Their booth was right next to their our 32 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: radio booth, and I talked to Kevin for a little 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: bit and he said, yeah, whoever was to be there 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: couldn't make it. He lives in Omaha, about three and 35 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: a half hour drive, so he drove that and then 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: flowed San Francisco and did the San Francisco and Arizona 37 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: game for Fox because he's replacing Tom Brennaman on the 38 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Fox TV broadcast.

As we give 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: you creaming the crowd players from Kansas City, and we 46 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: don't spend too much time on that. We spend time 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: looking forward to Baltimore, and then we also looked back 48 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: a little bit for the last time that Baltimore was 49 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: here to play the Ravens at NARG Stadium. It felt 50 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: like for a while we were playing the Ravens every 51 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: single year. It felt like, but then you look up 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: and you go, man, yeah, we played him in nineteen 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: and we played him seventeen, but both of those are Baltimore. 54 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: We haven't faced the Ravens at home since twenty fourteen. 55 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: Against NFC teams, we go every eight year seen a team. 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: We've gone six seasons without seeing the Ravens at Energy Stadium, 57 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: and Drew and I discussed that on our In the 58 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: Lab podcast, so hopefully you will want to check that out. 59 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: So let's get the show kicked off and do it 60 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: with one of my favorite segments and that is check 61 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: sans audio jute backs. I can't sing, but I try. 62 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to. I'd like to think that I could sing, 63 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: but I really can't, so I won't. So let's go 64 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: to the podium and let's hear from David Johnson, who 65 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: obviously joined the team this being his first game. That 66 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: was his first game on Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs, 67 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 1: and he said, you know what, man, I felt really good. 68 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: I felt great. Well, I felt great. I felt great 69 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: being out there, and our line did a great job 70 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: blocking for me. Made my job a lot easier. And 71 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: moving forward, I can't wait to get going. And really 72 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: I just build on it. Breaking more tackles, I think 73 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: to myself, I still had a couple more yards I 74 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: left on the field, and I just got to improve 75 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: on that aspect. And then just in the passing game, 76 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: a couple of routes I wish I could have got 77 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: back where de Shan was looking for me, and I 78 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 1: just ran the wrong route. So continue to correct those 79 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: mistakes and building from that. Well, that was such good 80 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: news to hear how good David felt during the game. 81 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: So I was. I was pretty excited about what he 82 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: was able to do, and I felt like he played 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: pretty well. He was asked how it felt to have 84 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: a good game in your first one for your team. 85 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: We didn't get to win, so it's not as enjoyable 86 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: as I wish it could have been. And I felt 87 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: like I said, I definitely could have helped us a 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: little bit more, but it did feel good and being 89 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: out there and running the ball well. And I didn't 90 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: really did even get that many carries um just because 91 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: the situation, and so I felt like for me, I 92 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: was very pleased with it just the beginning. This is 93 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: the first game, really no Preseson games, the first game 94 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: where we actually got to go out there and run 95 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: the ball with tackling and stuff. So I was very 96 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: um pleased. And I think for me, I think there's 97 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: a lot that we can definitely build on, especially for myself, 98 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: and I feel like it's definitely a positive thing. Though 99 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: from last week, I would imagine after the game David 100 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: was pretty sore. Is the first time that he really 101 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: had been tackled all season long. With the preseason games 102 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: they didn't tackle full on in practice. How did it 103 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: feel going in this game with the lack of tackling 104 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and how did you feel as a 105 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: game were on tackling since there's no Preseson games and 106 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what the other teams did another d 107 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: did as far as they tackled or had a screaming 108 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: or anything. But just for me watching games, not just 109 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: hard but games around the league this weekend, I can 110 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: tell that you know tackling. They kind of just have 111 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: to get you back into the groove of things and 112 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: get callous to tackling against. Sunday's game coming up against 113 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens is a big one, There's no question 114 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: about that. Trying to get to one and one and 115 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: even the record. It's the first game at home. Last year, 116 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: the Ravens sort of had their way with you in 117 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: a forty one to seven win. David Johnson has the 118 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: same sort of feeling that I do about this one. 119 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: This one is a tremendous measuring stick sort of game 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: for your Texas. I think the league definitely frontloaded the 121 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: schedules and we have a pretty tough schedule, like you said, 122 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: going against the defending champion champions and then against the Ravens, 123 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: who's always been up there with Lamar in the playoffs, 124 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: and stuff, So I think, you know, it's going to 125 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: be a good measurement for our team. But I think 126 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: we have a great team. I know we have a 127 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: great team. Just gotta correct little things For me as well. 128 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff to improve on. And 129 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: like you said, it is my first last game, in 130 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: my first real game, no preseason, so I still have 131 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: a lot to improvement. All right, let's move the jukebox 132 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: over to eighty one three. Yeah, Houston Texans number thirteen. 133 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: That would be Brandon Cooks. He went to the mic 134 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: as well this week, and obviously it was his first 135 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: game playing for the Texans, and he talked about how 136 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: he felt after the sixty minute contest against the Chiefs. 137 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: I feel good. I think there is a lot to 138 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: build on. I think at the end of the day, 139 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: when you come back to it and you look at 140 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: the films in this league, it's all about the little details, 141 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: and you know, those are the things that we just 142 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: got to get back to, you know, this week, and 143 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: I think that's what we're doing. We started off today 144 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: having a great day. We just gotta continue to build 145 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: on it. Now. This was obviously Brandon's first opportunity to 146 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: play for the Texans, and I think we expect it 147 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: to do a little bit more offensively, and it really 148 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: got going in that fourth quarter. Here's where Brandon had 149 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: to say about this offense after the night was said 150 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: and done, details, little details, and as as a whole, 151 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: all of us, myself included, you just got to get 152 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: back to the details and the fundamentals and the basics. 153 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: You know. It's funny. You can talk all you want 154 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: about scheme this and all the different things you need 155 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: to read and do this, and your mic points are this, 156 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: and sometimes and a lot of times, this game and 157 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: every other sport comes down to have you mastered the fundamentals. 158 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: Have you mastered the little details, as Brandon put it, 159 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: Have you mastered those minute details. Do that and you'll 160 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: win games. It's as simple as that. Okay, let's get 161 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: to our final note here. Beyond Texans Audio Jukebox, a 162 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: couple of ter moves imachinations over the last few days, 163 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: Colly Waring goes to, I R I saw that news 164 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: in my heart just sank. Oh my goodness. So hopefully 165 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: it's a short stint and Kylie can get back and 166 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: get rolling. That means that Fararell Brown who was with 167 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: the Browns.

I'll 304 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: get to that in a minute, but first, let's let's 305 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: talk about this off season. Because we saw what the 306 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: Ravens were capable of last year, there were a lot 307 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: of high expectations for them heading into the playoffs. They 308 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: get the first run by then obviously they lose to 309 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: the Titans. What was the offseason like for Lamar Jackson, 310 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: for this Ravens team, What was sort of the attitude 311 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: surrounding the team heading into twenty twenty. Yeah, that one 312 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: took a little while for them to get over. I mean, 313 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: they had passed every test during the regular to their season, 314 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: won the you know, they were two and two at 315 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: one point, so they won fourteen straight games to close 316 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: the regular season, set all sorts of team in league 317 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: records in the process. Had waited a long time to 318 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: win that AFC North and get the buy and the 319 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: home field playoff game, and they just didn't show up. 320 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: I mean, they were beaten by a Titans team that 321 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: was much better that day. You know, outplayed, outcoached, out, 322 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: physical out pretty much everything, and you know, there's not 323 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: a lot to do you can do to make excuses. 324 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: They just got it taken to them and they got 325 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: beat on their home field. And then it was a 326 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: bitter pill to swallow, especially since they patterned them said, 327 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, they patterned themselves as a real physical, you know, 328 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: set the tone team. And the fact is the Titans 329 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: came in and did that to them on their home field. 330 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: So it was a long couple months. And then obviously 331 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: we had the quarantine and all that Lamar Jackson was 332 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: in Florida didn't get the throat of his receivers as 333 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: much as he would have liked. And uh, but you know, 334 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: they came back Sunday and they looked like they were prepared. 335 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: You know, it looked like a pretty prepared team that 336 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: did what they were supposed to do in the limited time. 337 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: And you know that's the thing, you know, Texans, We're 338 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: talking about that for a while with Deshaan Watson. You know, 339 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: how long is the window open when you have a 340 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: quarterback on his rookie deal And Lamar Jackson's on his 341 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: rookie deal now, which allows him to keep a pretty 342 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: deep roster. So I think there's definitely a sense of 343 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: urgency heading into this year, especially after losing two straight 344 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: playoff games in their home field and back to back years. Well, 345 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: I remember the MVP chance last year when the Texans 346 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: were up at MT Stadium, and this year, Lamar Jackson 347 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: looks just as good as as advertised, if not better 348 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: heading into year three. Let's get into this week's Next 349 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: Gen stap presented by AWS. Lamar Jackson had the best 350 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: passer rating of all qbs that played in Week one one, 351 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: fifty two point one. That's almost a perfect pass rating. 352 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: He was ahead of Russell Wilson and Gardner Minshew. Both 353 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks also put up big, big numbers. So 354 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: let's talk about Lamar Jackson now heading into year three 355 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: after seeing that Week one performance. I know it's early, 356 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: but is he better than he was even last year? 357 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: Are we going to see even more passing from Lamar 358 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: Jackson than running? Yeah? Well, I think two things. One, 359 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: he called this mostly a mental off season for himself. Um. 360 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: He wanted to learn the nuances of the quarterback quarterback 361 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: position better. He wanted to study the Ravens offense, study 362 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: what defenses were doing to him. He said he watched 363 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: a ton of film this offseason. You know, he was 364 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: inside for most of it and really tried to use 365 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: the time to study his own game and get better 366 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. You know, the athletic tools are 367 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: going to be there, and I think we saw that Sunday. 368 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: He just he just looked very He just looked very 369 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: comfortable and confident and everything he you know, he did. 370 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: And now you know, he was only the second unanimous 371 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: MVP in league history last year, so it's gonna be 372 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: tough to go up in terms of performance. But if 373 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: you just look at just how he conducted himself, how 374 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: he ran the game. Um, you know, he's at his 375 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: best when he's doing some improvising and running around a 376 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: little bit, but he just so in control of everything. 377 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: And I think that was the biggest takeaway, just a 378 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: command he had of the offense and everything he's doing. 379 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: But in your other part of your questions, very true. 380 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: You know, the question still exists with the Ravens. If 381 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: you stop the running game, or if you get an 382 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: early lead on them, can they beat you? You know, 383 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: can they come back? Are they prolific enough in the 384 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: passing game to come back and win? Especially in a 385 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: big game and the Titans lost further. You know, you know, 386 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: it made the skeptics even more confident that they can't. 387 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: But the Ravens have tried to evolve a little offensively. 388 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: They want to you know, throw the ball a little more, 389 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: challenge teams more down fields and Lamar Jackson. You know, 390 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: so far, so good. They threw a ton down field 391 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: against the Browns. A part of that was because the 392 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: Browns secondary was kind of depleted. But I think you 393 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: will see them try to establish the past more and 394 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: take more big shots down the field. And that's definitely 395 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: something they spent a lot of time in the summer 396 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: when they got together working on them. Well, a lot 397 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: of those downfield shots were very very much due to 398 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: the fact that Hollywood Brown was out there on the field. 399 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: What's the buzz been surrounding him this offseason? I feel 400 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: like even I heard down here and he's been about 401 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: his off season and all the workouts that he did 402 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: and how he's healthy again. How does that change what 403 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: he's able to do this year, what he was able 404 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: to do in the off season. The yeah, in Baltimore, 405 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: the quest to have like a young number one type 406 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: receiver in his prime it's gone on forever. I mean, 407 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: they've never really had that guy. You know, Tory Smith 408 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: had a good run, but all their receivers have mostly 409 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: been veteran guys that they've picked up later in their careers. 410 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: The Steve Smith's and the Ankwon Bolden's and the Derek Mason's. 411 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: This is a homegrown guy that they really believe in. 412 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: And I think the biggest key for Marquise Brown was 413 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: just healthy. I mean last year, you look at his 414 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: rookie numbers, pretty good, you know, decent, but you know, 415 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: he really didn't practice much. He didn't have bunch of 416 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: a training camp, and he has threw in his foot. 417 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: He was still getting over foot surgery, and he was 418 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: probably at fifty percent at best. So when you when 419 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: you think of those things and then you look at 420 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: his numbers, you're like, okay, you know that's pretty good. 421 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: But this offseason he was healthier. I mean there was 422 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: times last year where his weight got as low as 423 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: like one sixty five to play receiver in the NFL. 424 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: So he put on more weight and more muscle, and 425 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: he hasn't really lost any speed. And you know, he 426 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: had over one hundred yards receiving in the first half 427 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: Sunday that Ravens didn't throw the ball a ton after that, 428 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: but he definitely seems like he could be emerging as 429 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: the type of number one receiver that they've long tried 430 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: to develop. Well, we obviously have seen what Mark Andrews 431 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: can do. The texansaw up closed last year. He was 432 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: four for four seventy five yards a touchdown, and he 433 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: delivered in Week one with two touchdowns. What makes that 434 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: tight end so hard to cover for opposing defenses Just, 435 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: first of all, it's very good hands. I mean, it's 436 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: type of situation where Lamar Jackson never feels like he's covered, 437 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: even when he does have a guy around him. Jackson 438 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: feels like his rapport with Andrews and the chemistry he 439 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: has is good enough where if Jackson gets the ball 440 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: in certains place, it's going to be caught, and more 441 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: often than not, that's been the result. There's a play 442 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: against the Browns where there's no reason he should have 443 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: thrown the ball, and yet it was a big third 444 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: down conversion they picked up twenty something yards. But the 445 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: other thing is Andrews just says a really he doesn't 446 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: really wow you with his speed and his physicality or 447 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: any of that. He's just one of these guys as 448 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: a really good idea and how to run routes and 449 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: how to get open and where to be when the 450 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: quarterback needs him, and and Lamar Jackson trusts him implicitly, 451 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: and you know, and there is a motivated guy. He 452 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: talked all offseason how he wants to kind of join 453 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: that group of the Kittles and you know, and and 454 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: the Travis Kelsey's and become one of the top tight 455 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: ends in the league. He led him all. He led 456 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: all tight ends and touchdowns last Jerry Ardy has to 457 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: this year. So I think he's another ascending player that 458 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: you're going to see as kind of as long as 459 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: he stays healthy. It's kind of a perennial Pro Bowl 460 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: play there. Well, the Texans are going to face Klais Campbell, 461 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: a guy that they're very familiar with from his days 462 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: with Jacksonville. A big move for the Ravens this offseason 463 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: to get him on their defense. How does he make 464 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: an impact? How does he change things? Obviously Ravens love 465 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: to blitz, and they'll they'll get to do that with Calais, 466 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: But how has he fit in so far with that 467 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,239 Speaker 1: Ravens defense. Oh he's fitting great. You know, first of all, 468 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint. I mean we're talking about the 469 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: Walter Payton Man of the Year, So just from a 470 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: professional class standpoint, during a very difficult offseason, he was 471 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: a great guy to have around, you know, already become 472 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: a leader in the room. From a football standpoint, you know, 473 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens reputation has always been this up tempo, get 474 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: after the quarterback defense. But kind of the reality is, 475 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: like last year they blitzed more than any team in 476 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: NFL history because they really couldn't generate a pass rush 477 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: with the front four, you know, and they haven't had 478 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: kind of that that interior pass rusher that you know 479 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: gets in early. And I'm not talking about edge guy 480 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: like a SUGS, but I'm talking about that interior guy. 481 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: And and plays Campbell's obviously that guy. So he should 482 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: really upgrade, really help him with the pass rush. Got 483 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: his hands. I mean think three balls already in the 484 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: week one and one of them was intercepted, you know, 485 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: So he's a guy that opposing teams have to deal with, 486 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, when the Ravens have kind of lacked that 487 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: interior pass rushing presence. One thing that the Browns did 488 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: not struggle with last week in their loss was running 489 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: the ball. They were able to run the ball one 490 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: hundred thirty eight yards on the ground. How much of 491 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: a concern is that for this Ravens defense moving forward? Yeah, 492 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: well they better figure it out, because man, was I 493 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: impressed with Johnson, you know, I think you have to 494 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: feel good for him too, with all the stuff said 495 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: about that deal and all that. For him to come 496 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: out and look like that, that's that's a very impressive. Um. 497 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: You look very much like he did in you know, 498 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: in Arizona all those years before the injury. But the 499 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: Ravens have always probably themselves on stopping the run. Didn't 500 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: do it at times last year, and they sort of 501 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: revamped that whole defensive front seven. I mean, there's four 502 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: new starters in there, but two of the guys they're 503 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: two starting inside linebackers or rookies. So you know you're 504 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: gonna get a learning curve there. I mean, those guys 505 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: are gonna give up some plays, miss some assignments. Patrick 506 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: Queen Emilie Harrison are both talented players, but I think 507 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: they understand, you know that they're gonna make some mistakes 508 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: and they're just gonna have to play through them. And 509 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: we saw the we saw Harrison bust assignment on one 510 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: of the I think it was a thirty yard run 511 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: by Chubb, you know, and that that's gonna be there's 512 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: gonna give up some yards, but they are pretty stout 513 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: up front and they you know, they the Browns also 514 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: have two very good backpacks, so that there's no shaming 515 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: giving up some yards to them. But that's something they're 516 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to get solidified because when their defense was 517 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: vulnerable last year, it was when they were allowing teams 518 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: to run up. Well. That Ravens secondary is something that 519 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: they're even talking about down here in Houston already here 520 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: in week two. How do you foresee them matching up? 521 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: They forced three turnovers last week against the Browns, two 522 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: in the first two possessions. But this week they're going 523 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: to go up against some speedy Whiteouts and Will Fuller, 524 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, and Brandon Cooks. What do you think of 525 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: those matchups this week for the Ravens secondary. Yeah, I 526 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: think it's definitely a good matchup, and you know, the Ravens, 527 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: unlike other teams, Matt Matthew Judon's on the franchise tag, 528 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: but the Ravens have spent a lot of assets on 529 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: building that secondary. You know, Mark Marcus Peters as they 530 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: traded for and then paid. Obviously, we all know what 531 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: happened to Earl Thomas that that kind of went belly up. 532 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: They've are the other safety they've extended. You know, Marlon 533 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: Humphrey's a first round pick who's about to get paid. 534 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: So they kind of built that defense from the back 535 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: to the front, and they like that. They like, you know, 536 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: their options in any matchup. I mean, they have four 537 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: cornerbacks who they feel comfortable mark and the other teams 538 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: top receiver. I throw Tavon Young, who's their slot guy, 539 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: and Jimmy Smith, who's been their long time number one 540 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: corner is now their number four. I throw those two 541 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: in the mix too, So you know, with the speed 542 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: the Texans have, and you know, I love Deshaun Watson 543 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: when he played in Baltimore last year, I had seen 544 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: him struggle too much like that, So I think they 545 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: realize that there's no way that's going to happen another 546 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: time against them, So they're definitely gonna have to be 547 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: sharp and there no their assignments and you know, make 548 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: sure those guys don't get behind him because their safety 549 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: group is pretty young and inexperienced. Browns didn't really take 550 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: any shots deep, which surprised me. I don't think the 551 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: Texans will make that same mistake. I think they'll try 552 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: to step challenge the Ravens young safeties. All right, Jeff, 553 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: what storylines are you working on for the Ravens this week? Well, 554 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: one is, you know, it's interesting with the texts, the 555 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: kind of the parallels. You know, the Texans signed to 556 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson to a long term deal. They signed Laramie 557 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: Tunsel not to too long ago, to a long term deal. 558 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: They have a couple other really you know, quality veterans 559 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: that they've locked up, and the Ravens are sort of 560 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to, uh, you know, follow Stuite with similar things. Obviously, 561 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's gonna get paid and it's gonna be pretty soon. Um, 562 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're left tackle. Ronnie Stanley is another 563 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna, you know, may challenge Tonsils the highest 564 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: paid tack in the league. So I was gonna look 565 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: a little bit at you know, how they're gonna have 566 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: to follow on the Texans footsteps a little bit, and 567 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: how the Texans have managed these contracts and prioritize keeping 568 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: sort of got you know, keeping some guys, and that's 569 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: sort of interesting. And another thing is, you know, just 570 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: given where the with the text and some of the 571 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: Texans strengths, obviously you can't talk with them without JJ watt. Um. 572 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 1: The Ravens struggled a little on their offensive line and 573 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: they expected that. Um, you have a rookie starting at 574 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: right guard who played tackle in college and he first 575 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: game the NFL. He's not only starting, he's playing a 576 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: different position. That's a question mark their center towards ACL, 577 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: MCL and PCL nine and a half months ago, and 578 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: yet he's starting already, so he's not back to full strength. 579 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: So I think that's something I'd have to look at 580 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: this week to see how they're going to deal with 581 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: the Texans front and specifically why judging you know, with 582 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: the question marks they do have along the interior their 583 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: own offensive line. Tremendous stuff there from both deep and 584 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: Jeff's rebec covering the Ravens for the athletic and has 585 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: covered him I believe, what almost twenty years maybe more. 586 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: He does a tremendous job there in Baltimore covered net 587 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: football team and the NFL. Okay, when we get back, 588 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: it's good friend of the program, Kevin Coogler. Like, wait 589 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: a second, I know that name well. When we had 590 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: preseason games. Kevin was our preseason TV play by play guy, 591 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: one of the best guys you're gonna find.

Extra points Saturday nights at ten thirty or 687 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: after the late local news on ABC thirteen. Last Thursday night, 688 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: where we were in Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. 689 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: Right next door to our radio booth was the national 690 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: Westwood One broadcast. Kurt Warner was doing the broadcast and 691 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: it was supposed to be a different play by play man, 692 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: but because there was an emergency of some sort, somebody 693 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: had step in. Kevin Kugler, our pal, stepped in called 694 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: that game for Westwood One, and then went out and 695 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,439 Speaker 1: called a game. He is new to the Fox TV 696 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,240 Speaker 1: broadcast this year in a permanent capacity, and I love, 697 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: love seeing that for Kevin. He's one of the best 698 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: guys in the business, not only from a talent perspective, 699 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: but just as a human being. I absolutely love Kevin Coogler, 700 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 1: and he spent some time talking with our voice the 701 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: Texans Mark Vandomir Here the Men behind the Mike's Mark 702 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: Vandomir with Kevin Coogler joining us right now Texans Radio, 703 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: it's Kevin Kugler a Fox Sports NFL coverage Westwood one, 704 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: Big ten Network. You're still with the Big ten network, right, Kevin? 705 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: I assume so yes. Once the Big Ten back, I 706 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: think I'll still do basketball games and the life with 707 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: them as well. Oh, that's got to be so frustrating 708 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: because some of college football is playing and a lot 709 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: of college football is not playing, and it's very confusing 710 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: to me on a Saturday. How are you handling that 711 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: part of it. We'll get to the NFL at a moment. 712 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: You know. It's um, it's better this year now that 713 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: I have the Fox gig on the regular basis. Um, 714 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: so that helps. I wasn't sure before that came up 715 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: what I was going to be doing with my weekends 716 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: most weekends other than doing a game on Westwood one. 717 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: So I'm I, uh, it is. It's very odd though, 718 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's just strange to see the Big twelve 719 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: playing and the ACC playing, and soon the SEC will 720 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: be playing, and you know there's there's talk every day. 721 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 1: Is the Big ten gonna come back? Is the Big 722 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: ten gonna come back? I think they're going to UM. 723 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: I would guess October seventeen is when they will start 724 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: college football again. That's a guess. I have no nobody's 725 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: calling them tell me anything. That's just my guest based 726 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: on what I read. But it is it's it's it's 727 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 1: a head scratcher. I mean, you want to see him 728 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: try as if you're a Big ten fan, I think 729 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: you want to see him try like the SEC is 730 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: and the Big twelve is in the a SEC knowing 731 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna have hiccu because again, you're playing football in 732 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: a pandemic, right, So what has traveling been like for you? 733 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: Just a little lifestyle stuff here, and what is the 734 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: pandemic like right now? And you're in Omaha, right, so 735 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: what is it like where you live? And how was 736 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: it traveling to Kansas City and to San Francisco last week? 737 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: You know, the travel is okay. I mean there aren't 738 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: as many flights. That's one of the big challenges. It's 739 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: just there's just not as many flight options because the 740 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: airlines have cut so many routes down because they just 741 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: don't have the passenger load right now. So it's a 742 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: it's a little more of a patience thing. You have 743 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,919 Speaker 1: to take some flights that you know, maybe you didn't 744 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: want to take. When I came back from San Francisco, 745 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: I took a five am flight, not necessarily my first choice, 746 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,959 Speaker 1: but it was what was there, So that's what I took. 747 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: As far as where we are in Omaha, the pandemic is, 748 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: we're in pretty good shape here. It's it's just sort 749 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: of hovered at a certain level. It's never really spiked 750 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: to large levels. Now in Lincoln, where the University of 751 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: Nebraska is, they've had the same situation as most college campuses. 752 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 1: When they brought kids back, they had a spike in cases. 753 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't appear to have translated to hospitalizations or anything 754 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: like that fortunately yet, but it's the same situation there. 755 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: Their cases are up here in Omaha, we're in pretty 756 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: good shape. My kids are in school full time, one 757 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time in class. Football games are 758 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: happening up here with fans in the stands, so it's 759 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: it's as close to normal as we've felt in quite 760 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: a while. That's great news. Great news. Okay, so let's 761 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: talk about the Texans. You saw the Texans against Kansas City. 762 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 1: You know the Texans well, having done preseason games for 763 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,919 Speaker 1: a long time. Obviously we didn't have any this year, 764 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: and it was not a good performance on Thursday night. 765 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts moving forward as you look 766 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,720 Speaker 1: at the Texans team they're going to play the Ravens 767 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: this Sunday. Yeah, and I think there's there's obviously a 768 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: lot to build on, especially offensively. I mean, look, the 769 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: Shawn's awesome. I thought David Johnson did some very nice 770 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: things in his first game. He looked like he had 771 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: some of the burst and the cut built ability that 772 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: I have seen with him over the years in this league. 773 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: I was pleased for the Texans to see that he 774 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: looked as good as he did. You've just got to 775 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: find a little bit more consistency. And look, maybe I'm 776 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,240 Speaker 1: biased because I spend time doing preseason games with you guys, 777 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 1: but I have thought this all week and long, watching 778 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: games the game I call on Sunday, with San Francisco 779 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: and Arizona games we watched during the day on Sunday 780 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 1: and even Monday's games. I think the lack of a 781 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: preseason has hurt in certain areas and we've seen it 782 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: manifests itself in the first week of the NFL season. 783 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: Just some little things, routes that are run, some sharpness 784 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 1: that may have been found if you'd had a couple 785 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: of preseason games. And I think that's got to reflect 786 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: in what they do moving forward. I don't believe coaches 787 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: are going to say, you know, oh, we'd rather have 788 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: no preseason games. I think you need at least a 789 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: couple of those games to try to iron out some 790 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: of the things in actual a speed that we saw 791 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: out on the field this weekend, starting on Thursday night 792 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. What about the Chiefs. They look good 793 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: to go huh And they have that Clyde Edwards Hilaire 794 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: rookie doing what he did. They are a juggernaut right now. 795 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: It's as if Andy Reid needed another toy mark, I 796 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: mean to and then you give him a rookie like 797 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire and he goes out rushes for one 798 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight yards and looked like a combination 799 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: of power back and Barry Sanders all wrapped up into one. 800 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, his smoothness as a rookie was impressive. Their 801 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: offensive line I think is very good and it's going 802 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 1: to get better. Uh. I mean, and that you hardly 803 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: saw Tyreek Hill. I mean, that's a guy who's gonna 804 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,799 Speaker 1: be a huge weapon for them going forward. And they 805 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: didn't even need him as much. That's a that's a 806 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 1: very very good team. And we knew it would be 807 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: because the teams that brought back the most coming into 808 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: the season. I really felt like they had a bit 809 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: of an advantage, especially earlier this year, and Kansas City 810 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: really brought back everybody. And I think they got better 811 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: at running back with their first round draft pick. So 812 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 1: you take the Super Bowl Champison, you make them a 813 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 1: little bit better. It's not hard to figure out they're 814 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good in Week one that that's a 815 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: tough matchup for any team, especially the Texans going on 816 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: the road in Week one, with fans in the stands, 817 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: tailgating in the parking lot. It was that's as close 818 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: as we're gonna get to normal in the NFL for 819 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 1: a while too, is what we saw in Kansas City 820 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: with fans and tailgating on Thursday night, Kevin Coogler Fox 821 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: Sports NFL coverage, Westwood One, Big Ten Network joining US 822 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. Okay, so you went to San Francisco 823 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: or Santa Clara, I should be exact here. And first 824 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: of all, the air quality. We saw the images. What 825 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: was it like being there for the forty nine Ers 826 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: and Cardinals, just the fires and all of that backdrop. 827 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 1: It was it was a constant haze, just this low. 828 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: It was almost like you were in London with that 829 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: low lying fog that'll roll in if you're in the 830 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,919 Speaker 1: Bay Area on any normal day, it's that low lying fog. 831 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: But it wasn't fog. It was hayes. And when we 832 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 1: went to bed Saturday night, I thought it was at 833 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,919 Speaker 1: best of fifty fifty chance we were going to play 834 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: that game. There was a lot of talk coming out 835 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: late Saturday night that the game was not going to 836 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: be played because the air quality was going to spike. 837 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 1: The wind changed overnight, and we actually had a much 838 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: better situation than we had thought going in on Saturday night, 839 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: so we were very pleased with that. Obviously, got the 840 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: game in. I was glad to see the air better 841 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: because you know, you had guys like Tevin Coleman, who 842 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: has the sickle cell trait and is very hampered by 843 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: bad air. We weren't sure we were going to see him. 844 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: We did see him on the field. He played a 845 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 1: little for the San Francisco forty nine ers, but it 846 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: was a tough, tough test for these guys to play 847 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: in that air. They were able to do so, thankfully 848 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: from what I've heard, no dire consequences as a result 849 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: of it. But it was a touch and go moment 850 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: on Saturday night before the game. So they had no 851 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: fans right at Levi Stadium. No, what was it like 852 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: Kansas City? I thought, and correct me if or see 853 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: if you can corroborate with this. I thought it did 854 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: feel like a game. The fans are spread out, but 855 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,720 Speaker 1: at least there was a buzz there in the building. 856 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: The fans reacted. They made noise. Actually, I mean that 857 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: many people can make some noise. How was that compared 858 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: to Levi Stadium and no fans? I one hundred percent 859 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,479 Speaker 1: agree with your Kansas City assessment. When I walked out 860 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: of the car in the parking lot and you smell 861 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: the grills going and people are throwing the football around 862 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: in the parking lot, not as many as you would 863 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: have obviously on a normal day in Kansas City. But 864 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, this feels like football. This looks like football, 865 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,240 Speaker 1: This has that feel to it. Let's go get inside. 866 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: Fans in the stands. You know, they have the fake noise. 867 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: They did not make fake booing noise. So when the 868 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 1: officials were getting booed, that was the actual sound from 869 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: the crowd. And so I was it did feel like 870 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: a football game. Sunday was difficult. I mean, it's just 871 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: it is very different to not have fans in a building, 872 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 1: and it's different when you're calling a game as a 873 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: play by play guy. You know this, we feed off 874 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: the crowd and we use the crowd in our calls. 875 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: If the crowd is making a lot of racket, we 876 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: kind of stop what we're doing to let the crowd 877 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: in a little bit. And you know, there's a seventy 878 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: six yard touchdown pass to Raheem Moster. Normally on that, 879 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: especially on TV, I would stop and let the crowd in, 880 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: and the shots of the crowd, well, you can't do that. 881 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 1: So if you lay out, it sounds like you've just 882 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: decided not to talk for a while and or you've 883 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: fallen asleep or something. So it was a different situation 884 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: from that standpoint, and I think the game on the 885 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: field was good. I think the football weekend in empty 886 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: stadiums was good, and I think TV did a good 887 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: job of making sure that people watching at home didn't 888 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 1: feel like it was really weird. But it's just some 889 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: of the natural crowd reactions that you miss that you 890 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: can't make with fake crowd noise. And those are the 891 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: things that you notice when you watch an old game 892 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,479 Speaker 1: that you miss when you're watching games like this right now. Yeah, 893 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 1: I feel like seventy five. It is still legit when 894 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 1: you're watching the screen and you see the action on 895 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: the field and you don't see the stands and you 896 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 1: hear noise. It As a TV show, it still works. 897 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,760 Speaker 1: Is that your thought when you view this? I agree 898 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 1: with you. As a TV show, it works when you're 899 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: When I was sitting on the couch last night watching 900 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: Monday Night football, my thought was, Okay, this doesn't really 901 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: feel that different because other than a director going and 902 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: taking random crowd shots of some guy in the crowd 903 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 1: with a goofy hat or a sign or something like that, 904 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 1: you don't. You don't you're not doing that now because 905 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,800 Speaker 1: you don't have that crowd shot. But with the background noise, 906 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 1: and say you walk into the kitchen to get a 907 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,240 Speaker 1: beverage and the game's on behind you, It doesn't sound 908 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 1: any different to you. When you walk out of the room. 909 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: You hear the din of the crowd as not real 910 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 1: as that is. You hear the announcers, you hear the action, 911 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: the smack of the pads. All that's means to be 912 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,720 Speaker 1: real still because it is real, I mean, all that's happening, 913 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: and I don't as a TV show, I think in 914 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent works And look I'm biased. As a 915 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 1: radio broadcaster. I thought it worked on a radio too. 916 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I really do think doing it on the 917 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,320 Speaker 1: radio doesn't sound a whole lot different to somebody who's 918 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 1: driving around listening to the game. All right, what did 919 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: you think of the Cardinals? Because that was an impressive 920 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: win on the road, And I still think being the 921 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: road team is a disadvantage no matter what the situation is. 922 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 1: Fans or no fans. But Murray, obviously, I did notice 923 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins in that game a little bit, a little 924 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: bit and so, but it was a tremendous effort by 925 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 1: them to beat the defending NFC champions. It really was 926 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 1: and I was impressed with Arizona. I think Kyler Murray 927 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: is taking a nice step from year one to year 928 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: or two in his reads his progressions. Now, look, you 929 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 1: and I both know this. Having DeAndre Hopkins on your 930 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 1: team helps you, and it helps a young quarterback because 931 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 1: we saw it several times with this weekend. Throw the 932 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 1: ball in his general vicinity, He's going to catch the 933 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: football and that's what DeAndre Hopkins did fourteen catches against 934 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Larry Fitzgerald had several big catches as well 935 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: to help out his young quarterback. On how many times 936 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 1: have we seen that in Larry Fitzgerald's career. I mean, 937 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: my gosh, the guy just keeps going. He's like the 938 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: energizer bunny as a football player, just keeps going and 939 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: going and going. And I thought he looked really good 940 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,879 Speaker 1: this weekend. They're a better team. That division is, in 941 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 1: my mind, the best division in football right now. Arizona 942 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 1: could be a you know, I've seen projections with them 943 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: as many as ten wins if they If they have 944 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,320 Speaker 1: ten wins this year, they're probably a playoff contender. Seattle obviously, 945 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 1: as a playoff contender, I don't think anybody's writing off 946 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco because of the way this first game went. 947 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: And don't forget the Los Angeles Rams. So I mean 948 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: that's those are four really good teams in that division. 949 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: Arizona is probably still behind the field, but they've taken 950 00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: big strides. Kenyan Drake is going to be a big 951 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: ad ation to them for a full year as opposed 952 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: to coming over mid season last year. I think their 953 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: defense is better. That's the team to keep an eye on, 954 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna be a fun team to watch. 955 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury is a fun play caller, and Kyler Murray 956 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: is going to do some ridiculous things with his legs 957 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: and his arm in the course of his second year. 958 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: And I think Kingsbury has the fans favorite coaches house 959 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 1: based on the images we saw during the draft. I mean, 960 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,919 Speaker 1: my goodness, that's like every every young guy's dream, every 961 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 1: guy's dream. Never mind that yeah, young old are in between, 962 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 1: and any of us look at that house and think welcome. 963 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm not living there. Yeah, all right, that's great. Okay, 964 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,480 Speaker 1: who do you have this weekend on radio? And on 965 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,839 Speaker 1: Fox only only TV this week? No radio game for me, 966 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 1: So I'm only I'm only the TV guy. This week, 967 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 1: We've got Rams Eagles on Sunday noon Central Time on Fox. 968 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm I don't know where it's gonna air yet, but 969 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: nice matchup. Eagles have to figure out a way to 970 00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 1: not allow eight sacks this week, and that's a one 971 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: thing tasks because I'm pretty sure I haven't finished my 972 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: prep yet, but I'm pretty sure Aaron Donald is an 973 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 1: awfully good pass rusher and he's on the other side 974 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 1: of that Eagle's offensive line. So not going to be 975 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: an easy task for the Eagles this week against the Rams, 976 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: who come in feeling pretty good off of their Sunday 977 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 1: night win, and see if they can go to and 978 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 1: Oz and continue to bolster up that division in the 979 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 1: NFC West. More surprising to you the Washington team defeating 980 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles or the Jacksonville Jaguars defeating the Indianapolis Colts, Well, 981 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 1: you know that's a good question. The Jaguars, I think 982 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,479 Speaker 1: surprised me a little bit more, only because Washington's defensive line. 983 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: I think it's a real good getting Chase Young on 984 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,320 Speaker 1: that that makes them so much better. Chase Young is 985 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 1: just a stud and you knew he was going to 986 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: have an immediate impact and did. Jacksonville's win was surprising 987 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:53,239 Speaker 1: to me. I was not necessarily expecting that. I was 988 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: not expecting them to make some of the plays that 989 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: they did in that game. We watched some of that 990 00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 1: game up in the press box on Sunday, and that 991 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: was maybe my most surprised face when I saw the 992 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 1: results of a game. I did not expect Jacksonville to 993 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,839 Speaker 1: come out of there with a win against Indianapolis. All right, Kevin, well, 994 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 1: thanks so much of the time. Have fun this weekend 995 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 1: with the Eagles and the Rams, and we appreciate it 996 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: as always. Thanks Mark, good to talk with you. You know, 997 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 1: when they started talking about the Big Ten football coming back, 998 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: Kevin was right on in October seventeenth. This was actually 999 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 1: a day or two before the Big Ten made its 1000 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 1: decision today that they would try and come back, that 1001 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: they're they're going to come back. As they try, we've 1002 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: seen teams struggle to get games done because of COVID, etc. 1003 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 1: But the Big Ten, with the new daily testing that 1004 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to do, felt more confident 1005 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 1: in coming back. We'll see the Pac twelve fellows suit. 1006 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 1: But mid October looks like the Big Ten will be 1007 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: trying to come back, trying to get an eight game 1008 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 1: conference schedule and then a plus one at some point, 1009 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 1: so it'll be kind of interesting. But Kevin hit right 1010 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: on it. He nailed it exactly. What's gonna happen. October 1011 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: seventeenth is the target date, and I'm glad it's gonna 1012 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,240 Speaker 1: happen for the Big Ten. But love Kevin. Love listening 1013 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: to on Big Ten games on Westwood one Sunday nights. 1014 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he's the best. I mean, he's 1015 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: just a great, great guy as well. Now another great 1016 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 1: guy is Mark vanderber. He's gonna join me at the 1017 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,959 Speaker 1: top of the second hour and we're going to dive 1018 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: into what we saw from the AFC South and where 1019 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,879 Speaker 1: the Texans fit in it.

How are you, 1116 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,919 Speaker 1: my friend? I'm doing great, Johnny. You know, I feel 1117 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,920 Speaker 1: like all right here. It is week two. You know, 1118 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: it was funny to have the weekend off and digest 1119 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: some other football action. But you know, now that you're 1120 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: in a Wednesday routine, regular game week routine, it feels good. 1121 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: It feels almost like, dare I say normal? All right, 1122 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 1: let's not get crazy. Yeah, don't go to the normal 1123 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 1: card just yet, just yet. We'll get there eventually, and 1124 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the FC South. But I do 1125 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 1: have to get your thoughts because I know you talked 1126 01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 1: with Kevin Coogler and I was able to play that 1127 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 1: interview earlier, and I think you talked to him a 1128 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,440 Speaker 1: couple of days ago, but he hit it right on 1129 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 1: the nose about the Big Ten football coming back and 1130 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: being back October. I'm glad for the Big Ten. I'm 1131 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 1: glad for the Big Ten players. I'm glad for the 1132 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 1: schools that they get football back. But my gosh, did 1133 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 1: they screw this up. I don't understand how they didn't 1134 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: just say, look, let's delay it, let's delay it, let's 1135 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: delay it. Let's let some of these other conferences be 1136 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 1: the guinea pig, so to speak, and then we'll say, Okay, yeah, 1137 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,720 Speaker 1: everything looks good, let's play it on this date. But 1138 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 1: instead they look sort of like, I don't want to say, 1139 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: flip flopping, fools, but it just I'm glad it's back, 1140 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: I'll say that. But man, this thing couldn't have been 1141 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,640 Speaker 1: handled anywhere by the Big ten. Yeah, it's just such 1142 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 1: an odd time to start the season, you know. I'm 1143 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 1: glad for the kids that they get to play. And 1144 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 1: Johnny correct me if I'm wrong. It's just football, right, 1145 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,439 Speaker 1: are we talking about volleyball? Somebody their fall sports coming back. 1146 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: I have not heard exactly if that's the case. I 1147 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 1: did read at one point it was going to be 1148 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: all fall sports, but I don't know if that's been confirmed. Yeah, 1149 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,480 Speaker 1: I think that's important because I think you know, you know, 1150 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 1: you played college sports, so you know what that's like. 1151 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't understand that. You know, 1152 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 1: if you're playing field hockey or anything else on a 1153 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: college campus, the amount of work that goes into it 1154 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 1: and you want to be able to play. I mean, 1155 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 1: this is a year of your life that you can't 1156 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 1: play that sport perhaps, And I just think it's important 1157 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 1: for the kids that they get to play. It's really crucial. Yeah, absolutely, 1158 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean that opportunity. I mean, look, you get four years, 1159 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 1: I mean you get five to play four sometimes six, 1160 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 1: depending on injuries and red shirts, et cetera. So you 1161 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,920 Speaker 1: don't have a ton of time. And the thing about 1162 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 1: this year is the NCAA has said, look, if you 1163 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,400 Speaker 1: can play this year, you don't lose a year out ability. 1164 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: So if you're a junior, and look, if you don't 1165 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: have any idea of going to the NFL, you just 1166 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one becomes your junior year all over again. 1167 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,200 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be kind of interesting. And we'll see 1168 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 1: if some of these players that opted out that didn't 1169 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 1: sign with agents will go back to those universities in 1170 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,000 Speaker 1: the Big ten. But that was a good piece of news. 1171 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 1: Now I don't know whether it was good news bad news. 1172 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 1: But let's talk about the AFC South mark because one 1173 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 1: week in we've got two teams one to oh, two 1174 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,040 Speaker 1: teams OZ and one. We knew that it was gonna 1175 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 1: be a split one to one because the Cults are 1176 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 1: playing the Jags. So thirty thousand foot view for dive 1177 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 1: in kind of each team of the AFC South Because 1178 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 1: I have one thought that kept hitting me all the 1179 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,360 Speaker 1: way through watching games Sunday the Jags and the Colts 1180 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,720 Speaker 1: and then watching the Titans on Monday. Your thirty thousand 1181 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: foot view of this division as it syst today, it's winnable, 1182 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 1: winnable for the Houston Texans. That's my thirty thousand foot 1183 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,720 Speaker 1: view and take I was not overly impressed with anybody. 1184 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,320 Speaker 1: I was happy for our friends who work in Jacksonville, 1185 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 1: who we know, and I know you know more people 1186 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,320 Speaker 1: than I do down there, but you know, we talk 1187 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 1: about them from time to time, even though we want 1188 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,560 Speaker 1: to crush them when we play them. I'm definitely rooting 1189 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,480 Speaker 1: for them against other AFC South teams unless they're having 1190 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: a kind of year they had in twenty seventeen where 1191 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 1: they're running away with it almost so I was very 1192 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: happy for them, and especially because they beat my most 1193 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 1: hated team ever, the Indianapolis Colts the Titans. I felt 1194 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 1: like Vic Fangio was leveling a personal attack on me 1195 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 1: late in the game the other night, the devil header 1196 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,800 Speaker 1: Kapper when he wouldn't call time out at the end 1197 01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:47,200 Speaker 1: of the game, and I'm just wondering, how does that 1198 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 1: even happen? Like, how is that even remotely possible? Yet 1199 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 1: it did, and a very winnable game for Denver slipped away. 1200 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Tennessee is one to oho along with the Jags. But 1201 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,400 Speaker 1: I felt like Johnny, this division through one week, Okay, 1202 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 1: it's anybody's division. And I know that teams get better, 1203 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,920 Speaker 1: teams get worse. Whatever. You hope you're one of the 1204 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 1: teams that gets better. But nobody looked overly impressive to 1205 01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:16,160 Speaker 1: me in the division. That was my exact thirty thousand 1206 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: foot view when I watched the Titans on Monday night. 1207 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,440 Speaker 1: That was the exact thought that I had after watching 1208 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 1: Jackson Colts. I'm like, the Colts really is and I'm 1209 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're sitting in those three cities going, well, man, 1210 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 1: look the Texans look vulnerable. My goodness, look at look 1211 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 1: at the Tech. They're probably feeling that that same way. 1212 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 1: But that was the exact feeling I had, And that 1213 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 1: was so many people wore picking the Colts, so many 1214 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 1: people picking the Titans, and I'm watching it going, holy cow, 1215 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: if we don't win the division, then then something has 1216 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,720 Speaker 1: gone wrong. I think once we get our sea legs 1217 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 1: under us offensively and this defense tackles better than it 1218 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,680 Speaker 1: did against Kansas City, I just look at those other 1219 01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:01,520 Speaker 1: teams and I'm like, Tannehill doesn't scare me at all. Minshew, 1220 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 1: I know he went. I know he completed ninety five, 1221 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 1: was passed like, that's a tremendous He had a tremendous afternoon. 1222 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:12,919 Speaker 1: But Mark, he just it was a bunch of checkdowns. 1223 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,160 Speaker 1: It was a great throw to Leavisca Chenal, but it 1224 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,440 Speaker 1: was just a little, a little juke rout across the 1225 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 1: middle of the formation, and because the middle of the field, 1226 01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's not much there. He did hit DJ 1227 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:25,680 Speaker 1: Chark on a great throw on the back of the 1228 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 1: end zone, and it's like when Minshew is at his best, 1229 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 1: he's a creating or b. He's just taking little profit 1230 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 1: here there, here, there, and then he'll hit one deep 1231 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 1: ball and then you add it up and it's like, well, 1232 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 1: he went nineteen of twenty and had three touchdown passes 1233 01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 1: and he only had one in completion. And I think 1234 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,360 Speaker 1: that teams will adapt to him even more. I do 1235 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,840 Speaker 1: think the Jags are better, and I think all those 1236 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 1: young guys, all those rookies, really made an impact for them. CJ. 1237 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 1: Henderson had looked like made an impact. But Mark, I 1238 01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,400 Speaker 1: gotta think that as the Colts are flying back, both 1239 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,840 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard and Frank Reich were like, we can't throw 1240 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: the ball forty eight times. We went and got this 1241 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 1: offensive line. We built this offensive line for a reason, 1242 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 1: and that was the stuff. The ball down people's throats 1243 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,760 Speaker 1: and phillips thrown at forty eight times mark, that was 1244 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 1: astounding to me that they would allow that to happen. 1245 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 1: And I know more than Mac got hurt, they still 1246 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 1: have Johnpon, Taylor and Naim Hines. I mean, I just 1247 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 1: don't understand where the Colts got off thrown forty eight times. 1248 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,920 Speaker 1: I just didn't not understand that. Yeah, I think that 1249 01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 1: the Mac injury definitely contributed to that because Taylor is 1250 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: a rookie. He clearly it wasn't like he was having 1251 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 1: a Clyde Edwards a layer type afternoon. They did give 1252 01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: the ball to him a few times, and then Nahem 1253 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 1: Hines obviously knows the offense. You know, this is a 1254 01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 1: player who you feel very comfortable with out there. Let's 1255 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 1: pick up being able to get you some yards on 1256 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 1: the ground, but just operating your offense. You feel very 1257 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 1: comfortable with Hines out there as opposed to the rookie. 1258 01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 1: So the Mac injury made them thin in a hurry. 1259 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 1: We always talk about than in a hurry as a 1260 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 1: possibility due to injury, and that's what happened to them. 1261 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans lost Duke Johnson the other night, 1262 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 1: but they had David Johnson, so that was good news. 1263 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: Yet he's still a new guy for them. But I'm 1264 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 1: with you. They want to run the ball. This Colts 1265 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 1: team is not designed to throw it that often. Yeah, 1266 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,439 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be in some shootouts. The gun 1267 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 1: slinger is gonna have to do his thing. But week 1268 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,040 Speaker 1: one it didn't work out. And I'm with you on 1269 01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:27,200 Speaker 1: the Minshoe throws however, Yeah, those the deeper throws that 1270 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,759 Speaker 1: you talked about, hitting shark, hitting coal coal running wide 1271 01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,760 Speaker 1: open in a coult secondary. That's my goodness, what were 1272 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:38,600 Speaker 1: you doing on that play? I was very I was 1273 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 1: very encouraged by that, Johnny as far as the Indianapolis 1274 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,639 Speaker 1: side of things goes. So let's just see what happens 1275 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 1: and Tennessee they still look a lot like Tennessee. They're 1276 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 1: a hard nose, tough, physical team. Tannehill can make plays. 1277 01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 1: The threat of Henry running is terrifying to a defense, 1278 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 1: so it opens up all sorts of things for Tannehill 1279 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,200 Speaker 1: and you just have to hope that some how you 1280 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 1: could wear him down in the course of the game, 1281 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,880 Speaker 1: or at least neutralize them to the point where Tannahill 1282 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,880 Speaker 1: has to be you. The one thing I thought about Tennessee, 1283 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,680 Speaker 1: I felt like they're running. I mean, Henry ended up 1284 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 1: with over one hundred and I can't remember what he 1285 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,280 Speaker 1: had one hundred and eighteen yards or so. He ended 1286 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:19,040 Speaker 1: up with over one hundred yards. And look, I'll never 1287 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,240 Speaker 1: never in this league pooh pooh over a hundred yards. 1288 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 1: But it felt like times when he needed to pick 1289 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,639 Speaker 1: up a few yards, especially downside of ten yard line, 1290 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:32,040 Speaker 1: the Broncos that defense got tough and slowed him down. 1291 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 1: And there were times where if they didn't let him 1292 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 1: get ahead of steam, they were really able to shut 1293 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,040 Speaker 1: him down at times. But then there are times when 1294 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: he gets it rolling. The other thing was I really 1295 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:47,759 Speaker 1: I thought that the Titans with Clowneys, the addition of Clowney, 1296 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 1: that there would be a little bit more defensively, not 1297 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,840 Speaker 1: like scheme wise, but boy, physically you would go, oh, 1298 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,160 Speaker 1: my goodness, I'm fearing for de Shan's life with all 1299 01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 1: they have on defense now. And meanwhile, Drew Locke really 1300 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,840 Speaker 1: had opportunities to hit receivers whenever he wanted. I mean, 1301 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 1: he hits Jerry Judy right in the hands and he 1302 01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 1: drops it. I think I think that teams are going 1303 01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:15,360 Speaker 1: to be able to move the ball in to the Titans. 1304 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:16,840 Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to move the ball in 1305 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,160 Speaker 1: to the Titans. I think we'll be able to move 1306 01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,719 Speaker 1: the ball all three of these defenses in the AFC South. 1307 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,639 Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to do that. Now, our 1308 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,760 Speaker 1: defense obviously has to face three different types of offenses, 1309 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with the Colts offense how 1310 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna develop. But I just feel like this division 1311 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 1: is it's it's very winnable, and I know a lot 1312 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 1: of people will jump on the Titans. The power rankings 1313 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 1: I've seen all all day long have been Titans in 1314 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 1: the top ten. I'm like, man, if you think the 1315 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:52,639 Speaker 1: Titans are in the top ten, they didn't watch the game. Yeah, 1316 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,560 Speaker 1: they didn't watch it. I mean that's how I feel like. 1317 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they're a bad football team. They're not. 1318 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 1: This is a team that could certainly in the division. 1319 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if we're looking up at the end of 1320 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:05,600 Speaker 1: the year, they wanted more power to them and it 1321 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 1: would not totally shock me. But I'm with you. The 1322 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 1: thing about Derrick Henry is you got to pay so 1323 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 1: much attention to him. And you know how sometimes we 1324 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 1: talk about the NFL like every play is a car accident, right, 1325 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean that is a violent collision you are having 1326 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,320 Speaker 1: with the running back, trying to slow him down, trying 1327 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,040 Speaker 1: to stop him. I mean it's a bludgeoning that you 1328 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 1: are taking. Even when you do stop him. It does 1329 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 1: take a toll on a defense. But you're right. The 1330 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy drops. Now, I know he had that one 1331 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,679 Speaker 1: amazing move, but the Judy drops. If he catches both 1332 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 1: of those balls, they win the game. It's not all 1333 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,280 Speaker 1: his fault. Lock's got to play better, they all do. 1334 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 1: But it was that close the other night. Heck, it's 1335 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,920 Speaker 1: a one point game going into the final second, so 1336 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,639 Speaker 1: I think that it is a beatable team. And yeah, 1337 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 1: there were some so called encouraging things. But Johnny, I'll 1338 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,680 Speaker 1: go here. You know what the division's like, and you 1339 01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 1: know that Texans play the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1340 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,599 Speaker 1: AFC West because they finish first, and the Titans get 1341 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 1: the Broncos. So you had a chance the other night 1342 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: if Denver won that game to sort of steal one 1343 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:12,320 Speaker 1: of those non playing division finished in the same place slots. Right, 1344 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 1: If the Broncos were able to upset the Titans, that 1345 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: would have been huge for you down the stretch. Well, 1346 01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,840 Speaker 1: you didn't get it and you lost your game. You know, 1347 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 1: ultimately you take care of business, You're gonna be okay. 1348 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 1: But I love getting help even in week one. I'm 1349 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:30,200 Speaker 1: that guy. Well, i'm that guy as well, there's no 1350 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,880 Speaker 1: question about that. Okay, we're gonna cut it there. When 1351 01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,679 Speaker 1: we get back, Mark and I will play more likely 1352 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 1: to happen. Turn the tables. I will give them more 1353 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,640 Speaker 1: likely to happen to Mark. We'll do that next.

More likely to happen, and typically Mark throws 1451 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,000 Speaker 1: him at me. I'm gonna throw some at him. Actually, 1452 01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:44,800 Speaker 1: we're just gonna mix them all up in this segment 1453 01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,640 Speaker 1: because I got a couple from Mark.

More likely to 1456 01:18:54,640 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 1: happen JK. Dobbins more touchdowns or I'm kind going an 1457 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,080 Speaker 1: over under here who has more touchdowns more likely to 1458 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 1: have more touchdowns JK. Dobbins Or our good buddy David Johnson. 1459 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:12,479 Speaker 1: Oh man, Okay, I think it's gonna end up being 1460 01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 1: in this one, it's David Johnson because I think the 1461 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:21,240 Speaker 1: Texans they're gonna know full well on JK. Dobbins. I 1462 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 1: think they're gonna do whatever they gotta do to keep 1463 01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:24,320 Speaker 1: him out of the end zone. Now, I don't know 1464 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 1: if it's gonna be a situation where Dobbins ends up 1465 01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:32,960 Speaker 1: being sort of a touchdown vulture, where Ingram does some 1466 01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,519 Speaker 1: of the work, the majority of the work, and then 1467 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:37,960 Speaker 1: they get down in the red zone or get down 1468 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:42,240 Speaker 1: into deep red zone and then that's when Dobbins takes over. 1469 01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna turn out like that, 1470 01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,679 Speaker 1: but I just have a feeling that David Johnson's ready 1471 01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:51,679 Speaker 1: to He's gonna get in the end zone a couple 1472 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:54,280 Speaker 1: of times. I think he's gonna get one rushing, one receiving. 1473 01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,160 Speaker 1: That's just that's my gut, and I think it's gonna 1474 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:01,760 Speaker 1: be vital that he gets those two touchdowns in this one. 1475 01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 1: So I'm rolling with the vet over the rookie. I'm 1476 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 1: going with David Johnson getting in the end zone more 1477 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,800 Speaker 1: so than JK. Dobbins. I will say this though, the 1478 01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 1: Texans having faced Clyde Edwards Zilaire is great prep for JK. 1479 01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:26,440 Speaker 1: Dobbins because Dobbins, although not as I mean, he's a compact, 1480 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: strong dude, Clyde Edwards Zilaire is a little They're very similar. 1481 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:32,960 Speaker 1: What am I saying, It's just that Dobbins is a 1482 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:37,080 Speaker 1: couple inches taller, So going against Clyde Edwards Hilaire, they 1483 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,439 Speaker 1: at least have that experience of, Okay, this is what 1484 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like to take on these little pinball guys. 1485 01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,280 Speaker 1: We've got to bring everything we've got and physically we've 1486 01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:47,559 Speaker 1: got to match up with him. That said, I think 1487 01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:50,120 Speaker 1: the defense will step up keep him out of the 1488 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,679 Speaker 1: end zone, and I think it's gonna be David Johnson's 1489 01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,519 Speaker 1: day that turned in tonight. So I'm going David Johnson 1490 01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,439 Speaker 1: more likely to happen, more likely to score more than JK. Downs. 1491 01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:08,599 Speaker 1: Okay today mark mine for you. They were fourteen first 1492 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:16,960 Speaker 1: year Professional Football Hall of Fame candidates. Peyton Manning. It 1493 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:21,919 Speaker 1: was just announced today. First year eligibility Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson, 1494 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson. I'll give you those three to start with. 1495 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 1: More likely to happen. All three go in as first 1496 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 1: year on their first year eligible, or Peyton, Manning and 1497 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:43,639 Speaker 1: Woodson go in on their first year eligible. Manning and Woodson, 1498 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 1: they go in more likely to happen. Look, Megatron was 1499 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 1: a great player, There's no question about it. But Megatron 1500 01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:57,760 Speaker 1: has to wait. I'm sorry. Look, he had great brand name, recognition, 1501 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,920 Speaker 1: the sexy nickname, all of it. He was a terrific player. 1502 01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,680 Speaker 1: No one has taken that away from him. Johnny, But 1503 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,639 Speaker 1: let's look at the numbers. Let's look at the lack 1504 01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 1: of star power production in postseason situations, right. I mean, 1505 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,200 Speaker 1: this is a player who it's not his fault that 1506 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: they weren't a good enough franchise, just like it's not 1507 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 1: Andrey Johnson's fault that it took till two eleven for 1508 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,720 Speaker 1: him to make the postseason. He finally did cut a 1509 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,600 Speaker 1: touchdown in his very first postseason game. But it's not 1510 01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,439 Speaker 1: their fault when their teams don't do enough. But he 1511 01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,360 Speaker 1: had a pretty good quarterback for a big chunk of 1512 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 1: his career and Matthew Stafford, who everybody loves, and by 1513 01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:37,840 Speaker 1: the way that throw he made the other day, I 1514 01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:41,800 Speaker 1: felt bad for Swift. And that is why people think 1515 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,880 Speaker 1: matt Stafford is an elite type quarterback caliber quarterback because 1516 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 1: he can make a throw like that, which was a 1517 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 1: dart to win the game and Swift couldn't hang on. 1518 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:54,040 Speaker 1: But you know whatever, Stafford has four winning seasons since 1519 01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine when he joined this league. So 1520 01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,600 Speaker 1: it always perplexes me why so highly regarded. Not to 1521 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 1: bury it Stafford in this conversation, but you know how 1522 01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,800 Speaker 1: I feel. I mean, I feel like Andre Johnson was 1523 01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 1: better than Calvin Johnson. I just feel that way. Now 1524 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:11,320 Speaker 1: maybe other people would disagree, but in any case, he's 1525 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 1: got to wait Manning and Woodson first. That's my take 1526 01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: on that. More likely to happen, all right, I'll give 1527 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 1: you another one here. More likely to have more touchdowns 1528 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:28,719 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Mark Andrews or a combination of Will Fuller 1529 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:35,240 Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks Andrews or Fuller and Cooks combined the 1530 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 1: law firm of Fuller and Cooks. Oh Man, That's tough 1531 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,400 Speaker 1: because if there's a guy that worries me down in 1532 01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:49,559 Speaker 1: the red zone more than Nobbins. It's Andrews and it's 1533 01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 1: Andrews because of all the different window dressing that the 1534 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,000 Speaker 1: Ravens can put. The know they guy have the ball 1535 01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,240 Speaker 1: at the five yard line and they can fake zone read, 1536 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,599 Speaker 1: Lamar can start to run, they can do different things 1537 01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 1: the routes, and then all of a sudden, Andrews just 1538 01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:08,960 Speaker 1: pops wide open because you try and match personnel down 1539 01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:12,840 Speaker 1: on a goal line. And I'm gonna say, I'm gonna 1540 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:17,280 Speaker 1: say Andrews, and I don't want to say that, but 1541 01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm playing the percentages here and that Brandon Cooks and 1542 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,839 Speaker 1: Will Fuller have to face one of the best, arguably 1543 01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,600 Speaker 1: one of the better secondaries in the league. Now. I 1544 01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:31,559 Speaker 1: do think that the Ravens at safety with no Earl Thomas, 1545 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:35,200 Speaker 1: the Sean Elliott young player at the University of Texas, 1546 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:37,920 Speaker 1: We'll see what he's got. He started last week and 1547 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 1: did an okay job back there. I do think that 1548 01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:43,920 Speaker 1: there's a possibility of Texans can't get the ball and 1549 01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,559 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field on these guys. But man, 1550 01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 1: this is a really good it's a good secondary, and 1551 01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:53,799 Speaker 1: they physically can beat receivers up. And that's my worry, 1552 01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: La Mark Andrews. They will force it to him down 1553 01:24:57,720 --> 01:24:59,760 Speaker 1: in the red zone. When they get down to the 1554 01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 1: red zone, they will force it to Andrews. I hate 1555 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 1: to say this, but I'm gonna go more likely to 1556 01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 1: happen that Andrews has more than Fuller and Cooks because 1557 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:11,599 Speaker 1: I think the touchdowns will come from David Johnson. That's 1558 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,960 Speaker 1: my story and I'm sticking with it. Okay, more likely 1559 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:20,080 Speaker 1: to happen for me. Here's one. Let's go sacks. This 1560 01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:25,479 Speaker 1: is straight up more likely to happen. More sacks Sunday 1561 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:34,000 Speaker 1: Klais Campbell or JJ Watt. Oh well, Campbell coming more 1562 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,120 Speaker 1: from the interior. I don't see it. I think Watson 1563 01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,439 Speaker 1: pops out, doesn't get sacked by the interior lineman. What 1564 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,599 Speaker 1: what will have one of those games at some point 1565 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:48,000 Speaker 1: here where he gets like a couple you know, or more. 1566 01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:50,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's had those voluminous sack games from time 1567 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 1: to time, and you know, after what happened in Week one, 1568 01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:58,440 Speaker 1: Watt's been hearing it like, oh you really weren't that effective. 1569 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:01,880 Speaker 1: Oh so anyway, you know, I just I think that 1570 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: stuff motivates certain players, not that what cares about accolades 1571 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 1: or cares about negative reviews. But the great ones always 1572 01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,800 Speaker 1: find ways to motivate themselves even more. And what is 1573 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,800 Speaker 1: ultra motivated it already? But it's kind of like we 1574 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 1: all saw the Last Dance and Jordan looking for any 1575 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 1: way to get a chip on his shoulder, an extra chip, 1576 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, some kind of extra adrenaline rush. And I 1577 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,840 Speaker 1: totally get that, you know, in all my great athletic moments. 1578 01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,719 Speaker 1: I just kid, but I totally get that. Even playing 1579 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,160 Speaker 1: pick up basketball, when I'm a little angry about something, 1580 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 1: I play better, you know what I mean, there's an edge, 1581 01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,960 Speaker 1: you get a little more adrenaline flowing. I think that's 1582 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 1: what these guys look for, you know, if I can 1583 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:43,000 Speaker 1: analyze it that way anecdotally. So I believe that, you know, 1584 01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 1: Wat is hearing it, feeling it, and he'll be ready 1585 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 1: to go on Sunday. I would definitely vote for ninety nine. Yeah, 1586 01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:51,800 Speaker 1: So should I go another one? Here? Ye have time? 1587 01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:56,960 Speaker 1: Do you want to talk straight up stuff? More likely 1588 01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:00,559 Speaker 1: to have more passing yards to Shaun Watson Lamar Jack. Now, 1589 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:04,240 Speaker 1: they threw for a similar number last week, and if 1590 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 1: either team is really going good on the ground with 1591 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,720 Speaker 1: either the quarterbacks themselves, but most particularly the backs, well, 1592 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,960 Speaker 1: then you would think, gee, you don't have to throw 1593 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,719 Speaker 1: it for that many yards. Mahomes only had two hundred eleven. 1594 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,960 Speaker 1: We talked about that, but I'm not gonna answer the 1595 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 1: question for you. What do you think more likely to 1596 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:26,599 Speaker 1: have more passing yards? Lamar Jackson to Shaun Watson, Oh boy, 1597 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,800 Speaker 1: you know when these two teams have matched up, it's 1598 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,040 Speaker 1: been the one who throws for the most passing yards 1599 01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:39,160 Speaker 1: who ends up losing. Because back in twenty sixteen in college, 1600 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,640 Speaker 1: Lamar threw for a ton yards. They lost. Last year, 1601 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 1: I think Deshaan ended up I think by the end 1602 01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 1: of the game throwing for a decent amount. I don't remember. 1603 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,840 Speaker 1: It was just an offl afternoon. Maybe not. But my 1604 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,559 Speaker 1: gut tells me to go with Lamar on this because 1605 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,920 Speaker 1: I feel like the Texans are gonna have that same 1606 01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,519 Speaker 1: sort of philosophy liked twenty sixteen and gets the Chiefs 1607 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 1: see if they get a couple of turnovers, capitalize off 1608 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 1: those turnovers, control the ball on the ground, and really 1609 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 1: try and control clock a little bit, and then hit 1610 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,680 Speaker 1: him with David Johnson down in the red zone as 1611 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:17,880 Speaker 1: a receiver as a runner, and I think that'll minimize 1612 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,640 Speaker 1: the Shawn's passing yardage. I do think you'll have opportunities 1613 01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,240 Speaker 1: to throw touchdowns in the red zone, but I think 1614 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,600 Speaker 1: overall his passing game yardage is not going to be 1615 01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,080 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount because the Texans, I think, are going 1616 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 1: to control the ball on the ground with a lot 1617 01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:36,160 Speaker 1: of David Johnson and the Shawn himself. So I'm going 1618 01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:40,680 Speaker 1: with Lamar having more passing yards, the Shawn having the 1619 01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:44,719 Speaker 1: better ball game, and the Texans obviously getting the win. Mark, 1620 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 1: you're the best. I appreciate it. Thank you so much, 1621 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:51,200 Speaker 1: my friend. We will talk again tomorrow. Thank you. Johnny. 1622 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 1: All right, this second hour is all about my pals. 1623 01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 1: Mark Vannermer spent the last two segments with me.

But let's 1747 01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:29,000 Speaker 1: start with a cream of the cropper. Get it out 1748 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:30,720 Speaker 1: of the way. I'm gonna I'm wrestling it away from 1749 01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:32,720 Speaker 1: you first. I'm taking David Johnson. There was a lot 1750 01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,240 Speaker 1: of wonder Hey, this guy's look good in training camp. 1751 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 1: He looked good in August. But let's you see how 1752 01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,360 Speaker 1: it happens or how he looks come game time when 1753 01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:42,800 Speaker 1: he's getting hit, and he looked he looked like the 1754 01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:45,200 Speaker 1: real deal. He looked like everything you said that first 1755 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:48,680 Speaker 1: day of camp to me, to Mark, to Dpe when 1756 01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:51,479 Speaker 1: we were talking in private, and he was very, very impressive. 1757 01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:55,040 Speaker 1: He said yesterday on Monday that he left some yards 1758 01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:57,919 Speaker 1: on the field though, which I mean, that's pretty darn impressive. 1759 01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,000 Speaker 1: Levin carries seventy seven yard yards that he caught the 1760 01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:04,000 Speaker 1: three passes for thirty yards and change. He didn't get 1761 01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,240 Speaker 1: that many chances just because the offense wasn't out on 1762 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 1: the field as much. But he's gonna be out on 1763 01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 1: the field and the offense is gonna be out on 1764 01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:12,200 Speaker 1: the field. It's like you said, he will move the 1765 01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:17,519 Speaker 1: chains in many different ways. Yeah, he's impressive. And the 1766 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:19,519 Speaker 1: one thing that stood to me as I watched was 1767 01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:25,160 Speaker 1: his vision. What he sees and who he sees is 1768 01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:29,519 Speaker 1: pretty impressive to know also where to look. There was 1769 01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,200 Speaker 1: one run I think it was in the second half, 1770 01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:33,479 Speaker 1: and he went off to the left and darted to 1771 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:35,560 Speaker 1: the left, and as he went through the hole, he 1772 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:39,160 Speaker 1: knew what the coverage was, so he knew that, oh, 1773 01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:40,880 Speaker 1: it's covered too, So he knew there was a cover 1774 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:45,200 Speaker 1: two corner out outside, and he knew he was going outside, 1775 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:46,880 Speaker 1: so he knew to get his eyes out there. Is 1776 01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:48,880 Speaker 1: that guys still out there? Is that guy being blocked? 1777 01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:51,880 Speaker 1: So I was being blocked. Darted them up the field 1778 01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:54,000 Speaker 1: knowing that that corner was going to come in and 1779 01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 1: like cut him, you know, cut him down or knocked 1780 01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 1: the ball loose or whatever the case might be. He 1781 01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,240 Speaker 1: knew where he was. He was cognitive everybody on the field. 1782 01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:04,559 Speaker 1: I was really impressed with him. I mean, he had 1783 01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:08,400 Speaker 1: only fourteen touches. I think that number will go up slowly, 1784 01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,240 Speaker 1: but surely. I think it's like everything else. In this 1785 01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:14,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty season kind of ramping it up. Levin carries 1786 01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:19,000 Speaker 1: three catches, fourteen touches. I think he'll get more as 1787 01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:23,200 Speaker 1: time wears on. I think he was really really good. 1788 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go from mine Drew on the defensive side, 1789 01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:30,280 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say Eric Murray. I think Eric Murray 1790 01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:33,200 Speaker 1: played a significant role for this team. On Thursday, you 1791 01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:35,880 Speaker 1: know the touchdown catch that was overturned on the first 1792 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:39,240 Speaker 1: drive for the Chiefs. You know Eric Murray going back 1793 01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:41,240 Speaker 1: and watching that play again. I mean I saw it 1794 01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:46,360 Speaker 1: happen live play. Yeah. He But the thing is is Drew, 1795 01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you other safeties the Texans I've had in 1796 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:53,000 Speaker 1: the past would not have been in that position because 1797 01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,559 Speaker 1: what happened was they were sending Tyreek and to Marcus Robinson, 1798 01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,400 Speaker 1: and so Murray was kind of supposed to stay over 1799 01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:04,080 Speaker 1: all of that. And so when Tyreek is going down 1800 01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:06,280 Speaker 1: the field, you gotta respect Tyreek. So he's playing over 1801 01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:09,000 Speaker 1: the top of Tyreek and then he sees Mahomes looking 1802 01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:12,080 Speaker 1: at Robinson and he speed turns, which we used to 1803 01:39:12,120 --> 01:39:16,519 Speaker 1: call baseball turn, and gets himself back in the play 1804 01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:19,800 Speaker 1: on the Marcus Robinson and is really the one that 1805 01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,439 Speaker 1: knocked that ball the way. Now, Eric would love to 1806 01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:26,600 Speaker 1: have that interception Backum that seemingly hit him in the 1807 01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:28,880 Speaker 1: in the It looked like him in the shoulder, pads, 1808 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:30,479 Speaker 1: kind of sounded like the helmet. It was just like 1809 01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:34,400 Speaker 1: this huge THUDND have changed the entire complexion of the game. Yeah, 1810 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:39,800 Speaker 1: but I early middle part of that first long yes, yeah, 1811 01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,640 Speaker 1: that would that would have been nice. But he was 1812 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:44,600 Speaker 1: unable to hang on that one. But I just like 1813 01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:46,639 Speaker 1: the way he played. He tackled pretty well in space. 1814 01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:48,880 Speaker 1: I think Eric Murray and the defensive side of the ball, 1815 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:51,280 Speaker 1: that's some really nice things. I was very, very pleased 1816 01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:53,360 Speaker 1: with what he brought to them. His hands are gonna 1817 01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:57,439 Speaker 1: be full this weekend because a guy that the Texans side. 1818 01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,760 Speaker 1: It was the worst defeat in the regular season last 1819 01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:02,680 Speaker 1: year for Houston. I mean, they riding that two game 1820 01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:05,559 Speaker 1: win streak like they had all season long. They had 1821 01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:07,800 Speaker 1: a set of two game win streaks, but they had 1822 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:11,560 Speaker 1: just won in London. They dominated Jacksonville, and there's a 1823 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:13,280 Speaker 1: lot of question marks, Hey, or how are they gonna 1824 01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:16,680 Speaker 1: look with the travel Jacksonville's used to this. Jacksonville gets 1825 01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:18,879 Speaker 1: a win, They're back to five hundred. Well, the Texans 1826 01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,000 Speaker 1: closed the door on the Jaguars that I mean, just 1827 01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:24,360 Speaker 1: dominated them. And then they hadn't beginning to end. Yep, yeah, 1828 01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 1: beginning end, and then they had the whole week off. 1829 01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:28,200 Speaker 1: You're going to Baltimore. This is gonna be a rumble. 1830 01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:31,719 Speaker 1: It was close for a quarter and then Baltimore stumped 1831 01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:37,320 Speaker 1: on the gas. Yea blew up. One non negotiable that 1832 01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:43,240 Speaker 1: you need the Texans to have for victory is get 1833 01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,040 Speaker 1: to go first. On that you would get to go first. Yes, 1834 01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna pass off for once. It's gotta 1835 01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:55,960 Speaker 1: be pristine. Pass protection pristine. It's absolutely, without a doubt, 1836 01:40:56,120 --> 01:41:00,360 Speaker 1: gotta be pristine. And there were times in a game 1837 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,879 Speaker 1: against the Ravens where they did have some good pass protection, 1838 01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:07,280 Speaker 1: but the Ravens secondary is so good they just clamped 1839 01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:09,840 Speaker 1: down to Shaun and anywhere good ball. Eventually he just 1840 01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:12,560 Speaker 1: kind of ran around a few times, and then on 1841 01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,080 Speaker 1: the first drive of the game he fumbles on a sack. 1842 01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:18,720 Speaker 1: But then the past protection didn't hold up. And the 1843 01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:22,120 Speaker 1: pass protection the other night against the Chiefs was not great. 1844 01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:26,240 Speaker 1: The other thing about pass protection, and it's kind of 1845 01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,679 Speaker 1: a subset, but a very important subset of pass protection 1846 01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:34,000 Speaker 1: is blitz pick up. The Ravens will bring guys from 1847 01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:38,840 Speaker 1: the parking lot and don Wink Martindale, I love that 1848 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,680 Speaker 1: nickname Wink. If you know who Wink Martindale is, then 1849 01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:46,600 Speaker 1: consider yourself an art demographic. But they'll bring everybody, and 1850 01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: in fact I did it. I'm doing a telestrator, actually 1851 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,120 Speaker 1: not as we speak, but I'm in the process of 1852 01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:53,720 Speaker 1: doing a tell straight right after we get done with 1853 01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:56,880 Speaker 1: this and the Ravens. It's one of those things where 1854 01:41:56,880 --> 01:41:59,439 Speaker 1: the Ravens will show you a look where hey, we 1855 01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:01,240 Speaker 1: got a lot of guys over here. We've got a 1856 01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:03,000 Speaker 1: lot of guys over here, and you're like, oh, we 1857 01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:05,519 Speaker 1: gotta block all those guys. But then those guys all 1858 01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:08,080 Speaker 1: drop into coverage, and then they bring guys from over here, 1859 01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:11,920 Speaker 1: and it's just like see this and give you this 1860 01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:17,439 Speaker 1: and so knowing that, and then there are times when 1861 01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:19,240 Speaker 1: they show you this and then those guys all come. 1862 01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 1: So you know, they do a number of different things, 1863 01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:26,320 Speaker 1: so you've got to be cognizant of that. You've got 1864 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:29,080 Speaker 1: to see if there are any tells when guys are 1865 01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 1: dropping and not blitzing and then the ball has got 1866 01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,040 Speaker 1: to come out of Deshaun Watson's hands fast, and that 1867 01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:39,479 Speaker 1: all has to do with confidence that he has in 1868 01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:43,799 Speaker 1: the past. Protection. Now, Klais Campbell has always given us issue. 1869 01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:46,720 Speaker 1: So they have a four man line and Kalais is 1870 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 1: part of it. You've got to protect against that guy, 1871 01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:51,160 Speaker 1: and whether it's a man and a half or two 1872 01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:54,639 Speaker 1: men that have got to just control him, that's fine. 1873 01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,840 Speaker 1: But if that's the case, then you got to have 1874 01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:58,639 Speaker 1: a one on one on the guys on the outside, 1875 01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:01,759 Speaker 1: and Judean and Ferguson and those guy and Tis Bowser, 1876 01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,880 Speaker 1: those guys can come from the outside. But Titus Howard 1877 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:06,599 Speaker 1: got to do a better job on the right side 1878 01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:08,600 Speaker 1: protecting that side, and Larry is going to have to 1879 01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:10,720 Speaker 1: do a rock solid job on the left side to 1880 01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 1: protect that. When they just bring a four man line 1881 01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,360 Speaker 1: or they're bringing five and you can man up five 1882 01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:19,479 Speaker 1: on five, you can go Hawaii five vote protection and 1883 01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:23,719 Speaker 1: leave your back on the linebacker. That comes in part 1884 01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:30,559 Speaker 1: of pass protection. Our receivers getting open quickly. So it's 1885 01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,120 Speaker 1: all kind of like pass protection's got to be pristine. 1886 01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:37,840 Speaker 1: The only way it's pristine is if you understand and 1887 01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,000 Speaker 1: know where the blitz is coming from. You then pick 1888 01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:42,800 Speaker 1: it up. Your receivers know exactly what they're doing and 1889 01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 1: where to go and get open quickly. So all that 1890 01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:49,559 Speaker 1: synergy you're talking about, all right, that's yours pass protection 1891 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:56,439 Speaker 1: and whatnot. For me, you gotta go plus two in 1892 01:43:56,560 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 1: turnover differential. You gotta make it count with against the team. 1893 01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:02,519 Speaker 1: You need to get off the field, but you also 1894 01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:04,599 Speaker 1: got to keep them from popping you in the mouth 1895 01:44:04,680 --> 01:44:08,040 Speaker 1: with touchdown drive after touchdown drive. That's like three three 1896 01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 1: plays or two plays. You've got to get off the field. 1897 01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:13,799 Speaker 1: JJ Watt talked about it as far as creating turnovers 1898 01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,640 Speaker 1: because when this team is won, it's been because of 1899 01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, doing well in that turnover differential category. Two 1900 01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:21,280 Speaker 1: years ago they were one of the best in the league. 1901 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,200 Speaker 1: Last year they really got away with some stuff because 1902 01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:27,439 Speaker 1: the Texans were right around even almost under water when 1903 01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:30,920 Speaker 1: it came to turnover differential. But it's got to get 1904 01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:33,439 Speaker 1: better because it was not good last year against this 1905 01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:35,880 Speaker 1: Ravens team. You got to come up with a fumble 1906 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 1: or a pick and make things really really tough on them. 1907 01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:43,280 Speaker 1: Put the pressure on them because we've seen they only 1908 01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:45,640 Speaker 1: lost three times all of last year if you can 1909 01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:49,080 Speaker 1: include the playoffs, and in the playoffs it took the 1910 01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:51,000 Speaker 1: ball out of his hands. You know, Lamar Jackson did 1911 01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:53,719 Speaker 1: not have the ball. So I'm gonna go with plus 1912 01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:58,240 Speaker 1: two turnover differential, Johnny. You know, it's interesting about that 1913 01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,320 Speaker 1: that Titans game. You know, I was just if you 1914 01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,479 Speaker 1: played box score hero, I watched the game, Mark and 1915 01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:05,360 Speaker 1: I watched the game when we were out that night, 1916 01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:08,080 Speaker 1: and it was interesting because we were we were in 1917 01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,040 Speaker 1: a place in Kansas City where everybody was cheering for 1918 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,679 Speaker 1: the Titans. You know, it was it was kind of bizarre. 1919 01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:15,960 Speaker 1: But the Titans had I'm sorry, the Ravens had five 1920 01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:22,120 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards in that game. They they on 1921 01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:27,519 Speaker 1: third down, we're eleven of sixteen, there were sixty one percent, 1922 01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:31,120 Speaker 1: but they were all for four and fourth down. That's 1923 01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:33,479 Speaker 1: like a turnover. And then they turned it over a 1924 01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:37,559 Speaker 1: couple of times and the Titans just didn't. So from 1925 01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,559 Speaker 1: that perspective, you're absolutely right now that that was an 1926 01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:43,559 Speaker 1: extreme case of four. You didn't make it on four 1927 01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:46,360 Speaker 1: four downs and then you got two turnovers. I think 1928 01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:48,599 Speaker 1: that that would make you a plus six. But still, 1929 01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:52,720 Speaker 1: even if it's just plus two you just whether it's 1930 01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:54,720 Speaker 1: you get a fourth down stop and a turnover, two 1931 01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:58,680 Speaker 1: turn ups, whatever, those are gonna be huge. Sam Cook 1932 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:00,560 Speaker 1: didn't even get on the field last unless he was 1933 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,640 Speaker 1: holding introducing tucker Field goals and extra points. Yeah, that 1934 01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:05,840 Speaker 1: can't be the case this year. That cannot be the 1935 01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,280 Speaker 1: case this year. They've got it and some of those 1936 01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:11,360 Speaker 1: drives with Sam Cook punting and he's extraordinary. I remember 1937 01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:14,800 Speaker 1: seventeen going up there. He was absolutely extraordinary with some 1938 01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:16,640 Speaker 1: of the punts. Of course, they got going with a 1939 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,920 Speaker 1: fake punt. And that's the other thing too. We've seen 1940 01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:22,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens do this. I've seen We've seen other teams 1941 01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:25,080 Speaker 1: do this over the weekend when teams kind of needed 1942 01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,360 Speaker 1: to get it going, like boy, it's kind of slow 1943 01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:31,880 Speaker 1: going fake punt. The Rams did it, saw Notre Dame 1944 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,800 Speaker 1: do it. Notre Dame did it against Duke. Duke kind 1945 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:36,880 Speaker 1: of had that game going in their direction. Notre Dame 1946 01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:39,000 Speaker 1: runs a fake punt, it's a big first down and 1947 01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:42,439 Speaker 1: then they rolled basically from that point forward. Saw the 1948 01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:45,400 Speaker 1: Browns try it in the Ravens game. It got shut 1949 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:48,240 Speaker 1: down and the Ravens just continued on, you know, on 1950 01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:51,160 Speaker 1: their run after that and saw. I'm trying to think 1951 01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:54,400 Speaker 1: somebody else did it too in the NFL, and I'm 1952 01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:56,120 Speaker 1: trying to remember who that was. Can't off top of 1953 01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:57,479 Speaker 1: my head. But there were a number of fake punts. 1954 01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:02,080 Speaker 1: I remember the Ravens Monday Night game. They were kind 1955 01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,599 Speaker 1: of controlling them through the first quarter, a little after 1956 01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:08,280 Speaker 1: quarter and some change, you're talking about twenty seventeen, twenty seventeen, 1957 01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:10,400 Speaker 1: and then they run a fake punt. Sam Cook hits 1958 01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:13,880 Speaker 1: uh Chris Morton on the sideline and that got them, 1959 01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:17,280 Speaker 1: That got them going, and we couldn't we couldn't get 1960 01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:19,559 Speaker 1: we couldn't get it back in the driver's seat that game. 1961 01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:21,320 Speaker 1: We're playing uphill the rest of the game and ended 1962 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:24,760 Speaker 1: up losing it. So that's that's another thing to go 1963 01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,680 Speaker 1: along with kind of turnovers. Kind of a subset of 1964 01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:30,679 Speaker 1: that is, hey, fake punt, that's gonna be on the table, 1965 01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,320 Speaker 1: fake field goal. You know those things are gonna be 1966 01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:35,320 Speaker 1: on the table. With John Harbaugh as the head coach 1967 01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:39,479 Speaker 1: of the Ravens, so yeahs special team, so yes it 1968 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:43,439 Speaker 1: is yep. Okay, let's go down memory lane. Twenty fourteen 1969 01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:47,479 Speaker 1: Texans beat the Ravens, and there's lots of different things 1970 01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,400 Speaker 1: you can choose from here. I'm not gonna say them, 1971 01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:52,520 Speaker 1: but I'm my first one is it's a little obscure. 1972 01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:54,640 Speaker 1: Two of my best friends were at the game. I 1973 01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:58,280 Speaker 1: gave them my tickets, and one of them is sort 1974 01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:02,160 Speaker 1: of a casual he's not even really a sports fan, 1975 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:04,879 Speaker 1: but like he played football, but he doesn't follow football 1976 01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:07,880 Speaker 1: and he's more of like a UFC guy. He likes 1977 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:11,360 Speaker 1: following MMA and all that. But he texted me in 1978 01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:16,320 Speaker 1: game when the Ravens handed the ball off to Justin 1979 01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:18,840 Speaker 1: for Sett, who's the He's the NFL rushing king that 1980 01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:22,160 Speaker 1: year and the most yards on the ground that year. 1981 01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:26,040 Speaker 1: They handed in the ball, jj Watt cut through and 1982 01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:31,559 Speaker 1: basically pulled him back, and my friend said, that was amazing. 1983 01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:34,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that guy's not big, but he totally suplex movie. 1984 01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:37,560 Speaker 1: He's an NFL player and he basically suplexed him. And 1985 01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:39,880 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's that's jj Watt. And that 1986 01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,880 Speaker 1: was the year JJ Watt was. I mean a fireball. 1987 01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,800 Speaker 1: He's been great his whole year, whole career. You know, 1988 01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:47,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame someday, but 1989 01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:50,760 Speaker 1: he was an absolute comment in twenty fourteen, and that 1990 01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:54,960 Speaker 1: was just one not his highly memorable plays or one 1991 01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:57,760 Speaker 1: of his not memorable plays, but certainly a big one 1992 01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:00,160 Speaker 1: or a good one, because the Texans wound up into 1993 01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:02,920 Speaker 1: that game and became a big six Randy pull of 1994 01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:06,479 Speaker 1: field goals, Yeah, and a touchdown which I'm guessing you 1995 01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:10,840 Speaker 1: might bring up. No, I'm actually not, so let's talk 1996 01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:15,680 Speaker 1: about it after. Yeah. Mine that I will always have 1997 01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:20,680 Speaker 1: with that game goes back to the Sunday before the 1998 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:24,880 Speaker 1: Sunday before we had gone to Indianapolis, and on the 1999 01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:28,559 Speaker 1: but we're getting on the plane, and on that plane 2000 01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:32,400 Speaker 1: we sat up front or near the front, and as 2001 01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:36,040 Speaker 1: we're going to our seats, over to the left is 2002 01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:40,599 Speaker 1: Fitzy Ryan Fitzpatrick, whose leg is in a long cast 2003 01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:42,720 Speaker 1: and he's taking up the first three seats of the 2004 01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:46,479 Speaker 1: front row. And so then we're like, oh, crab okay. 2005 01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:48,599 Speaker 1: So then we go up to our seats, we sit down, 2006 01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:50,479 Speaker 1: and a little while later we can see coming down 2007 01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:53,720 Speaker 1: with crutches, Tom Savage, and so we're like, the only 2008 01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:55,880 Speaker 1: quarterback that we have that does not have some sort 2009 01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:58,840 Speaker 1: of cast on his body is Daddius Lewis. That's it. 2010 01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,479 Speaker 1: And so at some point between the time we took 2011 01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:05,040 Speaker 1: off and the time we landed, Case Keenan had gotten 2012 01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:08,559 Speaker 1: a call from the text and saying, hey, we need 2013 01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:10,719 Speaker 1: you to come back. Would you like to come back? 2014 01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:13,200 Speaker 1: And he of course did. He had been hunting in 2015 01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:17,240 Speaker 1: a deer blind that weekend. I think the Rams. He 2016 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:19,120 Speaker 1: was with their practice squad. I think the Rams have 2017 01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:20,600 Speaker 1: played a Thursday night game and so they had the 2018 01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:23,679 Speaker 1: weekend off and so he was hunting. Gets a texter 2019 01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:27,439 Speaker 1: or call from his wife saying, hey, the text you 2020 01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:30,479 Speaker 1: know Fitzpatrick got hurt. You might get a call, then 2021 01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:32,880 Speaker 1: calls him Layers a Savage got hurt, so you may 2022 01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:35,320 Speaker 1: definitely get a call. And he did. And he plays 2023 01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:38,080 Speaker 1: that game and his numbers weren't tremendous. Be his numbers 2024 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:41,160 Speaker 1: weren't tremendous, but he makes the first throw down the 2025 01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:45,080 Speaker 1: sideline about thirty five yards to Dre and and it 2026 01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:47,800 Speaker 1: was like, okay, all right, this guy's ready to roll. 2027 01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:50,360 Speaker 1: They had all they had a nice they did. They 2028 01:50:50,439 --> 01:50:53,439 Speaker 1: always did. It was really fun to see. And then 2029 01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:56,479 Speaker 1: after the game I would get a player to interview 2030 01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:58,640 Speaker 1: out on the field and so I told them I 2031 01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:01,800 Speaker 1: want Case and they're like okay, and I didn't say 2032 01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:04,200 Speaker 1: I want kids. I was like, I need kise. So 2033 01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for you up on the deck to throw 2034 01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,200 Speaker 1: it to David Brady to throw it to me, to 2035 01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:12,160 Speaker 1: get down to me. And so finally it comes down 2036 01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:15,600 Speaker 1: to me and he's just kind of standing there and 2037 01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,240 Speaker 1: he was fine, like he was fine, it seemed. And 2038 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:20,320 Speaker 1: then I asked. I asked the question. I was like, 2039 01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:23,080 Speaker 1: what are your emotions, man, what are you feeling right now? 2040 01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:26,200 Speaker 1: And he literally couldn't talk for a few seconds. He 2041 01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:30,160 Speaker 1: was just like he did he just he paused, He 2042 01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:31,559 Speaker 1: just kind of put his head on as his John 2043 01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:33,600 Speaker 1: He's kind of stammered a little bit. He was like, 2044 01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:37,479 Speaker 1: I don't even know, I don't even know what to think, 2045 01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,400 Speaker 1: and and it was so true. He just was kind 2046 01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:44,479 Speaker 1: of he was so taken, just just taken away, like wow, 2047 01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:47,280 Speaker 1: did that just happen? Did I just leave? You know? 2048 01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:50,920 Speaker 1: Did I just get my first his first win, his 2049 01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:53,280 Speaker 1: first win as a starting quarterback. He comes out of 2050 01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:55,400 Speaker 1: a dear blind you know where he was it all 2051 01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,559 Speaker 1: this is like going through his head and he's having 2052 01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:00,960 Speaker 1: just kind of this moment and we got done with it, 2053 01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:02,640 Speaker 1: and I just gotta put my mom around him, and 2054 01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:04,760 Speaker 1: he kind of just looked at me. And we had 2055 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,320 Speaker 1: known each other because we had done radio. He had 2056 01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:09,439 Speaker 1: been on our radio show, me and Sean and I 2057 01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:12,240 Speaker 1: and he had been with the two of us, and 2058 01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:14,439 Speaker 1: he would join us every single week and we just 2059 01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:17,240 Speaker 1: loved we loved when he when he said you of age, 2060 01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:19,720 Speaker 1: and we loved him and uh, and so I just 2061 01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:21,320 Speaker 1: kind of looked at him, just kind of looking me. 2062 01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:24,639 Speaker 1: I was like, and I'll just never forget that moment 2063 01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:29,360 Speaker 1: of him, just like feeling the emotion of that of 2064 01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:31,760 Speaker 1: the of the game, of being there making it, you know, 2065 01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:34,160 Speaker 1: being in that moment, and you know.
