Introduction

In the latest episode of Club Shay Shay, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe invites former professional football player Chad Johnson to dissect the Dallas Cowboys' recent performance against the Houston Texans. The conversation delves deep into the team's structural issues, coaching decisions, and the broader implications for the Cowboys' future prospects.

---

Game Analysis: Cowboys vs. Texans

Sharpe and Johnson kick off the discussion by analyzing the Cowboys' substantial loss to the Texans, which ended with a score of 34-10. They scrutinize the game's dynamics, highlighting the issues that led to the Cowboys' downfall.

Shannon Sharpe emphasizes the severity of the defeat:
“They can only do so much in offensive line. You can only do so much on the defensive line to be able to get pieces in there that can, that can, that can be adequate, that can hold up where you can compete at the level you need to compete for a championship…”
[09:02]

Johnson echoes this sentiment, focusing on specific shortcomings:
“You get exactly what you deserve. Yes, sir, an ass whipping. That's what the Cowboys got. That's what they earned.”
[06:37]

---

Offensive Struggles: Blockage and Playmaking

A significant portion of the conversation centers around the Cowboys' offensive struggles, particularly their inability to establish a consistent running game. Johnson criticizes the over-reliance on passing plays without sufficient support from the offensive line.

Chad Johnson points out the imbalance:
“You allow Cooper Rush to throw the ball 55 times. Yeah, he had C.J. 23 of 34, 257. No touchdowns, one interceptions. Offensive line did a great job. Only gave up one sack.”
[08:00]

Sharpe adds context to the offensive inefficiency:
“If you don't know what needs to be done to compete and win, you can't do it. There’s only so much Jerry Jones can do as far as rebuilding is concerned. You can't build every aspect of your team.”
[09:28]

---

Defensive Failures: Linebackers and Sacks

The Cowboys' defensive performance is another focal point. The discussion highlights the lack of effective pass rushers and the overall defensive line weakness.

Chad Johnson critiques the defensive line:
“Zack Martin is not the same. And everybody else in general is bare minimum at best. And I'm just saying, those guys no longer play with the same ferocity.”
[07:00]

Sharpe concurs, emphasizing the impact on the team's ability to protect the quarterback:
“How the offensive line is terrible. You let TJ Watt knock his ass.”
[08:00]

---

Coaching and Management Critique: Jerry Jones Under Fire

A substantial part of the episode is dedicated to critiquing Cowboys' owner and general manager Jerry Jones. Both Sharpe and Johnson express skepticism about Jones' ability to effectively rebuild the team.

Chad Johnson bluntly states:
“Honestly, Jerry, you doing a terrible job. Ain’t nobody gonna say that.”
[11:44]

Sharpe reflects on Jones' stubbornness:
“If you can see it and the rest of the world can see it, I'm not sure he can because the things that he’s going to need to do to make the move necessary to compete, he's probably not going to want to spin.”
[10:02]

The duo discusses the challenges Jones faces, including potential resistance to acknowledging and addressing the team's fundamental issues.

---

Potential Rebuilding Strategies: Overhauling the Core

Sharpe and Johnson debate the necessity of a comprehensive rebuild of the Cowboys, suggesting that piecemeal improvements may no longer suffice.

Chad Johnson likens the situation to renovating a deteriorated house:
“Because Jerry has allowed everything to get so dilapidated, he has no choice. You can't do a bathroom rebuild when your roof is leaking.”
[10:39]

Sharpe adds:
“You’ve got to build around Joe Burrow. They already built around him offensively. Now you have to build the goddamn defense against.”
[40:53]

They stress the importance of addressing both offensive and defensive line issues to create a balanced and competitive team.

---

Player Performances and Future Prospects

The conversation shifts to individual player performances, particularly focusing on quarterback Joe Burrow and the implications of his contract on the team's salary cap.

Chad Johnson discusses the financial constraints:
“Because that means the guy that you selected in the first round, you hit on. The bad news is you gotta pay him.”
[41:24]

Sharpe defends Burrow's position:
“Any team that has a good defense, I guarantee they already have a quarterback. Think about it.”
[40:28]

They explore how securing top talent like Burrow can be both a boon and a financial strain for the team.

---

Conclusion: The Road Ahead for the Cowboys

Sharpe and Johnson wrap up the episode by contemplating the future trajectory of the Dallas Cowboys. They underscore the urgency for significant changes in management, player acquisitions, and overall team strategy to return the franchise to its winning ways.

Chad Johnson concludes with a dose of realism:
“It's time for a complete rebuild. Otherwise, you’re just chasing ghosts.”
[31:54]

Shannon Sharpe agrees, highlighting the fans' growing frustration:
“The Cowboy fans, they probably can see it clear as day.”
[10:22]

They collectively emphasize that without decisive action from the top, the Cowboys may continue to struggle in the highly competitive NFL landscape.

I predicted the final score would be 30, 27, 13. Right. They got seven more points. Dallas got three fewer points. But anytime you allow Cooper Rush to throw the ball 55 times.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

You get exactly you deserve. You earn what you get. Yes, sir, an ass whipping.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

That's what the Cowboys got. That's what they earned. Ain't no way in hell Cooper Rush supposed to throw the ball 55 times.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, so. So you. You. The fact that they don't have a running game. How did you expect them to be able to move the ball up and down the field?

[Chad Johnson]

You don't clearly ain't got a passing game either. They scored. They throw five to 55 times. They got 10 points. The offensive line is terrible. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I watch Zack Martin. If Zack Martin is going to the hall of Fame on the first battle.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

I watch him get beat with a swim move. Three consecutive plays. Yeah. One for a sack. He got rid of the ball and the next play. Boom. Three consecutive plays. Barnett was wearing the guy with the witness swim.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. He not the same.

[Chad Johnson]

Who's the other. Who's the other guy? Danielle Hunter.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

Danielle Hunter was doing. We like he's on the dance floor. He hit him with the swim one move. He hit him with the rip. Then he turned his back and spin. He doing what he like, man. I'm just. I'm just clowning. And Michael looking on the sideline. He looking at the jumbo trying thinking to himself. And I know exactly what he's thinking. Damn, I wish I could rush against these sorry mo foes. I have me about 8 sacks in a game. Yeah, he would. Yeah, but they're bad. The offensive line is bad. The defensive line isn't any good. Jerry didn't address the issue as far as being able to stop the run. They want to play for a lead from. With a lead. But Ocho, what happens when you don't get a lead? It's the same thing. It's the same thing if you can't get the lead and a team can just run bludgeon you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Now what do you got? You got a bunch of undersized guys that can't stand up against the rush. Mixing 20 rushes, 109 yards, three touchdowns. They had to ran 25 times for a buck 41. Mixing had all three tubs. C.J. 23 of 34, 257. No touchdowns, one interceptions. Offensive line did a great job. Only gave up one sack. While the Texans defense got after Cooper. Rush sacked him five times. They should have picked him off another two or three times. I mean, the ball hit the guy right in the chest. Ocho Stingley had one drop. Yeah, I think it's Harrison. He had one, dropped it. But the Cowboys look at this point in time. Oo I'll just play. I would just play Trey Lance. So. Because what are you hoping for? Just go try to get the worst pick you could possibly pick. It's time to rebuild. Your offensive line is trash from. From left to right. Right is all of them, except, I mean, Smith. You could work with Smith. I think it's Ty Smith. Yeah, you can work with him. But the rest of them, listen, it's, it's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's always been time to rebuild for them, obviously for. For Dak's sake and before Dak is able to come back. There's only so much the Cowboys can do. There's only so much Jerry Jones can do as far as rebuilding is concerned. You can't build every, every goddamn aspect of your team. You can only do so much in offensive line. You can only do so much on the defensive line to be able to get pieces in there that can, that can, that can be adequate, that can hold up where you can compete at the level you need to compete at, you know, to compete for a championship or you are.

[Chad Johnson]

You.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So say Jerry Jones is a little bit stubborn. I think he doesn't know. Maybe, maybe you can see it. If you can see it and the rest of the world can see it, I'm not sure he can because the things that he going to need to do to make the move necessary to compete, he's probably not going to want to spin. So I think that's going to be a problem. It's going to be kind of a. Kind of a pull and tug for him and, and thinking he knows what he needs to do to be able to compete and win when he doesn't even know. Wait, hold on. When people. How do you say it the right way where he says, I'm the gm, I'm the one that knows what needs to be done?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. He says nobody can do a better job. He said no one can do a better job than him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The team that he has assembled, he feels is adequate enough to be able to compete. So he's not going to listen. You can see it clear as day. I can see it clear as day. The Cowboy fans, they probably can see.

[Chad Johnson]

It clear as they, they finally starting to see it. If they haven't seen it, I don't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Think he's not going to make any moves. And then I hear all the speculation, but I don't want to jump into that part yet because I'm sure we're going to talk about that, but go ahead. They have a long way to go. They have a long way to go, Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

But you're saying a complete rebuild. Normally when people redo their house, they do the kitchen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And they say they do it taking a step. Yeah, they do the kitchen, then they'll do the bathroom. They'll do the den. They might do the lawn, might do the roof. They don't. Everybody, everybody don't do a complete restoration at once.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, I see what you talking about.

[Chad Johnson]

But because Jerry has allowed everything to get so dilapidated, he has no choice, you can't do, you cannot do a bathroom rebuild when your roof leaking. You can't do. You can't do a roof restoration when you, when your house infested with rats.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

That's what Jerry has allowed to happen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

He has a run down dilapidated building, both literally and figuratively because you saw family dropping from the ceilings yeah, yeah. From the ceiling. So that's what has happened. Because you can't tell him nothing. It's hard to tell a man something that's worth that amount of money. See, and a lot of times you have yes men around you because they tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to know. Nobody is telling. Jerry. Jerry, actually. Honestly, dad. Honestly, Jerry, you doing a hair. You're doing a terrible job.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't nobody gonna say that.

[Chad Johnson]

Ain't nobody go. Exactly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, you can't. That's why you get your water cut off. You get your water cut off. You can't.

[Chad Johnson]

You can't say right that. What do you say? Nobody has told. Nobody has told him. Remember we talking about the tours that come through when the players are there? He said, nobody ever told me that it was a problem. Yeah, like somebody go tell you, jerry, what the hell are you doing right here's a problem. Of course not. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Acting like. Especially during football season, you acting like it's a goddamn museum.

[Chad Johnson]

It is. That's. That's how he treats it. But I don't know. They haven't won a game at home and the game that. In the game that they're. They're. They're. They're losing. They lost the last six home games 34 to 24 to 6, 47 to 9. The closest they came to winning was. Was the Ravens. And the Ravens had them down really bad, but they fought back. They lost 28, 25. They lost 44, 19, 48, 32. And then lastly, they've trailed by at least 20 points in all six games in NFL record. Yeah, and Jerry claimed. But he. He all in.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I. I don't. I don't. I don't think he understands what all in mean. I think he meant. He meant all in as far as the two players are concerned that were supposed to get paid and they didn't even. They weren't even all in because they didn't get paid on time to be in goddamn time for practice. They should have a minicamp. They should have been.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, I don't know. What. What do you say, Ocho? Well, I don't know what CD would have got out of practice. He'd have got a good chemistry. I mean, for them, the guys to lead the league in reception. In quarterback. He had reception. Yes, Ocho, this year, you would have never knew that CD had played with that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah. And that.

[Chad Johnson]

That.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That tells. Not only the casual fan, but it tells. It tells Jerry how important all the things that you do the necessary steps that are taken in the off season, how important that is before the season even hits.

[Chad Johnson]

You don't know what you don't know and what you do. You surround yourself with people.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They do.

[Chad Johnson]

Your people are supposed to be like, mirrors, your rear view.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Because sometimes objects are closer than they appear.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Hey, you sound like my grandma.

[Chad Johnson]

But Jerry can't see that. Jerry can't see the forest for the trees and. Because he wants to be the smartest guy in the room, and he's not. He's not. He's not. Jerry doesn't know front. Jerry doesn't know coverages. Jerry doesn't know formations. He doesn't know protections. He doesn't. And it's okay. But it's the pretending like he does. That's. That's what irks me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

If you don't know, like Clark Hunt doesn't know. Virginia McCaskey, she doesn't know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

Steve Machadi, he doesn't know. Owners don't know that. Jerry doesn't know it either. But he pretends. And he liked. He tried to fool the fans. Well, nobody could do that, Jerry. You don't know, bro. And it's okay. I don't know everything that I need to know, but I like to think I've surrounded myself with enough good people that do know that can help Shannon in areas where he's weak.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. Guide you in the right direction.

[Chad Johnson]

In the Bible, the old man used to pray in the church. Ocho. They say, God, strengthen me where I'm weak, build me up where I'm torn down. You see what. You see what I'm saying? I'm weak in the area. I need you to strengthen me there. And if I'm up here, bring me down. Hold on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Stop right there. Hold on.

[Chad Johnson]

Hold on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, boy, that was a good one right there, bro.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, think about them. Guys have lost 34 to 10, 34 to 6, 47 to 9, 28, 25 was the closest they came to having a victory home. They lost 44, 19, and they lost 48 to 32. Look at the numbers that they're giving up that deep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on, God, strengthen me now. That.

[Chad Johnson]

That's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good one.

[Chad Johnson]

Now strengthen me where I'm weak. See, that's what j. Build me up where I'm torn down. But I'm gonna let you. I'm gonna let. I'm gonna let Jerry. But you know what? I think the fans are starting to see Jerry full of car. Car. Jerry doesn't know nearly as much as he says he does, it is not. It's not the fact of if you know what people can understand if you don't know something, it's the pretending. Yeah. And then allow people to see Jerry know what the hell he was talking about. Yeah, he don't. Oh, sure. Did you Hear those scores? 30, 14, 34 to 6, 47, 9, 28, 25, 4. Let me look at all these. 44, all these 40s, 48, 44, 47. And you remember the Lions. The Lions running back showing a phase to a tackle.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, running a flea flicker to attack.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Play just the Lions.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Was they just making up stuff.

[Chad Johnson]

They.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They doing backyards football. Well, hell, you know the funny thing, we'll get it like, you know, we'll give them a pass on the line. Because the line doing everybody like that. They just hung 52. They just hung 52 on the goddamn Jags.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, Joe. Hey, hey, they could have hung for. If they wouldn't have called all them down punitive. They'd hung for 50. 50 on the. On the Cowboy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, that's the situation, Ocho. You know when you play a little league football and you blowing somebody out and they're like, hey, coach, can I get there come off his line. They put in the big fat ass in there running back. You be. You blowing the doors off somebody. They got a Lyman in there. He got number 73 on there. And you handed. Hit him the ball right. And he gonna run a touchdown. That's what the Lions were doing to the Cowboys. Yeah. In that defense, y'all ain't got no. Do you got any pride? Do you got any pride?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Got you got. If anything, if you don't play for the star on the helmet, at least pay for the. For the last name on the back.

[Chad Johnson]

Name on the back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The last name on the back of the jersey. I cannot have walking away.

[Chad Johnson]

That's what I see.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. On camera. On camera. That name and that number. I need mine to always stick out. I don't care how the situation is around us.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How bad it is. But when they turn on that film, there's one thing that gonna pop out. I'm just. I mean, if I was a cow, I'm just Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

And it might have got out of hand. They call that Nico Collins play back. The first play of the game. How you give up 80 plus yards on the first play of the game, Ocho?

[Shannon Sharpe]

First play.

[Chad Johnson]

The first play.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, can you help me understand something? How the referee saying it's a lineman, too. Wait, how you say it?

[Chad Johnson]

Lineman too far down, ineligible man downfield.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What is the lineman doing? Do they not know they have to stay behind the line of scrimmage and not go forward?

[Chad Johnson]

I think he can be one. I think he can be what, one to two yards down the field? He wasn't that far down the damn field. But you saw later in the game, how many passing offense did they call in Dallas favorite trying to make it a ball game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Dallas too good to even benefit from penalty, right? I don't know why y'all calling. Y'all just wasted time. Y'all just drawing out the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you're right.

[Chad Johnson]

If. Hey, I mean, if I call the Cowboys game, I beat my penalty. I done called and got me some General Jones chicken and some Moo Boo guy pants ordered, y'all. Y'all have been back. My Chinese. My Chinese bill get cold. Yeah, help y'all. I already know. Y'all know some bulldog. As a matter of fact, I would tell my wife to sold my flag in my pants. I can't pull it out, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's bad. It's bad over there.

[Chad Johnson]

It is terrible.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's bad. So how do you think, outside of. Outside of having to revamp the offensive line, the defensive line, and getting a little. Some. Some. Some bigger hogs, you know, for. For the lack of better terms up front. You got.

[Chad Johnson]

You got a draft.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Got Dak in the draft. You're not finding nobody in the draft, huh?

[Chad Johnson]

But. But you don't have a choice, Ocho. Just like they found Zach Martin, just like they found Tyron Smith. Once they have. What was the guy? Travis. What would they got to center Travis? Frederick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Once trapped, Travis Frederick was the anchor they drafted. I mean, they went consecutive years where they drafted all pros, right? And what happened was Frederick had an injury that he left early than what he should have, right? And they let Tyron Smith injury pile up. They didn't have an adequate replacement, Zach Martin. So guess what happened. Everybody gets old and starts to deteriorate, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

At the same time, right? Not what you got, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You ain't got nothing, huh? You ain't got. You ain't got nothing. Zach Martin is not the same. And everybody else in general is. Is bare minimum at best. And I. I hate. Yeah, I hate saying that. I hate saying it. You know, these are NFL players. These are the best of the best. But to compete at the level that they need to. Again, to compete at the level that they need to week in and Week out. It's bare minimum.

[Chad Johnson]

No, it's not even. Not even close, Ojo. And, and, and that's what, that's what happens if you wait until your car is on his last legs. It's too late, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Chad Johnson]

That's why. That's why you supposed to get it serviced all the time. That's why you supposed to check.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

But they were such great players and I get it. But even if you have to draft their replacement and play them at other positions until they're ready to move on, now you got your left tackle and waiting. Now you got your right guard in waiting. Now you're going to have to develop these guys on the fly. And the likelihood of you getting. I mean, look, think about how long it was they had Larry Allen. Think about how long it took him to get from Larry Allen leaving until they got Zack Martin.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but that's a long time, boy.

[Chad Johnson]

Or when they had Hotel Adam Flozel. Now, Flo wasn't what Tyrone Tyron Smith is. Tyron Smith is a future hall of Famer. But he let the roster get. He let the offensive roster go down too much and defensively, because you know why? Because he was too busy blaming coaches. He let the fans talk him and say it's the coach's fault. It was Mike Nolan's fault. It was Monty Kiffin's fault.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Chad Johnson]

It was Chris Richard's fault. It was always someone else's fault. Than what? The player? Because see, I can't blame the player because I picked those. See, if I say it's the players that's going to reflect negatively on me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Chad Johnson]

See, I can change the coach and like, oh yeah, hey, it was time for him to move on. But if I say that is the direct tie to me, right? And what's the other Martin? What? Rod Marinelli, the coaching Dallas? Yeah, they played everybody, Ocho. They blamed everybody. They don't ran out of people to blame now guess what, Jared? Jared fired everybody.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Chad Johnson]

They don't blame everybody. Now he's the last man and then nothing has changed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So who's the problem? Who's a common denominator?

MasterCard is accepted according to Adam S chapter bill Belichick seen as a likely to among Jerry Jones top head coach options Shepton said lots of speculation swirling about the Cowboys what the Cowboys would do. People have even thought about Coach Belichick having been spotted in Dallas last week. It can be confirmed that Bill Belichick was in Dallas last week, but it was the it wasn't to meet with the Cowboys. It was for a previous speaking engagement. Still, that doesn't stop the idea that there are people across the league who continue to believe that Coach Belichick will be one of the top considerations for Jerry Jones after the season. Bill was not pleased with Dallas effort tonight against Joe Mixon. Go tackle him. You wear pants for a reason. Go tackle him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I I, I, I don't see it. I don't, I don't see it. If you understand for those that are in the chat, if you understand how Bill is, if you understand how he runs your ship, how he runs his ship, one of the main things that he that he talks about is not talking, no bullets and board material, keeping quiet. And to have an owner like Jerry Jones at the front and center of everything, I think maybe he would like it. In a sense, the fact that it takes away from him having to talk and be in front of the camera and in front of the media, he takes that spotlight. I think it's something that Bill might not like, but I think it gives too much balance board material to the other team and unnecessary pressure on the players as well.

[Chad Johnson]

But what happens when Coach Belichick comes in and say, this roster is not good enough to compete, Everybody on that roster is there at the behest of Jerry? How is that going to make Jerry look when he said, nobody can do a better job selecting these players than me? And Coach Belichick comes in there and says we're not good enough?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I mean, listen, that's a conversation that would be had way beforehand. I'm not sure if, if, if even, you know, Bill was able to even think about taking the. Taking the job in Dallas. I mean, he would understand, obviously, I don't have a goddamn roster to be able to compete. And he would probably tell Jerry, you know, Norton, Bill, who was a very, very honest. If you're able to talk to him one on one man, Jerry, you. You lying. Not not only to yourself, you lying to the fans.

[Chad Johnson]

Chad, you got some fuzz on your neck, bro.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I do.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. You got it?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I got it. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

No, you didn't. Yeah, go ahead.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's gone.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Okay. I appreciate that. Appreciate. But you're a good dude because you could just have me up here all fuzzy the whole show. I appreciate that. Yeah. Hey, but, hey, you know, no, knowing Bill, knowing Bill, man, he'll tell Jerry right away, listen, I can't do nothing with this. I can't do nothing with this. Don't. Don't give me scraps. And I'm not. I don't mean to be disrespectful to the player. Don't give me scraps and tell me to make a goddamn. Make a goddamn gourmet meal. I'm not gonna be able to do it right. It's not gonna work.

[Chad Johnson]

It's just hard. And I know people have said that Coach Belichick says he doesn't need control, but it's hard when you've had control for two plus decades to all of a sudden says, you know what? I answered to a GM or I got a pro personnel director and I got an answer to the owner. When you've never had. You had a direct line of communication straight to the owner. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's just hard for me to believe, to see a scenario that he can just give up that kind of autonomy when he's had it for such a long time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He would have to. He would have to understanding the way Bill runs his ship. And I don't need you in my way. I don't need you in my way. And doing what it takes to Bill, a contender. I know what it takes. You've done it before. You have support rings. I have some bull rings. I think. I think if I'm not mistaken, Bill has two. More than two more than the Cowboys, right?

[Chad Johnson]

He has. He has six, the Cowboys have five.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

But he has two as a defensive coordinator. So he has eight total.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Chad Johnson]

He won two with the Giants. He was the D coordinator.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen, if at that point Jerry should, you know what I give you the reins.

[Chad Johnson]

If.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm just saying, hypothetically speaking, if it's, if it's ever to happen. Jerry had to take a seat. He got to take a seat. He got to take a backseat. Let Bill does what he's already done. He's already done. He knows what it takes in this time, in this era. He knows what the roster needs to look like. He knows what pieces need to do when it comes draft. When it comes draft time. Nobody does it better than Bill when it comes to breaking down film and understanding what type of players I need to build a goddamn team where Jerry relinquished that power.

[Chad Johnson]

Jerry like names. Bill like guys that fit a particular scheme. He like smart players. He like players that fit. A safety that'll be a certain size, a linebacker to be a certain size, defensive lineman to be a certain size. It's hard. Everybody can't play D line in the scheme because his D line is to eat up players.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

And let the linebacker free flow and go make plays. That's how, that's how he operates. He is. He's a two gap guy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

He doesn't want you to run the football. Everybody has a responsibility. Do your responsibility and I think, think this is work. I'm going to put you in the right situation for you to do your job right. But it's going to be very interesting to see what the Cowboys do for the rest of the season. Ocho. A piece of metal falls from the stadium shortly after opening the roof and nearly lands on people while the roof was being open for the first time since 2022. It was then closed after the incident.

[Shannon Sharpe]

See, you talk about spirit Airlines and AT&T Stadium fallen park, but you got hold on.

[Chad Johnson]

That stadium opened up in what, 2009, 2010. So I mean, theoretically, Ocho is kind of outdated if you look at it. Oh, man. If you looking at it, Ocho, man, these teams flipping these stadiums around, man, look at the Georgia Dome. Have you seen the Georgia Dome?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Have you seen.

[Chad Johnson]

So far they got Mercedes Benz, right? Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You seen Sofi?

[Chad Johnson]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, my God.

[Chad Johnson]

So far, look. And they have a lot of events at Jerry's World because that's the way the building pays for itself, is that, you know, how many events can you have there? How many truck pools and concerts and other football games and basketball games? How many other events other than NFL football games can you have at a venue? So far, it's like, look, we gonna have the opening ceremonies. We gonna have. I think they got the World Cup.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

They got so many. They got so many events that's gonna be held in sofa and that's what. And you got to get the latest and greatest y. You got to put the sweets because that's where you make the lion share of your money. Because people are paying 500,000, a million dollars, $2 million every year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You want to get, you want to get a sweet?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, yeah. And you got to pay for the food that's going in there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

So you don't. The sweet is one thing you got to pay. And that stuff ain't cheap.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah.

[Chad Johnson]

Hell, I think we paying 12 for a can of beer. When Ray and I had a sweet on the 50 yard line, I mean, we had, we had. We had a great deal. I mean, we had a great deal. I mean, ain't too many players have a suite on the 50 yard line, but that's what our sweet Ray and our suite was right next to Mr. Mode. Well, all right. Can't call him mister, rest his soul. He wrote. He rolling over, talking about what I tell you about calling me Mr. Modeo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, that's very expensive. But as you see, I think the Bronx, I mean, mile high. It was Safeco, Invesco. It's nice. I don't know what it is. The stadium at mile High, right? They're looking to do a new stadium. You see, Kansas City is about to do upgrades. Soldier Field, they're about to move out a little further. They're about to build a new stadium. That's just the way it is, Ocho. It's just state of the. You gotta go state of the art because you gotta have more things than just NFL football played in that building. And you gotta have luxury suites. You gotta have all these bells and whistles. You need to have five star, Michelin star chefs preparing the food and things of that nature. Yeah, it's a. It's a different ballgame now. I mean, going to. It used to be you go to the ball game, Ocho, to watch the game. Now you go to these. It's an experience.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. Most definitely. Most definitely.

[Chad Johnson]

It's an experience. They got fanfare. They got all the glitz and glam. They got people juggling and they got women dancing and they got concerts before, they got concerts after. It is an experience. Not going to an into a sporting event.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, that's, that's what.

[Chad Johnson]

That's, that's, that's, that's, that's all we need is some good food. Oh, Joe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

The December 9th Monday Night Football matchup between the Bengals and the Cowboys look very appealing. When the schedule was released months ago before the season kicked off, networks like ESPN can work with the league to flex games out of a time slot and replace it with more exciting ones. But today it was revealed the game can't be flexed out for a truly hilarious and unexpected reason. The Simpson. For those asking, the Bengals Monday Night Football game is not eligible to be flexed out because of all the drawings, voiceover and other works that had been done for the Simpsons alternate cast that will air that night. Who would have guessed it? Homer Simpson would be a reason millions of you going to be subjected to a subpar, subpar football game instead of one week. Oh, yeah, it don't matter.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Actually, honestly, this wouldn't be a subpar football game. Offensively. Offensively, the Bengals are exciting and entertaining to watch.

[Chad Johnson]

So they just play offensive football now. They just don't play defense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You see, they see you ain't had to go there. You ain't had to go there. Now I'm telling you realize like the.

[Chad Johnson]

Bengals defense and the Cowboys defense going to have the couple now the Cowboys offense might even look competent against y'all.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Don't do that. Don't do that. No, I'm just saying.

[Chad Johnson]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, no. Don't. Don't do that. Don't do that. But again, listen, our offense is one of the most entertaining offenses that you will tune in to see. Regardless of what our record is. They are excited to watch. T is back Jermaine Burton playing well, Chase's goddamn Chase and I. I just as bad as our record is, we're the best. We're the best 4 and 7 team in NFL. I don't even know if that even fucking makes sense. We are the best four and seven. Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

If you, if you win, if you, if you get first prize in the ugly contest, you still ugly. What the hell are you talking about?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't, I don't, I don't like. I don't like y'all.

[Chad Johnson]

Got. Y'all got a guy that's gonna throw for 5,000 yards. Y'all got a guy that might win the Triple Crown, right? You still four and seven.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I know. That's why. I just. See? See, that's why I said we the best. 4 and 17. It's ugly.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, it's ugly. It's ugly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's.

[Chad Johnson]

That's like. That's like being the little. Biggest little person in the circus. You still in the circus. You getting your ass out of a little car. Fifteen of you. What the hell? What the hell are you talking about?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm trying to find the good in this situation. You just making it.

[Chad Johnson]

You can't find no good. Your deep, as good as your offense is, your defense is equally as bad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They gave us a chance that second half. Now, I'm not sure where that came from, but that second half, they gave us a chance.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes, but see, like you said, we needed that. We needed those stops in the second in the first half so we could get our footing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, we got to start fast, man. But hey, we. We go, we'll talk about that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Joe Burrow is on pace to finish the season as an early vacation, despite leading the NFL in passing yards and passing. Touchdown. Joe Burrow is projected to finish with 404,680 yards, 42 touchdowns and six interceptions, which should potentially win in the MVP. Yeah, but guess what? He ain't going to get no votes. But instead, he has a sub.500 record and his team is a joke. Through the first 11 games, the Bengals are 4 and 7. Joe has 3,200, 3,028 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and four interceptions. Players to achieve 3,000 passing yards, 27 plus touchdowns in a five or fewer interceptions through 11 games. Tom Brady in 27, 2007, 2015. One season, he was 16 to 0. The other season, he was 13 and 3. Aaron Rodgers in 2020. In 2011. 2021. In 2020. Excuse me. He was 15 and 1. 13 and 3.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Patrick Mahomes in 2020, he was 14 and 2. Drew Brees, 2018, he was 13 and 3. You, you, you, you, you, you. See, I think Brady won MVP in both of those seasons, didn't he? Aaron Rodgers. I think Aaron Rodgers won the MVP in both of those seasons. I think Patrick Mahomes won the MVP.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So because he's 4 and 7, regardless of what the numbers. Numbers are, there's no way you win. Well, obviously. Jared Goff, Jerry. Jared Goff and Josh well, you got.

[Chad Johnson]

Jared Goff playing well enough to win it. You got, in Buffalo, Josh Allen playing well enough. Yeah. You got Saquon Barkley. So how do you give it to a guy? Because at the end of the day, he putting up all those stats in a losing effort.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, you know, I mean, yeah, if he would. If he was winning. Ojo. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's different.

[Chad Johnson]

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, I ain't saying he needed to be 10 and 1, but let's just say for the sake of argument, he's 73 and 1 or he's 8 and 3. Now we got a whole different discussion with those types of numbers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Different conversation. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

But. Yeah, he's having. He's having a heck of a season. He's a heck of a player. He's the number one overall pick for a reason. He got two outstanding receivers, his defense, and he has to put up those type numbers because his defense is bad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Ocho, people want to know, is Joe Burrow being wasted in Cincinnati?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ooh, that's a good question.

[Chad Johnson]

That's a good question.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say it's being wasted in Cincinnati. Think about it. Hypothetically speaking. Obviously, Joe's going to be there for a decade, a decade plus or more. Where else can he go? Where else would he go where it wouldn't be wasted? Because all the other opportunities and other chances for him to be on a team that is good, that had the chance to win a Super bowl already have quarterbacks. Huh? Think about it. Even if you throw it a hypothetical, what situation be better than what he's in right now with the offense that he has, even though the defense is bad, Any team that has a good defense, I guarantee they already have a quarterback. Think about it.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, for sure. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I mean. I mean, I understand what people are saying and saying, you know, it's being wasted, but there's a reason he's a quarterback. So the point of what they have to do is every team is a quarterback away from winning a Super bowl or being able to contend. So the Bengals are in a position to contend year in and year out because of who they have at the helm at quarterback. Now, what you have to do is you got to build around him. They already built around him offensively. Now you got to build the goddamn defense against.

[Chad Johnson]

Well, it's gonna cut. Well, it's gonna hurt you because you got a quarterback on max money. Yeah. A receiver that's not gonna give you a discount because you Jerked him around. So what you could have got him for, say, 145 million is gonna probably cost you 155, 160, and he's gonna want 90 million in guaranteed money.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

So that's the problem that you run into when you kick the can down the road. It's a great thing to have because that means the guy that you selected in the first round, you hit on. The bad news is you gotta pay him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. You're probably gonna think about it. Oo. You're probably gonna lose Hendrickson. Remember, he wanted more money. You lose him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. He leading NFL in sacks right now, too.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. You're gonna lose him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. And you got. You got. You need a detachle. You need a detach.

[Chad Johnson]

Well, you let Rita go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

So you can. Y'all got your work cut out for your big time kicker. Evan McPherson has basically tossed the Bengals three to four wins and lost to KC. 26, 25. He mixed your extra point, lost to Washington. He missed A field goal 38, 33, lost to Baltimore. Missed a field goal 41, 38, lost to the Chargers. He missed two field goals. 34, 27.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, same thing with Justin Tucker. You know, I think we can go down to a list. Numerous games that have happened throughout the season where. I hate saying it, where it shouldn't come down to the kicker, but it actually comes down to the kicker's foot. It actually comes down to him being. Damn, what's the word I'm looking for for kickers, him being accurate, you know, for the lack of better terms. And listen, that's a very, very, very tough spot to be in where you can't miss field goals. The goalposts a lot more. A lot. A lot narrower now. No, being. Being able to. Being able to hit them. You know, I heard Justin Tucker, you know, complain about. About the surface. And listen, it had nothing to do with that. It all.

[Chad Johnson]

Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Let me ask you a question.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

What if I put Joe. What if I put Joe Burr in Minnesota with that defense?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, my God.

[Chad Johnson]

Well, you might still got jj. He got Addison, he got Hawkinson.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good hypothetical. But they got J.J. mcCarthy, so as a hypothetical speaking on it, you might as well give him the goddamn trophy. I'm just saying, with that defense and what Brian Flores doing with them, man.

[Chad Johnson]

It's now time for money moves presented by DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NFL.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Give me my money. Give me my money.

[Chad Johnson]

Josh Allen has officially overtaken lamar as the MVP front runner, Josh Allen is now a plus 150. Lamar Jackson is a plus 200. Jared Goff is a plus 600. Jalen Hurts is fourth with plus 1200. Patrick Mahomes is plus 1300, and Kyler Murray is plus 1500. In the regular season, Josh Allen has passed for 2,543 yards. Eight, which is seventh. Eighteen touchdowns, which is sixth. Five interceptions. He's tied for fifth. I mean, he's tied for 57th, which is a good thing. And his QBR of 72.6 puts him in fourth. Lamar, he's second in passing yards, 2,876. He's second in touchdowns, 25. He's tied for 47 with three interceptions. He's number two in QBR with 75.1.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, you know, you know what's funny? Everything just ran it down with golf, probably golf, and Josh Allen obviously being the back, back and forth. It's going to change because Lamar. Lamar is not going to play another bad game like he did against, against the Steelers. He going to come out and he's going to be the front runner again and then go out and he's going to put on an unbelievable performance. I'm not sure who. I'm not sure what their schedule is or who they're playing next, but the other teams aren't used to them. It's not a divisional game. It's not going to be a divisional game. They're not going to have the structured defense to be able to contain him the way the Steelers do. The Steelers are built to be able to stop a player like himself because they're used to seeing him and understanding that team's tendencies offensively. So he gonna come out, he gonna have one hell of a day, do some crazy stuff on the ground, do some crazy stuff in the air, and he's gonna be back at the number one spot to an mvp, I guarantee you.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I mean, look, look, I mean, he has another game against the Steelers. Steelers have given them problems where. What's Lamar. He has a pretty tough game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

One and four. One and four against the Steelers. Yeah, one and four.

[Chad Johnson]

He has another game. But this game is at home against the Steelers, right? Who do they have? They got the Steelers. I think they got another game against Cleveland at Chargers this week. He's at the Chargers this week. Eagles at home, at Giants, home versus the Steelers at Texans, home versus the Brown. So it ain't like he got some cupcakes on the schedule. Now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't no. Ain't no Cupcakes. But again, every, every team you just named don't have the personnel like the Steelers dude to be able to stop what he's able to do and what he does.

[Chad Johnson]

Well, what about the personnel going up against his defense? What about the Eagles offense against that defense? What about the Texans offense against that defense? You see.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, you. Hey. Can I tell you something? I don't know people. You do know your Raven team is dead last in the secondary when it comes against pass Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

I've been trying Ocho 37. See, when I tell people that, they say, well, you trying to. You trying. No, I'm. If you just see that when people tell me, oh, that you could tell Shannon didn't watch the game, you watching it, but you don't know what the hell you looking for. You like a blind dog in a meat house, right? You can't tell me fronts, you can't tell me coverages, you can't tell me formations, you can't tell me anything, right? All you watching for is touchdowns inside, right? I'm watching to understand why they have success. So why you tell me? I'm not watching it. You watching it. But you don't know. You look at. Okay, it's like you watching a foreign film and they got sub. Unless they give you subtitles, you don't know what the hell you looking at. I've been telling them, but they gave me excuse. Wait till this guy comes back. Wait till that guy comes back. Well, I saw you guys in there when you had those guys and your defense was still bad in pass defense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And much better, much, much better stopping the run that, that, that, that second.

[Chad Johnson]

At some point in time, fans will have to understand everybody is not a hater. Sometimes people are just trying to give you information. Our job is sometimes to be. Is to be entertaining, is to be informative, to be educational. Okay, yes, I say a lot of things in a joking manner, right? But I'm actually giving you factual information. If you just listen to it. But you don't want to because you want to paint this narrative that, oh, Shannon is a hater. But listen, what Shannon said, when it comes back, what I tell you, then you talk about, oh, oh, I could have Captain Obvious. Well, you didn't say it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

But people don't just don't want to get no credit. Boy, people don't want to get no credit because if I didn't, if I didn't say it. Why didn't you say that before I said it? Well, I knew that. No, you didn't because I take you to the black. I take you to the board and say, I'll draw me a cover six, Draw me cover seven. Give me fire zone. Okay. Give me this formation, give me this protection. I want you to redirect. What you mean by that? No. You know, if you watching the games, you should know, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't. I don't think the casual. The casual fan can't do that.

[Chad Johnson]

Hell no, they can't. But they just want to jump on your timeline and try to. And try to. Well, he ain't watching the game, right? I am watching the game. I also know that when you throw the ball more than you running ever Raven, you lose. That's what I do know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I mean, it's right. The stats are right there.

[Chad Johnson]

I the one that said put Derrick Henry in the eye.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Ain't nobody else say that. I said it from the drum. Oh, Joe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

I say he's not his own read back because he's a long strider and you don't get uni. He needs time to be able to redirect. When you put him that close to the line, he's such a long strider, he can't redirect his feet. Barry Sanders, a short strider can do. He perfect. That's perfect for him. But Derrick Henry needs to be able to change direction. He needs to be able to check his feet and cut back, get back downhill. That's why you put his heels at 8. You toss it to him, you hand it to him, and boom. Now, whoever drew up that damn play that they tossed that ball today, Henry, and they let TJ Watt come in there and blow his ass up, they should have put him back there running back and let the same thing happen. Don't block TJ Watt and let TJ Watt. TJ Watt knock his ass.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, attack. The tackle should have known better. The right tackle should have known better. I'm not sure what the blocking assignment was, but why would you let TJ Watt run scott free with the pitch? Even though the pitch is going the opposite way, still he coming every time and he gonna get there every time. Yes.

[Chad Johnson]

I just like. I'm like, who. Who thought that was a good idea? Hey, we're gonna run this toss play week, but we gonna unblock T.J. watt, okay? And you see what happened. Damn, they got Digger. And I'm like. That's why I stopped playing running back, because I got tired of my bad shot. Well, it ain't your bad. I'm way down the Damn field. I. I ain't got to worry about my bad. I ain't got to worry about my bad. Ocho, I got tired of you, man. My bad. That's me. That's old me, bro. Dude got me looking at my ear hole. But you talking about your band. What that do?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, the crowd is speaking of that. Think about how bad it is for quarterbacks when the old line is playing bad. When they can't block and the quarterback continues to get sacked over and over and over and you can't fuss at them. Then you have to keep your. Your mannerisms and your facial expressions has to be on point no matter how many times you get hit in the game. Imagine.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes, I want to. Oh, Joe, let me ask you a question. When the Cowboys fell behind right by 10, 13 points with no threat of the running game, what you think the Texans thinking they ain't playing for no draw. Yeah, they're not playing for no run. They pinning their ears back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely you.

[Chad Johnson]

Everybody in the stadium know you not gonna run it. And now you made it very. It's very. I don't care who your offensive linemen are. You let them jokers know that every single down you gonna throw. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Make no sense.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay. They gonna come. They gonna come get your quarterback. Congratulations to Easter Seals Southern California on their first place win for innovation in.

Daniel Jones was demoted to third string quarterback. Messed up with the 2 and 8 giants on their bye week. This was a logical time to change and give back up Danny DeVito who was chosen over number two quarterback Drew Lock to prepare Ocho. If I'm going to lose, I don't want nobody to get anything. Any chance of thinking we going to win this game. Drew Lock go in and try to win this game and try to show he deserve a chance. No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You join Danny. Danny. Danny DeVito. Not that bad.

[Chad Johnson]

Now, man, look here. Danny DeVito. That's exactly right. You got his name right. Danny DeVito.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on.

[Chad Johnson]

How you say his real name? Tommy, you right, Danny, Tommy. Yeah, that's him. Yeah, hold on. He gonna give you, he gonna give you the same results as Danny DeVito.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right. You, you wanna make a little bet? You wanna make, make a little bet? Coming out the back, coming out of the back for the Giants.

[Chad Johnson]

The only thing that sur is this season. Bye. That's the, that's the, that's Tommy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Tommy DeVito. Tommy. Tommy.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, but think about.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm talking about Danny DeVito. I'm tripping.

[Chad Johnson]

Think about this.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

Drew Lock was the second string.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

They promoted the third string. Which tells me we want the high draft pick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Drew Locke could potentially win a game. We ain't finna win with him. Jones benches sing the end of his six year run with the Giants starting quarterback. The Giants went 133 in games started by Jones over the past two seasons. And they ranked last in the league in scoring. His career record is 24, 44 and 1. Hey, give me those stats that you gave me this morning. I will give you. He's 24. He started what, 70 games. He's 24, 44 and 1. God damn, Ocho. They gave this man a contract extension. $40 million. 160 on 60. Now you tell me Ash is pulling up. No, I want his record 2019, 2021 before he got. Yeah, no, I, I, yeah, everybody know, everybody know. He up the Panthers talking about reportedly have, have interest in Daniel Jones.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ah, please. To do what?

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, Joe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

He started 12 games his rookie. He went three and nine. The next season he went five and nine. The next season he went four and seven. He goes nine, six and one and he gets a contract extension. Now see, you see what they did? They disregarded the previous three seasons.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Chad Johnson]

A big sample size for the small sample size. Because we want to justify giving this man this Money.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

You see what they did? You see? Now we go disregard the 3 and 9. We're going to disregard the 5 and 9. We're going to DISREGARD now. He had. He had 11 touchdowns. Okay, what do you have? He had 11 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 10 touchdowns, 7 interceptions. He went 15 and 5. Let's give him a raise.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That, that, that 15 and 5 look good. That 15 and 5, 96 record, they look good. Okay, maybe he's going in the right. In the right direction. After the first three years. Or the first two. No, the first three, he didn't look like he should. Boom. The year where it counts, which we call it a contract, where you want to give a quarterback some money. They saw the improvement, as opposed to the small sample size that they did see. Okay, maybe he's proven out.

[Chad Johnson]

They made Lamar Jackson play under the franchise tag.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

After he won an mvp. But that ain't none of my business. I don't even know why I brought it up. Ocho. Let me keep my mind shut, because first of all, quarterback is the only position that you get paid on. Potential.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

They will let. If Jamar Chase wasn't doing what he was doing, he can't get no money. They can't say, well, you know what I think? Lamar. Lamar, excuse me, Jamar Chase heading in the right direction. Let's give him top number one receiver money. All the guys name a position other than quarterback that you get paid on Potential. I'm not saying Joe Burr. I mean, there are guys that earn that money, but a lot of these quarterbacks get paid on, man. I believe he's turned the corner. They don't ever pay another position believing that he's turned the corner.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, and there's a whole nother conversation, and I don't want to go there, but you did bring it up. You know, it was the elephant in the room you talk about. They made Lamar Jackson play on the. What?

[Chad Johnson]

French outside.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Even after he won the mvp.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But they didn't make Daniel. Joe. Never mind. Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

I ain't breaking no. I don't think I break. Everybody can see it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Ain't nobody will say it.

[Chad Johnson]

Hell, the three blind mind saw it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, damn, that's effed up. But, hey, it. Sir, it couldn't happen to a better organization than the Giants. Sirs. You're right, because you didn't want to play Saquon.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you know, they don't. They don't value the running back position, as they said.

[Chad Johnson]

Philly did not. Look at them. Look at look at Joe Mixon. What he's. Look at what Joe Mixon is doing for the Houston Texas Texans. Derek Henry can do that. When they give him the ball, we see what he does for the Ravens offense. He makes them almost undefendable.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Indefensible. Excuse me, but. Okay. Joy Porter Jr. Sells will call tickets for 400 a piece over the weekend. Talk ball with Joy Porter Jr. He did blackest thing possible, huh? Yeah. No, no, I'm saying this guy did right. Joy Porter family. Joy Porter Jr. Family sells his tickets. Right. Okay. Joy Porter Jr. Family sales tick sales. Will call tickets for 400 a piece over the weekend. Talk ball with Joy Porter's family. They did the blackest thing possible. They sold their world call ticket for 400 a piece. I seen nephew play enough ball. I know what he do. Respect.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Make it a business. Yeah, make it a business. Hey, that was funny.

[Chad Johnson]

Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Johnson]

Would you care if your family sold tickets you left for them at will call?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, probably not. Probably not. I'm leaving tickets for your wheel call that I'm probably getting for free anyway. And if you want to make a little. Make a little sad money on that, you know, I'm. I have no. I have no problem with your hustle. I have no problem with your hustle because that means you ain't gonna be asking me for no money.

[Chad Johnson]

No, I'm trying to think.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you.

[Chad Johnson]

Think, how y'all gonna get in the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And matter of fact, hey, depending on who we playing, they definitely ain't coming. They're showing up.

[Chad Johnson]

But you already know. But, I mean, for the most part, don't show. Like, yeah, if I leave somebody tickets at will call, especially my family, I already know they coming.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Cause first of all, they stayed with me or they stayed at the hotel that I paid for, so I know they bringing their game, right? So I've never really thought about it, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I haven't either. I mean, just for the case, for the scenario you're talking about. I mean, I don't really see any family.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah, as a matter of fact, I did. I got my homeboy. I got bucket tickets to the super bowl, right? And they ended up. I guess they left more than what they should, man. He said, home boy. I sold him ticket. I said, well, what about cute? How you go? How you gonna sell something I gave you, right, man, that financed my trip. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, that's fine.

[Chad Johnson]

No, but you like. I'm like, you watch. I. I ain't crying. Over there. Because you leave them long enough, hell, they'll sell them. Yeah, people pull up and sell them. So you got a certain amount of time to get your ass to the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Or they gonna sell them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, well. The Lakers have commissioned a statue of Pat Riley to join the Laker legend in Star Plaza outside Crip.com Arena. Genie Bus shared plans with Riley today over video alongside Kareem Michael Cooper, Magic Johnson, A.C. green, Kurt Rabbits, James Worthy, Vladi Divoc, Karen west, and Chris Riley. Riley had a defining impact on the Lakers legacy, winning six total championships with the Lakers, four as a head coach, one as an assistant coach in 1980, and one as a player in 1972, the eighth Laker to be commemorated in the Star Plaza. Riley would join Elgin Baylor, Kobe Bryant, Chick Hearn, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and Jerry West.
