1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: It's time to break it all down, what happened and why?

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to Texans Monday, presented by Houston Methodist, also brought

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: to you by Geico and by Papa Johns Houston. On

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: second down and seven, Watson fakes the gift, sprints out

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: of the right, Deshaun throwing back across his body, hits

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: bounds for a first down at the forty two yard line.

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Back across the body for the first down, throw and catch,

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: and the Texans can kill the clock after the two

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: minute warning. Oh yeah, don't try this at home, folks.

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean that is Deshaun Watson. At the quarterback clinic,

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: they say, yeah, never do this unless you're Deshaun Watson

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: and you're able to throw back across your body like that.

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: I mean, how many people thought, Oh my gosh, is

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: he gonna go out of bounds? Is he gonna throw

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: it away? He's gonna stop the clock, or we're gonna

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: have to punt to them and like play defense again.

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: And I hope you get out of there with a

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: win somehow, some way with your defense which is all

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: banged up. But no, Watson said, I think I'll just

Speaker 1: have those two tackles, right, didn't have those two tacks.

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: They weren't in the city. They weren't on the roster

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: when you played Kansas City, and that was two weeks ago.

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: They weren't on a fifty three man roster. That's right,

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Skipper on a practice squad, Clark on a couch. Yes,

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: And they're with the Texans now, and when you needed

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: drives to score, they're in the game for you. There

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: there they are. Those guys are in there, and you

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: got to find a way to make it through and

00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: they did and thank goodness for number four. So you're

56
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: absolutely right. I want to I'm glad you kind of

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: went there, So go with me. Make sure my math

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: is correct here, Okay. On offense, yeah, you're without in

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. On neck go ahead drive. You're without Fuller,

60
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: without Tunsel, you're without Titus Howard, was three anybody I'm

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: missing now, But those are big missings. Yeah, DeAndre Hopkins,

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: well yeah, that's big. And you also had Darren Fells too.

63
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: You have Darren Fells and DeAndre Carter did some things

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: for you, Yeah he did. He had that forty six

65
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: yard catch. It was huge. But but you're without those

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: three guys on offense, right, Okay, so those guys are

67
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: all star sets three. So stay stay with me on this.

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: And then from the five oh eight mark of the

69
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: second quarter, defensively, you are without Bradley Roby, Jonathan Joseph

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: to Sean Gibson, Lonnie Johnson, j J. Watt Out. On defense,

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: you're without all those guys. You're without all those guys

72
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: read other than read, it's a brand new secondary. It's

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: a completely new secondary. Like you broke. You broke the

74
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: secondary out of the box. Like over the last few weeks.

75
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: It's like they were. It's like a you know, a

76
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: pack of baseball cards. You open and went, all right,

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: what do I got? Oh man, I got a Joe

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: DiMaggio midnighteen forty one? This is all I mean, you know,

79
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you say any of those guys

80
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: back there would would qualify. But man, when you've got

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: when when Lonnie goes down, you've got three corners in

82
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: the building wearing pads for you that day, Cornel Armstrong,

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: Keyan Crossing and Garan Conley. And again let's go back

84
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: to Cornell just brought up to the fifty three man

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: roster on Friday. Cross Garyan Connley got in the building

86
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, right, Crossing when you acquired him in the

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: in the post fourth preseason game. The fifty three man

88
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: cut down right and you want to talk about and

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: we see it a lot in the building. I can't

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: remember what year it was, but they Texans had shirts

91
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: and the Texans T shirts on the back had grit.

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Yesterday was grit. Yesterday was all about that. Because by

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: my account, that's eight starters, right, maybe nine. I feel

94
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: like I'm missing one, but either way, you're now you're

95
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: down eight starters to a young hung every team that

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: knew it could not lose Tune Row and it is

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm you know all I remember when John group was

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: coming back, and I remember I remember thinking, guys, what

99
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: is everything John Gruden such a great football coach, Like,

100
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: why does everybody you know, I know he's a good

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: football coach. You want a championship? Like, I get it. Well,

102
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: that's a really well coached team. Yeah, that's a really

103
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: good football team to Texans beat. They do what they do. Man,

104
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: they beat the Colton Indie. I know they had a

105
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: rough time with the Packers, but the Packers look really good. Yeah,

106
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: they do, and they do. This is a tough team.

107
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: They beat the Bears in London. We went over all

108
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: this stuff and seventy four percent completions coming in for

109
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, number one in the league by three percentage points.

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy completes the passes. I know some

111
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: of it is short range, a lot of it is.

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: But what beat the Texans last week at Indy Short

113
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: medium range stuff, a lot of it the crossing patterns

114
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: and everything. And when the Raiders started to get that going,

115
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking, oh, no, they're on. They're on to us,

116
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: because with the revamped secondary, it's tough to catch up

117
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: up to some of that stuff. And you saw them

118
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: starting to make Hay Derek Carr, would you say he

119
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: was seventy four percent coming in Yeah, what is he now?

120
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: He finished sixty percent yesterday he was eighteen and thirty.

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: He had two hundred and eighty five yards. He did

122
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: have three touchdowns, so his rating was very, very good.

123
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: He's still seventy four percent for the season. Seventy four

124
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: percent for the season. Coming into the game, Josh Jacobs

125
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: had rushed four one hundred twenty three yards against the

126
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: Bears in one hundred and twenty four yards against the

127
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Packers yesterday, sixty six yards eighty out, twenty three of

128
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: that on one carry, So over fourteen carries he had

129
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: forty three yards, So that's just a shade over three

130
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: yards per carry. This defense, DJ Reader calls it the

131
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: lunch pail crew. They brought its lunch pail. Yeah. JJ

132
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: goes out with five fifty five in the second quarter

133
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: and Lonnie gets hurt with five o eight in the

134
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: second quarter. The scores fourteen seven Oakland at that point.

135
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Whatever you were able to cobble together on the defensive

136
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: side of the ball held Oakland to ten points over

137
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: the next half and some change over. You brought that up.

138
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: That is highly encouraging. You're wondering what are the Texans

139
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna do with that wat and whatever else is going

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: on in the secondary, and they're gonna get some guys

141
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: back here soon, and you hope it's sooner rather than later.

142
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: But what are they gonna do? Well? From that point

143
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: on midway to the second quarter a little bit later

144
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: than that, they held them to ten points and the Raiders,

145
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: it looked like the Raiders were about to start getting

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: things really cranked up offensively, but they didn't. So you

147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: got to give the Texans defense a lot of credit there.

148
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: And it's kind of like against Kansas City, they made

149
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: the big stop. Even in the indie game, they made

150
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: some big stops in the fourth quarter to get the

151
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: ball back and give themselves a chance even though they

152
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: weren't able to do it with the two turnovers in

153
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter last week. Yesterday, no turnovers. They were

154
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: able to get the ball in the end zone a

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: couple of times. And isn't Fells. It's funny because I

156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: was talking to Bobby, one of the it guys here,

157
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: and he can't. He said, you know, Fells, being a

158
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: basketball player, you get this feeling that they've got this

159
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: point guard center mentality, this chemistry going where it's like

160
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the basket. If we get a

161
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: certain look, it just lob it over to me. And

162
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: it looked like that from time to time. Yeah, no doubt.

163
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: What do you know, it just dawne to me. You know,

164
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: yesterday was it was National tight Ends Day. Thank you

165
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: very much. Well. I brought this up in the pregame

166
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: show outside with Seth and Sean and I said, hey,

167
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: hashtag National tight Ends Day because I've seen the stuff

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: trending in the morning, and I said, that's gonna be

169
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: the big factor today because they have Waller. It's really good,

170
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: all right. He looks good. And I know they went

171
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: to him a few times early, didn't find him, and eventually, yeah,

172
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: they found him. But the Texans with Fells, Aikins, they've

173
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: got a couple of good ones here and Fells what

174
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: a revelation, Johnny. I mean, I go back to the

175
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: offseason when they pick him up and a lot of

176
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: people thought, wow, they signed Darren Fells, but he's not

177
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: gonna make this team. They got Jordan Thomas, Jordan Nakins,

178
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: and then when they drafted Wearing, we'll forget it. There's

179
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: no way. But I always felt, look, I never saw

180
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: this coming in the receiving department. I always felt, once

181
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: O'Brien saw him as a blocker, yes, it might be

182
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: too good to let him go, Like we gotta have

183
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: a blocking tight end like that, because you know he

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: was really good at that. Well who knew he was

185
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: this good as a receiver. He's putting on a show,

186
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: yeah he has. It's I don't even know where to

187
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: where to start with this guy. Because when he sat

188
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: in here when we had our media days back in May,

189
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: he joked because we said, look, you're known for your blocking,

190
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, yeah, I'm a left left tackle,

191
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: Like you know, we heard that and we're like, yeah, okay.

192
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: We kind of laughed and it was it was. It

193
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: was funny as heck when he said it and he

194
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: meant it. He's like, if that's what my role has

195
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: got to be. And I remember within the first two

196
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: or three days of training camp, you and I doing

197
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: all the shows that we did. What did we say,

198
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: they're keeping four tight ends? In large part, what we

199
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: were saying was they're keeping fells. They have to keep

200
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: felling because if he plays this way, they've got to

201
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: have him if you want production from the tight ends.

202
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: This is what you get because we thought he's gonna

203
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: provide a pass protection and he's a heck of a leader.

204
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: You saw him on the sidelines with Baker Mayfield last

205
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: year and how he kind of handled Baker. I mean

206
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: it was it was impressive, really impressive. So what has

207
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: he done in eight games? He's he caught twenty three

208
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: passes for two hundred and forty four yards and five touchdowns.

209
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Those are career marks. He's never reached that in receptions,

210
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: He's never reached that. In touchdowns he's had He had

211
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: three hundred and eleven yards one year, so he's got

212
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: to get the yardage. He's done that in half a season.

213
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: And Mark everybody would remember the touchdown catch, right because

214
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: you remember Watson's magic spinning out, getting kicked in a face,

215
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: then then fixing his face mask and somehow finding Fells

216
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: and Fells making a great catch over the head of

217
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: Tier Whitehead. To me, the play that I remember is

218
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: that play at the end, that the one we just

219
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: heard that Jones he played to start the show. That

220
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: you just said, Watson's running dead out of bounds because

221
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: Max Crosby is chasing him, and Crosby can cover like

222
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: twenty yards and two steps. Crosby's an impressive young player,

223
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean really impressive from Eastern Michigan, from Collegeville up

224
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: and Texas, Kevin Walton's alma mater. So they run urpo

225
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: game and it's supposed to be it's second and seven,

226
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be just a little k rpo. Flip

227
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: flip it out the fells. You know, they bite on

228
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: the run. I thought it was a great play call

229
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: because they're gonna bite on the run, right, they're gonna bite.

230
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: They have to flip it out the fells. He gets

231
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: the first down. Game over. Well, they play it perfectly.

232
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: They collision Fells coming off and then Joseph is right there,

233
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: and so Deshaun's got to just bail and he's running

234
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: dead out of bounds, and I'm glad he didn't try

235
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: and stop because that's the one where you you know,

236
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: wrench an ankle or work right. So at that point

237
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: he knows he's going on a bound, so you know what,

238
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: why not just throw it? Why not give my guy

239
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: a chance? And it Fells works back to get to

240
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: an open spot spot and then he makes a one

241
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: handy catch. He reaches out and snatches it behind him

242
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: and makes the catch for the first down. I mean,

243
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: it's a whale of a catch. But that's what he

244
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: has given to this team this year. It's been really

245
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't ever think i'd say this, but

246
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: where would you be without Darren Fells? I knew, I

247
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: know I was gonna say this. Where would you be

248
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: without DeAndre Hopkins? Eleven catches yesterday? And it felt like

249
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: every single one was a big one yep. And it

250
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: wasn't just catching being a first down. There were times

251
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: where he catching me short of first down and then

252
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: go Carlos, hide on everybody and power through a dB

253
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: to get two or three yards. He was phenomenal. You

254
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: know what he looks. He kind of looks like Walter

255
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: Payton when he's going for an extra yard Jeffrey Hopkins,

256
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: he does to lunge and just dived, just lunge the

257
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: body forward for a couple of extra By the way,

258
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: that the stat sheet that was in the book was

259
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: last week, so it cars down to seventy two percent,

260
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: but I think it's still the top number in the

261
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: league anyway. Watson sixty nine percent passing and look at

262
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: this number. Looky here, you're at the halfway point, you're

263
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: five and three and he's throwing sixteen touchdown pass No,

264
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: what am I thinking about? I know what you're thinking.

265
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: What am I thinking about? I know what you're thinking about?

266
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: Twenty nine? The number is twenty nine, twenty nine, the

267
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: all time high for Texans touchdown passes in a single season,

268
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: and I just want to see that record broken, among

269
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, many other things this season. But that's just

270
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: one of the sub little topics that I'm following here.

271
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: What was the number before twenty nine? What do you

272
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: mean do you remember, like what number shop through for

273
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: twenty nine in two thousand and nine? Right? What was it?

274
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: And they've done it was the record before that. I

275
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: don't remember, like twenty four, twenty five because they've had

276
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: combined totals and they had a combined total of twenty

277
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: nine one of the years too. But twenty nine is

278
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: the all time mark. Watson has five picks, so sixteen touchdowns,

279
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: quarterback rating one oh five, sixty nine percent completions, yards

280
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: for attempt over eight. The numbers are really great for Deshaun,

281
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: But do numbers really tell the story for this guy?

282
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean, every week, John, every week I see a

283
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: play that had I don't know, I've never seen before.

284
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: I have actually have seen it before because I've seen

285
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: it from him and the escapeability of Deshaun Watson. The

286
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: play where he finds Fells for the game winner, what

287
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: turned out to be the game winner is I'll never

288
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: see that. He gets kicked in the eye. He moves

289
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. Oh, he fixes his face mask.

290
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: He fixes his face mask. As he's moving out of

291
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: the pocket. The eye is already shut. I mean, you know,

292
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: usually you get hit and it might take him, you know,

293
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: take a minute to start swelling up. It's already shut.

294
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: But there's a great shot from the end zone where

295
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: you just see one eye open and he say, and

296
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: he actually retweeted it saying one eye band and he's

297
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: able to find Fells in the end zone. That's ridiculous stuff.

298
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: We are watching history being made every week with this kid.

299
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: It is so fun to watch. Now. I know. Bill O'Brien,

300
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: head coach of this football team, wants to see them

301
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: play cleaner. He's look, he's got to look at the

302
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: other stuff. Gotta cut down on the fall starts. You

303
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: gotta cut down on other thing. Gotta play cleaner because

304
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: there's a level for this team that they haven't hit

305
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: yet and when they do, and I shouldn't say if,

306
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: because I really think they can and will, but they

307
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: gotta put the Obviously they're putting the work. In My

308
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: point is this, They gotta get there, Johnny, because as

309
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: big as yesterday was to beat the Raiders at home,

310
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: because you had to get this one. You got a

311
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: division game on Sunday. You have all four teams in

312
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: the AFC South five or above. This is a tough division.

313
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't care who's play. And then you have the bye,

314
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: but you have three mammoth games after that. You know,

315
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: we can't talk about this with Coach during his show

316
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: at five o'clock today because he can't look ahead. It's

317
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: all about Jacksonville and it should be for them. But

318
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: we can look ahead. After the bye. You've got the Ravens,

319
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: the Colts, and the Patriots at Baltimore. That's the only

320
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: road game. Yeah, So Ravens on the road, Colts at

321
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: home on a Thursday, and then the Patriots at home

322
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: the following Sunday night. It's gonna be nice to have

323
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: the little mini bye after the Colts game. But man,

324
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: a short week to get ready for Indie. At least

325
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: it's here. You don't have to go up there for

326
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: that because the traveling team I think has such a

327
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: disadvantage in a Thursday night scenario. But we'll see how

328
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: it plays out. That's why this Sunday, I mean, they're

329
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: all big. That's the NFL. That's the beauty of it.

330
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: Every game is absolutely colossal. It is fun to watch.

331
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: All right. Here's Watson on the touchdown pass that got

332
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: them the lead in the fourth quarter, and we will

333
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: hear it now. I'm just kind of just trying to

334
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: make a play um and try to spin him off.

335
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: And when I spent him, his leg kind of came

336
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: up and I'm not sure where he just hit my helmet,

337
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: that's all I remember, and just kind of just I

338
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: went shut and just kind of it was kind of

339
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: seeing Farrell Um kind of going to my right, how

340
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: to readjust my helmet and then this I was actually

341
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: going close to it, so I kind of threw a blunt,

342
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: but I kind of assumed where he was going and

343
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of adjusted and let my arm got it. And

344
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: then I didn't even see the play until after the game. Um,

345
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, I just kind of just lay there and

346
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: heard the crowd go crazy and knew we score. Can

347
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: we get a gift? Where Luke Skywalker is practicing with

348
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: the lightsaber with the shield over his eyes, and it's

349
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: just like and he's got that little ball, you know,

350
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Obi Wan is teaching him how to do it. They're

351
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: on the millenni um falking on their way somewhere and

352
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: he's practicing with the lightsaber. You know those little those

353
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: little lightning torpedoes are coming at him. That's Deshaun Watson.

354
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: He's already done that. He's he's Jedi trained. I mean,

355
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. Yeah. I kind of threw a blind. I

356
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: just figured he'd be in the area. Yeah, I love that.

357
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: I think I think Dray said it best in the

358
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: broadcast and maybe you said it. That was the touchdown

359
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: that Indianapolis that was taken away against Indianapolis, and that

360
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: one he threw not blind, but he threw that one blind.

361
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: And when he's when he's down on the turf, obviously

362
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: everybody went crazy because the touchdown, but when everybody realizes

363
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: he's down on the turf, I mean seventy one thousand

364
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: people at that time, minus a hefty Raiders contingent, which

365
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: to me, I don't know about you, Mark, but having

366
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: the number of Raiders fans that were in the building yesterday,

367
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: it had a different fuel. It did. And also because

368
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: it was the afternoon two, I think it had a

369
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: different fuel. Well, it had more kind of a playoff

370
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: game type fuel. You were outside, Yeah, more of an

371
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: event than usual. It's always an event here, but even

372
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: more than usual the late afternoon game. I remember the

373
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: first one we ever had here. I think it was

374
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: a year one actually, and it just had a different

375
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: feel to it, the vibe, the tailgating, the preparation for

376
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: the game. I went out, we had a family friend visiting.

377
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: I went out to a restaurant, went out to Popositos, uh,

378
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: to have lunch earlier, like early lunch. But you just

379
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: felt the vibe and I kind of like it. I

380
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: got like from a work standpoint, it's so much easier

381
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: for us to do a noon game. But whatever, for

382
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: the fans, this is really cool. And believe me, folks,

383
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: the Texans have no control over this kind of thing.

384
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: The NFL just tells you when you're gonna play. You

385
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: take it like it, uh and and that's the deal.

386
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, was that fun? A great atmosphere yesterday?

387
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: The city on fire for sports, the Rockets starting up,

388
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: the Astros about to win the World Series. Did I

389
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: say that, Yeah, they have a great replay of Watson.

390
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: I mean that the foot just gets right between the

391
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: face mask and the top of the helmet and and

392
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: he's smiling in my good when was when? All right?

393
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: So when was the smile? When was that? After that

394
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: was he got? After completed to fell? Then he goes

395
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: down to the ground. No, no, no, no, I mean

396
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: fells the late the second, the second and so on

397
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: the final drive because he ended up throwing the ball

398
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: and he ended up over in the Raiders sideline and

399
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: you see him among Raiders smile. You'll see you among Raiders.

400
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: He just got a smile because he's coming back. You

401
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: get a first at that point, you get a first down.

402
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: Here's the basic math, folks, two minute warning, first down.

403
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: If the opponents don't t timeouts, you just take three

404
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: knees and you're out of it. I mean, doing a

405
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: lot of NFL games, I know this, and that's a

406
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: joyous thing to hit that two minute warning and know

407
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: that the game is over and all you have to

408
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: do is kill the clock. It's a beautiful thing. And

409
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: the Texans are five and three. Now, this is a

410
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: touchy situation in the AFC South. Like we said, all

411
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: four teams are five hundred or above. And I don't

412
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: even have to look. They're the only division in the

413
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: league like that, right, Yeah, of course they are. Let

414
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: me see, just to confirm they're the only division in

415
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: the league like that. And if oh, yeah, the Bears

416
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: are not, I was gonna say to see North because

417
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: they've got seven and one and six and two. Yeah,

418
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: they the lines of five hundred. Yeah, the Bears are

419
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: one game below five hundred after missing a field goal

420
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: should have beaten the Chargers. And wow, Naggy not going

421
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: for extra yardage to try to make it a closer

422
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: field goal. You can't take a knee. I have never

423
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: And look, Kaymie Fairband looked at the best. One of

424
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: the best developments the last couple of weeks is Kim

425
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: of kind of finding his groove again. Yep, which has

426
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: been great, great point, that's been awesome. That said, as

427
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: much as I believe in k I, and especially with

428
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: number four under center, I will never in my life

429
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: ever understand playing for a fuel goal. Ever, ever, I

430
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: mean if you got I mean, look, I understand, I

431
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: can understand playing for playing for a fuel goal, but

432
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: settling for a longer fuel forty one is no chip shot.

433
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: Especially this is the ship. Let me to your own team.

434
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: You've had difficulty doing this. Coach David Montgomery had had

435
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five yards in the game at

436
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: that point. The Chargers couldn't stop running water had off

437
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: just handed off both. He is as hard a tackle

438
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: as anybody in the NFL. I saw us that I

439
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: was state. He broke more tackles in twenty eighteen than

440
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: like the next two or three guys on the list combined.

441
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: He's a beast. Give him the ball and see what

442
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: he does, even if it takes off two yards off

443
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: the field ball. How many times have you seen a

444
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: fuel goal at the very end league to the left?

445
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, don't it's Chicago. Need we say more? Okay,

446
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: I got a couple of things here, because we're doing

447
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: the long segment to begin Texans Monday, as we do

448
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: every week these days. Now, Johnny quick thoughts, know what

449
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: what do you do? How do you handle no jj

450
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Watt schematically? Because you do have options here. They've gotten

451
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: good pass rush out of Merciless Obviously, Jake Martin continues

452
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: to flash, and he's gonna need to do a whole

453
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: lot more than flash in the coming weeks. Amna, who's

454
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: showing good pass rush ability? I'm really another player on IR.

455
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: That really saddens me that he's there is is Duke

456
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: Gedge forward for you forget about that. You could really

457
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: come in handy at this point. But next year, let's

458
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: just see what you can get. We see Duke around

459
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: the building and he's you're working to come back from

460
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: that Achilles. But that's when we don't think about a

461
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: lot because it happened back in May, I think, and yeah,

462
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: we forget about that because it happened during condition. I

463
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: think schematically the just natural one v one fit, you

464
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: take one guy out, you put one guy in. The

465
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: natural fit is probably Charles Charles Amner. Now, so when

466
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: you're going let base here you're talking now, let me

467
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: be very very clear. You are not going to replace

468
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: JJ Watt one v one, one guy out, one guy in.

469
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: This is moneyball, Johnny. We're not going to replace Jambi.

470
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna try to replace his numbers somehow

471
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: or try to come up with the facsimile of what

472
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: he can possibly produce, which is not easy. So I

473
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: think the closest thing you have is Charles getting in there.

474
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: And now Charles just he'll deal with that knee that

475
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: he banged up. I think it was at Kansas City,

476
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: Kansas City or who we played the week before that

477
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 1: we got that knee banged up a little Maybe Atlanta.

478
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember when he had that knee banged

479
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: up a little bit, but he went back into the Sandy.

480
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: It was La. It was La, okay, because he went

481
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: back in the game Andy, La got it. I didn't

482
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: say San Diego. Yeah, okay. I think Charles is probably

483
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: your best one for one, but you mentioned it. I

484
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: think Jake Martin's got to get some more time. Now.

485
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: There's a conglomerate of guys that I'm about to mention,

486
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: and I think there are some different things that you

487
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: can do. If we can play off at the same time,

488
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: that would be good. I think Jake Martin's gonna get

489
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: more reps. There's no I think there's no question. He

490
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: yesterday chased Derek Carr down from behind like he did

491
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes one time and forced car to have to

492
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: make a throw that was really big. So I think

493
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Jake Martin gets some more definite pass rush snaps for

494
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: fifty four folks following at home, Brendon Scarlett or fifty seven,

495
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna get b scar get a few more times.

496
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: When they go to Nickel and they go to a

497
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: four down alignment, he's gonna play probably that defensive end

498
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: and opposite Whitney Merciless. He's gonna get some more reps.

499
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: Here's a guy, and I know they don't play the

500
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: same position. I think Dylan Cole is gonna continue to

501
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: find his way on the field. Wow. Now I'm not

502
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: saying he plays JJ's position at all. Wait, edge rushing, no, no,

503
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: no, no no no, but I think maybe what there's just

504
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: there are ways I think that you can manufacture reps

505
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: with Cole. I mean he Holpens does a pick sixth

506
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: end it, Oh my gosh, that would have been so good.

507
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: I talked to him afterwards and I was like, Darren

508
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: Waller gonna catch you from behind. He's like, bro, he's fast,

509
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: He's not catching me, and he had it all figured out.

510
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: He's like he was going the other direction. I don't

511
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: want him the other way. He was really funny about it,

512
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: but he said he tried to bait Car into that throw,

513
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: and he did, he said, but the one thing a

514
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: Car did was he held it for just like a

515
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: half a second longer than he expected, and he kind

516
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: of got caught in between steps, so he couldn't like

517
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: he couldn't really kind of explode off to get you know,

518
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: and so he couldn't. He was kind of extended a

519
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: little bit more as opposed to running through it when

520
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: he's not DeAndre hop So I think he plays a

521
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: role in some way, shape or form. Now it might

522
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: be that you play Cole next to Zach and you

523
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: move b Mac up, and b Mac plays a little

524
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: bit of that outside stuff and you kind of bump everybody.

525
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: I think there are different things that you can do.

526
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: You can play more for three, like a true four

527
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: three with Scar and Whitney on the outside. Um, and

528
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: then you can play with readers. Isn't that a small

529
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: for three right? Um? And yeah, there's no question. Now.

530
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: The thing about it is you can go small four three.

531
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: You could also go uh pretty big three four. You

532
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: can put Chuck in there for JJ you can have

533
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: Reader in there with Kars Watkins, or you could put

534
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: Um Brandon Dunn in there. There's they're way at lant

535
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: Angel Blackson. So if you want to go against the

536
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: Jags and you want to be big and heavy, then

537
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: you go Reader Blacks in and Um and Chuck. Or

538
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: you can go really big. You can go with Doney

539
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: over the nose with Reader and Blacks and at your

540
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: defensive ends. Yeah, heavy up against the heavy up against

541
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: the run team, and yeah, I know the Jags have

542
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: have found a little bit of a passing game, but

543
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: you heavy up against the run and then maybe what

544
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: you do is you're a little bit quick ger on

545
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: the edge. Just maybe put Jake on one side and

546
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: went on the other. You put Scar out there. Scars

547
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: have been playing a lot, or there's there are a

548
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: lot of combinations. You can go a little bit smaller

549
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: with your four three because that might be something you

550
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: have to do for Baltimore. This bye week couldn't be

551
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: coming at a better time. After this game in London,

552
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: the Jags coming up. It's a team that you know.

553
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: Now I know with Minshew they do some different things,

554
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: but you've seen them already this year, So that's gonna

555
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: help you a little bit. Uh, you've got time to

556
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of time, but you got some time.

557
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: You had two quarters plus where you had to play

558
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: without JJ Watts, so you had to try and figure

559
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: it out. So you figured it out a little bit.

560
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Now you go back to the drawing board today and say, Okay,

561
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: what more can we do with what we have? Yep,

562
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: you hope you get a few more guys healthy, and

563
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: then that bye week you really step back and go, Okay, Baltimore,

564
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: what do we have to go against Baltimore? Because Baltimore

565
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: is going to present an offense that you've never seen

566
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: me and you might start getting some guys back at

567
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: that point, and that can only help. You'd hope this

568
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: week help. Yeah, after the BUYE got to start getting

569
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: some guys back. And we don't know about some of

570
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: the other guys you know, oh line, we're talking about

571
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: the tackle situation earlier in this in this segment. We

572
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to be available on Sunday. You know,

573
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 1: you hope Laramie's able to get out there and do it.

574
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: If not, Chris Clark, Dan Skipper, I don't know what

575
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: else they're gonna do. We'll see. At some point Greg

576
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: Mancy would think has to come back from concussion protocols,

577
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: so we'll see about him. Look, a lot of stuff

578
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: is in flux. I mean it's the NFL season, the

579
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: National Flux League. It's always like that. Okay, we'll go

580
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: over some of the landscape and the AFC check it

581
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: with the general he is coming up and also Andre

582
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: Ware and Spencer Tillman. A lot of stuff to go

583
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: over today. Is your Texans are five and three at

584
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: the halfway point, half game out of first in the

585
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: AFC South with the Cults coming in here in a

586
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: few weeks. But man, a lot to do before you

587
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: get to that point. Texans Monday is presented by Houston

588

Speaker 1: Medicine it's Texans Monday. It's Texans Monday. It's Texans Monday.

595
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: It's Texans Monday. No back to more coverage of what

596
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: happened and what happens next. It's Texans Monday, presented by

597
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Houston Methodist. First and goal at the nine. The Sean

598
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: calls for the ball. Here's the snap. Watson looking pocket collapsing.

599
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: Watson try to get away, pets to the right, close

600
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: to the INSA cut by falls, magical touchdown Houston and

601
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: the Texans take the lead. I mean, the proper call

602
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: would have been. Watson almost sacks, spins out, gets kicked

603
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: in the eye, adjusts his face mask as he was

604
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: rolling out to the right. The eye is swelling up.

605
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: He can't see anything. He throws to the end zone.

606
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown, but you know, I wasn't like down

607
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: there and I really couldn't get blindly throws to the

608
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: end zone and he calls himself later the one eyed

609
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: bandit as Watson. Is unbelievable. This I patch you. Yeah,

610
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: they said it's the Raider logo. He's coming, ye newest Raider.

611
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: The Raiders got beaten by their own logo. Oh my gosh.

612
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's get the general in here. John McClain

613
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: from the Houston Chronicle, Good morning, John. How about that yesterday?

614
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: That performance by number four, John, how do you even

615
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: characterize that? How do you describe that and what he's doing? Well,

616
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of a Houdini type escape from a defensive end.

617
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: Arden Key accidentally kicked him in the eye, of course,

618
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: and there was a magnificent play by Watson, but it

619
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: was a tremendous catch by Fells as well. And Bells

620
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: who had his best game as best catch was on

621
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: the last drive, making a one ended catch of a

622
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: low look like low and outside pitch that he caught

623
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: for a first down, and that allowed them to run

624
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: out the clock. And I thought, in my forty three

625
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: years of covering the NFL, considering the adversity they had

626
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: going into the game in the secondary, losing Lonnie Johnson

627
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: and then of course losing what losing Laramie Counsil on

628
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: that last drive, I've never seen a more impressive victory,

629
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: especially with the way they called it out. And the

630
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: Raiders are no slouches, you know. The Raiders wanted Indianapolis,

631
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: they wanted London over Chicago. But there's been a pallcast

632
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: over this victory because of what suffering that season ending

633
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: pectoral muscle injury. And that's very sad for him, of course,

634
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: because he played such an instrumental role. And it's too

635
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: bad because he was off to another good year and

636
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: he made it sake shard laws on a running play

637
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: in which he got to hurt. But so I would

638
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: call it bitter sweet, yes, John, That's exactly the word.

639
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: With everything that went on this weekend in the city

640
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: of Houston, with a win by the Rockets on Saturday,

641
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: and then obviously the winds by the Astros the win

642
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: yesterday for the Texans, you had that bitter sweet bild

643
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: us follow so you know as well as anybody you've

644
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: been around the league for a long time. Next man

645
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: up philosophy. This is hard to go one from one

646
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: with JJ Watt. You can't find it. But what do

647
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: you think happens going forward? We talked about this a

648
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: little while ago with some of the things that they

649
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: could do with the guys that have on hand. But

650
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: how do you think the Romeo Cornell defense is shaped

651
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: now without JJ? Going forward? They were struggling to rush

652
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: to pass or anyway. I don't know how long has

653
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: been since they've had more than one sack, And I

654
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: think that the rookie Charles and many Who played more.

655
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: You could I remember last season Brandon Dunne started ten

656
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: games on the nose and DJ Readers started outside of

657
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: the three men front, so that they wanted to, they

658
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: could put done on the nose and add Blackson and

659
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: Reader at end, and that would certainly give them a

660
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: beefy front. And they did another actress slow start. They

661
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: did another great job against the run contained Josh Jacobs

662
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: only gave up I think twenty six yards rousing in

663
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: the fourth second half, something like that. And so or

664
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: they could just play a many who in his place,

665
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: maybe Carlos Watkins gets active more. But and then also

666
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: trader Bill tomorrow as a deadline at three o'clock. From

667
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: the way, Bill O'Brien made that deal for Gary and

668
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: Conley last week to help shore up that weakness. And

669
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: maybe he'll make a trade. I'm sure everybody's got a

670
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: defensive lineman's calling him right now, especially the Jets. But

671
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, does it what does he want

672
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: to trade? If indeed he makes a trade, that's a

673
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: good point, John I mean the currency, he still has

674
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: a lot relatively. I mean, the first rounder is obviously

675
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: not plentiful at this stage, but more picks than a

676
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: lot of people think. John. Let's go over the AFC

677
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: South here for a moment, because you have four teams

678
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: in the division, obviously, and everybody's five hundred or above.

679
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: And what I find interesting is that you have reserve

680
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing for the other three teams. I mean, Brissette

681
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: is a starter, now, let's just call on that. But

682
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: we all expected Andrew Luck to be playing Tannehill and

683
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: plays to Mariota and Minshew doing a pretty good job

684
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Your thoughts on the landscape of the division.

685
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: All four teams won yesterday and Gardner Minshew the mustache

686
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: through three touchdown passes no interceptions. They had a fourteen

687
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: point victory over the Jets. The other games were closed.

688
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee won the four takes its three colts two on

689
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: then a Terry field goal with twenty two seconds left.

690
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: Fifty one yard field goal with twenty two seconds left.

691
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: Tanning Hill and his two stars says five touchdowns and

692
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: one interception. He didn't throw for a lot of yards yesterday,

693
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: but the Titans won. They got really lucky because Mike

694
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Brabell called for a fake field goal with three forty

695
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: one left and the holder, Brett Kern, was tackled. He fumbled,

696
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: the Bucks picked it up returned for a touchdown, but

697
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: an official had blown the play dead thinking Kern was

698
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: down didn't see the ball coming out. Of course, BLUs

699
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: Arians went ballistic and sold as the Bucks because they

700
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: got robbed in the and the Titans got lucky, but

701
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: they forced four Jameis Winston turnovers. So they've won two

702
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: in a row. Jaguars have won two in a row.

703
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Coach had won three in a row. It's been unbelieved.

704
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: I told people. I don't know how many boards told too,

705
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 1: told us too, Safecy South, that's going to be a monster,

706
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: just telling you it's going to be a monster. And

707
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: it's really it's turning. It's turning into that with all

708
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: four teams, and somebody put this out that the season

709
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: ended today halfway through, that the Colts would be the

710
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: three seed, three seed, yeah, the two seed, The Texans

711
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: would be the six, the Jags would be the seven,

712
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: the Titans would be eight. Four of the teams in

713
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: the FC South would be in the top eight in

714
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: the AFC. One team that's not mentioned there. John is

715
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. As the Browns go up and struggle

716
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: again against the New England Patriots two and five. I

717
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: believe the record is. Do you think there's a chance

718
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: that this could be one and done for Freddie Kitchens

719
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. I think there's a very good chance of that.

720
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: You know, he was He got that job because of

721
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: the job he did as the promoted offensive coordinator under

722
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: interim coach Greg Williams, in which he took over the

723
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: offense and Mayfield played great and in the register back

724
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: people said, well he should have hired a new head

725
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: coach and kept him. Well, that wouldn't have been fair.

726
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not for new head coaches being forced

727
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: to keep assistance. If you don't trust him enough when

728
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: you hire him, that don't hire him. But he did

729
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: do the last great job last year. He was never

730
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: mentioned as head coach to write the end with somebody

731
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: ask him. Greg Williams never made any bones about it.

732
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: But so they've been one of the bigger disappointment disappointments

733
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: in the league. And I think he's like Steve Wilkes,

734
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: was Arizona, and Mike McLardy was one year and Jim

735
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: Tom got Tom Sula. There are some guys one and

736
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: done in this era of the NFL, and I think

737
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: he's gonna be one John in the NFC Green Bay,

738
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: New Orleans both seven and one San Francisco undefeated. Your

739
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: thoughts on who the best team in that conference is.

740
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: I picked the Saints against the Colts in the Super Bowl,

741
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees came back a week earlier than everybody

742
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: thought thought he'd be after the bye week. He played

743
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: really well, three touchdown passes. Their defense is playing great.

744
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers got to be the biggest prize in

745
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: the league. They're running the ball the old fashioned way,

746
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: playing great defense. Don't turn it over that they've just

747
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's done a tremendous job, and those seem to

748
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: be the two best teams. Minnesota's coming on fast. You

749
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: can see Gary Kubiak's influence on that offense, with Kirk

750
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: Cousins improving in the running game, with Dalvin Cook. Nobody's

751
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: given Kubiak any publicity, but I think that you can

752
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: see his fingerprints on that offense, and right now, I

753
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: think the NFC is better than the AFC other than

754
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: New England. Of course. New England's defense continues to do

755
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: fantastic things, but they still have played a schedule it's

756
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: unbelievably easy except for Buffalo, and Buffalo just got creamed

757
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: at home by Philadelphia, So we'll see. I want to

758
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: see what the Patriots do against Carson Ways. Dak Prescott

759
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: to Seaun Watson at Patrick Maums, John, I'm sorry that

760
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: Bill's Philly pick. Did I talk to you out of

761
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: picking Philly when we met on the radio? I bet

762
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: now I'd already picked those they helpia in the Chronicle. Okay,

763
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: I really thought Buffalo was gonna win that game. Sorry, hey, John,

764
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: Yesterday's foe the Oakland Raiders. I know people look at Hey,

765
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: that's a three and four football team and the whole

766
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels thing of year, which your record says you are.

767
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: But that's a really good football team, John, What did

768
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: you think of what Gruden has done in his two

769
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: years in Oakland? Before they moved to Las Vegas. We

770
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: had to consider too. They're playing on the road. That's unbelievable.

771
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: The stretch. They hadn't been home since the second week

772
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: of the season. Playing a home game in Oakland while

773
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: you're playing these other I mean a home game in

774
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: London while you're playing these other games. Is the illegal

775
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: should be illegal. But if they if they can come

776
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: through it, say the first half of their season five hundred,

777
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: then they've got a favorable schedule of in the second half.

778
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: But they've got a good running game, they've got a

779
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: good offensive line. They stopped to run well. Even though

780
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: the Texans excuse me, ran four hundred and thirty yards,

781
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: they've only been given up eighty six. So they've got

782
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: a lot of young players that that team is being

783
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: built for Las Vegas. All right. So John DeAndre Hopkins

784
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: is second in the league right now in receptions with sixty,

785
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: behind Michael Thomas of New Orleans. And what do you

786
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: think of his performance yesterday? The last few weeks, I

787
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: mean Kansas City, not that many yards, but every single

788
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: catch just seemed to be huge, even though it was

789
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: for short yards' relatively last week plays well, yesterday speaks

790
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: for itself. What do you think one of the things

791
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: that you're doing is like third and five, they're throwing

792
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: him the ball a lot. You know, they sometimes they

793
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: use the short pass to hop like a run and

794
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: that keeps the defense on its heels instead of its toes.

795
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: So people may look at his yards per catch, but

796
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: if they look at first downs guessing, we won't know

797
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: this collapter tonight's game, I'm guessing that he's number one

798
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: in first downs again, whether it's on him third down,

799
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: but he seems to be the target for once and

800
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: anytime they need a first down for a short pass,

801
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: he's going to him. And he's done a tremendous job

802
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: as always. Yeah, he's I mean Hopkins. Yesterday we talked

803
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: about this a little bit, John, about the fact that

804
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: he made yards after the catch yesterday, just running through guys,

805
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: always fighting forward, could hang on the football because it

806
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: was almost close on that final drive. But Hopkins just

807
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: incredible yesterday John. Along those lines, DeAndre Hopkins third fastest

808
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: or i'm sorry, third youngest to get to eight thousand yards.

809
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: The only two that got there before he did, Larry

810
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and Randy Moss, and even DeAndre said he choked

811
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. He had to give thanks to the

812
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: brock Oswaders and Brandon Weedon's for helping him get there.

813
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that we really can put it into

814
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: full terms what he's doing. But it feels like, and

815
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: you know this better than anybody else studying Hall of

816
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: Fame receivers, it feels like we are on track to

817
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: watching a guy that could potentially be going to the

818
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. What have you thought about what DeAndre

819
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: has done only this year, but throughout his career to

820
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: get to this point and set that milestone. Well, the

821
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: most amazing thing was about was what he did with

822
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: so many quarterbacks and not so many mediocre to bad quarterbacks.

823
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: Now he's got a big time quarterback. And even though

824
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: they brought in a lot more weapons like Darren Fails

825
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: and Kenny Stills and Day and Duke Johnson, that he

826
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: continues to excel. And I don't think it's out of

827
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: the question at this point of his career. And he's

828
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. And there's a lot

829
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: of receivers taking advantage of this Arab who you think

830
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: have a chance to be in the Hall of Fame.

831
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: And the good thing about Deandres, he's so dependable. He

832
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: reminds me when Rodson throws him a ball low and

833
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: he's where only he can catch you. It reminds me

834
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: of Warren Moon to throw to Drew Hill and a

835
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: run and shoot. He said that when they needed the

836
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: first dam he would throw a short pass to Drew

837
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,479
Speaker 1: and he would throw it low where only Drew could

838
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: get it, and if he didn't, nobody was And that's

839
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: the same thing it looks like with Watson throwing to Hopkins. John,

840
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: do they clinch tomorrow night? What do you think based

841
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: on as hot as the Astros are right now? Even

842
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: though I noticed I watched all the postgame shows, all

843
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: of them are picking Strasburg to be Berlander, who's never

844
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: won a World Series game. I think whether Berland or

845
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: wins it or not, the Astros are going to close

846
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: it out. They just outscored them seventeen to three in

847
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: three games in Washington, and they're coming home and they

848
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: were they didn't clinch the last one here, but they're

849
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: going to clinch this one here and it's gonna be

850
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: great for the fans of Houston. I mean, the Bats

851
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: have come alive, all right. Generally, thanks a lot. We'll

852
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: see it here later in the day. Sounds good, guys,

853
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. John McClean from the Houston Chronicle.

854
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: Are you mentioned DeAndre Hopkins what he said about getting

855
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: to eight thousand yards. Here he is after the game.

856
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: Thank the quarterbacks just helped me get get eight thousand yards.

857
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: I can't throw the ball to myself. Even the brock Oys, Wilders,

858
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: you know, the Brandon Whedness Um, you know, I gotta

859
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: think those guys honestly, you know, y'all might laugh, but

860
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: you know I can't throw the ball to myself. I mean,

861
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: it's right, Yeah, he's technically right. They're laughing. Johnny the

862
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: media laughed. I'm laughing. Or Brock I mean, just the

863
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: way he said. It's like even the brock As Wilders

864
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: and the and the Brandon Weeds. I mean, yo, listen,

865
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 1: there were when we went to New Orleans. I don't

866
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: know if anybody caught this. We went to New Orleans.

867
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: They they they did this thing and I saw it

868
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: in pregame and I was like, are they gonna run this?

869
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: And they essentially were showing the differences between New Orleans

870
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: and Houston. It's one of those things kind of like, yeah,

871
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna share the bad things that Houston, but all

872
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: the good things of New or video board, Yeah, up

873
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: on the video board. And they they got to one,

874
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: and they showed Texans quarterbacks since two thousand and two,

875
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: and it's just random collause photos of guys all the

876
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: way across. And then they went or since two thousand

877
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: and six. Yeah, and then they went since Saints quarterback one.

878
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: The whole place when nuts when they finally played it.

879
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: But I remember seeing it. I'm watching this litany of

880
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks go by, and I'm like, oh my god, that's

881
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: DeAndre was That's what he was dealing with. That would

882
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: have been so sweet that wanted to get you know,

883
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: we could do a show in the offseason, you know,

884
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: the how NFL Network has the Missing Rings, Yeah, the

885
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: Missing wins? Yeah, you know the Patriots two years ago,

886
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: that one due open the season. Don't make me listening

887
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: right now, So yeah, yeah, thank yeah. But the point

888
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: being how many different quarterbacks were up there, and then

889
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: of course the Sean was the last one, as they

890
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: had this kind of collage of quarterbacks. And that's the point.

891
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: We got that guy now exactly. That's our breeze, right,

892
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins has him now and I think hop

893
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: is what sixty catches at this point, and he's on

894
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: track for he's on pace. It's easy to do now

895
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: because they pay a game. So it's one hundred and

896
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: twenty catches, twelve hundred plush yards, six touchdowns something like that.

897
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of a for him, that's kind

898
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: of a run of the mill year. But in each

899
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: of these games, running back DeAndre Hopkins has been huge.

900
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: Running back Dedre Hopkins because think of how many times

901
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: what game was it he had nine catches for fifty five?

902
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: That was the Kansas City game? Was it? Yeah, Kansa game,

903
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: nine for fifty five And I actually saw him in

904
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: the hall and I complimented him. I said, that was

905
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, I know that that's not going to be

906
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: the Sports Center highlight, real stuff. But so physical in

907
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: the Atlanta game too, he was so physical, taking the heat,

908
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: taking the hits, moving the sticks doing I mean it's

909
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: like he's a big tight end. Sometimes he's a speedy receiver,

910
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: he's a hands guy on the sidelines. He can do

911
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: it all and incredibly durable. Remember you got flipped up

912
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: last week and just pops right up and keeps on going.

913
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: The guy phenomenal. He's look, you know, we always talking

914
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: about the best and who's the best, and Julio Jones

915
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: and him and Antonio Brown's not playing right now, and

916
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: who you know, whoever else? Look, I don't know. All

917
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: I know is that if he's not the best, he's

918
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: top two or three at the outside. And I don't

919
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: know if you'd want anybody else on this team. I

920
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: don't think you would, because what he means to this squad,

921
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: the chemistry he has with the Sean, that connection right now.

922
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: We talked about chemistry with Fells, obviously there's even more

923
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: of it with DeAndre Hopkins. One an asset to have

924
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: and and I'll always go back to Andrey Johnson passing

925
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: the baton to DeAndre Hopkins and how this franchise has

926
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: been blessed with really two of the best receivers to

927
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: play in this league since two thousand and two. And

928
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: at the time that they play, and we're watching this

929
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: thing in progress at the time that they play, you

930
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: can't dispute this. That's that he's one of the very best,

931
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: if not the best. The one thing I think about

932
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: this in kind of basketball terms, if I've got a

933
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: shot to make, I mean, now, the Rockets have two guys.

934
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: I've always said that he's a big get guy. Yeah,

935
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: he's a big bucket guy like I need a first down,

936
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 1: and I go back to ob being miked up against

937
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys last year. I gotta find a play

938
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: for Hopkins. We've gotta get Hopkins the ball, and then

939
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: he makes that play. He makes hopspins. You know, he's

940
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: been that guy. Cincinnati in twenty fifteen, It's like they're

941
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: playing post safety coverage. They're man and man at t. J. Yates,

942
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: who hadn't thrown a football in like five weeks or

943
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: whatever it was, gets in the game and I'm throwing

944
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: the ball to Hopkins. Yeah, I'm just gonna throw it

945
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: to Hopkins. I remember Cincinnati Thursday night twenty seventeen. We've

946
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: got the lead, but it's a one point lead, and

947
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: Watson's like his first start. I'm throwing a ball to ten.

948
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: He's gonna work that sideline and I'm just gonna throw

949
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: it to him the whole time. And they went right

950
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: down and kick the field would give him a four

951
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: point lead and won that game. It's that's the comfort

952
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: you have with a guy like DeAndre Hopkins. Look, I

953
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: know Fells has been great, and Fuller has had his

954
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: moments this year that have been I mean the Atlanta

955
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: game was tremendous. But when you need the big bucket,

956
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: number ten's your guy, find a way throw him the

957
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: ball in some way, shape or form. By the way

958
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: I just saw, I hadn't seen him yet. The Brett

959
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: Current fake field ball. I'm carrying the ball around the

960
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: left side and I fumbled and they return it for

961
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: a touchdown. How do they blow that dead? How do

962
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: they blow it dead? Maybe they thought he was dead.

963
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: It could be, but the ball was out. The ball

964
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,959
Speaker 1: is out, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, teams work hard

965
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: to get the ball out. Ball security is big in

966
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: this league. And I just heard that. I've kind of

967
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: heard that a couple of times. Actually that's a big thing.

968
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: I saw the hit. It's funny because I just on

969
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: Twitter periodically throughout the day. I saw the hit. I

970
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: didn't know but the ball came out. Situation with all that,

971
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: I didn't know the ball had been it was. How

972
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: about Tennessee and the Colts pulling him out of the

973
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: fire yesterday, I mean, Kobe Perces. What if Clutters should

974
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: have been sacked in the end zone escapes like Tony

975
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: Romo did against the Texans in twenty fourteen escapes, but

976
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: he's deep in his own end and he rolls out

977
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: to the right and somehow finds t Y Hilton. Big play.

978
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 1: Couple of plays later in a penalty. This is your fault,

979
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: by the way, I know this is your fault. We'll

980
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: talk about this later. I bet Andre, Yeah, we'll talk

981
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: about it. Because Andrea and I went trading places. It

982
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: was Randolph and Mortimer, and we bet the usual amount

983
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: on something and I lost, and it's all my fault,

984
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: all right, Andrea ware coming up? And what are we

985
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: watching with Deshaun Watson here? What are we watching? I mean,

986
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: how how do we gauge what we're going through here

987
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: with this guy? You got to really embrace this and

988
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: appreciate it and just savor everything because you're watching something

989
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: incredible in progress here in real time. This man's career

990
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: is just phenomenal, magnificent to watch. We'll talk about it

991
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: with Andre. Next. Texans Monday presented by Houston Methodist. Presented

992
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: by Houston Methodist. Presented by Houston Methodist. Back to the

Speaker 1: It's Texans Monday presented by Houston Methodist Geico and by

00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: Papa Johns Houston, third down and five, just inside the

996
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: thirteen yard lot of Oakland. Here's the snap to the shan.

997
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: The Russia's on the shan flowing right side. He's got shot,

998
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: said touchdown. Houston three touchdown passes on to day forward

999
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, two of them, two fells, and the Texans

1000
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders and moved to five and three at

1001
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: the halfway point of the season. With the Jaguars on Sunday,

1002
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: it's an eight thirty start. It's breakfast at Wembley on

1003
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: Sunday eight thirty am. So you roll out of bed

1004
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: and they're kicking the ball. Yeah, and we'll be on

1005
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: the air and yeah, I feel I'm feeling a little

1006
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: bit for Sean and Seth. But the pregame show at

1007
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: five thirty episode a little bit for them. Well, it's

1008
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: just a continuation of what they do every Yeah, it's

1009
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: it's the half it's early half hour earlier, guys, you

1010
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: can do it, but sorry about that. And you know what,

1011
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: when we're done, Okay, it's eight thirty to about eleven

1012
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: thirty and then the post game and you know Sean's

1013
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 1: gonna roll out of there about two thirties, gonna load,

1014
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna like that and then yeah, and then he

1015
00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: can watch the rest of the games. Yeah, and then

1016
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: we have that nine and a half hour flight home.

1017
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: But it's it's a luxury, it's beautiful. All right. Let's

1018
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: go to Andre Ware now on the line and Drey

1019
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Actually, before we get to him, you and

1020
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: I made the friendly wagers. Ye yah, can we get

1021
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: into this, But it's like trading places. It's like the

1022
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: usual about Roundolph one dollar for because the Colts and

1023
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: Denver were hooking up. It was a one point game,

1024
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: Denver one point lead, Denver with a third and four,

1025
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: can't get it. They got a punt deep. Actually we

1026
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: made the wager before that. Once they converted a second

1027
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,439
Speaker 1: and two and got the ball back for a fresh

1028
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: set of days. I said, Denver's got this now, but

1029
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: you were really confident the culture going to pull it out,

1030
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: and you I owe you a dollar because I only

1031
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: had a twenty. Sorry. Yeah, I just felt like there's

1032
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: a little bit too much time on the clock. And

1033
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: if Denver didn't score, which I didn't think they did,

1034
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: because they weren't really pressing the issue to try to score.

1035
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 1: They were more protective mode that they would give the

1036
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: ball back or somehow the Colts will get another possession,

1037
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: and Jacoby Brissette would put a drive together to at

1038
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: least give Adam Vinetary another shot at a field goal.

1039
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: He'd missed two earlier in the game. I didn't feel

1040
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: like he was gonna miss the next one, and it

1041
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: was true. It was right down the medal from about

1042
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: fifty one yards or so. I mean, that's the twenty

1043
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: ninth buzzer beater in his career. By the way, after

1044
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: a rough start, he had missed one extra point when

1045
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: they scored to make it thirteen twelves, like a little

1046
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 1: thirteen thirteen. The game is tied, and so I turned

1047
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: away from the game. I turned back, I was like,

1048
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: why is it still thirteen twelve? Oh? Vinetarry missed an

1049
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: extra point? I'm like, oh, man, could that be it? Oh? Well,

1050
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. Andre to Mark question about

1051
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and what we're watching. It almost trying to

1052
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: find an adjective for what he's doing. It's almost not

1053
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 1: fair because it feels like it doesn't do it justice.

1054
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: But what he's doing is almost unfair to other teams

1055
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: in some sense, what have you seen with him? In

1056
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: particular sense to Caroline game where it feels like he

1057
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: has made one key play after another. Well, we were warned,

1058
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: I mean, dabbl Sweeney warned us that this is who

1059
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: he was and he was only going to get better,

1060
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: a better version of himself as he got further cemented

1061
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: into what the Texas were doing offensively. You know, you

1062
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: can't describe it. You just sit back and relish in

1063
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: it and enjoy it. Because I think you got to

1064
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: credit the coaching staff as well to a degree when

1065
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: they are giving him things that he's comfortable with. I

1066
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: think when you try to put just make him a

1067
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: pocket passer, and I thought that was the case earlier

1068
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: in the season. He wasn't himself. It didn't allow him,

1069
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, really take advantage of his athletic ability and

1070
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: put pressure on the defense. They made the necessary adjustments.

1071
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: There's some RPOs in there. They're booting him out. He's rolling,

1072
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: and that I think is where he feels most comfortable.

1073
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: That when you go to the other stuff, the pocket stuff,

1074
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: he's playing with a a tremendous amount of confidence. So

1075
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: there's really no adjectives to really describe what he's doing.

1076
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 1: It's just the fact that he is a special player.

1077
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: And again Dabo warned us that this is what he is.

1078
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: He put us on alert that this is what we

1079
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: were getting h and it's true. Yeah, and it's hard

1080
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: to really categorize where he is. I mean, look, you

1081
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: go back to guys like fran Tarkington and Doug Flutie

1082
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: in college, and then you go to Randall Cunningham and

1083
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: you know Michael Vick a little bit. I mean, he's

1084
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything, but that doesn't really paint

1085
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: the picture of how good a passer he really is. Yeah,

1086
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: he's accurate, and I think the difference, a big difference

1087
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: as well and where he was maybe a year ago

1088
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: or at the beginning of the season, is that he's

1089
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: taking kind of what's there. He's not forcing the ball

1090
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,720
Speaker 1: in the coverage. He's seeing coverage, he's seeing the entire field,

1091
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: and he's taking the checkdowns and those are you know,

1092
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 1: five seven yard checkdowns, keeping in second, third and medium,

1093
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: and then he's converting and it's it's a tremendous amount

1094
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: of pressure on a defense when he's on the move.

1095
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: And yesterday he did it to perfection. Each and every

1096
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: time he was outside the pocket. It seemed like he

1097
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: was making the plays to keep drives alive. Dre It

1098
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: felt like yesterday and I mentioned the word grit, and

1099
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: it kind of felt like that, But the atmosphere wise,

1100
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: it felt like a little bit more than just a

1101
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: regular season game with the Raiders fans in there, and

1102
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: it just had a little bit different feel to it.

1103
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: But with the starters that they had lost, with JJ

1104
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: out for the game, Lonnie out for the game, the

1105
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: secondary basically down to three guys, the offense losing Laramie

1106
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: at some point gotta Chris Clark to left tackle Dan

1107
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: Skipper in the game. I mean, obviously it's not the

1108
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: way you drawed up, but yet the Texans found a

1109
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: way to get a win. What do you think it

1110
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: says for this team and his coaching staff to find

1111
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: a way to get a win in a situation like that.

1112
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: I think we used that word in a pre in

1113
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: the post game was just grit and resiliency, and you know,

1114
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: they were just resilient yesterday and in terms of we're

1115
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: right in the game, and that's why when you're down

1116
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: at at at at halftime, there's no need to press

1117
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: the panic button. You know, you just keep playing. It's

1118
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: a sixty minute football game. They've done some things in

1119
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: the first half. Why can't we, uh, in the second

1120
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 1: half of this one, just duplicate what they've done. We're

1121
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: right here, We'll win the football game. And it's why

1122
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: you play sixty minutes. It was I thought a group

1123
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: that when you were down and getting very little pass

1124
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: for us, they were able to cover up on the

1125
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: back end just enough to where plays weren't made and

1126
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: the Raiders were forced to pump the football, so on

1127
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: and so forth. But yeah, they hung right in there

1128
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: and found a way when it was when it was

1129
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: there to take a game and then finish it. I

1130
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: think the most impressive thing to me was going on

1131
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: about a four minute drive, four and a half minute

1132
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: drive to kill the clock. That's what you work on,

1133
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: I tell you guys all the time. That's what Dinny

1134
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: Green used to do to start practice, was to open

1135
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: with a four minute drive because it teaches the mentality

1136
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: that hey, we're going to finish, We're gonna win the game,

1137
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: we just gotta go finish it. And they were able

1138
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: to do exactly that yesterday. Yeah, two out of the

1139
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: last three. Each of the last two wins able to

1140
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: just kill the clock, and Darren Fells a big part

1141
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: of that. Darren Fells Andre He's thirty three years old,

1142
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: but he's in year six because he played all that

1143
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: pro basketball overseason in Mexico, and you look at the

1144
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: kind of season he's having. Twenty three catches is an

1145
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: all time high for him. He had never had more

1146
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: than twenty one in a single season. And he's been

1147
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: with Arizona Detroit, so those are some pretty good Arizona teams. Fourteen, fifteen,

1148
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: sixteen Detroit, he was with Matthew Stafford. He was with

1149
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland last year, so whatever. But here he is with

1150
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: five touchdown catches career high, twenty three catches career high.

1151
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: What do you make of what you're seeing out of

1152
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: Darren Fells? Yeah, and we're about the halfway points, so

1153
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: maybe double those numbers are somewhere in that range. But

1154
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: you can see, you can see the confidence growing. As

1155
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, you you make the transition from from basketball

1156
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: to football, it takes a little while, especially on the

1157
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,959
Speaker 1: NFL level, and then you get into place where there's

1158
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback. All I gotta do is just kind of

1159
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: show my numbers to him. He's accurate, He's gonna get

1160
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: me the football, and that's what's happening. He's firmly insurance

1161
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: and what they're doing offensively, so that allows him to

1162
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: play with a degree of confidence. And then the more

1163
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: you play, the more you're seeing things, the more you

1164
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: can adjust and continue to play that way. And it's

1165
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: it's it's fun for him, it's fun to see, and

1166
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: it's I'm sure fun for the entire team. Dre J

1167
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: J Watt out for the year torn Peck. He tweeted

1168
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: that he's absolutely gutted that he won't be able to

1169
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: be there the rest of the year. Mark and I

1170
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: have talked about this a little bit. But how do

1171
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: you expect or what do you expect? And obviously it's

1172
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: just kind of educated guests really as to what Rack's

1173
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna do without JJ. But how do you expect they

1174
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: go about filling that role that JJ play, maybe not

1175
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: being JJ Watt, but finding production to somewhat simulate what

1176
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: he gives them. That's a good question and a tough

1177
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: one too, Johnny, because you know, not only do you

1178
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: lose everybody think saw the pass rush, but you lose

1179
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: a run stopper as well, and a guy that can

1180
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: can set the edge of a defense. Now teams will

1181
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: try to try to get outside and if you're flying

1182
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: outside and you can cut underneath with with the outside

1183
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: zone and in the running game, things of that sort.

1184
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: So he brings got a tremendous amount to what the

1185
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: defense does. Yesterday they were able to kind of pin

1186
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: it together and get through a game. But certainly we'll

1187
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,919
Speaker 1: feel it as the season progresses, as they play better

1188
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: teams down the road. I would imagine, you know, Scarlett,

1189
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: of any of you, all those guys will get significant

1190
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: minutes in different packages. I don't see, for see blitzing

1191
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: to try to get pass rush because you're so especially

1192
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: at this point in the season, because you're so young

1193
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: in the secondary, that those guys are still kind of

1194
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: trying to find their way into of learning the defense

1195
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: and being in the right positions, and it's hard to

1196
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: do that when you're when you're blitzing and putting them

1197
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: back there to be exposed to some deep stuff. So

1198
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't see it that way. Maybe you just force

1199
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: teams to try to drive the length of the field

1200
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: and in there they're gonna make a mistake. It's hard

1201
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: to do it, but you have to capitalize when when

1202
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: plays are there. Andrea, it's the only division in football,

1203
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: the ANC South with all four teams five hundred or better.

1204
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: And Tannehill's quarterback in Tennessee, got Minshew in Jacksonville, and

1205
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: Brissette's doing a real nice job with the Cults. Your

1206
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. It was always scary when you imagine

1207
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee with a quarterback that is is consistent, and I

1208
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: think they finally, uh, they have that in Ryan Tanneo

1209
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: and the same thing with Jacksonville and Gardner Minshew. And

1210
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: so when you take and subtract a guy like Andrew Luck,

1211
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: you think, oh boy, the quarterback production and in the

1212
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: the AFC South is going to go way down. Well,

1213
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: actually hasn't. And Jacobe set is continuing to win games

1214
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, So throw his name right into that hat.

1215
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: It's tough division. It's anybody's division. That's why I thought

1216
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: yesterday during that ball game that it was almost a

1217
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: situation where it was a must win because you don't

1218
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: want to fall two games back of the Colts, and

1219
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: then you're traveling way overseas in an environment that you're

1220
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: not familiar with. And then when you get back home

1221
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: the Colts, you get a Biden and the cults are

1222
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,919
Speaker 1: waiting on you. So it felt like about as much

1223
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: of a must win situation as it possibly could. Fortunately

1224
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: for the Texas they were able to do that. Andrea,

1225
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: what do you recommend for jet lag as we go

1226
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: to London? Well, you kind of got to get on

1227
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: that clock as soon as you can. So if it's

1228
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: if it's when we take off, if it's night in London,

1229
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: fall asleep would be my recommendation. As quickly as you can,

1230
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: and try to sleep the entire flight over and then

1231
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: when you wake up, you just you're right on that time.

1232
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about what happens when we get there.

1233
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: It's when we get back in a dusting once we

1234
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: get back home. That's usually the tougher adjustment. It's easy

1235
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: for you to say you can sleep on planes. I've

1236
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: seen you, and i've seen you up close a personal

1237
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: blow the door and it's over for me. Yep, it's over. Yep.

1238
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: All right, Drey, thanks a lot. All right, guys, let's

1239
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: talk later, all right. Next up, a little bit more

1240
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: on the wind Yesterday over the Oakland Raiders. The Texans

1241
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: go to five and three at the break. Where are

1242
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: some of the key things they have to do moving forward?

1243
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: What are some of the things they want to clean up?

1244
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, Bill O'Brien's been talking about this stuff and

1245
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: personnel wise, what do they have to work with in

1246
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: the next few weeks as they head to London. Sunday

1247
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: eight thirty kick with the Jaguars at Wembley. It's Texans Monday,

1248
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: presented by Houston Methodist. They presented by Houston Methodist. Heying

1249
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: in six at the twenty four yard line of Houston

1250
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: for the Oakland Raiders car under center, Jacobs gets the

1251
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: handoff running and blusted by Merciless for a loss. Whitney

1252
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: doing this thing yesterday, and boy, all the guys in

1253
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: that front seven are going to be called upon to

1254
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: do even more with the absence of J. J. Watt

1255
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Whitney after the game on next man up. The thing is,

1256
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: I think every guy in this locker room has just

1257
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: a dog mentality, which is it doesn't matter what happens,

1258
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: whoever gets injured, the next guy is ready to step up,

1259
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: make a play, and no matter how dire the situation,

1260
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: might be. I mean, bad Lady ain't saying yet. So

1261
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go out there and make place. That's

1262
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: good mentality. I love the fat Lady hasn't sung yet.

1263
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,919
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorites. Did you see Jake Martin

1264
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: grabbing the microphone and interviewing Whitney? No, I did not.

1265
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: He's good. I see that. We gotta get a player

1266
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: reporter with Jacob Martin. He likes to be called Jake.

1267
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,479
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to him about this. Yeah, it's it's Jake.

1268
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: He likes to be called Jake Martin, but written as Jacob.

1269
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of like you won't say high willful of

1270
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: the Fifth in the hallway, but it's written it's willful

1271
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: of the Faith. It's kind of the same thing. Yeah,

1272
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: so I can understand. I get it. Yeah, I get it.

1273
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: And Martin, I think we'll be seeing more of him.

1274
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: We have to now, I would guess. Well, I mean

1275
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: it's pretty similar to me. You call me Johnny all

1276
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: the time, but I never write Johnny. How I was right,

1277
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: john So yeah, it's kind of like a nickname, like

1278
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't write Vandy. Hi, this is vand's true, you know.

1279
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't really do that love Vandy. No, I don't

1280
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: really do the third person. Yeah, would like some breakfast,

1281
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: Vandy would like a win. Okay, it's like the Sinefel

1282
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: with Jimmy. You know, Jimmy finds you attractive. He does that.

1283
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: You know. Sidefelds are almost funnier when you talk about

1284
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: them than when you watch them. It's a it's a

1285
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: weird kind of thing. Uh. Whitney. Also on the defensive effort,

1286
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: you talked about this what goes down Lonnie goes out.

1287
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: That was in the second quarter, but they're able to

1288
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: hold strong. Only ten points allowed after that. Here's Whitney

1289
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: on the effort late. Like I said, we just settled

1290
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: down second half and really just come straight on just

1291
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: doing our job, one game, one play at a time,

1292
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: and sure enough we did that. You know, they had

1293
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: a big play third down or whatever, down the field

1294
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: or whatever, but it got broken up. They got broken up,

1295
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: so that was great. Macaf our Dbs did a tremendous

1296
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: job in the second half, even though we got a

1297
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: lot of guys down, so we really took that next

1298
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: man up mentality. It's harmed you know, Johnny obviously being

1299
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: associated with this team and seeing this kind of thing

1300
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: happen a few times where you have a lot of

1301
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: injuries and guys have to step up. You know, I

1302
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: harken back to the times they've done it, and I

1303
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: know other teams go through it, but man, this team

1304
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: has had some seasons now. Two years ago was ridiculous.

1305
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: They led It was an all time high amount of

1306
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: a high volume of players on a fifty three man

1307
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: roster with seventy eight. I mean, that's set a modern

1308
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: NFL record, and that's what you definitely want to avoid.

1309
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: And of course, the most important player got hurt that year,

1310
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 1: so we don't want to relive that. But there have

1311
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: been numerous other occasions where they got a lot of

1312
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: guys hurt and they're able to overcome, maybe win the division,

1313
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, maybe not, maybe just have a winning

1314
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: season like in twenty fourteen. But I guess other teams

1315
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: go through it too. I mean, you just don't follow

1316
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: some of those guys as closely, some of those squads

1317
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: as closely as this one. But the fact is that

1318
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Whitney's been through this kind of thing. There are some

1319
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room, j Joe, they've seen this

1320
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: kind of thing before and lived through it and actually

1321
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: not only survived but thrived in some cases. But you're

1322
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to navigate through these

1323
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,439
Speaker 1: next few weeks, and you're gonna start getting guys back

1324
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: in that unofficial I call it the unofficial IR on

1325
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: fifty three, meaning guys who are hurt not dressing. Obviously,

1326
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: you're only dressing forty six on Sunday, So this is

1327
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: where I'm not gonna say that helps you, because you'd

1328
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: love to have the extra spots, but it is a

1329
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: situation where if you're only dressing forty six, this is

1330
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: why they have that rule, because the Texans have to

1331
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: keep these guys. They can't afford to ir everybody. Titus

1332
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Howard is one of those guys. Fuller, Will Fuller, Bradley Roby.

1333
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: These guys are not out for the season. They're gonna

1334
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: come back. And Bill O'Brien even addressed the other two

1335
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: tight ends, Kahale Wearing and Jordan tom Is, saying, well,

1336
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: they're in a situation right now where they have two

1337
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: tight ends playing pretty well, and Fells one of them. Obviously,

1338
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: we just went over his situation. And once they start

1339
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: that clock on these IR designated to return. Right, people,

1340
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: once you say we want to practice Jordan Thomas, for instance,

1341
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: well he's got to come back or you gotta put

1342
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: him on IR, and that burns one of your spots, right,

1343
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: and they don't want to have to do that. Yeah,

1344
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: but you obviously JJ over the next day or two whatever,

1345
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the semantic, So he'll go on IR

1346
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. Yeah, So that that

1347
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: gets you a spot. Yeah, So that gets your spots.

1348
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: So you gotta fill that spot, so you have to

1349
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: figure out what to do. You'll you'll add a guy,

1350
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: You'll add a guy there. But I mentioned it earlier,

1351
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: at some point, you know, defensively Robie Joseph Gibson, Lonnie Ye,

1352
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: Robie Joseph Gibson, Lonnie I mean that's you can be

1353
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: lone and safety. Make that your your secondary. At some

1354
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: point you're like, you're full secondary. So you'll get those

1355
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 1: guys back fuller, tightest. Those are all guys you hope

1356
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: to get back within the next two three weeks. I've

1357
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,919
Speaker 1: I feel like Titus might be a little bit longer.

1358
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned earlier that back in what year

1359
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: was at two thousand and seven on Frey Johnson sprained

1360
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: MCL seven weeks now heard it week two against Carolina,

1361
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: and every everything comes with different grades of sprains, different

1362
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: you never know what what it could be. I saw

1363
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Titus on the sideline yesterday, which that was a good sign, like, hey,

1364
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: you know Titus is around and he's here because I

1365
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: hadn't seen him for a little bit. It's not like

1366
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: he's in traction right, so hopefully I mean getting tightest back.

1367
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,639
Speaker 1: It's funny I read an article, I think the Draft

1368
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Network did an article and they were talking about you know,

1369
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: whoever the next Texans GM would be is, you know,

1370
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: here's what they're facing. And they made a comment about

1371
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: your tightest being a developmental tackle. It's like bro had

1372
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: y'all been watching him the first five weeks that he

1373
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: was playing. That was not developmental. That was a really

1374
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: advanced rookie playing tackle. And he's he's been sorely missed.

1375
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: But I'll give credit to Chris Clark for stepping in.

1376
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: I know he was exhausted at the end of that game.

1377
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: He hadn't been playing. He had played since Week seventeen

1378
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, I give a tip of the

1379
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: captain that kind of is symbolic of the whole day. Really, Yeah,

1380
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: that guys just found a little bit extra go get

1381
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: that win yesterday. So you get those guys, like you said,

1382
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: you get Fuller back at some point, you get Robie back.

1383
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully in a couple of weeks, you get tight us back,

1384
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: and what that can mean just having fuller and tight

1385
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: us back for your offense. Now, football is that kind

1386
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: of sport. So you might lose a guy down the road.

1387
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: You hope not to. You didn't want to lose JJ

1388
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: Waton Lonnie Johnson yesterday, but because it's happened before, I

1389
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 1: think there is that mentality of yes, next man up,

1390
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: and yeah it's gonna stay and guy's gonna be like,

1391
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: dang it, man, we really had something with with jj

1392
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: going on here, But okay, what do we gotta do next.

1393
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they had Clowney then when they were the

1394
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: number one defense in the league without JJ Watt right right,

1395
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: they had Clowney in the building. So obviously, great player,

1396
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: you don't have them right now, but you do have

1397
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: some guys who can certainly help out. And as Whitney said,

1398
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: it's a dog mentality, and we mentioned Jake Martin he's

1399
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 1: one of those guys who can help rush the passer.

1400
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: And McClane made the point that it's not like they've

1401
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: been setting the world on fire with sacks lately. But

1402
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Wat had the six six quarterback hits last week. Okay,

1403
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, Wat's been busy. Wat's been getting TFLs. He's

1404
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: been in the backfield a lot. They have to game

1405
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: plan for Look, JJ Watt, this is a huge loss

1406
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: and somehow, you're gonna have to find a way to,

1407
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 1: like we said, reconstruct some of the things that he

1408
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: does in order to survive. And boy, oh boy, you

1409
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 1: cannot wait to get some of those guys on the

1410
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: back end back because that's really gonna help. Obviously, it's

1411
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: a chicken and egg thing. You're front seven and front five,

1412
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: front four, however you want to describe them in a

1413
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: three four defense. So let's just see what they can

1414
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: do health wise. But the matter at hand, London. It's

1415
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: a quick week because they're gonna travel on Thursday and

1416
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: make the trip overseas. It's an eight thirty kickoff on Sunday,

1417
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: like we said, so you can't call it a short week,

1418
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: but it's a quick week and it's a different kind

1419
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: of week as you go over there. And the Jags,

1420
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 1: I know, teams roll over with players every year and

1421
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Minshew's never done it, but they've got more guys who

1422
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: have done the London thing than you have. So I

1423
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: think that's got to be a bit of an advantage,

1424
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, once you get on the lines and start playing.

1425
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not, but just the routine and all of it,

1426
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: and just knowing what to expect with your body with

1427
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the flight and the last time I did this and

1428
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: I would rather do it this way. They know those

1429
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: kinds of things. What did Watson say about adjusting? What

1430
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: did he say? What he travels overseas? I think McLane

1431
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: was talking about this. They asked Watson. He said, I

1432
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 1: just fall asleep on the plane. He's like, Andre, they

1433
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 1: just pass out on the plane on the way over.

1434
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 1: That's tough for me, all right. Spencer Tillman, does he

1435
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 1: have any jetlag advice? What about other advice? What about

1436
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: these running backs? Carlos Hide getting hot in the second half.

1437
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Spencer about that, about the Jags, about

1438
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: the whole thing is Texans Monday presented by Houston Methodist

1439
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:51,839
Speaker 1: continues here on Texans radio here on Texans It's Texans

1440
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: Radio on Sports Radio six ten. First down in twenty

1441
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: from the Raiders from their eighteen yard line. They're up

1442
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: fourteen seven here in the second car our, hands off

1443
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 1: to Jacobs, who's broad Dawn of the Blackfield by JJ?

1444
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: What on TfL for JJ? What makee that play? What?

1445
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: Exiting the game? Exiting the season? He tweeted out that

1446
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: he's done for twenty nineteen and it's a sad, sad

1447
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: thing for this football team which has to operate without him.

1448
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: But they win the game against the Raiders and they're

1449
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 1: five and three at the halfway point with Jacksonville up.

1450
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: Sunday eight thirty am kickoff at Wembley Stadium. Breakfast at Wembley,

1451
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: Mark Vandamer and John Harris with you. Joined now by

1452
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: Spencer Tillman of Inside the Game and also Fox Sports

1453
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: and Texans preseason football. Spence, good morning, what do you

1454
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: let's start here? No, JJ, the team operated pretty well

1455
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: yesterday without him for the duration of the game. But

1456
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: what about for the duration of the season your thoughts

1457
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: well as detaches it may sound, gentleman, good morning. First

1458
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: of all, I think you have to have a snap

1459
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: and clear mentality. And listen, everybody knows bribedly that you

1460
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 1: cannot ignore one of the most prolific players in the

1461
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Slash decade. But the bottom line is you're not going

1462
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: to have him. So how quick do you get over that?

1463
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 1: How quickly do you integrate his absence in what you're

1464
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: doing schematically if you're rack so from that standpoint, it's

1465
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: just another opportunity for them to do what the plashy suggests,

1466
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 1: the next man up and just keep pushing. You know,

1467
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: that's the bottom line. It's not really complicated. We talk

1468
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: about it because it's he is, who he is and

1469
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 1: what he's meant to this team. But at some point

1470
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 1: in time, you know, for sixty minutes, for the next

1471
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 1: few weeks, you gotta that comprised the season, you gotta

1472
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 1: get past it. Spencer Deshall Watson yesterday just phenomenal. Yet again,

1473
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the numbers don't even really tell the whole story.

1474
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: How he's able to pull things together the way he is,

1475
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: how he makes plays. What have you seen in the

1476
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: growth of DeShawn Watson, in particular from the Carolina game.

1477
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a tough question. Obviously, we've known

1478
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: that he's had the capacity to make those unscripted Houdini

1479
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: like plays. But I think he topped himself. Even with

1480
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: the foot in his eye, he you know, made what

1481
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:04,440
Speaker 1: ended up being to go ahead and securing wind touchdown.

1482
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: And so what I saw yesterday was just phenomenal. It

1483
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: was amazing. I know it can be a nightmare and

1484
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 1: frustrated for offensive lineman that don't know where he's going

1485
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: to end up in the pocket, and so that that

1486
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: can be tough to deal with. But just from pure

1487
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 1: art and pure creativity, um he's in rare fired air.

1488
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: So it's a tough to say. You know, you don't

1489
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: script those kinds of things, so it's tough to evaluate

1490
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: what progress has been made. I think the previous two

1491
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: weeks there was a nice integration of what his skill

1492
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 1: set was with what you know um Obe was coming

1493
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: up with as a plan and and his coordinator. I

1494
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,759
Speaker 1: think that that was a kind of emerging and coming

1495
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: together that I would have liked to see that stay

1496
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: on schedule and continue to grow. Perhaps they'll get back

1497
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: on schedule on some of that stuff, but it's an evolution.

1498
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: I know they probade themselves on having something different every week.

1499
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: But I say, if it's not broke, you know, don't

1500
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: don't fix it. Continue to do what you do until

1501
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: somebody um, you know the size otherwise on the posing defense, Yeah,

1502
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: a good fight of a progress. Here is no turno

1503
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: over his yesterday, zero picks, no fum boles for Watson

1504
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: with a three touchdown passes. Real solid day for him,

1505
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: no doubt Spencer. And we're watching DeAndre Hopkins getting to

1506
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 1: eight thousand yards, third youngest to do it, behind Randy

1507
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: Moss and Larry fitz Jones. What about the kind of

1508
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: performance he's putting out, not only yesterday but this season. Well,

1509
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you're you're shorthanded, you know, fuller not there,

1510
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: not available to you. You know, Kenny had a couple

1511
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: of good opportunities, but you know, have one drop. I

1512
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 1: believe when you are the guy and you're going to

1513
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 1: you all the time and there's still nothing they can

1514
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: do about it, that's the that's the ultimate security blanket

1515
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: for a quarterback. And everybody's known that. And he still

1516
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 1: draws double coverage and he's still when you have to

1517
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: go to him. The guy finds a way to move

1518
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: the ball and move the chains and so I'm listen,

1519
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: we all get spoiled trying to come up with superlatives

1520
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: to define his game, but that the greatest ability is dependability,

1521
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: And to me, that's what I think about when I

1522
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: see number ten out there. To me, he's the equivalent

1523
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: of what Joe Montana was to those Camelot teams so

1524
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: that we had New San France. He and I really

1525
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: mean that from the bottom of heart, guys, he is

1526
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: that dependable. You never That's why Harris Barden could turn

1527
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: to him and with John Candy sitting on the sideline

1528
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 1: and smile. Ten seconds later and you move the ball

1529
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: down the field and you're scoring a touchdown. That comfort

1530
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: level is that high, you know. So again, I wish

1531
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I could come up with some other words of describe it,

1532
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: but to me, it's just a it's a it's a

1533
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: luxury that you have and it's it's a blessing Spencer.

1534
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier about JJ the next man of theory,

1535
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 1: and obviously that's kind of life in the NFL. But

1536
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: I think to get to that next man of theory

1537
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: kind of understanding what they'll have to do, there's no

1538
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: one for one swap. Do you take white out? You

1539
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: put this guy in and just keep cruising. So how

1540
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: do you expect Rack in some sense to replace what

1541
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: JJ gave them? Do you think gets more blitz in

1542
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: the pass rush? Do you think it's different bodies up front?

1543
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: How do you think they're going to handle this without

1544
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 1: JJ upfront? Schematically? Listen, John, you've been around the game.

1545
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: You you've coached, and you can see things. You and

1546
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: mark and see things. Listen. This is a man to

1547
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: man team. That's reason why you got Connelly in here.

1548
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 1: That's the reason why you know, people get exposed from

1549
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: time to time. I think some of the skill sets

1550
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: that they saw and Connie when they bought them in

1551
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 1: was great and man to man, but there's some things

1552
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: you die about the sword on as well, giving up

1553
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 1: big plays and all that stuff. You're not going to

1554
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: replace J. J. Watt, And it's gonna get tougher, It's

1555
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: not gonna get easier because you still have to Everything

1556
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 1: is kind of tied into one another. Front's end coverages.

1557
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: The success of the back end can be masked by

1558
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: a great pass rush, and the alternate is true as well.

1559
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: But if you can't affect the quarterback and you still

1560
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: relying on man to man coverage back in you're gonna

1561
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: get beat some so you may see a few more explosives,

1562
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,759
Speaker 1: you know, not being able to get to the quarterback.

1563
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: So you gotta brace yourself for that. And those are

1564
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: kind of inside things because I think the average fan

1565
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: is going to expect, not necessarily to replace JJ Wat,

1566
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: but they're going to think that if you're giving up

1567
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: more plays that that wasn't a fair exchange. Well, if

1568
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: you lose a J. J. Watt, you're not going to

1569
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: affect the quarterback as much. You're still asking people to

1570
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: play man coverage. You're gonna get beat probably more. So

1571
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: brace yourself for that. That's the reality of this game.

1572
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: Hopefully they can find someone to emerge, Whitney can step

1573
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: up in others to affect the quarterback and maybe get

1574
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 1: some nice games and deals up front. To find a

1575
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: way to get through, you know, Reader and company, we're

1576
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: gonna have to just be more aggressive and find ways

1577
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback and get home. Spencer, forgive

1578
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: me for forgetting but overseas travel for you as an athlete,

1579
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: share your experience well Japan a couple of times. Yeah,

1580
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: that that was interesting. Played the rams over there. Your

1581
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: body clock. You gotta be mindful of that, guys, and

1582
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:33,680
Speaker 1: I think they're going over on Thursday. I think you

1583
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: guys are headed over. I think that's going to help.

1584
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: But that early start is going to be something. Nutrition

1585
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be big as well. And find ways to

1586
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback and get home. Spencer, forgive me

1587
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 1: for forgetting, but overseas travel for you as an athlete,

1588
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: share your experience well Japan a couple of times and yeah,

1589
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: that was interesting. Played the rams over there. Your body clock,

1590
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 1: you gotta be mindful of that, guys, and I think

1591
01:18:58,160 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 1: they're going over on Thursday. I think you guys are

1592
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: headed over. I think that's going to help. But that

1593
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 1: early start is going to be something. Nutrition is gonna

1594
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: be big as well. You probably I know that carbs

1595
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily the thing that the order of the day

1596
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: now the mindset has changed a little bit, but your

1597
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: rest and recovery cycle has got to be probably a

1598
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 1: full day ratcheted up. And whatever the Houston Texans clock is,

1599
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: they've got to understand it's going to be two days back,

1600
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: so your nutrition is gonna have to be calibrated to

1601
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: fit that. Your body clock is going to be different.

1602
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: I see it happen every day in the college range

1603
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 1: because there's so many games that are either late night

1604
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:33,839
Speaker 1: on the Pacific coast or early games. Guys are getting upset.

1605
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: Look if you go back and you break down the

1606
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: anatomy of some of these upsets, it's happening because they're

1607
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: playing games in context that they that's foreign to them.

1608
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: And when you're dealing with delicate personalities like these young

1609
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: kids today, you disrupt their routine a little bit and

1610
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,679
Speaker 1: their whole head is screwed up. So that it does

1611
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: play a big thing. TV loves it because they can

1612
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: shuffle things around, but in terms of the coaches, sometimes

1613
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: they hate it. So just be mindful of those things.

1614
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: And the Texans are, you know, being talked about a

1615
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday. They'll some things. As long as you're

1616
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: aware of it, you can deal with it. So you

1617
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: played the Cowboys at a preseason game in Tokyo. Is

1618
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: that it played the Rams in the preseason game in Tokyo.

1619
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: I think we played the Cowboys to one year in Tokyo,

1620
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: so that I think we won both of those. So yeah,

1621
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: but there's no question that had an impact on your

1622
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 1: body and your rhythm and your clock, no question. Well,

1623
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: what was it like actually playing those games in Tokyo?

1624
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,640
Speaker 1: Being on the field? Yo was weird, man, because it

1625
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: was a cult. Well on the field, if we're keeping

1626
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,759
Speaker 1: the narrative on the field, it was really no material difference.

1627
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you're going out there playing a game, but

1628
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: the culture is so different. I mean, we stayed at

1629
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: the new Otani Hotel I think at the time, not

1630
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: so new anymore, but it was a new Otani Hotel

1631
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: and it was a great environment. Everything was scaled down.

1632
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: Everything so prim and proper treaty to Knights because you're

1633
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 1: part of the NFL. But that is a contrast, you know.

1634
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: And I'm just being transparent with you guys. And many

1635
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: of the brothers on my team hadn't been over to Japan,

1636
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 1: they hadn't seen the environment. It was different, and people

1637
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: look at you differently. You know, it's it's weird, man.

1638
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 1: So it was a different vironment. As long as you

1639
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 1: don't get kind of soaked up in all of that

1640
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:06,799
Speaker 1: newness and objectivity, you're gonna be okay. All right, Spencer,

1641
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,560
Speaker 1: what do you have in college this week? Man? I

1642
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 1: got we got the not so big noon kickoff, and

1643
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: everyone we've had. You know, we had to pick this

1644
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: one in advance. We got Nebraska and produe this this week,

1645
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a dark force. They're struggling, but

1646
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: there's some narratives there. You know. Scott Frost has got

1647
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: to find a way to get a coaching staff to

1648
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: get some some continuity moving forward. Otherwise the Natives, even

1649
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: Nebraska's gonna started getting a little restless. So we'll see

1650
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 1: how that works out. I might not have to call

1651
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Coogler and Nebraska and have him kind of getting

1652
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,719
Speaker 1: a synoptic overview about what's going on there. Hey Spence,

1653
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: did you did you have Utah and Kyl the other night? Yeah?

1654
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 1: Had you take Kyle? You know how after dark? How

1655
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: good of a Yeah? They're huge. They're run to lead

1656
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: their quarterback. I mean, he's kind of like, and I

1657
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,360

1658
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: Watson light, super light, but he's he's got that that

1659
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: escape ability, he's physical and that defense that they have

1660
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: to me, I think it's the best overall in the

1661
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,280

01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: still wear a watch? Why don't you just use your phone?

1697
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I still look at the time on

1698
01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,840

1721
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: aspect of this, this is where you kick it in

1722
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: the high gear. We're gonna talk about that with Bill

1723
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: O'Brien today at five. Well that's the other thing I

1724
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 1: thought about, was, I mean, I've never been to London,

1725
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: so I don't know from a dietary perspective, from food perspective,

1726
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: you'll have no problem finding carves in London, trust me

1727
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: on this. But if we say you fly in fact,

1728
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 1: there's not a vegetable in the entire continent of Heroe.

1729
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: Now I'm just kidding. Now in England there's no vegetable. Okay,

1730
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe like some some boiled something. I don't know what

1731
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: they have. I'm just really, I'm just curious as to

1732
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: have a bridge freaking out right now that I'm saying this,

1733
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 1: that is not true. You're being very rude and provincial.

1734
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: I just I can't I can't wait. Now we can

1735
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 1: actually talk about going to London. We can actually talk

1736
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 1: about all right home smoke, how smoking hot players at

1737
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: a game? Give me one or two? Come on, man, four, eight, seven, ten,

1738
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: take a pick, yeah, forty seven? About defense? Though, I

1739
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: thought DJ Reader was exceptional. Again, he had a little bit.

1740
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 1: He put together a pro Bowl page. Certainly from that

1741
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: spot shotting it's not about stat You gotta really shine

1742
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: every week and make the make your brethren, your your

1743
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: colleagues around the league love your performance. And Reader is

1744
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: certainly doing that, certainly is he got a little tiff

1745
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: with Richie Cognito and you threw it down to me

1746
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 1: and I said, it's gonna come. I'm telling you it's

1747
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 1: coming back to bite them. It's coming back to bite him.

1748
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: And on a huge twelve yard run for Jacobs that

1749
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: put the ball at about the thirty three yard line,

1750
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: DJ Reader drew a holding penalty on Incognito and it

1751
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 1: was huge. Oh that was a big, huge, That was

1752
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: so huge. Cunningham led the team in tackles with eight combined.

1753
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,640
Speaker 1: Scarlett was second with seven, whereas McKinney five. I mean,

1754
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 1: they're all bunched right up there, Cunningham and McKinney. They

1755
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 1: are ballers, all right. Gonna have to do it in London.

1756
