Ocho, I ain't seen somebody do this to the Ravens in a very, very long time.

They physically, physically beat them up.

Ain't no trickery.

It's that we are more physical than you.

That link is pinned in the chat.

Oh, Joe.

Yo.

The Lions go into Baltimore.

Run the ball for 264 yards.

No, let me take that back.

They ran the ball for 200.

Hold on.

How many yards did they run the ball?

224.

They ran the ball 38 times, 224.

David Montgomery had 12 rush attempts for 154 yards and two touchdowns, had a long of 72.

So he's averaging what?

12, 12.

So he's averaged damn near 13 yards of carry in an NFL game.

Yeah.

Hold on.

Not just, hold on, just not an NFL game, huh?

We talk about the, we talk about the Ravens.

Ravens.

Ravens, any, any NFL game.

We playing against the Ravens, who identity, they're known for what?

They known for their defense.

They're known to be physical.

Jared Goff was 20 of 28, 202 yards, an interception.

No, excuse me, a touchdown, no turnovers, zero sacks.

Lamar Jackson had an okay night throwing the ball, 21 of 27, 288, three touchdowns.

Ocho, but he was sacked seven times.

Yeah.

And it wasn't, they wasn't bringing no pressure.

That was four-man pressure.

A lot of that was three-down.

They would bring what we call three-down scan, three-down spy, where they would rush three and then have somebody like right there.

Where are you going, Lamar?

Lamar, yeah.

And spy.

And they're getting pressure with three rushes.

That's unacceptable.

Yeah.

And

can you hear me?

Let me tell you something, bro.

That's that's three games, huh?

That's three in a row.

That's three games.

And the ball is in your left hand.

So obviously he's a right-handed player.

That's his non-dominant hand, arm.

And so now they see.

The ball is away because he's getting ready to stiff arm.

And the ball just got slightly away from his body and hutched from the back.

You you gotta sense that.

They're gonna attack the ball now, Henry.

That's what they're doing.

They say, you know what?

Hey, we're not gonna let you run our ass over.

You can't go nowhere without the ball.

Yeah, and obviously, Hutch was coming from behind too,

and he had no idea.

And he's running to the left.

So, as a running back, you learn that from Pee Wee.

You learn it in high school.

You learned it in college.

If you're running to your left, you always keep the ball in what?

In your left hand.

But obviously, somebody coming from behind, you got to keep that thing high and tight.

You got to keep it high high and tight.

Ocho,

I've been trying to tell, I see, see, the thing is, a lot of times, Ocho, if you're just a fan of the game and you just watch the game, my team won.

We're not trying to hear what you're saying.

Right.

I said, now y'all can blame it on Henry's fumble and you can blame this.

But Baltimore, your defense is an issue.

Yeah.

Baltimore, and I told you this the other night when you played Buffalo.

You gave up 264 yards in the fourth quarter to the Buffalo Bills.

You gave up 22 points in the fourth quarter to the Buffalo Bills.

I said, you've got an issue.

Now, Baltimore Ravens fans, you know, because a lot of you guys have said, man, we need a new DC.

Zach or we need a new DC.

I don't know what you need, but if somebody would have told me that the Lions was going to come in there and physically beat the Ravens up, I say, I bet you're doorknob to a bucket of cow manure.

That won't happen.

Yeah, absolutely.

Listen,

I wouldn't think the Lions would come in and physically dominate and pose their will on the Ravens, especially offensively.

I knew they would score points.

I knew that.

And I felt the way the game started off, the first and the second quarter, they was going back and forth.

And I thought to myself, I'm at the cigar bar for the first half.

Man, I kicked my feet up.

But it's going to be a barn burner.

They finna be going back and forth.

But obviously, Lamar Jackson holding on to the ball a little bit too long, trying to make plays down the field.

Take off.

You got to know when to go.

And if you're not going to go, if you're not going to take off, throw the ball out of bounds.

Throw the ball away.

So you live to see another play.

So you live to see another down, but you're putting your team in unfortunate circumstances.

You're going from first and first and 10 to 2nd and 18, from second and 18 to third and 20-something.

So there are really not many plays that you can run from that point.

And so you lose the offensive series.

Yeah, it ain't that many plays in the playbook that you got for third and 15, third and 20, third and 25.

Oh, Cho.

You might go a whole year.

A defense might go a whole year and maybe have one drive in which they give up a drive of 90 plus yards yeah the ravens gave up two in this game two a 96 yard drive and a 98 yard drive you know how hard that is to do hell yeah you know how long do you know how hard it is to string together a bunch of plays and drive the whole goddamn field basically had the ball for 11 minutes no that's very difficult Yes.

That's very difficult to do.

Hey, Montgomery had a day.

You know that that monkey jumped on his back like he was running the goddamn 400.

Jameer Gibbs had a day.

Listen, and this is this all comes down to you're going to have games like this, right?

But they got to fix the turnovers.

You got to fix the turnovers.

Listen,

the Lions should have had almost three interceptions.

They dropped them.

Yes.

They dropped them.

And this is what has always haunted the Ravens once they make it to the playoffs.

They play very well throughout the season.

and they get into into the first round of the playoffs and they do stuff like this.

They turn the ball over.

They need to fix these issues.

I'm glad it's early in the season.

It's only week three, so they have plenty of time to get this stuff together.

Derrick Henry, they're going to go back.

They're going to start from the basics, high and tight.

If you got to run the ball like goddamn Tiki Barber did when he played,

so be it.

Or keep it, look here, or keep it in your right arm.

If you feel more comfortable, which if you go back and look at Emmett Smith, you'll never see him with the ball in his right arm.

Right.

He kept everything in his left because, and he's a right, but he felt more comfortable.

Go back and look at Emmett It don't matter what side of the foot what side he's on.

He taking a toss to the right, he got it in his left.

He taking a toss to the left, he got it in his left.

So King Henry, if you feel more comfortable with it now, it's going to take away the stiff arm opportunity.

But Emmett wasn't

really wasn't a stiff arm type of guy.

That is your weapon, is the stiff arm.

And

you know, you got the ball.

If you're on the left hand side, you're on the right-hand side.

It's going to be hard to stiff arm somebody coming from the inside.

yeah but you got to do something like it's mental now ocho you know how it is ocho you drop a couple of passes in the game it's in your head

it starts bothering you it's in your head hey you start you start trying to body catch it and like okay oh i'm gonna look it i'm gonna look it all the way in and they think no the ball is upside your head

Hey, we all have been there.

If you catch pants, if you caught passes for a living, you've had a day and you're like, damn, just don't throw me the ball.

And here I am.

I'm open again.

Yeah, ball beat you right up.

Ball Ball beat you up.

Ocho.

This is what we normally say about the Ravens do to other teams.

They beat people up.

Yes.

They smash people.

For the Lions to come in here and do what they did.

Jared Goff was 20 of 28, 202 a touchdown.

God.

Excuse me.

No interceptions.

No sacks.

I do understand.

Mattabique.

And Van Oy, two of their best pass rushers, wasn't there.

Yeah, they hurt.

But that ain't got nothing to do with that running now.

No.

That ain't got nothing to do.

That's a running is about physicality.

It's about domination.

It's about moving a man out of the way against his will.

Will, right.

That's what that is about.

And for somebody, if, like I said, Ocho, if somebody would have told me, this is what was, this is the type.

Okay, if you tell me the Lions are going to win where they can score points, okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

I don't think they're going to win in Baltimore.

But, you know, if they, okay, I can see that.

But if you tell me they're going to come in and get dominated like they got dominated tonight,

I wouldn't have believed that.

Not running the ball like that, Ocho.

I haven't seen the Ravens get run on like that.

That's physically, that's physically dominated.

And, you know, I thought Lamar was throwing the ball well.

Like you said, Ocho, that clock's got to go off a little quicker.

Yeah.

That's all.

The clock's got to go off a little quicker, bro.

That ain't seven on seven.

They're not going to let you back there and pat the ball and let you just pat the ball and just let you pat the ball.

You got to go.

Hey, after one pat, let it go.

Yeah.

Take off.

Either you take off or let it go out of bounds somewhere.

But

I think you got to look.

The Lions defense, man.

And that was a bugaboo last year, Ojo.

You know, they score points, but

they had to seemingly outscore everybody.

Right.

This defense this year, look, they gave up 30 points.

I only really counted that last year.

That was late in the ball game.

Right.

Because they had a goal line stand.

They stuffed, they stuffed Derrick Henry.

They stuffed him.

And then Lamar tried it, and they stuffed Lamar.

Give them credit.

They bowled their backs when they had to bowl their backs.

But I'm concerned about the Ravens defense.

Yeah.

I'm concerned about it, Ocho, because like I said, they gave up 200, ocho, man, 264 yards and a quarter.

That's over a thousand yards of the damn game.

And you gave up 22 points.

Yeah.

So now look at this, what they gave up today.

They gave up a drive of 67, 98, 60, and 94 yards.

Two touchdown drives of at least 11 plays or more.

One of the drives took 10 and a half minutes off the clock

and listen and one of one of their strong suits one of the strong suits of the ravens always been they being able to stop the run the the the issues with the ravens has always been the back end huh it's always it's always been the back end but now it looks like not only the back end is struggling hell the front end is struggling too if you can't stop the run and you can't stop the goddamn pass well you just out there for goddamn decoration yeah i love hey let me let me tell you something too I love Dan Campbell.

I love Dan Campbell and his willingness not to give two flats, drops, a pigeon drop on concrete, what down it is.

They playing four-down football.

Dan Campbell is playing four-down football no matter where he's at on the field.

He really just don't care.

Well, you got to understand the type of game that you're in.

He's like, okay, well, my defense really hadn't stopped them.

They're going up and down the field tight.

And so the likelihood, so the likelihood of a field goal game beating the Ravens is not very likely.

And we're down in this situation.

We're fourth and one.

We're fourth and two.

I trust Jerry Goff to make the right decision.

It's the same thing.

That's why the Baltimore Ravens, you understand the type of game that you're in.

That's what you have to do.

Within the first drive or two, you understand what type of game this is going to be, Ocho.

Most definitely.

This is going to be, hey, it's going to be one of those 30-point games.

Yes.

And so, kicking, punting the ball and kicking field goals, that's not how we're going to win this game.

I'm concerned.

Look, the turnovers will always be an issue.

Obviously, you can't turn the football over.

But

the ease

in which the Lions move the football tonight is very concerning to me.

Let me tell you something.

This is the good thing, Uncle.

This is the good thing for the Ravens.

How many offenses are like the Lions that's in the NFL?

Maybe two or three.

I'm talking two or three that can go up and down the field and throw it.

Maybe the Packers, a one.

You don't have to be like the Lions if you got it going up against.

Everybody's going to look like the Lions against that defense.

I don't know.

Everybody don't have the personnel.

It's all about situational football.

The personnel you have.

Okay,

let's just say the AFC.

You got the Chargers.

That's one team that's capable of doing exactly what the Lions did tonight.

That's one.

The Chargers.

Who else?

I'm throwing Cincinnati out because they don't have...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Yeah, they got broke.

They're not doing anything.

It ain't too many.

Even though Mahomes can't run the football like that,

it's still and come playoff time,

you're not betting, you're not willing to wager anything against him.

Right.

And here's the other thing, Ocho.

We know the Ravens don't play their best football in the postseason.

So I don't need to look like the Lions did tonight in order to beat them.

Because guess what?

I got seven sacks and turnovers.

And we know in the postseason when the Ravens lose, what do they do?

Turn the ball over at least once.

A lot of occasions is two or more.

So I don't really need to look like the Lions in order to beat the Ravens because they're going to give me some cheap possessions.

They're going to put me, they're going to turn the ball over in their territory and give me a short field.

Right.

And you know how momentum is in the playoffs.

Man, once that thing goes, hey, they can run seven, 10, 14 points on you in a hurry.

I'm shocked.

Chad,

I'm not bulljoving y'all.

I am shocked.

with the ease in which the Detroit Lions ran the football, how they protected their quarterback.

I mean, bro, they had 426.

I mean, they couldn't get them off the field, Locho.

Yeah.

And matter of fact, you know what?

I will say, I will say this.

As someone who watches the game of football, understand the game of football.

Even though the Ravens lost tonight, they were dominated somewhat defensively on the offensive side of the ball.

Obviously, Lamar taking six, seven sacks, whatever it may have been.

It should have been damn near three, maybe even four interceptions.

A game like this, Lamar have a game like this, and then here going on a street unkn for the next 11 12 games and them same sacks he's taking he breaking those for 20 and 30 yard gains so here you have a game like this but then you don't you don't chastise him for having a game like this or trying to make plays and trying to extend plays which he's extremely extremely good at because the rest of the year he gonna break all those the rest of the year those seven or six sacks they're not gonna be sacks they're going to be gains in which he has 10 or more yards to keep a drive going but here's the thing though.

When he was taking those sacks last year, what did his mom say?

Run the damn ball.

Run the damn ball.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You see, so sometimes he gets caught up.

I can throw.

Yeah, we know you can throw the football.

But in situations like this, I mean,

they're dropping 70 coverage.

Yeah, they were.

They were.

You got to give them credit, Ocho, because they were stopping him with their front.

So they didn't sacrifice the back end.

So they didn't have to drop that safety down to

deal with King Henry.

Give those guys credit.

Now, they're going to have to do a better job of finding Bateman.

It seems like Mark Andrews getting his legs back.

You know, he came off that very, very serious leg injury a couple of years ago.

And so he's starting to look like Mark Andrews again until likely

comes back.

But I was just shocked.

I mean,

400, it was 7 of 14.

Excuse me.

It wasn't like the Ravens were bad on third down.

They were six of 11, but 50% on third down, and then you go three or three on fourth down.

Hold on.

And think about it.

In the red zone, if I'm not mistaken, the goddamn Lions were what?

Four for four?

Five for five in the red zone?

Every time they got down there?

Yep.

Man,

there was four or five in the red zone.

Okay.

Four or five, and the Ravens was two or four.

Ooh, that's going to be hard to beat.

I mean, you think about it.

Both teams, I mean, 20 of 28 passing for the Lions, 21 of 28 for the Ravens, 7.2 yards per pass play, 6.7.

My concerns have been watching them the first game of of the season.

I'm like, okay, I don't want to make too big of an issue.

Right.

But that defense concerns me, Ocho.

That defense concerns me.

Yeah.

I mean, listen, that's going to be their Achilles heel.

That's going to be their Achilles heel until they fix it.

And people saying, oh, we need a deep as a coordinator.

We need a new coordinator.

Well, you got who you got right now.

Yeah.

But listen,

every time I hear that, listen, we talked about Ben Johnson and

AG obviously being gone, but you still have the same personnel.

And

we saw that tonight.

We saw that tonight offensively.

The creativity is still there.

Them boys ran a goddamn triple option, huh?

Man, they ran a triple option.

And defensively, they made some great plays.

Brian Branch all over the place, almost had an interception.

I'm not sure what happened to that.

That was an easy one, too.

But, I mean, they look good.

They look good on both sides of the ball.

And Ocho, and I'm looking at Detroit.

And then I watch how Green Bay dominated them.

Yeah.

Green Bay dominated them.

Yeah.

I don't even know if they had 200 yards of total offense.

I was like, what the hell?

And then I watched them drop 52 on Chicago last week.

Yeah.

Who just turned around and dropped 38 on Cowboys last year.

But beating Cowboys ain't saying much because Cowboys defense hadn't been good for an extended period of time.

But Detroit,

Detroit off, and we knew offensively.

And I know, look, Green Bay is a division game, Ojo.

Division games are tough.

Now, when you start,

when you drop 30, 40 points on a division opponent that knows you, you play each other twice a year.

You know them, they know you.

And it's not like I understand Ben Johnson is your new head coach, but hell, you just coached against him for the last five years as offensive coordinator for the Lions.

So you got film on him.

You know what he likes to do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Adam Lightning.

When it's all said and done, we thought they lost both coordinators.

They were going to take a step back.

It doesn't look like they're going to take a step back.

It looks like they're going to take a damn giant leap forward.

Yeah.

And the funny thing about it

is you know how the saying goes, especially in the beginning of the season,

any given sunday on you're right any any given sunday especially in the beginning of the season right now teams offensively they're not even into their form yet they're not even today form defense is a is a little different all you're doing is you're reading and reacting by the time you get to week five and six and everybody offensively is hitting their stride hey look at kaylen williams even though they were playing the cowboys We had doubts about Caleb Williams.

Now he's starting to come into his own, looking like the quarterback that was drafted in the first round.

Now, again, I knew it was the Cowboys.

Excuse me.

I knew it was the Cowboys.

Yes.

But still, this is what we've been waiting for.

But that's what I want to see.

Oh, Joe, when I'm playing an inferior opponent and I know they're bad on one side of the ball, don't you want to see your side of the ball dominate

the side that you feel are inferior?

We know the Cowboys defense isn't very good.

So I expected everybody to get healthy.

If you're struggling offensively, the doctor will tell you, play the Cowboys and call me tomorrow.

you'll be just fine because you'll be able to do whatever you want to do.

They can't consistently generate pressure.

The past defense isn't very good, and it hadn't been very good for a very, very long time because they can't generate pressure.

And you can't put pressure on, I don't care who your secondary is unless you're dealing with Hall of Famer, historically great players.

You're not going to do anything.

You've got to pressure the quarterback.

The quarterback got to go down.

The quarterback has to be in fear.

You have to speed the quarterback up.

But Detroit, 24 first down, Ocho, they had 11.

They got one by penalty.

11 on passing, 12 on rushing,

third down efficiency.

They were 50% on third down.

There was 100% on fourth down.

66 total plays.

See,

the Ravens ran into the problem, Ocho.

They had 19 rush attempts.

Now, you know damn well the Ravens normally have 30, 35, 40 rush attempts.

Yeah.

Yeah, but listen, they had those rush attempts like that.

It's a high volume of rush attempts when the goddamn run is actually working.

But don't, don't, don't let, listen, a lot of times, Ocho,

guys tell the story like you go to, you know, you see a lot of professional athletes.

Now, some guys make a lot more money than others.

Yeah.

And then you'll get caught up in a situation.

Y'all at the club, let me get a bottle.

Let me buy a round for everybody.

You ain't got money like him.

No, no, no, no, no.

Or you go to the casino, Ocho, and they playing $1,000, $5,000 a hand.

Well, bro, you're supposed to be playing playing a hundred dollars a hand and you get caught you get caught up in you get caught up in that the ravens got caught up into this situation ojo because they see okay the gang gonna be high score but ravens y'all score 40 y'all can score points and run the ball yeah yeah yeah

go ahead what you wanted to say hold on i just heard i just heard you say something now excuse my ignorance I heard you in comparison to tonight's game, the casino part and playing $1,000, $5,000 hands.

That's a real thing?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

I recently recorded the first episode of Smart Talks with IBM, where I learned how AI agents are joining AI assistants as a major productivity tool.

Let's start with AI agents.

AI agents can reason, plan, and collaborate with other AI tools to autonomously perform tasks for a user.

Brian Bitzel, an expert from IBM, gave me an example of how a college freshman might use an AI agent.

As a new student, you may not know, how do I deal with my health and wellness issue?

How many credits am I going to get for this given class?

You could talk to someone and find out some of that, but maybe it's a little bit sensitive and you don't want to do that.

Bissell told me you could build an AI agent, a resource for new students that helps them navigate a new campus, register for classes, access the services they need, and even schedule appointments on their behalf, which in turn buys them more time to focus on their actual schoolwork.

We can see patterns of how agents and assistants can help employees and customers and end users be more productive, automate workflows so they're not doing certain types of repetitive work over and over again, and streamlining their lives and making data more accessible to them 24 hours a day.

You get caught, you a oh, Joe, you know, you go in the club and they look it.

Hey, I got it like that too.

Hey, let me get a bottle.

Hey, you know, we done got us, we done got us a table.

Hey, let me get a bottle.

Let me get that ace of spade.

Let me get this.

Let me get that.

You try to impress people.

Hold on, where the hell can you play a thousand or five thousand dollar hands?

I played blackjack.

Yeah, hold on.

I played blackjack in Vegas, and it was a $25 table.

$25.

Yeah, exactly.

But they got $25,000 tables too, and they got $50,000 table, and they got private rooms that they'll let you play up to probably $100,000 a hand.

What?

Yes.

Who the hell has that kind of disposable income to pay $100,000 a hand?

A lot of people.

A lot of people.

That's how you win millions.

You can't win millions playing $500 hands.

If you're trying to win, if you, it takes money to make money.

So if you're trying to take money off the casino, you're going to have to put something up.

They say in order to catch a lion, you got to use your best goat.

So if you want big bucks, you got to put big bucks up.

Oh, hell no.

I'm just saying.

Man, Detroit, they impressed me tonight.

They look real good.

They impressed me tonight.

The Ravens at home

and coming off a big win against Cleveland.

And look, they dropped 40 on Cleveland and we think Cleveland's defense is good.

You wore them down because they turned the turnovers

and then you know you're going three and out and now you're putting your defense on the field, back on the field.

No matter how great your defense is, they will wear it down if you continually put them, trot them out there.

I think this, tonight, I think we ought to make this more about what Detroit did do than what the Ravens did do.

Yeah, absolutely.

We can say the Ravens' defense is concerning.

We can say Lamar took too many sacks or he needs to speed the process up, either take off running with the football or throw it away.

But somebody put them under the gun.

Somebody put them in fear.

That was the Detroit Lions.

Detroit Lions ran the football.

They did a great job of protecting Jerry Goff because he's not the most mobile quarterback and he was never under the rest.

Yeah.

And listen.

A guy like him, if you don't, if a guy like him, Ocho, if you don't don't put him under the rest, he'll pick your ass apart.

At the end of 20 or 28.

Matter of fact, the fact that he's not a dual threat quarterback, you got to get pressure and get him off the spot.

You got to find a way to make him uncomfortable.

And if you blitz, you got to be careful.

If you blitz, they're going to kill you.

If they blitz, they're going to kill you because offensively, they already got the hot reads already built in because he's not a mobile quarterback.

And matter of fact, I forgot to tell you, I was being nice tonight.

You shouldn't be saying foot or ball because you are Ravens.

Why are you bringing Ravens helmet out tonight?

Matter of fact, I feel bad for you because not only did your team lose tonight on Monday night, your team will lose next Monday night too.

Nah, we win the other team.

Nah, your other team is going to lose next.

Wait, is it Monday?

Yeah.

We got a double header.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're going to get a double whammy.

A double whammy.

And

I could almost guarantee you that.

No.

I mean, think about it.

Ocho, they only missed four tackles on defense.

The Lions improved to 12 and 2 in prime time games under Dan Campbell, Gibbs and Montgomery, aka Sonics, and Knuckles recorded a touchdown in the same game for the 11th time.

Both had two touchdowns.

They broke the tie with Packers great.

Huh, Paul Horning and Jim Taylor, both of those guys in the pro football hall of fame, and Hugh McElhaney and Joe Perry.

Joe DeJette Perry was once the all-time leading rusher in NFL history, if I'm not mistaken,

for the most such games of any running back tandem.

So,

um

ocho

uh

i don't know if you noticed you probably agree with me

aiden hutches about be become the highest paid non-quarterback in the nfl aiden yep he sacked lamar twice right

uh

I know he got him once.

I know he had one sack.

Hold on, let me see.

No, he had one sack, one tackle for loss force fumble uh muhammad had two and a half sacks yeah hey i don't i don't i don't know about i don't know about the highest pay but he he'll get close to it because he ain't getting more than 47.

why not he

oh he's not getting more than 47 and they just gave they just gave mica they mic is mike is mike is a transcending talent aiden hutchinson is good he's really good aiden hutchins before he broke his leg he was the odds on favorite to be defensive player of the year hold on before he what before he broke his leg and there go your answer on why he's not not getting more than 47.

They got a rod in his leg, and the rod is not a leg of stronger.

Watch what I tell you.

Now, see, just like I told you last night, I told you CD gonna be out three to four weeks.

Now, didn't I tell you that?

Now, chat, y'all listen, y'all listen to a guy that's never been hurt.

Why would you listen to a guy that's never been hurt?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I never said CD wasn't gonna be hurt.

He had a high ankle sprain.

I did not know what he said.

You said one week.

You said one week.

He's not getting re-evaluated till 14 days.

Right.

I said three to four weeks.

you said one

i did you see did you see that man ankle hold on wait that man ankle bone laid on the ground hold on you got to listen to me you got to understand

i saw i saw he got caught up in the tackles he got caught up under the person's um uh body weight actually yeah his body weight is why why he had a high ankle sprain if cd were to come to me and holler at your boy i can get him back in a week but the fact that everything in that structured environment they like to do things their way with their people it's probably gonna take three to four weeks for them to get back on the goddamn field.

It's going to take that.

I mean, that thing stretched.

Like I said, that's exactly the way CD got hurt.

That's exactly the way I hurt my ankle the very first time with a high ankle sprain.

Albert Lewis tackled me the same way, but it was like a hip-drop tackle, Ocho.

And did the exact same, Ocho, I'm talking about the exact same thing.

And every time I would get my ankle, that's how I hurt my ankle.

It was like they just knew.

I never rolled it over the top.

I always rolled in.

Oh, man.

and then they put that weight on it all that pressure yeah yep

ocho Aiden Hutchinson isn't he younger than Micah he's probably a year or two younger than Micah

he can't be more than 24 Ocho

oh I mean probably not but but you you got to understand

listen now

come on come on you you know the game very well they love to use certain things against you as as great as great as he is as great as he was in becoming he was gonna be a rookie he he was going to be rookie of the year.

That was his rookie year, right?

He was cutting up?

He was cutting up his rookie year.

He was cutting up his second year.

Second year.

Cutting up his third year.

But here's the thing, Ocho, because he's young.

And guess what?

You're a local kid.

Where is he from, Ocho?

He's from out that way?

Yes.

He went to Michigan.

He played.

Yes.

Okay, okay.

Well, all that plays a part in, but I did.

You know how owners work.

You know how management work, man,

when it comes time to, well, you know, this happened to you.

We don't.

Not with them.

Oh,

I see what you mean.

Okay, I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

You good.

We let that one go.

Yeah.

The Ravens, one turnover, allowed seven sack.

Missed 20 tackles.

John Harbard.

The biggest problem is we didn't play good run defense.

That's not going to be good enough.

That's bad run defense.

That's not who we are.

I totally agree.

It cannot be who we are.

We got to get

better pass.

John Harbaugh must be, is John Harbaugh, was he listening to me talk, Ocho?

Yeah.

We got to get a better pass rush.

There's no doubt about it.

That's not going to be good enough ever.

I'm sitting there watching the game and I'm saying this from, I'm like,

I'm just sitting there like, bro.

Y'all got to put the pressure on the quarterback.

I don't care.

Jerry Goff, if you let him sit back there in the pocket,

he'll do just what he did.

Did you see him last week?

Who did they play last week?

Chicago.

Ocho, he completed 82% of his passes

for five touchdowns.

Now, I don't know what 28, 20 or 28 is, but it's damn good.

Yeah, absolutely.

I don't know what percentage is off the top of my head, but it's better than 60%.

I know that.

And he was under noted arrest.

And, Ocho, and like you said, at some point, you got to stop something.

Damn.

Yeah.

You like the guy, oh, he, Ocho, you like fighting.

So you know boxing.

The guy hits you with the jab.

He hit you with the straight right.

He hit you with the check.

He hit you with the left.

He hit you with double cut.

Son, you got to stop something.

He hit you with everything.

Yeah.

So damn, either block the jab, but you got to do something.

He can't tag it to the body.

What damn, son?

Ravens, you got to stop something.

Either you rush the pass and put pressure on the quarterback, or you stop the run.

But you're not beating anybody.

If you give an offense anything they want,

they're going to take more than what they're giving them.

They're going to take you to town every time.

They're going to take you to town every time.

The funny thing about it is the Ravens don't have to play an offense like the Lions every week.

So probably, I'm not even sure who their next opponent is, but they probably going to embarrass them.

They probably going to score 30 plus.

Yeah.

oh they go they go to kansas city now watch what happened i mean no damn no disrespect to the chiefs no disrespect to the chiefs now watch what happened i guarantee you it will be a hot watch they watch they mollywap the damn chiefs the ravens never mollywap the chiefs well you need to because guess what ojo in order to disrupt the chiefs what must you be able to do pressure mahomes pressure mahomes

uh the ravens had to play kansas city one and two where Mahomes, Patrick, where they've never beaten Patrick Mahomes since 2008.

The Ravens are 0-3 at average, an arrowhead,

allowing an average of 29 points per game.

Derrick Henry also fumbled again.

Like I said,

it's in his head now, Ocho.

Yeah.

I mean, three consecutive games, like one, like, because now people are going to attack the football.

They said, hey.

get that football out.

The same thing happened to Ramondre Stevenson yesterday again in the Pittsburgh.

He had three, right?

Three or two?

He did.

Yeah, he did.

He did.

And so now they're alert when you're in the game, hey, attack the football because

he'll give it up.

But I agree with everything John Harbaugh said.

John Harbaugh basically corroborated what you and I started talking about.

Right, right.

The pass rush wasn't good enough.

The rush defense wasn't good enough.

Because

that's not good enough.

The Ravens are better.

We think the Ravens still, look, it's one game on your.

Oh, yeah, that's true.

But there's there's some cause for concerns for me for what I saw because I've seen this in two out of three games.

We saw Josh Allen in the second half go up and down the field like the Lions did basically the entire damn game.

And you talk about who's going to,

we forgot about Buffalo.

We think Buffalo is going to be there when it's all said and done.

Oh, absolutely.

You're talking about a guy that got Lamar Jackson's legs and he's 6'5 and he's 250 pounds.

Yeah.

And he could throw the ball through the eye of a hurricane.

So now,

what type of team, at the end of the day, what type of team you want to have, Ravens?

Right.

Because I just want you to know now,

this thing don't stay open forever.

The store closes.

The store closes.

So y'all need to cash in some of these opportunities.

Yeah.

They really need to cash in some of these opportunities, Ocho.

They need to go in free agency.

They need to find a bona fide pass rusher.

They need to go into the draft, but they got to get somebody.

When the Ravens were at their best, they had Terrell Suggs.

They had a guy that could put his hand in the dirt and go get your quarterback, defensive player of the year.

They had a Ray Lewis that was a defensive player of the year.

You had an Ed Reed that was a defensive player of the year.

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

Listen, we not those type of players aren't coming around no time soon.

But I'm saying

no Ed Reeds, but I.

But if you go back and look at us, what we had, Ocho, in 2000, we had a Peter Bowlware.

We had a Michael Macquarie.

We had a Rob Bournet.

Hey, you got to have guys that can go get to hunt the quarterback.

You got to hunt the opposing quarterback.

It's an absolute must.

These guys are too good if you don't get them on the ground.

Yeah, you're right.

But the identity for those teams, also during that time, when you were playing, when I was playing, the Steelers, their identity, it was their defense.

Yes.

The identity for the Ravens back then, it was their defense.

And

you feared having to play them.

I mean,

I didn't personally, I'm just saying they instilled fear before you even played the goddamn games.

They were that good.

Yes.

Those days are long gone.

Those days are long gone.

Look, and this is not a knock.

Look, Roquan is Roquan Smith.

He's an all-pro.

Oh, yeah, he's nice.

He's nice now.

But you got to get somebody that can hunt the quarterback.

You got to get somebody that can hunt the quarterback.

That's what you need.

You look at the team.

Philly,

what can Philly do?

We think Green Bay is going to be there because what can Green Bay do?

Hunt the quarterback.

Go get the quarterback.

You look at the teams that we think that's going to be there when it's all said and done.

All of them, we believe, can go hunt the quarterback.

And you've got to be able to hunt the quarterback.

Now, I understand that Van Noy and Mattabeek is injured.

And so when they come back, but okay, and I'll give you that.

Okay, that's why they didn't generate pressure getting to the quarterback right but i i i can offer you nothing on why they gave up 220 plus yards rushing i i got nothing for that ocho i got nothing for that

oh man

uh john harbaugh on derrick henry fumbles i don't think it would be a norm going forward but we got to get it fixed that was a blind shot still we just want to protect the football if you remember ocho every time that he's fumbled if i'm not mistaken it was the cleveland i don't know because he both of them now and oliver got him he was trying to step on.

And Ed said, I can't get you down.

So he raked the ball out.

Oh, yeah.

But the ball was in his left arm.

Tonight, he didn't realize Hutch was behind him.

So it's like, boom, got the ball out.

Now, I don't know if he had it in his left or his.

Maybe it was right.

Because I remember he read through the hole against Cleaver and they punched it out.

They ended up getting it back, if I'm not mistaken.

But he's got a, it's in his head.

Yeah.

It's in his head.

And the bad thing, too, playing running back and you're fumbling the ball, you don't run the same.

You don't run the same.

You don't run as aggressive.

Absolutely not.

You don't run as aggressive.

The Ravens have 111 points this season.

That's the most points through three games by any team in NFL history with a losing record.

They're leading the NFL in scoring, Ocho.

They got 103 points.

They're 1-2.

The next two have...

1-111.

Excuse me 111 they have 111 points they're one and two

uh the colts and the lions

colts are three and oh they got 103 points the lions two and one 103 points let that sink in so they're averaging 35

30 37 points a game yeah

and got a losing record

so it's still early that tells you that tells you your defense.

You heard me?

Because, huh?

It's still early, though.

It's a it's it's real early.

It is early.

It's early.

That's why you need to get it fixed.

Now, yeah, you're right.

Before we have, you don't want to be having this conversation in December, and you damn sure don't want to have it in January.

Nah.

So let's go ahead and have this conversation.

Sometimes, don't you?

You have to have a conversation,

an uncomfortable conversation

before

all hell breaks loose.

Yeah.

Before 2025, no starting quarterback had ever lost multiple games in which they had 140 passer rating in a single season.

Lamar Jackson has already lost two such games through three.

He had 144.4 in a week one loss against the Bills, 148.1 in a week three loss against the Lions.

Now, he does have the highest quarterback rating in NFL history.

Nobody would have ever thought that if you told me that, did I think he could play quarterback in the NFL, yes.

But if you told me he was going to be an MVP-level quarterback and have the highest passer rating,

nobody would believe it.

Because if they'd have believed that, if they would have believed Lamar, this is what I know.

If they believed Lamar would have turned out like this, they'd have taken the number one overall.

Absolutely.

The fact that he had to wait to the goddamn bottom of the first, for the first round.

And the Ravens traded back in to get him.

And then they had the nerve to say, you want to, at the combine, you want to work out as a receiver?

Yeah, run some routes.

what

excuse me come on now that's why hey listen that's why it's so surprising he had to work his tail off to get to the point where he is now though

let me show y'all i'm just not a running quarterback let me show you not only my dude threat i can use my leg but i can use my arm too so now the secondary is not running the secondary is i mean excuse me my primary First thing now is to throw the ball, which is why you're seeing some of the sacks now.

I'm trying to extend plays and show you I I can throw the ball.

But let's get back to what you do best.

If you go through progression and it's not there, go ahead and get them y'all.

All ass.

Go ahead and get them yards.

All ass, OJo.

I'm going to see another day.

You got to.

I think it was a blessing in disguise.

Because maybe if he goes early in the first round, he doesn't work as hard.

Because, Ocho, you know you got something to prove, not only to yourself, because you want to show them.

Man, they wanted me to move to wide receiver.

They wanted me to play running back.

They talking about I'm a running back that can throw.

They really said I wasn't, they didn't do that to Tim Tebow.

They let that man play quarterback.

Now, once they found out he couldn't really play consistent quarterback, they asked him to move.

Right.

But y'all asking me to move without even giving me an opportunity to play it.

Yeah.

Let me go, give me an opportunity to play quarterback.

Then, if I can't play quarterback and if I choose to move, I'll do that.

But at least give me the opportunity.

Right.

So, and he's worked his ass off and became, it's an absolute dime dropper.

Now, that two-point throw

was a frustration for Ocho.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was a frustration because you know, damn well, Lamar Jackson ain't gonna miss a wide-open receiver by that much, right?

He was just like, man,

uh,

Lamar after game one, after the game said, I feel like week one was a wake-up call, not just a loss,

man.

Them boy, them, them boys finna come back and do.

And

I ain't gonna say it no more.

I ain't gonna say it no more.

They're gonna be all right.

They're gonna be all right next week.

They

got the work cut out for them.

You know, Kansas City.

Hey, Kansas City tried to get back, tried to put strengths and wins together.

Hold on.

Kansas City 0-3 still?

What?

They beat the Giants last year?

They did beat the Giants.

Yeah, they beat the Giants.

And

they call it for Russ Head over there already, huh?

I know.

I know.

You did.

We got that coming.

We coming.

Nick Bosa is out for the season, Ocho, Ocho, with a torrent ACL.

The Niners are 3-0.

The Niners look to be cursed.

This is nothing new to them.

Through week three, they've already dealt with injuries.

Mark Purdy has missed the game.

George Kittle has missed two games.

Jawan Jennings missed the game.

Brandon Ayuk has yet to play.

Looking at their injury rankings in the past two years.

In 2024, they were the most injured team.

In 2022, they were the ninth most injured team.

In 2021, they were the third most injured team.

In 2020, they was the most injured team.

In 2019, the sixth most injured team.

In 2018, the fourth most.

I don't know who their training staff is, but

something ain't right.

Something ain't right.

Ain't no way

your team is supposed to be that injured.

I don't know what type of training they got.

Maybe they got them doing bands.

I don't know what they got them doing, Ocho, but this is unacceptable.

Yeah, listen, it's not just their, it's just not their team.

I'm curious and I'm not understanding and why the the injury rate in the NFL is continuing to go up.

And I'm talking about non-contact injuries.

I know Bosa, obviously, was blocking and it gave out.

But

come on, man.

Like, every weekend, somebody, Najee Harris, hurt.

He done towards ACL.

No, Achilles, ain't it?

Achilles.

I mean, Achilles.

I'm like, well, God damn.

Those are so,

that's the thing that's.

That puzzle orthopedics because there's no rhyme or reason.

Because think about it, OJo.

The guy just get ready to take off

and collapse yeah

i don't understand man you know sometimes you know it's just a and normally it's the push-off yeah you know acl you know sudden stop you know you get you know foot got caught in the ground you get tackled from the side you get swiped or something uh the uh the leg the knee goes back

but man something this ain't adding up ocho

I mean, these athletic trainers and the sports trainer, the weight, strength, and conditioning, they're supposed to be some of the best in the world.

And you got a bill.

Oh, you got, I mean,

the 49ers got to be worth seven, eight billion dollars.

Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Y'all got to get some people.

Y'all got to get some people in there that know that

hey.

I mean, I'm right here.

Something adding up.

I'm right here.

Something ain't adding up.

You heard me?

Huh?

You say, you say the 49 and get a bunch of people.

You do realize that to be a strength and conditioning coach, you have to to have a degree.

And that's the problem.

And that's the problem.

That's why everybody keeps motherfucking getting hurt.

Because they worry about shit that ain't got nothing to do with no guy.

It does.

Yes.

Hold on, listen to me.

You go to school and you learn about all these things that mean nothing when it comes to playing that violent sport.

You should bring somebody in there that's played a violent sport and was able to do it without getting hurt.

That's what you need to do.

That don't take no degree.

Under that premise, all your great coaches should have played in the NFL.

How many great NFL?

You say somebody that played.

Hold on, hold on.

Now,

we talk about preventing injuries.

Now, you guys, you're going from apples to oranges.

That's what you totally decide to say.

So, in other words, you're saying that because you played and didn't get injured.

Yeah, never.

Nothing.

But

nothing.

Who's built like Ocho?

So

you're asking people

to do what you did where they're not built like you they don't have the bio

mechanics like you they might not be built like me right they might might not have my makeup or my dna but based on their size and the structure of how they built i'm able to finagle the system and what they need to do to ensure they don't get hurt that's what i do that's what i'm good at that's why i understand on how to the longevity i'm 57 i still ain't been hurt and i'm still active like i'm hey i get active out there right now playing soccer i'm playing pickleball i'm playing tennis like i'm still active nothing wrong with me

nothing requires you to be as violent with the sudden start and stops like an nfl football player yeah that's what i'm saying so the fact that i was able to do it with nothing happening nothing every listen i wish i could give joe burrow my toe i wish i could give cee lamb my ankle i could give man i wish I could give Nick Bosu my knee.

I don't need him.

Man, I'm telling you, I can prevent this stuff, man, but nobody want to listen to me, man.

Yeah,

that's probably not going to, that's probably not going to happen.

I know it's all good, though.

It's all good.

It's all good.

I don't know if they want 47-year-old knees and 47-year-old ankles anyway.

Oh, yes, yes, you do.

You want these.

You want these.

Hey, this ain't nothing but magic.

But hey, look at these knees.

You ain't never seen no knees like this.

Look at that.

Hey, as soon as they got, hey, they still 47.

So when a 27-year-old get out there running, stop, pop.

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

If I put these knees and I put these feet on anybody that's in today's NFL,

man, please.

Man, please.

You talking about magic?

Magic.

They're magic, huh?

What happened to you?

Where you got that from?

Yeah.

Ocho, let me hold it.

Yeah.

Yeah, they ain't going to be moving too fast

with some 47-year-old knees and ankles.

Hey, uh, I just tied myself in the 40 the other day, uh.

You won't believe what I ran.

I probably wouldn't, Ocho.

What'd you run?

I ran a 4-4, Unc.

4-4-7.

Lord have mercy.

4-4-7, Unc.

Right now, that's faster than 73% of the NFL right now.

Oh, Joe.

Now, I'm not saying I could play, but the fact that I can run in a straight line that fast at 57, that means something.

I don't know, OJo, if you run 4-4.

But okay, I'm going to take your word for it.

You just heard Fred Curly tell you I beat him, Unk.

That was just last last year when we was training at Tropical Park down here in Miami.

I'm telling you, I can go in a straight line, boy.

I'm here.

I'm here to deal with.

I'm going to take your word for it, Ocho.

Yeah.

After three weeks with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson on the center, the

New York Giants may be considering a change.

Brian Dayball told reporters today, we just watched the tape here.

We're in meetings with players right now.

It's not all on one guy.

There's multiple reasons reasons why certain plays don't come out the way we wanted them to come out.

When pressed about whether that means a quarterback change is on the table,

Dayball said, we're evaluating everything.

Damn.

The Giants initially planned to take their time with Dart's development.

However, the team's struggles amid an 0-3 record only made the call for Dart to replace Russell Wilson grow louder.

And listen,

you called that earlier.

You called it earlier.

So that eight weeks, that eight weeks might turn into four.

That eight weeks might turn into five, depending on how the next two games go.

I don't think the ball will go to him this early in the season because do you really want to throw him out there right now and

mess with his conscience?

Mess up.

You told me you can't learn nothing on the bench.

If I'm losing, shouldn't I be losing with the guy and getting him some experience?

I know one thing.

Also, throwing him out there to the Wolves like that,

you know what you can lose to?

your goddamn confidence you can lose your goddamn confidence as a young rookie quarterback go out there and get beat upside the head if you want to

if if if i go out if i put him out there ocho and they lose confidence he wasn't the guy for me anyway so i need to see that so i need to see that sooner than later hey my uncle you know how it is though you i do understand how it is hey it's it's already a show as it is you're 0-3 certain things aren't aren't going well the offensive line ain't really giving rust the kind of time ample time he needs to be able to orchestrate the offense.

And then you throw the rookie out there.

Listen, he might be able to make some plays.

He might be able to make some plays.

He might show flashes of what we saw in the preseason.

But them goddamn defenses and exotic stuff and coverages that he's going to see once he gets in there and realize, oh, this ain't the preseason.

Oh, it's not as easy as it was back then.

Now we scheming.

Now we're trying to, we...

Oh, no, it's different, huh?

Ocho.

It's different.

Ocho, on fourth down, Russ threw the ball out the end zone.

Why would you do that?

Don't you want to give your, okay, even if it's intercepted, you turn the ball over, don't you want to give your guy at least a chance to make a play on the ball, Ocho?

Yeah, you're right.

You're right, honestly.

I mean, there's some things a veteran quarterback should understand.

I never understood that.

A guy on fourth down, he throws the ball in the stands or he throws the ball out of bounds.

Well, who's going to catch it over there and gonna get you a completion?

Bless you.

Right, thank you.

You're right.

I just, I

just thought

when you draft a quarterback and it seems to be that they guy that they wanted all along,

they weren't sure that he would be there.

They seem very ecstatic that they were able to get him when they got him.

Yes.

You know this, Ocho,

when

you start to move teams, because you got to realize this is Russ's fourth team in four years.

Right.

Now,

They don't see you as the long-term solution.

Right.

They don't.

I think that's a good thing.

And especially if they got a guy, especially if they drafted a guy in the first round, Ocho, you know, they see him.

And they were just hoping we could get a,

maybe he can give us a year.

Yeah.

Maybe he can just give us a good solid year.

That's it.

If anything,

I would go to Jameis.

I would go to Jameis.

If you want to make a quarterback change, I would go to Jameis and continue to allow Mahomes in it with Alex Smith.

You know,

allow him to continue to develop, being able to get those mental reps from the sideline yes until it's time for him to get in there okay you know what once don't close don't close the door already and you just signed jameis you just signed russell woods for one year deals and then have them sitting on the bench you know for no reason in case something goes wrong with jackson dart uh not wishing any injury on him from that part but i i think if if if you're gonna go with russ go with russ if you're gonna if you're gonna make a change make the change to jameis allow him to to get some reps in to see what he can do you know jamie could be magic magic for five, six weeks in a row.

Yeah.

You know, so I mean, I don't know.

It's unfortunate.

I've always felt that Jackson and Dart was going to start sooner rather than later.

Yeah.

Especially if they started out.

This is the worst situation that could have possibly happened is that you're 0-3.

And you know

that fan base.

You know the articles that they write.

You know talk radio, what they say.

They're impatient.

I just didn't see him surviving.

Given that team, I didn't see him being able to put together enough wins to keep Jackson Dart on the bench for the entire season.

That's it.

All that, I mean, we can say whatever we want, but I just didn't see with that team, with the offensive line, that

they were going to be able to win enough games.

And we, you know, I gave you the schedule last night.

It is not easy.

Yeah, at all.

It is not easy.

I mean, mean,

they got the Eagles twice in a three-week span.

Yeah, that's crazy.

That's crazy.

I don't know, Ojoe.

I mean,

Brian Dayball seems to be losing.

Look,

here's the thing.

If I'm Dayball, let me tell you why I go.

Go Jackson Dart.

I drafted him.

I don't want somebody else to coach him.

Right.

Because guess guess what's going to happen, Ojo?

They're going to fire my ass after this year if this thing don't get turned around.

Yeah.

Oh, it's kind of like you put somebody through college,

and then all of a sudden, like, you don't get to reap the benefits.

Right.

You got to be able to reap some benefits from this.

He's like, I developed this guy.

I like this guy.

I really got him.

And then

somebody else is coaching him?

And the funny thing about it is not only is somebody else is coaching him, whatever coach they do bring in, what if he's not their guy?

Who, Jackson Dart?

Yeah.

When you come in and they got a first round draft pick, he's your guy because they're going to ask you, what can you do?

What type of system that you can make sure he flourishes in?

Okay.

Because that's the first thing I want to know because he's the guy.

We just took a quarterback in the first round, Ocho.

We're not really trying to go do that.

We believe that we believe he's a guy.

So now, because remember.

How he got the job.

He was the quarterback whisperer.

Right.

So I need another quarterback whisperer to come in.

Josh McDaniels, how does he keep getting jobs?

Oh, he can work with young quarterbacks.

Remember?

He got the job

the coach because he was going to work with that.

If I'm not mistaken, it was going to be Andrew Luck.

Turn that down.

And then he goes get the Raiders job.

He's going to be able to work with the Derek Carr.

So when you get this job, look, whomever's coming in,

they're going to ask you,

how are you you going to get maximized Jackson Dart?

What type of offense are you going to run?

How quarterback friendly is it?

Offense,

what type of offense is this?

That's what they're going to want to know, Ojo.

They just lost to the Chiefs.

They're at home at the Char.

They got

at home versus the Chargers, and then they're at the Saints.

Then they're at home versus the Eagles, at Broncos, at Eagles, home versus the 49ers, at the Bears,

home versus the Packers, at the Lions.

Boy, that's heavy.

Hey, that's heavy.

And the funny thing about it is, is Dave Ball.

I'm not sure if he's on the hot seat, but if he is on the hot seat, absolutely.

Oh, but listen, he's going to make a quarterback change rather sooner than later.

Because guess how he got

kids get coaches fired, huh?

You know that, huh?

Yes, I do.

You remember how he got the job?

Because he was supposed to work magic with who?

Daniel Jones.

Daniel Jones.

Yeah.

So that was, hey, they saw what he was doing with Josh Allen.

Big kid Daniel Jones, 6'4, 6'5.

Got nice legs.

Can run.

Can move mobile.

I can move the pocket.

I can design runs.

This quarter, though, hey.

Hey, I can do the same thing for Jackson Dart.

Hey, but listen, if anything, you better make a move now.

He's got a move now.

Listen, to be able to buy yourself some time if you're on the hot seat.

Yeah, oh, he's on the hot seat for sure.

listen if you continue to lose games stand standing standing ground on russ you already know what's gonna happen yes if you wait too if you wait too long and you don't have any type of success this season you out the door

yeah

yeah so if if i'm if i'm if i'm gonna if i'm leap look i want to go down my way Yeah.

My way is that we got a quarterback that we took in the first round.

I believe we can coach him up.

Ocho, can you do any worse?

The worst thing you can do do in the NFL is lose.

I'm losing with a guy.

Russ is not going to be here next year.

Right.

Do you believe Russ will be on this roster next year?

No, sir.

Do you believe Jackson Dart will be on this roster next year?

Yes, sir.

So you probably should go ahead and play him.

Right.

I mean, Ocho, look.

You took the guy.

They wanted the guy.

Yeah.

I just don't see

Saquon's gone.

I mean, look at what Saquon is doing and did in Philly.

Look at what Daniel, the type of success, Daniel Jones.

And

maybe it's the Giants organization.

Maybe it's top to bottom.

Maybe they're not

putting in an environment where they can succeed.

I mean, but that's hard to say when Eli Manning was successful, being able to win two Super Bowls.

They got more talent then than they have now.

If and it you know Brandon Jacobs running the ball.

I think Tiki.

I think they had Tiki running the ball.

So they had they had some they had a nice little thing going Brandon Jennings and then I forget the other guy.

What was the other guy named

44 running back.

I forget his name

Maud Brashaw.

Yeah, Maud Brashaw.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes

Look at that defense.

I mean, they got some nice defensive linemen.

I mean, you know, Stray ain't walking through that door.

Tuck, Ocean.

They're not walking through that door.

Pierce,

they had a nice little squad.

Right now, this is not going to get it done.

It's really that simple.

And you look at that schedule,

guys.

Chargers, Saints, Eagles, Broncos, Eagles, Niners, Bears, Packers, Lions.

Well,

that's a horrible gauntlet to have to go through.

Yeah, Victor Cruz, Plexico.

I mean, look, they got some, look, and I think the thing is also, oh, Joe, people are looking like, man,

Malik Neighbors

had all those catches last year, all those yards, and the quarterback supposedly wasn't near as good as what we got now.

Right.

Why this man got four or five catches?

Why this man all they can't get him can't find ways to get him the ball?

You got to look at that.

Yeah.

Because that's what the fans looking at.

Man, he's one of the top receivers.

Now, he just looked, they got the man looking like a guy.

and we know he's anything but nah, absolutely.

Yeah,

he's not that

hey, that didn't you know what?

That also falls on the officer coordinator, too.

Well, that's Brian Dayball.

That falls on him because you know, obviously, as a rookie,

you're going to surprise everybody.

Can you still have the same success when they know you're coming?

That all comes down to

officer coordinator, putting your players in position to make the plays.

it's it's simple every other team that has a number one receiver they do it extremely well the ram do a pukandakua goddamn tampa doing it right now with a mega buka

you it's it's it's possible

i don't know oh i might be tempted to start him at home

get it get a fan something

get get it get a fan something to cheer for i'm i might i i'm really tempted to start him at home.

Because do I really want to start him on the road in New Orleans?

I damn sure don't want to start him.

I damn sure don't want to start him against the Eagles.

You don't want to start him on the road against the Broncos because the one thing the Broncos can do, they can get after your quarterback.

After your quarterback, yeah.

Then at the Eagles, 49ers.

Ocho, I'm real tempted to start him this week.

I really am.

Look,

I would love for it to be perfect, Ocho.

We have a game.

We have the buy.

I get them an extra week to prepare.

That would be ideal.

Right.

But it is.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm curious when they get to practice Wednesday.

I'm curious who's taking the first team reps.

That will tell us all we need to know.

I don't know if we're going to get an opportunity to know that.

Oh, we don't know.

I fly to York tomorrow.

You ain't going to be able to see the practice.

No, no, but I'm flying to New York tomorrow to do something with Malik Neighbors.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Yeah, Wednesday.

So, you know, I'm going to be nosy, Unc.

I have to go to the inner Miami, New York FC,

MLS game.

Right.

And what I'm doing is

for FIFA, well, EAFC-26, and Malik Neighbors is with me.

So, you know, I'm going to be nosy, Unc.

You know, I'm going to ask him.

I'm going to ask, what do you think the problem is?

Earlier today, Darius Slayton preached patience with Jackson Dart whenever the Giants decide to turn him over to starting quarterback.

He's talented.

He's shown himself to be able to learn fast.

I think he's capable of being a good NFL quarterback.

If we have a lackluster performance, give him some time.

Give him some grace.

Don't show up and boo him in a game or two if he doesn't do well.

I expect him to do well, but I'm just saying, it might not.

Give him time to grow.

Give us time to jail.

Let him be an NFL quarterback.

Let him figure it out

what that is.

Give him a chance to become a good quarterback.

That's something that I feel Daniel Jones probably didn't get a chance to become a good NFL quarterback, which is something Jackson Dart, which is something that I hope Jackson Dart will get a chance to do if he does get the opportunity to play.

Man, look here, bro.

It's always going to be a lot of people.

Just, Ocho, people are not patient anymore.

Those days are over when you could get a quarterback.

Ocho, you groom him.

Think about it.

Steve Young sat behind Joe Montana

87, 88, 89, 90, 91 for five years.

Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Farr for three years.

Yeah.

That ain't happening no more.

It's not.

It's too much money involved.

Right.

Because you take a guy in the first round, Ocho's contract fully guaranteed.

So you done guaranteed the guy 20 million.

Now by the third year, I got to make a decision am i about to give this guy 300 million yeah

so i got to i've got to find out think about it jordan love jordan love saw for two years the third year after he played his third year oh they got to break him off yeah

i mean he so the days of sitting ocho where we could sit because the quarterbacks weren't making that kind of money money exactly exactly now money's done coming to play bro i hey you got to get out there and learn you got to learn on the job throw it throw him out there how to do it hey you got you got to learn on on the job.
