All right, the packers beat the commanders Ocho 2718. Green Bay moved to 2 and oh the packers have now beaten 2 FC 2 NFC east contending well the 12 NFC contending teams and back to back weeks. Oo what did you make of this ball game? Jordan Love was 19 of 31 292. Two touchdowns, two touchdowns, no interceptions. Jaden Daniel was 24 of 42200 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. But he was hounded all night long. They pressured him relentlessly and they took him down four times. The commanders were unable to get a running game going. Oo they had 19 rush attempts, 51 yards. They took the running game away and they unleashed the hounds on Jaden Daniels and they win the ball game 27 18. What did you like about what you.
Chad Johnson
Saw from the pack listen from the packers? Everything obviously Michael, Michael Parson was a story. Jordan Love and those receivers were were the story. They, they they're what we heard about leading up to this game. But to me the back end, the back end defensively for The Packers, Xavier McKenna brother Nixon on the one side they were to me I the most surprising which popped out on film which is why which is one of the reasons why I think the packers are going to go very far this year, not only into the playoffs, but make that run in AFC to contend for that super bowl championship. Unk. This is the what the. The packers haven't started 20 since well I think 2020 if I'm not mistaken. And they look phenomenal. Not just on offense. In, in Jordan Love this. The receivers did exactly what we expect them to do. I'm hoping Jaden Reed is okay. I think his, his collarbone, he might have fractured his color.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah, yeah.
Chad Johnson
You can tell the way he failed and they put that weight on it.
Mark Ocho
Yep.
Chad Johnson
You already know, but everybody else stepped up. Everybody else stepped up offensively. Jordan Love did his thing. Josh Jacobs did his thing. But that back end that back in for the packers, obviously not having to the the poses and the threats that the Washington commanders did have were nullified. They were nullified because they're back in played extremely well. They sitting on. They said they sitting on routes, sitting on plays normally that another team you're not sitting on them.
Mark Ocho
Well, they know they don't have to play. They don't have to cover long because they know the pressure is going to come. So they know it. Rashawn Gary, they know what Van Ness, they know what Michael Parsons, they know with those guys, Wyatt and all those guys is going to generate a pass rush and we don't have to hold up long. So hey, until they show us they can hold up right, there's a chance we get a double move.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Mark Ocho
Okay. But we sitting on everything. Hey, we're gonna stand hey, we're gonna stand back here and we don't believe you have time to run by us.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Mark Ocho
So if you run by us, hey, the coach gonna say that's on me. So you'll have to back up gonna play. I'll have to play them a little bit more honestly. But when you got that kind of relentless pressure and the only thing that really saved them a lot tonight because Jaden Daniel does have legs because they were coming and he did not have a whole lot of time to throw the football. And once you neutralize that run now you've made the commanders one dimensional. Once you make a team to one dimensional now they're at your mercy because guess what? We already know you can't run it when you want to. We control the terms of disagreement and the terms is you're going to have to throw. We know you have to throw and we're coming to get you.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
There were two plays with a defensive back, Brother Nixon for the, for the Green Bay packers that that stuck out to me on film playing all. He was playing off at seven. He did his three step read. He's not even looking at her. He's not even looking at receiver. Receiver's coming off full speed. His eyes locked in on Jaden Daniels. Yeah, three steps went, those eyes shifted back to the receiver and he stayed so fundamentally sound un. He didn't panic and his pedal never came out. His pedal. Dude ran. Dude tried to run a stop route. Man, he broke on that. It almost got picked going the other way. Then came back later on in the game and say okay, we see what you're trying to do. We gonna study you now since you so aggressive and you're jumping everything short. They tried to pump him. He stabbed just a little bit just to throw the timing off a little bit. Speed turn, got right back, got right back in the hip side, knocked the ball down. Those two plays to me stuck out tremendously for me because I understand how difficult it is to transition like that as a DB and having that eye discipline and being technically sound and savvy, being patient to be able to do what I saw tonight. No two plays. It's easy to do in practice but seeing him execute it in the game, knowing that the pressure is going to get there, man, hands down that back into me for the packers stuck out.
Mark Ocho
On film back to back weeks. Last week they allowed 246 yards to the Detroit Lions. 200 fewer than 250 yards to the the Washington Commanders. That's back to back weeks. That's the first two games of the season since 1995. Michael Parsons generated the team high eight pressures. He had a half a sack on 37 pass rush attempts. In his second game with the Packers. Six of Parsons pressures came in the second half. Look, he's an edge guy, you know and I understand they got a lot of edge guys and so you're going to have sometimes guys going to have to line up inside and it's all congested in there. But he needs to be in space. Yeah, he can, he can use that quickness. He can use that, that ability to move and bend those edges. I saw the thing that was showing kind of show like DT at a 40 degree angle. Michael park at a 42 degree angle. Both can bend the edges, but I think that's the, that's the. The thing is Ocho, you're right, that back end looked really good. But when you get that kind of push up front, you ain't got a whole lot long.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Right.
Mark Ocho
You ain't Got to hold up long. Kraft had an unbelievable job at the tight end position. He had 124 yards, the most since Richard Rogers in Week 13, 2015 against Detroit. That was the miracle at Motown. The hair of Mary game. Mojo, they've been losing the whole game. And then Aaron Rodgers rolls and he Richard Rogers plus the Hail Mary. But I. Defensively there. There's nothing not to like. Look, he. Jordan Love. He was late on one throw. He should have touched another touchdown early in the ball game. He just late.
Chad Johnson
Oh, Matthew. To Matthew Golden. The one of Matthew Golden. That was easy six. And it. It allowed the DB to recover.
Mark Ocho
Yep. I don't know why he. I don't know why he put that much air up on it. He tried.
Chad Johnson
He looked like he tried to touch it instead of just let it go. Just let it go.
Mark Ocho
Ain't no. Ain't nobody over there, bro. Just go ahead and throw that. And then he had another when he put too much on it. Cuz golden had split the seams.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
And he. He probably had a. Probably. He probably should have used a little. A shorter club. He had too much. He had too much club.
Chad Johnson
You know what?
Shannon Sharpe
When.
Chad Johnson
Just, just. Just in comparison. Matthew. Matthew golden runs a four. Four. Right. And I look at that play, I look at that play and this is where I say where I think Tyreek Hill is so special. I didn't mean to bring up Tyreek.
Shannon Sharpe
I.
Chad Johnson
But a play like that, a ball like that, where Tyreek is in that position where he split that safety net corner, he makes that catch and run.
Mark Ocho
Yeah, but that's. That's the differ between. I mean, people run right up under that ball. That. But that's the differ between 42 and 44, though. That. Yeah, you're right. He's gonna run up under that. But there's a good chance if he. If he doesn't. If he. If he hitches, Tyreek gonna outrun it.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Chad Johnson
Absolutely.
Mark Ocho
So the thing is maybe in a situation like that you can't, you know, you can't take the hit. You just got to. Basically when you just let it go.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Cuz Tyreek with a free release.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Oh, yeah.
Chad Johnson
Free.
Mark Ocho
Nah. I mean, because the thing is you got to make. You got to make Tyreek drop step. You got to make him do something. You can't just let the man have a free release like he running 100 meters. Just free go, he gone. Well, you ask you. You really asking for trouble. Yeah, but I. You had to be really impressed with the Packers. Look I'm not overly concerned against Washington. That was a buzz saw. That was a short week, and that's no excuse. But when. If you can't run the football against a team that can generate that kind of pressure, you're gonna be in for a long night, because you gotta. You got to give them something else to think about. Ocho right now. They're not thinking about anything. They're not running about Eckler. They're not worrying about merit, Koski, Merritt. They're not worried about any of those guys because what you've shown is that you can't run the football against our front four.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Right?
Mark Ocho
So now we'll. We'll worry about the run. Hey, y' all handle that? A linebacker. Y' all handle that. We going hunting.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
They did a great job of keeping Jaden Daniels in the pocket. They did a great job of when he escaped the pocket. Because they got guys that can run. They got guys that can hunt. Hey. And the coach turned looser 8. These dogs gone hunting. And they did a great job of tracking jaden Daniels tonight. 24, 42, 200 yards, two touchdowns. He didn't turn it over, but he was under constant pressure. Michael Parsons had eight pressures alone, sacked him four times. So they probably pressured him another, you know, probably 12, 13 times tonight.
Chad Johnson
That's exactly what I'm going to ask you.
Mark Ocho
Do you.
Chad Johnson
Do you. Do you see the presence. The presence of Michael Parsons, how he. That defense? Obviously.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Obviously.
Chad Johnson
Listen, they were already good even if he wasn't there. But his addition to that and speeding up everything else for whoever they're playing offensively, being destructive, throwing off the timing, helping that back end where the DBs right now. But they looking like. They looking like hall of famers out there now.
Mark Ocho
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Looking like hall of Famers where it seems as if they are making all the plays. But if you don't understand the game, you look from the outside looking in, you'd be like, oh, my goodness. Boy, these boys back there is all world.
Mark Ocho
Oh, you're right. But that. But you can do that, Ocho.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
You look at the secondary when you had Reggie, when Reggie was in Philly, you look at those guys, all those guys that were. Because you had Reggie, you had Clyde Simmons, you had Jake, rest his soul, Jerome Brown.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Look at what you had. So ea. And them back there, they didn't have to hold up long. No, they didn't have to hold up long.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
So the ball's gonna come out quick. You got Reggie. You got Reggie on one side you got J. You got Clyde on another side, you got Jay Boogie.
Chad Johnson
Hey, who. Eric Allen was on one side, right?
Mark Ocho
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
You remember who was on the other side of Eric Allen, or do you remember?
Mark Ocho
It was the defense. Let me see if I can remember. They were Reggie Clyde, Jerome Brown, Byron, I think Byron Evans, Seth Joyner, EA Muddy Waters. I don't. I can't off the top of my head, Ocho. I can't.
Chad Johnson
I can't remember at all. All I can see, Eric Allen with that 21 on clearance. Yeah, Clear as day.
Mark Ocho
I can't remember who was on the other side. Ojo. Yeah, but they were. They had a very. They had a very good defense. Man, you look. E.A. he was in. He was in New Orleans. Also played in New Orleans.
Chad Johnson
You talk about on the. It must be on the back end, because I don't remember that.
Mark Ocho
I know you don't. Nah, he finished up, if I'm not mistaken. I think he finished up with the Raiders. You remember him with the Raiders?
Chad Johnson
I remember. I remember him with the Raiders. I remember that, and I definitely remember.
Mark Ocho
I think he. I think he went from Philly to New Orleans, New Orleans to the Raiders. Okay, can you check that? Eric Allen, I think he went from Philly to New Orleans and then New Orleans to New Orleans. Yeah. And if I'm not mistaken, he was. When they had the. The dome. The Dome patrol, right? When they had Pat Williams, Ricky Jackson, Vaughn Johnson, and they had Sam Mills.
Chad Johnson
The field middle linebacker. Sam Mills.
Mark Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think. I think EA Was there with them. So he's always had a pass rush in front of him. That's why he was sitting on everything. He had the record before Duron Bland broke it with those six. With those five return touchdowns.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Mark Ocho
Cause EA Was sitting on everything. But they were, they were, they were, they were. They were loaded. They were. They were a very good team. Now, he was outstanding defensive back. He had great skills. He could take the ball, you know, he could take the ball away. And you know, the thing. He had great. He had great feet. He was small. Smallish and, you know, but he realized he didn't have to hold up long. Yeah, but a lot of those guys had. I think Ricky Jack had already gone.
Shannon Sharpe
If.
Mark Ocho
I'm not sure. I think Swill might have still been there. I think Sam Mills, at that point in time had already gone to Carolina, so. But they were. They. They had.
Shannon Sharpe
They.
Mark Ocho
He had a. He cut his teeth over in Philly. That's where, you know, most of the people remember him from but he had an outstanding career. Jordan Love finished 9 of 15, 175 yards. Both touchdown came against the commander's blitz. On throws of 10 plus air yards. Against the blitz, Love was 6 of 8 for 144 yards and a touchdown. His 14.5 air yards per attempt is a career high. Mark Ocho, did you like what you saw from Jordan Love?
Chad Johnson
Yeah, absolutely. Because the whole point of blitzing is to throw the timing off and get to you before you can get the ball out. Jordan Love is doing exactly what veteran quarterbacks do and understand, okay? Based on what I see, based on tendencies, based on watching film, I already know what's coming. One Love make his points. He communicates with that offensive line and they see what's coming. No matter how much you bluffing and rotating and doing all that, all that shenanigans, oh, we know what you're getting ready to do. And, and when a quarterback knows it ahead of time, you get the kind of night you got from him. When it comes to passing the ball when they're blitzing, I'm not sure what percentage that the commander did blitz, but I, I guarantee you 98% of the time that they did. Jordan Luck completed that pass.
Mark Ocho
Yeah, well, you, you're right. Oh, you try to throw the timing off, but those receivers are so quick. Did you see that touchdown by Dos at the goal line?
Chad Johnson
Yes.
Mark Ocho
Hey, I'm.
Chad Johnson
Listen, I'm, I'm not a defensive back. Huh? I'm not a defensive back, but I love defensive back play. All he did was stick to the outside. Why you even going for the first move? You got to have patience like Sallie May. Keep your heels on the goal line and don't go nowhere.
Mark Ocho
What you, what you moving for?
Chad Johnson
He didn't even make a move because it was stab outside and come in.
Mark Ocho
Because, because when you study Green Bay. What, what did devonte Adams, what route did devonte Adams catch so much, but it got that fade stopping that speed out.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, yeah, okay, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Mark Ocho
Hey, how many times we don't see devonte Adam run that two yard out for a touchdown? Yeah, you better go for it, right?
Shannon Sharpe
You're right because it go.
Mark Ocho
Because here's the thing. Oo. If that man run that speed out and you're not close, they're like, bro, what you waiting on? Why, why you playing to see men, right? That's a really, that's a really hard. And that's why I say, ooh, if you up there. If you, if you up there, Ocho, are you gonna press or not? Because if you up in a press position, you gotta get your hands on the guy. You gotta got free relief. You up there, you let a guy free release you beat. Yeah, especially down there because you get Ocho, the man ain't got but 2, 3 yards. Go for a touchdown. So he completed. He in the end zone.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Mark Ocho
You're right.
Chad Johnson
Listen, I, I never understood with dbs, there's one DB that I've seen that's been able to do it because he's, he's so disciplined.
Mark Ocho
Yes.
Chad Johnson
Movement is so good. Where he can be up and press and not touch you at all because he can stay in front of you the whole time. And that's Denzel Ward. Obviously you have other, other players that are good that do it a little differently, but they love to use their hands to maintain a leverage throughout the right route, throughout the route and stay on top of you. But I listen, you gotta, if you're gonna get up there and press, put your hands on them and throw the timing off.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Right.
Chad Johnson
Because it throws the timing off right away.

And you made the Sharp family the first Sharp and you made us proud. So now, after you've had all this opportunity, you had the better parts of seven months to absorb this, what did this moment finally mean? Has it finally hit you now, really?
Shannon Sharpe
You know, the thing is, it's one of those things is the line of what has to happen kind of thing. You know how. You know how it goes. We, we went through this. We went through this when you went through it, you know, we. We went through the whole. We went through the whole, you know, this is what we have to do. This is where you have to be. This is what you're going to get. So it's just another step in the process, man. And I just look at it that way. I don't look at it as. You know, my career ended in 1994. You know, my football was done in 1994. And this is just an extenuation of, you know, being able to come back and stand in front of the fans that I played in front of to let them know that I appreciate them, you know, to get a ring that. That is 10 times too big to wear every day to do anything with. But, you know, it was a good time. I got. I got Susan some here. They're right there. There they go right there. There, there.

And you hadn't been back since, what, you went to the ring. You went to the ring of honor, right? So you've only been back a couple times.
Shannon Sharpe
I hosted. I hosted the first show for NFL Network after they won the Super bowl in 2011. I can't 09 or 20. Okay. So I came back when they played the. Had the first game on Thursday night, and I was At NFL Network then. So I hosted then.
Mark Ocho
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So, yeah. Since 2011. Back for your. For your podcast. The first time I came back since 2011.
Mark Ocho
Wow. We can tell. We can tell. You just got on the elevator, too. We got eyes everywhere. We all hear your conversation, and that's the whole point.
Shannon Sharpe
The point is, bro, hey, game's over on. Festivities over, bro. It's time to go to bed now. We all our way back up to the room.
Mark Ocho
What? Y' all leave. Y' all leave first day, first thing in the morning, because y' all gotta go for. Y' all fly directly. You got to go to Chicago.
Shannon Sharpe
I gotta go to Chicago.
Mark Ocho
Oh, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
But. But no, it was a. It was a great night, man. We got a chance to enjoy some friends we haven't seen in a while. I got Perry.
Mark Ocho
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Ron Halam, of course. Hall of Famer Leroy Butler was here. Olympian Dan Jansen was here. So it was a good time. You know, it was a good. It was a good time for. It was a good time for us, man. So we. We enjoyed that. We did that. And now we back at the room, getting ready to get our stuff packed and get out of here.
Mark Ocho
I mean, what. What does it mean? Because a lot of those. A lot of those people that were in attendance tonight, they didn't get an opportunity to personally see. Some did, but not a lot of those people didn't get an opportunity to see your. See you personally see your career. What does it mean to you? What did it feel like to have 70,000 fans, really? Because they. They love their packer player.
Shannon Sharpe
80.
Mark Ocho
80. 80,000 fans.
Shannon Sharpe
80,000. To be able to let them know that, you know, I. I know that I'm playing.
Mark Ocho
I.
Shannon Sharpe
What I said tonight, Shan, I got to say, in front of grands and great grands, right?
Mark Ocho
Oh.
Shannon Sharpe
So it was. It was. It was pretty cool to be able to talk to grands and great grands about what it meant for me to be, you know, for. To. For. I understood, you know, because. And, you know, when I first got to Green Bay, they weren't very good. No, they were not. And when I left Green Bay, they were a lot better. And the wonderful thing about our fans is they're not fair weather, Bruh. Whether it's minus 300 degrees or if it's 86, they show up, Ocho. They show up. I mean, Ocho, my brother's first NFL game, I thought I'd killed him because he froze to death.
Mark Ocho
That's how cold it was.
Shannon Sharpe
But the thing was, is he was there the Fans were there also, so it was. It's tremendous to be able to let them know because, you know, when I left the game, the fans didn't know I wasn't coming back, right? They didn't know. You know, all they knew was, is, oh, he had a neck injury. He didn't get to play in the two playoff games. And so he is, you know, God, we're building something. They didn't know that that was my last game.
Mark Ocho
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Had no idea. So. And. And. And I don't know if you guys got a chance to say goodbye. You know, I got a chance to say hello because I was the seventh pick in the first round, right? But I. I never got a chance to say goodbye. Not that I needed one, but, you know, if you say hello, you really kind of feel like you want a chance to say goodbye. And tonight I got a chance to do that.
Mark Ocho
That's awesome. No, I retired, you remember, in 04, you know, CBS gave me the call and they. They asked me to sit at the table, and I realized, and, you know, you're like, look, man, you get too old to play football. You don't get too old to talk. And there's no guarantee that this position will be available next year when you really want to retire because you want to go back and get year 15. There's nothing you can do that's going to change people's perception of you. You got the championships, you got all the records. You, hey, go ahead and take this job. And it was an easy. An easy decision for me. Now I just called Mike and said, mike, I appreciate the opportunity that I would really love to come back, but this opportunity that I have that's before me right now is just too good to pass up. I had a thing, I got. My teammates came back, and I was like, hey, thank you guys for everything. But out the door, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. And that's. But. But, you know, when you play, we're all at different stages or parts or reasons for playing this game. I played football because I wanted to. I played football to impress my brother. And when it was over for me, and I said this to the media tonight, the only two people that were happier that my career ended were the two doctors that told me I should never play again. I was okay with my career ending. I was okay with moving on. I was okay with using my college degree to be able to see what was out there, what was next. I was looking forward to what was. I was looking forward to what was next. And so being able to do that Man, I was. I was happy about being able to do next. I was really prepared for being able to do next. And I was in a neck brace and didn't know what was going to be next. I didn't know what was going to be next.
Mark Ocho
Right. So, man, congratulations, man. Thanks for taking time out. I know you got a lot going on. I know you got to get packed and you ready to get up out of there.
Shannon Sharpe
No, man, no. Hey, hey, hey. I. I want to do. I want to do one thing for your. Is she over here? Yeah, don't worry. Oh, she's not there yet. Hold on, man, because I want. I want to introduce your audience. You know how I am, man. I don't do. I don't do. What's the word I'm looking for? I don't do recognition very well. I don't. I never have. I'm more of a behind the scenes, somebody else gets the recognition. But I want. I. I would love the opportunity. If you will allow me two minutes. If she's here, I want to introduce you to the architect on why I came back to Green Bay. I have not been on Lambo's Field since the day I stood on that field watching the. The playoff game, the last playoff game. So I have not been back. But I want to see if she. Oh, she's here. Hold on. She's here. Hold on. Okay. So, bro, Bro, this is Kathy. Hey.
Mark Ocho
I met her at the hall of Fame.
Shannon Sharpe
I would not. I would. I would not be here if it wasn't for her. You know me, bro. I'm not nostalgic. I'm not that kind of guy that needs my ego stroked or, oh, well, let me. Let me come back and be recognized. But the reason I came back to Green Bay on this night to get my ring, because I told the hall of Famers, just send it to the house. The reason I came back is for her because she has been. She's wonderful at what she does. She is very passionate about what she does. And you know what? She got me through this. She said she would. She was the reason that the party went so well.
Mark Ocho
It was amazing.
Shannon Sharpe
The party went so well. Then you were there. You know what that looked like and how that works. This is Kathy. She made this work. And I. I just want to give her her flowers while I can in front of your audience. Thank you, Ocho, and let her know that I really appreciate her. She's a member of the family now, so we can talk to her any way we want because she's in the family.
Mark Ocho
Well, Kathy, thank you, but no.
Shannon Sharpe
She's the reason I came back. And it was a good night. We had a good time. We're gonna have one more drink, and.
Mark Ocho
We going to bed.
Shannon Sharpe
All right.
Mark Ocho
Kathy, thank you for the great job that you did at the hall of Fame. It was unbelievable. I. I speak for everybody that was in attendance, especially my family. It was very well put together. Thank you for handling everything to get him and the family to and from Lambo to receive his ring. I personally can't thank you enough. But on half of the Sharp family, thank you for all you've done for my brother and this whole entire process. Well, thank you.
Shannon Sharpe
Thank you. It's our pleasure, really. All right, man. All right, man. Y' all lay it down like y' all supposed to. We'll talk later.
Mark Ocho
Thank you. All right, bro.
Shannon Sharpe
All right.
Mark Ocho
Yeah, I know he doesn't, man. Log off. I know he doesn't think so. My brother's going to have a fourth surgery on his eye, his right eye. He had. He found out he had a detached retina, and he almost lost the eye. And he's had several surgeries on the eye, trying to get it corrected. And this is one of the reasons that they had it so early. He drove to Canton, and he really didn't. He really didn't want to come because the pressure, the doctor says, you know, you keep risking it going up into that pressurized situation with the eye. So he's going to have his fourth surgery on his eye later this month, and hopefully they get it corrected. And it's a process that he has to spend about 14 hours a day face down for six weeks. He has to sleep in that position. So he bought one of those cradle tables, like a massage therapist. So he spends the bulk of his day face down. It might be more than that. I think it's somewhere between 14 and 20 hours a day face down for six weeks. And so I want to take the time now to, hopefully that thing, it goes well this time, and we won't have to have another surgery on the eye. And. And he gets to keep the eye. So nightcap family say a prayer for him as he. He's about to go on, you know, go through another surgery, and hopefully this time, they get it. They get it corrected.

But now we get back to our normally scheduled program and nearly a year after knocking Derrick Henry to the ground with a big hit, Browns Grant Delpit delivered another shot at Henry. Asked Thursday how Hard is it to bring a 6 foot 3, 250 pound Derrick Henry down? Delpic quickly answered, not hard. He responded later that day saying he was aware of Delpit comment. He had a quote, we'll see on Sunday.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, I like it. I like Del Pit coming out publicly like that. Obviously you look at so many players that went that, that play against the Raven, that played against the Titan when Derek Kim was there, that turned away from contact, that shied away from contact, that chose to allow him to run by him, and they rather attack them from the side and make a business decision instead of attacking them head on. Del Pit is one of the few. I mean, there might be maybe one or maybe one or two other safeties that really just don't care. They don't care nothing about their bodies and they're gonna go in there and stick their face in there and it's made. It's man on man, it's mighty on on Imano Delpit kind of setting the tone for the defense coming out with comments like that. Obviously giving the Ravens bullets board material, but them having the personnel to be able to back that up now they, now they got to do just that. They got to back it up. Catch his ass going left and right, catch him going east and west. Once you allow him to get north going north, you already know what time it is.
Mark Ocho
But that's the problem, what time it is. You do realize now Derek Henry's gonna go out of his way to see if you bought that. You know what I'm saying?
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Oh, yeah.
Mark Ocho
You know, he's gonna go out of his way and we gonna see. We're going to see if it's not as hard as you said it is.
Chad Johnson
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Mark Ocho
There ain't a whole lot of safeties that's looking to tackle Derrick Henry head on, especially if he know you coming. See, it's either to sneak up on somebody or you hit somebody. You know, he's trying to stiff arm somebody and you catch him, now he knows. Oh, Grant. What's the number, y'? All okay, don't worry about it. Don't, don't, don't worry about it. I got it.
Chad Johnson
Listen, I got it.
Mark Ocho
I'll take, I'll take it from here.
Chad Johnson
I like it because we don't.
Mark Ocho
Hey, whoever. Hey, don't block him, Zay. Don't worry about him. Hey, get somebody else. Hey, you take Denzel Ward, because I don't want him to try to have it to chase me down.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Right.
Mark Ocho
I'll take care of the Safety. Because, you know, oo in a situation like that, a lot of times we can't block everybody. There's one person free. It's kind of like the punt returner. Turner. We gonna have everybody else blocked up. You got the punter, you gotta block him.
Chad Johnson
I take everything else.
Mark Ocho
I take everything else. Dang. Everybody say, hey, don't even worry about Grant Delpit. I got that.
Chad Johnson
I like it.
Mark Ocho
But look, this is an old look. There's no love lost between these two teams. No, I. Baltimore is seething. They know they let a game. But so is Cleveland. Cleveland. Say we had. We had the Bengals dead to right. We missed a pat and a field goal.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Lamar Jackson. And that. That Baltimore Raven said, hold on, wait a minute, man. We had a 15 point lead, under four minutes to go. Oh, we about to go ahead and try to do something bad to y'.
Shannon Sharpe
All.
Mark Ocho
Miles Garrett said, y' all ain't about to do nothing bad to nobody. Not if I got something to say about it. But I tell you what, number 77 better do a better job than what he did against in Buffalo.
Chad Johnson
Hey, that was. That was bad, huh? That. That was bad. That was bad. He looked like he was lost on some plate.
Mark Ocho
I thought he was out there doing.
Chad Johnson
The Macarena just because he didn't have anybody in front of him. Obviously, if nobody's in front of you, the closest man to you, help your partner out. Look to your right, help your partner out. He going. He's sitting there turning in circles. Not touching nobody.
Mark Ocho
Nope.
Chad Johnson
Like, what are we doing?
Mark Ocho
Head up inside. Most dangerous man. That's how we block normally to your inside, which is you gotta got head up. That's you.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
You gotta got inside out. That's you.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Other than that, if ain't nobody there, you take the most dangerous man. Like you said, Ocho, hey, help somebody out.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, absolutely. You know what I do like too? From. From Grant. We don't get this enough. We don't get this enough in today's NFL. We don't get players coming out and not saying anything malicious, but posing a competitive challenge to their opponent. I like it because now for me, there are a lot of games that's being played at one o'. Clock.
Mark Ocho
Huh?
Chad Johnson
There are a lot of games going to be being played at one o', clock, but you know which one I want to tune into simply because of the. The back and forth between those two. I want to see the Browns and I want to see the Ravens because I want to see what's going to Happen when the Ravens are on offense and they have to run the ball and is granted Delpic going to come to the party when the door is open. That's all I want to see. That's. That's all I want to say. Amongst the other things that those teams have to offer offensively and defensively. Everybody's gonna be watching 22 versus what. What number? Del Pit. Well, he wear one. I know Craig do some zero.
Mark Ocho
Right.
Chad Johnson
Whatever it is, I. I want to see. I can't wait. I can't. I'm gonna be front and center. Matter of fact, I'm gonna be at the sports book, and I'm gonna tell.
Shannon Sharpe
Him in the sports book.
Chad Johnson
I want the Ravens and Browns game on the big screen.
Mark Ocho
I want to know he's 909.
Chad Johnson
Okay. Okay.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Okay.
Mark Ocho
Okay.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah. Yeah.
Mark Ocho
My thing is, Ocho is like, look, I don't have a guy. Because here's the thing. There are no ramifications if. Because if he lose, they gonna say, well, what did you want him to say? No, I wanted you to do what you said you was gonna do.
Chad Johnson
Yes, sir.
Mark Ocho
Don't talk about, oh, it was a game. And, you know, hey, I ain't backing out. No, no, no, no, no. You said that. Man ain't hard to tackle. Now, I'm gonna need you to drop some lumber. I'm need you to drop anchor and make Derrick Henry feel you.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah, yeah.
Mark Ocho
I ain't talking about no side and jumping on his back and the whole. But no, you said he's not hard to tackle. I want to see if he's not. I don't. I don't want to see. I ain't talking about Miles Garrett. I'm not talking about nobody else. I'm talking about you. You said that. So now you wrote checks. Everybody else got a cash. Now, I don't know how much money y' all got as a defense in this account, but all I know is that you wrote a check that y' all ass going to have to cash.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, I like it. I like it.
Mark Ocho
That's. That's all I know.
Chad Johnson
And.
Mark Ocho
And.
Chad Johnson
And most of the time, when a player comes out and speak. And speaks out as you look at you look at me, most of the time, from an officer player, when I did all that talking for 11, 11, 12 years, however long I played, I knew one thing. Not only do I have to back it up, but I put pressure on myself. I took the pressure off the rest of my teammates. So all they had to do is go out there and do Their job because I had 10 other people trying to knock my head off.
Mark Ocho
Absolutely.
Chad Johnson
I don't play on the defensive side of the ball. Now, if you play on defense and you come out, you're talking like that, oh, you ain't got no choice but to sword because not all eyes are on you.
Mark Ocho
Right.
Chad Johnson
All the pressure's on you now. You got to fulfill everything you said, man.
Mark Ocho
Right about.
Chad Johnson
Hey, I can't wait.
Mark Ocho
We know there's no love loss between these two teams. You know, they're in the same division. They've been in the same division. Like I said, the Ravens were the old Browns. Now the Browns have their own team. That just goes to show you what. Think about it. Now the NFL made Art Modell leave the Cleveland brown colors and the records in Cleveland. No other team in the history of moving has ever had to do that. The Cardinals did not leave there in St. Louis. They took them. The Raiders. They moved from Oakland to la. La. Back to Oakland, Oakland to Vegas. They still silver and black, and they still got their records. The Rams have moved. They were in St. Louis. So were the Cardinals. Nobody. Even the Houston. The Houston Oilers, they moved to Tennessee. They didn't have to leave that. The Colts were in Baltimore.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
They left in 1984 in the middle of the night. They didn't tell anybody.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Only Art Model had to leave his colors and the records, and they got a new team.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
So there's no love loss, especially between The City and Mr. Model. But a lot of the people that was there during that process. The Ravens have been in Baltimore now since 1996. Since 1996. So damn near 30 years. Well, if 30 years, what's the hostility for, right? Look, I, I, I play, you know, Look, I obviously, I played two years with the Ravens, and we played the Browns. We beat them, Beat the hell out of them the first two years. They beat us the second year there. But I'm gonna see. I'm, I'm with you. I'm gonna make sure I'm watching, you know, I'm gonna make sure I have my box on and have my. Look my, My computer, because I'll be watching. Because I want to see. Now you best believe. Now I'm gonna say, ocho, I saw somebody with an alligator, Alligator mouth, with a hummingbird ass. Because somebody was doing a lot of talking.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
And he have a lot of bricks in his back pocket. So we go. We gonna see this. Oh, yo. Hey, let's start. They got some great games on Sunday. They got the Eagles. They Got the, we got the super bowl rematch. Super bowl rematch. But I'm gonna play very close attention to that game.
Chad Johnson
Oh yeah, absolutely. Listen. For me, the number one game to watch for me, despite the super bowl rematch is the Ravens and the Brown simply because of the trash talk and exchanging trash talk. If the goddamn Chiefs happen to start owing to, well, hey, it might be time to hit the panic button. But again, if you, if you have 15 at the helm, what you do in September really doesn't matter because by the time you get to the back end of the season when it matters most, the Chiefs are going to be in the race. So regardless of who wins this, this, this early super bowl rematch in week two ain't really mean. It ain't really meaning nothing.
Mark Ocho
So we're going to find out. Cleveland doing a lot of talking. We're going to find out if they're going to be able to back it up. The question also, Ocho, the Ravens, what if they fall to 0 and 2?
Chad Johnson
Oh, well, hey, I think the Ravens fall in 0 and 2 and the Chiefs fall into 0 and 2. There's no reason to hit the panic button.
Mark Ocho
Huh?
Chad Johnson
There's no reason because who are the quarterbacks? Patrick Mahomes. Who's the quarterback? Lamar Jackson. That's a hole that they can dig themselves out of.
Mark Ocho
But also look at the quarterbacks in the division with them, Joe Burrow and Aaron Rodgers. That's not the normal cast of characters that you normally see with a team. Cuz. Okay, now go to go to Patrick Mahomes division, you got Justin Herbert, you got Bo Nicks. So you got guys now that got qu that can get great quarterback play. So this notion that, oh, it's a no brainer.
Chad Johnson
No, no, no.
Mark Ocho
Now mind you, you've already lost to the Chiefs, I mean to the Chargers.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yes.
Mark Ocho
And next week you're on the road to the Giants. So it's not like the Chiefs got an easy schedule because when you to win the division, you got your, you know, you got your team that you're going to play outside of. You got your division cross matchups. Maybe it's, I think Kansas City might play the NFC east or something like that, but then you also get division winners from other divisions. So a ain't no, ain't no cupcakes.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
No, no.
Mark Ocho
Hey, they, hey, that's one thing about the NFL. They make you earn it year after year.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Oh yeah, Ocho.
Mark Ocho
After Sunday's loss to the Commanders, Malik Neighbors explained a fiery sideline exchange with head coach Brian Dayball. As an attempt to boost people up because he felt like the team's energy was not where it needed to be. I was trying to get the offense going. I was trying to tell people, get rolling. The lights were on, the game was on. It's time to play. I feel like we just got pushed over and everybody was just talking about attitude and stuff like that. It's just. I got that NBF nasty B face. You know what I'm saying? That's just what it is. That's just my face. I don't know. I don't know what all you. What all you talk to me about to talk to me. I look the same way every time. I don't know. It's just how I am, but I guess I have to smile more. He said that he's spoken to Coach Day Ball about just the sideline demeanor since the game and knows he has to be more conscious of it in the future because of how many eyes are on him during the game.
Chad Johnson
Most definitely. You know, they, they will misconstrue that. They will misconstrue your passion, you know, at that position, especially playing receiver. Now when you have a. When you have a quarterback that does the same things like that and he shows that passion, enthusiasm for the game to get his teammates going and you're, you're, you're. You're having confrontation and what they think is conversation from the outside looking in, and it's just you reacting to the low. What's the word? The low excitement of your team and trying to get everybody going. Trying to get. Trying to get the fellas to get to going when things aren't going well. Maybe things are going well, not going well offensively or things aren't going well defensively and hyping everybody up around you. Sometimes it works. But when you're, when you're a skill position, it is. Is frowned upon. It's proud. You have to carry yourself a certain way because the mannerisms in which you do. They call it disgruntled. If a quarterback does it, they call it passion. It's the same act, but they word it differently depending on who you are and what position you do play. Yeah, because. And especially playing that goddamn New York.
Mark Ocho
Correct.
Chad Johnson
Got to be.
Mark Ocho
They get lab. You get labeled. This grown. You get labeled. They use the term malcontent.
Shannon Sharpe
They.
Mark Ocho
You. You know, I'm saying you a diva.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Well, why. Why can't I have passion? Why can't I want to win?
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Right.
Mark Ocho
Oh, I'm. I'm selfish.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Right, Right.
Chad Johnson
I mean, listen, we've seen one man.
Mark Ocho
Passion is another man's selfishness. It's another man's diva.
Chad Johnson
The funny thing about it is we've seen Tom Brady do it on the sideline. I'm talking about go the hell off.
Mark Ocho
Yes. A lot of quarterbacks do it. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
I'm not. We've seen Peyton Manning do it. I mean, go the hell off. I'm talking about screaming at his offensive lineman.
Mark Ocho
You.
Chad Johnson
You remember that. Remember that clip chat? If y' all remember the clip with. With Jeff Saturday and Peyton Manning going. Yeah, on the side. Oh, my goodness. That happens all the time. It happens all the time. But when DEZ Bryant doesn't. Oh, it's an issue. Oh, it's a problem. When Steve. Ms. Steve Smith does it, it's a problem. When does it was a problem. But anytime it's a quarterback that does the exact same thing in a passionate manner is definitively described different.
Shannon Sharpe
Correct.
Chad Johnson
Always been that way.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Always.
Mark Ocho
And it always will. So we're not going to change it by discussing it here tonight. People gonna look at it one way. It all depends on who's doing it.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
So that's where we are on that. One thing that Ben Johnson became known for as an offensive coordinator in Detroit was the trick plays. But Dan Campbell said trick plays are the least of his concern as he gets ready for Johnson's offense. You practice one or two things you do every. For every opponent. But I don't really care about trick plays. Let's just handle the meat potatoes of an offense on the defense and what we think they're going to hang their hat on. Let's stop that first. Let's worry about that. Let's make sure we're all on point and we'll handle the other stuff. They may hit us with one. That's. That's all right. That happens. Get back to the huddle. Let's get on to the next play. Ocho, you give the Bears a chance to beat Detroit in Detroit?
Chad Johnson
Absolutely. Absolutely. I think they. They have a. They have a chance in general simply because Ben Johnson knows the Lions very well. He knows the deficiencies in which they have defensively. He knows what he can attack and what he can attack. He knows what plays the call to play to the strengths of Caleb Williams and he knows Caleb Williams weaknesses as well. Again, collectively as a team. Offensively, they're going to have to play well. They're going to have to play well. And Caleb has to make all the right decisions when it comes to throwing the football. He got to make all the right decisions and be a little bit more accurate, huh? Because you're not going to get very many chances. The chances that you do have, you have to maximize on all opportunities. We have opportunity for big catches, big plays and touchdowns.
Mark Ocho
You do. And he let one slip. He had. He had D.J. moore, I think, and he overshot him. Obviously. He should have put that ball in there because they kind of blew the coverage and he kind of sailed it on him. Yeah, that's what you're saying. When you get opportunities like that, you get. When you get opportunity, when someone makes a mistake.
Chad Johnson
Gotta make.
Mark Ocho
You got to make them pay.
Chad Johnson
Gotta make.
Mark Ocho
Because guess what happens if a guy misses a block. If. If there's an unblocked defensive lineman, he's gonna hit your quarterback in the back and he's gonna make him fumble the ball. Yes, sir. So you've got to make them pay the ultimate price when they make a mistake. You got to hit your head on the goal post. You can't say, damn, man, I missed that up. No, you can't miss that because they're not going to miss that opportunity. I guarantee you, they get a free rusher, they're going to make a quarterback turn it over. That. And it's really. That's the gist of it. And you mess around and make a mistake on the other side of the ball, they're going to make you pay for it. So you need to make guys pay for the mistakes that they make. So if they don't have. If you have an unblocked lineman take the ball away, if they blow an assignment and the safety in the corner get mixed up about who was supposed to roll or take. You got to make them pay.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yes.
Mark Ocho
That's what you got to do. And I don't think the Bears did that because they had some opportunities the other night against Minnesota and Caleb Williams didn't make them pay. But when they got their opportunities, Minnesota made them pay.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Hey. Yeah.
Mark Ocho
And so that's what has to happen this week on the road. You're playing in a hostile environment. Yeah. They're familiar with each other. Obviously. Dan Campbell was the head coach, so he knows his 10. He knows Ben Johnson tendencies. Now, the thing is, the D coordinator, now, I don't know, he might been. Been brought up because obviously AG is the head coach of the Jets.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
But they kind of know. They kind of know what? What, What? Ben likes to run. Because guess what? In training camp, you script. Okay, I want to see. I want to see this defense against this formation. I want to see. I want to see this formation against this defense.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
Excuse me. So you set plays up, you're familiar with each other, even though the DC wasn't in the DC role when Ben was there. So. But you know, look, Caleb is on the clock. Caleb has to play better now because guess what? They're not going to blame Ben Johnson.
Chad Johnson
Nice. It's going to the quarterback. And listen, there was a graphic. I'm not sure what the graphic. What the graphic was, but in their first two seasons. Well, and then you look at the numbers in comparison when Mitch Trubisky was there and Caleb Williams, numbers look very similar. They look very similar.
Mark Ocho
They do.
Chad Johnson
They look very similar. So they do. I mean, I'm excited for that game. I think the winner in this game is whichever team could get the other to be one dimensional. The Bears got to be able to run the ball to be able to execute what they want to do offensively. And the same thing goes for the Lions. The Lions in their first game, they weren't really able to establish the run like they normally would with Montgomery and Gibbs. So this is the game where they need to establish a run so it can open up their offense so their office of play caller can be able to do more and open up the playbook.
Mark Ocho
Yep, you're right. They're gonna. I mean, both teams, because Green Bay did a great job of shutting down the run. And then guess what? Putting pressure on Jerry Goff. Yeah, that's what the Bears are going to try to do. Bears going to try to put pressure on golf because he's not mobile and he's not a guy that really makes plays outside of the pocket. He makes plays on script. Great play call. He can execute it. But now when you got to get our script rolling out of the pocket, throwing on the move. That's not what he's. That's not what he's good at.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
No.
Mark Ocho
And so the Bears are going to try to make him uncomfortable. Dennis Allen has done a great job. He's one of the better defensive coordinators in this league. And so we're going to find. We're going to find out. Somebody's going to 02. Yeah. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
No matter what. No matter.
Mark Ocho
Somebody's going nowhere, too.
Chad Johnson
Just like Saturday, huh? Just like Saturday. Both fighters, Canelo and Bud, got a zero. Somebody gonna have an L. We don't know who, but who's ever.
Mark Ocho
Canelo already got one loss. Remember, he lost.
Chad Johnson
I mean, okay, my bad.
Mark Ocho
He has two, actually, two losses, Mayweather and Boba.
Chad Johnson
Okay.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
I don't know. I'm, I just drew a blank trying to, trying to do the comparison.
Mark Ocho
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
These two teams.
Mark Ocho
But, but we're gonna find out. Caleb gotta, Caleb just got to make the plays and, but the thing, I think the biggest thing for Caleb is that, is he going to be a guy that makes like, make plays from the pocket? Yeah, he seems, he seems to like, he, he's better outside of the pocket making plays on the move.
Unidentified Guest/Co-host
Yeah.
Mark Ocho
And it's, it's hard to win a championship like that. Most guys look, that's auxiliary. Your meat and potatoes need to be throwing the ball from the pocket. Right.
Chad Johnson
He can do both though, huh? He can do, he can do both.
Mark Ocho
Well, we're about to find out. We're gonna find out.
