In short

Nightcap episode focused on NFL Week 10/late-season storylines—Chargers vs Steelers (Shannon/Chad call Steelers “overhyped”), Lions vs Commanders (Dan Campbell’s play-calling + Daron Payne ejection), Dolphins’ Devon Achane after beating the Bills, plus Ravens’ defensive turnaround vs Vikings.

Guests

No formal guest until Devon Achane joins later. Achane is Miami Dolphins’ explosive young running back (two rushing TDs + one receiving TD in the Bills upset; 28 touches, 225 yards, 2 total TDs). Other “guest” voices are co-hosts Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco Johnson.

Key claims

  1. Steelers have big-name defenders (Ramsey, Slade, Watt) but aren’t playing well; if they can’t get pressure, Rodgers/coverage collapses.
  2. Lions offense is elite when they avoid turnovers; Dan Campbell’s aggressive fourth-down approach and Jamison Williams’ production drive results.
  3. Dolphins’ success comes from staying ahead of the sticks and winning the turnover battle.
  4. Ravens’ defense has shifted (third/fourth down stops, pressure, interceptions).

Notable examples

  • Chargers 25-10 over Steelers; Steelers 2-for-11 on third down; Rodgers uncomfortable, bad throws, dropped easy completions.
  • Lions 44-22 over Commanders; Campbell resumed play-calling; Detroit 546 total yards; Jamison Williams 6 catches, 119 yards, TD; Deron Payne punches Amon-Ra St. Brown, ejected (possible 1–2 game suspension).
  • Dolphins 30-13 over Bills; Achane dominates; Dolphins force 3 Bills turnovers despite Tua throwing 2 INTs.
  • Ravens defense vs Vikings: season-high 2 interceptions, 12 QB hits; held opponents under 20 points in prior four games.

4:11Shannon Sharpe:Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us for another episode of Nightcap. As you watch the Chargers move their record to 7-3, thanks to a 25-10 victory over the Steelers, in dominating fashion, the game was really never close. Once they got the lead, they got a safety, and they took the lead, what was it, I think they took the lead 5-3, something like that, and they really never looked back. Pittsburgh was unable to get anything going, be on the ground or through the air, and they dominate this game 25-10. The Chargers are now 7-3 in second place in the division, while the Steelers are 5-4.

4:45Shannon Sharpe:They sit atop the division, but they are reeling. Thank you for joining us.

6:11Shannon Sharpe:Gates, a friend of mine, a pro football Hall of Famer, had 955 and now Keenan Allen has 956. But Ocho, watching this game last night, last night, tonight, Steelers are good. Pure dominance. Pure dominance from the Chargers. The Steelers aren't good. They're not good enough. Obviously, offensively, you can't turn the ball over. No. It was the first two quarters. I was like, okay, this is a good game. It's 3-2. Both defense playing extremely well. Both offenses really couldn't get nothing going. But at some point, the Chargers, you know how they are. They're going to keep chipping and chipping and chipping.

6:54At some point, that offense is going to catch fire. They're going to start moving the ball. When they get in the red zone, they're going to score and put up some points. and the defense played so well they had Aaron Rodgers shook they had him uncomfortable uh he rushed some throws some very very bad habits even though he is a very good thrower of the ball some very bad habits causing balls to sail on him which were really easy easy easy completions drop passes that ended up being interceptions they really couldn't get anything going all night long on third down the goddamn the damn Steelers was what hold on I just had it right in front they were 2-4-11.

7:31Shannon Sharpe:2-11? Well, you ain't finna do nothing with that. You're not finna do nothing with that at all. So, listen, the Chargers played really well. Even though the Steelers lost the game, they are still first in the division. I think they're what? Not for much longer, though. Oh, the Bengals coming. I'm glad you know that. I'm glad. See, I'm glad you know football. That's one thing I can say about you. I don't care what they say, but you know football. You know the Bengals coming to take that division over. But listen There's no chance of that Ocho you mentioned that They're not good defensively If they can't get to your quarterback They're very average on the back end Let's call it what it is Chad I know y 'all like the Steelers And most of the people my age They have a lot of fans They travel really well But the Steelers aren't good If those two guys outside can't get to your quarterback If they can't attack your quarterback Give the quarterback Like any amount of time, they're either going to be a completion or it's going to be a holding.

8:32Shannon Sharpe:That's what it is. And their offensive line, the Steelers' offensive line isn't good. Aaron Rodgers is not as mobile as he once was, so he can't keep continuously getting himself out of harm's way. He had some bad throws. They sailed on him. He had DK early in the game, sailed that one. The other one, he hit the guy right between the numbers. Yeah, Austin had one slip through his hand to get the pick. I don't know why the punt return is trying to – you're saying get away and then you tried to field a ball. You never field a ball below your waist. If you got to go down here to catch it, you know you don't field no punt like that.

9:06Shannon Sharpe:You've been fielding punts far too long to know you don't take a ball below your waist. And here you are trying to do something that your coach not to do, trying to be a hero, and guess what? You give them another cheap, easy three points. But the Steelers, just watching the Steelers, and like I said, you watch them, and yet they're 5-4, but they're not good. They don't have a team that can compete for a championship. Now, Mike Thomas is going to go and tell them and give all these great clips and these great sound bites, but he knows deep down they don't have a team that can compete for a championship.

9:37The funny thing about it is they have the players. On paper, when they got some of the offseason acquisitions that they did get, I was like, okay, the Steelers are going to be nice. The Steelers are going to be real nice. Obviously getting Jalen Ramsey, you know, Darius Slade, big play Slade is there. TJ Watt, TJ Watt signed. so they got Cam Hayward done I'm like okay you know what on all three levels defensively they gonna be alright if there is a weakness if there is a weak link it'd probably be the second level but they would make up for that on the back end and up front but listen they

10:11Shannon Sharpe:let's be real those are names those guys ain't played good in a while Ocho we gonna keep it real tonight Cal Steelers are good with names They got big names, but those guys haven't played well in a while. That's why they're on other teams. Hey, man, that's difficult. I know what you mean. Ramsey wanted out in Miami. He wanted out of Miami. I thought the Steelers would have been a great situation for him. I think he's still one of the better corners, even though he's moved to safety. You got the experience with Ramsey. Then you have big face slate. Yeah, listen, Slade looked good last year when he was in Philly.

10:54He played extremely well, played extremely well in the playoffs as well. So, I mean, when you say they haven't played. Yeah, when you had that pass rush.

11:01Shannon Sharpe:But what happens when them guys can't get home and you got to hold just a tad longer? Like I said, if you look at the names on paper, the names you, oh, he went to the Pro Bowl. Oh, he went to the Pro Bowl. Oh, he went to the Pro Bowl. He's an all-pro. He did this. But all the guys, they haven't played well in a while. Wow, they haven't. That's not to say they weren't good at a particular time because every guy that you mentioned was. They were good. They're just not what they once were now, and that's what the Steelers need. People are not – it used to be a time, Ocho, people were in awe of names.

11:38Shannon Sharpe:Now people will make an example out of you and use you to catapult themselves because of your name. And people are like, look, all I know is like Paul Pierce, told me. He said, look, I beat Steph in the three-point competition. I say, man, that man was his rookie year. Was he Steph Curry? Is he the greatest shooter of all time? I don't know how old he was. Okay. Ain't nobody gonna care. Man, this guy was in his 13th year. This guy was in his 11th year. All I know, was that who you said he was? They're not good. They're not. They're just not. And at some point in time, we just got to call it like we see it.

12:18Shannon Sharpe:they got big names but if Watt and Highsmith can't get home if that front can't get home because they got Hebring and they got a couple of other guys if those guys don't get home oh that ball getting completed on the back end it's really that simple it's really that simple but they're not close Ocho they're not I mean look at this they had 11 first downs they were 2-11 on third down they had 221 yards of all. Hold on. That's Aaron Rodgers, their quarterback. Yeah. They had the ball, Ocho, they had the ball for 22 minutes. He had a bad day at the office. He had a bad day at the office. It happens.

12:59It happens to the best of us. It happens to some of the better teams, as we'll talk about later on in the show, teams that we expect to play well. I expect this to be probably one of the better games today. Out of the 1 o 'clock in the front. Yes, me too. I thought it was one of the better games. The funny thing about the NFL, the funny thing about the NFL it's just you get games like this where you're expecting to be um not not a blowout but you expect it to be exciting you expect it to be yes yes going back and forth and it just wasn't that it just didn't give that so it's weird it's weird it's really really weird how that works week to week where you you can never you can never really guarantee what's gonna happen i don't know what

13:41Shannon Sharpe:the steelers were thinking i don't know that they were supposed to be in play for waddle and there a couple of other receivers they should have been in play for but they should have because really they don't have but one guy and if he can't complete the ball to DK it ain't getting completed the other guys are just guys they're guys hey two's low two's three's sometimes you got to win with that sometimes those two's you ain't win no championship with that what you mean they have to make plays they got to catch the ball this is the NFL every team can't have can't have one ones or one twos you just can't you have to do you have to make do with what you got so it's up to those players the Calvin Austins you know anyone outside the DK the tight ends they have they have to make those plays well you need Steve Austin the six million dollar man in Pittsburgh if you're going to make some plays with what they got because Aaron is not what he once was he can't move around like he was like he once did he's not as accurate as he once was because you're forcing him to move.

14:46Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Aaron Rodgers thrown an interception. Man, there were times Aaron Rodgers threw four interceptions in a season. He's got four in the last two games. We never – this ain't the Aaron Rodgers that we're used to seeing. Yeah, he can – the thing is, Ocho, and I've said this, having been having a player that played really good when I was young and as I started to get older, the thing that I tell people, You can have a big game. You just can't have them with the regularity you did when you were in your prime. And we've seen Aaron Rodgers have games that remind you, that is the old Aaron Rodgers.

15:21Shannon Sharpe:But they just don't come with the frequency like they once did. And that's what they need. They needed Aaron Rodgers. They need MVP Aaron Rodgers. That could carry an average or mediocre defense. He can't do that now. As guys get, what do they need? What did Tom Brady need? Tom Brady need guys that could elevate him. He needed a Godwin. He needed a Mike Evans. He needed a K-Dawton. He needed Gronk to come back. He needed an Antonio Brown. Those guys that he once won with in New England had gotten old, and they could no longer do – he could no longer elevate them. So now I need you to help pull me because I can't pull you guys no more.

16:03Shannon Sharpe:I can't carry you no more. That's okay. but if the Steelers was going to stay intact with what they had there's no way they thought that was good enough to win no way no way we halfway through the season they had some good games they had some games where they played well then they had some shitty games like tonight you want to be as consistent as possible you want to be as consistent as possible and being hitting your stride you want to hit your stride offensively and defensively at the right time. You don't want to peak too early. You want to peak too soon. You want to hit it at the right time.

16:38I still think they do have a chance. The fact that they are still first in the division, they got to play better. They got to play better. We've seen teams have games like this and then hit it right when it counts and when it matters most.

16:53Shannon Sharpe:But we've seen them skate by a couple of victories that they could have... I mean, I don't think there were any games that they lost. that they should have won, but we've seen some games that they won they should have lost. That Jet game, if that guy doesn't fumble that ball, but it is what it is. We'll see. They played nine games. They're five and four. There's eight games left. I don't believe they can hold the Ravens off. With the way the Ravens are currently playing, with Lamar playing at the level at which he's playing, I don't believe they can hold them off. You know what? I'm going to let you have that one.

17:33I'm going to let you have that one because I was going to mention who they actually played. And the team they actually played did a phenomenal job today. And there's a reason why they're probably going to win the AFC East and rejuvenize their season. Don't worry about it. If you go who, you can hear them. The AFC East, that's New England's division. That's New England's division. Give us some time. It's eight games left. Copenhagen Spit Free packs American-grown tobacco into pouches. made from when your elbow's deep in an engine block.

21:31Presented by the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Goodbye.

21:36Shannon Sharpe:The Lions beat the Commanders 44-22. Dan Campbell resumed, took over play calling duties from first-year offensive coordinator John Morton. this past week, and it ignited a dominant win. Campbell said he met with Morton for an honest conversation to discuss some changes last Monday, a day after a stunning home loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Things looked a lot different on the field, Ocho. Detroit racked up a season-high 226 yards rushing, 546 yards total. Jamison Williams benefited from the change. He had six catches for a buck 19 and a touchdown. It's the second time that he's eclipsed 100 yards this year.

22:14Shannon Sharpe:The first time came in week two against the Bears in which he had 108.

22:21Shannon Sharpe:Not so pretty in this ballgame. Frustration set in on Deron Payne, who punched Amon Ross St. Brown. Payne was ejected. I can see a potential one to two game suspension coming. Yeah. Easy. Easy. This is not the first time because there was a situation that he got into it with a former teammate. Remember, he got into it with a former teammate. The other D-tackle. And he got pieced up on the sideline. The other D-tackle. I remember that. I remember that. I remember that. Yes, yes. But the NFL is not going to take Kyle into this. I'm saying one to two games, two games on the high end. He's getting a minimum of at least one game.

23:00I say one game. I say one game. If it is, too, it's because he's a repeat offender in general and just having issues like this on the field. They're going to be all right. I obviously frustrate frustration said and I'm not sure what Amon Ross said to him, but it was enough to piss him off. It was it was enough to piss him off. Ken Law said, I mean, Rob punched him first.

23:24Shannon Sharpe:What receiver, you know, Ocho, go punch a D tackle. Me. Me. I don't I don't whoop. I don't whoop on a few people. I had a fight with Sam Adams in the locker room back in Cincinnati when he was with us. hey hey hey listen to me and how many let me ask you a question how many d tackles on the football field did you put on the field oh no i ain't do it on the field i did all my fighting in the locker room yeah so um pain was ejected jerry golf 25 or 33 320 three touchdowns no interception jameer gales 15 carries 142 two tubs uh montgomery 15 to 15 carries 71 yards 33 rush attempts 226 33 pass attempts 320 um almond rossst brown knows uh uh jaymo six catches a buck 19 one touchdown almond rossst brown had five for 58 and a touchdown sam laporta had five for 53 uh raymond had four for 49 mario yoda was 16 to 22 213 two touchdowns uh they didn't run the ball particularly well at all.

24:37Listen, in order for the commanders to even have a chance, honestly, I'm just going to be honest with you. The person that gives them their best chance to win, Mario, he's a good quarterback. He's a decent quarterback. He's a tier two borderline tier three quarterback. In order for the commanders to have a chance playing against a team like the Lions that can score well and put up crazy amount of points, you got to be able to match that in some way, shape, form, or fashion. You have to be able to match their output offensively. And if Jaden Daniels is not playing, it's slim to none. Unless your defense got to play all-out world.

25:08They got to play out world. The goddamn Lions had 546 goddamn yards of offense today, man. 546 yards of offense. These are video game numbers in real life. And this is happening almost every week. Even sometimes in their losses, they put up crazy numbers. They was five.

25:25Shannon Sharpe:What get them in trouble is when they turn it over. When the Lions don't turn it over, we remember that's how they lost against Washington right right right zero turnovers today zero turnovers third down they were five or ten and on four down obviously I don't give a god damn what analytics say forget what analytics say Dan Campbell is going for them four down they were two for two on four down today that's going to break your back every time at the defense because now you're thinking you're going into a game you want to play well especially an offense like that you stop them on three downs boom you're somewhat happy because you're thinking in your mind God damn we can get off the field now we got a punt They got a punt and here they go Fourth and two Fourth and one shoot fourth and four Sometimes they going for it Yeah depending on where they are on the field They definitely going for it Down in distance Position on the field is more determining than down in distance It used to be down in distance If it's fourth and short Ocho we gonna go for it Now we're down It could be fourth and four If they plus 50 they going for it Plus 50 is a good one I think they're a little bit more cost his fourth and anything further than that.

26:30But once they cross that 30 yards, once they cross that 30 yards and they all in, oh yeah, yeah. Hey, this is full down territory for them.

26:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Anything past the 30, it's a wrap. They're going for it. I agree. I agree. But they look good. I don't know how long. I don't know. We've seen this before. He took over the play calling from an ex-teammate of mine, Anthony Lynn, was calling. But I think they had lost a bunch of games that he took the play calling over. So I don't know if he's going to continue to do that or at some point in time turn it back over. But I don't see him turning it back over when they had this kind of production and the Rams. And the Lions looked like the Lions that we thought they were going to look like. With this arsenal, the two-headed monster they got, Gibbs got speed to burn.

27:15Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely. Montgomery run well between the tackle. He can catch the ball. They do a great healthy mix. Both guys got 15 carries. Nobody feels like they're being left out. You know what's funny about that when it comes to the play calling? Remember I told you when Ben Johnson left and we talked about whether the Lions still look the same? I said they still have the same players. They still have the same players. And obviously the merry-go-round of who's going to call the plays and who's not, I think that really doesn't matter just about whoever's calling the plays finding a rhythm and putting those players in position to work.

27:44Now you got to understand, when the Lions do play, the game they play where they didn't look the way they should offensively or based on they didn't look the way we're used to seeing them. Well, hell, the other team on the other side of the ball get paid too, huh? The team on the other side of the ball gets paid too. And you look at games where the Eagles have lost and we're used to seeing them play well. Or Saquon hasn't been going off today. Well, hell, the film is out there now. We know what to do. We know how to stop them. So it's not like they're playing against themselves. They are playing against other people that get paid millions of dollars as well, that watch film, that study, that know their tendencies.

28:20so I think it's sometimes I mean we get caught up in who's calling the plays where they look this way because Dan Campbell was called I really don't think it really matters much because the personnel they have offensively is so goddamn good it's so good they gonna just execute whatever

28:37Shannon Sharpe:you goddamn call but we used to see but that's the thing though I think putting putting that personnel in position because that was the same personnel they had before they got uh uh what's the guy at New Orleans now calling the plays? Oh, Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore, yeah. The guy before, Kellen Moore, didn't do that with that offense. That was the same players. They didn't go to the Super Bowl. As a matter of fact, they faltered down the stretch. When Shane Steichen had them, they went to the Super Bowl. Shane Steichen has a competent quarterback now. Look at what they're doing. So, yeah, obviously players matter.

29:16Shannon Sharpe:It's still Jims and Joes. but somebody got to put those Jims and Joes because, hey, everybody got the same chess pieces on the board, but everybody don't know how to move those chess pieces. You're right. You're right about that. And the funny thing, this is the good thing about when it comes to your tier one players at certain positions, when you have those chess pieces and some chess pieces are a little better than others, where you lack when it comes to calling plays, the chess piece is so good, they can overcome that bad play calling. they can overcome that bad play calling depending on who the player is hell it's a lot of receivers that can save a quarterback that throws bad balls you know I mean I'm trying to say it in that sense yeah but it's still you're right it's still the Gems and the Joes but it definitely helps when people can put people in position to do what they do because you look at Kelly Moore he in New Orleans how they working out for him he still He's running the same offense that he ran in New Orleans.

30:15Shannon Sharpe:He called the same plays, but he ain't got Jalen Hurts, and he don't got Saquon, and he don't got Devontae, and he don't got AJ, so therefore it's not going to look the same. And that offensive line isn't the same. So with that being said, you're not going to get the same results. It's a combination, but at the end of the day, the more good players you have, the better your chances are winning. The Ravens beat the Vikings.

We cruised around L.A. in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and dove into the fascinating life of actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr.

33:30Want the full story? Take a listen. Hedy, she starts dating Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. Do you know a lot about him? I mean, I watch The Aviator, so I know everything Leonardo DiCaprio has allowed me to know about him. But incredible innovator. Right. She says he's a, quote, very strange man. But they do get along really well. Give us examples. I know. They do get along intellectually. And in fact, she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings. And she's like, that doesn't make sense. And so she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of like what the two would look like as a plane.

34:10And that becomes the plane that we know today. And he calls her a genius. Check out our new episode spotlighting groundbreaking innovators like Hedy Lamar and Billie Jean King. Presented by the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Goodbye.

34:23Shannon Sharpe:Baltimore defense showed up today. Season high, two interceptions, 12 quarterback hits. Baltimore stopped the Vikings 11 times on third down, three times on fourth down. After giving up an NFL's worst 177 points in the first five games, Baltimore held its past four opponents under 20 points a game. Marlon Humphrey, that's a big key. The mindset shift, even though we have Lamar Jackson, let's give him a smoke break. Let's give him a day off. He bailed us out so many times. How about we do it for him? Lamar Jackson was 17 of 29, 176, one touchdown. They ran the ball 36 times for a buck 52. Zay Flowers was four for 75.

35:05Shannon Sharpe:I mean, nobody really had a whole lot, you know, they ran the ball today. Derrick Henry was seven for 20 rushes for 75 yards. J.J. McCarthy was 20 of 42, 248, one touchdowns, two interceptions, and they lost a fumble.

35:24The defense played really well tonight. I mean, today. Yeah, they played really well. I don't think this game, obviously, I mean, they scored the points, but this game was won. When you think about the Vikings and how explosive they can be, the defense played really well in all three for hell. as collectively as a team they played well. Justin Jefferson looked a little frustrated today. J.J. McCarthy missed him on some key throws that should have been catches, that should have been big plays. Outside of that, I can read Justin's body language, and I know how it feels as a receiver to have a quarterback that can get you the ball or not put the ball in certain places where it should be.

36:07And so outside of that, Lamar looked good. it wasn't a crazy day offensively especially statistically for him but he had one td then he didn't turn the ball over and this game should have been yeah yeah the ravens couldn't get the

36:24Shannon Sharpe:ball there it's all how many times did they have it a goal situation on joe it had to settle for field goal you know how to that's not the right the one thing we know about the ravers normally when they get the ball down there either lamar is going to throw it in or derrick And I'm like, damn, are y 'all I mean, they had nine points and they like, hold on, let me see what they were I think they were 2-5

36:49Shannon Sharpe:I'm like, well damn I'm like, I said Baltimore y 'all gonna mess right around and let them come back get your ass kicked, score a touchdown and let you kick someone else's ass You know how difficult I mean, you and I both know how difficult listen, it's easy to score when you score from long out. Once you get inside that 20, that 20 and in, especially going against a good defense like the Minnesota Vikings, everything becomes that much more difficult. Everything becomes that much more difficult because they are a good defense, even though they lost today. They are a very, very good defense. And it's easier to read and react when you're in a small area, especially a small area that's compacted.

37:30Shannon Sharpe:We normally say that, but when our team got Lamar Jackson, one of the top three quarterbacks in the league, and you got Derrick Henry, one of the all-time great running backs, it shouldn't be that difficult, Ocho. I mean. It shouldn't be that difficult. Now, you really, really put pressure on a young quarterback. Now, all of a sudden, instead of nine points, you got 21 points. Now, let's see how well you can play. But they got to go, you know, they took the lead in the third quarter. They scored 10 points. than to get eight in the fourth quarter. But I thought, you know, look, as long as the Ravens don't turn the ball over because you can't turn the ball over when your defense is mediocre to average.

38:13Shannon Sharpe:And that's what the Ravens have defensively. Ocho, they don't rush the passer well enough to like to be – they don't get after your quarterback like the Broncos. They don't get after your quarterback like the Rams or the Texans. That's not what they have. They don't have to push them. So the last thing you want to do, Ocho, is turn the ball over, make it a short field. Because the likelihood of you turn it over, they're going to probably cash it in on you. You're going to probably cash it in on you, Ojo. I mean, I wish I could tell you something different, but look, I agree with Marlon Humphrey.

38:48Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I got good news and bad news. Ravens have won three straight games. That's the good news. The bad news, y 'all not getting those games back.

38:59Shannon Sharpe:y 'all not y 'all not getting them games back no no playstation no pool no table tennis no uh uh poppy shop it's it's so funny too it's so funny when you make a move like this and when lamar said listen this is what we're doing we're gonna do it with this stuff so we can we can lock in and focus on football and you start winning and you get a string of wins and mentally you know it has everybody thinking well damn this is the reason we're winning when honestly, just to be honest with you, that has nothing to do with it. That has nothing to do with it at all. No, you're right. Hey! Ocho, we're going to come back to it.

39:38Shannon Sharpe:But here's a guy today who has a second career game with over 200 yards from scrimmage. He had 28 touches, 225 yards, two touchdowns as the Dolphins upset the Buffalo Bills by the score of 30-13. Devon A. Chan. Devon, how you doing, bro? What's good, what's good? D, hold up. D, don't talk to him. Don't talk to him. Listen, don't talk to him. He's been talking trash about us. He's been talking trash about us for a minute, about three, four weeks straight. Hey, D, he calling us guppies. Oh, you rooting for the guppies. You rooting for the guppies. But hey, today, now he quiet. He being real polite.

40:15Keep that same energy. Keep that same energy. You know, hey, hell of a game today, boy. Hell of a game today. and we're as a team as a team, I know things weren't going well. What inspired or what kept y 'all boys locked in when it seemed like from the outside looking in, things weren't going right? You know, your quarterback is saying certain things and I'm thinking me being in the locker room before it would kind of make everybody splinter. How have y 'all stayed together and went out there and been able to perform in a game like today where if you were the betting man, everybody and their mama bet on Buffalo.

40:50Yeah, you know, so I mean, how y 'all did it, man? I'm curious. Man, like, all them meetings that everybody was talking about saying play only means this, this, and that, but, bro, that actually brought us together, bro. Like, like you said, we had, like, the games, like, three, four weeks, all this nonsense people been saying about us. Like, bro, we just make sure that we keep everything, you know, in-house and make sure, like, bro, like, it don't matter who we playing, we got to make sure, like, we go out and we going to play 100%, bro. Like, no matter our record, no matter what they saying, you know, like the media and stuff like that, bro, you sign that contract.

41:26When you're on that field, you got to – I need you playing 110%. So, man, that's all it was, man. That's us bending bones and, you know, that team camaraderie that we got, man, I just feel like, you know, it shows. It showed today because, like I said, like we played a great football game on all – from offense, defense, special teams, bro. And I just feel like, bro, like the work that we put in, bro, I just feel like today was, okay, show like this, like the team that we can beat. Yeah, most definitely. Now, despite all the noise that I get to hear from the outside, I'm sure you guys probably ignore it, but you expect most of the time, oh, teams quit on their coaches.

42:01And I've seen it happen before when things aren't going well or the media talk about, you know, everybody's going to be gone or they need a quarterback. I mean, whatever it may be. But the fact that what y 'all showed today is Mike McDaniel still has a locker room. Y 'all playing not just for him, but for y 'all as well as a team collectively. And I just told Unc, I'm going to tell you what I think. You know, I think y 'all going to run the table. I think y 'all going to run the table. We got eight games left. And, hey, New England in trouble, nigga, as far as I'm concerned. We coming to get there.

42:32Hey, Unc, how you feel, Unc? Unc, how you feel?

42:35Shannon Sharpe:Fins up, Unc. Hold on, y 'all going to run the table? That's what we all know. Oh, y 'all shoot? You shoot Bull, Lucho? See, dude. You should all know. Let me get that, Jordan. Let me get that right there. Let me get that. Hey, hey, Jay. Hey, how your pool game is, Jay? Come on, man. I'm going to get mine right now. Oh, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about, man. Hey, I'm going to have to come on down to South Florida and see what's really going on. Come on, man. It might as well. The opportunity is there. Why not run the table? Yeah, that's it. Why not? You know what? But watching this game is that when you guys can keep the game close and they can keep the ball in your hands, be it running it or throwing it to you.

43:12Shannon Sharpe:You get behind by 14, 21 points, and it's hard to continue to pound the ball because you can't run your way back in the game. You guys got the lead today, and they were still able to hand you the ball. Now, you didn't have a boatload of carries, but you had 22 carries, and you're a threat. There are only a handful of backs that are a legit threat that every time they touch the football, they're a threat to hit the head on the goalpost. You're one of those guys. You, Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley, there are not a whole lot of guys that can hit their head on the goalpost from anywhere on the field.

43:44Shannon Sharpe:You're one of those guys. So when I'm looking at you, tell me what your mindset was. Like, damn, you know, I know what I can do because your name was brought up in the trade discussions. Everybody wanted you. That got to be a good feeling. Damn, but I kind of like it in Miami. That's where I want to be. But like you said, when I'm on the field, man, Every time I text the ball, I'm trying to go to the crib. But that's just the mindset I got. You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to get going. But like you said, man, on today, I feel like... It was... We was like... When we, as an offense, bro, when we not having those little issues for us, like behind the sticks and...

44:23No, false thoughts and like... No, just stuff like that. I feel like when we ahead of the sticks and we stay on schedule, like... We can move the ball against anybody. I just feel like, bro, we just hurt ourselves a lot. and that kind of make us do stuff that we're not comfortable with doing and make us get away from stuff that we know work. Like you said, today, man, when we was ahead of the sticks, we ran the ball good, we passed good. Like you said, we can move the ball against anybody. We just got to make sure we stay on schedule. That's all it comes down to. Honestly, I think a lot of people talk trash.

44:54A lot of people talk trash and say what they want to say. But if we're able to, yes, I said we, because I'm from Miami, I'm from Liberty City. when we able to you ain't playing for the Dolphins though I'm from Miami, I'm from Liberty City this is all I know, all I know is that Miami Dolphins that's it, so it's we it's always going to be we you know the Bengals, he the Bengals

45:13Shannon Sharpe:don't let it fool you, Chance I respect you I appreciate it, I appreciate it but I'm saying if I don't I'm just being honest I know you know saying run the table but if we can minimize, like Dee said, if we can minimize not only the turnovers but the self-inflicting wounds offensively and not have to play from behind the sticks and we can jump out on people and force them to do uncharacteristic things to get themselves back in the game, it'd look like this every week. It can look like this every week. I'm telling you. I think the biggest thing that you guys did today, you guys won the turnover battle.

45:57Shannon Sharpe:Although Tua did have two interceptions, you forced the Bills into three turnovers. And you won the turnover battles. You spoke about how you played in front of the sticks. Man, it's hard to keep overcoming second and 15, third and 12, third and 15. It's hard first and 15. Man, you're not going to make a living overcoming that down the distance, down in and down out. You guys were able to stay in front of the sticks, as you mentioned, run the football when you're like, you know what? Hey, it's second and five. They can run it or they can pass it. and you kept it in a situation where they really couldn't hunker down and said, we know what they're going to do and get a bead on it.

46:34Shannon Sharpe:But you guys played really well. You ran the – well, you run hard. You run every week. It's just that a lot of times you're so far behind, don't nobody really care. Hey, I'm too – you know what? This is a good time because remember when I said the Dolphins are going to beat the Bills and you laughed at me and said, yeah, that's not going to happen? Yep, you said that, Ocho. You said that. And now is a good time. apologize to me and and and d if you want to and in the chat as well you can apologize to the chat as well if you if you if you want to no i'm not gonna do that oh hey hey hey hey hey hey hey guess what we'll see where his loyalty lie because the dolphins play the big

47:19don't worry about we they play it might be tomorrow I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna be there. Oh, who you gonna be cheering for? All my ass. Who you gonna be cheering for? I'm trying to see what jersey you got on.

47:34Shannon Sharpe:What jersey? Yeah, that's what I want to see. I'm gonna wear mature jersey. I bet you don't. I bet it don't. I bet it don't. I'm wearing mature jersey and then... I bet you that man don't have on no guppy jersey. Hey, see how he disrespecting us? that's on me that's on me my man I'm sorry I'm sorry I bet he don't have on that jersey this is the whole thing D and up honestly when Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey played they mama what did they do she cheered for both of them right yeah you ain't play for both teams what are you talking about man with the Dolphins what are you talking about do you know how many do you know how many people with the training camp with the Dolphins.

48:20I put on the jersey and I sweated. I sweated and I got hit. I'm putting the team.

48:26Shannon Sharpe:You see what I'm talking about? I just wanted you to hear it for yourself. Because if I'd have told you, you'd be like, nah, Ocho ain't like that. He like that. He going to have on Cincinnati. He going to be all up in Chase. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hey, hold on. You got to understand. This is my birthplace. That's the only team I know. The Bengals allowed me to live. to live out a childhood dream. That has to be my, you know, that's my team. Okay, what did the Dolphins allow you to do? They gave me an opportunity to finish my career at home in Liberty City in front of all my homeboys, but I fucked it up.

49:03Okay. I messed it up. You a bingo.

49:06Shannon Sharpe:You are a bingo. I got a Dolphins tattoo on my shoulder. Come on now, let him know. Yeah, what you talking about? No, he don't. He got a tiger. No, that's on his shoulder.

54:59Shannon Sharpe:divan and chan had a hundred and seventy seven yards rushing two touchdowns on 22 carries damn man average a damn damn that's what we do down here it was about time i had one of the games it was it was hey hey you plus you saw Hold on. Man, they got James Cook. They talking about Cook over there on the other side. They talking about him. They forgot about it. They must have forgot. Let me go on and do this right quick. He nice. Don't get me wrong. He nice, but defense, they was over on today. Yeah, they did their thing today. They was over on them. Taking the ball away. They did a great job of neutralizing him.

55:42Shannon Sharpe:You did a great job of running the ball. And when you run the ball, you can play action. Tua had some great play action fakes. threw a couple of touchdowns over the top, man. Congratulations. Stay healthy and look forward to talking to you down the road, man. Appreciate it. Devon, they change. All right, boy. Appreciate it, bro. Have a good one.

56:03Shannon Sharpe:The NFL Network reported this morning the Bills offered a 2027 first-round draft choice to the Dolphins for Jalen Waddell, but the Dolphins insisted that it be in next year's first round. do you get the sense that the Dolphins are rebuilding I mean yeah you know they rebuild it we've talked about this before I think at this point regardless of how they do regards to how they they finish the season they're probably going to to clean house nor Steven Ross and the businessman that he is he's sick of the rumblings I think he's sick of the rumblings he wants to change the culture some of the stuff that has come out outside that locker room will come out that's been going on inside that locker room he's probably going to want to want to change course and and try to do things in a different direction no matter what so i think um it's inevitable change is inevitable um so i'm hoping you know uh that all the players do all they can because this is their resume every week each week they're they're auditioning not just for the offense but for somewhere else as well but this doesn't make sense you'd be high why would you trade Jalen water to a division opponent I don't give a damn if they did give me a first round draft pick you're right you're right I mean listen obviously first round pick and for the unknown that's I don't like trading players that you know what what they can do you understand the value that Jalen water is yeah unknown even if it is a first round pick it just yeah but I don't mind trading a player Ocho I got the problem with that but I'm not trading a player like that in my division but the funny thing is Jalen Waddell can't be more than 27 years old if he's that old how old is Jalen Waddell he can't be more than 26 27

57:55Shannon Sharpe:because he came out early he's 26 he's still a baby oh he'll be 26 okay he'll be 26 but think about Ocho why would I trade a 27 year old in my own division a guy that's been to the pro bowl a guy that's had over 100 catches in the season well because you know you know what you're getting ready to do for the future you understand what you and the fact that the fact that they even listen lets you know what's going to happen in the future i mean that's that's all the right the writing is on the wall the writing is on the wall and you can't think like shannon sharp and the people in the chat you can't think like fans you have to think like an owner you gotta think like owner i'll tell you what the cowboys the eagles call the cowboys in march about michael parsons they were so afraid of michael parsons they put a poison pill yeah in the green they have to this ain't no this well this ain't no ordinary player jerry jones understand what michael parsons is you understand how valuable that person is.

58:59You understood that. You wore Jalen Waddle in Buffalo with Josh Allen? In your division? That would have been nasty, bro. Exactly.

59:10Shannon Sharpe:I'm not saying Jalen Waddle is the equivalent of a receiver as Micah Parsons is as an edge rusher. But I'm saying, you put Jalen Waddle with that kind of speed, with Josh Allen, with their ability to play action. That'd be nasty. Man, please. That'd be real nasty. Ain't no way. Ain't no way. Oh, so let's get back to the Ravens. Marlon Humphrey, this has been a big key. The mindset shift. Even though we have Lamar Jackson, let's give him a smoke break. Let's give him a day off. He bailed us out so many times. How about we do it? And they played well. Go back to this Ravens. Ravens on Minnesota.

59:49Shannon Sharpe:I thought, like I said, I thought that the Ravens could have really opened this game up a lot earlier had they cashed in some of those red zone possessions got touchdowns instead of having to kick field goals but hey they didn't but give them credit but they kept going, kept going, kept going and then they finally got the big lead and then they forced a turnover late I think they turned them over on downs. Naylor had five catches for a buck 24, Justin Jefferson had four for 37 on 12 targets. George Addison, he had three catches for 35 yards on 11 targets. So J.J. McCarthy was slightly was less than 42%, less than 50%, 20 of 42 for 248, one touchdown, two interceptions.

1:00:41Shannon Sharpe:They ran, they, you know, ran the ball. Yeah, Aaron Jones looked good. But, hey, the Vikings organization has to be kicking themselves. They got to be kicking themselves for allowing Sam Donald to get out that door. For allowing him to get out that door as well as he played last year. I know the first round of playoffs, it didn't look right. It didn't look good. But Sam Donald gives you your best chance. After seeing what he was able to do, they still let him go for the unknown. And the unknown is what you're seeing right now with J.J. McCarthy. He's up and down. He has some good plays. He's been a dual threat.

1:01:16But, you know, he misses multiple throws, multiple plays. And now you see why they didn't. No disrespect. Now you see why they wanted Carson Wentz to stay in as long as he could.

1:01:28Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But that's what. After he got thrown for Ocho, the way Sam Darnold played, he threw for 30-plus touchdowns. Fewer than 15 interceptions. Bro, you don't let that walk out the door. Everybody's not throwing for mid-30s, high-30 touchdowns with low interceptions. That's not happening. And he had a great report with the receiving core. Aaron Jones ran for over 1 ,000 yards. So now that's going to make Aaron Jones' job a lot easier. And you got Jetta. And you got Naylor. And you got Jordan Addison. And you paired that with Hawkinson. I was surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm not. Because they took this kid with the 10th pick in the draft.

1:02:11Shannon Sharpe:And they said, we took him for a reason, X, Y, and Z. But for$30 million for what they gave him, which is a similar deal to what Baker got from Tampa, now it definitely looks like a bad decision. And the person that hates it the worst is Justin Jefferson. Because he see all these other guys. Guess what? Jettles said, y 'all see what Jackson and Jake were doing? That was me! That's supposed to be me! Absolutely. absolutely this man on pace to go over 2 ,000 yards he's on pace to make Calvin Johnson's record of 1964 I think that's what he doing if the game was close today he'd have another 100 yard game but the game was so out of hand he's like you know what I'ma call it a day but he was cooking man that joke was so quick that joke was quick for no reason he quick he's not slow but he's not fast but he see i'm somebody lightning quick huh lightning yeah i mean i had i had the joy working with him down there at the the word uh whiteout workshop i had you know in july where all them boys came down i was like okay because you know you never get i never get to see him in person i only get to see him on tv so you never know what those players look like when you see him up close i say enough at the Rose Bowl.

1:03:38Shannon Sharpe:Okay. I saw him at the Rose Bowl that year. I said, I don't need to see no one. I don't need to see no one because I ain't never seen. And just the year before, Ocho, you remember just the year before, Smitty had went off against Ohio State. He had over 200 or something. I was like, man, I ain't never seen a receiver like this. And then here come Jig was saying, hold my beer. He went over 300. But you know, I don't give a damn what division it is, a receiver getting over 300 yards in a game. Oh, you did it. Oh, you that dude. You absolutely that boy. Absolutely. And the fact that he did. I don't think people realize how hard it is to get 300 yards.

1:04:17Shannon Sharpe:Wait, he's in year three, right? No, this is his second year. That's it? That's it. He's in his second year. Remember, Ocho, he hurt his hamstring, and then he basically sat out his last year at Ohio State. No, that's. But, oh, he was about to. Oh, he was about after that performance. Oh, he was about to go cray cray. That's crazy. That's crazy. Copenhagen spit free packs American grown tobacco into pouches made from when your elbows deep in an engine block.
