WEBVTT - John Harris Builds the Ultimate 2026 Texans Mock Schedule 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.120 What is happened? Everybody? 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:04.320 Welcome into a Monday edition of Texans All Access from 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.840 Monday Texans Radio Studio. John Harrish, you host plan Out 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:14.040 Sideline reporter alongside the voice that Texans won, Mark Vanimir Mark. 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:14.920 Good evening. 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.279 Tell me how your Saturday went. I know it was 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:19.760 a big Saturday Saturday ago. 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:21.960 So we didn't make it to the bubble, but we 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.160 got within one game of making it to the bubble. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.440 And the Bubble is a great event with the final 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.880 four this Saturday. Because the districts have expanded for the Texans, 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.120 more funding, more schools. 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:33.440 Yep. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.080 But we basically won Fort Ben County the Clements Rangers 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:41.280 flag football team and we were in the final against 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.040 Memorial for the whole district. The Memorial got us. It 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:45.839 was zero zero at the half. They scored in the 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.120 second half and that was it. It was the end of 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.600 a long day. Didn't make it. They're a great team. 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.200 But the Raiders ot a heck of a season. Johnny 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.600 winless last year and went all the way to the 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.520 championship with the district this year. 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.720 So that was it. That's coaching, man, That is coaches, 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.160 the players, the coaches. No, you know this. It's you 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.640 know you could do what you could do. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.560 They play the game, that's right, you know you, but 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.440 you always think about what you could have done better 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.280 to put them in better positions in. 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.000 Any kind of loss, you know. 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.320 And it's funny because like coaching anything, I would imagine 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.240 you always think about the losses more than the wins. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.600 And you want to celebrate the wins, but you think 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:25.800 about the losses. 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.039 Constantly because you're thinking what could I have done to 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.119 get them over the top. 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:30.759 But I'm really happy with those girls. 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.039 They did a tremendous job and it's gonna be fun. 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.120 I'll go to some of the bubble games or there 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.080 are three or four of them on well it's a 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.080 final four, so two to two one on Saturday, I'm 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.400 gonna check those out and good luck Memorial. 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.160 They were a great team. They took us out, so 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.119 that was fun that. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.120 We had a heck of a run, won three games 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.840 on Saturday to get to that championship. 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.400 But it got hot, no excuses. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.560 They dealt better than we did with it, and I'm 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.800 just really proud of them, really proud of them and 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.240 coach hang at Clements and I were just thrilled with 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:02.760 these girls wonderful time. 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.400 Twenty six years later, and I still sick about the 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.080 loss of loss. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:09.680 In my mind. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.400 I can see every I can see every play. I 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.440 can see it from my angle on the sideline. I 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.720 can see it from the film Angle, which I've watched 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.720 a thousand times. And I remember one time, this is 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.360 probably about I don't know, six or seven years ago. 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.120 I remember I just happened to be sitting at my 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.800 computer and I had my computer plugged in. I've got 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.480 a hard drive that's all kinds of stuff on it, 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.160 and I just was kind of clicking through there, just 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.520 kind of messing around, and I pulled the game up, 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.200 and at one point my wife walked by and she 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.400 just went, really, what are you doing? Really, what are 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.560 you doing? And I was just like, ah, you know, 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.480 I just was kind of curious. So I went back 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:45.880 to watching. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.240 I'm curious if we still lose this? 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:47.480 Yeah? 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.440 Yeah, do we still lose it? At some point? 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.160 And when we're up twenty four to twelve in the 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.280 fourth quarter, you think, now, now we got this one. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:54.560 We got this one. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.119 And then we lose twenty seven, twenty twenty five, twenty four, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.639 and it's like didn't choice six years later, remember every play. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.639 I'm like that with Texans games though, when I see 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.800 these videos Texans and Jacks fantastic finish from twenty twenty five, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.880 and I'm watching the fourth quarter of that game here 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.520 at Reliott Stadium, and I'm looking and I'm thinking, are 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:14.480 we going to pull this out? 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.639 And this looks really dicey. I'm worried and then scared. 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.600 You know how it ends, But it's still a doubtful 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.480 situation when you look at the way some of these 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:29.320 things unfold. The playoff game against the Browns the year before, 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.840 but now two years before, I watch that, and that 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.520 doesn't you know, like a lot of blowouts, it doesn't 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.520 happen right away. It's not like you're up twenty eight 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.880 nothing after one minute of the game, right The game 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.600 with the Chargers is the one that one was super 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.440 close going into the fourth and then you pull away. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.520 The game with the Steelers this past year, super close, 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.080 as we all know, seven to six, and then you 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.080 pull away in the fourth quarter. Big It looks like 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.400 a blowout at the end, and it was. But it 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.920 didn't happen overnight, within the course of the game. It 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.680 took a while to get it going. So it's funny 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:03.480 how those things play out. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.240 It went from seven to six to thirty to six 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.600 and like a blink, yeah, whoa yeah, and we're gonna 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.760 play them again, Johnny. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:13.280 Yeah, we are gonna Oh, which brings me to today's topic. Okay, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:18.480 and that is I created an eighteen week fake twenty 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:19.719 twenty six schedule. 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.640 Okay, I want to see what you do here, because 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.040 the news this morning broke that we will not open 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.719 the season against the Dallas Cowboys because they open against 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.080 the Giants on Sunday Night Football, which you know, all right, 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.080 I get at NBC. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.040 We want you want to get the Giants on before. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.600 They start stinking right, Yeah, I bet the Giants still 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.119 get a pretty healthy complement of prime time games because 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.760 it is the New York team, even more so than 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.200 the Jets. They are the New York team. So Giants 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.719 Cowboys on opening weekend. It makes a lot of sense. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.880 You just it's not ripping off the band aid. It's 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.800 let's serve some steak here on opening weekend that we 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.200 know is gonna work TV. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.000 Well, it's a hardball John Harbaugh taking over with the Giants, 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.960 and you know, drafted R. L. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.800 Reese and Cissimos. Hopefully he's going to be healthy enough to. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.520 Don't oversell it. It's just the Giants. It's that n 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.400 y on the helmet, that's what it is. 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.160 So that was announced today. So you're the. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.039 Cowboys who attract eyeballs whatever they do, because you either 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:18.159 want to watch them win or lose. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:23.120 Right, So week one we know at this point somebody 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.800 will open at Seattle when the Rams and Niners are 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.440 playing in Melbourne and the Giants of Cowboys, as you mentioned, 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.560 announced today for Sunday night football. So you have a 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.719 mock schedule. So I have a mock schedule. I have 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.280 a fake schedule you want, and I put together. There 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.039 was one piece of news. I don't even call it news. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:48.479 There's a rumor from an account on Twitter at Nerding 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.960 on NFL. This is where he comes up or she 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.800 don't know who it is what it is, comes up 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.400 with a bunch of schedule leaks and had one over 0:05:59.440 --> 0:05:59.839 the weekend. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.760 A ninth was that Saturday. People have run with this 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.800 like it's the gospel. Yeah, absolutely, So this person has 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.680 been wrong before, They've been right. They've been right a lot, 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:09.680 but they've been wrong. 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:15.880 A handful Toody's confirmed this correct, but they have suggested 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.120 that the Texans will actually be going to London again. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:25.080 The last time we went internationally was to London to 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:29.720 Wembley to play the Jags. Yeah, and that's exactly what 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:35.440 they have. They say, week six, October eighteenth, eight thirty 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:39.120 local time in the morning or Houston time, which I 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.520 think is like two thirty over there. 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.080 But we'll we'll get that all squared away. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:43.400 Now. 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.760 What we know is that the Jags are playing twice 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.279 in London, so either they're playing us then somebody, or 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.680 playing somebody then playing us. But this apparently is in 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.440 the Jaguars away home away from home, Wembley, according to 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:03.320 Nerding on NFL. And I can't emphasize enough this may 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.599 not be correct, but in my fake schedule, I went 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.280 with it. Just figured okay, I'll just take that one 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.360 slotted in week six and go from there. Now, as 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:18.600 I went through this schedule, I combined elements from different 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:24.040 years that I remember in which ooh, that was really tough. Now, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.840 with nine road games, it's already tough, and apparently one 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.640 of them being internationally, according to at Nerding on the NFL. 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.840 It's gonna be eight eight and one. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.960 So the first thing that I brought into the fray 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.000 was twenty eighteen. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.040 Okay, what do you. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.080 Remember about the start of twenty eighteen? Do you remember 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.280 twenty eighteen? It was Patriots Titans? 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.040 Yeah that it was winless, Yes, bought after that, and 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.320 then the Colts Patriots Titans cults picked up. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.520 Before that, it was road Road. Thank you, road Road, 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.200 Road Road. I went road road. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:08:01.840 Okay, Week one at Tennessee Titans. Johnny, I'm gonna share 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.240 something with you. The Texans have never opened with the 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.760 Tennessee Titans. Why, I don't know's weird. It's never happened. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:09.239 It's weird. 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.080 And I went through it this morning, and you know what, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.440 I was in a digital content creation meeting and I 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.640 was doodling every opener in Texans history, and I could 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.440 do it off the top of my head. And we've 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.920 never opened with the Titans. We've closed with them several times, 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.400 but we've never opened with that. No, I think it's 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:32.040 a great prediction. I actually second this that it's gonna happen, 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.760 because it's never happened, and why not now? And you 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.319 know what, I'm down with it open at Tennessee all 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.800 day long. I'm down with it, you know why. Look, 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.040 nothing's easy in this league. We know the Titans could 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.120 be a total ambush team whatever, but I'd like to 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.480 open the season with a nice dub, a nice big 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.200 fat dub on the road. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:51.920 They don't expect to win, and. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.680 You kin catch them before they maybe start to turn acud. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:55.440 Yeah a little bit. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.120 Now, you don't know what they're gonna do, but you 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:58.720 can kind of predict some things. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.320 You know, Dable is gonna be the see he is 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.960 the OC, Robert solid defensive coordinator, Calleen know what he does. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:05.880 We know who they have. 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.520 Let's just go in there, beat them one to Oh, 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.240 let's go. I'm down with opening on the road against 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.120 the Tennessee Titans. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.760 Then we go back schedule, that's right, Then we go 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:15.600 back on the road. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.360 So road, like I said. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:24.640 Channeling twenty eighteens at Washington Commanders get that NFC team 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.120 in week two. So that's channeling a little bit of 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.319 last year where we had Tampa Bay in Week two, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.080 but we played them here on Monday night. Now we're 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:37.040 playing the Washington Commanders in Washington. So go road, road, 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.480 So fly to Nashville, get a win, come back, prepare, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.360 go back, and take on Washington in week two. 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.520 I sign off on this because now after that, you're 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.640 gonna get eight at home, seven on the road. You're 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.760 gonna get the buy in there. Look I like that. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.760 I like ripping off two road band aids early Washington Now, 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.400 I think they're more likely to be good early than late. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.000 But we'll see. We'll see what Jade and Daniels, Jaden 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.400 Brown three. There's no Cliff Kingsbury anymore. What does it 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:06.920 all mean? 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:07.199 Right? 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.640 How's that gonna go for them? It's it's a strange dynamic. 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.520 It feels uneasy in the Nation's Capitol from here anyway. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.960 I don't really study them every day, do you no? 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.920 But I feel like it's an older team. I was 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.720 looking at a graft the other day. They showed the 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.840 age of the the NFL, and the Texans are like 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:30.160 twenty first. I guess twenty first youngest, which would be 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.520 what eleventh oldest? The Washington Commanders, I think, are the 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.199 oldest team in the league. So we go Titans Commanders 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:36.720 week one week. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.640 David blau is a blower. He's their offensive offense. Cordiad 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.640 I think good. I think it's gonna be good. Smart guy. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.600 So we go road road, just like twenty eighteen. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:50.640 All right, who's next? Monday Night football? Home opener? Home opener? 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:51.440 Monday night Football? 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:52.040 So you get them. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.040 It's not really a mini buye, but you get an 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.520 extra day after the week two game at Washington to. 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.560 Play Dak Prescott in the Dallas Cowboys. All right, so 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.160 this is it. It's Monday Night Football. It's the opener. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.040 It can't be the opener opener like opening week, but 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.200 the opening game in the twenty fifth season will be 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:13.959 the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:14.400 Night Week three. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.440 Can I shoot a hole in it right now? Oh no, 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.439 it can't happen. You gotta look at the Cowboys schedule, okay, because. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.800 Oh that's right, damn it. They're in Rio. Can you 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.360 make a quick switch? Let me see, let me see 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.000 if I can. Okay, okay, okay, I got got like 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.240 North Junior, make a quick switch. I got a switch. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:29.480 I don't know. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.880 If we're not gonna put the Cowboys on the road here, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:32.960 then send them to Rio. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.079 I'd love to see it happen. 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.600 Okay, So all right, so we're sticking with a primetime game. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.520 But I okay, here's the one I moved. You made 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.000 a switch, Okay, I did. We just mentioned him little 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.960 while ago the g Man on Thursday night football. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.560 Wait wait, wait, we gotta go short week after Washington. Yeah, 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.720 short week after watching You're killing me, Johnny. I know. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.720 But we've done that before, and we've had to go 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:58.319 on the road. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.439 Remember twenty seventeen we played here, we played the Jags, 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:02.679 and then to go right on the road in week 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.440 two to play Cincinnati on Thursday night. 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:04.840 I know. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.440 Now I'm getting back from Washington and I play my 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.440 home over on a Thursday after no rest. I mean, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.880 I'm getting back, Johnny, I'm getting back late from that game. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.040 That's a not a terribly long flight. But it's not 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:18.160 a short flight either. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.040 No, all right, I'll. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.920 Take it whatever I have to take it, don't I. Yeah, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.439 it's the Giants on a Thursday. You're gonna go Amazon 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:26.640 Thursday night. 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.920 I'd rather have the Thursday night Amazon game earlier in 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:31.600 the year than later. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.720 Did I tell you almost ran over Kirk hurb Street's 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.160 dog in the loading dock. Well it wasn't that close, 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.079 but I was. You know, I'm not driving a big 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.760 dog by the way, Yeah, big dog. I drive a 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.200 rapid amente, but not on the not in a loading 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.800 dock on a game. Damn, my head on a swivel. Yeah, 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.680 that's why I saw the dog walking in front of 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.480 my car. And he must have been on a leash, 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.760 I guess. But it wasn't Kirk with the dog. It 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:57.800 was a dog handler. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:58.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.439 And the dog I think is not exactly totally obedient 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.200 yet because it's still a young dog, although you would 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.720 think you'd have that thing trade pretty well. And the 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.719 dog was somehow just I want to say, Johnny, the 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:12.720 dog was wandering. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.440 I want to say that. 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.400 But I just thought this is a story for later 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.360 that I encountered Kirk Hurbstreak's dog Ben. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.200 Is it Ben? What is it? Now? Ben was the 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.680 other dog? Peter Peter? Who's Ben? The previous dog? 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.520 Oh, I'm sorry, I really really blew with this one. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.079 Now you had been and Peter Wright. I think Ben 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.920 passed away, so Peter the new dog. All right, So 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.000 Peter was in front of my car. But Peter's okay, 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:37.880 last I checked. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.400 So yeah, we're taking on the Giants on Thursday night football. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.720 So now we get the mini buy. In week four, 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:50.240 we go to Pittsburgh to take on seemingly Mason Rudolph 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:51.200 and the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.960 I don't know. Is Mason Rudolf still the backup there? 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.120 I don't even know if he is. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.440 But we take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in week four, 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:01.480 the first four on the freaking road. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:02.000 That's right? 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.400 What are you doing to me? Is that a regular 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.559 Sunday nooner for us? 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.679 That is a Sunday nooner's Sunday for us. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.400 After the Thursday night game. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:14.720 Then week five, we're going back home, coming back home good. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.640 And two years ago, twenty twenty four, I channeled it 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.000 Week five and twenty twenty four we played the Buffalo Bills. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.680 But we will play on Sunday Night football. Okay, Texans 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.640 Bills Week five, Sunday Night Football. 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:31.960 Again. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:36.440 This is John Harris's twenty twenty six mock schedule. All right, 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.960 So so far two primetime games. You got the Amazon 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.120 primetime game against the Giants yep, and you got this 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.680 against the Bills on Sunday night football. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.520 So primetime both of our home games thus far. Yeah, 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.160 I like it, Okay, I like it. So we got 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.440 two of our four or five primetime games. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.520 Then this is when we'll take nerding on NFL. For now, 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.760 we'll take his or her word for it, and we'll 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:02.280 play the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Sunday, October eighteenth, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:02.600 with a. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:03.760 Bye week in week seven. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.480 Okay, wait a minute, so we're on week six right now. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.880 Six will play the Jaguars Week seven, will take the buy. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:16.520 So he had he had week six Jags at Wembley, 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.360 and the Tottenham Hotspur website or a website that deals 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.560 with Tottenham stadium dates, what did they have? 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.320 They had Let's see, they had Jaguars on the eleventh. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.880 They had Jaguars in the eleventh at Tottenham, which would 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.200 make sense because it's a home game for Jacksonville if 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.680 that's the case, If that's the truth, and the Jags 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.480 home is Wembley. So they played back to back games 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.080 in London this year, that's correct. One of them has 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.240 got to be at Tottenham because it's a road game. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.320 They need a road and a home. That works. 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.880 Yeah, that works, So math works according Now, look the 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.800 Matt I used to tell my kids this all the time. 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.160 There were certain things in a math equation you could 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.120 look at and know Okay, that doesn't make sense. It 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.280 doesn't tell you the answer is right. It just tells 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.200 you it can make sense exactly. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:05.160 What you do. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:09.640 Did so Week six at Jacksonville in London at Wembley, 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.240 Week seven the bye. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.240 How do you feel about a week seven by Because 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.560 if they're right, that's the case here and later six 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.480 it's better than week fourteen. I'd rather be eight nine 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.080 or ten, but it's it's an improvement. Everybody wants eight 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.480 nine or ten. We can't have, like Joe Burrow suggested, 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.520 everybody take a week off in the middle of the season. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.600 It's never gonna happen, so we'll have to live with it. Wait, 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.120 who's said that, Joe Burrow? 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:36.560 Week eight at home, comeing out of the bye, Cincinnati 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.120 Bengals and Joe Burrow? 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.040 Is that the time when the nagging Burrow injury flares up? 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.320 About then and we're gonna get another quarterback? 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.680 So I channeled a couple of years, like I said, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:53.240 into kind of my my scheduled thoughts. Well, we get 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:59.000 to week nine. Week nine through week fourteen is about 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.480 as tough as it could possibly get for the Texans. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.680 All right, so you're gonna go middle of the schedule. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:09.480 Week nine, Okay at Indianapolis. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.600 So take on the Bengals and then go to Indianapolis 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:13.520 the very next week. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.600 Oh, okay, week ten. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:19.440 Since I couldn't put it in Week three, I put 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.640 in Week ten the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night football. 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:23.439 I like it. 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:24.040 Okay. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:30.119 Week eleven, eleven, and twelve are tough. Eleven, twelve and 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:38.560 thirteen are just wow. Eleven at Philadelphia? Okay, twelve? Is 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.240 that a regular Sunday after. 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:41.959 Yeah, I got that as a regular noonor for right 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:43.560 now it could be a late afternoon. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:43.880 Yeah. 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:51.440 Week twelve at green Bay, so go to Philly. So 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.480 play Dallas on a Monday night, then go to Philly, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.879 then go to green Bay and return for Week thirteen 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.240 against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.919 For geez, that's a murderer who when I put it 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.000 down on paper, I went, son of a gun. That 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:09.760 is not. 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.239 Fun Johnny here the last three years for Burrow, by 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:13.560 the way, who starts this stretch? 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.239 Yep? Allegedly that's what That's where I put it. 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.080 The Texans definitely faced him in twenty twenty three at Cincinnati. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.040 He played ten games that year. The following year he 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:24.919
