Nightcap Hour 2: Unc & Ocho react to Commanders beating Giants + the Dolphins TERRIBLE performance against the Colts

21:36Yeah. He's like, it's tough, man. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. But listen, we doing over-unders. You think if things continue to go like this? We already had this conversation this summer. You told me they would trade, Rick. If things continue to go like this, being that they're going younger, as you can see, letting Jalen go, they're resetting, they're rebuilding, there could be a chance. there are many many suitors that can use Tyreek many still one of the best in the game don't don't don't be fooled because things aren't going right collectively as a cohesive offense over there in

22:19Shannon Sharpe:with the Dolphins Chad y 'all remember me and Ocho had this conversation and he laughed at me and looked talked about but uh what you talking about yeah because I expected them to look completely different as opposed to what I saw today. Now, there's a chance they can bounce back. There's a chance they can bounce back after today's performance because that was – They don't look good defensively, though, Ocho. I mean, our identity was never our defense anyway. It was our offense. Ocho, okay, so offensively. You got sacked three times, you threw two picks, and you fumbled. So what's your identity now?

22:54Shannon Sharpe:You probably got bags on your face because you don't want nobody to know who you are. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. That was bad, boy. That was bad. But all you can do, all you can do, go back to the drawing table, you go in there Monday, you watch film, you take Tuesday off, go hit the cold tub, hit the hot tub, and you get back to work Wednesday. But who the Dolphins got? Because I'm sure whoever the next game is, it's a winnable game. I don't know who they got. Chad, who the Dolphins got next? Who the Dolphins got next? his QB rating was 2.7 god damn yeah that's real that's a good GPA I mean that's a C he got the pass oh okay we good we good we good you do realize Hal Landry had two and a half sacks today I don't know they might get y 'all we good Listen, the Raiders just beat the pass today.

23:57The Raiders beat the pass today. Gino was out there goddamn dealing. And if we're going to have a rebound game to get that bad taste out of our mouth against the Colts, a game that obviously you would think we should have won because Danny Dimes was dealing today. He was dealing. Jonathan Taylor was doing his thing as well. I think we beat the Patriots. We beat the Patriots. And hold on. They playing in Miami? Yes. Oh, man, we got this. We got this. We good. We good. Y 'all not good, Ocho.

24:29Shannon Sharpe:It's week one. It's week one. I don't care if y 'all play like this in week 10. Y 'all look bad. Did you look bad? Yes or no? Yeah, we look bad. I'm just being honest. But, you know, this is the NFL now. You know how one week you look bad, the next week, well, where the hell does this come from? It happens. It's possible. It is. It is. But I think the thing is that's concerning for me, Ocho, is your quarterback has to play well. He has to stay healthy. And it's like now, Ocho, anytime he get hit, the ball come out. Yeah. You know, Ocho. Hold on. He got the ball out here? You got to have that ball.

25:08You got to have two hands on that ball just in case because you can't see everything around you. Anytime you're in that pocket, you got to be here. You got to be. That clock, that time, that clock, that clock has to go off in your head and understanding people rushing.

25:25Shannon Sharpe:Daniel Jones was 22 or 29, 272 and a touchdown. Woo. Hey, that's nasty work right there. That's good work too. Yes. Good work. And that's, look, son, we don't need you to be John Elway or Peyton Manning. Yeah. Just don't turn it over. Right. That's it. Just give us a chance. Give us a chance. That's all we ask of you. Give us a chance. If you give them a chance, the defense is good. Yeah. You know, they got Frank. They got some guys over there.

26:08But oof. Damn, Dolphins. Don't worry about it. Fins up, baby. Fins up. We good. We going to be all right. We going to be all right. What did them Broncos look like today?

26:19Shannon Sharpe:They won. They barely won, but okay, go ahead. Well, we put that bang on the tights. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Barely won. Yeah.

26:35Shannon Sharpe:You concerned for your Dolphins? Hell yeah. After what I witnessed today. You just told me. Chad, this man just told me it's one game. Now he told me he exists. It's one game, but I'm trying to be optimistic. I'm trying to be optimistic. We cannot have that type of show, and there has to be some type of promise. When you watch a game, when you watch an NFL game for four quarters, you got to see something. Okay, you know what? That was something good that we can build off of. Okay, this is the area we need to work on. Unc, we need to work on every goddamn area. Everything. We need to work on all three phases of the game, all defense.

27:09Shannon Sharpe:Locking, tackling, running, throwing. Other than that, y 'all pretty good, don't y 'all?

27:16Shannon Sharpe:Hey, y 'all let Indiana Jones do a number on y 'all. Y 'all got the people calling that man Indiana Jones. Yeah. Hey, Danny Diamond. Listen, Danny Diamond. No, he ain't Danny Diamond no more, Ocho. They called him Indiana Jones. Okay, I got you. I'll take that. I'll say, what? They done gave this man a nickname after one game. Danny Manning. I said, oh, my goodness. He was out there dealing. I'm going to be honest with you. He was out there dealing. He did a number on y 'all, Ocho. and he had two, I mean, he threw for, hold on, Daniel Jones had a touchdown. He rushed for two touchdowns. The Colts scored on all seven of their offensive possessions in today's victory, becoming the first team since at least 1978 to score on every offensive possession in a game.

28:09Shannon Sharpe:That's what Indiana Jones did to y 'all. Our defense, we need, we need, that, that, that, don't make, don't make me sad. Don't make me sad because I'm betting good spirits. My Bengals won, and I'm hoping. I'm hoping. Matter of fact, I'll tell you what. If the Dolphins lose to the Patriots this next upcoming week, my allegiance to them, I can't do it no more. You'll be done? I'm done. I'm done. Listen, I've been going through this since 1984. Since 1984, when I understood that I'm from Miami, Yes. My home team is the Miami Dolphins. Right. And things ain't been right since. Okay. God damn, man.

29:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, y 'all look bad, Ocho. Y 'all look bad. I know. I have faith. I have faith in Tua, despite today's performance. I have faith in Mike McDaniel, despite today's performance. I think we're going to be all right. I got faith in Tyreek. I got faith in Jalen Waddle. I don't know. I think water might be hurt. There's some some happen to water Is it true? Is it true? They was hollering mvp and ended today? Come on. Yeah, that's a Indiana Jones getting mvp chance. That's what I heard. I don't know I wasn't there. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. I'm just saying they said mvp mvp. Don't do that Damn, man, they don't get a man.

29:41Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all don't call the man to get a nickname. Indiana Jones and that's just home field advantage let's see what happens when you play away in a hostile environment in a chaotic environment we don't have your fans on your side where it's not as easy where you can't hear what's going on you got everybody chirping at you let's see what happened then the rams beat the texans 14-9 matthew stafford passed for 245 yards and a touchdown while becoming the sixth, the 10th quarterback, excuse me, in NFL history to throw for at least 60 ,000 yards in a career. Damn.

30:21Shannon Sharpe:Puka Nakua, 10 catches, a buck 30 on 11 targets. Devontae Adams, four catches, 51 yards on eight targets.

30:33Shannon Sharpe:He was, I mean, look, Matthew Stafford, man, look. when he was in Detroit, you don't realize how good he was because they lost. And you're like, man, y 'all got Megatron. Y 'all couldn't win no more than that. Y 'all had Reggie. They had a couple of guys that could run the ball. They're like, man, y 'all got to be better than that. But he got what, he can flat out throw the football. He's a gunslinger. Boy, he can throw it. I ain't never seen nobody throw so many no-look passes. Man, that y 'all be looking over here and throw. And it'd be right on the money. Right on the money. Right on the money.

31:10I think that's one of the reasons why they didn't force me even practicing training camp. Oh, is something wrong with you? Go ahead and take that off. Go ahead and relax because we know what you can do once you're in between those hashes, once you're in between those lines. Super Bowl winning quarterback, huh? He's always been a gunslinger. He's in the same class when we talk about gunslingers as your John Elwes, your Brett Favre, your Aaron Rodgers, your Michael Vicks. I just threw Vick in there because I wanted to You did Yeah

31:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah We know you threw him in there But they did win They came back and they won a game this weekend Yeah He and Deshaun Jackson, Delaware State won their goal also Oh yeah The Bucs beat the Falcons 23-20 in dramatic fashion Only 8 months after helping Ohio State Win a national championship A Mecca two touchdowns yep he caught two touchdown passes including a game a go-ahead 25 yarder with 59 seconds remaining baker was 17 of 32 167 with three touchdowns young young way co uh i mean it's well y 'all know how it's spelled what's his name young way Youngway what? Youngway Koo What's his last name?

32:33Koo

32:33Shannon Sharpe:K-O-O Okay What happened to the other kicker? That was him, he there He just missed it this time, he went wide, he pushed it wide right Right, yeah, I thought his name I thought his name was Youngho Yeah, that's how it spelled But Man

32:55Shannon Sharpe:I just knew they were gonna come but they will tie this game.

33:02Shannon Sharpe:Penix Jr. did a great job on fourth down to die, get the first down, and man, when you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice, like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast.

He was 19 to 27, 188. One interception, three sacked.

36:48Shannon Sharpe:He was sacked three times. Nick Chubb had a Nick Chubb siding, Ocho. Hey, he was toting that rock, boy. Wait till they get Joe Mixon back. They couldn't really get Nico Collins involved. But Puka Nakua had himself a day. Kyrie Williams had 18 for 66 yards and a touchdown. Yeah, but it was a very interesting game. I mean, Baker, those three big touchdowns. Here it is right here in the game. But that's what Baker's done since he's been there. He finds a way to win the ball game. He had a couple of touchdowns, and they were pilling around and milling around and milling around, and they got the ball back.

37:34Shannon Sharpe:He takes it right down the field and get a touchdown. He's like, nah, I don't want no stinking field goal. I don't want no overtime. I'm going home. I'm calling it game. I got to get up out of here. Yeah, I'm going. They're not paying me for overtime. I got to go. First of all, I ain't going to chance it to the kicker anyway, considering how y 'all been missing lately. Yeah. They need to widen the field goal post back. No. They need to because everyone is missing kicks that would normally be good. Everybody missing kicks that normally be good. they made it that much more difficult for the kickers by narrowing the goalposts.

38:15Shannon Sharpe:What they've done, guys, have sacrificed distance for accuracy. You see how Boswell, how that 60-yarder went through? That looked like it had been good from 70, didn't it? Yeah, it did. So guys are sacrificing leg strength for accuracy. Yeah. Because look how many PATs we're starting to see miss. You know, the further out you go, the further out you go, the more difficult it is to be accurate. Yeah. Where else you go? And this is coming from an NFL kicker, you know? I wouldn't go that far. I was a backup kicker for the Bengals. You know that. Yeah, way back.

38:55Shannon Sharpe:But the Bucs, look, that division, we think it's going to be the Bucs and the Falcons. That's always nice to go ahead and go on the road. Now we play y 'all again. We're division rivals. We play y 'all again, but y 'all got to come to our place. it's always nice to go ahead and get be one up on your division rivals that division Carolina they lost today New Orleans they lost today Rattler didn't look that bad he had a throw late in the ball game we could have tied it and the guy the DB did a great job of pulling the ball out yeah

39:33Shannon Sharpe:Pennix Jr. was 27-42, 298, one touchdown he only got sacked once B. John Robinson was 6 of 400. One touchdown. Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts siding. They finally decided to give him the ball. Drake London had eight catches. Kyle Pitts had seven catches. Go ahead, Ochoa. What do you want to say? I was going to say, hey, they were dishing the Kyle, boy. Late in the game. They didn't give him the ball early. Early? Yeah, they were dishing, boy. I mean, gosh. Hey, B. John Robinson in open space? I don't want no part of that. Oh, that turf? He's making everybody look stupid. I'm not saying he's Barry Sanders.

40:19No, nobody's Barry. Yeah, nobody is. But the only person I've seen that make those kind of moves like that in open space or in tight quarters was maybe LaShawn McCoy.

40:30Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Shady McCoy. Yeah. That's what we remind you of. Yeah. That's it.

40:37Shannon Sharpe:You're right. Yes, he's nice.

40:46Shannon Sharpe:You're not going to have very many opportunities like that. Pennington was dealing today. He got an opportunity to start. He looked good. He looked good. Threw the ball with some confidence. You have to do a better job of running the football. 28 for 69 yards won't get it done, Ochoa. That's putting too much pressure on your offensive line. That's putting too much pressure on your quarterback. You need to run the ball better. You've got to run the ball better than that. You've got to run it better than that. That's asking an awful lot of your second-year quarterback in your offensive line when you only get 69 yards rushing.

41:19Shannon Sharpe:Now, look, I understand that Tampa, when they got Bita Vail in there, that's not an easy assignment to try to move his big ass out the way. But you've got to do something, Ocho. That's not nearly good enough. Not nearly good enough. Yeah. The Broncos spoiled Cam Ward's debut by the score of 20-12 and a win over the Titans. Bo Nix had an off day. Throwing a pair of interceptions. I think he fumbled. His first fumble loss since he was at Auburn. He was at Auburn a long-ass time, though. But anyway, Nix defense had his back. Half a dozen sacks. They did a tremendous job. Defense looked good. that didn't even look good we got after two we were swarming yeah hey hey for for for the titans we got to have some drops in there too though i was really had a big drop late i was just getting ready to tell you they got to help they got to help uno out yeah you got to catch the ball for your quarterback you got to catch the ball for your quarterback they give yourself a chance to win that game be in the game those opportunities that they come they come they come very slim when you're playing a defense as good as the Broncos, you have to capitalize on every single play.

42:39Yep. Because you ain't getting that many.

42:45Shannon Sharpe:Cam Ward was 12 for 28, 112 yards, got sacked six times, lost 50 yards. They only had – there were 21 rushes for 71 yards. But like I said, Ridley had a drop. They had a couple of drives that dropped the ball in there. and you got to make those plays. Like you said, Ocho, that's a rookie in that situation. You got to help him out. Got to. He didn't get a whole lot of help today. He did not get a whole lot of help today. Bo Nix, for a second, I thought he had a Titans, you know, T-shirt up under that Bronco jersey because, damn, he was trying to help them guys win. The play threw some horrible interceptions, 25 of 40, 176, a touchdown, two interceptions, and a costly fumble.

43:27Shannon Sharpe:It was only sacked once. Broncos ran the ball well, 30 carries for a buck 51. J.K. Dobbins had a 19-yard touchdown. Harvey, the first-round draft pick, had a 50-yard run. And Courtney Sutton, who signed a big contract just offseason, had a great touchdown catch. But that won't get it done. Denver has to be better than what they showed today. Now, the Titans defensively, they kind of got bailed out because Simmons shoved a guy and they called unnecessary roughness and they had the ball. They allowed the Broncos to keep the ball for a little longer than what they probably should have had it. But you got to be better than that.

44:11Shannon Sharpe:But Cam Ward did not get a lot of help from his receivers today, Ocho. It would have been very interesting to see. Because really, he doesn't normally drop that. No. And he had a couple of drops. A couple in crucial situations. And we know what type of receiver Calvin really is. We've talked about it ad nauseum here the last couple of days. But that won't get it done. That won't get it done. You got the hat-o's, baby. Yeah. And then, you know, he didn't – Calvin didn't turn it over, but he fumbled. He got – they brought a safety, brought a cap blitz on him. And got the ball out of there. Yeah, got the ball out there late in the game.

44:52Shannon Sharpe:that ended up ending it for them. Broncos win by the score of 20-20, go to 1-0 in the division. And guess what? What? For the first time in ain't no telling how long, at least a decade, the Chiefs are at the bottom of the division. Third stringer, Jake Tongitz, had a late touchdown catch to give the 49ers a 17-13 win over the Seahawks. He entered the game having never caught an NFL pass. He finished with three receptions and released a relief of injured George Kittle. Kittle got injured. I didn't count as he was. Hamstring, huh? Oh, that's what it was? Okay. Soft tissue, hamstring.

45:39Shannon Sharpe:And, hey, Purdy put it up, and the guy came down and made a great play for him. And sometimes, don't you, you got to have guys making plays for you. Everything's not going to always be perfect.

45:55Shannon Sharpe:But boy, ooh, pretty didn't look good today. Nah. Sometimes I think you try to go out there, you try to, you know, you try to, I mean, those interceptions. He was 26 of 35, 277, two touchdowns, two interceptions. He was only sacked once. Sam Darnold was 16 of 23, 150 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions. Jackson Smith and Jigba 9 for a buck 24 but oh he had a turnover he fumbled at the end of the game and then what you call him got it Bosa it probably credited Bosa with a sack oh yeah it did probably credited Bosa with a sack yep Fred Warner was Fred Warner Rick and Chris had a nice game won't you Rick did I think Juwan Jennings got hurt, didn't he?

46:51Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. I see two catches. I was watching that game, and I was all trying to focus on that game, trying to focus on this game over here.

47:03Shannon Sharpe:But Pearsall, look. He had a good game. Today was his coming out game. He showed flashes last year, and I think this is one of the reasons why they were ready, because they knew in order for him to really sprout and spread his wings, they had to get rid of Debo. They had to let Debo go. Those opportunities that Debo would get, now you got to give him the uno. He got him. Yeah, he's getting them. McCaffrey had nine catches on ten targets, had a big, I think, fourth down catch to keep a drive alive that ended up turning into, I think, the touchdown catch. 49ers need to get a kicker. That's what they need.

47:45hey your boy right here

47:49Shannon Sharpe:uh that's that's what that's really what they uh tonjes so that's how you say his name t-o-n-g-e-s tonjes listen and based on the kickings we saw today in week one there are a few teams that could use a kicker because a few games were lost based on someone's foot uh Ocho the Jags beat the Panthers 26 to 10 Trevor Lawrence threw a touchdown pass Trevor ATN ran for a buck 43 and Brian Thomas Jr. also ran for a score Travis Hunter played 39 offensive snaps called six passes for 33 yards he played just six snaps on defense yeah you watching I tried to watch it over a bit it was up. I had it up. I had it up.

48:38I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I think it was a good balance for Travis Hunter. Obviously not playing very many defensive snaps, but obviously they said he would play more offensively. He looked good. He looked decent. Trevor Lawrence looked like a number one pick today. He looked like a number one pick today. Yeah, he did. Travis Antion looked really good as well.

49:01Shannon Sharpe:Really good. He looked faster, a little bit more explosive. I don't know what it is. I don't know. He looked fast, a little bit more explosive. Bigsby, Tank Bigsby, played really well last year. He was trying to take money out your pockets. Oh, okay. I see where you're going with it. I got you. I got you.

49:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Bryce Young, 18-35, 154 touchdown, two picks. Trevor Lawrence was 19-31, 178, one touchdown, down one pick. But like you said, they ran the ball 32 times for 200 yards. You know, Trav got in and he did catch six passes, Ocho. Not much on the defensive side. I think he had a half a tackle. But look, we'll check back in once the season, once as we get further and further along in the season. And we'll see, probably see it tick up more, maybe 15 plays next week on defense. But I think it's going to be some time before they say, okay, you're not coming off the field.

50:13Shannon Sharpe:Cardinals beat the Saints by the score of 20-13. Kyle Murray, 163 yards, hitting Marvin Harrison Jr. five times for 71 yards on the touchdown. He also ran 38 yards and another score and a five-yard shovel pass to James Connor. You know what, Ocho? Like I said, Spencer Rattler, I thought late in the ball game he had a chance to tie this ball game up and give Cardinals credit that ended up pulling the ball out.

50:42Shannon Sharpe:But I will say this. Quarterback. On fourth down, last play of the game, even if you throw an interception, so what? If you throw the ball out of bounds, it's going to be incomplete. Give your guy a chance. Give him a chance. Damn. That's all we could ask for. Got a chance. Spencer Rattler was 27-46, 2-14. He was only sacked once. No touchdown, no exception. He didn't look too bad. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. No. He got a nice arm now. Yeah. A nice arm. Are we – and I'm being optimistic. You do understand who they were playing, right? They're playing the Cardinals. Okay Okay Or you think the Cardinals gonna be bad this year?

51:37No, I don't think they're gonna be bad But they're not a team That you can really, really heavily judge A quarterback on Because when it comes to playing better competition Especially better competition defensively Then can you still Be consistent And make the right decisions with the ball Right

51:56Shannon Sharpe:I mean, New Orleans did a great job They got out to Calum Murray. They sacked him five times, Ocho. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, watching them games today, man. Got the adrenaline going. I was excited. I was hyped. Watching, you know, Star Spangled Banner being sung. Like, I don't know why. I feel like I can go out there and play. Like, I don't know. Huh? You can't. You don't think so? No. Damn. I don't know. I just think if I was giving off. He left the game with some injuries. Keep it that way. Damn.

52:40Shannon Sharpe:The Raiders beat the Patriots by the score of 20 to 13. Geno Smith passed for 362 yards and a touchdown in his Raiders debut. Brock Bowers had five catches for 103 yards before leaving the game with a knee injury. Jacoby Myers added eight catches for 97 yards. Gino just needed to get out of New York Yeah Gino been playing well since he left New York Yeah He was willing to deal in Seattle too I'm not sure why they let him go But he gonna wheel and deal out there in Las Vegas Yeah That's one thing he can do is he can throw that ball He can spin it He can spin it And now you got some very very good targets That you get to throw the ball to Expressy Brock Bowers who's probably going to be the best tight end in the game and he'll probably solidify that spot after this season?

53:32Probably so. They're going to be all right. They're going to be all right.

53:37Shannon Sharpe:I mean, they needed Gino. Gino was 24-34, 362, one touchdown, one interception. They got sacked, but hey, he still was dealing because they didn't really have no resemblance of a run game. 24 rush attempts, 56 yards. Ashton Jenner averaged two yards a carry. but Brock Bowles like you said Ashton Gentry and excuse me Brock Bowles and Jacoby Myers between the two of them had 13 catches for 200 yards and the funny thing about it is the fact that Geno Smith was still willing and dealing with no run presence at all with no run presence Ashton Gentry he's going to get off you're going to have games like this you're going to have games like this it's different it's ain't Boise State everybody just as strong everybody just as fast and all that being able to bounce bounce to the outside there ain't gonna be none of that ain't gonna be done that you got to find that crease and you got to hit it you got to hit it and go yeah because uh everybody Penn State everybody everybody all right guys we're gonna get you out here on this one it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q and A wait wait wait wait wait wait uh What?

54:50You're not going to tell him the surprise for tomorrow? Oh, that's later. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

54:58Shannon Sharpe:Time for Q &A. Chris Ball is saying, as a lifelong Patriots fan, I must say I'm not pleased with what I've been seeing from my team, especially offensively. 13 points? Really? Clearly something needs to happen. This is not the standard. I mean. It's your new standard. Shoot, the bank, we only scored 17. where we scored 16 don't score 17 we averaged 33 last year we averaged 33 you know so I mean sometimes you play teams and they got your number some teams are going to be like this and it's week one it's week one too people we got calmer calmer calm down I think the Patriots are going to be alright Drake May he going to be alright Mark said it's funny that Shannon thinks he can critique quarterbacks.

55:51Shannon Sharpe:I can. Yeah. I play the game. I study the game. Yeah, I can. I can critique quarterbacks. Yeah. Yeah, we can. I can, too, because I play quarterback. Yeah, why can't I? Yeah. You should have saw me in high school, boy.

56:13Shannon Sharpe:Dagnante Cobb is the best opening game I've seen in my life, and I'm 43 years old. What say you, Unk, Ocho? I guess he's talking about tonight, Baltimore-Buffalo. Hey, that was good. It was. That game was good. That game was good. Was it 94? Was it 94? The Patriots and the Dolphins had a game like this. I think Bledsoe threw for like 470-something and Marino had like 380, 400. Go back and check that game opening. I think it's 94.

56:55Shannon Sharpe:That might have been a game where Blesso had like 70 pass attempts.

57:12Shannon Sharpe:Was that opening day? 94? the Dolphins and the Patriots.

57:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. This was a very good game. I mean, you got scoring. I mean, you got both quarterbacks playing extremely well. Both offenses playing well. You just had the one turnover. And when you turned the ball over, basically ended up costing the Ravens. You hate to say it cost them the game, but it gave it gave buffalo some momentum that they didn't have it gave them some juice it gave them some life they were on life support yeah and that fumble gave them gave them life you know what else game you already passed one yeah you remember remember that game remember that was opening day though that was yeah yeah Remember that game in 2018, that Chiefs-Rams game?

58:11Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. Well, that thing was nice. Yeah. That was another one. Yeah, that 94 game, the Dolphins and the Patriots, Danny threw for 473, Bledsoe threw for 421. Damn. That was Ben Coates coming out party. That was a bar and burner. Yeah. But this game, you know, I was playing. I just remember going home and seeing the highlights of it. But this game here, yeah, I mean, I'm trying to think of another game that opening night.

58:52Shannon Sharpe:Off the top of my head, I can't think. Off the top of my head. But this game tonight, Buffalo and Baltimore was great. Adam Smith, it makes no sense how Ravens can't close our games. How the hell do they keep making mistakes, allowing teams to come back? You just said it, making mistakes. Yeah. You ended the season off making mistakes, and you started the season off making mistakes. And the same mistakes from last year that cost you, hell, it cost you again this time.

59:23Shannon Sharpe:Ravens O 'Line is horrific. They got exposed again. Isn't the Eagles and Bills O 'Line not good? I don't think – what do you mean? You think the Ravens O-line got exposed? Who was that right guard, huh? That kept getting pushed in the backfield? That right guard. I don't know who that is, but he is the weak. That's the fish. Yeah. I mean, no disrespect, but he is the fish.

59:51Shannon Sharpe:Oh, let's see. Oh, Fa-Fa-Le-Le. But he's been there. He's been a starter. He's been there a while. I don't think it's 5 '5". I don't think it's him. Maybe it's the... He's the right guard. Maybe left guard. Dude, whoever it is is tall as hell. And Ed Oliver kept getting right up underneath him. Well, Ed Oliver likes 6 '1". So it ain't going to take much if you talk about... So he probably likes 6 '3", 6 '4". And Ed Oliver probably likes 6 '6". Right. Okay. But he's powerful. I mean, you look at Lamar 14 to 19, 209, two touchdowns. You look at the offense running the football, 29 rush attempts, 238 yards.

1:00:37God damn.

1:00:40Shannon Sharpe:That offensive line, I mean, they only gave up two sacks.

1:00:46Shannon Sharpe:No, they got to, their defense got to do a better job. They gave up 500 yards of total offense to Josh Allen. They got to do a better job. Eric Lilly said the Ravens kicker missed the extra point after Henry scored. They did. He did. He came back to bottom. Because now if Baltimore kicks the field goal, it goes to overtime. Now, Buffalo probably takes a different approach. You know, they killed a clock, and now they're going for the end zone. Yeah, they got to work out. Shine, the Ravens played to contain Josh, not to sack him. Ravens felt their corners are better than the Bills receivers. How'd that work out for them?

1:01:31Hmm.

1:01:34Shannon Sharpe:King Payne said, go take Alexander back where we got him from. Shouldn't have depended on the offense to get up and stay up to shut a game out. This defense needs to step up. I'm talking more than Kyle Hamilton. Hey, Unc, you put up 40 points in any football game, at any level, you're supposed to win the game. at any level. High school, peewee, college, especially the NFL. 40? Well, Mike would tell us, look, if we lose 41-40, offense, y 'all ain't do enough. If we lose 10-13, defense, you didn't do enough. But that turnover, when you turn the ball over, is of the utmost importance. If Henry fumbles this ball in the first half, We're having a different conversation.

1:02:28Shannon Sharpe:He's good. He's good. We're having a different conversation. But I just think you got to give Buffalo credit for not down – I mean, they were down 40 to 25 with less than five minutes to go. You need two scores and one of them needs – and you need a two-point conversion after it.

1:02:52So, that's what happened.

1:02:53Shannon Sharpe:but Trey Tyner said, Uncle Nocho Ravens got to do something about 70 on the O-line. Ed Oliver ran through him all night, caused the pressures on D. Henry Fumble. That's him right there. Who's number 70? Who's number 70?

1:03:16Shannon Sharpe:Lele, isn't it?

1:03:28Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Rosen guarding. That's the one. That's the name. Huh? No, he's the right tackle. Rosen garden is the right tackle. Right tackle. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's the right tackle, but he was, he did good. Remember he ended up, he ended up getting miles Garrett Jersey last year after the job that he did on miles Garrett.

1:03:51Shannon Sharpe:just had a bad night Kyle Simpson said, help me understand how the Ravens defense is bad when they go against Lamar every day in practice I know it's not every period but keep your head up King Henry no actually they don't they probably only go against the Ravens offense in two minutes because that's really the only time that you see the Ravens offense, we went ones against ones in the two minutes situation that's the only time we yeah In practice. Yep. We wanted our best against the best. Captain Simpson said, Bible says a man who doesn't work doesn't eat. Ravens defense didn't work today. Cue Jimmy Johnson.

1:04:28Shannon Sharpe:No food on the plane. Behavior Patel said, why Ocho's face looked like Whopper's candy? Pay on. Yeah, Ocho, pay me. He said, my face looked like what? Yeah. They said last, they said, what was that, Saturday? Yeah. They said your name was Dud. Milk dud. Oh, man, listen. Y 'all talking... Listen,

1:04:53people got to remember. I was 2005... From 2005 to 2009, I was really one of the sexiest men alive. And it's in the world. Not just here in the States. It's in the world.

1:05:08Shannon Sharpe:I mean, if there's a man alive, I'm assuming that you're talking about everywhere, but okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah, this was in DQ. You know, women rated me, you know, top five sexiest men alive. That what it is? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm sure, you know. Steven Bass says, Uncle Ocho, love y 'all big fans. What's different about playing on Sunday night football versus Monday night games? Can you give another childhood story about you having told? Ocho, what's the difference? You play on Sunday night, play on Monday night? you know what i i don't really think it's no difference i don't i don't think there's no difference i don't think i know i know monday night there wasn't there wasn't always sunday night games yeah i mean since the 70s they've been monday night monday night you have everybody's attention everybody else in the nfl because you know sometimes on sunday night on show teams are flying yeah yeah so now monday night everybody watching front front center front center Everybody.

1:06:13Shannon Sharpe:Front and center. And look, you got stage, center stage all to yourself on both nights, but a lot of teams are traveling and things might happen. They're getting dressed, trying to get up out of there, trying to get back to a location. And so they might miss something. But on Monday night, ain't nobody traveling nowhere. Everybody's already home. A lot of teams, some guys might be going to the, hey, man, oh, we over at Ocho House tonight, man. All right, cool. Everybody watching. So you got everybody's undivided attention. But it's always great.

1:06:55Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to think. No, ESPN didn't always have – actually, games used to come on TNT on Sunday nights. TNT? Wait, TNT? TNT used to have Sunday night football. uh what was that uh in the 90s oh okay oh i'm finna say yeah yeah i have tnt back then i had fire stick

1:07:21Shannon Sharpe:yeah we had a tnt uh i think i'm trying to think when did uh yeah i'm not sure because i remember we played 95 i think 95

1:07:39Shannon Sharpe:they might have been two games. I mean, ESPN and TNT might have had, had, uh, cause we played Buffalo in 95 on TNT, but I was not yet.

1:07:54Man,

1:07:54Shannon Sharpe:I forget, man, that's so long ago. That's 30 years ago. Yeah. I'm trying to think, but yeah, we used to play, uh, TNT hat. Yeah. Can you chase me if I, if I, If I'm not mistaken, I think our Sunday night game, opening night, 1995, was on TNT. I'm almost certain of it, Ocho. I'm almost certain of it. You know, it was on TNT because on my fire stick, I used to get the NFL games and I used to get wrestling. This is in the 90s now. Yeah. I wouldn't pay him. It was TNT. Can you all find out when ESPN got Sunday night football?

1:08:35Shannon Sharpe:but look I think if look if you want everybody a lot of people is going to be watching you know because like during the day a lot of people go to church yeah so you know sometimes people don't get an opportunity to come back to watch they watch the late game sometimes you know people in church now especially in the black church oh yeah you definitely gonna miss that one o 'clock game yeah oh listen are you missing that you get at halftime yeah you go back no I go I go to 10 o 'clock service you still won't get home until after halftime yeah yeah yeah you're gonna miss that one be up there all day the goddamn benediction gotta wait on the sermon he gotta get a word then you got tithes and offerings they got about four tithes and offerings they were both they were

1:09:24NBC

1:09:28damn

1:09:28Shannon Sharpe:Damn. So they had, so they had, uh, what at the same time? Damn. ESPN and what you call them with TNT, it was airing games at the same time. NFL said, man, we losing money. See, why would, why would we do that, Ocho? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, it's hard. It's hard to compete with the wrestling back then, but you see TNT.

1:09:54Shannon Sharpe:So, oh, wow. So it was split broadcast. okay so it's okay so that's what it was tnt had like the first eight games and then espn had the second eight games michael said uncle don't you continue to love this show after working watching josh allen tonight how long does it take jed york to realize they overpaid purdy allen lamar is what 50 million plus quarterback look like it's all about the market it's all about the market now Not only that, it's marketing timing, huh? Yep. There are no other options. There are no other options. You're not finding another Josh Allen no time soon. Nope. So the best available quarterback for the 49ers at that time was Brock Purdy.

1:10:41So you had no choice but to pay him because where else are you going to get one from?

1:10:44Shannon Sharpe:Lord have mercy. We had an opportunity to draft Josh Allen. The Broncos had an opportunity to draft Josh Allen. Right. And they didn't.

1:10:57Shannon Sharpe:They took Bradley Chubb at five. Buffalo took Josh Allen at seven. Hmm.

1:11:05Wait, who was the quarterback at that time though?

1:11:08Shannon Sharpe:I don't give a damn who the quarterback was. We needed a quarterback. Trevor Simeon. Who was it Trevor Simeon? Oh, OK. Allen had to be probably Trevor Simeon. OK. Manning had retired. Hmm.

1:11:29Shannon Sharpe:MSQ, how about the ending of the Niner Seahawks? Jake, first catch, first touchdown game, strip sack by Nick Bosa. Moody got to go. True. If Derek Henry is the running back with the ball and Cam Chancellor's safety coming downhill and they meet, who wins that matchup? I'm going with Cam on that one. Listen, Cam has the size and the weight distribution. to be able to win that. Yes. Yes. I take Cam. Cam had no regard for his body or yours. At all. He blew up everything. Tyron said, what's up, Uncle Ocho? What in the world, Miami Doc? What are we going to do with my guy going on? They made Daniel Jones look like Peyton Manning, and Tua was good and terrible.

1:12:16Shannon Sharpe:He was absolutely awful. Absolutely awful. Damn, man. we're going to be all right, though. I'm optimistic. If we lose against the Patriots, man, I'm done. Yeah, you might be done. Ocho, Bria Carter said, should the Dolphins cut or trade Tua, I don't think he's the answer. Well, they ain't cutting nobody in the second year of a$250 million deal. That's not happening. That's not happening. I do see the direction in which the Dolphins are going. They're in the rebuilding phase. they're going young getting rid of most of the the older players a la jaylen ramsey next will probably be my young bull that wears number 10 if things don't turn around

1:13:10Shannon Sharpe:rico pen reek to the steelers roman uh roman wilson and a third round maybe a fourth who to the Steelers Reek Tyreek oh it don't matter where he go if you put him anywhere with a quarterback man you already know what that mean where you gonna put him that you know who wants to pay if you got if somebody got a quarterback what did they already have Ocho a 30 million dollar receiver yeah yeah

1:13:47Shannon Sharpe:It just goes to show you, Ocho, sometimes the grass ain't always greener, is it? It ain't, but he was able to make it greener. He sees the same one with that same quarterback that has 17, back-to-back, 1 ,700-yard season. Let me ask you a question. When he's in Kansas City, how many times you see him doing this? When he's in Kansas City, how many times you see him not go back into the game?

1:14:12Shannon Sharpe:uh bravin patel said ocho how about your bingles almost getting cooked by the browns sorry as bingles i see i think people people they people hear the browns um they hear the browns and they just think of a trash but they don't understand how good their defense is like i continue to preach it like i'm a bangle at heart you know that if i'm telling you how good they are they're one of the few teams where the personnel is good at all three levels. Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome are extremely good. Man, man. The front floor, Miles Garrett, very good. That's it. I mean, the way y 'all feel about the Browns, that's how I used to feel about the Bengals.

1:14:58Shannon Sharpe:I was sure y 'all were terrible in the 90s. I ain't even like, I ain't even old you. It was bad. You ain't got to tell me. I know. I heard, listen, I done heard the stories. Boy, y 'all were good. Boy, y 'all weren't even good and terrible. Y 'all were bad and terrible. That was Jeff Blake. Jeff Blake was the quarterback then, huh? Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Man, y 'all had, well, I got, I played against Blake. I played against Akili Smith. We played against Boomer was the quarterback. First year we played y 'all in 93. Boomer was the quarterback. Right. Man, I don't know who y 'all quarterback was in 90s.

1:15:30Shannon Sharpe:Ooh, was it Jeff Blake?

1:15:35Shannon Sharpe:oh yeah it might have been 90s we played y 'all in 97 and 98 96 and 98 we played i played against uh keely smith when i was in baltimore yeah i was one year i was there with keely my rookie year yeah if Keeley was there yeah Robert Dredd said please see it as this donation goes towards the Bengals O-line foundation I saw the commercial and it looks like they're in dire need for any assistance Aaron Jones remember when Eagle fans chanted to run the ball we need to do that again at least establish it that will get a wide receiver open and we need a cornerback Aaron Jones Who is your team? The Packers?

1:16:26Shannon Sharpe:Eagles. BK said your Broncos tried to give the Titans the game, but we didn't want it. True? Money-making G, our Uncle Ocho. Ocho crossed the line today. He out there betting. Give him money. He owe you away. I'm down to Chauncey, Georgia, but I can pull up on him if you need me to. Just say the word. Pay on, Ocho. Hey, well, listen. Come on. Go ahead and pull up.

1:17:53Shannon Sharpe:But tonight belonged to the Buffalo Bills, mainly Josh Allen, 33 of 46, 394, two touchdowns passing. He had another two touchdowns rushing. So Josh Allen was sensational. Keon Colbin caught a deflected touchdown on fourth down and had a big catch to get them in field goal range. He finished with eight catches for a buck 12 and a touchdown as they come back from 15 down with under five minutes and beat the Baltimore Ravens 41-40.
