In short

Nightcap Hour 1 reacts to the Green Bay Packers’ 27-18 Thursday Night Football win over the Washington Commanders, discusses what it says about the Packers’ defense and Jordan Love’s blitz performance, then pivots to Grant Delpit’s comments about tackling Derrick Henry ahead of a Ravens-Browns matchup.

Guests/backgrounds

Main hosts are Shannon Sharpe (“Unc”) and Chad Ochocinco Johnson (“Ocho”), both former NFL players. A special guest joins: a Packers Hall of Famer and Shannon’s brother, who received his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring that night (also described as one of the first two Sharp brothers inducted).

Key claims

  • Packers are 2-0 and look playoff/Super Bowl capable, especially the “back end” secondary.
  • Relentless pass rush neutralized Washington’s run, forcing Jayden Daniels into pressure and one-dimensional passing.
  • Jordan Love handled blitz timing like a veteran; throws were accurate against the Commanders’ pressure.

Notable examples

  • Xavier McKinney and Eric “Brother” Nixon standout film plays (eye discipline, staying in pedal, knocking down a ball).
  • Michael Parsons: 8 pressures, 4 sacks; pressures in the second half.
  • Love vs blitz: 6-of-8 for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10+ air-yard throws.
  • Discussion of Jaden Reed’s suspected collarbone injury.
  • Later segment: Grant Delpit says tackling Derrick Henry isn’t hard; Henry responds “We’ll see on Sunday.”

The Packers have now beaten two NFC East contending teams in back-to-back weeks. Ocho, what did you make of this ballgame?

6:25Jordan Love was 19-31, 2-92, two touchdowns, no interceptions.

6:32Shannon Sharpe:Jay Daniels was 24 of 42, 200 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. But he was hounded all night long. They pressured him relentlessly, and they took him down four times. The commanders were unable to get a running game going. They had 19 rush attempts, 51 yards. They took the running game away, and they unleashed the hounds on Jay Daniels, and they win the ballgame 27-18. What did you like about what you saw from the pack? Listen, from the pack is everything. Obviously, Michael Parsons with the story. Jordan Love and those receivers were the story. They're what we heard about leading up to this game.

7:06But to me, the back end, the back end defense for the Packers, Xavier McKinney, Brother Nixon on the one side, they were, to me, the most surprising, which popped out on film, which is one of the reasons why I think the Packers are going to go very far this year, not only into the playoffs, but make that run in the NFC to contend for that Super Bowl championship. Unk, this is the, what, the Packers haven't started 2-0 since, well, I think 2020, if I'm not mistaken. Mm-hmm. And they look phenomenal, not just on offense. And Jordan Love, the receivers did exactly what we expected them to do. I'm hoping Jaden Reed is okay.

7:44I think his collarbone, he might have fractured his collarbone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can tell the way he fell, and they put that weight on it. Yep. You already know. Mm-hmm. But everybody else stepped up. Everybody else stepped up offensively. Jordan Love did his thing. Josh Jacobs did his thing. But that back end, that back end for the Packers, obviously not having to – the poses and the threats that the Washington Commanders did have were nullified. They were nullified because their back end played extremely well. They sitting on routes, sitting on plays. Normally, that another team, you're not sitting on them.

8:20Shannon Sharpe:Well, they know they don't have to play – they don't have to cover long because they know the pressure is going to come. so they know what Rashawn Gary they know what Van Ness they know what Michael Parsons they know what those guys Wyatt and all those guys is going to generate a pass rush and we don't have to hold up long so hey until they show us they can hold up and there's a chance we get a double move right okay but we sitting on everything hey we're gonna stand and we're gonna stand back here and we don't believe you have time to run by us right so if you run by us hey the coach you're gonna say that's on me so you'll have to back up I'm gonna play I'm gonna have to play up a little bit more honestly But when you got that kind of relentless pressure, and the only thing that really saved him a lot tonight because Jaden Daniels does have legs because they were coming.

9:02Shannon Sharpe:He did not have a whole lot of time to throw the football. And once you neutralize that run, now you've made the commanders one-dimensional. Once you make a team to one-dimensional, now they're at your mercy because guess what? We already know you can't run it when you want to. We control the terms of disagreement. And the terms is you're going to have to throw. We know you have to throw, and we're coming to get you. Yeah. There were two plays with a defensive back, Brother Nixon, for the Green Bay Packers that stuck out to me on film. He was playing off at seven. He did his three-step read. He's not even looking at the receiver.

9:37Receiver's coming off full speed. His eyes locked in on Jaden Daniels. Yeah. Three steps went. Those eyes shifted back to the receiver, and he stayed so fundamentally sound. He didn't panic. in his pedal. Never came out his pedal. Dude tried to run a stop route. Man, he broke on that. It almost got picked going the other way. Then came back later on in the game and said, okay, we see what you're trying to do. We're going to study you now since you're so aggressive and you're jumping everything short.

10:11They tried to pump him. He stabbed just a little bit just to throw the timing off a little bit. Speed turn. Got right back and the hip side, knocked the ball down. Those two plays to me stuck out tremendously for me because I understand how difficult it is to transition like that as a DB and having that eye discipline and being technically sound and savvy, being patient to be able to do what I saw tonight in those two plays. It's easy to do in practice. But seeing them executed in a game, knowing that the pressure is going to get there, man, hands down. That back end to me for the Packers stuck out on film.

10:49Shannon Sharpe:Back-to-back weeks. Last week, they allowed 246 yards to the Detroit Lions, fewer than 250 yards to the Washington Commanders. That's back-to-back weeks. That's the first two games of the season since 1995. Micah Parsons generated a team-high eight pressures. He had a half a sack on 37 pass rush attempts in his second game with the Packers. Six of Parsons' pressures came in the second half. Look, he's an edge guy. And I understand they got a lot of edge guys, And so you're going to have sometimes guys going to have to line up inside and it's all congested in there, but he needs to be in space.

11:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he can he can use that quickness. He can use that that ability to move and bend those edges. I saw the thing that was showing kind of showing like DT at a 40 degree angle. Michael Parsons at a 42 degree angle. Both can bend the edges. But I think that's the that's the the thing is, Ocho, you're right. That back end look really good. But when you get that kind of push up front, You ain't got a whole love long. Right. You ain't got the whole love long. Kraft had an unbelievable job at the tight end position. He had 124 yards. Oh, my goodness. The most since Richard Rodgers in week 13, 2015 against Detroit.

12:01Shannon Sharpe:That was the miracle in Motown, the Hail Mary game, Mojo. Yeah. They've been losing the whole game, and then Aaron Rodgers rolls, and Richard Rodgers plus the Hail Mary. But defensively, there's nothing not to like. Look, Jordan Love, he was late on one throw. He should have touched another touchdown early in the ballgame. He just late. Oh To Matthew golden the one of Matthew golden that was easy six and it allowed the db to recover. Yep I don't know why I don't know why put that much air He looked like he tried to touch it instead of just let it go. Just let it go Ain't nobody over there bro.

12:35Shannon Sharpe:Just go ahead and throw that and then he had another one He put too much on it because uh, golden had split the seams. Yeah And uh, he probably had a probably he probably should have used a little uh a shorter club. He had too much club. You know what? Just in comparison, Matthew Golden runs a 4-4, right? And I look at that play, and this is where I say where I think Tyreek Hill is so special. I don't mean to bring up Tyreek, but a play like that, a ball like that where Tyreek is in that position where he's split that safety in that corner, he makes that catch and runs. Yeah, but that's the difference between, I mean, people like...

13:13Shannon Sharpe:Well, that's the difference between 4-2 and 4-4, though. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you're right. He's going to run up under that. Right. But there's a good chance if he hitches, Tyrese is going to outrun it. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. So the thing is, maybe in a situation like that, you can't take the hitch. You just got to basically just let it go. Yeah. Because Tyrese, with a free release? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Tyrese is going to not run that. With a free. Nah. I mean, because the thing is, you got to make Tyree drop step. You got to make him do something. You can't just let the man have a free release like he running 100 meters, just free go.

13:50Shannon Sharpe:He gone. Well, you really asking for trouble. Yeah, but you had to be really impressed with the Packers. Look, I'm not overly concerned against Washington. That was a buzzsaw. That was a short week, and that's no excuse. But if you can't run the football against a team that can generate that kind of pressure, you're going to be in for a long night. because you got to give them something else to think about, Ocho. Right now, they're not thinking about anything. They're not running about Eckler. They're not worrying about Merritt, Kosky Merritt. They're not worried about any of those guys because what you've shown is that you can't run the football against our front four.

14:26Shannon Sharpe:So now we're worried about the running. Hey, y 'all handle that. A linebacker, y 'all handle that. We're going hunting. They did a great job of keeping Jay Daniels in the pocket. They did a great job of winning escape the pocket because they got guys that can run. They got guys that can hunt. Hey, and the coach turned loose. Hey, these dogs go hunting. And they did a great job of tracking Jaden Daniels tonight. 24-42, 200 yards, two touchdowns. He didn't turn it over, but he was under constant pressure. Michael Parsons had eight pressures alone. They sacked him four times, so they probably pressured him another, you know, probably 12, 13 times tonight.

15:07That's exactly what I'm going to ask you. Do you see the presence, the presence of Michael Parson, how he's made that defense? Obviously, listen, they were really good, even if he wasn't there. But his addition to that and speeding up everything else for whoever they're playing offensively, being destructive, throwing off the timing, helping that back end with the DBs right now. But they looking like Hall of Famers out there now. Yeah. Looking like Hall of Famers where it seems as if they're making all the plays. but if you don't understand the game you're looking from the outside looking in you'd be like oh my goodness boy these boys back there it's all world oh you're right but that but you can do that

15:47Shannon Sharpe:Ocho yeah uh you look at the secondary when you had uh Reggie when Reggie was in Philly you look at those guys all those guys that went because you had Reggie you had Clyde Simmons you had uh uh Jake Restosow Jerome Brown yeah look at what you had so EA them back there they didn't have to hold up long. They didn't have to hold up long. So, the ball's going to come out quick. You got Reggie on one side. You got Clyde on another side. You got Jay Boogie. Eric Allen was on one side, right? Yeah. You remember who was on another side of Eric Allen or do you remember? It was the defense. Let me see if I can remember.

16:26Shannon Sharpe:They were Reggie, Clyde, Jerome Brown, I think Byron Evans, Seth Joyner, EA, Muddy Waters. I can't off the top of my head, Ocho. I can't remember at all. I can see Eric Allen with that 21 on. Clear as day. Clear as day. I can't remember who was on the other side, Ocho. Yeah. But they had a very good defense. Man, you look, EA. He was in New Orleans also. Played in New Orleans. What? It must be on the back end because I don't remember that. I know you don't.

17:10Shannon Sharpe:Nah, he finished up. If I'm not mistaken, I think he finished up with the Raiders. You remember him with the Raiders? I remember him with the Raiders. I remember that, and I definitely remember that. I think he went from Philly to New Orleans. New Orleans to the Raiders. Okay. Can you check that? Eric Allen. I think he went from Philly to New Orleans and then New Orleans to – Philly to New Orleans. Yeah.

17:43Shannon Sharpe:And if I'm not mistaken, he was – when they had the Dawn Patrol. Right. When they had Paps Williams, Ricky Jack, Vaughn, Johnson, and they had Sam Mills. Okay. middle linebacker Sam Mills yeah yeah I think EA was there with them so he's always had a pass rush in front of him that's why he was sitting on everything he had the record before Deron Bland broke it with those five return touchdowns because EA was sitting on everything but they were loaded they were a very good team he was an outstanding defensive back he had great skills he could take the ball away and you know he had great fees he was small but he realized he didn't have to hold up long but a lot of those guys I think Ricky Jack had already gone if I'm not sure I think Swill might have still been there I think Sam Mills at that point in time had already gone to Carolina so but they had he cut his teeth over in Philly.

18:54Shannon Sharpe:That's where, you know, most of the people remember him from, but he had an outstanding career. Jordan Love finished 9 of 15, 175 yards. Both touchdowns came against the Commander's Blitz. On throws of 10 plus air yards against the Blitz, Love was 6 of 8 for 144 yards and a touchdown. His 14.5 air yards per attempt is a career high mark. Ocho, did you like what you saw from Jordan Love? Yeah, absolutely, because the whole point of blitzing is to throw the timing off and get to you before you can get the ball out. Jordan Love is doing exactly what veteran quarterbacks do and understand, okay, based on what I see, based on tendencies, based on watching film, I already know what's coming.

19:34One, Jordan Love make his points. He communicates with that offensive line and they see what's coming. No matter how much you bluffing and rotating and doing all that shenanigans, we know what you're getting ready to do. And when a quarterback knows it ahead of time, you get the kind of night you got from him when it comes to passing the ball when they're blitzing. I'm not sure what percentage that the commander did blitz, but I guarantee you 98 % of the time that they did, Jordan Love completed that pass.

20:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, well, you're right, Ocho. You try to throw the timing off, but those receivers are so quick. Did you see that touchdown by Dobbs at the goal line? Yes. Hey, listen, I'm not a defensive back. I'm not a defensive back, but I love defensive back play. All he did was stick to the outside. Why are you even going for the first move? You got to have patience like Sally may keep your heels on the goal line and don't go nowhere What you what you moving for he didn't even make a move Because I did was stab outside and come in and because Because when you study Green Bay, what what did Devontae Adams?

20:37Shannon Sharpe:What rock did Devontae Adams catch so much? But it got that face stopping that speed out Yeah, yeah, okay, you're right you're right you're right you're right Hey, how many times we don't see Devontae Adams run that two yard out for a touchdown? Yeah You better go for it. Right, right Cuz it go because here's the thing Ocho if that man run that speed out and you're not close They're like bro. What you waiting on? Why why you playing in the cement? Right? Well, that's a really that's a really hard and that's why I say Ocho If you up there if you if you up there Ocho, are you gonna press or not?

21:10Shannon Sharpe:because if you're up in a press position, you got to get your hands on the guy. You let a guy free release. You up there, you let a guy free release. Right. Yeah. Especially down there because the man ain't got but two, three yards to go for a touchdown. So he completed. He in the end zone. Right. You're right. Listen, I never understood with DBs. There's one DB that I've seen that's been able to do it because he's so disciplined. Yes. His power movement is so good where he can be up and press and not touch you at all because he can stay in front of you the whole time, and that's Denzel Ward. Obviously, you have other players that are good, that do it a little differently, but they love to use their hands to maintain their leverage throughout the route and stay on top of you.

21:52But, listen, if you're going to get up there and press, put your hands on them and throw the timing off. Right. Because it throws the timing off right away. When you're teeing off and your clients are watching, it's on. When the game goes to overtime and your squad is right there with you, it's on.

My brother, we became the first two brothers to be inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And he takes a few moments out of his time. I mean, I think that's him. I mean, I can't see a whole lot, but I think that's him.

25:36I mean, your phone muted.

25:43Shannon Sharpe:Your phone.

25:48Can somebody tell Jamie that his phone is muted? He gonna get it. He working on it. He working on it. He working on it. Nah, it just.

26:01Shannon Sharpe:See, he like me. He can't work. He can't work technology either.

26:12Shannon Sharpe:No, we can't hear you, bro. All right, how about now? Yeah. There you go. Oh, grab my jacket, please. How about now? Can you hear me now? Yeah. Oh, you just got out of the car, so you at the hotel now? Yeah, I just got to the hotel. Yeah. Are you in Green Bay or are you in Appleton? I'm in Green Bay. Bro, I just left the game. Oh, okay. I just left the game. So you get your ring. So now this is the final piece. You got the call when we came down to Atlanta. You get fitted. You go to, you know, all that stuff. The Super Bowl, you get fitted. And then all the buildup to it, you get the ceremony, the induction in August.

26:58Shannon Sharpe:And now this is the final piece in front of those stands that you cut your teeth and you made a name and you made the Sharp family the first Sharp and you made us proud. So now after you've had all this opportunity, you had the better parts of seven months to absorb this what does this moment finally mean has it finally hit you now really you know the thing is is one of those things just the line of uh what has to happen kind of thing you know how you know how it goes we we went through this we went through this when you went through it you know we we went through the whole we went through the whole you know this is what we have to do this is where you have to be this is what you're going to get so it's just another step in the process man and i just look at it that way i don't look at it as you know my my career ended in 1994 you know my football was done in 1994 and this is just an extenuation of uh you know being able to come back and stand in front of the fans that i played in front of to let them know that i appreciate them um you know to get a ring that that is 10 times too big to wear every day to do anything with.

28:08But, you know, it was a good time. I got Suze and some here. They're right there. There they go right there.

28:15Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Suze. Hey, there they go. Is that – hold on. Is that Suze or the Vermin? That's the Vermin right here. There she go right here. There's the Vermin right there. Hey, Verm.

28:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, man. Hey, Suze. Shannon We were doing It was good We got a chance to come back and do that And just be here I mean you got to think about it man I don't know when was the last time Susan was back in Green Bay

28:492004 Yeah 2004 Yeah It's been a while It has been a while.

29:00Shannon Sharpe:And you hadn't been back since what you went to the ring of honor, right? So you've only been back a couple times. I hosted the first show for NFL Network after they won the Super Bowl in 2011. 2011. Okay, so I came back when they played. They had the first game on Thursday night, and I was at NFL Network then. So I hosted then. Yeah. So, yeah, since 2011, I came back for your podcast the first time I've come back since 2011. Wow. We can tell you just got on the elevator, too. Yeah, I know you did. We got eyes everywhere. We all hear your conversation. That's the whole point. The point is, hey, game's over.

29:54Festivity's over, bro. It's time to go to bed now. We ain't on our way back up to the room.

30:00Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all leave first thing in the morning? Because y 'all got to go from... Y 'all fly direct or you got to go to Chicago? I got to go to Chicago. Oh, okay. But no, it was a great night, man. We got a chance to enjoy some friends we haven't seen in a while. I got Perry Campbell, Ron Halstrom. Of course, Hall of Famer Leroy Butler was here. And Dan Jansen. Olympian Dan Jansen was here. So it was a good time. You know, it was a good time for us, man. So we enjoyed that. We did that. And now we're back at the room getting ready to get our stuff packed and get out of here. I mean, what does it mean?

30:45Shannon Sharpe:Because a lot of those people that were in attendance tonight, they didn't get an opportunity to personally see. Some did. But a lot of those people didn't get an opportunity to see you personally. see your career what does it mean to you what did it feel like to have 70 ,000 fans or really because they they love their packer player 80 80 ,000 fans 80 ,000 um to be able to let them know that you know I I know that I'm playing I what I said tonight Shan I got to say in front of uh grand Grands and great grands. Right. Oh, so it was pretty cool to be able to talk to grands and great grands about what it meant for me to be, you know, I understood.

31:34You know, because, and you know, when I first got to Green Bay, they weren't very good.

31:39Shannon Sharpe:No. They were not very good. And when I left Green Bay, they were a lot better. And the wonderful thing about our fans is they're not fair weather. Whether it's minus 300 degrees or if it's 86, they show up. They show up. I mean, my brother's first NFL game, I thought I'd killed him because he froze to death. That's how cold it was. And so, but the thing was, is he was there. The fans were there also. So it's tremendous to be able to let them know because, you know, when I left the game, the fans didn't know I wasn't coming back. Right. They didn't know. You know, all they knew was, oh, he had a neck injury.

32:27He didn't get to play in the two playoff games. And so he is, you know, God, we're building something. They didn't know that that was my last game. They had no idea. So, and I don't know if you guys got a chance to say goodbye. You know, I got a chance to say hello because I was the seventh pick in the first round. But I never got a chance to say goodbye. Not that I needed one, but, you know, if you say hello, you really kind of feel like you want a chance to say goodbye. And tonight I got a chance to do that.

33:03Shannon Sharpe:That's awesome. No, I retired. You remember in 04, you know, CBS gave me the call, and they asked me to sit at the table and I realized, and you're like, look, man, you get too old to play football. You don't get too old to talk. And there's no guarantee that this position will be available next year when you really want to retire because you want to go back and get year 15. There's nothing you can do that's going to change people's perception of you. You got the championships. You got all the records. Hey, go ahead and take this job. And it was an easy decision for me. Now I just called Mike and said, Mike, I appreciate the opportunity.

33:38Shannon Sharpe:I would really love to come back. But this opportunity that I have that's before me right now, it's just too good to pass up. I had a thing. I got my teammates came back and I was like, hey, thank you guys for everything. But I'm out of the door. You're right. Yeah. And that's it. But, but, you know, when you play, we're all at different stages or parts or reasons for playing this game. I played football because I wanted to, you know, I played football to impress my brother. And when it was over for me, and I said this to the media tonight, the only two people that were happier that my career ended were the two doctors that told me I should never play again.

34:21I was okay with my career ending. You know, I was okay with moving on. I was okay with using my college degree to be able to see what was out there, what was next. I was looking forward to what was next. And so being able to do that, man, I was happy about being able to do next. I was really prepared for being able to do next. I was in a neck brace and didn't know what was going to be next. I didn't know what was going to be next.

34:56Shannon Sharpe:So man, congratulations man. Thanks for taking time out. I know you got a lot going on. I know you got to get packed and you ready to get up out of there. No, man. No. Hey, I want to do one thing for your Is she over here? Yeah, don't worry. Oh, she's not there yet? Hold on, man, because I want to introduce your audience. You know how I am, man. I don't do, I don't do, what's the word I'm looking for. I don't do recognition very well. I don't. I never have. I'm more of a behind the scenes. Somebody else gets the recognition, but I want to, I would love the opportunity. If you allow me two minutes, if she's here, I want to introduce you to the architect on why I came back to Green Bay.

35:54I have not been on Lambeau's field since the day I stood on that field, watching the the playoff game, the last playoff game. So I have not been back, but I want to see if she, Oh, she's here. Hold on. She's here. Hold on. Okay. So bro, bro, this is Kathy. Hey, I met her at the hall of fame. I would not, I would, I would not be here if it wasn't for her. Um, you know me, bro. I'm not nostalgic. I'm not that kind of guy that needs my ego stroked or, Oh, well, Let me come back and be recognized. But the reason I came back to Green Bay on this night to get my ring, because I told the Hall of Famers to send it to the house.

36:39The reason I came back is for her. Because she has been, she's wonderful at what she does. She is very passionate about what she does. And you know what? She got me through this. She said she would. She was the reason that the party went so well. It was amazing. The party went so well. Jen, you were there. You know what that looked like and how that set was. This is Kathy. She made this work, and I just want to give her her flowers while I can in front of your audience. Thank you, Ocho, and let her know that I really appreciate her. She's a member of the family now, so we can talk to her any way we want because she's a member of the family.

37:23Well, Kathy, thank you. But no, she's the reason I came back. And it was a good night. We had a good time. We're going to have one more drink, and we're going to bed.

37:31Shannon Sharpe:All right. Kathy, thank you for the great job that you did at the Hall of Fame. It was unbelievable. I speak for everybody that was in attendance, especially my family. It was very well put together. Thank you for handling everything to get him and the family to and from Lambeau to receive his ring. I personally can't thank you enough, but on behalf of the Sharp family, thank you for all you've done for my brother in this whole entire process. Well, thank you. Thank you. It's our pleasure, really. All right, man. All right, man. Y 'all lay it down like y 'all supposed to. We'll talk later. All right, bro.

38:03All right. You put me on some podcast. Yeah.

38:12Shannon Sharpe:I know he doesn't.

38:17Man, log off.

38:21Shannon Sharpe:I know he doesn't. My brother's going to have a fourth surgery on his eyes, right? He had he found out he had a detached retina and he almost lost the eye. And he's had several surgeries on the eye trying to get it corrected. And this is one of the reasons that they had it so early. He drove to Canton. And he really didn't. He really didn't want to come because the pressure. The doctor says, you know, you keep risking it going up into that pressurized situation with the eye. so he's going to have his force surgery on his eye later this month and hopefully they get it corrected. It's a process that he has to spend about 14 hours a day face down for six weeks.

39:04Shannon Sharpe:He has to sleep in that position, so he bought one of those cradle tables like a massage therapist so he spends the bulk of his day face down. It might be more than that. I think it's somewhere between 14 and 20 hours a day face down for six weeks. And so I want to take the time now to hopefully that thing, it goes well this time and we won't have to have another surgery on the eye and he gets to keep the eye. So Nightcap family, say a prayer for him as he's about to go through another surgery and hopefully this time they get it corrected. it.

We've had seasons that have shaken everything. thing. The question is, what remains when the shaking stops? Hi, I'm Gary Valenciano, and on my podcast, Unshaken with Gary V, I sit down with amazing personalities and we talk about the seasons that nearly broke them, the lows that carried them to their highs.

43:08Listen to Unshaken with Gary V on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

43:16Shannon Sharpe:All right, Ocho, but now we get back to our normally scheduled program. In nearly a year after knocking Derrick Henry to the ground with a big hit, Browns, Grant, Delpit delivered another shot at Henry. Asked Thursday, how hard is it to bring a 6 '3", 250-pound Derrick Henry down? Delpit quickly answered, not hard. Henry responded to Delpit later that day saying he was aware of Delpit comment. He had a quote. We'll see on Sunday. Yeah, I like it. I like Delpit coming out publicly like that, obviously. You look at so many players that played against the Ravens, that played against the Titans when Derrick Henry was there, that turned away from contact, that shied away from contact, that chose to allow him to run by him.

43:56And they rather tackle him from the side and make a business decision instead of attacking him head on. Delpit is one of the few. I mean, there might be maybe one or two other safeties that really just don't care, that don't care nothing about their bodies. And they're going to go in there and stick their face in there. And it's man on man. It's money on him. on Imano. Dale Pitt kind of setting the tone for the defense, coming out with comments like that, obviously giving the Ravens bullet to board material, but them having the personnel to be able to back that up, now they got to do just that.

44:28They got to back it up. Catch his ass going left and right. Catch him going east and west. Once you allow him to get north, going north, you already know what time it is. But that's the problem.

44:37Shannon Sharpe:You already know what time it is. You do realize now, Derek Henry's going to go out of his way to see if you bought that. you know i said hey oh yeah you know he's gonna go out of his way and we gonna see we're going to see if it's not as hard as you said it is oh yeah absolutely because there ain't a whole lot of safeties that's looking to tackle derrick henry head on especially if he know you coming see it's easy to sneak up on somebody or you hit somebody you know he's trying to stiff arm somebody and you catch him now he knows oh grant what's his number y 'all okay don't worry about it don't don't don't worry about it i got it listen i got it i'll take i'll take it from here i like it because we don't hey whoever hey don't block him zay don't worry about him hey get somebody else hey you take denzel war because i don't want him to try to have it to chase me down right i'll take care of the safety because you know ocho in a situation like that a lot of times we can't block everybody there's one person free it's kind of like the punt returner We're trying to we're gonna have everybody else blocked up.

45:42Shannon Sharpe:You got the punter. You gotta block him. I take everything else I take everything else. They hear everybody say hey Don't even worry about great delping. Mm-hmm. I got that. I like it. But look This is an old look There's no love lost between these two teams. No, uh

46:02Shannon Sharpe:Baltimore is seething. They know they let a game, but so is Cleveland Cleveland say we had we had the Bengals dead to right. We missed a PAT and a field goal. Yeah. Lamar Jackson and that Baltimore Ravens said, hold on, wait a minute. Maybe we had a 15-point lead under four minutes to go. Oh, we about to go ahead and try to do something bad to y 'all. Miles Garrett said, y 'all ain't about to do nothing bad to nobody. Not if I got something to say about it. But I tell you what, number 77 better do a better job than what he did in Buffalo. Hey, that was bad. That was bad. That was bad. He looked like he was lost on some play.

46:38Hell, I thought he was they're doing the macarena just because they didn't have anybody in front of them obviously if nobody's in front of the closest man to you help your partner out look to your right help your partner out he going he's sitting there turning in circles not touching nobody nope like what are we doing head up inside most dangerous man that's how we block normally to

47:00Shannon Sharpe:your inside which is you got a guy head up that's you yeah you got a guy inside out that's you Other than that, if ain't nobody there, you take the most dangerous man. Like you said, Ocho, hey, help somebody out. Yeah, absolutely. You know what I do like, too, from Grant? We don't get this enough. We don't get this enough in today's NFL. We don't get players coming out and not saying anything malicious, but posing a competitive challenge to their opponent. I like it because now, for me, there are a lot of games that's being played at 1 o 'clock, huh? There are a lot of games that are going to be being played at 1 o 'clock.

47:34But you know which one I want to tune into? Simply because of the back and forth between those two, I want to see the Browns and I want to see the Ravens because I want to see what's going to happen when the Ravens are on offense and they have to run the ball, and is Grant Delpit going to come to the party when the door is open? That's all I want to see. That's all I want to see. Amongst the other things that those teams have to offer offensively and defensively, everybody's going to be watching. 22 versus what number Dale Pitt will? He will 1? I know Greg Newsome 0. Whatever it is, I want to see.

48:12I can't wait. I'm going to be front and center. Matter of fact, I'm going to be at the sports book and I'm going to tell him in the sports book I want the Ravens and Browns game on the big screen. He's 9. Oh, 9. Okay. Yeah.

48:28Shannon Sharpe:My thing years old, Joe, it's like, look, I don't have a guy. Because here's the thing, there are no ramifications. Because if he loses, they're going to say, well, what did you want him to say? No, I wanted you to do what you said you were going to do. Yes, sir. Don't talk about, oh, it was a game and I ain't backing out. No, no, no, no, no. You said that man ain't hard to tackle. Now, I'm going to need you to drop some lumber. I need you to drop anchor and make Derrick Henry feel you. I ain't talk about no side and jumping on his back and the whole but no you said he's not hard to tackle i want to see if he's not i don't i don't want to see i ain't talking about miles garrett i'm not talking about nobody else i'm talking about you you said that so now you wrote checks everybody else got a cash now i don't know how much money y 'all got as a defense in this account but all i know is that you wrote a check that y 'all ass gonna have to cash yeah i like it i like it that's That's all I know.

49:28And most of the time when a player comes out and speaks out, as you look at me, most of the time from my offensive player, when I did all that talking for 11, 12 years, however long I played, I knew one thing. Not only do I have to back it up, but I put pressure on myself. I took the pressure off the rest of my teammates. So all they had to do was go out there and do their job because I had 10 other people trying to knock my head off. Absolutely. 10 other people trying to knock my head off. I don't play on the defensive side of the ball. Now, if you play on defense and you come out and you're talking like that, oh, you ain't got no choice but to show up because now all eyes are on you.

50:01Right. All the pressure's on you. Now you got to fulfill everything you said.

50:08Shannon Sharpe:Man, I can't wait. We know there's no love lost between these two teams. You know, they're in the same division. They've been in the same division. Like I said, the Ravens were the old Browns. Now the Browns have their own team. That just goes to show you what. Think about it now. The NFL made Art Modell leave the Cleveland Brown colors and the records in Cleveland. No other team in the history of moving has ever had to do that. The Cardinals did not leave in St. Louis. They took them. The Raiders, they moved from Oakland to L.A., L.A., back to Oakland, Oakland to Vegas. They're still silver and black.

50:52Shannon Sharpe:and they still got their records. The Rams have moved. They were in St. Louis. So were the Cardinals.

51:03Shannon Sharpe:Nobody, even the Houston Oilers, they moved to Tennessee. They didn't have to leave that. The Colts were in Baltimore. They left in 1984 in the middle of the night. They didn't tell anybody. Got it, yeah. Only Art Modell had to leave his colors and the records, and they got a new team. Yeah. So there's no love lost, especially between the city and Mr. Modell, but a lot of the people that was there doing that process, the Ravens have been in Baltimore now since 1996. Since 1996, so damn near 30 years. Well, it's 30 years. Mm-hmm. What's the hostility for? Right. look, I play, you know, look, obviously I played two years with the Ravens and we played the Browns.

51:58Shannon Sharpe:We beat them, beat the hell out of them the first two years. They beat us the second year there. But I'm going to see, I'm with you. I'm going to make sure I'm watching, you know, I'm going to make sure I have my box on and have my look, my computer. Because I'll be watching, because I want to see. Now, you best believe now, I'm going to say Ocho. Mm-hmm. I saw somebody with an alligator mouth with a hummingbird ass. Because somebody was doing a lot of talking. Yeah. And he didn't have a lot of bricks in his back pocket. So we're going to see this, Ocho. Hey, let's start. They got some great games on Sunday.

52:39Shannon Sharpe:They got the Eagles. We got the Super Bowl rematch. Super Bowl rematch. But I'm going to play very close attention to that game. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Listen, for me, the number one game to watch for me, despite the Super Bowl rematch, is the Ravens and the Browns, simply because of the trash talk and exchanging trash talk. If the goddamn Chiefs happen to start 0-2, well, hey, it might be time to hit the panic button. But again, if you have 15 at the helm, what you do in September really doesn't matter because by the time you get to the back end of the season, when it matters most, the Chiefs are going to be in the race.

53:15So regardless of who wins this early Super Bowl rematch in week two, it ain't really meaning nothing.

53:26Shannon Sharpe:So we're going to find out. Cleveland doing a lot of talking. We're going to find out if they're going to be able to back it up. Also, Ocho, the Ravens, what if they fall to 0-2? Oh, well, hey, I think the Ravens fall to 0-2 and the Chiefs fall to 0-2. There's no reason to hit the panic button, huh? there's no reason because who are the quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes who's the quarterback Lamar Jackson that's a hole that they can dig themselves out of it's also look at the quarterbacks in the division with them Joe Burrow and Aaron Rodgers that's not the normal caster characters that you normally see with a team because okay now go to go to Patrick Mahomes division you got Justin Herbert you got Bo Nix so you got guys now they got court that can get great quarterback play.

54:15Shannon Sharpe:So this notion that, oh, it's a no-brainer. No, no, no. Now, mind you, you've already lost to the Chiefs. I mean, to the Chargers. Yes. And next week, you're on the road to the Giants. So it's not like the Chiefs got an easy schedule. No. Because when you win the division, you got your team that you're going to play outside of it. You got your division cross matchups. Maybe it's, I think Kansas City might play the NFC East or something like that but then you also get division winners from other divisions so ain't ain't no cupcakes nah no hey hey hey hey that's one thing about the nfl they they make you earn it year after year oh yeah oh cho after sunday's loss to the commanders malik neighbors explained a fiery sideline exchange with head coach brian dayball as an attempt to boost people up because he felt like the team's energy was not where it needed to be i was trying to get the offense going i was trying to tell people get rolling the lights were on the game was on it's time to play i feel like we just got pushed over and everybody was just talking about attitude and stuff like that it's just i got that mbf nasty b face uh you know i'm saying that's just what it is that's just my face i don't know i don't know uh what all you uh what all you talk to me about to talk to me I look the same way every time.

55:40Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. It's just how I am, but I guess I have to smile more. He said that he's spoken to Coach Dayball about just the sideline demeanor since the game and knows he has to be more conscious of it in the future because of how many eyes are on him during the game. Most definitely. You know, they will misconstrue that. They will misconstrue your passion, you know, at that position, especially playing receiver. Now, when you have a quarterback that does the same things like that and he shows that passion and enthusiasm for the game, to get his teammates going and you're having confrontation and what they think is confrontation from the outside looking in and just you reacting to the low, what's the word, the low excitement of your team and trying to get everybody going, trying to get the fellas to get to going when things aren't going well, maybe things are not going well offensively or things aren't going well defensively and hyping everybody up around you.

56:34Sometimes it works, but when you're a skilled position, is frowned upon. You have to carry yourself a certain way because the mannerisms in which you do, they call it disgruntled. If a quarterback does it, they call it passion. It's the same act, but they word it differently depending on who you are and what position you do play. And especially playing in that goddamn New York. Correct.

57:00Shannon Sharpe:You get labeled disgruntled. They use the term malcontent. you know I'm saying you're a diva yeah well why can't I have passion why can't I want to win right oh I'm selfish right right I mean listen one man passion is another man's selfishness is another man's diva the funny thing about it is we've seen Tom Brady do it on the sideline I'm talking about go the hell off yes we've seen a lot of quarterbacks do it yeah I'm not we've seen Peyton Manning do it I mean go the hell off I'm talking about screaming at his offensive linemen. Remember that clip, Chad, if y 'all remember the clip with Jeff Saturday and Peyton Manning going?

57:43Yes, I do. Oh, my goodness. That happens all the time. It happens all the time. But when Dez Bryant doesn't, oh, it's an issue. Oh, it's a problem. When Steve Smith does it, it's a problem. When Steve does it, it was a problem. But anytime it's a quarterback that does the exact same thing in a passionate the manner is definitively described different. Correct. And it's always been that way. Always.

58:09Shannon Sharpe:And it always will. So we're not going to change it by discussing it here tonight. People are going to look at it one way. It all depends on who's doing it. Yeah. So that's where we are on bat. One thing that Ben Johnson became known for as an offensive coordinator in Detroit was the trick plays. But Dan Campbell said trick plays are the least of his concern as he gets ready for Johnson's offense. You practice one of two things. You do for every opponent. But I don't really care about trick plays. Let's just handle the meat and potatoes of an offense and a defense and what we think they're going to hang their hat on.

58:41Shannon Sharpe:Let's stop that first. Let's worry about that. Let's make sure we're all on point and we'll handle the other stuff. They may hit us with one. That's all right. That happens. Get back to the huddle. Let's get on to the next play. Ocho, you give the Bears a chance to beat Detroit in Detroit? it? Absolutely. Absolutely. I think they have a chance in general simply because Ben Johnson knows the Lions very well. He knows the deficiencies in which they have defensively. He knows what he can attack and what he can't attack. He knows what plays the call to play to the strengths of Caleb Williams, and he knows Caleb Williams' weaknesses as well.

59:22Again, collectively as a team, offensively, they're going to have to play well. They're going to have to play well and Caleb has to make all the right decisions when it comes to throwing the football he got to make all the right decisions and be a little bit more accurate because you're not going to get very many chances the chances that you do have you have to maximize on all opportunities we have opportunity for big catches big plays and touchdowns you do and he let one

59:50Shannon Sharpe:slip he had a he had DJ more I think and he overshot it obviously he should have put that ball in there because they kind of blew the coverage and he kind of sailed it on him yeah that's what you're saying when you get opportunities like that you get when you get opportunity when someone makes a mistake you gotta make them you gotta make them pay because guess what happens if a guy misses a block if there's an unblocked defensive lineman he's gonna hit your quarterback in the back and he's gonna make him fumble the ball yes sir so you've got to make them pay the ultimate price when they make a mistake you've got to hit your head on the goal post you can't say Damn.

1:00:26Shannon Sharpe:Man, I missed that opportunity. No, you can't miss that because they're not going to miss that opportunity. I guarantee you, they get a free rusher, they're going to make your quarterback turn it over. It's really, that's the gist of it. And you mess around and make a mistake on the other side of the ball, they're going to make you pay for it. So you need to make guys pay for the mistakes that they make. So if you have an unblocked lineman, take the ball away. If they blow an assignment and the safety in the corner get mixed up about who's supposed to roll or take, you've got to make them pay.

1:00:58Shannon Sharpe:Yes. That's what you got to do. And I don't think the Bears did that because they had some opportunities the other night against Minnesota and Caleb Williams didn't make them pay. But when they got their opportunities, Minnesota made them pay. Pay, yeah. And so that's what has to happen this week on the road. You're playing in a hostile environment. Yeah, they're familiar with each other. Obviously, Dan Campbell was the head coach. So he knows Ben Johnson tendencies. Now, the thing is, the D coordinator, Now, I don't know. He might have been brought up because obviously AG is the head coach of the Jets.

1:01:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But they kind of know what Ben likes to run. Because guess what? In training camp, you script. Okay, I want to see this defense against this formation. I want to see this formation against this defense. Yeah. Excuse me. So you set plays up. You're familiar with each other, even though the D.C. wasn't in the D.C. role when Ben was there. So, but, you know, look, Caleb is on the clock. Caleb has to play better. Now, because guess what? They're not going to blame Ben Johnson. No, it's going to the quarterback. And listen, there was a graphic. I'm not sure what the graphic was, but in their first two seasons, well, and then you look at the numbers in comparison when Mitch Trubisky was there and Caleb Williams, They look very similar.

1:02:19They look very similar. They do. They look very similar. They do. I'm excited for that game. I think the winner in this game is whichever team could get the other to be one-dimensional. The Bears got to be able to run the ball to be able to execute what they want to do offensively. And the same thing goes for the Lions. The Lions, in their first game, they weren't really able to establish a run like they normally would with Montgomery and Gibbs. So this is a game where they need to establish a run so it can open up their offense. So their offense is a play caller can be able to do more and open up the playbook.

1:02:53Shannon Sharpe:You're right. Both teams, because Green Bay did a great job of shutting down the run and then guess what? Putting pressure on Jerry Goff. That's what the Bears are going to try to do. Bears are going to try to put pressure on Goff because he's not mobile. And he's not a guy that really makes plays outside of the pocket. He makes plays on script. Great play call, he can execute it. But now when you've got to get on script, rolling out of the pocket throwing on the move that's not what he's that's not what he's good at no and so the bears are going to try to make him uncomfortable uh Dennis Allen has done a great job he's one of the better defensive coordinators in this league and so we're gonna find we're gonna find out um somebody's going to oh and two yeah yeah no matter what no matter somebody's going to just like Saturday huh just like Saturday both fighters Canelo and Bud got a zero Bro, somebody going to have an L.

1:03:46We don't know who, but who's ever. Well, Canelo already got one loss.

1:03:50Shannon Sharpe:Remember, he lost to Oval. I mean, okay, my bad. He has two, actually. Two losses. He lost to Mayweather and Boval. Okay, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I just drew a blank trying to do the comparison with these two teams. But we're going to find out. Caleb just got to make the plays. but I think the biggest thing for Caleb is that is he going to be a guy to make plays from the pocket? He seems like he's better outside of the pocket making plays on the move. It's hard to win a championship like that. Most guys, look, that's auxiliary. Your meat and potatoes need to be throwing the ball from the pocket.

1:04:31Shannon Sharpe:He can do both though. He can do both. We're going to find out. We're going to find out.
