26:08Shannon Sharpe:age zero to ten five start the first place tie in the afc north despite lamar not had his mvp form lamar has been held on the 200 yards passing for three straight games for the first time in five years he also has gone back-to-back games without a touchdown pass for the first time in six years lamar was asked if he felt fully helped felt uh felt fully himself in the recent weeks and if injuries are holding him and the offense backs. He said, I can't call it, but I'm out there, so I feel like I should still be able to do what I do. I feel like we just need to execute a lot better. We're getting great field position, but we're not putting points on the board, and that has nothing to do with no injury.

26:47Shannon Sharpe:One of the biggest changes in the game has been the decrease in rushing. He holds the record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback, and he's averaging a career low 29, less than 30 yards rushing per game. And Derek Henry, they carried him. Ocho, normally this is when you see the Ravens run the ball 34 times, it's normally 200 plus yards. Yes, sir. They ran the ball 34 times a day, less than 100 yards. Yeah. I mean, listen, it's something weird about this season. It's something weird about this season when it comes to certain teams that we're used to seeing be very dominant, especially offensively.

27:22The Chiefs, it looks weird. It looks very weird. The Baltimore Ravens, it looks weird. You know, even when they were healthy, They started out 0-2, huh? They started out 0-2. So they really haven't been able to get themselves in a groove before Lamar got hurt. But the fact that they've been able to come back and dig themselves out of a hole, and Lamar being back now, it gives them a chance no matter what. They will always have a winning chance as long as eight is back there. As long as eight is back there, they're going to be all right. At some point, that offense is going to have to hit their stride.

27:58They're going to have to hit their stride The defense is playing a little better as opposed to how they looked at the beginning of the season. Ain't no way in here they still...

28:06Shannon Sharpe:I don't want to put too much in because they played the chance, Ocho. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Let's... Okay, I got you. I got you. I mean, they had 26 carries for 76 yards. Yeah. But for the Ravens to run, for the Ravens, Lamar was 13 to 23. Oh, D-Hop ran a stutter goal so sweet, and he threw it out the end zone. Yeah. Did you see? I don't know if you saw that, Ocho. I missed. D-Hop ran a stutter goal. Ocho, he ran a stutter so sweet. Yeah. And he missed him. And Lamar missed him. Yeah, I didn't see that play. Hold on. Let me get my charger. Go ahead.

28:53Shannon Sharpe:Lamar was 13 to 23, 153. No touchdowns, no interception. He was sacked once. Derrick Henry had 21 carries for 64 yards. Again, as I mentioned, they had 34 rush attempts for 98 yards. But they did have two touchdowns. Derrick Henry did get the ball in the end zone twice. But offensively, for something, they seem to be off. And I don't know why.

29:17Well, this is Lamar what? It's only a second? No, it's third week back, right?

29:22Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, it's probably about his third week back. Yeah, third week back. I mean, as he goes, the rest of the team goes. So when he gets back into rhythm and he starts feeling that confidence back again, then I think everything will pick up. Well, it's going to have to. After Sunday's loss, the Jets, 2-9, have officially clinched their 10th consecutive losing season and extended a brutal streak for the worst. Reports suggest that Glenn's job is safe beyond the 2025 season, but he'll have his work cut out for him if he plans on actually turning the troubling trend around. Ocho, the Jets need a quarterback.

30:00Shannon Sharpe:That's it. I don't care. I don't care who the coach is. They've had a lot of coaches, a lot of them. Without a quarterback, you're not going to win. And I don't really see anybody in college. Look, I'm making a trade for Kyler. If I can give up, I'm not giving up no first for him because I know y 'all want to get rid of him. But if I can get off a second or a third, Ocho, I would do that. For Kyler Murray, do you have any other options? I'm just thinking. Who's going to be available? Veterans that can come in and make somewhat of a difference? No. Matt Jones signed a two-year deal with San Francisco, so he's not going anywhere.

30:46Shannon Sharpe:Sam Donald's under contract. Baker's going to be, they're going to extend Baker. Matthew Stafford probably get another, get an extension. I don't see the veteran quarterback. Russell Wilson, you got Russell, you got Jameis. Jameis played unbelievable. We're going to talk about Jameis here in a little bit. I mean, Russell Wilson. Hey, Jameis, hey, man. You know what, Jameis for MVP. I don't give a fuck. My bad. I don't care what nobody's doing. I don't care about, hey, listen, I love Matt Stafford, but Jameis after today, Jameis for MVP.

31:18Detroit.

31:19Shannon Sharpe:The Lions beat the Giants in overtime. Jameer Gibbs ran for a 69-yard touchdown on the first snap of overtime, had a career-high 264 yards from scrimmage to go along with three scores. Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka helped Detroit, too. Kafka went for it on fourth and goal from the sixth when his team slumping leading by three instead of kicking a short field goal that would have forced Detroit to score a touchdown. Giants' Malik Walker let his frustration be known on Twitter as Bleak Neighbors. What did I say? Bleak Neighbors let his frustration be known on Twitter as he called out his team's decision making against the Giants overtime.

32:00Shannon Sharpe:This is what he tweeted, Ocho. Sometimes I think they be making us lose on purpose because ain't no way for you to throw the ball instead of running it and make them burn them two timeouts. Then you don't kick the field goal. Then you have to go down and score. Football common sense. The tweet was quickly deleted. First, Jameer Gibbs, Ocho, man, this is college. You don't normally run the ball 15 times for 219 yards. 15 for 219, two touchdowns. And then he caught another 11 for 45 on 12 targets. Armand Roth St. Brown had 9 for a buck 49 and a touchdown. They, look, Jameis, 18 of 36, 366. two tubs one pick uh hey gunner oshefsky hit uh uh man what you call him one of that touchdown so bad who jamis james wanted that touchdown so bad he wasn't going he wasn't going down he wasn't going down but james is so funny young man just having him out there on the field man playing was playing with such a smile he's so entertaining so infectious you know i'm i'm happy for him obviously I'm not sure if he started next week but if he is starting next week again I'm going to be tuned in I'm going to be tuned in because just just seeing him out there man it brings just a joy for me you know as someone that can't play the game anymore I get the vicariously living through watching him play man but that's hey that young bull Wondell Robinson Wondell he had himself a day 9 for a buck 56 in a tub boy you showed up today boy boy you showed up today I don't I don't know where you've been, but they need to give you more targets.

33:46They need to continue to put you in positions to make them plays. God damn, boy, you was cutting the day, boy.

33:51Shannon Sharpe:You the real deal. And the guy that closed the deal at the end of the game, Aiden Hutchinson, got the sack to preserve the victory.

34:04Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, we're starting to see a shift. We're starting to see athletes publicly question their own team. whereas before Ocho we might get like damn I don't know what that call was I don't know why we did that in that situation but these guys as you saw Malik Nabors he put it out there like bro what the hell are you doing run the football make them burn them timeouts kick the field goal we go up by six now they need to score a touchdown in order to beat us yeah I don't understand I'm confused I was thinking it I mean I wouldn't tweet it if it was my team but can you please explain the reason on why they would do that?

34:43Shannon Sharpe:No, offer without explanation. I guess he said, look, man. He's not wrong. Ocho, we 2-9. We 2-9. We got an opportunity to beat the Detroit Lions. That's how he's looking at it. But your defense has done a great job up until that point. Mm-hmm. Very good job. I'm going to kick the field goal. Maybe if it had the one-yard line, Ocho, I would consider it. But not from the six. Nah. Not from the six. That's crazy. Now, if we're at the one-yard line, we got scat pack. Hey, I'm going to give it to scat pack. I'm going to give it to scatable. I can live with that. But in this situation like this, I get the frustration.

35:30Shannon Sharpe:Mike Kafka, the interim head coach, is like, man, look here. Hey, we're going for it. But they played as well as they could. uh-huh for as long as they could yeah they did and it wasn't enough ohcho it wasn't enough honestly the giants fought boy that was a very that was a very exciting game a game that i thought the giants were were going to continue to pull away from i thought they're going to keep pulling away but they and them goddamn lions wouldn't go nowhere man that goddamn jameer gibbs man might be the closest thing we have in today's game that's similar to chris johnson that's what i was about to say he he's out how you out running the goddamn angle how you out running the angle the angle 20 yards deep how um you're not supposed to be able to do that unless you really really you got to be tyreek fast he i'm thinking he might be up there with tyreek when it comes to speed Ocho, I think for me, I was like, when he hit through the hole, I say, boy, if somebody don't, you cannot let, he's a guy with that kind of speed, Ocho, you got to make him chop his feet.

36:47Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you got to make him stop. Ocho, you got to. First of all, he's already eight yards deep. You're going to let him hit the hole. You're going to let him get to the line of scrimmage. He's down there in a full sprint. Oh, yeah, absolutely. He's down there in a full sprint. So now by the time he get to where the linebacker is supposed to be. Yeah. It's a wrap. And the safety, the Ocho cut the safety. I don't want to overrun him and then have him cut back. So I got to try to damn. He in the end zone. It's too late. It's too late, huh? Because, listen, once some guards come off and they engage and goddamn Jameer Gia and get to that second level clean.

37:25Yes. You done as a safety if you ain't closed the gap. you have no choice you got to shoot you got to shoot because if he if he square you up or he catch an angle unless you got you you got to be just as fast as him in order to catch him

37:40Shannon Sharpe:yeah they ain't got no safety they ain't got no safety as fast as i wonder what his i wonder what his speed hit he hit 22 miles an hour you think so i think so yeah he had to especially especially on that long one he had to yeah yeah he a man he's special special nice he gotta be over a thousand yards now, isn't he? After the night, after the night, he definitely got to be over a thousand. He got to be, because he just went crazy. Didn't he go crazy last week? The week before, yeah.

38:19Shannon Sharpe:951. Damn, that's it?

38:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. we'll have it updated because we don't know if it's included today because he been doing something kind of special.

38:40Jags, Eagles, Falcons. Damn, I can't believe the Bengals lost, man.

38:47Shannon Sharpe:I can. It's the Bengals. We almost had that game, though. Oh. Jamil Gale's about to get paid Is this his third year? It is It includes today? Yeah

39:08Yeah

39:08Shannon Sharpe:But he ain't got nearly the carries that those other guys got Yeah

39:19Man That's what's happened

39:22Shannon Sharpe:and Ocho, you know what it is, Ocho. When you lose, you find ways to lose. Yeah. Teams that win, find ways to win. Win, yeah. The Giants just found another way to lose. I mean. Hey, that play calling was iffy. I'm just going to be honest. I'm going to. This is why people question. This is why people question sometimes. You heard me? Huh? With games like today or the decision making, from coaches and game. This is why they question if the games be rigged or not. Because why would you? Why would you make the decisions that you made, you know, and now you got your own player calling it out? And I think he deleted it right away because somebody – Oh, he did it.

40:08Shannon Sharpe:But, hey, Elcho, you know what happens when you press send? Yeah. You can't get it. Somebody done screenshotted it. Oh, yeah, it's too late. Yeah. Too late then. You can't press send and then put delete. You can't hit it fast enough.

40:26I'm with Malik, though. Like, what are you doing?

40:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I'm with Malik. I'm with Malik to myself or to my family. Yeah, I ain't going to say it. I can't put that out there, Ocho.

40:43Shannon Sharpe:Hell nah. But, man, Gibbs was sensational today, man. This dude, he ridiculous. He ridiculous. He up there in catches. I think this is second double-digit. How many catches he got? Because remember the other day, Ocho, he had 140-some yards receiving. Receiving. In like 70, 80 yards rushing. You know what he like? He damn near like he's a dual threat like Christian McCaffrey. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He got more speed than McCaffrey, though. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Of course. I ain't even close. Yeah, he got speed to burn. Ocho, Caleb Williams throws for three touchdowns as the Bears beat the Steelers 31-28 with Aaron Rodgers on the sideline.

41:29Shannon Sharpe:Rodgers is 25-5 against the Bears from the long tenure in Green Bay, counting the playoff. He once famously turned the crowd at Soldier Field and screamed that he still owns Chicago. But didn't get an opportunity to play today to show off that's still the case. Instead, the NFC North leading Bears, 8-3, won for the eighth time in nine games. Caleb Williams, 19-35, 239, three touchdowns. They didn't run the ball, about four yards a carry. DJ Moore had five catches, 64 yards, two touchdowns. Two TDs. Doomsday had some big catches. Loveland, four for 49 on a touchdown. Bird in the third, three for 46.

42:12Man, he looked good.

42:13Shannon Sharpe:Bears looked good. Ben Johnson got this team playing. DA got that defense getting after the quarterback. I will say this, Ocho. I will say this. Hold on, hold on. Tell me, tell me, tell me. Take your time. Caleb, you got to know when the journey's over. Oh. You can't give up seven points on your possession. Oh, the safety with T.J. Watt? No, you got sacked. You know, Watt sacked him and he lost the ball. Lost the ball, yeah. You can't do that. You can't put your team in harm's way like that. Go ahead. Go ahead and throw the ball away. I mean, he's tremendous. He can throw from the pocket. He can throw a roll and ride.

42:50Shannon Sharpe:He got great legs and get out of harm's way, but you can't do that. Yeah. Other than that, I thought you played really, really, really well today. Go ahead, Ojo. No, I was just going to say, man, Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams together has been magic. It's been pure magic. The Bears have been abysmal, you know, the past few seasons. And obviously they've always been struggling at the quarterback position, Trubisky, Brother Fields. But now, now, you know, even though there were so many people that were doubting Caleb Williams, not understanding. If you get the right coach, if you get the right coach that has the right play calling and can play to his strengths and maximize his potential at that position, this is what you get.

43:31You get a Bears team that's leading their division. Wait, they are leading the division, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, what are they? Eight, nine, and three? Eight and three. Okay. Eight and three? Eight. That might be a team, too, you don't want to see. that might be a team you don't want to see come play all the time.

43:52Shannon Sharpe:They've played extremely well. They got a quarterback that's mobile. There's a chance that they're going to have a home game. You ain't really trying to be out there and you trying to be outside? In that weather? Yeah. Absolutely not.

44:09Shannon Sharpe:That wind coming off Lake Michigan ain't nothing to play with now. That's that bone. That's that bone chilling cold.

44:19one thing about it when it is cold like that you might not be able to run the ball it's cold and windy you might never might not be able to throw the ball like you want to yeah

44:30but give Chicago credit they've uh look and I said this when they got to I remember having

44:36Shannon Sharpe:this conversation it's like oh I wouldn't take a quarterback I got Justin Fields I said they passed on a quarterback you think they're about to pass on the number one overall quarterback back-to-back years? Because they had, remember, they traded that Ocho to Carolina. So Carolina could select Bryce Young. I say, you actually think they're going to pass back-to-back years on the number one overall quarterback? You do realize the reason why they're in this position, this quarterback that he got. They're moving on. Oh, you think? I don't think I know.

45:07Shannon Sharpe:He's good. He's really, really good. And they've done a great job. They've done a great job, Ocho, of getting him talent. You look at DJ Moore, they extend DJ Moore. They get Roma Dunze. They got two tight ends with Cole Comet and Loveland. They get Burton III in the draft. They get Swift. I like what they've done.

45:32Shannon Sharpe:Offensive line, they rebuilt the offensive line, Ocho.

45:38Shannon Sharpe:They got – they're going to be good. They can be good for a minute. Now, that's not an easy division because you got the Packers in that division with a young quarterback. You got Detroit with Goff and Gibbs and Armand Ra and Jamison Williams, and they got an outstanding defense in Detroit. Yeah. I don't know. Hold on, man. Don't forget them weapons down there in Chicago, man. That's what I said. I said they're going to be good for a minute. I was talking about them. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. We got a Doomsday. You know, we Luther Burden. Yes. Come on, man. Yeah, we them boys going to mix you up.

46:13Never mind. I ain't going to say it. I ain't going to say it no more.

46:17Shannon Sharpe:But I don't know, Minnesota. Hey, Unc. I know it's early. I wouldn't give DJ a year or so, but hey. Early what? Ain't no way in hell you're supposed to let Sam Donald like that goddamn door now. Stop playing. Well, he gone now. So ain't no sense in closing the door now because the cow's already out the barn. did you were you able to watch that game today i would did watch it man please if you could if you could turn back the hands of time i guarantee they don't let i'm sure absolutely they would absolutely yeah 1 000 as a matter of fact uh justin jefferson go pick his ass up from the airport yeah you're absolutely right absolutely i know my dog jetta gotta be frustrated boy I know he's frustrated.

47:08Shannon Sharpe:From going to putting up those kind of numbers? Yeah. I mean, think about what he, Ocho, he was on a historic, I mean, he was talking about the best five-year, six-year totals in NFL history. Run easy. That's the kind of pace he was on. Yeah. And now it's come to a screeching halt because his quarterback play is inadequate. God. It is what it is. I mean, we're not, Ocho, we're not breaking, Ocho, we're not interrupting normally scheduled programming to break news. Right. If you watch the Vikings play, their quarterback, he leaves a lot to be desired. As I said, I know this is his first year starting, although he's a second-year player.

47:44Shannon Sharpe:I'm willing to give him time. I'm willing to give him some runway. But I'm saying what my eyes are telling me right now is that he leaves a lot to be desired. Let's see if he can change my perception of how good I think he can be. Chat, I'll leave that up to y 'all. maybe y 'all think he's uh you know hey listen it it's not up there it's not up to us he got to make them believers over there in that organization yeah he got to make his receivers believers too because obviously based on what i saw today the small symbol sides of the game i was able to catch but that ain't it what no that ain't gonna get it done not even not even close to being it and the funny thing when i think about it is you still have the same weapons that goddamn sam donald had last year.

48:30So it really shouldn't be that goddamn difficult, even though playing the quarterback position is difficult. But for Sam Donald to make it look like he did last year and then go to Seattle and continue making it look like that, I'm thinking well, hell, shoot, if he's what he's supposed to be, as high as he got drafted, he should be able to get it done the exact same way.

48:50Shannon Sharpe:I was concerned. Ocho, let me tell you why I was concerned about him. It's because they really didn't throw the football at Michigan. They were a running team. Yeah, they run it right down your mouth. so whoa hold on hold on run that back I need you to rephrase that and then press play yeah I need to come on just rephrase it press play run the ball damn let me see how you can say they run the ball against no I'm trying to say it the right way I don't know, but I just need you to rephrase what you did. Just rephrase that. They run... They gonna run the ball downhill. Okay, yeah. Okay, yeah. There you go, my bad.

49:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, woo.

49:50Shannon Sharpe:Emmanuel Wilson ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns as the Packers beat Minnesota by the score of 23-6. Wilson provided all the offense Green Bay needed on a day the Packers forced three turnovers, produced five sacks, including two from each from Michael Parson and Devontae Wyatt. The Vikings totaled four net yards and three turnovers in the second half. The Vikings hadn't finished the half with as few as four total yards offense since 1991 or as far back as sports radar. Sports to radar? Sport Radar Research Goals. Damn. Ocho, we were kind of having this conversation just a minute ago. Yeah.

50:29I'm willing to give him, look, he missed last year with an injury.

50:33Shannon Sharpe:Yes. So he didn't really get a whole lot of reps. This year he missed, what, five games with an injury. So that kind of studied his growth. I'm willing to give him some time. But, boy, next year this time, Ocho, he'll have to show me a lot to convince me. Yeah, absolutely. Listen, the clock is ticking, obviously. the clock is ticking you have to prove yourself because if you don't prove yourself next year around this time then they just go they're gonna move on you know how you know how this business is you know you understand how this game is they want instant gratification right away they're not they're not waiting around waiting to develop waiting to get better you have to show signs you have to show signs of improvement fast quick and in a hurry if you don't you got to be able to show some type of potential and in order to do that you got to be healthy you got to be on the field you think about Ocho he was 12 or 19 for 87 yards two picks and then they had another 93 yards on the ground so basically they had 180 yards of total offense maybe they didn't have that many when you take the sack yardage into account, they might have had 140 yards.

51:47Shannon Sharpe:My bad, 145. That's crazy. I don't know if you're going to win a whole lot of games unless you sack their quarterback 10 times, unless you take the ball away from them another five times. It's hard, or you get pick sixes, scooping scores, or return touchdowns in the special teams game. You're not winning no game with 145 yards of total offense unless you get a punt return, a kick return, you block a punt, something unforeseen. Right. But 145 yards?

52:23Damn.

52:24Shannon Sharpe:That's embarrassing. I mean, you got Addison, you got Jetta, and you got Naylor. Oh, and you got Hawkinson. You got Thielen in there too. No, yeah, Thielen. And you got Hawkinson. And you got Aaron Jones who could – there is no excuse. Hey, that's – No excuse. That's crazy. Boy, I know Jed is hot. This is what Justin Jefferson said. It gets frustrating when they keep saying the same fixes are coming each week, but nothing is different the following week. It's frustrating. It's frustrating to lose. It's frustrating to be up here saying the same thing every single week, expecting things to change the following week, and we're still in the same spot and we just got to figure it out.

53:13Yeah, I mean, he's saying all the right things. He's saying all the right things to us in front of the camera, but behind closed doors to those that he knows, those that he trusts, that conversation is completely different. Throw my whole meal in the trash. Completely different.

53:31Oh, that's – hey, can you imagine, though? I'm just thinking about it. You know how bad you have to be to have Justin Jefferson, Addison, Thielen, Hawkinson. You got Aaron Jones back there running the ball to take some of the pressure off of you. Even if you are one-dimensional, you can be able to throw the ball with them mother, excuse me, with those weapons. Come on now. The same Sam Donald that was with the New York Jets that they didn't want anymore. The same Sam Donald with the Carolina Panthers that they didn't want because But he went to Minnesota and looked like a goddamn imp. Man, come on now.

54:08Stop playing. If you really are who you say you are, based on your draft status, based on where you were picked in the draft, supposed to be the franchise quarterback, yeah. It's looking like a heavy miss. And I say that with all due respect.

54:27Shannon Sharpe:Falcons got on the winning track, Ocho. About to score 24-10 over the New Orleans Saints. Kurt First Cousins, 16-23, 199, two touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked three times. B. John Robinson had 14 carries for 70 yards. Algier had 12 for 44, 29 carries, a buck 21. Mooney had three catches, had a big touchdown over the top, 49 yards, one touchdown. Ocho, I watched this game. See, this is one game I ain't get to see. There was only so many TVs out there. Yeah. Yeah, Chad, if you're a Falcons fan, you know what I'm about to say is true. What happened? Kyle Pitts seen you dropping too many passes, Ocho.

55:07Shannon Sharpe:He just – I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I mean, he just dropping – I'm talking about routine stuff. I'm not talking about no acrobatic catches where you got to go. I'm talking about stuff hitting him dead in his hands. I'm talking about over-the-shoulder stuff. And he's too talented. He's as talented as a tight end, receiving tight end, that I've seen come out in the draft. He's supposed to be Brock Bowers. he's supposed to be McBride that's what he's supposed to be yeah

55:38he's dropping him clean huh clean clean hold on you talk about clean like contested catches no he dropping routine

55:46Shannon Sharpe:stuff hitting him in the chest ain't nobody right now no he just dropping damn

55:54Shannon Sharpe:and I just thought I just knew this was going to be the year that you know he showed everybody why he was a top five pick he went in front of chase yeah he was number four huh it's just it's

56:16Shannon Sharpe:i just i don't know what it is i don't know what it is i i just i i did i did not envision especially coming off the season that he had as a rookie where he went over a thousand yards I just knew like, okay, the sky's the limit. This is going to be – it just hadn't clicked. It just hadn't clicked. Jackson, Smith, and Jigba had another awesome day, Ocho. Eight catches, a buck 67 against the Titans. He has 1 ,313 receiving yards. He broke DK's record that he set in 2020. DK did that in 16 games. he's broken the record in 11 games Smith and Jigba is on first is on pace to become the first player with 2 ,000 receiving yards in a single season if there's a player that should get it if there's a player that the NFL and the team and the powers that be that control everything he's one of the ones you want to do it he's one of the players you want to allow to be able to break that record json is having one hell of a season though he's having one hell of a season and the fact that he's continuing exactly what he started at ohio state we saw him in the rose bowl go for what 200 280 no he went for three like 330.

57:35he went for three something and then coming to the nfl most of the time it's a hit and miss when it comes to receivers but for him to to show that not only did that do in college but hold on hold my beer i'm gonna give it to you in the nfl too every week not just one week and then you go missing for two or three weeks, but I'm talking about back to back to back. And it's a testament to not only the quarterback, but the play calling that continuously puts him in position to be able to make these plays and create mismatches so he can do exactly what he's doing.

58:08Shannon Sharpe:The Tennessee, yeah. The Seattle win, they moved to eight and three, thanks to a 30-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Sam Donald was 16-26, 244-2 touchdown. Kenneth Walker had 11 carries for 71 yards. They had 20 rushes, 114 yards, one touchdown, a sharpener. But it was Jackson Smith and Jigba. Eight catches, a buck 67, two touchdowns. They had 16 completions for 244 yards. Man, he cooking, folks. I mean, he's unbelievable. I mean, he is – wow, he's so smooth. Man, he's so smooth. Man, I've seen silk that wasn't that smooth, though, Joe. that joker man good god almighty yeah he cut he cutting up now yeah man he cutting up and it don't you know the funny thing about it is it don't matter who it is you know you think okay maybe playing against bad defenses maybe playing against bad team it don't matter everybody getting that work everybody getting that everybody so don't know about him oh man I locked not this year there might be a time down the road that you say I locked him up but not this year he owned one I want to see him get 2 ,000 once you get into a rhythm like this ain't no stopping and the play calling is going to always continue to be in your favor just so you can get that record ask somebody is he going to be the MVP if he get 2 ,000 yards no because somebody had to throw him the ball that got him 2 ,000 yards yeah that is true so Matthew Stafford right now I think Matthew Stafford has a stranglehold now I will say this if Miles Garrett was on a winning team, doing what he's doing, he would get serious, serious, serious consideration.

59:55Consideration? Yeah. Hands down. Hands down. Absolutely.

59:58Shannon Sharpe:Because I'm talking about, I mean, he might be, like I said, I think he's going to be the first defensive player, the winning defensive player of the year that's on a losing squad since Cortez Kennedy did it. Oh, shit. But... Can you see me? Yeah, I see you. I ain't got the one out like you. Hold on, I hit the wrong button on my computer, man. Oh, there you go. Damn. But Smith and Jigba is having an unbelievable season, and it's a pleasure to watch him go to work, and it doesn't matter. They see you too, Ocho. Okay.

1:00:37Shannon Sharpe:The Jags beat the Cardinals in overtime. We had a couple of overtime games today. I thought we might get another one with the Cowboys and the Eagles, but, hey, the Cowboys walk it off thanks to Brandon Albrecht's 42-yard field goal. But we did get two overtime games. We got Detroit and the Giants, and we got this one right here, the Jags and the Cardinals.

1:01:03Shannon Sharpe:Trevor Lawrence was 18 of 30, 256, three touchdowns, three picks, and a fumble. So they got four turnovers. damn the Cardinals got four turnovers and still lost oh yeah 33 of 49, 317 one touchdown Michael Ocho again, you see what he did now he get a big play he spin the ball ball hit his foot, roll to the end zone now he got to go get it now he got to come back and try to find the official you see bro come on man y 'all come on now come on bro there's a time and a place to celebrate you down why are you spinning the ball do you not understand situational football in that situation yeah spinning the football this is not the first quarter this is not the second quarter bro this is over this is over time no they don't need they excited oh my gosh He's excited to make them plays, huh?

1:02:11But you got to know. You got to be aware of your situations.

1:02:17Shannon Sharpe:You remember Pittsburgh, the guy Clayborne. What was the name? Claypool. Who was the receiver from Notre Dame? Claypool. He caught the ball in Minnesota. Chase Claypool. And started celebrating, Ocho. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Time are going down, huh? Yes. But I'm looking, I'm like I'm just, Ocho, I'm just looking at him I'm looking at him like this here

1:02:45Shannon Sharpe:Come here, you Come here See, back in the old When we played Ocho, you do some foolishness like that Come here, son, come here Get your ass over here

1:03:01Hell no

1:03:04Shannon Sharpe:Now, if he hasn't already, he'll apologize. Yeah. He'll apologize. Like, look, I just can't do that. Valuable time is off the clock. Ocho, you got the ball. Just get the ball and go back. You saved 10 seconds. Seconds, yeah. Hand it to the ref. Maybe more. You hand it to the ref. You get even more time on the clock.

1:03:31Shannon Sharpe:but the Jags win the score in overtime 27 to 20 even though uh uh Arizona takes the ball away four times they still lose the game now we're gonna get you out of here on this it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q &A damn

1:03:52I was feeling good tonight, bro.

1:04:18ruffled a new car away oh yeah yeah I did I did I ruffled off a new Lexus I think oh ruffled yeah ruffled off a new Lexus around Christmas time but I think who car was it huh I but I gave it to the girl I was dating at the time you know and then the people the people got the people got mad they got upset they sued they sued me for that too I'd never forget that after y 'all broke

1:04:45Shannon Sharpe:did you take the car back or you let her keep it no i let her keep it all right damn i don't think that's real financial responsibility there though well yeah it is because i i i got that money back no i had i had a deal i had a deal with the dealership oh you had to deal with the dealership yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so you also you do realize like when you have a rock a raffle or lottery friends family cannot win oh my bad I ain't know that oh lord have mercy I ain't know that but you know you try to do something you try to do something nice for you know for the people man you know but it's all good Dragonman56 Shadour didn't need to start the season cause he only got he only got perfect timing yep let's hope he can keep it going he got a big game oh who did he play next week

1:05:44Shannon Sharpe:Niners, he got the Niners at home. Me, CD Lamb, sucks, drop after drop, then points the finger at himself. Yeah, Ocho, there's only so many times you gonna give us that church. Oh, this the church? Hey. Hey. Yeah, like you try to excuse, like you tipping it. Bro, just because you hold that fag up, try to excuse yourself. Bro, we know it's you. You right, you right. CD better than this. Yeah, he gonna get it right. You know, you wear that double eight, man. That's special, man. That's special. Brandon Martinez start with the Cowboys and Eagles game. Hey, Eagles fans, where y 'all five-star quarterback?

1:06:29Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all were talking all that smack all week. 21-point lead to start and got smoked. how about them cowboys well I think AJ Brown got everybody's undivided attention saw your car so we need nightcap swear swear jar for Ocho go pack go wait a what a swear jar curse jar oh my bad my bad only I encourage I I I I caught myself every time tonight I ain't even letting them out no you didn't true and infamous I'm sorry but Kevin Petula needs to go. Eagles should hire Brian Daybar as OC because he was OC at Alabama. Who was their quarterback? Jalen Hurts.

1:07:18Shannon Sharpe:Carlton Falconer. Haters don't know what to do with themselves.

1:07:27Shannon Sharpe:Sam Legrand, 89. That energy for Shadour was not the same. Nah, he was quite reserved. I got no chill. Ocho, can you invite CD to your wide receiver camp next year? Can't hold his liquor or touchdown catch. Man. Oh, yeah. Killer mail. It's still clear Brown's coaches doesn't want Sanders' stats to resemble his skill. Both times in the red zone, he took the ball out of Shadour's hand. I mean, yeah, I mean, they running wildcat, bringing the quarterback. We ain't going to get into it. Yeah, but we see it. I know exactly what they're doing. I am because scrappy win for my Patriots, but a win is a win.

1:08:11Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, it is. Absolutely. This time of year, you take them however you can get them. Biggie Dan, watching y 'all helping go through hard times right now. Much love. Unc, Flock Nation, see the Bengals next year. Ocho, y 'all hot garbage. Damn. Damn. And is. Almighty James, no matter how good he plays, they don't want him starting up. Ain't got no choice. Be so good they can't take you out. Shakur, 85, five for Tula. Score 21 points in the first half, then get conservative and lose the damn game. Gave it to AJ, then he don't get it again until later. He a bum. He got to go. We ain't winning-ish with him calling the BS.

1:08:57Shannon Sharpe:Raymond Felton y 'all said trade would do nothing for them for them boys

1:09:05you say what trade

1:09:08Shannon Sharpe:I guess they say Quinny Williams and and Logan Wilson that was who they got I mean Quinny made the first stop of the night and that was pretty much it but you know what Raymond we shall C. Yes, sir. What's the Cowboys record now? Five and... Four and five, right? Five and one. Okay. Oh, they had 500? Yep. Okay. Oh, that's right. That's a nice game. Yeah. Reggie Johnson. Hurts took Carson's spot when he got hurt. He did. But was Jalen playing better than Carson when Carson got hurt? Yes, he did. He was playing better at the time than when Carson was healthy to come back in, he was playing better than Wentz when Wentz got hurt.

1:09:59Shannon Sharpe:So therefore, it's his job. Seems like they made the right decision. JJPR20, man, call it what it is. The only reason they don't want him to succeed because they're not trying to see a confident black man like Shadour to win. Go Shadour. Can't hold progress, must progress. Can't hold him back. Young Ray IRL, talk about how y 'all was wrong about the Cowboys trade. Go Cowboys. Cowboys look good. They won two games since the trade. Yeah. They won two in a row. Two and over. Now they're above 500. Now the season starts. East Coast Cavs. Shadour should have been over DG. Threw the whole coaching staff away.

1:10:44Shannon Sharpe:Five Stefanski, Andrew Barry, five of them ninjas at the hot dog stand.

1:10:53Shannon Sharpe:So in sports, Uncle Nocho, after all the talk about football players spitting on each other, what do you think the best CSU players spitting on players from Boise State? I saw that. I missed that one. Man, two players got suspended for the last game. And, oh, boy, he was walking by Ocho. Boy, I'd have slapped fire from him. Damn. I bet you. I bet you he won't ever do that again. I don't understand. Moving forward, that joke will be talking with a handkerchief over his mouth, scaring somebody. He's going to get excited and saliva. Boy, I don't know. It's kind of like an epidemic because you see it somewhere and then here you see it again.

1:11:37Shannon Sharpe:I know ain't nobody going to do that because Jalen Carter started it and then we see Chase do it and now we see, man, look here. Somebody, like Mike Thomas said, do what comes natural. yeah whatever comes like I said if somebody if somebody spits on you whatever happens to them after that it is what it is I'm okay with it

1:12:08Shannon Sharpe:young Ray girl Ocho always try to trade out players where's my super suit looking dude I'm not trying to trade nobody I just want to make sure players get their true value. You just want to be selfish and keep him there just to say you got him. Yeah. Brandon Martinez, y 'all crazy thinking Jerry going to let GP walk out to that stadium. He's a cowboy, and he's playing with his heart for this team. Let's effing go. You see how Jerry got these fans right around his finger? Like they forget about all the crazy stuff, all the crazy stuff he done done and just be so just locked in like I'm confused.

1:12:52Shannon Sharpe:Don't be. David Medrano, Ocadocco, huge fan. Why is it that Jackson Dart swag is praised but Shadour swag is looked down upon? I think you know the answer to that. The same reason some quarterbacks, it's passion and the other players, it's malcontent, it's diva. Yeah. So. Mr. Jet Life, if you don't like topics, how long or short do you talk about them? It's close the app or do something productive. You don't run the show. Shannon does. Take your insufferable asses on. Yeah, tell him, Mr. Jet Life. Because all y 'all do is complain anyway. 27 says, CD couldn't hold on to his liquor tonight. Seems like he couldn't hold on to the football either.

1:13:42Shannon Sharpe:That underscore spiral illy. CD had me cussing tonight. GP got that dog in him and does. Teacock underscore 21. Chad, call him, please, and talk to him. He had, what, a GNCO jeans on before the game? Who was that? Who are you talking about? I have no idea. Bound 51-42. Hey, Uncle Nocho, did you see GM Andrew Barry hug Shadour after the game? That told me that he is in for Shadour as the guy. we'll see next week if he's in the game Hbell OG what's up Uncle Ocho did y 'all catch what neighbors said on social media he posted then deleted we talked about it Davins Daily TV at Ocho what are you looking forward to talking about tomorrow on the K Adams show my two favorite shows thanks everything football talk about my Bengals I'm hurt you should be used to it can I get a birthday shout out for my daughter Adriana and my son King my daughter is a Cowboys fan like her dad my son is a Vikings fan we got one up on him today yes absolutely Adriana King happy birthday enjoy your day you had something fun got cake went to the park didn't.

1:15:07Shannon Sharpe:No, your dad probably had you watching the Cowboys game, which that was a celebration in and of itself. So, happy birthday to you guys. Kemper Norwood Jr. Ocho, my question, who are you picking in the soccer game next weekend, Chelsea or Arsenal? Oh my God, that's going to be a good one. That's going to be a good one. If anything right now, being that Arsenal's at the top of the league, at top of the table, I'll probably go with Arsenal. Chelsea would have to pull everything out they had to pull that one off there did you see as a today with the hat trick no stop playing no i was talking to the person oh okay yeah yeah hey matter of fact i should go to that game hey i'm trying to how long is that flight to london six hours it's probably about six hours from new york you six you three outs you four hours from new york So 10 hours.

1:16:01Shannon Sharpe:I should. I should go to. You know what? That'd be a nice little trip, man, to catch that game on Sunday, man. H underscore hunt 23. Uncle Ocho, when analysts say a team wasn't ready to play, why does that fall on the head coach? These are pros. Shouldn't they be ready to jump on? Y 'all never needed a coach to tell you to ball. True. Well, that's why you have to have leaders in the locker room to make sure you guys ready to play. Understand the task at hand. All can coach you do is give you the instructions. After that, everything on you. It's all on you. KT 93. Who win between Texas and 05, Auburn and 10?

1:16:46Shannon Sharpe:Woo, that'll be a good one. I ain't going against Cam.

1:16:53Wait, that's Vince Young, Texas, huh?

1:16:55Shannon Sharpe:Yep. I ain't going against Cam. That's a good one. A great one. Joshua Ogunocho, can y 'all wish my wife, Christal, a happy birthday? This is our 20th together, and I wouldn't want to share this day with anyone else. Absolutely. Christal, Joshua wants to wish you a happy birthday. And 20 birthdays together. He said he wouldn't want to share this day with anybody else other than you. Ooh, that's dope. That's amazing. 20 years, boy. 20 years. That's a long time. We got to catch it. Now, Adab Smith, Jackson Smith and Jigba, gets 2 ,000 yards. He's the MVP. Nobody has ever done that before. So let me ask you this.

1:17:36Shannon Sharpe:If he gets 2 ,000 yards, how many yards do you think, what you call him, is going to have? Sam Darnold.

1:17:48Shannon Sharpe:And what are we going to do with Matthew Stafford? So Matthew Stafford has 45 touchdowns and two interceptions. So we're just going to overlook that, huh? I think he'll get Offensive Player of the Year I mean but we got some major contenders for Offensive Player of the Year you look at what Jonathan Taylor is doing you look at what JSN is doing oh you gonna have some guys oh you gonna have some guys in the running for this thing yeah we have some guys but the guys that are in the running most of them have already done or what they're doing has already been done what JSN is going to do, that 2000, had never been done before.

1:18:28Therefore, I put him a little bit higher on the list because whatever Matt Stafford, whatever numbers Matt Stafford put up, they've been put up before.

1:18:36Shannon Sharpe:True. But I think it's just so hard, Ocho, because they say he plays a dependent position. They don't get a... I mean, look at the season when Moss had. Oh, the 23? Yes! Yeah. You're right. You're right. Listen, he He played a dependent position, right? But the numbers that the quarterback is going to put up, they're going to be numbers that someone else has already put up before.

1:19:07Shannon Sharpe:AAC 3214, Uncle Nocho, my dad, my dad turned the big 6-0 today, celebrated in Vegas this weekend, but those damn Raiders know how to ruin Pop's birthday. Happy birthday, Pop. Yeah, they do. I sure hope you get him tickets to go to the game. Happy birthday, Pop.

1:19:25Shannon Sharpe:RB caps bus ditto do you think Stafford should have been pulled out of the game earlier when the score was 31 to 7 nah nah run that score up man stat pad uh DS Sheppard 35 the Browns about to let Sanders walk out the door like Baker Miles is the MVP this is all this is an all time season. Tyler Booker handled Carter tonight. Y 'all trash talked about Jerry's GM skill set. Mofo got Lambo with a third pick. Somebody. Oh.

1:20:06Shannon Sharpe:We gonna see, bro. We gonna see. Look. Everything. Look. Jerry got off Micah. Micah's playing well in Green Bay. Kenny Clark's doing a great job stopping the run. They get Quinny. They pair him and Quinny. Diggy Zoo is playing really well. They're attacking of the quarterback. Fowler's playing well. Got a big hands-to-the-face call against the right tackle in the game. Got a big play call back. Jadavion Clowney's playing well. Williams playing well. The guys are playing well. Look, I think the biggest acquisition was getting George Pickens for a third-round pick this year in the 26th draft. George Pickens has been better than they'd hoped.

1:20:49Shannon Sharpe:Better. Way better. That concludes this episode of Nightcap. We want to thank each and every one of you for joining us as you watch the Rams take apart the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by the score of 34-7. Baker Mayfield injures his non-throwing shoulder.
