esp and jeremy filer report steelers could be trying to trade for tyreek hill before the deadline the dolphins appear to be going nowhere tyreek three weeks uh 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.

Ocho,

you like Tyreek going to Pittsburgh?

Oh, oh boy, Tyreek with goddamn arm. Man, that's not fair, man.
Go on here,

Calvin Austin. Hey, 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 has 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. Oh, it's happening, y'all.

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 offices 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 a they they gave you big bucks no whammies

oh well you got to understand why they gave him yes

we're deserving of them big bucks so when i give you 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.

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?

About 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 could fit Tyreek.
My bad. My bad.
Yeah.

My bad. You're right.
So,

ooh, that's dangerous, boy. God damn.

Now you got me thinking about it. I'm just picturing Tyreek Hardy 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, OJo. You ain't finna get that campion.

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 but i'm saying look i'll give 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 gonna give you something maybe we'll give you you know signing bonus right you know what i'm saying and that and and and and add a 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 and assigning bonus.

We're going to keep the can down the road because pretty soon Chase is going 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

go ahead. Matter of fact, since we're talking about players going somewhere, players leaving other team to be traded because things aren't going well.
Joe Burrow is 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 string? 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 gonna throw it now.

Now, what we can do is

we can work on the interception.

We can work on the interceptions.

But listen, can you imagine Jameis in that offense? Well, goddamn T. Higgins,

Jamar Chase, Mitchell Tinsley, you know, for six, seven, eight weeks? Can you imagine the numbers he's going to put up?

Now, listen, I love Brownie, 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, now just last week, before they got the doll blowed off him oh he believed in brother brownie

i still do i can't understand

You understand, bird.

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 happened lost because the ref cheated us on the holding call.

That wasn't no holding call on Logan Wilson against goddamn Cooper Cup. That wasn't no holding.
That shouldn't have had that long. What about what about when T.

Higgins grabbed the Jalen Ramsey face mask and flipped it?

And I 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 last time saying I love you to somebody that you see and meet 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 uh 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.

What's up, y'all? It's Big Loom from It's Up Death Podcast.

In this powerful episode, we're breaking down the danger of silence and how way too many of us are taught to protect the vibe instead of protecting ourselves.

We spend more time researching cars, microphones, sneakers, then we will researching on how to protect our bodies and our partners.

If you're having an honest conversation, One uncomfortable minute can save you a lifetime of regret. The CDC says nearly one in five people carry an STI and most don't even know it.

Real intimy isn't built in the dark, it's built in the disclosure. Condoms, testing, transparency, those aren't passion killers, they're peace builders.
It's too much risk in our silence. Speak up.

You can listen to this special episode of It's Up Dead Podcast with Long, brought to you by Healthy Sexual from Gilead Sciences on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.

All right, we got a very special guest. Hey, hey, B-Rod.
We got a very special guest.

What's up, B-Ron? Joining us today.

49ers running back, Brian Robinson Jr.

How are you doing, bro?

I'm good. I'm good, man.
I'm good, man. Look, 3-0, but y'all have been besieged by injuries, man.
Nick Bosaza, Brock Purdy, Kettle, Jennings. IU can still yet to play.

How have you guys been able to still beat 3-0 as the injuries start to mount? And it's, you know, the adage, the cliche, next man up, has really has really had to be you guys's mantra

yeah i think um the dev just got to prepare they just got to keep preparing like the starters you know um same conversations me and matt jones been having you know the last couple weeks you know um

he didn't think he was gonna he didn't know he was gonna have to start you know the last couple weeks so um you know just big testament to guys that's just come in prepared come in working you know like you know they gonna 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 no depth that you know prepare well.

So, guys got to step up now for sure. Yeah, what would be wrong? 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 a new atmosphere, a 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 got there 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 gonna 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

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 the message. Simple as that.

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 camp? 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, that's the, I felt like at the time, that's the only thing I should have been.

been focused on you know unless you know somebody from the higher up had a message they wanted to say, you know, say something to me that made me think otherwise.

Other than that, you know, my only focus was being a commander, you know, so,

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

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

Listen, B-Rob, that happened to all of us, baby. That happened to all of us.
One day, obviously, it happened to me.

I'm sure it happened to you. And sometimes

you going on about your business, doing what you're doing, 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 blood switching because I done went to war with y'all. And that's what y'all went to leak out there.
And it is what it is.

But listen, you're off the green of pastures, obviously. Enjoying.
So, how are you enjoying your time out there

in San Francisco so far?

Shit, honestly, man, I just, I mean, I jumped straight into it, man. I ain't really have time to really just, you know, get out and really explore like that.

You know, I'm sure when the time come, I'll see what it's like. But, you know, right now, shit, it's just been all ball for me, man.

I had to, I jumped straight off the jet, like, you know, like trying to get in the playbook, you know, obviously, cut shit. I gotta, I'm in the the same position.
You know, I got to.

You like a rookie all over again. Got to learn a new system.

Yeah.

But at the same time, also preparing like the starter that shit 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 get called. I don't care.

about the fact that it's only been a couple weeks. I ain't making no excuses that, you know what I'm saying? When it's time for me to spin, spin.
Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, 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 making no sense to me. You feel me? That makes sense to me.
I'm good. I blocked that.

Hey, one cut. Hey, we're gonna 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. Jenno,

I don't know if you know Bobby T. Bobby T don't play.
Nah.

I done got to know him well over the last few years. Oh, yeah.
He's for sure. Oh, yeah.
Being 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 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's a different animal.

Yeah, he definitely, you know, he is who he is, though, but he's super humble, you know, great, you know, great teammate. So it's, you know, it's easy, 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 McCaffrey 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 why he is the special player he is because he he he handled he handled his business like that.

He be on top of it. 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? I'm like, like, just the thought, man, and being able to share the field. I'm 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 have loved to go against.

Fred Warner has to be one of my favorite players.

Man,

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 i think you know being able to share the field with fred is special you know that's a that's a it's a moment in my life i ain't gonna take for granted for sure because

i came out here to san friend i had to play against fred my uh rookie year yeah um

man we 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 on the same team, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, hey, we're going to, we're going to go do that to other teams. Now we're going to go do what we was doing to each other.

We're going to go do that to somebody else. You know what I'm saying? So dope.

I think that's stuff.

That's dope for sure. B.
Rob, do you remember?

First game, you came out. That'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 and 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 what'd you miss like three four games or you can't you no you was right back yeah i only missed I only missed the games that I was out for the, what is it, NFI?

Yeah, the football injury. Injured reserve.
So you gotta, you gotta, you gotta miss. You gotta miss four games.
So those are the only, those are the only four games I had missed.

Did you know, did you know you were gonna be able to make it back so quick? So when this happened, so what, what, 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, you know, I would be able to, you know, play ball.
Okay. You know, so that was the first thing the doctors told me.
So

once I got out of there, shit, I took 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, shit, once I started walking and I was able to jog and just move my feet and just do little cuts and stuff that just make me feel like myself again, I just started kind of ramping myself up just in the, in the training room and getting stronger.

And really,

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.

especially after she getting named a starter, too. I'm like, yeah, I got to get out there.
Start my career as a starter. I got to go get in there and get active.
Like,

and

I went even close to healed and healthy 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 finally came back, this was the thing that this was the decision-making time.

After I 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's, 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 move precisely. You know, I always had that precision in my movements.
You know, so it was actually kind of shocking how that even, you know, 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, that, 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 just 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 the nfl security um of our team that was just telling us like how the gun laws and stuff like that is down there so i'm like all right i ain't got ain't no guns guns down ain't gonna worry about the gun feel me so bad please so my mindset just my mindset 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 shit, it happened just that fast. Damn.
Just

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?

Nah, man. I ain't really even have

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 uh

i ain't really come i ain't give them i ain't give them nothing but um

it was i just ain't really have time to you know shit was just happening so fast i ain't really had i ain't had time to do nothing for real but but what i did but like i said you never know what you're gonna do until you get in a situation like you know i learned something about myself that day you know um

you got

i'm glad you're good though i'm glad you're good man but by the grace of god man to be able to continue doing what I'm sure was your childhood dream, and that's playing the game of football.

You're from Tuscaloosa.

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

Nah, not really. I ain't even going to 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,

it almost got a little rowdy as

right before like it was time for me to go and sign the school,

Kirby had got the head coaching job at Georgia after being at LA 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, you know, 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.

And Kirby had got that job. He made it interesting for a short, short second.
And I was just like, nah, bro, I 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 got to go back.
I I got to go back a few years because

my first running back that I actually paid attention to, you know, just growing up in Tuscaloosa was Glenn Coffin.

So

I'm going to throw him in there.

I'm going to let Glenn slide. Then I'm going to let Mark Ingram get in there.

I got to let Mark get in there.

I got to let Trent get in there. I got to let Trent get in there.

I got to let Josh get in there. I gotta let Josh get in there.
Do you got one more spot?

Not include myself. I'm not including myself, but I'm gonna put Derek in there, too.
You gotta get there. Damn, you put Derek in there as an afterthought, huh? Damn.
But no,

he ain't last. It ain't really no order.
Everybody doing their thing. It ain't no order when you're putting the Bambo 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?

If you have an honest conversation, one uncomfortable minute can save you a lifetime of regret. The CDC says nearly one in five people carry an STI and most don't even know it.

Real intimy isn't built in the dark, it's built in the disclosure. Condoms, testing, transparency.
Those aren't passion killers, they're peace builders. It's too much risk in our silence.

Oh, Joe, the Eagles are 3-0, but one area that is still a work in progress is the passing game. Philadelphia enter week four, 20 night 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 is 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. you know uh when one thing's not working um

i was just saying like let's not continue to keep trying to get our head on the wall and see if it's gonna work and let's let's mix it up and do what we need to do um so that's what i i mean by that and um so yeah

man i don't like that what don't 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 i

See,

he got that C on his chest, huh?

He got that C on 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 Petula, I'm a top five receiver in the league. You hear me?

Man, give 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're 3-0.

But it shouldn't have to take us being behind for us to play aggressively

and then have to throw the ball. Let's have a little balance.
You hear me? Because what's grits with no eggs?

you hear me yeah i'm what's waffle with no syrup all that coughing though i'm concerned

with who you

me

yeah chat y'all heard that

yeah i'm i'm good hey i'm i'm i'm a little 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 oh joke yeah i get a little excited but hey listen hey aj man say what you want to say i'm gonna 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 talking about my production don't match my goddamn salary and you trying to take my chicken and before you take my chicken i'm gonna say what i need to say publicly but i'm gonna 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're 3-0.
I know we're 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 AJ Brown and Devontae Smith. And

we 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, if 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, my God. Oh, my God.
I'm so glad you just said that. Because the philosophy during our day, 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 nine you ain't winning no game running the ball now you can be efficient and winning running the ball when you got 26 back there it's possible but wait a minute sacrom ran for 2000 last year so what you think every team you played for to do gear up to stop it we could have put the great we for the put 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 him.

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

Do anything with 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, yeah, you're right.
I mean, consistently, but

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.
Talk about slow who down. You can only hope to contain him.

Boy, he's a bad one. He's containing him until you slow him down.
That's kind of what's slowing down.

That ain't enough. His slowing down is still a productive day.

An A.J. Brown slowdown day is a productive day.

I'm there to tell you what I, 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,

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 get AJ and Devontae going off early.
Now that's going to open up.

That's going to open up Saquon.

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

They're going to make Jalen Hurts. And I know he's won a Super Bowl, but still, they're going to make him prove that he can beat them consistently throwing the football.

Because I know if we don't stop Saquon,

we can't stop this. It ain't even going to be close.
Because we saw with Saquon, you saw what that offense looked like.

Jalen Hurts throw the ball 12 times.

Because why? I don't need to. Saquon running for a buck 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 Devontae going a lot earlier than the final 16 minutes of a ball game. AJ going the whole first half and not get a target.
Smitty catching one. Come on now.

What are 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?

Let me ask you a question.

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

Yeah, yeah.

Yo.

Let me ask you a question.

What's up? How much freedom Russell Wilson had after having a Super Bowl?

Oh, see, 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.

And today's, you know,

John L. Williams had said that Jalen should have

more freedom because he won a Super Bowl. Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl.

Because

if he 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'd 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 did, he didn't check. Oh, no, no, you're right.

You see what I mean?

Who gets the credit? Well, I think the thing was that Beastmore 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.

That play calls. 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, um, 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 i if we if we play 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 had 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

huh put them clamps on you

clamp clamp what put the mitts on you

what you 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 Butter and Jam, Peter Butter and Jelly, Jam. Oh, Joe.

Man, don't, don't do that. Don't do that to yourself.

Don't do that.

Graveyard out there.

Don't do that to yourself.

How do you think I got the name graveyard?

Because when I left the field, there were bodies everywhere.

Nah,

they ain't white. They ain't got that name.
Yeah, man.

No,

you got that name. You used to work at the graveyard.

That's about it. You used to work at the the grave.
Hey, Cyclops come down here.

You say, Hey, I'm going, hey, I'm putting

I'll put this soup bone upside your head.

It's one thing about it, but with all due respect to all my opponents and everybody I played against, I always showed nothing but love. I was never malicious, but couldn't nobody do nothing with me.

I'm gonna tell that corner, hey,

let him come on inside. I got him.

What you gonna do? What's it gonna do? African soup bone upside your head.

You can't do nothing with me. This is what I do, huh?

I'd have had your hand down by your side just like.

Boy, you crazy, but hey, listen. Hey,

you might have got cut.

You heard me? You might have got cut after playing against me, boy. Hey, Ocho, you'd have been walking.
You might have got cut. You've been walking to the hold of Wookiee, but like, damn.

They got about 13, 14 guys out there.

Yeah, yeah. All right.
That's what I want you to think. You talk a good one until it's time to play me.

Hey, you talking, Ocho.

Hey, that ain't mean nothing.

Hey, the game of football ain't played with those. And what you're showing right now,

put it upside your head.

Who?

Why?

Hey,

you couldn't do nothing with this, boy. You hear me? I'm not there.

She's supposed to 30, bro.

Oh, Joe. Complex dropped the 25 greatest careers ruined by injury.
Number one was Bo Jackson. Number two was Terrell Davis.
Number three, Gail Sayers.

Number four, Monica Sellis. Number five, Sandy Colfax.
Number six was Grant Hill. Seven, Penny Hardaway.
Number eight, Sterling Sharp. Number nine, Earl Campbell.
Number ten, Ken Griffey Jr.

And then you had Andrew Luck, Derek Rose, Mike Trout, Arvita Sabonis, Ralph Sampson, Tracy McGrady, Bill Walton, Pete Maravich, Maurice Stokes, Tony Caliglieri, Bernard King, Brandon Roy,

Del Po Juan, Martin Del Protro of the Argentine,

Robert Griffith, and Yao Ming.

Ocho,

if I give you an opportunity, you can bring five of these guys back

and put them back in their prime with perfect help. Which guys are you picking? I think

Camiglieri got hit in the head with a pitch.

Damn. Yeah.

Five guys to bring back in their prime. Oh, actually, during the era when they got hurt, I'm bringing back Bo Jackson.
Actually, actually, I saw Bo play. I was in the league when Bo played.

Yeah. I'm bringing back King Griffey.
Griffey.

Brandon Roy.

You said Brandon Roy, right?

Yeah, Brandon Roy. His knee was

bad knees.

Yeah, bad knees.

Let me think. Who else on there? I remember Monica Sellers.
I remember when she was in Germany and she ended up getting stabbed. She was good.
She was good.

Because the guy didn't want her to overtake Steffi Graff.

She was,

she was really the first one I heard do all that grunting.

Yeah, yeah, she, yeah, she.

Oh, yeah, I remember. And now all of them do it.
I can't. I can't even watch tennis with the sound.

Now I can't. Even the men do.
Everybody do it now.

A lot of these, like I said, I played with TD.

Don't remember Gail. Gail had blew out his knee.
And back then, they just 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 a three-time offensive player of the year.
I think 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 oh joe he wasn't one zero he was double zero

what what position

what double zero zero

hey that's that's sweet right there i like that like what riff bro you got and you got you got to be that boy too to wear that to wear a single digit or even wear double zero you got to be him

So me, I'm bringing back.

Oh, you know what? D-Roll, Jeff.

I'm biased. I'm bringing my brother back.
I'm bringing Bo.

I mean,

TD already. TD got two Subo.
He's a league MVP, Subole MVP. He was good at that point.
He was good at that point.

Man, Griffey, man.

Griffey ran into the Griffy ran into that

Kingdom Wall too many times. Griffey had no regard for his body.

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

His swing is equivalent to the Mona League.

Raft the 7'4 Sampson. 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 him. But he's a three-time player of the year.

Um,

people don't realize this: that he was, he was the uh, MVP, he was the uh

conference player of the year.

Uh, when when um

he look, Jordan was 84

because he left at 83.

Um,

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

Bird Dog, Bernard King,

Juan Martindel Potro.

We all say, what if, what if?

Oh, Joe, 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 things. 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?

who oh joe can't tell you why y'all don't be why y'all don't be telling me i ain't gonna tell nobody i promise whisper

tell nobody else

quit and 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 and five.
He looked good.

He looked unbelievable. We're 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 fly 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?

or you gonna get chicken or are you gonna get the salad the chicken breast the baked chicken the rotisserie chicken things of that nature that's when it gets hard you struck you're struck in the environment you ain't traveling nowhere ocho you sent home you go train you got your chef cooks your food boom you there you have to make those same decisions that he made to look like he looked and he looks incredible

You have to look like that dentist. He has 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 his

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 gonna be with him along the way on this entire journey through the whole thing. I hope so.

Lanny Ray said, Hey guys, Josh Mettellis does an IG segment called Tell Us with Metellus. Scold.
I'm thinking we need no cap recap with Shannon and Cappin' with Ocho segments for nightcap.

What capping mean?

Well, that's a big ass. Hey, that's a big ass hat.

I ain't get that.

And if you sent one, you know, man.

They say he has cost about $5,900.

Hey, listen, everybody be thinking I'd be lying,

I'll be capping.

But anytime I put anything on you,

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 when there wasn't no cameras.
I believe you, Ocho.

Yeah, appreciate that.

JBS spoke me, said, what cigar are you smoking, Ocho?

Oh, hey, but it's right here, boy,

a two-road Fuentes. I got no Fuentes.

What you know about that? You gotta worry about it.

I went to the Dan Marino golf tournament and I won. Right.

They had like a limited release. I think they did like 50 boxes.
And I bet I won.

Okay.

I forgot. I didn't know at the time.
I ain't know nothing about the cigar. I didn't know you had to be in the humidor and they dried out.
They got to be in the humidor. They're going to get stale.

Oh, you done messed up. But that good money, man.
You done wasted money, man.

That's good money, man. I get it.
Aaron Owen says, when El Wade retired, was there any trade discussion to get a vet for the 99th 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. 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, Arkidocho.

What would you rather have as a QB in order of success? An elite O-line, average skill group, 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. The whole thing.
And if you guys can get over, you can be average to get over. You got enough time.
They get open now.

Yeah. You can be elite all you want to.
When they just, when them turnstiles.

Nah.

Bear down, 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, 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 send me send me a message on instagrams and i'm gonna see it but we hang out together you hear me first of all i need to do me two do me a favor i need to hit i crave it's in liberty city where i grew up you're gonna love it 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

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 write these down.

Okay, boom. Cuban food.
Havana Cuban cuisine. That's out west.
It's out there by me. 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 ra saint brown

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 my wave AJ. But in real life, I ain't doing none of that.
But go ahead. That's it.
I'm just asking. Cal Simpson said, Uncle Nocho, I need y'all's opinion.

Honestly, honestly.

Honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like PrEP.

PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it.

PrEP can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.

Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention options and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more. Sponsored by Gilead.
