I'm your host, John Harris football 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: anals a SIDAE reporter on this wonderful Monday evening. And 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: I say wonderful just because the weather is great always 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: to talk about the weather is so good to be 19 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: in this city at this particular time of year in particular, 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: and we have to live through July, in August, in 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: June two, and most of September, a little bit of October. 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: But then when we get to January, we get days 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: like this, Oh it's great, now, wonderful, not yesterday, forty 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: one thirty eight Titans winning a doink good, that's a 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: new one. I don't think the Texans have lost that way, 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: but man, they found a way to do it in 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. What a wild ride it was, and at 28 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: times it's like one of the old Astro World amusement 29 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: park rides where you're just being thrown about and you 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: think it's kind of great, and you're like, it kind 31 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: of hurts, and then at the end you throw up 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: all over the place. And that's kind of the way 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: twenty season went. The only thing that's survived I think 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: were my nostrils. I think, I don't know. I'm not 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: totally sure you. I don't even know if we're done 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: with COVID testing. But that said, we got a couple 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: hours and we got a number of different things. This 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: is one of those seasons in which you do want 39 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: to look back at some things, and so we're going 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: to in our second hour. We're gonna look back at 41 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: plays of the year. We're gonna also look back at 42 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: two guys that were phenomenal. On the offensive side, it 43 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: was the Shawn Watson. On the defensive side, it was 44 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: JJ Watt. We'll take a look at their seasons. We'll 45 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: also take a look at the best plays in twenty 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: twenty minus yesterday. I don't even know that I could 47 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: play any place from that yesterday and feel good about it, 48 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. And there are were some 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: great plays. I mean I told my wife when I 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: got home. I looked at her at some point and 51 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: she's like, jeez, what happened? How did it go? And 52 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: I stopped and I went, Now, if you didn't have 53 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: a dog in the fight, that was one heck of 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: a football game to watch. I mean, DeShawn Watson on 55 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: one side, Ryan Tannel on the other, Love Tanniel has 56 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: become just a tremendous quarterback and they're just going at 57 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: one another. Derek Henry going for two fifty I said 58 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: this today on Texas Monday. He's rushed for over two 59 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: thousand yards. Two thousand, I mean, she's two thousand yards. 60 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: He hit twenty three percent of his yards against US 61 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: this year. I think the numbers four sixty two, twenty 62 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: three percent of his yards came against US, and that's 63 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: got to change. Our run defense was just deplorably bad. 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: So hopefully that's going to be something that can change. 65 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: And like I said before, it can change. So second hour, 66 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: we'll look back on twenty twenty, we'll look back at 67 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: the season J. J. Watt had, we'll look back in 68 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: the season Deshaun Watson had as well. But in this hour, 69 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from the Shawn Watson and hear his 70 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: press conference in its entirety. And of course, you know 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: it's got to start off with the general John McClain, 72 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: how much of your success was because of Tim Kelly 73 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: and would you like to see the new coach keep Tim? 74 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: Most definitely? I mean Tim over the past two years, 75 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: I've really took in my game to all to a 76 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: whole another level as far as his knowledge reading defenses, 77 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: understanding run points and run schemes, understanding you know, the 78 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: way of you know, different concepts up some different situations. 79 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: So his knowledge of just a game of football is 80 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: very very bright, and um, you know, he really helped 81 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: me take my game, especially this year. You know, the 82 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: best football played in my in my career. It's the 83 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: best player on the team. Do you feel comfortable reaching 84 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: out when the new coaches are and putting in a 85 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: good word for Kelly A? Most Definitely. I've already done that, 86 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, to the ownership. You know, I had to 87 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: call had a call with with Kalli yesterday and they 88 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: know that. So I have all the respect and love 89 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: for Tim and I definitely want him around as long 90 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: as possible. Oh, I know you took a step forward 91 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: this year in a lot of different areas, But is 92 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: there something you can point to to why your interception 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: rate just so much better this year? I mean taking 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: care of the ball, knowing where to go at the ball, um, 95 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: being more accurate and anticipation on different concepts, and it 96 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: really just just pitting in the ball in the in 97 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: the right place, you know, instead of you know, into 98 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: the defensive guy's hands, into you know, my receiver's hands. 99 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: Something you're most proud of this year? Yeah, I guess 100 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: the biggest thing is is playing a full another full year, um, 101 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, three in a row, making you know a 102 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Um. Of course, all the individual stats, but 103 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: just being able to accomplish the things I accomplish, you know, 104 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: through you know, uh, dysfunctional year pretty much. So I 105 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: think I'm pretty proud of that as much as you 106 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: can share what was what we're viewing JJ discussing as 107 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: y'all walked off the field yesterday. What was that like 108 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: as you and him after the last game of the 109 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: year walked off together. Man, it's just tougher. I mean, 110 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: we didn't want the season and end like this. You know, 111 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: we wanted to win that game, but we just didn't 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: want to. You know, that just you know summed up 113 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: the whole year. Um that the last couple couple of 114 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: minutes and it was just tough. So we just kind 115 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: of just walked off together and just kind of slew 116 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: to our fans and appreciate the fans and then excuse me, 117 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: went into the locker room and uh, you know, just 118 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: had a moment as a team. You've been part of 119 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: the championship college team, See what leadership is like. You've 120 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: been part of division champions here. What do you ideally 121 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: hope for a leader from a coach? Just where some 122 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: of equalities you'd like to see in a head coach 123 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: and what do you hear about arch enemy in general? 124 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: I know you mentioned them a little bit before the 125 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: conversations you've had with some of the Chiefs. Guys, we 126 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: just need a whole courtraship. We just need new energy. 127 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: We just we need discipline, we need structure, We need 128 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: a follow a leader so we can follow that leaders 129 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: as players. And that's what we need. And you know, 130 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: we gotta have, you know, the love of just not 131 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: just a game of football, because that's what we do, 132 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: but the love for people and the people in this 133 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: organization we all got to be on the same page 134 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: as too many different mind and too many different ideas, 135 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: and too many people thinking that they have this power 136 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: and it's not like that. You know, we need someone 137 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: that stantall and this is who we following. This is 138 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: the way it goes. Like I said yesterday after the game, 139 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do it this way to win. And 140 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: I said I haven't met Um. I probably probably met him. 141 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: I think through passing Eric. I think after a couple 142 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: of games we played the Chiefs, haven't really sat down 143 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: or been around them too much, but I heard nothing 144 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: but great things about them. So Um, you know, we'll 145 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: see where that go. But you know, I heard nothing 146 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: but great things for from you know, coach and all 147 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: the players in the case about Eric Shaun. Was there 148 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: any level of discomfort for you during that time when 149 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: y'all didn't have a traditional general manager set up, you know, 150 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: it was the coach being the general manager, and things 151 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: were just seemed a little bit shaky. No, honestly, I 152 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: wasn't even worried about that. I was just worried about 153 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: playing football. Um, you know, the whole GM and coach 154 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: situation right there. I was just you know that I 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: didn't want that to be a distraction for me in 156 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: my game and the things that I wanted to try 157 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: to accomplish for this year. And then also there's a 158 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: lot of conversation, I guess among us about whether you 159 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: guys should hire a defensive minded coach or an offensive 160 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: minded coach. Does that matter to you? And it shouldn't 161 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: matter one way or the other whether the coach's defensive 162 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: minded offensive mind. I'm not sure what exactly the ownership 163 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: and the people in the head office want to do, 164 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: but whoever it is, Like I said before, I just 165 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: got to come in with a great structure and plan 166 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: and discipline and make sure we making sure that everyone 167 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: around us is on the same page and we're accountable 168 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: for every action that we're making. You know, we're all 169 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: striving to go for one goal and that's you know, 170 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: raising that trophy. But it's got to start, you know, 171 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: from the bottom, and we got to build up and 172 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: it might take some time. But we all can't be impatient, 173 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: we can't get discouraged. We just got to go take 174 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: you one step by the time and go get it it. 175 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: Just shine. I know the season was difficult for you 176 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: at times with the way things went, But I wondered, 177 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: now that you've gone through it, do you think that 178 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: going through the trials that you went through this year 179 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: will help you in the future and maybe taught you 180 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: some lessons you'll be able to use as you move 181 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: forward and try to get the team the first championship. 182 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: Of course, Yeah, every every good, bad, ugly experience is 183 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: definitely a learning lesson. That's how I've always lived at life. 184 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: So um, even if we went twelve and four this year, 185 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: and it would have been a great learning learning experience. 186 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: So you know, you take the bad and you turn 187 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: into positive and use that momentum to continue to improve 188 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: your game and me as a person, and learn from 189 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: different experiences that you know happened this year. He de sean, 190 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: what is different about you at the end of this 191 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: season that wasn't in previous years? And how will you 192 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: approach this offseason? And now there's no different from me? 193 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: I mean I've same person, same quarterback, same everything. I 194 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: guess men's off season of course, go harder than I 195 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: did last year. Um, and bring a lot more people 196 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: around with me whenever that time is UM, and just 197 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: kind of just going from there, continue to you know, 198 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: go to work is and and prove my prove myself 199 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: maybe I I mean more so as where you've grown, 200 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Like each year you've you know, you're you've learned more 201 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: about the game, You've got more comfortable. As you look 202 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: at where you sitting now in your NFL career, is 203 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: there anything that's different or that the place that you've 204 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: seen the most growth and you pink, Yeah, I would 205 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: say just me as a as a quarterback and just 206 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: me as a sergeant to me as a leader and 207 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: knowing who I am as as a player had definitely 208 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, grown us over the years and over the 209 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: especially this season, UM, and I just want to continue 210 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: to take my game to another level in regardss of 211 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: all the things going on.

De Sean. When the coach season is over, 215 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: the Texans playing to interview their defensive coordinator Matt Eber Flows. 216 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: You've played against him seven times. What do you think 217 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: about him as a coach and if you heard a 218 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: defensive head coach, would that help Tim keep the jobs 219 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: the play? Yeah. From what I've heard and played against, 220 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he's Matt's been. I mean he's been very, 221 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: very disciplined. I mean that's that's the type that you want. 222 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: You know, from the players and the scheme that I've 223 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: been playing against Indiapolis that they are about what they 224 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: do and they do it perfectly, and they they understand, 225 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: you know, different concepts and what they want to do 226 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: as a you know, Indiapolis Coast defense and that's why 227 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: they've been so successful. So Um, from what I've heard 228 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: too about him, he's been you know, he's a great 229 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: guy to play for. And um, of course, you know 230 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: he's a different symonded coach, and you know, I think 231 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: it helped him. But uh, you know, we'll see, it's 232 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: so much of the unknown, and so much of this 233 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: is the first time I've been through it, so it's 234 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: kind of hard to have, you know, a vision, you know, 235 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: without you know, any experience and any guidance with it. 236 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: You said before you want to make sure the team 237 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: resigns Fuller. Uh, considering how well you did with a 238 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: lot of receivers but not named Fuller or Randall Cob, 239 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: how much better do you think this offense could be 240 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: next he's earning if Will comes back all season? Oh yeah, 241 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: I mean it can be very very supposed to be 242 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: very scary. You know. Last night we put up, however 243 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: many yards of a four undred yards and thirty eight 244 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: points against the playoff team, you know, so and we 245 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: did it against the Coats twice, and we did it, 246 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, versus a lot of teams. So yeah, I mean, 247 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: the potential is there, and you know, hopefully we can 248 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: get them back. M I'm definitely gonna be on that, 249 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: you know, with the organization with him. I actually saw 250 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: him before I came came in today, and you know, 251 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: we sat and talked in the parking lot a little bit, 252 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: so you know, we all on the same page and 253 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: what we want to do, and hopefully we can get 254 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: them back with Cobb and you know, Brandon here and 255 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, get some other guys some other pieces that 256 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: can help us out and we can really take another step, 257 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: especially offensively. And Sean, you guys led the league and 258 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: passing on early downs this year. I'm just wondering what 259 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: what does that do for you as a quarterback in 260 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: terms of kind of the looks you get when when 261 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: you guys are passing more and early down versus and 262 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: more kind of conventional passing tramercial second or long or 263 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: third or long stuff like that. And I think the 264 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: biggest thing is defenses out of respected. I don't know 265 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: if you're gonna pass or run or or what the 266 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: situation is going to be. So you know, you can't 267 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: do the things that you want to want to do 268 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: in certain situations, you know, bringing pressure and things like that. 269 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: So you just gotta be aware and you know, stick 270 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: to the guns. How are you feeling here health wise 271 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the season. Took some sacks and 272 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: see you stay off the injury report of the entire year. 273 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: But just how are you feeling well? You need to 274 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: have anything addressed surgically at all, and the obviouslys are 275 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: you completely healthy and ready to get back to work 276 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: fairly soon? I'm healthy. I'm ready to get back to 277 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: work fromorrow. So I'm all good. Yeah, no, no, none 278 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: of that, none of that stuff. I'm healthy, ready to go, 279 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: and you're ready to get ready for twenty twenty one. Man, 280 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: cannot wait to see that guy back on the field 281 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one for your Houston Texans. All right. 282 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: We also had a chance to talk to Andre Ware 283 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine, hisman trophy and our good friend about 284 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: a number of things, and we'll hit those next on 285 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: Texans Laxis X. On Texans Laxis TG, I am I think, 286 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: thank god it's Monday. Yeah, I think, well it's the 287 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: last one either way, so it kind of feels like 288 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: a Friday in any sense. But welcome back. It's a 289 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: Monday edition of Texans All Access. I'm your host, John Harris, 290 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: football analyst and one small part of the Texans radio crew. 291 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: A great big part is our good friend Andre where 292 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: and Andre joined Mark and I to talk about any 293 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: number of things dealing with the Texans with college football. Well, 294 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: we were kind of all over the place this morning, 295 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: but that's kind of the three of us. That's what 296 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: happens when we get on the air together. But it 297 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: was a great conversation. And so here it is, Dre 298 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: ouch your thoughts of what you saw yesterday. Yeah, you know, 299 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: I just thought that, you know, once the game got 300 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: late into the fourth quarter, that the Texans would find 301 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: some way, somehow to get it into over time. And 302 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, they tie it up, but you know it 303 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: was I'm not sure why they were in the defense 304 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: they were in to put Crossing in that position against 305 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: a J. Brown. You've got eighteen seconds on the clock, 306 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: make make him earn it. And I guess in a 307 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: way he did earn it because it was a hell 308 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: of a throw and a hell of a catch. But 309 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: I still go back and when you look at the 310 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: game again, it's, you know that that defense with no 311 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: help over the top, that's a head scratcher, DREI the 312 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: game itself. I heard you two as I got in 313 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: the car. The very first thing you guys were talking 314 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: about was, and I know how Mart feels about this, 315 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: was Derreck Henry F. MVP and Aaron Rodger has been 316 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: great and Patrick Mahomes. It'll probably come unto those two. 317 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: But if you stress the ving valuable, I don't know 318 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: that there's a player other than Dereck Henry, maybe a 319 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: non quarterback throughout the league that you can point to 320 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: you and go man, that team without Derreck Henry, Why 321 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: is he so successful? And do you agree with that 322 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: that he should or could very well be the MVP 323 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: and that he is the most valuable non quarterback in 324 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: the league. Well, I think I think number one. I 325 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: agree with Mark that he is the most valuable player 326 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: uh in the league and UH and it's because of 327 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: what he means to his team. You can remove him 328 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: and Tennessee is, you know, an average team, maybe they 329 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: get to eight wins, who knows, But with him, they 330 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: are AFC South Divisional champions there who are gonna host 331 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: a playoff game at home. And you know it's it's 332 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: the physical traits. I think he's realized now what he 333 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: has and how to use it, almost how to pace 334 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: himself in games because he doesn't come out of games 335 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: and it's only third down situations and he's got a 336 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: bad receiver out of the backfield. They're just looking for 337 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: a little more pop on third downs. But he is 338 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: in every down back you know, he's in the game 339 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: three downs if you need him to be. He's not 340 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: looking at you know, like some of these guys that 341 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: just drives him. Me Dutch that's tapping out after a 342 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: twelve yard run so that they can have the spotlight 343 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: on him as they run to the sideline and then 344 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: try back onto the field. This is a guy that 345 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: gets dirty. His teammates respect him because of the way 346 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: he plays the game. And when you have that, they 347 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: play harder for you. And I know that may not 348 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: make sense to a lot of fans, but yes, there 349 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: is another level of which you can play for a 350 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: guy that you leave it all out there. And that's 351 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: what they do for Derrick Henry. The offensive line. They're 352 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: doing it with two offensive tackles out of the game, 353 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: Yet Derrick Henry still got to two thousand yards. That 354 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: tells me right there that how important he is to 355 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: his football team and is the league MVP. When you 356 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: go over two thousand, he needed two twenty three. Think 357 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: about Let to sit on you for a minute. He 358 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 1: needed two twenty three to get to two thousand yards 359 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: and he got there. I want to throw up. I 360 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: mean I do. That is just ridiculous. You and I 361 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: talking on the post coming into your house, coming into 362 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: your house. He needed and he got there right right. 363 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: And you know what they're gonna do. You know they're 364 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: going to hand off to him a lot now, them 365 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: doing that. The mere threat of him running is so 366 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: valuable to Ryan Tannehill, able to you know, fake to 367 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: give find open guys running himself right those rushing touchdowns 368 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: he has Drey. I think that offensively there is tough 369 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: to deal with as anybody in the league. Maybe, But 370 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: now they have the Ravens at their place, and I 371 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: know they beat him last year, but I got a 372 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: feeling Baltimore is a different kind of team right now. 373 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: I know they're different than they were even a few 374 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: weeks ago. They are on a roll right now, and 375 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a very interesting game. Both 376 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: offenses should have success. I think the Ravens have a 377 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: little bit more going into this weekend. What do you think? Yeah, 378 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: I agree with you. And they started the season on 379 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: a role. The Texans happened to catch him when they 380 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: got out of the gate fast there were very few 381 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: changes in Baltimore to start the season. So I felt 382 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: like teams that didn't make a lot of a lot 383 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: of changes in this COVID COVID base season that they 384 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: would have the advantage over a lot of other teams 385 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: who did make changes throughout the offseason. That was one 386 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: team that didn't. So you're looking at a you know, 387 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: they added Dobbins to that that collective group and then 388 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, let's go and it's easy 389 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: for a running back to really get himself going. So 390 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: with that being said, Lamar as they had a little 391 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: lull at the probably around midseason, and then all of 392 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: a sudden, how they've hit stride again. They've opened things 393 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: up for Lamar Jackson, and they're showing things that they 394 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: didn't show early in the season. They wanted to run 395 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: the football, they wanted to get Lamar out on the perimeter. 396 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: Well they're they're still doing those things, but they're also 397 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: allowing him to throw the football a little bit more 398 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: and they're having success in doing it. So that's a 399 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: that's a tough team to go face if you're Tennessee. 400 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: But here's something on Tannehill that we don't realize. I'm 401 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: not sure how many touchdown passes through yesterday because Derrick 402 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: Henry was all over my mind and I couldn't believe 403 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: what he was doing. But he came into that game 404 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: with thirty two touchdown passes. We could put to bed 405 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: that Ryan Tannehill is a journeyman quarterback. This that Neil 406 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: he is a franchise quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, and 407 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna be there for a while in this division 408 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: and we are going to have to deal with those 409 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: two for many many years to come. That's not fun. 410 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: But can I interest you in a stat? How about this? 411 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: I want stat that's bad, and then I'll give you 412 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: a good one. Derrick Henry this year ran for twenty 413 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: twenty seven yards. Twenty three percent of his entire rushing 414 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: total came against US. Twenty three percent of his rushing talk, 415 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: it's a quarter of the yards, Yes, against US. It's unbelievable. 416 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: Now I'll give you another stat, and I'm want to 417 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: get both y'all thoughts on this day. I start with you. 418 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: The leader in offensive yards per play this year at 419 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: six point four yards per play. The top team in 420 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: the league was the Houston Texans six point four yards 421 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: per play. The offense was first in the NFL in 422 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: six point four yards per play and finished four and twelve. 423 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: Over the last three games of the year, in which 424 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: the Texans finished oh in three, the offense averaged seven 425 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: point seven yards per play. Again, that was best in 426 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. And I would imagine if you asked that 427 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: of people around the league and said, Hey, where do 428 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: you think the offense? I think people would say the 429 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: offense was good, but first in the league in yards 430 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: per play the last three games and the entire season. 431 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: Dre When you hear that, what does that immediately make 432 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: you think? I was talking to Mark about this yesterday 433 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: and I asked him, how in the hell can you 434 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: lead the league in passing yards and finish four and twelve? 435 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: How is it possible? How can you have a player 436 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson and leave the league in passing yards 437 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: and finish the season four to twelve? How is that 438 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: even possible? Well tells me two things. Tells me one, 439 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: he's a hell of a player that I mean, a 440 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: generational player. That's what it tells me. At quarterback because 441 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: of what he has around him. I make ship off 442 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: the offensive line, and they're still able to put up 443 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight points yesterday. But it also tells me that 444 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: they trail in a lot of games and he's having 445 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: to throw. He has no running game to rely on, 446 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: and he's having to throw. Therefore, you're going to accumulate 447 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: a lot of passing yards. But I think it's more 448 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: of the ladder than it is him having to throw 449 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: a lot. He is one heck of a player and 450 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: he's you know, you look at it, no running game 451 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: or consistent running game for the majority of the season. 452 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: I think they got better after the first four games offensively, 453 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: so that really told them, Okay, here's our identity. Let's go. 454 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: This is what we are. Let's go do it. No 455 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: matter who it is, what receivers we have, what guys 456 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: that are out, what guys suspended, whatever it is. We 457 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: are a pass first offense. And that is fine. Once 458 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: you get to the point of accepting that, you just 459 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: have to get to a point and accept it and 460 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: move on from it. That's what they did. That's what 461 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: they did under Romeo Cornell and Kim Kelly, and so 462 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: yesterday you start to see some trickery, the fleet flicker, 463 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. It makes it fun to come 464 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: out and play and air it out and things of 465 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: that sort. And then when you get when you start 466 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: clicking the way they have been in the passing game 467 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: all of a sudden the last two weeks, David Johnson 468 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: doesn't look that bad, does he. They're able to move 469 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: the football on the ground over one hundred the week 470 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: before the prior week he caught eleven passes for over 471 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: one hundred yards, and then eighty four yards on the ground. Yes, today, 472 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: So you have to figure out what I did, what's 473 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: your identity offense? What can we do the best? And 474 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: they got to that point where number four is what 475 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: we do best throwing the football. Let's live and die 476 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: with that, and then the rest of it we hope 477 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: will come along with it. Yeah, and you said it, Drey. 478 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean they've had to come back in these games, 479 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: and they've lost at the buzzer almost in so many 480 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: of them. Eight of the twelve losses are by a 481 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: touchdown or less. He threw thirty three tds and it's 482 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: not like he's thrown early picks to put him in 483 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: a hole. He only has seven picks on the season, 484 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: forty eight hundred yards plus and he completed seventy percent 485 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: of his passes. I mean, even Tannehill with that running 486 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: game sixty five percent, which is a healthy number. But 487 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: Watson seventy percent and he leads the league in passing yards. 488 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And this is why this is so attractive. 489 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: Somebody has the privilege of coming here and coaching this 490 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: guy with this team. However, you put it together. You 491 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: have one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and 492 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: you see what you do from there. But dre clearly 493 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: this defense needs some work. And you get Robie back 494 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: next year. He's under contract. I think that's a good thing. 495 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 1: I mean, you need cornerback help, no doubt about it. 496 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: But they are definitely going to do some work on 497 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: that side of the football. They gave up way too much. 498 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: They have to. I mean they have to. Well you 499 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: just describe what we just talked about in terms of 500 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: the offensive side of the football and all the statistical 501 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: categories in which they lead, and what Deshaun has done, 502 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: and you know, bring someone in here that's going to 503 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: capitalize on him. Don't put him in the box, let 504 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: him beat Deshaun. You know, to have enough wherewithal to 505 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: come in sit down, watch from game one all the 506 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: way through game sixteen, and say hey, this is what 507 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: we need to allow him to be and and we're 508 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: going to go from there now. On the other side 509 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: of the ball, this is an overhaul. This is an 510 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: absolute overhaul on the defensive side of the football. I mean, 511 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: we're not defending the run. We're not worth a day 512 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: in play acts and pass. We can't cover up on 513 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: the back in when we need to. When the game 514 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: is on the line, we get hit for a fifty 515 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: plus yard pass paid pass play to set up a 516 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: winning field goal. We've got to blow this up and 517 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: start over. When not a player away. We're not two 518 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: players away off the defense, we are a defense away. 519 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Because you have a defense that generates 520 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: just nine turnovers, you can't stop the run. And that's 521 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: there in lies the question. And I think this is 522 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: the AJO question. This isn't just the Texans when it's okay, 523 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: Is it you don't have the players? Is it you 524 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: don't have the scheme? Is it you have the players 525 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: but they're not playing? Yeah, exactly. It's my point is 526 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: that could it? Is that? Is that what we're looking at? 527 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: Because over the last part of the year. You know, 528 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: Brandon dun PJ. Hall. You know, guys are playing a 529 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: lot of minutes for you. Minutes, they're playing a lot 530 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: of snaps for you. They they were out. I mean, 531 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: I just that's the thing I struggle with is do 532 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: you have some pieces coming back and Row being done 533 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: and you got to get a contract with PJ. Hall. 534 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: That's the thing I struggle with. But dared ask you this. 535 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: You've got the sixty seventh pick in the draft, you 536 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: have free agency. You guys talk about this, we all 537 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: talk about this. A lot rush and coverage, rush and coverage. 538 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: What would you attack first? Would you attack the defensive 539 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: front or would you attack adding to the secondary. You 540 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: have to attack the defensive front first, because it's the 541 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: way that they've lost games to Cincinnati, to other teams 542 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: that have dynamic running games that come into your build 543 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: or you go there however or wherever it's played, and 544 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: they're just able to run the football with consistency. When 545 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: that happens, everything works, Every single thing works. And you've 546 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys around the league are on 547 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: the schedule this year that are thrown for sixty five 548 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: plus completion percentages. So you mix that with a running game, 549 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: you can't stop anybody. I mean you, you absolutely can't. 550 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: And so you've got to be able to stop the 551 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: run first and then then from that you can get 552 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: after the pass. And now add some pass rushers to this, 553 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: and you know, can another coach come in and get 554 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: more out of the players that are on the roster 555 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: right now? Maybe absolutely that. You know, in a lot 556 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: of cases, somebody's going to be better because of the 557 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: coaching change. Somebody is going to be better because of 558 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: the environment change. Somebody is going to be better because 559 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: of the overall dynamic that is about to take place 560 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: up top at general manager and head coach. There's some 561 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: player or players that are going to benefit from that change. 562 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: And so who they are, I have no idea what 563 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: side of the ball they play on, I have no idea, 564 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: But that's going that's a guarantee to happen. So with that, 565 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: you continue to build, build from within inside out is 566 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: where is where the help is needed. Right away, Andre 567 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: Ware joining us. Andre So you're the general manager of 568 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I just anointed you. I just appointed you 569 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: to the position. I'm already negotiating, Okay, well, your compensation restive. 570 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: Who did your representative to get him on the phone 571 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: to come out? But we're already talking money, okay, So 572 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: Lett ask you this, who's the number one pick? Because 573 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: you did the national semifinal the other day and we 574 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: saw Trevor Lawrence and we saw Justin Fields. And I 575 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: don't know if the opinions have changed it all based 576 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: on one game. I know that there's gonna be a 577 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: lot of talk about this and from the outside looking in, 578 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts on that number one overall 579 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: pick for the Jaguars. I would just say that it's 580 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: it's easy to answer your question. It's Trevor Lawrence. And 581 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: here's here's here's what people don't realize and how hard 582 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: it is to call plays. And maybe some people don't 583 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,959 Speaker 1: even know this. Their offensive coordinator was hit with COVID 584 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID about a day before they were 585 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: getting ready to travel to go play that football game. 586 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: And so now you get in a game of that 587 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: magnitude and you don't have the play caller you've had 588 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: for X amount of games, and somebody else's called you 589 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: can give me the same plays and it's not the 590 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: same when it's a different guy calling it. You can 591 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: call it the same thing, the terminology is the same thing. 592 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: It's different because it's a different game and you're calling 593 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: it against a different defense. And that's the tough part. 594 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: That's what you really don't understand, is that, well, you 595 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: know this guy coming up the quarterback coaches calling the game. 596 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: He should know the plays. Yeah, he knows the plays, 597 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: but he's never called a game before. He hadn't, hadn't 598 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: had to do that all season. All that's a tough 599 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: thing to do. What's working for Trevor, what's working against 600 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: this defense? How do we adjust when Ohio State does 601 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: this to us defensively? And that's a lot to put 602 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: on a guy's play in in the spur of the moment. 603 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: And so I just think he's still the best player. Uh, 604 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: there's no doubt that he's going to Jacksonville. I would 605 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: be surprised if they entertain any other pick other than 606 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and to see him in this division. They 607 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: just got better, or they will get better after they pick. 608 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: That pick is official. So now you're looking at whatever 609 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: Indianapolis decides to do, because obviously they got better. They 610 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: made it to the playoffs, you got Tannehill to deal with, 611 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: and what's the other team and then Jacksonville. So it's 612 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. It's a tough division that's gonna 613 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: be loaded with quarterbacks. And this one has looked as 614 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: good as any that I've seen come along in a 615 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: very very long period of time. All Right, Trey, when 616 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: it pertains to you talked about the cults a little bit. 617 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is I don't know if we're watching the 618 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: Corps of Philip Rivers or were watching real Philip Rivers. 619 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: I have no idea what we're watching, but it feels 620 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: like we're definitely near the end. The Carson Wentz situation 621 00:31:54,520 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia is interesting, intriguing to say the least. Do 622 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: you think Carton Carson Wentz will be moved from Philadelphia 623 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: as tough financially as it could be? And secondly, I 624 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: don't know, A or B whatever you think Carson Wentz 625 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: ends up in Indianapolis, and if so, how does that 626 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: impact what the Colts do going forward? He seems to 627 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: be acting like he knows he's going to get moved, 628 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: and he's trying or acting as though he's trying to 629 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: do everything in his power to get himself moved. And 630 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: you know there's a relationship with Frank right, it seems 631 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: the logical place when you look at need for quarterback 632 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: or some stability at quarterback for years. So Philip Rivers 633 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: has got what a couple of seasons left? Are you 634 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: willing to roll the dice to bring in Carson Wentz 635 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: who doesn't seem like a good locker room guy? You know? 636 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: And that's the wrong position to have to question whether 637 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: he's a team player or is it all about me? 638 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: And if I don't get my way up going to 639 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,479 Speaker 1: pout that players thought and that stuff travels. So I 640 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: don't want to see him in the division. I don't 641 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: want to see Indianapolis get better. But who who's to 642 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: say they get better? Even if the trade is made. 643 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: It's a lot of the huge financial commitments for the 644 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: Colts to make on a player that they're scratching their 645 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: heads about. I don't know. And will there be a 646 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: quarterback that's attractive to them in the draft that they 647 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: feel like, well, we can build, we can go one 648 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: more year with Philip Rivers and then turn turn the 649 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: keys over to this young man. So not sure that 650 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: seems a logical place Johnny that that that he would 651 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: end up in though if there, if there is a 652 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: trade in some movement, Andre, what about the Longhorns this weekend? 653 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: I'm blown away. I mean, look, I know it's not 654 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: going well with Tom Herman, but the amount of money 655 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: we're talking about here, at some point you have to 656 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: just say enough is enough and and just go with it. 657 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: You backed up the brinks truck for him, and the 658 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: same people who wanted him so badly I think have 659 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: to step aside if you think that he's not a guy. 660 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, this is ridiculous. Well, who else 661 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: a leadership role could be could survive this kind of thing. 662 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: I'm surprised you and I and Johnny didn't get into 663 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: this conversation yesterday for a pre game. But um, I 664 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: was telling a buddy of mine the problem with Texas 665 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: is they have two sets of alans, and both sides 666 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: that two sides, two sets, two sets of boosters, and 667 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: both sides think they're equally as important as the other, 668 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: and so with one when seriously, when one wants something, 669 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: we want Herman to come back, you go announce it, 670 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: and they tell the athletic director of Chris del Conti 671 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,479 Speaker 1: to do that three weeks ago, and so it kicked 672 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: the other side off. No, that's not what we want, 673 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do this. This is what So that 674 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: the other side eventually went It's happened over and over. 675 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: It happened with Charlie Strong where he was supposed to 676 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: come back for another year, and then the other side 677 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: got ticked off. So there's a divide in the boosters 678 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: at UT that Sartesian and somebody after him, because there 679 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: will there will be in a short period of time 680 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: until those two can merge together. The only thing that 681 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: does it is winning. But until those two groups can 682 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,240 Speaker 1: merge together and for the better good of the Texas program, 683 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: I am on record as saying that is the best 684 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: job in all of football because of the resources, the location, 685 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: the weather, I mean, all of it, everything that's involved, 686 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: college pro whatever. In my mind, that's the best job 687 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: in college football. So even I couldn't blame Tom Herman 688 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: when he left the University of Houston to go to Texas. 689 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: That's on the record. I've said that before. But when 690 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: you have two groups that are splintered the way they are, 691 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: it doesn't make it an attractive job. And so you're 692 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: gonna have a guy that comes in for three years 693 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: and then one side gets its way and they're they're 694 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: able to get him out of the door, and then 695 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a guy that comes in for for you. 696 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: You've got to have a guy in place for a 697 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: minimum of five years. At that point, he has completely 698 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: gotten every player in the building that he has recruited. 699 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: And now you go from there. Texas never gets to 700 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: that spot because you got two feuding boosters, or two 701 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: sides to this whole booster thing that's always feuding with 702 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: one another. Maybe they should consider the head coach of 703 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Just kidding, kidding, Okay, he seemed to do 704 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: it the longest, that's for sure. He got him to 705 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: get along the longest. Yeah. Well he's a tremendous guy, 706 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: all right, Dre, thanks so much for being with us 707 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: and all the visits all season long, and soon enough 708 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: we'll be firing it back up for twenty twenty one. 709 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: Let's do it, man. Enjoyed it and love you guys. 710 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: Right after the game yesterday, as I was walking in 711 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: my car, as upset, frustrated, tired, exhausted, I just texted 712 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: both of them. I was like, love y'all boys, man, 713 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: I love those two guys, Mark Vanimir andre Ware.

All right, let's shut back in 734 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: with Mark and I talking to the General John McLean. John, 735 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: first of all, thoughts on yesterday's performance and maybe some 736 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: of the achievements, if you will, statistically anyway up to 737 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, Zach Cunningham, Brandon Cook's that kind of thing. Well, 738 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: first of all, you know, Zach Cunningham should have made 739 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: a lot of tackles. Considered how much people ran on them. 740 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: They were thirty thirty first in the NFL and run defense. 741 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise any of us because they were awful. 742 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: So I don't put much talk into anything that's been 743 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: done on defense because they were terrible, finished thirtieth. But 744 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: the offense, you know, I wonder what we saw with 745 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,919 Speaker 1: David Johnson after he came back. He had missed three 746 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: games because of a cocaussion one because he was on 747 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen reserve list, so he missed four games. 748 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: He ended up a saying one hundred ninety one yards rushing, 749 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: six touchdowns, thirty three catches and two touchdowns. What he'd 750 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: been able to do if he'd been playable to play 751 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 1: full season, so that was oppressive at the end of 752 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: the season. Cooks, of course, it was weird seeing a 753 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: Texans receiver have a thousand yards who wasn't named Johnson 754 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: or Hopkins. Never been done. None had ever had nine 755 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: hundred yards till Brandon Cooks. And people criticize Bill O'Brien 756 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: for a lot of trades, and he deserves it, but 757 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: giving up a low two for Brandon Cooks and he 758 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: became the second player in his street to half a 759 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,720 Speaker 1: thousand yards with four different teams. It was fifth thousand 760 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: yards season and he's still twenty seven. I thought it 761 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: was a tremendous trade, especially with everybody saying Alwa's got 762 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: concussion problems, he'll never last the season, and he missed 763 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: I think one game. And then Watson, of course, was phenomenal. 764 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: It's amazing that he was as phenomenal as he was 765 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: because the running game ended up thirty first, they were 766 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: fourth and passing, and you know, I'll be interested to 767 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: see when the new coach is hired, and this is 768 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 1: something will ask Watson. I'm sure he wants Tim Kelly 769 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: to stay and it was interesting last night they pulled 770 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: out those gadget plays and Mike Vrabels said, well, you 771 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,760 Speaker 1: know you have to be prepared for that. They coaches 772 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: cleaned out their lockers meeting the end of the season, 773 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: and you're not going anywhere. So we knew they were 774 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: gonna throw a lot of stuff at us, but we 775 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: weren't ready. And the takeaway I have from this game 776 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: two losses to the Titans, the division champions. She scored 777 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: thirty six and thirty eight, and you lose both games 778 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: on the last play. And then two losses to the 779 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: tight to the Colts, who also finished eleven five million playoffs, 780 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: and you get to the two yard line of both 781 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: teams in the final minute and you lose the game. 782 00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: So those teams know they were very fortunate to beat 783 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: the Texans, and that bodes well for what's in store 784 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: because they don't need much on the offense. It's a 785 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: running game, but man, they got to overhaul this defense. Yeah, John, 786 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 1: I want to stay with Brandon Cooks for a second. 787 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,479 Speaker 1: A press conference said they was kind of interesting. He's 788 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: got a contract situation that I don't think has any 789 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: more guaranteed money, and I think Romeo put it in 790 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: his press conference last night, started talking about how the 791 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: business of football starts today. Well, Brandon Cooks is one 792 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: of those guys. After a phenomenal season. How do you 793 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: see this thing playing out for Brandon Cooks with the Texans? 794 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: I think saying he's gonna be here? Yeah, but how 795 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: do you think contractually they extend him? How do you 796 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: think this works with Brandon Cooks going forward? Well, I 797 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: don't know why anybody even broke the question about that 798 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: he would about a trade. They were never going to 799 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: trade him. Why would they trade him? That's one of 800 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 1: the dumbest things I've ever heard, And of course they 801 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: weren't considering it. They don't even have will Fuller under contract. 802 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: Can you imagine doing that to Hopkins? I mean to Watson. Okay, 803 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 1: we trade Hopkins, Fuller against suspended, he's suspended for the 804 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: first game next season. He's not under contract, and we're 805 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna trade Cooks. That has never even crossed their mind. 806 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. That would be just I can't tell you 807 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: to anybody even think that the Texans thought of that. 808 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: They have not, and he will be back. I mean, 809 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: he's under contract, a favorable contract. John, I think that 810 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry should be the MVP of the NFL, and 811 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: I just want to quickly give you my argument for this. 812 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: Of all these playoff teams. Of course, if you take 813 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback off a playoff team, they're not going 814 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 1: to be as good. I've never mind, you know, Washington, 815 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: even them. But the point is this, there's no team 816 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: in the postseason where if you took away a non quarterback, 817 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: they're not making the playoffs. The Titans are the only one. 818 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: If they're the only team in the postseason field, if 819 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 1: you take away a non quarterback, they're not making it. 820 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is the reason in there here. I know 821 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: that Tannehill's playing well, but Henry is unbelievable. I think 822 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: he's the MVP of the NFL. Your thoughts, well, I 823 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers is going to be the MVP. When 824 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: Rodgers went against Henry, Henry didn't have a hundred yards, 825 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 1: which is hard to imagine for if you're a Texans 826 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: fan and the Packers way laid them. So I would 827 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: vote for Rogers, and I think Henry will end up 828 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 1: being third, well deserved when he had two thousand yards. 829 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of the voters paid attention to that. 830 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: But I think Rogers getting the home field advantage in 831 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: the NFC. My home's getting at the ANFC. Henry may 832 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: move past my halls. Because the Chiefs were struggling to 833 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 1: beat a lot of teams down to stretch. Could be 834 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: they were playing possum, they were bored. They'll crank it 835 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,280 Speaker 1: up when the playoffs come, but man Rogers was lighting 836 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 1: it up. And remember it the start of the season. 837 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: The injustice of it all that the Packers didn't get 838 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 1: him any receivers. Can you imagine how good he would 839 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: have been if they actually gotten him some receivers. What 840 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: he did with the backers kind of like what we 841 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: saw and we'll see with Deshaun Watson. Doesn't matter who 842 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: they have at receivers, He's gonna make him look good, 843 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. General, no doubt about that. He'd 844 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: make the three of us look good at receiver. I 845 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: think maybe sho would happens work cut out with the 846 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: three of us. All Right, we get back look back 847 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: the season Deshaun Watson had. As we replay his twenty 848 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: twenty next right here in Texas Access, we got one 849 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,479 Speaker 1: hour down a one hour left to go of all 850 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: Access for the twenty twenty season. On this wonderful Monday evening, 851 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris Football Hofs, a sideline reporter, 852 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: and it's time to start looking back, and we're gonna 853 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: do that. I usually do that with a show called 854 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: Texans Replay, but I figured, you know what, this is 855 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: probably the only time. Well it is the only time 856 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: because we won't be on the radio through the rest 857 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 1: of January. It was not a eight season. We all 858 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: know that, right, I mean we're all yeah. I mean, 859 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: anybody's happy with four and twelve. I mean they can 860 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 1: get bent, right. No, it was not a great season. However, 861 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: there was definitely some individual greatness and it really shown 862 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: itself through Number four Deshaun Watson. He was absolutely dynamic 863 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 1: and unbelievably explosive this year. Thirty three passing touchdowns. He 864 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 1: ran for over four hundred yards. I think his final 865 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 1: tally passing wise was in the forty eight hundred range. 866 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: He was just unbelievable this year, and I thought, you 867 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: know what, I have to look back at what the 868 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: man did in twenty twenty. Now, I would typically do 869 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 1: an alternate eleven with this sort of thing. I love doing. 870 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,880 Speaker 1: The ultra elevens is my way of saying basically, I 871 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 1: got a list and then I was like, I got 872 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: way more eleven So all right, well, which way do 873 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: you do it now? And I thought, man, let's just 874 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: do it. Let's do chronologically. How about we just do 875 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: it chronologically. I thought, Okay, that's good. That's good. So 876 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,439 Speaker 1: let's do chronologically, and let's start in week three because 877 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: weeks wanted two not very good. Week three Texans went 878 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh and in the first half to Shaun Watson 879 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: was absolutely brilliant. He had a rating of one fifty 880 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 1: point three. One of the main reasons for that were 881 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: the three touchdowns that he threw. The best one I 882 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: think was the fade route in the end zone to 883 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 1: Will Fuller, first down Texans with twenty eight seconds to 884 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 1: go in a half at the Steeler fourteen, Watson in 885 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 1: the gun cops slot left. Here's the snap, the Sean 886 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,959 Speaker 1: throwing the left side of the end zone. Watstler has 887 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: him touchdown Yoston and that Texans retake the lead. That 888 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: first half of football in Pittsburgh was as fun a 889 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 1: football game for thirty minutes that I can remember the 890 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 1: Texans playing boy, that was I mean wow. Back and 891 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: forth the Texans answering everything, the Steelers did, a couple 892 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: of stops by the d Sean Watson just pitching it 893 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: left and right, taking that lead on into the third quarter, 894 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 1: on it to the fourth quarter. That a league going 895 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter. A lot of people forget that, 896 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: but unable to hang on it was unfortunate. A couple 897 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: weeks later, the Texans took on the Jacksonville Jaguars, and 898 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: you wondered, all right, well, Bill O'Brien's been let go, 899 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: how will things change for this offense? Well, Tim Kelly 900 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 1: called this play and Deshaun Watson through an absolute laser 901 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,320 Speaker 1: shot the Darren Fells, who then took it in the 902 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 1: rest of the way for forty four yard touchdown. I'm 903 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 1: first down from the Jags forty four. Deshaun calls to 904 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: the ball, here's the snap, four man rush. Watson is 905 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: stand and throws elemental hits fouls across twenty five twenty 906 00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: fifteen ten five rook and roll touched down Houston forty 907 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 1: four yards to Darren Fells. But on this day there 908 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: was more. With the twenty three fourteen lead, late in 909 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: the game, the Texans four faced at fourth and four. 910 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: We've seen this before. The Texans this time didn't kick 911 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 1: a fuel. They decided to go for it and that 912 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 1: was a great call by Romeo Crenell. What followed was 913 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: an even better called by Tim Kelly, And what followed 914 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 1: was an even better play from Watson, who found Brandon 915 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: Cooks to seal the first win of the year against Jacksonville. 916 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 1: Fourth down and four at the Jacksonville twenty eight split backs. 917 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 1: Watson of the gun, two receivers left one of the 918 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: right side. Here's the snapped to the sham throws up 919 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,359 Speaker 1: in the middle, caught a man first half, Cooks left 920 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 1: side fifteen ten five, He's head touchdown Houston hot fourth down, 921 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: twenty eight yards. When win number one was a fun 922 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: one at home against the Jaguar Ares. So now the 923 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 1: Texans had some confidence at one and four and they 924 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,880 Speaker 1: went to Tennessee and laid it all out on the 925 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,760 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium turf in one of the top ten NFL 926 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 1: games of the year. This would be a fun debate two. 927 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 1: Just looking around in the the league. Now, I haven't seen 928 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,319 Speaker 1: every single game, but we've seen some games lately that 929 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: Baltimore Cleveland game on Monday night was unbelievable. I mean 930 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,919 Speaker 1: unbelievable watching him go back and forth, back and forth. 931 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,919 Speaker 1: That was incredible. There are a been a few games, 932 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: the Tennessee game Week six. I still I mean, I'm 933 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: still upset that the Texans didn't win that game. But man, 934 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: you talk about a football game, and one of the 935 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 1: main reasons the Texans we're in that game because Deshaun 936 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:48,240 Speaker 1: Watson was pitching it. Oh my goodness, he was on 937 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: one all day long. Then the second half was really 938 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 1: when the Texas needed it down to the Titans and 939 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 1: needing to make some plays. Justin Reid had blocked the 940 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: fuel goal earlier, and the Texans had the ball and 941 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 1: they were driving and they got down near the end zone. 942 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: I think it was a third down play and DeShawn 943 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: had to scramble and as I looked at the receiver's 944 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: available up, man, nobody's open. Oh my god, what he 945 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: is he gonna do? Well, this is what he did. 946 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: Third and goal at the four, Watson and the guns 947 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson in the backfield with him, Cook's short side left. 948 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 1: DeShawn gets to snap. Looking DeShawn scrambling out to the 949 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 1: right side and he throws right sideline of the end 950 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:36,479 Speaker 1: zone and cop has that touchdown. The Texans take the lead. 951 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: That building got awfully quiet, more than usual because they 952 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,359 Speaker 1: had a limited crowd. But you know what I mean, 953 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 1: they could not believe what they just saw. Well, a 954 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: little while later, as they got into the fourth quarter, 955 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that I could believe what I just saw. 956 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 1: Derek Henry going ninety four yards for a touchdown, and 957 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 1: again the Tennessee Titans took the lead. But then DeShawn 958 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: got the ball and in two plays he hit. In 959 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,760 Speaker 1: one play he hits Pararell Brown for a big game 960 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 1: and then from fifty three yards out. The Titans looked 961 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,919 Speaker 1: like they blew a coverage and the Shawn was able 962 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: to exploit it deep to his guy Will Fuller, first down, 963 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,400 Speaker 1: Texans out there forty seven. Watson of the gun with 964 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: Johnson to his right. Everybody bunched in tight here and 965 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: Watson fakes again and he airs an out long, deep 966 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: wide open his Fuller rock and roll touchdown Joston. The 967 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 1: Texans tie it up and can take the lead for 968 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 1: the next strap point. The Texans did take a lead, 969 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,800 Speaker 1: they would score late and then you know, the rest 970 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: missed the two point conversion, Tennessee went down, scored a touchdown, 971 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: won the coin flip, The Shawn never saw the ball again, 972 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: and the Titans won that won forty two to thirty 973 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: six in what's got to be one of the top 974 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: ten games of the year. I mean, it's been a 975 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: year full of tremendous football games, like I said in 976 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: the NFL, but that one's got to be a top 977 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 1: five or that was just an incredible game. Tannehill, Derek Henry, 978 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson just blobbing Haymakers at one another throughout that game. 979 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: And as unfortunately Texans, we were unable to come up 980 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: with that one. And I think that bled into the 981 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 1: next week at at home against green Bay. Lost that one, 982 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: went into the bye week one in six struggles, no doubt. 983 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 1: But after the bye week we went down to Jacksonville 984 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: and take on the Jake Luton led Jacksonville Jaguars one 985 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, after the Shawn had really done 986 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 1: a nice job of setting things up throughout the game, 987 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 1: the Shawn stood in the shotgun, looked things over and 988 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: as I looked over, I saw the play clock it 989 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,839 Speaker 1: hit zero and I thought, oh no, what's going on. 990 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 1: I thought something had been messed up at the play clock, 991 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 1: like it should have been a reset. But I looked 992 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 1: up at the clock and I saw zero, and then 993 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: I counted one thousand and two, and by about thousand 994 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,240 Speaker 1: and three, the Shawn finally snapped the ball. The refs 995 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 1: never saw it, and the Jaguars were unable to see 996 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: will Fuller down the field. Now C. J. Henderson was 997 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: in decent coverage, but the Shawn laid a beautiful throw 998 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,319 Speaker 1: down the sidelines and will Fuller did the rest to 999 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: give the Texans to lead. They would not relinquish Watson 1000 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,720 Speaker 1: and the gun Johnson in the backfield with them, everybody 1001 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 1: bunched in fairly tight. Fuller short side right, I'm third 1002 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 1: and six from the Houston twenty three. Here's the snap, 1003 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,400 Speaker 1: here's the throw to Fuller, and he's got it at 1004 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 1: the fifty Fuller on there on forty thirty, twenty ten 1005 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: five touchdown, Will Fuller. Those two have certainly hooked up 1006 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,959 Speaker 1: for a number of touchdowns, and that would help them 1007 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 1: win a twenty seven to twenty five nail bier with 1008 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and give them some momentum the next week. Unfortunately 1009 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: Cleveland squelts that momentum in whether that had to be 1010 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: seen or felt to be believed. But coming back home, 1011 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots will wait. They were coming in one, 1012 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 1: two in a row. Looked like maybe the Patriots were 1013 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 1: turning the corner. But the roof was opened on a 1014 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,920 Speaker 1: beautiful day and DeShawn Watson went to work and he 1015 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 1: found his guy, Brandon Cooks early in this one second 1016 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,800 Speaker 1: and six Watson with the empty backfield. Here's the snap 1017 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 1: from Martin Watson looking firing Tamfield kind a man, Brandon 1018 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 1: Cooks across the forty left side thirty five thirty and 1019 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,320 Speaker 1: at the twenty five yard line. Kilmore with the tackle. 1020 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: Big pass play to Brandon Cooks off the arm up 1021 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 1: to Shawn Watson forty four yards. That was a laser shot. Again. 1022 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 1: I mean the number of throws that Deshaun has made 1023 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 1: this year where he is just zipped throws into spots 1024 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,839 Speaker 1: that didn't even look like there was a spot had 1025 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: been unbelievable. But we always like when Deshaun starts to 1026 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: scramble because crazy and wild things happened, and typically good 1027 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: things happen. Well down at the four yard line to 1028 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 1: Shaun went back to pass against the Patriots in the 1029 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,400 Speaker 1: second quarter. He decided to do the work himself and 1030 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,640 Speaker 1: he met Devin mccordy in the end zone. Second and goal, 1031 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,840 Speaker 1: inside the five, Duke Johnson to the backfield with Deshaun 1032 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 1: who takes to snap three man rush Watson looking thumping, 1033 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 1: escaping up the metal to Sean going for the end zone, 1034 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: taking people with him. Acrosst goal lod touchdown, Deshaun Watson 1035 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 1: and the Texans take the lead. That left two fifty 1036 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: four on the clock and you thought, well, the Patriots 1037 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,240 Speaker 1: will drive down, maybe get some points, but the Texas 1038 00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: got three and out so they were able to get 1039 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 1: the ball back. DeShawn moved them on down and they 1040 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: got within scoring range. This time DeShawn would not do 1041 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: with his legs but with his arm, and he found 1042 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,520 Speaker 1: his guy Kiki Qt for a huge end of the 1043 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 1: half touchdown on second and goal. Here's Deshan back to pass, 1044 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 1: Watson looking, stepping to the right, throwing to the end zone, 1045 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 1: clock touchdown, and there it is Kiki QT with the 1046 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: TV reception six yard touchdown pass as the Texans after 1047 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 1: their lead. Love it, absolutely love it. The Texans locked 1048 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,320 Speaker 1: up this win against New England as the Hill Mary 1049 00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 1: was batted down at the end of the game, or 1050 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 1: actually I should say Ryanizzo caught it, but the defense 1051 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 1: stopped him. But either way, walking out of then RG 1052 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,839 Speaker 1: Stadium that day with a twenty seven to twenty win 1053 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 1: was awesome because a trip to Detroit on Thanksgiving was 1054 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 1: coming very very soon, and Deshaun was not deterred at all. 1055 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 1: Detroit took a lead, then JJ Watt made a huge play. 1056 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 1: You'll hear that one next week, I would imagine, And 1057 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:43,560 Speaker 1: then the DeShawn Watson show began. And it started with 1058 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,360 Speaker 1: a throat to Duke first and twenty at the Detroit 1059 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 1: thirty three yard line. Deshaun looks it over Detroit showing blitz. 1060 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 1: Here's the snap, Watson firing deep down the left side 1061 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 1: and got him man, Duke, He's in rock and roll. Touchdown, Houston. 1062 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 1: You want to talk about a dime, That was a dime, 1063 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 1: my goodness. But Shawn was not done dealon dimes. He 1064 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 1: had won a little bit later to Will Fuller in 1065 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: the same end zone, nearly the same spot. The lines 1066 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: decided to play man to man coverage and Fuller roasted him. 1067 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: Into Seawn just dropped it right in the bucket for 1068 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,200 Speaker 1: another touchdown. First down in fifteen four. The Texans, after 1069 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 1: Detroit forty yard line, wanted at the gun. Here's the snap, 1070 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 1: Sean firing deep and he's got a man well Fuller 1071 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 1: touchdown Koston Watson deep too well. And that combination was 1072 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: going to show up yet again in the fourth quarter, 1073 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: but probably not quite the way any of us expected, 1074 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: including me, who you can hear in the background. My 1075 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: mic was left open, so you can hear exactly what 1076 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And then well, I started laughing because I 1077 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 1: had not seen the Texans do something like this, and 1078 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson finished it with the throat of Will Fuller. 1079 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 1: First down at the Detroit thirty four, a handoff to 1080 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: Duke running to the right and he's gonna throw it 1081 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 1: back to the Shawn looking and firing left side, and 1082 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: Fuller walks across the ten five and jumps into the 1083 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 1: end zone. Touchdown, Houston. And you want some creativity there, 1084 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, you could hear me laughing in the 1085 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: background because I wasn't totally sure that I saw what 1086 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 1: I saw. I guess is that the railway saying it 1087 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 1: it was unreal and fantastic if you want the gods 1088 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 1: on his truth. Well, the Texans came back home to 1089 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 1: take on the Indianapolis Colts in a game that went 1090 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: just back and forth in the first half, and in 1091 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 1: a large part because the Shawan was escaping and making 1092 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,480 Speaker 1: plays like this third down at eight from the Houston 1093 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 1: twenty seven. Here's the snap Watson as time, Watson pumping 1094 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 1: try to escape to the last side, squares up, throws 1095 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 1: and it's clawed across the forty six I d Hanson 1096 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,040 Speaker 1: cutting right forty five and down at the forty four 1097 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 1: yard lot of Indie one an improv play back to 1098 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson and Chad Hanson. Yeah, ye had Watson to 1099 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 1: Hanson five times in the Colts game from the beginning 1100 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 1: of the year. And that's a bet you cast in. Well, 1101 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 1: you could have turned that thing in and made some 1102 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 1: money after the Colts game. Now, the Texans obviously would 1103 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 1: lose a heartbreaking game to the Colts and would lose 1104 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 1: to the Bears, which you know what, shump through touchdown 1105 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: passing that game. So let's celebrate it. The one to 1106 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 1: kick qt you heard earlier, first to go with the 1107 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 1: five to Sean takes the snap, stepping right, pumping stepping left, 1108 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,520 Speaker 1: Watson folks front of the end zone. It's caught touchdown. 1109 00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: Kiki QT Watson improvised and fat QT for six. As 1110 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 1: the Texans get on the board to say that Shaun 1111 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 1: Watson has been absolutely phenomenal this year is maybe the 1112 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 1: understatement of the year. Now, there is one mark, or 1113 00:59:55,760 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: should I say, there was one mark that seemingly was 1114 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:05,240 Speaker 1: as hallowed as any in the Texans universe. And I 1115 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: go back to the very first day that I came 1116 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 1: over to do radio with Mark Vandermer, and somehow this 1117 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:16,000 Speaker 1: got brought up. Thirty touchdowns. No quarterback had ever thrown 1118 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns in a season for your Texans until well 1119 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:28,320 Speaker 1: last Sunday, the Shawn Watson found Darren Fells to get 1120 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:32,000 Speaker 1: magical number thirty second and ten Texans at the Bengals 1121 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,600 Speaker 1: twenty two Watson empty backfield. The Shawn gets to snap 1122 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 1: four man rush. Watson, with the pocket collapsing, escapes out 1123 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 1: to the right side, throws short Fells, ten Fells to 1124 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: the five. Fells take it people with him trying to 1125 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 1: get to the goal line, and Fells in powers his 1126 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: way in the Texans goal in front. I'll never forget 1127 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: that moment because Mark and I had talked about that 1128 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 1: thing for seven years and it finally happened. And yes, 1129 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,920 Speaker 1: the Texans to take the lead, and that was important. 1130 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 1: But it was number thirty and I kept saying it 1131 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 1: in his ear, number thirty. I was number thirty. I 1132 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 1: was really excited. I think Mark was two, but he 1133 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 1: kind of had to focus on the game in hand. 1134 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: He eventually got around to it as well he should have. 1135 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 1: So Deshawn's been unbelievable through another three touchdowns against the 1136 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 1: Tidans in week seventeen, and what a year it was 1137 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: for number four. Now, it was also a great year 1138 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 1: for the Texans and some respects. We'll look back at 1139 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: the plays of twenty twenty next right here in Texans 1140 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:38,160 Speaker 1: Access ys YS.

Yes, 1154 01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,240 Speaker 1: I know it's four and twelve, but yet there were 1155 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 1: still some pretty awesome plays and stuff happening in twenty twenty, 1156 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: and I figured, why not do it now? So we're 1157 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna do it. One thing you'll not hear in this 1158 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: is any J. J. Watt plays because I'm saving them 1159 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 1: for the next segment. But still was able to kind 1160 01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 1: of cobble together plenty of moments this season that you'll 1161 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 1: look back on and go, Man, now when you hear 1162 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 1: some of these, you'll be like, God, they could have 1163 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,439 Speaker 1: just won that game where they could have just done this. Yeah, 1164 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 1: I did a lot of that as I was going 1165 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 1: through this particular exercise. If you will. Tough season, no question, 1166 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 1: but man, a lot of great stuff, ain't. The first 1167 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: play of our segment is actually the first touchdown in 1168 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: the NFL in twenty twenty, and it came courtesy of 1169 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 1: David Johnson against the Kansas Chiefs. Second down and one 1170 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 1: for the Texans at the nineteen yard line of Kansas 1171 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 1: City had off Johnson right side fifteen, breaking a tackle, 1172 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 1: ten to the five to the pylon. He's in touchdown. 1173 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: David Johnson, Welcome to the Texans. You know, it's funny 1174 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,280 Speaker 1: each opener of the season, no matter how it's gone, 1175 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 1: I can look back and remember a lot about it. 1176 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember even twenty fifteen when we played 1177 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We did not have a good afternoon that afternoon, 1178 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 1: that opener, but I remember a lot about it. I 1179 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 1: remember twenty seventeen when we had the game against the 1180 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Jags and Hurricane Harry had hit about ten days prior. 1181 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 1: I remember a lot. I don't remember much about that 1182 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 1: o'ber against the Chiefs. I do remember that run. That 1183 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,000 Speaker 1: was one of my worst nights professionally, I can remember 1184 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 1: ever having watching us get me by the Chiefs. Everything 1185 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 1: I had going on either way, you don't want to 1186 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:16,439 Speaker 1: hear about those problems, so let's move on, and let's 1187 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,200 Speaker 1: move on to Pittsburgh in Week three. It ended up 1188 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 1: being a loss in the first half. Man, the Texans 1189 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 1: put together as good at half of football as I 1190 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 1: can remember, and they got the ball late in the 1191 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 1: first half and started on a drive and it culminated 1192 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,480 Speaker 1: with a Deshaun Watson to Will Fuller touchdown. Fuller making 1193 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,439 Speaker 1: a great catch in the back of the end zone, 1194 01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,360 Speaker 1: first down Texans with twenty eight seconds to go in 1195 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,800 Speaker 1: the half at the Steeler fourteen. Watson in the gun 1196 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 1: Cobs slot left. Here's the snap the Sean throwing left 1197 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 1: side of the end zone. Watstoller has him touchdown Yuston 1198 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,840 Speaker 1: and that Texans retake the lead. No, I'm kind of 1199 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,000 Speaker 1: all over the place. And here's why I say that. 1200 01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: When I heard that Fuller touchdown again, I remember thinking, man, 1201 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,840 Speaker 1: there were no fans in the stands, And then I thought, man, 1202 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,640 Speaker 1: if he had fans in the stands, what would have 1203 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 1: been some of the louder moments of the season. And 1204 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,240 Speaker 1: one I know for a fact came against the Indianapolis 1205 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 1: Colts at home, as the Colts faced a fourth and 1206 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,120 Speaker 1: about two feet against the Texans in a key moment 1207 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 1: with it twenty four to twenty and the defense came 1208 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 1: up with a huge stop. The crowd would have gone 1209 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 1: ballistic had this happened, and they were in the building 1210 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,760 Speaker 1: within one at the five Rivers hands off the high 1211 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: that they got him. Adams can't throw with the stop 1212 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 1: on fourth down, the Texans have it. No, you can hear. 1213 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 1: We did have fans in the stands on that one, 1214 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 1: but that building would have been shaking with a full 1215 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 1: house at an Arch Stadium. And another one I know 1216 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 1: the fans would have absolutely loved was when Deshaun Watson 1217 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: went back to pass against the New England Patriots and 1218 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,600 Speaker 1: then well he didn't really throw it. This happened second 1219 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 1: of goal inside the Duke John to the backfield with 1220 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 1: DeShawn who takes the snap. Three man rush, Watson looking toping, 1221 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,439 Speaker 1: escaping up the metal to Shaan going for the end zone, 1222 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 1: taking people with him across the gold one touchdown, DeShawn 1223 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,600 Speaker 1: Watson and the Texans take the league without south end zone. 1224 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 1: Sawesome exciting stuff this year, both good and bad if 1225 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 1: I were to put it that way, But man, that 1226 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,680 Speaker 1: was one heck of a play there by the Shawn 1227 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 1: Watson taking on Devin mccordy and essentially saying, you know what, Patriots, 1228 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 1: We're not scared of you any more at all. Now, 1229 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 1: one of the moments that that South End Zone happened 1230 01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 1: to see just recently happened on Sunday, And this goes 1231 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of a story which I'm sure shocks 1232 01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 1: you not really, My very first day with the Texas 1233 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: was in twenty fourteen. I remember it distinctly. I had 1234 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: told Mark earlier that week that as he offered it 1235 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 1: to me, and I said, yes, I would love to 1236 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 1: come join the Texans. He said, okay, cool, why don't 1237 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,680 Speaker 1: you come up. We'll do some radio and so we 1238 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 1: did a couple of segments of All Access that day 1239 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: as I was joining the team. And so in that discussion, 1240 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,480 Speaker 1: we start talking about with the Texas a new quarterback, 1241 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: and we talked about how match Shop had thrown for 1242 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 1: twenty nine touchdowns and that was the record. We had 1243 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,440 Speaker 1: never had a quarterback throw for thirty touchdowns in a 1244 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,959 Speaker 1: year until this year in thirty. Number thirty didn't come 1245 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: until Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, and then it turned 1246 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 1: into one of the plays of the season as the 1247 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson scrambled away and found Darren Fells. Then the 1248 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 1: fun began. Four number thirty, second to ten Texans at 1249 01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 1: the Bengals twenty two Watson empty backfield. The Shan gets 1250 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 1: to snap four man rush. Watson with the pocket collapsing, 1251 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: escapes out to the right side, throws short Fells, ten 1252 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,360 Speaker 1: Fells to the five, Fells take it people with him 1253 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: trying to get to the goal line, and Fells in 1254 01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:57,919 Speaker 1: powers his way in the Texans goal in front has 1255 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: Fells scores. I just started screaming into Mark's ear number thirty, 1256 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,680 Speaker 1: number thirty. I was so excited because we've been talking 1257 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: about that since my very first day as a Texan, 1258 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:12,120 Speaker 1: and it was really cool to see number thirty. Unfortunately, 1259 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,919 Speaker 1: it came in and loss to Cincinnati, but he was tough, 1260 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 1: but wins hard to come by. But a win in 1261 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 1: Week five against the Jacksonville Jaguars was absolutely huge, and 1262 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,760 Speaker 1: it came about in a number of different plays, and 1263 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,160 Speaker 1: one of them came on defense. On a fourth and 1264 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 1: one play. As the Jags try to get back in 1265 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 1: the ball game and put some points on the board, 1266 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,639 Speaker 1: eskewed a field goal, decided to go for it. Fourth 1267 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,800 Speaker 1: and one Jaguars up there. Houston eight Minshew motions out 1268 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: to the left side. It's gonna be a wildcat to Robinson, 1269 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,759 Speaker 1: trying to find some room he might throw it. Adam 1270 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,680 Speaker 1: says there to make the stop and the humble us 1271 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,640 Speaker 1: out in. The Texans have it. J J. Watt. The 1272 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,800 Speaker 1: Texans have the rock at that ten yard line. They 1273 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 1: turned back that Jars on fourth and one and hold 1274 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,599 Speaker 1: on to the lead. Okay, I didn't mean a lot 1275 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,639 Speaker 1: of you. J. J. Watt does show up in that highlight, 1276 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 1: but really it's more about getting the fourth down stop 1277 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 1: more than it was the fumble recovery. But the Jaguars 1278 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,599 Speaker 1: going wildcat, I mean, I'll take it, Don't get me wrong, 1279 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:22,799 Speaker 1: I will take it now. Jacksonville also struggled in that game, 1280 01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 1: trying to block Jacob Martin, and he came through a 1281 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 1: huge strip sack that the Texans would recover, then fumble, 1282 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 1: and then recover again. It was sort of like the 1283 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 1: Texans season, kind of all over the place, a little 1284 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,400 Speaker 1: bit of good, a little bit of bad. In the 1285 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 1: internet it being good. But Jacob Martin getting the strip 1286 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,599 Speaker 1: sack against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Man would hit he put 1287 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,800 Speaker 1: on Minshew. Third down and fifteen from the Jacksonville forty 1288 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 1: two yard line. Minshew with the gun with three receivers 1289 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,799 Speaker 1: left one of the right side that Seifert won back Tompson. 1290 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,519 Speaker 1: Here's the snap, Minshew stepping up, Here comes Martin. The 1291 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 1: ball is out the Texans Avid and Merciless fumbles. It's 1292 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: hill Louise Adams might have it as the Texans are 1293 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 1: piling on at the thirty four yard line of Jacksonville. 1294 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 1: The Texans would go on and win this game against 1295 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, and two huge offensive plays that played 1296 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: a role in this one. One happened in the first half. 1297 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 1: Was it Darren Fells forty four yard touchdown catch and 1298 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 1: it was the first touchdown the Texans had scored without 1299 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien on the sidelines. And it was a wonderful 1300 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 1: play call by Tim Kelly. We got to hear that now. 1301 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 1: Darren Fells rumbling into the end zone on a beautiful 1302 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,160 Speaker 1: play call by Tim. I'm first down from the Jacks 1303 01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,840 Speaker 1: forty four Dashaun calls to the ball. Here's the snap. 1304 01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 1: Four man rush Watson stan Zann throws over themental hits 1305 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,479 Speaker 1: fowls across the twenty five twenty fifteen ten five rock 1306 01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:50,639 Speaker 1: and roll touchdown Houston forty four yards to Darren Fells. 1307 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 1: One of the things that we realized in this game 1308 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 1: as the Texans were owen four was Romeo Cornell wasn't scared. 1309 01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,599 Speaker 1: He could have kicked the field goal on a late 1310 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 1: four down play in the fourth quarter to put the 1311 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:08,200 Speaker 1: Texans a little further in front of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 1312 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,680 Speaker 1: He did not decide to do that. He wanted to 1313 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,760 Speaker 1: put the Jaguars away, and he did more than just 1314 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:18,719 Speaker 1: get the first down. The Shawn Watson found Brandon Cooks, 1315 01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 1: and Cooks he made a huge play after the week 1316 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 1: before having no catches against the Vikings, Brandon Cooks got 1317 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,000 Speaker 1: in the end zone here against Jacksonville, a big win. 1318 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 1: Fourth down and four at the Jacksonville twenty eight split backs. 1319 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,400 Speaker 1: Watson of the gun, two receivers left, one of the 1320 01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: right side. Here's the snap that the Seaun throws off 1321 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,160 Speaker 1: the bed. All got a man first half, Cooks left side, 1322 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:46,000 Speaker 1: fifteen ten five. He's head touchdown Houston on fourth down 1323 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,600 Speaker 1: twenty eight yards. I'm not really sure that the Jacksonville 1324 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Jaguars like seeing Brandon Cooks because in Week nine, after 1325 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,720 Speaker 1: the bye, while the Jaguars started off the game on 1326 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,720 Speaker 1: a third play, hitting DJ Chark on a bomb for 1327 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,439 Speaker 1: a touchdown to give him the seven nothing seven lead. 1328 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 1: Then the Texans did something they didn't do all year 1329 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:08,040 Speaker 1: long that I can remember. After this. They scored a 1330 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,880 Speaker 1: touchdown on the first drive, and they did it by 1331 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 1: throwing a little swing pass out to Brandon Cooks empty backfield. 1332 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 1: First half of the forty three off Houston, quick throw 1333 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,680 Speaker 1: left side. Cooks has the first Adam Or up the sideline. 1334 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,879 Speaker 1: Cooks off to the race says thirty twenty five twenty 1335 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:29,679 Speaker 1: fifteen ten five rock and roll touchdown Houston fifty seven yards. Now, 1336 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:33,920 Speaker 1: that was a short throw, long run. I kind of 1337 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,720 Speaker 1: liked the long throw, long run sort of thing that 1338 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,400 Speaker 1: the Texans did. Later in the game, the Texans led 1339 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and I believe it was third down. I 1340 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,599 Speaker 1: could be wrong with that, but I remember thinking then 1341 01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:48,240 Speaker 1: that Texas had been at the line of scrimmage for 1342 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,960 Speaker 1: a while, and in Jacksonville, the play clock is hard 1343 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,919 Speaker 1: to find. It's really small, and it's right underneath the scoreboard, 1344 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 1: so sometimes it's hard to find. And so I was 1345 01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,799 Speaker 1: looking for it in the first half and I was like, okay, 1346 01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:01,680 Speaker 1: found it, made a note of it. It It was like, man, 1347 01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 1: it's really small on that play. I remember I turned 1348 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 1: to look at the one on my side because it 1349 01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,479 Speaker 1: was away from the sun. I looked. I was like, 1350 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,720 Speaker 1: oh boy, that's at zero. Man, something's weird about this 1351 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 1: whole play. Well, then I account like one, two, three, 1352 01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:19,840 Speaker 1: and then the ball was snapped. I thought, this place 1353 01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 1: coming back. I looked there was no flag and thank 1354 01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 1: god because DeShawn Watson floated one down the field and 1355 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,760 Speaker 1: will Fuller caught it and then outraced everyone seventy seven 1356 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 1: yards to the end zone. Watson at the gun, Johnson 1357 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,400 Speaker 1: at the backfield with him. Everybody bunched in fairly tight. 1358 01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 1: Fuller short side right. I'm third and six from the 1359 01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,560 Speaker 1: Houston twenty three. Here's the snap, here's the throw the 1360 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 1: Fuller and he's got it at the fifty. Fuller on 1361 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:49,000 Speaker 1: the run. Forty thirty twenty ten five touchdown. Will Fuller. Yes, 1362 01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 1: it was a two point win, but this year, I'll 1363 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 1: take a win any way you can get it. And 1364 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,800 Speaker 1: these divisional games on the road this year, we played 1365 01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 1: three of them. Jackson was a two pointer. The Indianapolis 1366 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,479 Speaker 1: Colts game was a fumbled the two yard line, and 1367 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,400 Speaker 1: the Tennessee game may have been one of the better 1368 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:08,120 Speaker 1: games in the NFL this year. It was phenomenal. Now 1369 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna pay in comparison to Brown's v. Ravens on 1370 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,400 Speaker 1: Monday Night. That was an incredible game and obviously everybody 1371 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 1: saw it. But this game Texans Titans was a back 1372 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: and forth in the second half affair, especially in the 1373 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:25,840 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and the Texans landed a haymaker that put 1374 01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 1: them in the lead with this touchdown catch by Will Fuller, 1375 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 1: first down Texans at their forty seven Watson of the 1376 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,679 Speaker 1: gun with Johnson to his right. Everybody bunched in tight 1377 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,200 Speaker 1: here and Watson fakes to give and he airs an 1378 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 1: out long Fuller rock and roll touchdown Houston. The Texans 1379 01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,400 Speaker 1: tie it up and could take the lead with the 1380 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:52,200 Speaker 1: nextra point. The Texans took that lead, and then very 1381 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:56,600 Speaker 1: shortly thereafter, the defense came up big with maybe the 1382 01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:01,000 Speaker 1: best defensive play individually anyways of the year right here 1383 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,680 Speaker 1: by Bradley Roby. Here are the Titans first half at 1384 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:07,160 Speaker 1: their twenty five. Tannehill under center for Syrup motions to 1385 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:11,679 Speaker 1: the right side. Tannehill fakes the GiB, steps up, fires 1386 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 1: deep gaff field and intercepted by Bradley Roby at the 1387 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: thirty yard line. Roby comes down with it and tete 1388 01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:23,920 Speaker 1: for Raymond. The Texas drove down, scored a touchdown on 1389 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 1: fourth down, mind you, then went for two and after 1390 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,040 Speaker 1: that it's all a blurred. They didn't get the two pointer. 1391 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Then the Titans drove down and scored late in the 1392 01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,639 Speaker 1: game to tie it, and then the Shawan never got 1393 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:40,760 Speaker 1: the ball back, and then Henry scored, and it's a blur. Now, 1394 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,760 Speaker 1: that was a horrible loss. But the best win of 1395 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,639 Speaker 1: the year came against New England Patriots, There's no doubt. 1396 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 1: And there were so many great moments in that game. 1397 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:50,519 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the biggest moment is just to 1398 01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: Seawan and how great he was that day. But one 1399 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:54,600 Speaker 1: of the other things that stood out to me in 1400 01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 1: that game was the re emergence of Kiki Qt and 1401 01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 1: it happened really right before the half in a key 1402 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,800 Speaker 1: moment to give the Texans a twenty one lead. On 1403 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: second and goal. Here's Deshaun back to pass Watson looking 1404 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 1: stepping to the right, throwing to the end cell clock touchdown. 1405 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 1: He there it is Kiki Qt with that TV reception 1406 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:21,240 Speaker 1: six yard touchdown pass as the Texans after their lead. 1407 01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,800 Speaker 1: Love it, absolutely love it. The roof was open, the 1408 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: sun was shining. The Texans meat the Patriots, and that 1409 01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 1: I think was the best win at home. The best 1410 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,680 Speaker 1: one on the road. Happened on Thanksgiving Day. There are 1411 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 1: no fans in the stands. It was Thanksgiving morning. I 1412 01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,360 Speaker 1: wondered how the Texans would have come out well. Left 1413 01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,680 Speaker 1: into Shawn Watson's hands, it was going to come out fantastic. 1414 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,439 Speaker 1: And it really started for him on a stuttering go, 1415 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,000 Speaker 1: a slanting go, excuse me, a sluggo to Duke Johnson. Yeah, 1416 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,080 Speaker 1: running back Duke Johnson, first and twenty at the Detroit 1417 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:56,519 Speaker 1: thirty three yard line. Deshaun looks it over Detroit showing blitz. 1418 01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Here's the snap. Watson firing deep down the left. Sorry 1419 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:04,760 Speaker 1: and got him man, Duke. He's in rock and roll. Touchdown. 1420 01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:09,120 Speaker 1: Houston then to Shaun Watson on a first and fifteen, 1421 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:11,720 Speaker 1: decided to go deep. It didn't matter. They had just 1422 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 1: got a five yard penalty to Shaun Watson looked up 1423 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,200 Speaker 1: his guy Will Fuller first down and fifteen four, the 1424 01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 1: Texans at the Detroit forty yard line, Watson at the gun. 1425 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,479 Speaker 1: Here's the snap because Sean firing deep and he's got 1426 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:30,400 Speaker 1: a man well Fuller touchdown Houston. Watson deep too well, 1427 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,920 Speaker 1: and then the coodegg raw. They went to the playbook 1428 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 1: and found one of the best flee flickers you've ever seen. 1429 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,959 Speaker 1: And then you can hear me chuckling in the background. 1430 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: First down at the Detroit thirty four, A handoff to 1431 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,640 Speaker 1: Duke running to the right and he's gonna throw it 1432 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,240 Speaker 1: back to the Shawn looking and firing left side, and 1433 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:51,640 Speaker 1: Fuller walks across the ten five and jumps out of 1434 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: the end zone. Touchdown Houston, and you watch some creativity there. 1435 01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,360 Speaker 1: It is. That was fun. We saw some of that 1436 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:03,200 Speaker 1: creating Sunday on the pitch back pass to Brandon Cooks 1437 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 1: as well trick play on the pond. It's kind of 1438 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,799 Speaker 1: fun watch. Maybe we'll see more of that in twenty 1439 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,360 Speaker 1: twenty one, and hopefully we will see ninety nine back 1440 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,599 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. He had a great twenty twenty. 1441 01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:17,719 Speaker 1: Let's do that. Next. I Texans access, it's all access, 1442 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 1: it's access. Third down and eight at the Houston twelve 1443 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:25,120 Speaker 1: bus punch right side. Rlan takes the snap, I'm third down, 1444 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,360 Speaker 1: he's got time, and he's stacked back at that twenty 1445 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:33,120 Speaker 1: three yard line by J w On. The crowd erupts, Well, 1446 01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,439 Speaker 1: you have to know that play didn't happen in the 1447 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:39,560 Speaker 1: season twenty twenty, But if I'm being real, we celebrate 1448 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,519 Speaker 1: JJ Watt in twenty twenty. That technically did happen in 1449 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty at home in front of a big crowd 1450 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,920 Speaker 1: against Buffalo, and it was a huge play. That was 1451 01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,519 Speaker 1: one of the great plays in twenty twenty, the year 1452 01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty and not the season of twenty twenty, 1453 01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,200 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. That said, JJ is 1454 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:02,840 Speaker 1: more than likely going to lead the team or at 1455 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:07,839 Speaker 1: least tie for the lead in every category except tackles. 1456 01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,560 Speaker 1: That's amazing to think about. And I know there's a 1457 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 1: lot of talking about is he coming back? Is he 1458 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,040 Speaker 1: what's he gonna do? He's got one more year contract? 1459 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,759 Speaker 1: Is all that? Look? J J. Watt is still playing 1460 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,679 Speaker 1: at a very very high level, in incredibly high level, 1461 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:25,160 Speaker 1: and he showed it throughout the season. To me, there 1462 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,400 Speaker 1: were certain games that he just kind of, you know, 1463 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,400 Speaker 1: kind of took over the game, and one of those 1464 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:34,479 Speaker 1: was against New England. Batted down passes, tackles for a 1465 01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 1: lost man. The man was all over the place first 1466 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,559 Speaker 1: and Tan Newton under center. One back it's Harris and 1467 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,479 Speaker 1: he's brought out Bay Watt for a TfL. J J. 1468 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 1: Watt with the stop in the backfield. He was also 1469 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,960 Speaker 1: able to get his hands on not one, not two, 1470 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,280 Speaker 1: but three plus one makes four batted passes. How about that? 1471 01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,040 Speaker 1: I did math on the fly. Four batted passes and 1472 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 1: here was one of them. Third down at a long 1473 01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:02,479 Speaker 1: four inside the Texans twenty five, Cam Newton and the gun, 1474 01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,960 Speaker 1: two receivers left, one back White. Newton gets to snap throws, 1475 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:10,360 Speaker 1: tip and complete what all over it? One of the 1476 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:14,120 Speaker 1: things JJ has always done very well. Obviously bad it passes. 1477 01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,639 Speaker 1: He scored touchdowns offensively, score touchdowns defensively, but he always 1478 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: has a way of finding the football and he was 1479 01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,600 Speaker 1: able to come up with the first turnover of the year. Now, 1480 01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,640 Speaker 1: I got a little help from Turrell Adams, but this 1481 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,160 Speaker 1: fourth down stop and fumble recovery was awesome because the 1482 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 1: Texans hadn't had a turnover till that point. Here's JJ 1483 01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 1: with a fumble recovery against the Jags in the big 1484 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,559 Speaker 1: spot on fourth down, fourth and one. Jaguars up there, 1485 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:43,760 Speaker 1: Houston eight midshoe motions out to the left side. It's 1486 01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,599 Speaker 1: gonna be a wildcatch. Robinson trying to find some room 1487 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:48,920 Speaker 1: he might throw it. Adams is there to make the 1488 01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 1: stop and the humble is out and the Texans have it. 1489 01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:56,280 Speaker 1: JJ wat The Texans have the rock at the ten 1490 01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:00,400 Speaker 1: yard line. They turned back the Jaguars on fourth and 1491 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,680 Speaker 1: one and hold on to the lead. If there is 1492 01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,360 Speaker 1: something that we need more than anything going into twenty 1493 01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: twenty one and beyond, it's players that have the same 1494 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 1: mindset that JJ hasn't, That is, don't just make the play, 1495 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:19,080 Speaker 1: go get the flipping football. And against Tennessee, he was 1496 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 1: having an excellent day early on knifing in the backfield 1497 01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 1: and stopping Derrick Henry second down and two for the 1498 01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: Titans from their seventeen yard line as Humphreys goes in 1499 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,639 Speaker 1: motion to the left hand on Henry and brought down 1500 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 1: in the backfield by what a TfL For JJ, that 1501 01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:38,800 Speaker 1: was just the appetizer, because you remember that hole going 1502 01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 1: and get in the ball thing, Well, JJ did it 1503 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,680 Speaker 1: in a key spot in the second half when the 1504 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 1: Texans needed to turn over in the worst way, and 1505 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,840 Speaker 1: JJ said, I got this. I'll go get it. Third 1506 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:54,400 Speaker 1: and ten, Titans at their twenty five three receivers wid 1507 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 1: side left, Tannehill and the gun. As Tannehill takes the snap, 1508 01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 1: here comes watch JJ with the hit. The all is out. 1509 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:04,840 Speaker 1: The Titans recover deep in their territory. It's still out. 1510 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,519 Speaker 1: There's a fight for a scrub. The Texans say they 1511 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:14,679 Speaker 1: have it. They have it first and go Taylor. Luan 1512 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 1: had gotten hurt earlier in that game, and after he 1513 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:22,679 Speaker 1: went out, Ties sam Brilo went into tackle and similarly 1514 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,360 Speaker 1: lead to the way that a coordinator may set up 1515 01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,680 Speaker 1: a play later on, Hey, here's a deep ball, or 1516 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, here's a play because we want to hit 1517 01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: a deep ball later on. The coordinators always do that. 1518 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,840 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like JJ was setting up sam 1519 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:36,639 Speaker 1: Brilo the whole time he had been in the game, 1520 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,200 Speaker 1: and then he just ripped right past him, got to Tannio, 1521 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,839 Speaker 1: got the ball out, and then the vall wasn't recovered. 1522 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 1: It kept, you know, Mark Seido, the Titans have it 1523 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 1: because it looked like two guys pounced on it. But 1524 01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 1: the Texans were able to wrestle it out of there. 1525 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 1: Randall Cobb caught a touchdown a little while later and 1526 01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,360 Speaker 1: that would help them take the lead. And man, it 1527 01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,879 Speaker 1: was massive chaos in that game in Tennessee, and Watt 1528 01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 1: was causing it for the Titans. Out JJ's had games 1529 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,880 Speaker 1: where he is completely dominated nearly every team that they've 1530 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,880 Speaker 1: faced across the board. I remember him doing it to 1531 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 1: the Saints in twenty fifteen. He's done it to numerous teams. 1532 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,320 Speaker 1: But he seems to save his best for the Indianapolis Colts, 1533 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,559 Speaker 1: and he certainly did that in an unfortunate loss at 1534 01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 1: home because he was completely unblockable in that game against 1535 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 1: the Colts at home. First half, Colts at their twenty 1536 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,680 Speaker 1: five yard line, Rivers fakes to give steps to his right, 1537 01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 1: stepping around, dumps it off to Wilkins, and he's wrapped 1538 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 1: up by JJ Watt for a loss on first half 1539 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 1: at the Houston forty three handoff Hines and brought down 1540 01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 1: to the backfield by JJ Watt. A TfL for JJ, 1541 01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,880 Speaker 1: as Jack Doyle could not handle him first down at 1542 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:50,759 Speaker 1: the fourteen handoff Taylor. What TfL A backfield blast for JJ. 1543 01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:58,400 Speaker 1: Always love Dre's devilish laughs. What makes another TfL The 1544 01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:04,479 Speaker 1: Colts can instantly have issues trying to stop JJ Watt 1545 01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Now I saved. I felt like the best two plays 1546 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 1: of JJ in twenty twenty for the end. And I 1547 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 1: know Drew Dorry and I have talked about this on 1548 01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 1: in the lab, talked about it with Mark numerous times 1549 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:23,599 Speaker 1: about the season twenty fourteen. In twenty fourteen, JJ he 1550 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 1: was incredible, And I mean he's been an incredible player, 1551 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but watching him in twenty fourteen 1552 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,400 Speaker 1: from the perch that I have on the sideline was 1553 01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:35,479 Speaker 1: just it's incredible. I mean, it's absolutely amazing to watch 1554 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,479 Speaker 1: that man work, to be in the building with him 1555 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,040 Speaker 1: and see him working at all times, but seeing it 1556 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 1: happen in the way that it did in twenty fourteen 1557 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 1: every single game, I mean it was almost like on call. 1558 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 1: I remember Mark against the Colts on a Thursday night, 1559 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,280 Speaker 1: was like, it's time for what to make a play 1560 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 1: and then he picked up a fumble and went to 1561 01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 1: the house. One twenty fourteen, he had a bunch of touchdowns. 1562 01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,600 Speaker 1: He had some offensively, had won against the Raiders. Offensively, 1563 01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 1: he had won against the Browns offensive want against the Titans, 1564 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 1: but he also had some on the defensive side. He 1565 01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:07,040 Speaker 1: returned that fumble return against the Colts for a touchdown. 1566 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 1: He also had a pick six eighty yard pick six 1567 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills was the first game that my 1568 01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:15,479 Speaker 1: wife ever saw. Unfortunately, every going to the concession standard, 1569 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 1: so they missed the play right after halftime. Either way, 1570 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:21,160 Speaker 1: point being, JJ had not scored a touchdown in the 1571 01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,960 Speaker 1: five years after that. It took all the way to 1572 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:28,479 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions, when the Texans absolutely, without 1573 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 1: question needed a kick in the backside. They'd come up 1574 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:33,200 Speaker 1: with a lot of energy, and then the Lions went 1575 01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 1: right down and scored and made seven nothing to start 1576 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,320 Speaker 1: the game. After another three and out and upunt, the 1577 01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,799 Speaker 1: Lions like, oh my gosh, this this the way Thanksgiving 1578 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,799 Speaker 1: Day is going to be. JJ Watt made his presence 1579 01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,759 Speaker 1: known yet again. First down Detroit from the Lions twenty 1580 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,880 Speaker 1: five yard line, as Marvin Jones goes in motion to 1581 01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 1: the left, Stafford back to throw and he tumps it off. 1582 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,160 Speaker 1: It's picked off by JJ across the fifteen ten five 1583 01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 1: rock and roll. What pick six? On that day? The 1584 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,240 Speaker 1: Texans created three turnovers and those were big and a 1585 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,920 Speaker 1: forty one to twenty five win over the Detroit Lions. 1586 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 1: And JJ was absolutely massive in that football game, no 1587 01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,840 Speaker 1: question about it, getting that interception to start, and what 1588 01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:18,880 Speaker 1: I loved about it was the reaction of everybody on 1589 01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 1: the sidelines. They were all looking to just explode. And 1590 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 1: when JJ made that play, jumped up, snagged it, ran 1591 01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:29,320 Speaker 1: into the end zone. I'll never forget sing that, I'll 1592 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,519 Speaker 1: never forget seeing that, and the last highlight, I'll never 1593 01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,599 Speaker 1: forget c in two. Now it happened. Both of these 1594 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,920 Speaker 1: happened in wins, so it was always good to celebrate that, 1595 01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:43,679 Speaker 1: but that one against the Lions, it was a singular moment, 1596 01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:47,679 Speaker 1: and that was you know, he's that man. That's three 1597 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:49,959 Speaker 1: pick six is he's now had in his career, including 1598 01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:53,800 Speaker 1: the playoff game. Those are singular moments. What he did 1599 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville was a career moment that came at the 1600 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 1: absolute right time. That's always been JJ's sort of baliwick, 1601 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 1: if you will, the big plays at the perfect time. Well, 1602 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 1: there aren't very many players in the NFL that have 1603 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 1: a hundred sacks, and they're not many that have had 1604 01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,360 Speaker 1: a hundred sacks in the short amount of time or 1605 01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:20,920 Speaker 1: the fewer number of games that JJ's played. But JJ 1606 01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,519 Speaker 1: Watt has one hundred one now. But he got number 1607 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:28,480 Speaker 1: one hundred down in Jacksonville in a win for the Texans, 1608 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:30,840 Speaker 1: and it sounded like this, third down at four for 1609 01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 1: the Jags, twenty two. Luton steps up and what knocks 1610 01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:38,639 Speaker 1: the ball out? J J. Watt strip sack recovered by 1611 01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:43,599 Speaker 1: the Jags. But that's it. One hundred for JJ Watt, 1612 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,839 Speaker 1: thirty fifth player at NFL history with one hundred sacks, 1613 01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:51,160 Speaker 1: and of course the first Houston Texans to do it. 1614 01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't even want to think this way, but because 1615 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,240 Speaker 1: he was asked about it the other day, I'll say it. 1616 01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,160 Speaker 1: I hope that's not the last we've seen a J. J. 1617 01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:06,120 Speaker 1: Watton a Texans uniform, but if it is, then bravo, salud, 1618 01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:10,880 Speaker 1: Thank you all the above. JJ Watt has been a 1619 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 1: blessing on this community and I hope that he continues 1620 01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 1: to be part of it going forward, in part of 1621 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,760 Speaker 1: this organization. But what a magnificent individual and what hell 1622 01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:23,120 Speaker 1: of a football player to boot. That's it. Everybody appreciate you, 1623 01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,280 Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
