1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,279 Speaker 1: Hello, Texans had a welcome to the program. Tex sends 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: all access here from the Hunday Texans Radio at NRG Stadium, 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: right across the hall from the locker room. Mark Vanderman 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: with you tonight, joined by John Harris and Johnny and 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: I have not been on the radio together for a while. 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: So how's it going, man? It is? I heard you 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: said this morning. I was driving around and I heard 8 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: you said that this morning, Like, yeah, Johnny and I 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: haven't done radio in a while. Yeah, it's been a while. 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: It's been all of the summer celebration and then halfway 11 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: through the week prior so, then all the way this week. 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: So it's been a good two and a half weeks. Yeah, 13 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: I know it seems like a long time. Let's get 14 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: into the on field stuff because you know, we'll be 15 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: not deep into camp, but we'll be into camp. We'll 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: be a couple of practices into camp in a couple 17 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: of weeks. And that's saying something. I mean a couple 18 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: of camp days in you're already like, okay, we're in it. 19 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: What's going on? We got a lot of takes, we 20 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: got a lot of things, a lot of thoughts, a 21 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: lot of injury updates, a lot of updates on house. 22 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: Some rookies look but they don't get into pads. What 23 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: they'll get to the pads over the weekend the first week. 24 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: First they've got to go two days, two or three 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: days something like that, two days without pads. But then 26 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: they could put the pads on. And I think it's 27 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: that Saturday, and it was that Saturday last year. I 28 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: think the days were different because we played it on Wednesday, 29 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: but it was that first day in pads when Will 30 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Fuller end up breaking his collar bone, and that was 31 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: just such a oh it was. It was frustrating sight 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: to see him walking off the field and we were 33 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: standing up in the stands where it happened. But then 34 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: seeing him all the way across the field going into 35 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: the Sports Performance center there at the Greenbriar, you just 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: didn't know. You thought, man, this is okay, maybe st 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: a bruise, maybe it's just ac two on thing. He'd 38 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: come back with that. And then you find out it's 39 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,279 Speaker 1: a broken collar bone and you're like, oh, man, okay, 40 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: how many weeks is that? And you're doing the math 41 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: on it, like okay, when can he come back? And 42 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: then then you saw him up at the Greenbriar, he 43 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: went at surgery, came back, he did all his rehab 44 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: there and he thought, well, maybe he can get back 45 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: sooner than later, and ended up coming back for Week four. 46 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: So those are the type of things you hope to 47 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: be able to avoid early on in camp, and there 48 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: have been times over the last couple of years where 49 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: they've not had those injuries. Early on twenty sixteen, if 50 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, that was a year they didn't have 51 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries up in training camp, went in 52 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: relatively healthy, seemingly, and then of course the injuries started 53 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: happening shortly thereafter with JJ in Week three and etc. 54 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: And then last year they just happened every single day, 55 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: it seemed last year. So hopefully they can avoid those 56 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: in training camp and get into the season unscathed, and 57 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 1: then they can do that, then hopefully they can stay 58 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: healthy throughout the season. You know, with Will Fuller, since 59 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: we're on the subject and everyone looks at him as 60 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: this burner a kind of guy, and you know, we've 61 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: talked about it that he's made some pretty good catches. 62 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: You know, he really improved the hands a lot last year, 63 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: and he'll continue to improve in that category. But I 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: also see him Johnny. I think that the threat of 65 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: speed enables him to get open and maybe some short 66 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: yardage situations. Shorter yardage it's third and five and they've 67 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: got to respect Hopkins obviously, and maybe Kiki QT or 68 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: Ellington or whoever, and all of a sudden, Fullers cutting 69 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: off a route early and bam, you know, you just 70 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: hit him real quick with a six yard game to 71 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: move the sticks. You know, it doesn't always have to 72 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: be a big touchdown play. I know he caught seven 73 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: touchdowns in four games from Watson, but he'll be available 74 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: for some of that stuff as you need it. Well. 75 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest catches Will made outside 76 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: of the big touchdown catches that he had last year 77 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: in particular, but I remember that rookie year in the 78 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: win against Cincinnati on Christmas Eve, there was a four 79 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: play drive after Brandon the fell win nine yards of 80 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: Texans in a four play seventy five yard drive. It 81 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: was maybe the best drive that had in twenty seventeen. 82 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: And the first play on that drive was Will Fuller 83 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: driving the dB deep. Guy had to respect it, breaks 84 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: it off on a comeback route. Savage hits him big 85 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: first down to start to drive. It was like a 86 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: fifteen to seventeen yard catch. That's the kind of thing 87 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: that Will's got to be able to do. Sell that 88 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: deep ball and then break it down, throttle down and 89 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: then get to the outside and then hopefully your quarterback 90 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: in him and at that point. But you're right, it's 91 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: it's the threat. I've often said this many many times 92 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: that one of the big in an example of this 93 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: is one of the biggest assets I think for this 94 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: team this year and for however long Shaan Watson placed quarterback, 95 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: is the threat of the run. You're so scared of 96 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: the run. But he may never run, but you've got 97 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: you've got our account for it. Now, he may on 98 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: a scramble and he may have a couple of design runs, 99 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: but it's the threat of that run that is so dangerous. 100 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: And I always felt that about Michael Vick. Everybody said, well, well, 101 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: why don't you just drop everybody into passing lanes. I'm like, well, 102 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: then he just takes off the scoots out on you 103 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: and now you're chasing the guy at the four three 104 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: slide down after ten yards and he's picked up a 105 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: first down there still fighting, and the threat of Vick running, 106 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: the threat of the Sean running, those things are so big. 107 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: And the threat of Will Fuller taking a guy deep 108 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: down the field is not only in your one. It 109 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 1: was in theory, and I think teams were like, well, 110 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: it really hasn't beat us down fields, We'll take our chances. 111 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: But last year he did. He beat him downfield, and 112 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: he made him pay in a large part because Deshaun 113 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: was able to find him down the field. But then 114 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: he made them pay. And I think when DeAndre said 115 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: the night Will was drafted, Hey, no more double teams. Look, 116 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre is still gonna get his double teams. But Will 117 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: last year, while healthy, started making teams pay for the 118 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: focus that Hopkins was getting. And so I brought up 119 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: this question a few weeks ago, and I think you 120 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: were out when we talked about it. Probably if you're 121 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: a defense, if you're a defense, how do you go 122 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: about how do you go about defending the Texans receivers? 123 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: How do you go about doing it? Because if you 124 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: go if you look the double Hopkins and then think 125 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna get one on one against the guy, and 126 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: Will Fuller, who now has some experience, who now has 127 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: continued to improve his route running. The picture we saw 128 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: of him working out in Anhem, California at Equanimia Saint Brown. 129 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: He's gotten much bigger and much stronger. He's much more 130 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: at depth at using his hands at the line scrimmags 131 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: to get himself free. How are you going to cover 132 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: the Texans going forward? And no, by the way, if 133 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: one of the other guy steps out, Braxton, Bruce or 134 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: Key Key, and then one of the tight ends Ryan 135 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: Griffin and the gaggle of guys that we've talked about before, 136 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: those guys all step up, and hopefully they will. What 137 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: do you do with Fuller? How do you cover full 138 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: If you're a defensive defensive, if you're a defensive coordinator, 139 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: how do you handle him? You might have to take 140 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: your chances on Hopkins. If you're defending, you might have 141 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: to take your chance. And you know, hopefully, if you're 142 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: the opponent, maybe the pass rush can disrupt the throw, 143 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: make it a little bit off target, which obviously is 144 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: not a problem for Hopkins in most cases. But you 145 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,559 Speaker 1: might have to because Fuller, if he continues to get deep, 146 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and you know that Watson's gonna look 147 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: for him. I mean, he likes the deep ball, he does, 148 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: and it's just gonna be such a threat for this team. 149 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: The other thing is this, you brought up the tight 150 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: ends and some notes from various shows that have taken 151 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: place lately. I was on this morning and Mike said, well, 152 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: I was a little at first wondering about the tight 153 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: end pick with Aikens going in the third round because 154 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: they had needs on the offensive line. Even though they 155 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: picked up Rankin, who we have yet to see because 156 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: he's been banged up. Even though they picked up Ranking, 157 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: they picked up Justin Reid is a great pick up. 158 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: Everybody agrees on that, But I said, you know, tight 159 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: end is a position, or was a position of need. 160 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: You had to fortify. You had to load that chamber 161 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: and see what comes out. Because Griffin, he's one concussion 162 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: away from who knows what, you know, CJ. Fedorowitz. You know, 163 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: before the last one he was still playing and now 164 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: he's not anymore. So I'm not saying that's what's gonna 165 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: happen with Griffin, but you always wonder with those things 166 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: because he's had a few. And then you look at 167 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: Steven Anderson, who's not that kind of tight end. He's 168 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: a receiving tight end, and you know Griffin's the multiple threat. 169 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: So you had to find a way to get more 170 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: guys in there. And I know that we've talked about 171 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: some of the other guys like Michael Pruitt who might 172 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: be interesting. I don't know if they make the team 173 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: or if they factor in, but they'll be around during 174 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: the Greenbrier days and we'll see how they play out. Yeah, 175 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: no question. I think I think the tight end after 176 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: CJ retired, which I hate to even say, but after 177 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: SHEJ retired, it became definitely a position in need. I 178 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: don't think there was any question about that, and they 179 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: went out and fortified that with the draft and then 180 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: obviously bringing a guy like Matt Lengele. Having guys on 181 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: hand like Michael Prudis, you talked about Giovanni Robinson. He's 182 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting guys. I think at the Green 183 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: Bar that's gonna be a really fun position to watch 184 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: in the training camp battles at the Greenbrier because when 185 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: you think about it from a number standpoint, I think 186 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: it becomes very interesting at running back and tight end 187 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: because if you keep three tight ends, let's say you 188 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: keep three tight ends, then either one or two things happens. 189 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: Number One, you don't keep one of the rookies. Number two, 190 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: you don't keep Ryan Griffin or Steven Anderson. Yeah, so 191 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: do you end up keeping four tight ends? That's interesting. Well, 192 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: special teams will come into play for sure. Yeah, I 193 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: mean I don't think there's any question with that. But 194 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: and you've always said this, You're gonna have injuries somewhere. 195 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: You hope you don't have it like you did last year, 196 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: where it just felt like every receiver was going down 197 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: on a basis, And you don't want that to happen, 198 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: especially with a couple of young guys that have got 199 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: some promise in Aikins and Jordan Thomas a tight end. 200 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: But that could even things out a little bit. But 201 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: I think tity end's gonna be a monster of a position. 202 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: It really will be. And what you just said speaks 203 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: volumes of the overall situation because you assume in a 204 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: way that Griffin and Anderson are going to make the team, 205 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: both of them. Obviously, Griffin and Anderson just just shows 206 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: so much promise as a receiver that he's got to 207 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: be around. Right. Yet, when you look at the total 208 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: picture here, it's like you have to keep four because 209 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: you want to keep those draft choices, and then some 210 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: of the other guys might make it really complicated for 211 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: you in a luxury sort of way. But then you 212 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: look at the receivers and are you gonna keep five 213 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: or six? And again, special teams do come into play here, 214 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: but man receivers, what a position of battle that's gonna be. 215 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: D Andrew White. We raved about him for a couple 216 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: of days during camp last year. He's going to camp 217 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: with them this year, you know, and we'll see how 218 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: he plays out. Ellington obviously has got some not pelts. 219 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't use the Lopez word of pelts, but he's 220 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: done some things and he's done some things for this team, 221 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: so you know he'll definitely be around. Yeah, the to 222 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: me trying to figure out and I've sat down with 223 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: this not recently, but but I will again after the 224 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: off season. Kind of heading into the Green Brier. I 225 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: always come up with what I think the fifty three 226 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: will be the very first day at the Greenbriar and 227 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: see how close I end up getting. This kind of 228 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: a internal competition just to see how close I can 229 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: get with what I've seen from the off season, etc. 230 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: But I think that's gonna be as not problematic, it's 231 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: gonna be as difficult as ever with wide receiver, tight 232 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: end and running back trying to figure out And there 233 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: in lies the one of the issues, like do you 234 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: know that deantay Foreman. If deantay Foreman is going to 235 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: end up starting the year on pop, we don't know that. 236 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: But if he does, okay, well, that should open up position. 237 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: Where does Tyler Irvin fit into everything? Alfred blue side 238 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: of one year contract and there were times last year 239 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: at the end of the year where he ran the 240 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: ball very well for you, and you know he gives 241 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: you something on special teams. You know, where does he 242 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: fit into all this as well? I don't know that 243 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: there are any I don't know that there are any 244 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: absolutes in the tight end, wide receiver, tight end, wide receiver, 245 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: running back realm. I don't think there's any absolutes other 246 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: than you know DeAndre Hopkins, you know that for a fact, 247 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: and Will Fuller if healthy, you'd know that. And you 248 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: gotta feel like Lamar Miller is gonna be around given 249 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: what you don't know about DeAndre for But but really 250 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: truly absolutes. You know about DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. 251 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: Other than that, you have no idea what's really going 252 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: to happen with the rest of those positions. You'd like 253 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: to think he Keqt is gonna be around, I think 254 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: and healthy Ryan Griffin, there's no question. I think so too. 255 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: I think so too. But like you said, he could 256 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: be healthy for he could be healthy for six weeks 257 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Yeah, because look what 258 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: happened in Week two last year, right, you know, if 259 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: that same scenario goes down, he might be done for 260 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: the year. Who knows, might be on IR or then 261 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: some so exactly. I mean, you'd hate to see that 262 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: kind of thing, but this is the reality of the 263 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: National Football League, Lamar Miller. I just think it's too 264 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: reliable not be around. But yeah, we gotta see the 265 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: form and come back and see what he does here. 266 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: It's gonna be so much fun to watch take shape. 267 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, we haven't we haven't even talked about the 268 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: offensive line yet. But as I've been on my travels, 269 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: I get a lot of questions and I wrote about 270 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: this this week. They've all been about injuries. You know, 271 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: everything's about how's this guy looking. Is he going to 272 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: be available? How's that guy looking? And that's the reality. 273 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: When you play seventy eight players like you did last year, 274 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: you have injuries being the top topic on this football team, 275 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: and if you have relative health, you're a contender. If 276 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: you don't, you might be four and twelve again. And 277 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: that's just it. I think that's that's what I don't 278 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: want to say, that's what the NFL has become. Maybe 279 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: last year ends up being an anomaly when we look back, 280 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: but you think about all the teams that lost big 281 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: players last year. I mean, it wasn't it wasn't just 282 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: the Texans. But because of the statue that Watson gained 283 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: throughout his rookie year, we all know about what those 284 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: two in particular ones everybody points to. I throw Whitney 285 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: in there at their level because I thought Whitney was 286 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: that it is that valuable to the pass rush. But 287 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham junior with the Giants, I mean, he's as 288 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: big as it gets in the game. He was gone. 289 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill was gone for what a second year, it seemed. 290 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: With the Miami Dolphins. There were big names across the board. 291 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: It just seemed like maybe it was one of those years, 292 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: and hopefully it doesn't become that across the league. You know, 293 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: Carson wentz at the end of the year, but at 294 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: least you got to see fourteen games or thirteen fourteen 295 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: games when Carson wentz before he went down. So hopefully 296 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: that's not the case, because I think, especially for this squad, 297 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: everybody healthy, everybody going in the right direction. This chant, 298 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: this team has an opportunity to do something, but injuries 299 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: even it all out. And I think the injuries will 300 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: tell you, Like with jacksonvill last year, how many times 301 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: we talked about that, they didn't have any injuries, especially 302 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. None, none at all. 303 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: And it allowed that group, as good as it was, 304 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: to play together all year long, and they got better 305 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: every single week, got better and should have been playing 306 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: a supercow. I can't believe, as you said that shot 307 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: Mars should have been playing in the Super Bowl last year. Yeah, 308 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: that's another thing. Came up to Sporting get kneel downs 309 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: with fifty five seconds to go in the first half. Oh, 310 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: I've thought about that. I heard I heard the guys 311 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: in NFL radio talking about that. A couple of days 312 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: ago about the kneel downs and how little trust Oh 313 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: no, no no, it's Paul. Paul's talking about Paul Gallon was 314 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: talking about it, how a little trust you must have 315 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: in a quarterback to just take the knee at that point. 316 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: And I get it, Jackson's the defensive team. I think 317 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: they were getting the ball to start the second half. 318 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter though, but man, you gotta get You say 319 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: it all the time, go get as many points as possible. Well, 320 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: when I adopted death from Andre because he's the one 321 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: who says you can't score too many points in the 322 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: or enough points in the first half, or too many 323 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: points however he words it. But here's my thing. At 324 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: the end of the first half, if you take a knee, 325 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: it's one thing. If you're on your own ten yard line. 326 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: You know you got ninety to go, and you got 327 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: like twenty seconds and all right, this is gonna be 328 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: really tough. But in their situation, you know you're not 329 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: deep in your own territory. You're still in your own territory. 330 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: We get fifty five seconds to go. Are you gonna 331 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: want those snaps at the end of the game. Are 332 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: you gonna regret not having Are you gonna want those 333 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: guys you always want to back. I mean, if you 334 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: win going away in the second half, fine, you were right, 335 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: But why not just handoff? Why not just you know, 336 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: Seth was saying this morning, why not just throw it 337 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: deep because at least if it's a pick, they're gonna 338 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: be deep in their territory in all likelihood. I don't 339 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: know about that, but my point is this, do something 340 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: that has the chance to do something. Don't just do 341 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: nothing where you're just folding the tent at that particular point. 342 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: Remember what the Niners did. What they do at the 343 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: end of the first half. We missed a field goal? 344 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and they handed the ball to Carlos Hide 345 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: and he popped to the outside and got about a 346 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: thirty yard run. All a sudden, they were like, all right, 347 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: let's go, let's get in a two minute. If Hide 348 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: gets tackled for no gain or two yard gain or 349 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: whatever it is, they probably are right, let's run it 350 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: maybe one more time. But they popped high and they're like, okay, 351 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: let's getting two minute. Mode kicked the field goal right 352 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: for the half is a six point swing. Okay. I 353 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: got a bone to pick with Johnny who had a 354 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: bone to pick with me about my top players of 355 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: all time for this franchise. We'll do that and some 356 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: other stuff as well as Texans All Access continues. Let's continue. 357 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: It's the program keeping you up to date with your 358 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Here from the Hunday Texans Radio studio. Mark 359 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: Vanderman with you on Texans All Access with John Harris 360 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: and I think it was a couple of weeks ago. 361 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: Now I did my show on the top ten plays 362 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise, and that's gonna be 363 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: out on podcast. And Johnny and Drew did a show 364 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: this week complaining about some of my selections. So what 365 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: were your complaints? Okay, number one, let's start with right 366 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: at the top. Okay, number one. We well, first of all, 367 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: I was my biggest complaint was that you did the 368 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: show without without me, because I love going back over 369 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: the history, especially from two thousand and seven and before that, 370 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: because two thousand sevens when I started coming to a team, 371 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: when I got back here. But I my two biggest qualms. 372 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: Number one, what pick six against Cincinnati to me is 373 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: just that's the all time. That's the all timer to 374 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: me because it's in a playoff game. It's in the 375 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: first playoff game here. It's a playoff game that was 376 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: not going the Texans direction. The Bengals played extremely well 377 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: in that first half up to that point. It was 378 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: ten ten, right, and it just didn't. It just didn't. 379 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: It didn't feel good, No, it didn't. It didn't feel good, 380 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: feel like it was gonna happen. Well, it didn't feel 381 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: as good as it could have, rights as good as 382 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: it should have. Probably it was uncomfortable. Yeah, it's uncomfortable. 383 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: You know, they were down. I think it was seven nothing, 384 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: maybe even ten nothing. I think. So I have uh, 385 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: sciatica problems a lot of times, and when I sit down, 386 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: there'll be sometimes where I'll just have to kind of 387 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: squirm and I'm like, gosh, I can't get comfortable. That's 388 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: kind of the way I felt that first half. Right. 389 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: Then JJ gets to pick and it turns that game. 390 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: But then it also becomes this pivot point for the 391 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: greatest defensive player in the planet. He goes from being 392 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: a somewhat anonymous unknown he makes that play on national 393 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: TV in the first playoff game in that day, he 394 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: becomes the jj Wat that we all know him to 395 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: be plus it was in a playoff game, I would 396 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: have put that number one. I understand. I understood completely 397 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: the Walter catch. I probably put it two or three. Okay, 398 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: So that was the That was one. Number two. The 399 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: one game to me that you always you wanted to 400 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: win was where at Indie You had nothing on there, 401 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: Brandon Jalen Strong. Yeah, I know, But here's the here's 402 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: my problem that and that that play took the lead, right, 403 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: that was the lead getter in that game. Yeah, yes, 404 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: so so I could have put that in there. It 405 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: wasn't that sensational a play. It was a good call though. 406 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: It was a great call, great job calling. Oh no, 407 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: I mean it was a great call by Bill O'Brien. 408 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: You know, it was a good call by you two. 409 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: Well it was um, it was fun. I mean I 410 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: can't deny it that that game will be definitely one 411 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: of my greatest games. Yes, okay, But as far as 412 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: any particular play in that game, I couldn't put it 413 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: in the top ten. I don't know. I just felt 414 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: like it didn't fit the criteria that my personal criteria 415 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: xact top ten list. That was. But but to me, 416 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: the thing about it is the first of all, who 417 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: it is the fact that it's Brandon It's at the Colts. Yeah, 418 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: it's Brandon Weedon right, who at that point it had 419 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: been with the team. I think about four weeks, your 420 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: fourth quarterback of the year. It's ja England Strong, who 421 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: had been a Cults killer all year long. And if 422 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: you think about the Weeding to Strong connection, it got them. 423 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: It basically stole them a field goal at the end 424 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: of the half because Jalen made a catch on the 425 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: sidelines that they had to review because it was under 426 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: two minutes, and they ended up being able to kick 427 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: a fuel goal at the end of the half, which 428 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: essentially stealing three points. And then that drives a ninety 429 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: yard drive. It's basically weeding to Hopkins, weeding to Hopkins, 430 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: a couple of blue runs, and then they run this 431 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: play that they haven't run. I don't think all year long. 432 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: We're Strong comes one way, he goes back, he makes 433 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: the kick. There's there's so much And maybe it's because 434 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: I remember that play because that basically that play ended 435 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: up in my lap right over there on the sidelines. 436 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: What are you kicking out? Kick out a play? You 437 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: gotta kick one out you can't be like Dick fight talent. 438 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: I have eighty teams making the NCAA tournament. Here, you 439 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: know you gotta kick out one of my top ten. 440 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: And did you agree with my number ten overall play? 441 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: And I was talking about this with mcclan last night 442 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: of Watson running the ball for half a field against Cincinnati. Yeah, see, 443 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: that's that's the one. To me, I might I might 444 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: have put a little bit higher, and of course said higher. 445 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: Maybe that's biased. But when we look back at the 446 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,479 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson's career, if you think about that Cincinnati game, 447 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: and this is one of the things about that game. 448 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: And I don't know that he'll ever tell you this. 449 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: I got this sense watching him, and we talked about 450 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: this during breaks to three of us. We don't I 451 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: wasn't panicked about it, but you could tell that the 452 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: rush was getting to the sean like it was. It 453 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 1: was frustrating him a little bit. Just got hit by 454 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: Geno Atkins. He had gotten hit by Gino Atkins two 455 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: plays prior to that, but also before that, remember he 456 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: almost drew two picks. He almost drew two picks sixes 457 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: And I could see him on the field kind of 458 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: looking at the rush. He wasn't feeling it like he 459 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: did once he got comfortable back there in the fourth quarter. 460 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: That's really when it started. But he was really not 461 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: feeling the rush. He was kind of looking at the rush. 462 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: He was a little bit frantic, and so I got 463 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: I was and then he had two near picks. I 464 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: was like, oh, man, if you remember they scored early 465 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: in that game with the clowney fumal return when Kareem 466 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: it was a field goal, right, it was a field goal, 467 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: and so they didn't do much of that drive. So 468 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: when he has that play, it's kind of like it 469 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: like all of this opens up, Like wait a second, 470 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: we got a quarterback that can do this. Yeah, it 471 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: changed everything. It changed everything. And so to me, I 472 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: might have put it a little bit. I might have 473 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: put it a little bit higher on the list. I 474 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: said to McLean, had said, that's the signature play of 475 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: his first year. That's the one will remember, even though 476 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: he turns into this wizard of a passer in the 477 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: upcoming games and throws nineteen touchdown passes. It's just amazing 478 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: to me how that's the one that'll be remembered because 479 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: that was a win, all right, they won three times 480 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: with him under center. That was a win and that 481 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: was the play that changed everything around, and it was 482 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: a night where you had to have it. No one 483 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: knew the season was going to spiral out of control, 484 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: kind of like Andrey Johnson's fourth and ten play against 485 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: Why Washington they went two and oh. At the time, 486 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: no one knew that season was going to spiral out 487 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: of control, and at the time was utterly huge. So 488 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: to me, this is the same kind of thing. I'll 489 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: tell you which one I would take out. Okay, is 490 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: a fuel goal. And I don't mean this as a 491 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: knock on any of the field goal kickers, but oh 492 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: yes you do. But it's a gets a fuel goal, 493 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, but it's a field goal. And look, 494 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: I understand. I mean you had Chris Brown's fuel goal 495 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: against Indianapolis, which it's a moment, right, And that's one 496 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: that I struggle with a little bit because that wasn't here. 497 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: I wasn't here, so I remember hearing about it from Afar, like, 498 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: oh man, they beat the Colts and then the Colts 499 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: gonna win a championship. And I remember thinking as I 500 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: was moving here in two thousand and seven, it's still 501 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: in seventeen, might be that bad. That beat the Colts. 502 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: The Colts won a championship. You know, that was fine. 503 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: It was kind of my thought. But I would have 504 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: a hard time just putting a putting a fuel goal 505 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: on there, especially one indoors. You know, if Kayimie knocks 506 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: one home, say we go to Denver and it's a 507 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: freak snowstorm and he hits like a Vinte Harry type 508 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: field goal, yeah, then I would be like, okay, I 509 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: could put that on there. Yeah, I know it was 510 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: a degree of difficulty. Wasn't crazy. He was like forty 511 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: two yards or something like that. But that's not a 512 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: chip shot, No, I can't. In fact didn't. Randy Bullock 513 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: miss one of that end then won the Texans an 514 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: AFC South Championship a few years later did and he 515 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: missed it off a field turf, whereas Chris was kicking 516 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: off the grass the grass at the time. So it's 517 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: a little bit different now, you know what just I 518 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: just dont on me is they both happened on Christmas Eve. 519 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: They both happened on Christmas Eve. Chris Brown hit that 520 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: on the same Endzuck missed on Christmas Eve how about that. 521 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: That is wonderful and Andre in the call, I played 522 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: utterly confident he's gonna make it. You know, he's dancing 523 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: around in the booth and they're playing Prince Oh no, 524 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: let's go and he said, that's what we're gonna be. 525 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna be singing, dance and let's go crazy when 526 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: Chris Brown hits this field goal. And he hits it, 527 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: so he was utterly confident Brown was gonna make it. 528 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: I never tempt fate with kickers, but a lot of 529 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: people were convinced Randy Bullock was gonna miss his Christmas 530 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: Eve twenty seventeen. I said a few years later, it's 531 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: eleven years later that, oh my gosh, eleven years later 532 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: that Bullock misses his in that same end, Yeah, the 533 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: thing with Bullock in the back of my mind, I 534 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: could I remember playing it out in my mind at 535 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: the time, thinking if he misses this, will all say 536 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: that we sort of sought coming, knowing Randy Bullock's history. 537 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 1: And then I convinced myself, no, no, he's making this. 538 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is like the ultimate revenge in set. Yes, 539 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: And he made a clutch kick to start his Texans career. 540 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: At the end of a UNDERD football game in San Diego, 541 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: So that would be the one I would take out. 542 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: I would put at number nine. I would put Weeding 543 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: too strong touchdown at Indie to beat Indie the first 544 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: time ever. Okay, but to me Brown's field goal at 545 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: the end of that game, because I set it up 546 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: pretty well. I think during the show I set it 547 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: up pretty well because you mentioned it that was the 548 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: first time you beat them ever. Yeah, you'd lost nine 549 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: in a row to them to start the series. Nine 550 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: in a row. I'm just Manning turned the Texans into 551 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: his personal little sparring partner, Okay, especially up there, Like 552 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: I can't describe to you, like the horror and misery 553 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: of going to the RCA Dome, not Lucas will Stadi 554 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: of the RCA Dome, that bandbox so loud, that carpet 555 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Freenyan matthis. I swear we're jumping every snap, But you'll 556 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: never prove that. It just felt like that, and it 557 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: was just a cult's track meet against the Texans. Every 558 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: time you were up there. It was impossible to hang 559 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: with them up there. They hung with them here in 560 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 1: the early years. They kind of did you know, they 561 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: they did some things against them, but they finally beat 562 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: him that day with Ron Day's one hundred and fifty 563 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: two yards two touchdowns, and David Carr made one good. 564 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you might have made a few throws in 565 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: that game, but he threw the ball to Andre Johnson 566 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: to set up that field goal to win it. So 567 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I'll stand by that one. But I get what you're saying. 568 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: It's a field goal. It wasn't like a fifty seven. 569 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: Brown actually had a fifty seven yard or to win 570 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: a game against the Miami Dolphins and oh seven, Yeah, 571 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: and set an NFL record in that game with three 572 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: field goals three for three from fifty four or more 573 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: fifty four, fifty four and fifty seven for the game 574 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: winner as time expired against Miami, which was really a 575 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: phenomenal performance for a kicker, considering the offense was doing 576 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: nothing that day. Here's the only other one that I 577 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: can I would have considered, and I considered it because, well, 578 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: you do have some defensive player. You have some defensive players, 579 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: but they're mainly you agree with me on my watt 580 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: play being in there. The only play that's in there 581 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: from a loss, Oh, that play is the I've said 582 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: this to people that have asked me. And it's funny 583 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: because yesterday I was because all the construction, I was 584 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: up on the first level and it was it was 585 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: just stone quiet, and I thought, man, when was the 586 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: loudest everyone. I was like, oh yeah, JJ's fumble recovery 587 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: against the Colts the loudest I've ever heard my my head, 588 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: my head was pounding because I had you guys in 589 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 1: my ears and I had to crowd. It was insane. 590 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: It was insane. The only other play I would have 591 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: thought about that I did think about was the very 592 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: next year in Indianapolis, the Clowney strip sack on the luck. 593 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: That was huge. That that was the other one, because 594 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: to me, that was the play of twenty sixteen. I thought, 595 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, if it's a play of the year and 596 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,479 Speaker 1: a team that's been around for fifteen years, nothing nothing, 597 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's that's. I thought about that one 598 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: as well, because you got Clowney and Merciless, the two 599 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: guys that are really we'll talk about that play. Yeah, 600 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that play forever. So I would have 601 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: I thought about that one. So Weedon is strong, those 602 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: two cults wins and I thought, you know, it's funny 603 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: because Drew and I were talking about you doing this list, 604 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about the wins that you remember, and 605 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: obviously you remember the win against the Colts for the 606 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: first time. I mean, that's gonna be pretty cool Christmas, 607 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: even all that we experienced that against the Bengals. But 608 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: at Indie, you walked out of the booth, you were 609 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: dancing a jig. You were that happy. And why did 610 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: it happen? Happened because of Brandon Weeden to Jalen Strong 611 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: and the most improbable fashion and also in that year, 612 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: everything that led up to that year. I mean, you 613 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: think about starting with hard knocks and training camp and 614 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: then the Mallet Hoyer stuff, starting off two and five, 615 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: getting blasted by Atlanta and Miami, and I remember Obi 616 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: coming in here after the Miami game and doing his 617 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: show with us, and it was just like, we'll get 618 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: this thing turn right. I mean he was it was 619 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: he was down because they had not played well, but 620 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: he had this I don't know, there's something about it. 621 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: I think he knew he had better players, yeah, than 622 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: what the results were showing. And the next week it 623 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: was they hammered Tennessee bye week and then went to Cincinnati's. 624 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: Well that's why I put the Hopkins one on. And 625 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: I know that you're gonna do a show at some 626 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: point of that game. Just highlight that game, that game 627 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: and that play because that's one of the that's one 628 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: of the biggest wins. I mean, that was, you know, 629 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: beating an eight no team in their place in primetime 630 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: when you had no chance to win my Monday night football. 631 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: The world had written you off, and you go ahead 632 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: and win the game, and Yates to Hopkins was just 633 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: that was one of the most thrilling moments of my 634 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: Texans career. If you can go back and call one 635 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: beginning to end, you can go back and call one game, 636 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: what would That's a great that's a great question. I would. 637 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: I would pick the twenty eleven game at Cincinnati, Yeah, 638 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: I would. I would love to call that one again. 639 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: I'd love for you to call and me to be 640 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: with you. Yates as a rookie throwing for three hundred 641 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: yards and the scramble on third and fifteen, I mean, 642 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: oh my god. You know what's funny we talking you 643 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: talk about the Watson play when it was it was 644 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: third and fifteen and when he takes off and gets 645 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: the first down, and I like, he's right by me 646 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: and he gets the first down. My first thought was, oh, TJ, 647 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: Like I thought about TJ. Yeah, as he's getting the 648 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: first down, and then he doesn't stop running him like listen, TJ. 649 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: It kept going and then he scores him like tity. Second, 650 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: he just scored its third fifteen, He just score. I 651 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: mean it was. It was that sort of feeling. But 652 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: I would like to go back and call that game 653 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: with you.

Yes, please, let's do it. We can't 656 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: do it until the DeLorean is invented by Doc to 657 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: take us back there. All right. Next up, let's go 658 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: around the league a bit. Let's go around the AFC 659 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: South a bit. I threw out an X factor thing 660 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: this morning. I want to get Johnny's take on it. 661 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Great to have you listening tonight. I'm 662 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: Texans All Access here from the Hunday Texans Radio studio. 663 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: Mark Vanderma and John Harris with you now. Johnny, we 664 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: have a lot of things going on around the AFC 665 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: South teams getting ready, players getting ready, working out, doing 666 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: whatever they're doing. This morning on sports Radio six tens 667 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: mad Radio as it is called, I threw out who's 668 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: the biggest X factor in the AFC South. You know, 669 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: everybody had this different kind of take on what that 670 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: he actually means, So it sort of turned into a 671 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: debate on what that actually means. But I mean to me, 672 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: it might be Andrew Luck because his availability is going 673 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: to mean so much for their fortunes. And I threw 674 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: this out there. Even if they win six seven, eight games, 675 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna take down an AFC sound team or two 676 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: along the way if they do that well. And I 677 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: would expect them to do that well, at least that 678 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: well if Andrew Luck is healthy, I don't care who 679 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: else is on the roster, they're gonna win six seven games. 680 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that I would I don't know what 681 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: I would label Luck and X factor. I feel like 682 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: an X factor is probably something a little bit unexpected, Yeah, 683 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: a little bit unexpected or something you would think about. 684 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: I think I think Luck and Watson's health in particular 685 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: are for you know, they're right there in the forefront 686 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: to me an X factor in this division. Like when 687 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: you said X factor, the first person I thought of 688 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: was Jannick and Gockway. Wow, because with jackson it was 689 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: the first person I thought of. Because when I think, 690 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: when I think of Jacksonville, how dominant Jacksonville is. I 691 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: think in Gockway ends up being sort of a focal 692 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: point for Jacksonville going forward for a number of reasons. 693 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: First of all, if he has another tremendous season, that 694 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: defense is going to be nasty again. But I think 695 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: in Gockway gives that defense a little something different than 696 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: any other defense in the division. He is a nasty 697 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: speed off the edge. He's like Whitney. Now He's not 698 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: as skilled as Whitney, but I think he's got a 699 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: little bit more oomp and juice putting his hand down. 700 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: As a fourth three defensive end, Whitney's asked to do 701 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more, and Gockway is always going forward. 702 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: Whitney sometimes is going back in coverage, but in Gockway 703 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: providing that for Jacksonville staying healthy. He was judged by 704 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: the players we want of the top one hundred players 705 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,959 Speaker 1: in the league. And the other aspect of it is 706 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: it's now his I think this is his third year 707 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: so he's due to get paid large. And if he 708 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: does get paid large, then what do you do with 709 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: Lee Jackson? What do you then? How long can Clays 710 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: Campbell play? And then what do you do more importantly 711 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: with Dante Fowler? Because the Jaguars did not exercise the 712 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: fifth year option on Dante Fowler. So if you now 713 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: have to pay in goqway a ton of money, can 714 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: you bring any of those guys back? So I think 715 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: for two reasons, and Goquay ends up being a really 716 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: key figure I think in the AFC South X factor. 717 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if that's the right way 718 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: of saying it. I mean I think if you if 719 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 1: you took health of key players Luck and Watson returning 720 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: and put on a shelf and said, okay, those are 721 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: just kind of those are keys, and like there's no 722 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: questioning those kind of went beyond that the first thing 723 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: when you said X factory and gotway popped out for 724 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: those reasons, because I've been thinking about that, like who 725 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: is a player or who's a unit? What's a unit 726 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: in this division that has kind of X factors? Status 727 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: in Goquay is a big one. He's the guy that 728 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: scares me more than anybody on Jackson held be a 729 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: household name NFL version of a household name this year. 730 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: I think because he's not exactly a super well known player. 731 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you follow the league closely, 732 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: I know who he is, but it's not like, uh, 733 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's JJ Watt or something like that, right exactly. 734 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: And I think he could because of the way he 735 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: can rush the quarterback. He could be on par with 736 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: a guy like Chandler Jones. He could be that kind 737 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: of We're telling twelve sacks last year, eight sacks the 738 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: year before, twenty sacks and two seasons. That's a heck 739 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: of a start for him. And he saw in the 740 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: year three and he's ready to take that big leap 741 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: as far as recognition, but also recognition from opposing offenses. 742 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: You know, they've known about him, there's no question, Yeah, 743 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: after his rookie year even But it's a good one, 744 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: all right. Biggest X factor on the Texans not named 745 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, all right, If Watson's not an X factor, 746 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: I've got one for you, Diante format because if formant, 747 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: he's got all that talent. We saw what he was 748 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: developing into as the year went along, until he got hurt. 749 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 1: If he can get back to where he was, Oh 750 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: my gosh, what he would mean for this football team. 751 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: Look at the plays he may against the Patriots, the 752 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: plays he made down the line. You could see them 753 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: using him a whole lot more. Oh my gosh. The 754 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: defense has to work watch out for him on every 755 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: single snap that he's out there. You've got respect him, 756 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: you got to fear him, maybe in the respect sense, 757 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: fear slash respect, kind of like the way the Bible 758 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: uses it. You get my drift, Yeah, absolutely, And I 759 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: think you're I think you're dead on. That's that's a 760 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: great one because he can change so much of what 761 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: you do offensively. I think another I think an X 762 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,959 Speaker 1: factor see to me offensive lines. I'm really next factor. 763 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: That's just that. I mean, that's a that's a massive key, 764 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: I think. And Brian Gaine talked about this, which is 765 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: interesting because I was trying to figure out the right 766 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: way of saying this. But the inside passing game for 767 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: the Texans, the players that play inside, so that can 768 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: be some tight ends that can be the slot guys. 769 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: So it's Kiki Qt, it's Bruce Ellington, it's Braxton Miller, 770 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: and then it's all the tight ends, the guys that 771 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: are going to catch the ball inside in the middle 772 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: of the field, so to speak. Those guys, I think 773 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: have got somebody's got to step up and be like 774 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: CJ was a few years ago, and then some You 775 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: would hope if it's one of the slot guys that 776 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: can create after the catch, but if it ends up 777 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: being a tight end, you know, that's the guy that's 778 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 1: got to catch fifty balls. You know, Ryan's got to 779 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 1: get back to catching fifty balls or they've got to 780 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: catch seventy between two different guys. I think the inside 781 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: passing game is definitely an X factor. How about the 782 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: rest of the division? How about I got a good 783 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: one for the Colts. I've been thinking about this for 784 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: a while and it goes back to it goes back 785 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 1: to injury in some sense. But with them Malie Cooker 786 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: at safety. We did not see Malie Cooker at safe. 787 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: He played about I think seven or eight games and 788 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: then before our game he ended up tearing his ACL. 789 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: He is a ball hawk in the middle of the field. 790 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of young players in the defense. 791 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: They're gonna try and make that a young defense. That 792 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: it all grows together, and I like the philosophy. I 793 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: don't know if they got the right players, but I 794 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: like the philosophy of it. But I think Hooker ends 795 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: up being the key and Ed Reid type with instincts 796 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: that can play in the middle of the field, that 797 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: can control things on defense. Because when you think about 798 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: the Colts defense, and you said it a little while ago, 799 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about Freenie and Mathis, they had players like 800 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: Freeny and Mathis and Bob Standers. They had name guys 801 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: that you were you were used to hearing. Now you 802 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: think about the Colts defense and you're like, I really 803 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: don't know anybody, Yeah, but I know him and he 804 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: and that dude can play, right, I think he ends 805 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: up being I think he ends up being a big factor. 806 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: Freeny and Mathis was so good they would get leads 807 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: and then those guys would no tee off on teams 808 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: that had the throws awful. Anyway, how about for the Titans. 809 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 1: How about this one. And I'm not saying he's going 810 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: to do it, but he could be this Corey Davis. Yes, absolutely, 811 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: when you look at year two, Let's see if he 812 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: can develop become the receiver that they dreamed about when 813 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: they drafted him and Mariota. I was talking about him 814 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: this morning. What if he takes a big leap, or 815 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: at least a substantial leap, that could be very frightening 816 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: for the rest of the division because they do have 817 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 1: a lot of talent, which for that reason, I'm glad 818 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: we're catching him week two. Yeah, because when I think 819 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: about when I think about guys that have made that transition, 820 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: like Jared Goff last year. Goff was a guy that 821 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: made that transition, and Matt Lafleur was the offensive coordinator 822 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: with the Rams, he'd called plays when he's offensive coordinator, 823 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: so he helped with Goff. But Goff really didn't become 824 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: the Jared Goff we expected until really, you know, week three, 825 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: week four, it was that Dallas game where he had 826 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,720 Speaker 1: a great game at Dallas and then kind of stayed 827 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: at that level the rest of the year. So maybe 828 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: catching them early on. I got one for the Titans, 829 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: Rashaan Evans, rookie linebacker. With Avery Williamson gone, they still 830 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: got Wesley Woodyard. I think they're gonna ask a lot 831 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: of Rashaun Evans in the middle, and I don't think 832 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: that Tennessee is overly talented defensively. I really don't even 833 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: Adam Malcolm Butler and Logan Ryan the last couple of years. 834 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't think they're overly talented. I think Kevin Bayer's 835 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: very good at safety. I think they are safeties that 836 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: are better. But I really liked Buyer to come out 837 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: of college. He's kind of lived up to that, a 838 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: good solid player. But they don't really have anybody up 839 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: in the front seven where other than Casey. You look 840 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: at Casey and okay, he's he's he's a threat, but 841 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: they don't really you know, with Willie Woodyard and Williamson, 842 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: they made plays based on Dick Lebo's scheme like he would. 843 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: Lebo would scheme them up to get them free. But 844 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: Williamson was I thought a better player than Woodyard. Well, 845 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: how do you think Dean pas Is gonna do it? Well, 846 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: that's that's the interesting part of this is now Peace 847 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: comes in and obviously rabels there, So now you're gonna 848 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: have more of a New England influence there. So to me, 849 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: Rashaan Evans becomes I think Tennessee's Dante High Tower. I 850 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: think High Tower now bigger than Evans, but Evans was 851 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: used a lot the same way to Alabama. Evans will 852 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: rush from the outside a little bit, He'll play inside 853 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,280 Speaker 1: on first and second down. There a lot of different 854 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,879 Speaker 1: things they can do with Evans. Evans gives them an 855 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: athlete in the middle of that defense that becomes very, 856 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: very intriguing. He's a better athlete than Williamson. Obviously, he's 857 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: a rookie, so it's gonna take some time, but he 858 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 1: has to for the Titan's sake. He has to become 859 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: that guy. He has to become their Bernardrick McKinney. He 860 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: has to become that stud in the middle. He has 861 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: to become their Paul puzz Lusni or Miles Jack, if 862 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: you will. That's another one is Miles Jack. I think 863 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: Miles Jack is on the verge of being very, very scary. 864 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 1: You know the way that Jack's handled the Texans last year, 865 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 1: and I know Watson's coming back, and even with everybody back, 866 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: it's not like I feel like this is a walk 867 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: in the park exactly playing that team. I mean, that's 868 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: a heck of a football team, and you know they're 869 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: over there thinking, well, this is gonna be our year. 870 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get to the super Bowl. That's the 871 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: thought process, that's the mindset in Jacksonville right now. So 872 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, we could throw all the parties we want. 873 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: About everybody coming back, You're gonna have to deal with 874 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: them at some point. And it's not early because and 875 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: it's not like you have any kind of easy stretch 876 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: early opening at New England, then at Tennessee, then home 877 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: to the Giants, then at Indy. I mean, you're not 878 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: even gonna get to them in the first quarter of 879 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: the season. Week seven. This is gonna be very interesting. Yeah, 880 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: that's all I can say. It's gonna be so much 881 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: fun to watch unfold. Yeah, I mean, I think the division. 882 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: I said it last week with Drew or earlier this 883 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: week with Drew, I said, I think it's gonna be 884 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,720 Speaker 1: the best division in football. And I think for those reasons, 885 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot. I hate to say it, but 886 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: I think Luck does come back. I don't know how 887 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,280 Speaker 1: healthy he will be, but I think Deshaun Watson mercials 888 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: come back for the Texans. I think Jacksonville plays Jacksonville's 889 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: type of ball. I think Blake probably steps back a 890 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: little bit, but I don't think he's gonna regress like 891 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: he did in twenty six. Doesn't look like anybody's gonna 892 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,720 Speaker 1: run away with it. No, I think it gonna be close. 893 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be like DFC West. I think 894 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: teams are gonna knock each other off each and every week. 895 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: So that's why this this team has to come out 896 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: of the box early in Tennessee and in Tennessee and 897 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: Indy within the first four weeks. You you gotta take 898 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: care of those football games. You got the road with 899 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: both of them. You know, I'll say this, If I 900 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: give you a split in those two, will you take it? 901 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:54,439 Speaker 1: Right now? I think I would really think door number 902 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: two the unknown man. If you give me a split 903 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: and I win the other two, I'll take the split. 904 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: I think three and one of the first quarters, Thank 905 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 1: you very much. I'm done. I think it's very easy 906 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: to say, well, Texans are better than the Colts, and 907 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: they're better on paper than the than the Titans. But 908 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: you're on the roads. You're on the road. Yeah, So 909 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 1: to get to get a split, I'd take it. I 910 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 1: would take it because you get the three games at 911 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: home in the second half of the year, you get 912 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: those three in a row. At home, yeah, where you've 913 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 1: got to take advantage. You got the Browns and Titans 914 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: and I think the Colts, so you've got to be 915 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: able to take advantage of that. But on the road, 916 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 1: you come out of these first four and you get 917 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: a split with Tennessee in Indianapolis. Now you gotta beat 918 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: you gotta beat the Patriots to do it. I know, 919 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 1: but I'm guaranteeing you that. See, I can offer you're okay, Now, 920 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: wait a minute, I cannot offer you that. We have 921 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 1: to play the games. It's reality. Johnny texts a lot. 922 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: You gotta Mark, Thank you. That's it for the show. 923 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: We have fun talking football all year round. Have a 924 00:43:53,800 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: great weekend everyone, Thanks for listening, and go Texans.
