I caught up 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: with John after the game on Thursday, and I was 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: going through my phone. I was like, man, I feel 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: like I'm missing something, you know, and you have those 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: moments where you feel like you're just there's something missing, 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: you can't quite figure it out, and it dawned on 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: me at some point today, I was like, man, I 12 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: never played my John Grenard interview. So we're gonna play 13 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: that John Grenard interview from after the game against the Panthers. 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: We'll have that for you a little bit later in 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: the show, but we're gonna kick it off with our 16 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: good friend, game Analysts called Football Analysts ninet eighty nine 17 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: Higher Trophy winner, our pal Andre. Where here we go, Dre. 18 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: It was Thursday night when the Texans took on the Panthers. 19 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: This Sunday they have the bills. We had a Sunday 20 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: where we could watch the rest of the league. What 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: was your general on some of the stuff you saw 22 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: yesterday around the NFL. I actually thought it was some 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: of the best pro football that I've seen in a 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: long long time. I mean, I know three games off 25 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: the top of my head that went right down to 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: the wire that ended on field goals. Well, I take 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: that back, Atlanta and the Giants. That was one that 28 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: was late in the game where the where the Falcons 29 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: got their first win of the season. Then Detroit. If 30 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: there's a team that can find a way, you know, 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: it's Detroit that gives up a sixty six yard field 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: goal to Justin Tucker with time expired. I mean, I 33 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: think that drive started with about twenty four seconds or 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: so on the clock and Lamar hit a big one 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: to Sammy Watkins another one got him down there, and 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: then Tucker took over and hit one end from sixty 37 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: six yards. And then of course the one last night 38 00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: with Green Bay and San Francisco with excuse me, green 39 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: Bay kick in a fifty one yard or with time expire. 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: It was some really really good football games yesterday. Okay, 41 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: this question is for both of you guys. I just 42 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: saw Darius Butler former corner in the NFL tweet this. 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: I think this is a great question because I despise kickers, 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: but there are two of them that if my life 45 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: is on the line, I'm thinking about. And he put 46 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: it perfectly, the fate of the human race is on 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: the line weather randomized fifty yard fuel goal. Both kickers 48 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: in their prime? Who kicks it? Adam Vine Terry or 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker? Vinetarry? Really Tucker? Yeah, I'm Tucker a stronger 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: leg you know, he doesn't fifty. You go sixty sixty six. 51 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: That's you're the man. You know. There's no doubting that anymore, 52 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: that that will never be touched. Okay, the Arizona Cardinals 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: at Cliff Kingsbury. He'll give you a couple opportunities at it. Trey, 54 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: would the distance matter if you made it forty five? 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: Would you would you ever change the Minitary? Because as 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: much as I've seen Minitary make those kicks, I'm still 57 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: going with Tucker. Don't matter the distance, with the distance matter, Yeah, yeah, 58 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: but there's some there are a couple of things you 59 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: got to clear up. You know, are we talking present 60 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: day guys? Are we talking guys in their prime and 61 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: their prime, their prime military versus Tucker forty five, I 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: might go vinitary anything over fifty, gimme Tucker. Okay, Well, 63 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: that was phenomenal that he made that kick. I felt 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: awful for Aaron Glenn, our buddy, who's the defensive coordinator 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: for Detroit. You have a number of former Texans players 66 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: who are coordinators, by the way, like Dave Ragone for Atlanta. 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to Detroit. Yeah, unbelievable. Yeah, and Demico Ryans the 68 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: DC for San Francisco and they lose to the Mason 69 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: Crosby fifty one yard er and Aaron Rodgers dray just 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: threading the needle to Davante Adams to get them going 71 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: last night in that final drive that was a whale 72 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: of a game as well. Well, yeah, that they needed 73 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: a drive starter, and I mean he it took some 74 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: some some courage to make that throw. And it was 75 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: not only a throw, it was it was absolutely perfect 76 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: to DeVante Adams and they were able. You know, you 77 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: got the offensive line on the same page. Hey, when 78 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: I complete this, we need to get to the line 79 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Spiked the ball and so we got another 80 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: chance for another player, so to get justin even closer 81 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: and after the second completion, I'm not sure who it 82 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: was too. When they got it, got up and spiked 83 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: it again. Uh that was when you knew that, you know. 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Uh, so you're talking Green Bay. What's the kicker? 85 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: H Mason Crosby? Both games just kind of running together. 86 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: But to give Mason Crosby a chance, and once he 87 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: hit the second when you kind of knew it was 88 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: over and and sure enough he drilled it right down 89 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: the middle. Both kickers from Texas, Justin Tucker, Mason Crosby. 90 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: We can we create kickers and quarterbacks in the state. 91 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Apparently I don't know things. Speaking of quarterback, Dre, I 92 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: don't know how much you had a chance to see 93 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: of the Chargers the Chiefs yesterday. But I've been thinking 94 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: about this for a while, just watching Justin Herbert last 95 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: year seeing it continue this year. How far down the 96 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: line do you go of picking quarterbacks ahead of Justin 97 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: Herbert that you say, Okay, I would absolutely take this 98 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: quarterback ahead of Herbert. I'd take this quarterback. And that's 99 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: about where I stop. How many quarterbacks do you think 100 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: it is? I e. How well do you think that 101 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: guy is playing? And how good is he? Yeah, without 102 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: really thinking through it a whole lot, you're probably gonna 103 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: go about five, five or six, and then his name 104 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: starts to circulate. I mean, because he's that good. I 105 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: just think he plays. Uh. I mean it's crazy to 106 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: say it, but they don't get a lot of love 107 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: in in LA because it's the Chargers moving from San 108 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: die I think you still in San Diego, there'd be 109 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: a lot more recognition. But uh, people just don't realize 110 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: how good he is. And he stood tot to toe 111 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: in Kansas City in a road game. Uh and and 112 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: dealt his card yesterday as well as anybody. And the 113 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: Chargers defensively ate credit him. They picked off Mahomes late, 114 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: they were able to drive it down and not just 115 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: kick the field goal, run the clock down. He punches 116 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 1: it in for the big one, uh, to make sure 117 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: that there was no doubt left. So yeah, he's Uh, 118 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: he is matured in a very short period of time. 119 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: And uh and he's one of the one of the 120 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: better better quarterbacks in the league, certainly top ten. Trey. 121 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of these rookie quarterbacks because the 122 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Texans have one, and he started on Thursday night and 123 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: it turns out he has better numbers than a lot 124 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: of the other guys who have been starting and throw 125 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: picks all over the place. And look, I mean, maybe 126 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: Mills has that kind of performance in him on Sunday. 127 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: Who knows. I'm hoping he doesn't. But I find it 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: interesting that people are clamoring for some of these rookies, 129 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: especially let's say Trey Lance and San Francisco. When Garoppolo 130 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: plays a really good game last night and leaves the 131 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: field with the lead thirty seven seconds, way too much 132 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: time for Aaron Rodgers, we get into that. But leaves 133 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: the field with the lead and plays really well. And 134 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: there's more to it than just taking the snap and 135 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: even making a throw or running with the ball right. 136 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: There's protections, there's things you got to recognize. And Garoppolo, 137 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: a veteran, played really well in the second half to 138 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: get the forty nine ers the league. The play they 139 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: ran outside of it being a quarterback, just about any 140 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: skill position player and I'm talking about San Francisco could 141 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: run it with the one that Trey Land scored on, 142 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: because there's really no thought in doing that. It's just 143 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: take a snap, let's get around the left side, and 144 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: boy he get a block, a massive block out on 145 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: the edge from the left tackle. But you know, when 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: you look at it, just kind of be careful what 147 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: you're asking for fans. You know, there's a lot of 148 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: development that needs to go into a guy being absolutely 149 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: raised Davis Mills ready, No he's not. It's just Bob 150 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: because uh, he it's his turn up, because you know 151 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: he was drafted in that spot. He's second team and 152 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: but he's far from ready. Uh. They do a lot 153 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: of good things to to to really take advantage of 154 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: what he does well and what he knows within the offense. 155 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: They're not calling a game for him like they're calling 156 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: it for Tarrod, because Tard knows the entire system. He 157 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: knows he has experience, he knows what the defense is doing. 158 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: Not only do you need to know what you're doing 159 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: when you break the huddle and how to call the 160 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: play out. He can do that, but it's what what 161 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: are the other guys on the other side doing that 162 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: give you the advantage? Where are you going with a football? 163 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: What's your pre snapper that gives you the advantage when 164 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: they rotate? Where are you going with a football? Those things? 165 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: So he uh, he's a ways off. And I think 166 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: the same thing happened in Chicago with Justin Fields when 167 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: they put up what was a six points yesterday. Zach 168 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: Wilson has been it almost seems like I don't want 169 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: to say that doesn't care, but he comes. He keeps 170 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: mentioning this learning and we're gonna get better, and you 171 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: just keep throwing interceptions. Well, part of that is, let's 172 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: cut down on the interception so that we know that 173 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: you're learning. And it's it's disappointing what's going on in 174 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: New York with the Jets, well Western New York. It's 175 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: not disappointing, Dre because Josh Allen with the Bills scored 176 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: seventy eight points to last two weeks. He is no 177 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: longer wyoming Josh. He is full on MVP candidate Josh Allen. 178 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: How tough a challenge is it? And I don't want 179 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: to ask why, but what is it that you've seen 180 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen makes him so tough? I think he 181 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: has full grasp of everything. And like I said, when 182 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: you know what defenses are doing and how they're trying 183 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: to defend you, you can attack in certain ways. And 184 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: he's got a bunch of weapons. They added Emmanuel Sanders 185 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: opposite to Fan Diggs. Beasley's there in the slot in 186 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: a singletary. And now Zach moss Is is healthy, so 187 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: they've got a running game and that allows him to 188 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: play freely. And then if all that you take all 189 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: that away, even Dawson Knox the tight end, you take 190 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: all those things away, he can pull it down and 191 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: run with it. And he did that yesterday on a 192 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: couple of occasions for touchdowns. So he was a fantasy 193 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: football owner's dream yesterday. And if you're playing against him, 194 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: he was your nightmare. Well, all of a sudden, here 195 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: come the Texans into Buffalo next week, and this will 196 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: be a tall order. They're good on both sides of 197 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: the ball. They play well on special teams. You got 198 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: to give it up to the Bills. Someone said that, oh, 199 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: he's not off to the start that he had last 200 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: year after two games. It's two games. But then you 201 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: tell me that he scored seventy eight points in the 202 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: last two weeks. He's not that far off if he 203 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: If he's off, so give me the off. Josh Allen 204 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: over the guy that's that's certainly dealing the cars. The 205 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: last two weeks. Well, it's only three weeks in, and 206 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: I say only because especially now with seventeen games, And 207 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVay was saying after the Rams did what they 208 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: did to Tampa Bay said, look, how many people remember 209 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: who is three and oh last year? It means nothing. 210 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: You know, you still have a ton of games to 211 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: play here and you have to play well. And even 212 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: if you're halfway through, I mean, even if you have 213 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: four games left, those are the big four at the 214 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: end that determine your positioning. So you have to think 215 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: of it like that. How can the Texans run the 216 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: football better? I mean, I guess it's a tough question 217 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: to answer on the fly here, but what can they 218 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: do to try to get the ball moving on the ground, 219 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: because it's crucial. I think it's consistency. Sometimes when you 220 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: have a bunch of toys, you tend to play with 221 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: them all and then not, you know, one doesn't become 222 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: your favorite. And they've they've done that. You know, Scottie 223 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: Phillips was up this week, so I think, oh is it? 224 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: All five backs were active against Carolina and so you know, 225 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: when you have that, it takes a guy to get 226 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: in a rhythm and then sync with an offensive line, 227 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: and so you got to commit to one. Yeah, there's 228 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: some things on third downs that they could do with 229 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. I think in Rex burkehead, but I don't 230 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: think Philip Lindsay's the same type of back that Mark 231 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: Ingram is. So you're calling plays between the tackle, he's 232 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: a little lighter in the pants. He's getting bounced around 233 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: a little bit, and for no gains, trying to bounce 234 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: runs outside that aren't there. You got to figure out 235 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: where the consistency comes from. You're not changing the guys 236 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: up front. They're gonna block the same way, but you 237 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: need to figure out who can get in sync with him, 238 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: who can get in rhythm with them and and help 239 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: this running game. In my eyes, it's been Ingram the 240 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: first couple of games. He seems to get in the 241 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: rhythm and then you go, he goes to the sideline 242 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: and sits for the next four or five plays, and 243 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: then you know he comes back in. So you can't 244 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: get hot that way. Nobody gets hot. Got to figure 245 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: that thing out. Okay, I feel like I'm walking over 246 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: and I'm putting the title list right on the tea 247 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: and handing you the big dog and allowing you to eat. Yeah, 248 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: I know, because I'm about to ask you about Matt 249 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: Stafford in the Los Angeles Rams and bowing at the 250 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: feet of Saint mcvaigh today. And maybe maybe it's real, 251 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: But this marriage dre people talking about an offseason. I 252 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: kept thinking, a you know, come on, man, he's good. 253 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: But it is, oh my goodness, when you throw in 254 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson with cup and with Robert Woods, maybe it 255 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: is for real. How scary are the Rams right now? 256 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: At Stafford at quarterback, It's it's for real. Johnny and 257 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: their weapons around him, protection there like he never had 258 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: in Detroit. Um. You know, he's young enough where you know, 259 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this yesterday. How much longer can 260 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: he play? And can he play at this level? Well, 261 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: if they're committed to keeping uh the attitude of going 262 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Not a lot of teams think 263 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: that way. Fans fans think every team has a chance 264 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl. Not every owner wants 265 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl because that costs a 266 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: little money to ramp up and be competitive every single year, 267 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: year in and year out. Some are trying to actually 268 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: come in under the salary cap because they want more money. 269 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: I know that's hard to believe, but it's out there. 270 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: But the Rams aren't one of those teams. They are 271 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: trying to legitimately compete every single year to go to 272 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and so much so that I don't 273 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: think they have a first round pick till twenty twenty four, 274 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: trying to get it right at quarterback, making sure, you know, 275 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: other pieces are in place to where they can make 276 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: a strong run, and committed to getting Aaron Donald there 277 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: as well. And so when you look at it, I 278 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be good for a long time. I 279 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: think Matthew Stafford. Mark knows my affection for Matthew Stafford. 280 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: There was a huge trade that I brought up to 281 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: him a few years ago that I thought the Texans 282 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: should make with the Lions because they changed coaches that 283 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: they seem to be starting over. I floated it to Mark, 284 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: where you think about this, I think the Lions would 285 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: do it and give away another pick in the process 286 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: to get you know, Matthew Stafford or the Lions might 287 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: give one away. And it just obviously it didn't. It 288 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: didn't grow legs. But that was one I thought with May. 289 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: That's how much I like Matthew Savage. I think he's 290 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: one of the top two armed talents in the NFL. 291 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: And uh, we've got to see it on full display 292 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: yesterday against Tampa Bay. Oh yeah, you just see the 293 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: way he throws the football. Deshan Jackson, My goodness, you 294 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: know you talk about retro Jackson just throw it up there. 295 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: Certain plays you just throw it up and let them 296 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: run underneath it. It's beautiful. But he's a whole lot 297 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: more than that. And McVeigh directing the offense, They've got 298 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: something going on right now. That division is ridiculous, how 299 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: unfortunately all those teams. How about the energy of McVeigh. 300 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean he goes down all the way to the 301 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: tunnel to meet uh Deshaun Jackson and give him a 302 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: high five. And I mean players feed from that kind 303 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: of stuff. They know that you're invested in winning and 304 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: you're all about them and things of that sort. You know, 305 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: he's still young and at the thirty five to do it, 306 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: but he's in full sprint mode. As the Shaan's breaking away. 307 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if to pick the past it even 308 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: landed in his hands and mcvass sprinting down the Sideline's 309 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: that stuff's contagious last night. By the way, guys, it's 310 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers and Packers forty nine score thirty 311 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: seven seconds left. Field goal beats you, and it's not 312 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: a tie game. So a field goal beats you. Now 313 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: here's the situation. You kick off touchback. I'm thinking, I 314 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: don't think it's inherently wrong to do that, but no 315 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: time comes off the clock. Aaron Rodgers has thirty seven 316 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: seconds to get you in range for Crosby. I don't 317 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: like this at all. I'm kicking off and making you 318 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: return it because odds are I'm an opinion side of 319 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: the twenty five anyway, and we're gonna burn a few seconds. 320 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: And that's a few pressure seconds there that Rogers doesn't have. 321 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: Am I crazy? No? I agree? And I was shocked 322 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: when they kicked it off, and I was like, there's 323 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: no return here because that's five seconds there, and to 324 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: hold on to that you can run one extra play. 325 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: And sure enough, they kicked it through the back of 326 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: the end zone. But I was I thought for sure 327 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: they would get a squib kick, run a little bit 328 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: of the clock and uh, and then go from there. 329 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: But he obviously left him two seconds or three seconds 330 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: too long, and he was able to take care of 331 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: business in the process. It was it was amazing. I 332 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: thought it was going to be a huge win for Garoppolo. 333 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: But then you don't feel sorry for San Francisco because 334 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: they're sitting there at two and one, and I was 335 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: just wondering what was going to be said when the 336 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: game's over it and they just had it driven down 337 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: down the field. San Francisco scores and Garoppolo throws the 338 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: winning touch, all of it, you know, And sure enough 339 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: he changes the narrative at the snap of a finger. 340 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: And when it happened that, you know, the kickoff, I 341 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: had to sit down because it was moving around like, oh, 342 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: this one's over. And when it happened that way, I 343 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: had to sit down because I'm like, wait a minute, 344 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: I got to see what happens here. And sure enough 345 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: he delivered. Yep, he sure did. By the way, the 346 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: Stones of War goes to Brandon Staley, the head coach 347 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: of the La Chargers. My goodness, fourth down, Oh we 348 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: got a penalty fourth and eighth, what go ahead? And 349 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: as I'm watching that, I'm watching that this is for 350 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: both of you guys. I'm watching that and I'm thinking 351 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: he's absolutely a thousand percent dead on doing the right thing. 352 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: For the same reason that we're talking about with Roger. 353 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: Give him the homes the ball, not give the homes 354 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: any opportunity to get the ball back down a field goal, 355 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: because he can get him there. Drake, what do you 356 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: think about the way that Brandon Stalely handled that situation. 357 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: I loved it, and he showed confidence in his team. 358 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: He showed confidence in his quarterback. I mean all the 359 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: way down to the final play that they had when 360 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 1: when Herbert throws the touchdown pass. I mean all of it, 361 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: all all included, because that's how you have to beat 362 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City, especially in their place. If you go there 363 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: trying to protect the lead, any lead that you might 364 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: have gotten, you forget it's a sixty minute game, and 365 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: you might already he might have played half of it, 366 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: forty five minutes of it, and you gotta whatever it is, 367 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: double digit lead, it doesn't matter. They're going to come back. 368 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna make it a game before it's over, and 369 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: you gotta figure out a way to knock him the 370 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: hell out. And that's exactly what he did. I mean, 371 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: kudos to him for taking the approach knowing this is 372 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: how we got to beat this team. And he did it. 373 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: By the way, Patrick Mahomes is fantastic, no doubt about it. 374 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: But the no look pass that got picked off, you 375 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: faked out your own teammate. You didn't need to know. 376 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: Look at either wide open player over the middle. Hey, 377 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: stop with the highlight reel. Just hey, that dude gets 378 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: paid too. Yeah, all right, I know, and you should 379 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: know what's coming from Mahomes and Nola pass. But it's 380 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: like we've all played pickup basketball where you're playing with 381 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: that really good passer and you get hit in the 382 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: face of the ball. Well maybe not you, guys, but 383 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: I have Ray quickly here Clemson. How bad is it Well, 384 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: it's obviously. And the thing about it is, when you 385 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: start looking across the ACC there's some good teams a 386 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: top to bottle. I was just in an email exchange 387 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: this morning with a commissioner who stopped by the booth. 388 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: Uh and uh. And we had a chance to talk 389 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: to him on Friday night, but I congratulated him on 390 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: the league itself, from top to bottom. Uh. Anybody could 391 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: be had any week and that's this year, you know, 392 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: he and I told him he should be proud of 393 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: what what what's on the field and the you know 394 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: from all the football programs, and it's a it's a 395 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: pleasure for us to get to see the acc and 396 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna step out of it, uh this week when 397 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: we go to Tulsa and take and I've got Tulsa 398 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: and the Coogs, so you know, a little bit different flavor. 399 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: But it's it's a league from top to bottom where 400 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: I think it's anybody's deal. Wake for us is undefeated. 401 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: They've got a bunch of starters back eleven starters, come 402 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: back on offense to beat Virgina on the defensive side. 403 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: Virginia is a talent to team. North Carolina seems to 404 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: have have wakened themselves up. Louisville a dynamic quarterback. And 405 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: you start looking through these teams, all of them have 406 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: good quarterbacks which give me a chance to win games 407 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: on Saturday. So it's a it's a competitive league league 408 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: and a fun fun league to call on Friday nights. Okay, 409 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: this question for both of you, you've got maybe a 410 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: ten second response. Okay, USC for State or the U, 411 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: what about them? You get to take over as the 412 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: leader of that program. You take over as the leader 413 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: of that program USC Florida State or the U. Which 414 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: one you picking? Florida State State right now? Yeah, that's 415 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: the point us. They think they can win every right now. 416 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: I mean they should be winning national championship. So that's 417 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 1: that's that's a little different deal. I think byam he's 418 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: turned into the kind of job where if you win 419 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: nine ten games a year, you're a superstar, right, so 420 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: you don't have to win championships there anymore. Maybe Florida 421 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: State's gonna be the same. My goodness, what a tough start, Drey, 422 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, look forward to catch it up later 423 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: in the week.

Sean McClean here he is. Your 460 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on what you saw yesterday around the NFL. Your 461 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: general takeaway, Well, first of all, there was some great games. 462 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: One of the games that was not great was the 463 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: team that the Texans are going to play next Buffalo. 464 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: The Bills just blew away Washington and Josh Allen three 465 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: for three hundred fifty eight yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, 466 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: had a rating of one twenty nine eight. And that's 467 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: where the Texans are going for this next game, and 468 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: they're legitimate Super Bowl contender and they won that game 469 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: forty three to twenty one. The game last night, another 470 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: spectacular Prime Time finished. I thought that was tremendous watching 471 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers do what he did. And something I'm writing 472 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: about tomorrow rookie quarterbacks. You know, there's I've seen. I've 473 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: had people email me that they know after six quarters, 474 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: Davis Mills will never been a starter in the NFL. 475 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, well, that means Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, 476 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: justin Pills, they'll never be starters. And because the rookies 477 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: really struggled, and the one that played the best was 478 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: Davis Mills. And so it's amazing how people already know that. 479 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: And I've gone back and I'm gonna look, it's what 480 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: some of the best quarterbacks did, you know early in 481 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: the first three games of their careers. But that was 482 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: something that stood out to me as well, was the 483 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: rookies have really struggle. I think Phills in one they 484 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: had one yard passing at one yard passing with the Bears. 485 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: And I tell you something else I thought was interesting 486 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: last week, Miles Garrett complained publicly about how the Texans 487 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: had chipped him a lot with other blockers, and he 488 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: Learnie Tunsil tweeted back, Yeah, well what about when there 489 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: weren't any chips? And I think it was Brian Baldinger 490 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: did a film study about what a great job Tunsel 491 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: did against Garrett. And then Garrett had four and a 492 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: half sacks yesterday, and I'm thinking, why wouldn't the Browns, 493 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: I mean, who the Browns player forgot? Oh, Scot the Bears. 494 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't the Bears use the same strategy because they 495 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: had Jason Peters, who's like fifty seven, playing left tackle 496 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: trying to block him. So I think Garrett's four and 497 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 1: a half sacks were a team record, but that just 498 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: shows what a great job the Texans did and controlling 499 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: one of the league's premier pass rushers and just a 500 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: fantastic job. And then that sixty six field goal by 501 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker. My goodness, he's at He's beating the Lions 502 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: on last second field goals there of sixty and sixty six, 503 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: and I thought that was just amazing. And then I 504 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: watched the Chargers beat the Cheese, so it was a 505 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: It's a fun day when you get to sit around 506 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: and watch football all day, And to me, people are 507 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: talking about how hot the Broncos are they're three and 508 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: oh they've beaten the Giants, the Jaguars, and the Jets 509 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: who are o and nine, and the Bengals going to 510 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and winning by fourteen. You know, how in the 511 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: world did the Steelers start the season winning annely at 512 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo and now they've lost their last two at home 513 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: and the Bengals are two and one. I really wanted 514 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: the Lions to win yesterday, first of all, because I 515 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: like Dan Campbell. Oh my gosh, I really want And 516 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: I also wanted to be able to say, look, Cincinnati 517 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: Bengals are in the first place. And oh, by the way, 518 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase apparently has learned to catch a ball without stripes, 519 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: so I think he's proven he's pretty good from that perspective, John, 520 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: The one game that I had, other than the Bills, 521 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: probably the most interest in was the Titans and the Colts, 522 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: seeing how two division teams were gonna play. The Titans 523 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: end up getting the win. Derrick Henry has a big day. 524 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: I said to Mark earlier, it looks like the Cults 525 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: are just playing slow. What do you think of that game? John? 526 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: The Titans taken on the Colts could sorrow and three 527 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: first time since two thousand and eleven. It's uh, I'll 528 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: tell you what it it was strange. The Titans committed three 529 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 1: turnovers and they won, first time they've done that, committed 530 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: at least three turnovers and win since two thousand and seven, 531 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: And that that just struck me as a very very 532 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: unusual statistic. And Colts Carson Wentz played no touchdowns, no interceptions, 533 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: but didn't do much. Their running game was totally shut down. 534 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: They lost Quinton Nelson to an ankle injury. He had 535 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: to be carted off. They lost a couple of other 536 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: players too, And so yeah, I would like to see 537 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: now and then I think we got to talk about 538 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: the Rams have a chance to be the second consecutive 539 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium 540 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: after the way they beat up on the Buccaneers. And 541 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford would have to be the early leader in 542 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: the vote for MVP because he has gotten off to 543 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: an incredible start and he's never ad to play games 544 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: like this early in the season, played defending Super Bowl 545 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: team for your team chance to remain unbeaten, and they 546 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: were just tremendous. And Stafford had another great game. He 547 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: threw for let's see three and forty three yards, four touchdowns, 548 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: no interceptions and a rating of one thirty four. He 549 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: has got to feel like he died and went to 550 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: heaven in la And then Tom Brady through four and 551 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: thirty two yards. Now we've got Brady's returned to Foxborough 552 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,479 Speaker 1: and I know people up there going crazy about it 553 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: because and the Patriots are one and two mac Jones 554 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: through I think three interceptions and and uh the Bucks 555 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: coming off a loss, no telling how bad they're gonna 556 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: beat the Patriots. Do we now have to bow and 557 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: kiss the feet of Saint mcvagh again? I mean, are we? 558 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: Are we at this again? Now that McVeigh is this 559 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: genius because of the marriage with Matt Stafford, I swear 560 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna hear about it all week. The Rams are 561 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: three and old. McVeagh and Stafford. This marriage just fantastic. 562 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: You know, I'd like that marriage to turn into Dennis Rodman, 563 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: uh and Carmen Electra and then see how we go 564 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: from there, because he won't. God, it's they're they're really 565 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: fun to watch. John's there and they Deshan Jackson, they 566 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, he disappeared for a while. He hadn't done 567 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: squat he gotten hurt, he got him. I can't remember. 568 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: He's at off the field issues. He just and he's 569 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: in his thirties. He had three catches for Hunter and 570 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: twenty yards in a seventy five yard touchdown. And but 571 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: they you know, could the Rams undoing be their running game? 572 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: They rush for they ran twenty four times, seventy six 573 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: yards three point two of carry. They're leading rush for 574 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,239 Speaker 1: Sarny Michelle twenty carry sixty seven yards. Don't you have 575 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball better than that? 576 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: And I don't see that they will run it better 577 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: than that with their injuries. It's all gonna be on Stafford. 578 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: But at some point they're going to be playing outdoors. 579 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: And it's hard to win a Super Bowl with not 580 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: having at least a decent running game and they don't 581 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: run now, yeah, at least for their sake, they have 582 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: an outstanding defense led by outstanding playmakers. General, let's talk 583 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: about the texans inability to run the ball right now. 584 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: This team is designed around running the football. These running backs, 585 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: the offensive line, they're just not getting production on the 586 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: ground and they desperately need it right now. What's it 587 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: going to take well. I wrote a column about that 588 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: for Saturday. Looking at their stats. They were fortunate to 589 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: go up against Jacksonville in that first game, and they 590 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: pounded the Jaguars. Now, the only thing I can think 591 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: of in these last two games, they've gone up against 592 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: two teams that are five and one, two teams that 593 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: have really good defenses. But you know, seventeen times for 594 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: forty two yards two point five and carry with a 595 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: long run of seven yards, that's not right. And they've 596 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: gotten good pass protection. You know, the two sacks in 597 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: the first two games were both the quarterbacks fall and 598 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: this one they gave up four and Davis Mills probably 599 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: was responsible for two. So if pass protections not easy, 600 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, you take Tyrod Taylor out of that running game, 601 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: that changes the entire defensive strategy. They don't have to 602 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: worry about him bootlegging and running going around a corner 603 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: like he did on the touchdown run at Cleveland when 604 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: he aggravated the handstring injury. He'd suffered the same series. 605 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: And so if you think about their bags, mark Ingram, 606 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: David Johnson, Philip Lindsay. You know Lindsey showed on the 607 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: screen pass at Caroline at Cleveland when he scored on 608 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: twenty two yards touchdown. He's he can make moves, he 609 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: can do well when he gets an open fill, but 610 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: he's not getting in the open fiel. He's getting crushed. 611 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: And what's strange about the Carolina game. I'm thinking, Okay, 612 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: Caroline has given up forty six yards, russy, what are 613 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: they gonna do first two plays on a second series, 614 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: six yards by Ingram, six yards by Ingram. I'm thinking, Wow, 615 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna wear them down with a running game, and 616 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: that was about the highlight, and so I don't know 617 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: what they do. I think maybe I thought they might 618 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: throw more short passes on first down for like four yards, 619 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: but until they proved that they're gonna keep the defenses 620 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: are going to stack against the run until mill Strow's 621 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: cruising can throw it down the field. And Mills was 622 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: not the reason they lost that game. You know, they 623 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: lost the game because they couldn't run. And then it's 624 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: amazing despite all that, it still was seventeen nine in 625 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter until they scored on that last touchdown 626 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: drive and Darnald scored on the one yard run. So 627 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: they were in the last two games and if they 628 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: could run it a little better, it would help, but 629 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: they got to make a tough trip to Buffalo. Then 630 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: they get the Patriots, and after that Patriot game, I 631 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: think it's four or five on the road. John, what's 632 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: rolling the Kansas City Chiefs? Isn't that funny? Are you 633 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: to say that? What's wrong with the Kansas City Chiefs? It? 634 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: You know, I watched I was watching the Ryder Cup, 635 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite events, and then later 636 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: I was watching the Astros, and then I was switching 637 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 1: back and forth to the Chiefs and I saw them 638 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: get down. I think it was fourteen and nothing, and 639 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: I thought, okay. When they came back, thinking okay, they're 640 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 1: gonna win it. And then the Chargers committed a bunch 641 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: of pre snap penalties I think three on two drives 642 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: late that hurt him and Clyde Edgewards. Hilaire had a 643 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: couple of fumbles. They just don't seem in sink alst 644 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: through two interceptions, He's already got more than he had 645 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: in December of last year. And Justin Herbert has been fantastic. 646 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: Four touchdowns a rating of one twenty five. He was 647 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: tremendous and looking at the rookie quarterbacks who are struggling now. 648 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 1: The performance by Justin Herbert last year when he was 649 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: offensive Rookie of the Year and Pat Hamilton was his 650 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: quarterback coach, that just shows that just impresses me even 651 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: more about the job he did last year. And you 652 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: think the Dolphins they got two a ton of aloa 653 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: two of courses an hour. Now he's got rib injuries 654 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: and Herbert is just tearing it up. Don't you know 655 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: the Dolphins wish they had taken Justin Herbert And now 656 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: there's all to talk about. Miami's still trying. Still one 657 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 1: that you had to show on Watson. But the Chargers, 658 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 1: if you watched that game yesterday, overcoming all the mistakes 659 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: that they made and capitalizing on the mistakes that the 660 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: Cheese made, that was pretty darn impressive. And then the 661 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: general mentioned he was pretty upset about having the Chargers 662 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 1: and Chiefs on on k show you the CBS affiliate here, 663 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 1: and I thought that was as sexy as it got. 664 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: That game was unbelievable, but I had red zone going, man, 665 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: Holy cow, red zones unbelievable.

Our next guest played in that game and 707 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: was an absolute superstar at University of Florida University of 708 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: Louisville before that. And that's John Grenard. He had strip 709 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: sacked the other night. I thought played very well in 710 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,760 Speaker 1: his first action in twenty twenty one. After the game, 711 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: I had a chance to catch up with him, and 712 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: I know you're going We'll wait, John. The game was 713 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: on Thursday. You're playing on Monday. Well, this is when 714 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: I would probably play an interview from the post game anyways. 715 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: But also I had forgotten that I got in the 716 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: interview because it was Thursday. That might as will be 717 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: four years ago, much less four days ago. So here 718 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: you go. I caught up with John Garnard after the 719 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: game on Thursday. All right, guys, down out said locker 720 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: room with John Grenard. First of all, how do you feel? 721 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: First game? Good? How you feel? Yeah? Good, I'm just 722 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: getting the legs back upon of me. I think we 723 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: did a good job overall, just got to finish an 724 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: execute better on everything else. So I think it was 725 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: pretty sid Sorry, how do you feel about pass for us? 726 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 1: She got there to the quarterback. When you're getting there, 727 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: are you're thinking and on the football? Are you just 728 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: thinking get a piece of him. What are you thinking 729 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: when you're getting after him? Honestly, I mean obviously we're 730 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: already there, so you don't honestly know the tackle can 731 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: be secured. But overall, the quarterbacks the worst person with 732 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: football security. So I'm going for the ball anyway we can. 733 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: Um if you don't get there, obviously, just wrap them up. 734 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: Make the quarterback feel you, but definitely going for that football. 735 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: You get three sacks as a team tonight, you get 736 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 1: the strip fumble, almost got the football there. What's it 737 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: say about the pass rush? Because I do a lot 738 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: of blitz in, You're doing a lot of twisting stunts. 739 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: You're just getting to the quarback. It say about your 740 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 1: pass rush just testament should that We've just been working 741 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,359 Speaker 1: on that a lot every day in the day out. 742 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: We're just getting better and better. Understand we have a 743 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: lot better to do a lot more to do, a 744 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: lot more in us and I think that's just something 745 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: that taste. We just got to keep working in everything 746 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: else to fall in the play. You get a mini 747 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: buy over the weekend, How good is it to get 748 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: maybe a day off, just get some rest, lying to couch, 749 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: maybe watching Gators, may guards. What do you got this weekend? 750 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm chilling Like you said, I'm I'm a 751 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: home body, so when I get time to get off 752 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: my feet, I got off my feet.

We 755 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,919 Speaker 1: have all not looking too far ahead. But Buffalo is next. 756 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: You go up there to take on one of the 757 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: better offenses in the league. What's gonna be the key 758 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: to kind of get things back going the way you 759 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: guys want to get them. We just gotta play our ball. 760 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean today, this wasn't our best performance, so we 761 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: have a lot more in the tank. I just think 762 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: that we just have to execute when the time at us, 763 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: and I think it just we just have to get executed. 764 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 1: And that's bottom of hand. On this league, everybody knows 765 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: that everybody's good gonna get their best every day, and 766 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: especially a promtong game like this. We just got execute 767 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: and play, so I thought we'll be all right. John, 768 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Thank you, Thank you again. I love 769 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: seeing that man making plays for this defense, and hopefully 770 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,439 Speaker 1: it's going to continue putting his hand in the dirt, 771 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: going to fund in the football, taking away from Sam Darnold, 772 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: and the only thing that would have made it better 773 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: is if he would have ended up with the football 774 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: or somebody would have. But look, he went got the 775 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: football out. I think he's going to continue to do 776 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: some good things for this team. He stiffed out a 777 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: screen at one point and shut that down. I can't 778 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: wait to see what John Garnard continues to do in 779 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: this pass rush continues to do. You heard David Culley 780 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: talk about it. I asked him about that during the 781 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: Coaches Show and he just said, look at depth, it's 782 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: really kind of coming to the forefront. And you saw 783 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: it a second quarter that pass rush pressure amped up 784 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 1: from everybody by Lopez getting pressure, Jacob Martin, John Grenard 785 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: has his sack, Ross Blacklock, Whitney, Merciless and Charles a 786 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: men who met at the quarterback for one. So a 787 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: lot of things going on with that pass rush that 788 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 1: are pretty good. In John Grenard is right there in 789 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: the middle of it. A big thanks to Mark, to 790 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: John McClain, to Andre Ware and to John Grenard and 791 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: to all of you for listen. Thank you so much. 792 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow and as always, go Texans.
