1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: In the Lab, a Texans podcast that takes a different

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: look at things to Doherty and John Harris have their

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: lab coats and goggles on and the Bunsen burners burning.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Here's Drew, Hello there, and welcome to this over Unders

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: edition Texans in the Lab album. I'm Drew Doherty. That's

00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: John with his jazzy hands, John Harris. Of course, we're

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: excited to be with you. John OTA's mini camp now

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: in the rearview Mirror officially, and they're on break for

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: another five weeks and change. Lots of other other NFL

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: teams around the league still doing their mini camps and

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: getting going. Most notably we've heard about the Jets and

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: what's going on with them, and a lot of the

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: AFC South teams really, all of them except for the Texans.

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: So and the Browns are doing it too.

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: But the Texans are finished, and with that, our attention

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: turns toward the fall. I know, we got to hit

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: August and all that other stuff in July as well,

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: but let's hit the field, let's get serious, let's do

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: some overrunders.

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: But before we do, you all right, man?

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, Overrunners are good. I always like them, and you know,

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 4: I love in a lab. So yeah, ready to roll, man,

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 4: let's go, let's go.

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, three point seven?

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: What the heck?

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: Three point seven? Man over under? Are the Texans gonna

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: hit that number or go under that number? Three point

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: seven yards per carry? That's what the average last year? Yeah,

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: on the ground, you know, you gotta go all the

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: way back to David Johnson and Deshaun Watson and Duke

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Johnson in twenty twenty for a Texans team that averaged

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: batter than four yards of carry in a season, they

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: were actually a four point six, which is not bad.

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: I was surprised by that.

35
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: I remember.

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: Anyways. Yeah, he's like, let's not go down that whole.

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: But twenty twenty they were over four yards of carry.

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Point six yards of carry. John they had nearly five

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: yards of carriag Now, I think.

40
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: A lot of that.

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: I would have never guessed that number.

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: Coming from behind all that stuff, and you know, maybe

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: softer defenses.

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so on so forth.

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: But do you think with Joe Mixon, with Damian Pierce,

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: with Daria Gumbwalle, Jwar Jordan, maybe someone else in the

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: mix as well?

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: Some runs by C. J.

49
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: Stroud and in a round or two or three or

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: four by Tank Dell and Xavier Hutchinson and maybe somebody else.

51
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: Does Andrew Beck get in the mix? Does the number rise?

52
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: Does the number fall? Evan's forbid, Evan forbid? What do

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: you think over under.

54
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: We're gonna go up, We're gonna go over. Yeah, we're

55
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: going over the three point seven. I mean even getting

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: into three point eight, which isn't a great number, but

57
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: just getting to three point eight in his own game,

58
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: So I'll take that. I think this offense is gonna

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: run the ball a whole heck of a lot better. Now,

60
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 4: you threw in one thing that can change the math

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: on this a little bit, and that's CJ. Stroud runs.

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: He didn't have a lot of quarterback sneaks. When CJ ran,

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 4: he dropped the throw, he'd look, he'd pick up seven

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: yards on a scramble. He pick up fifteen yards on

65
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: a scramble. And so you know, two runs for twenty

66
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: two yards. Al Right, he's up in the average a

67
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: little bit. But I just think overall, the run game

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: is just going to be better. I mean, I think

69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: bringing Joe Mixon in here was the right tonic. I

70
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: think that Damian Pierce in year two in this system

71
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: is going to be much better than he wasn't year one.

72
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: And then you mentioned some other guys, whether it's you know,

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: Dari or juor Jordan. I mean, who didn't know JJ Taylor,

74
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: maybe guys that maybe a lot of people don't even

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: know about that. We've been able to see dotas in

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: mini camp. I'm excited to see j J.

77
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: I don't even hear yet.

78
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's the other part, you don't even I mean,

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: I think about Derek Barnett. I saw video floating around

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: of him on Twitter yesterday and maybe think, man, we

81
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: didn't even know Derek Barnett until what late November here,

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: and he's just he's incredible down a stretch. So it's

83
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: it's out outside the route possibility to get the four.

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: Don't get greedy, but this offense gets the four yards

85
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: per carry. Just forget it. It's gonna be really difficult to.

86
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: Say, well, the pass caissing catching off that's exactly what

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: you have their weapon one, that's right, Okay, so you're

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: gonna go over all right, here's here's one. Okay, thirty

89
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: six point five Okay. Last year in the win over

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: the Bucks, the Texans allowed thirty seven points to Tampa Bay.

91
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Yeah, that was their worst per game

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: or in game defensive effort. Now, you scored thirty nine

93
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: and you won the game. But she gave up thirty

94
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: seven Three other times last season you gave up thirty

95
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: points or more in a game.

96
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: So thirty six and a half.

97
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: Over or under in a game, will that be the

98
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: worst in game defensive performance points wise by the Texans offense.

99
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: By the Texans offense, Sexans defense, Texans defense. I think

100
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 4: that I'm gonna go under. We're going under. I don't

101
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: see this defense. Now again, you can get into a shootout.

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 4: Happened last year against the Bucks. It was a game

103
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: where the Texans couldn't run the ball, the Bucks couldn't

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: run the ball, and so it turned into a throwing contest.

105
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: And there's probably one of those on this schedule at

106
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 4: some point. But I just don't see the Texans giving

107
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: up thirty seven in a game. There's gonna be a

108
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: gamer two in the thirties, probably just because of some

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: of the offenses that they're gonna be facing. But I

110
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: can also see in some of those games where they're

111
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: facing pretty good offenses. You know, those games are at home,

112
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: and the Texans, you know, jump up quickly and away

113
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: you go. But I'm gonna go under. I do think

114
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: there will be a game or two where teams will

115
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 4: score in the thirties, but not not many, and there

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: won't be any over thirty six and a half. There

117
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: won't be any thirty seven point numbers on this schedule

118
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four. So I'm going under with the

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: with the thought that, yes, there will be a couple

120
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 4: of thirty point games against them because the offenses they face.

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: Hey John will Anderson junior. Yeah, I know, he's entering

122
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: year two. He was then defensive Rookie the Year last year.

123
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: Oh hey John daneil Hunter coming off sixteen and a

124
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 2: half sacks a career best. Yeah, he's got eighty seven

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: and change in his career. Still a pretty young man. Hey,

126
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: John Deniko Autry also coming off one of his career

127
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: best years. He had double digit sacks. So that three

128
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: headed monster, that holy trinity or unholy trinity combined over

129
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: under will they hit twenty four and a half sacks

130
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: as a recently.

131
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going on doubt. Yeah, I

132
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: don't no doubts a strong way of saying it.

133
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: Because if you just take what they did individually and

134
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: added up, they shatter it. But is that gonna be

135
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: able to Is that gonna happen? I mean, because is

136
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: one guy gonna get more or less because of the

137
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: other guy or the other guy, you know that type

138
00:06:59,640 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: of thing.

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 4: I well, it's a good number. I think they're gonna

140
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 4: get over it. I think I think one of those

141
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: guys gets the double digits. But I don't think I

142
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: think what Daniel's number was, like sixteen and a half, yes,

143
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: last year, sixteen, sixteen and a half something like that.

144
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: I don't know that any of them get to that number. Yeah,

145
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: but could I see them, you know, two of them

146
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 4: getting to eleven eleven and a half, Yes, absolutely, I

147
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: could see that. I think they're gonna be able to

148
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: create pressure from a lot of different angles and spots

149
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: in places and do different things and scheme wise mix

150
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: things up. So I do think that's a number that's very,

151
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: very reachable from those from those three and again you

152
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: said twenty four, I mean that's eight roughly on average.

153
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna be able to get there because

154
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: to the point earlier. They're gonna score points, they're gonna

155
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: put pressure out of their offenses to have to match

156
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: those points, and in so doing, they're gonna have to

157
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: throw the ball. To be able to throw it, they

158
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: gotta protect and those guys.

159
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: Fans to wring them up. Absolutely.

160
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have a lot more, lot more bucket

161
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 4: opportunities if you will.

162
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that number eight, you know, because

163
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: you multiply it by three when you're twenty four, and

164
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: that's you know, half a sack under what I said

165
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: as the over underline, you get three guys who get

166
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: eight sacks apiece. That's a problem. That's a that's a

167
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: good problem. It's a good problem for you, and that's

168
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: a real big problem for opposing offensive lines absolutely, offensive

169
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: coordinators and quarterbacks. Okay, so that's that three three headed monster.

170
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: But as a whole Texans defense last year they had

171
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: forty six sacks as a team during the season. So

172
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: let's set the over under forty five point five over under,

173
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: more sacks than last year, less sex than last year.

174
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: I feel like for the things we just said, and

175
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: for the fact that you'll have more teams throwing the

176
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 4: ball against an offense. Hopefully that's gonna put up some points.

177
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: So they've got to chase. And because they're chasing, you

178
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: can go chase their quarterbacks. So I think they're gonna

179
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 4: have more oppert cotunities. Now, that's a pretty salty number

180
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: that the Texans got to last year.

181
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: I think it's two point seven per game.

182
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think sometimes I can't forget that was one

183
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: of the was that the that was the best in history.

184
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: But it it's pretty close in Texans history. So it's

185
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 4: gonna be tough to match that number. The only way

186
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: you would have been able to do it is if

187
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 4: you added Daniel Hunter and you added Deniico Autry and

188
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 4: oh oh yeah, and Will Anderson is going to his

189
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: second year. Well yeah, you're gonna go over it. And

190
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 4: you know, you know, I mentioned Derek Barnett. So to me,

191
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: the way you were gonna get over that number replacing

192
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 4: John Grenard who had a number of sackson Look, don't

193
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 4: discount blitzes, Jalen Peatrick, Christian Harris, them pitching in three four,

194
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: five sack years into that full number. Because the first

195
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: number you asked about was twenty four. That was just

196
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: three guys now Hunter Autry and will get some help

197
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: from Derek Barnett. They get some help from the blitzers,

198
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 4: from the line back to get to that total number.

199
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: So I think that number is doable. It's gonna be hard,

200
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 4: and I think it's over, but not not by an

201
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 4: excessive amount just because that's such a difficult number to

202
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: get to.

203
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is okay, So that sacks. Let's stick with

204
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: the defense over under thirteen and a half. Last year,

205
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 2: you had fourteen interceptions as a team. Stingley led the

206
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: way with five of them thirteen point five. I INT's

207
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: over under. I said that about Stingley, But factor in

208
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: you've got Jalen Petree.

209
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: In year two.

210
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: Yep.

211
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: Do we see more of Jimmy Ward because he was

212
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: injured a good chunk last year. Does Kaylin Bulloch make

213
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: a name for himself? What do we see Kamar Lasser

214
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: corner from Kamara last year? So keep those of them

215
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: and and keep in mind tie it into what we

216
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: were talking about just about four minutes ago. The defenses,

217
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: the front sevens pass rush. What can they do as

218
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: far as getting to the quarterback when they don't get

219
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: the sack? Are they messing them up right having them throw.

220
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: Aarrently, I'm gonna go under on this one, okay, because

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: I feel like it'll be one of the other I

222
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 4: feel like they're gonna get They're either gonna have more

223
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: takeaways or they're gonna have more sacks. And since the

224
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: sack question was first and I was positive about that,

225
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: so we'll go with that first and then the interceptions.

226
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: I would love for them to be there, but I

227
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 4: just think they're gonna be able to get to quarterbacks

228
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 4: more often. Teams are not gonna make dumb mistakes and

229
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: just try and throw it out there like Joe Flacco did,

230
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: and they'll eat it. They'll take sacks, but they won't

231
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: give up as many interceptions. Now, I do think they'll

232
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: be in the in the eleventh through thirteen range, but

233
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna fall just short of last year.

234
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 4: Teams are not gonna throw much at Stingley, and I

235
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: would love to see Kamari make them pay with six

236
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: seven interceptions, but I don't know how doable that is. Boy,

237
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: I'd love to be able to get there over forty

238
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: six and a half, get the fifty sacks, get the

239
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 4: fifteen interceptions. Be interesting to look back at teams that

240
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 4: have gotten to those numbers. What teams did that had

241
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: fifty sacks and fifteen interceptions in a season.

242
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

243
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: It's kind of interesting number to be able to look at.

244
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't, and I don't know that.

245
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't either. I'm just kind of throwing it

246
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: out there as benchmars. I'm gonna go under just so

247
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: I'm not a total homer for all of these. But

248
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: I do think that they'll get more sacks because of

249
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: the ops. They'll get for that, and then they will interceptions.

250
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 4: I think teams are going to be teams are gonna

251
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: they're gonna play. Look, first of all, they're gonna play

252
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: some smarter quarterbacks, some veteran quarterbacks, some guys that don't

253
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: throw a lot of interceptions historically, right. But I hope

254
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 4: they get over that number. I just think it'll fall

255
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: a little bit short.

256
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so picked off the ball fourteen times as a

257
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: team last year, it's just interceptions, yep. Okay, you also

258
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: had ten fumble recoveries. Wow, on offense and special teams combined.

259
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: So you only turn the ball over as a team

260
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: fourteen times last year? You were plus ten turnover differential,

261
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: which was a top five mark, tied for top five,

262
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: But you led the NFL with just fourteen giveaways. Fourteen turnovers,

263
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: right all right? So with that in mind, twenty four

264
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: was the takeaway total. You had, those fourteen picks, you

265
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: had the ten fumble recovers, over under twenty three and

266
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: a half takeaways.

267
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: Does this defense get there?

268
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go under, but not by much. I think

269
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 4: it's gonna be anywhere between eighteen to twenty takeaways.

270
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: Do you think it's mainly just because of the cleanliness

271
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: and high quality quarterback player in the sea.

272
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: I think it's both. The thing is two things. Number One,

273
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: I think it'll be quarterbacks that in particular make decisions

274
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: to eat it, take a sack, or throw it away

275
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 4: as opposed to throwing the covers like Joe Flacco did

276
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: last year in the playoff game as an example. Now,

277
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: you do face some quarterbacks, you face some younger quarterbacks.

278
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 4: You might be able to take advantage of that. But

279
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: I just think on the whole, you face a veteran

280
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: crew of guys, and because you're facing a veteran crew guys,

281
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if you get many interception opportunities and

282
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: the fumbles. I mean, look, you get to a point

283
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: where you of the football guys are punching it out,

284
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 4: they work on it. You know, this defense is really

285
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 4: good working on that. But I feel like some of

286
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 4: that has got a little mix of luck in there

287
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 4: as well. So I'm gonna say that it's under twenty four,

288
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: but I still think it's a healthy number that the

289
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 4: Texans will offense will do something with it. Whether they

290
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: get eighteen nineteen twenty, they'll be I think better scoring

291
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: off of those turnovers than maybe they were even last year.

292
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: So they can survive with eighteen to twenty overall. But

293
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: they're getting a lot more sacks. And look, you would think, oh,

294
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: you get more sacks, I'll lead to more third and longs.

295
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 4: It leads to more risky situations with quarterbacks. I don't know.

296
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: I think it's depends on the quarterbacks you face, and

297
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: I think this be this will be a pretty salty

298
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 4: group of quarterbacks. So I'm gonna go under the twenty

299
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: four under. Okay, under twenty three and a half, sorry,

300
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: under twenty three and a half. All right, Well, since

301
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 4: it's mid June, we got to wrap it up with

302
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: this one. Okay, what is your faceavorite all time summer blockbuster.

303
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: Movie that you saw in the theater? Ever?

304
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: Uh, now I'm going back, man, I'm trying to think, well,

305
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 4: go back, that's fun. Ummer.

306
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: There's old people that watch and listen to this too.

307
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, Dave Power, Yeah, Dave, Dave's listening. I'd

308
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 4: have to look up because I want.

309
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,120
