1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: What is going on Texas fans everywhere? Happy Friday. Oh

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: it's much happier no matter what, because the Texans moved

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: to seventy four last night? How was that? Man? That

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: was really fun? Stressful? Stressful can be fun, though, I

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: mean if some people like that, if you'd like to

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: deal with stress, my goodness. Twenty to seventeen last night

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: over the Indianapolis Colts. A game that is, Man, I

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: don't even know that I can really describe what we

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: saw last night. It was phenomenal. It was a phenomenal

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: football game in every way, shape or form because the

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: Texas won. But it was physical, as physical as any

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: game that I can remember seeing. I don't know that

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I saw a game. I tried to remember last night

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: as I was driving home, which was about two fifteen

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: in the morning. So yeah, there's a bunch of bunch

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: of stuff to do after the game that we had

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: to do and TV shows. I think I had a

18
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: shot two TV shows, did radio postgame, and then shot

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: a telestrators segment. An wrote my notes from the game

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: last night, Harris Hits, So go check those out on

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Houston Texas dot com social media channels at Houston Texas.

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: You can get my Harris hits, my thoughts on and

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: things that I saw from the game last night. And man,

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: it just when a Texas when the cultivated seventeen ten

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: and I'm watching Jonathan Williams going in the ends and

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, that's what the last thing that

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to see. I mean, I know everybody felt

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: that way, but it was like, oh man, did they

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: have it in them? Can they come back? And they

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: did score the next ten points, held the Colts scoreless

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: from that point forward, and won the game twenty to seventeen. Wow.

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: All right. On the show this evening, we will dive

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: in deep with my good friend and wins the Texas

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Mark Vandomir. We went in depth on this one, so

35
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: you definitely want to stay tuned and hear the thoughts

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: of the voice of the Texans and what we saw.

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: So many different nuances to this game, so many players

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: making plays actually on both sides. But we're concerned about

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: the Texans, and I mean, you go up and down

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: the roster. Kinami knocked home two field goals last night.

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking numbers wise, obviously with Deshaun Watson, did DeAndre

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Hopkins will Fuller. DeAndre Carter had a great punt return

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: and any uniformal but he got it back on the

44
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: punt return. Everybody in defense, Carls Watkins had a couple

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: of key tackles. Vernon Hardgraves came in and did some

46
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: great things. I mean, so many different nuanced aspects to

47
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: this game. We will talk about it all. We'll do

48
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: that over the next couple of segments, and then we

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: I gotta do what I normally do on Tuesdays. I

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: gotta do replay this hit me driving home last night too,

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: man reliving that game. I want to relive that game,

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: and I want to relive it. I don't want to

53
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: wait till Tuesday do it. So we're gonna do a

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: short ultimate eleven plays of the win over Indianapolis, followed

55
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: by my predictions for all NFL games, and then James

56
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: Palmer stopped by with Mark Van Amir. Earlier this week,

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: James Bean covered the Texans in Baltimore from here on Sunday,

58
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: then stayed here to cover the Texans and the Colts

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: throughout the week. And I believe he'll go somewhere else

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday, or he'll go home and get a break

61
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: hardest working man in sports. He is phenomenal talk to.

62
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: So Mark talked to him about the AFC South, the

63
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: NFL in general. So we'll have that for you as well.

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: But we got a jumper to our Hot read sending

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: Hot Reads brought to you by Geicho fifteen minutes to

66
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Now

67
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: hot Reads, We're gonna make this one big Texans audio

68
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: a jukebox because really, I don't think we haven't had

69
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: any time to get the reaction of the guys last

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: night in the locker room. So let's do it. Let's

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: start with Will Fuller, who well he discussed what was

72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: working and what was going on. Temp Will fear in

73
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: a dB heart, you know, just run him a row

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: heard every every chance I got and uh, you know

75
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: you know that that that trust, you know, really gets

76
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: me going too, so you know, uh, because he gotta

77
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: keep it going. Well, he was good, man, He was

78
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: really good. And the one thing that I think Will

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: does not get credit enough for is his route running.

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Everybody talks about speech speed, speed speed. He has refined

81
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: his route running. It is darn near an art where

82
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: he's got it right now, I wouldn't even say science

83
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: because that's too mechanical. With Art, he knows the nuances

84
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: and things that he's got to do to be able

85
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: to get open, and he definitely has that working for him.

86
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: He talked about what this game means for this team

87
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: going forward. That was big. You know that that was

88
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the first place in the in the in the division.

89
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: So we treated it like a playoff game. You know.

90
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: We came out victorious and we just gotta keep it

91
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, it's interesting. When the Texas played the

92
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Falcons earlier this year, I looked down and they're bouncing around.

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: They had kind of a rhythm in their step. I mean,

94
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: it was kind of cool to watch that last night.

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: It was very businessman like, very businessman. I mean, they

96
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: just really kind of buttoned up, like you could tell

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: they were ready and focused. They looked I mean, they

98
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: looked good. I Mean there's times the first half where

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: you go, oh no, I don't know, but they got

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: together and got it going and then they started dancing

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: obviously at the end of the night. Now, Will was

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: targeted eleven times in this game, but it's this game

103
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: that was the target for him getting back and being

104
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: ready to go against Indianapolis. Was that the case? Was

105
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: this the target day all along getting ready for the Colts,

106
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: all shan come back as soon as possibly. You know,

107
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: I was hoping the Baltimore game and then then didn't

108
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: goes playing, and then the London game didn't didn't didn't

109
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: goes playing. So the Bubby really helped me though, And um,

110
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 1: I felt like today was it today ahead. I'm glad

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: he came back. I'm glad that was the day it

112
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: came back. I I listen, we would have loved to

113
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: have gone up with Will against Baltimore, but to have

114
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: him fully completely healthy for this one against the Colts,

115
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 1: that was that was more important. So of course people

116
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: want to know, well what did you do to get

117
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: ready to play for this one? You know, it just

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: felt better, you know. Um, you know I was out

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: there working hard, working hard in training room, trying to

120
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: try to get a neck film right, um, and I felt,

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't enough to play. He didn't. He

122
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: got himself ready to play. And there was one time

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: I felt like he reached for a hamstring. I was like,

124
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no no, no, come on, come on now,

125
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: and he ended up being fine. You know there's no

126
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: issue with it, hopefully and he will continue. That was

127
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: will for the fifth with a tremendous ball game. A

128
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: guy who also had I thought a tremendous game was

129
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: playing for the first time as a Texan, and that

130
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: was Vernon Hargraves, and he discussed what this first game

131
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: with his new team was like. Man, it was fun, Man,

132
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: it was fun. These guys, you know, they've been playing

133
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: together for a long time in the shows, you know

134
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: they got they always talking. They're always talking in the field.

135
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: That's what you need on defense. You need communication. And

136
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: those guys, man, all they're doing is talking to me

137
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: the whole time, helping me out, get me lined up.

138
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that out. I mean, you can't ask

139
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: for anything more as a new player coming into a

140
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: new team who was already established. I'll tell you this.

141
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: I watched the game against Tennessee in particular, and I

142
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: had to coach his film and I can't tell you

143
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: a number of times that Vernon turned around to try

144
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: to get his safeties in the corner to talk to him,

145
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: and he would just be sitting there clap. He'd be clapping,

146
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: like trying to get their attention and they would never

147
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: communicate with him. So I can only imagine what last

148
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: night was. And I actually mentioned my Harris Hits. One

149
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: of the things I noticed when the culture would come

150
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: out in the formation, I'd see de Sean Gibson, He'd

151
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: look at Vernon. He would give a hand signal and

152
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: he would make sure that Vernon had it. Like he

153
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: would do the hand signal, get his attention, and then

154
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: he'd like wait for a not to make sure he

155
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: had it before they eventually got their eyes back in

156
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: on the quarterback and made the play. I thought the

157
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: communication was on point with everybody, but it had to

158
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: be with Vernon because he's so new and I think

159
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: he really obviously as he just said, really appreciated doing

160
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: and having that for him playing um in this game,

161
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: being active. He wasn't active for Baltimore. He'd been there

162
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of days, hasn't been here for a

163
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: full week. I guess hasn't that full preparation week. But

164
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: it meant a lot to him to play so soon.

165
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: It feels good to be to be wanted, It feels

166
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: good to you know, to be supportive, you know, and

167
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: you know there's not much more I can say about that.

168
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: It feels good that they want me out there, and

169
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: then they expect me to make plays, and you know,

170
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. VH three man, we love having you

171
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: out there. We love having you out there now. With

172
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: just a little bit of time to prep for this week,

173
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: you never know what a guy is gonna be able

174
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: to do. You know, I have tackle in a few weeks,

175
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, can you come up and make tackles? And

176
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,239
Speaker 1: Vernon came up and made a couple of key tackles.

177
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: He made some big plays with just a little time

178
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: to prep and he talked about that too. That's professional football.

179
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: You gotta be ready. H That's not much more to say, Abody.

180
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: You gotta be ready no matter what the situation is.

181
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: That's why they pay us like they do. And you know,

182
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: these guys they helped me out. They showed me a

183
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: lot of love, a lot of support. You know, they

184
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: want me out there, and you know that feels good. Yeah,

185
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. Burning Hard Graves with a big

186
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: ball game yesterday. All right, let's move on to Jonathan Joseph,

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: the venerable one, just getting his thoughts on the big

188
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: w over the Indianapolis Colts. Plan is big shows what

189
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: type of team we have. The guys in this locker

190
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: room and the coaching staff, everybody involved obviously mean it

191
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: was gonna be a tough game with a division opponent,

192
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: but you know that type of team we are, you

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: know the ones at home, you gotta win division game

194
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: and that I'll tell you what, And I'm gonna play

195
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: some more cuts from j jo on the second, but

196
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this again. Listen to

197
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: his voice. Plans big shows what type of team we have.

198
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: The guys in this locker room, the coaching staff, everybody involved.

199
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: Obviously we know it was gonna be a tough game

200
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: with a division opponent, but you know that type of

201
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: team we are. You know the ones at home, you

202
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: gotta win division game. And that I know that voice.

203
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: I know it's Joatha Joseph's voice. They get that, but

204
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: I know that voice. That rat spe I lost my

205
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: voice kind of thing that happens when you are yelling, communicating,

206
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: getting hyped like that, because I had that voice this

207
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: morning when I woke up. That's what Jonathan I. When

208
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: I heard that first clip, I'm like, that's pretty awesome

209
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: because it was loud crowd and you got to try

210
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: and talk over that. And that's a guy in Jonathan Joseph.

211
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: That look that secondary has had trouble with t Y

212
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Hilton over the you know, over the past few years.

213
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: But that one meant a lot to a lot of guys.

214
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: And I know that meant a lot to J Joe

215
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: last night. You can hear. You can hear in his voice.

216
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that he was hyping guys up. He

217
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: was communicating him have to yell over the noise, and

218
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: that's the reason his voice kind of sounds like mine.

219
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: So j Joe, what using that voice was the key

220
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: to the win last night? Playing a four sixty minute games,

221
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: nothing more than that. At the end of the day,

222
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: football is by making plays, playing from first quarter all

223
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: the way to the finish, however long it may take.

224
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: And I think the day we did that playing compromrying football.

225
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: You know, the special teams made big plays. Offense made

226
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: big plays and defense and I think it was all

227
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: time Lee. Yeah, it was a team win. You see

228
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: a lot of guys put stuff on social media, great

229
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: team win, great team win, and this was a team win.

230
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: Jjo just said it. I mean huge players on special teams.

231
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: J J. Moore with that big hit, Cami with the

232
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: field goal, which I still don't know how it got in,

233
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: but it got in. Hit two of them. Actually, the

234
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: offensive plays they made, all that, the guys the defense

235
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: that made it was a true team win. Now the

236
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: secondary were still a little shorthanded. No Justin Reed, no

237
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby, no Lonnie Johnson. Jjo discussed playing a little

238
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: bit shorthand him speaking because those guys, you know, they

239
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: stayed around all day. They can't They had into it,

240
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: you know, helped whoever else was feeling in for him.

241
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: And that's the type of group we have back in

242
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: the back end. You know, it's always about the next

243
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: guy up, next man mentality, and you know if you're

244
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: not playing, you know you're happening out be another set

245
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: of eye for him. There's no question. And J Joe

246
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: is a guy that has sort of transition. He's not

247
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the play every single play one hundred percent of the

248
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: time on the field. Guy, he's there. They got a

249
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: nice rotation back there, and when Robie comes back and

250
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Lonnie comes back, there had more of that and I

251
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what that looks like going forward,

252
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: starting with Sunday against the England Patriots. Jolilla Die, here's

253
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: a little here's a little known fact. I guess play

254
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: the Texas or played the Coult two weeks seven, week twelve.

255
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: What one secondary member is the only guy to play

256
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: the maturity of those two games. Jolilla Die and John

257
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: Joseph talked about Jolilla Die. Ah, I love Jalille Man.

258
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: He's a guy that talk football. He's football, you know,

259
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: each and every day and that was off with him,

260
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: and it just plays and shows on the field. He's

261
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: always got full of excitement and joy. He's a full

262
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: team player and he's a good player. And I'm having

263
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: on a team with him well he is. May I

264
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: think about bringing him in. They had already signed to

265
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Sean Gibson after he was cut as a salary cap

266
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: casualty with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and then they signed Julia Die.

267
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, Okay, you got Justin Reid and you

268
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: got Gibson, but a Die can do a lot of

269
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: different things for you, and he's really proven that that

270
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: is the case. He can do a lot of different

271
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: stuff with this defense, and he is he is all

272
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: about ball. I love that. Jonatt Joseph the fourth down stop,

273
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: fourth and seven. He talked about that after the game

274
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: and how big that was. Oh yeah, we knew the

275
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: type of game. It wasn't gonna come down so possibly

276
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, you're looking at the clock. One score game.

277
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: We gotta hold him, offense, hold the ball, and I

278
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: think went out then getting that big stop. You know,

279
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: coverage held up in the back end, pass rushing the

280
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: front of you guys hustling to the ball and stopped

281
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: him before the chains. Offense get the ball and running out.

282
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: That's what type of team we have. That's kind of

283
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: to see your offense after you stopped him, not to

284
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: go back out there. That was the Chiefs game, that

285
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: was the Raiders game. You get to stop boys. We'll

286
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: go run this clock out. Man. That's fun. That that's fun.

287
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's tuck a little. Bernardrick McKinney. He talked

288
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Now, b MAC. Sometimes you don't

289
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: always get a ton from him because he does his

290
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: talking with his play. But he did talk about bouncing

291
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: back after a tough one against Baltimore. It hurt. Everbody

292
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: knew it hurt, so that's what motivated us to uh

293
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: Bey to come and uh you know, the coach a

294
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: great team and Beadle to come or the next week

295
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: and be able to get to win eleven tackles last night.

296
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: For b Mac, he wasn't the only guy making plays.

297
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: The one who made a huge play at the end

298
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: was Brennan Scarlett. He was part of a four man

299
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: rush and he did a little twist stunt with whoever

300
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: was next to him on the inside, and Scarlett couldn't

301
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: get there, and so at that point he kind of

302
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: backed off and sort of spied on Briget Cob Brissette,

303
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: and when Brissette took off, Brennan ran about as fast

304
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: as he possibly could to go track him down before

305
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: the first down Marker b MAC talked about what to

306
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: stop that was at the end. I mean, every team

307
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: has five power. He coached a great team. We knew

308
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a dog fight. Sixty minutes. Scarlett made

309
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: an unbelievable play stopping every set um and like I said,

310
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: it felt great. I know all the guys on the defense,

311
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: Uh it felt great to them and it's great to

312
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: get off the field finally beat Jacoby Brissett. And that's

313
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: the one thing I think I'm gonna take out of it.

314
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: As these guys finally out a chance to get Jacoby Brissett.

315
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: It was a great defensive team effort. It was a

316
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: heck of a team effort all around. And that right

317
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: there the sound from locker room, the Texas Audio jukebox

318
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: tells the full story. All right, when we get back,

319
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: Mark Vanemuir stops by. We will discuss this game in

320
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: fold next on Texans All Access. I am calling all

328
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: to seventeen over the Indianapolis Colts last night and what

329
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: it win it was. I'm your host for Texas All

330
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Access this evening. John Harris joining me right now is

331
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: good friend, Mark Randomir, Mark, how you doing Johnny. I

332
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: feel like the Grim Reaper a little bit. Actually, he

333
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: probably feels pretty good because he just sends people to

334
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: you know where. Like I did not sleep much last night,

335
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. We shot television shows, we wrote articles,

336
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: we had a great time. This was a monumental victory.

337
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. We've been talking about

338
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: the series all week, the history of it, and I

339
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: think you added another great chapter as far as the

340
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Texans are concerned in this series, in this rivalry, it

341
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: is a rivalry. Now. This is hot and heavy stuff.

342
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: Never mind what happened from two thousand and two through

343
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine when the Texans only got one win.

344
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Since two thousand and ten, it's been back and forth.

345
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: It's been exciting. There's been a postseason matchup, maybe there's

346
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: another one this year. And last night a prime time

347
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: date at NRG Stadium, and the Texans owned the fourth

348
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: quarter and got the win. I am elated about that.

349
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: So fatigue means nothing to me right now. Thirty second

350
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: elevator test. Now you don't have thirty seconds. You can

351
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: elaborate for as long as you want, but you walk

352
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: into the elevator with somebody and they ask you about

353
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: the game last night, what's the first thing you tell them?

354
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: Super physical, both teams on short rest. These teams clearly

355
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: don't like each other. They know what's at stake. That

356
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: was a big game. It was probably too big a

357
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: game to play on a Thursday. Just felt that way

358
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: to me, like that deserved maybe a Monday night or

359
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: a Sunday night or something like that. But that's okay.

360
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: You play when you play, and I think the players

361
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: kind of liked it in a way that way, But

362
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: I just thought it was going to take a toll

363
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: physically on both teams to get out there and lock

364
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: up like that, and the tech ends in the third

365
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: quarter giving up the rushing yards the way they did

366
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: the first half. You had that forty two yard drive

367
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: where all the players were runs. The third quarter you

368
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: had that drive where what ten out of eleven plays

369
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: were runs. And when that happens, you feel like, are

370
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: they gonna ever stop them again? Are they done now?

371
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Because usually when you're running the ball like that, it's

372
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: not gonna get any worse for the offense. Right for

373
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: the colt you think they would keep getting stronger, like

374
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: you cannot stop them. It reminded me of Seattle in

375
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. My gosh, inquiring minds want to know,

376
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: but some people do know what I'm talking about when

377
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: I refer to that game. That was a Sunday night game,

378
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: by the way, back Sunday football was on ESPN, and

379
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: they couldn't stop the run. This was different. It was

380
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: a pounded that offensive line doing a great job for

381
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: the Colts. But then the Texans, like I said, and

382
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: I remember opening the fourth quarter, we were coming out

383
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: of the third fourth quarter break and the break between

384
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: the two quarters, and I just said it on the air.

385
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: I forget exactly what I said, but I knew that

386
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: this was it. This is the fourth quarter, this is it.

387
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: And you were telling me the first play of the

388
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter because I didn't remember exactly what the first

389
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: play of that frame was. The Texans already had the ball.

390
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: Was Hyde's thirty three yard run to get them cooking

391
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis territory. A few plays later, Watson finds Hopkins

392
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: in the end zone. They take the lead and they

393
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: hang onto it. Look at three point lead in this game,

394
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And then you have what trading punts,

395
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: and then you have the Colts on the move and

396
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: there a half yard away from that drive, continuing and

397
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: eventually getting it to the foot of Vinetary for a

398
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: tie or maybe worse as far as the Texans go.

399
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: And Brennan Scarlett, I mean you talk about game of inches.

400
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: That game had everything. And I know Tony Vasselli was

401
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: doing the game for Westwood One. Yeah, and he said

402
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: to me at the half he said, that's kind of

403
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: a boring game. I'm like, listen, Tony, because you don't care,

404
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: even though you should, because you made some money from

405
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: this franchise. You don't care. We care, Okay, we carelled

406
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: awful lot about this one. So to me, look thirteen twelve,

407
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: ten to six, sixteen to ten, I'm giving you scores

408
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: of low scoring Texans victories. Those are exciting games to me.

409
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be a high scoring, flying circus

410
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: for it to be entertaining. And this was middle scoring

411
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: right twenty to seventeen. But the fact that they hung

412
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: on and then they ran out the clock again, what

413
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: did they have three wins this year where they run

414
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: out the clock and they're able to get crafty first

415
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: downs and you know they figured it out. Let's just

416
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: throw the ball along at the end, kill the final

417
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: five seconds, boom you're at. It was the most physical

418
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: game I've seen in a long time, if if not ever.

419
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean there were guys getting smoked when they ran

420
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: the ball inside in the fourth quarter. And I talked

421
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: to Zach Cuttingham after the game. Zach was our player

422
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: of the game, hit sixteen tackles and just continues to

423
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: carve out a career for himself. And and here's the

424
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: thing in when you face the Colts, and you'd think

425
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: of linebackers, uppers, Oh, Darius Lennard, Darius Leonard. And I

426
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: will never, never, never take anything away from Darius Leonard.

427
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: He is a fantastic football player, and I hate the

428
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: fact that we have to face him twice a year.

429
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: But these two linebackers for the Houston Texans and t

430
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: linebackers Brodrick McKinney and Zach Cuttingham take a backseat to

431
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: no one. Nobody talks about him. Everybody talks about, you know,

432
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: Bobby Waggoner up in Seattle, and for good reason, laid

433
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: vander esh and Jalen Smith with Dallas, they talk about

434
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Darius Lennard. Nanthy Walker played a really fine game he's

435
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: not thought of nat capacity. These two linebackers for the

436
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: Texans are phenomenal, and Zach Cuttingham was great. And so

437
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: I asked Zach last night, I said, did you feel

438
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: like you got like a second wind like what happened?

439
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: Because in the third quarter, it's, you know, looking good.

440
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: They're kind of pounding a ball right down your throats

441
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: and we're not tackling very well. And he just said,

442
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: you know when he said, after that drive, you know,

443
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: the offense went down and got three points, and we

444
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: just talked about in the sideline and said, we gotta

445
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: clean clean our stuff up, we gotta make clean tackles,

446
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: we gotta do the little things and do the right things.

447
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: And they did. And that's really what they did down

448
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: the stretch. They did the right things. Those runs that

449
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: were going for four or five six yards earlier in

450
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: the game on first down, we're now going for one

451
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: or two. And Zach was a big part of that.

452
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: And DJ Reader was a big part of that. And

453
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: I talked to DJ after the game. I DJ won't

454
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: say it out loud. I get the sense that he

455
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: and those other guys of seeing that offensive line because

456
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: of how much hype that offensive line gets right, in

457
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: particular Quinn Nelson. And again, Quinn Nelson was my number

458
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: one prospect in twenty eighteen, and he's a stud. He's

459
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: just he's unbelievable. But he and DJ read are going

460
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: one on one against each other is like football porn

461
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, it's fantastic to watch. And DJ

462
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: more than held his own and DJs after games like

463
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: they're in anybody in this league goes in my mind,

464
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: there's nobody in this league and blocker me one on one,

465
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to double me to move me. And

466
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: he was phenomenal. Isn't it funny how you look at

467
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: the rushing yard total, right, it's a buck seventy five

468
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: by the Colts. You look at no Indie turnovers. I

469
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: mean those two things. You put those together, and you

470
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: tell me before the game, Hey, by the way, Mark

471
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: the culture gonna get one hundred and seventy five rushing

472
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: yards today and they're not turning it over. I'm thinking, oh,

473
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: six and five here we come second place, solidified. Yeah,

474
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: but the Texans, it's funny. They just own the fourth quarter.

475
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: They made those stops. T Y Hilton, Jonathan Joseph No

476
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: clown mask last night. Right, you look at some of

477
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: those PBUs You look at Tshan Gibson with a pass breakup.

478
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: We mentioned the stop by Scarlett. Those stops were so key, obviously,

479
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: and the fact that you could move the football in

480
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter relatively consistently and at the end kill

481
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: the clock. I mean, I didn't want to see Indie

482
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: Touchett one more time, even for one play, pass interference, whatever.

483
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: I just don't trust this thing because it's a rivalry.

484
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: Weird things can happen. I've been around too long. I've

485
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: seen Rosen Copter up close and personal. I've seen Chris

486
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Brown miss at the buzzer up there. I've seen seventeen

487
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: point lead blown in two thousand and nine here, I've

488
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: seen it all. I don't want to see them back

489
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: on the field on offense. Yeah, I'm with you. T

490
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: Y Hilton three catches for eighteen yards, Yeah, sign me

491
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: up for that. Look all right, he did play, Obviously

492
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: we knew. I mean I felt like if I thought

493
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna play, because Tuesday is the only real

494
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: practice you get, I was con Okay, well, Tuesday, let's

495
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: think about this. Tuesday is the only real practice you

496
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: get for a Thursday game, right, if he was a

497
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: do not did not practice on Tuesday, did not practice

498
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: in the only real practice you get up to a

499
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: Thursday game. He was listed as a full participant on Wednesday,

500
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: which is a walkthrough. Yeah, I mean you could walk

501
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: through with a walker, right, So he walked through on Wednesday.

502
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: I got on the plane, came here. He hadn't played

503
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: in weeks, but he plays in this game, and not

504
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: very well for his standards, of course, and that helped

505
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: the Texans. But you don't have to sing the blues

506
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: here for the Colts because Houston doesn't have Bradley Roby,

507
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be your t y stopper right right,

508
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: and he's unable to go last night. Let's hope he

509
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: can get back for New England. How about Like, there's

510
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: so many subtleties to this game, and I can't wait

511
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: to hear Texans replay with you because Vernon Hargrays comes

512
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: in the new guy making big play. Gosh is he quick?

513
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be fun moving forward watching him

514
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: get into the mix. I think, Johnny and look, I

515
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: know that it didn't work out with him Tampa and

516
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: all of that change his scenery and also in his mind.

517
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: I don't know the guy, but I'm thinking he's probably thinking,

518
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: and you know, he's got coaching in his DNA, He's

519
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: probably thinking, oh, whoa, I better you know, this better

520
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: work out for me. I've got talent, shape up, ship

521
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: out let whatever whatever he's got to do. You know, like,

522
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: let me let me catch on here, because otherwise, who

523
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen with my career Because NFL stands

524
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: for not for long, as Jerry Glanville used to say.

525
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: So he played really well. I mean, you have Conley

526
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: doing some things, you have Hardgraves doing some things. You're

527
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna get Robie back eventually, stir the pot. See how

528
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: all those dbs work out. You weren't playing with Reid,

529
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: Lonnie and Robie last night. That's arguing. That's definitely three

530
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: fifths of your nickel right there. I mean again, Underman,

531
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: and I know the Colts had their injury issues. It's

532
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: a Thursday night games, strap them on and go, and

533
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: they did the job last night. It I couldn't be

534
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: more satisfied with a regular season victory. Everything on the line.

535
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: It's a relief it's joyous. And now you got to

536
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: get ready for the Patriots. Yeah, okay, okay, we're gonna

537
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: talk about the Patriots in due time. But an interesting

538
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: nugget about the secondary. I will discuss that next with Mark.

539
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: Right are in Texans Access Texans moved to seven and

540
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: four the win last night over the Inneapolis Colts. Take

541
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: a one game leading division over the Colts. What a

542
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: win it was. I'm John Harris, that is Mark Vandomir,

543
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: And one of the things that start out to me

544
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: was a little nugget about the secondary. How about this?

545
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: Named the one player in the secondary that played the

546
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: majority of both games. The only player in the secondary

547
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: to play the majority of both games, Joseph. No, Joseph

548
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: got hurt in a second the Colts game. Conley had

549
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: been traded for you. Oh that's right, Conley played there

550
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: as a Raider. Robie was hurt both games. Gibson went

551
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: out in the first quarter of that game. Jolilla Die.

552
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: Jolilla Die is the only member the secondary to play

553
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: the majority of both games. Because your corners in the

554
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: first game were Philip Gaines, Kean Crossing, Cornell Armstrong, Lonnie Johnson.

555
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Cornell was up at that

556
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: point because Jjo went out, because Jjoe goes out. So

557
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Jjo was out for the majority of that game, as

558
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: was Gibson. So your safeties were read and a die.

559
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: Fast forward five weeks now your corners are Conley, Jjoe,

560
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: Vernon and your safeties are a die in Gibson. It

561
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: was a completely different secondary from the one that you faced,

562
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: that Jacoby Brisett faced in Indianapolis. Well, was that the difference?

563
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: You tell me? Why couldn't or didn't the Cults do

564
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: all that that rope a dope rub route? Well, what

565
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: cross shallow crosses, all that stuff? What do you need

566
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: for a rub route? You need man coverage. Texans didn't

567
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: play man coverage as much as they did the first

568
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: They zoned up a little bit and the Texas were

569
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: able to get some pressure in the game up in Indianapolis.

570
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: Watt got a bunch of pressure. Yeah, but he really

571
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: was kind of the only one last night you had

572
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: pressure from the inside. Jacob Martin got his first sack

573
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: and then had other pressures. Whitney Merciless drew a holding,

574
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: maybe two. Brandon Dunn drew two holdings yesterday, and I

575
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: think I'm back to back plays. I was loving those

576
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: holding penalties against Those were huge. So it was you know,

577
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: when guys get on social media after the game, they're like, hey,

578
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: great team win, team win. The emphasized team that last

579
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: night was a great team win. Yea, all across the board.

580
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about having Will Fuller back and

581
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: just the change that that makes on the offense. And well,

582
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: how about Fuller not wide open Will exactly? I mean

583
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: more on him on that big catch and he's able

584
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: to haul it in. Fuller making tough catches, physical play. Look,

585
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 1: I've been observing that with him for the last year

586
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: and a half that he's really turned up the physical

587
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: notch in his game. And you know he watches he's

588
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: at practice with DeAndre and he sees how he operates.

589
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: Some of those catches were DeAndre like, yeah, they the

590
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: thing about Will last night, there was something about it.

591
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: You know, Will makes a catch, what is he typically

592
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna do? He flips the ball the ref and like

593
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: that's that's typically it. He was more demonstrative last night.

594
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: He'd make a catch and he might give the first

595
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: down signal. Um. He caught a past one time and

596
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: he flashed two one five and I was like two one.

597
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, is that the Philly area code.

598
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: I don't even I think it is. I think it's

599
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: He flashed up two one five and I thought, what's that? Oh,

600
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: is that the Philly area code. He just seemed a

601
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: little bit more demonstrative about the things he was doing

602
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: last night, and I kind of like that, kind of

603
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 1: shown a little bit more of the personality. But he's

604
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: such a tough cover. And there were a couple other

605
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: times where he was open, and one time DeShawn missed

606
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: him on that the RPO where he breaks it off

607
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: and he gets away from rvltel. There was one earlier

608
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: on when Kenny Moore came out of blitz. I'm trying

609
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: to remember what drive there was, and he gets open

610
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: and that's where DeShawn is going with the ball. But

611
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore just came clean off the blitz because they

612
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: didn't account for him the protection and he's not able

613
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: to get the football. But it's just a matter of

614
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: fuller being on in the field. And I saw last

615
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: night for the first the first time that I can remember,

616
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: I really saw a team say we're gonna live and

617
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: die with how if Hopkins catches a dozen passes, we're

618
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna live with that, but we're gonna double this other

619
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: guy because we don't have anybody to cover him. I

620
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: saw it. I think it was Hooker. At one point,

621
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: I felt like he was supposed to be in the

622
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: middle field, like they were playing him cover one. It's

623
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: typically free safety and cover one goes to the middle

624
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: of the field. He was all the way between the

625
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: hashes and the numbers towards Fuller to help on Fuller,

626
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: and I thought, that's interesting. I've not seen that, and

627
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of a that's an enormous seat change for

628
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: defense is to say, all right, um, which guy are

629
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: we gonna take away? But Bill and Bryant said in

630
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: his press conference today, how well he runs his routes. Yeah,

631
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: so you got to speed, but how well he runs

632
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: his routes. But catching them ball down the field just

633
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: changed everything. And I actually got kind of worried about

634
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: it because when he when he when when they scored

635
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: seventeen ten, And the one thing I'm thinking is just

636
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: ten to twelve, play drive and tie this thing up

637
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: at seventeen. But give the defense some time to rest

638
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: and first play shoot, he throws it down the field

639
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh, like I'm happy, but

640
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the defense going, oh my god, guys,

641
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: get ready, you're gonna go back on the field. And

642
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: it was only a two and a half minute drive

643
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: and they kicked. You know, Kimie's feel feel go by

644
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: the way? How about that? How about that? It is

645
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: headed for Kirby, it is wide right, and then it

646
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: comes inside on the draw that he put on the ball,

647
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I watched that ball the whole way,

648
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: and I am absolutely I don't know what happened to it.

649
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what in the world happened, because I

650
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: actually said in your ear, I don't know if you

651
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: heard me, I said, why right, I went why, Oh,

652
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: we made it. I mean I literally that's how we

653
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: said it. I didn't. I didn't say anything until yeah,

654
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: that's in que by the way, folks. And I saw

655
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: the ball bounce off the upright. But for those who

656
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: don't know, when you're the play by play guy, you

657
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: cannot tell if it goes through. In fact, Johnny, I

658
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: don't know what upright. I could tell that one was

659
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: a right up right because that actually hit it. Yeah,

660
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: but it like when it's close to it upright, you

661
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: can't tell from the side view that you can't tell.

662
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: That's why I need that. And the monitor, by the way,

663
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: it's very delayed, and I like it delayed. And I stood.

664
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: I was standing directly under the upright and I'm watching

665
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: that thing and I'm telling you, Mark, that thing is

666
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: a foot and a half wide, right, and it as

667
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: it's coming closer, it's like there's no way and it

668
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: like Beckham and somehow he moved just enough to kiss

669
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: the upright and go in. And I'm like, I've never

670
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I haven't had one like that. I

671
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: mean I've seen him on TV. I've never seen one

672
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: like that live. Because I was a thousand percent convinced

673
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 1: because all in my head in the span of three seconds,

674
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, bleeping, he bleep, bleep, bleep. We had to

675
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: score and this thing is why, Oh we made it.

676
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was had had to have that.

677
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: It's almost like the air condition had turned on on

678
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: the west side of the building and blew the ball

679
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: in it. I think it did. I think it did

680
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: the only way I can explain it because there's no

681
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: there's no physics explanation for that ball. Somehow getting through

682
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: those two uprights, I have no idea. All right, topics

683
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: that don't get old. Let me give you a couple, Okay,

684
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: talking about how carl Hide and Duke Johnson have just

685
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: set the world on fire with the running game. As

686
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: far as this world goes to Houston Texans try to

687
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: attack opponents. I can't talk about it enough. I just

688
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: go back to the start of training camp and Lamar

689
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: Miller and Diat day Foreman, and if you told me

690
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: right then, oh, by the way, neither of these guys

691
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: are gonna be a factor at all. And for various reasons,

692
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Miller gets hurt for him and gets released, and they're

693
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: gonna go with Duke Johnson and Carlos Hide. What what

694
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: that happens? They're not gonna set foot on the field

695
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: until the Monday night game. I mean, that's that's the

696
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: crazy thing. I mean, it's I don't know. I don't

697
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: know how you can go into a season and go, okay,

698
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: are two running backs are starting and getting speed reps

699
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: for the first time Week one, I don't listen. Then

700
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: to turn out like this. I love Lamar Miller. And

701
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: by the way, it's the anniversary coming up on Tuesday.

702
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: It's the anniversary of the Monday Night game where we

703
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: honored the memory of mister McNair and Lamar had that

704
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: amazing ninety seven yard run. Carlos High I've always liked him,

705
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: I like him even more now. And he runs it

706
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: feels like he breaks a tackle every other run. Yeah,

707
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: I see arms flying because guys are trying to reach

708
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: out and get him, and he's just like he's going

709
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: through him, Like Turnstiles. I'm just on my way to

710
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: at least five, six, seven, eight, ten or thirty three

711
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: yards like last night. And then you get Duke in

712
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: there with the cutbacks and some of the other things

713
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: he can do. But Johnny, here's another thing about the offense,

714
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: and you can speak to this last night. Fuller clearly

715
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: a big part of the game plan. Hopkins as well,

716
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: and Stills. You know, they motioned him a lot do things,

717
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: and they didn't throw to the tight ends much. Okay,

718
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Thomas is out there, you know, just getting a

719
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: little taste getting his feet wet. Look, they didn't use

720
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: those pages in the playbook. Really, I'm just being you

721
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: know very very general here, but you take on the Patriots.

722
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what the game planets for them, but

723
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: maybe the tight ends factor and big in that one.

724
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Duke Johnson on the backfield as a receiver or

725
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: wherever you put them, factors in big in that one.

726
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: And it's a whole other deal. Because I'll tell you this.

727
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: For Belichick, you know that he spins that wheel. He's ready.

728
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: It's chess for him. He's three moves ahead, four or

729
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: five whatever, and he's gonna be ready for you because

730
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: he watches everything. So it'll be really interesting to see

731
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: how they set up this one. I mean this is

732
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: I know we have extra time. It's Friday, they're not

733
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: playing until a week from Sunday. But I think, hey,

734
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have extra time for a game, this

735
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: is the one to talk about. It's the New England

736
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: Patriots and you have them in your dead well. Clinton

737
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: Starner asked me an interesting question last time in the

738
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: post game, because he said he said, she said, do

739
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: you look at the offense, like, do you have issues

740
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: with the way the offense is running? Like it's not

741
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: you know, a thousand percent consistent, And I said no,

742
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: I said, here's my thought on the offense, and I

743
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: tried to think of the right analogy. I don't know

744
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: that I came up with one, but I think you're

745
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: playbook analogy is a good one, and that as you

746
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: go through the playbook, and if you've ever seen an

747
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: NFL playbook, and so i'll print it out, it looks

748
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: like a New York City, old school New York City

749
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: phone book. Now, millennials, a phone book was this thing

750
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: you used to use, like you would look up who

751
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: you wanted to call in this large volume and you

752
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: will go find that person. And this thing is probably

753
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: three inches high. What I look at it as there

754
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: are and it's by section. It's like, well, here's your

755
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: r PO section, here's your tight end section, here's your

756
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: deep ball section, here's your running game section. Here's very

757
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: different variations in the run game. And as they go

758
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: through the game, they're realizing, Okay, this probably is not

759
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: going to be us tonight, but this could be right.

760
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: That's probably not working, but you know what, this we

761
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: probably could go to. The up tempo is maybe not

762
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: our you know, cup of tea right now, So maybe

763
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: we just need to slow this thing down and go

764
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: to this section of the playbook. There were times over

765
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: the last how many every years mark where when certain

766
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: things weren't happening for the offense, it was done, not happened,

767
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: just not happening that day because those sections in the

768
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: playbook were maybe minuscule, and it really became we gotta

769
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: throw the ball to Hopkins or we gotta try and

770
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: pound the rock and let our defense win this game

771
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: for us. I don't know. That was not the way

772
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: that Bill Brian wanted to play, but that's just kind

773
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: of the way it was. But now you look at

774
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: it and go, Okay, they're taking away wide runs, so

775
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: let's hit him with some inside Let's hit him with

776
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: downhill inside runs. And Duke makes that cutback run on

777
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: that drive and that's like an inside run because he

778
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: did it so quickly and he took advantage of that. Okay,

779
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: they're clamping down on us. Let's send them deep. We

780
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: got will Let's take them deep. Hop We're gonna take

781
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: you deep if they get you in man coverage. So

782
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: it was not a night for the tight ends. It

783
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: was not a night for Kenny, but it was a

784
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: night that the vertical component came back into the offense

785
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: and they hit timely run and that's what they were

786
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna go to with the focus being more about the

787
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: downfield stuff because that's where they felt like that advantage

788
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: against the defense. That to me is more what this

789
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: offense is. Your defense has a question mark somewhere, so

790
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna sort of poke around until we find it,

791
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: and then when we do, boom, we're coming right at it.

792
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: And that to me is kind of the way this

793
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: offense functions a little bit. Where is your problem area,

794
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna find it and hopefully you find it right away.

795
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: But I think that's in large I think that's part

796
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: of why the starts have been slow, because they're sort

797
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: of looking for what they're going to give to us.

798
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: What are you giving to us? What are you taking away? Okay,

799
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna try and take away Hopkins. Okay, well we're

800
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: gonna hit fully. We got the tight ends. You can

801
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: take away Hopkins with double teams, you're gonna have that

802
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: safety rolling over the top. Okay, Well, we're gonna work

803
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: the other side of the field with our RPO package,

804
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: with our tight ends, with our interior guys, with Kenny

805
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: and with Will, you're gonna play is balanced up, well,

806
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: we'll just take what we want at that point. So

807
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: it feels like, Okay, I don't I don't know if

808
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: it's deliberate. I mean, obviously, you know Billy Brown off

809
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: at the staff want to go down score, There's no

810
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: doubt about that. But I do think there's this element

811
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: of we're gonna throw a bunch of stuff at you

812
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: early and see what you want to take away and

813
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: then figure out what kind of game is this? Yep,

814
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: what kind of game is this? What kind of game

815
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: is this? And that's one of the things that in fact,

816
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: I was I was on Twitter earlier this afternoon. I

817
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: was just kind of rolling through and I got somewhere

818
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: and I think it was inside the NFL or something

819
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: like that, and it was a miked up and it

820
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: was Belichick on the sideline. He was talking to former

821
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: tex and John Simon, and he looked at John Simon.

822
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: He said, John, this is an outside game. And what

823
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: he meant by that was because John plays in the outside,

824
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: you know this is not gonna be a pounding game

825
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: like the Coult. You're not gonna have to be in

826
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: on a bunch of tackles. You're gonna have to be

827
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: out in space, making plays outside. That's what your role

828
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: is going to be. And that's one thing that I

829
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: hear on miked up a lot from Belichick. He'll go

830
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: to his players and say, look, guys, it's about slants

831
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: in ink cuts, slants in ink cuts. And here he's

832
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: telling Simon, this is an outside game. So they were

833
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: their masters at figuring out this is what kind of

834
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: game it is. This is And I know they go

835
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: with a plan and everybody goes on the plan and

836
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,959
Speaker 1: you execute that right away. And they felt like last

837
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: night as they tried to run, okay, we got to

838
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: take this part out. And I sort of as I

839
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: talked to build a halftime, that's kind of the thought

840
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: I got in my mind, like, Okay, that's gonna We're

841
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to take that part out of our playbook

842
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: really for the We're not just gonna keep going to

843
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: that Otherwise you're pounding your head against the wall right now.

844
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna continue run the ball, but it may not

845
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: be wide, there may not be things out there that

846
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: we can get, but we're still gonna run the ball.

847
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: But we're gonna do it a different way. That's a

848
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: different section in the playbook. Those are things that they

849
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: didn't have, I think, on the offense in the past,

850
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: but they have the ability to do it now with

851
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: all the different weapons. And to Shaun at quarterback, yeah,

852
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: it's a it's a gearshift thing. I mean, if you

853
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: say that, and I understand Clint's question from last night,

854
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: but if you talk about the offense, well, whose offense

855
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: do you really like? Right? And what is the competition

856
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: that they've faced, Because the competition the Texans have faced

857
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Yeah, and it's gonna be even harder

858
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: next time out when they faced that Patriots defense. So

859
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. And I'm curious the Patriots

860
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: have struggled running the football. We'll see what they try

861
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: to do because the Texans are coming out back to

862
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: back games where it's been tough to stop. But again,

863
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: moment of truth, crunch time, fourth quarter, let's make the stops.

864
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: They made the stops, they win the game. This is

865
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. I can't wait. Last night I felt

866
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: the pressure of the moment, like wow, We've got to

867
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: have this one, Like yeah, gotta gotta get it. And

868
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: it gets the Patriots. I would imagine the Patriots will

869
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: probably be favored coming in of course. So they're the

870
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: Patriots the Sunday night game. What do you got to lose?

871
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: You know, last year you didn't play all that well

872
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: up there and the opener you're for that. You kind

873
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: of stunned them a little bit, bringing into Sean what

874
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: DeShawn can do. But you didn't finish either ballgame, right,

875
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: This is that opportunity to see where you are again.

876
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: It's a measuring stick against a really good team in

877
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: the FC, defending champs. What can you do? And you're

878
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: bringing a whole different arsenal than even you did on

879
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: Sunday against Baltimore, whole different secondary seemingly. Yeah, we'll fuller back,

880
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,959
Speaker 1: which changes the complexion of your offense. So it's gonna

881
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be wild. We're gonna watch the Patriots's

882
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: weekend against the Cowboys and actually cheer for the Cowboys. Oh,

883
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: don't make me say go Cowboys. Do it? Go Coboy Cowboys.

884
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: He said it, Yes, said Mark, appreciate it. Thanks Johnny.

885
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: Coming up next, my ultimate eleven Impact Plays of the

886
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: Night against the Annapolis Colts. That's next in Texas to

887
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: access the shan Awaits the snap on fourth down, takes

888
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: the snap, drops back deep, fires it deep to the

889
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: end zone, and the clock runs out. It is over.

890
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: Texas pull it off in the half less twenty to

891
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: seventeen to retake first play. So the AFC South Heston

892
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: knocks off the Cults. They split the season series and

893
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: they are seven and four of game in front of

894
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: indeed with the Patriots up next. That's how it ended

895
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: last night at NRG Stadium. Welcome back to Texans All Access.

896
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, and it's a it's type

897
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: first segment that I do a full show on. It's

898
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: called Replay Texas Replay. It's on Tuesday nights, eight pm.

899
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I've ever done this after

900
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, but I thought, you know, last

901
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: night was such an exciting game that this should be

902
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: a pretty good time to do, like a condensed version

903
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: of replay the alternate eleven impact plays from that win

904
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: over the Indianapolis Colts. So I scour the highlights, I

905
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: scour the gameplay, and I come up with what I

906
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: think are the most important plays that happened for different reasons,

907
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: try and put them in order. Give me the ultimate

908
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: eleven plays of that game. So you ready, all right,

909
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: start at number eleven, and it was the first historical

910
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: if you will, Jake Martin. The pass rush has been

911
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: in question because no Jj Watt. So whether you lived

912
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: in Houston or your National Rider analyst fan from outside

913
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: the city, everybody's wondering, where is the pass rush gonna

914
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: come from? Well, I'm telling you last night Jacob Martin

915
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: brought it all night, and the pass rush brought it

916
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: all night. But the sack that he gets, I'm telling you,

917
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: chop rip. He was so fast off the ball. Braden

918
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: Smith tried to get hands on him, and Jacob just

919
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: chopped down and then ripped underneath him and got to

920
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette at number eleven was with his first sack

921
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: as a Texan, not his first impact play, but his

922
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: first sack. It's Jacob Martin coming in right here in

923
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: the backfield, was Brissette. It's Jordan Wilkins Bressette short shotgun.

924
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: That's the snap, here's pressure and the set's gonna be sacked.

925
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: Rocked down at that thirty six yard line five Jacob Martin.

926
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: But it's good to see Jake get a sack, his

927
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: first one. He's been back there a few times. You

928
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: should probably have about four or five of them. But

929
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: that impact played big in the first half to get

930
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: the Colts off the field and the ball back to

931
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: the offense, and the offense we'll get something going in

932
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: the first quarter as they were moving down, but they

933
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: got bugged down a little bit and seanted to scramble

934
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: on a third down play. When that happens, who's he

935
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: looking for? Well, could be any number of guys really,

936
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 1: but this one he found his big tight end, Darren Fells.

937
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: Fells would make the catch for a first down which

938
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: would set up the first points of the day at

939
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: Kimie Fairband field goal. Here's Watson the Fells for twenty

940
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: two huge yards. It's at number ten. I'm third and long.

941
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: Martin snapped the Shawan the ball, Watson stepping out to

942
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: the right side. There's the pressure the Sean throwing Daffield

943
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: and he's got an a for a first down out

944
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: of bounds. Darren Fells the tight end with that catch

945
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: up that twenty three yard line um indeed's good for

946
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: twenty two yards. Now numbers nine and eight go together

947
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: in some sense. It's the same result. A Cult's incomplete pass,

948
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: but it was way more than that because of who

949
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: the receiver was that the passes were intended for, and

950
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: that was t Y Hilton. And if you know the

951
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: Colt's history, if you know t Y Hilton's history, especially

952
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 1: in this building, and you know what he said last year, Hey,

953
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: it's like my second home. I come in there and

954
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: I own it. And Jonathan Joseph said, yeah, that's a

955
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: clown comment, you know, coming here and own some building.

956
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: And then in the playoff game, he wears a mask.

957
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: The Colts win, it takes on a life of their

958
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: own its own. When we went at the Indianapolis, he

959
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: had five catches won him turn out to be a touchdown.

960
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: He's been banged up. He was on a little bit

961
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: of a play count. But every time t Y Hilton

962
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: comes into this building, everybody is in tune a little

963
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: bit more, including a guy that was playing his first

964
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: game for the Houston Texans. So on a third down,

965
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brisett looked for t Y Hilton on a deep

966
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: sail route to the Texans sideline. Vernon Hargraves would step

967
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: in and make this pass. Breakup third down and four

968
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: Cults from their thirty four yard line, three man Russian.

969
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: The Texans were set stepping up hit as he throws

970
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: downfield to his left and Hilton drops it. There was

971
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: coverage by Hardgraves and it looks like he either got

972
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: a piece of the ball or certainly distracted Hilton from

973
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: making that reception. Well, that was a great play by Vernon.

974
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: You made a couple of key tackles too, one on

975
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: a third down early in the game that got the

976
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: Colts off the field. With that pass breakup, he did

977
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: get a hand on that which created problems for Hilton.

978
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: Number eight are the two men that I just mentioned,

979
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph and t Y Hilton. These two have faced

980
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: each other from the time that j Joe well for

981
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: the time that t Y Hilton was drafted and joined

982
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts back in twenty twelve. Looking for Hilton

983
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: down the sideline, Jacoby Brissett launched a d pablo and

984
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: looked it was a great throw. It was right on

985
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: the money, but Jonathan Joseph was hip the hip with

986
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, and as Hilton went up for the ball,

987
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: Joseph chopped on his hands. The ball popped out in

988
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: completing the Texas would get the ball back at the

989
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: oat show. JJO with this PBu down and four from

990
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis forty seven yard line was set puts the

991
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: leg down. Here's the snap. Three man rush was set,

992
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: firing down the field right sideline and in complete. Hilton

993
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: the intended receiver, Johnathan Joseph went the coverage veteran on

994
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: veteran and j JO breaks it up. Well, I know

995
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: JJO was happy to make that play. I know it's

996
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: even probably happier it's me. I was freaking out. I

997
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: was so happy, so happy to see a guy wear

998
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: the clown mask and all that kind of get his

999
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: last night. That's kind of nice. Now, our t Y Hilton,

1000
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: if you will, The guy who can fly by everybody

1001
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 1: is Will Fuller and number seven. Here's Will deep down

1002
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: the field, first down and twenty for the Texans from

1003
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: the Houston fifteen. Watson and the gun. Watson takes the snap,

1004
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: throws downfield left sideline, and Fuller with the catch. He's

1005
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: down at the forty cats up. Nobody touched him and

1006
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: he's been finally knocked down and the thirty yard line.

1007
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm indie, big play until Will Fuller Welcome back Will Well.

1008
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: That's got us at number six late in the game,

1009
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: need first downs to keep the Colts offense on the sideline.

1010
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: It's third and I believe about four. What are you

1011
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna do? You're gonna throw the ball to Will Fuller

1012
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what Shaun Watson does at the two

1013
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: minute warning. This would allow the Texans to run the

1014
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: clock out. Will Fuller get it done with this eleven

1015
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: yard first down catch on third down and four from

1016
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: the Houston forty seven, Deshaan calls football. Here's the snap,

1017
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: four man rush. Watson throws left side and he's got

1018
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,760
Speaker 1: a man Fuller for the first out of the cold,

1019
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: forty one yard high twisted down there by more than

1020
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: the Texans half the ball in Indianapolis territory with a

1021
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: minute forty eight to go. It's a lot of talk

1022
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: about Will Fuller, and deservedly so. Sean Watson a brilliant game,

1023
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: brilliant game. That throw may have been his best. That

1024
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: throw Will was actually tightly covered and somehow De Sean

1025
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: put it into one spot where Will could get it

1026
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: and nobody else could. That was a heck of a throw.

1027
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: Kennymore was draped on Will didn't matter. Number five is

1028
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: a play that I don't know that anybody's really talking about.

1029
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the key plays of

1030
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: the game to start the fourth quarter. And Mark said

1031
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: this earlier in the show as he went into the

1032
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. And the Texans are down seventeenth, third team,

1033
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: they've got the ball. I remember thinking, Okay, fifteen minutes

1034
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: to see what this team is made of. They see

1035
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: if they've got it in him to put together a drive,

1036
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: we're two, If the defense has got stops in him, etc.

1037
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: This fourth quarter will tell us a lot about this

1038
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: team's On the first play of the fourth quarter, the

1039
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: Sean went under center and he gave the ball to

1040
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide and I had talked to Bill Brown at

1041
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: halftime and he just said, they're taking away our wide runs,

1042
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: which that's what the Colts do. That's that's the cold

1043
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: strength of speed. They've got speed a lot of places,

1044
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: but they're not big squad up front. Grover Stewart is

1045
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: a guy that can create some problems because he is

1046
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: strong as an ox. Marcus Hunt because he's just tall,

1047
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: awkward and big, but he's not three hundred fifteen three

1048
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: hund twenty pounds. He's two hundred and ninety So those

1049
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: guys are tough to move at times. But if you

1050
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: go right at him, you got a better chance. And

1051
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: that's what they did here. Blocks up front were perfect.

1052
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: Nick Martin worked a double team with Max sharping off

1053
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: to a line backer and now linebacker Anthony Walker got

1054
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: just a hand on Carlos Hide, but not enough to

1055
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: slow him down. The first play the fourth quarter comes

1056
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: in at number five. Carlos Hide rumbles for thirty three

1057
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: huge yards first down to Sean hands off. Hive has

1058
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 1: a whole left side thirty thirty five forty forty five fifty,

1059
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: cutting back fifty down across the forty five yards high

1060
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: and Coos territory about forty two. Carlos Hide, big pop

1061
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: for El Guapo thirty three yards. Now, that was the

1062
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: big plan to go ahead drive, but the Texans needed

1063
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: to get back in the end zone. Earlier in the game,

1064
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: they're down seven to three. Needed to get in the

1065
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 1: end zone. Sean Watson went back to pass and then

1066
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: and I wish I could tell you exactly what the

1067
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 1: Colts were doing. I don't know what they were doing.

1068
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: Dashaun even said it after the game. He said, I

1069
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: don't know what the safety and corner we're doing, but

1070
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: somehow they let the best wide receiver in the game

1071
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: just run right past him. Sean moved out of the

1072
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 1: pocket found DeAndre Hopkins at number four. It's number four

1073
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: to number ten. But the first touchdown of the night,

1074
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: second of thirteen at the Cults thirty five bells tight

1075
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: to the line and two to the right side. Here's

1076
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: the snap to the shawn stepping out to the right,

1077
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: plants throwing team got a man wide open to Andre Hopkins.

1078
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: Rock and roll touchdown, Houston, tex Oh. That was fun

1079
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: and there was nobody there. I just remember seeing Deshaun

1080
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching DeShawn and I've seen him scramble and I

1081
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: see him throw and I look at me, Okay, where's

1082
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: he throwing? And I into the microphone. I'm like Hopkins

1083
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: because he's wide open. He's just wide open. Made no sense.

1084
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: Number four, that first touchdown, number three, it's this fourth

1085
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: down stop by Brendan Scarlett. What a tremendous defensive play,

1086
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: and they were. There were a bunch of defensive plays

1087
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: that stood out. I mean, look, the run defense got

1088
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: gassed a little bit, especially on a couple of drives,

1089
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: but there were a number of big, big defensive plays.

1090
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: This was the biggest. And he comes at number three.

1091
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm fourth down, Ebron motioning in the backfield. Brossette puts

1092
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: the light down. Here's the snap was set with a

1093
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: little time. Scrambles out to the right. Brissette's stepping up.

1094
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: He's got too much time. He's running for it, and

1095
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: Brissette is down short of the first down at the

1096
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: forty yard line. Brennan Scarlet brings him down. Brissette almost

1097
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: got there, but not enough, and the Texans takeover on downs.

1098
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: Huge play for this defense. I was down field on

1099
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: that plate a lot of times. I try and line

1100
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: up at the line of scrammings if I can, but

1101
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: that the I can't. I can only go out to

1102
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: the like thirty five or forty. So I actually went

1103
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: down the field. I was actually watching in case the

1104
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, the pass play came down field. So when

1105
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: Brissette scrambles, it felt like he was scrambling for a

1106
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot more than seven yards. What

1107
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: I realized is he had a really deep drop, so

1108
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: that had to account for some of it. So when

1109
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 1: Mark says he stopped him at my angle, I can't tell.

1110
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten it, and Marks like he's got

1111
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: him short of the first down. I'm like, are you sure, Mark?

1112
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: And then I like run up to where the first

1113
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: down stick is and I'm like, oh, he's short. Then

1114
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: I started freaking out. What a great play there by

1115
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: Brennan Scarlett, the hustle, the great tackle. My goodness. We

1116
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: talked about will Fuller a lot. He had a forty

1117
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: four yard catch, He had that key catch for a

1118
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: first down. He also had this fifty one yard bomb

1119
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: that led to a key field goal to cut the

1120
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: leap from seventeen ten for the Colts to seventeen thirteen.

1121
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: This was the first play after that drive, Will Fuller

1122
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: with Kenny Moore hanging all over him. And it's at

1123
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: number two, first down Texans at the Houston twenty five

1124
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 1: yard line, high to the backfield. Watson fakes to give

1125
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: mini boot looking and he's gonna air it out deep.

1126
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: Watson looking Daffield and he's got him at inside that

1127
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line. Will Fuller. But other huge play

1128
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: one A difference fifteen makes, oh yes, And what a

1129
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: difference number ten has made from the day he has

1130
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: set foot in this building after being drafted in twenty

1131
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: thirteen at number one. Well, it was kind of obvious,

1132
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: but it needed to be down seventeen thirteen Colts impressed

1133
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: man coverage on hop on the outside, Deshaun Watson went

1134
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: to his man, DeAndre Hopkins for the second time. Mama

1135
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: got a second football, thankfully, and it comes in at

1136
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: number one, second and ten at the Colts thirty empty backfield.

1137
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: After Johnson goes in motion to the right side second down,

1138
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: Watson gets the snap of the years. It out deep

1139
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: down the outside, wats DeAndre Hopkins and new Brakes to

1140
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: catch for another touchdown the Texas eight ten lead man.

1141
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: What a catch that was. I thought initially that Deshaun

1142
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: had overthrown him. I could see hop beat the seer

1143
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,439
Speaker 1: and I could I knew that was where the ball

1144
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: should go just watching that. But as I'm watched, tracking

1145
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: the ball in my eyes and seeing where Hop is,

1146
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, no, you overthrew him. And then I

1147
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,439
Speaker 1: realized Deander is getting close enough that if he gets

1148
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: a hand on it, he's got a chance. And that's

1149
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: what he got his left hand on. He almost made

1150
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: it one hand to catch. He got the left hand

1151
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: to kind of pull it close to him and he

1152
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: snatched it with his other hand before he hit the

1153
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: ground and made that catch. And I loved it for

1154
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. Number one, he beats Pierre to

1155
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: seer man coverage. The safety outside Lee Cooker jump was

1156
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: looking to jump route so he can't. He came closer

1157
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: to line of scrammage, so it was truly Pierre to

1158
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: seer one on one with Hop, and Hop's kind of

1159
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: even with him at first and then pulls away from him,

1160
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: and Deshaan just drops a nugget. I mean, you talk

1161
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: about beautiful. My goodness, what a throw. And the protection

1162
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: was brilliant and so on. At play, I'm on the

1163
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,919
Speaker 1: sideline and when the Texans get down in the red zone,

1164
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: team doctor Walter Lowe, Doctor Lowe will go with the team.

1165
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: He'll like move down so he can watch just in

1166
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: case somebody gets hurt something you know, happens. He can

1167
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: see it and then get out to the field right away.

1168
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: And so over the years, you know, you know, doctor

1169
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: Lowe will come down and you know we'll score it.

1170
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: I'll be standing there and he'll like grab my shoulders

1171
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: and get excited, and you know, sometimes he'll come down

1172
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: and we'll like just fist, bump and whatever and just

1173
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: watch it. So he's standing next to me and the

1174
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: ball goes in the air and Hop catches it and

1175
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: he like kind of runs towards it a little bit

1176
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: and then stops and you can tell his clap and celebrated.

1177
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: I just like, yeah, I just spatzed out and just

1178
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: jumped on him, gave him a big hug, and I

1179
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: was like, oh, wait a second. If I hit and

1180
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: hurt doctor low man, who's gonna look at players they

1181
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: get hurt in the field. And I said to the

1182
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: locker room, was like, man, I'm so sorry. I just

1183
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna spats down and he goes, no, I'll do that

1184
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: was awesome. That was very cool. It's a great play,

1185
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: and it was. It was a great play, and it's

1186
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 1: number one on our Ultimate eleven. We'll do more reap

1187
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: play on Tuesday. But that just gives you a little

1188
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: flavor of what I thought about this game on Thursday evening.

1189
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: All right, there are still NFL games to be played

1190
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: this weekend. I will pick all of them straight up

1191
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,959
Speaker 1: and against the spread. Next right here in Texas, all Access. Yes,

1192
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: your Texans got a twenty seventeen win over in Annapolis

1193
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Colts last night, but there are plenty of NFL games

1194
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: going on this weekend. So we're gonna do what we

1195
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: always do. I'm your host, John Harris on this Friday

1196
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access, and every single week and

1197
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: about this time, I predict every game straight up and

1198
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: against the spread. It's fun to do. It's fun to

1199
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: talk about the league this way, and it's not necessarily

1200
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: for the duckets that you can earn all that kind

1201
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: of So it's just a fun way to talk about

1202
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: each and every game in the NFL. Now, what's interesting,

1203
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: you will, is there is no game prior. All right,

1204
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: take it back. There's the last three games of the

1205
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: aft of the Sunday afternoon and Monday. Those are the

1206
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: only games that feature two teams with winning records. Cowboys Patriots.

1207
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,439
Speaker 1: That's at three twenty five on Sunday, Packers forty nine Ers.

1208
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,959
Speaker 1: That's your Sunday night game that was flexed into that game,

1209
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and then Ravens Rams on Monday night. Go Rams, Let's

1210
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: go Rams. Let's go Rams. All right, So we've got

1211
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: some rooting interests. But when it comes to picking games,

1212
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm a mercenary. It doesn't matter what my rooting interests is.

1213
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: I will tell you straight up and against spread what

1214
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,439
Speaker 1: I think. But to pick all these games, I need

1215
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 1: my music. And so there it is. All right. Let's

1216
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: start with the NFC South Battle. The Texans have beaten

1217
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: one of these teams, and we'll play the other one

1218
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: in December. And that's the Bucks traveling to the Falcons.

1219
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: The Falcons are a three and a half point favorite

1220
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: and playing much much better. Raheem Morris went from wide

1221
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: receivers coach to defensive play caller. Yes, do that math,

1222
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers coach, defensive play caller. He's a former defensive

1223
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: coordinator and it's done a great job. The Falcons defense

1224
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: has responded the Falcons in general. I responded, I think

1225
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: if Falcons will pound the Buccaneers, and maybe pound is

1226
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: a strong word, but they'll win this one. I think

1227
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: by ten. That's one of three and a half. Take

1228
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: the Falcons to win and to cover the Broncos travel

1229
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: to the Bills. I'd like to see you. I don't

1230
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: know what I'd like to see in this one. I

1231
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: don't know if we have a rooting interest, but Buffaloes

1232
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: favored by three and a half. Brandon all played pretty

1233
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: well for the Broncos last week, but didn't finish the

1234
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: deal against the Vikings. They lost a big lead in

1235
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: the second half, then got down down four, got down

1236
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: inside the five yard line, couldn't punch one in to

1237
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: get the win. I think that might linger for a

1238
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Buffalo at home. I'm rolling with it. Low scoring,

1239
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: so are ticked under. But take the Buffalo Bills to

1240
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: cover that three and a half and beat the Broncos

1241
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: at home. The Giants go to the Bears. Daniel Jones

1242
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: against Mitch Trubisky. Get excited, everybody. The Bears are favored

1243
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: by six. Take the Bears to win that. I don't

1244
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: know anything about the Giants. Where I go, yeah, yeah,

1245
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: the Giants to two and eight, and I don't know.

1246
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't don't love them at all. Let's take the Bears.

1247
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't love the Bears, that's for sure. Take the

1248
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: Bears to win. I'll take them to cover. When anybody

1249
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 1: touchdown to win by seven, I'll take that. Steelers are

1250
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: five and five, the Bengals are oh and ten. The

1251
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: games in Cincinnati, it doesn't matter Pittsburgh's favory by six

1252
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: and a half, but taking the Steelers to win that

1253
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: one bouncing back after a loss to the Cleveland Browns,

1254
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: and you know what happened with that the end of

1255
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: that game. The Steelers will not have Marquise Pouncy, but

1256
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph will be there. That's enough. Pittsburgh will win

1257
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: that by at least a touchdown. That's more than six

1258
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,919
Speaker 1: and a half. So give the Steelers to win and

1259
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the cover. The Dolphins travel to the Browns. I said

1260
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago looking at the schedule

1261
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: for the Browns. They're going to be in this thing

1262
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: in December. The games they have on the schedule are

1263
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: not daunting, and this is one of them. They should

1264
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: be able to get to five and six at the

1265
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: end of the weekend. Do they get the cover at

1266
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: ten and a half? I'm gonna say no. I think

1267
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: Miami will get inside the ten and a half. So

1268
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: let's take Browns straight up Dolphins to cover that ten

1269
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: and a half. Panthers go to the Saints. A lot

1270
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: to talk about Kyle Allen and what Kyle Allen has

1271
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: done at quarterback for the Panthers, but there have been

1272
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: some cracks in the armor the last couple of weeks,

1273
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: and as a result, the Panthers have fallen to five

1274
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: and five. Christian McCaffrey was just named a ninety nine

1275
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: overall rating on Maden. Won't matter, Saints, we'll win this one.

1276
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: Spreads ten. I don't know. I love that, but in

1277
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: the Dome, I'll take it lay those ten. Take New

1278
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Orleans to cover it straight up and against the spread.

1279
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Saints are they called? The Raiders are six and four,

1280
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: got travel across country to take on the Jets, and

1281
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be nine o'clock body o'clock time for nine o'clock,

1282
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: ten o'clock, ten o'clock body o'clock time for the Raiders.

1283
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: Ye ever liked those games, But Olden's favored by three.

1284
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't think even though the Jets have gotten a

1285
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: couple of wins, I wouldn't say the Jets are resurgent,

1286
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: as I've heard this week. I think the Raiders are

1287
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna eat this one out. Running game and defense travel,

1288
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: and the Raiders defense is better, people think, and the

1289
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: running game is stout, stout, stout. So take the Raiders

1290
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: to cover that barely and get the win, Seahawks go

1291
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: to Philly. It's an interesting one. The Seahawks have been

1292
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: great at times and at times you go what are

1293
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: they doing? Beginning of the year, they beat the Bengals

1294
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: by one at home, they didn't go to overtime and

1295
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: gets a three and seven bucks. But then they go

1296
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: on the road. They beat San Francis going on Monday

1297
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: night and overtime, beat Pittsburgh by two at Pittsburgh. Now

1298
01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: it's the Eagles. The Eagles score. Philly's favored by one.

1299
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: I kind of would like to see the Eagles win

1300
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: this to get back into the race and the NFC North.

1301
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the Eagles to win. It's goot

1302
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles to win, and it's pretty much straight up,

1303
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: so Eagles to win and to cover. The Lions and

1304
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: reds Oh god, well, h Detroit's favored by three and

1305
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: a half in this one. I almost don't even want

1306
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: to pick that. You know what, I'm gonna go with

1307
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: the Redskins. I'm gonna go with Dwayne Askins to get

1308
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: a win and that obviously we'll get you a cover.

1309
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: So Redskins to win in an upset and get the

1310
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: straight up cover. AFC South. This will be in the afternoon,

1311
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: only two games in the afternoon. The Jags go to

1312
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: the Titans. Now, last time the Jaguars went to Tennessee,

1313
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry ran for about a million yards, including an

1314
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: NFL record ninety nine yard touchdown run that put the

1315
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: game out of reach. The Jags have gotten pounded the

1316
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: last two games by AFC South opponents, by US in

1317
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: London and then last week by the Colts. I don't

1318
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: think the Titans will do that to them. I think

1319
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: this one will be close. In fact, I think it's

1320
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: three or less. Titans are favored by three and a half,

1321
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna take the Jags to cover to make

1322
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: it close for the Titans to win that one straight up.

1323
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the three heavies. Cowboys be

1324
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:30,439
Speaker 1: Patriots in Gillette. At Gillette, New England favored by six

1325
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: and a half. I would love to see the Cowboys

1326
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,959
Speaker 1: do something against that Patriots defense. On the flip side,

1327
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense is struggled, but there's no latent vander Esh.

1328
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't love that six and a half. I do

1329
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: think New England wins straight up, but I do think

1330
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will keep it close. They'll get inside the

1331
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: six and halves take Patriots to win, Cowboys to cover.

1332
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Packers go to San Francisco. San Francisco's only a three

1333
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: point favorite. Forty nine Ers lost on Monday Night a

1334
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: couple of weekends ago or a couple weeks ago, but

1335
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: I think they'll get this one against the Packers. The

1336
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Packers went to Kse beat the Chiefs on Sunday night,

1337
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: but I think this time the forty nine Ers get them.

1338
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers win that one at home and cover

1339
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: the three. And Monday Night, the Ravens travel all the

1340
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: way to face the La Rams Baltimore. Favored by three.

1341
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Rams in an upset in an upset.

1342
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: The Ravens have been good, really really good this one.

1343
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm going with my heart in my head. My heart

1344
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: says La. So I'm going my head. I'm going with it.

1345
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: The Rams in it upset on Monday Night football. So

1346
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 1: there you go. Those are your picks, straight up and

1347
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: against the spread. All right, we get back, howbody? James

1348
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Paul from NFL Network joins us right here on Texas

1349
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 1: All Access. We got one finals segment of this Friday

1350

1352
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: to the players in the final segment, but because we

1353
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: had a game last night, because the things going on

1354
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: and we don't have all the things we normally would

1355
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: have is in short weeks, so we don't have play Reporter.

1360

1362
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: James Palmer and the NFL Network formerly of CS and Houston,

1363
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: has been here for the last week or so covering

1364
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: the Texans and Ravens, Texans and Colts, and he stepped

1365
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: in with Mark Vandimir to discuss all things NFL. Mark, James,

1366
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: it's been a while since we've spoken in this manner,

1367
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: I know, and it has been far too long in

1368
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 1: my opinion, probably not yours, but it's been too long. Mark,

1369
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: and you've been here, but it's just, you know, people

1370
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: get busy. I mean, I want to drag you in here.

1371
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 1: And you're doing your TV hits on NFL Network. Usually

1372
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm on NFL Network doing the hits in the room

1373
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: next to you, and every time you walk by, you

1374
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: kind of give me like a hen and then the

1375
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 1: door slams when you get past me. It's usually what happens.

1376
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,560
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming that's not a very welcoming sign to

1377
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: come in. We just have so much going on here.

1378
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: You know that it's like seven content generation, which you

1379
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: do as well what they want. Yeah. So from a

1380
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: national perspective, is the division underrated? Properly rated? How is

1381
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: it rated? James? Uh? Well, things have really swayed this year, right,

1382
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we thought we thought the Eagles were going

1383
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: to come out like Gangbusters and it was gonna be

1384
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: nuts in the NFC East between them and the Cowboys,

1385
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: and now they Eagles have struggled, and um, I think

1386
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 1: the AFC West is a little bit better than we

1387
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: thought it would be. With the way the Raiders are playing.

1388
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: I think we thought the Chiefs would just wipe everybody out.

1389
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Chiefs lost that game on Monday night.

1390
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: They were they were not going to be in first place,

1391
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: right like the Raiders. And so I have that game

1392
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: actually in two weeks Chiefs Raiders. That'll be a good one.

1393
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 1: She'll be a good one. So in this division, I

1394
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: do think it's it's kind of where everybody thought with

1395
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: what Andrew did right before the start of the season.

1396
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think everybody was going to go, I

1397
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: think this is this is the Colts with the way

1398
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: they played down the stretch. Nobody I think in Houston

1399
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: would deny the way they played the second half of

1400
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 1: the season, that that would roll into this year and

1401
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: the Colts would be a really tough team. Um, I

1402
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: don't think I am run about way to say. I

1403
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: don't think the Colts are getting enough credit for the

1404
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: team that I think they are. I think the Texans

1405
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: were getting enough attention leading into that Ravens game. I mean,

1406
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: we everybody from NFL Network on down build that as

1407
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: the game of the season so far. I did not

1408
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: turn out the way Texans fans would have wanted it too,

1409
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: but that shows you the and I think Deshaun has

1410
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: a lot to do with that. The national attention, the

1411
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 1: Texans were getting. It's funny like Tennessee's sitting there at

1412
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: five and five, like behind both these teams, it's right there.

1413
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: It's wild. And I did their game in at home

1414
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: in Nashville against the against the Chiefs, and I'm standing

1415
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: there on the sideline. I'm like, I'm gonna be interviewing

1416
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill as soon as we hit zeros and then

1417
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, they botched the snap right in front of me,

1418
01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: and I go, guys, we might have to go to

1419
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 1: the other side of the field. And Ryan Tannehill is like, man,

1420
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: he has changed everything there. I mean I watched them

1421
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,440
Speaker 1: go into their tunnel and Vrabel was just waiting for

1422
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 1: Ryan to come off the field after he did his interview,

1423
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: and the two just had like the world's largest hug

1424
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 1: before they got into the locker room. And it's like

1425
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: it took a lot of stones, I think for Mike

1426
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: to flip it, because Marcus Marita is a very well

1427
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: liked dude in that locker room. Great guy, great person.

1428
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: But to say like this is the switch we need

1429
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: to make and it is has worked in Tennessee. I mean,

1430
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: what you had to go through there reminds me of

1431
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 1: switching the champagne from the Red Sox hu to right,

1432
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: you know, and ye, like it was free for all,

1433
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: Like who am I going to get on the field?

1434
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: I ended up talking to Adam Humphries because that was

1435
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: his only catch of the game, was the touchdown catch

1436
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: that won. Oh my gosh, and h I ended up

1437
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: finding him and just started talking with him because, you know,

1438
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: I figured that he would be a good one to grab,

1439
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,759
Speaker 1: but it was. It was a wild one there. Uh.

1440
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: And so do you think the Titans have a shot

1441
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: to get back into this division race? No? I don't

1442
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: think they're as good as either the Texans or the Colts.

1443
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't. But just the funny the reason I brought

1444
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: it up is like the Titans are five and five, right,

1445
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: but right ahead of these two teams that we all

1446
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: say are the two best teams in the division, right,

1447
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: and then just they're not that far behind right now

1448
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: record wise? All right, So, the Colts beat the Chiefs

1449
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Was at that game? You were at

1450
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 1: that game? You mentioned Mexico City and the Chiefs beating

1451
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers. But boy, that was really iffy for a while.

1452
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Philip Rivers throwing his fourth pick driving for

1453
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: a game tying score and all of that. The Chiefs

1454
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: look a little shaky to me on the defensive side

1455
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 1: of the ball. Maybe what do you make of them? Little?

1456
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: I think an understatement on them defensively. I think, you know,

1457
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: when I covered that game where the Colts played them,

1458
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: I didn't know why pregame, but I was talking to

1459
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 1: Frank Reig and he was like, you have no idea

1460
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: how confident we are coming into this game. And at

1461
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: that point that was before right, they had beaten the

1462
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: Ravens and they hadn't played you guys yet, right, And

1463
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: I was like, why is this guy so confident? And

1464
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: they just ran the ball down their throat and I

1465
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: mean they and then you guys ran the ball well

1466
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: against them, and I just I think the defense has

1467
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: a lot of issues. Now it can get better. Usually,

1468
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: to tell you know, when you change coordinators on the

1469
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, most people are on the

1470
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: league tell me it takes you good six eight games

1471
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: to start getting to where you want to be. But

1472
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 1: they have trouble at corner. I think tyrone was a

1473
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: good move in the middle, but you you had two

1474
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: really good pass rushers and now you kind of you

1475
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: got rid of both of them, and Justin Houston, who

1476
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: will be here Thursday, and d Ford and you just

1477
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: bring in just Frank Clark. Now, he played brilliantly Monday night,

1478
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: but he hasn't done what the two of them were

1479
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: doing last year. They were lucky where they were in

1480
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: terms of red zone defense, turnovers and sacks. They don't

1481
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: have that this year. So I do think there's there's

1482
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a lot of worry there and what they did offensively,

1483
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: it's just hard to replicate that two years in a row.

1484
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: I still think pat is brilliant. I think he is fantastic,

1485
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: but to do what they did offensively again is those

1486
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: are tough numbers to put up there. You've got to

1487
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 1: be healthy. Things have to be clicking, okay. James Palmer

1488
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,839
Speaker 1: with us NFL Network, Now, the Eagles and the Patriots

1489
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: got together last weekend, and it's kind of strange when

1490
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 1: you think that two teams that participated in a Super

1491
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 1: Bowl a couple of years ago play a close, one

1492
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: score game, and the narrative after the game is what's

1493
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: wrong with the Eagles and what's wrong with the Patriots.

1494
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: It's what's wrong with both teams and the Patriots nine

1495
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: and one. I've never seen so many what's wrong with

1496
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: this nine and one team, Yet it's happening because of

1497
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: the offense for New England exactly. And that's been you know,

1498
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: something that's been the narrative this entire year is this

1499
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: is the best defense. And I think Brady's comments are

1500
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: the ones that are magnifying a lot of what we're

1501
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: talking about right Like, this is maybe the best defense

1502
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: he's ever played with, and that's saying something to where

1503
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: defense has won him his early Super bowls. This defense

1504
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: is incredible and how opportunistic they are. Brady's out there

1505
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: literally saying like, we're gonna have to change. And this

1506
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: is the greatest thing about Brady is that each year

1507
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: he changes how he plays the position, which I think

1508
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: is incredible. If you have Randy Moss and company, I'll

1509
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: go throw it all over the place. If you need

1510
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,759
Speaker 1: me to run the football, we can run the football.

1511
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: He will do anything to win. But now he's sitting

1512
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: there with a mentality like, as long as we don't

1513
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: turn the football over and we can get three Like

1514
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: it's it's remarkable because that Eagles defense is not what

1515
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: we thought it would be. We thought it'd be a

1516
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,959
Speaker 1: really good group up front, and they've been decimated by injuries.

1517
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: Philly has had their problems, but you're right this. I

1518
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen people be worried about a nine and one team,

1519
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's kind of what happens if you

1520
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: spend any time up there. I think you've spent some

1521
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,680
Speaker 1: time up there, like it's worry at all costs. But

1522
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of skill players. It was

1523
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: a trick play that won the game, right, I mean

1524
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 1: Edeman throws a touchdown pass. He's four and four and

1525
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: now perfect quarterback rating for his career. He throws a

1526
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 1: touchdown pass that wins the game, and that's what you

1527
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 1: have to do to beat an Eagles team. That's that's

1528
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: kind of struggling, right. It's a little interesting. Yeah, it's

1529
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: weird because Dallas will visit the Patriots, and I guess

1530
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: I have to root for the Cowboys, which I don't

1531
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: like to do, but that's the number one offense in

1532
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: the league. For you. Yeah, it's gonna be tough, but

1533
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 1: the Patriots are here the following week. Do you want

1534
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 1: him fat and happy? Do you want him miserable? I

1535
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 1: don't know what I want, But the Cowboys will be

1536
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: up there. What do you make of that? Because you

1537
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: do have an offense that's pretty prolific this year anyway

1538
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: against a really good defense, Yeah, it's gonna You know,

1539
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: what does Bill do better than anybody else? Takes away

1540
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: what you do best? Right? He always tries to find

1541
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: a way. We saw Stephan Gilmore on on zach Ertz,

1542
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, on Sunday for like a good chunk of plays,

1543
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: So what arts is your go to guy? Let's try

1544
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: to find a way to take away here? It so

1545
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: like the interesting part about it is Zeke has been

1546
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,719
Speaker 1: averaging I think it's like below three yards a carry

1547
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: over the last hand handful of games, and it was

1548
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: always Zeke does this and he bangs the rock and

1549
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: he handles it and that opens things up for Dak. Well,

1550
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing right now out over the last cool weeks

1551
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: this things have been flipped and it's Dak's the one

1552
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: who's taking care of business. And then maybe hopefully the

1553
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 1: run game gets movie. I want to see what they

1554
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: try to take away from from that Dallas offense because

1555
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: we've seen them work differently as the years has gone on.

1556
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: You am I describing that right like, so I could

1557
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: see them being focused, like, all right, Zeke hasn't been

1558
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: doing it. Let's think about shutting this down. And then

1559
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Zeke goes off. So I think that's gonna be the

1560
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: interesting part about how they play them. But they'd just

1561
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: better than almost anybody. I mean, the Eagles marched, had

1562
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: that ninety five yard drive, which was the longest drive

1563
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots have given up in forever, and what happens

1564
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: They don't score another point because they had a game

1565
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: plan which Doug Peterson came up with. It was really

1566
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 1: really good because they don't have any wide receivers. We're

1567
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 1: gonna do this, this and this. Well, then Bill goes

1568
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: and adjust what they're doing defensively, and the Eagles can't

1569
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 1: they get on the board again. So I think it's

1570
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 1: gonna be what does Bill try to take away first?

1571
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: And then how does Ken down us adjust because we

1572
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: know Bill's going to adjust again. You mentioned Mahomes and

1573
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and how they're not high flying like they

1574
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: were last year. Yet here they are seven and four,

1575
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: so they're doing okay relatively but relatively to this year.

1576
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:16,759
Speaker 1: But ye have the Rams with a Super Bowl encore

1577
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 1: they appeared in the Super Bowl encore performance, and they're

1578
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: not really lighting it up, and they're having some issues

1579
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: on both sides of the football. And look, they might

1580
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: be in good shape here overall when it's all said

1581
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 1: and done. But they'll host the Ravens on Monday night,

1582
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: and my gosh, I mean Baltimore. I just saw them

1583
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: up close and personal and they are a lot to handle.

1584
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 1: What do you think of that one? What do you

1585
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 1: think of McVeagh at this stage? It's a tough spot, right,

1586
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, And he did so much self evaluating after

1587
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I mean almost to the point where

1588
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: it was almost nauseating to breaking down to what he

1589
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: did wrong and what he thought he could have done

1590
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: differently in that Super Bowl. But I think facts are

1591
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: facts in terms of players make plays, and they're not

1592
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: the same offensive line, and you know, you don't have

1593
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the same group up front. Todd Gurley is in my

1594
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 1: opinion from talking well not really, I guess it's my opinion,

1595
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 1: my educated opinion from the people I've talked to, is

1596
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: he's probably not going to be the same running back

1597
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: that he was, probably for the rest of his career.

1598
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 1: So you change in that fact all of a sudden,

1599
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: a Keeb Talib gets a thousand years old overnight, and

1600
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 1: your secondary isn't what you thought it would be. Obviously,

1601
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: they made the big move that they did, but they

1602
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: don't have the same team. They really don't, you know,

1603
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 1: And that's been kind of I don't know why people

1604
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: don't talk about it as much like, oh, what's going

1605
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: on with the Rams, Like they can't do it against

1606
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: it's not the same players, right, So I do think

1607
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it. I don't see how

1608
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 1: they could beat the Ravens. I really don't. Like I said,

1609
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: I forget who I was on with somewhere in this country.

1610
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: They said ranked the top three AFC teams, and I

1611
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: was like, I think the Ravens are number one. And

1612
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: that was before they played you guys on Sunday. And

1613
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: because I spent so much time with them during training

1614
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: camp and I've done a couple of their games, and

1615
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: the manner in which they go about everything is they

1616
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 1: probably have the best secondary ball yep. They and they

1617
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 1: add Marcus Peters and get Jimmy Smith helpie like they're

1618
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: good on all three levels of their defense. They run

1619
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: the football consistently. Mark Ingram is maybe one of the

1620
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: least talked about great pickups that a team has made

1621
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: this offseason. And Lamar plays. I see so many comparisons

1622
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 1: between Lamar and De Shaun, not just on the field,

1623
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,720
Speaker 1: but off the field. He runs that building like he

1624
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: knows everyone's name, from the janitor to the you know,

1625
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: to the ownership. Like he is as Mark Ingram would say,

1626
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: the dude, and it's it's incredible. When I did a

1627
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: joint practice with them against against the Jaguars, it's one

1628
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: on one drills and he doesn't have Hollywood Brown out there,

1629
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: and he's throwing dimes to like Willie Snead and like,

1630
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: I can't even think. I think Jordan Matthews was there

1631
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: at like a time and like I'm like, you're doing

1632
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: this over a J Boya and Jalen Ramsey. How is

1633
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: this hat? Like you could see it during training camp.

1634
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: And he's only gotten better each week. So I don't know,

1635
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: unless something crazy happens injury wise, I don't don't see how.

1636
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't see how the Ravens don't continue to do

1637
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: what they've been doing. That's the key thing. I mean,

1638
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: he's improving. You know, they all got to get better,

1639
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 1: and you got to continue to do it otherwise you

1640
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 1: cover three tight ends. I mean it's hard to have

1641
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: the talent level on your defense to cover those three guys.

1642
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 1: They use them uniquely. James Palmer, NFL Network with us.

1643
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 1: All right, so how's your life? A lot of travel ye,

1644
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 1: last weekend off? Yeah, so, which was crazy. Yeah, it

1645
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 1: doesn't happen usually to me. But I did the whole

1646
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: week in London with you guys, and then I came

1647
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: back and you gotta buy I know what? No? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1648
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: I guess two weeks later. Yeah, because I did your

1649
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 1: guys game, and immediately when I got back, we knew

1650
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes was going to be coming back. So I went

1651
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: to Kansas City for the week to be with you know,

1652
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: Pat's returning, and then then I went to Nashville and

1653
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: did the game. Then I saw you guys a little

1654
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 1: bit last week leading into the Ravens game, and they're like,

1655
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: you know what, You're gonna be here all week this week? Uh?

1656
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: And then I have Chiefs Raiders. I don't know what

1657
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: I have. Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah. So man, Yeah,

1658
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 1: we've kind of been all over. It's been cool to

1659
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: catch some of these teams as they've gotten hot too,

1660
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: and kind of seen teams early in camp that we

1661
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: had a guest we're gonna be good, and now it's

1662
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: kind of happening as we're coming around. But now it's

1663
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: like I got this little mini buy in the middle here,

1664
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: because when the end of the season hits, it's it's,

1665
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, my child forgets who I am and my

1666
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 1: wife doesn't think she's married. And just because the playoffs happened,

1667
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: and you spend the entire week in that city during

1668
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right, it's not like pop in for a

1669
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 1: couple of days and then do the game. It's you're

1670
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: there for the entire and the Broncos are unlikely they

1671
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 1: are not gonna make the playoffs. I have not spent much.

1672
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,600
Speaker 1: The Broncos have not. I do think Vic Fangio is

1673
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: a good coach. I do think that, um he's gonna

1674
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: do some really really good things there. But they've been close.

1675
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's been unbelievable. I mean it's been

1676
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: that would happen against Minnesota was remarkable, but they've had

1677
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,800
Speaker 1: three other teams just marched down the field with less

1678
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: than two minutes to go, and win the game against them,

1679
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: and that's that's crazy. But the Colts game. I was

1680
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: there for the Bears game, which was a last second

1681
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: field goal Jackson him three times. Yeah, the Jags game, Yeah,

1682
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: the Jags was the other one where the Jags marched

1683
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: down the field and so but anyway, the way they've played,

1684
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: I haven't been spending much time at home, so my

1685
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 1: homes are like here, Kansas City, Baltimore, Indie. Yeah, those

1686
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: are kind of my homes right now. What do you

1687
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: make of Kubiak in Minnesota? And you and I both

1688
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,160
Speaker 1: saw him this week doing some media stuff and it

1689
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: was kind of a strange site. Kubiak in a Vikings hoodie. Yeah, right,

1690
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 1: but it's the same Kubiak stance. It's the hands in

1691
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the hoodie, the shoulders kind of forward,

1692
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,679
Speaker 1: kind of just got the feet rocking back and forth.

1693
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: And it's the same, you know guy that you've seen

1694
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: in all of the stops that he's had. And I've

1695
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 1: I've put it out there a couple of times I

1696
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: think on Twitter in the last maybe month, like he's

1697
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: one of those people. And it's probably because you know

1698
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Gary very well and I know Gary very well. Super underrated,

1699
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: and I think people should look at his kind of

1700
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: his coaching tree if you want to call it Gary,

1701
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody will ever called it Gary as

1702
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: a coaching tree, but um, super underrated guy. And I

1703
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 1: think what he's done in Minnesota was perfect because one

1704
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 1: thing is Kirk Cousins is not an easy dude to

1705
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:09,639
Speaker 1: get along with. He is a driven individual that wants

1706
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,639
Speaker 1: things done one hundred miles an hour in his way,

1707
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,680
Speaker 1: and I think Gary is the perfect guy to kind

1708
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: of be in there. He runs their scout team offense,

1709
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: which is he's having a blast doing, and he goes

1710
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: on the other side and helps the defense about what

1711
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: he thinks would make things difficult for Kirk too. So

1712
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 1: he's getting to have his hands kind of interacting with

1713
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 1: all these different young players on the field, which is

1714
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: what he loves to just get out there and just coach.

1715
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: That's probably why when he talked this week was the

1716
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: first time anybody's heard from him since training camp, because

1717
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 1: he'd rather just go out there and coach. But all

1718
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: the different roles that he's put in to help them,

1719
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 1: I think you should see that his fingerprints are all

1720
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: over what they've been able to do, especially the last

1721
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: several weeks. You think he comes back, I mean, if

1722
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: he wants to, like he was asked, he was asked that.

1723
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 1: He was asked that, and he said, you know, i

1724
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: had my chance to be a head coach. I'm really

1725
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: liking what I'm what I'm doing right now. Um. In

1726
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 1: other words, Ronda says no, But I mean he said

1727
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: he was going to retire from coaching, and now he's back,

1728
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, in a role. But the role that he's

1729
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: in now, like I said, he's kind of helping out

1730
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: with all these other things. He goes home a lot

1731
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 1: sooner than Yeah, he used to go home, if they

1732
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: ever went home at all. Um. I think if he

1733
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: was a head coach again, he's only wired one way

1734
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: to do it, the way that he does it. Um.

1735
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: And so I think that would be the tricky part

1736
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: because you mentioned Ronda like having you know, going home earlier.

1737
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: His son is at Strake Jesuit maybe high school, you

1738
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: never know, Yeah, Inclines with the scout with the cowboys. Now, um, hey,

1739
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: you never know. You never know. James Snacks a lot
