Nightcap Hour 1: Unc & Ocho react to Josh Allen's Bills BEAT Lamar's Ravens, Rodgers 4 TDs, Packers-Lions

Deborah had to have surgery.

I had hip surgery in November of 2024.

Her United Healthcare nurse, Crystal, checked on her.

We do a routine call after surgery, and I could tell that she was struggling.

Deborah needed help.

My infection markers were through the roof.

And Crystal knew what to do.

I called the hospital and said she's coming in and got Deborah the help she needed.

Crystal and United Healthcare saved my life.

Ocho.

This game, look, look, the Baltimore Ravens, Derrick Henry, I don't know what it is about the Buffalo Bills, but he loves playing this team.

We remember last year in Baltimore, he ran for 199.

Even in the playoff game, they lost.

He only had 16 rushes for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Tonight,

he had 18 rushes, 169 and two touchdowns, but he had a very, very costly fumble.

Lamar Jackson was sensational again.

14 of 19, two touchdowns,

210 yards, two touchdowns.

But it was that 6'5 ⁇ , 255-pound mountain of a man.

Yeah.

Josh Allen.

Yes.

33 of 46, 394, two touchdowns.

He ran the ball 14 times for 30 yards.

He had two touchdowns, but it was his ability to throw the football.

Sometimes you got to be lucky rather than good.

On fourth down, the tight end tips the ball.

Keon Coleman catches it.

Yeah.

That's the difference in the ball game.

And then they come right back and they get a punch out on Derrick Henry.

Well, they got the punch out first, and then they do a great job of going three and out, forcing the Ravens to punch the football.

Well, three and out and forcing the Ravens to punch the football.

Ocho, you're watching this game, and it seems like the Ravens have it in hand.

They're doing what they're running the football.

Yeah.

They're play action pass, and they're doing everything.

the d hop catching it with one hand but they're in the locker room they're upset because they know they had this one and they let this one slip away what did you like about what you saw from the buffalo bills not to stop fighting down 15 and the opposing team has the ball listen the fact they were able to come back this is one of the reasons why even though i even though i debunk it you know that

i mean talk about lamar should have been

i always say lamar should have been the mvp last year this is why josh allen won it you're You're down by 15.

Some things have to go right, huh?

The game,

50% execution and 50% luck.

Some things have to go right in your favor, and they did for the Buffalo Bills tonight.

The fact that they continued to fight, the fact that Josh Allen was able to come back and make some throws that only Josh Allen can make

when they were behind, to come from behind and have an opportunity to win this game.

It's unbelievable.

They played really well.

The Ravens look good.

They lost the game, but the Ravens look very, very good.

They look good.

Any other team?

This is the blowout, Uncle.

Any other team the Ravens are playing outside the Buffalo Bills?

This is a blowout game.

Now, common sense isn't always common.

In the middle of this game, about an hour and 30 minutes ago, I don't know if Ash was able to put it up.

I tweeted out something.

I tweeted out something.

I said the Ravens look good, but it's a lot of game.

It's a lot of, there it is right there, Uncle if you can see it.

The Ravens look good, but it's a lot of game left.

And for some reason, what should be a blowout normally ends closer than you could think.

And that's exactly what happened.

Not only did it end closer than I would think, I didn't think they would come back and win it.

They came back and won the whole damn game.

I knew it would be close, but win it, man.

Listen, the football gods won Buffalo side.

Obviously, this costly fumble, which the Ravens always happen to do at the most opportune times.

Inopportune.

Inopportune time.

My bad, my bad, my bad.

But listen,

this is a testament to how you ended the season last year yep a game of this magnitude having a costly turnover yet again yep

the ravens offense looked good their defense they didn't get no pressure yeah can't get pressure with four and their secondary isn't good now i don't know what's going on with jai alexander ocho but he looked bad tonight let's call it like let's call it like we see it ocho now this is what we do yeah he did not look good tonight and they were saying he had issues going on with his leg with his knee i don't know if he had a drain i don't know if it's bone on bone i don't know if he has tendonitis but he didn't look good tonight yeah he did not look good wiggins he met broke up to play on the two-point conversion but pass interference bro you got to do better you got to do a better job of defending the guy without interfering with the guy but the biggest issue i see with them is they can't generate pressure yeah they can't get pressure with four if metal beeque didn't get home don't get home i mean tonight it just wasn't they i mean look buffalo buffalo is a good team and so i i I'm not going to diminish what Buffalo did.

Buffalo did a great job of staying in this ball game.

But I thought, I was like, well, damn, okay.

They get the ball back

and

give Ed Oliver credit because he got him stopped.

He said, well, I got you stopped.

Let me see if I can get the ball out.

And he pulled a slot and he got four.

He got three sevens and the balls came out.

Give Buffalo credit, but the Ravens are going to to kick themselves.

John Harbach says, hey, guys, I'm proud of you guys.

You fought hard, but he knows they let this one slip away.

And it's on the defensive side of the football.

They got to be better because everybody that they look, everybody doesn't have a Josh Allen that can kill you with his legs and his arms.

But these quarterbacks in the AFC can light your ass up with their arms.

Josh Allen had 394.

Yes.

394.

He had 46 pass attempts, Ocho, with one sack.

That's crazy.

Lamar Jackson had 19 pass attempts, and he got sacked twice, and it took him a Houdini effort to get out of one.

One, yeah.

Yeah.

So I'm concerned with the Ravens' defense.

I have no concerns whatsoever with their offense.

I know Derrick Henry would do a better job of holding on to the football.

Lamar Jackson is going to be Lamar Jackson.

I love Zay Flowers.

I wish they could have worked.

No, no, Bateman.

I wish they could have.

Look,

D-Hop's going to give you

a couple of contested catches.

That's what he's going to do, Ocho.

We're not looking to get DeAndre Hopkins of Houston, Texas, DeAndre Hopkins of the Arizona Cardinals, because he's not there anymore.

He doesn't live at that place anymore, Ocho.

And it's okay to say that.

I wish they could have got Rashawn Bateman involved a little bit more.

Zay Flowers was sensational tonight.

Sam for $1.43 and one touchdown on nine targets.

I wish they could have got Bateman a little bit more involved.

D.

Hop's going to give you one to two catches.

That's all we can hope for.

They're going to be contested.

That's what they brought him in there for.

Defensively is

where they're going to have to improve, Ocho.

They're going to have to find a way to generate pressure with four because they're back in.

Yeah.

They're back in those corners.

Yeah.

Hey,

I think if anything, I think more so they played a bad game.

I mean, the back end has always been good.

Nate Wiggins was good last year.

Marlon Humphrey's always Marlon Humphrey.

If we can get Jair Alexander, who's coming off an injury, obviously,

who's coming off an injury, to get himself back acclimated.

You know, hey, did he?

Did Jaire even play in the preseason?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

So, I don't think a whole lot of people play in the preseason.

Exactly.

So, he gets himself back acclimated after coming off injury, not really playing much last year, getting himself back into rhythm, getting himself back into

actually football shape.

Yeah.

But in the process, Ocho here,

Ocho here is the thing.

I can't be losing games while you're working your way back in the football game.

Right, right, right.

So, obviously, what they have have to do, they got to protect him, huh?

They got to protect him.

If anything, put it, put it, listen, put him in press.

He's very good at man-to-man.

He's Jair Alexander, that's what he's known for.

He's very good at man to man.

And don't expose him.

Don't have him playing off at seven yards when you know he's not where he needs to be.

Get him up there.

Allow him to throw the time into the offense off until he gets himself back right.

Yeah,

I was just, and I was like, damn.

Ravens normally

get a little bit more pressure than that.

And

what's the guy?

what's his name

uh kyle van oy i'm like come on kyle somebody get some pressure hey them big boys hey buffalo got them big boys

hey they did a good look they neutralized it they look and they made them one-dimensional once they fell behind you they're not going to run the football uh the ravens they had a rush 31 rush attempts 108 yards You can live with that.

That's less than four yards of carry.

That's three and a half yards of carry.

I can live with that.

Right.

But what I can't live with is a quarterback drop back 46 times.

I only get him on the ground once.

That's not good enough.

That's not, that's not, no, seriously, that's not nearly good enough.

Right.

They played well enough to win, but all turnovers aren't created equal.

When you turn the ball over, Jerry Henry has that fumble in the first quarter.

It's no harm, no foul, Ocho.

But when he had that, we've got the momentum.

Now we give Buffalo a chance to get the momentum, get some momentum, and now they'll start hooping and hollering like they caught the Holy Ghost on fourth Sunday.

And now the crowds now crowds into it, Ocho.

Hold on, hold on, on, hold on.

What, what Sunday?

Fourth Sunday.

But give, look,

they could have easily, easily

hung their heads,

folded.

Yes, we're down 15.

And the Ravens, we know what the Ravens possess.

Derrick Henry is running up and down the field.

Up and down the field.

I mean, he's getting four.

He's getting 15.

He's getting 30.

He's getting 51.

I was like, well, damn, what is it about the Buffalo Bills that Derrick Henry loves so much?

It's not even the Buffalo Bills.

It's whoever the hell Derrick Henry plays against.

He's done this against everybody.

I don't know.

Derrick Henry rarely turns the ball over.

Every so often, he's going to get a fumble.

This time, it happened week one when the Atlas shouldn't.

Coming off of what happened last year and why you went home

for missing a Super Bowl opportunity.

There should be no turnovers.

That should be the first thing coming in in preseason, in training camp.

We can't turn the ball over and you're playing the same goddamn team again

that costs you

a chance to go to the fc championship game

ocho but what happened was is that they got him in a they got him he's trying to stiff arm so if you got a stiff arm that means what you ain't got both arms over the ball both arms over the ball so now i dare

get past the line of scrimmage there's no need to use a stiff arm but here no yes there was he got pressure he got pressure and so now he's trying to stiff arm it oliver off of him to try to get to the outside.

Yeah, I mean, looking at it now, Ocho, just go down.

Yeah.

But you know, that's not how he's wired.

Right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

I said the same thing.

When Jar Harr Alexander got beat, I said, let him score.

You got three timeouts.

Let him score.

You got three timeouts.

You got a minute on the clock.

Let's see what Lamar Jacks can do with spread.

Right.

With enough time.

Once, once, because Baltimore's got to burn their timeouts now.

And all Baltimore is going to do is go, hey, Prater, they already know the special team coaches already tell the head coach where the kicker likes to kick from.

If you see Josh Allen, hey, he goes to that side, downs the ball.

Goes to that side, downs the ball.

Okay, on third down, he goes to that side again.

There's 27 seconds.

He runs off the field.

You normally can get your offense off the field, your special teams unit on the field.

We would always practice 18 seconds.

They got a full 27 seconds.

So now Prater gets an opportunity to go back there and go through his motion.

He's doing all that on the field, Locho.

He got clear this time.

He's like, yeah i ain't hey i ain't rushing nothing is it good right here baby woo right appreciate that and go he nails it through you know

a lot of times you have to you have to have the foresight because a lot of times guys are not thinking in that moment jarry alexander has panicked man i can't give up a touchdown with an actionality it'd be best if you did give up the touchdown

because now you got a minute a minute plus left and you got all three of your timeouts but that's that's that's something that they that would they would have talked about before that would have been something they would have talked about ahead of time obviously

I mean, I mean, I'm not, I forgot the D coordinator's name or Harbaugh would have told the defense.

If they happen to make a big play, let him score.

Let him get in.

Obviously, they didn't say anything.

That's why he tried to tackle Keon.

Normally, Ocho, you talk about that close to the goal line.

Right.

You say, okay, hey, just let him score.

You're right.

You're right.

You're not thinking, first of all, you're not thinking they're going to get a big play.

So once they got the big play, the next thing, you panic, Ocho.

It's just like anything.

Steve Irwin.

Right.

When he got stung by that stingray, his natural instinct was what?

To pull it out.

That was the last thing he should have did.

But see, you're not thinking, something goes in.

I got to get it out, Ocho.

Right, right, right.

Right away.

Right away.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

So now he gets a long pass caught on him.

He's not thinking, man, I still, I got three timeout.

My team got three timeouts.

I got Lamar Jack.

Just let him scope.

You're not thinking about that.

but like you said those are scenarios that you probably need to go through also go through your mind hey tip pass i mean one time we play in kansas city ocho and john threw me a ball i lost like eight yards but it was more important to keep the clock moving as opposed to an incompletion and stopping the clock right so if the ball got kicked i'm like hey i gotta catch this Even though it's, hey, now all of a sudden, I only got like 50 yards.

I only got like 50 yards.

But man, this was a hell of a ball game.

Yeah,

this was a hell of a ballgame, man.

Listen, there's a reason why they had them slated to play as a 7:30 game or 8:30 game, depending on where you live from, because it was everything that was advertised.

It was everything that was advertised based on what we saw last season.

Right.

Listen, I actually, all the goddamn games was good today, depending on who you had.

I wouldn't say all of them was good.

I wouldn't say all of them.

I mean, well, it depends.

It depends.

It depends.

There were some trash games, but

this was perfect to end the night.

Yes.

Yeah.

This was a very good game.

You got two heavyweight quarterbacks, the last two MVPs going head to head.

Hey, nobody wants to give an inch.

You got Derrick Henry running the ball.

Look like he's well on his way to another 2,000.

Hell, I thought he was going for two bands.

I thought he was going for two bills today.

I thought he was going.

Yeah, I thought he was going for two bills today.

Because you know, Ocho, it's just like when we play a receiver, we get that big catch early.

Hey, Ocho, we got, hey, we got big, we got 70 yards on three catches.

Yeah.

And we're in the first quarter.

Hold on.

And this is the funny thing about it, too.

Forget, forget the first quarter.

When you get those chunk yards and chunk plays and have that many yards at the beginning of the season and week one to get the ball rolling,

man, stop playing.

You know you're not.

That's how I'm thinking.

And I'm sure Derek Henry was thinking the same thing.

The offensive line is thinking the same thing.

Oh, we got a great rhythm because all of a sudden they tossing him the ball and he's coming through there.

It ain't nothing but a safety.

And the safety is taking an F-up angle.

The safety ain't really, he tried to hit him from the angle.

And I was really trying to be in front of you.

I was trapped.

Yeah, that was trapped.

That with that both.

He not, he took that bad angle on purpose.

Of course, yes, of course.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm covering that angle.

Yes.

And who trying to on a toss, everybody locked up, the guard or the guard pull and get the linebacker, and it's just you and this.

Who the hell for the Derrick Henry?

I'm making a business decision.

Hey, and you see, he already got the concussion cap already on.

He said, I need a pill.

Hey, as a matter of fact, somebody throw me a pillar.

I need a pillar and the concussion cap.

Hey, Derrick Henry.

Matter of fact, I can guarantee you.

I can guarantee you.

I want everybody that's in the chat that's listening.

Imagine, hypothetically speaking, if you had the opportunity to play safety.

I guarantee you, nobody, there's no amount of money that a team could pay anybody in our chat to be a safety and meet derrick herney one-on-one in the hole nah because he got a head of steam the thing what you want to do ocho is make him go east and west you don't want to get you don't want him to get him shoulder pads coming downhill north and north going north no hell nah that's 240 245.

please hell nah he got a head of steam no i'm trying to get you before you turn those shoulder pads square i'm trying to get you going laterally as long as i got you going laterally That's cool.

I'm trying to get you before you can get to the line of scrimmage.

Forget that.

They toss that ball and you you see that hole open up.

Okay, here comes the tight end.

He pins somebody.

Here come

the fullback.

He leads up in there and he kicks out.

He turns back on the linebacker.

Nah, hell nah.

I don't want no part of that.

And those are the decisions.

But I think, look.

This was a very good.

This was the best game of the day thus far.

We'll see what Minnesota and Chicago do last night.

It's going to have to be hard pressed to top this one because you got 41, you got

4140.

and you got two quarterbacks playing at their absolute best lamar jackson was sensational

josh allen just so happens to had the ball had the ball last yes

yeah

and that's what you want to do you want to say

give me the ball all i want is the ball in my quarterback's hands with a chance to win the game yeah that's all i can ask for it doesn't matter if it's lamar jackson if it's joe burrow if it's uh a patrick mahomes if it's josh allen all all you want is that opportunity.

I want my quarterback to have the ball with a chance to win the game.

We need a touchdown.

We need a field goal.

I have the utmost confidence.

Josh Allen has a ton of confidence.

He always has, but now he knows he's an elite company.

He has an MVP.

He has an MVP, but he knows in order to get to

that tier, that...

take that next step, Ocho.

Yeah.

Can you imagine?

Super Bowl winning MVP, Super Bowl MVP.

Right.

Regular season MVP.

Yeah.

That's when Brady started separating himself.

Now, all of a sudden, he got Super Bowl and he got regular season.

Mahomes, Super Bowl and regular season.

Rodgers.

That's what the greats do.

Josh Allen was sensational tonight.

He was.

He was absolutely phenomenal.

With a little help.

With a little help from the Ravens.

He was.

Sometimes I got to have that, Ocho.

I need that.

But here's the thing.

He got the help.

How many times have you helped somebody, but they didn't help themselves?

How many times have we come on here, Ocho?

The game was for the taking.

Yeah.

And the team didn't take it.

Right.

If you open the door, you remember the movie centers?

Yeah.

In order for the vampires to come in, what you have to do?

You had to offer, you had to ask them to come in.

You had to let them in.

Yes, sir.

How many times have the door been opened?

And the opportunity for you to come in

and everybody just stood there.

So the Ravens opened the door and they invited them in.

And Buffalo says, okay.

Yeah, we'll take it.

We're coming on in your house.

Listen, any other team, I'm trying to think, any other team, if you take the Bills out and the Ravens put up 40 points, there may be one or two teams that I can think of that have the quarterback or have the personnel to actually come back in a game like that.

You're absolutely right.

Maybe two other teams.

That's about it.

Other than that.

Ain't nobody nobody else coming back

and doing what we do.

I have a question to, I got a question for you.

I know the magnitude and importance of the game is not as significant as this one was, but does this compare in any way to that 28-3 comeback in that Super Bowl?

I'm not comparing the, I mean, I know it's, I know it's week one, I'm not comparing week one in the Super Bowl.

I mean, just the comeback, it is just as big.

I mean, 28-3?

Yeah.

I mean, the biggest, at that point in time, the biggest lead had ever been was like a 10-0.

with the comeback from 10-0.

Right.

Or 10, or the Patriots came back from 10-down in the fourth quarter.

They came back from 25.

Well, hey, hold on.

Now they scored 16 points in four minutes.

This ain't that.

It's real life.

The Bills, the Knights.

Yes.

Yes.

16 points in four minutes.

That's not even, that's video game stuff.

So many things have to go right for you to score 16 points in four minutes.

What went right is that after on first down, Derrick Henry fumbled the ball with that little

time.

So you didn't get the full allotment of time.

They didn't make Buffalo burn any of their timeouts on that possession.

So now, once you get the ball back, now they don't have any timeouts and you can let time run off the clock on your next possession.

But nah, Josh, Josh was sensational.

Give Buffalo credit.

Give him credit where it's due.

They earned this one.

Buffalo, I mean, excuse me, the Ravens.

You're kicking yourself.

I know you're kicking yourself.

But I mean,

the ravens i mean if you all the uh nine minutes more time of possession ocho for the buffalo they had 10 more first downs third down efficiency one uh buffalo was seven of 15 baltimore was seven of 11.

uh uh but defensively where the ravens are gonna have to get better they gave up 500 yards of offense

They gave up 500 yards of offense.

Just because Derrick Henry fumbled, that doesn't mean you have to let him score.

I'm just throwing that at that food for thought.

Just because somebody fumbled, you could say, you know what,

y'all get the field goal.

You ain't getting no touchdown.

Or you get nothing, or you can take the ball away.

You can take it back away.

So this notion that, oh, you know, Derrick hit from him, yes, Derrick Henry fumble.

He'll do a better job.

He'll have better ball security next time.

And in that situation, sometimes it's just better to go ahead and drop.

Live to see another day.

I had a coach used to tell me all the time, Les Steckle, my position coach, in the mid-90s, 93 and and 94.

He says, he used to call me sweetheart.

He'd say, sweetheart, you got to know when the journey's over.

Sometimes, D.

Henry, I understand.

You got to know when the journey is over.

It's okay to sometimes to get out of bounds.

It's okay, Ocho, to say, you know what?

Hey,

drop to the ground.

Man, come on.

Nah, nah, in that situation.

Only bad can come out of that.

Nothing good can come out of that.

That's why you say, well, he shouldn't have stiff arm.

That's what he, I mean, how many times have we seen him use that stiff arm just in this game?

Right.

Remember on that long, that first long touchdown run, what did he do?

Get up off me.

Shove the guy to the ground.

Yeah.

So, in that situation, man, but this was a barn burner.

This was a great game.

Congratulations, Buffalo Bills.

Hard fought victory, scored 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Outscored Baltimore 22-6 in the fourth.

And they win the ball game 41-40.

Missed PAT also, oh, Joe, remember, Baltimore missed the PAT.

Hit upright, bounced away.

Now they would have need, now

a field goal only ties you.

Yeah.

You go into overtime.

But gave it away.

branded products you can customize on our website, and of course, affordable flat-rate shipping.

So you can get your ducks back in a row.

And start growing my business.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Just another day at the office.

Bear of a task?

You're up next.

So,

but boy,

what a barn burner of a game.

Oh, Cho.

Yo.

The Ravens had a 99.1% win probability, up 40 to 25 with less than five minutes to go.

In the first game, is the reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen with 33 of 46, 394, two touchdown,

394 yards, two touchdowns.

And he also had 14 carries for 30 yards, two more scores.

Right now, yeah, he's the early,

you know, he showed why he won the award.

He's going to be AFC offensive player of the week.

And he's, you know, I think like

a lot of sites had Lamar as the favorite, but Josh Allen ain't going nowhere.

No,

listen, it's all going to come down to all the way towards the end because they're going to be making these kind of plays all season long, regardless of what they play.

And I think the funny thing about it, when I think about the Ravens and we talk about the defense, most of the time, the defense is always ahead of the offense

because all the defense have to do, they have to read and react.

I think one of the few, the Ravens might be one of the few teams, but the offense and the Bills as well.

The offense is ahead of the defense because of the people they have at the quarterback position.

Yeah.

But because of the joke they have at the quarterback position.

But if you look at it, this is an offensive team.

Your best players, your best player, Lamar Jackson, he's on offense.

Your second best player, Derrick Henry, he's on offense.

Probably your fourth or fifth best player, if he's not third, Zay Flowers, he's on offense.

So naturally,

so of your top 10 players, probably three of the top five are on the offensive side of the football.

With that being said,

this is not good enough Ravens defensively.

I know it's one game.

I know it's one game.

But a lot of these quarterbacks, you got Joe Burrow.

He can throw the ball.

He struggled a day.

No, but here's the thing.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Here's the thing.

Go ahead.

We'll get to that.

Go ahead.

But the Ravens don't have a Miles Garrett.

The Steelers, that quarterback, I don't know if y'all saw him today, what he did in the Meadowlands.

He can throw the ball.

Patrick Mahomes can throw the ball.

Yeah.

Justin Herbert can throw the ball.

If you do not pressure these quarterbacks, they will light you up.

And look at the receivers that Burrow has.

Look at the receivers that Justin Herbert's going to be playing with.

You saw what

Aaron Rodgers.

So it's got, hey, I'm just saying, they're going to have to go back to the drawing board.

Lamar got into it.

Somebody threw a drink on Derrick Henry.

And then you saw Lamar get into it.

The fan shoved him and Lamar shoved him back.

Just be careful.

Just be careful, Lamar.

Just be careful.

The fan got to be careful.

You can't reach out to Sanders and test the players.

You can't do that.

But it ain't worth just getting a lawsuit.

It ain't worth it, Ocho.

Because even if they throw it out, guess what you got to do?

You got to have an attorney to defend it.

Take it from somebody to know.

So just,

Lamar, I'm just saying, I understand.

Look.

Fans,

keep your hands inside the wall unless that's your player.

Hey, Lamar, just be careful.

That's all I'm going to say.

Just be careful.

Oh, Joe, the Steelers went on the road, beat the Jets 34-32.

Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes.

If I'm not mistaken, it's his first game with four touchdown passes and no interceptions since 2021.

Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes in his Steelers debut.

Rodgers, after the game, there were probably people in the organization that didn't think I could play anymore.

So it was nice to remind those people that I still can.

I'm just happy to be everybody associated with the Jets.

yeah were you surprised how well aaron rogers looked today

well i wasn't surprised obviously based on the team he's at where he is what he has to work with offensively the steelers obviously their identity is their defense uh even though they looked okay because the goddamn jess and justin fields on they were playing some ball today boy yes Hey, Justin Fields and the boy were playing some ball today, but I'm happy for Aaron.

DK Metcalf, they had very, very, very good chemistry.

Very good chemistry.

He caught some good balls.

And outside of that, I mean, they look really good.

And this is what I really expected for the Steelers to have a quarterback that is four-time MVP, Super Bowl winning quarterback, and putting the right pieces around him.

And all he has to do is do what's asked of him and don't turn the ball over.

Just don't turn the ball over and you will always have a chance.

And that's exactly what they had today.

That's exactly what they had today.

Let defense take care of everything.

And again, what happened?

It was a turnover.

Remember the fumble?

Hey,

look,

we know Aaron Rodgers can have games like this.

He looked like the old Aaron Rodgers, not an old Aaron Rodgers, the old Aaron Rodgers.

22 of 30, 244, four touchdowns.

Just got after him a little bit, got him sacked in four times, did a great job of neutralizing the run, only 50 yards on 20 carries.

Then you go to the other side, Justin Fields fields look really look played really well today 16 to 22 218 one touchdowns they had 182 rushing yeah

but when you get a situation like that you got to kill a net with a sledgehammer yes you you you can't leave a team with these type quarterbacks you can't let them hang around oh chill they'll find a way to beat you every time you you can't when you get a team down And they got a great quarterback on that side of the football.

Rodgers can still beat you.

Josh Allen can beat you, or Mahomes, these guys they can beat you.

You better put them away when you get a chance.

But the funny thing is, if you leave them hanging around, Lojo, okay.

But the funny thing about it, when teams get in a situation where you can kill an ant with a sledgehammer, everything gets conservative.

Right.

Play calling gets conservative because now I don't want to be responsible for the loss, as opposed to let's keep our foot on the pedal and just kill him right away.

But no, every time, on every single time, which is why I tweeted what I tweeted tonight, while the Ravens and Bills were playing, every time, listen, it looks like a blowout, but for some reason, in every football game, the play calling, mistakes, they get conservative, things happen, fumbles, interception.

And for some reason, the game always ends closer than what it should be.

You know, you turn the ball over, you give the Packers a short feel,

and the next thing you know, the game is

boom, boom, boom.

Yeah.

Give

Jalen Ramsey credit.

You can't go low to Jalen now.

You can't take out the lead blocker by taking out his knees.

They won't allow you to do that on the defensive side of football.

You used to could, but you can't do that anymore.

But he says, okay, don't worry about it.

I'll make up for it.

He did.

I'll make up for it.

He dropped a hammer on Garrett Wilson.

I think the thing is,

you got to know that guy's over there, Ocho.

Yeah.

Because what are they trying not to do, Ocho?

Let you out of bounds.

So if they're not going to let you out of bounds, what did that mean?

Somebody's close to the sidelines.

Sidelines and keeping everything inside.

And so now,

Ram see him.

I'm about to,

hey, let me get some bowl barbecue sauce because I'm going to put some sauce on the ribs.

That was it.

Hey, that's what happened.

happened that was a text that was a textbook tackle too now textbook uh that was teach tape teaching tape on how to tackle and not get no flag that was nice that was that was uh uh that was an unbelievable play by an unbelievable uh unbelievable player um but i thought i thought justin fields showed great poise uh did a great job he was only sacked once uh the tackle got beat really bad he got beat really really quick uh and uh and i think because i thought they had something on that play looking at it they had they have something.

If the tackle doesn't get beat so quick, Hot Smith beats him clean

and Fields really doesn't even get a chance, really gets a chance to do much of anything.

But I was impressed with Rogers.

Now,

I'm not finna sit here and tell you I saw four touchdowns and no turnovers, 22 or 30.

No, I knew they were going to

try to establish the run.

Right.

That's why you got a guy like Rogers because if we can't run it, we feel comfortable.

If we can protect him, he can make plays.

he can still make plays off his back foot he still can roll out the pocket and throw with pinpoint accuracy he still has those capabilities he's not as elusive as he once was hey we're not the same people that at 20 at 30 we were at 25 we're not the same people at 35 we were at 30.

rogers is what 40 41 years of age he's definitely not the same person athletic athletically athletically as he was in his 30s right but his arm

his ability to change arm slots his ability to move on the run, to throw on the run.

Now, he don't have the foot speed he once did, Ojo.

He's not going to really beat you like he once could with his legs, but his arm is still dangerous.

Yeah.

His arm is still very, very dangerous.

Very, very much.

I didn't see the four touchdowns.

If somebody would have told me, could I see 244?

Yeah.

But I don't think either team is really happy.

One team gave up 34.

The other team gave up 32.

Now, if I give up 32 and I win, I'm happy, but there are some concerning things that I saw.

But if I think, if you're Mike Tomlin, you're like, okay,

I think we found our quarterback and you look at the receivers.

You look at DK doing what he did.

You look at Calvin Austin in the third.

Fry Mooth had a big play.

Skoronik catches.

He's normally a special teams Maven.

I think he was at the Rams.

That's where I remember him from.

I don't know if he came from there last year or a couple of years ago, but I remember him at the Rams as a special team Maven.

Called a a touchdown, recovered a fumble.

But I like what I saw from the Jets.

There are some positives.

Absolutely.

There are some positives that you can take out of this.

You're just like, man,

we had it.

But you give up 17 points, just like the Ravens gave up 22 points.

You gave up 17 points in the fourth quarter.

You're not going to win very many games giving up that kind of in the fourth quarter.

But the Steelers, the Steelers, the Steelers play well.

Look, Steelers are 1-0 in that division.

Cincinnati is 1-0, and you got Cleveland and Baltimore at the bottom of the vision at both 0-1.

It's early, one game in the season.

One game does not make a season.

Win, lose, or draw.

But I definitely like teaching after a win than I do a loss.

Yes, sir.

Now, I might have your undivided attention more so after a loss than a win, but I like teaching after a win.

So,

Steelers, what are you thinking?

How many wins?

10, 11?

Steelers?

12, yeah.

Ooh,

that's a good one.

Just off the quarterback alone, if he can be consistent and not turn the ball over and show us vintage signs of old Aaron Rodgers, old Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers,

they could win more than that, huh?

Especially if the defense carries him because the defense is their identity now.

The defense is their identity.

I got them winning more than 10.

More than 10 easily.

No, no, I'm saying if

it all comes down to your quarterback.

If you look at the league, you look at the landscape of the league of the team that are always successful year in and year out.

What's the common denominator on what each one of those teams have?

They have a competent quarterback that puts them in the best situations to win week in and week out.

And that's something that the Steelers have now, which is why Tomlin had no problem going to get Aaron Rodgers.

We don't need you to be Aaron Rodgers down there in goddamn Green Bay.

We don't need that.

If we can get flashes of brilliance every so often and you do what we ask of you and don't turn the ball over, we can hand it off from time to time to take some of the pressure off of you.

DK, make the plays.

Calvin Austin the third, you make your plays.

Farmuth, how do you say his last name?

Fry Muth.

Yeah, Fry Mooth, make your plays.

We're going to be fine.

Let the defense do all the heavy lifting.

Yeah.

I mean, I like what I saw with DK.

They did a great job of getting the ball in his hands.

He dropped one early, and then he came back and made two spectacular plays, turned on the afterburners, like the guy out down the sideline.

I saw Calvin Austin catch a touchdown.

He played well today.

Fryer Mooth, when given opportunity, he did what he does.

Skoronik.

They slept on him, did the run to overrout.

You know, Rodgers like to throw the ball outside the pocket.

Oh, yeah.

They don't have a problem putting him on the move.

He does a great job because if you roll him to the left, he can open his hips up and still get the completion.

A lot of right, a lot of the right-handed quarterbacks or left-handed quarterbacks that have to roll right or right-handed quarterbacks that got to roll left.

It's an awful lot to throw on the move because you got to open your hips up, especially if it's not like a comeback where the guy, you know, you roll in that way and you just throw it.

But sometimes you got to open your hips.

And I think Rogers does that as good as anybody that's ever, ever played the game.

I like what I saw from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Excuse me.

I like what I saw from the Steelers.

I like Justin Fields.

I like what I saw today.

I

can, if I'm if I'm AG, I'm going to say, son, hey, I know you're disappointed that we didn't win, but there's no question in my mind.

You showed a lot of improvement.

You showed a lot of growth today.

We can win a lot.

With you playing like you played today, son, we can win a lot of football games.

We can win a lot of football games.

So

Steelers go to 1-0.

Jets fall to 0-1.

34-32.

You know, Rogers had something to prove.

You know, hey,

hey, you didn't want me.

You didn't think I could play.

Say, I want to beat everybody that's associated.

You know, he gave it a little bit of a.

He's like, hey, y'all got something for me?

Walking off the field today?

Here with a, I think he was walking next to Cam Hayward.

He's like, y'all got something for me?

Y'all look, y'all, y'all, y'all, look.

So,

but like I said, I think the Jets, that division,

it's Buffaloes.

Yeah.

it's buffalo miami look horrible on both sides of the ball oh don't do that don't do that don't do that oh joe they look horrible don't do that don't do that don't do that no they did that i didn't do nothing

United Healthcare nurse Crystal checked in on a patient.

We do a routine call after surgery, and I could tell in her voice that she was struggling.

Crystal knew she needed help.

And I knew that this is very serious.

This is like septic.

This is life-threatening.

And she knew just what to do.

And I called the hospital and said she's coming in, here are her labs.

And got her the help she needed.

the packers beat the lions 27-13 jordan love threw a pair of touchdowns and michael parson had a sack in his green bay debut the packers delivered an exceptional defensive performance after getting out scored 99 to 40 in the first half of the nfc north games last year the packers got points on their opening three possessions ocho you like the packers to be favored in the n of north now man heck hell yeah boy you see them boys today boy you see jordan live jordan love dealing molden nicks dobbs yep reed maybe

josh jacob josh jacob was trying to you know get loose a little bit you know he wasn't able to go crazy defensively the packers look good too you know they can they contain jameer gibbs didn't have a a huge game They contained Montgomery.

They didn't have a huge game.

But I see a team, especially from an offensive standpoint, like the Detroit Lions, they're going to be all right.

They're going to be all right.

But what I'm seeing from the Packers this early in the season

is phenomenal.

Jordan Love was wheeling and dealing all game long,

all game long.

They didn't have a ton of plays.

Nah, I mean, they had I mean, 45 actual plays, so they might have had 50 total plays if you count the penalty stuff, Ocho.

Yeah.

When you look at Jordan Love with 16 to 22, 188, two touchdowns, they only had 25 rush attempts for 78 yards.

The Packers did a tremendous job getting off the Jared Goff.

He's not mobile.

So we know where he's going to be.

Right there.

He ain't going nowhere.

He's going to be right there.

So

they didn't run the ball.

Montgomery couldn't get anything going.

Gibbs couldn't get anything going.

You know.

Gibbs had 10 reception for 31 yards, along of seven.

That's not what you use.

You need Amon Ra.

You need Jameson.

You need J-Mo.

They need their

J-Mo to stretch the field.

Amon Ra to keep the chains moving.

And then we'll screen past you.

We'll swing it to one of the backs out of the backfield.

Laporta, they needed to get more out of here, but Green Bay was swarming today.

They got after him.

They got after him today.

Rashawn Gary,

we had him on the show, Ocho.

He said, I'm having a big year.

Well, he got somebody that he's gonna send the double at him, so he's gonna get a lot of one-on-one.

Yeah, absolutely.

And everybody don't got tackles like Panay Sul, and I think who's the other uh uh tackle over there?

I forgot who's on the left side.

Is it Decker?

The starting left tackle for uh Detroit

is it Taylor?

Is it Taylor Decker?

Yeah, everybody don't got tackles like that.

No.

And then you got those guys.

You got what hey, they can bring pressure from a lot of different areas.

Van Ness, Wyatt.

And you know what,

you talk about all the things that we used to see in Detroit doing.

The Detroit offense is so explosive because they're able to establish the run.

They're able to establish run, but not being able to establish the run today and get those those chunk plays six, seven yards here, having them forcing, forcing Detroit to maybe have to, I mean, forcing the Packers to maybe have to drop a six down in the box

for a little help.

So it eliminates everything else you want to do on the back end because you can't get nothing going on the front end.

Yeah, you need to establish the run, Ojo, for the simple fact, I don't have a mobile quarterback.

Right.

I don't have a mobile quarterback.

So if the play break down, see, here's the thing.

A lot of these quarterbacks you need now

moving forward, what you're starting to see you need guys at the quarterback position that can get off script so if i if i call something

even if i don't call the perfect play right he can get me out of that play with his legs yeah he can get me out of there and buy me time because a lot of times can a guy get off sheet can a guy get away from the play that you call and make something out of it So if I just give you disingredients, can you make something tasty with the ingredients that I gave you?

Or can you use like, man, don't worry about this.

I got something better.

Hey, listen.

And that's not what Jerry Goff feels.

We know who and what Jerry Goff feels.

He can throw the ball, Locho, but he ain't making no plays that's on script.

Yeah.

I mean, listen,

there are a handful of quarterbacks where a coach can call and play

and he sees something completely different and he can make something out of nothing.

Yes.

Call the right defense,

but damn, now we stuck.

Yes.

I've used my legs

making something out of nothing there are very few that can do it true

detroit's offense failed to score a touchdown through three quarters which hadn't happened since 2023 week seven at baltimore and that was my concern though cho okay you got the same guys but they're not ben johnson the guy that's calling plays now he didn't go audition for a head coaching job right he's never been he's never auditioned he's never been a head coach before he's never been an offensive coordinator before right right so you're asking someone you put someone in a position, and I'm not saying that he can't be good or he won't be good in the future, but I'm saying it's going to, you got to have some growing pains.

I mean, I've never seen a kid be able to just all of a sudden grow from walking, I mean, go from crawling to walking without falling and busting his butt or her butt or hitting his head.

That's just a part of walking.

So a part of calling plays when you've never done it is to go through trial and error, to go through growing pains.

And they're going to have some of these in Detroit, Ocho.

They are.

You lost both.

You lost your DC and your OC.

It's going to be some growing pains.

Yeah.

It's going to be some growing pains.

And do I think they'll figure it out?

Yeah, I do.

I think they'll figure it out.

But

it's not going to be as smooth and as seamless as it has been the last couple of years.

That's for sure.

Right.

But

I thought Green Bay

defensively,

defensively.

That's what, look, I agree with you, Ocho.

They can run the football.

Look, they got receivers that I don't look at any of these guys like, oh, man, I'm just,

I ain't looking at none of these guys like I look at a Chase, like I look at

a Jeddah.

Right.

Well, they can hurt you.

They can.

And there is one.

If he's all that he's been advertised to be in Matthew Golden, he's supposed to be.

similar to that which is why they got him in the in in in the first round right he's a 4-2 guy we weren't weren't able to see that 4-2 today.

He did make some plays, but I'm excited to see what they do with him going forward.

Jaden Reed, nice.

All nice.

What scares you about him, Ocho, is that because from week to week, you don't know.

See, you set your game plan.

You're like, okay, we got to take this guy away.

We got to take Chase away.

We got to take Jetta away.

We got to take CD away.

There are certain guys you go into the game.

Who are you trying to take away?

You don't know.

You don't.

You never know.

You don't

know who's going to buy.

Week to week, it varies with them.

Week to week, it varies because there's not a whole lot of difference between Dobbs, Reed, Wicks,

ain't a whole lot of difference, Ocho.

Right, they all about this, you know.

Uh, uh, and then uh,

Christian, he's not there, he's your speed merchant, he just can't stay healthy.

He's phenomenal.

I like him a lot, but he just can't stay healthy.

Yeah, but he'll be

he won't be back what, till later in the season, huh?

I mean, way, way, way back because he tore his ACL.

And you know, he had a when you normally guys that have that kind of speed, they normally have they they they bound they wound tight, so they normally have hamstring issues, right?

He he's battled a lot of hamstring issues, yes, sir.

Um, but I did like what I saw from Green Bay offensively, uh, even though they didn't do it, they didn't have a uh

a whole lot of plays.

Uh, the stats don't jump off at you, they probably had what um

260 yards

but you only gave up 13 points and they gave up that on a spectacular catch the guy caught the ball one hand over outstretch i i could live with that but green bay defensively those guys were hunting today they look good they were they were they were hunt they were hunting today and that's what you're gonna need um

you know Boy, I'm already chopping at the bed.

I want to see week four.

Wait, week four, Dallas?

Dallas and the Packers?

Green Bay and Green Bay goes.

Hey.

Wait, I'm telling you.

Dallas.

Dallas.

They're playing in Dallas.

They're playing in Dallas.

Hey, let's go to the game.

I ain't going to the game.

You can go.

No, I'm asking you.

Let's go to the game.

So I mean, we can live stream the whole game.

Me and you sitting there watching the game, chilling in the stands.

Like that's that's that's you know, no, like a live broadcast.

Unconocho, live at Pat.

I ain't trying to do, I ain't trying to do five hours of tv

i it just no i'm telling you uh man ash man talk to unknown man

uh

it's uh

i'm sure i'm sure they got some some stuff drawn up for him to try to you know try to but micah gonna be micah gonna be coming he believes he believes there's not anybody on the defensive on the offensive line that can block him absolutely not hell there ain't nobody on any defensive line that can actually block him on any other other 31 teams so well he's gonna be he gonna be he gonna be chomping chomping at the bit i'm excited to see that game but they look good today not just micah but the the the the the packers defense defense in general quay walker uh wyatt sean gary all those guys looked extremely well they were they were getting after and and it's easy to get look when you become one-dimensional that's why everybody wants to try to establish some resemblance of a run game yeah once you become one-dimensional and those guys like okay we're gonna play the run on the way to the quarterback.

It's a wrap.

It's a wrap.

It is an absolute rap.

And Green Bay looked good today.

Just Jordan Love looked good today.

16 of 22, 188, two touchdowns.

Look,

Jerry Goff had 39 attempts.

He had 225 yards.

If you take the sack yards out, he had 200 yards passing on 39 pass attempts.

He completed 31 passes.

So that tells me if there are a lot of check downs, Ocho.

What?

you got 39 pass attempts and you ain't got more than 250 yards.

You got 225 yards.

So that means, hey, that tells me you shortfishing.

You ain't got nothing deep.

All you're doing is figure, hey, you throw a little cane pole out there.

Yep.

He had to get the ball out early.

Yeah.

Ball had to come out early.

Went through progression.

Okay, boom, that's covers.

Boom, that's covered.

That boom, that's covered.

I got to get it down.

Yep.

And,

well, the Packers knew that.

Once the Packers got them down, Ocho, and you can't run the ball, so they know you got to throw.

And they know that we know the ball got to come out quick.

So, hey,

those guys did a great job today.

What?

Packers got four sacks, countless pressures.

Van Ness had a sack.

Rashawn Gary had a sack and a half.

Van Ness had 0.5.

Wyatt had a sack.

And Michael had a sack.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So they, you know, they'll go and work it, work him in.

Hey, we don't want to, to, we don't want to stress him too much.

The back, know the back.

And so we'll put more on his plate.

He played 29 snaps.

29 of the

wow.

He played 29 of the 52, 53 total snaps.

Excuse me.

Counted snaps.

That was a pretty good day.

Yeah.

He had some pressures.

Had a sack.

He had some good battles with Panay Sewell, too.

Oh, yeah.

He's going to have that.

Bingles beat the Browns 17-16.

The Browns outganged the Bingles 327 to 141 and had the ball for nearly 36 minutes, but it wasn't enough.

And this is why you need to find your quarterback.

I don't know why y'all fooling with Joe Flacco.

Y'all know Joe Flacco is not taking y'all anywhere.

He's not your quarterback of your future.

If I'm going to lose, I'm going to lose trying to find out who my quarterback is.

That's just me.

I don't care.

I don't care if it's Gabriel.

I don't care if it's Shadu.

I don't care who it is.

I just know Joe Flacco is your quarterback.

It don't matter who was at the quarterback.

It could have been Patrick Mahomes.

It could have been.

It could have been Leviathan.

You missed the field goal and you missed the PAT.

So don't say that.

Let me finish.

Let me cook.

Let me cook.

The Bengals won the day.

The Bengals won the day 17-16.

The football guards were on our side.

That's what happened today.

That's what happened today.

Every time the Bengals...

play the Cleveland Browns, the games are always like this.

It's sloppy.

A lot of people look at the stat line.

Oh my God, Chase, he didn't have that many catches.

Look how many yards he had.

They look at T.

Higgins.

He didn't have any catches.

Look how many yards he had.

Anytime you play the Brown defense, I've said this countless times on NICAP, and people laugh at me.

Oh, the Browns suck.

The Browns have a very, very, very good defense.

They match up very well with the Bengals offense.

Their front forward, Mount Garrett, is very good.

What do they do to throw off the timing?

You can't go quick game because all they're going to do is have Greg Newsome up and press, have Denzel Ward up and press, and there's no quick game because now, boom, you drop back to throw the ball, Miles Garrett is on Joe Burrow's ass.

And I told you you're going to have two sacks, too.

Yeah, listen,

you try to run quick game.

You can't run quick game because

them two fools on the outside are really good at playing bump and run.

It's throwing off the timing of the offense.

Yep.

Which is why the game looked the way it did today.

And it's always like that when you play a divisional opponent that knows your tendencies.

They're familiar with your offense.

They're familiar with your players.

It is what it is.

It's always a tough game anytime we play them.

Hell,

it's been damn near 20-something years since I played.

And our games were just like this against the Browns.

Joe Flacco, 31 of 45, 290, a touchdown,

two picks.

yeah.

We had some drops.

I'm talking about we.

I'm sorry.

I don't play for the Browns.

Two picks.

My receivers, my receivers in general.

My receivers had some drops.

We got to fix those things.

We got to, my receivers, regardless of what team you play for, we got to help our quarterback out.

We got to help our quarterback.

Oh, for sure.

That's it.

That's it.

Yeah.

But Cleveland, you know, and see, these are the type of games, Ojo, that gives you confidence.

These are the kind of games you got to win.

Yeah.

You can't lose a game like this.

You miss a PAT, you miss a field goal.

I mean,

this is what's frustrating.

Because if I'm on that team, I know Joe Flacco is not taking us anywhere.

I know that.

Everybody knows that.

He wasn't that bad today.

I'm a Bengal fan.

He wasn't that bad.

He had two picks.

The picks were

catchable balls that popped up in the air.

How about this here?

The Bengals had 159 yards.

Let me take that back.

Let me take that back.

Let me take that back.

Let me take that back.

No, no, no, no.

It's an NFL game.

Joe Burrow, who led the league in passing yards and touchdowns last year, they had

141 total yards.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

Do we understand who they were playing?

I get it.

I understand it.

How many times do you think of the NFL team, you'll win a game and you have 141 total yards?

How many games?

So what we're going to do starting this week, we're going to chart.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Every week,

are the Cincinnati Bay going to play in that Browns defense?

Absolutely not.

Because next week, when we play and Chase go for 200, and goddamn Teegan go for 150, then what?

It's based on the personnel you have.

That's why the game looked the way it did today.

We're going to chart.

How many games a team win when they have 141 or fewer yards?

It don't matter what somebody else does.

We're going to talk about the team.

Okay, okay.

The The 141.

Not if it's chain, if it's just the bingles.

I'm talking about every team.

How many teams will win a game when they have 141 yards of offense?

Not many.

Not many.

That's my point.

Not many.

That's all.

That's all I'm saying.

Listen, listen,

you played in tough divisions, especially AFC North.

And you know how most of the time it's low scoring games.

It's back and forth.

Whoever makes the least mistakes normally wins those games.

Normally.

Cincinnati score.

I mean, if Cleveland says, you know what, Cincinnati only go score three points in the second half.

Right.

Oh, you take, we take that?

Right.

We out.

We have, we have the ball 11 more minutes.

We're nine of 16 on third down.

We're two of three on fourth down.

We have 22 more plays.

We double them up on yardage.

We average 4.6 yards per play.

They average 2.9.

Unc, you understand too, Uncle You've been been in the AFC.

You know how it is.

I know ideas.

You know how it is, especially.

Listen, Ravens, Ravens, Steelers, Browns, Bengal, when they play, we know each other extremely well.

It's like being married and as a husband, you start a sentence and your wife can finish it off.

Yes.

They play each other.

They know exactly what's coming.

It's

nip and tuck.

Whoever makes the least amount of mistakes in those games normally wins it.

Sometimes it's low scoring.

Sometimes you get games that's high scoring sometimes very rare

but listen we pull this one off today and all i can say is we want to know and at the top of the division and the afc and listen the afc north you and the feelers it runs through cincinnati

man baltimore baltimore baltimore gonna drop 1700 points on y'all who baltimore Well, you talk about the wire, the movie?

The movie?

The movie?

The movie The Wire was filmed in Baltimore.

The movie the wire was filmed in Baltimore.

All I know is

0-1.

The Ravens are 0-1.

They won't be 0-1-1 against Cincinnati.

You want to bet something?

Nope, I don't.

That's anybody else in the chat.

If you want to bet Baltimore versus the Ravens,

let me know.

He ain't going to pay.

I'm going to pay.

I'm going to pay.

As long as I owe them, they'll never be broke.

but i i i was i'm not surprised yeah how well the big uh uh the the uh the browns defense because i told you miles gary is gonna be disruptive they got no answer for him

nobody got no answer

yeah i mean hey joe burrow probably say he read he ran a he ran a uh uh uh an exit stunt yeah and came up the middle of Joe

Joseph

i know damn well Hey, somebody turn.

Of all the people y'all could

run Scott three, it hit me in my mouth.

Y'all didn't let this dude do that.

And he gave it, the funny thing about it, Miles give everybody problems, huh?

Everybody problems.

He played three technique.

He gets scooted over to the five very, very so often.

Very, very often.

He even go to the nine.

Wait, I got that backwards, the other way.

Flip it, flip it, flip it.

Yeah.

Always at the nine.

I'm talking about wide nine too, huh?

Yeah.

I'm talking about about wide.

He's looking at his lamb and like,

which one of y'all let that motherfucker hit me?

Hey, hold on.

Hey, did you see the play he did on Orlando Brown?

Yes.

So wide and did like a Euro step.

Did a Euro step over and over just to get around.

And that's where he came up the middle.

I'm like, what the hell is he doing?

He got.

He got a

man that big shouldn't be that athletic.

No.

I mean, he can bend the edge.

That first step is everything for

a defensive end or edge rusher.

He can generate speed to power because, hey, he getting wide and he knows you got to kick to him.

And he knows when you got kicked, when you got a kick, you ain't dropped no anchor.

So he just bully.

Hey, he just.

Yeah.

Kimmy Joe.

But give him, look.

Last year, the Bengals would have found a way to lose this game.

Yeah.

This year, they found a way to win the game.

Cleveland, like, hey, we wish, hey,

keep plugging away.

Keep plugging away.

But Cleveland, y'all got to find a quarterback.

Yeah.

I'm going to say this before we go into the next game.

Okay.

Cleveland Browns are very good.

I continue to say it over and over every time we're on the show before the season started.

Their defense is really good.

I had a conversation.

with Zach Taylor.

I went to the walkthrough Thursday.

I'm like, hey, Zach, I understand.

We're playing the Browns.

Can we do this off it?

We just chit-talk.

Just chit-chat.

How come you can't do this

offensively to go

play the Browns and so we can score a lot of points?

First thing he says,

yeah,

there are very few teams that are built and have the personnel that can play with any high-power offense.

And the Browns are probably the best at it.

Their front four, their back end is extremely, extremely good.

They line those dudes up.

I mean, we don't watch all 22, but if you watch the all-22,

man-to-man, safety right there in the middle of the field,

we playing ball like the old school Raiders.

Yeah.

Playing ball.

They got some good defensive players.

They do.

Really good.

Man, by that number 95.

Yeah, 95, zero, and they got damn Denzel Ward.

Man, Jesus Christ.

Them boys good.

The Commanders beat the Giants 21-6.

New York offense did not look competitive with Russell running it.

I was checking back and forth in this game.

It seemed like every time I turned in, it was putting the ball.

Russ was pressured on 16 of his 45 dropbacks, 35%, and handled that pressure quite poorly.

He was 2 of 12 for 26 yards, sacked twice when pressured.

New York managed his 231 yards of total offense, averaged 3.2 yards per rush, stumbled twice into the red zone.

When asked if he would consider starting Jackson Dart, excuse me, Dart, next week, Dayball said, we're going to get home and look at our game.

When asked if Wilson would start against the Cowboys, Dayball was equally non-committal.

We're talking about after every game,

I've got confidence in Russ.

We'll go back, evaluate the take.

This game isn't on Russell Wilson.

It's not a Russell Wilson.

Let's make that clear.

I have confidence in Russ.

We have to do a better job all the way around.

Now, it was reported that, and like I said, it's maybe I didn't stay long enough to see Dart get any snaps.

Did he get any snaps in this game, Ocho?

Did you watch it?

I was stunk.

I had all the games on at one at one time at the sports book.

So I'm not sure at what point where Jackson Dart might have come in.

When I was watching, I was watching Russell Wilson.

Most of the time, he was running.

No,

no, he didn't come in.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Because there were reports that he was supposed to have a package.

They would have a package or two for Jackson Dart.

But Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson was 17 to 37, 168, sat twice, under 26 quarterback rating.

They had 20, 20, they had what, 74 rush yards on 23 rush attempts.

Go ahead, Ocho.

Now, I will say that goddamn defensive line, but it had Russ running for his life.

Every time he got back to even throw a ball, the passing lanes was gone because everybody in his face.

Everybody was in his face most of the time, most of the game.

Every time I looked up, I look at the TV to the left.

I'm like, well, goddamn, Russ.

Every time I look up, you're getting hit.

You're getting sacked.

You're running for your life.

There's certain things you can't put on the quarterback, regardless of who you put in there.

Jackson Dart had to deal with that.

But what I saw today,

man,

I don't think anything would have been any different because he would have been running for his life.

True.

Drew and Sue and Eminem's minis.

And baking the surprise birthday cake for Lou.

And Sue forgetting that her oven doesn't really work.

And Drew remembering that they don't have flour.

And Lou getting home early early from work, which he never does.

And Drew and Sue using the rest of the tubes of M ⁇ M's minis as party boppers instead.

I think this is one of those moments where people say, it's the thought that counts.

M ⁇ Ms, it's more fun together.
