Best of NFL Week 3 Part 1: Deshaun Watson WINS + Mile High CONTROVERSY + Falcons SHOCKER at Lambeau

17:48Shannon Sharpe:So tell me, do y 'all think that, you know, Penix, you know, he can unlock the Falcons, Uncle Ocho, or is it simply going to take a heroic effort from B. John Robinson night in and night out for them to be able to compete? I mean, hell, they got a win. At the end of the day, a win is a win. I'm sure a lot of these Falcon fans, they have it. You're on the winning side. So there is hope. There is some promise. Let's hope Penix can keep this up, bro, because, hey, man, this city's starving for a pretty good team. Well, that's why I pay Bijan the big bucks because he's a guy that can carry me. He can be my bell cow because I can hand it to him.

18:25Shannon Sharpe:I can throw it to him. I can do a lot of different things, and he can make people miss. He's one of the few guys that can make something out of nothing. There are not a whole lot of guys that can turn a two-yard loss into a 10-yard gain. He can take a two-yard loss and turn it into a 50-yard spectacular. He has that accountability. His ability to start and stop and look at it with him. He had the ball here. He goes all the way up and er and er in the middle of the field and don't lose no momentum. Normally, guys, Ocho, you got to break down to do all that. He running full, stopping. No. And guys just take off again.

19:07Shannon Sharpe:He back to full speed again.

19:09Joe Johnson:Yeah, and not only is he good, Uncle Joe, at being able to make people miss in small areas, he's really good at setting up his blocks too. He's really good at setting up his blocks, holding that line just enough, just so there's enough contact and bouncing off of that. He reads the defense, he reads the defenders, excuse me, really, really well and plays off his blocks. And once he hits that cut, man, he's nice with it.

19:37Shannon Sharpe:Very nice with it. Yeah. he's patient he's fast but he's never in a hurry right but look at that long run that he had he got it, he got to the sideline and now all of a sudden they hand it to him he's on the right side they got him dead to right well they thought they had him dead to right he's one of the few guys, there's not a whole lot of guys in the league that's getting out of that right there what he got out of yeah, yeah now he's special now he's special Yeah, if he can keep this up. I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about can Penix keep this up? The offensive line, I thought the offensive line did a good job of protecting Penix.

20:20Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. He just, I mean, he stared the guy down. Bro, you can't stare the guy down in the middle of the field. That's going to be a pick. The same thing Jordan Love did at the end of the game. You see that guy picked? I'm going to the house on that one. I ain't going to even lie to you, Ocho. They done knocked the quarterback ass on the ground. Ain't nothing but green guys, Ocho. I'm saying, Coach, I'm sorry. I may have to hold it like this here, but I'm going to the house. Hold on, hold on. That's a touchdown. That's disrespectful. That's disrespectful at the end. They're still throwing it.

20:46Joe Johnson:Yeah.

20:47Shannon Sharpe:That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm going to the house. It's like, team, y 'all get mad at me. Okay, team keep trying to score. Y 'all keep trying to score. Now, all of a sudden, y 'all miss a shot. I go down there and dunk it. Now y 'all mad. Don't do that. Hey, that's what I'm doing. No, y 'all was trying to score. I just returned it to favor. I thought that's what we was doing. I thought this was basketball. You score, I score. I ain't know it was just you score, you score, you score. I'm going to the eyes on that one, Joe. Yeah. They be ready to fight after that. Don't worry about it. They be ready to fight.

21:19Shannon Sharpe:Well, you have to fight in the end zone. That's where I'm going to be at, Ocho. I won't be hard to fight. I'll be in the end zone. Do it all. As a matter of fact, I might Lambo leap. Yeah. I'm going to Atlanta plunge.

21:35Joe Johnson:Hey, y 'all think y 'all might be jumping the gutter a little bit too? Was Stefanski making a decision on who's the starting quarterback? Oh, Penix is the guy. I'm just asking, you don't think we're overreacting a little bit just because it's one game? Mind you, they were 0-2.

21:50Shannon Sharpe:They were 0-2. And guess what, Ocho? They didn't look like this. They didn't score 20. Think about it. They just scored three points on Sunday. Yeah.

24:46Joe Johnson:Yeah, they only scored 13 the week before that.

24:55Shannon Sharpe:Why you over there bumping your guns, Ocho? The Steelers beat the Bengals. 30-27. Ocho, you another one. Can't say foot or ball. Steelers defensive end Derek Harmon forced a game-sealing strip sack fumble on Joe Burrow to win the game. Here's Burrow after the game.

25:20Shannon Sharpe:And they tried to cheat, too. Who that, Joe? The Bengals. They tried to cheat.

25:27Joe Johnson:Why we tried to cheat?

25:29Shannon Sharpe:Because Warren broke that damn 8 or 7 yarder. They call it damn holding. It was holding Joe? Man, that man wasn't no holding, man. DK wasn't holding that man, Ocho.

25:39Joe Johnson:How you think he even got that far? How you think he ran to 7 yards? It was holding. Ship. This, holding.

25:49Shannon Sharpe:Got to take ownership. of themselves. What does it take? Guys got to take ownership of their roles. Got to take ownership of themselves. And, you know, just be smart situational football players. Hmm.

26:07Joe Johnson:What happened? Did I miss something, Joe Ocho? Hey, he said, be smart situational football players. And he understands that. I wish he would have addressed the mistake at the end of the game. Yes. To say, obviously that is one of the reasons why when we had opportunity to have points i think we wait hold on it's one of those plays when your field goal range your field goal range actually tie the game if i'm not mistaken you know yeah and the fumble that play and and and lose it it's happened countless times before it's not the first time yeah it's not the first time so um i'm not sure who is addressing you know directly again most of the time when joe burrow speaks, he speaks in cryptic format.

26:48Joe Johnson:So you have to piece together what he's trying to say. Listen, we let a game get away from us. I know we have a lot of Steeler fans that are probably in the chat. Steeler fans, I salute you all. I enjoy the back and forth, the banter today, the talking trash. You know what? I love it. Outside of that, the game is over until we meet again. So now I love y 'all. I love y 'all for now until we meet again. So congrats on that win.

27:12Shannon Sharpe:If that worm didn't stick his hand up there and trip Jaylen Warren. He should have scored a touchdown. He got walked down on the 87 yarder and then he fumbled. He would clear. There wasn't nobody doing. And he just stumbled. He relaxed. He relaxed. He seen it clear in front of him. He relaxed and I think he lost his footing. Joe got blown. He was blown on that long run when dude walked him down. Oh, he got blown. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That monkey jumped on his back, weighted his ass down. I'm saying real talk. Y 'all think that was holding on DK? I thought him and old boy were locked up, but I didn't think it was like, come on, man.

27:51Shannon Sharpe:How was he going to get to that damn tackle? Hey, Joe, he would have got there if he wasn't being held, Joe. He wasn't going to get there. DK just grown here. DK just manhandled. Had them clamps on him. Yeah. Like I put them hands on Ocho when that, you know what I'm saying? Like when you check all the change out of his pocket, Joe.

28:07Joe Johnson:Hey, see what I mean? See what I mean, Joe? I thought we was on the same page. Now here you go about putting your hands on me. See, I told you. I can't trust nobody on the show. My bad, old Joe.

28:20Shannon Sharpe:My bad. I got a little too emotional. It's cool. I said my bad.

28:24Joe Johnson:You showing your true color, Joe.

28:26Shannon Sharpe:I said my bad. I got a little too caught up in it. You know what I mean?

28:29Joe Johnson:Just chill. Okay. But listen, Joe. Listen. The Steelers won the game today. You know? Joe Burrow had a good game. He was 28 for 37. Three TDs. Damn, man. We ran the ball okay. Chase Brown had 61. Uno had 9 for 98. T. Higgins had a crazy catch. Hey, Joe, sitting on the ground with that thing. Yeah, I seen it. It was nice. Sitting on the ground with that thing. It was nice. Gusecki caught a nice touchdown. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was dope. Hey, Darnell Washington. Y 'all didn't want to tackle him, Ocho.

29:04Shannon Sharpe:On that little out ride that he caught, y 'all didn't want to tackle him.

29:07Joe Johnson:It went up the sideline. Hey, Darnell Washington. Hey, stop doing my players like that, man. man. Every year, man, you keep doing this every time we play y 'all, man. Yeah.

29:17Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all, y 'all, y 'all, y 'all want to get.

29:19Joe Johnson:Have some sportsmanship.

29:22Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Ocho, y 'all got to get Aaron Rodgers' credit now because he was willing to deal in that first half. He was moving good in that pocket today. Yeah. I don't know what last week was about, but this week, that boy wasn't playing, Ocho. He was getting that ball out of there. Hey, he was cursing his players out.

29:37Joe Johnson:You saw that clip?

29:38Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Hey, he's like, man, this sorry sucker can't catch or something like that.

29:44Joe Johnson:But it was funny, boy. He was frustrated.

29:47Shannon Sharpe:Wilson needed to get some stick-em on his glove or something.

29:50Joe Johnson:Oh, that's who that was that dropped that ball? 14. Hey, he was hot, boy.

29:54Shannon Sharpe:The only thing is, I will say this. Don't talk about know your assignments. Joe, you had an opportunity to potentially win the game or send the game to overtime. The ball was in your hand. You got script sack. This is not the first time that this has happened. I don't like the throwing of the blame to my know the assignment Did you know your assignment that you need to hold on to the ball? Don't don't do that. Don't do that What we do is that we hold ourselves accountable and in that situation ain't nobody here What you saying about know your assignment everybody got to do X Y and Z all they hear people here is that you're trying to throw blame on somebody else to why you lost.

30:33Shannon Sharpe:And they saw at the end of the ball game, as Ochoa said, you was a potentially field goal range, or you could have went down and scored because there were 44 seconds on the clock. You had more than enough time to get that ball into the end zone or kick a game-time field goal. You got sacked. You lost the ball. They got it back.

30:52Joe Johnson:Hey, matter of fact, what about with that strip set? You know what? He wouldn't do that, though. He wouldn't call out. He wouldn't call out his lineman. So I'm not sure who he's addressing.

31:02Shannon Sharpe:I think he's kind of scrambling outside the pocket.

31:07Joe Johnson:To the left. Yeah. I mean, you know you can feel that pressure. Once you feel that pressure, they get you off your spot. I mean, you get antsy with that ball.

31:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. That's my biggest pet peeve. At the end of the game, it's easy to say this or that, but don't nobody hear that because don't nobody know who you're talking to. All they know is that the last time the Bengals had the ball, the ball was in Joe Burrow hands. That's where we want it. And somehow the Steelers ended up with him. So either he threw a pick or he fumbled, which in either case, he has to do a better job. Sacks are going to happen, but you got to do a better job of protecting the football. Same thing with a runner. You got to protect the football. And he did not do a good enough job of protecting the football in that situation.

31:57Shannon Sharpe:You're right, Ocho. 28-37, 283, three touchdowns, got marred one play. One play changed the whole completion of the game. He did a great job holding on to the ball all day long. But when they really needed him, like I said, it doesn't matter how great your offense is. Can you go down there and get the game-time field goal, the game-winning field goal, or the game-winning touchdown? That's how you measure offense. Defensively, can you stop? You saw the Broncos come up with a big-time stop when they absolutely had to have it. What good is all them sacks they got and all them pants are tanned and a fanger and all those guys up front if you can't get no stop?

32:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you're right. You're right. Rodgers. Rodgers tied Ben Roethlisberger for the fifth most quarterback wins in history. Jalen Warren was told it. He had 127 yards. I'm just trying to figure out how to make – Joe, I'm just saying – What did he see, Ocho? He just stumbled. Rob Markman, that man posted at least 180 yards. Rob Markman, maybe 200. Rob Markman, yeah, maybe 200. You right, I don't know what... I'm telling you, I think he relaxed because he seen it with nobody in front of him and he felt, man, I'm just going to walk this thing in and trip.

33:12Joe Johnson:Rob Markman, hey, either them spaghetti legs or seeing all that space and your mind going faster than your legs going, and you lose yourself a little bit. That's the only thing I can think of.

33:26Shannon Sharpe:Rob Markman - He had just, well, Ocho, he had just made that 87 yard run too, and they called it back. Rob Markman - Oh, his leg was gone, boy. Rob Markman - Yeah, it probably played a huge part in why he tripped. Rob Markman - I was like, damn. Rob Markman - And then came, and guess what? And came right back and got another long run, Ocho. Rob Markman - Yeah. Rob Markman - And Joe, you told me your defense was like that. And they giving up 80 yard runs, and then turn around and give up a 50 yard to back Right to back?

33:50Joe Johnson:Hold on, hold on. Timeout, timeout, timeout. Okay, I'm listening. Our defense is like that. I couldn't tell. Hold on. Right now, statistically, I mean, we still ranked at the top of the league right now defensively.

34:01Shannon Sharpe:You hear me? It don't matter. Y 'all gave up 30 points. We was talking about last week how old and how bad Aaron Rodgers looked. How did he look today against that vaunted defense?

34:12Joe Johnson:What have we always seen from Aaron Rodgers? We've seen him have bad games, and then we've seen him show flashes of his old self. As long as he showed that flashes against y 'all, I'm good. Huh? As long as he showed the flashes against y 'all. Hey, don't worry about it. Hey, this is going to be short-lived because we two and one just like your Broncos. Huh? Hey, what's your Ravens record? Two and one. Oh, okay. Well, I'm just saying we all in the same boat.

34:38Shannon Sharpe:No, we're not in the same boat, are we, Joe? Hey, keep me out of it, bro. Joe Boat got a whole minute. That made me know you. Why do you have to bring me into this? Hey, Joe, you see?

34:47Joe Johnson:I ain't even say nothing, Joe. He trying to get me to jump on top of your head, Joe. Damn.

34:51Shannon Sharpe:But, hey, Ocho, the man just talking about he going to put hands on you. Now you side with it? He did just say that, huh? Yeah. When I put his hands on Ocho. I'm like, well, damn. Ocho, don't let that man come in between us, bro. No, Joe, no.

35:04Joe Johnson:Joe, you talking about you want to put hands on me, Joe. You right. You and them cowgirls. Ocho, I said some things out of anger, Ocho.

35:12Shannon Sharpe:I said some things out of anger. Out of anger. Ain't nothing to be angry about. I ain't mean it. Well, just chill out. Just relax. This is what Unk want. He want me and you feuding against each other, bro. Whoa! Yeah. How Unk get brought into this? Because Unk team wins. Y 'all lose. Now Unk get this. See what I'm saying? See what I'm saying? Now we got to hear this all day or night. Come on, man.

35:29Joe Johnson:Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

35:31Shannon Sharpe:Chad, y 'all see how they bring me into stuff? Hi, bro. Y 'all see how they bring me into stuff? I was getting ready to move on. Don't worry about it. Joe switched up on it. Ocho jumped on me. I just reminded Ocho. Ocho, you switching up on me. Joe the one that just said five minutes ago he gonna put hands on you. Remind me how I put hands on Ocho. Hey, hey, hey.

35:53Joe Johnson:He said he was angry, Uncle. He said he was angry. You know, we gotta get him a little anger management class. Hey.

35:59Shannon Sharpe:Name the people that'll tell you the truth. Drunk, kids, and angry people. Those are the ones that generally tell the truth. Hey, Uncle, so he probably do mean that, didn't he, Uncle? Yeah! Absolutely, he mean it.

36:10Joe Johnson:Hey, I gotta watch my six. I gotta watch my six, Uncle. I gotta watch my six.

36:19Shannon Sharpe:As you just watched, my Broncos, I'm 2-0 on the evening, 2-0. My Broncos, what a comeback. The Rams came out hot. 16-0 lead, but in the second half, the Broncos got the ball, scored A. Both times, went for two, got it. 16 points to tie it up, and then in the fourth quarter, Bo Nix did what he does. I know everybody's going to be talking about, it looked like the Rams flair intercepted the ball, Ocho. Is that a no call? Is that a PI? Is it an interception? What should the call have been? They cheated.

36:52Joe Johnson:Listen, I'm a receiver. I'm a receiver. And even I know that's not pass interference. Now, I can see if the DB was able to interfere with the player and impede what he's trying to do, but he didn't. Feeling to have a hand on somebody is not pass interference. That was a great play by the DB. There's another call also in the Ravens game that was called that shouldn't have been a pass interference as well on Brother Wiggins. Was it Wiggins?

37:20Shannon Sharpe:Yes, yes, yes.

37:22Joe Johnson:So he had him armed but had him hooked. Man, I'm not sure. I don't know what the referee is looking at, man. I'm not sure what they do when they're in their meetings. But, man, those are some bad calls. Those are two bad calls. They was bad, Osho.

37:34Shannon Sharpe:That was bad. That was a pick. If it was pass interference, it was offensive pass interference because he kind of grabbed the DB a little bit. The DB picked it. I'm like, damn, I'm sitting there watching on the couch How come they can't see that From a replay? I didn't see no P.I., bro I think the thing is, the receiver did a great job Of selling it, because as he was jerking The guy got with one hand He was flailing with the other In the NBA, they said They fine guys for flopping That was a damn flop They don't fine guys in the NFL, Joe

38:09Joe Johnson:And this is the bad thing This is the bad thing about that call, right? That could have changed the way the game was going in general because that should have been Rams ball. The fact that we have instant replay and the refs and no call came from New York or wherever they watched the replay from and say that was the interception and it wasn't pass interference, it says a lot about the game.

38:27Shannon Sharpe:Well, you remember they tried to replay and to go back and replay, review pass interference call. It didn't really go over well. They really didn't change a whole lot of calls, so they kind of did away with it. I thought the receiver did a great job of selling it. He made it seem like he was being held when actually he was holding. And he had his arm in a good spot because the back judge couldn't see it. The back judge can't see because he had his hand here, his back was to him, and he flares with the left arm. And it's like, oh, yeah, he had to do something. And I didn't think, look, it was a bull jive call.

39:01Shannon Sharpe:I tweeted. It was a bull jive call, but I take it because I needed sweepstakes. I needed sweepstakes today. I needed both my teams to win. And I needed my team to win in dramatic fashion because it hurts more when they – if we didn't win out as the Broncos to win by 20 points, that wouldn't have hurt as bad. Right, right. I mean, it's the mere fact of how we won both games and how your team's lost. Ocho, I told you, Joe Burrow did what again? Put the ball on the turf. Right, right. When it mattered most, when it mattered most. Listen, hey, listen. You do realize, Ocho, in the last eight minutes of the ball game in the fourth quarter, you know Joe Burrow is 1-34 in the regular season?

39:35Joe Johnson:Yeah, 1-34. Okay. When trailing. Yeah, when trailing. I know. I know. It's understandable. But listen, we started off 2-0. We let one get away from us. We let one slip away from us. Well, we going to get to that game later. We going to get to that game later.

39:46Shannon Sharpe:You thought y 'all was going to go 3-0? Just like Joe thought they was going to go all the way to Brazil. They going to win that game and fly back happy. Ocho. Yeah, what's up, Joe? We might have to jump his ass, Ocho. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Joe. You're doing too much, Turbo. The show ain't weak. Just got started five minutes. Joe, I mean, the Broncos won. I told you we were going to be – look, we laid a dud Sunday night, the first opening night. That's what we did. We did. We didn't play well. But I know we're more than capable of the defense. Look at the defense. Picked them off.

40:22Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Matthew Stafford, you look at the numbers, 30 of 55, 392 touchdowns, but they picked them off twice when it mattered the most. Got six out of that. Game is game-sealing interception. Sacked them four times. Pressured them numerous times. Joe, I'm just having a good time.

40:39Joe Johnson:Hey, Unc, I know you're happy. I know you're real happy, Joe. As you can see, he's gloating tonight. Rightfully so because both his teams won. But I thought the Rams, Joe, when the game started in that first half, I thought the Rams finna run away with the game. Man, what? But the way they was playing and Bo Nix and that offense really wasn't doing nothing. The Broncos defense didn't look good. Devontae Adams was doing what he wanted to do out there with number two out there on him. Yeah, yeah.

41:05Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, that's his crib tonight, Ocho.

41:07Joe Johnson:Yeah, I'm like, what in the world happened when they came out in the second half?

41:11Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. We got hot. It takes us a little while. Mile high magic. The crowd got into the game. You saw the crowd. You saw the camera started bouncing. I said, uh-oh, uh-oh. Somebody in a heap of trouble. Somebody in a heap of trouble. Bo Nix is 20-25. He has seven fourth-quarter comebacks, number one. Nine game-winning drives, number one. 20 touchdowns when trailing by one score, number one. 12 fourth quarter touchdowns tied for third. 13 touchdowns on third or fourth down that's fourth. Five touchdowns on third down in the fourth quarter that's tied for number one. That's what we do in Denver. It's magic.

41:48Shannon Sharpe:Do you believe in magic?

41:50Joe Johnson:Yeah. That defense saved you tonight. That defense saved you.

41:54Shannon Sharpe:I mean Al Michaels had a famous saying in the 1980 Olympics. I know you was just a pup Joe. You don't remember nothing like this. When we beat the Russians in Lake Placid He asked, do you believe in miracles? Yes. Yeah, yeah. That's what it was tonight. It was a miracle. Do you believe in magic, Joe? Yes.

42:13Joe Johnson:Hey, you got to chill. Hey, Joe, he feeling good. Oh, man, he got to.

42:17Shannon Sharpe:He just, he doing way.

42:19Joe Johnson:Hey, we going to let you celebrate.

42:21Shannon Sharpe:You hear me? We going to let you celebrate. Nah, nah, nah. Hey, man, you need to act like you've been here before, man. Why you acting like this? I've been here. Y 'all have been right where y 'all are, losing.

42:32Joe Johnson:It's all good.

42:33Shannon Sharpe:It's all good. I mean, what did you expect? I mean, the Broncos, I know y 'all was over there. I know you're like, yeah, Ocho. I know y 'all probably texted, Ocho, we got him now. Ocho texted back, yeah, we got him, Joe. I know y 'all did that. I know you did it. I know you did.

42:50Joe Johnson:I'm not like that. I'm not like that. I'm like that. I was just enjoying the game. I was enjoying the game.

42:55Shannon Sharpe:I was enjoying the game, too.

42:57Joe Johnson:I bet you wasn't enjoying it more than I was. Damn. I mean, actually, in the first half, I was. In the first half, I was. I thought they were going to run away with it. But Bo Nix made some of the plays that he needed to. Played well offensively. Cortland Sutton had some really good catches. Yeah. Hey, Jalen Waddle, we got to work on them drops, young boy.

43:15Shannon Sharpe:For sure.

43:16Joe Johnson:We got to work on them drops. I know you had one hell of a catch, you know, in the back of the end zone, but there's some other plays you could have had. You know, you could have got Jiggy with it. Outside of that, hey, that defense, man. Is it Mufanga? Is that how you say it? Hufanga. Hufanga, hey. Boy, salute the young bull, boy.

43:35Shannon Sharpe:You see how he passed that off and picked that back to the flag?

43:39Joe Johnson:And you know what? I understand why Matt Stafford threw that because he thought he went with the tight end. He wasn't supposed to be there. Yeah, he wasn't supposed to be there. Man, that was a great, great, great play. That was a great play. Great play.

43:51Shannon Sharpe:So what you think about it? You like the game, Joe? That was a good game, wasn't it? Chill, Joe, chill. It was a good game. Listen, I thought in the second half when Denver kind of settled in, You know, they made some huge plays defensively, Unc and Ocho. And I don't know what it is, bro. It just seemed like the Rams, I don't know if they got tied in the second half, but they ain't had that same unph. I like the little back and forth in the fourth quarter. You know, I like Stafford. He threw the pick. He ain't let that bother me. Come right back and throw a damn touchdown. You know what I mean?

44:21Shannon Sharpe:So I thought it was a good shootout, especially toward the end. Good game. You know, had my attention the whole time. But, damn, if you the Rams, you shoot yourself in the foot, bro. You got to be pissed about this one, Ocho. 16-0 at half, and you blow that? Yeah. But I think the thing was is that they hurt themselves with the penalties getting backed up. You're going to kick field goals enough. Somebody's going to bite you. They're going to get you. Oh, yeah. They're going to get you. Absolutely. Because guess what? You kick three field goals. You get a touchdown in one of them. We might have a different game.

44:55Shannon Sharpe:We might be going to overtime. We don't know. Maybe you're lining up. Now you're kicking the game-winning field goal to walk it off. Yeah. But you left points, especially on the road. On the road, points are at a premium. You cannot kick field goals. Field goal gets you beat. And that's what happened to the Rams. They kicked too many field goals. Like you said, guys, they were going up and down the field in the first half. But they couldn't. Matthew Stafford, he missed Devontae Adams twice. Devontae ran an out and up. Sertan slipped. Overshot him. That's got to be a touchdown. That's got to be a touchdown.

45:30Shannon Sharpe:You can't miss opportunities like that because you don't know they're fleeting. You don't know if and when you'll get those back in that game. But this was, look, the Broncos, they showed me something tonight because I was like, damn, y 'all going to go out like this? Y 'all going to let Ocho and Joe clown me like this?

45:48Joe Johnson:Matter of fact, listen, if the Broncos lost, I wasn't even going to say nothing. I wasn't going to say nothing. You couldn't say nothing because your team stunk. No, no. Wait, whoa, whoa. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. We didn't stink. We didn't stink. We lost by three. Don't do that.

46:02Shannon Sharpe:I told you, Stonk, because I keep telling you, oh, that defense. We got a defense. Y 'all gave up 30 points to a team that could barely get three. That could barely get seven points last week. They got 30.

46:12Joe Johnson:This is a division game. This is what happens when you play a division opponent. You know each other very well. Huh? Hey, hold on. Oh, wait, hold on. We on the wrong game. We talking about the Broncos right now.

46:23Shannon Sharpe:Oh, my bad. My bad. Oh, the Broncos. That's what we do. We win. I'm used to this.

46:27Joe Johnson:Oh, you're used to this? Yep. Oh, you popping it tonight. Okay. Hey, keep that same energy, my boy. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

46:35Shannon Sharpe:Now look at it. Are you threatening me? Oh, my goodness. I'm not threatening you. I'm just saying y 'all win one game. You acting like y 'all won the Super Bowl. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, Joe, it's week three. I'm with Ocho on this. I'm with Ocho on this. You doing just too damn much tonight. It's just too much. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Joe, your team and Ocho team didn't do enough. If I'm doing too much, y 'all didn't do enough. Okay. How about that? Hey, okay. So maybe if I take it down a notch, y 'all would have picked it up a notch. We all could have been celebrating. We all could have been sitting around the campfire on this La Portia.

47:07Shannon Sharpe:But no, only I get to drink. I got to drink by myself tonight. Now you don't. I got one. I tell you what. I know you've been drinking early. You've been drinking. You've been drinking by myself. Chill, chill, chill, chill. Hey, Joe.

47:20Joe Johnson:I mean, listen, he's sitting on that high horse right now. The Broncos 2-1. You hear me? They 2-1. Hey, Gunn, guess what? You know what the Bengals are? They 2-1-2. Yeah. Huh? What the Cowboys are? All this hoop and the holler.

47:34Shannon Sharpe:You know who the Cowboys are. What, we 2-1-2? Yeah. God damn. And it ain't looking good. Hold on, Ocho. Ocho, what you all damn for? The season just started. No, no, no. I'm just saying. No, no, no, no. It's just game three. It's just three games. Damn. We lost to a hell of a team today. I ain't even say nothing. Yes, you did. No, I'm talking about something else. Well, you and Uncle have me crash out on here tonight. I'm going to try to be cool, baby. What you crashing out for? Yeah, because y 'all ain't going to act right. Y 'all ain't going to act right.

48:07Shannon Sharpe:I already knew it. Oh, man. Come on, man. Come on, Joe. I mean, come on, Joe. I mean, me and my homeboy, we've been talking about this. We've been planning this for the longest, man. He ain't bothering nobody, Joe. And who over there helping you? Jordan over there helping you, man. Come on, man. Come on, Jordan. Don't put Jordan in this. Come on, man. I'm just happy with little time. Hey,

48:31Joe Johnson:you fit. Listen, you know what? Rightfully so. You can pop it tonight. You hear me? You can pop it tonight. My team lost. Joe's team lost. Hey, enjoy your little win, though. It's only week three.

48:44Shannon Sharpe:You see what I'm saying, Joe? You see what I'm saying, Chad? Now, it's a little win. Now, when they won last week, it was a big win. I get a win.

48:51Joe Johnson:It's little. Hey, matter of fact, we'll see what y 'all do next week against San Francisco. Let's see you pop it in. Huh? Hold on.

49:00Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all make it seem like San Francisco unbeatable.

49:05Joe Johnson:Man, McCaffrey. McCaffrey gonna fit and run all through y 'all, man.

49:08Shannon Sharpe:Please. Hey, same thing make you laugh, make you cry, fella. All right? You better be careful over there now. Nah, you were laughing all last week. Remember y 'all beat Washington? Yeah. You were laughing all last week. I wasn't laughing. I took the win. I took it. I took the win. Okay, we'll take the win. I'll take it weird too. Hey Joe, we wasn't doing all this, huh? Nah, I mean, you know. We wasn't doing all this. You know it's short, Leah. Hold on, hold on just a second. Just a second. This man got way too much going on. Look, look. Oh my God. See what I'm saying? Oh yeah.

52:38Shannon Sharpe:Defeated the Panthers 21-18. Deshaun Watson gets a second win. And the Browns are now 2-1. Tied for the division lead. Deshaun Watson, last two games, 40 of 60. 382, four touchdowns, no interception. First time the Browns have a winning record since 2023. Deshaun Watson is the first quarterback since Baker Mayfield. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's your, hold on. Hold on. They did something. Are we not?

53:11Shannon Sharpe:Deshaun Watson is the first quarterback since Baker Mayfield in weeks 14 and 15 of 2018 to lead season, in 2018 season, to lead a game-winning TD drives in the fourth quarter of consecutive games. Here's Deshaun feeding off the Browns fans' energy today in the win over the Panthers.

53:32Joe Johnson:And it's great. You know, I just wanted to finish the job for him. So, yeah, it was the one moment I got a little teary-eyed, you know, just feeling that energy because, you know, I put so much work to get back here, you know, to be in this moment here. to be able to show that I can finish these drives, finish these games, and get Ws for the city and this organization. This is what all the hard work and all the beliefs, the prayers, everything that I put myself through the last 22 months to be able to stand in front of the crowd and on that field to finish the job. I want to keep improving and keep trying to get better each every day, each week, and we got a big one Thursday.

54:09Joe Johnson:What I told you was going to happen, huh? Yeah. What I told you was going to happen. He going to go, That first home game, Joe, coming off that win, that crowd was going crazy. They're going to go crazy. There was one thing. They might have booed you when you got hurt, but you want them booed to turn into cheers? Win some games and watch what happened. Give them some of the cheers. Watch what happened. Man, they were cheering, let's go Dushon. Let's go Dushon. The whole stadium. What you talking about? I understand why he was crying. And not only on top of that, they won the game from a team that scored 50 and 39 in back-to-back weeks.

54:46Joe Johnson:Wait, 50, 59?

54:47Shannon Sharpe:They scored 37 and 34 in back-to-back weeks.

54:53Joe Johnson:They are 37 and 34. Then you come, they come into Cleveland. And listen, Bryce Young might have had him a day. He had an interception. But Deshaun Watson played well. 15 for 32, TD 144. Junkins had 70. that goddamn Harold Fanny Jr., boy, I salute you, young boy, but you the real deal. And Deshaun does what? He gets another W. So how you think the people of Cleveland feel? How you think those fans feel? They gonna keep cheering? Exactly. Hey, winning cures everything, Joe. Oh, yeah. It cures everything, no matter what's going on in life.

55:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I'm with you. You give them something to cheer about, okay, Ocho, they gonna rally around. Not only that, I didn't think Deshaun was, he played great tonight. I don't think he had any turnovers, which was obviously great. But for the most part, they defense, bro. They defense was stingy tonight against a Carolina team who had been putting up at least, what, about 32? 30 a game. 35, yeah. They basically gave up half of what they only scored half of what they normally score. Yeah, I think they only had like three in the first half. So I was surprised that the Browns locked in defensively like that, that they were able to stop that high-power offense the way Young had been playing.

56:05Okay, Ocho, but man, get Deshaun credit, bro.

56:08Shannon Sharpe:No turnovers. He helped. He helped pull this win through. Hey, I'm happy for him, bro. I ain't gonna lie to you, because I can understand the pressure that's on him, and to be able to go out and win in front of those fans. And like you said, he got teary-eyed. Ocho, you said they was chanting his name. What? The whole stadium. I can only imagine.

56:29Joe Johnson:Let's go, dude, Sean. That's why he was crying. It had to be. You know what that feel like? with everything you've been through, all the stuff he's had to endure, especially with... Joe, though you know what it's like for your own home crowd to boo you? Yeah. Man, they got the hurt, huh?

56:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And then, and then, and then, those boos turn to cheers. Yeah. Hey,

56:53Joe Johnson:hey, I know Deshaun confidence out the roof right now, boy. As it should be. Continue to ride that wave, boy. Continue to ride that wave.

56:59Shannon Sharpe:They probably won't give it to him, but he should be the front runner for comeback player of the year. Comeback player of the year, yeah. They're not going to give it to him. It's still early. It's still early. You got to keep playing well. All they need to, hey, to come back 22 months, they went by, what, they won two games? They went by five, six games. He should be good.

57:18Joe Johnson:Hey, hey, you know what? They might win more than that if you look at the schedule, though. They got Pittsburgh coming up. That's going to be a tough game. That's a division game. Very tough. It's always like that. After that, they got the Jets. After the Jets. Hey, but the Jets, the Jets hadn't looked bad this year. Ocho. At all. At all. They played a good one today. A good one today, too. Yes. Again. Yeah.

57:42Shannon Sharpe:The Jets did not look bad. But like you said, Joe, I think the thing is, Deshaun only had 144 yards, passing yards, two touchdowns. But the no turnovers. Yep. Yeah. No turnovers. They ran the ball 30 for a buck, 32. Control the clock. Let's... Let's see some of the stats, what's going on.

58:09Shannon Sharpe:It was a close game, stats. Carolina had 24 first downs. They had 17. They had 100 more yards. 4-15 on third down. 5-15. Carolina was 0-3 on third down. The Browns were 2-3. The Browns 12 penalties for 84 yards. that'll get you beat. Both teams had a turnover, but Deshaun didn't turn it over. Yeah. Except, no, so that's the way they're going to have to play. Don't turn the ball over. You see the first game, they put the ball in harm's way, they lost. He's done a better job of taking care of the football the last two games. They won. That's the way they're going to have to give themselves a chance to win.

58:53Shannon Sharpe:They don't have an offense that's going to be able to go up and down the field because I don't think they have that kind of arsenal on the offensive side of the football. But keep it a close game. We don't turn it over. We make you shoot yourself in the foot. Give us a chance to win the game late in the ball game, and I like our chances. As long as they don't allow teams to run away and hide from them early in the game, what you're in, Joe? I think they got a great chance. I don't know how many games they're going to win. I'm not saying they're a playoff team, but I think they're a solid football team, especially defensively.

59:24Joe Johnson:Yeah, and you know what? Nat, as you just mentioned it, too, because they're so good defensively, I see them like the Broncos in a sense, you know, from a defense perspective. Even though Miles Garrett is going, they're really, really good because they were in the top five in defensive categories last year, almost in every statistic. Yeah. If Deshaun can play well, especially now that he's riding high with that confidence and they can continue to score points, he can continue to facilitate the ball to his receivers, especially Howard Fanny during that tight end. and Junkin can stay healthy and run the ball well, and you just don't turn the ball over.

1:00:01Joe Johnson:Don't put the ball in harm's way. They can win a lot of games. And if they don't win a lot of games, a lot of games can be close, and they can allow that defense to carry the rest of the way.

1:00:12Shannon Sharpe:AFC North, Browns 2-1, Steelers 2-1, Bengals 2-1.

1:00:19Joe Johnson:Why you didn't call our name off first?

1:00:25Shannon Sharpe:And the Ravens. Hey, but I ain't going to lie, though. Watching this game, the Broncos got lucky, Uncle Ocho, because... Why you going back to the Broncos? We already talked about them. I meant to say the Browns. I meant to say the Browns. Oh, okay. The Browns got lucky. Because think about this. Deshaun, he didn't have no turnovers, but he had two passes that should have been picked out. I don't know if y 'all seen. He had one that went right through buddy hands. That's probably why he played defense, because he can't catch, because it went right through his damn hands. And then he hit another dude.

1:00:57Shannon Sharpe:He jumped the route. He just couldn't catch it. But outside of that, I thought he played good. When you don't have turnovers, I don't care what sport you play, bro. You got a good chance of winning. And that's what he done. He played the position well. He kept his teams out of harm's way. And they was able to pull the game off. I thought he had some big throws. He had some big plays that he made with his legs and with his arm, you know, to keep the Browns afloat.

1:01:26Shannon Sharpe:They play Thursday night. It's a division battle, AFC North battle. Browns versus the Steelers. Who we liking that? You leaning one way or another? What are you playing at? Who, Joe?

1:01:45Shannon Sharpe:The Commanders defeated the Seahawks 33-31. Who saw the Commanders beating the defending champs who had won 12 straight games without Jaden Daniels? Marcus Mariota had himself a game, 19-31, 183, three touchdowns. And quarterbacks and a quarterback run to seal the game. Sam Darnathor, costly pick six late in the fourth quarter. JSN, 10 for a buck, 28, two touchdowns. Ocho, Joe, how was the commanders able to beat a team that had won 12 straight games? How were they able to pull it off with a backup quarterback? Right.

1:02:22Joe Johnson:Hey, Marcus Mariota. That's how they were able to do it. How were they able to do it? No turnovers. McLaurin, he was 6 '6 for 77. But Mariota was 19 for 31. Unc, he had three TDs. And the most important stat, no turnovers. Yep. No interceptions. And then, obviously, he played well. Hell, Sam Darnold went crazy today, Unc, even though he had two interceptions. You know, JSN did what JSN does. We're used to seeing that. There's really nothing else we can say about him.

1:02:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. He is, dude, is unbelievable. He cook it. Yeah. I thought, you know, Seattle had more yards. Uncle Ocho, four touchdown passes from Donald. But Washington won the moments that mattered. You know what I mean? Mariota stepped in for Daniels. I thought the defense obviously played pretty good. They had a pick six. And I thought Mariota, you know, he used his legs down the stretch, bro, to kind of shut the door on this thing. Yeah. I know if you mark as Mariota, bro, to be able to step in and play like this, it definitely has to feel good. Definitely has to feel good. Hey, how long Jaden down?

1:03:34Shannon Sharpe:I think it's week to week. It all depends on how much pain he can tolerate it. Right. I dislocated mine. I was out a month. Damn. And the thing is that I had to get used to that jarring because, oh, man. and then you can't, I mean, because at first you're not going to be, you talking about painful? Boy, that thing, no anger. Hey, I had elbow surgery. I know what you mean. Yeah, I had elbow surgery, Ocho.

1:04:00Joe Johnson:Yeah, how you got that?

1:04:02Shannon Sharpe:I had some chip. Bone chips. I fell on the floor. Ah! You burst that bursar, didn't you? I fixed, I played the whole game, the first quarter, Ocho, now I felt at the whole game. I'm like, damn, it's so we playing in New York. I'll never forget against the Knicks. I'm playing here for the Hawks. And I fell, but I finished the game. My arm was sore. We get on the plane. I get home. I go to sleep. I wake up the next day. My arm was stuck. It was stuck in this position. I couldn't extend it out or nothing. So I swear to God, I went to the, I drove to the arena and I remember talking to the trainer.

1:04:40Shannon Sharpe:I'm like, look, bro, my arm stuck. He thought I would line. He tried to push it out and they couldn't move. Right then, I went down to, what's my dude in Alabama who be doing the elbow surgeries? James Andrews. Yeah, I went down to Andrews same day. He got me in there, got me on up out. I had like four or five chip bones that was lodged in my socket. The bone spurs. Yeah, yeah, they were lodged in the socket from when I fell. And yeah, he had to get them up out of there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I done been under that knife before. I mean, the thing is, Ocho, it's his non-throwing arm. Right. But the thing is, can you protect yourself?

1:05:19Shannon Sharpe:Because the first rule of thumb is what you want to do when you get tackled. You want to protect yourself. You want to brace. Sometimes you want to brace, yep. And Jaden got that little small frame, bro. Yeah. That small frame, I think it's going to work against him to some degree, Ocho. Yeah, he can get out of harm's way when he's back there in that pocket, but, man, when he get tackled, it seems like, man.

1:05:39Joe Johnson:Hey, the good thing about it is anybody on that D-line, when they do hit him, when they do sack him, you're not allowed to put all your weight on him no more. Yeah, you ain't got to, Ojo. That might save him a little bit outside of that, but ain't no telling. I hope he come back soon. I hope he come back soon because if Mariota continue to put on, you know, mean demonstrations like this.

1:06:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. What you saying? Nah, what you saying? What you saying, Ojo? Huh? Nah, you ain't saying what I think you're saying.

1:06:10Joe Johnson:Nah, I'm just saying if he got the hot hand, you know, I ain't saying there's going to be no Wally Pippa or nothing like that, but I'm just.

1:06:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, if Drew Locke had the hot hand, hell, they got him on about it.

1:06:21Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, but you know Sam Donald already got that big bag, though, so it's different. Yeah, I'm not counting on Mario to play like this game in and game out.

1:06:40Shannon Sharpe:But he can buy you time for a couple games.

1:06:43Joe Johnson:He going to steer the ship now. You hear me?

1:06:46Shannon Sharpe:I just think the thing is that when Jayden gets back, he needs to understand. Look, it was a freak accident. Like you said, Ocho, the right guard steps back, steps on his foot. But his instinct says, let me brace myself. And make a play. Yeah.

1:07:02Joe Johnson:I don't understand how it came out so easy.

1:07:06Shannon Sharpe:Bones, like collarbones and elbows, it don't take a whole lot of pressure. He just put his hand down. That's like, come on now. Think about you falling on your arm. That's your whole weight. That's your body weight on that arm. You got to do some push-ups, man. There you go, these push-ups. Nah, for real, man. For real, y 'all know that, man. Come on. Because you got to think, little freak accident, little freak falls like that, that's going to happen pretty frequently.

1:07:35Joe Johnson:Yeah.

1:07:35Shannon Sharpe:We talking football, Arca Ocho Hill. We ain't talking about ballerina.

1:07:39Joe Johnson:Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, the body should be able to withstand that.

1:07:42Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, so he going to have moments where he going to hit the deck. Yeah, if this was back in the day, boy, the way them quarterbacks' collarbones was snapping back in the day. Oh, dog. Boy, the quarterbacks wouldn't stand a chance if them big boys were putting their weight on. They're too valuable now. They're the face of the league. They've turned it into the face of the league. The quarterbacks are too valuable. They're not going to let you hit them quarterbacks like that now. Absolutely not.

1:08:07Joe Johnson:Hey, matter of fact, the quarterbacks today, they probably wouldn't play. They'd be hurt. Ah, man. The way they used to throw them quarterbacks down. What? Hey, remember that hit on – what was that that slammed Terry Brash on his head, man? Turkey Jones.

1:08:27Shannon Sharpe:Charles Martin did what you call him he just grabbed him who was it Jim McMahon Jim McMahon threw a pass he was just standing there Charles Martin boom ducked him on the shoulder there wasn't no penalty yeah yeah but I'm just saying guys wouldn't do that now yeah oh they suspended I think they're suspending him for a game or two

1:08:52Joe Johnson:and that's funny I could just imagine like LT playing in this era with today's quarterbacks?

1:08:59Shannon Sharpe:No. But there was no situation you couldn't land on the quarterback or you couldn't hit it. I mean, you put your helmet dead in his back.

1:09:10Joe Johnson:And I think that's the difference. If you had explained today's game and the difference between today's game and the game back then, the game back then, during Unc's era, during my era, Joe, the era before me, the era before that, The game was built on intimidation.

1:09:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:09:25Joe Johnson:Yes. It was built on intimidation. How can I intimidate my opponent? Most of the time from the defensive end. Because they could do whatever.

1:09:35Shannon Sharpe:The quickest way is knock your damn quarterback out the game.

1:09:41Shannon Sharpe:Hey, once you cut the head off the snake, you know what that means. Knock your ass smooth out. JSN with 10 catches, a buck 28, two touchdowns. Ocho. Yo. Boy, that Joe got about 30, about 30, about 30, 33 catches right now, Ocho. Already? Hey, that dude real. We in week three. I know. He is eating. Do you hear me? Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

1:10:09Joe Johnson:They use him in so many different ways, Joe, man. Like, golly, man. Man be all over the place, boy.

1:10:16Shannon Sharpe:Hey, JSN don't give a damn who y 'all got back there at the quarterback.

1:10:20Joe Johnson:Hey, when JSN come out the huddle, I bet the defense be like, you know, like where's Waldo?

1:10:26Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:10:27Joe Johnson:You got to find him. You got to find where he at.

1:10:31Shannon Sharpe:Hey, think about it. Okay, Ocho, what make him so special though? His ability to run around Joe and never break free. Everything looks the same. Yeah. Joe Ocho, he has 27 catches, 405 yards, and six touchdowns.

1:10:47Joe Johnson:this man got 400 yards already and we in week three yup

1:10:54Joe Johnson:man what the

1:10:56Shannon Sharpe:yup man on the pace with about 2200 yards

1:11:00Joe Johnson:man that's crazy bro hey Joe he's special though Joe he more fast and quick you know he twitchy with it too you can't bump him you can't double him they move him all over the place and the fact that he is a master route runner. Master route runner.

1:11:21Shannon Sharpe:Hey, why you can't double him though?

1:11:25Joe Johnson:You can't because they move him all over the place. You can't double him.

1:11:30Shannon Sharpe:Because to double somebody, Joe, basically on every play, your guys have to be locked in because I'm going to move him around. I'm not going to leave him stationary. I'm not going to leave him out wide. I'm going to put him in the slot. I'm going to put him in the backfield. I'm going to put him at left. I'm going to move him. I'm going to stack him. I'm going to bunch him. I'm going to do a lot of different things. And if your guy's one guy, he'll be running Scott free.

1:11:51Joe Johnson:Yep. You mess up. It's a wrap. Hey, they got it lucky today, Joe. You think so?

1:11:59Shannon Sharpe:Who did?

1:12:00Joe Johnson:No, I'm just saying today's receivers, man. Hey. Oh, yeah. I ain't moved no damn well. Boy, I'm on the outside. Joe, on the outside left or the outside to the right. That's it. Damn.

1:12:14Shannon Sharpe:Now, these guys, these defenses are advanced. Offense has got to become more advanced also. So you got to move guys around. You can't be afraid. And guys like, you ain't see no wide receiver line up in no damn backfield. Uh-uh. They line him up in the backfield. They'll slip him up through, run him through the A gap and all. Because you think he's going to lead up the block, and the next thing you know, he's running the seven route. He's behind you. Mm-hmm. but everything looks the exact same with him. He's running a route. The subtleties in which he used the head movement, the body movement, but he's still running full speed.

1:12:54Shannon Sharpe:He don't break stride.

1:12:56Joe Johnson:Well, he be using them eyes too, boy. Using them eyes.

1:13:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, look, it all depends on who you like, if you like him or Chase, but they right there. They right there.

1:13:07Joe Johnson:Hey, two completely different type of receivers altogether. Two different playing styles, but still the cream of the crop when it comes to the receivers in the league. It's all in what you like.

1:13:22Ocho, Joe, 18 carries, 44 yards.

1:13:28Shannon Sharpe:Are they regretting letting Kenneth Walker III go? Yeah. Yeah, man, listen. The way Kenneth Walker III over there, what he's doing with the Chiefs, Uncle Ocho and you mean to tell me the Seahawks let that go bro when I think he complimented Sam Donald that passing game and that run game that mix man for you to get rid of him and you basically getting nothing from your running back right now yeah I think yeah

1:13:52Joe Johnson:but you gotta understand why they let him go Uncle Joe chat you know we gotta understand this business and how it goes you're coming off a Super Bowl you're coming off a Super Bowl that you won you know basically on your legs so after that you know you going to the dough you know after the After the game, knock, knock. You know who they are? This kid is Walker. I want to talk about a contract.

1:14:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:14:16Joe Johnson:You saw what I did in the Super Bowl? You know how they feel upstairs when it comes to this business. Well, listen, you're not a tier one running back. You're not Christian McCaffrey. You're not Saquon Barkley. You know, you're not Jameer Gibbs. You know, you're not B. John Robinson. We feel we can replace your production and find somebody else that can do exactly what you did.

1:14:35Shannon Sharpe:Hold on. They say that to the Super Bowl MVP? Yeah, boy.

1:14:39Joe Johnson:What you talking about? Yeah. I'm telling you, that's how they think. Joe, you got to be, Joe, man, them first four I named, boy, them dudes special, boy. Kenneth Walker, he's good. He's a good running back. But it's still, it's a tear in everything that we do.

1:14:57Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, it's kudos to Kenneth Walker for getting picked up by the Chiefs. Because think about what he's doing for that offense and what he's doing for Pat McHugh over there. He's definitely added a dimension they didn't have. He's added a dimension to the Chiefs that they haven't had in a very, very long time. Oh, my God. Like, it looks so easy for Pat Mahomes out there. It ain't even funny, bro.

1:15:18Joe Johnson:Matter of fact, I'm glad you said that, Joe. Because they got Kenneth Walker, Mahomes ain't got to be Superman all the time.

1:15:26Shannon Sharpe:There you go.

1:15:27Joe Johnson:Huh? There you go. Man, he getting that, toting that thing, man. But he nice. He playing really well. he went to the right offense that's perfectly fit for him in his playing style and running style

1:15:40Shannon Sharpe:i'm perfect he definitely went to the right offense uh you bought a sofa you didn't have to assemble a suit someone measured just for you and now you're taking a guy's trip that actually matters you've upgraded a few things in life so why are you still running with rough nicotine pouches on plus nicotine pouches with nico silk mesh no corners no rough edges just the softest pouch on the planet you've evolved and this is what's next on plus nicotine pouches not all varieties available in all geographies warning this product contains nicotine nicotine is an addictive chemical this is the story of the one as a shipping manager he's running the dock stocking supplies and making sure every order goes out on time and granger helps him stay prepared From shipping supplies to PPE to hand tools, he counts on Grainger to keep products moving and trucks rolling.
