1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday. We are

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: talking Bears, we are looking back a little bit to Denver,

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: and I've got Mark Vanermer and Drew Doherty in studio

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: with me. Hi, I'm Dpcido and lots to get into

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: for today's show. Mark, I mean, I know you guys

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: sat down with Kimie Fairbairn. Yes, we were for the

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Texans on Sunday, and it seems like the big news

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: of the week is just getting back on track. A

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: lot of football left is what we heard from the

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: players today. Yeah, of course, like a lot of football

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: left is Why does it seem like it's not that

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: that's sort of the narrative. If you're struggling and you

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: have eight seven games to go, there a lot of

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: football left. The season is left. We haven't even started practically, right,

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: and you look at the way the division is going.

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: A lot of opportunity left, okay, a ton of opportunity.

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: Even if you're O and two and everyone else's two

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: and oh, you still have an opportunity as long as

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: you're halfway decent. But this just in breaking news. They

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: have to play better offense. We won't get that analysis

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: anywhere else but right here. Yeah, everybody's angry in the building,

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: coaches in the building, people who work in the building, fans,

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: everybody's angry. Yeah, you didn't look good on Sunday in

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: a game you should have won. You should angry. I

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: don't feel angry. I feel disappointed and angry that you

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: didn't win. Anger is I don't know if that's the emotion.

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. I'm angry every time they don't

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: in one of those games that you think they are

29
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: pretty angry because I feel like it was a winnable game.

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Not angry, angry, not angry like frustrated. Yeah, frustrating is good.

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: Sports angry, sports angry like you talk about sports hate.

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm sports angry. Well, because you had the lead in

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of each of these first two games,

34
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: unable to get it going offensively in those quarters. It's

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: not oh and two, it's oh one and one. We

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: have a long way to go here, but that tie

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: could come into play really handy later, but you want

38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: to make it so that's the case, So you have

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: to play better in order to make that happen. And

40
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: as Texans president pointed out at lunch a week or

41
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: so ago. Now you can just kind of put your

42
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: hand over the one when you look at the schedule

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: when it's ultimately finished the season and say, oh, yeah,

44
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: they were ten and six, or they were nine and

45
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: seven or water, and then you just throw the one

46
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: in all it's like the old days of the sixteen

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: game skin easy to keep track of that. Yeah, it's

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: very hard to keep track of the seventeen games in

49
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. I still have a hard time saying Week

50
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: eighteen or the final week of the season, sounds odd.

51
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: All right, players were back in the building because, of

52
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: course under Levy Smith, players have Monday off, so back

53
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: in the building. They addressed the media today, and let's

54
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: get in some of your hot reads, shall we. The

55
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Bills dominated last night in a forty one seven win

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: over the Titans, and now the Jags are the only

57
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: AFC South team with a win so far this season.

58
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: Let that sink in, only AFC South team. That actually

59
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: does me be angry because I think watching the Titans

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: lose so poor badly, I just thought if the Texans

61
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: had won this game, how different would the conversation be

62
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: this week heading into Chicago. I mean, it's not too

63
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: late obviously you can still win Chicago and one one

64
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: and one, which I think is also weird to say, right,

65
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: the weird the one at the end is very weird.

66
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by how good or how bad the Titans

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: actually are. Is that actually how bad they are? I

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: don't think so. They got smoked on the road against

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: the team that could probably win the Super Bowl, but

70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: clearly they've backslid a little bit from where they've been.

71
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: I think, so how are they? Well, you're you're going

72
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: transitive here, because the Giants beat them, and they beat Carolina.

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Carolina played the Browns tough, but they lost to the Jets.

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: So who's any good and who's really bad? You don't

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: know yet, but you do know that the Titans should

76
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: have played better at Buffalo. It felt like early on

77
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: when Henry scored that touchdown, Okay, they're gonna hang in

78
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: here for a while, right, Not so much? And the

79
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: pick six by Tannehill was a really bad throw. I mean,

80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: seldom are pick six is good throws, but it was

81
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: very strange. But Leik Willis gets into the game, he

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: doesn't really do that well. He's won for four He

83
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: got black, as did trying to run for a first down,

84
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: and the Titans just said, look, we got a regroup,

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: let's get out of here, let's get on the plane.

86
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: Let's try to do better next week. They had the

87
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Raiders next. Deeply brought up the Jags being in first

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: place and beating the Colts the way they did. Yeah,

89
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: the Colts only handing off to Taylor nine times, Matt

90
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Ryan sacked five times, he throws three interceptions. That was

91
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: a good defensive effort by the Jags, who didn't run

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: it that great themselves. But Trevor Lawrence played well enough,

93
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: and you get three picks, you get three spots like

94
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: that for your offense. They made the most of it.

95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care. If you're down twenty

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: eight to nothing at the end of the first quarter.

97
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: You don't have with that team, the Colts. You do

98
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: not have to throw sixty times to get back in

99
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: that game. You can still give the ball to Jonathan

100
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: Taylor and chip away that lead. Yeah, that's unconsfortable. That's

101
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: a firing offense, I think. And you cannot drop Matt

102
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: Ryan back a lot at this stage in his career.

103
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: Did you not watch Game one? Colts coach passes in

104
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: the first game. He threw fifty passes in the first game.

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor ran thirty one times. I just thought back

106
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: to a few weeks ago when we talked about Matt

107
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Ryan being the Colts quarterback and how this is an

108
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: upgrade for them because they were at least he'll have

109
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: ball security, he won't turn the ball over. So the

110
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: three interceptions is just a little dump funding. But I

111
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: think that, you know, with these teams that lose it,

112
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: even Texans included, it's like, you know, one problem leads

113
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: to problems in all the other areas, which are probably

114
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: fine in a normal week. The Colts out two receivers,

115
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: then obviously they can't run the ball because they've got

116
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: no passing game, and then it just leads. It's just

117
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: like a domino effect of things that happened. Now, if

118
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: they get Michael Pittman back, maybe Sunday or in a

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: week or so, I wonder how it changes. But if

120
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: they don't, if they don't without him and Alec Pierce,

121
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans did a number on the Colts

122
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: in Week one. They created a lot of havoc and

123
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: caused a lot of injury. So I mean a twenty

124
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: four to nothing. I don't think anyone saw that coming,

125
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: but that could keep sliding if they don't get their

126
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: receivers back. Well, it's one of those. And you see

127
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: this on the morning talk shows right on ESPN or

128
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football in the NFL network. More surprising Jags

129
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: being that good or Colts being that bad? And which

130
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: is it? Like I said, it's still early to really

131
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: judge these things. That Jags do look better. They look

132
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: better along the defensive front, no doubt. Trayvon Walker really

133
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: good first game. And look what they did in the

134
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: second game. I mean, they got after it with the

135
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: five sacks and Lawrence didn't turn it over, which is big.

136
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: That's gonna bode well for them. They didn't run it

137
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards to Jags, but that was a

138
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: tremendous win. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that they

139
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: beat the Colts in Jacksonville, because they always do they do.

140
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Think about this, The Jags are six and thirty in

141
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: their last thirty six games, and three of the wins

142
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: are against the Colts. That's wild, that's astounding, all right.

143
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: So the Texans and Colts are tied for second in

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: the division behind the Jags, and then the Titans fall

145
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: to last place in division at O and two. Jonathan

146
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: Grenard he talked about how this AFC South Division is

147
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: wide open still for this Houston Texans team. I mean,

148
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: it's again of season and we're all kind of at

149
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: the level playing field. I'm obviously that we taught first week,

150
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: so it didn't hurt this but it didn't help us.

151
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: But at the same time, we also understand it in

152
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: this division, anybody can get beat on any given Sunday. So, um,

153
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: it's always a progressive You've just got to make sure

154
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: you bring it. I've just seen Jacksonville just put a

155
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: goose Indy. So it's just simple things like that. How

156
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,119
Speaker 1: the Roses literally switched like that. That's which the AFC

157
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: South game can be. So we're gonna bring it in then,

158
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: and that's that's what we got to do every single

159
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: week because you never know, all right. So up next

160
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: the Texans head to Chicago Week three, and as far

161
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: as the other teams, it will be Chiefs at the Colts,

162
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: which will also be a tall task for Indie Chiefs

163
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: or two and oh, then the O and two Raiders

164
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: at the Titans and Jaguars at Chargers. Both teams are

165
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: at one and one. So that's just your look ahead

166
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: to the division and how that's all going to play

167
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: out in Sunday. So the Texans, if they can win Sunday,

168
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they're in a great spot in the division.

169
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: We need the Jags to lose, but soften up the

170
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Chargers because they're gonna be at NRG Stadium October second

171
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: next home game. And I don't know what to make

172
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: of the Bears yet because they won that rain soaked

173
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: monsoon game against the forty nine Ers on Opening Day.

174
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: And I've taught to Jeff Joni Act, the voice of

175
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: the Bears, and he said, yeah, you can't judge anything

176
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: from that game. I mean, give the Bears credit because

177
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: they made some plays in the second half and then

178
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: they get really taken to the woodshed by the Packers,

179
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: which is nothing new. They're so sick of losing to

180
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: Green Bay in Chicago. They've done it so often. Aaron

181
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers does own that franchise. So I don't know what

182
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: to make of the Bears, but I think it's gonna

183
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: be a low scoring, close game. It's gonna be a

184
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: lot like the Denver game where somebody's gonna make a

185
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: play in the fourth quarter and that's going to tip

186
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: the scales, and you hope it's the Texans. Yeah, and

187
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: it's another week where you're going to see a rushing

188
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: attack that's, you know, pretty potent. It's a different looking

189
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: rusher right in Montgomery's compact. But hey, he basically made

190
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: you dead on arrival. Two years ago during the COVID

191
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: year when you played these guys in December, you were

192
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: coming off a game against the Colts in which you

193
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: almost had a chance to win, and you're thinking, okay, well,

194
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you can do some things that in the

195
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: month of December and kind of make things look a

196
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: little bit better. And he gets the ball and like

197
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: the first second, third play of the game or so,

198
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: and just runs wild and it's a long, sunny, cold

199
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: day in Chicago. Just walloped the Texas. That was a

200
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: bad day. That was such a bad day and a

201
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: weird year because obviously empty stadiums. Not all the stadiums

202
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,479
Speaker 1: were empty, that was one of them. Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh,

203
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: empty stadiums, just a terrible non atmosphere. But so what

204
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, they performed the Texans didn't. And you know,

205
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: Houston did play better obviously, beat Detroit with the empty

206
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: stadium on Thanksgiving, hung in there with Pittsburgh but ultimately folded.

207
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: But with the Bears, that was inexplicable, you know, And

208
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: that was Mitchell Trubisky right now, he's in Pittsburgh. One

209
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: of the worst losses of the season. Yeah, yeah, it

210
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: was terrible, and that was that was obviously a bad season.

211
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: But there were a lot of close games. That wasn't

212
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: one of them. Right. Well, this Bears team in the Texans,

213
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at what they're talking about

214
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: as far as these first two games have gone, they're

215
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: so similar. I was looking at if look at justin

216
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: fields number seven of eleven for seventy yards, I mean,

217
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: talk about wanting to get the passing game going a

218
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean that is what Matt Eberflus, also

219
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: a defensive minded coach like Lovi Smith, He's talking about

220
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: getting the passing game going. He had twenty yards of

221
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: rushing in a touchdown, so they did score touchdown in

222
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: Week two. But to your point, Drew David Montgomery Sunday

223
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two yards on fifteen attempts and

224
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: then just as a team, it's one hundred and eighty

225
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: yards and then the justin Fields rushing touchdowns, that's the

226
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: phenomenal seven to ten. Well, they were one of seven

227
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: on third down. That's a big problem. Similar to the Texans,

228
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: who also didn't do great on two of thirteen on

229
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: third down. So similar percentage right there. But the Bears,

230
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Assarius said, Fields, obviously he's a quarterback,

231
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: but he's kind of built like a running back. He's

232
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: a dangerous runner. And they ran him eight times on Sunday,

233
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna do whatever they can, whatever

234
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: it takes, I should say, to get the victory. They're

235
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: not afraid to run Fields, But how do you only

236
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: throw it eleven times? But they ran it. They still

237
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: managed to run twenty seven times, even though the Packers

238
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: were starting to pull away with this thing. You know,

239
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things. The Packers do own them.

240
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: I think the Bears are a team that's developing. You

241
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: have the two second year quarterbacks going at it. Both

242
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: guys want to show out, as Lovey would say, because

243
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, Mills knows he didn't throw the ball well

244
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday fifty percent completion rate. That's not him. He's

245
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: got to get back into the mid sixties. They've got

246
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: to get back to converting third downs. Pierce is running

247
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: the ball. Better, give them more opportunities by converting third

248
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: downs and the whole result will be better. But it's

249
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: just not there yet. Hey, we set the over under

250
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: DP and I did at fifteen and a half for

251
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: touches last week. Okay for Damien Pier just under well,

252
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: actually we're all just over sixteen touches because he had

253
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the fifteen carries, the one catch that's a tick and

254
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: uptick of what four touches? You think it goes up

255
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: this week after seeing what he did. I mean there

256
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: was a strap. After he gets stopped for that loss

257
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: of four on a third and one in the early

258
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: first quarter, he goes on a tear through like the

259
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: middle of the third where he has three double digit

260
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: or yeah, three double digit yard runs, right, He's like

261
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: a seven yard or a five yard or an eight

262
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: yard His worst run was for four yards. Yeah when

263
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: he gets only four year thinking, oh only four last year?

264
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: We didn't look for as a team last year. Yeah,

265
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean he was remarkable in between then give it

266
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: to him more. What did you think? And you can

267
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: throw it to him too, he said at some point

268
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, they were no more curious. Last

269
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: time he touched the ball in the game was eleven

270
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: twenty two, remaining, Well, you know they're looking at that today,

271
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: and I think that happens with a lot of teams

272
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: where they sort of a bandon the run. You were

273
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: talking about the Cults with Jonathan Taylor over the weekend.

274
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: They get into a situation where like, we have to score,

275
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: get something ignited. What you can get plus minutes ago,

276
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: handing off to him is a good idea to throw

277
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: it to him too. He's you can catch and get yard.

278
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: If I'm the defense, I don't want to see him

279
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands in any way, shape

280
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: or form. You know, I know, running plays if you're

281
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: expecting it obviously a lot easier to stop. But they

282
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: might not be expecting it, especially if you're down and

283
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: you know you're sort of in a semi hurry up mode,

284
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: like an urgent mode, if you will. The first play

285
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: of the game, remember it was thrown into the dirt

286
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: because Pierce was kind of held up at the line,

287
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: but Johnny broke down that play and he said, man,

288
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: if somehow they can just get it to Pierce, he's

289
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: gonna run for a while. Like that was a good

290
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: play idea. They just didn't execute it. Pierce got held

291
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: up or maybe held ladies and gentlemen, but unable to

292
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: break free. And Mill saw it right away because they're

293
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: trying to set up a screen, so they're looking at

294
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: a jailbreak coming toward Mills, and he knows the ball

295
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: is going to come out one way or another, so

296
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: he gets it out without turning it over, which he's

297
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: been good at, you know, not turning it over this year.

298
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: The other side of that is, yeah, he did have

299
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: the sack fumble in the Colts game. The balls on

300
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: the ground two more times in the Broncos game. You know,

301
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: if they get one or two or both of those,

302
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: we're singing a very different tune today. This game is

303
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: completely out of control. They maintained possession, maintained not control,

304
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: but striking distance in that game. They got to play

305
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: better this just in again breaking news. Have to play

306
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: better against the Bears. It's an interesting point. So if

307
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: he had continued to get carries, they had two more

308
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: positions after that final carry that he had, so he

309
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: would have been on pasted what maybe at least four

310
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: more carries you could say in two Well it's hard

311
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: to say, it's hard extrapolate, but I'm guessing maybe this week,

312
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: if they keep him in for the entire game and

313
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: they use them in those final drives like that number

314
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: should go up. I would assume you'd think, well, for

315
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: whatever reason, they still feel like pass pro it's got

316
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: to be Birkhead in a third down or obvious passing situation.

317
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: For the most part, maybe that changes. And look, you

318
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: don't want to you really don't want to wear a

319
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: pierce out. You know, you have a whole season in

320
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: front of you, but you gotta win these games, so

321
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: you gotta balance how you handle that. But I just look,

322
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: you love what you see out of the kid, those

323
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: last two drives, the one where he hits Nieto, then

324
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: he hits Brandon Cooks, and all of a sudden, you're

325
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: inside there forty again. They had two first downs inside

326
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: the forty late game, unable to move it farther, and

327
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: they gotta live with it. So okay, you're right there

328
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: with Denver with a Hall of fame quarterback in their building. Good,

329
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: but you can't get moral victory. At least you're playing

330
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: these things close. Go to Chicago and win, all right.

331
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of going to Chicago, Lovey Smith talked about going

332
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: back to Chicago, where he coached for nine seasons. Here's

333
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: what he had to say about the Week three matchup

334
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: at Soldier Fields. Would be a little different this week

335
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: compared to the previous two games. That we play running

336
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: back attack. They'll even use they have two excellent running

337
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: backs that they'll play. The mobile quarterback Justin Fields. We'll

338
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: take off and run. You know, Russell Wilson, he's moving

339
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: around to buy time to pass the ball. Justin will

340
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: do that a little bit. But it's also move around

341
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: and take off and run the football. But we have

342
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: our We feel like that's how we set our defense up.

343
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: You know, athletes let athletes on the field to be

344
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: able to handle a mobile quarterback that can run. I

345
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: know it'll be a big, big challenge for us this week.

346
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: All right. So, like we said, the players are back

347
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: at work after a Monday off, and the key this

348
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: week more offensive production. That's what the texts want to

349
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: improve on. Moving forward to his I told you more production.

350
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: He actually he's had more production all around, but he

351
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: specifically also said more offensive production because it guess what,

352
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: Mark not scoring points is not good? No touchdowns? Thank you,

353
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: thank you. See you're starting to see well. He feels

354
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: like even though they got the one turnover and they're Drew,

355
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: where's my turnover margin? Email? Tuesday's not over? The sun

356
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: has not seven days Calm Drew usually sends out a

357
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: turnover margins. They're now plus two in turnover differential as

358
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: of yesterday. That was tied for fourth fifth in the NFL.

359
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: So that's pretty good. There's about three other teams that

360
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: are plus two right now. Yeah, like Philly, I would

361
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: assume after last night's performance. Yeah, I'd have to look

362
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: at the numbers against the Vikings. Kurt, Yeah, her cousins

363
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: through three. I mean I just turned on the game

364
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: and three drives ended in three interceptions. Yeah, it's pretty good.

365
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: Tanella two right, two including a pick six, which is

366
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: a double win, which is the win he got. Probably

367
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: gets through one and like, you know, the opponent thirty

368
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: yard line and they have a long field to go. No,

369
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: you allowed them to score on that very same play.

370
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Now you're back up on offense. Good luck with that.

371
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: I think after the pick sixth though, that was it

372
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: for him, right, that's when they took him out of

373
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: the game and put Mollie Collins. Not Mollie Collins, Malik

374
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: will Mollie Collins at quarterback. Everybody Malik will listen at

375
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: the game and I was looking through Mike Rabels press

376
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: conference after the game. Yeah, that was just too They

377
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: just took all their starters out at that point. They

378
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: just took everybody out because they felt the game was

379
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: an ill the Bills, I mean, Keenam played more than

380
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: a quarter. Josh Allen was out at the beginning of

381
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Yeah, Von Miller is out. A fantasy owner,

382
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: I was a bit as a partner by that, but

383
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta I get why they Well, they

384
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: have a big one with Miami on Sunday, right, it's

385
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: a Monday night. Yeah, rest up, ice up, get ready

386
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. It's a big AFC East matchup. How

387
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: about this? This is the big game in the AFC East.

388
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything on this yet, but I'm gonna

389
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: declare this without the Patriots since when I don't know,

390
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: but the biggest AFC East game without New England, and

391
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's a really I would think, right, yeah,

392
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean I was. I would imagine at some point

393
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: they had something, but no, the Bills. The Bills got

394
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: good in the mid to late teens. The Dolphins really,

395
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: you know, they've been fighting to get back into it

396
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, when was the last time both of

397
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: those teams were good and the Patriots were not good?

398
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: That's I'm sure there's like an outlier maybe in between

399
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: Jets in one in this century, but I think you

400
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: gotta go back to the nineties. Fit see with the

401
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: Jets versus the Bills was pretty big at the end

402
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: of the year. But the Bills weren't any good or

403
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: they weren't good enough. And fitz he was trying to

404
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: make the playoffs with the Jets, remember that one that

405
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: was that was Todd Bowles and he didn't get the win,

406
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: so they didn't make the postseason. But yeah, this for

407
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: a Week three game, this is monument and it doesn't

408
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: involve New England. Texans are tied for seventh and turnover differential.

409
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: By the way, They're tied with two other teams, the

410
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: Niners and the charge. I want to be tied for

411
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: seventh and the power rankings. Not that does mean anything,

412
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: but if you are, that means you're probably pretty de

413
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: turnover Chicago's one behind their plus one on the season,

414
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: so there you go. Yeah, okay, I think we were

415
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: I feel like we're due for a score, aren't we

416
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: on turnovers? I mean, yes, yes, Steve, that's the first

417
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: thing defense speaking into existence. Yes, because somebody should score.

418
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars are plus five they leave the league, so really

419
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: I saw Brian Balding our breakdown tweet today and he

420
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: said the Jags are three at OZ and they're like,

421
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, they're not in their last three. They're

422
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: not three and oz or no, he said, Lawrence is

423
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: three and OZ in his last three starts, and I'm

424
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: thinking that's not true either. Why not? Well, they lost

425
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: to Washington on opening weekends. He forgot about that. Yeah,

426
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: and that would count as a start, I would think,

427
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: So I was thinking of the wins. But yeah, they

428
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: didn't win in week one, so they're one and one.

429
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: Why does it feel like they they're posting like they're

430
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 1: two and oh three and now because one and one

431
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: to the Jags after two weeks is like, yeah, that's

432
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 1: a lot, although I shouldn't pooh pooh them because had

433
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: the Texas one on Sunday, I'd be pretty happy. Right now.

434
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: We would be like mapping out playoffs scenarios like I

435
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: like to do that. I know everybody else, But everyone's saying, oh,

436
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: the AIRCR South's not any good. I'm like, that's good.

437
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: I like, this'll take it. I'll keep this theme going

438
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: the AFC South, except for the Texans, of course. Let

439
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: them get better and somehow, somehow prevailed. But it's only

440
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: week two. It makes it competitive. At least you feel like, okay,

441
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: you've you lost, but you can bounce back and still

442
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: be in position. It's still early, like everyone says, a

443
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: lot of football left, all right. One more bit of

444
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: news the Pro Football Hall of Fame nominees. They were

445
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: announced for the class of twenty twenty three. And I

446
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: feel like I tweeted this and I wanted drew to

447
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: obligatory quote tweet Andre Johnson belongs and the Pro Football

448
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame I've already quote tweeted yes, oh okay, belongs,

449
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: he belongs. I gotta go back and this is uh,

450
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: this is not new with the three of us ever

451
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: since we've been doing these shows together. Remember that the

452
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: first year we did it was at the Texans Grill together,

453
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: the three of us, and every time he would break

454
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: a new milestone, which was weekly, like he'd pass something

455
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: Art Monk on the this reception, and we would always

456
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: bring it up because I'm telling you, man, despite what

457
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: he did. In twenty eleven, Texans were playing at New

458
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: Orleans and a very prominent national football writer was watching

459
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: that game. He votes for the Hall of Fame, has

460
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: voted for it for a long time, and he was

461
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: astounded and amazed at this one play that Andrea Johnson

462
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: did where Andrea was wide open and caught a pass

463
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: for by twenty five yards. And it's something that he

464
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: did two three times a week, you know, and had

465
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: done two three times a week for a decade. And

466
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: it's like this guy had never seen it before. And

467
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: when I heard, when I saw him tweet this this astonishment,

468
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: I thought to myself. Then I was like, Oh, it's

469
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for Dre when Hall of Fame voting

470
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: comes up, because this guy doesn't yeah he If this

471
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: guy doesn't notice, I know a lot of other voters

472
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: don't so Andre still on the list. He's on the

473
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: list and in another former time marks like yeah, yeah, yeah,

474
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: Drew Hurry, I love that. This is Drew soapbox like

475
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: whenever we see Andre Johnson Drews in the Hall of Fame.

476
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm here for it. I'm totally here for it.

477
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: But another guy that you love, Shane Leckler, paid the

478
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: list for the first time. He's now eligible, so we

479
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: can certainly claim Leckler. He spent enough years here from Texas.

480
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: But he's also a raider. Yeah, I mean he's from Texas.

481
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: But he's from Texas, so that helps. He's in. I mean,

482
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: he'll get in. He's very Texas. I'm fishing with him.

483
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm fishing with him twice. He and his brother Derek. Boy,

484
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: that's content we can bring back, sure, because that has

485
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: no references to anything happening at the time. No, fish

486
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: don't really change that much. It wasn't That was a

487
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: fun time when Leckler signed here and he was punting

488
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: and JJ Watt said, it's like a work of what

489
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: do you say, a symphony or work of art. It

490
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: was after the Texans went to two and oh in

491
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, and I think Lechler was dropping. Oh he

492
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: shot at like the four. Yeah, yeah, he was different.

493
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: You know, we had Matt Turk here, he was pretty good,

494
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: but Leckler was a different animal man. Matt Turk is

495
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: also on the list. Is he really? He's up with

496
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: more text he's up with So here's the puncher k

497
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: along with his fifteen other teams, Leckler, Pat McAfee and

498
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: Matt Turk. Is gonna be a tough year for Leckler

499
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: because Lecler's first. Those guys shn Lndetta, Yeah, Sean Landetta,

500
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: that's an old, that's a that's a blast. He punted

501
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: in the USFL too. I believe listen, if uh, if

502
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: you ask those guys McAfee and Turk about Lecler, they'll

503
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: say Leckler belongs in ahead of me. Yeah. They would

504
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: both say, oh yeah, if he's got better marketing. Though,

505
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: I feel like McAfee has said mcafe's had Lecler on

506
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: a show and like Matt he like worships Like, yeah,

507
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: McAfee would give us, give give up his spot actually

508
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: a good publicity stunt. Let's just why don't you suggested

509
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter? Sure, if you really love Lechler, if you

510
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: get in, give up your spot for Lechler, Actually give

511
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: up your spot for Andre Johnson if need be. That's

512
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: the important one because Leckler will get in eventually, and

513
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: I think Andre will too. But you don't want years

514
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: to go by here and then all of a sudden

515
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: it's like, well, and then it just doesn't happen because

516
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: there are a lot of first time guys on this

517
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: ballot that are going to be tough to knock out.

518
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: So let's just see how it plays out. Another second

519
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: year guy that's on there that Lovey talks about quite

520
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: a bit, Devin Hester. He's a Hall of Famer. I

521
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: think so too. I think so to. In fact, you know,

522
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: I mentioned Jeff Joni Act, the Voice of the Bears,

523
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: and he was saying that in that Lovey Smith Bear

524
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: era going to the Super Bowl and everything, that Hester

525
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: was just the difference maker. I mean, getting all those

526
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: non offensive touchdowns, field position, whatever. That was such a

527
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: huge factor for that team because they were never great

528
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: on offense, but it really helped them. Hell, he scored

529
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: the first points of that Super Bowl. I mean, yeah,

530
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: the game, Yeah yeah, I mean that's remarkable. All right,

531
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: So the list of modern Air nominees they're going to

532
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: be whittled down to twenty five semifinalists in November and

533
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: then fifteen finalists after that, and then the names will

534
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: be announced in early January. So something to keep an

535
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: eye on. Two punters, and we'll be watching. We'll be watching,

536
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: all right. Let's take a break when we come back.

537
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: Some reasons for optimism because a lot of stuff is

538
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: happening around the NFL. Some future opponents of the Texans,

539
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: what they did this weekend, What we should be looking

540
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: for All that's coming up on Texans All Access. Welcome

541
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: back for more Texans All Access. We're looking ahead to

542
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: the Bears right now. We've got reasons for optimism some

543
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: of us are as. Drew calls it sports angry after

544
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: the loss on Sunday sixteen to nine to the Broncos.

545
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: But Texans can bounce back with a win at Chicago

546
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: because the division is wide open. Reasons for optimism. I'd

547
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: like to ask both of you. Reasons for optimism. Start

548
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: with both of you. I got I got some there's

549
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: help on the way we saw it this week with

550
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: Rashim Green, he made his Texans debut and it was

551
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: a nice debut, A sack and half five tackles. He

552
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: was active. Lovey Smith said he was really good against

553
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: the run. You saw the sacks, but look at what

554
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: he did against the run when he was in there.

555
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: So that was a guy who came back or came

556
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, and got out there in week two. Maybe

557
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: this week, do we see Tyler Johnson, a wide receiver

558
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: who was claimed off the waiver wire. We might not,

559
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: but he could be on the way and he could

560
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: be some help for Davis Mills in the offense. Philip

561
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: Dorsett was inactive last week. Philip Dorsecond helped change the

562
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: game with that speed he has. Maybe he comes out

563
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: and he's active. Maybe the both of them are active.

564
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: And then looking ahead to week five, does Mario Addison,

565
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: the defensive end led the Bills in sacks last year,

566
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: does he come out? Does Christian Harris come off the

567
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: ir the rookie linebacker who spent a third round pick

568
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: on at Alabama. So there's help on the way. These

569
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: guys could be difference makers. Don't know how much of

570
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: a difference, but they could be positive additions to your squad.

571
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Here in the next week, the next month. There's one

572
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: little I get another one too, but go for it. Well,

573
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: Damian peers to me, that's the reason for optimism. When

574
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: he's in there, it's definitely noticeable. He affects the game,

575
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 1: the defense, the offense. Everybody notices it. Everybody gets fired

576
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: up about it. It's very physical. I mean he's getting

577
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: eight yards, like we talked about, When he only gets four,

578
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, only four, which is still a healthy carry.

579
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: They need to find a way to get him the

580
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: ball more. I think this is coach VanderMeer saying this,

581
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: if he could get and you know, they try to

582
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: mention that first player of the game that didn't go,

583
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: they got him another catch later, three four catches a

584
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: game along with the carries. But they also need the compliment,

585
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: whether it's Birkhead or Royce Freeman or Gunbuale or whoever

586
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: they decide to implement. They still need a two punch

587
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: to go with the one, which is Piers. So yeah,

588
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: running the ball better is going to help. And I

589
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: just think that Mills wasn't himself. I don't know what

590
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: went down in that department, maybe pressure in the pocket

591
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: or whatever, but Pep's got to figure it out. And

592
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: this is his first year as a coordinator here with

593
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: these guys, it's a young team on the rise. They

594
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: have a lot to learn every week. Should get a

595
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: little bit better on offense. When you look at Kenyan Green,

596
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: rookie on the offensive line, Nico Collins, second year wide receiver,

597
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Mills second year quarterback, Pierce first year running back. You

598
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: have to find a way to let these guys mature develop.

599
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: It takes a while with offense. So let's see if

600
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: they can get something rolling against the Bears on Sunday.

601
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: In talking about Pierce, one thing that really hasn't come

602
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: up yet, and one thing that I've I wonder about

603
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot, is this. Okay, Obviously, the day after a

604
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: football game, you're hurting, I'm never gonna know. You're never

605
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna go whever, you know, because we've never done it.

606
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: But a lot of these guys are worn out in

607
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: a lot of pain. But how much more pain or

608
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: some of these defenders from the Broncos and a week

609
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: ago from the Colts after having to contend with Damian Pierce.

610
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't just go down and get tackled.

611
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: He makes you feel it and it's a pretty violent collision.

612
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: And he had about what sixteen of them last Sunday.

613
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I wonder how they're feeling after that, after dealing with

614
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: that guy, because that's a lot to tangle with, it

615
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: looks like, and maybe it's maybe it's just a smidge more.

616
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a whole lot more. I don't know, but

617
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: that's one thing that I wonder. I'll give you a

618
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: reason for optimism. I feel sorry, Oh I need it.

619
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: I was not expecting. I was like, oh, well, I was,

620
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: I was, I was. I was just about to do that.

621
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about offensive production. The offense needs

622
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: to get going. Agree with all of that, but I

623
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: think that the underlying storyline about how well this defense

624
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: has been playing. I mean, I think if you look

625
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: back at some of these games last year, by the

626
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they would have been gassed. The game would

627
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: have been just out of control. Now, was that because

628
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett and the Broncos just couldn't get things together.

629
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. But they still have Russell Wilson and

630
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: those two backs. Those guys are those two bad acts.

631
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: And they still had Courtland Sutton. We talk about Pierce.

632
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: Those two guys can get used. You didn't get used

633
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: as nearly as much as they should have, but the

634
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: defense was also doing its jobs. So the Texans defense

635
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: held Denver without a touchdown on two red zone trips.

636
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: It was the first perfect red zone percentage posted by

637
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: Houston's defense since the twenty eighteen season. So three to

638
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: twelve on first, the TV was out of the red zone. Yeah, yeah,

639
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: so they were at the Houston two. Houston six had

640
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: to settle four field goals both those times, would you

641
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: say since twenty eight twenty eighteen? Yeah, they were pretty

642
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: good on defense in twenty eighteen. That was the nine

643
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: game winning streak. Gear Clowney what what was an All Pro? Yeah?

644
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: DJ Reader was in there that that was a fun season,

645
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew. Now, so the fact that the defense is

646
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: able to do that and you're if your offense can

647
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: just get into the end zone, like you're saying, iron

648
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: things out with Pep and Davis and get them get

649
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: the receivers. On the same page, I worry a little

650
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: bit about rev and Jordan because it seems like he

651
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: might not be limped off the field Sunday. He's dealing

652
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: with some injury. We will not know what it is

653
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: until the injury report comes out this week, so I

654
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe we will see more wide receivers. Tight

655
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: End has been a thin spot for them from the

656
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: get go when Clara went out of training camp, but

657
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: it just seemed and they weren't able to execute that

658
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: trade with the Dolphins for Shaheen. They just haven't been

659
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: able to catch up in the tight end department. And

660
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 1: I know Oj Howard joined the team and caught two

661
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the opener. That was good at a catch

662
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: last week, but it's you know, again, you're playing catch

663
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: up here because he comes in late in the game.

664
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: So let's just see if they can put something together.

665
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, i'd love to see more out of Brevin Jordan.

666
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: It's too bad you saw him nicked up. Whatever the

667
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: case may be, So keep it going, get better, improve.

668
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: I like what you said about the defense, DP. I

669
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: think that is a real great reason to be optimistic

670
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: about this team. It's year two in the Lovey system.

671
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah he's a head coach now, but he's a coordinator

672
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: last year. So this is year two in the Lovey defense.

673
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: For the veterans who are here and the young talent,

674
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: they're making place highish play last week and you see

675
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: what Petree and Stingley can do. And I know people

676
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: are really focusing on Courtland Sutton against Derek Stingley. Yeah,

677
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: I see Sutton's numbers. I got it. Show me the scoreboard.

678
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: Sixteen points allowed is a win for the defense. I

679
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: know they didn't win the game, I got it. But

680
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: sixteen points going into Denver. If you you know we

681
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: do this show every week, if you had told me

682
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: last week sixteen points, I'd say, I will take it

683
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: right now, Wayne Brady, Monty Hall, I will take it

684
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: and move on and take my chances. Yeah. And to

685
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: add on to that, think about what Stingley did in

686
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: the red zone. Okay, he defended Sutton pretty well to

687
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: the point where the touchdown that was called got called

688
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: off because suttone in bounced. The next play, they go

689
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: right back to him. They're like, we'll get this rookie

690
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: on this one, slaps it away. That was really really

691
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: good play. That was because the exact same formation that

692
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh here it comes again, they're going to

693
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: do it again, and he was ready for it. Yeah,

694
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: at least and you know that he's got the attributes

695
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: and the ability to go one on one with these receivers.

696
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean week one knocking the touchdown out of the

697
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: hands of light years in the end zone. Like I

698
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: feel like he you know, for a rookie. Yeah, he

699
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: gets flagged, but he's making some plays, made some mistakes,

700
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But he absolutely made plays

701
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: because we've we've often seen around here over the last decade,

702
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: we often see guys get plays made on them, but

703
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: not not come back and make big plays to answer.

704
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: And he's come back and done that. I mean the

705
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: play or where he just totally upended Sutton on that

706
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: and knocked the ball lose. That was a big point.

707
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of grass in front of

708
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: Sutland Sutton if he catches that and gets going. So yeah,

709
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you guys, okay an underrated storyline

710
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: heading into week three, we were we're discussing this. Maybe

711
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: maybe was I discussing with you, Drew, I don't know.

712
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: I was discussing with somebody Jeff Driskell and Chris Conley.

713
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: They've been elevated twice. Yeah, so you can only be

714
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: elevated three times, oh during games? So what happens after

715
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: this week? Driff drisk will be elevated once again. The

716
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: Driscoll cat often. I think he would probably get added

717
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: to the rule. Then you have to add it. But

718
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: then what happens to Kyle Allen? I think he stays.

719
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: I think Alan, I think three quarter. Maybe put Alan

720
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: on the practice squad and do the opposite. I don't know,

721
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: but they like that Driscoll cat. Yeah. Is it the

722
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: wild Jeff or the Driscoll cat i Omarmazoub had of

723
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: Texans METI relations. You know, he called it the Driscoll

724
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: cat in the press box the Sunday and so I

725
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: kind of like I like Driscoll cat. I called it

726
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: the Wild Jeff on the air. Just didn't feel much

727
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: like the wild Driscle too. Wild Driscll cat sounds good though,

728
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: Driscoll cat. It sounds like Mustang cat, which is a

729
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: Texans partner, right, and Driscll could have his own franchise.

730
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: Good Mustang cat that powers Drews doesn't every week. So

731
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: we like it. There we go. I do like the

732
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: Driscoll cat. That's a good question, deepe Elevations. What are

733
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: you gonna do with the Driscoll cat? Which is effective?

734
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it on third down because

735
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: I just feel like he is really athletic, and he's

736
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: perfect for those kind of plays. It's it's kind of

737
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: exciting when you see Driskell. It's sneaky to you because

738
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: it happens he's running. I was like, gosh, I forgot.

739
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: I didn't know Davis Mills was that's like, oh that's

740
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: not well. When he ran that fake, Andre and I

741
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: both bought it. We both bought the fake. We thought

742
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: Pierce had the ball. He sold it to and you know,

743
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: just for a split second, I'm like, oh, drift goals. God. Yeah,

744
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: and he runs around the edge for first one day

745
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna stop, set up and throw down field. Well,

746
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: that's the thing. That's why you want to see it

747
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: every week. And and I don't know if you put

748
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: him on the active roster for that risk losing Alan

749
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: and putting him on the practice squad. I don't know.

750
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I would think it's just you

751
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: put all three on and he makes some guy inactive

752
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: here and there. That's what you're using a spot. Although

753
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: last year he used a spot the entire season for

754
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I never saw the fields have done that

755
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: before and done just fun. Now you actually have yeah,

756
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: actually add a third quarter. I mean it is he

757
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: does change. It changes the game plan for the opposing team.

758
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want to didn't they put him in a

759
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: third and third and long? Yeah there were no, But

760
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean then I'll call the time out. Correct. No,

761
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: Denver yet, I mean, I'm sorry, Denver. I'm I kept

762
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: on wanting to call them Seattle too, because they just

763
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: played Seattle, as Russell Willy team Russell Wilson plays for

764
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: is Seattle. Even so maybe that was that is a

765
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: good point. But that's a good Texans play with a

766
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: fifty two man roster last year. This is yeah, this

767
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: is this is not a big yeah. That's why people

768
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: who said, well, there was already a suspension served last year,

769
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, there wasn't because he was on an

770
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: active roster and we used a spot, thank you very much.

771
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 1: She was actually going to contribute on third down. So yes,

772
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's do it, all right, let's take

773
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: a break. We come back. One final segment, some former Texans,

774
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: a former Texans signs elsewhere, and current Texan getting a

775
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: lot of love on Twitter. It's all coming up. When

776
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: we go around the NFL one final segment of Texans

777
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: All Access coming your way, Texans All Access one final segment.

778
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: We're going around the NFL. I was on Twitter earlier

779
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: today and I saw Tyler Johnson trending. Can you all

780
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: imagine why he might be trending Tyler Johnson trending? Tell me,

781
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Because Tampa Bay signed a wide receiver,

782
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley to the practice squad. They are in dire

783
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: needs of wide receivers because Mike Evans is serving a

784
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: one game suspension, Julio Jones is recovering from knee injury,

785
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: and Bucks fans were apoplectic that they let Tyler Johnson walk.

786
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: They like him, They really like Tyler Johnson. Yeah, which

787
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: that gives me reasons proptimism. When he is ready to play,

788
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: he might be able to do. I hope it's this week.

789
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: I hope he's ready to go and ready to rock

790
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: because you've seen what he I mean looking at his

791
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: highlights with the Bucks. Guy can play. I mean I

792
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: can add something. Nick, get a three for Tyler Johnson

793
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: back to the Bucks. Just kidding, Tyler, we watch you here.

794
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: Make it a one. Yeah, make it a one first

795
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: round draft choice for the Bucks. I can't wait to

796
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: see what he does. I'm I'm fascinated. But because we

797
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: saw Oj Howard do what he did in week one,

798
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: little quiet week two obviously, but what's what's the real

799
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: Oj Howard? How much is he really gonna And then

800
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: you factor in what Tyler Johnson might do. Thinks could

801
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: be a little spicier on offense if that gets going right, Yeah, spicy.

802
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: I wonder if how much of it is just him

803
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: just getting acclimated with the working on his chemistry, and

804
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean maybe this is the week for him. During

805
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: the Players Show, Nico Collins said that they play spicy,

806
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: you know in the wide receiver room the card game Uno.

807
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: But it's spicy Uno. What money on it? Does? I

808
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: mean there's money on? He didn't get him elaborate. We

809
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: asked him. He's like, I don't know, I don't understand

810
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: it that well. So maybe maybe there's some like trinkets

811
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: at stake here. Trinkts is a good word, Drew. Do

812
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: you ask him about trinkets while he no, I did not.

813
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: I just thought of that right now. See un I'm intrigued.

814
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: Yeah it sounds good, Yeah, sounds delicious. I think it's

815
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: a wide receiver thing. Yea wide receiver. I know you're intrigued.

816
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: Now you're like, I'm taking find out these are my notes,

817
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: my notes from the week or not from like what

818
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: needs to get better. It's like, ask about Spicy. You know,

819
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: they're probably people out there that play Spicy, you know

820
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: right now that are just screaming you idiots don't know

821
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: what you're talking. You don't know. They're they understand because

822
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: they could mention it to a lot of people who

823
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't know, so they're okay, I feel like we would

824
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: have maybe heard about Spicy, you know by now. All right.

825
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: Another former Texan has signed elsewhere. Nick Martin has signed

826
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: with the Washington Commanders because they need another center, their

827
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: center Chase really really a real sounds good to me,

828
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: really A he's head an injury reserve after suffering a

829
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Lions. So, um,

830
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: I was looking at Nick Martin's numbers. He spent last

831
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: season with the Raiders. He appeared in all seventeen games,

832
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: but mostly played special teams. Yeah, so he's playing the

833
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: field goal team or whatever snaps that's it. Yeah. And

834
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: then he was with the Saints and training camp was

835
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: a released from Yeah, we saw him here in the

836
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: preseason September ten. Oh, yeah, you're right. I feel like

837
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: he's kind of bounced around and yeah, but because for him,

838
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: he still in the league, is getting a job with Washington.

839
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, last night I'm watching Ben Jones for the Titans.

840
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: They took him out of the game too, they did,

841
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: but I think that was because let's let's get him

842
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: out of them. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, the

843
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: fact that he was here as a rookie and now

844
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: he's a starter that you take out of the game

845
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: when the game's out of hand, like you don't want

846
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: him to get hurt. He started as a really, I

847
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: mean he started a dozen games guard right while Myers

848
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: was still here. Yeah. Look, he's a good player. You

849
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: can't pay everybody, you know, if you had kept him

850
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,479
Speaker 1: in Brandon Brooks and eventually, you know, your salary cap

851
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: just explodes, right because those guys got nice deals. So

852
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: they were nice acquisitions for this team. But then you

853
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: had Derek Newton, who you did keep, and then he

854
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: suffered that awful bad luck, bad horror. There's a reason

855
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: why things you know didn't go well in twenty twenty

856
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,479
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one. You hope they're better now because

857
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: like Denver, yeah, I think it was sixteen. Yeah, that's

858
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: the rumball game. Yeah, but look, those guys are hard

859
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: to replace. You know, you can take years sometimes to

860
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: replace players like that. And look at the issues at

861
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: center right now. And that's why when they find you know,

862
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: this is why coaches and GM's on draft day when

863
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: they draft a certain old lineman he's a ten year starter,

864
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: Well that's what they really want, because ouch, it's hard

865
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: to find replacements for these guys. But you know, now

866
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: with a four year window for most draft choices out

867
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: of the first round, you're looking at all right now,

868
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: you gotta pay a guy, and sometimes it's a lot

869
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: of money that you're just not really comfortable doing because

870
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: you have other guys you got to take care of.

871
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to jinx it, but I

872
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: feel like the interior of the Texans line depth wise

873
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: is okay right now. I mean, you lose Justin britt

874
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: for who knows how long, and Scott quest Mary steps

875
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: in and he did it pretty He did a pretty

876
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: good job stepping in considering you know, it was just

877
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: sort of something that we found out last week that

878
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: Britt wasn't going to play, and A J. Cann talked

879
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: about it. Today you got aj Cant right guard, and

880
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: then Kenyon Green finally making his first start. Well that's

881
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: the big thing. I think Green as a first round

882
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: draft choice, playing the whole game, keep going to see

883
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: how he can improve. You know, you all remember us

884
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: talking to Dwayne Brown every week about these things and

885
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: how many years it's sometimes said three didn't he Yeah,

886
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman to really hit it big and

887
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, improve and really feel comfortable out there, totally comfortable,

888
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: not that it can't contribute as a rookie, but it

889
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: takes a while. I just feel like with these offensive

890
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: linemen when they have them start at one position and

891
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: move over, I just feel like that just makes the

892
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: learning curve so much harder. Like I kind of like

893
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: with Kenyan Green, it's like left guard, play guard, play guard,

894
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: just play guard, get good at playing guard. So and

895
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: then Justin McCray, obviously you have him as backup for

896
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: interior should anything happen. So I don't know, I feel

897
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: like it's a pretty good spot. I don't know if

898
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm jinxing it, but well, she'll see how they hold

899
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: up against Chicago's defense exactly. Let's see how they do

900
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: on Soldier feel that reasons for optimism, guys, Yes, I'm

901
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: always optimistic. Let's go. March's about to go play some

902
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: spicy monopoly now, all right, coming up, we've got Texans

903
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: matchup John Harris. He also looks ahead to the Chicago

904
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: game and reflects on Denver Broncos in week two. That's

905
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: all coming up. That's gonna do for Texans All Access.

906
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening, and as always, go

907
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: Texans
