BEST OF NFL Week 4 Part 1: A. J. Brown's SELFISH Issues, Micah’s Return, more!

20:38I don't want to go too much into it. But a 40-point tie.

20:44Shannon Sharpe:I mean, I'm trying to think. Have I ever tied? No, I've never tied a game, so I don't know how I would feel. I just know. Look, it's kind of like playing cards. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? It's like when you get a push. I didn't sit down at the blackjack table to push. I sat down to win. So I guess it's like pushing. You know what I'm saying? I didn't lose no money, but I didn't win money. I didn't sit down there to say, okay, yeah, push. No, bro, I'm trying to win something. But I guess in this situation, I don't know how to feel. I've never been in this situation before. Have you ever had a tie game in your career?

21:22Absolutely not. Absolutely not. But listen, if I played for the Cowboys, if I played for the Packers, I would feel good. You didn't lose, huh? Yeah, I'd feel good I didn't lose. I'd be upset we didn't win the game, but we have some great things we have to build off of. Defensively, we need to work Offensively, they could take the day off Offense, y 'all would take Monday and Tuesday off Defense, we'll see y 'all here in the film room Monday night Matter of fact, even on Tuesday On your off day Tuesday, bring your ass in here again Yeah, they, um

21:54Shannon Sharpe:Whew But, uh, that game did some numbers Oh yeah I can imagine, this is probably going to be the highest rated Sunday night game They've had in quite some time Maybe about 28, 29 million Yeah Yeah. Got Ryan. Got Ryan. It's the Cowboys. It's a close game. Yeah. It was back and forth in the fourth quarter. It goes into overtime. So, yeah, it peaked. I'll agree with you, Ocho. I'm saying 28. Yeah. Probably. I like it. But the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys, they needed, what, 70 minutes, and they still couldn't determine the winner. They have a tie. 40-40. Jordan Love was 31 of 43, 337, and three touchdowns, no interceptions.

22:37Shannon Sharpe:Dak Preps got 31 of 43, 19, three touchdowns, no interceptions. I mean, you look at it, 500 yards for the – almost 500 yards of offense for the Packers. Yeah. A little over 400 for the Cowboys, but they played to a 40-40 tie and onward and upward. Mm-hmm.

26:26Hey, Portlandia fans.

26:28Shannon Sharpe:Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here. You know us, or rather, you know them. Tony and Candace, Nina and Lance, Spike, and yes, the chicken. We've played a lot of iconic characters over the years, but today we're showing up as ourselves to tell you about Podlandia, AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast. Each week, we'll revisit an episode of Portlandia from the very beginning, breaking down the sketches, exploring the backstories of our most iconic characters, revisiting the Portland locations you know and love, and opening up about our creative process. How did any of this get made? Why do we think that was a good idea?

27:01We're ready to talk about it. And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.

27:15Shannon Sharpe:Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words, but a song, a melody. Well, I thought he was going to write. I thought you were all going to write a song. I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia A-O Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey! Go ahead, touchdown pass with less than two minutes remaining to send the Rams to a 20-27, 27-20 win over the Colts at SoFi. The Colts made so many mistakes. Ocho one play before the go-ahead touchdown the Colts only had 10 men on the field then they had a holding penalty negated a 58 or 53 yard touchdown run by Jonathan Taylor and also they had a 76 yard touchdown uh uh reception that turned into a touchback and Aidy Mitchell fumbled the ball as he crossed the goal line so look it's no consolation yeah but you know if I'm in them looking at a game like bro we gave up a touchdown with 10 players on the field we had a holding penalty and they get touchdown we had another touchdown bro the colts are closer better than we think yeah i mean that's that's the only way i look at it ojo the coast are better than we thought wait did you see that that 53-yard run by jonathan taylor they got called back man boy buddy is nice boy yeah he is the real deal we didn't talk about him last year ocho because saquon and derrick henry yeah They was out of this world.

28:43Shannon Sharpe:But if you go back and look at his numbers, he's a pro bowler. He's been an all pro. There's a reason why.

28:57Shannon Sharpe:Matthew Stafford was 29 of 41, 375, three touchdowns, zero picks. Hey, roll off them Puga Nakua numbers real quick. Apuka had 13 catches for a buck 70, a touchdown on 15 targets. Tutu had one for 88 on two targets. Devontae Adams, four for 56, a touchdown on six targets. I mean. 13 for 170. Mm-hmm. They won the game. Mm-hmm. A.J. Brown, one for seven yards. They said, look. We won the game. Puka had 13 for 170. Now, at the end of the day, what did Philly and the Rams both do? Win.

29:54Shannon Sharpe:I get it. You preach it to the choir. I absolutely 1 ,000 % understand A.J.'s frustration. But I'm just telling you, you're not going to convince the – because the fans want to win. They're not concerned about A.J. Brown's stats. You know that, I know that. And the team's not concerned. Yeah, shit. All right. They're not. Yeah, you're right. Hey, hey, hey, Gilly. Get out of there, man. Gilly was cutting up. The Colts, Puka had$13 for a buck, 70 further leading his lead NFL league in both categories. Hey, he's going to mess around. Hey, how many catches he got now? 40, 42. 42. I think that's right.

30:39Shannon Sharpe:He might. He must write and go get 150 160. Yeah. How many is it? How many got 42 right? Yeah. Yeah, something like that. Uh, I'm going to touch down the title score today. He became the second player in NFL history to have 40 receptions for 500 yards in his team's first four games. Oh, no, that's crazy. Do you hear what you just said? Hmm? 40 reception info games. Mm-hmm. My God.

31:13Shannon Sharpe:Bro, all they did is do what they did. You remember when Cooper Cup had that historic season? Yeah. Insert Puka to Kua. Kua, exactly. Yeah, same place, same everything. That's crazy. And he has somebody on the other side that can open it up because remember when they brought Odell in there? Yeah. Odell would still make you pay if you sing with him. Devontae can make you pay. He made him pay last week. He made him pay the week before that. And they made sure this game, okay, Devontae going crazy right now. Let's get our young bull back where he's supposed to be. It's funny how that works. You see how they can make a constant effort to get who they want the ball?

32:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And I think the thing is, Ochoa, is that when we start talking about all the receivers, we leave Puka out of the equation. Puka McDukua is in the mix. Oh, yeah, he is. Now, I'm not saying I'm taking him over Jetta or Chase, but there ain't a whole lot of other receivers I'm taking in front of him because he's physical. Yeah. He does it. See, I like guys to do nasty work, Ochoa. Everybody want to catch the goal ball, Ochoa. Everybody want to catch the post and catch the nine route. But what about the guy that's going to catch that under? What about the guy that's going to catch that three steps slant?

32:34Shannon Sharpe:What about the guy that's going to catch that bubble screen or that jailbreak? That's going to get tattooed. Yeah, he do it all, man. Hey, that we can run the jet suite with.

32:48Shannon Sharpe:Hey, y 'all better start giving Puka his credit. Hey, I know he's not conventional. He don't look like the guys that we think are the best. Right. He in the comments. But, hey, he done earned his stripes now. He came in as a rookie and did what he did, and he backed it up. And he's backing it up again. Yeah. And they're going to have to back the truck up.

33:12Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yes. Oh, Joe, the first game of the day, the Steelers beat the Minnesota Vikings over in Ireland by the score of 24-21. The Steelers' defense put together its best showing of the season, collected six sacks, ten tackles for loss against Carson Wentz with the third interception. TJ Watt became one of seven players with at least 100 sacks and eight career interceptions. The other six are in the Hall of Fame. LT, Richard Dent, Chris Dolman, rest his soul, Jason Taylors, Pep, Julius Peppers, and Ricky Jack. That's some very, very elite company that Mr. Watt finds himself in. Absolutely. Boy, you see Aaron Rodgers and goddamn DK today?

34:03I did. Oh, it's funny. I got, hey, boy, DK, hey, that goddamn skinny pulse, and he threw that thing right off the ear of the back of. Yep. And that safety took a bad angle. Man, DK say, man, stop playing with me, man. I'm going to catch you in the end zone, homie. I'm going to catch. listen, they look really good today. It was a good game. But the Steelers look very good today. And I think there's only one quarterback that could have made the Steelers look the way they look today based on the throws that he threw today. And that was Aaron Rodgers. Boy, Aaron Rodgers was out there scrambling, huh?

34:42He took all.

34:42Shannon Sharpe:18 or 22 for 200 yards on a touchdown and no interceptions. He played a clean game. He did. They ran the ball 29 times. I do question, why would you go for it on fourth down instead of kicking the field goal? but other than that, I thought they played really well. Justin Jetta, 10 catches for$1.26 on 11 targets. Addison, 4 for$114 on 8 targets. Bro, Addison need his butt kicked. Did you see that linebacker went and got him? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was tired. That's a linebacker, Ocho. He just got back, huh? I don't give a... He just got back. Unless he was tied up, had his legs tied in the basement.

35:22Shannon Sharpe:ain't no linebacker supposed to want a wide receiver down. You do understand. Listen, boy, Addison ain't nothing but 4-4. These linebackers, they run 4-4-4-5, so they run about the same. 4-4 ain't catching 4-4. Hey, when that monkey jump on your back in the middle of the game, where you're not as fresh as you are when it starts, that monkey, hey, that monkey heavy. Ocho, that man, it wasn't no angle. He went and got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, that lactic acid bill up now. Ain't nothing going to build up. Hey, you got to be Usain Bolt to come get me with a lead like that. You ain't come to get me.

36:00Shannon Sharpe:As a wide receiver and that's a linebacker? Ocho, DK, the Steelers ended Sunday, averaging the fewest air yards per attempt, but they lead the league in yards after the catch. In the early second quarter, Rodgers hit DK on a slant. DK took a truck, one final defender, getting into the end zone, an 80-yard touchdown. What did DK have? DK had five for Buck 26, one touchdown on five targets, 80 yards. Gainwell, six for 35, but Gainwell had 19 carries, 99 yards, and two touchdowns. So they had 29 rush attempts, 131 yards, and two touchdowns. Yeah, Wentz, 30 for 46, 352 touchdowns, two interceptions, six sacks.

36:49Shannon Sharpe:They pressured him. They hounded him all day. He was on him now. Redmond had two sacks. I mean, considering they had all those sacks. No, I'm looking at the wrong thing. Look at the wrong thing. Hebrick had one and a half. Benton had one and a half. Elliott had one. Queen had one. TJ Watt had one. Queen had three tackles for losses. Wilson had two tackles for losses. TJ Hebring had a tackle for loss. I think Ramsey left this game with an injury, didn't he? Hamstring. He pretended like he had one and got one for real. And then really got one for real.

37:38Shannon Sharpe:Steelers look good. Steelers look good. Minnesota got 15 in the... maybe could have done something if that's magnificent science. They get that ball in, maybe they have an extra 30, 40 seconds to play with and they don't have to rush. But we'll never know. But give the Steelers credit. They bowed their back. They did what they needed to do. They found a way to win this ball game. And they did by the score of 24-21 to win the first game played in Ireland. Hey, Donald. Really flying on that treadmill. I'm trying to run as fast as T-Mobile 5G home internet, Zach. Well, you better pick it up, because now T-Mobile has the fastest 5G home internet, according to Ucla Speedtest.

I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia A-O Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

42:42Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe. Yo. Game you just alluded to. Lamar Jackson leads the Ravens. Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before you even start. Before you even start. Now, what I'm going to need you to do. I don't want to hear you say foot or ball. You've been talking about the Ravens is your team. And I told you it was only there for two weeks. But you eluded and wanted to be adamant about the Ravens being your team. I need you to keep that same energy that you have for Joe Burrow when things aren't going well with Joe, especially last year. Keep that same energy for eight, for that Pompano legend with today's performance.

43:26Now I'm gonna let you go, and at any point I feel you shucking and jiving, I'm gonna interrupt, but go ahead.

43:34Shannon Sharpe:Go ahead. Keep that saying, man. Your day coming tomorrow around this time. I just want you to know your day coming. Hey, hey, listen. You're gonna be real sad if you go 0 for 2. You got one team lost today, and your other team gonna lose tomorrow. It won't be 2. It won't be 2. All right. Lamar Jackson leaves the Ravens in a 37-20 loss to the Chiefs with hamstring issues. Baltimore is now 1-3 for the first time since 2015 and two games behind the Steelers in the AFC North. Ocho, how much trouble are the Ravens and Lamar Jackson in as we currently speak? Boy, them boys in hella trouble. You hear me?

44:17They in hella trouble. They in a lot of trouble. For one, I'm not even going to talk about the injuries first. I just want to talk about the defense. They can't stop nobody. They can't stop the run. They can't stop the pass. They can't stop Nathaniel. Nothing outside of that. The good thing for the Baltimore Ravens, you're not facing the Kansas City Chiefs every week. So offensively, you're probably going to be very good against everybody else. With Spags dialed up today, pressure, pressure, pressure. We're not going to allow Lamar to sit back there and have his way. Not only that, when he does drop back, when he is in the shotgun, we're going to have a spy.

44:59Matter of fact, we're going to blitz and have a spy. Because I trust my back end to be able to handle their business and doing what they need to do. And it worked numbers. It was phenomenal. The game plan that Spag came in with defensively worked phenomenal.

45:20Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to figure out what Baltimore, look, Spags has a history. If he feels threatened, he's going to blitz you. Yeah. You get down to his territory, he's going to blitz you. Uh-huh. You know this. It seems like the Ravens, everybody knows this except the Ravens. Now, they really. They had no answer for it, huh? Ocho, it's been a while. They did not. They did not. That offensive line, Ronnie Staley went out, And so now you got a backup end at the most important position at the left tackle. Your right guard isn't playing up the snuff. And so now you're weakened in two areas. Yeah. You really couldn't get into your run game.

46:00Shannon Sharpe:Look, they had 166 yards on 17 carries. But 71 of that came when the game was out of reach. Justice Hill cracked off one. But you're able to neutralize Derrick Henry. He only had eight carries for 42 yards. Yeah. He's not that kind of back that can give you that kind of. Now, he's more like as he gets going. Now, he can pop off one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He can pop off one. But this is what you see from the Chiefs defense. Goddamn Super Bowl. We think of Saquon going to have a day. What's Fag said? Oh, no, no, no, no. If anybody's going to beat us, it ain't going to be 26. You got to beat them toward the ball.

46:39Well, hell, if you're coming into a game like today, what's the first thing you say? Well, we taking two people out. we taking two we knocking two birds with one stone we gonna spy Lamar Jackson on pass downs and blitz at the same time and anything with Derrick Henry uh uh we got to see you we got to have that you won't be breaking off nothing hey man and boy we're laying that wood out there today what?

47:05Shannon Sharpe:If you go back and look at how teams are beating the Chiefs in the postseason throw the ball. First time they lost with Patrick Mahomes as their quarterback, what did Tom Brady do? Go back and look at Tom Brady numbers. Yeah. You go back and look at Joe Burrow, they threw the ball. Yeah. You go back and look at Tampa in the Super Bowl, they threw the ball. Yeah. You've got to be able to throw the ball because Spaggs, you've got to take something away. Yeah. What he wants to take away, he wants to make you one-dimensional. So that way he can just focus on stopping the pass. Right. Let you run it, now he can't focus on what he needs to focus on.

47:39Shannon Sharpe:Your quarterback has to be up to par, and he has to beat you throwing the football. and you can't turn it over. Can't turn it over. You got to protect the ball against Spags if you want to beat it. Lamar was 14-21, 47-1, touchdown, one interceptions. He fumbled one, got a little hit from the back. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I need the same energy you have for Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow ain't played. I'm not. No, no, no. When Joe, when we lose, you have all this energy and Joe should have did this and Joe can't turn the ball over and Joe can't do that.

48:22I need you to have the same energy you have for Joe for Lamar. OK, OK, then I did a Lamar. That's my dog. Right. Did he take himself out the game today or was he hurt? He was hamstring. injury. It was reported that he has a hamstring injury. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, I need, I need you to be very critical of your team. That's your team, right? That's one of my teams. Yes. I'm trying to make sure I'm, I'm the energy. The energy is not adding up based on the way you were talking yesterday. Okay.

48:52Shannon Sharpe:Hello. Did you, hello? Did you expect the Ravens to beat Kansas city in kansas city oh so oh is that what we doing is that what we do i'm just asking so so we saying that the ravens can't they can't win on the road is that what you're telling me yeah they can are you making excuses no hello the chiefs are one and three huh the chiefs are one and three and the ravens and the ravens are one and six now against the chiefs hold on hold on let me finish line let me finish let me cook let me cook jamar jackson yes it's one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and he's correct yes yes i expect lamar jackson and that defense that once was feared at one point to go in there and be able to beat the goddamn cheese yes i do they got lamar jackson and they got derrick henry i expect it think about it so last year they had lamar they had lamar jackson and when he was the mvp and the defense was better than that yeah and baltimore and Kansas City came into their building in the AFC Championship game, what happened?

49:55Shannon Sharpe:Because what we have seen is that what happened today, Ocho, Lamar turned the ball over twice. Yeah, okay. You're not going to beat the Chiefs. You heard what you just said? I need you to say that. I need you to say it. You can say it. We're both breaking down the game. You can say it. No, no, no. People want me to let you talk, so I was trying to let you talk. Hold on. I need you to do eight like you do Joe. You'd be real hyped. You'd be real enthusiastic. You'd be real passionate about the reason we lost because Joe turned the ball over. He needs to do more. No, well, you lost for two, the same reason.

50:32Shannon Sharpe:The same reason the Bengals lose is the same reason the Ravens lose is because Lamar turned the ball over and the defense sucked. Okay, I just wanted to hear it out your mouth. But you know, I'm not breaking news. Excuse me, let me interrupt your normally scheduled program and break this news. Do-do-do-do! And you want me to give you an Amber alert. The Baltimore Ravens defense isn't very good. Yeah. We haven't seen Patrick Mahomes look like this in a very long time. All season. All season. I don't know if we've seen him look like 25 or 37, 274 touchdowns. When was the last time we saw him throw for four touchdowns?

51:09Shannon Sharpe:We haven't seen this Patrick Mahomes in an extremely long time. And he looked very, very comfortable. They ran the ball. they did a worthy. Pacheco ran hard. Kareem Hunt came in. He got some big time games. Hold on. Talk about Taekwon now. Hey, let me tell y 'all something. I don't know if y 'all noticed this, but if you want to have a good game, y 'all come on and talk to Uncle Joel Nightcap. Everybody that comes on the show, for some reason, they go crazy. Melissa Jefferson. They go crazy. Taekwon. Rashawn Gary. Going crazy. Henley. Hey. I'm just saying. I tell you. Hey, matter of fact, all the Ravens fans out there, man, make sure y 'all check on butter.

51:55Make sure butter's straight. I mean, Ocho, I mean, the Chiefs hadn't scored 35.

52:01Shannon Sharpe:When was the last time the Chiefs scored 35 points? You probably got to go all the way back to 23. I don't think they scored 30. Hold on. Speaking of 30 and 35 points, last year when the Chiefs were playing games, the games they're losing this year, those are the games that they won. They lose in the close games. They lose in all the close games. This is the first time the Chiefs have looked like the Chiefs of O in a very long time. Very long time, yes. Very long time. Because they were all in one-score game. Remember Ocho, one-score game. A field goal. They win by one. They win by two. They win by three.

52:35Shannon Sharpe:They win by four. They were all these one-score games. This is the first time that they've won by, I mean, a comfortable margin. Yeah.

52:46Shannon Sharpe:so the last time they scored more than 30 was against the raiders in november of 23 so almost two years damn that's what that's what the ravens defense has allowed kansas city to do right so in almost two years since they scored more than 30 they just go in there and made it look easy Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, hey, this is the funny thing, huh? I know I'm being funny about the Ravens. You know I love my Bengals, but the Ravens are going to be okay. As bad as their defense is, their identity is not their defense. Their identity is their offense. As long as you have number eight, it's no different than when we talk about the Buffalo Bills.

53:26It's no different than when we talk about the Bengals. Obviously, Joe Burrow is out. But as long as you have eight, you're going to always be in contention. I don't care if you're one and three. I don't care if you're one and four. Their team is so good Offensively And can score 30 Can score 40 Can put up 28 A game It's just you're playing You're not playing against The Kansas City Chiefs every day You're not playing against Spags or a defense like that Every single day Other teams you're going to play Aren't going to have the personnel That say We're going to blitz And have a goddamn spot That's not That's not the makeup Of other teams So that's how I know The Ravens are going to be okay But right now They're down in the dumps They're not Hey they fans so fickle huh the fan throwing jerseys all in the trash they're making fun of Lamar it's about you know Lamar's

54:11Shannon Sharpe:uh like I'm like come on man y 'all come on man let's this is what we do the very thing we that we criticize Josh Allen for yeah playing great but he had turnovers and he couldn't overcome him his defense and we blamed everybody at what point in time did we say Lamar you got to stop turning the ball over. We did this for Josh Allen for years because Josh Allen would play great. He would throw an interception in the end zone. He would follow the ball trying to do too much. Go back and look at Lamar in the games that he's lost. Especially big, big games. Look at his turnovers. Look at Kansas City in the championship.

54:53Shannon Sharpe:Look at Buffalo.

54:57Shannon Sharpe:Today, one pick, one fumble. when your defense is as inept as it is, the last thing you want to do is put them back on the field. I want them to play as little as possible. That's the thing with the Cowboys are up against. As good as the Cowboys offense is, unfortunately, you got to put your defense back on the field. And I want them to play as little as possible. So guess what happens? I turn the ball over. Joe Burrow knows about this. I turn the ball over. I got to put the team, the unit that I least want to be on the field. Right. Back on the field. Yeah. Now, I don't know what's going to happen.

55:40Shannon Sharpe:You don't? Look, I don't advocate anything. But I just think the thing is, is that I don't know what Zach Orr is calling. I don't know what's going on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is what we will not do. What? We will not blame the defensive coordinator for the woes and the struggles of the defense because them boys, they got back there, Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton, who they just paid$237 trillion. No, y 'all got to get it done. A Woese, whatever the coach called. A Woese. A Woese, whatever. Whatever the coach called. A Woese. You got to execute. Hold on. That was the Woese from the Cowboys.

56:22Shannon Sharpe:He played with Cincinnati. What is Cincinnati? That's all the men that call him first down. Because you throw the ball on him, it's a first down. That's what they call it. Hey. He's on the Ravens now, but he was with Cincinnati, wasn't he? With the Cowboys also? Yeah, yeah, yeah, on first down. Yeah, I know first down. That's his nickname you call him first down? Throw it on him. First down!

57:01Shannon Sharpe:or so Philly survives in town for 31 25 the bus cut into the Philly's 24 three lead thanks to a large part to touchdown passes of 77 and 72 yards by Baker Mayfield making the two longest plays against the Eagles defense since Vic Fangio became D coordinator Jalen Hurts had zero passing yards in the second half, becoming the first quarterback to win a game with eight or more passing attempts and zero passing yards in the second half since Panthers quarterback Jake DeLone in week 10 of the 2008 season at Oakland. He was 0 of 9 for zero yards. There's only been two quarterbacks in league history that have wins in such games since at least 1991.

57:49Yeah. We can't do this, huh? We can't do that. We can't do that. You can't. Listen, do me a favor. What? Ask Ash, how much does Devontae Smith make and how much does A.J. Brown make? Well, we know how much Devontae Smith make.

58:09Shannon Sharpe:What is it? A.J. makes$32 million. $32 million? $32 million. $32 million or$33 million. and I think Devontae makes like 27, 26, 27. Okay, you got a$33 million receiver. You got a$27 million receiver.

58:28And they combine for four catches for 36 yards a day. But you got the win. You got the win. Yep. Now, it's not even the quarterback fault. We're not even blaming it to her fault. As an offensive coordinator, as an offense, as a head coach, how can you even be okay even be okay just because you're winning the game and not having some of your best players involved do you understand what that does to players mentally I don't think fans understand I don't think fans understand the first thing fans say well we won the game yes we won the game but these players would love to contribute and help to win those said games

59:16Shannon Sharpe:yeah uh did you did we did you pull up uh aj brown's tweet the cryptic tweet oh man listen it's clear it wasn't no cryptic tweet this is what he tweeted out the game if you're not welcomed not listened to quietly withdraw don't make a scene shrug your shoulders and be on your way the man just want the man has said it over and over huh he keeps saying the same thing over and over. He had to go through it last year. He had to read his book on the sideline to keep himself calm so he doesn't get frustrated. He wears that seal in his chest so he has to conduct himself a certain way. The man wants to contribute and be productive and help the offense.

59:58Yes, we're winning the games, but I would like to help us win. You're paying me 33 goddamn million dollars for a reason. Not only am I the number one receiver, I'm the captain of the team. Allow me to feel a part of the offense. Puga Nakua caught a high 13 catches a day for 170 yards. Yeah. You mean to tell me you can't design plays or put goddamn A.J. Brown and Devontae Smith in creative positions to get them the ball?

1:00:29Shannon Sharpe:You're never going to create a scenario where the fans feel sorry for A.J. Brown as long as you're winning because everybody says they say the most important thing is the winning. I don't care about stats. I care about winning. Well, you're winning. You know they care about stats. I know they do, but I know they care about stats. We care about stats for a reason, because we go to the table. It's the only thing we have to lean on. It's the only thing we as players have to lean on. Well, listen, I deserve this amount of money because look at my production. Look at my numbers. We allow stuff like this to happen, and you don't speak out about it as a receiver because you're winning.

1:01:05When it's time to go to the table, you can't mention nothing about the wins if you don't have the production to match it. You can't say, oh, when I'm on the field, we winning. Well, where's the production? You're not helping us win. That's the game that they're going to play. The people on the outside watching that love the game, they don't understand that. I'm telling you, and it's going to happen. I guarantee you, I swear for God, I'm telling you. They're going to use this against him. We're winning, but your production doesn't match your salary. you're really not worth $32 million because we're winning without you we can win without you making that kind of money and it's going to backfire

1:01:49Shannon Sharpe:I think the thing that's frustrating to him is that so many balls sail out of bounds and he don't even have a chance to catch it that's what's frustrating at least give me a chance okay we're going to make it 50-50 that's 100 % no chance of a completion with him it's 80-20 you put the ball in play with A.J. Brown, it's 80-20. He's coming down with that. He's coming down with that. Just put it in the vicinity. Just put it in the area. I got you. He showed that last week. They had no choice but to throw. He put it in the area. What he did. Came down with it. They dodged a bullet today. They got a block punt, and Baker made a terrible, I mean, he made a horrible decision on the interception.

1:02:40Shannon Sharpe:They dodged the bullet. Give them credit. They find ways to win. Good football teams find ways to win. Bad football teams find ways to lose. Yes, sir. There's a good football team, and they're finding ways to win.

1:02:55And I get it.

1:02:57Shannon Sharpe:I get it. I get AJ's frustration. We've all been there. Well, most of us has been there. Jerry ain't never been there. Jerry don't know what it's like. Larry Fitzgerald, some of these guys don't know what it's like to go and have two catches and things like that. He had seven yards. A.J. Brown, top five receiver in the NFL today, had seven yards in a four-quarter game. Seven. That's pathetic. this ain't high school this ain't peewee I don't give a fuck if you did win you don't have your number one receiver that you paid$33 million with seven yards in a four quarter game

1:03:51It's tough. AJ Brown, hold your head, boy. Hold tight. Hold tight.

1:03:57Shannon Sharpe:You got that C on your chest for a reason. Nah, just click your account. Just make sure that money is deposited. Nah, ain't about the money. Ain't about the money. I want to help my team win. I want to be a part of the offense. Well, keep blocking.

1:04:17Shannon Sharpe:that's all I can tell it right now Ocho

1:04:24Shannon Sharpe:Ocho just maybe this week will be a situation where it was last week remember how he came on in the second half and he took the game over against the Rams maybe that rears its head this week so

1:04:47Shannon Sharpe:The Giants earned their first win of the season beating the Chargers 21-18 rookie quarterback Jackson Dart in his first career start. Completed 13 of 20 passes, 111 yards, a touchdown, no interception. But the Giants lost Malik Nabors in the second quarter to what is believed to be an ACL injury. Excuse me. Odell Beckham tweeted after the Nabors' injury. Dear NFL, I mean this with the utmost love and respect. We, the NFL, take all precautions in the world with everything else when it comes to players' health and safety. Please, please, please get rid of this turf. Thank you in advance. Love. Respect, and you know I love the Giants, but death life has taken too many talented players away from the game.

1:05:28Shannon Sharpe:I know it's not all turf's fault, but maybe it's where we've gotten all research done. This turf state is the highest quality as possible. At least we can start that discussion. Oh, Joe, we're looking at from 20 to 2025, there have been at least 16 documented ACL and Achilles injuries at MetLife Stadium. Aaron Rodgers, Achilles, Jalen Phillips, Achilles, Nick Bosa, ACL, Malik Nabors, suspected ACL. What you thinking, Ocho? Nothing. Nothing at all. I played on that same turf. I played on that same turf out there in goddamn Cincinnati. at it i played in the same turf for 11 goddamn years it ain't got nothing to do with no goddamn turf if it was grass if something's gonna pull if something's gonna pop it's gonna pop regardless of what the surface is that's below you it doesn't matter it has nothing to do i mean we got to get that out of our mind we got to get that out of our mind oh we're suffering these injuries because of the surface we're playing on no that's coming from within that's within that's the the ground The ground has nothing to do with that at all.

1:06:38I'm just being honest. It doesn't. It had no correlation at all. People get ACLs and Achilles on regular grass. It's the same thing.

1:06:48Shannon Sharpe:But are they happy with the same frequency? Oh, come on, man. So let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. It has no bearing. Well, so why have there been so many ACL and Achilles injuries in that stadium specifically? I mean, why? I mean, let's say that stadium specifically, right? Why have there been so many ACL and Achilles injuries in general? Why is it risen? Not just in MetLife, just in general. Maybe because there's a lot more of these stadiums that have this synthetic turf. No, that has nothing to do with it. Because sometimes people aren't even being touched. Some of these are non-contact injuries.

1:07:28Yeah. No, it had nothing to do with it.

1:07:32Shannon Sharpe:Well, that's what the study is. But see, you don't believe in studies and science anyway. And that's the problem. We keep worrying about science. It's science. That's why everybody getting hurt. That's why. That's the problem. We listen to these people that never played the fucking game. Oh, my bad. My bad. I'm sorry. We're listening to these people that are experts on what we're supposed to consume and put in our bodies that have never played any sport at the highest level and know what it takes to be able to play a four-quarter game in a barbaric sport where we're running to each other. 30 miles an hour but yeah eat this green stuff it's healthy for you it's gonna help you no for some reason everybody's continue to get hurt soft hitch injury this achilles quads hamstrings everything everything blowing out something has to give and we blame it on injuries i mean we blame it on turf no goddamn turf uh when y 'all played y 'all played on concrete yeah Y 'all play on concrete with carpet laid over top of it.

1:08:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. With no problems. The end of Wendell Carter's career, he tore both patella tendons. In bed. Come on, man. Look, I just think the thing is that if you know more, you should do more. And I think there's a reason why. So, in other words, so let me ask you a question. Talk to me. So, why did they kick this kickoff out? If it doesn't hurt, guys are going to get hurt anyway. so why not continue to run down there and let guys run into each other? Oh, the NFL covering their ass. Okay, don't you want to cover your ass with these injuries? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Listen to me real quick. We're trying to prevent the collisions from so far apart.

1:09:15So we're going to shrink it down, right? Because we lost the lawsuit to what, what, three generations ago?

1:09:23Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, in 2000, early 2000. Yeah, three generations. Or three eras. three errors ago we lost a billion dollar lawsuit three you know what i'm trying to say we don't want to have that have that happen again so what are we going to do we're going to take precautions anyone that that gets hurt we're going to continue to throw a flag we're going to continue to find you so you don't come back 10 years later from now trying to sue us saying well my head or this is messed up because of these circumstances that we had back then that's what the nfl is doing I think the thing is that the NFL, the product, suffers when your best players aren't on the field.

1:10:04Shannon Sharpe:There's a reason why you can't hit the quarterback below the knee. Right. Trent Green suffered the exact same injury on their very similar play, and they didn't change the rule. It wasn't until Tom Brady. Tom Brady, yes. And they call it the Brady rule. Yeah. there have been a lot of quarterbacks that got hit in the knee and got hurt yeah but it was I just think to think look I I think if if you know more you should do more um you know you don't you don't believe in science you don't go to the doctor so yeah I mean I go to the doctor why because I have he never played no sport how do you know what what how he know how to treat your body Because I can't check myself.

1:10:50Shannon Sharpe:No, but I'm saying, he don't play sports. I got to make sure I'm healthy. But why? You don't listen to no nutritionist. So why would you listen to a doctor? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Listen to me, listen to me. I don't listen to nobody that does studies and tells me what I need to put in my body to play the game of football at the highest level. Why would you listen to somebody that does studies that tell you what you should put in your body to heal your body? So why would you do that? What hold on hold on you I need better context. I need better context. Would you listen to anybody to say you need to put this medicine in your body so you can feel better So you won't be sick.

1:11:30Shannon Sharpe:So you won't have a sore throat. Why would you listen? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, my sore throat is because of the AC and I don't I don't AC I'm just asking you a simple question. Let me answer. Let me answer. Okay. I don't take medicine for one Let's start there. Okay, that's all I was saying. So you're the way to say you go to the doctor to take medicine. No, I didn't say that. I said a checkup. We got to go to the doctor. Why are you going to get checkup? Because we're old. You're not going to listen to what he says anyway, so why do you care? No, because he had to let me know if everything is okay with me.

1:12:01Shannon Sharpe:We got to get a checkup. Oh, Joe, why do you care? You're not going to listen to him. Unc, we got to get a checkup, every man. Why do you have to get a checkup when you're not gonna listen to what he says. Because we're in our 50s, Uncle, we have to. What are you talking about? You don't have to. Yeah, we do. Did your mom get checked up? Did your grandma get checked up? No, they didn't. The whole people didn't get no checkup. I'm asking you, if you're not going to listen to what the doctor says, why are you going to get checked up? Why do you even have medical? It makes sure everything is okay with me.

1:12:37Shannon Sharpe:Why? So I can know. So you just wanna know. You're not going to do anything about it. So why you want to know? Because I'm supposed to go get a checkup every six months. You don't do that? Why do you need a checkup when you're not going to listen to what the doctor says to help you feel better, make you feel better, or be healthier? Why are you going? Well, for one, this is the good thing, right? So every time I go do my checkup, there's nothing wrong with me. So really, there's nothing for the doctors told me I need to do because I always feel good. OK. So I'm good. But you're going for some reason.

1:13:11Shannon Sharpe:Because I have to do my checkup every six months. You don't have to. There is no law that says you have to go get a checkup. Where is the law? What do you mean? They said it in school. Once you hit 40, you got to get the checkup every six months. They said a lot of things in school. They said study and do your homework. You ain't listen to that. No, because I wanted to play football. I ain't kidding. I wasn't no scholar. Yeah. But then you found out, you know what? I got to study and do my homework to play football. I did. I did. I did. And yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's get big. Jackson Dart is the first quarterback since Patrick Mahomes to lead their team to an 80 plus yard drive on the first drive of their first career start.

1:13:49Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, the moment didn't look too big for him. No, absolutely not. Look, it's the first game. Look, you and I are not going to start. Hey, we're not going to get a parade going. Right. But what we will do is that we saw flashes and we saw glimpses of him in preseason. He looked good. Yeah. Like, Ocho, he looked good. And I was like, Ocho, over, under, eight weeks of rust. Right. I said, I'm going to take the under, and I'm not so sure it's going to be much longer than four or five weeks. Right. Also, you and I was talking. I said, Ocho, if it's me, I'm going to start him at home against the Chargers.

1:14:22Shannon Sharpe:Right. I'm not going to start him on the road in the Saints, in that building, that noise. I'm going to start him in my building because I know at least for the first game, the crowd is going to be on his side and they won't boo him. Yeah. But he looked good. Now, it hurts that he's not going to have his most talented player on the offensive side of football joining him. But he looked good. Very good. Very good. What did you like about what you saw from him? Listen, not only did they run the offense, right, even with Malik Nebrys going out, he still looked good. Obviously, he plays a call offensively.

1:14:59Seeing him use his legs on some of those third downs and get those first downs and being able to play off script outside of the scheme and the plays at the call is what I was most excited about. I think about the difference between him and Russell Wilson. Obviously, Russell being in there, being able to stand in the pocket, and he doesn't have that ability to be a dual threat as he once was when he was in Seattle. So having that addition of Jackson Dart, being able to come in, drop back, being in the shotgun, being able to go through his reads and not see anything there and be able to pull that thing down and take off.

1:15:34And not only he take off. Hey, boy, he can run, huh? Yeah, he can run. He got legs. Yeah, absolutely. I ain't no way fast like that. I'm not saying Lamar Jackson or nothing like that, but young bull got wheels on him.

1:15:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he can run. And I like Scattaboo running the football. Scattaboo reminds me of Peyton Hillis. He does. He does. He absolutely does. Or All-Star. Mike, All-Star. I remember All-Star from Tampa. All-Star nice, but Peyton Hillis and Skydebooth got a little bit more wiggle to him though. They got a little more wiggle to him. Yeah. Let's see here.

1:16:11Shannon Sharpe:Giants will, I mean, oh man, I thought big guy, I thought Dex, I thought Sexy Dex would go too. Oh, and he almost got it now. I said, come on Dex, you know he gonna go low. Man, get that, hey, hit him with that Heisman pose and get that arm down and get him off. We gotta get Dex to work on that stiff arm. if he got in the end zone you know that's a big man dream an interception of a pick a pick hey boy I think the stadium would have erupted if he would have if he would have got past that and hurted over that that tackle but that would have been nice boy they did a great job of getting after Herbert yes Thibodeau Burns uh abdul carter sexy dexy those guys did a great job yeah of putting pressure on it um he never really felt comfortable give them credit give them credit they got they they they got after they got out they got after justin herbert um and he finally he finally looked mortal because he had been playing out of his mind the first three games he had played out of his mind Yeah, crazy.

1:17:21Shannon Sharpe:But today, he looked like a mere mortal. And my young boy over there on the other side who's been having some struggles, Quentin Johnston. Yeah, yeah. Looking like that boy. Looking like how he's supposed to be. Now that confidence is set in, he's stringing games like this, back to back to back. And for him, it's only up from there. I just want to give him his praise because we've been down on him because his recent... He had some drops. Yeah, he struggled early. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, hey, Quinn Johnson, boy, I know you're going to see this, boy. Boy, you that boy. Keep going, boy. Keep going.

1:17:57Kenan Allen look good. Yeah. Kenan Allen, Kenan Allen. We already know what he can do. We know what he can do. So we just picking up where he left off. Hampton.

1:18:07Shannon Sharpe:Hampton had 12 for$1.28. Hey, boy, he was toting that thing. What? Mm-hmm. And can. Yeah, he was nice. He was nice. Yeah, but Scat Pack. Scat Pack go, hey, hey. He got a he get a couple hundred yard game. He got on. He and Jackson dark go on the city. Oh, yeah, absolutely Absolutely. Listen if Dodge was if Dodge was smart They'd be doing a commercial a scat pack commercial with scatterboat. It only makes sense It only makes sense. I need 3 % if that happened to scatterboat Hey Dodge, how last got a bowl scat back commercial? The Chargers have an out-line problem with your left tackle Joe Ault.

1:18:48Shannon Sharpe:Left the game early with an ankle injury, putting an already injured offensive line because he was filling in for, what's the guy? He just got the big contract. Slater, Rashawn Slater. He was filling in because he moved from right tackle to left tackle to replace Slater. Slater's out. Herbert was under siege. He was pressured on almost 48 % of his dropbacks.

1:19:13it's tough it's tough now listen he look normal because he got your offensive line now it's hard it's hard you're running for your life from your old line in there Lamar today Justin Herbert I mean man

1:19:40Shannon Sharpe:Jaguars beat the 49ers, Ocho, 26-20 with Parker Washington's punt return touchdown for takeaway. Former Niner Eric Armstead script sacked Brock Purdy with less than three minutes to play to seal the win for the Jags. Things got heated at the end of the game, after the game, Ocho, with Liam Cohen and Niner's D coordinator Robert Sala had to be held back while yelling at each other. Sala had accused Jags of stealing signs in a legal fashion. He told him, keep my name out your mouth. Yeah. They should have threw them thangs, boy. Keep my name, keep, hey, keep my name out your dentures, now. Yeah.

1:20:21Shannon Sharpe:Now, hey, don't make me run up on you. Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Liam walked up on him like, listen, man, hey, what you doing? Giving all this unsolicited advice. Yeah. Hey, man, keep my name out your mouth. Hey, he should have shoved him with the finger in his head. He should have gave him one. I bet there you go, man. I'm saying, when it comes to coaches, there's certain things that you're supposed to keep in-house, certain things you're not supposed to share. You know? I mean, how you just volunteering information that nobody knows about except coaches? You don't do that. So he had to go check him, like Nike.

1:21:03They should have threw down right there at the 50.

1:21:08Shannon Sharpe:Trevor Lawrence, 21-31, 171, one touchdown, no interceptions. ATN, 19 carries, a buck 24 and a tub, 32 rushes, 151. Ryan Thomas Jr. had five for 49. Strange, six for 45. Travis Hunter had three for 42.

1:21:30fumble, but

1:21:31Shannon Sharpe:they recovered it. Brock Purdy was 22 of 38, 309, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and was sacked once. Christian McCaffrey had 17 carries for 49 yards. Brian Robertson Jr., 5 for 21, Brock Purdy, 2 for 13, so 24 rush attempts, 83 yards. Christian McCaffrey had 6 for 92 and a touchdown on the receiving end. Tonjes had had three for 58 and a touchdown. Pierce all had an outstanding one handed catch at 4442 Cal use chick 3 for 32 turnovers killed him. You can't turn it over every time. It costs you the game. It costs you the game and it costs him the game tonight. Yep.

1:22:14Shannon Sharpe:Travis did not play at all on defense in the second half 45 total snaps tied for a season low 36 offensive snaps. So that means he had nine defensive snaps, right? They got to make up their mind, man. Ocho, let me ask you a question. They got to make up their mind, man. Ocho, you want to be, let me ask you this. If I gave you a choice, Ocho, you can be a lead at one thing or you can be the average at two things. What you choosing? I'm going to be a lead at that one thing. Because right now he's average at both.

1:22:48I don't know what he's doing. Travis Hunter is the number two pick, right? Right. But I think to me, I know he wants to play both sides of the ball. I would love for him to be number two pick at one position. Listen, I was all for him being on both sides of the ball. I know you can do it. You got the confidence to do it. But I need to see you on one side of the ball and being effective for your team, either offensively or defensively. what one or the other because as a number two pick you should be on the field every single down on offense or defense what one of the other because what they're doing is they're bringing them along slow and picking and choosing when to play them it is not showing the value it's hard to get a rhythm like that though bingo and it's not showing the value and why you picked them number two.

1:23:45Not not the way they using him.

1:23:47Shannon Sharpe:But what didn't he give up? I think he gave up four completions though. Only his nine snaps. He did.

1:24:01That's what that's one of the games I wasn't able to see. Yeah, they don't like because I be trying

1:24:09Shannon Sharpe:to watch it. Do they let you watch individual games anymore? individual games or you got a block you know

1:24:20Shannon Sharpe:she i'll be trying i'll be trying to i'm gonna get me a fire stick i got to get a setup like i got in atlanta i um i um i was i was able to see all the games yeah you know when i i don't stay home so after the one o 'clock games I go to a place called up yeah in Hollandale right and all the TVs and the goddamn Jag TV just happened to be on the Jag game happened to be on the TV all the way on the end

1:24:53Shannon Sharpe:so what but see the thing is I I can't it's hard for me to focus so right like I need to get a setup I need to get a setup like I got in Atlanta right so I got all the individual TVs Ocho right So I could just put like his, I put like six games on. Knowing that, you know, and hopefully the games that I have on, they're exciting because those, you know, you always have your games. You know, you're going to talk about the Cowboys. Yeah. You're going to talk about the Eagles. There are certain teams that you know you're going to talk about. Now you try to have a couple of games that, okay, it's interesting and they do something and we're able to talk about them.

1:25:30Yeah.

1:25:31Shannon Sharpe:Like, you know, the Jags got Travis Hunter. Jags ain't got Travis Hunter. We're probably not talking about them. Let's be real. Because we keep hoping that we see a glimpse of what we saw at CU and what we saw at Jackson State. A pick and a touchdown. They bringing him along so slow and hand-feeding him more. And actually, he regressed as far as not playing defense this game. I mean, I don't know. Because Ocho, I mean, think about it, Ocho. I don't know what he's doing. You do, Ocho, you and I know this. Man, you got to be sound in the NFL. Them guys are really, really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There are no slouches.

1:26:17Shannon Sharpe:Everybody, look, there are a lot of guys that Travis Hunter went against as a DB and went against as a wide receiver that's not in the NFL. Every guy that he goes against on Sunday is in the NFL. The real deal. Everybody. he's going against was an All-State, was an All-Conference, was a something. Got some awards some level along the way. Yeah. Listen, for me, what I don't like is I've been spoiled. I've been spoiled watching him at Colorado. I've been spoiled watching him make plays on both sides of the ball. He won the Heisman. He won number two in the draft. So now that I'm spoiled, I'm thinking okay he told teams he wants to make sure he's able to play both sides of the ball wherever he drafted the Jaguars agreed to it so what you think I'm waiting to see I'm waiting to see the exact same output plays that I saw in Colorado even though I understand it doesn't work like that you and others got spoiled thought he was just going to like it was ready it was ready.

1:27:27Shannon Sharpe:You know, some assembly is required. You know how you get toys when you was a kid? Your grandma, your granddaddy, somebody had to put this stuff together. Some assembly will be required. They, I mean, Chad, honestly, did y 'all thought they was going to just throw this man out there and he was going to do exactly what he did at Colorado? Y 'all thought he was going to do that in the NFL? I know, I know y 'all have watched the game too long to not say, oh yeah, he's going to do exactly that right out the box. Really, Chad, honestly, I mean be real let y 'all Gen Z y 'all just told me y 'all say what's on your mind tell me y 'all didn't think that What you call him Gen Z?

1:28:05Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I mean that's what they say. They say we tell you Did y 'all really think that the first game he was gonna look exactly how he looked at Colorado? Did y 'all think that really? I know I knew I'm gonna be in there like that But that now now be going we go we and we in week four. I'm expecting more volume of reps on both sides of the ball. I'm waiting to see that. Okay, let me ask you a question, though. You're expecting these volumes of reps, so you expect it. Do you want greatness or you want average? Because right now he's average at two positions. Hold on. The player he is is not average, so he's good.

1:28:45His play.

1:28:46Shannon Sharpe:Damn what he is. I'm talking about his play. So you tell me. So I'll tell you what. I'm gonna take I'm gonna take the name out the back right and you don't know anything else right and I just say that number 12 What you tell me what you when you see him on offense you see him on defense. Tell me what you thinking Of the small plays I've seen yes, he got some many and they using him, right? I'm just I'm telling you that man was not using so he was a nine snaps on defense He gave up four catches you think he got some many well shit everybody No, don't do that, Ocho. No, don't do that. I'm just telling you.

1:29:25Time out. Everybody going to catch balls.

1:29:29Shannon Sharpe:What you saying? Whoa. No, no, no, no. What are you saying? No, hold on. Wait a minute. He's the number two pick in the draft. Right, right, right. I asked you. I said you want to be average and you want to be elite. You said elite. Yeah. Remember, I'm on your side though. Remember I said I want him on one side of the ball. What I'm saying is Ocho, is that people expected that he was going to get dropped into the NFL and he was just going to pick right up where he left off. No, no, no, no. You and I both, they get mad at us because we say that's not going to happen. Well, how do you know? Because I played in the NFL.

1:30:07Shannon Sharpe:Now, how do you know it's going to happen? I played in the NFL. You didn't. Right. So I know a lot of guys, because here's the thing, Ocho. is that what you think those guys thinking? They're going to dig in even harder. Bro, I'm not going to let you beat me. I'm not going to let you D me up. Guys really be on their best. Ocho, you know when you went against Revis or you went against the top, or Aqib, or you went against the top guys. Ocho, you know you had to be on your best behavior. Yeah, absolutely. That's how they approach him. That's how they're approaching him. so now he just like it's it's it's in his mind i want to do something nobody's ever done nobody's and and and chuck mcnerrick was the last guy to be a full-time two-way player that was in the 60s he was a center and a middle linebacker they called him concrete charlie chuck mcner philadelphia eagles go look his story up Ocho I just don't know I just don't know I just don't know what people what they expect I mean give the guy some grace let him have some time but oh he oh he terrible bro it's going to take time and then it's like well Time said well he didn't practice on Tuesday Time you know they ain't let no rookie come in and not going to practice come on Time Ocho what rookie you know I've never seen a rookie that's come in and not practice at all?

1:31:41Shannon Sharpe:So when they practice on Wednesday, he gets that day off, a rookie. I've seen vets do that. Yeah. I ain't never seen a rookie do it. I haven't. Have you been around? You played 11 years. Absolutely not. And I've had some rookies. Clinton Portis, one offensive rookie of the year. Mike Crowe, one defensive rookie of the year. Outstanding. They ain't getting no day off. Right. A rookie? Yeah. I see. I've grown frustrated. I've grown frustrated because in my mind, number two pick, he's dynamic. I know what he can do offensively. I understand his skill set. How are they going to use him to maximize his potential?

1:32:37I just want more we in week four and I'm not getting what I thought I would get Even if it even if it doesn't have to be both sides of all Even just one side of the ball you and I agreed that

1:32:49Shannon Sharpe:I thought he was a better DB. I say play him at DB and put packages, but it seems to Liam Cohen on why Travis Hunter only played receiver in the second half. Personal decision that had to do with a few things we'll keep in house for now. Yeah, something ain't going right. Something ain't going right.
