The 49ers motivated to get a DePurdy deal done sooner than later. Should the 49ers sign Purdy to a long-term deal, Ocho, or should they use the franchise tag on him? Well, listen, they're not going to franchise the quarterback. You're not going to upset him.
Starting point is 00:03:13 He's already been playing on minimum waves. I hate saying it like that because it is it. Hell, Baltimore upset. They didn't care about upsetting Lamar. I mean, I... I'm just saying, Ocho, they upset him. No, they didn't, though. But they franchised it.
Starting point is 00:03:26 He played on the franchise tag. Oh, that was a best ride. He sure did. Yeah, but you know, they have to pay. I know a lot of teams kicking themselves in the butt. Yeah. Hey, Atlanta Falcons, that $180,000 that you gave, what you call them, you could put another $40 million
Starting point is 00:03:44 that gave that to Lamar Jackson. Now, can you imagine Lamar Jackson in Atlanta? Oh, my goodness. We'll never know. We'll never know. We'll never know. Unless you're playing...
Starting point is 00:03:55 That would have been the second coming of Michael B. Oh, yeah. That would have been the second... Oh, can you imagine him on that turf? In that building? Man, that's...
Starting point is 00:04:04 Man, there'd have been so many eights. There'd have been just as many eights jerseys as there were seven. Yeah. At the apex of Mike B. Yeah. That city, this is Lamar Jackson in Atlanta. They would have been cooking, boy. They would have been cooking.
Starting point is 00:04:19 That's need to hear it, though, because he is a Raven. And he's only going to be a Raven. He ain't being it. He's going to have a statue out front just like Ray Lewis. He's going to be the greatest Raven in NFL and Raven history. And they've had some great ones. You know, you got Ray and you got Ogden and you got Reed and you got Suggs. But Lamar Jackson is going to go down as the greatest Raven ever.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah. But the thing, back to the Purdy situation, you know good and well they franchising Purdy. You know that? You don't think so? Okay. You know,
Starting point is 00:04:52 come on now, come on now. You know, I'm not trying to, I'm trying to keep it cute here. You know good and well they're not franchising Purdy. You know,
Starting point is 00:05:03 they're going to take care of it. They're going to take care of it. I'm going to just leave itdy. Maybe they're going to take care of it. They're going to take care of it. I'm going to just leave it at that. They're going to take care of it. And they should. But the question though, Joe, the question. Yeah. He's been to an NFC Championship. He's been to two NFC Championship games. He's been to a Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:05:20 This year had a lot of injuries. What's the number are we putting them at 55 to 60 million or are we somewhere between 35 and 45 million let's ask the question I don't think the question is the deal
Starting point is 00:05:35 I think it's the number in the deal right I say 30-45 30-45 range you know I'm not sure you know
Starting point is 00:05:48 what his agent may be thinking of what his agent wants to do but knowing an agent the agent wants to get as much as possible oh yeah
Starting point is 00:05:56 they trying to because everybody's trying to reset the market I'm sure they're trying to like hey whoa whoa whoa let's slow down a little bit
Starting point is 00:06:03 now we talk about Brock Perdue we ain't talking about reset the market type quarterback now. All I know is, hold on. He's done something Dak Prescott has never done. Been to an NFC Championship game. Gone to the Super Bowl. Dak got 60.
Starting point is 00:06:16 So what's your argument for Purdy not to get 62? I just want to hear it. Hey, listen. When it comes to negotiations, if they go in there with Dak and put it on the table and say it just like that write that on paper and slap that down slap that down on brother lynch's desk and who else got to see it well you ain't got no argument you you have the argument but listen as as a football person as a football person that understands the game and understand the different positions, you know, Brock Prudy is not a $60 million quarterback.
Starting point is 00:06:48 And I mean that with no disrespect. All I know is the market says I am. Okay. Look at all the guys that got $55 million and above. Right. How many of them have been to an NFC championship game? That guy's $60 million. He's never had. What's the guy in Jacksonville?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Trevor Lawrence. He never had. Tua, he never had. When you think about a quarterback making that kind of money, 60 million or above, you're looking at a quarterback that you say to yourself, well, you know what,
Starting point is 00:07:26 even with the injuries that have happened around me, my quarterback, his play can elevate everybody else. Yes. When everybody is here, his play is still playing at that elevated level. So what goes on around him
Starting point is 00:07:39 doesn't matter because we're paying him $60 million. He can do what Patrick Mahomes would do. Let me ask you a question. He can play well in moments when it matters. No, no, no, no. You can't. But let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:07:50 If I took Chase from Burrow, you still believe he can get him to the AFC Championship game? I'm going to leave him T. Higgins. I'm going to leave him everybody else, but I'm taking Chase. It'd be a little bit more difficult. It'd be a little bit more difficult because where are you going to leave him T. Higgins. I'm going to leave him everybody else, but I'm taking Chase. It'd be a little bit more difficult. It'd be a little bit more difficult because where are you going to get the production from?
Starting point is 00:08:09 You have to be that more creative offensively in trying to fill out the production that Chase would give you if he was on the field. So how do you get that off of the court? That makes his job that much more difficult. You've got to get the production from somewhere that Chase would give you on the offense. And that's the hard part he said part he said well while
Starting point is 00:08:27 you're trying to tell me i didn't elevate my play tell me other than patrick mahomes who could i've reached my case i mean because that's my argument if i'm his agent right i'm saying you telling me well you know this guy uh he lost juwan jennings he inings. Jennings was out for a game or two, I think. Aiyuk went down early in the season. He was lost for a season. We lost McCaffrey. We lost Mason. We lost Berendo for a game.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Okay. Deebo was inconsistent this year. Yeah. We ended up losing McTrent. So I'm just trying to figure out other than my homes. Now, Josh Allen makes a compelling place because he lost his two top receivers. And you see where he got them in the playoff.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Yeah. Yeah. So Josh Allen agent, and they're about to do a big deal with him. He's probably going to get two 85, 300 million. Josh Allen. He just got paid. He about to get $285 million, $300 million. Who? Josh Allen. He just got paid, huh?
Starting point is 00:09:28 He about to get paid again. Already? Yes. He got paid two years ago, three years ago. It's time's up. That's quarterback. We don't let them get too far into the deal, Ochoa. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:43 That's everybody else we let get far into the deal, not the quarterback. Right, okay, okay. That's everybody else we let get far into the deal. Not the quarterback. Right, okay, I got you. I got you. Okay, let me take that back. Not certain quarterbacks. Yeah, I... I'm glad you cleared that up.
Starting point is 00:09:57 That's Ash back there laughing. Jordan. Oh. You got my trash can full of, uh, beer cans. Oh. You got my trash can full of beer cans. No. It's beer.
Starting point is 00:10:16 It's beer. You know Ash from the South. She got a pickup truck. She be throwing the cans right in the back. But look, they say they're motivated. Yeah. You don't want to have this thing lingering, Ocho. You want to get it done sooner rather than later.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Let's get a number. They're going to lose some people, though. Would I be surprised if Trent left? No. You got Bosa. Yeah. You got Bosa making big dollars. Think about it. Hufanga
Starting point is 00:10:49 is up. There's Ward. It's up. Yeah. Wentzicum is going to probably want to re-note. I don't know when the last time Fred Warner went in. He's probably going to want to do something with his deal. Right. Very nice, bro. You got Debo. You got Ayuk. You got Kittle. And now you're about to pay a guy 50 mil
Starting point is 00:11:07 right I say 40 45 45 is a good number Trent go I'm gonna tell you who gonna pay Trent top dollar who? the Chiefs
Starting point is 00:11:17 absolutely absolutely because the the left and right tackle played when the Chiefs has been abysmal all season long. Ocho, check this out. Yeah. Joe Milton III responds to angry Patriots fans on IG Live
Starting point is 00:11:35 who are mad about not getting the first overall pick. He says, I ain't played football since preseason. If y'all was in my shoes, y'all would give me an opportunity to play. Would y'all go out there and not show up and not show out so y'all was in my shoes, y'all would give me an opportunity to play. Would y'all go out there and not show up and not show out so y'all can talk all about me if I lose? I don't blame him. That's what I'm saying. Look, that ain't got
Starting point is 00:11:53 nothing to do with me. That's an organization thing. That's y'all mindset. No, athletes aren't wired like that. We're programmed. Man, you think I got to lift all those damn weights out here practicing in the cold to try to lose?
Starting point is 00:12:11 Nah. Not at all. Not at all. You're putting too much work, too much sacrifice to even get to that point to get to your childhood dream in the NFL. You know,
Starting point is 00:12:23 we're doing it on purpose. And I'm trying to show, I'm trying to show that, hey, if they want to move on, then I can build a solid backup somewhere. I'm trying to stay in the league. Most definitely. Because if I go out there and bull job, guess what? I'm going to become just like y'all, fans.
Starting point is 00:12:40 That's a good one, boy. That's a good one. That's exactly what's going to happen. You listen to the fans too long you'll be up in the stands just like they are right along with them because the mentality the mentality is different as a fan they'll never have yeah they have to understand they're looking out for the best interest of the team i'm trying to win a game because guess what i'm if they get i might not be here right they get good I'm not here to benefit from it.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Oh, yeah, we appreciate what y'all going to do for Milton. Ain't nobody going to pay no salary. That man out in the league. Oh, no. Joe, do your thing. Do what you do. You did right. You showed the Patriots that you can be a serviceable backup.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Excuse me. You also opened some other teams' eyes to let them know, oh, he can play a little bit. I like it. Yeah. I bit my damn lip.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Cover your mouth. Don't do that, Ocho. I did cover my mouth. I mean, look, Ocho, I covered my mouth. You saw that, Ocho. See, he's trying to get No, no. Well, I ain't got, I did cover my mouth. I mean, look, Ocho, I covered my mouth. You saw that, Ocho. See, he's trying to get you.
Starting point is 00:13:46 No, no. Well, I ain't got, I need some spray. I need some disinfectant. I mean, there you go. Oh, God. But, hey, Joe, you acquitted yourself well. You didn't get an opportunity to play much, but in the last game of the season, you showed up.
Starting point is 00:14:05 You did your thing, bro. And congratulations. You showed the Patriots. Whoever the coach coming in there, they're like, hey, we got a nice little backup. Hey, you're going to be on the roster next year to make yourself a little money. Go make yourself a little money.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Oh, yeah. Yeah, but don't listen to the fans joe they did they fans for a reason let them cheer and boo and do whatever they want to do but you're going out there you ain't hey it ain't your job your job is to go out there and play play well that's your ability keep you keep and to be gainfully employed that is your job jo, Joe. And you did that. And I believe you're going to have a job next year with the Patriots. And if you don't, you showed that you could play in this league.
Starting point is 00:14:52 You showed that. You're going to be somewhere. Absolutely. And not up in the stands cheering like they are. So I ain't got no problem with what he did. Oh, Joe, the NFL will consider replacing the onside kick with an alternative proposal that has been mentioned in the years past. Instead of attempting the onside kick,
Starting point is 00:15:16 teams would get one down to convert fourth and 20. And if they get 20 yards, they would maintain possession of the ball. Ocho, how many times have you seen a team pick up for a 20 yard? That ain't nothing. get 20 yards, they would maintain possession of the ball. Buncho! How many times have you seen a team pick up for 20 yards? That ain't nothing! Hey, but I'm just saying the difficulty in getting 20 yards in one shot is very,
Starting point is 00:15:35 very, very rare. So you ain't never seen nobody get a 20-yard game? I'm saying it's very, very rare. It can happen. It happens. How many? Come on, now. It happens. How many? How many? Come on, now. Get off.
Starting point is 00:15:48 You know how many plays? You know how many plays in the playbook for 40? Yeah, how many? Well, we finna find out. On average, how many 20-yard plays happen in an NFL game?
Starting point is 00:16:02 I know one thing. It ain't gonna be many. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Elcho, guess what happened? You get a penalty.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You get a penalty? What? You get a holding penalty. Incidental contact. Illegal hands to the face. That's a first down. That's a first down, but you have to rely on the pass. They get the ball. You have to hope that happens.
Starting point is 00:16:35 You have to hope that happens. Let me ask you a question. Did we not see penalties tonight? Yeah. You saw two of them. Guess what? Indicated interceptions. Hold on, hold on hold on we're saying more than 20 eliminate the onside kickoff in hopes that there's a penalty on the
Starting point is 00:16:52 play what if you don't get the penalty okay oh oh joe think about what you just said what if you don't get the play but what think about it the call what if there's no holding call? I'd rather... What I'm saying, do you think the onside kick, the conventional onside kick, is more or less difficult than a fourth and 20 play? Which is more difficult to happen? Fourth and 20.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Than an onside kick? Yes, if you got a kicker that knows how to kick the goddamn ball and they have the third bounce go up in the air. You know what the problem is? The goddamn kickerser that knows how to kick the goddamn ball and they have the third bounce go up in the air. You know what the problem is? The goddamn kickers don't know how to make the goddamn ball bounce. Listen, let me say something, especially to the chat. People need to understand what the onside kick is supposed to look like.
Starting point is 00:17:36 The kicker is supposed to kick the ball. It's supposed to hit the ground. On the third bounce, the ball is supposed to bounce and go up. Nobody has perfected that yet for some guy. I don't know why. It's an onside kick. It's supposed to be basically. Before you do that, what's the onside conversion rate?
Starting point is 00:17:53 Give me the onside conversion rate. Hey, you know what I'm talking about. I know you've seen the onside kick. You got the right way, right? Yes, yes. I know you take that bounce. It hits that and it goes all the way up. And it basically becomes a junk ball.
Starting point is 00:18:06 But nobody's been able to do it. I'm not sure what the kickers are doing these days. The onside kick is 4%. 4%. Right. Now, how many times do you think there's a 20?
Starting point is 00:18:18 I guarantee you there are more than 4% 20-yard plays in the NFL in a game. No, not 4 than 20. Oh, Joe. But if it's a No, not four than 20. Ocho. But if it's a penalty, there's so many things can happen. Yeah, that's a hypothetical. What if it ain't?
Starting point is 00:18:33 Okay, you don't get it. I think the percentage is just as low. But see, you just gave a hypothetical. If it hit that perfect bounce, then get it. That's a hypothetical. It's really not hitting the perfect bounce. It's a technique to it. It's a technique that the perfect bounce. It's a technique to it. It's a technique that I've mastered.
Starting point is 00:18:48 It still doesn't matter. If I lock it up perfectly, I still going to recover it. If my guys block the guys because you got one guy that's going to try to end my third bounce, he's running the edge to try to get it. Now, I get my guys up front to lock it. Now, Green Bay messed it up against Seattle because what was supposed to happen, the tight end was supposed to block and Jordy Nelson was supposed
Starting point is 00:19:09 to field it. But what he did is he blocked back up. So, now, I'm going to coach it up. I believe there's a greater chance of converting 4th and 20 than it is actually getting an onside kick. Absolutely not. I think the percentage is the same
Starting point is 00:19:25 or maybe even lower than the onside kick. 4% if it's 4% for the onside kick. The Ravens have 85 plays of 20 yards or more. 85. So guess what, Ocho? Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:19:36 They have 85 plays of 20 yards or more on first, second, and third down. Not fourth. Ocho, but... No, Ocho. It doesn't matter. You just looking at the down. I'm looking at 20 yards.
Starting point is 00:19:51 What difference does it make? So that's at least, so in 17 games, in 17 games, guess what, Ocho? How many is that? That's like four games, isn't it? No, it's not happening. That's almost five a game. You got to think about it. This is situational. That's almost five a game. You got to think about it. This is a situation.
Starting point is 00:20:05 That's almost five a game. It's a situational football. This is an onside kick. And instead of doing an onside kick. How many onside kicks did the Ravens recover this year? You won't have one shot at fourth and 20. You are not getting that as often as you think. It's not happening.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Ocho, you're going to pick up fourth and 20 more than you're going to get an onside kick. I can assure you of that. No, absolutely not. It's not happening. You're making it sound like they're out there playing flag football. This ain't flag football. You're not just. Ocho.
Starting point is 00:20:33 No. Ocho, you looking at first, second, or third. I'm looking at 20 yards. It's 20 yards. You know how hard it is to get 20 yards? Yes. It's even harder to get an onside kick recovery. That's my point.
Starting point is 00:20:49 The difficulty is about the same. I'm telling you. Ocho, this man out his mind, Chad. You tripping. And if the Chaddies agree, would you have something wrong with them too? I know how difficult it is to get 20 damn yards. It is not more difficult to get 20 yards than it is
Starting point is 00:21:06 on the onside recovery, Ocho. Man, I'm telling you. That's why it's only 4%. It's equivalent. It's equivalent. It is not equivalent. It's about 4% as well. Do you understand? I wish I had a defensive player that was in the chat that actually plays in the NFL right now so they can tell you
Starting point is 00:21:22 how difficult it is to get 20 yards. And listen, all the things you can do defensively to make sure a team doesn't get 20 yards. You need Ocho. But there's so many Ocho. But see, here's the thing. What can the defenders, when he's trying to recover it, there's
Starting point is 00:21:38 a lot of things that he can't really do anything wrong. All he can do is mess up recovery. You on fourth and 20, you, guess what? You can jump outside now it's fourth and 15.
Starting point is 00:21:51 You can illegal hands to the face. That's first down. You can illegal contact. That's first down. You can face mask. That's first down. Guess what else you can do, Ocho? How many rough in the passes
Starting point is 00:22:02 you've seen that went to a first down? Right. Now that's hoping for a penalty. Everything you just did is hoping that something else goes wrong so we can get the first down. But what are you hoping for on the old side?
Starting point is 00:22:16 You're hoping for the ball to pop up so it gets you to get it. So you're hoping. It's not, it's not likely. Neither one of us. Oh, Joe, there were only three onside kicks recovered all year.
Starting point is 00:22:35 So there are 32 teams. They play 17 games each. Right. Only three onside were recovered. Now, how many 20 yard games? How many third and twenties? How many third and 20s? How many second and 20s?
Starting point is 00:22:48 How many first and 20s do you think they got? Forget fourth. I'm looking at 20 yards. You're looking at the down. 20 yards is 20 yards, whether it's first down, second down, third down, or fourth down. You have to understand the situation
Starting point is 00:23:00 and the circumstance. I'm opting out of the on-side, and we're trying to have one shot at 20 yards instead of an onside field, I mean, instead of an onside kick. It's the chances decrease significantly in making it in that one circumstance in the situation.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I'm trying to tell you, listen. Ocho, that's why you just throw the ball because there's so many things that the defense can do to give you a first down. You can incidental contact. You can PI. You can hold. You can illegal hands to the face. You can face mask.
Starting point is 00:23:39 You can unnecessary roughness on the quarterback. There are six things. Now tell me six things that the offense, that you can do other than recover the ball that will get you the ball on an onside. Even on that onside, not having those six things as a possibility that can happen on onside is
Starting point is 00:23:59 still significantly low. Your chance is still significantly low. Still, either way. I'm just being honest. We're making it where you're making it sound too... Ocho, the conversion rate on 4th and 15
Starting point is 00:24:14 or more is 15%. The conversion rate is less than 4% on the onside. Now, I don't know who your math teacher was. Wait a minute. Let's go back a little bit. Now, I don't know who your math teacher was. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let's go back. Let's go back a little bit. Now, I've already said something.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I made it very clear from the beginning is the fact that the kickers don't even know how to do the onside kick. Oh, Joe. See, I was going to say, not quarterbacks don't know how to throw the ball. You see what you did? You did another caveat. The onside kick. I'm telling you the onside kick, there's a certain technique to it that the goddamn kicker...
Starting point is 00:24:45 There's a certain technique to pick up on 20 yards. You see how I can do that? I can keep playing that game with you. It's not a game. I'm just telling you. The chances increase when the kicker knows what the hell he's doing. The chances increase when the quarterback knows what he's doing. All right.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I'm just playing. I'm playing your game you want to do hypothetical I'm going to give it back to you let's go you up next I don't challenge you
Starting point is 00:25:09 it ain't no changing the goal post y'all it is tougher to recover an onside kick than it is to pick 20 yards
Starting point is 00:25:22 you looking at four I'm looking at 20 yards so No. You're looking at four. I'm looking at 20 yards. So let me ask you a question. Yes, sir. Chad, what's the difference between first and 20, second and 20,
Starting point is 00:25:32 third and 20, fourth and 20? 20 yards is 20 yards. But ain't nobody getting it in one lump. It's hard to get 20 yards in one lump sum. It's not, it's not.
Starting point is 00:25:44 It's harder to recover an onside than to pick up 20 yards. Both of them are equally as difficult is what I'm trying to tell you. No, Ocho. What's equally as difficult is which weighs the more. Which weighs more? A ton of bricks or a ton of feathers? It's not that complicated, Ocho. Which weighs more, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
Starting point is 00:26:10 Ton of bricks. They way to say a ton is a ton. You see what you just did? Thank you. Let's move along. Jack, you see how easy that was? You see? Conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance. You can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.

Starting point is 00:31:20 the wide receivers? No, no, no, no, no. I can't coach no receivers. I can't coach... I got too many jobs. I got too many jobs. I got too many jobs right now. Hey, you have one job, coaching. No, they don't pay enough.
Starting point is 00:31:33 They don't pay enough. They don't pay enough, you know? You know, listen, I don't think people understand. I'm making better than NFL, NFL better minimum wage times 10, having 50, 11 jobs. I ain't going to Georgia state.
Starting point is 00:31:49 They can't, they can't afford me. I don't know if that makes sense, but it may, it makes sense to me. But yeah, listen, you,
Starting point is 00:31:57 you, you did one of this for me in my career and my growth as a player, not only as a player that as, as, as a man, as a man as well, man, I think he, he's a great think he's a great leader of men,
Starting point is 00:32:08 somebody that means a lot, especially to me and my career and what he was able to do for me as my head coach in Cincinnati during those years and that tenure I had with him. Man, I'm happy for him. I'm going to go down there and visit him, though. I come down there and intern when I got a little break, put my cleats on, run a few routes, lock up a few receivers
Starting point is 00:32:26 outside of that. But that's cool, man. I'm happy. I'm happy for Hugh Jack. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Look, I know Hugh Jack. I like Hugh Jack.
Starting point is 00:32:36 He's a great offensive mind. I like him. I met Hugh when he was a receivers coach in Baltimore. Yeah. And so, I like Hugh.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Talked to him. I hadn't talked to him in a minute. Actually, when he was the head coach at Cleveland. So I like Hugh Jack a lot. It's a great opportunity. Hopefully, he gets an opportunity to parlay that into another head coach because I think he deserves to be a head coach somewhere. Listen, if you ever have the
Starting point is 00:33:08 opportunity, but I know the chat wouldn't have the opportunity but you just said it to bring your mind. If you ever have the opportunity to sit down with you and talk football, I'm talking about X's and O's, it'll blow your mind. Oh yeah. And I think, you know what, Joe? I think you better as an offensive coordinator
Starting point is 00:33:24 than a head coach. Right. Okay. Okay. The two are different. The two are very different. In fact, all I got to do is worry about this offense. I ain't got to worry about the defense.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I ain't got to worry about the special team. I ain't got to coach the coaches. I ain't got to worry about nothing. I ain't got to worry about somebody showing up late. I ain't got to worry about any of this. All I worry about is the offense. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I like it. And that's the most difficult thing a lot of times, though, as a head coach, is being able to delegate. Being able to delegate, having the right people. Right. To make sure your generals get your message out. But that's not easy. That's not easy. But that's not easy. That's not easy. But congratulations to you, Jack.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Congratulations to you, Jackson, headed to Georgia State as the OC. That's live. I thought you was going to be... Oh, Ocho. Now, see, we got a little extra time Ocho we got your segment coming back oh yeah

Starting point is 00:56:09 One o'clock. You see? Why are you calling my phone this time of night? Making sure you're where you're supposed to be. No, no. What she's trying to do is she thinks I'm a booty call. And that's what I'm not going to be. I'm not going to be your little boy.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I bet you drag your tired lady black ass over there. I bet. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. Because what you're not going to do, you're not going to disrespect me little boy. I bet you drag your tie and leave the black ass over there. I bet. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. I don't. Because what you're not going to do, you're not going to disrespect me and think you're just going to use me, you know, for my parts, you know. This is not what you wanted. You didn't want to continue to build with me. Then, listen, I ain't
Starting point is 00:56:39 no talk. Oh, then 86, you know 86 Benny Chester Birdie went to Hodgman? Hey, come on, man. Oh, my bad. You know 86? Benny Chester-Burton won the Heisman? Hey, come on, man. Oh, my bad. You didn't know that? Nah. Tim Brown won in 87. And then Barry. And then Audrey Ward.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Okay, let's go. Ty Detmer. Okay, but I get what you're saying. Then Desmond Howard. But okay. Aaron Owens says, what's're saying. Didn't Desmond Howard, but okay. Aaron Owens says, what's up, Uncle Nocho? When you first got to the league, what was the first DB to shut you down?
Starting point is 00:57:16 He's talking to you. Yeah, what's up, Uncle Nocho? When you got to the league, who was the first DB who shut you down? Ain't nobody shut me down when I first got there. On the back end, Revis had the day. That was about it. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 00:57:35 When I first got in the league, I didn't get a whole lot of playing time, so I didn't get my 15 plays. A lot of people shut me down because I wasn't getting no passes. Mainly it was Coach Reed because he wasn't getting no passes. Mainly, it was Coach Reed because he ain't called no plays for me. But, man, you know, back then on children, they, DBs were physical.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Oh, yeah. It wasn't no incidental contact. It wasn't none of that stuff. Man, look here. Man, them jerks put paws on you, man. You wasn't going nowhere. They was strong as hell. Man, shoot for Adele Carter
Starting point is 00:58:08 yeah DC him and uh he was in um with James Hasty he was in uh James Hasty he was there with Hasty uh the Raiders you know the Raiders always had DB they play straight man coverage though
Starting point is 00:58:24 I love playing the Raiders cause it wasn't look They played straight man covers, though. Yeah. I love playing the Raiders. Because it wasn't, look. You know what you did? It wasn't no secret. It wasn't no, oh, they're going to play cover four. They're going to play cover two. They're going to play 25.
Starting point is 00:58:36 They're playing straight man. First down, second down, third down. They're playing man. Hey, right there in front of you you go in motion he gonna follow your formation it ain't no secret what they were doing so I love the Raiders because
Starting point is 00:58:54 it wasn't a whole lot of studying right and then that was when you know hey look DB and Mike was like hey do whatever you want to do you can hold them oh man come on bro come on now And Mike was like, hey, do whatever you want to do. You can hold them. Oh, man. Come on, bro.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Come on now. They're grabbing you around the rest. Come on now. They're going to call that. But it definitely prepared us to get open. Isaiah Lancaster says, Uncle Nocho, which quarterback in the NFC for the playoffs do you trust the most? And who's more clutch in their sport as two great players Mahomes or Michael Jordan? Ooh, that Mahomes question. I'm going to come back to that. But the quarterback I trust most in the NFC would probably, would probably have to be golf, huh? I agree. That's what I
Starting point is 00:59:35 would say. I would say Jerry golf. Probably have to be golf. And listen, there would be nothing wrong with me saying Stafford as well, being that Stafford has already won a Super Bowl. So somebody I also trust, especially what he he has to work with offensively. I don't think he has as much around him like Detroit. Right. Because they're already going to be at a disadvantage on you, not to cut you off, because now the game's going to be played in Arizona.
Starting point is 00:59:56 So you've lost home field advantage. Whatever home field advantage you have, it's not like they really have one, because everybody in L.A. is a transplant. So there's not like, oh, man, I'm a die-hard Rams fan. No, it's not like they really have one because everybody in LA is a transplant. So there's not like, oh, man, I'm a die-hard Rams fan. No, it ain't like that. You know, like, you go to Detroit,
Starting point is 01:00:11 they're going to have a true home field advantage. You know, you go to Pittsburgh, you go to Baltimore, you go to Kansas City or Tampa, you're going to have a true home field advantage. Why don't you play at a neutral site? And it's not like the Rams have this overwhelming fan base to begin with.
Starting point is 01:00:30 They do travel, but they don't travel like a Steelers. They don't travel like an Eagles fan base. They don't travel like that now. I would not be surprised. The Eagles are going to play in goddamn Alaska. Yeah. Man, listen. Everybody from Philly is going to be in Alaska. Man, listen. Everybody from Philly
Starting point is 01:00:45 going to be in Alaska. Oh, yeah. The Eagles and the Steelers, they don't play. I wouldn't be surprised, Ocho, if the Vikings have more fans in Arizona than the Rams.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Well, you don't... Now it's the playoffs now, so I would think the Rams fans even those who haven't been fans throughout the year I think they will travel well I would hope especially now that they've made it to the playoffs Ocho I don't know if you've ever been to a Rams
Starting point is 01:01:15 home game there's always more visiting fans than the Rams fans yeah when they played the Vikings earlier in the season I was there there's more man I went to when they played the vikings earlier in the season i was there there's more i mean i went to i went to when they played the champion when they played sam fran ralph played sam fran in the championship game right there was more 49ers there was more red and gold right than it was blue and silver i mean blue and uh yellow yellow yeah i wonder why it's it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:01:45 You think maybe LA, is LA like Miami? They ain't coming. Yeah, it's a transplant. Yeah, ain't no natives. Right. They ain't coming to the game unless you winning. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Most of the fans, they grew up, they were Steelers fans, they were Packers fans, they were Cowboys fans, they were this fans, they were that fans. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:03 And so they moved here. And like, oh fans, they were that thing. Right. And so they moved here. Oh, our team's coming. Rams ain't really happy. Think about it. The Rams, they were in Anaheim, and they were in St. Louis. Right, right, right. No.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Miguel Ortiz says, Bo, the AFC West and the NFC North has three teams in the playoffs if you were to make a division versus division matchup mixing up all the players of the division to make a team wow that'd be really good
Starting point is 01:02:36 we ain't got no running backs I mean look if you take my homeboy and say he's your quarterback, let's just say you take Lamar. Man, they got Derrick Henry. They got Chase. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:57 They're cheating. Yeah, it is. They're cheating. They got, I mean, look, they got Hendrickson they got uh uh uh T.J. Watt oh yeah they got Roquan Smith I mean first of all the Ravens had nine pro bowlers and boy them boys stack the shit, man. And then you had Hendrickson made the pro bowl,
Starting point is 01:03:28 Chase made the pro bowl, and Joe made the pro bowl. Now, we might get y'all on linemen, because, you know, we got Creed Humphrey as the center, Tooney, the left guard.
Starting point is 01:03:43 Try to think. Left tackle, probably be Slater right tackle probably be Joe Alt yeah I think the FC North might win it every time
Starting point is 01:03:58 it'd be good I mean hey we got two tight ends I mean we got Kelsey and Brock Bauer which all got Andrews and likely.
Starting point is 01:04:10 But that'd be a good matchup. Dippington McGee, sup, Ocho, miss you guys. Live had to say those calling the bingo the team to beat were right. They got beat. Sorry, Ocho had to. Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down. Simmer down. Sorry, Ocho had to. Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Simmer down. Yeah, Ocho, y'all was... Listen, we out of it. I don't want to talk no more about Bengals. Yeah, what they talk about? We're just going to focus on the teams that are in the playoffs. Yeah, that's what we need to focus on.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Yeah, but it won't be the Broncos after Saturday, but go ahead. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you talking about Broncos? focus on. Yeah, but it won't be the Broncos after Saturday, but go ahead. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. Why are you talking about Broncos? I didn't. I said we won't have to talk about them after Saturday. Well, we got to talk about them up until Saturday. Guess who we don't got to talk about?
Starting point is 01:04:55 We haven't had to talk about them since Sunday. Whoa. And since you want to be nasty about it, where's my money? Since you want to be nasty about it where my money since you want to be nasty where my money chat y'all see that he being nasty and then got me my bread andrew said to your shame recent fires in la have impacted myself and my family.

I was there in 17 and 18 when they had the forest fires and they say it's 10 times worse than that and I can just oof and a lot of people had their fire

Starting point is 01:06:58 received? I think my kids. Kids? Kids, yeah. I think my kids kids? kids yeah oh lord yeah yeah cause they didn't
Starting point is 01:07:13 I'm trying to think about gifts cause I'm I'm really not into gifts I'm very very very very simple very simple when it comes to gift giving
Starting point is 01:07:21 because the things that I like and I enjoy that bring me pleasure are like stupid stuff that people would laugh at. Like, who cares about that? Like, but. You know. Damn, that's a good one, Uncle.
Starting point is 01:07:43 This picture, I don't know if you can see it but it's a picture of my brother and I at the Hall of Fame with my grandmother in the backdrop that's a good one it's on the wall in my bedroom fortunately I'm not in Cali currently but that would probably be the first thing.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Other than the dogs, that would be the first thing that I grab. Everything else, I mean, the trophies, the jerseys, all that stuff, Hall of Fame jacket. I mean, I can't replace the jerseys. I mean, I get replicas, but they're not the actual jerseys that I played in the game with. That's fine. But that picture, Teddy and Titus,
Starting point is 01:08:31 I'm getting them and then all this other ish. It is what it is. It is what it is. Hey, I got a question. Yeah. I mean, back to the LA Fires, I'm curious. Why were the fire insurances or whatever it may be, why were they canceled when fires always happen up in the hills like that anyway? If it's a recurrent thing, not very common.
Starting point is 01:08:55 The same reason that you guys, that Florida canceled a lot of flood insurance because hurricanes happen, floods going to happen. So if we know something's going to happen, we don't want to ensure the most likely thing to happen. It's tough, man. It's tough. Damn. Man, it's crazy. It is. It's crazy. is it's crazy it absolutely is
