• Defense Still a Major Issue (11:00)

  • Offense puts up big numbers, but defense is bottom-tier—can’t win consistently this way.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, take your time when you talk about it now.

[Chad Johnson]

45, 21, Chase Brown stats. He had 66 yards rushing, a touchdown, and he had 43 yards receiving. He had three total touchdowns on today. Joe was dealing today. Chase had a day. Chase had a day. T got off to a hot start. But, I mean, I. I kind of empathize with Joe because I kind of know what he's feeling. He's like, look, right, Ocho, 30, 25 or 32, 309, four touchdowns, no picks. Yeah, absolutely no picks. 105 yards rushing. We had 313 yards passing. And guess what? We 5 and 10. Yeah. Hey, the best we can hope. Oo the best we could hope for is 7 and 10.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

With all that, you right.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

But hey, sometimes. Sometimes you're gonna have seasons like this, huh? Sometimes. Sometimes, you know, you look around and what you got offensively, and you look at what it should be on paper. You look at what we did offensively last year, but you understand, listen, we didn't get what we wanted. We put the work in. In the off season, training camp, preseason, and it just didn't pan out the way we thought it would. You know what you do? You get your ass back to the drawing board and you get right back to work. You take some time off, get your mental reset. You play these last two games, get away from the game, and you come back ready to do it again. You don't complain. You don't fuss. You know, you don't. You don't. You don't try to jump ship because you know it ain't sailing the way you want it to sail. And you get back to work. That's what you do. You be a professional. As you would say that. That's it. That's all to it. That's all to it. But them goddamn bangles look good today. Boy, I'm mad they be I mad. I'm mad they beat my Dolphins. But it sure it show. Look, it's like, you know, when. When your current girlfriend. Your current girlfriend catch your ex, you know, they get into it.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

That's what that was today. That's what that was day. And then the ex. The external with the opponent, you know, the extent the, the. The accident whooped upon on your new girl. That's all it was.

[Chad Johnson]

Quinn Ewes was 20 or 32. 60. No touchdowns, two picks. Devon A. Chan ran the ball 15 times for 81 yards in the touchdown. James, he was toting it. Yeah, he. Over a thousand yards, I'm sure. As a matter of fact, I think James Cook might be in the lead. He might have the, the rushing league. Now.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Wait, he. Where he passed Jonathan Taylor.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, he got to be over 1500 yards now. James Cook, 1532. So he's almost 100 yards clear. Jonathan Taylor. Taylor. Any play? Oh, they play the, The Niners, right? Colts play the Niners tomorrow. Man. Ocho, what's wrong? They gonna blow this whole thing up in Miami.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

They worry about blowing it up. They better figure out what they gonna do at the quarterback position. Huh?

[Chad Johnson]

They blowing it up. He gone.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. Yeah, They, I mean, they could, they could blow it up, but what's the answer? Where are we going? Where. Where are we going? How are we going to go? How are we going to compete in the AFC East?

[Chad Johnson]

It just goes to show you, when owners step in, when you hire somebody to do a job, let them do the job.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Let them do it.

[Chad Johnson]

Let him. Ryan Flores and that. And they would have taken Justin Herbert.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

They would have been dealing. Boy, they would have been dealing.

[Chad Johnson]

They've been dealing. Now, now you set the franchise back. Because guess what, Ocho, you got to go back into the market and try to find another quarterback. Hey, and you got a lot of issues. You got a lot, a lot of issues defensively. You got to get some coin. You got to get a cornerback. You need some. You know, I like Brooks. Brooks had another phenomenal day.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

He.

[Chad Johnson]

I think he's leading the league in tackles. He had another 14 tackle day today, but you need some corners. You need probably offensive line. Hey, Darren Waller come back. If he got life, I think there's more than 90 chance that he's going to be looking to come back. He's played well. He made some plays.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Chad Johnson]

And now he get a whole year, you know, probably a whole full off season to train and like get his mind mentally prepared to come back and play football.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right?

[Chad Johnson]

I. I think he can, I think he can help the Dolphins listen or help someone.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, let's see. I'm assuming, I'm assuming he'd want to be back here in Miami, but Miami need to go. Go to where?

[Chad Johnson]

Denver?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, no. Anybody trying to go way up there in the cold weather, you Want to be right here in Miami, man.

[Chad Johnson]

You played in the cold weather.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, because I. I enjoy the cold. I have an appreciation for the cold.

[Chad Johnson]

You don't enjoy that much. You live in Miami.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I mean, because where I was born.

[Chad Johnson]

You got nothing to do with it.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Would you want me to move?

[Chad Johnson]

If you love the cold. If you love the cold so much, there are plenty. There's. There's a lot of places right now where it's cold. You like the warmth, right?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I know it's. That's not what it is.

[Chad Johnson]

Because guess what? Tennessee is a no state tax. So you want to. If you want to say a no state tax, you can go to Tennessee.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

But, hey, I have kids. They're here in Miami.

[Chad Johnson]

That's okay.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, it's not. It's not okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Let me ask you a question.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

When the kid. When you was playing football, where were the kids?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

With me in Cincinnati.

[Chad Johnson]

No, they weren't.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, they were.

[Chad Johnson]

No, they weren't.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Where do you thought they was at?

[Chad Johnson]

They was in Miami.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Now, they were with me.

[Chad Johnson]

So all your kids was in school with you in Cincinnati?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, I homeschooled.

[Chad Johnson]

This man for one time. Just tell the truth, Ocho. The kids was in Miami.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

It's me, my kids right here. They'll tell you.

[Chad Johnson]

They here right now.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, no, no.

[Chad Johnson]

When I came to interview, you were with the kids. So how the kids staying with you when you was in. When you was staying at the bingo facility?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Well, they weren't me the first two years. I'm talking about. After that, it was with me.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay. When I came to interview you, where were they? I didn't see them.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, they were downstairs. You ain't here.

[Chad Johnson]

I was downstairs.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, they were downstairs making all that noise.

[Chad Johnson]

I ain't want no noise there. You do realize I came to interview you, right?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. That was you. That was you.

[Chad Johnson]

This man here. Hey, no, you got used to liking the cold because you say, you know what?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, no, no. I always like the cold. I always like the cold.

[Chad Johnson]

I haven't how you like the cold when you never played in the cold.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

But you wait. Hey, you don't. You don't know why. I used to be at. You know what I used to do? I used to be making some runs out there in the cold.

[Chad Johnson]

Now, look, the only time you played in some damn cold, you played one year in Oregon, and you probably had two games cold.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

It was cold up there, too. It's not really that cold like snow, but it get about maybe 40, 50.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, it don't get cold like Cincinnati? Nah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, hell no. Hey, that Ravens game, boy, with 10 degrees, I was so happy. I love that boy.

[Chad Johnson]

I think this is what got Joe frustrated, because he. See what they do offensively.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson]

See the 45 points.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, but see, he can't worry about that. Huh? He can't worry about that. You can't worry about what's going on with the defense. You. You can't. You got to just be able to do your job, because if you start looking at everybody else and what's not going right in the other areas of the team, you just got to focus on. You got to focus on Joe.

[Chad Johnson]

I think the thing is the Ocho, he said, but what about the times Ocho. When I scored 44 and we lost 45? 44. Yeah, you tell me. Don't worry about the defense. When I scored 38, we lose 41. 38. When I scored 34, we lose 35. 34. He says, I'm. I'm going to do my side, but do I trust you to build me a defense that's comp. That's. That's. I'm not saying they need to be the Broncos. I'm not saying they need to be the 85 Bears or the 2000 Ravens, but just get me a middle of the pack defense. Just get me somebody that doesn't give up 400 yards a game and 30 points a game. Give me somebody that says, okay, they give up 350 and they give up like, 17 to 20 a game.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Can we do that?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. Matter of fact, 20, 21, when they made that run and went to the super bowl, the defense, they weren't. They weren't top five. They definitely went at the bottom. They was right between 18 and 20.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes, but they were right about. Think about the turnover, the turnover that they created.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes. They accumulated a lot of turnovers as well. And. And you. You put the ball back in Burrow's hands that 20, 21 season, they were putting up points like a goddamn mama jammer. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

So now you giving up. You know, you giving up 400 yards a game, you giving up 30 plus points a game. It's. It's hard for you to win, especially go far, because, you know, one turnover or one situation where you don't get a. You. You know, you go three and I. Or you don't get points the other team's gonna make.

Today you pay. Ocho, just moments ago, Puka tweeted, can you say I was wrong? Appreciate you stripe for your contribution. Lol. Off the hill. I mean, think about Ocho that he just said. I mean, he just did a gesture. I didn't see it, but I guess he was on Aiden Ross's live stream and Aiden talked him into doing a gesture, and I guess it's deemed anti Semitic. I didn't see it. So, Chad, I. I'm the last one to speak on it, but he apologized for that earlier today. You would think after having apologized for doing something that I. I don't believe he knew what it was. I don't. I don't. And I could be wrong, but I don't believe he knew the gesture that he was doing would be viewed as anti Semitic or that's how that. The Jewish community, That's how they view the gesture. So I'm saying I don't believe he knew that. But to come out after the game and just say, appreciate you stripes. Puka, you don't get it, bro. Wait, go ahead, Ocho, who.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I mean, the. The reference and appreciate you stripes. Was that in reference to the refs? Oh, okay.

[Chad Johnson]

I guess he said. I guess he said he appreciate them for. I guess called. I don't know what it was, but, bro, just let it poop.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, see, I mean, you see, I. I need better context and perspective. I don't want to just jump the conclusion of what that actually means.

[Chad Johnson]

I appreciate you stripe for your contribution. I guess because he's like, you know, remember he said, ocho, these guys have regular jobs and they want to get on TV also. So sometimes they throw flags and say, hey, look, you can see me on tv. Puka, come on, bro. Okay, Pooka, you're too good. You don't have to do all that. You don't.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

You would have thought. You would have thought after the gesture. Have they find. Did they find him yesterday? Oh, this just happened yesterday. Okay.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, and the funny thing about it, too, when you think about it, Unk. I mean, there were no flags that were thrown that really.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, there was really, really no pass interference. I mean, you got the one on Jsn which was really. Was a pass interference. You don't need to twist him. You're there, Ocho. He's there.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Ocho, you can't. He played it. You knew what he was running for. The simple fact, basically, he walked off the line. So, you know, either it's a double move, which you got help over the top, or it's the slant. Yeah, you played it perfect. There is no reason for you. That means you're unsure. You not trusting what you saw on tape, because if you trusted what you saw on tape, you wouldn't. You wouldn't have felt the need to grab his waist because you like. Well, I got to do this just in case. It's out and up. But you didn't have to, bro. You got it played perfect. Yeah, look, if I. If I could talk to Po. I like puka this. You don't have to do this, bro. Just go play your. Your game. Speak loud. It speaks really, really loud, bro. You don't have to do this. Don't get to that look, though, because here's the thing. You know, these roughs, these refs are human. Now all of a sudden, now you start getting held, and you don't get the call, you wonder why there's a human element. People like, well, you just supposed that. No, you can't. You. That those refs are humans.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. Some.

[Chad Johnson]

That's. You understand why some NBA players get calls and some don't. Sometime some get teed up quick. Baseball, you keep arguing, okay, that ball might be right down the plate.

[Vizio/Walmart Advertiser]

Ball.

[Chad Johnson]

You. Look, bro, just for me, just. Just. Just. Just take it down a notchbook. Everybody knows who you are. You don't have to garner any more attention by, you know, saying outlandish thing. I'm gonna concede the fact oo. That when he was on that stream, he did not realize what he was doing would be viewed as derogatory or whatever the case may be.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

I didn't see it. Chat. But I'm saying because I didn't see it. The mere fact that he apologized let me know that he. Somebody informed him that he had done something wrong or what he did was wrong. Go ahead. Oh, hold on.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

He's apologizing because they had to be backlash for whatever it was. I mean, no one apologizes unless there's backlash. And. And. And. And you're informed from those around you. You know, those who are in position, you know, that help you in what you're doing. Hey, listen, this is something that you did on Stream, you know, certain people aren't taking it well. You need to come out and apologize. So they write some up for you. You know how they do it? They write some up for you. That's not in your words. And you post it and hit send.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I like. Look, I like. I've been around him a little bit. You know, he was in. I coached the all star game in Indy one year. NBA All Star game. And I like Puka. I love his game. I love his game. I love the physicality in which he plays with. I don't know how long you can play that style. Ocho, when you get that many targets and you think about all the bubble screens and all the, you know, stuff, the inserts that he runs, you see what happened. You actually think about Ocho. When you really go back and think about it, you know, Cooper cup only had one 1000 yard season. It was that historic season. Let that sink in. Ocho let that sink in. And after he had that season, what happened? Ocho, he broke down. So he's catching a lot of stuff. That's the physicality. Now he's a little bigger than Coop, but Cup ain't no small guy. People don't realize Cooper cup like six'.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Three, man, Cooper cup taller than this.

[Chad Johnson]

See, I think slot, they think Julian Edelman, they think Amendola, they think, they think Brandon Stokely, they think Wes Welker. Nope. Yeah, the Ram slot receivers are big, big men. I mean 6, 2, 6, 3, 210, 215, 220. And you have to be that size because you're going to take a lot of collisions. Hold up, let me see. Puka has 16 targets. He called 12 of them for 225. So you know, oo when you catch that many passes and the route and the, the amount of passes that he catch behind the line of scrimmage. So, you know, a lot of times D lineman hitting you from the back, LB's hitting you from the side, safety's coming downhill. But look, I know everybody's gonna say, man, that two point conversion, that's why you play snap the whistle, right? That's why you. Hey, the Seattle, I mean, it's like it was like the Rams didn't realize it. They thought it was just tipped. It's like it was incomplete. They didn't realize it was a backwards pass.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, I didn't realize it was either. I didn't. Everybody on the field stopped. So when everybody on the field stopped.

[Chad Johnson]

I thought, I thought, guess who didn't stop. Charbonneau but that, but that's what. Remember, Ocho, there's like, okay, the ball. And you see guys all the time scrambling for the ball sometimes. Like, well, that was a forward pass. Well, I'm gonna make sure it was a forward pass. I'm gonna pick it up and head the other way. Because if it wasn't a forward pass, it's about to be a touchdown. Or it's about to be our ball.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, one or the other.

[Chad Johnson]

And the officials, all they did was this. What? No whistleblow? Ain't no whistle blue.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

It's so funny. The officials was on top of it. And the officials don't even let you know it's a live ball. They just sit there staring, just waiting, just waiting.

[Chad Johnson]

I can't tell you.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

That's funny.

[Chad Johnson]

You might want to see. I know I shouldn't have listened to you. Oo man, you had asked man, Rashid, he had 91 yard last week. Guess how many pass he catch. Oo how many?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Everything else, though. You, you bull jing.

[Chad Johnson]

Look what you call them. Puka got a touchdown. Kyrie Williams has 70 yards. What? What else? The only one we missed was that.

[Sophie Cunningham]

That.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, he, I, I can. I'd have felt better if he have 10 yards, 15 yards.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Well, hold on, hold on, hold on. Now that is not that bad. Because everything else. I told you to go. I mean it. It was a green light. Now what you miss one that ain't that bad.

[Chad Johnson]

We don't get.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Damn. And we don't get nothing.

[Chad Johnson]

But look, I'm anxious to hear what Sean McVeigh said, because maybe Sean McVeigh said, well, we heard the whistle blow. Well, if the whistle blow, it doesn't matter if it was a backwards pass, the ball's dead. Whistle blows means plays over.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Anything that happens after that is not. Is null and void. So it's gonna be interesting to hear. I'll be interesting to hear chat. I don't know what y'.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

All.

[Chad Johnson]

If y' all watch the press conference. Listen to what the press conference had to say. Ocho, did you see A.J. barna's route? That 7 route that he caught the. The, the touchdown?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, you talk about the postponer. The post. Corner post.

[Chad Johnson]

No, the corner post.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Supposed.

[Chad Johnson]

That's Travis Kelce was supposed to run against Derwin James. You know why? Because Travis Kelce does sometimes run a far cross. So now you sell it. So you going up like this and then you look like you going on a far cross, guess what he going to do? He going to try to undercut you. And in the process of undercutting it, now you bend it Back to the.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

7, back to the corner. Yeah, that was. That was a nice little route.

[Chad Johnson]

A great route.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, hey. I thought he. I thought he was gonna drop it. The way he had to reach for that guy.

[Chad Johnson]

I thought he overshot him. I definitely thought he overshot him. But I ate. I ran. I ran a seven just like that against San Diego on a boot. Yeah, read that thing, Ocho. I hit like these are three steps to the post. I look, I said, oh, bro, you'd have picked that off if I was going to the post, but unfortunately for you, I'm going to the seven.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

You went back.

[Chad Johnson]

You went back out bad.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hold on, hold on. John. John rolled left and threw.

[Chad Johnson]

It was. It was Jake Plummer.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, so Jake.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, yeah, we read. Yeah, we ran a boot. So I start like. I'm running just. Just like what Barter ran, but instead of, okay, okay, this way. And went that way. I think that way, went this way.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Chad Johnson]

I said. Yeah, I said it sucks for you, bro. You scold for the third time.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Chad Johnson]

All right, but look here. I know the Rams lost tonight. I don't know who wants to see them. Even though they lost, I still think I. I think if they play again, they'll beat them.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, probably. Well, you know what? I don't know.

[Chad Johnson]

The games are close because you got to realize, I think the Rams kick the field goal to beat them in. It's going to be a close game. Oos a division rival. They know each other. Yes, I know you. You know me, know me. Seattle, if we don't turn the ball over three times. We had three turnover, remember? Cooper cup fumbled and they could have got three points. Three points or maybe even a touchdown.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Out of that. Out of that. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

So Seattle's thinking, bro, we take care of the ball. Hey, we good if I'm the Rams, it's like they're looking at the opportunities that were squandered, especially early. He overshoot Cooper. I mean, excuse me. He overshoots Puka Lyman comes in and he's blocking down the field. Takes a touchdown off the board. You end up having to settle for three. They go for it on fourth. Down is fourth and an inch and they don't get it. Yeah, this was a great game. This was a great.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, you know what you should feel like right now? You know what you should feel like? O. I probably, like, honestly, I'm not sure if you've ever had to talk. You know, I'm not sure if you ever had to take the walk of shame, you know, dealing with an older woman. And they always put you out the house. That's how you feel. You. You should feel like that right now. Like, you should feel empty. You should feel used, abandoned. I'm not sure what other words I can think of to. To. To kind of. But that's the only. Huh.

[Chad Johnson]

I feel let down.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should. You should. You should. Because, hey, the way you've been boasting and bragging about your Broncos, have I.

[Chad Johnson]

Not had something to boast and brag about? Ocho Dayum.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I mean, but listen, y'.

[Chad Johnson]

All.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Listen. Y' all had a one hell of a season. Y'. All.

[Chad Johnson]

Y' all gonna. What you mean the season ain't over? We 12 and 3.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I know, but I'm saying. Y'.

[Chad Johnson]

All.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Y' all 12 and 3. That's what I'm saying. You had one hell of a season. Still. I'm not. I'm not saying. I'm not saying anything. Y' all still going. Listen, y' all still going to the playoffs.

[Chad Johnson]

Absolutely.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Listen, tonight. Tonight. It's all about tonight. We ain't talking about the future. We ain't talking about the future. We talk about the night. Boy, y' all got y' all ass. You know what? I'm not even gonna curse tonight.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay? We gonna get to that game, but let's get to the game that we just this watch. The Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens by the score of 28 to 24. Drake made 31 of 44, 382 touchdowns. He had the one pick, but he was sensational. They ran the ball 23 times for 79 yards. Lamar Jackson got injured again, left the game, seemed like he took a knee to the ribs. He did not return. Tyler Huntley came in, played well, 9 of 10, 65 yards. Derrick Henry, 18 carries, 128, two touchdowns. But somehow he's got to find a way to protect the football And Zay Flowers. You would think by now the Ravens players would know that the protective football, but the M.O. is out on them. Ocho. Yes, Derrick Henry. One guy's going to tackle you, the other guy's going to try to get the ball out.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

The ball, yes.

[Chad Johnson]

Say, Flowers, you watching camp? Ocho, how many times have we seen the drill the defense run, Somebody throws the ball, and the entire defense sprints and goes to the football. The D line, the D end, the D tackle, the nose, whatever you run, they chase the football. Say, did you really think that you're five yards from the line of scrimmage, that you're gonna start and stop and nobody's gonna come from behind? Yeah, nobody.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Listen. Hey, Unc, when you. When you make those kind of moves, they have shifty. As Zay Flowers is. He has to understand. You got time for one move. After that, know when the journey's over. Knowing the journey's over because pursuit is coming. You got to know. You got. You got time for one move. You catch, you make one move, you either get your ass down or you go forward. One, one, whatever. You don't have time to make two. He tried to make a second move, huh, Ocho? And you can't do it.

[Chad Johnson]

Ocho. There's a minute and 45 minutes and 50 seconds on the clock, and you got three timeouts.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

You got plenty of time. That's the equivalent of three minutes.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

If you get out of bounds, no time. You don't even have to use your timeouts, but you got enough time to use your timeouts. There is nothing to be in a rush about. BA Be fast, but don't be in a rush.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hurt in a hurry. In a hurry. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

That's it, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

I don't get it. Zay Flowers, you got a problem, bro.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

You remember the AFC championship game? We. We've seen him have that problem again this year. Henry. You got a problem, bro? Yeah, that's. That's. The guy's gonna. One guy's gonna tackle you, the other guy's coming to get the ball out. Henry. Yeah. I'm just telling you what it is now, bro.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, you're right. Listen, D. Henry. D. Henry. His problem was obviously unknown. He was wearing them goddamn sleeves, and you can't feel a goddamn ball when you got them sleeves on. Remember he had the double sleeves on? And I said on the show, I guarantee you the rest of the season, he gonna take them damn sleeves off so he can feel the ball underneath his skin. You got to be Able to feel that pig skin. And then obviously tonight, it was. It was unlucky. Somebody wrapped him up. And listen, he hit the ball at the right place. He hit the ball in the right place, and it came out zay. Got to understand. You got to know when the journey is over, young boy, you got to understand. I know you want to make a play. We know you shifty. We know one person ain't gonna make a tackle or be able to bring you down. But in that situation, you got to know, get all you can and get to that. Get your ass down so you guys can do what you need to do and continue in that drive.

[Chad Johnson]

If you don't mind me asking, where did Derek Henry have the ball? Did he have the ball high and tight or did he have the ball right here?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

A little low? It was a little low. Yeah, it was a little low.

[Chad Johnson]

Now, you. Now you see, now, okay, he came back, he started carrying the high, but sometimes he relaxed and. You know, in football, you can't relax, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, absolutely not.

[Chad Johnson]

You got to be on high alert at all times. But look, Nate Wiggins had a chance to seal the game. He guessed right. They ran a slant. He played it perfect, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They blitzed.

[Chad Johnson]

You gotta close the deal. Yeah, you gotta close that deal, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

He.

[Chad Johnson]

You can't play it any better, Ocho. Yeah, he started creeping inside. He beat him to the point, Ocho, you end the deal. That's a pick. You gotta hit your head on the goal post. Now you run into the end zone and jump and slide down the goal post like you a fireman.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

When he didn't make that play, I said he lost the game. Yeah, it always happens like that. Go ahead.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I say he almost got it. Listen, he read it right. He understood there was a bits coming. And obviously when the blitz is coming that goddamn hot, it was two by two. You know the slant is coming every single time you watch him film. And he knows that. And he understood assignment. He just wasn't able to make the play.

[Chad Johnson]

No, you gotta make, Ocho. You gotta make the play. Yeah, because guess what happened? They go down and score a touchdown. Yeah, because the whole thing, what we say, Ocho, if they make a mistake, we gotta make them pay the ultimate price of six.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

If. If we make a mistake. Quarterback, just hold on to the ball. Wide receiver, if the ball is thrown up there, just break it up. Get a pack, get a PI. Just don't let them get. You gotta make that play, son.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

I Can't. I can't. We got the perfect defense on. We got the right call on. And guess what? The bliss is coming. You know, it's Ocho. He took one step and he starts creeping inside. If they run a sluggo, he dead to right. He done he, son. If they run a slow go, that's on me.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

That's on us. Yes.

[Chad Johnson]

If they run that slant, you be there to take it to the house.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

I'll be a damn.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. Hey, that goddamn Drake May. Huh? Boy, that goddamn Drake made you hear me? Hey, I don't. I don't know what it is about Robert Kraft. I don't know who does the goddamn draft in there, but, boy, they've been lucky. Boy, they have been lucky. Obviously you didn't hit with Mac Jones his first year. His first year. He was phenomenal.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. His first year coordinator. Tell the people who his offensive coordinator was.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Josh McDaniels.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay. Who's the Drake Maze offensive coordinator?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Josh McDaniels.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay. Bill Belichick tried to get cute. He's gonna have Matt Patricia and Joe Judge to be his offensive coordinator.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. Yeah. Matt Patricia is a defensive specialist. Huh? Matt Patricia is a defensive specialist. You know, I know that those who understand the game have been around the game long enough. Understand that's his specialty. There's no reason Matt Patricia should have been calling anything offensively. There's a reason why Mac Jones. I mean, Mac Jones. There's a reason why Drake may looks the way he does. Not only does he have the right supporting cast, not only does he have the right supporting cast, led by Stefon Diggs and brother Mack Hollands in the. In the. In booty. And the rest of them young boys, yeah, they have a great running game. They have a great running game and they got. Damn. Josh McDaniels is playing to Drake make strengths. He's playing the Drake make strengths. And it's. And it's. It's making things easy. They. Making it look easy. I mean, the Patriots are back, huh?

[Chad Johnson]

They.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

They in the playoffs now. The Patriots are.

[Chad Johnson]

They.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

They got it.

[Chad Johnson]

They got a chance. They got a chance. Along with. Look, the. The Patriots. Yeah, the Broncos. Yes, the Jags all have a chance. The. The Chargers all got a chance at the number one seed. Oh, yeah, the inside track, basically, it could be the Jags because the Jags have beat the Broncos. They beat the Chargers. They beat the 49ers. They beat the Chiefs.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

How's that for an impressive resume?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, very impressive. And matter of fact, you Know what?

[Rob Gronkowski]

The.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

The Ferrari still in the garage. The Ferrari for the Jaguar is still in the garage. I'm assuming he's out for the season, right?

[Chad Johnson]

Who? That Travis Hunter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

He. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, listen. That made me. Listen. The Ferrari. The Ferrari, as I like to call him. He's still in the garage. So they were able to do what they've done this. This year offensively without Travis Hunter, your number two pick. You know, someone who's special, who's been a. Who's been. Who we know can do some things on both sides of the ball. And they've been. They've been phenomenal all year long. And what, The Jaguars, what, 11 and 4 or 12 and 4?

[Chad Johnson]

Yes, 11 and 4.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Man.

[Chad Johnson]

Listen, Duvall, man, Ocho, they might as well just go ahead and shut Lamar down.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, well, he had.

[Chad Johnson]

He has not been the same since he's came back and. Oo. And.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

And.

[Chad Johnson]

And, you know, I don't really advocate for anything like this.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

But it might be time for the Ravens to get a new voice. They're moving further and further away from getting where they want to be.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right, hold on. Wait, wait. Take your time. Take your time. Real quick. Now, it's Sunday, so if you're gonna preach, I'm gonna need better context and to give me a little bit more perspective. Now, when you say they need a new voice. A new voice.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes. A new. Yes. They need to go in a different direction. First of all, they've allowed this team to get old and slow. They got no pass rush. Drake May had all night. And when you brought pressure, that sacrifice your back end.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson]

Marlon Humphrey's a little older now. He's not the same Marlon Humphrey that he once was. Although he had great. A great coverage on Williams. It was just a perfect throw, but you cannot allow the guy to pat the ball. Drake May was just patting the ball, Right? Just patting the ball. Just patting the ball all night long. And when you brought pressure because they're not good in coverage. Yeah. He just picking them apart.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And. And. And I look at the Ravens right now, there's not one Baltimore Raven fan that can tell you that they have a realistic chance if they were to make the playoffs. Even if Lamar came back, they got a realistic chance of getting to and winning the Super Bowl. They're further away now. They've gotten further and further away from the super bowl than what they were a couple of years ago. The Steelers beat the Lions 29, 24. Jackson. Jared Goff somehow scored a eight yard rush touchdown as time expired. But an offensive penalty nullified the game winning score. Head referee Carl Cheppers explained because of the penalty was on the offense that golf's touchdown was nullified by NFL rules. An offensive penalty when time expired does not trigger a replay for a previous play. So the Steelers walked away with a crucial late season victory. Oh, at some point in time.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, talk to me.

[Chad Johnson]

What's the coach name? The Lions coach.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, Dan Campbell.

[Chad Johnson]

Dan Campbell.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

At what point in time Ocho, is he gonna take points?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, instead of just going for it.

[Chad Johnson]

So now if he take the points in the first quarter, when he got the ball right now to kick a field goal, guess what he gets to do now, Ocho? Walk it off.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Walk it off. Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

You did that last year and it worked for you. Yes, just like the Chiefs, Ocho, the Chiefs record in one score games last year was what? Now look at them this year in one score game, it's the complete opposite. If you think what you did last year is going to carry over and translate to what you do this year, you're fooling yourself. It weighs out. There's no way you can be 30 and 30 wins and one score games.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

You can't keep going for a Dan Campbell on fourth down. You're putting too much pressure, too much pressure on your team. Yeah, and he going forward on fourth and fourth. Oh, Jordan ain't fourth and one. Yeah, fourth and four.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, that's, that's, that's extreme confidence in your team. That's extreme confidence in your offense, extreme confidence in your game plan, your schematics and everything you have going on where you feel. Hey, 4th and 4, Man F analytics. I don't care what analytics say. We going for it because I believe in my team. This is the guns that I stick by and I'm gonna stick by them. This is what I've always done and I'm a die on that hill.

[Chad Johnson]

It takes. You have to be special, Ocho, to be confident and not delusional. You gotta be careful.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I like that. That's a good one right there, boy.

[Chad Johnson]

That's a skill in and of itself to be confident and not delusional. Just look at your team. Is your team the same? Is your team offensively and your team defensively the same as it was last year?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, defensively they're not. They are depleted defensively. I'm talking about com. Completely depleted deep. Offensively, you still, you still there.

[Chad Johnson]

You still got everything you need. Look at your defense. I think both Your corners out. Your safety is out.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Safety is out.

[Chad Johnson]

Yep.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Brian Branch is out. Kirby Joseph. I mean, that boat strong and free, huh?

[Chad Johnson]

Yes. Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

So, yeah, they're depleted. Matter of fact, the damn Lions have the same issue they had last year. Defensively, yes, everybody was hurt. Everybody was banged up. The onus of winning games was on the offense, which is why you had to go for it sometimes on those four downs. And that might be the reason why he is doing it. Because he doesn't want to put the ball back in Aaron Rodgers hands. We got to go for it, hoping we can get it because our offense is that good. I trust in Jameson now. I trust in my quarterback, Jared Goff to make the right decisions with the ball. I got Jameer Gibbs, I got David Montgomery, I got, you know, so, so he's going for it. Trusting that his team is going to do what they need to do.

[Chad Johnson]

Because I don't want to put my.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Defense back out there.

[Chad Johnson]

I think you got to tip your hat to the Steelers defense, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, they played good.

[Chad Johnson]

Detroit ran the ball 12 times for 15 yards.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

They played better.

[Chad Johnson]

Somebody hold this rank. This Lions rush attack.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

To 15 yards with Gibbs and Montgomery puts a lot of stress on Jerry Goff. And he was good. He was 34, 54, 364, three touchdowns.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Nope. Nope.

[Chad Johnson]

Picks, no picks. I'm surprised that they called that on Tesla. But bro, you gotta make it seem you just can't run in there and put your head down. They're gonna call it Ocho. You gotta make Ocho. All you gotta do, you wanna make the guy bubble, just go down there and turn around right quick like you looking for the ball. Because St. Brown is gonna be right off your hip. Yeah. You can't run into the guy. They're gonna call it every time.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Every time.

[Chad Johnson]

And I, I, I, I bet your doorknob to a bucket of co. His position coach has gone over with him that, gone over that with him numerous times, son. You just can't run into the guy. You got to make it look like you're running, running a route. If you run into the guy that's not running a route, they're going to think you're blocking him and they're going to call it every time, son.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, I'm sure. You know it's coach like that. You know it is because that co coaches are going to be thorough on plays like that because they know he. If you don't do it the right way, you know the flag is coming out, flag is coming you know it's coming.

[Chad Johnson]

The Lions playoff hopes are slim to none now. Ocho. Detroit leads the packers to lose their last two games against the Ravens and the Vikings and the Lions need to win their last two games against the Vikings and the north leading Chicago Bears in order to keep their playoffs hopes alive. It's not looking good. The Steelers with. Same thing with the Steelers. The Steelers are in a commanding position. They would need to lose their last two games and have the Baltimore Ravens win their last two games. And I don't see that happening. The Ravens, that's over. Yeah, that's over. But back to, back to Detroit, Aaron Rodgers was 27 to 41, 266, one touchdowns, no interception. He was sacked twice. Jalen Warren 14 carries. Ocho A Buck 43, 10 yards of carry. They had 230 yards rushing. Kenneth Gainwell was unbelievable. That catch that he made, I still don't know how he caught that.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

That was nice song. Listen, you talk about, you talk about the football gods being on your side, the ball bouncing in your favor. That's, that's all that was. That was nothing. But the football God's own brother Gainwell side, you know, and the fact, hey, he's such an awesome dude threat hunk. He can run the ball. He, they can line him up outside, he can come out the backfield, you know, run, oh, man, run diagonals.

[Chad Johnson]

He can run.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

He can run deep. I mean, he, he's really, he's been a great acquisition to that offense for Aaron Rogers.

[Chad Johnson]

I love what Aaron Rogers said. Aaron Rogers said we got him on the cheap. He said, my job is to get him paid. He said, I'm gonna get him paid. He damn sure gonna get him paid. I don't know if it's gonna be in Pittsburgh, but somebody can use that. He can return puns. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. He can run the ball. Yeah, he's small, but Darren Sprouls played a. Darren Sproul played damn near 15 years and he was smaller than Gainwell. So I don't want to hear nothing, but I don't care nothing about no.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Size and, and, and what's, what's important also is Gainwell going to a place where they're going to use him to his strengths. See, the Steelers are using them to his strengths. You know, finding the mismatches, putting them in position to be able to make those plays where they know you're not going to be able to stop it. You know what he reminds me of? And, and, and Chat, chat. Please forgive me. Young Bull was so good. He played with the Atlanta Falcons. He won number 84. They put him at running, but he.

[Chad Johnson]

Was in Cordell Patterson.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

What? He remind me of Cordell Patterson, because Cordell Patterson was your elite Swiss army knife that can do everything. Yeah, he could do everything. You know what else is like that? A little bit.

[Chad Johnson]

Joshua Cribbs.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Josh Cribbs went to Florida fast as hell.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, Percy Harvey.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Percy goddamn Harvey. Yeah, Percy was like that, too. They lined Percy up any goddamn. Well, come and get it however you want it.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I. The Steelers. I. I commend the Steelers because they. They. The way they played today, they went on and that defense was sensational.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, they was on the mission to run.

[Chad Johnson]

They did an unbelievable job at stopping to run, and they got enough pressure on Detroit, but they had an opportunity to win the game. Late in the ball game, to get a PI call. Tesla just got. You got to be smart, son. You gotta be smart. You can't run in there and duck. Duck your head, because to the officials, it looked like you're blocking. You got to look like you're going in there to catch a pass. If you do that, you win the ball game.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

But they're going to miss the playoff this year, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. I mean, listen, it happens. It happens something when. When. When you lose certain players, when you lose key players on your defense and all the pressures on your offense to do everything. Right now, Dan Campbell, he has to be a lot more aggressive than he wants to be. I mean, it's something that he's used to doing. But I don't want to put my defense back out there because I understand that I'm putting us in harm's way. We're not very good at stopping people because some of my better players, my key players and key positions are not available.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh. But what overshadowed the Steelers victory was DK Metcalf being involved in an altercation with a fan at Ford Fields during the second quarter.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And an angle of the incident posted on Instagram. DK walked up to a fan, grabbed him by a shirt collar, pulled him closer, and then forth forcefully shoved him, Shoved him back. Now, I read something where the guy said he called him by his government name.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, I could tell you.

[Chad Johnson]

Go ahead.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, I'm just. I got word. Obviously, I'm not condoning, you know, putting your hands on the fan or punching the fan, but he did call him a racial slurry. Called an N word.

[Chad Johnson]

And.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

And he did call his mama. And I think with Those words being exchanged and the fans saying that. I think that's where the action, you know, occurred, where he threw. I think he threw a punch. I'm not sure if he connected or whatever, but he did call him the N word and he called his mama. Mama, I guess.

[Chad Johnson]

C word. Just say the C word. Ojo.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, my bad. Oh, that's bad.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, it's bad. It's terrible. It's terrible.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay, My bad. Yeah, okay. But yeah, he did that. So he called him the N word and the C word as a bad combination. A bad combination.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

And it caused DK to react. I'm sure he would have to. He would have to deal with some type of discipline. You know how the NFL is. No matter. No matter what, no matter what said they want you to be able to control yourself in, In. In that situation. But I understand, I understand.

[Chad Johnson]

I agree. Because that's. I think the guy was giving his side of it. He said all he did was call him by his government name. And I'm like, I'm sure a lot of people called him by. He's heard his government name called before. Right, I see. That's a strong overreaction for someone to call. Be called you a government name and then you react like that. So I didn't put a whole lot of credence into that. No. I'm sure somebody that was close by would have heard what he said. It's going to come out. It's going to come out. I'm sure those fans. Because at the end of the day, yeah, hey, we all Detroit Lions fans, but more times than not, when you're wrong, fans will normally come with as a visitor or not. If fan gets out of line, fans normally can say, no, that's not what was said. Yeah, you said this, this and this. You did this, this and this.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

And matter of fact, another reason why fans are going to come out, especially Detroit Lions fans. They're not going to allow one fan to make the rest of us look bad. They're not gonna allow that. Listen, whatever he said, we ain't got nothing to do with that. We don't feel like that. Now, he might have been drunk out of his mind, right? And said some things that he's probably going to come back and apologize for. But if I'm not mistaken, but you know, they got sound that can catch everything in that stadium.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Everything.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Especially sitting that close to the sideline. Now, I'm sure. I'm sure it will come out. It. It probably will. And I guarantee you one thing about it. As a player, you're not gonna lie about what somebody said, because in order for somebody to catch your attention, for you to walk from the sideline all the way.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, that ain't no government name, Monk. You know goddamn well. But hold on. You said what? Let me, Let me holla at you for a little minute, man. And there was another situation like that. Remember when Marcus Peters, somebody said something. Marcus Peters. And he walked back there and say, man, hold on. But what you say?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Don't let, don't let this football game fool you now.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, you're right. I, I, I. Look, I, I just hate. Look, I, I get it. Your team cheer, you know, big static. But y' all gotta, y' all gotta chill with these names, man.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, why would you, why, why go to do that? To call somebody a racial slur. Why do you call somebody. Why would you do that?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Why?

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, to get a reaction cheer. But you, you ain't got. You, you ain't got to call me no racial slur. You ain't got to do none of that. Now, I want everybody that, you know, there's a lot of, There's a lot of hate going on.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

That's being disseminated. I'm gonna need a couple of the guys that, you know, y' all know who y' all pick up. What, what we said 5amonth ago and try to run with it. I want y' all to cover this too. But this right here, man. Ocho, when I'm listening, I'm like, well, damn, for DK to go over there, and it's like, well, he said. All I said was his, his government name. I'm like, that man walked. Ray crossed that. Just cause you said his government name.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, you know, good and well, you know. And the funny thing about it too, unc, is they pick up the sound. Those, I forgot what those devices are called that they have on. On the sideline.

[Chad Johnson]

They got boom mics.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, the boat, the boom mics. They pick up all that. Especially when you sitting that close to the field, they picking up all that. So if you sitting here talking about, oh, I just said it's Govern my name, definitely the NFL is going to come out and correct you if you're lying.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Listen, DK is going to have to deal with his, his punishment regardless.

[Chad Johnson]

He gonna deal with it. He gonna get fine or he's gonna get suspended.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

He was.

[Chad Johnson]

Something's gon happen, and he understands that. But at that point in time, he's like, Bro, you, you, you being wild, disrespectful.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

You being wild, disrespectful. The NFL is not going to take kindly this OO because even though they say, look, what he said was wrong, you can't.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, you can't. You can't touch him, Unc. You can't touch him. You can't. You can't touch him. But, but that's, that's one of those situations. That's one of those situations where fans are, are so comfortable being able to say what they want to say because they do. They feel protected. You know, they're very comfortable. You know, they sitting in the, in the stands and I can be able to say what I want to, you know, and sometimes you can say certain things because you don't know how certain people are going to react to certain things that they hear. Everybody don't react the same, right? Everybody don't react the same. So depending on what you do say, I kind of understand it. But on the, on the flip side of things, okay, you can't do that, but I understand.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yo, Justin Herbert keep the Chargers rolling right, right along.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Towards the playoff. They won 34 to 17 over the Cowboys. Justin Herbert is getting more and more comfortable with that broken left hand and that was heavily protected. The Chargers fourth consecutive win gave them a chance before week 17 to clinch their second postseason birth in two seasons. Under Jim Harbaugh. The Los Angeles would be the 11 and 4 would be be in with a loss or a tie by Andy, which plays Monday night. LA would have the tiebreaker over Denver with a season sweep by winning the regular season finale at Denver. Ocho, yo. This is what Jerry Jones said. I'll admit that Cowboys management has played a big role in the 30 year Super bowl drought. But seriously, I'm very disappointed that the way we're constructed and my role puts us here tonight. I'm tremendously disappointed. I'm. I'm really better when I'm getting my ass kicked than I am when having success. I would have been. Have made some decisions. I've made work. But we get one team that gets to the super bowl every year. Actually you get two teams. Only one wins, two that gets there. One of those conference. Jeff 200 playoff teams. And I'm looking forward to next year getting back to that championship game, maybe beyond. And then I'll be right at the top of the list of how it's been since you've been. You've been to one and that's how you do it right at the top, and this will. And this will all go away. Ocho. You see, the thing is, he gets to say all that. You know, I'm disappointed. But normally when people keep disappointing and keep disappointing, what happens? They lose the job.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

They lose the job.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Absolutely. Again. Again. Somebody has to say something. I don't know who it can be. Maybe it'd be Stephen Jones. Maybe. I'm not sure if he has a daughter or maybe he has somebody that Charlotte.

[Chad Johnson]

He does have a George. He have Two sons. Jerry Jr. Steven and Charlotte.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay, well, maybe Ms. Charlotte can say something. Or maybe if he has a therapist, maybe if he has a counselor, somebody close to him has to say something. You know, I don't know who it would be. I don't know if Jerry. I'm assuming Jerry has an ego. I'm sure Jerry has pride. But if. If you've been doing something the same way for so long and you expect things to be different, if you continue to do it the same way, that's a sign. That's a sign of. Damn. I forgot the word.

[Chad Johnson]

Huh?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hold on. The word. The word was insanity. Insanity. That's a sign. Hey, That's a sign of insanity. I'm gonna keep doing it the same way, and at some point it's gonna work.

[Chad Johnson]

That's the definition of insanity, is to keep doing. Is to do the same thing over and over and hope for a different result.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Bingo. Well, he's doing it the same way over and over.

[Sophie Cunningham]

He.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Jerry, sit back and relax. Kick your feet up. Smoke your cigar. Let Miss Charlotte. And let Steven take over the reins. Let. Let him do it. Let him do it. Just give it to him. Let him. Let's see how it goes, huh? Let somebody else do it, baby. Let Jerry. Let somebody else ride the horse, man. We know it's your team. We know you're the owner. You don't got to be front center all the time. Come on, baby.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm. I'm.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

You know what? I'm. I'm gonna go to Dallas. I'm gonna talk to Jerry myself.

[Chad Johnson]

And do what?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I'm gonna talk to Jerry myself. I'm gonna add. I'm ask for a meeting with Jerry because the Cowboy fans deserve it. The players that play for the Cowboys, they deserve it. They don't need any more added pressure. They don't need to hear no more super bowl talk at all. Jerry, take a backseat. Let Miss Charlotte, let Stephen, Mr. Steven do what they need to do defensively, huh? Let them do what they need to do. Defensively, in building a quality team, defensively, you need three good players. You need three good players. Matter of fact, actually, they need to get you a middle backup and get you somebody on the back end that can.

[Chad Johnson]

What about a pass rusher?

[Mandy Woodruff Santos]

Huh?

[Chad Johnson]

What about a pass rusher?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay, a pass rush. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. See, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about Quinn and Williams and Kenny Clark. My bad. You do realize edge, you need somebody on the edge. You right. You right.

[Chad Johnson]

You know who's the most sacked quarterback in the NFL?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Who?

[Chad Johnson]

Justin Herbert. Guess how many times he got taken down today? This the first game this season that he didn't get sacked?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Zero.

[Chad Johnson]

This is the first game this year that he didn't get sacked. He's the most sacked quarterback in the NFL and the Cowboys couldn't take him down.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

That's crazy. And that, that says a lot. That's ten.

[Chad Johnson]

Wait a second. But they got better. Remember, he told his fans, and the fan says, I'm glad. Now which guy who has the most sacks on the team? Probably Jadavian, Clowney, Ziggy. They got two first round picks. It was. And.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Now you listen, those two first round picks, are they going to be impact players? Are they going to come and make an impact right away? I mean, you know, no first round pick, hey, that's the toss up. Some pan out, some don't.

[Chad Johnson]

So the leading sackers have five sacks and, and four sacks. Hey, Michael's done for the year and he had 12 and a half.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

That's crazy. Hey, just, just think of the difference in, in, in, in skill and quality of players. Miles, Miles Garrett has 21 and a half and the most by a Cowboy player is five.

[Chad Johnson]

Miles Garrett got more sacks probably than to have Cowboys whole team. Oh, but see, here's the thing. But see, you missed this part. What he said, he says, I'm looking forward to next year, to getting back in that championship game and maybe beyond. And then I'll be right at the top of the list of how it's been, how it's been since you've been there. I'll be, not will be. I'll be. You see, we missed that the first time. Always, always has, always will be about him. And there lies the problem.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

I, I'm glad you said that. I'm glad you pointed it out. I'm glad people can. Now see, now you have a little bit more context. Now you have a better perspective on why things are going the way they are because you have someone who's running the Team who's calling the shots. He gives the green light and the red light on what goes and what doesn't go. And he wants all the credit. He wants all the credit.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, I'll admit the cowboys management has played. What you mean, cowboys management? You. You. The cowboy management has played a big role in this 30 year Super bowl drought.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

You.

[Chad Johnson]

You said you make every decision, Chad. Am I lying, Cowboy fans? Is that what Jerry said? Did Jerry say he makes every decision? The buck stop with him. So I'll admit the cowboys management has played a big role in this 30 year Super bowl drought. But seriously, I'm very disappointed the way we're structured. You structured it, Ojo. How do I build? How do I design the house? I build a house and then I go in there say, I don't like this, bro. You hired the architect to draw this up. They built it to the specifications. That was on the blueprint. Yeah, and now you don't like it. You put it together, Jerry. Well, how you disappointed with something you put together? I'm confused.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, hey, Jerry. Funny, unc. Very funny at this point. And he be dead serious, though. Hey, he be dead serious.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, man. How you build? You built. You mad about something that you. You paid an architect? I mean, because that's normally how it works, Ocho. You design a home, you play somebody architect to draw up a blueprint. You want this many square feet. You want 3, 3, 500, 5,000, whatever the case may be, Draw it up. This is what I like. I need a. I need a. You know, my wife need a sitting area. You know, she wants to like to do her hair and makeup. You know, she wants one of those things, one of those stations. Like she had a beauty salon. You know, the hot turd, the curling out and all that stuff in the wall.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

She want to walk in closet that look like a Chanel shop that you pulled around that, you know, you don't take the stuff, you just pull it out just like you do at a salon, right? What's all that? She want her side. I'm gonna need my side, right? Everything. I want me a little. I want me a little theater room, hold about 10 people.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay?

[Chad Johnson]

Like that island. I want, you know, I want signature appliances, sub zero, stove top, you know, other arrange. Yeah, I want all that, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Throw me a little fire pit on the black side. So, you know, if I got people over. We outside, we talking and laughing. Oh, my God, Ocho, I love what you've done with the place. You know, we Having a good old time, Ocho. Oh, yo, where are you on Cambodia? You should come see Hell and I up in that jacket. We'd love to have you. You know what I'm saying?

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right? Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

And then I go in there like, man, this is some bullshit. Well, Mr. Sharp, this is what you are commissioned. I can't blame. I can't blame them. All they did was build to the specifications, right? That was on the blueprint, Jerry. Don't say no. Management, they did exactly what you instructed them to do, right? So it's not Management. It's you.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Damn. That's crazy. Hey, I got to talk about.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, we get one team, we get to go to the Super Bowl. So I guess he's talking about the nfc. Only one team gets to go from the nfc.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And two that gets to those conference championship playoff games. I'm looking forward to next year to get him back. Now, if Clark Hunt said this, got no problem, right? If. If. If Jeffrey Lurie said this, no problem. They don't make, you know, hey, Clark Hunt came out and said, look, there are some things that we need to do. I'm looking forward to getting back to the championship game, okay? Bro, when you ain't been to the championship game in a generation, you don't get to say you. Bro, stop it. Kansas City can say that. If the. If the. No. If the Eagles. If they don't get back, because they've.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Been recently, twice at that.

[Chad Johnson]

Mr. Clark. Mister. Mr. Kraft. They get to say that. You don't get to say that. You have not been to a championship game in three decades. A whole generation. A whole generation. That's on you, Jerry.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Damn. And you know what? Matter of fact, speaking of making a splash, you knowing that Jerry likes to make splash. He likes to be in the headlines. He can make a big one in the off season. Hey, no, hey, what's. What's the one thing.

[Chad Johnson]

Jumping in the pool.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

No, what's the one thing you said they need defensively? They. They need a what?

[Chad Johnson]

Need the edge. They need a Russia.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, it's. It's a. It's a nice. It's a nice old Russia down there in Cleveland. That. But sure look good with a star on his helmet.

[Chad Johnson]

They ain't letting him go.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

You heard me. Hey, Chat, what y' all think about that? Miles?

[Chad Johnson]

There might be a chance that he can go get Max Crosby.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Miles Garrett to the Cowboys. What y' all think? No. Yes. No.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, Miles Garrett makes anybody better, right? But right now, he's Your only selling thing that you have in Cleveland, until you get a franchise quarterback, the only thing you can sell is Miles Garrett.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, shoot, bro. That's crazy, bro. Somebody. Hey, somebody said, with what money?

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, you. You have to. You look. They're gonna do something with that. Dak. Today was 21 of 30, 244, two touchdowns. They ran the ball. They didn't look. They fell behind us. Pick had 7 for 130 in the tub. CD was 6 for 51. Jake Ferguson was 3 for 19. They just. They just. They just could not get off the damn field. Yeah, they just could not get off the field. They go for it on fourth down and we're putting. They were coming. They gave up 400. They were. The charger was 7 of 11 on third down. They had 452 yards, 23 of 29, that 152 yards rushing. They had 300 yards passing. They possessed the ball almost 10 more minutes.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, that goddamn George Pickens boy, man, that dude that do that deep ball, right?

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

On the left sideline. And this month, this dude Pick hit another gear to make sure he got to it.

[Chad Johnson]

I just don't know how he catch the ball. I don't know how these guys catch the ball. Let the ball drop down here to catch the goal ball. Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, yeah. You like to catch a high?

[Chad Johnson]

Yes. Hell yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

He.

[Sophie Cunningham]

He.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

He late. He late handed. He late handed.

[Chad Johnson]

CD Lamb has the record for the most receiving yards in Cowboys history. He had 1749. Then Michael Irvin has the next three at 1603, 1523 and 1396. Dez has 1382. Right now George Pickens has 1342 yards to. Is seventh on that list with 1, 355 yards. So George Pickens got a chance to move up into the top three.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Chad Johnson]

Who. Who does? Cowboys. Who? The Cowboys have they got? I know they got the Giants. Don't they have the Giants once and Commanders and Giants. Command and commanders at Giants down the road the next two. So I'm giving them 100 in both of those games. The question is, is Jerry go? Is Jerry gonna play? Dak. Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Deck ain't gonna want to sit down that game. Gonna want to sit down that ain't listening to that. I done played the whole season with no issues. I am not sitting down these last two games. I'm gonna finish this season off strong, right? I'm gonna.

[Chad Johnson]

And he got a chance to lead the league in passing. Cause where is he right now? Is he in front. Did he overtake Stafford again? Because stat he was like a couple of, he was like a 150 yards behind. So he's probably in the lead with like 4, 300. Staff is at 41, what 50.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

They must be, they going back and neck. They're going back and forth.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, Stafford is four yards in front of him. Right. So 4179 to 4175. That player. Hey, I led the league in passing. I want that on my resume.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh yeah, absolutely. I need that. Every, hey, listen, every little bit counts.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. You don't think. Oh, at the time I remember saying, honestly, I don't remember at the time thinking about like. Because they, they didn't really keep all these like all these stats now. Well, you know Shannon, you got the most, you tied in with the most 150 yard receiving game. I didn't know about to tell that because I had some times I had 140 and come out. I wouldn't took my ass back in there to get, try to get 150.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right, right, right, right, right.

[Chad Johnson]

Or some games that. Oh, I had like 90s. Yeah. I'm in the mid to high 90s.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

Well I might as well go back in there and catch me a five yard route and get a Hyundai. Yeah, but, but, but in this situation you're that player. The rams got the 49ers and the Cardinals, right? Rams have five Falcons and Cardinals at Falcons. Okay. Oh yeah, he gonna like, he gonna like the Cardinals up. Falcons got a pretty good defense, especially at home. They can get out there now. People talk about that eating a dump truck load of empty calories. I don't care. Ain't nobody gonna remember. Nobody's gonna remember.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, but think about this.

[Chad Johnson]

Bryce Young threw two touchdowns. The Panthers finally beat the Bucks 23:20 to take over first place in the NFC. South Carolina could wrap up the NFC south next Sunday with a win over Seattle and a Tampa loss to Miami. However, if the Bucks beat the Dolphins, Carolina would need to beat Tampa in their regular season finale to end the Bucks four year reign as division champ. Remember Ocho, we said last week we talked about Carolina, you let one slip away with New Orleans. Yeah, you had them. You had them 17 7.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And you let them come back and get you. And now it's been over. They didn't won the division.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, yeah, but listen, we gonna win the division anyway. I said, I say we gonna win the division anyway.

[Chad Johnson]

They're gonna be, they're gonna be Seattle and And Carolina.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

And we gonna win the division anyway. I want you to say something. I want you to do something for me real quick, Chad. I want you to. I want you to do something with me real quick. You know, I'm acting like we're in kindergarten. I just want you to repeat after me like we. Like we in the prayer line. You hear me?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

All right. Just say what I say. Keep pounding.

[Chad Johnson]

Keep pounding.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

That's all it is right there. That's all you need to know. Hey. That's all you need to know. You hear me? I told y', all and I'm gonna tell you again. I told you before the season started, I told you what the Panthers was gonna do. A lot of people laughed at me. He haha. Chad don't know what he talking about. He's a fool. He joke too much. Nah, I told you, okay? Now, I'm not Cleo. I'm not a crystal ball. I just understand what they had. Bryce Young, what he looked like after getting benched, he gonna be something special. I understood that was gonna carry over, you know, it was like.

[Chad Johnson]

Bryce Young was 21 of 32, 1912 touchdowns. They ran the ball 20 times for 101 yards. Ted McMillan, six catches of 73 yards and a touchdown. Jatavion Sanders had a touchdown. And they picked Baker off in the waning minutes. Baker was 18 of 26, 145, one touchdown, one reception. Bucky Irving had 19 carries for 71 yards. Baker had four for 49. Rasheed White had five for 45. So they had to. They ran the ball really well. They ran the ball for 5 yards of carry, 33 carries, a buck 69. But Carolina defense was really. Was exceptional today. They did an unbelievable job. Unbelievable job.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. You know what the funny thing about it is, is when you, when you look at the Panthers, the Panthers as a whole, and I'm just. I'm just going to talk about them offensively, their defense is playing really good ball. But as a whole, offensively, goddamn Bryce Young, they not even. They not even in their bag yet. They not even using everybody at their disposal like they should. And they still pulling off these wins and upsetting teams, teams that most of the time, if you was a betting man, you would bet the other team is going to beat them because it's the Panthers. This ain't the same old Panthers no more, man.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm telling you.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Listen to me now. And it's going to be like this going forward, okay? As long as Bryce Young is at the helm and making the right decision with the ball and not putting the team in harm's way. Making the play, the support, important cast. Everybody plays so well off of each other. It's phenomenal to see. It's great to see. And Panthers fans should be excited. I'm just happy. I'm just happy for them. And, and I'm a Panther fan.

[Chad Johnson]

It'd be unbelievable turnaround, Ojo, for them to win the division. Oh, give those fans in Carolina something to, to get excited about. They got a very promising future.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Canalis has done a great job of making this team and, and getting them heading in the right direction.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And I'm, I'm excited for Bryce Young. He's a little on the smaller side, Ocho, but I'm afraid he, he ain't gonna get much bigger than what he already is.

[Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson)]

And, and you know what? He's a little on the smallest side and he doesn't take no punishment. He doesn't take no punishment. He does everything the right way. Matter of fact, we need to have Bryce Young talk to Jackson Dart.

[Chad Johnson]

Nah. Jackson Dark say y' all trying to take it competitive. Nah, don't worry about it. You just keep on doing what you're doing. Let me know how that work out, but I'll circle back with him in a couple of years.
