So listen to good luck with that on Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, there you. D. Rob.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Now it's time to welcome. I think you mute it right now, Rob. Muted, Rob. Yeah, I'm muted me. Okay, now we're good. He won Super Bowl with Kansas City in 2019. Sunday, had a big game, had probably a career playoff high.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I think this was a career playoff high. six catches, a buck 11 and a touchdown. He got the party started early with the dagger route over the middle, took that in, and then it delayed, it caught the post route for a touchdown, had an outstanding game. DeMarcus Robinson, wide receiver
Starting point is 00:02:46 San Francisco 49ers. Rob, there's a lot put on your guys' plate. You lose Debo. I-Euk is not there all year long. Kittle goes down. Now yourself, Jenny. Pyrsaw is out. Now it's time for you guys because a lot has been made.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Purdy is good, but he's propped up by all these all pros and pro bowlers. So now is you, is Jennings and the backup tight end. And you guys got to go out there and make plays. What was your mindset? Because you know you're not going to Dibos, bingo. You knew IUC's not coming back, but you thought you would at least have kiddle. What were you guys' mindset going in into a hostile environment and to come away with a victory? I think the guys, man, we knew it was at state, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:03:30 them boys had to go out and play hard just to get that dove just so we can get another another game on the road. And it's never easy to get a win on the road. But those guys came in, man, we fought all together. As soon as Kittle were down, we knew Jake had to come in and make a couple plays. And then boys show resiliency yesterday for real. What did that feel like having a game like that, you know, letting the 49ers, letting your quarterback know that you can count on me, especially in situations like that,
Starting point is 00:03:57 in important games that actually matter for you to have that type of. of game, what did that feel like? I mean, listen, I'm honestly, as a receiver, I ain't never had no success in the goddamn playoff here. I ain't, I haven't been there? Oh. Maybe I just, what is that feeling like, man? It felt good, man. The northern boys had trust in me, Purdy and Kyle Shanahan had, man. It felt good to feel like they had trust in me. You know, they wouldn't be causing those play to put me in those position to get me the ball to know I'm going to do what I could do and go down there and score a touchdown. So it really felt good, just for them boys to get some trust in me for real.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah. Oh, I played for his dad. Oh, you make that play early? Oh, you're done. Oh, you're getting the ball to rest. Yeah, you're good. Once you made that play on that dagger? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Do y'all call it dagger? Will y'all call it over? No, we call it dagger. I know what you're talking about you. We call it dagger too. Okay. I know what you, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And so once you made that play, I said, oh, yeah. Oh, they're going to feed him. Yep, it's coming back. And, you know, the funny thing about, when you have a performance like you did in that game, what you think that thing will look like in the next one. That's what I'm saying. Coming back to you,
Starting point is 00:05:01 they're going to have stuff already drawn up specifically for you to do. They already, let Shannon already know what you do well. You're going to add that, and he's going to throw something on top of it because you know, because Purdy knows you're going to make the play it.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And subconsciously, when you have a great game like that, the quarterback won't come to you when you least expect it. That's what I'm saying. Just the way the game flows. That's why I needed that type of game to go and build that trust with them,
Starting point is 00:05:25 let them know. Hey, man, as we keep going forward it, I got you. If them boys ain't there, you ain't got nobody to lean on, I'm the guy. Come see me. Yeah. Really? I mean, look, he ain't got no choice now.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I mean, he's lost Kettle. And you and Jennings are, you know, you're his wide receivers. You're his most trusted. And so now, hey, and it's not, look, you guys just played them last game of the season. So you know what type of game is going to be. You know what's out there. They got spoon and wholen. For real.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Hey, you know what's in front of you. I don't know what's in front of you. All right, I ain't got to tell you nothing. Don't some good DBs. Your first time y'all played them. Uh-huh. That's some good DBs, man. I ain't a lot of good debis.
Starting point is 00:06:03 We're going to go out there and do what we do those. Sure. We ain't scared. Ain't backing down. That's time. Hey. Hey, you one step closer. For real.
Starting point is 00:06:11 That's what I'm talking. You were talking. Hell and shit out there, man. Somebody pissed you off or something? Nah, shit. Hey, I, coach, over that talking to me. So I'm like, sure. You see what's going on.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Go, these boy can't hold me for real. Like, oh, you know what you got. ain't no need to, yeah. You see it's on the field, Coach. Right. Hey, you're talking. You see, I'm giving your boy that work. That word.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Yeah, your boy in 2-7. Oh, he got that work. They had to get him up off of me. Yeah, they had to get him up off of me. The first drive. No, you can't do that with him wrong. No, you can't do that with me, man. You might call somebody else, call back up.
Starting point is 00:06:48 For real. But did you, did you know you were going to have this type of input going into the game? So, like, the plan was. to kind of get me the baller, I was way in the playbook this week more than any other week. So because Ricky wasn't up. So I'm like, okay, they're going to be able to feed me a little bit. So, you know, you go through it and practice.
Starting point is 00:07:08 You go all through the routine players and stuff like that. But I ain't know it's just going to be as fast as it was. Right. Yeah, that was second player of the game, 60 y'all, the four player at a game. Yeah. Touchdown. But here's the thing. What makes me upset is that they feed me all week long and then we come to the game
Starting point is 00:07:25 and I don't get no hunting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm about that bull, job, jive to ride. You know, they throw me no passes, and now y'all feed me. See, why y'all do you like this? Y'all could have my mind. My mind ain't really where it's supposed to be right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:37 That's how I felt versus Seattle the first time we played on board, man. I'm like, dog, because we kind of had it drawn up for me to get a couple passes. But you know how the game go and then coach changed it up a little bit. And then, you know, you never know what you're going to get out of that, man. So, sure, really, you know, you got to stay ready for that moment whenever that ball do come. Yeah, and the fact that you guys are playing the Seahawks again, you're familiar with their defense. do you see any problems in general for you from an individual standpoint, not a team collectively, but from an individual standpoint, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:06 whether it be Witherspoon, whether it be, you know, Brother Woolen, is there anyone out there that you would see, it poses any, not threat, but you know, okay, you know what, I got to tie my shoes up tight, I got to come to play. No, I mean, that's all right. That's every game. Like, those boys could have been like 2-7 last week. That boy called two picks, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:24 So you never know what you're going to get. You never know how they're going to play if it's going to be them boys, I'm and now being physical, you know, really willing. That's why he bigger sized physical cap. So long, long on, you know, you never know what you're going to get. You don't know if they're going to play. Because last week they hit us with the cover two. I don't think we was really even expecting the cover two.
Starting point is 00:08:39 You feel it? So they played cover two when we played them the first time with the last game with the season. But so we got to be ready for whatever they thought. That's for real. Well, see, that's what the time is. You know, hey, in the run block and see, I got to get physical with y'all because, see, y'all be trying to get physical in these players. So, because I know how Kyle lives,
Starting point is 00:08:56 play for, like I said, play for his dad, and he has a lot of his dad's similarities and a lot of that coaches now. Bobby T, the running back coach. Yeah, yeah. Hey, if you don't do no, if you don't do,
Starting point is 00:09:07 if you don't do, if you, and a wide receiver in that offense, if you don't do no blocking in the run game. Get on the side line. He can get on the side. He might have gone back to the bench. Absolutely. And I don't give a damn who you are.
Starting point is 00:09:18 For real, though. You got the block in that, hey, in that system. Because he'll see if he going to get his touches. Oh, you already know that. Yeah. He's getting this touch it. So you got to, you got to know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:09:29 They're making their about to look good right now, though. Now we've got to spread that thing right. We just lost Kittle, man. So trust me, Lee, I'm ready for another one against these boys right here. Good, good rivalry. Yeah, Kim, I'm so, hey, man, I'm so sorry. You down. And for real.
Starting point is 00:09:43 You put your boy up. You know what I'm up. I'm here this week again. Don't play with them. But also, I think the thing that really helps, and you have to have this in the West Coast, your receiver's got to be run after the catch. Because it's all about getting the ball
Starting point is 00:09:59 in the receiver's hand. Look, there ain't a whole lot of deep throws, you know, goal by nine balls. It's a lot of shallow crosses. It's a lot of daggers. It's a lot of overs. It's a lot of stuff where digs, in cuts, where they're expecting you to spend out of a tackle.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Get up out of that. Yeah. That's what I did last week, yeah. That's how they was using on Deepbo, too. A lot. Get on the ball and get up field. That's all it is right down. Pop, smoke screen, bubble screen.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Mm-hmm. What is, because you're familiar. This is, they probably have different terminology in Kansas City, but this is basically the same system. It's the West Coast system. It came out of culture walls. Same thing. Mike Shethan, all that.
Starting point is 00:10:38 So it's been paired, maybe they call it green. Maybe you call it orange or blue or whatever you call it, but it's pretty much the same principle. Same thing. That's why I was saying about, that's why I came over here from when I was in L.A. last year, him and him and Sean got kind of the same kind of trout tree and stuff like that. they kind of terminology are all the same. So it wasn't really that hard to pick up on the playbook.
Starting point is 00:10:57 It just, you know, a few things here. Now they switch up the verbiage on it. But it's basically the same type of offenses, for real. Man, you seem so excited because, like, it probably caught you off guard. Like, you've got to be ready for the moment. Because you don't know when that moment's going to happen. But you've got to be ready for it when it does happen. No, for real.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I was ready, boy. I was ready. I seen that ball in that hour. I said, oh, that one going to throw that ball. man, I got up to feel cut back, cut back. I see him rally, let me go and get out. You ain't for to get the ball. Yeah, they try to get it up out of me.
Starting point is 00:11:29 They try to get it up out of me. And then y'all read the delays. Y'all ready to play, actually ready to play. You make it like you go block. Block, stalk, stop. A cue. Yeah, yeah, I'm stalking. I'm stalking. I know.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I'm going to the post. Let me get that. Need it. He's too late, man. Touch now, man. Let me do my dance on y'all. Yeah. That's dope, man.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I'm happy for you, boy. It's one thing by having a game like that, man. D. Rob, boy, it gets you so much confidence, bro. For real. So much confidence. It just had you walking different. That's real. How you're talking different.
Starting point is 00:12:01 You're going to, and you go into the next game and you're expecting to have that same type of performance. So whenever those opportunities do present themselves and you already got that confidence rolling, man, there ain't nothing out there, man. Ain't nothing out there going to be able to stop you. So, man, I'm happy for you. And I mean, I'm excited. I'm excited for this game because it's going to be a good one.
Starting point is 00:12:19 But y'all going to be it, man. Y'all popping out. Where y'all let this weekend? Who are you watching? Oh, sure. Listen, I'm going to be watching. I'm going to be watching. Yes, sir, yes, sir, for sure.
Starting point is 00:12:28 For sure. Torn then. Hey, Rob, I'm going to tell you this is what you tell CMA, because this is what I used to tell T.D. Hey, man, they're in cover two. Run their ass out of body. I'm trying to tell you. That's all we got to do.
Starting point is 00:12:39 We can't throw them out of cover two. No. Oh, line. Run their ass out of this cover, too. For real. Burn on safety down. Brain no safety down. Brain no safety down.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah, that we got to do. That's all we got to do. That's all we got to do. run them up out of this because if you don't run them up out of it they're going to play cover too now well gonna stay right in it and you ain't getting no pad
Starting point is 00:12:59 you ain't getting nothing over the top of that yeah and I ain't really try to cover the only thing really that's open is try to get it fit it in between try to hold the corner up and then try to run the sail in behind them or run the square out of the deep
Starting point is 00:13:11 nah nah run their ass I don't need a safety down I need to be in here that's all I'm asking for get that running game going nothing though put that ball in the out of down. I'm going to do what I do.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Bad, congratulations on the unbelievable game. Six catches 111 yards on the touchdown. He started the game, the second player of the game, Go 60, and then he ends up catching a touchdown. They scored touchdown late in the ball game,
Starting point is 00:13:36 and the San Francisco 49 is advanced to the divisional round to take on the arch nemesis, the Seattle Seahawks. That game is going to be played on Sunday. That game is played Saturday, excuse me, Saturday night. So good luck, D-Rob. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:13:51 We'll see you down the road, man. Man, I appreciate y'all. Glad y'all had me on here, man. I appreciate it. Oh, yeah. Tell Kyle, I say, what's up? Y'all will do, man, for show. Get him more.
Starting point is 00:13:59 And Bobby T. All right, all right, for show, y'all. All right. Appreciate it, man. Thanks for coming on. Uh-huh. Man, we got so much stuff we didn't even get to ask him about, uh, he got TikTok videos and everything.
Starting point is 00:14:13 But it's all good, man. He was so, I mean, like I said, I know that system. And I know what's required. You heard what he's saying? Oh, you don't. block you're getting off the side. You heard when you say the first thing you might would not come off the bench. I know that. Hey, like I said, Kyle, Kyle might be, might be harder than his dad, but he got a lot of his dad's, a lot of his dad's traits. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Give you the ball early. You make a few plays. Right. Oh, you're going to have a big game. Yeah, you good. I could have told. I could have told him. I could have told him. I could have a big game. Because he got the ball, he, Kyle gave you, his dad was just like that. He calls up early. You make a, you make a play for him. You good. That's why I would only want the ball early. Whoever got the ball early, that's who's going to be getting late. Nah, let me get that thing.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah. You know what I do like too also about the offense. A lot of people may say a lot of stuff about Purdy, but Purdy fits very well in Shannonhan's system. Yeah, for sure. And he doesn't force the ball. He's going to give you, he going to, whatever you give him, he's going to take it.
Starting point is 00:15:15 So you never know who day it's going to be. Right. You never know who day is going to be. Now, McCaffrey, he will always get his. Yeah, absolutely. He's always going to have opportunities. But outside of McCaffrey, those receivers, everybody got to be alert because you just never know. Well, that's how it was.
Starting point is 00:15:31 We knew TD was going to get 25 touches. Oh, yeah. Is it going to be 22, 23 runs and two passes or he's going to get 25 to 30 touches? Right. Now, we didn't, look, Titi wasn't the past catcher. We, you know, we throw him a screen or we throw him a flat route or something like that. We're checking, you know, a Texas ride or something like that. But he's going to get 22, he's going to get 22, 25 carries.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And if the game dictated, he might get 30. You understood that. So, them little 25 passes that John was going to throw. How are they going to be divv it up? They're going to be giving up. I just, hey, I just need me. Let me give me my five or six targets. I'll make it do something with it.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I'll make it do something with it. Oh, Joe, there's a viral video going, around about a reporter having words of encouragement from Leon Cohen following the Jags playoff lost. Let's take a listen to what the video talks about. How you doing today? Lynn Jones, Jacksonville, Free Press News. I just want to tell you congratulations on your success, young man. You hold your head up, all right? You guys have had a most magnificent season. Thank you. He did a great job out there today. So you just hold your head up, okay? And ladies and gentlemen, Duval, you the one, all right? You keep it going. We got another season, okay?
Starting point is 00:16:45 I appreciate it. Take care. And much continued success to you. in the entire team. Thank you, ma'am. Well, I made to see the video is very heartwarming. Others have called her out. Now, Lynn Jones said that she's under criticism because she's black. I'm a member of the black press. I'm the editor of the Jacksonville Free Press
Starting point is 00:17:04 and one of the more than 230 African-American papers support the black press. Oh, Joe. Talk to me, aunt. Because you're better because you're somewhat in that space and understand when it comes to, journalism, what you can and what you can do, what's professional, what's not professional. And for me, on the outside looking in, being that I'm not really in that space, being a player, not being a coach, but being a player and hearing words like that, coming from someone who is supposed to be a journalist and ask questions on maybe why did you lose, what didn't go right, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:17:42 And hearing something different for a change, to me, it was refreshing. Yes. First thing to hear. I'm not used to it. That is my first time ever hearing someone approach. Probably the first time. Yeah, my first time hearing something like that. Oh, it is?
Starting point is 00:17:55 So I would love to hear your thoughts on what she did. Normally media members are supposed to be independent. Yes. They're not supposed to support or criticize. I mean, you know, you could criticize the plays here, the plays that, but it's not like she's a columnist. A columnist is different than a beat reporter. So from on one hand, yes.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yes. That is very out of the ordinary for them, for a reporter to say, you keep your head up. Yes, sir. You did a good job. We're proud of you, whatever, whatever all she's saying, there's next year. Normally reporters, coach, obviously, it was a tough loss for the season, but what did you think, if you could do it over again,
Starting point is 00:18:42 what would you like to have over? What would play, you know, things of that nature. So we don't normally, I think a better word is that reporters are supposed to lack empathy. They're not supposed to show compassion. In that moment, she can see that his head was down. She's probably covered every, she's probably been, every press conference this man has had since he's been the head coach of the Jags. Yes, sir. She can see he was hurting.
Starting point is 00:19:07 She would see he was down. The empathy that she showed in that moment. most journalists like I understand it's nice but she can't she's not supposed to do that she's supposed to be Switzerland she's supposed to be neutral
Starting point is 00:19:26 right so she's not supposed to be sad she's not supposed to be excited she's not supposed to be disappointed she's not supposed to be angry she's supposed to just ask questions and write do her job basically
Starting point is 00:19:39 matter of fact for her she she is the outlet for what the fans want to hear. She's supposed to ask the question to the head coach in that moment. So the fans get the answers on why things then go the way they think it should have. That is correct. Yeah. Listen, I understand both sides.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Obviously, the notion that it was unprofessional, I don't like that part of it because to me it was refreshing to hear a reporter actually have empathy for head coach in that situation with all the work that they put in, the success that they had this season in seeing that coach is obviously distraught. you know, in that moment. So giving him that praise in that moment, I don't see anything wrong with it,
Starting point is 00:20:23 but I can see those that are journalists, that are colonists, that are in that space and do their job in a certain manner in a certain way and finally seeing someone do it a little bit differently than what they're not used to hearing or seeing, I can see why they're upset. Yeah, yeah. I'm not surprised that she got the criticism that she got.
Starting point is 00:20:43 I knew that was coming. I knew that was coming because like you said, like I said, a journalist are not supposed to have basically any emotion. You're just asking. You're just asking questions because you are the link between the fan and the coach. Right. You're asking questions that you think the fans would want
Starting point is 00:21:04 that would want answers to it, deserve answers to. So you're not supposed if someone's down. You're not supposed to show compassion. Somebody's feeling so too good. you're not supposed to try and bring them down, you're just, you're there, you're just to ask questions. Right. But like you said, it is, it is, it is, uh, it was different.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Yeah. And I, I think, I wish personally, more people had empathy. I don't think we have enough empathy. No, absolutely not. I don't think we have enough compassion. Right. Especially in those spaces. Especially in those spaces.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I'm curious what the, what the chat would think. I would love to hear your thoughts, you know, on her, you know, taking a different approach as opposed to asking questions, but giving Coach Grace, you know, for the work he had done and telling him to keep his head up. I'm just curious to hear what you guys may think as well. Well, I think the thing is, I think for the most part, the chat is going to like, most people are level-headed and they, it's kind of like, oh, Joe, I look at it like this. Okay, new year, fresh start.
Starting point is 00:22:21 And honestly, I'm starting with dinner. This year, I'm being smarter about where my energy goes, and dinner was taking way too much of it. I just signed up for HelloFresh, and they take fresh start to a whole new level. Fresh, high-quality ingredients delivered right to my door, locally sourced whenever possible. Everything pre-portioned, nothing wasted.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Now, I'm not dragging myself through weekend grocery runs, or panic staring at the fridge at 5.30, trying to make something out of random leftovers. And I'm definitely not tossing out food I never used or falling back on expensive takeout apps because I ran out of ideas. Yeah, that happened a lot.

Starting point is 00:23:20 Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never told. the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission
Starting point is 00:24:31 to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone.

Starting point is 00:25:23 is a podcast designed for hunters and fishermen to enjoy success. I like the idea of like, hey, put me on a big deer. You know, hey, there's a big deer out here. He's doing this. Be looking for this deer. But I also love doing it on my own. I love going out there and saying, running my cameras.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I love patterning in the deer. I like showing up at the right time, checking the wind. knowing what stand I need to be in, and then whenever it all comes together and it happens. That's the most satisfying thing ever. So when you do it on your own, it's like, I then can hang my hat. But if I had somebody say, hey, pull up on these dots and catch them right here, and you're going to win, and then when I go win, it's like, yeah, that's cool. I won the tournament.
Starting point is 00:26:06 The ultimate goal is done. But it's like, dude, when you find them and you make them bike, that's the puzzle. I love it.

Starting point is 00:26:59 When somebody else has surgery is minor, when you have surgery is major. So people don't, as long as if I get empathy, I'm cool with no one else getting empathy. Right. Or compassion. And I think the thing is, that, you know, we've all been there
Starting point is 00:27:17 and we needed to pick me up. And I think in that space, as a journalist, that's one of the things that you're talking journalism. You're not supposed to feel one way or another. Or you're supposed to suppress those and not let people know. Do I think journalists have a liking to a certain players? Sure.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Do I think journalists have a liking to certain coaches? Sure. Do I think players have a certain dislike to certain players and coaches? Absolutely. Yes. At the end of the day, a journalist is a human being.
Starting point is 00:27:49 You might be, you might suppose to be able to contain your emotions. That doesn't mean your absence of them. And I think that's the biggest thing is that people think, okay, you're this. No, I still have emotions. I still have feelings. I still have, I still have empathy.
Starting point is 00:28:05 I still feel sympathy. I still have compassion. I still have, you know, I get angry or get upset or whatever the term that you want to use. at the end of the day, no matter what my occupation is, what my title is, no matter how much money, at the end of the day, if I got $700 billion, if you got Elon Musk money,
Starting point is 00:28:25 Elon Musk is still a man. He's still, maybe the same thing that triggers that makes him get upset, doesn't make you get upset. Maybe it's the same thing that makes him happy, doesn't make you happy. But he still has emotions. Humans are not robots. They're not devoid of feelings. But I thought it was a, it was a, it was refreshing to hear her say that.
Starting point is 00:28:52 But I knew she was going to catch some criticism for forcing in that space. Now, she had pulled him aside. Nobody would ever heard, but she said it in a public form. Right. And I think, you know, so I'm not, I'm not surprised of the criticism that she's receiving for what she said. Because I knew it was going to happen on show. I did. I really did.
Starting point is 00:29:14 it's over and done. We're now, I mean, I just, you know, sometimes I do wish we had more compassionate than that, you know. But some people have more than others. That's just the way it is, Ocho. Yeah. Some people just have more compassion than others.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I mean, maybe it's a game, but I always give homeless people money. And maybe it's a con. Maybe they're not homeless at all. Right. Maybe they got a car park across the street somewhere and they get in their car and change clothes or go home and shower and put on it and do it all over again.
Starting point is 00:29:55 But hey, it is what it is. They'll have to answer for that. I won't. That's the way I look at it. That's the way I look at it. So I like Liam Cohen. I think the Jags have a very, very bright, promising future in front of them. They got a good team.
Starting point is 00:30:13 They got a good team. And the guy they took with the second pick in the draft really didn't give them anything. So when he comes back as a wide receiver, you saw Parker Washington step up. They got Jacobi Myers. Brian Thomas Jr. didn't have the type of season that he had the previous year. So just imagine if he gets back to what he was, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Man, you know what? And I also look at it. We're now with the way Parker Washington played this year, Brian Thomas Jr. is probably going to be there next year. Jacobi's there now. I can see a role where now Travis Hunter playing full-time DB and a part-time wide receiver. Yeah, full-time DB, part-time wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Yep. I think that's probably what it's going to be. Which I thought was the best case scenario for him anyway. But hey, you said that. That'll be something that I'm sure we'll have an opportunity to talk about that. Once they get back into the OTAs again and once they get to the training camp, we'll kind of see where, and I'm sure the reporters that are practice, he's taking this many snaps on the defensive side, this many snaps on the
Starting point is 00:31:21 offensive side, and maybe it fluctuates up and down. But I think that's kind of the direction that they're heading in. I think probably where he gets the majority of his snaps on the defensive side and takes a few snaps here and there where he can help them on the offensive side. Former Dolphins head coach, Mike McDaniel, has already become a hot coaching candidate after being fired just a week ago from the Dolphins. McDaniel is set to meet with The Browns, Ravens, Falcons, Titans, according to NFL networks, Tom Pelliserio. Cleveland may get the first wing
Starting point is 00:31:53 at interview with McDaniel as their meeting is set for Monday. The team announced on social media. He previously worked for the Browns in 2014 as their wire receiver coach. Kyle was the offensive coordinator, and he was the wire receiver coach. Ocho, do you like the idea of Mike McDaniel
Starting point is 00:32:15 coach you should do? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. All the teams you just named, I don't like it. But I do like one that you didn't name. Now, I saw the report. I don't know if it was false or whether it was real or not, but I saw where he might have an opportunity to be the officer coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Now, that I do like. Right. Mike McDaniels, with his creative mind, I'm not saying he's Ben Johnson, but do you think about
Starting point is 00:32:41 the goddamn dolphins? What was that? Three years ago? Was it three years ago? Two years ago. Two years ago. When they went to the championship game, that were three years ago. Or did they end up losing to the 49ers? Listen, that offense and that creativity that he had with those receivers and the stuff that he was able to do
Starting point is 00:32:56 with Tyreek Hill, can you imagine him being able to have Monopoly, and doing all that stuff of Mono about him. Jameson. And you got Gives. I'm not sure if Montgomery's coming back. I'm not sure how that's going to work. But I would love, I would love,
Starting point is 00:33:11 of Mike McDaniels and that creativity he has offensively over there with the line. And obviously I think, you know, Coach, Mr. Campbell, I don't think he wants to. He's not going to call a place no more. No, he ain't called a place. Yeah, he's looking for somebody
Starting point is 00:33:25 to relieve him with those duties. But could Mike McDaniel revive Deshawn's career? He doesn't have the, he don't have the pieces over there, it'd be too much. So if Mike McDaniel goes to the lions,
Starting point is 00:33:50 his job is that much easier because of what you have at your disposal. I agree. I totally agree. And now your job as an officer or head coach, whatever it may be with the Browns, now your job becomes that much more difficult because you have to do more with less. I know, the pendulum is uneven.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Yeah. It's uneven. So now you're putting yourself behind the eight ball, going to a place where, okay, I have to be damn near perfect. Yeah. I ain't got. No margin for error.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Yeah, man. No, no, no. That line job, yes. Hey, did you mention the Falcons? Yeah. Also, if I read correctly today, I think John Harbaugh interviewed for the Falcons. Oh, or I got another one for you, huh?
Starting point is 00:34:41 I got another one for you. Nobody mentioned it. Mike McDaniels over there with the Eagles. Yeah. Hey, come on, now. Mm-hmm. Come on, come on, nah. And I'm not going to mention that, but, yeah, Mike McDaniels to the use.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I think the thing is, look, he has a great offense in mind. And those guys that they McVade or Shanahan's, he came from that system. Yeah. That school, the LaFleores, the Kevin O'Connell. So we've seen up with those systems, what they, Andy Reed, that West Coast system, or hybrids thereof. We've seen it work, especially when you got talent.
Starting point is 00:35:26 And so, as you mentioned, Detroit has loads of talent. I kind of has talent. I don't know what they want him to be the head coach, but, you know, I'm sure he, well, yeah, because he said to meet the Browns, Ravens, Falcons, Titans, okay. Ravens has a quarterback. Titans have a quarterback. Right now there's kind of uncertain.
Starting point is 00:35:52 They got still have Kirk have cousins on the roster, but they got a lot of money and a high draft pick, a top 10 pick tied up in Michael Pinnis Jr. So it would be very, very interesting. But when you have the creative mind that Mike McDaniel has, and we saw what they dialed up when Tyreek was healthy. We saw what he dialed up what he was able to do with H.A. And so, and Waddle.
Starting point is 00:36:16 And they had a, I forget, what's the tight end on show? We had him on. He just came back this year. Pets? No, from the dolphins. Oh, Darren Waller. Darren Waller. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:31 So, my name is nice pieces. Somebody can go there, but they need a quarterback. And I'm reading the day, they say they're looking at the coach and come in. You're not required to try to, well, this is what I can do with, with Tua. Now, we're not even, what the reports are being saying. it's like, you know, you can, if you want to move on, we will oblige you in that aspect.
Starting point is 00:36:58 But I think from a talent, just pure talent. Yeah. Falcons, you look at their defense? Over the Lions? No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying the Lions have a head coach. He's interviewing for a head coaching job.
Starting point is 00:37:17 He's not interviewing for no offensive coordinator. Okay. Now, if none of those become available, Yes, yes, yes. Yes. If it's a head coach's job, I mean, Falcons got to be knocking down the dope. They got to be knocking down the dog.
Starting point is 00:37:34 John Harbaugh is out there. I think he's first on everybody's list because he has 18 years' experience. He's won many divisions, and he's gone to and won a Super Bowl. So he's probably, he's Miss America. He's going to get the first date if he wants it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:55 That's how they're looking at it, no, Joe. I like the Titans. I think the Titans got a quarterback. I think the Giants have a quarterback. But I don't really know a whole lot about the Titans. I'll let just know if they got Simmons over there. And he's special. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:10 He ain't going to be that long, but go ahead. Yeah. You know, they got Calvin Ridley. He's coming back off of injury, the tight end. So they got some pieces. Pollard played well. But all things being equal, he has an interview with the.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Ravens, the Ravens need a lot of work defensively. We know what they got with Lamar. They need to fix that offensive line. Yeah. Mainly, right guard. They got to fix that, don't you know, they got to fix that. And they got to get Zay Flowers, I don't think Zay is going anywhere. No.
Starting point is 00:38:46 But Bateman this year was a no-show. He's a no-show. Damn. That's tough, man. That's tough. because I'm just speaking on Bateman's bateman behalf, you can only do so much
Starting point is 00:39:06 when the opportunity they'll present themselves, you know? I agree. You can only do so much. He ain't do that much. I get what you saying. Yeah. He didn't do that much, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:39:23 So I think the thing is, look, the question is, I mean, are you going to go another year and not have Deshaun get on the field and not do anything? Now, obviously, he couldn't do anything last thing. last year, Ocho, he had the Achilles injury. They never activated him. He was, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:38 he was scheduled to come, but they didn't bring him off the R-R-list. But what are you going to do? Right. You're going to let him sit on the sidelines again for another $50 million? Right. Yeah. I mean, I think you I think you at least try. Yeah. I'm not saying,
Starting point is 00:40:02 I don't know. I hate saying never or always, but it's just I'm not sure that he be ever what he was when he was in Houston. And that was the thing, Ocho, that's why you gave up what you gave up. That's why you gave up the compensation because, Ochoo, he's 26, not 36, he was 26. But there's no way you could have foreseen.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I don't know what they knew or what they didn't know. I mean, everything is speculation. Some city did. Some city did. I don't know what they knew. I don't know what they knew, when they knew, what they, you know. I don't know. All I know, but for that kind of money,
Starting point is 00:40:44 I've got to try to get something. Yeah. I got to. But those are some great choices for McDaniel. Yeah, very good ones. Very good ones. Falcons, loaded with talent. Ravens got the best quarterback out there on the market
Starting point is 00:41:03 of the teams that, you know, that's available, obviously. You know, about a two-time MVP. The Titans have a quarterback that they believe in, and I think, you know, Cam Ward played well. Calvin Ridley comes back, maybe add some pieces. Red. Yeah. But it's going to be very interesting to see how this thing.
Starting point is 00:41:24 I think somebody's waiting for the big domino to fall. And I think that's John Harbaugh. I think once Harbaugh decides where he's going to go, I think all the other pieces will start to fall in place after he decides what he's going to do. So I think everybody's kind of waiting, you know, because nobody wants to jump the gun. You had a chance of John Harbaugh and you went ahead
Starting point is 00:41:43 and you hired this guy. So I think once that domino falls on show, I think everything else is kind of fall in the play from there. Right. And then you'll see, you know, but hey, maybe there's some coaches that's still in the postseason.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Maybe the Rams, D.C. Who knows? Maybe the Clint Kubiak I think gets an opportunity. Obviously, they couldn't talk. They couldn't talk. Yeah, they could. I don't know if he interviewed, though.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Wait, they can't talk to a coach while he's still coaching. They can if you're on the by week, you could do, you could do Zoom. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. But all the teams that's playing, so somebody from, say, the Patriots or, you know, the Steelers or whomever, anybody that played this weekend, no, you're not able to talk to them. If you're lost, you're able to talk now. But the teams that were on the by week, you could have Zoom meetings. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Okay. Aaron Rogers went off on fans on social media who won't Mike Tomlin and Matt. Matt LaFleur fired. Let's take a listen to what Aaron had to say after the game. This league has changed a lot in my 21 years. You know, when you hear a conversation about the Mike Tomlins of the world, Matt LaFleuores of the world, those are two that kind of I've played for. And when I first got in the league, there wouldn't be conversation about whether those guys were on the hot seat.
Starting point is 00:43:11 You know, but the way that the league is covered now. in the way that there's snap decisions and the validity given to the, you know, the Twitter experts and all the, you know, experts on TV now who, who make it seem like they know what the hell they're talking about. To me, that's an absolute joke. And for either of those two guys to be on a hot seat is really apropos of where we're at, it's a society in a league, because obviously Matt's done a lot of great things in Green Bay. and we had a lot of success.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Mike Tee's had more success and damn there anybody in the league you know, from, for the last 19, 20 years. And I've answered that a number of times. I've talked extensively about how I feel about Mike. And I just did in that fucking answer.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Thanks. Hey, I like what he said. I like what he said on, right? And he said they've had success, including Mike Tomlin. Mike Forrest has success. Mike Tomlin's has success. Mike Tomlin's has success.
Starting point is 00:44:16 for the last umpteen years right but what's one thing you always say as players that you got to do each year update that resume you got to update your resume even even if you can't with your leave go ahead on your show finish your thought i'm going to say even as even as head coach you know the onus on it the onus is on you you know so it's reflecting you as a coach if you're not winning i mean the end goal can be okay we had a winning season okay we were above 500 let me ask you this, what are we measuring success by? Because at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:44:56 I thought our job is to win championships, multiples. We can't win one championship and think that entitles us to a lifetime contract. Yeah. Even as a player, if we've learned nothing else,
Starting point is 00:45:15 Peyt Manning did not have a lifetime contract with the Colts. Tom Brady did not have a lifetime contract with the Patriots. Aaron Rogers. Aaron, you didn't have a lifetime. Nobody's one damn. Boy, you want folks MVP.
Starting point is 00:45:30 You want a Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP. Right. In the words of Janet Jackson, what have you done for me lately? That's what we are now, Ocho. That's where we are. And, look, I'm not saying it's right or wrong,
Starting point is 00:45:52 but, you know, I think Coach Landry won his last Super Bowl in the mid-70s. He went back to the Super Bowl in the late 70s, lost to the Steelers both times. But to stay on 10, 12 years, I think those days are over, Ocho. I really do. You know what the funny thing about it, even if those days are over, even if you do,
Starting point is 00:46:18 you fire the floor. Okay, you fire Mike Tomlin? Yes. Nothing's going to change, young. No. Nothing's going to change because you definitely got to get better. But LaFlor, I think their team, because they do, they still have a very good quarterback, a top 10 quarterback over there.
Starting point is 00:46:36 So they will always be in contention based on the construction of their team. Now, the goddamn Steelers are always going to be in purgatory. They're always going to be in purgatory, especially right now because it takes years to find a competent quarterback you can build around. It takes years. Oh, Cho. The Steelers have not lost their last seven playoff games dating back to 2016 AFC championship game.
Starting point is 00:47:07 That is the longest playoff losing streak in franchise history. None of the last five games have ever been, have not even been close. Yeah. They've lost each game by double digits. So what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:47:19 What are we talking about? I mean, in all honesty, What are we talking about? You're right. I mean, see, Aaron is, Aaron is taking them having success over the years as opposed to looking at how things are playing out right now. Right now. Right now.
Starting point is 00:47:41 And, look, this is not like a marriage for rich and poor and sickness and in help. No. Bro, I can lead this relationship, bro. I'm not getting the fulfillment out of it that I need. That's just the way it is, so Cho. It is what it is. My girlfriend said it all the time, boys, hard but it's fair.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Sad, but it's true. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's a good one right there on. That was simple. That was simple, boy, that was a good one. Hold, let me find a pen and my pen and paper. Okay, new year, fresh start. And honestly, I'm starting with dinner.

Starting point is 00:53:18 we could have a discussion about them being close. They ain't been close to a decade. They've lost their last seven games, the last seven playoff games. How are they close to winning? Damn hotel ain't got. to win in the championship,
Starting point is 00:53:35 Foucho? Oh, they not? They not. Not even close. And listen, they were kind of all in defensively.
Starting point is 00:53:43 You know, they went and got some good pieces, very good pieces. So if they went one, that defense would have had to play like Houston played. That defense for the Steelers would have to play
Starting point is 00:53:51 like the Broncos played all season long. Right. They weren't like that. Even though they think they might have the highest roster or the highest earnings when to come to a defense in general. But they didn't play like it.
Starting point is 00:54:04 On paper, oh, it looked good. Because I was one of the first ones to talk when they got all them boys, oh, they're going to be nice, Slay and Hayward back. You got T.RAM. You got Ramsey, Joy Porter, you know. TJ was kind of beat up this year. I think, in all honesty, they really, I mean, Jalen Warren was okay game.
Starting point is 00:54:31 What was okay in the running game. They haven't really been able to run the ball consistently, like the Steelers that we, you know, they had Nike Harris, but, you know, he got a thousand yards, but a thousand yards, I mean, a thousand yards and 17 games, don't you age as saying?
Starting point is 00:54:49 No. That's basically damn, like, 62 yards a game. But 62 yards of game, Russian, get you a thousand yards. Or close to it. Yeah, it gets a thousand yards.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I think 62. 62 times 10 is 620 plus another 7 62 yeah what are we doing I look Steelers going to do what they do and I noticed like I said Steelers hadn't fired a coach their last coached they hadn't have a three coaches in 50 years yeah that's what they've had three coaches in 50 years and Chuck Nall retired coach Null retired and coach Kyle retired um I think What's called him? Got the job?
Starting point is 00:55:43 I think Coach Carroll coach 16 years. I think he got the job in 92 because coach, I remember coach who he's the D.C. at Kansas City under Marty. For real? Yeah. Uh-huh. You know, coach actually played. Coach played with the Browns.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know about that, though. Yeah, I know about that. Yeah. So with the Steelers lost tonight, Mike Tomlin has now tied former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis for the most. consecutive playoff losses, seven in NFL history. You don't want to be on that list.
Starting point is 00:56:27 All right, it's your night's time for our final segment. It's time for Q and A. Oh, Marvin. Let's try my camera one more time. I'm just sick of this thing. Yeah, I don't know what you got going on. Brian M. 6198, Giants, NFC, Chavs, 2027 with Harbaugh.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Give us a plus-miners. So I'm just trying to figure out where Seattle going? where the bear's going, where the 49ers going, where the Rams going. Eli Manning deserves Hall of Fame over Rogers, over Big Ben, over Russ. He's not Dan Mattingly. He's effing Eli Manning.
Starting point is 00:57:22 I like Eli, but he wasn't better than Rogers or Big Ben. I mean, you know, the first thing they say, what Eli Manning had two Super Bowls. He's beat Tom Brady twice. so Tred Dipper has a super bow he ain't better than Dan Marino Brad Johnson has a super boat he ain't better than Dan Marino right
Starting point is 00:57:48 what we do it here look at the body of work man DG 7 CJ also not who he used to be he did not play well he has not played well he has not played consistent yeah he's a turner machine now Ocho he is
Starting point is 00:58:13 I'm not sure what the issue is, but whatever, he did his rookie here. I don't know what it was. He got to pull that back. He got to pull that back out of him. Well, did you, did you hear him talk after he had that rookie season? Yeah. He ignored himself. He's historically and generational great.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Brow. What makes the greats great is that they have success over, over a sustained period of time. Not no one season. Consistency. I mean, we've seen a lot of guys have a great one season. That's not what you want. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Fielding McDast, the Eagle fan here. Our office was anemic all year. No one to blame but ourselves. Father O.C. Ocho, invite A.J. to Y. Receiver University. He needs your help. Shit. Well, AJ is good, man. Man, he come on out there,
Starting point is 00:59:15 have, you know, politics with the boys, but he's good. He's good. True and infamous, Texas defense was hunting out there. Good luck, Drake May, because you're going to need it and need it big time. Hey, both of these defense can hunt. You saw the way they hunted Justin Herbert yesterday. You saw tonight the way to Texas, and that's what they've been able to do all year long get out to their opposing team's quarterback.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Now, if you look at it, the way to, the game started off, Stevens was trying to neutralize that rush by running the football. I believe the Patriots can run the football a little better than what. Well, I know they can. I don't think I know with Henderson and Mondry Stevens. So, Andre Stevens. Is Stevens or Stevenson?
Starting point is 01:00:03 Stevenson. I know they can run the football better than the Steelers. So that's the way you neutralize a pass rush. You got to be able to run the football. Because they don't get home. Yeah. They're going to get home. Hellbell, O.G.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Y'all Texas fans happy, huh? CJ are going to throw four picks next game. Well, he had three turners with this one. Bob and Patel, Texas will get blown out by the Patriots. Steelers' offensive line was just sorry. Rogers and Tomlin need to go to the Falcons. Solid running back, solid wire receiver, tight-in, good defense, and a weak-ass division.
Starting point is 01:00:45 True. True. ZZZ, J-HD, one ZZ. Man, that defense almost rushed to my house tonight. They are different. Sheesh. Hey, the boy good, now. Texas can get out to your man.
Starting point is 01:01:06 And listen. With Danelle Hunter and Will Anderson, Jr., and they got those guys inside. They got rankings. They got Barnett. I didn't see, I don't know if Settled is injured or Mario Edwards, Jr. But, hey, they get out to the quarterback.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Chazir. man, Petrie. Petrie. Yeah, boy. Kill the Batman. Three things are certain in life. In life, death, taxes, and the Steelers being one and done in the playoffs.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Pretty much. Seven straight. All I know is people beat up Marvin Lewis when he was losing every year in the playoffs. Oh, yeah. Now, you know you got to have a winning record to get into the playoffs, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:51 And people beat them up. Oh, I'm believe that alone, on Joe. I got no chill. Talking on, Joe, what were the Steelers thinking trade away pickets while he was still on his rookie contract? They were thinking they were not going to be able to get that out of it. Yeah. It's okay. Let him go flourish.
Starting point is 01:02:10 We can't get that out of it. He didn't believe in the quarterbacks. They didn't know how to get him the ball. Here's a win. They're going to get a draft pick out of it. Pick seemingly found a home or made himself a lot of money if he chooses to go elsewhere. Everybody wins. Not famous Reggie.
Starting point is 01:02:29 What's up? Ocho, big fan from Boston. Can you shout up my dad, Reggie Sr. He's a lifelong Steelers fan, and the boys just went down again. Absolutely. Reggie, Reggie Senior. Sorry about the Steelers, man.
Starting point is 01:02:43 Oh, yeah. Bees that way sometimes, but you can't be too disappointed because you guys have done this. It's 736. Yeah, for a minute. Eric G. What Pete you say? God is the greatest.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Our defense might be number two. He did say that. That's a classic line. Babi Patel, Texas office was the reason they don't win at all. I don't believe in Stroud overhyped after one season. Sports media need to stop overhyping all these quarterbacks after a good rookie season or a sophomore season. You're right.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Guys used to have now, we'll not you. I mean, guys normally had to put together three, four seasons before we started talking about how great somebody else. Now, I have one season and now he's, man, he better than such and such. He better than let it play out. We got time to judge him. They ain't going nowhere. T-11, Steelers need to stop signing, has been players, and focus on the draft.
Starting point is 01:03:44 I agree. That's a good one. That's a good one. DJR. Why, crazy. Ocho, throw the entire jacket out. What jacket? the one you just took off. Man, you can tell you, that's somebody that just doesn't know.
Starting point is 01:04:04 He don't know. Nah, he don't know. They probably young, though. They don't know by Avericks. King underscore David. Their office is made at best, but I don't think any team in the AOC can handle this Texas D. Levin to the ball every damn play. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:04:27 You make it difficult if you turn the ball over now. That's going to be very. Everybody that you're going to play now has better offenses. Much better. So shockwave truth, Roger Shell Shock, he's done. He's 42. He doesn't have the players that can elevate him. And at this age,
Starting point is 01:04:52 and he's not able to elevate on a consistent basis to players around him. Yeah. This is not new. T.S. Carwatch, Detail Service. It's all over for Rogers and Russell. Ocho, why don't you have no merch? You have a fan base.
Starting point is 01:05:11 A great interview with that Tank, the singer. I ain't interview tape. I would like the interview tank, but I haven't. Tone of the Virgo, Steelers, are not allowed to say when, 10, and years. 2662, Caleb Williams, Booneck, C.J. Stroud. Daniel all over height by the media.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Let's see some consistency before crowning these guys. Okay. I ain't going to fight you, bro. Everyone cooks, what up? O'Kanocho, who do y'all have MVP? And what is the voting criteria? Man, I would have voted Matt Stafford. Matt Stafford.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Matt Stafford. Cald Simpson, defense saves CJ's career. Three turnovers of the playoff game, Unk, and still win. If I were CJ, I'd name my daughter of Texans, Deisha Straub. Yeah. And then they played, who they played the last time? Did they play Kansas City? He had a couple turnovers.
Starting point is 01:06:35 I mean, after his rookie year, he's kind of turned the ball over a little bit too much for my liking, don't you? Yeah. Where do you want to see AJ play next season, chat? Ooh, that's a good one. What do you think he's going to be happy at, Ocho? Uh, another West, West Coast system. I'm trying to think of a West Coast system that's the need of a receiver. Kansas City.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Kansas City is a good one. Who else? I see. You know who did another receiver? Who? The Chargers? The Raiders. No, the Raiders already got a receiver coming over there.
Starting point is 01:07:37 but charges Ravens the Giants Oh A.J. Brown and Malik neighbors. Anyone Cooks, AJ Brown to the past. It was his favorite team
Starting point is 01:08:03 as a kid. He has a good relationship with Braves. Shout out to me making five years in the Army from Augusta, Georgia. A.1. Cooks, thank you for your service. Thank you for your service, boy. That their braids, braids, ain't going to go for that, what Siriani went for. You ain't going to be talking, no.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Unculture underscore J, that boy, Ocho, went through somebody's medicine cabinet behind the mirror in the bathroom with that jacket all. Ocho, why don't like your jacket? This the color? Them young folk, man, I told you that. Your boy, Sammy, what's up, Ogadocho? Today I turned 27 years old.
Starting point is 01:08:49 I wanted to say thank y'all for all the laughs. And advice you give, I'm grateful for y'all, man. Ocho, for my birthday, my wish, give, okay, $59. Man, who's sad you all on? Side, you owe me money. Karen, fan character with eyes wide open, blushing. Why you're blushing, Karen? Sam Zelensky.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Chat, who y'all got? Pats or Texans? Woof. Hey, that's a tough one, y'all. It is, but I think I'll lead towards the Pats at home. Kumar Arthur Smith going on five years with seven different quarterbacks, four with the, four with Falcons, three with Steelers, Ryan Wilson, Rogers, fastest prime.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Should he go to Detroit or Philly? For Arthur Smith? He had some success, Ocho, when he was the O.C. in Tennessee. But they were a running team. Yeah. Remember they had Derek Henry. Yeah, they had A.J. Brown, but they were a running team. There were a big physical team,
Starting point is 01:10:07 ran the football, Taddy Hill play action. Defense was really good. They had Harold Landry and Simmons and Kevin Byard. You know, they had some nice pieces, don't you know? Bobo Patan. She did nothing wrong. All these journalists asked the same dumb questions every week, spreading negativity trying to tear down players and coaches.
Starting point is 01:10:36 I like it. GIP 9165, I know it's NFL night, but, oh, do you see Big Seaton? enter the port. I did. The five-star offensive linemen from Colorado, Colorado, yeah, I saw it. I saw I'm going to the port.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Ocho, Ocho, these guys go into the highest builder. I mean, Ocho, I mean, the top 500, three-quarters of a million? Yeah. Must be the money. Must be. Shines double zero. Anyone notice Brady tap A-F players on the helmet?
Starting point is 01:11:13 Helmet, what players he shakes their hand? I ain't noticed that. I ain't pay that no man. Jordan, two time. If you had to build a Super Bowl team and you could only overpay one piece quarterback pass rush your offensive line. What do you spend?
Starting point is 01:11:34 Offensive line. Yep. Overpaying. I mean, no. Well, no, I'm the quarterback. I don't give a damn how good your office line. You ain't got the guy to pull the trigger. Give me Tom Brady.
Starting point is 01:11:43 He'll figure it out. Give me Peyton Man, he'll figure it out. Shoot, and no officer line? Give me a great offensive line. and then you put a quarterback back there, what you're going to get? Shoot, nothing. In today's game, Ocho?
Starting point is 01:11:56 Now, maybe once upon a time? Yeah. But now with the rules the way they are? Right. Name one elite trait that you think fans overrate with judging quarterbacks. One trait you believe predicts winning
Starting point is 01:12:12 that fans barely talk about. They overweight armstrip. Yeah. And he got a cannon. I don't mean none. And the one thing... I ain't taking my quarterback to war. They don't need no canon.
Starting point is 01:12:26 The best elite trait for a quarterback is right here. Absolutely. That's the best trait to have. Rodney M. I hate to say, but as a Steelers fan, we may need to trade T.J. to rebuild. We're turning into the same. Oh, damn, we're turning into the damn cowboys at this point.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Damn. Brian M. 61. 68. Who is more clutched as an underdard? dog than Eli. You're right. And that doesn't mean he's better than some of the other quarterbacks they ever named earlier though.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Nope. He's led the league in touchdowns more than he's led to league in passing or touchdowns. No. I ain't taking them over Rothensburg or Aaron. During the beat, should Texas possibly entertain moving CJ? No, man. For someone like Burrow.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Man, they ain't not trading Burrow. love CJ, but little mistakes likely will lose you the games. Yeah, he's turned the ball over a lot lately. Yes, yes, he has. But, uh, if I'm Cincinnati, why am I trading, why am I training you? Why am I training Burrow for CJ? Not happening.
Starting point is 01:13:48 I mean, it's a cool hypothetical. You could make that happen on Madden if you play. That's about, what do you think about the bill's OC to Atlanta as a head coach? I think Joe Brady is the OC at Buffalo, Ocho. Yeah. Hell, anything's possible. I think Mr. Blank's going to leave no stone unturned. He wants to win.
Starting point is 01:14:08 And, hey, and that's Matt Ryan's job now. Cory Blessman. Humor is O. Raven just hired you as the new head coach. Who are you bringing as your O.C. and D.C. Also, what are you doing with this roster before next season? I don't know why y'all want to make me coach. I told you.
Starting point is 01:14:32 The writing is on the wall. No, they. Yeah, you just can't see it. I got removal. The knock is at the door. No, the knock is at the door, but you just ain't answering it. Nah, if I'm the Ravens, I'm going to hire Clint Kubiak, O-C for the Seattle Seahawks. Mm.
Starting point is 01:14:52 He created. You see what he's, you see what he's done. Yeah. With Sam Donald and what he's been able to do with JSC, with JSC, got the running game. What concerns me as bad. Sam Donald turned that ball over. He had 20 plus turtle with this season,
Starting point is 01:15:14 Ocho. Yeah. That'll get you beat. Chat ban champion, Ocho chain from Timo. I seen it the other day. Ocho, your chain for Tibu? Nope. What's from? My Jula.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Timo? Nah, I don't know what Timu is. What's Timu? You do know what Timu is? How I'm supposed to know what Timo is? Pimu. Thank you guys for joining us for another episode of Nightcap as you watch the Houston Texans
