12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: we got plenty to do on the show this evening,

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: but we got to start off with an unfortunate piece

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: of news which which came down earlier this afternoon. Statement

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: from Dylan Horton, rookie defensive end for the Texans. I'm

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: currently dealing with a personal health matter that will keep

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: me away from the team for an indefinite period of time.

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: I want to thank my family, my teammates in the

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: entire Houston Texans organization for the support and care they

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: have already provided me. I will provide updates from time

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: to time, but my main focus right now is on

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: my health and recovery. Thank you and God bless on

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: the injury report today, Dylan was he was on there

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: with not injury related illness, and so we don't know

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: what that actually is. We just got noticed of it

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: this afternoon. That was a statement that came down probably

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably about three thirty three forty five

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: for the Texans, but Dylan Horton gonna be stepping away

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: from the team dealing with a personal health matter. And

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: we've seen this a few times with the Texans. We

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: saw it with David Quaesenberry. We saw it with Andre Howe,

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: we saw with John Metchi. You know, those are significant

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: health matters, and there are probably others that we may

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: not have even known about. And we don't know what

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: this is with Dylan Horton, but we definitely have had

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: to deal with personal health matters in the past, and

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: so our thoughts are always with Dylan, they're with his family.

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: We got to know Dylan being in the building the

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: last you know, how many ever months being a rookie

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: with us, and he's done some really good things on

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the field, and I just hate it for him. I

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: absolutely hate it, no matter what it is that at

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: this point of the season, no matter what, whether it's

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: a week, was three weeks, whether it's the season, just

45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he'll be away from the team where

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: this team has such good vibes and I know the

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: team has got to definitely feel the absolute same. But

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: Dylan Horton will be stepping away from the Texans. Now,

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: our discussion with Nick Cassario, that's something we always do

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: on Tuesday around lunchtime. That's when we do that. The

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: YouTube video goes up, but we don't play it on

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: radio until tonight. This is always our night to play it.

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I know that Nick would have had some thoughts on it,

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: but because we talked to him before that, he obviously

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: we didn't ask him about what's happening with Dylan Horton

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: or to get his thoughts on that situation. So let's

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: dive in with Nick Casio, general manager and executive vice

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: president of football ops for your Houston Texans with me and.

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: Mark joining us now on the Hundai Texans Radio studio.

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: It's executive vice president and general manager Nick Casseio how's it.

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: Going, Nick, Oh, it's good to be here.

62
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving week. We'll talk about that, I'm sure. I'm

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: sure that might come up later on in the conversation today,

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: but let's talk about the latest victory over the Cardinals

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: in advance of what's going to happen on Sunday with

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: a huge game with the Jaguars. Team is on a

67
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: nice little roll right here, Nick.

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 5: In the end, it's all about getting wins in this league.

70
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 5: So it's about figuring out a way each week you

71
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: hopefully do enough and that's all that really matters in

72
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: the end. So I think that game was a good example.

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 5: Did some good things offensively in the first half, kind

74
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 5: of stall a little bit in the second half, but defensively,

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: really finished the game strong through four possessions there fourth

76
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: down stops, which essentially are like turnovers, so made some

77
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: timmy plays, received a lot of contributions from a lot

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 5: of different players. It's really kind of survive in advance

79
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 5: and then move on to the next week. So a

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 5: lot that we can learn from in that game, a

81
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: lot of things that we can certainly improve and clean up.

82
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: But that's what this league is this time of year.

83
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Nick. You signed Blake Cashern and we talked about this

84
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: a little bit a couple of years ago. What you're

85
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: getting now out of him nineteen tackles, a sack, couple TFLs,

86
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: had the coach comp system in his ears. I mean,

87
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: is this even beyond your expectation when you signed him

88
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, when he's brought to this team.

89
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, Blake's really a good example of players kind of

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: taking advantage of his opportunities. So whenever he's had a

91
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 5: role defensively, you know, the more you kind of give him,

92
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 5: the more productive he's He's been at different points, and

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: he's been a good player in a kicking game over

94
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: the course of his career. So I think the idea

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 5: was when we required him, he definitely would have a

96
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: role in the kicking game, but also.

97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: Had defensive value. So we've talked about this.

98
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 5: You have some players that kind of our special teams

99
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: only to have some players that are sort of combo

100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 5: either offensively defensively plus a kicking game. I think what's

101
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 5: happened is is just the way that he's played and

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 5: just some of the things that have happened in that position.

103
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 5: It's kind of toward it's become a little bit more

104
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: defensive centric and sort of then you take some snaps

105
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 5: off of him in the kicking game, because otherwise you

106
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 5: just tax the player. But you know, play an instinctive

107
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 5: player runs well. He's tough handled being able to handle

108
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: the communication the green dot. I'd say some players can

109
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 5: handle that role of responsibility. Other players like to receive

110
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 5: the information from somebody else. But it worked really hard

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: during the course of the week with coach Kiff and

112
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 5: Demiko and Matt and then went in a game and

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: kind of handled that responsibility, which something that he's certainly

114
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 5: proven that he's capable of handling.

115
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: It's so interesting, Nick, because it's all a big puzzle

116
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: on Sundays who can fit, who's available, who's not. And

117
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: there you are with the two linebackers you had in

118
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: the extra Corey Littleton coming out the sideline, and in

119
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: earlier games this season you might not have Blake, you

120
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: might not have another player who would be available on Sunday.

121
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 6: They're all fitting together very well.

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: Can you speak to that a little bit and the

123
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: kind of personalities you look for who can fit into

124
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: that bag?

125
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's a great it's it is it's kind

126
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: of like a puzzle. This is where we've talked about

127
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 5: we just try the best we can build up as

128
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: comprehensive a depth on our team as much as possible.

129
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: And you know you're gonna have X number of players

130
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: on the roster at certain positions, then you're gonna have

131
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: your depth off the roster as well, and there might

132
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 5: be a point in time where you're gonna have to

133
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: utilize those players. Say Stephen Simms kind of an example

134
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 5: of that, and really hadn't done much during the course

135
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 5: of the years been on the practice squad, has worked

136
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 5: really hard, just had good weeks of practice, and then

137
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 5: he had an opportunity and we were able to use

138
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 5: him and get some plays out of him. So you

139
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: kind of have a group of players who you know

140
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 5: what their role is going to be when they're at

141
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 5: the game, and if you have to make some adjustments

142
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 5: and modifications based on your circumstances, then you have to

143
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 5: be able to sort of bob and weave a little bit.

144
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 5: And those are discussions that take place early in the

145
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 5: week so you can start the plan. You know, matter

146
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: of fact, after the game, Demiko and I are talking,

147
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: you know, Monday, about all right, how do we see

148
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 5: this week? What are some of the things that we

149
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 5: have to do, and also in anticipation of maybe some

150
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 5: of the things that are gonna happen even after the

151
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 5: Jacksonville game. So you're trying to deal with the week.

152
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 5: Who's going to be active, who's available? The injured players

153
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 5: that you know are out, you kind of limit them,

154
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 5: move them off to the side, figure out your pool

155
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 5: of players that's available. You know, we're gonna have to

156
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 5: make six or seven players inactive, and then how do

157
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 5: we get you know, the best forty seven or forty

158
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 5: eight players to the game.

159
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: That's the goal.

160
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: One of the guys that came to the game after

161
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: being hurt for a while just a second game back

162
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: is Derek Stinger Jr. Nick What did you see from Derek?

163
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: Obviously the interception was great, but he had to playing

164
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: a dig. You made it playing a fourth down. What

165
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: are you seeing from from Derek in the two games

166
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: he's been back.

167
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's getting more comfortable and confident with

168
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 5: being on the field. Anytime you miss an extended period

169
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: of time, it's always tough. So you go through practice

170
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 5: that's sort of one phase. Then you get to the game.

171
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 5: That's another phase.

172
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 7: You know.

173
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 5: Cincinnati week we kind of were three for two there

174
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: a corner with Steven Shack and Sting and in this

175
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 5: game he had a few more snaps, played a little

176
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: bit more extensively. So anytime a player is just able

177
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 5: to get in the field a little more comfortable, get

178
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: more experience, your confidence grows and we can make some

179
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 5: plays on top of that. So, you know, Derek's worked

180
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: really hard, he got a good attitude, He's handled everything

181
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: that's kind of come his way. So now the goal

182
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 5: is to try to build on the positives and correct

183
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: some of the things that you know, we need to

184
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 5: get fixed.

185
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: Building on what we talked about last week with the

186
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: running game, it seems like it's just more consistent now.

187
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: The line is more consistent as far as the line

188
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: up of the five guys you have in front of

189
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: the running back, and Devin Singletary is performing well for you.

190
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, the running game is all about just the distribution

191
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: of blockers, getting the kind of hat on a hat

192
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 5: and getting the defensive players covered up, make sure you

193
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: account for them. You know, we had some runs in

194
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 5: a game where that was certainly the case, and there's

195
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 5: some other runs. You know, there's some zero negative runs

196
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 5: where maybe we went to the wrong guy or there

197
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 5: was an unblocked player. So as long as you can

198
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 5: mitigate that limit that, then it's up to the back

199
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 5: to kind of find a space, understand the integrity of

200
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: the play, and then just be decisive with the ball.

201
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 5: But you know, Motor's done a nice job here, you know,

202
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 5: the past few weeks. So Motor's been a productive player

203
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 5: over the course of his career. When you look at

204
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 5: his history in Buffalo, I mean he gained yards. I

205
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 5: mean that's what he's done over the course of his career.

206
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 5: So the running game is about really everybody. The receivers

207
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 5: are a part of the tight ends are a part

208
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: of it. Obviously, the offensive line and part of the

209
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: back's part of it. So i'd say a certainly different

210
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: set of circumstances. A big challenge this week. You know,

211
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 5: we'll talk about Jacksonville, but they're better one of the

212
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 5: better run defenses in the league. So you know, what

213
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 5: we did over the last couple of weeks, there may

214
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 5: be some carryover that might not be but you know,

215
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 5: there can be some different things are going to deal

216
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: with with the with the jackuarers.

217
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: Nick Tank tell I think it's been interesting to watch

218
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: kind of the evolution of Tank obviously since he's been here.

219
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: But there was those thoughts, I think just solely because

220
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: of his size, Oh, he's a slot receiver. He's got

221
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: to be a slot receiver. And I think from the

222
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: day he set foot in this building, I don't think

223
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: there was any thought of, oh, he's got to be

224
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: pigeonholed into one spot, and he's really become a perimeter threat,

225
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: whether he's inside, where he's outside, where there's the backfieldor

226
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: wherever he is. When did you kind of realize, Okay,

227
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: Tank is a guy that can give us He's not

228
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: a slot receiver. He's more than just that. When did

229
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: you kind of have that realization?

230
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, John, it's an interesting discussion. I think they're sort

231
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: of a misnomer where a player is a certain size

232
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 5: or statue or height, he automatically gets pigeonholed into a

233
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 5: particular spot. I think you have to look at each

234
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: individual player and the skills that they bring to the table.

235
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: You know, had a lot of experience.

236
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 5: We've had a lot of experience on a player like

237
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 5: Wes who would say is considered a smaller player, but

238
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: his toughness, his awareness, his sense of space. He had

239
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 5: a good feel for the inside part of the field.

240
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 5: Troy Brown was the same way, and I would say,

241
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: you know, a guy like Tank is fast, he's explosive,

242
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 5: he has quickness, and he can win on the perimeter.

243
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 5: So the things that Tank does well at times, they're

244
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 5: more suited for perimeter, and then the things that go

245
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 5: on in the inside part of the field are a

246
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 5: little bit different. So you have to it's case by case.

247
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 5: But you can't just pigeonhole a player because he's this size.

248
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I think going back, even a guy like

249
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: DeShawn Jackson, who maybe is considered a quote quote unquote

250
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: smaller player, but Deshaun was an electric player. He was fast,

251
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: He made a lot of big, explosive plays down the field.

252
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: So the game has played differently inside than his outside.

253
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 5: There might be some times where you put a player

254
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: inside the formation specifically to ask him to do something.

255
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: It's saying Tanks case, probably the thing that stands out

256
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 5: about him is just his competitiveness and his toughness, because

257
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 5: he's not afraid to go in there and mix it

258
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 5: up in a run game and try to dig out

259
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 5: the force.

260
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: All right, Nick, you have one of the top offenses

261
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: in the league and you have a rookie quarterback doing it.

262
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: And he had another big game yardage wise, and had

263
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: the touchdowns. He had the turnovers as well, and how

264
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: he reacted after the game was pretty interesting. Sid, I

265
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: got to keep doing my thing, obviously, but he knows

266
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: he's got to stop turning the ball over. So your

267
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: thoughts on that moving forward as you navigate through these

268
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: next few.

269
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: Games, Yeah'd say CJ probably articularly that very well. I mean,

270
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: it's really about one play in each game, so you

271
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 5: can't let what what happened previous a previous play effect

272
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 5: sort of what goes on moving forward. So try to

273
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 5: understand what happened, understand the why behind it, and then

274
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: keep moving forward. I mean, his game is about confidence,

275
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 5: and he's believing in yourself, believing in your ability, believing

276
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: in your teammates. So understand what happened, try to make

277
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 5: sure that it doesn't happen again. There's nothing more important

278
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 5: in ball security, let's say, is an overall offense, we

279
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: emphasize that, emphasides taking them all the way. On defense,

280
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 5: I'd say specifically this week, you're talking about Jacksonville team

281
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 5: that leads leads the league and take takeaways with twenty.

282
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: So ball security is at a premium. So you just

283
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: have to keep playing football.

284
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 5: There's gonna be some things that go your way, some

285
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 5: good plays, and there's gonna be some bad plays. I mean,

286
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 5: sixty five seventy plays on each side of the ball

287
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 5: in each game. Not all of them are gonna be perfect.

288
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 5: Can't lose your confidence, can't lose your faith. Just understand

289
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 5: just what happened on the play and then just move

290
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: on to the next situation.

291
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Nigga, is gonna sound like a strange question in some

292
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: sense as I ask it, But I'm trying to explain

293
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: how much value is there in winning these games as

294
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: opposed to we're playing them close, and we're playing them hard,

295
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: but we're winning. How much is that giving confidence of

296
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: the guys. How much is that giving them belief that

297
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: hate no matter what happens, we can still pull this

298
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: thing out in the end. I think about when early

299
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: in your Patriots career, you're coming off with five and

300
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: eleven in two thousand and all of a sudden, in

301
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, you start winning those games and

302
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: you start getting to a point where that's snowballing and

303
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: you're winning, and you're winning late. And that took you

304
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: all the way through the playoffs. Not saying that this

305
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: team is that team, but when you saw it with

306
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: that team building the confidence, you see kind of the

307
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: same thing here. That confidence is building with each and

308
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: every win, not just we played well, but that we're

309
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: winning the game.

310
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

311
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 5: I think it's a mindset mentality, and then when you

312
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: actually are able to see kind of the fruits of

313
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: your labor come to fruition and with a win.

314
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: Any end, this league is about winning, So it's about.

315
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 5: Finding a way and I think when you have just

316
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: collect a belief in the locker room, because ultimately it's

317
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: about the players. So there's only so much that we

318
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 5: can do, but it's about it's up to the players

319
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 5: to take ownership of the situation and to know if

320
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 5: we do the right things along the way, we're gonna

321
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 5: put ourselves in a position and then get to the

322
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 5: fourth quarter and then make enough place to finish off

323
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 5: the football game. So when you start to do that,

324
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 5: you know, then you create i'd say more belief and

325
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: you see there's examples of all right, all right, if

326
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 5: we do the right things, then the result is the

327
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 5: result that you know we all want. And you see

328
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 5: that around the league. I mean, we're gonna talk about

329
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 5: Denver next week, but there's another example. You know a

330
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 5: team they were one and five and everybody wrote them off,

331
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 5: and I'd say, now, they're probably only more dangerous teams

332
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 5: in the league. So say, winning solves a lot of

333
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 5: problems sometimes, but you just have to make sure you're

334
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: doing the right things during the course of the week,

335
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: that you put yourself in a position to give yourself

336
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: an opportunity to go.

337
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: Out there and execute when it matters.

338
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 8: Well.

339
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: One of the things you do in the course of

340
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: the week is sign players, Nick, and we've talked about

341
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: this from time to time. It's never really goodbye with

342
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: a player. Sometimes it's hello again. And Desmond King enters

343
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: the building, So discuss that a little bit. We just

344
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: saw DeAndre Houston car said a few weeks ago, come

345
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: back and he's paying dividends for you. Des King knows

346
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: his way around the building for sure. And this team, Yeah,

347
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: you never really know when you're gonna need players. And

348
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: I think we've always Demiquo and I've kind of tried

349
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: to handle things as professionally as possible and just be

350
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: honest with the player. And sometimes you make a decision

351
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: in the short term, but you know, you don't close

352
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: the door. You leave it open because it might be

353
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: an opportunity further down the road. So, you know, released

354
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: as in training camp, it wasn't we didn't think that

355
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: Dees could help us. It's just we had so many

356
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: other players and other spots and role identification. We just

357
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: went a different direction. And you know, Dez ended up

358
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: there in four or five weeks with Pittsburgh really played

359
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: in a return game. They didn't using much on defense,

360
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: and he's kind of been out here for a little bit.

361
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: But I mean, does a good football player familiar with

362
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: how we do things both off excuse me, defensively and

363
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: in a kicking game.

364
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: So he's on a practice squad.

365
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 5: We'll kind of see how it goes, you know, day

366
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 5: to day, and then at some point there's probably a

367
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 5: good chance that you know, he's gonna be on the field.

368
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 5: I think we've had some some injuries in the secondary,

369
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 5: so you know, talking about a player, it has experience,

370
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: it's played multiple spots. He's played inside the formation, he's

371
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 5: played in the primitive formation, he's handleball's a punt return

372
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 5: and kickoff returners. So say this time of year to

373
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 5: be able to find a player like Dez or just

374
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: bring him in the building, you know, hopefully gives us

375
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 5: a little bit of flexibility here with the whole roster.

376
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: All right, next, the first time this year that we'll

377
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: do it, we'll play we're playing division team for the

378
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: second time, being the Jacksonville Jaguars. So we did our

379
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: scouting report back in week three, but from week three

380
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: to week we worked. We twelve nine weeks over that time.

381
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: What do you seem different from Jacksonville for the time

382
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: that we beat him with Duval County to what we'll

383
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: see on Sunday.

384
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, some things have started to clay a little bit.

385
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: And we talked about this a little bit earlier. Defensively,

386
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 5: their run defense is one of the top run defense

387
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: in the league. So they put a lot of stress

388
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: on you, and they've done a really good job of

389
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 5: taking the ball away. And I'd say the two players

390
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 5: that have really stood out amongst the larger group on defense,

391
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: you know, I'd say Josh Allen's really probably having one

392
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: of his best years. His tenacity in the way he

393
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 5: finishes plays, I mean, it's really a credit to him.

394
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: But he's tough, he's explosive, he's got good plays with

395
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: good leverage, plays with good strength on the edge. He

396
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 5: presents a lot of problems, so and he gave us

397
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 5: some problems even in the first game as well. And

398
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 5: Old Coon is either you know, top two or three

399
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: tacklers in the league, so he creates a lot of

400
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 5: negative plays for their defense. Very instinctive player around the

401
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 5: ball a lot. If you want to have success running

402
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 5: the football, you're gonna have to find a way to

403
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 5: get a hat on him. But I mean, those two players,

404
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: amongst a larger group, have done a really good job.

405
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: So they've taken the ball away, they've played good run defense,

406
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 5: and they've played good in the red area. I think

407
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 5: they're top ten and ready era of defense. So that's

408
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 5: one of the reasons that they're, you know, playing well

409
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 5: and they have the record that they have. And then offensively,

410
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 5: they've kind of always been a little bit of a

411
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: three to four open team. Eleven personnel. Ridley, let's say

412
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 5: he's he's had a good year, you know, accentuated that

413
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 5: with I think he had five or six catches for

414
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: over one hundred yards or two touchdowns against Tennessee. But

415
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 5: he presents some problems, and then Kirk has been a

416
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 5: really i would say, consistently productive player. Trevor's playing well,

417
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 5: he's not turning the ball over, he's making good decisions,

418
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 5: and they've gotten good production from their backs and a

419
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 5: etn We've talked about him previously. You know, he gets

420
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 5: about twenty twenty five touches in a game, and typically

421
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 5: when he gets those touches, the corre lights to winning

422
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 5: and if he doesn't get enough touches, then you know

423
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 5: they haven't won those games. So they put a lot

424
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 5: of stress with their skill players. And then they've made

425
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 5: a couple of changes just on the offensive line. You

426
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: know Robinson's back, which he didn't play in a first game.

427
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 5: They made a change of left guard, so they've kind

428
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 5: of made some subtle modifications relative to what we saw.

429
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: I think the big thing that's a little bit different

430
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 5: is in a return game with agnew going on injurr reserve,

431
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 5: so you'll talk about one of the most explosive players

432
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 5: they have on a team. But they're going to use

433
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 5: Parker Washington, you know, who's a good young player. So

434
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 5: I think the core of what they do is remain

435
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 5: the same. They've kind of made some modifications and then

436
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 5: their team is sort of declared and number of seven

437
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 5: and three, I mean for good reason. So it certainly

438
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 5: be a big challenge in front of us.

439
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: They're like the Texans in that they don't seem to

440
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 2: have a number one receiver. Really the tight end has

441
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: more catches than anybody, and they kind of spread the

442
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: ball around. Do we make too big a deal about

443
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: number one receiver sometimes?

444
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think what you have to do is just

445
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 5: look at the skilled players as a group and how

446
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 5: you utilize those players.

447
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: It goes both ways.

448
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 5: If you just have kind of that one person, well

449
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 5: then the defense kind of knows like how to handle that.

450
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 5: When you have a diversity of options, maybe the cause

451
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 5: of defense play a little bit differently. But I would

452
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 5: say specific to Jacksonville, like you have to count for

453
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 5: their receivers. You got to count for you know, Kirk,

454
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 5: you got to account for Ridley, and you have to

455
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: count for Ingham and Ingram is really a receiver. I

456
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 5: know he listened to the tight end, but he's to

457
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 5: your point. I mean, he has as many targets as

458
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 5: any receivers. So when you just have that much, I

459
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 5: would say diversity throughout, it gives the offense a little

460
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: bit more flexibility. So I mean, I think that's a

461
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 5: narrative people like to talk about kind of outside the building,

462
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 5: but you know, it's really about the entire skill group

463
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 5: and how you utilize and you know where they line up.

464
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: Nikki tim we talked about a little bit, but it

465
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: feels like he's almost getting better each and every game

466
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: as it goes through. And you wouldn't think that. It's like, boy,

467
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: you'd take a running back would take some shots and

468
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: they'd start to kind of wither a little bit. It

469
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: feels like he gets stronger, not only during a game,

470
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: but in the season he's getting better as well.

471
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's an elusive player, doesn't really take a

472
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 5: lot of big hits, so he's very diverse. I mean,

473
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: he's a three down back, so he plays I don't know,

474
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 5: seventy five eighty percent of the snaps, which not all

475
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 5: running backs are on the field in all situations. So

476
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 5: they kind of spell him with the Ernest Johnson a

477
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 5: little bit, but you know, he's a good player player

478
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 5: of Clemson, and he's been a good player. I mean,

479
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 5: his first season just got you know, he lost his

480
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 5: first season, but he's got hurt in training camp. But

481
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 5: since he's been healthy, since he's been available, he's certainly

482
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 5: been a big part of their offense.

483
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about players getting fined and

484
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: nothing specific about this, but it's definitely out there and

485
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: we see it every week, all these guys around the

486
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: league getting fined, and very often the flag is not

487
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: thrown in the course of the game, so it's after

488
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: the fact policing of the game. And is this a

489
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 2: relatively new development? What are they trying to get accomplished here?

490
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 9: Nick?

491
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 6: What can you share with you?

492
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 5: I think the big thing is just the emphasis on

493
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 5: player safety. So let's say each player is different, each

494
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 5: situation is different. There's some plays, like you mentioned, that

495
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 5: they're not flagged in a game, and then there's follow

496
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 5: up and then they're fined as a result. So all

497
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 5: we can do is as a team is just coach

498
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 5: the right techniques, coach the proper techniques, make sure the

499
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 5: players understand the right the rationale and the reasoning.

500
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: You know why.

501
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 5: Let's say, we don't always necessarily agree with the league,

502
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 5: but in the end, it's sort of out of our hands.

503
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 5: You know, they're governing body. They handles it. So all

504
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: we can do is educate the players, make sure they

505
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 5: have an understanding. I mean, I don't want to speak

506
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 5: for the league, but I mean I think candlely, some

507
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 5: players may be a little bit targeted more than others unfairly.

508
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 5: But I mean, although there's nothing we can do about it,

509
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: all we can do is just kind of manage the

510
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 5: situation and handle the situation, make sure the player understands

511
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 5: the rationale y and just try to coach with the

512
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: right technique.

513
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: Nick, now that the college football season is winding down,

514
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: and got a final this week, then you got championship weekend,

515
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: what's kind of the role for your scouts? What will

516
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: they be doing? Do they go to bowl games? Do

517
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: you like to see the bowl games even though a

518
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys may not play. How do you kind

519
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: of handle that situation the Yeah, no, we're we're winding

520
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: down here, there's another called week or two left.

521
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 5: You kind of have some of the regular season play

522
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 5: this week, and then next week you'll have some of

523
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: the conference championship games and then you'll start the bowl

524
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 5: games two or three weeks.

525
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: You know, after that the big thing, let's start with

526
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: the bowl games.

527
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 5: If you haven't if a player maybe hasn't played or

528
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 5: you haven't seen them, maybe you get a live look.

529
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 5: Otherwise you're not going to put more emphasis on the

530
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 5: on the bowl game. But you know, the bulk of

531
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 5: the work is done kind of the fall process, So

532
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 5: we'll kind of we'll have our group in probably in

533
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks and start the first initial round

534
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: of discussions, and then we'll kind of have a middle

535
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 5: of December until kind of February first where there's a

536
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 5: lot of things that'll happen between the bowl games and

537
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 5: then you'll get the postseason all star games, Senior Bowl

538
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 5: get another exposure. The one thing is a little bit different.

539
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 5: You know, the Senior Bowl is just or just the

540
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 5: postseason bowl games is just allowing on your class to participate,

541
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 5: which just gives more players an opportunity for another exposure

542
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 5: in a different environment. So you know, we'll utilize the

543
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 5: time and the resources that we have as judiciously as possible.

544
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean it's been a very productive fall,

545
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 5: we have a lot of good information. I think we

546
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 5: kind of have an idea of where things sort of

547
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 5: stack up. Once you get the underclassman to declare, which

548
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 5: that'll be kind of middle January ish, then you'll kind

549
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 5: of have the players that you know are going to

550
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 5: be draft eligible. And then whenever to the regular you know,

551
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 5: whenever our football season is over, it'll kind of transition

552
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 5: to the next phase of scouting, get ready for you know,

553
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 5: getting ready for the draft.

554
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 2: Well, on Friday, we have a juicy triple header out

555
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: here for high school football, and will you pop your

556
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: head out there at some point, Nick, just to have

557
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 2: a little look. It's right here in the bowl and

558
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: not for scouting, but just to check it out.

559
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it might be bad.

560
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the one thing I think about high

561
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 5: school that's pretty cool. Sometimes you're able to see kind

562
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 5: of multiple teams their super Bowl whatever you know we

563
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 5: call it. And when we had the same kind of situation,

564
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 5: you know up in New England, you know where you

565
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 5: literally have games from eight o'clock in the morning until

566
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 5: ten o'clock at night and you just cycle through. So

567
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 5: it's a big party experience for the kids. I'm sure

568
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: they have a lot of fun with it playing an RG.

569
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 5: So I don't know if I'll have the mariachi band

570
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 5: out for them.

571
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 6: Well, you mentioned Massachusetts.

572
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: They have that Thanksgiving game every year and you play

573
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: your rival on Thanksgiving. So no matter what your season is, like,

574
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: that's your big game and it's awesome. You can have

575
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 2: one win going into that game, and if you win it,

576
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: that's like winning a bowl game.

577
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt that you can get a turkey or stuff.

578
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: And you know, speaking of which Nick, you knew it

579
00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 2: was coming right, you know coming. So but let's take

580
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: us back to the Cassario household growing up in Ohio

581
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: when you used to eat more like a normal I'm

582
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: just kidding.

583
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 6: You used to eat Thanksgiving dinner.

584
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: Right like a normal human being.

585
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 6: Well, what was the share with us some traditions, if

586
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 6: you will.

587
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, very very traditional, I would say, and just you know,

588
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: come from a family or small family, my brother, my mom,

589
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: and dad, so it was usually us and then we

590
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 5: typically go to our grandparents, you know, typically my my

591
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 5: nanny and papa. So we go over there and kind

592
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 5: of have sort of a normal Thanksgiving. So that was

593
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 5: kind of, you know, our tradition. So you know, we

594
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 5: kind of have our own little tradition now with you know,

595
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 5: my family, with you know, three girls, Kathleen and you know,

596
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 5: our dog Lily. So we kind of have our own

597
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 5: little sort of Thanksgiving and it's just us. So it's

598
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 5: our day for us to kind of enjoy each other's company.

599
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 5: We have a few things they like to do, kind

600
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: of you know, do a little where each of us

601
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 5: takes somebody. We get to pick and then you get

602
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: to write about what you're thankful for.

603
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 7: Nice.

604
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 3: That's create our own little I would say, you know, tradition.

605
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 3: We'll definitely look.

606
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 5: Forward to it, and uh, you know, I'm sure they'll

607
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 5: be ready to go.

608
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: So the tradition for a lot of families is they

609
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: turn the TV on and there's football on all day.

610
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: We live in a football environment all the time. So

611
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: do you turn the TV off of football or do

612
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: you just keep it on?

613
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 10: Ye?

614
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: Yes and no a little bit. Not gonna have it

615
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 3: on all days, so I might throw it on there

616
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: at the end of the day. A little bit enough football.

617
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: Well that's my point.

618
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: There's there's nothing I like to go home and just

619
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,679

Speaker 9: Blake Cashman and Blake I gotta thank you for being here.

656
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 9: You're one of the more popular players on the Texan

657
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 9: squad this year, so I appreciate you spending some time

658
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 9: with it, especially close to the holiday season.

659
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 4: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be here.

660
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

661
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 9: Man, we're glad to have you at I gotta start

662
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 9: with something that's pretty lighthearted, but I cannot unsee this.

663
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 9: After Sunday's game, I was talking with another one of

664
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 9: my media colleagues, and I think this was his first

665
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 9: time being up close with you. He's in one of

666
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 9: those media scrums with you after the game, and he

667
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 9: says to me, covers the Astros too, And he says,

668
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 9: Blake Cashman, And it just looks like a more muscular

669
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 9: version of Lance mccullor's the picture for the Houston Astros,

670
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 9: of course. And so I got to ask you if

671
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 9: if someone told you that, could you do you have

672
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 9: a celebrity look alike? If you heard that you and

673
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 9: Lance mccullors look like y'all could sit at the same

674
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 9: Thanksgiving table.

675
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: I've never gotten that one before. Growing up, a lot

676
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 4: of people compare me to Shark Boy.

677
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 9: Shark Boy he.

678
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 4: Was played by Taylor Latner, just because I had the

679
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 4: growing up, I had the spiky hair, so people can

680
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 4: prepare me to him. Surprisingly when I have a hat

681
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: on and I got my earrings in and whatnot. Some

682
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: people recently have started to say it look like Dak

683
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 4: Prescott too, which I don't necessarily see that one, but

684
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 4: you know, maybe with the new buzz cut fade backwards

685
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 4: hat on. That's when I started to get a little

686
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 4: bit this past year.

687
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm a little bit distracted now because now I

688
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 9: can't unsee two days ago. A few days ago it

689
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 9: was I can't see the Lance mccullors comparison, and now

690
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 9: I can't unsee the Dark Prescott comparison. So now that's

691
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 9: going to be stuck with me. That's that's that's really fascinating.

692
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 9: Now I want to ask you about Thanksgiving since it's

693
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 9: coming up, since it's here among us, right, what are

694
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 9: the top three things that go on the Blake cash

695
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 9: Mean Thanksgiving plate? And for a moment here, I need

696
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 9: you to forget that you're a professional athlete and that

697
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 9: you have to abide by a certain diet and all

698
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 9: of that. In an ideal scenario, if you can sort

699
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 9: of pig out like the rest of us, what are

700
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 9: the top three things on a Blake Cashman Thanksgiving.

701
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not a picky eater for starters. Anything that

702
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 4: you put on my plate in my face of pretty

703
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 4: much eat it, but you know you gotta have you know,

704
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 4: meat on there. You know, I love the dark turkey,

705
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 4: the darker meat on the turkey. But you know, sometimes

706
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 4: you know, people get it wrong. You know, I don't.

707
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 4: I don't. I can't stand you know, when meat is

708
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: too dry. You know, it's just it takes all the

709
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 4: flavor out, so it cooked right, you know, you know,

710
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: the dark meon turkey. I love the you know, the

711
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 4: what's it the sweet tat or yams with the marshmallow

712
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 4: on top.

713
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 9: You gotta have it.

714
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: I mean that's it's like a dessert, but it's kind

715
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: of part of like, you know, the main So yeah,

716
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: I love that. And then i'd probably say, you know,

717
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: some great mac and cheese with the kind of like

718
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 4: the crust on top or whatever, you know I'm talking

719
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: about it, but extra cheesy probably my top three right there.

720
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 9: Not that microwavable nonsense scratch. Gotta have some tender, loving

721
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 9: care as a part of it. I got to ask

722
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 9: you the other side of that, what is this is

723
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 9: kind of a controversial topic for people, So I hope

724
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 9: you're willing to go down this road. But what's the

725
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 9: one thing that you don't want to know. You said

726
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 9: you're not a picky eater. What's one thing that's common

727
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 9: of Thanksgiving meal, either something that you've experienced or heard

728
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 9: or seen before that you just absolutely want no parts of.

729
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of people answer this question

730
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 4: they say the stuffing. I feel like that's a common answer.

731
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 4: I I like stuffing, but it's it's very hit or miss.

732
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 4: I think the like those those green bean cast roles.

733
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 4: I like, I like green beans, but I just think

734
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 4: it's it's you know, it's it's overrated. Yeah, honestly, I

735
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: might just prefer just trade green beans. I think that's

736
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 4: probably the most overrated dish.

737
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 9: All right, cool, those are those are all acceptable. I'm

738
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 9: probably less of a picky eater than you, though, because

739
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 9: I take every single one of those things that you mentioned,

740
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 9: put them all on my plate at one time.

741
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: They don't. Get me wrong, I would too.

742
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 9: Have you made it out to a culver's yet? I

743
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 9: saw a previous interview with you, heard a previous interview

744
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 9: with you where you're a big cally but did not

745
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 9: realize that they are actually here in Houston. Now you

746
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 9: got to go on a pretty big trek to find one.

747
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 9: They're not in the city limits, nowhere near NRG Stadium,

748
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 9: But have you made your way there? And what is

749
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 9: it about Culvers that you like so much?

750
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: I'm disappointed to say, but unfortunately I haven't made it

751
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 4: to the Culvers yet. And you're right, I had no

752
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 4: idea they were in Texas until I did that interview.

753
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 9: But I expect you to have a better scouting report

754
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 9: than that. I'm being honest. Now, man, you're one of

755
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 9: the more cerebral guys on the team. We love talking

756
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 9: to you about football, so it surprised me a little

757
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 9: bit that you had not done better scouting than that.

758
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 4: I give you feel bad, but I you know, I

759
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: had to agree with you. You know, I'm disappointing myself,

760
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 4: but I will get to a Callvers at some point,

761
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 4: but you know, gaining the information like you said, you said,

762
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 4: it's kind of a trek outside the city and I,

763
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 4: you know, live within the city limits, so you know,

764
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 4: I might have to save that for the offseason. And besides,

765
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: I don't think Ladd or Jacob here on our nutrition

766
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 4: team would appreciate me eating culvers right now.

767
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I can respect that. Let's let's go into your

768
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 9: background a little bit. Your Minnesota background, pronounce the name

769
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 9: of the town that you're from. For me, eating prairie,

770
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 9: Eating Prairie now, eating Prairie. To me, having not been there,

771
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 9: it sounds like one of those places where if you

772
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 9: go there, if it's anything like the you know the

773
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 9: town's in Texas, if you go there and win as

774
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 9: much as you want in high school state championships very

775
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 9: little losing, it sounds like the type of place that

776
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 9: you could go back to and never have to pay

777
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 9: for a meal or a drink in public. You're a

778
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 9: celebrity everywhere you go in that town. Forget being an

779
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 9: NFL player for a second. You didn't have to make

780
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 9: it as far and have as much success as you're

781
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 9: having right now to be able to go back to

782
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 9: that place and still be a star. Do I have

783
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 9: that correct? That's how it would be if you were

784
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 9: from a town here in Texas. Is it like that

785
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 9: in Minnesota that eating prairie? Can you go there and

786
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 9: essentially run.

787
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: From mayor You know, I would go that far, But

788
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: you know there are a lot of places. You know,

789
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 4: you're just from growing up in the community for so

790
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: long that, uh, you know, I'll run into people. Some

791
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 4: people that I you know, forgot about honestly because it's

792
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 4: been so long and I might have only had a

793
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 4: brief like encounter a relationship with them. But you know,

794
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 4: there's a saying in Minnesota that people are Minnesota nice,

795
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: So you know, people are very quick to you know,

796
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 4: show love and you know, happiness for you know, somebody

797
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 4: that's in my position to uh, you know, you'll be

798
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 4: a good athlete and student and young individual in the

799
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: community to go on and and have a successful journey

800
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 4: and to be living out their dream.

801
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 9: You almost didn't play college football. You walked on that Minnesota,

802
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 9: but this almost didn't happen. Why is that and why

803
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 9: did it happen?

804
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things that went into you know

805
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 4: those thoughts. Uh. You know. The main thing was in

806
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 4: high school when I started their recreer process, I didn't

807
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: have much attention on me, you know, didn't have any offers.

808
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 4: I was struggling even to get Division two schools to

809
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 4: look at me, and that was really really discouraging. And

810
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 4: so you know, I was looking at my options and

811
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 4: what kind of college experience I wanted to have, and

812
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 4: I always you know, dreamed of going far away from Minnesota.

813
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 4: You know, just have a brand new experience and you

814
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 4: know something that could you know, change your life.

815
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

816
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: But as I was started my senior season and I

817
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: you know, asked people in our you know, athletics, you

818
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 4: know office too, you know, help me get some exposure.

819
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 4: I uh, I quickly realized, I if I don't stick

820
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 4: with football or even just a sport in general, because

821
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 4: I did consider going to a school to play football

822
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 4: and basketball.

823
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 9: Right like you did.

824
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And so as I was going through my

825
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 4: senior season, you know, I quickly realized, like, if I don't,

826
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 4: you know, continue to pursue you know, my number one

827
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 4: love and that's you know, football sports, like, I would

828
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 4: definitely look back and you know, have that regret and

829
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: you know, wonder what my experience in college would be

830
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 4: like if I would, you know, would have played sports athletics.

831
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 9: You mentioned a little bit about getting attention and exposure

832
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 9: just a moment ago. You I think it's fair to say,

833
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 9: especially after winning AFC Defensive Player of the Week earlier

834
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 9: in the year, had a big interception in the third

835
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 9: game of the year, I think it's fair to say

836
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 9: that you're a lot more well known now than you

837
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 9: were going into the season. What has that been like

838
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 9: for you personally?

839
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: You know, all that is exciting, It's great. I always

840
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 4: help people to get you know, the accolades, the recognition

841
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: because you know, each player does put in a lot

842
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 4: of work and a lot of time to you know,

843
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: have success on the field. That's what everyone wants. We're

844
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 4: all you know really you know, tough our competitors.

845
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 3: Uh.

846
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 4: You know. Also for me, you know, just my journey,

847
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 4: I've you know, struggled a bit and just had to

848
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 4: you know, remain patient and resilient and continue to the

849
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: grind and the process that it is to be in

850
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 4: the NFL. And I knew I would, you know, believe

851
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 4: that I would get that opportunity again to get on the

852
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 4: field and uh start making plays. So uh that all

853
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: feels great, But honestly, like none of that matters, because

854
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 4: you know, what the focus is is winning football games.

855
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 4: And my first four years in the league, I didn't

856
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 4: you know, wasn't a part of a team that won

857
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 4: many football games. So uh, now that we're starting to

858
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 4: get rolling here and things are going well, you know,

859
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 4: now I'm tasting what it's like to win this in

860
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 4: in this league and it's addicting. And the only thing

861
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 4: that's you know, really on my mind and then on

862
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 4: this team's mind is you know, win the division and

863
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 4: getting in the playoffs.

864
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 9: What type of locker room presence are you? I've been

865
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 9: in the locker room a little bit, but I'm obviously

866
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 9: not there as much. Are you more of a hype guy,

867
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 9: raw raw guy or you like? What is your And

868
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 9: I'm asking now because you know, you've you've you've you've

869
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 9: elevated some, You've got a little bit of a presence.

870
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 9: What is it like for you in the locker room

871
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 9: with your teammates.

872
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: Just in general, like on game day?

873
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, well in general, but especially on game day.

874
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: Well, you know, for on game day, you know, I'm

875
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 4: kind of going through my my process, my routine. I

876
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 4: wouldn't say I'm a very loud player. I'm not you know, dancing, singing,

877
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 4: you know, giving a raw raw speech. You know, when

878
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 4: we do break into like our position groups or just

879
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 4: a defense, like if I feel like there's something that

880
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 4: needs to be said, and especially with a role that

881
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 4: I had, like last week as a Mike linebacker or

882
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 4: just being a certain linebacker, you know, I feel like

883
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 4: you have to speak up at times, so I will

884
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 4: do that, but you know, in the locker room, you know,

885
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 4: I'm the same cash to everybody. I definitely you know,

886
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 4: doesn't matter who you are, what position you play, you know,

887
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 4: how close a relationship I have to you like, I'll always,

888
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 4: you know, make conversation with everyone, and I like to

889
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 4: joke around and have fun with all the guys because

890
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 4: it's that those relationships and the camaraderie with your teammates

891
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 4: that you know, makes playing in the NFL, playing out

892
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 4: your dream so special.

893
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 9: All Right, I'm gonna put you on the spot on

894
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 9: this a little bit because we all know one of

895
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 9: the things that opposing offenses are trying to do is

896
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 9: put the defense in conflict. They're trying to find you,

897
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 9: guys in compromise and positions. Maybe have you take risks

898
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 9: that you shouldn't that sort of thing. Maybe they'll take

899
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 9: a risk that they shouldn't. But take it off the

900
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 9: field for a second. I just want to ask you

901
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 9: the first thing that comes up to your mind. It

902
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 9: can be football, non football related. It's the biggest risk

903
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 9: that you've ever taken in your life, just as the

904
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 9: biggest risk Blake Cashman is taken. How'd it go?

905
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 4: Honestly, I would say the biggest risks I've taken was

906
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 4: walking on at Minnesota as an eighteen year old kid.

907
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 4: I had probably more people telling me, you know, I

908
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 4: wasn't going to be anything and I'm making a horrible decision,

909
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 4: uh than I did people you know, believing in me

910
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 4: and supporting me. And something I always say is, you know,

911
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 4: I had a lot of people that probably supported me,

912
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 4: but they didn't always believe in me, you know, until

913
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 4: I had to go make it happen. But you know,

914
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 4: there was some anxiety that came with making that decision

915
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 4: because you know, I wondered, you know, is this the

916
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 4: right decision? Am I good enough to play in the

917
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 4: Big ten? Where you know, I turned down some really

918
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 4: great Division two offers, good that had great football programs.

919
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 4: I turned down even good schools at the D three

920
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 4: level where I could have played football and basketball. Uh

921
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 4: So I've felt like I had other options that you know,

922
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 4: I knew were a sure thing, but I gambled on

923
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: myself and you know, did something that I maybe didn't

924
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 4: have as much confidence in at the moment.

925
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 9: How do you as a person reconcile support with lack

926
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 9: of belief like that that's got to feel kind of

927
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 9: conflicting for it.

928
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 4: I guess the way I've always put it is like,

929
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 4: you know, there's people around me that you know, support

930
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 4: me where like, hey, you're doing great work. You know,

931
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 4: we want to see you win, but in their hearts,

932
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 4: like you know, they probably don't believe to their core

933
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 4: that like I can actually get to that level. But hey,

934
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 4: they're going to support me because it's what they can see.

935
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 4: That's my passion and my love and that's what I

936
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 4: want to do and that's what I'm going to do.

937
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 4: So they're you know, they they care for me, they

938
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 4: want to support me, but to their core, you know,

939
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 4: they probably don't believe me. Because even when I've had

940
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 4: success at the collegiate level and in the you know,

941
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 4: professional level, you know, I have had those people that

942
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 4: have support me be like oh wow, like I can't

943
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 4: believe you've gotten this far. And like hearing those things

944
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 4: are conflicting themselves gets like, man, you've always like you know,

945
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 4: supported me, but like that that tells me that to

946
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 4: your core, to deep down, like you didn't really believe

947
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: I could accomplish even though they you know, you supported me.

948
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 9: Men's the way I see it made a believer out

949
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 9: of me. Man Blake Cashman, Texans linebacker here joining us

950
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 9: on this lant appreciate it.

951
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: Man, thank you for having me. It was fun.

952
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: Cash is awesome.

953
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 7: Man.

954
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: That dude is fun to watch on a football field.

955
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: He had the green dot the other day. He coaches

956
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: up the linebackers to make sure that they are where

957
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: they are supposed to be. He and Christian Harris thought

958
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job against the Arizona Cardinals and

959
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: they'll have a big test against Travis Etn this weekend

960
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll get back. We'll go over

961
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: the injury report on both sides, what it could mean,

962
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: and if you missed the news, Dalan Horton taking an

963
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: indefinite leave of absence from the Texans due to a

964
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: personal health matter. I hate that for Dylan and his

965
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: family to have to go through something of that magnitude

966
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: that forces him to have to step away. But Dylan

967
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: showed up on the injury report today as non injury

968
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: related illness, and about a half hour to forty five

969
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: minutes after the injury report was released, then a statement

970
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: was put out by Dylan, and our loving thoughts go

971
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: out to him, There's no question about that. But we

972
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: get back, we'll go through the injury report, what it

973
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: means for Sunday, who we might see, who we may

974
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: not see, and one big one on the Jaguars side,

975
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: we got to keep an eye on. We'll do that

976
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: next on Texas All Access. Look Max, This Wednesday, Nation

977
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access from the Monday Texans Radio studio.

978
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter, prepping

979
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: for Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The seventy three Jaguars

980
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: lead the AFC South. The six and four Texans are

981
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: right behind him, one game behind them, So a win

982
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: by the Texans makes the most seven and four, but

983
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: the Texans would have the tiebreaker having won both. A

984
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: win for the Jaguars gets them to eight and three.

985
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: Texas for all the six and five And now you

986
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: gotta well, now you gotta worry about the Indianapolis Colts

987
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: getting back in this whole thing. I think the Bucks.

988
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Colts played the Bucks, I believe this weekend.

989
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: So got all that going on with Sunday's game. So

990
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: the first injury report came out this week, and it

991
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: is kind of like the others names that you're used

992
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: to seeing on a Wednesday. Robert Woods not injury related rest,

993
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward dealing with the hamstring, Jeremy Tunson with the knee.

994
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: But we know Jeremie's Wednesdays. He's usually been ready to

995
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: go on Thursday and Friday, and fingers crossed that it's

996
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: gonna be the case. Case Keenum dealing with a cat

997
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: did not participate in practice today. Jake Hanson Noah Brown

998
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: also did not participate. Noa deal with that knee injury.

999
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: Knee injury that has been bothered him since the Bengals

1000
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: game he missed last week. Jake Hanson also missed last week.

1001
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: This one we saw him at practice but did not participate.

1002
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: That's Will Anderson Junior dealing with the knee. Jimmy Ward.

1003
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: I think I hit all of Jim Ward the hamstriks,

1004
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: So those are all dnps including as we mentioned the

1005
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: first couple of segments, Dan Horton not injury related illness,

1006
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: and we mentioned earlier that he put out a statement

1007
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: saying he's taking he's stepping away from the team due

1008
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: to a personal health matter that definitely needs attention. So

1009
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: I thought, you're with Dylan now full participation, and I

1010
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: don't want to bury the lead, but Charlie heck full

1011
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: with a back. Well, the back has been issued, but

1012
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: he's back fully. Damian Pierce a full participant at practice today.

1013
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: Henry to Atoe was also back as a full participant

1014
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: after that concussion, and Juice Scruggs was a full participant

1015
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: in practice on Wednesday. The Texans have at they've opened

1016
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: the window basically, that twenty one day window for Juice

1017
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: to get into. Don't know if that means to play,

1018
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: that he won't, that he will, don't know any of that,

1019
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: just know that he is back at practice after the

1020
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: hamstring that he's the hamstring injury suffered against the New

1021
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints back in preseason game week three. Now, there

1022
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: have been a lot of changes at center, a lot

1023
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: of changes at guard, A lot of things have gone

1024
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: on since that time. So we'll see. But it was

1025
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: good to see number seventy at practice today. Juice Scrugs

1026
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: a full participant in his first day back at practice.

1027
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: That's great stuff. Now the Jaguars injury report is not

1028
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: as long the three names on it, though, are huge.

1029
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: One name that's not because he's gone to IR that's

1030
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Agnew. That's a big one. That's a huge one.

1031
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: He's their WEAPONEX. He's the guy they go to when

1032
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: things get tough. Limited participants say Jones. He played in

1033
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 1: the game last week, Roy Robertson Harris, who I think

1034
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: is one of the underrated d linemen in the NFL.

1035
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: The big one is still Tyson Campbell. I think he's

1036
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl corner when he's fully healthy. He did

1037
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: not play and has not played for a while. He

1038
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: suffered the hamstring injury I think against the Saints a

1039
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. He did not play against the Titans.

1040
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 1: He was a do not and did not participate on

1041
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: Wednesday with the Jaguars at practice dealing with a hamstring.

1042
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: The Jaguars last week went with Darius Williams five to

1043
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: nine and Monterrek Brown, who I don't think is but

1044
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's very tall at all. Now I

1045
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: bring that up because well two reasons. Monterrey Brown now

1046
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars and started last week opposite He's six

1047
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: foot one night, so he's a little bit better A

1048
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 1: little bit bigger, and they're gonna need it because Nico

1049
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: Collins has had some decent games against them. Now, Tank

1050
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: Dell was the guy last time, but I'd imagine teams

1051
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: are gonna start taking or trying to take Tank away.

1052
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: And if you've got smaller corners that now have to

1053
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: focus on on Nico Collins. Tyson Campbell's six two six three.

1054
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: He struggled with with Nico last year, So we'll keep

1055
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: it ony on Tyson Campbell and his status for this one.

1056
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: All right, we get back. It's time for a little

1057
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: men behind the mics with Frank Frangie. That's next on

Speaker 2: ever played with the Jaguars, no doubt. Thoughts and thanks

1079
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 2: for coming on.

1080
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 7: Mark, Good to talk to you man. Happy Thanksgiving. And

1081
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 7: I agree with you. It's the second time that the

1082
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 7: Technics gutted the Jags the last time, which is kind

1083
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 7: of surprised people. People didn't see that one coming. So

1084
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 7: Jacksonville hasn't lost sight of that. But no, I was

1085
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 7: thinking the same thing you were. We've played each other

1086
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 7: a bunch. There's been a stretch where Houston's dominated this division.

1087
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 7: The Jags have never dominated the division, but they've had

1088
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 7: some moments. Right, I've been the first time. They're the

1089
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 7: two best teams in the division. One of them is

1090
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 7: going to win the division, and yeah, that means everything.

1091
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 7: I think it's a big deal around here, and I

1092
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 7: know it's a big deal in Houston as well.

1093
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 6: Well.

1094
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 2: I know it's been a nice run for the Jags

1095
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: since the Texans visited North Florida earlier in the season.

1096
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 2: And as I look at the games from Afar, Frank

1097
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: am I right in saying that, Yeah, Trevor Lawrence has

1098
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 2: played well, but Traves Etn has really been a difference

1099
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 2: maker for this team and often goes under discussed by

1100
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: the national media when they're talking about the Jaguars. He's

1101
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: sort of underappreciated nationwide.

1102
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 7: Your thoughts, as I think you're dead on. I think

1103
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 7: the Jags. The Jags are six and one since since

1104
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 7: you left Towns. It's the Houston game, so they've played

1105
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 7: very well in that scretch. They've had a good they

1106
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,479
Speaker 7: have a good football team. I agree with you about

1107
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 7: the Travis Etn. He's today's back mark. He plays in space,

1108
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,720
Speaker 7: he plays like Christian McCaffrey. He's not as good as McCaffrey.

1109
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 7: Mcaffrey's the best back in the league. But beyond, once

1110
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 7: you get beyond Christian McCaffrey, I don't know that there's

1111
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 7: another guy, one of those in space airbacks that does

1112
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 7: so much. It's a lot better than Travis etn He's

1113
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 7: a really good player. He's the first round pick. He's

1114
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 7: a big, he's a big. He's an important part of

1115
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 7: everything they're doing here. I think he's a really good player,

1116
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 7: and he plays hard. He gets hit a lot. I

1117
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 7: think they're probably going to have to at some point

1118
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 7: you use Daranis Johnson more, use Tank Big, be the

1119
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 7: rookie more. They're gonna have to play some other guys

1120
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 7: because you don't want your your lead back getting hit,

1121
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 7: probably as much as he does. But he's played great.

1122
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 7: I think your assessment's dead on. People don't realize what

1123
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 7: a good back he is.

1124
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 2: How has Trevor Lawrence been It's year three, how's the

1125
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 2: development going?

1126
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: Overall?

1127
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 7: The numbers probably aren't what he will expected. Going into

1128
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 7: last week's game. He had nine touchdowns in nine games.

1129
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 7: You would think more than that, right, I mean, I

1130
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 7: think we all we all measure these stats these days,

1131
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 7: but I think he's playing just fine. I had a

1132
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 7: very good game last week against the Titans. He get

1133
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 7: this mark. He ran for two touchdowns and he threw

1134
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 7: for two touchdowns. In the twenty nine year history of

1135
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 7: the Jaguars, that's the first time that's ever happened. They've

1136
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 7: never had a guy throw for two and run for

1137
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 7: two in the same game. I think he's playing great.

1138
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 7: The knee injury bothered him. He wasn't quite as mobile,

1139
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 7: and he's really fast. He's I mean, he's a straight ahead,

1140
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 7: straight ahead He's faster than most quarterbacks. And I think

1141
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 7: that eliminated a little bit of the RPO game, a

1142
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 7: lot of the stuff they like to do with him,

1143
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 7: and I think that's back now. But I think Trevor's

1144
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 7: playing just fined. He got beat up in the national

1145
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 7: media a little bit. I'll say this about him. Not

1146
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 7: much bothers him, not much. He's pretty you know, you

1147
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 7: know Trevor. If you got to know Trevor at all,

1148
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 7: he's very laid back. He doesn't really get caught up

1149
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 7: on when people say good or bad. I think he's

1150
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 7: playing really well. I think he's on the best leader

1151
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 7: of this team, and they play as he plays, and

1152
00:51:59,000 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 7: I think he's doing just fine.

1153
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: Are you like the Texans in that when you ask

1154
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: who's the number one receiver?

1155
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 6: Is it everybody?

1156
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: Really?

1157
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 2: Because Ingram leads them in catches and Kirk's playing well,

1158
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 2: I mean, Kirk is so steady they even throw it

1159
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: to et at a bunch.

1160
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 6: Is there really no clear cut number one? Frank? And

1161
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 6: is who's got the hot hand of a given Sunday?

1162
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 7: Well that's exactly what it is. But with an addendum, yes,

1163
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 7: they're all even. When the A Jones came back last week.

1164
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 7: When they've got all four guys, the big four they

1165
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 7: call them, Calvin Ridley's A Jones, Christian Kirk and Ingram

1166
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 7: who's sort of a hybrid tight end that really plays

1167
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 7: in the slot a lot. When they've got all four

1168
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 7: of those guys, it's pretty even. And I'll say this,

1169
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 7: We've had a lot of years around here, Mark where

1170
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 7: it was even because none of them were standout, you

1171
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 7: know what I mean, When we had Alan Robinson and

1172
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 7: Allen Hearns and Martis Lee and Mercedes they were all

1173
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 7: about the same then too, and I was a good

1174
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 7: team in seventeen. But it's because none of them are

1175
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 7: headed to a lot of Pro Bowls. These four guys

1176
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 7: are pretty good. Now this is Ridley gives them to

1177
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 7: take the top off the defense, guy that they really

1178
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 7: haven't had. They Jones can be that the Ridley gives

1179
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 7: them that. Christian Kirk's the best slot receiver I've seen.

1180
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 7: He works the middle of the field. Evan ingram Le's

1181
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 7: all tight ends in catches in the league. I think, yes,

1182
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 7: they're all four evens. And when they're all four together

1183
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 7: plus Etn Trevor Lawns has weapon there's a reason they're

1184
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 7: six in one of those last seven games. I mean

1185
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 7: the defense has played really well too. But yes, all

1186
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 7: four of those guys, Any four of those guys can

1187
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 7: have the big game, and all four of them have

1188
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,439
Speaker 7: had big games, including Ridley, who just got here this year.

1189
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 2: Frank Francie voice of the Jaguars with us. So Frank, defensively,

1190
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: let's talk about Josh Allen a little bit. Nine and

1191
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 2: a half sacks, my goodness, a TFLs Aluakun and he

1192
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 2: seemed to be leading the way. Who else is good there?

1193
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 2: And give me something on those first two guys.

1194
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 7: I think the surprise of this football team is the defense.

1195
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 7: We knew that the offense would be pretty good. I'm

1196
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 7: not sure the offense is hit stride yet, but the

1197
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 7: defense has been really good. Josh Allen's in a contract year.

1198
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 7: He's a first round draft pick, the tenth overall pick,

1199
00:53:58,360 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 7: had a very good rookie year, and then he had

1200
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 7: two or three years of one look good and he knew.

1201
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 7: He went mark when the other team was training here,

1202
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 7: he went out to Arizona. He trained on his own.

1203
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 7: He said that he's got three kids, he likes living here.

1204
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 7: He wants the new contract here, and he committed himself

1205
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 7: to be the best Josh Allen he could, to be

1206
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 7: in the best shape he could be in it. And

1207
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 7: he's a He's a real respective guy in this community.

1208
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 7: He's kind of like Kalais camp Well. Everybody loves him.

1209
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 7: He's he's the guy that everybody asks for, and he

1210
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 7: got himself in great shape and having a big time,

1211
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 7: big time year. Foyer Lucon's one of the best time.

1212
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 7: He's been the leading tactor in the league the last

1213
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 7: two years and he's probably top three now. He is

1214
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 7: a steady influence. He's the old school middle linebacker. He

1215
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 7: goes sideline the sideline. He doesn't get noticed a lot.

1216
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 7: He just tackles people. But I'll tell you what, Devin Lloyd,

1217
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 7: the guy next to him, has played really well. It's

1218
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 7: been a pretty good defense. I to me, even me, Mark,

1219
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 7: I thought the offense would have to carry him. They'd

1220
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 7: have to win a few of those thirty four to

1221
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 7: thirty ones. Now it doesn't look like that's the year

1222
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 7: we're having in the NFL at all. Anyone's going back

1223
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 7: a lot. But I thought that's what it was going

1224
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 7: to be, and it's not been. It's been it's been

1225
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 7: play good def and make enough plays on offense. And

1226
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 7: that's not the Jags I expected. But the defense overall

1227
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 7: has been very good.

1228
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 2: Brank, What are they saying about the Texans in Jacksonville?

1229
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 2: What are they saying about this matchup with Houston coming

1230
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 2: in pretty hot?

1231
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 8: Here?

1232
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 7: Let me tell you a story about that. I think

1233
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 7: I told you this in the offseason. If I didn't,

1234
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 7: for your listen as I'll tell it again. So I

1235
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 7: had an off week last week. Last year we played

1236
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 7: off again. I loved doing the college GAF. You you

1237
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 7: and I both have done college games before. We were

1238
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 7: doing the pro game, right, So I love compege games.

1239
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 7: So I went and did. I got hired to do

1240
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 7: Ohio State Maryland last year. I think I told you

1241
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 7: the story and in College Park and it was a

1242
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 7: fantastic game. Thirty five thirty one something like that came

1243
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 7: down the wire. Tealiah tungka Ioloa was very good for Maryland.

1244
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 7: TJ was playing for Ohio State. I called that game.

1245
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 7: I came back here and said, you guys got to

1246
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 7: see this guy. This guy's Joe Burrow. This guy's better

1247
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 7: than Bryce Young, this guy's better than Anthony Rigis, and

1248
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 7: this guy's better than the guys that have been in

1249
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 7: the draft. This guy's really good. Well, people thought I

1250
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 7: lost my mind. I'm not bragging because I called. I'm

1251
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 7: telling you, Marcus, what happened. You know. I saw CJ.

1252
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 7: Stroud and I thought, the smoothness which he plays, the

1253
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 7: way he sees the field, the way he gets the

1254
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 7: ball out, how accurate he is. He's Joe Burrow. And

1255
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 7: so I'm not surprised. And so when he got off

1256
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 7: to his start, I'm not surprised at all. I think

1257
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 7: people around here were surprised. If the Texans are this good,

1258
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 7: maybe the first two or three weeks. Bro, I don't

1259
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 7: think anyone's surprised anymore. Dmiico Ryans looks like a good hire.

1260
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 7: They play with a toughness, They played with an energy.

1261
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: C J.

1262
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,760
Speaker 7: Stroud is going to be one of the outstanding quarterbacks

1263
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 7: in this league. For a long time, we saw Damian

1264
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 7: Pierce here, didn't get used enough. Tank Dell, I had

1265
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 7: no idea was that good. They're going to be that good.

1266
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 6: Oh.

1267
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 7: I think people are impressed with the Texans, and so

1268
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 7: I don't think to your question, Mark, I don't think

1269
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 7: they're surprised anymore. I think we were all surprised when

1270
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 7: the season began. But I think everybody here knows what

1271
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 7: Houston's got going out there. I really do.

1272
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 2: Frank Frazie, voice of the Jaguars, join us. All right, Frank,

1273
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 2: the division. You just played the Titans. What do you

1274
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 2: think of their situation? Saw them up close and personal.

1275
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 2: I mean, they had that rough second half last year,

1276
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 2: they're having a rough year this year.

1277
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 6: Thoughts.

1278
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's funny. They're never the rebuilding team.

1279
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 7: You think about that, Mark, They're never rebuilding. You're rebuilding.

1280
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 7: You're going through it and coming out of it. Now,

1281
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 7: the Jagger rebuilding way too often. You know, the Colts

1282
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 7: now are rebuilding with Anthony Richardson, and because they've had

1283
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 7: all the veteran quarterbacks for a while. The Titans are

1284
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 7: the team that's never rebuilding. They're always kind of built.

1285
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 7: Even if they're not built perfectly, they're kind of built.

1286
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 7: They look like they're rebuilding. They've committed to a rookie quarterback.

1287
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 7: Their offensive line unusually isn't very good. Derrick Henry doesn't

1288
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 7: have much help. He's had a lot of help in

1289
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 7: the past. Now, I really think Mike Rabel is a

1290
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 7: good coach and I think Ramcrosson is going to be

1291
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 7: a good GM so I think they've got the right

1292
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 7: people in place to rebuild it. I've always had a

1293
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 7: lot of respects for that franchise, I really have, particularly

1294
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 7: with Rabels, but they're not the Titans of old. They're

1295
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 7: off the mark a little bit. That was probably the

1296
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 7: most struggling young Titans team I've seen in my ten

1297
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 7: years calling the games. So they'll be back because I

1298
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 7: think they have the right people building it, but they're

1299
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 7: off the mark right now. Mark They truly are.

1300
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 2: All right about the cults. To me, they're laying in

1301
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 2: the weeds here. I look at their schedule, I look

1302
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: at how well they can play. They might do some

1303
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 2: damage here down the stretch. They could be kind of pesky,

1304
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 2: if not more than that. What are your thoughts on them?

1305
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 7: They could be, they could be. I think that's a

1306
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 7: good I think I think they heard the right guy

1307
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 7: and changed. I could that stuff that wasn't a miride

1308
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 7: what he did in Philadelphia. He's pretty good, and I

1309
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 7: think they're going to be pretty good. So so I'm

1310
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 7: not surprised that they're going to be headed in the

1311
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 7: rights of the right direction. I don't see them factoring

1312
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 7: this season. I don't. I would surprise me if they

1313
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 7: factored this season. They've lost their quarterback. We all know

1314
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 7: Gardner Minshew around here. He was terrific for here, but

1315
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 7: he's limited, and so I don't see them becoming a

1316
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 7: playoff team. I'd be surprised. I think they're gonna build

1317
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 7: it the right way, and I think Richardson's gonna be

1318
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 7: pretty good. But right now, I'd be a little surprised.

1319
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 7: I think, is you ever know, Mark, you know the

1320
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 7: NFL is schedule matters, how you're playing at the time

1321
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 7: matters but I don't. My guess would be they're not

1322
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 7: going to fact, I'd be a little bit surprised the

1323
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 7: Therabic factor this year.

1324
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 2: What do you think of the Jags schedule down the

1325
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 2: stretch here, Frank, because after the Texans you get the Bengals, Browns, Ravens.

1326
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 2: That looks pretty tough, indeed, and then who knows what

1327
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 2: happens with the Buccaneers by the time you play them.

1328
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 2: But let's just take the relatively immediate future. What do

1329
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 2: you think of the schedule?

1330
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 7: Toughest game is Sunday. I'm not saying, just said, I'm

1331
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 7: talking to you that's the tough one. Don't get know,

1332
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 7: the Ravens are really good. I mean, the Ravens are good,

1333
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 7: and Lamar's really good. They Ravens have more wins than

1334
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 7: anybody in the in the in the AFC. But I

1335
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 7: think the toughest one is this one. I think the

1336
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 7: Texans have found something. They're a young team playing with

1337
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 7: some energy. After this game, the Jags, like a lot

1338
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,919
Speaker 7: of teams, caught some breaks with the quarterback injuries. It's

1339
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 7: just been a weird year for quarterbacks. I mean, they

1340
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 7: don't have to play Joe Burrow now gone for the year.

1341
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 7: They don't have to play de Shan Watson now gone

1342
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 7: for the year. That's two teams that are they have

1343
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 7: they have to play that are good teams that aren't

1344
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 7: as good. They're playing Bryce Young, who's a young quarterback.

1345
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 7: My guess is by the time they played Tampa on

1346
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 7: Christmas Eve, Tampa by then will be playing Kyle Trast

1347
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 7: to see what they've got with Kyle Trast, because I

1348
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 7: think they'll be out of it. There's no real point

1349
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 7: in playing Baker Mayfield when you're kind of out of it,

1350
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 7: you know, so, so they're going to play a lot

1351
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 7: of young quarterbacks and backup quarterbacks. I think the toughest game. Look,

1352
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 7: the Ravens are really good, and don't kid yourself, the

1353
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 7: Browns and the Bengals are all The Browns are having

1354
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 7: a good year and the Bengals are always good. So

1355
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 7: there's no easy games, but the toughest one someday. And

1356
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 7: I think that's what everybody around here thinks. You know,

1357
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 7: you always say the most important game is this one

1358
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 7: because it's the next one. Well, I think that's true,

1359
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 7: but I also think this is important because I think

1360
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 7: the Texans are really good this is the this game.

1361
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 10: Man.

1362
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 7: If the Jags win the game, they've got a two

1363
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 7: game lead with six to play. All right. That If

1364
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 7: the Texans win the game, they're really in first place

1365
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 7: because even though the records are the same, they will

1366
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 7: have swept the Jags, so they'll have the tiebreaker. So

1367
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 7: that's how big is the point you made we started here.

1368
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 7: That's how big this one is. Man. This is a

1369
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 7: really really big game, and I think it's the toughest

1370
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 7: game left on and a tough schedule cover it up.

1371
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 7: I think this is the ardest one.

1372
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 2: All Right, one more for you, Frank. I know you

1373
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 2: talk a lot of college football on your show. Florida

1374
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 2: State and Florida We all know what just happened to

1375
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 2: the Seminoles over the weekend at the quarterback position. What

1376
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 2: about this game and moving forward for the Seminoles.

1377
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 7: First of all, I think Florida State will still but

1378
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 7: Florida State has had a great year. I think they're

1379
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 7: still going to be the Gators. Both teams lost quarterbacks.

1380
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 7: Jordan Travis is the more accomplished and that one means

1381
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 7: more because of everything SSU had and has it in

1382
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 7: front of it. Florida lost their guy too. Their granam

1383
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 7: Mertz been pretty good. They get the transfer from Wisconsin

1384
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 7: twenty touchdowns, three picks, Jordan Travis twenty touchdowns, two picks.

1385
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 7: They both had really good years, so they're both playing

1386
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 7: backup quarterbacks. Roddamakers played a little bit more marked than

1387
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 7: the got Florida's playing. The Max Bounder hadn't played really

1388
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 7: at all. I think Florida State's going to come in

1389
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 7: here and beat Florida in Gainesville. And I'll say this

1390
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 7: if I don't think there's any danger of Florida State

1391
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 7: not If Florida State wins out, they need to be

1392
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 7: in the playoffs. There's a lot of talk, well, now

1393
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 7: they lost, Travis, Washington will jump on. Well, doesn't matter

1394
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 7: if Washington jumps them or not. But if the Ohio

1395
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 7: State Michigan loser jumps Florida State and Florida State's undefeated,

1396
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 7: that would be a travesty. That would be wrong. Yeah,

1397
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 7: really wrong. And I hope and I hope that. I

1398
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 7: don't think it's going to happen, But people talking about

1399
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 7: what if, I surely hope it doesn't happen. I don't

1400
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 7: think it should happen or will happen, but I'd be

1401
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 7: really disappointed at that wound up happening. The bottom line

1402
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 7: is Florida State turned its way. I think if she

1403
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 7: was gonna beat Florida, I think if she was gonna

1404
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 7: beat Louisville. I saw Louisville in person. I went down

1405
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 7: to Miami Mark on Saturday because you know, tourettam my

1406
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 7: buddy had his number retired by the Hurricanes, and so

1407
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 7: that was kind of a cool day, your old stopping grounds.

1408
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 7: But it was it was a neat getaway. But I

1409
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 7: think if she was gonna win, I think if she

1410
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 7: was gonna get to gonna get to thirteen and zero.

1411
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 7: Now at that point without Jordan Travis, I doubt they

1412
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 7: can hang with Georgia in Michigan how to say, Washington,

1413
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 7: whoever it is. But I think they're gonna win and

1414
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 7: get to the playoffs.

1415
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 1: Sounds good.

1416
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 6: Frank, thanks so much for the information and the time.

1417
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,439

1418
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,160

1423
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: and I did that as we go in the lab.

1424
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:02,800

Speaker 10: we pick a cream of the cropper, before we get

1438
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 10: into the interview that I did with Blake Cashman, most

1439
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 10: overrated side dish Thanksgiving is well, the.

1440
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: Most overrated dish at Thanksgiving to me, just in general's turkey,

1441
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: You're overrated then?

1442
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1443
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 10: Okay, okay, one of those people that hates candy corns.

1444
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: Also, no, no, I love candy corn I loved No, listen,

1445
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: you save yourself. I like turkey a good Now where

1446
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: did I have? Dang it, where was this I had?

1447
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Oh it was upstairs one day. They had a smoked

1448
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: turkey upstairs for us for lunch one day and it

1449
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: was fantastic. Turkey done really, really well. I think is good.

1450
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: But sometimes Thanksgiving turkey is not always done extremely well,

1451
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: and so it's just kind of like, okay, But I

1452
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: love all the sides. Man, I'm not a big vegetable

1453
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: sides guy, so like, you know, spinach stuff and collar

1454
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: greens and things like that like that like that that's

1455
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: not me. But corn and sweep tail cast role and

1456
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes. As long as mash potatoes are done my way,

1457
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: then yeah, we're good.

1458
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 8: You're cool, We're good.

1459
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about you? Which one's overrated? You know?

1460
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 10: I'm not that big on stuffing or dressing. I find

1461
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 10: that comical that people love fighting about what it's called.

1462
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, carry either way.

1463
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 10: When it's musky, I really don't like it. Yeah, so

1464
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 10: I'm not. I think that's a little bit overrated. It's good,

1465
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 10: but it's not great.

1466
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: So I like to change things up. But Thanksgiving my

1467
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: wife does not. My wife is we have this, this,

1468

1472
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 1: wife and daughter have been in LA for the last

1473
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: couple this will be the second Thanksgiving they've been there for.

1474
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: So we get our turkey because I just don't want

1475
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: to mess with it. We get our turkey from a

1476
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: local establishment that I love and we've gotten it from

1477

01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 10: That's that's good stuff.

1487
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:53,000

Speaker 7: Like ham too.

1492
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 10: My guy motor Singletary was talking about that yesterday. He's like,

1493
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 10: I gotta have some ham like yeah, so he's like

1494
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 10: red velvet cake, which I'm for all that.

1495
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to have the turkey on Thanksgiving.

1496
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: If you have a good protein you like, go with it.

1497
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 5: Go with it.

1498
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 10: Devin Singletary keeps rising in my books as a one

1499
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 10: of the favorite Texans. So let's get into what if

1500
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 10: I told you? What if I told you I love

1501
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 10: that thirty for thirty voice there? So what if I

1502
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 10: told you John before the game Sunday that this is

1503
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 10: gonna happen. I came up and I put my arm around,

1504
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 10: just like, hey, listen, John, We're gonna throw three interceptions today.

1505
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 10: We're gonna get sacked four times today, John, John Davis

1506
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 10: Mills is going to be in the ball game today.

1507
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 10: We're gonna lose the time of possession. John, We're not

1508
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 10: gonna score in the second half. What if I told

1509
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:47,479
Speaker 10: you those things?

1510
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: What if I told you, well, there'd be a lot.

1511
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: First of all, I would have thought, Okay, CJ got hurt.

1512
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he had one of the interceptions. Davis came in,

1513
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he had one of the interceptions. Maybe they try

1514
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: to have back pass. It went wrong.

1515
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 8: It was that person.

1516
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 10: That's where a sack came in the that was technically

1517
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 10: that Tank Dell pulled up. He could they credited that

1518
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 10: with a sack of Tank Dell. He kind of did

1519
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 10: one of those end around.

1520
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: I was wondering how Yeah, and I knew he was

1521
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: throwing it. I could see it right away, I said Mark.

1522
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: As soon as he threw it to Tank, I was like,

1523
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: he's throwing this.

1524
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 8: They're gonna hit that. They're gonna hit that someday too.

1525
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Well, Tank and throw Yeah, I know. I noticed this

1526
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 1: the other day when he was throwing.

1527
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 4: Uh.

1528
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: I can't remember if it's that practice or it was

1529
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: pregame and I'm watching him throw and I'm like, he

1530
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: can't really throw it. I would be shocked if they

1531
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: don't have something for him.

1532
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 8: It's the hell of a football player role he really.

1533
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: Is, and he was going to throw that. There was

1534
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: just there was just nothing available downfield that Cardinals did

1535
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: a great job, so I would have said I would

1536
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: have said all of that. I think what counter balances

1537
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: those things is the fact that your first thirty minutes

1538
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: offensive football were incredible. You know, you put up twenty

1539
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 1: one in that half, and you you left points on

1540
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: the field in the first half. You left plenty of

1541
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: points on the field in the second half. And and look,

1542
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: I hate seeing CJ throw throw interceptions. You know. The

1543
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: one tip ball, Yeah, that's a tough one. Tipballs are

1544
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: always they're.

1545
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 8: Tricky, right.

1546
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: The one that he threw to to Nico and the enzone,

1547
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: I think was a little bit of a heat check,

1548
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: just you know, they were you just watch and you

1549
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: freeze frame. At one point you're like, there are six

1550
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals around Nico, right, there wasn't much there, you know,

1551
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: the the one by Antonio Hamilton on the sidelines, I'd

1552
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 1: let go back and see again, because that was that

1553
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,560
Speaker 1: was away from me. But it was just, you know,

1554
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: a throw. I'm sure CJ would like to have back.

1555
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: But you can't really say other than that he was

1556
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: twenty I want to say he's twenty seven of thirty

1557
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: six something like that. If you take the three interceptions out,

1558
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: he's like twenty seven to thirty three, and he just

1559
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: he was dotting throws. I mean, his throws were.

1560
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 10: Just twenty seven to thirty seven for three three six,

1561
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 10: So he's.

1562
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: Seven thirty four without the interceptions. Three point thirty plus

1563
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I mean, look, it's six completions twenty or more.

1564
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: I'll turn this around on you, Drew. If I'd have

1565
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: told you at the beginning of the year that at

1566
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: week ten, after week ten, CJ would be seventeen to

1567
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, interceptions, all these receivers would have all these yards.

1568
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you would have taken it all day, all day,

1569
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: every day. I think this is one of the fascinating

1570
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: things about about this offense, and you know CJ driving

1571
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: it is the fact that they've had three receivers do

1572
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: it twice, so six times one hundred and forty plus

1573
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: yards receiving in a game. Nico's done it twice Indianapolis

1574
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh, Noah did it twice, Tampa Bay and Cincinnati,

1575
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: Tank did it twice Jacksonville, and this past week against Arizona,

1576
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: they've each done it twice.

1577
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 10: And let me flip around. Your flip around here, because

1578
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 10: you mentioned those stats. You also have one guy, Nico

1579
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 10: averaging sixteen point two yards a catch, another guy Tank

1580
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 10: fifteen point seven. So that's two guys averaging sixteen to catch.

1581
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 10: And you got a third guy, Noe Brown, who did

1582
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 10: play the other day, basically averaging twenty one yards in

1583
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 10: catch three different That's that's wild.

1584
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Well to that, to that point, to my point, about

1585
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty yards plus receivings happened six times

1586
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 1: in ten games. How many times did it happen in

1587
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two? Don't think too hard.

1588
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 8: Zero?

1589
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, zero they had There were two we had two

1590
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: one hundred yard receiving games Brandon Cooks and Week eighteen

1591
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: against Indianapolis, save your jokes. And then they barely got that, right, Yeah,

1592
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: barely got it. He got on that fourth down throw game.

1593
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 10: I'm not saying that, I'm just saying barely cracked.

1594
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then Chris Moore had one hundred.

1595
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: He had ten cats for one hundred and twenty four

1596
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: yards against Cowboys. So they only had two one hundred

1597
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: yard receiving games. You add in tanks one hundred yard

1598
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: receiving game against Tampa, and then you add in one

1599
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville, Well that was one hundred and forty plus. Yeah,

1600
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 1: so you add in one for Tank and one for

1601
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,759
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, you're talking about eight one hundred plus yard

1602
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: receiving games. Wow. So it's not as if CJ's come

1603
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: in and just said, you know what, I'm gonna rely

1604
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: on Stefon Diggs or I'm gonna rely on Jordan Jefferson.

1605
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna lie on DJ Moore Like he's gone, Okay,

1606
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: they're taking this away. I'll take this. Okay, you're gonna

1607
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: take that away. I'll take this, take this and that away.

1608
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I'll go there. And he's done that all year, and

1609
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: I think that's really what's what's kind of changed this

1610
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 1: offense in some sense, the fact that well this, well

1611
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: this is a tank game. Is it a Nico game?

1612
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: Is it a Noah game? Is a Robert Woods game?

1613
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: One of those guys has been kind of the and

1614
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: I called it the other night in radio. I called

1615
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: it the Big Connection. I've called it that because it

1616
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: feels like each and every week CJ. Stroud has that

1617
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: connection with at least one of these receivers, and hopefully

1618
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: that will continue going forward. I like the Tampa Bay

1619
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: game where there were three guys that was pretty fun

1620
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: in the Tampa Bay game. So how about that on Sunday,

1621
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: three guys that go over. I'd be down for that.

1622
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 1: Heck yea, I would it make JP Shadwick kind of upset,

1623
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 1: and we don't like to make JP upset unless it's

1624
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars have lost. And who's JP Shadrick. Well,

1625
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: he knows the Jaguars as well as anybody, and Drew

1626
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: sticks around to go behind enemy sidelines next right here

1627
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 1: on Texans All Access. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to

1628
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: this final segment of Texans All Access with me John Harris,

1629
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: football analysts, sidelout reporter for your Houston Texans. It's time

1630
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: to go behind enemy sidelines. But man Drew Doherty caught

1631
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: up with j P Shadrick. JP knows the Jags inside

1632
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: now it does work for Jaguars dot Com. He's also

1633
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: doing Westwood one games this week. I think he's got

1634
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,879
Speaker 1: Michigan Ohio State on Westwood One. That's gonna be incredible.

1635
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: I believe he tweeted that out the other day. So

1636
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: he does some great stuff in the college football realm

1637
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: on radio. So JP Shadrick the voice right here with

1638
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty.

1639
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 10: I always love talking with JP Shadrick. I don't get

1640
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 10: to do it enough, but the guy has and we

1641
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 10: all talk about this here in the building. Me Mark Vandermier,

1642
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,560
Speaker 10: John Harrison or good paldep City as well. She's not

1643
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 10: in the building anymore. But anyways, we always talk about JP.

1644
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 10: Shadrick has the best pipes and we all have our

1645
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 10: own JP Shadrick impersonation. But JP, how the hell are.

1646
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 8: You, my friend? I'm well, you're not deep An, I'm

1647
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 8: not DP.

1648
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 10: Sadly, I'm absolutely positively not de I missed deep She's

1649
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 10: my sister.

1650
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: We all do.

1651
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 8: It's great to talk with you though, due it really is.

1652
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 8: And we're doing well.

1653
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 10: Man.

1654
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 8: The Jags are in first place. Yeah for now, I mean,

1655
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 8: we'll see. This is a who would have thought at

1656
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 8: the start of the season that the Texans Jaguars matchup

1657
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 8: could be the pivotal game in the AFC South race

1658
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 8: here in twenty twenty three. I never would have imagined

1659
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 8: that on Thanksgiving weekend, No.

1660
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 10: I thought, and I thought, like long ago this, you know,

1661
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 10: in this year, this calendar year, I thought Texans are

1662
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 10: going to be a lot better.

1663
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 8: But I didn't know it'd be this good.

1664
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: And it was.

1665
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 8: This was before C. J.

1666
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,560
Speaker 10: Stroud came along. But I thought this team's gonna be

1667
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 10: a lot better. But JP, think about this, first time

1668
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 10: we've ever met, ever met with both teams above five hundred.

1669
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 10: That's never happened in the matchup. I know it's never

1670
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 10: happened in November December, and then somebody said there was

1671
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 10: an ESPN graphic that it's never happened in general.

1672
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 8: I mean, that's bananas, it really is. And there's been

1673
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 8: just kind of ships in the night, right. The Jaguars

1674
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 8: were pretty good in the early days of the Texans,

1675
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 8: but the Texans weren't there yet, and then the Texans

1676
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 8: got really good and the Jaguar stunk.

1677
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: For a long time.

1678
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 8: So now maybe this is what the future of the

1679
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 8: AFC South will hold. And it happens when you have

1680
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 8: a quarterback, and both teams have a quarterback. Now it

1681
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 8: feels like and Stroud's ascension has gone quickly. Trevor Lawrence

1682
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 8: has I think turned the corner certainly last season at

1683
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 8: the end of the year, and there are moments this

1684
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 8: year where you see him really taking steps in the

1685
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 8: right direction again. And I don't think he's hit his

1686
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 8: full stride yet either. So this could be a decade

1687
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 8: long quarterback conversation in the division.

1688
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, And as far as the teams go, this year,

1689
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 10: in a lot of ways, they're mirror images of each other.

1690
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 10: It's like the same thing to a degree. You've got,

1691
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 10: like you mentioned, the great quarterbacks. I think both head

1692
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 10: coaches are very capable. They've been there and done that

1693
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 10: to a different extent, They've got kind of that that

1694
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:25,719
Speaker 10: cachet in the locker room, you know, of being former players.

1695
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 10: Both teams are tied and turnover differential. Both teams have

1696
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 10: some explosion at receiver. It's just odd all the similarities

1697
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 10: that these two teams have, and they're both kind of

1698
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 10: near the tippy top of their own division. You guys,

1699
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 10: certainly the Jaguars are, and if the Texans were to win,

1700
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 10: they would have that top slot for the next week

1701
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 10: or so. But let's start with the quarterback, and let's

1702
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 10: actually let's rewind. Let's start with the team overall. Since

1703
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 10: the Texans won in Week three, this has been a

1704
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 10: lights out Jags warts Jaguars team. One hiccup against the Niners,

1705
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 10: but otherwise you've won every single game. What's changed or

1706
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 10: what stayed the same with the Jags since that Week

1707
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 10: three matchup in Jacksonville.

1708
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 8: Well, what changed for the Jaguars right after that game

1709
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 8: was the continent they left and they went to London

1710
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 8: for two weeks straight, got the heck out of here

1711
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 8: for a little while. And I think that's just what

1712
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 8: the doctor ordered for the Jaguars, just to get away. Yeah,

1713
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 8: you can bring some family and do all that whatever,

1714
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 8: but we're gonna travel together. We're gonna stay out in

1715
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 8: the farm together, and we're gonna practice together. And it's

1716
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 8: like training camp again. And they kind of got back

1717
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 8: to basics a little bit. I don't know if the

1718
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,799
Speaker 8: whole camaraderie. They weren't singing Kumbaya by the campfire or anything,

1719
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 8: but there's something to that. And it worked and they

1720
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 8: beat the Falcons and then they beat the Bills, and

1721
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 8: all of a sudden they were rolling and they come

1722
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 8: back stateside and you know, at the end of it,

1723
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,440
Speaker 8: they had won five straight weeks in five different stadiums,

1724
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 8: in four different cities over a seven time zone stretch.

1725
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 8: And I don't care what kind of football team you are,

1726
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,679
Speaker 8: that is really good winning football and just doing.

1727
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 1: It different ways.

1728
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 8: The defense found a way most weeks to get it done.

1729
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 8: The offense had their moments right, but the defense really

1730
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 8: was a big piece of this thing. Taking the ball

1731
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 8: away Trevor at key moments, you know, using his legs

1732
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 8: to keep the chains moving if he needed to, even

1733
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 8: playing through a knee injury on a short week on

1734
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 8: a Thursday night in that stretch. So that's where you thought, Okay,

1735
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,839
Speaker 8: this is something different about this team. They are resilient,

1736
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 8: as you said. Then they you know, the forty nine

1737
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 8: ers come in here and give them a wake up

1738
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 8: call again. But as has always been the case under

1739
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,680
Speaker 8: Doug Peterson, when the Jaguars get blown out, which they

1740
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 8: have done now four times ten points or more losses

1741
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 8: under Doug Peterson, the next week after that loss there

1742
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 8: four and oh they come back, they win, They find

1743
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 8: a way, and they did it last week. So now

1744
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 8: they're poised and they've got the leadership to do it

1745
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 8: on the in the locker room and certainly in the

1746
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 8: coaching staff.

1747
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 10: Yeah, tell me more about that leadership with Trevor Lawrence.

1748
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 10: Take the football stuff out of it. What do you

1749
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 10: see in that regard as for who he is is

1750
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 10: commanding troops so to speak? With the air quotes there, Well, you.

1751
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 8: Know, we have, as you guys do, there's a lot

1752
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 8: of former players around that do things for US analysts

1753
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 8: and such, and they always say, you know, leadership only

1754
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 8: goes as far as how good you are. You know,

1755
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 8: if you're if you're a bad player, you're probably not

1756
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 8: going to get listened to too much. So so Treveror

1757
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 8: he is playing pretty well right and he has the

1758
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 8: command of the offense, and the wide receivers loved him.

1759
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 8: The offensive line loves it. Heck, the defensive guys I

1760
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 8: think love him too, to ask Josh Allen about it.

1761
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 8: They know what he can be and they've seen it

1762
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 8: happen before, so that's one thing he can play. But

1763
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 8: he just has the pulse of that locker room and

1764
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 8: he has the ear of the coaching staff and that

1765
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 8: conversation too. The coaching staff with the quarterback is fantastic.

1766
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 8: And Trevor just kind of gets this whole environment around Jacksonville.

1767
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 8: He's a smaller town guy. He understands he's not a big,

1768
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 8: bright lights, big city persona and may not believe that

1769
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 8: on social media, but he's just he's just not. For example,

1770
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 8: like he kids it. Like after the win last week,

1771
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 8: he comes in on Monday and he and his wife

1772
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 8: buy the whole front office waffle house so jealous had

1773
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 8: it catered in. It's like why Well, because why not?

1774
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 8: Because they helped pack the stadium.

1775
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: We get it.

1776
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 8: And he came over and said, hid all the ticketing

1777
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 8: people and everything and it went back to work and

1778
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 8: did his thing. So he's perfect for this city. He's

1779
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 8: perfect for this organization. And if the play continues at

1780
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 8: this pace, I think he's gonna be great on the

1781
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 8: field as well.

1782
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, and the guys he's throwing to, it's kind of interesting.

1783
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 10: There's a different player leading the Jags in receptions, there's

1784
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 10: a different player leading him in yards receiving, and there's

1785
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 10: a different player leading him in touchdown catches. Texans had

1786
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 10: that same thing going last weekend. That's jiggled, but he's

1787
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 10: spreading the ball around. It looks like just externally, am

1788
01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 10: I right on? That is?

1789
01:19:58,720 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 8: I mean, what's the what are you seeing?

1790
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: Well?

1791
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 8: Zay Jones has been out of the line up a

1792
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 8: lot this year. He's had a knee injury and it's

1793
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,560
Speaker 8: missed a lot of time and that really changes the

1794
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 8: dynamic of the offense when he's in there. He was

1795
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 8: back last week, so that opened up Calvin Ridley on

1796
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 8: the other side. They couldn't really double him as much.

1797
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 8: So Ridley all of a sudden was running open and

1798
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 8: Trevor had time. The offensive line stood up tall and

1799
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 8: gave him time to push it down the field. It'd

1800
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 8: been really a horizontal feel early in the season. Yeah,

1801
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 8: short passes, get it out fast, don't get him hit,

1802
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:31,600
Speaker 8: you know, but last week was when they kind of

1803
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 8: turned it on. So it can be Christian Kirk if

1804
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 8: they need some catch and run ability in the middle.

1805
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 8: Evan Ingram having a fantastic season, even though he hasn't

1806
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 8: found the end zone yet. It's like the first tight

1807
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 8: end ever to have fifty plus catches and no touchdowns,

1808
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 8: Like it's crazy what he's doing. And then you've got

1809
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 8: Ridley of course. And then when Zay Jones is right,

1810
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 8: you got your complete arsenal. Don't forget about Travis Etn

1811
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 8: who can run effectively. They haven't been truly consistent in

1812
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 8: the running game overall as a team this year, but

1813
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 8: he and this guy that can turn it on in

1814
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 8: a moment's notice. So if Zay Jones is right coming

1815
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 8: off last week's game, which all indications are he felt

1816
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,560
Speaker 8: pretty good coming out of the game, Okay, this is

1817
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 8: the full arsenal, and you might get a different guy

1818
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 8: every single week, you might not have that fourteen hundred

1819
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:21,560
Speaker 8: yard one receiver with twelve touchdowns. They're gonna spread the

1820
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 8: wealth and they don't care, and they've said going into

1821
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 8: the year they won't care. You don't always buy that

1822
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 8: with receivers because you know how they are. But so far,

1823
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 8: so good, because they're winning and that's what everybody here

1824
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 8: wants to do.

1825
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 10: Talking with her good friend JP Shadwick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jp,

1826
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 10: you just touched on something there the run game in

1827
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 10: travesy tn Man. Every time, every time he touched the

1828
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 10: ball against the Texans, it seems like really really good

1829
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 10: things happen. And I don't know why he doesn't touch

1830
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 10: the ball more against Houston nelt on the whole. What

1831
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 10: do you make of this this Jaguars run game and

1832
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 10: where it's going, where it's been.

1833
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, Travis has really taken a step of the right

1834
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,600
Speaker 8: direction this year. Last year was his first year on

1835
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 8: the field. He had missed his whole rookie season with

1836
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 8: the list frank foot injury that he suffered in training

1837
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,560
Speaker 8: Camper in the preseason game, So last year was his

1838
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 8: first time out there and he was just getting blasted

1839
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 8: like he would he would give away where he was going.

1840
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 8: He wasn't squaring his shoulders. All of a sudden, he'd

1841
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 8: hit a hole and like head over heels every single

1842
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 8: time he got hit. It felt like Well this year,

1843
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 8: this offseason, he approached it a little differently. And Bernie Parmally,

1844
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 8: the running back coach, longtime NFL player, has a big

1845
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 8: key in this of the pre snap approach, like before

1846
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 8: you even get the football on your belly, like what

1847
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 8: are you doing to give away yourself or what are

1848
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 8: you doing to give yourself the best opportunity to see

1849
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 8: the whole field. So he's working on squaring his shoulders.

1850
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 8: He's done a great job of that all year. It

1851
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 8: opens up all windows in front of you. You can

1852
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:55,040
Speaker 8: see every hole that's there or not there, and you

1853
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 8: don't give away which way you're running if you can

1854
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 8: do that. So if you lean left, the defense is

1855
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 8: gonna go that way. So he's done a great job

1856
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 8: of that. He's running through the hole and not just

1857
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 8: to it, not kind of stuttering to the hole. So

1858
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 8: he's running with a little more authority this year and

1859
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 8: breaking tackles and that's the style I think they like.

1860
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,760
Speaker 8: And Travis has been great on that they're unblocking's fine.

1861
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 8: I mean they've got good blocking tight ends and they've

1862
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 8: got an offensive line that you know, and at key

1863
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 8: points can get after it. So that combined has been okay.

1864
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 8: I think as a whole they need some better production

1865
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 8: behind him, though, Tank Bigsby's put the ball in the

1866
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 8: deck a few times. The draft pick at Auburn they

1867
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 8: got to Ernest Johnson a few years into the league. Now,

1868
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 8: who's starting to step up. So that's that's the state

1869
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 8: of the run game.

1870
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 10: Hey, and over on the other side of the ball,

1871
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,560
Speaker 10: nobody in the NFL is getting more takeaways than the

1872
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 10: Jaguars defense. They got twenty so far, and they're, like

1873
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 10: I mentioned at the outset, tied with the Texans about

1874
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 10: ninth place. Turnover differential plus three on the year, but

1875
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 10: twenty takeaways. What's going on over there?

1876
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 8: Well, I mean they're just being opportunistic. I don't know

1877
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 8: if they're necessarily a great pace of getting to the

1878
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 8: quarterback and things. Josh Allen's had a good year, right,

1879
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 8: but they're getting their hands on the football. They've got

1880
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 8: good solid play. They were a good tackling group as

1881
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 8: a defense overall, and they're good against the run, really

1882
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 8: good against the run. And that's what they'll tell you.

1883
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 8: Their number one priority is stopped the run, set up

1884
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 8: the third and longer, and that's worked out for them.

1885
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 8: You know, that's really been the formula. They're not a

1886
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 8: superstar defense, but they are taking the ball away because

1887
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 8: of the down and distance and managing the game and

1888
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 8: that's what they do. That's really what it is. And

1889
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,680
Speaker 8: they spread the wealth there too. Now it's not like

1890
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 8: everybody somebody has like six or seven picks. I mean,

1891
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 8: you've got Cisco doing it, you got Fourier Luikin doing it.

1892
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 8: Devin Lloyd's had his hands on some footballs this year.

1893
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 8: He hasn't been able to bring in. They're getting some

1894
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,959
Speaker 8: force fumbles. I mean, it is full collective effort on defense.

1895
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 8: And I don't know if it's the no name defense.

1896
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 8: There are a couple of names you know here, but

1897
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 8: prettey darn close because they do spread it out so much.

1898
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 8: Is it true?

1899
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 10: I saw a tweet I think it was Week one,

1900
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 10: and is this true? When Cisco got that, you get

1901
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,680
Speaker 10: maybe a pick six or at least a pick. They

1902
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 10: played Cisco's the Thong song there at the stadium when

1903
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 10: that happened.

1904
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 8: Is that true. I'm in the studio. I don't know

1905
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 8: what goes on out there when I don't know, you know,

1906
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:29,600
Speaker 8: but you should be a DJ because you have the

1907
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,639
Speaker 8: mindset to think about songs like that. I could say,

1908
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 8: I'm just reading Twitter, dude, I'm not. I don't have

1909
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 8: the or whatever X it's called.

1910
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 10: But he brought the run defense. They were solid against

1911
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 10: the Texans the last time. The Texans the last two

1912
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 10: weeks about one hundred yards of the ground, and they've

1913
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 10: done so against I think leakier run defenses.

1914
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 8: You guys are not a leaky run defense.

1915
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 10: And I think it's gonna be fascinating because the Texans

1916
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 10: have had those two games that have been pretty solid.

1917
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 10: It's been with Devin Singletary because Damian Pierce has been

1918
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 10: on the bench. Looks like there's a really good chance

1919
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 10: Pierce's back because he practiced on a limited basis Friday.

1920
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 10: It made him an active Sunday, But all signs pointing

1921
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 10: to both backs being back. What do you make of

1922
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 10: that matchup? Because perhaps the Texans are getting better in

1923
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 10: the run, but you guys, as a defense, the Jaguars

1924
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 10: as a defense really really Stout.

1925
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 8: Starts up front for the Jaguars right fully fought of

1926
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 8: Cossi's healthy now. You know he missed a lot last year,

1927
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 8: but he's settled in now. He's playing really big Roy

1928
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 8: Robertson Harris big Stout can just set the edge and

1929
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 8: do things on the defensive line. He's fantastic this year.

1930
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 8: The question is Devon Hamilton. He's missed a lot of

1931
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 8: time the big nose tackle with a back injury in

1932
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 8: training camp and just hasn't been out. There was an

1933
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 8: act of a healthy scratch last week just to maybe

1934
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,600
Speaker 8: just sit him to the side and see if he

1935
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 8: can get a little stronger for the stretch run. You

1936
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 8: might see him back this week on the defensive line

1937
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 8: as well. Josh Allen's been good against the run. Trey

1938
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 8: Von Walker has been really good against the run. Big strong,

1939
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 8: physical guys. Those are five guys on the front line right,

1940
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden, the linebackers have time

1941
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:10,560
Speaker 8: to fly around. Foyle Lucan just seems to have stamina

1942
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 8: for the whole sixty minutes. I mean he is flying

1943
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 8: around in the fourth quarter with two minutes to go

1944
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 8: up by thirty as he is in the first quarter

1945
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 8: when it's nothing nothing, it's just what he does. And

1946
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 8: then Devin Lloyd is a year smarter and calmer, and

1947
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 8: he's always been a smart guy, but it's just it's

1948
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 8: taken a little time to slow the game down for him,

1949
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 8: and it's there, He's all over the place. And then

1950
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 8: the safeties aren't scared to come up and support either now,

1951
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 8: and they'll use some three safety looks sometimes. And Andrew

1952
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 8: Wingert in there as the third guy. He doesn't care.

1953
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 8: He'll come hit you. Rayshean Jenkins will come hit you

1954
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 8: and tell you about it. And then Cisco if he

1955
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 8: needs to, can come up and play too. So and

1956
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 8: the corners contribute. So it's a full team defensive effort

1957
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 8: against the rock. J. P.

1958
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 10: Shadick, you've been there twelve years. How much fun are

1959
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 10: you having right now? I mean with this team and

1960
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 10: with this squad and the energy that it has.

1961
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:12,760
Speaker 8: What's happened. I mean, this is what everybody's been waiting for.

1962
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 8: You know, this is what you've been building towards. This

1963
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 8: is why you cover the number one overall pick two

1964
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:22,879
Speaker 8: years in a row, and this is why you struggle

1965
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 8: with the fan base through you know, fourteen lost seasons

1966
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 8: and six head coaches in that timeframe, and you know,

1967
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 8: one and done coaches and not even one and done

1968
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 8: coaches thirteen games and done coaches, and all the misery

1969
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 8: that has come with that, getting blasted by the Texans

1970
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 8: all the time. I mean, that's that sucks. And now

1971
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 8: maybe they've turned the corner, right, that's the question. And

1972
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 8: they made the great epic run last season. We'll never

1973
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 8: see it something like that again. It was so unexpected

1974
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 8: and the way they had to come back every week.

1975
01:28:57,840 --> 01:28:59,600
Speaker 8: But now they've got the head coach in place, a

1976
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 8: quarter place, they've got playmakers, they've got defensive guys, they

1977
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 8: like they're playing well together. All right, let's uh, this

1978
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 8: is what it's supposed to feel like. This is a

1979
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 8: normal NFL football, right, This is what people. This is

1980
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 8: five hundred football, and the Jaguars have been far from

1981
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 8: five hundred, way below for a long time. It's a

1982
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 8: league built on parody for you know, nine and eight,

1983
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:27,679
Speaker 8: eight and nine in that ballpark. And if you're better

1984
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:29,839
Speaker 8: than that, great, If you're lower than that, you shouldn't

1985
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:31,720
Speaker 8: be that low. And James have been that low for

1986
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 8: a long time. They're in the hunt they're in the mix.

1987
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 8: The fans are always going to want more. It's how

1988
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 8: fans are. But I think you've got to remember where

1989
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 8: this team has come from. And yeah, it's a really

1990
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 8: good place to be right now here in Jacksonville.

1991
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 10: Well, I don't get to talk to you too much,

1992
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 10: but when I do, I always enjoy it. And I

1993
01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 10: am very, very happy that you're in such a good situation.

1994
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 10: The Jaguars are good.

1995
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:54,680
Speaker 7: Now.

1996
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:56,680
Speaker 8: We want to beat you guys on Sunday, but.

1997
01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 10: It's good to see you at the tip top of

1998
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 10: the division. And you're gonna be a Michigander for the

1999
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 10: next few days. JP's going to be calling the action

2000
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 10: of the Lions and the Packers. Packers at Lions Thanksgiving

2001
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 10: Morning on Westwood One Radio. So if you're driving around

2002
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 10: or you got the radio on in the backyard while

2003
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 10: you're playing a little turkey bowl, JP's gonna be calling

2004
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 10: the action with those deep pipes of his. And then

2005
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,600
Speaker 10: you're flipping around and you got the big game in

2006
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 10: ann Arbor, Ohio State and the Michigan Wolverines.

2007
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 8: It's gonna be a fun one.

2008
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 3: Are you are you ready?

2009
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 8: Have you been pacing yourself? It's a big double dip

2010
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 8: right there. Man, Yeah, we're getting ready. I mean it's

2011
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 8: gonna be filled all the way to the brim until

2012
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 8: the toe hits leather on Thursday on Thanksgiving and then

2013
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 8: turn it back around again the next day, and a

2014
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 8: have to get ready for the game. And yeah, it's

2015
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 8: a dream assignment, really is. I mean, the Jaguars are

2016
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,680
Speaker 8: the only team to never have played on Thanksgiving Day,

2017
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 8: by the way, so is that right? Is that right?

2018
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 8: I've never been able to cover a Thanksgiving game because

2019
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,600
Speaker 8: of that. They are the only team in.

2020
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 10: The NFL, So that's got it sometime soon, I would imagine, right, Well,

2021
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 10: if the.

2022
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 8: Only way it can change in theory in the past

2023
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:08,439
Speaker 8: has been if you play the Lions with the boys,

2024
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 8: but now you've got to be also be good. You

2025
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 8: can play on the prime time game if you're that good.

2026
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 8: They haven't been any of those, so that's why I

2027
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 8: have it. So Thanksgiving game. I mean, obviously it's just

2028
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 8: a massive audience and it's a traditional day in Detroit,

2029
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 8: and I'm so excited for the whole pregame, Turkey leg

2030
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 8: and everything that comes with that, and the Lions are relevant,

2031
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 8: and man, what a scene that should be Thursday, and

2032
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 8: then I mean for the second straight year, Ohio State

2033
01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 8: and Michigan both undefeated. I had that game last year

2034
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 8: too at the Horseshoe in Columbus, and now we get

2035
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,800
Speaker 8: to go to the big House. Jim Harbaugh. Stuff going on.

2036
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 8: I mean, this is I don't know if it's the

2037
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 8: mother of all Michigan Ohio State games, because there was

2038
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 8: a one versus two back in the mid two thousands, right,

2039
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 8: pretty darn close. This is this play. They might tear

2040
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:56,720
Speaker 8: the place down.

2041
01:31:57,120 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 10: Now you're a professional and you're gonna call the action

2042
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:00,680
Speaker 10: and you're gonna do a great job of it. You're

2043
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:02,560
Speaker 10: going to be focused and everything. But do you have like,

2044
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 10: is there a liver of your brain that gets to

2045
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 10: soak it in as well and realize like, oh my gosh,

2046
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 10: this is what I've dreamed about doing for so long,

2047
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,840
Speaker 10: And do you get to kind of bathe in a

2048
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 10: little bit of of of the just the awesomeness that

2049
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 10: you're experiencing.

2050
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 8: Well, I mean yeah, but up to a certain point.

2051
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 8: I mean, once the once the ball is on the tee,

2052
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 8: you better put that out of your mind because the

2053
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 8: football comes fast and furious. Uh, you know, walking around

2054
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 8: the stadium beforehand and you're thinking about it and yeah,

2055
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 8: you know, yeah, it's I get it, man, It's I'm

2056
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 8: very fortunate to be doing what I'm doing. There's no

2057
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:44,640
Speaker 8: doubt about that. I Mean, everybody always talks about, you know,

2058
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 8: a get to job, and this is a get to job,

2059
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 8: not a got to I mean, this is keasy kidding me.

2060
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,920

01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,439
Speaker 10: at the Lions. Very good Texans team. They won that game.

2068
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 10: It was an overtime game. They finished that when the

2069
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,680
