1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome into a Friday edition of

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. As the man said, I'm your host,

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter for your Houston Texans.

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: It's Titans Week. Baby talked about it on Wednesday a lot.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna dive in a lot more this evening, my

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: keys to the game. We're gonna talk to Lovey Smith

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: here in just a second. We got a little chompan

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: Owens later in the show, a little Houston Methodist minutes

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: for you. I'll give you all my predictions. But Titans

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: Week is special, man. It's really cool when the former

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: Oilers come back to their old stomping grounds right here

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: in Houston. Now, it's not been fun to the last

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: three times. Twenty nineteen we played the JB team, got beat,

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty it was a doink fuel go at the end.

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: And then last year's game in Week eighteen, it's like

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: a Week seventeen to twenty twenty one, incredible football game.

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Texas came back in that one, got it to twenty

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: one eighteen, had a sack head Daniel dead rights. He

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: got out of it through a pass to Nick Westbriga

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: Keene broker back score twenty eight eighteen. Texas came back

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: and scored again, maybe twenty eight twenty five, and like,

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: hey man, they're right in this thing. Just get one stop.

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Couldn't get to stop. Lost twenty eight twenty five. So

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: in the last four games against the Titans, it's a

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: three point differential, just three Titans up, just three. Even

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: though the Titans have one of those four games, the

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: Titans one three of them, the Texans won one with

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: the largest margin. That was by nine points up in

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: Nashville last year. So what's gonna transpire on Sunday? Interesting?

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. One man who will have a

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: huge hand in what happens is head coach Lovey Smith,

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: and he sits down with Mark Vandimir right now, coach

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: taking on the Tennessee Titans. Everybody talks about their running game.

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Will get to that, but let's talk about having to

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: block their defense up front with your line and trying

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: to run against that and what they can offer you

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: in the past rush department as you're trying to prevent that.

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: How tough are they upfront? They are very tough up friend,

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: you kind of you know the way they've said their

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: football team up. Of course we have a history with

41
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: them too, and you get into our division, there's a

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: certain brand of football that's being played. You know, offensively,

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: we need to be able to run the football, and

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: they're committed and I'm saying Front seven they played outstanding

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: football that way for a long period of time. Their

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: matchups that we're gonna have to win, starting with our

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: tackles outside and of course when you play running football

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: teams a lot of times it's about guard to guard,

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: guard to guard play. Does it help when you know

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: certain players like Zach Cunningham or DeMarcus Walker, people like that,

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Does that help when you have great knowledge of what

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: they could do on the football field. Well, no, no,

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: because I think yeah it does. And just to really

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: kind of confirm what you see on video as much

55
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: as anything you mentioned Walker, you mentioned Cunningham, Yeah, we've

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: had them so we know and what we know about

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: them is they're good football players. They're going to play hard.

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: And whenever you get a chance to play against your

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: your old team, of course, that specialty. It feels like

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: every week in the evidence shows and the numbers you've

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: been throwing the ball better. Just week by week and

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: maybe you're not making all the progress you want to make,

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: but you're making progress. What about this matchup with the

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Titans and the passing game, Well, I mean when I

65
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: say that we're running football team, whenever a team says

66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: they're running football team, there has to be a commitment

67
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: to stop to run from there matchups coming to play

68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: on the outside. So for us, yeah, we need to run.

69
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: But when we get our opportunities to pass the football,

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: our receivers are going to have to win. And not

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: just receivers, are guys catching the ball. Tight ends be

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: a big part of what we want to do each

73
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: week also, and our guys know that, and we feel

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: good we made progress last week. I've seen stated progress

75
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: each week. Well, you're facing Derek Henry and you face

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: some good backs this year already. I know everybody's a

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: little bit different and you haven't had all the success

78
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: you've seeked against those backs. But does it help having

79
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: seen some really good backs this year now you have

80
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Derek Henry to be ready for that opportunity. Yeah, and

81
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: you know some of the backs play we didn't know

82
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: as much about, like Jacobs last week, but in our

83
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: division we know about them, and everybody in the NFL,

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: of course knows about Derrick Henry, and we haven't played

85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: our best game as far as run defense is concerned.

86
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: That's why the challenge is. We need to get momentum going.

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: We have to correct some of the things we haven't

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: done as well, and that's run and run is about

89
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: getting as many guys to the ball as possible and

90
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: just being sound in your gaps. What about being at home, coach,

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: because it's been a while, four weeks between home dates

92
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: plus the buy and a couple of road games, one

93
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: of them will win at Jacksonville. What about being at

94
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: n RG in front of the fans, excited about that?

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: There's no plays like home. There really isn't. And for us,

96
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: when when you know you need a little bit of

97
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: a momentum booths. It's all what I've seen. It is

98
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: always good to feel the energy from our crowd. Our

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: fans have been great. We can't wait till we start

100
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: doing our job as well as our fans have done.

101
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: There is trying to help us and it's time for that.

102
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: So yes, we're excited about, you know, playing the Titans

103
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: this week at home. One more for you, coach, you

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: mentioned the division and knowing Henry because you faced them

105
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: before and some of the other matchups. What is it

106
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: about being in the division You see so much tape?

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: You see so much Maybe the Titans playing the Jacks

108
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: when you're getting ready to play the Jackson, you know

109
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: the Titans even better. It's not just about playing the

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: opponent that week. Is that what it is? Yeah, that's

111
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: a big part of what it is. And playing them

112
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: twice at a minimum twice a year you do, and

113
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: a lot of your time in all season two, you

114
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: spend more time on your division. You know. To make

115
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: a playoff run, you have to win in or you

116
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: have to do well in your division. And that's why

117
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: we put such a big emphasis on it. You know, Mark,

118
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: right now, we're not pleased with what our record is,

119
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: but in our division we haven't laws and a win.

120
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: If we can get a win this week, to be

121
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: undefeated in our division after we played all of our

122
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: all those opponents, would be pretty special to us. Coach,

123
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: thanks a lot for joining us, good luck, Thank you

124
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: very much. It's very nice to have Mark stay in

125
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: studio with me. Mark, we're thinking about love. You had

126
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: to say anything stand out to you. Well, look, the

127
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: division thing is always prevalent when you're playing one of

128
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: these AFC South teams and you know them so well.

129
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: This is the third matchup of the year. You had

130
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: the Colts, tie, had the win over the Jags, and

131
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: now you have this. And we all know what happened

132
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: up there last year when the Titans were riding a

133
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: six game winning streak. People forget that that team was

134
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: piping hot at the time at least one loss wise,

135
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: and we could pick apart the way they were playing

136
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: in that game though, Tyrod Taylor played and the Texans

137
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: sort of duct taped to win together, right, you know

138
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: what I mean. Taylor ran for a couple right, and

139
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: you got helicoptered on one and whatever happened, and you

140
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: were able to survive the day and know Derek Henry available.

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about the Titans last year without

142
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, they were still running the ball, well, they

143
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: just weren't running at Derrick Henry. Well, and you and

144
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: I talked about this last night. Derrick Henry lowest yards

145
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: per carry of his career right now at four. So

146
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: to me, that says, all right, he's still Derek Henry

147
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. And the Texans have been picked

148
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: apart by a bunch of backs this season so far.

149
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: But I brought that up about having seen those backs.

150
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: Does it help you with Henry in Sunday's game? And

151
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: I think it does to a degree. Johnny, Look, you

152
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: haven't stopped it the way you want, but at least

153
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: you've seen it, and maybe that'll help you this week

154
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: because there's no question about what the Titans want to do.

155
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: You weren't quite sure the Raiders. Yeah, you know what

156
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: they want to run the ball, But you're worried about

157
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: Davante Adams and Derek Carr and everything with the Titans.

158
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: Well you were well, not you. I'm just saying other

159
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: people were well, But you have to gain plan concern

160
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and also Ryan Tannehill can throw the ball. Let's be clear.

161
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: But this is clear what they want to do with

162
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: the rock that's run it. Yeah, that's a different animal.

163
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. I'll tell you this. Just flashing back

164
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas real fast. There's a big play that

165
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: game that God overlooked and was Derek Carr hitting Foster

166
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: from her own third down before. I think it was

167
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: the one that made it seventeen thirteen, okay, and Car

168
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: is dead to rights. The Texans have a beautiful stunt,

169
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: and it's an et stunt. So I think it was

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Obo and Highnich and so Obo darts hard inside and

171
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: he gets Car to move, but he gets Car to

172
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: move right into Highnich. Highnesh loops outside and Highness is

173
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: waiting for him, and somehow Car worked in between both

174
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: of them and both of them miss. And then because

175
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: if that linebackers drew up, he threw it to Moreau

176
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: third down. Next play, they tossed it to Jacobs. He

177
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: scores the seventeen thirteen. I thought that was an incredible

178
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: drive and an incredible play for Derek Carr. Tanny Hill

179
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: does the same things. That's where I think. I think

180
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Derek car doesn't give him a credit for that. But

181
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Tannehill can throw it the way Derek

182
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: carrs throwing it. Derek Carr threw it very very well

183
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: the other day. But you knew Jacobs was gonna be

184
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: the guy. Okay, how are you gonna stop Jacobs? What

185
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: I'm curious is what's the mix of how the Titans

186
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: run it. Yes, it's gonna be Dereck Henry. We all

187
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: know it's Derrick Henry. But are they gonna try and

188
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: get downhill fast? They're gonna run some duo? Are they

189
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna run toss like the Raiders? The Raiders ran a

190
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: lot of toss because the Titans do that too, Yes, right, yes,

191
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: forms of that. So I think it's coming and they'd

192
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: be crazy to try it, right absolutely after what they

193
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: saw in film. And I always go back to I

194
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: know when I coached a long long time ago. I

195
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: remember watching the team and they couldn't stop the option,

196
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: and I always wanted to run the option, but we

197
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: were kind of a throwing team them, and I was like,

198
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm scrapping it. They can't stop the option.

199
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to run it. Here we go and well,

200
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we kind of flipped overnight and

201
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: became an option option heavy team and we started running

202
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: it really well, and it was like, ooh, this light

203
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: went on. Hopefully the light doesn't go on for Tennessee

204
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: at that point, but maybe the lights already on. The

205
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: twenty two is getting the ball and it's just a

206
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: matter of how they get it. The one I worry

207
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: about the most I was talking to to evert Are Increa,

208
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: to a PR guru who helps me down on the sidelines.

209
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: He's in the sidelines, will me during the game. And

210
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: here's the one. It worries me. When Henry gets out

211
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: of the backfield on pass plays. Oh yeah, he's not

212
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: a great he don't have great hands. But when he

213
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands and he gets downhill

214
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: out in space, watch out, yo. Yeah, that's what worries

215
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: That's when the business decisions happen. It's true. Or like

216
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: you say, you get posterized, viral videoed. You know what,

217
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: you don't get posterized in the NFL. And the kids

218
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: kids today will never know the beauty of the NBA poster.

219
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Back in the day, I remember going into shoe places

220
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: and Daryl Duwkins Chocolate Thunder from the Planet Loved Drown

221
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: and they had a big poster of him, you know,

222
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: holding a bunch of basketballs or whatever he did. And

223
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to know what he did. But the

224
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: point is this, that's where the poster came from. Guys,

225
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: dunk it on. You click, you take the picture. It's

226
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: a poster. You're right. In the NFL, it's not posterized.

227
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: It's viral videoed, just like Norman. Yeah, Derek Henry what

228
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: he did to him. It happens with Henry more often

229
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: than not. If you grew up in my demographic where

230
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: my middle school in high school years were at the

231
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: height of posters because the Costacros brothers were doing posters,

232
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: and they were the ones that always came up with

233
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: those kind of theme posters. Oh man, they were all

234
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: over my walls in my room. I mean, it was

235
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: just that was that's what went up in the room.

236
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: Kids put on their walls these days, I don't know.

237
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, vander Kidd has stuff that basically we decided

238
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: would go on his wall. You know, I don't know

239
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: what you put on. I don't know. I have no idea.

240
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: I remember my room was a bunch of Costocros poster

241
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: and a Mary Lou Retton poster or the Fara Fawcett poster. Yeah.

242
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to put that one up. Okay, at

243
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: least I could argue Merrily Reton because she was a

244
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: she's an athlete. She's an athlete. I could get away.

245
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: She's adorable. I love Mary Lou. I've never met her

246
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: and that's one of my big regrets. Oh my god,

247
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: I would like to beat Mary Lou. If you're out

248
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: there listening, I would like to just I'd like to meet.

249
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: So we have friends and they're really with her. Oh

250
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: so maybe I can make that happen sometime. And she

251
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: she and I worked an event a few like years ago,

252
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: over a decade ago, but she could not have been

253
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: nicer and more wonderful. I love Mary Lou. Speaking of

254
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: a decade ago, it was a little over a decade ago,

255
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: like I don't know, thirteen years ago. John Weeks came

256
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: into the building, started a game in twenty ten I

257
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: believe it was yea, And on Sunday he will play

258
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: in his two hundred and I think that's just it's

259
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: an incredible accomplishment. I don't care what position you're playing.

260
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: John as a long snapper takes. There were a few

261
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: times I thought Weeks he was coming out of a game,

262
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: I would say, went over to the side. I was good.

263
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: I was remembering this because this week is so special,

264
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: and I was remembering those times when it's like it

265
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: looks a little iffy, but he's always ready to go.

266
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: And that got me thinking about you. Because weeks. He's

267
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: this is two hundred games in a row. Two hundred

268
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: games in a row. Do you know what your number is?

269
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: What's your number for games in a row? I haven't

270
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: set him for a while, but it's whatever the Texans. Yeah, right,

271
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: So if you have twenty a year, where are we here?

272
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: We're right, we're in year twenty one? Right? How many

273
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: games is that? I mean, that's wet. I want to

274
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: somewhere in the fours. Okay, because you have the playoffs

275
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: attached to it. You still have the Hall of Fame

276
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: game because year one was twenty one games. Yeah, you

277
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: can't just do a straight twenty one years certain number

278
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: of games like it's although it's not really twenty a year,

279
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: Well it's still twenty a year because you have three

280
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: preseason is seventeen now, but COVID you only had sixteen

281
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: because you had no preseason. So it's somewhere in the

282
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: four hundreds. It's around four forty four forty ish. I

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: think when we get to five hundred. See here's the thing,

284
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: we get the five hundred I'm putting out there. No,

285
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: the franchise is going to celebrate five hundred and so

286
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: I'll be in the background like, yeah, I was here too, uh.

287
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: Me and doctor Walter Lowe and you know, and for everyone, right, yeah,

288
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean Doc's been there for everyone. We're talking about

289
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: that on the bus the other day. But we get

290
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: the five hundred, Yes, Texans five hundred. But I know

291
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: that I was streamed out from the rooftops. I think

292
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: it's great for we see for two two hundred games.

293
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: And so on Thursday there was a video that they

294
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: played that that Omar played and the McNair's were here.

295
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: Was so sweet. Um Missus McNair was here and she

296
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: was so every time that she speaks to someone, I

297
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: just feel like, oh, I'd love her to death. She

298
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: reminds me so much of my mother in law who

299
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: was from North Carolina, and they just have such mannerisms.

300
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: The way they sounded, everything is the same. And so

301
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: John's wife and daughter were here. Uh. They brought out

302
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: a cake, of course, which I say, give to Nick

303
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: because nobody in the media is gonna eat the cake,

304
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: but Nick would absolutely have a couple of slices with

305
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: as much. But everybody said and then they had a

306
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: video and the video was great because it was it

307
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: was Lekashevski, it was Izzo, Seely Seely, Tracy Smith, Kubiak.

308
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: Kubiak at the end was just awesome. He's like, what's

309
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: up is Kube? I'm in my I'm in my ball,

310
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: as if to say, like, what do you think about

311
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: barn and he just it was awesome to see, uh,

312
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: to see him and to hear from him, but to

313
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: see the respect that that he's had, and you think

314
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: about just the number of Special Teams coaches he's had

315
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: over the years. Yeah, so he started with we started

316
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: with Joe, correct, and then it went to Leggy after that, Uh,

317
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: not right away. It was I want to say, Izzo

318
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: came in there at some point. Now that was later.

319
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: It was then Izzo, then Tracy right then uh, Brad

320
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: and Tracy okay, and then somebody Frank and Sean. I

321
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: feel like there's maybe somebody missing. But still to be

322
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: able to do his job and do it so well

323
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: and earn the trust of so many, so many different

324
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: Special Teams coaches over thirteen years, I think it's I

325
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: think it's unbelievable. All right, So I'm a garage band veteran, right,

326
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: I've waited a bunch of bands in my life. Special

327
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: teams coaches are like drummers. They're like drummers. They're crazy.

328
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: They have to be. Drummers are crazy. Drummers always get

329
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: the girl. All right, Well, we won't get into that

330
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: right down. The women love the drummers, man, I don't.

331
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Especially there's no Pamela Anderson in your career at some point. No, see,

332
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: Tommy Lee's a drummer. Right there, you go, unbelievable. Yeah, no,

333
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: make that. I like your analogy before that pretty good.

334
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: The drummers, yeah, they're absolutely drummers. They're nuts. Most most

335
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: special teams coaches, they may look like they've got it

336
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: all together, but they're they're crazy. I was talking to uh,

337
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: I can't remember. Frank Ross and I were talking and

338
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: I saw him, Oh, I can't remember where it was,

339
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: and I said something. We were talking about sleep and

340
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, man, I got like three or four

341
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: in and then I just was why. I was just wired.

342
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: I was ready to go. So I just got up

343
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: start prepping for next week. And I was like wired,

344
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Like he's just on it, He's on a different planet.

345
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: His energy just doesn't stop. I I love that guy.

346
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be. I think he's gonna be

347
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: a head coach in this league at some point, and

348
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a really successful one. I

349
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be on a John Harball. I think

350
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be that successful in this league something.

351
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: I think he's got them good to do it. Frank

352
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: Ross has the goods to do it. He has that

353
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: demeanor about him, and you know he's got the energy. Obviously,

354
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: you need great energy to be a head coach. I

355
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: mean anybody will tell you that who's done it at

356
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: any level. And you just mentioned it, you know, being

357
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: able to sacrifice sleep. Look, it's not ideal. Sleep is

358
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: important for your health, ladies and gentlemen, but when you're

359
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: on a mission, often you have difficulties sleeping because you're

360
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: always thinking about how to do it better. Whatever it

361
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 1: is it is, right. Was that a little redundant? Yes

362
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: it was, but you get my point. Yeah? Absolutely. At

363
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, I couldn't sleep. I knew it wasn't a

364
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: mile high elevation, but man, I still it's it's like

365
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: half a mile up. It's like twenty five hundred feet

366
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: something like that. Twenty Vegas. I heard the sirens a lot.

367
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: Did you that night? Oh yeah, I heard sirens in Vegas. Sure?

368
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: Is that the slowest moving ferris wheel ever? By the way,

369
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: could you see it out of your You could because

370
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: you were one floor above me, right, But that ferris

371
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: wheel in Vegas. And look, a lot of major cities

372
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: in the world have ferris wheels had on London, Paris,

373
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was cool when the aquarium opened and

374
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: they had a ferris wheel. I thought that's a cool

375
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: thing for the city. And those who have traveled a

376
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: lot understand this. In Vegas has a gigantic one with

377
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: gondola carts or whatever they are. I don't know how

378
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: you describe those. But of course it's going to move

379
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: slow because you wanted to move slow. You want it

380
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: to be. It's not a thrill ride. You want to

381
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: see the strip, the lights. It's cool. By the way.

382
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: On my Instagram, I think I put it on stories,

383
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: not on a post so you won't see it. I

384
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: took a heck of a video when we were taking

385
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: off after the game and I thought we lost the game.

386
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't. Oh yeah, that was a cool take. I

387
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: didn't even realize the airport was that close. Yeah, it's

388
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: so close. I didn't realize that at all. That was

389
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: a great takeoff view. Oh great view. And just at

390
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: dusk and you see the sun in the distance behind

391
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: the middle, but you see the lights of the strip up.

392
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's really depressing in Vegas if you happen

393
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: to be up very late, as in all night long,

394
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: which I haven't done in you know, decades. But when

395
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: the lights go off on the strip that in the morning, yeah,

396
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: they do well. Some of the lights, the Marquee lights

397
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: go off because it's sunny and whatever. You're not gonna

398
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: see them anyway. But when you see that and they

399
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: go off, you realize, oh, oh, I don't know that

400
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: I ever saw well, I don't know. I'm I've never

401
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: been up at that point to see them off. I

402
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: just can't imagine them being off. But at that time

403
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: of day, it was. It was we used the word

404
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: awesome to like, that's great, that's so cool. We used

405
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: the word awesome in that way, but awesome as a

406
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: as an adjective. Yes, it is literally whoa, I mean,

407
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: it just blows your mind, good or bad, it's just

408
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: it kind of blows your mind. And that that view

409
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: was that was that leaving um. I was glad to

410
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: get out of there after that that weekend and that

411
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: loss to the Raiders. So Sunday, roof open, roof closed?

412
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: What's your guess? What's the rain reports? See, that's the thing.

413
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: I think, the rain really, that's it. Yeah, it's I'm

414
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna say, maybe open, Johnny. I think we got a

415
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: good shot at openness here, even if it's a little grank.

416
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious because whenever it's been open, it's

417
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: always been sunny. Sunny, sunny, I think is hardly cloudy.

418
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what gray would be. Gray is good.

419
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: I know I would like Glaire in the sun and

420
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: the eyes of the kick Returners and all that. I

421
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 1: would love it. Gray is fine. But I've look. I

422
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: have no one from ticketing on the line here, you know,

423
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: no hot line to ticketing. But I know this, if

424
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: they open the roof under any circumstances, there are always

425
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: some complaints, no matter what the weather is, about the

426
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: ruling the sun was in my eyes closed, the roof

427
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: will complain to complain. I know that, And it's okay

428
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: because they're the customers and they're always right. Because everybody's

429
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: right by their own subjective opinion whatever it might be.

430
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: And some people might not like any kind of sun whatsoever.

431
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be in the sun period,

432
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: even if it's a sixty three degrees imperfect. Have we

433
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: ever done a night game with the roof open? Yes?

434
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: And I think there's a shot for Thursday night. When

435
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: when was that? It was definitely not when I was

436
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: here because somebody did not like it open. Okay, twenty thirteen, yikes,

437
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: the Colts on Sunday night. That was ruf open. That

438
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: was rufe ope. Oh my god. There should be a

439
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: thirty for thirty for that game. There should be because

440
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: Seth Myers was here. But more importantly, Drew and Seth

441
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: trying to do a little vamping and cutey not cute

442
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: c but a fun interview and Gary Kubiak goes down

443
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: with the ministroke right and then blowing the I mean,

444
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the halftime reporter, but Jackie,

445
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: it was battle red and it was case keenum and

446
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: doing the old fake SPIKERU to throw the third touchdown

447
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: pass with a half to Andrey Johnson. That was awesome.

448
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: When it comes to thirty for thirties for gut punch games.

449
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: That one's up there. It is up there, because you

450
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: know the whole two twenty thirteen seasons, big lead over

451
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: the Colts at the half, and you're thinking, oh, Keenum

452
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: looks awesome, this is great, and then then Kubiak goes

453
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: down and everyone's wondering how is he? And the second

454
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: half you just have a meltdown against Indie and Andrew

455
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: Luck and gosh, I'm so glad that andrews resting comfortably

456
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: right now, retired, thankfully. How about what Dorset said though

457
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: the other day to us, Yeah, that man, I wouldn't

458
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: put it past him to someday maybe come back or something,

459
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: just not with them, Yeah, come back with an NFC team. Yeah, sure,

460
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: I'll be here to watch that. Yeah, no doubt. Just

461
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: over in the NFC East, maybe it's not Withallas. Maybe

462
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is looking for Washington Washington commanders. Tampa Bay

463
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: couldn't be looking for a Sometimes that's sad though, you know,

464
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: that was kind of sad to see that today. I

465
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: know I hate that news, but it just goes to

466
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: show that, I mean, everybody's fallible. Like it's even at

467
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: forty five, he's finally showing some cracks in the armor.

468
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: Now I'm curious to see what happens is Fox is

469
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Fox Sports ever gonna get analyst Tom Brady, what do

470
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: you mean windlong away and not want to be part

471
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: of it and not want to be in the limelight

472
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's a great question. This year's got to

473
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: be very tough for him. Two games below five hundred.

474
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not Tom Brady, right this, I

475
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: mean he's got to keep rating up. He's got to

476
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: keep his CUE rating up in some sense to be

477
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: in that role. I mean, he can't just go, you know,

478
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: straight straight villain, expect it to go well. So I

479
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: don't know, I know, I feel bad, you know what,

480
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad bad, But like the coaches when

481
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: you look at bowls, when you look at Left Witch

482
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: and even Lafleur with Green Bay, with Rogers not going

483
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: so well, But you know, it's really an organizational thing.

484
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't think Brady's playing that badly. He might not

485
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: be who he was, but it's not him. Yeah, you know,

486
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: this team's really struggling, right. That defense was abysmal second

487
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: half exactly. Now they're banged up. The whole secondary is different.

488
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: I was actually talking to Tristan, his brother twin as

489
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: they called him the Twins. At SAM Houston, Zion got

490
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: to play a bunch and covered really well. As tackling is,

491
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: Zion told Tristan is tackling needs improvement. But that was cool.

492
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: It was really cool to see, you know, somebody that

493
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: I had covered so many games at SAM got to

494
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: know him and his agents one of my best friends.

495
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: So it was really cool to see Zion last night.

496
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: But needed the Bucks to win. Yeah, oh, I had

497
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: some friends that needed the Bucks to win too, but

498
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Mark appreciate it. Coming up next, let's talk

499
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: from my Keys to the game. How the Texas is

500
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Titans. Well, let's talk about it right

501
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: here on Texas All Access. Next, let's go on, everybody.

502
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to a Friday issue of Texas All Access.

503
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris Football, I know, a sideline

504
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: reporter for your Houston Texans. It's time to get into

505
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: my Keys to the game against the Tennessee Titans. So

506
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: let's queue up my music. There it is, and let's

507
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 1: get in to it. Now. As we get into it,

508
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: let's discuss the availability of various players for this game.

509
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the status report first before we get

510
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: into the nukes and the crannies of this game, because

511
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: I think some of the aspects of what's an injury

512
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: and status report could impact the keys that I wrote

513
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: back on Tuesday. So you guys will take him with

514
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: a you know, sort of a I don't know, kind

515
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: of a wait and see approach for a couple of

516
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: these based on what I wrote and what the status

517
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: report says. So let's think about the Texans here. The

518
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: Texans have seven players that are questionable, seven that are

519
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: questionable the DMPs. In fact, these three two of them

520
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: were DMPs all week, a third was a DMP for

521
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. A J. Cann was six

522
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: starting on Thursday, so he did not participate in practice

523
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: on Thursday or Friday. He's questionable. MALIEK Collins do you

524
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: let chest issue? Did not participate all week against the

525
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: After the game against the Raiders, he is also questionable.

526
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: Nico Collins dealing with that groin injury, he did not

527
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: practice all week. He is questionable. My spidey senses say

528
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: that Nico, Malik the Collinses will not be in this game.

529
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: But listen, it's questionable, So we'll hold out hope until

530
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: we find out that there's no hope. There a limited

531
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: participant today in practice. Now, he had been full Wednesday Thursday,

532
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: but he was limited on Friday, which always worries me.

533
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: And that's Rasheem Green, who has really gotten after the

534
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: quarterback with his pass rush throughout the first six games

535
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: of this year. He is listed as questionable. Full participants

536
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: today in practice. Brandon Cooks, Kenyan Green, Justin McCray. Now,

537
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: Justin was limited for the first couple of days, full today.

538
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: Kenyan Green was full for the last couple of days

539
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: with the shoulder, and Brandy Cooks is dealing with the wrist.

540
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: Those three are also questionable. So let's say that all

541
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: of them are out. That means right and left guard,

542
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: the backup left and right guard, and your two starting receivers.

543
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: If that's the case. Now, again, like I said, Nico Malik,

544
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: my spidy senses say they're not going to be in

545
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: this one, that they need a little bit more time

546
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: to recover. But Malika, at least as a veteran, he's

547
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: been through it. Maybe he can pick it up and play.

548
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: We'll see, Nico I'm just I just go back to

549
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: seeing him come out of the tent on Sunday in

550
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and I just thought, there's not a way

551
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: I think he could play, but again questionable. So will

552
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, keep hope alive if you will, in the

553
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: words of my good friend Chris Level, who covers Texas

554
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: Tech football. Now on the other side, there was a

555
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: lot of talk about injuries. In fact, when this injury

556
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: report came out on Wednesday, the Times at two, four, six, eight,

557
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: ten twelve Thirteen guys on that list, including Zach Cuttingham,

558
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: Ben Jones, a couple of former Texans. So Ben Jones

559
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: in he was a limited participant this week, was he

560
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: was full on Thursday, limit on Friday. He's in. Nate

561
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: Davis in he has not played in a couple of weeks.

562
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: He is back at right guard. Aaron Brewer the starting

563
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: left starting left guard dealing with toe. He's in, Dylan Cole,

564
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: Morgan Cox, Zach Cuttingham, Bud Dupree, Joe Jones, and David Long,

565
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: who is the other starting linebacker who had been banged

566
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: up with a groin issue. They're all in. So Titans

567
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: from a firepower standpoint are probably as well put together

568
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: as they've been in a while because they've got Zach

569
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: cuttingham back. They have David Long ready to go. Now

570
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: David Long has been playing, but having Zack cuttingham back

571
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: is gonna be a big one. Having Nate Davis at

572
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: right guard, it's gonna be big. I think Davis is

573
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: one of the better younger young guards in the league,

574
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: and now that he's back, they don't play. Dylan Raydon's there,

575
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: who I think is miscass as a guard. So a

576
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: lot of different things going on with the Tennessee Titans,

577
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: but in a good way. Now. They also have a

578
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: few DMPs. No Kevin Byrd popped up today. It's just

579
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: not injury related. Now. It doesn't say rest, it's just

580
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: is not injury related. But he's in. It doesn't say

581
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: that he's questions well, he's in. The two players that

582
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: are out for the Titans Tory Carter fullback, Rashad Weaver

583
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: outside linebacker edge rusher. That's a little bit problematic because

584
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: they've already lost Harold Andrey at the beginning of the year,

585
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: and Bud Dupree is the other guy that have to

586
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 1: go with Rashad. Weaver and Weaver have been playing well,

587
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: Nikissario pointing him out when we talked to Nick back

588
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, So weaver out, Carter out questionable, Jeffrey Simmons,

589
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: and Ryan Tannehill. I think that Tannehill will definitely give

590
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: it a go. Simmons, in his press Availabilding in the

591
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: locker room said he's doing everything possible to give it

592
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: a go. Knowing it to the Vision game, he wants

593
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: to be there to play in this one. He's doing

594
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: everything possible from a rehab standpoint to get ready to go.

595
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: He has not practiced all week dealing with an ankle.

596
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: He said in his press availability, I feel better today

597
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: than I did last Sunday when he actually hurt the ankle.

598
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: So I'm expecting to see both of them. How much

599
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: we see. If Jeffrey Simmons, because obviously the Lion can

600
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: rotate a little bit, we'll see. But Ryan Tannehill, my

601
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: gut says he'll play. He'll hand off to Henry, he'll

602
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: get them in the right play. He'll make a couple

603
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: of passes here there. But I do think that Malik

604
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: Willis will play about seven eight snaps, whether it's wildcat snaps,

605
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: are just true I don't know he can say wildcat

606
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: he gets he gets there in shotgun. I mean that's

607
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: a regular you know, he's quarterback in there. Would Willis

608
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: ever line up next to Tannehill in some goofy a line,

609
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll see. Maybe they're saving it, but keep

610
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: an eye on that. Ryan Tannehill questionable, Jeffrey Simmons questionable.

611
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: My gut says they're both gonna play dealing with ankles,

612
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: but we'll see. And Ryan Tanhill also listen with an illness,

613
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: So if it is Malik Willis, well, I think that

614
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: could end up being an issue. So let's get into

615
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: our keys and start with the aforementioned Titans offense. This

616
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: is an offense that has been abysmal, and by abysmal,

617
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm being nice. They're one hundred. They're

618
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: twentieth in the NFL in rushing with a one hundred

619
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: and nine yards per game. Now, the caveat is the

620
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: Texans are last in the NFL in stopping the run,

621
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: so and they have Derrick Henry, so maybe the Titans

622
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: get well. There where the Texans have been much better

623
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: is stopping the pass, and the Titans are not good

624
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: throwing the football one hundred and sixty five five yards

625
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: per game. That's twenty seventh in the league. The average

626
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: under two hundred and seventy five yards per game, that's

627
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: thirty first in the league. They've lost seven turnovers. Tanny Hill,

628
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: if he starts, I mean he is well, I would

629
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: say he's just a guy. He's not because he's made

630
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: a ton of plays against the Texans. He's also given

631
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: things away like he did last year. So let's get

632
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: into the keys here. We'll talk about Tanny Hill because

633
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: he's one of the keys. Number one. I caught the reunion.

634
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: We missed Derek Henry last year. We missed him a lot.

635
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: I hope that we missed him so much last year

636
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one that we aside all eleven guys just

637
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: hug him the entire game and tell him how much

638
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: they missed him. And I'm not joking. Hugging him means

639
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: they're wrapping up and they're bringing him to the ground

640
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: and he's not turning five and seven yard rounds into

641
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: fifty and seventy yard rounds. That is I think the

642
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: biggest key in this particular game against the Titans. Offense, defense,

643
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: special teams. It is will you show the discipline it

644
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: takes to not throw a shoulder into a six four,

645
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty seven pound running back. Is to

646
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: wrap him up around the ankles and bring him down

647
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: and grab jersey and grab an arm, grab his elbow, pad,

648
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: grab at the football, whatever it takes to wrap him

649
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: up and bring him to the ground. Will you do that?

650
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: Because it's it's not a can you, it's a will you?

651
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 1: That to me is the biggest thing. It is want

652
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: to against the guy like Derrick Henry. Now, look six four,

653
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty seven running a four five and

654
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: he has an open gap inside. I mean, that's that's

655
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: gonna test your will, It's gonna test your heart, It's

656
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna test you as a football player in that back end.

657
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: So the first time that Jalen Petrie, Jonathan Owens, Derek

658
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: Stingley have played against Derrick Henry. So they're gonna have

659
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: to wrap up these linebackers. Christian Harris, although he went

660
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: to Alabama, has never played against Derrick Henry. It's a

661
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: completely different animal. Christian Kirksey didn't see him last year

662
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: tackling him and just tackling in general, has got to

663
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: be at a high level. Now. The one thing that

664
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: goes along with that making the tackles easier or if

665
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: you slow him down, Well, John, I get that. Well,

666
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: here's what I mean. There are some running backs that

667
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: like Damian even if the hole where he's headed initially

668
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: isn't there, he can stop on a dime or plant

669
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: that outside foot and cut it back and he doesn't

670
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: lose momentum, He doesn't lose his jews. Derrick Henry does.

671
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: So being gap discipline up front and being violent with

672
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: your block get off. If there's something that this front

673
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: has not been that adds, I think to the run

674
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: defense woes, it's that they're not violent getting off the football.

675
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: The raiders ransom stuff. The Titans have not been running,

676
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: but I would imagine they've added a few things, i e.

677
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: Pin and pull, toss wide receiver comes and cracks on

678
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: the defensive end, makes the corner have to replace. And

679
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: now you have Derrick Henry one on one on Nelson

680
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: or Stanley and who don't like it? But that's what

681
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: the Titans are gonna do. I guarantee you they've added that.

682
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: The other thing about Henry is he likes to run inside.

683
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: But when he has runway, that's what he's most difficult.

684
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about ten inches. If he has ten

685
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: inches a runway to just get skinny through the hole

686
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: and then shoot out the whole, you're in trouble. So

687
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: gap discipline is out of the utmost, keeping him contained,

688
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: slowing his movement down to make him stop, find a

689
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: new hole, reset and go. If they can do that,

690
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have an easier time tackling him. And that

691
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: is the biggest key offensively. Look, I mean Tannehill and

692
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: all honesty, who cares what Tannehill does. It's about stopping

693
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: Derek Hendrick. Last week, it was about stopping Josh Jacobs.

694
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: I knew they had Damante Adams, I knew they had

695
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, and those two made some plays and the

696
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: passing game hit at the end of the first half

697
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: to Macollins, etc. Etc. But not stopping Josh Jacobs was

698
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: the game. Not stopping Derek Henry will cost the Texans

699
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: this game. It's that simple, all right, Let's go to

700
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. Titans defense. At first glance,

701
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: you think, man, this is one of the better units

702
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: in the league last year, right, they only give up

703
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards per game in the NFL. That's fourth

704
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's good. However, they give up two

705
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eight yards through the air, which is

706
00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: thirty first in the league, three hundred seventy four per game,

707
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: that's twenty sixth. Overall, They've generated ten turnovers a plus

708
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: three in turnover margin, which was pretty solid, which just

709
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: helped them win four games in a row. However, they

710
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: won one game by two points against the Raiders. They

711
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: held on against the Washington Commanders, stopping a Carson Wentz

712
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: throw at the goal line on the last play of

713
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: the game. They beat the Colts, and the Colts just

714
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: looked lousy. The culture is so bad they're replacing their

715
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: quarterback Matt Ryan. I mean, that's how bad it is

716
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: and how bad it got. So the Titans have found

717
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: a way. But if Davis Mills has time, I think

718
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: he can throw the ball in this group. So let's

719
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: talk about the keys against them. Number One, The biggest

720
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: key against the Titans is can you run on them

721
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: against the bestie line in the league. Now there's no

722
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: Harold Landry off the edge, and now there's no Rashad Weavers,

723
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: so that at the time when I wrote this, Rashod

724
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: Weaver was in the mix. Well now he's not. So

725
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about Buddy pre off one edge and forcing

726
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: some backups to play at the other edge. But Jeffrey Simmons,

727
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: we talked about him a little bit. Is he in,

728
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: is he out? It matters, there's no doubt. But Tierra

729
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: Tart number ninety three has been playing exceptional and dedeck

730
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: Autry is a bad You know what, those guys all

731
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: together are very difficult to run against because they are

732
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: a violent, be excellent getting off blocks. And see the

733
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: linebackers run extremely well. Zach Cuttingham, David Long, Dylan Cole.

734
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: They all run. You saw Dylan and Zach. You know

735
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: they can run. And if that line is protecting them,

736
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: they run to the football and abated and that is difficult.

737
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: So using some play action to slow down their pursuit,

738
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna help. And you can throw the balls against

739
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: being the second key. I called it Fulton av because

740
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: Christian Fulton is a guy that Titans are trying to

741
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: rely on. He was drafted the second round of twenty

742
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: twenty and really hasn't lived up to the second round

743
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: to claim it force the Titans to go draft Caleb

744
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: Farley of the from Virginia Tech in the first round

745
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. He hasn't lived up to it.

746
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: Elijah Molden was drafted in the fourth round. He's on

747
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: ir So then they went out and got Roger McCrary

748
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: in the second round. Who John Mechi whipped in the

749
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: game at Alberni. It's Alabama, now I should say whipped him.

750
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: He got him in overtime, but that was a heck

751
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: of a battle Metchi McCreary all game long. So the

752
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: plays of guys in the back end that just don't

753
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: have the experience and really I don't think are at

754
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: a level that can slow down this Texans passing game.

755
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: But as we just found out with the injury report,

756
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: is Nico available, Is Brandon available? If they aren't, or

757
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: if one is, and what is it? And that's my

758
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: gut that Brandon will be ready to go but Nko won't.

759
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: And it's just my gut. I don't know, maybe not,

760
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see. But how did the Texans exploit Christian

761
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: Fulton in all those young dudes in the secondary. They've

762
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: got to be able to get the ball off well

763
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: without receipt. With Shad Weaver and Harold Landry, maybe there's

764
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: a decent chance of getting it off. If Jeffrey Simmons

765
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: is bang up, maybe that slows him in the middle.

766
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: I think the Texas have a really good opportunity to

767
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: get the ball off and get it to their playmakers

768
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: down the field. But who's that gonna be. Is it

769
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna be Chris Moore, Philip door Set, is it Tyrand

770
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: Johnson who has just added, I don't know how that

771
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: all comes together. The Texas have got to exploit a

772
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: secondary that is way below average. Do that you got

773
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: an opportunity to win this game, simple keys this week?

774
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: Will you do it? Will you perform? And if you do,

775
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: you got a shot at home first home game or

776
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: just sorry, the second home game in forty six days. Wow,

777
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: that's a lot. Forty six days only two home games.

778
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: All right, those are your keys to the game. Appreciate

779
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: you guys hanging around for that. We get back. Let's

780
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: go around in the NFL from a fantasy perspective. Who's

781
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: in who's out? That you need to know about? That's

782
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: next right here in Texas All Access tgi F. Yes,

783
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: thank god it's Friday and it's less than forty eight

784
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: hours away from kickoff against the Tennessee Titans. Welcome back

785
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: to Texas All Access. I'm your host, John Harris Football,

786
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: a silent reporter for your Houston Texas looking forward to

787
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: being at home now a huge reminder, Hey, it's kids Day.

788
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: It's always cool. I always love Kids' Day because one time,

789
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Gavin and Kenny they made a cartoon Johnny Harris. It

790
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: was kind of cool. I actually did a cartoon interview

791
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: up on the NRG Video Stadium video board. It was awesome.

792
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: It was like the greatest sign of respect. So I

793
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: love Kids' Day. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the game

794
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: is at three oh five. Kickoff is at three oh five. Now,

795
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: I know what your question is, will the roof be open?

796
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: There's a chance the roof will be open, just based

797
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: on what I've seen for Sunday weather. It's gonna be

798
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: partly sunny and seventy four as a high, So there's

799
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: a chance. That's all I'm saying. There is a chance.

800
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that. I'm just going by with

801
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: the rules that we set out. So there is a

802
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 1: chance it could be open, but if there's any sign

803
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of rain at all, it'll be closed. So we'll see.

804
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: It's like I used I tell my kids all the time.

805
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: I used to. I remember my mother used to tell

806
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: me that, my mom, can I get the Lincoln logs.

807
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: She's like, well, we'll have to see, won't we. And

808
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: now my kids would ask, and I'd be like that

809
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: we'll see, which basically means no. I guess I don't know.

810
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but for us a lot of times, we'll see.

811
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: It's just man, we'll give it some time and we'll see,

812
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: but we won't change is a three or five kick.

813
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: So get your tail gatting done and get your butt

814
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: in the seats no later in two thirty. Enjoy the

815
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: pregame and get loud, rowdy, and get this team will

816
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: win at home. It's been a while since you win.

817
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: When was the last win at home? December twenty sixth

818
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. That's a really long time. I

819
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: would do the date, but I just I don't want

820
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: to do math right now, I really don't. I want

821
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: to go around the NFL really quickly and discuss players

822
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: that are in or out, mainly one out it's a

823
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: big one. If you have Deebo Samuel or Christian McCaffrey, Dan,

824
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: you need to play Christian McCaffrey because Deebo Samuel is

825
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: out for this Sunday's game against the Rams, which probably

826
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: means and then why I mentioned Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey is

827
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 1: probably gonna get more opportunities with Deebo out of the game.

828
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: My gut tells me receptions, especially if you have McCaffrey

829
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: to PPR. But if McCaffrey is available somehow someway or

830
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: he's sitting there on your bench, you're not sure to

831
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: do with them play him. Yes, it's the Rams. I

832
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: don't think the Rams are great this year. In fact,

833
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna do our predictions later in the show, and

834
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: I do think the Rams are gonna end up winning

835
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: that one. But no Deebo Samuel for the forty nine

836
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: ers as one of the reasons why I think the

837
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: Rams will win. But also Christian McCaffrey. Keep an eye

838
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: on him getting more touches more availability this week against

839
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: the Rams, So keep an eye on that happening on

840
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: the West coast. All right, we get back. We got

841
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: a little double dip of Jews dozen and behind enemy sidelines,

842
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: a dpcity. That's next right here in Texans All Access.

843
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: We got one hour down, one hour left to go.

844
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: Right here on Texans All Access. I'm your host, John Harris,

845
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: Football Analyst, sundin reporter for your Texans getting ready for

846
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. I I trying to think

847
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: about this. Do I which game do I get up for?

848
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 1: Every year? Obviously it's one of those three Jaguars, Titans,

849
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: and Colts, and the Colts games to me, there's I

850
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I like the Colts games, but I always

851
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: seem to get up more for the Titans games. I

852
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: love games against the Titans home road. I love Nashville,

853
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: so I love going to Nashville and checking out the

854
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: games there, especially when the Texans knocked them off like

855
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: they did last year in twenty twenty one. Now, I

856
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: know we got a lot of fans out there today,

857
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,240

Speaker 1: It all goes in the same segment. And when Dyken

869
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 1: Loves dep CITU, that means we're gonna go behind enemy sidelines.

870
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 1: And when it's Tennessee Titan Week, that means Jim Wyatt,

871
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: our body from the Tennessee and who then moved over

872
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: to the Titans. He's been covering the Titans probably for

873
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: the last five six years, does a tremendous job, knows

874
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: that team inside and out. Here we are behind enemy

875
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: sidelines with Deep City and Titans senior reporter Jim Wyatt

876
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: Deep We're going behind enemy sidelines with Jim Wyatt, senior

877
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: writer for the Tennessee Titans and Jim always a pleasure.

878
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: These two teams have not faced each other yet, but

879
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 1: looks like the Titan on a roll of four game

880
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: win streak. What's the mood like there in Tennessee as

881
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: they head into Houston. Well, it's a lot better than

882
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: it was after the after the first two games when

883
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: they rowing two, blew a game against the Giants in

884
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: Week one and then go to Buffalo and get embarrassed

885
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. And I think at that point

886
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people were questioned where this team was going.

887
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: And they've kind of gotten off the mat and won

888
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 1: four games in a row. You know, certainly still dealing

889
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: with a lot of injuries, but just finding ways to

890
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: win in different ways. And uh, I know, you know,

891
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: there's a challenging part of the schedule coming up. We're

892
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: we're used to going to Houston in December, so this

893
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: is a this is a switch cheer going in October.

894
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: But the time league, Yeah, I thought, you need to

895
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: keep winning and I need to really start to get

896
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: guys healthy again. Yeah, certainly a lot of guys that

897
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: are banged up. But let's start with Ryan Tannehill. I mean,

898
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: we saw him in a walking boot on Monday. You know,

899
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: what can you tell us about just his toughness. If

900
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: he can't go, what that quarterback position might look like

901
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: under center for Sunday. Well, he's extremely tough and he's

902
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: ever since he's been here, and since he took over

903
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: as a starter in two thousand nineteen, he started every

904
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: game and uh and there really has not been a

905
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: mystery going into any week with him as the starting quarterback.

906
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: You know, replaced Marcus Mariota, if you know, already part

907
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: of two thousand nineteen and his battle through some things.

908
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: He's taken some big hits, he gets sicked, hit but

909
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: he just always gets up. But on Sunday he got

910
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 1: he kind of got caught one of our team's offensive lineman,

911
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: kind of got pushed back into him, landed on his

912
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: right ankle, had it taped up. You know, finished the game,

913
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: but obviously was in a lot of pain. Left the

914
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: stadium in a walking boot. And he tries to gut

915
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 1: through everything, and I know he'll try to get through

916
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: it again this week. Malik Willis is the only other

917
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: quarterback currently on the roster. Logan Woodside the practice squad quarterbacks.

918
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: So I know Tanny Hill wants to play. They want

919
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: him to play, and you know, certainly. If he doesn't,

920
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: it's a big gonna be a big change for the tie.

921
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: All right, one guy who was banged up last year,

922
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: he seems healthy and good as new this year. Derrick

923
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: Henry five rushing touchdowns, three straight games with one hundred

924
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: plus rushing yards. You know, has his workload changed at

925
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: all in year seven? We saw him battle through some

926
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: stuff last year, But how have you seen his usage increase, decrease,

927
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: or even remain the same this year for the Titans. Well,

928
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: they're getting him cranked up more. I mean, you know

929
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, his opportunities hinge on

930
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: how the team's going, and if the team has fallen

931
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: behind in games like they did in Buffalo and they

932
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: got blown out, you know, you're just not able to

933
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: have a healthy dose of Derrick Henry. But when you're

934
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 1: in a game like this past Sunday against the Colts

935
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: where they played with the lead, you can just kind

936
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: of hammer away with him. And that's what they were

937
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: able to do. I mean, cared the ball, you know,

938
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: I think there's thirty times and ran for over one

939
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: hundred yards for the third week in a row. So

940
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: it seems like he's starting to gain some momentum around him,

941
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: and it was thirty right on the dot, and he's

942
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: willing to do it. I mean, it's it's kind of crazy.

943
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: Each year people will talk about whether or not they

944
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: try to take some of the pressure off him, whether

945
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: or not he won't get as many cares, and if

946
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: things are going well, he's going to get the ball,

947
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: and he wants the ball. And what's impressive is he's

948
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: continuing to do it now with a makeshift offensive line

949
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: in some ways. The team lost its starting left tackle

950
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: and in title the one for the season back in

951
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: Week two, Nate Davis. When the teams starting guards hasn't

952
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: played the past couple of weeks, They've had some other

953
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: guys step in and the run games continue to be good.

954
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: So we'll just see if that continued to be a

955
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: part of the plan. I suspect it will be. Jim

956
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: Just looking at the statue from Sunday's game against the Colts,

957
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: I had not realized that was the first time the

958
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: Titans had scored in the fourth quarter of a game

959
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: all year, and even that was two field goals. How

960
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 1: much of a certain has that been throughout this stretch

961
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: of the season. Just the inability to score, and yet

962
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: somehow they keep finding ways to win. Yeah, it's remarkable

963
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: really because you're right, it's it's been bad. I mean,

964
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: it's and it's been a big topic of conversation here

965
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: and and it's hard to say why they have not

966
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 1: been productive as productive in the second half of games.

967
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, part of it's just they didn't

968
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: have not operated well in some of those situations. Some

969
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: of it and maybe it has been conservative play call

970
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: and in some of those games you're to have a lead.

971
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: Some of it they've gotten sicks and been behind the

972
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: chains and dealing with longer down and distant situations. And

973
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 1: I think part of it has been, you know, their

974
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: inability to get first downs in the second half has

975
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: has kept them from being able to get into a

976
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: groove and to correct some things on the fly. This

977
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: team has now after the past couple weeks, has now

978
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 1: scored twenty points in the second half of games only

979
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: six and the fourth Chorus de Elevant scored a fourth

980
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: quarter touchdown. But twenty points in the first second half

981
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: of games compared to ninety five in the first half.

982
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: And it's hard to believe this team's been able to

983
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: win four games in a row with those limitations, all right,

984
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy talked about injuries earlier. As far as wide receivers concerned.

985
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: We saw the Titans sign of familiar face for the

986
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: Texans Chris Conley off the Chiefs practice squad, and a

987
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, first round picked trail On Burkes went

988
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,479
Speaker 1: to iar, what can you tell us about that wide

989
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: receivers group and how much shifting round they've had to

990
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: do this year. Well, let's banged up, and you're mentioned Burks,

991
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: and you know he's a guy that had big plans

992
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 1: for and then he got hurt in the first game

993
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: against the Colts and dealing with turf toe. That's going

994
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: to keep him out until at least in the middle

995
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: of November when the team plays Denver. So I think

996
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: the first time he'd come back is November the thirteenth.

997
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, this team this past week had Robert Wood

998
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: and Nick Westbrook a keene as It's two starting receivers,

999
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: A couple of guys who have been practice squad players

1000
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 1: here in the past. Code Hollister and Mason Kinzie each

1001
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: had catches in that game. You know they've they've had

1002
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: Josh Jordan here for a stint order the season. He

1003
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 1: has since been way from the practice squad. He played

1004
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: a couple of games, and now they're trying somebody else

1005
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: and really just trying to make it through, to be

1006
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: honest with you, and trying to get other guys involved.

1007
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw the tight ends have a bigger

1008
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: role this past week, especially Austin Hooper. We've seen Dinitro Hilliard,

1009
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: one of the running back behind Derrick Henry, have some

1010
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: games where he has made plays. But I'll be honest

1011
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: with them, and this is a receiving core that I

1012
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: think is probably not scaring a lot of people, but

1013
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: they're still winning and these guys are making plays at

1014
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: the right times for him. Okay, Well, Jim, I feel

1015
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: like every time we play, I asked you about Denico

1016
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: Autry and Jeffrey Simmons on defense, but I want to

1017
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: ask about some of the new faces because it looks

1018
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: like the Titans are getting some playmakers out of some

1019
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: new players that they pull up Andrew Adams how to

1020
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: pick six and then Terence Mitchell, who we saw here

1021
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: with Houston, he gets a forced fumble. What makes that

1022
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: Titans defense excel so much? Especially with all these new

1023
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: playmakers out there, well, yeah, I mean Rabel and you

1024
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,919
Speaker 1: know good deserves a lot of credit. I think John

1025
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: Robinson and his staff deserve a lot of credit for

1026
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: being able to find guys like that that can step

1027
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: in and help. I mean Andrew Adams and Terence Mitchell.

1028
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: You know, both came here on the same day or

1029
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: the season. Their lockers are kind of on an island

1030
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: in the locker room, and and they don't get a

1031
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 1: lot of attention, and then all of a sudden on Sunday,

1032
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, Adams has to pick six and as you mentioned,

1033
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,479
Speaker 1: Mitchell knocks the ball out and they able to seal

1034
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: to win. Just kind of a couple of unheralded guys

1035
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: who have been around the league but found themselves in

1036
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: a good spot and kind of bought into what they're preaching,

1037
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: into the culture around here. And it's been it has

1038
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: been different guys every week coming consistently. It is Jeffrey

1039
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: Simmons and de Nico Autre. Those guys are just incredible

1040
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: how disruptive they are. But Tier Tart, you know, a

1041
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: kind of a guy who does a lot of dirty

1042
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: work inside. He had you know, he he's made a

1043
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: lot of plays, including an interception, which is not something

1044
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: to see from a noose tackle very often. Bud Dupree

1045
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: returned to action this past week, had had They credited

1046
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: him with eight quarterback pressures, which is remarkable. You know,

1047
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 1: David Long is another player who flies under the radar

1048
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 1: but is consistently good for this team and and they

1049
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: just you know, continue to have guys rise to the

1050
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: occasion for him, and I think this team and this

1051
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: defense has a chance to keep getting better. A lost

1052
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: hay Old Landry before the season even started, which was

1053
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: a big loss for them, but they've had other guys

1054
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: step up and again doing it with some backups there

1055
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: doing it while they're waiting on some other guys to

1056
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: get healthy, but kind of gaining some confidence along the

1057
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: way and kind of get a little bit of a

1058
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: slagger about him in the process. Us. Okay, well, Jim,

1059
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: before I let you go, I gotta say, when I

1060
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: look at the roster, it just looks like a bunch

1061
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: of familiar Texans faces. I think I counted nine on

1062
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,240
Speaker 1: the active roster. That's not even including the IR guys

1063
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: and the practice squad guys. But have you guys ever

1064
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: talked to Mike Rabel about all his love for former

1065
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: Texans players on his squad. Is that just from seeing

1066
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: the same players in the division, Is it from coming

1067
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,479
Speaker 1: from the Patriots coaching tree? What do you attribute that too?

1068
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: And have you ever asked Rabel about that? Yeah? And

1069
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: he does. I mean he I think familiarity helps with

1070
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: bringing in some of these guys because he kind of

1071
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: knows what they're getting. But it is kind of uncanny.

1072
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: And it doesn't just stop at the at the roster either.

1073
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the coaching staff. Now, correct

1074
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. I named some of these guys.

1075
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,280
Speaker 1: But in addition to Rabel, who obviously was there, Shane

1076
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: Bowen is a former Texan coach. You know, they've also

1077
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: got Anthony Midget who's a former Texan coach. It seems

1078
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: like they've even had more with the staff. That's at least,

1079
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, you can't Abel, bow and Midget with the staff.

1080
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: That's that's three. And I know I'm missing somebody else there. So, uh,

1081
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: it's Pat has still there still. It's Pat O Harris

1082
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: still here. So, and it's Tim Kelly there is Tim

1083
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: Kelly is here still? Yeah? So you know, yeah, you

1084
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: know some of these guys better than I do because

1085
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: we I mean, they've been here for a while, so

1086
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: he does. He kept the band together over there. Yeah,

1087
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: and these guys have you know, they've all kind of

1088
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: fit in with rabels coaching style and his mentality. You know. Yeah,

1089
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: it helps that he knows them, but you know, also

1090
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,479
Speaker 1: helps that these guys are tough minded players and uh

1091
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 1: and all of them have done a good job helping

1092
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: the team. So I'm sure it'll be cool for them

1093
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 1: to come back to Houston this weekend and and return

1094
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: to their old stomping grounds. All right, well, looking forward

1095
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: to a gym three oh five. We're in that late

1096
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: time slot kickoff and earlier, like you said, not in

1097
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: December January, we're going to face up here in UH

1098
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 1: in week eight. Looking forward to the matchup. Jim, thanks

1099
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: so much for the time. As always, maybe thanks for

1100
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: having I'll see you this weekend. Man. It's something about

1101
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: here in a twining and Jim Wyatt's voice. It gets

1102
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: me excited about seeing the Titans taking them on on

1103
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: Sunday again. Kick is at three oh five. I'll repeat

1104
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: that a few other times to make sure you remember

1105
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,760
Speaker 1: three oh five. So We're so used to noon kicks

1106
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: at Energy Stadium. This one's at three oh five. Now,

1107
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: have you've seen Titans Texans the last few years, it's

1108
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: been at three or five kick in nineteen, in twenty

1109
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: and twenty one, and now getting into twenty two. In

1110
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, it was a it was a Monday night game,

1111
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: so night three or five, three or five, three or five,

1112
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: three or five. So staying consistent with this game against

1113
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: the Tights. Now, guy I hope is very consistent and

1114
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: has been very consistent this year. Is Jonathan Owens in

1115
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: his first full year as a starter at safety next

1116
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: to Jalen Petrie. Jo has been outstanding, physical, solid and coverage.

1117
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 1: That back end has been really really good. Has it

1118
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: been tested because teams have been able to run the ball. Now,

1119
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: you could argue maybe it's not been tested completely. There

1120
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: will be a Deshaun Watson siding. There will be a

1121
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes siding down the road at Dak Prescott et

1122
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: C Face. Derek Carr last week did a pretty good

1123
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: job sloan his role a little bit, maybe because Josh

1124
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: Jacobs was able to do whatever he wanted to in

1125
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: the run game. Point being Jonathan Owens has been really

1126
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: good at safety this year next to Jalalen Petri and

1127
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: I love that safety combination. And Drew Doherty stepped in

1128
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: for a little Drew's dozen. The man affectionately known as

1129
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: Jo Today's guest is straight out of Saint Louis. In

1130
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted

1131
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: free agent through an eighteen and in nineteen he was

1132
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: on practice squads and finally in twenty he made it

1133
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: to the active roster of the Texans. But it wasn't

1134
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: until this season twenty twenty two, when Jonathan Owens made

1135
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster to start the season. And

1136
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: now he's here playing some jangle with us. Jonathan, it's

1137
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: great to be with you. We got this one. What

1229
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: say it again. This is only for fun. It's a

1230
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: way to talk about the games, talk about the teams,

1231
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: and just talk about NFEL. So we're gonna do that.

1232
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: So get my music there. It is. I love of music.

1233
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: I love just having the music going while I'm talking

1234
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: is just it makes it so easy. It makes me

1235
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: un to sing, actually, and I can't sing. But I'm

1236
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: a shot because I'm gonna sing right here about the football.

1237
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: It's taking place in London and that's where we start.

1238
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: On Sunday morning, eight thirty local time, as the Broncos

1239
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: are taken on the Jaguars. Russell Wilson is doing high

1240
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: knees in the aisles on the flight to London for

1241
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: four hours while his teammates try and sleep. Yeah, mister Hardo,

1242
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't think gets it done. The Jags have been there,

1243
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: They've done this. They know how to go over to

1244
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: London and get a win. I think they will do

1245
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: it again. The Jackson favor about two and a half.

1246
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: It's not clear whether Russell is going to play or

1247
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: play in full. I don't think the Broncos are good

1248
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: either way, so I think the Jaguars are gonna get

1249
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: this done. I put this little, this little ditty in

1250
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: my By the numbers, the Jaguars is the only team

1251
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: in the AFC South with a positive point differential, the

1252
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: only team two and five. The Titans are minus thirteen

1253
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: four and two. So I don't know. You do the

1254
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: math and figure that out. But either way, the Jags

1255
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: have been playing much much better, just not getting wins.

1256
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: But they will get one in London, as they did

1257
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: last year when they beat the Dolphins. All right, let's

1258
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: get too NFC South action starting at noon as the

1259
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: Panthers go to the Falcons. AJ Terrell is out the

1260
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 1: corner for the Falcons, but I don't think it matters.

1261
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: I think PJ. Walker makes the Panthers a better overall team,

1262
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: but it won't matter against the Falcons. I think Marcus

1263
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Mariota bounces back. I think the Falcons get the win

1264
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: and the spread is four and they cover that four.

1265
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking twenty four seventeen. Falcons beat Panthers in the

1266
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: atl Bears going to the Cowboys and the Bears in

1267
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: a short week. They played in Gillette, Foxboro Monday night.

1268
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: Little Rainey called all that kind of stuff. Come back

1269
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: to Chicago. Then they gotta back on a bird on

1270
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Saturday and fly two Dallas and playing a noon game.

1271
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: Dallas is favored by ten. I think Dallas houses the Bears.

1272
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: No more Robert Quinn for the Bears. I don't know

1273
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: the number could have been high enough. I was taking

1274
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: Dallas any which way. Now, the Bears did gain some confidence.

1275
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: No Robert Quinn, short week and having to travel, I

1276
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: think Dallas houses the Bears. Lay the ten. Take the

1277
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys to win and to cover. The Dolphins are going

1278
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: to Detroit. Detroit will get DeAndre Swift back. That's big.

1279
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Last week Jamal Williams coughling up at the goal line

1280
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys in a big situation and that wasn't

1281
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: the deciding point in Alliance loss to the Cowboys, but

1282
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 1: didn't help in a twenty four to six lost the Cowboys.

1283
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: I think at a minimum, Detroit gets it covered. I'm

1284
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,439
Speaker 1: gonna go to Miami because I think two of being

1285
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: back helps Miami. The Detroit offense or defense is still

1286
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: not all that yet. I think TWOA does put up

1287
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: some points, but this feels like thirty one, twenty eight,

1288
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: thirty eight, thirty five, seven, twenty four, where it's a

1289
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: three point game at a maximum Dolphins win. Let's get

1290
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: the Lions a cover the Cardinals going to the Vikings.

1291
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: The Vikers are favored by three and a half. Now

1292
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: Vegas must not know the rich history the Cardinals have

1293
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: in Minnesota and for the last oh I think ten years.

1294
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: L l l l l L. Yeah, it sounds like

1295
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm repeating myself. Well that's the case. The Cardinals haven't

1296
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: won in Minnesota, they definitely haven't won a US Bank Stadium,

1297
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: and they go back up to their house of Wars

1298
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: where the Vikings are playing very very well. I think

1299
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: a three and a half is way too low. I

1300
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals, even though they have DeAndre Hapkins back,

1301
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: I think they're playing a formidable folk in a place

1302
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: where they don't play well against a team that is

1303
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: playing very very well. That's Vikings beating the Cardinals by

1304
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: more than three and a half. So that's a winning

1305
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: a cover for the Vikings. The Texans opponent last week.

1306
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: The Las Vegas Raiders go on the road and come

1307
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: down to this necat the Woods just a little bit

1308
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: further east, and that's New Orleans to take on the Saints.

1309
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: And the Saints are a mess right now. The Saints

1310
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: first round draft pick is going to the hands of

1311
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles, so if this thing continues careening down the drain,

1312
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: the Saints won't even be able to satiate themselves with

1313
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: the fact they've got a top first round draft ding.

1314
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: So they just got to do whatever to win games.

1315
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: This one's gonna be tough the Raiders with the Davante

1316
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: Adams Josh Jacob's combination. I think Derek Carr will play well.

1317
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Saints could score enough to

1318
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: stay with the Raiders. Let's get the Raiders. They win.

1319
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: They're favored by one and a half on the road.

1320
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't like road favorites, but I'll go with one

1321
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: here having seen them last week and knowing what the

1322
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Raiders are capable of. Raiders win and cover that one

1323
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: and a half. The Patriots are taken on the Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets. Now,

1324
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,959
Speaker 1: just like the Cardinals and the Vikings. Bill Belichick has

1325
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: hammered the Jets. Hammered the Jets. In fact, the last

1326
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: quarterback to beat the Patriots as a member of the

1327
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Jets some guy named Ryan Fitzpatrick back in twenty fifteen,

1328
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: seven years ago. That changes on Sunday as the Jets

1329
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: get a win. New England's favored by two and a

1330
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: half at MetLife. I think the Jets are gonna go

1331
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: get that win even without Breefe Hall. They stell Michael

1332
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: Carter in the backfield, that defense is playing lights out.

1333
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm given the Jets a win. Finally meeting Bill Belichick.

1334
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Dropping the Patriots even further than their three and four

1335
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: records indicates Jets win at home, and obviously, because the

1336
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Patriots are favored, they cover the spread. Steelers taken on

1337
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: the Eagles. It's a battle of Pennsylvania, baby, and it's

1338
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: not a governor's battle. Steeler two and five and they're

1339
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: taking on the Eagles. And the Eagles have a short

1340
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: week coming up because they play this game and then

1341
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: they fly to Houston taking on the Texans on Thursday night.

1342
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: Does that play a role in the Eagles is trying

1343
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: to get in and get out? I don't think so.

1344
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,759
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles just play their game. They're favored

1345
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: by eleven, and I think they hammer the Steelers. The

1346
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: Steelers just aren't going to be able to put up points,

1347
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 1: I think, and he Pickett will probably struggle a little bit,

1348
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: and that in turn leads to an Eagles win. I

1349
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: think twenty eight fourteen feels about right. That's a cover

1350
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: and a win for the Philadelphia e a g L

1351
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: e s, which I probably shouldn't do this week given

1352
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles in the Phillies connection, but it doesn't really

1353
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: matter because these Eagles are gonna win that game. Buy

1354
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: a couple of tuddies and beat the Steelers in the link.

1355
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: But that'll be all the winning that the Philadelphia teams

1356
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 1: too this week, if you catch my drift. All right,

1357
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: we get the afternoon games Texas Tides never pick against

1358
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: my heart in my head, but I like that two

1359
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: and a half point spread for the Texans. I think

1360
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: the Texans this week will feel good on Sunday, hopefully

1361
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: all r Let's get the afternoon game, so let's go

1362
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis, where the three and four Commanders are taken

1363
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 1: on to three to three and one Inniapolis Colton. If

1364
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: you missed the news earlier this week, Sam Ellinger, formerly

1365
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: the University of Texas is going to take over as

1366
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan quity Pay

1367
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: not in this game at all, so that means Nick

1368
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: Foles is the backup. So Austin, Texas represented very well

1369
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: by the Indianapolis Colts. Now Taylor Heineke has made the

1370
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: Commanders into a better football team. Now was it just

1371
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: a one time thing as they showed last week against

1372
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers beating them twenty three twenty one,

1373
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: or are the Commanders going to be that team going

1374
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: forward with Tyler Heineke at quarterback. I think it's probably

1375
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: somewhere in between. I think they got the Packers playing

1376
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: very very poorly, caught him at the right time. I

1377
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: think Heineke doing some things that he's done before. I

1378
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: think the Commanders will rally around him. But I think

1379
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: the Colts will bounce back. The Colts did not look good.

1380
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I think the Colts will play well around Sam Ellinger,

1381
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,879
Speaker 1: just like the Commanders are playing well around Taylor Heineke.

1382
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: So I think these two greedy, gutty quarterbacks a little

1383
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: bit of athletic ability are gonna make it tough on

1384
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: each side, but in the end, the Cults are favored

1385
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: by three. I think the Colts win by five, twenty eight,

1386
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: twenty three, that's the number. I'm going with. Colts win

1387
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: and get the cover. Now. Earlier I told you about

1388
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel for the forty nine Ers. He is out

1389
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: out out of this game against the La Rams. The

1390
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: Rams at three and three have been up and down

1391
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: and up and down. They've been in consistent all the year.

1392
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Same with the forty nine ers, both of them a

1393
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: consistent of the forty nine ers, Whichimi Grappolo quarterback the

1394
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 1: Ram said Matt Stafford. And maybe that's the difference. How

1395
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 1: did the forty nine ers get Christian McCaffrey more oriented

1396
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: into the offense. Especially with Christian McCaffrey out, we're gonna

1397
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: find out. San Francisco's favored by one and a half,

1398
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: in large part because the Rams have not played well

1399
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers own the Rams. I think

1400
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: it's the last eight times they've played it has been

1401
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: a forty nine Ers victory. But that changes on Sunday.

1402
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: The Rams, that's so far, will get the win even

1403
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: though San Francisco's favor by point and a half ago,

1404
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: with the Rams to win and obviously cover because the

1405
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 1: underdog in their own stadium in so far. Sunday this afternoon, boy,

1406
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: this this is how things have changed across the Enna

1407
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: felt the Sunday afternoon game on Fox Giants against the Seahawks.

1408
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: We all thought those two teams would be vying for

1409
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick in twenty twenty three. They

1410
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: are six and one and four and three, respectively. They

1411
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: have played extremely well in close games. The Seahawks have

1412
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: scored a ton of points. The Giants have been They've

1413
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,520
Speaker 1: jumped all over teams, turning the ball over. They've been opportunistic.

1414
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: Seattle's favored by three at home. I think these teams

1415
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: are very even. But in the end, I think it's

1416
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: gonna be Kenneth Walker, the running back for the Seattle Seahawks,

1417
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: to a lot of people like to know. The Texans

1418
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: liked him. I liked him. A lot of people liked him.

1419
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: I think he's the difference. Seahawks get a win and

1420
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: cover at home over the g Men. Sunday night, Bill's

1421
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: taken on the Packers Josh out against Aaron Rodgers. I

1422
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: think Rodgers and the Packers keep it a lot closer

1423
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: than eleven. They won't win. Bills win, Packers cover. And

1424
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,839
Speaker 1: then Monday Night, but this is a tough one. Brown's Bengals.

1425
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: Since Day's favorite by three, I'm going with the Bengals

1426
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: to cover. I think the Browns will lose hopefully, but

1427
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals will get a snarrow victory. It's gotta be

1428
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: narrow because they're faired by three. So when Bengals Browns covers,

1429
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: there you go. And those are your predictions each and

1430
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: every week, coming up huge to Methodist minutes in the

1431
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:23,600
Speaker 1: final word, Judeority. Right here in Texans All Access, we

1432
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: go on a funnel segment of this initiation of Texans

1433
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: All Access. On a wonderful Friday evening, maybe a little

1434
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: wet where you might be. This rain came in, so

1435
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,560
Speaker 1: hopefully that's gonna cool things back off, which would be

1436
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 1: kind of nice to be in late October, early November,

1437
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:42,520
Speaker 1: and it finally have we finally have some fall temperatures

1438
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:47,560
Speaker 1: that would be kind of nice. Finally, Yes, we play inside,

1439
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: so it's not a big big deal, I guess, but

1440
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: I just want to cooler, man. I want to feel

1441
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 1: like it's fall, that it didn't just go from summer

1442
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 1: to winter like it typically does. So hopefully this rain

1443
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: will bring a little cooler weather or all of us.

1444
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: I am John Harris Football, I know a sideline reporter

1445
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: and I love the conversations that Mark has each and

1446
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: every Friday with one of the great doctors from Houston Methodist.

1447
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: Last week, the discussion they had for about three or

1448
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: four minutes on concussions was absolutely fantastic. So what is

1449
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: it this week? Well, here's Mark and let's find out.

1450
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: Joining us right now on Houston Methodist Minutes. It's doctor

1451
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: Joshua Septimist. Doctor, how's it going today? Doing absolutely fantastic?

1452
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: How about you doing well? And that's because I'm not

1453
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: suffering from some kind of virus that I know about

1454
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 1: at the moment, But I wanted to talk to you

1455
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: about this. There are a lot of viruses and illnesses

1456
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: going around. We've come out of COVID, yet it feels

1457
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,599
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are getting sick and it's

1458
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: not just a cold, it's a virus. It's nondescript. Can

1459
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 1: you share any information on what might be going around

1460
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: or what people are experiencing absolutely, and you know you're

1461
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: not just perceiving it. You are one hundred percent correct.

1462
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: We are being flooded in Houston with influenza. So the

1463
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 1: first thing that people need to do is go out

1464
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: and get their flu shots if they have not done

1465
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: so already. But we are seeing not only influenza. We're

1466
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: also seeing what's called respiratori sinficial virus, which is a

1467
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: virus that typically affects very young children and the elderly,

1468
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: as well as rhinovirus, which is the most common cause

1469
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: of the common cold. But the cases of rhinovirus that

1470
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing this year, at least in my clinical experience

1471
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 1: and my colleagues clinical experience, seems to be more severe

1472
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: than it has been in years past. And of course

1473
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: we are still seeing COVID. So we've come out of

1474
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: COVID in the sense that people are not masking and

1475
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 1: social distancing anymore, but it is still out there yet.

1476
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that would help with all this stuff. Let me

1477
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: ask you this about rhinovirus. As you say, the common cold,

1478
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of different treatments on the

1479
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 1: market for this sort of thing. We had the vaccine

1480
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: for covid. Is there any other prevention for the common

1481
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: cold other than hand washing and taking vitamin c's or

1482
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: whatever else might be out there. So, unfortunately, there is

1483
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 1: no vaccine for the common cold. There are vaccines that

1484
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: are pretty close to market, I believe, for the respiratories

1485
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: and social virus. There's two of them that I know

1486
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: of that are in late stage clinical trials. But for

1487
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: the common cold, for rhinovirus and for the human coronaviruses

1488
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,759
Speaker 1: that are knock covid, which also caused the common cold,

1489
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,719
Speaker 1: It's really all about taking care of your body and

1490
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: making sure that you're washing hands. I will see none

1491
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: of these over the counter things like emergency and vitamin C.

1492
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: Think none of them are effective. I think that they

1493
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: make us feel better because we're doing something, but in truth,

1494
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: you're better off focusing on your health. Make sure you're

1495
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: getting good sleep, make sure that you're exercising regularly, make

1496
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,639
Speaker 1: sure that you're washing your hands. It's really the basics

1497
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 1: that make the biggest difference. And again, get your flu shot. Doctor,

1498
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: that's great information, Thanks so much for joining us. Have

1499
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: a great day. That's doctor Joshua septim Is from Houston

1500
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: Methodist the official healthcare provider of the Houston Texans Houston

1501
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 1: Methodist Leading Medicine. Oh yeah, this is that time of year, colds, flues,

1502
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: the uptick in COVID, which hopefully we're beyond it being

1503
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: a massive talking point. But like the flu, like the

1504
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: common cold, that's gonna be here now forever, and it's

1505
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: just a matter of how you handle it and how

1506
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 1: you get better and get back on your feet. My

1507
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: brother in law just got hit with it. I think

1508
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: he said the vaccine and the booster and he still

1509
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: got hit with it about two weeks ago, so he

1510
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: got hit with it pretty hard. So cold, flus, COVID,

1511
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:50,679
Speaker 1: it's all. It's all one big sick fest, which hopefully

1512
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: we don't want to see as we get near the holidays,

1513
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: especially thank Giving, Christmas, etc. And you know what, Halloween too.

1514
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Some people don't celebrate Halloween, but some

1515
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,600
Speaker 1: people like to live it up. I think my neighborhood's

1516
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,600
Speaker 1: doing it a Monday. I've heard some neighborhoods around here

1517
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: and moving it to Sunday so it doesn't interfere with

1518
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: the World Series. I don't know. Come by my house.

1519
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll have candy for you. You don't have

1520
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: to be dressed up, you don't have to be a kid.

1521
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: You come by my house and I'll just hand you candy.

1522
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: I guess I'll just sit out front and just do

1523
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: what I always do. I'm at a new house, though,

1524
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: so it's not gonna be like it used to be.

1525
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: My last year, my dog and my son and I

1526
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: just sat outside handy candy kids at a great time.

1527
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I'll probably the same this year. I guess at the

1528
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,839
Speaker 1: new house. It'll be kind of fun to see everybody

1529
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: in their costumes. But even if you aren't dressed up,

1530
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'll give you a beer some

1531
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't drink, so I don't have

1532
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 1: any beers, so maybe a water. So just stop by

1533
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: the house, all right, Nothing of that. Let's talk to

1534
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan Owens every single Friday, give the final word to

1535
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty. We heard a little Drew's dozen with Jo.

1536
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the true pregame football Friday interview

1537
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 1: with one of the Texas and it does happen to

1538
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: be Jonathan Owens. Here's Drew with the five don't word

1539
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: with jail. Time to get ready for the Titans. So

1540
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: nobody better to do that with than Jonathan Owens, defensive

1541
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 1: back for the Texans. Always good to be with you.

1542
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: So you got a nice challenge in front of you end.

1543
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: We'll get to the game in just a moment. But

1544
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 1: this has been a pretty wild season for you. You

1545
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: had never been on a fifty three man roster at

1546
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: the start of the season. That was a first, and

1547
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: you've taken off from there. You're leading this team in tackles.

1548
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: What have you learned the most about yourself in this time?

1549
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,719
Speaker 1: Just being resilient. Now, I just pride myself on tackling,

1550
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I wanted to have my

1551
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 1: niche or something that I would be known for, you know,

1552
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: especially you know when other team is looking at the

1553
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: game plan, and I never realized how much I'd like

1554
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: take pride in tackling until this year. You know, when

1555
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 1: you have to we come out of the gate with

1556
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: some of the best running backs. That's That's one thing

1557
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 1: I've learned about myself. Man, have you had to be

1558
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 1: different as a player in preparation for it During the

1559
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: week of practice with that in mind, knowing that you've

1560
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: got to be a little bit more physical than you

1561
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,799
Speaker 1: had been in the past. Yeah, I'm like my angles

1562
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: everything in practice every time, Like I mean, even when

1563
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: we're practicing and going against this out team and everything,

1564
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: like I make sure to tell the running backs like

1565
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: I need that look this week, you know, make sure

1566
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 1: you give me something. Maybe throw a stiff for him.

1567
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: You know what guy this week can do. So you know,

1568
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: I just you know, take it a little bit more

1569
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: serious than the years passed, just because I'm actually on

1570
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 1: getting reps now, so you know, it's exciting man for

1571
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 1: the challenge. All right. One of the challenges this week

1572
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: is a guy in a running back Textans are very

1573
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 1: familiar with Derrick Kennery. What do you have to do

1574
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: to stop him? You got to tackle him, man, hit him.

1575
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 1: Get as much as your body on them as possible.

1576
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: So that's just one thing. I look at a lot

1577
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: of guys who made good tackles on them, you know,

1578
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,719
Speaker 1: and I just want to see what they did good

1579
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: and what angles did they take, and you know what

1580
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: people didn't do as well on him. You know, I

1581
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 1: studied that as well, so you know, I just had

1582
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: to take my preparation to another level with them, just

1583
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: because we do see him twice a year, and I've

1584
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 1: gotten a chance just to watch him. The past three years,

1585
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: i haven't actually got a chance to play against them,

1586
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for it. How tricky is it when

1587
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: you're preparing during the week knowing that you might see

1588
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: one guy quarterback, you might see a different guy quarterback

1589
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: one Ryan Tannehill wants Rookie Molick wils what's that like

1590
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 1: as a defensive back getting ready? They do different things,

1591
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: you know. So one guy's more of a physical runner.

1592
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't really slide. Well, you know, that

1593
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: was a veteran quarterback. So you know, you just have

1594
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: to we get both looks, you know, So we prepare

1595
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: for both of them. It's just whoever we do get

1596
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: so to make sure we will be ready, you know,

1597
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 1: we just have to know who you're going against, you know,

1598
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: and know what their strengths and know what their weaknesses are.

1599
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: You guys are undefeated in the division. How important is that?

1600
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Keeping that going? It's very important, just because you know,

1601
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: you do play each other twice a year or so,

1602
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,640
Speaker 1: it's almost a slight rivalry every game. Let you go

1603
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: against an indivision it's a little bit more heightened. Everyone's

1604
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 1: out there. You know, anxiety levels are up higher. He's

1605
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: just ready. Man. You know it's always going to be

1606
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: a dog fight in the division. We gotta wrap things up. Halloween,

1607
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna dress up? Probably, what are you gonna be?

1608
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't think she didn't let me tell. Oh, it's

1609
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: that big a deal. Huh Okay, how about your favorite

1610
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: Halloween candy? Favorite Halloween canny. I'm gonna go with Reesis R.

1611
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 1: What do you hate to see go on the Halloween

1612
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: bucket when you get it? Tuts your roles also the worst?

1613
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: We wouldn't say the worst. Raise my hand alertly. It's

1614
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: not my favorite, but I like them really Yeah, psychopath

1615
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: And on that note, we'll wrap things up. Thank you

1616
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:15,759
Speaker 1: so much, Jonathan, best luck against the Titans. Absolutely, gim

1617
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: hel Jo Nied Joe to have a big ball game, Nied, Petrie,

1618
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: Stanley Nelson have a great big ball game. But need

1619
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: the front seven, most importantly, to have the best ball

1620
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: game they've had this year against Derek Henry is asking

1621
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 1: too much. I'm sure there's some of you thinking, yeah, maybe,

1622
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: but if they could just keep him from going off. Look,

1623
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: the last three times Derrick Henry has been on the

1624
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 1: field against the Texans. He's rushed for over two hundred

1625
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: yards in the game. In twenty twenty up there in Nashville,

1626
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: he also had two receptions for fifty two yards. That

1627
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 1: to me, that that's the killer. It's the receptions out

1628
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: of the backfield. If they're not getting him going, I

1629
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 1: could see them using him on screens, using them out

1630
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: in the flat any where he can get space and

1631
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: run away. And if he does, he's he's running downhill

1632
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: and that's very, very difficult to stop. It's going to

1633
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 1: take a lot of your pride, a lot of your

1634
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: soul and everything you've gotten your body to take down

1635
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry effectively for twenty five times. And I got

1636
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 1: a feeling when it comes to nutcutting time in this game,

1637
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the football. So that's gonna be twenty

1638
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 1: seven to thirty times. He had thirty carries last week

1639
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 1: against the Colts. He'll get I would think that many

1640
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: if the Titans are in the lead or just around it,

1641
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: because that's the best thing I do offensively. The average

1642
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five yards a game, and Henry's

1643
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 1: gonna pick up a decent majority of that I would

1644
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 1: think on Sunday against the Texans. So slow him down,

1645
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: give Davis time to throw, and let's go win this

1646
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: football game against the Tennessee Titans. Again. Kickoff is at

1647
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: three h five, so pregame radio will start with Seawan

1648
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,640
Speaker 1: and Seth on Sports Radio six ten at noon. I

1649
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: jump on at twelve fifteenth to make sure you know

1650
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: missed that. Then Mark Andre myself have the game call

1651
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: for you starting at three h five, and somewhere around

1652
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: six fifteen ish when the game is over, it's time

1653
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: for the post game. That means Sean Pendergast and Clint

1654
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: Sterner will be at NRG Stadium ready to rock and

1655
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: hopefully discussing a win over the Tennessee Titans. So let's

1656
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: go get that win. Hopefully the roof will be open.

1657
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: They'll be great. The roof is open. Play well, I

1658
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 1: don't know what the formula is, but whatever it is,

1659
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: find it and find it on Sunday to beat the Titans.

1660
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a four quarter game, I mean. And

1661
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: by four quarter game, you know what I mean, I'm

1662
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: not talking. You know, they change the rules or anything,

1663
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:44,640
Speaker 1: and in style three quarter game, no, it's always a

1664
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: sixty minute game. It's just a matter of this one

1665
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: won't be settled until sixty minutes have passed. It's all

1666
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: the way through. It's gonna be I think close all

1667
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 1: the way. Even if one team jumps out, I think

1668
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: the other team's gonna come back. But this is that

1669
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: one where the Texans can step up and say, you

1670
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 1: know what, you guys might have won the division. We're

1671
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: undefeated division right now. We're gonna stay that way and

1672
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: show that we truly can play with anybody in this

1673
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: division and anywhere, and then get set up for Thursday

1674
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: against Eagles where they're wearing the battle reds jerseys and helmet.

1675
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: That's next week task at hand, beat the Titans. Let's go.

1676
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: We'll see you big. Thanks to DP, to Drew, to Mark,

1677
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:25,080

1678
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 1: all of you for this and thank you so much.

1679
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time and as always, go Texans.
