1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody? Happy Friday to all of you out there. 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: We are less than forty eight hours away from Texans Jaguars. 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Part to the revenge factor, Yes, revenge is on the brain, 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: well at least on this brain, John Herrits Football and 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: outside of the reporter and the brain of the voice 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: of the Texans, Mark vandermir Mark. I know we shouldn't 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: talk about revenge, so to speak, but I want this one. 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: For a number of reasons on Sunday. How about you, Okay, 9 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 2: list the reasons. Give me the top two reasons other 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: than we need to get a victory in. 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 3: The worst way possible. 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: But why Johnny, Because after the win, after they got 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the win in Jacksonville, they just unloaded the clip yeah 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: of social media. 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 3: Look at us, We're so great. 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I always go back to twenty seventeen after 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: they had ten sacks here and they were like, we're Saxonville, 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, they lasted for a year. 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: Let them have their moment though. Yes, that was a 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: nice little moment for them. And since it's over, there's 21 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: nothing you could do, but tomorrow you can inflict some 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 2: pain on that you can and they had some doubts 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 2: going into that Raider game. And look, if the Raiders 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: get a two point conversion at the end, they kind 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: of look like idiots a little bit for the way 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: they handle overtime. Yeah, and by kind of, I mean 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: that would have been a major talking point on all 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: the national shows, and it almost was. Anyway that Liam 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: Cohne took the ball first. We want to run out 30 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 2: the clock. Really, how many ten minute drives do you see? 31 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: Now? 32 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: This team had a nine and a half minute drive 33 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: against San Francisco to open the game. 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: But Johnny, it's a hard thing to get a ten 35 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 3: minute drive. 36 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: In fact, if you're having a lot of success on offense, 37 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: you'd have to slow yourself down to make it a 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: ten minute drive. 39 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: Right, This is a good idea. 40 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: Let them have the ball first, even the Texans nine 41 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: and a half minute drive had that been an overtime, 42 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: and I know that's a weird universe we're looking at 43 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: right now, you still have thirty seconds at the end 44 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: to do something. It's crazy to take the ball first 45 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: in this day. I just think so. But it ultimately 46 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: worked for that because the Raiders, lucky for the Jags, 47 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: went for two. Had they kicked and gotten the tie. Well, 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: game over here we. 49 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: Are, Yeah, I I thought the Raiders handle it well actually, 50 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: because they going for two. They had an open wide 51 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: receiver in the back corner of the end zone. He's 52 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: wide open. Yeah, and Von Hamilton just gets his hand 53 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: up and knocks it down. But I just just had 54 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: we held on last week and they Devon Hamilton doesn't 55 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: get his hand up there. 56 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: We're both four and four. Yeah, I know. 57 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: And the difference is, you know, Josh heinz Allen knocking 58 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: the ball a CJ's hand as it goes forward and 59 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: Antonio Johnson gets on it, et cetera. 60 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: So but every week we say this, I know, And. 61 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: You know it's so funny you said that, because I 62 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: was driving up here this morning, I was thinking the 63 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: same thing. 64 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: I'm tired of saying that, Like I wrote my By 65 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: the numbers. 66 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: We've played four games at home correct Tampa Bay, Tennessee 67 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: and San Francisco, Denver. 68 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 3: We've had we're two and two. 69 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we lost two games by a total of four points. Right, 70 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: We've won two games by a total of thirty seven 71 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: point differential. I mean, that's why we're ninth in the 72 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: league and in point differential. 73 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: Right, and in close games since you pointed this out 74 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: last year, since they beat who they beat Indianapolis in 75 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: Week eight, and since then from that point forward, in 76 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: close games, the Texas are two to nine in close 77 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: in one score games, that is. 78 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: Not even single digit. I'm talking eight points or less. 79 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: And they've lost all five this year by eight points. 80 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: Are obviously a strong negative trend that they have to 81 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: do something about it. Can I interest you in a 82 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: number from the last meeting? 83 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: Oh? 84 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: Please do significant, Please do so? 85 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: You numbers last time Chub and Marx Chubb four point 86 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: two yards per carry, Mark's four point five yards per carry, 87 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: but Chubb nine carries Woody Mark six. 88 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: Now, this was a close game, as we all know. 89 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: Third down, you weren't great, you weren't subterranean, you weren't 90 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: zero for seven in the second half. But I look 91 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: at that and I think, can they hold on the ball? 92 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: And I know the line has some patchwork. 93 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: To do here. 94 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's gonna exactly how that's gonna look, but 95 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: it's gonna look different. But I think there are some 96 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: opportunities here. And get this, Johnny, I'll add to it. Okay, 97 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: ETN three point five yards per carry, bayshell tooton three 98 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 2: point five yards per carry. You actually did a pretty 99 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: decent job against the run last time. And the Jags, 100 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: I know they're third in the league against the run, 101 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: but I think that if you can, if and it 102 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: might be a big if, can get some third downs 103 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: to get more running opportunities, maybe you can do something 104 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: here on the ground. 105 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: Here's the thing. 106 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: It ends up being seventeen to ten Jaguars if Nico 107 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: doesn't fumble. There was about I think we were about 108 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: three minutes left when that happened. You probably are gonna 109 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: have the opportunity. I think you could have gotten another 110 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: first down. You could have run the clock all the 111 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: way out when I think thirteen to ten in a 112 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: fair baron last second. 113 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: Field goal, Oh possibly possible with another first down, Yeah, possible. 114 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: Or you have to kick it because now it's third 115 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: and you know, fourth and six or something, and you're 116 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: not gonna go for it. 117 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: But now you defend the field and if they get 118 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: the field goal, I mean, it's. 119 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: A totally different situation with the lead. 120 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: Now they're feeling the pressure because they got the ball 121 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: in a tie game after the Nico fumble, and then 122 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: they went down the field and they hit the big play. 123 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: They were a touchdown. Okay, I mean that's something that 124 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 3: irks to Miko. 125 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: It's okay, number one defense in the league, great red zone, 126 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: you blow coverage. 127 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: Gotta be much better, you know. 128 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 2: The coverage is one thing that just got him in 129 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: the range, in range to score in the red zone. 130 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: But they have not been what they need to be 131 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: in the red zone defensive. That said, look, I'm not 132 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: going to come down on the defense. My gosh, they're 133 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: doing a tremendous job. But he doesn't like that. He 134 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: wants perfection. 135 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: He does. 136 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: He demands perfection from them, and look he Demiko wants 137 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: it from the offense too. I think people are like, well, 138 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, he kind of treats him a kick. No, 139 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't. I can promise you'd just different. Yeah, exactly 140 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: behind closed door, closed doors. 141 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: That's the thing all coaches Koubiak was so nice, so friendly. 142 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: He probably got after it. By probably, I mean I've 143 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: heard stories. Yeah, got after them on a variety of things, 144 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: and rarely, you know, not unfair wise, but you know, 145 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: in a fair way, would chew them out. 146 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 3: We get after that. 147 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: There were plenty of donkey barbecues behind closed doors. Yeah, 148 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: so you know, take take that for what it is. 149 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: But wait a second, go back to one thing for me. Yeah, 150 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: you mentioned oh for seven last week in the second half. 151 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: Well that was last week, Okay. I thought you meant. 152 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,119 Speaker 1: I thought you meant against Jaxville because I was gonna 153 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: on top of we went over seven and second avagants 154 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: the Jagts. We were oh for seven or oh for 155 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: eight last week against the Broncos on third down. That 156 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: can that that just cannot be. I looked up at 157 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: one point and I saw that we had seventeen third 158 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: down opportunities, Like that's an insane number. 159 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So they weren't oh for seven, and the second 160 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: half again to the Jags, they were one for seven, 161 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: which is pretty bad because they were three for nine 162 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: in the first half. They end up going four for fifteen, 163 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 2: so or one for six or whatever. So not good 164 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: on third down in the second half. Yet you have 165 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: the ball in plus territory four times if you want 166 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: to count the possession of the fifty that was a 167 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: one play drive four times in the second half, and 168 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: you come away with three turnovers at a touchdown. So Look, 169 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: that game is over. We all know it, Jaggs. Is 170 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: the turnover margin that they have, they're third in the league. 171 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: Is that ranking up a gayzy? I don't know. They 172 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: get after the ball, so give them credit for being 173 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: plus eight. But you kind of hang out of that rock, 174 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: Davis Mills. You have to hang out of that rock. 175 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: Running backs and receivers, we cannot give them freebies in 176 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: this one. You're at home. It's last house on the 177 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: left time. Look you you park another number in the 178 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: L column right now, and you basically have to run 179 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: the table. We all know that you can afford to 180 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: lose two more times. This can't be one of them. 181 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: You still have games with Buffalo, Kansas City, the Chargers 182 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: on the road that colts twice. Who knows how good 183 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: they are. We'll find out personally. You cannot afford to 184 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: have this one be one of those l's. 185 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: And I don't know if it gets you in. Let 186 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: let's say that you do that, you do put one 187 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: on the L. Come then the mock draft simulators are 188 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: getting cranked up. 189 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. Probably. 190 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: And look I've already done, Johnny. I've never putting up 191 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: the white flag. You know that, I know I know 192 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: exactly you could go. 193 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: You get to seven losses, I'm not putting up the 194 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: white flag till it's over. 195 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: And I don't want it to be over because this 196 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: team is good enough to go on a run. It is. 197 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: It's good enough to go on a run, but it 198 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: needs better offensive execution. Demiko, everybody and their brothers pointed 199 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: that out. Stevie Wonder can see it. This offense needs 200 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: to be better. You can't have eight trips into the 201 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: red zone and have one touchdown. 202 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: You know what the beautiful thing is about that Stevie 203 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: Wonder joke. He kind of likes jokes like that. Yeah, 204 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: he's in favor of them. Remember he did the Saturday 205 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 2: Night Live. He did the camera commercial, the parody. It's like, 206 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: camera is so simple, even Stevie Wonder, and it's Stevie 207 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: Wonder using the camera. He's like and it's all he's 208 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: taking pictures of people's feet and it's hilarious and he's 209 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: clearly and I'm the joke and loves it. So good 210 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: for him. I thought i'd point that out before people 211 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: come after you. I got one more thing for you here, 212 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: Davis Mills right or wrong. So he's got twenty five 213 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: stars in this league, two and one against the Jags 214 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: all time. We could throw out all the numbers. He 215 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: has never taken the field in a start with a 216 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: team this good. Correct, He's never had this corotive team 217 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: around him offensively. You know, he's had some good players. 218 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: He's had Cooks, He's had Nico, but it was younger Nico. 219 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 2: But it was Nico, you know, young baby Nico making 220 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: some plays. And Will Anderson said that Demiko was showing 221 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: the guy's plays that Mills had made previously, to show 222 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: everybody Mills can throw the rock. You know, they if 223 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: you show him the second half against the Titans, show Yeah, 224 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: in twenty one, you show him. I don't know if 225 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 2: you show the game. I don't know if you're showing 226 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 2: the last play what at twenty two, twenty two? 227 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: No, but you show everything up to that. Because remember 228 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: that Gho shop. He had three throws a Viriano that 229 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: were just brilliant. 230 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: He did hit the fourth and whatever it was to 231 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: Cooks on the sideline was brilliant. 232 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: Right in front of me. I was like this, I mean, 233 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: it was as good a throw as I saw him make. 234 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: The best team he's had a round It's so funny 235 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: you bring this up because I was sitting there watching 236 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: practice today and I was like, Okay, Davis. Davis last 237 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: started a game in twenty twenty two, and it hit me. 238 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: I was like, how would the twenty twenty. 239 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: Two How would whatever offense they're going to trot out 240 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday due to injuries and things, how would that 241 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: offense fare going against are the twenty twenty two team? Like, 242 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: what would Davis Mills led twenty twenty five offense look 243 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: like against a only twenty two Texans defense or defense? 244 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: Or how about that schedule they played? Yeah, I mean, 245 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 2: you know, take your pick a little bit better. 246 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 3: I think. 247 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if you have ed Ingram and Titus Howard 248 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: in this game, if if you had those two in 249 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: this game, which you're not going to, but if you 250 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: had those two in this game, you got all your 251 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: receivers back healthy, you got Dalton fighting through some stuff, 252 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: but Dalton's ready to go. You have your running backs, 253 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: you'd have your offense other than CJ. You'd have Davis 254 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: stepping in. I would feel I don't want to say 255 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: the ultra confident, but I would feel a lot better. 256 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: My biggest thing is just not having that right side 257 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: of your line potentially, and that that to me, is 258 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for Davis against this pass rush, because 259 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: that means whoever you put over there is facing more 260 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: than likely treymon Walker. Now you might be josh Hanes Allen. 261 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: They might move Hinz Allen over to the other side 262 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: and just say, you know what, Ershree's gotten better, but 263 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: the guy over the right side's new. So lot of 264 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: things that you're gonna be ready by I start thinking 265 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: about that. Actually today as I was watching, I just 266 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: I have confidence that Davis will he doesn't get rattled. 267 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we see that on him. We've seen it 268 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: on him since his rookie heear in twenty twenty week. 269 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't get rattled no matter what the situation is. 270 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: And I felt like what happened in the second half, 271 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: there were two moments that I feel like, with more 272 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: opportunities to play, I think Davis would have hit the 273 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: throat a Dalton across the middle, and I think he 274 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: would have hit the throw to Kirk, And those are 275 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: not The Shultz throw is a little bit easier to 276 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: a little. 277 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: Bit tighter throw. The throw to Kirk is a tough one. 278 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: But I think if he's playing regularly, I think he 279 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: makes those throws because you get in a good rhythm. 280 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: You know, you've been playing for a few weeks. You've 281 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: probably run that route a few times, so you make 282 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: the adjustment if you missed it. Whatever. I think if 283 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: the Texas were to go back to those throws, I 284 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: think he makes them on Sunday as long as he 285 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: has time. And it's not as if the Jaguars are 286 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: in the world on fire with sacks, but they get pressure. 287 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: And that was exactly with Josh heinz Allen did in. 288 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: The first game. 289 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: I want to get an easy completion for him really 290 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: early in this one, just to get him comfortable, like 291 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: I made a completion, Let's keep it going. Get a 292 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: confidence making completion. R either that, Johnny or play action. 293 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: I've played number one and let it rip. 294 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: I need listen. Can you imagine that? You know my philosophy. 295 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: When you have a new quarterback, a young quarterback, and 296 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: an inexperienced quarterback, a quarterback hasn't played. Within the first 297 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: three throws of the game, I'm throwing one deep just 298 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: to let. 299 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: Him get that arm. 300 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely doubt, because you know he's wound up tighter than it. 301 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: You know what, and you just when you throw it deep, Yeah, 302 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: they can pick it off, but okay, it's an early 303 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: arm punt. Yeah, but most times it's way beyond the 304 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: wide receiver. But you've gotten all that anngst out. You're like, oh, 305 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: it's like you grunt and throw. 306 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: It as far as you can. You've gotten all that 307 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: angst out. 308 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: If you hit it and it becomes a big play, 309 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: it can change the game early and now he's got confidence. 310 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: And then if you hit it, now the defensive backs 311 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: are like, man, we got to back up a little bit. 312 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: But you get all the angst out, you get all the 313 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: anxiety out. You have a chance to hit a big play. 314 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: There's really no loss. Really. If they pick it off, 315 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: it's fifty something yards down the field, go on and 316 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: make a tackle. Okay, it's the first drive of the game. 317 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: But now the quarterback's gotten all that out. If you 318 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: just have these little like ink ink ink, just little 319 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: dinky throws, you're just still bottled up with all that anxiety. 320 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: It isn't until you whip a fastball twenty five yards 321 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: in the air or you throw one just haul off 322 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: and throw it deep. You get all that anxiety out. 323 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: So that's me. That's my philosophy. And it's interesting because 324 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: I didn't really think about that when I was coaching. 325 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: It was like a year or two after I was 326 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: done coaching where I realized, Man, I should have done 327 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: out my quarterbacks a little bit more. We didn't throw 328 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: it a lot, so it went a big deal, and 329 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: especially in high school, but in college and pros, first, 330 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: first three throws, I'm throwing that sucker deep. I'm just 331 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: launching it because I get anxiety with the short passing game. 332 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes you feel like you're playing in a box. Right, 333 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: don't get more anxiety. 334 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: Don't get a tipball? Right last night? Right, don't get 335 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 2: a tipball. Happened to both teams. You gotta be really 336 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: careful with that. So all right, maybe I've changed my mind. 337 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: Instead of early easy completion, how about both one early 338 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: easy competition and one go deep d just to get 339 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: the kinks out and make the defense think a little bit. 340 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: But I think we're both in agreement that you got 341 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: to run the football. You have to find a way 342 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: to get yards on the ground. I know he's got 343 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: to be good on third down and all that extent 344 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: drives to get those opportunities. 345 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: But you have to eat on the ground somehow. 346 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: You got to get to third and this defense, you 347 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: got to get to third and four, third and six. 348 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: We were not in Jacksonville that one for seven. We 349 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: were not in third and six. We were third and twelve, 350 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: we were third eighteen, all those kind of things. So 351 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: the guy that will be in charge of all of this, 352 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: if Mark and I are anxious, this guy is not 353 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: Tamika Ryans. 354 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 3: Mark caught up with him right here. 355 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: Coach, last time you played them, your backs had a 356 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: good yard per carry average, just didn't get all the 357 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: touch that you probably wanted. What's it gonna take to 358 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: run the ball well this time? 359 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna try a little different skin. 360 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 5: We're gonna try a little more outside zone with would 361 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 5: he try to get him run and try to really 362 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 5: push these guys to the sideline, allowing Woody to play 363 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 5: with great vision, press the edge and possibly cut back. 364 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 5: And I think we can, you know, really hit some 365 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 5: bigger plays in the run game this week. 366 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: How about Davis Mills With a full week of practice, 367 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: house preping before. 368 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: And prep has been really good with Davis. 369 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 5: It's really loved his command in the huddle, nice communication, 370 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 5: like how he controls the offense. He's done a really 371 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 5: nice job working with the cadence this week. You just 372 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 5: tell like he's been there before, like he's not. It's 373 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 5: not his first time doing it, not his first rodeo. 374 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 5: He stepped in. He's done a great job of leading 375 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 5: all week and I'm excited to see him play on Sunday. 376 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: The Jacks are still way up there and turnover March 377 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: and what makes them so good taking the ball away and. 378 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 5: What makes them good is they get after the football 379 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 5: like they're flying around and they are punching at the 380 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 5: football every chance that they get right. If the ball 381 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 5: is high, their DB's do a great job but batting 382 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 5: the ball up and they've come down with a lot 383 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 5: of interceptions. So for us, we got to have great 384 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 5: ball placement from the quarterback. Receivers got to play with 385 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 5: aggressive hands attacking the ball, and our backs are tight 386 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 5: end whoever whoever is running with the ball, we gotta 387 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 5: do a great job making sure we're securing the ball 388 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 5: off hand on and secure the ball to the ground. 389 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: You did a pretty good job against the ground game 390 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 3: last time. What does that take coach. 391 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to take our d line building that 392 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 5: wall up front. We had to play strong, especially inside 393 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 5: with our d tackles. Our ends have to do a 394 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 5: great job of setting edges, and everybody has to tackle 395 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 5: really well, starting with our corners, our safeties, our linebackers. 396 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 5: We gotta fit, we gotta feel aggressive, and we got 397 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 5: to knock them back. 398 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: How important is this home crowd. This is the third 399 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: game of your home stand. You need them today to 400 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: make noise. 401 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 5: Definitely need them, Definitely need them, and more important this 402 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 5: week because this offense a right. Their offense only operates 403 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 5: by doing alerts and checks at the line of scrimmage. 404 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 5: So how can we make it difficult for them. We 405 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 5: can make it difficult by our fans being loud, being 406 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 5: rowdy the entire time that the Jacksonville offense is out 407 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 5: out there. We need to make communication a headache for them, 408 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 5: and our fans will be the impact. They would be 409 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 5: that twelfth man to change the game for us. 410 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 2: Their kicker made an NFL record field goal last week, 411 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: So when they get to the fifty, I guess they're 412 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 2: in range. I mean field position is a premium in 413 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: this one. 414 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 5: Field position is a huge is huge this week. They 415 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 5: have a great kicker. We also got the Nico Autry 416 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 5: out there. We got him taking a little bit worried 417 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 5: about Ausrey. But no, we have to do a great 418 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 5: job defensively, like once that ball, if it gets around 419 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 5: me at field, we got to do a great job 420 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 5: of really holding them, not giving up any leaky yardage. 421 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: Never mind the field goals for that. But matthew Wright, 422 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 2: what about the kickoff game, because that's really important. 423 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, the kickoff game, it will be important. We're going 424 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 5: to put the ball in play, allow our guys to 425 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 5: go go hunt, go cover. We got to do a 426 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 5: better job of getting off of blocks and finishing a 427 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 5: kickoff game. And for us kick return, like, let's create 428 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 5: an explosive run and I want to see us. 429 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: Go score on kick return. Coach, thanks a lot, good luck, 430 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: Thanks Mark, tremendous nuggets that one with Demiko Mark, very 431 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: very good stuff. All right, Greg Bailey ABC thirteen cut 432 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: up with a key guy as well. I think Dalt 433 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: Schultz he's got to play well. He's got to have 434 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: at these five receptions. They talked about that right here. 435 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 6: Take me back inside your preparations. You and Davis to 436 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 6: get on the same page, all of your teammates to 437 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 6: get on the same page, so he can go out 438 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 6: there and cut it loose and play really well for 439 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 6: you guys. 440 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, dude, honestly, the prep kind of doesn't change week 441 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 7: to week. What's nice is Davis and I have actually 442 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 7: been watching film together for since the beginning of the year. 443 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 7: We always try to go get a headstart on third 444 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 7: downs and red zone, so we've been kind of seeing 445 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 7: things and talking about things for a while. So just 446 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 7: having another guy that you know hopefully sees it the 447 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 7: same way as is good, especially the process. Like I 448 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 7: know our processes are very similar, so I'm hoping that 449 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 7: that leads to some good things. 450 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 6: Your teammates have told us how much they always appreciate 451 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 6: his professionalism. What does that mean in regards to his approach, 452 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 6: because he makes it very clear I prepare to play 453 00:19:58,800 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 6: every week he does. 454 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 7: I mean, you see that with the way that he 455 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 7: goes out, Like your backup quarterback is usually getting scout 456 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 7: team reps during the week, and so like his plays 457 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 7: are really against our defense, and like, dude, there's some 458 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 7: weeks where Dude, he's dicing people up. So you can 459 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 7: see it in the way that he prepares. I see 460 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 7: it in his process firsthand, and then you see it 461 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 7: when you go out in the practice field, like there's 462 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 7: no slouch dude. Like he's out there competing just like 463 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 7: everybody else in the opportunities that he gets. 464 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: So seventeen catches for you. 465 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 6: The last three weeks, what's started to click for you, 466 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 6: and that role kind of continued even when Davis came 467 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 6: into the game after CJ got hurt. 468 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, dude, nothing special. I'm literally just doing my job, 469 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 7: like be where I need to be, execute the way 470 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 7: that I need execute, and just be available. 471 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 6: Your faith in your teammates.

Why do you 475 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 6: believe in this group so much to get this thing 476 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 6: on track? And your words, find that extra player too 477 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 6: that you guys. 478 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 8: Need, Dude, I believe in the work. 479 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 7: Like to me, confidence and leadership is based on the 480 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 7: work that you're able to put into the process, and 481 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:08,239 Speaker 7: I've seen it. 482 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: I've seen that. 483 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 7: I've seen guys like Davis who are backups that are 484 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 7: committed to that process, committed to the work, and dude, 485 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 7: something's got to give. Man, Like you keep working the 486 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 7: right way, you keep doing the right things, you keep 487 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 7: preparing the right way, like at some point you're going 488 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 7: to break through. You never know when that moment is, 489 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 7: you never know when your numbers is gonna get called, 490 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 7: But approaching it professionally and through that process, eventually good 491 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 7: things are gonna happen. 492 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 6: Jacksonville has done such a great job forcing turnovers. What 493 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 6: stands out from their defense as you study their tail 494 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 6: do they fly? 495 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: They fly around. 496 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 7: They got two real cerebral linebackers, and they got good 497 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 7: dvs on the back end and their front. Dude, their 498 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 7: front's really good too. So it's like their defenses is 499 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 7: a problem. And again yeah, they're they're capitalizing on those 500 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 7: mistakes that offenses have made. So we're going to do 501 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 7: our best to stay up tight, handle what we need 502 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 7: to handle, and keep moving the ball forward. 503 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: We look forward to it. Well, thank you very much. 504 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: All Right, we've already into the preview a little bit. 505 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: Let's get in full with this game preview. 506 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: Mark and I on the Jaguars. Let's go, Johnny This 507 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: is a rematch. Week three Texans lost to the Jaguars. 508 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 2: It was turnover city in the fourth quarter and the 509 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 2: Jags end of the field, plus the Texans got a 510 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 2: touchdown in that quarter, somehow lost the game because of 511 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 2: the turnovers. Really defense played well enough to win. This 512 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: is a little bit of a different situation. Now you 513 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: have Davis Mills going for the Houston Texans. 514 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: You have the. 515 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: Jags at five and three, feeling pretty good about themselves 516 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 2: after their overtime win against the Raiders. 517 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, both teams dealing with a lot of injuries. 518 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: That's one thing that we know in the NFL, once 519 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: you get to Week ten, in particular, you could be 520 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: as healthy as you want. Up into Week ten, I mean, 521 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: the Texans were as healthy as they could possibly be. 522 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: Now you're going into this game potentially without the right 523 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: side of your line. You started quarterback, you're starting kicker, 524 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: and maybe others that you're gonna be without in this game. Jaguars, 525 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: same thing. Their receiver corps has decimated. This why they 526 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: went out and traded for Jacobe Myers. They're missing Travis Hunter. Defensively, 527 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: they're banged up. Eric Murray, former Texan who had kind 528 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: of solidified that secondary. He's going to be out, So 529 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: you've got opportunities on both sides to kind of take 530 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: advantage of all Right, the Texans right side of the 531 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: offensive line, Oh, the Jaguars secondary. Which team can take 532 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: advantage of the issue, so to speak, the injury issue? 533 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: The best will walk out of there with a win. 534 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 2: All Right, Three things to look out for Josh heinz Allen, 535 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 2: three names, three things. He's the first thing really got 536 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 2: to keep him off. Davis Mills and Arianta Ersari had 537 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: him last time. Heinz Allen got some things done, knocked 538 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 2: the ball on that final pick and CJ threw and 539 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: tended for Kirk Well, you have to have the clean pocket. 540 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 3: Long enough for Davis Mills. 541 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 2: The Jags are very good at sacking the quarterback last 542 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: in the league, so very bad as a matter of 543 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 2: fact collectively. 544 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 3: But heinz Allen is a thorn or a dagger in the. 545 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: Side, and he has been ever since he got the 546 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: Jacksonville I mean, he just even if Vlaramy Tunssel was 547 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: a left tackle, or he's going on the other side 548 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: against Titus, or he's going against other tackles, He's just 549 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: always been a thorn in the side. He's so I 550 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: stood next to him on the field one time when 551 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: he when he came up there's a play ended up 552 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: on our sideline. 553 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: I just remember kind of gawking at him, like, dang. 554 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: He's long, but he's strong and he's explosive off the ball. 555 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: He doesn't just roll off and let his power do 556 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: it for him. He's powerful and fast, and that is 557 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: really what created problems, especially on that last play, because 558 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: it looked like Ariantae had him. It looked like he 559 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: was away from CJ, that CJ could step up and 560 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: hit Christian in the end zone and Josh heinz Allen 561 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: just reached out with his long left arm was able 562 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: to get the ball and that was the you know, 563 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: the ultimate play in that game. 564 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 3: And so keeping him. 565 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: Even just away from the pocket is going to take 566 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: a couple of people. Now, who all do you devote 567 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: to it? Ariante has improved since that Jacksonville game. Let's 568 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: be on. He has improved, but you still need the 569 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: insurance of, hey. 570 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 3: We're gonna let Woody go over here. 571 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: Now here's the issue. Because of that, and because of 572 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: the injuries, you may not have Titus that right tackle, 573 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: so you have to go over and help Blake. If 574 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: Blake is going up against Treyvon Walker right and does 575 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: Josh heines Allen then move over there to go against Blake, 576 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: then you help on outside. So there's a lot of 577 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: decisions that Texans have to make, but the biggest one 578 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: they have to make sure is that forty one Josh 579 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: heines Allen doesn't wreck the game. 580 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: Okay, another thing to watch out for Travis Etn. This 581 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 2: is a top ten runner in this league, very physical, 582 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: having a good season. I think he's much more of 583 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: a concern for this defense than Trevor Lawrence himself. 584 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 3: Am I right, yes? 585 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: And I remember about this and know your foe this 586 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: week that when Travis Etn has a great ballgame, define 587 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: great however you want, but when he's getting twenty to 588 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: twenty five touches combine receptions and Carrie Jacksonville's offense is 589 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: tough to stop. 590 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 3: Last week against the Raiders, he got a ton of carriers. 591 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 3: Now he didn't get a ton of yards. 592 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: He ran I think twenty two times for like eighty 593 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: five this yards. 594 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 3: But that was enough. 595 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: That was enough to keep the Raiders off balance. And 596 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: then Trevor threw it pretty well throughout the second half. 597 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: Etn is the driver, he's the engine. You must tackle him, 598 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: and there have been. He's been there since we faced 599 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: him since twenty two. He was in You're in twenty one, 600 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: but we faced him since twenty two, and he has 601 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: been difficult to tackle every time we have played him. 602 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: The tackling has got to be at a premium. And 603 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: when you get banged up and guys aren't as fast 604 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: as the ball as maybe they were in one or 605 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: week two, now you need more guys there because he's 606 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: gonna pinball maybe off the first two, three, four, five, 607 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: sixth guy in. They've got to finish the tackles and 608 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: make sure that a three yard run doesn't turn into 609 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: a nine yard run, that an eight yard run doesn't 610 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: turn into a twenty eight yard run, because that's what 611 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: he can do to you. 612 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence unimpressive numbers, quarterback rating below eighties, six picks, 613 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 2: nine touchdowns, completion percentage below sixty and this is not 614 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: what they envisioned in year five, yet here they are 615 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: at five and three. 616 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: I'll give you another thing to watch out. 617 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: For, Cam Little because he kicked us sixty eight yarder 618 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: last week, and it's bombs away with the Jags. In 619 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: the field goal department, he kicked a seventy yarder in 620 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: the preseason. Now, he hasn't always been the most consistent 621 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 2: and the opposing field goal kickers tend to miss against 622 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 2: the Texans, But when they get to the fifty, they're 623 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: gonna go forward. If they have that opportunity late in 624 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 2: the game, they're down three or they're within that, they 625 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: can do it with Cam Little from the fifty because. 626 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: That's a sixty eight yarder right there. 627 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: We play on turf and we play inside. Yeah, he 628 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: doesn't have to deal with the weather, the elements. But 629 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: one thing he has to deal with, and this fascinates me, Deniko. 630 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: He has to deal with Deniko Autry. Why the Raiders 631 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: did not have Max Crosby on the field as a 632 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: field goal blocker on the sixty eight yard field goal 633 00:27:59,520 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: is beyond me. 634 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: He was over on the sideline. They have it on 635 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 3: NFL films. 636 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: He's remarked, He's like, oh man, he said some words 637 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: that I can't stay. 638 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 3: On the radio. 639 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: He should have been on the field. Dadiko Austry will 640 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: be on the field the Texans do a great job 641 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: of scheming. Did he go up to potentially block field goals? 642 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: So that's one thing he does have to worry about. 643 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: And against us in Jacksonville, he missed a big one 644 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: in the second half, So that's when you know, though, Okay, 645 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: all I gotta do is get to the fifty. 646 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, think about a. 647 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: Late game situation and maybe we're up to and Trevor 648 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: sitting there going with sixteen. 649 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: Seconds left, they get a touch. 650 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: Back, they take the ball to thirty five, they throw 651 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: a dig route to midfield, spike it. Hey, we'll try 652 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: sixty seven yarder off turf indoors. 653 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 3: They'll absolutely do it. 654 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: So you got to make sure that you can little 655 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: proof this game that he doesn't have a shot to 656 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: do something like that at. 657 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 4: The end of it. 658 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 2: All right, Sleepers of the Game presented by Mattress from 659 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 2: the official sleep Parker of the Houston Texans. 660 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 3: Who do you have this week? I'm going Jake Andrews 661 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 3: at center. 662 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: Now, it's a little different for Jake this week because 663 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are a little bit more They kind of 664 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: more for a little bit, but they play a little 665 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: bit more even front stuff. So they'll kind of move 666 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: around a little bit, but it's a little different from 667 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: what Denver does. That's really not even the biggest point. 668 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: The biggest point is he may have two different guards 669 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: next to him. 670 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 3: He may have Lacn and Juice. 671 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: He might have, you know, other guys. But he's got 672 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: to get used to having if Laken and Juice are 673 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: in the game. He's not had a game this year 674 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: where both of them have been next to him, so 675 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to. 676 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 3: Work through some of that stuff. 677 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: And when Jake plays well and they can get a 678 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: body to a linebacker, they run the ball well, and 679 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: the Texans must absolutely right in stone one thousand percent. 680 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: The Texans must get a body on Ventro Miller, Devin 681 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: Lloyd or Foyer Lukun. They have to get a hat 682 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: on a linebacker. The Jaguars are third in a league 683 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: in rush defense because those guys running the ball a 684 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: lot of times on Debated, you got to get a 685 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: guy there. 686 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 3: Jake Andrews is the guy. 687 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: Who controls him out in the middle. 688 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 2: Better figured out. We haven't talked about Davis Mills much. 689 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 2: He's not my sleeper, but Davis needs a big game. 690 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 2: He's four or five and one in his career against 691 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 2: the AFC South. He's done it before he could do it. 692 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: But here's my real sleeper. Matthew Wright plays a cool 693 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: because with fair baron hurt right presst into duty. 694 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 3: This team tends to kick some field goals. 695 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 2: Johnny, I don't know if they've been aware of this, 696 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: So you have been around, so you're gonna have to 697 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: convert those. This is an important job. This is sometimes 698 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: taken for granted with the really good kickers in this league. 699 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 2: You're importing a kicker to replace your injured kicker. He's 700 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: got to do the job and if he does. 701 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 3: He might walk out of there with a win on Sunday. 702 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely, he's former Jaguar. The year that he kicked for 703 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, I think it's twenty twenty one. He's twenty 704 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: one to twenty four, right, I mean that's all standing 705 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: for his career. 706 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 3: I think he's eighty six eighty seven percent. It's a 707 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 3: revenge game for Matt, Yes, revenge game for well. 708 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: We have a lot of those because he played for 709 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: a lot of teams. Look, he's got to just come 710 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: in make the field goals you should make, and and 711 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: the kickoffs oh yeah, can't make a mistake any kickoffs, 712 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: giving them a touchback at the thirty five or kicking 713 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: one out of bound, trying to be too cute and 714 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: give it to him at the forty. Yep, you've gotta 715 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: be just be solid. 716 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 2: Just let him return the ball, kick it inside the 717 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 2: ten and take them shot with the cut you guys. 718 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: Guys. 719 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 3: Yep, let them do their job and that's it. 720 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: Texans JAG Sunday at noon, Go Texans. 721 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: All right, great stuff from Mark and I, if I 722 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: should say so myself.

Take a list. We had a 732 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: fun time talking to coach a. 733 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: Coach Steven had to go gay with us here and 734 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 2: studio coach, how's it going good? Have are you so great? 735 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: Fresh off the practice field? So how's it going this week? 736 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: Getting ready for the Jags? Take us through that. 737 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: First of all, it's been good. 738 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 4: The guys are locked in focused. 739 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 9: Obviously division opponents, so someone we're familiar with, so I 740 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 9: get they're excited, obviously ready to get back in the game. 741 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 2: Tell me this, coach, because it's noticeable how you've occasionally 742 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 2: put on a uniform let your guys hit you. You 743 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 2: let them hit you a lot when you're going through 744 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 2: tackling drills. You take us through that. You try to 745 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 2: make it interesting for them at the same time as 746 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: teaching them fundamentals and whatever whatever else you tell us. 747 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 9: I think just you know, obviously, no doubt you want 748 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 9: to find different ways to keep the guys energized and 749 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 9: ready to go. But I think just giving them a target, 750 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 9: like letting them, you know, putting on a crash pad 751 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 9: and you know take me to the ground. You know, 752 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 9: obviously trying to protect them first and foremost, But you know, 753 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 9: I just want them to get better, that's all it is. Like, 754 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 9: you know, I don't want them to feel like, man, 755 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 9: I want to hurt my teammate. You're about to go 756 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 9: out to prectic. 757 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 4: Man, you can hit me. It's perfectly fine. 758 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 9: So man, it's just whatever it takes to help those 759 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 9: guys get better, you know, And I'll be all right. 760 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,719 Speaker 4: You got a cold tub here. It's really nice. 761 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: As a former coach who once did that often, when 762 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: I saw you, I was like, salude, you just went 763 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: up my coach rankings because of that. So I'll ask you, 764 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: and I know I did for high school kids, and 765 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: I know they were chomping at the bit because they're like, 766 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: every time that coach gave me a donkey barbecue, I'm 767 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: gonna take it out on him. Where there were a 768 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: couple of them that were like, you know what, coach, 769 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: you chewed me in that film session. 770 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 3: You're about to feel my wrath. Did you have any 771 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 3: of that happening when you had the pads on? 772 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 9: No, man, those those guys always put forth their best effort. 773 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 9: I just wanted to have a good, clean, safe, tackling rep. 774 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 9: So whatever that looks like. 775 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 2: Each and every week, coach take us through the progress 776 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: of killing Bullock year two. Hard not to notice. I 777 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: mean he's all over the field making plays. How's he doing, 778 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 2: How's he's progressing overall. 779 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 9: Kaitlyn, I mean, obviously we see his athleticism and his 780 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 9: speed on display. A guy who studies, guy who puts 781 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 9: in the work, I mean, I think he's really elevated 782 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 9: his game, not just in terms of taking the ball, 783 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 9: but just growing as a player, just the way he studies. 784 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 9: And obviously with experience, you know, you recognize things a 785 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 9: lot faster. So a lot of times last year he's 786 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 9: probably seeing things for the first time firsthand. He might 787 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 9: hear things from vets in the room, but experiencing them 788 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 9: and seeing them for the first time, and now it's 789 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 9: second time around, It's okay, it's muscle memory now and 790 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 9: he knows how to react even maybe a step faster 791 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 9: than before. 792 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 4: So it's been good. 793 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 9: And I think the vets and the guys with experience 794 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 9: in the room tremendously help m J. Stewart, Miles Bryant, 795 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 9: Jimmy Ward as always, and Jalen Mills as well, So 796 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 9: they've all helped, and it's helped you Jalen Reid as well. 797 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: Coaching his role in Kaylen's role. When you talk about experience. 798 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 1: It feels like there's so many items that you could 799 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: talk about just experiencing the defense, understanding the defense, but 800 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: then and also understanding receivers, what receivers, what particular receivers do, 801 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: what particular quarterbacks like to do. 802 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 3: How much is that a part of his growth as well? 803 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: Understanding that, hey, quarterback X likes to do this, he 804 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: always looks to his left before he goes right, or 805 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: he looks underneath before he goes deep, all those kind 806 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: of things. How much is that playing a role for 807 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: Kaylin as well? Learning those kind of things. 808 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 9: I think that plays a big part of it, because again, 809 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 9: at the end of the day, there's a lot of 810 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 9: quarterbacks who get paid a lot of money to make 811 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 9: big tome throws to big time receivers. So you try 812 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 9: not to let something override what you would refer to 813 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 9: the almost common sense, like, man, the game's on the line, 814 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 9: I know they're going to throw this guy to the 815 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 9: ball right, but you still need to see it happen, 816 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 9: like you still got to confirm it with your eyes. 817 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,439 Speaker 9: But also to the situations of the game, Like every 818 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 9: snap there's a situation. So let's say it's first and ten, 819 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 9: where they want to do. Where are they on the field. 820 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 9: If it's first and ten on the minus five, they 821 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 9: might just hand the ball off to try to create 822 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 9: the space it was first ten, first and ten, maybe 823 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 9: in the logo area theyve okay, we got a chance 824 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 9: to just take a free shot and run some type 825 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 9: of gadget. So just understanding the situation of the game 826 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 9: as well as what you know to be true based 827 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 9: on your film study. 828 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 3: Coach MJ. 829 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 2: Stewart last offseason, here we are and he was acquired 830 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: or reacquired kind of late in the game or late 831 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 2: ish after the first waiver or to a free agency 832 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 2: and we thought this is one to watch, and certainly 833 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: is because starts a bunch of games really important to you. 834 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 3: What do you see from him? 835 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 2: What can you tell the listeners about what he brings 836 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: to the table that's so good for the Texans? 837 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 9: Just consistency, very very very very intelligent. Guy asks a 838 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 9: lot of questions, good questions, questions that can be challenging, 839 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 9: make you think and okay, what would happen in this situation? 840 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 9: Things that may have never put on tape, but it 841 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 9: makes you think. And even as a coach, okay, I 842 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 9: may make sure, I cover all those situations. 843 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 4: In the meeting room. 844 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 9: So I mean his mind is, like you know, it's 845 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 9: trying to solve problems, and he wants to be that 846 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 9: for the room. So things that happened happen. He wants 847 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 9: to be able to go out there and problem solve fast. 848 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 9: So I mean it makes me better as a coach too, 849 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 9: And I think obviously he helps the younger guys too 850 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 9: because he hadn't always been a starter. He's obviously had 851 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 9: a big role on special teams, but just the way 852 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 9: he works, the way he shows up in the office 853 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 9: day in and day out, whether he's a starter on 854 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 9: defense or not, has always been consistent. 855 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 4: I think the guys can admire that. 856 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. 857 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 3: Coach, What can you tell us you mentioned Jalen Reid earlier? 858 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: We saw Jalen in preseason, I mean a training camp 859 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: for a little bit, got hurt, then we didn't see 860 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: him and we haven't. You seen him on special teams 861 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. What do you tell us about Jalen 862 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: reading his progress? 863 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 4: I mean he's developing. 864 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 9: You know, obviously he missed some training camp, so those 865 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 9: are obviously valuable reps. But again, when you have guys 866 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 9: in the room like a M. J. Stewart and Jayalen 867 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 9: Mills who've played a lot of football, a lot of 868 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 9: football in different positions, whether it's time safety. Both of 869 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 9: them played corner and nickel before in the National in 870 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 9: the National Football League. 871 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 4: So like just pouring into Jalen. 872 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 9: And you know, obviously it's kind of an accelerated process 873 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 9: when you get activated during the season without those training 874 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 9: camp reps. But I mean he's coming on and again, 875 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 9: like he's going to have you know, learning curves and 876 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 9: things like that. But he's picking up, you know, right 877 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 9: really left off in training camp, and I'm excited for 878 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 9: his future. 879 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 2: Coach, we have a lot of season left, But let 880 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 2: me just take you into the off season for a moment, 881 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 2: just on a typical basis, how involved you get in 882 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 2: scouting out other safeties in college or maybe potential free 883 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 2: agents that might become available that kind of thing. And 884 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 2: these discussions have to be really collective with the organization. 885 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 2: But how do you see it because you have an 886 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 2: opinion on these things. 887 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 9: I'm sure it's just one of those things. It's obviously 888 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 9: a collective effort, and you know, when it comes down 889 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 9: to it, I just do it, do what's asked to me. Yeah, 890 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 9: So that's just you know, that's kind of the process 891 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 9: like when we go through the evaluation. Obviously, you know 892 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 9: there's different names that come up in the draft process 893 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 9: or free agency, but you know it's all relative. You know, 894 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 9: it's I just focus on coaching my position and do 895 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 9: what's asked to me. 896 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 4: When it comes to that kind of stuff. 897 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you never know who you're gonna get at because 898 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 2: you might think about three four guys and all of 899 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 2: a sudden, he jail and reed. 900 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 3: I like him, but I never expected this happen. That 901 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 3: kind of thing. 902 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 9: And I mean, I would say during one thing during 903 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 9: the evaluation process is as you're evaluating college guys, you 904 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 9: know you try to turn over every stone. You never 905 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 9: know what's gonna happen. Where the guy might be online 906 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 9: projected as a first round pick or undrafted, doesn't matter. 907 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 9: Just evaluate them, and you know, you never know where 908 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 9: things go. So when somebody presents something to you, you 909 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 9: do your best with your evaluation and giving you honest feedback. 910 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: Coach. 911 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 3: This week it's Jacksonville Jaguars. 912 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: It's the first time this year that will play a 913 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: team a second time what's happened when we've had the playoffs. 914 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: We played the Ravens the second time. There's so much 915 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: difference between those weeks. But it happens with the Vision 916 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: opponents every year. You play them twice a year. As 917 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: you get ready for the Jaguars, you know, really having 918 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,479 Speaker 1: scouted them the first time in week three, how much 919 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: and what does anything change in how you prepare for 920 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: them this time? Do you want to look for things 921 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: that are different, look for things that are the same. 922 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 1: How do you go by scouting a team a second 923 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 1: time when it's been just seven weeks since we played 924 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 1: them last. 925 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 9: I would say obviously any times familiarity, it's obviously identifying 926 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 9: the personnel and things like that, but everybody sell scouts. 927 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 9: So something they did in the first two weeks before 928 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 9: they played us, right, we put this on tape, and 929 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 9: then when they played us, they might have done one 930 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 9: thing right. And obviously they still have their call sheet 931 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 9: and things they liked against us, they may not have 932 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 9: actually called, so they might still keep that. So it's 933 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,399 Speaker 9: just you know, it's week to week and also too, 934 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 9: like in terms of health on both sides, like they 935 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 9: might have a bunch of things schemed up for X, 936 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 9: Y and Z, But if those guys aren't playing, it 937 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,479 Speaker 9: really is irrelevant to playing the Texans. So each week 938 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 9: is his own beast. You kind of, you know, you 939 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 9: kind of go with the flow the game. You go 940 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 9: in with an idea, but after you know, you know, 941 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 9: after a couple of series, it's like, okay, this is 942 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 9: the flow. 943 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 1: Right. 944 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 2: When people watch football, the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinators 945 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 2: get a lot of airtime. They'll play caller and that 946 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 2: kind of thing. You see a shot of them. But 947 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 2: tell the listeners what you do as a position coach 948 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 2: or coaching safeties. Tell them about what you do on 949 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 2: game day during the course of those three hours. 950 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 9: Coach, I would say, just first, you know, obviously being 951 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 9: engaged with your guys after each series, like what's going 952 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 9: on in the game, what are they seeing? And so 953 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 9: when you have you know, the tablets on the game 954 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 9: on the sideline during the game, obviously after the series 955 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 9: you review the plays that you sit down with the guys, 956 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 9: you know, you go through the tablets, see what they 957 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 9: saw and things like you know, what you just did 958 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 9: on tape, So like maybe a guy slipped in coverage 959 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 9: and they might think that guy might be open. They're 960 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 9: going to come back to that play, you know, so 961 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 9: just understanding what do we do the last series, what 962 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 9: are they seeing, what are we presenting, and you know, 963 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 9: just making adjustments there throughout the game. And obviously it's collective. 964 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 9: So after you know, first two, three, four series, they 965 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 9: might not have done something that they've consistently done on tape, 966 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 9: and it's like, man, you got to stay alert so 967 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 9: we don't get caught napping on a certain series. So 968 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 9: it's really just you know, almost like a game of 969 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 9: chess throughout the throughout the game is just you know, 970 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 9: being alert, being ready for whatever happens, but also relying 971 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 9: on your training and don't need the chase ghosts. 972 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: So just just to confirm, you guys only get still 973 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: shots still pictures. 974 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 4: Correct, That's correct? 975 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: Okay, College Dave now throwing the fact that you can 976 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: watch some video, It's crazy. How would you feel if 977 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: you had video to actually watch during a game. 978 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 3: As opposed to just the still shots? 979 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: How would it change the coaching realm in the NFL 980 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: if they allowed that? 981 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 4: Uh? 982 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 3: Would you rather have that than the still shots? 983 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 4: I would just roll what we have?

I think that's all like a 1001 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 9: privilege obviously to be in that role. But they're just 1002 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 9: the things you see from the outside, and the type 1003 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 9: of skills that are acquired, particularly with the Air Force 1004 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 9: and the different aircrafts they get to work on. I 1005 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 9: think that's really really exciting. And you know, it's an 1006 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 9: important job. You got to take pride in any branch, right, 1007 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 9: you know, those guys and ladies go out there and 1008 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 9: risk their lives day in and day out, and you 1009 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 9: know you never take that for granted. 1010 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 1: If you happen to be in top Gun.

Last name starts to a call 1020 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 3: you Aces. 1021 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 4: It's creative. 1022 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 3: It's not like it. 1023 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: I mean I like it.

I mean, that'll be good. 1025 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 2: We asked Dino, by the way, if he'd ever put 1026 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 2: on the pads and allow his guys to hit him. 1027 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 3: He said, no way, He's not gonna do it. 1028 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 2: Doing it so you are definitely alone, very difficult to 1029 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 2: tackle as well. 1030 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 3: We've noticed this, like you fight for extra yards. 1031 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 9: You know, if I was, if I feel like I 1032 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 9: was a little bit more petite, you know, I probably 1033 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 9: have to step away. 1034 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 3: That's kind of in studio again. 1035 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 4: But yeah, you gotta protect yourself too. 1036 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: Truly, to protect yourself coach nice so much for joining us. 1037 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 2: Good luck this weekend time. 1038 00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 4: I appreciate it. 1039 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: That's subtle. The shot is just beautiful right there from 1040 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: coach ay Man. That was awesome. All right? Coming up 1041 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: the injury report and on a Friday, it's the status report. 1042 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 1: Who is out? Oh boy, we know a couple of guys, 1043 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: but there are a few more to add to it. 1044 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: But the Jaguars have a few out as well. We'll 1045 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: discuss all at XT on Texans All Access. Yes, sir, 1046 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: welcome back to this Friday ed issue of Texans All 1047 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,720 Speaker 1: Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, 1048 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: Jean Harris Football and a Southern reporter for your Houston Texans, 1049 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: and each and every Friday for a Sunday game, basically, 1050 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: it's two days before the injury report turns into a 1051 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 1: status report, tells you who's in who's out. This thing 1052 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: is rock solid. It's always, especially from weeks ten through eighteen. 1053 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 3: And then it's the playoffs. 1054 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: Most important thing you can get because you figure out 1055 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: who's out, who's in, and how you go about playing 1056 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: this game. So we got a lot to discuss. Let's 1057 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,399 Speaker 1: look at the Texans. We already know that CJ Strod 1058 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,919 Speaker 1: is out, Davis Mills will start. I think mentally we've 1059 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 1: come to grips with that. I think as soon as 1060 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: CJ went down last week, as soon as he was 1061 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: there and got hit and was lying on a turf 1062 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,240 Speaker 1: for the medics ran out to get him, I realized, Okay, 1063 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: this is probably gonna be Davis Mills for this game 1064 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,720 Speaker 1: and the next game at a minimum. So I already 1065 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: knew that looking forward to Davis. We talked about this 1066 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: in the game preview. Knee Davis to step up in 1067 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: a big, big way. At the end of the game, 1068 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: there was a play and I can't remember which one 1069 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: it was. I can't remember. I think it might have 1070 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,839 Speaker 1: been the bow knicks, not scramble, but designed run around 1071 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: the left side. I think Jalen on that play got hit. 1072 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie got hit on that play. He was a 1073 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: little slow getting up. He is in a concussion protocol. 1074 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: He is out. Once we knew he had a concussion. 1075 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 1: We knew he was gonna be out. Titus Hour had 1076 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 1: a concussion. He went into locker room about three or 1077 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: four minutes left in the first half. He is also 1078 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: out ed Ingram, who's the right guard next to the 1079 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 1: right tackle tight is Howard ed Ingram's been dealing with knee. Now, 1080 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: with that knee, he ended up going back into the 1081 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,439 Speaker 1: game and playing the second half of that game. Don't 1082 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,720 Speaker 1: know how but he went back in. He is out. 1083 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: So if you're keeping track thus far, you have your 1084 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: starting quarterback out. You're starting nickel most probably most versatile 1085 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: chess piece you have on defense out the right side 1086 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 1: of your offensive line out thus far. Kymie fairban we 1087 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 1: knew was gonna be out coaching discuss that during the week. 1088 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 1: Matthew Wright will be a practice squad elevation when that 1089 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: transaction comes out. I think it'll come out tomorrow at 1090 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: some point in the afternoon. Oh, we're all watching college football. 1091 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: Kymie fairbarn is out dealing with quiet issue. Matthew Wright 1092 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 1: will kick. He of the eighty six percent career field 1093 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:09,760 Speaker 1: goal make percentage not bad. Christian Harris linebacker also out. 1094 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: Jakob Johnson is out. I don't know that they have 1095 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 1: officially reinstated him, but he is out with the hamstring 1096 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: game though he practiced all week. That's good news now, 1097 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: if there's good news. Will Anderson junior, Denico Autrey, Braxton, Barrios, 1098 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 1: Harrison Bryant, Nick Chubb, Dylan Horton, Damian Piersteld Schultz all 1099 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: practiced in full of those. Harrison Bryant is questionable. So 1100 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 1: what we need to figure out is who's playing right guard, 1101 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: who's playing right tackle. Is it as simple as Blake 1102 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: Fisher goes to right tackle, just Scruggs steps in at 1103 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 1: right guard, Lake and stays at left The two guards 1104 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 1: play the whole game and we rock on. Don't know. 1105 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: We've seen this before in the past number a couple 1106 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 1: of years ago when CJ went down, everybody would go 1107 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: talk to Davis at his locker and I'll tell you 1108 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: a little secret, Mark, and I actually knew that Case 1109 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: was going to be starting. We'd actually gone out to 1110 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 1: practice five minutes earlier that week than we were supposed to, 1111 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,439 Speaker 1: and we looked out and the offensive practicing with Case. 1112 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: We watched it all week. Everybody go talk to Davis 1113 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 1: and the Case ends up starting against the Toilers the 1114 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: Titans Texas and winning that game. So it might be 1115 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 1: an opportunity for others. They are the tackles you have 1116 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: Jerk Kingston, you also have Trent Brown. Those guys weren't 1117 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 1: likely are gonna have to be active, and they weren't 1118 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,720 Speaker 1: active last week. But to have eight offensive linemen active, 1119 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna be active. Then will they start, will they play? 1120 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,800 Speaker 1: Don't know? Will you play sixth offensive lineman the entire game? 1121 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: You might do that, especially with Harrison Bryant being banged 1122 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: up in Dalt Schultz being your only tight end. There 1123 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 1: are a lot of things at play this week against 1124 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now the Jaguars, they will be without 1125 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 1: starting offensive guard Ezra Cleveland. They will be without corner 1126 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, who gave us all kinds of issues last time. 1127 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 1: Hunter long the tight end. I actually was watching the 1128 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,320 Speaker 1: game back against the Raiders. He had a nasty fall. 1129 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: Once I saw that fall, I was like, he's gonna 1130 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: be out of this game, and he is. And number 1131 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 1: one wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior is out. So you're 1132 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: talking about the Jaguars without Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas 1133 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: Junior at wide receiver, Jordan Lewis in the secondary, and 1134 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: Eric Murray went on IR this week their other starting safety, 1135 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 1: so they're dealing with issues as well. They just had 1136 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. They're starting quarterback, which in some cases against 1137 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 1: the Texans has been a good thing. Some cases it's 1138 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 1: been a not so good thing. So to reiterate out 1139 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 1: for your Texans Kymie Fair, Baron, Christian Harris, Titus, Howard, 1140 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 1: ed Ingram, Jalen Petrie, c J. Stroud, and Jakub Johnson, 1141 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: questionable Harris, By, Harris and Bryant For the Jaguars, Ezra 1142 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: Cleveland offensive lineman, cornerback Jordan Lewis, Titian Hunter, long and 1143 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,359 Speaker 1: wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior. All right, there are other 1144 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: games going on this week other than Jags Texans. I 1145 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: will pick them for fun, straight up and against the spread. 1146 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,320 Speaker 1: Next right here on Texans All Access. 1147 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 3: What's happened everybody? 1148 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 1: We go one half of the show in the books, 1149 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: another half left to go.

Then we get to 1151 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 1: hear from Jake Hansen to finish up our two hours, 1152 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,800 Speaker 1: and then of course Mark will take you from eight 1153 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,839 Speaker 1: to nine on a special Friday edition of Texans All 1154 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 1: Access as well. But I appreciate you being with me. 1155 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: John Harris, foot Painals sideline reporter for your Houston Texans 1156 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 1: and my favorite segment. And I don't always get a 1157 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: chance to do it because we might have extra radio 1158 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: and you have extra interviews, and we got to make 1159 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 1: sure we get them in. I don't always get to 1160 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: make my predictions, but this week I do straight up 1161 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 1: and against the spread for fun. For fun, it's just 1162 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: a great way to talk about the NFL and the 1163 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: things that are going on and all the teams and 1164 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 1: everything that's happened. Man, it was a wild trade deadline. 1165 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 1: So let's talk about these games, hit some of the 1166 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 1: key points and then make our predictions again. Say it 1167 00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,720 Speaker 1: with me, everybody, for fun, but straight up and against 1168 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 1: the spread. So let's start in bird Land. We're going 1169 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: to Germany. In fact, the Falcons and Colts are already there. 1170 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,720 Speaker 1: The Colts are a six and a half point favorite, 1171 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: I would say on the road, which is actually the 1172 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: Colts home game, and a mod Sauce Gardner will play 1173 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 1: for the Colts for the first time. As much as 1174 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 1: I would love the Falcons to knock off the Colts, 1175 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 1: I would love it, and I think the Falcons will 1176 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 1: push the Colts. I think Bejean Robinson finally has one 1177 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: of those games but it's gonna fall short. However, the 1178 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 1: Falcons will get inside the six and a half, but 1179 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 1: the Colts will come out of there thirty one twenty eight. 1180 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 1: They'll win it by three. Falcons cover, Colts win in Germany. 1181 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 1: All Right, it's get to the noon games and the 1182 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 1: Browns are taking on the Jets. Now, the Browns two 1183 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,320 Speaker 1: and six, Jets are won it. But these two teams 1184 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,359 Speaker 1: are intriguing as hell to me, just because of what 1185 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: the Jets did with their trades this week and the 1186 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 1: Browns with Dylan Gabriel at quarterback in New York. The 1187 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,400 Speaker 1: Browns are a two and a half point favorite, but 1188 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: I think that win last week for the Jets is 1189 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna give them a little bit of a kickstart. They're 1190 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: playing at home. Yeah, there's no Sauce Gardner and Quinn 1191 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 1: Williams is gone, so maybe take the over here. But 1192 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 1: it's not if the Browns are gonna score a ton. 1193 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 1: I think this game is gonna be pretty low scoring, 1194 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: but I'm going with the Jets to upset the Browns 1195 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Win two in a row for the 1196 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: first time in a couple of years. Let's go j Ets, Jets, Jets, 1197 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 1: win and get to cover obviously, Okay Bill's Dolphins, Oh 1198 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,439 Speaker 1: boy game down in Miami, where Buffalo is an eight 1199 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. Dolphins traded Jalen Phillips, They 1200 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,760 Speaker 1: did not trade Devon a Chan, They did not trade 1201 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle. They kept their offensive firepower that will keep 1202 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: the Dolphins in the game. However, the Bills are coming 1203 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 1: off that big win against the Chiefs. I think that's 1204 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: the kind of win that gives the Dolphins a be 1205 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,439 Speaker 1: twelve shot, kind of boosts them going forward. I think 1206 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 1: the Bills win this, and they win it big. I'm 1207 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 1: saying thirty four to seventeen that covers the eight and 1208 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 1: a half. Bills go and dominate in Miami. One of 1209 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 1: the games of the day. This is awesome. The Tom 1210 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 1: Brady Bowl. The Patriots are taking on the Bucks down 1211 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: in Tampa. Bucks coming off bye week. Patriots gotta win. 1212 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: Eat one out against Antlanta. Patriots got that win, but 1213 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,720 Speaker 1: now they're going to Tampa Bay. I think the Bucks 1214 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 1: favored by two and a half. Vegas is telling you 1215 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots are a half point better on it. I 1216 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 1: don't believe it. I think the Bucks are gonna win 1217 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 1: this by a touchdown. Lets go thirty five twenty eight 1218 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: Bucks get the win in the cover or the Patriots 1219 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: in Tampa, Giants take on the Bears. Bears are five 1220 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 1: and three, playing much better. Big win last week for Chicago. 1221 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,360 Speaker 1: Now they take on the Giants. Giants lost Camp Scattaboo 1222 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 1: kind of lost a little bit of a momentum. Now 1223 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,280 Speaker 1: two and seven. She was favored by four and a half. 1224 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,800 Speaker 1: That was told many engs ago four or five. Still 1225 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: four and a half, five point spread. A lot of 1226 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 1: times Vegas doesn't know what to do. I know what 1227 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: to do. I'm picking the Bears. They're hot, they're playing 1228 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 1: at home. Caleb's doing some tremendous things. I'm going Bears 1229 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:38,400 Speaker 1: to beat the Giants at home and do it by seven. 1230 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 1: We'll go twenty eight to twenty one. Jackson Dart will 1231 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,839 Speaker 1: do enough to keep it close. The Bear's gonna win 1232 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,320 Speaker 1: this thing. Caleb Williams started to turn to corner a 1233 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: little bit. Bears go to six and three with the 1234 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 1: win and the cover. The Battle of the Purple the 1235 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:56,279 Speaker 1: Barney Bowl. The Ravens three and five travel to Minnesota 1236 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:02,120 Speaker 1: take on Jay J. McCarthy and the Vikings Baltimore's favored 1237 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: by four and a half on the road. I think 1238 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 1: the Ravens will win this game, but I do think 1239 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,280 Speaker 1: the Vikings will keep it close. I think the Ravens 1240 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 1: defense healthier now than they were when the Texas played him. 1241 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,239 Speaker 1: I think they we have JJ McCarthy some issue, but 1242 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: McCarthy can move, he can run, and that'll keep it 1243 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: close enough. But the Ravens will walk out of there 1244 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,240 Speaker 1: with a win. Go Vikings, p'll cover, but the Ravens 1245 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 1: are gonna end up winning that ballgame. All right, It's 1246 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: go to the Panthers and the Saints. Panthers playing some 1247 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 1: really good football. They upset Green Bay in Green Bay 1248 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 1: last week. Panthers are five and four, the Saints one 1249 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 1: to eight. Tyler Shuck gets a second start. Carolina favored 1250 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: by five and a half. I think the Saints are 1251 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: that I'm sorry, I think the Panthers are that much 1252 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 1: better than the Saints. So I'm going Panthers. Bryce Young 1253 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 1: leading the way, rico'ddell doing some great things. The offense 1254 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 1: puts up enough points, the defense is playing better. As 1255 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 1: I pointed out this week, We're going Panthers to win 1256 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 1: this thing by ten. Let's go twenty eight oh by 1257 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 1: up twenty eight to seventeen. Panthers in Charlotte Cardinals with 1258 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 1: newly named starter Jacobe Brissett, coming off a win over 1259 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: Dallas on Monday night, travel to Seattle. If iget about it, 1260 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,719 Speaker 1: the Seahawks are good. Seahawks are damn good, and the 1261 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 1: Seahawks will win this game, and they'll win by more 1262 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,440 Speaker 1: than six and a half. The Seahawks are good, and 1263 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 1: I mean really really good. They showed it last week 1264 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 1: against the Commanders. I think they showed again against the Cardinals. 1265 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: They gonna win and a cover at home in Seattle, 1266 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: where is tough to beat them. Lion's taking on the 1267 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: Commanders the rematch the NFC Championship game. Both teams banged up. 1268 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 1: Commanders Jaydon Daniels, they're hurting. I think the Lions, a 1269 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: favorite at seven and a half points, are gonna go 1270 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 1: and win this game. But the Commanders are gonna get 1271 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 1: a back door cover. It's gonna look ugly for a 1272 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 1: long time, but in the end, the Commanders will get 1273 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,680 Speaker 1: a touchdown and cut it to seven to spread seven 1274 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 1: and a half, give the Lions the win, but the 1275 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: Commanders the cover on the road, Great ball game Sunday 1276 00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 1: afternoon Niners Rams in San Francisco, Los Angeles is favored 1277 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 1: by four and a half. I think the Rams are 1278 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 1: better than forty nine ers. I think the Rams go 1279 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 1: into San Francisco, get the dub and cover the four 1280 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,440 Speaker 1: and a half. But it won't be easy and they 1281 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: won't be pretty. But the Rams are gonna win this thing. 1282 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,080 Speaker 1: Twenty one twenty one fourteen. How about that they win 1283 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 1: by seven Steelers Chargers. I think we want the Steelers 1284 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 1: to win. I think we want the Steelers to win, 1285 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 1: so let's go with it. Chargers are favored by two 1286 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 1: and a half. But I did say earlier I thought 1287 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 1: the Chargers win, So yeah, I'm gonna go with the 1288 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 1: Chargers to win it cover over the Steelers, although we 1289 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 1: need the Steelers to win. And there you go your 1290 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 1: predictions for this weekend through Sunday and night.

It's a feel 1309 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 1: good Friday, So let's talk to Demiko Ryans. 1310 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 3: Right here, it's studio with US coach Tamiko Ryans, coach. 1311 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 1: Great to see you, Great to see you, guys, will 1312 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:38,840 Speaker 1: all right here we go. 1313 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 2: It's Jacksonville week and we'll review the game against the Broncos. 1314 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 2: But I wanted to start here without knowing whether your 1315 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 2: quarterback is available or not, among others, how does that. 1316 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 3: Affect game planning? Because you have to get started on 1317 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:50,880 Speaker 3: that right away. 1318 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 5: As we start with game planning, we'll start with Davis. 1319 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 5: Like we know, we have to prepare as day as 1320 00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 5: if Davis is playing. Just having guys in a custom 1321 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 5: protocol as I've been here, is not many times that 1322 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 5: a guy's had a concussion on a Sunday and played 1323 01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 5: the following Sunday is just hard to pass all of 1324 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 5: the steps that you need to pass. So we'll prepare 1325 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,080 Speaker 5: and press forward. As if Davis has started, does. 1326 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 1: It help an all coach that A is a division team, 1327 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,000 Speaker 1: be you've already played him this year? 1328 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 3: Does that help at all? 1329 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: I know it's a few weeks ago, but does that 1330 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 1: help in any way for that situation? Any help I 1331 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 1: can get out? Take you? 1332 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 2: No? 1333 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:27,919 Speaker 1: No, it should help. 1334 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,840 Speaker 5: That's being familiar with their defense, right, you know the structures, 1335 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 5: you know how they're going to try to attack us, 1336 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 5: So it should speed up the planning process and just 1337 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 5: see how these guys have adjusted what they've done differently 1338 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,760 Speaker 5: since we played them, And of course they'll look at 1339 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 5: us the same as well. But it should help us 1340 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 5: in our preparation. We should know the things that we 1341 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 5: liked and work things that didn't work, kind of stay 1342 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 5: away from them, so hopefully it speeds everything up. 1343 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 2: If it is Davis having a full week of practice, 1344 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 2: that's got to be a big help as well. And 1345 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 2: the fact that he did play on Sunday against the 1346 01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 2: Broncos it helps a. 1347 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 5: Lot, you know, when you go in knowing that, hey, 1348 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 5: you're getting all of the reps with the starters, it 1349 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 5: should help him as he preps because I always believe 1350 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 5: you have to practice well to play well, so for 1351 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 5: especially the quarterback position, so always tell for a backup quarterback. 1352 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 5: So I think it's one of the toughest jobs in 1353 01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 5: the league, right when you don't get many of the reps. 1354 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 5: Most of your reps are on scout team. You have 1355 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 5: to make sure you mimic those reps and make them 1356 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 5: as realistic as possible, but they're not real reps. And 1357 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 5: then you're asked to get thrust into a game at 1358 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 5: any given situation at a pretty tough moment. Right anytime 1359 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 5: you lose your starting quarterback, it's tough for everybody, but 1360 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,360 Speaker 5: you're asked to go in and operate as if you're 1361 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,240 Speaker 5: the starter. And thought Davis made some good plays. He 1362 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,640 Speaker 5: did some good things in the game. I think he'll 1363 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 5: be better having a full week of work. 1364 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 3: Canda answer my question, coach, That's where I was going 1365 01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 3: to go. 1366 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Taking all of that into account, you're kind of you 1367 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,880 Speaker 1: coming in as a middle reliever in some sense, you know, 1368 01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 1: as opposed to a starter, and that offensively. Once Davis 1369 01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 1: went in, what did you see when you went back 1370 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: and you look at the films? 1371 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 3: Good things, some things you gotta work on. 1372 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 1: What did you What did you find out as you 1373 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 1: went back and looked at it again after the game. 1374 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, as I watched the film, I thought, you know, 1375 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,080 Speaker 5: there were times he made some good, good throws, good 1376 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 5: decisions with the football, made some really nice el conversions, 1377 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 5: and there were other times I thought, you know where 1378 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 5: he could kind of slow it down. He's kind of 1379 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 5: going through this progression a little too fast. I think 1380 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 5: he can slow it down. And we have some other 1381 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 5: opportunities there that I know he would want back, some 1382 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 5: third down opportunities. We had one down the middle to 1383 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 5: Christian that I thought we could hit on third and 1384 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 5: fifteen and another one adulting there in the strike zone area, 1385 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,919 Speaker 5: which I think we get a better ball, better time 1386 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 5: in there. I think we can make both of those 1387 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 5: third down plays. 1388 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 3: There were four sacks. 1389 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 2: One of them I don't know if that was a 1390 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 2: sack or not, but whatever, But we were noticing that 1391 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 2: the protection was there. There was a clean pocket much 1392 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 2: of the time to make throws. 1393 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 1: For sure. 1394 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 5: I thought overall throughout the entire game, I thought the 1395 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 5: old line protected really well. And this we knew it 1396 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 5: would be a heavy pressure outfit. They guys did a 1397 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,440 Speaker 5: really good job the pick stunts, the backstep up and 1398 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,960 Speaker 5: protect like we handled their games and pressure as well. 1399 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,080 Speaker 5: They got us a couple of times. They're good d line, 1400 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 5: so they got us a couple of times. But overall, 1401 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 5: I felt like our quarterbacks had time. We weren't under 1402 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 5: a ton of durests. We had time to go through 1403 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 5: our res and make plays defensively. 1404 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 1: As you watch the film, Coach, they they score on 1405 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 1: those two drives, and obviously they get the one at 1406 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 1: the very end, and the bo escaping and making that 1407 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:26,840 Speaker 1: play getting out from the pass for. 1408 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 3: Us, something he hadn't done much throughout the game. 1409 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,960 Speaker 1: In fact, he had thrown it a couple of times 1410 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,120 Speaker 1: earlier when he had kind of gotten out there. As 1411 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: you went back and watched the defense, would you think 1412 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 1: as you as you looked at it. We talked about 1413 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 1: in the broadcast, it just felt like the defense. 1414 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 3: Was just hanging on and hanging on and hanging on 1415 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:42,880 Speaker 3: and hanging on and. 1416 01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: Doing a great job with its effort to make sure 1417 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,480 Speaker 1: that they didn't score any points to give the offense 1418 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,520 Speaker 1: and opportunity and then finally this day unbroke the last minute. 1419 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,040 Speaker 5: Your thoughts, Yeah, defensively, you know, overall, really you know, 1420 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 5: solid performance by those guys, and you gotta finish right. 1421 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,080 Speaker 5: And that's the one thing like like we could have 1422 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 5: finished much better on the defensive side. 1423 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 1: Of the ball. 1424 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 5: Like you know, we rushed okay most of the game, 1425 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 5: and then that one critical moment where we're not having 1426 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 5: the lane discipline that we should have and we allow 1427 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 5: this huge ab gap escape knowing that you know, that's 1428 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 5: what the quarterback like to do. So had him in 1429 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 5: check most of the game, but in a critical time 1430 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 5: and the crunch time when it mattered most, you have 1431 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,040 Speaker 5: to be able to remain disciplined rush how we're supposed 1432 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 5: to rush coverage, not over pursuing standing where we are 1433 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 5: in coverage and we should be in position to make 1434 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 5: the quarterback have to dish the football right there. So, 1435 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,600 Speaker 5: I mean we had some play we had some one 1436 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,720 Speaker 5: on one opportunities where they scored on us, they made 1437 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,280 Speaker 5: a play. We got to find a way to make 1438 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 5: those plays. A couple of times they did get into 1439 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 5: the end zone on the two point conversion, Like, we 1440 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,440 Speaker 5: got to find a way to make the play. We're 1441 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,600 Speaker 5: we're in position now, can we go make those plays? 1442 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,640 Speaker 2: How about Kaln's pick and Derek almost had one which 1443 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,160 Speaker 2: would have been incredible, great play as it was that 1444 01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:02,400 Speaker 2: pass breakup over the million. 1445 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, really, Klin, that's what he does well, right when 1446 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 5: he can patrol the middle and we are playing single 1447 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,800 Speaker 5: high coverage and the ball is up, expecting him to, 1448 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 5: Hey you can go you know, sideline the sideline making plays. 1449 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 5: That's what he showed. He showed his range, he showed 1450 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,960 Speaker 5: his capability there. Outstanding play by him. And then Stingley 1451 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,720 Speaker 5: you know on his play. It was a man great 1452 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 5: job by him. Would coming from the backside all the 1453 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 5: way over to try to make that play. 1454 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 1: Just wanted to tell him, hey, go attack it. 1455 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 5: Be more aggressive with your hands, get your hands up, 1456 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:31,920 Speaker 5: attack the football. 1457 01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 1: That was a great job breaking the pass up. Yeah, 1458 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I mean that was that was an incredible play. Another 1459 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 1: incredible play, coach. That came up big after Kaymie missed 1460 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: that one. On the first first drive, they come down, 1461 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 1: they get in a field goal position, Daniko Autry blocks 1462 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 1: another one, and I thought what was telling about it 1463 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: was the fact that when you read Sean Payton's quotes 1464 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: throughout the week, he was very aware of the fact 1465 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 1: that Denico Autry had blocked a lot of fuel goals, 1466 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 1: and yet there's the first one being kicked and he 1467 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: blocked that fueld goal. How big was that to kind 1468 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 1: of get things started, not give them a three to 1469 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 1: nothing lead after you had that long first offensive drive. 1470 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 1: Oh that was huge. 1471 01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 5: That was man, we needed at that moment of the game, 1472 01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,240 Speaker 5: like to drive as long as we had the first 1473 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 5: drive right and to come away with nothing to show. 1474 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 1: For it, that that really sucked. 1475 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 5: And then so for them to drive down and to 1476 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 5: turn around and block a field goal, man, we needed that. 1477 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 5: So it was like a big all right, let's take 1478 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 5: a deep breath, reset, all right, let's go all right, 1479 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 5: now we're back. So really, Daniels, Man, I mean, I'm sorry, 1480 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 5: Deniko is the best I've seen that blocking field goals. 1481 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 5: I mean, he's blocked more kicks and I've ever seen 1482 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 5: in my career. He just has a great knack for 1483 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,920 Speaker 5: getting in the right position and he doesn't due it 1484 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,240 Speaker 5: without the help of the other guys around. And Mario 1485 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,840 Speaker 5: did a great job. Tim Settle did a great job 1486 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 5: as well, giving them. We call it ali Oopa the 1487 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,680 Speaker 5: assists so he can go up and block it. But 1488 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 5: he has a fantastic knack for making those big players coach. 1489 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,520 Speaker 2: The game began with that long drive he ate up 1490 01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 2: a half a quarter and yeah, you missed a field goal, 1491 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 2: but it felt kind of like last week, like, Okay, 1492 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 2: you can control this game even with field goals. 1493 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 3: I know you want to punch it in. 1494 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 2: We can talk about that and those close goal to 1495 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,400 Speaker 2: go situations, but you were able to move the football well. 1496 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 2: When CJ was in there, you saw a lot of 1497 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 2: good things in that department. 1498 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw a lot of good things. Man. We 1499 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 1: started a game really well. 1500 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,240 Speaker 5: CJ was doing a really great job, making great decisions, 1501 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 5: great throws, and you can tell it was going to 1502 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 5: be another one of those games. And similar to the 1503 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,120 Speaker 5: Niner game, felt like we had control. We can move 1504 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,000 Speaker 5: the ball at will, doing the things that we wanted 1505 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 5: to do so I and I was just unfortunate. Man, 1506 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 5: when you lose your your starting quarterback, it's just unfortunate 1507 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 5: to see CJ go down the way he went down 1508 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,320 Speaker 5: with a concussion. Knowing the type of game that I 1509 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 5: felt like he was going to have, it was going 1510 01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 5: to be a big day for him. 1511 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz was a guy who had a big game coach, 1512 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 1: and has he's had him this year. 1513 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 3: He makes the big play, CJ. 1514 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 1: That's a dime. I mean, that was an incredible throw 1515 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,919 Speaker 1: where he split the safety and linebacker with that throw. 1516 01:07:58,120 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 1: But it feels like Dalton's been giving you some really 1517 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,920 Speaker 1: good no matter where he lines up on the offense. 1518 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Having him back, I then we missed him in practice, 1519 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 1: but he's able to practice Friday and then play in 1520 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. How big was he and how 1521 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: big has he been for your offense? 1522 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,440 Speaker 5: Coach, Yeah, Dltan's been really really huge for offense. Seeing 1523 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 5: that he's a guy you talk about trustworthy. Right, he's 1524 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 5: exactly where he's supposed to be on his routes. Like, 1525 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 5: you get him the ball, he has your hands to 1526 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 5: catch it, right. He continues to make positive plays, move 1527 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,200 Speaker 5: the chains like he's. 1528 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 1: Friendly, real friendly to the quarterback right. 1529 01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,720 Speaker 5: He's gonna find that soft spot on his own even 1530 01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 5: if he's between two defenders. 1531 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 1: He just knows how to position himself. 1532 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,480 Speaker 5: He knows how to be in sync with the quarterback 1533 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 5: right to give him a friendly target. So he's been man. 1534 01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,680 Speaker 5: He's been clutch for us, making some big plays, big conversions, 1535 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,639 Speaker 5: being able to move the chains. He's having an outstanding year. 1536 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 3: Coach. 1537 01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,519 Speaker 2: In the preseason training camp, you talked a lot about 1538 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 2: delegation and that kind of thing. What can you share 1539 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 2: with us because we get questions how involved you get 1540 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 2: an offensive game planning with Nick Caley? Do you guys 1541 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 2: meet a lot about this is your philosophy there? I mean, 1542 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 2: obviously it is, But how do you combine and collaborate 1543 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:04,000 Speaker 2: on those kinds of things? 1544 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 3: What can you tell us about it? 1545 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,559 Speaker 5: For me is I'm watching you know, film throughout the week, 1546 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 5: just watching all three phases, and I'm just watching our 1547 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 5: opponent and seeing really what they've struggled with as I 1548 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,920 Speaker 5: look at it from you know, all perspective, looking at 1549 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 5: from offensive perspective, like what is this defense like struggling with? 1550 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,559 Speaker 5: And can we put them in those situations again, because 1551 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,000 Speaker 5: I always believe you got to show a team like 1552 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 5: have they fixed their issues right? And that's when I 1553 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 5: step in and I'm just asking guys throughout the game 1554 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 5: plan process, like, Hey, have we looked at this particular route, 1555 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,920 Speaker 5: have we looked at this particular run? I see these 1556 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 5: things have given this defense trouble and these are some 1557 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,959 Speaker 5: things that I think we should implement. Guys probably already 1558 01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,600 Speaker 5: ahead of that on means like, yeah, we have this 1559 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,840 Speaker 5: in and that end. So that's so I just come 1560 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,640 Speaker 5: from the perspective of all phases, like I see this 1561 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,599 Speaker 5: team struggling in whatever area, Let's continue to attack them 1562 01:09:58,600 --> 01:09:59,880 Speaker 5: in the area I was. 1563 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,800 Speaker 1: I was a little mad at you yesterday, coach, from 1564 01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,599 Speaker 1: the standpoint of I'm watching telling all Hufanga and I'm 1565 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,559 Speaker 1: watching Drake Greenlaw and I'm watching them make plays. I'm like, damn, 1566 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 1: why did coach coach them so well? In San Francisco. 1567 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 1: But this happens a lot where you do see players 1568 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,360 Speaker 1: you've coached before, but then you see them on the 1569 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 1: other side and they're making plays against you. What what 1570 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:20,640 Speaker 1: are you kind of feeling when you see that? I mean, 1571 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 1: obviously you want Texans to win and you are not good. Yeah, 1572 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,600 Speaker 1: I would just like to see those guys that you 1573 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 1: spent so much time with that you helped become even 1574 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,599 Speaker 1: better NFL players make those plays against you in this case, 1575 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 1: Oh maxim like, why are we not blocking these guys? 1576 01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,720 Speaker 5: They're good play So no, it was just good to 1577 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 5: see those guys Dre and and and Huff, the two 1578 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,559 Speaker 5: guys that drafted out in San Francisco, and to see 1579 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 5: them just continue to do well in their careers, go 1580 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,559 Speaker 5: to a different, different place and still be impact players. 1581 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,400 Speaker 5: It's always good to see that they're doing well. And 1582 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 5: this the reason I got into coach is to help players. 1583 01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,799 Speaker 5: And you know, knowing that I had a positive impact 1584 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 5: on those guys, those are the first two guys who 1585 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 5: came up to me after the game right to shake 1586 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 5: my hands. So I'm you know, I'm thankful for those 1587 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 5: guys and what they how they play. They played the 1588 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,600 Speaker 5: game the right way and that's what that's what you 1589 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:15,040 Speaker 5: will see from hopefully guys I've impacted. That they played 1590 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,559 Speaker 5: the game with the relentless nature, hair on fire type 1591 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,280 Speaker 5: play style, and that's what Huff and Dre represent absolutely. 1592 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 3: Coach back to the offense for a moment. 1593 01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 2: You got Kirk back and Nico back, and they weren't 1594 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 2: in the game last week. 1595 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 3: But here you have all these playmakers. 1596 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,280 Speaker 2: How tough is it to decide who gets the reps, 1597 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 2: who gets the ball. I know, you want to be 1598 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,600 Speaker 2: better on third down so you have more of those opportunities. 1599 01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,160 Speaker 3: Is that really a big part of it? 1600 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 2: You know, if those drives continue, you have a rotation 1601 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 2: of sorts going into it, more guys get touches, that 1602 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:42,040 Speaker 2: kind of thing. 1603 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we want to get the ball to 1604 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 5: our best players, right We got to find a way 1605 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:47,519 Speaker 5: right now. We got to find a way to get 1606 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,720 Speaker 5: Nico to the ball even more. I feel like we 1607 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,679 Speaker 5: could have got it to them on the outside more, 1608 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 5: just giving them more shots down field, finding the way 1609 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,000 Speaker 5: Ck was open, you know a lot. I just got 1610 01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,320 Speaker 5: to be able to make the throw. So it's all 1611 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 5: everybody working together there. I think we had a good 1612 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,080 Speaker 5: rotation of guys, and then you want to see the 1613 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,479 Speaker 5: young guys get the ball as well because they've done 1614 01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 5: a good job. You know, j Nole and Jay Higgins 1615 01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,400 Speaker 5: have both done a good job as well. So we 1616 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 5: have skilled players who can make plays right. It's just 1617 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,880 Speaker 5: a matter of everybody being on the same page, being 1618 01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,599 Speaker 5: in sync, and making the plays that we can make, 1619 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 5: especially in those third down, those reds, on those situational 1620 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,519 Speaker 5: moments where I feel like we can we have to 1621 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 5: exceale and we have to be better. 1622 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,680 Speaker 2: Another thing about the quarterback position. If CJ can't go 1623 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,040 Speaker 2: Mills on stage and then Mertz has to get ready 1624 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,800 Speaker 2: as well. He gets ready every week, I'm sure, but 1625 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 2: that puts him a step ahead. What about his progress 1626 01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 2: in practice, because we don't hear about him for good reason, 1627 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 2: but he looked good in the preseason. He's on the 1628 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 2: fifty three man roster. What can you tell us about 1629 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 2: his product? 1630 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,720 Speaker 5: Well, Mertz in practice, what he does is him and 1631 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,360 Speaker 5: Davis they alternate reps during the scout team period, so 1632 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,719 Speaker 5: they go against our defense during all the reps versus 1633 01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 5: our defense. So Mertz gets in and he's done a 1634 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 5: solid job. But sometimes we're asking them to just hey, 1635 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 5: we want to throw the ball here to make sure 1636 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:05,719 Speaker 5: the corner or safety get. 1637 01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:06,320 Speaker 1: To proper look. 1638 01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 5: But most of the time we allow him just to 1639 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 5: read the plays out so they're getting real reps as well, 1640 01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:16,040 Speaker 5: so you know it'll be Uh, it'll be a big 1641 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 5: week for him as well. Now he'll get even more 1642 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,720 Speaker 5: reps with David's taking all of the one reps with 1643 01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 5: our offense. So Mertzy get a lot of time, you know, 1644 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 5: going against her defense. 1645 01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,440 Speaker 2: Do you want your Scout team quarterback to be surgical? 1646 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,679 Speaker 2: And really you want them to get after the defense. 1647 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 2: Please be competitive, Please get after the defense as best 1648 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 2: as you can. We want to rip it. 1649 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,639 Speaker 5: And we wanted up making great decisions knowing that they're 1650 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 5: training themselves for when they may have an opportunity to 1651 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 5: go into the game. And you know, I just go 1652 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,240 Speaker 5: back to an example when I was in San Francisco, 1653 01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:50,439 Speaker 5: Man Brock party, he he threaded the ball. He tore 1654 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 5: us up as a Scout Team quarterback right and that's 1655 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,200 Speaker 5: when you saw, like, man, this kid really has something 1656 01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:00,360 Speaker 5: because he was I mean throwing side arm throw, he 1657 01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:01,920 Speaker 5: was moving out of the part. He was doing a 1658 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:02,679 Speaker 5: lot of great things. 1659 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:03,559 Speaker 1: So if you. 1660 01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 5: Take those reps with a deliberate mindset, like you can 1661 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 5: get better. And Brock has shown hey, if you do 1662 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,400 Speaker 5: it the right way here, you can't progress, and he 1663 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:13,679 Speaker 5: can be a starting quarterback. 1664 01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,600 Speaker 1: Coach Titus went out of game beast somewhere in the 1665 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,560 Speaker 1: second quarter and then leading up half time. One of 1666 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: the things you've done really well is use the six 1667 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 1: offensive line, six offensive linemen, with Blake Fisher being that 1668 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 1: six guy. But now Blake's got to jump in a 1669 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,680 Speaker 1: right tackle and you really aren't able to go your 1670 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 1: six offensive lineman group. Did that impact you in the 1671 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,600 Speaker 1: second half at all, not having Titus such that you 1672 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:35,519 Speaker 1: could use Blake in that six offensive lineman role. 1673 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we've liked that package put us in 1674 01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 5: position to run the football, feeling like we had an 1675 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,680 Speaker 5: advantage there running the ball and also protecting if we 1676 01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:45,200 Speaker 5: want to go play action pass. But you know, we 1677 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,800 Speaker 5: lost tight ends. Don't want to lose tight ends. Hey, Blake, 1678 01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,719 Speaker 5: Hey step up, man, let's go. This is your time, Nashan, 1679 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,200 Speaker 5: Let's get out there and let's go. That doesn't mean 1680 01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 5: we can't run the football now, it's just more tight ends. 1681 01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,880 Speaker 5: You know, we use Harrison, used Dalton a little bit more. 1682 01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,599 Speaker 5: We use British and the tight end spot as well 1683 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,760 Speaker 5: a couple couple run plays, so we can still run 1684 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,760 Speaker 5: our offense and we can run it and run in 1685 01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 5: everything's at our disposal, even though Titus went out and 1686 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:12,720 Speaker 5: Blake had a step end. 1687 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,160 Speaker 2: Coach, what about special teams? He had some moments against 1688 01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 2: the Broncos. Bandy had the ball bounce off and then 1689 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,800 Speaker 2: Jalen Smith recovers. He had Jailing Knowles big return. You 1690 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,880 Speaker 2: almost got the ball down at the one yard line 1691 01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:24,479 Speaker 2: as well. What about the third phase there? 1692 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought our special teams played really good football, right. 1693 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 5: I thought they put us in position to win the 1694 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,400 Speaker 5: football game. Right, Jay Nole with a huge return. Really 1695 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,760 Speaker 5: Higgins with the outstanding called it hip by block right, 1696 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 5: not getting a penal there, really clean block there the 1697 01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 5: spring and four our gunners, I mean Jalen Smith and Treymont. 1698 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,720 Speaker 5: Like those guys, they covered the field. They cover a 1699 01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:51,919 Speaker 5: lot of ground. They've made a lot of plays. Treymont 1700 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,200 Speaker 5: does a great job. But down in the ball had 1701 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,320 Speaker 5: outstanding to play school get out of the way. Maybe 1702 01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:59,160 Speaker 5: we got the ball there at the one yard line, 1703 01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 5: but that was an excellent play by him to throw 1704 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 5: it back in even give us a chance. But play 1705 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 5: had to play with the field goal unit like getting 1706 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,439 Speaker 5: the field goal block. Special teams had a huge impact 1707 01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 5: on this game. 1708 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 1: Coach. This is not just relating to one play and 1709 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,680 Speaker 1: you may know the one I'm relating to, But this 1710 01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,280 Speaker 1: seemed to happen a number of times yesterday where there 1711 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,679 Speaker 1: were a flag or multiple flags thrown and then at 1712 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:28,480 Speaker 1: some point picked up. When that happens, what's the communication 1713 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:32,240 Speaker 1: that you get from the officials. Do they immediately come 1714 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 1: to you, say the flag is thrown on the other team. 1715 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 3: And all we're gonna pick it up. 1716 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Do they come over to explain to you exactly why 1717 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 1: that flag is being picked up even though their eyes 1718 01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 1: saw something to be able to throw the flag. 1719 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:44,360 Speaker 3: Do they come over to you. 1720 01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,240 Speaker 1: Do you ask for them to come over and talk 1721 01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,000 Speaker 1: to you about those certain situations. 1722 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,960 Speaker 5: Sometimes they talk about why was picked up, and sometimes 1723 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,639 Speaker 5: they don't. Sometimes they would explain it over the loud speaker, 1724 01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 5: but sometimes, you know, we don't get an explanation immediately 1725 01:16:58,400 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 5: about what happened. 1726 01:16:59,160 --> 01:16:59,840 Speaker 1: You have to ask. 1727 01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,920 Speaker 5: But trying not to be stressed out about these officive 1728 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 5: it can be you know, it could be trying and 1729 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,680 Speaker 5: it could be you know, that third phase of the 1730 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 5: game where you see something and you think, hey, did 1731 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,840 Speaker 5: you did they see the same thing, And it's like 1732 01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 5: some calls, you think it's like holding and it's how 1733 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:23,800 Speaker 5: the quarterback gets hit. It's just so many things that 1734 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 5: that ends up being out of your. 1735 01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 1: Control, and they throw it. They throw it. 1736 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,680 Speaker 5: If I tell the guys all the time, it's like 1737 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,680 Speaker 5: they hardly ever have I seen a real pick up 1738 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,720 Speaker 5: a flag because you're arguing with them or you know, 1739 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 5: you're you know, losing your mind on the rev it's. 1740 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 1: Like, oh, you know what, you're right, I'm gonna pick 1741 01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:42,240 Speaker 1: that flat. 1742 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, that never happens. So I'm trying to save myself there. 1743 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,599 Speaker 1: But the communications is key because I saw at one point, 1744 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,240 Speaker 1: and it was near the end of the first half, 1745 01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,200 Speaker 1: and I saw you, Like there are a lot of 1746 01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,599 Speaker 1: times when I used to get in trouble, my dad 1747 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,680 Speaker 1: look at me and he gets this sign like you know, 1748 01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,479 Speaker 1: I'm watching you.

So it was never a point in my 1796 01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,519 Speaker 5: mind where okay, hey, oh the defense isn't playing great, 1797 01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:51,960 Speaker 5: so let's just send this to overth Like, no, let's 1798 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 5: go down and let's finish it. The defense is played 1799 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,320 Speaker 5: great all day. Now we got in that position. Defense, 1800 01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,559 Speaker 5: let's do a great job. You were supposed to be. 1801 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,719 Speaker 5: Ain't discipline and let's get a stop. 1802 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,760 Speaker 1: I would imagine coach playing inside. This is maybe more 1803 01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 1: consistent information. But at the end of half, end of 1804 01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 1: game situation, how how cognizant are you of? Okay, we 1805 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 1: got to get to this yard line. Kymie feels like 1806 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 1: he can hit it from X. I suppose outside you 1807 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,760 Speaker 1: gotta deal with the wind and Okay, well, in the 1808 01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,759 Speaker 1: wind you might do this, but I would imagine inside 1809 01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,840 Speaker 1: there's not really much that going on. How much are 1810 01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:25,320 Speaker 1: you cognizant of Okay, we got to get to this 1811 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,960 Speaker 1: yard line, that's where he feels comfortable getting to right 1812 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 1: hash left, hast to all that. How much are you 1813 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:32,360 Speaker 1: kind of playing that in your mind as you're thinking 1814 01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: on the last drive. 1815 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,680 Speaker 5: Oh, that's always in my mind from the start of 1816 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:37,800 Speaker 5: the game. I always want to get a feel for, 1817 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 5: you know, how not only Amy warmed up, but also. 1818 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 1: The other kid. 1819 01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 5: So we're watching both guys and see, hey, what's been 1820 01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,240 Speaker 5: their best as they were warming up throughout the game. 1821 01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 5: So we know the ranges, we know the longest of 1822 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,320 Speaker 5: where they hit as they warmed up, So we know 1823 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,479 Speaker 5: what yard line that we're defending. We know what large 1824 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,799 Speaker 5: yard line we're trying to get to as an offense. 1825 01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 5: So you know they're at their points, like, get it 1826 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,280 Speaker 5: anywhere close right inside the forty five, and we're gonna 1827 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 5: try to attempt. 1828 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:04,479 Speaker 3: It this week. 1829 01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:09,160 Speaker 2: It's the fifty right for the Jacks coming in even 1830 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,200 Speaker 2: you can kick it a long way too, So you 1831 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 2: got two great ones going at it. Quick thoughts on 1832 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,840 Speaker 2: the Jaguars, coach, because obviously you've seen them before and 1833 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 2: it was not that long ago. What about a brief 1834 01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 2: report on them? 1835 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, just with the day Wars, I think again, Liam 1836 01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 5: has done a really good job, right, really turning over 1837 01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:28,800 Speaker 5: the culture of that team. Right, they've been finding a 1838 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 5: way to win games, like they're doing a really good job. 1839 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:35,439 Speaker 5: Their defense is playing outstanding. They attacked the football and 1840 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 5: they found a way to move it with Trevor, they 1841 01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 5: found a way to score points. And field goal kicker, 1842 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 5: as you mentioned, just hit the longest one in the 1843 01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,000 Speaker 5: history of the NFL. It was the sixty eight yards, 1844 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 5: so it's a long kick.

And 1943 01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 2: were there other options as well? 1944 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:08,679 Speaker 3: You can tell us. 1945 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:11,600 Speaker 10: Now, Yeah, well, I mean it was a huge it 1946 01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,800 Speaker 10: was Having Levey here was a huge reason why I 1947 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 10: wanted to be around here. Like I knew I could 1948 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,759 Speaker 10: come in and like play Mike and make the play 1949 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,479 Speaker 10: calls and make the checks and because I played in 1950 01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:26,680 Speaker 10: that defense for five years and I just knew how 1951 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,599 Speaker 10: his style of coaching and like this how I played. 1952 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 10: I knew we were gonna mesh well, and knew the 1953 01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 10: linebacker coach as well. 1954 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,200 Speaker 8: Linebacker coach was my linebacker coach in college. 1955 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,960 Speaker 10: So it was just it was great continuity for me, 1956 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:43,520 Speaker 10: and it was my best opportunity. And honestly, I didn't 1957 01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 10: going there was a lot of teams that had backed out, 1958 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,559 Speaker 10: like they had found some. Going in, we thought we're 1959 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:51,640 Speaker 10: gonna have a lot of undrafted options. But then like 1960 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:55,320 Speaker 10: once the draft was ending, it was Houston came in, 1961 01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:58,080 Speaker 10: and then a few other teams we thought were that 1962 01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 10: kind of just said hey, we're we're good right now, 1963 01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,679 Speaker 10: we're gonna hold off for and like so it was really, 1964 01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:06,320 Speaker 10: honestly my really it was my main opportunity. Atlanta called 1965 01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,759 Speaker 10: me the next day, and I had already signed with Houston, 1966 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:11,799 Speaker 10: so it was kind of a done deal. But yeah, 1967 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,400 Speaker 10: Atlanta the next day maybe, but it was really only Houston, 1968 01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:16,519 Speaker 10: so very nice. 1969 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:17,920 Speaker 8: Meant to be around here. 1970 01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:18,320 Speaker 3: Good for us. 1971 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna say something about the Falcons, but 1972 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,920 Speaker 1: I won't say it. I'll say it off the air. 1973 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 1: But we got lucky, man, because we got a guy, 1974 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:28,280 Speaker 1: like I said, that had you. Had you been healthy 1975 01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,040 Speaker 1: through that year, I'm convinced you would have been drafted 1976 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,400 Speaker 1: because all that you bring. You talk about playing the mic, 1977 01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:36,240 Speaker 1: but you play every linebacker position, You're on every special team. 1978 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 1: I don't, uh, I don't know how many plays you 1979 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:40,960 Speaker 1: end up playing during a game, but you impact so 1980 01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 1: many of them. And I don't want to say like 1981 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,519 Speaker 1: accepting your role, but knowing what your role is, and 1982 01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 1: you know what your role is. 1983 01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:49,920 Speaker 3: And you take it to the end degree. 1984 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:51,840 Speaker 1: And it feels like the more players you have around 1985 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,600 Speaker 1: at all levels of a team that know what his 1986 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 1: role is going to be and then plays that role 1987 01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:00,160 Speaker 1: to the hilt every single week, that's the more or 1988 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,439 Speaker 1: successful that you're going to be. How do you look 1989 01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:04,439 Speaker 1: at that, Jake, as far as this is what I 1990 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,080 Speaker 1: know my role is going to be, and I'm gonna 1991 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,719 Speaker 1: go out master it that week and that season and beyond. 1992 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,759 Speaker 10: I mean, I think it part of it was learning 1993 01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:13,720 Speaker 10: from like guys that are older than me. I mean, 1994 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 10: you want to play on defense, and like every day 1995 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 10: I'm working to be more of an impact player on defense, 1996 01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,880 Speaker 10: but I mean learning guy like from guys like Neville 1997 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 10: Hewitt who was in the room and Uh, like when 1998 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:27,920 Speaker 10: I was a rookie, Jalen Reeves. Maybe just guys that 1999 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 10: are like rotational linebackers and special teams players. 2000 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 8: So learning that you can make a great living in. 2001 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,880 Speaker 10: This league playing on special teams and being a being 2002 01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:40,040 Speaker 10: an impact player on special teams and trying and and 2003 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 10: when you have everyone on a team that's doing like 2004 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 10: like you said, know their role and try to do 2005 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,280 Speaker 10: it the best they can, I think you can you 2006 01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 10: have good success. And I think that's why coach Ryan's 2007 01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:53,400 Speaker 10: and the Texans have had We've had some good success 2008 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 10: in the past few years. 2009 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:57,040 Speaker 2: So how difficult does that make practice because you are 2010 01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,559 Speaker 2: on so many special teams units and have to practice 2011 01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:03,640 Speaker 2: line back and very few breaks here Jake it uh. 2012 01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,639 Speaker 10: I mean it adds another part of practice, But it's 2013 01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:08,400 Speaker 10: just I mean, like you said, you know that that's 2014 01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:09,920 Speaker 10: part of the job going in and. 2015 01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,080 Speaker 8: That's I mean, if you. 2016 01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 10: Want to stick around long enough, like you have to, 2017 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:19,639 Speaker 10: like you have to accept those roles and take maybe 2018 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 10: do a little extra work and watch different Like I 2019 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,879 Speaker 10: might watch a little bit more of a special teams 2020 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 10: for this game because I know my role is gonna 2021 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 10: be a little bit less on defense. So I might 2022 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 10: watch a little bit more of this versus like some 2023 01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,600 Speaker 10: defensive film, so that all those things kind of go 2024 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:36,160 Speaker 10: into it. 2025 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 1: So yesterday, I don't even know if you noticed this, 2026 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:41,720 Speaker 1: but I noticed it when it happened, and I went 2027 01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,680 Speaker 1: back and I watched it again this morning. When a 2028 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 1: feulgal gets blocked, if the ball goes down the field 2029 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:51,080 Speaker 1: and the block team touches it, the offense can get 2030 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:52,639 Speaker 1: on it. I think a lot of people know that rule, 2031 01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 1: but there are a lot of people that don't know 2032 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,280 Speaker 1: that rule. There was somebody in a blue shirt that 2033 01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:59,400 Speaker 1: started taking off for the ball. We won't name Nate, 2034 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:04,760 Speaker 1: we will protect the innocent here, but you nearly tackled 2035 01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:08,000 Speaker 1: him to make sure that he didn't go after the ball. 2036 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:11,439 Speaker 1: And I just I love the play because I've talked 2037 01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:13,720 Speaker 1: so often about you got the physical skills to play 2038 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,519 Speaker 1: this game, there's no question. But you're as smart as 2039 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 1: he gets on in the field. Can you take us 2040 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,559 Speaker 1: through what happened on that play, still protecting the innocent? 2041 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:21,880 Speaker 10: Well, I mean it is like it's a play that 2042 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:26,040 Speaker 10: I mean, it doesn't happen often, right, like it rarely. 2043 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,840 Speaker 8: Had Like how many block kicks are there. 2044 01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,320 Speaker 10: In the league, not like not many, and we've been 2045 01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 10: fortune in the past two weeks we've got him. 2046 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,880 Speaker 8: So it was kind of like rehearsed a little bit 2047 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:35,639 Speaker 8: like last week. 2048 01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:37,639 Speaker 10: I kind of remembered, all right, we've got to stay 2049 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,719 Speaker 10: away from this thing, right and unless it like lands 2050 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,600 Speaker 10: in your lap and you can go and return. 2051 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:44,000 Speaker 3: It a little bit. 2052 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 10: So, but we don't want it was a bigger guy 2053 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,160 Speaker 10: some We want the big guys running with that thing 2054 01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:49,519 Speaker 10: down the field. 2055 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:53,160 Speaker 2: So wait, not to give away state secrets, but opponents, 2056 01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:55,320 Speaker 2: I believe are three for nine from beyond thirty or 2057 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,439 Speaker 2: something like that against the Texans kicking field goals. 2058 01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,519 Speaker 3: It's it's ridiculously not good. So why is that? 2059 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:04,880 Speaker 2: I know Deniko's got two of them? You guys, are 2060 01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,320 Speaker 2: you making them think about it?
