In short
Best of NFL Week 2 Part 1 recap and debate—injuries and overreactions (Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams), plus game analysis (Cowboys-Commanders, Bears/Patriots-Steelers/Jets-Packers, and Chiefs offense vs Colts).
Guests
Ocho (former NFL player, “Unk” persona; discusses injuries, play-calling, and receiver technique) and Joe (co-host; focuses on stats, matchups, and coaching decisions).
Key claims
Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow again; X-rays negative for fracture and he’s expected to miss time, with the injury blamed on a freak step-on-foot moment and bracing. Caleb Williams’ hamstring “reaction” was viewed as exaggerated; he’s avoided a major injury and is day-to-day/week-to-week for next Monday vs the Eagles. Cowboys look like an offensive juggernaut: Dak 26/31, 279 yards; CeeDee Lamb 8 catches, 53 yards, 2 TDs; Washington neutralized the run. Chiefs look “old selves” because they now have a real running game (Kenneth Walker III) and improved offensive balance; Patrick Mahomes 32/47, 382 yards, 3 TD, no INT; Travis Kelce “old” form.
Notable examples
DeAndre Swift fumble on the 1-yard line in rain; Rodgers “looks old” after pressure/sacks and dropped DK Metcalf passes; Jets’ 17-7 fourth-quarter lead blown vs Packers; Chiefs receivers “body-catching” and Xavier Worthy/others dropping deep balls.

2:46Shannon Sharpe:Cowboys, defeat the Commanders 30-27. Horrible news for the Commanders that Jaden Daniels dislocated his elbow in the game. Coach Quinn said Daniels suffered another dislocated left elbow and is expected to miss some time. X-rays was negative and showed no fracture. The last time he injured the elbow, he missed about a month. I know about those dislocated elbows. I suffered one myself. Guys.
3:11Joe Johnson:That's the left guard fault, man. He stepped on his foot. Why you stepping back so far, man? Why you ain't kicked the damn field goal?
3:21Shannon Sharpe:You getting the ball coming out of the half. Remember, I just talked about coach's decision. Same thing. Ben Johnson, let me ask you a question.

4:38Shannon Sharpe:Run your game. Dallas Turner on a crucial play. That's what you really want. That's the Vikings' first to second best pass rusher. And you got him going against a pass-catching tight end. Really? Really? You should have had his ass out in a row. I don't get coaches. I don't.
5:03You're not going to make a living asking your tight end to block these
5:08Shannon Sharpe:premium defensive ends. You're not.
5:14Joe Johnson:Unless you're George Kittle. But go ahead.
5:16Shannon Sharpe:I don't want George Kittle consistently blocking Myles Garrett. I don't want him consistently blocking TJ Watt and a Will Anderson Jr. and a Dallas Turner. And I don't want him consistently. Yeah, he can win one or two, but that ain't what I want. No, sir. Left tackles have a problem with those guys. There's a reason why they make$40 and$50 million a year. You're not playing guys that kind of money that can't be the tight end and pass pro, I promise you. Right. I don't get, I don't get DQ. You're getting the ball coming out of the half. Take the points. You're getting the ball to start the half.
5:59Oh. He know damn three points ain't going to keep you in the game against the Cowboys and Jerry World. Joe, you're getting the ball to start the second half. That man needs to see. Hey, you got, look, did you see what Jayden Daniels was doing to us, bro? Yeah, I saw him. I'm talking about he had us at his mercy, running, throwing. We couldn't stop him. Doing everything.
6:22Shannon Sharpe:But when you can diss the field, I can limit where he can go. Because guess what I got to do, Joe? I came back at the end zone. He right there. That's why it gets harder for a scrambling quarterback, because I ain't got all that space to cover. Where he going? Where am I going, Ocho? You're right.
6:48Shannon Sharpe:And anybody concerned, this is the second time he's dislocated his elbow. Kind of like the same freakish play, too, ain't it, man?
6:57Joe Johnson:Yep. Hey, trying to put his hand down. Trying to brace himself. Trying to brace himself? Hey, that thing, that's the same elbow he dislocated, too, huh? Yeah, listen, I would think it would be a little stronger. Most of the time when you break something or you dislocate something, I thought it calcifies, you know, and it's a little bit more difficult for it to happen again. But if you just brace yourself and you're not putting that much weight, how does it dislocate that fast?
7:23Shannon Sharpe:It don't take much, Ocho. That's why they advise quarterbacks not to brace like that. Damn. He should let himself go and just fall, huh? Man, come on, man. Man, you got to do some push-ups or something, man. Come on. Hey, look, I understand. I understand. And, you know, him breaking himself, that shouldn't be enough to dislocate your damn elbow or your arm, bro. It don't take that much pressure to dislocate and break those kind of bones. It don't. But, Unk, there's no pressure on top of him. It's just his own body weight. But you got to realize, he might be double-jointed to begin with.
8:03I just think.
8:04Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you saw when he did it. I already knew when he did it. I did. As soon as he did it, I know what he did. I knew he was done. I knew he was done. I knew he wasn't coming back in the game. But, Unc, it's just hard for me to believe, bro. I'm just keeping it 100 with you. Ocho, hear me out. For you to stumble and fall and brace yourself and for you to dislocate your elbow twice, not just once, hey, man, it's something, bro. I'm being serious, man. You got to really lock in on your body, bro. Take care of yourself. Do your push-up. Like, hey, man, it's ways you can alleviate, you know, those type of injuries.
8:38Shannon Sharpe:I think because it's his non-dominant arm. Your dominant hand arm is stronger than the non-dominant. Because you use it. You build it up. It was a freak. It's a freak. That's why they call them freak accidents. It was an accident. It's freakish. But I just don't know, man. I mean, he was looking so good. I mean, scrambling through the pocket, throwing. I mean, and they had a chance. That man, they called it the one up the sideline. I thought he got a knee down. They say the ball moved. McLaurin. Hey, that was a touchdown. That was a touchdown. Yeah, I said it too. I thought it was a catch. That was a touchdown.
9:23Shannon Sharpe:McLaurin. When you run that, bro, run with width. Run with width. You got to realize the guy is rolling. The ball's going to sail. He in the quarterback. The ball's going to sell. Once you clear, Ocho, get wide. That's what the teacher, because you want the ball on your inside shoulder. Hey, do you blame McLaurin on that? Yeah, because I thought he should have got. Now, look, I can just base it on how when we ran gadget plays like that, we get wide. Right. Because. Who threw that ball? Who threw that ball? Hold on.
9:59Joe Johnson:Let me see. Joe, he wide over. Antonio Williams. My girl. My grandma could have made that throw. He wide open. We're talking about seven yards of separation.
10:10Shannon Sharpe:Just lay it up there. But see, the thing is, you want him to pull up and be like a quarterback. He's still throwing it on the move. And the ball tailed. That's why they taught us to get wide. Because in that situation, now I guarantee you, probably come in practice, he probably pulled up. And he probably looked like J.D. He probably pulled up. laid it out there to it.
10:38Joe Johnson:You know what? I guarantee you, you don't run that play without someone that has the ability to throw the ball. And I think he rushed it because he had time. He could have set his feet instead of going off the run. I think he saw McLaurin so wide open, he just wanted to get out his hands right away.
10:55Shannon Sharpe:I was like, oh my God.
10:56Joe Johnson:That was easy. With all that being said, Cowboys in the winning column. You can say what you want. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Both of y 'all slow down. It's week to week. It's still early in the season. It's second week. We had a must. I seen a lot of food gazes out here in the NFL, too, this weekend. Yeah. I seen some food gazes. We're going to get to it. I haven't seen some food gazes now. That's all I'm saying. From who? The Bears. Food gazes. Okay, okay.
11:28Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Oh, they had to get. Hey, man, look here. I don't know what DeAndre Swift was thinking. You can't fumble the ball on the one-yard line, Joe. And conditions like that, even if you don't get the ball in the end zone, he fumbled on first down. Yeah. I don't get a crack at second down. I don't get a crack at third down. And I don't get a chance at a field goal. I can't do that. The tight end, you got a ball, bro. You got to hold on to it. I get the conditions. I get that. But guess what? When it's raining, you going to pick up your check. Yeah, hell no. You don't drop it. You got to make plays, bro.
12:06Shannon Sharpe:I don't...
12:10Shannon Sharpe:I saw a lot of guys making plays today. Yo, y 'all won. That look good. I give him credit. 26 and 31, 279, four tubs. Yeah. CD. Get CD and credit. You saw CD? Huh? You saw CD lamb? That boy out there eating, wasn't it? Hey, hey, hey.
12:26Joe Johnson:CD stopped lamb. Hey, hold up, though. Hold up, though. I want y 'all to slow down because I want Picking to be patient. Your time. Keep going that thing. Keep going that thing. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just be patient, baby. We coming to you. Just be patient. Your time coming. It's still early. We still working some things out. Just be patient. Hey, what are we working out, Joe? Let me help you work them out. We are. We going to find him. He going to get his numbers. Okay, Ocho, we got him. Don't come to him. Ocho, you see what they're trying to do?
12:57Shannon Sharpe:They're trying to show up my value. Hey, say it again.
13:01Joe Johnson:if I had to shrink my value. That's all. Hey, say it again. That's the kind of game they play. No, no, no. Y 'all want him to sign that little$27 million knowing he could have been somewhere else just to do what they're doing today. Can I tell y 'all something? It's a lot easier when you go out there and you catch people by surprise. You catch these teams by surprise. He had that hell of a season last year. Hold up, Ocho. He had that hell of a season last year. He ain't surprising nobody. and now they gearing up to stop him and CD. Partner, we on all that. You know what I'm saying? But he doing his job.
13:35He doing his job. Ocho, you know, give him some time, man. We're going to work him in there. We're going to get him right. I just don't want him to get discouraged because, see, I know how you wide receiver get when y 'all ain't getting no touches and all that. You know what I mean? I know how y 'all start acting.
13:49Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Okay. Okay. But, no, the Cowboys offense look really, really good. Dak was sensational today. Go ahead, Ocho.
14:02Joe Johnson:I was going to say, I was going to mention Dak and that offense looking really good today. I'm going to let you pick it up.
14:08Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they look good. Dak, 26-31, 279. They didn't run the ball particularly well today. I thought Washington did a great job of neutralizing the run. But Dak did a great job of placing the ball. Actually, he dropped one. He should have had that one. Yep. But when you think about it, but this is what we talk about when we talk about an offensive juggernaut, on what it was that the Cowboys talking about, who they wanted to be before the season started, offensively being a hell of a, you know, team to deal with. I don't know what that was week one. Hopefully we didn't got it out of our system. But putting up these type of numbers, man, you're going to win a lot of games.

17:16Shannon Sharpe:it's far it's far
17:21Shannon Sharpe:it's 12 It's 12 to 14 hours. It's 11 to 14 hours from Baltimore. Hey, what day we play? That's a Monday night? Sunday. Sunday. Sunday. Sunday morning. We need to get over there by Wednesday. At least by Thursday. By Wednesday, Thursday, yeah. Make sure I hit Jerry. Make sure you get them boys over there early. Yeah. Are you feeling good? He feeling good about himself. Dak Prescott on breaking Tony Romo's all-time touch to Cowboys franchise passing record. I'm blessed. I'm honored. Records are meant to be broken, and I broke this one. Humble it. I don't take it for granted. CeeDee Lamb, eight catches, a buck 53, two tubs.
18:06Shannon Sharpe:Jake Ferguson, four catches, 43 yards, two tubs. Jerry was feeling good by himself. If I'm not mistaken, Jeff Bezos and his wife were in attendance at the game, and Jerry was talking some cash. He said, what did I tell y 'all? a dangerous man is an old man with money. Jerry said, y 'all ain't never heard that before? Hell, I think all men with money are dangerous. Not just old ones. You ain't lying, boy. You ain't lying. You ain't lying. The Cowboys look good, especially offensively. I thought Washington did some things to their defense and had some opportunity. I would have loved to see how this thing shaped up if Jay Daniels could have stayed in the game.
18:46Shannon Sharpe:But, hey, that's kind of been his MO. He's kind of been nicked. this year. He's going to have to be more doable. But I don't know. That's his frame. I don't know what else he can do, Ocho. That's his frame. Hey, but I got a question. When you think about Jaden Daniels, if you the commanders, I don't know how this season going to play. I don't know how much time he's going to miss. You got to resign that young fella and bring him back, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's your franchise. Yeah, you do. Yeah, I'm saying, And even if they missed his stint, even if he missed his stint and they get off to a bad start to where they get out of the playoff picture, you know what I mean?
19:28I think at some point he comes back, he gets back healthy.
19:31Shannon Sharpe:Oh, he's coming back in the lineup, whether they're 0-6, 0-7, it doesn't matter. He's still coming back in play. Right, right. Because if you're going to invest that type of money in him, you got to see something, man. You got to get back out there on that field.
19:46Joe Johnson:Hey, listen, he protected himself too when he did run the ball today.
19:50Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.
19:51Joe Johnson:Yeah, he got down. He didn't take no unnecessary punishment. And it's so funny, the one play where he does get hurt, the guard steps on his foot so he loses his balance. You know, come on, man.
20:06Shannon Sharpe:Take the field goal. And guess what? He ain't in the game. He can't step on his foot. I just don't know what it was hoping for. It's fourth down. Ocho, if it's third down and you got time, okay, let's try to make a play in the end zone. If it's not there, we can't. It's three seconds on the clock. Right. It's three seconds.

24:44Shannon Sharpe:Great news for the Bears. Caleb Williams avoided major hamstring injury and hasn't been ruled out against the Eagles next Monday. A lot has been made about Caleb Williams' reaction yesterday. Based on the injury status, was Caleb reaction a bit much? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
25:02Joe Johnson:Hey, he felt that thing pull on. You know, I'm not sure if you, Joe, if you ever. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, you know, I know. Hey, that thing grabbed what? Ocho. Matter of fact, you're a Joe. Ocho, the man felt like somebody shot him.
25:18Shannon Sharpe:I thought a sniper got it.
25:19Joe Johnson:Yeah, I thought it was his Achilles.
25:23Shannon Sharpe:I thought, and when they told me his hair, I said, well, for that reaction, I thought he tore it off the bone. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, they... Oh, Joe, they carted the man off the field. I mean, they carted the man into the locker room. The man had a towel over his head. Hey, y 'all, y 'all know who it is. It's your favorite uncle. And thank you, Ro, for sponsoring this video. You know what I've always believed? The biggest moments don't make you. They reveal whether you're prepared or not. Nobody waits until kickoff to start stretching. The work is already done. The preparation has already happened long before the lights even came on.
25:58Shannon Sharpe:It's no different getting ready for the bedroom and you don't want to get caught in your own head when it's time to perform. You want to be present, enjoy the moment, and have the confidence that comes with knowing you're ready. That's why I like Rose Sparks. It gets you erect in 15 minutes on average after it dissolves under your tongue and it lasts up to 36 hours. So when that moment strikes again and again, you're ready to perform again and again, if necessary, every time. That's what I call a dove. So if you want to get erect fast and be ready for sex up to 36 hours, you've got to see if prescription Roe sparks are right for you.

27:17Joe Johnson:You know, you know, that pool, I'm telling you, that pool scare you. You ever, hey, Joe after a game? You ever been there and you move the wrong way, you catch a charley horse? Yeah. All right. Now, that'll get you right. Nah, I done strained that hammock before. I know it ain't no joke. But to say he going to be back next Monday out for his reaction? I wouldn't. That's all we said.
27:39Shannon Sharpe:We're glad that it's not as serious as it could have been. Right, right, right. But the reaction that he gave, I thought the man done half the season. I think we had everybody to put him on IR and hopefully. Are they talking about week to week? That potential he could play? Hey, week to week, they said day to day. Yeah. You did say day to day.
27:59Joe Johnson:You're right, Ocho. Hey, I don't think he plays next week. I think they play it safe. Allow that hamstring to rest, you know, a following week. I'll say because it's going to be sore. It's going to be sore, especially if he had a pull. And if you are day to day, nah. You know, I take caution. Take caution. How do you say it? Caution to the wind?
28:21Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah.
28:23Joe Johnson:Let caution.
28:24Shannon Sharpe:When you throw caution to the wind, you just put him out there.
28:26Joe Johnson:Yeah. Joe, you laughing at me? Yeah, well, hey, you're a special dude.
28:32Shannon Sharpe:He got away with words, though, Joe. He got away with words.
28:35Joe Johnson:Hey, he's a special character. He's a special character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I don't use the saying often. I know it. I just don't know how to phrase it the right way.
28:42Shannon Sharpe:Right, right, right, right. You want him to be cautious. Yeah.
28:47Joe Johnson:Yeah.
28:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. You don't want to throw caution to the wind. Throwing caution to the wind means you're going to put him out there. Then he's going, hey, don't even worry about nothing. Whatever happens, happens.
28:54Joe Johnson:Oh, just let it go? Okay. You're right, man.
28:57Shannon Sharpe:Look at Joe. Man, why Joe laughing at you, Ocho? Hey.
29:03Joe Johnson:Hey. You know what? Joe ain't going to understand, man, to just left and right touch him, man. Nah, see? See? There you go. I've been cool with you. I know you've been cool with you. All right, well, don't start like that. Don't start talking like that. Don't do that. Don't do that. You're saying, I'm lightly pissed off by the picking situation over there with the Cowboys, so you might feel my wrath, boy. So it's best you tread lighter. You hear me? Hey, look. You skating on thin ice, boy. Man, damn that thin ice. And I don't care nothing about you lightly being pissed off. I don't care nothing about that.
29:42BAA, we're going to get picked straight. We're going to get him right. He's going to get his money on.
29:47Joe Johnson:Yeah, and he better get it this week. He better get what? Not only his money, he better get his ball. Pause. He can't get no money because he signed a franchise tax,
29:59Shannon Sharpe:so they can't do no negotiating, Ocho.
30:01Joe Johnson:He's going to get K-side them if they wanted to. I'm not talking about that. I'm just saying.
30:05Shannon Sharpe:You say the money, you mean the ball, the footballs. Yes, he needs the footballs. Hey, hold on, hold on. Ocho, he's going to get his opportunities, okay? It's just like us going out and it's a bunch of girls around. I can't make them talk to you. You know what I mean? I can only put you in the vicinity. I can only put you around it. I can't make them do nothing else. It's just like in football, Dak, like, man, listen, you open. I can throw you the ball here. You just got to catch it.
30:30Joe Johnson:You hear me? Hey, Joe, I like that scenario. But my baby watching, so I ain't really going to say nothing. I'm going to try to use. So I'm just going to let that one go. but yeah. I get your premise. I get your general premise. Yeah. Yeah. I understand.
30:48Shannon Sharpe:Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Good. You know Pickens to Baltimore. Nah. Nah. Him and Zay? Yeah. Now Lamar ain't gonna know who to throw to. Come on. See here y 'all go. Here y 'all go. I mean it's gonna cost him too much and they got to do something with Lamar. I already told you where he's going. The Raiders? Yes. Okay. Tom Brady ain't having that out there, bro. Man, please.
31:23Joe Johnson:We need the number one. They do? Every team has to have that guy. Hell, he look good in Sandy. He look good with the Chargers, too. Ooh, that's a good one, boy. That's a good one.
31:41Shannon Sharpe:Pete, don't listen to him, Pete. You know that man ain't going to be in Dallas next year. Man, he out there with his brother, CeeDee Lamb. Man, they brother. Man, they man out there. He going to get his money out at Ojo? I saw my brother every offseason. I ain't want to play with him, though. We did not need to be teammates.
32:06Shannon Sharpe:He want his catches knowing that they're going to give him 160 targets? They're not going to give two guys no 160 targets, Ocho.
32:14Joe Johnson:Mm-mm. No, sir. He needs his own team. I ain't playing second fiddle to nobody. But you know the grass ain't always green on that side, Ocho. He going to make it green?
32:28Shannon Sharpe:Just water and fertilizer, Joe. What type of grass you got? You got St. Augustine? You got fescue? You got centipede? What you got, crabgrass? I don't even know what you got. And I just need, I'll tell you, the fertilizer and the food, the feed it, the get it to green. Make it look like Augusta National. No, we got that synthetic. We got that synthetic grass. Oh, yeah, so you got field turf. Nah, see, there ain't even no real grass. Listen, we keep the maintenance low around here, okay? I know, nah, nah. I'm watering fertilizer. I'm getting that old St. Augustine. I like that old thick, that thick grass.
33:04Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. Yeah. A fresh chop on that grass too. With that line going between the concrete. That thing, that manicure is so good. You like, ooh, when you come home. Ain't nothing like that, is it? No, sir. No, boy. Yeah, I don't, you know, cut a little St. Augustine and a centipede as a fisk. I done cut some of that in my time. You know, I ain't gonna cut no more. Yeah. You done with the grass cutting? Oh, I been done, man. Look here. The last grass I cut, I cut my, I cut my grandmother's grass. This had to be 1990?
33:44Shannon Sharpe:91 maybe?
33:45Joe Johnson:I can't pitch you out there with no lawn mower and no wheel.
33:49Shannon Sharpe:I brought my sister because my sister was cutting it. Bought her a... John Deere? That's what it had. She had a John Deere. The Ryan Lawn Mower joint? Yeah. Boy, I wish I might get out there with a pushy lawn mower. Man, I wish I might. The hell? I've been done with that. Hell to the no. Hey, I was cutting grass with a pushing lawnmower when I was in college working with a guy down there cutting grass. I'm talking about we had big, they had acres. And I'm pushing that lawnmower. I'm pushing that pushing lawnmower. Yeah, man. That thing whip you in some shape, boy. Hey, these young kids, they don't know nothing about that.
34:31They don't know nothing about getting out there working, cutting two yards, making$5. They don't know nothing about that.
34:37Joe Johnson:They don't know nothing about no hard labor. No, no, no. No, no. No, but that$5 went a long way, boy.
34:43Shannon Sharpe:Long way. I ain't no no better, Joe. I'm out there with my shirt off, that sun down on my back. I'm talking about looking like a chimney sweeper. Hey, you don't see nothing but eyes, Joe. You don't see nothing but eyes. I'm talking about the broad daylight. Hey, you done picked the hottest time of the day to get out there and cut the grass. Yeah. I ain't have no choice. That'd be this, hey, it's June to July. I ain't got no choice but to cut it. They're like, man, look at that big old, look at that stick of charcoal with legs.
35:16Hey, boy, I know what you mean, boy. The hell to the dog. Hey, hey, hey, and don't let that grass get through there high, boy, where you have to slow, you have to slowly go through the. no you gotta push it
35:27Shannon Sharpe:and then come bring it back and push it and bring it oh hell
35:34Shannon Sharpe:man please you can't go because it'll fall out on you oh man oh man oh no that's how I was in the house I tell my brother hey you cut the back I cut the side
35:53Shannon Sharpe:hell no It take you as long to cut the back and then cut both the sides. Nah, I said, nah, bro. I'm good. You got that.
36:12Shannon Sharpe:Oh, what? But the man, Caleb fooled us though, Joe. Joe, he fooled us. He got me. He got me good. Hey, it ain't like he hopped. He dropped. He stopped.
36:24Joe Johnson:Yeah, he had to fall. You know, that's that let the body go limp because something happened, something went wrong.
36:30Shannon Sharpe:I said, oh, my God. I said, oh, what had happened?
36:34Joe Johnson:Yeah, he... It's a good thing, though. That's good news, huh? Look, hey, hey, a little over-exaggeration.
36:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. You see Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart said, no, I'll get that stinking cart out of here. I ain't getting on no cart.
36:46Joe Johnson:I'm going to walk it off, huh?
36:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Caleb said, hey, let your boy get on there. I'm glad I'm glad it did what got me we had the towel on his head that's what really got me yeah I said oh man damn yeah he be out for a couple
37:11Shannon Sharpe:the Patriots defeated the Steelers by the score of 20 to 3 Aaron Rodgers 23 of 39 187 yards one interception here's Rodgers needing better communication with Mike McCarthy. In a game like today where there wasn't a lot of flow to it, we need to be better, and it starts with me, at making sure Mike knows what's working, what's not working, our coaches know, and so we can call stuff that we feel like has a better chance.
37:41Joe Johnson:I like that. That's fair.
37:43Shannon Sharpe:So you think Mike McCarthy called a play, and said, yeah, I know this one ain't going to work. Send this one in.
37:48Joe Johnson:Hey, Aaron. No, but hold on, hold on, hold on. Now, there's a coach on the sideline, right? There's a coach on the sideline that's calling plays to a player who's been playing for 20-plus years that can see what he's calling and knows there are better play calls if he communicates with them that what you're calling isn't working. But A, B, and C does work based on what they're doing. I think that's all he's saying. Now, I could be wrong. He need to play.
38:15Shannon Sharpe:How about he start getting fumbled in the football? and let them scoop and score. How about he stop throwing interception? Now, that ain't what the quarterback, that ain't what the coach called. Fumble on one. Ready? Break. Let's go red right, a zip motion, throw a pick on one. Ready? Break. That ain't what the coach called. Aaron Rodgers look old. Chad, if you watch this game today, he look like a 42-year-old quarterback. He doesn't look like the old Aaron Rodgers. He look like an old Aaron Rodgers. If you watch this game, Chad, y 'all know I'm telling the truth. Yeah. Yeah. If you watch it, you know.
38:54Shannon Sharpe:If you watch this game, Ocho, Aaron Rodgers look bad. He didn't get a whole lot of help. DK has got to stop dropping the football, Ocho. I mean, Ocho, it is bad. Ocho is bad. Em, you saying he got to stop dropping? How far along he in his career? It is what it is now.
39:20Yeah, this wasn't just a loss, bro. This was an offensive, I would say, an offensive shutdown by New England, bro. They pressured Rodgers the whole entire game. Sacked him four times. Yeah, eliminated all those big plays and forced Pittsburgh into, you know, third and longs pretty much all night. Still, his defense gave him opportunities. But, hell, the offense never got going, bro. They never caught a rhythm. I'm like you, huh? Rodgers did look old, bro. His pocket presence, Ocho, like, you know, the way he used to move in the pocket, slizzing through cats. Yeah. Ain't none of that no more, man.
39:59Wasn't the same, Joe? Nah, it ain't the same no more. It ain't the same.
40:03Joe Johnson:Okay. Hey, I'm glad you say that, Joe, because that gave me a lot of confidence, man, for this Sunday coming up. Oh, that's who y 'all got? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they got us, Joe. Okay. Y 'all got them in Cincinnati or y 'all in Pittsburgh? That's a good question. Let me see. Let me see. Hey, honestly, you know what? It don't even matter what we got about. It don't matter what we got. You know. Hey, you know great players, Ocho. They don't necessarily have two bad games in a row now. Oh, you talking about Chase and Burrow? Nah, I'm talking about Aaron Rodgers. I'm talking about Aaron Rodgers.
40:39Joe Johnson:Hey, DK Metcalf. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You see that defense we got over there now? You see that defense that played today? You see that defense that played week one? That caused four turnovers? If y 'all think he turned the ball over today, what you think going to happen when he play against us? I don't know. He might be locked in when he play against y 'all. He ain't going to be locked in. He's going to be locked up. All right. What about Metcalf? Metcalf. Hey, that's my dog. But he ain't going to be able to get open on DJ Turner. Okay. Huh? Dax Hill? Hey, DJ. Hey, McCall. Huh? And who going to cover Chase?
41:24Joe Johnson:Are they playing around with Joey Porter Jr.? I don't know. Oh, anybody got no answers? Chat, y 'all got answers? Any Steelers fans in the chat? Do you have a solution or an answer for Jamar Chase or Tee Higgins?
41:42Shannon Sharpe:I know the Steelers better have an answer. Aaron Rodgers need to play better.
41:48Shannon Sharpe:They won week one. He talking about the plays calling coming in. Nah, bro. You're not moving well. You didn't look good today. You're old. And the thing is, when you're an older player, you can have flashes, but you can't be consistent and stack those games together. That's what happens when you get old. and I'm not as great a player as Aaron Rodgers was, but I was great in my own way. And when I got older, I couldn't consistently string those games together. I retired seven years, seven years, but Aaron Rodgers is in year 22. Damn.
42:33Damn.
42:39Shannon Sharpe:Instead of airing out everybody, what's going on? you need to focus on this game. You need to focus on these games. You keep going on everybody podcasting and telling all your personal business and stuff like that. This ain't it. This ain't it, bro. Because you look bad out there today. I know ain't nobody in Pittsburgh going to tell you. Ain't nobody on the team going to tell you that you keep doing that. You going to keep doing it. You got your weekly appearances. Hey, God bless you. But bro, you look bad.
43:15Shannon Sharpe:the Packers defeated the Jets 2017 in overtime the Jets gave this game away up 17-7 in the fourth quarter the Packers are the first team on record since 1941 to win a game with less than 200 total yards 100 plus penalty yards negative turnover end of the day the teams were 0-44 look at those stats damn
43:44Joe Johnson:Hey, listen, I'm mad at the Jets. Let this one get away. There's some questionable calls, obviously, from Aaron Glenn. But being up 17-7 in the fourth, we got to make better decisions. We have to make better decisions. And I'm glad the Jets are playing the way they're playing, even though they did lose. They're fighting. Yeah. They're showing that culture. They've changed it around. Aaron Glenn is doing a good job. Obviously, there's some things that need to be fixed to make sure situations like this don't happen again. Just supposed to win this game, Uncle Ocho. Yeah. They had it under control.
44:23They let it slip away. Green Bay was undisciplined, inefficient. Oh, man, what? I thought the defense gave Jordan Love, you know, enough opportunities to kind of steal it. But hell, they weren't great offensively. I thought they defensively weren't kind of toting them. But the Jets had this game, bro. That's why we always say bad teams, they find a way to lose, man. They find a way to lose.
44:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Both teams, look at that. Green Bay, Ocho, 14 penalties, 133 yards. The Jets say, you know what? We're going to have one fewer penalty, but we're going to have 23 more yards. 13 for a buck, 56. It was ugly. Filled in the yards. It was ugly. My goodness. But see, keep not playing your players in the preseason. There you go. This is what you get. There you go. You get real sloppy football. This is what you get. But I tell you what, hey, y 'all keep on doing y 'all. Y 'all know more. Yeah, I'm with you. That ugly football. It's ugly football early in the season, man, because these dudes trying to fine tune, fine rhythm.
45:31They trying to gain some chemistry. That's why by week four, five, six, you'll probably start to see teams in ref form. But early here, they ain't had no real training camp preseason for real. Nope.
45:46Shannon Sharpe:And I thought Gino played well today. Yeah. Hey, that's my quarterback. I don't know why Aaron Glenn went for it in the negative. Point to ball.
46:00Joe Johnson:Huh? I don't know why. Analytics. What? Anytime you see coaches go for it, you know, today, Aaron Glenn, Dan Campbell, Ben Johnson, Sirianni, analytics. Analytics has taken over the game.
46:17Shannon Sharpe:Okay.
46:18Joe Johnson:Analytics says in certain situations, based on down and distance, where you are, you're supposed to go for it. And they're listening. Instead of having a feel for the game and understanding the flow and how things are going. You know better than using common sense and logic when you should go forward and when you shouldn't. You know that, but you're relying on analytics. It's messing up the game. You bought a sofa you didn't have to assemble. A suit someone measured just for you.

50:47Shannon Sharpe:Well, we have a barn burner. Patrick Mahomes, 32 of 47, 382, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a game-winning drive. Mahomes is now 8-0 in the regular season overtime time games. Kenneth Walker as a chief, 191 total yards week one, 178 total yards in week two, averaging 185 yards per game. Daniel Jones' loss pushes Daniel Jones' record in prime time games to one in 16, a win percentage of less than six. Mahomes were great. Travis Kelsey looked like the old Travis Kelsey, not an old Travis Kelsey. He looked phenomenal tonight. But the thing is, I was talking about the Chiefs receiver. They do too much body catching for me.
51:33Shannon Sharpe:They got too much. Joe, you got, I mean, think about it. You got Xavier, you got Worthy, 4-2-1. Tyquan Underwood, 4-2-7. You got Rasheed Rice that's a high 4-3 or low 4-4. Come on, bro. Use your hand. And what they doing over Tyquan Thornton had to pluck it out of the sky. Oh, Joe, Joe, I'm going to let y 'all have at it. What did you like about, what did the Chiefs show you tonight that had been missing from this offense over, say, the last seemingly, I guess, year?
52:01Joe Johnson:Hey, one person, Uncle Joe. One thing has changed the dynamic of this offense, being that they haven't had a Tyreek Hillier in a very long time, and Patrick Mahomes had to do everything as far as taking that team where they want to go to. Kenneth Walker Jr. The third. Kenneth Walker, excuse me, I'm sorry, Kenneth Walker III. The simple fact that they have a running game now, and every time, not only do they have a running game, he can also catch the ball out the backfield. He was dangerous and hurt them tonight out the backfield as well, also while doing it on the ground as well. The fact that they can establish a run like that and they're not one-dimensional anymore where Patrick Mahomes has to do everything through the air, it makes them that much dangerous.
52:40Joe Johnson:They can pick and choose what they want to do now. They can pick and choose what they want to do because they can run the ball as efficient as they are right now. Hey, I'm with you, Ocho. I think, you know, if I'm Mahomes, man, I lean on Kenneth K9. I lean on him, Uncle Ocho, because he going to be your bell cow. You know, he'll get you through the season, through them dog days, through them dog weeks, you know what I mean? When guys ain't really bringing it, hey, man, I don't know. I know they devalue the running back. But then he was carrying them. And I think Mahomes is crafty enough, Uncle Ocho, to where he can get through.
53:14He can be effective. He can make plays. I like the little pitching catches that he had with Kelsey to get Kelsey going, you know, to get him out there, to get him opened up. and he got to use some weapons that he got out there of them receivers. I think those guys have been pretty good. I think Thornton has been great. Ankin Ocho taking the top off the defense. That boy getting behind today. He making plays. I know he was on nightcap last year and hey man it's good to see that young man out there really making plays because he said he wanted more opportunities and he got them.
53:45Shannon Sharpe:Yep.
53:46Joe Johnson:Yeah. Hey Uncle Joe remember when he came on here last year and he was making those plays and obviously was it Rasheed Rice came back. When Rasheed Rice was out, they gave him a lot of opportunities. And he made the most of those opportunities, right? And tonight, Joe, he gets those opportunities again. What does he do on both the balls? He made most of those catches. Clutch moments. I'm not sure why they're not – maybe I don't – I might be wrong, Uncle Joe, but to have Xavier Worthy over there, and he not really have an impact on the game the way he should as fast as he is, something ain't right I don't know if they're not using him right did you not see him drop that deep ball
54:29Shannon Sharpe:oh no did you not see that yeah what he looking to do with the ball hitting dead in his chest I mean Mahomes can't throw it any better than that
54:40Joe Johnson:hey that was on the rope that was on the rope but I don't know what it is they just he's such he's such a dynamic player He's so dynamic. To be able to be that fast, you should be able to find a multitude of ways to use him, especially get him in space and use his speed, create mismatches for him. I don't know. Maybe I'm tripping. No, you're not tripping.
55:04Shannon Sharpe:I think the thing is, Ocho, but you've got to realize he's built like a track runner. He's not built like Tyreek. Tyreek is built sturdy. Tyreek is 185 pounds. You've got to realize, Worthy is about 165. He ain't really trying to take no hits. That ain't what he's looking to do, Ocho. He's looking to stretch the field, and that's what they wanted. He was supposed to be the replacement for Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill can take any route. He can run the route tree. I don't know how blessed to run the route tree worthy is. He's going to have to work on that. But he just needs he and Thornton and these fast guys need to work on their hands.
55:40Shannon Sharpe:Just work on plucking the ball, Ocho. Now, look, everybody is not gifted to be able to just pluck the ball because we're going to talk about the Steelers and DK Metcalf, and a lot of guys are not just natural catchers of the football.
55:52Joe Johnson:I was going to say that. Everybody, there are very few that are natural catchers. You can just tell, Joe. You can tell natural catchers as opposed to those who it seemed like they fight the ball. Yes, yes. And the ball is there. It seems like they fight. It just don't look natural. But go ahead. Yeah, and that's the thing.
56:08Shannon Sharpe:Look, I thought both teams, and we talked about this a little bit at the top, is that Indy's 0-2, but they got a good football team, man. They really do. Very good. They just ran into a team that almost had over 500 yards of total offense. That's what happened. There are not a whole lot of teams that don't have this kind of firepower. You're not going to have a quarterback like Mahomes. He's the only one. And then you have that kind of speed. Because you got, I mean, they can get by you in the blink of an eye. And they don't look like they're running, but, boy, they moving. They moving. Rasheed Wright on the third down.
56:44Shannon Sharpe:He got to make that catch. But he caught him trying to catch him with his body. Body, yeah. You think the people around him? But see, the thing is, if I catch him with my hand, I'm going to make you come through me. See, here's the thing. If I catch him with my body, as soon as he hit me, he hit me, the ball gone. The ball gone. Yeah, right. And guys still catching the ball below their waist, hands, thumbs. Bro. Yeah, thumbs down.
57:10Joe Johnson:I don't know why they do that. I don't know why they do it either, Joe. Listen, and that's what we're talking about, about natural pass catchers. Because if you're a natural pass catcher, this wouldn't even feel comfortable if the ball didn't leave your waist. You would automatically have your palms up. Just automatically. If you're a natural catcher of the ball. I mean, just, I mean.
57:30Shannon Sharpe:The homeboy is supposed to have 400. Worthy dropped one. Kelsey dropped the seven route. Remember Kelsey dropped the seven route? Yeah. Rasheed Rice dropped one. He's supposed to have been over 400 easy. But they'll take the win. And that's what you have to have. Sometimes you have to like your guys struggle, but you find a way. And when you least expect it, guess what Mahomes did when he needed to have it? Took off running. Yeah. Yeah. He took off running. Yeah. Man, he ain't going to run. He's not going to be. Now, the thing is, if it's third and short, if it's fourth and one, Mahomes is never going to sneak it again.
58:04Shannon Sharpe:Because remember the last time he ran a sneak, he dislocated his knee. So guess what? Yeah. He's under that same umbrella that Peyton Manning. Once Peyton Manning hurt his neck, he never quarterbacked again. Mahomes ain't going to quarterback sneak again. So now how do I play him? I got these speed guys. They're going to run me off. He's faster than you think. He's not looking to run, so he's the lawyer to sleep. He ain't really ran the whole night. Yep. Now all of a sudden you're going to take your ass off. You make me sick.
58:33Joe Johnson:Hold on, hold on, hold on. How about Uncle Joe? How about Mahomes taking off, right? acting like he's going out of bounds and then cut back up for another two or three extra yards.
58:42Shannon Sharpe:He knows he wants to make it third and short. I don't want to make it third and one to two. I don't want to make it third and three to four. Those two yards, that one to two yards is a big difference because we see guys get stopped on a fourth and two and things of that nature. I thought he played well tonight. I thought Travis Kelsey reminded everybody like, hey. And you know what? I'm telling you right now. If my old lady don't cheer on me on, like Taylor Swift triumphant, we break it up. That's my husband. When I come in, that's me. That's my man. If I don't hear that come out your mouth, we might be in the restaurant.
59:27Shannon Sharpe:I get up and come to the bathroom. I want you to stand up. That's my man. That's my man. Don't do it. I'm done. I'm out. Go ahead, Joe. Hey, them boys over there in Kansas City, they living right Uncle Ocho. You know what I mean? Boys that got married, you know. Hey, things running a little smooth over there, you know.
59:49Joe Johnson:Now, listen, we need to pay attention to the signs now, Uncle Joe. Pay attention to the signs, to the number of people, especially athletes, NFL players, that have gotten married and noticed how everything in their life has been aligned and going in the right direction, right? Huh? It ain't no secret. It ain't no surprise. I'm telling you, it's a sign now. We need to jump that broom. I don't know if we wait for it. I'm going to tell you what's the sign. The sign is that the Kansas City Chiefs got K-9 over there. They got a balanced squad. They got a balanced squad that, you know, with that passing attack and that running game, that running game, it gives you vulnerabilities in the defense, bro, to where it can open up and you can take the top off, you know, the offense and guys like throwing, hey man, I ain't gonna lie, Kansas City looks scared, bro.
1:00:40They look scared.
1:00:41Shannon Sharpe:Because what they can do now, guys, when they play fake it, you really have to step your ass up because if you don't, those guys, if you're not a linebacker or a D-lineman, you ain't really trying to tackle K-9. Well, you see how hard that boy running? Yeah. He almost tore Sauce Gardner growing out there, man. That boy running so hard. But you know what? He's running because he got something to prove. He says, I'm Super Bowl MVP and the team that I won the MVP for, they didn't want me back. Yeah. Boy, when you're dealing with somebody and they got something to prove, and I'm not trying to prove you wrong, I'm just trying to prove me right.
1:01:19Shannon Sharpe:You look at what he did. Now, he signed for like$15 million. What's the growing rate for a running back? $20 ,000. $22 ,000. They got him at a discount. He said, well, you know what? Ken said, I appreciate you. Because all I wanted to be was wanted. Yeah.
1:01:36Joe Johnson:That's it. But also, no disrespect to him, you know, he's very good. And he went to the right system too. He went to the right system. He went to the right team where they do value him, right? But he can't take it personal. He has to also understand the market, you know, and they're running backs. They're running backs. They're tears of these running backs. I'm not going to joke.
1:01:59Shannon Sharpe:He's a Derrick Henry type of running back. He's a bail cow. Now, Bijan, Jameer, and Klamak. Jameer Gidebs.
1:02:09Joe Johnson:That's a different caliber.
1:02:11Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to line you up in the slot. I'm going to throw you out the backfield. I'm going to do a lot of different things. I'm going to let you get your 20 carries, but I'm also probably going to shoot you five to eight passes during the course of the day. K9, can he catch the ball? Absolutely. Because you see him running on the wheel ride outside, and Mahomes overshot him a little bit. Yeah. But you see, a lot of guys on their, when they ran, what we call it, we call it slide. When they ran K-9 on the slide, you see how Mahomes got the ball up over the D-end because a lot of guys try to throw it flat.
1:02:43Shannon Sharpe:He got it wide open and they bat it down. Mahomes got that touch over there, got it over the top of him. K-9 did the rest and they end up coming off and kicking a field goal to win it in no time on the clock. But I thought the Chiefs looked good. Very good. I tweet it. Because, you know, normally when I tweet stuff, I watch an instant replay. I'm tweeting because I'm trying to get it right before I see replay. If I see the replay, Ocho, I mean, that kind of defeat the purpose. So I'm trying to see it with my real eye, my naked eye. I tweet it. I say they might rule him down by contact. Man. Normally the trolls are in there, thank you, Captain Obvious.
1:03:19Shannon Sharpe:Ain't nobody say nothing tonight. Everybody was in the chat. Oh, that's a fumble. That's a fumble. Ain't no way they can overturn that. I thought I was Captain Obvious. Yeah. Oh, you don't say. They let you off on that one. Hey, that happened to me just like that. Caught a pass, got up, running, dude hit me in the back, fumbling the ball in the end zone, no, Chojo. Damn. For game? Yeah. No, we end up winning. We've beaten the Steelers. We end up winning a game because my guy jumped on it. But I had none got relaxed. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, I got me a tuck. Oh, damn.
1:04:01Shannon Sharpe:whiplash. No, but look, look. I thought the Chiefs, with this running game, they're going to be tough offensively. Man. And they're only going to get better. Mahomes, that knee is only going to get stronger. You got to realize all the damage that he did to that knee. And he started week one. No setbacks. The middle of the year, by the time we get to, like, the beginning of November, middle of November, he's going to be in red form. If you ain't got him by then, you probably ain't going to get him. Yeah.
1:04:33Joe Johnson:He look like he in red form right now. It's only week two. A lot of offenses that we're used to seeing looking good, you know, later on in the season, he picking up right where he left off.
1:04:43Shannon Sharpe:Kenneth Walker III is the only player in the last 40 seasons to have 175-plus scrimmage yards in each of his first two games of a season. 40 years. That boy out there eating on that old joke. He doing it. I'm talking about he doing it every which way too, man. I'm talking about he has made the Chiefs so valuable now. You know, because they don't have to lean so much on Mahomes and depend on him to come out here and be heroic. Man, you can hand that ball off to that boy. He can carry and tote. Man, they going to be scary, bro. It's something they haven't had since they had Williams with the first Super Bowl and James McKinnon.
1:05:18Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Because I like Emmitt Johnson. Emmitt Johnson run tough. Yeah, he do. He do. Emmitt Johnson run tough, man. I love that.
1:05:25Joe Johnson:You saw Emmitt Johnson? Well, he had about three plays in a row. Three plays in a row. They kept giving it to him. And came up out of all three of them, didn't he?
1:05:32Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Every last one. I love that kid. I love that kid. But Big Red, he knew in order for this offense to keep going and to take some pressure off of Mahomes, especially early, they needed a running back. They identified their guy early. In free agency, Kenneth Walker. Hey, you on a plane? You're coming here. Yeah. Man, they look good. But I can say it. I don't want to say it. Look, and I know India's feeling bad about themselves, but they got a good ball club, man. They do. They got a good ball club. They got a real good ball club. Jonathan Taylor, he for real. Hey, Jonathan Taylor, man, that Joe got speed to burn, man.
1:06:22Shannon Sharpe:You see that Joe hit that crease on Joe? You see Jonathan Taylor hitting that crease on that right side. They toss it to him. Yeah, he could go. Hey, the Chiefs had a tough time with him tonight. A tough time. They had a real tough time stopping him, man. But it seemed like they were – I don't know what they were doing. Because if you look at the defense, it's normally if I slam my off defensive line one way, the backers got to go the other way. Why are we all going the same way? Because if he cut back, it's going to be a gash.
1:06:52Joe Johnson:Yeah. Hey, you know about that Because that's what y 'all ran every time I call it Hey, Zone Reed Peyton Manning And Edren And Joseph Adai When y 'all had Clint Portis And when y 'all had T Y 'all love that Zone Reed
1:07:11Shannon Sharpe:Go back and look at us You studied the Broncos From when Mike got there in 95 Until when he left All the backs It was a rarity for us not to have a thousand yard back Started with TD, and then it went to Mike Anderson. Remember Mike Anderson was rookie of the year? Then we got Clinton Portis. Clinton Portis leave, they get Ruben Drones. I mean, they just have turn back after back. It's a system. It is a system. You get one cut, and you get your ass down here. All that dancing, you ain't at the nightclub. We ain't doing no dancing. One cut, get your ass down here. Get me back to the line of scrimmage second and 10, not second and 12.
1:07:47Shannon Sharpe:Yes. That's the only rule. But congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs. 33 in Napa's coast. 30. They walk it off in overtime. 33, 30. Quiet confidence. It's not what you see.
