In short
Nightcap Hour 1 focuses on the Detroit Lions’ dominant Week 3 road win over the Baltimore Ravens, plus broader discussion of Ravens defensive issues and Lamar Jackson’s struggles under pressure. The hosts also briefly reference other NFL storylines (e.g., Derrick Henry’s fumble trend, upcoming matchups, and general early-season form).
Guests
No guests are interviewed in this transcript. Hosts are Shannon Sharpe (“favorite uncle, Shannon Sharp”) and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson (“Chad Ochocinco Johnson”).
Key claims
- Lions physically “thumped” the Ravens; Detroit ran the ball effectively (224 rushing yards on 38 carries).
- Ravens’ defense is concerning: they allowed multiple long scoring drives and struggled to stop the run and generate pressure (Lamar was sacked seven times).
- Ravens’ offense made mistakes (Lamar held the ball too long; turnovers and red-zone efficiency are discussed as problems).
- Lions’ coaching aggressiveness (Dan Campbell) and four-down mentality helped swing the game.
Notable examples
- David Montgomery: 154 yards, 2 TDs, long 72.
- Jared Goff: 20/28, 202 yards, 1 TD, 0 interceptions, 0 sacks allowed.
- Ravens allowed 96- and 98-yard drives; Lions were 4-for-4/5 in the red zone while Baltimore was 2-for-4.

6:50Shannon Sharpe:Ocho. Yo. The Lions go into Baltimore. Run the ball for 264 yards. Ooh. Let me take that back. They ran the ball for 200. How many yards did they run for? 224. They ran the ball 38 times, 224. David Montgomery had 12 rush attempts for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Had a long of 72. So he's averaging what? What? 12-12. So he's averaging damn near 13 yards a carry in an NFL game. Yeah. Hold on. Not just – hold on. Just not an NFL game, huh? We talk about the Ravens. Ravens. We ain't talk about any NFL game. We playing against the Ravens. Who identity – they're known for what? They're known for their defense.
7:36Shannon Sharpe:They're known to be physical. Jerry Goff was 20 of 28, 202 yards, an interception. No – excuse me, a touchdown, no turnovers, zero sacks. Lamar Jackson had an okay night throwing the ball, 21 of 27, 288, three touchdowns, Ocho, but he was sacked seven times. Yeah. And it wasn't – they wasn't bringing no pressure. That was four-man pressure. A lot of that was three down. They would bring what we call three-down scan, three-down spy, where they would rush three and then have somebody like right there. Where you going, Lamar? By Lamar, yeah. And spy. And they're getting pressure with three rushers.
8:13Shannon Sharpe:That's unacceptable. Yeah. And King Henry, let me tell you something, bro. Woo. That's three games, huh? That's three in a row. That's three games. And the ball is in your left hand. So obviously, he's a right-handed player. That's his non-dominant hand, arm. And so now they see the ball is awake because he's getting ready to stiff arm, and the ball just got slightly away from his body and hutched from the back. You got to sense that. They're going to attack the ball now, Henry. That's what they're doing. They say, you know what? hey we're not gonna let you run our ass over you can't go nowhere without the ball yeah and obviously Hutch was coming from behind too and he had no idea and he's running to the left so as a running back you learn that from Peewee you learn it in high school you learn it in college if you run it to your left you always keep the ball in what?
9:02in your left hand but obviously somebody coming from behind you gotta keep that thing high and tight high and tight uh
9:11Shannon Sharpe:Ocho I've been trying to tell I see the thing is a lot of times Ocho if you just a fan of the game and you just watch the game my team won we're not trying to hear what you said I said now y 'all can blame it on Henry's and you can blame this but Baltimore your defense is an issue Baltimore and I told you this the other night when you played Buffalo you gave up 264 yards in the fourth quarter to the Buffalo Bills you gave up 22 points in the fourth quarter to the Buffalo Bills. I say, you've got an issue. Now, Baltimore Ravens fans, you know, because a lot of you guys have said, man, we need a new D.C.
9:49Shannon Sharpe:Zach Orr, we need a new D.C. I don't know what you need, but if somebody would have told me that the Lions were going to come in there and physically beat the Ravens up, I say, I bet your doorknob to a bucket of carbon door that won't happen. Yeah, absolutely. Listen, I wouldn't think the Lions would come in and physically dominate and impose their will on the Ravens, especially offensively. I knew they would score points. I knew that. And I felt the way the game started off, the first and the second quarter, they was going back and forth. And I thought to myself, I'm at the cigar bar for the first half.
10:21Man, I kicked my feet up. Boy, it's going to be a barn burner. They finna be going back and forth. But obviously, Lamar Jackson holding on to the ball a little bit too long, trying to make plays down the field. Take off. That clock got to go off. Take off. You got to go. You got to know when to go. And if you're not going to go, if you're not going to take off, throw the ball out of bounds. Throw the ball away. Throw it away. So you live to see another play. So you live to see another down, but you're putting your team in unfortunate circumstances. You're going from first and 10 to second and 18.
10:50From second and 18 to third and 20-something. So there are really not many plays that you can run from that point, and so you lose the offensive series.
10:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, it ain't that many plays in the playbook that you got for 15, third and 20, third and 25. Ocho, you might go a whole year. A defense might go a whole year. and maybe have one drive in which they give up a drive of 90-plus yards. Yeah. The Ravens gave up two in this game. Two. A 96-yard drive and a 98-yard drive. You know how hard that is to do, huh? Yeah, yeah. You know how hard it is to string together a bunch of plays and drive the whole goddamn field? Basically had the ball for 11 minutes. No, that's very difficult. Yes. That's very difficult to do. Hey, Montgomery had a date. you know that that monkey jumped on his back like he was running the goddamn 400 jameer gives had a day listen and this is all come down to you're gonna have games like this right but they got to fix the turnovers you got to fix the turnovers they listen the rate uh the lions should have had almost three interceptions they dropped they dropped them yes they dropped them and this is what is always haunted the ravens once they make it to the playoffs they play very well throughout the season and they get into the first round of the playoffs and they do stuff like this they turn the ball over they need to fix these issues i'm glad it's early in the season it's only week three so they have plenty of time to get this stuff together derrick henry they're gonna go back they're gonna start from the basics high and tight if you got to run the ball like goddamn tiki barber did when he played dude so be it or keep it look here or keep it in your right arm if you feel more comfortable which if you go back and look at emmy smith you'll never see him with the ball in his right arm.
12:32Shannon Sharpe:Right. He kept everything in his left because, and he's a right, but he felt more comfortable. Go back and look at Emmitt. It don't matter what side of the foot, what side he's on. He taking a toss to the right, he got it in his left. He taking a toss to the left, he got it in his left. So King Henry, if you feel more comfortable with it now, it's going to take away the stiff arm opportunity, but Emmitt really wasn't a stiff arm type of guy. That is your weapon, is the stiff arm. and you know you got the ball if you're on the left hand side you're on the right hand side it's gonna be hard to stiff arm somebody coming from the inside yeah but but you gotta do something like it's mental now Ocho you know how it is Ocho you drop a couple of passes in the game it's in your head then it start bothering you it's in your head hey you start you start trying to body catch it and like okay oh I'm gonna look I'm gonna look it all the way in the next thing We ought to have been there.
13:29Shannon Sharpe:If you catch pass, if you call passes for a living, you've had a day. And when you're like, damn, just don't throw me the ball. And here I am, I'm open again. Yeah, ball beats you right up. Ball beats you up. Ocho, this is what we normally say about the Ravens due to other teams. They beat people up. Yes. They smash people. For the Lions to come in here and do what they did, Jared Goff was 20 of 28, 2-0-2 a touchdown. God. Excuse me. no interceptions no sacks i do understand matter b quick and van or two of their best pass rushes wasn't there yeah they hurt but that ain't got nothing to do with that running now no that ain't got nothing to do that's that's a running is about physicality it's about domination it's about moving a man out of the way against his wheel wheel right that's what that is about and for somebody if like i said on show if somebody would have told me this is what was this is the time Okay, if you tell me the Lions are going to win, well, they can score points.
14:29Shannon Sharpe:Okay, I don't think they're going to win in Baltimore. But, you know, if they – okay, I can see that. But if you tell me they're going to come in and get dominated like they got dominated tonight, I wouldn't have believed that. Not running the ball like that, Ocho. I haven't seen the Ravens get run on like that. That's physically dominated. And, you know, I thought Lamar was throwing the ball well. Like you said, Ocho, that clock's got to go off a little quicker. Yeah, that's all. The clock's got to go off a little quicker. Bro, that ain't seven on seven. They're not going to let you back there and pat the ball and let you just pat the ball and just let you pat the ball.
15:02Shannon Sharpe:You got to go. After one pat, let it go. Take off. Either you take off or let it go out of bounds somewhere. But I think you got to look. The Lions defense, man, and that was a bugaboo last year, Ocho. You know, they score points, but they had to seemingly outscore everybody. This defense this year, look, they gave up 30 points. I only really counted that last turn. That was late in the ball game. Because they had a goal line stand. They stuffed Derrick Henry. They stuffed him. And then Lamar tried it. And they stuffed Lamar. Give them credit. They bowed their backs when they had to bow their backs.
15:40Shannon Sharpe:But I'm concerned about the Ravens' defense. I'm concerned about it, Ocho. Because like I said, they gave up 200. Ocho, man, 264 yards in a quarter? That's over 1 ,000 yards in a damn game. and you gave up 22 points. So now look at this, what they gave up today. They gave up a drive of 67, 98, 60, and 94 yards. Two touchdown drives of at least 11 plays or more. One of the drives took 10 and a half minutes off the clock. And listen, one of the strong suits of the Ravens has always been being able to stop the run. The issues with the Ravens has always been the back end. It's always been the back end.
16:21But now it looks like not only the back end is struggling, Hell, the front end is struggling too. If you can't stop the run and you can't stop the goddamn pass, well, shit, you just out there for goddamn decoration. And I love – hey, let me tell you something too. I love Dan Campbell. I love Dan Campbell and his willingness not to give two flats, drops a pigeon drop on concrete what down it is. I'm going – they playing four-down football. Dan Campbell is playing four-down football no matter where he's out on the field. He really just don't care.
16:48Shannon Sharpe:Well, you got to understand the type of game that you're in. And he's like, okay, well, my defense really hadn't stopped them. They're going up and down the field too. And so the likelihood of a field goal game beating the Ravens is not very likely. And we're down in this situation. We're fourth and one. We're fourth and two. I trust Jerry Goff to make the right decision. It's the same thing. That's why the Baltimore Ravens, you understand the type of game that you're in. That's what you have to do. Within the first drive or two, you understand what type of game this is going to be, Ocho. Most definitely.
17:17Shannon Sharpe:This is going to be one of those 30-point games. Yes. Yes, and so kicking, punting the ball and kicking field goals, that's not how we're going to win this game. Nah. I'm concerned. Look, the turnovers will always be an issue. Obviously, you can't turn the football over. But the ease in which the Lions move the football tonight is very concerning to me. Let me tell you something. This is the good thing, huh? This is the good thing for the Ravens. How many offenses are like the Lions that's in the NFL? maybe two or three i'm talking two or three that can go up and down the field and throw it maybe the packers are one that you don't have to be like the lions if you got it going up because everybody gonna look like the lions against that defense i don't know um everybody don't have the personnel it's all about situational football and the personnel you have uh okay let's let's let's let's okay let's just say the afc right you got the charges That's one team that's capable of doing exactly what the Lions did tonight.
18:20That's one.
18:22Shannon Sharpe:The Chargers. Who else? I'm throwing Cincinnati out because they don't have Burrow. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't do that. Don't do that. Yeah, they ain't got Burrow. They're not doing anything. It ain't too many. Even though Mahomes and them can't run the football like that, it's still Mahomes and come playoff time, you're not willing to wager anything against him. Right. And here's the other thing, Ocho. We know the Ravens don't play their best football in the postseason. So I don't need to look like the Lions did tonight in order to beat them. Because guess what? I got seven sacks and turnovers. We know in the postseason when the Ravens lose, what do they do?
19:01Shannon Sharpe:Turn the ball over. At least once. A lot of occasions is two or more. So I don't really need to look like the Lions in order to beat the Ravens because they're going to give me some cheap possessions. They're going to put me out. They're going to turn the ball over in their territory and give me a short field. Right. And you know how momentum is in the playoff. Man, once that thing go, hey, they can run 7, 14, 10, 14 points on you in a hurry. I'm shocked. Chad, I'm not bulljiving, y 'all. Yeah. I am shocked with the ease in which the Detroit Lions ran the football, how they protected their quarterback.
19:37Shannon Sharpe:I mean, bro, they had 426. I mean, they couldn't get them off the field, Ocho. Yeah. And matter of fact, you know what I will say? I will say this. As someone who watches the game of football, understand the game of football, even though the Ravens lost tonight, they were dominated somewhat defensively on the offensive side of the ball. Obviously, Lamar taking six, seven sacks, whatever it may have been. It should have been damn near three, maybe even four interceptions. A game like this, Lamar have a game like this, and then he going on a streak, Unc, for the next 11, 12 games, and them same sacks he's taking, he breaking those.
20:13for 20 and 30-yard gains. So you have a game like this, but then you don't chastise him for having a game like this or trying to make plays and trying to extend plays, which he's extremely, extremely good at, because the rest of the year, he going to break all those. The rest of the year, those seven or six sacks, they're not going to be sacks. They're going to be gains in which he has 10 or more yards to keep a drive going.
20:37Shannon Sharpe:But here's the thing, though. When he was taking those sacks last year, what did his mom say? Run the damn ball. Run the damn ball, yeah. You see, so sometimes he get caught up. Yeah, we know you can throw the football. But in situations like this, I mean, they're dropping seven in coverage. Yeah, they were. You got to give them credit, Ocho, because they were stopping him with their front. So they didn't sacrifice the back end. So they didn't have to drop that safety down to deal with King Henry. Give those guys credit. Now, they're going to have to do a better job of finding Bateman. It seems like Mark Andrews getting his legs back.
21:11Shannon Sharpe:You know, he came off that very, very serious leg injury a couple of years ago. And so he's starting to look like Mark Andrews again until likely comes back. But I was just shocked. I mean, it was 7 of 14. It wasn't like the Ravens were bad on third down. They were 6 of 11. But 50 % on third down, and then you go 3 of 3 on fourth down. Hold on. And think about it. In the red zone, if I'm not mistaken, the goddamn lines were what? four for four five and five in the red zone every time they got down there yep man there's four or five there's four or five in the red zone okay four or five and the ravens was two or four oh that's gonna be hard to beat i mean you think about it both teams i mean 20 of 28 passing for the lions 21 of 28 for the ravens 7.2 yards per pass play 6.7 my concerns has been watching them in the first game of the season.
22:09Shannon Sharpe:I'm like, okay, I don't want to make too big of an issue. Right. But that defense concerns me, Ocho. That defense concerns me. Yeah. I mean, listen, that's going to be their Achilles heel. That's going to be their Achilles heel until they fix it. And people saying, oh, we need a defensive coordinator. We need a new coordinator. Well, you got who you got right now. Yeah, but listen, every time I hear that, listen, we talked about Ben Johnson and AG obviously being gone, but you still have the same personnel. And we saw that tonight. We saw that tonight offensively. The creativity is still there.
22:42Them boys ran the goddamn triple option, huh? Man, they ran the triple option. And defensively, they made some great plays. Brian Branch all over the place, almost had an interception. I'm not sure what happened to that. That was an easy one, too. But, I mean, they look good. They look good on both sides of the ball.

22:59Shannon Sharpe:And, Ocho, and I'm looking at Detroit, and then I watch how Green Bay dominated them. Yeah. Green Bay dominated them. Yeah. I don't even know if they had 200 yards on total offense. I was like, what the hell? And then I watched them drop 52 on Chicago last week, who just turned around and dropped 38 on Cowboys. But beating Cowboys ain't saying much because Cowboys defense hadn't been good for an extended period of time. But Detroit, Detroit off, and we knew offensively, and I know, look, Green Bay is a division game. Division games are tough. Now, when you drop 30, 40 points on a division opponent, that knows you.
23:37Shannon Sharpe:You play each other twice a year. You know them. They know you. And it's not like I understand Ben Johnson is your new head coach. But, hell, you just coached against him for the last five years as offensive coordinator for the Lions. So you got film on him. You know what he likes to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When it's all said and done, we thought they lost both coordinators. They were going to take a step back. It doesn't look like they're going to take a step back. It looks like they're going to take a damn giant leap forward. Yeah, and the funny thing about it is you know how the saying goes, especially in the beginning of the season any given Sunday you're right any given Sunday especially in the beginning of the season right now teams offensively they're not even into their form yet they're not even into their form defense is a little different all you're doing is you're reacting by the time we get to week 5 and 6 and everybody offensively is hitting their stride look at Caleb Williams even though they were playing the Cowboys we had doubts about Caleb Williams now he's starting to come into his own looking like the quarterback that was drafted in the first round now again I know it was the Cowboys but still this is what we've been waiting for but that's what I want to see Ocho when I'm playing an inferior opponent and I know they bad on one side of the ball don't you want to see your side of the ball dominate the side that you feel are inferior we know the Cowboys defense isn't very good so I expected everybody to get healthy if you're struggling offensively, the doctor will tell you, play the Cowboys and call me tomorrow.
25:08Shannon Sharpe:You'll be just fine. Because you'll be able to do whatever you want to do. They can't consistently generate pressure. The pass defense isn't very good, and it hasn't been very good for a very, very long time because they can't generate pressure. If you can't put pressure on, I don't care who your secondary is. Unless you're dealing with Hall of Famer, historically great players, you're not going to do anything. You've got to pressure the quarterback. The quarterback got to go down. The quarterback has to be in fear. You have to speed the quarterback up. Yeah. But Detroit, 24 first down, Ocho, they got won by penalty.
25:43Shannon Sharpe:11 on passing, 12 on rushing, third down efficiency. They were 50 % on third down. They was 100 % on fourth down, 66 total plays. See, the Ravens ran into the problem, Ocho. They had 19 rushing tips. Now, you know damn well the Ravens normally have 30, 35, 40 rushing tips. Yeah, but listen, they had those rush attempts like that. It's a high volume of rush attempts when the goddamn run is actually working. But don't let, listen, a lot of times, Ocho, guys tell the story like you go to, you know, you see a lot of professional athletes. Now, some guys make a lot more money than others. And then you'll get caught up in a situation, y 'all at the club, let me get a bottle.
26:27Shannon Sharpe:Let me buy a round for everybody. You ain't got money like him. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, you go to the casino, Ocho, and they playing$1 ,000,$5 ,000 a hand. Well, bro, you're supposed to be playing$100 a hand, and you get caught up in that. The Ravens got caught up into this situation, Ocho, because they said, okay, the game's going to be high score. But Ravens, y 'all can score points and run the ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. What you wanted to say? Hold on. I just heard you say something. Excuse my ignorance. I heard you in comparison to tonight's game, the casino part and playing thousand and five thousand dollar hands.
27:06That's a real thing.
27:07Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, for sure. 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.

31:36Shannon Sharpe:You get caught. You, hey, Ocho, you know you go in the club and they looking. Hey, I got it like that too. Hey, let me get a bottle. Hey, you know, we done got us a table. Hey, let me get a bottle. Let me get that ace of spades. Let me get this. Let me get that. You try to impress people. Hold on. Where the hell can you play a thousand or$5 ,000 hands? I played Blackjack. Hold on. I played blackjack in Vegas and it was a$25 table,$25. Yeah, exactly. But they got$25 ,000 tables too. And they got$50 ,000 table and they got private rooms that they'll let you play up to a, probably a hundred thousand a hand.
32:13Shannon Sharpe:What? Yes. Who the hell has that kind of disposable income to pay a hundred thousand dollars a hand? A lot of people, a lot of people. I got it. That's how you, that's how you win millions. You can't win millions playing$500 hands. If you're trying to win, it takes money to make money. So if you're trying to take money off the casino, you're going to have to put something up. They say in order to catch a lion, you got to use your best goat. So if you want big bucks, you got to put big bucks up. Oh, hell no. I'm just saying. Man, Detroit, they impressed me tonight. They look real good. They impressed me tonight.
32:53Shannon Sharpe:The Ravens at home and coming off a big win against Cleveland. And look, they dropped 40 on Cleveland, and we think Cleveland's defense is good. Wore them down because of the turnovers, and then you're going three and out, and now you're putting your defense on the field, back on the field. No matter how great your defense is, they will wear down if you continuously put them, trot them out there. But I think this, tonight, I think we ought to make this more about what Detroit did do than what the Ravens didn't do. Yeah, absolutely. We can say the Ravens' defense is concerning. We can say Lamar took too many sacks, so he needs to speed the process up, either take off running with the football or throw it away.
33:36Shannon Sharpe:But somebody put them under the gun. Somebody put them in fear. That was the Detroit Lions. Detroit Lions ran the football. They did a great job of protecting Jerry Goff because he's not the most mobile quarterback, and he was never under duress. A guy like him, Ocho, if you don't put him under duress, he'll pick your ass apart. And hence, 20 or 28. Matter of fact, the fact that he's not a dual threat quarterback, you got to get pressure and get him off the spot. You got to find a way to make him uncomfortable. And if you blitz, you got to be careful. If you blitz, they're going to kill you. If they blitz, they're going to kill you because offensively, they already got the hot reads already built in because he's not a mobile quarterback.
34:18As a matter of fact, I forgot to tell you I was being nice tonight. You shouldn't be saying foot or ball because you were Ravens Why are you bringing Ravens helmet out tonight? As a matter of fact, I feel bad for you because not only did your team lose tonight on Monday night, your team going to lose next Monday night too Your other team Your other team going to lose next, wait, is it Monday?
34:41Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, we got a doubleheader Yes You going to get a double whammy A double whammy and I could almost guarantee you that. No. I mean, think about it. Ocho, they only missed four tackles on defense. The Lions improved to 12-2 in primetime games under Dan Campbell. Gibbs and Montgomery, a.k.a. Sonics and Knuckles, recorded a touchdown in the same game for the 11th time. Both had two touchdowns. They broke the tie with Packers' great Paul Horning and Jim Taylor, both of those guys in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Hugh McElhaney and Joe Perry. Jody Jet Perry was once the all-time leading rusher in NFL history, if I'm not mistaken, for the most such games of any running back tandem.
35:24So, Ocho, I don't know if you know this,
35:33Shannon Sharpe:but you probably agree with me. Aiden Hutchinson about to become the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL. Aiden? Yep. He's second Lamar twice, right? Uh...
35:49Shannon Sharpe:I know he got it once. I know he had one sack. Hold on, let me see. No, he had one sack, one tackle for loss, forced fumble. Muhammad had two and a half sacks. Yeah, I don't know about the highest pay, but he'll get close to it because he ain't getting more than 47. Why not? He's not getting more than 47, and they just gave Micah. Micah is a transcending talent. Aiden Hutchinson is good. he's really good ain't hundreds before he broke his leg he was the odds on favor to be defensive player of the year hold on before he what before he broke his leg and there go your answer why he's not getting more than 47.
36:26Shannon Sharpe:they got a rod in his leg and the rod is not a leg it's stronger why would i tell you now see just like i told you last night i told you cd gonna be out three to four weeks now didn't i tell you that now chat y 'all listen y 'all listen to a guy that's never been hurt why would you listen to a guy that's never been hurt about wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute i i never said cd wasn't gonna be hurt he had a high ankle sprain You said one week. He's not getting re-evaluated until 14 days. Right. I said three to four weeks. You said one. Did you see that man ankle laid on the ground?
37:01Shannon Sharpe:Hold on. You got to listen to me. You got to understand. I saw he got caught up in the tackle. He got caught up under the person's body weight, actually. His body weight is why he had a high ankle sprain. If CD were to come to me and holla at your boy. I can get him back in a week. But the fact that everything in that structured environment, they like to do things their way with their people, it's probably going to take three to four weeks for them to get back on the goddamn field. It's going to take that. I mean, that thing stretched him. Like I said, that's exactly the way CD got hurt. That's exactly the way I hurt my ankle the very first time with a high ankle sprain.
37:37Shannon Sharpe:Albert Lewis tackled me the same way, but it was like a hip drop tackle, Ocho. Did the exact same, Ocho, I'm talking about the exact same thing. And every time I would get my ankle, that's how I hurt my ankle. It was like they just knew. I never rolled it over the top. I always rolled in. Oh, man. And then they put that weight on it, all that pressure on it? Yep. Ocho, Aiden Hutchinson, isn't he younger than Micah? He's probably a year or two younger than Micah. He can't be more than 24, Ocho. I mean, probably not. But you got to understand. Listen, now, come on, come on. You know the game very well.
38:18They love to use certain things against you. As great as he is, as great as he was in becoming, he was going to be a rookie of the year. That was his rookie year, right? He was cutting up? He was cutting up his rookie year? Yeah. He was cutting up his second year? Second year, but I...
38:34Shannon Sharpe:Cutting up his third year? Yeah. I'm curious to think, Ocho, because he's young. And guess what? He's a local kid. Where is he from, Ocho? he from out that way yes he went to Michigan he played yes okay okay well all that plays a part in but I did yes you know how owners work you know how management work man when it come when it come time well you know this happened to you uh we don't know with not with them oh I see I see what you mean okay I got you I got you I got you you good we let that one go yeah the Ravens one turnover allowed seven sack missed 20 tackles John Harbaugh the biggest problem is we didn't play good run defense that's not going to be good enough that's bad run defense that's not who we are I totally agree it cannot be who we are we got to get better better pack John Harbaugh must be is John Harbaugh was he listening to me talk Ocho yeah we got to get a better pass rush there's no doubt about it that's not that's that's not going to be good enough ever i'm sitting there watching the game and i'm saying i'm saying this from i'm like i'm just i'm just sitting there like bro y 'all got to put the pressure on the quarterback i don't care jerry golf if you let him sit back there in the pocket yeah he'll do just what he did did you did Did you see him last week?
40:01Shannon Sharpe:Who did they play last week? Chicago. Ocho, he completed 82 % of his passes for five touchdowns. Now, I don't know what 20 or 28 is, but it's damn good. Yeah, absolutely. I don't know what percentage is off the top of my head, but it's better than 60%. I know that. And he was under no duress. And, Ocho, and like you said, at some point, you got to stop something. Damn. Yeah. You like the guy. Oh, Ocho, you like fighting. So you know boxing, the guy hits you with the jab. He hits you with the straight right. He hit you with the check. He hit you with the left. He hit you with the uppercut. Son, you got to stop something.
40:41Shannon Sharpe:He hit you with everything. So damn, either block the jab, but you got to do something. He can't tag you to the body. Well, damn, son. Ravens, you got to stop something. Either you rush the passer, put pressure on the quarterback, or you stop the run. But you're not beating anybody. If you give an offense anything they want, they're going to take more than what you're giving them. They're going to take you to town every time, huh? They're going to take you to town every time. The funny thing about it is the Ravens don't have to play an offense like the Lions every week. So probably, I'm not even sure who their next opponent is, but they're probably going to embarrass them.
41:22They're probably going to score 30-plus. Yeah.
41:26Shannon Sharpe:Oh, they go to Kansas City. Now watch what happened. I mean, no disrespect to the Chiefs. No disrespect to the Chiefs. Now watch what happened. I guarantee you. It's going to be a high score. Watch they mollywop the damn Chiefs. The Ravens never mollywop the Chiefs. Because guess what, Ocho? In order to disrupt the Chiefs, what must you be able to do? Pressure Mahomes. Pressure Mahomes. Thank you. The Ravens had to play Kansas City 1-2, where they've never beaten Patrick Mahomes Since 2008, the Ravens are 0-3 at an arrowhead, allowing an average of 29 points per game. Derrick Henry also fumbled again.
42:09Shannon Sharpe:Like I said, it's in his head now, Ocho. Yeah. I mean, three consecutive games. Like one, because now people are going to attack the football. They said, hey, get that football out. The same thing happened to Ramondre Stevenson yesterday in Pittsburgh. He had three, right? Three or two. He did. Yeah, he did. He did. And so now they'll alert when you're in the game, hey, attack the football. Because he'll give it up. He'll give it up. But I agree with everything John Harbaugh said. John Harbaugh basically cooperated what you and I started talking about. Right, right. The pass rush wasn't good enough.
42:44Shannon Sharpe:The rush defense wasn't good enough. Mm-hmm.
42:50Shannon Sharpe:Because that's not good enough. The Ravens are better. We think the Ravens still – look, it's one game, won't you? Oh, yeah, that's it. But there's some cause for concerns for me for what I saw because I've seen this in two out of three games. We saw Josh Allen in the second half go up and down the field like the Lions did basically the entire damn game. And you're talking about who's going to – we forgot about Buffalo. We think Buffalo's going to be there when it's all said and done. Oh, absolutely. Now, you're talking about a guy that got Lamar Jackson's leg and he's 6 '5 and he's 250 pounds.
43:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And he could throw the ball through the eye of a hurricane. So now, what type of team, at the end of the day, what type of team you want to have, Ravens? Right. Because I just want you to know now, this thing don't stay open forever. The store closes. The store closes. So y 'all need to cash in some of these opportunities. Yeah. They really need to cash in some of these opportunities, Ocho. They need to go into free agency. They need to find a bona fide pass rusher. They need to go into the draft, but they got to get somebody. When the Ravens were at their best, they had Terrell Suggs. They had a guy that can put his hand in the dirt and go get your quarterback.
44:13Shannon Sharpe:Defensive player of the year. They had a Ray Lewis. That was a defensive player of the year. You had an A. Reed. That was a defensive player of the year. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen, we're not those type of players. aren't coming around no time soon. But I'm saying you're going to have to go. No Ed Reed, but I, that depends. But if you go back and look at us, what we had, Ocho, in 2000, we had a Peter Boulware. We had a Michael McQuarrie. We had a Rob Burnett. We, hey, you got to have guys that can go get, hunt the quarterback, Ocho. You got to hunt the opposing quarterback. You got, it's an absolute must.
44:44Shannon Sharpe:The guys are too good if you don't get them on the ground. Yeah, you right. But the identity for those teams, also during that time, when you were playing, when I was playing, the Steelers, their identity, it was their defense. Yes. The identity for the Ravens back then, it was their defense. And then you feared having to play them. I didn't personally, I'm just saying they instilled fear before you even played the goddamn games. They were that good. Those days are long gone. Look, and this is not a not, look, Roquan is Roquan's man. He's an all pro. Oh yeah, he's nice. He nice now. But you got to get somebody that can hunt the quarterback.
45:24Shannon Sharpe:You got to get somebody that can hunt the quarterback. Yeah. That's what you need. You look at the team. Philly. What can Philly do? We think Green Bay is going to be there because what can Green Bay do? Hunt the quarterback. Go get the quarterback. You look at the teams that we think that's going to be there when it's all said and done, all of them, we believe, can go hunt the quarterback. Yeah. And you've got to be able to hunt the quarterback. Now, I understand that Van Noa and Mattelbeek is injured. And so when they come back, but okay, and I'll give you that. Okay, that's why they didn't generate pressure getting to the quarterback.
45:55Shannon Sharpe:But I can offer you nothing on why they gave up 220-plus yards rushing. I got nothing for that, Ocho. I got nothing for that. Oh, man. John Harbaugh on Derrick Henry Fumbles. I don't think it would be a norm going forward, but we got to get it fixed. That was a blind shot still. We just want to protect the football. If you remember, Ocho, every time that he's fumbling, if I'm not mistaken, it was the Cleveland. I don't know because he both of them now and Oliver got him. He was trying to step on it. I can't get you down. So he raked the ball. Oh, yeah. But the ball was in his left arm tonight.
46:32Shannon Sharpe:He didn't realize Hutch was behind him. Yeah, it's like, boom, got the ball out. Right. I don't know if he had it in his left or. Maybe it was right, because I remember he read the read through the hole against Cleveland and they punched it out. They ended up getting it back, if I'm not mistaken. But he's got a – it's in his head. Yeah. It's in his head. And the bad thing, too, playing running back and you fumbling the ball, you don't run the same. You don't run the same. Nope, you don't run as aggressive. Absolutely not. You don't run as aggressive.
47:05Shannon Sharpe:The Ravens have 111 points this season. That's the most points through three games by any team in NFL history with a losing record. they're leading the NFL in scoring Ocho they got 103 points they're 1-2 the next two excuse 111 they have 111 points they're 1-2 the Colts and the Lions Colts are 3-0 they got 103 points the Lions 2-1 103 points let that sink in so they're averaging 35 37 points a game and got a losing record.
47:53Shannon Sharpe:It's still early. That tells you your defense. You heard me? It's still early, though. It's real early. It is early. It's early. That's why you need to get it fixed. Now, yeah. You're right. You don't want to be having this conversation in December, and your damn sure don't want to have it in January. No. So let's go ahead and have this conversation. Sometimes, don't you? You have to have a conversation, an uncomfortable conversation
48:25Shannon Sharpe:before all hell break loose. Yeah. Before 2025, no starting quarterback had ever lost multiple games in which they had 140 passer rating in a single season. Lamar Jackson has already lost two such games through three. He had 144.4 in a week one loss against the Bills. 148.1 in a week three loss against the Lions. Now, he does have the highest quarterback rating in NFL history. Nobody would have ever thought that. If you'd have told me that, that I think he could play quarterback in the NFL, yes. But if you told me he was going to be an MVP-level quarterback and have the highest passer rating, nobody would believe it.
49:05Shannon Sharpe:Because if they would have believed Lamar, this is what they know. If they would have believed Lamar would have turned out like this, they'd have taken him number one overall. Absolutely. The fact that he had to wait to the goddamn bottom for the first round. And the Ravens traded back in to get him. And then they had the nerve to say, you want to, at the combine, you want to work out as a receiver? Yeah, I can't run some routes. What? Excuse me? Come on, man. Hey, listen, that's why it's so surprising. He had to work his tail off to get to the point where he is now, though. Let me show y 'all I'm just not a running quarterback.
49:37Let me show you not only my dual threat. I can use my leg, but I can use my arm, too. So now the secondary is not running. The secondary is, I mean, excuse me, my primary first thing now is to throw the ball, which is why you're seeing some of the sacks now. I'm trying to extend plays to show you I can throw the ball. But let's get back to what you do best. If you go through your progression and it's not there, go ahead and get them y 'all. All ass. Go ahead and get them y 'all. All ass, Ocho.
50:05Shannon Sharpe:Live to see another day. You got to. I think it was a blessing in disguise. Because maybe if he goes early in the first round, he doesn't work as hard. Because, Ocho, you know when you got something to prove, not only to yourself because you want to show them. Man, they wanted me to move to wide receiver. They wanted me to play running back. Right. They talking about I'm a running back that can throw. They really said I wasn't. They didn't do that to Tim Tebow. They let that man play quarterback. Yeah. Now, once they found out he couldn't really play consistent quarterback, they asked him to move.
50:38Shannon Sharpe:Right. But y 'all asking me to move without even giving me an opportunity to play it. Let me go. Give me an opportunity to play quarterback. Then if I can't play quarterback and if I choose to move, I'll do that. But at least give me the opportunity. Right. And he's worked his ass off and it's become an absolute dime dropper. Now, that two-point throw, that was a frustration throw, Ocho. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a frustration because you know damn well Lamar Jackson ain't going to miss a wide open receiver by that much. Right. He was just like, man.
51:13Shannon Sharpe:Lamar, after the game, said, I feel like week one was a wake-up call, not just a loss. Man, them boys finna come back and do – I ain't going to say it no more. I ain't going to say it no more. They're going to be all right. They're going to be all right next week. When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. And 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.

56:32Shannon Sharpe:They got their work cut out for them. You know, Kansas City? Hey, Kansas City trying to get back, trying to put strings and wins together. Hold on. Kansas City 0-3 still? One. They beat the Giants last night. Oh, they did beat the Giants. Yeah, they beat the Giants. And they calling for Russ Head over there already, huh?
56:51I know, I know. We got that coming.
56:53Shannon Sharpe:We coming. Nick Bosa is out for the season, Ocho, with a torn ACL. The Niners are 3-0. The Niners look to be cursed. This is nothing new to them. Through week three, they've already dealt with injuries. Bart Purdy missed the game. George Kittle has missed two games. Juwan Jennings missed the game. Brandon Ayuk has yet to play. looking at their injury rankings in the past two years. In 2024, they were the most injured team. In 2022, they were the ninth most injured team. In 2021, they were the third most injured team. In 2020, they were the most injured team. In 2019, the sixth most injured team.
57:30Shannon Sharpe:In 2018, the fourth most. I don't know who their training staff is, but... Something ain't right. Something ain't right. Ain't no way your team is supposed to be that injured. I don't know what type of training they got. Maybe they got them doing bands. I don't know what they got them doing, Ocho, but this is unacceptable. Yeah, listen, it's just not their team. I'm curious, and I'm not understanding why the injury rate in the NFL has continued to go up. And I'm talking about non-contact injuries. I know Bosa obviously was blocking, and it gave out. Got rolled, yeah. But come on, man. like every week is somebody Najee Harris hurt he done tore his ACL no it's Achilles ain't it Achilles I mean Achilles I'm like well god damn those are so that's the thing that that's that puzzle orthopedics because there's no rhyme or reason because think about Ocho the guy just get ready to take off and collapse yeah I don't understand man you know sometimes you know it's just a and normally it's the push off yeah you know acl you know sudden stop you know you get you know foot got caught in the ground you get tackled from the side you get swiped or something uh the uh the leg that a knee goes back but man something this ain't adding up ocho i mean these athletic trainers uh and the sports trainer the weight condition strength and conditioning they're supposed to be some of the best in the world and you got a bill ocho you got i mean the the uh The 49ers got to be worth seven, eight billion dollars.
59:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Y 'all got to get some people in there that know that, hey, something ain't adding up. I'm right here. Something ain't adding up. You heard me? Huh? You say the 49ers get somebody that know what they're doing? You do realize that to be a strength and conditioning coach, you have to have a degree. And that's the problem. And that's the problem. That's why everybody keep getting hurt because they worry about shit that ain't got nothing to do with no goddamn degree. Yes. Hold on. Listen to me. You go to school and you learn about all these things that mean nothing when it comes to playing that violent sport.
59:45You should bring somebody in there that's played a violent sport and was able to do it without getting hurt. That's what you need to do. That don't take no degree.
59:53Shannon Sharpe:Under that premise, all your great coaches should have played in the NFL. How many great NFL – you say somebody that played. Hold on. Hold on now. we talk we talk about we talk about preventing injuries now you guys have you going from apples to oranges we got no two totally besides but your base so in other words you're saying that because you played and didn't get injured yeah never nothing but no no hamstring no who's built like ocho so you ask if you're asking people to to to do what you did when they don't built like you they don't have the biomechanics like you they might not be built like me right they might not have my makeup or my dna but based on their size and the structure of how they built i'm able to finagle the system and what they need to do to ensure they don't get hurt that's what i do that's what i'm good at that's why i understand on how to the longevity i'm 57 i still ain't been hurt and i'm still active like i'm hey i get active out there right now playing soccer i'm playing pickleball i'm playing tennis like i'm still active nothing wrong with me nothing requires you to be as violent with the sudden start and stops like an nfl football player yeah that's what i'm saying so the fact that i was able to do it with nothing happening nothing listen i wish i could give joe burrow my toe i wish i could give cd lamb my ankle i could get me i wish i could give Nick Bolson my knee.
1:01:22I don't need him. Man, I'm telling you, I can prevent this stuff, man, but nobody want to listen to me, man.
1:01:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, that's probably not going to happen. I know it's all good, though. It's all good. It's all good. I don't know if they want 47-year-old knees and 47-year-old ankles anyway. Yes, you do. You want these. This ain't nothing but magic. Look at these knees. You ain't never seen no knees like this. Look at that. hey as soon as they got a they still 47 so when a 27 year old get out there running stop pop oh no no no no no no if if i put these knees and i put these feet on anybody that's in today's nfl man please man please my magic magic they're magic huh what happened what happened here where you got that from yeah they let me hold it yeah yeah they they ain't gonna be moving too fast with some 47-year-old knees and ankles.
1:02:21Hey, Unc, I just timed myself in the 40 the other day, Unc. You won't believe what I ran.
1:02:29Shannon Sharpe:I probably wouldn't, Ocho. What'd you run? I ran a 4-4, Unc. 4-4-7. Oh, that person. 4-4-7, Unc. Right now, that's faster than 73 % of the NFL right now. Ocho. Now, I'm not saying I can play, but the fact that I can run in a straight line that fast at 57, that means something. I don't know, Ojo, if you run for school. But okay, I'm going to take your word for it. You just heard Fred Curley tell you I beat him, Unk. That was just last year when we was training at Tropical Park down here in Miami. I'm telling you, I can go in a straight line. Boy, I'm hell. I'm hell to deal with. I'm going to take your word for it, Ojo.
1:03:09Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. After three weeks with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson in the center, New York Giants may be considering a change. Brian Dayball told reporters today, we just watched the tape here. We're in meetings with players right now. It's not all on one guy. There's multiple reasons why certain plays don't come out the way we wanted them to come out. When pressed about whether that means a quarterback change is on the table, Dayball said, we're evaluating everything. Damn. The Giants initially planned to take their time with Darts' development. However, the team's struggles amid a 4-3 record only made the call for Dart to replace Russell Wilson grow louder.
1:03:50And listen, you called that earlier. You called it earlier. So that eight weeks, that eight weeks might turn into four. That eight weeks might turn into five, depending on how the next two games go. I don't think the ball will go to him this early in the season because do you really want to throw him out there right now and mess with his conscience?
1:04:10Shannon Sharpe:mess up you told me you you told me you can't learn nothing on the bench if i'm losing shouldn't i be losing with the guy and getting him some experience i know one thing also throwing him out there to the wolves like that you know you know you know what you can lose to you got damn confidence you can lose your goddamn confidence as a young rookie quarterback go out there and get beat upside the head if you want to if if i go out if i put him out there ocho and they lose confidence he wasn't a guy for me anyway so i need to see that so i need to see that sooner and later hey well you know how it is though i do understand how it is hey it's always it's already a shit show as it is you're 0-3 certain things aren't going well the offensive line ain't really giving rust the kind of time ample time he needs to be able to orchestrate the offense and then you throw the rookie out there listen he might be able to make some plays he might be flashes of what we saw in the preseason.
1:05:07But them goddamn defenses and exotic stuff and coverages that he's going to see once he gets in there and realize, oh, this ain't the preseason. Oh, it's not as easy as it was back then. Now we're scheming. Now we're trying to... Oh, no. It's different.
1:05:21Shannon Sharpe:But Ocho... It's different. Ocho, on fourth down, rushed through the ball out the end zone. Why would you do that? Don't you want to give your... Okay, even if it's intercepted, you turn the ball over. Don't you want to give your guy at least a chance to make a play on the ball, Ocho? Yeah, you're right. I mean, there's some things a veteran quarterback should understand. I never understood that. A guy on fourth down, he throw the ball in the stands or he throw the ball out of bounds. Well, who gonna catch it over there and gonna get you a completion? Bless you. Right, thank you. You're right.
1:05:54Shannon Sharpe:I just thought when you draft a quarterback and it seems to be the guy that they wanted all along, Right. They weren't sure that he would be there. They seem very ecstatic that they were able to get him when they got it. Yes. You know this, Ocho, when when you start to move teams, because you got to realize this is this is Russ 14 in four years. Right. Now they don't see you as the long term solution. Right. they don't I think and especially if they got a guy if they especially they got they drafted the guy in the first round Ocho you know they see him and they were just hoping we could get a maybe he can give us a year yeah maybe he can just give us a good solid year that's it if anything I would I would I would go to I would go to Jameis I would go to Jameis if you want to make a quarterback change I would go to Jameis and and continue to allow Mahomes did it with Alex Smith you know allow him to continue to develop being able to get those mental reps from the sideline yes until it's time for him to get in there okay you know what once don't close don't close the door already and you just signed james he just signed russell was for one year deals and then had them sitting on the bench you know for no reason in case something goes wrong with jack not wishing any injury on him from that part but i i think if if you're gonna go with russ go with Russ if you're going to make a change make the change to Jameis allow him to get some reps in to see what he can do you know Jameis could be magic for five six weeks in a row you know so I mean I don't know it's unfortunate I've always felt that Jackson and Dart was going to start sooner rather than later especially if they started out this is the worst situation that could have possibly happened is that you're 0-3 and you know that fan base you know the articles that they write, you know talk radio, what they say.
1:07:53They impatient. It's – I just didn't see him surviving.
1:08:01Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Given that team, I didn't see him being able to put together enough wins to keep Jackson Dart on the bench for the entire season. That's it. All that – I mean, we can say whatever we want, but I just didn't see with that team, with the offensive line, that they were going to be able to win enough games. And, you know, I gave you the schedule last night. It is not easy. Yeah, at all. It is not easy. I mean, they got the Eagles twice in a three-week span. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy.
1:08:37Shannon Sharpe:I don't know, Joe. I mean, Brian Dayball, it seems to be losing. Look, here's the thing. if I'm day ball let me tell you why I go uh go Jackson Dart I drafted him I don't want somebody else to coach him right because guess what's gonna happen Ocho they're gonna fire my ass after this year if this thing don't get turned around oh it's kind of like you put you put somebody through college and then all of a sudden like you don't get to reap the benefits right you got to be able to reap some benefits from this he's like I developed this guy I like this guy I really got him and then i don't and somebody else is coaching him and and the funny the funny thing about it is it not only is somebody else is coaching him whatever coach they do bring in what if he's not their guy who jackson dark yeah when you come in and they got a first round draft pick he's your guy because they're going to ask you what can you do what type of system that you can make sure he flourishes in okay because that's the first thing i want to know because he's the guy we just took quarterback in the first round, Ocho.
1:09:43Shannon Sharpe:We're not really trying to go do that. We believe he's got. So now, because remember, how he got the job. He was the quarterback whisperer. So I need another quarterback whisperer to come in. Josh McDaniels, how does he keep getting jobs? Oh, he can work with young quarterbacks, remember? He got the job in the Colts, because he was going to work with him. If I'm not mistaken, it was going to be Andrew Luck. Turn that down. And then he go get the Raiders job. He's going to be able to work with the Derek Carr. So when you get the judge, look, whomever's coming in, you go to, they're going to ask you, how are you going to work?
1:10:26Shannon Sharpe:How are you going to get maximized Jackson Dart? What type of offense are you going to run? How quarterback friendly is it? Offense, what type of offense is this? That's what they're going to want to know, Ocho. They just lost to the Chiefs. They're at home at the chart. They got, they at home versus the Chargers, and then they're at the Saints, then they're at home versus the Eagles, at Broncos, at Eagles, home versus the 49ers, at the Bears, home versus the Packers, at the Lions. Boy, that's heavy. Hey, that's heavy. And the funny thing about it is, is Dave Ball, I'm not sure if he's on the hot seat, but if he is on the hot seat.
1:11:05Absolutely. Oh, but listen, he going to make a quarterback change rather sooner than later. because guess how he got oh joe get coaches fired you know that huh yes i do remember how he got the
1:11:17Shannon Sharpe:job because he was supposed to work magic with who daniel jones yeah so that was a they saw what he was doing with josh allen big kid daniel jones six four six five got nice legs can run can move mobile. I can move the pocket. I can design runs. Just quarter, hey, hey, I can do the same thing for Jackson Dart. Hey, well, listen, if anything, you better make a move now. You better make a move now. Listen, to be able to buy yourself some time if you're on the hot seat. Yeah, he's on the hot seat for sure. Listen, if you continue to lose games standing ground on Russ, you already know what's going to happen.
1:12:03Yes. If you wait too long and you don't have any type of success this season you out the dough yeah yeah so if i'm if i'm if i'm
1:12:15Shannon Sharpe:gonna if i'm lead look i want to go down my way yeah my way is that we got a quarterback that we took in the first round i believe we can coach him up oh can you do any worse the worst thing you could do in nfl is lose i'm losing with a guy russ is not going to be here next year Right. Do you believe Russell will be on this roster next year? No, sir. Do you believe Jackson Dart will be on this roster next year? Yes, sir. So you probably should go ahead and play him. Right. I mean, Ochoa, look.
1:12:48Shannon Sharpe:You took the guy. They wanted the guy. Yeah. I just don't see Saquon's gone. I mean, look at what Saquon's doing and did in Philly. Look at what type of success Daniel Jones. And maybe it's the Giants organization. Maybe it's top to bottom. Maybe they're not putting in an environment where they can succeed. I mean, well, that's hard to say when Eli Manning was successful, being able to win two Super Bowls. They got more talent then than they'd have now. And, you know, Brandon Jacobs running the ball. I think Tiki, I think they had Tiki running the ball. So they had a nice little thing going, Brandon Jennings.
1:13:37Shannon Sharpe:And then I forget the other guy. What was the other guy's name? 44, running back. I forget his name. Ma Brashaw. Yeah, Ma Brashaw, yes, yes, yes. Look at that defense. I mean, they got some nice defensive linemen. I mean, you know, Stray ain't walking through that door. Tuck, O.C., they're not walking through that door. Pierce, they had a nice little squad.
1:14:04Shannon Sharpe:Right now, this is not going to get it done. It's really that simple. And you look at that schedule. Guys, Chargers, Saints, Eagles, Broncos, Eagles, Niners, Bears, Packers, Lions. Well, that's a horrible gauntlet to have to go through. Yeah, Victor Cruz, Plexico. I mean, look, they got some big look. And I think the thing is also, Ojo, people are looking like, man,
1:14:31Malik Nabors had all those catches last year, all those yards.
1:14:36Shannon Sharpe:And the quarterback supposedly wasn't near as good as what we got now. Right. Why this man got four, five catches? Why this man can't find ways to get him the ball? You got to look at that. Yeah. Because that's what the fans are looking at. man he was one of the top receivers now he just looked they got the man looking like a guy and we know he's anything but nah absolutely yeah he's not that
1:15:04hey that you know what that also falls on the offensive coordinator too um well that's Brian Dayball that falls on him because you know obviously as a rookie you're going to surprise everybody can you still have the same success when they know you're That all comes down to officer coordinator putting your players in position to make the plays. It's simple. Every other team that has a number one receiver, they do it extremely well. The Ram duo, Pukunakua. Goddamn Tampa doing it right now with Emeka Obuka. It's possible.
1:15:45Shannon Sharpe:I don't know, Ocho. I might be tempted to start him at home. get a fan something to cheer for? I'm really tempted to start him at home because do I really want to start him on the road in New Orleans? I damn sure don't want to start him. I damn sure don't want to start him against the Eagles. You don't want to start him on the road against the Broncos because the one thing the Broncos can do, they can get after your quarterback. After your quarterback, yeah. Then at the Eagles, 49ers.
1:16:17Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I'm real tempted to start him this week. I really am. Look, I would love for it to be perfect, Ocho. We have a game. We have the bye. I give them an extra week to prepare. That would be ideal. Right. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm curious when they get to practice Wednesday, I'm curious of who's taking the first team reps. that will tell us all we need to know I don't know if we're going to get the opportunity to know that oh we're going to we're going to know I fly to New York tomorrow you ain't going to be able to see the practice no no but I'm flying to New York tomorrow to do something with Malik Neighbors oh okay okay Wednesday so you know I'm going to be nosy I have to go to the Inter-Miami New York FC MLS game and what I'm doing is for FIFA well EAFC 26 and Malik Nabors is with me.
1:17:18So, you know, I'm going to be nosy. You know, I'm going to ask him. I'm going to ask, what do you think the problem is?
1:17:25Shannon Sharpe:Earlier today, Darius Slayton preached patience with Jackson Dart whenever the Giants decide to turn him over as starting quarterback. He's talented. He's shown himself to be able to learn fast. I think he's capable of being a good NFL quarterback. If we have a lackluster performance, give him some time. Give him some grace. Don't show up and boo him in a game or two if he doesn't do well. I expect him to do well. But I'm just saying it might not. Give him time to grow. Give us time to gel. Let him be an NFL quarterback. Let him figure it out what that is. Give him a chance to become a good quarterback.
1:17:57Shannon Sharpe:That's something that I feel Daniel Jones probably didn't get a chance to become a good NFL quarterback, which is something Jackson Dart, which that's something that I hope Jackson Dart will get a chance to do if he does get the opportunity to play. Man, look here, bro. It's always going to be up to down. Just, Ocho, people are not patient anymore. Those days are over. When you can get a quarterback, Ocho, you groom him. Think about it. Steve Young sat behind Joe Montana, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, for five years. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brent Favre for three years. Yeah. That ain't happening no more.
1:18:42Shannon Sharpe:No. It's not. is too much money involved. Right. Because you take a guy in the first round, Ochoa's contract fully guaranteed. So you don't guarantee the guy$20 million. Now by the third year, I got to make a decision. Am I about to give this guy$300 million? Yeah. So I've got to find out. Think about it. Jordan Love. Jordan Love saw for two years. The third year, after he played his third year, Ochoa, they got to break him off. Yeah. So the days of sitting Because the quarterbacks weren't making that kind of money Money, exactly Nah, money's done coming to play Bro, you gotta get out there and learn You gotta learn on the job Hey, you gotta learn on the job Like they do infants When infants go swimming, take swimming lessons Throw them out there in the water
