1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,400
Speaker 1: What has happened? Everybody.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Monday issue of Texans All Access from

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: the Honday Texans Radio studio, and we are embarking on

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: another tremendous week in the city of Houston. And wherever

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: you are listening to the show, I appreciate you being

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: with us. John Harris, Football and all the sideline reporter

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: for your Houston Texans alongside the voice to the Texans,

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: Mark vanmir Mark.

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Good evening. How are you doing wherever you might.

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: Be, Johnny, I'm on a bit of a vacation here,

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: but you know, still want to do the show, still

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 3: want to be part of it, of course, and we

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: always do this and business ops for the Texans. The

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: office basically shuts down this week every year, fourth of July,

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: week before or after, give or take, because it's just

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: kind of ridiculous to be, you know, going fifty two

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: weeks a year. Take one week off everybody, and you

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 3: know what's coming. The season's coming. No one's going anywhere.

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: Everybody's locking in eight days a week from start to finish,

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: and it's going to start before you know it. I mean,

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: we begin training camp, Johnny, and I think it might

22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: be exactly a month from today. I don't know if

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: they've officially announced anything, but it's either the twenty eight,

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: twenty ninth, somewhere in there. I think they had. The

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: report day is the twenty eighth, So we'll get together

26
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: and we will be on it with our morning shows

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: from training camp eight to ten am. Of course, Sean

28
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: and Seth will be out there. I imagine in the

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: Loop will be out there as well, and we will

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: rock to the finish. I can't wait. I can feel

31
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: it coming. I can feel it in the air tonight.

32
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: That's what Phil Collins would say, and Imray Johns would

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: approve because that's his favorite pregame song.

34
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: So I'm all about that, Johnny.

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. A couple of things. Number One, it

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: is and has been out there.

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: Texans rookies will report the twenty first of July, and

38
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: the veterans will report to twenty eighth, which, if you're

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: doing the math in years past, yep. The next day

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: was the first day of practice, which would bet July

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: twenty ninth. That's probably gonna be the date that a

42
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: lot of teams. When I looked at that schedule, there

43
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: are a lot of teams reporting out at twenty eight,

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: so a lot of teams are gonna be opening on

45
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: the twenty ninth. I remember asking Andre Johnson about that.

46
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: I said, you know what was kind of the what

47
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: did you listen to? You know, your case from Miami

48
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: and back when he was growing up, you know, trick

49
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: Daddy was big in Miami, and like, you know what

50
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: got you pumped up for a game? And I just

51
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: remember him saying, you know, in the Air tonight, Phil Collins.

52
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: And I was like really, and I remember that's what

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: That's what they would come on the field to at

54
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: the Orange Bowl.

55
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: And I thought, hmm, that that's pretty cool.

56
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: And so whenever I hear in the Air Tonight, which

57
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: is on number of my playlists that I listened to,

58
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: and I had a lot of time to listen to

59
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: those last week as I was driving from LA to Houston,

60
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: in the air, in the Air Tonight comes on, and

61
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: that's the one person.

62
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: I think about Andre Johnson too.

63
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: It's amazing I think about him when I hear that song,

64
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: not even Phil Collins, I hear the song, I think

65
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: Andre Johnson me too.

66
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: And you know the Orange Bowl, I was forcunate it

67
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: to broadcast some games there and that, and here I

68
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: am rocking like a hurricane by the Scorpions when the

69
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 3: Canes would play.

70
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that was electric. That was a lot

71
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 4: of fun.

72
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: It was great to be a part of those games,

73
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 3: those atmospheres. We could do a whole show, Johnny. We

74
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: can hijack the show with pregame hype music at stages.

75
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 3: It gets ultra fired up. Now. Now it's even when

76
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: my sons are listening to any kind of rap that

77
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: semi sounds like practice. I'm thinking, this sounds like practice.

78
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: I'm getting in the mood, or it sounds like pregame.

79
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: You know, when you're on the road, you get there

80
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: really early. You can just hear the rap going throughout

81
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: the stadium. You're like, Okay, let's go, let's rock. And

82
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: I love that stuff. Man, I can't wait. We're gonna

83
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: be back in the buildings soon enough.

84
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely back in the building soon enough. Got you know,

85
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: all kinds of things happening throughout the world of sports.

86
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: We're closing down a little bit on the summer things.

87
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: World Cup continues and it will be I.

88
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: Think July fourth is the last game at Reliant Stadium

89
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: aka Houston stadium as the World Cup wants to call it.

90
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: But it's been a you know, tremendous event thus far.

91
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: But I say, I am looking to get back into

92
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: the doc lot, so there'll be a few things that

93
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: go with us having the World Cup out of the building,

94
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: but it's been it's been pretty amazing. I think one

95
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: of the things mark about sporting events as such. You know,

96
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: you talk to people that you know, you talk to

97
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: fans of the sport, and then you say, hey, give

98
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: me the give me the top ten players in the world,

99
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: give me the top fifteen players in the world. Those

100
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: guys are all showing up in scoring goals at the

101
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: World Cup, which is cool, which is exactly what you want.

102
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: I think that's what makes the World Cup. You obviously,

103
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: you know surprise stories like Kate Verde, Dr Congo, et cetera.

104
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: But it's when the stars show up. You know, when

105
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Messi scores a couple of goals, when Early Holland scores

106
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: a couple of goals for Norway almost every game, Harry

107
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: Kane the first match they ended up scoring a couple

108
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: of goals. So it's always cool to see the stars

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: show up in a big event like the World Cup.

110
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: Nico Collins is the star for the Texans wide receiver corps.

111
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: So I'm segueing into this. You you brought this to my attention,

112
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: and I really looked at this this morning, and I

113
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: was looking at this and I just felt like I

114
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: didn't like the way that this was posed by Bill Barnwell.

115
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: He does this every year.

116
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: He ranks his wide receiver, tight end and running back

117
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: groups for twenty twenty six as a as a collective YEP,

118
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: best and worst NFL teams. And so I'm scrolling. I'm

119
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: scrolling down and I'm not really sure. Okay, where is

120
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: he gonna put Where are the Texans? Not really sure?

121
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: But you want to see how fast this thing could

122
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: change in the NFL. Number thirty two is the Miami Dolphins.

123
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago they were top five. So

124
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: I saw that first and I went down. Interesting. The

125
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: Bills are twenty ninth. I keep going down like old man.

126
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: The Raiders are twenty six. Okay, we should be Oh,

127
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: they're the Titans at twenty five one of where the

128
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: Texans are at number twenty four. They are essentially in

129
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: the lower quart of the third quartile. As Jimmer say,

130
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: he liked to say they're twenty fourth. Yep, so they're

131
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: bottom nine in the NFL, as Bill Barnwell put it,

132
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: and Bill Barnwell writes for ESPN, does a lot of

133
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: what's the best way saying is he does a lot

134
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: of football nerd stuff and so, but he also watches

135
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: games too. He doesn't just look at the nerd stuff.

136
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: But I think sometimes he leans more of the nerd

137
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: stuff than he does watch the games. And I say

138
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: the nerd stuff with respect because I think people that

139
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: are able to put them together, like, hey, I saw

140
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: this on film and these analytics kind of back that up.

141
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: I can go with that, and I think there are

142
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: some people out there in the analyst world, in the

143
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: football world that do that. But I had a little

144
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: bit of a bone to pick with what he had

145
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 2: to say in his rationale for why the Texans were

146
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: twenty fourth. Keep in mind, they were fourth going into

147
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. They were fourth heath going into twenty

148
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: twenty five. And so here's my big bon of contention

149
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: he talks about, and this is Bill Barnwell saying this.

150
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: The Texas started with legitimate number one wide out Nico Collins.

151
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: Although twenty twenty five is a slight downturn. He fell

152
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: from thirty yards per route to fourteenth. Collins is still

153
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: a top ten receiver for me, but injuries that costs

154
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: a better part of ten games overs three years as

155
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: a top option in Houston. If he's going to be

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: sidelined for about twenty percent of the season, it limits

157
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: what his ceiling could be for the Texans.

158
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: So I'll stop there. We talked about this mark.

159
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: A major key for this offense is Nico Collins playing

160
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: fifteen plus games?

161
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, absolutely, yeah.

162
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean I don't think there's any secret now, I

163
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: mean everybody that has watched his team knows Nico's got

164
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: to play fifteen plus games.

165
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: Then he continues and if.

166
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: Collins isn't on the field, there isn't a scary group

167
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: of playmakers. There are reasons to be optimistic about Jayden Higgins,

168
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: who caught six touchdowns last season as a rookie, but

169
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: he and Jalen Nole produced slightly below average yards per

170
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: route run marks. Okay, now I'm gonna stop there.

171
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: Okay, please do please stop at yards per route because

172
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: he says the same thing about Pierce in a positive way,

173
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking I want to ask Nick next time

174
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: we have Nick on Nick, how important stat emetric yards

175
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: per route? Please tell me enlighten me. Now, maybe it's

176
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: monumentally important to Nick Casario and his whole staff. Listen,

177
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: forget about yards per catch, forget about touchdowns. I want

178
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: yards per route. Get me yards per route, Johnny, I'm

179
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: going crazy looking at yards per.

180
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: Route, right, So okay, but let me but here's the thing.

181
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: If you're gonna use that as your argument, right, there

182
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: are few things that you have to take into account.

183
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: Number One, Jaden Higgins was a rookie, so we know

184
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: when we analyze rookies that first half, second half half

185
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: of the year are not gonna be are gonna be different,

186
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: more than likely. And if the second half is much

187
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: better than the first half, then you've got to say

188
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: that you have to analyze that and say, look, the

189
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: first half didn't have his bigg an impact, but look

190
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: at the second half. Think about the games in the

191
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: second half of the season that Jaye Higgins played a

192
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: massive role in the Chargers game at the beginning of

193
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: the game with that deep route, the Bills game, you're

194
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: catching that touchdown before the half. You know those are

195
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: all second half of the year, you know, opportunities for him.

196
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: But he doesn't look Johnny, he doesn't look at that

197
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 3: right because with the Jaguars, he did point out, hey,

198
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 3: look Travis Hunter. I know, well, you say what you say,

199
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: but he had one hundred yard game against the Rams,

200
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: and then he had the kney injury, so he's gonna

201
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 3: be awesome, and he can point out that Jacoby Myers

202
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: and look, this is fair. Jacoby Myers gets there and

203
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: he makes the difference for the Jaguars, no doubt about that.

204
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: But you have to look at second half, first half,

205
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: especially when they're rookies with no track und coming in.

206
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: What impact did they have down the stretch? You have

207
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 3: to say Higgins had a big impact for the Texans.

208
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: And look, if you don't want to project, you don't

209
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: want to project. But he's projecting with Travis Hunter all

210
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: day long. He's projecting with Travis Hunter. So why don't

211
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: you project with Higgins, who I think is a far

212
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: safer projection. Am I saying Higgins is better than Travis

213
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: Hunter as a receiver? I am? I am saying that

214
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: he is. I'm thinking every GM in the league would

215
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: take as a receiver only Jayden Higgins over Travis Hunter.

216
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm wrong.

217
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 4: Proved me wrong, but you can't prove me wrong because

218
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: we're not.

219
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: Okay, serve the GMS, mark, let's put some numbers to this, Okay,

220
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: So I decided I just put yards per route twenty

221
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,239
Speaker 2: twenty five Jayden Higgins into whatever Google's AI.

222
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Tool is, whatever it is.

223
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, Gemini, Okay, Gemini, So I put it

224
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: in a Gemini, right, So it's spit back out to me.

225
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins finished his rookie season

226
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: averaging one point five zero yards yards route run. Okay,

227
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: all right, what does that mean? Don't really know, but

228
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: go with me on this number one. His one point

229
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: five zero yards per route run average placed him tops

230
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: amongst the rookie wide receivers who averaged at least one

231
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: point four yards per route run in twenty twenty five.

232
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: Johnny, I take back everything I said. I love yards

233
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: per rout now now my favorite stat. I think it's

234
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: monumentally important.

235
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: I love kay.

236
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Okay, but no, it gets better. And this is this

237
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: is to my point. Second half search, Higgins saw his

238
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: yards per route run spike significantly as his role in

239
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: the offense grew, averaging around two point one point one

240
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: yards per route.

241
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Run from week ten onward.

242
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: So then I went to see if I could find

243
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: statistics for yards per route run and okay, where would

244
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: two point one one?

245
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Look, it's week ten going forward. I get it.

246
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: But again it proves the point of when you look

247
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: at a rookie, you look at the first half, you

248
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: look at the second half. Essentially week ten becomes the

249
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: second half of the season. It's monumentally different. So I

250
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: looked up for two point one to one yards per

251
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: route run amongst receivers that had the type of the

252
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: number of targets, number of snaps played, et cetera.

253
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: It would put him about fifteen in the league at

254
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: two point one to one yards per route run.

255
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 4: Wow.

256
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm using.

257
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: The nerd numbers against the ultimate nerd and Bill Barnwell.

258
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: But it just shoots down his argument. Now, I'll give

259
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: you Jalen no look, Jalen.

260
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: Jalen was caught in a sense, in a matter of

261
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: circumstance because Christian Kirk made some plays at the end

262
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: of the year. You know, he had touchdown catches against

263
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo obviously had that big Pittsburgh game, So those were

264
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: a number of snaps and targets. Jalen will get I

265
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: think this year, but he wasn't get last year because

266
00:12:58,679 --> 00:12:59,359
Speaker 2: of the president.

267
00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: Of Christian Kirk.

268
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: So right there with those two, I can understand Jalen nole,

269
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: but you can't hit me with that, Jaydon Higgins, nonsense.

270
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: They're the numbers that prove it right there, that prove

271
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: your yards per route run is totally incorrect for the

272
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: second half of the year. And that's if you're projecting,

273
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna look that second half of the year number.

274
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 3: Johnny, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to

275
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: get too bogged down with yards per route and complaining

276
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: about this particular statistic. But to me, with receivers, a

277
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 3: lot of it is are they getting the ball?

278
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

279
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 3: Are they getting separation? Sure? But are they in the

280
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: play call? Are they part of the progression at least

281
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 3: one or two so you have an opportunity for them

282
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: to catch the ball. There's so much that goes into

283
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: it with receivers other than well, look they're underperforming. Well,

284
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: there's a lot that goes into underperforming. You know, yeah,

285
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: are you throwing them the ball and they're not catching it. Okay,

286
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: that's underperforming. Are they not getting separation? The quarterback has

287
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 3: to look away because they're just blanketed or whatever, or

288
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: and that might be the play call not working. Also,

289
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: so many different factors. Is that factor in to a

290
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: receiver's production and perceived success?

291
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely.

292
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: Now he mentioned Tank Dell and kind of says what

293
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: everybody's been saying. It's hard to really project with Tank,

294
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: Like I understand, I understand that.

295
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: And he mentioned Dalton Schultz. This is one number that

296
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: stood out to me.

297
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: He mentioned you six and receiving yards last season at

298
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: the tight end position. He said he didn't produce explosive plays.

299
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: He said that his twenty plus yard reception rate was

300
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: half the league average Titan, Okay, whatever, But this.

301
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: One got me.

302
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: He said, nor does he make an impact in the

303
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: red zone, where he had five catches all season? Really, yeah,

304
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: I was like, for a guy that really had had

305
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: a lot of red zone success, especially in twenty twenty three,

306
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: I thought he had a little bit more than that.

307
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: You know, obviously he has a touchdown catch against the Jags,

308
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: and I started thinking about, Yeah, you know it wasn't

309
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: a lot of catches in the red zone, and that's

310
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: where you'd like to see your tight ends make some plays.

311
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: And maybe maybe it is adult. Maybe it ends up

312
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: being a guy like Marlon Klein. Maybe it ends up

313
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: being Foster Moreau who makes some plays in the red zone.

314
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: But again, when you have two six to four wide

315
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: receivers and Higgins and Nico, you those guys can make

316
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: a lot of places in the red zone.

317
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: Well.

318
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: Another thing, and I don't know if you're going to

319
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: get to the Colts or not, but they're ranked fourteenth

320
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: in this group of non quarterback skill players the Bill

321
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: Barnwell rankings list, And I think he gives the Colts

322
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: way too much generosity here because you lose Michael Pittman,

323
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: who wasn't great. You know, you and I've talked about

324
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: Pittman a lot, but he was productive in the sense

325
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: of a Colt's offensive member, right He and Pierce and Downs.

326
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not a bad group right there. We

327
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: just didn't feel Pittman was worth number one type money.

328
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: But Pierce is getting number one money. Oh by the way,

329
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: two point two yards per round for Pierce. Okay, good,

330
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: all right, that's a good number. I guess congratulations Pierce.

331
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: Who Yeah, yards per catch, It's insane. He's off the charts, charts,

332
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: he's off the Richter scale with that. And you do

333
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: have Jonathan Taylor, So Jonathan Taylor, Pierce, now Tyler Warren

334
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: and Schultz. Schultz has more catches than Warren did in

335
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: his rookie year. Are you projecting, Bill Barnwell that Warren's

336
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: going to have a better year? Is that what you're saying?

337
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: And you know, I would say that that's fair in

338
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: a sense, but you got to do it with everybody

339
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: else too. The Texans rookies from last year, Warren was good.

340
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: Warren had slightly more yards than Schultz. Back to the

341
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: Schultz five catches in the red zone thing too. Look,

342
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: we are talking about the leading receiver on the team.

343
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: This was not a perfect offensive team to say the least.

344
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: We all know that they wanted to score more touchdowns

345
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: the red zone. Gripe or complaint or concern or whatever

346
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: about Schultz, you get spread that around. Yeah, we want

347
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: more touchdowns period. Whoever is going to get them got it.

348
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: But when you're ranking the group, I think they're being

349
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 3: a little unfair to put them at twenty fourth. Now

350
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: they have a lot of company of good teams that

351
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: are ranked in the twenties. John, I mean the Broncos

352
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: are right there too, and you know, they would have,

353
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: could have, should have gotten to the Super Bowl. They

354
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: got to the AFC Championship game in their home. But

355
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: I still take issue a little bit. Maybe I don't

356
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: with the Colts being fourteenth. I just take issue with

357
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: the Texans being that far behind the Colts in this

358
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: skill position ranking.

359
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the Broncos. The Broncos are twenty third.

360
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting because the Broncos are twenty third going

361
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: into last year and they just traded for Jalen Wattle,

362
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: so that's kind of a little bit of a head scratcher.

363
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: But you know, Titans are twenty fifth.

364
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: But the one other thing, one last thing about the

365
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: Texans and then we'll look at the top ten because

366
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: we could flip it. How many of these groups are

367
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: the Texas defense gonna face. There's no mention in what

368
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: he marks at all. He doesn't mentioned what he goes

369
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: into a long situation and discussing David Montgomery, but he

370
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: hasn't mentioned what he marks at all. And I just

371
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: I feel like addressing David Montgomery as a solo artist

372
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: is it isn't the right way to look at this now.

373
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're talking Holland Oates. I don't

374
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: know if we're talking fleetwood Mac. I don't know if

375
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: we're talking you know, run DMC. I don't know if

376
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: it's gonna be equal opportunity for both. You know, maybe

377
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: it's a little bit more for for for Demo than

378
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: it is for Woody whatever. But I just don't know

379
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: that you can take an evaluation of especially the running

380
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: back situation and go or this whole just skilled player

381
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: situation and go, yeah, David Montgomery's it, Yes, But what

382
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: he Marcus is as good a number two as you're

383
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: gonna find. And I think he's gonna take that step.

384
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked to Woody. There was there was

385
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: a remarkable difference in Woodies just energy and and everything

386
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: from his rookie year to his second year. Just everything

387
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: he knows about the offense and knowing how to have

388
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 2: his body prepared for the season so that he's not

389
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 2: banged up, you know, each and every game like we

390
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 2: would see him now, he fought through it.

391
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: He fought through it.

392
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: But you know, there were times where we probably could

393
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: have gotten more out of him if he had not

394
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: taken such a physical punishment. But I think it's I

395
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: always say disingenuous, But when you're thinking about the league itself,

396
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: how many teams are gonna have a one back? He's

397
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 2: the guy, he's a belcow situation. Well, yeah, you got Baltimore,

398
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: Derek Henry, You've got Indneapolis Jonathan Taylor, You've got cmc

399
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: out in San Francisco Center. But a lot of these

400
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: groups are are gonna be by committee. I don't know

401
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: if it's one hundred fifty fifty by committee. But not

402
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: analyzing what he marks, I think is somewhat I'm saying. Look,

403
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: I know you can't mention everybody, but you're talking about

404
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: a guy that very well is gonna be a one,

405
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: be not a two.

406
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: To David Montgomery.

407
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: Well, I've got the perfect duo that I want it

408
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: to be, and I want him to be Simon and

409
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: Garfunkle because I want Montgomery to be Simon. You know,

410
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: he's the main guy. He's the main guy, he writes

411
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: the songs. He's gonna carry most of the load. But

412
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: I think it could be like sixty forty, you know,

413
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 3: fifty five forty five, that kind of thing, because without Garfunkle,

414
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: Simon is definitely he's good, but he's not as good,

415
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: right right, the harmonies, the occasional solo spot for Garfunkel

416
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: Bridge over Troubled Water. I mean, that's a Garfunkel song

417
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: right there, that written by Paul Simon, and he crushes it.

418
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: And that's what we're gonna need some games. Woody Marks

419
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: is gonna absolutely crush it and Montgomery won't have as

420
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: many carries or yards, but it was a Woody Marks day.

421
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: I think most of the days will be that sixty

422
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: to forty ish kind of thing, give or take. But

423
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna have days where wood he takes over what

424
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: he's catching the ball well out of the backfield. And

425
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: Montgomery's nastiness, his attitude really fits in with everything they've

426
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: been talking about and showing to a degree so far

427
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: according to their own players showing so far in the

428
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: practice field. With the offensive line bringing the tude with

429
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 3: Foster Moreau, David Montgomery, Johnny the thread is running through them.

430
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: It's more like a rope of this nasty let's go

431
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: get him attitude now we got to see it in games.

432
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna see it in camp first against

433
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 3: the number one defense. See if it translates once to

434
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 3: get into pads preseason games, you're gonna get a little taste,

435
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 3: a little bite, you know, a little or derve. It'll

436
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: be like a slider instead of a full burger. You know.

437
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: But then you get into the regular season and we're

438
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: gonna know. We're gonna know against Buffalo pretty quick what

439
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: the difference is and full dividends. You know, this offensive

440
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 3: line three four games in, I got it, but we

441
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 3: want to see it right away translating into victories anyway,

442
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 3: or at least better offensive performance overall enough to make

443
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: a difference with the defense doesn't necessarily have to sack

444
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: Josh Allen eight times in order to win a football game.

445
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, for all my brethren out there that

446
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: leve a little nineties hip hop, you know, it just

447
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: hit me what Fife Dog is Woody Marx, Q Tip

448
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 2: is David Montgomery and they are a tribe called Quest

449
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: and Juar Jordan is Ali Shahid Muhammad. So yeah, tribe

450
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: called Quest is the want to hit me? The Titans,

451
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 2: I said, are twenty five. The Jaguars are eighteen, just

452
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: like last year, which is interesting because that group didn't

453
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: improve honestly until Jacoby Myers came along halfway through the season.

454
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: I think they projected.

455
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas a little bit higher than obviously he ended up,

456
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: but that Jacoby Myers moved. The best group from the

457
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: NFC South, as Mark said, the Indianapolis Colts coming in

458
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: at fourteen at the top of the list, Numero uno.

459
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 2: The Falcons are four that makes sense. The Detroit Lions,

460
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 2: even though they lost David Montgomery. They come in at

461
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: number one. Texans who do not play them. The Rams

462
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: are two Texans who do not play them. The top

463
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: team the Texans will play, and they will play in

464
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: Week two, the Cincinnati Bengals. I think the sneaky hot

465
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengal to watch this year is Chase Brown, their

466
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: running back. I think Chase Brown is a lot better

467
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: than people give him credit for. I think his numbers

468
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: are better than people give him credit for, and he's

469
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: always kind of forgotten. He came out of Illinois. I

470
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: think he is a He's a tough nut to crack,

471
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: and he is gonna be running hard in Week two

472
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: so keeping on a Chase Brown because we know the

473
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: receivers I mean Tea against Jamar Chase and you throw

474
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: in a number three Andre Yoshavas arguably the best three

475
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 2: in the league. They're gonna be tough. There's no doubt

476
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: Chase Brown makes them a complete unit. Now, speaking of Cincinnati,

477
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty three, the Texans played an all

478
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: timer at Cincinnati. Mark and I broke down the twenty

479
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: twenty three season. We celebrated in our twenty fifth season.

Speaker 1: Great to be back in h Town slash Galveston.

00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Jean Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter for

486
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: your Houston Texas. I mentioned earlier the last game of

487
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: the World Cup in Houston will be July fourth, but

488
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: the second to last game today, Man, what a banger

489
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: that was Japan.

490
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: Holding on early up one nil.

491
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 2: Brazil scores makes it won one and then it's stoppage time.

492
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 2: Martin Elli with the goal to give Brazil a hard

493
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: fought to one victory. What a match at Houston Stadium,

494
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: AK Reliant Stadium.

495
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: But Brazil moves on. Japan.

496
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: Man, what a sad ending for a really good story

497
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: in Houston. My man Figi was talking about that all week.

498
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: Is a big Japan and they were tremendous as fans.

499
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: Just everything that you saw on social media, it's how

500
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: excited they were to be in the States watching their

501
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: soccer team. It was incredible. So congratulations to Japan. Had

502
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: a good run in the World Cup. But Brazil moves

503
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: on with a banger of a match today at Houston Stadium.

504
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: Speaking of bangers, twenty twenty three was filled with them.

505
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: Mark and I celebrated the twenty twenty three season. As

506
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: we are in our twenty fifth season here with the

507
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Houston Texas, we figured we're gonna go back throughout the

508
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: summer and look back at some of the great moments.

509
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: And look, I understand the Texans have not won a

510
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Now you got an AFC Championship game, but

511
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: we've had some great moments along the way. At twenty

512
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: twenty three was definitely one of them. And what a

513
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: year When you close your eyes and you think back. Now,

514
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: don't close your eyes if you're driving, but if you're

515
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 2: sitting listening somewhere, we can close your eyes. Closing with me,

516
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: and think back to twenty twenty three. Dimko Ryans is hired,

517
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: Seed Stroud is drafted Will Anderson junior.

518
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: There's a big.

519
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: Trade that bring him in third round a draft tank

520
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 2: Dell and you start to see the makings of what

521
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: you hope is going to be a team that can

522
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: win a lot of games going forward.

523
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: But twenty twenty three starts. We go to Baltimore. We lose.

524
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: Wasn't unexpected. I think we had a seven to six

525
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: lead a half. The Ravens ran away with it in

526
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: the second half. Then we came back home, all right,

527
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna get a win against the Colts. We're gonna

528
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: get this thing going. And the Colts jumped out fourteen

529
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: and nothing. Anthony Richardson just goes nuts for three drives.

530
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 2: We get in a big hole, Gardner minshew, then Dinson

531
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: dunks his way down the field and the Colts beat us.

532
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 2: We're not zeroing two and Mark, I remember when we

533
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: got ready for Week three. We flew down to Jacksonville Saturday, night.

534
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: We ended up meeting up with a number of my

535
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: former players. They're now they're now in their forty and

536
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 2: we're all sitting at dinner.

537
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: The Jags had lost to the Chiefs week before.

538
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 2: The Jags were one and one, but they were coming

539
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 2: off a year in which they won the division.

540
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two.

541
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: They had a great second half storm back. The Titans

542
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: faded and the Jaguars took over. Then they came from

543
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: behind a playoff game. They got the division round. Now

544
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: they got beat but there was a lot of hype

545
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: around the Jaguars. But they lost to the defending champs

546
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: Kinsty Chiefs in Jacksonville.

547
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: They were one and one, we were zero and two.

548
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: They were about to go to London, and I remember

549
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: that being kind of a talking point when we were

550
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: at dinner with my guys and they were completely looking

551
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: past us. Yep, I remember that, and they were, you know,

552
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: we'll get the win on Sunday.

553
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: You know, you guys aren't very good. We'll get to win.

554
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: We'll go to London and we'll take care of business.

555
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: And then we showed up and played in a hot

556
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: environment and we were hot in every way, shape or form.

557
00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: Yep.

558
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: There's so many any different plays in that game, Mark

559
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 2: that stand out to me. But what's the one in

560
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: that game that you remember more than any other that

561
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: you went, WHOA, this is different. Twenty twenty three could

562
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: go a whole lot differently if this continues to happen.

563
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: Well, I thought the game before you mentioned losing to

564
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: the Colts. In the second half of that game, CJ.

565
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: Stroud throws for two hundred and seventy four yards and

566
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 3: a touchdown. Yep, no huddle, Texans up the twenty three

567
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: first down, straut of the gun, gets the snap, throws

568
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: right side, he.

569
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: Hits tag, loses the man, takes it across the five,

570
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: rock and roll touchdown.

571
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: Stroud to down And during the second half of that game,

572
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 3: I thought, Oh, he's he's the one.

573
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is it. This guy can throw the football.

574
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: He's QB one.

575
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: We got excited at the end of the twenty twenty

576
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 3: one season when Davis threw the ball so well against

577
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 3: the Titans in a loss, yep, and he was going

578
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: nuts to Amadola.

579
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: That was cool.

580
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: But here's Stroud Week two, twenty twenty three, second half

581
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: lighting up the Colts, and we just can't stay with him.

582
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 3: Can't run the ball. But you know we're down throwing

583
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: the ball. You mentioned it down fourteen nothing whatever, You.

584
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: Lose the game. But I had a lot of hope

585
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: and I.

586
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: Thought offensively, yeah, offensively right. I was like, we gotta

587
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: get it going on defense. Yeah, so I think the play. Look,

588
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: Beck convinced me we're gonna win that game, all right?

589
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: With the kickoff return for the touchdown. Yeah, Brandon McManus

590
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: will kick off fromarra left to right with Mike Boone

591
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: back deep one yard deep at the end zone. Last

592
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: time he let it bounce and this is going to

593
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: be inside the ten and this is dropped picked up

594
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: by Beck.

595
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Beck still going running to the right side.

596
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: Beck has some room twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty,

597
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: he's at the fifty, he's at the forty five of Jacksonville.

598
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: Beck across the thirty to twenty, the fifteen ten to five.

599
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Rock and roll touchdown? Then? My goodness,

600
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: And I thought, this is special. This is fun.

601
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: You know, this is great, special teams play. You have

602
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: Beck scoring, This is this is incredible. Hit you freaking

603
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 3: back hands back and hits your freaking back. Why we

604
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: wanted him back on the team. I know, maybe there's

605
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: a Beck magical play. So maybe, and boy, Christian Kirk's

606
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 3: a Jaguar at this point, and they actually, you know,

607
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: they have something going on with him. In that game,

608
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: he catches a late touchdown pass. Texans have a pretty

609
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: comfortable lead, but Tank Dell sixty eight yard bomb from

610
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 3: c J.

611
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: Stroud. Here comes the blift, CJ firing Daffield to us

612
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 1: right and Tank has it at the forty, the thirty,

613
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: the twenty ten five touchdown, Tank Dell to the house.

614
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: Wow, sixty eight yards the rookie scores. There was something

615
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: about that, Yeah, because it's Tank. We were talking about

616
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: Tank in the first segment. Everything he means. There's this

617
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: X factor about Tank Dell when he makes a big play,

618
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: just his presence.

619
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: There's just something about it.

620
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: And it would be heard from again a lot that season,

621
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 3: But that was the one that really put it over

622
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: for me, Johnny, because he opened up a huge lead

623
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: that was gonna be the first win and you got

624
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: it in that way.

625
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that game was just incredible.

626
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: We end up winning that game and coming back home

627
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: for Pittsburgh and oh, it's gonna be a bunch of

628
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: you know, terrible towels and all that, and then CJ

629
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: closes out a thirty to six win over the Steelers

630
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: where they touchdown throw to Nico that is just gorgeous.

631
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: Third and seven from the Texans forty eight. Stroud shotgun

632
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: Motor in the backfield with him. CJ gets to snap.

633
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: CJ throwing downfield and caught by Nico twenty five to

634
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: twenty Blake to tackle fifteen ten five rock and roll

635
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: touchdown gusten.

636
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: CJ.

637
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: Stroud with more third down magic to the end zone.

638
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: That would get the win against the Steelers.

639
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: And now they're two and two, and you're thinking, holy cow,

640
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: this team is a little bit better than what we thought.

641
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: Now they would get tripped up in Atlanta. They were

642
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: winning a couple of games here, but.

643
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: Then they went There's so much to that though.

644
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we could do a three hour podcast on this,

645
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: because we were talking to Rod right about the Atlanta game,

646
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: that's right, and how they took the lead late on

647
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: the pastor Schultz, but he wasn't as heavy as in

648
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: the substitution patterns as he would later be, and he

649
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: felt like they were a little gassed for that final drive,

650
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 3: but Atlanta got the game winning field goal young Waykup

651
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: knocking it down, and then you know, you come back

652
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 3: and they beat the Saints after that.

653
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: Huh yeah.

654
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: I remember in that game Blake Cashman playing like lights out.

655
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: He was egat Orleans and he had a fourth down

656
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: stop on Alvin Kamara on our sideline, like right in

657
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: front of me, where Kamara looked like he's gonna break

658
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: away from a tackle, and I can't remember who it was,

659
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: might have been Shack Griffin and he was about to

660
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 2: break away from a tackle and came cashering, came out

661
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: of nowhere and finished it before he could get the

662
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: first down. I just remember thinking, WHOA, this defense is

663
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: starting to play with a little bit of they're playing

664
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: with a little bit of juice. That sentiment to the

665
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: bye week, get three and three, and I remember we

666
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: went week seven by week and we thought, look.

667
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: We got Carolina, come out in the bag.

668
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: We got this Carolina stinks in the bag, Johnny, it

669
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: is in the bag.

670
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: And then it.

671
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: And then you wasn't you hyperventilated to a bag fanteen

672
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: thirteen loss.

673
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: Now you're three and four and you're looking at a

674
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: stretch of Tampa Bay, who had Tampa Bay at the time,

675
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: was kind of teetering. They were like, Okay, what kind

676
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: of team is Tampa Bay? When you were talented, but

677
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: then after that you had Cincinnati. Then you had an

678
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: another visit from Jacksonville h Broncos. You know, you had

679
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: a schedule that you know, you thought was going to

680
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: be manageable throughout, but you weren't totally sure. But you

681
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: couldn't go to three and five. Nope, you could not

682
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: go to three and five. And then Baker Mayfield late

683
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: in the game, a game you've let pretty much, I

684
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: would say about seventy five to eight percent of it,

685
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: Baker Mayty.

686
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: Kick the field goal. Oh, they're gonna try a field goal.

687
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: Here we go with some dramatic stuff here for Frank

688
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: Ross's Special Teams unit. A Gunbowale will try it a

689
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: twenty nine yard attempt from the left. Hash Mark Weeks

690
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: will snap, Cameron Johnston will hold a Gunbowale the running

691
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: back for the lead snap is down, the kickers off,

692
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: but it's good. Dorry a Goodbali for three and the

693
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: Texans are back and front.

694
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: Are you kidding?

695
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 5: We may be watching the changing of the game today

696
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 5: and how it's played and how rosters are filled out unbelievable.

697
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: This is a magical afternoon. You have to win this

698
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: game and have kotten with the TD reception, Oh Mayfield,

699
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 3: no timeouts for the box, Texans up three, first down

700
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: buccanteers if for Houston fourteen, empty bath Field. Here's the

701
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: snapped up Baker, Baker throwing to the end zone and

702
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: it's caught and touchdown Oughton the Bucks going front. Isn't

703
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: it too much to ask the My God forgot about?

704
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: What was the wind probability? I love this crap. The

705
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 3: wind probability for Tampa Bay with thirty seven seconds to go,

706
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: it was it was like, I mean, it was like,

707
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 3: but then you put together the drive of CJ's career

708
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 3: maybe to date, right yep, and he hits Tang for

709
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 3: the game winner, but you.

710
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: Had to score a touchdown because the touchdown put them

711
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 2: up thirty seven thirty three.

712
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: So I remember, I'll never forget this.

713
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: I remember Dre saying as he was walking out to

714
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: the huddle, Okay, let's see what the rookie's made of

715
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: talking about CJ.

716
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: And I just remember him walking out the huddle, and

717
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: he just seems so calm. Yeah, he seems so poised.

718
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, this getting interesting. Uh and then he

719
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: makes it. He hits Dalton.

720
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: But the big throw was the one to Tank on

721
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: the sideline and then with ten seconds left, according to

722
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: CJ and Tank, this was one that they drew up

723
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: on the sideline together.

724
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 3: Stratton the gun, empty backfield after motion first down of

725
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 3: the Buffs fifteen ten seconds to go.

726
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: CJ gets the snap. CJ looking throwing to the end zone.

727
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 3: Yes, so with the rest up said rock and roll.

728
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 5: My goodness.

729
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 2: I mean two are like, hey, man, run the post,

730
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: I'll hit you, and he did.

731
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: Is it just a pure post? I mean it pretty

732
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: much was. It was just pretty It was pretty much

733
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: a post. You might want to cover Tank, yeah, maybe,

734
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: and then they couldn't.

735
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 2: But that touchdown put the Texas up thirty nine, thirty seven,

736
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: and that that kicked off at three game winning Street.

737
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 2: Because next was a trip to Cincinnati, which the Texans

738
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 2: pretty much dominated.

739
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: There was an early touchdown about Joe Burrow. This game

740
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: popped up on.

741
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 2: My YouTube feed the other day and I was watching

742
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: it and I was like, man, Tanks got some great

743
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: things in this.

744
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: But that was the Noah Brown game.

745
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: The biggest was laid in the game when he catches

746
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: a route about at the sticks and then fights through tackles,

747
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: picks up another ten to twelve yards. He's not going

748
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: down and you start looking at the clock and only

749
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 2: for your One of my favorite things about that play

750
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: is Michael Dieter was the starting center at that point

751
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: and Deeter runs up on the pile and he because

752
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: he's got to He's got to be there so he

753
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: can be over the ball if they've got a snap, spike.

754
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: At whatever, and they had one time out left.

755
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 3: Now motion by Boom CJ takes a snap, throws over

756
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 3: the middle, HiT's Noah Brown, breaks a tackle thirty No.

757
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: Twenty five, No twenty and he's wrapped up at the

758
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 3: twenty yard line.

759
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: Timeout called with five seconds to go.

760
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: They get the ball to Brown and they're ready to

761
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 3: try a field goal.

762
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: Deater is around the pile, but he knows he probably

763
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 2: shouldn't shove the pile, so he's looking at the clock

764
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 2: and you can see him looking at the clock like dude,

765
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: go down, go down, And eventually he goes down and

766
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: get the time out. And then not Kymie Fairbarn because

767
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: he had gotten hurt. In the Buccaneers game, matt A.

768
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 2: Moondola with the game winning.

769
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: Kick thirty eight yard field Gola tep from the left

770
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: hash mark for the victory for matt Amandola.

771
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, here's the spot, here's the kick.

772
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: Plenty of leg and it's good. The Texans walk off

773
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: with a win Cincinnati.

774
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: That was incredible.

775
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 3: I mean that that would that gives me chills, man,

776
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 3: because at the time, you're five and four, and that's

777
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: the first time I really thought playoffs.

778
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really.

779
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 3: Thought, you know what, the way you're playing now looks

780
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: like you could score on anybody in the light.

781
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: Right.

782
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 3: It looks like that, right, And you looked at the

783
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 3: schedule down the stretch and thought, hey, it's really possible.

784
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: Now.

785
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: It turned out to be a lot harder thing you

786
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: thought in the coming weeks because the loss to Jacksonville

787
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: Amadola off the crossbar. The game against the Jets, my gosh,

788
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 3: and I remember being personally sick for that game and

789
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: CJ gets concussed.

790
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 2: And that's one of my least favorite days on a sideline.

791
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: Ever.

792
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: That was a rough day. It was cold and miserable.

793
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: It was unseasonably awful. Actually it was December tenth. You know,

794
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 3: you look at how many games are left on the

795
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 3: schedule at that point, Yeah, you still have uh seven

796
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 3: games left and it's December tenth. Well you have playoff games. Yay,

797
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 3: five games left in the regular season. You know, that

798
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 3: game was really a terrible loss, but it sets up

799
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: the Tennessee game, and we can do a whole podcast.

800
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: On that as we look back on that season one game,

801
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: on that one.

802
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 3: Game with case Keenum starting in the oiler uniforms and

803
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 3: the thrill of winning that game, it felt like a

804
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 3: bowl game victory, and it was more of a continuation

805
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: of this could be a really special season. But at

806
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 3: the same time, Johnny, it wasn't stressing because I thought,

807
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 3: it's housemay man, this is year one, Dimico. We're not

808
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 3: supposed to be doing any other. It was all so enjoyable.

809
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 3: It always is to win, but even losing a game,

810
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 3: all right, it took a loss. It was it didn't

811
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 3: feel like the end of the world in a way

812
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 3: that it would a year later, a year after that,

813
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 3: where oh my gosh, you're always hanging on a thread.

814
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: So I pulled up that game book because you mentioned

815
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 2: it against the Jets, CJ. CJ has a concussion in

816
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos game the week before the Jets, Tank breaks

817
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: his leg so tanks out for the season. CJ gets

818
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: the concussion against the Jets. Do you remember what happened

819
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: three plays into that game against the Jets, Nico?

820
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: He goes out.

821
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 2: Do you remember what happened late in the game against

822
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 2: the Jets. Now this is a little bit more obscure.

823
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 2: That's CJ, Noah Brown, no Will Anderson Junior sprains his ankle.

824
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 2: So Mark, here's your inactive list for the game against

825
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 2: the Titans.

826
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: CJ.

827
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: Stroud, Nico Kom, Will Anderson Junior, Blake Cashman, and George Fant.

828
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: That's the inactive list. That's the inactive list. Everybody else

829
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: has to somehow everybody.

830
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: There's no Titus. I can't remember why Titus didn't play

831
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: in that game. But the line was Laramie, Juice, Deeter, Shack, Mason, Charlie.

832
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: Heck played right tackling that game and you won it.

833
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: Robert Woods and Noah Brown are your wide receivers, your fullbacks,

834
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: Andrew Beck and motor Devin Singletary, who has one of

835
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 2: the plays of the game late in that game, and

836
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 2: of course Case Keenan met quarterback and we thought in

837
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 2: that game.

838
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: With Case, okay, this is going to be interesting. Nobody knew.

839
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: Nobody knew Case was starting except the two of us.

840
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 2: We knew because we have been out to practice and

841
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: we got out there a little bit early one day

842
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: and we're kind of chopping up and we went, okay,

843
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: this could be interesting. But everybody assumed Davis is starting.

844
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: Case goes he gets to call late in a week.

845
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 2: Nobody really announced it. But Case gets the call to

846
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: start this game. And then he throws a pick six

847
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 2: early in the game.

848
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: And thought, oh, this might not work. This may not

849
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: go like we want.

850
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: And after Will Levis it's going a touchdown early and

851
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 2: then Elijah Moulten had the interception return.

852
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: We're down thirteen nothing.

853
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: Gosh, that's terrible. We're down thirteen to nothing. And then

854
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 2: Case started putting it together. He started making calls at

855
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. You could see him moving guys,

856
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 2: you could see him talking the offensive line. He put

857
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: on a masterclass of how you play the quarterback position.

858
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: And I just remember, this is incredible to watch. I

859
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 2: can't believe he's on the field. Right now, but he's

860
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: doing it. And then in the fourth quarter, I know

861
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: you remember this fourth quarter, he gets pressure and he

862
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 2: throws one just towards the Heavens.

863
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 3: To your receivers to the left, stacked second and ten

864
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: at the Tennessee eighteen.

865
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: Ktum other center woods in motion of the right. Katum

866
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: fakes the flip. Ktum plans he's got time to throw

867
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: over the middle, and.

868
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 3: Dalton Seltz has it inside the five yard lotch somehow

869
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 3: he comes down with the ball at.

870
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: Traffic first goal.

871
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 5: He took the ball away from Trey Avery.

872
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: That's just a McCrary.

873
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, he just wanted it more than the Tennessee defender.

874
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: He just reached in, grabbed it, took it away.

875
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz comes in and rips, literally rips the ball

876
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: away from McCrary. Stands up and he's holding it kind

877
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: of tucked up against his his forearm literally ripped it

878
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: away with one hand, showed the ref. The ref said

879
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: first down, and then case hit Noah Brown for the touchdown.

880
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 2: A little bit later, I just I see the ball

881
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: in the air, and I cannot say on FCC airwaves

882
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 2: what I was thinking at the time, but it was

883
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: not good because I'm thinking mccrey picked us soft and

884
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: this game's over, and I'm doing the immediate math of Okay,

885
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: how many timeouts do we have? Can we get the

886
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 2: ball back? How is this gonna happen? Can we do this?

887
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you know, maybe there's a chance.

888
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

889
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 2: And then Dal't came down with the ball and I

890
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: remember screaming a year, don't cut it, don't cut it.

891
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know how, but he caught it.

892
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: He did, and then we hit noah uh. And then

893
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: in overtime case, case makes that one play.

894
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: To motor one forty three to go in overtime, two

895
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 3: timeouts for the Texans case, Kingum shotgun first down Texans

896
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 3: at the Houston twenty Motor in the backfield, Case puts

897
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: the leg down. Kingum to throw Keenum pocket collapsing, scrambles

898
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 3: to the right.

899
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: Keenum flats the ball downfield.

900
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: He's got a man motor across the fifty forty right

901
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 3: sideline well in the Titan territory on the bounds at

902
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: the thirty eight yard line.

903
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: Big play in the sengletary.

904
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: A few plays later, now Kymi Fairbeard hits the game winner,

905
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: and then Andre dropped the famous lo about the jerseys.

906
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 3: Sixteen sixteen two seconds ago in overtime, fifty four yard

907
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 3: a tep left hash mark. Here's the snap, here's the spot,

908
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 3: here's the kick by fair Bear.

909
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: Es God, the Texans win.

910
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: Legendary fair Bear knocks it through from thefty four as

911
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 3: the Texans defeat.

912
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: Armor, Oilers put those uniforms back in the trunk. It

913
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: was so good, Andre was.

914
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: That was a great Andre season because Tanks making all

915
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: these plays, so the courting's coming out.

916
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: Who's house? Yeah?

917
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 3: And this oiler thing is a big Houston sticking point. Yes,

918
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 3: obviously with those uniforms, Man, what's that going to look

919
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 3: like this year when they're basically wearing those uniforms. They've

920
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 3: just adorned the Titan logo onto an Oiler uniform somehow

921
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 3: a new Titan logo anyway, But that was a game

922
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: within the season, a season to remember that might be.

923
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's certainly one of the most fun campaigns

924
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 3: I've ever had, Johnny, it's so good.

925
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: It's so good.

926
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: It would be a playoff victory at the end, where

927
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 2: rousing just over a team that'd beat you earlier in

928
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: a sty I mean, but we'd be remiss in talking

929
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: about twenty twenty three. We didn't leave you with this

930
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 2: one play from Indianapolis in Week eighteen, a winning game,

931
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 2: and on the very first play of the offensive from scrimmage,

932
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 2: CJ shotted Nico Collins and this would set the tone

933
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 2: for the entire night.

934
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 3: First down from the Houston twenty five yard line, Devin

952
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: and it's that time of year where we have to

953
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: put our legal caps on, especially as the Britain's this

954
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 2: Tearrian Arnold situation and you talk about riding the wave

955
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,959
Speaker 2: of emotions and everything that's going on. Earlier in the day,

956
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: Arnold was released on a million dollar bail. Now he'll

957
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 2: was he was not forced to wear an ankle monitor

958
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 2: or house arrests or anything of that magnitude, so he

959
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 2: technically could be permitted to practice and play for the

960
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: Lions pending the trial he was on.

961
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: Gonna be a trial for arm robbery.

962
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: He cannot be charges but posted bond a million dollars

963
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: out of jail. Okay, cool, I guess gonna practice in

964
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,479
Speaker 2: training camp until things happen. Well, a couple hours later,

965
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: the Lions said no, we're not doing this. Lions then

966
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: released Terran Arnold probably about two hours after that news.

967
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: So Terryan Arnold no longer with a team. And it's

968
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: it's interesting because there's been so much talk. Well, well,

969
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 2: if he bonds out, well then he could be a

970
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: training camp. But if he's got to wear the inkle

971
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: monitor and he doesn't get bond or bond is denied,

972
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 2: then he's not gonna be able to go training camp.

973
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 2: And then there's the NFL suspension all that kind of stuff.

974
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: And basically the rent Lines just said, Nat, we're good,

975
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: and I don't at this point see anybody jumping on

976
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 2: that right now saying hey, yeah, Terry.

977
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: And Arnol, we'll take a chance.

978
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 2: Everything that I've read about this situation, whoa boy now

979
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: he can'tch up to conclusions. But Terryan all released by
