ESPN Jeremy Fowler report Steelers could be trying to trade for Tyreek Hill before the deadline.

The Dolphins appear to be going nowhere.

Tyreek, three weeks, in three weeks has 198 yards and one touchdown the sticking point may be tyree contract he's in the second season of a three-year 91 million dollar a 90 million dollar contract but his cap hit jumps to over 51 million in 2026 almost certainly requiring a restructure ojo

you like tyreek going to pittsburgh

oh

what tyreek with goddamn um man that's not fair man go ahead and calvin auster friar mooth

Hold on, hold on.

Do you understand what Tyreek does to that offense?

How he opens up that offense up even more?

So, boom.

Defenses come out and the play call goes to the X.

So

we doubling Foe.

We doubling DK Metcalf.

Now you add goddamn Tyreek to the equation.

Well, that switches up everything.

What the hell do we do defensively?

And you add a weapon like that that Aaron Rodgers had never had before.

Now we talk about it.

We say it all the time about quarterbacks that can no longer elevate an offense and need players around them to elevate their play.

Now, you just add, now you just added one.

Now, you just added one.

Now, what that does to them offensively is not only does it take their trajectory offensively to another level, hell, that even makes them that much better in the division.

And it changes, it changes the AFC totally.

I agree.

Damn.

But hey,

don't put that in the air, though.

Always happening, y'all.

Look, hold on, it's power in the tongue, huh?

No, it's power in the tongue.

Look,

me personally,

I don't believe the front office has got over the way he handled the end of last year.

And I told you that was going to be a problem,

right?

Ocho, when you make that kind of bread, you can't do that, OJo.

You know that.

Yeah, with that kind of bread, Ocho, because they went out on limb.

They gave, hey, they gave you big bucks, no whammies.

Oh, well, you got to understand why they gave me big.

We're deserving of them big bucks.

So guess what?

When I give you big bucks, what is the expectations?

In turn, I expect you to play, not just when we're winning, not when we just have a chance to go to the playoffs.

Under no circumstances is what he did acceptable.

I don't care what, you know, it's the heat of the moment.

You can't do that.

Not in that situation.

I'm with you again.

Plus, Ocho.

He got that C on his jersey.

You know you can't do that if you that guy.

Yes.

You that captain.

You that captain.

You're right.

Well, hold on.

Why you ain't just say, why not Tyreek to the Bengals?

Man, you don't.

So y'all gonna have three $30 million receivers.

Hold on.

Hey, hold on.

Stay with me real quick now.

Hey, chat.

Chat, y'all.

Stay with me real quick.

Let me think.

I know this ain't Madden.

I know this ain't Ultimate Team, but listen to me, huh?

They paid DK.

DK, make it 34, right?

By 32.

Okay, 32.

They paid goddamn TJ Watt 41.

Wait, that's only two big, that's the only big two big salaries, huh?

Okay, never mind.

They can fit Tyreek.

My bad.

My bad.

Yeah.

My bad.

You're right.

So,

oh, that's dangerous, boy.

God damn.

Now you got me thinking about it.

I'm just picturing Tyreek Ward in that offense.

And I told you, I always thought the hangup is going to be who's going to play the salary.

What we're going to do.

Can we get a restructure?

Ain't nobody doing no $51 million

for no receiver, Ocho.

You even get that camping.

Yeah, he's going to restructure, but still, based on who he is

and how dynamic he still is, ain't going to be that.

He's going to restructure, but it's still going to be within that top five range now.

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

But I'm saying, look,

I'll make it where, you know, yeah, you still get 30, you still be 30, like 30 million a year, but maybe we're going to to give you something.

Maybe we'll give you signing bonus.

Right.

You know what I'm saying?

And that, and,

and, and

add a year, and then that, you know, spread that signing bonus over so we can do so with that cap.

Because 51 million for a receiver, that's a lot of bread.

Now, eventually Chase is going to be there.

And that's why Chase is like, hey, they're going to keep, they're going to, hey, Chase, we're going to come to you.

We're going to give you this year's salary.

We're going to give you the bulk of it in the signing bonus.

And we're going to keep the can down the road because pretty soon Chase is going to to come up there.

If he's already, if he's at 41, 40.5, 41 million,

his cap is going to be damn near 60, 70 million pretty soon.

So, matter of fact, go ahead.

Matter of fact, we're talking about players going somewhere, players leaving other teams to be traded because things aren't going well.

Joe Burrow's out.

Joe Burrow is out for a significant amount of time.

Hey, chat, tell me what you think about this.

What do you think about my brother down there in New York coming on down to Cincinnati since he's the third straight?

Who Jameis or Russ?

Jameis.

And I'm just thinking about what I know he could do from the pocket.

Oh, he could throw it.

He's going to throw it now.

Now, what we can do is

we can work on the interceptions.

We can work on the interceptions.

But listen, can you imagine Jameis in that offense with goddamn T.

Higgins,

Jamar Chase?

Mitchell Tinsley, you know, for six, seven, eight weeks.

Can you imagine the the numbers he's gonna put up?

Now, listen, I love, I love Browning, but I'm just saying, I've seen Jameis do it.

I've seen Jameis throw 33 touchdowns.

Now, I've seen him throw 33 interceptions, too.

But

the same thing, but we can work on that part.

Now, say, hey, chat.

Now, this is the same guy that said that just

last week, before they got the doe blowed off him, he believed in Brother Brownie.

I still do.

I can't say.

Hey, hold on.

We're talking hypotheticals.

I was just throwing something out there because

I say that there's power in the tongue.

I believe in Browning because Browning gonna show you what time it is Monday night.

I believe y'all let the door blowed up, y'all, again.

Monday night,

man.

Child, please.

Yep.

One thing, you know, you know, Jake Browning ain't never lost a game on Monday night.

You know that, right?

He ain't played none either.

He did.

He did.

He did.

He looked he won too.

Jake Browning ain't never lost a game.

Who y'all play?

Who they play on Monday night?

The Broncos.

Y'all ain't winning that.

Y'all ain't going to the high to win.

We ain't what?

Y'all are not winning in the high.

That ain't happening.

Let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something.

I believe in God, right?

You believe in God, too?

I'm going to tell you what God told me.

We're going on a two-game win streak.

We're going to beat the Broncos Monday night, and then I'm going to the game in Cincinnati against the Lions.

And we're going to beat the Lions.

Y'all ain't beating the Lions.

Y'all about to lose three in a row.

You and y'all season over.

All right you'll see you're about to lose three in a row and your season over

you heard what i said right

i don't like being the bear

the one thing i do not like to do is give my people my people my good people bad news i don't like doing that

when i come i like to come bearing gifts i like to come bearing good news oh are we going to and listen speaking of bearing gifts You're going to have a gift, all right?

Monday night when we come on the show Monday night, I don't want to hear nothing.

I don't want to hear you say football.

ball.

I want to hear you make no excuses.

I'm telling you what's going to happen right now.

Man, you know what?

I ain't telling nobody because everybody, I'll jump over by time like,

you can't say foot or ball.

Oh, absolutely.

At all.

Y'all better go to three-game losing streak, though.

I see it coming.

Well,

who's that third game?

The Lions.

No, no, that's the second.

Y'all could lose to Minnesota.

Y'all lost to Minnesota.

Broncos, Detroit.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We, we let that that same guy that spoke to you.

He just told me, just heard it.

Say, yes, yes, they're going to lose three to roll.

Come on.

We, Browning needed that game.

Okay.

I haven't played in a while.

Haven't played in a while.

Practice is one thing, but the game is different.

Everyone's moving a little faster than me.

So this game is, I'm, all right, I'm back acclimated.

I know what to expect.

Okay, this is coming this fast.

Okay, I need to process this much a little bit faster.

Okay, I can't make that throw.

Okay, I can't do that.

I done watched film.

I done corrected my mistakes.

So I'm now Monday night.

I'm going out there and I'm going to show you why I never,

ever lost a Monday night game.

Man.

And now I'm going to come on the show chanting.

Who they, who they, who they think they're going to beat them.

And I'm going to come in at the Detroit game.

Wendy.

When they, when they going to win another game.

Wendy.

Wendy.

When they going to win another game.

You understand, bird.

You understand how football works, right?

You understand that when it comes to NFL game, no matter matter how good a team is week to week, it's any given Sunday.

It's any given Sunday.

Oh, yo, you know, y'all been bad for 50 years?

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Cause we just went to the Super Bowl in 2021.

Don't do that.

Whoa.

We just went to the Super Bowl in 2021, like we did in 1988.

And we just so happened lost because the ref cheated us on a holding call.

That wasn't no holding call on Logan Wilson against goddamn Cooper Cup.

That wasn't no holding.

That should have had that long.

What about when T.

Higgins grabbed Jalen Ramsey face mask and flipped him?

I don't remember that.

I don't remember that.

I don't recall.

I don't recall that at all.

You don't remember that?

Uh-uh.

I ain't hear that.

My bad.

Because if you did do that, you know what the rest would have done?

You saw it too.

That's why you paused.

You know what, On Joe?

I think I might start smoking.

I got the more Daniel Marshalls upstairs.

You got

the gold ones.

Hold on.

Yeah.

Hold on.

Keep it.

Come on.

Come on,

Hey, anyway, anyway, chat.

Hey, hey, chat.

Listen, listen to me, chat, real quick.

My gold, right?

I just want to tell y'all.

I want to tell y'all I love y'all, man.

I want to tell y'all I love you.

If you follow me, you know, you probably hear me tweet it all the time.

Every single day.

I got on Twitter in 2009, right?

And every day since 2009, I always

say I love you.

If you see me in person, I probably don't even know you.

And I done hugged you and told you I love you.

I do it for a reason.

I always say it for a reason because I never know when it might be my my last time saying I love you to somebody that you see in me because you never know when it's your time.

I just lost my dog.

I just lost my dog yesterday, Rudy Johnson.

And

I'm upset.

I'm upset.

I'm hurt.

Obviously, the great memories we had playing in Cincinnati and all that good stuff.

And one thing I always did with my teammates is always had a chance to tell them, I love you.

The same way I do strangers that I see in the airports, in the malls, or wherever I'm at, I always share that message.

And people on Twitter probably wonder, why this fool always say I love you every single day ever since I've been on there and that's one of the reasons why because if I never get a chance to tell you I love you before you transition

I know that I was able to say it before you left and that's one of the reasons why I did it so I'm kind of upset I'm kind of hurt I wasn't able to say goodbye to a good friend of mine

it's unfortunate young Rudy boy you're gonna be missed I love you And

there goes the reason on why I say I love you all the time.

So if you ever see me in person, I just tell you I love you out of the blue and you ask me, well, why you can tell me I love you?

Because I'm supposed to.

Because ain't no telling when I'm going to see you again.

And just in case I don't, I already got that love off.

And that's how that goes.

Other than that, man,

I'm feeling good tonight.

That's why

I'm so talkative.

I'm feeling good.

I'm in New York.

I had to work tonight.

I had to watch Messi Dem do work on New York FC.

They made the the gold when them regular ones.

Oh, no, this is the 24-carat.

This is the DM 24-carat 2011.

Yeah,

that's that's them.

That's them.

No.

That's my favorite.

That's my favorite shit.

I like the mask.

I think I'll smoke this on Monday night.

Why you boo, Josh?

You're gonna smoke?

Yeah,

after we put foots of y'all.

Hold on, you ain't gonna have nothing to celebrate, though.

Yeah, yeah, look at.

They say, oh, Joe, they rated this for a 92.

Cigar Fischio Nado.

Say this a 92.

It a real deal.

That's what I be smoking here sometimes.

I got them Fuentes, too.

I got some Fuentes up there.

Hold on.

Hey, tell the chat how much one of them cigars.

I'm going to tell them.

Don't worry about it.

Tell them.

Hey, hey, chat.

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.

All right, we got a very special guest.

Hey, hey, B-Rod.

We got a very special guest.

What's up, B-Rod?

We're joining us today, bro.

My dad.

$40 running back, Brian Robinson Jr.

How you doing, bro?

I'm good.

I'm good, man.

I'm good, man.

Look, 3-0, but y'all been besieged by injuries, man.

Nick Bosaza, Brock Purdy, Kittle, Jennings, Ayuka, still yet to play.

How have you guys been able to still be 3-0 as the injuries start to mount?

And it's, you know, the adage, adage, the cliche, next man up, has really, has really had to be you guys's mantra.

Yeah, I think

the depth just got to prepare.

They just got to keep preparing like the starters.

You know, same conversation me and Matt Jones been having, you know, the last couple of weeks.

You know,

shit, he didn't think he was going to, he didn't know he was going to have to start, you know, the last couple of weeks.

So,

you know, just big testament to guys that just come in, prepare, come in, working, you know, like, you know, they're going to get their shot, gonna get a moment at any given time so i think that's the biggest thing about just having a team full of you know experienced players and you know depth that you know prepare well so guys got to step up now for sure yeah what bird what has that transition been like for you going from washington going down to san francisco what has the transition been uh getting acclimated to the offense getting acclimated to new atmosphere new environment what has that been like for you

uh

it's been good you know it's been a work in progress for sure you know it was a you know quick quick turnaround for sure you know but um i think you know with kyle's offense it's easy to you know kind of you know for my style you know it's a lot of run you know run run game in there so like it's easy for me to you know pick up to that stuff you know obviously um some of the verbiage and stuff i'm still picking up on but you know for the most part i've been picking up on stuff pretty fast my old running back coaches i did with y'all bobby turner you tell him hey said man i was on with uh last night bobby t he told me to tell you what's up

Okay, I'm going for sure let him know tomorrow.

I'm going to let him know.

What's been Kyle's message to you guys?

I've known Kyle since he was 12 years old.

I know a lot of the guys out there because a lot of the guys were with me when I was in Denver.

Kyle was in high school and when he went on to the University of Texas.

But I know a lot of those coaches out there.

So what's been Kyle's message to you guys that keep you guys

three, got you guys 3-0, even though the injuries have started to mount?

I think it's the message that really sits with me for real is he's been telling us, you know, just play desperate.

You know, like, you know, that's just been the message, just play desperate.

And I feel like,

you know, that's enough said, honestly, you know, shit.

Everybody pretty much responds to that alone.

Everybody knows exactly what he mean when he say that.

Like, you know, play desperate.

Yeah, shit.

I feel like.

you know that's that's the message simple as that limit yeah brad okay we hear this all of a sudden i mean i thought you was playing well for Washington.

And then all you saw, you know, he might get traded or if he did not get, they can't find a trade partner, they're going to release.

Was there anything in training, Campbell, was there anything in the offseason that led you to believe that you wouldn't be a commander this season?

I mean, honestly, I couldn't even tell you that.

I was just so focused on, you know, just being a commander.

You know, I felt like at the time, that's the only thing I should have been focused on, you know, unless, you know, somebody from the up had a message they wanted to say you know say something to me that made me think otherwise other than that you know uh my only focus was being a commander you know so um

you know i couldn't tell you nothing besides like the rumors or something like that that probably like triggered it you know but you don't really get too caught up in rumors and stuff that go on on the internet you don't really know but um

Apparently, they was knowing, they were knowing stuff I didn't know at the time.

Listen, B-Rob, that had that happened to all of us baby that happened to all of us one day obviously it happened to me unc i'm sure it happened to you and sometimes you going about you going on about your business doing what you're doing for getting prepared for the season and all of a sudden you know it always comes from in-house too it always comes from in-house they purposely put it out there just to get just to get the storm just to get the storm going you know and it lets you know well damn that's how y'all feel about me everything I done did for you, all the work I done put in, the bloods and kids I done went to war with y'all, and that's what y'all went to league out there and it is but listen you you off the green of pastures obviously enjoying so how you enjoying your time out there in in in in san francisco so far

honestly man i just i mean i jumped straight into it man i ain't really had time to really just you know get out and really explore like that you know i'm sure when i when the time come i'll see what it's like but you know right now it's just been all above for me man i had it i jumped straight off the jet like you know like trying to trying to get in the playbook you know obviously cut shit I gotta, I, I'm in the same position, you know, uh, I gotta be like a rookie all over again.

Gotta learn a new system.

Yeah.

But at the same time, also preparing like the starter that I always been.

So,

you know,

so when my number called, I come in there and do my thing, you know, so that's what I expect to do.

So I'm, you know, just working on getting caught up to speed as fast as I can, just so that it ain't no hiccups when that number gets caught.

I don't care about the fact that it's only been a couple weeks.

I ain't making no excuses to that.

You know what I'm saying?

When it's time for me to spin, spin.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is the offense schematically any different?

I'm sure the words are different, but are there any similarities from the commanders and what you have to do with the 49ers, or is it completely different?

I think we're running a different scheme.

You know,

it's definitely a different scheme.

And it's actually like, I like it.

One cut, get your ass downhill.

Exactly.

You know,

that makes enough sense to me.

You feel me?

That makes sense to me.

I'm good.

I blocked that sense.

Hey, one cut.

Hey, we're going to cut the backside.

When you make a decision, when you put your foot in the dirt, commit to that.

Come on with it.

Yes, sir.

All right.

Bobby T.

Hey, hey, hey, so

that it

we practice that.

So why the hell you do it?

Yeah.

Bobby T don't play.

Jeno,

I don't know if you know Bobby T.

Bobby T don't play.

I done got to know him well over the last few years for sure.

Oh yeah.

Bobby T a great guy though, man.

He a great guy.

What's it like having Christian McCaffrey?

I mean, you're in the same meeting room with Christian McCaffrey.

You're in the backfield sometimes.

What's it been like?

Because, you know,

going to the University of Alabama, you're used to having, you know, great back, great players around you, but...

he a different animal

yeah he definitely you know he is who he is though but he he's super humble you know great you know great teammate so it's you know it's easy to you know be in the room with him he you know he's just a great team player so he you know he ain't too caught up in you know being christian mccaffron and all that you know so

it's been pretty cool you know just getting to know him and get to play alongside him and just seeing how he go about his business and and why he is the special player he is because he he he handled he handled his business like that he be on top of you know what i'm saying It's just been fun to watch, just get to know him and just see how

he's been great like that over these years.

Hey, man, what is it like, man?

Just a thought, man, and being able to share the field.

I'm kind of...

kind of hurt almost a little bit not being able to play in this era because there's some great players that i enjoy watching especially on the defensive side of the ball that i would love that i would have loved to go against and

fred warner has to be one of my favorite players

so man man, what is you, you got to tell me, what is it like being able to share the field with young bull, man, every time y'all out there on that field?

Yeah, I think, you know, being able to share the field with Fred is special.

You know,

it's a moment in my life I ain't going to take for granted for sure because I came out here to San Fran and had to play against Fred my rookie year.

Yeah.

Man, we tore each other up.

You know what I'm saying?

But we hit it.

Look, we hit each other enough just, you know, after the game, like, like, bro, respect, respect, yeah, you know what I'm saying, respect for sure, you know what I'm saying.

So, you know, by the time I walked in the building here, it was just like, you know, we still remember like them moments, like playing against each other.

And I'm like, we're on the same team, you know what I'm saying?

So it's like, hey, we're gonna, we're gonna go do that to other teams.

Now we're gonna go do what we was doing to each other.

We're gonna go do that to somebody else.

You know what I'm saying?

So dope.

I think that's

that's dope for sure.

B-Rob, do you remember

first game you came out?

It's a tremendous meme.

You came out running to many men after the traumatic, you ended up getting shot.

And I was like, well, he probably done for the year in hell.

You back in no time.

I'm like, damn.

I mean, obviously, that's a very traumatic experience.

What was it like

running out after being shot?

I don't think you missed very many games.

Would you miss like three or four games?

No, you was right back.

I only missed the games that I was out for the

NFL.

Injured Reserve.

So

you got to miss four games.

So

those are the only four games I had missed.

Did you know you was going to be able to make it back so quick?

So when this happened, so what are the doctors telling you?

What are the athletic trainers telling you?

And then what are you telling yourself?

So the doctors actually told me that I would make a full recovery.

I would be able to play ball.

So that's the first thing the doctors told me.

So

once I got out of there, I took it it straight to the recovery room, you know, and once I got in the recovery room, it was just a work in progress.

You know, I, you know, once I started walking and I was able to jog and just move my feet and just do little cuts and stuff to just make me feel like myself again, I just started kind of ramping myself up just in the training room and getting stronger.

And really.

Shit, I still wasn't ready to play.

I just, I wanted to play.

You know, in my head, I was like, you know, ain't nothing finna stop me from playing.

I'm playing.

Yeah, especially after she again named a starter too.

I'm like, yeah, I got to get out there.

I got to start my career as a starter.

I got to go get, get, get in there and get active.

Like, and

I went even close to healed and held

when I even touched the field anyway.

Not even close.

By a long shot.

Right.

By a long shot.

I ran on one leg.

I ran on one leg for two years for sure.

Damn.

Like, no doubt.

But

so

when I when I finally came back, this was the thing that this, this was the decision-making time.

After I was, had set out for the first four games and I was able to come back.

You know, Rivera, Rivera was my head coach at the time, Coach Rivera.

He came in the locker room.

He came to me.

He was just like, yo, totally up you.

I respect that though.

You know what I'm saying?

He came up to me.

He was just like, yo, it's totally up you.

You know, like, your call, your shot.

I'm like, I'm going.

You know, that was the only words I have.

I'm like, I'm going.

So

going through this traumatic experience, have you had to move differently?

Have you surrounded yourself with different people?

Make sure you stay out of certain areas.

So how has that

impacted the way you move day to day now?

Honestly,

I've always been the type that moved precisely.

You know, I always had had that precision in my movements.

You know, so it was actually, actually kind of shocking how that even drew up on me.

I didn't realize that the city was just that bad.

You know, I just didn't, I didn't know it was that terrible out there.

You know, I was just calmly stopping through.

You know, I didn't know it was that terrible, you know, to where I had to really, you know, just be all the way.

on edge

p's and q's and yeah like like i really wasn't even on that type of time at the time.

And, you know, most like that, that's just how I naturally move anyway.

So I kind of let my guards down for a minute down after just getting the rules and stuff from the

NFL security

of our team.

They were just telling us how the gun laws and stuff like that is down there.

So I'm like, all right, I ain't got, I ain't no guns.

Guns down.

I ain't going to worry about the gun.

Feel me?

Bad please.

So my mindset, just my mind shit was just kind of like, I kind of like slept on i slept on them for just a little i kind of slept on them you know what i'm saying and

it happened just that fast damn just that in that little in that little that little window where i was sleeping at i took you know what i'm saying yeah damn they ran down on my man you had any jury they take anything up off you

no man i ain't really even have nothing nothing on me but

my wallet and my keys but that was they was more shocked as they was just as shocked as i was so it was just kind of like we was at a little standoff.

And

I ain't give them nothing.

But

it was, I just ain't really have time to, you know, shit was just happening so fast.

I ain't had time to do nothing for real, but what I did.

But like I said, you never know what you're going to do until you get in a situation.

Like, you know, I learned something about myself that day.

I'm glad you're good, though.

I'm glad you're good, man.

By the grace of God, man, to be able to continue doing what I'm sure was your childhood dream, and that's playing a game of football.

You are, you're from Tuscaloosa.

Was there any, did you consider going to any other school other than Alabama?

No, not really.

I ain't even gonna lie to you, bro.

It was always Bama, bro.

It was always Bama.

And

I even tried to go out and visit other schools, and

it just, it just wasn't.

uh

well really uh it almost got a little rowed as um right before like it was time for me to go and sign the school um

kirby had got the head coaching job at georgia after being at after being at alabama for all those years and he was part of my recruiting process as well so

you know he kind of went and got that job at georgia he was just like

Come on.

I'm like, I'm like,

I went over there, checked him out.

You know, me and my family went over there and sat down with him.

You know,

he made it real interesting.

He made it an interesting.

He finally had made my recruiting process interesting because at that point, I hadn't been paying attention to nobody.

Right.

And Kirby had gotten that job.

He made it interesting for a short, short second.

And I was just like, nah, bro.

Can't do it.

Can't do it.

That's dope.

That's dope.

Give me your top five Alabama running backs.

Off the top like that.

all right but i gotta go back i gotta go back a few years because

my first running back that i actually have paid attention to you know just growing up in tuscaloosa was glenn coffee okay so i'm gonna i'm gonna throw him in there i'm gonna let i'm gonna let glenn slide then i'm gonna let mark ingram get in there

i gotta let mark get in there i gotta let

I gotta let Trent get in there.

I gotta let Trent get in there.

I gotta let Josh get in there.

I gotta let Josh get in there.

We got one more spot.

Not include myself.

I'm not including myself, but I'm gonna put Derek in there, too.

You gotta get this shit.

Damn, you put Derek in there in the afterthought, huh?

Damn.

But no, it ain't, it ain't, he ain't last.

It ain't really no order.

Everybody doing their thing.

It ain't no order when you, when you're putting the Bamboo backs together, it really ain't no order.

You know what I'm saying?

I don't know, like, it really ain't no order.

You know, obviously, you can put them in your own order.

You know what i'm saying

that's a nice list

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 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.

Oh, Joe, the Eagles are 3-0, but one area that is still a work in progress is the passing game.

Philadelphia enter week 4, 29, in the NFL passing yards.

AJ Brown spoke about the need to shift when teams take away Saquon and be attackers on Sunday against the Bucs.

Let's take a listen to what AJ had to say.

Come on, AJ.

And how do you balance that then now that it is public that that's how you want this offense to be run?

What do those conversations look like with the coaching staff going forward then?

See, that's where I kind of messed up at because, you know, those are my feelings, and I expressed that to the world.

So, but obviously, if that doesn't go that way, obviously everyone's going to say AJ's not happy.

But obviously, the goal is to win the game, and obviously, we want to do that first.

But like I was just saying, I think it just kind of took too long for us as an offense to adjust and

be more aggressive.

When one thing's not working,

I was just saying, let's not continue to keep trying to hit our head on the wall and see if it's going to work.

Let's mix it up and do what we need to do.

So, that's what I mean by that.

And

so, yeah.

Man, I don't like that.

What don't you you like?

I don't like that.

Let me go first.

I don't like that.

Tell me what you don't like.

See, see,

see,

he got that seal in his chest, huh?

He got that seal in his chest.

So he is answering like he Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

Everything he gonna say is politically correct.

See, I don't like that.

So I'm going to say it for him.

Hey, Coach Patula.

I'm a top five receiver in the league.

You hear me?

Man, get me the ball early.

It ain't got to be nothing crazy.

Just let me touch the ball early in the game in the first quarter.

Let me touch it.

Give me a little smoke screen.

Give me a little bubble.

Give me something to let me know, make me feel like I'm a part of the game, a part of the system, a part of the scheme.

You ain't got to do much.

Boy, we one of the few teams that got two number one receivers on the same field.

And we wait to the third and fourth quarter to get us the ball.

Come on now.

I understand that.

We 3-0.

oh,

but it shouldn't have to take for us being behind for us to play aggressively and then have to throw the ball.

Let's have a little balance.

You hear me?

Yeah, because what's grits with no eggs?

You hear me?

Yeah, I'm

offer with no syrup.

All that coughing, though, I'm concerned.

With who?

You

me?

Yeah, chat.

Y'all heard that.

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm a little excited.

When I get excited, I cough.

I don't know.

That's all it is.

I don't know, man.

I don't know, Joe.

Yeah, I get a little excited.

But hey, listen, hey, AJ, man, say what you want to say.

I'm going to say it for you.

Man, get me the ball, man.

You know what I could do?

I'm him.

I'm that boy.

Top five.

And I'm telling you, I understand the way this business works.

And if y'all keep playing with me, y'all gonna come to me and knock on my door.

Talk about my production don't match my goddamn salary.

And you trying to take my chicken.

And before you take my chicken, I'm going to say what I need to say publicly, but I'm going to say it the right way so it doesn't offend nobody.

Because Patula,

call plays for me, boy.

Let me get that rock early.

You hear me?

I'm trying so we can fly high.

We can fly high.

We know we 3-0.

I know we 3-0.

But we don't have to be conservative going into the game.

I know we got Saquon.

But if they got nine in the box, hey, Jalen, alert, alert, alert, alert, alert.

Hit me with that signal, boy.

Shit.

Why don't get me started, man.

I don't think AJ Smith.

We got A.J.

Brown and Devontae Smith.

And we're 29th in the past.

Because they keep banging their head against the world.

In what world does that make sense?

Because

teams,

because they're still trying to look.

If you think that Saquon's going to rush for 2,000 yards a game and he's going to have the same level of success, it's not going to happen.

No.

You might have to throw early to run late

oh oh oh my god oh my god i'm so glad you just said that because the philosophy during our day unk the philosophy when we played is you run the ball to open up the pass

you run the ball to open up the pass that's how it was in the early 2000s and before that but we in 2025 boys are passing league now you ain't winning no game running the ball now you can be efficient in winning running the ball when you you got 26 back there.

It's possible.

But wait a minute, Saquon ran for 2000 last year.

So what you think every team you play for to do?

Gear up to stop him.

We would have put the great, we forgot the great wall of China and stack nine in the box.

Beat us in the air.

That's how you're going to have to do it.

Beat us in the air.

Teams are not going to let Saquon.

You see the numbers.

They're not going to let Saquon beat them.

They're not.

They're not.

They're going to make Jalen consistently beat him.

And look, he was in a situation that AJ had one of those games and they didn't have anybody they could do

anything with AJ.

But that's, you're going to have to throw early, and you're going to have to throw early and run late.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What you mean?

What you mean they was in a situation where they had a team where nobody could do anything?

But

ain't too many corners in the league to do anything with AJ anyway.

But they didn't really have anything.

I mean,

I think the Rams was the best corner.

so i yeah you're right i mean consistently but i can i can slow him down

right i mean slow who down you can only hey listen we talk about aj we talk about aj brown huh we talk about aj brown it's about slow who down you can only hope to contain him boy he's a

mojo you slow him down that's kind of what's slowing down and that that ain't enough his slowing down is still a productive day An AJ Brown slow down day is a productive day.

I'm just telling you what I ain't telling you what I heard.

I'm telling you what I know.

Devontae Smith, a slow day for Devontae Smith, is a day other receivers wish for.

That's a good day.

Come on now.

If the run game is not there, we shouldn't have to wait till we get into the fourth quarter, late, third, fourth quarter to start throwing the football.

Yeah.

You got, look.

You're right.

Your defense played outstanding.

The Rams really couldn't do anything the second half, and that was because of Philly's defense.

But, you know,

you could have threw the ball earlier.

So I think the thing is now, Ocho, you start throwing it early, and you get AJ and Devontae going off early.

Now that's going to open up.

That's going to open up for Saquon.

Because right now, teams are gearing up to stop Saquon.

They're going to make Jalen Hurston.

I know he's won a Super Bowl, but still, they're going to make him prove that he can beat them consistently through in the football.

Because I know if we don't stop Saquon,

we can't stop.

It ain't even going to be close.

Because we saw with Saquon, you saw what that offense looked like.

Jalen Hurst throw the ball 12 times.

Because why?

I don't need to.

Saquon running for $1.50.

He's running for $200.

But teams are not going to let him get off like that this year.

So

they're going to have to find other ways early.

Not saying Saquon won't be valuable.

I'm not saying you just don't stop giving Saquon the ball.

No, don't do that.

But I'm saying you've got to get AJ and devante going a lot earlier than the the final 16 minutes of a ball game aj going the whole first half and not get a target smity catching one come on now what we doing here

it's not that complicated

i wish i boy boy

listen i wish i wish i don't know how much freedom jalen hurts had well you got a super bowl you got a super bowl in your back pocket now you got a super bowl in your back pocket you talk about i know patula calling plays most of the time.

Listen, you make your adjustments based on the defense of what's called, but if I'm Jalen, why come to that line, Uncle?

Let me ask you a question.

And I see that safety drop down in that box and stop the run.

Yeah.

Yo.

Let me ask you a question.

What's up?

How much freedom Russell Wilson had after having a Super Bowl?

Oh, see, Uncle Let me tell you something.

I'm only basing what I just said, based on what Carson Palmer was able to do, based on our chemistry we had together.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure how much freedom they have in today's world.

In today's, you know, I know what you're saying, but I'm saying

that Jalen should have

more freedom because he won a Super Bowl.

Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl.

Because

if he'd had that freedom, he should have checked out of that play, right?

Oh, that's right.

That's right.

That's right.

Hey, can I say something real quick?

I think

you know who would have got the credit if they had made that

play was complete.

You know who would have been the hero of that Super Bowl?

Beast Mo.

No, no, if he didn't, he didn't check.

Oh, no, no, you're right.

No.

You see what I mean?

Who gets the credit?

Well, I think the thing was, is that Beast Moe was going to be the MVP because he was running the hell out of the football.

Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

He was having a great day.

I think that play call probably came from the sideline.

All the plays came from the sideline.

But I'm saying, I agree with what you said, is that they call plays from the sideline to Carson.

But if Carson saw something, Carson would check out of it.

Oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, he's getting up out of it.

And he's not even saying nothing.

I have to make sure my eyes stay on him.

And I already knew

if we play in Baltimore and we play in goddamn Pittsburgh, understanding all that crazy exotic and movement and all that movement they love to do, and you want to play around?

Man, Carson, come up out of that thing quick.

Keep your eye on me.

He has said before I leave the huddle, keep your eye on me.

If they play around, we're going right to it.

He had tapped the side of his hip where nobody can see but me.

And I already know what to do.

It just made it made, it made the game of football so much easier.

It made it so much simpler.

Because at times, sometimes coaches, they can complicate things, huh?

Put them clamps on you, though.

Complicate things.

Huh?

Put them clamps on you.

Clamp what?

Put the mints on you.

What what you talk about you play baseball somewhere

i played football oh you talk about like like you you talk about like lining up against me like you like lock me up jammer man

man jam who you might be talking about you talk about peter button jam peter button and jelly jam oh

man don't don't do that don't do that to yourself

Don't do that to yourself.

Oh, how you think I got the name graveyard?

Because when I i left the field there were bodies everywhere

nah they ain't like that

that's about it you used to work at the graveyard hey cyclops come down here

No, no, no, no, no.

See, hey, you see, hey, you come across that bill Ocho, I put that thing right there on you.

I don't remember Gail.

Gail had blew out his knee.

And back then, they just, they opened the knee up.

It was that big zipper.

Sandy Colfax had elbow.

I mean, Sandy Colfax, I mean, you talk about what he went three.

I think he went like three Cy Youngs.

Penny, my brother, Earl, Earl Campbell was, I think, three-time offensive player of the year.

I think Earl Earl won the MVP, like his rookie year or something.

The second year,

he was amazing.

And he was all they had.

I remember him.

It was him.

Ken Burrow.

Ken Burrow had double zero.

He was the last guy to wear a double zero, OJo.

He wasn't one zero.

He was double zero.

What position?

Wide receiver.

What double zero?

Double zero.

Hey, that's that's sweet right there.

I like that.

Mike, what rent bro?

You got, and you got, you got to be that boy, too, to wear that, to wear a single digit or even wear a double zero.

You got to be him.

So, me, I'm bringing back.

Oh, you know what?

D-Roll?

I'm biles.

I'm bringing my brother back.

I'm bringing Bo.

I mean,

TD already.

TD got two Super Bowl.

He's a league MVP, Super Bowl MVP.

He was good at that point.

He was good at that point.

Man, Griffey, man.

Griffey ran into that

Kingdom Wall too many times.

Griffey had no regard for his body.

Hey, listen, Ken Griffey's swing is basically the Mona Lisa.

Yeah.

His swing is equivalent to the Mona Lisa.

Raft the 7'4 Samson.

I remember him at Virginia.

Took him to the Final Four

his freshman year.

Never got back that far.

They ended up losing.

I mean,

they got beat.

The biggest upset probably was Shamana took them down.

They were the number one team in the country, and Shamana beat them.

But he's three-time player of the year.

People don't realize this: that he was the MVP.

He was the

conference player of the year.

When

he looked, Jordan was 84

because he left in 83.

Man, there's some names on here, Ocho.

Bird Dog, Bernard King,

Juan Martindel Potro.

We all say, what if, what if?

Ocho, now it's time for our final segment of the evening.

It's time for Q and A.

Damn.

Hey,

it's one of them good night.

Hey,

we can go for an extra hour tonight, boy.

I'm feeling good.

I need some sleep.

Quinn Mo.

You got to go tomorrow.

Well, you got to go tomorrow.

I just got back home today.

You sleepy?

I will be when I get off here.

I'm going to sleep, yeah.

Okay, my bad.

We on tomorrow, right?

We on Friday?

No, I got something to do Friday.

Okay.

All right.

Well, tomorrow, we'll do three hours tomorrow.

We got a special guest tomorrow?

We got a special guest tomorrow.

Who?

Oh, Joe.

Can't tell you.

Why y'all don't be telling me?

I ain't gonna tell nobody.

I promise.

Whisper.

You won't tell nobody else.

Quentin Mobley said, what's up, up?

Back in March, you said Zion was that disciplined guy for the Pelicans organization, and he didn't want it.

What are your thoughts now?

Man slimmed up.

It's a contract year.

Pelicans in five.

He looked good.

He looked unbelievable.

We about the same size.

The thing is, is that the offseason is the easy part.

You got to be disciplined and structured during the season because you flying when you're getting in at three o'clock in the morning, are you going to make smart

eating decisions?

Or are you going to go get pizza?

Are you going to get chicken?

Or are you going to get the salad, the chicken breast, the baked chicken, the rotisserie chicken, things of that nature?

That's when it gets hard.

You're struck, you're structuring the vibe.

You ain't traveling nowhere, Ocho.

You sitting home.

You go train,

your chef cooks your food, boom, you there.

You have to make those those same decisions that he made to look like he looked and he looks incredible yeah you have to look like that the entire you have to keep that same discipline and focus throughout the season go ahead ocho

you know what the funny thing is is whoever he has around him right now whatever team of people are helping him to get to the point he's gotten to now those same people and that same team will probably be there in that structured environment when it's time to play to make sure he stays intact and on the same program that he's on right now.

He looks phenomenal.

He looks phenomenal.

I'm not sure

what it will change as far as far as his game goes, game is concerned.

He's going to have that same bounce.

He's going to have that same hop, that same power.

I think he's going to be okay because whoever got him to this point now, understanding that it is a contract year, they're going to be with him along the way on this entire journey through the whole season.

I hope so.

Laney Ray said, Hey guys, Josh Metellus does an IG segment called Tell Us with Metellus.

Go.

I'm thinking we need no cap recap with Shannon and capping with Ocho segments for nightcap.

Yeah,

what capping mean?

Well, that's a big ass.

Hey, that's a big ass hat.

Boy, you got that.

I ain't get that.

And if you sent one, you know, man, um.

They say these hats cost about $5,900.

Hey, listen, everybody be thinking I be lying,

I'll be capping.

But anytime I put anything on here,

this is nothing but life experiences.

I'm telling y'all stories from my past on things that I've done and achieved in life that when there wasn't no cameras, I believe you, Ocho.

Yeah, appreciate that.

JBS Smoke B said, what cigar are you smoking, Ocho?

Oh, hey, boy, this right here, boy, this is a truer Fuentes.

I got them Fuentes.

What you know about that?

Don't worry about it.

I went to Dan Marino golf tournament and I won.

Right.

They had like a limited red.

I think they did like 50 boxes.

And I bet I won.

Okay.

I forgot.

I didn't know at the time.

I didn't know nobody.

I didn't know you had to be in a humidor and and they dried out.

They got to be in the humidor or they're going to get stale.

Oh, you done messed up.

But that good money, man.

You done wasted money, man.

Man, no, stay gone.

That's good money, man.

I get it.

Aaron Owens says, when L.

Wade retired, was it any trade discussion to get a vet for the 99 season or was the organization rotting with Brian Greasy?

Well, at the time, Bubby, who had backed up John in 1998, he came back.

He was going to be the starter.

Bubby ends up getting hurt and Greasy ends up starting.

So that was, you know, Mike was set that he thought that we had enough with Bubby and Grease

to win.

And, you know, TD was back.

TD was the best back in one of the

three or four best players in the league.

He was the best running back in the game.

And Mike thought we had enough, but nah, we didn't.

MSQ, Uncanocho.

What would you rather have as a QB in order of success?

An elite O-line, average skill group, skill, skill,

an elite skill group, or an average offensive line?

Ooh, that's a good one.

I'm going to go with elite offensive line

because you got all the time in the world with them.

And if guys can get open, you can be average and get open.

You got enough time.

They get open now.

Yeah.

You can be elite all you want to.

When they just, when them turnstiles,

nah.

Very darn ken.

Ocho.

I'm going to Miami next month.

What are some good food spots?

And don't say no damn McDonald's.

Let me tell you, hey, let me tell you about some good food spots.

Boy, if you're going down to Miami, matter of fact, next month, if you're going down to Miami, boy, hit your boy.

You hear me?

Hit your boy.

Just

send me a message on Instagrams and I'm going to see it.

Boy, we hang out together.

You hear me?

First of all, I need to

do me a favor.

I need to hit iCrave.

It's in Liberty City where I grew up.

You're going to love it.

It's soul food.

I don't know if you like soul food, but you need to try it.

Also, Kayvon Webster has a restaurant called Smith and Webster.

You got to hit that too.

What they serve, boom.

Smith and web.

Oh, but they serve everything.

Well, that's fine dining, boy.

Kayvon, Kayvon start.

Everything.

They got everything.

You got, you got, I seen the menu.

The third restaurant you need to try.

I love Cuban food.

I rotate the same restaurants over and over.

You got to hit.

Okay, you listen to me.

I'm making sure you're writing these down.

Okay, boom.

Cuban food.

Havana, Cuban cuisine.

That's out west.

is out there by me yeah okay havana cuban cuisine you got to hit those three outside of that everything else everybody will suggest is that five-star stuff you got to go dressed up and all that if that's something you want to do you do if you're coming down here with a girl one spot that's five star that i would say for the experience for your lady or your family go to the mai kai restaurant The Mai Kai restaurant is a Polynesian restaurant that's very nice.

They put on the show, fire show with the Simon's and the Usos.

You will enjoy that as well.

Now, that's my four.

And as a treat for dessert, try McDonald's.

Ocho 97 asks, pay one, trade one, wave one.

AJ Brown, Jamar Chase, Amon Ross St.

Brown.

Hey, that's not fair, man.

Why are we doing this?

Why are we doing this?

You hear me?

I don't like that.

I don't like that.

Just like

for the sake of argument,

for the hypothetical that you,

I'm going to pay.

I'm going to pay.

I'm going to pay Chase.

Okay.

And what was the second?

What was the second?

Trade one,

and then you got to wave one.

And the last two, you got Amon Ra or you got AJ.

So you're going to trade AJ and wave Amon Ra or are you going to trade Amon Ra and wave AJ?

Oh, that's hard.

That's hard.

That's hard.

I like both of them too.

But they're different.

They're so different.

Yeah, completely different.

They're so different.

Two different types of animals, but they're really good at what they do.

They're really good.

One strength is another weaknesses, and another weakness.

You know what?

Amon Raw is balling right now.

And I'm going to just base everything off of right now.

I'm going to trade Amon Raw and Mawade AJ.

But in real life, I ain't doing none of that.

But go ahead.

That's it.

I'm just answering.

Cal Simpson said, Uncle Nocho, I need y'all's opinion.

If y'all had to choose the D-line and linebackers to face 90s, Cowboys, O-line, but Barry Sanders at running back, not Emmett Smith,

who y'all picking to stop?

Who y'all picking?

Nobody.

Ain't nobody finna stop that.

You tripping.

But did you hear what he just said?

You would take the Cowboys offensive line

with Barry.

Barry Sanders, man, please.

And go ahead and hand them people to Lombardi, please.

Iggy said 85 pointers, Ocho Cinco Diamonds.

Yeah, which you know, a few.

Hey, I

helped Future write that song.

People don't even know that.

Oh, they didn't.

I'm not saying,

I'm just saying Future consulted me when he made that song.

Oh, Cho, Kimberly No Wood Jr.

I love y'all.

My question: who's your top four blues singers?

My number one is Marvin Cease, then Marvin Gay.

Oh, we,

oh, that's a good one.

Top blues singers.

Ooh, we.

I don't really look at Marvin as though.

Well, I guess rhythm, I guess, RB rhythm and blues.
