1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Here's the snap looking Upstaball diving for the pylot that

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: he's got it, Razzle tazzle, touchdown the Coustas and the

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: Texans go in front. Game day. He's every day. We

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: had a lot of energy and we brought a lot

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: of spark for this organization. Five nights a week, they hits,

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: keep on coming, calls out. The Texans say they have

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: it and they do no. It's Texans All Excess, presented

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: by First Community Credit Union. Hello Texans, and welcome to

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: the program Mark Factory Mare with you with John McClain

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: fro the Houston Chronicle. John Harris. Of course, as we've

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: got a two hour edition of the program for you

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: tonight in the seven o'clock hour, I'll just let you

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. Then Matt Taylor, voice of

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: the Colts, nice extended visit with him, and then some

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: bonus audio stuff from Jordan Nakins and Jacob Martin, two

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be dependent upon on Sunday

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: when the Texans take on the Colts Battle Red Day.

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: And I tweeted out a picture that I have hanging

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: in my office, gigantic photograph one of those maddened ones

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: that kind of looks like a painting or feels like

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: a painting when you touch it. Don't touch it, please.

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: But it's the very first battle Red Day Aaron Glenn

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: and Eric Brown coming out of the tunnel. When the

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: Texans took on Carolina in two thousand and three. They

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: won that game, and Carolina eventually played in the Super

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Bowl in the same building and lost to the Patriots.

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: But that's the first battle Red Day. The latest battle

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: Red Day is Sunday. Anyway, Good evening, gentlemen, general. How's

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: it going and what are you thinking here? We haven't

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: seen a Texans game in over a week now, so

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: everything that's been happening lately, and of course the big

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: news of the week. Good evening. What can you share

33
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: with us? Well, I can share with this with you.

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: The Kiki qt as twice as many one hundred yard

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: games against the Colts as Will Fuller does, two to one,

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: and as long as Sean Watson is playing great, they're

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: capable of beating anybody. Great quarter backs make average receivers

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: good and good receivers great, and I think he can

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: do that. You know, it's a terrible thing. What Fuller

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: and Robie have put their teammates through. Right when they

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: built a little momentum, you think they may have a

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: chance to upset the Colts and have a three game

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: winning streak, and you lose your best receiver and your

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: cover corner because they violated the NFL's policy against performance

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: in dancing drugs. It's costing them millions and it could

46
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: cost a team. But you guys have seen before Mark,

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: when guys go down, they can galvanize a team. Guys

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: step up, and I wrote today in my takeaways on

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: our sports website, Texas Sports Nation, nobody knows them more

50
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: than coach coach Frank Wright and a wild card. After

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: the ninety two season, Jim Kelly Hall of Fame quarterback

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: was out. Rich had to step up, and all he

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: did was lead the greatest comeback in NFL history in

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I forget who he beat. I just remember

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: he did that. So he certainly knows what's that's like,

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he expects people to step up. Playing

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: with Watson and the guys, I think the benefit the

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: most would be Keek Qt Jordan Nakins, and I think

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: David Johnson back, He'll get the ball as a passer.

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's averaging ten yards a kitch, which he's

61
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: done for his entire career. And you know it's hard

62
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: to throw to the backs and the tight ends a

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: lot when you've got two guys tearing it up like

64
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Fuller and Cooks, and it's just a shame for the

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: Texans general. I don't worry too much about the pass catchers,

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: and I throw them all in a group because I

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of different ways that you

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: can throw those guys into the fray and figure it out.

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: Because you've got pass catchers, like you said, David Johnson,

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson too, great receiver, running backs, the tight ends

71
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: have been fantastic. You played Jordan Nakins O receiver if

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: you need to, and you still have cobb All. I'm

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: sorry you still have Cooks and Qt. And by the way,

74
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned the hundred yard games, he All said two

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: eleven catch games against the Colts as a rookie. I

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: don't worry about that. What I worry about is the

77
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: other side of the ball. So make me feel better

78
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: about the corners, the defense against Philip Rivers without Radley Roby.

79
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: If you can let me say something about the receivers.

80
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: You know, they don't have anybody who's gonna help replace

81
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: Fuller with the big plays. You know, the reason Watson's

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: leading the league with an eight point eight two average

83
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: per attempt, the best of his career, Fuller plays a

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: big role. They have forty six plays of twenty plus

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: yards one buying Kansas City. Fuller plays a big role

86
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: of that. And of course they lead the NFL with

87
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: twelve point eight yards a reception. So those kind of

88
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: stats I think will suffer without Fuller. They should still

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball. They should still be

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: able to score. You know, against Detroit they didn't have

91
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: many red zone opportunities because they were scoring from so

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: far out. In the last two games they've at thirteen

93
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: catches and twenty plush yards. But they can still move

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: the ball. It just won't be seeing as many big

95
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: plays down the field without Fuller. And as far as

96
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: the defense, I'll give you something to make you feel good.

97
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: The one game they played without Roby this season, a

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback making his first start through for three hundred

99
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: eight yards and a touchdown, ran for one and came

100
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: within a two point conversion of forcing overtime, and now

101
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: they're going against a seventeen year veteran making a two

102
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty fifth start of his career. Philip Rivers

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: has certainly no Jake Lewton, and it's too bad they

104
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: don't have a running game to run, run, run, and

105
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: control the ball to try to keep Rivers on the bench.

106
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: That being said, their running game is twenty first they

107
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: average only one hundred and four point four yards Texans

108
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: in the last two are given up ninety seven point five.

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 1: That is fifty seven point two yards less these last

110
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: two games than they're average. So I can see them

111
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: containing the running game of the Colts. And one thing

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they won't do. You know, we rallied

113
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: at Carson, California last year when they sacked Rivers five

114
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: times two by what and won the game. This year,

115
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: he totally changed the philosophy being reunited with Frank Right.

116
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: He's only been sacked ten times in eleven games, so

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: the key is to hit him. It's like Anthony Weaver

118
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: told us today, that's more important than actually sacking him

119
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: because he takes such a quick dropping, quick release it's

120
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: going to hurt. But he doesn't throw the ball to

121
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: those big receivers, fast receivers like Mike Williams and Keenan

122
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: Allen that he hadn't San Diego. And one more thing

123
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: about Robie Texans. If you're a Texans fan, you feel

124
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot better about him lighting up across from

125
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, who only leaves average in twenty one

126
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: point two yards to catch and nine games in Houston. Generally,

127
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: suppose it made me feel better about Roby not being there. Yeah,

128
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: I know it's it's not helping. It's not helping in general.

129
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: I didn't make you mad, did I? You're making You're

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: trying to make me upset on purpose. Listen, we don't

131
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: call him the Grim Reaper for nothing. Okay, we can

132
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: feel better about the Texans defense with Rob out There's

133
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: no way, no way, all right, So here's the deal

134
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: I want to know. And usually we get into the

135
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: AFC South talk a little bit deeper into the segment,

136
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 1: but it's impossible not to because you're playing an AFC

137
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: South team and they just played a huge game with

138
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans and lost at home. So I know

139
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: the body of work isn't in for twenty twenty yet.

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: But your review of Rivers in a Cults uniform so far,

141
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: and where do you think it's going. He has nine interceptions.

142
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: If he's throwing interceptions, they're hurting because the last two

143
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: games they run the ball. I'm not the last one,

144
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: but the two victories before that they ran the ball

145
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot better, and the Titans just went in there

146
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: and just pounded them. You know, if you're down thirty

147
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: five fourteen a halftime, you got no prayer. And so

148
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: I think if if Fuller and Robie were here, I

149
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: thought they had chanced to upset them. And it's gonna

150
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: be tough. Because Watson's two and three against the Colts.

151
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: They've been tough on him, and this is so much,

152
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: so important because they want to build that winning streak.

153
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: They'd love to stun the NFL and beat the Colts

154
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: for a second consecutive loss. But you know, the Texans

155
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: want to win, and they could win because of Watson,

156
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: but the defense will have to come up with some

157
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: more turnovers like they did against the Lions. You know,

158
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: if you can beat Matthew Stafford, you can beat Philip Rivers. Yeah,

159
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there's uh. I think there's too much

160
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: of a question in that, John, how different do you

161
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: think the Colts will be and are with the Forrest

162
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: Buckner and Nico Autry back in the lineup. And we

163
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know whether they're going to be back, but I'm

164
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: just assuming John, that they're going to be back, given

165
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: the timeline of COVID, etc. I don't know for sure,

166
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: but whether they are back or not, we saw what

167
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: they looked like last week against the Titans when those

168
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: two didn't play. That looks like a totally different not

169
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: only defense, but team when those two guys were not

170
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: on the field. And also Anthony Costanzo could be out

171
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: with a spraying MCL and we know that changes the offense,

172
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: but in particular the defense. How different of a team

173
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: do you think it is? John? Without DeForrest Buckner and

174
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Danico Autry, guys that the Colts have made an investment in. Obviously, Well,

175
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: you left an outside linebacker out, Bobby o'krenky. He was

176
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: out he had I noticed he didn't practice today. Buckner

177
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: is playing like a first team All Pro and Autrey

178
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: is their leading pass rusher with six sacks. So you

179
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: take those two guys out and a linebacker and they

180
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: got it. I can't remember who the hell the strong

181
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: safety is, but he was. He's didn't practice either. They

182
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: got that great young safety Julian Blackman, a third round pick,

183
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: and there's so much of gloom and doom over the

184
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: Texans not having their first two picks. You can find

185
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: guys like Justin Reid Julian Blackman in the third round.

186
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: You can find running backs in any round, or like Jacksonville.

187
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: They got a rookie running back James Robinson, and wasn't

188
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: even drafted, and he's on a pace for thirteen hundred

189
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: yards and seventeen hundred overall, and so I think, I

190
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: think if those guys are back, it changes the run,

191
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: but the Texans haven't been able to run anyway. I

192
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: like Duke Johnson and David Johnson will help more as receivers,

193
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: and now that Fuller's gone, that opens up more opportunities

194
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: for more players. And those guys have been more dependable

195
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: for longer than Kiki qt who had two good games

196
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: as rookie hasn't done anything since. But Qts looked pretty

197
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: good lately, and I look for him to really benefit

198
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: if he can get on the field and stay on

199
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: the field all right, we touched on Watson a bit,

200
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know if we've done it enough, because

201
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: after that game against Detroit, I thought, well, maybe back

202
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: to back AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, but

203
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: of course that was going to be difficult to achieve.

204
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: But general, what are we seeing here? I mean, just

205
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: put it in perspective for us, the kind of performance

206
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: we're seeing from Watson despite the team having a sub

207
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: five hundred record. Well, first of all, you go back

208
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: to the Pittsburgh game. Nine games, twenty two touchdowns, three

209
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: interceptions of one eighteen rating for the season, he's now

210
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: one twelve point six. He's third in the NFL. I'd

211
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: tell everybody, and I've done three Indianapolis talk shows, two

212
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: serious is, and I'd tell them all. I said, they

213
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: act like lately. I said, no, it's not lately. This

214
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: goes back to the third game of the year, when

215
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: they were beating Pittsburgh in Hinesfield in the fourth quarter

216
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: before they lost. Watson has been great and he's on

217
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: a pace for his career best yards, completion percentage, touchdowns, interception,

218
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: interception percentage, sacks, sacks percentage, average yard per attempt, and rating.

219
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: And there's probably some more I've left out. And then

220
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: when a guy is improved across the board like that,

221
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: says a lot about him, says a lot about his teammates,

222
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: says a lot about his coaching. You know, I wrote

223
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: a column this week if he keeps it up with

224
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: a new coach. Want to keep Tim Kelly as the

225
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: play caller because he and Watson obviously got a good

226
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: thing going right now. And things that Kelly's done that

227
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: are obvious, like the flea ficker, but there's other things

228
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: not so obvious. Jordan Nakin's at fullback, first carry his

229
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: career four yard run on a one yard third down play,

230
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: Farrell Brown third fifteen yards and he gets eighteen lining

231
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: up wide. He's playing a lot of guys in different spots.

232
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: It's very creative. A lot of times people create creative

233
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: and with being trick plays, no, it's a lot about motion.

234
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: Where are you lying guys up? Things you do when

235
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: the ball is snapped based on reads and adjustments. And

236
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: I think they're doing a really good job. And think

237
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: they had Saint carlos Ide was here and they were

238
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred and twenty five yards a game rushing

239
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: like they did last year, they would take even more

240
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: pressure off Watson. But because they can't run, that makes

241
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: his performance even more incredible. And if he doesn't throw

242
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: an interception, that'll be a career high seven games in

243
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: a row. The only place he could be better is

244
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: in the red zone, particularly inside the five. But if

245
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: they keep playing like they did against Detruit, they don't

246
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: need to play in the red zone. That's just so

247
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: tough to be inside the I always say this, it's

248
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: almost as if they get inside the five just gonna

249
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: false start and move back because they feel the soaking

250
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: deets down there and you're the only threat really to run.

251
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: The bad side the five has been to Shaun, so

252
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: that perspective, he's not getting much help from a run

253
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: game that could help him with some play action inside

254
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: the five. It's either he's doing it all himself with

255
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: a run, he's doing it all himself throwing it, or

256
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: it's air it's beat. That's the excuse me. The greatest

257
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: example in history when they needed a running back and

258
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: they took a guy off their practice squad and having

259
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: him covered kicks, and in the last two games they

260
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: gave him the ball. He looked good. They still didn't

261
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: know what they had because they drafted Ben taking a

262
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: second round, but never needed him because Arian Foster was great.

263
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: And when Arion was inside the five yard line with

264
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: the threat of Andre Johnson on the outside, you knew

265
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: it was money. That's why they had priorities should be

266
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: getting back, not just help the overall running game, but

267
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: to help them, like you mentioned John when they get

268
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: out close to the goal line. Yep. And that's and

269
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: the thing is Arian Foster was so darned good inside

270
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: the five. I mean he's the best. He's the best

271
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: I can remember, of course the Texans, but just a

272
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: long time watching football, how good he was inside the five.

273
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: One guy he maybe takes a backseat. Two is Derrick

274
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: Henry and John. We have seen so many running backs

275
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: get on that second contract, to get that big money

276
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: in the second contract, and then they sort of fall

277
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: at the face of the earth, especially after a year

278
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: in which they have three hundred eighty plus touches in

279
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: a year. And somehow Henry has bounced back from last

280
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: year and doing almost the exact same thing, if not

281
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: better for that Titans offense. He's been unbelievable. I don't

282
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: know how he keeps this up, John, I really don't.

283
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: But Tennessee moves to eight and three. What do you

284
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: think about that? When they had last week over the Colts,

285
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: and what Henry did other than New Orleans going to

286
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: Tampa and blowing out the Buccaneers. That was the most

287
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: impressive victory I've seen against a good team. And yes,

288
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: the Colts defense, which was an overall third against the

289
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: run and fourth tied for fourth against the past, took

290
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: a beating. But Henry's specialty run between the tackles, and

291
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: then of course he can break outside and outrun people

292
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: when he gets on the second level and not having

293
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: two guys in an eco autry, and then of course

294
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: the Forrest Buckner that hurt and Henry last year was

295
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: great over the second half, even greater in the playoffs.

296
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: This year he started earlier. I saw his stad today.

297
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Last sixteen games, he has two thousand yards and he

298
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: takes a beating. Imagine how much time he spends in

299
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: the tub and getting the most up to date metamedical

300
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: treatment he can get, and rehab treatment and massages. But

301
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: he hasn't slowed down. He got knicked up at times

302
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: in his career. There were times when he didn't carry

303
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: much against the Texans and he had to go out

304
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: of games. But now he's almost like he's invincible, and

305
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: they because of him running the ball so well, it

306
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: makes the play action game work the perfection with Ryan Tannehill.

307
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: Tannehill one time has had to throw the ball to

308
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: come from behind, and we witnessed it in person and

309
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: he was good then too. But when you have a

310
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: weapon like Henry, it makes all the difference in the world.

311
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: With a passing game, their problem up there is their defense.

312
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: And I tell you this, I know you guys are

313
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: like me and every other Texan fan. When you saw

314
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: David Qusinberry starting at left tackle and part of the

315
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: line played one of the best games in franchise history,

316
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Dad was just so uplifting. Here's David. He's thirty and

317
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: he's two officially a two year veteran. Yeah, you know what,

318
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm uplifted for Quessenberry for sure on a personal level

319
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: considering everything he's been through, but considering as a former

320
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: Texan and the Titans are doing that, I did want

321
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: to throw up. So anyway, there's that honest here, Hey,

322
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: no wonder, no wonder, you're so youth, must throw up

323
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: a lot, I do, John, I can't I get noxious.

324
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: That's the best line you've ever had. General, it was good.

325
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: I do listen, I do use that a lot. But

326
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you know, I feel it. Okay, I

327
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: feel it all right. So let's talk about this AFC

328
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: picture a little bit here, because the Colts are the

329
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: seventh team right now going in with the seven victories,

330
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: and there's still some things to settle in the division,

331
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: of course, no question about that. But general, how are

332
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: you feeling about the Raiders, maybe the Ravens, maybe the

333
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Patriots here they're they're the next teams trying to get

334
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: it in. I know the Dolphins are a wild card

335
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: team right now. With Cleveland, I feel like they're a

336
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: little bit more stable. But maybe you disagree. What do

337
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: you think of that playoff picture of these wild card

338
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: teams trying to be part of the final three getting

339
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: into the field. I don't feel sorry for the Ravens.

340
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: They brought it on themselves with blatant violation of the

341
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: protocols for COVID nineteen. I felt bad for the Bronton

342
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: I didn't. I felt bad for the Broncos quarterback who

343
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: had to play, But they had blatant violations of the protocol.

344
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: How at this time of the year can you have

345
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: blatant violations and guys not wearing mask and taking off

346
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: their contact tracing bracelet. Baltimore that strength coach, they get

347
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: to throw the book at them. But the Raiders, that

348
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: was one of the biggest other than Tampa getting blown

349
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: out and home by the Saints. That may have been

350
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: the most mysterious loss of the ceiling, coming off a

351
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: close loss at Kansas City in which everybody touted the

352
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: Raiders going to be dangerous in the playoffs and they

353
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: just get obliterated by the Falcons. And I think that's

354
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: great because if you're a Texans fan, you should want

355
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: the Falcons to keep winning. So Arehem Morris keeps his job,

356
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: gets hired on a full time basis, and that takes

357
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: one more candidate off the list that the Texans might

358
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: be interested in. But I'll tell you, like Arizona, if

359
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: Arizona loses Sunday, they're gonna be six and six. I

360
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: think you can say bye bye to them. It's clear

361
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: Kansas City is the best team in the NFL, and

362
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: I think the second best team maybe New Orleans, New

363
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: Orleans got the number one defense in the NFL. Where'd

364
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: that come from? And then the Steelers are unbeaten, But boy,

365
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: it's a shaky unbeaten. They want a lot of close games.

366
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: They're beating some bad teams, but I don't see anybody

367
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: beating the Chiefs right now. Yeah, it's gonna be tough

368
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs, no doubt. General, what do you

369
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: think of the Ravens with a skeleton roster keeping that

370
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: thing close? And they were within one floated past the

371
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: James James Washington away from maybe getting the ball back

372
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: to have a chance to win that thing. What do

373
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: you think of the way the Ravens battled after all

374
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: that went on with them to keep that one close. Well,

375
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: I was hoping RG three because these Eisman Trophy winner

376
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: from Baylor would play well. He ran for twice as

377
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: many yards as he threw for. But that passed by

378
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger that you mentioned. There were three players on

379
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: Washington and it'll go down as a great play in

380
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: an intense, bitter rivalry. But man, that ball could have

381
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: been intercepted or knocked down, and I still don't think

382
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens would have pulled it out. But my goodness,

383
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: that was dangerous. But hey, when you're unbeaten and take

384
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: chances like that, I'm pumped about the rest of the season.

385
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's crunch time in December. Other than the

386
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: first game in the playoffs, this is the best time

387
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: when separates the contenders from the pretenders and something at

388
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: a great time of the year. I just hope that

389
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen doesn't have as much an impact on games

390
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: from here on out as it did in Denver Baltimore. Well,

391
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: that's what I'm wondering general, and I guess nobody really knows.

392
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: But this week, I mean, that was close. And if

393
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: somebody tweeted out what actually has to happen for a

394
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: game to be canceled? And I think it's a crazy

395
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: you can't field enough players. I'll tell you what it is, Mark.

396
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: They have sixteen players on a practice squad for a reason,

397
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: and the reason they moved the Ravens constantly as they

398
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: were worried about a health factor because so many people

399
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: in the organization were coming down with it. It was

400
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: unprecedented in any sport. The reason they didn't move the Broncos,

401
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: as Roger Goodell told every team we're not moving games

402
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: for competitive reasons. So if you have fifteen starters out,

403
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: whether say fifteen or injured, that's why you got a

404
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: sixteen player practice squad. I think they would cancel a

405
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: game if you couldn't field the team, because competitive reasons

406
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: is not a reason to cancel a game. And there'll

407
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: never be a forefeit. I can't believe some people talking

408
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: about a forefeit. That's ridiculous. But they got the eighteenth

409
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: week they could play. I think they will have to

410
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: do that. I think they're just trying to avoid at

411
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: all costs because they don't want to have to play

412
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: a nineteenth Wait, John, if they go to the eighteenth,

413
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: is that pretty much an automatic for eight teams per

414
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: conference or what are you thinking here? I think they're

415
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Anyway, they floated that idea and didn't

416
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: everybody like it, and we got exciting races. And I

417
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: go back to eighty two when they played nine games

418
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: and they put so many teams in the playoffs, only

419
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: two had losing records and they lost in the first round,

420
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: and people were excited about it because it kept more

421
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: teams in the race to the end. And then there

422
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: were more cities fired up in the playoffs, and of

423
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: course Washington eventually won. But I hope they do do that.

424
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: But John, if they're gonna do that, I mean, as

425
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: Burgess Meredith said in Rocky Too and Adrian woke up,

426
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: what are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?

427
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: Let's do it now, because you know what, then the

428
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: Texans can get in that. In the Hunt column, Johnny

429
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: and I have that as a goal for the team.

430
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: In a media cult, really, I think everything is about

431
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: the virus. Of course, and he changes daily to see

432
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: the NBA they did their first round to tests while

433
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: people have been at home, and they had a record

434
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: number test positive. Remember in the NFL before training camp,

435
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: there were a lot of teams, including the Texans, that

436
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: had multiple positive tests. And then when they got together

437
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: and the teams did such an incredible job, you had

438
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: fewer and fewer. I think it's amazing Seattle has not

439
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: had one positive test. Well, the Texas have been doing

440
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: pretty well overall. Texans have done a great job. Overall,

441
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: John job, a tremendous job. Oh then again, by the way,

442
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: in general, you tried to you did try to John

443
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: Weeks and he wasn't having to see of that, so

444
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: that one Jinks was defeated. So Anthony Weaver brought that up,

445
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: don't jinxes, And of course I didn't have a problem

446
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: doing that with John Weeks because five years ago he

447
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: told me when I was talking to me as a locker,

448
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: hey man, don't jinx me. And so far I haven't

449
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: been able to Jax and every snap of his career

450
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: has been perfect. That's why John Weekes is the best

451
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: snapper in the NFL, and I believe the greatest in

452
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: NFL history. Second, great, General, thanks so much of the

591
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: a it was a great ending. I don't know, it

592
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: was a great game, but I just sat there, come

593
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: of mesmerized by the crowd and like, man, that's what

594
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: games used to look like. Look at that. That's pretty cool.

595
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: That's great. And so watching games you know from years past,

596
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: it's just it's wild. It's and I can't wait to

597
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: get back to it. I hope we get back to

598
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: it sometime soon so we can all remember what it

599
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: was like. But it's just bizarre, you know, like you

600
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: said to hear the crowd, like, oh yeah, that's what

601
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: it used to sound like. It's pretty cool and it's

602
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: real crowd. It's it's not the homogenized you know. It's

603
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: like it's like the non dairy coffee creamer. It's just

604
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: not as good. You know, it can you can serve

605
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: the purpose, it's just not quite the same thing. Okay,

606
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: let's see if we can get this one going. Now,

607
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: this is Rosencopter. Now, remember that nobody knew it was

608
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: going to be called Rosencopter at the time, right, So

609
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: it just sort of happened. And I was wondering, did

610
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: I say rosencopter during the call? There's no way I did,

611
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: But did I even say helicopter? Well, let's listen in

612
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: and find out how this one went down as we

613
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: saw it live. Remember, the Texans are up seventeen and

614
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: they're in Colts Territory and Rosenfells is trying to pick

615
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: up a first down in a third down situation and

616
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: just sort of ice this game or go toward icing

617
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: this game. So let's let's drop into NRG Stadium, two

618
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, Week four, third and seven at the

619
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Colts thirty nine yard line. Treason in motion to the

620
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: left eye formation behind Rosenfels, who bootlegs out to the

621
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: left side. He's got a lot of room. Flag down

622
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: Rosenfels across the thirty five. He's helicopter. He follows the

623
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: football it's picked up, taking across the forty forty five

624
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: fifty right sidelain brackets, still going thirty twenty five, twenty

625
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: fifteen ten five touchdown Colts a disaster for the Texans.

626
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I held it together pretty well there under

627
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 1: said though you said it, though you said helicopter, you

628
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: get you you're the reason that it turned into rosencopter,

629
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: Which I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I mean

630
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: that play will live on, that play will live on

631
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: in history forever. But you said it. You right, You

632
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: didn't miss a bee. You're like Rosenfeld's helicoptered. I mean,

633
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: that's that was what it was. That was good, how

634
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: you held it together and weren't throwing stuff out of

635
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: the booth like I would have been my goodness, Holy smoke,

636
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: I have no clue how that happened. I have no clue.

637
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I just it just it worked out pretty well. Um.

638
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: You know, I just think that, look, this this is

639
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: one of those plays that's gonna live forever. And Rosenfels

640
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: has talked about it a lot, and you know, it's

641
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: just it's you know, it's the Texans version of Bill

642
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: Buckner or whatever. It's just one of those things. And

643
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: and I don't want to put that on sage, although

644
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox and Buckner have made up, right

645
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: they have. Yeah, and this is a regular season game,

646
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: it's only Week four, but that's kind of you know

647
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: where we're at here with this thing, Okayn, Can I

648
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: can I vent a little bit on this? Sure? I

649
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: want to vent a little bit about about the Red

650
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: Sox on this. They never offered ever an apology or

651
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: anything to buck Then they win the World Series and

652
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: they want him to come throw out the first pitch

653
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: the following year, like heck no, you you idiots were like,

654
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: no Buckner. Curse the Buckner on top of the curse

655
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: of Ruth. Oh, but now we've won the World Series

656
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: and now all is forgiven. No you knuckleheads. No, you

657
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: should have forgiven him the next year. You should have

658
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: had him thrown out the first pitch the next year,

659
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: but instead you went rudgers for the next thirty years.

660
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: I got news for everybody in Red Sox Nation. They're

661
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: losing that game anyway, even if he makes that play,

662
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: They're losing the series. It was melting down anyway. It

663
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: was gonna go bad for them. There was no question

664
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: in my mind that they would have lost out the

665
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: next trainings. Had it gone another inning, they would have

666
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: gone three and out in the next inning, three out,

667
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: three out the next inning, and then the Mets would

668
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: have scored because that that at that point, when he

669
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: throws the wild pitch, it's tied. And so now you're like,

670
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: now the Mets are just playing with the house money,

671
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: and of course, hey, you know, but but you're right,

672
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. That game as soon as that thing,

673
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: as soon as Stanley's pitch went to the backstop, they

674
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: were dead. And then they held a grudge against him

675
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: for twenty five years. I think there were four straight

676
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: clean Bass hits before that error. Okay, so you know

677
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: you give that up in that situation, forget it. Okay,

678
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: back to this now one more cleansing highlight because we

679
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: played the Chris Brown winner. That was the first time

680
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: the Texans ever beat the Colts. That was two thousand

681
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: and six. We played Rosencopter from two thousand and eight.

682
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: Then next time the Texans beat the Colts was twenty ten.

683
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: The opener Arian Foster two thirty one, including this run

684
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: cut back left sideten twenty twenty five thirty right sideline

685
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: forty forty five fifty ten out of thouands in Cults territory.

686
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Arrian Foster tis the Texans some breathing room of forty

687
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: one yard run forty one yard roun Arian Foster part

688
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: of his two thirty one that day, I think three

689
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the afternoon and led the league in rushing

690
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: that year. It was a monumental day at NRG Stadium.

691
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: Unfortunately a six and ten season. How about that? That's

692
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: unbelievable that you start off the season like that. That

693
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: offense was so good, I mean so good and couldn't

694
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: win a game because a Jiri Ratutu kept coming to

695
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: your horror version of would come into NRG Stadium and

696
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: gets eight thousand passes or the game winner in some respects.

697
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: But you know, it's funny, Mark I heard I can't

698
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: remember who said it. It was you this morning. It

699
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: was maybe Landry John, I can't remember, but they were

700
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: talking about that twenty ten Colts game and they made

701
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: a comment and I was kind of like, whoa, hold up.

702
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: They were like, nobody knew if Arian Foster or what

703
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: he could do. And and then Ben Tate was drafted

704
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: and then Ben take out hurt and that's why Arian

705
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: Foster stepped into be the start. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,

706
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: whoa whoa. That is revisionist history. Arian Fostered the very

707
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: first day of OTA's in twenty ten, I knew absolutely

708
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: was the starting running back. It wasn't even close. If

709
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: you'd been up there that day, you would I remember

710
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: going back to my radio station going, uh, Foster's the guy.

711
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: It'd be nice to have one two combination, but Foster's

712
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: the one, and they're like really like yeah, yeah, yeah,

713
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: he is the number one guy. Clearly, it wasn't he

714
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: was started because Ben Tate got hurt. He was starting

715
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: because he was that much better than Ben Tate. You

716
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: know what made me nervous in that draft though it's

717
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: there you are in the second round and everyone's talking

718
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: about Toby Gearhart, right, and there you have him in

719
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: the crosshairs and Rick Smith drops down a few picks,

720
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: right yeah, and ends up taking Tate, which you know,

721
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: also his name was coming up in in what media

722
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: conversations outside looking in and so I thought, okay, Ben Tate,

723
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: that they liked them, they liked him better. Gearhart didn't

724
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: turn out to be you know, a Pro Bowl or anything,

725
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: did he. No, he never went to the Pro Bowl. No,

726
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: he never Pro Bowl. And yeah, and he and Garrett

727
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: was banged up in Stanford and then held it together

728
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: for a year and then he was just a big

729
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: power back that just got the you know what beat

730
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: out out of him. You can make anybody miss, and

731
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: it just it took its toll on him eventually, and

732
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: that's why we ended up not seeing him for very long.

733
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: Arion different story. He made people miss, He made people

734
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: look absolutely sick. And of course he was running behind

735
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: that offensive line which was which is still as of now.

736
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: That offensive line you know, from the oh nine through

737
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven years is the best, the best, it's

738
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: the best that we've seen and I'd like for this

739
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: one to get there. I still think we're missing a

740
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: piece maybe and maybe some more time together. But that

741
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: was just it was the best offensive line. And you

742
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: know it's funny, Mark, I was watching the twenty eleven

743
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: the playoff game I was at the when I was

744
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: at the beach October, I was watching the playoff game,

745
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that offensive line was so perfectly suited

746
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: for what Gary did and how they cut guys on

747
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: the backside, which you now really you really can't do.

748
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: But I still think they would be good today. There's

749
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: no question. I still think they'd be very, very good

750
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: because they could all move, they could all run, and

751
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: and then when they made contact, they knocked people off

752
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: off the spot when they needed to, not always knocking

753
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: them three four yards back, but they just knocked guys

754
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: off the spot and random where they didn't want to go.

755
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 1: And then Arian was so good seeing where the cut

756
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: was and where the cut needed to be, and he

757
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: didn't hesitate. It was just one foot boom go uh.

758
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: And he became so good at that, and they just

759
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: worked hand in glove, and man, what would you give

760
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: to have Arian Foster in his prime on Sunday against

761
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: the Colts. Oh man, well, I mean with that line

762
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: and everything. Sure you'd love to love to have all

763
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: that stuff, but you know that's that's just football. And

764
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,520

883
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers limited participation after missing yesterday's practice with his

884
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: toe problem, and I just think he should take the

885
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: rest of the year off. Come on, rest up, big guy,

886
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: for next year or for the rest of your life,

887
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: and just you know, sit this one out in the

888
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: rest of your career. Thank you. Also, full participation. Trey Burton.

889
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: That's a dangerous tight end. I'm sure Johnny's going to

890
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: talk about him tomorrow and how this defense has to

891
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: deal with Trey Burton, who could be a real problem

892
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: for this football team. Sorry about my computer going off there,

893
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: justin Houston. Full participation today after resting. Trey Burton had

894
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: some rest. A lot of these guys this time of year, yes,

895
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: some veteran players who get a lot of rest. Okay,

896
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: especially you got like Justin Houston, who's older than I am.

897
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,479
Speaker 1: No he's not, but he's older. Jack Doyle sat out today.

898
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: He's a talented to tight end. Not injury related rest. Now,

899
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: as far as the text since went today, Ross Blacklocke

900
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: rookie still out with an illness, not COVID Culin Gillespie up.

901
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: He's been battling injuries all year. Another back problem or

902
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: a back problem for him, another day off and CJ procice. Now,

903
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: this is one we're watching closely. Although David Johnson apparently

904
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: looks pretty good in practice. We'll see how he gets

905
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: back into the mix. This is gonna be interesting how

906
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: they work Johnson back into the lineup. I don't think

907
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be exactly the same. I think they're gonna

908
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: be creative with it and we'll see how they put

909
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: it all together. Lonnie Johnson knee limited, Brian Anger quad.

910
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: He's been battling that at the putter and he's been

911
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: still out there doing his thing. So he's listed bud

912
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: He's still doing his thing all right. So COVID obviously

913
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: huge problem for so many different reasons, and lockdown is

914
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: a huge reason. I mean, COVID nineteen, how many of

915
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: us are mostly at home since March really and some

916
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: people can do their jobs effectively, others camp. But the

917
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: point is this, lockdowns are a big issue. And I

918
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: spoke with doctor Alicia Roba Show from Houston Methodist, and

919
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: she talked about a bunch of different things related to

920
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: being locked down. Health included frustrated. You get this tired

921
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: of being locked down. You get tired of not being

922
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: able to see your friends. People are social and so

923
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, when we can't see people,

924
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: whether it's our loved ones or our friends, we just

925
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: get really sound. We get into where you know, we

926
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: turn into ourselves and sometimes we just we don't feel

927
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: as good. We get fatigued, we get down, we get anxious,

928
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: we get angry. But overall, you know, the entire world

929
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: is kind of dealing with this, and holiday we day

930
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: stress is hard, and financial stress is hard, and COVID

931
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: we're just worn out. Well, we have a lot of

932
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: people who might not have such great healthy habits during

933
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: this time. And you know holidays are tough enough, and

934
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: now you have the lockdown on top of it. What

935
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 1: are some of the things that you tell people better

936
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: ways to take care of themselves during this time. I

937
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is making sure to stay busy.

938
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: The problem is a lot of us kind of stay

939
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: at home and we don't have anything to do. There's

940
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: plenty of things that you can do while at home,

941
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: and if you set a schedule to make sure that

942
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: you're moving around and being busy, and a lot of

943
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: times we do better than if we didn't. So I

944
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is put exercise on your schedule.

945
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: If it's cool enough where you can walk outside, go

946
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: outside and walk that's not crowded. You do not need

947
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: to wear a mask, but if you are walking in

948
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: a crowded place like in Memorial Park or some of

949
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 1: these other areas where there are a lot of people,

950
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: please bring your mask. You can also put on some

951
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: dance music and dance inside. You can do this with

952
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: your family and exercise releases, having hornmones, so a lot

953
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: of times just moving around and doing squats and lunges

954
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: and jumping jacks and running in plays for fifteen to

955
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: thirty minutes can really make your spirit get a little

956
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: bit more lifted. That's doctor Elisia Roba show of Houston

Speaker 1: and the Texans go in front game day. He's every day.

1069
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a

1070
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. Five nights a week,

1071
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: they hits, keep on coming, blue out. The Texas say

1072
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: they have it, they do. No, it's Texans All Exits

1073
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: with no Thursday Night Football. We have a bonus hour

1074
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access and let's kick it off

1075
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: with Matt Taylor, the voice of the Indianapolis Colts, followed

1076
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: by bonus stuff with Jacob Martin and also coming up

1077
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more with Jordan Aikens, the Texans tight end,

1078
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: who will be called upon a lot on Sunday, we think.

1079
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: But Matt Taylor, voice of the Colts, he's been at

1080
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: it for a few years now, and I started the

1081
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: conversation asking him about how it's been in that booth

1082
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: for Indie this year during the pandemic. Well, it's certainly

1083
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: been different. I mean home games are for the most

1084
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: part the same in that we're actually at the game,

1085
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: which is always great story At Lucas Oil Stadium in

1086
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: the press box, doing the games like we normally do,

1087
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: but it's different this year. I feel like I'm in

1088
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: a like a phone booth or a cubicle because there's

1089
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: plexiglass between me and the analyst, just because of the

1090
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen protocols. So we're all affected. As far as

1091
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: that goes. Home games are still They're still loud, but

1092
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: obviously not as loud as they normally are at Lucasoil Stadium.

1093
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: The cap at as far as attendance this year has

1094
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: been around twelve thousand, five hundred fans. But I give

1095
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: those people that you know, the people that are coming

1096
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,919
Speaker 1: to games, they are making a lot of noise. It

1097
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: does feel somewhat normal because you have crowd noise in

1098
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: the background, and you know crowd, you know, booing when

1099
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: things go bad and cheering when things go well. So

1100
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: it's it's normal as far as that goes. Road games

1101
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: are a completely different story for us. You know, we're

1102
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: not traveling with the team to make sure everybody on

1103
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: the crew, the broadcast crew is safe and healthy, so

1104
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: we've been doing everything remotely like a lot of people

1105
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, which is fine, it's different. It's taking

1106
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of getting used to, but we do

1107
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: all that from Lucas Oil Stadium up in the control room.

1108
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: That's the room where they kind of do all the

1109
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: in house production stuff, you know with the JumboTron, So

1110
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,959
Speaker 1: it's kind of all set up as far as that goes.

1111
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: We just kind of take it over on a non

1112
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: home game when the Colts are at an So it's

1113
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: been different. It's taken a little bit of adjusting two.

1114
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: But hey, we're still working, we're still calling games, we're

1115
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: still getting on the air, and that is really what

1116
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: it's all about here in twenty twenty as we all

1117
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: make sacrifices and kind of just to the new modern

1118
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: times here and you're you're seeing a team that was

1119
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: in first place up until last week when the Titans

1120
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: got to the Colts. So tell me about the last

1121
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: few weeks here, because you had to win against Tennessee

1122
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,919
Speaker 1: at their place, they beat you at your place. So

1123
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: what's that been like jockey for a position atop the division. Well,

1124
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: the month of November mark has just been a gauntlet

1125
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: here for the Colts. It was a meat grinder. I mean,

1126
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I know, you know, the Texans kind of went through

1127
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: that at the beginning of the season. But the month

1128
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: of November featured five games Detroit, Baltimore, Tennessee on the road,

1129
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: at green Bay at home, and then Tennessee again. And

1130
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: the Colts win three and two in that stretch. But really,

1131
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, the games that really mattered against teams that are,

1132
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, AFC you would call playoff teams, and certainly

1133
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: the Packers and the NFC are a playoff team. The

1134
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: Colts went two and two, so I think realistically they

1135
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: got through that stretch. They managed it. I guess that

1136
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: would be the appropriate way to say it. They managed it.

1137
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: They didn't have a losing record. I thought they got

1138
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: a signature win in overtime against green Bay. They got

1139
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: a really good win against Tennessee on Thursday Night a

1140
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. But the loss that I think is

1141
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: really gonna you know, I think set this team going

1142
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: forward in a negative way. To see how they bounced back,

1143
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: is that loss on Sunday to Tennessee. I think it's

1144
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: it's gut check time for this team. You know, the

1145
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: AFC South lead, as you said, was on the line

1146
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: when Tennessee came in on Sunday. Both teams were seven

1147
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: and three, and Tennessee just they flat out came in

1148
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Mark and they wanted it more. They just played I

1149
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: thought harder, they executed better. Derrick Henry ran all over

1150
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: the Colts. The Colts on offense, they lost Anthony Costanzo

1151
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: at left tackle. They were playing with a lot without

1152
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: a lot of key players due to COVID deals and injuries.

1153
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: But you know what, nobody cares. Every team is dealing

1154
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: with all that stuff. You know, Week twelve of this

1155
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty pandemic riddled season, so everybody's in the same boat.

1156
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: There's no excuses. You know. Tennessee just came in and

1157
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: they they they you know, they absolutely took it to

1158
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: the Colts. There's no there's no you know, sugarcoating in it.

1159
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: They won forty five to twenty six. The defense gave

1160
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: up a season high end points in one a half.

1161
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: They gave up thirty five to Tennessee. Um. So, you know,

1162
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: the things that the Colts have been doing oh well

1163
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: all season long, they did not do at all well

1164
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: in this game on Sunday. You know, they gave up

1165
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: some big plays down the field to a J. Brown

1166
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, as I said, ran for one seventy eight

1167
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: on offense, they turned it over. Uh, they just couldn't

1168
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: get anything going with Philip Rivers in the passing game.

1169
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's gut checked time now for the Colts.

1170
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: With five games to go, they still have a shot

1171
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: at the playoffs. But now with you know, here in

1172
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: the month of December, the margin for air is pretty

1173
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: slim and all of these games are agnified now for

1174
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: the Colts if they want to be playing in January.

1175
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts, joining us on Texans Radio.

1176
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: All right, so Philip Rivers a little bit up and down,

1177
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 1: but mostly up this year. What have you seen? What's

1178
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: your review of Rivers as a cult so far? You know,

1179
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I think Philip Rivers has played exactly the way that

1180
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: the Colts envisioned him playing when they brought him in

1181
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: a free agency back in March. He was a guy

1182
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: that and I thought it made a lot of sense

1183
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: for them to make that move in this again pandemic

1184
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: filled season where he knew Frank Reich, he knew the

1185
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni. Those three guys all worked together

1186
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 1: in San Diego with the Chargers, where Frank was the

1187
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: OC Sirianni was the quarterbacks coach. They had some really

1188
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: good years together, putting up a lot of points, and

1189
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, Rivers had some of his individually speaking best

1190
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: years in the passing game. So just coming in before

1191
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: the season even started, he knew eighty five to ninety

1192
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: percent of the playbook. So not being on the field

1193
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: together during the summer and during OTAs and not having

1194
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: a preseason, all of that I think affected the Colts,

1195
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: but not to the extent that it maybe would have

1196
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: affected other teams, just because of the familiarity between those

1197
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: three guys. So I think here, now that we're past

1198
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: the halfway point of the season with Rivers, you're really

1199
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: starting to see him settle in and become really comfortable

1200
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 1: with what the Colts are asking him to do. And

1201
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: that's not a ton They're not asking him on a

1202
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: week to week basis to throw the ball like Patrick Mahomes,

1203
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: where it's you know, fifty attempts per game, three hundred yards.

1204
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Rivers has been completely solid and in control and knows

1205
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: where to go with the football, you know, on basically

1206
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: every play. I think in the last five games here

1207
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: He's hovering around seventy percent completion percentage and has only

1208
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: three interceptions in that span, has eleven touchdown passes and

1209
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: is really what the Colts on offense with Philip rivers mark,

1210
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: what they do is they spread the wealth. You know,

1211
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: they have at least eight guys that have caught a

1212
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: pass and game this season. They've had eleven guys catch

1213
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: passes in two games. That's a season high. And so

1214
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, one week it might be Naiem Hines, another

1215
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: week it might be Michael Pittman, another week it might

1216
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: be t Y Hilton. You just don't know. They spread

1217
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: the ball around very very well. They simply take what

1218
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: defenses give them, and they have a lot of really

1219
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,719
Speaker 1: good playmakers. I talked about the receivers, but they also

1220
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: have good tight ends and Trey Burton and Moiley Cox

1221
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 1: backs out of the backfield with Jonathan Taylor and Naim Hines,

1222
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different guys that can beat you,

1223
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: and the Colts just simply kind of take where the

1224
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: defense gives them and they take advantage of the matchups

1225
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: on a given play. Well, it's gonna ask you, Yeah,

1226
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 1: when they're playing well offensively, what's going right, And I

1227
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: think you just told us what's going right. And I

1228
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: know that Texans fans are curious about t Why because

1229
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: he's been a real thorn in the side, maybe a

1230
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: dagger in the side of the Houston Texans over the years.

1231
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: And what kind of t Why are we seeing in

1232
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Well, you know, we talk about this in

1233
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 1: Indianapolis a lot, and you know the way we always

1234
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: describe it here with t Y Hilton not having a

1235
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: breakout year. He's not on pace for a thousand yards.

1236
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: He scored his first touchdown just last Sunday against Tennessee,

1237
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: and so all those things are a little bit eyebrow

1238
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 1: raising here with Colts fans. But t Y Hilton's value

1239
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: to the Colts has changed over the years since Frank

1240
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Reich has come on board as the head coach. Used

1241
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: to be, you know, t Y Hilton had to have

1242
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: a one hundred yard game in order for the Colts

1243
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: just to have a chance to win. You know, with

1244
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck back in the day of Mark, it was,

1245
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, those five and seven step drops and throw

1246
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: the ball deep down the field at Ty Hilton. And

1247
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 1: a lot of times it was playing the Texans he'd

1248
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: have huge games. And I'm not trying to pour salt

1249
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: in the wound. But t wise value to the Colts

1250
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: is a little bit different this year because their offense

1251
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: is quick rhythm. It's a little bit West Coast. I mean,

1252
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: we all know Philip Rivers gets the ball out in

1253
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 1: less than two and a half seconds. He sees the

1254
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 1: defense gets the ball out. I mean that's led to

1255
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: his low sacked numbers on the year. So t Y

1256
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: Hilton is just not that guy where they need him to,

1257
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, catch fifty yard bombs anymore. The numbers are

1258
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: a little bit down and they're less dependent on t

1259
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Y Hilton watch. I think overall is a good thing.

1260
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: But if he just watched the take, t Y is

1261
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: still I think an elite receiver. He's still getting open.

1262
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: Nothing has really diminished as far as his individual play.

1263
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: It's just his value to the Colts is much different

1264
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: since Frank Reich has taken over. Okay, so defensively, Matt,

1265
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: what is going well? Defensively? We've heard a lot about

1266
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: this unit. I know they didn't play well against the

1267
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: Titans on Sunday, but what have you seen other than that?

1268
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people have been raving about the

1269
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: Colts defense. Well, I think the Forest Buckner coming over here.

1270
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: It was a draft trade. The Colts traded their thirteenth

1271
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 1: overall selection to the forty nine ers for DeForest Buckner,

1272
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: and he really has made a ton of difference. I mean,

1273
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: he affects every layer of that defense. It gets pressure

1274
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: up the middle from the year. Obviously, he commands double

1275
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: teams in the running game, he helps the linebackers scrape

1276
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: free and make plays. But I think the biggest impact

1277
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: he's had on this team is in the secondary, where

1278
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: guys in the back end don't have to cover as

1279
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: long and quarterbacks are having to make hurried throws or

1280
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: more hurried throws this year as compared to last year.

1281
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: And so when he wasn't out there on Sunday, he

1282
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 1: was one of those COVID guys for the Colts. I mean,

1283
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: you notice, he just makes that much of a difference

1284
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: and that much of an impact. So hopefully the Colts

1285
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: can get him back into this game against the Houston Texans.

1286
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: But you know, big picture, on the Colts defense, they're

1287
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 1: stopping the run at an elite level. They're not giving

1288
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: up big plays for the most part. And they just

1289
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: they you know, you're talking about a defense here under

1290
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus and year three. The core of this defense

1291
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: guys like Anthony Walker and Darius Leonard, some of these

1292
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: guys on the defensive line. This is now year three

1293
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: for them in this same system. So they can play

1294
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: this defense and they can make these calls and make

1295
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,679
Speaker 1: these justments like the back of their hand. The problem

1296
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 1: for the Colts, you know, if you want to just

1297
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: talk about this game from a big picture standpoint, is that,

1298
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, the second half of games for the Colts

1299
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: has been great for the most part. The first half

1300
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: of games has been a problem defensively, especially these last

1301
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: two games. The Colts played the Packers and the Titans,

1302
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: and combine numbers. In the first half of those two games,

1303
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: the Colts have allowed nine touchdowns, sixty three points, and

1304
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: over five hundred and fifty yards. So Colts fans are saying, hey,

1305
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: why can't we get the Colts defense in the second half,

1306
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: in the first half and for a complete game. That's

1307
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: what they're trying to accomplish. You know, these last five games,

1308
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: because you know, you're you're down fourteen points of the Packers,

1309
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: You're down twenty one points the Titans at halftime in

1310
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: these last two weeks, and remarkably, the Colts are one

1311
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: and one in those games in this two game stretch,

1312
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: so they're trying to play a full sixty minute ball

1313
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: game on defense. But for the most part this season,

1314
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 1: the Colts have taken advantage of a week schedule at

1315
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season and then they just sort

1316
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 1: of continue that momentum defensively here as they're a top

1317
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: ten unit across the board and yards passing yards and

1318
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: against the rush as well. Matt Taylor, Voice of the Cults,

1319
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: joining us, Matt, what about the Titans? You just saw

1320
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: them up close and personal. How good do you think

1321
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: they are? The Texans lost to them deep and over time.

1322
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: What do you think their prospects are down the stretch. Well,

1323
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: I think they're good. I really do. I think they're good.

1324
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: And not to oversimplify things, but they're just an old

1325
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: school football team, and you know, the recipe to beat

1326
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 1: them is not hard to figure out, but it's hard

1327
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 1: to execute it. That's just how good they are. You know.

1328
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: On offense, obviously you have to stop Dereck Henry. The

1329
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: guy is literally a running freight train. He can run

1330
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: over you when he gets downhill. He's got the perfect

1331
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 1: blend of size, speed and power. And then you know

1332
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: when that running game was working, Mark, You guys know

1333
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: that play action pass for Tennessee is a huge part

1334
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: of their arsenal. And then you have to take away

1335
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 1: the big play to a J. Brown And the Colts

1336
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: didn't do any of those things against Tennessee last Sunday.

1337
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 1: A J. Brown had a seventy yard catch for a touchdown.

1338
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 1: As I mentioned Henry, I mean, had it not been

1339
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: for them kind of taking the foot off the gas pedal,

1340
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: he would have been over two hundred yards rushing. And

1341
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill was pretty efficient in the passing game. You know. Defensively,

1342
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: they're a little bit of you know, I would say

1343
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of their achilles heel, But when

1344
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: their offense is humming, it doesn't matter because they play

1345
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 1: with the lead. So again, I think they're really really

1346
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: well put together team and it's not hard to figure

1347
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: out how to beat them. But that's just how good

1348
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: they are in terms of their execution when they play

1349
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: with the lead, and they kind of keep yet Bay

1350
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 1: on defense, they are a tough out for sure. Matt.

1351
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 1: How do you think it's been with these teams playing

1352
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: with few or no fans and how it's affected them.

1353
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,799
Speaker 1: What's your take on that. I feel like they've gotten

1354
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: used to it to a degree. The Texans were in

1355
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: Detroit for Thanksgiving. It was but they brought their own energy,

1356
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 1: and I think teams have had to get used to that.

1357
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: But what do you see it out there's you watch

1358
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: us watch NFL football with virtually no fans out there. Yeah,

1359
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: it's you know the Colts, I mean the AFC South,

1360
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 1: The Colts and Texans are playing, you know, the NFC

1361
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: North this year, and I don't think any of those fans.

1362
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: Maybe the Cleveland Browns that I had fans if I

1363
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 1: remember correctly, but at any rate, most of those teams

1364
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: and the NFC North do not have fans. You know,

1365
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: the Lions didn't have fans, The Bears didn't have fans.

1366
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: And just to your point, you're exactly right, just watching

1367
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 1: those games feels eerie, It feels bizarre. And you know,

1368
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: from a broadcast standpoint, you know, we played the Bears

1369
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: in Week four. The Colts score a touchdown with Mobile,

1370
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: they Coxie gets into the end zone, and guys are

1371
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 1: kind of just like looking at each other, like how

1372
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: do we how do we handle the celebration here? You know,

1373
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: most of the most of the guys are kind of

1374
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,919
Speaker 1: like looking around, like expecting there to be a penalty

1375
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: when they score a touchdown, because it's just quiet, Like

1376
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: that's normally what happens when you have something go well,

1377
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: but it's quiet, it's it's usually something negative that's happened

1378
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: with a penalty or someone was off sides or something.

1379
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: So they're always kind of like just looking around waiting

1380
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 1: for something negative to pop up. But yeah, I mean,

1381
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,759
Speaker 1: going back to what I said at Lucas Oil Stadium,

1382
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: when the Colts do have fans and the stands, it

1383
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: makes a world of difference, I think, just in terms

1384
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: of the atmosphere and the energy, especially in the Colts

1385
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 1: defense is on the field they feed off. I mean,

1386
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: every defense for that matter, feeds off the crowd and

1387
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: the atmosphere and the momentum of the game. And so

1388
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: when you don't have that on the field, you have

1389
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: to kind of generate that. You kind of have to

1390
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 1: generate that hype, that momentum trying to make a play.

1391
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,839
Speaker 1: That's where guys like for the Colts. Anyways, Darius Leonard

1392
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: and Anthony Walker and Justin Houston come into play because

1393
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: those are leaders on that side of the ball, and

1394
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: they try to bring up everybody's energy to their level

1395
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: when they're out there, whether there's fans or no fans,

1396
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: regardless of the venue. All Right, man, I've asked you

1397
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: Indie sports questions from time to time, So tell me

1398
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: this one. In a non COVID world. If somebody asks

1399
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: you what kind of sports town is Indianapolis, what is

1400
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: it like? What kind of sports town is Indie in

1401
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 1: a non COVID world, what's your answer? I mean, I

1402
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:19,879
Speaker 1: think it's one of the best sports towns in the country,

1403
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 1: I really do, you know if you I mean not

1404
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 1: to get in all political and economical on you, but

1405
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: if you go back to the eighties, Indianapolis sort of

1406
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: doubled down as a city on sports, to be honest

1407
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: with you. You know, they've built the RCA Dome before

1408
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 1: they even had the Colts. You know, the PanAm Games.

1409
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: They've always had the Indianapolis five hundred. But they've they've

1410
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: built all these venues to attract sporting events and sporting teams.

1411
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: You know, the Pacers have been a great franchise in

1412
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: the NBA. You know, a beautiful venue there at Banker's

1413
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: Life Fieldhouse. They're having the NBA All Star Game there

1414
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: in a couple of years. It was supposed to be

1415
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: next year, but it got moved back because of of

1416
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: COVID and everything. But Lucas Oil Stadium has hosted multiple

1417
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,600
Speaker 1: final fours. You know, when when the NC Double A

1418
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 1: comes out and they say we're trying to create like

1419
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: a bubble environment for the NC Double A tournament, not

1420
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: just the final four, but the entire tournament. The first

1421
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: place they turned to is Indianapolis because it's just a

1422
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 1: great sports town that has all these venues in and

1423
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: around the city that could support, you know, a sixty

1424
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 1: eight team bubble tournament. I talked about the five hundred. Obviously,

1425
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: racing is a huge part of the culture here. You've

1426
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: got NASCAR here, You've had in the past Formula One

1427
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: come in. There's there's the I mean, the Super Bowl

1428
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 1: for crying out Loud has been in Indianapolis in a

1429
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: cold weather environment in February. So I just don't think

1430
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 1: there's many, you know, cities in America that can pull

1431
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: off the success sports wise that Indianapolis does. I mean,

1432
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Tournament is always here. Uh, the NC

1433
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: doublea football National Championship game is coming here in a

1434
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: couple years. There's nothing Indianapolis can't pull off, and they

1435
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: do it. They do such a good job with the

1436
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,680
Speaker 1: convention Center and then all the venues that I just

1437
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 1: talked about, they all kind of come together. And when

1438
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: when you hear all the time about who's your hospitality,

1439
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: it's a real thing. People around here to love having

1440
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: big events because unlike in other big cities where a

1441
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: big event might come in and it might just be

1442
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: like one of you know, five or six things going on.

1443
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: When when the Big Ten Tournament comes to town or

1444
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: where they know the Final Four comes to town, it

1445
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: literally takes over the whole city. It is a huge

1446
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: event and everybody comes in from all the different suburbs

1447
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: to partake downtown and just the atmosphere and you know,

1448
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: the great Who's your Hospitality that I talked about that

1449
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: Indianapolis consistently pulls off. All right? What more for you?

1450
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: What are people saying? What do you think of the

1451
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,519
Speaker 1: Houston Texans Right now? As you headed to Sunday's game

1452
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:56,759
Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium. Well, they're an interesting team. Obviously record

1453
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: wise they're four and seven, but to me, they don't

1454
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: look like a four and seventeen, you know, like Denverse

1455
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: four and seven, like Denverse A four and seventeen. Houston's not.

1456
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: They're much better than that. And I think you know

1457
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: they found a little bit you obviously know better than me,

1458
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 1: they found a little bit of rhythm in some momentum

1459
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: with Romeo Cornell. I think you know. They're four and

1460
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 1: three under him as an interim coach. Disappointing start obviously,

1461
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,600
Speaker 1: with a no and four record and then one and

1462
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: six to begin the season. So it's gonna be interesting

1463
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 1: to see what their offense looks like now without will Fuller,

1464
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: because when he's healthy, and he's played the Colts a

1465
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: few times healthy, he's made them pay. And without that

1466
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 1: big playability, I'm interested to see what the passing game

1467
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: looks like. Obviously Robie being suspended that's a big hit

1468
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: to their defense. But the big thing for me is

1469
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: just you know, watching just an incredible player, you know,

1470
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: nine game stretch here with I think twenty two touchdowns,

1471
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: only three picks, well over one hundred passer rating. I mean,

1472
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: in the last six games, he's just made a lot

1473
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:05,559
Speaker 1: of defenses look silly. Seventy percent completion percentage, sixteen total

1474
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last six weeks, no turnovers. I think

1475
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: he and Patrick Mahomes are probably the two best young

1476
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the game. And I think as long as

1477
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 1: you have him and you know, a pretty good solid

1478
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 1: offensive line blocking for him, you're always going to have

1479
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: a shot. And that's why I think this game on

1480
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: Sunday between the Colts and Texans, it's gonna be a

1481
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: stereotypical Houston Indianapolis ball game. It's gonna come down to

1482
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: the wire. I think it's gonna be a last two

1483
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 1: minute type of thing, a one possession game. And don't

1484
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:36,679
Speaker 1: think for a second, just because the Colts are seven

1485
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 1: and four and the Texans are four and seven, that

1486
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: people here in Indianapolis think this is just going to

1487
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: be an automatic w Okay, Well, we're really looking forward

1488
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 1: to it, Matt, and I really appreciate the time. Thanks

Speaker 1: Geiko is almost better than watching football. Think about it.

1505
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 1: When you're watching the game, yelling at the quarterback to

1506
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 1: throw the ball, throw it, Williams is wide open. Why

1507
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: are you doing this to me? Use that rocket arm?

1508
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: Come on, they don't listen to you. But if you

1509
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 1: went into a Geico office and yelled, someone please help

1510
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,679
Speaker 1: me save some money on car insurance, everyone would hop

1511
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: to it, except the intern because it's his first day

1512
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: and he doesn't even have computer yet. See better switch

1513
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: and safe with Geico, It's almost better than sports. Even now,

1602
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,800

Speaker 1: have no Will Fuller. We'll see how it shapes up.

1604

Speaker 1: But he's been having a good season, no question about it.

1605
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: Drafted a couple of years ago. This is year three

1606
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: for Aikens and he's doing a fine job. Third round

1607
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,759
Speaker 1: draft choice of the Texans. He was also a baseball

1608
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 1: draft choice. And what's upout a time? A receiver converted

1609
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: into a tight end and we start the conversation there.

1610
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 1: This is from a Texans players show a few weeks ago,

1611
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: and I'm talking to him about his weight. Sorry about that.

1612
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: When you retire, which we hope isn't for a very

1613
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: long time, like in a decade or whatever, what way

1614
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 1: do you think you'll be at afterwards? Because he said,

1615
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, keeping on the weight, keeping on the muscle,

1616
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: however you're doing that. What weight will you eventually settle

1617
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 1: at in your non football playing days? Oh, I think

1618
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 1: i'd been around two twenty five. So what do you

1619
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 1: What kind of things do you eat to keep the

1620
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: weight up, and what kinds of things do you do?

1621
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 1: Because it's not like you can just go to what

1622
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: a burger and go nuts? I know that, So you

1623
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 1: have to be very controlled about it, very deliberate about it.

1624
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: Tell us about that part, um, Yeah, I mean I

1625
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 1: pretty much stick to my healthy routine, you know, my

1626
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: baked foods and you know my vegetables and my cars.

1627
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: But I just double low honestly, try to eat more,

1628
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, bigger portions and snack throughout the day as well. Well.

1629
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 1: Everybody in the listening audience is insanely jealous right now,

1630
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:44,599
Speaker 1: I want to double my portions. I mean, yeah, most

1631
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 1: of us are on the opposite side of that kind

1632
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 1: of thing. How difficult was it though, in the off season,

1633
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 1: away from the facility to do all of that stuff.

1634
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: I know, you guys are meating digitally. You probably had

1635
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot of advice, but you had to take care

1636
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 1: of it on your own for the entire offseason, right. Well,

1637
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,320
Speaker 1: they were very helpful. Um, they said our care packages

1638
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 1: as well as food. Um, you know, they did the proteins,

1639
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 1: they did the you know, the as far as liquids,

1640
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:16,799
Speaker 1: they sent out liquids as well, vidration. They he pretty

1641
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 1: much said out everything. Man. It came in like a

1642
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,560
Speaker 1: little portion meals like you have, for example, zucchini you

1643
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,720
Speaker 1: have like ground turkey, you have rice, like brown rice.

1644
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 1: So um. They kind of kind of trained me mentally

1645
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:31,519
Speaker 1: how to cook my own food or how to prep it.

1646
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: And um, once I got that down, me and my

1647
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: me and my girlfriend, we pretty much took over after that.

1648
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 1: So you would get creative with it in the kitchen

1649
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: and I would eat pretty much all day. All right,

1650
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 1: So you were drafted as a baseball player by the

1651
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers, right, it's so tell us about that when

1652
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 1: you were drafting third round, I believe, and what led

1653
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: to the decision I'm gonna play baseball. I'm going into

1654
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 1: that and a little bit of about your experience. I

1655
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 1: know it's not like you went to the major leagues,

1656
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 1: but you played pro baseball for a while, which is impressive.

1657
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: What was that like for you at getting into it

1658
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: and working in that field? It was wonderful. Man. Baseball

1659
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 1: is my number one love, and um, you know, it

1660
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 1: was always my dream to play baseball, and um, you know,

1661
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,640
Speaker 1: I got drafted out of high school, and you know,

1662
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 1: I come from a very poor background, so you know,

1663
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was the best opportunity for me to,

1664
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, as far as get some money in my pocket,

1665
01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 1: help out my family, you know, and and that type

1666
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 1: of thing I was saying, It just matured me a lot.

1667
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,760
Speaker 1: I was eighteen years old, you know, money that I

1668
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 1: didn't know how to manage, so, you know, and I

1669
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 1: it was difficult, but it taught me a lot of lessons.

1670
01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:52,759
Speaker 1: You know, I came a long way. I'm mature. I learned,

1671
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I went back to school because

1672
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: you know, baseball wasn't really working out for me. I

1673
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: wasn't where I really wanted to be in the game

1674
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,879
Speaker 1: at the time. I'm gonna play four years. I traveled

1675
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 1: West Coast, I played in the Dominican Republic, Kick Green,

1676
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Spokane, Washington, Yeah, Arizona, Surprise, Arizona. And I

1677
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: decided to go back to college. In twenty fourteen. I

1678
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 1: walked on to the football team. I committed there back

1679
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 1: in high school, and I told Georgia Olarry, if I

1680
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:28,559
Speaker 1: ever decided to go back and play football, that will

1681
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 1: come play for him. So that's it. I kept my wording,

1682
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 1: he kept his word, and when I walked on his scholarship,

1683
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 1: it's been blessings ever since. Tell me what it's like

1684
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 1: getting drafted, Because you're drafted right out of high school?

1685
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 1: What's that next month or so like? Because did you

1686
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: sign pretty soon after the draft and then did they

1687
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: ship you off to rookie ball in surprise Arizona? What

1688
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:54,200
Speaker 1: what's all that like? It was super fast. As soon

1689
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 1: as I got drafted, I think I flew out within

1690
01:32:56,400 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: the next week or two. So I reported immediately to

1691
01:33:01,040 --> 01:33:03,439
Speaker 1: rookie ball, like you said, And it was in a

1692
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 1: surprise Arizona, and um, you know, I just trained there.

1693
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,879
Speaker 1: I played there for a year and I didn't progress.

1694
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:15,599
Speaker 1: The next year, I stayed there again and played again there,

1695
01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 1: and then they skipped me another level the next year.

1696
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 1: So um, immature, meaning it was pretty cool. I enjoyed it.

1697
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Were you just studying, You're just thrown together with a

1698
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:28,280
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who were straight out of high school essentially,

1699
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:31,960
Speaker 1: And what was that like, I mean straight to high school,

1700
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 1: dress out of college, you know, the guys coming in

1701
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,599
Speaker 1: for trades. It was. It was very different for me.

1702
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:42,599
Speaker 1: I was lost because I didn't really you know, back then,

1703
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't really big into email, so like as far

1704
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 1: as I didn't have no kind of agenda what I

1705
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:48,920
Speaker 1: was doing during the day. So when I got there,

1706
01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:51,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even check into my hotel room. I went

1707
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: straight to the field and I did not know that

1708
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,320
Speaker 1: they had a cafeteria there, So I'm just setting there starving,

1709
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, eating off like little the peanuts and stuff.

1710
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 1: Like some power seas and stuff I see in the

1711
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: cloubhouse and I just really didn't have no guidance, so

1712
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: it didn't really know where it was. I really wanted

1713
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 1: to go home. But um, you know, once I learned it,

1714
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 1: learned the system and have somebody you know, got me

1715
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 1: through it. You know, it was a great experience for me. Well,

1716
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 1: it sounds like they could have done a better job

1717
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:21,759
Speaker 1: in their onboarding process. That's all I have to say.

1718
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:25,599
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakins joining US SUN Texans Radio. What do people

1719
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: not know about a ball, about a level baseball and

1720
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 1: how hard it is to jump up and what they're

1721
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: looking for? What do the listeners not understand about how

1722
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:40,679
Speaker 1: difficult it is to rise in the minor leagues. It's

1723
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: a grind, man, It's a grind, and you can't really

1724
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 1: control it how fast you moval where you go. So

1725
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 1: it's like, I mean to be honest, man, you just

1726
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 1: you can you'd be playing your best ball. You know,

1727
01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:57,920
Speaker 1: you can be playing your best ball, hitting the ball,

1728
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:02,800
Speaker 1: playing great defense, and you won't you won't progress at all,

1729
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 1: and you could also be doing the worst. You know,

1730
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 1: but you can have great defense or vice versa. You

1731
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: can have bad defense and great stick you know, offense,

1732
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 1: and you can progress. So it's just a game. It's

1733
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:17,519
Speaker 1: kind of like a mind game, you know. I feel

1734
01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:23,240
Speaker 1: like baseball coming shout of high school, I'd rather I

1735
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 1: think it would be better if kids come out of

1736
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 1: college because it's like on the mental level, you know,

1737
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:32,720
Speaker 1: it can be very difficult for a teenager telling what

1738
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 1: you know now about baseball versus football. Would you have

1739
01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 1: taken a different route and not done baseball and just

1740
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:43,400
Speaker 1: gone straight into football. Um, in my situation, I wouldn't

1741
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:46,200
Speaker 1: change anything. But if you know, if I had the resources,

1742
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 1: if I had to, you know, if I had the

1743
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 1: financial stability, I would definitely go to college route first, Well,

1744
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:56,440
Speaker 1: Central Florida. I mean that's a that's a big time program.

1745
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 1: And I know it's not a Power five or whatever,

1746
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:01,400
Speaker 1: but they could beat at that level, there's no question.

1747
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 1: So that must have been nice to be there after

1748
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 1: being in the baseball experience, right to be at a

1749
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: college campus and the training table and everything they have.

1750
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 1: But the other side is you got to go to school,

1751
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 1: so which is good too, but but you got to

1752
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: go through that grind of it as well. So what

1753
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 1: was that like getting readjusted to being an amateur athlete,

1754
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 1: if you will. It was kind of different. Well, it

1755
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 1: was a different a lot my class when I was

1756
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 1: a freshman, that was a class I supposed to graduate with.

1757
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 1: Actually when I came in twenty fourteen. You know, I

1758
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,240
Speaker 1: committed to UCF back in high school. So I was

1759
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:37,599
Speaker 1: taking my visits and going down there every weekend, every

1760
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,640
Speaker 1: chance I got. And so I got to know the

1761
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 1: guys you know, very well at school. So when I

1762
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:47,639
Speaker 1: went back, they were graduating. I had a season with them,

1763
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: and then when it left, that's when it really changed.

1764
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 1: It was a lot of young you know, I was

1765
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: around a lot of young kids and a lot of

1766
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 1: young men, I'm gonna say kids. And you know, the

1767
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: music changed, the swam change, everything just changed. Man. I

1768
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 1: was used to Mary straight. Scott Frost come in. He

1769
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 1: changed everything around. You know, we can swag out on

1770
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,439
Speaker 1: the field and stuff like that. It was a big

1771
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: change for me. But I enjoyed it, and I really

1772
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Man. You said you you talked to Georgio

1773
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:21,879
Speaker 1: Leary about if you ever went and then the football

1774
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 1: route that you'd want to play for him. But how

1775
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: did the two of you ever even connect because before

1776
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,640
Speaker 1: you were playing baseball. So how did you how did

1777
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 1: you get in with the head football coach there? M

1778
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 1: I knew a Larry before the baseball How's that? In

1779
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:41,680
Speaker 1: high school? I was, I was getting recruited him. I

1780
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 1: signed to UCF out of high school. Before I got

1781
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 1: drafted to baseball. I told him that if the baseball

1782
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 1: come around, I'm going to take that. I want to

1783
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,000
Speaker 1: take that if I get drafted as high as I

1784
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: wanted to be, which I was fortunate to. You know,

1785
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 1: it happened, and um, that's what happened. I went back

1786
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 1: and I basically just promised him, like if I come

1787
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: back to school and I'm gonna come play for you,

1788
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come play for you. See that? And he said, well,

1789
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 1: whenever you're ready, you know, I'm waiting on you. And

1790
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: every season, at the baseball seasons, I would get calls,

1791
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, he would check on me, say what I'm doing,

1792
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 1: and he was. He's a baseball fan as well, So

1793
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: we have a pretty good relationship. What is that like

1794
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: being at the Senior Bowl when you show up and

1795
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 1: you see all these other college seniors and it's an

1796
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 1: NFL tryout you're part of the team, yet you know

1797
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: you have to shine as well because you only have

1798
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:34,640
Speaker 1: that week. It's not like you're building a team for

1799
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: a season. You're building a team for one week, and

1800
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: you better look good in the process, especially in the practices, right.

1801
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's nice to look good in the game,

1802
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 1: but a lot of the scouts aren't even there for

1803
01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:45,559
Speaker 1: the game. So what was that like? That experience for you?

1804
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 1: It was cool and you definitely better shine, especially if

1805
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 1: you're claiming the national championship that year. So it was

1806
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:54,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people went to moving when I went in,

1807
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 1: but a senior Bowl, you know, and it was in Alabama,

1808
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:00,799
Speaker 1: so they didn't make it no better. It was cool.

1809
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. I knew that I could compete

1810
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: with the kids. I'm just I just was thankful for

1811
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity. And when we got out there, we had

1812
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 1: a great time. We made some great relationships and played

1813
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,679
Speaker 1: ball and you know the challenge Sean from there Jordan

1814
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: Nakens joining us on Texans Radio. So the reaction when

1815
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:19,040
Speaker 1: you got drafted, did you go kind of where you

1816
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,040
Speaker 1: expected to go? Did you think you might get picked

1817
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,320

01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:35,080

1821
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,160

1923
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,839

1924
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: talking about influence and inspiration. Who were some of the

01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:49,799
Speaker 1: pro football players you really admired, Who influenced your style

1926
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 1: of play? Who inspired you as you were coming out

1927
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:57,560
Speaker 1: through high school in college? Vowing up for me? I

1928
01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 1: always looked up to my big brother, you know, because

1929
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:01,880
Speaker 1: I never like he was four years older than me,

1930
01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:04,760
Speaker 1: or he is four years older than me. Um, but

1931
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 1: like he he went through everything before I did, you know, so,

1932
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:10,680
Speaker 1: like he was the first one to play football out

1933
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 1: of all of us. And I just watching him play

1934
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: football and watch him learn, and um being around him

1935
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 1: and being like, uh, you know the water boy, you know,

1936
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 1: for the for the high school football team and then

1937
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 1: things like that, Like I really I really learned a

1938
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: lot from him. From him, um and really, UM just

1939
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:30,160
Speaker 1: kind of just took from him. But um, as a

1940
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 1: pro players were growing up, I would say Michael Strahan,

1941
01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:39,680
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor, von Miller, Jared Allen, whole bunch a whole

1942
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 1: bunch of whole bunch of dudes. You know, Brian dall

1943
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:43,600
Speaker 1: I love the way Brian Dawkins like mentality is. You know,

1944
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:45,920
Speaker 1: I love the way I used to watch like his

1945
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 1: weapons video before every game in high school, you know,

1946
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: and uh, just things like that. You know, dudes, dudes

1947
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: that just played with a just like a different edge

1948
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 1: about him. You know, they just looked fast, They just

1949
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 1: looked like they hit a little bit harder. They they

1950
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:04,880
Speaker 1: just threw themselves around a little bit more, you know. Um,

1951
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 1: dudes that really just played with the reckless, abandoned. Those

1952
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: those are the dudes I really looked up to. Jacob

Speaker 1: game game sometimes, and I loved the For some I

1968
01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 1: was just drawn to the East Coast like I was loved.

1969
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,920
Speaker 1: I loved these coaches, you know, just that that change

1970
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: the pace in life, you know, um. Because how I

1971
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 1: got there was I was actually committed Colorado State. At

1972
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 1: the time, I think I didn't I didn't really want

1973
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 1: to go there, you know, I didn't want to stay

1974
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: in Colorado, and nothing nothing about I just didn't want

1975
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:18,599
Speaker 1: to stay in Colorado, you know, I just wanted to

1976
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:20,880
Speaker 1: change the center, you know. And at the time my

1977
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 1: brother was playing Brother Canca Chiefs. One of the assistant

1978
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 1: linebacker coaches, Mark da Leone, his dad coach that Temple

1979
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: are new coaches at Temple and he knew Matt rule

1980
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So he sent my film out

1981
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:35,600
Speaker 1: there to I think March's dad at the time was

1982
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 1: that Ukons. They sent my film to Yukon and Temple

1983
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:40,680
Speaker 1: and UCF and other schools called me back from from

1984
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,599
Speaker 1: the American and Um, I decided to take a visit

1985
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: to Temple. And when I got to Philly, got off

1986
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 1: the plane. You know, my mom's biggest thing for us

1987
01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 1: was asking yourself, could you really live here you know

1988
01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:55,000
Speaker 1: for the next potentially four to six years, you know.

1989
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 1: Um and like I for not even seeing the campus,

1990
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, just like driving through the city up to

1991
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:04,640
Speaker 1: the campus, you know. Uh, I loved it, you know.

1992
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 1: And being in Northfield isn't for the for the fan

1993
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:09,560
Speaker 1: of heart for sure. You know, there's not there's not

1994
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 1: a whole lot of green stuff around there. It's Philly.

1995
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:15,719
Speaker 1: I loved it. Brock Street is not exactly. Yeah, Green Space,

1996
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean it is, it is. It is the real

1997
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 1: deal that you play your games in the link right

1998
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 1: at Lake A Financial Field. So that was pretty cool

1999
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL stadium. Yeah, that was dope,

2000
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, that was that was really fun um to

2001
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: be able to play on that field and just had

2002
01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 1: that that experience, you know, because now it's just it's

2003
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 1: just normal. Now I got to the NFL. Wasn't a

2004
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: big deal of playing on NFL field. You know. Pardon

2005
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 1: my ignorance and not knowing this, but as a rookie,

2006
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 1: did you did you play there with Seattle or no? Uh? Yeah,

2007
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,240
Speaker 1: Now if I would have played, you know, I didn't

2008
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 1: because the Texans played there in twenty eighteen, the year

2009
01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:55,200
Speaker 1: before he got there, and just you know, like, I'm

2010
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:57,680
Speaker 1: we're not players or anything, but my goodness, it was

2011
01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:01,559
Speaker 1: like you get assaulted verbally if you're not on the

2012
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles sideline. I was like, wow, this is and

2013
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:07,840
Speaker 1: you know it sometimes from time to time it happens

2014
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:11,799
Speaker 1: in other stadiums too, but it's a whole other level.

2015
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 1: They're in Philadelphia. Jacob Love, I love love Philly fans.

2016
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 1: Man love Philly fans. They were going strong before the

2017
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:23,400
Speaker 1: game even started. Guys are gonna lose their voices and

2018
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 1: we're just doing the part. Yeah, don't worry. I could

2019
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: I could only imagine. I could only imagine what happened.

2020
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: We're just doing the broadcast, guys, not even I'm not

2021
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 1: playing the game. But go ahead and boom me. It's

2022
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 1: totally fine. Remember that guy that was yelling, I mean

2023
01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:38,400
Speaker 1: he was yelling so hard. It was like a full

2024
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 1: body workout. This guy, I mean, there's not going to

2025
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 1: lose his voice. Thinking of you think about the plays,

2026
01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 1: You think about it, like Philadelphia is like as a

2027
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:49,599
Speaker 1: as a sports city. You know. Then they throw batteries

2028
01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 1: at Santa Claus or something like that, snowballs and batteries. Yeah,

2029
01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:54,559
Speaker 1: they say it's urban legend, but I doubt it. You know,

2030
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 1: they boot Santa Claus. They they I saw it on

2031
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 1: NFL films. Yeah, now, I'm sure it happened. Is it

2032
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:05,759
Speaker 1: true that they were piping in noise for the Eagles

2033
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:08,599
Speaker 1: games and they even piped in some booze at well,

2034
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. They wanted to make

2035
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 1: an authentic experience. I have no idea. Hey, but you're right,

2036
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 1: Now you're in at your house and you're in this

2037
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:24,800
Speaker 1: really cool room with a bunch of jerseys and memorability

2038
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 1: up on the wall, and you showed us beforehand your

2039
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:31,200
Speaker 1: number nine jersey from Temple. Now, they don't give out

2040
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:36,600
Speaker 1: single digit numbers to many defensive players in college, do they. No? No,

2041
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 1: why did you choose nine? How'd you get that? What's

2042
01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 1: the story behind it? Well, single digits at Temple, you

2043
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 1: know started I don't know who started. I want to

2044
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:46,760
Speaker 1: say that might have been out Golden who started that,

2045
01:51:47,320 --> 01:51:50,640
Speaker 1: or even Bruce arians who started that. I don't I

2046
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:52,360
Speaker 1: don't know where. I don't really, I don't really know

2047
01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 1: what coach started the single digit tradition, no matter, no

2048
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,599
Speaker 1: matter who that coach is. The coaches had no input

2049
01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 1: on who received a single digits whatsoever. You know, Um,

2050
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 1: they don't get a vote they I'm gonna say, it's

2051
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 1: just voted among the players, and they could be taken

2052
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 1: away from the players as well. You know, it's and

2053
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:18,160
Speaker 1: it's reserved for those guys, um that are tough, dependable, smart, fast, physical,

2054
01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 1: U elite competitive, whatever whatever category that is, you know,

2055
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 1: on or off the field, UM, in the weight room,

2056
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 1: in and out and the reason why it's that way,

2057
01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 1: why we have the players vote on it, is because

2058
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 1: the players are going to hold you accountable. You know,

2059
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:35,800
Speaker 1: the the brotherhood in the in the temple of locker

2060
01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 1: room is is is different than a lot of places.

2061
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 1: You know that that culture is so deep within that building. UM,

2062
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:46,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who is who the coaches. You know

2063
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 1: that that's what that will always be a staple of

2064
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:53,000
Speaker 1: Tump University and UM. And the players do a good

2065
01:52:53,080 --> 01:52:56,439
Speaker 1: job of holding, you know, a voting in the guys

2066
01:52:56,479 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: that they think are deserving of to have those numbers.

2067
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:01,719
Speaker 1: And it's been times where numbers have been taken away

2068
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 1: as well. But you gotta be a dude to get

2069
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 1: to get one of those and to have one, you know,

2070
01:53:07,640 --> 01:53:09,880
Speaker 1: for to be able to hold one for more than

2071
01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 1: one year, you know. So so that leads into my question,

2072
01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 1: when did you get the number nine? What were you

2073
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:16,920
Speaker 1: before nine? And then how did you how did that

2074
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 1: transition happen where you got the number nine? So before

2075
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 1: I was nine, I was actually number ninety one, and

2076
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:25,200
Speaker 1: I got number nine my junior year or the end

2077
01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:27,120
Speaker 1: of my end of my sophomore year, I got nine.

2078
01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm like going into that going into that junior season.

2079
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:36,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I had my junior senior year and

2080
01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:39,599
Speaker 1: I was number nine. You know, as a play by

2081
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:42,280
Speaker 1: play announcer, I really love the way the NFL does

2082
01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 1: it because it kind of keeps everything. You know, if

2083
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:47,080
Speaker 1: I see something somebody in the fifties making a tackle,

2084
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 1: it's a linebacker. Although the linebackers have changed over the

2085
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:53,320
Speaker 1: year's right, we're seeing more forties. I mean, you have

2086
01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:56,680
Speaker 1: like a twenty eight. You have weird linebacker numbers in

2087
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:59,759
Speaker 1: this era of football. But let my question is this, Jacob,

2088
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:02,360
Speaker 1: if you had it your way, would you blow all

2089
01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: that away and say let's open it wide and you

2090
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:08,920
Speaker 1: could do things like that like single digits for some

2091
01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:11,680
Speaker 1: and you know, have a team vote for others or

2092
01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:13,760
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Would you do it if

2093
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 1: I made you commissioner in charge of that sort of thing, No,

2094
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:22,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. That's just like in college, I remember that

2095
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:25,439
Speaker 1: was a headache. You know, it's hard to identify people

2096
01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 1: that way. You know, like if you're on like special

2097
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:30,200
Speaker 1: teams or something, you don't know if this guy's a

2098
01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:32,520
Speaker 1: fast guy or or like, oh god, you don't know

2099
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 1: who's trying to run you over or what or trying

2100
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 1: to run by it. So no, no thing that's refreshing,

2101
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:42,120
Speaker 1: that's good. I like it. Let's keep it the way.

2102
01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:43,960
Speaker 1: It is not bad at all. But you know, you have,

2103
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:46,960
Speaker 1: like the wide receivers now, I mean twenty years ago

2104
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 1: it was hard to find a wide receiver in the teams.

2105
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 1: Now they're all in the teams virtually. You know, you

2106
01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:55,240
Speaker 1: still have some in the eighties, but eighties look so

2107
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 1: old fashioned now. When you see a wide receiver in

2108
01:54:58,160 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 1: the eighties, now you think about that. Honestly, it really does.

2109
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:04,840
Speaker 1: I just think it's funny. Look, it would drive us

2110
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 1: nuts with the offensive lineman in particular. You know, if

2111
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 1: there was an offensive lineman with three or something, it

2112
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 1: would just drive me crazy. So or deep or like

2113
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:17,919
Speaker 1: it or like it's like a three hundred pound nosee guard. Yeah, exactly.

2114
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:20,240
Speaker 1: We can't have anything like that going on. All right.

2115
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 1: So last year you're traded to the Texans. What was

2116
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:26,120
Speaker 1: your reaction. I mean, that's gotta be as a professional athlete,

2117
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:27,880
Speaker 1: it's got to be kind of shocking when you get

2118
01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:29,600
Speaker 1: the news like, oh, by the way, you're going to

2119
01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:33,360
Speaker 1: another city, and what was your reaction and who were

2120
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: some of the people who in the locker room reached

2121
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:38,400
Speaker 1: out really made you feel welcome at first when you

2122
01:55:38,440 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 1: got here. Yeah, man, the trade really threw me off,

2123
01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:44,520
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, because I've never experienced the

2124
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:46,880
Speaker 1: trade before and my brother has never experienced a trade,

2125
01:55:46,920 --> 01:55:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, so I didn't even have like like an

2126
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 1: asking point. You know, they has this really worked? You know?

2127
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 1: It kind to me by surprise obviously. You know, I

2128
01:55:57,640 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't spake to be traded, but you know, is it's uh,

2129
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,440
Speaker 1: it's a blessing for sure. It was a blessing for sure,

2130
01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm thankful that I was traded for

2131
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:10,520
Speaker 1: for such a quality player. And um so I thought

2132
01:56:10,560 --> 01:56:12,480
Speaker 1: that that they thought of me in high regard to

2133
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 1: bring me in and to let me tell me step

2134
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:18,440
Speaker 1: into whatever kind of rule they asked me to, you know,

2135
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 1: but when I got here, I'd say, Whitney, scar B

2136
01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: mac Zach. The linebackers are what welcomed me and Mingo

2137
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:27,640
Speaker 1: with open arms, you know. So you know, so it

2138
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:30,680
Speaker 1: was awesome. A little bit on Jacob Martin there, we
