The Saints defeated the Giants by the score of 34 to 27 This was a wild one. The Saints were up 34-10 with seven minutes left in the ball game. John Harbaugh had enough of the Jameis Winston experience. He benched Jameis after throwing two picks. JJ. McCarthy came in the game, and immediately, in the words of Tom Brady, threw a meatball sub with extra meatballs.
But he ended the game 11 for 21, 269, a touchdown and a pick. Guys, did JJ show you enough that he potentially could be the guy in New York?
Chad Johnson (0:43)
Absolutely not. Hell no.
Shannon Sharpe (0:46)
What? Ocho, did you see what that man did in that fourth quarter?
Chad Johnson (0:51)
Man, Joe, don't do that, Joe.
Don't do that. Ocho, Ocho. We're not going to do, that's fool's gold. That small sample size, are you going in there when there's no pressure on you, whether you win or lose, and you're going to use that as a measuring stick to him being the starter now over James?
Shannon Sharpe (1:10)
If he'd have went in there, Ocho, and looked like some stir fry, then we'd have been talking crazy about the young man. The boy went in there and balled out, man. Come on, don't do JJ like that, man. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Chad Johnson (1:20)
So he went in there and balled out, so now you want to be the starter for the New York Giants?
Shannon Sharpe (1:23)
I think he's going to be the starter. Ocho, Ocho, Jamis is a great veteran guy, a great locker room guy. Hell, I want my star in quarterback, that's who I want his back up to be. He's going to motivate you. He's great for the locker room. Go get you some great speeches, okay?
But man, come on, man, stop playing. He good for about two games.
Chad Johnson (1:43)
Hello.
Shannon Sharpe (1:44)
After that-
Chad Johnson (1:45)
It's the same JJ. McCarthur we've seen with Minnesota that was stinking it up all last year. It's the same one we talk about?
Shannon Sharpe (1:50)
He learned from that.
He learned from that, Ocho. He learned from that.
Chad Johnson (1:54)
Okay, all right. You know what?
Shannon Sharpe (1:55)
There you go.
Chad Johnson (2:00)
Let him start.
Shannon Sharpe (2:01)
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I got in trouble with my last ex. I learned from that relationship. So when I get to this new relationship, I'm going to be a totally different player, man. I ain't coming in after midnight, Ocho. I'm coming in at 11.59. I ain't coming in after midnight.
Chad Johnson (2:18)
Okay. Yeah.
Hey, now I hear both of y'all vouching for it, right? Both of y'all vouching for it? Ocho. Hold on, hold on. I get y'all vouching for Cam Scadabou getting benched too, huh?
Shannon Sharpe (2:28)
Hey, now I ain't vouching for him now. What happened? What did he do? What young players, what happens when you fumble the ball and you turn?
What happens, Ocho?
Chad Johnson (2:38)
You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.
Shannon Sharpe (2:41)
Are you surprised?
Scadabou say, I knew, hey, I made a mistake. I'm paying for my stakes, but my stakes, when coach called my number, I just got to make sure I'm ready. All things being equal. We know what we got with Jameis Winston. Jameis Winston is not a consistent starter in the league. Remember he was in Cleveland? When he was in Cleveland, did he have an opportunity to start in Cleveland?
Chad Johnson (3:04)
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe (3:05)
What happened, Ocho?
Chad Johnson (3:09)
Hey, we know what happened, Unc. I'm just talking about, I'm just saying, Bobby Bosh and behind him ain't no god damn better. Cause what happened when he was with Minnesota?
Shannon Sharpe (3:16)
You see?
Chad Johnson (3:17)
Huh?
Shannon Sharpe (3:17)
What we talking about? Ocho, I think the thing is-
Chad Johnson (3:21)
You forget the offense he just came from?
Shannon Sharpe (3:23)
Yes.
Chad Johnson (3:24)
Do you see the offense over here in New York?
Shannon Sharpe (3:27)
Yes.
Chad Johnson (3:28)
Okay, we got Likely, we got Malik Neighbors.
Shannon Sharpe (3:31)
Yes, Malik Neighbors played out of his mind 12 for a buck 65
Chad Johnson (3:34)
But the young bull crazy coming off that ACL injury. I don't know, he from LSU, so I expect that. I ain't even talk about that. That's expected from anybody that's wore that yellow and purple.
Shannon Sharpe (3:47)
Hey, how are you speaking down on JJ McCracken?
SPEAKER_6 (3:51)
What do you mean, how have you seen him play?
