1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, everybody, and welcome into another edition of Texans

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: All Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, Football Analost and Salad the Reporter,

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: and so excited about another Texans opportunity. Sunday Afternoon. Look,

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: I love Sunday night games. Don't get me wrong, I

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: love Sunday night games. I was pretty stressful last weekend. Man,

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: I gotta admit. I gotta admit I like the Sunday

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: afternoon games. I don't know. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: at heart, but I like the Sunday afternoon games. Monday

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: night games are cool. Thursday night games I still haven't

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: gotten used to. Still haven't gotten used to. Sunday are okay,

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: but man are they're stressful Monday night games. For some reason,

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. Sunday afternoon that's when NFL teams

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: are supposed to play. I'm old school, you know that

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: two degree I like. Don't get me wrong. I like

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: the the other night when they went lights not lights off,

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: but lights down, and then that the pyrotechnics is the

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: guy who was a coming out. I was pretty cool.

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: I gotta admit that was pretty cool. Now they'll do that,

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: I think during the day. But obviously you can't go

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: lights down in the afternoon. I don't think. Maybe you could.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: Maybe you could find a way, but obviously light seeps

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: through from all the various corners because of the windows

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: up in the far corners of the place, so you

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: definitely couldn't do that. But Sunday was cool. Sunday night

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: was very cool. I like the afternoon games. And I

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: will tell you this, I love battle Red Day. I think,

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: just me speaking, I think the red should be our

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: dominant home uniform. I like the blue, like the red.

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: I can't say this too much. The all white, I

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: don't know. It just doesn't do it for me, but

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: I like I like the blue pants and the white,

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: which we wear on the road a lot. Like the

34
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: white pants and the blue. I like that. I like

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: the red. You can wear red with white or blue pants.

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: That don't matter. I love battle Red Day, and it

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: will be battle Red on Sunday, So where you're red,

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: obviously the bills will be I would imagine the bills

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: will be in all white. They might have blue pants,

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: but they'll wear the white tops. And I'm just looking

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: for a team that we don't. We're all blue against

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: every team we faced has been blue. Patriots blue. Like

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: you look across the field and you see a guy

44
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: in a jacket and you're like, hey, is that guy

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: one of our guys or one of their guys? Think

46
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: about a Patriots, they've got kind of a deep steel blue.

47
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Then you've got the Titans and their secondary color is

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: like a steel blue, so a lot of their stuff

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell. And then of course we saw guys

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: that we were used to seeing in our colors now

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: and their colors and they're kind of the same now.

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: The Giants is a little lighter blue, okay, that's one thing.

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: The Colts again, another little lighter blue, but still blue.

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: And then the Cowboys there a lot of their stuff

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: was a similar blue tars not the blue they wear

56
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: in their jerseys. That's a lighter royal blue. Either way,

57
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: more blue this weekend with the Buffalo Bills. But where

58
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: you're red, definitely where you're red. All right, we got

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: plenty to do on the show tonight. We're gonna have

60
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: our deep sunt interview of the week this week it

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: is with safety Kareem Jackson. Yes he'll play everywhere in

62
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: the defense one asked. But he has been a thorn

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: in the side of teams in particular to the the last

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: couple of games, but I should say not last two.

65
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: All year, Kjack has been fantastic. We'll have my first

66
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: compree of Credit Union. First, Glance Key's the game offense, defense,

67
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: and gotta can't forget about special teams. Got one with

68
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: special teams as well. Then I will give you my

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: picks to all of the games, straight up and against

70
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: the spread. It's just my way of going around the

71
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: NFL and giving you the stories and things that are

72
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: happening in the NFL. Then we have a visit from

73
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: one of my good buddies, Eric son an Asensio. He

74
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: is the senior director of Digital Media and Strategy for

75
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: US for the Texans. He used to work with the

76
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: SEC Southeastern Conference, not the SEC, the Securities Exchange Commission,

77
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: which I had to do with many many years ago.

78
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: But he handles everything that we do from a social

79
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: media perspective. When I started here, we just had Eric.

80
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Now Eric has got He's got people underneath him in

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Jesse and a. Now they work they work closely with him.

82
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: But he is watching everything that goes on with technology

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: and it's a fascinated conversation with Mark Vanni. Mers will

84
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: have that, and then we have our players segment. We

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: will get to know kind of Fairbaird. We will have

86
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Player Reporter aka Kjack TV sponsored by Arctic, and then

87
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: we have the final Word with Drew Doherty this week.

88
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: It's a guy that I think has played extremely well

89
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Extremely well. I said at

90
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: the beginning year the Zact Cuttingham was gonna be one

91
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: of the top five players on the team when this

92
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: season was over, or there was a chance. I mean

93
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: I was being hyperbolic in some sense. But Zach Cuttingham

94
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: has played extremely well and hopefully he will continue that

95
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: going forward. It's a big one, a big one against

96
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, Josh Allen. It's a big one for Zac

97
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Cuttingham and Bronji McKinney, there's no question about that. Now.

98
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: We start the show as we always do. Whether it's Wednesday, Friday, Monday,

99
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We always start with our Hot Reads.

100
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Hot Reads presented to you by Geico. Fifteen minutes we

101
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: can say you fifteen percent or more on car insurance

102
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: and our first Hot Read every single Friday, there's a

103
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: conversation with the head coach or Houston Texans, Bill O'Brien.

104
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Obi sat down with Marf Vandermer earlier to coach the

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: Bill's defense. This is a really tough bunch. What makes

106
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: them so good up front? You know, I just think

107
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: that even from my time in New England, Kyle Williams,

108
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, thirteen year veteran, great motor, knows how to

109
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: play the game. And then Jerry Hughes seems like he's

110
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: been playing for them forever, really good off the edge,

111
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: having a Pro Bowl year linebackers, really good athletic, downhill guys,

112
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: tough guys Lorenzo Alexander and Edmonds and the Milano. It's

113
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: a it's a very challenging front to run the ball against,

114
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: no doubt about. And they seem good at forcing fumbles

115
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: as well as they're they're winning games because of that.

116
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you look at the Minnesota and the

117
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, you know they were able to force turnovers

118
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: and uh give their give the ball to their offense

119
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: on a short field, which as you know is big

120
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: and uh and and they've done that in two of

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: their wins. So you're gonna get continuity on the offensive

122
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: line back to back weeks here, So what's it gonna

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: take to run the football a little bit better? I

124
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: know you want to do that. Yeah, you know, we

125
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: just you know, I think I've got to call a

126
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: good game and we've got to get these guys in

127
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: position to to block what they're seeing. And we've got

128
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: to do a good job of knowing how Buffalo is

129
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: playing us um, you know, earlier in the game, be

130
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: able to adjust to it, and we've got to try

131
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: to establish a running game. Now, what about their offense,

132
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen you talked about him in your Friday press

133
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: conference a little bit, but there's sort of that unpredictability

134
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: factor as a rookie, right, Yeah, I mean he's um,

135
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: he's a big, strong guy that can make all the throws.

136
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: He's got a really good arm, but he but he's

137
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: people underestimate I think his ability to escape. You know,

138
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: he can run, makes plays on the run. He's made

139
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: a lot of plays for them bootlegs, but even scramble

140
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: type plays where he's throwing the ball down the field

141
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: and made big plays. And that's how these guys play

142
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: Now in college you know, so that's really carrying over

143
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: to pro football. A lot of plays are being made

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: outside the pocket by these by these quarterbacks, and he's

145
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: one of them. Why is your defense started to play

146
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: better now? You know, I think, you know, I think

147
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: that they're playing together more in practice, you know, knock

148
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: on wood. Hasn't been as many injuries on that side

149
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: of the ball as there has been on offense. And um,

150
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: you know, guys, I mean, there's been some corner injuries,

151
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: you know, but for the most part, the front, those

152
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: guys have been playing together. Dylan Cole is out, but

153
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: most of the guys been playing together. And even in

154
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: the even in the back end, the safety position has

155
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: been playing together. Ja Joe's been out there, and so

156
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: we have had some injuries, like I said, but you know,

157
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: I think the more and more they communicate together, play together,

158
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: practice together, meet together. I think that's uh, that's a

159
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: big deal. What about the kicking game in this one

160
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: field position, it's big, it's big. They have some really

161
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: good uh core uh you know, core special teams players,

162
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: and we've got to do a good job. They've got

163
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: guys that can really cover kicks. They've got guys that

164
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: can return kicks. Uh, you know, it's a big It's

165
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a big challenge for us. Final factors and

166
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: pulling out the devil. I think it's taking care of

167
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: the ball Vandy on offense. If we come out of

168
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: the game with no turnovers, you know we'll be in

169
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: good shape. I think the turnover takeaway battle is gonna

170
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: be huge in this game. And then I think at

171
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's who who wins the

172
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: who wins the line of scrimmage. I think it's gonna

173
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: come down to, you know, which, which line of defensive line,

174
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: offensive line? You know, really outplaying the other side of

175
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: the ball. It's gonna be a big part of the game.

176
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Good luck, coach, Thanks Fanny. All right, let's move on

177
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: to the all important injury report with our next hot read.

178
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: Here we go. What do we know about this one?

179
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: Not much really. I mean we know a lot the

180
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: injury report is out, but there isn't a whole lot

181
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: I think to glean off of the injury report. First

182
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: of all, let's start with the Bills. Who is out

183
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: for the Bills? And there you go, Nobody is out

184
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: for the Bills at the injury report. Everybody was back

185
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: at practice today, ready to go. The Bills, I suppose,

186
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: are as healthy as any team could possibly be at

187
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,359
Speaker 1: this particular moment, So the Bills will be firing on

188
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: full bore, ready to go now. I give you that news.

189
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: To give you this news, Deshaw Watson is listed as questionable.

190
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: He was a limited participant in practice today. But listen,

191
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: what questionable means. We've seen KIKIQTV questionable in play. We've

192
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: seen Lamar Miller be questionable suit up, not play. We

193
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: have seen Will Fuller be questionable in play. We've seen

194
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: Will Fuller be questionable and play and play only a half.

195
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Then he was full goal last week and played the

196
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: entire game. So what questionable means? Who really knows now?

197
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: I told Mark earlier this week, I thought that he

198
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: was not gonna play. Just my gut feeling and I

199
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: said that. And normally I'm fairly positive about things. I

200
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: don't fall into the negative side. And I don't even

201
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: know if that's being negative, But just seeing the hits

202
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: that he took, I knew he had to be pretty sore,

203
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: and I would imagine he didn't do a lot in practice,

204
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: especially as a limited participant. I don't know how much

205
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: he got done. I don't know how much and at

206
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 1: what level of coaches in the medical staff needed to

207
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: see him this week in practice saw him on Friday.

208
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: He looked like he was in great spirits. He was

209
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: running round. But you just never know. You have no idea,

210
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: especially with the injuries that we're talking about with him

211
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: with a chest and who knows in the chest is

212
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: it ribs, is a chest, is it lunch? I mean,

213
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: nobody knows, and it's probably meant to be that way.

214
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: So Deshaw Watson will be questionable. I hope we see him.

215
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: I want to see him. But if we gotta roll

216
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: with Brandon Whedon, we gotta roll with Brandon Reaton. That's

217
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: just the waycos. But at least, no matter what we're

218
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: looking at with de Sean, we're not looking at a

219
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: full year's time or even a half year's time as

220
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: we were last year, because when that news came down

221
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: last year, it was a gut punch of enormous proportions.

222
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, Okay, no matter what happens on Sunday,

223
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: whether he plays or doesn't, we know that he will

224
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: be back again the following week. Which would be Jacksonville

225
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: in a game that is hugely important, hugely important. But

226
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: because the OWE three start, there's no margin for air.

227
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: So every game from this point forward ends up being

228
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: I don't say must win, but games that you are

229
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: favored to win, you better win, and especially your home games.

230
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: So the crux the injury report is the Bills have

231
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: no one out. The Texans have two out, Aaron Colvin

232
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: and Brian Peters. I think we anticipated that we won't

233
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: see them, I think for a few weeks. But Deshaw

234
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Watson is questionable. I think it actually ends up being

235
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: pretty much fifty fifty if he wakes up on Sunday

236
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: and feels like, man, it's just I can't generate the

237
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: power of my throws. And then I think they'll go

238
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: with Brandon Wheaton. I don't know what will be the deciding,

239
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: the determining factor. I've said this about the Sean. I

240
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: think he's the toughest dude you're gonna find anywhere. He

241
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: is ultra tough. But you also got to be smart

242
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: about it too, So we'll see what happens. But Shaw

243
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: Watson questionable. He's the only questionable player on the injury report.

244
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Everybody else is in and are ready to go. All

245
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: right when we get back, it set for our deep

246
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: sunt Interview the week. This week it is kjack Kareem

254
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: Texans All Access on its wonderful, wonderful Friday evening. It

255
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: has been beautiful for last couple of days, and trust me,

256
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: we have we've needed he Yes, it's in the eighties,

257
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: and I get that we'd like a cool front to

258
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: come in, like to be able to wear sweaters and

259
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: all that. We'll get there soon enough. But October is

260
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: one of my favorite months of the year. You're about

261
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: halfway through the football season, both high school, college and pro.

262
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: You've got nice weather coming in, especially in Houston. You

263
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: got Halloween at the end where you get to eat

264
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: a lot of candy, etc. Etc. Etc. So I look

265
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: forward to this time of the year, especially when the

266
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: Texas are playing well, and after two straight wins, hopefully

267
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: they'll play well on Sunday afternoon against the Buffalo Bills.

268
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: Difficult though it may be. Now let's get into our

269
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: deep slant interview of the week. This is always one

270
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: of my favorites, and this one in particular is a

271
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: favorite because you know, I love these interviews at DBCTER.

272
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: I think she does a great job and whenever you

273
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: have a subject as open and outgoing as Kareem Jackson,

274
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: it can be all kinds of fun. Now we're gonna

275
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: hear Kjack TV later, but DP and Kareem actually discuss

276
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: being on Kjack TV AK Player Reporter sponsored by Arctic,

277
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: and you'll find out that's I mentioned Arctic because there's

278
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: a funny moment coming up here pretty soon in this interview.

279
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: But so much about Kareem Jackson this year from a

280
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: play on a field standpoint, it's been fantastic. He's been

281
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: I think the right move moving to say he has

282
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: been unbelievable. With Justin Rea, Tyron Matthew, I think the

283
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: safety group is as good as we've had in a

284
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: long long time. But then off the field, Kreim's got

285
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: a personality just smile, lights up a room. He is

286
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: great with the players. On Player Reporter, we'll have this

287
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: week's edition later in the show. He sat down for

288
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: the Deep Slant Interview of the Week with our own

289
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: DPC two Deep joining me today, starting Safety, starting Cornerback,

290
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: host of Kjack TV, Kareem Jackson. I gotta say my

291
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: ratings are going to go through the roof today having

292
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: on having you on. Okay, I want to get to

293
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: the Kjack TV in a bit. You're having so much fun,

294
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: ton of fun both on and off the field. So

295
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: let's start on the field. How much fun you're having.

296
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: You had the interception against Dallas. You now lead this

297
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: franchise with fifteen interceptions. What was your favorite interception? Probably

298
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: probably my first pick six, just you know, that's pretty

299
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: memorable for me, you know, my first time getting an

300
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: end zone in NFL, So that would probably been my

301
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: favorite game. Us out again. It was Tennessee. I actually

302
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: don't remember the year, but I remember the play though. Okay,

303
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: what was the play? Um? I remember the route they ran?

304
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: They ran double in and I remember what covers we

305
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: was in. It was in cover eight. This was when

306
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: uh Way Phillips was here. It was in cover eight,

307
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and I got a good jump on it and picked

308
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: it off and ran it back for a testdown. Did

309
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: you high step your way into the end zone that

310
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: scenes I did? What's inspired you to do that? Is it?

311
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: Dion Sam? Definitely? Okay, definitely growing up Umdon one of

312
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: my favorite players. You know, just seeing him high step,

313
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, every time he got interception, so you know,

314
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: it's almost you know, instincts and it just kind of

315
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: kick in and just instantly go to that. You had

316
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: the interception in the Dallas game, but you also had

317
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: nearly that walk off pick six. Yeah, walk us through

318
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: what your emotions were like after that. I think the

319
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: entire stadium just sighed because it was I mean, it

320
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: was a tough play to make regardless, but yeah, what

321
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: was your emotion? I think I definitely should have made it,

322
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: Um if you can, if you remember, I just laid

323
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: there for a little while and I was just like,

324
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just dropped that. But um, for

325
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: me making that play, you know, it's kind of getting

326
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: us out of that situation. Without you know, not having

327
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: to go in it until overtime, you know, definitely would

328
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: have been huge for us as a team. But um

329
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't make it. But you know, we finished the game

330
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: and overtime, you know, we was able to get a win.

331
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's the only thing that matters

332
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: right now, That's true. I saw stat in that game

333
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: that when Dash Prescott targeted you, his passer rating was

334
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: five point six and Pro Football Focus graded you fifth

335
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: in the league in your run defense grade. So nine

336
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: years in the league, Now, do you think this is

337
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: the best that you've ever played? Um? So far? I

338
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: think I think this probably, Yeah, so far. Still got

339
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: a long season to go, you know. Um. Um, for me,

340
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: I want to constantly you know, improve each and every day.

341
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: I still feel as though, you know, I got a

342
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: little bit more out there I can go get, you know,

343
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: And for me, I just want to be a big

344
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: part of the team, you know, an NBA piece of

345
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: the puzzles that you know, going out and being consistent

346
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: day in and day out, you know, and helping us

347
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: win games. How much was moving to safety part of

348
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: the fact that you've been playing so well, because first

349
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: people thought it was that they thought, oh, he's moved

350
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: to safety, looked so comfortable. But even when you switch

351
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: back to corner, there's no drop off in your level

352
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: of play. You just seem to be playing like your

353
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: hairs on fire. This year. Did you do something different

354
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: because offseason I actually didn't. I actually did the same stuff.

355
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, Physically, I feel a lot better than I felt,

356
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, in previous in previous years, you know, and um,

357
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: coach Luke, you know, and their training and their staff

358
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: coming in, you know, with the strength and condition, it's

359
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: been a big part of that, you know. But Um,

360
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: I actually did the same stuff I did in the

361
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: off season, you know. I mean, for me, I just

362
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: try to just I just want to improve every year.

363
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: You know. I go into every year and I approach

364
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: it differently, you know, from a mental aspect, you know,

365
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: but at the same time, I still want to get

366
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: it better in every aspect of my game. So, um,

367
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: there's been in some great positions this year, you know,

368
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: whether it's play calling or whether you know, just technique.

369
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: While I puts myself in you know, good position to

370
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: be able to make some plays, and I mean I've

371
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: just been able to, you know, make the plays. DJ

372
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: Reader called you a Swiss army knife. He said, You're

373
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: able to do everything. And I feel like every year

374
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: in OTAs we would see you line up at safety

375
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: at some point in the off season, but this was

376
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: the year that you officially made the switch, that the

377
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: team actually moved you to safety. How did that decision

378
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: go down? When did you find out that you were

379
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: making the move? Kind of ride out the OTAs and

380
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with my dB coach, coach Rat

381
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: and coach O'Brien, and it was basically, you know, what

382
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: was best for the team. You know Andrew Howe going

383
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: into his situation and you know him not being being

384
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: able to play, so um, that was you know, pretty

385
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: much the best move for the team. So you know,

386
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: they told me I was going to move me to safety,

387
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: and you know, for me, I just want to embrace

388
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: that that move and still be able to go out

389
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: and compete and play at a high level. I felt

390
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: I could do it just because, you know, from a

391
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: mental aspect, I pretty much knew every spot in the

392
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: secondary already because in previous years I play a little

393
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: bit here and there in certain games at safety, but

394
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: full time moving there, you know, I felt like it

395
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a problem. So, you know, I've been

396
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: able to go out and I learned the defense inside

397
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: and out, and I've been able to go out in

398
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, and been consistent in some of the things

399
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: that I've been doing. It's not even even just learning

400
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: the defense. I think what I hear about you the

401
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: most is your tackling ability, your ability to bring down guys.

402
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: Do you think that's your strength of your game? Yeah,

403
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: I probably myself phone being able to tackle. Definitely a

404
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: tough league. And you know, having being out there in

405
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: space with guys and being one on one playing the

406
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: safety spot, you got to be able to get them down.

407
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: So I definitely probably myself on my tackling. You had

408
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: j Joe at corner. Now you've got Tyron Matthew. What's

409
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: it like having him as your tag team at safety?

410
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: You got another SEC guy back there. Definitely definitely SEC guys. Man.

411
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: We even if we were not, we don't play together

412
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: right out the bat, and some some years down in

413
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: the line, we eventually get on the same team as always.

414
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: It's like we already brothers, though, but you're always enemies

415
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: in college and it seems like everybody comes here and

416
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: then everybody gets along as It's been great having a

417
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: tie here. You know, he's been He's a huge part

418
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: of our teams, a great leader in the locker room,

419
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, on the field as well. But the ton

420
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: of ball has a ton of experience, you know, Pro

421
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: Bowl or All Pro all that, you know, all the accolades.

422
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: But um, I guess that's the thing for me, you know,

423
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: that's most impressive a bottom is just the way he's

424
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: a pro pro to every day you know, it comes in,

425
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: he works, you know, just like he's a young guy

426
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: like he you know, he still has a ton to prove.

427
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: But um that that's probably what impressing me about the

428
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: most about him. But you know, like I said, it's

429
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: been great, you know, just a communication wise with him

430
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: in you know, just seeing them going out and playing

431
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: and and just having them here. Everything's been great. You

432
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: now have two girls you yes, I added to the

433
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: Jackson clan this offseason actually was a training camp or

434
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: right before training camp, right before training camp, right before

435
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: training what's it like having two little ones? Now? I

436
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: want to know what you're like as a dad. I

437
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: bet you're so much fun. I don't have any say

438
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: so at my house. Number it goes my two year

439
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: old daughter, which will be three on Sunday. It's my wife,

440
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: and then my three month old daughter. Yeah. She she

441
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: can't even put together words right now, and she still

442
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: has more say so than me. So it's I told

443
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: my wife, yeah, just yesterday that I was going to

444
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: move upstairs permanently. And if you guys need me, just

445
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: hollow yeah, because their hand for um, especially my oldest

446
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: daughter is just like she's about to turn fifteen and

447
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: she's only about to be three. Yeah, those the terrible

448
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: twos are one thing, but I think there's a terrible

449
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: two that goes all the way to their five because

450
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: terrible threes. And then I was listening to her last night.

451
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: In my head, I'm saying, how are you even saying

452
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: some of this stuff? You're not even supposed to know

453
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: any of this stuff, and it's just like it's just

454
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: like talking to another adult. And I can't believe it.

455
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: She's growing so fast when she's so smart, and and

456
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: it's scary because, like I said, I don't have any

457
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: say so. Okay, do you think you'll ever make it

458
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: the Jackson five? Um, I don't. Probably I'm probably asking

459
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: too soon, right, I should give it some time before

460
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: I ask you. Not five, possibly four, But we got

461
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: to get three first five meeting like three kids and

462
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: the two you and your wife. I thought you were saying, Jesus,

463
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: that's a lot of that's a lot of kids. Yeah,

464
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: eventually it will definitely be Yeah, it'll definitely be the

465
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: Jackson five eventually, you think. So, Yeah, that's good to hear.

466
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: Kjack TV. Everybody knows about it. Ratings are through the roof.

467
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: You've got sponsors, you've got guests, you've got players. Everybody

468
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: wants to be on your show. People really get to

469
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: see your personality and that I think. I'm very proud

470
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: of the fact that people get to see, like how

471
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: we see you right on the show. What do you

472
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: think you want people to get out of that? Just

473
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: pretty much just to see the guy's personality. For us,

474
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: it is, you know, when we're here, you know, it's

475
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: all about football. Everybody outside of outside of the locker

476
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: room only sees us and our help ments and you know,

477
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: and when we out there running around on the field

478
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: and stuff. I want everybody to see that, you know,

479
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: we have another side. You know, Um, you know, we

480
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: got some funny guys in there. We got guys that

481
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, don't talk much. We got guys that can't

482
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: shut up, you know. We got guys that I like

483
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: to sing like the dance. So you know, I just

484
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: want everybody to be able to see a different side

485
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: of us and definitely and enjoy it, you know. So

486
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean and for us, you know, we we we're

487
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: not just football players. We're husbands, we're dads, brothers and

488
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: all the other stuff. So I just want everybody to

489
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: be able to see, you know, more than the football side.

490
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: I wasn't here when you first got here in twenty

491
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: and ten. But has your personality always been like this

492
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: or has it come out more in the last few years.

493
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I've always been like this, but more so outside of

494
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: the building. But I think the more and more, you know,

495
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: I kind of, I say, became a veteran. You're the

496
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: most veteran guy in the locker room. Yeah I am. Yeah,

497
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: and John Weiks is the same year okay, So um,

498
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, the more the older kind

499
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: of guy, and you know, and Coach O'Brien allowed me

500
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, let my hair down a

501
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: little bit. Then I I just got to a point

502
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: where I guess I'm one of the guys that can't

503
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: shut up. But you're run just kind of just let

504
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: it out everywhere. You know. It's for me, it's all

505
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: about having fun. I don't look at coming coming here

506
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: every day as just a job. You know, I like

507
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: to come over here. I like to have fun with

508
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: the guys. You know, we we we you know, we laugh,

509
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: we joke. You know, we got to have fun because

510
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: the minute it gets to a point where we look

511
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: at it like it's just a job, then you know

512
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: we're not gonna enjoy it anymore. But um, for me,

513
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: it's just all about having fun. And you know, the

514
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: day I'll stop having fun, then it'll be a problem.

515
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: But so, like I said, I just I just love

516
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: to have fun even when I'm at home, and you know,

517
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: wherever I'm at, you know, I'm I like to be

518
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: the same person every day, So it's gonna be some

519
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: fun you know if I'm if I'm involved in it,

540
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: met Kareem, which I got in the building in twenty fourteen,

541
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: and that was really the first time I got a

542
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: chance of meeting men. Though I had covered the team.

543
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: Before that he was not married, you didn't have kids

544
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: that he's got wife, two girls, and God bless you, Kareem. Pops.

545

Speaker 1: in your house and it's like, how did that happen?

552
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,199

553
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: which is absolutely fantastic. Coming up next the Keys to

554
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: the Game. How will the Texans win this football game

555
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Stick around and find

556
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: out right here in Texans All Access. Welcome back to

557
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: a Friday at show of Texans All Access from the

558
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: Hynday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris,

559
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: football analyst and silent reporter, and it's time for this

560
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 1: week's first Community Credit Union First glance. Keys to the

561
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: Game has brought to you by FCCU for Community Credit Union,

562
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: the official credit union of the Houston Texans. All right, offense, defense,

563
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: special teams to get it w against Buffalo. We're gonna

564
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: talk about this a little bit later in the show,

565
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: but the Texans are ten point favorite, and you'd think,

566
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, ten point favorite, got a feel pretty good

567
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: about this. I think that's lulling fans into a false

568
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: sense of security, if that makes sense. It's gonna be

569
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: a tough, tough football game against a very physical team.

570
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has this team playing in his mold. He's

571
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: a former defensive coordinator. They play very close to the vest.

572
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: They try not to turn a ball over. They let

573
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the defense do their work. They play complimentary football. They

574
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: very much so compliment each other other than an offense

575
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't score a ton of points, but they do

576
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: score when they're given the opportunity from their defense. With

577
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers, they're plus one I believe in

578
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: turnover margin. Nine turnovers they've created, they've given away eight.

579
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: It's time for that to obviously take hold for the Texans.

580
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: So let's get into this one and let's talk about

581
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: the Texans offense now. Number one key Bill O'Brien talked

582
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: about this on Friday in his press conference. I thought

583
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: it was pretty interesting. He talked about Kyle Williams. That

584
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: guy's been around forever, forever. He was a defensive tackle

585
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: for Nick Saban at LSU under two thousand and three

586
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: National championship team. This guy has been playing the game

587
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: for a long time and there's a reason for that.

588
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: A takes hare of himself, but b he's one heck

589
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: of a football player. Now. I bring him up because

590
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: my number one key if you think back to I

591
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: don't want to say the worst offensive outing, but the

592
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: worst that the run game performed this year was against

593
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: the Giants, and the Giants had two guys inside and

594
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: Damon Harrison and Dalvin Tomlinson that just ate us alive.

595
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: No matter who's blocking on those guys ate us alive. Now,

596
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: in that game, Snail Kellamente did not play. That was

597
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: a big factor as well. But in this one you

598
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: got Kyle Williams and you also have Star Latulala, who

599
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: is a beast. To move those two guys off the

600
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage to allow for your run game, to me,

601
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: has got to be it's gotta It's something that has

602
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: to be done. And I don't know how you do it.

603
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how you consistently move those guys off

604
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: the ball, but you're gonna have to find a way.

605
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: So controlling ninety five, even after all these years, is

606
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: something they definitely have to do. And then Starlo two

607
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: lay on the inside as well. He is a massive factor.

608
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: So they've got to move both those guys off the

609
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: football to have any shot at winning this football game.

610
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: And that is keyed number one, because you got to

611
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: run the football. You've got to be able to run

612
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: the football because you want to take some of the

613
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: heat off the Shawn Watson and I think the only

614
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: way that you're going to be able to do that

615
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: is by moving guys in the middle and getting some

616
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: movement and allowing your running backs Lamar Miller and Alfred

617
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: Blue to make some hay up inside. All Right, it's

618
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: get the key number two, and that is going to

619
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: be to never throw late in the middle of the field.

620
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: Now you've heard people say that before. You never throw

621
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: late in the middle of the field. Never throw late

622
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. That's an axiom that

623
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: coaches players they preach all the time. It becomes even

624
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: more important because a Deshaun Watson does buy himself time

625
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: getting out of the pocket, and whether it's Brandon Weed

626
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson, they both will buy themselves some time.

627
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: And throwing over the middle is not as difficult as

628
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: it used to be, but this week it becomes problematic.

629
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Why Jordan Poyer Micah Hyde one of the best safety

630
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: duos you're gonna find in the entire NFL. Are those

631
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: two guys and they will turn teams over. They are excellent,

632
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: excellent Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde make things really difficult

633
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: on opposing offenses, especially in the middle of the field.

634
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: Now they will float playing in the line of scrimmage

635
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: to play the run a little bit, but those two

636
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: are ballhawks in the middle. You are late with the

637
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: football throwing it over the middle, that is going to

638
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: be very problematic. They've given up two passing touchdowns in

639
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Two passing touchdowns in the last

640
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: three weeks. They face the Titans, the Vikings, the Packers.

641
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: None of those went to a wide receiver. Both went

642
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: to tight ends. So throwing the ball later over the mid,

643
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: Poyer and Hoyd are going to really make you pay,

644
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: which leads me to number three. You've got to use

645
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: all fifty three yards of the width of the field.

646
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: Stretch those safeties a little bit, make them run sideline

647
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: to sideline, and as they get tired, run sideline the sideline,

648
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: maybe boom, Maybe you hit one down the seam to

649
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: one of the tight ends, or you find keiky qt

650
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: down the middle of the field, or you can hit

651
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: hopkins or full or deep behind those two safeties. But

652
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 1: if you keep using the fifty three yards of the

653
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: width of the field, then you really have got a

654
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: good opportunity to make some hay offensively to stretch the bills.

655
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: If you take this into the phone booth and they

656
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: really got you where you want it, spread them out formations.

657
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: I know coach and Brian loves to do that. Continue

658
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: He'll continue to do that, and I think that's really

659
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: gonna work. But working the outside the numbers areas, making

660
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: those safeties split and have to go different places, that

661
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: is really gonna help. So keep using all fifty three

662
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: yards of the width of the field. Number four key

663
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: winning one on one matchups. In particular upfront, I did

664
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: a tell straighter for KPRC and you can see that

665
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: on game day, and it has to do with the

666
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: Bills defense, because facing the Bills defense, the one thing

667
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: that really stands out is how discipline that group is,

668
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: especially in the front seven. And on that play, the

669
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: Titans ran to split zone and so basically blocking zone,

670
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: blocking play the zone, running play to the left, and

671
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: then they take a tight end and then they go

672
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: kick out the defensive end that might be crashing down

673
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: hard when he's not blocked, and so they split the

674
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: zone and so the running back has some ways to go.

675
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: The Bills were so discipline on that play, so discipline,

676
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: everybody just fit right into gaps and then they all

677
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: ran to the football. So that discipline sort of defense,

678
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: you know where they're gonna be. They're not. It's not

679
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna be like facing clowning or what we're from play

680
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: to play, you don't really know. You know these guys,

681
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: you know where they're gonna be. But that makes it

682
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: that much more important to win one on one matchups

683
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: up front. You won't move the ball if you don't

684
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: beat Kyle Williams. You won't move the ball if you

685
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: don't beat Starl Tula. You don't move the football if

686
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: you can't block one on one against Jerry Hughes or

687
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson or Trent Murphy. Those guys will eat you alive.

688
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: You've got to win one on one matchups. Now, obviously

689
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: there are some double teams built into some of the

690
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: run plays, and obviously into the past protection as well.

691
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: But if you don't win those battles, they're not gonna

692
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: give you things. They're very discipline up front, so they

693
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: won't jump out of a gap and give you something easy.

694
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna make you work for everything. So you've got

695
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: to win those one on one battles. Number five deals

696
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: of past protection. Build the well and what I mean

697
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: by the well, and Coach O'Brian talks about this a lot.

698
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: Build the well. Throw from the well. We want quarterbacks.

699
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: When we face quarterbacks, we want them to throw from

700
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: the well, especially guys that can move like Josh Allen.

701
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: You may hear me talk about this in just a

702
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: few minutes. But build the well around the quarterback. Build

703
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: that protective shield, that bowl, if you will, that arc,

704
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: Build it nice and neat, and give the quarterbacks time

705
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: to throw the football without trash at their feet. Run

706
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: those defensive ends upfield. If Murphy and Lawson and Jerry

707
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Hughes are gonna want to go up the field, run

708
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: them right on by that really well with the Marcus Lawrence,

709
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: but it might mean you have to use running backs

710
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: and tight ends to chip a little bit more, or

711
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: even double team to keep them out of there. And

712
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: they've done a good job with that. Jordan Thomas and

713
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin had to team up a number of times

714
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: the other night to block Shack Lawson, excuse me, to

715
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: block Tank Lawrence. They may have to do it for

716
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson this week. They may have to do it

717
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: for Jerry Hughes. Jerry can turn and burn the edge

718
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: if he wants to run high, take him on out

719
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: of there. Give that nice pocket to step up into

720
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: to make clean throws. The cleaner to throw, the better

721
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: opportunity you have to win. To get those cleaner throws,

722
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: You've got to build the well, build the well and

723
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: hold that wall strong. Last, it's certainly not least goal

724
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: to go now with gold goal situations, Here's the one

725
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: thing that I really, I really hope that we can avoid,

726
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: and that is we consistently talk about it. It now

727
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: has become an issue. And when something becomes an issue,

728
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: it becomes for everybody. Oh man, here we go an

729
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: hour on goal to go situations, How are we going

730
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: to screw this up? What are we going to do

731
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: this time? And that's not the attitude you want to have, obviously.

732
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: You want to go down in goal to go situation

733
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: and go, Okay, we're gonna put this one in the

734
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: very next play. And I know, I know Bill Bryant

735
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: thinks that way, and I know Deshaw Watson thinks that way.

736
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: But in the back of everybody's mind, it's like, oh man, okay,

737
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: this has been our bugaboo. Let's succeed here. Okay, what

738
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: do we have to do? And everybody gets extra cautious

739
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: and then everybody gets tight. You just gotta get down

740
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: on goal to go situations and run plays that fit

741
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: for what Buffalo wants to do down there. If they

742
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: want to run man, here, the plays that work if

743
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: they want to be in zone here, the plays that

744
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: work if they want to load the box here, the

745
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: plays that work if they want to spread out with

746
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: you here, the plays that work. Go to the plays

747
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: that work. Those will be ones. And the thing is,

748
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: there were plays the other night that we're there in

749
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: goal to go situations. It didn't get executed. I'm telling

750
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: you up front, I've seen the film. I've watched it

751
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: backwards and forward. There were plays there. Now it's time

752
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: to make those plays in Gold Togo situations. Why has

753
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: it become even more important this week? Because really, all

754
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: it's going to take is a couple of times in

755
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: Gold Togo situations where you turn you know, two drives

756
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: into fourteen points. I mean, fourteen might be all you need.

757
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: I'd obviously you like to see them get more. You

758
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: haven't scored less than what's seventeen all year, and you

759
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: have seventeen at Tennessee and really didn't play all that

760
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: well at Tennessee. So that's the kind of defense you're facing.

761
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: If you can get to seventeen, I think you can

762
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: win this game. I really do, especially once we get

763
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: to the defensive keys. So let's jump to those defensive keys.

764
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: Number one. It does not start with the quarterback. It

765
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: starts with Lashawan McCoy. Typically, I would tell you every

766
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: time we face a team quarterback, quarterback quarterback this week,

767
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to Josh Allen a little bit later.

768
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: But you're not facing Andrew Luck, You're not facing Tom Brady,

769
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: You're not even facing Eli Manning. You're facing a rookie

770
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen who has struggled, and they don't allow

771
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: him to throw the football that much. We'll get to

772
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: him in a little bit. The reason I bring him

773
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: up is because the offense isn't predicated on Leashan McCoy.

774
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: They will feed him the rock, even if they're gonna

775
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: trade him to Philadelphia who knows, but they're gonna feed

776
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: him the rock. And bottling up Lashawn McCoy becomes very difficult.

777
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: He's got the jump cut. He can make him miss.

778
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: He had a huge ball game against the Texas back

779
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. Now he got some help from Tarrod Taylor.

780
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: But they can run some of the zone reach stuff

781
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen they ran three years ago now, different

782
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, scheme, etc. But Lashawn McCoy can bounce, he

783
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: can strike and hit quick up the middle. He can

784
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: make you miss in space. He can make you miss

785
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: in a phone booth. Bottling up Lashawn McCoy is huge.

786
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: No seems same way you played Ezekielit. You got to

787
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Number two attack the high point

788
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: of Calvin Benjamin. I could see the Bills having some

789
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: struggles offensively, you're just saying, hey, look, let's just try

790
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: and get Benjamin free. Let's just try and throw one

791
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: up there. He's tired everybody in the field. He's six six,

792
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: he's a big dude. Go throw it up to him.

793
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to attack the high point because he's

794
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna go high point to football and you gotta attack it.

795
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: Just rake the arms down, grab at the risk, whatever

796
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: you gotta do, defensive backs, but attack the high point

797
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: of Kelvin Benjamin. Number three underneath defenders must must must

798
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: be aware of Lea Shaw McCoy and Charles Clay. Clay

799
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: doesn't get as many targets as he's got in the past,

800
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: but he is a problem if the underneath defenders start

801
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: taking things for granted, they're not disciplined. They were more

802
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: disciplined last week. Not all the way where they should be,

803
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: but they were more disciplined last week and I think

804
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: that really helped them. Underneath defenders must be aware of

805
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: the Seawan out in the passing game and Charles Clay.

806
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: Those are easy routes for Josh Allen to throw and

807
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: pick up some cheap yards. Don't give that to him.

808
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: Number four. If it's not la Sean McCoy, it's gonna

809
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: be Chris Ivory. The Jacksons have faced Ivory a few

810
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: times before, whether it's with the Jets when he led

811
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: the league in rushing or whether it was with the

812
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: Jags last couple of years. Your big boy hats are needed.

813
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: And this is where it becomes interesting, because Lashawn, you

814
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: gotta be hot on your feet. You gotta be quick.

815
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: You can't lunge, you can't go to knock him out.

816
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: He'll make him miss, and make him miss in a

817
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: quick minute. Chris Ivory then pops into game and you're thinking, Okay,

818
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: now I've kind of been light on my feet, and

819
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: all a sudden here comes thirty three and he's a

820
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: bowling ball. Butcher knives he's gonna run you flat over.

821
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: So when you see thirty three, get in the game,

822
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: get your big boy pads ready because he's gonna bring it.

823
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: And last, it's certainly not least no escape routes for Alan.

824
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: He must be forced to throw from the well. And

825
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: that goes back to my almost first point from the offense.

826
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: Build that well for the quarterbacks so they can throw

827
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: from it. With Alan, you need him to throw from it,

828
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: because when he gets out of the pocket he starts moving,

829
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: then everything goes awry. Everything he can scramble for a

830
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: first down, run for a few yards to pick up

831
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, turn third in nineteen and I'm sorry it

832
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: turned second to nineteen into third and five. But if

833
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: you keep him in the well, and you keep him

834
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: there and force him to throw from there, he is

835
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: incredibly inaccurate overall at this point in his career. Now

836
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: it's gotten better and it will get even better, but

837
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: it's not where an NFL quarterback should be. If you

838
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: leading Lamanny throw from the well, well, he's gonna go

839
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty nine like he did Andrew Luck

840
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: to throw from there, he's gonna go forty to sixty two.

841
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is not going forty to sixty two, and

842
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: he certainly well he could go. He's not going twenty

843
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: five to twenty nine. What he's gonna do if the

844
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: Bills want to win this game is to go fourteen

845
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: to twenty two for about one seventy a touchdown and

846
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: no picks. But if he's having to throw from the

847
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: well the entire time, then it becomes that much more difficult.

848
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: He can make any throw in the field, from from

849
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: the pocket, from out of the pocket, behind his back, whatever.

850
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: He can make those throws, but doing it consistently and

851
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: being accurate consistently is not something he can do. Make

852
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: him throw from the well, no escape routes for him.

853
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: Do not let him eke out of it, swallow him whole.

854
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: And that leads me to special teams building off the

855
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: defensive part. The defensive special teams got to work together.

856
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: And here's what I mean. If you forced Josh Allen

857
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: to have to start at the twenty five yard line

858
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: every time or less, depending on where you have the

859
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: ball and you're punting, you cannot allow them to steal

860
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: points by giving up a big return. They catch the

861
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: ball at the ten yard line or punt, you hold

862
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: them right there. They start to ten, they can't sneak

863
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: out it for twenty twenty five yards and get to

864
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: the thirty five. The Cowboys did that one time. The

865
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: other night, tabot Ansty got a return of about twenty

866
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: five yards. I believe got it backed about the forty five. Now,

867
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: the Texas defense stayed solid and came up with a

868
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: huge three out there. But that's a lot of stress

869
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of pressure if they've got to do

870
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: that repeatedly. But that's what the Bills need. The Bills

871
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: need help offensively to be able to put the ball

872
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: in the end zone. But if you don't give up

873
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: returns and you force Josh Allen have to go the

874
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: full field time after time after time after time, they're

875
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: knocking to do it, They're not gonna do it. They're

876
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: not going to be successful doing it. And Alan can't

877
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: do that repeatedly, maybe once in a game, maybe so

878
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: special teams. He's got a compliment. Defense. If you got

879
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: a punt it to them, hold them back inside the

880
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: ten fifteen yard line, make them go, make him start

881
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: to drive inside the twenty, make him go eighty plus.

882
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: Do that, you got an excellent chance to go win

883
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 1: the football game. All right? Coming up next, got my picks.

884
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: I pick every game straight up and against the spread.

885
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of my way of going around the NFL.

886
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: Give you a few nuggets on each team as we

887
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: go through as well. We'll do my picks next right

888
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: here in Texans All Access. We have got one hour

889
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: in the books. We got one hour left to go.

890
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Texans all Access on this beautiful Friday

891
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 1: evening from the Honday Texans Radio Studio, I am your host,

892
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst and sideline reporter. Busy Weekend Tomorrow,

893
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: I'll be an Echinosius got Stephen F. Austin and Central

894
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: Arkansas Sunday got the game against the Bills and our

895
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: university football reunion weekend. We play one every year, and

896
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: by we, I mean well Rod Wooters. Rod lives up

897
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: in Dallas. God bless his soul, but he's up there.

898
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: But he cheers to the Texans because obviously we're all

899
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: close with ob so everybody coming down. I don't know

900
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: how many guys we're gonna end up having this this weekend.

901
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: Bus can be really good to see the guys and

902
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: hopefully be able to celebrate a win. Last year we

903
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: did it for Game one. That was not fun after

904
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: Game one. So it's always been better when obviously we

905
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: win and then everybody's able to celebrate the win a

906
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: little bit, and then hey, coach bakes the parents for

907
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and then obviously as to get back

908
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: to work. So hopefully get a win against Buffalo and

909
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: then we can all celebrate. But I know my guys

910
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: are out and about in the city. I think tonight

911
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: and definitely tomorrow. Wish I could join them, but got

912
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: some football to call on Saturday. Either way, it'll be

913
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: a fun weekend, nonetheless, especially if the Texans end up winning,

914
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: and for some of you, if the Texans end up

915
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: winning by more than eleven points. Now you know where

916
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm going with this as I segue into my NFL

917
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: game picks. I picked games against the spread and straight up,

918
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: and my record has improved to ninety four point six

919
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: percent against the spread. If you believe that I got

920
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: some river property for you right here in the city

921
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: of Houston. I did not pick Thursday night's game for

922
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: some reason. I didn't get a pick sheet from my buddy,

923
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 1: so I would have picked Philadelphia. And I'm still trying

924
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: to figure out what the you know, what is going

925
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: on with the New York Giants. They were lousy in

926
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: two games before they played US. Then they looked like

927
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs against US. Then they looked good against

928
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: Carolina and looked lousy at home on Thursday night, the

929
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: Eagles were all kinds of awesome. I would have gotten

930
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: that one right because I would have picked the Eagles,

931
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: even on the road. Because I have little confidence in

932
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: inconsistent teams, and that seemingly is what the Giants are.

933
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: Someone would say a bad team. But last week against

934
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers, they should have won that football game. Sixty

935
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: three yard field goal, beat them a sixty three yard

936
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: field goal, beat them on the road at a tough

937
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,479
Speaker 1: place to play in Carolina against a really good football team.

938
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: And last night they just all over the place. It

939
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: was brutal. It was not even a good watch. But

940
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, You'll watch the Giants because Saquon

941
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: Barkley is a dude. I told you the beginning. I'll

942
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: tell you again, sae Quon Barkley equals dude. Now, obviously

943
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of handwringing about what's going on in

944
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: New York. They should have drafted a quarterback in a

945
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: class that was loaded with quarterbacks. They decided to go

946
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: with Barkley. Ironically, Dave Gettleman GM drafted running backs in

947
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: the first round in the top ten two straight years,

948
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey in Carolina and then Saquon Barkley and number

949
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: two for the Giants. Now, the Panthers didn't need a quarterback.

950
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: They needed McCaffrey. But top ten, I don't know. But

951
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: either way, let's get to my picks. But before I do, Maestro,

952
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: give me my music. There it is all right, Let's

953
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: start in Atlanta. Oh boy, things are dicey for dan

954
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: Quinn and the Falcons lost last week the Pittsburgh on

955
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: the road. Falcons sit at one and four. Injuries have

956
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: decimated that team, and it was clear last week against

957
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh they just couldn't stop the Steelers. They couldn't stop

958
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 1: the Bengals the week before that. They can't stop anybody. Now,

959
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay comes to town, and Tampa Bay's is up

960
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: and down as it gets in. Atlanta is favored by three,

961
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: which essentially is what Vegas says. We really don't know

962
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: anything different between these two teams. They're about even, so

963
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: we give the home team essentially three points. That's what

964
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: it feels like. But you know what, I think Atlanta

965
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: is gonna get off the schneid. I think they will

966
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: find their defensive spine if you will get a W

967
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: and cover that three points. So let's go with Atlanta

968
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: to win and to cover over the Buccaneers. Atlanta moves

969
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: the two and four. With that win, then you've got

970
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. I remember what I just said about Vegas.

971
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: Vegas will put a line. Typically teams are even, they'll

972
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: give the home team about a three point edge. Cincinnati's

973
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: four and one, playing as well as any team in

974
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: the NFL. They're playing Pittsburgh, who is not playing as

975
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: well as any team in the NFL, and the line

976
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: is even to pick him. I think Cincinnati's just a

977
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: better football team than Pittsburgh. Now, Cincinnati didn't play like

978
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: it last week in the first half, but they eventually

979
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: got their groove. They found fifth gear, and they got

980
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: in the left lane, and they boat raced Miami the

981
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: second half. Now, it'd helped to have a couple of

982
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: pick sixes. That said, I think Cincinnati's playing some really

983
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: good football. So I'm gonna go with Cincinnati to win,

984
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: and obviously the win will give them a straight up

985
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: cover because the line is even. So Cincinnati will go

986
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: to five and one, and I like seeing I'd like

987
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: seeing teams in the AFC that could possibly be wild

988
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: card candidates, just kind of so Pittsburgh going to two,

989
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: three and one will be kind of nice for everybody else,

990
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: And of course with the Texans. If you're thinking, well,

991
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: that's down the road, so we won't worry too much

992
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: about that. I just think Cincinnati right now is playing

993
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: better football. I don't know if Cincinnati's better overall than Pittsburgh,

994
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: but Cincinnati's playing better right now. Bill Laser at offensive coordinator.

995
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: It's ironic because I talked about my friends from Brown.

996
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: We all played against Bill Laser in college. He was

997
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback at Cornell. He is don a whale of

998
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: a job with Andy Dalton in that offense. And I

999
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: think Cincinnati outscores Pittsburgh and get you to win. In

1000
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: the cover, Cleveland gets a visit from the LA Chargers. Again.

1001
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: This isn't even pick them. Spread years passed, this would

1002
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: have been Chargers. Probably a touchdown the Cleveland coming off

1003
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: a win, sitting at two two and one, tied with Pittsburgh.

1004
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: Do you ever think you're gonna say that Baker Mayfield

1005
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: has been all kinds awesome. He has really given that

1006
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: offense direction. He's given that team direction, and they're feeding

1007
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: off it now. They didn't score much against Baltimore, four

1008
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: field goals, one of them in overtime. The Chargers will

1009
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: force them to score, but no Joey Bosa, I think

1010
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: makes it a little easier for Cleveland. I'm gonna give

1011
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland the straight up win. I can't believe. I just

1012
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not doing that I'm not doing.

1013
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Chargers to beat the Browns that

1014
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 1: I moved Cleveland at two three and one, the Chargers

1015
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: moved to four and two. I just think the Chargers

1016
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers. You know, the first win I believe

1017
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: of Hugh Jackson's career was against the Chargers back in

1018
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. They got one win that year and that

1019
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: was the win over the Chargers. I don't think the

1020
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: Chargers let that happen again. Chargers get to win and

1021
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: to cover obviously being a pick them spread. Seattle goes

1022
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: to Oakland. Oakland has been a defensive mess. That's what

1023
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: happens when you trade the NFL Defensive Player of the

1024
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: Year from twenty sixteen, Khalil mac Oakland relying on young

1025
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: guys on defense, especially upfront. Pja Hoff, Samba Houston, State

1026
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: Art and Key from LSU resehearsed from Michigan. It hasn't

1027
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: come together just yet, but Seattle is going on the road.

1028
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: Seattle has played much much better at home for the

1029
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: most part. They did eke one out against Arizona on

1030
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: the road. To that point, Seattle's favored by two and

1031
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: a half. But I think Oakland's gonna find something. I

1032
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 1: think they're gonna find some resolve. I think Oakland's gonna

1033
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: get the win at home, and obviously they're gonna cover

1034
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: and get inside that two and a half. Even if

1035
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: Seattle wins by one, I'm picking oak to get inside

1036
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: that two and a half, and I'm picking Oakland to

1037
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: win straight up two. The surprise teams in the NFL

1038
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: who would have known that going into Week six Chicago

1039
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: and Miami would be playing. One is the three and

1040
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: one team. One is the three and two team, and

1041
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: Chicago is favorite on the road by three and a half. Huh, really,

1042
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: Chicago is favored by three and a half. That's what

1043
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: happens when you score forty eight and the quarterback catches fire.

1044
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: You're coming off a bye week. It feels like Chicago

1045
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: should win this game. Miami self destructed in the second half,

1046
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: but I think playing at home, I think Miami will

1047
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 1: get it back together. A self destruction like that, they

1048
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: can either they can either circle the wagons in rally

1049
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: or the seasons about to go down to tubes in Miami. Now,

1050
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind it going down to tubes in Miami

1051
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: in some sense because we got to play them in

1052
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks on Thursday Night, the twenty fifth.

1053
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: That's said, I don't think it'll happen just yet. I'm

1054
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: gonna go with Miami. Even Chicago coming off a bye week,

1055
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: and I know Matt Nay come off a bye week

1056
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: can plenty for the Dolphins, but I think the Dolphins

1057
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: are at least gonna get inside the number. So let's

1058
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: go Dolphins to cover the three and a half to

1059
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: get inside the number. And you know what, let's go

1060
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: with Miami with the upset win at home. Give me

1061
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: a road underdog, I'll take it. Arizona goes to Minnesota,

1062
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota favorite by eleven and a half. Arizona got the

1063
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: win last week and feeling pretty good defense, playing a

1064
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: lot better. Rosen to Kirk is a connection I thought

1065
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: we'd see, and it clicked last week for the deep

1066
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: ball touchdown, But going to Minnesota doing it a second

1067
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: week in a row, those second road trips, two road

1068
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: trips in a row can be very, very difficult in

1069
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I think that will catch up with Arizona.

1070
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: I'll go with Minnesota for the win, and I'll go

1071
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: with Arizona to get inside of the the eleven and a half.

1072
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: How about that. I think that Minnesota will get that win,

1073
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: but I think Arizona will least keep it close. They'll

1074
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: play hard for Steve Wilkes. I just think I don't

1075
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: think it'll be enough. So Minnesota with the win, Arizona

1076
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,959
Speaker 1: with the cover getting inside the eleven and a half.

1077
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: Indianapolis goes to the Jets. Jets are favored by one

1078
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Indie getting a few guys back. Darius Leonards should be

1079
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: back this week, and they had them Mini buy. New

1080
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: York ran the football all day long, all day long

1081
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: against Denver. I'm gonna give the Jets the edge here.

1082
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: One just pretty much a pick them. So I'm picking

1083
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: the Jets to win and to cover that one. I

1084
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 1: think the Jets running the football will give the Colts

1085
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: all kinds of issues because the Colts want to run

1086
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: up field. They're not as stout up brought as say

1087
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: the Giants are with Damian Damon Harrison or the Bills

1088
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: are with star the Tula and Kyle Williams. So I

1089
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: think the Jets are gonna run the football at the

1090
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: Colts and just stuff it down their throats. Sam Done

1091
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: will make a few plays, and I think they'll go

1092
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: to Robbie Anderson over the top. I'm gonna take the

1093
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: Jets to knock the Colts to one in five, even

1094
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 1: though the Colts played really well shorthanded in a big

1095
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: way there day against the Patriots, not last night. Previous Thursday.

1096
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: Washington gets to visit from Carolina. This is also a

1097
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: pick them. I'm taking Carolina over Washington. I'm not buying Washington.

1098
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: Washington's coming off a short week. Carolina got a momentum

1099
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: building sixty three yard field goal to beat the New

1100
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: York Giants last week. I think Washington is I think

1101
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: Washington is a year or two. They're starting to build

1102
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: a defensive front, and I think they've got some on

1103
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: the offensive front. I don't think Alex Smith is the

1104
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: right fit for Washington. So I think that Carolina is

1105
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: going to go into Washington on a short week and

1106
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: hand it to Washington. Washington bounce back. I think Carolins

1107
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: is gonna end up winning that football game the Bills

1108
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: in the Texans. The Texans are eleven point favorites in

1109
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: this one. I think Vegas believes that Deshaun Watson will

1110
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: be back because that's what the rhetoric was earlier this week.

1111
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 1: I'll let you decide what is going to happen there,

1112
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: but you know how I feel. I'm never gonna pick

1113
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: against the Texans, Harthead, so you can disregard what I

1114
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: think from that perspective. I'm always going with the Texans.

1115
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: But eleven point favorite, man, when those the Texans, y'all

1116
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: tell you the last time the Texans were this high

1117
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: favorite it was Week ten. No, I'm sorry, he's Week

1118
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: nine against the Colts last year. And then Deshaan tore

1119
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: his knee up on Thursday going into that game and

1120
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: it plummeted to like Texans two or three, and they

1121
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: ended up losing that game to the Colts. So take

1122
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: that for what it's worth. Rams go to Denver. I

1123
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: know that Wade Phillips wants to show Denver what it lost.

1124
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 1: I think Denver after last week a lot of question

1125
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: marks around this team. Rams are favored by seven and

1126
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: a half. I think Denver will circle the Wagons and

1127
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: play hard. I think Denver will actually get inside that

1128
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: seven and a half and make this tough for the

1129
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: Rams when the end, the Rams are just too tough

1130
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: at this point. I think the Rams get to win,

1131
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: but Denver will get inside that number. Jacksonville goes to

1132
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: Dallas on the road. Jacksonville favored by three, No four

1133
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: net no. Corey Grant. Don't know whether you're gonna get

1134
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: good or bad Blake Bortles. They're on the road for

1135
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: the second straight we before a visit from US next weekend.

1136
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: In Dallas plays well at home two and three, three

1137
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: games on the road, two games at home. I'll go

1138
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: with Dallas to win and obviously get you to cover.

1139
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: That would be a little bit of an upset. But

1140
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: if Dallas can find if Dallas can find the receivers

1141
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: a little bit more, the passing game can improve just

1142
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: a little bit, and bad Blake Bortles shows up, Dallas

1143
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: can win a football game. Baltimore goes in Tennessee at

1144
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Baltimore favored. They're both three and two. Baltimore favored

1145
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: by two and a half. I do think Baltimore win

1146
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: this game. I'm still not buying Tennessee. I'm still not buying.

1147
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: Call me a Hayle, but I'm still not buying Tennessee.

1148
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: Just won't do it. I'm taking Baltimore to winn It

1149
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: to cover the two and a half Kansas City going

1150
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: to New England. Remember I said earlier even teams. How

1151
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: Vegas assesses even teams. They give three points to the

1152
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: home team. New England's favored by three, so Vegas sees

1153
00:55:55,520 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 1: these as even teams. Now. The only thing I'm keep

1154
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: an eye on it this one is Sony Michelle. Sony

1155
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: Michelle has added, I mean, it's basically like Sony Michelle

1156
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: took a flamignon and he put a good He's the

1157
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 1: Oscar sauce on top. That makes it. He's made the meal,

1158
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: if you will. But he's got to be healthy to

1159
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: do it. I do not believe that New England will

1160
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: lose to Kansas City two years in a row. Do

1161
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: not believe it. So I think New England gets to win,

1162
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: and they get the cover of three points. And on

1163
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: Monday night, San Francisco goes to green Bay. Green Bay,

1164
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: favored by ten and a half, will lay those points,

1165
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 1: will take Green Bay and to get the cover at

1166
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: ten and a half San Francisco. Losing Arizona last week.

1167
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: I know Kyle Shannan's gotta be frustrated losing Jimmy g

1168
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: So let's go Packers to get on track against the

1169
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers and get the win and

1170
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: win by and hopefully it doesn't come down a field goal.

1171
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: Hopefully it does not come down to the field goal.

1172
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: My goodness. Now Rogers has been banged up a little bit.

1173
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: That is something to keep an eye on. But I'm

1174
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: still going with Green Bay to cover that ten and

1175
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: a half and beat to San Francisco forty Now, all right,

1176
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's an interview that you will find,

1177
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: I think very compelling with one of my good friends

1178
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: in this building, senior director of Digital Media and Strategy.

1179
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,719

1187
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: one of my favorite people in this entire building. A

1188
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: good buddy, senior director of Digital Media and Strategy, former

1189
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: baseball player play at University of Monavallo in Alabama, and

1190
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: just the best dude. He's if I ever am feeling

1191
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: kind of off a little bit or I need kind

1192
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: of a pick me up, Eric sonn and Asensio is

1193

Speaker 1: the guy that I go to. He is absolutely fantastic

1194
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,439
Speaker 1: and he leads a department for us in the media

1195
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: is changing every single day and he has his finger

1196
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: on the pulse of it. Eric had a chance to

1197
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: sit down with the Voice of Texans, Mark vanderber joining

1198
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: us now. Eric son and Asensio, Senior director of Digital

1199
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: Media and Strategy for the Houston Texans. What's going on, Eric, anyway,

1200
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: didn't you? Yeah? Strategy, Well you get that long title.

1201
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: But strategy is an important part of it because it's

1202
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: not just putting stuff out there online and on all

1203
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: the social media platforms, it's when and how to do

1204
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: it right. Yeah. I think we're big believers here in process,

1205
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: so we always try to say is you prepare all

1206
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: the way up to kick off, and then after that

1207
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: you're just ready just in case anything happens. Yeah, because

1208
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: the way a game goes, the way a play happens.

1209
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: You know, the DeAndre Hopkins play that we're able to

1210
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: turn into a great content piece for multiple days after

1211
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: you don't know that that's coming. You've got the process

1212
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: in place, how you view each platform and what you

1213
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: think would work. Well, there, you've got all that and grained.

1214
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: Then when that tremendous moment happens, you're able to capitalize

1215
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: on it. But what if a moment doesn't happen. That's

1216
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: a good point too, because you got to have the

1217
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: process involved. We don't always win games, Yeah, we don't

1218
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: always have of phenomenal plays that become nationwide sensations. So

1219
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: I think again, how are you viewing each platform? What

1220
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: is the tone of voice? Like, we have a social

1221
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: one seater. I'm telling you this year, my boss, you

1222
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: know all this, but we have a social one seater

1223
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: and we also have a social tone of voice that

1224
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: allows us to understand what are we trying to communicate

1225
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: with our fans through each platform? How are we doing that?

1226
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: How does that change whether we want to lose, because

1227
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: you have to have all those factors considered because, as

1228
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: we know, an NFL season goes up and down, up

1229
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: and run, and you've got to be prepared to deliver

1230
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: content despite what is happening on the field. So there

1231
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: are different aspects of this whole thing. And I find

1232
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: this fascinating because when you look at the teams around

1233
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: the globe that have the biggest followings, we're talking about

1234
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: international soccer football, international football teams. You're talking about the Yankees,

1235
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: and of course the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. But

1236
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: all these teams have something in common. They don't win

1237
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: every game, right, but fans still engage. And I come

1238
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: from the talk radio background, so it's kind of it

1239
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: reminds me of that in a way because you put

1240
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: stuff out there, the fans are responding through the various platforms. Right. No,

1241
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: And I think what's interesting about the NFL, And you

1242
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: say this all the time to us in our meetings,

1243
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: we go seven eight months without playing a game. Yeah,

1244
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: so we've got to continue to be engaging despite not

1245
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: having a product on the field to promote and help,

1246
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, connect with fans. You look at those soccer examples.

1247
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're pretty much year long, or at least

1248
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: in the way they're playing Yankees. You know, they just

1249
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: finished in the postseason, but they play one hundred and

1250
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: six or two games, so you get the opportunity to

1251
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: have that daily one on one interaction that's centered around

1252
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: an athletic event. I think the challenge we face is

1253
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: that there's build up for each game, which is fantastic,

1254
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: but then after that you've got to transition and figuring

1255
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: out when to the next game, and you know, everybody,

1256
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's so much emotion spent with each game

1257
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: that on the Monday you're just exhausted. You're trying to

1258
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: recap what happened. But then you've got to slowly build

1259
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: up to Sunday. It's a unique schedule structure that most

1260
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: other leagues don't have to worry about, just because the

1261
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: sheer number of games that we play, and you know,

1262
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: the kind of tight nature of this NFL schedule. Eric

1263
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: sod and a Stasio joining US senior director of Digital

1264
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Media for the Houston Texans. Now, why do the players

1265
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: not all players, but why do players have more followers

1266
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: than actual teams in many cases, Well, I think because

1267
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: first off, they've become brands themselves, and I think what

1268
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: most fans are interacting with this generation of fans is

1269
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: more about players. Used to be When me and you

1270
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: were growing up, we followed a team, like your favorite

1271
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: team was X. I think the NBA and a lot

1272
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: of the social generation that's grown up on social media

1273
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: has connected more with players than teams. So you might

1274
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: be a Lebron James fan. You're not necessarily a Lakers fan,

1275
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: but you are one now because he's there. So I

1276
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: think when you look at players and how much more

1277
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: visible and how much easier it is to connect with

1278
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: them nowadays. Deshaun Watson's the JJ Watts. You know how

1279
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: easy it is to tweet at them and hope that

1280
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: they respond that one to one connection. It fosters just

1281
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: kind of want to be around them, want to share

1282
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: with them, and want to follow them individually and learn

1283
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: more about their story. When you look at the NBA,

1284
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: it's such a global thing. When you look at you

1285
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: about of followers these guys. Have you mentioned Lebron? How

1286
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: much of that had to do with Yao? How much

1287
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: of it had to do with Barcelona and the original

1288
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: Dream Team? I think Barcelona starts at all, right, Like

1289
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: I think if you ask Genobli Dirk Nowitzki, they all

1290
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: back to ninety two and say that's the moment that

1291
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: where they really got interested in basketball, not only just

1292
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 1: to play it, but as a possible profession. You see

1293
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: these people and they're your heroes, but you actually get

1294
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: to see them play against folks that you're accustomed to.

1295
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: People forget. You know, they played Croatia in that bronze

1296
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: medal game or to get to the gold medal game.

1297
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: Tony Cook coach is on that team, Drazen Petrovitch, you know,

1298
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: so like guys that they grew up following in Europe.

1299
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, we're playing Michael Jordan and Charles Barkers.

1300
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: I think that's the main thing, But I think secondarily

1301
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: because a lot of these stars have grown up with

1302
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: only social media in their lives. We talk about natives

1303
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: and immigrants all the time, right, So Lebron's a native.

1304
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 1: He's spent on TV since he was seventeen years old.

1305
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: So I think that story continues to culminate. So you've

1306
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: got seventeen years that you've been following and being intimately

1307
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: close to Lebron James, his family. You know that his

1308
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: son is an amazing basketball player. You know you know

1309
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: what his family is doing because he shares that. And

1310
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: so when you build that affinity over such a long

1311
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: period of time, I think that's why you see this

1312
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: growth and this connection and people feeling like they're part

1313
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: of the journey themselves. Do you think the international games

1314
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: are helping the NFL in that capacity become more of

1315
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: a global brand with the players and the teams and everything.

1316
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: I think it can only help, right like, because the

1317
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: only way that you get that connection, and this is

1318
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: what's beautiful about what we do here in stadium, right Like,

1319
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: you can watch the game on TV, but being here

1320
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: sitting in the stands next to other fans and those

1321
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: moments where we beat the Cowboys and seventy two thou screaming,

1322
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: that's unique experience. You can only do that at the game.

1323
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: So I just think, you know, the NFL maybe is

1324
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: a little bit behind because they haven't been in the

1325
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: international spaces long, whereas the NBA soccer they do these

1326
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: things a little bit more often. But I think the

1327
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: more that you actually get to see the game, because

1328
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: there's one thing to see it for the first time

1329
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: on television, but you may miss an angle. I would

1330
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: say this with hockey. If you go to a hockey

1331
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: game physically, you have a much greater experience and appreciation

1332
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: for the sport than you would if you're watching on television,

1333
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: because you see how big the guys are, you see

1334
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: how fast it everything is moving. I've never seen a

1335
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: hockey game before I saw one, and it's like, wow,

1336
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: you really understand the gracefulness of the sport. I think

1337
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: football is the same way because it's a little bit

1338
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: more challenging for a basic person understand because there's plays

1339
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: and formations and everyone's going somewhere and the place stops.

1340
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: It's not like soccer where it's continuous. So I think

1341
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: the more you get that out in front of people,

1342
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: the more affinity they'll catch. Sure. Look at England, right

1343
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: and the United Kingdom how much it's grown in terms

1344
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: of fan base and I what shot CON's thinking about

1345
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: doing with Wembley and all that kind of stuff like

1346
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: that all comes from them being connected to the game

1347
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: and then you build this affinity over time. Now in China,

1348
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: the Texans are pretty big right, number two in the NFL,

1349
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: behind the Patriots. All right, that's pretty impressive right there.

1350
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like spinal tap movie reference. We're

1351
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: big in Japan, Well, we're big in China. Actually, why

1352
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: is that? How is that? Well? I think we just

1353
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: put a lot of effort in, you know, led by

1354
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: your direction obviously, in the department, we've tried really hard

1355
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that we find unique ways to share

1356
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: content with them, and so we've done some things. You'd

1357
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: be surprised. The most popular not a player, but person

1358
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: in our organization in china's Toro, and I think it's

1359
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: just because of their affinity with anime characters, and he's

1360
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: a character, and so a lot of times we do

1361
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: give rays based on him, and he does videos for them,

1362
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: and we try to do special content that speaks directly

1363
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: to them. And of course we've got big stars, which

1364
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: always helps JJ Watson International Star. We actually do something

1365
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: really cool last year with Hurricane Harvey, where we were

1366
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: able to take his video where he's asking for helping donations,

1367
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: put that on our way board account actually get people

1368
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: in China involved with helping here. Wow. So I think

1369
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: things like that, you know, just show you the global

1370
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: reach of what social media is and I think these

1371
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: are all long term plans, right, Like we talk about

1372
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: digital is not a Texas thing, it's not a United

1373
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: States thing. It's a world thing. There's three billion social

1374
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: media users in the entire planet. It's like forty two

1375
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: percent of the planet. Like it's kind of scary. So

1376
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: I think when you look at it in terms of

1377
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: that global reach, we want to be in as many

1378
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: places as we can. We've amped up in Mexico as well,

1379
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: South America, things like that, just wherever we have a

1380
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: natural connection and we can talk about our brand, our

1381
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: organization and our great players. Eric Son of Asensio, Senior

1382
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Director Digital Media for the Houston Texans. Now, a lot

1383
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: of people are a Facebook, a lot of people follow Twitter.

1384
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: So what's really hot right now? Facebook? They had that

1385
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: algorithm change. Everybody talked about its getting rid of the

1386
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: fake news or trying to or whatever they did last spring,

1387
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: I guess or winter. So where is that now and

1388
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: where is it versus Twitter? Well, I think the demographics

1389
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: depend on your following. Like as an organization, like I

1390
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: would say we're a face Book team, you know. I

1391
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: think if you look at our season ticket members are

1392
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: a little older. I think they're more comfortable with Facebook.

1393
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 1: It was the first real open social media platform, so

1394
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: we have our greatest success is probably there. Instagram is

1395
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: continue to really explode among people, like I would say

1396
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: twenty to about thirty five, you know, that's that key

1397
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: target demo that you always talk about. Eighteen to thirty

1398
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: fours I would say as an Instagram audience now. But

1399
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: then Snapchat's really great because you have the opportunity to

1400
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: reach people all the way down to thirteen. Thirteen to

1401
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: twenty two is where we're our most popular wealth on

1402
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Snapchat now, And that's what I'm saying. So like they're

1403
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: going to grow up in a world where they only

1404
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: have that option to them to share on those social

1405
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: media channels. So I think that's where the strategy part

1406
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: comes in there. We talked about earlier what works on

1407
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: each platform. Snapchat's more creative, more interactive. Instagram it's more

1408
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: photo based, you know, occasional video, Facebook, hard news, more

1409
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: like a website. So I think once you understand what

1410
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: each platform is giving to you and its strengths, then

1411
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: you can kind of craft a strategy that works for

1412
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: each of them. How big and this is kind of

1413
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: a loaded question, The NFL is so important for the

1414
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: broadcast networks. The top fifteen television programs of any kind

1415
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: in the month of September we're all NFL games. That's

1416
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: an amazing stat. It's an amazing stat. But on social media,

1417
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned the NBA is huge, and because obviously we're

1418
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: going globally, but how important are sports in general to

1419
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook. I know you visit these places. I've

1420
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: been with you all one of those trips. It's really

1421
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: interesting you've visited Google and Facebook and Snapchat and snap

1422
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: face and Spacebook at all of it. As Bill O'Brien

1423
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: might say, I think they're the lifeblood of social media.

1424
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is it's one of

1425
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: the few communities where a lot of people can come together,

1426
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: despite their background, to have a shared experience. Like we

1427
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: talk about this all the time. In stadium. There'll be

1428
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: somebody fifty years old sitting next to somebody twenty years old,

1429
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: and all they care about is that they're both rooting

1430
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: for the Texans. So I think what you're looking for,

1431
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: like Facebook specifically, you mentioned their algorithm change, but what

1432
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: they want is more meaningful interaction. That's the whole thing.

1433
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: It's like not just something that's spammy or that's creating

1434
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: a bad experience, because in the end they want their

1435
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: feed to be good. So it's interaction, is community, it's

1436
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: feeling together. What does that better than sports, especially when

1437
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: you're on a memorable run or things are going well

1438
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: in the organization. There's nothing more unifying for the city,

1439
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, for an online social media base like that

1440
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: then sports. So I think it's really huge and it

1441
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: shows if you look at each platform. Facebook's done tom

1442
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: versus time. Twitter has done some you know stuff with

1443
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: different companies doing pregame shows. You know, Instagram launched their

1444
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: IGTV with Clemson Football, Tennessee and a few others because

1445
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: they know that you've got this big group of people

1446
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: that are all united towards one goal. So I think

1447
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: that's what sports can provide that not other And there's

1448
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: no other discipline really that does that. Where do you

1449
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: think it's going Eric ten twenty years? Are we watching

1450
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 1: all our games on a social media platform of sorts?

1451
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, because you have the Thursday night games on Amazon.

1452
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,480
Speaker 1: Now you're doing more and more on these other platforms

1453
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 1: like Facebook. What do you think. I think my rule

1454
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: of thumb is it's going to go to whatever makes

1455
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: us lazier. And if you think about how social media

1456
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: has change, they call a convenience, but it really is

1457
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,719
Speaker 1: separating you from having to do something. We talk about

1458
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: this a lot, right, Like you don't even have to

1459
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store anymore. My wife orders online

1460
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: at wall March, she shows up at Walmart. They delivered

1461
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: it right to her car. You can do it even better.

1462
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: You call Amazon through Whole Foods and they'll just send

1463
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: it right to your front doorsteps. So I think what

1464
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: they call convenience exactly the Coroger clicklist. You know, hib

1465
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: does stuff like this as well. So I think it's

1466
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: all about convenience. Voice is going to become important too.

1467
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: You start to see Facebook the other day launch something

1468
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: what they call Portal, which is their answer to basically

1469
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: to Alexa and Amazon Echo and all these different things

1470
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,799
Speaker 1: that are out there. But I think what's gonna really

1471
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: move forward in the next five to ten years is

1472
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: the ability to create an experience without being there. So

1473
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: whether that's virtual reality or that's augmented reality. Because and

1474
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: we talk about this in our building, we're very fortunate.

1475
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: We sold out every ticket in the history of our organization.

1476
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: The hardest part for some of our fans is just

1477
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: to get in this building right to watch the game.

1478
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: So if you're at home, how can I make you

1479
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: feel the same experience. We do that a lot with

1480
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the three sixty videos that we shoot in the tunnel

1481
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: and things like that. I think it's honestly going to

1482
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: get to the point, and I know the leagues are

1483
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 1: not going to want to hear this, but in ten

1484
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: or fifteen years, you're gonna be able to get a

1485
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: mid chord, you know, fifty yard line experience during the

1486
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: game while sitting on your couch, because there's gonna be

1487
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: enough cameras reality to make that happen. What that says

1488
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: about us is a human race and how we separate

1489
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: and how we you know, maybe don't interact as much

1490
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: as we used to. You know, that remains to be seen.

1491
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: But you look at some of the VR options are

1492
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: out there and are it's gonna get to the point

1493
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: where you Mark Vandomer can sit at home in your

1494
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,759
Speaker 1: house in Sugarland, Texas and watch any basketball, baseball, football

1495
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: game that you want right from your couch and feel

1496
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: like if you would like to hear the interview and

1579
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: so that's weird first question, but I like it. I

1580
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: like it because that's what we do here. We do

1581
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: weird stuff. So that's not a soup or cereal. Is

1582
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,639
Speaker 1: not a soup? Is a hot dog a sandwich? Yes,

1583
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: that's the wrong answer. Actually, so why would what is it? Then?

1584
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: It's just a hot dog. It's not a sandwich, but

1585
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: it's in between buns. Isn't that consider a sandwich. That's

1586
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 1: what I consider a sandwich. I just I don't know

1587
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: what I can't say it's a sandwich though, I can't.

1588

01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 1: answer both of those. Yeah, I could see not the

1591
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:59,519

1601
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: one of the first things that Mark Vandomir learned was

1602
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: how to say Kayami's middle name, John Christian Kayimi and

1603

1621
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:40,519

1622
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 1: that you can make in the locker room. What would

1623
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: it be? One rule? One rule? It'll probably be a

1624
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: morning rule. Like first thirty minutes we get in a

1625
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: log room, everybody kind of collect their thoughts. So we

1626
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: get the banging music and guys get the talking. Let

1627
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,680
Speaker 1: everybody wake up first. Dudes need a shower before they

1628
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: leave out, before they leave it ain't right. It ain't right.

1629
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,599
Speaker 1: The beginning in the car, going back to I don't

1630
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: know your girlfriend, your wife, whoever you got smelling like that.

1631
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: Dudes needn't need to wash your arms, strub everywhere. So

1632
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: what you're saying is we have guys in here that

1633
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: pop the shower appeal. I please to pick Justin re

1634
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,600
Speaker 1: has spoken about that. That's just one rule for the

1635
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: locker room. You guys out there, you know who you are.

1636
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: I probably take out this pin pone tip because I

1637
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 1: ain't that good man. Everybody on every one to let

1638
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: me play the practice. So I'd probably say just take

1639
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 1: that on out by the you. That's pretty selfish rule.

1640
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 1: But okay, I'm gonna go with the ping pong rule. Right,

1641
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: you have a max of five games a day. You know,

1642
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: some of these guys get too many practice cansens. They're

1643
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 1: starting to elevate their game above the rest of us.

1644
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's a serious terment. You understand this. I do,

1645

Speaker 1: I do. Damn. I'm pretty good at ping pone. Man,

1646
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:52,559

01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: I told DP who leads the charge on Player Reporter,

1663
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: that was one of the best player reporters. He goes,

1664
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: check out the video. The video is great. I love

1665
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:02,839
Speaker 1: how Alfred Blue is trying to make him Blue teas.

1666
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 1: It's absolutely fantastic. Everybody trying to get a piece of

1667
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 1: the pot. But that's a good one. Rules in the

1668
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: locker room. Very very well done for Player Reporter. All right,

1669
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 1: we always have in our players segment, Get to Know

1670
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: Player Reporter and the final word with Drew Dory this

1671
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: week it's a guy who the last couple of weeks

1672
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: I think has been absolutely fantastic. And linebackers second year

1673
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: I think do to be a superstar. Zach Cunningham. Drew

1674
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: take it away, many many thanks, fellas. We've got linebackers

1675
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 1: Zach Cunningham and Zach Youth defensively are riding high after

1676
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: that performance against the Dallas Cowboys. First things first, how

1677
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: did you lock down Ezekiel Elliott the way you did?

1678
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Think it came down to playing team defense and you know,

1679
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: all of this playing together always, all this communicating everyone

1680
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: playing hard, you know, staying focused out there. Okay, let's

1681
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 1: look over the stats at just the fourth quarter and

1682
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: in overtime. So he touches the ball eight times in

1683
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: those that's he gets seventeen total yards. He carries the

1684
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: ball five times and he only gets a total of

1685
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 1: one yard. It kind of reflected what you had done

1686
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: the whole game. But what happened there at the very

1687
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,639
Speaker 1: end against the guy who you could tell this guy's

1688
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: amazing and he had he showed glimpses of it, but y'all,

1689
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: y'all really bottled him up. Yeah, towards the end, we

1690
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: all knew that we had to you know, basically anchor down.

1691
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 1: That we had to know with the job that we

1692
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 1: had to do, and so it became even that more

1693
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: impertinent for us to step up at that time. How's

1694
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: it been feeling two weeks in a row, you get

1695
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 1: overtime wins after the way this this team started owing three.

1696
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: Gotta be feeling a little bit differently in the locker room,

1697
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah, it's definitely a lot a lot more

1698
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: you can tell, like the attitude in the locker room

1699
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: is a little bit more lifted. Definitely a change as

1700
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 1: you can as you can feel like kind of in

1701
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: the atmosphere of the locker room. How much or how

1702
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 1: little is just a matter of you guys playing together,

1703
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: getting some time together in game action against a team

1704
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: that's not your own, and kind of figuring out each

1705
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: other's strength weaknesses. Who were to compensate all that stuff?

1706
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,720
Speaker 1: How ch of that is a factor, So you know,

1707
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: going week to week and you know, a game by

1708
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 1: game that all like plays a big part in getting

1709
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: more guys, getting more comfortable with the people they're playing

1710
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: next to with this game that we're playing in and

1711
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: just getting to know each other, you know more in

1712
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: the locker room and also on the field. And now

1713
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: with the page turning to the Buffalo Bills, tell me

1714
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: about the biggest challenge in shutting down a guy or

1715
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: trying to limit a guy like Lashawn McCoy. Yeah, that

1716
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna come down to, Like like I said,

1717
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: everyone knowing to do that. You know, everyone's got to

1718
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: do their job and then helping out you know after that,

1719
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,679
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's going to be the biggest focus

1720
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: for us, knowing that everyone knowing their job and everyone

1721
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 1: doing their job. How much do you pay attention to

1722
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: the fact that the quarterback this week is a rookie

1723
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: and how much does that help you guys as a defense? Yeah,

1724
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: coming into it knowing the rookie, there's definitely something things

1725
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: that we focus on as far as like rookie, what

1726
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback would know or whether the quarterback with

1727
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: what do you know just now coming into the NFL,

1728
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: And that's something that we're probably gonna be targeting as

1729
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: a defense. How nice was it just playing at home?

1730
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of Cowboys fans last week,

1731
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: but how nice was it hearing that crowd noise when

1732
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: you guys are out there on defense? Because even though

1733
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: there were a lot of Cowboys fans. Yeah, I mean

1734
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 1: I've been here ten years, that's the loudest I've heard

1735
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 1: it in quite some time. Oh Yeah, that was definitely exciting.

1736
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: Definitely had a lot of energy out there and that

1737
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 1: did help us, you know, just uh with the with

1738
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: the energy that we had out there on the field,

1739
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, hearing the fans cheering us on. It definitely

1740
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: push us to go harder, definitely push us to finish

1741
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: out the game. And what sort of ways does that

1742
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 1: revue up personally though? When you when when it's that

1743
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: loud and you can't yell something, allow you can't hear it,

1744
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: oh you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah, but I

1745
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: mean that definitely. It is just you know, here you're

1746
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: hearing that, you know, hearing that in the background, hearing

1747
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: then people cheering you on, you know it kind of

1748
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: it feels you up with something that makes you want

1749
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,600
Speaker 1: to push yourself further than you that you would be

1750
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: able to do normally. All right, well, we hope you

1751
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 1: push it further this weekend against the Bills. Many many

1752
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on and best of luck against Buffalo

1753
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: Kay Zach rand much. I don't know about y'all, but

1754
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 1: I seem to get a very white vibe with Zach Cuttingham, who,

1755
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: by the way, he got some sweet singing pipes, sweet pipes.

1756
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: He can absolutely belt it out, very very good. He

1757
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: told deeply in a Deep Stunt interview last year that

1758
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: he had a long history with choir and church. So

1759
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: he grew up in a music league based family, which

1760
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I think is very very I think one of the

1761
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:24,560
Speaker 1: great things about being in this business finding some of

1762
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: the hidden talents of players over the years, and it's

1763
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 1: really cool. I think about Drew Dorty a lot and

1764
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Sean Cody. Sean Cody was one of the funniest individuals

1765
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: ever and they really kind of found that when they

1766
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: did On the Nose a number of years ago, and

1767
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 1: Drew and Sean I have stayed close and Sean is

1768
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: just he's a riot. And you find out the guys

1769
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: that are comedians, guys that can sing, guys that can ski.

1770
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 1: There's a different kind of things you can find out

1771
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 1: about these guys as you get to know them over

1772
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 1: the years. And for Zach, well, he can belt it out, man,

1773
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. Now, he didn't there, but

1774
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: he is capable of doing that. A little question in

1775
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: that all Right, Sunday New kick taken on the Bills
