Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us as you watch the Seattle Seahawks get a big division win on the road
23-20 on a walk-off field goal by Myers, who missed one earlier that allowed the Cardinals to go down the field and tie the game up 20-20, but he redeems himself.
The Seattle stays within striking distance of the undefeated 49ers, but they went on the road 2320 over the Arizona Cardinals.

It's been nominated for two awards, two signal awards under the genre, best sports podcast, and under the video, best video podcast co-host team.
Later tonight, Chiefs wide receiver, Breath of Fresh Air,
Taekwon Thornton is joining us.
But first, the ball game.
Darnold does enough, and he outduels Kyler Murray.
Seattle moves to 3-1 in the season.
Arizona drops to 2-2.
The Seahawks defense, GAAA.
They got after him tonight, Ocho.
Six sacks, eight-pass defense, two INTs.
And the two INTs, man, we're going to have to have a conversation about Marvin Harrison Jr., Ocho.
But I was surprised, Ocho.
I was surprised.
I'm surprised.
Look, congratulations to the Seahawks.
Sam Darnold, 16 of 26, 242 yards.
They got 35 carries, 155 yards on the ground.
So that was a huge win for them to go on the road on a short week.
It's always tough on a short week to go on the road because that gives you a less day because everybody else gets to stay home and you have to travel the day before.
So you get one less day.
But that was a big win, a division win for a team to go on the road and win this game.
But Ocho, are you.
Are you surprised that Marvin Harrison Jr.
has struggled as much as he have?
Considering none of the other great one, ones.
If you go back and study Ohio State receivers, they don't normally struggle.
You look at Jackson Smith and Jigbo, you look at Abuka, you look at Garrett Wilson, you look at Chris Olave, you look at Terry Gould, you look at all the receivers, David Boston, all the receivers that have come out of there,
Michael Thomas, all the receivers.
I'm surprised given the pedigree and how great we thought he was going to be because he was phenomenal.
Blitnikoff Award winner, he was a phenomenal, and he still can be.
But
I think he's in his own head, Ocho.
That's what, that's what I.
I was going to say the same thing.
Right now, he, he got the, he got the dropsies.
Listen, Uncle I've been there before.
I know exactly how he's feeling.
Sometimes when you, when you drop one, it gets in your head.
And they started off the game beautiful.
They started the game off.
They threw him something easy.
They got him a smokescreen right away.
They get his pump, they get his confidence going.
You let him touch it.
Let me touch it.
Boom.
Let me feel a part of the game.
Forget the last game and the drops that I had, but then you come back and then you miss one.
You drop a slant.
You drop a slant.
I'm not, maybe you took your eyes off the ball, but you understood contact was coming.
Oh, it happens.
And then there's an interception.
Boom.
That takes away from you.
That takes away from you right there.
They dig route, huh?
They dig route, but Kylie Murray was scrambling
to the right.
He threw it and he kind of stopped on the rock because he thought Kylie was going to scream.
Yeah, he gave up, bro.
You know, you can't.
Yeah, but he thought Kylie was going to scramble.
He thought Kylie was going to scramble out.
So he was getting ready to pivot out and open himself up for Kyler.
Kyler had already released.
Bingo.
Because you know, when they make that move like that, they're Ocho, that's something that needs to be built in that we had around
time that happens over time so you know yes you be able to read body language but obviously that was a mistake that that that that that was intercepted too right
that was yeah the first interceptor yeah so and um
the second one he throw the ball he slowly caught it and then it yeah popped up in there it bobbed him out of his hand and got the interception listen i'm glad to see well outside of how the first half went i'm glad to see in the second half
stayed stayed with him.
They had trust in him.
They made plays specifically for him down the stretch to go in there to win that game.
He had some big catches on that drive to tie the game up.
So I think that's a good thing.
And when you talk about some of the other receivers, the Ohio State receivers that have had early success in their career, I think at some point they're going to also go and get in these situations
where they struggle sometimes and they drop the ball.
It's going to happen.
It happened to all the greats, all the best.
And it just happened to him early.
it's better to get it out now as opposed to later true but he is it happened to all of us
i i i agree but you could see him take a big side when he caught that touchdown ocho now that's on uh what's 21 name hold on let me see what witherspoon witherspoon witherspoon ocho he has a safety standing right there
i don't care what you do inside I'm running to the pylon.
I'll meet you at the pylon.
And when you get there, I'm going to be standing just like this here ocho with my arms folded because the only thing the only place i'm vulnerable is where ocho to the seven route
yeah that's the only place i got a safety eight is standing right there i dare you to run i dare you to run a post i dare you run a basic cross you got help inside
you you
eight is standing right there and the funny thing about but sometimes ocho what happens is that you get so caught up in the thing about who you got oh i'm gonna d i'm gonna do i'm gonna d you up i'm gonna d you up you forget your responsibility.
You're only vulnerable to the seven route.
Only vulnerable.
And
give Kyle a credit.
He gave him a chance at it, kind of like a back shoulder.
And Marvin Jr.
elevated and went over the top of it.
But if you notice, Ocho, he does a lot better job when he can face the ball.
The touchdown.
Facing the ball.
He can face the ball.
The back shoulder.
He caught the ball like this.
It's like when he only can see half of, like, he can't get his whole body body around and pick up the whole ball.
He's going to have to get better out of picking up the ball,
picking it up.
But listen, he's been good at it because we saw him do it in college.
He's phenomenal.
He's phenomenal.
I think he injects in his head.
Once he gets out of his head, he's going to be fine.
Uncle I've had a saying, I had a game similar to that.
And I said it last time.
We played the Buffalo Bills.
Uncle I had dropped maybe three, four balls.
I'm talking about easy, easy pause, easy catchable balls, Uncle.
And it didn't really affect the game.
But the fact they even dropped them, I was in my head to the point where Carson would tell me something in the huddle, and I'd tell him, don't come to me.
Don't come to me right now.
Or when I have a slant router, I'd tell Carson, get me out.
Get me out because the out router is a little bit more comfortable for me.
I don't have to deal with it.
Because you can see the ball.
You told all?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm serious.
I would tell him, Carson, get me out on this.
Don't hear a call 284.
Obviously, you know, two is a slant.
I say, Carson,
I'm going to quick out because I'm going to get myself back in rhythm because I keep dropping the ball and I be in my own head.
So I know exactly what young bull is going through.
But he's going to be all right.
Get it out now,
as opposed to it happening later.
I think he's going to be okay.
It was very important for him.
It was very important for the offensive coordinator and college to still believe in him at the end of that series.
They give him 10.
What happened, huh?
Man, I don't know what you got.
You fought it.
It ain't coming through this.
It ain't coming through this microphone.
Oh, me?
Yeah, you.
Yeah, you.
Oh, I gotta, um, I gotta, I gotta look cold.
No, i don't i chat what did i tell y'all last night man y'all talking about man uh act like unkn in the same room no it don't matter that they're right there travel oh no

George, I think I got some lights on up under the seat, the kitchen counter, man.

And I just try to put this on at times because my girl likes it.
She likes when I sound like this.
Hey, that's sexy, ain't it?
Ain't it sexy?
Man, that thing, hey, boy, that thing traveled like a hurricane.
That thing said, that thing projecting to be here.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
It's just, hey, it just a little cold.
I just got a little cold.
My throat a little sore.
That's all.
Yeah, my throat a little sore.
Ain't nothing.
That's how I sleep.
No, no, no, no.
I slept slept under the ac i had the ac on 60 by accident you told me you told me hey chat y'all remember he say he don't burn his ac i ain't spending no god for snaking money on y'all
on the airplane
yeah on it on spirit the ac was on high bring bring those wipes or something i think i got some wipes or something up under there
yo come on now i don't know oh i'm just saying i'm just look it's just precautionary that's all
i ain't saying it could be you know it might be allergies
maybe you went outside and dogwood or cottonwood.
Maybe you're allergic to allergies.
I don't get allergies.
I just told you the AC on my spirit flight, the AC was high and I fell asleep.
And the vent was on me.
You know, little Clorox,
let me clean my little area right here.
Make sure
don't nothing happen.
Now you good?
You good?
Y'all don't mind me, Chad.
Y'all just go ahead and Ocho with his voice.
Hey, Chad.
Chat, how do I sound?
Chat, this is this is the sexiest I've ever sounded.
That's why I like sometimes when I get a little sick sometimes and my voice gets real deep.
I sound like a
radio DJ in the evening.
This is...
I don't care.
Hey, hey, look, look.
This is Hot 105.
Thank you for listening to The Quiet Storm
with Ocho.
Hey.
Yeah,
that's that bingo's voice lost.
Nah, nah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Because, listen, you.
All right.
All right.
We're going to see.
You know what?
I'm just.
Don't mind me, Ocho.
You're still talking.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, chat.
Anyway, chat.
The game was good.
The game was good, obviously.
Both teams played very well defensively.
For me, the one thing that stuck out is Marvin Harrison.
He's got to be in that same conversation with the Malik neighbors, the Justin Jeffersons, the Brian Thomas Jr.
I think Brian Thomas Jr., actually, that's another one.
Brian Thomas Jr.
this season, he's struggling right now, but I think he's going to be all right.
And listen,
we talk about, you understand the lineage, understand the DNA and the makeup in which Marvin Harrison Jr.
comes from.
He's going to be all right.
Yep.
He's going to be all right.
You have games like this, you know, as a young pup.
And
it's better to get out early like this as opposed to it happened later on down the line.
And he's going to be all right.
He's going to be all right yeah you just have to like i said you know you want him to be consistent you love the uh uh the grit the fight that he showed in the second half because he made those plays in the second half and that's what you want to see for a young player he didn't duck his head but you could just see boys like
boy i'm so glad i caught this one and it seemed like he got his confidence back um he just needs to carry that over to the next game um and like i said you know look he's got a great someone he can lean on he can pick up the phone and call his dad like dad i know you had a game or two like this what did you do how did did you get out?
Do I need to get on the jugs more?
Do I need to have the backup quarterback to throw me something where I'm just looking at a side of my head?
Do I don't have to, like, you know, unless you're just coming back straight to the ball, Lojo, it's hard to get your whole body around because most of the time you catch it like this or you catch it like that.
You know what I'm saying?
So, um,
if there's something that I need to do that would, that would help me.
But I just think the thing is, like, son, look, do what you did to get you there.
You're the fourth pick in the draft.
You've been here before.
You on the road to being a great football player.
Don't overthink it.
Don't overthink it.
Because look,
a lot of what we do is between here.
Yeah.
Look, if you get to that level, everybody got ability.
Now, do some players have more ability than others?
Absolutely.
Are some players smarter than others?
Absolutely.
You don't get to that level without having some ability.
And some players have more ability.
He has the, we're not even worried about the ability.
But the mental aspect is a lot of times what separates the guys i mean once you have the the physical capabilities and you have the mental capacity to match it
but man sometimes in the middle of a game mocho you drop one or two boy do something to you it do something to you hold on not just drop one you drop one and it ends up being an interception and it's your fault that that
yeah yeah
that makes it even worse boy
Oh, that and you got the ball.
Hey, you pull up on one, the quarterback.
You confuse the quarterback because he thinks you're going to keep going.
You pull up on him.
Now he throws it to you again.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Throw it to you again and you bobble it.
You bobble it.
You ain't no telling.
Lou.
Oh, you're doing too much, man.
I don't know what it is.
You got it.
You got OCD?
I mean, you know what?

You probably think of Michelin as a tire company, and I mean, it is, but it's really an innovation company, and that's why their tires are as good as they are.
It started in the 1800s making brake pads for horse-drawn carriages.
Later, Michelin basically invented the modern tire with the first steel-belted design.
That innovation has never slowed.
In fact, it's only accelerated.
See what I did there?
These days, through its Michelin in Motion Vision, the company is expanding into healthcare, energy, and even aerospace.
Seriously.
For instance, they're developing an airless wheel for lunar exploration.
It's got to deal with vast temperature swings, radiation, and the rough terrain on the moon, and maybe one day on Mars.
I mean, this is more than just some sort of vanity project.
It showcases Michelin's broader shift from tire manufacturing to high-tech, durable mobility solutions.
It's about the same exact thing that led to those horse-drawn carriage brake pads well over a hundred years ago.
It's about innovation.

Deborah had to have surgery.
I had hip surgery in November of 2024.
Her United Healthcare nurse, Crystal, checked on her.
We'd 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.

They ain't gonna be able to deny you, they can't deny you.
Yeah, yes, sir.
But go ahead, I'm gonna let you.
I'm gonna let you take over that.
I got excited because my dog, my dog's in the building.
Go ahead.
What's been the biggest?
I mean, seemingly, I look, I know you had a couple of injuries, your collarbone, and it seemed like you couldn't get on the feeling.
When you got on the field, it was hard for you to stay healthy.
Now you get an opportunity for your talents to flourish.
We know you had the speed, and it seems like Andy and my homeboy, you're his favorite target right now.
And it seems, what has allowed you to thrive this year in Kansas City where in years before it didn't go so well?
Really, basically just getting in the rhythm, man.
You know, just getting them opportunity, getting them reps, you know, being out there, you know, staying healthy, you know, getting those reps and challenging myself in practice, man.
I'm trying to get better every day at the little things, you know, some of the things that I'm not good at.
You know what I'm saying?
And here in KC, man, they're very,
they let me know what they really want from me, man.
And Pat, man, you know, having Pat at quarterback, man, man, he makes it a whole lot easier for me.
You feel me?
So I'm out there just running, knowing where the ball is going to be at, man.
And it's just making routine plays.
When you got your opportunity to come over from New England,
what was the role?
What did they tell you they were looking for in a receiver when they brought you on?
Man, I mean, they didn't even have to tell me, man.
You see a room.
You got guys like Xavier Worthy, you know what I'm saying?
Hollywood, Juju, Rashi Rice, you know what I'm saying?
A bunch of playmakers.
So, man, all I just had to do is just, you know what I'm saying, just find my little puzzle in there and see where I can fit at.
But it really wasn't hard, though.
They like speed.
And y'all got it.
Y'all got it to y'all got it to burn.
Now, y'all, y'all got, hey, you and Xavier and Rasheed Rice, Hollywood Bryan.
I think Hollywood ran low 4-3.
Y'all got a nice little relay team going.
We're already lining up with whoever.
But what has it been like?
Okay, you get there, and all the names that you've mentioned have all played with Mahomes
before.
Now you get there, and it seems that he's looking for you in situations you have one the ball popped it out Mahomes came right back perhaps rose and came right back to you that had to make you feel good because this is Patrick Mahomes a Super Bowl champ MVP and he got that kind of confidence in me to come back to me I mean sure we work at it at practice man we we doing long drive drill we throwing deep balls every other place
you know what i'm saying a thousand times in practice so he got a lot of faith in me so um it's just me basically going out there and just making him right.
Yeah.
And the funny thing about it, too, Ty, when you got a quarterback like that, man, a quarterback that has expectations, once he trusts you and starts throwing you the ball like that, especially on deep plays, back-to-back like that, hey, they finna keep coming.
They finna come.
And the funny thing about it is you always got to be on point and always got to be alert and understanding, regardless of what the situation is or what's going on or what the read may be, he might come to you just because in his mind, well, hell, the last time I needed to play, I knew I could count on 8-0.
For sure.
And just subconsciously, he's going to come back to you again.
So, man, dude, I'm happy for you.
You're in a great situation because the conversation that people continue to have about the Kansas City Chiefs week in and week out is the struggles at the receiver position.
And the only thing they're talking about now is you and your emergence of now being one of those that can help them win games.
And I just want you to stay on that track.
And once you open that door, all you got to do is close it behind you yeah that's all you got to do to close it behind you but go ahead go ahead
look you guys started 0-2 uh late uh uh you had an opportunity seemed like you was gonna win the game against philly and you win the game again you played the chargers and now you go to new york and do you feel this was the game that's going to get you guys back on track because seattle we're doing excuse me we're not used to seeing kansas city start the season 0-2.
We always like, hey, this is the first time that in a long time,
kansas city not really favored to get to the super bowl you know win the division they're not favored to win the afc you hear all the talk how have you been able to block the no how have you guys been able to block the noise out focus on what you can control and then go win this game win this game last sunday
man just um going in there just going to play kc football man just letting it loose having fun showing our personality i know the offense we kind of got off to a little slow start but just going out there and just keep on punching at it you know what i'm saying and we know what we can do man.
We got the players in the room, man.
We got the coaching staff, man.
We all just believe.
And we came out of that second half just to, you know, finish off and come out with a win for sure.
Yeah.
You know what, and Ty, when I think about it, I think about, we think about the Chiefs of last year.
And we're talking about the start them being 0-2 or 0-whatever at the beginning of the season.
But you have to think, those close games last year that they had this year, they won those games, huh?
They won those games.
They still had the same struggle, but they just happened to win those games as opposed to this year.
Everything's not in their favor.
So now they're having to dig themselves out of holes similar to how another team that we know about that started off good this year.
Now we're in trouble, you know, losing our quarterback.
But I, and I keep saying, as long as they got 15, they're going to be all right.
So all the talk about the struggles that they're having, hell, boy,
I'm going to say it every time, every week, boy, throw the ball to 80, boy.
That's it.
Period.
It ain't got to be no deep balls.
It all comes down to you, too, and having that mentality.
Hell, if I catch me a hitch, I catch me a slant.
I should be able to take that 80-something yards.
You know, Ty, we think about putting on a nightcap, NFL's fastest man.
You know, are we thinking about getting, we think about getting cheetah, thinking about getting you?
Xavier World.
I've been on this conversation, man.
Me?
I thought you went 4-1.
I really feel like I went 4-1.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Can I ask you a question, like a serious question?
What's up?
Like, right now, you think you're faster than me?
No, I've been trying to race you a couple years ago.
We ain't gonna speak on that.
I don't, and I ain't want to embarrass you then because I want to take your confidence because I'm still running like that.
But hey, this is a four, it's a 483 under here, boy.
It's a 483 on the hill.
This is real talk.
Uh, we're gonna see when I see you.
I'll be right back.
So, when you put that together, make sure you put me in the race.
Nah, no, these are all cheetahs, no tortoises.
So, if I gave, so we up this offseason, you train, Tom.
So I mean, we take five guys.
So we know Cheetah has been the fastest guy for a long period of time.
Whether or not he's still that remains to be seen.
We got you.
We got Xavier Worley.
I don't know.
Yeah, okay, Woolen.
We got Woolen.
Didn't somebody run 4-2 this year?
I don't know.
So we're going to take all the guys.
We're going to take six, seven guys.
And we're going to, what y'all want to run?
Y'all want to run 60?
Y'all want to run 100?
What you got?
60, 40, 60, 100.
I'll say, give me 100, man.
Give me 100.
Hey, matter of fact, hey, in the end, a million dollar prize for the winner.
So,
can I throw that at it?
Can I say, can I say a million?
Oh, oh,
hell no.
Turpin.
We might get a couple of sponsors, put a couple hundred thousand.
A million.
I mean,
that ain't bad for 10 seconds to work.
Who begging that kind of money?
A million dollars?
No, allowed.
Don't even make that kind of money.
Oh, Hollywood.
Hollywood, Hollywood, right?
That's what I'm saying.
We're going to put Hollywood, we're going to put Hollywood in there.
We're going to get Hollywood.
Wait a minute, man.
You talk about players that's making.
Come on, now.
We can't disrespect it.
We're talking about some hundred thousand.
It got to at least be a million, the kind of money they make.
Oh, Joe, you see how excited guys get when they when they get a refumble or get a fumble recovery or pick and they're gonna get $200 that's in a pot?
Don't you think it's it's not the money, it's the title of being the world, the fastest man.
NBC Sports didn't pay those guys, didn't pay Daryl Green and Rod Woodson
and Herschel Walker and Willie Galton.
It was the title.
Okay, well, we had a different time.
These boy making 20, 30 men a year.
Ocho,
how much you think the fastest, you want to be known as the best at something?
I'm the fastest, ain't no doubt.
It ain't no, well, I ran this time, I ran that time.
It's now when we lined it up and the title for the NFL's fastest man was on the line, all I know is I crossed the line first.
Now, all that other stuff, I didn't run no 4-1.
I didn't run no 4-0 when the when the but but listen i'm just telling you what what happens is when you uh when you when you add money at the end of the finish line it adds a different kind of pressure as opposed to just being the fastest man oh i'm running for a million dollars that does something
you just said they make 30 million so what's a million dollars to somebody like 30 if i'm not in season you mean i got a chance to make me alex extra spending money
talk to him yeah off season let me ask you a question what you think that guy can make if he's the NFL's fastest man?
That's his official title.
He's already the fastest man, obviously, if he, if you already ranked.
Who said that?
Who said that?
Oh, okay, I see.
Lined it up.
Until you line it up, he ain't the fastest man.
Exactly.
I get it.
Noah Lyons was the world's fastest man coming out of the Olympics.
Now we got a new fastest man, Oblique Seville.
So we got seven guys lined up.
This is for the NFL's fastest man title.
I like it.
Hey, hey, TC, like he's dying for it.
He's like, hey,
see, that's what I'm talking about.
See, that's what I'm saying.
Hey, he ain't ducking no smoke.
He's saying, hey, light it up.
Hollywood, Savior, Cheetah.
Because you know, Cheetah has been claiming this title, and rightfully so, for at least the last seven, eight years, Taekwondo.
So I don't know.
Cheetah, Cheetah can get out.
I ain't gonna lie, he ran it.
Hey, hey,
I we saw him run that 10-1-5, and he got out quits.
It's 4-2-1.
I stumbled too now at the break.
Yeah.
You did?
You did.
But I've tried to figure out how did they round it up?
How did they round it up that much?
Okay, if you want to say, okay, the 4-2-1 to 4-2-3, okay, I give you that.
How do you go from 4-2-1 to 4-2-8, 4-2-7?
I don't know.
You got to ask them.
I was just going.
I thought I was the best man.
I thought I had me an island or something.
You feel me?

You probably think of Michelin as a tire company, and I mean, it is, but it's really an innovation company, and that's why their tires are as good as they are.
It started in the 1800s making brake pads for horse-drawn carriages.
Later, Michelin basically invented the modern tire with the first steel-belted design.
That innovation has never slowed.
In fact, it's only accelerated.
See what I did there?
These days, through its Michelin in motion vision, the company is expanding into healthcare, energy, and even aerospace.
Seriously.
For instance, they're developing an airless wheel for lunar exploration.
It's got to deal with vast temperature swings, radiation, and the rough terrain on the moon, and maybe one day on Mars.
I mean, this is more than just some sort of vanity project.
It showcases Michelin's broader shift from tire manufacturing to high-tech, durable mobility solutions.
It's about the same exact thing that led to those horse-drawn carriage brake pads well over 100 years ago.
It's about innovation.

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.
I see my role at United Healthcare as a life-saving role.

Did you expect...
So when you was...
Going through your training, wherever you were, did you, where did you work at?
Did you go to Florida?
Did you work at Michael Johnson's camp?
Who camp did you work at?
I worked at SPE.
Me, Tariq,
okay.
We was all down at training.
We was clocking like four twos while we was training.
Tariq.
Okay.
So you was expecting to run as fast because everybody seemed shocked that you ran that fast at your height.
So they were like, we expect them to go fast.
But I think when you dip down the 4-3,
they're like, hold on.
We got to go back and look at some tape.
Because
it didn't, maybe it didn't look that fast on tape because now you run that fast and it doesn't look that fast on tape.
They got to go back and look at something like, What do we miss?
It's a less, man.
My less real long, so it is.
It don't look like you moving, huh?
I'm moving for sure.
He's been running like that, man, since he was a jet, man.
What a MGS, man.
Been running.
You heard me?
He ran with my daughter at Miami Gardens.
So you ran track in high school, right?
I've been track all my life.
So what was your 100 and 200 what was your best 100 best 200 my best 200
i would say was
i don't know
20 point high though it was high 20 point high yeah
i didn't i didn't really get fast at the hunt like my start got faster when i was in college like my junior got right stronger at baylor i got stronger yeah dick valor them came with davonda we started doing like the limping liftings and stuff like that Yeah, that power clean.
I only got that burst.
Because like
the 100, I was really like, I was more like a 400 runner.
The 400 race on the quarter horse.
You feel me?
So that's why I'm able to run them deep balls back to back to back.
You got, when you go, look, you guys win the game on Sunday, but it doesn't get any easier because you got a big game coming up again with the Baltimore Ravens, and you know what those guys represent.
And they lost the other night.
And it wasn't like a close game.
The score might say 30 to 38, but they got beat up and you know they're gonna come in and you guys seem to have their numbers especially uh uh in the red well you have the number i think lamar is only beating patrick mahomes once so you guys just started y'all play monday night no y'all play sunday monday night to sunday night sunday so you guys okay so it's a regular week you guys are you got hey i know andy got up at the board says hey we got this team coming in we know what they represent they know what we represent we've played each other a number of times over the years what's your mindset what's taquan thornton's mindset going into a game like this just be the best version of taequan thorn get ready for a fight you know what i'm saying take a punch give a punch and keep on going for four quarters
you know they like to play a lot of man coverage
i'm just saying i've been putting that out i've been saying that's what they like
it's so funny tyhi just said they like to play a lot of man coverage and right now against the past they rank they 29th in the nfl
i don't know what they rank i'm just telling what they like they believe they they say we like our corners against your receivers That's what we like.
Whatever we are, we are.
But that's what we like.
We like this matchup.
So now it ain't a good matchup based on the statistics and the rankings.
That's all I'm saying.
That's all.
Look, as Ocho said, they're struggling defensively.
They gave up 264 points in the fourth quarter.
They gave up 22 points in the fourth quarter.
And then.
Detroit got whatever they want.
They ran the ball how they wanted.
They did a great job.
Jerry Goff didn't get, but you know, that's not the version of the Baltimore Ravens you're gonna get.
So, what's what's your expectation from the Ravens?
I mean, that's a good football team over there.
They got a lot of good players, but um, good players too, as well.
So, like I said, man, we know it's gonna be a fight.
No, we're just gonna do play KC football, man.
That's what we're gonna do.
We'll go out there and we're gonna play
in your brief tenure in the NFL.
Who are some of the tougher, tougher DBs that you had to go up against?
Um, when I was in New england who i had to face that was pretty good
sauce was pretty good when i was out there in the wing i'm playing against sauce seeing him two times a year with him long arms um who else
have you had to go against stingley you had to go against pat sertan have you had to go against no i don't think i really went against pat like that you know i grew up playing against pat so but i ain't really right i didn't see him in the league yet but um stingley i didn't see stingley
so i just i'll say sauce sauce was probably the only one out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like it.
Yeah, but you know, I'm looking at this.
I'm looking at it now.
You theoretically were supposed to be the fastest guy because John Ross ran 422 and you had 421.
So you like feel like,
I got this.
I put my shades on and I was like, yo.
They played with us.
So
had the 421 stuck, would you have run another 40?
Actually, I didn't.
So, when they told me I had 421, I put on my shades.
That was it.
Okay.
Yeah.
It wasn't nothing else to do.
I was like, bro, the speed,
y'all don't need to.
See me at Pro Day.
So, what'd you run?
Did you run in your product?
I just ran out.
You said y'all don't saw enough of this speed.
I don't need to show y'all nothing.
Y'all get greedy.
So, what was your vertical?
What were you saying?
Because normally when somebody runs that fast when you run that fast you're explosive you got a high vertical you got a high standing alone jump so were you 10 and a half 11 feet standing alone jump were you 38 40 on the vertical i ain't gonna lie man that's a minute ago i don't remember none of them numbers yeah i was true
bro i gotta remember
i remember i i remember my stuff i jumped like a 45 i think 44 45 45 is vertical to be honest the whole time i was training i was really just running about that 40.
i'm trying to get
really that record, but I think I jumped good, though.
I think I ain't jumped bad.
I think I jumped good.
So, you so you knew the record was 4-2-2.
And so, all you guys were down there training, pushing each other, like, hey, somebody from this group need to get that record.
Uh, I nominate me.
It was me, Tariq Willen, Kaylin Barnes.
He was the um,
well, him and Willen was like the two fastest DBs.
We was working, yeah.
Hey, Kaylin Barnes fast like that, yeah.
He fast, he country fast.
He from...
Yeah.
I think he, didn't he run sub-4?
Didn't he run sub-4-3?
He's running 4-2-5.
Woo!
Woo!
Man, man,
that's fast for no reason.
Damn.
I mean, you bleed it.
He gone.
Well, Tyquan, thanks for joining us, man.
We really appreciate it.
Congratulations on success.
Continue to build on what you got going on.
Don't let up.
This is just a start.
This is what they envisioned when they took you in the second round.
The type of player that you are right now, the type of player that you're becoming, this is what those teams envisioned when they saw you at the combine and they saw you at the University of Baylor.
So continue success.
Stay healthy and come back and talk to us down the road.
Appreciate y'all, man.
Yeah, hey, boy, get it.
Appreciate you, boy.
Bro.
Sure.
Love.
Love.
All right.
Appreciate you.
Ocho, Kyle Hamilton, defending Baltimore Ravens, defensive coordinator Zach Orr today saying the sky's not falling.
Three games into the season, Hamilton said it's unfair to put all the blame on him when there's 11 guys out there on the field that are playing their hearts out and that put us in the right position.
It's just a matter of doing the right stuff.
And that's where I feel the critiques of Zach or whatever coaches are unfair because he can't go out there and play for us as much as he wants to.
He can't.
So it's up to us to go out there and get the job done.
So
it's not a Zach thing.
The Ravens defense currently rank Last in the NFL, Ocho.
They're last in 32nd.
They're 32nd in total yards allowed they're 30th in rush defense they're 31st in pass
they're 31st in points allowed hamilton also added i feel like sometimes the ravens fans can be a little spoiled just uh like the amount of success that this franchise has had we lose five games in 2024 and the world is about to end ocho Are the Ravens spoiled?
Yeah, absolutely.
Fan base is spoiled.
People on the outside watching, they're also spoiled.
People that played the game of football that no longer play are also spoiled because we envision the Ravens that moniker play like a Raven.
Ray Lewis ain't walking through that room.
Ed Reed, not on that team anymore.
Terrell Suggs is not there anymore.
Bart Scott, those defenses of the old days are not there anymore.
We play in a passing league.
And at times, you're going to have games like this consecutively.
They look bad.
They look bad defenses.
One thing I don't like that we do is when things aren't going well, the first thing we want to do, oh, fire the coach.
We need a new coach.
There's a scheme.
There's a scheme.
And when it comes to schematics, they're X's and O's.
And it's up to the players to execute that stuff.
The coaches can only coach.
They can't fucking play.
Oh, my bad.
I'm sorry.
They can't play.
They can't get out there and cover.
They get you ready through the week Wednesday with a game plan, Thursday with a game plan.
Friday, you go over Wednesday and Thursday, game plan.
Saturday, you got to walk walk through.
It's your job on Sunday to execute everything you learned and went over Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Coaches can't do no more.
I think the thing.
They can't do no more.
I think the thing for me is that spoiled.
No, the Patriots fans were spoiled.
Kansas City fans are spoiled.
You winning 10, 11 games a year and getting knocked out in the first round of the divisional round.
That ain't spoiled.
Because there are a lot of teams who could do that.
I see what you're going.
There's a lot of teams.
So I don't know what he's talking about.
Spoil.
And those teams, that Super Bowl team, that was in 2012.
We're coming up on damn near two decades.
They're not living on that.
They're not.
That decade from 2001 until 2019 when Tom Brady left, that's spoiled.
What we've seen from Patrick Mahomes in the last eight, seven years, that's spoiled.
Ravens, spoiled, spoiled for what?
Because they see this every year.
Now, a lot of it hadn't fallen on the defense.
We haven't seen them play this bad
because normally what it was is that Lamar to have a turnover.
They have a turnover at the most inopportune time.
But for the most part,
the defense, that championship game they lost, they held Patrick Mahomes to 14 points.
With Lamar Jackson as the MVP, you expect him at home, Ojo, to get more than 14.
I'm not saying you got to get 30, but you got, yeah, with Lamar,
I'm expecting, considering you the MVP, damn near won it unanimously.
So
I think, you know, they're expecting a little more than that.
But for whatever reason, they haven't been able to play a complete game.
Because if you look at it, Ocho, the first two drives,
Kansas City went right down the field.
Boom, boom, boom.
Quick and then I hurry.
Then they buckled down.
The offense got going and then they get in their own way.
The Ravens fans are probably thinking, where is that defense that I saw when y'all dropped the hammer on Detroit?
When y'all blew them out, when y'all blew Buffalo out?
Okay, where is this offense
that Lamar Jackson have perfect quarterback ratings against the Rams, against the Dolphins?
When are we going to see that?
And I think that's what the fans, fans like.
We see this great offense in the regular season, but we have really yet to see it in the postseason.
And they see this defense that's suffocating, that's stifling.
When are we going to get that?
I think also, bro, let me tell you, when it comes to it.
I think the Ravens have been so good.
The Ravens have always been in contention, even with the first round exits.
They've been so good and so promising so many years.
As long as Lamar's been there, I think they're still spoiled in a sense.
I think the success and knowing no matter what, we're going to be in contention because we played so well throughout the regular season.
I think also that what Kyle Hamilton means when he says fans are spoiled because they're always successful.
And this year, it's not happening the same.
It's not starting off the same.
Those teams, the Ravens fans, like their fifth year, they won a Super Bowl.
And then a decade later, they won another one.
So, yeah, they want to win.
And they're looking at it like, we've got one of the best quarterbacks that's ever played.
At no point in time, both of those quarterbacks that won Super Bowl could hold a candle
to what they had.
Look at the offensive line.
Look at the skill positions offensively.
Now, defensively, I don't think it's close
to what they had
when we won those Super Bowls in 2001, they won in 2012.
I don't think it's close defensively.
They got some good players, but it ain't nothing like what they, even though
Rod Woody went to the Hall of Fame, but you look at those guys,
Ed and
Ray, first ballots.
Suggs is going to the hall.
And then
they had
a loading.
they had load.
Come on now.
So,
I just think the thing is, is Matt,
we're not what we saw, Ocho, we're not used to seeing an offensive team
do what Detroit did to the Ravens, do what Buffalo did to them in the fourth quarter.
That's the concern that the Ravens fans have because we've never seen it before.
Have they lost games yet?
But
not even get to the quarterback.
The man was clean.
The man was 22, 20 of 28.
Yeah, it is.
It's funny.
No sacks.
They ran the ball for 200 yards.
We're not used to seeing the Baltimore Ravens get dominated like that, especially at home, OJo.
But you know what else I will say?
I can kind of say maybe attest that.
We are only in week three, going into week four.
That's the only thing I can say.
It's still early.
It's very early.
And football season hasn't even gotten started yet.
It's like when NASCAR, when they're getting ready, they have a NASCAR race and they go around and they're going around slow motion, warming up the tires.
That's what football, that's where everybody's at right now.
Offenses aren't even into their own until they hit
week four and five, or week six, then you into a groove, then you into a rhythm.
You got somewhat of an identity.
Oh, Joe.
It's not the offense.
Oh, the deep, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lamar Jackson has a 141 quarterback rating, they're averaging, but they're averaging damn near 40 points a game, and they're one and two.
He has yet to turn the ball over.
He has yet to turn the ball over.
It's the defense, defense.
But when you let, hold on, when you're 32nd in total yards allowed, when you're 30th in rush defense, when you're 31st in pass defense, and you're 31st in pass yard,
I mean, points allowed.
That's defense.
It's funny.
It's funny how the the pendulum has shifted, huh?
You notice that?
The offense, when you played, it was, well, maybe not that bad, but the numbers might have been there.
And the defense was all.
We in the middle of the pack.
In the middle of the pack, we in the middle of the pack.
All the way at the top.
Either one or two or three, one or the other.
And everything is, that pendulum has shifted to where it's almost the defense.
Like I say about the Bengals, all the Ravens have to do, you ain't got to be top one, two, or three.
Just meet us halfway.
That's all we ask.
Just meet us halfway because being all the way at the bottom, that means everybody's going to run through us.
Everybody's going to run through us.
No matter what we do, offensive.
You saw where the Bengal were last year.
It was a prime example.
All you had to do is just look to your right at a team in your division.
Look at how many yards Joe Burrow passed for.
Look how many touchdowns that he passed for.
Look at where his defense was
and look at where they were at the end of the season.
At some point in time, Ojo,
as a defense, you're going to have to stop the bleeding because you think you're just going to outscore somebody because all they'll do is that your offensive have one hiccup.
They don't get, they don't convert, or they have a turnover.
And put yourself behind the eight ball.
And now you're done.
Think about it.
Baltimore, you know this firsthand.
31, 38, 38, guess what?
They turn the ball over, you get the ball, kick a walk-off field goal.
I mean, we should.
That's what happened.
Prime example.
Well, I don't know what that guy was thinking.
I don't, the special team, bro, you got to land it in the area.
You can't land it short of the 20.
You land it short of the 20, that's a penalty.
They get the ball at the 40-yard line, Ocho.
Now they get two first downs.
They'll go range.
I'm like, bro, what are you thinking?
I guess the special team, I guess he didn't know.
There's no way he would have done that had he known.
But maybe the special team coach makes sure, hey,
we got to get it in the kicking it.
We got to get in the area.
He knew.
But again, probably being overcoached, probably overthinking it.
And instead of just hitting it, instead of just hitting it, he didn't hit it like he should just to get it in the target area.
So, Raven, you're going to have to pick it up.
It's not an
easy task.
Look, we know Kansas City is struggling, but we know what type of team they are at home.
And we know Patrick Mahomes, at any given moment in that offense, they could, they can pick it up.
They can pick it up.
Lamar doesn't need to do any more than what he's doing.
Derrick Henry needs to make
a conscious effort to hold on to the ball.
Hey, you know what they need to do?
Ocho, if you look at it, he's fumbled the ball 19 times in his career.
10 of those will come in the fourth quarter.
You know what?
I think you should take them sleeves off, huh?
You know, you can't feel, you know, you can't feel the ball when you, when you wear them, you know, the sleeves I'm talking about.
Yeah.
You can't feel the ball.
Yeah, I didn't want that.
I didn't want that argument to know.
It restricts you from feeling the ball.
So even if somebody does, it's easier for somebody to come by and pull.
And I mean, when you see people coming, it's easy.
But anything that's not in your peripheral vision that hits at the ball, it's coming out every time.
And the only thing, and the only thing Lamar needs to do,
one, two, three, ain't nothing there.
Either take off and run or throw the ball away.
That's it.
No more sacks.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I thought Monday night.
Yeah, I thought Monday night he held the ball too long.
Take off Lamar.
Don't be dealing down.
You see that spy right there?
Hey,
race him to a point.
Or shake him one or the other.
No,
he's too close to get shook.
He tried to shake it.
53 right there in his arms.
No, you got to go.
I'm going to make you a all this space, i'm gonna waste i'm gonna race you to the left i'm gonna race you to the right
i believe i can get i believe i can get this absolutely every time
i believe i there you go
um and and receivers you got to do a better job of getting open sooner
they got they got it they got to get zay going
because it seems like teams gonna play y'all three down they they they they feel very comfortable playing you guys three down what we three down scan, three down spinner, whatever you want to call it, three, two, five, a three, two, six.
So they got three down linemen.
They got a spy sometimes.
They have a couple of spies, but no, he's going to drop to an area.
But they got one guy.
All he's doing is tracking Lamar.
Wherever Lamar goes, he's going.
Yeah.
I think they also got, they got to get Zay.
They got to get Zay going.
They got to get Zay Flowers going, man.
He's too good of a weapon.
You know, in intermediate stuff, he can also go deep.
But that intermediate, that shortened intermediate stuff that he does, especially those overs, those deep overs, those intermediate, those shallows.
Man, he killed people on those huge chunks.
They got to get him active.
They got to get him going.
Ocho, the 49ers defensive coordinator, Robert Sala, is on high alert this week before playing Jacksonville.
Sala said Liam Cohen's staff, which is the head coach of the Jags, when it comes to stealing defensive signals in a legal fashion.
Take a listen to what he had to say, Ocho.
You know,
Jacksonville, this is a very young, but it's a very talented group.
You know,
you know, Liam and his staff coming from, a couple of guys coming from Minnesota, you know, they've got
legally a really advanced signal stealing type system where they always find a way to put themselves in a in an advantageous situation.
They do, they do a great job with it.
They formation you to try to just try to find any nugget they can.
So we've got to be great with our signals and we've got to be great with our communication and to combat some of the tells that we might give on the field.
So
they're they're almost elite in that regard.
That whole entire tree,
from Sean to Kevin O'Connell to all those guys, they all do it.
So,
you know, so there's challenges.
They're going to catch us in some situations where they have the advantage, and we just got to play good, sound fundamental football and
do our best to execute them.
You know how they steal the size?
That's the 49ers offense.
Where the hell you think Sean McVay came from?
Yeah.
That's where he learned it.
Right.
So that's the whole thing, Ocho.
When you see somebody in the formation, that's why a lot of times
you see coaches, because guess what?
We practice against each other.
You telling me, hey, I really like this formation against such and such and such and such.
When you go in there and you're in your coaches meetings and you're having conversations, don't think they're not taking notes.
Because everybody in that room, they're not trying to be a position coach for the rest of their life.
They're trying to be an OCDC.
They're trying trying to be a head coach.
They're trying to elevate themselves.
So they're taking
every little bit of information that you give because later down the line, never know when it's going to be useful.
There's a reason why Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and a lot of these quarterbacks, they kept notebooks.
Oh, you're a defensive coordinator.
Okay.
Now you're a head coach.
Well, when you were the defensive coordinator, this is what you did.
You were the linebacker coach under here, under such and such.
This is the type of defense that they ran.
Hmm.
So
that's what they're doing, Ojo.
They're just, all they're doing is like this formation.
This is what they like to do in this formation.
This is down in distance.
Puts area on the field.
But the funny thing about it,
you can see that on film now.
You can see it on film.
Yes.
Even if you make the right calls and you get those situations where those situations are more advantageous for you defensively, you know, every defense that's called, there's a hole where somebody's open.
There's a hole where somebody's open.
it's all up to the quarterback and knowing that and being able to process that information very fast and know where it is and most of the time if it's not there check that down
but
but see here's the thing
i see him do this they look they're gonna lie right
that's not what travis kelsey did travis kelsey pulled up and it got picked
I remember that play.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
No, it didn't get picked, but he threw Patrick Mahomes threw it like it was a man route.
Travis pulled up, thought it was a zone route.
It was man.
Yeah.
They locked it.
We lock it in.
So for me, I'm listening to little tales.
Hey, coach, they keep saying this.
You know, we came up with codes.
If I say, because see, if I say text block, the end know I'm going to crack down on it.
So guess what I say?
I say Dallas, say San Antonio, Houston.
My tackle here.
If we go do a con, I can't say combo.
He's going to know we're going to double it.
Burger and fries.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
You know what I'm saying?
Hey, combo.
Right.
Babe, by the time, hey, by the time the fourth quarter, I say, hey, babe, we can't do that.
Or if I'm going underneath, I would tell, I tell my tackle, Gilligan, you on the island?
Okay, that's a good one.
You by yourself?
Gilligan's island.
Hey, you by yourself.
And same thing.
They would tell me, Sharpie, Gilligan, they let me know I'm on an island.
I'm by myself.
Okay, I can't expect no, I can't, I don't got no help inside.
I ain't got no help outside.
It's me, it's me, me in the linebacker, me in the end.
I got to do what I got to do.
So it's things like that.
But if you keep, you know, you keep, I keep hearing the court, they keep talking about this and I hear something, bro, you can't do that, but maybe once or twice.
And I'm like, and I see you do, and I see you do what you say you're going to do.
I'd be a fool to think, damn,
man, he said, he said Vegas, and they go to cover two.
Every time Junior would say Vegas, they go to cover two.
That's their check.
Anytime we empty the backfield, anytime we have an empty set, and TD motion.
So we motioned to the empty set.
That was their check.
Okay.
We good.
Yes.
But like he said, legally, because they've studied, they know this offense very, very well.
If they come from Minnesota, Kevin O'Connell, Sean McVay, Zach Taylor, LaCloor,
all them guys.
So that's why if you played somebody that came from the West Coast, we had to change signals.
We had to change a lot of stuff.
They know what smoke.
They know lying.
They know, excuse me.
They know slant.
They know sluggo.
Hey, they know square out.
They know comeback.
So you run them signals if you want to and run the wide guy be standing there.
Damn, why he standing with overheals?
Hey,
you can call them same signals, and it kind of complicates things a little bit.
It does because you confuse your damn self.
If you try to play around with it, you try to change it.
Yep, I was just going to say that.
Man, I thought, man, I thought you said, bro, we changed that.
Remember, we finished this TV.
Yes.
So
that's what
it's tough, but you know, hey,
at the end of the day, go out there.
Look, they're going to get, even if they don't steal your signals.
They're going to get some plays.
They got to depart.
They're going to get some plays right regardless.
They get paid too.
Thank you.
They're going to get some right.
Yes.
They got a film department.
They got a scouting department.
They got players.
They meet.
They practice just like you.
They're going to get some plays right.
What the hell?
You think you're going to get 10 yards every time you run the ball?
Or every play is going to be a completion?
No.
They're going to get some right.
But let's just make sure we get more right than them.
And when the difference is when
we make a mistake, let's just make sure we hold on to the ball.
So if we blow an assignment, the quarterback, you get hit, hold on to the ball.
Running back, guy runs through the hole, just make sure you hold on to the ball.
On the flip side, when they make a mistake, let's not make a 20-yard game.
That's a house call.
That's a house call.
