Wolf Mobile is Now legit nationwide 5G network so I have to take a break from all the jokes here for just a second and put my serious voice on. Because I would never, ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions in building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to. There's nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provide coverage across 99% of America. Seriously? Visit boostmobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more. Boost Mobile Network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the US population. 5G speed not available in all areas. So the team that the Kansas City Chiefs will face in the super bowl are the Philadelphia Eagles. Time for me to go. Coach Tyreek woke without punctuation. Dolphins fans panic, wondering if he was telling Mike McDaniel if it's time to leave. Miami Tua suffering another concussion heading into week eight. Derrick Henry is on pace to break the record.
Ocho Cinco
Is it Mike McCarthy decided to bench.
Alec Baldwin
Bryce Young less than 24 hours. He didn't concern himself about culture. They punished George Pickens tonight. Bryce Young era temporarily has Been halted. Dave Canales decided to bench Bryce young less than 24 hours after telling everyone he started the red rifle. Andy Dalton is being named the team starter quarterback moving forward this season. Young was reportedly shocked by the benching and told and, and sources told Jordan Schultz. It came out of nowhere. Nah, actually didn't. If you go back and look at your play, look at them say, it ain't come out of nowhere. No one anticipated the plug being. No one anticipated the plug being pulled after just two games with a new coaching staff. But a reminder that the Patriots Panthers, excuse me, traded so much to get him. They traded D.J. moore, 2023 first round pick, which was Darnell Wright, a 2023 second round pick which was Tyreek Stevens. I think he's a starter. 2024 first round pick, overall pick Caleb Williams and a 2025 second round do that.
Ocho Cinco
You don't do that. You don't do nobody like that. For one, I'm gonna start with David Tepper because what David Tepper is doing is insubordination. I don't even know what that mean, but it sounds like it fits for this goddamn scenario.
Alec Baldwin
Well, he can't insubordinate because he's the higher up.
Ocho Cinco
That's the problem. Because now you point the fingers at Bryce Young. Like Bryce Young is the issue. That's not the issue. Yeah, that's not the issue. Look at the quarterbacks before Bryce Young got there. I thought that was the problem. Who was the quarterback before Bryce Young?
Alec Baldwin
Man, they had Sam Darnold, they had Baker.
Ocho Cinco
Baker. Keep going.
Alec Baldwin
I, I don't know who, I don't, I don't really know who came directly after Cam.
Ocho Cinco
That's the hope. That's what I'm trying to say. It's been a revolving door of quarterbacks not having success because they don't have what they need around them to be successful. There was a reason you was able to get Bryce Young. Because he's the number. He was the number one pick for a reason. You were able to have the number one pick for a reason. So now you expect Bryce Young to come in, had a coach, had a different coaching staff. Last year you hired Dave Canelis, right? You bring him in, you let him play two games. He has nothing surrounding him. They help him. But now you're gonna bench him and you're gonna start Andy Dalton. Like that's going to answer problems.
Alec Baldwin
Like Andy Dalton. Go take.
Ocho Cinco
Like that's going to answer the problem. No, fix the shit around him. And then you put him, put him in an environment, and I guarantee you, you'll find success. Oh, Bryce Young is the issue. Then people talk about, oh, he too short. Oh, he can't see. Hello. How tall is Kyle Murray? How tall is Baker Mayfield?
Alec Baldwin
Well, we know. We know he taller than Kyler Murray.
Ocho Cinco
He absolutely is not Bryce Young. Now, what I will say, if you turn the tape on, there will be some discrepancies in his play. Unc. His confidence is shot, man.
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, listen.
Ocho Cinco
And this is no disrespect to any of the receivers that are on the Panthers. No, listen. No disrespect. You know, I love. You know how I feel about you, even if I don't know you personally. But he has. You know what? I ain't gonna say that because I don't want to be disrespectful.
Alec Baldwin
I think the thing is, the question is if. If Andy Dalton is the. Is the answer, I need to know the question.
Ocho Cinco
Hold on.
Alec Baldwin
I'm just gonna keep it. Hey, y'all know what we do? We. I keep it. I keep it.
Ocho Cinco
One problem.
Alec Baldwin
So if he the answer, what's the question?
Ocho Cinco
Listen, I think having a veteran presence, I'm not sure what the Panthers are going to do going forward. Maybe allowing Bryce Young to sit for a year watching, watching the media outlets and some of the pundits, some of the analysts are saying Bryce Young, time and Carolina, but they want everybody to.
Alec Baldwin
Play because everybody think they're going to get C.J. stroud. The problem is, Ocho, is that people forget. Do you realize Patrick Mahomes sat his entire rookie year except one game?
Ocho Cinco
But that's not what they do with rookies. This now, they don't even give the rookies time to develop and learn from the sideline. You get drafted number one, they throwing you to the wolves. They throwing you to the fire. Yeah, you got.
Alec Baldwin
Carson didn't start. Carson didn't start the whole year.
Ocho Cinco
So times have changed. Now, for one, the money that's being invested in these players, you know, we paying you so much, we need you to go out there right now and earn that paycheck. You need to earn what you making now. It's okay if you go to a team that is competent, with weapons around you that you can use at your disposal, that makes your job easier. What Bryce Young has to do is he has to put on his cape and be Superman, which he cannot do because he has nothing to use around him. And I mean.
Alec Baldwin
I mean.
Ocho Cinco
I mean that as respectful as possible.
Alec Baldwin
You traded DJ Moore, somebody that could have gave Him a quality receiver. You traded him. And I like Adam Thielen, but Adam Thielen, I mean, he's not what he wants. He's not that Pro bowl receiver anymore.
Ocho Cinco
He's a decent number two. Look at the receiving core in general. And I mean this in. No, I'm not trying to be disrespectful. You know, we talk about number two. We talk about twos and threes. Like, who can Bryce Young. Stay with me, Nat. Who can Bryce Young, right, in the time of need, life or death situation, he can come to the ball, get up on the center and look at a receiver and say, you know what? Right now on this play, I need you. I need you to win for me. Hella high water. I know you got me, no matter what. Who can he. Who can he do that to? Who can he do that with? DJ Shroud got somebody he can do it with. Patrick Mahomes got somebody to do it with. Joe Burrow got somebody to do it with. Like, you can go down a list of teams that always have one dog.
Alec Baldwin
You just mentioned you gotta have one dog. And the more you have, the better.
Ocho Cinco
You are count on. No matter what. He got me, it's nothing. And then you get he.
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, you got.
Ocho Cinco
He's having a string of bad plays back to back. And all that does to a player's confidence. You already know what it does. He. In the press conference Sunday, they asked him, have you lost your confidence? He said, my confidence is in the Lord. And when he said that, he said something like that. It's shot. Huh? It's shot. I'm Christian. I believe. I believe in the man upstairs, too. In that environment, that. That killer mindset.
Alec Baldwin
The Carolina Panthers fans didn't try to hear that.
Ocho Cinco
Listen, the killer mind. The killer mindset you have to have at the quarterback position.
Alec Baldwin
You can't shake my car.
Ocho Cinco
Confidence is number one. That's number one. Once that's gone, you just to Shelly yourself out there, you will show yourself.
Alec Baldwin
Because I wish more guys realized. Ocho, for me, how you gonna break my confidence coming from where I came from, do you know what it took just for me to get here? Now that I'm here, you'll think something. Oh, you think? Okay. I drop a couple passes, y'all. Boo. Y'all think that's gonna break me? I should have been broke a long time ago. Because there along the way, I'm sure it's been 75, 000 people that doubted me at some point in time, and I might not know them Just like you don't know half them 75000 or the 76, 77,000 or how many people that come to Carolina game. You don't know them. You can't break my car. You can't shake, you can't break my confidence. Because I know first of all you drafted me because clearly you, you like what you saw on tape. I played on a big time program. I won big time games against big time competitions. But don't, don't, don't let a couple of bad plays, don't let somebody pull it. Now look, it's easy for me to say because I've never been benched, Osho. So that's a lot easier for me to say. I try to do, make sure I do everything I possibly could. You know, it's different for a tight end receiver that it is a quarterback. They have a lot more on their plate than what we have on our plate. But now you're not going to break my confidence. You're not going to shake me just cause I have a couple of bad games. Hey, I'm gonna do me. I'm gonna go out there and do me. And it's a lot like I said Ocho. I'm responsible for my play. He's responsible for everybody. When things go good, he's gonna get the credit. When they go bad, he gonna get all the blame.
Ocho Cinco
That's what happened as a rookie. Look at the circumstance he's coming in, he's coming into as a rookie last year. There's a reason he was the number one pick.
Alec Baldwin
Because it damn sure in Alabama, it damn sure in Alabama because when you follow Tua, you follow Mac Jones and you got those receivers that you got. You got Jameson Williams and you got Mechanic and you got those titles, you got those running backs, you got Jabir Gibbs.
Ocho Cinco
You come up, you come up from a winning environment, surrounded by adequate weapons, that makes your job easy. I'm not saying the quote, it's easy. But when you have certain players around you and you have certain weapons at your disposal, you're able to facilitate the ball an efficient way and that's something that he can do. He has to put on the cape and be something that he's not. He can't be Superman. Name one quarterback right now. Chat, listen, Chat, listen to me. Name one quarterback right now that you can put on the Panthers and it would turn the whole franchise around.
Alec Baldwin
Who, who? You ain't got but you. Look, first of all, you ain't got but a handful of guys. You probably Got like three or four guys, Ocho, that could go there. And it raises the level of play that's hard for a rookie because you got to look at when Peyton Manning got the ending. You know what Peyton Manning had? Yeah, Ocho, he had Marvin Harrison. He had, he had Marshall ball. Two guys first battle hall of Famer. Marshall hall thought was an, is an mv, was an MVP and a two time offensive player of the year. And we know what Marvin Harrison is. That's what he have. And they say, you know what we're gonna do? That ain't enough. We're gonna go get the Reggie Wayne. You know what? That ain't enough. We gonna go get Edward James. Oh, that ain't enough. We're gonna get you Anthony Gonzalez. We gonna get you.
Ocho Cinco
Dallas Clark, Brandon Stokely. Man, don't, man, don't, don't get me started.
Alec Baldwin
If you look at what Patrick Mahomes inherited, he had. Look what he got. He had Tyreek and he had Kelsey. And they went out and they went.
Ocho Cinco
Out and got Sammy Watkins, the unfortunate. Listen, you know, think about everything you just said. Drafting the right way, putting pieces around the quarterbacks so they can have instant success. What is brother temper doing over there? And they want to blame it on the quarterback.
Alec Baldwin
If.
Ocho Cinco
And they want to blame quarterback.
Alec Baldwin
Brady was the only one. Coach Tom probably said, Coach Belichick, don't you draft anybody up because you ain't drafted but one player that's been some good and that's Gron. Everybody else we got in free agency, we got. I mean, what was Amendola? We, you got him in free agency. I think Edelman was a, was an undrafted free agent or a low round draft pick. You Welker, you, you, you signed him, but he was undrafted. You look at the guys that he signed, boy, they would have been good and terrible. You remember he got Taekwond Thornton, the guy from Baylor. They ran like 426, 427. Yeah, man. Couldn't play dead on the West.

It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest, it was a little pink.
Alec Baldwin
There was something sentimental when you, like when you send it. It was like, do I send the heart now?
Bobby Bones
I don't like the color of this.
Alec Baldwin
It's extremely pink.

Alec Baldwin
Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Caleb.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
You gotta run like you make a detour like you going out of bounds. Ojo run and get on up out of bounds. Cuz they're not playing. They gonna, if they get that, they get that close to you. Oo because you don't have the protection of the pocket. You a runner, you're a running back. They gonna lay wood on you. Oo what you take from this ball game.
Ocho Cinco
Listen, I, I enjoy the ball game. Listen, Caleb Williams, what he has to do, he has to learn to protect the ball, learn to protect the ball, learn to live to see another play. Some of those deep throws. Listen, I like what he's able to do as far as his escapability, you know, being able to extend plays, trying to make plays down the field to try to into the game. But you can't, you, you, you can't do it. You can't do it. Obviously like college sometimes some of those receivers were wide open. When you're able to, to dodge the D tackles and the D tackles and the guards that might have, that might have gotten through. But you know, these play, these players are covered. Sometime you throw it in, in in a double coverage. Sometime you, you, you throwing way. He had one, one throw. He threw way across his body from.
Alec Baldwin
The right hashtag all the way back across the field and got picked.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, it's not, it's not going to work sometimes. Listen, just throw the ball away and live to see another down. I mean, other than that. Listen, they pressured him.
Alec Baldwin
They.
Ocho Cinco
They pressured him a lot. You know, they fooled him with some of the coverages. And other than that, I mean, it was a good game. It was good. I actually enjoyed the game because towards the end, the Bears actually had a chance to come back.
Alec Baldwin
It got real interesting.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, it got very interesting. It's funny how that always works, you know that. You ever. You ever noticed that?
Alec Baldwin
I do. Because the thing is, it seemed like they were. The Texan was going in to put the game away. Cam Bakers fumbled the ball. If they're about to go in and go a touchdown, Ocho, they're about to go up two scores. They're about to put the game. Game away. And that's what you have to guard against. Because if you think about it, Ocho, more teams lose games than teams win games.
Ocho Cinco
Yes, sir.
Alec Baldwin
There's more, a lot more losing than winning. Now, we know at the end of the day, they're gonna have to have. Somebody's gonna have to win unless the game ends on a tie. But you go back and look, you look at it like, okay, this was a direct correlation to why we lost the game. And, you know, like you said, Caleb Williams, I think he has a great. His escapability is unbelievable. He can make every throw. He just has to understand this isn't college. Everybody at this level is elite, even if there's tears to it. But you're talking about the best of the best. You only got 1600 men in the world of 8 billion people that do what you do. Yeah, 1600 of 8 billion. That's a very, very minute percent of men that can play this game at the highest level. Calumer says it's not his job to feed targets to the rookie wide receiver, Marvin Harrison.
Ocho Cinco
Me. Did he really say that? Or maybe. Maybe. Do you think they miss?
Alec Baldwin
As a quarterback, obviously, you're going through your reads. Sometimes the ball goes to him. That's not my job. I have a. I have a. I have a sense and a feel for guys when they don't get the ball and when they're getting the ball.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, man, hold on now. This. If I'm. Kyler. Kyler Murray. Khaled Kyler. I know you're gonna see this when you come out the huddle. What number? Marvin Harrison. I mean, Marvin Harrison Jr. Well, 18, isn't it? Kyler Murray, when you come out the huddle and you're making your points with A line pointing out the mic, check the courage, whatever side 18 go to look at the DB. If it's one on one, throw it to him. Don't worry about no read. He is the read. He's the read. What you talk about.
Alec Baldwin
It's stuff like this that makes annoying not my job. That is your job. He. Why you think that you'll be fourth overall? Kyler, I give you one go off crib.
Ocho Cinco
You know what it is? That's over coaching. That's what it is. That's over coaching. That's why that. That's why he said that answer. They're over coaching him. Forcing to go through his reads when. Hello. You got a special individual. Individual. That was the fourth pick for a goddamn reason.
Alec Baldwin
You do that to a rookie. Ocho, ain't nobody overcoaching Kyler. Kyler on some bull job. Kyler been on some bull job. But I. Look, I. I ain't going to go there. This is not the time. This is about him, not you trying to win games. A rookie quarterback coaching this man had been to the Pro Bowl. And you be this man was what he rookie of the year? What do you. Rookie year and then you go and you're gonna talk about. That's not your job. So tell me what your job is. I like to know. So you mean to tell me the guy's rookie of the year? The guy is a Pro Bowl. He's been to the Pro Bowl. He's taking the team to the playoffs. But that's not his job. That explain. That explains. Now you see why. Now you see why. All I'm saying is now you see why.
Ocho Cinco
You know what. You know what's gonna happen though. Who the Cardinals, who the Cardinal play.
Alec Baldwin
Tomorrow, who the Cards play.
Ocho Cinco
Ash, I guarantee they. I guarantee they feeding tomorrow. I guarantee they feature them tomorrow.
Alec Baldwin
They play the Ram.
Ocho Cinco
I bet that. Oh, damn. Hey, but even. Even though still, even with them playing the Rams, I guarantee you they feature Marvin Harrison and he has a welcome to the. To the NFL day, I guarantee you it's just. It's just the way it works. It's just the way. I'm not saying I know the script, but after a day like that, which to me is an embarrassment, especially with the quote coming behind you, you're starting quarterback, saying something like franchise quarterback, that's an embarrassment. They gonna feature Marvin Harrison Jr. Tomorrow, I guarantee you.
Alec Baldwin
The wise thing was to say, look, I gotta. I understand that my playmakers and I gotta do everything in my power to make sure I get them Involved early and often. Yeah. What did Tom Brady say? Tom Brady says my Tom Brady said it's my job to get my playmakers the ball early. Who wants to go the second quarter, the third quarter before they get a target? That's what Tom said, right? Calibra is saying that's not his job. Now, Chad, you see what I'm talking about? You see the difference between mentality, you see how the great players think, and the other players looking to place the blame on somebody else. So in other words, what he's trying to do, Ocho, is up any blame that you might have placed on me. That's the coach's job. Now listen at the other great quarterbacks and when they talk, Peyton Manning, the Tom Brady's, the Mahomes, all those great quarterbacks, they go out of their way early to make sure their playmakers get involved early. Kyler Murray said that's not his job.
Ocho Cinco
I mean, listen, I, I, I'm not. Kyler Murray is, is media savvy. He's, he's savvy enough to be able to answer that in a different way. And I just, it was upsetting for me because on Marvin Harrison Jr. Debut as an NFL player, it shouldn't look like, no, it should have looked nothing like that. Nothing like that. But I, I know one thing. Tomorrow is gonna be, I guarantee you, and I bet anybody in the chat, I bet you a dollar tomorrow he gonna have a date.
Alec Baldwin
Ocho. Now you see why I was born when I was born. Now you see.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, the mentality is different. The mentality is different.
Alec Baldwin
Guys, I know y'all think. I think. Yeah, no, look, oh, whatever.
Ocho Cinco
None. Go ahead, go ahead. I'm good. I took a nap, man.
Alec Baldwin
I just, it would bother me. It would, it bothers me, some of these guys. Mentality. It bothers me that winning is not of the utmost. Why the f. Am I here? Why am I putting my body through this? Why am I denying myself? When I train, I question myself every day. I went to train, I asked myself a couple of questions. Why am I doing this? When is this over? What am I doing it for? How long is it going to last? And then I got to come and hear somebody talk about it's not his job. Guess what? Lord have mercy. It bothers me, man. It really does. Because all I wanted, all I care, all I care about is winning. How do we get better? You don't get better with players like Kyler Murray. His mentality is not what it needs to be. Go listen to all the other Great players. Look at. Listen to Elway, look, listen to Marino, listen to Aikman, listen to Integr, and they'll tell you I got to get my playmaker involved early. They not saying it's not my job. You got the damn ball. It is your job.
Ocho Cinco
Touch it the most, you touch it the most. But that's, that's why I say overcoaching. Because when, when, when. When someone, a quarterback throws out, I have to go through my reads. That's coaching. That's them being in his ear a little bit too much.
Alec Baldwin
Guess what? If I'm a quarterback, damn it, all of a sudden I can't read where 18 at? I don't even know the rest of the damn play. 18 get open.
Ocho Cinco
Listen, that's. Oh, that's a veteran move. Now, that's something me and Carson was doing in year five and six and seven and eight. That's a. That's a veteran move. I'm not sure if he has the. The leeway to be able to go off like that.
Alec Baldwin
Hell, he even got one coach fire. He can get another one fired. It's easy to fire coach than it is a quarterback. It's just. It's just. It's just, man, it's just the, the, the, the. The mindset of some of these guys. That's what. That's what it is, Ocho. That's all I'm saying.
Ocho Cinco
Right. Right.
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, I bet. I bet. Ask him what his job is on car. I bet he know that. I bet he know that. I bet he know what his job is on that. I get Beth. Would he playing partners. Ain't nobody gonna say, man, it ain't your job to protect the blind spot. It ain't your space, your job to go in and do that. I bet they don't know how to tell him that.
Ocho Cinco
He'll be fine. He just gotta. You gotta. You gotta choose his words a little. A little better, that's all.
Alec Baldwin
Two are suffering another concussion. Ocho, knowing his history, I don't know why he had already had the first down. Why didn't he go down and slide? That's my thing, you know. Oh, you probably played with a bum shoulder or a bum something. The last thing you want to do is get hit on it. So you gonna, you gonna. Hey, you ain't hit me on that shoulder. I will turn the other shoulder, let you hit me on the shoulder. That's good, but I'm not gonna let you know if I know. Oo. I've had head trauma like three or four of those. I'm not taking. I'm gonna slide. That's what the protection is in for the quarterback.
Ocho Cinco
I mean, listen, what I did see is him trying to run for the first down, understanding he got the first down. I'm not sure if he was aware of already having the first down, but you already know how you're supposed to slide. You never slide head first as a quarterback. That's one of the first things you learn when you scramble, you come out the pocket, is how to slide correctly. Tua. You already know. You already know. You've had three or four concussions. You missed not last season, but the previous season due to concussions. So you should always be aware not only of surroundings, but when. I'm talking about when enemies. Not enemies, but when you're in danger and when. When you got to know when to go down, you have to know when to go down. So I think he didn't realize he was well past the first down and then. And didn't think Demar Hamlin was going to close in, was going to close in that goddamn fast. And it was too late. It was too late. If anything. If anything, slide early slider, and you always go feet first.
Alec Baldwin
That's even more of a problem if he didn't know he had the first down, considering you're supposed to know you can see. I mean, most guys know that you can see that out of your peripheral because you looking left to right to make sure there's no oncoming trade. Nobody's been inside swipe. You okay? I don't.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, I got this first, you know? You know how I know he didn't know he had the first? Because he was diving head first. Because if you know where he got the first, there's no need to be going forward at all. Just give yourself up.
Alec Baldwin
No, he was trying to stuff up. No, he was. He was trying to set the tone, trying to fire the crowd up. Remember, you like guys to fight. You like guys.
Ocho Cinco
That was different. That was Lamar going out of bounds and seeing the safety coming on and just, you know, just give me a little show to let him know it's gonna be a long night.
Alec Baldwin
No, I ain't gonna give you no shoulder. Not my throwing shoulder, anyway. I give you the other shoulder. Not the one I used to throw the football with. Ocho. And I don't. I don't take this lightly, and I really hate saying this, but two of them probably need to seriously consider sitting it down. If you notice the concussions are starting to look worse and worse, if you notice, every time he has a head trauma, he gets rigorous. He get what they call rigor mortis. It's. Hold on. A doctor. This is what a doctor sent me when it happened. It's called deceiver posturing. A rare abnormal body position that indicates severe brain damage or disruption of brain function. It's this December deceiver. The cerebrate rigidity or extensory posturing. Arms held straight out, rotated towards the center of the body, held parallel to the side. These are some of the symptoms. Legs extended and rigid. Toes pointed downward, turned slightly inward. Hands flexed. Back arched or stiff. Wrists flexed away from the body. Fingers curled. How many times have you seen him get that, Ocho?
Ocho Cinco
I mean, what, three?
Alec Baldwin
And it start. And every time he gets it, Ocho, it's not. You know, some people get it and they're a little like, okay, look, he got his bed wrong. But Ocho. He going stiff with Ocho. He's getting stiff.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah. I mean, listen, at this point, I heard what you just said about him probably. Probably sitting it down and shutting it down. You know, you got to understand, we. We just. I'm talking about. We. They just paid to her. They just put tape. They paid to a lot of money because he is the future of the franchise and the quarterback. In order for them to contend, he has to be at the helm to do that. Now in order to do that, he also has to be healthy and he has to protect himself. So at. At this point going forth, he was able to. He was able to play all last season without this type of injury, without any mistakes. You know, when he does come back, and I'm sure he's going to come back, I'm not sure how long he's going to have to be in. In concussion protocol, but. But he has to take better care of his body, his head, and just make smarter decisions when he does scramble. Because you got to think Tua is not known as a dual threat quarterback. It's not that many times he's going to be out there running around and taking off with the ball as opposed to a Josh Allen or, you know, a Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson. So when he does scramble, he has to make the right decisions and protect himself and learn how to slide.
Alec Baldwin
Oo the Dolphins beat the Jags, but the big news actually happened before the game. And this is what happened. Tyreek Hill was detained by police Sunday a block away from Hard Rock Stadium or driving violation. He was reportedly stopped for speeding and then got into a verbal altercation with the police and was subsequently placed in handcuffs. Dolphin teammate Calais Campbell John Luke Smith stopped to offer support for Hill, leading Campbell detainment for disobeying a direct order. Miami Dade Police Department released a statement, requested an immediate review of the incident. One of the officers involved in the Hill entertainment was placed on administrative duties during the investigation. No, not administrative lead. Yeah, administrative duty. Which means he's going to be at the desk. He's not going to be in the field. Ocho, what was, what would. We're going to discuss the game. So. But Ocho, this situation. Yeah. You have driven the home games. I did it for 14 years. You did it for 1112 years. So you notice like, yeah, lay out, give, give the fans an idea. You go into the stadium, you got to be at a stadium. I mean, normally they ask you to be at the stadium two hours before the game. So, okay, now oo you leave the hotel night before the game. I don't know if you stayed there the full time or you go back home and change, but you're on your way to the stadium. Take the fans through probably what transpired.

Ocho Cinco
I mean, obviously he was headed to the stadium. I mean, the rest, if I'm looking at the background, that's. That's right outside the stadium, outside of outside. Because, you know, because you can see the stadium, you know, in. In the background. So obviously, obviously he was Right there. I'm not sure what. What actually would actually happen. I'm not sure what time it was. I'm not sure if it was running late. So, obviously, if you're stopping for a driving violation, the only type of driving violation you could have two hours before a game would have to be speeding of some sort, maybe not using your signal. I'm assuming something minor. Well, speeding is not minor, obviously. So I'm. He. I'm assuming he was pulled over. Because all. All I have to go off of is based on what we all saw. I mean, that. That's it. I. I think. I think it's unfortunate. I think it's an easy fix. I think was a very easy fix to where it even had. It didn't even have to get to this point to where it got to today. I'm not. I'm not sure if cooler heads had prevailed in that. In that time or in that manner, or him being detained wouldn't happen in that. In that situation. I think you and I have talked about it before when you stopped by the police and doing all you can to be able to resolve the issue without it going any further. You know, I'm not sure if Tyree said anything. Maybe the officer was having a bad day. Was having a bad day. But there has to be some level of respect on both ends where this. With. Where this doesn't happen. The fact that I don't have the evidence on what really happened and what transpired for it to get to that point. It's hard for me to dig deeper and say some of the things I want to say. Outside of the fact it shouldn't get to that point, though, there should be a level of respect on both ends, obviously, especially Miami P. Miami Police Department. If you work in a game. If you work in a game, you're on detail at the game and, you know, it's a player obviously maybe extending him a little grace if he is running late, letting them know, hey, Reek, if anything, just slow down a little bit, baby, because you got people. You got foot traffic. Obviously there's a game going on. People trying to get to the game. Slow down a little bit if you're gonna be late. If anything, just take the fan or whatnot. Whatever. Whatever it might have been. I don't know what it was. But again, I mean, as officers, knowing that there's a game getting ready to be played and knowing that it's. It's a player not saying he should be getting. Getting grace, obviously, rules and laws that you have to abide by. But it just, it just. There's a certain level of respect that officers normally have for a player or in a situation and understanding what's going on. But in this case, I think the.
Alec Baldwin
Thing is, ladies and gentlemen, like when we go to the game, we had to be. We were required to be to the game at least two hours before the game. So our game will start at 2:00 because we're in mountain time. So we start. Had to be there at least by 12. I normally got to the. I normally got to the stadium about four and a half hours before the game. So I normally got to the game, the stadium, about four and a half hours before the game. So the traffic wasn't as heavy, but a lot of times they block it off because they don't want traffic. They want to be able to control the traffic coming in one way. They don't want the normal flow of traffic being able to come in all directions. So they. A lot of times they'll have it blocked off. I was always conscious of that. And so, you know, anytime I pulled up to an area and I saw police officers, I would all. I would like roll my window down to let them know this is Shannon. Because my winner, I always had, you know, I always had 10. But I wanted them to know that, hey, I'm Shannon, you know, hey, I'm going to the stadium. And a lot of it, most of them recognize who I was. Hey, hey, Mr. Sharp, how you doing? Have a great game, so forth and so on. Now, obviously, the later, the later you get to that, that cutoff time that teams have established, the more foot traffic is going to be coming. And so obviously you. They don't want you reading through there 50, you know, not even 35 miles an hour. They probably want you around 5 to 10 miles an hour because there's some traffic. Like I said, I haven't been to in Miami, state of ocho, and since 98. So I couldn't. No, actually we played them in divisional round. Yeah, but that's been so long. That's been so long ago. Ocho. So that's been over two decades. So I really couldn't tell you. And, you know, normally when we come in on the bus, we got police escort. So it's a lot different when you got police escort as opposed to being, you know, you driving yourself.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
And so you're absolutely right. I think the thing is, for that minor of a trafficker for, okay, he's speeding and you got to lay him face down on.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, hold on, hold on. Write him a ticket. Write him a ticket. There's no reason to detain him. There's no reason for him to be face down. But what you do have to think of, if it's sought to, that if they resulted to the point of having to have him face down like that, exchange back and forth and forth, there might have been some exchange back and forth. That's the only time it gets to that point. When an individual is being somewhat volatile towards the law, then they take things in their own hands, because as you get a little loud, what's the first thing they do?
Alec Baldwin
Well, and in that situation, he's gone. Situation, he got all the power. He got a gun. You got a taser. He got a baton. Yeah, he got a bulletproof vest on. He's in that situation. He's gone. My thing is, anytime the police officer comes to my car, I get pulled over. My job is to get him to the car, back to his car. Me on my way. He on his way. With as little conversation as possible. Okay, you Pulled me over, Mr. Sharp. You know how fast you were going? I really don't. But you. I welcome you telling me when you was traveling such and such. And this must I say, I'm sorry, officer, I didn't know I was traveling that fast. But I'm gonna take your word for it, because I'm trying to get him, Ocho. I'm trying to get him to my car, back to his car as quick as possible. The longer he stays at my car, the greater the chance that there's something that we can. It can escalate. Now, a lot of times they're supposed to be in a situation where they de. Escalate the situation, but that's not always. And plus. Oh, you think. Cause you this, you that, you driving this car. Oh, you think you could. No, I don't think that. So that was. That's my whole thought process. How soon can I get him to my car, back to his car, or on his motorcycle and get him on his way? In a situation like that, Ocho, for the. For Tyreek to be laid down and it looked like. I saw a video. It looked like the guy kneed him in his back. I thought that was un. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He. He. But I thought he knee. I thought he needed him. I could be wrong. And maybe the video. Maybe somebody. The video that I saw, maybe that wasn't how it happened, but it looked apparently to me that the guy did meme a little excessive.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
Now I'm not saying that he dropped the. The Ric Flair l ne on him or something like that, you know, in wwe. But. But it looked like it was unnecessary. It seemed to me that it was unnecessary that you lay a man down in the street for a traffic violation. I can see it. The guy, he was. Traffic violation, and he was warning for some heinous crime, but I don't think that was the case. But I think what's going to happen, because this was so public, and it is the Miami Dolphins and Steven Ross and the NFL now is. Everybody's getting involved. Oh, you're gonna come to a quick resolution here, and I can assure you that one probably won't happen again. I'm not gonna say categorically for certain, but there's a great chance that this won't happen again. That guy might have been a little overzealous. I'm not saying that Tyreek wasn't speeding, but I'm just saying I. I don't know if speeding warrants that. Laying a man down, face down in the pavement. You put your knee in his back, you're handcuffing. I mean, if you go do. If you're going. If you're going to do all that, I mean, you might go and take him down.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Most definitely. I mean. Yeah, that would make it. That would make it even worse. That would. That would make it even worse. And obviously, I wish. I wish the situation could have been rectified right away. There's a certain level, obviously, me being from Miami. Did I. Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
Not.
Ocho Cinco
Not. Not even close. Not even close. Not two. Not two hours before a game. When the officers understand that. Okay, whatever the driving violation may have been. Listen, quick little talk. Listen. You got to slow down. But you know what? Okay. If you are speeding, Reek. Listen, I know you got a game, baby. You can't be. You can't be driving that fast through here, right? I got to get a ticket. I got to give you a ticket, man. I got. I got to do right by the law, but I'm gonna let you go. Let you go on about your way. That's it. Simple. It's over. Driver's driver's license, registration. I gotta write this ticket. Just slow down for me. Next time. We got seven more home games here.
Alec Baldwin
Next time, hopefully, we got more than that.
Ocho Cinco
Just be driving the right way.
Alec Baldwin
Hopefully, we got more home.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Most definitely. Most definitely. Most definitely. But I think it's the stain, though. It's sustained on the Miami. On. On the Miami.
Alec Baldwin
It Is definitely not a good look. It's definitely not a good look everywhere.
Ocho Cinco
It's. It's over. Abusing your power just a little bit. Just a little bit. Yeah. Understanding the situation, understanding the circumstances. You know, Tyreek is no threat in this situation. He's not gonna do you any bodily harm. I mean, you know that. So I think, I think obviously it was very excessive and, and unnecessary.
Alec Baldwin
Like. Like. But, like, you know, I think the thing is, I mean, like Tyreek said, what if he wasn't who he was? And the thing is now I think, you know, the cameras and a lot of times and people like, well, body cameras on. You know, he had. He. They're wearing body cams and people like, well, Shannon.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
You talking about you don't get on the elevator with women. Do you understand? It was cameras. Do you know how many times we've seen stuff on cameras and mofos walk up out the courtroom Scotty ass free, and you want me to change that? Just my look. Guess what? The camera ain't working that day. How many times there's a situation. Oh, the officer forgot to turn his body cam on. Ocho.
Ocho Cinco
I assume nothing, thinking they slick.
Alec Baldwin
The moment you pull somebody off, you supposed to hit. But that's neither here nor there.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
Tyreek's okay. Probably a little. A lot embarrassed. Not a little. A lot embarrassed because this played out in front of national, in front of, you know, you play in front of millions. But I. I don't expect to be handcuffed face down with a knee in my back.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah. Oh, not. Not in my own city. Not in the city I play for.
Alec Baldwin
He did what Tyree Hill does. He catches the 80 yarder, takes it to the house. He ends the day seven catch, seven catches for a bucket. Down to 80 yarder. And then he did a. By 10am they had his hand behind his back. And at 3am he had a celebration going with his hand behind his back.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
Hill and Jalen Waddle accounted for 211 of the Miami Dolphins 400 total yards on offense. Two are through for 338. One touchdown. Jacksonville was the ninth best defense against the run last season and they showed it. Miami only had 25 carries for 81 yards, but a chain had 75 rushing. Waddle had five for 109. Tyreek had seven for a buck 30. But this game seemed to be ojo. This game was about to be put away. Atn the Jags and dude jumps, peanut punches. They get the ball and two plays later, Tyreek. So what was about to be a 247 ball game, Ocho. Now all of a sudden you get the ball at the 20 and two plays later, Tyreek's in the end zone.
Ocho Cinco
Right?
Alec Baldwin
And so now what was supposed to be 247 is 17 14. Now you getting out of crowds back in the game. Now the defense starting to feel good about themselves.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, we got a ball game.
Alec Baldwin
But give Miami credit. Jacksonville had an opportunity to really put some, put some distance between them. They were unable to do it and it just go. It just.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
In the blink of an eye. The momentum flip. Just like that. Ocho. A 14 point swing. Colts d shine as they beat the Bears. The defense held Chicago to 63 yards rushing, four sacks, three turnovers. The Colts gave up nearly 500 rushing yards to the first two opponents. Yet the Bears attempted 52 passes. I don't know why. Chicago had 247 yards in the first half. It was shut out in the second and shut out at the half after four straight runs and shotgun in the four yard line and didn't yield a touchdown. This game featured two of the youngest quarterbacks in NFL, Richardson and Williams. Caleb Williams responded late. Touchdown throw to Rome. Dunze and Cole commit his first two NFL passing touchdowns. Boy, they got a lot to learn.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, I couldn't, I couldn't even. This is the only game I couldn't see.
Alec Baldwin
Ocho. They got a lot to learn. They still. It's hard. They. Richardson is still trying. Both of them are still trying to make throws that they made in college. And I keep telling them they got.
Ocho Cinco
The arm, they got the arm.
Alec Baldwin
No, they don't. You can't make them pros, Ocho. You not finna roll one way and throw back across the field. Two picks. I don't know what his first Richardson, first interception in the end zone. Even if the ball wasn't tipped, it was gonna get picked. He got three dudes round the guy and then he rolls and throws. Tried to throw back across the field. The same thing with Caleb Williams, bro. You not getting away with those throws in this league. The guys are too good. This is not you. You're not playing Louisiana Monroe. You're not playing. You're not playing an FCF team. These guys are the best of the best. They make you pay for mistakes. So stop putting your team in harm's way. I think Anthony Richardson would be good, but he's got to stop making these mistakes and he got to learn some touch, bro. I mean, sometimes he throwing the ball, the guy from me to this wall and he throwing it like he throwing it in the hurricane, bro. Sometimes.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
And Caleb, what you. 52 times. Come on, bro. Come. What y'all doing?
Ocho Cinco
I wish. I wish I was playing in the offense where they throw the ball 52 times. I wish. That's a receiver's dream. You know how many. Listen, some teams only ran 65 plays. Sometimes you only run 65 plays and 52 of those are in the air.
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, but that means you're gonna probably lose. If you throw the ball that many times, you're probably gonna lose. It ain't gonna be very many times. Now, it ain't gonna be very many times that you win a game where you throw the ball that much. You behind. You're probably behind, and you're probably gonna lose the game. Now, if you want some stats that. Those are great, but. Yeah, you're not winning 52.
Ocho Cinco
What if you throw it 52 times and you win in the game? What if you throw it 52 times and you efficient. What if you throw 53 times and the quarterback is 48 for 52?
Alec Baldwin
Yeah. What are the. Like, normally when you throw that many times, what are you. You're behind. And teams. But teams will let you. Hey. Do that. So they don't give up anything cheap or deep.
Ocho Cinco
Right. Just keep them in front of us.
Alec Baldwin
Yes. Yeah. I mean, I just. I mean, it's so many guys, and they just like. I'm gonna show you. I. I just want to know. Because Anthony Richardson said that the college was harder than the NFL. I want to know if he still feels that way.
Ocho Cinco
But he. He said that last year before he got hurt.
Alec Baldwin
He said that this year.
Ocho Cinco
This year. I don't. I don't really think he meant that, though.
Alec Baldwin
I don't know if he meant it or not.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, he would just be. He would probably be.
Alec Baldwin
If a girl called you ugly. Oh, she ain't mean that. That ain't what she meant. She said it. Nah. If a girl.
Ocho Cinco
I mean not. But you got. You gotta listen. You know, a girl call you ugly sometimes she flirting and she really don't mean that. But, you know, sometimes she said to keep it.
Alec Baldwin
Don't keep me hungry.
Ocho Cinco
My grandma called me ugly all my life growing up.
Alec Baldwin
I'm gonna take your word for it. I'm done with you. Oh, ugly self. Okay. I try to convince nobody. Are you. Did you mean that? Because, you see, you remember the other day you said I was ugly. Did you mean it? No. You said, I'm good. I will keep it moving.
Ocho Cinco
You can't you can't take it personally.
Alec Baldwin
I ain't gonna be what I look like trying to. Somebody go call me ugly, and they think I'm gonna be with them. I mean, come on, Ocho, we grown. You do that in the fourth grade when you in elementary school, you got a crush on somebody, you hit them with your ugly self. You make me sick. We grown now. We don't play no type of game.
Ocho Cinco
That means she really like you. Hey, I mean, rare. Call me ugly sometimes.
Alec Baldwin
Was she mad at you?
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
Exactly.
Ocho Cinco
When are women the most honest? When they what?
Alec Baldwin
When they're angry.
Ocho Cinco
When they what? Thank you. So probably maybe I am.
Alec Baldwin
You know, I listen.
Ocho Cinco
I'm not the. I ain't top 10 in the world.
Alec Baldwin
I'm not strong.
Ocho Cinco
Six and a half. Especially with a haircut. If I get a haircut. Oh, long as I'm. Long as I'm above five, I'm straight now when I ain't got no haircut and, you know, I. I ain't been on the waist.
Alec Baldwin
Okay. I'm a strong you. I mean, look. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what you like I'm looking for. Like you said, I'm trying to be. I'm trying to be a strong six. Seven.
Ocho Cinco

Release Date: February 2, 2025
Introduction
In this episode of Club Shay Shay, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe delves into pressing issues within the league, including the controversial benching of Bryce Young, critical remarks from UNC regarding Kyler Murray, and the recent detention of star wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hosted by Shannon Sharpe alongside co-host Alec Baldwin and commentator Ocho Cinco, the discussion provides in-depth analysis and diverse perspectives on these high-profile topics.
1. Bryce Young Benched by the Carolina Panthers
At the core of the episode is the unexpected benching of Bryce Young by the Carolina Panthers' coaching staff. Alec Baldwin initiates the conversation by highlighting the abrupt nature of the decision:
Alec Baldwin [04:55]: "Bryce Young era temporarily has been halted. Dave Canales decided to bench Bryce Young less than 24 hours after telling everyone he started the red rifle."
Ocho Cinco expresses skepticism about the decision, emphasizing the lack of surrounding support for Young:
Ocho Cinco [06:06]: "You don't do people like that. They traded significant assets to acquire him, yet he’s being benched after just two games with a new coaching staff."
The hosts delve into the impact of the Panthers' strategy, criticizing the lack of adequate offensive weapons to support Young. Baldwin points out the high expectations placed on Young as a number one pick:
Alec Baldwin [06:28]: "He can't insubordinate because he's the higher up."
Ocho Cinco counters by arguing that the real issue lies with the team's infrastructure and support rather than Young's performance:
Ocho Cinco [07:33]: "You put him in an environment, and you'll find success. It's not Bryce Young's fault."
Key Insights:
2. UNC Criticizes Kyler Murray
The discussion shifts to Kyler Murray, with reference to criticisms from the University of North Carolina (UNC). The conversation highlights the challenges Murray faces in his professional career compared to his collegiate success.
Ocho Cinco emphasizes the pressure Murray is under due to his rookie status and the expectations as a top draft pick:
Ocho Cinco [08:00]: "Bryce Young is not Kyler Murray. There are discrepancies in his play. His confidence is shot."
Baldwin defends Murray's resilience and mental toughness, drawing parallels with legendary quarterbacks:
Alec Baldwin [12:09]: "You can't shake my confidence... I know first of all you drafted me because clearly you like what you saw on tape."
The hosts discuss the importance of a quarterback's mentality and the responsibility that comes with being a franchise player. They argue that overcoaching and lack of support can impede a quarterback's performance and confidence.
Notable Quotes:
Ocho Cinco [09:28]: "What Bryce Young has to do is put on his cape and be Superman, which he cannot do because he has nothing to use around him."
Alec Baldwin [25:02]: "I ain't having overcoaching. You let me read my own plays, and I can execute."

Alec Baldwin [36:14]: "Tyreek Hill was detained by police a block away from Hard Rock Stadium for a driving violation. He was reportedly stopped for speeding and got into a verbal altercation with the officers."
Ocho Cinco critiques the police handling of the situation, suggesting excessive force and unnecessary escalation:
Ocho Cinco [45:39]: "There's no reason to detain him so harshly for a minor traffic violation. It shouldn't get to that point."
They explore the implications of the incident on Hill's reputation and the broader relationship between athletes and law enforcement. Baldwin emphasizes the need for de-escalation and respectful interactions:
Alec Baldwin [47:54]: "I don't expect to be handcuffed face down with a knee in my back... It was unnecessary."
Ocho Cinco shares insights from his experience with Miami traffic and the typical protocols, lamenting the lack of understanding and excessive measures taken in this instance:
Ocho Cinco [49:18]: "If you're driving late for a game, just give a simple warning. There's no need for handcuffs and excessive force."

4. Additional Discussions and Player Performance
Beyond the primary topics, the hosts touch upon recent game performances and emerging talents, analyzing quarterback plays and defensive strategies. They critique young quarterbacks like Anthony Richardson and Caleb Williams, focusing on decision-making and adaptability at the professional level.
Ocho Cinco suggests that Richardson has potential but needs to minimize mistakes and enhance his decision-making:
Ocho Cinco [54:05]: "They have the arm, but they need touch and precision. It's not Louisiana Monroe anymore."
Baldwin criticizes the high number of passing attempts in certain games, questioning their effectiveness:
