In short

Episode topic: NFL talk centered on the Broncos’ QB situation after Bo Nix’s injury, plus debates about Super Bowl contenders and coaching/front-office decisions; also includes a National Championship preview and Q&A.

Guests/backgrounds

Ocho (former NFL player/analyst persona) and Unk (co-host/analyst persona) discuss games and roster strategy; they also reference Nick Foles’ tweet and Sean McDermott’s postgame behavior.

Key claims

  • Nick Foles sent Broncos fans a message praying for Bo Nix’s recovery and noted the Patriots struggle vs backup quarterbacks in big games.
  • Sam Darnold has a realistic chance to be the first QB from the 2018 draft class to win a Super Bowl; the hosts argue New York didn’t develop him.
  • Sean McDermott was furious about a pivotal interception/catch review involving Brandon Cook and called a reporter from the team plane, which Skirsky said was unusually performative.
  • Bills’ season-ending controversy and performance raise the question of whether they’re closer or further from the ultimate goal.

Notable examples

  • Rivers called in from coaching high school football as a one-week QB security idea.
  • Patriots/defense praise: maximizing undersized players (e.g., James White comparison) and putting Diggs in position.
  • Broncos defensive pass rush and sack totals; Patriots’ low strength of schedule since 2007.

So we shouldn't get the parachute pants? These are making a comeback. I think. Discover is accepted at 99 % of places that take credit cards nationwide. Based on the February 2025 Nielsen Report. Nick Foles had a perfect message for the Broncos fans. It's still reeling by Bo Nix's injury. Foles tweeted, note to the Broncos and their fans. I know it's been an emotional 24 hours I feel for Bo and the team. And I'm sending prayers for a strong recovery.

2:15Shannon Sharpe:A positive note going into the game versus the Patriots is that they struggle against backup quarterbacks in championship type games. Nick you were a starter for a number of years yeah you went through seven touchdowns in a game you were a pro bowl player

2:39Shannon Sharpe:I don't think your situation and Stidham's situations are similar but okay I get it I like it you know what else I like What'd you like? How about in just one week, they called Phillip Rivers to come from home, off the couch from coaching high school football. You know, I know somebody else right now who's in great shape. He played quarterback. You know, I think he played quarterback down there in Carolina. He can come in there, you know, in case things don't go right with Stidham. You know, have some security, a little security blanket, you know, to back up a little bit, you know. You think Cam has thrown a football in the last two years?

3:17Huh?

3:17Shannon Sharpe:You think Cam is throwing a football in the last two years? Yeah. Yeah, he's still working out. No, that ain't what I said. I said throwing a football. Yeah, part of his working out is throwing a football. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, I'm just thinking about a little security, just something to have in your back pocket. You know, Mr. Payton, I'm sure he can dial up some plays and some things that Cam can do to make it difficult, you know, difficult for a team to be able to key in on what they're used to seeing from the broncos and you bring in you know you know it's a lot harder to play the game oh joe being off and coming back when athleticism was your main key the reason why philip rivers could do it because he never relied on athleticism he wasn't going anywhere before he retired five years ago tom brady never relied on athleticism that's why he could play till he was 43 44 years of age but when you're reliant on that and that's no longer there then what do you do hey you right you right see a possession receiver he can play a long time cause he's not reliant on speed so you're telling me I can come back he can be according to NFL stats the Patriots have faced the lowest strength of schedule that any team has faced since 2007.

4:42Shannon Sharpe:Well, they were 4-13 last year. They have the 10th lowest strength of schedule in NFL history. Look, I mean, I'm sure people thought, they were like, we got the Patriots. They were 4-13 last year. They probably checking it off as a win. Exactly. Not understanding what Vrabel was bringing to the table. Structure and discipline. Had them look like the goddamn old Patriots without number 12 out there. They look good. They're a good team. Their defense, their physical team. Yeah. They got guys. Hey, I like the little Jones kid. He's a little punk returner. Yeah. And in the slot corner. He tough, Ocho.

5:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he nice. He tough, man. He tough. He's a really good player. I think the only thing that we can say, Ocho, he's a Patriot. he plays like all those other Patriot guys that have played, undersized guys, the James Whites of the world. Guys that probably not a whole lot of teams wanted. But somehow the Patriots find a way to maximize a guy like that. Every time. Every time. Defensively, Milton Williams, Jennings, Chason, Landry, look they're a really good team offensively Diggs isn't what he once was but he can make plays all you got to do is put him in position all you got to do is all you got to do is give him opportunity and I always say that as players get older and obviously as players get older especially receivers or people that play skilled positions offensively if you give them the opportunities you gave them when they were younger they still gonna make those same plays yeah they still gonna be able to make them i mean i mean that that's just that's just the way it is most of the time you're not afforded those opportunities you know once you hit your 30s you know those those those balls and those volume of of balls you would you you would get thrown your way in your 20s and 22 and 23 boy you hit that you hit that 30 on and you you by the you You're in year 9-10?

7:01And they start weaving your ass about the offense? I think the thing is, Ocho,

7:07Shannon Sharpe:he's coming off an injury also. So, you know, it's like, okay, we know what you were, but you are close to that age, or you're saying 30, and you're coming off an injury. So, are you still that guy? Are you going to be close to that guy? See, the thing for Diggs, which is really good for him, is the fact that he's in New England. Yeah. He's in New England, and he's not in a place where it's like a place where he's the main guy, the main focal point. Yes. They ain't got no main guys. Exactly. There's so many other moving parts. There's so many other moving pieces where, you know what, ain't no telling whose day it's going to be if you play for the goddamn pass.

7:46Ain't no telling. But look, the Broncos defense can get after the quarterback.

7:55Shannon Sharpe:if Houston did that on the road I can just imagine what it's going to be like when it's noisy and the Bronco players can get off the snap of the ball you got Allen, you got Benito, you got Coop, you got those interior D liners for

8:14Shannon Sharpe:To-O-Toe he was playing a hell of a game today too To-O-Toe Yeah, he's Samoan, huh? Sound like it. Yeah, okay, that's my Uso. Toto. But no, I thought those guys played really, really well today. Unfortunately, their offense kind of let them down a little bit, Ocho, by not, you know. Ocho, they ran the ball 22 times for 48 yards. Woody Marks had 14 carries for 17 yards. Chubb ran four times for 14 yards.

8:54Shannon Sharpe:it's hard when you're one-dimensional like that. Yeah. And they know you can't run it, and they know you've got to throw it. You've got to throw it, yeah. It's tough. It's tough to win games like that, Ocho. But Houston's going to have some serious questions they've got to ask themselves. Because, Ocho, you're going to be asking to put$300,$300. They say$300, yeah, we're signing$300 million. dollars. $300 million, don't you? You got to be absolutely certain. Because if you give$300 million and he's not it, he's going to wreck your franchise. Yeah. He'll wreck your franchise. That's tough. That's tough.

9:39It is. But I agree with you, don't you?

9:41Shannon Sharpe:He's going to have to play that fourth year. He's going to have to play the fourth year. I'm going to pick up that fifth year. Yeah, and that four is your proving year. Again, normally, the third is your proving year. Most of the time, regardless of what position you play, your third year is you're making a breaking year because the first two, okay, you know what? Third, you should be coming in. Okay, I got it figured out now. Yes. I got it figured out now. And the third year, you're hitting that trampoline and you're going forward from that point on. Yes. I agree. I agree. It is what it is. But New England, you look at Ramondre Stephens 16 carries 70 yards.

10:16Shannon Sharpe:Trivia on Henderson, 12 for 25. Look, they didn't blow you away one of the football. They averaged, what, 3.33 and a half yards a carry? Carry, yeah. I thought the Texans did a great job of neutralizing the run, and that's something the Broncos are going to have to do. And the Patriots are looking to run the football after they saw the success Buffalo had. Because the one way you slow down a pass rush is running the football. Now, the problem that they have is that they don't fear Drake may take it off like they did Josh Allen. No. Does he have legs? Yes. But he's not Josh Allen. No. He's not Lamar Jackson.

10:55Shannon Sharpe:He's not one of these guys that can escape from 20 yards out, 30 yards out, and hit his head on the goal post. And the thing with Josh Allen, Josh Allen's 250 pounds. He ain't looking to go down. And corners and safeties ain't really looking to tackle him. Tackling, no. And Lamar going to shake. You don't want Lamar in the open field because he's going to shake you. You're not going to tackle him anyway.

11:19Shannon Sharpe:But it's going to be a great matchup. Would I like it better if – but I think Carlton Davis is out for next week, isn't he?

11:36Shannon Sharpe:Oh, he was just out for the game? They just ruled him out for the game? Right. But I – Okay. Right.

11:51Shannon Sharpe:It's going to be interesting because, like you said, I mean, you know, the Texans can – but the Broncos finished like 20 sacks in front of the Texans. So you know they can jump off the rock. Benito had a nice game yesterday. and you can see speed causes their left tackle problems. And Anderson sometimes, hey, he ripped him. Sometimes he bored him. Sometimes he snatched him. Switching it up. Yeah. And then you had the other guy, Danell Hunter, on the other side. He was cutting ass. So when one guy cutting ass on one side and another guy cutting ass on the other side, what'd you do? and then you still got two guys in the middle that could collapse the pocket.

12:39Shannon Sharpe:You got big rankings in there. And a good back end. Yeah, yeah. And the Broncos got a good back end. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

12:52Shannon Sharpe:So, I'm anxious to see. I can't go out there. I can't go. I was thinking about going. If Bo was playing, I probably would have gone back out there. Peyton wanted me to come back out there. Peyton Manning. That's what if people when he was doing this like what I told him but you know you in the box That's like man. I'm good. Look, I'm coming back And that's what pace that you come right back here Go right back here cuz he saw gonna feel like hey come by the box. Yeah, you know I really like to bother people. I was cool. I was right right. I had done had about 15 drumsticks I said well damn People ask me who he with He ain't with me Eating all these people food like that I said well damn Well shoot if you ain't gonna go back If you ain't gonna go back and Peyton Manning ask you to go back I was gonna ask you if you wanted to come to the national championship game tomorrow Ocho What happened I just left New York I got back went straight to Denver Now I gotta turn around and go to LA I gotta go to LA on Tuesday Hold on hold on what that mean I just left New York left New York came to Miami I did the show woke up at 6 in the morning flew to Brazil for three days flew back this morning watched the game on the plane landed doing the show right now I gotta wake up tomorrow I'm gonna go to the national championship tomorrow then I gotta get on another plane I gotta fly to Saudi Arabia I mean what we talking about you like but see the difference is you like traveling like that I don't I'm no I I got to pay.

Because when you do, when you do stuff for free at the beginning, Ocho, what's the incentive to do business with you? I mean, I mean, the keep, the keep, because, you know, the people, the reach we have now, it's extensive now.

23:01Yeah, it is. Okay. Absolutely. Yeah. So.

23:05Shannon Sharpe:Sean Payton has a belief in his backup quarterback, Jared Stidham. Payton, I know how he was coached in New England. He'll be ready to go. He'll be ready for the moment. One of Stiddy's great strength is his mental aptitude and his progression and understanding plays. There will be practices. I'm looking at D.C. Vance Joseph getting pissed because Stiddy is making our defense look bad. He's very accurate. He's got a lot to his ball. I mean, you know they're going to say all the right things, right? Yeah. He was coached by Josh. Didn't Josh have him in Oakland? Didn't he go to Oakland with Josh?

23:49Yes, he was there.

23:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he was there. With Josh, right? And then Josh had him in New England also. Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay. Yeah. It sounds like you don't got too much faith in Stidham, huh? I mean, I know he's not Bo Nick. I got faith in Sean Payton. Hey, I trust that defense. As long as he don't put the ball in harm's way. I mean, shoot. Don't put the ball in harm's way. Well, you don't want him to be gun shy either. You want him to be able to play football freely, don't you? You see the guys that play football freely? They're home. Brock Purdy played freely.

26:03Shannon Sharpe:We're lost. It feels like we're going round in circles. I'm going to ask that man for directions. Hi there. We're trying to get to Wisconsin Dells.

IGN declares it's electrifying action cinema and popcorn entertainment to the max. How many of you are there? It begs to be seen in a packed theater. Please remember to clean up the blood. Wow. They will kill you only in theaters tomorrow. Rated R. Under 17, not admitted without parent.

27:35Shannon Sharpe:Sam Darnold has a very good real chance to be the first quarterback from the 2018 draft to win a Super Bowl. You remember, Ocho, Baker Mayfield was the number one pick. Sam Darnold was number three. Josh Allen was number seven. Josh Rosen who's no longer in the league was 10 and Lamar Jackson was 32 remember the Ravens traded back into the first round pick 29 32, you pick 32 oh my bad, you're right

28:11wow

28:15Shannon Sharpe:Sam Darnold was never going to reach this potential this level of potential in New York. In New York? Because they have nobody to coach him and the organization is not good.

28:27Shannon Sharpe:It's really that simple, Ocho. Yeah. I mean, let's not overcomplicate this and try to make it more than what it is. He was never going to be what he currently is in New York. Name a quarterback that has.

28:40Shannon Sharpe:There it is.

28:45So... Hey, who played them? We ain't got no games tomorrow.

28:48Shannon Sharpe:The Broncos play first. They play at three. Tomorrow, right? No, you talking about the Caves and them? Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, well, I'm thinking today's Saturday. See, I'm all off. I'm all off. No, I thought yesterday was Sunday. I'm getting old, man. Damn. Right now, who's winning the Super Bowl? 44 % say Seahawks. 27 % say Rams. 24 % say Patriots pulling up the rears, my Broncos at 6%. Yeah, I mean I figured the Broncos would be last simply because Bo Nix is out. Correct. I mean, it's crazy to think that obviously well, obviously I would give the ads to the Seahawks because they're good on both ends.

29:36They're good on special teams. All three ends. They're good on special teams, they're good on offense and they damn sure good on defense. So I can understand them being first.

29:47Shannon Sharpe:and they're at home Sean McDermott was still so upset over how his team season ended he called a reporter from the team plane to complain about it McDermott, how you do that? I thought they said no cell phone you had to have your phone on airplane mode I don't think they mean call I think he went up to him like call him to come up oh okay yeah

30:14Shannon Sharpe:he called a reporter from the team plane but anyway McDermott was furious what he saw was a clear catch by Brandon Cook wound up being rooted in the interception even after criticizing the call during the post game press conference he doubled down by calling reporter Jay Skursky of the Buffalo News while on the team plane to offer further frustration. McDermott argued that the play was not even closed and that he was angry over what he saw as a rushed replay review for such a pivotal play. Skirsky went on to admit that getting on a phone call for McDermott for this express purpose was so unusual it probably won't ever happen again in my career.

31:05Yeah, I think that's so performative. you heard me I think it's performative at this point obviously you already said what you need to say at the presser after the game you said it extensively in how you obviously you did it in a way where you didn't want to chastise the referees you didn't want to get yourself fined you didn't want to get yourself in trouble with the NFL and you just you know you expressed your displeasure with the call and what you felt it was but based off being consistent based on the rules I mean I thought it was an interception too hell and I'm an offensive player so I would always root for us you know the offensive end for it to be you know in their favor but I mean that transition was so smooth from catch to take away to roll over and DB has a ball

32:07Shannon Sharpe:that's interception. My question to you and I think we saw it twice. We saw it with Mike Tomlin and we saw one step down mutual. We don't know but Mike Tomlin's not coaching the Steelers and the other one with the Bravens. The question is with everything that was removed for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills to get to that ultimate destination are they closer or further away?

32:41Shannon Sharpe:I believe Steve Bishotti looked at it and said I believe we're further away. Well it's different. McDermott ain't been there 19 years though. Ocho this ain't no lifetime appointment. This ain't no Supreme Court justice okay? You don't get no lifetime appointment as them head coaches.

33:03Shannon Sharpe:So So we went from AFC Championship to Divisional to missing the playoffs. Yeah. The Steelers, Mike Tomlin tied, Marvin Lewis, seven consecutive, first-round exit come playoff time. Yeah. You're looking at it. Are we closer or are we further away? Mm-hmm. I think the Pagoulas are going to have to ask themselves. Right. are we closer or are we getting further away

33:42Shannon Sharpe:you think they need a new voice I said that I said they don't win it this year I thought they move in a different direction I could be proven wrong that'd be a really sought after job too absolutely because why you got a quarterback in place big time not just any quarterback yep got two really good tight ends you need a receiver you got a running back yeah you know you know hey speaking of good receiver yeah you know the number 11 is available over there in uh in buffalo chat 11 yeah see you stay with stay with me now pick a are you not picking up what i'm putting down i bet the chat picking it up yeah what is that you just said the buffalo need to receive and i said number 11 is available in chicago come on 11.

34:42you said the bills need a number one receiver yeah and i said the number 11 is available in chicago come on now pick up what i'm putting down i don't know the number 11 who Burton nah man the chat got it come on man AJ Brown is in Philly I

35:08Shannon Sharpe:so you said no you said number 11 is available in Chicago no I said in Buffalo you said Philly I'll do AJ Brown no we talking about Buffalo you said in the end yes they need a number one receiver you said 11 from Chicago I said number 11 is available in Buffalo. The Jersey number. You said Chicago. I said Buffalo. Chad, what did he say? We talking about Buffalo. Why would I say Chicago? Because that's... That point exactly. He said you said Chicago. That's what I'm talking about, Chicago? What number 11 in Chicago? I said Chicago for real? yeah you said Chicago I don't know why everybody looking at you I'm like Chicago what number 11 in Chicago I was like the only 11 I know I'm like JSN I'm like Chicago I'm like Chicago I just you know I don't know where because we were talking about the Bears so I would think about I'm just saying you know you said a 11 in Philly is available oh AJ no no no no I was I was trying to say, you know, due to the turmoil going on over in Philly, and you mentioned in Buffalo.

36:25You ain't mentioned Philly. You mentioned Chicago. What turmoil? I meant to say Buffalo. Stay with what I'm trying to put together. What does Buffalo got to do with anything? Buffalo need a receiver. They don't have any turmoil. And I said number 11. There is no number 11. The jersey number is available in Buffalo, which means I'm trying to say. You said Chicago. So you're not going to pick up what I'm putting down at all. I can't pick up what you're putting down because you said Chicago. I meant to say Buffalo. So if I meant to say Buffalo, now put everything together, I'm trying to say after that.

36:59Shannon Sharpe:I can't go by what you meant to say. I'm listening to you, and that's why I'm looking. I'm like, okay, Buffalo. I'm like, Chicago? Chicago ain't got no number 11? Now you're being difficult for no reason. How about Chad? Chad, what am I missing, Chad? You're missing the point. The point is, what you said, you said Buffalo needs a receiver. Buffalo needs a number one. And I made a mistake and said number 11 is available. I meant to say Philly. Number 11 from Philly is available to be in Buffalo. How am I supposed to know that, Ocho? By putting it together. You couldn't even put it together. So how can you expect me to put it together if you didn't?

37:39Because you the smaller of the two. So why you can't get it right? Jack I tried

37:47Shannon Sharpe:I tried to figure out Buffalo needs a number needs a receiver yeah okay there's a number 11 in Chicago Chicago

38:01Shannon Sharpe:okay who's in Chicago come on here you go I said Burton I'm like I meant to say Buffalo I was there trying to say the fact that you mentioned Buffalo you meant to say Philly no I meant to say no you're not understanding the Jersey number nobody wears number 11 in Buffalo okay yeah Buffalo needs a number one receiver I see a Jersey number is available in Buffalo number 11 so you're supposed to put it together there's only one receiver that we're number 11 in NFL JSN wear level oh you know JSN ain't You're nowhere. Come on, man. You see what I'm saying? Come on, man. You're a girl. Stop. You coughing again?

38:51Come on. Is that number 11 in Buffalo? Who wears those on 11 in Buffalo? Oh, ain't no number 11 in Buffalo.

39:00Hey, hey, Ash. You say what? Why are pigs so bad at sports?

39:12Shannon Sharpe:why are pigs bad at sport Ocho because they hog the ball

39:22oh

39:24Shannon Sharpe:Ocho Ocho Mitchell Trubisky is number 11 in Buffalo the backup quarterback and he gonna take that 11 off for AJ Brown what you talk about he gonna take it off take it off his back I'm not paying you nothing. We're talking about A.J. Brown coming at a play wide receiver, numero uno. I don't care if it was Prince Charles. Take that off of A.J. Brown. What you talking about? Mitchell. Mitchell.

I mean it was the point of seeing you$29.50 and I might as well send the whole 59. Ta-da. So you don't want to bet? What you want to bet, Ocho? You just told me.

46:01I told you if Miami lose, I'ma buy a case of La Portillo.

46:07Shannon Sharpe:All right, bet. Bet. And if Miami win, then I ain't got to pay you back your 59. Bet.

46:17Get me out this debt. Get me out this debt, UM.

46:22Shannon Sharpe:All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. Get me out this debt, baby.

46:35Shannon Sharpe:El Prey 98. Ocho, as far as the scenery goes, which is better, San Paolo or Houston?

46:46Houston Houston I done been all over the world and chat chat listen I done been everywhere literally everywhere I ain't I ain't seen nothing like Houston boy which is why I talk the way I do when it come to never wanting to visit there you know to keep my my my whereabouts and and and and and mental stable that don't make no sense been everywhere and you know there are beautiful people

47:14Shannon Sharpe:everywhere but houston is houston just seems to have more of them i don't i don't get it i don't i don't get it i just don't oh yeah but i mean i'd be a the brazilians now they be having the models they Yeah, they got something. Yeah, they nice. It's nice. My baby was with me. So he was out there. But ain't nothing like that Ace Town, boy. Nah. They got him. They got him used to y 'all. Y 'all doing it. Yeah.

47:57Shannon Sharpe:Tussac, 867. Bears had so many opportunities to win this game. Why I like to go for it on fourth down when you're in field goal range, knowing this will be a low-scoring game due to the weather because they've gone forward on fourth down. They've got the two-point conversion. This is what you do. So you have to live with those decisions. They've been doing it all year, being aggressive. Southside tone, I blame Ben Johnson for this loss, not kicking the field goals and not using Caleb's legs. Well, I mean, Caleb, they used his legs some, but I'm surprised he didn't kick the field goal because now that touchdown gives you the lead.

48:35Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. The touchdown doesn't tie you. It gives you the lead. Now they got 17 seconds to try to get down to the field. And score, yeah. And score a touchdown because a field goal because you got a four point. You leading by four.

48:50Shannon Sharpe:There you live and learn. They had an unbelievable season. They have something to build on. Oh, yeah. And at 27-39, love y 'all boys, been watching since day one. What would you both consider to be your most heartbreaking loss and why? Well, y 'all know mine, Jacksonville. Shit. I done lost so goddamn much. I don't know which one was losing. Bam. That's tough. Mikey Jones, should the Vikings trade for Geno Smith or Matt Jones to start at quarterback next year? Is that enough? They're not letting Matt leave San Francisco. I can tell you that. they're not letting Mac Jones out of there no and plus Mac signed a two year deal if he was looking to you know get under Shanahan's tutelage and learn as much as he could and then he'd sign a one year deal but he signed a two year deal for a reason now I'm sure for the right price he can be had yeah Patrick Rendon Bill Belichick looks even worse now seeing that the Patriots are going back to the AFC Championship and Bill's Super Bowl window is officially closed.

50:02Shannon Sharpe:Look.

50:07Shannon Sharpe:Coach had a way of doing things. It served him well for 20 years.

50:13Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, so y 'all just want the Patriots to just like for another 20 years just keep winning. Win another six Super Bowl over 20 years. So y 'all wanted to win like 12 Super Bowls in a span of 40 years.

50:26I mean

50:27Shannon Sharpe:they won nobody has had the kind of success in the history of the NFL that the Patriots have enjoyed yeah and it's still not enough they being greedy Hennessy and hip hop Ocho y 'all need to start streaming on Twitch y 'all make more money I don't know well I don't play no video games I mean I would if I could play video games I would get on Twitch and beat Ocho down a couple of video games nah, matter of fact, or you could because no one is in that space doing it you should just jump on there anyway, whether you know how to play or not I do call a duty and beat the brakes off you nah, man come on Unk man Unk I'm a shooter man I'm gonna get me a gaming thing and set it up you heard me Unk oh that's funny okay I'm gonna give me a game and thank you Jordan go set it up okay there you go set it up you get your twitch I'm gonna get me a twitch I mean I already got a twitch I be streaming huh oh do you yeah Battlefield Call of Duty EAFC

51:44Shannon Sharpe:PlayStation and I know Xbox yeah or get you a PC like me matter of fact hold on I can turn mine around so you can see it look watch this let me see

51:59Shannon Sharpe:yeah I need that what I that's what I need yeah you know I got I turn my other office into my gaming area

52:14Shannon Sharpe:Baba Patel if I'm Houston I ain't extending CJ this offseason play out to your contract and prove you deserve another one. I think that's more probable than not, that he plays that fourth year, they pick up that fifth year option, and the fourth year is to make it a break-it deal. Mm-hmm, yeah. Try Pharma Ux, thanks for being so engaged with your audience. I try. It's Maddie, CJ is hot garbage. He should have gotten benched at the half. Davis would have given them a better chance. Stats don't lie. Put the fries in the bag, CJ. Damn.

52:57Shannon Sharpe:I mean, he played really two bad games back-to-back, Ocho. He got away with one on Monday night because his defense bailed him out. The defense played extremely well today. Don't let the 28-16, don't let that overshadow. I think they played really well. They just didn't get scooping scores or pick six. Right. because had they gotten it, it would have been a different story. But the defense played well. I mean, it's just hard when your quarterback is just turning it over and putting you right back on the field.

53:30Shannon Sharpe:ZZ, JHD1ZZ, whoever is saying that CJ doesn't have his receivers, look at Purdy. He didn't have no one and didn't stink it up like CJ.

53:44Shannon Sharpe:CJ, look, like I said, I don't know if it's the offensive coordinator. I don't know if it's quarterback coach. But if I'm D 'Amico, I got to figure this out. Because you can't assume that the Chiefs are going to be down again. You can't assume that – well, I can't assume that Cincinnati is going to be some trash because they've been – but anyway, that's neither here nor there. But when you look at New England, New England's not going anywhere. Are we saying that Lamar and the Ravens are going to be down again? Jacksonville, look good. We saw Indy had like at eight, nine games, Indy had the best record in the NFL until Daniel Jones got hurt.

54:27Shannon Sharpe:You can't keep squandering opportunities like this, Ocho. You just can't. You've got to cash in on them at some point in time to catch up with you. Baba Patel asked One thing's for sure Ocho's gonna find Every reason to defend A player It's ridiculous The league got Tapo striled After his rookie season Simple as that What the fuck Did I defend I said he played bad What are you talking about Double X all day J09 double X I've been saying Ever since CJ Tried a little bro Caleb He's never been the same Stay humble Stay hungry Shaking my head What is NFL man This thing those great players, they just make it look easy.

55:08Shannon Sharpe:This game ain't easy now. At all. Very difficult. It's not easy. Name, named. CJ obviously didn't make the best choice, such as the pop fly pick six. True. But that pass D still should get credit for a four looking nearly as good as the Texas defense.

55:32Shannon Sharpe:I mean, you talk about a top five defense. I mean, I think the Texans, the Seahawks, the Broncos, the Patriots, and the Seahawks. I think those are the top five defenses in the NFL. There's no surprise that they made the playoff. There's no surprise that what? The four top defenses are playing. Well, three of the top four defenses are playing on Sunday for a chance to advance to the Super Bowl. that's not a shock Dominican Crypto Papi give the pass credit I think we have I think we gave them credit you don't get to this point without getting credit I don't know what y 'all want us to I mean what

56:17Shannon Sharpe:Drake May was 16 to 27 379 three touchdowns one pick but he had four fumbles he had three turnovers He had three turnovers.

56:35Shannon Sharpe:Sir, trucks a lot. Unk May is a good quarterback, and any quarterback would struggle against the Houston defense. Campbell struggled big time today and last week. Should the Patriots move Campbell to guard and bring Lowe or another lineman in? No. You select him. I think he's a top five pick. Hey, he's going to take his bumps. He's going to take his lumps. I mean, he's going against one of the premier pass rushers. And guess what? It don't get in either because now he got Benito. They had 14 sacks this season. And they got several guys that can come off the edge. So he got his work cut out for him.

57:17Shannon Sharpe:And then if they win, guess what? You got to deal with Seattle. You got to deal with D-Law. You got to deal with those guys. So his work does not get easier. Nope. Passed up, Ocho, as a kicker, are you able to kick a field goal barefoot like Carlos did in the cold against Cleveland AFC Championship game back in the day? I mean, yeah. Yeah, you know, I grew up with no shoes. I grew up with no shoes. So obviously I had to adapt, you know, to being able to kick soccer balls, being able to kick footballs without a shoe because I couldn't afford shoes growing up. So yeah, I could. Ashley Joblair, Justin Herbert is my favorite quarterback.

57:55Shannon Sharpe:Do you think he'll ever win a Super Bowl?

58:00Shannon Sharpe:That's one of the hardest things to predict. Because so many things have to go. I mean, he could be right there on the cusp and then gets nicked like both. It doesn't happen. But it's not getting easier. It's getting harder and harder because the quarterbacks are getting better and better. Teams are getting better and better. Mm-hmm. G Hernandez, Rooms. Ocho Unk told me if your Pats beat the Broncos, you don't have to worry about that little 5 ,900. No, because his team ain't make the playoffs. See, if you had jumped on the Pats early this year, you'd have a team looking at right there, Ocho. Hey, I don't jump on bandwagons, Unk.

58:45Ocho, you play for them. I ain't do nothing there. That's okay. Nah, I'm good. I love what they're doing. I appreciate it. I'm happy for their success. But nah, I don't jump on no bandwagons.

58:58Shannon Sharpe:UT 1984, I think the Patriots are winning the Super Bowl because their offensive defense are amazing. They ball hard, and I feel they really, really want it. Well, I think the last four teams that's in there, I think all of them really, really want it. I think the Broncos run the football the least out of the four teams remaining. they're the only one that's going with their backup quarterback in this situation I can make a case that they got the best pass protecting offensive line because Bo Nix was sacked the least of any quarterback in the NFL they got two first team all pros at left tackle and right guard McClitchie is a solid right tackle

59:43Shannon Sharpe:so we'll see Kumar Rams Rams pass is inevitable Rams want revenge for that as I would say some bull jive that happened the last meeting letting a 30 to 13 lead go Stafford about to go ham and seal that Hall of Fame resume with a second ring

1:00:06I sure

1:00:07Shannon Sharpe:will not when you said CJ wasn't the same commented that you clearly don't watch the games it's his offensive line. I guess that's why you and Ocho are the experts and I'm driving trucks. My bad. But you didn't mention offensive line when he was playing good. You said CJ. I hear you say no. I hear nobody say nothing about an offensive line. You see like when he plays well is quarterback quarterback quarterback when the quarterback doesn't play well and then you find all the reasons why he's not playing well and you don't want to put the blame on him. I got no problem. If you said his offensive line like CJ doing this in spite of an offensive line.

1:00:47I said,

1:00:48Shannon Sharpe:okay, you know what? Let me take a closer look at this. Okay, I see. But that's not what y 'all did.

1:00:56Shannon Sharpe:Jersey B, Uncle Nocho, sorry to address this, but if you are Texas, do you entertain moving CJ or there is no way you moving? Thanks for the content. Nah, you're not moving. Nah, I'm moving hell nah. Maybe he moving. Moving from Cypress to another the area, Ty. But I ain't moving him off this damn team. Hell nah. Kevin Slam, Auburn. Unc, could you see LeBron coming back to Cleveland for his last season? And would you rather see Ant-Man or Wemby play together? Luka or Giannis?

1:01:32Shannon Sharpe:I don't know if Luka and Giannis can play together because they're both too ball-dumbed. And I don't think either guy is good at playing off the ball. Giannis might be, Giannis need the ball to get downhill. heel. Giannis can't catch and shoot. He ain't really good in the mid-range and Luka's not playing up the ball. Probably Ant-Man and Wimby. EC 137 Street. What do you think about Brian Dayball as a possible OC for the Texans? I like it. I like anybody better than what they got right now. Go Doctor. Based on accolade stats, who has been the best, who has the best argument for the Hall? Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Steve McNair.

1:02:14Shannon Sharpe:All won an MVP. All went to a Super Bowl and lost. Honestly, I think it's going to be hard for all of them to get in, for any of them to get in. I really do.

1:02:28Shannon Sharpe:Matt Ryan, probably because of his numbers, Ocho. Yeah. How many, what does Matt Ryan have as far as yards? Like 60 ,000 and like 390, 400 touchdowns?

1:02:45Shannon Sharpe:62 ,000 yards. How many touchdowns?

1:02:50381.

1:02:51Shannon Sharpe:I think Matt Ryan probably has the best chance, Ocho. Yeah. I do. But I can see a scenario where he doesn't get in because it's kind of like, Ocho, you know, like

1:03:05Shannon Sharpe:like it used to be if you had like 900 or 1000 receiving receptions that was automatic now you need 11, 12, 1300 because guess what they throw the ball so much more they added games

1:03:26Shannon Sharpe:so numbers that we like man that was like a 10 ,000 yard rusher now you will need 14 ,000, 15 ,000 rush yards to get in the hall Jordan Ben High is F it's time for DJ Moore to go we need to trade him for Crosby he legit gave up on that last round he was jogging and wasn't even looking at Caleb who could DJ Moore be traded to well first of all you ain't traded for no Max Crosby. So you get that thought out your head. He just got there. He made some plays. Remember he caught the game with a touchdown against the Packers just last week. Damn, man. Y 'all fans be harsh. Hey. Dante Williams Ocho look

1:04:24Shannon Sharpe:look at phones with shades. Looked like a phone with shades. big old teeths 6 foot 8 Aquarius why did you take Ocho to an ATM where at the movie premiere does he really owe you money yeah another man owe me money not me not after this game tomorrow you ain't gonna get nobody oh you gotta purchase a case Rashid Hakeem Hickson. What do you think about the Texas defense feeling about CJ? It's tough. They're not feeling happy with CJ. Because like you say, bro, I mean, we had a quarterback to 143 passing yards.

1:05:17Shannon Sharpe:105. I mean, basically, we held them to less than 300 yards of offense. Yeah.

1:05:29Shannon Sharpe:That concludes this episode of Nightcap. I want to thank each and every one of you for joining us. We had an overtime game, Chicago. The Rams take Chicago down in overtime by the score of 20-17. And the Patriots forced four first-half interceptions from C.J. Stroud as they pull away the second half, and they win 28-16. The Patriots are on the road next week to take on the Broncos for the right to go to the Super Bowl, while the Los Angeles Rams played division rival in Seattle for a right to go to the Super Bowl. So it should be very interesting matchups. Thank you guys for joining us. Y 'all know who I am.

1:07:20Shannon Sharpe:We greatly, greatly appreciate that. We also want to thank Jaquan McMillan, J-Mac, for joining us. He had really the defensive play of the game, one of the best plays of this weekend, where he was almost beaten for a big first down that would have put the Bills in field goal range. But in the process of coming down, he takes the ball away from Brandon Cook and gets a turnover, and the Broncos go down the field, and they kick the walk-off game-winning field goal. So thank you, Jaquan, for joining us. We appreciate that, and good luck this weekend. Again, the Rams beat the Bears in overtime by the score of 20-17, and the Patriots take down the Texans by the score of 28-16, thanks to four first-half interceptions by C.J.

1:08:06Shannon Sharpe:Stroud. I'm up. He's Ocho. We'll see you tomorrow night after the national championship game between the Hoosiers and the Canes. Again, thanks for joining us. Bye-bye.
