1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Happy new Year, Welcome to the show. Yes,

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: we are in studio today, the Hyundai Texans Radio Studio.

Speaker 2: Happy new Year.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: It's January first of twenty twenty six. I'm still running

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five on my checks, just kidding. Nobody has

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: checks anymore. But I've been labeling things today and getting

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: used to twenty six. And here we are. It's a

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: new year for the Texans in that Yes, the season

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: continues from twenty twenty five, with the regular season finale

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But come on, this is it. You're heading

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: into the postseason next week. It is gonna be awesome.

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: John McClain joins us tonight. So let's get right to

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: it here. General, as the Texans are in they'll face

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: the Colts Sunday.

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: Let me start right here. How should they? How will they?

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the handling of this one

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: with the hope that the Jags lose to the Titans

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: somehow your thoughts?

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, Happy new.

20
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: Year to you guys. And by the way, when you

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: write me that check, feel free to put two twenty

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: five want it? I think that somebody will be keeping

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: a close eye of Jacksonville game, Jaguars ought to kill

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 3: the Titans, and nobody will ever say this, but right now,

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: Texans should win. Jaguars should win, so the Texans be

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: the top seed, and the way it's stacking up, they'd

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: be going to Baltimore, and they never want in Baltimore

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: to this year. As you guys know, Mark Jackson, Lamar

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: Jackson didn't play plus five of their defensive starters and

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: it was a forty four to ten blowout. Now Lamar

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 3: is supposed to be I don't know if he'll be

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. He's been hurt most of the year healthy,

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: they have four of those guys back. So if I'm

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: a Texans fan, I want the Steelers to win and

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: go against forty two year old Aaron Rodgers and a

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: team that has been struggling lately to score points. But

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: I think if Jacksonville's leading, like say, thirty to thirty

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: to nothing at the half or whatever, then Dimiko will

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: probably play some backups. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't

40
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: play them anyway, for the guys who were banged up,

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: say like Kamari Lassiter and players like that, and he's

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: got Riley Leonard, and I'm sure. You know Riley Leonard

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: is gonna try to get build the ball in one

44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: second to avoid the pass rush. And if the Texans

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: have to play some backups, you know they're backup in

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: the defensive line have done a good job. Backup linebackers

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: have done a good job. Back up receivers. They've got

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: a lot of guys that have gotten playing time. And

49
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 3: then if we talked the other day, the unsung hero's

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: backup quarterback Davis Mills, who went three and zero while CJ.

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: Stride was out with a concussion. So I think Texan's

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: gonna win this game either way. The team. I would

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: like to see him play in the playoffs. I'd like

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: to see him play Jacksonville again. It's somehow, some way

55
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 3: after beating him here with that great comeback, and could

56
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: have beat him early in the season. They had three

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: turnovers in the Jaguars red zone in the fourth quarter.

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: But it'd be kind of like to establish who's the

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: best in the AFC South.

60
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: General, I want to talk to you about the team

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: the Texans will face on Sunday, and it's the Indianapolis Colts,

62
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: and it's a season that started with such promise. Now

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: we talked about it a lot. Look, they're winning games

64
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: and beating anybody. Really, they did beat Denver like okay,

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: but they had to have a second crack in the

66
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: field at the end. There were starting we were starting

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: season cracks in the arm a little bit, and then

68
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: the biggest crack was in the fibula of Daniel Jones.

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: Then he tore his achilles, and then it really all

70
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: went to you know what Their plan then was to

71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: go get Philip Rivers at quarterback to bring him out

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: of retire. It's the best plan they could come up with.

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: What do you think happens this offseason? We don't. It's

74
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: not Jim Mersey anymore. It's carl Ersaid Gordon who's calling

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: the shots. What do you think happens with Chris Ballad?

76
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: What do you think happens with Shane Steike in this

77
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: off season for the Innneapolis Colts after starting seven to one,

78
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: eight and two and not even making the playoffs.

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: I read a deep dive on the Gults and Carli

80
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: Ersa Johnson, who has been heavily involved in every facet

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: of the organization since she got out of college. She's

82
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: been wearing headphones for years at games It just started

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: getting attention this year and she was in media, she

84
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: was in special advance, she's in personnel. I like that

85
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: and so, but we don't know how she's going to operate.

86
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: Will it be like her dad? Will it be different

87
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: from her dad? The story says she really likes Chris Ballard,

88
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: respects him. But in Chris is nine years, they've won

89
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: one playoff game and you guys witnessed it as I did,

90
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: And so people are assuming you'll be back, assuming shame

91
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: Stikeen will be back. The problem is what are you

92
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: going to pay Daniel Jones because he's coming off he

93
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: had a fractured fibula then the torn achilles. Good chance

94
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: he won't be ready for the start of the season.

95
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: But do they sign him a one year make it deal?

96
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: Nobody else is going to give him a big contract.

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: You know.

98
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: What do they do with Anthony Richards? And I think

99
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: it's interesting, you know he is he was one hundred

100
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: percent participation in practice this week is window open, the

101
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: three week window they can put him on back to

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: active roster and play him against the Texans. Instead, they're

103
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: going with rookie Riley Leonard, who I think has made

104
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: four appearances this season. So they've got everything you need

105
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: on offense. They've got receivers, good offensive line, great running back,

106
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: and defensively, I don't think they're as good as they

107
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: want to be. Most of then what they would do

108
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: would be on defense. But you know, there may be

109
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback they like, but is she fires Ballard

110
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: that would be a huge upset because he's been there

111
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: so long, and then they'd have to go fill that position.

112
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: They have a guy at Dodge who's his assistant, who's

113
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: gotten interviews with other teams and is very highly respected,

114
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: so would they elevate him? So a lot of questions

115
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 3: about them, And the truth is they were starting to

116
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: struggle before Daniel Jones had any injury because teams that

117
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: started focusing on Taylor stopped contain Taylor and then let

118
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: Shones beat you and he couldn't do it. And the

119
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: Texans were a great example of that.

120
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: John, let's backtrack here.

121
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: I want to get back to the playoff possibilities and

122
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, you'd rather see Jacksonville than Baltimore on

123
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: the road, But what if it's Pittsburgh or New England

124
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: and anybody else in that equation? I missed Jacksonville. We

125
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: talked because it's just Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, New England, because you

126
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't play Denver. Let's assume they're the one seed. So

127
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: among those three, would it still be Jacksonville. If Pittsburgh

128
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: is able to beat Baltimore on Sunday Night football, no.

129
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: I'd rather stand played Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has had a trouble scoring.

130
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: Their wide receivers caught eight passes Sunday and they lost

131
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: their tidy end Washington, and so they got big time

132
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: injuries on skill positions or offensive lines, nothing special, and

133
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: so I think the Steelers would be the most beatable team.

134
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter where they're playing them. They prove

135
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: they can play in cole weather like Kansas City, they

136
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: can play on long road trips. Texans have looked really

137
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: good during this winning streak defensively in special teams no

138
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: matter where they've been, and the offense is at its games.

139
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: The key is can they store twenty All they got

140
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: to do is score twenty thinking points and they win.

141
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: They're ten to zero with twenty points and they give

142
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: up sixteen, so they win by four. Twenty points is

143
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: not too much to ask and so I think they

144
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: can score twenty on the Steelers. And even though they

145
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: won in New England last year, and it'd be a

146
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 3: great story with Mike Brabel and Drake May who played

147
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: well against him last year through touchdown passes and interceptions,

148
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: I still think i'd rather see a player in Rogers

149
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: and the Steelers.

150
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, General, I'm gonna give you some options. Mark, you

151
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: chime in as well. I'm gonna give you options for

152
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year in the NFL. Mike Vrabel turned

153
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: that thing around in New England, Ben Johnson turned it

154
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 2: around in Chicago. Mike McDonald I think needs a lot

155
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: of credit for what he's done in Seattle. Kyle Shanahan

156
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: with the forty nine Ers, They've had all kinds of

157
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: guys injured, yet they're playing to be the one seed

158
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: over in the NFC to meek O Ryans Houston Texans

159
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: after our own three start eleven and two sins or

160
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: oh and Sean Payton with the Denver Broncos who got

161
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: them to the playoffs last year but now could be the

162
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: one seed in AFC. Who would be John mcclean's NFL

163
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year for twenty twenty five.

164
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think Jamiko deserves a lot of credit for

165
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: what he's done. It is staff based on where they

166
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: were after that oh and three start. I know, I

167
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 3: thought they weren't even gonna make the playoffs, much less

168
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: win to win to win twelve games, and I picked

169
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: them eleven and six, and I'm like geez to idio

170
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: and I there's no way they're winning ten much less eleven.

171
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: But and Mike McDonald's done a great job. But he

172
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 3: was ten and seven last year, and Shanahan is not

173
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: just Bosa and Warner being out for the year. They

174
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: made decisions in the offseason because of their salary camp,

175
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: they had to cut several of their to really good players,

176
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: and they haven't skipped a beat. And then Perdy missed

177
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: six games. Remember when they came in here and the

178
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: Texans beat him up, pro real good people were talking

179
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 3: about man they played Mac Jones, Mac Jones is playing

180
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: better than Rock Party. And then when perty came back,

181
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: it showed calmly what he's talking about. And I'm always

182
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: partial to Kyle Shanahan and all those former Texans who

183
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 3: were on his staff, but of all the really good

184
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: coaching jobs, he's done. This one is great. I was

185
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: communicating with the Kubiaks and think of the position they're

186
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 3: in Monday Night. One Son's the offensive course coordinator the

187
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: forty nine ers. One is the coordinator in the Seahawks.

188
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

189
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: So, wow, can't they can't? I told Ronda, well, you

190
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: can't win or you can't lose, maybe there'll be a tie.

191
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: And uh so I think that that is such an

192
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: interesting situation. People think both of them are going to

193
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: be a head coach Clint first and uh uh, but

194
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm going with Kyle Shanahan.

195
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Wow, Kyle Shan's my pick. That's my pick coach

196
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: of the year. Yeah, exactly Earlier, you guys are both wrong,

197
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: very wrong about this. Okay, first of all, it's either

198
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 2: Liam Kohane or Ben Johnson. Liam Cohne, I didn't mention

199
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: as much of a.

200
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: Great job as Demiko's done here. You still have your

201
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for all but three and a half of

202
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: those games, and you have an outstanding defense, which he

203
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: deserves credit for. I mean, it's not like any of

204
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: these guys have done a bad job, right, They've all

205
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: done a tremendous job and Shanahan has two. However, I

206
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: am going to go with Ben Johnson because he's got

207
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: the second year quarterback who is very if he after

208
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: last year they won fewer games than they did with

209
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: justin Fields and you're wondering where's this all going, And

210
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: he's got them going in a great direction, winning a

211
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: division that no one gave him a shot to win.

212
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say no one.

213
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody did, but that's how I feel about that situation.

214
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: That division is not anywhere near as good as the

215
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: NFC West, and his when he got there, that talent

216
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: on offense was loaded Ryan Bowles, a GM had given

217
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: him a really good line. Then he added Joe Looney,

218
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: which meant you were guaranteed to win the division because

219
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: he's never played. When he didn't, they added to the

220
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: skill positions to running backs. Basically, it's a copy of

221
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: what the Lions are doing. And he has done a

222
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: fabulous job. And his quarterback was drafted first overall. And

223
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: where was Shanahan's quarterback drafted?

224
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, mister irrelevant, I got you last pick of the draft, baby,

225
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: I got you. However, the worst team in the NFC

226
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: North is eight and eight and it's a tie between

227
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Lions. This is a good division,

228
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: none of us, said Mike Vrabel, which is well, he

229
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit to he deserves a lot

230
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: of credit, and you're right, he's in that mix, and

231
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: he might get it because he's so popular. But I

232
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: really think Ben Johnson's done the great job. One other

233
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: note about the NFC West. Yes, it's an outstanding division.

234
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are so terrible. Everybody gets two free wins

235
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: against them in that division, so it really helps. That's

236
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: a week week team like the Titans in the AFC South,

237
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: where you go fatten your record against them. John Any

238
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: shot that the Titans can pull off the upset this weekend,

239
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, give me some hope here. Can they do

240
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: it on the road against Jacksonville? Could Jacksonville cough up

241
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: this big ball?

242
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: Four and a half examples of what we've seen teams that

243
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: had absolutely nothing to play for did it pulled off upsets.

244
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: But their talent level is so bad. It's not like

245
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: they've had a lot of injuries to good players. But

246
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: remember three years ago Jacksonville beached Tennessee, which was out

247
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: of the playoffs. They win the AFC South. The Texans

248
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: were a wildcard, So they play the Titans and they

249
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: get beat. One of the best coaching jobs Rabel ever done.

250
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: And so the Texans won the division and the Jaguars

251
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: were a wildcard.

252
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: General with Tennessee, I'm not gonna tell I'm not gonna

253
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: have you tell me who you think might be. If

254
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: you have a name, that's great, but I don't want

255
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: to put you on the spot, like, Hey, what name?

256
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: Do you think it's a defensive minded coach? Do you

257
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: think it's an offensive minded coach? Do you think it's

258
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: a big splash name coach that takes over in Tennessee

259
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: for the Titans going forward? Who do you think as

260
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: a head coach?

261
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I want to add another option, Is it a coach

262
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna get fired, like maybe, for example, a Kevin Stefanski.

263
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna but if he did recently.

264
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: Fired, concently fired coach who has some experience and has

265
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: had some success.

266
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: I think they won an offensive coach for cam Ward.

267
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: They're gonna try to load up their offense the way

268
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: the Bears did for Caleb Williams Uh the the vice

269
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: the executive vice president of football ops Chad Brinker, who

270
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: has final say over the GM. Mike Bergonzie spent a

271
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 3: long time in Green Bay, and there's a lot of

272
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: talk about Mike McCarthy and then uh, Mike mcgonzie. The

273
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: GM came from Kansas City, spent a long time with

274
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: Matt Nagy. Matt Nagy's name has been thrown around there.

275
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: A lot of the media wants Arthur Smith, but he

276
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: hadn't done anything to distinguish himself with the Steelers, and

277
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: I think a guy like Clinton Kubiak will get an

278
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: interview with them. The best candidates, people say, are defensive coaches.

279
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what, if Kevin Stefanski has fired

280
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: Monday night, he'll have a job Tuesday morning if he

281
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: wants it, I mean Sunday night. Then if he's fired

282
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: in the morning, he'll have a job by lunch if

283
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: he wants it. He could do like Vrabel did with him,

284
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: go spend a season with the Patriots and then take

285
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 3: a job. But Stefanski's a two time Coach of the

286
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: Year and the media doesn't want to get fired up there.

287
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: They say it's not his fault that they did. That

288
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: deal for Watson would set the franchise back and is

289
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: out tweeted the last two weeks and I'm gonna do

290
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: it again. Andrew Berry, the GM of the Browns, deserves

291
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: some Executive the Year mentions because of the way he's

292
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: helped the Texans rebuild.

293
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: Because he drafted chadur and they're winning with him now.

294
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: In general, I'm gonna throw a team at you, and

295
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: you tell me if they're definitely looking for a quarterback

296
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: in the off season or maybe looking for a quarterback

297
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: of the off season, You're ready to go. Let's roll

298
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: the Browns. Are they definitely looking for a quarterback of

299
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: the off season?

300
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: They're definitely looking for a quarterback in the off season.

301
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: They got two number one pigs that they You know,

302
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: people are talking about some bad draft for quarterbacks. When

303
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: we start going to senior ball and the pro and

304
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: the Pro Days and the combine and the private workouts,

305
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: there's going to be two or three more quarterbacks who

306
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 3: are going to be first round picks. And they're talking

307
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: about Dante Moore Oregon and Ty Simpson of Alabama. They've

308
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: both been one year starters. They need to go back

309
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: to school and get some more experience. But if may

310
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if Dante More came out, they say he'd

311
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: be second to Fernando Mendoza. And I just I think

312
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: that the Titans. I think the Titans are going to

313
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: go with an offensive coach and they're going to load

314
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: up their offense and try to duplicate what has happened

315
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 3: with the Bears. And don't know if they will, of course,

316
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: because they don't have a lot of talent right now.

317
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: Because if you look at their picks, there was four

318
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: in a row, number one picks that former GM John

319
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: Robinson did not hit on. And they've let their Henry

320
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: go at thirty because they thought he was done at thirty.

321
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: Look how bad that is. They made a bunch of

322
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: bad decisions up there when it comes to personnel.

323
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Does Rogers retire after this? Are the Steelers definitely in

324
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback market? Rogers was asked about Will Howard said

325
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: glowing things. I don't know how they really feel about

326
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: Will Howard? Who knows? But what are your thoughts on

327
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the offseason? And look, a lot of

328
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: stuff is still in play here. They could win the

329
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: AFC North, they could win playoff games, they could go

330
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: all the way, they could flame out spectacularly Sunday night.

331
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: I don't know, what do you think.

332
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 3: I think first of all asks to be that Mike

333
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: Tomlin has to be back, and he's gonna want Aaron

334
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: Rodgers back because he's better than what they have. But

335
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: they need somebody develop behind him, you know, maybe one

336
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 3: more year and if Tomlin's another one, and then Arbaugh,

337
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 3: John Arbaugh, those guys were surprised firings. They get jobs

338
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: so quick, and I think Rogers is back in another year.

339
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got hot take here, Johnny, you rd it

340
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: and general you tell me if this is true?

341
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: Now it's not mine.

342
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: Somebody tweeted this last night after arch Manning what he

343
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: did in the bowl game, which was good, right, arch

344
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: finished pretty strong here, had a nice finish, definitely a

345
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: lot better than he was playing earlier in the season.

346
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: They said, it's good that he's going back to Texas.

347
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: It's good because he's got to continue to play and

348
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: develop and who knows where it all goes. But if

349
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: he was coming out, he might still be the number

350
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: one overall pick because he's arch Manning.

351
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: That's correct. How hot is that? That? That's one that's

352
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: not too hot? In general? You think that's true. You

353
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: think Arch would be the number one pick if he

354
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: came out.

355
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: I think he would be Wow, because it's I and

356
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 3: Mendoza and he's going to be even better. He played

357
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: a great game. I mean he looked good. He hadn't

358
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: run like that since he's in Newman High School in Louisiana.

359
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: And he'll be the favorite for the Heisman, which he

360
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 3: was this year, and the Long Orange will be favored

361
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: probably at least get to the CFF, maybe the National Championship.

362
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: But he did a great job. And when he comes out,

363
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 3: you think of next year the quarterbacks. What if Dante

364
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: More and ty Simpson go back to school, you would

365
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: have them, You would have Julians saying as a junior,

366
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: it just might be one of the best quarterback draft

367
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: classes ever led by Arts.

368
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely general is the loser of Raven Steelers at risk

369
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: of losing a job.

370
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be something those guys have been to get

371
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: longest tenure in the NFL. Neither owner has a proclivity

372
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: for changing coaches, so I'm gonna say both are going

373
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: to be back. It seems stupid to me. If Lamar

374
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 3: Jackson had been healthy all year, what would their record be.

375
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 3: It seems stupid that people say Zach Taylor could be fired.

376
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: Look at what they've done since Joe Burrow came back.

377
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: They have a winning record to me, unless you get

378
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: a Davis and kudos again and Nick Casario for extending

379
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: him through next season. I hope he's extend him again.

380
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: I would say Harball's got the best chance of staying,

381
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: but could be Mike Domaldin's just tired. He's tired of

382
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 3: going through all that up there and not having a

383
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: quarterback since Big.

384
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: Ben is Todd Bowles gone in Tampa. If they don't

385
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: win the division, maybe even if they do, I don't know.

386
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: I must say yes, you know, it's a really weird

387
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: deal that Atlanta's victory. If Atlanta wins Sunday, no matter

388
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: what happens, I think Carolina wins the division yep, because

389
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: they all have losing records, but Carolina owns the tiebreaker.

390
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

391
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: Adding never, that's strange.

392
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: That's weird.

393
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: A year from now, are we looking at the Chiefs

394
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: back in the playoffs.

395
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 3: I'm going to say yes. People say, oh, they need lineman.

396
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: They lost five tackles. I think their offensive line done.

397
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 3: They still need a running back, might need a tight end.

398
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: We don't know those young wide receivers. We'll have another year.

399
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: I experience things, stay out of trouble. Defense has still

400
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: got Steve Spagnola, one of the greatest ever. So I'm saying, yes.

401
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: Uh, let me know when Patrick Mahomes rehab is complete,

402
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 2: because if his rehab is not complete until mid season,

403
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: mid season, I'm gonna say no. They general kind of

404
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 2: laying out what they need. They might need a quarterback.

405
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: It's an acl they come back in a few yes, fine,

406
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: rab some third on it.

407
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: Like do like Adrian Peterson and come back in six months,

408
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 3: eight months, whatever, that's the most.

409
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: They better find some people to protect him. I know that. Yeah,

410
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: spend your money wisely, Brettviach.

411
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: General, It's it's January, as the calendar tells us, So

412
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: that means the premiere of your documentary, Oh this month?

00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,960

Speaker 3: It's gonna be on January thirtieth. It's going to be

00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: available to the public on February first, which is the

416
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 3: start of Black History Month. And I've been tweeting a

417
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 3: lot of things about it, and we'll continue to do it.

418

Speaker 3: We're going to have a huge premiere with a lot

419
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 3: of media, a lot of people who are in the documentary,

00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: A lot of former players want to come, so we're

421
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: really excited about it. Hey, Mark Burns our director, as

422
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: our producers, God Nethery and Rob Lanz. Those guys have

423
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: done an incredible job over fifty hours of tape. They

424
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: had to go through Mark and Joe Holly, a former

425
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 3: Chronicle columnist who is the writer. And Fred McClure, longtime

426
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: administrator at A and M. He's the voice of God.

427
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: Sounds like James Earl Jones, he's the narrator. So we're

428
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: almost ready to go, and I am pumped, and thank

429
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: you guys for asking.

430
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: All right, General, thanks so much for being on. We

431
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: appreciate it.

432

Speaker 1: Happy to year. We look forward to catch it on

Speaker 1: Monday morning. Sounds good, that's the General. John mcclan coming

434
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: up a bunch of questions for Johnny Harris. Who's better

435
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: is and more likely is to happen those kinds of things?

436
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: Is that the proper plural of that. Yes, I'm gonna

437
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: go with it right now and in the second hour

438
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: of the program tonight, because we have two because there's

439
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: no Thursday night football, we have the New Audibles Podcast

440
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: Highlights with Jalen Petree, Derek Stingley Junior, and E. J.

441
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: Speed.

442
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, It's Texans Radio. We continue with the show,

443
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermin and John Harris here in the Hyunday Texans

444
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: Radio studio, and it's time to play the game that.

445
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what to call this one because we

446
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: have more likely to happen. Who's better questions for Johnny?

447
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a hybrid. It's gonna be the

448
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: leftovers from New Year's Eve. We're gonna mix them in

449
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: a big pot and ask you some questions. Johnny, and

450
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: I know you're ready for this one. Yes, question, Mooya base? Okay,

451
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: who who's better? Better postseason run coming up? The Bears

452
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: or the Jags. You have to look at this objectively.

453
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: We don't want to see the Jags do well because

454
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: they're in the AFC and we might face them.

455
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: But just zooming out, what would you say here? Bears?

456
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: Are Jags better postseason run? The AFC seems more wide open.

457
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: I guess I say that hesitantly. What are your thoughts?

458
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Jags. I know not a

459
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: ton of returning Jags from twenty twenty two, but Trevor

460
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: Travis etn Foyer, Lukun the two pass rushers. They've got

461
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: enough key guys that went through that run in twenty

462
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: twenty two. The Bears pretty much have a bunch of

463
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: newbies to the playoffs, and I'm convinced that you need

464
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of experience that's been there, that's seen it,

465
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 2: that's done it, to get you along in the playoff.

466
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with the Jacks. I hate to

467
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: say it, I wouldn't mind going down there in the

468
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: first round if we got to go on the road

469
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: to play them, just playing a vision upon it. We've

470
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: done it before, and I think it worked for the Colts.

471
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: They had seen us before, they weren't intimidated by us,

472
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: and they went out and played a great ball game

473
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 2: and beat us here in twenty eighteen. I think it's

474
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: the same with the Jags and Texans. They both know

475
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: each other very very well. I think it would have

476
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: been interesting had CJ played in that game. You know,

477
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: maybe there's some things we do differently because we have

478
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: CJ versus even Davis. So in that case, I would

479
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: watch jacksonvill do it. But if we don't have to

480
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: play Jacksonville right away, I wouldn't mind seeing him down

481
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: the road NAFCY Championship game.

482
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: If the season ended today, the Bears would play the

483
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: Packers at Soldier Field wild Card weekend. I don't know

484
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: if I like that one so much. I don't like

485
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: that for the Bears. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The

486
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: Packers are more experienced. I know they have new guys

487
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: as well, but I'm just talking about Jordan Love is

488
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: played in the playoffs and he's good to go. But

489
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: they're not gonna play on this weekend obviously.

490
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: So you know who's playing. Former U of H quarterback

491
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 2: star Clayton Tune playing for the Packers this weekend. Who's house?

492
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: Kook's house.

493
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: That's right, Clayton Tune's gonna go for the Packers. That's

494
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: very cool stuff. But the Bears at home against the Packers,

495
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. But I don't know if I would

496
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: again objectively take the Texans out of it. I don't

497
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: know if I trust the Jaguars as well. They make

498
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: me nervous.

499
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: That's why you put two of them together, because they

500
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: are two teams, one inexperienced, one I don't know if

501
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: you completely and totally trust they are hot. Yeah, they

502
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: are hot. There's no doubt about that. We're the only

503
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 2: team hotter than the Jaguars right now.

504
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: But objectively, I think this is why the Texans are

505
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: getting a lot of love here, because when you look

506
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: at the AFC, who do you trust? You don't trust

507
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Denver and they're gonna get the bye if they're the

508
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: top seed. They should be able to get the top seed,

509
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: you would think, because all they have to do is

510
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: beat the Chargers and they're sitting guys right, So you're

511
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: looking at Trey Lance and company in that game. Now,

512
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you trust them, you know, I trust Mike vrabel,

513
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: I guess, but they have a lot of young players

514
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: in that situation for the first time.

515
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 2: Trake May's first playoff game.

516
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: Playing at home is good. But so we mentioned the Jags,

517
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: now Steelers, Ravens. You're talking about salty veterans here, laying

518
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: at home the winner of that one on wild Card weekend.

519
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: And that's why this fifth seed kind of makes me

520
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: a little shaky as well. But I think the Texans

521
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: get a lot of love because people look at the

522
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: defense and it looks otherworldly compared to these other defenses,

523
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, well, they can just stop anybody, or

524
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: at least slow them down enough where if you score

525
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: the general said, you score twenty, you win, And I

526
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: know it's not that easy, but it feels like it sometimes.

527
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: Well you said it when you get to the playoffs.

528
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: So you get to talking about the playoffs, you want

529
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: to know what in who you could trust? Yep, what

530
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 2: in who can you trust me? In the circle of trust?

531
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: The Texans defense? Yeah, that you know, that group shows up,

532
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: they're in there that you know.

533
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that feels like it's a given that they're gonna

534
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: it's not a shutout, but they're gonna slow you down.

535
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna hold you below seventeen in all likelihood, even

536
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: in your building, and you'll get a good shot to win.

537
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: All right, Next one, let's zoom forward to twenty twenty six.

538
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, it is twenty twenty six, but the

539
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: next season that is, And who's the better team next year?

540
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: The Saints who are piping hot right now Johnny with

541
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck or the Washington Commanders who had a very

542
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: down year and Jadeen Daniels got hurt and where's it

543
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: all going from here? And who knows what happens in

544
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: the offseason with the staff, right?

545
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I mean I would imagine both staffs stay

546
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: as is. Tyler Shuck has done a really nice job

547
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: for the Saints, and you could see momentum starting to build.

548
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: The Saints are a little bit younger than Washington. Now

549
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: the ceiling isn't as high for Shuck as it is

550
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: for Jaydon Daniels. But does Jadon Daniels get back to

551
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 2: that rookie year level that he was playing? And you know,

552
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: Laramie's another year older. Deebo is now in his thirties.

553
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: They've got some veterans, you know, Bobby Wagner linebacker. You know,

554
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: he has got some rings around the tree. I just

555
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: think Washington gets older very quickly. Their star players are

556
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: now in their you know, lower to mid thirties. That

557
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: doesn't that scares me a little bit if I'm Washington.

558
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: Nor Land's players other than the Mario Davis for the

559
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: most part, Cameron, Cameron Jordan, they're relatively younger players. So

560
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: you know, Chase Young has been great, Justin Reid was

561
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: great for them, and then obviously Shuck, Chris Olave. You know,

562
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: the offensive line they've kind of figured out. Kelvin Banks.

563
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: I feel like I want to say the Saints to

564
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: me have more potential just because they're a little bit younger,

565
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: and I think they can write this. And you know what,

566
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: I think Kellen Moore is a hell of a coach.

567
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna think. Kellen Moore's a hell

568
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: of a coach. They might have found that one. And

569
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: you know what, Look, I don't know what is going

570
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: to happen with coach Schottenheimer and Dallas in the long

571
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: term here, but Dallas might look back on this Kellen

572
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: Moore leaving the Bill Building thing and say, maybe that

573
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: wasn't the best guy to have leave the building and

574
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia.

575
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: And now he's in New Orleans doing what he's doing.

576
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: Maybe this was a miss for us.

577
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: Now, who knows, this is a late season surge, But

578
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: if you're a Saints fan, it's really good to see

579
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback playing well under a rookie coach and

580
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: you're upsetting some people down the stretch and it really

581
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: is fascinating stuff from a Saints fan perspective. All Right,

582
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: that was a next year question. I'll give you another one.

583
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: Who's better next year? The Cleveland Browns or the Tennessee

584
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: Titans who reside in the AFC South, of course, and

585
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: we'll have a new head coach and cam Ward in

586
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: his second year, and the Browns will have I don't

587
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: know who at quarterback. Maybe Schautuur, does Watson come back?

588
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Probably not. Maybe Stefanski's back, maybe he's not. What are

589
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: they gonna do? Who's better next year? Titans or Browns?

590
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because we know the Titans needed a

591
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: new head coach. We know that. Are the Browns gonna

592
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: do something dumb and get rid of Kevin Stefanski and

593
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: then they need a new head coach? I think that's

594
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: the difference. If they end up with Stefanski, that defense

595
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: is outstanding, and I think they'll eventually get a quarterback

596
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: that will fit for that offense for Stefanski and they're

597
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: going to be a problem. This draft class for the

598
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: Browns was tremendous. If they stay with Stefanski, draft another

599
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: draft class and they got extra picks, They've got the

600
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: picks from the Travis Hunter deal, They're going to be young, hungry,

601
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: and really athletic and Miles Garrett still has He's still

602
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: got some left in the tank. So you're talking about

603
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: defense that's still going to be really good. Now the

604
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: offense gets a few more pieces. I think the Browns

605
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: get there, get there faster than the Titans. And I

606
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: hope that's the case too. I hope that's the case.

607
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 2: Even though we got face the Browns this year, I

608
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: hope that's the case.

609
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: We do have to face the Browns in Cleveland, and

610
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: for those who want to know, the Texans will go

611
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: to Washington, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and TBD in the NFC North.

612
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, babe, how does it set up right now? Green Bay?

613
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: Green Bay? As it stands, if we finished second, green

614
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: Bay will finish second. We'll go to Green Bay.

615
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: And if you finish first, you're going to Chicago. So

616
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: either way you're outside so Chicago or Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Philly, Washington, Burgh.

617
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: Get this. You'll face Buffalo at home though if you

618
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: finish second, because you'll match up. We'll match up second,

619
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 2: you'll match up second place. But they're coming here though,

620
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: right Buffalo comes. I don't know how. I can't remember

621
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: how that one goes. I think they have to come here.

622
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: What a gift to play the ball. I'm telling you

623
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: right now, those fans when you mentioned Buffalo Bill's coming

624
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: to NRG Stadium, there is instant Milwaukee I do not

625
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: want to go there. I do like that, Yeah, I

626
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: do like that about them. All right, let's get to

627
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: the next one.

628
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: All right, better quarterback from twenty sixth on. Okay, so

629
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: not this postseason, but the following season on in their career.

630
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Who's better Caleb Williams or Jaden Daniels, And I'll throw

631
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: in Drake May as well.

632
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 2: Who's gonna be the best quarterback? You might say? May? Oh?

633
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: So Ansel the first one first, assuming that May shouldn't

634
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: figure in there somehow in the initial round. But I'm

635
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna go Williams versus Daniels. And again, Daniels was so

636
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: good last year, but what happened this year? It wasn't

637
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: going great before he went out, and then Williams he

638
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: took a quantum leap forward as his team won the division.

639
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: They're both excited to watch. I don't know, you tell

640
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: me of.

641
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: Those three, I'd take Drake May one of the reasons

642
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: I just seen him. I have seen him play quarterback

643
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: at a higher level. What I've seen from the other two, well,

644
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: this year it's really hard. But Jane Daniels you never saw.

645
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: He took a lot of hits, he threw some just

646
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: bad balls and just wasn't healthy all year, and he

647
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: played recklessly when he ran the ball. Drake May play smart.

648
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: He makes every throat imaginable, and I don't think that

649
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: Caleb has matched that. Now. What Caleb does is Caleb can.

650
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: Caleb has plays in a game that are a ten

651
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: and You're like, oh my god, nobody can do that.

652
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: But Caleb mainly plays at like a seven or seven

653
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: and a half. Okay, Drake is playing at an eight

654
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: and a half nine all the time. And Drake is

655
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 2: still doing some high level things, don't get me wrong,

656
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: but he is consistently at an eight and a half nine.

657
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: And I trust Josh McDaniels as an offense coordinator, play

658
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: caller to help his quarterback as he has this year,

659
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 2: and that I think is a big asset for Drake

660
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: May going forward.

661
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: I trust Ben Johnson, I think in Chicago, based on

662
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: what I've seen so far and every time I see

663
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: him interviewed or in a press situation, I think Oh,

664
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: this guy seems impressive to me. Yep, this guy seems

665
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: like he is a head coach, you know, the hot

666
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: coordinator for so long? Was he going to be good

667
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: head coach? Turned down opportunities? Is he really going to

668
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: be a good Yes, it appears that he's a good

669
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: head coach. And they don't like this in Detroit one

670
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: little bit that he's doing this in Chicago. Nobody likes

671
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: it in the NFC North. All right, I've got more

672
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: for you. Well that's the NFL sounder baby, But let's

673
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: go to the campus scene. College football, college sports an

674
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: utter disaster. And it's not just me saying that. John

675
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: Caliperi went on his epic rant this week. Other coaches

676
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: chiming in and I'm gonna play this game called Is

677
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: this a good idea?

678
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: You tell me? Is this a good idea? Johnny?

679
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: Where you're allowed one free transfer, no more unlimited portal visits.

680
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: You get one free transfer. After that the old rules apply.

681
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: You gott to sit for a year if you transfer.

682
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, good idea. Yes, it's a great idea, absolutely,

683
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: because it's unlimited transfer thing. What it's allowing kids to do.

684
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 2: And these are the ones I have the biggest issue

685
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 2: with is kids that have played one season, maybe got

686
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: red shirted, maybe weren't ready coming out of high school,

687
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, they're kind of like, well

688
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 2: that's not as cool, coaches yelling at me. I don't

689
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 2: know if I like this. I want to go be

690
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: loved again. So why not go into portal and let

691
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: people recruit me again? Yeah, because you get a lot

692
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: of love in the portal, that's right. Well, if you

693
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: make that decision, then that's it. Where you go next,

694
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: that's it. So I think you get the one time

695
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: get out a jail free card if you call it that.

696
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 2: After that rules apply, you're going somewhere else, sit out

697
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: a year. Seeing TJ. Finley quarterback spend go to seven

698
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 2: schools in seven years, that's crazy. What is that? That's

699
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: mercenary stuff. I forget that. We don't need that. I

700
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: think Nil should stay. We got to get a little

701
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 2: bit better handle on it. Yeah, but I feel if

702
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 2: you said you got one free transfer, after that, old

703
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: rules apply, and I think it would be very easy

704
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: to to apply. I think you would minimize a lot

705
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: of the movement. And I think what Nil is doing,

706
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 2: and this is the This is where I think it

707
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: would help. When we used to watch college basketball back

708
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 2: in the day, in particular, whenever they would put out

709
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 2: the College All America teams or the Couge Basketball America teams,

710
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 2: is like I knew all five guys. I knew all

711
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 2: five guys. I look at it now and I don't

712
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: know who anybody is because they're not you're not sticking around.

713
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: But if you had the if you had the one

714
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: time free transfer rule, then old rules apply plus anil,

715
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: especially in college football, you would get you would get

716
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: guys to stick around for a while. Now you might

717
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: have some familiarity with the players who's playing for the

718
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: particular team. Then it wouldn't be all about just that

719
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: particular year. You would have some more uh not not loyalty.

720
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 2: It's loyalty to the right word. Maybe loyalty to that university. Hey,

721
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 2: this guy stated this university for four years, or he

722
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: went one year to one place, didn't fit, he went

723
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: four years to this other place. Okay, it wasn't one

724
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 2: year here, two years there, one year, one year. You're

725
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: not going to four different schools in five years. It's

726
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. And I think what happens from our perspective,

727
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 2: the NFL is with the NIL in particular, You're getting

728
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: guys to stick around for longer, so their games are

729
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: developing a little bit more. We talked about Dante Moore,

730
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: We talked about arch Manning. Going back into the year

731
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: in college is only going to make them better pros

732
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: and I think it helps.

733
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: It also ties you in with the school, your legacy.

734
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: Quin you weres talked about this. It's nice that he's

735
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: absolutely done with his college career as.

736
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: A long horn.

737
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: He has Longhorn legacy, as opposed to I'm transferring somewhere

738
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: else for big money and now I'm no longer really

739
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: a long horn. Right, It's I had a time Longhorn,

740
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: but it's not the same thing. And Caliperry and Charles

741
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: Barkley brought it up in different ways. Charles brought up

742
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: a really good point. This is a one percent richest thing, right,

743
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: the top athletes getting he said, all the money, but

744
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: really getting ninety percent of the money. And then the

745
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: rest of the athletes. Are you getting the education? Are

746
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: you able to stay nurse your scholarship, have that be

747
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: nurtured and use that to get a career going for

748
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: yourself and Cali Prari talked about the tie to the school. Hey,

749
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm a former this, I'm a former of that and

750
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm tied to that school and I'm in one place

751
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: for multiple years where i can really grow as a

752
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: human being.

753
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm still a young person here.

754
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: And Barkley also said this, This affects women's sports greatly.

755
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt women's sports so much. And it's so true.

756
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: You want to have that campus experience, not just raw

757
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: row party. I'm just talking about growth academically, socially, athletically,

758
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: being a part of the fabric of the community.

759
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: I think it's really important stuff. Let me ask you

760
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: a question. Yeah, because I saw this come up last year.

761
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: Will Howard transferred to Ohio State, played one year at

762
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: High State one national championship, and I saw a lot

763
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 2: of people say, well, Will Howard's not a Buckeye because

764
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: he had played four years at Kansas State. But then

765
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: he finished for Ohio State in that one year championship.

766
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: Like kind of to your point, he's Will Howard. Can

767
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 2: you know has he thought of as one of the

768
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: great Ohio State quarterbacks of all time? Led his team

769
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 2: to a national Championship. I don't think so. I don't

770
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: see it that way. Dude's a Kansas date wildcall.

771
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: Just like Carson Beck whatever this Hurricane season ends up being.

772
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 2: Is he really a cane? No?

773
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: They were talking about him like Gino Torretta, Kenn Dorsey.

774
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is a different situation. He's a cane

775
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 2: for hire. Does he even know where the Big Cheese is?

776
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 2: Only Kanes would know that. It's a cane thing thing.

777
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: It's a restaurant, the Big Cheese. It's a Miami Hurricane thing.

778
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: It's really good.

779
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: If Tony Fitzpatrick is listening, he's really smiling right now.

780
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 2: An awful lot.

781
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: All right, That's all I got for this one, because

782
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: we could go on and on about the college sports situation.

783
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: It was a great Kinders Texas Bowl last weekend. It's

784
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: going to be a great finale for the regular season

785
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,600

Speaker 2: Speed.

801
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: So you don't want to miss that, and you don't

802
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: want to miss this Houston Methodist minutes. Do you have insomnia?

803
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: Does anybody you know have it? How about doctor Gungjin

804
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: Narwani of Houston Methodist, And I asked her, what's the

805
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: most common thing people come in to see her about?

806
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 2: Sleep wise people see me forever issues.

807
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 4: I would say the most common thing that people see

808
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 4: me in the clinic four is snoring or unrefreshing sleep.

809
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 4: You may have heard of this, but that is really

810
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 4: the most common thing that we're seeing. We're learning so

811
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 4: much about a condition called obstructive sleep apnea, and how

812
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 4: it's linked to different conditions like cardiovascular risk, cognitive and

813
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 4: neurological risk and so forth. And so that is probably

814
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 4: I see sixty percent of my patient population is getting

815
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 4: seen for sleep apnea. So this is where patients may snore,

816
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 4: sound like they're stopping breathing in the middle of the night,

817
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 4: have restless sleep, and maybe despite getting the adequate number

818
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 4: of hours, like they're in bed maybe for eight hours

819
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 4: at night, but somehow just don't feel refreshed the next day.

820
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 4: And this is a breathing disruption during sleep, and we

821
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 4: have good ways to test this, we have great ways

822
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 4: to treat it. And so that is really the most

823
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 4: common thing that I'm seeing in the office.

824
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 2: Doctor.

825
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: What about the amount of sleep that people need or

826
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: should have? You hear about eight hours all the time?

827
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: Is that the magic number? Or does it very person

828
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: to person? What about these genius people I hear about

829
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: who only need four or five hours of sleep?

830
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: Is that true? You tell us?

831
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there's a lot of data actually to support

832
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 4: the seven to eight hour being the sweet spot. So

833
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 4: I mean it didn't come from nowhere. There's actually there's

834
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 4: data to support that optimal sleep for optimal health outcomes

835
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 4: is somewhere between seven and eight hours, So getting too

836
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 4: it's like goldilocks, right, So getting too little sleep or

837
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 4: getting too much sleep actually show we've seen that people

838
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 4: have poorer health outcomes with those extreme in terms of

839
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 4: hours of sleep. Now, what your second part to the

840
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 4: question is absolutely true, some people do feel like they

841
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 4: can function on less sleep, or some people do feel

842
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 4: like I need eleven hours, or I don't feel I

843
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 4: don't feel right, So there is some individual variability in

844
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 4: how patients feel. But again, aiming for seven I would

845
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: say at a minimum is really where the data supports

846
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 4: good health outcomes overall.

847
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: You're not going to tell me to give up coffee,

848
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: are you? What is your advice with that and diet

849
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: in general when it comes to getting a good night's sleep.

850
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 4: Right, So that's a great question because a lot of

851
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 4: patients will say, I stop caffeine after dinner, or I

852
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 4: sip on caffeine all day, but it doesn't affect me.

853
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 4: Caffeine can stay in your body for a long period

854
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 4: of time, up for six hours, and so I generally

855
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 4: tell my patients after lunch is when if you feel

856
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 4: that you need to be sipping on something, please switch

857
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: to a decap version of whatever you're drinking, because it

858
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 4: can interfere with your sleep, and you know again it

859
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 4: can last for long periods of time. So we can

860
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 4: eliminate that as a variable as something that may be

861
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 4: disruptive to your sleep.

862
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: There's part two of our discussion on sleep with doctor
