Nightcap - Hour 2: NFL shows out for HBCU, LT calls out Micah Parsons, Kupp in Washington?

Summary

Club Shay Shay – Episode: “Nightcap - Hour 2: NFL Shows Out for HBCU, LT Calls Out Micah Parsons, Kupp in Washington?” Release Date: February 26, 2025

In this riveting episode of Club Shay Shay, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe delves deep into the latest NFL developments, focusing on the league's engagement with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), critiques surrounding Micah Parsons, and the potential move of star wide receiver Cooper Kupp to the Washington Football Team. The episode is rich with insights, lively debates, and expert analysis, ensuring listeners are well-informed on current NFL dynamics.

1. NFL and HBCU Spotlight

Shannon Sharpe opens the discussion by highlighting the NFL's recent efforts to showcase talent from HBCUs. The league's initiative at the HBCU Combine aims to provide greater visibility to players from these institutions, ensuring that talent from all backgrounds receives the recognition it deserves.

Shannon Sharpe [10:42]: "All 32 teams attended the HBCU combine. We can't make an NFL team grab HBCU players or pick them, but you can show what their abilities are."

The conversation emphasizes the importance of scouting from a diverse range of colleges, noting that standout players like Bobby Curtis have the potential to make significant impacts in the NFL.

2. LT Critiques Micah Parsons

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to LT (likely referring to a prominent linebacker) calling out Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys. The debate centers around Parsons' vocal presence off the field and its perceived impact on his performance and team dynamics.

Ocho Cinco [06:20]: "He doesn't hide. No, he talks. He talks when he wins, he talks when they lose. I think more fans should embrace that."

However, the discussion isn't one-sided. Another speaker raises concerns about Parsons' tendency to praise other players while seemingly undervaluing his own quarterback, Joe Burrow.

Sports Betting Advertiser [06:39]: "The only problem I got with Micah is that he talks so positive about everybody else players, but he doesn't talk positive about his own quarterback."

The debate underscores the delicate balance athletes must maintain between personal expression and team cohesion.

3. Cooper Kupp’s Potential Move to Washington

The episode also explores the rumors surrounding Cooper Kupp's potential transition to the Washington Football Team. Shannon Sharpe and his guests analyze the implications of such a move, considering both the strategic benefits and the challenges it might pose for Washington.

Sports Betting Advertiser [46:05]: "He will have a market because he's so quarterback friendly. Certainly Washington is looking to make big moves this offseason."

Ocho Cinco expresses optimism about the potential acquisition, highlighting Kupp's versatility and how his addition could alleviate pressure on Washington's receiver Jaden Daniels.

Ocho Cinco [46:29]: "Terry McLaurin. You add Cooper Kupp. I think Naomi Brown is still there. It takes some of the pressure off Jaden Daniels."

4. Athlete Podcasts and Their Impact

A notable segment of the episode debates the rising trend of athletes hosting podcasts. While some argue that such platforms allow athletes to voice their opinions and engage with fans directly, others believe it can be a distraction from their primary focus on the game.

Sports Betting Advertiser [21:03]: "If you were playing today, would you have a podcast? I wouldn't. I'm too focused."

Conversely, Ocho Cinco defends athletes who engage in media ventures, emphasizing that it doesn't necessarily detract from their on-field performance.

Ocho Cinco [07:36]: "The podcast doesn't take anything away from him. On the action football field, between the lines, when the whistle blows, you know what you're getting."

5. NFL Combine Insights and Player Evaluations

The conversation delves into the NFL Combine, discussing standout performances and potential draft picks from smaller schools. There's a consensus that talent can emerge from any institution, provided players demonstrate exceptional skills and work ethic.

Sports Betting Advertiser [10:42]: "We played Central Florida, and we played teams like Georgia Southern. A scout's gonna be there. Oh, I'm gonna shine."

6. Offensive Line and Team Dynamics

Shannon and his guests analyze the recent coaching changes in the Cowboys' offensive line, stressing the pivotal role of the offensive line in establishing a "violent" and aggressive offense.

Clayton Adams [29:43]: "The same thing I want to see, the same thing I want from every player on offense, and that is to create violence in the game."

Ocho Cinco agrees, emphasizing that success begins with a strong and cohesive offensive line.

Ocho Cinco [30:26]: "Everything you want to do, whatever you set your eyes to, it all starts with the offensive line."

7. Personal Anecdotes and Reflections

Throughout the episode, personal stories and reflections add depth to the discussions. From reminiscing about legendary defenses to sharing experiences from high school football, these narratives provide listeners with a more intimate perspective on the game and its evolution.

Ocho Cinco [43:50]: "That's why you think I always speak so highly of Randy Moss and others. I've been watching the game for a very long time."

Conclusion

This episode of Club Shay Shay offers a comprehensive look into current NFL topics, blending expert opinions with personal insights. Shannon Sharpe adeptly navigates through debates, ensuring listeners gain a well-rounded understanding of the discussed subjects.

He tweeted lol. I wonder, do people hate my podcast because it's actually good or do people hate it because it's bad? Because hella people in the NBA and NFL have podcasts and no one has a problem. I look at oo I'll beat I'll beat you the F up if you stop your podcast. You have a voice and a platform. Use it or deal with the consequences from me.

[Ocho Cinco]

Listen, I like it. I like the podcast. I like the era that we're in. Obviously, the national media was in control of the narrative and the perception of athletes. I like the fact that athletes now have a voice. They cut the middleman out. They cut the middleman. And I like the fact that I don't think it gets in the way. I don't think it's a distraction. Because when it's time to play the game of football and that whistle blows, everything on the outside of that, it doesn't matter. You don't see it, we don't see it. I don't know how other people operate where they allow things on the outside to affect them when it's time to play football. That's just not me. And I look at Michael Parsons as one of those type of individuals who plays it the highest level and is really good in what I call a press situation, wearing that star on his helmet. And he always shows up to the occasion. Now, at times, he might say things he shouldn't say because it puts pressure on everybody else around him. Well, they have to show up to the party for some of the things he says, but other than that, man, talk your talk. People want to hear about it. You know, everybody else is, hush, hush. Everybody else, quiet.

[T-Mobile Representative]

Everybody else.

[Ocho Cinco]

You know, you have a game, you have a good game, you have a bad game. He doesn't hide. No, he talk. He talk when he win, he talk when they lose. I think more fans should embrace that.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I agree with Jojo. I. I just think the thing is, like. Like, bro, the only problem I got with Micah is that he talks so positive about everybody else players, but he doesn't talk positive about his own quarterback. He's hyping Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow should have been the mvp. Joe Burrow. Jo Burrow. Joe Burrow. He never get.

[Ocho Cinco]

He was. He was basing off statistics.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

All I know is that when he said top 10 quarterbacks, his quarterback wasn't one of them. So let me ask you a question. If they ask OO Cinco a top 10 quarterback, even if Carson isn't one of them, you leaving mob? No. You're not? No, no.

[Ocho Cinco]

He. He gonna be in every go.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Thank you. That's all. That's all I'm saying.

[Ocho Cinco]

I think. And then obviously, I don't think Michael was probably thinking about it like that. Obviously, when. When the question was asked, you know, he was just, you know, just rambling off what he thought, who he felt his top 10 were, and not Putting Dak in it, probably. It should have dawned on him. We talk about a defensive player. I'm an offensive player. So the first thing I'm a name is obviously my quarterback, who's responsible for my success.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I agree.

[Ocho Cinco]

Now, if it was CD Lamb who was asked that same question, guess who won't be in that top 10 and probably going to be the first quarterback.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Ask me who the best safety was. Steve Atwater.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I'm taking my guys. They're like, well, yeah, hey, they've been. God, they're great guys. Yeah. But I'm saying I won championship. Those guys ain't winning no championship. You're not gonna win no championship with Joe Burrow unless you get traded there. It's gonna be that. I'm always gonna put my guy up. I'm always. I'm always gonna praise my dog. I don't give a damn if he can't. Can't do nothing but sit on the porch. That's my dog, though. So I don't care if your dog can dial the phone. That ain't got nothing to do with me. That's not my dog. My dog lazy, but that's mine. So I'm always gonna hype up. I'm gonna hype up my guy. But that's. Look, he has a way of doing things, I think. The thing is, he's gonna learn. It's trial and error when you talk as much as we talk. And I tell people this all the time. When you talk for a living, you're going to make some mistakes. You're gonna say. Because sometimes you're talking faster than your brain is processing it. So you're gonna. Yay. Sometimes you gonna open your mouth and the toe gonna pop out. Cause you got your foot in your mouth. It happens. Ocho, think about how much I talk for Nightcap. I got. I got two shows of espn, I got five shows of Nightcap. I got Club Shay Shay. Yeah, it's gonna happen. You know, people ask me all the time, say, man, how you don't lose your voice. Because when I go home, I don't talk.

[Ocho Cinco]

And this is the one thing. And this is the one thing about Michael Parsons having a podcast, too, is I know what I get on the field from him on Sundays. Quarter one, quarter two, quarter three, quarter four, I know what I get. Ain't no question about it. I can close my eyes. I can tell you what he gonna do. It don't matter who he playing. So he gets a little leeway in that manner. Now everybody else if you ain't out there on the goddamn field and you ain't doing nothing, there's no reason for you to be talking at the game or having podcasts in the first place because you ain't doing your job. And you ain't doing your job on Sunday. What is that for you to Talk about?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

All 32 teams attended the HBCU combine. We can't make an NFL team grab HBCU players or pick them, but you can show what their abilities are. It's four or five of these guys, to me, that can be in this league. I agree. No, we're not. We're not saying look, but if you don't see. If you don't see them, obviously, Ocho scouts had to come see what Savannah State had to offer. I mean, they came and they tested my junior year. They came and looked. We had a couple of guys, like, we had a guy named Bobby Curtis, and he was outstanding. And so, you know, they would come down and obviously with something, you know, you hear about, hey, man, this guy might go to the NFL. Some scouts gonna be there. We played Central Florida, and, you know, we play teams like play Georgia Southern. Okay, Scout's gonna be there. Oh, I'm gonna shine. You might come there looking for somebody, but I guarantee you, when you leave, you gonna ask, who that? Number two? Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco]

Hey, Bill, that number two.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

He a sophomore, okay?

[Ocho Cinco]

And that's one thing I always say, the eye in the sky don't lie. A lot of players, they always focus on going to the right school, you know, going to the pwi. And I. Listen, it don't matter where you go, because when. When the scouts turn on the film, all you got to do is pop out of.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Pop out of the. Hey, if you.

[Ocho Cinco]

If you. If you really who you think you are, it don't matter. Where you go is what you do. When you get there, they will find you. You can play football with the Sisters of the north in Alaska. When they turn the film on and they see that certain number that's always active and popping out on film, it's easy to stand out. If everybody wearing white and there's one person in black, you're gonna be able to notice it right away. When you turn on the film, they will notice you. It doesn't matter.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Hey, I tell you what. Forgive. You don't know what number my number is. Go watch Savannah Stage. I guarantee you, at the end of the game, like, man, who was that number two? Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco]

Oh, yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Me. You.

[Ocho Cinco]

Oh, yeah. And matter of fact, and if you do. If you do. If you do go to smaller schools and you don't pop out on film there, then what you gonna do when you had a bigger school? Come on, now. If you really. Who you think you are, man, don't get me started. I'm not here to preach. It ain't, son.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

But that's how I was. I was always. I always wanted to show out, show up, Ocho, Because I remember we had.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Oh, yeah, we used that. Hold on, what they call them? Jamboree, you know? Did y'all have jamborees?

[Ocho Cinco]

We had jamboree in high school at my Lander Stadium, at my land.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

So you play one team for a half, and then you play another team for a half, and then that team was playing for a half. So we had those. And so we had a spring. My senior year, my junior year, we had a spring game, and we had this player, and Coach was like, Coach hall was gonna put us all on the team together and stack the team to make sure. I said, nah, I wanna be on the other team. Because I knew all the scouts, Lamson, Georgia, South Carolina, all the scouts was gonna be there. A graveyard had to show up. Coach. Nothing. No, sir. No, sir.

[Ocho Cinco]

They're cutting up.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

No, sir. Hey, graveyard was everybody. Oh, Joe, I'm telling you, when I left the field, there were bodies everywhere. The graveyard was here. Those. The good old days. I missed those. The legendary lt, the original lt. Now we got a little lt. Ladania, my dog wants Michael Parsons to stop podcasting and put his focus on football. He's a great player, but, guys, let's do more. Let's play more football, less podcast. Micah in particular. He'll have a movie, action movie. The brother got it. But don't forget where you are at.

[Ocho Cinco]

Listen, I like LT and anything coming from one of the greatest, if not the greatest of all time, especially on the deepest end. And he's talking about one of the greats right now. I agree, but I kind of disagree, especially with the times that we're in right now. Michael Parsons, he plays really well. He plays at a very high level along with this podcast. The podcast doesn't take anything away from him. On the action football field, between the lines, when the whistle blows, you know what you're getting with 11, you know what you're getting from Uno. Uno every time. Now, when you look at them defensively, you'll say, well, they got some weak spots. Well, Micah only plays in one spot. He can't be everywhere. Sometimes he stretched last of time, you know, Sometimes they go down in the three. Sometimes they got him sitting down in. Sitting down.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

That.

[Ocho Cinco]

In the box at a linebacker position. Moving around, trying to find ways because he's good in space.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Well, stop lying all that. Oh, we gonna have, we gonna have a, we gonna have a Ravens defense. We gonna have a, A Seahawks defense.

[Ocho Cinco]

He's supposed to say that, huh? He.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

No, you don't. You ain't gotta say nothing. Keep your mouth shut. Oh, no, you don't. You've gotta stop telling these guys. They got to say something.

[Ocho Cinco]

They did. But you have to believe in your team and who you, who you playing for.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Keep it to yourself. So how did he. Okay. He said what? He said, okay, we gonna win when he don't win. How'd that make him look, Ocho?

[Ocho Cinco]

Well, it make him look crazy, but, you know. You know. Can I say something real quick?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Yes.

[Ocho Cinco]

Let's say he say something crazy all the time, right? Michael Parsons been talking crazy all season. You know, this season, when the Cowboys do play, you know who do show up?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Who knows who show up in the passing game. What about when they get the ball run down the throat?

[Ocho Cinco]

Hey, you know, they run away from your mom.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

They ran away from lt. What'd he do? You ran away from Reggie.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah, you're right.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

You're right.

[Ocho Cinco]

Listen, he, I mean, listen, I mean, LT has to understand we're in a different time. We're in a different era. You know, some guys, they like to talk about the game of football, talk about the game of football after it's being played. They focus on it when they're at it. But in their off time, they have podcasts. That's just where we are right now. Are things going to change if he stopped doing his podcast and all of a sudden he could have. I mean, no. Michael Parsons is a player that he is. He's one of the great ones in the NFL right now at what he does. And it just, it just, it just, it is what it is. I, I, I respect lt. I like, I like lt's opinion, though.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Pastor Tan got a, a podcast.

[Ocho Cinco]

That's, that's not here. That's not any.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Got a podcast.

[Ocho Cinco]

That's not him. Defensive player of the year, but that's not him. You call. Let me finish. You calling names that are good at what they do at their Pacific positions, but that's not what they want to do. Michael Parsons wants to have a podcast because he likes to talk.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Some guys want to win and some guys want to be. Some guys want to be famous and Promote themselves. Now, which one you want to be? Because, see, the quickest way to build a brand is to win. Michael Jordan Brand. What is it? Magic Johnson brand. What is it? Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes. What were their. Joe Montana. What were their brands based on? Ocho, LeBron James, Steph Curry.

[Ocho Cinco]

Hey, you heard everybody. You heard everybody's name, right? They were ball dominant and were in control of those wins and losses. You talk about a defensive. You talk about a defensive player. You talk about a defensive end that can change the trajectory of a game but has nothing to do with wins and losses.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Oh, it definitely does. The LT didn't impact. So the LT didn't impact the game.

[Ocho Cinco]

Come on, now we know that. We know what?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Okay, what about Ray Lewis? Did he impact the game?

[Ocho Cinco]

Of course.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

What about Prime? I get. Okay, what about Prime? How was Prime? How was Prime's brand? Funny that you say that. Yeah. He couldn't impact the game, though. Cause, you know.

[Ocho Cinco]

So Michael Parsons don't impact the game.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I'm just asking you.

[Ocho Cinco]

Oh, no, there have been a lot.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Of guys that impact the game.

[Ocho Cinco]

We ain't just. You do realize we ain't talking about no slouching now. We talking about Michael.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Oh, no, but there have been a lot of guys that impact the game. There have been guys that impact the game less but won more and got a bigger plane.

[Ocho Cinco]

This is the team game. I just want to remember that. Now we talking. The only game you mentioned, Prime. Do you see what team prime was playing for? Do you see what else was around him while he was doing what he was doing?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Guess what? They went and got Prime. San Francisco said, you know what? We can't beat Dallas. We got to go get Prime. They went, got Prime. What did the Cowboys do? Go get him back. Yeah, it ain't that complicated. O. Joe, I.

[Ocho Cinco]

Look, I'm with you when you're right. I'm with you when you're right. But also, we're in a different time right now.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

We are. We are. I think the thing. Oo. I think the thing is, is like, look, Michael wants to have a career after football, and it seems to be. He wants it to be on the media side, no problem whatsoever. And I think he. What he's doing, he's starting out because I had. I had. I had a radio show when I was in. When I was in Denver, started. I think I started in like 96. My guy, Don Martin, I know you watching the show. He was at iheartradio for a number of years. I don't know. I don't know if Don still there, but he was my producer. So Don and I, we go way back. And so I kind of, like, I really didn't know what. What I was gonna do, but I'm like, hey, they like, would you like to do a. A radio show? I'm like, yeah, how much I'll pay you? Wasn't paying a whole lot of show, but it gave me an opportunity to talk. When they asked me, you know, come in to do the local news, I. Hell, I do that, right? And so I knew I was. I could do something in the media. I was always very candid, very straightforward. But I don't think there was ever a doubt that anybody that ever been with me, ask my teammates. Football was at the forefront, right? And anything that interfered with that wasn't going to happen. So my radio show was. I would tape it after Friday's practice, go in there, hit that thing for about 25 minutes, right? I'm done.

[Ocho Cinco]

Done, right?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I'm done. That's it for me. It had been very interesting. Ocho and Pete, I've gotten asked this question. If you were playing it today, would you have a podcast? I wouldn't. I'm too. I can't. I have a singular focus. I'm only. I've only been good at a handful of things, right? But never simultaneously. That's why I'm not married either. I was good in football and a terrible boyfriend. I was a great boyfriend. I would be terrible at football. So guess which one had to go.

[Ocho Cinco]

Hey, hey, what you talking now you hear me?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I'm just being. I'm just. I'm just. I just. I just. I'm just honest, Ocho. I'm just honest. Then that's why. So I have a singular focus. If you notice, when I'm good at something, I'm great at it because I'm all in. Ain't no. Hey, ain't no Hansel and Gretel. I don't save no breadcrumb for the trip home, Mocho. I'm lost, right?

[Ocho Cinco]

I'm lost.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Don't you. I ain't got no navigation on how to get back. All I know is, is one straight ahead. I'm going. We going that way. I'm gonna get people to be with me that believe in. I believe in the vision. And we're gonna go get it done.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yes, sir.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

But that's just me. Like I said, I think, see, the biggest mistake that we make is that we try to see ourselves in other people, right? That's my biggest mistake. That's my biggest mistake. It is. And, and I'm, I gotta talk cause I, I, I, I think I can say I, Ocho, honestly, I think I can save everybody and you know. Hey, hey man, can you do. Sure, no problem. Call Shelly. Hey man, we got to call Shelly. And you know it's 25 here, it's 50,000 there, so a hundred thousand here and, and, and, and, and my, my, my, my Marvin, Marvin Dimoff, who's my agent and he's been my right hand man for 29 years.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yes sir.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

He said you got to stop this.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

He said, he says, I, I, I understand he better than most.

[Ocho Cinco]

Right.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I'm an 83, I think he's a 83, 84 year old Jewish guy. He said, but I, I know you. And he said, but you got to stop this, Shannon. He said you can't save everybody. He said you got too big. You, you said you got too big of a heart.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah, same. I learned that quick. And most of the time, you know what I learned quick? No matter how much you do, sometimes they forget about, first time you say no. Hey man, I just man, they forget about it. They forget about all the time. You say yes, and that's mine. Always trying to save or feeling like I can come in and put my cape on. Oh, I got you. Don't worry about it. I got you. And every time on the back end, you end up regretting it.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Every time, Ocho, I, I don't regret it. I mean a lot of times I give, I give the charities, but a lot of time I give, I get, but like I said, Ocho, I give, I, I give with, I don't have any expectation.

[Ocho Cinco]

Right, right, right.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Nothing, absolutely nothing. And Shelly called me the other day, says, I said, what's up? Well, you need to stop giving away so much money.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I said, Shelly, you called out of the blue with that. She like, yeah, said, okay. And then I don't know if, if she talked to Marvin or Marvin called her, but he had a conversation with me today. So I'm done. I, I, I can't help everybody, Ocho. I'm done trying. Yeah, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.

Fees apply at out of network ATMs. Ojo the Cowboys overhauled their coaching staff this offseason, parting ways with Mike McCarthy and promoting OC Brian Schottenheimer. The Cowboys hired Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach Clayton Adams for the open OC role. Here's what Adam wants to see in the offense. The same thing I want to see, the same thing I want from every player on offense, and that is to create violence in the game. Be aggressive. Run, hit. I think every decision that we make schematically needs to lean into that direction. So if there's a gray area, what is going to allow these guys to play more free and run and hit and be violent? Ocho, do you think the Cowboys will be able to create a violent offense next year?

[Ocho Cinco]

I mean, no. Violence always starts at the forefront, right up front. It starts in the trenches. That's where the violence need to come from. That's where the balance needs to come from. It starts with the front five. They got to set the tone. That's where it comes from. Everything else is built off what that officer line does, so that's where it comes in at. So how is the ultimate line going to be? Because everything he just reiterated, everything he just said is not going to be possible unless that whole line is exactly like, I'm just gonna throw. I'm just gonna throw it out there like the Eagles, like the Ravens.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

You're right. That's it.

[Ocho Cinco]

Everything you want to do, whatever you set your eyes to, whatever you come into the off season or into the season saying you want to do offensively, it all starts with the offensive line. If you ain't got that. If they ain't got that mentality.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

No, it ain't happening front to back, Ocho. You build front to back, O line, back, D line, back. Yeah, and you say that, but that's a mentality. You got it. But, I mean, I take my hat off the teams like the Eagles, who. I don't know how much they hit, but they taking a lot of the physicality out of it, Ocho. Because you don't practice like that. We used to practice.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah, we had 907 practice.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Hey, we putting. You know, we're putting pads on people.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Yeah. It's hard to. You go out there and you do a walkthrough, then all of a sudden, hey, turn it up. Turn one up. But it was a mindset. Oh, we about. You about to. Hey, hey.

[Ocho Cinco]

Oh, yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Move a man against his will. Think about that chat. Think about when you say. You said, hey, get off my porch. I ain't going nowhere. The hell you say you finna leave here. Can you do that? Over and over? Ojo, you gotta make them quit. Somebody quit today.

[Ocho Cinco]

And that's what.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

That's exactly.

[Ocho Cinco]

By the time you get to the fourth quarter, they gonna quit. They gonna fold. I ain't.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I ain't quitting. Yeah, for sure. I gotta make you turn it down. Cause, see, I know how you run. Okay. Cause back, you know, back when we played. Ocho, we roll your ass up. We were cutting. And I know you're getting up quick in the first quarter. Yeah. Oh, they get up quick. Oh, they getting up. Hey, hey. I'm still making the play. I said okay. Okay.

[Ocho Cinco]

Chop, chop.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Hey, the second quarter, Ocho. Hey, I'm still here, Sean.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Third quarter, man, stay on my knees. Fourth quarter, he ain't nowhere near. Ain't nowhere to be seen. But you got to. It's easy to talk about something, Ocho. It's a lot more difficult to do it. Yeah.

[Ocho Cinco]

The coaches. The coach could talk all he want to. The coach can talk. Egan. Egan. Egan talk. So he turned Blue in the face. But unless you have the personnel and the players that have the mentality that you regurgitate or the mentality that you talking about, man, that ain't. They ain't talking about nothing. You ain't talking about nothing. What you have is what you have right now. You can say whatever you want. You know your team, you know your personnel. So you got to be careful what you say, what you ask for. Because they're not built like that all of a sudden. Just because you have off season don't mean they coming back completely different next year. You are who you are.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

No. Yeah. Zach Martin has been in wars and he's one. Been in one of the premier guards. He's one of the best guards that ever played this game. But he's had a lot of. He got a lot of miles on that body, Ocho.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

He's not the same guy.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

You know, Tyron Smith had a lot of bowels on his body. They let him go still. They, they, they. They started to suffer when Travis Frederick had to retire prematurely. And they got guys now. They're not. They not built like that. They're not built like that. They can't run the football. See, you know you, how, you know you violent when you can run the football.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

That's where violence come in at.

[Ocho Cinco]

Absolutely.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Absolutely. Look at the, look at teams that can run the football. They're a violent group.

[Ocho Cinco]

You notice when I talk about offensive lines, the first thing I said was Eagles and I said Ravens because they'll move everybody against a will when they play them Detroit and not changing nothing regards to who they playing.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Detroit is another one.

[Ocho Cinco]

Oh, yeah. Oh, I forgot Penetuel and them boys, they don't, they don't play.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

No. So it's interesting. I'm anxious to see what they do. I'm gonna see if they're going to be able to run the football. Dowdell is. Rico Doddle is a, is a free agent. We'll see what they're gonna do in the running back position.

[Ocho Cinco]

Right.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Well, you know, Zeke won't be back because they already let Zeke go. So now do they go into the draft? Do they get Genti? I think they pick 12, 13. Will Genti be available?

[Ocho Cinco]

That'd be a good one.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

What running back? What running back is going to be available? Aaron Jones with Minnesota. They pushed this. They pushed his date back. Okay. Could he become available? It seems like they want to get something long term done. Get him, get him a couple of years. So it's going to Be very, very interesting to see what the Cowboys do at running back position in free agency. Will probably kind of give you an indication of kind of direction that I'm going to go with in the draft.

[Ocho Cinco]

A.J.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Brown brought a life size mannequin to put his unwashed super bowl jersey on display in their home. AJ's longtime girlfriend posted a picture on Instagram.

[Ocho Cinco]

That's live.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Point of view. Your boyfriend buys a 62 mannequin to put his game one Super bowl uniform on. He indeed did not watch it. No, you can't watch it.

[Ocho Cinco]

No, don't do that. That's live, man. That's dope. That has to be one of the greatest feelings. And obviously coming from someone who's never won a Super bowl, played anymore, but never won one. That's something I would do. That's something I would do. And you, you savor that moment. And to be able to have it in your house, man, hanging up like that on the mannequin, full display, mouthpiece and all. You don't see the mouthpiece. He got the mouthpiece on, helmet and everything.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Oh, yeah. That's live, man.

[Ocho Cinco]

That's live.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Well, I wouldn't have. Because I would have a mouthpiece.

[Ocho Cinco]

[Ocho Cinco]

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

On the wall.

[Ocho Cinco]

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

But I don't know somebody because, you know, they make you two jerseys in Baltimore. They gave me both of my jersey. Somebody got somebody different. Guys got my 32 at 30, at 33 extra jersey, right?

[Ocho Cinco]

Hold on, let me use the bathroom real quick. I didn't drink too much.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

But I like that. Got the shoes and everything on the mannequin. Damn, aj, I. I don't know where the pants are. I ain't going to lie and tell you now about the pants. I know I got the jersey. I gave the super bowl helmet. I think Darrell Green got my super bowl helmet. Cause I traded with him. I'm almost certain Darrell Green got my super bowl helmet. I got my Super Bowl Ravens helmet. It's funny that I traded. I remember going to the super. I went to the Pro Bowl. I traded Pro bowl helmets. One year I was with Denver. I traded Pro bowl health with Jonathan Ogden. I got that, that original. I don't know chat who are a Ravens fan, but y'all, it was like a wing or something, but it was, it was kind of ugly. But J O, I traded with Jo. He and I had the same agent. He was with Marvin Dimoff as well, so. But Yeah, I still got. Obviously my jerseys are hanging up. I got one helmet. I know for sure. I don't know nothing about the pants. I don't know where the pants are here. Nobody. I mean, I mean, the thing was. It's like the thing was the jersey. Oh, yo. Nobody even thought a jersey in the helmet. Wasn't nobody thinking about. No, no, no pants.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah, well, what about your cleats? Because, you know, your cleats, sometimes your cleats will be a special pair, you know, Especially now.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Especially somebody got them. Yeah, I'm trying to think. Cause like, when I played like my last couple of years, Nike made me pat leather cleats. I remember the time, you know, you had to really be somebody to get. Get a cleats. Not everybody got a cleat. Hey, who wanna. Who won the greatest heat today? I'm like, dude on specialties, he better tell me he got joints, right? How you run down on a special team and you got patent leather. Jordan. Zoe.

[Ocho Cinco]

Hey, you look like good.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

No, you don't. Special team. Get some. Get some, some 3/4 and go on out there and make a tackle. You don't need no low top. No low top. Clean pat leather. But I would like. I would play in the shoe and then I would practice in it, and I end up giving to a teammate. Where your super bowl jersey?

[Ocho Cinco]

At my grandma house. At my grandma house. My little brother. My little brother, he got most of my memorabilia. A very good friend of mine in Cincinnati, when I left Cincinnati, he has most of my memorabilia. It just. I don't. I don't know what's wrong with me. Once I stopped playing the game of football, I didn't really care about memorabilia. I don't have. I don't really have anything. I don't have anything. Friends of mine kind of keep everything. And once I removed myself from the game and wasn't playing anymore, and I was at peace, I let everything disperse those that know me.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

CBS ranks every super bowl champ since 2000. The 2024 Eagles are the best Super bowl team since 2000. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,.

[Ocho Cinco]

Since 2000.

Steelers 09 Saints 2010 packers right 17 Eagles 14, Patriots 2012 Ravens. I guarantee you, if they let us play by the rules that they played by, not one of those offense scored on that Ravens defense. Now I Guarantee you won't. None of them get more than 20 points.

[Ocho Cinco]

I could have told you that.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Let me take that back. They won't get more than. They won't get more than 14 points.

[Ocho Cinco]

Listen, I could have told you that.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

How many. How many yards? Saquon had 57.

[Ocho Cinco]

He didn't get over.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

He had 37 against that defense. Hey, he'd had 30. He had 57. He'd had 37.

[Ocho Cinco]

Hey, it was different back then, man. And that's no disrespect to the players. I don't think they understand. I don't think. I don't think they understand. What?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

What? No, they don't know.

[Ocho Cinco]

That greatest Saquon is that Baltimore, that 2000 Ravens defense, man, come on, man. They going. They going sideline to sideline right along with you. You're not. You're not going downhill. You're not. You're not running. Toss you right. You're not running stretch. We ain't moving nobody off the. Take that Eagles off of the line against y'all D line back then, that 2000 raven D line.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

You know, I run it. Cause we got Sam and Goose, man.

[Ocho Cinco]

Please.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

And Ray. And Ray running free because of Stan and Goose. Ray hunting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got. You got 340, you got 350, and Ray free.

[Ocho Cinco]

That would have been ugly. Listen, just to be able to get it is exciting.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

It's kind of like Barry. You had to see Barry in person.

[Ocho Cinco]

To appreciate him, to understand and appreciate him.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Yeah, to see Jerry. I was in the league when Jerry said he got the triple crown in 90. So, like those great players, you had to see him, to see Derrick Thomas, to see Bruce Smith, to see Reggie White, to see those. And to see prime. I'm talking about a prime. Prime up close.

[Ocho Cinco]

That's why you think I always speak so highly why do you think I always speak so highly of Randy? Why I always speak so highly of. To why I always speak so highly of. Of eight folk out here from Dade County, Liberty City, Antonio, being able to see them dudes up close. And I've been watching the game of football for a very, very long time. For a very, very long time. It's different. When you look at stats and numbers, the finished product, when you actually opportunity to see how the product was made, when you saw the product in the lab, when you saw the product up close on grass and understanding, looking at Randy Moss and the DB is playing 10 yards off and Moss don't even close the cushion. He throw his hand up and Still. Come on, man. What?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

It's still rubbing.

[Ocho Cinco]

What are we talking about? Unbelievable.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Yeah, but those, those rules. Look, you can't play like that anymore because you look, those guys go back and look at that 2000 and see how many quarterbacks they knocked out. I mean, I saw. I saw a clip the other day of some of Ray Lewis's hit, some of Suge's hit.

[Ocho Cinco]

I saw that.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Y'all gotta. You gotta. You go, go. I'm talking about. Go back and watch 2000 and watch that defense.

[Ocho Cinco]

It was different, man.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Remember, in 16 games, they gave up 165 points.

[Ocho Cinco]

I don't think people.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

And they gave up 30. And they gave up 35 in one game. They gave up 16 total points in the postseason in four games.

[Ocho Cinco]

That's crazy. I don't think people understand how good they were. Listen, from top to bottom now, there was no yeah, oh yeah.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

We had CMAC and heavy Dwayne Starks, we had Ken Herring and we had Woody Rod Woodson at Sainted's. And our nickel was Corey Harris. And I died was, uh, Bailey and trapped Corey.

[Ocho Cinco]

Goddamn Corey Harris, man. I wonder where Corey at, man.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Hopefully he ain't. Man. I don't even tell. I ain't gonna tell. I ain't gonna put the man business out there. But he was. He was a wild dude, man. I would leave it at that because you know me, Corey, Woody and Ray. Yeah, that was. That was. That was the group. So the commander's potentially interested in trading for Cooper Cup. Jeremy followed reports, talking to people. He will have a market because he's so quarterback friendly. Certainly Washington is looking for a complimentary number two receiver. Washington is looking to make a big. Make big moves this offseason. Ocho, could they actually land Cooper cup and Miles Garrett both?

[Ocho Cinco]

Is that possible? Well, I actually know. Actually it is possible. Especially with the cap going up to. What is going up after the news.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

I saw today, 22 to 25 million increase.

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah, it's possible. And I like the move. I like the move. But you know what? You know what that does?

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

What?

[Ocho Cinco]

Terry McLaurin. You add Cooper Cup. I think Naomi Brown is still there. It takes some of the pressure off Jaden Daniels.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Got Zach Erts.

[Ocho Cinco]

You got brother hurts. It takes some of the pressure off Jaden Daniels. You mean I get to have Cooper cup, who still is an elite rock runner. He can play outside, he can play inside. He do just about anything. He run the route. Tree intermediate short. Hell, he's sneaky fast too, with that. If you want to send him D. I like to move. What's about a Triple Crown winner, man, he was just a Triple Crown winner not too long ago. Ain't nothing wrong with him and just the nature of the business on how it works. Go ahead, get him over there. You made it to the NFC Championship with what you got. Imagine if you add that to the P. Imagine you add that piece of the puzzle.

[Sports Betting Advertiser]

Yeah, but look, and if I'm Washington, look, I'm going all in because I'm doing everything I possibly can. Ojo. Because in a couple of years, I'm gonna have to see. I'm gonna have to see him.

He sung it now. Travis Hunter is now expected to attend the 2025 NFL combine as both a wide receiver and a DB. Is the league split between him being a wide receiver and a corner Ocho?

[Ocho Cinco]

No, no, they're not split, but they are understanding. Listen, he's made it abundantly clear that he's going to do what he did at Colorado, wherever he goes. And I think the fact that they're allowing him to do both, that's a good thing because he gets to show his office, he gets to show off his skill set and what he can do at both positions. I like it. I like it for him. I really do. And I'm excited to see how it looks.
