2:38Puka Nacua:That ugly red couch you've had for a decade? It's been living with you way longer than you ever thought it would.

Now, you can fill your home with the standout pieces you've coveted but couldn't afford, and you can finally kick that sad sofa straight to the curb. Welcome to HomeSense, the home of no compromise.

3:08Shannon Sharpe:Ocho. Yeah. Remember we talked about it, Ocho. What happened? The Ohio State, they put on the show today, Ohio State's Sonny Styles, official combine. He ran 4-4-6. He tied for first. The 1.56 10-yard split, tied for first. He set a combine record for linebackers, a 43-and-a-half-inch vertical, which was the best all-time for linebackers. His 11-2 standing long jump was the best in this group. It was the fourth best all-time. Sonny Stiles' profile, he's 6 '5", same height as Calvin Johnson. The 244 is three pounds lighter than Derrick Henry. The 4.46 that he ran is the same as Bijan Robinson. The 43.5, Bert, is the same as Nate Robinson.

3:56Shannon Sharpe:And, well, the 13.5, which is 11.2, is the same as Julio Jones. The other guy, Averill Reese, I think he ran 4.46 as well. So we won that bet because he's supposed to be under 4.49. So we won.

4:12Sonny Styles:hey hey boy the measurables the intangibles and the numbers jump off the roof and when you turn the film on you get exactly just that as well i'm not sure where young bull is gonna go but i guarantee you whatever his draft stock was before the combine even if it was already high it just

4:34Shannon Sharpe:climb a little bit higher i said this the one thing ohio state guys can do is they can test Jesus. I don't know who the strength and conditioning coach is and I don't know if he went somewhere else though, Cho 'e Train. Right, right. Because you know they got facilities in Florida, they got Arizona, they got Cali, they got Texas, you know Michael Johnson put a got a speed cap going. Yeah. I don't know but all I know is this, Ohio State guys, they can go

5:00Sonny Styles:boy. They can go. Hey you saw Reese? Did you see what Ava Reese tested that too?

5:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

5:08Sonny Styles:Hey man.

5:09Shannon Sharpe:And they had Caleb Downs on that. So they had three guys. I mean, they got top guys on that defense. And they had the D linemen. I forget the D linemen. But they got a couple of D linemen. But one of them is graded really high.

5:24Shannon Sharpe:But 6 '5", 244. That's crazy. With those measurables. Hold on. A full-full, huh? Yeah. A full-full? At 244. 6 '5", Ocho. That's crazy. That's crazy. These guys get ridiculous with it, man. These guys get, I mean. And I think they had like, hold on, they had like four or five linebackers that ran like sub four or five.

5:53Sonny Styles:That's crazy. Hey, what was Javon Kirsch? You remember Javon Kirsch's stats at the combine? Did he even do the combine? I think he did. You think his stats were probably similar, huh?

6:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Freak was a man. You had to see. I mean, I got him with his absolute apex. Yeah. At his absolute, absolute best because he came in at 99. At Tennessee. And I was there in 2000 and 2001. Right. So I saw him at his absolute apex.

6:19Sonny Styles:Oh, yeah. I don't think either Chet might not remember. Y 'all remember Chet? Y 'all remember Javon Curse? They called him the freak. Oh, my goodness.

6:28Shannon Sharpe:He was like 6 '5". He probably like 265. You got it. I mean, he had crazy. He had crazy measurables. Shredded.

6:37Sonny Styles:oh yeah yes yes hey um i see i seen freak not too long ago in the airport man he still look the same do it hey yo i'm like why you look like you can still play i seen him at f1 in miami too like god damn boy

6:59Hold on.

7:06At 265, he ran 458.

7:11Shannon Sharpe:He had a 37-inch vertical, a 424 in the 20-yard shuttle. But at his pro date, he ran 443 at 260. he was even faster. Yep. He was defensive rookie of the year. Obviously, he had 14 and a half sacks. That's crazy. Oh, freak. These guys are getting... You give these guys, Ocho, it's kind of like you give these guys a test. This is okay. This is the exact test. I'm going to give you six weeks. I'm going to give you eight weeks to prepare. This is the exact test that you're going to take. All these guys do is run 40s, shuttle, vert, standing brawl jump, 225. That's all they do. And they take the wonder leg.

7:59Shannon Sharpe:That's all they do. The exact answer. Yeah. They eat, sleep. They work out twice a day. They get the right nutrition. What you're trying to do, you're trying to take weight off. You're trying to gain weight. You're trying to keep the speed. Right. Shakes. Everything is prepared. You probably take out a loan. You know, your agent give you a little bread. Say, look, this one's going to cost probably cost you$20 ,000,$25 ,000. you go here and you run 4-4 you done made it back

8:24Sonny Styles:yeah you done made it back plus some tenfold plus some it's so funny chat it's so funny if it a lot of players that's going to go to the combine that maybe been overlooked maybe their film they don't pop out on film as much as they should but that 40 yard dash that 40 yard jazz can change your life the 40-year-old can change your life depending on what you run especially you run a staggering time based on the position you play man listen that your life can change in the blink of an eye if you're not one of those top picks you know that that is always on everybody's radar especially you played at the power five schools where everybody knows what you can do but there are going to be some sleepers on that nobody knows about when the receivers run Saturday Saturday?

9:20Sonny Styles:Man, I can't wait.

9:23Shannon Sharpe:We won for one? Who didn't pay it out? He ran, no, he ran 4-4-6. Yes, who didn't pay it out? Oh, okay, you said we won for one. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. He panned out. I was like, yeah, because all he had to do was run under 4-4-9. Yeah, he ran 4-4-6. Okay. yeah so who we got next who we got up next

9:58okay

10:02okay no i think yeah but here's the thing if you play fast and you don't test fast if you don't

10:12Shannon Sharpe:they're going to go back and look okay yeah he jumps off the screen so why didn't he run faster right because normally got this is what look at a guy if a guy can stand in long jump or he convert that means he's explosive so he's probably going to be good and really good in the 40 guys that are good in the 40 they normally because that's explosive energy right so normally it translates so if i want but at the end of the day now the tape is the most important thing always all I'm hoping is that boy this joker here he jumps off the tape give a prime example Michael Parsons go back and look at Michael Parsons tape he jumps off the field now he comes to the combine everything that you saw on tape

10:57Sonny Styles:is there you know it's funny too chat and why the combine is so important especially that 40 yard dash because you can't teach speed no oh you can't teach speed i can improve it but if you improve it if you if you

11:18Shannon Sharpe:fire flat i can't get you down to four four i'm sorry no no no no no no no no you can't but when

11:24Sonny Styles:you when you find those gems on you know those four twos and those four threes and and they can they can they can carry their pads as they call it because there are a lot of people that that test fast but they play slow correct especially when they put them damn pads on yes well god damn what happened yeah son run i am damn you running yeah like everybody can't carry those pads man it's

11:48Shannon Sharpe:weird a lot of time ojo when guys are not don't they they they're fast they thinking because if

11:54Sonny Styles:you're thinking yeah you can't play fast no you can't because you like well damn am i am i run

12:00Shannon Sharpe:bro go go go yeah and so that's why i say guys learn your playbook the only way you can maximize your ability is to know the playbook. Playbook, yeah. Know where you're supposed to go and get there in a hurry. Yeah. He who hesitates beat. Every time. So you can't think. Because if you're going against somebody you're thinking and he's not, he gone. Mm-hmm. He's gone. So, but those guys, them linebackers, they put on the show today.

12:33Sonny Styles:Yeah.

12:35Shannon Sharpe:43 and a half inch vert. But see, here's the thing, Ocho. that's different than what the NBA tells the NBA let you run and jump

13:57Shannon Sharpe:Unless you know how explosive you are.

13:59Sonny Styles:Yeah.

14:00Shannon Sharpe:Look at track guys. I bet if you were to test track guys and stuff like that right, they're explosive you see how them jokers get out Ocho? you gotta be explosive to get out like that mmhmm

14:13Sonny Styles:oh man

14:14Shannon Sharpe:yeah but I think Gerald Sinsenball still has the record at 45, Burt Byron Jones has the record 12-3, Stephen Paella got the record in the bench, he did 49 reps at 225 how many? 49 Hey, he got 50 right there, Ocho. He got it right there.

19:37Sonny Styles:Oh, yeah. he get after it. He gonna cause some havoc, man. He gonna disrupt everything you got coming.

19:46Shannon Sharpe:I hate playing guys like this because he's so unpredictable. He lines up in a nine and he jumps inside and he's a damn five. Bro, that ain't what you supposed to do.

20:00Sonny Styles:Yeah.

20:02Shannon Sharpe:And so you can't overset him or he'll cross your face. but then if you don't step with enough power he gonna push you back into the back he's hard guys like this and there aren't very many but you have a guy he's like a junior say out junior's supposed to have to tidy up the scene he in the A gap bro how you rest his soul bro hey

20:35Sonny Styles:Boy, you got to hear Shannon Crowder tell the stories about Junior Seau when Nick Saban was with the Dolphins. But when I tell you Crowder had me on the floor, dying laughing, it was so funny, man. Hey, them old Junior Seau stories are hilarious, boy. Hey, buddy.

20:55Shannon Sharpe:Hey, buddy. Everything was buddy. Everything was buddy. Yeah. I'm like, bro. Man, hey. So when we just scout team, whoever played Burns, my best friend, he was always the Mike backer. Coach said, do whatever you want. Hey, don't even worry about the cards. Do whatever you want. Man, sometimes he be running up under the wide receiver. He's supposed to be blitzing because that's what Junior would do. You had no idea what Junior's going to do. He's supposed to be in the B gap. He in the A gap. He's supposed to be in the flat. He in the hook. Yeah. like

21:37Shannon Sharpe:I know I got Junior but did you see where he went he went to the C gap back side I can't get him I'm on the right side he went to the C gap

21:46Sonny Styles:he went all the way to the C gap you know what's so funny about that is what Junior Seau used to do there are two other people there are two other people that used to do that always line up where they had no business been but when the ball snapped they were in the right place at the right time always that goddamn Troy Palomaro and those exotic defenses that they used to call with the Steelers and goddamn Ed Reed Ed Reed is the only safety I've ever seen he played 30 yards back like he's receiving a punt and he come forward what the hell are we doing how you coming forward at the snap of the ball his reign both of them their range from sideline to sideline was like no other and then they understood almost every play and knew exactly what was coming offensively.

22:35Sonny Styles:They knew where everybody was going to be. They understood the assignments on where the weaknesses were in the defense. They took advantage of it every time. They took the chances because they knew the ball either. The ball had to come out and they would jump it every time. Every single time.

22:53Shannon Sharpe:Ed Reed is the best safety I've seen. I've never seen a guy. There are only a handful of guys who could take the ball away like Ed Reed. Rod could take the ball away like Ed Reed because they had great hands Rod got 70 interceptions I don't know if in today's time somebody's going to get that number ain't nobody getting Jerry Krause's 81 ain't nobody getting that record but I've never seen anybody take the ball away and he take the ball away and turn it into points that's what was so amazing

23:23Sonny Styles:it's so funny and if he knows he's not going to score oh he's going to pitch it back Oh, yeah. They pride themselves on every time we get an interception, we think about six points. Yep. We don't care about no stats. I'm going to pitch it back, and if we trying to go to the house.

23:43Shannon Sharpe:The internet did this thing predicting what Fernando Mendoza might look like in seven years with the Raiders.

23:52Shannon Sharpe:I don't think that's going to happen. No. I definitely don't think that's going to happen.

24:02Sonny Styles:that's funny

24:06Shannon Sharpe:the NFL network cameras captured Aaron Glenn the Jets head coach after three and 14 rookie season appearing to nap as prospects like Texas Tech David Bailey ran to 40 yard dashes this obviously went viral Ocho is this a big deal or no I mean They're going to make it a big deal They're going to make it a big deal

24:29Sonny Styles:Yeah I mean they're going to make it a big deal Mr. Glenn was obviously sleepy Try to I don't call them naps I call them quick little blink He took an extended blink I don't think it's a big deal Obviously it's not just you there as a head coach Obviously we have a team of people there To let you know if there's anything that you might miss You're doing your homework you have scouts That's what the damn scouts are for I mean, yeah, you have everybody you need to there. So I'm sure people will make it a big deal because you are the head coach. Honestly, it's really not, man. Get your little nap in, whatever it may be.

25:04Sonny Styles:It's a long day. You've had a long day. People don't know what goes in and entails in being a head coach and all the hours that they put in, especially around draft time. Oh, you up early?

25:13Shannon Sharpe:You up early?

25:14Sonny Styles:Long time. Because you probably got your meeting with your staff before you head over there.

25:20Shannon Sharpe:So they're probably up at the crack of dawn. They got meetings with players. You know, you get your players that you want to talk to, okay. Have a conversation with them. For the most part, they're not going to be like Ty. Because, you know, you have meetings. Obviously, Ty is going to come off the board. The Giants call Ty in there. Ty is sitting down. He's looking around. He's like, hold on. Where did y 'all pick? He picked 15. He's like, no, I ain't going to even be there.

So you just have to be mindful. The camera's looking to catch everything. They're looking to catch everything, bro. So you just got to be mindful. You got to be mindful.

33:19Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, the Colts have given Anthony Richardson Sr. permission to seek a trade. His agent told ESPN, the former 2023 fourth overall pick, has made 15 starts for the Colts, throwing 11 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, while battling a string of injuries, including a shoulder surgery, a fractional orbital bone, and vision issues following the procedure. The Colts are expected to move forward this year with Daniel Jones and 2025 draft pick Riley Leonard at 1-2. Ocho? Yeah. Where do you think Anthony Richardson ends up?

33:53Sonny Styles:Oh, that's a good question. That's a good question. I mean, what teams are willing to develop Anthony Richardson and allow him to be a backup? I mean, that's the part I don't know. I'm sure there's someone, some team that might give him a chance. But that's tough. That's tough. You understand the quarterback position. It's a premium position. Yep. And it's very, very important. So I'm not sure. I mean, your guess is as good as mine. Who's willing to give him a chance? that's the only thing.

34:29Shannon Sharpe:And you might have to go be a backup for a couple of years. You know what I'm saying? Because we look at Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold left, he went to Carolina. That wasn't a great situation for him. Remember, Ocho, he went to San Fran before he went to Minnesota.

34:44Sonny Styles:Yeah.

34:45Shannon Sharpe:And he said it was there where he learned how to play the quarterback position. Yes. So now he goes to Minnesota, parlays that, plays really well, goes to the Pro Bowl, and boom. That wasn't enough to convince the Vikes to keep him. He goes to Seattle and the next year he wins a Super Bowl.

35:07Sonny Styles:Damn, man.

35:08Shannon Sharpe:I think a lot of it's going to be contingent on Ocho. How much do I have to give up for Anthony Richardson? I mean, the best you can probably hope for is the fourth-round pick. Right. You're not getting the first. The top five pick and three years later, you're getting up off it. Four years later, you're getting up off it. Ocho's four.

35:27Sonny Styles:he had the Colts you know he had the Colts right in the palm of his hand huh you know I mean he kind of forced their hand in a sense with some of the issues that were going on internally that we didn't know about obviously I've heard about him and obviously his play on the field it's like and then Daniel Jones comes in and takes the team that we thought there were issues and look at look how things turn around

35:54Shannon Sharpe:Ocho when you had the conversation I said This is going to be an issue And everybody jumped on up Man you old school Man let that man live Let him breathe I said guys You don't understand how locker room works You can't do some of the things that he's doing I'm not look I don't want to beat the young man up But I'm just telling you the mindset They paid this man a lot of money And you think that you can be the last one in the building And the first one out You think you can take yourself out of the game and that's just going to be okay. See, I think you guys are looking at it from – you're not looking at it from a team perspective.

36:29Shannon Sharpe:You're not looking at it from a competitive perspective. Okay, you work a regular job, Ocho. Hey, I'm tired. I ain't going into work today. Or I'm going to leave work. You can't do that in the NFL. You can't. Yeah. Because you can, but they're going to get you up out of there.

36:48Sonny Styles:Yeah.

36:51Shannon Sharpe:They're going to get you up out of there. It's really that simple, Ocho. It's really that simple. Yeah. And the mere fact, Ocho, you a rookie, and having a team meeting to have to talk to you? I've never heard that before. You played a long time, I played a long time, and we stayed around the game. I've never heard of a team having to have a meeting to talk to a rookie.

37:13Sonny Styles:Not that position. And the quarterback? Not at that position, no. Absolutely not. That's the one position you shouldn't have to worry about. You shouldn't have to worry about. No.

37:23Shannon Sharpe:but you can't, everybody can be replaced. You just hope it comes later than sooner. Sooner, yeah. But they will. They'll eat that money. Whatever they gave him, 30 million guarantee, they'll eat that and write it off. Absolutely. We've seen, them teams, they take on 80 million, 100 million dead cap.

37:48Sonny Styles:They don't care.

37:49Shannon Sharpe:They don't care.

37:50Sonny Styles:They don't care.

37:50Shannon Sharpe:They don't.

37:54hopefully he bounces back and gives an opportunity.

37:59Shannon Sharpe:Sometimes, Ocho, you have to go through something to really appreciate it. I think he really appreciates the game of football now. He dealt with some injuries, the shoulder injury. The pre-accident with the band pops him in his eye, fractures his overall, and he has vision issues after that. I think his agent said everything, the vision is healthy, it's healed now. Everything is good to go. but maybe this is the wake-up call that he needed. I sure hope so. Yeah. I sure hope so. I think he got put in a bad situation. I thought he was a project coming out, watching him at Florida. Yeah. Yeah, I understand all the measure with Ocho.

38:41Shannon Sharpe:You're talking about somebody 6 '4", 6 '5", 245, running 4 '4", can throw the ball, stand in long jump, all of that. That's a great project. All that stuff does not equate to playing the quarterback position. Yeah, that's a great question. it does that oh who cares let me ask you a question what are you gonna be doing the superman jumping over the top right now if you go if you got a a something like the tush push where jayla hurt 600 pound squat comes into effect right for the quarterback with a 40 inch vertical what good is that gonna do be unless he had the one yard line going over the top like walter peyton right you're

39:11Sonny Styles:right right but listen that was a good project to have based on the measurables that was a great project to have it just i don't think they oh i can't say they didn't give them time to develop because they did their due diligence.

39:24Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question. They still fixing your grandma's house. When you asked Chauncey that you put Chauncey up, you couldn't move right back in there, could you? Nah. Because it was a project. You see? He was a project, and they tried to get him to play right away. Right. You didn't develop it. So now, if you take time, possibly develop him the right way, you said he was a project. Everybody said he was a project. Yeah.

39:52Sonny Styles:They ain't got that kind of patience though.

39:54Shannon Sharpe:Well, you should have left him alone.

39:56Sonny Styles:Hey, they don't have that kind of patience

39:58Shannon Sharpe:We should have left him alone. Yeah, if you're Ocho I get a car. Oh, this is a fixer-upper What I look like trying to drive it when it put me down side the road on the interstate and I'm mad man This boat man Ocho this mofo put me down side the road. Well, you said it was a fixer-upper Yeah So that means you got to take time to fix it up he's a project that means you got to invest time in him to get him up to par but they can't

40:27Sonny Styles:invest time because the longer you wait you understand what's coming up soon after that third year I do

40:36Shannon Sharpe:boy they didn't let Patrick Mahomes play his first year he damn sure could wait yeah

40:46Shannon Sharpe:you moved him up it's hard for me to see a scenario your Ocho. Now I don't know and I forget who was in front of him but it's hard for me to believe based on what he was when he actually got in the game he had shown you enough in training camp and mini camps and OTAs that yeah this guy deserves to start right now. It's just hard for me to see that scenario.

41:13Shannon Sharpe:And so when I look at it like that they didn't do him they didn't do any favors and he didn't do himself any favors. Yeah.

41:24Shannon Sharpe:That position, you got to know everything frontwards and backwards. Every position. Not only do you know what they're doing. You got to know what you're doing. You got to know what everybody on the offensive line. Hey, look here, man. Y 'all need to redirect that. I know we're supposed to be going rip, but let me and Liz this. And let's throw hot. Let's throw hot at the guy coming in my face. Not the guy that's going to drill me in the back. Not only do you got to know what pause. not only do you got to know what you have to do not only do you have to know what the quarterback you have to do what the entire offense you better know what that defense doing oh yeah you got to you better know what they doing Ocho you got to but I just hope the young man I hope the young man finds a home somebody have some patience and

42:16Shannon Sharpe:And he develops. Somebody develops him. But see, the problem is, Ocho, is that if I trade for him, I got to take the contract.

42:28Sonny Styles:Yeah.

42:31Shannon Sharpe:I like him. I ain't in love with him. I like him. I mean, man, I like this outfit. if it was$500 cheaper I like the quarterback Ocho if I could get him at minimum

42:51so but

42:54Shannon Sharpe:I think the contracts are guaranteed so

43:00Sonny Styles:it is what it is I wish him the best though I hope he find somewhere where he can develop and what he has to do is is he has to make football his number one priority. I don't think football was his number one priority. It wasn't. From what I'm hearing, it wasn't. He has his other passions, and he's putting those other passions before the game of football.

43:26Shannon Sharpe:Not when you young coming in. Get you about 10 years in the league. Yeah. Then. Tommy, if you go back and look at most of these guys, they didn't really do nothing until they were really, really established.

43:42Sonny Styles:Right.

43:44Shannon Sharpe:You got to win something first, bro. You can't be trying to get in all the commercials and you ain't won nothing. Right. I get it. You know, everybody, oh, man, you may have got to have something. You got to do something. You can't be football 24-7. Well, if you play that position and you want to be good at it, it better be.

44:00Sonny Styles:Yeah. And everything else will take care of itself after that.

44:03Shannon Sharpe:There you go. Ocho, Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup are training together this offseason. Take a look at this.

44:14Wait.

44:16Sonny Styles:What month we in? We in... February.

44:26Sonny Styles:February.

44:27Shannon Sharpe:I didn't start. I didn't start. I took off. I took off. I didn't start. I didn't start back until probably like March the 10th.

44:35Sonny Styles:Yeah. I mean, I didn't start back till March either. I mean, that's kind of early eating. Let your body rest!

44:43Shannon Sharpe:Puka caught 129 balls, Ocho. He caught that many. So, how many times did he get hit and he didn't catch it? So, that's another 15, 20. That's 150 times you done hit the ground and somebody fell on top of you. Man, let your body heal, guys. Ah, man.

45:06Sonny Styles:Yeah, I don't know. hey they're great at what they do maybe they're starting off slow gradually maybe not doing any football stuff just do that look slow to you keep not it was moving exactly exactly listen

45:24Shannon Sharpe:man I let my body heal Ocho I mean look cause I really didn't start running Ocho until late March April Ocho what good is me peaking in June and I don't go to camp till the damn end of July. And the season's not till September.

45:43Sonny Styles:Right. And obviously maybe you want to get the body rolling and get the body in somewhat of a groove for the offseason program. But that's not till April. Yes.

45:56Shannon Sharpe:Because the

46:01Shannon Sharpe:first camp is going to be like the end of April. I mean, no more to what we're doing. It's not like we're doing a whole lot. I figure if I start last week of March, give me a good month, I'm good to go. For all what we're going to do. Now, obviously, training camp, that's a whole different story. But I believe these guys did it. And that's what I said, Ocho. Remember I told you? I said, Ocho, these guys ain't giving anybody a chance to recover.

46:26Sonny Styles:Yeah.

46:31Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, time to play a fade presented by PrizePix.

46:48Shannon Sharpe:Cade Cunningham, 36 combined points and assists. So he'll have at least 36 when you combine the points and assists. He's averaging about, ooh, that's going to be close because he's averaging 25.5, and he's averaging like 9.5 assists. So that's 36.

47:16Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to say yeah, they ain't got nobody to DM up.

47:23Shannon Sharpe:Jared Allen will have at least 25 points and rebounds combined.

47:31Sonny Styles:yeah he's six eight he's he's seven feet tall yeah but they got jaylen duran so they got somebody to match him hey dirt i do it with duran by 6 11 huh yeah damn

47:49Shannon Sharpe:but they ain't got no other big other than him because i don't think stew back yet when does azale stewart come back

50:01Shannon Sharpe:gonna wait till we get a few questions in okay why zoo enjoyed the bowling content y 'all appreciate that oh you enjoyed seeing me get hurt huh Eric Jordan Scott keep three cut seven great wide receiver additions T.O. stays Devontae stays Calvin Johnson stays Julio stays Steve Smith stays oh you're only keep three we got to cut seven well T.O. is absolutely staying Megatron is absolutely staying but then you get Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, Tyreek Hill, Devontae Adams, Julio, Steve Smith, D-Hop.

50:52Shannon Sharpe:I'm taking T.O. and Calvin Johnson. You get the last one. And what's category? You get to keep three. It's 10 wide receivers. You keep three. We're keeping T.O. and we're keeping Megatron. So now only one other receiver can be kept is either marvin harrison reggie wayne andre johnson tyreek hill devontae adams julio jones steve smith or andre deandre hopkins oh my god yep so we got to and who to and uh uh uh megatron

51:28Sonny Styles:okay we already have all right we already got size and speed i'm gonna go with i'm gonna go with tyreek hill to give it give it give us a different dynamic based on the other two we already have I'm leaning towards T.O.

51:43Shannon Sharpe:we already got T.O. I mean a Julio or Devante

51:48Sonny Styles:you got Julio you already got two big two big two big big receivers already I don't care about

51:53Shannon Sharpe:no size okay about who I can throw the ball to what I know they're gonna make them plays okay I'll take another T.O. if he was available the hell you talking about T.O. absolutely

52:05Sonny Styles:Right, right.

52:09Shannon Sharpe:Man, that's tough.

52:10Sonny Styles:Yeah, that's a good list.

52:12Shannon Sharpe:T.O. got 153 touchdown catches, over 1 ,000 catches, over what, 15 ,000 yards. I wish Julio could have stayed two more years in Atlanta.

52:26Sonny Styles:Ooh. He'd be up there. Stay with Matt Ryan. The only reason they let him go was just because of the injuries. Yeah. They got sick of, you know, being hurt. But, man, he was the animal boy. Oh, my goodness. He was the animal boy. So, you taking Tyreek?

52:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

52:45Sonny Styles:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just to mix it up a little bit. All right.

52:51Shannon Sharpe:Led Zeppelin rules. Laker excuses. They lost to the sorry sons. I mean, when somebody loses, you explain why they lose. Okay. I guess the Patriots are sorry, even though they lost in the Super Bowl. but they sorry. The Rams lost in the championship game. You don't want an explanation of what we think happened? Right. Not an excuse, but hey, I get what you're saying, bro. Kaleidoscope, Lakers can't win a ship with Luke and Ruth in the back court, even if post-LeBron error. No defense. Reeves should go to a man-new, Jamal Crawford six-man type of role.

53:30Shannon Sharpe:They're not winning. And I agree with your kaleidoscope because they can't play defense. They can't. And they two guys ain't winning. You look at the teams that are really good, they deep. Look at Detroit. Look at OKC. Denver, when they're healthy. The Knicks. Boston. They're deep. Two guys ain't winning no more.

54:06Shannon Sharpe:Nevin Ben Burgess do you think Palenka needs to let go this coming season also should Luka walk away in 2028 I think Luka needs to go as Lakers don't have assets Luka want that max contract he missed out on one $340 million contract I don't think Luka's gonna walk away in 2028 that contract could be $400 million wait a minute

54:31Sonny Styles:wait a minute you said walk away if he doesn't want to be there he can get it somewhere else

54:36Shannon Sharpe:though no you can't get the fifth see what they can give you is a fifth year right when you go somewhere else you can only get the fourth year so now that fifth year is 80 you know 80 million tough boy Brian BB gaming do y 'all like the song Saturday by Sherelle and Alexander O 'Neill that song is fire It's so far, much love. Wait, Saturday? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

55:08Sonny Styles:Oh, okay, okay, okay. What you know about that? Who said that? What they know about that?
