In short
Best of NFL Week 9 Part 2 discussion, focusing on the Bengals’ defensive collapse in a high-scoring loss, the Seahawks’ blowout win over Washington, and Rico Dowdle emerging as Dallas’ featured back.
Guests
“Unc” (Chad Johnson) and “Ocho” (Chad Johnson’s co-host, likely former NFL player Chad Johnson speaking with a partner). They debate game decisions and player usage.
Key claims
Bengals’ defense is the recurring Achilles heel; even scoring 38 twice and having three turnovers plus a special-teams TD wasn’t enough because they allowed huge yardage/points and had zero takeaways in consecutive games. Dan Quinn is criticized for keeping Jayden Daniels in late after an apparent elbow injury. Seahawks’ success is credited to Sam Darnold’s passing (not under duress) and JSN’s route/coverage dominance, plus defenders being too hesitant to hit due to rules.
Notable examples
Bengals allowing 500+ yards and 38+ points with zero takeaways in consecutive games; Seahawks’ 38-7 win; Daniels 16/22 for 153 with 1 interception; JSN 129 yards and 6 straight 100-yard games; Rico Dowdle 25 carries, 130 yards, 2 TDs.

2:45Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, Ocho, Ocho. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Step right up. Yeah. Hey, Unc, take your time now. I know you're feeling good. I know you're feeling good. I feel Tony the Tiger. Great!
3:07Shannon Sharpe:Now, where were we? Now, I mean, I know y 'all going to put that on the defense. Whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. You stop right here. Who are you going to put it on? Please explain to me who you're going to put it on. Did y 'all have any turnovers? Okay, yeah. How many turnovers did you have? Two. Oh, it was three? Okay, okay. Let me ask you a question. Okay, we had three. Did those turnovers help or hinder your ability to win this game? Did they help or hinder? It hindered. It hindered. So let's just say for the sake of argument. Talk to me. Instead of having three turnovers, you have one, and you score a field goal or you score a touchdown.
3:49Shannon Sharpe:could this have been different? Yeah, we would have won the game. But you know, it's a game of football, Lunk. There were three turnovers. We still put ourselves in position to win the game. We were in position to win the game. And you know what happened? You know what happened? Our defense let us down again. Our defense let us down again, even with those turnovers. We were in position to win the game. The Bengals are the first team since 1960 to score 38 points in back-to-back games and lose. goddamn Joe Flacco 170 years old and threw for 470 yards and we still lost the game defense again which has always been our Achilles heel over and over and over again time and time and time again year after year after year I understand that the offense is our identity it's always been our identity even back to when I was playing we have always been an offensive team an offensive unit.
4:44But at some point, you got to compete. You got to play. You got to want to. All your money is tied up on offense. It doesn't matter.
4:53Shannon Sharpe:That's where you have to win the game. Hello? Hello? Let me ask you a question. We scored 38. Let me ask you a question. How many$20 million defensive players do you guys have? One. You got$330 million. You got two$30 million that play the same position, just opposite of each other. And you got a$50 million quarterback. So where is all your money tied up?
5:22On offense. I mean, hold on. Wait a minute. That's our identity, though. I mean, every team is like that. There's no team that's damn near even like that. Look at the Cleveland Browns. Where's all their money tied up? On the defensive end.
5:36Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Cincinnati. So guess what you're going to have to do? So guess where you have to win the games at? Offense. Thank you. We're scoring 38. This is the NFL. We scored 38 two weeks in a row. You got to score 48. Huh? You scored 42 with three turnovers. If you don't turn the ball over, how many you score, Ocho? Shoot, about a 50 ball and some change. Exactly. 50 ball wins you the ball game. But listen, check this out, right? Listen to this. Hey, chat, y 'all stop laughing, too. I know y 'all probably laughing, too. There ain't no laughing matter because I'm pissed off today. Hey, listen, we kicked off.
6:09We had a kickoff return for a TD. We had a blocked field goal. Onside kicker recovery. We had 500 yards of offense, two wide receivers, 100 plus yards, 15 points. We scored 15 points in less than a goddamn minute. 42 total points scored. 42 total points. If you were the readoff of what I just said to somebody who didn't watch the Bengals game, the first thing you're going to say, oh, well, goddamn, all that? I know y 'all won. 42 points and we still lost.
6:38Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Despite the turnovers. Despite the turnover. But this is the game of football. You want to minimize the errors as much as possible. That's why we practice. We practice to minimize the errors as much as possible. But they happen, huh? They happen. It's football. As much as you practice, you want to be as perfect as possible. But shit happens. And it happened today. Matter of fact, three of them happened. It shouldn't have been that close anyway. Because, oh boy, Edmunds picked that ball off. Y 'all got to touch that man down. That should have been a touchdown to the house.
7:10Hey, honestly, I'm numb to it. I'm numb to it. Hey, I'm so numb to it. I'm numb to it like you know how you go through something so much in life and it happens to you so much often. It's like, you know what, at this point, I don't even care no more. I don't even care no more. I care. I care to an extent, but I mean, this is back to back. The Jets? Um, the Jets? Last week? And then on top of that? And then on top of that, the Bears? Like, come on, man. And listen, the Bears ain't no joke because, hey, um, hey, um.
7:49Shannon Sharpe:They were going against the Jets last week. Yes. Talk to me real quick. Before the season started, who are the two teams I said everybody needs to watch out for this year? Bears and the Panthers. Okay. So, again, I'm not talking trash about the Bears because I already said I knew what they were going to look like. I knew what they were probably going to do. with addition to Ben Johnson as the offensive coordinator and head coach calling those plays with Caleb Williams and the talent that he has. But come on, man. Two weeks in a row, scored over 38 points and lost both games. And oh, come on, my defense.
8:20Listen, they just had a defensive meeting. They just had a players-only defensive meeting this past year. Who did? The Bengals.
8:28Shannon Sharpe:So they was talking about what costume? They was talking about the outfits that they were going to wear to the game. They ain't discussing no game plan. Man, listen, man. They talk about the Halloween party. Man, what you going as? When it comes to tackling, sometimes it's just about want to. It's about want to. It's about wanting to get the individual. Putting a hat on a pad. You're wearing pads for a reason. Put your goddamn pads on somebody. Wrap up. If you ain't going to wrap up, make sure it's clean. Keep your eyes open. Before you make contact, everybody close your eyes. Do your best Mike Singletary job as possible.
9:04Open your eyes wide open. Make the tackle. Ensure it.
9:11Shannon Sharpe:Goddamn. The Bengals scored two touchdowns in the span of 49 seconds to erase a 14-point lead. But the Bears pulled their fifth win of the season when Williams delivered a 58-yard touchdown to rookie tight end Colston Loveland with 17 seconds remaining. The Bengals are the first team in the Super Bowl era to allow 500 plus yards and 38 plus points and have zero takeaways in consecutive games. Ocho, let's take a listen to what Chase Brown had to say after this game. We just got to play complimentary football. Like we put the ball in the end zone and go up a point at the end. Finish the game like this ended like that's it.
9:52Like that's that's like that's what we need to do. Just end the game like. Make them get us the ball back. Let us go to 22 victory, and let's end the game. That's how I feel.
10:05Shannon Sharpe:If he said that, because let me tell you how we are. Go ahead. As an athlete, when you're frustrated, what you say publicly is not nearly as bad as what you say behind closed doors. Oh, absolutely not. It's bad. It's not nearly as bad as when you're in the shower or when you walk in the locker room. Hey, you saw Chase walking off the field in the tunnel saying one effing stop. But he said, I can't say too much because I don't want to do that. Yeah, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. But look, you're talking to a guy that can speak from experience. Yes, sir. Because I was on that 2000 Ravens team.
10:40Shannon Sharpe:We went five weeks and didn't score a touchdown. Let that sink in for a second, Chad. We went five weeks. Five. One, two, three, four, five. We didn't score a touchdown. Yeah. And it could have splintered the team. But at the time, myself, Rod, and Ray, we did everything together. And I said, Ray, y 'all have been outstanding. But the thing that I love about football, they don't take units to the Super Bowl. They take teams. So now what you can do is be supportive publicly. Yes. We're going to get our things fixed. we're not going to be the Minnesota Vikings of 1998. We're not going to score 35.
11:30Shannon Sharpe:That's not what we are. But we can do a better job of taking care of the football. Give y 'all, we, hey, y 'all will have to make 14 or 17 stick because we're not going to be putting up no 30s. I'm just going to tell you right now. So if you're looking for a 30-something, that ish ain't happening. So get your mind and say, hey, they're going to give us a 10-point lead and we might have to make 10 stick. Yeah. But complaining and publicly, stick together. Yeah. Stick together. I know it's frustrating. Hell, I'm frustrated because we're coming out the field and the fans booing, but they don't know I'm booing too.
12:09Shannon Sharpe:They're like, man, you hear them booing? Yeah, I hear them booing. I'm booing right along with them. Yeah. I mean, listen. Because we suck. Because we did. Yeah. I mean, honestly, offensive players have to understand you got to be careful what you say, especially, you know, as an offensive player, you got to be careful what you say because, listen, it's going to come games. We still got a long, we got a long season to go. You got to be games, Ocho. Hey, we got a long season to go, and you don't want to be making mistakes, and you have defensive players calling out the offense as well. So it can get real petty.
12:41Shannon Sharpe:Doesn't it always work out like that? When guys complain about the ball, they throw it to them, what happens, Ocho? They drop it. You drop it, yep. I mean, a thing can get real petty in that locker room. They don't need the splinter. I think Chase Brown and Jamar, you got to be careful with some of the things you say. Be supportive of your defense, even though you are losing. Some of the things you really want to say, don't say it. Keep it in your head. Just be supportive as much as possible because things are going to turn around. Maybe not for the better, but they're going to be games where the defense plays well and the offense is shit.
13:12Shannon Sharpe:You remember when y 'all went to the Super Bowl, Joe Burrow got sacked nine times at Tennessee. Yeah. Defense took the ball away. Look at what they did in Kansas City. Took the ball away. Look, now the way you guys are set up, you guys are set up. And it's hard to play like that. I told you this last year. I say, Joe knows that if I leave anything on my plate, they're going to eat it. So I've got to clean the plate. Yeah, you got to. Which means every possession, he got a damn near score. He got a damn near score. Because his defense, they don't take the ball away. They don't generate pressure.
13:51I mean, I'm looking at this game.
13:54Shannon Sharpe:I'm like, y 'all are just bad. I mean, they're just bad. Now, this nigga, oh, shoot, my bad. I'm tripping. This dude, Flacco, was 31 for 47, four TDs, and 470 yards. 470 yards at 40-something years old. T. Higgins has seven for 121 in the TD. I don't even know what Chase numbers was earlier 6 for 111 Brown had 8 for 75 Iso had 5 for 66 Hudson had 2 for 42 Noah Phan had 28 on the tub and Tinsley had 1 for 27 that got that flackle was dealing for us to play as well as we are offensively, despite the woes, despite the turnovers, you want to do everything you can to minimize those because you understand that our defense is not that good.
14:56We're not that good on any level, whether it be the back end, hell, the second level, hell, the front level for that matter. You know, no disrespect to them boys, but, I mean, it just is what it is. Offense has – Go ahead. Finish it off. I'm going to say offense, they got – as well as they played today, you just can't turn the ball over because you can't make up for it.
15:19Shannon Sharpe:Knowing what you know how poor your defense is, what's the last thing that you want to do? Turn the ball over and put your ass back out there. Because the thing about Ocho, if they're driving the field, if they're driving 75, 80 yards, what's going to happen if you give them a short field? If you can't stop them from going 75, 80, what makes you going to stop? What makes you think you can stop them from going 30? Yeah. You're not. I mean they run it man they run it hey it's the first time how long I forgot how long they said it's been a quarterback called two passes in a game that's what they doing to y 'all they throwing passes to the quarterback not one two I understand you know that's that Ben Johnson creativity that's that Ben Johnson that's what I do for y 'all because I know y 'all can't stop nothing we do nothing who would even subject their quarterback to possibly getting uh, uh, hold on.
16:20Shannon Sharpe:Remember RG3 tried to catch a pass against the Steelers? RG3 laid him out on the sideline? When he got hit, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what you do. They say, no. They ran a screen. Ocho, I get it on the goal line. You lose sight. I mean, they hand it to the guy and he tossed it to DJ Moore. DJ Moore threw a touchdown. Yeah. They ran a screen with the quarterback. You understand the point of that play is to confuse the defense. You get them going one way and you get them going another way and whoop, the quarterback always sneaks out the back end because eyes, eye discipline, eye discipline, you put your eyes in the wrong place, all of a sudden you lose the man you're supposed to have.
16:58Most of the time, when you see reverse and they go one way and then the ball coming back the other, you lose the quarterback. You lose the quarterback and where he is. That's why he was wide open like that. That's why it's called a trick play. I think it might have worked. It might have worked on any team, especially down there at that time. Let me ask you a question.
17:14Shannon Sharpe:Somebody's already responsible for the quarterback. When you run the bootleg, it's the defensive end. Or if somebody has the quarterback. Oh, he got sucked in. He done crashed down on the goddamn sweep. That ain't his responsibility. You see what happens? Look here. If I do my job and something goes awry, I did my job. because the last thing I want to do is do somebody else's job and then all of a sudden my job go attended, unattended. Who they going to blame, Ocho? Exactly. Yep. That's not your responsibility. Damn. Do your responsibility. Ocho, today y 'all gave up damn near 300 yards rushing and 300 yards passing.
18:01Hey, that wasn't necessary. We know that part. You didn't have to bring that up. We know that.
18:06Shannon Sharpe:37 for 283? Did y 'all pinch him? Did y 'all trip somebody? I'd have tripped somebody. I know, I know. And I'm upset too. Stop all that running in the hall. They got hall, they don't even get no hall pass. You didn't have a hall pass. You know you have to get a pass to be in the hall. Y 'all, they in y 'all house and then you got no hall pass. You right. They just running. Y 'all ain't tripping. Y 'all ain't pinching. Y 'all ain't do nothing. We're going to be all right though. We're going to be all right though. No, you're not. I told you this. I say by the time Joe Burrow is healthy enough to come back, Y 'all might as well leave him.
18:41Yeah.
18:42Shannon Sharpe:You might as well leave him where he is. Hey, you know we on the bye week, huh? Y 'all probably give up 40 on that one. I bet y 'all give up 40 points in the bye. Hey, that hurt, boy. Hey, watching that game today, well, that hurt. To be able to come back like that, the scored amount of points we did, the scored amount of points we did in a short time span, down 14, come back. Oh, you know what? We got this one sealed up. And here we go. Three people. Three people surrounding the rookie tight end and nobody brings them down. Because everybody tried to go for the big hit. Get him on the ground.
19:24Shannon Sharpe:Hey, the rule of thumb is Ocho live to see another day. That's all. Yeah. Live to see another day. Hey, but that's... I don't even know what to say. I mean, Tyler Beget, he completed the pass. DJ Moore completed the pass. I mean, even Cole Komet tried to throw one. I mean, how many people that – I mean, think about that, Chad, for just a second. They allow four people to attempt a pass in an NFL game. not Pop Warner, not college, not intramural in college, in an NFL game with the NFL logo, they allow tight ends and receivers to throw a pass against the Bengals. It's embarrassing, Ocho. Listen, it's embarrassing.
20:23It is. It is. There's not much I can do. I've done all I can to try to defend. You can't do nothing. I know. I haven't done all I can to try to defend it. I can't even defend it at this point. It's trash. It's trash. What we're displaying, what we're putting out there is the players aren't playing well, and it makes Zach Taylor look bad. It makes the coaches look bad because there's no way in hell. Well, did you practice all week? Well, did you do anything defensively? Offensively, they showing up every goddamn week.
20:54Shannon Sharpe:I mean, C.J. Gardner-Jawson get off his couch and come get a sack. The man, he came in and just off the couch. Sacked. Damn.

21:09I'm numb to it at this point, man. Don't be numb. Hey, listen. Last year around this time, two back-to-back losses like this, I would have been on the show in tears, man. I can't even cry no more. You should be. Hey, listen, I'm all cried out. I can't even cry no more. I can't even get back.
21:30Shannon Sharpe:Okay, Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam all cried out. I am. I am. What you know about that? Uh-uh. You ain't cried. Hey, what you know about Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam, boy? What you know about that? That's my era. Yeah. What do I know about it? What do you know about it? Hey, that's that jam, man. I mean, Ocho, the fact of the matter is, and I know, look, defensively, you had the situation, but you know your defense is porous. You can't turn the ball over. Yeah. You still turned the ball over three times. How many points did they score on those turnovers?
22:07Let's see.

25:42How many?
25:43Shannon Sharpe:Three. They only scored three points. So your defense did do something. They only held them to three points after the turnovers. Yeah. I mean, hey.
25:57Oh, yeah.
25:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, we don't count. That pick. That pick. So they had two turnovers. So we ain't going to even count that last interception. Okay. All right. Appreciate that. So we had two. But still, you don't want them. You can't. You can't. Ocho. In the red zone, they were 4-6. You were 2-4. 2-4, yeah. Damn.

What do you mean it's all good, Ocho? Our offense is better than y 'all's. Ocho, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's what we doing now? Yeah. What's our record? Our record is 7-2. What's your record? We 3-6 now. Huh? 3-6. Wow. It's all good. It ain't looking good for y 'all. I know. I know it's not. You no good. It's all good. It's all good. We'll be ready next year. Yeah. I told you. I'm going. I'm preparing for next year. I told you. I say to Bing, I say y 'all going to lose to the Jets and y 'all going to lose to the Bears.
27:54Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Are you? I just wanted to tell me. Hey, Chad, do y 'all know what happened to Brother Browning? You know Brother Browning? Yeah. What happened to him? He right there on the bench You see Flacco dealing each week though I don't care about that I don't care about the most stats This is I think Hispanic Heritage Month For the NFL I'll be giving this hat away
28:27Shannon Sharpe:See I signed it 84 H.O.F. Three time Super Bowl champ I don't nobody want that. Whoa. I guarantee you don't nobody want no Bengals merch. Yeah. If my name on it, they do. They don't want no Bengals merch. This is the thing. Hold on. Stay with me real quick. As bad as we planned, right? Yeah. As bad as we planned, defensively, however it is, whatever it may be, like that A5, that A-5. Any memorabilia, hats, jerseys, is still a great representation of that organization. Whether they winning or whether they losing. Do you know what the number one selling thing is in Cincinnati right now? Ocho. Brown paper bags.
29:14Shannon Sharpe:Nobody want to know that they're a bingo fan. They put bags over their head. That's the number one selling thing in Cincinnati. Wait a minute. No, no, no, no. No, no. Not with the offense playing as well as it is. You losing! Hey, Chad, you hear? You see how he separated? You see the difference? Hey, I don't have a choice, but it's separated. I ain't got no choice. So what did you do? So let me ask you a question. Y 'all scoring 42 points. Y 'all was 2 of 4 in the red zone. So what happened on those other two possessions? Every time we come on here, we talk about the Bengals. I say, what's the problem that we always have?
29:45What has always been our Achilles heel? It's been our defense. If we score 50, the other team scored 55. If we score 60, the other team scored 70.
29:53Shannon Sharpe:How did you get that 50, though? So let me ask you a question. when you was in the red zone, you scored 50. If you scored two touchdowns on that, now you got 60. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The other team gets paid, too. Every time you get to the goddamn red zone, don't you go score? You should have scored in the red zone. Field goal, kick it field goal. And remember, Chicago missed a field goal bad. Bad. You didn't hear me, though. Every time you get to the red zone, you know it's that much more difficult to score once you get down there. Why would it be so difficult when y 'all got high-powered offense?
30:24Shannon Sharpe:Wait a minute, wait a minute. Y 'all got Chase. Y 'all got Higgins. Wait a minute. Y 'all got Isle. Y 'all got Norfay. Y 'all got Chase Brown. Y 'all got Flacco wheeling and dealing. Why would it be so difficult to score? I'm going to tell you why. I'm going to tell you. We wheeling and dealing in the open field. When you get down in the red zone, there's not that much room. There's only so much you can do. It becomes that much more difficult to score in the red zone. You know that. Once you go inside the 20, oh, it gets tough. You understand that? I don't want to hear nothing about no labor pains.
30:51Shannon Sharpe:Okay, it's cool. Deliver me a healthy baby. I'm gonna rub your head baby and tell you everything's gonna be okay. You're doing amazing. I got this Range Rover lined up for you. You got a Birkin bag coming. Just bring me a healthy Shannon. That's all. I don't want to hear nothing about what you're talking about. It's all good. Listen, I'm like a chick in a relationship that checked out, man. I'm mentally checked out.

34:10Shannon Sharpe:Score of 38 to 14. Sam Darnold was damn near flawless, 21-24, 330 yards, four touchdowns, one interception. He was not sacked. Oh, man, that Jackson Smith and Jigba, it won't be long. It won't be long before we're talking about. Hey, if you say Chase and Jetta are 1A and 1B, he damn near 1C. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. With the way he's performing this season, he's definitely in that conversation. Can I tell you something? I just want to throw a little tidbit out there. You notice all the players, all the players that came on down to the wide receiver workshop in July, you notice they having one hell of a season.
34:52They got damn JSN cut up today. He ate for 129. Six consecutive games with 100 yards receiving.
35:00Shannon Sharpe:I think he might be the next receiver to go get 300. He can get 300 the game. If this game would have been close. Yeah. Oh, he'd had two in this game. Oh, absolutely. If the game's close. Absolutely. The Seahawks moved to 6-2. Washington Falls to 3-6. And we're going to get into the ballgame, but I got one question that I want to ask DQ, Dan Quinn. Why in the hell was Jayden Daniels in the game? You're down 38-7. Right. This is why you remove your starters, especially. You can't remove all of them. Some of your offensive linemen and some of the guys are going to have to play. But you get Jayden Daniels' ass out of there.
35:39Shannon Sharpe:He's been nicked all year. why was he in the game? So you actually think you're going to score 31 points in eight and a half minutes? Absolutely not. That was not a hip drop tackle. He was getting spun down and he tried to brace himself. And that's normally what happened. You see a lot of that happen when a guy, if you go back and remember the Heat Celtics game, Rondo tried to brace himself and he dislocated his elbow. That happens a lot. Just because someone gets injured, that doesn't mean the play was illegal. That was not a hip-drop tackle. But I just got one question. I just need to know, why in the hell was he in the game?
36:19Shannon Sharpe:Down 31 with eight minutes to go in the ballgame. That's all I need to know. But the Seahawks look damn good. That's going to be a very tough division. The Rams look good damn near every week. The 49ers look good today on the road with Matt Jones filling in again for Brock Purdy. And Seattle, with the way their defense got outfield, and Sam Donald is dealing right now, man, the Cardinals notwithstanding. But as a division, I'm like, man, they look good. That division is tough. Whoever comes out of that division, they will be battle-tested, and you don't want to play them in the playoffs. But going there, Joe, watching this game, we'll talk about Washington after we talk about Seattle.
37:01Shannon Sharpe:What did you like about what you saw from the Seahawks? Hey, listen, the Seahawks look good, huh? They look good. but they've done everything they can. And there's a reason they paid Sam Donald the way they paid him. I didn't know. Honestly, I didn't know. I was kind of skeptical. I know what Sam Donald did when he was in Minnesota last year, but also what he had, the weapons he had with Addison, you know, goddamn Justin Jefferson, I say, well, it was easy. You put anybody back there and they would look like that. But that goddamn JSN, he surprised me this year. He surprised me this year. Sam Dalton's goddamn dealing.
37:37And again, I've said it time and time again. I'm like, I'm curious. I'm thinking to myself. I'm scratching my head. I'm like, well, goddamn. What the hell is going on in Seattle? They unloaded off everybody. They let Geno Smith go. They let Tyler Lockett go. They let DK Metcalf go. A player of his caliber, a player of his talent that I see as a number one, top 10 in the NFL at that. Well, okay. Well, then I'm confused. Well, who do they got the lead on? Who do they have the lead on? And Lord have mercy, J.S.N. been cutting up since week one. I'm talking about cutting up since week one. If we were to talk about the top five receivers in the NFL today, J.S.N.'s name is probably the first one you mentioned.
38:18The first one you mentioned.
38:19Shannon Sharpe:He's playing unbelievable. Crazy work. Man, he's so quick. I mean, he's sudden. Yes. I mean, you see him catch that, he caught what we call a basic cross. Man, you see him explode out of that. I mean, he's about to get up out of there, Ocho. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, and the one Sam Darnold hit the tight. Oh, when he shook him at the line and hit, I was like, oh, my goodness. Oh, yeah. He's nice with it. And the funny thing about it. I said, man. And the funny thing about JSN, Unc, he's not the fastest in the world. He's not a Tyreek fast. No. He's not like a Jamar Chase getting the ball in his hands and he got that breakaway speed.
38:54But he is so good. He's more quick than fast. He's more quick than fast. And he's so good at the line of scrimmage. and being able to manipulate the route running and give the illusion he's doing one thing as opposed to the other, and he knows how to set everything up. He understands leverage. He understands coverage. Anytime they got one-on-one, anytime they got one-on-one, you get your silly ass up there, you play bump and run, you're going to lose every time. And he showed it. That's why Sam Donald trusts him so much. Anytime they got one-on-one, he checks up out of that. He's going straight to JSN every time.
39:26Oh, yeah.
39:28Shannon Sharpe:JSN is real deal. Now, they didn't run the ball as well as they would have liked tonight, but they got everything they wanted in the passing game. Sam Darnold was not under duress. They couldn't pressure him. So they got everything that they wanted. You saw Horton. His first two catches were for touchdowns. You saw JSN. He got a touchdown. Arroyo. I'm just trying to figure, guys, are y 'all going to tackle anybody? What's up? What's up with all this shoulder thumping? Man, put somebody on the damn ground. Everybody trying to get a big hit. And what ends up happening is that when you hit him, you carry him.
40:01Shannon Sharpe:You make him go off somebody else. Happened in your game. Yeah. Oh. The tight end in the middle of the field? Yes. Just tackle him. Hold on. You know what? And this is the problem. Let me tell you why everybody's scared to hit. Let me tell you why. Because the goddamn rules. The rules have handicapped the defensive players. They scared to actually play football like we used to play. They scared to hit people. Everything, everything is a flag. You can't hit him. You can't hit that. Oh, this is target. I mean, like it's... Wrap him up, Ocho. I feel you, Unk. I understand you. But sometimes we don't wrap up.
40:35If you hit him hard enough without wrapping up, you know what they do most of the time? Either they cough the ball up or they hit the goddamn ground. Now you got receivers. You got tight ends. They feel so comfortable catching the ball across the middle because there's no threat and there's nothing to worry about anymore. There's nothing to worry about. You got receivers across the middle, Unk. hands on the hip, one hand in the air, because you can't hit him. There's nothing to think about. When we played, you have to think about what's to come once you catch the ball in the middle. You already bracing for it.
41:05You ready for it. Now? Oh, man.
41:08Shannon Sharpe:I mean, think about how many times you've seen B. John Robinson catch a one-hand pass. Drake London had about three of them today in the Patriots game. Why? Because there are no consequences of repercussions. At all. When there were consequences of repercussions, see, that's the only way you can learn. The only way you can learn a lesson is there has to be consequences from your actions. Absolutely. Absolutely. Because without consequences, there are no lessons to be learned. Right. That being said, Washington, 3-6. They got off to a shaky start. Jaden Daniels, 16-22, 153. No touchdowns. One interceptions.
41:39Shannon Sharpe:They had 36 rush attempts, 157 yards. But you can't spot a team 28 points. 21? 28? 21? I don't know if you – see, you don't play Madden, huh? You don't play Madden. Once you score 21 points, the game is over. The game is over. Even in the NFL, we have a good defense like the Seattle Seahawks. That game was over. Once they went up 21-zip, it was a wrap. I knew at some point they were going to take their foot off the gas because it happens all the time. Coaches have some kind of goddamn pack where you're not going to run the goddamn score up. Hell, you had 28 at the half, right, if I'm not mistaken, right?
42:13Yeah, 20 at the half, and they ended the game with 38?
42:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Man, listen, they came off the pedal. They started running the ball a little more. and I mean they could have put a 50 ball on if they wanted to. Mr. McDonald could have put a 50 ball on him if he wanted to. What happens is that you get ahead and the points come so easy. Yeah. I mean they fumble the ball in the next play, you're in the end zone. In the end zone, yeah. And then you get a pick and the next thing you know, the guy goes 60 yards for a touchdown. So it's so easy. Right. It's like, well, damn. And then they just – and Washington really – they were shooting themselves in the foot.
42:51Shannon Sharpe:illegal formation or procedure. They were just doing a lot of silly, dumb stuff. And when a team is rolling like Sam Donald and the Eagles, excuse me, and the Seahawks' offense was rolling, the last thing that you want to do as the opposing offense is put your defense right back on the field. Ocho, I mean, they score a touchdown, they kick off, they pull it out, your defense right back on the field. Now, mind you, your defense just gave it up. Just gave it up. And you don't want them right back out there. Right. Turn the ball over on special teams. You turn the ball over on offense. But look, this game was a blowout from the jump.
43:30Shannon Sharpe:The only thing now, I just got to ask DQ, and I'm sure the reporters are asking him, Dan, why was Jaden Daniels in the game at that point in the game? Right. The game, for all intents and purposes, was over. Look, don't give me that it's not over until the whistle blows. You saw with Tom Brady, the score was 28-3 at the half. The score was not 38-7 with eight minutes to go. Jaden Daniels should not have been in that game. There was nothing to be game. What did you try to do, get him some cheap stats? Mm-hmm. Nah, hey, Mariota, you're up. That's what should have happened. Right. Hold on. He missed a couple of weeks.
44:08Shannon Sharpe:Did he miss last? Hold on. Did he miss last week's game, Jaden? Yeah. He missed last week's game. He just got back. Yeah. Hey, what do you think happened to him? It looked like he dislocated his elbow. Shit. Because he's going down and he's trying to brace himself. So all that weight and plus being slung down and you see, I dislocated mine. Yeah. And the hat bent like this, it bent back up the other one. It's really, really painful. It's really, really painful. I do believe he'll come back. He can come back and play this week. It's normally a two - to four-week injury. I was four. Had to play with a brace.
44:55Shannon Sharpe:This is non-throwing, so he should be fine. The question is, how much pain can he endure and can he protect himself? Right. And also, when you're getting tackled like that, I know when the hip tackle, I mean, players have to learn to be able to fall, learn how to fall with the pressure. You go with it. You don't fight against it. There's no need to brace. In that instance, just let your body go limp. Just let your body go and just be free. When you're in a relaxed state and you're not tensed up, you will be fine. There's somewhat of an art to it. There's somewhat of an art to it. It's hard for me to explain.
45:31But as someone who played very recklessly, despite my small frame and small stature, I never got hurt. I understood how to fall and how to flow with tackles, understanding the size difference and goddamn physics, for that matter. And I was like Gumby. I got hit. I got thrown around. I lost every battle. I'm trying to challenge people, but I never got injured because I understood how to fall and how to protect myself.
46:00Shannon Sharpe:The thing is, Ocho, he didn't want to get thrown on his shoulder because you've got to realize they ain't got no shoulder strength. They don't really do nothing upper body because they want fluidity. in their throwing motion. So they can't be tight up here. So you look at quarterbacks. Quarterbacks got narrow shoulders. That's why they're good at golf. Because they don't have tight. Most people work out their shoulders because they want some up up there. But that's not what a quarterback does. A quarterback, he want fluidity. Yeah, you're right. So you can't be all tight up here. That's why a quarterback, oh, he, no, no, no, no.
46:34Shannon Sharpe:Give me somebody that's shaped like a pear. that's what I want I don't want no muscle picture if you're a quarterback a pair look at quarterbacking pitchers golf when they go to celebrity golf tournaments you see who win pitchers and quarterbacks a guy like a Steph Curry basketball players they don't really be lifting all this stuff up here cause they want fluidity but most I'm shocked that they left Jaden Daniels in the game down 31 points with 8 minutes to go what do you hope the game well you know he missed last week no no no no no no no yeah hold on bro you better get him some reps in practice because you gotta realize you can't control a game right they still trying to tear his damn head off head off yeah in a game in a practice you can control it they get close you blow the whistle he got a red jersey or a black jersey on meaning he's off limits to be touched.
47:35Shannon Sharpe:Right. But in an actual game, they still going full speed, don't you? And most coaches, most coaches in that situation would have removed Jaden Daniels from the game. Yeah, absolutely. He should have been removed from the game. There was nothing. There was absolutely nothing. Nothing to gain. Except what you got. Nothing to gain. To be gained. An injury, that's what could be gained, and that's what you got. Mm-hmm. Dang. But Seattle looked good, man. Man, that's going to be, hey, with Seattle and the Rams, them quarterback, the way their quarterback's playing, and you got Puka back. Now, Puka got dinged, too.
48:10Shannon Sharpe:He got slim on his shoulder. Yeah. You see? He left. I don't know if he came back in, but he and Devontae was dealing. Devontae had, I think, another two-touchdown game today. Mm-hmm. See, that's back-to-back. They got guys that can play. Hey, Matthew Stafford's playing as good, if not better, than what he played in that Super Bowl year.
48:34Shannon Sharpe:Go to your team, the Carolina Panthers. Hey, hey, hey. Talk, talk. Rico Dowdle. Hey, give me the same energy. 130 yards, two touchdowns. A big run in the final minutes to set up Fitzgerald's last second 49-yard field goal. It's the second time this season that Fitzgerald, a rookie from Florida State, has made a game-winning field goal as time expired. Packers star tight end Tucker Craft was carted off the field. Many believe it was an ACL injury, but they'll wait to get results back tomorrow. LaFleur said it doesn't look good. It's going to be tough, but it's football. Other guys are going to have to step up.
49:14Shannon Sharpe:I was surprised that when Cuba Hubbard came back that he got more carries than Rico. Last week. Last week. Considering the stretch that Rico had put together, I don't think there's any doubt now. Now, Rico Dowdle is the number one option. What? And basically, if you're tired, tap your helmet and we'll send Chuber in. Yeah, well, listen. But other than that, you ain't bringing your ass out. They talk to Coach about it in the media. Like, what are you doing? Boy, young bull got the hot hand. Rico got the hot hand. Hubbard last week, I think Hubbard, if I'm not mistaken, had more carries and whatnot.
49:49But boom, Coach said, going forward, Rico is going to be the one that gets the bulk of the carries. He got the bulk of the carries today. What did he do? 25 carries for 130 yards and two TDs. Yeah. Stay with the person that has the hot hand. I respect Hubbard. I like Hubbard. But right now, the offense is flowing very, very smoothly through goddamn Rico Dado. You don't change it just because someone's coming back off an injury.
50:16Shannon Sharpe:Like I said, the thing is, is that the question you ask yourself, if the guy that comes in for the guy that's injured, and I know the injured guy is the starter, but if the guy that comes in is running the ball better than the starter was before he got injured, that's his job now. It ain't that complicated. I think sometimes we make it, you go back, oh, a starter can't lose his job because of injury. Yeah, the hell he can. You can lose your job if you out sick. You lose your job sick and let somebody come in and fill in for you and do a better job than what you was doing before you got sick. Hey.
50:49Shannon Sharpe:See when that person gets that job. 25 for a buck, 32 touchdowns. After what he did to the Cowboys, after what he did the week before when he went over 200, man, stop. Not playing. Get that man the ball. Absolutely. Their defense did a job. A hell of a job. Because, I mean, I mean, damn, Green Bay's offense. Jacobs had 17 for 87. They had 25 rushes, 104 yards. Jordan Love had 26 of 37, 273, no touchdowns, one interception. He was only sacked once. Bryce Young was 11 of 20, 102 yards, no touchdowns. The interception was sacked once. But Rico was the difference. Yeah. Rico was the difference. Yeah.
51:37Man. Yeah, Panthers. I told you. All we got to do sometimes, listen, it ain't going to be pretty every week. No. Sometimes you got to win games like this. Sometimes you got to win games ugly. Sometimes when you go to the corner store, you ain't got to put makeup on. You ain't got to be all dolled up. Put your bonnet on. Put your house shoes on. You know? Sometimes you got to get it ugly sometimes. This is one of them games. You get it ugly. That's why you say you keep pounding. Keep pounding. It ain't going to be pretty every week. You ain't going to throw for 300, 400. No. You know?
52:18Shannon Sharpe:Huh? You just got to win. That's it. You just got to find a way to win. You got to run through your running back, play option after that. You got good receivers, McMillan. You got Leggett. Leggett, excuse me. Hunter Winfro, Jimmy Horn. But, hey, they haven't even had a day or a game yet where they got all them boys involved, man, and where Bryce Young could just deal it like he a deal at the casino. That day is coming. That day is coming where everybody eat. You get a ball. You get a ball. You get a ball. It's coming. We didn't need that in the day, though. Give it to your bell cow. Rig it down to you.
52:58Hand a lap. You keep pounding.
53:01Shannon Sharpe:Hand a lap. Man, Joe, this does. Can you imagine what this does? You go to Green Bay and you get a win. What? With this young football team. What? Coaches in there tell us, see, when we play our type of football, we can beat anybody. We can go anywhere and beat anybody. We can play with anybody. We don't have to take a backseat to no one. At all. At all. I just, I just, I just, I just, I don't want us. I'm talking about us, but listen, I'm a huge fan of this team. I don't want us to become one dimensional. I don't want us to continuously rely on the running game. Because you know what teams are going to start doing, huh?
53:39Stopping it. They dropping that in the box. They dropping that in the box. You know what? Well, we're going to make Bryce Young beat us with his arm. Can he do it? Absolutely. Hell, he did it at Alabama. He showed flashes of being able to do it in the NFL as well. So, I mean, hey, I'm excited. I'm excited for the boys. I'm sure we got a few Panther fans in the chat. I'm sure the city is happy. They're elated. Coach, some of the pressure's off of him, especially with the way the team is playing now. Bryce Young playing very well. Shoot. He ain't on the hot seat. Ah. Let's go.
54:19Shannon Sharpe:Keep pounding. Jaguars defensive end Trayvon Walker was disqualified in the third quarter after punching Raiders offensive lineman Stone Forseth following the Raiders field goal. He punched him? Walker threw a violent punch that landed in the face mask of Stone, who was also penalized on the play. The fouls offset, but Walker was the only player kicked out. Walker had just had a surgical procedure on his wrist a month ago. Walker was penalized but not ejected for throwing a punch in a 2024 game against the Vikings. The fine was$11 ,817 for a violent act deemed unnecessary. The Jaguars won the game in overtime 30-29 after the Raiders failed to convert a two-point conversion.
55:07Shannon Sharpe:Trevor Lawrence was 23-34, 220, no touchdowns, one interception. They ran the ball 42 times for 151 yards. Geno Smith, 29-39, 284, four touchdowns, one interception. He was sacked twice. Brock Bowers, welcome back. Five catches, buck 27, three touchdowns. Aston Gentry had five catches, 47 yards, and a touchdown. And it looked like he had a guy open for the two-point conversion, but the defensive end jumped up and he batted it down. Devin White 16 tackles 8 solo Hey you know what this is the one I was able to see every game today except this one all the way out there in Vegas I'm not sure what do you call it where certain games you can't get certain games in your area I was able to get every goddamn game except this one Yeah look the Jags are 5-3 So they're still, what, two games behind Indy?
56:13Shannon Sharpe:Right. I mean, it's going to come down probably. We'll see how long CJ's out. CJ took a vicious hit. Yeah, I saw that. I saw that. And that game ended up getting concussed and didn't come back in the game. But the Jags, you know, you have to be impressed with them. But I don't know what I'm going to get with the Jags. I see one week they go play great and they beat Kansas City. and the next week they just go lay an egg. So I just don't know the consistency and what I'm going to get. Yeah, and it all starts with the quarterback too. Everything starts there. If he plays well, he has to always be even keel.
56:53He has to always be even keel. Defense, you don't know what defense is going to show up either. That's always been a problem for them as well. Letting up, some days they look like they got damn 85 bells. Some days, it don't look good.
57:11Shannon Sharpe:and in the ball game, Ocho, we have a new NFL record for Fields on the field goal. 63. 68. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The record was 66 by Justin Tucker in Detroit, and then this kid, remember, Ocho, he kicked a 70-yarder in the preseason. Willis, right? Is it Willis or Willis? No, Little. Little, okay. What's his first name? His last name is Little, but he got a big-ass leg. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Hey, do you understand? But these guys, the distance, I mean, you know, So you got the Dallas kicker, Aubrey. He got three kicks over 60 yards. Yeah, he nice. You got the guy from Jacksonville, not Jacksonville, Tampa.
57:47Shannon Sharpe:He kicked a 65-yarder earlier this year. The distance in which these guys can drill the ball now, it's incredible. Yeah, see, not only is it incredible, I think you have to understand, what people don't understand, how difficult it is to actually kick the ball. They narrowed the goalposts. Not only did they narrow the goalposts, the further out you go, the further out you go the harder it is to be accurate the harder it is to be accurate with that much power and force and kicking the ball and to be able to control it that far out and want it to go straight down the middle or hell what if you're kicking off the left hash what if you're kicking off the right hash man that's very difficult for that damn far out so I mean that's huge that's a huge huge congrats to Young Bull you know getting that NFL record man because 68 man Man, that thing would have been good from about 72, Ocho.
58:37Shannon Sharpe:It hit the back of the wall. Oof. That kick would have been good from 72. Yeah. Now, he drove it. I mean, he drove it, Ocho. Line drive. Line drive. They're getting up high. But he knew he had to drive it in order to get the distance that he wanted. Absolutely. I mean, he hit it flush. He couldn't hit it better. If you put any air on that, it ain't going to get there. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. I mean, Ocho, when I first got to the league, guy kicked a 50-yarder, you were like, oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Now, 50-yarder, you expect guys. You're like, it ain't no hoping.
59:14Shannon Sharpe:Like, Lord, please let him make this kick. A 50-yarder, you're like, you better make that. That's a P.A.T. for these guys now. Yeah, that ain't nothing. Now, 58, 60, 62. As routine. Yes. As routine now. Yes. I just knew. I thought the Cowboys kicker would be the first guy to kick a 70. Aubrey. I think he got leg. But it's going to have to be at the end of the half. They're not going to let you do it in the first quarter. It's got to be the end of the half, something like that. And he's going to break it. He's going to break it. They're going to let him do it. They're definitely going to let him do it.
59:50They're going to come in a situation where the Cowboys are playing, and they're going to allow Aubrey to go from 68, 69, hell, maybe even 70. He's going to reset that record.
59:59Shannon Sharpe:Because he's in the best situation because he's indoors. Yeah. He's indoors. And you see this record was broken in Vegas indoors. Indoors, yeah. Tucker broke the record indoors. Yeah. Or somebody at Denver at altitude where the ball travels from. Travels, right. So if it's going to be outside, it's probably, now it's that 68, it's probably going to have to be in Denver or indoor where the elements don't come into play.
1:00:30Damn.
