Speaker 2: There's a lot of news going into this game, there's

00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: no question, and we're gonna hit all of that on

17
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: No Brown. Almost come no Smith. I called the same

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: Houston game last week and they had Noah Smith. Noah

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Smith made some big plays in that game, and then

20
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: on Sunday, No Brown made some big plays for the Texans.

21
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: But it's Noah Brown, New Jersey's finest. Gonna join Drew

22
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: Doherty here a little bit. He's gonna be in for

Speaker 2: a little pregame interview a little Drews Dozen Drew's also

24
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: got a little cutlet with Robert Woods. Bobby Drew also

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: caught up with James Palmer. That's gonna be fun a

26
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: little bit later the show. And we also had a

27
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: chance to catch up, as we teased last night, with

28
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: the General Ben McDaniel's wide receivers coach. He's done a

29
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: way of a job, so we'll catch up with Ben

30
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: a little bit later in the show.

31
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I got my keys, I got my picks, we got everything.

32
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: We got everything you could possibly want on a Friday,

33
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: and well we've got a really nasty injury report. We'll

34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: get to in a little bit, but we got to

35
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: kick off the show on a Friday like we always

36
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: do with the head ball coach himself, the Meek go

37
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: Ryan stepped in the studio with Mark this afternoon.

38
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 4: All right, coach, they've won four in a row, in

39
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 4: the last two they've been plus two in the turnover

40
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: department in each of those games. How important is ball security?

41
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 4: I know it's always important, but extra premium on that

42
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: in this one, right.

43
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 5: Definitely an extra premium this week. These guys, they get

44
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 5: after the ball. They attack the ball well all right

45
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 5: and coveras they do a really good job if you

46
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 5: if you mess up, they'll make you pay.

47
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 6: Right.

48
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 5: He do a good job of not only get in

49
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 5: the turnovers, but converting all right points off the turnovers.

50
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: So they do a good job of playing well together.

51
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: We have to protect the ball, protect the team, and

52
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: we have to be able to attack the ball on defense.

53
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: I know you want to cut down on penalties, but

54
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: you always want the guys playing on the edge and

55
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: with reckless abandon or whatever however you describe it.

56
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: How do you balance all that?

57
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is an edge that you must play with,

58
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 5: but there is a line that you just can't cross

59
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 5: and you have to know, right, how far can you go.

60
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 5: We want our guys playing physical, We want them swarm,

61
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: and we want them playing with an edge, right, And

62
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 5: I think that's what it takes right to really really

63
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: impact your opponent. They have to feel your physicality, they

64
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 5: have to feel your edge every time they touch the ball.

65
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 6: We want multiple guys. They're hitting these guys.

66
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: What are you seeing in this version of Joe Burrow

67
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: as he matures.

68
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: You're seeing a calm, You're seeing confidence, right, at the

69
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: line of scrim is being able to diagnose coverages right,

70
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 5: diagnose disguises people are disguised, and coverage but he still

71
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 5: has the ability, smart guy who can still figure it

72
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 5: out and put the ball exactly where it needs to be.

73
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 5: But Joe is definitely one of the top quarterbacks in

74
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 5: our league. Really like the way he's playing and what

75
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 5: he's doing in the offense right is moving because of

76
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: his leadership, because of his ability.

77
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: What about their defense? What are we looking at here?

78
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: They've given up some yards on the ground, but they

79
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: don't make it easy, right.

80
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: You can talk about the bend but don't break. But

81
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 5: you can run the ball on these guys that think

82
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 5: they've given up a lot of yard is in the

83
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 5: run game, right, But they are tight. They know when

84
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 5: their coverage is exactly where they're supposed to be. They

85
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: play well together. They're not gonna make many mistakes when

86
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: it comes to the passing game, and that's where they've

87
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 5: been really good. And when you get in the red zone, right,

88
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: they've done a great job of stopping people when they

89
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: get into the red zone. So we're gonna have to

90
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: take our opportunities, take our shots when we get it right.

91
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 5: Hopefully we can make them pay on those shots, but

92
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 5: if not, we have to methodically drive the ball down

93
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 5: the field. Got to find a way to muster some points.

94
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: Frank Ross was raving about their special teams group, saying,

95
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: this is a really solid established unit.

96
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: Right, well well coached on the special team side. These

97
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 5: guys again, you talk about their technique, their fundamentals, that's

98
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 5: what they play with, that's what they hang their hats on.

99
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: Again in a special teams phase, They're not gonna make mistakes,

100
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: They're not gonna miss a lot of blocks. They're gonna

101
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: be exactly where it's supposed to be. So we have

102
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 5: to be on it right. It's gonna be a really

103
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 5: good matchup when it comes to the special teams game,

104
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: and I think the punt the punt game is gonna

105
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 5: be where you know, we can flip this game right.

106
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: If we can get on our guys, get a block,

107
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: hopefully we can spring tank for an explosive and department

108
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 5: return right.

109
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: Learning to win consistently.

110
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: I know you want to see that, you want a

111
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: big one last week, but the Bengals I'm sure has

112
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: everybody's attention and you're ready for this one.

113
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: In a big, big way, right, big game all right

114
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: for us?

115
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: Because it's we're coming off of the win, right, and

116
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: can we put that aside?

117
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: Right?

118
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: Can we still lock in focus and play with that

119
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 5: desperate mindset like we have to get this win no

120
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 5: matter what it takes. And I think that's how you

121
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: continue to learn to win as a team. You have

122
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: to play with that confidence, play with that desperation each

123
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: and every snap and knowing that every play is important.

124
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: Coach, thanks a lot, good luck in this one.

125
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 3: Thanks Martin.

126
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, head ball coach is ready the voice of the

127
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: Texans Ready. Also ready.

128
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: Noah Brown, He stopped buying, talked to Drew Doherty and

129
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: gave some pregame thoughts about heading back to the state

130
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: in which he played his college.

131
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Ball, the state of Ohio. No Brown with Drew Dorty.

132
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: Let's go wide receiver. No Brown is the guest this week.

133
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: No good to be with you. You played on some

134
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: fantastic squads at Ohio State. Texans are playing in Cincinnati

135
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 3: this weekend. Before we get into the matchup, how special

136
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: is it going to be for you? You're a New

137
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: Jersey native, But how special is it going to be

138
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: to get back in front of the crowd where you played,

139
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: you know, in college.

140
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 7: It'll be pretty cool. Other than I think the Hall

141
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 7: of Fame game my rookie year. I don't think I've

142
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 7: played an NFL game in Ohio yet, so it'll be

143
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 7: cool to get back there and see some Ohio State fans.

144
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you played against the Bengals last year, had

145
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: a really nice day. Four catches, ninety one yards a touchdown.

146
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 3: Fun to play that team, And over the last three

147
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: here with the Texans, you've been explosive. He had a

148
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: thirty one yard or a thirty four arder in the

149
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: next game, the seventy five yard touchdown last weekend. In

150
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: that span since coming back from the injury, eleven catches

151
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty seven yards. You're good for twenty

152
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: two and a half a catch. What's going on?

153
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 7: I think just being able to come back off injury

154
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 7: reserve and hit the ground running. You know, I did

155
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 7: a good job and the training staff did a good

156
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 7: job getting me healthy here so that you know when

157
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 7: I came back, I had fresh legs and it was

158
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 7: ready to go.

159
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 6: You know, it's week six or something like that.

160
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 7: You know a lot of guys are starting to field

161
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 7: the season, and I think I came back at the

162
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 7: right time and you know, ready to execute.

163
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 3: What were you seeing as far as possibilities for yourself

164
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: and first possibilities for this offense in that span where

165
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: you're having to watch from the sidelines.

166
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, I mean just being able to kind of

167
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 7: take yourself out of it and see the offense as

168
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 7: a whole, see what we're lacking or what we're doing well.

169
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 7: And it was a good thing for me as far

170
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 7: as it gave me a chance to kind of learn

171
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 7: it all the other positions because in the summer I

172
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 7: was playing really one, so it gave me a chance

173
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 7: to kind of grasp the offense a little bit more

174
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 7: with me not being in it.

175
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: You just brought up something there the summer. We heard

176
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: CJ Stroud talking about how meaningful it was throwing with

177
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: you guys over the summer. How meaningful was it for you?

178
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 7: It's huge, as you know, first time playing with CJ,

179
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 7: first time being in this offense. The more repetitions you

180
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 7: can get with the guys you're going to be in

181
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 7: there with the you know, the better.

182
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 6: Off you are on Sundays. And I think it's paying

183
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 6: off how.

184
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: Much growth do you think this offense still has thirty

185
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: nine points to a lot. But we heard you guys

186
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: almost to a man, every one of you say, hey,

187
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: we still have some things we can improve upon. What

188
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: are those things?

189
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 6: Just consistency.

190
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 7: I think we do a good job capitalizing on our

191
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 7: plays when they're there. But I think and some of

192
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 7: the sloppier looks consistenty and your technique can still get

193
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 7: to play through and make a positive play for us.

194
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 7: So I think that's something that we can continue to

195
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 7: strive to get better at.

196
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: This is a really good Bengals team. They've got an

197
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: MVP candidate in Joe Burrow the quarterback. Let's talk about

198
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: their defense. What do you see in that secondary that

199
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: as you most impressed.

200
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, they're just a sound defense.

201
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 7: You know, there's not too many times they're just going

202
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 7: to be out of position or blowing the coverage or

203
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 7: something like that. So it's good defense is going to

204
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 7: compete and challenge everything, and we're up.

205
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 6: For the challenge.

206
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 3: How much do you guys enjoy the challenge of playing

207
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: on the road as an offense.

208
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 6: It's huge.

209
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 7: I think that you know your success on the road

210
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 7: as an offense speaks to you know how locked in

211
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 7: you are on the game plan and how much you

212
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 7: guys trust each other in communication because you know it

213
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 7: can get loud and you know, making cans and stuff

214
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 7: like that. You guys got to be on it. So

215
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 7: I think it's a great challenge for offense and we're

216
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 7: looking forward to it.

217
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: You're a young man twenty seven years old, but you've

218
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: got six seasons of NFL experience. Now, how much have

219
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: you found being on a new team. You found yourself

220
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: to be a bit of a vocal leader? Is it much?

221
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: Is it little? I mean, where's what's it like there?

222
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 7: I kind of picked my spots vocally. I'm not too

223
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 7: much of a vocal guy and never really have it.

224
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 7: But you know, I take pride in doing things the

225
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 7: right way and trying to lead by example, you know,

226
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 7: any way I can help it that way, I do

227
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 7: my best too.

228
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: Playing back in Ohire is going to be anybody special

229
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: in the crowd there watching you this weekend.

230
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 7: A couple of old teammates from Ohio State to be

231
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 7: out there, but other than that, not too many.

232
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 6: I don't have any family out there or anything.

233
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 3: All right, Well, Noah Brown, best of luck, against the Bengals.

234
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: Best of luck the rest of the way.

235
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: We appreciate the time, sir, appreciate you having all right,

236
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 2: great stuff there from dmko Ryans and New Jersey's finest

237
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: Noah Brown. Like the fact that we've had no on

238
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: the air a few times this week.

239
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: Mark.

240
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: Some news broke this afternoon, wand Miko is sitting now

241
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: at the media literally right in the middle of the

242
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: media session. He reported that t Higgins and Sam Hubbard

243
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: both out out for the Bengals. Your gut reaction to

244
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: those two, one on each side of the ball being out.

245
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: I think that Jamar Chase needs to take the day

246
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 4: off too, just for his own safety and health, because

247
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: he's got two big ones coming up here, Johnny with

248
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: the Ravens and the Steelers. So why not rest your

249
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: back for those outings? Yes, and you know it's just

250
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: the Texans. You know he can sit this one out. Look,

251
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: that's nice. But I learned a long time ago it

252
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 4: doesn't matter if Burrow doesn't play. That's something, right, Yes,

253
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: that's something I am old enough to remember Brandon Allen

254
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: coming in here in twenty twenty and lighting up the

255
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: Houston Texans.

256
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: I thought all.

257
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: Right, it's been a horrible season. But if nothing else,

258
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: you're gonna beat the Bengals with Brandon Allen. No, you aren't,

259
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 4: not apparently as that game was that in the high

260
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 4: thirties or something like that. Yeah, a lot of points

261
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 4: scored in that game. Texas couldn't stop Brandon Allen.

262
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Look, this is a different team.

263
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: I get it completely, but I don't get too caught

264
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 4: up in that stuff. It does help a bit though,

265
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 4: Hubbard along the D line, and obviously t Higgins with

266
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 4: his playmaking ability. It would be nice if Chase was out,

267
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 4: but Burrow's playing any super solid and Johnny we talked

268
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 4: about it with Demiko right there. Ball security so important

269
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 4: for this one, and I am just hoping that they

270
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: have shaken off. We talk about flushing it after a loss,

271
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 4: flush the win, flush it. It will live forever in

272
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: our memories and we can reminisce about it for years

273
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 4: to come. But right now, these guys need to be

274
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 4: dialed into the Bengals because this is crucial.

275
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: That game against Tampa Bay was so epic.

276
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 4: I feel like you need a month just to talk

277
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: about it because there were so many things that happened

278
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: along the way. There were so many little plays that

279
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 4: you forget about. Sometimes your Texans matchup show that slip

280
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: by the way.

281
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: So I think that.

282
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: They'll be ready because they've been through it before a

283
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: few times this season. In the effort to win back

284
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 4: to back, they need to be at their very best

285
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: obviously to beat the Bengals and shake off whatever feeling

286
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: you had about the win against Tampa Bay. Other than this,

287
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 4: Other than this, the fact that you can overcome adversity

288
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 4: and how handy that is. You know you can do it,

289
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: and I think that's a big confidence booster in this

290
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: game and games to come.

291
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that game happened in twenty twenty with

292
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: Brandon Allen and the Bengals. For some reason why, I

293
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: don't know why, I'm not seeing it on the schedule.

294
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was later in the year, but I

295
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: could be wrong.

296
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Later.

297
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a week sixteen, okay, thirty seven to

298
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: thirty one, Yeah, thirties.

299
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: I knew, and I knew it was up there.

300
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: But it was Brandon Allen, former razorback slicing you up.

301
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: You want to hear his numbers?

302
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead. It was colossal. What he did that day.

303
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: Twenty nine of thirty seven, two touchdowns, three hundred and

304
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: seventy one yards a rating of one twenty six point five.

305
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: T Higgins did catch six passes for ninety nine yards

306
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: and a touchdown. Former Texan great Alex Erickson had six

307
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: for eighty eight in that game. Oh and AJ Green

308
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: had four for sixty four in that game.

309
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: So Texan great Alex Erickson, he got him the next year,

310
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 4: right right, We got him the following Yeah, we got

311
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: him in twenty wasn't that he was?

312
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: No?

313
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: I said that in jest.

314
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: Drew Sample had one catch against US for eight yards

315
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: and went for a touchdown, just like the other night

316
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: against the Bills.

317
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 4: Not to be crucised with Joe Sample, former jazz musician

318
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 4: who's from Houston.

319
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Three people have gotten that. Yeah, I would not have

320
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: gotten that. I could have.

321
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: I would have been here all day. You could have

322
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 2: given me all kinds of hints and I would have

323
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: I would have never gotten that. I think the I

324
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: think both of them, those those absences will be felt.

325
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: I feel like there are two ways where app you know, hey,

326
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: this guy is out of the game. Like we've played,

327
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: We've played eaves. Teams have played us. You know, we

328
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: had what Lamry Tunel out of the Pittsburgh Steelers game. Yeah,

329
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: and we played Austin Deculus and Jared Christian against Alex

330
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: Heighsmith all day and gave up zero sacks.

331
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Is that did that really happen? It did happen?

332
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: That was that was as against the Steelers and you

333
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 4: held them to six points and you just rolled right.

334
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: I saw it with my own eyes. I don't know

335
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: about your eyes. I saw it with my eyes.

336
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: It happened. Point being, you can have kind of one

337
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: here one there.

338
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: I think where the Texans are the Texans are up

339
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: against it is they have.

340
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: So many, so many, so many.

341
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 4: But Johnny one goes out, another comes in, you have

342
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: a Nico problem. Woods comes back. Things like that happening.

343
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 4: Right linebackers. You know we were worried about Cashman maybe

344
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 4: earlier in the week, Well, don't worry as much. Right

345
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: things happen to replace the player that you're missing. So look,

346
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: and in the course of last week's game, you lost

347
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 4: your place kicker and a running back kicked the field goal.

348
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: This team can do that.

349
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: So they feel very confident and I think that they're

350
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: coming together. Remember the Bill O'Brien Thanksgiving thing. Look, I

351
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 4: don't know where this is going at four and for

352
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: I don't know where it's going. I got a feeling

353
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: they're gonna be able to at least hang at the

354
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: five hundred level for a while, right, But we'll see,

355
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: And I'm hoping for a whole lot better, by the way,

356
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: because I think it has This team has the potential

357
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: to go on a little run at some point and

358
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: really make it interesting.

359
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: But we'll see how it plays out.

360
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 8: We don't know.

361
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 4: We don't have a crystal ball, but the Bill O'Brien

362
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving thing. They are not who they are gonna be yet.

363
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: And I say that very carefully here, especially a young team, right,

364
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 4: what is their identity? It's in progress, it really is,

365
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 4: And last week was a big building block toward whatever

366
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: identity they ultimately establish here. If they're gonna go on

367
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 4: a winning streak, you get the feeling they're gonna need

368
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: to run the ball at some point a lot better

369
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: than they are now. But when you have the man

370
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: with the Golden arm, maybe you can win more.

371
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Than you lose that way, and I'm eager to see it.

372
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any question that you were talking

373
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: about foreign you know, Texas being four and four, and

374
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: I heard something Sean Seth talking about this today, and

375
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: I think it's easy for a lot of us to go, dang,

376
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: it won those games in Carolina and Atlanta, and then.

377
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: We'd be six and two.

378
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: I think four and four is exactly where this team

379
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: probably should be because it very easily the States could

380
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: have easily scored and it got in the end zone

381
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: and won that game.

382
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: You could have lost last week. Yeah, it could have

383
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: lost last week.

384
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: I think here's here's the thing, though, Atlanta and Carolina

385
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 4: should have what it could.

386
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Have been a split? Okay, that I agree with.

387
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 4: After watching Carolina Thursday night football, I thought, how did

388
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: this happen?

389
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: All right?

390
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: So unexplained things, how they built the pyramids, Stonehenge, what

391
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: happened to the Lost City of Atlantis, and how the

392
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers beat the Texans. Those are all in the

393
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: same group to me. Okay, Stonehenge is interesting really if

394
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 4: you think about it.

395
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: Student, But you think that just some guys decided, hey,

396
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: we're going to carry a bunch of really big boulders

397
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: and like put it in this in this circle, and.

398
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 4: Like my ten year old is obsessed with stoneheads, really

399
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 4: special about how they can transport those stones from another

400
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 4: island in the British Isles and bring them over. But

401
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: it was gonna be a big hassle. But it could

402
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: have happened. It could have worked. Look, I don't believe

403
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: in aliens building stoneheads of the pyramids. I'm not one

404
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: of those people. Somehow it happened. I don't know how

405
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: they did it, and.

406
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: You got it.

407
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: I think what's fascinating and looking just at the AFC

408
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: AFC back to AFCA is there's one, two, three. There

409
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: are four teams that have six wins or better. I mean,

410
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: it's not a whole heck of a lot.

411
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: Kansas City, Kansas City, Baltimore Jags, Dolphins, Baltimore Jags, Dolphins.

412
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the four teams that have six wins, that's

413
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: and you, I mean you were now the Dolphins have

414
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: played nine games. You only played eight. The Ravens have

415
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: played in nine. You beat the Jaguars they've played eight,

416
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs have played nine. So you could be

417
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 2: within a game or two of those teams, depending on

418
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: you know, obviously what happens this weekend, and it's it's

419
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: weird because maybe we're just out of practice thinking about

420
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: what could be down the road, playoffs potentially, all that

421
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But there's such a glut in the

422
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: AFC of teams at four and four, four and five,

423
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: five and three, like in that mix, and you just, man,

424
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: you wish you could knock off one of those five

425
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: and three teams. Now you've beaten the Steelers and you

426
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 2: beat the six or two Jags, But if you could

427
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: knock off the Bengals and make them five and four

428
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: and you're five and four, now you've got tiebreaker over them,

429
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: got tiebreaker over the Steelers, and you're gonna play the

430
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna play Cleveland.

431
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: So you could have that opportunity there. But I just

432
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

433
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: The more that I've thought about this game, I don't

434
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't mind being the underdog. I don't mind for

435
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: everybody in the NFL network saying we're picking the Bengals.

436
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: I kind of think this team likes it that way.

437
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this team is still sort of trying

438
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: to figure out how it plays as a favorite. But

439
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: I think as an underdog, they love to show and

440
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: prove those people wrong.

441
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this because you and I won't

442
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 4: have a chance to talk before Sunday on the air

443
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: during the broadcast. But when you look at the way

444
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 4: the Bengals have gotten their five victories, and it's been

445
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 4: a little bit different every time, but the last two

446
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: in particular, taking the ball away, holding onto the ball,

447
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: and Burrow went nuts at San Francisco. Through the year,

448
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 4: it threw for over three hundred yards against the forty

449
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 4: nine ers. We all know that's tough to do. I

450
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 4: still think that they're a little different, and Demico Ryan's

451
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 4: talked about this with the media, a little different than

452
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: they were a couple of years ago. But it's a

453
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: good different for them. It's working for them. And Burrow's

454
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: more mature. He just said it in the interview. So

455
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: how do we look at the Bengals here in this situation.

456
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: They're mature enough to know don't have a look ahead

457
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: game and blow it here because you have two divisional

458
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 4: games right in the crosshairs after the Houston Texans leave town.

459
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: Yet I've just like with CJ. Straud, this is a

460
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: great equalizer of sorts.

461
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 4: When you have a guy who can just torch people

462
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: through the air like this, that comes in very handy.

463
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: And they talk about defense traveling, Well, yes it does,

464
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: but so does a good aerial attack if you could

465
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 4: be on the mark and look the bodies change a

466
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 4: little bit time to time.

467
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: Injuries.

468
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 4: You know, you played without Tank Dell for a couple

469
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: of games earlier. Whatever it was, you were able to

470
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: overcome that on occasion. Let's see if they could do

471
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: it this week without Nico and whatever they put together.

472
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

473
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I mean you're right, the great equalizers is

474
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 2: having number seven. And I you know, I look at

475
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 2: this Bengals defense. I think for me, the first three

476
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: four games, I just don't even I don't even consider

477
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: Burrow isn't healthy. The Titans beat them twenty seven to three.

478
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds blow them out. It doesn't make

479
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense. I mean that's six first

480
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: downs against the Browns.

481
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, six.

482
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: I mean Burro couldn't even move Burrow. The key for

483
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: them is Burrow is back to being Joe Burrow. Now

484
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: it'd be without te Higgins, that's one of the weapons.

485
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: But through seven or eight other receivers the other day. Yeah,

486
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 2: So I'm not I just I just think the Bengals

487
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: are in such a groove. You have to disrupt it

488
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: in some way, shape or form. You have to do

489
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: something a little different. But what the Bills couldn't do

490
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: was they couldn't bring Burrow down. But they also didn't

491
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: force him to make quick decisions. They Joe made quick

492
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: decisions on his own, but he'd get out of the pocket.

493
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: They got some they got him to move.

494
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just couldn't finish it. I think you've got

495
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: to You got to hit him a little bit. You've

496
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: got to just knock him around a little bit. I'm

497
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: not saying illegal, I'm just saying knock him around a

498
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: little bit. You got to get guys back there. You

499
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: might have to bring six against five. You know, you

500
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: might have to roll the dice a little bit and

501
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: place the man coverage, maybe have a couple of fire zones,

502
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: and just change the look for the offense live. I

503
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: still don't think the offensive line is great for them. Well,

504
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: I still don't let.

505
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 4: Me ask you this though, because the Texans had a

506
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 4: couple of wins earlier. You held the Jacks to seventeen

507
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: in their building, but held the Steelers to six. And

508
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: I know the Steelers offense isn't the Bengals offense, But

509
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: how did they do it? And this is a completely

510
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 4: different situation, but it reminds me of it because going

511
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: to Cincinnati in twenty fifteen, the Texans held the Bengals

512
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: to six points in their building and undefeated at the time,

513
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: Bengals team with a lot of weapons, a lot going

514
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: for them, they were eight in oher and you held

515
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 4: them to six points. And this is a Texans team

516
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 4: that two games prior gave up one hundred and fifty

517
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 4: points to Miami.

518
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: No, what was it.

519
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: It was a lot of points in its fifties whatever,

520
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 4: it was forty two and half, forty two at the half,

521
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 4: forty two.

522
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: At the half. Yeah, sorry to bring that up.

523
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 4: And then two games later you're holding the Bengals to

524
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: six and eight. No Bengals team in their place, So

525
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: anything can happen.

526
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: The d could suddenly come up with a great performance here.

527
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: You just don't know.

528
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: Look, you talk about Jamar Chase, t Higgins, t Higgins out,

529
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase still playing. Look a few weeks ago we

530
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: went to Carolina. Do their receivers scare you a bunch?

531
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: Except for Thielan No, No, Mingo had a good game

532
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 4: against the Texans and he couldn't do anything last night.

533
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: So you just don't know. In this league, be it

534
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: your best Noon Sunday. You get the most positive, motivating

535
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 4: coach out there.

536
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: Let us see what he can do with these guys.

537
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's gonna be a fun one. There's no doubt

538
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: about it. Now, I will give you my specific keys

539
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: to will win over the Bengals next and it does

540
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: include Jamar Chase playing, but T Higgins is not. Does

541
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: that change my keys? We'll find out next right here

542
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: in Texas All Access.

543
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,480

547
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: into my keys to the game, a big one against Cincinnati.

548
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: It's interesting when this game was, uh, well, when the

549
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: schedule is announced and I looked at this game. When

550
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: this was I was like, this could be an interesting

551
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: one for a number of different reasons.

552
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: All right, Smike smack dab in the middle of the year,

553
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: could injuries play a role? Yes? You know what were

554
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: the teams records going to be? Are They're gonna be hot. Yes,

555
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: what's c J. Strov gonna be at this point? I mean,

556
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: is he gonna make this one of the best quarterback

557
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: duels of the weekend.

558
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, this is gonna be fun on a lot

559
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: of different levels. This is a very good football team

560
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: the Texans are facing now. Before we get into the Keys,

561
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: and these feed into the Keys, the injury report.

562
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: And this is kind of ugly. It's kind of ugly.

563
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: And by kind of ugly, I mean like really ugly.

564
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: Texans have No.

565
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: Six and seven, but eight players out in this one,

566
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: and they include Andrew Beck ankle, elbow's shoulder out, not

567
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: participate practice all week. Nico Collins his CAF got worse.

568
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: He went from limited to d m P DMP.

569
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: He's out.

570
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: Kicker Kyme Fairbairn famously out from last weekend. That continues

571
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: the quad. Jake Hanson linebacker out, hamstring in hand, Revin

572
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: George still out with the foot, Damian Pierce dealing with

573
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: the ankle.

574
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: He's still out. Henry Toatoa had a concussion, has a concussion.

575
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: He is out. He's in the protocol.

576
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 2: Jimmy Ward hamstring out. On top of Harry Hassan Ridgeway,

577
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: and m J. Stewart who put on ir after last

578
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: week's game. Wow, Now there are a few names I

579
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: didn't mention. They're questionable. Stephen Nelson did not practice all

580
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: week dealing with a back neck, He's questionable. Jerry Hughes

581
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 2: the full participant in practice today dealing with a back.

582
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: He's also listened as questionable. Robert Woods, who will hear

583
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: from a little bit later in the show. He is

584
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: also questionable. But I got a feeling that Robert Wood's

585
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: gonna play. Those are all full participants.

586
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: Man, the full participant list is just so long. This

587
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: injury board is just my god.

588
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: Now the Bengals side of life is not all about

589
00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: of Roses T. Higgins excellent wide receiver for the Bengals.

590
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: There number two Guy hamstring out, Sam Hubbard the counter

591
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: to Trey Hendrickson on the other side ankle out.

592
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: Those are big for the Bengals. Doubtful Josh Tupeau.

593
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: I've never seen a doubtful play, so you're almost canna

594
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: assume he's gonna be out defensive lineman his shoulder. Charlie

595
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: Jones wide receiver, punt returner. He with a thumb issue.

596
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: Really speedy rookie from Purdue. He's questionable last and certainly

597
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: not at least as Jamar Chase. You saw him on

598
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 2: Sunday night fall hard on a deep ball. There has

599
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: been a lot of conjecture, a lot of talk he's

600
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: less as questionable. There are many who think he won't play.

601
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: There are some that think he's gonna give it a shot.

602
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: So when we get to our keys, it's gonna be

603
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: kind of a big old question mark. So let's get

604
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: to our keys. There's your injury report. Let's get to

605
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: our keys. Let's talk about that Bengals offense. First, Bengals

606
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: are five and three. We know that the offense is.

607
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: It's interesting, seventy six yards per game on the ground.

608
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: They're last in the NFL rushing passing game. They're two

609
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: sixteen yards per gain, it's eighteenth. Now, the last two

610
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: games they've gone over three ninety seven total offense and

611
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 2: both ran it pretty well against the Niners, not as

612
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: much against the Bills. But they've only turned over six

613
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: times and they're plus nine to turna of margins, So

614
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: that really kind of amps things up. Now you know

615
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: the names, you've watched the Bengals in the Super Bowl

616
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: Burrow Mix and Chase Higgins Boyd. They also added Orlando

617
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 2: Brown Junior this year to bolster up the line.

618
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: So let's get to the.

619
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: Keys, and let's start with Joe Burrow first. This guy's calm,

620
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 2: he's cool, he's poised. He handles anything that comes his way,

621
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: and he can whatever you take away from him, he'll

622
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: take something else.

623
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: Well, you want to take this away from me, I'll

624
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: do this. You drop eight. I'll throw checkdowns all day.

625
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: That be a running game.

626
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: You take the checkdowns away and you clamp down, you

627
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: strap down on shorter intermediate routes, I'll go deep.

628
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: He can beat you in a lot of different ways.

629
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: But I think to beat him, I think you have

630
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: to disrupt his rhythm and tempo in some way, shape

631
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: or form.

632
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: And he gets the bills.

633
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: He got in a rhythm early just throwing some short

634
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: just old dart throws his tight ends to his backs.

635
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: He got Jo Mix it involved in the passing game early.

636
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: That makes it get the ball in space.

637
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: That seemed to work, and that troubles me because there

638
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: are a lot of different ways that he can get

639
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: the ball to his guys.

640
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: He threw it. I think eight different receivers. Now Higgins

641
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: was one of them.

642
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: He's out. If it's second key, that's Jamar Chase. And

643
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 2: I don't really know what to think about Tamar Chase.

644
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: He's questionable. If he's healthy, he's got the full packet size,

645
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: speed ball skills, confidence, we're oute running. He's got a

646
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: connection with Joe Burrow. He has it all, but no

647
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 2: Tee Higgins. You might be able to double team Jamar Chase.

648
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: We'll see if Chase is gonna give it a go.

649
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: This might be a wait and see until ninety minutes

650
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: beforehand and see whether he can go. If he can't go,

651
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: then the Texans get to key number three. You gotta

652
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: get the pressure on Joe Burrow. I don't care how

653
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: you do it.

654
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: The Browns move Miles Garrett all over the place.

655
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: Texas don't really have a guy that can do that,

656
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: So they're gonna have to do it with their scheme.

657
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: Scheming up, get into exotics on third down, those kind

658
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: of things. There might be some things that they're gonna

659
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: be able to do, but they got to get some

660
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: pressure on Joe Burrow. Defensively, Bengals give up one hundred

661
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: and thirty yards per game on the ground.

662
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 1: They give up two hundred and thirty four through the air.

663
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: That's twenty second in the league.

664
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: Total offensive go three to sixty four or twenty seventh

665
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: in the league, but they have fifteen turnovers generated. And

666
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: that's the big key. Trey Hendrickson's a stud. He's the

667
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: big key with no Sam Hubbard. He is tremendously difficult

668
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: to block. He slides underneath blocks. He's long, he's strong,

669
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: he's quick, He's everything you want to edge rusher.

670
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: He is really tough. Texas got to take care of him.

671
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: Some chips, some doubles might be needed, maybe the m

672
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: He's got it on his own, but Trey Henderson is tough.

673
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: Secondly, he got a block. DJ Reader simple as that.

674
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: There's really nobody on the Bengals defense that scares me

675
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: more than DJ Reader.

676
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I love my keenumber three. I love

677
00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: ke number one.

678
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Hendrickson k number one. I'll get the three in the second,

679
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: but DJ reaiders the one. If you want run the ball,

680
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: you got a block. Ninety eight got to and then

681
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: finally the slot guy, Mike Hilton. He's five seven five

682
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: eight one seventy five point eight small sky in the field,

683
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: and he's arguably the best pound for pound player on

684
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: the field.

685
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: He makes plays all over the field. He's incredibly difficult

686
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: to prepare for.

687
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: In twenty seventeen with the Steelers, he blitzed us and

688
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 2: had three sacks at five eight one hundred eighty pounds.

689
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: He can kill the game. He can flat out kill

690
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: the game. Texans can't let it. There are your keys

691
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: to the game.

692
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: We get back which ot with Ben McDaniels in a

693
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: little Bobby Trees, Robert Woods as well on Texans All Access.

694
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Friday initiative Texans All Access from the

695
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: Today Texans Radio studio. I am your host, John Harris,

696
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: football analyst, sideline reporter, and I and Mark Vandermier were

697
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: lucky enough to catch up with wide receivers coach Ben McDaniels.

698
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: Great stuff. We love Ben in the studio. I think

699
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: we could go non football with Ben and we'd have

700
00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: a really good time.

701
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: But we talked a lot of ball, uh, and then

702
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: Mark had a little kind of off the wall question

703
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: at the end and answered it about the way I expected.

704
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: I had a feeling that this is going to be

705
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: the answer, and I'll tell you why. But here's Ben

706
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: McDaniels with me and Mark.

707
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 4: I'm visiting with us now in the hun Day Texans

708
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: Radio studio. It is passing game coordinator and wide receivers

709
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 4: coach Ben McDaniels.

710
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 8: Coach.

711
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: How's it going doing good?

712
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: Hey?

713
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: Did the receivers do anything this week? This is this

714
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: is interesting.

715
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 4: What did you make of that epic day? You have

716
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 4: three guys go over one hundred yards?

717
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: It was amazing?

718
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was.

719
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 9: It was a great day. Credit to those guys. Uh,

720
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 9: making the plays when it's your turn, you know. We

721
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 9: talk about that, and I think I think that day

722
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 9: was a credit to that. You don't always know, you know.

723
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 9: You know, there's some plays that we might we might

724
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 9: draw up and and and hope that the ball goes

725
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 9: to a certain place early in the progression, but you

726
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 9: really don't know. But but uh, yeah, those those guys

727
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 9: executed well and in some critical spots, which is the

728
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 9: thing to me that really separates you know, yourself in

729
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 9: a game like that, being able to make the plays

730
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 9: when required. We talked about it as competitive excellence. You know,

731
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 9: it's my turn, I can make it. I do make

732
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 9: it in critical.

733
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Spots, coach.

734
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: Outside, looking in, it appears that each and every one

735
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: of those guys in the room, yes, they're happy for themselves,

736
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: but they're almost even happier for their teammates for making

737
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: the plays. You know, Niko has three catches the other

738
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 2: day for fifty four yards. You think, okay, well he's

739
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: gonna be one of the hundred, right, and he's not.

740
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: But it felt like Nico was just as happy for

741
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: everybody else making the plays. It feels like that's the

742
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: kind of room you have, which and it was they

743
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: stereotype of wide receiver, their divas and want theirs, all

744
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, But it feels like these guys

745
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: are happy for each other when they're making the place.

746
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 9: You're right, whatever you see, You're right in what you're

747
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 9: seeing and watching. They really enjoy each other's successes, celebrate

748
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 9: each other's successes. It's a credit to building that room,

749
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 9: you know, and and I have you know, a small

750
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 9: piece in that, but a credit to everybody else with

751
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 9: with Meek and and Nick, you know, putting the right

752
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 9: people in that room that that are that that type

753
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 9: of player, that type of personality, and and it's good

754
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 9: for our team.

755
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: Ben McDaniels with us.

756
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: Is there any better play to show on the board

757
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 4: as far as teamwork, execution the end result than the

758
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 4: Noah Brown seventy five yarder because you get the block

759
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 4: by Dell, you get an outstanding toe tap down the

760
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: sideline for a seventy five yard score.

761
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: Amazing stuff. Yeah, it was, It was.

762
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 9: It was a great reaction by Tank to find work.

763
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 9: We talked about finding work when we don't get the

764
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 9: ball and and he had a great reaction to that.

765
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 9: He probably won't appreciate me saying that I actually don't

766
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 9: think he should have been quite there. I'd have liked

767
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 9: him to be deeper down the field. But his response

768
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 9: and his will and unselfishness to help the play, that's

769
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 9: that's how Tanks built.

770
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: Coach Robert Woods just having a veteran of his status

771
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: and you know, missed him the last couple of weeks.

772
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: What's it like having Robert here and how has he

773
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: helped the group? The fact that he's been around, he's

774
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: as they say that he's seen some things. But what's

775
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: it like having Robert and what's it like having him

776
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: potentially back? He's back in practice on Thursday. What's it

777
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: kind of been to have Robert in the.

778
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 9: Room all the things that you ask me about about

779
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 9: the room and how it's made up, and you know,

780
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 9: things that you get to watch on the field that

781
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 9: shows itself. He's you know, he's made up of all

782
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 9: those things and he he's responsible to lead that room

783
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 9: and he does, and he's a He's a great example

784
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 9: really in every way, both from a football talent standpoint,

785
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 9: which is its own thing, but approach to the game, unselfishness,

786
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 9: just being a great teammate and leader.

787
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: Which is why is it captain?

788
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 8: Well?

789
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 4: A lot of said about CJ and Tank Dell having

790
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 4: a friendship, and I know CJ gets along with everybody,

791
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: but having a friendship, what does that kind of thing mean?

792
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 4: As far as chemistry goes? And then onto that ben,

793
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 4: how do you develop chemistry? How does it start?

794
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: Is it organic? Is it there or not? How can

795
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: you develop it and nurture it?

796
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

797
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 1: I think it's all those things.

798
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 9: I think some of it's natural, some of it is organic,

799
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 9: but you definitely have to put the time into you know,

800
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 9: just you just can't hope that it's that way, and

801
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 9: you got to put the time in on the field

802
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 9: and off the field, and that's the credit to those guys.

803
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 8: I would agree.

804
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 9: I feel like every time, you know, you know, CJ

805
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 9: kind of feels that way about everybody, you know, So

806
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 9: it's a credit to him putting in the time with

807
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 9: his teammates.

808
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: Coach.

809
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: One of the things we're talking to Nico, it's probably

810
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: a few weeks back, and we're talking about yards after

811
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: the catch and we're talking about how that's become really

812
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: a big deal for him, and he said, yeah, you know,

813
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: the coaches talk to me and we talk about that

814
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: all the time. When I turn up after I make

815
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: it catch, I'm six four two fifteen, Hey, like run

816
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: the damn ball, you know, become a running back. What

817
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: was a kind of coaching point to him about that

818
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: was as simple as catch the.

819
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: Ball, turn up and run. Was as simple as that

820
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: in some.

821
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 9: Ways, yeah, in some ways, Like every guy has different traits,

822
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 9: you know, every guy's built differently, but Nico's built a

823
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 9: certain way that if he's if he's carrying significant speed,

824
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 9: speed equals power for him, and both of those things

825
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 9: are paining the ass on the defense.

826
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 8: Yep.

827
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 9: So to be able to tackle somebody that's running fast.

828
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 9: Carrying a lot of speed and power is to his advantage.

829
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 9: So it's just it's really just stressing that to him

830
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 9: and really awesome to see him take off with it

831
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 9: and make it part of his game.

832
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 4: Ben McDaniels with US Passing game Coordinator and receivers coach coach.

833
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: How does the offense evolve from week to week? You're

834
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 4: in training camp, you don't know what you're going to

835
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 4: going to be running week ten, but you know you

836
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 4: have your plays and do you prune some plays off

837
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: the play tree as the season goes on add others?

838
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: How do you handle that week to week as you

839
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 4: roll through the season.

840
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, most most defenses dictate, you know, where the pruning starts,

841
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 9: you know, and where you pull from the library. You know,

842
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 9: we talk about that a lot of playbooks or libraries,

843
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 9: you know, right, and you pull you pull different pieces

844
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 9: at different times, and the defense really dictates you know,

845
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 9: a lot of things that way. We certainly have some

846
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 9: things that find their way into most game plans regardless,

847
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 9: but definitely every week you're looking to just fine tune

848
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 9: and put you know, specifically what needs to be in

849
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 9: that plan relative to the defense.

850
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 4: Is it the Dewey decimal system in the library. Is

851
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 4: that a dated reference reference? Okay, very dated, very okay,

852
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 4: but you know it.

853
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm old enough to know it. I've got an iPhone.

854
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: That's my corner spencer. Oh, he knows.

855
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 3: We're good.

856
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: Coach Bengals.

857
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: This week, Condund gone to change its safety with Jesse

858
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 2: Bates now being in Atlanta and some other some other

859
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: pieces have changed around a little bit. But they got

860
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: one of my favorite players of all time, Mike hil

861
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: Him back there. The plays the slot. What are you

862
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: kind of seeing from the secondary of the Bengals and

863
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: what makes them a tough matchup this weekend?

864
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

865
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 9: Uh, young and talented players with a mix like you're

866
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 9: talking about of a veteran or two that that adds

867
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 9: significant value to the secondary, the young guys out on

868
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 9: the edge. I was with DJ Turner at Michigan and

869
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 9: know some of what he's about, and obviously they think

870
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 9: highly of him. And uh, and then Camp Taylor britt

871
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 9: second year player, really physical, really confident in who he

872
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 9: is as a player. He's made He's made a bunch

873
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 9: of plays already this year. And then the same eighties

874
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 9: are are interchangeable in a lot of ways and do

875
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 9: a lot of things for them and have have talent

876
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 9: of their own right. So young talented with some veteran presence,

877
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 9: you know, and it's a tough challenge for us.

878
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: Coach.

879
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 4: You talked about finding work and the blocking part of

880
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 4: the receiver game is so important in the running game

881
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 4: or anything else. Obviously, Yak, as we saw let this

882
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: past Sunday, how hard is it to get certain guys

883
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 4: to buy in. Maybe not on this team because it

884
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 4: looks like everybody's into it on this team, but overall,

885
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 4: that willingness has to be there in addition to the execution.

886
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 9: I mean, I just stress in our room that we're

887
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 9: trying to impact the game on seventy plays a game,

888
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 9: and you know, I mean it's you know, on average,

889
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 9: somewhere in that in that range. And man, if we're

890
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 9: not if we're not really trying to impact the game,

891
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 9: you know, on seventy plays a game, I'm not really

892
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 9: sure what we're trying to do out there. So whether

893
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 9: it's in a running game, whether it's in a passing game,

894
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 9: whether it's you know, finding work. Because I didn't get

895
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 9: the ball thrown to me, man, I still have a

896
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 9: chance to impact the game in a positive way. You know,

897
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 9: football is fun that way, you know, and and it's

898
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 9: really awesome when there's there's guys that take that to heart.

899
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 2: Coach, we talked about the young guys, talking about T,

900
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: talk about Nico. How about a veteran Noah Brown. What

901
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: he's brought to you know, first game against Baltimore, gets hurt,

902
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: he's gone for four weeks and the offense kind of

903
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: started to fight us UF a little bit, and I know,

904
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: Markt I talked about, Okay, I know's coming back, Like

905
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: what is he what's he kind of bringing to the offense?

906
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 2: And then bang it's a deep over route against the

907
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: Saints And then every game since he's made big plays,

908
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 2: culminating in that game against the Buccaneers last week.

909
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: What's Noah brought to this offense? Yeah?

910
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 9: Knowas what you're watching on the field is really how

911
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 9: he's built. He's tough, he's fast, and he's strong, and

912
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 9: he plays that way at all times, whether it's in

913
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 9: a passing game or the running game. And the balls

914
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 9: found him here this past week for sure, and really

915
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 9: awesome to see him have a career day like that.

916
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 8: You know, a guy that man.

917
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 9: He works hard at it. He loves the preparation part.

918
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 9: He takes football very serious. And to see him have

919
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 9: a rewarding day like that no surprise at all, despite

920
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 9: it called it being a career day.

921
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 4: That he's He's capable of having a day like that,

922
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 4: all right, One more coach other than football?

923

00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 9: it despite you know what you.

940
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 4: May or may not well interceive it. Probably a lot

941
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 4: of people that that impact that. Yeah, it probably didn't

942
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 4: surprise you when Joe Gibbs had success in NASCAR after

943
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 4: having success in football.

944
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, I don't know a lot. I don't pretend

945
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 9: to know a lot about the inner workings, but I do.

946
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 4: I do.

947
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 9: I do pretend to know that there's a lot of

948
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 9: people that factor into you know, those teams and.

949
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 8: And uh and so I've I've enjoyed it.

950
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 9: Uh And it's just one of those off season sports

951
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 9: that I got a shot to watch.

952
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: If you if you like the NASCAR Coach, you got

953
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: to check out the Netflix series on F one.

954
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, everybody told me about Yeah, everybody told me about it.

955
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: You'll you'll you want to dive into F one just

956
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: as much as you do Nascar. Really cool. It's a

957
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: long list, it'll be an off seasons coach likes a lot.

958
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: Good luck. See, I knew the Golf ancer was coming.

959
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: I just I don't know why it has had this

960
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: feeling like, yeah, golf, I don't know what it is,

961
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: but just had a feeling golf was gonna be the answer. Now,

962
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: since it's kind of a wide receiver segment, Drew had

963
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 2: a chance to catch up with Robert Woods Bobby Trees.

964
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: So let's take a listen to what Robert has to

965
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: say heading into this one against the Bengals.

966
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 3: Robert Woods has a feel to be back in the

967
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: practice field, to be back in the mix with everybody.

968
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 10: Feels good being back out there competing, getting my rhythm

969
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 10: back and being able to just go out there and

970
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 10: be back.

971
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: With the guys.

972
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 3: Hey, you've done this a while.

973
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: How quickly?

974
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 3: How long does it take to actually get your rhythm

975
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: back when you miss a little bit of time?

976
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 10: First touch, just being able to get out there on

977
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 10: the field, get in that first touch, being able to

978
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 10: connect with CJ, get the drive going. I feel like

979
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 10: it's gonna be a great energy in the atmosphere. Is

980
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 10: the upcoming Sunday that would be enough to.

981
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 3: Get me going. What do you think about this? Fingles secondary?

982
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 10: I think they're experienced group, played very well. Mike Hilton

983
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 10: back there, controlling everything, kind of leading them guys in there,

984
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 10: really just playing and solid, solid defense.

985
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: Knick's got back.

986
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 10: There, played with him in LA knowing he knows how

987
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 10: to fly around and attack the ball a second and

988
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 10: there he knows how to find ways to get turnovers.

989
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 3: Last thing for me. Bobby slow E said earlier this week, Hey,

990
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 3: this team, they put together a really good half talking

991
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: about you guys, and then struggle either in the next

992
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 3: game or the next half to do So what does

993
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 3: it take. What's it gonna have to happen? If you

994
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: get that consistency going where we can see the explosiveness

995
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: all the way through.

996
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: Just getting going.

997
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 10: I feel like once we get going and have that

998
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 10: same belief that every play we run that we're gonna

999
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 10: get positive yards and execute, just knowing that whatever it takes,

1000
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 10: whatever their defense, and we're gonna will our way to

1001
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 10: positive yard, I think that would be changed.

1002
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: I think now is the time to do so.

1003
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 10: We're in the middle of the year, middle season. This

1004
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 10: is where teams make that jump to getting ready for

1005
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 10: that for the next level of playoffs and contentions set

1006
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 10: themselves up.

1007
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: So I feel like our time to do so.

1008
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: Do you think the music should be louder when I

1009
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: interview you?

1010
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 10: No, I think this is a great great interview, great music,

1011
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 10: and great vibe for this weekend at Cincinnati.

1012
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 3: It's all you, man. I just asked the questions.

1013
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Rober vessel Man.

1014
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 2: I love getting a chance to talk to that guy,

1015
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 2: and I love the fact that he is on this

1016
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: team and back and hopefully he is going to be

1017
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 2: able to be on the field. He's a full participant

1018
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 2: today in practice and he was. He was one of

1019
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 2: the he was one of the few to be a

1020
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: full participant in practice, as we outlined in our previous

1021
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: segment giving you the keys to the game and the

1022
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: injury report, and you know all.

1023
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: That because the injury report it really kind of drives

1024
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: the keys for this one against the Bengals.

1025
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: So we went through all of that, but if you

1026
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: did miss it, Texans are without eight players. Andrew Beck,

1027
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 2: Nico Collins, Kayami Fairbaron, Jake Hansen, Brevin Jordan, Damian Pierce,

1028
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: Henry Toatoa, and Jimmy Ward.

1029
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: Three are questionable.

1030
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: Steven Nelson has not participated all week, so that's gonna

1031
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 2: be a tough one, but he is questionable. Jerry Hughes

1032
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 2: questionable the back, but he was a full participant in practice,

1033
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: which is good. And then Robert Woods was a full

1034
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 2: participant in practice for the Texans. Questionable, but at least

1035
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 2: he was back full. He's kind of moved it up

1036
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: each week or each day, so it'd be great to

1037
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: see number two back on the field for.

1038
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 1: The for the Bengals. If you missed it, big news.

1039
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 2: T Higgins out, Sam Hubbard excellent defensive and pass rusher,

1040
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: edge setter out. Doubtful defensive lineman Josh Tupo with his

1041
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: shoulder questionable.

1042
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: Charlie Jones a full participant.

1043
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 2: He's party turner, speedy rookie Jamar Chase limited the last

1044
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: two days in practice with a back.

1045
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: He is questionable. Now that one's gonna be one to watch,

1046
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: as we talked about. But I don't know. I'm kind

1047
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: of fifty to fifty. I don't really want to say

1048
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: one way or the other.

1049
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: I think there's some people that believe Jamar Chase is

1050
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: not gonna play because they got to play on Thursday

1051
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: night against the Ravens, that it would be more important

1052
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: to play against the Ravens than to play against the Texans.

1053
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: It remains to be seen. But I went through all that.

1054
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 2: But just in case you missed the injury report, there was.

1055
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's not pretty. It's not pretty, but at

1056
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: least you have some guys back that I was a

1057
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 2: little worried.

1058
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: About the beginning of the week.

1059
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: You got Will Anderson, Blake Cashman, John Gernard Larrmy Tunsel.

1060
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 2: Those guys are all back and they were DMPs or

1061
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: limited throughout the week, but it was good to see

1062
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 2: them full participants of practice. So that's enough of the

1063
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: injury report. Man, I'm done talking about that thing. Man,

1064
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: it is just ug lee not ugly. Are the two

1065

1080
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 3: James to tell me which two are real and which

1081
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 3: one's a lie. You're familiar with this game, it's two

1082
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,000

Speaker 6: Okay.

1086
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 8: Quote one.

1087
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 3: I think CJ. Stroud's walking into a pretty good situation.

1088
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: Dot dot dot. People were almost just overthinking it. I

1089

Speaker 3: think end quote. That's one. Here's another one.

1090
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 8: Okay.

1091
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 3: Just look at how he layers the ball. Look at

1092
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 3: how every ball is thrown for the receiver to make

1093
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 3: a play with it. That's two.

1094
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 8: Okay.

1095
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 3: Here's the third one, Drew Doherty. You have the hair

1096
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 3: of the dominant lion on the serengetti, a jaw line

1097
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 3: chiseled out of marble, and a tan that makes the

1098
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 3: mahogany trees blush. So you'll understand when I, James McGillicuddy

1099
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 3: Palmer make this proclamation at the midway point of the

1100
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: season in twenty twenty three, C J. Stroud will have

1101
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: thrown fourteen touchdowns, one pick, and have the Texans primed

1102
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 3: to make a playoff run in your one.

1103
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 8: No, okay, and which post is the lie? It's between

1104
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 8: one and two? Which is the lie?

1105
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 3: Jokes aside, though, like that's pretty you. You were the

1106
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 3: first two, you were on the money with it. I mean,

1107
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 3: we've seen four different guys have one hundred yard receiving days.

1108
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 3: We've seen yards after the catch, upon yards after the catch,

1109
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: upon yards after the catch. You got a guy in

1110
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 3: Tank Dell who's not the prototypical size. You've got Nico

1111
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 3: Collins doing it, Dalton Schultz, Noah Brown, who I know

1112
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 3: you know about because he's an Ohio State guy. But

1113
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 3: a lot of people sort of around the league, unless

1114
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 3: you were a Cowboys fan, you didn't know a whole

1115
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 3: heck of a lot about the guy. The dude exploded

1116
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 3: last weekend, and since he came back from injury, he's

1117
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: had a thirty one yard reception or longer in each

1118
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 3: of the three games. I mean, he's c j Stratus

1119
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 3: is doing it with different people. How did you know?

1120
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 3: And what do you think about what you've seen since?

1121
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 4: Then?

1122
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 11: Well, let's start with the group around cj because we

1123
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 11: can talk at length about C. James And so I

1124
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 11: was just kind of looking at what was there and

1125
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 11: a couple of things jumped out, I mean, one with Nico,

1126
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 11: a few conversations with Andre Johnson that I had kind

1127
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 11: of jumped out at me where the two had worked

1128
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 11: privately a lot, and he had told me, like, with

1129
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 11: the with the right quarterback, with the right guy that

1130
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 11: can put the ball, you know, in the right spot

1131
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 11: for him, I think he can.

1132
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: Be really a big threat.

1133
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 11: And he's pacifically said in the red zone like and

1134
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 11: it's funny because on our show we've talked a lot

1135
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 11: about like kind of the big bodied receivers kind of

1136
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 11: like it's it's been a difficult thing to find in

1137
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 11: the league lately, and that's why it kind of fades

1138
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 11: in the red zone have kind of diminished in a sense.

1139
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 11: And the Texans had one, and obviously he had a

1140
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 11: great mentor and one of the best big body receivers

1141
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 11: we've seen in recent memory and Dre and he kind

1142
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 11: of told me, like, with the right guy that knows

1143
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 11: where to put the ball, he can be, you know,

1144
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 11: I think a really good, really good receiver.

1145
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 3: That's one I had heard so much.

1146
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 11: About Tank Dell in the draft process, just as kind

1147
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 11: of one of those explosive guys that just can make plays.

1148
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 11: It's kind of like I'm sitting here in Denver, like

1149
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 11: a Marvin mins who's really been in the old the

1150
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 11: explosive receiver for the Broncos. Like, just a couple of

1151
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 11: these guys coming out, we're kind of doing it. And

1152
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 11: then I just thought, you know, the Panthers tried to

1153
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 11: do it with my opinion, with Adam Thiel, and the

1154
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 11: Texans did it with Dalton Schultz, and it's working out

1155
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 11: with Dalton Schultz. In terms of a veteran that's reliable,

1156
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 11: that is going to be there for you, I don't think,

1157
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 11: in my opinion, a smart, savvy veteran tight end could

1158
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 11: be more important to a young quarterback. Maybe tackles right,

1159
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 11: and you know what, CJ's got those, even though they've

1160
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 11: had a million guys play on the offensive line. So

1161
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 11: I kind of just thought he was set up from

1162
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 11: what was in front of him and what was around him,

1163
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 11: and specifically the way they ran the football last year,

1164
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 11: which that's been the surprising thing. Drew right, Yeah, weird

1165
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 11: all thought that they would be running the football great

1166
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 11: and that would help CJ. But that's been something they're

1167
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 11: still trying to figure out. And obviously there's been some

1168
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 11: injuries and things like that. But I just thought he

1169
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 11: was put in a position to succeed by everything that

1170
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 11: was around him. I just didn't know he would click

1171
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 11: with his offensive coordinator like this, because nobody knew who the.

1172
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 8: Hell Bobby was.

1173
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 11: Yeah, and now I mean, I'm having him on my

1174
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 11: show because I want everybody to know who Bobby is.

1175
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 3: Talking with James Palmer of the NFL Network, you know,

1176
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 3: after the first time, I think it was after the

1177
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 3: Steelers win, there was some excitement and somebody on Twitter,

1178
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 3: some random person was like, he's going to be a

1179
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 3: head coach next year, and somebody responded to it like

1180
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 3: with some explotives and just basically saying, keep your filthy

1181
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 3: mits off of him. And yeah, it was not that nice.

1182
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 3: But Bobby slowk you cannot undersell how important that guy's been.

1183
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 3: And it's funny. I got to interview Stroud in Kansas

1184
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 3: City with Will Anderson moments after those two were picked,

1185
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 3: and I don't remember what the question was. I think

1186
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 3: it was an excitement about, hey, what do you think

1187
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 3: about this offense you'll be in and he immediately started

1188
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 3: breaking down. It was a glimpse right off the bat

1189
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 3: of Okay, this kid is detailed, because he started talking

1190
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 3: about Slowick and Bill Lazer and Jerrod Johnson, the quarterbacks

1191
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 3: coach who has a nice relationship with He basically went

1192
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 3: through the three or four guys that he's always going

1193
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 3: to be interacting with, and this is you know, late April,

1194
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 3: and shouted him out, called him out and said I

1195
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 3: can't wait to get to work with him. And you know,

1196
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 3: everything he said and everything we saw from him at

1197
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 3: Ohio State is kind of just translating to the pros.

1198
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 8: Now. It's weird, Yeah, it it really is. It's it's funny.

1199
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 11: The quote that you read of me being a genius

1200
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 11: about saying maybe we all overthought this, I think is

1201
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 11: kind of right. I mean, there was this stupid S

1202
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 11: two test thing that came out and the you know,

1203
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 11: I talked to slow it the other day and he

1204
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 11: was like, yeah, just ask CJ what he thinks if

1205
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 11: you like, say it to his face about his lack

1206
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 11: of mobility and see what happens.

1207
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, and see how angry he gets.

1208
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 11: And and that was kind of a joke because he

1209
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 11: didn't really have to use his legs if you watched

1210
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 11: enough film, it wasn't really part of his games in half.

1211
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 3: He's very judicious with it now and when he chooses

1212
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 3: to do it. It's good things happen.

1213
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 8: You know, it really is, and that's essentially what you

1214
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 8: have to be.

1215
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm not going to compare him to Burrow,

1216
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 11: and that's what they're going to go against. But like

1217
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 11: nobody thinks about how good Burrow is on the move.

1218
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 11: He's a far better athlete than people give him credit for.

1219
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 11: And I don't think anybody was talking about his mobility

1220
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 11: when he was coming out and he was the number

1221
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 11: one pick overall. But man, you go watch him move.

1222
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 11: I mean, the dude is I've talked to people and

1223
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 11: since Anti the dude hit like twenty one miles an hour,

1224
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 11: Like he can move and get himself out of situations.

1225
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 3: And CJ's equally the same and can throw in the run.

1226
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 11: But the two things, and I talked to David Shaw

1227
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 11: about this, who's you know, the former Stanford coach and

1228
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 11: a big part of.

1229
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 8: Our draft process at NFL Network, And.

1230
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 11: The two main things I was told by scouts by

1231
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 11: Ryan Day by inviting people is like how he layers

1232
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 11: the football and I mentioned that in the quote, and

1233
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 11: how he goes through progressions with his feet, which a

1234
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 11: lot of scouts said was kind of rare at the

1235
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 11: collegiate level that his feet are before his eyes. And

1236
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 11: when you know, I talked to David about this. He

1237
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 11: was like, it's like Andrew lock That's what he said

1238
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 11: to me. And he had Andrew at obviously at Stanford.

1239
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 11: He's like, the ability to understand trajectory and velocity on

1240
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 11: all of your throes is something that is just it's

1241
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 11: just not taught, he said, right, the best ones have it.

1242
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 11: And he's like, CJ does it with these And that

1243
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 11: was one of the biggest things Ryan Day told me,

1244
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 11: just understanding what needs to be put on each ball

1245
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 11: for each route, and that's a huge Those two things

1246
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 11: to me were like, well, this is like NFL quarterback play, Like.

1247
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 8: How are we not figuring this out?

1248
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 11: Like if okay, he goes through his aggressions with his feet,

1249
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 11: balls out quick, it's a short release. If he can

1250
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 11: make every throw, he's got a strong arm. But why

1251
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 11: are we overthinking this? Cause those two things to me

1252
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 11: make you an NFL quarterback.

1253
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 3: And David Shawbrey, Yeah, and you bring up the footwork,

1254
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 3: the eyes, the progression. It's lended itself well clearly to

1255
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 3: the NFL, but it's one of the reasons. He's only

1256
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 3: thrown a pick.

1257
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 4: And.

1258
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 3: Richard, Damn, you're gonna say, oh, it's a rookie, therefore

1259
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 3: he will throw some picks. That's just part of the process.

1260
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 3: You just accept it. You're not mad. You know it's

1261
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 3: gonna happen. But he hasn't thrown any picks except for

1262
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 3: the one, and on the one he three. They actually

1263
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 3: got the ball back on the play they forced to

1264
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 3: fumbel in Texas. He got a fresh set of down

1265
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 3: So it's like, it's hilarious that happens. But it's not

1266
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 3: like he's just throwing little flares and short stuff. I mean,

1267
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 3: the guy is a killer on the deep stuff. Past

1268
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 3: per yards attempt eight point one, that's third in the NFL.

1269
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 3: He's third the NFL in passing yards per game right now.

1270
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 3: I mean he's going deep. He hit nine completions of

1271
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 3: twenty one yards or more just last weekend alone. Yeah,

1272
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 3: it's been a lot of fun. I know we're just

1273
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 3: talking about CJ. Stroud, but I think we're kind of

1274
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 3: getting to onion layer. We're just kind of peeling one

1275
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 3: little layer off because what's next. What does this guy

1276
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 3: do next to get better?

1277
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 11: Well, I think a big part of this, and you

1278
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 11: mentioned the explosive plays is I think, and it's funny

1279
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 11: when I talk to slog about this. I think Bobby's

1280
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 11: done a brilliant job in terms of what they designed

1281
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 11: up front and how they have their blocking schemes. And

1282
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 11: it's not just vanilla. It's complex at times, and what

1283
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 11: they've done to protect him. You can't do the things

1284
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 11: we're talking about right true if he's not protected, and

1285
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 11: I think with all the shuffling that they've had, they

1286
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 11: had their worst blocking performance in the first game of

1287
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 11: the season.

1288
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 3: Ye if that doesn't show you like it's gonna happens

1289
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 3: the Ravens to exactly, And moving.

1290
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 11: Into the Ravens right now, we're looking at him like,

1291
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 11: I think they're the most complete, maybe dominant team in

1292
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 11: football right now, both sides of the ball.

1293
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 6: And so.

1294
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 11: If it was against the Ravens and it was your

1295
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 11: first game of the season and you've only gotten better

1296
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 11: from there, in a sense, like you're showing that they're

1297
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 11: taking the coaching. The coaching is there, and the protection

1298
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 11: upfront is there. And so I do think if you

1299
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 11: look at his numbers when he's under pressure, they dramatically

1300
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 11: change which will happen with a lot of quarterbacks outside

1301
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 11: of you know, Patrick Mahomes maybe, And I mean some

1302
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 11: people look into those numbers too deeply. Obviously you're not

1303
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 11: going to go deep under pressure. So like, oh his

1304
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 11: yards per a tempo down. I was like, well, you're

1305
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 11: under pressure, man, like you're probably gonna dump it off.

1306
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 11: I think where he goes from here, honestly, is just

1307
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 11: you keep adding those you mentioned layers, You keep adding

1308
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 11: those rink Now, okay, we've done this. They're starting to

1309
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 11: become a book on them. They're starting to become a

1310
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 11: book on the offense.

1311
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 4: You know.

1312
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 11: It's it's like a hitter just getting called up into

1313
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 11: the bigs. There's no book on what he struggles.

1314
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 8: With and what he does well with.

1315
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 11: And he's like teeing off on pitchers early and then

1316
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 11: he can't hit the low and away curve and it's

1317
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 11: you know, the books out. I think they just have

1318
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 11: to stay a step ahead Drew right, Like, it's just

1319
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 11: keep adding a wrinkle to what you do. And I

1320
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 11: think all of this works because of the trust between

1321
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 11: him and Slower.

1322
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 3: James Palmer of the NFL Network is our guest, and James,

1323
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 3: I'm not going to crown anybody because it's it's still

1324
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 3: only haven't even reached the halfway point. They'll be they'll

1325
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 3: be at the halfway point at halftime of this game. Yeah,

1326
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 3: four and four, you're taking on one of the heavyweights

1327
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. But after that, you've got the Cardinals coming up,

1328
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 3: You've got the Broncos coming up, You've got a lot

1329
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 3: of teams within your division coming up. It's not I mean,

1330
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 3: I've been saying this all season long. When people have

1331
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 3: asked me, they'll bring up the thought of the playoffs.

1332
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 3: My theory is, why the hell not you? Nobody said

1333
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 3: they're gonna win the Super Bowl? But why can't they

1334
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 3: They're at five hundred here November. Why can't they go

1335
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 3: on a bit of a run and stack a few victories?

1336
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 3: You go over five hundred the rest of the way,

1337
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 3: probably you're going to be in the playoffs at least

1338
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 3: in the hunt. But why can't you be getting why

1339
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 3: can't you slide on.

1340
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: In this year?

1341
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 8: Exactly?

1342
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 11: I think right now where they stand, I think we

1343
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 11: were all realistic at the beginning of the season, is

1344
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 11: what do you do year one? You make sure CJ

1345
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 11: has growth, that he's on the right path that you

1346
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 11: know you have your franchise quarterback and you're going into

1347
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 11: year two going, all right, how do we build on

1348
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 11: what I think Nick Cassaria's had really good drafts each

1349
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 11: of the last two seasons, and how do we build

1350
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 11: with this young nucleus now, Like it's completely fine to

1351
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 11: change your goals, Like you look at where you're at now,

1352
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 11: you're like, Okay, in the first half of the season,

1353
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 11: I think we established what we wanted to accomplish for

1354
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 11: the duration of the season, which was the quarterback spot.

1355
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 11: All right, Now we're winning games like no moral victory

1356
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 11: is in a sense, like, let's make a playoff push,

1357
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 11: and we know what's changed in the building already. We

1358
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 11: know the direction the building's already headed, and we know

1359
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 11: the way it already feels in there. Imagine what a

1360
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 11: playoff push would do in the second half of the

1361
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 11: season to catapult this team into year two with Demiko

1362
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 11: Ryans and CJ. Stroud And I mean, they're doing this

1363
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 11: with such a great group of young players and all

1364
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 11: they need to do is sniff winning ways and they

1365
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 11: grow exponentially.

1366
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 3: Hi, James Palmer, Let's leave with this last question and

1367
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 3: think about it. You brought up the drafts that Casario

1368
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 3: has had the last few years. Look at the free

1369
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 3: agent class, like coming into this season with guys like

1370
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: Schultz who you mentioned, Sheldon Rankins on the interior of

1371
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 3: the defensive line, He's never gonna get interior defensive linemen

1372
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 3: are just not going to get a bunch of shine

1373
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 3: but him, Denzel Perriman, some of the others. What might

1374
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 3: it look like next year with another draft class, get

1375
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 3: the Browns first overall pick and another free agency.

1376
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 11: I think what you got to see is your mindset

1377
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 11: start to switch, right, Like, you start being very strategic

1378
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 11: with your free agency plays. You start changing from what

1379
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 11: we've seen over the last couple of years. And this

1380
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 11: was because of obviously the situation they were in, like

1381
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 11: will you come play for the Texans? Like that was

1382
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 11: kind of like a please come play for the Texans,

1383
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 11: like we need bodies? Tis like yeah, and now and

1384
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 11: now you look at it, and you look at the

1385
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 11: way I mean, CJ's probably the most talked about NFL

1386
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 11: player over the last week in the league.

1387
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, that's that's remarkable.

1388
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 11: And what that does I mean when you're in a

1389
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 11: city like Houston I've lived there.

1390
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 8: You you love living there, true, and you.

1391
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 11: Got your quarterbacks sitting there bro Hug and Lebron on

1392
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 11: the sideline of a Rockets game. The perception of your

1393
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 11: organization is different for free agents. When you have a

1394
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 11: leader in Demico Ryans and you have a bright offensive

1395
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 11: mind to Bobby slogan, you have a quarterback and you

1396
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 11: have young players succeeding in free agency, or perception of

1397
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 11: your organization changes, and that's huge. When a guy's thinking

1398
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 11: about two three teams and you're putting in pieces and

1399
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 11: you're not reaching and overplaying. I think that's where the

1400
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 11: Texans hope to be after this season, and I think

1401
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 11: there's a really good chance they can be.

1402
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: Like the way you think, JP, I like the way

1403
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 2: you think. All right, coming up next, straight up and

1404
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 2: against the spread. I got a lot of games to

1405
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 2: do in a short amount of time. It's do it

1406
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,959
Speaker 2: next right here in Texans All Access. All right, welcome

1407
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 2: back to this initiation to Texans All Access. It's gonna

1408
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: be your fastest two and a half minutes of the years.

1409
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 2: I picked these games straight up and against the spread.

1410
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 2: Appreciate you being with me. John Harris, Football and the

1411
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 2: sideline reporter and let's get go and get my music,

1412
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 2: Let's rock. The Colts are taking on the Patriots in Germany,

1413
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: and all signs are pointing to bad thanks for the Patriots.

1414
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 2: So I'm going with the Colts in favored by two

1415
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 2: and a half. I think the Colts will win this

1416
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 2: thing and they will cover that two and a half.

1417
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but the Colts will get

1418
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 2: the five hundred with a win. I want the Patriots

1419
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 2: to win. I can't believe I'm saying that, but I

1420
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 2: want the Patriots to win. But the Colts are gonna

1421
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 2: do it. They're gonna cover that two and a half.

1422
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Packers taking on the Steelers. This one's kind of ugly.

1423
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know what the over under is. I

1424
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 2: just know Pittsford favor at three and a half and

1425
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh can win by four. Steelers win, Steelers cover Titans.

1426
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 2: Going to the Bucks. Let's go Bucks. Bucks are fair by.

1427
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 2: I think Will Levis gets it handed to him here.

1428
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:05,959
Speaker 2: The Bucks are banged up. Don't know what Jamel Teen's

1429
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 2: gonna play, don't know if Carlton Davis is gonna play.

1430
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 2: But I need the Bucks to win. So the Bucks

1431
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 2: are gonna win. That's how I'm gonna speak it to existence,

1432
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 2: and they're gonna cover that one. Browns Ravens. The Browns

1433
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: are without their two starting tackles against the Ravens in Baltimore.

1434
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore's faired by six and a half. Go Ravens cover

1435
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: the six and a half and win out right.

1436
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 2: Niners taking on the Jags, San Francisco's favorite in Jacksonville,

1437
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 2: coming off both of them coming off of by That's

1438
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: gonna be interesting game. But I'm gonna roll with the

1439
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Niners because well, we need the Niners to win. So

1440
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 2: let's get the Niners a win by more than three.

1441
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 2: Hopefully brock Perty bounces back and the Jags will fall

1442
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 2: to six and three. Saints taking on the Vikings. Vikings

1443
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 2: will have Josh Dobbs. It's in Minnesota. I think the

1444
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: Saints are playing better, though reality kind of hits as

1445
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 2: you start preparing for this one. I think the Saints

1446
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 2: are gonna win this game, and they'll win it by

1447
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 2: more than three. They gotta revenge on their mind from

1448
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 2: the game six years ago. How about that Falcons taking

1449
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 2: on the Cardinals in Era Zona. Atlanta's favored by two

1450
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 2: because Kyler Murray's coming back for the Cardinals doesn't matter.

1451
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 2: Falcons are gonna get the win and cover. The two

1452
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 2: Lions taking on the Chargers out in La Detroit favorit

1453
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 2: by three. Lots of Lions fans in the stands. Therefore,

1454
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,439
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give the Lions a win, but I'm gonna

1455
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 2: get the charges of cover. I know it's three point spread,

1456
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 2: but the line's gonna win a very close one or

1457
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 2: two point game. Charges are gonna get the cover Giants. Cowboys.

1458
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 2: Giants are starting Tomy DeVito, so you need to know

1459
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 2: Cowboys lay the seventeen Commanders taking on the Seahawks.

1460
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: Gina will get it done at home.

1461
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 2: And cover the six, and the Raiders will beat the

1462
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Jets by more than one, so they'll win and cover.

1463
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 2: Coming up next, let's do a little Drews dozen with

1464
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 2: no Brown and let's relive the ult eleven.

1465
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Plays of last week's win over Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1466
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,800

01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 6: First I was football.

1471
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 3: No other jobs. No grocery store in, no mowing lawns,

1472
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 3: no snow shoveling snow sir. Nothing.

1473
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 4: Huh.

1474
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 3: That's a good first job to have, absolutely getting paid

1475
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 3: to play.

1476
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 4: I like it.

1477
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 3: Do you any nicknames?

1478
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:12,919
Speaker 6: Not too many?

1479
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 7: NB A five, but most people just call me Noah, Noah.

1480
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 8: I got you.

1481
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 3: How did you come up with eighty five? By eighty five?

1482
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 7: The number eighty five was given to me when I

1483
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 7: first came out of Ohio State. I wore eighty at

1484
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 7: Ohio State. I wore twenty one in high school before that,

1485
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 7: so no significance to it, but I just stuck with

1486
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 7: it when.

1487
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 6: I got it.

1488
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 3: Is the number just number. Do you have a favorite

1489
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 3: of all those?

1490
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say have a favorite of all of them.

1491
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 7: I think I probably been wearing eighty five the longest

1492
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 7: ode of all of them now, so we'll stick with that.

1493
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 3: That's not a bad one to stick with. It's been

1494
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 3: working for you. What's the first thing you do when

1495
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:42,959
Speaker 3: you wake up in the morning, brush my teeth?

1496
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1497
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 3: Do you wake up with an alarm or do you

1498
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 3: just wake up on your own alarm?

1499
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1500
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 3: If you didn't have an alarm when would you wake.

1501
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 6: Up, I'd be paying some fines late.

1502
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 3: Well, no, let's say it's a vacation day. You don't

1503
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 3: have to be in anywhere. When do you When would

1504
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 3: you wake up?

1505
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 6: Probably around nine ten?

1506
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 3: Yet there because you've been waking up so early, you

1507
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 3: can't do the sleeping and thing. Okay, that's what you

1508
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 3: do when you wake up. What's the last thing you

1509
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 3: do before you put your hand on the pillow at

1510
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 3: night and go to sleep?

1511
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 6: Same prayer?

1512
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1513
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 3: Is it the same prayer? Every night? Is a different one?

1514
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 6: No, just depending on how I'm feeling, what's going on.

1515
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 3: If you were not a football player right now, what

1516
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 3: would you be doing?

1517
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 6: Man, I'm not sure. Probably coaching football.

1518
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, singular focus. When did you fall in love with

1519
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 3: the game? How old were you?

1520
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 7: I was probably, I say fall in love with it

1521
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 7: maybe senior year of high school. Actually tried to quit

1522
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 7: football my sophomore year high school. Why to play basketball?

1523
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 7: Basketball is my main sport mostly growing up?

1524
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1525
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 3: You miss hoops at all?

1526
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 8: I do.

1527
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 7: I still play sometimes in the off season, but you know,

1528
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 7: definitely better decision I.

1529
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:43,439
Speaker 6: Made going on football, No doubt.

1530
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 3: There have been a lot of great basketball players that

1531
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 3: have played here for the Texans. DeAndre Hopkins he played

1532
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 3: at Clemson for a little bit before just turn into

1533
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 3: football full time. Bruce Allington was a receiver. He played

1534
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 3: at South Carolina. Who else on this team currently would

1535
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 3: round out a starting five? You're on it? Of course?

1536
01:05:59,040 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 3: Who are the other four?

1537
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to go George Fenn just because I

1538
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 7: know he played some some basketball in his past.

1539
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 3: He's a big guy.

1540
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 6: We'll go CJ.

1541
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 7: CJ's always talking about basketball. After that, it's kind of

1542
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 7: it's kind of a toss up. I just gut here

1543
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 7: first off season, haven't gotten to see anybody really move

1544
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 7: around on the court.

1545
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,959
Speaker 6: So yeah, I got a three on three team.

1546

1549
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:25,960

Speaker 4: Is that?

1556
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,440

Speaker 7: Growing up in Jersey, the Giants were my favorite team

1618
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 7: and he was my favorite player on the team.

1619
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 3: So all right, it's could you bring up New Jersey

1620
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 3: because we're gonna finish with this. We're putting in the

1621
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 3: top five of these Jersey athletes. You gotta rank them.

1622
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 3: You Why did I say it like that?

1623
01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 4: You?

1624
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 3: You Carl Lewis, the sprinter, Olympian, Brian Cushing, former linebacker here,

1625
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 3: Bill Parcells, he was an athlete, but he's a coach,

1626
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:09,839
Speaker 3: and Tony Soprano.

1627
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 7: We're gonna go into order, you said, so, Carl Lewis,

1628
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 7: I believe you said Cushing after that, yep, Bill Parcels.

1629
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,600
Speaker 6: And then I'm gonna go meet and then I'm gonna go.

1630
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 3: Tony because Tony's uncle didn't think he was a varsity athlete.

1631
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 6: Ranks.

1632
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's a good ranking. Noel Brown, thank you

1633
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: for the time.

1634
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I know Brown was instrumental in the win over

1635
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I figured, you know what final segment,

1636
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 2: let's relive it with my ultimate eleven plays of the

1637
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 2: game against the Buccaneers.

1638
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: If you missed it, let's live it one final time.

1639
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 2: Give us a good feeling going into the weekend getting

1640
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 2: ready for the Bengals. We start at number eleven and

1641
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 2: this ends up being one of the funnest drives of

1642
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 2: the game because of how it ended.

1643
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 1: It was not fun because the Texans couldn't get an

1644
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: the end zone. That was not fun.

1645
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 2: But to get to a spot where they could start

1646
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 2: thinking about a touchdown at number eleven, it was c J.

1647
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 2: Stroud finding his guy, Noah Brown. Noah all day, he

1648
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,560
Speaker 2: led the team in receptions. We'll get to obviously his

1649
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 2: biggest one, but this one's for thirty one yards.

1650
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: It was in the fourth quarter.

1651
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: The Texans were tied thirty to thirty and hopefully gonna

1652
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 2: go up thirty eight to thirty and hopefully the name

1653
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 2: Daria Gumbwally, as much as we love him, was not

1654
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 2: gonna be hurt on his day, and they could get

1655
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 2: there with this throw right here from c J. Stroud

1656
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: to Noah Brown first and ten Tampa Bay thirty six.

1657
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 2: Stroud takes the snap, fakes the gift, stepping up CJ

1658
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 2: firing Gawnfield.

1659
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 3: To his left.

1660
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 4: Flag down, Noah Brown at the ten. Noah Brown Russell

1661
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 4: let a bound to the five yard lines. Flag down

1662
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 4: in the secondary.

1663
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 6: What's this.

1664
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: First and goal? Texans? If it stands, Noah Brown is

1665
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: going Holy defense number twenty four.

1666
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 4: A third is to fly Carlton Davis the third picked

1667
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 4: it up. Texans say pick up that flag. We'll take

1668
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 4: the plane of Noah Brown and was on fire first.

1669
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 8: Yes, he is.

1670
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 3: He is like a guy like a.

1671
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: Cat that hadn't eaten in a while.

1672
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 2: Noah has been absolutely fantastic from the time he came back.

1673
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 2: And I know after no One out I think Noah

1674
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 2: I think he was injured after that first Ravens game

1675
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 2: and then he went on IR and the offense started clicking.

1676
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 2: I know there were a lot of people thinking, well, Okay,

1677
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 2: Noah's coming back, but you know, really, what's he gonna do?

1678
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you got your receivers, you got you got

1679
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 2: Robert Woods, you got Tanked Dell, you got Nico Collins,

1680
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 2: whereas no Brown fit in it. Well, no Brown fits

1681
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 2: in it really nicely, and with Robert Woods out, Noah

1682
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 2: had to step up. And that's what that's what you need.

1683
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 2: You need positions with depth, and the receivers have shown that.

1684
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 2: Uh four guys that have just made place consistently, and

1685
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 2: no Brown has been one of those. So we'll get

1686
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 2: back to Noah in a little bit. He has a

1687
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 2: big catch on the final drive right before a spike

1688
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 2: that them in position to go win the game. He

1689
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 2: had that catch right there and the result of that

1690
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 2: was that Texans couldn't go any further, so Daria had

1691
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 2: to kick the field goal.

1692
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: So it was on that drive right there where no

1693
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: one made that catch.

1694
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 2: So Noah made a lot of big plays and obviously

1695
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 2: one you're gonna hear a little bit later. Now, let's

1696
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 2: get to number ten and a guy that I fell

1697
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 2: in love with during training camp that was killed, Khalil Davis,

1698
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 2: And I remember he had signed and I saw him

1699
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 2: walk on the field the first day and I was

1700
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 2: like interesting. Now, I will tell you a lot of times,

1701
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 2: I'm probably more in favor of shorter, quicker, leveraged defensive lineman.

1702
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 2: I like Grady Jarrett. I always loved Aaron Donald Because

1703
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 2: of that, I love shorter stouter. You know, DJ Reader

1704
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 2: was not six ' five, you know, he's six two maybe,

1705
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 2: but so strong, powerful and quick.

1706
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 1: Well that's why I saw Khalil Davis.

1707
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 2: Then I went over and watched pass rush one on

1708
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 2: ones and Pats the very first day, and I'm like,

1709
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 2: holy cow, this guy's got something. He has got something,

1710
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 2: and he has just played at a highlight level when

1711
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 2: he has got in the game. And obviously, with Hassan

1712
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 2: Ridgeway going down, Rankins being out, Clil Davis, Kurt Heinisch,

1713
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 2: Malik Collins, those guys had to step up because that

1714
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 2: was all they had.

1715
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: And in the late third.

1716
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 2: Quarter, when the momentum is really rolling, on third down,

1717
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield went back to pass and on the left

1718
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 2: side of the defensive formation, the Texans ran a pick

1719
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,560
Speaker 2: stunt like you would run a pick playing basketball, you know,

1720
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 2: like a pick and roll, Like you have a guy

1721
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 2: running towards the defender, he sets the pick, the ball

1722
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 2: handler goes around and he's got a lot of room.

1723
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 1: Well that's exactly what this was.

1724
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 2: Will Anderson dove hard inside on the guard and when

1725
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 2: he did, the tackle went with him. Khalil Davis then

1726
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 2: looped around and he was face to face with Baker Mayfield,

1727
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 2: who then was unable to throw the ball. Khalil Davis

1728
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 2: wrapped him up. And I want you to listen to

1729
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 2: the crowd reaction because we have not heard this crowd

1730
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 2: reaction in a very long time. A number ten, Clil

1731
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 2: Davis with a sack of Baker Mayfield the third quarter and.

1732
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 4: Everybody's fired up. Third down and ten Buccketeers from there.

1733
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 4: In nineteen Mayfield shotgun three receivers, Watts that Wright one back,

1734
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 4: the air's gonna snap down.

1735
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,719
Speaker 1: Mayfield backs up. Here's pressure, He's gonna go down.

1736
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 4: Khalil Tavis brings down Mayfield at that ten.

1737
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 12: I've loved this kid ever since the preseason, and all

1738
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 12: he does is make plays.

1739
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's get to number nine.

1740
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 2: And number nine comes with a little bit of a story,

1741
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna tell you the story in the second play.

1742
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 2: But it was two big plays by Jalen Petree. The

1743
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 2: first one is a tackle for a loss in the

1744
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 2: fourth quarter that I thought was gonna be the defining

1745
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 2: play of the game because the Bucks were driving their

1746
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 2: down threes thirty three thirty. It got a first down,

1747
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 2: and on first down they essentially destroyed a run play,

1748
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 2: but it was Petrie who ended up with the final

1749
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 2: tackle on the running back. I think it was Chase

1750
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 2: Edmonds at the time, and it set up a big

1751
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 2: loss of the Bucks. I thought that that's the play,

1752
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 2: so I put this one at nine to A. P.

1753
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 1: Tree's showing blitz Mayfield, hands off to Edmunds and he's

1754
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: brought down.

1755
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 4: Now he stays up in the backfield that he slips

1756
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 4: down and buried by Petrie cracking up forty three yard

1757
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 4: live broke a tackle. Did well to do it, but

1758
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 4: he round back into p Trie and friends and it's

1759
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 4: a big loss.

1760
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: So okay, the story comes with nine B.

1761
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 2: Now this happens in the third quarter and the Bucks

1762
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 2: trying to remember what the score was at the time.

1763
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 2: But the Bucks said the lead, they put another touchdown

1764
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 2: up on the board. No matter how the Texans are

1765
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 2: moving the ball, it's gonna it's gonna be tough. And

1766
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 2: so the Texans showed at the Skies in the secondary

1767
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 2: and it turned out that they were gonna play cover

1768
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 2: one and blitz the overhang player. So that put Jalen

1769
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 2: Petrie in man coverage on Trey Palmer. So Palmer runs

1770
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 2: the deep over out. Now Palmer runs into fourth three

1771
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 2: range and Jalen is staying as close to him as

1772
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 2: humanly possible, and at the last second is the ball's arriving.

1773
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 2: Jalen reaches out and full on dives and gets four

1774
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 2: fingers on the ball and knocks it away.

1775
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: But as he does, he hits the ground. Here's that

1776
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 1: play at nine B. Then the story makefield.

1777
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 4: He fakes the give Mayfield, throws down field and knocked away.

1778
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Petrie got in the way of it as the ball

1779
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: was intended to the speedy Trey Palmer. Second and ten.

1780
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 12: What a play, What a play by Petrie just the

1781
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,839
Speaker 12: last second to get his left hand on the football

1782
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:35,719
Speaker 12: to not get away.

1783
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: So I see that thing the whole way.

1784
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm standing maybe maybe ten yards away from the whole thing,

1785
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 2: and so I'm watching the interaction. I see Jalen make

1786
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 2: the knock away, and I'm like yeah. And then Petrie

1787
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 2: Dove got up and started running back for the huddle,

1788
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 2: and as he did, I looked and I was like,

1789
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 2: I saw something that I use all the time. There

1790
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 2: was a bird bee's lip bam on the field. I mean,

1791
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 2: I could see it clear as day and I'm almost

1792
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 2: running after it. I'm like, I'm just looking at it

1793
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 2: seeing did anybody does anybody seeing this? Like there's a

1794
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 2: Bert's be's lipbomb? And I was like, that wasn't there before?

1795
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 2: So I can't figure out. I'm like, well, Palmer didn't

1796
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 2: hit the ground, So was that Jalen? The Jalen have

1797
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 2: Burt's bees?

1798
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Like he put it? Where the heck was he having?

1799
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Where was Burt's be's Like where was he carrying his

1800
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: Birt's be's lipbam?

1801
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 3: So?

1802
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 2: On our Monday Coaches Show before we started, I was like,

1803
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 2: you know what, I got to ask coach this because

1804
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: he's played the game and I've played it, and I'm like,

1805
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of anything. And I was like, Coach,

1806
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 2: have you ever heard of a player like putting in

1807
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 2: this case, Bert's Bee's lipbam in like his shorts or

1808
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 2: your belt, your sock or whatever during a game. And

1809
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 2: before I could get before Coach would answer, he's kind

1810
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 2: of looking at me. And before I could get any further,

1811
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 2: Omar Majubar, are pr director, who is just incredible, walks

1812
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 2: over and goes he starts laughing, and he goes he goes, hey,

1813
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 2: Jalen was miked up for the game, and apparently he

1814
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 2: was in the huddle offering Bert's bees to everybody in

1815
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 2: the huddle, like you gotta stay high traded, and we

1816
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 2: just broke out laughing, and I was like, Coach, I

1817
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 2: think he had it in his pants, Like, I think

1818
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:26,799
Speaker 2: he had it in his game pants and when he landed,

1819
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 2: they popped out, and Omar was like, yeah, I'm pretty

1820
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 2: sure he had it. So we got to get the

1821
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 2: confirmation of Jalen Petrie. But it's one of the funniest

1822
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 2: things I've ever seen of a player carrying Burt's Be's lipball.

1823
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,679
Speaker 2: Now I think I would have put it in my sock,

1824
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I mean, maybe it gets down

1825
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 2: to your foot and you don't want that.

1826
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1827
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 2: Maybe I just keep it on the sideline and I

1828
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 2: just use it on the sideline. So I got to

1829
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of this with Jalen Peatrie. But

1830
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 2: I just thought it was funny enough. He made those

1831
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 2: two huge plays and I was like, I gotta tell

1832
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 2: the story. So there you go, Jalen Petrie carrying Burt's

1833
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 2: Bee's in his football pants. I think we got any confirmation,

1834
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 2: all right, So that's it. Let's get to number ten

1835
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 2: and the Texans end up putting up ten points in

1836
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 2: the first half, and they got three from and people

1837
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 2: are gonna forget this. A huge, enormous fifty yard field

1838
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 2: goal from Kymie Fairban.

1839
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 4: Fifty yard field goal attempt left tash mark north end

1840
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,679
Speaker 4: zone up rights by fairbaron Here's Weeks with the snap,

1841
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 4: here's the hole by Johnson.

1842
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: The kicker is up been good.

1843
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 4: Fairbar drills it from fifty to cut it back to

1844
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 4: a one score game.

1845
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Seventeen ten. Texas needed that one in a big way.

1846
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not totally sure if that's when it happened,

1847
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 2: or if it was on the ensuing kickoff, I don't know,

1848
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 2: but it was about that point that we saw well,

1849
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 2: we didn't see Kymie Fairban on the sidelines, and that

1850
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 2: was when my antenna went up, Like wait a second.

1851
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 2: I could do math pretty quickly, and usually I see

1852
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 2: Cam and Kyme kind of working together, and I'm seeing

1853
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 2: Cam by himself, and I then walk the sideline. I

1854
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 2: can't see Kaymie anywhere, and I'm like, then I see

1855
01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 2: Camp talking to Dariya. I'll give you that story a

1856
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 2: little bit later because I actually had a report from

1857
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 2: the sideline, so I'll have that for you a little

1858
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 2: bit later. But Kimi's field goal comes in right there,

1859
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 2: a big one at number eight. All right, it's get

1860
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 2: the number seven. One of the more unique plays. And

1861
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 2: again I need some confirmation on this to know whether

1862
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 2: this was an ad lib or this play was actually

1863
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 2: in the playbook, because if it's in the playbook, it's

1864
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 2: staying in a playbook. And if it wasn't in the

1865
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:22,719
Speaker 2: playbook and it was ad lib, it should go into playbook.

1866
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to run this play. I thought about

1867
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 2: it forever, but Devin Singletary and CJ. Stroud pulled it off.

1868
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 2: It was a zone option back to the quarterback that

1869
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,560
Speaker 2: was just ridiculous. It comes into number seven handoff.

1870
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 4: Singletary hops to his left after starting right, and the

1871
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 4: ball goes to ct left side forty thirty five yard

1872
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 4: line for a first down. What sick? Sick?

1873
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Good? A reverse option? Yeah? Reverse option? Like I mean, well,

1874
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: what is that? And again, like I said, I've always

1875
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: wanted to try it. I've always thought about that play,

1876
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: like I think you could run it and you could

1877
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: really mess with some minds.

1878
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 2: But I don't know that I've ever seen an executed

1879
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 2: like that, So I tried to get confirmation from Motor.

1880
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: When he came out, I was like, did you do

1881
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: that on purpose? I don't know if you heard me.

1882
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 2: I think he was just kind of celebrating, yes, sir,

1883
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I don't know, So I

1884
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 2: gotta get a confirmation on that with you.

1885
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 1: But we'll work on that. But what a great play

1886
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: by Motor.

1887
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 2: He's getting He's getting dumped like Zion, A column went

1888
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 2: low on him, and so Devin is flipping it. He's

1889
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,600
Speaker 2: running left, so typically option quarterbacks would flip with their

1890
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 2: left hands so they can kind of brace for the hit.

1891
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 2: Devin kind of entrusts his left hands, so he flips

1892
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 2: it with his right hand and CJ catches it perfectly.

1893
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:39,759
Speaker 1: I mean his perfectly.

1894
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 2: Now, what CJ does normally is sort of football, and

1895
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 2: with no score Texans driving, he threw an absolute dart

1896
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 2: on an RPO to Nico Collins. This will tell you

1897
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 2: what kind of game this was that this throw. This

1898
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 2: touchdown comes in number six on the ultimate eleven.

1899
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: Go wide left strap packs to get throws Tenico on

1900
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: the slam.

1901
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 4: Nico into the head zone, touchdown Houston.

1902
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 7: C J.

1903
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 4: Stroud to Nico Collins first six and the Texans take

1904
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 4: the lead on Tampa Bay.

1905
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 2: It was a part of me when the Texans took

1906
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 2: that seven to nothing lead that thought, Okay, Tampa's lost

1907
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 2: three in a row. I don't say they're gonna mail

1908
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 2: it in, but all right, just kind of chalk this

1909
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 2: one up. They've been on the road a couple of weeks.

1910
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 2: They wear a buffalo on Thursday night, had them mini

1911
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 2: bye and then came to us. I thought, okay, maybe

1912
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna pack it in. No, no, no, They ended

1913
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 2: up being an incredible, incredible heavyweight fight on Sunday what

1914
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 2: it needed. Where the two plays at five A and

1915
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 2: five B twenty three sixteen, third quarter, third and eleven.

1916
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 2: The Texas has gotten nine yards from a singletary run

1917
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 2: second and one. I'm on first down, he can make

1918
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,640
Speaker 2: it second and one second down. I think it was

1919
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 2: incomplete pass. They go for third and one and it's

1920
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 2: a holding. Vidavea got held. I think Dieter ended up

1921
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 2: holding him. He needed to because Vey is just too much.

1922
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 2: So it ends up being third and eleven and c J.

1923
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 2: Stroud goes back to pass. Now he's got all kinds

1924
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,559
Speaker 2: of receivers on this play. He's got four receivers, I'm sorry,

1925
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 2: three receivers are running back out in the route. His

1926
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 2: loan tight end is Dalton Schultz, but Dalton is helping blocking.

1927
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 2: He's not out in a route. But CJ is buying

1928
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 2: time because he can't find anybody open. He's buying time,

1929
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 2: and Schultz realized everybody was kind of taken care of,

1930
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 2: so he just kind of floats down field and then

1931
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 2: CJ ends up buying enough time to like, Okay, I've

1932
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 2: I've moved round enough, Dalton, you see what you can do.

1933
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:39,600
Speaker 1: And then this happened and he comes in at five a.

1934
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 4: CJ gets the snap, pocket collapsing, Stroud still working, throws

1935
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 4: over the middle, Hitch Schultz stef arm Schultz to his right,

1936
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 4: forty five forty thirty five thirty hit out of bounce

1937
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 4: up a twenty nine yard line.

1938
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: How did he do it? First down? Texans.

1939
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 2: The two linebackers for the Bucks, I think are they

1940
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 2: make up one of the best duos in the league.

1941
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 1: Lavte David and Devin White. The Lote.

1942
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 2: David made a play early in that game where he

1943
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 2: ran from the backside and made a tackle for a

1944
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 2: loss on the opposite side. I saw live and I

1945
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 2: saw it happen, and I don't know that I've seen

1946
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 2: a play like that in a long time. So he's

1947
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 2: one of the best tacklers. They're two of the best

1948
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 2: linebackers together in the league. And on that play, Schultz

1949
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 2: gets out of the tackle of Levante David and then

1950
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 2: he flat runs over Devin White on the sideline and

1951
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 2: that charged everybody up and he gave the Texans a

1952
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 2: first down. So on the following play, the Texans decided,

1953
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 2: you know, we got a little momentum, let's dial one

1954
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 2: up and see if we can get it.

1955
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: And they did it. Five B.

1956
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 2: Tank Dell runs the stutter and go on Carlton Davis

1957
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 2: and CJ. Stroud drops a dime in the back of

1958
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 2: the end zone. This set five B and listen to

1959
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 2: the crowd again.

1960
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 4: DJ and the gun gets the snap, pumps now fires

1961
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:59,480
Speaker 4: deep down the right side and tame down touchdown to Blustuds.

1962
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 1: TD to tech don no Kudes. Texans down one.

1963
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 4: CJ Stroud with some lightning on this drive the throat

1964
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 4: of Schultz. The Schultz catch had run for the first

1965
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 4: and now tell to the end zone. That got the

1966
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 4: lead to twenty three twenty two.

1967
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 2: Texans would miss on the two point conversion, so they

1968
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 2: still trailed by one, but you could tell at this

1969
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 2: point the offense was rolling. It was about at this

1970
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 2: point that we went to a break and we were

1971
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 2: kind of lamenting the fact that they hadn't scored the

1972
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 2: two point conversions and finally said, hey, we're fine, We're

1973
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 2: gonna score another two or three times, which absolutely was

1974
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 2: dead on. So I feel good about that. I made

1975
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 2: a prediction. It was good and it led to the

1976
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 2: two plays at number four. Twenty three to twenty two.

1977
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 2: Quarter flipped over and the Texans got another drive going

1978
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 2: and they got down in the low red zone again.

1979
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 2: After a couple of tricky run plays went nowhere, a

1980
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 2: third down pass was incomplete the n Eco collins this

1981
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 2: fourth down, so down by one, the Miko Ryans had

1982
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 2: decision to make. Does he put Dario goombually out that

1983
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,600
Speaker 2: to kick a field goal or does he go for

1984
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 2: it fourth and goal from the eleven. Now, Daria's field

1985
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 2: goal ended up being twenty nine yards, so he could

1986
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 2: kicked the field goal to take a twenty five to

1987
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 2: twenty three lead, but at that point the Miko felt

1988
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 2: better about, you know what, let's go for this. And

1989
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 2: what a decision that was because CJ. Stroud found Dalton

1990
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 2: Schultz at four a for a touchdown to take the lead.

1991
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 4: Fourth and goal from the nine, Stroud gets the snap.

1992
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 4: Stroud quick throw right side, caught, touchdown Dalton Schultz. The

1993
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:50,959
Speaker 4: Texans are in front on fourth and goal. They convert.

1994
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 4: What a rocket brook CJ. Stroud to the tight end.

1995
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 4: Four touchdown passes DJ strouds. Four different receivers have caught

1996
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,959
Speaker 4: them and then finally you get a two point conversion.

1997
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 4: Texans relied on number seven's legs, not his arm, to

1998
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 4: take a thirty to.

1999
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 1: Twenty three lead. They're going for two.

2000
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:17,759
Speaker 4: Stroud takes the snap, he's gonna run it and CJ

2001
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 4: gets across.

2002
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 2: They get the tooth and the Texans are up seven

2003
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 2: on Tampa bay Man. That was fun up to that point.

2004
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 2: Now before there wasn't as much fun. Texans were down

2005
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 2: seventeen to ten and a half. The Bucks got the

2006
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:36,599
Speaker 2: ball to start the second half, went down and kicked

2007
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 2: the field goals, so they took a twenty to ten lead,

2008
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 2: so it was imperative that the Texans put the ball

2009
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 2: in the end zone and put the ball in the

2010
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 2: end zone fast.

2011
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:46,560
Speaker 1: Now I was thinking five plays, seven play drive, you know,

2012
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: something like that. But go put the ball on the

2013
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: end zone. I was not thinking one play.

2014
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 2: But it was one play and it comes in here

2015
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 2: at number three, no Brown ran a crossing route and

2016
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 2: this is when I knew, you know, the first half

2017
01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 2: we had talked about this a little bit that CJ

2018
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 2: was kind of off a little bit. It felt like,

2019
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: you know, he missed Tank on a deep ball which

2020
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 2: he normally would hit. A couple of the throws were

2021
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 2: just kind of off of the When he made his throw.

2022
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 2: As soon as he makes the throw, I immediately think, Okay,

2023
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 2: he's good because it's a throw. It's a throw, he's

2024
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 2: made a line. It's a crossing route to Noah Brown,

2025
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 2: but it's a crossing route with some teeth. I mean,

2026
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 2: it's a good twenty five to thirty air yard throw.

2027
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 2: And he put it right on the money where Noah

2028
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 2: Brown didn't have to stop, and that was good because

2029
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,719
Speaker 2: Tank gave him a block. And then the fun began

2030
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 2: and number three. Noah Brown takes it to the hoh

2031
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: seventy five yards to make it twenty to sixteen. It's

2032
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 2: at number three.

2033
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 4: CJ fakes the GiB CJ planting and he throws down

2034
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 4: field over the middle and he's got a man Brown

2035
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 4: look side fifty forty lock sideline, full throttle, twenty fifteen.

2036
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: Ten five fighting from a goal line head.

2037
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:56,839
Speaker 4: He's got it touchdown Houston rock and roll seventy five yards.

2038
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: What a block by tank tail?

2039
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 12: I mean you gotta have unselfish players to be successful offensively,

2040
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 12: and some guys just have to flat out do the

2041
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 12: dirty work every once in a while. You all can't

2042
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 12: be stars. And if the block by tankdal I mean

2043
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 12: freeze up. Noah Brown, boy, he.

2044
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 4: Tightrope that sideline, barely stayed in bounds and fought off

2045
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,720
Speaker 4: a defender right inside the ten to get to the

2046
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 4: goal line.

2047
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:29,680
Speaker 2: It was Davis, and he stiff armed him and to

2048
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 2: get across. Okay, I thought long and hard about two

2049
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,600
Speaker 2: to one, not too too hard. I feel bad for

2050
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 2: Daria Goomblewalle because this play normally would be number one,

2051
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:45,360
Speaker 2: but because of the way the game ended, it's not.

2052
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 2: Now had Deyandre Houston Carson been able to hang on

2053
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 2: to the fumble, this would have been number one, and

2054
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 2: the fubber recovery probably is somewhere in the altern eleven two.

2055
01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 2: But he Mike Evans knocked out his hands recovered it

2056
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 2: the Bucks score and so it made the last forty

2057
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 2: six seconds more memorable than it needed to be. But

2058
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:10,400
Speaker 2: score tied at thirty ball at the eleven yard line,

2059
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 2: do you go forward again or do you try a

2060
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 2: running back at kicker to see if you could take

2061
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 2: the lead. I can't even imagine what Tmiko Ryans was

2062
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 2: going through. We've talked about this after the game. We

2063
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 2: talked about on his Coaches show. He seemed very calm

2064
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 2: in the moment and was relying on Frank Ross or

2065
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 2: Frank's like, yeah, he's got this, He's got this. And

2066
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 2: that's why you saw Frank so excited because he vouched

2067
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:38,439
Speaker 2: for Dara, and when you do that to the head coach,

2068
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 2: it's got to come through.

2069
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 1: Well, Daria Goomblewallee came through.

2070
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:45,679
Speaker 2: It's the first made field goal by a non kicker

2071
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 2: punter since two thousand and four. Wes Welker did it

2072
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 2: with the Patriot I'm sorry with the Dolphins. That's how

2073
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 2: long ago it was nineteen years ago. Daria Goomblewalle's field

2074
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 2: goal comes into number two and it's glorious.

2075
01:30:58,280 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 1: Oh, they're going to try a field goal.

2076
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 4: Here we go with some dramatic stuff here for Frank

2077
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 4: Ross's Special Teams unit. A Gunbowale will try it a

2078
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:11,519
Speaker 4: twenty nine yard attempt from the left. Hash Mark Weeks

2079
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 4: will snap, Cameron Johnston will hold a Gunbowale, the running

2080
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 4: back for the lead snaps down the kick us off.

2081
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 4: But it's good. Story of Goobale for three and the

2082
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 4: Texans are back in front. Are you kidding?

2083
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 12: We may be watching the changing of the game today

2084
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:40,240
Speaker 12: and how it's played and how rosters are filled out.

2085
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, yeahmra, I mean his game was truly the whole

2086
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 2: game was unbelievable. And he came down to forty six

2087
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 2: seconds left. Now, the last drive is tremendous and I

2088
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 2: could have put every plan in the drive. He throws

2089
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 2: the check down, the Shoultz don't gets out of bounds.

2090
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:59,760
Speaker 2: He throws the second All right, don't take time out,

2091
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 2: so there's a second one of Dalton. He is stacked

2092
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 2: near your sideline. They gotta take a time out. With

2093
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:09,560
Speaker 2: thirty one seconds left. CJ hits Noah Brown.

2094
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 1: Two.

2095
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:13,200
Speaker 2: I believe it was I don't know, somewhere on the

2096
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:15,600
Speaker 2: forty yard line, but they gotta go up and spike it.

2097
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 2: They spike it their sixteen seconds left. Now you're thinking,

2098
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 2: sixteen seconds left? Can I get one more throw over

2099
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 2: the middle, spike it and maybe take one shot at

2100
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 2: the end zone. You'd like to get to the sideline,

2101
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 2: but they're not gonna let you get to the sideline.

2102
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 2: Right right, they're not gonna let you get to the sideline. Well,

2103
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 2: these last two plays are absolutely magical. The first one

2104
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 2: is CJ hitting Tank on the sideline to the fifteen

2105
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 2: yard line to stop the clock after the spike.

2106
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 4: Second and ten at the forty one yard line of

2107
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 4: the Bucks, CJ and the gun one back.

2108
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: Here's the snap.

2109
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 4: Stroud looking, Stroud throwing deep and he's got Tank down

2110
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:53,919
Speaker 4: along the sideline.

2111
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 1: But if you make the catch, yes in the red

2112
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: zone at.

2113
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:01,760
Speaker 4: The fifteen yard line, now you got time to make

2114
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 4: a couple of take a couple of shots to the

2115
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 4: end zone.

2116
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:07,240
Speaker 1: If it's quick. It's three of them with.

2117
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 4: Ten seconds to go, Del looking at the replay. One

2118
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:17,679
Speaker 4: foot down, two feet down, the toe tapper, nice drag

2119
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:18,519
Speaker 4: of the left foot.

2120
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 2: You saw the little black tire shreds or whatever pop up,

2121
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 2: and you thought, okay he made that catch. Okay, good.

2122
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 2: Now ten seconds left you at the fifteen yard line.

2123
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:33,600
Speaker 2: You got a couple shots for the end zone. I

2124
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 2: mean it's still a low percentage. You gotta go to

2125
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 2: the end zone. You can't get tackled shore of the

2126
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 2: en zone. The game's over. This has to go to

2127
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 2: the end zone.

2128
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: And it did. Is that number one b the game winner?

2129
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 4: Strouding the gun empty backfield after motion first down of

2130
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 4: the Bucks, fifteen, ten seconds to go.

2131
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 1: CJ gets the snap. CJ looking throwing to the end zone. Yes,

2132
01:33:55,960 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 1: slid so with the rest up, said Rock and pro.

2133
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 1: My goodness, wanta come back?

2134
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 2: Oh yes, what a comeback? What a comeback? Hopefully there

2135
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 2: won't be a comeback this weekend. Hopefully it'll just be

2136
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 2: full throttle. Get to win at Cincinnati and fly home

2137
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 2: with the dub. A lot of work with a lot

2138
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:22,360
Speaker 2: of injured players, a lot of guys out to be

2139
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 2: able to do that. But gotta go fight. And if

2140
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 2: I know anything about this, team. They'll fight, there's no

2141
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,240
Speaker 2: question about that. Appreciate Noah Brown, True Doherty for being

2142
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:34,760
Speaker 2: here for sure, James Palmer, Mark Vandermer, Demko, Ryans, Ben McDaniels,

2143
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:35,800
