Hey, hey, um,

yes, you heard me?

Hey, I got um

right now I got chills, chills on the inside.

You know what I'm talking about?

But I got the AC off, but I'm cold on the inside.

And that is that's crazy.

Oh, yo, I talked about this a little earlier, but while you were trying to connect, yeah.

Cam Ward gets into a scuffle with Jeffrey Simmons at camp.

I like it.

Ward threw a touchdown pass to Cavin Ridley towards the end of practice and went over to celebrate.

The rookie quarterback stopped and gave Simmons a shove before doing his trademark zombie land celebration in front of him.

Simmons reacted with a two-hand shove to Ward's face mask.

The offensive line came running to Ward's defense.

You like the Cam Ward picking a fight with Jeffrey Simmons?

Yeah, absolutely, because it's nothing serious.

It's nothing serious.

They've been going at it the past two weeks.

You know, there was an altercation between Jeffrey Simmons and Cam Ward earlier in camp.

I think when the defense must have been beating up on him real, real good, and Cam shot back at him.

So them having fun going back and forth.

I mean, it's cool.

It's cool.

It's all camaraderie.

You know, and I think it's going to pay off, pay dividends when they have to play against somebody else.

Obviously, Cam Ward has looked phenomenal.

Let me ask you.

Drinker Patrick shivers you, two hands shivers you to your face mask.

You cool?

You walking back to the huddle?

Yeah, I don't think he did it that hard.

I just asked you a simple question.

The man, two hands, shivers you to your face mask, or you just turn around, walk into the huddle.

It's a simple yes or no.

No, no, no, no, no, we're gonna have a little fun,

you have to understand that there's a report there, and obviously, when you see it, you understand, okay, that's lighthearted, that's them two boys going at it as far as from a competing standpoint, not I'm shoving your face trying to knock your head off.

Is it different,

man?

Look here,

that's a D-limer.

Anything a D-linemer do, yeah, because think about think about the moves they use to get to try to beat the offensive lineman, don't you?

Yeah, oh, hold on.

Hey, this is just not any D-lineman.

This is the

preeminent DT.

Yes.

Hey, listen, they've been going at it all camp.

So

all right, we got to have one, another one, Coach Prime punishment for any player that hits the quarterback.

For players who violate the rule, consequences range from up down to stadium runs.

Ocho,

this old school way of coaching, considering the NIL guy jumping in and out of transfer portal, it's getting harder and harder to coach players because, hey,

you talk sideways to me.

I'm up out of here.

You think this will

work with time?

Hey, absolutely, absolutely.

Because I don't listen, even even if players can jump in and out, even if players can jump in the portal, people want to go play for Deion Sanders.

This is Deion Sanders.

This is Deion Sanders.

So, you understand what that comes with.

You understand the discipline that he expects out of you to be at your best.

So, if it comes down to having to run goddamn stadium stairs, if you hit the quarterback, then so be it.

Because if you get into a game, if you do it in practice, then you're going to do it in the game.

So, if it takes running the stadium stairs and doing whatever else you need to do to get that out of your system, like Shamar Stewart with Joe Burrow last week,

so be it.

Because they're not going to tolerate it the next level, so don't tolerate it here.

I agree.

Ocho, are we living in the golden age of the National Football League?

Percentage of games decided by seven points of fewer.

The historic average is around 45, about 46%.

Look at where it is now.

39.

Now, when we talk about these averages.

No.

From 1970 to 74, it was 39.23%.

20 to 24, it's almost 49%.

That's almost a 10% tick up.

Wait,

that's a good thing, ain't it?

Yes.

Okay.

That's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm saying.

It's the golden age.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No blowouts.

The games are coming down to the end.

It's a one-score game.

That's what we're looking for.

We're looking for a one-score game.

not that what we saw in the super bowl oh i you know you know what's funny i i don't i don't think we don't have any any more teams around right now that are able to dominate offensively week in and week out where they're going to be blowouts even though even though the the nfl in general is favored for the offense yeah i think that's it was done on purpose to make the games a little bit more fun to allow the points to be a lot of people like points hey yeah make it no different than home runs in baseball

I ain't going to look here.

Didn't they change the ball?

The pursuits would say, oh, Joe, in baseball, people, the purists say, man, I want to see a one-nothing ball game.

I want to see 12-11.

That's what I want to see.

With home runs.

You know, NBA, people want to see 133 to 130.

Ain't nobody trying to say, I remember the game used to be 77, 72.

Right.

Man,

four quarters?

Now you got guys scoring 70 points by themselves when the team in four quarters couldn't get to 70.

So points

they've made it more conducive.

Right.

Because now you look at you look at baseball, home runs, this going this way, batting average going that way.

Strikeouts going this way.

But they want to see the ball go over the fence.

Yeah.

Basketball, they want to see the ball go in the hoop.

That's why they keep jacking up threes.

And football, they won't scoring.

Yeah.

That's why they handicapped the defense too, huh?

Protect the quarterback, protect the receiver.

Yeah.

Entice them to throw the football.

Because if I'm paying a guy 60 million,

I'm paying the wide receiver 40 million.

Think about it.

The highest paid running back is basically making $20 million less than the highest paid wide receiver.

So what does that tell you to try to do, Ocho?

Throw the damn ball.

Oh, yeah.

And your quarterback making 60, 55, 60.

I'm not paying Joe Burrow no $55 million

to have him turn around and hand the ball off 35 times a game, Ocho.

I'm not doing it.

I'm sorry, and you understand why he's in the gun 98% of the time.

Yes,

so that's what the league wants to see.

But I'm glad, unless somebody, you know, you turn the ball over now.

You turn the ball over, Ocho, the game can get out of hand, like we saw with Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

But normally, if it's not, if it's a

you know,

teams are right there comparable

Oh, Joe, DraftKings built the NFL team of the best nicknames of all time.

Who should be added?

Okay, you got the Honey Badger, Tyron Matthew.

You got Ted Hendrix, who is the mad stork, Sean Merriman, lights out.

You got Hacksaw, Jack Reynolds, you got the Tasmanian Devil.

You got the assassin, Jack Tatum, you got Prime.

You got Ed Tutal Jones.

Uh-huh.

You got the fridge,

William Perry.

You got the kitchen, Nate Newton.

You got the Minister of Defense, Reggie White, rest his soul.

Dick Knight, Terrain Lane, rest his soul.

And then you got Andre Bad Moon Rising.

You got Big Phil, Highway 63, Gene Upshaw,

Bag of Donuts, Pork Chop,

The Intellectual Assassin.

I don't know about him.

Megatron, Megatron, got a cool.

Legatron, Beast Mode, Broadway Joe,

the Face Cleaver, and the Avatar.

Jimmy Graham.

Is that Jimmy Graham as the avatar?

Yes, yes.

I mean, listen, all of these NFL nicknames are good.

They're all good, but we all know who the best nickname is of all time.

They ain't got you up there, Ocho.

Oh, that's defense.

I guess we got to ask them.

No, they got offense.

They got offensive.

Andre Risen.

Yes, andreamoon.

Yeah, they had nicknames, but I really embodied what it meant to have a nickname by actually changing my name and reinventing myself.

in the prime of my career.

That was from a branding, marketing aspect, which makes it obviously the greatest nickname of all time because I really bought in to the character in general, and that character in general has carried me years

beyond the game of football.

Hell, I ain't took a snap in goddamn 37 years,

but

these are all.

I mean,

I like the intellectual assassin.

Who is that that played for the Chargers?

Is that Ron Mix?

The intellectual assassin, that's a good one.

Hey, you know, they don't even have, they don't, I mean, they don't have Walter Pay, they even got sweetness on there.

The intellectual say, but hey, listen, Ocho Senko, I mean, it's, it speaks for itself, the greatest nickname of all time.

Because I actually, I was 8-5, and when it changed the name, huh?

I saw a vision.

Like when I do spoken word, there's a vision.

There's a vision long-term where

if you're not in deep thought with me, you're not going to understand it.

Who's the intellectual assassin?

I ain't never heard of him.

I mean Bambi

Who is Bambi with Lance Allworth was with

the Chargers.

Okay, okay, okay.

Oh, he did he ran he ran like he ran like a

Jack Tater was the assassin.

Yeah, yeah, no the intellectual assassin

The Chargers.

He was the Chargers.

John

Jack Tater, rest his soul.

He's out of Ohio State.

I thought it was Ron Mix.

I think he played.

I think Ocho, I think he played like 12 years and had two holding penalties in 12 years.

That's it?

Yeah, thank you.

That's exactly what I said.

Jeddah, Justin Jefferson returns to practice.

His first time in 25 days, he continues to recover from a left hamstring strain.

He suffered last month.

He has a history of hamstring injuries.

He missed seven games in 2023 because of a hamstring strain to the other leg.

Prompted the Vikings to take a slow approach to his recovery.

Today, he participated in warm-ups, individual drills, but sat out 7-on-7, 11-on-11.

Jefferson won't play in the Vikings' final preseason game, but do expect to start week one.

Yeah, he got some imbalances or something.

He needs to get that looked at.

Yeah, yeah.

What do you think it is, especially when it comes to soft tissue injuries like that?

Where do you think that comes from?

Because I don't think he has an injury history.

Yeah, I don't, and he don't look like he quad dominant.

Sometimes, if a muscle overpowers the other, it will pull, it will pull.

So, if you know, you quad dominant sometimes or something.

So, he might, I mean, he might need to get his hips, he might be out of line or something.

Yeah, yeah.

If you're fatigued, the muscle, you know, weak, weak muscles pull.

Right.

But I mean,

you're dealing with elite athletes, and so I know they have the best physio and the best everything around.

He might, you know, maybe his mechanics are off or something, but he might need to take a look at that.

Hey,

I'm not going to say nothing.

I'm not going to say nothing.

Obviously, you know my stance when it comes on to soft tissue injuries, you know my stance on when it comes to getting hurt, but we know how valuable Justin Jefferson is to that team.

And I'm glad he took 25 days and they went slow with him.

I think he's a player that training camp would be beneficial, but to get him back 100% healthy.

So he's one, he's not one that needs training camp like that.

But I don't want him having to go from zero to 100, huh?

without having to wear and tear that training camp ring because what's going to happen?

You get to get him pulled and pushed.

That tug.

That's why I used to hey, guys, man, don't tug me.

Yeah.

Hey, if I beat you, just let me go.

I'm pulling Ocho and you tug me.

Yeah.

Now I'm going to turn around and swing on you.

That's a tough division because we saw the Bears, and you and I both think the Bears are going to be better this year than they were last year.

Absolutely.

You believe you say, hey,

the Lions, I don't see them taking a step back.

No,

I don't.

Then the Packers.

You like the Packers.

Jordan Love, that receiving court, Josh Jacobs.

So that is a very tough division.

You could ill afford.

Now, they're already going to be the first three games.

They're going to be without Jordan Addison because of some issues that he had off the field.

So they're going to be without him.

And the last thing that you need to happen, a guy coming back from a soft tissue injury, and he retweaks it because now he's probably going to be down double the amount of time that he missed to begin with.

Exactly.

Yeah.

I hope he gets healthy.

I hope he stays healthy because

I want to see him on the field.

Bless you.

Thank you.

That man doesn't cover it.

He covers his mouth after he done sneeze.

Hey, shoot.

Excuse me.

Like, damn.

It creeped up on me.

I know it was coming.

I didn't know it was coming.

Oh.

You didn't know what's coming, huh?

No.

He made a look pure ale.

What's that?

Pure ale.

Why are you using that?

I'm all the way in Miami.

I may get you sick.

I'm all the way in Miami.

Hey.

Boy, that thing you got right there that day said, you might have Ebola.

I don't know.

I ain't lie.

I don't know that what they say.

They said they died in Liberty City.

Say a monkey.

Say a monkey got escaped.

Yeah.

Say the monkey had Ebola.

Say one of them dudes from Liberty City bit the monkey.

The monkey bit him.

He had Ebola.

Right.

And the monkey died.

So the monkey got Ebola, he beat the dude from Liberty City.

What he got?

Okay, you right.

You right.

You right.

Ain't no telling.

Ain't no telling.

Ain't no telling.

I'm just trying to figure out how you sneeze and then cover your mouth and say, excuse me.

It snuck up on me.

I didn't know it was coming.

Like, that's what happened, Uncle, when you really, when you're really sick, you don't, you know, it feels like I got a fever.

I thought you didn't get sick.

How you getting sick and you eat fast food?

You ain't supposed to get sick, remember?

I know.

I'm probably going to be like this under one day.

Matter of fact, you can hear my voice i sound like barry white tonight you hear most of the time when i talk i had i got a high a high pitched squeaky voice but tonight i sound like like really sexy like for radio nah i'm just trying to figure out you told me right chat y'all done heard this man say eating a big max and eating all that fast food he don't get sick

I'm just trying to figure out what's really going on.

That's it.

Well, technically,

I'm not sick.

I'm still here.

This is a minor setback.

Are you sick?

Did you not say you sick?

You just told us when you signed on that you was sick.

Yeah.

I'm good.

So are you or are you not sick?

Yes or no?

Yes, at like halfway, because if I was sick, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be on here.

So I'm able to do, I'm able to work.

So I'm not sick, sick.

So there's a difference.

So

if you work from home, if you work from home and sick and you can't work.

Right.

Something really going on.

Yeah, yeah, I understand.

But some people, some people, when they get sick, sick, even if they are home, they can't do nothing.

They can't function.

See, I'm fighting through it.

I'm fighting through it.

My body, on the inside, you know, my immune system, they in there like this.

Right.

And they in there going to work.

So on the outside, I'm cold.

But on the inside, I mean, on the inside, I'm cold.

But on the outside, I got the AC off and I'm sweating.

But on the inside, I got chills.

I mean, it's weird.

So this doesn't happen to me often

at all.

So I'm going to be all right.

I'm going to be all right, though.

man.

And Ocho, you know what?

I hate, I hate when guys always, I'm a firm believer.

If you limp into season, Ocho, you know how you're coming out of it.

You're limping out of it, baby.

You're limping out of it.

I just hate, I hate that for Joe.

Because, man, you're talking about off to a historic start.

Absolutely.

Oh, my gosh.

I think it's going to continue, though.

I think it's going to be all right.

It's going to continue.

I don't, I don't, like I said, that's that's an extremely tough division.

You could ill afford to have him and Addison out.

Plus, you got J.J.

McCartney, who's in his second year, but this really is first year starting.

Right.

You're asking an awful lot.

You're asking an awful lot of a young quarterback to go out there

and to do what you need him to do.

What I just wanted to say,

I just hope Ajeta can stay healthy for the entire season.

They're going to need him.

They got no chance.

They got no chance.

Remember,

KJ Osborne is in Washington.

Washington now, yeah.

Addison's going to miss the first three.

And then, you know,

he warmed up today, but like you said, he didn't do 707.

He didn't do 11 on 11.

And he's not going to play in the final preseason game, which is Friday or Saturday.

Right.

So, boy,

and it's just a turn.

Hey, and then in 10 days, just go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm hoping.

I'm hoping he's going to be all right.

You too?

Because like I said,

he's on a historic pace.

Historic.

The numbers that he's put up as far as yards, as far as catches, it's just,

we haven't seen anything like it.

We haven't seen anything like it.

And

like I said, I mean,

he's going to have to go see some specialists and see what he's doing wrong that causes, to keep causing these soft tissue injuries.

Because you know another guy, you know what?

He need to call Joey Galloway.

Ask Joey Galloway what he did.

Yeah,

Joey was hurt CR.

See, Joy was a speed guy.

Joy running 4-2.

Joy running too fast.

So we got, like, are we going, we're going to burn him out in practice or are we going to let him take a couple of plays and then save that for the game?

Right, right, right.

I think Isaac Bruce dealt with some hamstring injuries also.

I'm not sure.

So that's definitely a situation that he might need to go.

Hey, hey, guys, you know, y'all dealt with some hamstring injuries.

How did you go?

How did you go about it?

You know, yeah, how did you play such a long time and get over those?

Debate started on IG.

Which year had the best quarterback class?

2018, you got Mayfield, Darnall, Allen, and Jackson versus Joe Burrow, Herbert.

Woo!

2018, 2020, Ocho, what you got?

Hey, that's a good one.

That is a good one.

That's a good one.

You got three MVPs MVPs

in one draft class.

And you got a guy that's been to the Super Bowl and a guy that's been to the Super Bowl twice.

You got two guys have been to three Super Bowls.

Yeah.

And one guy's one and one Super Bowl MVP.

So what you going with, Ocho?

Ooh, that's hard.

God damn, that's hard.

I mean, listen,

I'm going to have to go to 2020.

I mean,

there's one Super Bowl champion down there.

There's one Super Bowl champion down there.

Listen, I know Lamar winning MVP, Josh Allen winning MVP.

But I think Josh Allen MVP is like, here, damn.

It's one of those, one of those moments.

But yeah, I got to go.

I mean, the ultimate goal at the end of the day.

is to win a Super Bowl.

Joe's been the one.

He didn't win it because they cheated us on their fourth and one call on Logan Wilson.

Hey, did nobody cheat y'all ass.

That wasn't past interference.

That wasn't passing the fear.

Oh, Eli Apple on what you call him on

a.

No, I'm talking about Logan Wilson on Cooper Cup on that.

Yeah, come on, Ocho.

Nah, nah, nah, nah.

Other than that, I'm going to go to.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go with 2020.

Yeah, 2020.

I think you almost have to because if you look at player for player, okay,

better quarterback class.

Just better, just to just

it's harder than you think,

yeah.

But Sam, Sam Darnold messing it up for 2018, right

because Baker's had a resurgence.

You look at Baker, what he's done the last two years.

Josh Allen, outside of his rookie year, has been sensational.

Lamar Jackson came in, even as a rookie off the bench, and he's been sensational since the day he got there.

Ooh, bad damn.

Yeah, I like it.

I like it a lot.

Like, I got to go with Jalen simply because he got what everybody is yearning for, and the ultimate goal when you get the training camp.

I got to agree with you.

I mean,

if you go player for player.

Now,

you can get ridiculous with it and move the goalposts and try to say skill and arm talent.

Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.

And then now that changes things up when you start getting a little bit more detailed

in who the better class is.

But again, people will move the goalposts based on their preference and what they like in said quarterback.

Each class got a number one overall pick.

Baker was number one.

Joe Burrow was number one.

Sam Donnell was number three.

Justin Herbert was what?

Number six?

Sam Donnell was three.

Justin Herbert was what?

Six?

Six.

Six.

Jordan Love was like 20, 20, what?

26.

Josh Allen was seven.

Lamar Jackson was 32.

Jalen Hurts was in the second round.

Oh, Tua was in the 2020.

Wow.

Tour was in the 2020 also, Joe.

Oh, he was?

Yeah.

Remember,

he went before Herbert.

Yeah.

Can I catch 1983?

Ooh.

I don't know.

I don't know about that.

Because

in 1983, you had Elway in the hall, Jim Kelly's in the hall,

John's in the hall.

So you got three Hall of Famers there.

John went to five Super Bowls, Elway went to one Super Bowl, Kelly went to four Super Bowls.

So that's 10 Super Bowl appearances.

Damn.

I don't think these classes are gonna catch that, Ocho.

Nah.

Who else in the

Todd Blackledge didn't do too much.

Ken O'Brien

was that draft too, right?

Because he went to the Jets.

John went one

to the Colts.

Kelly, Eason, O'Brien, Maria.

Yeah.

Tony Eason went to he went to New England.

Tony Eason.

That's a Tony Eason

not a lineman, is he?

No, he's quarterback.

Quarterback, yeah, okay.

18 by A.

Well, hey, they already got more MVPs.

2018 already got more MVPs than 83.

Because Lamar got two

and Allen got one, so that's three.

They only got two in 83.

This is is over here.

2018 versus 2020.

And they didn't even put two in there.

Nah.

Oh, Choe, which duo are you taking?

You taking Sweetness and AP?

You taking Jim Brown and E.D.

You taking Baron Sanders and Marshall Falk?

Or are you taking LT and Emmett?

Woo!

Woo!

Is that AD and Sweetness?

Yep.

Yeah, I'm going AD and Sweetness.

God, bad, bad, look at, look at, bad, look at Jim.

Man, Jill Brown went MVP as a rookie.

I hear you.

I hear you.

But I saw AJ

in his prime.

I know, I know.

I'm going with all day in sweetness.

No disrespect to Barry.

Barry's the real deal.

LaDania Thompson was the real deal.

That's a good one.

That's a good one.

That's a good one.

I like AD.

As a matter of fact, AD and Sweetness is really basically the same back.

man,

I'm trying to figure out how you're gonna tackle Marshall and Barry on turf.

You not, you not

and listen, the first man is gonna miss every time.

That's that's that's hey, that's good, that's hard.

Jim Brown and ED, they are running backs.

Don't throw it to a hand it to them downhill 30 times.

Yeah, I like sweetness in 80.

Man,

the boy was

boy, that's a good one.

That's a that's a really good one.

Yeah,

who you who are you picking?

Who are you going with,

man?

All them touchdowns, I mean, Emmy got like 160-something touchdowns.

LT got about 140.

They got about 300 touchdowns between the two of them, right?

I'm taking, I'm taking, I'm taking, I'm taking, I'm taking Barry.

Barry and Hammett?

Barry and Marshall?

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

I like it.

I like it.

And it's so funny.

Can you imagine Barry with this spread and the spread off him with one back, just Barry?

And they got nickel defense on the field?

All right, that wouldn't be fair.

Do you realize we have yet to see a back like that till today?

You'll never see another back like him.

You've never seen nothing like that.

You could make a case that Shady McCoy might be the closest thing we've seen to him.

Yeah.

But the two-foot stop is what separates back.

Come to balance, yeah.

Nah, we're not going to see it.

Just throw.

If you come to balance, you're not tackling it.

Nah, at all.

If he stopped and you stopped,

I would just say,

let him go on pass.

You got to throw.

You got to take your shot.

It's basically like they teach you on the punt return, Ocho.

Go ahead and throw.

Don't come to balance.

Yeah.

You got to shoot.

Got to shoot your shot.

Yep.

Browns officially named Joe Flacco starter week one.

The 40-year-old Ocho will be making his first week one start since 2022 when he was with the Jets.

TBD on the rest of the depth chart.

Kenny Pickett has not played since July 26th.

Dylan Gabriel nursed the injury.

He came in, played Saturday.

Shadur Sanders started the preseason game.

He's got an oblique injury.

He did not play Saturday.

And Snoop Hundley was the guy that

they signed to get them through camp.

Adam Schefter said this morning, I expect Cleveland Browns to carry four

quarterbacks on the roster.

Yeah.

Well?

Are you surprised they're going to carry this many quarterbacks on Joe?

I mean, it's...

I'm not surprised.

It's not something that teams normally do.

They do not?

Yeah, when you need a position, you know, they can play elsewhere, especially on special teams yep so it's gonna that that having having four quarterback is going to take a job away from someone else you're absolutely right someone else is going to have to do double time on different positions because they're keeping a fourth quarterback so i mean listen this is this is this is rare but i understand the problem that they are having um

but hey listen i i said joe flacco was going to start i don't know the order in which the backups are going to be but

i mean at any point when Joe Flacco's not playing well, we know what he can do.

He's going to get you on a five-six game running, uh, winning streak, going all over the place, looking crazy.

Then, all of a sudden, goddamn, the bottom, the bottom is going to fall out, yeah.

The bottom is going to fall out, you ain't going to know what's going on.

So,

I'm excited.

I'm excited for, I'm excited for the Browns.

I know one thing:

week one,

we're going down there to Cleveland, out there in the water, and we

man, that don't even count to no victory.

We're going to put up 50.

You should.

I tell you what.

What?

Man, I don't know if you've seen Miles Garrett.

He's been bending to the edge, Ocho.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, listen,

Miles Garrett is going to be Miles Garrett no matter who he's playing.

We finna lock that up.

Okay.

Ocho.

Every team's number quarterback since the start of the

2020 season.

Look at this.

Cleveland Cleveland had 11 quarterback starts since 2020.

The Saints, nine.

Washington, nine.

Colts, eight.

Broncos, eight.

Giants, eight.

Bears, eight.

Hey, it's so funny.

I saw two people were complaining on Twitter today,

mad at

myself and you for saying that

Drew Bees is the reason why the Saints aren't doing well.

Because

they chose chose it.

You didn't hear the conversation.

You didn't hear what we were saying.

No, they took it.

When you have a quarterback like a Breeze, like a Manning,

like a Brady.

Right.

They're so good for so long and they don't get hurt.

The last thing that you want to do is tick them off by taking a quarterback early to be the bridge.

Coach Belichick was thinking, but he, He was starting to build the bridge too early.

Yeah.

That's what we mean so breeze was so good for so long they're like well he gonna play forever and when it a lot of times ocho it's like when it go down heel it go down fast oh yeah oh yeah and you saw with breeze i mean you look at look at breeze the year before

and then the next thing he gets nicked and it's over yeah but what we got we ain't got nothing ocho because we hadn't taken a quarterback In so long since when.

Yeah.

Same thing with Peyton Manning.

Peyton Manning that had not missed the start.

He gets nicked.

He plays the rest of the season.

He has surgery in the offseason.

Ain't the same since.

So that's what we mean by that.

I'm just saying we're not blaming him.

But

because quarterbacks and organizations don't want to kick that guy off,

they're hesitant to take a quarterback early, especially drafted high.

Now, you take a guy in the sixth or seventh round, fifth or sixth round, that ain't no threat.

You take one in the first or second round, that's a threat to him.

Yeah,

now you're looking over your shoulder.

Remember when Coach Belichick took Jimmy T?

Oh, yeah.

What did Mr.

Kraft instruct Coach Belichick to do?

Trading.

Get him up out of there.

That's what we're talking about, guys.

NFL players will no longer be punished for using a bow and arrow celebration.

Eagles,

old outside linebacker.

how you said it, Jalen?

Jalen Hunt was fined $5,600,

well, $5,700 for using the Board and Arrow Celebration in the Super Bowl.

But that's something the league will no longer penalize, according to referee Lan Clark.

It's a weapon.

Cupid, whoa back your boy.

What you think, Ocho?

You like it?

Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Let them have some fun.

Let them have some fun.

By all means.

By all means.

You know, I'm all for it.

Long as you don't do any gestures that have to do with

these,

none of this.

Right.

No, no six shooters.

Six shooters.

Yeah.

And no throat slash.

Remember the throat slash?

See, they used to let you do the throat slash.

They won't let you do throat slash no boba hair.

Yeah.

Outside of that, man, just let them boys have some fun, man.

Oh, Joe, we got great news.

Auburn will retire Cam Newton's number two.

Cam became the first SEC player to record a 2,000-yard passing season, a 1,000-yard rushing season.

He had 2,854 yards, 1,473 yards rushing.

He accounted for 51 touchdowns, 30 passing, 21 rushing, one receiving, while helping Auburn go 14-0 and winning the national championship against Oregon.

Cam swept the major college football awards.

2000, he won the Maxwell, Walter Camp, the Manning, the Davio Bryan, AP Player of the Year, as well

as the Heisman Trophy.

OG, I just got a simple question.

Talk to me.

Why won't Carolina show that man the love that Auburn is showing him?

I'm not sure, huh?

I'm not sure.

He said, remember we did a, I think we did a topic, was it last year, that he took his son and there were no pictures of him on the wall at the facility?

Oh, that's right.

He did say that.

He did say that.

I don't know.

I don't know.

That's something we would have to probably ask him

that internally.

I'm not sure how things.

No, we have to.

You can't ask Cam because Cam don't know why.

We need to ask the organization.

Yeah.

Kepper.

Yeah.

Ain't no telling.

Ain't no telling how things ended with Cam, even though he came back.

It's no telling.

You'll never know.

Especially for a quarterback of that magnitude that did the things that he did for the Carolina Panthers.

Yeah.

Took him to the Super Bowl, one of the MVP, rookie of the year,

pro bowler, all-pro,

but that's amazing.

Congratulations, Cam.

Nim,

very deserving.

I can make a case that's the greatest college season for a quarterback.

I know Joe had, I know Joe's numbers, right?

But Joe ain't throwing putting up those numbers with the receivers that Cam had.

He ain't doing that.

And I don't know.

I think he had one.

I don't think he had an offensive lineman.

I mean, did anybody play more than a year in the NFL on Cam's team?

On the offense?

Because I know he had a defensive lineman that went like, I think, top 10 to the Lions.

But if you look at his offensive weapons and what he was able to do.

Yeah.

Well, Cam was a real deal back then.

Man, Cam was crazy with it.

I mean, off the chain.

Yeah.

I don't know who we'll ever ever see.

Lamar had an unbelievable season.

I mean, the year he won the Heisman.

Well, actually, the year that he finished that he, the next year, he was even better than the year that he won the Heisman.

If you go back and look at it,

because he threw for like 3,500 yards and had 1,500 yards rushing.

That's crazy.

But congratulations, Cam.

University of Auburn, no one else will be able to wear the number two.

That's live.

Now it's time

for our final segment of the evening.

It's time for Q and A.

Hey.

Alpha Body said, Ocho sounded like Keith Sweat.

Wait, he making fun of he making fun of my voice.

So you sound like Keith Sweat?

Sweat?

Nah, I sound like Barry White tonight.

Kepper Noah Wood Jr.

said, I have the Bengals going 10-6 this season, but they lose to the Broncos in week four.

I agree, Kepper.

That's funny.

Aaron Owens says, I don't know who's softer, Charmin or the Bengals defense.

Bengals defense.

Relax.

Relax.

Y'all relax.

It's just the preseason.

Just the preseason.

Let's not get it.

TJ Ryder said, hey, Trey Terry for

They don't need another receiver.

They ain't finna play no receiver.

Another receiver?

Man, they ain't gonna have no $100 million receiving core.

They already got a $70 million receiving core.

Hey,

he's trying to play Madden.

He's acting like it's Madden.

Apache Hall said, Uncanocho, in wrestling, the word receipt means when your opponent hits you too hard, you owe them a receipt by hitting them harder.

Is there anyone you played with or against that you felt you owed a receipt?

Yeah.
