Speaking of all offensive performances, the Colts beat the Dolphins 33-8.
Tua completed 14 of 23, 114 yards and a touchdown, but threw two interceptions, lost a fumble, his second multi-turnover game in his past three starts.
Tua QB rating was a passing rating with 51.7, was the lowest of his career in a game that he did not leave early.
Today marked the fewest passing yards in such a game since week 18 of 2021.
Ocho, he looked awful.
Yeah,
I watched the game.
I had the Dolphins game on, nice and big up there in the sports book.
And
I expected more.
I expected more from the Dolphins in general.
I see the direction in which they are going, going young, letting a Jalen Ramsey go.
Obviously,
Minga Fitzpatrick being there, being the lone veteran back there in that secondary.
We got to do something.
We got to do something at the quarterback position and finding a way where we can have some type of consistency to give us a chance.
Oh.
Give us consistency to give us a chance.
We'll go 0-16.
0-17.
How many games?
It is 17.17.
We'll go 0-17, man.
Playing like we play today.
Oh, yeah.
And
hold on.
Let me, I'm trying to find this.
Boy, y'all was terrible.
I was like, oh, my gosh.
Yeah, it was bad.
It was bad.
It was bad.
And I didn't expect Daniel Jones to look like he looked.
I didn't expect Daniel Jones to look like he looked.
Man, they had a thing up there.
They said, Daniel Jones looked like Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson looked like Daniel Jones.
Man, y'all, they were terrible.
Oh, here it is right here.
I mean, I think it was the first time they had scored on three consecutive possessions since Peyton Manning in 2006.
Yeah, man.
Okay, so yeah,
they started the game.
Oh, they scored.
They kicked a field goal.
They scored a touchdown.
Scored a touchdown.
Kicked a field goal.
Scored a touch, kicked another field goal.
I mean, dang, hold on.
So they got one, two, three, four, five, six.
They scored on six of their first six possessions.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then listen.
Two will look bad, don't you?
And then, and, and, then, and then, and, and, and Reek was frustrated.
Yeah.
He's like,
it's tough, man.
It's tough.
It's tough.
It's tough.
But listen, we doing over unders.
You think, you think
if things continue to go like this?
We already had this conversation this summer.
You told me they would trade Reek.
If things continue to go like this, being that
they're going younger, as you can see, letting Jalen go, they're resetting, they're rebuilding.
There could be a chance.
There are many, many suitors that can use Tyreek.
Many suitors.
Still one of the best in the game.
Don't be fooled because things aren't going right collectively.
as a cohesive offense over there with the dolphins chat y'all remember me and ocho had this conversation and he laughed at me and look talked about but uh what you talk about yeah because i expected them to look completely different as opposed to what i saw today
now you there's a chance they can bounce back there's a chance they can bounce back after today's performance because that was oh they don't look good defensively though ocho
man our our identity was never our defense anyway it was our offensive okay so you did offensively you got sacked three times you threw two picks and you fumbled so what's your identity now?
You probably got bags in your face because you don't want nobody to know who you are.
Hey, that was bad, boy.
That was bad.
But all you can do, all you could do, go back to the drawing table, you go in there Monday, you watch film, you take Tuesday off,
go hit the cold tub, hit the hot tub, and you get back to work Wednesday.
But who the dude the dolphins got?
Because I'm sure whoever the next game is, it's a winnable game.
I don't know who they got.
Chad, who the Dolphin got next?
His QB rating was 2.7.
God damn.
Yeah.
That's real?
That ain't even good.
That's a good GPA.
I mean, that's a C.
Yeah, we got the pass.
Okay, we good.
We good.
We good.
We good.
You do realize, hey, Hal Landry had two and a half sacks today.
I don't know.
They might get y'all, Locho.
Nah, nah, we're good.
Listen, the Raiders, the Raiders just beat the pass today.
The Raiders beat the pass a day.
Gino was out there goddamn dealing.
And if we're going to have a rebound game to get that bad taste at our mouth against the Colts, a game that obviously you would think we should have won, but we didn't.
Because Danny Dimes was dealing today.
He was dealing.
Jonathan Taylor was doing his thing as well.
I think we beat the Patriots.
We beat the Patriots.
And all of them.
They playing in Miami.
Yes.
Oh, man.
We got this.
We got this.
We good.
We good.
Y'all not good, Ocho.
We,
you, Unc, it's week one.
It's week one.
I don't care if y'all play like this in week 10.
Y'all look bad.
Did you look bad?
Yes or no?
Yeah, we look bad.
We look bad.
I'm just being honest.
But, you know, this is the NFL now.
You know how, you know, how one week you look bad.
The next week, well, where the hell this come from?
It happens.
It's possible.
It's possible.
It is.
It is.
But I think the thing is that's concerning for me, Ocho, is your quarterback has to play well.
He has to stay healthy.
And it's like, it is like now, Ocho, anytime he gets hit, the ball comes out.
Yeah.
You know, Ocho.
Hold on.
He got the ball out here.
You got to have that ball.
You got to have two hands on that ball just in case because you can't see everything around you.
Anytime you're in that pocket, you got to be here.
You got to be.
That clock, that time, that clock, that clock has to go off in your head.
And understanding people rushing.
Daniel Jones was 22 or 29, 272 and a touchdown.
Hey, that's nasty work right there.
That's good work, too.
Yes.
Good work.
And that's, look,
son, we don't need, son, we don't need you.
We don't need you to be
John Elway or Peyton Manning.
So just don't just don't turn it over.
Right.
That's it.
Just give, just give us a chance.
Give us a chance.
That's all we ask of you.
Give us a chance.
If you give them a chance, they got the defense is good.
Yeah.
You know, they got Frank,
they got some guys over there.
But oof.
Damn, Dolphins.
Don't worry about it.
Fins up, baby.
Fins up.
We good.
We're going to be all right.
We're going to be all right.
What did the Broncos look like today?
They won.
They barely won, but okay, go ahead.
Boy, we put a thing on the Titans.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Barely won.
Yeah.
You concerned for your Dolphins?
Hell yeah.
After what I witnessed today.
You just told me.
Chad this man just told me it's one game.
It's one game, but I'm trying to be optimistic.
I'm trying to be optimistic.
We cannot have that type of show, and there has to be some type of promise.
When you watch a game, we watch the NFL game for four quarters.
You got to see something.
Okay, you know what?
That was something good that we can build off of.
Okay, this is the area we need to work on.
Unk.
We need to work on every goddamn area.
Everything.
We need to work on all three fittings of the game: offense, defense, locking, tackling, running, throwing.
Other than that, y'all pretty good, don't you?
Hey, y'all let Indiana Jones do a number on y'all.
They got, y'all got that.
Y'all got y'all got the people calling that man Indiana Jones.
Yeah, hey, hey, Danny Dime, did listen, Danny Dime.
No, he'll he ain't Danny Diamond no more, Ocho.
They called him Indiana Jones.
Okay, I got you.
I take that.
I say, what?
They gave this man a nickname after one game.
Danny Manning.
I say, oh my goodness.
He was out there dealing.
I'm going to be honest with you.
He was out there dealing.
He did a number on y'all, Ocho.
And he had two.
I mean, he threw for.
Hold hold on, Danian Jones had a touchdown.
He rushed for two touchdowns.
The Colts scored on all seven of their offensive possessions in today's victory, becoming the first team since at least 1978 to score on every offensive possession in a game.
That's what Indiana Jones did to y'all.
A defense, we need, we, we need
that, that, that, don't make, don't make me sad.
Don't make me sad because I've been in good spirits.
My Bengals won, and I'm hoping.
I'm hoping.
Matter of fact, I'll tell you what.
If the Dolphins lose to the Patriots this next upcoming week, my allegiance to them,
I can't do it no more.
Can we be done?
I'm done.
I'm done.
I've been listening.
I've been going through this since 1984.
1984, when I understood that I'm from Miami.
Yes.
My home team is the Miami Dolphins.
And things ain't ain't been right since.
Okay.
Well, God damn, man.
Yeah, y'all look bad, Ocho.
Y'all look bad.
The Packers beat the Lions 27-13.
Jordan Love threw a pair of touchdowns, and Michael Parsons had a second.
It's Green Bay debut.
The Packers delivered an exceptional defensive performance.
After getting outscored 99-40 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 NFC North now?
Man, heck, hell yeah.
Boy, you see them boys today.
Boy, you see
Jordan Love dealing,
Golden, Hicks, Dobbs,
Reed, Mason.
Josh Jacob was trying to get loose a little bit.
You know, he wasn't able to go crazy.
Defensively, the Packers look good too.
You know, they contained Jameer Giggs.
He didn't have 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.
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, they're there.
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 need to get more out of here, but they did.
Hey, Green Bay was swarming today.
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 going to send the double at him.
So he's going to 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 tackle over there?
I forgot who's on the left side.
Is it Decker?
The starting left tackle for Detroit.
Is it Taylor?
Is it Taylor Decker?
Yeah, everybody don't got tackles like that.
No.
And then you got those guys.
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're used to seeing 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 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 call something, even if I don't call the perfect play,
he can get me out of that play with his legs.
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 tasty with the ingredients that I gave you?
Or can you use it, like, man, I have no 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 off 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
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, Joe.
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.
He's never been, he's never auditioned.
He's never been a head coach before.
He's never been an offensive coordinator before.
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 calling to walking without falling and busting his butt or her butt or hitting his head on something.
That's just the part.
That's just a part of walking.
Right.
So a part of calling plays when you've never done it is to go through trial and error, error, to go through growing pains.
And they're going to have some of these in Detroit, Ocho.
They are.
You lost both.
You both 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 but i thought green bay
defensively
defensively that's what look because i i agree with you ocho they can run the football they got look they got receivers that i don't look at any of these guys like oh man i'm just oh i ain't looking at none of these guys like i look at a chase like i look at a a jedda 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 got him
in the first round.
He's a 4-2 guy.
We 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 you trying to take away you don't know
you don't you never know
guy you never knew
week to week it varies with 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 ojo right they all about to say you know uh uh and then uh 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 until later in the season, huh?
I mean, way, way back towards ACL.
And, you know, he had a, when you normally guys that have that kind of speed, they normally have,
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
whole lot of plays.
Uh, the 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 can live with that but green bay defensively those guys were hunting today they look good wow they would 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 uh week four
wait week four dallas about dallas and the packers green bay and green bay goes
hey wait i'm telling you dallas
they playing in dallas they're playing in dallas hey let's go to the game we can't i 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 crack, in the stands.
Like,
that's, you know, like a live broadcast.
unknown
live it
i ain't trying to do i ain't trying to do five hours of tv
it just no i'm telling you uh man ash man talk to 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 michael 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 31 teams.
So
he's going to be chomping, chomping at the bit.
I'm excited to see that game, but they look good today.
Not just Micah, but
the Packers defense.
Defense in general.
Quay Walker, Wyatt, Sean Gary, all those guys looked extremely well.
They were getting after him.
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.
Once you become one-dimensional and those guys like, okay, we're going to play the run on the way to the quarterback, it's a wrap.
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, he 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 day ball said we're going to get home and look at our game when asked if wilson would start against the cowboys day ball was equally non-committal we're talking about after every game i've had 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 i i and like i said it's maybe i didn't stay long enough to see uh dart get any snaps uh 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 when i was watching i was watching russell wilson most of of the time he was running.
No, he didn't come in.
Okay, okay.
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 of 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 came 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, God damn, 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.
right washington ran the football extremely well today 32 rush attempts 220 yards obviously sometimes uncle you know when you played obviously when i played when carson would get plays when plays would come in
one play but he has the freedom to be able to change his play based on what he sees right whether it's a run play if it's if it's if it's tossed right but you know what you know let's we're gonna go dive left based on based on the defense based on adjustment based on what i see with my own eyes Yeah, I have the experience.
I wonder if Russell has that freedom to do so.
When the play comes in, he actually has to stick exactly with what it's called because, based on the play calling, from what I saw today,
it's like it's
hindering Russ from being able to do some of the things that he does well.
Well, I'm not so sure he had that ability.
He probably hadn't had that.
I don't know if he ever had it in Seattle, maybe later in Seattle.
He definitely didn't have it with Sean Payton.
Oh, no.
And I'm not so sure he had it last year with
Arthur Smith.
No.
So the likelihood of him coming in there and having that kind of control now, Ocho, doesn't seem likely, but hey, they just need to play better.
We're not going to put all this on Russ,
although he was less than 50% completion percentage.
And then neighbors, it seemed like I don't know what that was about.
What did neighbors and Dayball was trying to get him to go back in the game?
He was talking to him, trying to get, but neighbors seemed like he was like, man, I'm done with this.
Yeah, he frustrated.
He frustrated.
He frustrated.
Listen, players like that.
I say this with AJ Brown, too, when the Eagles played, having to wait all the way to the third quarter, nine minutes in the third quarter to even touch the ball.
You have a player that is special as Malik Neighbors.
You get him the ball early.
It don't have to be nothing crazy.
Throw him a little, throw him a little smoke route, throw him a screen route, give him a reverse.
Let him feel like he's involved in the game instead of out there getting all that goddamn cardio.
Get it to him early.
Yeah.
and you will have him late all game um that's what that's that's what you should do yeah
uh what you should do and what they actually do is not always the case uh but you're absolutely right or you you're absolutely right ocho is that uh when you're dealing with these uh uh these these number one receivers you got to give them something early in the first quarter yeah i mean just ain't nobody asking you know to ask jordan or to ask steph curry to ask one of these great players look we don't want you to take a shot until the third quarter.
No, no, just you do, hey, everything, just run around out here, Steph.
You just run around off these picks and do all this stuff.
And we're going to run, you know, A, all that we're going to do, but don't take no shot to the third quarter.
As a matter of fact, we ain't going to let you take no shot till the fourth quarter and see how that work out.
But y'all want the receiver to get out there and run and just like just run and just run and just run.
And they don't get no action, don't get no ball thrown away.
And then that come fourth quarter, hey, here we come.
Come to do what?
Yeah,
mentally united, mentally united.
No, you're not.
It's hard.
It's a struggle.
It's a struggle.
So
we'll see what happens.
They got the Cowboys.
The Cowboys, like, hey, we let one slip away last week.
We ain't about to let one slip away this week.
Cowboys might drop.
I know it's a division game, Ocho.
Yeah.
Cowboys might try to drop 50 on the Giants.
50.
Damn.
Yep, I'm trying to.
Hey,
what was Neighbor's numbers today, Uncle?
He had five for 71 on 12 targets.
Yeah,
that's not bad.
Montelle Robinson had
six for 55 on eight targets.
That's not bad.
That's not bad.
I mean, you know, look good.
A little slow day at the office.
Not what you like.
I mean, ain't nobody go crazy at the receiver position, but Zay Flowers.
Yeah, Zay was the only one.
Hey, Zay be killing that slot, boy.
Oh, he be killing that slot.
And it's the same route over and over.
They're either that shallow or that deep over.
Yeah, oh, yeah, that's the thing, yeah.
Because you got to honor it because they hold, because because Lamar stick it in there.
You think Henry, so you hold just for a second, and by the time you realize that he's already passed the matter.
Yeah, yeah.
What you think?
You think there's some there's some tread on the tires with Russ?
Me personally, Ocho, I don't think he can, I don't think he's going to start the whole year.
You know, you and I, we had a bet over under eight games.
I think it's going to be under eight games, and Jackson Dart's going to be in there.
I do.
I think.
Honestly, based on
what he has around him is all going to come down to his offensive line if you give russ time you give you give us time to be able to process
and and allow him to make the decisions with the ball i think he's going to be all right if they can
if if they can get a running game going take some of the pressure off of us as well which obviously helps with the pass game.
I think they're going to be all right.
But so many different factors have to go right for Russ to be able to succeed because he's not the Russ of old.
He's not the Russell Wilson with the Seattle Seahawks.
That at one point, he can make something out of nothing.
As you get older, you need more help from those that are around you.
And
I'm not sure the New York Giant team is built with the right personnel where he can be able to succeed like that.
Yeah, it's
a lot of Russ
was
outside, was off script.
Yes.
Improvisation, you know, Russ was a magician with the ball.
Yeah.
Pump faking and
flicking the ball over guys and finding ways.
He doesn't have that athleticism anymore.
Like you said, I think in order for him to be at his absolute best, things have to be perfect.
And you know, the likelihood of things being perfect more times than not,
it ain't going to happen.
It's not.
So you say eight games.
You think Jackson Dar?
Yeah, I think, yeah, I think over under eight games and Jackson Dar to be in there damn
i mean oh ocho i mean you got to think about it this is his third team in three years yeah
because yeah he went from broncos to the steelers steelers to the to the giants man ocho you because you know when you start bouncing around like that ocho when you start bouncing around like that you know how they see you on the back end yeah on the back end that that that that's what that's what normally happens but obviously he's on one-year deals when he's with the steelers when he came in obviously, he was injured.
Justin Fields took over, we did really well.
Well, hell, when Russell Wilson did get the opportunity to get back in there after coming back from injury,
he went on a five-six, what, seven-game, seven-year-old like seven, yeah, seven, seven in a row.
And then obviously, the bottom fell out after that.
But
damn, I don't know, I don't know.
And plus, plus Nathaniel's Ocho, they bought no his jobs on the line.
Oh, that's right.
But if
how that's gonna look, Ocho?
I draft a guy that I don't get to coach.
Hold on, so if I so if I don't play Jackson Dart, there's a great chance I'm never gonna coach him.
Well, hell, if you do play Jackson Dart and things don't go well, hell, you still ain't gonna be able to coach him.
I, but I got I got a year, I drafted him.
I mean, that's like you, you, hey, you build a house and get a divorce, and the wife's living in it, you ain't even getting to live in the house, Ocho.
So
I just think the thing is, is that they're going to turn the dart sooner than later.
Yeah.
Because
probably four or five games, Ocho, you'll know.
You look at your division,
you'll see where Philly, you'll see what Washington, you'll see what Dallas is.
You look around the league like, oh, man, we already, we out of this.
We might as well go ahead and start building towards the future.
Right.
At some point in time, OJo, I got to start hoarding a bottle of water and canned tuna,
doomsday
is here.
I know,
I don't want the fans out there in New York to overreact.
It is week one.
I think we being a little too,
we jumping the gun a little too much.
It's week one.
Who the Giants got next, huh?
Cowboys.
Oh, shit.
Ocho, you do realize they took this man number one.
They took Jackson Dart number one, right?
Yeah.
What did they take him number one for?
To start.
And you got a jerk.
What people would consider Russ now is a journeyman quarterback.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Obviously, and you know, you know what?
With that journeyman, we talk about a Super Bowl winning journeyman who has good experience, who has good success in NFL.
Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl and was Super Bowl MVP.
How do people look at it?
What is he?
Journeyman.
Okay.
But again, Russell Wilson is starting for a reason.
What better person for Jackson Dart to sit behind and learn the game from than someone that's already accomplished what he has?
I could be wrong, or you can throw caution to win and throw Jackson Dart out there to the Sharks.
And
what normally happens to young quarterbacks when you throw them out there to the Sharks and they don't play well and they start losing confidence?
All right.
Well, if it got, I mean,
it's tough
because
that's why I think it's going to be, I don't think it'll be in the next couple of weeks, but I think by week six, week seven, you kind of know.
Right.
And we just got to move forward.
And
once we make this decision, OJO, and ain't no turning back now.
There ain't no turning back.
Once you do that, ain't no turning back.
But
that's why I say it wouldn't happen that soon.
It wouldn't happen that soon because once they do make that decision, Jackson Dart is the quarterback for the foreseeable future unless things just completely don't pan out similar to that of daniel jones
oh cho you you have been on a road trip like look here okay now i'm gonna drive and once i drive i ain't get i i ain't stopping right so once we gas up get everything you need get water get your get your get your you know get your goodies whatever bathroom use the bathroom all that
yeah i'm with you
because what hey i ain't stopping
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 jessin justin fields on they were playing some ball today boy yes hey justin fields and the boy weren't playing some ball today but i'm happy for aaron he had dk metcalf they had very very very good chemistry very good chemistry he could he caught some he's 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 him 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 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.
And with 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 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.
Mahomes, these guys, they can beat you.
You better put them away when you get a chance.
But the funny thing is-you're hanging around, Ocho.
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.
The 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,
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.
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,
gotta, you gotta 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 gonna let you out of bounds, what did that mean?
Somebody's close to the sidelines
and keeping everything inside.
And so, now her
ram see him.
I'm about to.
Hey, let me get some bowl barbecue sauce because I'm gonna put some sauce on the ribs.
That was it.
that's what 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 a uh that was an unbelievable play by an unbelievable 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 have something.
If the tackle doesn't get beat so quick, High Smith beats him clean
and feels 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.
But
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
athletically as he was in his 30s.
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, Ocho.
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 I thought, 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, caught a touchdown, recovered a fumble.
But I like what I saw from the Jets.
There's 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 you think?
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 on 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 Mark 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 III, you make your plays.
Farmuth, how you say his last name?
Fry Muth.
Yeah, Fry Mooth, make your plays.
We're going to be fine.
Let the
do all the heavy lifting.
Yeah.
I mean, I like what I saw with DK.
He 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 an opportunity, he did what he does.
Skoronik,
they slept on him, did the run to overrout.
You know, Rodgers like to throw it up all 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 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 up the field today?
Here with, I think he's 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 looked horrible.
On both sides of the ball, Ocho.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Ocho, they look horrible.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
No, they did that.
I didn't do nothing.
I didn't,
man, Minnesota.
I was speechless, Ocho.
Because Minnesota was just going around.
I was like, how long Justin Jefferson before he threw his helmet up in his stands?
Because
they did not target him.
JJ threw a horrible pick, you know, horrible pick six.
You know, that deep out, if you late and inside, he got a reservation for six in the end zone.
And next thing you know,
Minnesota has seized control of this ball game.
I'm almost certain the Chicago Bears spent $94 million,
excuse me, on offensive linemen.
They got a new center.
They got a new left guard.
They got a new right tackle.
Oh, Joe, I couldn't tell.
No.
Caleb Williams running for his life.
If Caleb Williams was Jared Goff, he sacked 10 times tonight.
Easily.
Easily.
He's running for his life.
And I was like, hold on.
I thought you and I both, because we talked about this, and oh, yo, they improved the offensive line.
They got Roma Doomsday.
They got a DJ Moore.
They got Zacchaeus.
They drafted a tight, got another tight end.
They got Cole Comet.
Defense seemed to be flying around.
And they got Ben Johnson calling plays.
DA is the Dennis Allen is the new DC.
I say, I like Chicago.
Revamped offensive line.
Oh, yo, the offensive line looked the same, if not worse, than what it did last year.
Give Minnesota credit.
I have to give J.J.
McCarthy a lot of credit.
Theoretically, he's not a rookie, but last year got hurt in his rookie season.
But this is like his rookie season.
To throw a pick six on the road
and not get down, Ocho, and to come back and throw two touchdowns and to win this game in your first start, give J.J.
McCarthy some credit.
Yeah, absolutely.
Listen, watching this game,
I really thought I was, I thought at some point, I thought the Bears were going to run away with this one i did too caleb williams looked like houdini back there obviously when being able to process dropping back when things don't happen one of the few quarterbacks in in nfl that can make something out of nothing when things break down he looked good made made some very good throws obviously once the pick six happened
once the pick six happened and jj jj left that out route inside i was like you know what yeah at this point i this this one's over
this game is over um man jj kept on plugging he did plugging kept on plugging a play here a play there he also being a dual threat quarterback being a both of them both of them could move with the ball too huh yeah for sure yeah both of them can move with the ball man before you know it man we got a ball game baby we got a ball game
uh
you looking at it ocho you throw that out route you got to be early and outside Because if you, even if you late,
it's going to be knocked out at worst.
Yeah.
yeah
and no it'll be knocked out at best the worst thing that happened is a pick six going the other way but if you late and inside oh yeah
and you and you got to have you got to have an arm you know most coaches don't throw it from the bar hash all the way out you got to have an arm so obviously jj musk got a gun on him for the coaches to be comfortable with him even throwing that ball but it's all about placement it's all about you you you want to miss far rather than miss inside.
You, hey, when he catches that ball, Ocho, he out of bounds.
You catch it, you get two feet down, you out of bounds.
Yes.
Basically, when you throw that, when that joker plants that right foot, that ball needs to be in the air because he's running on the spin.
Now he's not stopping, so he's running a speed out.
Yeah, yeah.
So when he hit, so before he hit, that ball got to be in the air.
When he speed out, when he 10 roll to 12, yeah,
it got to drop in his hands.
When his eyes turn
back to look for the ball.
That ball already got to be in the air.
Oh, for sure.
He got that ball got to already be in the air, and he got to catch the eyeline of the ball in flight.
Not watch it leave in your hand because if it's leaving your hand, oh, it's way too late.
That guy is way too late.
And you see, first of all, Ocho, the dude playing off.
Yeah.
So once he see, now he ran out and up, he cooked.
But you see how hard he you see how hard he drove on that, Ocho?
So he knew, he knew.
Hey, once he, once he saw
Jeddah put that foot in the dirt,
he said, Oh, you run it out of, I'm driving this.
You gotta trust it, though.
Because a lot of guys, they hesitate, like, I don't know, what if it's an out and up?
And you know, you might get there to knock it down.
He's like, nah, I'm gonna trust this.
If they got an out and up, coach, oh, well, they got me on this one.
That's what I mean.
I'm taking this one to the house.
But Minnesota, I didn't see, I didn't see no, I saw no sounds of life because think about it, Ocho.
Like I said, the score was 17 to 6.
17 to 6.
And the next thing you know,
Minnesota scored 21 unanswered.
Chicago got a late touchdown, got a late touchdown to make it 27-24.
But I think Minnesota going on the road in a hostile environment, this is a division game,
and they're doing it with a rookie quarterback.
And for him to put up the stats that he did, look, it wasn't, you know, 13 or 21, 43.
They ran the ball 26 times for a buck 20.
But for him to go on the road in that environment and to do when things do not, because, Ocho, if he'd have got off to a great start, I'd have totally understood them winning.
But it got off to a shaky start.
And for him to keep plugging away and keep plugging away,
his quarterback coach is Josh McCown.
I say within three years, Josh McCown is a head coach.
Oh, Josh.
What you're over under three years, Ocho, head coach.
Yeah, probably.
Especially with quarterback success.
Anytime you coach a Pacific position and that Pacific position continues to succeed on whatever team you're coaching.
Especially if it's the quarterback.
Yeah,
you're going to get your opportunity.
Yeah.
Definitely going to get your opportunity.
He played a long time, you know, back up, made some plays.
I mean, I think he played like 17, 18 years, don't you?
Long time.
Yeah, he played a long time.
But Minnesota, you got to give Minnesota credit, Chad.
Because like I said, I didn't see, I saw nothing that would make me believe that they had a chance to win this game, especially through the first three quarters.
I saw nothing.
I saw no life, especially offensively.
Now, give the defense credit
and the D.C.,
who's the DC, former coach of the Dolphins, give him credit because he had those guys flying around.
They're making plays.
Van Greenkel and Hargrove,
those guys were flying around tonight.
Oh, yeah.
That's one thing he can do.
Now, he dialed up that defense.
They get after you.
He's about the Vikings.
Vikings, D.C.
Brian Flores.
Flores, yes, yes, Flores.
Oh, give him credit.
He had those guys playing.
They were getting pressure with four guys.
Occasionally, they're bringing extra pressure, but
I thought Chicago would be better because they invested in what many thought was a weakness, which is their offensive line.
Tooney is an all-pro, a Pro Bowl player.
They got Jackson from the Rams.
I forget where the center came from, but they got it.
And I'm like, damn, are y'all sure?
Yeah.
Did y'all forget how to block?
Did y'all have to get how to pass that?
Did you get out of run block?
I'm like, because this is this is
a recap of what it was last year.
Last night, basically.
Hell, JJ McCarthy, he threw two TDs in less than, what, three, four minutes?
Yep.
Yep.
Matter of fact, it's games like this, like what we saw last night, what we saw tonight, where people say, oh, man, 1760s game is over.
You know, they go do something else, go in the garage and come back in, and the Vikings win the game.
Oh, man, hell no, this shit is rigged.
Man,
you know everything rigged.
This is all rigged.
And listen, it was surprising to me, too, but to actually watch it unfold, I'm like, well, God damn, I see why people say that.
But then you think to yourself, no,
it ain't rigged because I haven't been out there.
I went at the field.
And the momentum, you know when the momentum, when the momentum, hey, the momentum.
When you're home meta way, it does not matter.
If when you,
that's what I try to explain to people, Ocho.
Yeah.
When you have the momentum, you're going to have it because the momentum is going to swing.
You get it.
They get it.
You get it.
They get it.
They get it.
How much separation can you put between you and the team when you have the momentum?
Because they're going to get it back at some point.
Absolutely.
And if you haven't put enough momentum, if you haven't put enough space separation,
they're going to come back and bite you.
Well, you would think with that momentum, you would think a 17-6 lead is
is enough space to not lose the game, but you have JJ come coming together in that fourth quarter.
It's like, right.
Well, who the hell is well, if you think about it, Ocho, that's really, that's not, I mean, 17-6, that's really a touchdown, a two-point conversion to the field goal.
It's not like the Ravens last night.
The Ravens were up 15 with under five minutes to go.
And so now, Ocho, you need a touchdown, you need two touchdowns and a two-point conversion just to get even.
Yeah.
Just to get even.
So that was a little bit more formidable, especially, and it's still, like you said, it's the fourth quarter.
But I thought that was a more of seemingly insurmountable lead than what we saw tonight.
But considering you got a rookie who hadn't been doing much, that is, look, no matter what you thought about Buffalo, they do have the reigning MVP.
They do have a guy that you know he can go crazy.
We haven't seen anything from JJ McCarthy that would make us think that the Minnesota had that in them other than pride, other than this of the division rival, and we know them, they know us, because guess what?
Ben Johnson,
he was at Detroit last year.
So offensively, even though he's at another team, Brian Florence already know what he's going to run because I've been coaching against this guy for the last two, three years.
So
I know who and what he is.
The only thing changed is the color of the uniforms.
Now, now,
O'Connell is going to have to go back and fill out, look at say, DA and see what he ran when he was in New Orleans.
You know, maybe pull out some tape when he was the head coach at
the Raiders or old footage of when he was in D.C.
at Denver.
But for the most part, they know this offense.
They know Chicago's offense because Florence has been coaching against Ben Johnson for two to three years.
But
I was very disappointed in what I saw from Chicago, Ojo, offensively.
You think so?
Yeah.
You got two number one.
Okay, you got Roma Dunze, number one pick.
You got DJ Moore.
You got Cole Komet.
You got Zacchaeus.
You got Loveland.
And you got the number one pick in the draft.
And you rebuilt your offensive line.
You spent $94 million.
55 of it goes this year towards that offensive line.
And the offensive line doesn't look any better.
Yeah.
You had Chicago.
You say Chicago was your surprise team.
I did.
I did.
You did.
I mean you should be surprised also they look like this.
To me, to me,
I'm throwing caution to win simply because it's week one.
That's all.
That's all.
And I've done that.
You notice when it comes to the week one games,
I haven't been too crazy.
The way the dolphins look, uh, the chances of them actually looking that bad again in back-to-back weeks is slipping down.
It's the NFL.
So
because it's week one, I've given almost every team some grace.
Now, we get down the road, Uncle,
and we in week three or week four, and stuff is looking like what we saw tonight, allowing teams to come back from
being down in the deficit like that, and they come back and win in the fourth quarter.
What happened the other night with Baltimore?
Yeah, the bill scoring 16 points in a four-minute span in an NFL game in one quarter.
No, they scored 20, they scored 22 points in the fourth quarter.
They scored what 28 in the second half.
Yeah.
Hey, what we talk about in
real life, not a video game, real life.
Yeah, you know what that is.
Josh had like 240-something passing yards, if I'm not mistaken, in the fourth quarter alone.
He was crazy.
But again, week one, yeah,
I'm going to give the Bears really some grace watching Caleb Williams.
He made some good throws, had to run for his life.
He had to be Houdini.
Yeah, man.
Oh, my goodness.
And I don't know Joe Joe Joe Tooney would would would be
the the the captain left guard the the i mean yeah he would be the the leader of that that offensive line and i think jonah jackson they got from the rams i think dalman or dahlman i i'm not sure uh i i i'm just i've just glanced at his name uh when he was on the back because it was you know
You could see it and the next thing you know, it was sideways.
I couldn't see it because he was chasing somebody that was going by.
But this is not
what Ben Johnson envisioned.
Like you said, it is the first game, but I just thought I would see
more.
I would see better from what I saw from
the Chicago Bears.
But give Minnesota credit, they go on the road basically with a rookie quarterback, and they get a very hard-fought division, a division win.
So they're tied with Green Bay at 1-0 atop the division, and the Bears and the Lions are 0-1.
They're at the bottom of the division.
