No. Can you guys give me your top five receivers in order in the game today?
A
Order?
C
Man, we. We need to think about that, bro. Right now, you have to say Chase Jefferson. Hey, he don't get. Hey, people want to discount him. I like Puka Nakua. I'm gonna put Puka at my top. I'll put Puka at my damn top.
B
Damn.
C
AFC Common Raw.
B
Tyreek. No. Or is it because he's had. Yeah, he been.
C
He been. He kind of been nicked this year. Well, I think what hurt him is that 2 has been out. But you know what?
B
Yeah.
C
Just because he's still Tyreek, I put him in there.
B
Yeah.
C
Who you got?
B
Yeah, that's tough. I mean, listen, my 1A, my 1A, 1B is. Is Chase and Jefferson. God damn. AJ AJ Brown, Tyreek, CD Lamb. Now, there. There's some other players that you know are on the fringe that belong in that conversation as well. Yeah.
C
Who else?
B
Who else I'm missing? I think Pickens. Pickens is in that tier one.
C
He coming. He coming. He's coming. He definitely coming.
B
As well.
C
Let's see. Nfc. Let's go. NFC South. Mike Evans been hurt this year, but we can't. He's been out a lot.
B
He's Mr. Consistent Man.
C
Yeah, well, you know What? Ocho. With the exception of. With the exception of Chase and Jeff, it's been a quiet year for receivers, man. They're the only two that's consistently week in and week out. Now, they had the Jetta, had that streak where the defense said, we ain't giving you nothing. We're gonna double, we're gonna triple you, we're gonna let Hawkinson, we're gonna let Addison, we're gonna let everybody else. We're gonna double your ass. We. We gonna stop you no matter what. But other than that, it's kind of been a down year except for those two guys. Coach prime tells Antonio Pierce he wants the Raiders to draft the door and Shiloh. If the season ended today, the Raiders would have the number two pick. Times thinks the Raiders will be a good spot for his son. At an event in Las Vegas, Time told Pierce, you are truly the best. Now, I need you to do the. Do one thing. I need you to draft those Savage boys.
B
I like it, though. I like it. I like it. But I don't remember. It's very important, the situations you go to. Your supporting cast is very important that you have the tools around you at your disposal. You have the. Huh.
C
He got Brock Bowers.
B
He got Brock. Brock was the real deal.
C
Brock might be top.
B
Top three, top four, along with. Is it McBride. Did I say that right?
C
Yeah, yeah. I don't know. He might be top three or four, and I ain't talking about three or.
B
Four, and I ain'T talking about NFL. Now, we need. We need more than Bowers. We need one more Dog.
C
Oh, for sure. For sure. Yeah, they got. They got some good receivers. Not great.
B
Yeah, yeah, they got good. They got good, quick, female. We like. I'm part of the damn Raiders. They just need one. They just. They just need one. And he's gonna be fine.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, look, I think it'll be a. Look, it's gonna be very interesting to see how this thing shakes out. Jacksonville has two wins. I think the Giants have two wins. I think the Raiders have two wins. And at some point in time, they like. Right? You don't ever want to show your fan base that you don't really care about winning. I mean, right? Because, you know, we want to. You know, we want to try to win, but we really try to lose. Now, Jacksonville, y'all ain't going. Listen, y'all can't.
B
Right?
C
I don't know what y'all gonna do because you got Trevor and he just got paid. I don't Think Trevor going nowhere anytime soon. Exactly. You got the Giants in need of a quarterback desperately. The Raiders need a quarterback desperately. Hell, there are several teams maybe somebody moves up to get. If you fall in love with somebody during the draft process, you put them on the board, you evaluate them, you study their tape and you listen like this guy is franchise altering. But it's going to be. It's going to be very, very interesting to see this thing how it shapes out Ocho. But I do think Shador is going to be a very high pick. He's made himself some money. He got coached, he got a coach. His offensive coordinator this year was an OC in the NFL. So he's pro ready. His dad is a coach. You know, you like, you like, you like players, especially the quarterback position. That dad was a coach. So he understands it. He understands what it takes to be the mechanism of everything that comes around comes along with being an NFL quarterback. You're the CEO.
B
Yes, sir.
C
Gotta be buttoned up.
B
Yeah.
C
Gotta say. Gotta say all the right things, do all the right things is more than just playing the position. Everybody, man, who cares?
B
It's different.
C
Stop it. It is just like if you're a CEO, you Tim Cook can't just do out there already doing willingly stuff even though Apple products are doing flying off the shelf. It doesn't work like that. There's a decorum. You know, you got to be very demure.
B
You got to be very. What?
C
You gotta be very dem. That situation. That's a word you have to spell at some point.
B
M O O R Demir D E M.
C
U.
B
Okay, okay. Demure. Oh, you gotta do that. Talk like you French. Okay, okay, okay. I like that. What do you mean?
C
For breakfast this morning.
B
I'm funny. I'm gonna use. I'm gonna use that. I'm gonna.
C
It was. It's reserved. It's mine.
B
When I met her, I was very.
C
I don't think real gonna say you was debuting Real probably say you the damn fool when she bet you you the damn fool. Two years in and you a d fool. Now add Michael Parson to the list of Cowboys voicing voices clamoring for the return of Mike McCarthy. I think it would be like a fair shot with everyone back, players, coaches. Because the injury kind of struck of what this season could really be. The injuries have been terrible and you know, it really sucks in terms of coaching. Man, Mike, damn. You just said nevermind coach Mike to me and his relationship has always been really good. He always took real good care of me. And I just don't know how the, the business side is going to go. You know, Jerry has his own mindset about who he wants to coach. This is his team. I'm kind of like just a pawn in this business. Hold on. I thought a couple of weeks ago you said, hey, nevermind. No Joe.
B
Players coming out in defense of their coach, their head coach, despite some of the things that they said in the past, having to retract it and change their tune now in support of Mike McCarthy, regardless of what any of the players say, in Jerry's mind, his mind is probably already made up. Probably already made up. You know, he's gonna lie. He can allow Mike McCarthy to finish out the season. You know, and Dak came out and said it as well. I wish I had some power when it comes to the decision making. He. You don't. Everybody knows that when anybody comes out and said, you know, yeah, it's, it's good, it's good, good pr, good media relations. But knowing Jerry, based on this season, regardless of the injuries or not, he cleaned the house. He's cleaning house. If you understand the business in general, if you understand the cache and how that specific individual runs his ship, he's cleaning house. No matter what any player says.
C
Ocho. It's kind of like when, yeah, a player know he's gone, the coaches know he gone. The player, what the coach say, I would love to have him back. He's been great. He's a great player. We love. They're not gonna say, no, we want him gone. And just like players, it's, it's, it's a rare. I, I don't know if I've ever heard of. Oh, yeah, I want him gone. I don't like him. Um, he's not a great coach. He's not great at situations. He doesn't make any in game adjustments. He doesn't make, you know, quarter to quarter adjustment, halftime adjustments. I've never heard a player say that. So all this is just coaches spiel for me. And you know, it's, it's, it's, it's pr. Great PR spin. And, and they might sincerely want him back, but I don't know what's, what's.
B
What were their players. Players always say everything that's politically correct in that setting. Nobody there, very few, there are very few players that have ever been in the NFL that actually voiced their opinion or saying what the fans are thinking or saying what we know is going on in the locker room and actually came out and said it. There's only maybe, maybe one I could think of. My dog. Tt let it be known whatever issues might be going on that the fans can see from the outside in. But as a player, you know you're not supposed to say T gonna let you know the things that are going on inside. He gonna tell you about the elephant in the room. Oh, he gonna, he, he gonna let it be known. Why are we losing?
C
Because the coaches saw.
B
Stand up the plate.
C
Adorable. Hey, hey. You heard, you heard. Chase, Chase, man, don't ask me no.
B
Questions about getting the ball. About getting the ball.
C
I don't call plays.
B
Yeah, right.
C
Yeah, he said I don't call plays. Y'all asking me stuff now. Y'all always tell me, hey, let the coaches coach you. Just play. Now all of a sudden you ask me what can I get open on? Oh, I'm gonna play.
B
Hey, I love it.
C
Greg Newsom. George Pickens doesn't know him. Or at least that's what the Steelers wide receiver says. Days away from the rematch with the Cleveland Browns, Steelers Week 12 loss to the Browns was punctuated by a scuffle between Pickens and Newsome during the game ending Hail Mary ask if he would talk to Newsom before the Sunday's game. Pickens was dismissive. I don't even know who that is, the Steelers third year receiver said Friday. Pickens also doubled down on his post game assertion that he did not think the Browns are good, a good team. I just go by the record bro. After the game news and called Pickens a fake tough guy and Friday he responded to pick his latest comments and draft. He was going to handle the trash talk field rematch. I'm all about team, newsom said. Obviously he's a guy who cares more about himself and you can see that in the penalties he causes. For me, my job is to try to do whatever I can to help my team win. There's never going to be no one on one battle.
B
I like it. Fight, fight, fight.
C
I do too.
B
Let's go. I need to see. Listen, we lost Mike Evans and Marshawn Lattimore. We lost that. We lost Josh Norman in Odell Beckham. We lost that.
C
You want that? So you want that. You want to come back.
B
I know, I understand it. You know team, you know, camaraderie. Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah. Man, I need this. George Pickens. I need this. Keep it within the game. Keep it within the confinement game. Give me a, give me a show.
C
It's hard though, Ocho.
B
Give me I I'm I swear for God I'm gonna give me some popcorn. I'm gonna kick my feet up and watch y'all go at it Sunday. Give me a show, please. I beg of you. Hey don't cost hey, listen, get in each other face talk trash, you know, with pickings. When you catch a ball, you know you hit that thing they be doing that, you know, Greg Newsom, you make a play, you get up and you know, you do the sword, do the work like Strap. I beg of y'all, man, I don't hear none of that politically correct about Norma team player. Give me a show.
C
I pay.
B
You know how much I pay for NFL Sunday ticket but you better give.
C
Me something that defended Mike McCarthy said I wholeheartedly believe in him. Dak things McCarthy deserves another contract. He also said he would help McCarthy McCarthy if it if he had more influence on the team's development. But McCarthy said he's confused by that. Comments According to Clarence Hill, the Cowboys Cowboys coach, McCartney said he had the most input he's ever had as head coach. Oh Lord have mercy. Coach compared to Green Bay, he is not sure what Dak meant by needing him influence on his terms. We know Mike McCarthy does not have no power. He's a head coach and title only.
B
For those that understand the game of football. For those who know about when it comes to being the coach of the Dallas Cowboys organization. But they're stony helmet. There's one person that runs the show and it's not the head coach. And it's always been that way. You have no pool. You know exactly what Dak meant by the words that he said.
C
Yes. And I'm not. I'm taking dag what he said with a grain of salt. Because guess what? He said he wanted Scott Linehan. He said he wanted Kelly Moore. He said he wanted Jason Garrett. He said he wanted this one and he wanted that one. So what's he supposed to say? Nah, I want Mike because I want another head coach. I want another play caller. Of course he's going to say all the right things because if you go back and check his track track record. Ocho, he said the exact same thing about every offensive coordinator, about every head coach that he's had.
B
Yeah, I mean you have to. You have to. He has to be P.C. he's a quarterback. He's the face of the franchise no matter what. So he has to say all the right things. It's not like he gonna come out and go against, you know, his, his head coach.
C
I mean, come on, Mike no shooting. But I'm saying for him to say, Mike, let me ask you a question. Do you have any say on the final 53? Do you have any say in free agency? Do you have any say in the draft? So if that, if that's the case. So I'm just trying to figure out, what do you mean you have some say?
B
Wait, didn't he say he had more say, more control or more Satan we than he had in Green Bay?
C
Yeah, I disagree. Maybe, maybe Ocho. Maybe at the end. Maybe at the end he didn't have the same amount of say. But it's hard for me to believe throughout his entire tenure that he had more say in Dallas that he had in Green Bay.
B
You know what that get right?
C
Huh?
B
Chop? That's what they get. You know damn well.
C
See now by saying that, you know, you take some of the onus off Jerry. So we can't blame Jerry fully. So Jerry can say, oh, see, he would have done said that he had some say. Let's get his ass up out of here. Cause we lose it.

Coach Belichick interviewed for UNC University of North Carolina head coach in Vacancy. He reportedly blew them away in the interview. I mean, I don't know why y'all surprised by that. Coach Belichick seemed genuinely interest interested in the job. Excuse me. At the age of 72, Coach Belichick has no prior pre college experience. Ocho, do you like Coach Belichick going back?
B
Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I want at some point I would love for Coach Belichick to get the most wins as a head coach in NFL in the past, and I can't get that done going to North Carolina, I think going to college, it's not a bad thing. But there's a disadvantage due to the competition level being the playing field being even because of nil. I don't think Bill needs to get into that realm in that area where you're not really getting the players you need to have a winning season or actually to be able to compete at a high level. I would prefer Bill to stay with us inside the NFL until the right job comes to his. To the right NFL job comes, you know, the right one where he can continue to win and strive to get into reaching that goal of being the most. The most winning NFL head coach ever.
C
I think Ocho, Coach Belichick, it had to be a huge crush to his ego. You talking about a guy that's won six Super Bowls and he ain't getting none of the jobs. There were six or seven jobs that were available and he got none of them.
B
Yeah, but he got a question, though. Think about this. Of those six or seven jobs that are available, which one would have been the best fit that can. Where he can continue his reign of dominance?
C
No, you got no quarterback. I mean, you, you got a quarterback, but you ain't got Tom Brady. But at this point, o, let me ask you a question. You're the, you're the best receiver in football.
B
That's me. That's me.
C
You, you, you. You got, you got all the records. You done had six straight 100 catch seasons. You done had six straight seasons, at least 1300 yards. Six straight seasons of 10 touchdowns. Okay? They move on. And you can't find one job.
B
Hey, can I tell you something?
C
Yeah.
B
It's become a young man's game. Not only at this young man's game, it's become a young coach's game as well. But Bill speak for itself. It speaks volumes. It's all about Bill being adapt today's players to today's era. Can he change some of the things that he did during the old days, some of the old ways and try to try to revamp. Like, you know, when I tell you got these sometimes you got the evolved you. You can't. You can't. You can't do the things you did back in the day and think it's going to work in today's era. You know, the players that I don't think they respond give a damn about.
C
No resume Ocho, I know these kids don't care nothing about no resume.
B
Kids don't. I'm just saying the organizations might. Might. If he goes in and let in and shows that he can adapt to the kids in today's era. That's all I'm saying. I could.
C
Yeah, yeah, he can. He adapt. It's hard, Ojo, when you've been in your. It's hard when you've done something one way and had ultimate success doing it that way. Now all of a sudden, you mean to tell me to do a 180? Yeah, Ocho, that's hard. And the kids today, Ocho, there's not the same level of respect for coaching and authority that it once was. What you and I grew up with. And the way we see it, gradually, gradually dissipating where the coach's authority and the coach's voice is not as powerful as it once was. Now it is in some locker rooms. But I remember five years ago, yeah, five years ago, Coach Belichick walk into a locker room with that resume. Now everybody, the first day, they're gonna call in the question. He wanna know what I call. He didn't wanna know what I call. Brady.
B
Yeah, yeah. You know what I see? Especially the young players that looked up to. Looked up to him as a coach and respect what he's done. I think he can walk into a locker room and it'd be instant respect, even from the young. Even from the young guns.
C
Despite his struggles, Aaron Rodgers says he has nothing to prove over the final fast five games, inferring that his career compliments should supersede. See, I told you. Should supersede his performance down the stretch. He said it would be ridiculous to make a player with his resume audition for next season. Ocho, this is why we love professional sports. Because what must you do every week, Ocho?
B
Update your resume.
C
Update your resume. So I want to ask Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, what has those four MVPs done for the Giant, the Jets this year? That's what you do every time you step on the field. Ocho, I'm playing for my job.
B
Yeah, but you, you, you, you already know what they're gonna do though. You, you are you. No, you already know what they gonna do. You know how difficult it is to find a quarterback. You know how long the Jetson looking for a quarterback. Even, Even. Yeah, I know they still look. Even though Aaron Rodgers is playing back. It's the possibility, it's the thought, it's the hope that he's going to play like the Aaron Rodgers of old. And even. Even if he shows glimpse of flashes of the old Aaron Rodgers, maybe for the Jess organization, maybe that's just enough to give them hope that things may change. Maybe. So if there's an opportunity or a chance for him to come back next year, guess where he's gonna be because of who he is and because of the exact same thing he said because of his resume, he gonna get a chance just because it's him?
C
I don't know. Like I said, I don't know. Woody Johnson, like a lot of other people, they seem to see that he and the owner of the Jets, Woody Johnson, it's kind of like they don't see eye to eye. There's reports that he wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers at some point in time this year. Coaches fought back at it, fought back against that. If they want me to stay, fantastic. If they take these five games, maybe they don't know what I bring to the table. Nothing this year. But that being said, I love to play really freaking well these last five games.
B
Yeah.
C
Oh, it's Ocho. You see, that's what I'm saying. He thinks that the normal rules for an NFL player. Yeah. Joe Montana, he didn't finish. He didn't finish in San Francisco. Emmitt Smith, Bruce Smith, Jerry Rice, some of the historic great players. There are a lot of what top 100 players that did not finish their career with the team that drafted them. But somehow Aaron think he should be exempt because of his resume.
B
And can I. Can I tell you something in that chat, y'all listen to me, because his name is Aaron Rodgers, because of what he's done in the past, he's gonna get that grace simply because he's a quarterback. Even though some might not like it, we might not like it. And just the honest truth.
C
I believe there's a greater chance he plays elsewhere than with the Jets.
B
Nah, I don't see it. Well, you know, Devontae's going after this. He's only. He's on. He's only one year, huh? Yeah. You know, you might be right. You might. You might be right because most of the pieces are going to be gone. You might be right. But where would that be?
C
I don't know. I mean, they talk about everybody keeps hoping to get the old Aaron Rodgers. You just getting an old Aaron Rodgers. Hey, I mean, I'm not breaking news. Take that aside. Look, if that man has. If he had another name on the back of that jersey, ain't no way y'all say that man Deserves to get get the money that he's making. Deserves another opportunity or earned, forget deserve because he feels he deserves because of his resume, not based on what he's done. Everybody else must feel I get this opportunity, I've earned the opportunity to play here. Ocho to play another season, to get another game. He feels he's deserving based on what he's done, not what he's doing.
B
And you know the funny thing? You know why he can say it? Because he knows he's gonna get that opportunity. He knows he gonna get that chance based on what he's done. Any other position tackles, guards, divers, centers, D tackles, cornerbacks, safeties, will never be extended that grace. There's always a special. There's always a special place for a quarterback, especially when it has done what Aaron Rodgers has done in the past. Even today, even as bad as it is, he will get that grace because of what he's done in the past.

A lot of former players have chimed in on the Al Shear a zhir hit on Trevor Lawrence. Bill Romanowski, my teammate says the hit was dirty, but I loved it. Sounds like Romo. Joe Thomas says the NFL needs to ban weaponized quarterback slides. Tom Brady suggested the NFL needs to change the rules to penalize late slides. Tom Brady said something very interesting. He said they're putting the onus on the defense. Tom Brady is the wrong messenger because they had a rule change. Does he not know the Brady rule was instituted to protect him? He's. I get it, I get what he's saying, but he's the wrong message.
B
Right, right, right.
C
Because a lot of these rules that they was in put in place to protect the quarterback he benefited from. It's kind of like what we see with a lot of Hispanics when they talk about yeah, the poor deport, deport when they got over here, we see it. We know how they got over here. See, it's easy to say that expose facto. Well, I'm here now. I don't give a close it. Don't let nobody else over. Tom Brady said, well, hell, I ain't got to take no more hits. Punish the quarterback. Really, bro? Really.
B
I mean I really.
C
And I get everything that they said. Ocho, the late slide, Patrick Mahomes for that seeming like he's going to slide and then he wiggle and finagle. No, that's wrong. Punish it because all my. Listen to all my Rossette Brown. He said that Caleb Williams had a habit of pretending like he's going to go out of bounds and and Just. And they showed the clip. Dan Campbell say if he do. If he does this, y'all punish his ass. And that's exactly what happened. That's why they didn't throw a flag, because he warned the officials. He said he had a habit of doing this.
B
Instead of just, we gonna put.
C
We gonna put helmets on his ass.
B
Is it with me?
C
See, I might not can stop him from doing it, but I break his ass on the habit. My grandma say, I might not stop you, but I break you to have it. That's all I'm saying. Tom is the wrong messenger. When he benefited one of. He was one of the most beneficiaries of the rule change to protect the quarterback. Ocho. So how is he going to say this now?
B
I think he's saying it because of. Of the way the quarterbacks are taking advantage of the rule. The quarterback, he took advantage of it.
C
Yeah.
B
I mean, you know, look, he can't. He can't scramble. He can't run. He couldn't run. Now they think they took. He took advantage of it in the pocket. So the owner, at that point, it's on the defensive player to understand why you put.
C
Hold on. He said the owner shouldn't be on the defensive player to protect the offensive player. That's what he said. So why is it on the owners when his ass is in the pocket?
B
Yeah, that's a good one. But I'm. I'm. I'm trying to. Okay, well, I want you to give better context for those that are running quarterbacks that are dual quarterbacks that choose to take advantage of the situation, and they know. Well, you know what? I could fake it. I could act like I'm gonna go out of bounds and I'm gonna take it up the field or I'm gonna take it up the sideline. So, Shazir, I understand. I. I understand. That was a late slide. That was a late slide by the. I'm getting ready to say Jared Golf. That was a late slide by Trevor. No, you. You. You got. You got to protect yourself as well.
C
Because that wasn't a late slide. Ocho, you do realize how tall Trevor Lawrence is? He's six. Six. That's late. No, Ocho, Ocho, it wasn't a late slide. But when you 6 foot 5, you make it seem like he caliber. That's a lot of man to get down into a sliding position.
B
Hey, how many.
C
How many times you see. How many times you see Aaron Judge steal a base? Do you know how hard it is for him to get his ass down and slide. Unless they ain't got nobody in that position that they got a shift on or something.
B
Yeah, I mean but that's, that's what.
C
But here's the thing. It's just like a quarterback when they fake spike it and then throw the ball. What about that Ojo? Should you be allowed?
B
I've seen that since Marino against the Jazz.
C
They'll do it.
B
They still do it.
C
I haven't quarterbacks off read.
B
I haven't seen it in a minute.
C
I think I think, I think only a handful of quarterbacks have done have done that since Danny. But and they put and the Jags to finish up. Ocho the Jags placed Trevor Lawrence on injury reserve yesterday, likely ending a season. I think he was going to have surgery when he was dealing with something before this. Okay AC he's had he had shoulder issues before that. Ocho. But all I'm saying is this. I understand what Thomas said but as a quarterback that's benefited from it. You can't say Ocho, you can't say change the tax code when you benefited from the old tax code and you've made millions and billions the volume.
B
Hey, we all love bacon, right? I mean hell, who doesn't? And did you know Oscar Meyer smokes their delicious bacon for 12 hours over real hard wood? That's a really long time to perfect the smoky flavor.
C
That length of time you can fly from Miami to Los Angeles and back from Los angeles to Miami. 12 long hours.
B
That's about how long it takes Oscar Mayer to smoke their bacon. There's no wrong way to enjoy it. So buy some Arsenmeyer thick cut bacon right now.
