Yes Lord, yes. Shador Sanders. Oh yeah. What now Coach Prime? God is good. Shout out to Cocoa Butter brothers for sending us this video. LeBron James even weighed in. That young king looking good out there. Shador Sanders. Keep going up. Head down and grind and head high to the most and head high to the most. High. Jordan Schultz. Text from a high ranking AFC north executive on the Browns rookie Shador Sanders. It's early but wow. Actually shot how good he looks. Nike Football. When you get your opportunity, create the next one. Only matter of time. Yeah, Ocho. Yeah, we could look, we could pick two plays. Ocho. Well damn, he missed the Samstrong safety blitz where he had a guy ride over to the flat on 2nd and 18 and he skipped the ball to him. But you saw that over route that Brock Purdy throws so well in the San Francisco offense. You see him fit the ball into those Tight those small windows. Did you see him on the move? Throw that touch pass. Now, the receiver made a great one handed catch, but did you see the touch?

[Chad Johnson]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So take off your hand.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Listen, I wanted to see what Shador would look like in a situation that wasn't advantageous to him. He didn't get any reps, so as many reps as he should to prepare himself, to be prepared for a game like this, of this magnitude. Dylan Brooks hurt Kenny Picket her. Joe Flacco not playing. So the card that he was dealt to go into this game. Can you be a leader of men? Can you go in calm, show a presence of leadership, run the team, command the team, show that regardless of who's, Regardless of who's around you, you can still conduct yourself like quarterback one? He was calm under pressure, went through his progressions, made some great throws, had some Aaron throws. You know, obviously that's what film is for. That's what the precision is for. The fix, the fix, the nooks and the crannies to get him out. He looked like he belonged. He looked different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He did.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Andrew Barry, you made the right call. There's a reason that you wanted him. There's no reason he should have dropped as far as he did. You cannot tell me, as any scout of those 32 teams that didn't need a starting quarterback, but those that needed a quarterback and were in need of one. Watch film on Shador Sanders and what he did at Jackson State and we did at Colorado and said, you know what? No, that's not my guy. The quote you just read from the scout in the AFC north, if you watch film, what did you expect him to look like? He looked exactly like he looked in Colorado. He looked exactly like he looked at Jackson State. Calm under pressure in the pocket, going through progressions, making the right throws. That's what we expected to see.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What they expected to see and what some hope to see might be two entirely different things.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Talk to me now, now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hope, man. I show hope, man. I sure hope this happens, man versus expect to see what I wanted to see. I wanted to see exactly what you. What you wanted to see. I want to see. Could he play with poise? Could he throw the ball with conviction? Could he be decisive? Could he go through his progressions, the pocket collapses. Could he take off. He showed me some of everything. The over route, threw it on timing guy in his face, let him boom, right, dropped it right in the bucket. He fit those balls. A pressure in his face. The second touchdown. Pressure in his face. The first Touchdown. The corner slumps off the flat. The safety is hugging him. He piss it in, gets it in. Boom. On the move. The touch pass over the top. As I mentioned at the top, the receiver did make a great play, but Shador had a nice loft. That's not an easy throw to make. He was impressive tonight.

[Chad Johnson]

Very.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And a lot of people, they were in the chat last night. Let's see what Shador does. Let's see what Shador does. Well, hold on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know what they're going to say now? Oh, it's the preseason. Oh, he's not playing against their starters. Oh, he's playing against the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He didn't have the starters either.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, hello. Talk to him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I didn't see Jerry Judy, I didn't see Njoku. I didn't see the starting offensive line.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No Cedric Tillman. So this is what I have to say to those who are going to have another excuse. They're going to move the goalpost, right? Going to move the and say, well, he didn't. He wasn't going against the Panther starters. Well, obviously if he's not going against the Panther starters or if he doesn't have his starters as well and what he has at his disposal and look that good with the twos and threes and maybe the fours that are trying to make the team, what do you think gonna happen when he had the main characters in there around him, Right. That makes your job a little bit easier that are a little bit better at their position. The knows that he playing with the night. What you think gonna happen?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, they can try to move the goal post, but I ain't trying to kick a field goal or p. So I'm gonna score anyway. And Shador Sanders scored tonight. I'm gonna give credit where it's due. 14 to 23, 138 yards, two touchdowns, no interception. He got two sacks. Like I said, we can nitpick a couple of things. Yeah, strong safety, the Sam strong safety blitz probably like, you know what? But it looked like he was telling the guy, bro, I need you to hook up on that. You probably not going to be able to outrun the safety Lamar Jackson, hold on to the ball a little longer because he can outrun the safety, Josh Allen, same thing. That's not Shador. Shador is not a. A mobile quarterback. He's going to do all most. The majority of his damage is going to be in the pocket. I'm not saying he's Tom Brady, but he has the athleticism. That's not what he's Known for. Go ahead, Ocho.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This is the thing. What he lacks in athleticism and inability to get out the pocket. He has g. He has great pocket presence, huh? Being. Being able to move and being able to not telegraph, but understand when that clock is ticking and when it's time to get up out of there. Right. He can move extremely well within the pocket without having to take sacks. What about the third down, huh? The third down, we scrambled the D line, ran a stunt. He was able to get outside of it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know what I like the most? He saw the stunt and took off immediately.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes. Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what I like, Ocho. That's what I like. Oh, y'.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh. I don't know who's supposed to go first and who's supposed to look. I don't know who's supposed to eat or who's supposed to tea, and I don't know who's supposed to tea.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I tell you what, I'm gone.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm gone. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Y'. All. I tell you what y' all figured out in film study tomorrow. But in the meantime. In the meantime, I'm about to pick up this. About to pick up the first down he's played himself. He might have started after four, but after this performance, he can't be number four. Because here's the thing, Ocho, how Mike Shanahan told us something very, very interesting. He says, you can lose your job because of injury, because let me tell you what's going to happen.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If you get injured and you're out and a guy comes in and he's playing better than you before you got injured and is his job now. Ask yourself, was Dylan Gabriel, before he got hurt, was he playing better than what you saw Shador Sanders do tonight? Kenny Pickett? Ask yourself this question. Was he playing better than what Shador was? Than what Shador played tonight?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So if you can honestly ask his ass, answer those questions. Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And the thing about it, what people need to understand for those, that in the chat, it's one thing to have joint practices. It's one thing to practice against yourself and look good against your players. Everything's scripted on. Everything is scripted, even defensively in those joint practices at times. Because there's certain things they want to work on defensively, and there's certain things that you want to work on offensively. When you get into the game, nothing. Nothing is shared from team to team.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So it's a green light and everything going as if it's a real game. You're working your scheme, your game plan, and all you have to do is execute it in its simplest form. As simple as preseason games are from an offensive perspective in the way the players are called, and he did that tonight to a hell of a job. One hell of a job tonight. And it's really something to continue to build off of, clean up. There were some mistakes. Obviously, they're going to always be mistakes and things you can get better at.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

As you continue to see different looks, you're not going to get many looks. Obviously, it's the preseason. Everything you see defensively will be very vanilla. You know, cover two sometimes you might.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Throw in, you know, man, don't count the plays, Ocho. Make the plays count.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, and listen, he made him count the night on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's what you have to do when you're a low round draft pick, Ocho. Me being a no bar being being a low round draft pick, Ocho, you're not going to get the plays that a high round draft pick is going to get.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So don't go out there thinking that. But when is your time shine?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes, you got to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When is your time shine? And that. Hey, you say I don't count time. I make time count. Well, I didn't count plays, as my brother used to say. Hey, I know you ain't get that many refs. Keep your head up, because one day John Elway gonna call for you. He gonna look for you. You need to make sure you're ready. You need to be. Make sure you where you're supposed to be.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Shador didn't get a whole lot of reps, but when opportunity presents itself, that's what luck is. It's when preparation meets opportunity. Amundsen said, some call it luck.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm glad you just said what you just said. You just said Shador didn't get as many reps as he should have in practice, but he got into a game and what did he do? Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. But the refs that he did get in practice, he made those count. Because a lot of times I've seen it. I don't know if you've seen it on your. I've seen guys, man, I ain't getting no burn, man. I can't. And then when you get out there, you effing up.

[Chad Johnson]

You up. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Shador says, hey, these one or two reps I might get with the three. The threes and fours.

[Chad Johnson]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I gotta make these counts. These got to be my. This has got to be my best work of the Day.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because you know why, Ocho? It might be my only work of the day.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So if it's my only, it's got to be my best. Because this is the only time they're gonna see me on tape. They see me standing behind and you know, hey, I'm being positive. A good throw, a good catch, good run, good job, offensive line, good play call, coach. But at the end of the day, I need to get an opportunity to show you what I can do. And when the opportunity presents itself, that's what luck is. Preparation, meeting, opportunity. Amundson said some call it luck.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, hey, listen, I'm. I'm happy. I'm happy. I'm happy for Young Bull. I'm happy for young Bull. This is one of the few times I can't think of the last time that everyone was excited, excited about wanting to watch a Cleveland Browns game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Did you see all them people in the stands with the 12 and with the signs? Did you see all that, Ocho?

[Ryan Seacrest]

A Cleveland Browns game on the road.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cleveland don't travel like that. Trust me. I was in the same division with them jokers. Yes, sir. And guess what? We used to play them same, same. They don't trade. They didn't travel like that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And they ain't got no reason to travel because they've been bad a long time.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So listen, tonight we saw a very small sample size. We saw a very small sample size.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Of what Shador Sanders can look like. The fact that he played with the twos, with threes, maybe against twos and threes. But again, I say. I say this to say that what happens when he's with the ones having to run that same offense, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you. And you guess what? And you go and you. Game plan. I'm just calling plays arbitrarily. O.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's it. That's all they do tonight.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm not game planning. I'm not game planning because we normally game plan game three, right. We go back and now the coaches go back and they look at what they did last season and we script a game plan that's going to be what we think we're going to see on first down, second down, third down, third and short, third and long, just down in distance area of the field. First and goal, second and goal, third and goal. Now we're calling plays not just to arbitrarily call plays. We're calling plays with a purpose, for a purpose, and eventually they're going to get to that. But I was impressed. Look, I understand it's the preseason.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But for someone that didn't get as many reps.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Made the reps that he did get, he made them count in practice. And when he got his opportunity, when it. Opportunity presented itself, he took full advantage.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Tom Brady.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The opportunity presented itself, which is, hey.

[Ryan Seacrest]

When the rubber meet the. What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

When the rubber meet the road, man. And so Shador, he should. He should be proud of himself.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, him being who he is, raised, how he was raised. Supposed to say reared. I guess you raise livestock and animals. But anyway, big raised, how he was raised, he's not going to be. He's not going to be. He's not going to get. He's not going to get too high, Ocho, because guess what? Yeah, Even keel.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You got to stay even. Kill. You know why? Because not only having to deal with the noise on the outside, that's one thing, but now you got. You got to deal with the noise on the inside. Especially with the owner coming out just last week saying, that wasn't my pick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Handsome. How you. Yeah, how you doing?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Make sure Andrew Barry gets all the credit. Like you said, brother has them. Don't smile.

[Chad Johnson]

Don't.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Don't even. Don't say anything.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Start with S. He said, don't you say it. The nerve.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The gall. I'm appalled.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, I'm a David.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm gonna say it one more time, and this is for everybody in the chat. If. Even if you don't like Shador, even if you don't like them, how do you watch film, college film on Shador Sanders and every other quarterback that went before him and see what all of them have done and say, you know what? No, I'm a pass over him. That's not the guy I want.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't know what other teams that were in need of a quarterback. How do you do it? I'm just asking from a person that played the game of football and understanding. I have an eye. I have an eye. I played the game for a very long time at a very high level. I'm not saying I'm a scout, but I know what it's supposed to look like in. In situations that not. That are not advantageous for you. I just saw a young fella win at Jackson State, turn the Colorado program around that won one game regardless of what his. His record was in his totality, 23 and 12, whatever it may have been. I know what he can do when you got the right pieces around him. I know what he can do. He's a winner regardless of what situation he put him in. And he showed it again tonight, yet again tonight with his back up against the wall.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he just has the demeanor to be a quarterback. Nothing seems to impact him. He doesn't get too high. He doesn't get too low. He has the utmost confidence in himself. And most the good ones really do, no matter how bad. And we've seen it. No matter how bad it might be going, the really good ones, you know, if it's late in the ball game, they got a chance to beat you.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And Shador's in the situation where it's like. Doesn't make any excuses. And he always says the right thing. Listen, it's not as easy as you think to always say the right thing, because you're dealing with the human element of it. The human element of it. No matter how much you have, no matter how little you have, no matter how good you've been, no matter how bad you've been, you're dealing with the human element of it. And people have emotions, people have feelings. And so sometimes when people lash out and say things like, damn, man, you know, you take the amount of time. But he hears what's being written about him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's. He hears, he sees. If he doesn't, he's getting. Word is getting back to him. But I just love the way the man. He kept his head down, closed off his ears, and just did what he was supposed to do. He went to work.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And that's how you have to approach it. Don't get mad. I ain't trying to prove y' all wrong. I'm trying to prove me right. And in the process of proving me right, I'll prove you wrong. It was. It was a great job. It was his first outing. Like I said, those throws. It was the throw. It wasn't. So. It was. It was the throws that he made. Ocho, go back and take a look at that overball. And we see brock purdy throw 3 or 4 those a game to iuk. He used to hit Bre Debo on those plays. You'll KD on the over. Look at how he threw that ball, the timing of it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do you do. Do you understand the anticipatory skills you have to have as a quarterback with pressure coming at you? There was one. There was one. There was one overthrow he couldn't even see. Yeah, because on the replay, we couldn't even see him. We just saw the ball come out. So he's anticipating where the receiver was going to be. And he just made the throw and put it only where the receiver could catch it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That first touchdown people saw tonight, I don't think they understand how difficult the game is. I don't think they understand how difficult the game is. But he made it look like he's been doing it for a very long time. It's his first time. It's his first time in an NFL game, but he's used to it. Oh, Chad, look at his mannerisms. Look how he walked on the first down. Okay. He almost did the watch celebration. Say, you know what?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Look at the time, but it ain't time yet. And just, Just everything about him and being quarterback number one, just the way he carried himself, he was ready for the moment. No matter what they. No matter what they did, no matter what they said, just put me in a situation, just hand me the cards, give me the hand, and I'm gonna play it. And he did that just. Just exactly how he should tonight. The hand he was dealt, he played the hand very well. And it's only going to get better from here. It doesn't go backwards.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You don't.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You don't digress. I'm excited, and this is coming from a Bengal fan. I'm excited for the Browns to finally maybe have the answer at the quarterback position after trying 35 times over the years. You know, I. Man, listen, man, I can go on and on about this, but go ahead. You got it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think the thing is, the biggest thing that an athlete can have is the ability to believe that he belongs. He or she belongs. I was a seventh round draft pick. Shador was a five. There was 12 rounds when I was a seventh. There are seven rounds. He's a fifth.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But there is not one point in time that I didn't feel I belonged on that field because I saw a lot of these guys at the bowl games. I saw these guys at combine and I read about them and I remember calling my brother at the east west Shrine grass. I said, he do not better than me. They're not better than me. I don't care what they say. Yeah, I remember going to the combine. That man, I, you know, you know, what you think you read. I say, probably post 6, 4, 7. I said, but they're not better than me. They might be faster than me, but they're not better than me. I belong in the NFL. And when I went to Denver, all those guys that went before me, I'm like, ain't no way I Remember asking myself, how in the hell did you get drafted before me? Yeah, I said, but don't worry about it, don't worry about it. I said, it won't be long. It won't be. It was like the cat. When a girl said, boy, the cat got his tail caught in the washing machine. You know what he said, Ocho? He said, it won't be long now. He said she didn't know what he was talking about. His tail wouldn't be long anymore or it wouldn't be long before it all be over.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, man, that's the. And when we put the pads on, Ocho. Yeah, I'll never forget because you know the rookies, we went to camp before the vet, so we would go like a couple of days before the vet. So we would already be practicing right. In Denver before we headed up to Greeley.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I saw him, they was nervous, Ocho, like a long tailed dog with a porch full of rocking chairs. You know, somebody leaned back and go be on the table. You know what I'm talking about? Now I told they were nervous. I said, oh yeah, that's all I need to see. Just a little fear, just a little fear in a man's eyes because that's my, that's my greatest ability. Yes, another man's fear.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I like it, I like it. And listen, I know we've been talking about Shador, but listen, remember I told. Remember I remember what I told you about the Panthers, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Remember what I told you about the Panthers. If there's a dark a chat. Stay with me real quick. If there's a dark horse team that I believe in this year that is going to creep up and maybe make it run into the playoffs, I said it would be the Panthers. They didn't look bad. Bryce Young didn't look bad. Jaylen Cobra went crazy tonight. Tmac. The rookie from Arizona looked good tonight. I know Xavier Leggett got thrown out, getting into a little tussle. Listen, I love the passion. It's just preseason. That's fixable. That's fixable. But again, look how the Panthers look early in the game for those. I know everybody tuned in to watch the door, but I'm telling you right now, and I said it first, someone that's not much of a Panther fan didn't play for the organization. They owe me nothing. I'm telling you, the dark horse team for this season, the Carolina Panthers, Bryce Young and that receiving corps, I'm telling you, watch, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't never Been that hot in a preseason game? No, the tussle.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hell no.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They were going at it, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I. I don't really got no tussling practice, bro. Cause all I'm telling you what Dan Reeves gonna say, you fighting. That means we ain't working hard enough. Mike Shanahan say the same thing, right? We ain't working hard enough, bro. It ain't like. It is not bro. Them two hour, two and a half hour practice, man, please. With pads. And you had on pads in the. Oh, let me take that back. Ojo you have on. They call up see what they call shells with shoulder pads and shorts.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's not shells like they call it now. Basically got a little fitted a styrofoam stuff on that was not shells. When. When I got in the 90s, shells were shoulder pads and shorts.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Shorts.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you know, we hit. They. They were. We hit back then. 907 was live.

[Chad Johnson]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Team. Team was a solid th. It wasn't no touch. The guy on his like a two hand touch. Oh, no. You put shoulders on him, you put pads on him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You better come to balance and be ready.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I remember Dennis Smith. We call him Kahuna in Atwater, man. They come down in that box. Well, we had thumpers back then. Oh, yeah, man, please.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, Atwater ain't play, boy. Atwater coming downhill now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And Atwater wasn't the thumper like Dennis Smith. Kahuna was The Thumper. Number 49.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. More than Atwater.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, let's. Yes, Lord. Ocho, I saw that joke. Hey, at 2:05,210. Yeah, I saw him sit Lyman. Sit Lyman on the ass they pulling. He ain't never go low. Right up high, putting that shoulder in their chest. And sit him down at 210. At 210. Go back if y' all can find it. Go back and check the tape. He hit Roosevelt Potts. They both read. He pops come through the hole. He hit him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He was out cold.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Marion Butts. Hey, if you. If you a Charger fan, you know who. Because back then, Ocho, they had a big old big running back. They had big Marion Butts. They had Rod Bernstein. They had a big. They had Joe Caravello. Big joke Cox. I mean, they are. The tight ends were like 300 pounds. Offensive line, mammoth offensive line.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Kahuna run through him. Go back and look at that play with Dennis Smith hit. He had Marion Buss and he hit Roosevelt Potts.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know who else was a thumper too Remember? Remember Donovan Darius?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, I played against DD at Jacksonville, but that was back in the 90s. You had Chuck Cecil, you had Mark Carrier from Chicago. Yeah, boy, back then it wasn't nothing defenseless about that. They say you got him in the shoulder pads. What the hell you thought was gonna happen? You come across the middle.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh yeah, you gonna get that work?

[Ryan Seacrest]

What you gonna get that work?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Rodney Harrison.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh Rod coming with all forearm every time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I say hey bro. Hey, hey Sharp. Just stay on my knees, I say. Gotcha. But boy we tried. Boy, we definitely tried to hit each other in the mouth.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh yeah. Hey, that's a hard playing joker.

The Lions Falcons game was suspended after safety Mark Morris. Maurice. Maurice Norris suffered a serious injury in the fourth quarter. Norris head appeared to snap back after hitting the leg of Falcons running back Nathan Carter during a tackle attempt. He stayed down after the play was over and ended up leaving the field in an ambulance. That's it. Especially the preseason. They seem to be doing more of that now. Ocho. It's hard. I remember at college, Ocho, we moved a pile if somebody got hurt, right? Move it up 5 yards. Am I lying?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You even in the pros, it don't matter what happened, Patela. A keeley neck injury, head injury. They moved that thing up five yards. They let the training staff deal with that, and we continued on with practice, college and the pros. I ain't telling what somebody told you. I'm telling you what I know. Yeah, I've seen it seem like we've gotten a little more. A little more empathetic, right? As times have changed, they're like, man, that's a little callous, don't you think? You know, man, you know, serious injury. But I hope the young fella's okay. I saw this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Prayers for him. Prayers up for him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on. I'm trying to find that game right quick. I'm trying to get it. I'm trying to get it to pop up. The. The game is. You see right here. Oh, there it is, right there. It finally popped up. God. Nah, it's. Hey, what's that? You know, you be watching the Internet. I definitely can't find it, so maybe you can. Oh, there it is. Write that down. It's the Lions. Falcons. I'm looking. I'm looking all over, but, yeah, hopefully, young fella, thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. You know, obviously the family's watching. You know, it's preseason game, mocho, and you know, they watching to see their. Their brother, their cousin, their friend, son go out there and to see this happens. Obviously, everybody's on pins and needles, so praying that everything is okay and he has. Do we know what if he has use of his extremities. But our thoughts and prayers go out to the Norris family. Hopefully everything works out okay and he'll be back real, real soon. Tom Brady statue was unveiled at Gillette Stadium. Unfortunately, Ocho, he can't get one unveiled on a Sunday because he's busy on Sundays. Right, right with that. So they had to do it in the preseason. Let's take a listen to what Tom had to say.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But in the end, this statue isn't.

[Chad Johnson]

Just for Pat's fans.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It'll also give all the jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Every year.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Probably in the second quarter.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Maybe the third. That's a go talk. Hey, you know what? OO I met. I met. I mean, my last Pro Bowl.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I met Tom Brady, met his family, met all his sisters. He was great. He's always been great to me every time he see me. He has a. A memorabilia museum in the fountain blue.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Got an invitation, went to it. Got an opportunity to talk to him. Great. Offered him some insight on things, so forth and so on. He said, I really appreciate that. Said that means. That means a lot because you're very good at what you do. So had an opportunity to talk to him. But if anybody deserves a state, a statue, the only thing I'm mad about, 12ft tall, it need to be 20ft tall. It need to be like the Empire. It need to be like a Statue of Liberty.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But what that mofo did.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Listen, the greatest. When we talk about the greatest quarterback of all time, accolades, some of the games he's played. Listen, that New England Atlanta game, that game alone, that 283 comeback alone deserves a trophy. A statue by itself.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Uncle. You can play a video game, you can play Madden, and you could let somebody score 28 points, and you have three. The chance of you coming back on a video game is slim to none. If you're playing somebody that's good, let alone to do it in goddamn real life. Do you know how many things have to go right for you?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

To be able to come back in an NFL game of that. A game of that magnitude, down 28 to 3. What are we. What are we talking about?

[Shannon Sharpe]

We talking about it forever.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Unbelievable.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You know, the Bills came back. You know, the Bills came back and beat Houston. They were down, what, 30. What were they down, 30. They was down 32 to 3. They ended up winning. You remember Minnesota came back and beat the Colts. They was down, what, 33 to nothing. Some odd score, but the super bowl, that's the difference. And the guy that you're going against is the league mvp.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Mm. Hey, I got a question.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I want a statue.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, you better go to. What's your high school at Miami B Senior High High. Tag. You better. You. You better go in there and Tell them you're gonna go half on one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, no, no, no, no, no. I want mine. I want mine at, at Paycor Stadium. This is what I'm gonna do. The Browns don't have to do it. I' ma pay for it. And I'm gonna just put it out there myself.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lamar Jackson will have one next to Ray Lewis in Baltimore, right? Patrick Mahomes should have one, obviously. Peyton Manning has one. And Indy, right. Tom Brady goes without saying. I mean, you know, like, you know, with Kobe and Shaq and Kareem, like the Lakers, they got, they got. Okay, come on, something. I mean, some things you just like.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hold on. Listen. Well, bangles, 85. When you see the number 85, what's the first thing you think of?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know what, Ocho?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I need a statue.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If you'd had, if you'd have had Jerry's numbers, Randy's numbers, Tio's numbers. You know what, Ocho? I'd say, you know what, Ocho?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't, I don't have their numbers, you know, but the hand I was, the hand I was dealt, I played that motherfucker hand very well. And I'm a matter of fact, I'm going to put this thing. I'm going to go to Home Depot.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, think about the guys that got statues. Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Suga, two time defensive player of the year. I think he went to 12 Pro Bowls. He's probably 8, 8, 9 time All Pro, probably 7 time first team All Pro, Super Bowl MVP. We talk about Peyton Manning like, like when, like at the hall of Fame.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You have somebody as what they call a presenter now. He'll go up there and plead your case. Ocho. So let's just say I'm a writer in Cincinnati. I go up in the room and I plead Ocho's case. Ocho is a this many time Pro Bowler. He led the league in this. He did this. He has this many games.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning. And you sit back down. Tom Brady. And you sit back. I don't know. For no explanation. Peyton Manning.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Tom Brady. What am I explaining? What am I. What, what, what, what do I say, Ocho?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Right, so this is what you do, right?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You look at circumstance.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What it was like before I got there, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

32Nd worst team in the league.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think I was 28 when you were there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

30 seconds. Hold on, stay with me now. Stay with me. Hold on, stay with me. I get there, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I gave the city. L put us back in the national spotlight. You hear me? I can sell out. I can sell out a stadium.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Was it because you're winning or was it because your antics.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, it's called entertainment.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What is football? What is football? Entertainment. What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, but I understand that. Was it because you guys were winting or was. Because you were entertaining?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I did you did you what? What's. What's more difficult to do to be losing and still put butts in the seat? Because. Who wants to come watch that?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y' all ain't got nothing else to do.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, what y' all gonna do? Go across the river, go to Louisville? The Kentucky Derby going on that time of the year. I'm telling you, ain't nobody want to eat no Skyline Chili. Jordan say it ain't that good. Anyway.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I never had Skyline chili. I ate at Waffle House in. In Covington, and I had. McDonald's was right across the street from it. But. But needless to say, I'm gonna put. I'm gonna. And I'm just. They gonna have to take it down.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, good luck with that. Let me know how that work out for you. But I was looking at Brady's statue.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And all the accolades that it had on it, all the super. The Roman numerals for the super bowl and the Super Bowl MVPs and the regular season MVPs and the 5,000 yard passing season and all this and all that. When you look at it, you just like. I mean, the man played what he played 23 seasons. If you chop his seasons up 7, 7, 7, he's at no worse. The second greatest quarterback ever. If you take. If you just take his first seven seasons, okay, Ocho. Take his middle seven seasons, okay, Ocho. Take his last seven seasons. You be hard to say that he's not top two, top three, even with that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, absolutely. You know what that remind me of, too, with that reference? To give people context. Take Kobe when he was 24. And take Kobe when it's. When he was number eight. It's the same thing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's almost identical. Even where he revisited himself and changed his number.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. So more jerseys.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's kind of like when LeBron went to Miami and got six.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He was 23 in Cleveland. He goes. Goes to Miami, he's six. He goes back to. Goes back to Cleveland. He's 23. He goes to LA, he's 23. Then he gets. Doesn't he get six again or. He always say, oh, what you call him said he was going, he moved, he changed numbers. Anthony Davis. LeBron was never six in LA, was he? I think he was, yeah. But, man, but Tom, congratulations. I mean, if anybody is deserving of a statue, and there have been some. Some people in history that was very deserving, but when we're talking about sports, man, I wouldn't even be. I wouldn't even be mad if they retired number 12 across the league.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hold on. Well, let's retire 85, too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, man, Ocho, you can't just retire the number. Bad. Like I said. And you know what, Ocho? I might have a. You might have a compelling case if you had Jerry's number.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Who. No, I have a compelling case without Jerry's numbers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, you don't. To retire 85 across the league.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, listen. Hey. Ask the chat right now. When you see the number 85, what's the first thing that come to your mind? No matter what team it is? Ask him. Tell Ash to put up a poll. When you see the number 85, what is the first thing that comes to mind? What? You trick. You tripping.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nick Bonacani. Mark Duple.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, this is. Hey, let me say something. See, it's hard for the old folks to understand, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What I did for the game. What I did for the game is so much bigger than numbers. Folks really don't. They don't even realize it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They'll do a statue for your word. For your. Your word. Spoken word speech.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, I got another. I got another spoken word can. You want to hear it?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, I have 32, 000 people in the chat. Want to hear it?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay. Okay, Here we go. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hey, uncle froze dinner. Yeah. You're not moving. Yeah. Or is that. Is that. That ain't never on. Oh, talk to me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm frozen.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is it. Is that. Is that on your end? It ain't on my end. I'm. I'm away. I'm way. You can hear me, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

My wife. I got all my bars. I mean, I met. I met a cigar bar.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What we need to hear. Dash.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, Chad. Y' all get ready for this spoken word. I was on a plane coming from New York today. I left New York around 2 o' clock, and I sat down and I wrote something very special that I think. I think y' all would like. Let me. Let me know when you're ready. I'm waiting to unfreeze.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Texas said we're not ready yet.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, Unc. Disappeared. Chat. Y' all still there? Okay, okay. The chat can hear me. Okay. Hey, chat. Listen, listen. Chat while I'm getting situated, so. Excuse me. You know, I do spoken word. You know, I have. I have many jobs, I have many hobbies, many passions that I like and I love and. Oh, are we good? Okay. And Chad, I do spoken word. A lot of people don't know about that, but again, I. I tell people all the time. I was a drama major. I was a theater major. And this is just a part of something that I've always been passionate about. And I have something that I wrote that I want y' all to hear tonight. And this is. This is for the ladies. Let me know when you're ready. Wrong.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm ready.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Your smile is like a sunrise chasing away the night Sometimes I look at the clouds and your touch is like a gentle breeze A warm and soft light My heart, forever yours, a love so true for you, my love, it will always be true for beneath the wings that I have, you will always be the one that I call on. If at any moment you're feeling sad, just remember one thing My love is only for you. How was that? You like it?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I mean. I mean, it's. It's. It's. It's not Lorenz Tate Love Jones, but it's getting better.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that was that. It was getting better, right? Like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, that was.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That was real. That was sentenced to sentimental. Like that came from the heart.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You see, There you go right there. Look at. See how you. Look what they did. See how they got you?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's me.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But God damn, what's wrong with me?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, you got a mouth full of teeth now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, I wrote. I wrote that on the plane. I wrote that on the plane coming back from New York, you know, earlier.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Earlier today.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I'm just. You know, I'm. I'm getting better. I'm getting better, and at some point, I'm looking to write a book on all my poems, and I. I think that would be, you know, a New York bestseller.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Yeah, that's. That's definitely possible, Joe. I like that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Matter of fact, this is. This is. We might really be on to something because what we can have is. Is, you know how we do spell out. Spell Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cinco, fellow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Cinco. We can have every so often a segment where I do spoken word and give y' all some of my art.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, we working on it. You know, we work it up, we can come up with a segment. The Spoken word by Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

Right?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I like that. I like that. I like that. Hey, Chad. I appreciate y' all and enjoying that. And that came from the heart.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But there haven't been many more deserving players in the history of our game.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That deserve this as much as Brady.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, you address Mr. Brady, but when you meet him, you call him Tom. Cause, you know, I mean, a lot of people don't like for you. I mean, when we teammates, we call everybody by their last name, but everybody don't like to be called by their last name. Especially if you don't know them like that.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You call somebody by their last name, people feel like you really know me or you know them. But Tom is. He's amazing. I mean, he doesn't like, even like, when I was on Undisputed, I thought I was fair. Some people say I'm overly critical of Tom, but, you know, when Tom played well, I give him his credit. When he plays bad, I'll say, okay, he played bad, but he was always like, hey, I gotta give you credit. You definitely call it like you see it. But he's like I said, some people you just meet and they're like, great. And I can see why his teammates like him. I really can. The little bit that I've been around in Mocho, I can see why they like him. I can see why everybody likes him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah Geno Smith and Max Crosby caught making obscene gestures towards Seahawks fans In photos and videos that have circulated on social media, a Seattle fan appeared to make a gesture and say something towards Smith, who played five seasons in Seattle. As Raiders waited outside their tunnel to take the field. Smith respond responded by holding up both his middle fingers toward the fan before running onto the field. Crosby made the same gesture while running on the field. Gonna probably cost him Roger. You know Roger not gonna be happy about this. That's probably 25. What'd you pay? 25 or 50 preseason game.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I've seen Jester just a middle finger. I say maybe 2020. Listen, first offense, there's no need to go crazy with the fine. Just just send a message. Listen, this is something that we're not going to allow. We know the fans can be rowdy. You're returning back where you played. They're going to say some nasty things to you. Control yourself, be able to control your emotions. It got the best of you in that situation. So we go boom, here's the slap on the wrist. We're going to take 20 from you, make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I like the fact that Max Crosby still got for his teammate.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I mean he might be. Look, if you on my team, you might be effed up. You messed up to us. You ain't messed up. You ain't effed up to them.

[Chad Johnson]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

So. Nah, they ain't. We're not gonna get down like that. We ain't let you say nothing slick about our teammate.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I like it and you know what, Ocho? Hell, we might not like him just as much as you don't, but guess what? In front of company.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

In front of company.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a whole different ball game. Yeah. I agree with you. I think it's probably gonna be 25, 000, you know, hey, if it happens again, blah, blah, blah, so forth and so on. Because that's not, you know, Roger, you know, they'll. The wording of it. That's not, you know, that's not what we want to portray or project to our fans. We want to say that we appreciate our fan.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And we do. But when you start flipping the fans off, I mean, flipping the players off, everybody ain't gonna. Everybody ain't gonna be. Job ain't gonna be cool with that. Ojo.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, listen, everybody's not gonna like you, too. Especially when you played for a team for a very long time. You return back to that same team, and you know how. You know how fans are.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They traded him. Why you mad at him?

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's not the way they think. That's not the way they think. They. They always say, oh, you're disloyal. Their loyalty lies with that team. So when you come back and you're on another team, win another jersey, oh, you know, they gonna go crazy. They're going to go crazy. Yeah, they gonna go crazy. But that's. That's neither here nor there. They gonna. They gonna be all right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. CD Lamb was asked which Cowboys DB has given him hell in training camp. His response? Honestly? None of them. They haven't given me hell. But I will say it's great competing with these guys. That what he should say.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, who's got. Over there? Ain't no. Ain't no pass or tans. Ain't no ties, ain't no reuses.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't no Neil Williams. Ain't none of them. Ain't no great. I mean, hey, Diggs was on that trajectory, but injuries could kind of rob him of some of that. What he possessed.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So, you know, but. But he was really like. He's like. He was a receiver coming out of high school, so he has great hands. He has great anticipatory skills. So the best thing to do for you is double move him.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because he. Look, hey, now, he gonna get you. He gonna win some. You gonna win some. But you just make sure you know when you win. Cause he gonna take a chance now. He gonna take a chance.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And so I think the injury, the knee, I think he had another. What do you have? I think he had another. I think he tore his ACL one year. Then he had another injury this past season. And so I think it's a situation that's kind of robbed him of some of his ability. But I expect CD Win.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right. Expect. When we talk about the Cowboys, too, I think when Trayvon Diggs went out, is it Daron Bland? I'm not sure if I'm saying this right. Chat y' all let me know if I'm saying this right. Right. The Ron Bland, when he came in, he made exceptionally well.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Made exceptionally well interceptions. And he was making play after play after play, six after pick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Six.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm not sure if he's back. I think he might be. He might be injured as well. And if there's any type of competition that would probably give CD Lamb troubles, if it would probably be Brother Land, based on his skill set now, how good he is, and he's familiar with CD Lamb's game. But other than that, I don't see any. I don't see anybody in camp that would give City any issues.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Especially if he's in the slot. You got too many. I mean, it's hard, man.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because the thing is, like, when you're in the slot, Ocho, I'm trying to bump you into people, I'm trying to push you into such and such. And he's trying to do the exact same thing, but when there's nobody there in over, just me and you and he in the slot.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Do you where this man can go win that any.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Every time? Yes. Listen, CD Lamb is very, very, very, very. He is savvy, very savvy in the mismatches. Once he goes in that slot, it's so much, so much.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He can run Zaro. He can run. He can run the. The whip. He can run the shallow. I mean, he could. Hey, he. He can run the. The basic cross. He can run seven. He can run a sale. He can run an out.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He run a post. He run a far cross.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He can't defend all that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's too much.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And plus, ain't nobody rushing the quarterback.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But no, look, CD Is. You know, I like your response. I ain't got no problem with that. Hell, ain't nobody really giving me hell. I just like to compete.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You got. Listen, you got to talk like that, too. You got to talk like that. So, you know, we talk when we talk about the best five receivers in the game right now. CD Lamb, name is always in the conversation, at some point, he might want to. He not. He might not be one or two, but in that three, four, and five, his name comes up. So when we ask you about somebody giving you trouble in camp or who's giving you the most, it shouldn't be nobody.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If I pay you $34 billion, nobody better give you. No, you better not have no problem with nothing with nothing. Unless you on the team with. With certain or Stingley or some Ramsay or somebody like that. Other than that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, no.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Aaron Rodgers was asked by CBS Sports to create the perfect receiver based on speed, size, hands, high point ability, and football iq. Rogers selected Randy Moss high point ability, Julio Jones for speed. He added two of his former teammates for the mix. Devontae Adams for football, football IQ and Jordan Nelson for hands. And then he selected DK for size. What did he get right? What did he get wrong? Ocho, I think I like that high point ability. He got Randy Moss.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He got. Julio did he got football iq, Devonte Jordan for hands, DK for size.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay, well. Well, obviously there's a. There's a. There's a very important aspect in that that's missing, and that would be route running.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I guess they didn't give him that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Size, hands, high point ability, football iq.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, we gonna. We're gonna add. We're gonna add footwork and route running, which is very, very vital importance when it comes to, you know, all that stuff you just named is great, but if you ain't able to create no goddamn separation. Yeah, but we just gonna throw my name in the pot because Aaron Rodgers would have probably said me anyway when it came to that. Boom.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gonna say you?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, we definitely gonna say me. Hey, still to this day, I still have the greatest feet ever known to man, to ever touch grass. The greatest. Listen, my feet, matter of fact, this is what's so funny, huh? This is what's so funny, right? Everyone, everyone else in the NFL. In the history of the NFL, all receivers got paid based on their ability to play the position and catch the ball. I'm the only receiver in the history of the game. On my contract, we are paying you millions of dollars simply because of your fee. It's on the contract. I can show it to you. I got a copy of it at the house. They paid me millions of dollars simply for my fee, which is unbelievable. I might. I was the first and the last in the history of the game. I can prove it to you. I promise you. I tell you, no lie. I'm gonna put my three fingers up like, like, like 47. Like 45 and 47. Do.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, theoretically, I mean, you want to say size? You could say. I mean, Randy. I mean, Randy could be for speed too. Tyreek. For speed. Julio. I mean.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I got a question. Please tell. You remember when Randy caught that hitch route against the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Was that Thanksgiving? That might have been Thanksgiving. Yeah, I remember the DB took the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wrong angle and he outran the. The. The. Not pursuit. What's the word? What's the word? Not pursuit.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He outran the hagel.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh my God. That's not supposed to happen. Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, that's not.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's not supposed to happen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, it took it. I mean, look, if you let him unwind now because he a long strider, you let him unwind on you, it's a rap.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You taking seven steps is two of his.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Oh, he, he came in and. And you look 17 touchdowns as a rookie. I don't know if we're going to see that anytime soon.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He was different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He was different. He was. He and the stuffy man they got right before the half this Joe caught a pass. We had him trapped in the middle of the field. He throw it back over his head to Mo Williams.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I say, man, what is this? And boy, they let that cat. Boy, they started going crazy. Oh, man. Yeah. I said, it ain't looking good for the home. It ain't looking good for the visitors. That was us. But I like, I mean, high pointability Randy, because Randy had tremendous leaping ability, football iq. You like devonte, Jordy, like Jordy's hands. Dk. I mean, it's hard to argue. Six, four, two, three.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Huge anchor and can run.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I like if missed. Nick Chubb says he belongs in the Derrick Henry category. Entering age 30 season, Chubb said he believes he can join Henry in remaining a top running back despite general expectation of age related decline past 30. Henry is different. You're not going to put him in that category. He showed is not true. And I think that applies to me. I'm in a category with, with them. I'm different. I feel good as I, as I've been. Ocho, what is your expectations for Chubb with the Texans?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think, I think it's going to be fine. I think we view Chub a little bit differently now because of the injuries.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We should.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, listen. But Chub should be in the conversation. Exactly. With Derrick Henry and I think he would be if it wasn't for the ACL injury he would be based on the trajectory in which he was on. Very good. Very serviceable back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Head off the goal post. Very, very difficult to tackle the the first man they never bringing him down ever. He was exactly like Derrick Henry in a sense. Different style of back in a sense. You know, but still.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Maybe I would agree with you had he not had those injuries. I mean he tore his ACL in college. He tore tor. I think he's. This is the second time he's torn in the NFL.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's the only thing. But, but listen, can he do it? Adrian Peterson did. We're gonna find out. We're gonna find out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well last year was his Agent Peterson season when he came back. Remember? He came back.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now look, we people need to stop that because what AP did everybody think. Oh man, he man, you see what it bro.

[Chad Johnson]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

AP ain't what. No, it isn't normal. He wasn't normal.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're not supposed to tear your ACL in December and come back and be the MVP the following year. Rush for 2097. His last running back. He's the last non quarterback to win the MVP.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That was 2012.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And unless somebody does have a tight, that tight season again, they're not winning it. Quarterback just puts up too many numbers, Ocho.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I mean listen. And matter of fact, even with the game the way it is now, it's a pass happy league. How long before you think we see Adrian Peterson type back again anyway? It's going to be a very long time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Because Adrian Peterson was a collision back and most backs Saquon don't run the collision. Derrick Henry is a collision back.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but I don't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But to be able to. But think about it, Ocho. To be able to collide that long and to wreck up those yards. You look at the guys. Look at Earl Campbell with a collision back. He got seven years.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but also you, you, you view, you view Adrian Peterson as a collision back. But he's also a back that can shake you and take it to and hit the head post too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But he ran the contact. He wasn't. Look, listen. Andrew Peter was looking to run you over and then, and then when you brace yourself to get run over now he gonna shake your ass up, come right by you.

[Chad Johnson]

Yep.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yep. It's a funny thing. He, he. Agent P is the type of back that will instill fearing you. Yeah. In the game and then matter of fact Remember when Ray Lewis saw Ray Lewis in that defense, saw Adrian Peterson for the first time.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And it was the first running back to have over 100 yards against that defense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There were some collisions in that game.

[Chad Johnson]

Now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. If, yeah, but I, I He says he belongs in that category, and maybe people would be willing to put him in that category. But I, it's hard when you coming off of three ACLs.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Before the age of 33 or 2. Didn't he tear the ACL in college?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he tore in college, but he, he tore with the Browns. That's only two.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How many times a chub. Terry's knee? Just two. There's two. So once in college and once in.

[Chad Johnson]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. My mistake. Thanks for the correction. But this, this last thing was severe. Yeah, he tore his acl. What is he, Terror pcl. Mcl. As. She's looking for that. Yeah, yeah, he had, that was, he had a severe. I mean, it was almost like Robert Edwards. Remember Robert Edwards?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yeah. When he playing on the sand. Playing on the sand.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He played with the dog, that is. Yeah. Yeah. Napoleon McCallum, he had a very serious injury like that, too.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think it was a Monday night game when, uh, Napoleon McCallum did what he did. As a matter of fact, that might have been.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And then in Georgia.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He didn't tear his acl. Okay. But they told everything else but his acl. Okay. The same knee or different knee? Oh, it's gonna be hard for that knee not to be arthritic. Yeah, he gonna be bone on bone. Good boy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, Chubb over there in Tennessee, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, he with the Texans.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, yeah, I'm thinking of the T. The T word. Texas.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Him and him and mixing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, listen, that's a nice little combo, too, boy. Yeah, that's a nice little one, two combo, but it kind of almost.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, the old Oilers went to Tennessee. Yeah, but I don't think that's what you meant.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, no, it's not. It's not. I mean, I meant to say I just heard the T word. But listen, they got two of the same back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I guess they wanted, they would. They want to, you know, hey, get a lead and run there. I don't want to have to throw it. The Dolphins had a disappointing joint practice with the Bears today. Tua 3 interception, Alexander Madison, two fumbles, and Mike McDaniels had to break up a fight.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you think about your three interceptions, two fumbles, and you fighting?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I, I don't. Listen, I, I don't take much from that. Obviously, that's what practice is for. In practice, you're going to have mistakes. You're going to have turnovers. That's where the mistakes need to be made. But let's see what happens tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken, they play tomorrow, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think so, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Let's see. Let's see what they look like in the game when the lights are on. Like, practice is one thing. Ah, it's the same. There's really no pressure defensively. All you gotta do is read and react. There's no, there's no. No penalty. You know, for. For. For touchdowns. No penalty. You know, I think it's. I take it with a grain of salt, in a sense, and like, okay, listen, this is what we need to work on. We can't be doing this. We can't be doing that. I know the stat line, it looks bad. The fighting is preseason. It's practice, you know, joint practice. Name one joint practice. But they don't fight. We talk about.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm just saying, have we played that bad? Oh, we practicing after that practice. Mike Shannon have us out there practicing after that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't no way John gonna throw three interceptions, TD drew from the ball two times. And we. And, and we fight. And you think you go into the locker room. Oh, man, please.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know where they do that at.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Listen, I know one thing. If you look that bad in practice, in the joint practice, if you look that bad with a stat line like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

When you get out there in the first preseason game. Because I know. I know the ones are going to play. Mike McDaniels has to allow the ones to play. Because if you look like that, then you have to have them play to make sure they get whatever kinks or whatever going on. Whatever you need to get, get right and get fixed. Yeah, right now. I mean, I doubt it looks like that in the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look, I don't know how anybody else did it, but I just know. Oh, you not finna make no mistake and then talk about. Okay, yeah, we good. No, hell we not.

[Chad Johnson]

Nah, nah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Mike, like, hey, Mike, be down there. Run it again now. We got it, Mike. No, hell we don't. You not fitting to end on no bad play. You not fitting to end on no mistake. Have a. Have a pick, have a fumble and a drop. Five plays, six plays into a ten play period, right? And see what you started over. Like I said, I don't know what y' all I don't know what y' all did last night.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you're not gonna come out here and do it today. Oh, no. And you know, you take stuff for granted, Ocho. You like, man, come on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you, as you get an appreciation for it.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you understand why. Why you did certain things and the benefits of it from him doing it that way. Because at the time, like, man, bro, we ain't got but two, three more plays left, and we gonna start the whole period back over. No, just start that. Just run that play again, man. That man started the whole period over like it was nothing, right?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Without a care in the world.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's like, y'.

[Chad Johnson]

All.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y' all got other jobs. I mean, you. I mean, what's going on? Because, I mean, you. You. You. You're like. You try to get out of here. You got somewhere to go?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This your job. Yeah, you. Yeah, you right? So we started. I tell you what we started finding. You drop a pass. $5. Drop it on. On Friday is $10. Jump offside, $5. $10. Oh, interception. Oh, yeah, man, we've been able to do this, man. Come on, now.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, we.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We had. We had a little. We had a little pot, too, in Cincinnati. No drop, drops, missed blocks. You know, put a little. Yeah. And at the end of the year. At the end of the year, I forgot. I forgot how it went. But. But somebody. Somebody. Somebody got that money. Somebody got. I forgot. Forgot who it was. But listen, when you have practices like that, obviously there's an advantage for the defense anyway, because all they doing is reading, reacting. They are reading and reacting. And I think what camp has been, what, almost two weeks now? Yeah, almost two weeks. The defense is going to be so far ahead of the offense, especially in the joint practice. So I. I take that, you know, with a grain of salt. Okay. Boom. We have things to fix. But on game day, it's completely different. It's gonna be completely different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't think. I don't. Look, I've had a lot of joint practices.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't think we ever had a day. I don't. I can't never remember three interceptions and two fumbles.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because all I know is that, hey, we talk. Hey, did y' all win today? I don't know about if we. But I did, right? I cooked. I cooked all of them. All of them. The whole Dolphin secondary, I cooked them, right? The whole Cardinal secondary, I cooked them. The whole Carolina secondary, I cooked them.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh. Oh, yeah, for sure. Cause, you know, it's the thing, you know, hey, you're not fitting. You know, they doing the same thing. And that's what I wanted to say earlier. Ocho, man, you cool. I mean, enjoy practice. You on one knee next to Carolina. You on one knee next to the guys. So it ain't like a gate cup game. You on your sideline, they're on their sideline. Joint practices. Look, I understand it's a different team, but the. But the feel of it is different. Yeah, you talking, it carried on and so forth and so on, but it. It's not the same. Now you start talking, it turned. Turning to. It turned real quick. It turned real quick.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, don't knock down no pass on one. Don't worry about it. Now. Now, 84 got to get up off a knee.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, you got to come see me. Okay, Now. Hey, let's restore some order. All that jumping around.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All this did I ain't gonna happen right? Hey, yo, daddy. See, I don't know where they came and got it strapped bad. Please. Hey. Hey. Everything I catch, I spiking on you.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Adam. Joint practices are so fun, though, man.
