That button right here. Come for the sports. Stay for the story. The Falcons stunned the Packers. We probably should have known something considering they had to go to overtime to beat the Jets and we don't think the Jets are very good. That's what the Packers had to do on Sunday. And, but you know what?

The Falcons came in and took care of business. Michael Pennix Jr. gets the Falcons in the win column. Thanks to an outstanding effort. He didn't start the game off. but after that interception, who, boy, did he light it up? 18 or 256, 1 touchdowns. Guys, what do you think?

What do you like about what you saw for Michael Pennix Jr.? It seemed like they got a reprieve. They had it with 30 long. The Packers, defender hit him up around the neck. They throw the penalty. Next play, Bejohn gets out the door. And from that point on, the Falcons never looked back.

But what did you like about what you saw for Michael Pennix Jr. Ocho, you first. Turn your mic on. You muted. You muted. But yeah, I thought the Falcons, that reprieve really helped. I'm good? Yep.

Yeah. Yeah. It started off bad. He was very shaky. I thought he was a little uncomfortable. Some of the throws were high. The throws were really off. And obviously, I think it was the second or third down where they got the rough in the

past, a quarterback call. Yep. That's when everything changed. That momentum shifts a little bit. And once B. John Robinson got going. they were not able to stop him. He's very, very good. He's one of the few running backs in the league

that can make something out of nothing, even when he stopped, even when you think he got him, he's coming out, he's coming out of the back door and making something happen. Joe, what do you like about what you saw from Michael Penix Jr. tonight? Man, I obviously he got off to such a slow start.

Okay, Ocho, but, man, once he found rhythm, and you see once that run game gets going, It starts to compliment the passing game. Hey, man, I'm happy for Drake London, bro. Yes. You know, when you come into the season, Anka-Ocho, and you sign for big money like that, bro, you want to put on a performance, man.

I'm sure he's been waiting for opportunities like this. So it's good to see Pinnock's back in the lineup, Arcan Ocho playing at a high level. They just needed a win, bro. Yes. They needed a piece at the quarterback position who can move the change, who can move the ball forward. He's done a hell of a job with that tonight, bro.

Outside of that pick, Ocho, he looked great. I thought they looked complete as a team. I thought their front four defensively, well, them boys, hey, them boys ain't playing, man. That front four on their defensive side, I thought they kept him in the game. Yeah. I thought the Pennix, he played well.

And once you got the running game going, now I can play action off of that. Look how many times they play action, and you see Drake London sitting in holes, and you see the other wide receiver, sitting in holes were able to find something. Wide open touchdown to Austin Hooper

in the end zone. They had the two-point conversion because they can run the football. Yeah. Now, because now I've got to drop that safety down. And they're taking bad angles. Oh, man, he made a,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, bejean, man, he shook, uh, what you call him, Zaire Franklin in the hole. Yeah, and a hole. Had him dead and right. Yeah.

But no, when you can run the ball. Like you said, you almost had a 200-yard rush and a 200-yard receiver. You don't find that very often in the NFL. And normally when you have that in the game, you're probably going to win the game because you're going to control tempo. You're going to control pace.

Time of possession is going to be on your side. We're going to see as I pull up the team stats, what the time of possession, the TOP, 3705 to 2255. So 37 minutes to 23 minutes. When you dominate the time of possession like that, you're going to dominate the game.

Yeah. Bejohn is Bejohn. Drake London, we know what Drake London can do. If they're going to get consistent quarterback play like this here from Pinnix, okay, the Falcons might be in business. The question is, do we believe they're going to get consistent quarterback play? I don't think they're going to go in it back out, you know, Tua is healthy. He's coming back in there.

I think they're going to ride Pinnis as far as they can take him. As long as that knee can hold up, I think you've got to stick with him. You've got to find out if he's your guy. Because the last thing you want to do, have some uncertainty. And guess what? In the draft, this draft is supposed to be heavy with quarterbacks. Dante Moore and Trinidad Chamblez. And you got Arch Manning.

You got a couple of other guys that's going to be potential first round picks. The last thing I need to do is be uncertain at that position with all these quarterbacks coming out and then make a decision and I go take another quarterback. So I think they're going to ride, I think they're going to ride Pennix for a minute. Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think, I think, I think they're going to ride them too, Uncle Ocho, pause.

Uh, I think if that offense, Uncle Ocho can stay high power like that and keep the other team's offense off the field, it's going to be hard for teams to catch rhythm, especially high power teams offensively. You know it. If you can, if you can, if you can, uh, contain the ball more than another team,

hey, bro, you keep their offense off the field. You, you, it keeps them out of rhythm. And I thought this kind of way, happening the night too. I think also, you know, I want to say Bijan Robinson is a huge safety net regards to who's playing quarterback. Whether it's Tua or whether it's Pinnock Jr.,

if he can do what he wants to do and they can stack the box, put 10 in the box to try and stop him, and he still be able to make something happen when they do that. It really doesn't matter who's playing quarterback. Yeah, it does. You saw Bejohn Robinson do that? Again, with Cooper Rush back there, how'd he look?

Sometimes, don't you? You know, we see this. With Barry Sanders go, no, but sometimes, man, the quarterback can be so bad, that running back is not going to do that because I'm not going to let you do it. And plus, when you throw an interception, return for a touchdown,

throw another interception, you fumble the football, and then the backup comes in there. He throws a pick six. It's hard to overcome that. Now, your own offense can't get a rhythm. Joe, you talk about getting a rhythm and keeping everybody else off rhythm from the opposing team.

But hell, I can't get a rhythm. Because guess what? My quarterback turning the ball over, he's keeping me on the sideline. Hell, I can't catch a rhythm either. Right. On the flip side. I don't know what's going on with Jordan Love's arm.

Oh, Cho, did you see all those float passes? He throwing out of balls? Hey, a lot of balls, they sailed. A lot of balls sailed on him. I'm not sure. why. I'm not sure what the issue is. I don't know if he's injured or something's going on. But a quarterback of his caliber,

he missed some throws that are routine. Yeah. Routine throws for a tier one quarterback like him it was rough. It was rough tonight. Matt LaFlewood. You scored a touchdown. You remind me of Sean Payton called that bulljave in the championship game. You scored a touchdown on the half roll. Guess what you come back and run on fourth down? The same exact plate.

And guess what they was waiting on? That bogey play? Quarterbacks. Obviously, we're talking about the Packers game, but quarterback. If it's on fourth down, give your guy a chance to make a play. Don't just throw the ball out of damn bounds. If he intercepted, it's intercepted. At least give your guy an opportunity to make a play on the ball.

Ocho, far too many times. Guys are just heave the ball out of the end zone because they don't want that I-N-T. or, bro, it's fourth down. If you don't get it, it's going to change possession anyway. Don't nobody care how it changed possession, that it did change possessions. I don't get that with guys. Guys get so caught up in numbers and, and I get it. I get it to a certain degree.

But you're in love, bro. You're under contract for another four, five years. What are you worried about if you throw an interception? It's just some of the things that guys, it just, it just irks me when I see guys do it because I wonder what's going on in the head. Like it's on fourth down, Ocho, we're on the goal line. Right. And the guy throw the ball at the back of the damn end zone.

What? So what, you don't get no points for that? No. Give the guy an opportunity to make a damn plea on the ball. But I thought Joe and look bad. Look, people going to look at his stats, Ocho and talk about, man, 312. He had two receivers there, but one receiver had 100. The other had like 96, 97.

Right. He was bad. He was bad. He had Golden Tate on the gold ball. Golden Tate, Golden Tate, I forget to go, Golden, last name,

Golden, not Golden, Matthew, Matthew. Matthew. Matthew Golden. He got to get, he thought of all over there. Yeah, yeah. It was a rough night.

And the touchdown, Ocho, you see how, if that's A.J. Terrell, he's picking that. Yeah. Because Golden had it reached back like this here and catch it.

Yeah. Well, he looked, look. And that's not, look. I'm going to give the Falcons defense credit, But some of those throws that he was throwing to the sideline, he's throwing the outball. And Watson has to reach back.

And Henderson is coming through and raking the ball. Yeah, you leaving it inside. You got to throw the outball out ball like here. Hey, he's lucky. He ain't go the other way. He's very lucky. And then he gets what? He comes back and throwing the other side.

He's late again. The out ball, you can't be late on outballs. Got to be early. When that third foot hit in that drop, That ball got to be coming out. It's got to be gone. It's got to be gone. And you want him to catch the ball out here like this, Ocho.

So if he needs to dip his shoulder, he can get a first down. But if you throw him behind it, it's either going to get raped or it's getting picked. Yeah. But I thought I thought Jordan Love played bad tonight. I thought he played bad tonight. Michael Pennock Jr. played unbelievable. And I want to give the Falcons. But some of the throws were not caused by the Falcons defenders.

Some of that was just on him. And maybe he's seeing things in his. head because I thought they got after them pretty good. Packers' offensive line, you got to be able to do one. You got to be able to run block good or pass block. You can't be crap at both. At both of them?

They're terrible. How many rush yards did they have? Hold on. They had 17 yards rushing. What am I supposed to do with 17 yards? They had nine rushing attempts. What am I supposed to do with that? You're talking about for Green Bay.

Huh? You say something, Joe? Man, my internet tripping, though. I ain't on. Am I glitching, bro? It seemed like I'm tripping over here. Damn. Man, I thought it was that, you know, I thought it was that,

that, that, that's, that's, that's, that rough the party of you. No, man, I can't, damn, I can't even say nothing, man. Yeah, I'll find, I'll say something about the run game. Y'all think the lack of, you know, the, uh, uh, uh, uh, run game is why joy and love struggling, bro. When you know what, though, but I look at it like this here,

Ocho, and let me know what you all, let me know what y'all think, guys. When you pay in a quarterback 50, 60, 55, 55, 56, 50s, when you pay these top tier quarterback, let's just say the top 12 to 15 quarterbacks. When the running game's struggling,

they're supposed to be able to put your team on their shoulders and carry you. That's why you repay you the big bucks. What do you think we pay? I ain't pay, man, you think I'm paying you that kind. If Bejohn Robinson, you're running back,

I don't know if I can get you. I can't get you $60 million. You got to be, you got to be, I understand. Every time the running game is not going to be up here. But when the running game is struggling, one of the other things, like if my passing game is struggling, I need to be able to give the Bishon and Bijon do what he does. Jamir Giles do what he does.

But if I'm struggling in the running game, bro, I need Joe and love to do better than this. I ain't, them empty calories. That ain't nothing about a bunch of whole, holes and ding don'ts and cupcakes. Those are empty calories. Joe, they have, that 328 that he had tonight has

absolutely no nutritional value. Yeah. Maybe it works for your fantasy. Who've ever got Jordan Love, congratulations. But those are empty, empty calorie stats, what he put up to there. Because when the game mattered, he did squat. He did a big squad douche.

Yeah. Hey, A, Uncle, and Joe, it's the way we view him. We view him as one of those 55, 60 million dollar quarterbacks. Absolutely. He's paid to do that. If the running game isn't working, we need you to be able to throw us to a victory. We need you to be able to throw consistently.

Some of those throws at night, Uncle Joe, all the top tier one quarterbacks, they make some of those throws. Absolutely. They give their players a chance to make a play on the ball. Something has to be wrong. I don't know if Joe in Love is hurt or not, but I guarantee you something is going on because I've never seen, we see everybody misses throw. Everybody misses throws, but not as consistently as he missed him tonight in this game.

It didn't make any sense. Yeah. Bejohn had a buck 94, Brian Robinson, Jr. Damn, they might be cousins or something. Bejohn Robinson, Brian Robinson, Jr. He had 50 yards, he had 50 yards of a touchdown. Drake London said, hey, I told y'all, y'all got people out here thinking they're trying to get rid of me in fantasy. Y'all got people thinking, I'm some sauce.

Because I just got this big contract and not, y'all see, y'all give me this rock. I can do what I do. I just need somebody to get me to rock. I ain't never had a problem getting open. I'm glad they got it to him too because if you watch it in his body language

when it was coming to this line. You saw him early, you saw him earlier. Hey, they put that camera on him. I know that look. Hey, I know that look. Hey, he would finish. I don't think he would probably snap, but you could just tell

he was getting frustrated. He would get close. Yeah, he was getting frustrated. So tell me, do y'all think that, you know, Pinnix, you know, he can unlock the Falcons, Arcan Ocho, or is it simply going to take a heroic effort from Bejohn Robinson, night in and night out, put him to be able to compete. I mean, hell, they got a win. At the end of the day, a win is a win.

I'm sure a lot of these Falcon fans, they have it. You're on the winning side. So there is hope. There is some promise. Let's hope Pennix can keep this up. bro because, hey man, this city's starving for a pretty good team. Well, that's why I pay, that's why I pay Bejohn the Big Bugs because he's a guy that can carry me.

He can beat my bell cow because I can hand it to him, I can throw it to him. I can do a lot of different things and he can make people miss. He's one of the few guys that can make something out of nothing. They're not a whole lot of guys that can, you know, turn a two-yard loss into a 10-yard game. He can take a two-yard loss and turn into a 50-yard spectacular. He has that accountability. His ability to start and stop And look at it with you.

He had the ball here. He goes all the way on. He goes all the middle of the field. And don't lose no momentum. At all. Normally, guys are Ocho, you got to break down to do all that. He's running, stop it. No.

And guys just and take off again. He backed the full speed again. Yeah. And not only is he good, Uncle Joe, it being able to make people miss in small areas, he's really good to setting up his blocks too. He's really good at setting up his box, holding that line just enough, just so there's enough contact and bounce it off of that.

He reads the defense, he read the defender, excuse me, really, really well and plays off his blocks. And once he hits that cut, man, he's nice with it, very nice with it. Yeah. He's patient. He's fast, but he's never in a hurry. Right. But look at that long run that he had.

He got it. He got to the sideline. And now all of a sudden they handed to him. He's on the right side. They got him dead to right. Well, they thought they had him dead to right. He's one of the few guys. There's not a whole lot of guys in the league that's getting out of that what they're right there.

What he got out of him? Yeah. Yeah. Now, he's special now. Man. He's special. Yeah, if he can keep this up. I'm not worried about him.

I'm worried about can they keep this. Can Pinnix keep this up? The offensive line, I thought the offensive line did a good job of protecting Pinnix. Yeah. He just, I mean, he's staring the guy down.

Bro, you can't stare the guy down in the middle of the field. That's going to be a pick. The same thing, Jordan loved it at the end of the game. You see that guy picked it? I'm going to the house on that one. I ain't going to lie to you, Ocho.

They don't knock the quarterback ass on the ground. Ain't nothing but green guys, Ocho. I'll say, coach, I'm sorry. I may have to hold it like this here. But I'm going to the off. Hold on. That's a touchdown. That's disrespectful.

That's disrespectful. They're still throwing it. Yeah. That way I'm saying? Yeah, I'm going to the house. It's like, y'all, it's like team. Y'all get mad at me. Okay, team keep trying to score.

Y'all keep trying to score. Now all of a sudden, y'all miss a shot. I go down there and dunk it. Now y'all are mad. Don't do that. Hey, that's some boot. No, you all, you're trying to score. Yeah.

I just returned to favor. I thought that's what we doing. I thought that was basketball. You score, I score. Yeah. I ain't know it was just you score, you score, you score. I want you to know like I won't I was on that one Joe

Yeah They'd be ready to fight out to that Don't worry about it They'd be ready to fight In the end zone That's what I'm gonna be at Joe I won't be hard to fight

I'll be in the end zone Do it all As a matter of fact I might I might Lambo leap Yeah I'm an Atlanta I'm an Atlanta plunge

Hey Hey y'all think Y'all think Y'all might be jumping A little bit too But Stifansky Making a decision Of who the starting

quarterback Oh, Pinnock is the guy. I'm just, you don't think we're overreacting a little bit just because it's one game. Mind you, they were owing two. They were on two. And guess what, Ocho? They didn't look like this. They didn't score Twitter.

Think about it. They just scored three points on Sunday. Yeah. And remember how they look to Pittsburgh? The music you love. Your favorite radio stations. Everywhere you go. The podcasts, everyone's talking about.

Yeah, they only score 13. Before that. Why? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you over to bumping your guns, Ocho? The Steelers beat the kids. the Bengals, 30 to 27. Ocho, you another one?

Can't say foot or ball. Steelers' defensive end, Derek Harmon, forced the game-sealing strip sack fumble on Joe Burrow to win the game. Here's Burrow after the game. And they try to cheat, too. Who that, who that, Joe? The Bengals, they tried to cheat. Why have we tried to cheat?

Because Warren, Warren broke their damn 8 to 7 yard, they called that damn holding, play. It was holding Joe. Man, that man won't no hold, man, D.K. Warned that man, Ocho. How you think he even broke, he even got that far? He didn't even see. It was holing.

This, holding. Their roles, got to take ownership of themselves. You guys got to take ownership of their roles. Got to take ownership of themselves. And, you know, just be smart situation of football players. What happened? Did I miss something, Joe, Ocho? Hey, he said, be smart, situational football players. And he understands that.

I wish he would have addressed the mistake at the end of the game. Yes. To say, obviously, that is one of the reasons why when we had the opportunity to have points. I think we, wait, hold on. It's one of those plays when in field go reins. With field go reins, actually tied the game, if I'm not mistaken. You know? Yeah.

And the fumble that play and lose it. It's happened countless time before. It's not the first time. Yeah. It's not the first time. So I'm not sure who is addressing, you know, directly. Again, most of the time when Joe Burrough speaks, he speaks in cryptic format. So you have to piece together, you know, what he's trying to say, listen, we let a game get away from us.

I know we have a lot of Steelers fans that are probably in the chat. Steeler fans, I salute you all. I enjoy the back and forth, the banter today, the talking trash. You know what? I love it. Outside of that, the game is over. until we meet again. So now I love y'all.

I love y'all for now until we meet again. So congrats on that win. If that worm, if that worm didn't stick his hand up there and tripped Jay LeWarn, he should have scored a touchdown. Oh, my God. He got walked down on the 87 yarder, and then he fumble. He would clear. What was nobody doing?

And he just, he just stumbled. He relaxed. He relaxed. He's seen it clear in front of him. He relaxed, and I think he lost his feet. foot and Joe got blow you blowed on that long run when dude walked him down oh he got blown oh yeah oh yeah that monkey jumped on his back waited his ass down I'm saying real talk y'all think that was holding on dk I thought him and him and old boy were locked up but I ain't think

it was like come on man how was he gonna get to that damn tapper hey Joe he would have got there if he wouldn't be in hell Joe he wasn't going to get there dk just thrown here dick dick just manhand and had them clams on him yeah like I put them hands on ocho when that Like, you know what I'm saying? Like when you check all the change out of the pocket, Joe. See what I mean? See what I mean? I thought it was on the same page.

Now here you go to about putting your hands on me. See, I told you. Huh? Hey, I can't trust nobody on the show. My bad. Oh, Joe. My bad. I got a little too much.

It's cool. It's cool. My bad. I said my bad. You're showing your true color, Joe. I said my bad. I got a little too caught up. You know what I mean?

Just cheer. Yeah. Okay. But listen, Joe, listen. The Steelers won the game today, you know. Joe Burrow had a good game. You were 28, 28 for 30, what, 37, three T-Ds. Damn, man, we ran the ball okay.

Chase Brown had 61. Uno had nine for 98. T. Higgins had a crazy catch. Hey, Joe, sitting on the ground with that thing, boy. Yeah, I see it. It was nice. On the ground by that thing. It was night.

Gisiki caught a nice touchdown. Oh, yeah, yeah, that was dope. Hey, Darnell Washington. Y'all didn't want to tackle him, Ocho. On that little outright that he caught, y'all didn't want to tackle that. It went up the sideline. Hey, down there, Washington. Hey, stop doing my players like that, man.

Every year, man, you keep doing this every time we play y'all, man. You know, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all don't have some sportsmanship. Hey, Ocho, y'all got to get Aaron Rogers' credit now because he was willing to deal in that first half. He was moving good in that pocket today. Yep. I don't know what last week was about. But this week, that boy wasn't playing Uncle Ocho. He was getting that ball out of there.

Hey, he were cursing his players out. You saw that clip? Yeah. Hey, he's like, man, this sorry sucker can't catch or something like that. But it was funny, boy. He was frustrated. Wilson needed to get some stick him on his gloves or something. Oh, that's who that was.

That dropped that ball? 14. Hey, he was hot, boy. The only thing is, I will say this. Don't talk about know your assignments. Joe, you had an opportunity to potentially win the game or send the game to overtime. The ball was in your hand.

You got script sacked. This is not the first time that this has happened. I don't like the throwing of the blame talking about no the assignment. Did you know your assignment that you need to hold on to the ball? Don't do that. Don't do that. What we do is that we hold ourselves accountable.

And in that situation, ain't nobody here what you're saying about know your assignment. Everybody got to do X, Y, and Z. All they hear, people hear, is that you're trying to throw blame on somebody else to why you lost. And they saw at the end of the ball game, as Ocho said, you was a potentially field goal range, or you could have went down to score because there are 44 seconds on the clock. Yeah.

You had more than enough time to get that ball into the end zone or kick a game time field goal. You got sack. You lost the ball. They got it back. Hey, matter of fact, I don't hear nothing else. Hey, what about what that strip said? You know what? He wouldn't do that, though.

What's that? out his lineman. So I'm not sure who he's addressing. I think he's like kind of scrambled outside the pocket. To the left. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, you can feel that pressure. Once you feel that pressure, they get you off your spot. I mean, you get antsy with that ball. Yeah. That's the, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, it's, it's, it's easy to say this or that.

But ain't nobody, don't nobody, don't nobody know who you're talking to. All they know is that the last time the Bengals had the ball, the ball was in Joe Burrow hands. That's where we wanted. And somehow the Steelers ended up with him. So either he threw a pick or he fumbled, which in either case, he has to do a better job. Sax is going to happen,

but you've got to do a better job of protecting the football. Same thing with a runner. You got to protect the football. And he did not do a good enough job of protecting the football in that situation. You're right, Ocho. 2837, 283, three touchdowns, got marred one play.

One play changed the whole completion of the game. He did a great job holding him to the ball all day long, but when they really needed him, like I said, it doesn't matter how great your offense is. Can you go down there and get the game time field goal, the game winning field goal, or the game winning touchdown? That's how you measure offense.

Defensively, can you stop? You saw the Broncos come up with a big time stop when they absolutely. they had to have it. What good is all the, all the sacks they got, and all the pants or tan and a fanger and all those guys up front if you can't get no stop?

Yeah, you're right. You're right. Rogers. Rogers tied Ben Rothersburgers for the fifth most quarterback wins in history. Jalen Warren was told it he had 127 yards. I'm just trying to figure out how to make,

Joe, I just see, what did he see, Ocho? He just stumbled. That man posed to head. at least 180 yards. Maybe 200. Yeah, maybe 200. You're right, huh? I don't know what.

I'm telling you, I think he relaxed because he's seen it when nobody in front of him, and he felt, man, I'm just going to walk this thing in and trip. Oh, my God. Either them spaghetti legs or seeing all that space and your mind going faster than your legs going and you lose yourself a little bit, that's the only thing I could think of. Well, Ocho, he had just made that 87-yard run, too, and they called it back.

Oh, his lady was gone, boy. Yeah, it probably played a huge part in why he tripped. Like, I was like, damn. And then came, and guess what? It came right back and got another long run, Ocho. Yeah. And Joe, you told me your defense was like that. And they're giving up 80-yard runs, and then turn around and give up a 50-yard

or back-to-back. Hold on, hold on. Time-out, time out, time-out. Okay, I'm listening. Our defense is like that. I couldn't tell you. Hold on. Right now, statistically, I mean, we still ranked at the top of the league right now defensively.

You hear me? It don't matter. Y'all gave a 30 points to, we was talking about last week how old and how bad Aaron Rogers looked. How did he look today against that vaunted defense? What have we always seen from Aaron Rogers? We've seen him have bad games, and then we've seen him show flashes of his old self. As long as he showed that flashes against y'all, I'm good. Huh?

As long as he showed the flashes against y'all. Hey, don't worry about it. Hey, this is going to be short-lived because we're two-in-one just like your Broncos. Huh? Hey, what's your Ravens record? Two-in-one.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm just saying, we all in the same boat. No, we're not in the same boat, are we, Joe? Hey, give me how to that, bro. Joe-boat got a hole in it. That made you know, why you had to bring me in this? Hey, Joe, you see, I ain't even say nothing, Joe.

He's trying to get me to jump on top of your head, Joe. Damn. But, hey, oh, Joe, he the man just talking about he's gonna put hands on you. Now you side with it? He did just say that, huh? Yeah. When I put these hands on,

Ocho, I'm like, well, damn. Ocho, don't let that man come in between us, bro. No, Joe, no, Joe, you're talking about you want to put hands on me. Joe, you're right. Ocho. You and them cow girls. Ocho, I said some things out of anger, Ocho. I said some things out of anger.

I ain't mean. Ain't nothing to be angry about it. I ain't mean it. Well, just chill out. This is what, Ock won't. He won't me and you feud against each other, bro. Whoa. Yeah.

Get brought into this. Come. Uck team win, y'all lose. Now, U-UKK. See what I'm saying? Now, we got to hit this all damn night. Come on, man. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Chat. You all see how they bring me into stuff? Y'all see how they bring me into stuff?

I was getting ready to move on. Joe switched up on it. Ocho jump on me. I just reminded Ocho, Ocho. You switched it up on me. Joe, the one that just said, five minutes ago, he's going to put hands on you. Remind me how I put hands on Ocho. Hey, hey, he said he was angry.

He's saying we're angry. You know, we got to get him a little anger management classes. Hey, let's that go. Name the people that have tell you the truth. Drunk, kids, and angry people. Those are the ones that generally tell the truth. So he probably do mean that, didn't huh? Yeah.

Absolutely. He meant it. Hey, I got to watch my six. I got to watch my six, though. I got to watch my six. As you just watch, my Broncos, I'm 2 and O on the evening, 2 and O. My Broncos, what a comeback. The Rams came out hot.

16-0 leave, but in the second half, the Broncos had to get the ball scored A both times, went for two, got it, 16 points to tie it up, and then in the fourth quarter, Bo Nix did what he does. I know everybody's going to be talking about it looked like the Rams player intercepted the ball, Ocho. It was. Is that a no-call? Is that a P.I? Is it an interception? What should the call have been? They ain't cheating.

Listen, I'm a receiver, huh? I'm a receiver. And even I know, that's not pass interference. Now, I can see if the DB was able to interfere with the player and impede what he's trying to do, but he didn't. Feeling to have a hand on somebody is not pass interference. That was a great play by the DB. There's another call also in the Ravens game that was called

that shouldn't have been a pass interference as well on Brother Wiggins. If I'm not, was it Wiggins? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he had him arm, I had him hook.

Man, I'm not sure. I don't know what the referee is looking at. man, I'm not sure what they do when they're in their meetings. But, man, those are some bad calls. Those are the two bad calls. They was bad, Ocho. That was bad. That was a pick.

If it was pass interference, it was offensive pass interference because he kind of grabbed the DB a little bit. The D.B. Yeah. Like, how do, I'm like, I'm sitting there watching on the couch, Ocho. How come they can't see that from a replay? Well, I mean, I didn't see no PI, bro. I think the thing is, the receiver did a great job of selling it

Because as he was jerking, the guy with one hand, he was flailing with the other. In the NBA, they said they find guys for flopping. That was a damn flop. They don't find guys in the NFL, Joe. And it's the bad thing. This is the bad thing about that call, right? That could have changed the way the game was going in general, because that should have Rams ball.

The fact that we have instant replay and the refs and no call came from New York or wherever they watched the replay from and say that was the interception and there wasn't pass interference, he says a lot about the game. Well, you remember, they tried that. They tried to replay and go back and replay, review, pass interference call.

It didn't really go over well. They really didn't change a whole lot of calls, so they kind of did away with it. I thought the receiver did a great job of selling it. He made it seem like he was being held when actually he was holding, and he had an good spot because the back job couldn't see it.

The back judge can't see because he had his hand here. His back was to him. and he flails with the left arm. And it's like, oh, yeah, he got it. He had to do something. And I didn't think, look, it was a bulljive call. I tweeted. It was a bulljive call, but I take it because I needed, you know,

I needed sweepstakes. Yeah. I needed both my teams to win. And I needed my teams to win in dramatic fashion because it hurts more when they, if we didn't go out as the Broncos to won by 20 points, that wouldn't have hurt as bad. Right, right. I mean, it's the mere fact of how we won both games and how your teams lost.

Oh, Joe, I told you, Joe, world did what again? Put the ball on the turf. Right, right. When it mattered most, when it mattered most, he listened. You do realize, in the last eight minutes of the ball game in the four quarter, you know Joe Burr is one and 34 in the record season? Yeah, one and 34. You know when trailing? Yeah, when trailing, I know, I know. It's understandable. But listen, we started off 2 and O, we let one get away from us. We let one slip away from it. Well, we're going to get to that game later. We're going to get to that game later. You thought y'all, you thought you're going to go all the way to Brazil. Oh, you go win that game and fly back happy.

Ocho. Hey, yeah, what's our, Joe? We might have to jump his ass, Ocho. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're doing too much, Turbo. Like, the show ain't we just got started five minutes. Joe, I just, Joe, I mean, the Broncos won.

I told you we was going to be, look, we had a, we laid a dud Sunday night, the first over the night. That's what we did. We did. We didn't play well, but I know we're more than capable of the defense. Look at the defense. Pick him out. Yeah, Matthew Stafford.

You look at the numbers 30 of 55, 35, 3992 touchdowns, but they picked them off twice where that mattered the most. Got six out of that. Game is game-sealing interception, sack them four-time, pressure them numerous times. Joe, I just had a good time. Hey, I know you're happy. I know you're really happy, Joe.

As you can see, he's gloating the night, you know, wightfully so because both his teams won. But I thought the Rams, Joe, when the game started, in that first half, I thought the Rams fell in the runaway with the game. Man, what? the way they was playing and Bo Nixon, that offense really wasn't doing nothing. The Bronco defense didn't look good.

Devonte Adams was doing what he wanted to do out there, you know, with number two out there on them. Yeah, yeah. That's his crimson, I don't know, Joe. Yeah. I'm like, wouldn't the world happen when they came out in the second half? Yeah.

We got hot. It takes us a little while. Mile high magic. The crowd got into the game. You saw the crowd, you saw the camera started bouncing. I said, uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Somebody in a heap of trouble. somebody to heap of trouble. Bo Nix says 20-25. He has seven fourth-quarter comebacks, number one. Nine game-winning drives, number one. 20 touchdowns when trailing by one score, number one. Twelve fourth-quarter touchdowns. Tide for third.

Thirteen touchdown on third or fourth down. That's fourth. Five touchdowns on third down in the fourth quarter. That's time for number one. Hey. That's what we do in Denver. It's magic. Do you believe in magic?

Yeah. That defense saved you tonight. That defense said, I mean, Al Michaels had a famous fan in the 1980 Olympics, I know you was just a, you were a pup, Joe, you don't remember nothing like this. When we beat the Russians in Lake Placid, he asked, do you believe in miracles? Yes.

Yeah, yeah, that's what it was tonight. It was a miracle. Do you believe in magic, Joe? Yes. Hey, you got to chill. Hey, hey, Joe, he's feeling good. Oh, man, he got it. He's just, he doing wage.

Hey, we're going to let you celebrate. You hear me? We're going to let you celebrate. No, no, no. Hey, man, you need to act like you've been here before, man. Why are you acting like this? I've been here. Y'all have been right where y'all are, losing. It's all good. It's all good. I mean, what did you expect? I mean, the problem, I know y'all was over there. I know you're like, yeah, Ocho, I know y'all probably texting him. Ocho, we got him now. Oh, Joe, Ocho, Ocho, text, yeah, we got him, Joe.

I know you got him. I know you did that. I know you did it. I'm not like that. I'm not like that. I'm like that. I was just enjoying the game. I was enjoying the game. I was enjoying the game too. I bet you wouldn't enjoy it more than I was. Damn. I mean, actually, in the first half, I was.

In the first half, I was. I thought they were going to run away with it. But Bo Nix made some of the players that needed to. Played well, offensively. Cortland Sutton had some really good catches. Yeah. Dalyland Waddle, we got to work on the drop, young bull. For sure.

We got to work on the drops. I know you had one hell of a catch, you know, in the back of the end zone, but there's some other plays you could have had you could have got jiggy with it outside of that that defense man is it Mufanga, is that how you say it?

Hufanga. Hufanga, hey. Well, salute the young bull, boy. You see how he passed that off and picked that and picked that back to the flag? And you know what? I understand why Matt Stafford through that because he thought he went with the tight end.

He wasn't supposed to be there. Yeah, he wasn't supposed to be there. Man, that was a great, great, great play. That was a great play. Great play. So what you think about you like the game, Joe? That was a good game, wasn't it? Chill, chill, chill.

It was a good game. Listen, I thought in the second half when Denver kind of settled in, you know, they made some huge plays defensively, Unc and Ocho. And I don't know what it is, bro. It just seemed like the Rams. I don't know if they got tied in the second half, but they ain't had that same off. I like the little back and forth in the fourth quarter.

You know, I like Stafford. He threw the pick. He didn't let that bother me. He come right back and throw a damn touchdown. You know what I mean? I mean. So I thought it was a good shootout, especially toward the end, good game, you know, had my attention the whole time. But, I mean, if you're the Rams, you shoot yourself in the foot, bro. You got to be pissed about this one. Okay, Ocho 16-0 a half and you blow that.

Yeah. But I think the thing was that they hurt themselves with the penalties getting backed up. You're going to kick field. You kick field goals enough. Somebody going to bite, they're going to get you. Oh, yeah, yeah. They're going to get you. Absolutely. You kick three field goals. You get a touchdown in one of them. We might have a different game. We might be going to overtime.

We don't know. Maybe you go lining up. Now you're kicking the game winning field goal to walk it off. But you left – especially on the road. On the road, points are at a premium. You cannot kick field goals. Field goal gets you beat. And that's what happened.

That's what happened to the Rams. They kicked two feet of field goals. Like you said, guys, they were going up and down the field in the first half. But they could match. Matthew Stafford, he missed Devante Adams twice. Devante ran out and up. Sartan slipped. He overshot him.

That's got to be a touchdown. That's got to be a touchdown. You can't miss opportunities like that because you don't know they're fleeting. You don't know if and when you'll get those back in that game. But this was, look, the Broncos, they showed me something tonight because I was like, damn, y'all going to go out like this. Y'all going to let Ocho and Joe clown me like this. I, hey, um, matter of fact, listen, if the Broncos, they show me,

Broncos lost, I wasn't going to say nothing. I wasn't going to say nothing. You couldn't say nothing because your team stunk. No, no, no. Wait, whoa, calm down. Calm down. We didn't stink. We lost by three.

Don't do that. I told you stunk because I keep telling you. Oh, that defense. We got a defense. Y'all gave up 30 points to a team that can barely get three. That can barely get seven points last week. They got 30. This is the division game.

This is what happens when you play a division opponent. You know each other very well. Huh? Are y'all? Oh, wait, whoa, whoa, we're on the wrong game. We talk about the Broncos right now. Oh, my bad, my bad. Oh, the Broncos, that's what we do.

We win. I'm used to this. Oh, oh, you used to this? Yep. Oh, you, oh, you, hey, you're popping it tonight. Okay. Hey, keep that same energy, my boy. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Now, look at, are you threatening me? Oh, I'm not threatening me. I'm just saying, y'all with one game, you're acting like y'all won the Super Bowl. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, Joe, it's week three. I'm with Ocho on this. I'm with Ocho on this.

You're doing just two damn much tonight. It's just too much. Your team and Ocho team didn't do enough. If I'm doing too much, y'all didn't do enough. Okay. How about that? Hey, okay. So maybe if I take it down a notch, y'all have picked it up a notch.

We all could have been celebrating. We all could have been sitting around the campfire on this La Portier. But no, only I get to drink. I got a drink by myself tonight. Now you don't. I got one. I tell you what. I know you've been drinking earlier.

You've been drinking. Hey, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill. Hey, Joe. I mean, he, listen, he's sitting on that high horse right now. The Broncos two and one. You hear me? They two and one. Hey, Gunn, guess what?

You know what the Bengals are? They two and one, too. Yeah. Huh? What's the cowboys? What's you, all this hooping in the hooded? You know the cowboys are. What, we two, we want to do?

Yeah. God damn. And it ain't looking good. Ocho, what did you all in, damn for? The season just started. No, no, I'm just saying. No, no, no, no, it's just game three. Just three games.

Damn, we lost to a hell of a team today. I ain't even say nothing. Yes, you did. No, I'm going to talk about something else. Well, you're an aunt going to have me crash out on here tonight. I'm going to try to be cool. What you're going to crash it out for? Yeah, because y'all, y'all ain't going to act right.

I already know it. Oh, man. Come on, me. Come on, Joe. I think, come on, Joe. I mean, me and my homeboy, we've been talking about this. We've been planning this for the longest, man. He ain't bothered nobody.

Joe. And who over that help you? Jordan over that helping you, man. Come on, man. Don't put Jordan to this. Come on, man. I just have you a little tired. Hey. Hey. Hey, you feel. Listen, you know what? Rightfully so. You can pop it tonight.

You hear me? You can pop it tonight. You know, my team lost. Joe team lost. Hey, enjoy your little win, though. It's only week three. You see what I'm saying, Joe? You see them said. Hey, hey, Joe. Let him. Let him do it. Now, when they won last week, it was a big win.

I get a win is little. Hey, matter of fact, we'll see what y'all do next week against San Francisco. Let's see you pop it in. Huh? Hold on. Y'all make you seem like San Francisco unbeatable.

Man, McCaffrey. McCaffrey can fit to run all through y'all, man. Hey, hey, same thing, make you laugh, make you cry, fella, all right? O'K, you better be careful over there now. Nah, you would laugh at all last week. Remember y'all beat Washington? Yeah.

You were laughing all that week. I wasn't laughing. I took the win. I took it. I took the win. Okay, we'll take the win. I'll take the win too. Hey, yeah.

Hey, Joe, we weren't doing all this, huh? No, I mean, I mean, you know. We weren't doing all this. Kyle, you know it's short, Leah. Hold on. Hold on. Just a second. Just a second.

This man got way too much going on. Look, look. Oh, my God. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. The Brian. The music you love. I heart radio.

and Sean Watson gets a second win, and the Browns are not two and one. Tide for the division lead. Deshaun Watson last two games, 40 of 60, 382, four touchdowns, no interception. First time the Browns have a winning record since 2023. Deshawn Watson is the first quarterback since Baker Mayfield. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what you're...

Hold on. Hold on. They did something. Are we not... Deshawn Washington is the first quarterback since Baker Mayfield in weeks 14 and 15 of 20. 2018 to lead season, in 2018 season, to lead a game winning TD drives in the fourth quarter of consecutive games. Here's Deshaun feeding off the Browns fans energy today and the win over the Panthers. And it's great.

You know, I just wanted to finish the job for him. So, yeah, it was a one moment I got a little teary eye, you know, just filling that energy. Because, you know, I put so much work to get back here, you know, to be in this moment here, to be able to show that I can finish these drives, finish these games and get Ws for this. city in this organization. This is what all the hard work and all the beliefs, the prayers, everything that I, you know, put myself through the last 22 months to be able to stand in front of the crowd and on that field to finish the job.

And I want to keep improving and keep trying to get better each every day, each week. And we got a big one Thursday. What I told you what going to happen, huh? Yeah. What I told you was going to happen? He's going to go. That first home game, Joe, coming off that win. That crowd was going crazy.

They're going to go crazy. There was one thing. They might have booed you when you got hurt. But you want the booze to turn it into cheers. Win some games and watch what happened. Give them something to cheer. Watch what happened. Man, they were cheating.

Let's go do, Sean. Let's go do you, shot. The whole stadium. What you were talking about? I understand why he was crying. Not only on top of that, they won the game from a team that scored 50 and 39 and back-to-back weeks.

Wait, 50, 59? They scored 37 and 34 back to back. There, 37 and 34. Then you come, they come into Cleveland. And listen, Bryce Young might have had him a date. He had an interception. But Deshawn Watson played well, huh? 15 for 32, TD 144.

Junkins has 70. That goddamn Harold Fanon Jr., boy, I salute you, young bull, but you're the real deal. And Deshawn does what? He gets another W. So how you think the people of Cleveland feel? How you think those fans feel? They're going to keep cheer.

Exactly. When it cures everything, Joe. Oh, yeah. It cures everything no matter what's going on in life. Yeah, I'm with you. You give them something to cheer about, okay, Ocho, they're going to rally around. Not only that, I didn't think Deshaun was, he played great tonight. I don't think he had any turnovers, which was obviously great.

But for the most part, they defense, bro. They defense was stingy tonight against a Carolina team who had been putting up at least what, about 30 a game. 35, yeah, they basically gave up half of what, they only scored half of what they normally scored. Yeah, I think, hell, I think they only had like three

in the first half. So I was surprised that the Browns locked in defensive like that, that they were able to stop that high power offense the way Young had been playing. Okay, Ocho, but, man, get the shot credit, bro. No turnovers. He helped, he helped pull his win through. Hey, I'm happy for him, bro.

I ain't gonna lie to you, because I can understand, I can understand the pressure that's on him and to be able to go out and win in front of those fans. And like you said, he got teary out of it. Ocho, you said they were chanting his name. What? The whole stadium. I can only imagine.

Let's go, dude, Sean. That's why he were crying. It had to be. You know what that feel like? Everything you've been through, all the stuff he's had to endure. Especially with, Joe, boy, you know what it's like for your own home crowd to boo you? Yeah.

Man, they got the hurt, huh? Yeah. And then and then those booze turned to chairs. Yeah. Hey, I know Deshawn confidence out of the roof right now, boy. As it should be. Continue to ride that wave, boy. Continue to ride that way.

They probably won't give it to him, but he should be the front running for comeback player of the year. Player of the Year. Yeah. They're not going to give it to it. It's still early. It's still early. You got to keep playing well.

All they need to, hey, the comeback. Like 22 months, they went about, what, they won two games? They went about five, six games. He should be good. Hey, hey, you know what? They might win more than that. If you look at the schedule, though. They got Pittsburgh coming up.

That's going to be a tough game. That's a division game. It's always like that. After that, they got the Jets. After the Jets. But the Jets hadn't looked bad this year, Ocho. At all. At all.

They played a good one a day, a good one of day, too. Yes. Again. Yeah. The Jets did not look bad. But like you said, Joe, I think the thing is, Deshaun, if it only had 144 yards, passing yards, two touchdowns, but the no turnovers.

Yep, yeah. No turnovers. They ran the ball $34. $3.32. Control the clock. Let's see some of the stats. What's going on? It's a close game.

Stats. Carolina had 24 first down. This had 17. It had 100 more yards. four or 15 on third down, five of 15. Carolina was 0 of 3 on 3rd down. The Browns were two of three.

The Browns 12 penalties for 84 yards, that'll get you beat. Both teams had a turnover, but Deshaun didn't turn it over. Yeah. Except, no, so that's the way they're going to have to play. Don't turn the ball over. You see the first game.

They put the ball in harm's way. they lost. He's done a better job of taking care of the football the last two games. They've won. That's the way they're going to have to give themselves a chance to win. They don't have an offense that's going to be able to go up and down the field because I don't think they have that kind of arsenal on the offensive side of the football.

But keep it a close game. We don't turn it over. We make you shoot yourself in the foot. Give us a chance to win the game late in the ball game. And I like our chances. As long as they don't allow teams to run away and hide from them early in the game with Joe. I think they got a great chance. I don't know how many games.

they're going to win. I'm not saying they're a playoff team. But I think they could, hey, they're a solid football team, especially defensively. Yeah. And you know what? Not as you just mentioned it too, because they're so good defensively, I see them like the Broncos in a sense, you know, from a defense perspective, even though Miles Garrett, even though Miles Garrett is going, they're really, really good because they were in the top five in, in, uh, defense of categories last year, almost in every, in every, uh, statistic. Yeah. If the Sean can play well, especially not he's riding high with that confidence, and they can continue to score points.

He can continue to facilitate the ball to his receivers, especially Howard Fannie's union at tight end. Jucking can stay healthy and run the ball well, and you just don't turn the ball over. Don't put the ball in harm's way. They can win a lot of games. And if they don't win a lot of games, a lot of games can be close,

and they can allow that defense to carry the rest of the way. AFC North, Browns, 2 and 1, Steelers, 2 and 1. Bengals, two and one. Why you mean call it a name all first? Hey. And the Ravens. Hey, but I ain't going to lie, though.

Watching this game, the Broncos got lucky. Okay, Ocho, because I know. Why are you going back to the Broncos? We already talked about them. I didn't mean, I meant to say the Browns. I meant to say the Brown. Oh, okay. The Browns got lucky.

Because think about this. DeShan, he didn't have no turnovers, but he had two passes that should have been picked out. I don't know if y'all seen. He had one that went right through. of his hands, he just, that's probably why he played defense because he can't catch because it went right through a damn hand.

And then he hit another, he hit the other dude, he jumped a route. He just, he just couldn't catch it. But outside of that, I thought he played, I thought he played good.

When you don't have turnovers, I don't care what sport you play, bro. You got a good chance of winning. And that's what you've done. He played the position well. He kept his teams out of harm way, and they was able to pull the game off.

I thought he had some big throws. He had some big plays that he made with his legs and with his own. you know, to keep the Browns afloat. They play at Thursday night. It's a division battle, AFC North Battle, Browns versus the Steelers.

Who we like in that? You lean in one way or another? What are you playing at? Who are Joe? Commanders defeated the Seahawks 33-31. Who saw the commanders beating the defending champs who had won 12 straight games without Jaden Daniels. Marcus Marriota had himself a game,

19-13-31, 183, 3 touchdown. and a quarterback run to seal the game. Sam Darnethore, for a costly pick six late in the fourth quarter. JSN 10 for a buck 28, two touchdowns. Ocho? Yeah. How was the commanders able to beat a team

that had won 12 straight game? How were they able to pull it off with a backup quarterback? Hey, Marcus Marriota, that's how they were able to do it. How would they able to do it? No turnovers. McLaren, he was 6-6 for 77, but Mariotta was 19 for 31, Unke, he had three T-Ds

and the most important stat, no turnovers, no interceptions. And then obviously he played well. Hell, Sam Donald went crazy today, Unk, even though he had two interceptions. You know, JSN did what JSN does. We're used to seeing that.

There's really nothing else we can say about him. Yeah, well, he is, dude is unbelievable. He cooking. Yeah, I thought, you know, know, Seattle had more yards, Uncle Ocho, four touchdown passes from Donald, but Washington won the moments that matter. You know what I mean? Marriota stepped in for Daniels. I thought the defense obviously played pretty good. They had a pick six, and I thought Mariotta, you know,

he used his legs down the stretch, bro, to kind of shut the door on this thing. Yeah. I know if he, if you mark his Marioota, bro, to be able to step in and play like this, it definitely he has to feel good. Definitely has to feel good. Hey, how long Jaydened out, huh? I think it's week to week. It all depends on how much pain

he can tolerate it. I dislocated mine. I was out a month. And the thing is is that I had to get used to that jarring because, oh, man. And then you can't, I mean, because at first you're not going to be,

you're talking about painful? Boy, that thing, knowing her. Hey, I had elbow surgery. I didn't know what you mean. Yeah, I had. elbow surgery, Ocho. Yeah. How you got that?

I had some chip. I had some... Bone chips. I fell on the floor. You burst that bursor, did you? I fixed... I played the whole game. The first quarter, Uncle Ocho.

Now, I felt it the whole game. I'm like, damn, it's so. We were playing in New York. I never forget against the Knicks. I'm playing here for the Hawks. And I fell, but I finished the game, but my arm was sore. We get on the plane. I get home.

I go to sleep. I wake up the next day. My arm was stuck. It was stuck in this position. I couldn't extend it out or nothing. So I swear to God, I went to the, I drove to the, to the arena. And I remember talking to the train. I'm like, look, bro, my arm stuck.

He thought I was lying. He tried to push it out. And they couldn't move. Right then. I went down to, what's my dude in Alabama? Who'd be doing the elbow surgeries? James Andrews. Yeah, I went down to Andrews.

Same day. He got me in there, got me on the pad. I had like four or five chip bones that was large in my. The bone spurs. Yeah, yeah, they were lodged in the socket from when I fell. And he had to get him up out of there. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I don't, I don't been under that night before. I mean, it's the thing is, Ocho, it's his non-throwing, it's his non-throwing arm. Right. So, but the thing is, can you protect yourself? Because the first rule of thumb is what you want to do when you get tackle. You want to protect yourself. You want to brace. Sometimes you want a brace, yep.

And, and Jane got that little small friend. Yeah. That small frame, man. I think it's gonna work against him to some degree, under Ocho. Yeah, he can get out of harm's way when he back there in that pocket, but man, man, when he gets tacked,

it's like, man. Hey, the good thing about it is anybody on that D-line when they do hit him, when they do sack him, they can't, you're not allowed to put all your weight on it no more. Yeah, you ain't got to, Ocho. That might save him a little bit outside of that, but ain't no telling. I hope you come back soon.

I hope you come back soon. Yeah. Yeah. to put on, you know, mean differentiation like this? Yeah. What you saying? No, what's you saying?

What's you saying, Ojo? Huh? No, you ain't saying what I think you're saying. No, I'm just saying if you got the hot hand, you know, you know, I ain't, you know, I ain't saying it's going to be

no Wally Pip or nothing like that, but I'm just... Yeah, Drew Locke had the hot hand. Hell, they got him on them about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, but, you know, Sam Donald already got that big bag, though, so it's different. Yeah, I don't, I'm not, I'm not counting on,

I'm not counting on Mario to playing like this game in the game out. But he'll buy you, he can buy your time for a couple games. He can buy your time. He's going to steer the ship, now. You hear me? I just think the thing is that when Jane gets back, he needs to understand. Look, it was a freak, it was a freak accident. Like you said, the right guard steps back, steps on his foot. He, I mean, his instinct says, let me brace myself.

and make a play. Yeah. I don't understand how it came out. So easy. Bones, like collar bones and elbows, it don't take a whole lot of pressure. Unk, he just put his hand down. That's, like, come on, man.

Think about you falling on your arm. That's your whole weight. That's your body weight on that arm. You got to do some push-ups, man. There you go to these push-ups. No, for real, man. For real, y'all know that, man. Come on.

Because we got a thing, little freak accident, a little freak falls like that, that's going to happen pretty frequently. Yeah. We're talking football, Uncle, hell.

We ain't talking about ballerina. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, the body should be able to withstand that. Yeah, so he's going to have moments to where he's going to hit the day.

Yeah, if this was back in the day, boy, the way them quarterbacks, collar bones were snapping back in the day. Oh, no. Boy, do he quarterbacks

once there in the chance if them big boys are putting that weight on. They're too valuable. Now, they're the face of the league. They've turned it into the face of the league. The quarterbacks are too valuable. They're not fit to let you hit them quarterbacks like that.

No. Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, the quarterback today, they probably, they wouldn't play. They'd be hurt. Ah, man, the way they used to throw them quarterbacks down? What? Hey, remember that hit on, um, who was that, that slam Terry Brash on his head, man? Turkey Jones.

Charles Martin did, what you call him, he just grabbed him. Who was it? Jim McMahon. Jim McMahon threw a pass. He was just standing there. Charles Martin, dunked him on the shoulder. There wasn't no penalty?

Yeah. Yeah. But I'm just saying, guys wouldn't do that now. Oh, they suspend. I think they're suspended before a game or two. And that's funny. I could just imagine it, like L.T. playing in this era with today's quarterback.

We not. But there was no situation you couldn't land on the quarterback or you couldn't hit it. I mean, you put your helmet dead. You put your helmet dead in his back. And I think that's a difference. If you had explained today's game and the difference between today's game and the game back then, the game back then doing Unx error, doing my error, Joe, the error before me, the error before that, the game was built on intimidation.

Yeah. Yes. It was built on intimidation. built on intimidation. How can I intimidate my opponent? Most of the time from the defensive end, because they could do whatever. The quickest way is knock your damn quarterback out of the game.

Hey, once you cut the head off the snake, you know what that mean. Knock your ass, smooth out. J.S.N. with 10 catches above 28, two touchdowns. Oh, Cho. Yo. Boy, that Joe got by 30, about 30, about 30, about 30, 33 catchers right now, Ocho. Already?

Hey, they're doing real. We in week three. I know. He is Eden. Do you hear me? Hey. Hey, hey, hey. They use him in so many different ways, Joe, man.

Like, Godly, man. Man, be all over the place, boy. Hey, J.S.N. Don't give a damn who y'all got back there to quarterback. Hey, when JSA come out the huddle, I bet the defense be like, you know, like, like, find, like, where's Waldo? Yeah. You got, you got the,

You got to find where he's at. Hey, hey, hey, think about it. Okay, Ocho, what make him so special, though? His ability to run around Joe and never breaks free. Everything looks the same. Yeah. Joe Ocho, he has 27 catches, 405 yards and six touchdowns. This man got 400 yards already and we in week three?

Yep. Man, what the? Yep. man on the pace about 2200 yards, oh, Joe. Man, that's crazy, boy.

Damn. Hey, Joe, he's special, though, Joe. He's more fast and quick. You know, he twitchy with it too. You can't bump him. You can't double him. They move him all over the place and the fact that he is a master rock runner.

Master rock runner. Hey, why you can't double him, no? You can't, because they move them all over the place. You can't double him. Because the double somebody, Joe, basically on every play, your guys have to be locked in. Because I'm going to move him around. I'm not going to leave him stationary. I'm not going to

leave him out and wide. I'm going to put him in the slot. I'm going to put him in the backfield. I'm going to put him at left. I'm going to move him. I'm going to stack him. I'm going to bunch him. I'm going to do a lot of different things. And if your guy is one guy, he'll be running Scott three. Yep. You mess up. It's a rap. Hey, they got it. They got it lucky today, Joe. You think so? Who did?

No, I'm just saying Today's receivers, man. Hey, I ain't moved no damn well. Boy, I'm on the outside. Joe, on the outside left or the outside to the right. That's it. Damn. Now, these guys, they got these defenses

advanced. Offices got to become more advanced also. So you got to move guys around. You can't be afraid. And guys like, you ain't see no wide receiver line up in no damn back field. Uh-uh. They line them up in the backfield.

They'll slip him up through, running through the A gap and all. Because you think he's going to lead up the block and the next thing you know he's running the seven route. He's behind you. But everything looks the exact same with him. He's running a route,

the subtleties in which he used the head movement, the body movement, but he's still running full speed. Don't break stride. Well, he'd be using them eyes too, boy. I'm using my eyes. Look, it all depends on who you like, if you like him or chase,

but they're right there. They're right there. Hey, two completely different type of receivers all together. Yes. Two different playing styles, but still the cream of the crop when it comes to the receivers in the league. It's all on what you like.

Yeah. Oh, Joe, Joe. 18 carries, 44 yards. Are they regretting letting Kenneth Wall Walker the third go. Yeah. Yeah, man, listen, the way Kenner Walker the third over there, what he's doing with the Chiefs, Uncle Ocho?

And you mean to tell me the Seahawks let that go, bro? When I think he complimented Sam Donald, that passing game and they run game that mix, man, for you to get rid of him and you basically getting nothing from your running back right now? Yeah, I think, yeah. But you got to understand why they let him go, Uncle Joe. Chat, you know, we've got to understand this business

and how it goes. You're coming off the Super Bowl. You're coming off a Super Bowl that you won, you know, basically on your legs. So after that, you know, you're going to the dough, you know, after the game, knock, knock. You know, who there? This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this is kidd Walker. I want to talk about a contract. Yeah.

You saw what I did in the Super Bowl. You know how they feel upstairs when they come to this business. Well, listen, you're not a tier one running back. You're not Christian McCaffrey. You're not Sequin Barclay. You know, you're not Jamir Gibbs, you know, you're not Bijayette. We feel we can replace your production and find somebody else

that can do exactly what you did. Hold on. They say that to the Super Bowl MVP? Yeah, boy? What you're talking about? Yeah. I'm telling you, that's how they think. Joe, you got to be,

Joe, man, them first four our name, boy, them boo, them do special, boy. Kenneth Walker, he's good. He's a good running back. But it's still, it's a tear in everything that we do. Hey, hey, it's kudos to Kenneth Walker for getting picked up by the cheese. Because think about what he's doing for that offense

and what he's doing for Pat McGahn's over there. He's definitely added the dimension that they didn't have. He's added dimension to the cheese that they haven't had in a very, very long time. Oh, my God. Like, it looks so easy for Pat Mahomes out there. It ain't even funny, bro. Matter of fact, I'm glad you said that, Joe.

Because they got Kenneth Walker, Mahomes ain't got to be Superman, all the dog on the dog. Hello. There you go. Huh? There you go. Man, he's getting that toting that thing, man. But he's nice.

He's playing really well. He went to the right offense that's perfectly fit for him in his playing style and running style. I'm perfect. He definitely went to the right offense.
