- Ocho: Reads out the list of QBs the Broncos have beaten in 2025, noting Herbert is among the most sacked in the league.
“Jackson Dart is—excuse me, Jackson Dart—Justin Herbert is one of the most sacked quarterbacks. I think he’s top three in sacks. Do you really want him facing the Broncos?” (03:38)
- Ocho: Agrees, highlighting the unpredictability any given Sunday, but sticks to the Broncos defense consistently showing up.
“When you look at the Broncos this season, how many times have the defense had a bad game? Not very many.” (04:47)
2. Aaron Glenn on the Hot Seat with the Jets
Segment Start: [06:05]
- Chad: Details reports that Jets DC Aaron Glenn's job is "not safe" after a bad late season performance.
“Glenn was a very popular coach prospect... but this is starting to feel like Gerard Mayo in New England last season. Glenn is not safe.” (06:35)
- Team’s embarrassing losses are dissected, with a sense that ownership is losing patience:

“That sucks. One year... on a team that was already bad before you got here. That’s up.” (08:43)
- Chad: Connects the situation to lack of quarterback talent, recalling similar short fuses for Steve Wilks and others:

Segment Start: [15:43]
- Chad: Stefanski, amid rumors he's on the hot seat, avoids discussing job security and focuses on the next game.
- Ocho: Argues his fate should be aligned with other embattled coaches:

- Chad: Describes the Browns’ cycle of resets, noting the impact (or lack) of the Deshaun Watson trade:

- Ocho: Predicts the Browns will lose the final game and suggests their window has closed.

- Chad: Details how other teams (e.g., the Texans) have succeeded with draft capital:

“It’s up to that guy to pan out... to the Browns itself and being able to develop players... based off what you see on film.” (22:26)

Highlight Segment
Segment Start: [45:26]

“I only have 32 targets. There are only zero cornerbacks that had only 32 targets through 600 snaps... Only like 50% got completed. Two touchdowns allowed. One was on a busted coverage... Am I missing something?” (45:26)
- Ocho: Backs Sauce as a top-five corner, pointing to the low number of targets as proof WRs and QBs respect him:
“He’s still a very, very, very good man-to-man corner and he can take away a team’s best receiver and he does follow the number one receiver… He needs to be in that top five conversation.” (46:18)
- Chad: Playfully jabs at Sauce’s hands:
“No, he don’t have hands, that’s why he don’t have interceptions. He can’t catch.” (47:28)
