1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: What is up? Everybody? Welcome into our first Monday edition

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access in season from the Honday Texans

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris, football analysts

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: and silent reporter. Glad to be way through this evening.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Wish we were meeting under different circumstances. Would have been

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: nice to have a twenty to seventeen win in our favor,

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: but it was not to happen. The Texans fought and

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: two yesterday with a loss in Nashville. As I mentioned

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: earlier today, the Texans the only team in the NFL

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: to go on the road for two games and play

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: two playoff teams. So I know that throughout the city.

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: I can read, I have listened, I can read some more.

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: I've heard what people have to say. I know people

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: are very disappointed in the football team. I think the

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: football team is disappointed in itself. Think coach O'Brien, as

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: you heard in the Coaches Show, knows there are some

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: things that he has got to get corrected in the

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: staff and on the field's, etc. Everybody is disappointed with

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: O two start. I don't think there's any question. I

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: think one of the major differences for the team is

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: they just gotta go back to work. Everybody else, unfortunately,

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: gets to wallow in it and oh my gosh, what

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: was us and all that kind of stuff because they

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: go back to their daily grind. But when you're in it,

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: you just move on the next one. The Giants are

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday. Not gonna be easy with Sequon Barkley,

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior. A defense that's got some athletic pieces

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: on it. We'll talk more about the Giants as we

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: go through the week, but there was plenty to react

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: to from yesterday, and there were some guys in the

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: locker room that talked today, some guys that talked after

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: the game yesterday. So I figure this would be a

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 1: good way to start our show with some hot reads

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: presented to you by Geico fifteen minutes because save you

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more on car insurance. And here from

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: some of those individuals, react to what they had to say,

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: And let's start with rookie tackle Martinez Rankin starting for

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: the first time in the NFL. Now he played significant

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: amount against the New England Patriots due to an injury

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: to Seantrew Henderson, but Martinez has stepped in at left

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: tackle and seems to be getting better and better by

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: the day. There are still some things that are a

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: little bit awkward, if that's the right way of saying it.

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: But he said today he's got a developing hurry at

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: this point. Right now, I got to continue to grow

46
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: up quick because you know, being a rookie is in

47
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: the excuse to me is you know, I gotta adach

48
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: like everyone else. Yes, he is a rookie, but he's

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: getting up the speed fast, and I appreciate the fact

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: that he knows he's got to keep his play at

51
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: a high premium, there's no question about it. And when

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: he does, that offensive line works pretty well together and

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: that's why they lead the league in rushing. And Martinez

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: talked about this holding ourselves to the standard day. We

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: want to, you know, come out and run the ball.

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, we don't want to come out and sit

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: the tone as an offense, as an offensive line. So like,

58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, I guess that's the main goal for us,

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: and I guess, you know, we just got to continue

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: to get better. We want to get more and more.

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: You know, we want to have thousand our running base.

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: There's an old adage you play like you practice. And

63
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: one of the themes that came up in the locker

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: room that coach O'Brien reiterated to us during the Coaches

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: Show was about practice this week in particular a Wednesday practice,

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: and Tyron Matthew talked about that after the game on Sunday.

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's the NFL. It's tough to play on

68
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: the role, doesn't matter who you're playing. It's tough to

69
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: win at somebody else's place. Like I said, you know,

70
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: we gotta get back into we gotta get back to

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: the film, come back to work this week. You gotta

72
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: be a true work week. Got to put it into work.

73
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Just where we get a w, just one win. Tyrn

74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: brings up an excellent point right there, and I think

75
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: he's he's dead on with this. When you have a

76
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: team that's got the players, the Texans do a talented team,

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: but you're not putting it together, it's just not all

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: like you see all the puzzle pieces and you see

79
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: what the puzzle can be, but you're just not putting

80
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: it all together. You just need to step back and

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: get one win. Take a deep breath, like, Okay, got

82
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: that win. We're good. Now we can now let's let's

83
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: get it done now, Let's do what we need to do.

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: And yes, you would like to have that happen in

85
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: week one, but you certainly don't want it to happen

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: in week nine. You know what I'm saying. These guys know,

87
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: they've been around winning situations. The Texans here have won

88
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: two division titles in fifteen and sixteen. Tyrn went all

89
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: the way to the NFC Championship game with Cardinals in

90
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: fifteen and fortunately hedn't played in knee injury. But these

91
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: guys aeron Colvin ANFC championship game. These guys have won before.

92
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: They know together what they can be. Now, they just

93
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: got to break the seal on win. But he brought

94
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: up that got to have a true work week and

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: I think it's at Wednesday practice that the guys talked about.

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: After the game, Tyran talked about it. We'll fully brought

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: it up. Coacher Brian brought it up today, a premium

98
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: all practice. Coach has always done that. Now here's the

99
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: thing I've seen teams have and I've coached teams that

100
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: have had a great week of practice. I can remember

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: it happening when I played. I can remember what happened

102
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: when I coached man we had a great week of

103
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: practice and go out there and nothing. I could also

104
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: remember times in which our week of practice was lousy.

105
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: I remember one time we played. We played on Friday

106
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: night in a rain storm, and it just took a

107
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: lot out of our kids. Our Wednesday practice, my defensive

108
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: coordinator convinced me after forty five minutes, he's like, send

109
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: them home. He's like, send them home. They're terrible right now.

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Came back the next day, had a decent practice, we

111
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: walked through things the day before, we went out and

112
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: beat the next team forty four to seven. So sometimes

113
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: very rare instances, it doesn't correlate. But I think what

114
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: Tyrann's saying is we have to have a sense of

115
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: urgency and practice to get it right and get us

116
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: back on a winning track, and it would be nice.

117
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: The last time the Texans won a game, Tyron Matthew

118
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: was in the building for the Cardinals and the Texas

119
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals. That's how far back we went. I mean,

120
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: that's what this team needs to win or than anything else.

121
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: There's no time, no doubt about that. Tyron also said,

122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: it's try to be honest with ourselves about this team.

123
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: We got a ton of adversity right now. You know,

124
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys had us

125
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: start knowing too, I mean tuin oh, and you know

126
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: we're putting up forty points and getting all kinds of

127
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: sex and turning over. So, like I said, all of

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: us have to look in the mirror, um, you know,

129
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: be our biggest critic, and then at the end of

130
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the day, tune out the noise. Tyron couldn't be more right,

131
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: tuning out the noise. No matter whether you're winning or

132
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: you're losing, there could be positive noise, e gree negative noise.

133
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: Tuning out the noise, because when you're winning, all this

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: noise is, Oh, you guys are the best. You guys

135
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: are the greatest, You can beat anybody. You start believing

136
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: that hype. Then when you're losing, it's you guys aren't

137
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: worth a plumb nickel. You guys can't get this done.

138
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: You guys are lousy. Coaches are bad, players are terrible,

139
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: can't get it done, et cetera. You gotta you gotta

140
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: block all that out, and that is harder to do

141
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: now than ever before. John McClain talked about that with

142
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: us this morning at Texas Monday. Stay off social media,

143
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: just tuning all that stuff out. Man, that's hard, especially

144
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: for twenty one to thirty year olds. They've grown up

145
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: with technology. They've grown up with Twitter and Facebook and

146
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: all the different mechanisms and snapchat. Me McClain Vannomers we

147
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: talked about this one. We haven't. We didn't hell out

148
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: with the college without the internet. Social Hell old I

149
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: am that makes that for me. Good lord. John McLean's

150
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: doing the same job he had now back before many

151
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: of all that. So that's hard though. That's very hard

152
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: to block out the noise. Re tyrans right. It has

153
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: to be done now. There's a lot of frustrations with

154
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: an owing to start. DeAndre Hopkins was asked about that

155
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: after the game on Sunday. Not very frustrated because we

156
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: got a lot of football left to play. You know,

157
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: you've got a great mistakes from today and move forward. Look,

158
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: DeAndre has been around. He's seen this team his rookieyear

159
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: go tune fourteen and climb back to nine to seven,

160
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: and next year went two division titles, and then last

161
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: year going through the litany of issue us at four

162
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: to twelve. He knows it's a long season. He also

163
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: knows that the quarterback leading them is a guy that

164
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: can help get them out of this funk if you will.

165
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: But he does need some help. He's a great leader.

166
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: You know, everybody is not just him. You know, it's

167
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: it's eleven people on the field at one time. Deshaun

168
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: doesn't play football by yourself. Speaking of said quarterback, let's

169
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: hear from DeShawn Watson, who said, hey, relax, don't hit

170
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: the panic button yet. We're fine. I mean, you u

171
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: one of the guys, one of the people wanted to

172
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: fancy in the panic button. Then that's on y'all. Don't

173
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: hop on the train, let their own down the season,

174
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: So no point of panicing. I know I'm not going

175
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: to panic, especially from what I came from, you know,

176
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: my childhood, so you know it comes with it. I

177
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: took losses before taking out of the cham and you know,

178
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: try to get better from him. They gotta just keep

179
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: playing dope. I guarantee you this team will play its

180
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: way out of a funk. Get a win and then

181
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: that'll break the seal in the get on a run,

182
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: starts stacking some ws. That's what needs to happen. But

183
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: I think this Sean is absolutely right. Hey, we're okay,

184
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: not great, We're okay and will be better. We will

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: be better and it will help to have a home game,

186
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. Sean was also asked about

187
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: the team's mindset after losing the first two games. Just

188
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: move on and you can't do well on it. You

189
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: take some you get some wins, you take some losses,

190
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: but you grow from it. It's part of the game.

191
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: If you do well on this, these last two losses

192
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: in I mean, your season's gonna go out and the

193
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: team you just gotta continue to move on. You know.

194
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah the record say oh one two, but you know

195
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: it's upcoming week with try to get one to no boy,

196
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: it was great to see fifteen back on the field yesterday.

197
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: Will Fuller was all kinds of awesome yesterday. Eight catches,

198
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen yards, thirty nine yard touchdown catch,

199
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: his only touchdown in the day, one touchdown. That's five

200
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Titans in three years. It's pretty nice.

201
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: Since it's gonna be back, it always feels good. Don't

202
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: get back on there with the guys. It feel like

203
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: I can't played football game in a long time. So

204
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: just feel good to get back at her. Unfortunately, win,

205
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: get to win. But like I said, we're gonna work

206
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: out the air practice or year win next week. Now,

207
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: my favorite sound by the day is coming up. This.

208
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 1: A lot of times this will happen in interviews, and

209
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: sometimes I know what happens to me after a game.

210
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: If I'm interviewing a player and I asked him, you know, hey,

211
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: what happened on his particular play. And a lot of

212
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: times you asked the player about a big play that

213
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,359
Speaker 1: he made during the game. Hey, what happened on an interception?

214
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: Take me through that play? What happened there? So Will

215
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: was asked about what happened on his touchdown catch. This

216
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: is the sound by the Year right here. I just

217
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: run fast. You know he's uh, Malcolm Bublo's pressing me

218
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: and I'll beat him off the line. And Shan went

219
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: through a perfect pass. No one in that locker room

220
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: can get straight to the point better than Will full

221
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: or what happened. I just ran fast. I heard that good,

222
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: and I died. I died laughing. Look, I'm telling you

223
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: at this point, anywhere you can get a laughing I

224
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: don't know Will didn't meet that way. He was being serious,

225
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: he did. He just ran fast. He ran fast and

226
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: went right by Butler and then at the very end

227
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: he got a nice little push off in. And the

228
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: last time those two had faced one another was in

229
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: the playoff game. And if you remember in the playoff

230
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: game in twenty sixteen when Butler's the Patriots, Fuller also

231
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: ran fast, but he didn't hang on to that one.

232
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Yesterday he hung on to it. And I'm telling you

233
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: that this guy changes things. And hopefully we're gonna get

234
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: another one back this week that can also change things

235
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: in the receiving game as well. It'll be fun to

236
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: have Keikqt back. Hopefully, fingers crossed he can get back

237
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: this week, then you can start putting the pieces together.

238
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: Then it's Deontay former. We wait for him, and now

239
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: you really open this thing up and hopefully that's what

240
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: happens down the road. But nobody, nobody cuts to the

241
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: quick better the Will Fuller. What's he doing a TD?

242
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: I just ran fast, That's really all it is. All right,

243
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: let's get to our final cuts from the locker room.

244
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: And this came on Sunday as JJ Watt talked to

245
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: the media after the game. He was asked what he

246
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: thought about the defensive performance. It wasn't good. I'm Erica.

247
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: I can only speak for the defense. Obviously, we had

248
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: the one drive in the first half were the went wild.

249
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: Can't we gave up too much, and then the last

250
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: drive at the end for them to get the field goal.

251
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: We can't. We can't give up those two drives. Here's

252
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: where I will defend the defense and JJ Watt, of course,

253
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: I know what he's saying. He's trying to say, Hey, look,

254
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: we got to do our part as well. But the

255
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: touchdown they gave up on the when it was seven

256
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: to nothing, they started at the forty five yard line.

257
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: The two field goals they gave up at the end,

258
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: they're field goals, and they gave up field goals. I

259
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: mean for the second game in a row all they've

260
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: given up six points in the second half. So there's

261
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: a point at which, okay, everybody's got to pick up

262
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: the slack a little bit to make sure that a

263
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: good defensive performance like that gets his team a w Now,

264
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: jed j was asked about them just going by what

265
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: the question was asked about the lack of pressure on

266
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: blank gabber. He's a very interesting answer. I get into

267
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: in a second. When did you want pressure? I mean

268
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: they they sat there and they quick throwed it, and

269
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: they'd throw a quick throw it to the side, they'd

270
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: put two, they'd had both the running backs ship, they'd

271
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: have a tight end ship. I mean they threw three

272
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: step they ran the ball. I mean, I don't know

273
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: when you wanted pressure. I don't know when there was

274
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: a seven yard drop back passage you thought we didn't

275
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: get enough pressure. But they're smart. They had a good

276
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: game plan. They knew that they had their guys out,

277
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: so they had a game plan put together that they

278
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: didn't need to protect against the pass rush like cars.

279
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: So you have to give them credit, and they did

280
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: a good job of creating a game plan that didn't

281
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: put their tackles in harm's way. Actually, JJ said it best.

282
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. There's only about six or seven throws

283
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: where they took any more than a five step or

284
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: a gun three step drop. That's it. That was all.

285
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys and their comments. Hopefully next week there'll

286
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: be some more positive ones after in w against the Giants.

287
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Andre Ware joined Mark and myself. Well,

Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon where there's so many good things, yet

300
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: so many mistakes that put this team in a hole.

301
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: Two steps forward, three steps back. It felt like all

302
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: day long, and boy it was tough. The men had

Speaker 1: get andre Ware in here to talk about it. Andre

307
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: joins us on Texans Monday, presented by Houston Methodist. Good morning, Drey.

308
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: How's it going? Hey guys, Good morning. How are you

309
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: guys doing well? Let's begin with something positive here, like

310
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Will Fuller because he comes back into the lineup and Drey,

311
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: I gotta say this that he just looks better. I mean,

312
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I know he made some huge plays last year, but

313
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: he looks like a more complete kind of receiver now.

314
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: Some of the short stuff, the tough catch is maybe

315
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: the big body's helping. What is your take on Fuller? Yeah,

316
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: I think that Tennessee went into into the game thinking

317
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: they were going to take away DeAndre and he was

318
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of attention and they could

319
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: hand the will will Fuller would just coverage one on

320
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: one on the backside or away from anything, away from

321
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: from DeAndre Hopkins. And so when when you do that,

322
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: you run the risk of him getting deep as he

323
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: did a couple on a couple of occasions. I thought

324
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: that Malcolm Butler became basically terrified of his speed and

325
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: started giving him a big cushion, even though at times

326
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: he was the lone defender on will Fuller. But then

327
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: he just went to work on him. And I said

328
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: during the broadcast. I thought the work that he put

329
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: in during the offseason to get his body a little

330
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: bit bigger, it's certainly starting to pay off, and it

331
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: looked that way yesterday. Andre your thoughts You played the position.

332
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: You know how difficult it is to play the quarterback position.

333
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about Deshauw Watson through these first

334
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: two games, but in particular yesterday what you saw from him?

335
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Things needs to address things you liked seeing about him yesterday. Well,

336
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: we talked about it last week. I mean, we tend

337
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: to forget because he's such a talented player that he

338
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: is only in his second year and only and not

339
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: even a complete year under his built because he was

340
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: injured and out most of the last season. And then

341
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: now he's just kind of getting us footing back back

342
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: under him from the injury. But you know, you've got

343
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: to have that drilled in. The situation I'm talking about

344
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: is at the end of the game. That's got to

345
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: be drilled in your head from the sideline as you

346
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: get ready to go back on the field. The first

347
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: thing is, you know, you can't take a sack with

348
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: seventeen seconds left in the ball game. And secondly, the

349
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: ball's got to come out quickly so that we have

350
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: a shot with no timeouts if it's a first down,

351
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: to get the field goal unit on the field and

352
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: time to maybe the field goal and tie the thing up.

353
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: But you can't hold on to it long and you

354
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: get caught up because he is such a playmaker that

355
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: you think you can make every play and sometimes it's

356
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: not necessary to try to make every play. And I

357
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: think that's just what he got caught up in yesterday

358
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: as the play started to develop, the situation that he

359
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: knew what was you know, what was called for in

360
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: that situation got away from him a little bit in

361
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 1: time wound up running out on him. But I like

362
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing. I would love to see a little

363
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: more protection upfront, and I don't know how you get

364
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: that at this stage, but I think he would be

365
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: that much more a dominant player if he had just

366
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more time where he's not getting the

367
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: ball out and then taking shots, and then as well

368
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: he once he's got to know when a play's over.

369
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: You know, he thinks he can, you know, make every

370
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: play every snap. Sometimes they're over and just throw the

371
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: ball all the way. See you're not taking shots at

372
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: the end of the end of the ball, end of

373
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: a play, because those things start to add up as

374
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: the season starts to progress. Yeah, that's he well put,

375
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean they will add off. I mean here he

376
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: is surviving these hits, but he's taken a lot of

377
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: shots in the first couple of weeks and they got

378
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: to fight a way to protect him. What about this

379
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: running game, Andrea, I think that's maybe the most encouraging

380
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: thing this entire season, is that they're leading the league

381
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: and rushing right now. That's not something we expected through

382
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: two games of the year. Yeah, I mean it's Lamar Miller.

383
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: We know he did some work in the offseason, came

384
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: back lighter, and you can see it. Alfred Blue, I

385
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: think I have more respect for him, or as much

386
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: respect for him as any player on this entire roster,

387
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: because he's just going to be the guy that is

388
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: they try to replace every year on the roster. That's

389
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: just this effect, and they're gonna bring backs in and

390
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: audition and draft, and he just goes about his business

391
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: and he he welcomes the challenge. He goes to work,

392
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: and he responds given the opportunities that he gets in

393
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: the ball game. I thought he was a true difference

394
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: maker yesterday in terms of what they were able to

395
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: do in the running game and keeping the offensivefloat at times.

396
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: I love him on special teams. He's just he's a

397
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: good football player, and I think that's the ultimate compliment

398
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: that you can pay someone that plays in this profession.

399
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: But he is that in every sense of the word. Dre.

400
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: If you walked into the meeting room today and you

401
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: were meeting with this team after two tough losses, obviously

402
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: playoff teams and on the road, what would be your

403
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: message to this particular team with the mix it has

404
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: of veterans and young guys, and what would be your

405
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: message after these two tough wins? Are two tough losses,

406
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: especially the one yesterday. Just being honest, we let one

407
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: get away and one that we should have won. I mean,

408
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: going in knowing the circumstances going into the game, we

409
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: needed more from a pass rush in a pass for

410
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: us since and then I would tell them that you

411
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: know every play counts for sixty minutes. You have absolutely

412
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: have to lock in in a professional football game. You

413
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: can't have penalties pre snap penalties where you're just breaking

414
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: the huddle or we're at the line of scrimmags. You

415
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: know the snap count, you know what's coming. We can't

416
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: continue to put ourselves behind the chains and expect to

417
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: convert when it's third and long. Secondly, guys, everybody on

418
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: the entire sideline has to lock in for sixty minutes.

419
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: We can't have a guy out of uniform contribute to

420
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard penalty. If you're on the sideline, you're

421
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: locked in and you're supporting your teammates. I think there

422
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: may be a rule put in from now and you

423
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: know going forward that those guys stand behind the yellow

424
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: line and that's like way behind the bench as they

425
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: watched the game, because you just you can't have something

426
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: like that that leads to a score and hurts the

427
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: football team that is totally uncalled for. Yeah, that was

428
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: very painful, indeed one of many painful moments in the game.

429
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: All Right, So, Andrea, you look around this division. The

430
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: Jaguars look like the best team in the AFC. Possibly.

431
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: I know Kansas City's lighting it up, but they're lighting

432
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: it up offensively. The Jaguars with Blake Bortles throwing all

433
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: those touchdowns yesterday, and they have defense. To me, that

434
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: might be top to bottom, the best team in the

435
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: AFC and possibly contending for top team in the NFL. Yeah,

436
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 1: it might be the best team in the league. I mean,

437
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't know a team in the NFC that even

438
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: comes close. And I was telling a buddy the other

439
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: day that when you look at Jacksonville and their roster

440
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: when they get to the draft, I mean, it's hard

441
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: to look for a need. They're drafting for debt, so

442
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: you can take the best player. I think Tom Poplin

443
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: has done one heck of a jog in a small

444
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: amount of time to create depth on the football team,

445
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: not just a frontline player and the starters, but this

446
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: depth behind them. So when they have injuries, it's really

447
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: unplugged and plugged the next guy in and they don't

448
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: miss a beat. And they have so much talent around

449
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles that he's finally starting to turn the corner,

450
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: not turning the ball over, and that's a scary thing

451
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: within the division. If he is taking care of the

452
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: football with all the weapons at his disposal. They lose Fournette,

453
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: they don't miss a beat. PJ. Yell then steps in

454
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: and catches a touchdown pass a week ago, and they

455
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: just continue to do what they're doing. They handled New

456
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: England yesterday. They were points in times of pumble. Otherwise

457
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: it's an even larger margin of victory for them over

458
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: New England. So it's a scary thing to watch, and

459
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: it happens to be right here in the division. Scarier

460
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: might be dre Kansas City's offense with Patrick Wholmes, Fuller,

461
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: Trigger Kelsey and Tyreek Hill of course preem out of

462
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: the backfield. Of course, the flip side of that is

463
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: that defense isn't very good, but Kansas City could put

464
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: up points with any offense that we see. What do

465
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: you think about what Mahomes is doing? Yeah, I have

466
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of respect for Andy Reid because you know,

467
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: when he did it and trading up from Mahomes and

468
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: Alex Smith has played the way he had played, everybody thought, well,

469
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: you know what is this about? And it took one

470
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: year for him to just kind of learn the system.

471
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: They were able to give him a rid shirt. And

472
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: even then, you know, there are some times during the

473
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: preseason where he said, well, you know what is going

474
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: on in Kansas City? Why would they do this? And

475
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: and this kid hadn't missed a beat. He came out

476
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: red hot. He's got playmakers around him, the running game

477
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt. He's got support there where he can

478
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: turn around. That takes some pressure off of him, and

479
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: he gets so caught up and trying to stop the

480
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: run that you forget about the dynamic receivers that they

481
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: have on the outside. They can make plays and got size,

482
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: and they certainly have speed and playmaking ability around him.

483
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: They got one of the better tight ends, if not

484
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: right now the best in the league in Travis Kelsey

485
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion. So he's just pulled the trigger and

486
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: he is doing it as well as anybody could do

487
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: it in the first two weeks of the season or

488
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: it's ever been done in the first two weeks of

489
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: an NFL season. What do you have in college football

490
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: this week? Out right? Going back to the U again

491
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: Florida International? Yeah, how about that? And so going down

492
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: to Miami this this trip and Florida Internationals there they

493
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: actually won pretty big. You know, you get a group

494
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: of kids that probably grew up wanting to go to Miami,

495
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: so that it's always good to see a game where

496
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: there's some guys playing with a chip on their shoulder

497
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: because they felt like they were overlooked. But it's it's

498
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: a solid team. They won big. They put up sixty

499
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: plus points last week or this past weekend. So I'm

500
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: interested to see what the game will how the game

501
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: will unfold. But Miami looked really good against Toledo last weekend.

502
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: Malik Rosier kind of found his rhythm. I think he

503
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: threw two touchdown passes and ran ran for three, So

504
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: he was he was definitely playing and did a nice

505
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: job on Saturday. And Butch Davis is coaching FIU, so

506
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: this is huge for him. Okay, well say say hi

507
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: to Butch for me and have a great time on right.

508
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: We look forward to seeing your Sunday. We'll do guys,

509
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: We'll see you ni. Well, that's got to be some

510
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: kind of weird for Butch Davis to be playing the

511
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: University of Miami school where he was with his new

512
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: school FIU. That's always kind of strange. I've done that

513
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: before in my past life, coaching against a team where

514
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: you once coached. It's very strange, very weird. But you know,

515
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: the best ones, I suppose can put it off and

516
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: get away with it. And if I used got some talent,

517
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: but Miami should be able to roll on that one.

518
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: They finally got it going against Toledo last week where

519
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Dre was calling that Miami Leado game. So he's got

520
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: a second Miami game back to back. Okay, when we

521
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: get back, we got to talk to Spencer Tillman inside

522
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: the game that was on Sunday night. Hopefully you get

523
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: a chance to see that. Spencer is probably one of

524
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: the best people to talk to after a loss because

525
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: he's got a pretty good perspective on things, and obviously

526
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons after a loss he is

527
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: so good to talk to because he does keep it

528
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: in perspective and does a great job with that. So

529
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: we will have Spencer Tillman next right here on Texans

530
00:27:29,320 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: All Access. Second down in fourteen from the Tennessee twenty

531
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: one yard line. Now they get out of the wild,

532
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 1: Henry Gabbert drops back. Gabbert in trouble and at Jafour

533
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: has him down for US sack. Duke at j four

534
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: first career sack. There's that man, Duke EDJA four rookie

535
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: out of a leaf Taylor High School wake forrest of

536
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: course of Houston homeboy glad to see him make a

537
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: play for his team active this time. Banged up a

538
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: little bit in Week one. Finally got in the field

539
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And I say finally got in the field.

540
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: He missed one week, but it was we needed him

541
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: in New England as well. But I bring up Duke

542
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: Gaje four to start this segment and welcome back to

543
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: our final segment of Texans All Access. Each and every

544
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Monday out try and highlight a player or a particular play.

545
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: I picked this sack, but this wasn't really the Duke

546
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: Edge four play that I wanted. There was an incompletion

547
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: by Blaine Gabbert earlier in the game and it followed

548
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: actually a Duke Edge four tackle on Derrick Henry and

549
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: Edge of four took him down on a tackle. I

550
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: want to say it was one of the first few

551
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: plays that Edge of four had been in a game.

552
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: He was playing on the right side and Henry cut

553
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: a run back. Duke was getting off a block, got up,

554
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: boom tackled him, you know, him getting like a two

555
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: or three yard game. It was four first down. I

556
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: think it was one of the only first downs that

557
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: the Titans end up getting from the second quarter until

558
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So good defensive play, but they haven't

559
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna first down. So it was first and ten and

560
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: Duke was lined up on the right side, and he

561
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: was line up against Kevin Pumfield, and I at the Greenbrier.

562
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: I saw Duke when when I would watch him do

563
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: one on ones. I was most intrigued by him because

564
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: I never knew what he was gonna do next. He

565
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: just never you never knew. He seemingly had this bag

566
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: of I don't say a bag of tricks because Russian

567
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: the pastors not bag of tricks. But he had a this,

568
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, bag of moves. He could just this toolbox

569
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: of moves that he could just go to, like all right, well,

570
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a chopping a swipe, or I'm gonna

571
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: chopping a rip, I'm gonna do I'm gonna do double

572
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: wipers with a rip. I'm gonna do a swim move here,

573
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do inside spin. I mean, he's got all

574
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: kinds of moves. Well, one that I had, really I

575
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: don't think i'd ever seen. I'm watching it's the very

576
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: last rep of Pastor rushing run on one on ones.

577
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know who he was going against, and

578
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: I saw him do it, and it's one of those

579
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: things when you see it live, and a lot of

580
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: times when I see things live, I immediately look up

581
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: because I'm looking for the video board, because that's down

582
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. I can do that. I look. I

583
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: watched the play live, and then I look to see

584
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: when the video boards gonna show me a replace so

585
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: I can see some of the other aspects maybe I

586
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: didn't see with it live, So immediately look up, like,

587
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: oh man, there's the video board here. I'm not gonna

588
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: see that again. What did he just do? That's one

589
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: of the craziest moves I've ever seen, And I didn't

590
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: really know how to explain it, but it looked like

591
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: he looked like Alan Iverson on a crossover. He kind

592
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: of took like a hesitation dribble, like he was going

593
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: across somebody over and then crossed him over. Well he

594
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: did that on pump Field. I don't know that I've

595
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: ever seen that in the game. He took like these

596
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: two long steps. You know, most guys are just you know,

597
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: sprinting off the edge or they're busting it inside. He

598
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: seemingly was kind of taking two long steps and then boom,

599
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: he got inside pump field and pumped feelin know what

600
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: to do, and Edge of four just got clean to

601
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback and Gabbert through the ball a millisecond before

602
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: Edge of four got there, a millisecond he threw it. Now,

603
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if Gabert felt him and got rid

604
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: of it because of that, but Edge of four coming

605
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: from the backside, if Gabert holds that ball a half

606
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: second longer, Edge of four has got a striped sack

607
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: fumble out and the Texans are gonna end up with

608
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: the ball. Just the nature of how he was getting

609
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: there and Gabert not seeing him. I don't know if

610
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: he felt him, like I said, But man, what a move.

611
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: It's as unique as anything I've ever seen a pass rusher. Dude.

612
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times with inside moves you

613
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: sprint hard to the outside shoulder and then you ripped

614
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: back under. But this was almost set you up. I'm

615
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna cross you over like Steph Curry, you know, like

616
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: James Hard with the crossover. I mean, it was so unique,

617
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: and that's what got Duke to the quarterback on that

618
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: particular play. Now, on the sack. He just tore the

619
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: guy down and ripped outside of him and then bent

620
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: it back to the quarterback and got to Gabert for

621
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: the sack. That was a tremendous play by Duke getting

622
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: that sack the third sack for the Texans this year.

623
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Would love to see more. And I know people are like, one,

624
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: wait a second, they didn't have their top three tackles

625
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: and you only had one sack. Part of that was

626
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: well the Titans. I was calling the Rams because that's

627
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: where Matt Laflour came from. The Titans. If you look

628
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: at what they did, they had they threw the ball

629
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: twenty times twenty one if you count the sack, twenty

630
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: one drop backs from Blaine Gabbert. And he threw the

631
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: ball either three step quick game, one step quick game,

632
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: or screen twelve or thirteen times. He only dropped back

633
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: to throw like take a five step drop or take

634
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: three steps from gun like seven six or seven times.

635
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: That was it. And on those Duke got one sack

636
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: and then he had guys in his face. Anytime he

637
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: did that. Now, I will say he delivered at the

638
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: key time of the game. Gabert did with the ball

639
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: that he threw to to Taj sharp On think I

640
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: think it was third and three, and he delivered a

641
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: dime across the middle. And that's when I was like,

642
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: oh man, this is not good. Because Sharpe had the

643
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: one knocked away earlier in a game by Jackson. This

644
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: one he held on too. I think he had Jonathan

645
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: Joseph draped all over and he held onto it. And

646
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: that was a big That was a big play in

647
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: the game. That was a huge play. And that was

648
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: gathered standing up and the rush was closing in on

649
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: him and still he was able to hang on and

650
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: deliver that throw. But I'm telling you and do time.

651
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: Number fifty three is going to be a hell of

652
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: a pass rusher in this league, all right. I guy

653
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: that's played in this league and playing this league for

654
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: a long time joined us each every Monday metis Spencer Tillman.

655
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: He's great to talk to you after a loss because

656
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: he can break it down and simplify it and I'll

657
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: give you some perspective if you will here Spencer with

658
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: us this morning, the morning after. Spencer, what's your overall

659
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: take on the game yesterday in Nashville. Well, I mean,

660
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what the team is going to say.

661
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: I listened to players speak individually about it. Tarn Matthew

662
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: probably had the most acute and focus response. That is,

663
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: everybody's got to chest themselves. And that's a common response

664
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: when you're down, you know, but it's true. Everybody has

665
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: to be responsible, man. I mean, there's enough blame to

666
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: go around for everybody. The early execution, I think our

667
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: lack thereof that impacted the degree to which a familiar

668
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: friend now turnfoe, was able to effect the quarterback with

669
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: the looks they gave up fun and our inability along

670
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line to discerned what they were doing and

671
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: to get our assignments right. And I think that's caused

672
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: for concern because we can see when you do protect

673
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: number four that he's able to get the ball down

674
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: on the field. And then Will Fuller's presence just changed everything.

675
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: I mean, the respective that you had to give him

676
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: the single coverage, it just preaks a different dynamic. But

677
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: before you can even get to that level, you got

678
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: to protect the quarterback first. So I just think that

679
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: that kind of set the tone early for me. Too

680
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: many opportunities to get to number four early kind of

681
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: set a tone with execution that I didn't think was

682
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: really good hitting the organization because the more talented team

683
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: lost its name yesterday, Spencer, we were just talking about that.

684
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned Fuller, the Fuller touchdown that makes us seventeen fourteen.

685
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: We felt like that sequence leading up to that, they

686
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: basically had about two quarters of being dominant on defense.

687
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: The offense was kind of finding it screwed that seventeen

688
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: un answered. They were kind of on track. It felt

689
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: like that was the crucial moment of the game right there,

690
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: where they could really put Tennessee in a massive hole,

691
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: and then Gabert makes a play, then there's a fifteen

692
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 1: yard penalty. It felt like all that they had worked

693
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: uphill to get they sort of petered away, if you will,

694
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: all of that one place sequence when Gabert hit Stocker

695
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: on that on that bootleg play. What did you think

696
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: about that sequence and do you agree with it being

697
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: that vital at that point in the game. No, you

698
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: guys nailed it that that was the inflection point. No,

699
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: usually you can look at it either series or one

700
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: or two plays at the inflection point. That series and

701
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: those series of plays was inflection point, because I guarantee

702
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: you blame. Gabert did not look like a backup quarterback

703
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: on that series, and the compliment the way they mixed

704
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: the path in the run did it a couple of

705
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: favorable calls in that prod Esson than our you know,

706
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: having a marquee player not suited up impact the game

707
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: and the way that he did. And as I looked

708
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: at the tape again and again and again, guys, listen,

709
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: I think that the tight end coming off the field

710
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: was actually made about a twelve degree bend towards JD,

711
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: and j D compounded it by opening his mouth and

712
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: really speaking, and that's what the offense was, and that's

713
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: what people tend to see. But if you just break

714
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: it down, you know the nuance, the body languages he's

715
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: coming off the field, He actually did move towards JD.

716
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: It was slight, and you have to be engaged and

717
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: know what to look for. But that little, defiant, little

718
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: twelve degree move was totally wiped away by the emotional

719
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 1: verbal response and that's what got us in trouble there.

720
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: And so yes, you're absolutely correct. It was that series

721
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: and those series of plays that was the inflection point

722
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: at which this game changed, because that before that point.

723
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: You're right, it looked like we had gotten control of

724
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: things and we're playing the way we should have been

725
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: playing all game long. But that was the pivotal series

726
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: in that game yesterday, Spencer also, Texans have the ball

727
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: first and ten at the Titan thirty nine yard line.

728
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: They moved a couple of yards and then they punt,

729
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: but the punt goes into the end zone. That was

730
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: an unfortunate series, to say the least, because they had

731
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: a chance to take the lead right there and we're

732
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: unable to execute. It's just little things, but they all

733
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: add up. The little things do add up, and one

734
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: little thing that was a huge thing. Guy. You know,

735
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm a special teams guy, but Nate rail Jamison's mistake. Listen,

736
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: here's the principle on special teams. When you're dealing with that,

737
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: your mind tells you down in distance, there's no way

738
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw a fake punt in this situation, backed

739
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: up between your thirty thirty five or whatever the specific

740
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: point was. The book says you never do that. But

741
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: they look at Tate. They're smart guys over there. They

742
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: see your safety's nosing around trying to give sugar lifts.

743
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: Up front to give the illusion that you're going to

744
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: try to go after the block, and you got a

745
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: guy that's naked out there, not uncovered. The ball moves

746
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: faster than the body. The science tells you there's no

747
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: way you can bail out to the wide side of

748
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: the field and get back to cover reasonably a south park.

749
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: You look at his execution, the way that that pass

750
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: was thrown, it was beautiful. He never hitched, never took

751
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: a fet step from a south proposition. He just stood

752
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: direct snap and threw it. That meant that if you

753
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: were going to get back there to coverage, you had

754
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: to be just like the flash, the human flash. No

755
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: way you could do that. It was just perfectly executed

756
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: at the right time, giving them up back to latitude

757
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 1: to make the call and make the play, and everybody

758
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: was in unison except the Texans just got burnt on that.

759
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: So that was a disappointing play for me to see

760
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: because that could have changed everything as well. Especially great point.

761
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: Him being left handed gave him that wide open side

762
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: of the field like he could see it. That's a

763
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: that's a great point. And of course, how do you

764
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: even know Kevin Bayer the safety and left handed at

765
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: that point, but either way you're right, and it became

766
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: a trudge trudging back up hill after giving up that touchdown. Especially,

767
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 1: one of the things that we've talked about along those

768
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: lines is the fact that they had seven possessions inside

769
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee's forty yard line yesterday, it only came up with

770
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: seventeen points, and that just that can't happen when you

771
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: have that sort of success, as Mark put it, from

772
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: the twenty five to the thirty five, What does a

773
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: team have to do? I don't know anything specifically. Well,

774
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: when you get inside the thirty five yard line on

775
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: the other side, what's the key to making sure that

776
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: you are efficient and getting at least three up on

777
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: the board instead of putting up nothing that really could

778
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: hurt you? Punt it twice once you got inside the

779
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: Tennessee forty yard line yesterday, and that can't happen either.

780
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: How can they be more effective once they get into

781
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: scoring territory? I think it always comes back down to details.

782
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you're on the offensive side of

783
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: the ball or the defensive side of the ball. It

784
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: could be run fits on defense on offense, that can

785
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: be angles that you attack people with and block with

786
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: on that first series, for example, I know you're talking

787
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: about a different part of the game, but in the

788
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: first series, I was watching Brian Griffin's angle that he

789
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: was coming to kick out a guy wide nine technique,

790
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: and he took a kind of an inside angle. I know,

791
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: you've got to clear the back and get out in

792
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: front of them to make the mess point work and

793
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: even be effective from a play action standpoint, but he

794
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: allowed contact on the quarterback as a result of his angle.

795
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: To me, it's about execution. If you just do your job,

796
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna mitigate the bad things that tend to happen.

797
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: You know. Listen, they pay their guys a lot of

798
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: money to stop you from doing what you've been coached

799
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: to do. You're not gonna win every one of those battles,

800
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: but what you can do is be in reasonable proximity

801
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: to what your assignment dictates to do, and then when

802
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: you find yourself in a position and make a play,

803
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: you gotta make it, you know. Even Tara Matthey mentioned

804
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: the fact that there were a couple of mistackles and

805
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: then and one of the mistackles you know happening on

806
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: Tajan Sailor's touchdown and he missed it, you know, and

807
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: he's a great player, we all know that. But executing

808
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: the play, executing your technique football is really basic and simple, blocking, tackling,

809
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: all those fundamental things you have to do it, and

810
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,959
Speaker 1: when you get in tight quarters it even becomes even

811
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: more important that you focus on those details. Well, now

812
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: you have the detail of playing in the New York Giants.

813
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: They lost to Dallas last night, both teams owing too,

814
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: but at least you're cutting home and it just feels

815
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: so late to be playing the home opener. But here

816
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: we are on Sunday. Spencer your thoughts, Yeah, I just

817
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: think they've got to play with confidence. They've got to,

818
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, have a snap and clear mentality and move on.

819
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: As difficult as that was, because that could potentially sting.

820
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: And I think Karren said something to this effect that

821
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: we're going to find out what kind of team we

822
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: have this week. And I do believe that from the

823
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: bottom of my heart. The home environment is going to

824
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: be great, But but they've got to get past that

825
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: and play as if they're almost on the road. They've

826
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: got to get that mentality going no matter where they play.

827
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: Become professionals. That's that's the bottom line for me. All Right, Spencer,

828
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: where are you with Fox this week? Big house man?

829
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: We got Nebraska Michigan. I hope this game, you know,

830
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: would have been a one that was a little bit

831
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: less unblemished. But Nebraska has got quarterback issues and so

832
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: they dropped one Detroit and it's gonna be tough, but

833
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of story lines and I'm

834
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: excited about that. All Right, Spencer, thanks a lot for

835
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: joining us. We appreciate it. All right, guys, take care

836
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: there you having folks, big thanks to Mark, to Andre,

837
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: to Spencer, to all of you for listening to my

838
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: guys back home in the studio of Sports Radio six ten.

840
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: Oh and two, turn this around. Gotta get a win

841
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday, There's no doubt about it. A little I

842
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: don't say desperate times, but I think this team at

843
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: home will feel the home crowd, and I think that

844
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 1: will definitely be a major assistance. We will see tomorrowny body.

845
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: We've got a jam packed day, there's no question. But

846
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: hang on tonight for Monday Night Football. Seattle Seahawks versus

847
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears right here in a flagship sports radio six

848
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: ten appreciate everybody will see tomorrow and has always go Texans.
