In short
Nightcap Hour 1 reaction to the Philadelphia Eagles beating the Dallas Cowboys 24-20 in Week 1, with focus on CeeDee Lamb’s multiple dropped passes, Jalen Carter’s ejection for spitting at Dak Prescott, and Eagles offensive/defensive concerns after a lightning delay.
Guests
Uncle Shannon Sharpe (Chad Ochocinco’s co-host; former NFL player, Hall of Fame–level receiver background) and Chad Ochocinco Johnson (former NFL wide receiver; Bengals legend). They discuss from a player’s perspective.
Key claims
- Jalen Carter’s spit was “uncalled for,” likely leading to a one-game suspension; Dak was baited and handled it better than Carter.
- CeeDee Lamb had four drops (hosts debate 3 vs 4) and missed game-changing catches, including a late fourth-down chance.
- Eagles’ offense didn’t involve A.J. Brown early enough (no targets until late second quarter), and separation looked limited.
- Eagles’ defense lacked pressure after losing key defenders; Cowboys’ run game and Hurts’ scrambles were concerns.
Notable examples
- Carter ejected before the game’s flow; video angle alleged Dak spit first at the ground.
- Cowboys’ turnover on a fumble by Miles Sanders in the red zone.
- Zach Baun’s chase-down tackle saving a touchdown; next-gen speed cited.
- Hurts’ two rushing TDs; Cowboys gave up 38 rushing yards on 158.

4:59Shannon Sharpe:Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for staying up late with us and joining us as you watch opening weekend of the NFL season. The defending champs, the Philadelphia Eagles, took down the Dallas Cowboys division rival, NFC East rival. The Dallas Cowboys by the score of 24-20, they got two rushing touchdowns from Jalen Hurts, and that was more than enough to carry them to a victory. The first half was very, very entertaining. It was really, really good football. Neither defense could get off the field, but the third quarter, the lightning delayed the game, and it was really never the same after that.
5:34Shannon Sharpe:Thank you, God. Thank you for joining us, though. I am your favorite Uncle Shannon Sharp, my partner and co-host. He's Liberty City's own.

7:17Shannon Sharpe:The Eagles beat the Cowboys, Ocho, by the score of 24-20. It was an awful half, a late half for CD. CD had big, big drop in Ocho, and he being that guy, he's the number one. He was wide receiver number one. Not in this game. Not in that game. Dak threw it. They had a quarters beat his own Ocho. They gobbled him up. They ran the slot. He gobbled up the safety. Corners playing outside leverage. CeeDee goes to the post. God, he's hurt. Dak just walked. That's a handoff. That's what we call what a walker doing, Dak. That's a long handoff. Dropped it in the bucket. CeeDee said, nah, I don't want it, Dak.
7:58Shannon Sharpe:You take it. Throw it back at him. came back later threw him another one up the rail gotta go by Ocho I don't know why he diving like he's doing a nasty plunge you ain't diving in the pool just running he dove purposely just because the safety was coming so to avoid to avoid getting hit and being able to make the catch I'm gonna die for this one bring it in um I I don't know what happened tonight I don't know what happened tonight CD had a chance to win the game for the Cowboys that's the way the game should have ended as great as the game was before the lightning delay with them both with both teams going up and down the field and scoring back to back listen yeah the cowboys should have sealed the deal he had what it was three big plays right it was three well i counted three i counted three drops but uh uh uh somebody uh uh tweeted at me said no he had four drops but i know i count i counted three because i know i counted one in the second quarter that he had one and it went right through his hand he almost got it picked as a matter of fact two of the three two of the four drops almost got picked and probably should have been picked but uh you're right you're right cd being the player that he is you got the hatos on you get you got the hatos especially being what we consider you to be when we talk about the top five receivers in the nfl those are the kind of catches that you make matter of fact the money that you do make is the reason you make that kind of money for opportunities in situations like that they expect you to make those so i mean it's unfortunate cd gonna have to get back to the drawing board and you know what to do you've had games like that big games you drop important plays that that can change the magnitude of a game you know in in it in his moments like that that determines wins and losses yeah and it's about No, one play.
9:41Shannon Sharpe:No, it's not one play. It was four plays. It was four plays. I counted three. And three of them would have been first downs, Ocho. The last one basically ended the game because that was on fourth down. But he had the post. I mean, Brian Schottenheimer had the perfect play called on. They're playing quarters coverage. They got the slot to eat up the safety. The corner is playing outside leverage on CD. CD runs a post. Dak can't throw it any better. That's what we call walking to him. He walked us a long handoff. That's how perfect the ball was thrown. He threw the other one that he dropped that he laid out for Ocho.
10:16Shannon Sharpe:You know, when you're unsure your hands, you do a lot of diving because you won't catch it with your body, Ocho. You supposed to run up under the thing. Hey, see that's CeeDee Lamb. CeeDee Lamb for the run up under that face. Ooh, damn, you handed me another one. A lot of times that there are times that you have to dive, but I don't believe CeeDee needed to dive for that ball, Ocho. watching it having played the receiving position you play the receiving position i don't believe he needed to die for that listen i think he was trying to protect himself and i i gave my my based on what i saw okay why he did die okay i'm gonna dive and catch it because i know the safety is coming i'm gonna avoid the collision by jumping forward and being able to cover myself up and protect myself by making the catch by diving obviously things didn't work out those are plays that we expect that we all expect people watching whether you're cowboys fan or not you expect CeeDee Lamb to make because those two catches, those two big catches on them, change the trajectory of the game.
11:16Yeah, for sure.
11:18Shannon Sharpe:And the Cowboys had a turnover too, Ocho. You remember they had a turnover also. They was down in what, like the 10-yard line and the guy bumped the ball. Running back. Yes, sir. Yes. As a matter of fact, that was Sanders. Miles Sanders. Miles Sanders. First of all, I thought Miles Sanders was faster than that. Ain't no way a linebacker supposed to catch a running back. I don't give a damn who the linebacker is. You got to remember that. We talk about linebackers that run 4-4-4-5 now. Zach Brown don't run no 4-4-4-5. That's Miles Sanders.
11:55Shannon Sharpe:So what linebacker you know catching Derrick Henry? Which one catching Saquon? Which one catching Chris McCaffrey? Yeah, but see, You can't let no linebacker And look where he came from Just look at the running backs you just named You named your tier one running backs You named your tier one running Go back and look Go back and look and see where Zach Braun Came from and you tell me If he's supposed to run Miles Sanders down And what made it even more egregious If he tried to punch the ball out first He missed that and said damn I couldn't punch it out Now let me tackle him Bro, you cannot let Ocho in a situation like that.
12:37Shannon Sharpe:That's a breakaway because you broke the initial line. Safety takes a horrible angle. Coroner is like a blind dog in a meat. Where did he go? Where did he go? So he didn't know anything. And now he got – I'm going to hit my head on the goal. Absolutely. You're supposed to. I don't think Miles Sanders is not one of those burners like that. He's not a Chris Johnson. You know, he's not a Jameer Gibbs. He's not going to get out. and even with the pursuit, I'm going to outrun everybody. Well, hell, he ran like Freddie Gibbs. You talking about Jameer Gibbs? Hell, I'd have took Freddie Gibbs on that one.
13:13Shannon Sharpe:Hell, I think he could have made it there. Chad, y 'all go back and look at that play and tell me, look at where Braun came from and you tell me if he was supposed to run Miles Sanders down. Oh, Joe, he's on the other side. Hey, you ran track, didn't you? Yes, I did. Let me tell you the feeling Miles Sanders had. You ever ran that goddamn 400? I did. I was on my relay team. I ran open for it. You come off that third curve and that monkey jump on your back? And you try everything? That last 110, don't you? You got to come up out there.
13:53Shannon Sharpe:That last 110, you got to come up out of there. You know that feeling? yeah but and like the thing is Ocho look I understand if the guy is is pursuing that means he got an anger angle excuse me but this guy was a chaser he chased him down he didn't have no angle he ran him I'm like what the hell I was like I like what I saw from the Cowboys offensively defensively I'm still concerned Ocho because if you go back and look, when they came out of the lightning timeout, the delay, if you notice, Ibra Flues did something that he didn't do early in the game, which was blitz. He blitzed two. He brought digs, he brought a corner, and then he brought a slot.
14:43Shannon Sharpe:So he brought a cat and a slot blitz because he saw he couldn't get there with just four. And when they got a minimal pressure, they let him – you can't give up lanes to get a mobile quarterback. Every time. I was like, dude, what are y 'all doing? And that's not what Iberflue's like to play cover two. He'd like to keep everything in front of him. He doesn't want to sacrifice his back end, but he had no choice. Because, hey, you got the number one rated left tackle. You got the number one rated right tackle. So you ain't getting nothing. Now, Mylada did get lazy on one play, and he stayed too long.
15:20Shannon Sharpe:And I don't remember 41's name, but he allowed him to get some pressure. But Lane Johnson was doing it. Like, hey, he was doing his thing tonight. Dickerson did go out, so that's a situation that bears watching. But I told you, Ocho, I had some concerns because the Eagles lost their coordinator. And the guy that they got calling plays now has never called plays. So I don't give a damn who your personnel is. The likelihood of somebody that's never called plays come in and been dealing is probably not going to happen. Now, you mean to tell me you go 30, 45, 56 minutes before you give A.J. Brown a target?
16:01Listen, I tweeted that. I think they were nine minutes into the second quarter, and the first thing I said was, well, can we get A.J. Brown involved, please? There's no need for A.J. to have to be reading that book called Silence on the Sideline Again. There's no need for that. How do you go into a game in week one and you pay A.J. Brown, what,$28 million? No, A.J. get like$33 million. $33 million, and he doesn't have a target. How is he not a part of the game plan? I understand the Eagles have a way of doing things. Matter of fact, the way the Eagles do do things, they went and won a Super Bowl by doing things the way they do them.
16:38But how do you not get your number one target, your number one receiver involved into the game early? It doesn't have to be anything extravagant. It can be a smoke route. It could be a quick hit. It could be a quick out. You know, something just to get him acclimated and make him feel like he's a part of the game plan. I didn't see a whole lot of separation, Ocho. What, the fourth quarter?
17:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I didn't see a whole lot of separation either, Ocho. To go back when they would show a different angle, it's not like there was a whole lot of separation. it's uh zach bond b-a-u-n bond i was saying braun how do you pronounce it b-a-u-n i thought it was
17:28Shannon Sharpe:all i know is that he chased down miles sanders and then the next very next play they fumble the ball so he saved the touchdown now you look at the difference see that's that's one guy that sometimes Ocho we get somebody else will make that play he took it upon himself I ain't worried about nobody I'm going to go make the damn play and sometimes we get that on a team because football is the ultimate team game man Ocho going to make the play nah you going to make the play bond yeah B-A-U-N bond okay but it's I thought the game was really was there was no defense in the first half. Let me take that back.
18:12Shannon Sharpe:If you like offense, this game was the game for you in the first half. But when that delay happened, Ocho, that's hard. That is very hard to take that kind of time because Ocho, you just came out of the delay. You just came out of half. And then so now you're like, okay, I'm good to go. I'm good to go. And they blow it. It's a knob and you're back for a delay for another 45 minutes. So it's hard to tune back up after you've turned down and to turn down again and get back going. So the game, the second half was not as interesting as the first half. The first half was phenomenal. For it to be a week one game, the way it was promoted, the way it was advertised, it lived up to just that.
18:56It lived up to just that. And I got a question for you too. how do you feel with Micah Parsons being out? And I think Micah Parsons not being there. If Micah was there, I think he takes away some of those scramblings, some of those where people weren't disciplined, staying in their lanes. So I think some of that pressure, there was really no pressure on Brother Jaylen Hurts for most of the night. How do you feel the Cowboys did in the run game that Jerry claimed they improved on since getting rid of Micah Parsons?
19:28Shannon Sharpe:Well, they gave up 38 for 158. So that's about four carry. They did a great job on Saquon, 18 for 60. They didn't let him go crazy. He had a nice TD run. The TD run was really, really nice. Jalen Hurts was the only one that really hurt him with his legs. Those two touchdowns because people got the gap responsibility. They got out of their lanes. He found the lane. the thing that you don't want to let a mobile quarterback do is scramble to his dominant hand well he's a right-handed quarterback and if touch first touchdown you let him get outside to a dominant his dominant hand second one uh you know you just got collapsed down and then he takes out the back door so give give Jalen Hurts credit for that uh Dallas is gonna have to be there's not a time you're gonna have to well look you got Jane Daniels in that division Russ can run but Russ ain't Jalen Hurts.
20:20Shannon Sharpe:He's not Jaden Daniels. But looking at this game, Ocho, I think Dallas is going to be fine. I don't want to make too much about it because I think Dallas' offense is going to be fine. The question that I have is that are they going to be able to generate enough pressure? That's the question that I have, Ocho. Now, everybody ain't got an offensive line like Philly now. And the thing that Philly was able to do is that they were able to say, look, they didn't get down. to make that the force Dallas couldn't force them to just throw, throw, throw. Because we still could run just enough because, you know, it was 7-0 and 7-7 and then, you know, the score was what it was.
21:01Shannon Sharpe:So it was never a situation where the Eagles had to get out of character. Now, if you have to get out of character and you're not able to run the ball to make those guys like, well, they can run it, well, you're going to have a problem. And the thing is that you've got to give Irvin Flues credit because if you play cover two, you've got to run a team out of cover two. And that's why there was nothing there. because that's what Iberfus like to play. You go back and study him at Indy. You go back and study him with the Bears. That's the defense that he loves to play. And so, you know, like I said, I'm not overly concerned, but I'm cautious about the Eagles because this is the first year play caller and the expectations are so high because you're coming off a Super Bowl.
21:43Shannon Sharpe:You got the offensive player of the year. You bring basically all your offensive guys back. Now, you did lose a lot of guys on defense. And what we're going to get into before the game even started. Ocho, according to the next-gen stat, Zach Bond reached the top speed of 20.68 to make a TD save and tackle. Miles Sanders was 19.29. I told you. That's the fastest play from scrimmage of his career. Yeah. I told you. I don't know what Zach Bond. I don't know what he ran. I don't know what he ran at the combine. but I do understand that monkey jumped on Miles Sanders' back. I don't know if Miles Sanders has ever been a blazer.
22:26Well, it's got to be Deion. A player that we looked or viewed as a burner that can hit his head off the goalpost from anyone in the field. I don't think we've ever viewed him like that. And Brother Bond is fast, obviously. And that's where the game comes from.
22:41Shannon Sharpe:Zach Bond ran a 4.65. Now, that's when he's coming out. He's looking for a job. Guys, I've got my best suit on. I've got my best polo shirt. I've got my best tie and my best black shoes. You think he running that time right now? Six years in the league? Exactly. You know that football. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Football speed and 40-yard dash speed are completely different. You know who else ran a 4 '6 and never got caught? The greatest receiver of all time. you know who else ran ran a four five and never got caught four six four five same thing you you knew else on the four five of the combine but hell he was lightning quick and never got caught either yeah that he wanted that ocho that's that's just like man i can't let i can't because and for first of all ocho normally four six you ain't even like man that's a running back
23:43Shannon Sharpe:hey at a party to say bad you he would have uh he used to work for the state he was state trooper say man he was part had his car parked ocho say car went past him so he probably doing 140 so he he said forget it all he had to do was hey radio and call ahead
24:06Zach
24:06Shannon Sharpe:Zach Bond could have easily did that he could have easily did that Ocho and nobody would have been upset but something inside see that's the difference between winning and losing ball game you see the effort now if I'm the Eagles if I'm Sirianni I'm putting that on the loop this is the effort this is who we are if we want to get back to where we want to be this is the type of effort I need from everybody no excuses allowed job got to get done that was that was as impressive because the very next play Ocho who gave they got a fumble you know it's funny too when that fumble goddamn Miles Sanders coming through the hole the first thing quarterback.
Read the full transcript
24:56The first thing running backs do is they put both hands on the ball. He had both hands on the ball. It still got a better there.
25:03Shannon Sharpe:Still got a better there. Hey, sometimes, Ocho, the perfect hit, there's nothing you can do, man. There's nothing you can do.
25:14Shannon Sharpe:Look, watching AJ Brown the last couple of years, you know, I followed a little bit in Tennessee, but Tennessee was really not on our radar like that. but since the Eagles he's probably happy they won but he's either you know what's going on Ocho I done with a Hulk I practiced all summer long I did all this training camp these OTA these mini camp for this hold on what do they have one catch for eight yards they have my dog out there doing cardio now listen I will say this I will say this some of the plays where Jalen Hurst was going to A.J. Brown when he condensed the splits, he was running what do you call it?
25:57The dig. The 12-yard dig. The little short one. Yeah. You still call it dig? I thought they had some different different... Anyway. He was trying to go to AJ. Safety came down. Been on it right away. He had to come up off it. There were a few times where Jalen Hurts was going to him but pressure got in the way. D-lineman got in the way and Jalen had to get up out of there. So the times he wasn't going to throw in the ball, he couldn't get it to him. I will say that but the fact still remains even still one goddamn catch in the fourth quarter come on now come on now Ocho if a team
26:36Shannon Sharpe:is going to play you cover too you got to run them out of it because the thing was if you look at it when he's at his best when he can play pitch and catch it's single high safety they're working on one on one Devontae's one on one AJ's one on one X Y and Z you look at the one he dropped in the bucket the Dotson caught him with perfect coverage. They got him in quarter, played outside leverage. He dropped it in the bucket. They couldn't run him out of cover two. Hold on. Even if they do want to play cover two, boom, okay, y 'all want to go in cover two? Boom, we're going to get distance fits, put him in motion, do spacing, find a hole, find a zone.
27:11It's simple. If you really want to get your player the ball, there are so many things you could do with him offensively. There's so many.
27:20Shannon Sharpe:I want to give him the ball, Ocho, but I'm not going to jump my offense to get him the ball. I'm not going to go out. See, that's what we got to be careful of, Ocho. Trying to get him the ball, getting outside of our offense. Because most offenses are at their best when it's fluid, when it's fluid. And I'm not trying to force you the ball. Pick, if you go look at Pickens, Pickens had three. I mean, Ferguson had five. What did he have? CD lamb had 13 targets George Pickens had four target Ferguson had six targets so only lamb Should be pleased with the amount of targets that he got but he should have had another Catches or she should have had lemon for about a buck 65.
28:07Shannon Sharpe:Maybe This game Brother CD lane, you know, I'm talking about this game CD lamb today about 200. Oh Okay Opening night Thursday night based on what I saw tonight Like, CeeDee Lambson left that game, for one, with a W. Two, with a 200-yard game. Easy to start the season off. Easy. Yep. I tell you what, Ocho, I show hope the Eagles don't regret letting Slate go. Because, boy, they was having their way with Adore Jackson. You know what? I wouldn't – now you're a veteran. He's been playing long enough in Tennessee, in New York with the Giants. He has enough experience. Once he gets settled in, Big Vangios understands what he can and what he cannot do, making sure whatever you need to hide, whatever weaknesses he may have at the defensive back position, you're going to have to be able to hide that.
29:04You're going to have to be able to hide that until he gets his confidence back if he's lost it. You got to. because if there was one week if there's one week length that pops out on film especially like tonight's game what you think every other team gonna do they're gonna attack it every time
29:23Shannon Sharpe:they're gonna attack it every time I'm going to him I'm going to him no for real though that's what I'm doing absolutely it's kind of like when Eli Apple wherever Eli Apple was the ball found him did the dojo It didn't matter where he was. He could play the slot. He could play the right corner. He could play the left corner. He could play the nickel. It didn't dime. It did not matter. All I know, if he lined up on me, the ball coming to me. Whoever he lined up on, that's where the ball was finding. The ball's going to find him. So, Adore Jackson, until he fixed that, the ball going to find him.
29:59I think he's going to be okay. He's made many, many, many plays. and once he gets acclimated in that defense, Vic Banjo understands what he can and can't do with the Dory, when to have him free, when to have him with help, when to have him in the man. Whatever he does best, they'll figure it out. Obviously, it's only week one. But right now, when you watch film on this Eagles-Cowboy game, I'm not sure who the Eagles play next, but the first thing he'll say, when you look at defense, okay, we got to find the fish. I'm looking for him, too. We got to find the fish. Who is the fish?
30:34Shannon Sharpe:who is the weak link that we can attack and i'm and i'm baiting and guess what ocho i'm baiting i got some good i got some good chum are you you damn right i'm looking i'm looking for it listen i'm just happy football season's back i mean i am too ocho and the thing is if you think about it ocho uh vic fangio likes to play he likes to play nickel defense if you notice he liked to play cooper john in the slot he loved to play nickel he loved to play single he loved to play uh uh too deep because he believed I will keep everything in front of you. I got pressure now. And we're going to talk about this in a little bit about Jalen Carter.
31:11Shannon Sharpe:And I don't know what the hell he was thinking. But in the, in, in that's in this situation, I'm a little concerned the Eagles and the, their inability to generate pressure. Yeah. Yeah. But you, but you lost a lot too. You didn't have a, who that's the, They lost Sweat.
31:35Shannon Sharpe:They lost, yeah, they lost Slade. They let Slade go. One of the D linemen, big D linemen got paid. Two of the D linemen got paid. Brandon retired. Graham retired. And so the thing is, Ocho, is that, you know, oh, you keep saying next man up, next man up. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ain't no next man. And you can't keep going three, four men. Oh, yeah, you got it, bro. Bro, there's a reason why you're at the back of the bus. Oh, they got the Chiefs next week, Ocho. They got the Chiefs next week. CD was officially credited with four drops. Four drops. Four, four, four, four. That ain't good.
32:20Shannon Sharpe:CD, you know, he's better than that. He'll go back, look at the tape. Maybe that's how he does it. I don't know what's his thought process or how he gets ready for the next game. He'll go back because he ran great routes. He was open. He just has to make those catches.
32:38Shannon Sharpe:He wears 88 for a reason. Oh, yeah. Two of the guys just worn 88s in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That's what they expect of CD. And those guys made those plays when the opportunity presented itself. I'm not saying he's not going to have a drop. I mean, hey, you're going to have a drop. Some games you go, you catch everything. Some games you go, you know, you have a drop Not like this You can't have four and you can't have he had two big I mean back-to-back drives Ocho Yeah, I think he gonna be right on matter of fact. Have you ever had a game like that before? I'm trying to think No, not what not where I've had that many drops now.
33:19Shannon Sharpe:I've had a game where I had I'm saying yeah me but I haven't had a game where I had you know three four or five not four or five No, I haven't had a game like that. I had a game just like that, like CeeDee did against the Buffalo Bills. You talk about one of the worst feelings ever. For one of the people who don't get a drop the ball, right? But when you get the two and three, and your teammates start looking at you, well, ain't you supposed to be him? You okay? You okay? Hey, boy, they last. Hey, you get them, Shaw. You get them next time. Last day. Man, please. Hey, hey, Ocho, that's what you said after the first drop.
33:56Shannon Sharpe:Here we are at three or four now. It's the next time. That's why I love playing with TJ. That's why I love playing with T.O. Because those are the type of individuals, even though they're your teammates, oh, they're going to get to you raw. All that, oh, it's going to be all right? Nah. TJ and T.O.? Man, what did you do? We're going to let that R.A.W. We're going to let that one slide. First of all, we're going to let that first slide. No, no, I'm saying we let that first R.A.W. slide. But that's all you get for this week now. So when we come back on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, ain't no more getting it to you wrong.
34:33Shannon Sharpe:Oh, pause, pause, pause. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We let that one slide. That's one. My bad. I was talking too fast. I ain't even realize that I said it. My bad. My bad. I know you didn't. My bad. 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.

38:14Shannon Sharpe:uh Ocho we got to start about talk about the start of the game Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott and a new video angle showed that Dak spit first at the ground in Carter's direction smiled and laughed Carter then walked towards the Cowboys huddle leaning the two exchanging words and Carter spit on Dak NFL needed suspended One game? One game. Yeah, that's feasible. I think it's feasible. You can't do that. I don't care. You can talk trash. You can say what you want to say. You can say whatever you want to say. For one, you inside they huddle. You cross the ball inside they huddle.
38:59You know, go at it. Whatever. Listen, you're already intimidating. You're already top three at your position in the NFL. There's no more. There's nothing you can say or do that you haven't already put on film. We need to be going at it with that. we understand what the damage you were going to do in this game you know to go out there and spit on somebody on that that's that's the worst thing that you can do to anybody on that's the worst thing you can do to anybody spitting on someone is uncalled for spitting on someone is we have to fight no matter what at a funeral we at church we in the street spitting is off limits that's I'm surprised Dak was able to restrain himself.
39:42Shannon Sharpe:I understand. He'll quarterback. And anything that I do, you know, first of all, I swing on him. I hurt my hand. I need this to throw the football. Don't swing on him. I mean, just something. There is nobody you can find in the chat if you switch. What if that was you? What you would have did? Jay LeCardt spit on you right there in the middle of the field. I'm going to get thrown out of the game. I don't think there's any other player and I think because Dak is a quarterback he had to react the way he did it's commendable Chad stop Dak did not spit on him y 'all need to stop stop with this oh Dak spit at him, Dak spit on the ground Dak was in his huddle did y 'all see where Dak was y 'all make it seem like Dak walked up to him spit on the ground right in front of his shoes Did you see where Dak was?
40:37Shannon Sharpe:He walked towards Dak and spit on him. Chad, stop this. You can't, y 'all tried to conflate. Well, he did this, so that's why he did that. No, it's not the same, Chad, and you know it. He got baited. He got cost himself, and he's probably going to get suspended the game. You do these kind of antics when you're not a good enough player. He's too good of a player. He doesn't need to do shenanigans. he don't need to do this Ocho he's that good he's an all pro he's a pro ball player he doesn't need to do any of that now he can just let his play speak for himself which I knew it was going to do you do understand he's top three in his position yes I realize how good it could be what is he doing I don't understand like you're in the conversation with Chris Jones and Jeffrey Simmons like you are him.
41:35Shannon Sharpe:Yes. I don't get it. Because here's the thing. This is how I know he doesn't know how good he is because he does stuff like this. Aaron Donald, Reggie White, the great, they didn't have to do nothing like this. They say, you know what I'm going to do? I get you. Okay, you want to wink at me, you want to spit? I get you. That's why quarterbacks don't do much. They don't say anything. The guy they're talking to can come over there and literally break their damn neck. Every time. I don't want to piss you off. Hey, look at what Brady always said. Good hit. Great job. Hey, you're a heck of a player.
42:11Shannon Sharpe:He always buttered him up. I'm going to try to stay on the good side. Jalen, you didn't have to do that, bro. Bro, you wasn't raised like that. You wasn't raised like that, man. And the only thing is you were in a structured environment like the NFL. Bro, you messing around and doing something like that in the streets. And, bro, you would hurt. Bro, don't do that. You're too good of a player to do that. Why would you spit? I'm talking about, think about it, Ocho. Do you think about, remember, to do something like that? You done thought about that before. I mean, that's the thing that comes to your mind.
42:46Shannon Sharpe:You walk up to the man and spit on the man. You're not, hey, like, have you, Chad, Chad, just, I want y 'all to actually visualize this. We talk about week one. This is the NFL. before the game even starts the best player on defense gets thrown out the game before it even starts for actually spitting not a punch not a shove not a scrum, not an altercation spitting one of the worst things you can do to someone when you're actually angry and first of all Ocho as black men do you know like the civil rights that's what happened yeah yeah yeah you got the got the got the got the water holes got the dogs sick donors you got got hit upside the head with the billy you will i mean you would do that to another first of all you shouldn't do that to another at all period but you do that you would do you would do that of all the things you could do.
43:53Shannon Sharpe:Say, you know what? I'm going to get 40 snaps. I'll get a chance. I'll get your ass back. I'll get you back. Don't worry about that. I'll get you. I'm going to get you. Just so you know, I'm going to get you. Now, if he get him and he, hey, he power drives him, I ain't got no problem. I bet you won't do that. I bet you won't spin on the ground no more. And the funny thing is, got no problem. Get him back. But don't do that, Jalen. you too good of a player to ever do that if they suspend him for a game Ocho what's the appeal what are we appealing you can't appeal that you can't even if you do it's going to be uphill you're not going to win that much I already know I already know what the NFL office is going to do I already know what Roger Gutierrez is going to do I already know what those who hand down the disciplines are going to do they're going to suspend him for one game absolutely in fact he's going to get fined as well along with that Yeah, the fire will be his game.
44:56Shannon Sharpe:Because he'll miss a game. Bingo. Yeah, okay. Ocho, what makes this even more egregious is opening night, Thursday night. You're the defending champs. Everybody watching this game. And that's what you do? Hey, he was going to have a hell of a game, too. I can feel it. It's okay to talk trash, too. It's okay. How you think I'm mad at that? And that's what I did. Well, for 11, 12. Matter of fact, the first couple of years, I ain't really do no talking. I ain't no sense to talk to you on special team. What the hell you talking for? The funny thing about it is I like Jalen Carter talking trash. I like Jalen Carter setting the tone for everybody else in that defense by doing what he was doing before the game started.
45:49I just don't like the spitting part I don't like that part but Jalen Carter setting the tone like that getting in Dak's face officer lineman right there did you notice not one officer lineman turned around and said anything what does that tell you not one officer lineman turned around and said anything and they can hear him talking trash to their quarterback that tells you how they view him as a player
46:16Shannon Sharpe:me look I don't know how, like I said, but our offensive linemen, they get you. They get you. But see, you can't block like what we could cut block and roll block. Are you engaged and people coming? No, no, well, you can't. That's a chop block. You can't do that. That's the Jerry Ball rule. That messed up Jay Ball, Detroit Lion nose guard. He got high load. Guy posted it. Guy went right to his knee and blew his knee out. So you can't do that, Ocho. But what we could do, we cockroach you. We have your heels up in the air. Oh, we have your heels up in the air. And we're going to cut you and cut you.
46:59Huh?
47:00Shannon Sharpe:Oh, we have your cockroach. Your heels going to be up in the air. Hey, that thing like synchronized swimming. You watch all of us cut. The whole backside just fall down. I ain't never heard that before. oh we get you oh we yeah yeah and that's the fact oh you're all that talking oh you're not about all that you got to play this game though now remember remember what you said hey the funny thing about it is everything he say he can back up he just went a little too far with it no just a little too far that's that's unacceptable i'm not i'm not sure anybody anybody who would be okay with what happened even if Dak did spit towards the ground you know how the Cowboys do when you get ready to do a what do you call a little face off they used to do in the old westerns oh you talking about you talking about I forgot what they called that you talking about three paces and turn around a duel the first thing they do they spit off to the side and Before they draw, I mean, it was one of those.
48:11Down at the flow, which was the retaliation.
48:18Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. Maybe it's me. Chad, yes, Dak spit first. But did Dak spit on Jalen Carter? That's what I need y 'all to ask. Answer me this. Did Dak spit on Jalen Carter? It doesn't matter who spit first. Did he spit on Jalen Carter? if you can answer yes to that then we can have a further discussion other than that what are you talking about yes yeah
48:50Shannon Sharpe:he was wrong it's okay to be wrong look I understand if you're Eagles fan you're Georgia Bulldog fan you're Jalen Carter's fan you can still be a fan of his admit your player was wrong It's okay. It is okay. My teammate did that. I said my teammate was wrong. About Romo? Yes. I said Romo's wrong. I said Romo's my teammate. I said, but he's wrong in this situation. I didn't know J.J. Stokes. I had practice against Romo for 97. So I had played with Romo in 96, played Romo in 97. Go against each other in training camp, practice against each other. But Romo was wrong. It's okay to say someone was wrong and not try to make an excuse for his behavior.
49:43Shannon Sharpe:Oh, he shoved it. Man, stop. Stop. It's okay, Chad. It's okay to be wrong. Your guy was wrong in this situation. And Dak baited him. That's why LeBron's like, no, I don't get into it. It's like, what type of tradeoff is that? I get thrown out the game for yelling or saying something or pushing somebody, and he get thrown out. Unless it's Steph Curry, unless it's Kevin Durant. I'm getting a third team of thrown out. He the eighth guy on the team. I'm at worst I've ever been is two. Most of my 22-year career, I've been one. So if I get thrown out, unless that person is Kevin Durant, unless that person is Steph Curry, unless that person is Kobe Bryant or James Harden.
50:38It's not equal. The funny thing about it is even if I don't like you, even if I don't like you and whether I do like you, if we arguing, if we going at it, I still respect you. Enough not to spit on you. Especially in the game of that magnitude. dude i ain't never been i ain't never been that mad on you hell i definitely don't get mad in the game i don't but i'm gonna talk my trash it's okay to talk your trash but the whole oh i don't know
51:10Shannon Sharpe:i don't know hey listen yeah i ain't for that i i i ain't i ain't for that i just know you know my my grand my grandparents they look we've been in the south our whole life grew up my grandfather grew up in the south my grandmother grew up in the south his mom his dad all the and so i i don't know maybe maybe southerners maybe ocho maybe we look at it more serious more harsh because of of what transpired in the south during the time and that you know spitting on somebody but i i haven't that never even crosses my that never even crossed my mind ocho to spit on somebody you spit on the ground so if you tell me you would rather spit on somebody on the ground you're telling me i'm building the ground you're telling me at that point in time the ground's not worth spitting on you are it's just it's just something about that when i hear about somebody spit on or i see somebody it just does something to me it makes my skin crawl it it really does it does something to something just goes all over me.
52:21Shannon Sharpe:Man, I just, I couldn't, cause I was, Ocho, cause when I came down, I was like, cause by the time I had to get some dudes do something, it's gonna seven nothing. I'm like, well damn, where's Jalen Carter at? So I didn't get involved. I said, well damn, where's Jalen Carter? I had no, I didn't know. No, I didn't see what happened. No. So I'm like, well damn, where's Jalen Carter? I'm like, I see the Eagles OD, Ocho, I'm looking, I'm like, well damn, where's Jalen Carter? he tired I'm like I'm saying he tired already
52:51Shannon Sharpe:and then I mean the thing I see I see on like on Twitter I'm like huh yeah man I'm like hold on I'm like so now I'm like well where did he do this so I'm googling cause I want to know like if he didn't even play in the game he didn't even play a snap almost almost did oh my goodness come on Jalen Jalen you better than that bro you better than that I think for the simple fact I think a game he's going to get at least a game for the simple fact it's Thursday night it's opening NFL week and he did that because don't you remember they're trying to like they try to stop because boy when we were talking it was it and shut up and please they don't even want you saying that now okay oh they throw a flag for that flag for taunting tonight i'm like okay come on now yeah but that's it oh oh oh man do you know how many n words done been said on the football field they're not gonna change that i mean not trying trying to control they're gonna throw a flag but i'm saying i'm like boy that's that's the way 98 % of them talk out there when you're competing anyway.
54:17That's just the way you talk. So now trying to control that in that structured environment when that's the way we go, I mean, that makes no sense. If that's the case, you're going to be throwing a flag every goddamn play.
54:33Shannon Sharpe:But the Eagles lose their best defensive player before he even takes a snap. And then he looks shocked. He looks surprised. He literally thought he could do that And still play in the game I'm like You're talking about Huh Yeah come on man Hopefully he was saying that to himself Come on man Cause I know damn well he wasn't saying that to the officials Talking about they overreacted When you're moving like I do Trips don't always come together weeks in advance.

58:07Shannon Sharpe:Strong hands built America and kept it running for 250 years. Strong hands also keep Copenhagen moving today. Here's to the bravery of linemen, the endurance of truckers, the skills of welders, the traditions upheld by farmers, and all American tradesmen sharing in our work ethic. Copenhagen, celebrating American craftsmanship. Proven since 1822. Warning, this product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes. I was like, man. Jason Garrett said he talked to Dak, and Dak told him that he was talking to Tyler Booker, had to spit. When he did, Jalen Carter was close by. Carter said, you spit at me?
58:55Shannon Sharpe:Dak smiled and said, why would I spit at you? And then we all know what Carter did. Mm-hmm. yeah
59:05i'm glad i'm glad i'm glad they won the game i'm glad they won the game because they had they had not won the game that's would have been the reason why this would be the reason why that media outlets and pundits would have led with on why they didn't win because they didn't have
59:23Shannon Sharpe:you know who that force right according to next gen stats jalen hurt picked up a career high five Five first downs on nine scramble runs tonight, including the game-clinching third-down conversion. No, Joe, he also scored both touchdowns on his scramble runs. Were you impressed by Jalen Hurts tonight? Absolutely. He did. Jalen Hurts picked up right where he left off last year. The offense is structured to do what he does best. It's not aesthetically pleasing to those who love offensive firepower. like a san diego la chargers or like a uh canada city chief team or like a cincinnati bengal team that's not the way they do things but the way they do things it fits the quarterback situation that they do have this is why the discourse on jaylen hurts being a top five quarterback this is where it comes from this is where it comes from this is some of the things that that cam and and ryan clark and dan arlovsky some of the other guys that went on about it is where it comes from because but you said something very interesting no cho you know what you said he's not asked to do what joe burrow patrick mahomes and those other quarterbacks are asked to do so you can't so if you ask if you ask joe burrow to do what jaylen hurst did he wouldn't be a top five quarterback either so how about we do whatever they're going to help whatever my quarterback what is best suited for my quarterback to help our team win.
1:00:56Shannon Sharpe:That's exactly it. He was 19 of 23, a buck 52, no touchdowns, no turnovers. We got a clean game from him. He allowed us to extend downs, okay? I can live with that because he allowed us to stay on the field. Now we get more chances to get a touchdown. He scrambled and got two touchdowns. That's his game. If you're looking to Jalen Hurts to go out there have five games where he throws for 300 yards and three touchdowns, that's not going to happen because that's not how their offense is set up. That's not how they built this team. Now, Joe Burrow might have that. Patrick Mahomes might have that.
1:01:36Shannon Sharpe:Justin Herbert might have that, but that's not how this team is built. So to ask him to be something, to be Burrow, to be Mahomes, that's not what he's asked to do. That's not who he is. But can he can if you say, well, Super Bowl, you see what the chief chief said? Now, Saquon's not going to beat us. And then he picked him apart. Letting you know he can do both. Letting you know he can do both. It might not be a high volume of passes like the other three teams we named as examples. If I have to do it, I can still do it. Yeah, but the likelihood of those guys getting five first downs with their legs,
1:02:25Shannon Sharpe:you're asking an awful lot, but then you don't play them like you play Jalen Hurts, and you don't play Jalen Hurts like you played them. So you have to be on your best behavior because Jalen Hurts can beat you with his legs. You know that. But I thought he was a commander of the offense. He did a great job. He threw it away when he needed to throw it away. He didn't put the ball in harm's way. He got two tush-push first downs. The scrambling, like I said, he went out the front side because they let him get to his dominant hand. And then the next time they let him get out to the backside and he got a scrambling touchdown.
1:03:02Shannon Sharpe:So, yeah, I thought he played really well tonight. I thought he had great command of the offense, a different voice that's in his ear for the third time in what three years he's got a different voice third time maybe three three four years he's got a different voice in his ear but i told you i think this offense is going to struggle a little bit ocho for the simple fact they got a new offensive coordinator he's never called plays before kellen moore's call plays for very good offenses kellen moore is a damn good play caller it remains to be seen if he's a great head coach but he can call some plays you know what's funny is i think the play call is going to be fine because it's all if your officer coordinator doesn't have ego if your officer coordinator doesn't have ego and understands what he can and can't call based on your skill set and understanding that i can put the ball in jalen hurt's hands and understanding he's not going to turn it over he's only going to do what we ask of him and nothing extra now when he needs to make something out of nothing he can do that too but he's not going to be out there like brett farb you know exactly what I mean.
1:04:05Shannon Sharpe:I think the problem is, Ocho, this is his first time. And you know, what's the likelihood of a first-time offensive coordinator calling plays for the very first time and his team going to the Super Bowl? You have to have some trial and error. You have to know what to call, when to call it, down in distance, error to feel. You have to have some hardship. You have to have some calluses. You know, Kellen Moore, it took a while before he develop the rhythm what to call because oh you call a play you already thinking okay this first down i'm already i call that play i'm looking at second down okay second what is it gonna be second to what second second and ten second and you know five to seven second and three to five second and one i'm on that plate so i ain't really watching what's going on because i gotta think about the next play and then i gotta see how the game is being go how the game is going so it's just hard and that's my concern and plus you know they lost a lot that defense lost a lot of players guys that were disruptive that's what they missed guys that were disruptive based off what we saw tonight not only did they lose guys that were disruptive up front but they lost some important key factors on the back end too and tonight it looked kind of shaky on one side it did so
1:05:32Shannon Sharpe:they get the win and guess what Friday, Saturday, Sunday off but who play tomorrow? The Chargers and the Chiefs, huh? Chargers and the Chiefs in Brazil Brazil wait, well what time the game come on in?
1:05:51hold on what's the time difference in here in Brazil? don't start me to lie
1:05:58Shannon Sharpe:yeah what's the time different between here and brazil starts at five o 'clock it's uh it's uh eight o 'clock your time but it's five on the west coast eight o 'clock my time five okay okay okay okay okay that's that's good i'm dying i'm down here in cincinnati so i'm excited you know you know i'm going to um i'm dying i went i went to bagels uh bangles practice there i went to walk through yeah i said i talked with uh talked with zach for a little bit obviously saw T and Chase and all them boys. After that, matter of fact, I talked to Duke Tobin too. I told Duke he's doing one hell of a job. I talked to Duke.
1:06:35I saw all the defensive line at E &O. A little place down here on the banks. The whole defensive line. All of them. Shamar Stewart, Trey Henderson, BJ Hill. All of them was in there. Sometimes you have position outings. Yeah, I like that. I like that. Boy, them boys are huge. What? And I think I've been away from the game so long.
1:06:57Shannon Sharpe:When you get up close on people, like that's that. Obviously, when we're playing, you're used to it. And I'm like, God damn. Man, Shamar Stewart, why? Trey Henderson, why? I'm like, what the hell? I feel the same way. And listen, I told BJ Hill, I said, well, y 'all boys enjoy it, man. Get your drink, get your food. I got y 'all. I got y 'all. Man, I went to the bathroom and left to the hotel. Man, I went out the back door. Boo! I went out the back door. I'm looking at what they ordering. I'm like, whoa, whoa, what are y 'all doing? That's how y 'all eat? I said, you know what? I thought to myself, let me see.
1:07:39Shamar Stewart, you just got paid. BJ here, you're making your money. Trey Henderson, you just got$14 million advance or pay raise. Y 'all good on the bill. Man, I went to the bathroom and went out the side door, man.
1:07:54Shannon Sharpe:It's the difference between trying to talk to your friends over the music at a bar and having dinner where you can actually hear each other. Between getting food delivered and cooking something you know she's going to love. It's the difference between a rough nicotine pouch and On Plus nicotine pouches with Nico Silk Mash. No corners, no rough edges, just the softest pouch on the planet. On Plus nicotine pouches. It's the difference that changes everything. Not all varieties available in all geographies. Warning, this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. I'm U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
1:08:28We all seem to be in a rush these days, from work to driving our kids around. But when you're behind the wheel, please do not speed. A few minutes saved by going faster is never worth the risk. So follow the speed limit, enjoy the drive, maybe bring some snacks for the kids, and know that along the way, you're getting quality time with your family. Paid for by NHTSA.

PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. PrEP can be about 99 % effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
