Best of NFL Week 1 Part 2: Derrick Henry's chances at RUSHING RECORD + Myles Garrett OUT FOR WEEKS + Jim Harbaugh EARLY REGRET + Carson Wentz's $100K INCENTIVES

Shannon Sharpe (0:05)

Oh, now they want to listen to O'Shea. After Chargers took a surprise in L, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jim Harbaugh says, he wishes he played his starters more in the preseason. Take a listen to this.

Chad Johnson (0:18)

Yeah, I mean, we made some preseason type of mistakes, you know, and, you know, I, now in retrospect, you know, we should have played our guys a little bit more in the preseason and give them those reps, but those game-like reps. So, yeah, the onward and attack in all areas to find improvement.

Joe Johnson (0:56)

You said it, boy. You said it.

Shannon Sharpe (0:59)

Y'all keep on doing it like y'all doing it. And the pillars are gonna keep happening. The poor tackling, the poor play leading in. And then before you know it, you get on the right track, you done lost two or three games. Yep.

Now you're on an uphill climb all season. Uphill battle. I'm with you. Hey, that same thing I've been asking y'all all season, especially in the preseason. Hey man, how can you catch a rhythm? How can you find tune, timing, and being on the one accord with your receivers? Or, you know what I mean? Like, I don't think that's something you could just, obviously, cause y'all been together for quite some time, meaning a few years, you think you could just go out and man, it takes time, bro. It takes time. That's why we see a lot of this when I talk about Russ versus Russ. I know the scoring is high, but man, listen, it's been, I'm like Harbaugh, bro. It's been some bonehead mistakes that you probably could alleviate if you had that rhythm and time throughout the preseason. Damn, you ain't got to play the whole half, the whole game, Ocho, but you got to give yourself a few series just to get out there and see what it feels like. You know what I mean? Well, you're seeing all these missed tackles, you're seeing all these blown coverage. Yeah. That's why the scoring up. And you're also seeing penalties.

Even though tonight didn't seem to be that didn't have that many penalties, how many penalties?

Yeah, both teams had seven, 14, Broncos seven for 52, Chiefs seven for 60

Two turnovers from the Broncos? No, I just don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get it. Because they make, oh, these players are making so much money. Well, they was making, you have to look at the times. They was making a lot of money back then for the time that it was in. Guess what? 20 years from now, Ocho, they're gonna look back, DB's gonna be making $50 million a year, $60 million a year. Somebody's gonna be making $100 million a year. It's just the way it is. It's called inflation.

Man, you can buy your car, you used to buy a car, $1,500, brand new car, right off the spank, it's brand new, right off the lot, drive it off the floor. Get you a nice, get you a nice three bedroom brick house. Yeah. 30,000. Yeah. Time change.

Joe Johnson (3:40)

Hey, I need to...

Shannon Sharpe (3:42)

What you need?

Joe Johnson (3:44)

I'm looking at my fantasy lineup. I got Burrow.

I got Jeremiah Love. Obviously, I think he's gonna play more, even though he scored. I got Bucky Irvin. I got, you know, I got George Pickens. I got Kyle Pitts. He was a doughnut in almost every category, so I know they're gonna feed him this week coming up. Lad McConkey. Hey, that's my dude. I got Mike Evans. Jalen Hertz.

I need to do something with my running backs, man. I got Travis Kelsey.

Shannon Sharpe (4:17)

They ain't got nothing to do with me.

Joe Johnson (4:18)

I got Mike Washington, man. I need to... I got Tony Paula.

Shannon Sharpe (4:26)

What did you say? Oh, you thought you had something.

Paula's a bounce back. He normally plays well.

Joe Johnson (4:34)

Damn. I'm gonna be all right though. Cause you know-

Shannon Sharpe (4:38)

The cost of living goes up. People think, well, look at all the money they making, but you gotta look at what the cost of living is. You ain't buying no car for no $1,500, not no brand new one.

Joe Johnson (4:48)

You can get you a lemon for $1,500. Yeah. You know, it gonna break down in three days.

Shannon Sharpe (4:56)

Good luck. Yeah. So this notion, because the guys play so much, we got to be, excuse me, because the guys are paid so much, you can't play them in the pre- If that's the case, why you play them in the regular season and they're paying so much, you might get hurt. It's football.
