Shannon Sharpe reacts to Sean Payton crushing the Saints on ‘TNF’

Former Denver Broncos tight end and Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe teamed up with former All-Pro wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson to break down the Broncos’ 33-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 7.

After talking about the injury-depleted Saints team that had 17 players on the injury report going into the game, Johnson turned his attention to the Broncos and the passing game.

“I would like to see if the Broncos are playing a better team, I would like to see them getting the passing game going a little bit more,” said Johnson. “Courtland Sutton, you gotta get him involved. He’s making too much money to be out there getting cardio in.” Sutton finished Week 7 without a single target.

Johnson then went on to praise Denver rookie quarterback Bo Nix. “I like Bo Nix,” said Johnson. “Bo Nix got moxie. I don’t even know what moxie mean!”

Sharpe also commented on the rookie. “(Nix) has got some athleticism,” said the Hall of Famer. “He can run, needs to work on his accuracy, but you can do a lot of things with him.”

You can view the entire eight-minute exchange between the Ochocinco and Sharpe below.

The Broncos look to continue their momentum against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8.
