Nightcap Part 2: Unc, Ocho & Iso react to Miami Dolphins are underdogs in every game + Christian Gonzalez waiting to get signed

Shannon Sharpe (0:00)

The Miami Dolphins are underdogs in all 17 of their games this season. The Dolphins projected win total for 2026, four and a half games. The early marks have now have them selected number one in 2027 Jordan Brooks says, I don't think there's one outlet on social media, anybody that got to speak with anything. Not that it matters, but that's just what it is. I don't think any of our opponents respect us, so 100% underdog mindset, and I think that's always the best position to be in.

Ocho, how many waiting for your guppies?

Chad Johnson (0:30)

I say honestly, I'm going to be honest with you, Uncle Joe, Chad, I'm going to be honest with y'all. You have to understand, the Dolphins have done a complete overhaul. Complete overhaul. We started from scratch. So obviously, I'm hoping to give the coach.

Shannon Sharpe (0:43)

Y'all didn't even start from scratch. Y'all got to go buy the ingredients.

Chad Johnson (0:46)

Yep.

That's a good way to put it. Now, this is the good thing though, Unc. What's that? Even though we got to go buy the ingredients, the foundation is set. We got our quarterback. We got a quarterback. We got some good young receivers, but they have to play miles ahead of how good they may feel they are.

Shannon Sharpe (1:04)

You definitely got to play above their pay grade, Ocho.

Chad Johnson (1:07)

You got to. You got to play like them dogs out there. So it's going to be a rough season. Defense is going to have to play well. I know Brooks is obviously our leader. He's our captain on defense, but it's going to be tough. I like that he said, it's good for us to be the underdogs because now we have to surprise everybody else.

We got to surprise everybody else.

Shannon Sharpe (1:26)

I got y'all winning two games, Ocho.

Chad Johnson (1:28)

God damn, Joe, I was going to say, I was going to say four. Maybe five. Maybe five.

Shannon Sharpe (1:34)

Five?

Chad Johnson (1:36)

Yeah, I got five. I got five. If we do get the number one pick, we're going to get Jeremiah Smith.

Shannon Sharpe (1:41)

Maybe five in two years. Yeah, that was my next question. You want Jeremiah Smith or you want Arch Manny?

Chad Johnson (1:50)

Jeremiah Smith.

Shannon Sharpe (1:56)

Who you want, Augie, do you mind me, who you get?

It's going to be hard because I took a quarterback. I mean, I just played a quarterback. I got a quarterback on a three-year deal. The question is, it's going to be very interesting to see how well he plays. If he plays well, I think they do go, I think they take Jeremiah Smith. But boy, you got to think about it, Ocho. We had had, it ain't like two wide receivers have ever gone number one overall.

Chad Johnson (2:20)

Yeah.

Shannon Sharpe (2:20)

1984 and 1996

Chad Johnson (2:22)

Kishon.

Shannon Sharpe (2:23)

Irvin Fry with number one in 84 and Kishon with number one in 96

Chad Johnson (2:26)

Yeah.

Shannon Sharpe (2:27)

Hey, Jeremiah, he going to be next.

Chad Johnson (2:31)

Hey, Joe, and in the chat, I think the chat will also agree with me as well.

If you take last year's draft, if Jeremiah was coming out last year, he can go on top three. Yeah. If Jeremiah was coming out-

Shannon Sharpe (2:43)

He's definitely been the first receiver taken. Yeah, absolutely.

So wherever the first receiver went, I don't think he's going, he ain't going number one overall. He ain't going in front of Mendoza. Raiders need a quarterback.

Chad Johnson (2:53)

Right, right.

Shannon Sharpe (2:54)

They need a receiver too, but I ain't taking no receiver when I ain't got nobody to give him the damn ball.

Chad Johnson (2:58)

You're right. But I'm just saying he's that good.

Shannon Sharpe (3:00)

Yeah, for sure.

Chad Johnson (3:01)

I think even in his freshman year, if he was allowed to come out. Joe, I still would have been the top three pick. Yeah. That's how good he's been. So now with him in his junior year, off to a great start already.

Man, come on, man.

That's a no brainer to me, especially if you just got Malik Willis. It's a no brainer.

Shannon Sharpe (3:20)

It's going to be interesting to see what the Dolphins do. Kyle Shanahan speaking from Australia, will ask for injury updates. Take a listen to what Kyle had to say.

Is Eric coming back from injuries?

Joe Johnson (3:35)

Because we're technically in the future.

Shannon Sharpe (3:39)

From where we're from, Rams are in the present.
