Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Washington Commanders’ Dominant Win vs Giants

• Washington's Rushing Attack:

  • Sharpe opens by breaking down Washington’s ground game supremacy: "Washington ran the football extremely well today. 32 rush attempts, 220 yards, two touchdowns." (03:01)
  • Jaden Daniels’ dual-threat talents praised: 19/32, 233 yards, 1 TD, 0 turnovers. Highlighted as the formula for Commanders’ success.

• Defensive Improvements & New Additions:

  • Noted the impact of new acquisitions including Von Miller and Marshon Lattimore.
  • Sharpe: "They got some guys over there that can get after the quarterback and make it very, very difficult." (03:59)

• QB Talk – Jaden Daniels vs. Jackson Dart:

  • Early speculation on Daniels’ longevity: "Are we going to see Jackson Dart? Damn, after one game?" (03:59)
  • Over/under set at 8 games for a potential QB switch to Dart, showing real-time skepticism about Daniels' long-term role.

2. Russell Wilson’s Role & Offensive Control

• Ochocinco raises concerns over Russell Wilson’s autonomy: "I wonder how much freedom Russell has to be able to change...the plays. From what I saw today, it's hindering Russ from being able to do some of the things that he does well." (05:05)
• Sharpe doubts Wilson ever had true control, especially under Sean Payton: "The likelihood of him coming in there and having that kind of control now...doesn't seem likely." (05:23)

3. Receiver Usage & Frustrations (Malik Nabers, Giants)

• Both hosts stressed the need for early involvement of star receivers.
  • Ochocinco: "You have a player that is special as Malik Nabers...get him the ball early...instead of out there getting all that goddamn cardio." (06:08)
  • Sharpe extends the analogy: "Ain't nobody asking, you know, to ask Steph Curry or Jordan...don't take no shot till the fourth quarter...But y’all want these receivers to just run and just run..." (07:03)

4. Giants’ QB Situation & Future

• Repeated discussion that Russell Wilson may not last the season:
  • Sharpe: "Me, personally, Ocho, I don't think he's going to start the whole year...over under eight games, and Jackson Dart's going to be in there." (09:06, 14:47)
• Ochocinco reflects on aging QBs: "As you get older, you need more help from those that are around you. And I'm not sure the New York Giant team is built with the right personnel..." (09:38)

5. Miami Dolphins’ Embarrassing Performance vs Colts

• Sharpe’s blunt summation: "Colts beat the Dolphins 33 to 8...Tua completed 14 of 23, 114 yards and a touchdown...threw two interceptions, lost a fumble...He looked awful." (19:39)
• Ochocinco: "I expected more from the Dolphins. I see the direction in which they are going—going young, letting Jalen Ramsey go..." (20:12)

Tyreek Hill Trade Speculation

• With Miami trending younger, Ochocinco sees Tyreek as possible trade bait: "If things continue to go like this...there are many, many suitors that can use Tyreek." (22:32)
• Sharpe reminds the audience of their summer debate on Hill’s future, with Ochocinco now more open to the idea.

Tua Tagovailoa’s Problems

• Sharpe concerned about Tua’s durability: "Your quarterback has to play well. He has to stay healthy...Anytime he get hit, the ball come out." (25:30)

Implications for Next Week

• Both hosts agree: next Dolphins game against the Patriots is make-or-break.
• Ochocinco quips: "If the Dolphins lose to the Patriots this next upcoming week...my allegiance to them—I can't do it no more." (29:08)

6. Other NFL Games & Standouts

Broncos vs Titans

• Broncos win 20–12; Sharpe notes strong defense and run game. Cam Ward (Titans rookie QB) had little help from receivers.
• Sharpe: "Cam Ward did not get a whole lot of help today." (43:53)

49ers vs Seahawks

• Third-stringer Jake Tonges’ surprise heroics: 3 catches, game-winning TD, filling in for injured George Kittle.
• Purdy’s struggles highlighted: 2 TD, 2 INT, didn’t look comfortable (46:47).
• Sharpe: "Sometimes...gotta have guys making plays for you. Everything's not gonna always be perfect." (46:46)

Buccaneers vs Falcons

• Baker Mayfield leads a last-minute win; Emeka Egbuka, rookie, catches two TDs, including the go-ahead (33:05–33:43).
• Notable ongoing kicker accuracy issues discussed (38:44–39:15).

Jaguars vs Panthers, Cardinals vs Saints, Raiders vs Patriots

• Quick recaps on young offensive stars and quarterbacks, with a greater focus on the learning curve of new QBs and rookie performances.

7. Sunday Night Football vs Monday Night Football - The “Big Stage”

• Conversation on how playing in primetime differs:
  • Sharpe: "Monday night, everybody's attention...On Sunday night, some teams are flying, so Monday night...you got everybody's undivided attention." (66:41)
  • Ochocinco: "You got stage, center stage all to yourself on both nights." (67:01)

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right. Washington ran the football Extremely well today. 32 rush attempts, 220 yards, two touchdowns. You see Crosby, I kid his last name. Jaden Daniels had 11 for 68, the 10 for 82 and a touchdown. Eckler was 6 and 26, but they ran the ball extremely well. And then you get malik. Jayden Daniels, 19 to 32, 33 and a touchdown. He was sacked three times, but clean game, no turnovers. And that's what. Look, in order for the Washington. For the commanders to be the type of team that they're going to be, Jayden Daniel's gonna have to play like this, legs and arm and not turn the ball over. Give them guys a chance and let that. Let that defense hunt. They got some guys that can get after the quarterback. You know, they got Louisville over there. They got Ken Law, they got Daron Payne, remember Ocho. They brought in Von Miller, Vaughn.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So they got some guy, Marshawn Lattimore. Yeah. They got some guys over there that could. That can. That can get after the quarterback and make it very, very difficult. They just got to do a great job of taking care of the football and let Jane Daniels and Jaden's got to do what Jane Daniel does. But look, guys, it's one game and they already. Are we going to see Jackson Dart? Are we going to do. Damn. After one game? I do think the over. Under is eight before Jackson Dart is in there. Damn. Y' all asking this after the first game?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I wonder how much. I wonder how much freedom Russell has to be able to change. Obviously, plays come in based on what he sees defensively. Does he have the freedom to change things to make it a little easier for him to be able to, you know, change the plays? Obviously, sometimes, you know, when you played. Obviously when I played, when Carson would get plays, when plays would come in one play. But he has the freedom to be able to change the play based on what he sees.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Whether it's a run play, if it's. If it's. If it's toss. Right. But you know what? You know, let's. We can go dive left based on. Based on defense, based on Justin, based on what I see with my own eyes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I have the experience. I wonder if Russell has. Has that freedom to do so. When play comes in, he actually has to stick exactly what it's called. Because based on the play calling, from what I saw today, it's like it's hindering. It's hidden Russ from. From being able to do some of the things that he does well.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, I'm not so sure he had that ability. He probably hadn't had that. I don't know if he ever had it in Seattle. Maybe later in Seattle. He definitely have it with Sean Payton. Oh, no. And I'm not so sure he had it last year with. With. With Arthur Smith. So the likelihood of him coming in there and having that kind of control now, Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Doesn't seem likely, but hey, they just need to play better. We're not going to put all this on Russ.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Although he was less than 50% completion percentage. Uh, and then Neighbors, it seemed like I. I don't know what that was about. What did. Neighbors and. And day ball was trying to get him to go back in the game. He was talking to him, trying to get. But neighbor seemed like he was like, man, I'm. I'm done with this.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, he frustrated. He frustrated. He frustrated. Listen, players like that. I said this with A.J. brown, too, when the Eagles played, having to wait all the way to the third quarter, nine minutes in the third quarter to even. Even touch the ball. You have a player that is special as Malik Neighbors, and you get him the ball early. Don't. It don't have to be nothing crazy. Throw him a little. Throw him a little smoke route. Throw him a screen route. Give him reverse. Let him feel like he's involved in the game instead of out there getting all that goddamn cardio.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Get it to him early.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you will have him late all game. That's what that. That's what you should do.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you should do and what they actually do is not always the case. But you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. Ocho. Is that when you're dealing with these, These number one receivers, you got to give them something early in the first quarter.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, just. Ain't nobody asking, you know, to ask Jordan or to ask Steph Curry to ask one of these great players. Look, we don't want you to take a shot until the third quarter. No, not just you do. Hey, everything just run around out here, Steph. You just run around off these picks and do all this stuff and we're gonna run, you know, hey, all that we gonna do. But don't. Don't take no shot to the third quarter. As a matter of fact, we ain't gonna let you take no shot to the fourth quarter and see how that work out. But y' all want these receivers to get out there and run and just, like, just run and just run and just run, and they don't get no action, don't get no ball thrown away, and then they come. Fourth quarter. Hey, here we come. Come to. Come to do what?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Mentally united. Mentally united.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, you're not.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It's hard. It's a struggle. It's a struggle.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So we. We'll see what happened. They got. They got the Cowboys. The Cowboys, like, hey, we let one slip away last week. We ain't about to let one slip away this week. Cowboys might drop. I know it's a division game, Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cowboys might try to drop 50 on the Giants.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep. I'm trying to.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, what. What was. What was neighbor's numbers today? Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

He had five for 71 on 12 targets.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, that's. That's. That's. That's not bad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wandell Robinson had six and 55 or eight targets.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's not bad. That's not bad. I mean, you know, look. Look good. Look, slow day at the office. Not. Not what you like.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, hey, ain't nobody go crazy at the receiver position. But say Flowers.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. They was only one. They be killing that slot boy. Oh, he'd be killing that slot. And it's the same route over and over. They're either either that shallow or that deep. Over.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, That's. That's the thing. Yeah. Because you got to honor it. Because they hold. Cause Lamar, stick it in there. You think, Henry. So you hold just for a second, and by the time you realize that, he's already passed. Yeah. Yeah. What you think? You. You. You think. You think there's some. There's some tread on the tires with Russ? Me, personally, Ocho, I don't think he can. I don't think he's going to start the whole year. You know, you and I, we had a bet over under eight games. I think it's going to be under eight games, and Jackson Dart's going to be in there. I do.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I think, honestly, based on what he has around him is all going to come down to his offensive line. If you give Russ time, you give. You give us time to be able to process and. And allow him to make the decisions with the ball, I think he's going to be all right. If they can. If. If they can get a running game going, take some of the pressure off of Russ as well, which obviously helps with the pass game. I think they're going to be all right. But so many different factors have to have to go right for us to be able to succeed. Because he's not the Russ of old. He's not the Russell Wilson with the Seattle Seahawks that at one point he can make something out of nothing. As you get older, you need more help from those that are around you. And I'm not sure, I'm not sure the New York Giant team is built with the right personnel where he can be able to succeed like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it's a lot of Russ was, was outside, was off script.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Improvisation. You know, Russ was a magician with the ball.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Pump faking and flicking the ball over guys and finding ways. He doesn't have that athleticism anymore. Like you said, I think in order for him to be at his absolute best, things has to be perfect. And you know, the likelihood of things being perfect more times than not, it ain't gonna happen. It's not.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So you say eight games, you think Jackson?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I think I. Yeah, I think over under eight games and Jackson Dart will be in there.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, Ocho, I mean, you got to think about it. This is his third team in three years. Yeah, because. Yeah, he went from Broncos to the Steelers, Steelers to the. To the Giants. Man, you know when you start bouncing around like that, Ocho, when you start bouncing around like that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

On the back end. Yeah, on the back end. That, that, that's what, that's what normally happens, but obviously on one year deals when he's with the Steelers, when he came in, obviously he was injured. Justin Fields Took over. We did really well. Well, hell, when Russell Wilson did get the opportunity to get back in there after coming back from injury, he went on a five, six, what, seven game seven.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Like seven. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Sep seven in a row. And then obviously the bottom fell out after that. But damn, I don't know. I don't know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And plus, plus the F O. They both know his job's on the line.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, that's right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How does it look? Oo I draft a guy that I don't get to coach.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hold on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So if I, so if I don't play Jackson dart, there's a great chance I'm never going to coach him.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Well, hell, if you do play Jackson dart and things don't go well, hell, you still ain't gonna be able to coach him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I got, I got a year. I drafted him. I mean that's like you, you, hey, you building a house and get a divorce and the wife living in it. You ain't even get to live in the house, Ocho. So I, I just think, I just think the thing is, is that they're going to turn the dart sooner than later.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause probably four or five games, don't you, you know, you look at your division, you'll see where Philly, you'll see with Washington, you see what Dallas is. You look around the league like, oh man, we already, we out of this. We might as well go ahead and start building towards the future.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

At some point in time, Ocho, I gotta start, I gotta start hoarding a bottle water and can tuna doomsday is here.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I know. I, I, I, I, I don't want the fans out there in New York to overreact. It is week one. I think we, we being a little, a little too, we jump in the gun a little too much. Who the Giants got next, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cowboys. Oh, Ojo, you do realize they took this man number one. They took Jackson dark number one, right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What they take him number one for? To start. And you and you get, and you and you got a jerk. What people would consider Russ, not as a journeyman quarterback.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yes, sir. Yeah, obviously. And you know, you know what with, with that journeyman, we talk about a Super bowl winning journeyman who has good experience, who has good success in NFL.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Joe Flacco won a Super bowl and what super bowl mvp. How do people look at it? What is he?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Journeyman.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But again, Russell Wilson is starting for a reason. What better person for Jackson dart to sit behind and learn the game from, then someone has already accomplished what he Has I, I could be wrong. Or you can throw caution to win and throw Jackson Daughter out there to the Sharks. And what, what, what normally happens to young quarterbacks when you throw them out there the Sharks and they don't play well and they start losing confidence.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right, well if it got, I mean it's tough because I, I, I, I. And that's why I think it's going to be, I don't think it'll be in the next couple of weeks, but I think by week six, week seven, you kind of know, right? And you got you. We just got to move forward and once we make, we, once we make this decision, it ain't no turning back.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know, turn it back. Once you do that ain't no turning back. But that's, that's why I say it wouldn't happen that, that soon. It wouldn't happen that soon because once they do make that decision, Jackson Dart is the quarterback for the foreseeable future of unless things just completely don't pan out similar to that of Daniel Jones.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, so you have been on a road trip like, like look here. Okay, now I'm gonna drive and once I drive, I ain't, I, I ain't stopping.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

So once we gas up, get everything you need, get water, get your, get your, get your, you know, get your goodies, whatever.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Bathroom, use the bathroom, all that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I'm with you cuz. What? Hey, I ain't stopping. So I, I think because once you make the decision to go to Jackson Dart and ain't no turning back, Ocho. Ain't no turning back. You just got, you just gotta ride, you gotta ride the storm out with it. So.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Dang.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Speaking of awful offensive performances, the Colts beat the Dolphins 33 to 8 2. Completed 14 of 23, 114 yards and a touchdown. But through two, two interceptions, lost a fumble. His second multi turnover game in his past three starts to a QB rating was a passer rating was 51.7 was the lower business career in a game that he did not leave early today marked the fewest passing yards in such a game since week 18 of 2021 Oo. He looked awful.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, I watched the game. I had, I had, I had the, I had the Dolphin, I had the Dolphins game on nice and big up there in the sports book and I, I, I expected more. I, I expected more, I expected more from the Dolphins in general. I see the direction in which they are going, going young, letting a Jalen Ramsey go obviously Minga Fitzpatrick being there, being, being A lone veteran back there, and that's secondary. That's. We. We got to do something. We got to do something at the quarterback position and, And. And finding a way where we can have some type of consistency. You give us a chance. Oh, give us a consistency to give us the chance. We. We'll go 0. 16. How many games it is?

[Shannon Sharpe]

17.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We'll go 0. 17. Man. Playing like we played today.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. And hold on, let me. I'm trying to find this boy. Y' all was terrible. I was like, oh, my gosh.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, it was bad. It was bad. It was bad. And I didn't expect Daniel Jones to look like he looked. I didn't expect Daniel Jones to look like he looked.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, they had. They had a thing up there. They said Daniel Jones looked like Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson looked like Daniel Jones. Man, y', all, they were terrible. Oh, here it is right here. I mean, I think it was the first time they had scored on three consecutive possessions since Peyton Manning in, in 2006.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, so, yeah, they started. They started. Oh, they started the game. Oh, they scored. They kicked the field goal. They scored a touchdown, scored a touchdown, kick the field goal, scored a touch, kicked another field goal. I mean, dang, hold on. So they got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. They scored on six of the first six possessions.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then, listen, two will look bad. Ocho. And then, and then, and then. And Reek was frustrated.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's like, yeah, it's tough, man. It's tough. It's tough, it's tough.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But listen, we doing over unders. You think, you think if things continue to go like this.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I, I, we already had this conversation this summer. You told me they would trade Reek.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, look, if things continue to go like this, being that they're, They're. They're going. They're going younger, as you can see, letting Jalen go. They're resetting. They're rebuilding there. There could be a chance. There are many, many suitors that can use Tyreek. Many suitors. Still one of the best in the game. Don't. Don't. Don't be fooled, because things aren't going right collectively as a cohesive offense over there in with the Dolphins.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Chad, y' all remember me and Ocho had this conversation, and he laughed at me and talked about what you talking about?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Because I expected them to look completely different as opposed to what I saw today. Now, you. There's a chance they can bounce back. There's a chance to get bounced back after today's performance, because that was.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, they don't look good defensively, though, Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Man, our identity was never our defense anyway.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was okay. So offensively, you got sacked three times, you threw two picks, and you fumble. So what's your identity now? You probably got bags of your face because you don't want nobody to know who you are.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, that was bad, boy. That was bad. But all. All you can do, all you could do, go back to the drawing table. You go in there Monday, you watch film. You take Tuesday off, go hit the cold tub, hit the hot tub, and you get back to work Wednesday. Wait, Who. Who do the Dolphins got? Because I'm sure whoever the next game is, is a winnable game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know who they got.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Chad, who the Dolphin got next?

[Shannon Sharpe]

His QB rating was 2.7.

[Chad Ochocinco]

God damn. Yeah, that's real.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That ain't even good. That. That's a good gpa. I mean, that's a C. Yeah, they got the pass in Miami.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay, we good. We good, we good. We good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You do realize, hey, Hal Landry had two and a half sacks today. I don't know. They might get y' all little.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, no, we. We good. Listen, the Raiders. The Raiders just beat the pass today. The rating beat the pass today. Gino was at the goddamn dealing. And if we're going to have a rebound game to get that bad taste of our mouth against the Colts, a game that obviously you would think we should have won, but because Danny Dimes was dealing today. He was dealing. Jonathan Taylor was doing his thing as well. I think we be. We beat the Patriots. We beat the Patriots. And hold them. They playing in Miami.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We got this.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We got this. We good. We good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y' all not good. Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We. You. It's week one. It's week one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't care if y' all play like this in week 10. Y' all look bad. Did you look bad? Yes or no?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, we. We look bad. I'm just being honest. But you know this NFL now. You know how you know one week you look bad, the next week. Well, where the hell this come from? It. It happens. It's possible. It's possible.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It is. It is. But I think the thing is, that's concerning for me. OO Is your quarterback has to play well. He has to stay healthy. And it's like. And it's like now. OO Anytime he get hit, the ball come out.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cuz. You know. O.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hold on. He got the ball out here. You Got to have that ball. You got to have two hands on that ball, just in case, because you can't see everything around you. Anytime you in that pocket, you got to be here. You got to be that clock, that time, that clock. That clock has to go off in your head. And understanding people rushing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Daniel Jones was 22 or 29. 272 and a touchdown.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, that's nasty work right there. That's good work, too. Yes, good work.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And that's. Look, son, we don't need. Son, we don't need you. We don't need you to be John Elway or Peyton Manning. Yeah, just don't. Just. Just don't turn it over.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's it. Just give. Just give us a chance. Give us a chance. That's all we ask of you. Give us a chance. If you give them a chance, they got. They. The defense is good.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, they got Frank, they got some guys over there, but. Oof.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn Dolphins. Don't worry about it. Fins up, baby. Fins up. We good. We gonna be all right. We're gonna be all right. What the Broncos look like today?

[Shannon Sharpe]

They won.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They Bear. They barely won, but okay. Go ahead, boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We put that thing on the Titans.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Barely won?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You concerned for your Dolphins?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hell, yeah. After what I witnessed today.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You just told me, Chad, this man just told me it's one game now.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He told me it's one game, but I'm. I'm trying to be optimistic. I'm trying to be optimistic. We cannot have that type of showing. There has to be some type of promise. When you watch a game, we watch NFL game for four quarters. You got to see something. Okay, you know what? That was something good that we can build off of. Okay, this is the area we need to work on. Unk. We need to work on every goddamn area.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everything.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We need to work on all three phases of the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Off defense, locking, tackling, running, throwing. Other than that, y' all pretty good, don't y'. All. Hey, y' all let Indiana Jones do a number on y'. All. They got. Y' all got that. Y' all got. Y' all got the people calling that man Indiana Jones.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Hey, hey. Danny Dime. They listen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Danny diamond, he'll. He ain't dating the D no more. Oh, they called him Indiana Jones.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay, I got you. I. I take that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I say what they don't gave this about a nickname after one game?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Danny Manning, I said, oh, my goodness. He was out there dealing. I'm gonna be honest with you. He was out there dealing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He, he, he did a number on y' all Little Joe, and he had two. I mean, he threw for. Hold on. Dan Jones had a touchdown. He rushed for two touchdowns. The Colts scored on all seven of their offensive possessions in today's victory, becoming the first team since at least 1978 to score on every offense, possession in a game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Every.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what Indiana Jones did to y'. All.

[Chad Ochocinco]

A defense. We need, we, we need that, that, that don't make, don't make me sad. Don't make me sad because I, I, I'm, I've been in good spirits, but my Bengals won. And, and I'm hoping, I'm hoping. Matter of fact, I tell you, I'll.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Tell you what with that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

If the Dolphins lose to the Patriots this next upcoming week, my allegiance to them. I can't do it no more, can we done. I'm done. I'm done. Because I've been listening. I've been going through this since 1984. Since 1984 when I understood that. I'm from Miami.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

My home team is the Miami Dolphins. And things ain't been right since.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Well, God damn, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Y' all look bad, Ocho. Y' all look bad.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I got, I know. I, I, I have, I have faith. I have faith in Tua, despite today's performance. I have Faith in Mike McDaniel. This despite today's performance. I think we're gonna be all right. I got faith in Tyreek. I got faith in Jaylen Waddle. I don't know if I think water might be hurt. There's something, something happened to water.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is it true? Is it true? They was holling MVP and Indy today.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. They say Indiana Jones was getting mvp. Chance that what I heard. I don't know. I wasn't there.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Don't do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Going by what I heard.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Don't do that. Don't do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm just saying. They said mvp. Mvp.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Don't do that. Damn, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Then I gave a man a nick. Y' all don't call the man to get a nickname. Indiana Jones.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And that's just home field advantage. Let's see what happened. When you play away in a hostile environment, in a chaotic environment, we don't have your fans on your side where it's not as easy, where you can't hear what's going on. You got everybody chirping at you. Let's see what happened then.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The Rams beat the Texans 14 9. Matthew Stafford passed for 245 yards and a touchdown while becoming the sixth quarter, the 10th quarterback, excuse me, in NFL history to throw for at least 60, 000 yards in a career. Puka Nakua, 10 catches above 30 on 11 targets. Devonte Adams, four catches, 51 yards on eight target. He was deal. I mean, look, Matthew Stafford, man, look, when he was in Detroit, you don't realize how good he was because they lost. And you're like, man, y' all got Cal, y' all got Megatron. Y' all couldn't win no more than that. Y' all had Reggie. They had a couple of guys that could run the ball. They're like, man, y' all gotta be better than that, right? But he got what he can flat out throw the football.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He's a gunslinger, boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He could throw it. I ain't never seen nobody throw so many. No, look, Classes, man, that joke will be looking over here and thought, yeah, it'd be right on the money.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right on the money. Right on the money. I think that's. That's one of the reasons why they didn't force me. Even practicing training camp. Oh, you got. Oh, is something wrong with you? Go ahead and take that off. Go ahead and relax because we know what you can do once you. Once you're in between those hashes, once you're in between those lines. Super bowl winning quarterback, huh? He's always been a gunslinger. He's in the same class when we talk about gunslingers as your John Elways, your Brett Favs, your Aaron Rogers, your Michael Vicks. I just. I threw Fig in there because I wanted to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know you. You threw him in there. But he did. They did win. They came back and they won a game this weekend, so. Yeah, he and DeShawn Jackson, Delaware State, won their game also.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The Bucks beat the Falcons 23:20 in dramatic fashion only eight months after helping Ohio State win a national championship. A Mecca.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Two touchdowns.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep. Caught two touchdown passes, including a game. A go ahead 25 yarder with 59 seconds remaining. Baker was 1732, 167 with three touchdowns. Young. Young way co. I mean, it's spelled. Y' all know how it's feel.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What's his name?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Young Way.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Young way what?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Young Way. Cool.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What's his last name?

[Shannon Sharpe]

KU K O O.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay, okay. What happened to the other kicker?

[Shannon Sharpe]

That was him. He there. He just missed it this time. He went. Why? He pushed it wide right.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right. Yeah, I thought it was named. I thought the name was Young Ho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, that's how I spel.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I just knew they were gonna, they were gonna come, they were, they were gonna tie this game. Pennix junior did a great job on fourth down to die. Get the first down and man.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That was a good game. CJ Stroud was. CJ Stroud was playing well.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He was 19 to 27, 188. One interception, three sack. He was sacked three times. Nick Chubb had a Nick Chubb sighting. Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, he was toting that rock. Boy, wait till they get Joe mixing back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They couldn't really get Nico Collins involved, but Puka Nakua had himself a day. Kyrie Williams had 18 for 60, 66 yards and a touchdown. Yeah, but it was. It was a very interesting game. I mean, Baker, Baker, those three big touchdowns. Here it is right here in the game. But that's what Baker's done since he's been there. He finds a way to win the ball game. He had a couple of touchdowns, and they were pilling around and milling around and milling around, and they got the ball back. He takes it right down the field and get a touchdown.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're like, nah, I don't want no stinking field goal. I don't want no overtime. I'm in the air. I'm going home.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I got to get up out of here.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I'm going.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They not paying me for overtime. I got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's like, first of all, I ain't gonna leave it on. I ain't gonna chance it to the kicker anyway. Consider how y' all been missing lately.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Hey, they need. They need to put. They need to widen the field goals. Field goal post back. No, they need to, because everyone is missing kicks that would normally be good. Everybody missing kicks that normally be good. They Made it that much more difficult for the kickers by narrowing the goal post.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What they've done, guys have sacrificed distance for accuracy. You see how br. Well, how that 60 yarder went through. That looked like it had been good from 70, didn't it?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, it did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So guys are sacrificing leg strength for accuracy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because we look at how many. Look how many pats we starting to see. Miss you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know, the further out you go. The further out you go, the more difficult it is to be accurate.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Where that you go. And this is coming from a NFL kicker.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, I wouldn't go that far.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But I was a backup picker for the Bengals. You. You. You know, you know that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Way back. But the Bucks look, that division, we think it's going to be the Bucks and the. We think it's going to be the Bucks and the Falcons. That's always nice to go ahead and go on the road. Now we play y' all again. We're division rivals. We play y' all again, but y' all got to come to our place. It's always nice to go ahead and get BE one up on your division rivals. That division. Carolina, they lost today. New Orleans, they lost today. Rattler didn't look that bad. He had a throw late in the ball game that could have tied it. And the guy, the db, did a great job of pulling the ball out.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Pennix Jr. Was 27, 42, 298, one touchdown. He only got sacked once. Bijan Robinson was six of 401. Touchdown. Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts sighting. They finally decided to give him the ball. Drake London had eight catches. Kyle Pitts had seven catches. Go ahead, Ocho. What do you want to say?

[Chad Ochocinco]

I was gonna say, hey, they. They were dishing. They were dishing the Cowboy late the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They didn't give him the ball early.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Early. Yeah, they would. They were dishing. Boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They. I mean.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, Bijan Robinson in open space. I don't want no. I don't want no part of that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that turf he making.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Look, he's making everybody look stupid. I'm not saying he's Barry Sanders.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, nobody's Barry.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, nobody is. But the only person I've seen that make those kind of moves like that in open space or in tight quarters was maybe Lashawn McCoy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, Shady McCoy. Yeah, look, that's what we remind you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, that's it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yes. Well, be nice.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's. You're not gonna have very many opportunities like that. Phoenix was dealing today. You know, he got an opportunity to start and look, he looked good. Yeah, look good. Threw the ball with some confidence. You have to do. Have to do a better job of running the football 28 for 69 yards. Won't get it done. Don't you. That's putting too much pressure on your offensive line. That's putting too much pressure on your quarterback. You need to bend the ball better. You got to run the ball better than that. You've got to run it better than that. That's asking an awful lot of your quarter. Your second year quarterback in your offensive line when you only get 69 yards rushing. Right now, I look, I understand that Tampa, when they got Vita Veil in there, that's not an easy assignment to try to move his big ass out the way. But you gota. You gotta, you gotta do something, Joe. That's. That's not nearly. That's not nearly good enough. Not nearly good enough.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The Broncos spoiled Cam Ward's debut with by the score of 20 to 12 and a win over the Titans. B Knicks had an off day throwing a pair of interceptions. I think he fumbled his first fumble loss since he was at Auburn. He was at Auburn a long ass time though. But anyway, the Knicks defense had his back. Half a dozen sacks. They did a tremendous job. Defense look good. I defy look good. We got after two. We were swarming.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. For the Titans, we got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They had some drops in there too, though. Gavin really had a big drop late.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I was just getting ready to tell you. They got to help. They got to help Uno out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You got to catch the ball for your quarterback. You got to catch the ball for your quarterback to give yourself a chance to win that game. Those opportunities, they come, they come, they come very slim. When you're playing a defense as good as the Broncos, you have to capitalize on every single play.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Because you ain't getting that many.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cam Ward was 12 of 28, 112 yards. Got sacked six times, lost 50 yards. They only had. There were 24, 21 rushes for 71 yards. But like I said, really had a drop. They had a couple of jobs that, that dropped the ball in there. And you got to make those plays. Like you said, Ocho, that's a rookie in that situation. You got to help him out.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he didn't, he didn't, he didn't get a whole lot of help today. He did not get a whole lot of help today. Bo Nicks. For a second, I thought he had a Titans, you know, t Shirt up under that Bronco jersey because damn, he was trying to help them guys win the play. Through some horrible interceptions. 25 of 41, 76 A touchdowns, two interceptions at a costly fumble was only sacked once. Broncos ran the ball well. 30, 30 carries for buck 51. J.K. dobbins had a 19 yard touchdown. Harvey, the first round draft pick had a 50 yard run. But. And Courtney Sutton, who signed a big contract this off, this off season, had a great touchdown catch. But that won't get it done. Difference has to be better than what they show today. Now the Titans defensively, they got, you know, they kind of got bailed out because Simmons.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Shoved the guy and they call unnecessary roughness and they had to had the ball. They allowed the Broncos to keep the ball for a little longer than what they probably should have had it. But you got, you, you, you got to be better than that. But Cam Ward did not get a help, a lot of help from his receivers today. Ocho, it had been very interesting to see had, you know, because really, really don't normally drop that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he had a couple of drops, couple in crucial situations. And we know that what type of receiver Calvin really is. We, we've talked about it ad nauseam here the last, last couple of days. But that was. That won't get it done. That won't get it done.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You got the hatos, baby.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. And then, you know, he didn't. Cam didn't turn it over. The fumble, he got. Got a. They brought a safety, brought a cat blitz on him and got the ball out of there. Yeah. Got the ball out there late in the game. That ended up ending it for him. So Broncos win by the score of 2020. Go to one and oh. In the division and guess what?

[Chad Ochocinco]

What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

For the first time, and ain't no telling how long, at least a decade. The Chiefs are at the bottom of the division. Third stringer Jake. How you pronounce that name? Tongas had a late touchdown catch to give the 49ers a 1713 win over the Seahawks. He entered the game having never caught an NFL pass. He finished with three reception and released a relief of injured George Kittle. Kittle got injured.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hamstring, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that's what it was. Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Soft tissue. Hamstring.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And hey, Purdy, Purdy put it up. And the guy came down and made a great play for it. And you got sometimes, don't you, you gotta have guys making plays for you. Everything's not gonna always be perfect. But boy, ooh. Purdy didn't look good today.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sometimes I think you try to go out there. You try to, you know, you try to. I mean, those interceptions. Yeah, he was 26 of 35, 277, two touchdowns, two interception. He was only sacked once. Sam Darnold was 16 of 23, 150 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions. Jackson, Smith and Jigba nine for a buck 24. But, oh, he had a turnover. He fumbled at the end of the game and then what'd you call him? Got it. Bosa. He probably credited the Bosa with a sack. You did probably credit the Bosa with a sack. Yep. Fred Warner was Fred Warner. Ricky Prissol had had a nice game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ocho Rick did. I think Juwan Jennings, Juwan Jennings got hurt, didn't he?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know. I see two catches. I was watching that game and, you know, I was all, you know, trying to focus on that game, trying to focus on this game over here. But Pierce all look, he had a good game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That today was his coming out game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He showed flashes last year and I think this is one of the reason why they were, they were ready because they knew in order for him to really sprout and spread his wings, they had to get rid of Debo. They had to let Debo go.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Those opportunities that Debo would get, now, you got to give him the UNO.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He got him.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, he, he's, he's getting now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

McAffrey had 10, had nine catches on 10 targets. Had a big, I think, fourth down catch to keep a drive alive. That ended up turning into, I, I think the, the touchdown catch for the Mountain View. To get a kicker, that's what they need.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, your boy right here.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That'S, that's what, that's really what they Tanjis. So that's how you say his name. T O N G E S Tanjes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Listen. And based on the kickings we saw today in week one, there are a few teams that could use a kicker because a few games are lost based on someone's foot.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho. The Jags beat the Panthers 26 to 10. Trevor Lawrence threw a touchdown pass. Trevor Atn ran for a buck 43. And pri. Brian Thomas Jr. Also ran for a score. Travis Hunter played 39 offensive snaps, caught six passes for 33 yards. He played just six snaps on defense. Yeah, you watch it. I tried to, I tried to watch some of it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It was up, I had it up, had it up. I, I, I, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I think it was a good battle for Travis Hunter obviously not playing very many defensive snap, but obviously they said he would play more offensively. He, he, he looked good. He, he looked decent. Trevor Lawrence looked like a number one pick today. He looked like a number one pick today.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he did.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Travis Antien looked really good as well. Really good. He looked, he looked faster, a little bit more explosive. I, I don't know what it is. I, I don't know. He look fast, a little bit more explosive.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bigsby. Tank. Bigsby played really well last year. He was trying to take money out your pockets.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, okay. Okay. I, I see where you going with it. I got you. I got you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Bryce Young, 18 to 35, 154 touchdown, two picks. Trevor Lawrence was 19 to 31, 178, one touchdown, one pick. But like you said, they ran the ball 32 times for 200 yards. You know, Trav got in and he did catch six passes. Ocho, not much on the defensive side. I think he had a half a tackle. But look, we'll, we'll check, we'll check. We'll check back in once the seasons once as we get further and further along in the season.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And we'll see. Probably see it tick up more maybe 15 plays next week on defense.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I think it's going to be some time before they, you know, this says, okay, you're not coming off the field.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cardinals beat the Saints by the score of 20 to 13. Calamari 163 yards, hitting Marvin Harrison Jr. Five times for 71 yards on the touchdown. He also ran 38 yards and another score and a five yard shovel pass to James Connor. You know what? Oo I. Yeah, like I said, Spencer Rattler, you know, I thought late in the ball game he had a chance to tie this ball game up or give the Cardinals credit. They ended up pulling the ball out and. But I, I will say this. Quarterbacks on fourth down. Last play of the game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Give you guys even if you throw an interception. So what if you throw the ball out of bounds, it's going to be incomplete. Give your guy a chance.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Give him a chance.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's all, that's all we could ask for.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Got a chance. Spencer Rattler was 27 to 46, 214. He was only sacked once.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He looked. Too bad. He didn't look.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, he didn't. No, he didn't. No, he got it. He got a nice arm now.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, a nice arm now. Are we. Are we. And I'm being optimistic. You do understand who they were playing Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They're playing the. The Cardinals.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Or you think the Cardinals gonna be bad this year?

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, I. I don't think they're going to be bad, but they're not a team that you can really, really heavily judge a quarterback on because when it comes to playing better competition, especially better competition defensively, then can you still be consistent and make the right decisions with the ball?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. Right. I mean, New Orleans did a great job. They got out the calamari, sacked him five times. Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, watching them games today, man, got the adrenaline going. I was excited. I was hyped watching, you know, Star spangled banner being sung. Like, I don't. I don't know why I feel like. Like I can go out there and play. Like I can't. Huh? You can't, you know. You don't think so?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn. I don't know. I just think if I was giving.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You left the game with some injuries. Keep it that way.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The Raiders beat the Patriots by the score of 20 to 13. Geno Smith passed for 362 yards and a touchdown in his Raiders deb. Brock Bowers had five catches for 103 yards before leaving the game with a knee injury. Jacoby Myers added eight catches for 97 yards. Gino just needed to get out of New York.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Gino. Gino been playing well since he left New York.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. He was willing to deal in Seattle too. I'm not sure why. I'm. I'm not sure why they let him go, but he gonna wheel and deal out there in Las Vegas.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's one thing he can do is he can throw that ball. He can spin it. He can see, he can spin it. And now you got some. You got some very, very good targets that you get to throw the ball to. Expressly Brock Bowers, who's probably going to be the best titan in the game. And he'll probably solidify that spot after this season. Probably. So they gonna be all right? They're gonna be all right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, they needed Gino. Gino was 24, 34, 362, one touchdown, one interception. Got it. They got sacked, but hey, he still was dealing because they didn't really have no resemblance of a run game. 24 rush attempts, 56 yards. Ashton Jenny averaged 2 yards of carry. But Brock Bowers, like you said, Ashton Gentian, excuse me. Brock Bowers and Jacoby Myers, between the two of them had 13 catches for 200 yards.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And the funny thing about it is the fact that Geno Smith was still willing. And Dylan, with no run presence at all.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But no run present. Aston gentle. He gonna get off. You're gonna have games like this. You're gonna have games like this. You. You not. It's different. The same Boise State here. Everybody just as strong. Everybody just as fast and all that. Being with a bounce, bounce it outside. There ain't gonna be none of that. Ain't gonna be done that. You got to find that crease and you got to hit it. You got to hit it and go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Cause everybody, Penn State.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Everybody.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everybody. All right, guys, we're gonna get y' all here on this one. It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Huh? You're not gonna tell them the surprise for tomorrow? Oh, that. Oh, that's. Oh, that's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Time for Q and A. Chris Baller said, as a lifelong Patriots fans, I must say I'm not pleased with. From what I've been seeing from my team, especially offensively, 13 points, really? Clearly something needs to happen. This is not the standard.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, it's your new standard and shoot the bank. We only score 17. Well, we score 16.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm scored 17.

[Chad Ochocinco]

17. Yeah, we have. We averaged 33 last year. Huh? We averaged 33. You know, so I mean, it's. Sometimes you play teams and something, they got your number. Some teams are gonna be like this. And it's week one. It's week one two, people. We got. We got the. You know, we got karma, karma, karma. Calm down. I think. I think the patron. The Patriots gonna be all right. Drake may. He gonna be all right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Mark said it's funny that Shannon thinks he could critique quarterbacks. I can.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I played a game. I studied the game. Yeah, I can. I can't critique quarterbacks.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we. Yeah, we. We can. I can, too, because I played quarterback.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Why can't I?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Well, you should have saw me in high school. What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dagnante Cobbins. The best opening game I've seen in my life, and I'm 43 years old. What say you, Unc? Ocho. I guess he's talking about tonight. Buffalo. Baltimore. Buffalo.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, that. That was good. That game was good. That game was good, people.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Was it 94? Was it 94? The Patriots and the Dolphins had a game like this, I think bless her through for like 470something. And Marino had like 380. 400. Go back and check that game open. I think it's 94. That might have been a game of. Blesso had like 70 pass attempts. Was that opening day? 94. The dolphins and the Patriots. Yeah, this was a very good game. I mean, you got scoring. I mean, you got both quarterbacks playing extremely well. Both offenses playing well. You just. I mean, you just had the one turnover and when you turned the ball over, basically ended up costing the rape game. You hate to say it cost him a game, but it gave. It gave Buffalo some momentum that they didn't have. It gave him some juice. It gave him some life. They were on life support.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And that fumble gave them. Gave them life.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know what else game already passed for.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Remember. Remember that, that game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Remember that was opening day, though. That was. Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Remember that game in 2018, that Chiefs Rams game?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Well, that thing was nice. Yeah, that was another one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, that. That 94 game, the Dolphins and the Patriots. Danny threw for 473. Blesso threw for 421. That was. That was Ben Colts coming out party. Yeah, that was. That was a bar and burner.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But this game, you know, I was playing, I just remember. I just remember going home and seeing and seeing the highlights of it. But this game here. Yeah. I mean, I'm trying to think of another game that opening night off the top of my head. I can't think off the top of my head, but this was that. This game tonight, Buffalo and Baltimore was great. Adele Smith. It makes no sense how Ravens can't close out games. How the hell they keep making mistakes, allowing teams to come back. You just said it. Making mistakes. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You ended the season off making mistakes and you started the season off making mistakes and the same mistakes from last year. That cost you. Hell, it costs you again this time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ravens O line is horrific. They got exposed again. Isn't the Eagles and Bills O line not good? I don't think. What do you mean? Hey, you think the Ravens O line got exposed?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Who was that right guard, huh. That kept getting pushed in, that kept.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ending up, kept pushing in the backfield.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That right guard. I don't know who that is, but he is the weak. That's the Fish.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, no disrespect, but he is the Fish.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, let me see. Oh, f. F. But he's been there. He's been a starter. He's been there a while.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I don't think it's five. Five. I don't think it's him. Maybe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Maybe it's the either right guard.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Might have been. Maybe left guard. Dude, whoever it is. Is Tom T. Tall as hell. And Ed Oliver kept getting right up underneath him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, Ed Oliver, Oliver like 6:1, so it ain't. It take much if you talk about. So he probably like six four, six three. Six four. And Ed Oliver probably like six foot six one.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right? Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But he's, but he's powerful. I mean, you look at Lamar, 14 to 19, 209, two touchdowns. You look at the office, running the football, 29 rush attempts, 238 yards.

[Chad Ochocinco]

God damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That offensive line. I mean, they only gave up two sacks. No, they gotta. That defense got to do a better job. They gave up 500 yards of total offense to the. To Josh. To Josh. Josh Allen. They got to do a better job. You know, Gary Lilly said the Ravens kicker missed the extra point after Henry scored. They did. He did. He came back to bottom because now the. Now if Baltimore kicks the field goal, it's a. It goes to overtime.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now Buffalo probably takes a different approach. You know, they kill the clock and now they going for the end zone.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, they got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Shine. The Ravens played to contain Josh, not to sack him. Ravens felt their corners are better than the Bill's receivers. How'd that work out for him? King Payne said go take Alexander back where we got him from. Shouldn't have depend on the offense to get up and stay up to shut a game out. This defense needs to step up. I'm. I'm talking more than Kyle Hamilton.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, Unc, you put up 40 points in any, in any football game at any level, you're supposed to win the game. Yeah, at any level. High school, peewee college, especially the NFL. 40.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, Mike would tell us if. Look, if we, if we lose 4,140 offense, y' all ain't do enough. If we live. If we lose 10, if we lose 10, 13 defense, you didn't do enough.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But that turnover when you turn the ball over is. Is of the utmost importance. If he, if. If Henry fumbles this ball in the first half, we not. We having a different conversation.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Good. You good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We having a different conversation. But give. I just think you got to give Buffalo credit for not down. I mean down. They were down 40 to 25 with less than five minutes to go. You need two scores and one of them needs. And. And you need a two point conversion after it. So that's what happened. Trey Tyner said Uncle Nocho Ravens got to do something about 70 on the old line. Ed Oliver ran through him all night. Calls the pressures on D. Henry fumble.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's him right there. Who? Number 70.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's number 70. Oh, Rosengarden.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's the one. That's the name, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, he's the right tackle. Rosengarden is the right tackle. Right tackle.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah, it's the right tackle. But he was. He did good. Remember, he ended up. He ended up getting Miles Garrett jersey last year after the job that he did on Miles Garrett. Just had a bad night.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cal Simpson said, uncle, help me understand how the Ravens defense is bad when they go against Lamar every day in practice. I know it's not every period, but Lord. Hey, keep your head up, King Henry. No, actually, they don't. They probably only go against the Ravens offense in two minutes because that's really the only time that you see the Ravens offense. We went ones against ones in the two minutes, two minute situation. That's the only time we.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, in practice.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep. We wanted our best against the best. Cal Sims also said, bible says a man who doesn't work, doesn't eat. Ravens defense didn't work today. Q. Jimmy Johnson, no food on the plane behavior. Patel said, why Ocho's face look like Whoppers Candy? Pay up. Yeah, Ocho, pay me.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He say my face looked like what?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, they said last. They said, what was that? Saturday? Yeah, they say your name was Dud. Milk Dud.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, man, listen, y' all talking. Listen. Them people talking, man. Listen, I was. I was. Listen. People got to remember, like, I was 2005. From 2005 to 2009, I was really one of the sexiest men alive and this in the world. Not just. Not just here in the States in the world.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So, I mean, alive. I mean, if there's a man alive, I mean, I'm assuming that you're talking about, you know, everywhere, but. Okay, I see what you're saying.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. This. This was aq, you know, women. Women rated me, you know, no. Top five sexiest men alive.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That what it is.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, Stephen Bass says, uncle, no Cho. Love y' all big fans. What's different about playing on Sunday night Football versus Monday night games? Can you give another childhood story about. You haven't told Ocho. What's the difference? You play on Sunday night. Play on Monday night.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know what? I don't really think it's no difference. Huh? I don't think there's no difference.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't think there weren't always Sunday night games.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, since the 70s, they've been Monday night. Monday night. You have everybody's attention everybody else in the NFL, because, you know, sometimes on Sunday night. Oh, teams are flying.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So now Monday night, everybody watching front, front, center, front and center.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Everybody front and center.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And it's, it's. Look, you got this. You got stage, center stage all to yourself on both nights. But a lot of teams are traveling and, and things might happen. They're getting dressed, trying to get up out of there, trying to get back to a location, and so they might miss something. But on Monday night, ain't nobody traveling nowhere. Everybody's already home. A lot of team. Some guys might be going to the Ape. Hey, man. Oh, we over at. We over at OO house tonight, man. Okay. All right, cool. Everybody watching. So you got everybody's undivided attention, but it's always great. I'm trying to think. No, ESPN didn't always have. Actually, games used to come on TNT on Sunday nights.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Tnt?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wait, TNT used to have Sunday Night Football? Huh? Oh, what was that in the 90s?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, okay. Oh, I'm gonna say, yeah, I have TNT. Back then. I had fire stick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, we had a tnt. I think, I'm trying to think when did. I'm not sure because I remember we played 95. I think 95. They might have been two games. I mean, ESPN and TNT might have had had a. Because we played Buffalo in 95 on TNT, but not. Yeah, was it. Man, I forget, man, that's so long ago. That's 30 years ago.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm trying to think, but, yeah, we used to play tnt. Hat.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Can you chase me? If I, if I. If I'm not mistaken, I think our Sunday night game, opening night, 1995, was on TNT. I'm almost certain of it, Ocho. I'm almost certain of it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know, it wasn't tnt because I'm a fire stick. I used to get the NFL games and I used to get wrestling this in the 90s. Now. Yeah, I wasn't paying it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was. It was tnt. Can you all find out when ESPN got Sunday Night Football? But look, I, I think if. Look, if you want everybody, a lot of people's gonna be watching, you know, because, like, during the day, a lot of people go to church.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So, you know, sometimes people don't get an opportunity to come back to what they watch the late game. Sometimes, you know, people in church now, especially in the black church. Oh, yeah, you definitely gonna miss that one o' clock game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Oh, listen, are you missing that? You get that halftime.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you go back.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, I go. I Go. I go to 10 o' clock service. You still won't get home to after halftime.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll miss that one.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Preacher be up there all day. The goddamn benediction. Gotta wait on the sermon. He got to get a word. Then you got. You got ties and offering. They got about four ties and offerings.

[Shannon Sharpe]

ESPN and they were both. They were NBC. Damn. So they had. So they are what it. At the same time. Damn. ESPN and what you call them with the tnt, it was airing games at the same time. NFL said, man, we losing money. See, why would. Why would we do that? Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah. Hey, it's hard. It's. It's hard to compete with the wrestling back then now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you see tnt, so. Oh, wow. So it was split broadcast. Okay, so it's. Okay. So that's what it was. TNT had like the first eight games and then ESPN had the second eight games. Michael said, uncle Nocho, continue to love this show. After working watching Josh Allen tonight, how long does it take Jed York to realize they overpaid Purdy Allen? Lamar is what 50 million plus quarterback look like? It's all about the market. It's all about the market now.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It's marketing. Timing, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Chad Ochocinco]

There are no other options. There's no other options. You're not finding another Josh Allen. No time soon. So the best available quarterback for the 49ers at that time was Brock Purdy. So you have no choice but to pay him because where else are you going to get one from?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lord have mercy. We had an opportunity to draft Josh Allen. The Broncos had an opportunity to draft Josh Allen.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And they didn't. They took Bradley Chubb at 5. Buffalo took Josh Allen at 7.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Wait, who's the quarterback at that time, though?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't give a damn who the quarterback was. We needed a quarterback.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Trevor Simeon. Who was it? Trevor Simeon. Okay. Allen had to be probably Trevor Simeon.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Manning had retired msq. How about the ending of the Niner Seahawks? Jake first catch, first touchdown game. Strip sacked by Nick Bosa. Moody. Gotta go. True. If Derek Henry is the running back with the ball and Cam Chancellor's safety coming downhill and they meet, who wins that matchup?

[Chad Ochocinco]

I'm going. I'm going. I'm going with Cam on that one. Cam, Listen, Cam has the size.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The weight distribution.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Be able to win that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. Yes. I take him. Cam had no regard for his body or yours at all. He blowing up everything. Tyra said. What's up, uncle no show. What in the world? Miami Dog what are we gonna do? My guy going on. They made Daniel Jones look like Peyton Manning and Tua was good and terrible. He was absolutely awful. Absolutely awful.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn, man. We gonna be all right though. I'm optimistic. If we lose against the Patriots, man, I'm done.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you might be done. Oh, yo, Bria Carter said should the Miami. Should the Dolphins cut or trade Tour? I don't think he's the answer.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Well, they ain't cutting. They ain't cutting nobody in the second year of a 250 million dollar deal. That, that's not happening. That's not happening. I do, I do see the direction in which the Dolphins are going. They're in a rebuilding phase. They're going young, getting rid of most of the, the older players. I love Jalen Ramsey. Next will probably be my young bull that wears number 10.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If things don't Rico Penn reek to the Steelers. Roman Roman Wilson and a third round, maybe a fourth.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Who to the Steelers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Reek Tyreek.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, it don't matter where he go. If you, you put him anywhere with a quarterback, man, you already know what that mean.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, you're gonna put him that you know who wants to pay if you got, if somebody got a quarterback. What they do already have Ocho a 30 million dollar receiver.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I'm just going to show you Ocho, sometimes the grass ain't always greener, is it?

[Chad Ochocinco]

It ain't but he was able to make it greener. He's the season same one with that same quarterback that has 17 back to back 17, 1700 yard season.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me ask you a question. When he's in Kansas City, how many times you see him doing this when he was in Kansas City? How many times you see him not go back into the game? Brad Patel said, ocho, how about your Bengals almost getting cooked by the Browns sorry ass Bengals?

[Chad Ochocinco]

See, I think people, people, they, people hear the Browns, they hear the Browns and they just think of a trash but they don't understand how good their defense is. Like I continue to preach it like I'm a Bengal at heart. You know that if I'm telling you how good they are, they're one of the few teams where the personnel is good at all three levels. Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome are extremely good man. First of all, for Miles Garrett, very good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a. I mean the way y' all feel about the Browns, that's how I used to feel about the Bengals. Oh, y' all were terrible in the 90s. I ain't gonna even Lie. I ain't gonna hold you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, it was bad. You ain't got to tell me. I know. I heard. Listen, I heard the stories.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Boy, y' all were good, y'.

[Chad Ochocinco]
