Oh, Joe, you think training camp stores would be the biggest NFL topic of the day? But that's not true. Cam Newton responded to Ryan Clark. Hey,
Starting point is 00:02:22 listen to what Cam had to say. Hey. We want to attack the messenger, Ryan Clark. OK, let's pull up your stats. Second team, all SEC. We cannot relate. Undrafted in 2002, we cannot relate. Then you have one Pro Bowl in 2011.
Starting point is 00:02:38 We cannot relate. So if you want to unlock Petticam and everything that Cam Newton has ever said on this fourth in one show has always been Backed by mayor and logic but some way shape form people keep attacking cam the person or why he didn't jump on the fumble Why he didn't do this or comparing the contrasts? So when I compare and contrast you guys's statistics and Dan Olavsky Never mind, but as we keep going and we keep unlocking and keep poking the bear,
Starting point is 00:03:06 and y'all wanna play this game. Hey. Hey. Ryan Clark and my brother, Cam Newton, you know I love y'all. I love y'all to death. Let's keep it football. Let's keep it football. Let's keep it football.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Let's stay away from the personal shots. Let's stay away from the personal shots. Like, I look up to y'all, especially in the spaces in which y'all dominate. Talk in the game of football. Ryan Clark, you the Einstein of this shit. You the Einstein of this shit. Cam Newton, when it comes to playing
Starting point is 00:03:43 the quarterback position, you are well equipped to be able to critique Quarterbacks in this NFL that are playing today regardless of whether you want to Super Bowl or not You played it at very high level you're very successful at the position Fellas, let's let's keep it clean This ain't no boxing match. There's no need to get personal It's no need to talk about each other in any kind of way shape form of fashion Everyone loves the drama. They love that part. Let's keep it all about football. It's okay to have the difference in opinion. That's fine Yes
Starting point is 00:04:15 That's cams opinion though. I don't agree with it. Yeah, that's his opinion Yeah, I'm never gonna talk about what someone did or didn't do. Look, we all had our time. Whatever Shannon didn't do, whatever Ryan didn't do, whatever Cam didn't do, whatever Ocho didn't do, ain't nothing we can do about it now. Because ain't nobody going back out there to get one more tackle, getting one more form of recovery, catching a touchdown, getting another yard.
Starting point is 00:04:40 There's nothing else we can do. I agree with you, Ocho. And sometimes we do get carried away. What we do is that we don't like the message, so we try to destroy the messenger. Messenger, yeah. Okay. Excuse me. Ryan didn't agree with what Cam said. That's Cam's opinion. Cam looks at it like, look, I'm looking at it and he has Saquon, he has two top five receivers, he has a very good tight end, plus the best offensive line in football and
Starting point is 00:05:07 plays, but it's backed up by an outstanding defense. My only retort is there have been a lot of quarterbacks that had that. Yes, sir. And we never used that against them, but that's Cam's opinion. Yes, Cam, he had more, he had and has more to work with than you, But we can't diminish him because he has that. You don't believe because you said he has all these auxiliary, these, you know, he has the latest and greatest. He has he has Apple.
Starting point is 00:05:37 You know, he has all this stuff when we, you know, I'm saying, oh, Joe, we had the big we had the big brick phone. We had the Motorola. Yes. Had the little bag that we had to carry around. And it was three dollars the Motorola. Yes sir. We had the little bag that we had to carry around and and and it was $3 a minute. Yes sir. And then you had the Roman
Starting point is 00:05:51 charge. Mm hmm. So, if you left the area, it was that thing was Roman. Yes sir. I I I hate when it gets like this. Yeah. Uh uh uh uh because I believe I believe Ryan could make his point. I believe Cam can make his point. I don't. I don't. But listen, I will say this.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I will say this. What Ryan and Cam doing, that is entertainment. That is pure entertainment. It's great. It's awesome. Especially for the platform. What? Yeah, if you're trying to grow your platform, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 But they don't need to grow. They're growing. They're gonna grow regardless, based on the platform. Yeah, if you're trying to grow your platform. Yeah, but they don't need to grow. They're going to grow regardless based on the individuals. What the pivot is doing, awesome. What 4th and 1 is doing is awesome. So what I saw from them, from Ryan the other day and what I- Let me ask you a question. Under your logic, what do you think the most viewed topic is? What do you think Cam's most viewed topic is? What he had talked about or the Ryan Clark? It's probably gonna be this one. Yeah. Okay. So what do you the pivot? What you think the most viewed thing's gonna be? Whenever Ryan fires back? Thank you. Okay I mean, I'm I'm going to be you what I try to get you to do Yeah, us to do is that we stay away from that
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah, we no I I tell you to stay away from that. Yeah, we, no, I tell you to stay away from that. I'm, listen, I'm- What you mean, did I be stay away from it? I stay away from it. I'm on the fence. I'm always on the fence. You ain't on no fence. So listen, listen, at times, at times,
Starting point is 00:07:16 there comes when you have to say your piece and you gotta stand by me. It's not even gonna take, we ain't just gonna have anybody saying any old thing, man. We can't do that. But I would never, I would never, and I want them as fun as it may be, being able to pick at each other for wrongdoings and there are certain things that happen that you can't change in the past.
Starting point is 00:07:38 You just can't. I don't want them taking the personal shots at each other. I don't like that. Let's keep it football. Keep the topics football and both of them are well versed enough in the sport itself. We don't have to go the other route. They probably don't like me anyway, but they're going to do what they want to do. But still, that's just my- But that's how it is. Your most embarrassing moment is probably what you're going to be most remembered for.
Starting point is 00:08:06 They don't talk about Cam winning the MVP. They don't talk about Cam winning the Heisman. They don't talk about Cam. Think about it. Look at his team that won the Heisman Trophy. You tell me a team that had fewer NFL guys surrounding him than what Cam Newton team did when he won the national championship. I defy it. I'm more pounding him than what Cam Newton team did when he
Starting point is 00:08:25 won the national championship. I defied it. In the last 25 years, show me a team that won a national championship that have fewer NFL players than what Cam Auburn team. Mm hmm. I don't think he had a lineman to play. I think I think he might
Starting point is 00:08:43 have had a receiver that played had a cup of coffee. He had I think a might have had a receiver that played, had a cup of coffee. He had, I think, a defensive player to play. He didn't have, and like I said, just go back and look and see what Cam did. And look, and Joe had outstanding numbers. And there have been other guys, you look at two or one of national championship, there have been some guys that won national championship. What's the guy? Matt Jones, and last year. But you look at that Auburn team and you tell me
Starting point is 00:09:10 they should have won a national championship with that few NFL talent. So Cam has been great. Yeah, absolutely. He's been great. You can't take that away from him. I mean, anyone that don't get. No, but that's his, when he's looking at oh Joe, it's kind of like you look at a receiver and you say it and you say
Starting point is 00:09:30 Well, I like this receiver XYZ Mm-hmm people gonna find fault. Well, why don't you pick this guy? Well, well If you take it seriously stop worried about celebrations ain't no telling what you could have done You see they go nitpick because they don't like that you getting on somebody that they like So what they try to do is try to destroy the messenger, right? It's not the message. It's the messenger Yeah, so if I like the message out if I like the messenger, I'll receive the message Yeah, if I don't like the message Messenger, I won'll receive the message. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:05 If I don't like the message messenger, I won't receive the message. Right. And if I and guess what? In the message, uh you know what? Now, I'm going to turn against you. I don't like who gave it to me. Right. Yeah. I mean, that's that's
Starting point is 00:10:20 that's unfortunate. That's unfortunate. Hey, Hey, what up? Um Teddy Bear. Okay, Teddy Bear. They all look the same now. They don't. They don't. Teddy Bear. Get on camera twin. He he laid down. Hopefully he'll stay there. Yeah, it is tough. Oh, Joe, because look, it's gotten to the point that people don't want us to do our job, Ocho. And I think the thing is, is that more people like us do this now. Yeah, it used to be a time there was only a handful of guys that did this. If you weren't on CBS, if you weren't on ESPN, you didn't have an opinion. If you had retired because you didn't have a platform to share it if you weren't on those platforms right now there are more guys like you and myself that have platforms that are able to
Starting point is 00:11:10 share their opinion right see it used to be hey you ask you wanted guys that have played the game because before ocho when you when i played you played, well he ain't played a game. So how does he know? Now you get guys play the game. Now you get guys play the game at a high level. Now what's the excuse? You try to nitpick where you didn't win anything. Well hell, I don't want everybody to win because if everybody won, that devalues winning.
Starting point is 00:11:41 There should be a premium on winning. Winning championships, winning conference, winning the division, winning MVP. should be a premium on winning winning championships, winning conference, winning the division, winning MVP. If everybody does those things, what is the value in that? Right. And hold on. Wait. And
Starting point is 00:11:55 also where's the value? Sometimes you just happen to be part of a team that actually won. You didn't even do nothing. Yes. There's an asterisk sometimes. Yeah. All that winning. Oh, I got a ring. Well, yeah, you got a ring, but you ain't got a ring. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All rings are created equal.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Let's just start with that, and we understand that. But I'm not, look, I've been very fortunate to be on shows with a lot of guys, and I'm very fortunate that I won at a high level. I won championships. I went to the Pro Bowl, went All-Pro, and I got a gold jacket. But it's not like I wear it, I don't wear the rings.
Starting point is 00:12:33 That's not, honestly, Ocho, I try to give my honest opinion. Right. I understand what it takes to play this game at a high level, and it's not easy to be consistent, especially when they know you're the guy and they game plan for you. And you still have to find ways to make plays
Starting point is 00:12:53 and make your presence felt. But people kill me all the time. I was like, okay, I'm not saying the guy is bad. I got to take one. And it's easy to say, I would take both of them. Hell, anybody can do that. That's not why they pay you money to get your ass on TV to say, I'd like to have them both. Pick one. Oh, I got better. That is your opinion. I got better than that. I got better than that. You, you, you absolutely have, but you want, but Ocho,
Starting point is 00:13:20 they understand that you have a job to do. It's not like you dislike one. You're saying based on me playing in this league for over a decade. Me playing at the level in which I played and watching their games, I think this guy's a little better. But see, people don't hear that. People saying, well, you like him, you hate that. Ocho like mangoes.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Man, Ocho hate bananas. He hate oranges. He hate watermelon. No, bro, I said I like mangoes. I didn't say anything about hating the other fruit. Yeah, I've been listening. And for me, what I've gotten very savvy at, which I've been very good at, is my delivery.
Starting point is 00:14:02 It's not what I say is how I say it. Yes. I've mastered that a little bit to soften the blow because our players during this era, during this day, they're very sensitive. They're very sensitive. They are. So I've learned how to navigate
Starting point is 00:14:16 in saying things the right way where it's not offensive to them. Now, this year, now that I'm, I got my feet wet, so I understand that. Uh huh. I'm gonna be a little bit more upfront with people. Yeah. When it, when it doesn't look like it should look. You should. Yeah. Ocho, I mean, look, it's not like you a bum because they said they wanted people to play the game to critique the game. Okay, we're giving them guys that played at an extremely high level. That's me to critique the game. That's me.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Yes. But what happens is they know they can't run no bull jive on us because we did play the game for an extremely long time. And we did play at a high level. So now what are they going to say? Right. You right. Oh man. Oh Joe, you didn't win. No. Okay. No, I did not win at a high level, but just because I didn't win, that mean I wasn't that the mean I wasn't a damn good player. Hold on that. I ain't win no ring, but I won. Well, I'm saying that's what see they that's what they're looking at. Well, you I mean Cincinnati but here's the
Starting point is 00:15:26 thing though, Ocho. You went to Pro Bowl. You're an all pro. So somebody had to vote on those awards. They thought enough. They thought enough of you to put in your ass to Hawaii. They thought enough of you to be an all pro. And I led the AFC four
Starting point is 00:15:42 years in a row and y'all all while talking **** while they were game planing for me. That was me. But you know what has happened though, Jo? It doesn't matter how many great things you say, they only heard the bad. Yeah, yeah. They only hear the bad. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Bro, I'm not saying you're a bad person. I'm saying you had a bad game. I'm saying you had a bad stretch. So am I not, am I not a bad person. I'm saying you had a bad game. I'm saying you had a bad stretch. So am I not am I not allowed to say what I see? Right. People don't understand understands that X has a job to do. He's doing his job. He's not talking about me as a individual. He's talking about me, the player and my play on the field.
Starting point is 00:16:24 So I need to be able to differentiate between you the player and you the off the field person, right? I'm talking about I'm critiquing your plate drop passes lack of effort Terrible route things of that nature Getting blocked not getting off the block poor technique in the backfield Staring at the quarterback too long, as opposed to the guy that's running the route. That's what we're talking about. We're not talking about you as a individual,
Starting point is 00:16:54 we're talking about you the player. Right. And look, I get it. Cam ain't gonna let nothing slide. Uh-uh. Cam ain't gonna let nothing slide. Uh-uh. Cam ain't gonna let nothing slide. So y'all come for Cam, y'all already know. Duh, cause the grenade coming back.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Yeah. He gonna pick it up and throw it, but he gonna pick it up and throw it back. Hold on, hold on. Rye ain't gonna fire back now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Rye ain't gonna fire back now. So this is probably going to be an ongoing feud,
Starting point is 00:17:28 which is entertaining. This is great. This is probably going to be an ongoing feud, which is entertaining. This is great entertainment. This is great for the pivot. This is great for fourth and one. It's great for all parties involved. Listen, me, I'm on the sideline enjoying it and tell them, y'all go to your corners, go to your respective corners. Right. Keep it about football.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yes. Training never started. Yes. Because Cam is looking at it, is that he was put about football training. Yes. Yes. Because you see him is looking at it is that he was asked to do more. Right. Because he didn't have a running back like Saquon. He didn't have an offensive line what they have. And he didn't have to receive it like Devante and AJ. Yes, he came. You were asked to do more. But because you were asked to do more, that doesn't mean Jaylen isn't a good quarterback. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:10 I mean, he's a top 10. Now, if you want to say he's top five, okay, fine. We can debate that, but a top 10 quarterback? I can't, I can't, I can't jive with that one. Yeah. I mean, listen, I said it before when we talked about it the other night, what Jaylen hurts his ass to do for the Philadelphia Eagles, he does extremely well. What Jalen Hurts is asked to do within the confines of that offense,
Starting point is 00:18:34 he does extremely well. People complain. Well, and I said it, I said it on the way they play offensively, it's not aesthetically pleasing. He's not up Lamar Jackson numbers. He's not putting up Baker, Baker Mayically pleasing. He's not putting up Lamar Jackson numbers. He's not putting up Baker Mayfield numbers. He's not putting up Joe Burrow numbers. That's not the way that offensive skiing works. It's not the way it works. That's it. You do realize it's hard to play the way he plays because he has to check his ego because he makes $50 million a year. And now I've got to swallow my ego because I know people on talk radio and I know people on television is gonna say Jalen Hurts
Starting point is 00:19:07 couldn't do it and look my thing was I was saying he's gonna have to play better than what he's playing he was turning the ball over at an alarming rate he was and they were and he was playing bad you look at the postseason when it hit he played better than at any point in time. Yes, and that's okay But to say I grade game to game and that's what you love about sports, right? Because you get to update your resume each individual every week. It's not like a red light. Oh Joe my resume good They say update your resume every six months in the real work for it But that's not how it is in pro sports
Starting point is 00:19:42 You update your resume every single week if you play a weekly sport. Now, if you play basketball, you update that mofo every night. Yeah. You play baseball, it's the same thing. You understand that, but people that like, oh, you said pro, I got a new set of facts. Yeah. So when Jalen Hurst was throwing for 100 yards, did he look like what he looked like in the Super Bowl? Did he look like what he looked like in the NFC Championship game? No! Come on now.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Y'all want to hold, oh, oh, oh, he's playing better. Yes, he played better. When he played better, we spoke better about it. Yeah. Hey, hey, when everybody goes in training camp, right? Every team, two teams that reported this week on the 22nd on the 19th, whatever it may be. What is the end goal for every team that went to training camp this week? They won. They say Super Bowl. Some of them fooling themselves. Some of them know damn well they ain't got no chance to win the Super Bowl. But lie. Sometimes coach the the
Starting point is 00:20:48 the the the the the the exact quarterback that Ryan and Kam are talking about. They have a chance to go back again. Yes. And as long as no one howling and no one Mr. Lurie, they might have a chance to go back a third goddamn time. Yes. The owners, it starts at the top. They mean business. They're not talking. They actually mean business and they put their wallet.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Man, let me, I'm gonna leave it alone. I'm gonna leave it alone. Yeah, I mean, look, sometimes, Ocho going to a great franchise is just like sometimes being born into a great family. You ain't do ish. You just happen to be, you just happen to be born to a family that's worth hundreds of millions or billions of dollars he went to a great franchise they took look he was second round to pick dad just gave Carson Wentz over a hundred million dollars yeah so give Howie Roseman some credit yeah I have a question give Jalen Hurts some credit that he went there kept his head down it's like when the opportunity presented itself he took full advantage of it just like he did at Alabama and after Tua came in and took the got the job from him, he went
Starting point is 00:22:09 to Oklahoma and played extremely well and played himself because had he stayed in Alabama, he wasn't gonna be a second round pick. He had to show that he could throw the football. He did that when he went to Oklahoma kudos to it. Right. I got a question. Yes. Y'all hear me chat. I know y'all looking at me real quick. I have a, I'm just, I'm just throw a hypothetical out there real quick. Um, this for you too. If you were to switch owners, right? Yes. If you were to take Harry Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie and put them on the Cowboys and put Jerry Jones in Philadelphia, how many Super Bowls would the Cowboys have right now? With Jerry Jones? If you take Jeffrey Lurie and Harry Roseman and you give them the Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Oh, they won. Yeah, multiple. Yes. And the Eagles and the Eagles wouldn't be nowhere near the playoffs. It would nowhere be near the Super Bowl. Absolutely. Okay. See the difference is Jeffrey Lurie. See, you don't realize how good you can be if you don't care who gets the credit. See Jerry wants the credit. You don't hear how I Roseman doing a whole but I mean uh uh Jeffrey Lurie doing a whole bunch of talking and we do after you don't hear you don't hear Clark Hunt. You
Starting point is 00:23:19 don't hear Clark Hunt doing talking. You don't hear Stan Cronk doing talking. You don't hear Stan Cronkey doing talking. But that's Jerry, look, be who you are. And everybody keeps talking about, oh, but he got three Subos. He got two, he got two of them with Jimmy and the other one with Jimmy's players. Since Jimmy has been removed from, how many he's got? How many times have they gotten close?
Starting point is 00:23:43 Y'all got to the playoffs, like, yeah, we just saw a year. Y'all say that every year. Because he won't get in the way. No, ain't no questions about it. No question. Even if he had Patrick Mahomes, it doesn't matter. He could have Patrick Mahomes, he could have Kansas City's roster,
Starting point is 00:24:01 he could have Baltimore's roster. It's about, you don't hear Steve Bichotti? Oh yeah. Do y'all even know that Steve Bichotti, if you're a Baltimore, you know, Raven, you are a Baltimore fan, you know who Steve Bichotti is. Yeah, yeah. But for the most part, he stays out of the way.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Ozzy and Eric DeCosta run the show. See, Jerry wants credit. That's the difference between owners that win. Look at Eddie DiBartolo. Look at the Rudy, look at the team. Mr. Kraft. Coach Belichick ran the team. Coach Mr. Kraft was perfectly fine
Starting point is 00:24:43 with Coach Belichick getting the credit. You go back and look at Eddie DeBartolo when they was winning in San Francisco. Carmen policy did all everything. And he had Bill Washington, he had George Seeper. Go back and look at the Rooney's in the 70s. Bill Nunn Jr. that was, yeah, Radio Raheem daddy, you don't know that. Radio Raheem daddy was the one that was selecting the players. Bill Nunn Senior. Bill Nunn Junior was Radio Raheem.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I like it. See Jerry wants to be the new age Al Davis. I like it. See, Jerry wants to I'm not going to be happier but yeah, we we're not we're not we're not we're not you want to get out here. Hey, look who it is. Look who it is. Oh, Joe. Who that? Hey, there you go. What's up? What did you
Starting point is 00:25:59 twin? What you doing up this time of night? Yeah. Good question. What you doing up this time of night? He says I don't go to bed around nine nine thirty. He said Titus goes to bed at 730 8 o'clock. on four with him. What's up twin? Say what?
Starting point is 00:26:22 I like it. I like it. Say we went for a car ride today. Tell Ocho we went for a car ride today. Bark. Bark. You want to catch? No, please don't bark. Don't start that. It's over here. Oh, what a beautiful day. Yeah. Check out Behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club.
Starting point is 00:26:54 We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved. San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like, you're building a team from scratch. And so the succession plan of long-term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain, just watching
Starting point is 00:27:26 the fans jumping up and down. I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life.

Starting point is 00:30:23 Okay, Jayler Hurst was asked if he will open up his play style more now that he's won a Super Bowl. He said, no, I went a very long time being told I gotta do it a certain type of way. That didn't get me the win when I did how everyone told me to. When you put so much energy into personal performance, you kind of lose sight of the main thing of winning since the 2020 since the loss in 2022. It's been my main motivation to find ways to win regardless of how it looks. I just want to find ways to win and that mentality.
Starting point is 00:30:57 I want this team to have. I like it. Perfect answer. I know a guy who who won a bunch of bunch of bunch of games, a bunch of games, a bunch of championships doing it that way. Tom Brady. Yeah. putting the team. Y'all remember Tom Brady in his first Super Bowl? Didn't

How many yards did he throw for? You see winning but now they won't jail or hurt the goddamn be like Patrick Maher man. We need you to throw for 400. I throw for 400 we lose then what are we doing? Nothing. It just look good until you look at it until you look

Starting point is 00:31:55 I'm dressed to the nine. Nowhere to go. I ain't got nowhere to go. So he throw for all them yards and they lose, now what? The most yards ever thrown for in the Super Bowl game Tom Brady has it. What was the outcome? Loss. 505. Loss.

I'm trying to finish camp the right way and then get ready for the bills. I'm trying not to think about the Super Bowl yet. I like that. And I hate when reporters ask those questions, thinking so far ahead, one game at a time. every player should be thinking one game at a time We already know at the end they only ask guys that have won the Super Bowl you think they were you think they asked
Starting point is 00:55:10 Did they ever ask Tom Brady about the Super Bowl? No, did they ask Patrick Mahone about Super Bowl? No, they only asked the quarterbacks the great quarterbacks that haven't won it. Guess what Lamar Jackson win They'll never ask him about 26. They won't ask about 27. If Joe Burrow, if Josh Allen, or I guarantee you, they don't ask Jaylen Hurst about those Super Bowl in 25. Right. You gotta be done it. Right, yeah. You won't, you, Ocho, until you do it,
Starting point is 00:55:40 oh, he can do that, but until you show people you can do it. They're gonna be on your head. I don't think it's a good question to ask. You know what it is. We all in the training camp, we all have the same goal once we get to camp. The end goal is to make it to the Super Bowl. We already know why. We know why we fell short.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Turnovers. We understand that. We all watch the game. I mean, a reporter, I know I understand reporters have a job to do. Let's talk about this season. Let's talk about this season. Let's talk about week one. They go straight to the finish line.
Starting point is 00:56:16 We don't want to go straight to the finish line. Let's talk about who we got week one and who we're preparing for. I mean, but Anthony to hear. It's funny that, man, I ain't think about it now. I ain't think about week one. But see, it was different then, Ocho, cause we was playing in the pre-season.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Right. So it wasn't no think about no week one. I'm just trying to get through training camp. I'm trying to get through these pre-season games healthy. And then when week one rolled around, I worry about week one. But I'm trying to stay healthy in training camp. I ain't trying to get no blisters.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I ain't trying to get no dings. And I ain't trying to get no dings and I ain't trying to get dinged when I get when I in preseason game. Because like I said, Ocho, you know, you got 10 plays in the first game. You got, you know, probably 15, 20 plays in the second game and you played into the third quarter the third game, the fourth game you set out. Wow. Yep. So I wouldn't, you know, now these guys,
Starting point is 00:57:05 cause Lamar, there's a good chance Lamar might not play. If he plays, he'll probably play 10 plays the entire preseason. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, I thought I could be wrong. I thought I saw some saying that Joe was gonna play a little bit more in the preseason. Well, he should, cause y'all start slow.
Starting point is 00:57:24 So something has to change, change something up for Joe. Well, he should, because y'all start slow. So something has to change. Change something up, Ocho. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just play a few more staffs to get more acclimated to the game scene, as opposed to just going in there week one and trying to play catch up. Where I think every time a season starts, the defense is always ahead of the curve
Starting point is 00:57:43 in front of offenses. Because all they got to do- Well, defense is always going to be ahead of the curve, front of offenses. Cause all they got- Wait defense is always gonna be ahead of the curve. Just like when we got the training camp Ocho because they're reacting. Our stuff is timing. It takes time to get timing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Jalen Ramsey was asked outright if he would play safety. He said he'd be willing to, but also included an interesting detail. I'm not getting paid what I'm getting paid not to affect the game and be in certain spots. I like that. That's a bar. That is a bar.
Starting point is 00:58:10 They not paying me this much money not to be able to affect the game. And where can a player affect the game best at? At the corner position. Well, unless you Ed Reed. Well, there ain't going to be no Ed position. Well, let I ain't never seen a guy take the ball away like him. He was different Hey to buy a true true student of the game he can tell you before we do it CD lamb needed to get something off his chest today. Oh Joe Oh, I feel like it
Starting point is 00:58:57 I feel like the league knows what happens when I'm healthy and I have that for a whole season But if you don't I will happily show you what's going to be like this year. Honestly, I'm healthy and I have that for a whole season. But if you don't, I will happily show you what's going to be like this year. Honestly, I'm a dominant receiver. I don't like to speak highly of myself, but I can't wait to show you guys. I like it. CD and George Pickens debuted a new handshake. Let's take a look at this, Ojo.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Let's go. They threw some up. I don't know what they threw up. Finally, we got something to look forward to. If you're a Cowboys fan, you got something to look forward to. Look it, listen, it's going to be exciting. Offensively, it's going to be exciting. It's going to be fireworks. Goddamn, George picking his E.
Starting point is 00:59:29 All right, I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E.
Starting point is 00:59:37 I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to go with the E. I'm going to be exciting. Offensively, it's going to be exciting. It's going to be fireworks.
Starting point is 00:59:45 God damn George picking his E. All right, I almost said elite. He's good. Very good. If he got his head on straight and he keep the man he keep. I'm glad, Ocho, because we throw around that elite. We throw around that elite. I know. I almost slipped up.
Starting point is 01:00:01 I almost slipped up. Listen, if he keep the main thing, the main thing this season over there in Dallas, not only is he going to have a great season along with Ceezy Lamb and Dak, he's going to have a nice payday at the end of this season and it won't be over there. It ain't got to be the Cowboys. They don't need to be there. They don't need to be there. He can go somewhere else and be a number one and do what he needs to do.
Starting point is 01:00:22 He doesn't see anybody else get paid. And he was supposed to be right in line next. So this is your year. Well, kicking the can down the road ain't gonna help that with Micah. Cause how you gonna pay Micah? Cause Micah, cause see here's the thing. You signed Micah last year before this 35, you might can get it for 35.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Yeah. Now you have to go to 42, 43. Yeah, it's unfortunate, man. It's unfortunate. for thirty-five. Yeah. Now, you the you ready to go with that? Yeah. You think the Cowboys are gonna have a disappointing season? No, no. I don't know what they're gonna do on defense. I can tell you what they're gonna do on offense though. As long as Dak stays upright and healthy, I can tell you what they're gonna do on offense though.
Starting point is 01:01:36 I know what C.D. Lamon gonna do. I know what George Pickens gonna do. I know what's gonna happen. I wish they would, I wish they would double CD and Watching we got to understand George picking is something I can go from he can hit his head off the goalpost from anywhere on the field I don't see any plants. I don't seem to take hitches. He can go think he can do it all man You know Hopefully he has his head on he's in a great situation
Starting point is 01:02:02 Hopefully he has his head on. He's in a great situation. Quarterback that can get him to football. Yeah. They wanted him. And so hopefully, you know, all the bad tastes all the things that happened in Pittsburgh. He left that there and he comes with a new slate in Dallas. Dr. Frank L Bellamy, what up doc?
