Nightcap Hour 1: Texans Defense DESTROYS the Bills + CeeDee Lamb CONFESSES to BREAKING CURFEW + George Pickens CONTRACT LOOMING + AJ Brown SNEAK DISSES Saquon?!

21:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but not the night. This was an interesting game. Hey, this was a very good game. Ocho, Bill's old line, they kicked your ass. They kicked your ass. Now, I think the right tackle ended up getting bent. Now, I didn't see him get hurt, but I know they had a right tackle adjustment. Yeah. And Dawkins, who's their best offensive lineman, he got work tonight. It happens. It happens to the best of us. We've all had moments in games where we, hey, I was this, and Ocho, you've been that, and somebody get the best of us. As a unit, offensive line pass, bro. They got work. They got work. They get a number on y 'all.

22:04Shannon Sharpe:They work overtime on y 'all ass. Yeah. They whip y 'all ass like y 'all owe them money. Now, I'm not sure if somebody made – I don't know what went on. But when you do somebody like that, you whipping them like they owe you money. Absolutely. Not the red dude, nah, he owe me money. I'm going to whip his ass. Boy, they gave him work. Yeah. Will Anderson, I will say this. There was a 3rd and 13, I think a 3rd and 12, 13 situation. You've got to relay to your defensive tackle. If you go inside, you've got to tell him to loop. You both can't get inside because you both went inside, and guess what happened?

22:42Shannon Sharpe:Josh Allen went outside and got the first down. The back door open, yeah. You cannot do that. You've got to relay that. I know you're quick, and I know, like, ooh, I got his ass set up. I done been beating him around the edge. You've kind of been beating him all. You beat him around the edge one time. Next time, you spin him inside. So you was having your way with him. But I'm just saying, for future reference, you've got to be careful at that. You've got to communicate with your DT. Hey, bro, check this out. Hey, I'm going to cross his face. You bubble outside. Yeah. I see. You know what? They've got to communicate.

23:16Matter of fact, that's a stunt, huh? And if you call it a stunt, it has to be called in the huddle. They can't just make that up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

23:25Shannon Sharpe:We can make it up. You think so? If I'm D 'Amico Ryan, I trust Will Anderson. Okay, okay, okay. I trust him enough that I'm going to give him the leeway. I'm going to give him the latitude. But I need him to convey that with the DT. The D-tackle? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, bro, check this out. We're going to run an ET. Yeah. In, down, tackle, around. Hey, listen, when they can go on their own script like that, on their own page, off script based on what's called, and they can communicate that and then make the play? Yes. Hey. Because now we got him boxed in. Because, look, I want you to go up the field.

24:00Shannon Sharpe:Because I'm going inside, and if he see you up the field, he's going to dive inside. That'll give me enough opportunity that I can get him. Right. And if you come out the back, though, you'll be right there waiting on him. Hey, you right there. That was the only thing defensively that I would say, because I thought they played a perfect game tonight. Yes, absolutely. Look, like I said, we can nitpick the guy playing from depth. Because when Shakur goes in that short motion, and you bring pressure, he bubbles out the backside. you got him one on one. He is a punt returner. The number one job as a punt returner is to make the first guy miss.

24:39Shannon Sharpe:Hey, the first guy, you make him miss. Now, he's looking at you like the punter. They said, we got everybody else blocked. What you got to do to the punter? Make him miss. So that's how he's looking at you with all that space? Yeah, you're not tackling nobody. It's not happening. They're too fast. They're too quick. As a matter of fact, if the punt returner, whoever it is, like someone like Shakur, Shakur's not a burner. No, no, no, no. But listen, he's agile. His lateral movement is phenomenal. And it don't matter who you are. He's making the first man miss. Yes. Yes. So you just got to understand that, Ojo.

25:18Shannon Sharpe:You got to understand, if I got this man man to man and they bring pressure, I've got to close the distance. It's the same thing like if a blitzer. If a blitzer is coming from depth, what I got to do is that I got to close the distance. Because if I let him come with a head of steam, I don't give a damn how good a blocker I am. He going to sit me in the quarterback lap. I give a prime example. Look at N 'Kobe Dean. David Montgomery is a really good blocker. Yes. But he let Dean get a head start. Yeah. He, pow, boom, sacked the quarterback. Yeah. So that's the thing. The number one rule, and Chad, I'm trying to explain to you because I used to have to block from the backfield.

25:56Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Hey, number one rules are A-Sharpie. You got to close the distance. So guess what? I'm going to meet your ass in the A-gap. I'm not going to let you get no head of Steve Ochoa. I'm going to close in that distance. Hey, I'm not going to let you get no running start. If I'm flat-footed Ochoa, I'll let you get a running start. How the hell am I supposed to stop that? That man 230, 240, he got a running start. I'll just say for the sake of argument, a running back 210, 215. So 240 with a running start. a 210, 215 running back, flat footed, he going to sit you on your ass. Listen, I – Every time.

26:29Yep, I don't care what the laws of physics say. I don't care how low you get. You going to lose that battle every single time. As a DB, as a DB, and you see Shakur bubble before he get that ball, not only do you got to close the distance, you got to close it aggressively, and you got to shoot right away. You got to shoot for the legs right away.

26:53Shannon Sharpe:inside out. Yes. And it's going to be hard because the thing is, Ocho, is that you're coming down. I mean, how far he was, he's coming down with all that space because there ain't nobody over there but him. Oh, Lord, please don't let him go. Damn, he threw this ball. Oh, Lord. Lord, come on.

27:15Shannon Sharpe:Listen, you know what's funny? If you haven't closed the distance before he get that ball in his hands, you assed out. and then you can do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you done. Hey, you like the grandma Thanksgiving dinner. She start cooking that thing Wednesday early. So by 3 o 'clock, hey, by 3 o 'clock, are we eating at 3 o 'clock? Yeah. Because that's when all my uncles and aunts would go come over. Oh, that thing going to be done. That thing falling off the bone too. But the Texas defense, that was, that was might have been as impressive. And we've seen, you know, we've seen some, the Broncos get nine sacks and stuff like that.

27:50Shannon Sharpe:But against that guy, after what he's just done and who he is, to sack him eight times, to pressure him as many times as he did, coming off the game that he came off of, Ocho, we're not going to touch on it.

28:09But Keon Coleman.

28:10Shannon Sharpe:They could have used him tonight. You got your work cut out getting back on the field. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Now, I got something. I got something for Keto. What do you got for? I don't really think he got his work caught up for him. Because if you think about it, tonight's game, because the goddamn defense was so good, what did the Bills have to do all night? They had to go down the field methodically. Yes. They had to go little by little. There weren't no big chunk plays. Now, what is Keon Coleman really good at? Giving you opportunities to have those 50-50 balls. Yeah, that's it.

28:45Sometimes when it's him out there, them 50-50 balls, they turned to 80-20. They turned to 90-10. So his ability to give you chunk plays and then get you 40, 50 yards, they could have used that tonight. Let me ask your question. Who do you think he beaten, Stingley or Lassiter? I mean, listen, Stingley and Lassiter, you know who has the height advantage? Keon Coleman, 6 '4". He's out jumping both of them.

29:13Shannon Sharpe:But the thing is, his problem is, is that if it's not in the red zone and I can't use my athletic ability to get over you. Because see, his problem is getting off press. It's hard. Ocho, it's hard to jump when somebody got these in your chest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. You're right. Listen, Lassiter is the real deal, too. We always hype up Stingley. You know, Woody can do it, especially in Bumper Run. But that goddamn Lassiter? Yeah. Ain't no stop. Gabe Davis was just close. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Getting that foot in. He was this close. Yeah. Yeah. He was this close because we know Josh, he loves throwing the game Davis now.

29:54Shannon Sharpe:It's not an accident. I mean, sometimes it's just, you know, he got paid. He went to Jacksonville. He was there a year. Yeah. He comes back and he's, you know, right back in the swing of things with Josh Allen. It's like that sometimes, Ocho. Alvin Harper had the same situation with Vendalas. Got big money to go to Tampa. hey let me tell you something now it's a different ball game when you that when you that one if you really let me hey if you're really not who you think you are and you don't have that support cast around you and you're the main man you can get exposed you hear me hey it it gets it it gets a it get real get real iffy when you number one when you that number one guy but but another thing.

30:42Shannon Sharpe:What gets iffy when you number two and they pay you to be number one and all of a sudden you have to be number one. That's what gets iffy. It ain't easy. How many times we've seen, and I ain't going to call him a name, but y 'all know what you're talking about. He played with Pittsburgh. He's with AB. Oh, yeah. They let AB go. Hey, it's different. Now all of a sudden, all the attention is going to be on you. Now you get, so now you get rammed. Now you get everybody's number one corner. Yeah, it's different. it's different it's different but but but offensively for keon coleman there there there is a there is a space for you there's a niche that you can do where you can add an explosive dynamic to where the bills don't have to march down the goddamn field over and over josh allen doesn't have to play superman and be accurate on every single throw on all the all the short and intermediate routes.

31:36You can add that special dynamic of explosive plays to help that offense out. So, Young Bull, get yourself together, lock in, and let's finish this season off strong. Ain't a whole lot of defenses they're going to face that's the Houston Texans. It's only two others. It's only two others. The only two other defenses that are similar to that, that put up that type of production statistically defensively, is the Browns and the goddamn Broncos. That's it. That's it.

32:04Shannon Sharpe:And two of the three you might have to face in the playoffs. Yeah. Now, I know the Colts are going to do everything they can to try to make sure they don't make the playoffs. Yeah. Because if I get an opportunity, hey, I'm killing that with a sledgehammer. I'm going to make sure your ass don't get in the playoffs. Because damn, I don't want you to knock me out. Because I know – and they got two times. The Colts got to play – if I'm not mistaken, I think the Colts have to play the Texans twice in the final seven games. Go ahead. And the funny thing about it, goddamn Tregevius Ward is coming back.

32:33Mm-hmm. Brother Ward is coming back. So now they got – I mean, they got a good – they got Sauce, Ward, shoot, Lassiter, Stingley. They need Buck to come back, though. That's going to be nice, huh? They need – the Colts need Buck.

32:46Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's wrong with him? They put him on IR, huh? Yeah, I think he – I don't know if it was his shoulder. I don't know what the injury was, Ocho, but he's the key to that defense. Yeah. Because he's the guy, I mean, that can generate pressure inside, a D-tackle that can be good against the run. He can pass rush. So he's going to be the key to that defense. Yeah, you want Ward. You're pairing with Sauce Gardner. The offense, hey, you got Jonathan Taylor, who's in the MVP, Offensive Player of the Year running. They've got a nice offense. They got some peers, and they got Pittman Jr.

33:23Shannon Sharpe:They got Warren. So they got good pieces offensively. But boy, hey, this night, what the Texans put on tape tonight, Like, that was a good old-fashioned ass whipping. Not only was it an ass-whooping, they put on a defensive clinic. Hey, again, Kalen Bullock, boy, if you see this, boy, I salute you, boy. I salute you. Real deal. Well, hey, that'll, hey. Will Anderson was like, Oprah, you get an ass whipping. You get an ass whipping. You get an ass whipping. Hey, hey, I'm whipping ass over here. Who wants her? Matter of fact, you know what? I'm glad you just said that because not only is he going to get a payday, he's going to be the next defense in to reset the market.

34:11He's that good. He's that special. He's everything he was advertised to be coming out of Alabama. Yep. He's lived up to every bit of the hype. He's going to reset the market.

34:25Shannon Sharpe:He's special, young. They're going to have some decisions to make. CJ Stroud, he's 38.

34:38Shannon Sharpe:Anderson, that's not a bad situation. I mean, look, they traded Deshaun. See, that's what you do. If you move on from a player, you hit with those picks. CJ, Anderson, you look at what they got. I think Nico Collins was one of those picks. Hey, when you start, hey, Ochoa, when you start, like, okay, yeah, now we hit. But you also understand how difficult it is to make sure you hit. There have been other teams. Not to hit all of them. I mean, they hit it out the park. That's a grand slam. Every last pick turned out great. Turned out great. You got foundation pieces that you can have for the next decade.

35:15Shannon Sharpe:The next decade. But, boy, the number they did on the Bills tonight, and the Bills are a very good offensive team. But they got their ass handed. The whole line got their ass handed to them tonight. They got their ass handed to them. Cook ran the ball hard. I'm surprised that the success that they had running the football, they didn't run a little more. I mean, that ain't enough, Ocho. I mean, hold on. Y 'all mean to see? Hold on. Let me see what this – Wait, in that second quarter when he – James Cook had 17 rushes, 116 yards. So they had 24 carries for$1.43. Mm-hmm. Most of that yardage came on that one long run.

35:53Yes, but he was getting five, six, seven yards a clip on Joe.

35:58Shannon Sharpe:At some point in time, I have to come to the realization, yes, I want to throw the ball, but our offensive line getting their ass handed to him. Yeah, you're right. Well, listen, if your offensive line getting their ass whooped, the chance of running the ball is slim. But he, hey, that's what do you do with running the ball? It's the pass sense that was, when you got those guys, because you got to realize they're jumping off the rock. Yeah, they're getting off. Now, I will say this, and I think D 'Amico made one mistake. They had an ineligible man down the field, and he declined it. Bro, I'm not declining nothing for the one with Josh Allen.

36:30Shannon Sharpe:Oh. No, hell no. Back y 'all ass up. Because what did they do, Ocho? Go for it and get the first down. Yeah. So you have to understand who that is over there. He's 6 '5", 250, and he's going to do what he just did. Hey, whoop, whoop, first down. Yeah, every time. But, man, hey, they did an unbelievable job. The Houston Texans were 3-5 when they lost C.J. Stroud to concussion protocol. Davis Mill has done his job. Ocho, he's held the fort down. Now they're 3-0 getting ready to make this tough stretch. My tweet, my guy, oh, man, sorry, I don't even know the ref's name, but it looks like he popped in the Achilles.

37:14Shannon Sharpe:The ref? The ref. So now we got, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on now. We got players getting hurt. Yeah. Non-contact injuries. Now we got the refs going down. Yeah. And then my college teammate, Stump, we call him Stump. His name is Roy Ellison. He was the center. My freshman year, he was a senior. Kind of took me under his wing. And I talked to him from time to time. But to see him step in and step up. So now you ain't got no referee because the umpire, Stump is an umpire. Right, right. He's repped in three Super Bowl. He's umpired in three Super Bowls. So now he goes to the referee slot. Thought he did an unbelievable job.

37:54Shannon Sharpe:So, hey, Stump, I know you're going to see this. SSU, we pride, baby. College by the sea. You can get anywhere from here. Hey, um, now that I think about it, hey, what you think about me being a referee in the NFL? You got to go through the steps. You're not going to go through the steps now. You're not going to go through high school football, then college football. Because Stump went through, he started the high school football. Then he went to college football. and then my last year in the league. Right, right. I was looking at the sheet because, you know, we get the big sheet on children. I'm looking up like, look at the reference.

38:29Shannon Sharpe:I was like, Roy Ellison. I said, I know a Roy Ellison. Right, right, right. And it just happened to be him. Yeah, I went to school with a Roy Ellison. Right. So I'm running on the field. Sean. Sean. I said, Sean. Hey. Bye, dog. Hey, hey, hey. Now that I think about it, you know, everybody's not made equal. You know, depending, it's all on who you know, you know, in life. You know that, right? It's all about. Even if you don't go to high school route, they're going to want you to go to collegiate route. Okay. So like PWI, I could be the referee like an Alabama game. I don't know who. I don't know if the referee, you probably got to start.

39:04Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. Damn. So you just want to start as the referee. Cause you do know a lot of these, these referees started out as something other than referees. Yeah. But I don't think they, this me, this me. I play, I played the game, you know? At the highest level. Ed Hockley's son, I don't know if he started out as a ref, but he's Sean Hockley. You remember Ed Hockley had his arms out? Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember Ed was cool. Ed was cool. His son is an official. Hey, well, I don't know. I could just see me out there in that ref, man, with the little zebra shirt with the whistle. Nah, they're not going to let you do it.

39:45Shannon Sharpe:Why? Because you're friends with too many guys in the NFL. I ain't friend with them, not on the field. They don't know that. Off the field, we cool. On the field, a straight face. Straight face, I'm locked in. You done mingled with two videos. Holding number 64. 10-yard penalty. Replay, second down. They gonna pass on you.

44:33Shannon Sharpe:There was plenty of speculation to why the Cowboys star receivers, C.D. Lamb and George Pickens, were benched for the opening drive against the Raiders. C.D. confirmed the rumors that he and Pickens had been out past curfew, having dinner and a few drinks at Red Rock Casino. And I'm right by the crib. C.D., you should have hit your boy up. I'd have came out with y 'all. However, CD made sure to shoot down any claim that he was seen throwing up around 7.30 a.m. CD said such a claim was offensive to him because he knows how to hold his liquor. Ocho. Yeah. What's up? Hey. Hey, Unc. This what they do to Ocho?

45:10Hey, but shoot. Hey, Unc. I'm going to be honest with you, boy. Not me personally, but it was a lot of folk late during my time either. I'm not one. I ain't no snitch. you know i ain't gonna do that nothing like that you know if if i'm ever in the chair i'm gonna just plead the fifth you know but i didn't seen it happen now now it's a little bit different because we got cameras everywhere everywhere technology is a little different so when we played didn't nobody know because there wasn't nobody to tell unless somebody close to you snitched on you yep or you told yourself by actually showing up late and most of the time that was kept in the house.

45:46Now, boy, everybody can see.

45:49Shannon Sharpe:Because he got them camera phones. Because even when you try to go out like, hey, can I get a picture? I said, nah, I'm just trying to pee in the way low. Yeah, somebody going to know. Because you going to post it. And if you don't give them a picture, they'll get mad and tweet, guess who I just saw? He acted like an asshole. Bro, how you ghost me? How you gave up my position? It's like the guy that went to the Airbnb and he left a negative rating. The guy that owned the Airbnb sent the photo to his wife of him going to the Airbnb with another woman. But that's real? Yes! That wasn't no Netflix show or that's real life?

46:31Real life. Oh, hell, hell, hell. You got to see. You got to see.

46:38Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you done messed up my man. Hey, he got to get these dum-dums. What? Yeah, but you don't know. Yeah, you don't messed up my marriage on the counter. It wasn't me, but it was you No, hold on. You say you messed up my Airbnb. Give me this bull job rating Now people they don't want to come to my spot. Hey, that's the true meaning of a eye for an eye. Yeah But Ocho the thing is if you in the wrong Why would you even why would you even do that? Why would you leave a negative rating? Right? Because for one, you didn't think you would stoop that low. You didn't think he would stoop that low. I mean, I'm thinking like most of these Airbnbs got cameras, right?

47:18Shannon Sharpe:Ooh. At bare minimum. You can't handle camera in Airbnb. At worst case, a ring camera. Oh, a ring camera, yes. Okay, yeah, you're right. So how you go get in? Yeah. Okay, you're right. So with that. But you see, hey, Keon, you see the difference? CD and Pickens was out past curfew, having a dinner and a few drinks. They missed a series. You missed two games. There's levels. You're not at that level yet. Hey, Keith, we going to get you there, boy. Come on, let your boy in the offseason. I'm telling you, boy, we going to get you right. You hear me? Let's go.

47:59Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, me? Man, I'm sleepy. I'm tired. Hey, my thing is, Ocho, after we have a meeting, you know, we have our individual meetings, Then we have the team meeting. Mike going to play a video. He going to play the top plays from last week. We'll have a little music to it. And then, you know, he going to give us our speech, what he expect, blah, blah, blah. And then we go get, you know, a meal. Ocho, I'm trying to go to bed. I ain't got it in me. Yeah, see, you're a little different. You old school with Ochoa. You're a little structure. You got a little discipline when it came to your approach. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

48:36The players today, they're a little bit more relaxed. I want to be out. I want to enjoy myself. I want to have a nice little meal. See what's out there. We in Vegas. You hear me?

48:48Shannon Sharpe:I might have tried to shake the covers, Bodak. Yeah? Hold on. No, before a game? Nah. I can't do that. Listen, my cutoff was Wednesday. My cutoff was Wednesday. If I don't catch you between Sunday and Wednesday. Oh, no, I can't do nothing with you. I don't want no type of... I don't want no lactic acid build-up. I don't want no spaghetti legs. So you got to get that work in between that. I cut off with two hours for the game.

49:25Shannon Sharpe:How about cut off? Two hours for the game.

49:37Oh, hey, hold on. Yeah, yeah. But you ain't had no legs. You out there running with no legs.

49:45Shannon Sharpe:Nah, hey, nah, old Joe. You remember the movie Free Willy? Yeah. How Willy came up out that pool? Yeah. That's me. Free Willy. I had plenty legs. I think that's a misnomer. You think so? I think so. I don't know, boy. I don't know. Because I didn't, nah, I don't think so. I had a couple, I know for sure I had a couple of real big games. Real, real, real big ones. Absolutely. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm not, listen, I'm not. Like 160, 160, 180, 120, you know, 150, a couple of tools. Yeah, yeah. Right, right, right. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm not even superstitious. I'm not even superstitious, but I just understand that feeling of horizontal activity and then finishing and having to stand up and oh shoot and just being a little wobbly you know not being in my right state of mind but damn the equilibrium must be off so yeah I don't play like that I don't play like I don't play like that you see the position I don't play like that either Don't you?

51:06Shannon Sharpe:But man, nah, but in all seriousness, don't you? I'm like, man, in today's time, well, like you say, the technology, the way it is. Yeah. You can't do nothing. Somebody sees you. It's just hard. It's hard to get away. CD and them owned it. Hey, Jerry gonna tell Pickett to go out anytime he want to after that performance. because that's one of the best performers he's seen. Matter of fact, with the way they playing in general as a 1A and 1B, man, y 'all go ahead and do what you need to do. Do what you need to do. As long as you show up the way you've been showing up on the field, man, we good. We good.

51:45Shannon Sharpe:Just don't let nobody see y 'all. Don't let nobody see y 'all going out. Yeah, that's it. That's it. And when you come in coming through the back, though, George Pickens hopes his first season is not his last. Pickens said, I'd love to be back, especially with CD and Dak, all the guys, really. Pickens is the fourth and final year of his rookie contract that he signed with the Steelers at the second round in 2022. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March. Pickens has 908 receiving yards through 10 games, the most through the first 10 games of a player's tenure in Dallas franchise history.

52:23Shannon Sharpe:He's second in receiving yards. Ocho, I know you want Pick to chase the bag. Would you be content if Pick stayed in Dallas? Man, listen, hold on. I want to talk about these stats real quick now. I want people to understand and understand how special George Pickens is, right? George Pickens is second in receiving yards, 908. He only got 58 catches. Yeah. He only got 58 catches, man. So that's that's letting you know he's doing more with less. You know, so let's start there. Now, George Pickens coming back to Dallas. I like the idea. I like the idea. Right. You know, Pickens. CeeDee Lamb. That that Prescott, we understand how special, especially with them having a year removed, going into a second year on how special they can be offensively.

53:24But I understand Dak has to get done again. I understand that. I understand that.

53:29Shannon Sharpe:They'll do Dak again. They're not going to let Dak know. I think Dak number is down to like$70,$75 million cap here. So they'll redo Dak again. Right. Probably give him another four-year, five-year deal, make it like$300 million. And they'll give him, you know, at the time of signing, they'll give him$100 million. and he'll get, I mean, he got guaranteed right now$229 million. So he'll get another deal, probably$250 million guaranteed. But is Dak willing to take less to make sure George Piggins gets what he deserves, to make sure he gets close to his value? Because he's not going to get anywhere near close to his value if he stays in Dallas.

54:09I would love for him to stay in Dallas. He would be great there offensively in what he can do based on what he's putting on display right now. I love it. I love the idea. I just understand when it comes to getting your first contract, your first big contract, most of the time, unless you that guy, like that guy guy, they've already paid CeeDee Lamb. Yep. You know? So based on where he is right now, he would supposed to be, if he was elsewhere, he would overlap CeeDee Lamb's contract. Correct. He would overlap it. But he won't be able to do and get a true value because he's staying in Dallas. So does he want to take a discount and say, you know what, I'm going to stay here.

54:49I'm going to take less to stay here in Dallas and be productive here, or do I want to go somewhere else? Now, whatever he chooses to do, that's on him. But I'm going to have a conversation with David Mulangueta, and we're going to sit down and we're going to talk, and we're going to see what type of plan we're going to put together for Pick and see what's best for him for our foreseeable future. Now, Dallas Cowboys fans, I love y 'all. I love what Pick brings to the table but don't be selfish don't be selfish you should want what's best for Pick too yes being with the Dallas Cowboys that's what you want because you're a Dallas Cowboy fan but what's best for George Pickens his family and his long term let's think about him long term you know and being able to set up not just his kids but his grandkids kids you know if he can get that done in Dallas I'm all for it

55:42Shannon Sharpe:I think the thing is, Ocho, they, you know, they do, they redo Dak. That'll take, that'll take 30 million off the cap right there to make his cap, to bring his cap number down. Yeah. They'll probably do something, restructure, give CDs money and a signing bonus. Yeah. That'll take more money off the cap. Okay. Now we talking. So I think, I think I could, I could, I see him getting a deal somewhere. five years 180 million okay yeah okay okay okay we cooking okay we cooking I can see that we cooking now the problem is now see we think insensible me and you think insensible the chat they think insensible especially any Cowboys fans that's in the chat you know I love y 'all too I love y 'all don't think I'm hating I love y 'all but is Jerry going to think sensible?

56:39Yeah. Is he going to think sensible? Now, we know how Jerry Jones is when it comes to when it's time to pay. You understand that? Now, is George Pinkett going to have the patience to deal with that bullshit Jerry like to do making you wait to the last goddamn minute? I don't know. We understand the issues that Jerry Jones has had with David Mulageta in the past.

57:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Is he going to have the patience to want to deal with the bull drive that Jerry going to put him through? So there's other dynamics that come into play, you know, where Moologetta might want to tell Pick, man, listen, we ain't got time for this shit. Oh, my bad. I'm sorry. We ain't got time for this. I think because Pick got an edge to him. Yeah. I think Pick has a lot of on the field and how he goes about his business on the field has a lot of Michael Urban in him. Yeah. We know what Jerry thought of Michael. Yes, sir. What he thinks of Michael. So I think he would probably lean towards probably getting something done that's going to everybody.

57:42Because he realized now he traded for Mingo.

57:46Shannon Sharpe:Mingo ain't seen the field yet. Yeah. I think he's been a healthy scratch the last couple of times. Remember, they traded a fourth-round pick to Carolina to get Mingo. He's finally got a guy. He's finally got a guy. Yeah. That's comparable to CD. It's hard to get a guy comparable to your number one. Yeah. He can fight him tooth and nail. Big, great hands. Make tough catches. Tremendous run after the catch. Very good. Big, big body receiver. Mm-hmm. Jerry realized those guys don't grow on trees. Absolutely not. And we got him in our home. The best thing to do when you got him in your home, Mocho, is what?

58:26Shannon Sharpe:Don't let him leave. Don't let him leave. Don't let him leave. He's on pace for 99 receptions, 1 ,544 yards and 12 touchdowns. Dak is the only team in the NFL this season to have featured top five player in passing, rushing, and receiving yards. Dak is fifth in passing yards. Javante Williams is fifth in rushing yards. Pick is second in receiving yards. Man. So think about all the offense they got and look where they are. Because why? The defense. Yeah. Defense got to pick it up. Now, we'll see if they can replicate what they did. They got the Eagles. We'll see if they can replicate what they did.

59:06Shannon Sharpe:They went out and made it. They let Michael Parsons. They traded Michael Parsons to get Kenny Clark and Quinny Williams. That's what Aiden said, look, we got to stop the run. Clark is more of a run stuffer. Quinny Williams can play the run, but he's more of a pass rushing DT. You got Clowney. You got Fowler. You got Williams. You got some guys that you got a Diggie Zua that you paid a lot of money to. He's still there. So we're going to see. We're going to see. The Eagles, we're going to see what the Eagles, we're going to see what the Eagles, because you're going to need to establish the run.

59:44Shannon Sharpe:You're on the road. Yeah. See if Saquon can get loose. Looks like Lane Johnson is going to be out. They're going to have their backup in there. We'll see. He says, hey, I want to make a name for myself. Lane Johnson is that stone. He is what he is. one of the great linemen in history. Now is my time to get an opportunity to show you what I'm capable of. So it's going to be very, very interesting. But pick everything. I don't know what Jerry thought he was going to be when he traded for him, but he has to have been everything that Jerry had hoped for and more. Absolutely.

1:00:21Shannon Sharpe:uh uh was there ever a great a teammate that you fought to keep on the team man tj man who's who's i mean that i you know i hate the dirty side of the business but you know it is a business i i wanted who's to stay yeah you know i i thought i thought that that that that chemistry we had and going being from oregon state and going from oregon state being drafted to the Bengals. I mean, I wanted that continuity to stay throughout the entirety of my career, but obviously things didn't go that way. I mean, that's about the only person. That's about the only person. They didn't really ask me. They didn't really ask me.

1:01:02Shannon Sharpe:I mean, as I got older, I think once I went there and came back, I think Mike valued my opinion on what I thought of certain guys, but But for me, hey, you make your own decisions. Yeah. I'm going home. And guess what? And when I come back in the spring for OTAs and they're here, I guess they moved on. Right. It's called soccer. It's called football. Soccer. Football.
