Brought to you by Novartis, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports Network.
I'm Jake Hofer and this is Back 40, a limited series show on wire to hunt, part of Meat
Eaters podcast network.
Each episode I'll be asking eight wide tail hunting pros
a focused, thought provoking question
about hunting and land management.
How do I hunt the best part of the farm
with less than ideal access?
Should you, that's what the real question is.
Stand without good access is not a good stand.

Demar DeRozan went on Mellow's Pod
and explained the difference between
being the young players now when he was their age.
Demar said, I see that mofo put his name
on Twitter search at halftime to see what they were saying.
Joe, that misbehavior like this, Joe.
Hey, it's, hey, in this new era,
it's a lot different, fellas.
Halftime, he ain't lying.
Now, I'm sure, you know, a lot of these teams
gonna put these stipulations in where these guys
can't be using their phone at halftime,
but a lot of these cats, man,
they own their phones at halftime,
checking to see what's going on.
It's just a, it's almost like a habit. It's a part of who they, man, they on their phones at halftime checking to see what's going on. It's just a, it's almost like a habit.
It's a part of who they are and what they do.
They can't help it.
You sitting in your locker room,
first thing you do, pick up your phone,
you go to scrolling.
Yeah.
We ain't, hey, now at a, like in a practice,
like they get a break.
Yeah.
Guys go get on the phone then, you know what I'm saying?
You know, call somebody.
But boy, I can't even imagine,
Ocho, can you imagine somebody doing that
at halftime of a game?
Did that ever happen?
Hey, I can't even talk trash, y'all.
Cause my crazy ass,
I tweeted on the sideline in the middle of the game,
in the middle of the preseason game.
You remember that?
You remember that?
Yeah, I wouldn't agree with that, but preseason.
But I'm talking about the regular,
they talking about regular season.
No, no, no, you know, I wouldn't do nothing like that,
but I think we were playing Philly in the preseason
and I got hit real good.
I'm talking about in the real good,
to the point where I had to go
and let everybody know I was okay.
The tweet might still be up.
Well, if you didn't take it down, yeah, it's still up.
It's still up there.
We were playing the Eagles in the preseason
and I forgot the dude's name.
White fella, you know, he's really good, War 55.
I can't remember his name, but he caught me on the slam.
Ooh, woo!
I wanted to say bruh, it's preseason,
but I had to sit there for a little minute before I got up. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, No. Hey, we in different times, Joe. And now guys getting paid in college and high school too?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
We in different times.
College is a professional sport now.
It is.
Yeah, it's a professional sport.
It is.
And you see what they doing?
You see they trying to limit.
You see they trying to limit the NIL, Ocho.
You see that, right?
Yeah, they trying.
You know why they trying to limit it, Joe?
Right, talk to me.
Because the people that get the money, who they look like. Hey listen, hold on, while you talking,
they say they were gonna start doing a little back pay
on their, I went and checked in on it,
but they only going back like 10 years.
Damn.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can fuck off, Joe.
Are you trying to get a little back pay, huh?
I'm just trying to see what going on, Joe.
I ain't trying to rough it up,
I'm just trying to see what going on. I got you, to roughen up. I'm just trying to see what going on.
I got you.
Without I know they go back to damn your 40 years.
That's what it'd be for me. That's y'all went to school today.
So I know I get nothing. It's a matter of state. I had nobody
to be paid. Nobody got nobody got no money to pay nobody now.
So I know they get no back pay. I don't I don't I don't get this. Like I say, guys, when you hear you nobody now. So I know they ain't getting no back pay. But I don't get this.
Like I say, guys, when you're here, you're here.
Now, when you home, okay, be there.
Do what you want to do.
You want to tweet, you want to do whatever you want to do.
But I'm confused.
At the half of a game, you checking what people saying
on Twitter, IG, whatever the case may be.
Really? Hey, you thinking you probably too locked in even
they even care about that at that point that's what i was yeah yeah i would be
thinking like that's why our phones are such a
distraction nowadays man you gotta think when i was in college they are and i
know y'all a little older than me but when i was in college we didn't have
cell phones man we have cell phones man We have their phones
Now it was so expensive without
Huh?
You have a cell phone. No, man. You go get your calling card call whoever you want to call
That's how y'all talking you talk that card up you go get your nut
Or you get somebody else call the car
I had a phone Joe. I had a little raise you get somebody else calling I don't know what, I don't know. I had to say, but at that point, but see the thing, it was different.
I mean, it was different.
People, I mean, they took that stuff serious, man.
And I think the thing is now, Joe,
is that like a lot of the veterans have been like
ushered out and so they're getting younger and younger.
Yeah.
And they, you know, and so all this stuff
that are doing now,
but yeah, that would be the man, that would be,
ooh, ooh, goodness gracious.
Times have changed.
It is.
Times have changed.
You couldn't even.
The money, go ahead Joe.
Could y'all even fathom like the things
that you could get into as a kid, bro,
in this time and era to where you got all these devices,
whether it's phones, iPads, it's just too much, man.
There's so many distractions nowadays.
It's hard to keep a lot of these dudes focused, man.
It is. Yeah, it is.
It is too much.
They gotta want it.
They gotta want it.
They gotta want it.
That's the only thing.
You gotta really want it to be able to function
and lock in during these times. You gotta want it.
You do. You do. You gotta okay prioritize what's important, what's really important.
Right. Right.
And what's a must have.
Absolutely right.
And the thing is like, who am I checking in on? They know where I'm at.
I'm at a game.
Man, what you doing?
Playing the game.
Okay, you called me on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
oh, you called me at 10 o'clock, 10, 30 in the morning.
Man, what you doing?
Practice.
I'm watching film, I'm studying.
What are you doing?
You should, first of all, why you calling me?
You should be at work too.
I never understood that, Ocho.
I don't, I didn't.
I didn't understand why guys would get out of meeting
and they go get on the phone.
Bro, you know what your, unless somebody, I get it.
Okay, your wife and your girlfriend, pregnant,
expecting, kids sick, I get that. But, your wife and your girlfriend, pregnant, expecting, kids sick, I get that.
But y'all gonna, first of all,
if you go get on the phone like this here,
you ain't checking in to see if somebody's sick.
No, I already do, hey.
No, it's Hamadiyah.
But, you good over there?
No, she probably still,
probably left a little chick at the house,
so you know you gotta check it
and make sure she good in between means.
Make sure she got something to eat.
I said, man, it's different, Joe.
I mean, think about it.
Think about when you came in and when you left.
Now think about the time,
10 years from now, what it's gonna be like.
The NBA gonna join it.
They gonna join in on all the fun,
all this stuff these dudes doing.
They gonna have activities for post game halftime.
You know, the interview, the interview guys
will decide like, we're gonna have that
cause you know, sometimes they talking to the,
they talking to the managers and things like that.
They'll find a way to capitalize.
You're right, they'll find a way to capitalize. You're right They'll find a way to capitalize
Good news what you got? Oh good news
No, go ahead Joe, what were you gonna say Joe? No, go ahead. I'm listening
Trey Hendrickson
Reported to bingles camp and told reporters things are exactly the same with contract talks
What I'm not going to do is be a distraction.
Excuse me.
Trey isn't practicing, but is back strictly
to eliminate the $50,000 daily fine.
Trey was seen coaching Shamar Stewart.
Also, Ocho, are you feeling optimistic?

Check out Behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series
following the launch of San Diego Football Club.
We go behind the scenes and explore the stories
of those involved.
San Diego coming to MLS is gonna be a game changer
because this region has been hungry
for a men's professional soccer team.
We need veteran players and we need young players.
Like, you're building a team from scratch.
And so the succession plan of long-term success
needs to be defined.
We need to embrace this community.
When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier
and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain, just watching the fans jumping up and down.
I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me.
Not only was that gonna be my game,
but it was gonna be my life.

Season two of Good Game with Sarah Spain is underway.
We just welcomed one of my favorite people and an incomparable soccer icon, Megan Rapinoe
to the show and we had a blast.
We talked about her recent 40th birthday celebrations, co-hosting a podcast with her fiance Sue Bird,
watching former teammates retire and more.
Never a dull moment with Pino.
Take a listen.
What do you miss the most about being a pro athlete?
The final.
The final.
And the locker room.
I really, really, like you just, you can't replicate, you can't get back.
Showing up to the locker room every morning just to talk. We've got more incredible guests like the legendary Candice Parker and college superstar
AZ Fudd.
I mean, seriously, y'all, the guest list is absolutely stacked for season two.
And you know, we're always going to keep you up to speed on all the news and happenings
around the women's sports world as well.
So make sure you listen to Good Game with Sarah Spain on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports.
No, absolutely I'm not feeling optimistic. You got to understand, Trey Henderson only came back
simply so he doesn't have to pay the fine. He got there, you know, on good notice. He's not there, he's not there on good notice.
He's not there, because he don't wanna pay the fines.
And then he also said, well, we still in a standstill.
There has been no forward progress
in us getting the deal done.
I'm assuming it must be far off.
The only reason he's there is because I don't wanna
accumulate a certain amount of fines.
50,000 a day.
They can't rescind.
They gotta take it. I'll be there too.
One thing about it,
and one thing I know about the Brown family,
what you're not gonna do is you're not gonna bully Mike Brown.
You're not gonna bully Mike Brown.
It's not happening.
If his feet are cemented and he said,
this is what we can do and this is what we can pay,
that's what it's gonna be.
That's what it's gonna be.
And I'm hoping, I'm hoping because defensively,
we need all hands on deck, we need all the help we can get.
Frank Henderson had a hell of a year last year
and the year before.
I would love for him to be compensated as such.
I hope at some point they come to an agreement
and a number that makes sense for both.
But as of right now, it ain't happening.
Man, I'm looking at.
Y'all gonna need him, Ocho.
Ocho.
Yeah. Y'all gonna need him.
Oh, absolutely. Listen, absolutely, absolutely.
Listen, listen, our defense was 26th, 27th ranked
or something like that in the NFL last year, 25th,
and we had him.
So hell, even with the improvements,
even with the improvements at the middle,
excuse me, at the middle linebacker position
and getting Shamar Stewart
and other off-season acquisitions,
we need everybody we can get to make sure we don't look like we did.
Hey, he's saying.
Hey, Joe, we don't need to be top five defense in NFL.
We just need you to be somewhere in the middle of the pack and stop somebody.
We score 30 points.
That man has 17 and a half sacks and y'all finish where y'all finish.
So take away them 17 and a half sacks and y'all finish where y'all finish so take away them 17 and a half sacks
What you think y'all go finish?
I'll just I'll just see because the old joke. It's not like it's not like y'all got like
Y'all just like loaded with talent like equals, right? So a one piece goes out. You know, okay cool. We good
You know, they lost two key pieces,
but they still got, you know, still got Carter.
They still got Davis.
They still got Braun.
They got the corners and things like that.
They got, they good.
They locked.
Right.
Bro, y'all really got one player
that people worry about on defense.
It's him.
It's him.
Hey, okay, they even spent all that.
And with no pressure.
They even spent all that money on offense.
Yeah, I mean, listen, that's our identity.
That's our identity, Joe.
But you can't let your big fella,
you can't let your D in go, Ocho, come on now.
Hey, Joe, this is business, Joe.
This is business, Joe.
You know, all the money, I think we 29 million under the cap.
Don't quote me, I might be wrong.
I think we're somewhere around there.
So I think they can get to a number that's decent,
that makes the owners feel comfortable,
that can make Trey feel comfortable.
But hell, if it was, shit,
I would assume it would have been done by now.
Hell, we have six months.
This season ended last year.
They might as well go on trading man,
go on trading Mocho.
That's what they should do, but they probably like,
like what you say, that's a prideful,
that's a prideful man.
He don't play, he don't play on, boy he do not play.
They don't let you back him into a corner,
they don't let you bully him.
Hey Joe, I was in my prime Joe, you know, and I was I was upset, you know,
that just some of the media blaming me for us losing.
I'm like, well, here, how y'all blaming me for us losing?
I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do.
I'm like, you know, you know, and I was like, man, well, let me get up out of here then.
Okay.
Man, please.
Boy, who's the former owner of the Redskins?
I'm sorry.
Are the commanders?
Dan Snyder.
And Dan Snyder offered Mike Brown two first round picks,
Joe.
I mean my prime, Joe.
I'm talking about prime, mouth full of gold.
That boy.
Yeah, that boy.
Man, Mike Brown said,
uh-uh, uh-uh, he ain't going to wear you,
whether you mad or not.
But I came back that following season,
boy had about 560 yards that season, Joe.
It wasn't nothing wrong with me.
I went from a 13, 1400 yard season
to all of a sudden 500 out the blue, and I'm healthy.
What, they went throwing in your way, bro.
Oh, they get to that.
They picked it up for you.
Joe that that that let me know.
Okay.
I see.
I see.
I see who run the show.
You know what?
Let me play the game the right way.
That's all.
That's all I need to see.
Joe.
I went from a 1300
yard season the next season after being disgruntled all of a sudden I only got 500 yards.
Man they ain't heard a peep from me after that.
Well yeah y'all better y'all better y'all better get your head. Hey you see the Steelers.
What a Steelers got a solid defense.
Solid, they more than solid, on paper.
Wait a minute, on paper.
Outside TJ White, who's proven,
but you got other pieces that come from other places
that play-
They got Highsmith, they got Hebrick,
I think that's his name.
They got Cam Hayward, still look ready, man.
Highsmith is 56, right?
56 is Highsmith, right? Yeah, yeah. And he was ballin' last year. I think he kinda dinged, Cam Heyward still look ready. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, he was he was born I think he kind of ding but the other guy he might be 51
But they got some pieces over there and they said what they do they gave TJ what the money yeah I knew they're gonna do that. They got it
I knew they're gonna do that. They got it and
And you mean to tell me y'all not even close to the Steelers level of talent and y'all best player on defense
Y'all don't want to pay him
You should have told him you do something you should you should not have told him that you can we gonna take care of it Because the man went out there led the league inside. Oh Joe. He's all pro. If so, he has an expectation
He like okay y'all go down. say y'all gonna take care of me.
Okay, here it is.
I'm done.
Take care of me.
Well, this is what we could do.
Nah, nah, that ain't taking care of me.
That's taking care of y'all.
Make the money right.
Hey.
I'm being an imposter.
But you're right.
The Bengals just started paying people like
three years ago
when they played Joe Burrow for the longest time.
They got Boomer Sasson out of there
cause they didn't want to pay Boomer.
They don't pay nobody on Joe, you know that.
You know that, first hand.
You been there one decade.
They don't play no one.
They didn't open up the wallet in there.
They didn't start opening that wallet up there.
Joe Burrow and Chase.
They played a couple of them off his line.
They, O'Brown, O'B, they paid him.
But then like I said, they just started that recently.
Bingham's been cheap.
Everybody know the Bingham's cheap.
Show me the money.
Mike Tomlin says he has a bromance with Aaron Rodgers.
Tomlin said, it was kind of a bromance for me.
I was just excited to get to know the guy
on a personal level.
Man, we had some cool, interesting conversations
about football, about life, about where he is in his career
and what he was potentially looking for.
Ocho, how long do you think this romance lasts?
Oh, if the Steelers don't start,
if they don't start winning.
Listen, remember, remember, listen,
winning wins or losses, depending,
regardless of how it goes.
Remember how Aaron Rodder treated Robert Sala?
Yeah.
Remember the interaction on the sideline,
the pushing and the shoving off of-
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One type of recent for the head coach. Now what won't
happen whether they're winning or losing. Now Mike Tomlin ain't
playing that. Oh, no. Oh, that bad. That ain't that ain't
gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. So whether they're
winning or losing, I think the relationship between those two
because there's a certain amount of respect that he has from Mike
Tomlin and what he's been able to accomplish in Pittsburgh, I
think everything would be just fine. Everything would be just fine. All he has to do is listen,
if Russell Woods can do what he did last year and Justin Fields can do what he did last year,
Aaron Rodgers being at the helm, should be able to do just that. Do what they ask of you. Don't
turn the ball over and let the defense win the game for you.
It's simple. Yeah.
Plus he doesn't come in
with what he went into the jets with they got on private jets.
They court a there's like look, this is what we got.
Take it leave it.
You know, Mike Tomlin runs the show. Yeah.
The moment you go get around the Cobb,
the moment you go get Alan Lazard,
you've ceded all control to Aaron Rodgers
because now you've given up control.
You like, okay, I want this, I want that,
I want this, I want that.
The moment a kid starts screaming
and you give him what he wants,
Ocho, you see the control.
Right, right.
But with that- That's not gonna happen
in Pittsburgh.
No, no, absolutely, but you have to understand
that Jets start with that control
and we allowing you to take the keys to the team
and put the pieces around you
They felt that's what you needed to succeed. It just didn't happen the way that they saw
Well, you got to do but what?
I think it would have had he bought all the way in
When tamper turned it over to uh, tom what did tom do he bought all the way in when denver turned it turned it over to paten
He bought all the way in
That's not what erin did was halfway in When Denver turned it over to Payton, he bought all the way in.
That's not what Aaron did. Was halfway in?
Halfway in.
He locked in, not him.
And,
yeah.
Hey, you got some veterans over there.
You got some veterans over there?
That'll get in the Zil, man.
He didn't even, he had that veteran presence
over there in New York, that'd be like, hey, come on.
They would just happen to have it because you think about the
quarterback play that they had before.
Yeah.
And they was like, well, that's Aaron Rogers.
He's going to be better than that.
And so they just see that, you know, everything to it.
Hey, look, that's a very tough division.
That is not an easy division because you got an exemplary
quarterback play at two other spots in Cincinnati and Baltimore.
And you're going to have to be on your best behavior to beat those two teams.
And they just happen to be in your division.
Now you got some other tough games on the schedule also, but like you said,
Ocho, uh,
we about to find out can he summons up the old Aaron Rodgers or he just old Aaron Rodgers yeah just just just a
little bit just a little bit give me give me flashes give me give me three
flashes a quarter who flashes the court hey hey Ocho y'all allow me the right to
be wrong on this but I think it for the Jets, he had to be pretty spectacular for them to win, right?
I think with the Steelers, because their defense is pretty good,
that I don't think it'd be a whole lot of pressure on him.
Plus he got a lot of he got some help offensively to where he'll be a lot better,
I think, for the Steelers than he was for the Jets.
I think the offensive line is better,
but the problem that they ran in, and this is what I said,
and I remember having this conversation, I said,
Ocho, you're saying he just needs to be Aaron Rodgers.
I said, now what happens if that defense isn't what it was
for those other quarterbacks?
Right. Zach Wilson. So let's just say for the sake of argument, that defense slips't what it was for those other quarterbacks. Right.
Zach Wilson.
So let's just say for the sake of argument,
that defense slips a little bit.
Yeah.
And you see, as guys start to get older, Joe,
and I don't know how it is in basketball,
you can speak to this,
but as guys get older at the quarterback position,
they need more help.
Whereas guys, Aaron Rodgers five years ago, six years ago.
Woo.
No problem.
Are you gonna put a sister of the north out there with him?
He would have succeeded.
He could do it.
I seen it.
But as you get older, you need more help.
Allah Tom goes to Tampa, Allah Peyton goes to Denver.
Look at the receiving help that he had.
Look at the running backs, look at the offensive line.
All those things go into play.
I do believe he has a better offensive line
than what he has, okay?
He got DK, they lost Pickens.
They got Calvin Austin III.
So they got some players, so we'll see.
We'll see Warren, the running back. We'll see a Warren the running
back. We'll see how that how that turns out. But I don't think he needs to be 40 touchdown
Aaron. I don't. I don't think they have a 40 touchdown offense. Could be you could be
right. I see that. I see that. Be right. I could be right. I say that. I say that. You could be right. I could be right. I say that respectfully. The Bengals have a 40 touchdown
offense. For sure. Absolutely.
Yes. Yes. Yes. You know why?
Because the defense aren't very
good. So they won't be played.
They're gonna be in some
shootouts.
They're gonna be a shootout.
They don't talk. Come on. That's
the second time you take a shot
of the team now. But they're gonna be. Oh, shootout. They don't talk.
That's the second time you
can shout out the team now but
they're going to be oh y'all
defense are not very good. You
see y'all lost games 4138. Y'all
lost 3835. Y'all lost 3431.
Right. You're right. You're
right. Y'all going to be in
games like that. Listen, this is
a new year though. This is it's a new year. You see, we don't we don't know what's gonna happen. Matter of fact, we got football tomorrow too.
I forgot about that.
Yeah. Oh, this is the last, this is the last weekend
you won't have football until middle of February.
February.
So moving forward, you got preseason and then, you know,
you got college and then you got NFL college,
NFL college, NFL.
And then when the college go and then you have bowl season,
you have playoffs.
So yeah, hey
Is here now?
Is here now?
Devontae Adams clears the air with Jimmy G
During dark time as Raiders teammate. It's amazing. I love Jimmy. He said it was never personal thing
I was hoping we didn't have to have these conversations, but I'm surprised
This is the first time
it's been brought up, but it's been amazing.
We got to catch up on and get on the right page.
Obviously, that was just a dark moment in all of our lives.
I think all of us were pretty miserable over there.
We kind of caught up and laughed about it,
and we've been making plays since we got out here.
So it's been fun.
Either one of you guys ever had an awkward fallout
with a former teammate and had to squash the beef
once you guys became teammates again?
No, I ain't never had no beef with none of my teammates
or none of that, nah.
You had that, Ocho?
Nah, I had it either.
Nah, nah, I was a fun guy, Joe.
I be the same way I am on the store as the same way I, Joe. I mean the same way I am on the show,
and just saying I was in the locker room,
same way I was on the field.
Like there was, I was just fun, man.
I was a fun dude, Joe.
I ain't had no problem with nobody.
I think I got in one scuffle one time,
but with my safety at training camp,
Madhu Williams.
Yeah.
And that was it.
That one time.
I didn't even,
I mean, I left Denver, went to Baltimore,
left Baltimore, went back to Denver.
Now, I've never had an awkward fallout.
We had the squash beef.
I mean. Well, Joe, I had that one fight, Joe. When we played the Ravens, I think I told you,
Joe, I don't think I told you that story. We played the Ravens. We was at B&T, what's
the name of the stadium?
M&T.
Yeah, I was at M&T. You know, towards the end of the game, you know, Joe, I went to
catch a slant. Carson threw me a slant, right?
You know, it was a little high
and I jumped for it anyway, right Joe?
Stay with me now.
And so I seen Ray at the corner of my eye,
I'm a peripheral vision.
I was like, I don't even count
for him to try to go get it anyway.
And I was like, oh, the ball's whacked.
Mistake.
I started to come down and Ray hit me
on the side of my ear hole.
And I'm like, well, wait a minute, that was Ray that just hit me.
We just prayed before the game.
So I know the Lord ain't tell you to hit me like that.
So Joe, I jumped up, right?
And I like went after him.
I was feeling it.
I was going to put your hands on you, right?
But then boom, I think Ed re-grabbed me. So when Ed grabbed me, I was like, nah, you're for the putty hands on you, right? But then boom, I think Ed Reed grabbed me.
So when Ed grabbed me, I was like, nah,
you gonna have to answer for that.
That's what I said in my mind.
So after the game, right Joe?
Boom, I went to the Ravens locker room.
I went looking for Ray.
So I walked in the locker room and security like, hey.
He didn't know where he was.
Yeah, you can't be here.
So I waited in the parking lot,
but then the team bus hit the horn for me to go.
And that kind of like saved me from what we were doing.
But you just wanted to get something straight.
You wasn't really gonna put no powers on.
Yeah, yeah, cause like, like, like Joe,
before every game, I swore for God for a decade straight.
Joe, for a decade straight, we didn't miss one game.
Me and Ray, he gave me a scripture.
We sat on the phone. We read the scripture before we didn't miss one game. Me and Ray, he gave me a scripture, we sat on the phone,
we read the scripture before we went to play the game.
Whether we were playing each other or not,
consistently for a decade straight.
How the hell we just prayed before the game
and you hit me like that?
Yeah, he prayed he was gonna knock your ass out.
Man, Joe, I was, hey, boy, Joe, listen,
boy, it would have took all 12 disciples to get me off of Ray, boy, if I were to quote him after that game. I'm going to kick your **** You don't think logically. So if Ed Reed hadn't held me, I would have turned that 52 upside down,
that bitch with the red 25.
You did the right thing.
Grab your helmet,
cause he knocked your helmet smooth off.
You thought your head was in it.
My helmet was flying, Joe.
Hey, you went and picked your helmet up like, dang.
It all good.
Boy, you something else. Hey,
hey, hey, he a Florida boy too,
huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boy,
right from Lakeland, right up
the street, man. Right, right,
right up the street. Yeah,
y'all know, but that that you
know better. He called me, he called me the same way. He caught me under my chin.
On the deep end, cause yeah.
He got you too.
Got me too.
Hey, hey, hey.
I caught it.
I was trying to break it in.
Hit me right up under my chin.
I say, doop.
Ain't very touching anything compared to him.
He wasn't playing.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, hey, that boy wasn't that nice right there, boy.
Oh, Joe, look at this. at this Ocho look what I got.
That's Pickens?
That's Lil Pickens yeah.
No Pick man.
I knew it was Pick soon as I saw that damn face man.
I said they got to be Pick Hellman.
Carl but nice boy.
Hey man, hey Pick like,
hey nobody want no Bingo's Hellman back in the day. Oh Joe bad pick a pig.
Just say, here man, take this.
I already told you, I already took.
I don't want to take, I don't want to take it.
I thought the bingo shoes have some decent helmets.
Man, ain't nobody want the bingo was terrible.
Yeah. Now here with Jeff Blake.
Ain't nobody throwing deep ball.
Let's just play.
Yeah. Hey, he had a pretty ball boy.
Jeff had that thing. Take it. Hey, just like a pretty ball boy. Jeff had a pretty ball boy.
Just like Aaron Rodgers throw the hell, man.
That's how Blake, that's how Jeff would throw the deep ball.
That thing just like, it just come down
and pick just run right up under it.
Hey him and Darnay boy, they used to,
they were nice boy.
Yeah Ocho, I got me own big,
do y'all still got these helpers like this Ocho? They still like this, right? It's still the same, it's still the same. the the
the
the
the
the
the
the the how they handle their top players contract. We don't drag deals out, we do deals when there's an opportunity to do a deal. Certainly no one knows what's
going on internally with a particular negotiation. Sometimes players and agents
aren't ready to pull the trigger until they see other cards played. What are we
going to do? Go out there and do something that's not responsible in terms
of just name getting done one month earlier. Do it, pay another guy five million of your own cap space,
especially when you're dealing in our particular case.
Internally with guys who are homegrown here,
we feel like they want to be here.
I felt like Dak wanted to be here.
I always felt like CD wanted to be here.
What you think is, Joe, but here's the thing.
You wait until the very last year.
You could have gotten Mike a deal done after year three.
You could have gotten that deal done.
You could have got a CD.
But when you wait until the very last minute,
yes, yes, they're gonna put a tax on you.
It's just that simple.
Because you put them in a situation,
they had to avoid injury for two extra years.
So now I gotta make you pay.
I gotta make you pay, Ocho.
You gotta pay extra.
You gotta pay the toll.
Yeah.
What was that, the troll, how you was under the bridge,
and you wanna come across, you wanna cross the bridge, you gotta pay the toll. Hey, look. You gotta pay the was that the troll how he was under the bridge and you want to come cross you across the bridge
You got to pray to talk you got to pray to troll. Hey look, you got to pay the toll to the jury knows that
You know, that's why I say they gonna pay Michael, but they gonna pay him
It's gonna be right for the season. Yeah, I don't know how this they're gonna pay him more than what they had
Cuz you're first of all
You let you let you let a TJ why you let the other guys reset the market.
Yeah.
It was at 34.
Just last year, the highest paid defensive player
made $34 million.
The highest paid defensive player now makes $41 million.
That's $70 million.
Now plus, he got a hundred and he got a what a hundred and eight guaranteed I
Think what you got got like 123 guaranteed
So what's Michael looking at Michael looking to go 42 with somewhere between 120 and 130 135 guaranteed
He gonna reset it
Yes
Thank you did with that think about it's twice he did this with Dak.
Because you didn't do Dak and you let Carson Wentz
and Jerry Goff and then you think he's gonna give you
the same type of deal.
No, but they signed him two years early.
They signed him two years early with two franchise tags.
Dak said, no, I'm good, cause you gotta break me off all the way off, 40.
And wasn't playing no game.
And yes, you waited again,
and guess what he said, Ocho?
Now I need 60.
All of it, since you wanna-
I need 60.
Yeah, I need 60.
But yeah, we gonna get Micah paid, man.
We got some special things we doing this year
in Dallas, baby.
Don't y'all worry about it.
You ain't got no choice.
You right.
You right.
And you do realize, your left guard Tyler Smith
gonna wanna get paid too.
Trace Smith just got 24, 25 million.
Tyler Smith say, yeah, I'm gonna need that.
I done been to the pro bowl twice, I need that.
If I go to the third time, I'm gonna need that,
cause get at you, get at me. I'll let you boy. I done been to the pro bowl twice. I need that. If I go to the third time, I'm gonna need that, cause get at you, get at me.
I'll let you boy.
Oh, I forgot.
What y'all gonna do with George Pickens?
Oh no, this pick resume, this pick resume, yeah.
It don't gotta be there.
It don't gotta be there.
That's my point.
It has to be there.
So, I mean, you trade, I mean, you probably,
you gave him draft
capital again and you probably
want to keep it but he he he
going to be looking to get he
going to be looking uh you know
you say he won't be won't be
money somewhere. You know 3033
34. So, you're going to have
234. You're going to have a
60 million dollar quarterback 23434 million receivers, Ocho?
If they win.
And a $42 million, and a 42 million.
You got what you got.
The Bengals found a way to do it.
They gonna have to do it too.
But here's the thing.
The Bengals need to make a playoff.
I don't think George Pick is,
I don't think George Pick is gonna go
for what T Higgins is gonna let them go.
That ain't happening, Ocho.
That ain't happen.
And I know my can't do it no deal like that.
Because they know Jay got it.
I'm Jay Kofor and this is back, a limited series show on wire to hunt,

Should you, that's what the real question is.
Stand without good access is not a good stand.

Right. There's rookie Luther Burton III was kicked off the field
and chewed out by Ben Johnson after issues
at the line of scrimmage during team drills.
Burton missed several weeks of practice
with a hamstring injury and Johnson said,
it has hindered his progress learning the system.
It shows up already.
I mean, we were in walkthrough yesterday afternoon
then Mr. Lyman, we have to re-huddle.
We have to start it all over again.
He's a little bit behind right now.
Burton III responded very well to the accountability
that Johnson gave him.
Early in your career,
did you ever have to accept accountability
coming up short in practice or in the game?
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Man, you don't move me.
I'm a wide receiver, Ocho.
They'll move me to tight end.
They tell me to play, Ocho.
I go in motion.
I stop.
Man, what's the play again?

Hey, hey, y'all laughing.

Hey, hey. I guess jogging jog my memory.
That's a look that's like one for getting to play and probably being late to like practice.

You know, offensive player of the game, you know, we a John, we a TD. Most of the time it was TD.
To be quite honest.
But yeah, that's a bad feeling. Because as a matter of fact, I walk in and they get ready to break the team meeting.

Michael Porter Jr. spoke about the next practice facility
saying, I'm just glad y'all got two chords, man.
Wow.
Joe, who you think got some of the worst practice facilities
you've ever played in?
Worst practice facility? Man, I played in some places. I'm going to be honest with y'all.
It's probably here for the Hawks. We practiced in the arena that we played in.
They got new facilities now over here by Emory.
Yeah, but they ain't had that on when I was there. We practiced in the arena that we played in. They got new facilities now over here by Emory. Yeah, but they ain't had that on when I was there.
We practiced in the arena that we played in.
They got a little practice court down there.
That's what we did.
Training camp, that's what we had all our practice every day.
Damn!
It was bad, man.
It was bad.
They got state of the art something out of here now.
It was bad, Ocho.
They do.
It was bad, Ocho.
It was that bad?
Man, we got a little court inside the arena,
and that's what we practice every day
We had training camp every day. It's just
It was tough man, yeah, yeah, that's how the Ravens the Ravens are state of art now
But when I was there that was that was bad, but hey, but these practice
They got out because it used to be the old Baltimore Coast facility. Oh, yeah. Oh
Yeah over here by our over here on Druid Hills.
Yeah, yeah.
But what Michael Porter Jr. talking about,
what they got in Brooklyn?
See, I was there.
I was there when they built that facility.
Oh man, it ain't too many places,
especially in the NBA, they can compete with that.
Like that's state of the art.
Really?
Yeah, it's in Brooklyn, it's a high rise.
So you can kind of, you can see over the whole Brooklyn,
over New York, like it's.
Oh, you see all the hubs.
You see over everything.
You see the sky.
You see the city.
Huh?
It's beautiful, bro.
It's beautiful.
It's two, two huge courts in there.
Yeah.
Hot tubs, cold tubs.
Like they they're looking out for them boys over there.
They they see where Michael Porter Jr. coming from is Denver.
They only got one court.
It's probably a little bigger than what they got over here
in Atlanta, what we had when I was practicing.
So that's probably why he's saying that.
But a lot of y'all surprised
cause stay at Cronkite, you got some bread now.
Yeah, but a lot of these teams
are upgrading their practice facilities, man.
This boy, the Hawks got a special one over here though,
if you ain't never been to it over here, they got got a special one over here though.
If you ain't never been to it over there,
they got a special practice facility over here now.
Next to Emory Hospital.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get jealous every time I go over there.
I used to go over there.
I used to go over there.
Like I said, I drew it here.
I used to go over there and get my knee draped.

Nope.
Yeah, and you know, they done got rid of John Carly.
They done got rid of, ain't nobody here but him now.
Basically, they got Dyson Daniels, they let Capella go.
De'Jonte, they traded De', but they got they got some talent though
They got some talent, but I think we're trailing
They got some talent man. They got some talent to be to be special
Especially in this Eastern Conference this year, so I'm looking forward to that for sure
But yeah, they got a patron
They got a patron?
Draft Kings asked AI to name the US best sports franchises

I need, we need to get on that.
Johnathan Kaminga reportedly prefers to play
for the Sacramento Kings instead of the Golden State Warriors.
Kaminga believes the Warriors have stunted
and strung his career long for four seasons.
Joe, do you agree?
It doesn't seem like he's gonna accept their,
I think, what is it, their offer?
Yeah, talking about the Warriors' offer?
Cause I think-
No, I don't think he gonna accept the Warriors' offer.
I think he's actually ready to move on.
But yeah, I can see him going to Sacramento,
but they would have to do like a sign and trade though,
right?
Correct, correct.
Yeah, I think if the Warriors are looking to improve,
I'm not sure what Sacramento has that they would want,
but they gonna have to trade.
They gonna have to trade Kamingo, man.
They can't go into the season.
Yeah, he done, he fed up, he done.
Yeah, you don't.
I'm not so sure that he trusts them anymore. Right, he done. He fed up. He done. Yeah.
You don't, you don't, you don't.
Cause you don't, I'm not so sure that he trusts them anymore.
Right.
That's what we got.
There you go.
There you go.
So do them.
Why is he limiting himself to one team?
Huh?
Why is he limiting himself to just one team?
Why Sacramento?
Why not anywhere else?
I don't think there's really been a style of play.
Yeah.
But has it, you know, grounds well, cause you know,
go ahead, go ahead Joe.
I don't think it's really been a huge market for him,
Ojo, for whatever reason.
It's, it's, you know, it's been a little weird for him,
but he's definitely a talent who can help a team,
obviously, you know, win a title, compete for one.
The Sacramento thing, I don't know where they came from.
Maybe they got the money to spend,
but I don't think going back to Golden State
is in his near future.
I don't think that's an option for him.
I don't think it's beneficial for him
before the war is in with.
Because, you know, the things that Curr said, you know.
Yeah, I think you've over that situation.
Damn. And I think it kind of happened when they got Jimmy. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That kind of phased him out. Yeah.
Oh Joe, Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey is wearing a $5 bill on his shoulder pads at training camp.
Okay.
Every time I go out there, I'm trying to make some, trying to make some money.
Come on now.
Oh, he got it on the flap.
He got a flap.
Yeah.
He tried to say he tried to make money.
He got it on the pad.
I'm trying to get this bread.
Yeah.
I like that. I like that. Whatever you, whatever you got to do, whatever you got it on his pants. I'm trying to get this bread. Yeah, I like that.
I like that.
Whatever you got to do.
Whatever you got to do to motivate yourself.
Whatever you got to do to stay locked in.
Right.
I like it.
I like, I saw it.
This the second time he got traded
because he came from the Rams.
He spent two years in Miami and now he's a,
well, damn.
Cause he started in Jacksonville.
Yeah.
Did a couple of years in Jacksonville. Went to the Rams. Good at defense in Jacksonville. Yeah
Good at defense in Jacksonville boy. Yeah
Uh-huh, he just signed one this summer. Yeah, they just they just extended him all last year
It wasn't nothing wrong with why I understand why they did
Know he's saying he had when he trying to make money when he out there,
that's what he's trying to say,
he trying to make money while he out there.
Okay, all right.
Yeah.
All right.
That's something you would have done, Ocho,
when you were playing?
Oh, nah, nah, I ain't putting out no $5,
I would have had a dollar on there, not no five.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, you saw where I tried to bribe that referee.
You noticed I tried to bribe him with a dollar bill, right?
Anything more than that?
Oh, did they fine you for that?
They didn't have me.
Yeah, they fined me a little 20,000.
It's cool.
It was worth it.
Iconic moment.
NFL can't take a joke.
No.
I said they should have slapped him.
I told them they should have slapped them with a bottle.
Oh yeah.
Hey.
What'd I say?
I said, I think I'm about to say a hundred thousand,
two hundred thousand.
Hey, hey, Unc went off, Unc went off on me when he was on,
he was on Fox, huh?
I was on CBS.
Yeah, it was so funny, boy.
Hey, Joe, boy, Unc went off where, it was funny.
When I saw it, I just laugh, I just laugh.
I said, you know what?
I'm gonna make sure I do something else
the following week, too.
Oh yeah, you kept some shenanigans.
I mean, I like all the dances.
I like all the others, the river dance,
and I like the sombrero.
Yeah.
He stayed on some bull jive, Joe.
Ken Ward told the athletic there's a target on his back.
I don't think I'm being welcomed in the league
with open arms.
I was the first pick.
I'm blessed to be on that.
But at the end of the day, there's a target on my back.
There's a target on everyone's back in the league,
but I'm trying to prove myself to my teammate.
Yep, you're absolutely right.
They want to see why you the first pick.
Just like we go out there to DB that was the first round pick
or he won the Thorpe award and he won the Buccos
or he whatever he won.
I need to see why you won that award bro.
Absolutely.
Oh yeah, they gonna try you now.
Yeah, there's no target.
For one, obviously when you think about first round picks,
he might be the first, this might be the first time
in the history of the NFL,
the first round pick slipped up under the radar.
Yeah.
All attention is going to the fifth round pick.
If you think about it,
you have slipped right up under the radar
as far as media coverage and all the hoopla
that has always surrounded the first pick of the draft.
Yeah, because of the Shadour effect.
So I'm looking forward to what Kam Ward does this season.
You're gonna be fine,
cause you got some pieces of where to work with too.
You got some pieces to work with.
Joe, that's the same thing with Bronnie James.
We ain't talking about not one first round draft pick.
All they talked about in the 55, Bronnie James.
And you know, Kam Ward, that market he's in,
that ain't a huge market, you know what I mean?
No.
Yeah, so that's another reason why he's got that.
Neither's Cleveland.
Right, right.
The name.
Yeah.
Sanders, James.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, they talk more about the 55th pick in the draft
than they did the top two pick.
And I think the Wizards got one and the Hawks got the other.
Yeah, man.
But nah, Cam, you ain't got no target on your back, bro.
That's everybody that come in.
Everybody that's a first round draft pick.
You a first round draft pick.
People need to see,
and you the number one overall draft pick.
But they gonna check your ID.
Every game you go in, they check your ID.
Make sure you old enough to be in the club.
Every time.
They gonna make sure you old enough to be in the club.
Yes sir.
49ers veteran left tackle, Trent showed frustration
during practice because Nick Bosa kept beating him.
Nick Bosa's beating him. Nick Bosa's
beating Trent a lot of the time. Trent yesterday had a big reaction to a move of the ball period
that was dominated by Nick Bosa. The offense was stopped by Nick Bosa. Trent came off the field
exacerbated like he banged his thighs. Just felt, was frustrated. I think that's great for the team.
I think that's going to push Trent to get better and be better through our training camp.
And he's gonna be Trent Williams
by the time September rolls around.
I hate to use iron sharp and irons,
but it's definitely what's happening in camp.
Williams is 37 and recently said
that he wants to play until he's 40s.
Boy, that's tough football.
I know.
Listen, if you're gonna be in camp consistently,
especially by somebody that's gonna frustrate you,
well, who better than Nick Bosa
to get yourself where you gotta get to?
Because you're not gonna be facing Nick Bosa's-
16 Nick Bosa's?
Nah, absolutely not.
Excuse me, 17, now, oh, they got 17, gang.
There ain't gonna be 17 Nick Bosa's.
Hey, but you got one over there, Jared Burr.
He ain't no easy victory. Yeah, right
He's a little undersized to we love the side a little quicker. Yeah, but hey, don't let that undersized fool you
Yeah. Oh, yeah, you can go now
go
and I think
The Cardinals got one of the Eagles defensive lineman Oh one number seven last year
Right now not ready Cardinals got one of the Eagles defensive lineman. Oh, one of number seven last year, right? Nah, not Reddick.
Nah, not Reddick.
He was a single digit though.
He was a single digit if I'm not mistaken.
You think so?
Who was it?
Ash, who was that D lineman that went to... I'm not sure. Uh who's the uh
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was a the MVP. Yeah. Yeah. So they got a they got some guys that can get off the rock on you now.
Yeah. But you know Trent coming to a Trent coming out. I think Trent was Nick last year. He came.
He's coming off an injury. Yeah. He had a few injuries. He was out along with McCaffrey was out.
They had a couple of guys. They had a couple of guys out. They lost the uh uh the wide receiver.
They had a couple of guys out. They lost the wide receiver.
Are you?
Are you Brett?
Yep.
Had a couple of DBs, Hufanga.
And look, it's not gonna be as easy to pour down a thing
cause they lost a lot of guys.
Drake Greenlaw was late coming back.
He's gone now.
The DB, he ended up going to the Colts.
Ooh.
Not Ward.
Yeah.
Wait. Yup.
The Davias Ward left?
Yup.
Yup.
He was nice.
That's why Andy paid him.
He was nice.
All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening.
It's time for Q and A.
Zeus, the bully said,
Ocho, you make no sense.
Jerry golf rating higher than Jaylen Hertz.
Santa's 67, wasn't he the best QB in college?
Voted by his peers, crazy work.
You heard what he just asked me, right?
What'd he ask you?
Rating is based on statistics.
Does he know that?
So he just compared comparing Jared Goff,
that and Jaylen Hertz.
Like, what do we talk about?
So you say you got a Jared Goff rating higher
than Jaylen Hertz. And I have a question for you. What did Goff rating higher than Jalen Hurts.
And I have a question for you.
What did Goff throw for last year?
He threw for over 4,000 yards.
Okay, what did Jalen Hurts throw for last year?
Not over 4,000.
Okay, there's the answer.
You don't get ratings based off accolades.
And we know we run the Super Bowl. The rating is based off the, oh my God. You know what, don't get ratings based off accolades. And we know we run the Super Bowl.
The rating is based off the, oh my God.
You know what, don't worry about it.
Do Logante, I've been playing Madden
