1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody?

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 2: Welcome in to a Friday edition, a TGIF edition.

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Of Texans All Access from the Hundae Texans Radio Studio.

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: I am John Harris, your host, your friend, your pal,

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: also sideline reporter for the team and football analysts doing

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of multi media stuff. Hopefully you saw my

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: breakdown at Stephen Nelson's interception. Go on to my Twitter

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: page at your Harris Football if you want to see that.

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: A little forty five quick burst of telestrator knowledge coming

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: at you on that one. And we've got plenty of

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: that knowledge for you this evening as we get ready

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: to go to Atlanta tomorrow to take on the Atlanta

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: Falcons at Mercedes Benz Stadium. A few interesting nuggets and

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: numbers in this one. The Falcons are four to zero

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: under Desmond Ridder at Mercedes Benz Stadium as a starting quarterback.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: They're own four other places. So he's good at home.

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: That's not good.

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: We don't need that. We don't need that to happen. Also,

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: the Texans have never beaten the Falcons in Atlanta. That's

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: another streak we need to get broken. But a lot

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: of things we've got to discuss we'll have my keys

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: and my predictions later on, but we've also got to

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: hear from Demika Ryans. We're gonna hear from Jalen Petrie,

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna hear from Robert Woods. We are going to

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: hear from Brevan Jordan. We're also gonna hear from de

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: Orlando Ledbetter, who covers the falcons for the Ajac and

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: Lanta Dural Constitution.

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: So we've got plenty to do on this Friday night show.

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 3: And of course Mark's gonna stop by and give his

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 3: thoughts on a number of things about this game, but

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: also something that I saw on Twitter today that I

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: want to bring up with Mark. We'll do that a

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 3: little bit later, because now it's time to hear from

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: two people who, well, there's a mutual admiration society for

35
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: the two guests we're about to have Demiko Ryans and

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: Jalen Peatrie. And Tmiko has said before that he was really,

37
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: really a big fan of Petrie coming out of college,

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: and Petrick was very very excited obviously with Demika Ryans

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: to go over as head coach here. So let's hear

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: from them separately. Is Demico Ryans caught up with Mark

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: Vander's first.

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: All right, coach, I know you said a high standard

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: in practice always. This week, coming off back to back wins,

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: you practiced a little inside, a little outside.

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 5: How's it been getting ready for the Falcons.

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 6: It's been good, you know, had a little adversity with

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 6: the storms coming through the city, but it's been good.

48
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 6: We practiced inside the stadium, which was a good change

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 6: up for our guys. Had a really good practice on Thursday,

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 6: and Friday we came out and another good practice. Guys

51
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 6: were locked into the details moving around. Everybody's feeling good,

52
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 6: so excited with the preparation.

53
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: This week, everybody's talking about stopping the run. So let's

54
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: talk about stopping the run.

55
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 7: Coach.

56
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: What's that gonna take up front for your guys?

57
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 6: Stopping the run, as first, is gonna start with our edgesetters,

58
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 6: so on our defensive ends, like they have to. I

59
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 6: call it putting up the stop sign, right, you have

60
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 6: to put up the stop sign until the backs.

61
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Hey you're not coming here. You gotta go to the

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: other direction.

63
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 6: It starts with those guys, and then we said we

64
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 6: call it where we set the edge on the front

65
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 6: side and then our backside guys they have to close.

66
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 6: You have to close. This offensive line is very athletic.

67
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 6: They're fast, they're gonna run, they're gonna get up to

68
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 6: the second level. And they also cut block on the backside.

69
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 6: So can our guys stay alive on the backside and close.

70
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 6: That'll be the key to stopping a run this week.

71
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 4: What about Ritter and the passing game. They have Patterson

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: now and he provides another dimension. I know he's a back,

73
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: but he does a little bit of everything.

74
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 5: They can dump it off to him. What about the

75
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 5: passing game, coach.

76
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 6: And with their passing game, they run the ball so well,

77
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 6: and they run it a lot to where their play

78
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 6: action pass game. You'll see a lot of times where

79
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 6: guys are running down the field wide open because everyone

80
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 6: is selling out for the run and you kind of

81
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 6: as a pass defender corners, safeties back, you kind of

82
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: get kind of forget the passing game and then bam,

83
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 6: it's on you as quick quickly then you can recognize.

84
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 6: And so guys have to be great with their eyes

85
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 6: this week. You have to be great with your eyes.

86
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: You have to be alert for the play action pass game.

87
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 6: That's where they've been most successful.

88
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: Your running game I know you've had a lot of

89
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: mixing and matching to do on the old line, but

90
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: is this about also learning the system and being effective

91
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: with the backs and the old line working in concert.

92
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 5: As it's improved every week.

93
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 6: It's improved every week because of the intent to detail

94
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 6: and finishing our blocks, Like we've been closed a lot.

95
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 6: I think last week versus the Steelers, we finished our blocks.

96
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 6: Guys stayed consistent, they stayed, they finished through the whistle,

97
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 6: and that allowed us to hit some explosive runs. And

98
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 6: you see what DP can do when he has the

99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 6: ball in his hands, he can make He can make

100
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 6: a lot of explosive runs that are And it's also

101
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 6: coming down to offensively, like what can our guys do well?

102
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 6: Like there are a lot of different run schemes out there,

103
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 6: but what do our guys do well? How can we

104
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 6: excele how can we move the ball versus that opponent?

105
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 6: And think Bobby has done a really good job of

106
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 6: mixing it up.

107
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 4: How much of your game plan now is Hey, they've

108
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 4: seen some of the things we do and we have

109
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: to anticipate what they're going to do to the Texans? Now,

110
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 4: how much of it is that it's.

111
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 6: A lot of that. You have to understand, right, what

112
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 6: have you called? What have you shown on tape?

113
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 8: Right?

114
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: What are they going to attack? And you have to

115
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 6: be prepared to counteract that. I know we've shown a

116
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 6: lot of this. Now let's do something a little different,

117
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 6: but making sure it's all within the scheme of what

118
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 6: your guys can do.

119
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 9: Well.

120
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: All right, So they say the roof is going to

121
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: be open, whatever roof there is. What about being in

122
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: this building? What's unique about it?

123
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 6: It's really unique building with the dome and the way

124
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 6: it opens up is a pretty pretty cool building.

125
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Huge building.

126
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 6: But it'll be fun for our guys, first time for

127
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 6: a lot of guys playing inside their stadium. There to

128
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 6: be a fun experience for us. But hey, it doesn't

129
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 6: matter where we play. We're ready to go. We have

130
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 6: to play in the parking lot. We'll be ready to go.

131
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: Coach, Thanks a lot, good luck, all right, thank you.

132
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: I love that anywhere, anytime, mentality. Give that to me

133
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: all day, every day. Put it right in my veins.

134
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: I love it. And a guy that embodies that every

135
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: single time he steps on a field is Jalen Petree.

136
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: That's right, the Houston home boy from out of Stafford

137
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: caught up with another Houston home boy, Drew Doherty.

138
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: Let's hear Jalen Andrew.

139
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 8: Jalen Petrie joins US now taking on the Atlanta Flkins

140
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 8: this week. The defense last couple weeks for the Texans,

141
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 8: it's been doing some nice things.

142
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 10: What's happening a lot, you know, a lot of swarming,

143
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 10: a lot of getting to the ball, being disruptive and yeah,

144
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 10: just trying to make a lot of plays.

145
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 11: How do you maintain that momentum?

146
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 10: Just doing what you know you're supposed to do, being

147
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 10: where he's supposed to be, and you know, preparing the

148
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 10: right way. Our coaches are doing a great job at

149
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 10: preparings for the week. It's just about, you know, trusting

150
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 10: that and going out and executing.

151
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 8: It was fun talking to you after the win last week.

152
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 8: It was a second straight wire to wire just domination

153
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 8: of a team. It was your first game back in

154
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 8: a while. What's it like getting to be out there

155
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 8: with Jimmy Ward both captains, first time to play together,

156
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 8: and you think things marinate and get better as it

157
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 8: goes along. What was it like being with him and

158
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 8: what do you think it's gonna be like going forward?

159
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 10: Oh, it was turned like right before we went out

160
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 10: for the first drive, we had smacking each other like

161
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 10: he trying to get already, and it's just good energy

162
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 10: on the field.

163
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 7: You know, he's a good communicator.

164
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 10: I mean he brings it every time he's out there,

165
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 10: so you know, just having that on the field me

166
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 10: is always good to you know, have that type of

167
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 10: energy and just to have us both just bouncing that

168
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 10: off each other, it was real fun to get out

169
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 10: there with them.

170
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 8: Speaking of energy, Okay, you guys come back last week.

171
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 8: There are more guys on both sides of the ball

172
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 8: coming back this week. It's looking like what does that

173
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 8: do for energy of the team, considering you guys have

174
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 8: also won a couple games without them.

175
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 10: I think it just makes you hungry if you aren't

176
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 10: playing like me, I sat off for two games, it

177
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 10: just makes you ready to get back and you know,

178
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 10: be able to contribute to the team. You see that

179
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 10: the team is having success, so you want to just

180
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 10: continue to help out as much as possible and continue to,

181
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 10: like you.

182
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 7: Said, bring that good energy. That's what is really ultimately about.

183
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 8: You were named captain before the season, not the first

184
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 8: time you've been in a leadership role in a football sense,

185
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 8: but first time in the NFL you've had that c

186
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 8: on your chest.

187
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 11: What's that been like for you the last month.

188
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 10: I always been wonderful, very thankful that my teammates chose

189
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 10: me to be in that position, and you know, I

190
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 10: take that very serious and I'm looking forward to, you know,

191
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 10: continue to serve our team as much as I can

192
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 10: and continue to help out as many as I can.

193
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 11: All Right.

194
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 8: The quarterback on the other side of the ball, Desmond Ritter,

195
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 8: had a tough go of it, as that whole team

196
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 8: did last week in London.

197
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 11: What's the to getting to Ritter?

198
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 10: I think just being on your assignment, making sure that

199
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 10: you're where you're supposed to be, and making it hard

200
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 10: for him, you know, showing him a lot of different things,

201
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 10: and you know, just communicating out there.

202
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 7: On the field with your teammates.

203
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 10: I feel like if we're all on the same page,

204
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 10: it's gonna make it very hard for him, and you know,

205
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 10: that's what we're looking to do coming Sunday.

206
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 8: One of the weapons it's most prominently mentioned around him

207
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 8: is Bjon Robinson. The last time you saw Bjeon Robinson,

208
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 8: you were playing for Baylor. He was playing for Texas.

209
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 8: I think he had a sack, a TfL, a force fumble,

210
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 8: a fumble recovery, and the Bears won that game.

211
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 11: You played pretty well against him. But who is this guy? Now?

212
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 11: What type of player is Bijon Robinson?

213
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 12: Oh?

214
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 10: Electric playmaker, a guy that could do it all. He

215
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 10: could run the ball, he could catch it out the backfield.

216
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 10: Shifty playmaker. So you know, I'm looking forward to that

217
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 10: challenge and you know it's gonna be another good one

218
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 10: on Sunday.

219
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 8: How much do you relish playing on the road as

220
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 8: a defensive player.

221
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 7: Oh, I love going on the road.

222
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 10: Obviously, it gets a little bit quieter, but it's fun

223
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 10: to go into somebody else's territory and have that, you know,

224
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 10: chip on your shoulder and you know feel that and

225
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 10: I'm against you. It's always fun to be kind of

226
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 10: a villain for the week going into somebody else's house.

227
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 8: All Right, you're not a villain around here, but we

228
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 8: hope that villain status remains the case in Atlanta against

229
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 8: the Falcons. Jalen Petrie, thanks so much for the time,

230
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 8: best of luck.

231
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Appreciate you all. Great stuff from two of our favorites

232
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: in this building. Jalen Petrie and Dimiko Ryans. Mark, you

233
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: obviously sat across from Tomiko. What's your vibe that you

234
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: get from Dimiko for this one against Atlanta? Might need

235
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: you to slap me or like throw well because Johnny

236
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: I constantly and not.

237
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: Every second of the day, but I do go through

238
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: this from time to time throughout the course of a week.

239
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 5: Demiko Ryans is our head coach.

240
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: Yes, that's awesome. You have that moment. Yep.

241
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have that moment.

242
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 11: I do.

243
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: I had it throughout the off season and I'm having

244
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 4: it now. And the Texans are two and two winners

245
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: of two in a row, trying to make it three

246
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: in a.

247
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Row at Atlanta, and I'm all in.

248
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: And Dimiko does these off the record sessions on Friday

249
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: for the media, yep. And the way he was speaking

250
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: out there about his players and his approach toward things,

251
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: I just thought, my gosh, what a breath of fresh

252
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 4: air this man is for this organization, this way of

253
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: life in the NFL. I really think he has it.

254
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: Maybe it's not the most unique thing in the world, but.

255
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

256
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 5: It's different from anything I've ever been around.

257
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 4: There's total discipline, and commitment, yet there's this, Hey, you're

258
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: an individual, you can express yourself.

259
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: It's a shared goal that.

260
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: We all have to win these games get better. And

261
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: you know, I know a lot of coaches feel that way,

262
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: but there's just something about the way he lives it

263
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 4: with the players. And look, it's early here, but I

264
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 4: love this start. They're off too.

265
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do the same. I drive home and think, well, yeah,

266
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: he's our coach. Our coaching staff is really good. You know,

267
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: we had a chance to talk to Bobby Slowik and

268
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: you'll hear a interview with Coach Slowak in our next segment,

269
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: and I just remember thinking, man, when we got done

270
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: with coach sloc Is, kind of the same thing, was like,

271
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: he's our offensive car, he's our offensive court, and here's

272
00:10:58,559 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: the one calling the ball plays.

273
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, wow.

274
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 1: I like this. And that's no disrespect to anybody that's

275
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: come before, but there's just is there this kind of

276
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: this release of Okay. One of the things that Nick

277
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: said to us Tuesday or Wednesday, whenever we talked to him,

278
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: that I can't get out of my head because I

279
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: found it very interesting because it was my whole philosophy.

280
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: So back in twenty twenty two, my family was out

281
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: in LA and we decided to sell the house. Basically,

282
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: I decided it because we need to sell the house.

283
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: We weren't needing all that space anymore. We need the

284
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: money do all that kind of stuff. So my wife

285
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: would come up with all these questions, what are you

286
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna do about this? What about this? What about this?

287
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: And I kept saying, we'll figure it out, babe, Yeah,

288
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. And Nick said almost that very

289
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: thing that he and Demico have just taken the stance of, Okay,

290
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out, solve the problem. We lost too,

291
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: offens Lineman, we'll figure it out. Yeah, you know Bobby slowik,

292
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't have this guy for this play. We'll figure

293
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: it out.

294
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: Well, remember what Deviko said to us on Monday, going

295
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 4: into Chris Strosser's office the Offensive Fronts, saying, hey, we

296
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: have another situation.

297
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: We just too here whatever the case may be, right,

298
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: and you just say, all right, we'll figure it out.

299
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: And I just love that mantra because you don't let

300
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: the yeah but what if in well what if this?

301
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 12: Yeah?

302
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: Well what about that?

303
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: What are gonna do with this? What about that? I

304
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: don't know, but we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.

305
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: We'll come to the best solution that we can, doing

306
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: the best that we possibly can with whatever situation is

307
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: has been given us. It isn't woe is me. Look

308
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: at all these injuries. It isn't it's easy. We just

309
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: put this guy here in that and we're no. You

310
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: just go through and find the best answer for what

311
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: you have. It's to me the equivalent of here's the

312
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: chop basket from Food Network. You've got gummy bears, you've

313
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: got the New York City phone Book, you've got vodka,

314
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: and you've got chicken. Go make something. Let's make something. Yeah,

315
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: And that's what they've had to do.

316
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 11: Now.

317
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't know who the New York City phone Book is,

318
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: but you've got to figure it out and what pieces

319
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: do you have to figure it out? And hopefully this

320
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: week there are some pieces coming back that we'll be

321
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: able to have which will help things against Atlanta. So

322
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I still get that that vibe. Okay man, Atlanta's really good. Bijeon,

323
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: How are gonna start, Jean, I don't know how we're

324
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna do this offensive line could play really well as

325
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: Ritters four and oh in his starts at Mercedes Been

326
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: Stadium and the oculus is gonna be open. Oh no,

327
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: Like I still go into that mode at bits. Yeah,

328
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: that going to that mode a little bit. But then

329
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: to your point, all right, figure it out, Yeah, figure

330
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: it out. And I don't know.

331
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 4: Look, they they're not good enough to say nobody scares us,

332
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: but I think they kind of have that feeling Johnny, Yeah,

333
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: that nobody's gonna scare them because they know that they

334
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: have things to worry about that they can control it, right,

335
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: their own performance, They can control that.

336
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 5: And can they take it to the opponent.

337
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 4: Well, they've done it the last couple of weeks, and

338
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 4: they did it in the second half against the Colts,

339
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 4: and maybe they can do it again against the Atlanta Falcons.

340
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: I just love their attitude of the can do spirit.

341
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: Like you say, maybe there's a better way of putting it,

342
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: but that's what it is, right, And I just love

343
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 4: the way Strata is going. And isn't he returning to

344
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 4: the building where the Georgia game was. Wouldn't that be

345
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: nice to sort of rectify that little situation? Played so

346
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: well in that building and look, as you heard the

347
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 4: coach say, we could play in a parking lot, doesn't matter,

348
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 4: but it is a unique place to go. You and

349
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: I have never been there before for an NFL game,

350
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: and let's see how it goes when the Texans take

351
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: on the Falcons, a place where they have never won.

352
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: So I want to get that one done, get this accomplished.

353
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: When in Atlanta for the first time. Now you've only

354
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: been there, what in seven and fifteen. This is only

355
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: a third visit ever to Atlanta, and both the others

356
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: were at the Georgia Dome.

357
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: Right, And maybe it was the Georgia Dome that was

358
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: the problem, That's what it was. Maybe that was the problem.

359
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Maybe our dome, yes, State Dome was the issue. Now

360
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: they're gone. This will complete the set, though, This will

361
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: complete the set for us, all thirty two stadiums.

362
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: Until the Jags moved to London and move into their

363
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: own Jaguars States.

364
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: They go into Wembley and we've been there, so yeah.

365
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: If they moved to London, I guess they would play

366
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: at Wembley or would they need another facility.

367
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 5: There's no way you're can.

368
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: They've got to have their own team facility. I would imagine, well.

369
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: They need a facility, but I think they would play

370
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 4: at Wembley because you can't afford to build a stadium

371
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: in England.

372
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 5: Can you imagine that on top of everything else.

373
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: I know Tottenham did it, Yeah they did. But Tottenham

374
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: did it with the thought of they would get some

375
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: of these NFL games, and now they're getting them. There

376
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: have been some people that are tweeting pictures apparently the

377
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: Bill's new stadium that they're putting in that big parking

378
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: lot across the street of where their current stadium is now.

379
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: The Bill's new stadium is modeled after the Tottenham stadium.

380
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: Oh so the Bills being over there, a lot of

381
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Bills fans and a lot of Bills media going, hey,

382
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: take a look at the stadium because this is the

383
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is kind of the model that they're

384
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: using for the Buffalo Bill.

385
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 4: Make that Bill Stadium too nice, I know, can't be

386
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: too nice. Gotta have some Bills presence there.

387
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how the Buffalo Bands, Bill's fans feel,

388
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: how Bill's mafia feels about it, but I've told Sally this,

389
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite places to go for a game.

390
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: Outside the fact that they were really good in twenty

391
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: twenty one. It's one of my favorite places to go.

392
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: I love that stadium. I love the intimacy of it

393
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: right on top of you. I love that place. Yeah,

394
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: I would hope that they still have that. Yeah.

395
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: You know one thing about this stadium.

396
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: This stadium is now twenty one years old, right, Yeah,

397
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: but this stadium has NRG stadium has great site lines.

398
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: It's a terrific place to watch a game. I love

399
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: going to Dallas just for the spectacle of it, But

400
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: I don't think that's such a great place to watch

401
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: a football game. It's just cool to be there and

402
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: once it's the big TV and the dancers and the

403
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: bands and all the.

404
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: Other stuff, and people watch.

405
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: This place is a gigantic arena to play football, and

406
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 4: I've always felt that way from the first time I

407
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 4: saw it. The more places we go, the more I

408
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: believe in this. This place is sitelines the experience and

409
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: got to get it cranked up again. I love what

410
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: Stroud said about the fans and Dimiko said this week,

411
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: we want the fans to feel good when they leave

412
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 4: the stadium. Well, that'll be next week, next opportunity to

413
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 4: do that when they take out the New Orleans Saints.

414
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: But this week, it's gonna be all about Atlanta on

415
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: the road. Okay, I know we're gonna talk a lot

416
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: of football on this show, but I saw this, and

417
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: we've got text show you this weekend. You mentioned CJ. Stroud,

418
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State taken on Michigan. Some great great rivalries in sport.

419
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Dave Damashek, who does a lot for NFL dot Com

420
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: NFL Network, he came up with this. I want to

421
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on this. He came up with the

422
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: best non divisional or non conference rivalries. So Ohio State

423
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Michigan can't go in this text show, you can't go

424
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: in this.

425
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 5: I got one.

Speaker 5: I mean NFC and AFC are conferences.

440
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: But come on, yeah, yeah, I like Miami Florida State

443
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 4: Florida Miami doesn't always get played, but that should be played.

444
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 5: But what are you gonna do?

445
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: We're talking to last week? Gosh, there was an interview

446
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: that I saw. I can't remember where it was, and

447
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: it was a it was a hurricane we were talking to,

448
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: and it got on the question about Florida and you

449
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: just saw this kind of like was it Paramount? Maybe

450
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: it was Denzel No, I don't think it was Denzel. Gosh,

451
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: I can't remember where it was. But they made a

452
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: comment about, yeah, you know, the Hurricanes don't like the Gators.

453
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 5: They called the Gator. Yeah, the Gator.

454
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: Seem like, wow, that's a bad one. I mean, I

455
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: didn't realize it had that sort of vitriol.

456
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 5: It's bad. It's very bad.

457
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 4: They hate Florida And I didn't know all about it

458
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 4: until I got down there, and then I learned about

459
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: John Reeves and Gator Flop and the history of it

460
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 4: all started it. We don't have to get into all

461
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 4: of the the Sugar Bowl. In two thousands of Bourbon Street, I.

462
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 5: Did that game.

463
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: That was awesome, the Fight on Bourbon Street. The game itself.

464
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: The ibis getting a fifteen yard penalty. So when your

465
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 4: mascot gets a fifteen yard celebration penalty in the end zone,

466
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: you know it's on. And that was that was on

467
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 4: top of another one. So Eric Severs had to kick

468
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: a fifty yard extra point after that and made it.

469
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: And he was with the Texans here for a minute

470
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: in camp. Yeah, but he made the fifty yard extra

471
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 4: point and that was the ultimate, Like we got.

472
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: Two fifteen yard it was the original get out.

473
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 4: We had to Yeah, we had to do thirty yards

474
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 4: backwards fifty yard extra points and he nailed it.

475
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 5: It was awesome. It was so good.

476
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: That's good. Is Lakers Celtics still number one? Though?

477
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 5: You know it's it's died down. Come on, let's be honest.

478
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 4: It was cool when they played in the finals when

479
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 4: you had the big three in Boston and Kobe and

480
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: Shaq was still there, right for that one. That was

481
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: cool to see them hook up in the finals again.

482
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: And did they go back to Kobe was there? Kobe

483
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: was there, Shack was good?

484
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 5: Did they go back to back?

485
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: What was the one the Lakers? Celtics won eight beating

486
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 1: the Lakers, and the Lakers turned around and won it

487
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: in nine over the Celtics, and then one, oh no,

488
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: they beat Orlando, you know, nine, turned around one in

489
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: twenty ten beating the Celtics. Okay, so they went back

490
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: to back in nine to ten, All right.

491
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 4: Well that's good for them. Look, they still didn't have

492
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: that buzz you know those finals that the eighties finals had,

493
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: and even.

494
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: The Settlers were vicious.

495
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so to me, it's not as good, but you know,

496
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 4: you harken back because even my kid, who's seventeen, enjoys

497
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 4: all that Larry Bird, magic, Johnson nostalgia.

498
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: That's cool stuff. I mean.

499
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 4: Look, and the Rockets are a small part of this

500
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 4: because they played the Celtics in eighty six and the

501
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 4: Rockets are the only Western Conference team to make the

502
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 4: finals in the eighties other than the Lakers, which I

503
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: think is an amazing stat that's unreal.

504
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: I would have put I would have put Cowboys Niners

505
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: ahead of Steelers Cowboys. I know they met the Super Bowl.

506
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: Like I get that. I just feel like that Cowboys

507
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers rivalry has had staying power for decades.

508
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: I mean in the seventies it was big when the

509
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys were really kind of rising in the early seventies.

510
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: In the eighties it was the Niners, and back in

511
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 1: the nineties it was both of them. You know. Then

512
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: they met this last year in a playoffs, the forty

513
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: nine Ers beat him. I feel like that's got more

514
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: staying power. I mean, the Steelers Cowboys was the last

515
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: time I mean they played in Super Bowl. Last when

516
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: they played, it was ninety five.

517
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not the same.

518
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean that was you know what, twenty eight.

519
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 4: Years ago, and that felt so removed from the seventies.

520
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah right, it just didn't feel the same.

521
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and then the so I don't know

522
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: that I put the Steelers Cows. I just thought it

523
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: was interesting to take a look at that from that standle,

524
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: this non divisional rivalry, you're a.

525
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: Bit of a soccer guy.

526
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 4: So you have the Premier League rivalries like the Manchester

527
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 4: Darby but that's within the league, right, So in the

528
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 4: Champions League, which I know is the same league, but

529
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 4: come on, is it man you Real Madrid?

530
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: Is there one like that? Now? It's Real Madrid and

531
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Man City. They've met the last I think three years.

532
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Oh that's huge. I think it's been the last three

533
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: years they've met in the semifinal round and I think

534
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: it was two years ago where Man City had to

535
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: they they lost, They lost, I think at their place.

536
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: So they're down a goal and it's it's two game

537
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: agriate goalscorer, so they're down a goal and so they

538
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: go to the second game and Real Madrid goes up

539
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: a couple of goals in that game. They had to

540
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: score four goals to come back and win win the series.

541
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: But Real Madrid got him the year before and the

542
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: last year Man City got him a game. Man City

543
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: won everything last year they won Champions League, from the

544
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: Premier League, winn FA Cup, care About Cup. They won everything.

545
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: Last year. They didn't win the treble, they won the quadruple,

546
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: which I don't think any team in the Premier League

547
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: has done, but that's probably the one real Madrid. Man

548
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: City is kind of the new one. Before that, it

549
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: was everybody against Man You. Everybody taken on Man You

550
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: was a rivalry of some sort because everybody hated David Beckham,

551
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: which by the way, there's now a documentary on that.

552
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: Is that going to be worth it? I don't know,

553
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: But I got another one for you, Fraser Ali. How

554
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 4: many times do they meet? But look, I was a

555
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: little tiny kid when that was on, and let.

556
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 5: Me tell you something that crossed over into.

557
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: All of life everything.

558
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: It was on the cover of Time, which at the

559
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: time meant something, and you know, multiple covers and Sports

560
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 4: Illustrated and everybody talked about it. Everybody knew about it

561
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 4: Ali and Fraser, and I love Ali because not only

562
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: was he a great champion, he lost and he lost

563
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 4: all that time, but he also lost and then he

564
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 4: won it back and it's a tremendous overall story. Yeah,

565
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: you could watch the Will Smith movie, but I recommend

566
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: when we were Kings the Bubble in the Jungle documentary.

567
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely there was a famous quote and I can't remember

568
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: there was a writer who said this in seventy one

569
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: they fought for the first time. Raley had been out

570
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: of he had gotten back, he had been recommissioned back

571
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: into boxing after being out for a while with that

572
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: whole court case and everything. And so Fraser beat him

573
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: in Massive Square Garden and it was arguably the most

574
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: hyped sporting event the has ever been and it lived

575
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: up to the hype. Fraser knocked him out or not

576
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: knocked him out the fourteenth round, one by decision. Second fight,

577
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: Ali won it, so they're one to one and they're

578
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: going to a third fight, and I remember hearing a

579
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: boxing writer say they're not fighting for the world's heavyweight championship,

580
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: They're fighting for the championship of each other. And that

581
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: always stuck with me because there was nobody. I mean, yeah,

582
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: there were other great heavyweights, but it really was those two.

583
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 4: Foreman was really good back then, and Foreman was good

584
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 4: too until when we were kings, until he knocked him

585
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 4: out in Ziere.

586
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: And there have been great ones like Borg and McEnroe.

587
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: And I saw a thing on ESPN with Borg and McEnroe.

588
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: They were talking about how when Bjorn retired right after

589
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: the eighty one Wimbledon, when McEnroe finally beat him. McEnroe said,

590
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: I never I never got to those heights as a

591
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: player again because he brought it out of me. See

592
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: that's what that's amazing. I love hearing that.

593
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 4: That's what I always felt Lebron was missing in a

594
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 4: way other than the Warriors.

595
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 5: Okay, the Warriors brought out the best of Lebron.

596
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 4: He beat them, But I don't know if it captured

597
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 4: the same thing as magic. Larry and Michael never had that.

598
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: Michael never had another great one alongside. He had some

599
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: pretty good teams. The Jazz were a pretty good team. Yeah,

600
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: the Blazers, the Suns team that he beat was a

601
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 4: pretty good team, but it just didn't have the same

602
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 4: kind of buzz going on as Celtics Lakers in the eighties.

603
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 4: So love this subject because rivalries make it.

604
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 5: And as far as the.

605
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 4: Texans go, you know, we got the division guys, right,

606
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: we didn't got the Colts and got the Jags.

607
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 5: You got the Titans.

608
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, we all know the history of that.

609
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 4: We'll parley it into this later. Know what happens in

610
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 4: the next couple of years. You know, rivalry is born

611
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 4: of circumstance.

612
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: You never know, you start getting the playoffs and facing

613
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: a different team, and all of a sudden, you see

614
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: him for maybe a couple of years in a row,

615
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you've got a little something,

616
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: you know.

617
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 4: But well, let's see what happens in the final game

618
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 4: of the regular season.

619
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: All right, stop me. We're eighteen and not like last

620
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: year's didn't have any storylines. I don't want to talk

621
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: about that.

622
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 5: Okay, it was great, it was great, Thank goodness, it

623
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: was great.

624
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: But it's like all those storylines that came out of

625
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: that game was just I'm done one day at a time.

626
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: Falcons Next, you said it best, and how are the

627
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: text's going to go about beating the Falcons? Well off,

628
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: its coordinator Bobby Slog has some secrets and answers. We'll

629
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: get to him with us next. Right here in Texans

630
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: All Access.

631
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: Looking back to Friday Nation of Texans All Access from.

632
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: The Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am John Harris Football

633
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline reporter for your Ho's Texans and your

634
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: host each and every Friday. This is the tenth season

635
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: of doing it, and probably have as much fun on

636
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: these Friday night shows as I as I've had in

637
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: a long time now. When I was outlining the show,

638
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: outlining the show earlier, and I was telling you every

639
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: guests that was gonna be on, I failed to tell you.

640
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: About one really important host. And I feel.

641
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: Bad about it because I guarantee you this is somebody

642
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: that a lot of people have been talking about be

643
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: want to hear from. And for the first time since

644
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: he arrived in the building, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowek stepped

645
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: into the Day Texans Radio studio with Mark and I

646
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: and we had a blast, and I found out I

647
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: had a lot in common with one Bobby's flow, both

648
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: on the air and off. We're both engineering majors in college.

649
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: He's mechanical, I'm civil. He went to Michigan Tech. That

650
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: is where my cousin went to school. He's from Green Bay.

651
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: My uncle was a counselor, and I thought they were

652
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: a counselor. He was a counseler at Bobby school, but

653
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: that was not true. Bobby's at a different school than

654
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: Green Bay my parents. I grew up about forty five

655
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: minutes north of Green Bay where my parents are right now, Marionnett, Wisconsin.

656
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: So we had a lot in comment and a lot

657
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: to talk about with offensive coordinator Bobby Slowick joining.

658
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 4: Us now in the hun Day Texans Radio studio. It's

659
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 4: Bobby Slowick, offensive coordinator for your Texans.

660
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 5: Welcome coach.

661
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, awesome to be here.

662
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 4: Well, it's finally time that we had you here in

663
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: the studio at first time. Yeah, the maiden voyage after

664
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 4: all these months, here we go. All right, I want

665
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: to start here as you're having some success. Now, how

666
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: much of game planning is?

667
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 11: Hey?

668
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 4: I wonder what they're going to try to do to

669
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 4: us now and what can we do about what.

670
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: They might do?

671
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 5: It's a chess match, right, how do you see it?

672
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's endless. That always happens, you know. I think

673
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 9: the only week that really wasn't like that was Baltimore

674
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 9: because they're playing the guessing game. We're playing the guessing

675
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 9: game a little bit, so you kind of mix and match. Okay,

676
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 9: let's attack them, but also let's just do what we do.

677
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 9: And then after that it's it's constant. You know. Now,

678
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 9: what we find as as an offense and as a

679
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 9: group is you start to find out what you're really

680
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 9: good at, you know, uh, and and really things you

681
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 9: want to do a lot of and really focus and

682
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 9: hone in on and you know, eventually teams are going

683
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 9: to start trying to take that away, and that's why

684
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 9: you have to build offsets and you have to make

685
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 9: sure that you protect what you're good at with just

686
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 9: enough of the other things.

687
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: Coach, there are two engineers at this table, so you

688
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: and I understand science very very well. So I ask

689
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: you this question, play calling more art or more science?

690
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 9: Definitely both? Definitely both, I feel like, and you know,

691
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 9: I'm still young in it, to be fair, but from

692
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 9: my experiences so far, I'd say there's depth. There's, without

693
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 9: a doubt, there's a science to how you construct the

694
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 9: game plan and how you want to approach using it

695
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 9: in particular early on, and then I think there's a

696
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 9: there's a big art the later the game gets. And

697
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 9: that's really what I'm learning as we go, is you know,

698
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 9: because at that point you get into more adjustments, you

699
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 9: get into Okay, now this is what they're doing to this,

700
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 9: what do we have to change? What can we keep doing?

701
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 9: How do we set something up in the second quarter

702
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 9: that we want to call in.

703
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 11: The fourth quarter.

704
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 9: So that part, I think is largely an art. Thankfully

705
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 9: I happened to be around. One of the guys I

706
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 9: thought was, you know, one of the best in the

707
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 9: NFL in San Francisco that I learned a lot from.

708
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 4: And your quarterback. The more he can do, the more

709
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 4: you can do. Right, You've grown together sort of over

710
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: these last few weeks.

711
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 9: There's there's no doubt. You know, I've said this multiple times,

712
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 9: but coaching CJ has been extremely fun pleasurable. I mean,

713
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 9: it's been awesome. There's there's no conversations we have that

714
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 9: you we don't immediately get on the same page, whether

715
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 9: we're you know, we can be talking about life, but

716
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 9: we could be talking about film. He's watched all the film.

717
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 9: We could talk about structures, what we want to do

718
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 9: going forward, why we maybe want to change something. They're

719
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 9: all very quick conversations. It also makes it easy on

720
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 9: the side, you know, anytime you have to make adjustments

721
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 9: or just talk through what he's seeing or why we

722
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 9: may want to go to a play and distribute the

723
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 9: ball somewhere. They're really fast. Not a lot of convincing

724
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 9: needed either way by me or him. It just makes

725
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 9: it fun.

726
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: Coach, was there an AHA moment with CJ? Or was

727
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: it just gradual? You kept seeing changes and improvements and

728
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: growth every single day, or do you have this like, Okay, yeah,

729
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: this is the moment.

730
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 12: Yeah.

731
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 7: Both.

732
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 9: Definitely, there's constant growth for all young players that come

733
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 9: in the NFL that always needs to take place even

734
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 9: through the course of their rookie season, and CJ is

735
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 9: still going through a lot of that. But I would

736
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 9: say during training camp, I can't remember the exact practice,

737
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 9: but there was a practice in the middle of training camp,

738
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 9: like short right before we practice the Dolphins where we

739
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 9: had kind of been emphasizing when we get pressure, when

740
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 9: we're hot, when someone's heating us up with a blitz,

741
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 9: what's our reaction? How do we handle it? If the

742
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 9: protection is just like they just got more than we do,

743
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 9: how do we handle that? And it was something that

744
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 9: he wasn't quite used to from Ohio State, just because

745
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 9: the scheme was a little different, and we go out

746
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 9: there and we had just talked about it in the

747
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 9: meeting room and just started emphasizing it, and it came

748
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 9: up in practice. It was like third and seven. Dimico

749
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 9: called the blitz. We were hot, and I mean he

750
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 9: decisively ripped our hot answer and it was like a

751
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 9: downfield handoff, you know, and that's where it was kind

752
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 9: of like, Okay, we can go build stuff around this

753
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 9: because he knows how to handle his issues and he

754
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 9: can respond really quick to it.

755
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: Coach, everything feels so together right now with the players

756
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 4: the coaching staff. Do you trace some of this back

757
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 4: to you and Dimico Ryans being defensive quality control coaches

758
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 4: back in what was it, twenty seventeen, because you guys

759
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 4: were on the defensive side as quality control guys and

760
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 4: for those who don't know, you're in a cubicle basically

761
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: grinding on film and doing whatever else it is you do, right.

762
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no doubt those were some fun times. I

763
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 9: don't know if I've I met new QC that loved

764
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 9: breakdowns like in putting information as much as Demiko. I mean,

765
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 9: he loved it. He just wanted to type in what

766
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 9: run concepts were being run and what we call him

767
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 9: and stuff like that. Those were it was actually two years,

768
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 9: it was twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, and I mean

769
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 9: it was awesome to just talk football back then. You know,

770
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 9: I had a little bit, not nearly as much as

771
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 9: needed to do what I'm doing now, but I had

772
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 9: a little bit of offensive background, and obviously he had

773
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 9: a whole lot of defensive background, and we were both

774
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 9: grown in the same scheme together and just being able

775
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 9: to talk about what an offense could do to take

776
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 9: advantage of things, or what a defense needed to do

777
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 9: to offset in offensive tendencies or I mean, it was

778
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 9: just endless back and force. It was a lot of fun.

779
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: Coach have often said that you want to be a

780
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: good offensive coach, go coach defense or vice versa. How

781
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: did that experience a coaching defense maybe give you a

782
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: different look at okay, what they're trying to do versus

783
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: now you're on the offensive side. How much can you

784
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: harken back to those years of okay, I think I

785
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: know what they want to do, as opposed to if

786
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: you had been on one side of the ball the

787
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: entire time. How does it kind of make you a

788
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: better play caller, coach, coordinator.

789
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 5: Et cetera.

790
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's massive. Mike Shanahan is the one

791
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 9: who told me that he knew I wanted to be

792
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 9: an offensive coach, and he happened to be the head

793
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 9: coach of Washington at the time, and he put me

794
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 9: on defense and told me, like, if you want to

795
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 9: coach offense one day. You need to know this and

796
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 9: that's why I started over there, and it took a

797
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 9: long time to come back. But the answers that you

798
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 9: arrived to on offense is just so much faster because

799
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 9: you understand how defense is structured. You understand how it's

800
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 9: rules based, and how you can try to take advantage

801
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 9: of rules or maybe make them play a rule so

802
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 9: that you can expose a hole like It just speeds

803
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 9: up the process so much of understanding what you're trying

804
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 9: to attack and why you're trying to attack it.

805
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 4: All right, what about Pro Football Focus? Because Johnny loves

806
00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 4: profile stop stop. I'm not the biggest and sometimes but

807
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 4: it's got to help and you have to see the

808
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: deficiencies in it as well. It's analytics, but it doesn't

809
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 4: tell the whole story. How did it help you become

810
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 4: a better coach?

811
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say, and I thought this even when

812
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 9: I was there. Any any information is good information. It

813
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 9: just depends on how you want to use it, you know.

814
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 9: And they put a lot of time and work and

815
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 9: dedication into what they do and why they do it

816
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 9: the way they do it. And I mean when I

817
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 9: was there, I found value in just like they looked

818
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 9: at the game a different way than I did as

819
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 9: a coach. You know, there are a lot of there

820
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 9: are a lot of little things, maybe a coach would

821
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 9: say technique wise, fundamental wise, that someone doesn't do well

822
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 9: on a specific play or compromises the structure of a defense,

823
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 9: and they don't necessarily look at that. They just say,

824
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 9: did someone positively or negatively impact the play, which kind

825
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 9: of when you remove yourself from the coaching lens, is

826
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 9: an interesting way and a valuable way of looking at it.

827
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 9: It's just different, you know. So I really learned a

828
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 9: lot when I was there, and I also learned a

829
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 9: whole lot about analytics and the amount of math and

830
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 9: the amount of I mean brains that go well beyond

831
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 9: the brains I have, that goes into a lot of

832
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 9: that stuff that, like I said, I think all the

833
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 9: information is valuable. Nothing's perfect, he ever will be perfect,

834
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 9: you know, but being able to understand when and why

835
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 9: you want to use it, definitely, even in coaching, helps.

836
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: Coach to the degree that you can and would like to.

837
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: Can you take us through the half back pass and

838
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: the thought process and how you got to that thought process,

839
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: because pretty much for the last two games, you've been

840
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: rolling offensively, what you're calling works within your scheme, all

841
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and then all of a sudden,

842
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: here comes this half back pass. And I know Mark

843
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: and I were talking about during a break of the game.

844
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: We're like, we didn't see that coming. Can you kind

845
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: of take us through your thought process of why you

846
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: thought that was the right play and what the timing

847
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: and all that and how it kind of came to be.

848
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean anytime. Obviously, we haven't been quite as

849
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 9: good in the red zone as we want to be,

850
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 9: so I mean, we've been getting better without a doubt

851
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 9: each week, but we still have some room to grow

852
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 9: right there. And the big thing is when you want

853
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 9: to emphasize something, you need ways to help expedite the process.

854
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 9: So like something where you can take advantage of people

855
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 9: overplaying runs And I think at that point we had

856
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 9: run it on that drive a good amount, especially to Motor,

857
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 9: and we knew during the week that structurally it was there.

858
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 9: I mean, we had saw on film Motor has an arm.

859
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 9: He'd shown it in practice, you know, and we repped

860
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 9: it a couple of times and walked through we worked

861
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 9: exactly like the game did. Then we actually repped it

862
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 9: in practice and my man got a little excited and

863
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 9: airmailed it a little bit, you know, but he put

864
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 9: enough out there where you could you could just see

865
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 9: he knew how to spin it, and we were confident

866
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 9: in the structure. We just had to make sure that

867
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 9: they were willing to play run and at that point

868
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 9: we had been running it on that drive. It was

869
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 9: set up, and we just felt confident that Dalton and

870
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 9: Devin we're gonna be able to go out and execute it.

871
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 4: Your dad is still an assistant in Canada, right he is.

872
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 4: So what kind of conversations do you have now as

873
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 4: far as coaching goes.

874
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 5: He's talking about, well.

875
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 4: Second down is it is the big money down as

876
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 4: opposed to third down. There's an exchange rate with the CFL.

877
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 4: What kind of conversations are you guys having these data?

878
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 9: There's a lot and a lot of them involve things

879
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 9: that we're not allowed to do, you know, like multiple motions. Right,

880
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 9: they can motion everybody, which which would be awesome for

881
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 9: us on offense, but obviously we're limited in that regard.

882
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 9: But and they have an extra guy on the field,

883
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 9: like there's there's a lot different, but it's still at

884
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 9: the end of the day, there's a lot of concepts

885
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 9: that carry over. There's a lot of things that you

886
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 9: still try to take advantage. It's still football, you know.

887
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 9: So he always about once or twice a week he'll

888
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 9: he'll text me or call me and either tell me

889
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 9: something that happened to him in their game up in

890
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 9: Calgary or vice versa. Will be like, hey, you should

891
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 9: do this. I don't know how they stop it. You know,

892
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 9: he loves it and I love it. It's fun.

893
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how it is for your coach. I'm

894
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: the same. I grew up with a dad of as

895
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: a football coach. And how long it's your conversations with

896
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: your pops? How long after hey, how's the family? Do

897
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: you get into Hey we saw this defensive look? Because

898
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: for me and my dad's like thirty seconds like, hey, pops,

899
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: how you doing good? How you doing good? How are

900
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: the kids good? Hey? Did you see what this team did?

901
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: How long does it take when you tour on the

902
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: phone talking?

903
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 9: Probably five probably, like he usually he'll finish off with

904
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 9: how's the family, house?

905
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 11: Kids?

906
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 9: But he it's hello, what's year?

907
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 11: And then his ball?

908
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, oh, yeah, and then obviously the family and

909
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 9: the children conversations last longer than the football conference of course,

910
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 9: so it doesn't take long to get there for sure.

911
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 4: At some point in the off season, I want to

912
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 4: get into this long form, but give me something on

913
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: Michigan Tech. Playing at Michigan Tech, which is north of

914
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 4: everything that you can imagine, it's a.

915
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 9: Terrible, terrible place to go for a wide receiver. Yeah,

916
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 9: but not because of the offense or the school. I

917
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 9: mean it was. It was awesome. I think at the

918
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 9: time I went there. I don't know if this still

919
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 9: is true. At the time I went there, it got

920
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 9: more snowfall than any college in the United States. I

921
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 9: mean it was. I think it was like a three

922
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 9: year run where there was a six month period that

923
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 9: they would mark down from November to I want to say,

924
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 9: like May of one hundred percent snow, you know, like

925
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 9: every day Lake Effect you got it. It's on a

926
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 9: peninsula and with the canal running right by, I mean,

927
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 9: it's just set up for snowfall. So, uh, it was cold.

928
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 9: There was a lot of snow, but I mean it

929
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 9: was a lot of fun. I have a lot of

930
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 9: good friends that I still talk to to this day

931
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 9: that I played with up there, and you know they

932
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 9: are doing well.

933
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 5: All right, coach, thanks a lot for joining us. Good

934
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 5: luck this weekend.

935
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 9: Thank you appreciate it.

936
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I had an absolute blast talking with

937
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: coach Slowick. And that's been a common theme with this

938
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: staff and just the opportunity to get to know them,

939
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: talk to them, and you know, we've gotten close with

940
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: coaches before. You know, coaches have been around for a

941
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: few years.

942
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 3: But you know, we had a chance catch up with

943
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: in consecutive weeks Frank Ross before Jacksonville and then the

944
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: special teams went out and blocked the field goal and

945
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 3: ran went back. We talked with Matt Burke last week

946
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: and the defense held to see those of two hundred

947
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: and twenty five yards totally offensive yards and no touchdowns

948
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 3: and had an interception. And this week is Bobby Slowan,

949
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 3: so there's no telling what the offense is gonna do.

950
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: We had such a blast talking to those three coaches.

951
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: We got to know Frank over the last three years,

952
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: but just getting to know Matt and getting to know

953
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: Bobby has been great. And you can see why these.

954
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: Units are playing as hard as they are because these

955
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 3: coaches they you could tell they know what they're doing,

956
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 3: they care about their players, and that that RUPs off.

957
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: Players see that. Players know it. They may not tell you, like,

958
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 2: you know what, man, I hope my coach cares for me.

959
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: But it's part of it. It's a big, big part

960
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 2: of it.

961
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 3: And when those coaches give you answers to the test,

962
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: and then you see those answers like payoff, you're like,

963
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 3: whoa man, Okay, gonna You're gonna do anything for that

964
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 3: particular coach. And it's really been fun to watch and

965
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: fun to see all three phases offense, defense, special teams.

966
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: But that was Bobby Slowick. We had a great time

967
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: talking with him.

968
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna go round the NFL next, discuss things

969
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 3: that happened and who's in who's out. We'll look at

970
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: the Texans injury report. Cooper Cup does he playing for

971
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: the Rams? How does it impact your fantasy team? We'll

972
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 3: do all that next right here in Texans All Access.

973
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 3: What's up, everybody?

974
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: Walking back to this Friday edition Texans All Access.

975
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 3: I am your host. Hopefully you're enjoying this wonderful weather.

976
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: My goodness, it finally happened after just a summer of

977
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 3: just a horrible heat, horrid temperatures every single day we

978
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: got here. Now, hopefully we'll stay here and we can

979
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 3: stay in these seventies eighties temperatures. Because next week he

980
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 3: plays the Saints, maybe the roof will reopen.

981
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: What I do know is the roof will be open

982
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: at Mercedes Benz Stadium, the oculus, as I believe it's

983
00:42:58,800 --> 00:42:59,479
Speaker 1: called now.

984
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 3: In that game, there may be a few Texans. You're

985
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 3: not going to see two of them. In particular. We

986
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 3: did not see Josh Jones last week deal with the hand.

987
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 3: We did see him at practice this week in unlimited capacity,

988
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 3: but he's still out. This one popped up. Yeah, it

989
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 3: was I think the first I had seen of this. Yeah,

990
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 3: it was on Friday. Christian Harris did not participate in

991
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 3: practice on Friday because of a concussion that he is

992
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 3: ruled out. So more likely it happened in practice for

993
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 3: Christian Harris. So Christian Harris out, Josh Jones out, questionable,

994
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 3: Malik Collins, but he was at least back at practice

995
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 3: today in alimited capacity.

996
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: That was good.

997
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 3: Shaquille Griffin dealing with the CAF. He was back in

998
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: a limited capacity today. He's also questionable. Jake Hansen deal

999
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 3: with the next issue.

1000
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 2: He was back.

1001
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 3: He's questionable. John Metchi was a full participant today at practice.

1002
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 2: Deal with the illness.

1003
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 3: And then Laramie Tunsel a full participant. Practice went from

1004
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: limited limited to full deal with that knee. He is questionable.

1005
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 3: The hope is that Laramie will play. It was good

1006
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 3: to see him as a full participant on Friday, which

1007
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: hopefully means we're leaning towards having Laramie on Sunday against

1008
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons. Now here's the Atlanta status report. Okay,

1009
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 3: do you get that? That's right?

1010
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 2: Atlanta has no one.

1011
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: I've never seen this in ten years of covering to

1012
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: the Texans and being in the building, I've never seen

1013
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: an injury report have no one on it, not a

1014
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: not a single person, not a DNP, not a limited,

1015
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: not a questionable, not a doubtful, not an out, nothing.

1016
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: Every single player on a fifty three man roster for

1017
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons practiced in full this week in Atlanta.

1018
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: So that means we're gonna have our hands full with

1019
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: the Falcons.

1020
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: For sure.

1021
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna be primed and ready, and like I said earlier,

1022
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 3: they're four to zero with des Ris Desmion Riders started

1023
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 3: quarterback at Mercedes Benz Stadium. They're zering four in other

1024
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 3: locations with Desbi Ritter as a starting quarterback in this

1025
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 3: game obviously is in Atlanta at Mercedes Benz Stadium. All right,

1026
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 3: other news in the NFL, this one, and I always

1027
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: find this one fascinating, and I feel like it was

1028
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 3: the Texans that kind of kicked off this trend back

1029
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 3: in twenty fourteen when it.

1030
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: Was announced TJ. Yates was being waived to release. At

1031
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: the time like okay, it's a matter of time, and then.

1032
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 3: Hours later, oh no, TJ. Yates has been traded to

1033
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons for Keem Dent. Well that ruse, if

1034
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: you will, I don't know what you want to call

1035
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 3: it used in this situation. It was announced yesterday that

1036
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 3: Denver was gonna let go of electric outside linebacker Randy Gregory.

1037
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 3: A little while ago we found out Denver is actually

1038
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 3: trading Randy Gregory to the San Francisco forty nine ers.

1039
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: So Gregory and a twenty twenty four to seventh rounder

1040
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 3: to the forty nine ers for a twenty twenty four

1041
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 3: to six rounders.

1042
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: So look at it.

1043
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 3: This way, it's Randy Gregory, and it's a pick swap

1044
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 3: of six and seventh round picks.

1045
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: But Randy Gregory goes to San Francisco.

1046
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: Wow.

1047
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 3: Now I read somewhere that the Broncos are picking up

1048
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 3: a lot of the contract money at least this year,

1049
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 3: and there's no guaranteed money on Gregory's contract going forward.

1050
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 3: So San Francisco down in a hook for anything at

1051
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 3: that point. So they make a pick swap, they add

1052
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 3: Randy Gregory to Nick Bosa. Oh boy, that could get very,

1053
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 3: very interesting for the Broncos. Sean mcvayh you've heard of him,

1054
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 3: he said, coach the Los Angeles Rams. He says, Cooper

1055
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 3: Cup will play Sunday for the Rams. How much we

1056
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 3: don't know, but he is going to play. So you've

1057
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 3: got Cooper Cup on your fantasy team, you might want

1058
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 3: to lock him up or at least handcuff him to

1059
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 3: Puka Nakula, who's been.

1060
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: Incredible as a rookie wide receiver. So make sure you

1061
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: do that. London, bright and early on Sunday. We'll be

1062
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 2: in Atlanta.

1063
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 3: So for us, it's nine thirty am Eastern time, and

1064
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 3: back here at eight point thirty. The Jaguars taken on

1065
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 3: the Bills in Tottenham, So the Jaguars are actually visitors

1066
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 3: in this game, but that game has taken place. Bill's

1067
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 3: Mafia has taken over the pubs in London, which I'm

1068
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 3: sure surprises nobody, but that's gonna be interesting. Nonetheless, last night,

1069
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 3: Justin Fields had probably arguably his best game as a Bear.

1070
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 3: He went off. DJ Moore was incredible. He had three touchdowns,

1071
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: should have had another one. I actually he went over

1072
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 3: two Bills receiving. Justin Fields now leads the NFL.

1073
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 2: How about that? He leads the NFL touchdown passes. I

1074
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 2: believe it's eleven.

1075
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 3: How about that Justin Fields for all the things that

1076
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 3: have been said, he leads the NFL touchdown passes. Now

1077
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens this week. But Bears get their

1078
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 3: first win of the year. Commanders fall to two and three.

1079
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 3: Things aren't great in Washington, even though they won the

1080
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 3: first two. Sam Howell holding the ball way too long,

1081
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 3: but that's a discussion for a different one. Final thing,

1082
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 3: Chase Claypool traded from the Bears to the Dolphins, another

1083
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 3: late round pick swap.

1084
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 2: So it's see what Chase Claypool has with the Dolphins.

1085
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it. For this segment, we get

1086

00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 13: First of all, you and I have talked many times

1100
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 13: over the years. How many What season is this for

1101
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 13: you covering the Falcons?

1102
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's I started in oh A, well, actually started

1103
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 14: five as a backup and took over as the main

1104
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 14: beaky and eight when Steve Weisch left to go to

1105
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 14: the NFL Network. And so I've been holding it, holding

1106
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 14: it down since the start. To coach Mike Smith era.

1107
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 15: You've been holding down for a long time. So let's

1108
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 15: talk about these Falcons.

1109
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 13: In twenty twenty three, they went from the two and

1110
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 13: o darlings to zero and two.

1111
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 11: A lot of.

1112
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 13: Questions in recent weeks, so the opposite of the Texans

1113
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 13: coming off a two game win streak. How surprised are

1114
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 13: you they're at two and two? But how surprised are

1115
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 13: you with where the Falcons are? And what's been the

1116
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 13: biggest surprise so far through four games?

1117
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1118
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 14: I thought that kind of would be two and two

1119
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 14: at this point, and you know that they just had

1120
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 14: so much change over the offseason, a rebuilt defense, a

1121
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 14: new quarterback, and you know, some new weapons on the

1122
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 14: offensive side of the boss. I knew that was gonna

1123
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 14: take some time to get going. But the defense is

1124
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 14: doing much better than you would think with so many

1125
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 14: new starters, and our offense is not doing as well

1126
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 14: as you would have thought with the quarterback struggling and

1127
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 14: all of the weapons not firing off.

1128
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 13: Right now, Yeah, let's talk about the quarterback situation because

1129
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 13: Desmond Ritter will start in week five, and I saw

1130
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 13: that Arthur Smith was asked a lot about it earlier.

1131
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 2: In the week.

1132
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 13: So what's been the biggest difference in Ritter's performance from

1133
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 13: the first two weeks to the last two weeks.

1134
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 14: Well, you know, the first two weeks they were able

1135
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 14: to run the ball and check the ball down and

1136
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 14: you know, throw short passes. And in the last two

1137
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 14: weeks on the road in Detroit and then in London,

1138
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 14: they pretty much just manned up and ganged up in

1139
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 14: the box on the run and dared the Falcons to

1140
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 14: throw the ball down the field.

1141
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 12: And Desmond Ridder hasn't.

1142
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 14: Been able to make him pay down the field underthrowing

1143
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 14: a couple of balls, missing a couple of balls, and

1144
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 14: so forth. The accuracy down the field passing, you know,

1145
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 14: hasn't been there, so that has led to struggles on

1146
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 14: the offensive side of the ball.

1147
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 13: Well, the Falcons are back at home, but they've had

1148
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 13: a long road stretch coming back from London this week,

1149
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 13: so they're coming off a long trip and.

1150
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 15: It's a loss. What's really been the focus around this

1151
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 15: Falcons team this week.

1152
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, they've just been focusing on getting back to practice

1153
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 14: and trying to put together good practices.

1154
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 12: Right now, they're trying to you know, they got four games.

1155
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 14: They know what's worked, they know what hasn't worked, and

1156
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 14: they want to do more of the stuff that's worked.

1157
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 14: It's real simple. You know, Jon Robinson's been great, so

1158
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 14: probably see some more in him. John new Smith has

1159
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 14: been open, Kyle Pitts is not one hundred percent. Drake

1160
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 14: London and mccollins haven't been able to fire off in

1161
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 14: the passing game either, So you know, they want to

1162
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 14: practice the things that they've been successful at and then

1163
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 14: try to build on that and move forward some you know,

1164
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 14: kind of tapering down what they've been trying to do

1165
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 14: and do you know what's been working and try to

1166
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,959
Speaker 14: put together more than a couple series at a time.

1167
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1168
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 15: You a lot to unpack there. And you mentioned Bijon Robinson.

1169
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 13: A lot of people in Texas know him very well.

1170
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 13: They'll be facing him for the first time as a

1171
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 13: rookie now the Texans will what's really impressed you He's

1172
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 13: put up some good numbers despite even the wins and

1173
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 13: the losses. But what's impressed you most about the rookie

1174
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 13: running back through the first four games?

1175
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, you know, the football was there and the

1176
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 14: football ability, so that that wasn't a surprise.

1177
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 12: You knew he could play.

1178
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 14: We saw him play against Alabama last year, so it

1179
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 14: was can you transfer to the pro game. Sometimes players

1180
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 14: are not mature enough to do that or learn the playbook.

1181
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 14: So he's been able to do that. And it's just calm,

1182
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 14: the meaner that he expected to be here, he expected

1183
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 14: to be great, and you know, it looks like a

1184
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 14: kid that has a really good home trainer, very respectful

1185
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 14: and kind young man. And it's easy for you know,

1186
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 14: fans to root for guys like that, but he's been

1187
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 14: able to He's in the class act about everything and

1188
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 14: he's been able to play it put it on the

1189
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 14: football field too.

1190
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 13: Have you tried his bijon beijion bijion a's what is it?

1191
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 13: The the bejon dijon manase?

1192
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 15: Have you tried that?

1193
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 4: No?

1194
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 14: I haven't, Uh, I haven't. I'm aware, I'm aware, but

1195
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 14: I haven't tried it yet. Sounds like something I want to,

1196
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 14: you know, take to the next grill out and sample.

1197
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 15: I heard it tastes like touchdowns, all right.

1198
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 13: What about Kyle Pitts, because you know there's a lot

1199
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 13: of expectations around the third year tight end, but you

1200
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 13: mentioned it, he's sort of dealing with a knee injury

1201
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 13: and he's not really putting up the number.

1202
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 15: So what do they sort of expect for him moving

1203
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 15: forward this year.

1204
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, that was kind of strange. Uh, you know, medial

1205
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 14: collateral knee surgery. Coach kind of saying, yeah, he's clearly

1206
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 14: not as fast as he was his rookie year. Kyle's

1207
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 14: been kind of stunned, dog fish and short with his answers.

1208
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 14: He doesn't want to come out and contradict his coach,

1209
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 14: but you know, most athletes don't want to say, hey,

1210
00:53:58,920 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 14: I'm hurt.

1211
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 12: You know, it looks like they're making excuse.

1212
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 14: So it's clear he's not one hundred percent, but they

1213
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 14: you know, he's been playing though, so if they running

1214
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 14: him out there, then he's closer to it than one

1215
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 14: hundred percent than he was.

1216
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1217
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 12: I thought on some routes, I thought I saw him

1218
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 12: maybe not running as hard as he had in the past.

1219
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 14: I don't know if he was jogging or he didn't

1220
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 14: think he was getting the ball, or you know, it's

1221
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 14: one pass up.

1222
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 12: The sideline, or he just kind of just kept running.

1223
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 14: You know, the bar was it wasn't properly thrown, but

1224
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 14: I mean he should have been fighting to the ball,

1225
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 14: not just giving up on the play.

1226
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, we talked about a lot of offensive firepower for

1227
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 13: the Falcons. So aside from like Bijon Robinson, who's really

1228
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 13: put up the numbers?

1229
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 15: Is there one when all things are firing correctly?

1230
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 13: Is there one that really keeps you think should keep

1231
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 13: defensive coordinators up at night? Who do you think is

1232
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 13: the most dangerous weapon for the Falcons right now?

1233
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's it's Robinson. You know, Drake London's been able

1234
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 14: to get open to. But yeah, if you get some time,

1235
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 14: all of them been open. It's just matter whether they

1236
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 14: can hit it or not. But yet they're there, but

1237
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 14: you haven't seen them on you execute them all?

1238
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 11: Right?

1239
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 15: What about this Falcons defense?

1240
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 13: Because you know they added some players around aj Terrell

1241
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 13: and Grady Jarrett. The ranked seventh overall through four games.

1242
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 13: So where have you seen the most improvement? I know

1243
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 13: a lot of changes on the defensive side for the Falcons,

1244
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 13: But where do you see where have you seen the

1245
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 13: biggest improvement the biggest changes for them?

1246
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 12: Yeah, up in the.

1247
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 14: Front seven, they've been able to stop the ball with

1248
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 14: David Ayumata, who they signed in free agency to play

1249
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 14: next to Graty Jarrett. Bud Duprees started up there and uh,

1250
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 14: you know, Kalis Campbell is playing sixty percent of the snap.

1251
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 14: So the fact that they had a good front and

1252
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 14: linebacker kaytan Ellis and Nate Lemmon have been able to

1253
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 14: fill the gaps to stop the ball in the run game.

1254
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 14: So once you get that taken care of, then you

1255
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 14: know you have some options on third down and so forth.

1256
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 14: And that's why they're ranked seventh. But those are the

1257
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 14: guys up front that you know, the Falcons know they

1258
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 14: needed to fortify the top of that defense and they've

1259
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 14: been able.

1260
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 12: To do so.

1261
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 13: All right, you what are some of the storylines you're

1262
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 13: working on heading into Sunday's game against the Texans.

1263
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know they made.

1264
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 12: A big trade for Jefferkuda.

1265
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 14: He was the number three overall pick with the Lions

1266
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 14: and they picked him up for a fifth round pick.

1267
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 14: He started his first game last week. Big cornerback. That'll

1268
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,439
Speaker 14: give you some options on whether you could play man

1269
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 14: or more man and get aggressive and go attack. You know,

1270
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 14: the young quarterback. We got another story on Bijon Robinson

1271
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 14: and you know he's on pace for nineteen hundred yards

1272
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 14: and three wow, six touches, So can you put more

1273
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 14: on his players?

1274
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 12: Not too much so, So that's one.

1275
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 14: And then you know, our coach here has been real

1276
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 14: patient and it's he's a third year, first time coach.

1277
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 12: He talks about, I don't want to jerk the wheel

1278
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 12: and you know, run us off the road.

1279
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 14: But you know, can you you know, with Desmond Ridder

1280
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 14: with six touchdowns and forty five possessions, you know you

1281
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 14: probably can't stay with with him unless that scoring efficiency increases. So,

1282
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 14: you know, we wanted to look at his decision making

1283
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 14: process as a first time head coacher. He has been

1284
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 14: patient in the past, and how he's handling that big

1285
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 14: decision to what to do as the you know they

1286
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 14: you know, move Desmond Ridder into the quarterback position.

1287
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 15: All right, good stuff?

1288
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 13: Do you Orlanda led Beetter covers the Falcons for the

1289
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 13: Atlanta Journal Constitution.

1290
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 15: Do you appreciate the time as always? Thanks for the insight.

1291
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 12: All right, thank you, Deepa, have a great weekend and

1292
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 12: good luck this season.

1293
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: All right, great stuff there from d Orlando led Better

1294
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The guy as an institution

1295
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, so great to have him on the show.

1296
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 2: All right, now you got their side, let's get our side.

1297
00:57:59,520 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 2: My side.

1298
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: It's time, my.

1299
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: Keys to the game, and here is my music. Yes,

1300
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: I need my music to get me rolling.

1301
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 3: Now let's start with the Falcons offense. This is an

1302
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 3: offense that in game one produce twenty four points at home.

1303
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 3: Week two produce twenty five points at home. Then they

1304
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: produced six on the road in London. Obviously on the

1305
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 3: road they produced seven. So this is two the tail.

1306
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 2: Two different teams here, one at home, one on the road.

1307
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: They also are four and oh in Desmond Ridders four

1308
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: starts at home, they are zero to four Desmond Ridders

1309
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: starts on the road. So unfortunately the Texas are playing

1310
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: at Atlanta. All right, let's get into this. The Falcons

1311
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: offense is averaging one hundred and twenty eight yards per game.

1312
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: That's eleventh the NFL.

1313
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 3: Oh passing yards one hundred and fifty six point three

1314
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 3: yards per game, that's last in the NFL. They average

1315
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 3: two eighty four per game. That's twenty fourth the NFL.

1316
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 3: They might just want to turnover margin.

1317
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritters are starting quarterback, so off it's a line

1318
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: has been together for a while. Outside of left guard,

1319
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: where Matthew Berger, on a second round pick, has taken over.

1320
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: There as a left guard. He played tackle at Syracuse

1321
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: last year. Now he is a left guard. Talented, talented,

1322
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: talented across the board. Bjon Robinson running back wide receivers.

1323
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: Drink one of MATC. Collins depending on how you classify

1324
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. They've got weapons, so it's guitar keys. It

1325
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: starts with number one, Bijon mustardson. Now, if you're wondering

1326
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: who that is, you're like, I know Bjeon. Yeah, Bjeon's

1327
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: got his own brand of mustard. Start back at the

1328
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: University of Texas is now followed him to Atlanta. Now

1329
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: he is explosive, dynamic, whatever you want to call him.

1330
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: With the ball in his hands, he has a sports

1331
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: center highlight waiting to happen. TikTok highlight, I guess is

1332
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: the way of saying it.

1333
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 11: Now.

1334
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: He is perfect for those media. Why because he makes

1335
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: people miss He makes people missing space, He runs over people,

1336
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: he makes one handy catches, he runs away from people.

1337
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 2: He does everything you want a modern day running back

1338
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: to do and to be.

1339
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: He is that guy.

1340
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: Now he's had an average of eighteen touches per game.

1341
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: And he's had nineteen catches total, so he's averaged eighteen touches.

1342
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: Nineteen of the total have come through the air.

1343
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 3: Detroit was awesome against him because they fit well in

1344
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 3: their run gaps and they tackled well. Simply put, Now

1345
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 3: he will catch four to five passes, no doubt.

1346
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: When he's out in space. I'm probably more worried that

1347
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: he's running the ball in between the tackles, because in

1348
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: space he's gonna make guys miss.

1349
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 3: One guy misses also, boom, that's a twelve yard gain.

1350
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 3: I am worried about that more so than anything else. Now,

1351
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 3: the Texans do have great team speed.

1352
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: They'll be without Christian Harris, as I noted earlier, without

1353
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Christian Harris dealing with a concussion that suffered during the week.

1354
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 1: That means the Texans have to fly to the flop

1355
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: and not only fly to the football, They've got to

1356
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: be at the right angle. Not only have to fly

1357
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: the football, beat the right angle, they have got to strike.

1358
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: Not only do that, to fly to the football, beat

1359
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: the right angle and strike, they have to wrap up

1360
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: all of that for.

1361
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 2: Sixty four minutes on Bjeon Robinson.

1362
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 3: Number two talk about Desmond Ritter a little earlier about

1363
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 3: how the Falcons do extremely well at home with him,

1364
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 3: But he's different quarterback on the road.

1365
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: At home, very comfortable.

1366
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 3: In fact, Drew Doherty dropped this nugget onut me. He

1367
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 3: was twenty six to oh at home as a starter

1368
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 3: at Cincinnati. So he's thirty and oh at home as

1369
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 3: a starting quarterback at Cincinnati University of and Atlanta Falcons.

1370
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Now he's a much more comfortable at home. He takes

1371
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: profit when it's there. Then he struggled the last two

1372
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: weeks to pick six against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Another interception

1373
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: that was just a bad throw, bad decision. So it

1374
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: worries me.

1375
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 3: Because he's typically overcome adversity in his career, whether it's

1376
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 3: at Cincinnati, whether it's with Atlanta. He's turned a bad

1377
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 3: game into a good game. But being on the road

1378
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 3: the last two weeks, he didn't respond. So is that

1379
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 3: now a consistent thing? Will he come home put too

1380
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 3: much pressure on himself?

1381
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. So it's inherent.

1382
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 3: The Texans get pressure on him. Texans are forcing pressure

1383
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 3: forty four point four percent.

1384
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Of a quarterbacks drop packs. That's thirt in the NFL

1385
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: pressure rate. That's incredible.

1386
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 3: It's really good offensive line though they may max protect,

1387
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 3: they may use one of the other tight ends, keep

1388
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 3: one in and then throw the other three.

1389
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: On the route and Bejon out in the route. They

1390
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: want Bjon Robinson out on routes. They've got to get

1391
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: pressure on Ridder or try and get him to throw

1392
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: them one early and really disrupt his confidence. This week,

1393
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith spent about eight nine minutes discussing desmid Rider's

1394
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: status as a starting quarterback, because that's all he was

1395
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: asked about. So Texans has got to step up the

1396
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: pressure on Ridder all the way through. So as hard

1397
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: as it is, Jean Robinson got to corral him out.

1398
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: You got to pursue like madmen, like last week. And

1399
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: then with Desmond Ridder, you've got to get in his

1400
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: face early, get him to throw you once. See if

1401
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: that confidence erode. See if you can get the fans

1402
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: to boo a little bit. Get Arthur Smith to think

1403
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: about Taylor Heineke and actually I don't know if I

1404
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: want to see Heinekey, but you gotta put.

1405
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 3: The pressure on Ridder from day one. Minute one, all right,

1406
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 3: last one? How do you handle all these.

1407
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 2: Positionless offensive players.

1408
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is her receivers. He tight end. Drake London

1409
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: looks like a tight end, but he plays wide receiver.

1410
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Be John Robinson really isn't a running back. What you

1411
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: do with CP Cordero Patterson who has never been a

1412
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: running back, who's never been a wide receiver. He's just

1413
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: been a weapon x the entire time. But when you

1414
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: got the ball in his hands, he's magical. So what

1415
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: do you do with all these positionless players? Yike's versatility

1416
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: creates a ton of issues for the Texans defense a

1417
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: ton and what it creates having keep it more so

1418
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: is matching the personnel with your defensive scheme.

1419
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 3: Pitches out there with John hu Smith. You consider eleven

1420
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 3: personnel and you consider a ten personnel.

1421
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 1: How do you do that?

1422
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 2: What do you do as far as your personnel groupings, Hey,

1423
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 2: we want to match.

1424
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 16: This with this?

1425
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, think it's kind of tough because it's not an easy.

1426
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Personnel match because these guys can all play different positions.

1427
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: So defense has got to be dialed into.

1428
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 2: Every single personnel situation.

1429
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Come on with down a distance area on the field,

1430
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: time and score and how you got to try and

1431
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: match up with that and the players on the field,

1432
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: because that is gonna be really, really difficult.

1433
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 2: But if you can do those.

1434
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 3: Things, tackle Bjon out in space with a lot of Texans,

1435
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 3: get some pressure on Ritter, and then be absolutely one

1436
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 3: thousand percent sure how you want to adapt.

1437
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: To the positionless offensive players.

1438
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: The Falcons have gun opportunity to keep them in that

1439
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty four two hundred and eighty five

1440
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: yards per game range, which is twenty fourth the NFL,

1441
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: which I think the Texans can handle on Sunday. Now,

1442
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: let's get to this defense, and I think defense is

1443
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,919
Speaker 1: one of the better ones in the NFL. They're giving

1444
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifteen yards per game on the ground,

1445
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: that's seventeenth in the NFL. Now, Texans haven't been running

1446
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: it extremely well through four games, but last game they

1447
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: started to get it going a little bit better. Passing yards,

1448
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: they only give up one to seventy six point three

1449
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: that's fifth in the NFL. They're tremendous in the back end,

1450
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: and combine that with their rush yikes total offense, they

1451
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: only give up two hundred ninety point eight yards per game.

1452
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: In no game have they had any team score more

1453
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: than twenty five points. So this is probably gonna be

1454
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,439
Speaker 1: one of those little scoring battles. The Falcons are minus.

1455
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: Wanted to turn the margin and you got three picks.

1456
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Many of those fall into the hands of Jesse Bates.

1457
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: We'll get into him in just a second.

1458
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 3: This isn't a defense that won two, three, four, five,

1459
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 3: six different starters or six new starters from last year

1460
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 3: on this defense. They have remade that defense and it's worked.

1461
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 3: Even some of their backups work. But their top eleven.

1462
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 3: You throw in Dialford that their nick salty, really really salty.

1463
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 3: So let's get into the keys against his defense.

1464
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: And to me, it starts with one player. He's the

1465
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: most underrated great player in the league. And to me,

1466
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: that's great Jarrett. When he came out of Clemson few

1467
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 1: years ago, I was a big fan of his because

1468
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: I love shorter, stockier defensive lineman because they win leverage

1469
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: battles as soon as they break off the snap. And

1470
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: if you've got.

1471
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 3: Twitch and you've got athleticism, quicks and power, then a

1472
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 3: shorter as a shorter defensive lineman, you've got an advantage.

1473
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 2: I think it's a big advantage for great year.

1474
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: He's six to one, maybe, but he is a stout

1475
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: two ninety five to ninety seven something in that range.

1476
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: He is very difficult to block. He will slant and

1477
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: move and he's all over the place, and he gets

1478
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: into the backfield in a hurry.

1479
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 3: The Texans must keep him out of the mix if

1480
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 3: at all possible. Now that sounds easy, We'll just focus

1481
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: on him, Colin Aaron Donald Right, Well, no, because there's

1482
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 3: Bud Dupree, There's David on Yamada, there is Kalays Campbell,

1483
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 3: there all these other defensive lignments. You can't just focus

1484
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 3: on one because the others are that much better as well.

1485
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 3: So Jarrett is a problem now, and on third down

1486
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 3: he becomes even bigger problem.

1487
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: And that's where I get worried. Where does he rush from?

1488
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: Who does he attack? Does he pick a guy in

1489
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: the line, say I'm gonna attack him, I'm an attack him,

1490
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm going after him. That is gonna be a problem

1491
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: for the Texans. They have got to handle Grady Jarrett.

1492
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know there's any easy.

1493
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 3: Way to do it, but traps, whams, crunches where you

1494
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 3: let him get upfield and then you're you're you're whamming

1495
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 3: him with a tight end pulled across, trapped him the

1496
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 3: guard things like that where he starts looking around before

1497
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 3: he starts to penetrate. If that slows it down a

1498
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 3: little bit, then so be it. You need it, you

1499
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 3: need it, You need him to slow down in any way,

1500
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 3: shape or form.

1501
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: All right, Number two, I mentioned his name a little

1502
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: while ago, and the key is just again we got

1503
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: is Kalay's Campbell again?

1504
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 3: Like really we have to now he's not playing one

1505
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 3: hundred percent of the plays. In fact, last week he

1506
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 3: only played thirty nine at sixty six plays. But he's

1507
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,959
Speaker 3: always disruptive. He's six 's eight, he's three twenty five.

1508
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 3: He still moves really well. He fits into that Falcons defense.

1509
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 3: He's just awkward to block.

1510
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: He's tough to block, and he's always been so tough

1511
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 1: for the Texas. And that's the key is the Texans

1512
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: have always struggled with him. What's the right way to

1513
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 1: block Klayus Campbell. So I don't know, I don't know

1514
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: that I've figured it out.

1515
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 3: But having Grady Jarrett and Klais Campbell have to worry

1516
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 3: about really bothers me about this game on Sunday.

1517
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: So Texas got to find a way to get into

1518
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 2: those guys early.

1519
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 1: Use Klayis to size against him, get shorter guys underneath

1520
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: him and move him a little bit, and then run

1521
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: right at those guys and see how they handle it.

1522
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any other way but then

1523
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: to stand up and hit that eight hundred pound elephant

1524
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: right in the mouth. In both Grady Jarrett and Kalayis Campbell.

1525
01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 2: Number three is number three. I call it safety because

1526
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: his last name is Baits like Bates Motel.

1527
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: You get that right, Okay, Well, he's a football psycho too,

1528
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: because Jesse Bates to me is one of the top

1529
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: four safeties in the league, and he is really adapted

1530
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: to the San Atlanta defense. There are things that he

1531
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: does instinctively, Like last week against the Jaguars, he was

1532
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: not really supposed to be near the line of scrimmage,

1533
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: but he saw what the Jaguars were doing and he

1534
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: moved up to the line of scrimmage, made a hit

1535
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: on Evan Ingram after a catch, knocked the ball out.

1536
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 2: Ingram got back on it. But the fact is he

1537
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 2: was there to make a play.

1538
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: And he's kind of like Jalen Petrie and Jimmy Ward,

1539
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of let them flow a little

1540
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: bit because you gotta you can't curtail their instincts. And

1541
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: Jesse Bates as smart as it get gets, he's as

1542
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: athletic as it gets.

1543
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 2: He scares me to death.

1544
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: Back there, CJ.

1545
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 2: Stroud has to beware of where number three is on every.

1546
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 3: Single play, and if he's lurking, it's probably best to

1547
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 3: go away from him. You don't want that joker lurking,

1548
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 3: or you're gonna be in a lot of trouble, no

1549
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 3: doubt about that.

1550
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 2: All right, those are your keys to a win over

1551
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons.

1552
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 3: Now, we've got a not quite full slate of games

1553
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 3: because you've got a few teams on the buy this weekend.

1554
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 3: But whatever games we do have, we're gonna pick them

1555
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 3: next straight up and against the spread for fun, for fun,

1556
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 3: right here, when Texans all access.

1557
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 2: Well, look here, it's that time of.

1558
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: The show on a Friday where I start breaking down

1559
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 1: every game throughout the NFL. You know what, I'll give

1560
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: you a couple of picks in college because we got

1561
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: a couple of big time games taking place this weekend,

1562
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: in particular corn All against Harvard. Though not really, but

1563
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I really hope that seth pains Alma Mater does a

1564
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 1: number to Harvard, but I don't think it's gonna happen

1565
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: Harvard to a thirteen point favorite, apparently. So we got

1566
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 1: a couple of college games that were I think pretty

1567
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: excited about, especially in the lone Star state. Well, so

1568
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: we'll hit some of those, but we got to hit

1569
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: all of these NFL games straight up and against the spread.

1570
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 2: This is how we have some fun. This is how

1571
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 2: we go around the NFL.

1572
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: So let's do it. Let's get my music there it is,

1573
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: and let's get these games picked straight up and against

1574
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the spread. And I know my record lately has been

1575
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 1: really really good. I think I'm bordering out like ninety

1576
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: six ninety seven percent across the board, So I'm nailing these.

1577
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: So you should just hone in on these. So you're

1578
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna know the winners before they even happen. How about that.

1579
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 3: So let's start in Washington where the Bears take on

1580
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 3: the Commanders, and the Bears gonna win it by twenty,

1581
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 3: probably like a forty to twenty type score.

1582
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that happened on Thursday night. Sorry about that.

1583
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bears did get win on Thursday night, and

1584
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 2: look good doing it.

1585
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 1: Look really good.

1586
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 3: Just the fields through for two hundred eighty two yards

1587
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 3: and four tudies. Dj Moore, the player the Panthers traded

1588
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 3: to the Bears, which left the Panthers avoid a receiver

1589
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 3: who they're now looking to trade four a receiver. DJ

1590
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 3: Moore at eight catches for two hundred and thirty yards

1591
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 3: and three touchdowns, probably would have had a lot more

1592
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 3: had they not ruled him out of balance erroneously.

1593
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 2: But the Bear's gonna win.

1594
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 3: Bears move to one and four, and Magic Johnson, not

1595
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 3: real happy about his Washington Commander's performance, said that they

1596
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 3: were soft and they had no fire.

1597
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 2: I don't have to use the words soft, but they

1598
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 2: had no fire. Magic Johnson part.

1599
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 3: Of the ownership group Josh Harris now owns the Commanders,

1600
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 3: but man two and three on the season.

1601
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: The Bears are now one and four.

1602
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to one of the games of

1603
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,520
Speaker 2: the day, and that it actually happens at eight thirty.

1604
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 3: In the morning Houston time, And if you're in Atlanta,

1605
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 3: where we're gonna be, to be nine thirty, and if

1606
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 3: you're over in London, it's like two thirty because the

1607
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 3: Jacks are taken on the bills in Tottenham, So the

1608
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 3: Bills are actually the home team in this one, and

1609
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 3: they're favored by five and a half.

1610
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 2: That's an interesting number.

1611
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: I always been told that somewhere a number between three

1612
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: and five. Vegas doesn't quite know what to do with

1613
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: this one. And you know Jack, You know that Jacksonville's

1614
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: home away from home is London, but not in Tottenham.

1615
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 2: So the Bills have been playing well.

1616
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 3: I mean they're coming off a game against the Dolphins

1617
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:54,480
Speaker 3: where they just absolutely skull drug the Dolphins.

1618
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: All day forty eight to twenty. The Bills offense is hot.

1619
01:12:58,320 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: And because I don't really want to go against my

1620
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: heart my head, I want the Bills to win. My

1621
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,560
Speaker 1: heart wants the Pills to win. My head tells me

1622
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: the Bills should win.

1623
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:07,560
Speaker 2: So I'm doing it.

1624
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Bills to win by more than

1625
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 3: five and a half. So let's give them a twenty

1626
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 3: nine to twenty two win.

1627
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:15,560
Speaker 1: How about that?

1628
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 2: That's not scorgami, is it?

1629
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: I was think?

1630
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 2: So twenty nine to twenty two Bills get to.

1631
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Win and cover and fly back to the States.

1632
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 2: Four and one.

1633
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 3: All right, AFC South in the I don't really care

1634
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 3: what happens. I just hope they beat the hell out

1635
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 3: each other game. That's the Titans taking on the Colts.

1636
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 3: The Colts got some guys banged up.

1637
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: Sack Leonard out, Bernard Ryman out that you're starting linebacker

1638
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: and you're starting to let to tackle out for the Colts.

1639
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 2: The Titans had a lot of guys missed today's practice.

1640
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: Don't know how that's gonna play for them on Sunday,

1641
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: a lot of guys questionable. Tennessee's favored by two and

1642
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: a half at the Colts. I don't know how I

1643
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 1: like that, to be honest with you. If the Colts

1644
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,639
Speaker 1: still down, Derek Henry, I don't know the Ryan Tanneo

1645
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: beats them, I really don't. But the Titans how find

1646
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 1: a way against the Colts, but not this time. I

1647
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: think the Colts are gonna get this win at home.

1648
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's gonna do some things that Will Levis can

1649
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: only dream about doing. As Levis watches from the sidelines,

1650
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 1: the Colts win this game twenty eight, twenty four in

1651
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 1: a mild upset in Indianapolis. I don't think Jonathan Taylor

1652
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 1: will play, but we'll see. We'll see if he's gonna play.

1653
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 1: At all but Colts underdog two and a half points.

1654
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: But I'm taking the Colts to win outright, So there's

1655
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: a little upset, all right. Saints going to the Patriots.

1656
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen taking the Saints up to Gillette, where the

1657
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Patriots absolutely desperately need a win, but they played better

1658
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: at Gilett after last week's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

1659
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 2: I can see why this one's even.

1660
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 3: It's a pick them flip a coin, Saints Patriots, and

1661
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 3: I can't really believe I'm gonna do this, but one

1662
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 3: week before we face an Orlands Saints, I am gonna

1663
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 3: say that the Patriots get a win up in Gillette.

1664
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 3: Derek Cardin play out that well last week.

1665
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,879
Speaker 1: The children's probably still bothered him, but the Patriots are desperate.

1666
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: I think they'll do what they have to to get

1667
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: a win. They traded for J. C. Jackson. Don't know

1668
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: if he'll play, but he knows the system obviously, so

1669
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: we'll see. But I think the Patriots will move to

1670
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: two and three, which will make the Saints two and three.

1671
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 3: So that's even straight up. So we're going Patriots to

1672
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 3: beat the Saints. Then, arguably the best rivalry in the NFL.

1673
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 1: If it's not the best, it's probably the biggest beat

1674
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: the you know what out of each other rivalry, and

1675
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: that is Ravens the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Now, Kenny Pickett

1676
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: will play some of the bone bruis in the Sack

1677
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: by John Grenard last week, but he is scheduled to play.

1678
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Peterson still talking noise.

1679
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 7: Now.

1680
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: The last time that Patrick Peterson had something to say,

1681
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: it was to Brock Party and then Brock Purty let

1682
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: them up like a Christmas tree. Now he's talking about

1683
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,840
Speaker 1: little muchkinsea flowers. And I think he meant it endure

1684
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: as an enduring sort of term, but it could be

1685
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: taken the wrong way. I think the Ravens are gonna

1686
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,719
Speaker 1: punish the Steelers. I don't think the Steelers are great.

1687
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: Great win for the Texans. I just don't think the

1688
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: Steelers are great. But they'll rebound and play well. They'll

1689
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: play well enough to get inside the four. This is

1690
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 1: gonna be twenty to seventeen. The Ravens will be ahead,

1691
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: force the Steelers to chase. They just won't be able

1692
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 1: to get there. They'll get inside the number, but the

1693
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: Ravens will get a hard fought win. In Pittsburgh. All

1694
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: right's go to Detroit the d the Carolina Panthers and

1695
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: their own four record travel to take on the hot

1696
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Now, in the past, this is the kind

1697
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 1: of game the Lions have lost. They're playing well and

1698
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: then what happened there? How do they lose that game?

1699
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: How they loose that won to Seattle earlier this year. Now,

1700
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: Seattle's a better football team than they looked in Week

1701
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: one against the Rams.

1702
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 3: But at that point you would think, hey, the Lions

1703
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 3: should be in control. Well, the Lions are three and one,

1704
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 3: they're favored by nine and a half. I don't think

1705
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:17,839
Speaker 3: there's any way that Bryce Young can finish this football

1706
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 3: game standing up. The Lions will decimate that Panthers offensive line.

1707
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 3: The Lions will go get a win, and they will

1708
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 3: win this thing thirty four to twenty. I don't think

1709
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 3: the Panthers can stop them, and I don't think that

1710
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 3: the Lions are gonna be stopped. Lions defense is gonna

1711
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 3: be stopped. So we're going Lions to win and cover

1712
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 3: the nine.

1713
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: And a half in Detroit. All right, another noon kick.

1714
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: The New York Giants, fresh off in absolute trouncing on

1715
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Monday night taking on the Dolphins. The Seahawks did whatever

1716
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 1: they wanted to against the Giants, and the Giants couldn't

1717
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 1: stop them. The offensive line was bad.

1718
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 3: Evan Neil was talking trash to the fansasically saying, you

1719
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 3: guys don't.

1720
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Know what we go through. It was just not a

1721
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: good situation. The Dolphins are coming off a bad loss,

1722
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: bad bad, bad loss that dropped them to three and one,

1723
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: losing to the Buffalo Bills, giving up forty eight points

1724
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: in the process. Now the Giants, I don't think it's

1725
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: scored forty eight points in four games, much less one.

1726
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have an opportunity to do that every single weekend,

1727
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: scoring forty eight. I don't think it'll take forty eight,

1728
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,719
Speaker 1: but I do think the Dolphins will win this going

1729
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: away miss feels like thirty one to ten that covers

1730
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: the twelve and a half. Miami's the biggest favorite this

1731
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: week on the board. Miami gets a win and to

1732
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: get a cover as they blow out the Giants, a

1733
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: team that is just looking to hit and hang on

1734
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: at this point because I don't know how much they

1735
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 1: believe in Daniel Jones that I don't know. That's facts

1736
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,799
Speaker 1: I guess Bengals taken on to Cardinals in our afternoon,

1737
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 1: first afternoon game.

1738
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals are a three point dog at home.

1739
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: But if you would have said Week five Bengals going

1740
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals, since that's gonna be fair about how much,

1741
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: you probably just set a couple of touchdowns. But this

1742
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals team plays well, they play hard, they're tricky on defense.

1743
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: Drew Petsing on offense makes things, makes things go for

1744
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Josh Dopps. But I think it's too much. I think

1745
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: the Bengals are gonna get healthy. Unfortunately, I think Joe

1746
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: Burrow is gonna give himself healthy. The only thing that

1747
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 1: holds me back here is the offensive line, and I

1748
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: think that Arizona could get some pressure. That said, I

1749
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: think the CINCINNTI Bengals go to Arizona start to get

1750
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: it right. They get a win.

1751
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 3: That's the most important thing. And it's only a three

1752
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 3: point spread, so I think they'll get a win.

1753
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a four to seven pointer, like

1754
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 1: a twenty six to twenty twenty eight, twenty one sort

1755
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 1: of thing.

1756
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's gonna be a blowout or

1757
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 2: a two score game.

1758
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I do think the Cardinals will hang around, but they'll lose,

1759
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: and I think Bengals will cover just barely. All right,

1760
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,560
Speaker 1: really good after noon game taking place out in so

1761
01:19:57,840 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 1: By Stadium.

1762
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 3: The Eagles are four point favorites after win last week

1763
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 3: against the Commanders thirty four to thirty one and Pookaa

1764
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 3: coup and the Rams win nuts with overtime win over

1765
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts.

1766
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 1: Eagles are favored by four on the road. I think

1767
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: they'll win and just barely cover. I know people aren't

1768
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: believing quite in Eels just yet, but I think the

1769
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 1: Rams are probably a step away. So it's gonna be

1770
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: in between four to seven point deficit, but the Eagles

1771
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: will get that win and a cover.

1772
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs Vikings in Minneapolis. I don't know what to make

1773
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 2: of the Vikings. I really don't.

1774
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: As a result, the Chiefs are faired by three and

1775
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: a half. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna

1776
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: go Chiefs to win, Vikings to cover. I like that

1777
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 1: little hook, So I'm expecting like twenty four to twenty one,

1778
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty one, thirty four to thirty one,

1779
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: three point.

1780
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 2: Deficit that gives the Vikings a cover and the Chiefs

1781
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 2: a win.

1782
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: And finally, on Sunday Night Football, forty nine ers taken

1783
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 1: out of Cowboys three one, Cowboys four oh.

1784
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 3: Forty nine ers. Forty nine ers are favored by three

1785
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,479
Speaker 3: and a half. That's a low number. I was a

1786
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 3: little surprised.

1787
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: I mean, the Cowboys are good, but the forty nine

1788
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: ers at home are even better. So we're going forty

1789
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,679
Speaker 1: nine ers to win and cover as brock perty get

1790
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: it done. Funday Night game, Packers going to the Raiders.

1791
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm going Packers. Las Vegas is fair about one and

1792
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 2: a half. We'll talk a little bit more about that.

1793
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,799
Speaker 1: On Monday, but let's go Packers to beat the Raiders

1794
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:15,919

Speaker 7: One hundred ten degree heat?

1813
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 11: How far is the walk from here?

1814
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 7: Probably like two hours?

1815
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 11: Two hours? Yeah, but you take the heat.

1816
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:17,240

Speaker 10: Wait, chocolate chip chocolate ice brownies?

1822
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:33,879
Speaker 7: Yes? Or water slides? Is it water slides? Open or closed?

1823
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 11: What do you mean other people coming on it?

1824
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 7: Or you know what I'm saying? Is it? Is it

1825
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 7: like the enclosed ones because I'm claustrophobic.

1826
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 11: Oh well, let's make them not enclosed, because we do.

1827
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 7: The water slides there. You have too much chocolate for me, too.

1828
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 11: Much chocolate for your yeah, all right. What is your

Speaker 11: desertive choice? I can't remember.

1830
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:54,280

1831
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 10: ice cream, apple pie piece, cobbler.

1832
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, you keep going. It's pretty good, but not as much.

1833
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 7: Cho too much chocolate. I do chocolate chip cookie, but

1834
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 7: not too much.

1835
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: All right?

1838
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 8: are working in an office. Which of your teammates is

1839
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 8: most likely to microwave his leftover dinner of fish from

1843
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 8: up the cubicle.

1844
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, that cubicol question?

Speaker 6: Nah?

1847
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 10: I'm aware of a smell, and I wouldn't want to

1848
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 10: do that to my teammates. That's a good question. I

1849
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:32,760
Speaker 10: can't throw nobody out there.

1850
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,560
Speaker 11: Are there too many that there are? Or is it

1851
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 11: you have so many guys who are considerate?

1852
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 14: Nah?

1853
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 7: I can't even think of one that's good there. I

1854
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 7: think no one?

1855
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 11: All right? When you score a touchdown and you're gonna

1856
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 11: score a touchdown soon? How are you gonna celebrate?

1857
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 10: First off, I'm gonna thank God because I ain't been

1858
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:49,599
Speaker 10: in an end zone yet and that's gonna be a blessing.

1859
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,600
Speaker 10: And then whatever the celebration is of the week for

1860
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 10: the defense, we're gonna turn up and we're gonna.

1861
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 7: Make it fun.

1862
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 11: You guys have weekly celebrations.

1863
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 7: Were working on it? Really, yeah, we're working on it.

1864
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 11: How much? What time do you guys spend planning.

1865
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 10: This thing throughout the week? You know, it's been pretty

1866
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 10: hard for us going forward. That's why right now it's

1867
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 10: just been a lot of fist pumps, running around, jumping around.

1868
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 10: But we're trying to get a little bit more coordinated

1869
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 10: because we plan on making a lot of plays.

1870
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 12: I like that.

1871
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 11: There's gotta be some choreography to these things.

1872
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 10: Definitely definitely gotta be choreography, I mean coordinated with it.

1873
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 8: Okay, when you're going on a road trip, let's say

1874
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 8: you're driving five six hours, what are the essential snacks

1875
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 8: and drinks that you gotta have?

1876
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, so first you got to make sure you got

1877
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 10: some water, some good cold water, and probably in like

1878
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 10: one of those those cups that keep it real cool. Yeah,

1879
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 10: maybe icy, and then you gotta have a salty snack,

1880
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 10: so I usually go with like cheese it or goldfish.

1881
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 7: Then you gotta have your Twizzlers or your airhead extremes.

1882
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 11: There you go. Okay, the beef jerky, No, some flower seeds.

1883
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:49,719
Speaker 10: Maybe some flower seats if you're trying to be healthy

1884
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 10: and you're not trying to do too much.

1885
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 8: But or if you're trying to stay awake. Man, if

1886
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 8: you're driving, because you got to like anyway, the.

01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 7: you're not following up.

1889
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 8: Man, you're taking the questions out of my I saw

01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 7: What favorite Halloween candy?

1898
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 11: When you went trigger treating and you saw it go in,

1899
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 11: you're like, yes.

1900
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 10: I gotta go with the traditional skittles and starbursts like

1901
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 10: those are easy, open them, put them, in quick and

1902
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 10: really the pink starbursts, those are crazy, all right.

1903
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's take toothbrushes, apples, books out of the equation.

1904
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 11: Like, what's the worst thing you get when you're going

1905
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:44,719
Speaker 11: out trig or treating.

1906
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 7: That's a good question. Probably a Hershey's bar. Really, yeah,

1907
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 7: that's too much.

1908
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 11: It's just the chocolate thing with it's.

1909
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 10: Kind of bland, like if maybe if it got like

1910
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 10: some some almonds in it or something, But just a

1911
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 10: regular Hershey's bar.

1912
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 11: Is too best costume Halloween costume you had growing up?

1913
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 11: Which was it?

1914
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 7: Football player?

1915
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1916
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I went as myself because I wasn't really how.

1917
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 11: When was this? I probably was like nine or ten, okay.

1918
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 10: And then my mom was asking me what me and

1919
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 10: my brother wanted to be, and we really couldn't think

1920
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 10: of nothing, and we were just like put on our shoulder,

1921
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 10: pass in our jersey and we could use our helmet

1922
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 10: like it was real simple.

1923
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 11: That's great. Those are some of the best ones when

1924
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 11: you stay simple and do it that way exactly.

1925
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 12: Okay.

1926
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 8: Would you rather have the superpower of being invisible or

1927
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 8: being able to run at light speed?

1928
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 7: Probably run at light speed.

1929
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 10: But if I ran at light speed, I probably wouldn't

1930
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 10: probably get banned from the NFL, but probably run at

1931
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 10: light speed.

1932
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 11: And if you were invisible, you'd probably get band too

1933
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 11: that too.

1934
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 7: So I'm gonna go run at light speed.

1935
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 8: Okay, last one, let's rank the Jalen's get you, Jalen Green,

1936
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 8: Jalen Hurts, Jalen Rose, and Jalen Carter.

1937
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 11: Where are they rank?

1938
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:51,759
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go Jaalen Peatree first.

1939
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 10: Good, go Jalen Row second because my parents told me

1940
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 10: that I was named after Jayalen Rose. Then I'm gonna

1941
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 10: go Jalen Green, Houston guy. Then I'm gonna go Jalen

1942
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 10: Hurts Houston guy.

1943
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 12: Yep.

1944
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:06,719
Speaker 7: Then I'm gonna go who's.

1945
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 11: The last one, Jalen Carter j rookie.

1946
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, keep the player, but we'll put him.

1947
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 11: Last, Jalen. This has been a Drews dozen. Thank you

1948
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 11: for the time.

1949
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 7: I appreciate you.

1950
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 2: I can always tell how the interview finishes, how things

1951
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 2: have gone. I don't have to listen to it.

1952
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: I can just listen to the ending, and I could

1953
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 1: tell that Jalen was holding in a laugh about like

1954
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:29,839
Speaker 1: he was holding in a sneeze.

1955
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 2: So great stuff there for Drew's Dozen.

1956
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 1: With Jalen Petrie and Drew and I had a little

1957
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: talk as we were going with the practice field. You

1958
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: know last year when Drew did his Drew's Dozen and

1959
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: Player of the Game interview with Jalen Petrie, it was

1960
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,479
Speaker 1: right before the Chicago Bears game. And if you remember

1961
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: that game, Jalalen Petrie had two picks and a sack.

1962
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 3: So if Jalen Petrie goes out and has two picks

1963
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 3: in a sack against Atlanta Falcons, guess who's on Drews

1964
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 3: dozen in our Player of the Game interview every single week.

1965
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 2: Yes, it's gonna be Jalen Petrie.

1966
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: So uh, let's make that happen because Drew would love

1967
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: to have you as a guest every single week. All right,

1968
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: let's get to Brevin Jordan. I was actually thinking about

1969
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: Brevin today because I was I was like, man, where's

1970
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year?

1971
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 7: Oh?

1972
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in Las Vegas, and that of course maybe

1973
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: think of Las Vegas native Brevin Jordan. Drew had a

1974
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 1: chance to catch up with him in the locker room

1975
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: as they were getting ready to pack to go to it.

1976
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 8: Lamp a wet got tight end. Brevin Jordan here headed

1977
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 8: to Atlanta. You know, this is an impressive defense. What

1978
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 8: challenges you guys the most? You think from this defense

1979
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 8: when you look at them on tape.

1980
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 17: I mean, they're a real tough team, a real tough defense.

1981
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 17: They really try to make guys, you know, fight for

1982
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 17: every yard. You know, that's what they really do. They

1983
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 17: like to read the scheme and just react off that.

1984
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 17: But I mean, honestly, we're not worried about any team,

1985
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 17: you know, whoever we're playing every week. We're worried about

1986
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 17: what we have to do.

1987
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 8: You know.

1988
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 17: We feel like if we are assignment sound from the

1989
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 17: center to the quarterback, to the whole line, to everybody

1990
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 17: and really all eleven guys on the field, we feel

1991
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 17: like nobody can really step with us.

1992
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, how do you guys think as an offense? You

1993
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 11: all are evolving, progressing, getting better.

1994
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 17: I would say it's honestly dramatic. From the coaches to

1995
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 17: the players, it seems like everybody just is bought into

1996
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 17: to what we're trying to do in terms of you know,

1997
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,560
Speaker 17: guys running off the ball, resetting.

1998
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,560
Speaker 1: The line of scrimmage. I mean, everybody we were playing.

1999
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:18,599
Speaker 17: With our third pretty much whole third offensive line except

2000
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 17: sack for the most part. But I mean everybody's bought

2001
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 17: in and you know, we're just real committed to getting

2002
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 17: better every week.

2003
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 8: And you're a part of that. You talk about that

2004
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 8: offensive line, you all play a role in that tight ends.

2005
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:30,560
Speaker 8: Especially what's that been like on the pass blocking, on

2006
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:32,799
Speaker 8: the the run blocking when you got to get involved.

2007
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 17: I love it, man, honestly because it it keeps defenses honest.

2008
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 17: When you have a tight end, you know that's a

2009
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 17: pass catching guy, or you have a guy that's a

2010
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,560
Speaker 17: run blocking guy pass blocking guy, teams can kind of

2011
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 17: to kind of scheme that easily. So I mean in

2012
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 17: our offense, you know me, Dald Tegan, we all have

2013
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 17: to kind.

2014
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: Of be still farm real niers.

2015
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 17: We have to be able to block in the pass protection,

2016
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 17: in the run game, and be able to run short routes,

2017
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 17: intermediate routes, and even long routes.

2018
01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 8: You've always been an outwardly energetic guy, optimistic guy.

2019
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,639
Speaker 11: How invigorated have you been by this season? Man?

2020
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 17: It's I would honestly say it's at the fresh air man.

2021
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,080
Speaker 17: You know, it's my first two years here. You know,

2022
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 17: we weren't very good, and it's it's obviously you know,

2023
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 17: everybody knows that. But there's a lot of swag with

2024
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 17: his team. You know, we got Vets, we got we

2025
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,160

2026
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:21,040
Speaker 17: everybody's bought into the system. Everybody's bought into Denico's message.

2027
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 17: And so I feel like that's just the biggest thing. Man,

2028
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:25,280
Speaker 17: when you you have all everybody on the team that's

Speaker 11: Wrapping things up. You bring up Vets.

2032

01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 2: Case is my guy man.

2037
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,040

Speaker 17: he was a guy that was throwing to me all

2039
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 17: the time. Having Case in the locker room is really

2040
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 17: a guy like that is essential. You need to have

2041
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,760
Speaker 17: a guy like that to help mentor mentor the CJ.

2042

01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 17: his presence is it is so appreciated in his locker room.

2052
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:17,760
Speaker 8: So it wouldn't surprise you for me to tell you

2053
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 8: that today when I was shooting video of you guys

2054
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 8: at the starter practice, he gave me thirty straight crutch

2055
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:26,720
Speaker 8: chops in a row kets. Brevin Jordan, thank you for

2056
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 8: the time and best of lucky gets the latter.

2057
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Brev dude for a good one, and

2058
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: I hope he's gonna be a key in this game.

2059
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: I didn't match him in my keys of the game earlier,

2060
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:38,639
Speaker 1: but would be nice to see Brev and Dalton get

2061
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 1: loose against the Falcons. As you know, Dalton had three

2062
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 1: big catches last week at one down to seam and

2063
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 1: I know for a first down later and he caught

2064
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 1: obviously this half back pass from Devin Singletary.

2065
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 3: Now a guy that has been big catching nothing but

2066
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 3: third downs, uh for first downs, and that's Bobby Trees.

2067
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:57,960
Speaker 3: Robert Woods also caught up with Drew in the locker

2068
01:31:58,040 --> 01:31:58,639
Speaker 3: room today.

2069
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 8: All right, Robert Woods, tell me about going on the

2070
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:02,799
Speaker 8: road taking on the Falcons.

2071
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 11: What do you see out of their secondary that's impressed you?

2072
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,680
Speaker 16: The most good group that aggressively finds a ways to

2073
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 16: take away the ball led by Bates back there. You

2074
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:13,519
Speaker 16: got two takeaways this year, but just a playmaker leading them,

2075
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 16: finding ways to just disrupt all passing offense.

2076
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 8: You've been on lots of teams in your time in

2077
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 8: the league, great ones, sing on the ones that struggled,

2078
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:22,639
Speaker 8: and still early in this season.

2079
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:24,559
Speaker 11: How much fun are you guys having right now?

2080
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 16: Yeah, we're having a lot of fun, playing well with

2081
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 16: each other, all units. I think our locker room is

2082
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 16: really tight. Really just just trying to play solid football

2083
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 16: and complimentary football offense, defensive, special teams. I think our

2084
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 16: bond is starting to show up on Sundays and then

2085
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 16: show with some wins.

2086
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 8: As a captain, is there stuff that you have to

2087
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 8: do to make that happen or help make that happen,

2088
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:44,600
Speaker 8: or is it mainly just what's going on on the

2089
01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 8: practice field, on the game field.

2090
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 16: A little bit. Everything's just I think just guys connecting conversation.

2091
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 16: It's really just like just being able to play for

2092
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:53,640
Speaker 16: your brother. We talked about, We've seen a lot of

2093
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 16: that on field. When you're able to have a relationship

2094
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 16: and play for your brother. You see guys give an

2095
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 16: extra push at the end of a of a run

2096
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 16: play or something like that. It just it matters to

2097
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 16: your teammates and you starting to see a lot of that.

2098
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 16: If guys might not miss a block but not have

2099
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 16: the touchdown block, guys are you know, beating themselves up.

2100
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 16: Or if guys will make a tackle and it's not

2101
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 16: a TfL. You know, guys are like beating themselves up.

2102
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 16: And I feel like that's the one thing that you

2103
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 16: see a lot of that. It matters to everybody in

2104
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 16: this locker room.

2105
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:24,200
Speaker 8: Last thing for me, what sort of impact does case

2106
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 8: Keenum and his antics in practice have on you guys?

2107
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:27,799
Speaker 7: Huge?

2108
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 16: I would say even just the leader or our team

2109
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 16: meet somebody who's kind of as loose as funny, it's

2110
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 16: kind of was cutting in the same way since OTA's

2111
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 16: I think they gave us like some tights, recovery tights

2112
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 16: when day to wear he just showed up in the

2113
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 16: weight room.

2114
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 7: It's just the tights, but it's.

2115
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:46,680
Speaker 16: Just like someone who could just like break up the

2116
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:52,880
Speaker 16: stressful days and make it fun. Ping pong champion he

2117
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 16: is as of right now, he's on the top of

2118
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 16: the leader board. It's just someone who just builds our

2119
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 16: locker room up. For like all the guys are building

2120
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 16: that relationship. I think he's the start of it and

2121
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 16: it's our old venimin weeks. I guess myself too, but

2122
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:11,719
Speaker 16: you're not that just collecting everybody from top to bottle

2123
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 16: to just be one but one unit.

2124
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 6: Of one team.

2125
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:15,759
Speaker 11: Robert Woods, thanks for the time, appreciated.

01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: bringing to the party, if you will, when he was

2129
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 1: signed this offseason. But man, he has been all that

2130
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: he was advertised to be. He blocks his guts out,

2131
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 1: he is key on third down, He's a great leader.

2132
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 1: His joy of playing the game right now is is

2133
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: rubbing off on everybody in an offense. I mean, you

2134
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:40,080
