1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Just keep grind all right, We're getting better eats in 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: every day, running wrapped to the goal. 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 2: Line, fighting his way in as. 4 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 3: The Texans wrapped the lead. 5 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 4: That's gonna work maybe thanks to give has time throw 6 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 4: to the end zone. 7 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 2: Caught and it's a tuckdown. Love the energy wrapped up 8 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: for a long for. 9 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 3: The TfL inside the ten. 10 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: Texans have the ball on the pit. No, it's Texans 11 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: all excess. 12 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 5: Oh hello Texans. Yes, it is Mark Vandermaer and the 13 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 5: General John McClain with you. Johnny Harris will be along 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 5: in the second segment tonight and we'll go around the 15 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 5: league do some who's better. But General, I'm so glad 16 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 5: we have this time together. And I'm not going Carol 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 5: Burnett to give a very dated reference, but I might 18 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 5: sing on the way out. 19 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 3: You never know. 20 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 5: As we have Texans Jags on Sunday at noon on 21 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 5: the road in the division. The Texans five and one 22 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 5: in AFC South Road games in twenty twenty one, in 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, don't ask me how it happened. It happened. 24 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 5: It's a fact. And the Texans have won five straight 25 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 5: at Jacksonville. We'll see if they can do it again. 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 5: Good evening, my friend, this is a big one. You 27 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 5: don't want to go on three. And the Jags, I 28 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 5: don't want to go. Oh they're so upset because they 29 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 5: lost to the Chiefs. But they are so upset because 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 5: they lost to the Chiefs who held them to nine points, 31 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 5: and the Jags held the Chiefs somehow to seventeen points. 32 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: How do you see the matchup? How are you doing? 33 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 6: I'm doing Gray Mark. First of all, Trevor Lawrence played 34 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 6: one of his worst games. He was off target, he 35 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 6: missed open receivers and I don't see him doing that 36 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 6: two games in a row. And we all know the 37 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 6: Texans injury problems have gotten worse. At corner. Derrick Stanley's out, 38 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 6: Tavier or Thomas is out, and fortunately looks like Jimmy 39 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 6: Wat's back at safety, Jalen Petrie is not. Texans need 40 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 6: to get a much better pass rush and play up 41 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 6: front so much better than they did against Indy because 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 6: the Colts just manned them. I haven't seen many games 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 6: where defense didn't have one tackle for loss and only 44 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 6: one hit on the quarterback. So they got to be 45 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 6: better up front to try to overcome the injuries on 46 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 6: the back end, and of course, I think the main 47 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 6: thing they need to do on offense, and I don't 48 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 6: expect them to run any better. They're the worst running 49 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 6: team in the league with two yards to carry, but 50 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 6: I think that's because of the offensive line. But when 51 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 6: they get in the red zone, CJ. Stroud has been 52 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 6: so good in these first two games with throwing accurately 53 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 6: and getting rid of the ball, even though he's been 54 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 6: hit nineteen times. I look for him to be better. 55 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 6: I think Bobby Sluck do a better job at play 56 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 6: calling in the red zone, and that is where they 57 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 6: need to prove the most because they can't accept field 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 6: goals when they're down there and expect to pull off 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 6: the upset. 60 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 5: Well, let's go with the back end here, because man 61 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 5: has that been blistered with injuries. Don't know when Petri's 62 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 5: coming back, hopefully sooner rather than later. I think it's 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 5: semi encouraging in this context that he's not on IR, 64 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 5: so that means, okay, maybe you can get back sometime soon. 65 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 5: Jimmy Ward was not on IR. He's back great, but 66 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 5: you're right, Tavira Thomas. Now Derek Stingley Junior won a 67 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 5: surprise for him to be out in week three. They 68 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 5: left to piece it together. I think he made a 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 5: good point though. Upfront is where the difference can be made. 70 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 5: But can they make the difference? 71 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: General? Are you with me that? 72 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 5: I just expect a much better effort up there, and 73 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 5: I know the Jags offensive line is not as good 74 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 5: as the Colts offensive line. The Jags people are saying 75 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 5: they couldn't block the Chiefs. I know the Texans are 76 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 5: not the Chiefs upfront, but they do have some assets 77 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 5: up there that I would expect to play a lot 78 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 5: better in Week three than they did in Week two. 79 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 6: Your thoughts, The defensive lineup saw in that first game 80 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 6: got pressure, They forced Lamar jacks and do a lot 81 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 6: of things he didn't want to do, and then it 82 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 6: started bad with Anthony Richardson too easy touchdown runs. I 83 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 6: look for them to bounce back and play better. The 84 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 6: Jaguars have issues in their offensive line after preparing for 85 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 6: two of the most mobile quarterbacks in NFL history. Now 86 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 6: Richardson's not there really, but we think he will be 87 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 6: and Lamar Jackson. They have a more of a pocket 88 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 6: passer Trevor Lawrence. He can roll right, roll left. You 89 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 6: know he's six ' six, you get to him, you 90 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 6: got to bring him down because he's big enough to 91 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 6: break some tackles and he's got a great arm. But 92 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 6: I think it starts up front. You know everybody's bemoaning 93 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 6: Trayvon Diggs out for the Cowboys. Well, they got a 94 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 6: great pass rush, they got a great front seven. The 95 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 6: Texans pass rush has got to improve over where it 96 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 6: was against the calls. 97 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about CJ. Stroud here for a moment. 98 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 5: John, You've covered a lot of quarterbacks in your days, 99 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 5: and I think it's a really great start. It's statistically 100 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 5: a really great start. It's not a winning start, but 101 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 5: he's the first one to tell you that. That's the 102 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 5: most important thing. I love the way he is at 103 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 5: the podium. I mean, my seventeen year old son was 104 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 5: sending me CJ. Stroud quotes because he's inspired by them. 105 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 5: I thought that was a positive sign if nothing else. 106 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 5: But the else is, oh my gosh, the completion number 107 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 5: is second all time since nineteen fifty for a rookie 108 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 5: in his first two games. That's highly notable. Win or lose, 109 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 5: whatever the case is, that's highly notable. What do you 110 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 5: make of him? So far and where it's going with CJ. 111 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: Stroud. 112 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 6: They don't want him throwing as much as he has man, 113 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 6: but you don't have any choice when your running game 114 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 6: is not working because of issues up front. It's six 115 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty six yards and most by a 116 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 6: rookie without an interception since the NFL AFL merger in 117 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 6: nineteen seventy. And I did a column this week about 118 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 6: him and the poise that he shows whether he's under 119 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 6: pressure taking a quick drop, and I'm just I'm blown 120 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 6: away by it and tell you the truth. And I 121 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 6: love listening to him talk because things that come out 122 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 6: of his mouth are makes so much sense and tell 123 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 6: you so much about him, and that's good. And so 124 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 6: I did a column about looking at Watson's first two 125 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 6: starts and his first two starts. But Watson, who got 126 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 6: to play a half as a warm up for his 127 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 6: first start against Cincinnati, attery played against Jacksonville, and he 128 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 6: took over a team that's coming off the second round 129 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 6: of playoffs, and they didn't want block Oswiler anymore, so 130 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 6: they traded him to Cleveland and where CJ is taking 131 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 6: over a team that's in another third year of Nick 132 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 6: Cassario's rebuild. And so even though Watson was one and one, 133 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 6: he had two touchdowns, two interceptions, and his rating was 134 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 6: sixty four nine and I'm sorry eighty four point four 135 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 6: where CJ ninety one point two, two touchdowns, no interceptions, 136 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 6: should have had a third touchdown, but a penalty on 137 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 6: Josh Jones killed it. So you know, Bobby Slowey doesn't 138 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 6: want to throw as much because you've been hit nineteen times. 139 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 6: He's on pace for ninety three sacks. But the fact 140 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 6: is him throwing the ball to Eco Collins, Tankdale and 141 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 6: Robert Woods is the best thing this team's got going 142 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 6: right now. It's been consistent and it's getting better. Yes, 143 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 6: they'd like to get Dalton schultzmore involved, but he's thrown 144 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 6: as many passes as he has with the Whiteouts playing 145 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 6: so well, especially Collins. You know, do you want to 146 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 6: start throwing at the tight end if you can get 147 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 6: the ball to Nco. I'm really interested Mark to see 148 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 6: what the Jaguars will do to take away the middle 149 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 6: of the field. Those quick slants to Collins in which 150 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 6: he breaks tackles. And remember he would have been guys, 151 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 6: what one seventy one eighty if not for a couple 152 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 6: of catches called back, but they're not going to just 153 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 6: set and let him work in the middle of the field. 154 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 6: And so I don't know if that means more attention 155 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 6: put on him and they'll go more to tank Dale. 156 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 6: Robert Woods has been very reliable, but Tank I think 157 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 6: his speed and his quickness dictates a lot of what 158 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 6: the coverage is. The problem is how much time was 159 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 6: strouded have to throw a second a half second? Do 160 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 6: we see one step drops because the Jaguars do have 161 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 6: a good brass rush. 162 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 5: All right, Well, let's talk about Nico Collins here for 163 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 5: a moment, John, because it seems like a revelation. And 164 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 5: you know, for those who say, well some of that 165 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 5: yardage garbage time, look, they were trying to force the 166 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 5: issue and they were about to cut into a one 167 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 5: score game, just couldn't do it. 168 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: What score game with plenty of time and. 169 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 5: Clock stoppages because two timeouts at a two minute warning 170 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 5: to do something about it and get the ball back 171 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 5: when the defense was started to heat up in the 172 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 5: second half. And we've had plenty of garbage time around 173 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 5: here in the last couple of years, but never saw 174 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 5: a yardage total like this, So let me get into 175 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 5: this about Nico. 176 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: It's year three. 177 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 5: How good can he be? Because if this is all 178 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 5: you ever saw of Nico Collins, you'd say, hey, wait 179 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 5: a minute, this guy looks amazing potentially if you could 180 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 5: do this over a longer term. I don't expect one 181 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 5: to fifty a game every game, but this looks really 182 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 5: promising as well, and the chemistry between them is special. 183 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 5: How good can Nico Collins be if he stays healthy? 184 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 6: Well, let me back up to then income boops or 185 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 6: trying to take shots at Stroud because he had garbage 186 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 6: time those on the last series. I went back and 187 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 6: watched it. I watched ever play multiple times when they 188 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 6: were on that drive that ended up with Fairbarn missing 189 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 6: a fifty one yard field goal when you're trying to 190 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 6: score a touchdown to put it and make it close 191 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 6: where you get an onside kick to have a chance 192 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 6: to win a game, and they were playing press coverage. 193 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 6: They weren't playing a prevent defense. So I think that's 194 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 6: ridiculous for people to try to That happens to every 195 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 6: team at the end of the game, where quarterbacks have 196 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 6: a chance to pad their stats. Even the best of 197 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 6: him have to do with that. As far as Nico's 198 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 6: seven catches one hundred and forty six yards, you know 199 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 6: he completed nine passes to nine players, so he spreads 200 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 6: the ball around. But Nico Collins in his third season, 201 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 6: it's got a chance to make a lot of money 202 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 6: because Nick Serio is shown with a contract, got a 203 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 6: year left. He'll extend people that deserve it. And if 204 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 6: Nico can stay healthy, We've known for a while what 205 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 6: he's capable of doing, but he hasn't been able to 206 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 6: stay healthy. And it's only two games. He has the 207 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 6: second most twenty plus catches in the NFL right now, 208 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 6: and a lot of that's him, but a lot of 209 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 6: his stroud planning. That back foot ball comes firing out, 210 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 6: it's strown full in full stride and then Collins breaks tackles. 211 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 6: It's a fun thing to watch. 212 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 5: John, let's discuss this about the Miko Ryans, because we 213 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 5: know that he's a good coach. He's proven that already 214 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 5: in San Francisco. Now he's the head coach. I was 215 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 5: watching something that John Harrison pulled up on his computer. 216 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 5: I don't know when this came out, but it's an 217 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 5: NFL films Presents feature. Carrissa Thompson is interviewing Fred Warner 218 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 5: and he's talking about the effect Amico Ryans had on him, 219 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 5: that Demiico empowered him to be the leader that he is, 220 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 5: and I know Dimico talked about that in his introductory 221 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 5: press conference as well. But what kind of effect can 222 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 5: the head coach have on individuals like that? Does he 223 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 5: have time to spend with the individuals to make those 224 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 5: changes internally within those players to make them be at 225 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 5: their best. I know the staff has more to do 226 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 5: with that than anything, but as a head coach because 227 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 5: he's so good at that, But now he's got to 228 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: manage the entire staff and try to get to the 229 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 5: players individually as well. It's really a different kind of 230 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 5: effort that the head coach has to bring and it's 231 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 5: going to be interesting to get his thoughts after the 232 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 5: season to see how it all went. 233 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 6: He is almost like right now coaching with one end. 234 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 6: Tip mind is back because of the injuries defenses. They 235 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 6: you know, he's disappointed the way the defense played against 236 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 6: the Colts. I mean, they just didn't look good. And 237 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 6: what was so disappointing about it is they played so 238 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 6: well in the first game. The Texans don't have enough 239 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 6: talent to be able to lose all the players they're losing, 240 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,359 Speaker 6: and that next man up, and in some cases offensive 241 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 6: line is the next man up subbing for the next 242 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 6: man up who's subbing subbing for the starter. And so 243 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 6: Dimiko is a cool head. You're not going to see 244 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 6: him go ballistic and lose his temper. I liked fact. 245 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 6: I saw him kind of get on a couple of 246 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 6: players during the game, but not in a way that 247 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 6: embarrassed him, in a teaching manner, and you know, buying 248 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 6: the scenes he does that. All five teams that had 249 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 6: openings reached out to him to try to get him 250 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 6: to do interviews. So that shows you how highly thought 251 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 6: of he was. But you can't judge a head coach, 252 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 6: assistant coach, a rookie quarterback after two games in the 253 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 6: NFL if you try, you don't know the NFL. 254 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 5: John, Where do you think the Colts are going? After 255 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 5: beating the Texans? They head to Baltimore, they're one in one, 256 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 5: the Ravens two to zero, off to a nice start 257 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 5: for themselves, and Gardner Minshew's gonna play at all likelihood, 258 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 5: I mean Richardson missed another practice today. 259 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: I would not expect him back. 260 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 5: Richards said, if I did it notable that. Hey, he 261 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 5: looked really good when he was in there. But he 262 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 5: plays two games in this league, he has to leave 263 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 5: both of them, both games he's played in the NFL. 264 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: What about the Colts at the Ravens this weekend. 265 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 6: I think they got a chance to win more games 266 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 6: with Minshew. He's not going to make rookie mistakes. We've 267 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 6: seen him win games with Jacksonville. He came in boom boom, boom, 268 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 6: took him straight down the field. Richardson had run for 269 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 6: two touchdowns in which the Texans looked like nobody'd ever 270 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 6: told him he was going to run with the ball. 271 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 6: They just looked terrible. And then he had that one 272 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 6: good series where he's throwing the ball. Well, then he didn't. 273 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 6: Now that was after he had when he was shid 274 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 6: by MK Stewart and he got his concussion, but he 275 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 6: stayed in at first, then he went out. So he's 276 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 6: had a runner of course, but Minshew is an experienced 277 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 6: veteran that can spread the ball around, not make mental mistakes. 278 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 6: They don't want him playing. They want Richardson playing because 279 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 6: they want him to be learning. Bryce Young's out and 280 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 6: the way CJ. Stroud keeps getting hit, it might be 281 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 6: only matter of time before he's out, and that would 282 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 6: not be good to have your top three guys out. 283 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 6: But right now, to me, it's clear that CJ's number one, Richardson, 284 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 6: two Young three. After the first week, I thought it 285 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 6: was Richardson, CJ, and Young and all three of these 286 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 6: guys has got so far to go. And Richardson they 287 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 6: want him to play, even though they started thirteen games 288 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 6: in college completed only fifty three percent, I think it was. 289 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 6: But I think they're very happy with what they've seen 290 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 6: from him so far. But you don't want your quarterback 291 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 6: leaving the first two games. 292 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 5: Hey help me out here, John, because the Titans are 293 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 5: going to visit the Browns and no, it's only week three, 294 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 5: but I can't root for either team under almost any circumstances. 295 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 5: So here's Cleveland coming off that physical game against Pittsburgh 296 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 5: on Monday night. Highly entertaining when you watch these defenses operate, 297 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 5: particularly Pittsburgh's. I don't want to be that entertained by 298 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 5: them next week, of course, But the Titans, with what 299 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 5: they bring to the table, close loss against the Saints, 300 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 5: and then they take it to the Chargers. I say, 301 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 5: take it too. They did a good job against their defense. 302 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are going to do 303 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 5: a good job against the Chargers defense this year. But 304 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 5: what do you make of Titans at Browns this weekend? 305 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, you want the Titans to win 306 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 6: because the Texans aren't going to win the division. So 307 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 6: if the Browns lose, that just helps the Texans get 308 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 6: a higher pick. And since they have that last number one, 309 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 6: and Deshaun Watson is struggling big time. He's getting viscerating 310 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 6: by the media, viscerated by the media, the fans, social media. 311 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 6: It is ugly because the Watson I saw in that 312 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 6: game Monday night not the Watson from twenty twenty. It's 313 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 6: the Watson we saw last year. I don't remember him 314 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 6: getting a face mass penalty here much less. Two don't 315 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 6: remember him shoving official out of the way. It's pretty 316 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 6: obvious he's got the weight of the world, not to 317 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 6: mention his contract, not to mention pressure. Now with Nick 318 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 6: chubbying out, knowing he holds Kevin Stefanski's future in his hands, 319 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 6: and he looks like he's close to snapping. And so 320 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 6: the worst they play, and they got a great defense, 321 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 6: but the worst they play, the better it is for 322 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 6: the Texans. So I'm hoping the Titans beat the Browns. 323 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 5: How long do you think this keeps up with Tennessee. 324 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 5: I mean, they played reasonably well in the opener to 325 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 5: fight the three picks by Tannehill. They were right in 326 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 5: the game with the Saints, and then they go ahead 327 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 5: and beat the Chargers, and look, they could certainly get 328 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 5: a ton against the Browns and really be a going 329 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 5: concern in the AFC South. 330 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 6: The Titans won in overtime. They made a trade for 331 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 6: Nick Folk and he won that game. We know, Mike 332 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 6: Brables a really good coach. Defense is good. They're run 333 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 6: defense is spectacular. I mean, nobody runs on the Titans. 334 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 6: So I don't see Kareem Hunt and Jerome Ford gonna 335 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 6: run on the Titans. So it's all gonna come down 336 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 6: to Watson's passing, and he's gonna have to play a 337 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 6: whole lot better than he has. As far as Tannehill, 338 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 6: you know, if he has Derrick Henry running, it opens 339 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 6: up him throwing the play action passes on the rollouts 340 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 6: that he's best at Tyze Spears, a young guy who 341 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 6: comes in for Henry. I think they don't want Henry 342 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 6: carrying it thirty times a game. Although he just carried 343 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 6: twenty five. I don't think he can do that over 344 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 6: the course of the season. But they're gonna play close games. 345 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 6: They've played two so far. That's just them. They're not 346 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 6: gonna have Tannehill drop back and pling it down the 347 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 6: field too much because that's not the strength. So they're 348 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 6: gonna be in a lot of games they win, They're 349 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 6: gonna be in a lot of games they lose. 350 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 5: General, what do you make of the Bears situation with 351 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 5: the report that came out yesterday, I'm surprised there is 352 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 5: not more reporting done on that. 353 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 3: How hard is it? 354 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 5: I know it was refuted immediately the Bear Hallis Hall 355 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 5: was not rated. You know, we don't know about the 356 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 5: defensive coordinator's home, but Hallis Hall was not rated. That's 357 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 5: just out there and everyone assumes it's true, and maybe 358 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 5: it is true, and I'll just go with it right now. 359 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 5: But I'm just surprised there is not more to this 360 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 5: that's been I know there's more to it, but more 361 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 5: to it that's been reported by reputable investigative type reporters 362 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 5: and maybe it's just going to take a while. What 363 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 5: do you think of the story there? And then I'll 364 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 5: piggyback the Fields situation on top of that, because that 365 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 5: was bizarre yesterday where he said coaching was an issue, 366 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 5: but he didn't say it as directly as was originally reported. 367 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 3: He backtracked it in the locker room. 368 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 6: I noticed one report that said Charles Peanutt Tillman, they're 369 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 6: former Great Corner who works for the FBI, that he 370 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 6: alerted them that there's raid. Now, it depends on your 371 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 6: definition of the raid. A raid to me is something 372 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 6: where they come in and take all your computers and 373 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 6: take everything. And I don't think that's the case. So 374 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 6: when the Bears say it didn't happen, and they didn't 375 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 6: say it happened yesterday, now they're saying it could have 376 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 6: happened sometime in the last few days. Pat McAfee had 377 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 6: his sources say yes, it did happen, and there's a 378 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 6: couple of reputable reporters say yes it happened. The Bears 379 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 6: say no, it did not. The FBI was not here, 380 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 6: the FBI was not at his home. Now they're saying 381 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 6: they were at his home. The fact is they need 382 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 6: defensive coordinator. They may need a new quarterback. Luke gets 383 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 6: the offensive coordinators trying to make fields a pocket passer. 384 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 6: That is terrible coaching. You can't make a player fit 385 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 6: your system. You fit the system to the player. And 386 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 6: if Phils can't run and throw them the run, you 387 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 6: might as well bench. And the way they're playing right now, 388 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 6: they're awful again. They have the Panthers first round pick, 389 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 6: and the Panthers are zero to two, and so maybe 390 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 6: the Bears get in a position to draft one of 391 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 6: the top quarterback prospects and see if they can trade 392 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 6: feels to a coach who knows how to use them 393 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 6: to get the best out of it. 394 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 5: John McClean joining US Texans Radio, all right, how good 395 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 5: are the Cowboys? 396 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 3: I think this happens a lot. 397 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 5: You get a team that scores a lot of points 398 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 5: first couple of weeks, really hot start. I know they 399 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 5: had the bad injury with Diggs today, but where do 400 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 5: you think they're headed now? They're headed to Arizona this week, 401 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 5: so that shouldn't be a problem, I guess, But you 402 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 5: never know what the Cardinals this year. 403 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 3: I suppose they're rowing two. 404 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 5: But they've played some interesting games, very close against the 405 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 5: Commanders and of course against the Giants who roared back 406 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 5: to win that game. But what about the Cowboys general? 407 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 5: How good are they? 408 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 6: Well, they should blow out the Cardinals of course, to 409 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 6: be three and zero. I'm more impressed with Miami and 410 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 6: San Francisco because they won two road games. That is 411 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 6: such a big deal to start on the road and 412 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 6: be unbeaten. And they have only six maybe one of 413 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 6: them at seven, but road games remaining. But the Cowboys 414 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 6: defense has been fantastic. You know, Mike McCarthy. People are saying, oh, 415 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 6: it's so great he's calling plays. Well, he hadn't had 416 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 6: to call a lot of tough plays because the pass 417 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 6: rush led by Micah Parsons is fantastic. That's why they 418 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 6: can withstand the loss of Trayvon Diggs towards ACL the 419 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 6: day in practice, because when you get the pressure coming 420 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 6: from all angles, it's so much easier on those dbs. 421 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 6: It been a lot worse if they lost Parsons, then 422 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 6: it would have been Trayvon Diggs and Giggs is a 423 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 6: great corner, but not one defensive player is going to 424 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 6: cause you to miss the playoffs like a quarterback would. 425 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 6: So I think the Cardinals of the Cowboys are really good, 426 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 6: and I think at some point they're going to be 427 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 6: behind it and McCarthy's gonna have to call plays dead 428 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: will give Tac Prescott and he's going to have to 429 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 6: bring him from behind. But all my buddies that were 430 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 6: for the Cowboys, they know they're going to the Super 431 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 6: Bowl for the first time in what like fifty seven years. 432 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 5: Well, see all right, one more for you in the 433 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 5: NFL the what are these two teams doing at zero 434 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 5: and two Bowl? With the Vikings entertaining the Chargers? How 435 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 5: hot is the seat for Brandon Staley right now heading 436 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 5: into this one? 437 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 6: Not many teams are rowing two and they have no turnovers, 438 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 6: But that's the case with the Chargers. And they're loaded 439 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 6: with talent, starting with Justin Herbert and they just with 440 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 6: Kellen Moore going out the everybody thought that was going 441 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 6: to be a huge difference, and it hasn't been. The 442 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 6: Chargers have talent. They got talent on both sides of 443 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 6: the ball. With their defense is not good and people 444 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 6: think he and Kevin Stefanski seats seats are the hottest 445 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 6: as far as the Vikings, they won like what ten 446 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 6: one score games last year, so a lot of people 447 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 6: predicted them to have a big drop off and finished 448 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 6: second or third behind the t and maybe Green Bay. 449 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 6: And I think the recovery for the Chargers is much 450 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 6: more likely than the Vikings. 451 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 5: John, what do you have going on on sports Radio 452 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 5: six to ten dot com for us to ingest? 453 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 6: I have a column on the Astros in the American 454 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 6: League West Race first time since divisional play was implemented 455 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 6: in sixty nine to three teams or a half game 456 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 6: within each other with ten or fewer games left the 457 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 6: Manors last ten Rangers, Astros, Rangers, and the Astros played 458 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 6: Kansas City. It just embarrassed them in Kansas City. And 459 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 6: then they go to Arizona, I mean Seattle in Arizona. 460 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 6: And I also have one of the fifty year reunion 461 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 6: of the Houston Aros hockey team, in which I came 462 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 6: to Houston from the Waco Tribune Arrow in Baylor to 463 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 6: cover those Arrows for their last two years.

His kids go to Shadow Creek, 506 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 4: I think, or in that district. So he's been over 507 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 4: there to Freedom Field and he's like, it is beautiful. 508 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 7: It is. 509 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 4: I'm sure it is beautiful. I'm looking forward to that. 510 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 4: Uh Randy mckwe I. So seven to ten, Shadow Creek, 511 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 4: Pairland again. Some of the top fifty talent in the 512 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 4: Greater Houston area. 513 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun. There's a lot of speed, a 514 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 2: lot of speed. 515 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 4: Man this quarterback for Shadow Creek, Corey Watson, Holy Cow 516 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 4: drops back and then Lamar Jackson happens. 517 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: Oh boys, fun to watch. 518 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 5: Okay, Channel two tonight, there's an NFL game on Amazon As. 519 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 5: We discussed with the general and we'll get into all 520 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 5: of it. Still we did and we continue to. But 521 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 5: you tell me this, let's relate it to the Houston Texans, 522 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 5: the Derek Stingley junior situation and the secondary because look, 523 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 5: it's one step forward, two steps back, or one step 524 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 5: forward one step back, because you get Jimmy Ward back 525 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 5: and you hope to get Jail and Petrie back, but 526 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 5: you're going to be without Derek Stingley Junior for a bit. 527 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 5: And this really hurts because you just lost Tavi or Thomas. 528 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 5: So between games two and three, you lose two guys 529 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 5: in the secondary and in that back five, I'll call 530 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 5: it a five because of the nickel. 531 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 3: You've taken some huge, huge hits. Gotta deal with it. 532 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 5: Every team does, but the Texans have had more than 533 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 5: their share thoughts on how they're gonna handle this. 534 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 2: Man, I think there are a couple of ways to 535 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: look at this. 536 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 4: Obviously, you're gonna start a corner and that's probably gonna 537 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 4: be Shack Griffin. So my guess is, if Jayala Petrie 538 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: is ready to go, it'll be hopefully a healthy Eric 539 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 4: Murray or m J. Stewart with Jimmy Ward at safety. 540 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 4: It'll be Steven Nelson, It'll be Shack Griffin veterans with 541 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 4: a lot of starts. 542 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: So that makes you feel good. 543 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 4: I think you can play man to man with that secondary. 544 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 4: May mean you play a little bit of zone, a 545 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 4: little bit more zone, that's okay. I mean I think 546 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 4: Demko has shown and Matt Burke has shown that they 547 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 4: play whatever coverage is gonna fit for that particular scheme. 548 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 4: I just hate the fact that you don't have Derek 549 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 4: Stingley in a full blown, healthy secondary against that group 550 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 4: featuring Calvin Ridley, yeah, and facing Trevor Lawrence. I think 551 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 4: that's that's the thing that the god. I just wish 552 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 4: we had a full, healthy secondary against him because when 553 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 4: you start and against them Ridley and Lawrence in particular, 554 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 4: because look, it really doesn't hurt you, Calvin Christian Kirk 555 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: will if they don't hurt you in say Jones will. 556 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 4: I mean, they've got a ton of pass catchers that 557 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 4: can hurt you. Shoot, if it's not any of them, 558 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 4: it's Evan Ingram. So you're gonna have to change up 559 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 4: the looks now. I think what's different this week as 560 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 4: opposed to last week is the Colts offensive line was 561 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 4: fully healthy and they were back to playing like they 562 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 4: had been in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen. 563 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: They were very, very good. 564 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 4: This Jacksonville line is is beat up is not the word. 565 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 4: But they're missing their starting left tackle, Cam Robinson, so 566 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 4: we're playing Walker little Over at left tackle, who played 567 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 4: at Beller Episcopal, played at Stanford and he's done. 568 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: Okay. 569 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 4: The other side is a rookie, it's Anton Harrison. But 570 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 4: combined they have I think eleven starts in the NFL. 571 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 4: These edge rushers for the Texas has got to take 572 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 4: advantage of that. Yeah, Ben Bartch, Luke Fortner, a couple 573 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 4: of second third year guys in the middle. 574 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 2: You could take advantage of those guys. 575 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 4: Now, there's also Brandon Sheriff, one of the best and 576 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 4: has been one of the best. 577 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: So that's gonna be tough. 578 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 4: But that's an offensive line that I don't think is 579 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 4: at the level of the Colts offensive line last week. 580 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 4: Plus may not see as many RPO type things, but 581 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 4: you might, considering how much a struggling with it, you 582 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 4: might see more of that from Trevor Lawrence. The key 583 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 4: is to me to help the secondary. That front's gotta 584 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 4: get after it. 585 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: Now. 586 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 4: They may have to blitz a little bit to do it, 587 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 4: and that might mean more man coverage and that could 588 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 4: open some things up downfield, so that blitz is gonna 589 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 4: have to get home often. 590 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 5: If you do it, Lawrence is gonna throw one up 591 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 5: or two. Yep, it's just gonna happen. Okay, that's my take. 592 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 5: All right, Let's get it to who's better here? 593 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: Okay? 594 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 3: And a lot of this relates to the Houston Texans. 595 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 3: Who's better, Johnny? 596 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 5: I've asked you this before and I'm gonna ask you 597 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 5: again because things change week to week, year to year. 598 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 5: Who's better Justin Herbert or Trevor Lawrence? 599 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: Oh is better? 600 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 5: I'll put it in another way. You got to start 601 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 5: a team right now. You gotta draft one of those guys. 602 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. 603 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 4: And I'm gonna say something that sounds weird I'm gonna 604 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 4: say something that sounds we Chargers are putting up points. 605 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 5: I know chargers are putting up points. They're not stopping people, 606 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 5: but they're putting up points. 607 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 4: I know the Jaguars are one and one, and I 608 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 4: sometimes hate this argument when it comes to quarterbacks, but 609 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 4: when they're this close talent wise, size wise, assets wise, 610 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 4: I go to, who do I think I would want 611 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 4: when things get tough? And even though he's got the long, 612 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 4: gold flowing locks, and you think he's Sunshine from the 613 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 4: movie you remember the Titans, The Nasty Little Secret with 614 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 4: Sunshine from the Titans. 615 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 5: That was one tough dude, Yes, And I think he 616 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 5: would have been okay when things get tough. 617 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: And Trevor Lawrence, I think, is that guy. 618 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 3: And when the officials were rigging the game against the Titans, right, 619 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 3: Sunshine responded exactly. 620 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: I think that's what Trevor Lawrence has. 621 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 4: I think Trevor Lawrence has got a little bit of 622 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 4: a bleep in his system. As they would say, last 623 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 4: year when they were playing the Titans, there was a 624 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 4: point in that game what I think the season changed 625 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: to the Jaguars. It started the week before against the Ravens, 626 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 4: but in that game, the Titans had kind of hit 627 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 4: them with a couple of body blows early, and then 628 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 4: all of a sudden they put it in fifth gear 629 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 4: and got in a left lane and went like one 630 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five and they left the Titans in 631 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 4: the dust. So it was like thirty three to twenty 632 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 4: at the end something like that, and the Titans front, 633 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 4: like Simmons and Tarts started kind of messing with the 634 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 4: interior line. 635 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: After Lawrence had taken a knee. 636 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 4: Lawrence got in front of the center and got in 637 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 4: front of the guard gun in front of all of them, 638 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 4: was like the first guy off the bus, and he 639 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 4: looked at him and he pointed like he's pointing up 640 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 4: a scoreboard. Oh that's nice, And it was like that 641 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 4: kind of stopped. It's like that's the kind of that's 642 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 4: the kind of toughness in leadership. 643 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: I think. 644 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's why I would say Trevor Lawrence, I 645 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 4: think that's I think justin Herbert's tough. I don't know 646 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 4: that he's you know, had those opportunities to kind of 647 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 4: maybe showed a little bit more than Trevor. I don't know, 648 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 4: maybe not, but I feel like Trevor's got that little 649 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 4: bit of a little bit of something in the system 650 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 4: that his teammates love, like they'll get behind. 651 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 5: When they matched it, when they matched up in the 652 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 5: playoffs last year, He's the guy who bounced back from 653 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 5: the rough, outing the four picks on the first half 654 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 5: and had the great second half. Anyway, we'll ask you 655 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 5: that again eventually. Okay, Who's better better primetime game this week? 656 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 5: Rams Bengals Monday Night, Eagles Buccaneers Monday Night. That's the 657 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 5: early one or the Sunday night one. I'm not gonna 658 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 5: go with the Thursday night one. The Sunday night battle 659 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 5: between the one and one Steelers at the one in 660 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 5: one Raiders. So you have Eagles at Bucks, Rams at Bengals, 661 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 5: Steelers at Raiders. Better primetime game? Which one is? 662 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 8: It? 663 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 4: Don't know if Joe Burrow is gonna play Rams Bengals, 664 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna leave that one out. Okay, it's kind 665 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 4: of iffy right now, so I'm gonna leave that one out. 666 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 4: Uh Raiders Steelers is? Can you pick it against Jimmy Garoppolo? 667 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 5: Nah, two big brands going questions a quarterback abound. 668 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 3: I like that, though I. 669 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 5: Know I thought the game against the Browns for the 670 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 5: Steelers was really entertaining. There was poor play from the quarterbacks, 671 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 5: it was a smash mouth defensive game, and considering the division, 672 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 5: what was on the line for me because of the 673 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 5: draft picks. 674 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,719 Speaker 3: H of course I really enjoyed that one. 675 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I well, I enjoyed the ending of it as well. 676 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 6: Well. 677 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 4: I enjoyed all of it. I mean from the first 678 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 4: play to the last play. I felt it like it 679 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 4: was very, very fun. But I'm gonna go with the 680 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 4: Eagles and the Buccaneers two o versus two and oh 681 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 4: games in Tampa. I think maybe to most people out there, 682 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 4: the Bucks have overachieved. Baker's playing pretty well. He's not 683 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 4: putting up cargantuan numbers, but you know, here the Bucks 684 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 4: can't get a deal done with Mike Evans. But yet 685 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 4: he's ball, and I mean, he has played very well. 686 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 4: And it's kind of a measuring stick game for the 687 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 4: Bucks against the Eagles. 688 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 2: So I think that game is gonna be absolutely awesome. 689 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 4: It's probably gonna be eight thousand degrees out there at kickoff, 690 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 4: which is seven to fifteen local time. 691 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with that game. 692 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 4: I just I would say Rams and Bengals because I 693 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 4: would love to see Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow just 694 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 4: sling it against one another. But I don't know if 695 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 4: Burrow is going to play in that game, and that's 696 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 4: the only thing that keeps me away. 697 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 2: So I'll go. I'll go Eagles Bucks. 698 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 4: To me, there's more intrigued to see how the Bucks 699 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 4: respond and then the Eagles. You know, there was some 700 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 4: talk about that gaming and the vikings. Oh maybe the 701 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 4: Eagles aren't quite there. Well, they put up thirty four points. 702 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 4: I don't know what people are complaining about. I think 703 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 4: that's gonna be a good measuring stick game for the 704 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 4: Bucks in that one against the Eagles. 705 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go Eagles. Bucks. Eagles are five point 706 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 2: favorite on the road. 707 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 5: The questions about the Eagles from national and local media, Hello, 708 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 5: it's two and zero. 709 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 3: You scored points. 710 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 5: It's not entirely gorgeous every step of the way, But 711 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 5: so what right it's not gonna be the finished product 712 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 5: in September. You don't want the finished product in September. 713 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 5: You don't want to peak too early. I hate to 714 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 5: use that cliche, but it's kind of true. 715 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 2: It's very true. 716 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 3: All right, who's better? Better? Two and oh team Saints 717 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 3: Bucks or Atlanta. 718 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 5: The Texans are a couple of weeks away from getting 719 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 5: into that four game NFC South Swing, and my how 720 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 5: that division has gotten off to a start that we 721 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 5: did not put with three teams in the NFC South 722 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 5: at tu it Oh Panthers just watching at oh and two, 723 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 5: But Saints Bucks, Atlanta better to it? 724 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: Oh? 725 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 3: Team? 726 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 2: Who is it? I think it's the Bucks. I think 727 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 2: it's Bucks. 728 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 3: You wouldn't have said that a few weeks ago. 729 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 4: I you know, here, this one's hard because I feel like, 730 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 4: I mean, the Falcons probably shouldn't be town Oh. If 731 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 4: Jordan Love doesn't have some sort of like spasm and 732 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 4: fall over, I think they're gonna pick up that fourth 733 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 4: and one and end the game twenty four to twenty two. 734 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 4: But they didn't. You could say the Saints got lucky. 735 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 4: Maybe against the Titans. Maybe, I don't know. I mean 736 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 4: their defense played extremely well. The Bucks have been the 737 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 4: most consistent team through two weeks. So I'm gonna go 738 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the Bucks right now, but I 739 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 4: don't want to face the Falcons offense. 740 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: Well, you're going to in a couple of weeks. 741 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 2: No, I don't really want to face the Saints defense. 742 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 4: I don't have to do that in a few weeks too, 743 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 4: kind of can't wait till we face the Panthers. But 744 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 4: we get those NFC South teams five four out of 745 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 4: five weeks with a bye week in between. So we 746 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 4: get in Atlanta, go to Atlanta, come back for New 747 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 4: Orleans bye week, play Tampa Bay. 748 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 2: No, don't go to Carolina. Then play Tampa Bay hormes. 749 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 4: So we get all four NFC South back to back 750 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 4: by back to back. So yeah, we'll get We'll get 751 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 4: a healthy dose and see what those teams are all about. 752 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 4: Just our luck that you know, this happened with the 753 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 4: NFC East last year. The year before we faced the 754 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 4: NFC East, it was garbage, hot garbage. And then we 755 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 4: face them and they had three teams go to the playoffs. Yeah, 756 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 4: and now you're looking at the NFC South. It was 757 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 4: garbage last year and now they're three teams two and zero. 758 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 5: So you're not gonna have a sub five hundred division 759 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 5: winner in the NFC South. No, that's true, not gonna 760 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 5: happen something. But bucks, okay, Bucks, who's better? 761 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 3: Better? 762 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 5: Zero to two team, Chargers or Vikings they play this week, 763 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 5: something's gotta give. Look, the Vikings have scored some points 764 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 5: and hasn't looked good. They're all in two. The Chargers 765 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 5: have scored some points. They can't stop people. They're all 766 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 5: in two. How do you allow the Titans to do that? 767 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 5: I know the Titans are a better team than maybe 768 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 5: we thought, but and I know they were at their 769 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 5: place and they're hungry for Owin and all that, and 770 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 5: but come on, who's a better zero to two team, 771 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 5: Chargers or Minnesota. 772 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Chargers, But I don't feel great about that. 773 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 4: There's so much noise now about Brandon Staley and the defense, 774 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 4: and I think what's frustrating, and. 775 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 2: It probably it probably is right for him to. 776 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 4: Be feeling a heat because klil Mack, Joey Bosa, Derwin James. 777 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 4: I mean, they've got more high level talent than any 778 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 4: team in the league, seemingly on defense, and they just 779 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 4: can't get it together. Now they've played the Dolphins and 780 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 4: they played the Titans. Dolphins, I can see you go 781 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 4: up thirty six too. I can see that twenty seven 782 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 4: to the Titans. Yeah, what the that's rough? But I'm 783 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,919 Speaker 4: not trusting the Vikings either. The Bucks went in there 784 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 4: and they score twenty. But there's just something about the 785 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 4: Vikings this year. Kirk Cousins knows he's on his way out, 786 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 4: they lost Eric Kendrick's leader in the middle. I just 787 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 4: feel like there's something really missing from the Vikings this year. 788 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 4: And I don't love the Chargers going to the Vikings. 789 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 4: I do think the Viks gonna win that game, but 790 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 4: I think the better team at Z and two is 791 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 4: the Chargers. So I'm gonna go with the Vikings to 792 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 4: win that, but I think the Charger is a better team. 793 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 4: Texans are going to Minnesota next year. Next year and 794 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 4: to Green Bay as well. 795 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, circle those on the calendar, but we don't know 796 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 5: where they're going to pop up on the calendar. But 797 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 5: circle those as something to watch for in May when 798 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 5: the schedule comes out. 799 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 3: Johnny, thank you, got it? 800 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 2: Thank you? All right? 801 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 5: Coming up, what some of the Texans have been saying 802 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,240 Speaker 5: this week about this week's matchup at Jacksonville plus shoulder injuries? 803 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 5: Has there been a much publicized one? Hmm, Let's check 804 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 5: in with a doctor from Houston Methodist with Houston Methodist 805 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 5: Minutes about shoulder injuries, among other things here on Texans Radio. 806 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 5: All right, final segment here on Texans Radio tonight before 807 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 5: we make way for Thursday Night football. Now, let's get 808 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 5: into this couple of choice huts to get you caught 809 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 5: up on what has been happening this week. Of course, 810 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 5: the team zero to two, and you've heard all about CJ. 811 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 5: Stroud and the completion number through two games for a 812 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 5: rookie quarterback. It's second all time since nineteen fifty. I 813 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 5: guess they didn't want to go back before nineteen fifty 814 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 5: because who knows. 815 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,439 Speaker 3: You get the point. 816 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 5: Though he's thrown the ball a lot, he's completed a 817 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 5: lot and that's a very good thing. Now, a very 818 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 5: bad thing is the injuries hitting this team along the 819 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 5: offensive line, in the secondary. We talked about it with 820 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 5: John Harris. What did Nick Cassario tell us last night 821 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,919 Speaker 5: about the injuries and how to keep that roster replenished. 822 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: We've had some over the last couple weeks, some players 823 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: internally that we've had elevate and then we externally had 824 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: to go out and sign a few players and ended 825 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: up playing maybe a bigger role. And we thought DHC 826 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: went in there. Houston Carson. We signed them probably more 827 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 1: to help us in the kicking game there a little bit. 828 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: And then when Eric went out than DHC had to 829 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: go in a game to play a little bit more defensively. 830 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: And I think his experience just being in the NFL 831 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: the last seven eight years playing a lot of football. 832 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: But each week you have X number of players that 833 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: you know are going to be available, and their responsibility 834 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: and job is to prepare and you really never know 835 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: when you're gonna be thrust into that position or situation. 836 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 5: Well, they're certainly in the situation now. Also, let's get 837 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 5: back to CJ. Stroud here for a moment, because we 838 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 5: talk about his accuracy a lot, all those completions. Well, 839 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 5: Nico Collins is coming off a career day, hit the 840 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 5: century mark and receiving yards for the first time in 841 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 5: his career. So what about the ball placement? What about 842 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 5: the accuracy of CJ. 843 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:35,760 Speaker 2: Stroud? 844 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 3: How does that help out the receivers? 845 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 7: Really, is a ballplace man is big time for quarterback 846 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 7: and receiver. You know, just like say is this is 847 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 7: on coverage man, You need the ball like over your 848 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 7: outside shoulder or something, because you know the dB sitting 849 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 7: on your low hit, just putting that ball right there. 850 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 7: Nobody else can get it, but you you know, just 851 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 7: little things like that, or just moving one guy with 852 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 7: eyes and knowing where you're about to go with the 853 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 7: other one, you know, just those little things like that. Man, 854 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 7: I just feel like he's just gonna get easier and easier, 855 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 7: you know, once he figured out the coverages, you know, 856 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 7: and just once the game slowed down for him, is 857 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 7: going to be a Lisle. 858 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 5: Well, looking forward to some lights out place Sunday against 859 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 5: the Jaguars. 860 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 3: Let's hope we get it. 861 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 5: Last Friday, the shoulder injury news came down, so I thought, 862 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 5: let's do Houston Methodist Minutes on shoulder injuries this week 863 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 5: with doctor Taylor Brown of Houston Methodist. Doctor, how's it going. 864 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 8: I'm having a great day. I'm excited to talk to 865 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 8: you today. 866 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 5: Well, I'm always excited to speak with you, except when 867 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 5: their injuries involved. Now let's talk shoulders because there was 868 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 5: a much publicized shoulder injury reported last Friday, and I 869 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 5: don't want to get into that specifically, but you tell me. 870 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 5: I heard about ac joints, and I talked to my 871 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 5: broadcast partner, John Harris, who said he actually played an 872 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 5: entire season with an AC joint injury. Let's start with 873 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 5: that type of shoulder injury. Doctor, what is an AC 874 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 5: joint injury and how does that affect the person who 875 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 5: has it? 876 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 8: Either freely referred to as shoulder separations, the AC joint 877 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 8: is the chromeocre viicular joint where the clavicle and the 878 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 8: shoulder blade come together. Men named Rockwood and san Antonio 879 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 8: came up with six different types, and so the first 880 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 8: three types one, two, and three are usually treated nonoperatively, 881 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 8: but types four, five, and six frequently will require surgery 882 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,240 Speaker 8: to repair them and are very common after cycling injuries. 883 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 8: If you en a fall onto the side of the shoulder, 884 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 8: so we also see it with football as you get 885 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 8: tackled and land on the side of your shoulder, the 886 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 8: ligaments at the joint and then the detached between the 887 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 8: coricoid which is part of the shoulder blade and the 888 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 8: clavical and the collar bone can sometimes be disrupted as well, 889 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 8: and so many low grade or types one, two, and 890 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 8: three can be treated with a sling and some physical 891 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 8: therapy to strength and the muscles around the shoulder blade, 892 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 8: but those higher ones can be quite disabling because it 893 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 8: feels like your entire arm is coming off. 894 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 5: Doctor, what about rotator cuff injuries. That's a muscle. How 895 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 5: does that play into this type of injury or is 896 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 5: it a completely separate thing? Is it sometimes related? What 897 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 5: can you share with us about that? 898 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 8: Sometimes related is going to be the answer. The rotator 899 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 8: cuff is a set of four muscles and tendons that 900 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 8: surround the shoulder blade and then go across the glenna 901 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 8: humor joint and then attach on the humorus, which is 902 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 8: the armbone. The majority of people with rotator cuff tears, 903 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 8: they are from degeneration and aging, but some people can 904 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 8: have a traumatic rotator cuff taar and it's where the 905 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 8: tendon detaches from the bone most commonly, Muscle injuries around 906 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 8: the rotator cuff are less common, and those are usually 907 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 8: treated nonoperably. But then when the tendon detaches from the bone, 908 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 8: if it's a partial tear, that can usually be treated 909 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 8: without surgery, but a full thickness rotator cuff tair is 910 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 8: in most people, especially if it's traumatic and it's a 911 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 8: younger person, are going to be treated operadly. Rotator cuff 912 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 8: tears can happen at the same time as a shoulder separation. 913 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 8: That's probably less than twenty five percent of the time 914 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 8: with shoulder separation more commonly the shoulder because of that 915 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 8: injury to the ac joint, the rotator cuff will be 916 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 8: stunned or bruised and weakened from inflammation as a result, 917 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 8: and or just the pain. But the shoulder separation will 918 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 8: inhibit the rotator cuff from working, and that's where physical 919 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 8: therapy sometimes is very helpful to recover the rotator cuff 920 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 8: function if it may be injured but not torn. 921 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 5: So back to the ac joint. A lot of this 922 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,320 Speaker 5: is about if it's the right kind of injury. For 923 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 5: lack of a better way of putting it, it's about 924 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 5: pain tolerance. 925 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 3: You can still function. 926 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,320 Speaker 8: Yes, the majority of people with shoulder separations are treated 927 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:35,879 Speaker 8: appropriately without surgery, a period of rest and let those 928 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 8: ligaments heal, do some rehab to strengthen the muscles around 929 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 8: the shoulder blade and the rotator cuff, and then many 930 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 8: of them get back to high levels of function without 931 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 8: any surgery. They may have a bump on the end 932 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 8: of the collarbone, but many people will function well. There 933 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 8: are those where the whole where those type fours five 934 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 8: and six, where the shoulder feels unstable and the shoulder 935 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 8: blade feels like it's sliding down, or the arm is 936 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 8: really almost detached from your body, those are the ones 937 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 8: that do better with surgery. 938 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 3: Doctor thanks so much for the information. We really appreciate it, 939 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 3: happy to help. 940 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 5: That's doctor Taylor Brown of Houston Methodist.
