In short
Nightcap Hour 1 is a heated NFL recap and debate centered on the Broncos’ 28-3 Monday night beatdown of the Bengals, plus discussion of the Dolphins’ 27-21 win over the Jets despite Tyreek Hill’s knee injury, and a separate argument about AJ Brown’s production.
Guests/backgrounds
Shannon Sharpe (former NFL player; “Liberty City”/Bengals ring-of-fame references) and Chad Johnson/Ocho Cinco (former Bengals receiver; “Ring of Fame honoree,” Pro Bowl/all-pro). Sean Alexander is mentioned as joining later.
Key claims
- Broncos dominated Cincinnati; Chad argues the Bengals’ offense couldn’t function due to backup QB and repeated holding/pre-snap penalties.
- Bengals fans shouldn’t celebrate because they were outscored heavily and had poor third-down/total offense output.
- Tyreek Hill’s injury looks serious (carted off with air cast; reported hospital visit), and Dolphins’ offseason/cap decisions will hinge on rehab and recovery.
- AJ Brown’s cryptic tweet and Nick Sirianni’s response are framed as a dispute about targets/production vs “winning,” with Shannon defending blocking as part of receiver value.
Notable examples
- Broncos: Bo Nix 29/42, 326 yards, 2 TD; JK Dobbins 16 carries, 101 yards; final 28-3.
- Bengals: Joe Burrow absent; T. Higgins 3 catches for 32 yards; 2-of-11 third down; <160 total yards.
- Dolphins/Jets: Tyreek Hill knee injury after tackle by Malachi Moore; Dolphins win 27-21; Jets lost via fumbles/penalties/turnovers.

Anybody with common sense or any football knowledge knew what the outcome would be, but that is what you say. Wait a minute. I know it. out what I said. Sometimes, you ever been in a relationship? Hold on, listen to me. Chat, y 'all stay with me now. You ever been in a relationship and a woman tell you something that she really don't mean and you don't find out later until y 'all break up?

11:38Shannon Sharpe:It was a holding call. We got called back. Ocho, Ocho, I'm just saying, O.P.D. I mean, all I know is back in our time, we saw a guy that didn't have the same melanin as us trying to D up. It was curtains. O.P. out there doing the do on him. Got it right on Mayberry. It's all good. It's all good. Listen, I'm glad you're happy because that's about the only win y 'all probably going to get. Listen, at least my team, at least we got an excuse. Our quarterback is gone. Our quarterback is gone. It ain't my fault. Chester, do y 'all hit his man? What does that sound like to me? We had so many pre-snap penalties.

12:26Shannon Sharpe:Couldn't do nothing. As a matter of fact, you couldn't do nothing. You shouldn't say nothing, and you ain't going to be nothing. So I don't want to hear nothing. You know what I'm saying? Don't make me raise up on you. It's all good. You're going to be trouble. Trouble. it's all good I tell you what listen no disrespect to Browning no disrespect to him but we need to get a quarterback in now we need to bring somebody in we need to bring somebody in why are you being like this I'm not I'm just saying somebody that can run an offense and give us opportunities we got balls sailing all out of bounds we gotta give our players a chance if you know we down a quarterback you have to make every goddamn play count every play has to count The offensive line has to understand that.
13:08You got to give us a chance to win. You don't got the hole. You don't have to hole. You got the hole if you can't block. Slide your feet. Use your hands. Like, use your technique. I don't know what we're doing. We had a whole offensive series eliminated by three holding calls in a row.
13:26Shannon Sharpe:Your technique is holding. What part about that didn't you get? Okay, to make it, in the words of Cam Ward, your team, When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice. Like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast. Once it was locked in, I had to be ready to go. That's where Amazon Prime can make a difference.

I didn't have my quarterback. At least I didn't have my quarterback, so I don't feel that bad about losing.
23:25Shannon Sharpe:I'm talking about something that happened 24 hours ago. I said the same thing that happened to the Ravens will befall your team tonight. I tried to tell you that. I said, Ocho, don't rub it in. I don't want to hear, oh, oh, do me a favor. I don't want to hear you say foot. I said, Ocho, don't do that now, because you know you got to. Hey, don't worry about me. We got this. Now look at you. You were talking about yesterday. I'm talking about today. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Your team was at full strength. My team is handicapped. We don't have a quarterback. So listen, the fact that you're even happy about this win, that lets me know you was nervous in the first place.
24:01Because if it was me, I'd be like, you know what? Y 'all are head quarterback. I'm going to give you some grace. I'm going to give you some grace. I don't know grace.
24:09Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all won that full strength. Grace is a young lady's name. grace is mentioned in the Bible there ain't nothing said that about Shannon I ain't in there I'm gonna put it on you so with that being said Ocho Ocho you like my chat y 'all like my digs y 'all like my robe look at my robe I got a robe
24:28hey hey chat how y 'all like my y 'all like my old school jersey they the leaping tiger old school old school hey hey You know I brought going out. Hey, this is the best receiver in the game right here. I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell.
24:48Shannon Sharpe:Best receiver in the game. Opie Taylor glued him down. Glued down. You talking about Uno? Yeah. Man, listen, man. You know when the quarterback can't. Ocho, he had five catches for 23 yards. That's not even five yards a catch. J.K. Dobbins averaged five yards a rush. Hey. As a matter of fact, he averaged six yards a carry. 6.4. Hey, there's no way you're happy about this win. And anybody in the chat, if you're a Broncos fan, are you happy about this win too? Happy, elated, ecstatic. That's a shame on y 'all. Yes, we can't cheer loud enough. I mean, why would you be happy about a team that's beat up with no quarterback?
25:35That doesn't make no sense. That don't make no sense. That's like me going to play against high school kids, and I bomb everybody.
25:44Shannon Sharpe:I mean, hello? Maybe when you was in the league, you ain't bombing nobody. Sit down. And what you should have did, they should have just forfeited the game. You know what? Say they had engine trouble to play and not even come. Why y 'all come this far west to put on that type of performance? You know they're going to flex y 'all. Y 'all were supposed to have a lot of Monday night games. they're going to flex y 'all. Sunday night games y 'all getting flexed. Nah they're going to keep him. No they're not. Hey I'm telling you right now a new quarterback is going to be in there because we have to be.
26:19Listen it's one thing to have Joe Burrow go down. Okay boom you have to have your backup quarterback. For the offense not to be run not to be able to be run in any type of efficient manner. They have holding call after holding call. Not be able to put the ball. Get the ball to two of the better receiving duos in the league? I mean, like, come on, man.
26:39Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, your defense is bad. Y 'all had holding calls. That offensive line hasn't been good since Joe Burrow's been there. A lot of the reason Joe Burrow is hurt is because of that offensive line. So I'm trying to figure out the quarterback that y 'all can bring in that's going to be functional and can be operational behind one of the worst offensive lines in football. I don't care the receivers you have. As a matter of fact, bring Jerry Rice back in his prime. Bring Randy Moss in his prime. With that offensive line and that quarterback, they're going to look just like what those guys look tonight.
27:14You know that's the same offensive line that Joe Burrow had when Jamar Chase had the Triple Crown last year, right? And tell me the playoff. How many playoff games did y 'all win? We're not talking about playoff games. We're talking about bringing the quarterback in that can be efficient so we can at least compete in these games.
27:30Shannon Sharpe:So in other words, you want to compete as long as you lose. You don't mind losing as long as you're competing. We got to compete. You call that competing tonight? Hold on. You call that competing? Yep. That's the best y 'all can do.
27:46Shannon Sharpe:Oh, well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, my God. Hold on. Yes. Wait, hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
27:58Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on, yeah. Yeah, they talking about my Bengals. Talking about my Bengals. We gonna be all right. Chad, y 'all wanna see something?
28:15Shannon Sharpe:You see a little couple of photos of your favorite back in the day. Yeah, let's talk, hey. Hey, let's talk about my Dolphins though. Let's talk about my Dolphins. Oh, Joe, we talking about this game. We gonna be all right. talk about the dolphins in a minute yeah hold on hold on this man claiming a team he ain't
28:39that he don't want to claim the patriots he don't want to now he want to move on
28:44Shannon Sharpe:hey well we know what happened let's talk about my dolphins though hold on oh cho let's finish let's wrap up this game hey we were we wrapped it up already y 'all won
28:56Hey, let's talk about them dolphins.
29:01Shannon Sharpe:Oh, oh, this, this, these the gloves I, hey. I don't know if you can see this, but these are the gloves that I wore when I broke the tight end touchdown record. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it right here. Hey, chat, you know, look at it.
29:19Why them look like Newman's? Them Newman's?
29:28Shannon Sharpe:And them Nikes? Or that's Reebok? Right, they didn't have a deal with Nike at the time. So Nike wasn't the official glove, so they had NFL equipment on them. Okay. But it don't matter what it was. Yeah. I could have had some work construction gloves on. I can grab it. Okay, yeah. But the Broncos dominate the Cincinnati Bengals by the score of 28-3. The game really wasn't that close, Chad. I know if you guys watched this game, I know you were very disappointed in the performance the Bengals put on display. That's two weeks in a row. They've been some butt, cheeks, booty, any other thing that you want to say.
30:16Shannon Sharpe:Weak sauce, you know what I'm saying. In the words of my good friend Cam Ward, they were,
30:23Shannon Sharpe:But the Broncos moved to 2-2, and the Bengals are now 2-2, about to be 2-3 when the Lions put Belt to you-know-what next week. I'm going to be at that game. It don't matter. Let me tell you something. I'm going to be at that game, and I'm going to get a team of pep talk. I'm going to be at that game, and I'm going to get a team of pep talk. I'm not sure. I'm going to give him some pep to bismol. Listen, I'm not sure if Browning would be the quarterback next week. I'm just saying for us for us to be able to compete just compete be able to run the offense put together a string of drives just stuff like just something positive there's nothing to build off there's nothing good to take away from this game Ocho you like my robe?
31:08What?
31:09Shannon Sharpe:I can get you one Who? I can get you a robe Nah that's ugly I don't like that Y 'all orange you do realize the Bengals are orange also right? Yeah, but not that orange. I'll tell you what y 'all now that's not either. Winnie. Not Winnie. Hey, it's all good. Let me ask you this. Would you like Russell Wilson? Should they trade for Russell? Yeah, Russell or Jameis. Either one.
31:40Russell or Jameis. You know, the way Jameis sling that thing and don't kill, Jameis Winston, he down there somewhere just let it go oh cho hold on let me see let me look at these stats oh my gosh what
32:01Shannon Sharpe:oh my goodness wow horrible y 'all was two of 11 on third down y 'all ran 43 plays 43 y 'all had less than 160 yards of total offense y 'all had 10 total drives 10. Hey. 10. Now you see what I mean? You practice. You get to work at 9 o 'clock in the morning on Wednesday. You leave work after practice, go through meetings, watch film, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Saturday, you got walkthrough. Saturday, you get on the plane, fly way the mile high, and you put up 160 yards of offense after working all week long. Hold on. Let me get this straight. I'll make sure you heard you straight. You say y 'all practice?
32:55Not yet. Wednesday. Oh.
32:58Shannon Sharpe:We get to the stadium 9 o 'clock. Y 'all did that in practice? I think y 'all could have did that without practicing. You see what I mean? That's what I'm talking about. That's why one change needs to be made. One change. One change can do wonders. Move the bingos out of Cincinnati. We good. We good. We good. You talking about them Dolphins, though? I'm saying we're pretty good to the Dolphins. That's not your team, though. I mean, we've been on one game for the past 30 minutes. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't say foot or ball, and I told you, you cannot say game. When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance.
33:39Shannon Sharpe:Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice, like the time when I had the last-minute trip to Denver, and everything came together fast. once it was locked in, I had to be ready to go.

39:01Pigskin. Let's talk about the other pigskin game.
39:04Shannon Sharpe:Okay. I told you KC game. Oh. The Miami Dolphins win, but they lost. in winning 27-21 over the New York Jets. They lost Tyreek Hill to what looks like a potential season-ending injury, but they did win the game by the score of 27-21. They get off the snide. Now they're 1-3.
39:32Shannon Sharpe:Tua, 17 of 25, 177 yards, two touchdowns to Darren Waller. Yeah. Devon Achan had 20 carries, 99 yards. He had a rush touchdown. Justin Fields played well, but he turned the ball over. 20 of 27, 226 yards, one touchdown. They ran the ball for almost 200 yards, but they were undone by three very costly fumbles. And that was the difference in the ballgame. They're getting ready to go in for a touchdown, and the DB makes a great punch out and they boom. That was Minka. Minka did that. Yes. Ocho, we're talking about, we'll get back to this game. Tyreek. Yeah. He landed in his leg, bent awkwardly after being tackled by Malachi Moore along the sideline.
40:26Shannon Sharpe:He was carted off with an air cast and waved to the crowd. I mean, I don't really know what to make of his emotion. Maybe he would not want it. I've never seen anybody seem to be happy that they were injured. I don't want to read too much into it, but I think for me, Ocho, I don't think you've ever seen that type of reaction going off the field. But let's just send hopefully everything, because it's being reported, Ocho, he went to the hospital. Yeah. So I don't know anything. I haven't gotten any reports. I don't know if you know anything. You're down there. If you've heard anything, but it didn't look good.
41:05Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen, as far as his reaction goes, that's one of those, God damn, if it's not one thing or another. And of course, because the cameras, because everyone can see you, you have to put on that face, that smile, obviously, because, I mean, like, God damn. But the first thing he says when he got on the card, you can see his expression. He was like, God damn. And he got that smile on his face, like, you know, I'm going through this. I'm going through that. I'm trying to get my season turned around. And then here we go with this bull drive happening to me. It's unfortunate. I wish my dog well.
41:49I'm hoping it's not serious. Being that they had to cart him off and they had to put an air cast, it's serious.
41:56Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they don't air cast for no reason. Matter of fact... Go ahead. Go ahead, Uncle. Finish up. I'm for the Texans. The Jets had 23 first down. The Dolphins had 19. Third down efficiency, the Jets was four of nine. Dolphins was four of 12. The Jets had 400 yards of offense. Dolphins had 300 yards of offense. The Jets had 13 penalties for 101 yards, and they had three turnovers. That's how they lost the game. Yeah. I think you know who else I think hurt they knee too? Who that? Oh, the Jets running back? Yeah. Yeah, he ran the darkness. He ran right into the back of his own guy, and then the guy came and – yeah.
42:48I hate when players do that, huh? Because – listen, I'm not even going to mention what we talked about last night when I talk about playing on grass. Mm-hmm. And as you see, there were some injuries today on grass. But that didn't hear no there. But god damn, man. All right, I text Tyreek. I'm waiting on the text back. Yeah, it's a – the Jets are going to have to be –
43:17Shannon Sharpe:the Jets are going to need to get out of their way, Chad. They keep beating themselves. They fumbled the ball. They had a great situation, and then they fumbled the ball, and they gave – who did they play? Pittsburgh. They had Pittsburgh on the road, and they fumbled the ball, and Pittsburgh gets momentum. them. They're going in for a touchdown to take the lead. They punch that out. Justin Fields fumbled. They lose that. The other guy fumbled. They lose that. Bad teams find ways to lose. Good teams find ways to win. This is right now. They need to get out of their own way. Justin Fields played.
43:49Shannon Sharpe:He threw the ball really well. Have a heck of a run. How he got out of there and turned that into a 43 yard touchdown? I don't know. But only a handful of guys have ever been in the league that's been able to do that. and he just so happens to be one of them. They ran the ball 28 rushes, 197 yards. Justin Fields, 20 of 27, 226 yards, but three turnovers and 10 plus penalties. That's how you lose the ball game. That's how they lost the game.
44:24Shannon Sharpe:You got to be better than that, Ocho. I mean, I really don't know what to say. I feel bad for AG. But guys got to take care of the football. You got to find a way. You got to win a game to get your confidence back. Because right now, we're close. And I'm saying, hey, guys, we're right there. We're close. And they are. Very. But the problem that you're having is that you're not good enough to overcome the mistakes that you're making. You're not good enough to overcome the penalties that you're creating. So when you turn the ball over and you have mistakes as far as pre-snap and post-snap penalties, they're not good enough to overcome that.
45:02Shannon Sharpe:As a matter of fact, there isn't a team good enough to overcome the mistakes that the Jets had tonight and the penalties. There's no team constructed that's good enough to overcome that. You pay double for them goddamn turnovers now.
45:22hey I got a question yeah and everybody in the chat that was laughing why y 'all was he he he and ha ha because my bang was lost minus a Joe Burrow and yes we couldn't move the ball we weren't efficient off the line looked like they were inept but hey all you Bronco fans in the chat who y 'all play next week who y 'all play
45:47Shannon Sharpe:the Eagles the who we talk about this week we get 24 hours to celebrate who y 'all play next week we play the Lions I'm gonna be at the game that y 'all not winning I tell you what y 'all ain't winning either I bet that so we both gonna be on the show and neither one of us gonna be able to say foot or ball you ain't gonna bet nothing who won't bet you What you want to do? Throw it on the floor. I'll pick it up. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Nope. Nope. Bet some. Man, that Bronco look good tonight. Oh, here you go. You think they look good because you're playing against a depleted Bengals team? I'm playing against a Bengals team.
46:32No, you're playing against a depleted, injury-stricken Bengals team. How about you judge your Broncos off how they look against a team like the Eagles? Do that. Do that. That's when you judge them. Judge them off next week's game. Judge them off next week's game. We'll see. What's the hostility for? Make sure you keep the same energy.
46:54Shannon Sharpe:Make sure you keep the same energy. I'm your partner. I know. I'm just saying. I know what you're just saying. I mean, you're hostile. I'm not hostile. I'm just saying. My voice is a little raspy. My voice is a little raspy, but I'm just saying. Y 'all are all excited. We beat the Bengals 28-3. and I mean, that ain't nothing to be proud of. That ain't nothing to be proud of. I mean, Ocho, y 'all only scored 13 points in the last two games. Y 'all scored 13 points. More than me, Ash, and Jordan. Okay. Okay. Man. All right. I sure hope it's going to get better for y 'all. Tyreek has 11 ,363 receiving yards since entering the NFL in 2017.
47:39Shannon Sharpe:That's the most in the league over that time frame. He also has 819 catches, fourth most in the league since 2017, behind Devontae Adams, 886, Travis Kelsey, 880, and Stephon Diggs, 824. His 83 touchdown catches are the third most in the NFL over that time frame. Devontae has 102. Mike Evans has 91. Here's the thing, Ocho. Yeah. You can't trade him now. You're stuck with him. He's on your team for the rest of the season. And he's not going to – there's a great – we don't know, but I'm just saying, if you were thinking about trading, you can't. Second of all, he's on your team, and he's probably not going to be able to be any benefit to you because that looked really, really serious, and it doesn't look like he's going to play anymore this year.
48:35Shannon Sharpe:so now all that being said there's a greater chance this offseason I mean everything you're going to have to check out you know how that is because now the value is not what it once was he's over 30 and he's coming off a significant injury there is value there but not the value that he had before he suffered this injury so now what are the Dolphins going to do? I'm not sure I'm not sure. To me, it's all based on rehab, treatment, and seeing how you feel when you get back. We've seen a few players come back from injuries. We don't know what the injury is yet to date, but knowing Tyreek, knowing the way he works behind closed doors that most people don't get a chance to see, that he works his ass off.
49:25So he's going to work his tail off. He'll be able to get back out there and get back to full tilt. Yeah. As far as speed goes, you ain't losing no speed. Yeah, he got that to play with. That ain't going nowhere. So I'm just hoping, you know, you get your range of motion back, get your flexibility back, you know, get those tendons and whatever. I still don't know what happened, but just get all that stuff around the area that is or get everything around that area strengthened and come back strong the next year. I'm not sure. The cap hit is huge. I'm not sure it would be with the Dolphins, but whatever it is, you're going to handle your business.
50:05Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, AJ Brown's cryptic tweet. Head coach Nick Sirianni responded today to his star receiver. Obviously, AJ is very important to this football team. I know he wants to contribute. I know he wants to contribute and do things he's capable of doing. He wants to contribute into these wins, and he's had a couple of games where he hasn't been able to be for a different reason. But I question nothing about his desire to play great football, his desire to be a great teammate his desire to be here Ocho what do you uh what he had to say I mean I like it it's cool I mean a coach going in front of going in front of the cameras going in front of the media and saying the things he has to say he has to say those things now the conversation I think he probably had with AJ might be completely different might be completely different because that's the way a coach and a player talk to each other I'm sure he's he knows the frustration.
50:58A.J. Brown has said this countless times over and over and over again. He said it last year. He said it last year. He said it in the media, I think it was last week, or maybe a week before last, before he had the game he had last week. It's constantly the same thing. And I think a lot of people are saying, oh, he's a diva. Oh, he's selfish. No, he's not. He wants to win. When it comes to winning, obviously you want to be a part of that. It's like doing a school project, huh? It's like doing a group project in school and everybody else do the work and you sit on the back end and everybody getting an award and then you're like, well, hell, I ain't even get to hell.
51:40I feel like I ain't doing nothing. He just wants to be a part and contribute to the wins that they're having, being able to contribute to the whole.
51:49Shannon Sharpe:He contributed. He blocked and doing a great job.
51:55Shannon Sharpe:that's a part of it don't you i mean sometimes look i understand look we all when we say we want to you know we want to we want to contribute receivers won't they want to win i'm not questioning whether or not a receiver wants to win but they really like to win their way that means 10 catches 100 yards and a touchdown at least that's what they figure contributing blocking is not a necessary blocking is not really a part where they feel they're contributing. They measure their worth in catches and yards and touchdowns, and I get it. I'm glad you said that. They measure their worth. How do you measure the value when it's time to get paid of a good receiver?
52:30By his what?
52:33Shannon Sharpe:All that comes into play. Yes, catching, touchdowns, but blocking. Blocking is also a part of that. I have never seen a great blocking receiver get$30 million. never what they weren't back there back then but jerry rice jerry rice block oh come on man i'm just saying oh joe we gotta stop this now look i understand that we like these guys we let's call it what it is aj brown is upset that he's not he sees puka nakua he sees all these other receivers yeah yes so so winning is not the most important thing his stats are Of course they are, because that's how they judge us. That's how they value. What's the first thing?
53:22When you talk about numbers, that's the first thing we only talk about. When we talk about top five, what's the first thing we do? We bring up the numbers.
53:32Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question. Talk to me. Did you ever hear Hines Ward complain? He didn't have to. They got in the ball. Go ahead. Next. He blocked. People thought they changed the rule they got it. They got a rule in for Hines Ward and Quambo the guys block I
53:54Shannon Sharpe:Because so this notion that he cares more about winning he doesn't he cares about his stats So you didn't care about your stats How do you how do you go public and complain about catches when you win it if you lose it? he has a valid argument because if you give me the ball, we would not be in this situation. You're winning. You're winning, Ocho. Okay. All right. You're right. All right. You're winning. You're winning. Okay. So let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. I'll give you a prime example. Let's just say for the sake of argument, Jalen Hurts winning. He said, man, but damn, I'm throwing for 112 yards, but he see all these other guys throwing for 300, 400 yards, and he said, man, I need to throw the ball more.
54:40Shannon Sharpe:what would you say then
54:45wait
54:46Shannon Sharpe:they measure quarterback by his numbers so if Jalen Hurst throw it for 112, 130 they winning and he says man I want to throw the ball I mean I wish I could throw the ball like Mahomes I wish I could throw the ball like Josh Allen I wish I could put the ball in the air like some of these other quarterbacks what would you say then what would you say then stats is everything I love how you switch things up stats is everything and you know that there's a reason why he's fussing you know that I know why when it comes to this dirty business you know that there's a reason why every receiver every number one acts a fool when it comes to their numbers and getting catches because they base our value on production.
55:44Shannon Sharpe:You know that. Let me ask you a question. Let's just say for the sake of argument, let's just say he had Puka Nakua's numbers, but they were one in three. That's a hypothetical. That's a hypothetical. You see what you did? I see. I got it, Jack. Hold on. Let me finish. Let me finish. Let me finish. When you go to the table, are they - He already got paid. Let me finish. Okay. He got paid already, right? Yes. So you know what they're going to tell him? Well, AJ, you know what? Your production doesn't match the salary you're making. So we need you to take a pay cut. Because when it comes to making$30 million a year, they don't measure it by wins and losses.
56:27It's based on the goddamn numbers and your production. Not no damn blocking.
56:32Shannon Sharpe:Oh, you block really well. We're going to pay you$30 million. Let me ask you this. Are the Eagles the only team that paid receivers? So you don't think he could go anywhere else? So if his numbers are not good there, what are other teams looking at him? They say AJ still – I don't know. I don't know. We were talking about one scenario. We were talking about one scenario. But I'm saying you're trying to say the only – the important to him is his stats. I thought winning. When he came there, he said he wanted to be a part of a win. He already won. He won already. Give me some goddamn numbers. He had to go through this shit last year.
57:05Shannon Sharpe:And guess what? He got paid. He got paid. He got paid. He got paid. I can see if he was on that first contract, he got paid. Oh, I got paid. So you know what? I'm good. One catch for seven yards in a four quarter game is enough for 32. That's OK. That's OK. That's OK. I'm just asking you, is that OK by your standards? Is that OK by your Hall of Fame? He could have called 12 for a buck 50 and lost. Would that be okay by Hill standards? Is that okay by your... I'm just asking you. You know what? It's okay. No, I let you go like this. So if he catches 12 for a buck 50 and they lose, that's okay. Let me say something.
57:53Shannon Sharpe:He didn't catch 12 for a buck 50 and they lost. He caught two for seven and they won. And they won. So what's he complaining about? I thought the most important thing was winning. Okay, you're right. You know what? You're right. It is. You're right. So I'm asking, is it the win or his numbers? I mean, you would like to be able to contribute. You would like to. I'm just asking, is it winning or the numbers? The numbers and winning. No. Well, he's winning. He's winning. He's winning on you. All right. I remember, hey. Okay. I remember the time. He's so funny. Anytime we talk about receivers, quarterbacks, the first thing we bring up is numbers.
58:41The only thing we bring up is numbers. Now all of a sudden catching two goddamn two passes for seven yards is okay because you win it.
58:48Shannon Sharpe:No. Hello. We mentioned Jayla Hurts. We don't mention no numbers. We mentioned winners. Everybody says he should be a top quarterback. No, no, no. When we talk about winners, we talk about individuals. and the only way we talk about those winners and individuals is by mentioning their numbers and why they're winning. Okay, which in Jalen Hurst numbers? People say Jalen Hurst should be thought of as a top five quarterback because he's a winner. He doesn't have top five quarterback numbers, but he wins. So now I'm trying to figure out, is it winning or is it numbers?
59:34Shannon Sharpe:I'm just curious, Ocho. Hey, boy, you forgot, boy. Hey, boy, you forgot. Ocho, man, you look. I was the number one guy for a while, for a while in Denver. And, yeah, I like to catch. But at the end of the day, if I said I wanted to win, and I've caught most of the time when I had big games, I can honestly say most of the times when I had big games, we won. But there are times that, you know, I didn't have a great game as far as stats-wise that we won. How am I going to go publicly, go public and complain when we're winning? How? Right. That's all I'm saying. Look, I understand his frustration.
1:00:18Shannon Sharpe:I do. Yes, I do. Because you get out there and you practice all week long, and they tell you they're going to get you the ball, and then come game time, it don't happen. I get it. I've been there. Hey. But it's hard. It's just hard when you're winning to convince people and convince the media that winning is the most important thing. Because it sounds like your numbers are the most important thing. I'm just saying how it comes up.
1:00:53Hey, I got a question.
1:00:55Shannon Sharpe:Go ahead. When it comes time for players to get paid, what do they base it off of? Your what? Almond Ross A. Brown. Whether he's gotten paid or not, when it's time for a player to get paid, what do they base it off when you go to the table? What do they bring up? Your what? Your stats. All right. Text closed. Let me get something to drink. They bring up your stats, but what about winning? Tell me the guy that got paid at top receiver money, and they're not winning.
1:01:34Shannon Sharpe:what receiver get making top money tell me the receivers that's making top money that didn't make that that's that didn't make playoffs has jetta ever made the playoffs has cd ever made the playoffs hey um has chase i'm just asking ocho you keep saying that that don't make no that make no sense they not getting paid because they made a playoffs don't do that if they wanted they didn't make the playoff they would get paid anyway so you were so you'd rather have stats than lose than have lesser stats why are you trying to talk about losing and winning we talk about because they're winning and he doesn't have the stats he could have stats and lose like he was losing a 10th fee.
1:02:20You talk about two totally different things. I said, what do they base it off of when it's time to get paid? I'm just asking you a simple question. Numbers in production. That's what they do.
1:02:32Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I'm just asking. So you're playing hypotheticals that had nothing to do with anything. I'm just asking you a question. So how many times, I give you a prime example. Here's a guy that put up stats and they didn't win and he didn't Megatron. How many times do you hear Megatron complain about the ball? Who else were they going to throw it to? See, there you go. You see, I doubt you changed it. Who else were they going to throw it to? They didn't have a choice. Stafford didn't have a choice but to throw it to him. You see? You see how you flip it off? What are we talking about? Ocho, he didn't win.
1:03:07Shannon Sharpe:He had crazy stats. Crazy stats. 1 ,964 yards in a 16-game season. For what? Asking why did he leave early. Ask Barry Sanders why did he retire early. All those rush yards. All those receiving yards. He said, man, I just got tired of losing. Yeah. You think that's what it was? If it's a lie, they told it. I can tell you why Calvin wanted to go. I can tell you that. It ain't got nothing to do with no goddamn losing. Okay. Well, if it's a lie, he told it.
1:03:54Hey, that was a great conversation.
1:04:00Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I hope you don't think he's going to go out there and turn it out against old Satan. P.S. Hey, you have our P.S. Hey, listen, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Hey, chat. Chad, stay with me real quick. Hey, um. What? I wouldn't be surprised. Because obviously, you know the player's upset. Yes. Oh, they're going to try to get in rock. Inside that building, the first thing he's going to want to do, and I guarantee you, and I bet the house on it, the first play is going to him. I don't know what it's going to be. It could be something quick. I'm doubling it. It's going straight to him.
1:04:34Shannon Sharpe:I'm doubling it. Hey, you know what you're supposed to do? A guy like that, you double it. You take him away early because then he go like, man, here we go. You playing the Philadelphia Eagles double who you better drag. You better drop nine in the box and stop playing. You better drop nine in the box. Hey, what we'll do. We'll take P square. We take P square. Put him home. Whoever he ain't catching nothing. Matt, man. Listen, hey, Pat Sertain, get up there playing with playing with 11. 11 if he want to. He get up there playing with 11 if he want to. He get bench press out the way. Don't do that.
1:05:16Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey. Them hands. Hey. Karate expert. And listen. Hey, hey, P2 got lucky tonight. PS2 got lucky tonight. For what? He didn't have a quarterback. He lucky. You had a quarterback last year. You had a quarterback last year. And we beat y 'all, didn't we? Y 'all, but what did Chase do? We beat y 'all, didn't we? See, oh, it's about winning. Chad, did you hear what he just said? We beat y 'all, didn't we? Nah, Chad, did you hear what he just said? Did we not beat y 'all? Chad, did you hear what he just said? Now it's about winning. It's not about stats. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are we talking about stats?
1:05:59Are you talking about the Choma crown winner? Are you talking about, hey, hold on.
1:06:02Shannon Sharpe:Are you talking about the Choma crown winner? Huh? You talking about him? told me chat what he just told me hold on that we were talking about a specific situation yes okay i say ps square shutting down you said we won the game down don't nobody say nobody man stop go back and look at chase numbers in that game when when when uh uh satan didn't give up satan didn't give up 200 yards last year look up look up higgins numbers in that game Not when he, oh, he won against Moss. Who won the game? Y 'all won, but I thought, but you said win doesn't matter, it's about stats. I thought you said the point was to win, so we won.
1:06:45Stats shouldn't matter, right? Ain't that what you said? Chad, this man just told. Make up your mind.
1:06:58Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you know what y 'all, Hey, you know what? Come up out of this. I'm getting hot now. Uh-huh. Hey, hey. What? I got my AC off. I'm hot. Man, I got my AC on, and it's still hot. I'm going to have to have me another road made.
1:07:25Shannon Sharpe:Got so tight on my shoulders, I can barely turn around. Dang it.
1:07:33Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe. What up? You want one of these t-shirts? I'll get you a Bronco t-shirt. I'm good. See, we should have bet. We should have bet. The loser would have had to wear the other team's gear. Oh, no, I can't do that. That's disrespectful. That's disrespectful for all the years and hard work and the blood, sweat, and tears and going to war with my teammates, even putting on another team's jersey like that. No, I can't do that. Man, whatever. Despite the Raiders losing to the Bears 25-24, Aston Gentry had his best game after bringing back his iconic Mike Myers stance. It seems his head coach Pete Carroll loved it.
1:08:15Since House High School, Gentry has stood straight up
1:08:18Shannon Sharpe:with his hands by his side in the backfield before the snap. However, during the Raiders offseason, the coaching staff demanded Gentry switch to a traditional running back stance. Chip Kelly being the main advocate for Jente to change. It bent knee game. During his first three games, Jente struggled to get going. He averaged 3.1 yards a carry on 47 carries. Since changing backs to that stance yesterday, he recorded 155 total yards, 138 of those on the ground, three touchdowns, two receiving, one rushing. After the game, Jente said, that's how I naturally feel good standing in the backfield, so that's how I'm going to play.
1:08:55Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, we've heard a lot of players that's played under Jim Kelly in the NFL. Like, hey, it's like his way. I'm trying to figure out what does that stance have to do with your coaching style? It's all about control with him. It's all about control with him. That man's been standing like there. It's kind of like a quarterback, Ocho, that's taken. and Johnny talked about it, he only took about six snaps his whole career prior to getting to the NFL under center. This man has been playing like this. You took him as a top 10 pick in the draft, and now you get it, and now you want to change everything about it.
1:09:36Why? I mean, the whole point of you drafting as high is based on everything he does. Not the production, but why change what makes him comfortable? That's like you draft a receiver very high and try to change him on how he stands, how he's on routes. Like, what are we doing? Coaching. That's it. Let him do what he does. He's not giving you any indication in which way he's going by standing straight up.
1:10:03Shannon Sharpe:None. That's what he's like. That's his style. And plus, Ocho, the man, Ocho, you put him in a conventional stand, how the hell are you going to see? You might as well put him in a down stance. He already 5 '6". Hell, you put him in a... Now he 5 '2". Yeah. Let the man stand up so he can just scan the field. And I think he wears a shield. so it's not like you can see his eyes and see where he's going. Yeah. I mean, it's all about control with him, man. That stance wasn't bothering anybody. Nobody at all. At all. Just to say, just to have your imprint on something. Oh, the coach. And like I said, Pete Carroll should have said, hey, Pete should have went to Chip and said, nah, Chip, we're going to lead that stance just like it is.
1:10:41Leave it alone. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad he went back to doing what he liked. And it's funny, as soon as he goes back to doing what he liked, he has a game like he did. even though they did lose.
1:10:51Shannon Sharpe:Right. But look, if that's what's going to make him comfortable, Ocho, running out of that stance, most of the time, coaches are very superstitious. If you need a special meal, if you need something, they make sure you have that. Right. Yeah, absolutely. They're going to make sure you have that. That man's that stance rushed for over 2 ,000 yards, what, 2 ,500, 2 ,600 yards last year? And now all of a sudden he get there. how does that impact your play calling? Because he's standing up like that. Does it force you to call plays differently than you would if he's in a conventional stance? No. It's okay not to have – see, I don't fault him.
1:11:34I fault Pete Carroll for allowing it.
1:11:37Shannon Sharpe:Because at the end of the day, he's the offensive coordinator. Pete Carroll is the head coach. And I've seen head coaches override offense and defensive coordinators when they did – no, let him do that. because at the end of the day I want you to play your absolute best if standing up in that stance it's like you said a receiver some coaches if you're on one side whatever side you're on if you're on the right side I want your right leg back if you're on the left side I want your left leg back man leave me the F alone yeah yeah yeah it's funny I used to play with my stance and I really love the fact that at times I was give them the freedom to change things because you know they watch film yes when that skinny it's always the same place if the ball is in the middle you inside add to the numbers if the ball is on the left edge you outside add to the numbers so i used to play with my spits a lot you had to yes yes so i would play with my spits a lot so people wouldn't know what i was doing because it's always on film so i would just add stuff into the offense but i would always end up in the same place at the right time i got to be there right and that's what that's what it come down to You know, hey, sometimes you got to run a slant.
1:12:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. You got to switch it up. You got to run. You can't. Hey, man, he tight. Yeah. Well, hell, they going to know. Sometimes you got to, hey, man, I'm going to have to bust it, but I can't keep lining up in this tight split and running this shallow, or I can't keep running this tight split and running this speed out because they going to pick up on that. Like you said, they study film. They study your foot placement. They study your alignment. They study, okay, oh, oh. He always, he normally always have this foot back. Yeah. When he has this foot back, here come that bang. So now you put that foot back and you run the out because he going to be looking to drive the bang.
1:13:36Shannon Sharpe:Because the same thing that we do when we see a linebacker and he's staggering, he puts his stance, oh, man, you coming. You ain't going to drop in no coverage. Man, Sharp, how you know? Don't worry about it. I'll tell you after the game. I ain't for the team. I ain't for the team. You die so you can change it up. But, yeah, let the young man prosper. And if that's what's going to help him be his absolute best, take off, son. Hey, you want to eat spaghetti for a pregame? Take off. Yeah. If you want to eat me, I was a French toast oatmeal guy. That's what I had in a banana. That's what my pregame was.
1:14:18Shannon Sharpe:Now, I ate pasta the night before the game, but some people like pasta and steak before the game. Uh-uh, I don't like that, Ocho. That's too heavy. That's too heavy. I need to be light. I need that stuff to be out of my system by the time I get to the game. But, yeah, I think Chip Kelly was trying to do too much for that. That was totally unnecessary because now let the guy succeed. The official language of football is trash talk, late night group chats, memes, and unbelievable highlight clips.
