Description: NFL legend Shannon Sharpe—3x Super Bowl champion and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame—sits down with the biggest athletes, celebrities, and influencers to discuss their accomplishments, challenges, and everything in-between.

Introduction

In this engaging episode of Club Shay Shay, host Shannon Sharpe teams up with his co-hosts, including Ocho, to delve into pressing NFL topics. The main focus centers around the heated reaction to fans demanding higher pay for Micah Parsons at the Cowboys' training camp, alongside a vibrant debate about the league's top receivers.

Top NFL Receivers Debate

AJ Brown vs. Scheme Receivers

The discussion kicks off with Shannon Sharpe advocating for A.J. Brown as the best receiver in the NFL. Shannon emphasizes Brown's consistency and impact on the game, highlighting his ability to perform without relying heavily on complex schemes.

Shannon Sharpe [02:22]: "I like what he said. I like what he said."

However, Ocho challenges this perspective by arguing that other elite receivers like Jalen Jefferson, Jamar Chase, and Tyreek Hill aren't classification as "scheme receivers." Ocho contends that these players excel due to their natural talent rather than the offensive schemes designed around them.

Ocho [03:25]: "Chase ain't no scheme guy. Justin Jefferson ain't no scheme guy. Tyreek ain't no scheme."

Shannon responds by explaining that having a player like A.J. Brown allows offensive coordinators more flexibility, reducing the need for intricate play designs.

Shannon Sharpe [04:29]: "AJ Brown just happened to have that same skill set... when you have those players... I can do more with my offense because I know you can take care of your business."

Listing the Top Receivers

The hosts collaboratively list their top ten NFL receivers, discussing each player's strengths and the challenges defenses pose against them. The conversation underscores the impact of individual talent on team success and how different playing styles influence receivers' performances.

Ocho [07:09]: "So he's one two."

Reaction to Fans Yelling "Pay Micah" at Cowboys Training Camp

Fan Demand and Team Response

A significant portion of the episode revolves around the viral trend of fans demanding higher pay for Cowboys' defensive star Micah Parsons during training camp. Shannon and Ocho dissect the implications of this fan reaction on team dynamics and player negotiations.

Unknown Speaker [16:38]: "During Cowboys training camp, fans have been shouting Jerry at shouting at Jerry and Stephen Jones, pay Micah."

Stephen Jones addresses the issue, emphasizing that while the team is open to paying Micah, it ultimately depends on the player's willingness to accept terms.

Stephen Jones [16:38]: "He’s got to want to be paid."

Contract Negotiations and Player Value

The conversation shifts to the complexities of NFL contracts, using Micah Parsons as a case study. The hosts discuss how star players' demands can influence team budgets and the broader salary landscape within the league.

Unknown Speaker [19:12]: "He won defensive rookie of the year. He's a three-time first team All-Pro... he's been to the Pro Bowl every single year."

Shannon underscores Micah's value to the team, arguing that compensating top-tier players is essential for maintaining a competitive edge.

Shannon Sharpe [19:43]: "There’s only one person that can do that for him... Put my name in the hat. Don’t worry about that."

Broader NFL Implications

The hosts explore how Micah's situation reflects larger trends in the NFL regarding player empowerment, contract negotiations, and team management strategies. They debate whether teams are adapting adequately to retain their star players without compromising financial stability.

Player Contracts and Team Strategies

Rashawn Slater's Record Contract

The discussion moves to the recent signing of Rashawn Slater, who secured a groundbreaking four-year, $114 million contract with $92 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.

Unknown Speaker [36:14]: "Ocho charges reportedly signed Rashawn Slater four years, 114 million, 92 million guaranteed, making him the richest offensive lineman in NFL history."

Shannon and Ocho analyze how such lucrative contracts affect team budgets and the potential ripple effects on other players' salaries and team composition.

Shannon Sharpe [38:11]: "But it doesn’t change anything. We want to pay Micah too."

Balancing Star Salaries

The hosts discuss the challenges teams face in balancing star player salaries with the need to build a well-rounded roster. They highlight the importance of investing in both offensive and defensive stars to maintain competitiveness.

Unknown Speaker [38:38]: "Lane was like, bro, y'all just get me done."

Training Camp Insights and Player Performance

Unknown Speaker [31:44]: "Desmond Watson has lost nearly 30 pounds since joining the team. But he needs to lose more."

Shannon commends Watson's efforts, emphasizing the importance of health and fitness in enhancing on-field performance.

Shannon Sharpe [32:00]: "It's a good thing, especially in that Florida heat. I understand it."

Versatile Player Performance

The hosts admire players who showcase versatility, playing both offense and defense, and how such attributes contribute to team success.

Unknown Speaker [48:29]: "He spent the first two practices exclusively on offense, 36 snaps and played exclusively on defense the last two, 47 snaps."

[Unknown Speaker]

Brown is the best receiver in the NFL. He he went on Richard Sherman's podcast to explain why. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me hear that, let me hear that, let me hear that. Everybody on that list is from top four is mostly schemed open for me as a this is a db. I done seen Chase line up in the Backfield. I see Justin L. Up in the backfield. I seen Tyreek be getting a three point sands by the damn tackle guard and be motion across there. All I see is AJ Doing is line up. Come see about me if you want to see about me. I'm over here. You know where I'm at. I'm not gonna go in this backfield. I'm not motion out of there and getting and get isolated on linebacker. None of that. I'm coming to see your best dude to make your best dude look like that's your worst dude. He don't run from no smoke. So him at people having him at five and then people want to talk about the quarterback play. All these guys got like real deal, like professional, like pro pro type of quarterbacks. They always say hurts this and hurts that. Out of all of them would have come down his passing. But like I say, hurts. Throw the best deep ball. And guess what? AJ Brown most likely the best at catching that D ball. I like that. I like what he said. I like what he said.

[Unknown Speaker]

We don't have to, but I disagree with him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Which part? Talk to me. Let me let you go first.

[Unknown Speaker]

Chase ain't no scheme guy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Unknown Speaker]

Justin Jefferson ain't no scheme guy. Tyreek ain't no scheme.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely not.

[Unknown Speaker]

Because their guy. Because their OCS are created.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bingo. I'm glad you said it. I'm glad you.

[Unknown Speaker]

It ain't my fault that, that, that. That AJ doesn't have a creative oc.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But he doesn't have to.

[Unknown Speaker]

But he doesn't have to. You don't. You don't get to win the triple crown and be a scheme. You don't have 1800 receiving yards in scheme. You that guy?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

You that guy?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

And when you that guy, you're that guy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I'm. I disagree.

[Unknown Speaker]

And I'm not saying that AJ isn't. It isn't. Isn't a. A good great receiver. However you want to. However you want to categorize it. But I disagree with Slay on that part that Chase and, and, and, and, and, and, and. And Jetta and Reek are sk. They're not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

They're not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I disagree as well. What Darius has to understand is when you have those players that are in your top five at the receiver position, A.J. brown is in a position where they have so many other weapons, where you don't have to be creative over there because you have a skilled player in A.J. brown. That is no different than having a Marvin Harrison chat. Listen to me closely. I'm not saying A.J. brown is Marvin Harrison. When Marvin Harrison lined up, what side he was gonna be on.

[Unknown Speaker]

He's on the right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's on the right. He ain't going nowhere. AJ Brown just happened to have that same skill set, that same dog in him and that DNA, DNA in him where he knows he can line up, he can get. I call it getting out the mud. You call and play. The officer coordinator don't got to worry about you. I just know Jalen Hurst could be blindfolded, call to play, slant route, curl out, whatever it may be. And he knows exactly where A.J. brown will be at, and he can get it out the mud. When it comes to Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, and some of these other receivers, sometimes you have to get creative in order to get them the ball. Why? Because they're gonna roll covers to him every time if you keep them in the same time. They really can't do that over there in Philly because you got that gangster in the back, in the backfield where you got to drop that fucking safety.

[Unknown Speaker]

Down in the box, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

But Justin Jefferson, you can line him up on this on the left side or the right side and say, we need you to get open the rest of the game. You could do tomorrow like that, too.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. My job as the OC Ocho, is to not let your job be easy. Cause if I just line him up there, I'm making job easy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Roll the coverage, find out where he.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is and just roll to him. That's it. Period.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm gonna make you find my guy. But there are guys you can scheme and you still can't get them open. Chase. Chase him, Jetta him. That's why almost everybody's listening. When you see receivers come out, they're.

[Shannon Sharpe]

One two, same ones.

[Unknown Speaker]

He's one two.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

And even though Tariq Reek had a bad year and that's. And look. And I'm not saying because I like A.J. a.J. Is a big, physical receiver. He's gonna catch the ball in traffic. He's tremendous. Run after the catch. He is. He can catch the deep ball. And sometimes he gets frustrated because he's not involved as soon as he thinks he should be or as much as he should be. And he have lapses sometime, but he's phenomenal. But that's why I disagree with Slay. I. I get what he's saying. He's like, look, the guy just lines up on one side and he says, okay, come see me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But see Ocho. Yeah. Go ahead.

[Unknown Speaker]

With that being said, even if Chase is not lined up on the same side. He still say, you still got to come see me. Whether I'm in the slot, whether I'm on the right, whether I'm on the left. You still got to deal with me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, and there are a few players like that, too. There are a few players. If we were just playing basic football and saying, okay, we breaking the huddle. I formation, and you just line up on the same side every single time, and the defense knows exactly where you're going to be. There are a few players, maybe eight or seven of them that can say, you know what? I'm leaving you on that island and you just going to have to get open.

[Unknown Speaker]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That can actually do it. And it makes the officer coordinating job easy. When you have those type of players, it ain't that many of them at receiver. Everyone else, we have to condense splits. You have to put them in motion. You have to do all these things to get them open. Everybody can't get out there and just get out, get out, get it out. The muscle, it ain't right. It's very, very difficult.

[Unknown Speaker]

It is. But y' all doing them a disservice because if everybody knows where he is, look here. They ran stunts with lt. They ran stunts with Reggie and Bruce. That don't mean they couldn't do it. But I'm not trying to just, hey, let's try to make the job easier.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

So like I said, I. I get what Slay is trying to say. He's like, look, just imagine had if they moved him around, just imagine, you know, instead of just lining up as the ex.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he.

[Unknown Speaker]

He lined up, you know, they put him in the slot and they did different things with him. They stacked him so forth and so on. Okay, fine. But Jamar Chase is not a scheme receiver. Neither is Jetta, neither is Tyreek. Now, I don't know the other. Other guys that within the top, I think they had aj. So I don't know if it was Puka or if it was Nico Cop. Yeah. CD Lamp. Well, cd. CD is. Is mainly plays in the slot. He can go outside, but he's mainly in the slot.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The funny thing about those top five you just named is you could put. You could. You could switch the team. You put AJ In Cincinnati. You could put Chase in Philly. I can't hear you. You hear me?

[Unknown Speaker]

I hear you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, there you go. You back, you back. I'm blurry. You can see me.

[Unknown Speaker]

No, I'm. I'm looking at me. Did my life. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I say all. All those players we talk about, like, they interchangeable. You can put them on any team and they're going to be productive. Yeah, they're going to be productive no matter where you at. You can put Tyreek in Philly, Tyreek and Tyreek in Miami, Tyreek in Cincinnati, Tyreek in Dallas or just put in. They all gonna be able to get open. All of them. Now, once you get out that top seven or eight or 10. Now, we need to look. We need to look.

[Unknown Speaker]

Not even change. Not. Not look. I think the thing is, is that, you know, Chase was one, J.J. jenna was two. Reek was three. CD was four. AJ was five.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Almond Ross, St. Brown, Malik, neighbors, boys, but boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nasty boy. Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

I think Nico Collins cracked the top 10.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nasty good.

[Unknown Speaker]

Mike Evans. Oh, no. Garrett.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Nico was eight. Mike Evans and Garrett Wilson, another one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Get you, get you. Get you out. The muscle can line up and get.

[Unknown Speaker]

It's only.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's so funny. It's only a few of them. As many receivers is as there are in the NFL. It's only a few. I'm leaving you out here. I call it. I call the receivers that the offensive coordinator don't have to worry about. You make my job easy because I can do everything. I can do more with my offense because I know you can take care of your business. I ain't got to worry about you.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. I think the thing is that when you leave a receiver in one position now, you let them set their defense and they can like. Okay, do we enroll the coverage here? No. Find me, Catch me if you can find me. I'm playing hide and seek. I'm in the slot. I might motion out of the backfield. I might mount up at Z. I might line up an X. Ain't no telling. Hey, hey. The slide, the wing, whatever, you know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If you know what you know. It's a good point, too, with Darius Slay just said now you get a better understanding of why AJ Was frustrated last year. Because there.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, well, I knew why.

[Shannon Sharpe]

There was no creativity. There was no creativity. You leave me on one side and allowing the defense to dictate what we want to do. Why? Because they allow Jayla Hurst to play in the play into the confines of that offense and not do anything extra outside of that. Where if they. If they're gonna let you catch the ball, it got to be one on one.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. And, yeah, I knew why. Everybody knew why. And they tried to dress it up. Jalen Hurst was throwing for 120 yards. Yeah, you're not gonna win the championship with that. And he got better and better as you see. Go look at his playoff numbers. They got better and better. And in the super bowl, he was sensational. Every time he got one on one, he made him play for every. He made him play for. Every time they gave him one on one, he made him pay because Spags were not gonna. He was not going to let Saquon beat him. He neutralized Saquon, but in the process of that, he left his corners on an island.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah. You saw what happened. As a matter of fact, I'm. Let me.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm gonna just throw this out there too. My honorable mentions as well. They've given you a small sample size on what they can do when Tank tail come. When Tankdale comes back and he's healthy.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, he didn't come back this year. I don't think he come back this year. 26.

My young bull over there in Baltimore. Is they flowers?

[Unknown Speaker]

[Shannon Sharpe]

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. See, that's. That's what I don't like. The. The number. The number. The number of people that belong in the conversation. Some people get left out that are just as consistent as Amara St. Brown or CD Lamb. Lamb account stay open.

[Unknown Speaker]

I think you're gonna have a big deal.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Flowers. He stay open in that slot. I mean, but that's another conversation for another day.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, I mean, look, when you have a top 10, obviously you gotta leave somebody out because you only got 10 slots. They like, give me 10 best rappers. Well, somebody gonna get left out because there's a thousand rappers past and present. You go, okay, give me your ten best R B singers. Well, you're gonna leave somebody out if you go, okay, give me your 50 best, you know, women R B singers. Somebody's gonna get left out. Yeah, you only got 10 slots, so. And you have to be okay because, like, man, you know, I. Bro. It is what it is. And people gotta understand that that doesn't mean. And you might make somebody else's list and not, you know, not someone else's, but.

Learn [e-mail] oh during Cowboys training camp, fans have been shouting Jerry at shouting at Jerry and Stephen Jones, pay Micah. Pay Micah. Stephen spoke to reporters about it, said it doesn't change anything. We want to pay Micah too. He's got to want to be paid.

[Shannon Sharpe]

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

[Unknown Speaker]

Jerry also keeps calling Micah Michael Parsons. What you mean he want to get paid but he don't want to pay. He don't want y' all to pay. What y' all want to pay him? Because see, y' all think y' all gonna pay him at a discount. And he already told you that ain't gonna happen. The discount was two years ago. It ain't now. Because that was before you let Max Crosby reset the market. That was before you let Danielle Hunter reset the market. That was before you let Miles Garrett reset the market. And that you let T.J. watt reset it again. That was before all of that. Now, I don't know what y' all talking. We have 42 and a half. I don't know what. Well, I don't know what you're talking. I want to get paid, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

And matter of fact, since you keep talking trash in the media, in the news, and you're not calling me by my right name, make it 43 for good measure.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, you know what? My mama named me Micah. Call me Micah. You call me Michael too many times. 44. And as a matter of fact, since. Since Stephen came out and said, oh, Michael gotta want to be. Michael gotta want to be paid. 45. Lying on me. He lied on me. That man want to be paid, but he ain't gonna let y' all pay him. What y' all want to pay him? Y' all always wait till the last minute. Oh, y', all. I have. Look, here's the thing. I promise you, it is cheaper to get your car service than it is to get it repaired. Listen, what I felt.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's Sunday. Come on now. Come on, Pastor. Bring that back.

[Unknown Speaker]

It's either to get your car serviced than it is to get it repaired. Now, the choice is yours.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good one, Michael.

[Unknown Speaker]

You could have. You could have serviced Michael. Now you got to repair him, which means you got to make him whole.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, if I had a. If I had a collection plate, I'd pass it around.

[Unknown Speaker]

That was a go. And that's the OO that's how it works. The longer you let something go, the more it's going to cost. The price is not coming down on Micah. Did you think the prices was coming down on Michael Parsons? The guy's a. He won defensive rookie of the year. He's a three time first team all pro. Now, he didn't make. I don't think he made all pro last your first team. But he's a pro. He's been to the pro bowl every single year. Hold on. The price is only going up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Because, listen, I got to get that pen and pad because that was. That was a bar.

[Unknown Speaker]

You gave me a bar.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, bring. Hey, bring that. Bring that. I got to use that in my next argument. Hey, bring me. Give me that line one more time.

[Unknown Speaker]

It's easy to get your car serviced, that it is repaired.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

I don't know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know the context and when I'm gonna be able to use it, but I'm gonna use that.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, you'll be able to use it. And that's the thing. The man's been asking for a contract. But what does Jerry like to do? Wait until the umpteenth hour. He waits until the umpteenth hour and then wonder why that cracked him over his head both times. That hit him over his head both times. Dak with 60. I mean, 40 did. He went to 60. Since y' all making me wait. Get what gonna cost you next time, Sydney.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dang.

[Unknown Speaker]

Cause clearly, y', all, they've been telling people for the longest, we like Cooper Rush. We like Cooper Rush. Really? Y' all like Cooper Rush, huh? Y' all should have put him in.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Play games if you want to.

[Unknown Speaker]

Y' all. Should I. If y' all like Cooper. If you like Cooper Rush as much as you say you did. Would have never gave Dak 60 million.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They just. They just talking on you. You understand who the type of caliber quarterback that can carry your team or at least give you a chance to win.

[Unknown Speaker]

And Dak knew from the moment that Cooper Rush was a free agent and not one person bit Dax. Y' all stuck like Chuck.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But they know, you know, the eye and sky don't lie.

[Unknown Speaker]

All.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All 31 other teams, they get to see film, too. They get to see film too.

[Unknown Speaker]

They do.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You can say they do. Listen, as. As owners and as GM and, And managers, you can say what you want to verbally, but when you turn the film on, if it don't match and it don't align with what you say about a player, they not going for that.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. And every once in a while, oo, you can go into the draft and you will find a. You get a Russell Wilson in the third round, you'll get a Dak Prescott in the fourth round, you're never gonna get another Tom Brady in the sixth round. So stop looking. Stop looking. That was. That was the Hope Diamond. You found the Hope diamond unicorn. Yeah. So stop looking. But you do. Sometimes. You. You'll be able to find you a. A really good quarterback that's not a first round draft pick or not a high draft pick. But without that guy in today's game and the way the game is set up today, the way they've handicapped the defense and why They've propped up the offense. Without that guy, you ain't winning. No, you're not. You're just not. You can't play defense good enough, not today, to overcome inadequate quarterback play, correct?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely not. Listen, it can work. It can work. During our era, you play defense and have a decent quarterback that does.

[Unknown Speaker]

Decent quarterback. Nice running game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No disrespect. The Bears, when they played the Colts in the super bowl, the identity for that Bears team was what? Their defense?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No disrespect to Rick Grossman. No, no disrespect.

[Unknown Speaker]

But he was Rex Grossman going against Peyton Manning.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Come on now. But that defense was unbelievable that year.

[Unknown Speaker]

And, and the thing, what happened, it started raining, but if you go back and look, the Colts almost ran for 200 yards.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Joseph Adai, right? Joseph Adai.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, it was Joseph Adai. And the, what was the other guy? Name. I forget his name. Ocho. But they had a two headed monster. That was, that was, that was the difference in the game. But in today's game, to wait, the way they played today, the way the rules are set up today.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Have a quarter.

[Unknown Speaker]

Nah, you got to, you got to, you got to. And I, I don't, I don't know what Jared's waiting on. Maybe he thinks the price is gonna, you know, the bottom is gonna drop out of this. It ain't. You mess around and let him have 20 sacks, what you're gonna do. And now he gonna hit you over the head for 50 million.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How about. What if he just plays it out and goes somewhere else?

[Unknown Speaker]

But see, but see, again, that's where the NFLPA should have come in, because you got two franchise tags. Damn. So the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now you see, there you go. Prime example of why I should be appointed the director of the nflpa. Because that's, that's one of the things I'm getting out. Franchise tag, okay. They got to go. Guaranteed. Let's implement, let's implement guaranteed contracts. Let's talk about that.

[Unknown Speaker]

I want no franchise tax.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I want health benefit.

[Unknown Speaker]

I want lifetime health benefits.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, Come on now. Come on now. You think, man, listen, I might, I might joke and laugh, but when it comes to business, and I put a suit and tie on, it's a whole different ball game.

[Unknown Speaker]

Well, they definitely need somebody that, that, that's, that's shrewd. Understands the aspect of it. Knowing that what was headed down, what's headed down the, the, the track in the next couple of years and then, you know, you're reading all this stuff about there might be Some, some criminality involved with this. It's just not, it's, it's not a good look for the nflpa. Now I kind of, you kind of understand kind of what it's been. It's been lacking proper representation for lack of a better, for lack of a better word. Ocho. It's just hopefully I, I hope, because, look, you and I don't benefit from it anything anymore.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Not at all.

[Unknown Speaker]

But I just want the, I want the players that's now and the ones that's going to be coming in, I want them to get the maximum bang for the buck.

[Shannon Sharpe]

There's only one, there's only one person that can do that for him. You hear me? There's only one person. Listen, that, that, that would not only represent the players, but will represent the NFL. Pennsylvania, that's me. Put my name in the hat. Don't worry about that.

[Unknown Speaker]

You gonna put your name in there?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Put my name in hat. Most definitely. Most definitely. I mean, who, who, who better? Who better? Come on now.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, no, you ain't been keeping up on, you ain't been keeping up on things.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm keeping up. I do my homework now. Don't, don't, don't let it look a few laughs and little jokes, know, throw you off your game. I, you know, I just, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm hip. My eye, my eyes can see, my ears can hear, my nose, I can smell. Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

I want Michael to get paid now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He gonna get paid. I don't like the fact that they're allowing all these days to go by and he's not practicing. And when he does get paid, he's going from 0 to 100. I don't like that.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, hopefully it doesn't have any, you know, knock on wood, doesn't have any. Because you know what normally happens? Soft tissue.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. Because the body, the body has to get used to the pushing, the pulling, the tugging, the ripping, the just. Oh, man. Make no sense.

[Unknown Speaker]

It doesn't, it doesn't. Because I mean, if I mic, I'm thinking like, bro, what do I have to do?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, I've done everything right all pro.

[Unknown Speaker]

I've been to the Pro bowl every year. I've had double digit sacks every year. I've done everything that you've asked me to be. I've been a model citizen. Far as we know. He hadn't run a foul, hadn't been any trouble off the field. I've done everything that you've asked I've been a model citizen. I've been a great represent representation for this ball club. And now it's my turn. It is my turn. You know, Dak had his turn. CD had his turn. Trayvon Diggs had his turn. Steel had his turn. It now is my turn. At some point in time, Jerry, you got to be ahead of the curve. You always fall behind the curve, and that's why you got to pay so much. You falling behind the curve, you either Ocho, you either in. You either ahead of the curve, or you're in the curve. Because if you fall behind it, you're behind. Now you gotta pay extra. Catch up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This is a problem. When someone doesn't see anything wrong with the way they do things, there's no reason to change. There's no reason to change. If I did it to everybody else, what makes Micah any different? I did it, Jack. I did it to C. CD Lamb. I did it to others in the past, long before these players were even born. I've been doing it my way for a very long time. I'm not.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now, for what? Because winning's not my ultimate goal. It's making a profit and continuing to remain the most profitable franchise.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, I mean, but, I mean, look, you let one of your greatest defensive players go for nothing. Demarcus.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Where.

[Unknown Speaker]

Cause you thought he was done. All he did was go together.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

And play and play at an all, probably. And play at an all pro level until he was done.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So clearly, he doing something right, huh?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, yeah, I just. Like I said, you know, it's tough, but, I mean, you miss calling the guy's name. I mean, he's just been there five years. That's all.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Doing that on purpose, huh?

[Unknown Speaker]

I don't think he's doing it on. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, man. Jerry.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he ain't that old not to know his star player's name on defense, man.

[Unknown Speaker]

You know, the more people be calling, man, my girl man. Never called me by my real name. My. My granddaddy gave my brother name Spanky because he couldn't say Sterling, right? So he gave a name he could. Hey, Spanky. No, I mean to. To Bl. Like I said, I. Maybe it's. I mean, Micah. Michael. It's never been Michael. It's been Micah. Everybody knows the man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What if Micah is short for Michael and we didn't even know that.

[Unknown Speaker]

I think his name is Micah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, okay. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just.

[Unknown Speaker]

And no, no, Normally, Mike is short for Mike.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown Speaker]

Not Micah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown Speaker]

But hey, maybe they'll. Let's let. You know what. Don't you. We. We got Google maybe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you might.

[Unknown Speaker]

I mean, he ain't mentioned he. I ain't never heard him see it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, we might want to fact check that because nobody knew Chad was short for Chadwick.

[Unknown Speaker]

Michael Aaron Parsons.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, his middle name Aaron.

[Unknown Speaker]

Because what I just said.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, listen, his mama named him Aaron. I'm calling him Aaron from now. From now on.

[Unknown Speaker]

And he just turned 26 years of age in May.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Unknown Speaker]

So. Yeah, I. I don't know what that's about. Ocho. The Buccaneers will not allow undrafted free agent D lineman Desmond Watson to practice until he gets in better shape and reaches an undisclosed weight goal. Watson weighed 464 pounds at his pro day earlier this off season and has lost nearly 30 pounds since joining the team. But he needs to lose more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good thing, especially in that Florida heat. I. I understand it.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. I understand they like, you ain't. You ain't been to keel over on us.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But. But also remember, he played right in Gainesville, right down the street. He ain't played that far away. So I'm sure he's used to the heat, but I think him losing, he.

[Unknown Speaker]

Used to run it like this.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. It's different.

[Unknown Speaker]

It's different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think he or they understand that he will be able to perform better at his position at a smaller weight and not allow to get out there and practice until he sees fit. Until they see fit. Him being ready. I have a question. He's £400 right now. How much do you think V weigh?

[Unknown Speaker]

No, he ain't £400. He's 434 right now. Oh, he was forcing when he started that. He was almost 500 when I think when he got to Florida, he weighed 464 at his pro day. I think he's 434 currently.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown Speaker]

I could see them wanting him somewhere between 4 and 415.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you think Gilbert Brown wore Wade when he played?

[Unknown Speaker]

Probably 380. But this Watson is tall. Watson like 6, 5, 6, 4, 6, 5, maybe 6. 6.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He that tall?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, I think so.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn. Hey, he quick. Quick, too. What? His short hair, quickness. He real quick with it. Hey, boy, when he get out on that field and they got him and Vita versus in. In the eight. In the eight games.

[Unknown Speaker]

Ocho, he's six. Six what? Yes. Yes. I told you he tall. Yeah, he a big yes. And so you know hey, the tall. That's why Gilbert, you know, Gilbert was probably 3, 73, 80. Because Gilbert probably 6 2, my man. 6, 6. Do you know how much weight the higher you stack something, the heavier it can get?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, damn. I know he was that tall. He looks short.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When he was at Florida, he, he.

[Unknown Speaker]

Looks short because he's so big. Six, six, six.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But ain't nobody gonna be able to run the ball. Boy. Vita vea and him in that goddamn A gap. Mm, man, you damn.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, but I, but I think just for general health purposes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right, right, right, right, right.

[Unknown Speaker]

Understand, he got to get down.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Understandable, understandable. You're gonna be a force to get out there, though. I know that.

[Unknown Speaker]

I hope so. Ojo, I, I'm, I'm, I'm pulling for young fella. I'm pulling for it, you know, to come in at almost 500 pounds to get a scholarship, to get his. Get down to 464. Now he's probably down to 434. I mean, people don't understand, but that's still a big ass, man. £400. Let that sink in. He £400 and he athlete. He ain't just sitting around just eating. Yes. And he go, he own. He's only going to get so small. He's six six. And he's always going to have this problem, ocho, because his body knows, hell, I carry 500 so I can do it again. So he, he's always gonna have to fight that battle of his body going back to where it was comfortable. His body was comfortable there, right? And that's what I tell when people ask me to say, well, you know, man, I want to lose it. I said, let me ask you a question. What is the weight you can get to and you don't have to kill yourself to stay at it. Because if you got to kill yourself, the one two days that you don't kill yourself, you go right back to it, right? So where can you get to a weight that's comfortable for you that you don't have to kill yourself to maintain it? And in the process of doing that, stop saying diet. Because diet have start and stop dates. Say I'm embarking on lifestyle change.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gotta, you gotta have discipline too, huh? There's one thing to say it and do it in season for six months, but what's going to happen the next six months where you're not playing? You got to be able to stick to that plan, whatever that plan may be hard too. That's hard.

[Unknown Speaker]

Especially when you been well if yes, he, he's been. It's hard for me to see a scenario where Desmond Watson was not always a large kid. Large child, large kid, large teenage. He's only 22.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

So he's probably being large. He's probably. It's hard for me to see a scenario where he wasn't at least a 10 pound baby. Hell, I was 10 pounds real.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I would. Yeah, yeah, I was 12. That's crazy.

[Unknown Speaker]

I was, I was 10 pounds. So it's hard. And, and I'm, I, and I'm not, you know, I think I'm normal, but I'm not a normal guy. I mean, I'm 250. He outweighed me by almost 200 pounds. So it's hard for me to believe that he weighs 6, 7 pounds as a baby and now all of a sudden he this side.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown Speaker]

I mean, look, it's not always, but a lot of times big babies be big kids be big adults. But I'm rooting for him. I sure hope he can. I hope he can pull this off. He can get this down. Ocho charges reportedly signed Rashawn Slater four years, 114 million, 92 million guaranteed, making him the richest offensive lineman in NFL history. He just passed Tristan Worth, who did a deal. His 28.5 is 380, 000 more than Tristan Worth. Panay Sewell was at 28 million, Trent Williams at 27.55, and Christian Darasol is at 26 million.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wait a minute, where's Lane Johnson?

[Unknown Speaker]

I think lane by 25.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, well, we know who finna reset that market then.

[Unknown Speaker]

They just did. But see, the thing is, Lane was like, bro, y' all just get me done. Because they always stay ahead of the curve with Lane because remember, they just did Lane. They just did my lotta. They just did Dixon, Dickerson, Dickerson, A.J. devonte, Saquan, Jaylen. Now you got that big dog coming down the pike.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They gotta say they gotta save everything they can for that one. That's, that's gonna break the. Hey, that's, that's gonna break the bank.

[Unknown Speaker]

Just like. I don't know if you remember that. Welcome Back Carter. It was Carter, but welcome back Carter. Cause hey, you got to welcome him back with open arms. Cause in the next five years, he gonna be the dominant defensive. He, he could easily be the dominant defensive player in football. He has that kind of ability going.

[Shannon Sharpe]

In year three, right?

[Unknown Speaker]

This year three, yes, yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But he would get paid after this season with the way Howie and He could. Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes. Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn, that's dope.

[Unknown Speaker]

Lane. Lane. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't they just do redo Lane last year, Ash? Yes, they just redid him last year making 25.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Unknown Speaker]

But he. That boy, Lane. Hey, well, hey, I don't need to be. Hey, I don't need to be the highest paid. Just keep me up there. Just keep me up there somewhere. Now we got money to go around. We can keep this team together and I can continue to win. Cause, man, it's easy to go out there and stay healthy and fight with when I know, hey, every week we got a chance to win this thing. But, boy, these salaries are going crazy. I mean, an offensive lineman making 28 million. Damn. Nearest that got to be the Blind side.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Please tell me he's a left tackle.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes, he left.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I was going to say. Well, that's. That's the. That's the.

[Unknown Speaker]

Listen, well, D. Well, Panul and Lane are right. Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

And Slater, worse. They move Tristan to the left side because he started out as a right tackle, obviously. That silverback, Trent Williams, he been a 10 Pro Bowls. He's been that boy for a minute. I still. Look, I love all these guys. I love them all. But healthy, he the best in the business. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Even at his age.

[Unknown Speaker]

Absolutely. When he. Everybody at the absolute best. Trent, that boy, he him. And I love Lane Johnson because Lane ain't nothing to play with all these guys. I mean, that's why they make the money. They make Tristan worth a penisul. Hey, all these guys, Darren Shaw. I think Darren Shaw was injured last year. All these guys are good. But at his best, he need to be played with. Jim Harbaugh says Justin Herbert biggest weakness is offensive teammates must get to his level. I see him at the level. That's the highest level of the quarterback. First five season, nobody's thrown for more yards than NFL history. This is the truth. Justin Herbert's biggest weakness is all of those that are counting on offense, coaches, office, live playmakers, receivers, running backs to get to his level. Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

You like him saying that?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. It's a good thing. It's a good thing. Listen, the. The. The players need to hear that. When you got a quarterback playing at that kind of level, we need everybody else to show up. We need everybody else to show up. And he's really talking about the skill position. Honestly, that. That's what he's calling out. I want one person. There's one person to meet.

[Unknown Speaker]

No he say he counting. He talking to coaches, offensive line, playbackers, receivers, running back. He talking to everybody on offensive side.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Coaches ain't on the field, but the people, the. The schemes and the X's and O's, that's one thing. But the people that's on. On that field and that green graph between them lines and they got everything.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

One person that I highly believe that I love the death and I'm hoping this is his year, and I need him to show up and show out, and that's Quentin Johnson. I need it. I need you to show up and show out and be the receiver that I know you could be so I can keep talking my.

[Unknown Speaker]

He had a couple of drops. I think he's been playing with drops.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but listen, every team has one. The Bengals have Jamar Chase. Well. And T. Higgins. You know, every team has one. That, that. That player that you can count on. I need Quinn Johnson to be that guy for Justin Herbert. Whatever he needs.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I need him to be that.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm trying to think if I ever heard a coach say that. I've never heard a coach say that. Maybe not publicly, maybe behind closed doors.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But it's a good thing Harbaugh's not one of those that's. That's going to shy away from what he wants to say and what he truly believes.

[Unknown Speaker]

No, no, no, no, he's not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I truly believe. I'm not saying it's in the meeting room. I'm saying it publicly. So you all know I need you to show up to do the job. I need all of you to be held accountable. Because I'm looking at the numbers that my quarterback is putting up, but it's not.

[Unknown Speaker]

But a lot of some of those numbers that he putting up because he's throwing interceptions early and he's behind in.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The game, having to catch back up.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. All yards aren't created equal.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good one.

[Unknown Speaker]

Because sometimes we look at the stat sheet and say, oh, he played good. Well, you do realize the only reason he was. Bro, you can't drown me. And then. And then bring me back to shore and talk about. Man. Hey. And I'm supposed to thank you for saving my life, bro. It was you that capsized the boat, right? You put us in this spot. I think Justin Herbert is a really good quarterback sometimes. I think he gets, you know, because of the physical traits, the abilities that he have, they see that big time. R. Moo. They see he can make every throw in the field. And you fall in love with that and it's easy. And it's easy. I can see why they fall in love with it. But it's easy for you to fall in love with winning because we've seen a lot of. I see a lot of guys have ability. They can throw the ball 80 yards. Can you make plays when you absolutely have to have them go back and look at the great ones. Look at Tom. What could Tom do when he needed to make a play? When he needed to make a throw, Tom did it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But hey, what. Wait, you heard what you just said. You said Tom did it.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When you need to make that throw, when you need to make those plays, the players caught him. When Herbert has to make those plays, you got lad McConkey has showed up. Yeah, I need two more than players on that offense show up every time consistently.

[Unknown Speaker]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

My brother.

[Unknown Speaker]

Who did they play? Didn't they play. Didn't they play Houston? They played Houston in the playoffs.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Who's the number two over there? You know, the number two receiver. Who's the number two receiver in the tight end?

[Unknown Speaker]

Didn't Palmer. I think Palmer. He ended up going. Didn't he end up going to Buffalo?

[Shannon Sharpe]

That was nice. Yeah, I think Palmer.

[Unknown Speaker]

And then they had Johnson, you know, Quentin Johnson. Been there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm trying to think who the number two is now, though.

[Unknown Speaker]

I guess it'll be Quinn Johnson.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah, he's not. No Q is the number one.

[Unknown Speaker]

So what's lad McConji too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because he's in the slot.

[Unknown Speaker]

That'll make. Well, Armin Ross St. Brown is in the slot. He number one. CD in the slot. He number one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, I see. Okay.

[Unknown Speaker]

And the one thing been consistent.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Set your clock by him nasty with it, boy. Set your clock by he nasty with it.

[Unknown Speaker]

If look, the thing about Harbaugh, he's old school. He got that coach. He played for Coach Jim Berkeley. He co. He played for Mike Dicker. And like my grand used to say, boy, they tell you like a tisd is it is. Hey, ain't no coaching. Bricklink wasn't sugarcoating it and Mike Dicker damn sure wasn't sugarcoating it. So Harbaugh, that's where he. That's where he. Who played under. He got coached tutelage under. Okay, this is what you're gonna get. He says, hey, this guy's playing at this level. I need everybody that's playing here and here to get to here.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Matter of fact, you know what that office need to look like? Goddamn Herbert, Mike Williams and Keenan Allen.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yep, I agree. I definitely agree with that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, we've never seen a player like this. Are there other players, if given the opportunity, could have done this? Maybe, maybe not. But if they could but they could have done it if they, you know, they would have done it. I mean, we've seen beyond. We've seen. We've seen Chan Bailey, we've seen Charles Woodson, but not to this magnitude.

[Unknown Speaker]

You know who played at a high level on both sides of the ball, and people don't forget about it? Roy Green. Who? Roy Green. Roy Green. Google it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Before my time.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, I remember Roy Green. He could play. What position he ended up going. He was a DB and a wide receiver. They said, no, we. Hey, don't worry. Don't worry about the wide receiver. Go, go. Going over here to this side. He end up going to the Pro Bowl. Roy Green. Go Cardinals. Look him up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oo, let me see. Let me see.

[Unknown Speaker]

No. Oh, yeah. He. Oh, Roy Green could play. Yes, Lord, Roy Green could play.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Here's this. I never heard of him.

[Unknown Speaker]

When you Google him, you'll hear of him. But damn, he would like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

God damn his sleeves. Way down by his elbow. He wore 81.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he got a nice little Jheri curl. Okay.

[Unknown Speaker]

Return punts, kickoffs. Oh, he did it all.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Roy Green, wide receiver, Phoenix. Phoenix Cardinals. You learned something new, huh? That's cool.

[Unknown Speaker]

He played. He was good. He was really. He was really, really good. Yeah, but it's amazing. See, I'm anxious to see him. I'm anxious to see him out there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I'm. I'm excited. I wonder. I wonder what? Jacksonville play week one. Take me a little trip. Right on down to Jacksonville, man.

[Unknown Speaker]

What you gotta deal with? Nico Collins and then you got Stingley.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's who they play week one.

[Unknown Speaker]

No, I'm just saying Tennessee's in that division. Yeah, you got Calvin Ridley, and then you got Legarius. Need.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I. I don't.

[Unknown Speaker]

I don't know. I don't know the DBs and Andy. But, you know, you got Pittman and you got Pierce.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

You got your handful now, and.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That'S just in the division.

[Unknown Speaker]

They're home. They're at home. Week one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Who they play, so.

[Unknown Speaker]

McMillan Panthers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, the Panthers. Hey, listen, I've been. I've been high on the Panthers. I've been high on the Panthers, and I'm only high on the Panthers because of the receiving call. Xavier Leggett, Jimmy Horn, T. McMillan. Hunter Winfrey.

[Unknown Speaker]

Thielen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Adam Thielen.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, Hunter Ren. Probably looking good in practice. I've been seeing so many clips. He be looking good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, listen, I. I call him. Put him in a. Put. Put you in a blender. He always been able to put people in a blender. You put him in the right position to make those plays. That's what he does.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. He got sick, though. Ooh, he got sick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is that what it was?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. They nice. They nice. And I said it here first on Night Cap. I'm telling you, when the Panthers transition to being a winning team this year and to be the surprise team of the NFL, I said it first. Keep pounding. Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

And you gotta understand Ocho sometimes he ain't gonna be getting. Travis ain't gonna be getting number one because they got Brian Thomas Jr. Over there. Yeah, you got to worry about him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, listen, matter of fact, when you think about it, when they play the Texans. Since the Texans. No, that's not their division.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, it is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It is a division.

[Unknown Speaker]

Texas, Tennessee and Indy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, let's say when he's at receiver, you got to deal with Stingley. And if you're not on Stingley side, then you got to deal with Lassiter. Ain't no slouch either. Based off. Based on his resume from last year, man. How about having your hands full? Yeah. Okay.

[Unknown Speaker]

Got chance for. He gonna have to be mentally locked in for literally 100 plays a game if he's trying to do this because any slip up mentally done, it's a game of inches. Yep. Todd Monkin said the Ravens offense has been committing false starts in training camp because they're stress, various cadences. It's real easy to get frustrated, which I do. I'm the king of overreacting. But if you do that, then you'll. You'll just snap the ball on one every time, and that doesn't help you either. So we're in a sweet spot now. It's time to practice that. We're going to fight that like heck to be good at it. We can't be elite at cadence. If other teams can be, we can be. Than we should be. If other teams can be, we can be. So in other words, hey, we got to use that hard cap. Peyton, Hardcount, Elway, all the. The really good ones were good at that hard count.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, you let.

[Unknown Speaker]

Hey, you let them defensive guys get, get, get. Get a beat on your.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it. It'd be good. But also sometime you don't have to complicate things. Huh? Some football is played when it's played in its purest form. It's when it's simple. When it's nice and simple. What you have offensively, you don't even have to add. Add the tricks. The tricks of the trade of having to use the. The hard count, it can be advantageous for you off. But you're so good on offense, you don't even have to do it.

[Unknown Speaker]

No, you're not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You don't have to. You don't have to complicate it.

[Unknown Speaker]

You're not that good. Going one and let them guys time well, them guys too. Good boy. Oh, Ocho, ucit sometimes they already, man. He offsides. No, he ain't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wait a minute.

[Unknown Speaker]

He just. When you say huh, he gone. That was me, Ocho. I was. Hey, hey, I get it. Hey, Ocho, we tried it because John. John was really good at the hard cat, but he get me sometimes. Like, damn. He like t. What the hell? You in the huddle. I'm like, I forgot. Yeah, I did. Ocho, I'll be trying. Hey, I'm trying to get out. Hey, hey. It must be a pass, man. Damn you. Where you. Where you going in a hurry, right? I'm going to the end zone. That's why I was going, but I get it. And that's what practice is about, Ocho. Sometimes people, you get frustrated in practice when things, you know, you snap, counter, you drop. But that. What the hell is practice?

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what it's for if it's supposed to be perfect on day three. What they on they on day three? Four, something like that. They just had pads on. I think the first day of pass was yesterday or maybe day before yesterday.

[Unknown Speaker]

I mean, so. So what are we supposed. We supposed to come out here and be perfect? That's the whole thing. The whole thing is like I'm practicing so I can get it right. And it's tough. Cause everybody, especially when you're tired. Oh, yeah, man, don't joke.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Fatigue makes a fool of us all, man.

[Unknown Speaker]

I ain't finna hold you, Ocho. I, I, I, I, I. I promise you ain't no titan jumped offsides more than me. I might not have a whole lot of records left, but jumping off size is what I. I think I would be. I'm bad. Please. I'll be gone. Gone.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, man, that's funny, man.

[Unknown Speaker]

And I may or may not have, you know, give me a couple extra yards. You know what I'm saying? That, you know, I'm saying, don't joke. Jump outside, give me a couple of extra. No, but, man, I'll be trying to. I'll be trying to get out. I ain't gonna lie. I'm not. Hey, I'm trying to jump off that rock because I'm Thinking I'm trying to be usain Boat out the gate. Yeah, but I, But I get Todd Mung and say, bro, we, we got to switch this thing up. Cause you let people lock Ocho, you let them lock in on that cadence. Them guys are really, them. Them TJ Watts and Bosas and Will Anderson juniors. The Michael Parsons. Them guys really good. Let them tie it up if you want to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

[Unknown Speaker]

Steph Curry on the shot that changed his life is the shot against Gonzaga. I really felt like that was the difference maker. Not to say I wouldn't have been able to figure it out had we lost, but that was a big moment. Oo. What was the play that changed your life?

[Shannon Sharpe]

The play that changed my life, especially from a receiver standpoint, was dropping the ball. It wasn't even catching the ball. I never forget. Rest in peace, Oliver Gibson. We were playing the Indianapolis Colts. I think it might have been my rookie year, maybe my second year. But to keep a drive going, we went for it on fourth down to keep a drive going to go down and maybe tie the game or actually win the game. I dropped the goddamn slam on fourth down. And here I am crying, getting just. You know what? Oliver Gibson came up to me, grabbed me by. Grabbed me by my shirt. It's a picture of it, too. I posted it on Twitter when he passed away. Grabbed me up on my shirt. Man, if you don't stop that crime because you're gonna have another opportunity to win us a game. Change everything, huh? But I got on that jug machine and just, just, I, I, I was different after that. From that point. I hadn't even become Chad Johnson yet. I was a nobody at that point after dropping that game and realized I just cost us a game is a game. And I always told myself, from that point on, I'll either be one of the reasons why we're in a game or we win games from that point on. And that's exactly what happened.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, the same thing happened to me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

In 1999, I dropped a touchdown that would have given us home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Unknown Speaker]

I still think about that play. Oh, I've been so sweet. Had me a. Oh, I was in attack. Ultra airtight.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Unknown Speaker]

I motion out. Linebacker went with me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Like say, I just ate it on him. Oh, y' all think today. Oh, y' all right here. I'm already thinking, oh, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It went right through your hands.

[Unknown Speaker]

Right, right through them, Right through a mocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's the worst feeling, boy. Dropping the ball.

[Unknown Speaker]

In the south end zone, man, I never forget. And I came to the sideline students who say, hey, Sharp, you get it back, you'll get it back. I'm like, you know, the opportunity ain't gonna come because. Oh, so it wasn't like I was the number one receiver. They gonna be feeding me balls, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right, Pause.

[Unknown Speaker]

They won't be feeding me. They will throw me no balls like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

False. Okay, okay.

[Unknown Speaker]

They were gonna be throwing me football. They weren't feeding me footballs like that. There you go, man. So I knew that opportunity was gonna come back that day. It might come back at a later date and time, but it wasn't coming back that day. And I remember Ocho, and so I dropped that play. And then at Wednesday's practice, man, I was catching. I was catching everything. I mean, I was taking stuff off my shoe tops. I was making stuff one handed. And then, I mean, he's like, I sure wish you'd have caught that one on Sunday like this.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sometimes say, listen, sometimes you relax at the wrong times. Yeah, anytime I drop the ball, it's.

[Unknown Speaker]

Because I relax, Ocho, you know what I did? I didn't extend. I did this like the ball and.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, damn.

[Unknown Speaker]

And so the ball just like, damn, boy, that hurt. Boy, that hurt. That hurt. That hurt. I remember going home crying. I called my brother, he said, man, what's wrong?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I said, man, so you wait till you got home. I was crying in the middle of the field.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, I wouldn't let him see. I couldn't let him see me cry because if somebody might have said somebody had a swing on somebody on the field. Oh, you make, you got jokes. Don't. Hey, listen, man, I was there that car, man, I was in that car.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Crying like, man, hey, you know, as.

[Unknown Speaker]

A matter of fact, OJ Had a photo blazer I'd never forget. Had a four door Blazer.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Boy, damn. You know me, boy. I let them tears fly, bro. I don't. I don't care where I'm at.

[Unknown Speaker]

Well, that thing hurt. That hurt. And I, And I agree with Steph. And he's like, I'm not. Not saying that I couldn't have figured it out at a later date and time, but I believe that was the moment that he's like, hold on, we Davidson, that's Gonzaga. And they, you know, they always. In the playoffs, they always wanted to, you know, and when he took them Down. Look, I, I had never seen anybody shoot the ball like that. Not, not from that kind of distance. Not just pull up like that. And he was, you know, like he's six two, like the average. He not six five, six four, six five. And he just letting it go. I mean, he danced on folks his shorts like three sides like if they made for his dad, you know what I'm saying? And he just letting it fly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Unknown Speaker]

He definitely left his mark.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, Davidson, I wonder, with so many three point shooters that have come along, what separated Steph and made him as good as he is, what made him so great? I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm just.

[Unknown Speaker]

They gave him the green light to do it. You see, prior to Steph, only a handful. Think about it. Ocho, everybody shooting threes now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Unknown Speaker]

That was a. How many times. That's a bad step. There's no shot that Steph takes that people actually believe is a bad shot.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown Speaker]

People were shooting some of the shots that Steph shoot routinely. End of the first quarter, end of the half, end of the shot clock.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown Speaker]

Stephan shoot that shot with 15, 16 seconds on the shot clock. But somebody had to give him the confidence, saying, that's okay. Mark Jackson was that guy. Now he shot that. And come to the NBA, guys weren't shooting no shots like Steph. Like, I mean, dad Reggie was a catch and shoot. Ray was a little. Was catch and shoot. But he could. Steph can dance and launch it from the timeline.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

You literally have to pick step up at half court or he'll let it go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. And you think because with his ability to be able to create separation, create his own shot, it makes it that much more easier for him.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes, absolutely. Because. And plus the thing is, if you hug up on it because he can handle, he can put it on the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Floor and get value. Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

He can get all the way to the rim. So now and then he runs constantly. He doesn't get tired. Because the first thing, if you get tired, your shot goes you short. He's in. He's probably the best conditioned athlete because nobody's running as much.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he run a lot. He run a lot.

[Unknown Speaker]

And he just let it fly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That'd be confusing when I think about basketball and you know, you're playing the warriors and as much as Steph run like me, you know how when you play defense and the DB say, listen, they in a bunch, we gonna banjo it. If you come in your area, you just pick him up, man, I forget, man. Just zone so you don't got to run all over the place after him.

[Unknown Speaker]

Okay? And now again. And guess what happens now when they back pick that zone, Guess what? Step wide open. They gonna run. They gonna run. They're gonna run you off so many screens.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that, that. That's. That sucks.

[Unknown Speaker]

And the thing is. And when you miss a shot, you would think because they're such a small team.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They are small. Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

That they're not gonna. They're one of the better rebounding teams. So when they get these long rebounds off the carom, Steph automatically goes to reset. So now you playing zone, okay? He go reset to one of those corners. He'll. He'll get it and he'll come all the way across in the corner and. And then he'll come up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's crazy.

[Unknown Speaker]

But some giving you confidence, like to. To shoot. Shoot it, son. No words. We're not going to take you out. Shoot the ball.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, nobody else got the green like he does, huh?

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, they like how guys got it now, but he made it. Okay, now you see everybody shooting three lo. They shooting down to 70 a game between the two teams.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They. They are not as efficient as he is.

[Unknown Speaker]

No, but you think about it. At this point in time, Buddy Hill is ahead of where Steph Curry was with threes made. Anthony Edwards. Yes. Because nobody was shooting him. They're shooting them now, right? Look at Jason Tatum. Look how many threes he shoots a game. Look how many ant man shoots a game. Buddy Hill, even though Buddy wasn't a star, Buddy was coming and letting the three go. Everybody letting. Everybody let the three go. Now it's the three. And everybody think they. Steph Curry.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Are you watching the aau? AAU kids, every age group now, they shoot. They shooting from three.

[Unknown Speaker]

They throwing the ball because they can't. They can't shoot it cause they so small, they throw it. All right, Ocho, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. It man. Go ahead. Close that door. Tay Tay to wave. What's good, Uncle Nocho? Who's the most. Who has the most approved this season? All. All love. Hope the fam is doing good. Who has the most approved this season? Take your P. Josh Allen, Joe Burrow. Lamar, you can make a case for Dak Prescott. Coming off an injury plague season. Who do you think has the most approved mocho this season?

[Shannon Sharpe]

This season? Oh, that. Oh, that's a good question. You would think it would be all the teams that are. I call It. I call it precious situations that have to get it done. Lamar Jackson, your Josh Allens, your Joe Burrows, obviously Aaron Rodgers. All the lights are really going to be on him on what he's going to do. Let me see. There's no pressure on CJ Stroud, no pressure on Jaden Daniels, no pressure on Jordan Love. Maybe golf. Maybe golf might have a little bit of that pressure as well. To finally deliver as well as they've been doing, they've been going in the right direction. What about Tua? You think Tua has something to prove as well?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, you got to prove he can stay healthy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, that. That's. That's. That's about it. Everyone else is. Is kind of safe.

[Unknown Speaker]

Aaron Jones. Hey. Nightcap. Much love up. You know, last year Eagles would have whooped your Ravens. We were going great on both sides of the ball, bro. Y' all ain't beat nothing. Yeah, what rules are we playing under? Are y' all gonna let us knock the hell out y'? All?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah, let's. Let's play the rules back then. 2000 ain't.

[Unknown Speaker]

No way. No way. Hey, no way.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Saquon might have had what, maybe 20, 30 yards, if that.

[Unknown Speaker]

Who gonna catch the ball over the middle? I don't know. If y' all go back and look at that paper and how many people we knocked, they knocked out of the game. I don't think quarterbacks, wide receivers out. You got to realize there was no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Defenseless receiver rules back then.

[Unknown Speaker]

And there was none of that. Oh, you couldn't hit the. You couldn't hit the quarterback. This place or that place. No, bro. I like our chances. Aaron. Sean, the wise one said you're wrong. Shannon. He said that they constantly get put favorable position where the best corner isn't always guarding them. Unlike AJ Brown.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wait, the best is. The best corner is guarding everybody we named in that conversation, especially the top five. It's always the best corner.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes. Most of these corners, I mean the really good ones travel.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

And plus you got. And a lot of these play. A lot of these teams don't have a comparable Devonte. So if Devonte start cooking, well, guess what? Guess where the number one corner gonna go to devonte. And then AJ start cooking. Cooking the number two. No, I'm not wrong, bro. These are not. You can dress it up however you want to. Chase Jetta and Reek aren't scheme receivers. I don't believe they're scheme receiver. You don't. You don't become the triple crown. You don't. You don't put up the numbers that they putting up being schemed, because that was the case.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everybody would do it, huh? Yes, that was the case.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes. Yeah. Brock Sloan. The Panthers have the most diverse wide core, wide receiver core ever. They have Leggett, McMillan, Renfro, feeling Jimmy Horn, plus Jalen Coker.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen, they have the right balance of veterans, rookies, and those that are on the cusp of arriving. Not very many people that are proven yet, but I'm telling you, they could be special. They could be special. All they have to do, just consistency week in and week out and just be there for Bryce. I'm telling you, they gonna shock all you almost cursed again. They gonna shock all you people who doubt them. And I'm very, very, very high on that. Panthers receiving core just week to week, keep pounding and be consistent. That's it.

[Unknown Speaker]

If Jimmy Horn can take what he's doing in training camp, preseason OTAs and translate that, if Leggett can take that next step, be that big physical receiver, consistent receiver that they drafted him to be, Renfro is tremendous in the slot. I like feeling he's consistent. McMillan. I agree. I, I like that Ocho. I like that pig. I, I, I can't say that you're wrong. Kristen Noriega, Pittsburgh Steeler Nation here. Big shout out to Unk and Ocho. My question is, should Washington go back to the previous name with their logo back? Why? You think they're gonna win more?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, well, Trump 45. 45 said if they don't go back, he's going to withhold something in pertaining to building of a new stadium, something like that, right?

[Unknown Speaker]

No, we'll just wait till we leave office and then build it in. But he also said that presidents should stay out of the naming of teams.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, okay.

[Unknown Speaker]

But at the time, he wasn't the president, so normally when you hear him talk, things aren't applicable to him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, I got you now.

[Unknown Speaker]

When it could become applicable to him, they should intervene. They should weigh in. We shouldn't be in we as when he wasn't president. We shouldn't be intervening in wars, fighting overseas. Now that he's in president, we're intervening. So it seems to me, when it's not applicable to him, don't do it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown Speaker]

When it's applicable to him, do it. That's my thoughts on that. Real estate. If you guys have switched, where would you ra you got drafted in teams? Do you, do your guys think you would have had the same careers? Better, Worse. The same? No, I went to the right situation. I went to Denver. They were one of the two or three teams that had the H back position. I had a quarterback that believed in me, that was patient with me, saw the ability, but knew I needed time to grow into the position. And he had patience. Everybody wasn't gonna have patience with me like that. So, no, my career would not have been the same had I gone to Cincinnati, had I gone somewhere else. I needed to go to Denver. A coach that believed in me, that put me in offense, that called plays for me. John believed in me, gave me time to develop. No, I am not the player. I'm not the Pro Bowl. I'm not the all Pro. I'm not the hall of Fame player. If I go somewhere else, I have a question. That is my belief now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Your situation was different from mine when I went to Cincinnati. Cincinnati was the laughingstock of the NFL at that time. If you remember executive on consecutive losing seasons.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, y' all were terrible.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. You had to say all that.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, my bad, my bad. That slipped off.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was bad. So hypothetically speaking, if I go to a better situation, I still would have been the same player.

[Unknown Speaker]

What if they don't let you. What if they'll let you behave in the matter that you behave in?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I was just. I was just having fun.

[Unknown Speaker]

But everybody gonna let you have fun.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Me, if I'm putting up the numbers, I'm putting up. Yes, I am.

[Unknown Speaker]

Okay. Okay. Well, why don't you do that in New England?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, because. Yeah, that's a no go.

[Unknown Speaker]

Everybody ain't gonna let you do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's West 1 team.

[Unknown Speaker]

But that's what I'm. What if you go to that team, you go to the Bears. They're not gonna let you do that. That the old. The old school coaches back then.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, check this out, boy. If I was in Chicago, why would have turned Soldier Field upside down, you hear me? Could you imagine me as a bear in my prime?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, I can imagine you and Coach Dicker butting heads.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What, man? But listen, Dick would have loved me, boy.

[Unknown Speaker]

He Dicker and McMahon. But he is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They did. McMahon was flashy, though. He was flashy. McMahon was flashy.

[Unknown Speaker]

Really? You don't. Hey, what about you? Flashy? Exactly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, boy. Hey, I sometimes I would gave thick a heart attack, bro. Celebrating, man. I would be doing all kind of crazy stuff.

[Unknown Speaker]

Sometimes you just have to go to the right situation at the right time. Right situation, right time. Quentin Mays, do you own. Do you check on your player cards to see the value? No, I do Not Ocho. You check on the value of players cards?

[Shannon Sharpe]
