You can use the VIP code for an additional ten percent off. Again, the link is penned at the top of the chat. Okay, guys, before we get started, oh show, There's some things that I want to address. Last night, we had a situation. Everything is like in my computer. It's a little different for me here in the studio, my studio compared to you at home.
Everything is linked TV.
I mean the camera, the iPad, the computer, everything is linked. And what it happened was is that as I'm talking the somehow it clicked over to the video. So that's what I was hearing playing back in my ear. So it wasn't anything. It wasn't like a malfunction. Somehow the audio had clicked on on the video that was playing, so I could hear that back in my ear. So that was nothing that people back back at in the studio was doing.
That was no fault of their own.
That was just something that had just all of a sudden happened, and it just took us a minute to figure out. Up with you, after we got off the show and we got it figured out, that won't happen again. I can assure you that other technical difficulties might arise, but that won't happen.
And then.
Guys, look, there's been a lot saying, well up you trying to do the O hoe What SKIP did to you blah blah blah. No, what I am gonna do is that I'm gonna push, I'm gonna pull. I'm gonna drag Oho to a level that he didn't think he could get to see.
I heard.
I saw some of the comments. Oh, on YouTube series. It's just a little internet show. It's a YouTube show for you, that's all you see it as. But that's not the vision that I shared with Ocho when we sat down. That's not the vision that Ocho say, uh, we can do that. Yes, I say, you see what these other guys are getting, but I can't go when I sit down with these studios and they says, okay, Shannon, what can you do? What do you want to do? How do you gonna how are you gonna package this? What are you looking for? Because when you go to a studio, they want a timeslot. They want like, okay, where you what timeslot you want to be in? And okay, we account on you being in that slot. Yes, yes, absolutely, And so I want o Cho to take it serious.
I've conveyed this with Ocho.
O Cho, I'm not telling breaking earth, you know, interrupting your normally scheduled program practice, programming, because I just want o Cho to understand this is o Cho's show, this is my show, and I want him to take it as serious instead ofly like when he goes on first take. Be great on first take, inside the NFL, be great on those But I want o Chow to understand we gonna only go as far as he and I can take this thing and the heights that I dream. And I think what he's conveyed to me is that we're gonna have to do this together. But there have to be a level of professionalism. There has to be a courtesy of being on time. I respect his time and I want him to respect because there's a lot of people. We started out, it was just oh Cho my self, one person in the studio in ash. We got eleven people. Now we got editors, we got graphics, we got extra producers, we got associate producers, and so I know y'all took it to try to run. This is a conversation. Ocho and I have had conversation off cameras. Ocho have conveyed to me what he wants to accomplish with Nightcap, all the while expanding his brand and doing first take. I wholeheartly support that, and you know when they when it came to me, Oho is great inside the NFL, he doing that, He's doing an unbelievable job. But I just know Ojo can and I think, I don't think for me. When I look at Ocho, I see a guy that wants to do it, but it's never been in a situation where it was had to be like, okay, Ojo, you can just do your thing. Ohoe you so great. I'm gonna make oh I'm gonna force Osho to be great. He ain't got no choice. He's gonna have no choice but to be great. And when we rise with Nightcap, when y'all see man, man, they did it. Man, I'm said it. Ocho said that we're gonna do it. That's what I expect from Ocho, and I just like he was already gonna be cutting it close for time because of the flight got delayed, mechanical issues, and so at that situation, you know what I got to show tonight. This is not a SAT this is not Friday. I don't have anything to do. I can take that route that I normally take, call somebody, have them pick me up. But you know what, I'm already cutting it close. Let me get a more a little more suitable situation to get to my workplace. So I know you guys tried to blow it up. Try to make it something. I'm trying to big time Ocho. No, I just want Ocho to be great. And I think there's a level of professionalism and a kind of courtesy that comes along with being great, because there are two kinds of pains that you get. You get the pain and discipline, or you get the pain the regret and if things don't work out. I can live with that, but it was I will not be man if I had only worked harder.
So that's where I'm at, Ocho. I want you to say your piece.
I'm good. I'm good. When we we we we're good. You know you know that I don't. I don't.
I don't pay them people no mind. And you know I'm I'm gonna always be me. I'm always be me. I'm gonna always be successful. I always have been. You know, you have your way of doing things. I have my way of doing things. You know that's it. We're gonna We're gonna be successful no matter what. I always remain my authentic self. You know I've been. I've been a little bit, but I ain't gonna been too much where I have to change who I am.
So that's what you and I are. Nightcap moves on a Guess what it was? Football Sunday the first week. It's in the books now and the game that you just watched, the Rams in overtime, excuse me, the Lions and overtime defeat the twenty six twenty Montgomery punches it in from the one yard line and the Rams walk it off. The Rams ran for sixty of the seventy yards on the TV driving overtime. The lie I keep saying, the Rams the Lions. They ran for sixty of the seventy yard tdyard drive in overtime. Is that the most Dan Campbell thing that you can think of? When he took the job, What did he say? We're going to our physical people. Hey, you might beat us, but you want out workers. You want our physical and you ay that that int your when a team think about it. Oh, Joe, we heard me say this, and y'all guys have heard me say this a lot. When you run the football, you're moving a man against this will A man got his hand in a three points stand yeah, he says, I ain't going nowhere, And the lion said that. A Seule and Decker and all those guys say that, hell you not, you fit to get upon this flot of land, and they moved them up out of Zeitler Man, that was an unbelievable drive to string together and overtime and win.
That game right right down the field.
Listen the game at the beginning, honestly, honestly, it was a snooze fest. It was a snooze fest until after halftime. Did we not see football being played? Drives being strung along from both offenses? It was three three at the half off. I'm not mistaken, right, seven three ten three. It was something like that. I mean, I was fall asleep. I toep so I'm thinking, I'm thinking Stafford Cooper cup pooping the coup the ball. They're gonna be throwing the ball all over the place, no crossing routes.
M hm. I ain't really getting none of that in the first half.
Until the second half everything started to open up and then the game became interesting. Jamos, God damned Jamison Wilson, Jamison Williams Man, Jameson Williamson, Williams Jamison Williams.
I just say Jamo. I'mnn just say Jamo. J Man, He's but he's scared me. Man.
I don't like when I see players go down like that. I hate when I see player go down like that. Got there pooping the core. He goes and he hurt.
Mm hmm. So funny.
I'm not saying it's a coincidence, but all of a sudden, you have a phenomenal rookie season this year. You change the diet, you change your nutrition, you do all this stuff that you didn't do that work last year, trying to change what you're doing. I'm hoping everything is okay with him. Other than that, it was a great game. Dan Campbell and the Lions setting the tone, the culture, everything over there has changed for the better.
And I'm happy. I'm happy.
Hell, I'm happy for Jared Golf too, because they don't they don't, they don't ship them off.
Yeah.
No, Like like he was done and he's still resurrecting and and changing the changing the ways of that that program about program organization, you.
Know what oo. And I'm not going to get too far off track here. I don't believe they thought he was done. But I do believe they didn't think he can get him over the hump. And by choice, you look at it, they won the trade because they won the Super Bowl. So anytime, anytime you make a trade, Ojo, and you win the Super Bowl, how do you lose that trade?
Right?
And so I think that's what they're looking at, and that's what everybody has to evaluate. Can this guy get us to the next level. He took him to a super Bowl and maybe they say, well, hey, he can get us there, but can we get over the hump? And if you look at that drive that Matthew Stafford put together to take the lead against Cincinnati in the Super Bowl, Yeah, that's why they got it. That's why they made the trade because think about how many times did you see him do this tonight?
Ojo? He looking over here and throw the ball clears the Yeah. Yeah, so he has that ability.
But when you look at them, you look at the Lions, you look at they ran the football thirty one attempts, one hundred and sixty three yards, two touchdown. Jerry Goff was eighteen to twenty eight was seventeen one touchdown. They had an interception Jamison Williams five for one one the two running backs, Montgomery seventeen for ninety one, gives eleven for forty. But that's not the way they want to play. They want to play a physical style of football. You know, Detroit, hard working, blue collar grint. That's what Dan Campbell has brought to this team. The Lions have a lot, the fans have a lot to be excited about, because it seemingly last year they went to the NFC Championship game and what a couple of minutes, probably about two minutes away from actually winning that game, O Joe and going to the Super Bowl. And Dan Campbell's like, look, it's not like we get to pick right back up and go to the NFC Championship Game. We've got to go back down to the mountain and climb back to climb aguinion. Yeah, and they welcome back. I love what I love what I saw from the Rams. Uh, it could have got away from him because when the excuse me, the Lions, when the Rams took the lead, what happened on Joe? The Lions come out three and out boom, and I was like, oh man, the Rams can really put this game away. Wait, give the defense credit A g Aaron Glenn the defensive coordinated. They they did a great job and stopped it, stopped up and giving the ball, gave him the ball back, and the Lions went down the field, got a field goal, tied it up, sending in overtime.
And then they get the ball and they go down the.
Fieldrunning them down down their throat.
Which is the most disrespectful.
Which is the most disrespectful thing you can do in the NFL. Is like you say, move a man against his will, continuously down the field. Coaches hate that. Coaches coaches hate that because the ain't nothing fancy.
It ain't no gadget, it ain't no reverse, it ain't none of that, old Joe.
It's hand off.
It's toss against man. That's it, man against man.
We feel our men is better, our men are better than your men, and I'm here to prove it today. It's the most, if the most discouraging, heartbreaking thing that you can do to a team is just line up and.
Just run the ball down the field.
Many that's on us. They tricked us on that. When they ran a flea flicker. They ran a wide receiver pass and off left and all right, off left, toss right and that's all they did. So congratulations to the Lions get off to a great start. Twenty six twenty overtime win over the Rams. Quarterbacks that flip sides. Matthew Stafford used to be the quarterback, was the number one pick of the Lions. Jared Golf was the number one overall pick of the Rams. They swapped and first blood was drawn by the Rams because they want a Super Bowl with Stafford. Now Jared Goff is trying to go and try to replicate that with the Lions. But the Lions win twenty six in overtime over the Lions.
Po Schoe.
The Dolphins beat the Jags. But the big new news actually happened before the game, and this is what happened. Tyreek Hill was detained by police Sunday, a block away from hard Rock Stadium for a driving violation. He was reportedly stopped for speeding and then got into a verbal altercation with the police and was subsequently placed in handcuffs. Dolphin teammate Kalais Campbell John new Smith stopped to offer support for Hill, leading Campbell detainment for disobeying a direct order. Miami Dave Police Department released the statement requested an immediate review of the incident. One of the officers involved in the Hill Entertainment was placed on administrative duty during the investigation. No, not administrative lead, administrative duty, which means he's going to be at the desk, he's not going to be in the field. Let's take a listen to what Javon Holland and Tyreek had to say after the game about the incident.
I've seen the clip cop like kicked him or something like that.
That was crazy.
So that's gotta you get handled. You know what I'm saying. Excessive force on a black man. That's not uncommon. It's a very common thing in America. So I think that needs to be addressed at a country wide level. So yeah, I don't think that shit is cool at all, but uh, you know, it's not. It's not unnatural or not uncommon for cops to do that type of shit, especially the black men. So that should need that needs to be addressing.
Sure, I've been trying to figure that out too. I've been trying to figure that out too, man. Right now, I'm still trying to put it all together. So I'm not gonna give you my version that I still don't.
Know what happened, you know what I'm saying.
But I do want to say I do want to be able to use this platform to say.
Like what if I wasnt Tyreek Hill bro?
So I got a lot of respect for cops man, but obviously, you know, everybody has bad apples in every situation, you know. So I I want to be able to, you know, use his platform, you know, to figure out to figure out a way to like flip this and you know, make it a positive from both ends, from Miami and then also Miami Day, you know, so that way we continue together and you know, do some positive for the community.
Mm hmm, ocho, what was? What was? We're gonna We're gonna discuss the game.
Yeah, so but oho, this situation, you of I driven the home games.
I did it for fourteen years.
You did it for eleven twelve years, So you noticed, like layout, give a forgive the fans an idea? You going to the stadium? Yeah, you got to be at the stadium. I mean normally they ask you to be at the stadium two hours before the game. Right, So okay, now, o Jo, you leave the hotel the night before the game. I don't know if you stayed there the full time, or you go back home and change, but you're on your way to the stadium. Take the fans through probably what transpired with Tyreek.
I mean, well, obviously he was headed to the stadium.
I mean the rest of if I'm looking at the background, that's that's right outside of the stadium, outside of outside, because you know, because you can see the stadium, you know, in the background in the sea. Yes, obviously he was right there. I'm not sure what that what actually what actually happened. I'm not sure what time it was. I'm not sure if it was running late. So obviously, if you're stopping for a driving violation, the only type of driving violation you have two hours before a game would have to be speeding of some sort, maybe not using your signal. I'm assuming something minor. Well, speeding is not minor, obviously, so I'm I'm assuming he was pulled over, because all all I have to go off of is based on what we all saw. I mean that that's it. I think I think it's unfortunate. I think it's an easy fix. I think it was a very easy fix to where it even didn't even have to get to this point to where it got to today, I'm not I'm not sure if cooler heads had prevailed in that in that time or in that manner, or him being detained wouldn't have happened in that in that situation. I think you and I have talked about it before, when you're stopped by the police and doing all you can to be able to to to resolve the issue without it going any further. You know, I'm not sure if Tyreek said anything. Maybe the officer was having a bad day's having a bad day, But there has to be some level of respect on both ends where this doesn't happen. The fact that I don't have the evidence on what really happened and what transpired for it to get to that point, it's hard for me to dig deeper and say some of the things I want to say outside of the fact it shouldn't get to that point, though, there should be a level of respect on both ends, obviously, especially Miami Police Department. If you work in the game, if you work in a game, you're on detail at the game and you know it's a player, obviously, maybe extended him a little grace if he is running late, letting him know. A Reek, if anything. Just slowed down a little bit, baby, because you got people, you got foot traffic. Obviously there's a game going on. People trying to get to the game. Slow down a little bit. If you're gonna be late, if anything, just take the fine or whatnot. Whatever whatever it might have been. I don't know what it was. But again, I mean as officers knowing that there's a game getting ready to be played and knowing that it's it's a player, not saying he should be getting getting grace. Obviously the rules and losses you have to abide by, but it just it just there's a certain level of respect that the officers normally have for a player or in the situation and understanding what's going on. But and in this case, you know, it wasn't. It wasn't.
Yeah.
I think the thing is, ladies and gentlemen, like we go to the game, we have to be We were required to be to the game at least two hours before the game. Yeah, So our game was started at two o'clock because we're in mountain times, so we start had to be there at least by twelve. I normally got to the I normally got to the stadium about four and a half hours before the game. So I normally got to the game of the stadium about four and a half hours before the game, so the traffic wasn't as heavy. But a lot of times they block it off because they don't want traffic. They want to be able to control the traffic coming in one way. They don't want the normal flow of traffic being able to come in all directions, right, so they a lot of times they'll have it blocked off. I was always conscious of that, and so you know, anytime I pulled up to an area and I saw police officer, I would all I would like roll my winner down to let them know, this is Shannon, because my win I always had, you know, I always had ten. But I wanted them to know that, hey I'm shinning, you know, hey I'm going to the stadium. And a lot of it most of them recognized why. I was, Ay, hey, miss Sharp, how you doing, have a great game? So forth and so on. Now, obviously, the later the later you get to that that cutoff time that teams have established, the more foot traffic is going to be coming. And so obviously they don't want you spreading through their fifty you know, not even thirty five miles an hour. They probably want you around five to ten miles an hour because there's some traffic. Like I said, I haven't been to in Miami Stadium, Ohoan since ninety eight, so I couldn't know a nice Actually we played them in the divisional round, but that's been so long. That's been so long ago oho, So that's been over twenty two decades, so I really.
Couldn't tell you.
And you know, normally when we come in on the bus, we got police sALS scort. So it's a lot different when you got police sales corre as opposed to being you know, you're driving yourself and so oh, you're absolutely right. I think the thing is for that miner of a traffic for Okay, he's speeding and you got to lay him face down.
Yeah, hold on, hold on, writeing a ticket, right, writeing a ticket. There's no reason to detain him. There's no reason for him to be faced down. But what you do have to think of if if if it's sought to that, if they've resulted to the to the point of having to have him face down like that, I think there might have been some exchange back and forth.
Thinking for it. That's the only time it gets to that point.
When individual is being somewhat volatile towards the law, then they take things in their own hands because as you get a little loud, what's the first thing they do. They try They try to detain you, They try to he escalated in.
That situation, Oh Joe, In that situation, he's god.
He got all the power. Yeah he got a gun. Yeah, you got a taser. Yes, he got a baton.
Yes, sir, he got a bulletproof vests on he's got In that situation, he's God. My thing is anytime the police officer comes to my car, I get pulled over, my job is to get him to the car, back to his car. Me on my way, he on his way, with as little conversation as possible. Yes, sir, okay, you pulled me over, mister sharp, you know how fast you were going? I really don't was you. I welcome you telling me where you was traveling such and such in this my span, I said, I'm sorry, officer, I didn't know I was traveling that fast. But I'm gonna take your word for it because I'm trying to get him. Oh Joe, I'm trying to get him to my car back to his car as quick as possible. Yeah, the longer he stays at my car, the greater the chance that there's.
Something that we can it can escalate.
Now a lot of times they're supposed to be in a situation where they de escalate the situation, but that's not always hot. And plus, oh you think cause you this you that you driving this car? Oh you think you can No, I don't think that. So that was that's my whole thought process. How soon can I get him to my car, back to his car or on his motorcycle and get him on his way in a situation like that, Oh Joe for the for Todd Reek to be laid down. And it looked like I saw a video. It looked like the guy need him in his back. But I thought that was yeah, Yeah, he didn't kick him, but I thought he needed. I thought he needed. I could be wrong, and maybe the video, maybe somebody the video that I saw, maybe that wasn't how it happened. But it looked apparently to me that the guy did me him a little excessive and that I'm not saying that he dropped the.
Rick Flair lb on him or something like that, you know, wouldn't w w E.
But but it looked like it was unnecessary. It seemed to me that it was unnecessary that you lay a man down in the stream for a traffic violation. I can see if the guy he was traffic violation and he was warned from some heinous crime. But I don't think that was the case. But I think what's gonna happen because this was so public and it is the Miami Dolphins and Stephen Ross in the NFL. Now is everybody getting involved? Oh you're gonna come to a resolution here? Oh yeah, most definitely not. Gonn assure you that won't probably won't happen again. Now I'm not gonna say from categoricy for certain, but there's a great chance that this won't happen again.
Yeah, that guy might have been a little over zealous.
I'm not saying that Tyreek wasn't speeding, but I'm just saying I don't know if speeding warrants that laying a man down face down in the pavement, you put your knee in his back, your handcuffing meant I mean, if you're gonna do, if you're gonna if you're gonna do all that, you're gonna take it down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely. I mean, and then that that would make it, That would make it even worse. That would make it even worse. And obviously I wish, I wish the situation could have been rectified right away. There's a certain level of respect that obviously, me being from Miami that hadn't gotten that for it, not even close, not even close, not to not two hours before a game, when the officers understand that, okay, whatever the driving violation may have been, Listen, quick little talk. Listen, you gotta slow down. But you know what, okay, if you are speaking of bit listen, I know you got a game.
Baby.
You can't be you can't driving that fast through here. I got the gear ticket, I got the year ticket. Man, I got I got to do right by the law. But I'm gonna let you go. Let you go on by your way. That's it simple, it's over drivers, drivers, license registration. I gotta write this ticket. Just slow down for me. Next time we got seven more home games here. Next time you come through here, just be driving the right way. But hopefully we got more than that. It's most definitely, most definitely, most definitely. But it's I think it's a stain though. It's a stain on the Miami on the on the on the Miami people, Miami Police Department, because because because everywhere.
It's definitely not a good look. It's definitely not a good look.
Over abusing your power, just a little bit, just a little bit understanding the situation, understanding the circumstances. You know, Tarreek is no threat in this situation. He's not gonna do you anybody harm. I mean, you know that. So I think it I think obviously it was very excessive and unnecessary.
So yeah, like like but like you know, I think the thing is, I mean, like Tyreek said, what if he wasn't who he was? And the thing is now I think you know, the cameras in a lot of times and people like, well, body cameras on you know he had, they're wearing body cams and people like with Shannon, you're talking about you don't get on the elevator with women.
Do you understand it was cameras?
Do you know how many times we've seen stuff on cameras and most folks walk up out the courtrooms, got as.
Free and you want me to change that? Just my look. Guess what the camera ain't working that day?
How many times there's a situation, Oh the officer to forgot to turn his body cam on.
O't Joe think slick the cam? Ain't he supposed to come off.
The moment you pulled somebody outf you're supposed to hit that button.
Yeah, but that's neither here north there. Tyreek's okay, probably a little a lot embarrassed, Not a little a lot embarrassed, Yeah, because this played out in front of National in front of you know, you play in front a million, But I don't expect to be handcuffed, face down, Yeah, with a knee in my back.
Not in my own city, Not in the city I played for.
Come on that. No, And then Tyreek he did what Tyreek Hill does.
He catches an eighty yarder, takes it to the house today seven catch, seven catches for a buck thirty one touchdown to eighty yarder. And then he did a By ten am, they had his hand behind his back and at three am he had a celebration going with his hand behind his back. He'l and Jalen Waddle count for two hundred eleven of the Miami Dolphins four hundred total yards of offense two or three for three thirty.
Eight one touchdowns.
Jacksonville was the ninth best defense against the run last season, and they showed it. Miambi only had twenty five carries for eighty one yards, but a Chain had seventy five rushing. Wattle had five for one O nine, Tyreek had seven for a buck thirty. But this game seemed to be oh jo. This game was about to be put the way, but the Jags jagged, and dude comes and peanup punches. They get the ball and two plays later, ty reeks. So what was about to be a twenty four seven ball game?
O yoe? Now all of a sudden, you.
Get the ball at the twenty and two plays later ty reeks in the m zone.
Yeah.
And so now what was supposed to be twenty four twenty four to seven is seventeen to fourteen.
Yeah.
Now, now you're getting out of crowds, back in the game of defense, starting to feel good about themselves. But give Miami credit, Jacksonville had an opportunity to really put some distance between them. They were unable to do it, and it just go It just and the blinking out of the momentum flip just like that, Oh Joe, fourteen points win.
That's what you know.
That's why it's spoke quarters because quarter one, quarter two was all Jacksonville act. That defense, well of them boys were playing some goddamn ball on defense. Man them boy was playing some ball on defense. And I told I told everybody, especially in the chat. I told y'all about Brian Thomas Jr. I told y'all, young boy is nice. I know Malik Nighbors gets all the hype obviously because he's in New York.
Brian Thomas Jr. Real deal, you're.
Jack gonna jack. The jag gonna be all right, though, they're gonna be all right.
I mean, I like, I like what I thought from the Jags. You just got. When you get a team in that situation, you got to put them away.
To put him away, you gotta create some.
Yeah, you gotta create some type of distance, especially when they have those type of players that at any point, no matter where you are on the field, when it comes to wadle a chain and that god damn cheetah that can hit their head off the goal host from anywhere.
When you get an opportunity to separate yourself.
And that's the difference between the type of quarterbacks that are considered Tier one.
That have those type of weapons. Yeah, put your wing. They don't even give you no chance.
Because you know, at any given time they can strike from anywhere. They're only one, they're they're one play away. A lot of teams don't have that kind of potential. They have three guys. No, they got four guys. They got cheatah, they got water, they they got most of them. They got a guy. They got four guys that on any on any given play and you you strike the band up. Now you got to smell the old ret referee raising his arms. So they got four guys that There are very few teams that have that kind of big play potential. And I always in check. You've heard me say this. When you have the momentum, how much separation can you put between you and the team that doesn't have the momentum back because eventually they're gonna get it. And if you not, if you haven't put enough separation between you, guess what, they're gonna track you down. Every time we saw that with San Francisco, we saw that, we saw that with San Francisco in the Super Bowl. We saw that with the Eagles in the Super Bowl the previous year. When you have the momentum, you better get you a lot of separation because when they get it where you might have had the baby where you scored two touchdown and kicked the field goal, they might go three touchdowns and all of a sudden boom ball game. So the Dolphins win. But that really wasn't the story. The Tyreek Hill being detained briefly, face down, handcuffed for what they said was a speeding violation or moving violation, riving. I'm sure speeding, it has to be said, they said. They listed as speeding.
O joe, yeah, simpleton, they listed simple ticket, rectify the situation, driver's license, insurance, boom, write the ticket. You're going buy your business. There's no problem, oh y'all. The Cowboys handled the Browns. But again, the.
Story happened before the game, in the wee hours of the morning. That got paid ay And it wasn't even Friday night. Johnny Keimp said, dad got paid.
I guess it was Saturday night early Sunday morning.
Four years, two hundred and forty million, two hundred and thirty one million guaranteed sixty million per year.
He's the first sixty.
Million dollar player in NFL history, the highest paid player in NFL history, the highest payed q QB based on an annual your basis, Dak sixty million, Joe Burrow fifty five, Jordan Love fifty five, Trevor Lawrence fifty five. TWOA is at fifty three point one, Jerry Goffer is at fifty three, Justin Herbert is at fifty two point five, Lamar Jackson's at fifty two, Jalen Hurts at fifty one. But Dak Prescott became the first sixty million dollar man. I don't know if you remember the old TV show The six million Dollar Man. But now the NFL has a sixty million million dollar man and he goes by the name of Dakota Rayne Prescott aka Dak for short O Joe. That was the story before the game. But boy, on the field, the Cowboys handle Biff.
But they look good.
They look good. Hey, listen, they look very good. I'm not sure what's wrong with the Browns offense. And I'm not sure it was that Mike Zimmer in the defense and the fact that they knew all the route concepts, all the route combinations with Jerry Judy and the Marii Cooper who are phenomenal route runners, especially receivers that are great at creating separation. There was really no separation today. There was no separation today. I'm not sure what it was. I'm not sure what was going on, but I think I'm no offensive coordinator. But if i see my quarterback struggling, and I'm speaking from as a fan of the football, as a fan of football, I'm watching Deshaun Watson struggle from the quarterback position.
So what do I want to do?
Everything is always spread out, Everything is always spread out. Jerry Judy's out wide, Elijah Moore is in the slot, Mark Cooper's out wide. Condensed the goddamn formations. Condensed, the goddamn formations. Put people in motion, allowed to what do you call it when when you when you you put budget formations? Yeah, yeah, you condensed the formations. Allow your quarterback to get in rhythm with quick throws.
Oh you want them to max protect so too, it's not doing that stap protection.
So and get your quarterback in rhythm. They just continue to do the same thing over and over and over and over. And over, and Deshaun Watson was never able to find any any kind of rhythm, not getting sing with his receivers. They weren't able to string long, consistent drives together. Running the ball, they were okay, I'm not sure how many yards Ford had run the ball for.
It was twelve for forty four.
They had nineteen rushes ninety three yards. That's that's that's not that's not enough, not enough, But they got the passing game. I don't like the fact that Joe Flacco was able to come in last year and the offense looked completely different.
It looked completely different.
I don't know if they were calling different plavor Joe Flacco or what the hell was going on.
But the shot Watson should not look the way he looked today.
It shouldn't.
It just shouldn't look like that. DeShawn had had played a lot of football in three years. Let's start with that. But Ocho that office, you're not gonna win a game. You're not gonna win Let me say you're not gonna win a game. You're not gonna win many games. When you start forcing fifteen your second and fifteen, Yeah, you're third and fifteen. How many times did it get illegal formation on the right tackle? How many times did he get a hold it on the right tackle? The due It should be a crime to be that big and that's sorry, hold on? Is that that's the backup? That's a backup, right tax, that's the backup, the backup. But you got to do a better job than that, O Joe. Yeah, because guess what, he goes back his ass up to that pay window on Monday or Tuesday to collect that check. Yeah exactly, you know exactly what I was talking about. Oh Joe, you can't have that. And I'm not saying DeShawn didn't look good. La Sean hasn't looked good, and I don't know, oh joy. And if we go along, and like I said, I'd like to see him get if big guy's back and to.
See what he is.
But as time goes along, I'm starting to I'm starting to become less and less sure that we'll ever see the Deshaun Watson we once saw.
And that coordinator, you got the une, you got to understand, you got you got to know. You got to know your team strengths and weaknesses. If you know your right if you know your right tackle, if you know there's a weakness there. Put somebody over there, and Chip Micah, crazy ass coming off the edge, all crazy doing what he's doing. Shortened down the offensive plays, short intermediate routes. Everything is dropped back five yards, play action, seven step drops. Why are you doing that when you know you have a weakness on the offensive line. Slant routes, quick out routes. Get your team in rhythm, get your quarterbacks some confidence, allow him the complete past, allow him to complete a string of passes, to get him in rhythm, to get a little confidence. It looked like his confidence shot. Look at his mannerism getting up after getting sacked. Look at his mannerism getting up after getting hit deep balls. He meant, Amari, you got to help your quarterback out too, on the deep ball, the drop, even though you weren't winning the game, just to get just just to get the team around going a little bit, just to give your quarterbacks some confidence.
You can't drop that deep ball, big bro.
You can't. You're right, I think that l ya.
If you look at the game early, you see the jump the Carson twenty one got on those balls.
You know that ball got to come back quick.
Yeah, like that Zim had already told them they can't block us.
We jumping.
Everything might sit right on it, sit right on it.
He jumping.
Think I'm like bro, I said, y'all got the double move him to get hump up up there. But they know you can't double move because y'all got too rookie. Y'all got two backups playing tackle. Y'all been out when you double boot when he when when DeShawn does this, Mike hit him in his back, he gonna do that every time, or d law Go.
Hit him in his moud.
So the Cowboys give the Cowboys defensively, they look good. They were own it today. And the Cowboys offense really didn't have to do a whole lot. If you look at Jack Dark numbers, that was nineteen or thirty two, one seventy nine. They had twenty five rush attempts for one hundred and two yards, so they average four yards a carry. But Dak wasn't It wasn't like Dak through for two fifty three hundred yards.
He didn't need to. Just don't put the ball in the arms weight right.
Shan Watson twenty four or forty five, one sixty nine, one touchdown two its. He was sacked six times, he had a QBR less than ten.
Do we do we give? Do we give this Week one?
I understand nobody plays in the preseason that are starters, do wellibe, they should listen. I told you we don't talk. We don't have that conversation. My black ass wants to be in the preseason. So when I get the Week one, it's not unfamiliar territory because you can practice all day long. When you get into a game time situation, it's completely different.
Yeah, it's practice is not game.
Practice is not practice is not game, and you can't convince your body that it is.
Yeah, I'm just different.
I mean, you go out there and practice. Hey, I'm trying to get everybody that work, Oh Joe. I don't want to give anybody no confidence that they cover me today. I want nobody talking ish you in the locker room. I lockshop up today or they jumping up take it out. Yeah, hey, I think half of guys gonna get get paid. I mean I done ran. Think about how many times I don't ran a seven round or come back or dig over a basic cross or wall route. So they know what's coming. But you know, I'm trying to get craftier. But no, so this is what we this is what this is what we're doing. They don't play in the preseason and then they get out, they get out there, we jump out the gate. Or if no, if you want to get out the game faster place uth of the preseason.
Do we do?
We do we extend any type of grace to DeShawn because of the tackles being missing on the left and the right side. And it doesn't make it any better that you're playing against God damn Michael Parson and brother Gregory.
That doesn't make it any easier. You're playing against zim defense.
But o'er you said it last year when he had the guys he did Joe Flacco, he didn't look like Joe Flacco did and he had the.
Starting tackles in there. Yeah that's what you just saying.
Yeah, yeah, I don't understand it because he was playing he hurt his shoulder. I mean, the offense wasn't looking like it should look. But then all of a sudden Flacco comes in and all of a sudden, I'm like, man, what the what the hell is going on? Almost to the point where it got me thinking, man, y'all sabotaging the dog with the play calling. I'm just saying that's what it looked like. I'm not saying that's that's what they were doing. But how did Joe Flacco come in boom? And what Flako went up? A four or five week run?
Yeah, just an aerial assault.
They need to do a better job of running the football or Joe, look, you see you can't block him, but you got to slow them down. You got to give them something else to think about. Dropping back and doing like you said it scat protection. When you got five men out and you know your two cat tackles can't hold up, you're inviting trouble.
You got to run the football.
Maybe you button that thing down and says okay, we're gonna try to run the football, and then hey and maybe we just go two man routes off of that off a run action. But this what this game plan today. Now I get it. You know you don't have Chubb. Chubb is the focal point of that offense. Everything is built around Chubb being able to run the football, and now we play action off it.
Well, it's hard to play action when you uh.
Ball.
You ain't doing a whole lot. Where you going? Who you fool me? Why am I coming down? Y'all aren't going to get y'all not fin to get back to here, me get back to me anyway. So I'm stay right here. They're gonna clean all that up, the front set, gonna take care of all that. The Browns didn't look look, o Jo, I agree, it's weak one, But the Browns really haven't look good with DeShawn Watson in there. The best they look is when they came back and beat last year they beat the uh the Ravens.
That was the best DeShawn that.
That was the best he's looked. But as as the games go by, Ojo, we can't.
We can't keep using where you know, he only played thirteen games in this many years at some point. Guess what because in those three years he was still collecting a check.
Yeah, so.
Let's see what happened when the tackles come back. But they're gonna have to pick this thing up. Guess what?
What? What can Pittsburgh do you think Donalds got after you? Did? You see what Pittsburgh did that Lady Truck.
Cousins, Boy, that god damn TJ.
Watch well he a hell Razor.
Hey, and you got the Ravens in that division, you know they're gonna tack you. Now, the division ain't no love lost because the old the old Ravens used to be the old Brown. Yeah, used to be the Brown. But uh, they had the Cleveland gotta figure this thing out. And Joe now and Joko gets and Joko gets hurt.
What happened? It looks like it looked like he tweaked his ankle. Oh is his ankle?
Okay?
Okay, yeah, he got he got drugged out. You know that drop tackle. He didn't drop, but he drugged you know, and his ankle got pinned up under.
So uh.
But the Cowboys Dak Presscott the highest paid player in the NFL history, the first quarterback to make sixty million dollar annually.
He threw four hundred and fifty six yards in the.
First half, only had twenty three yards in the second half with a touchdown, but the defense was dominant.
Eric Kendrick, who came on that show, had a.
Pick and a sa fack yeah the sacon yeah yeah yeah.
And then Cavante Turpin Turpentine. He had a point return for a touchdown in the third quarter. That really broke the ball game open and after that, but even before that touchdown, you never got the indication that Cleveland was a serious threat to the Cowboys today anyway. Sean Watson twenty four forty five, fifty three percent completion, one hundred and sixty nine yards, passing, two interceptions, two hundred and thirty million dollars.
Guaranteed, and they're gonna have to pick it up, oh joe.
The Steelers beat the Falcons behind six field goal by Chris Bonio eighteen. Russell Wilson aggravated a calf injury earlier in the week, gave Justin Fields an opportunity. Justin Fields from the Atlanta area. He completed seventeen or twenty three one hundred and fifty six yards. He rushed fourteen times for fifty seven yards. But the most important thing for Justin Fields he didn't turn out the ball. You know, Chris Boswell is the koker, not bon You Chris Boswell. And as the game went on, it looked like Justin Fields got more and more comfortable. Yeah, he looked. I say this again. The great thing that Tom Brady could do. He understood what type of game it was gonna be justin field. Look, ain't gonna be a whole lot of points score. First of all, Arthur Smith is not going to turn me loose. It's not gonna have me throwing the spread the ball all over the field. So let me, hey, get the ball to George Pickens, let me hand this ball off the Nigie Harris and let them do what they do. And all I don't as long as I don't put the ball in harm's way, I like our chances. And that's exactly what they did. Yeah, the Steelers offense was they did, couldn't finish drives, but they had a very reliable kicker. He kicked a fifty one yard a fifty six yarder, a fifty seven yarder to become the first Pittsburgh steel kicker to kick three field goales of fifty plus yards in a game in franchise history. The question I got for you, O Joe, Yeah, if Russell Wilson is healthy next week, does he start or do you stick with justin fields?
Absolutely not. You know, you know, Russell Wilson is going back to his starting job.
You know.
Russell Wilson was awarded the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers Therefore, when he's back healthy, he's back in the slot. I think the offense in itself in general, especially with the playbook and the play calling with Arthur Smith, it opens up the playbuck exponentially as opposed to it as opposed that if Justin Fields was at the Helm.
Okay, two different type of quarterbacks.
Yeah, so I think the best fit for the Steelers would be Russell Wilson for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, the cousin for the Falcons gave First Cousins one hundred million dollars guaranteed coming off of torn of Ki Leaves to lead the offense featuring top ten draft pick B John Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts, and Atlanta brought back its entire offensive line but Cousins through two interceptions, the Falcons only managed forty five yards in the second half and fumble the bas snap to squash your first half drive? Which will this offense need more time to click? What's going on on? Joe Yay?
They got damn Week one. Boy, I'm telling it's hurting everybody. Huh. I'll tell you no, lie. B John Robinson a real deal. Kyle Pitt's real deal, Drake London, the real deal man. I'm telling these boys ain't got no no type of no type of what's the word, what's the word. I don't want to use the word chemistry. I'm just they need that live action now.
Joe, Yeah, no, Yonk, think as you.
Yeah, you notice how we make excuses for week one when we nobody ever made excuses for us.
Oh but shit, we played in the preseason. Huh.
So when we got the Week one we were we were ropland we was good. We was acclimated, we acclimated the game speed. We weren't going from zero to one hundred and then being goddamn surprised at the goddamn game speed because we're not.
Used to the tempo. I'm listening.
I'm not making this.
I'm not making excuses for him. But it is week one. Things are going to look sloppy, things aren't going to look like they should.
Look.
For defenses, it's a little bit easier defense. All you gotta do. The call comes in.
You read and you react. You read and you react. That's it.
So I think it's a little bit simpler on their side of the ball. I think offenses, despite some teams that might win. Some teams that can look better.
Than the others.
Yeah, the others for us being a part of team.
And when I played in Devora, the one thing that I loved about Mike he never let us use week one as an excuse. If we played good, He's like, hey, guys, hey, we played well. We won the game, but there's some things that we can do better. But when we lost, it wasn't no. Hey, guys, you know it's just week one. He's like, no, this is unacceptable. Yeah, And I like that. I like being hell. I'm I'm I'm big on accountability. I'm big on accountability because I don't want to plan excuses in guys here, because you know how the mind is wired.
Oh that's an excuse, you know, a blah blah blah. This happened.
The plane didn't take off on time, somebody pulled the fire alarm, bo joe, we had to get up at two o'clock in the morning.
Right now, we don't do excuses here. We win or we lose.
And but they need to change this if that's what's causing everything to look like it's looked.
If we won, well, how can they not play a game? Can they not.
Get any action in the preseason. I'm talking about not none. They can't get like twenty plays in two preseason games. They can't get twenty plays. They can't get no play.
Them boys ain't doing nothing. Some some some people didn't do nothing. Nathaniel zero Zilch obviously trying to trying to protect protect the players from injury.
I mean that why the guys get hurt because they don't do nothing. They don't get hit.
Yeah, man, they'll learn.
I mean there's a real joe yep. You can't go out there. You done took two months off and all of a sudden, you're gonna say, you know what, I'm finna run full s free. I'm finn to try to run the times that I was running when I was at my peak. Or you asking for trouble?
What else? What they asked these guys to do? Yea, they've been running. They don't. You You don't.
You haven't done anything at game speed, even when they give you a two minutes and they got the clock got there and it's like, okay, we got two minutes.
We down by three. Oh, we got two minutes to go in the clock.
We down by self, right, and they give you and you got officials and they market it off and all that.
That ain't the same.
No, it ain't not even close.
So, oh Joe, the question I got for you, will this offense need more time the Falcons offense? Will it need more time than original thought? Or Kirk Cousins? What do you think about Cousin? And how soon will we see Michael Penick Jr.
I don't think it's not time. It's not time to panic, especially for Kirk. I'm not even gonna mention week one. I think Kirk is gonna be fine again in the regular season. He is a yardage monster, a yardage monster, so little numbers are going to look like they should because of the quarterback they have at the helm and that they're going to strin some wins alone. They're gonna strink some wins alone because they have a very special back in Bjon Robinson. They are very special back in Jon Robinson, who's going to take some of the pressure off of Kirk so he doesn't have to be throwing at forty fifty times a game. And I think he's gonna be okay. So I don't think we're gonna see Pennick Jr. Anytime soon?
Are they gonna be on a situation where they can use it?
I mean, would you would you want to give him some packages early? Would you want to do that?
Would you?
What do you want?
No?
No, no, no, no, I'm saying Bjon, I'm saying Robinson.
Yes, sir, would you say what was the question about it?
Are they going to be in a position Are they gonna be in a situation where they don't have a choice because O Joe, them fans gonna start bulling?
Bro?
You know, you know, the most popular guy unless he's unless you got my home, the most popular guy.
Is the backup quarterback?
Yeah, yeah, you know the.
First ad O Joe, the first when they when the office is still get the first.
What's the first thing that look to replace quarterback? Yeah?
Yeah, I don't think.
I don't think about we need a spark now, y'all need like ten new players.
I don't think we're not gonna get there. We're not gonna get there. No, okay, but I mean cousin that look. Look he never he's he was never the most mobile, mobile, never been completely complete drop back quarterback.
He definitely he definitely all pocket. But give the Steelers. Credit they go on the road. Hell, they look like a Steelers hall game. Did you see man.
T. J. Watt was pumping the crowd up?
Yeah, but you know the steel.
On the road when you see if somebody on the road and then tell me I get it up.
Hold on.
There are two teams that travel well.
I don't care where you go, but they could be you could be playing the goddamn Israel. What the eighty percent of the fan base gonna be there? The Steelers and the Eagles, they they travel well.
Uh yeah, Packers travel, but I've never seen an thing like Pittsburgh though, because you got to understand the o jo.
Think about it.
In the seventies, the Steelers were it right, So a lot of times that was the only team that you got an opportunity to see. Right now, you like the Cowboys and the Packers go back. But when you start getting kids that grew up watching the Steelers and they could have become displaced. So guess what Steelers come to town. I'm going to see them. Okay, that's the team I grew up rooting for. That's the team I grew up watching. So while you know they haven't won anything, recently. Everybody remember the Steelers of the seventies, Mean Joe, who don't know mean Joe and smacking to Jack Lambert, I mean all those guys mail blood my homeboy, Mail, Donnie Shelley, Branshaws, Swan Star Wars, Rested Sould Franco, Rocky Blyer, And so they travel, O Joe. And the thing is is that what you worry about is that they're fans buying your.
Home ticket tickets. Yep.
And they being close and hit seemed like a damn road game because there's so many Steelers fans there and they're so close.
Normally, you know, we put the ass wegg up and we can't even hear y'all.
Y'all got y'all little y'all, got y'all little section, but y'all in the section four hundred, they dined there in the bone by everything. So, oh, Joe, what happened? I know, what did happen? What you told me? The Bengals? I told you New England will go open the can on y'all. Now, I told you that. Now listen, this is what you should have known. Now when I picked the Bengals to win. That was an emotional pick. That was a pick because I played there. That was a pick because they drafted me.
That was a pick of me picking them to beat the Patriots because they allowed me to fulfill my childhood dream.
Now you know, good and.
Well, the goddamn Bangles started on on one for the past three years straight, and I can think I didn't think anything would change this year as well. I would just picking them simply because I love my Beangals. I didn't think that was I didn't think they was really gonna win, because listen, we have we have a history of doing the same thing, starting out slow out the gate on one oh and two. But matter of fact, matter of fact, can I say something real quick? Go ahead, we played the Chiefs next week.
Right I'm telling you. I'm telling you right now. That's everybody in the chat.
If you if you're a betman, if any of you are or are gamblers, I'm telling you right now, money line Bengals beating the Chiefs next week, week two in arrow head.
I put that on any I put that, I put that on anything.
I guarantee you I want to hunt Higgins is playing.
What whatever pay do that.
Don't do that, you don't lose your money, because now you're gonna lose your money in front of everybody.
In the chat. I would lose it.
You're gonna lose your money.
Okay, take it now, any any any side, best in the chat, put your money, Put your money.
We are out of is I guarante you. But listen, we we didn't.
We didn't.
We didn't. We didn't look good today.
Y'all showed it.
We didn't look good today. We didn't look good on offense. We didn't look good on defense. We didn't look good on teams. You did not all three phases.
Of the game.
We didn't look good, look bad. But you know what we get to do. We get the regroup. We have a thing called the twenty four hour rule. In Cincinnati. We watched film, we correct the mistakes, and once twenty four hours passes, we're on to today game. And the next game for us is the Kansas City Chiefs. Congratulations to Jakobe Prissett. Congratulations to Growd Mao. It started his season off as the head coach of the Newingham Patriots.
No stopped trying. They shine. Look at Girard Meo.
Gerardmeo gets his first win as head coach The Bengals started out to steal a ye for the second straight season opening the biggest Whales scoreless in the first half. In fact, they trailed by ten or more for the third straight season opener, and hav Ait's scored a touchdown in the first half of Week one since twenty twenty one. The chemistry, especially in the offense wasn't there, and the absence of t Higgins amstring noticeable coming off rich surgery that end of the season a year ago. Burrow seemed heather than to push the ball down the field, sixteen of his first twenty pass attempts more than five yards of the line of scrimmage. Cincinnati was unable to start the rushing attack of the Patriots early in the game, which allowed the Patriots to build a lead and protected Andre Stevenson the twenty five carries a buck twenty had a touchdown. They ran the ball thirty nine times for one hundred and seventy yards. Jakobe Burssett was fifteen to twenty four four one hundred and twenty one yards.
Did a great job the volume
