12
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 5: Well, it's good to be here.

13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: Congratulations on the Week one win. We'll get to Week two,

14
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: but let's put week one to bed first. That was

15
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 3: a great victory on the road against the divisional opponent.

16
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, anytime you go on the road and can win

17
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 6: in a division certainly has positive implications. So ultimately we

18
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 6: were able to make a few more plays and the

19
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 6: Colts did the culture a good football team. We talked

20
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 6: about that going into the game. I think the game

21
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 6: kind of played out the way we thought. The explosives

22
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 6: were part of the game, tackling was a part of

23
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 6: the game. Did some things well in some areas, some

24
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 6: other areas need to clean up, but overall, it's good

25
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 6: to get started with a win and get off on

26
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 6: the right foot.

27
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: Nick, I don't know if we've talked about this in

28
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: the off season, but acquiring chill mixing and how that

29
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: kind of came to be, because of course, when you

30
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: live on Twitter, you're like, oh, the Bengals are gonna

31
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: release Joe Mixon, and then all of sudden you look

32
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: up you're like, no, the Texans have traded a seventh

33
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: round pick to go get Joe Mixon.

34
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: How did that all come to be?

35
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: And why was Joe kind of in your crosshairs as

36
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: the guy you wanted to bring here.

37
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say that particular situation was probably unique.

38
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 6: I'd say that time of year is very fluid. There's

39
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 6: a lot of transactions that take place. There's a lot

40
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 6: of movement that starting players are leaving teams, free agents

41
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 6: are going through other teams players or teams are releasing players.

42
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 5: So keep the exact timing.

43
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 6: Of it was it was overnight they were announced that

44
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 6: they were moving on from Joe or they're going to

45
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 6: release Joe. So anytime that something is done after the

46
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 6: four o'clock or three o'clock Central time period. It's not

47
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 6: going to go on the wire and it's not going

48
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 6: to be official until the following day. At the three

49
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 6: oclus you have about twenty four hours. So we were

50
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 6: kind of working through that whole process. We were involved,

51
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 6: you know, main attempt to resign Motor. You know, we're

52
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 6: involved in some of the arly stuff as well. That

53
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 6: was a position that we knew we were going to

54
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 6: add a player at some point in some capacity, So

55
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 6: when the opportunity presented itself with mixing, it was something

56
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 6: that we discussed internally. We had the discussion actually that morning.

57
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 6: Coaching staff kind of went through it on their end.

58
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 6: Demique and I had a conversation about it and then

59
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 6: kind of made a decision, well, look, if this is

60
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 6: what the cost is, then what might be worth doing

61
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 6: because we thought we had the ability to acquire a

62
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 6: player that everybody liked, that we thought could help our

63
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 6: football team. So it took a little bit of work,

64
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 6: so there's some moving parts on that. So we were

65
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 6: able to you know, we gave up the compensation. Then

66
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 6: part of that too was the contract as well. I mean,

67
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 6: Joe's been a good football player for a number of years,

68
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 6: been very consistent knock on Wood, He's been a pretty

69
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 6: durable guy. I've talked about this at different points, not

70
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 6: too dissimilar. We went through this with Jason mccordy when

71
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 6: we acquired him in New England. He was released, but

72
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 6: it was kind of in that window, so instead of

73
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 6: essentially when a player gets released, they become a free agent,

74
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 6: so you're ether to have to compete for that player

75
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 6: on the open market, or if you want to to

76
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 6: obtain his services, you know, maybe you reach an agreement

77
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 6: or give up some kind of draft compensation. So any end,

78
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 6: it worked out the way that you know, we had

79
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 6: hoped relative to Joe, and Cincinnati was able to attain

80
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 6: the seventh round pick at draft compensation. We were able

81
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 6: to get the services of the player that we liked,

82
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 6: and you know, we're glad that Joe's here in a building.

83
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: Can you discuss how you got the yards on the

84
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: ground because it's everybody working together. Coach was very clear,

85
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: Hey tight ends receivers talked about Robert Woods not a

86
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: lot of snaps, but he was blocking and Joe's running

87
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: style as well, the ability to cut yet so physical

88
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: on the front side at the same time.

89
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, the run game.

90
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 6: Essentially, everybody is involved and the blocking on the perimeter

91
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 6: is a big part of it. So who handles the

92
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 6: blocking on the perimeter typically gonna be the receivers of

93
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: the tight end. So when you're on the line of scrimmage,

94
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 6: you know, typically the tight end if he's attached like

95
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 6: those six players the offensive line plus the tight end,

96
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 6: and if you have a fullback, there's going to be

97
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 6: a seventh player, whether he's in the backfield or wales

98
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 6: on the line of scrimmags on the other side. Those

99
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 6: people essentially are going to handle the ball for the

100
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 6: running game, and Dimiko has talked about this, We've talked

101
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 6: about this big an emphasis point. You're just trying to

102
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 6: get a body on a body and account for the

103
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 6: defense where they're aligned. So you want to make sure

104
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 6: sure that you get the blockers distributed appropriately. Sometimes there's

105
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 6: an identification. Sometimes in defense moves you might have to

106
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: adjust it on the fly. So I think if everybody

107
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 6: understand what you're trying to accomplish on the play. Bobby's

108
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 6: talked about this a lot, the intent of the play,

109
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 6: what we're trying to get to, and when you go

110
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 6: back and look at our practice going in the game.

111
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 6: It was either Wednesday or Thursday. It was one of

112
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 6: the better practice we had in a run game. You know,

113
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 6: we had clean looks. We're able to get a hat

114
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 6: on a hat, and typically if you practice something and

115
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 6: see a carry over in the game, there's going to

116
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 6: be some kind of correlation. So I'd say it's a

117
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 6: collective effort. There's a lot of people that are involved, players, coaches,

118
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 6: the scheme, and then everybody understanding what we're trying to

119
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 6: get done on each play.

120
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 5: And you're blocking a good front.

121
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 6: We talked about, you know, we were able to get

122
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: the linebacker's block, but so those guys were a big

123
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 6: part of the Colts defense. So anytime you can get

124
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 6: through the initial part of the line of scrimmage, I mean,

125
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 6: I think their safeties ended up accumulating a number of attack.

126
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 6: We were able to get kind of the second level

127
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: of defense. Once you get to the second level, then

128
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 6: it's ultimately up to the runner. But I mean it's

129
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 6: the blocking, it's the runner understanding the play and making

130
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 6: a good decision sticks getting his foot in the ground.

131
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 6: Havn't exactly looked at it, but just going back didn't

132
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 6: seem like, we had a lot of negative runs, right,

133
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 6: So if you're at least able to get the runs

134
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 6: started and you get it moving in the right direction,

135
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,559
Speaker 6: then he gives yourself an opportunity to have a positive play.

136
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Twenty seven tackles between Nick Cross and Julian Blackman, the

137
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: two safeties forty three in the secondary alone for the

138
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: Colts on Sunday, and we kept calling, We talked about

139
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: during the broadcast Nick of talking about Nick Cross. We

140
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: keep mentioning Nick Cross, Julian Blackman, those two guys, and

141
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: it showed up on the stat sheet. On the flip

142
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: side of that was a guy that for every game

143
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: that he had played against the Texans, Jonathan Taylor, he

144
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: had done something significant, whether it was running for one

145
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: hundred yards, whether it was catching a touchdown pass. I

146
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: think in the very first game we saw him in

147
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, he had always done something positive, including one

148
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight yards in Week eighteen. You look

149
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: up at the end of Sunday sixteen carries forty eight yards.

150
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: Was the biggest key in slowing down Taylor? And was

151
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: that the biggest key in slowing them down? Relatively speaking,

152
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: outside of Anthony's magical toss world he was living in.

153
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we talked about this before the game.

154
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 6: It was about getting multiple hats to the ball and

155
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 6: finishing on contact and just getting a body on a

156
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 6: body and tackling was going to be at a premium.

157
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 6: So defense did a good job of just limiting the space.

158
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 6: There was a couple of runs that kind of popped through,

159
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 6: but we didn't allow the big runs. So, I mean,

160
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 6: JT is a really good back, he's one of the

161
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 6: better backs in the league. And then you're not going

162
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 6: to just it's not one person's going to stop one

163
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 6: particular player, but it's maintaining the integrity of the defense.

164
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 6: If your responsibility is to set the edge, just set

165
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 6: the edge. You forced the ball back to the inside,

166
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 6: and then you have your lauder pursuit from the defensive front,

167
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 6: from the tackles, and then the linebackers as well.

168
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 5: So defense is about eleven players doing the.

169
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 6: Right thing on a consistent basis, and a run game

170
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 6: takes multiple players because you have to deal with offensive linemen,

171
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 6: tight ends, kind of the same thing we just talked

172
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 6: about in the offensive side of the ball. So overall,

173
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 6: our players took a lot of pride It took a

174
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 6: lot of ownership and we were able to at least

175
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 6: mitigate some of the bigger runs. And you know, Anthony

176
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 6: got out a few times, you know, the third down

177
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 6: scramble and then he had another quarterback counter run that

178
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 6: was a part of their running game. But overall we

179
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 6: were able to kind of limit the big play runs.

180
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: Didn't limit the big play passes that was a big

181
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 6: part of the game, but limited the big play runs

182
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 6: because everybody was disciplined, everybody's in the right spot, and

183
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 6: we were able to get multiple hats of the football, all.

184
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: The weapons you have on offense.

185
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: We talked about the ground game, but it's such a

186
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: collective effort it's hard to identify the star.

187
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: Of the game. Is it Nico? Is it CJ? Is

188
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: it Digs? Is it Joe?

189
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: Who is it? Is this the blueprint? Is this the

190
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: way you want to see it? As an ensemble?

191
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 5: The offense is about execution.

192
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 6: Is everybody understanding like, you're not going to get the

193
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 6: ball on every play, but you're an option on every play.

194
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 6: So whatever the coverage dictates, wherever the quarterback is supposed

195
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 6: to go with the football, then hopefully you know CG

196
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 6: is going to make the right decisions, which more often

197
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 6: than not that he does. So your job is to

198
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 6: go out there, understand the play, understand the concept, make

199
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 6: sure you're in the right position so that you are

200
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 6: an option for the quarterbacks. So those guys did a

201
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 6: good job of that. We were able to the eyes

202
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 6: on some third down opportunities, kind of keep drives moving,

203
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 6: had a couple of fourth down conversions that ended up

204
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 6: being a big part of the game. So when that's

205
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 6: offensive football, it's never going to be perfect or as

206
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 6: clean as you would hope. You just hope that you

207
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 6: would do enough, have enough positive plays, and everybody have

208
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 6: an opportunity to touch the ball, they're able to do

209
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 6: something with it. And you know, I think we had

210
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 6: seven or eight skilled players that had a reception in

211
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 6: the game. We had multiple players that had rushing attempts.

212
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 6: So offensively is just trying to put as much stress

213
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 6: on the defense as possible. You know, we feel good

214
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 6: about the players, the skill players that we have when

215
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,239
Speaker 6: we're on the field.

216
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: I love to see players go through adversity and then

217
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: come out the other side and start to show progress.

218
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: And I know a guy that had to do that

219
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: in his third year. Now is Kenyan green? And look,

220
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: I know it's one game, Nick, but it's going against

221
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: that front that we know, Grover and the Forest Buckner.

222
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you and I talked about four the game.

223
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: We talked about it last week at this time, blocking

224
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: those two guys is going to be a chore. And

225
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: yet ken you went out there and he battled, and

226
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: he looked like he had been in the league for

227
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: three years and playing for three years. How far has

228
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: Kenyon come in the time that you've seen him.

229
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll talk about Kenyon here in a minute.

230
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 6: Would say the whole offensive line as a whole, that

231
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 6: was as good of an effort that we probably put

232
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 6: on a field in a long time. So those players

233
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 6: took a lot of ownership, they had a lot of pride,

234
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 6: and they went out there and put a good product

235
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: on the field. And Kenyon's situation really and it comes

236
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 6: down to work and opportunity, and his opportunities were limited

237
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 6: for a marriat or reasons here over the last few years.

238
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 6: But we've talked about this, We talked about in the offseason,

239
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 6: had the right approach, had the right mindset. It's one

240
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 6: thing to do in practice, but to be able to

241
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 6: carry it over into the game on the field and

242
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 6: real live action. It hopefully instills a little bit of

243
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 6: conference not only in yourself, but your teammates see it

244
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 6: as well. So I think his teammates respect the work

245
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 6: that he's put in. Ultimately, it's up to the player

246
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 6: to take ownership and do the right things and put

247
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 6: yourself in a position where you extra got air able

248
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 6: to go out there and played a good level. So

249
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 6: you know, certainly a credit to Kenyon and the coaches

250
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 6: for putting him in that position, and he went out

251
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 6: there and he played a good football game. So now

252
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 6: we got to flip the page and get ready for

253
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 6: another good front that we're going to see in some

254
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 6: of the challenges that the Bears present.

255
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to them, Johnny, you'll get to your question.

256
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm over here. Let's get through it.

257
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: But I got to get one more on that game

258
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: because CJ. Strad to throw on third and eleven. Your

259
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: reaction to that, the way you saw that. He's made

260
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: a lot of tremendous throws in his career already, that

261
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 3: was one of them.

262
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's two good players making really an outstanding play

263
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 6: in a critical situation. So typically games are going to

264
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 6: come down to a handful of players that are going

265
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 6: to shift the balance of the game one or the other.

266
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 6: So I mean talking about third down times running down,

267
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 6: you're in that two minute area if you give the

268
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 6: ball back timeouts, no timeouts trying to preserve a clock,

269
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 6: or if they were able to go down. So it's

270
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 6: two really good players who have put in a lot

271
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 6: of work and a lot of time to be able

272
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 6: to make that throw. I have the confidence to a

273
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 6: make the throw from a quarterbacks perspective, to put in

274
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 6: a position where your guy's going to get on nobody else.

275
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 6: And then for for Nico to make the play that

276
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 6: he did, just the concentration the balance, I mean, it

277
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 6: speaks to the work that that Nico has put in.

278
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: It does those types of things just.

279
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 6: Don't happen overnight, you know, you just don't sprinkle ferry

280
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 6: dust out there and all the sudden go out there

281
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 6: and make a good play. It's a lot of work

282
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 6: behind the scenes, a lot of conversation, a lot of

283
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 6: trust in one another, and I think you saw that

284
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 6: on display in that particular play.

285
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Week one officially over done. Let's go to Week two.

286
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears coming in here. Nick, I'm always fascinated by

287
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: NFC teams because you see him every four years. Now,

288
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: in our case, we saw him in twenty twenty two,

289
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: but it even feels like for twenty two to twenty four.

290
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: It's an even much different squad.

291
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: As Sunday night right here at in ourg stadium, first

292
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: time in five years that we're playing a Sunday night game,

293
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: the crowd is going to be electric. But the team

294
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: on the other side, like you said, they're coming up

295
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: with a great defensive front, offensive line has improved, Caleb

296
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: at quarterback.

297
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: They've got some things that can hurt you. Let's go

298
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: through the Scott report of the Bears.

299
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that the team that we saw two

300
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 6: years ago in this team and this is like two totally,

301
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 6: they might played them ten years ago. Yeah, so I

302
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 6: think it starts to the top. You know what Ryan

303
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 6: and coach Ebriflus have done. Taken some work to kind

304
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 6: of get to this point. But when you look at

305
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 6: how the team has been constructed, they obviously had a

306
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 6: plan in mind about how they wanted to put the

307
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 6: team together. So, I mean, Matt's done a really good

308
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 6: job here.

309
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 5: The last three.

310
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 6: You know, a few years going into year three. That's

311
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 6: a really good coach. You know, we saw him when

312
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 6: he was the coordinator Indianapolis. So offensively, I mean, they've

313
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 6: been able to assemble a pretty good offensive skill group.

314
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 6: So obviously drafting Kalb number one overall. He's a very

315
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 6: gifted throw over the football. The thing about him, he's

316
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 6: able to think he's moving to throw. You know, where

317
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 6: you see some quarterbacks that are kind of moving avoiding

318
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: to run. He's moving to throw. Kind of has a

319
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 6: unique way of keeping plays alive. So I mean a

320
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 6: pass rush and keeping him in the pocket is going

321
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 6: to be important. And then on the perimeter, you know,

322
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 6: traded for Keenan Allen, who's been as productive a player

323
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 6: as have been in the league. DJ Moore is probably

324
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 6: one of the more underrated receivers. He's a really good

325
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 6: catch and run player, so when he gets a ball

326
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 6: in his hands, he's hard to tackle. Drafted at Duneesa.

327
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 6: I know he was hurt there in the first game,

328
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 6: so we see, we'll see if we see him. I'd

329
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 6: say one of the more like underrated players on their teams.

330
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 6: Cole Kmet. I mean, this guy is a very steady, consistent,

331
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 6: dependable player with really really good hands. Signed Everett, who

332
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 6: has experience in coach Waldron system. You know, it's funny,

333
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 6: Shane and I actually overlapped in our time in New

334
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 6: England together, so he worked in operations in transition to coaching.

335
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 6: So Chang's a bright guy, has a lot of experience,

336
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 6: vast arrayed offenses, and he's kind of through the years

337
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 6: been able to put something together. They're kind of a

338
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 6: game plan i'd say, oriented teams trying to figure out

339
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 6: what they have offensively. And you said at John you

340
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 6: know their offensive line. They had a number of players

341
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 6: that they drafted in the first or second round. They

342
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 6: drafted right, you know, their left tackle actually practicing. They

343
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 6: draft him in the fifth round, drafted Jenkins. So I'd

344
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 6: say they're a combination of youth and experience and the

345
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 6: offensive side of the ball. And then let's say one

346
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 6: of the key signings, DeAndre Swift is very versatile three

347
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 6: down back, so certainly present a lot of challenges offensively

348
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 6: from a skill perspective. And they defensively, I mean this

349
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 6: is a good defense. I mean a really good defense.

350
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 6: I mean say between the defense and the kicking game.

351
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 6: They essentially won the Titans game. So good front. When

352
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: you look at once they acquired Sweat last year, their

353
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 6: production and performance defensively improved exponentially. So he's a unique player.

354
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 6: Long arms, can rush the passer. They've actually gotten really

355
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 6: good production from d Walk on the other side. So

356
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 6: who was here in Houston a few years ago? So

357
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 6: has some front flex made the trade kind of it

358
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 6: to cut down with Darrell Taylor who provides him as rush.

359
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 6: Drafted Booker in the fourth or fifth round whatever it

360
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 6: was this year, So good on the edge, good inside.

361
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 6: Billings is a load in there. So and then drafted

362
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 6: Dexter and Pickings. Dexter looks like you might be a

363
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 6: little bit ahead of Pickings at this point. And then

364
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 6: the two linebackers are really good football players, I mean

365
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 6: really good football players.

366
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: Edwards.

367
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 6: You know, talk about team building and some of the things.

368
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 6: How do you get players on your team. He's arguably

369
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 6: one of their best players on defense. One of their

370
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 6: best players team was undrafted, so it led the team

371
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 6: and tackles last year. Very smart, very instinctive player, Edmonds,

372
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 6: I mean six four two fifty runs. Well, and then

373
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 6: they're really kind of a nickel defense a little bit

374
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 6: like so their slot corner Kyler Gordon, who they drafted

375
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 6: in the second round last year, gives him a good

376
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 6: presence on the inside. And then really you know, drafted

377
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 6: all three corners if you wire were second round picks, right.

378
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 6: It took Jalen who's one of the best corners in

379
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 6: the league, and the Tyree Stevenson who played a.

380
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 5: Bunch of ball last year on the other side.

381
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 6: And I'd signed Byerden free agency, who's a very experienced

382
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 6: player who we played a number of games against when

383
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 6: he was in Tennessee. And Brisker is a good young player,

384
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 6: So I mean he played with an attitude of mindset

385
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 6: on defense. You've Matt obviously has an influence Coach Washington

386
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 6: a little bit more of a front Matt a little

387
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 6: bit more of a secondary player or a secondary coach.

388
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 6: So they kind of merge it together in the kicking game,

389
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 6: like they dominated the kicking game. So they have some

390
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 6: good core players. Drafted the punter in a fourth round

391
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 6: who you know, hits the ball really well. So this

392
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 6: is a really good football team that presents different challenges

393
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 6: that we saw with the Colts. So we're gonna have

394
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 6: to make sure we make some of the corrections from

395
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 6: last week and hopefully they don't spill over into this week.

396
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: What about that kicking game, Yeah, last week you had

397
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: some great moments with Kaimi hitting three from fifty and beyond.

398
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: You had the one you want back.

399
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: They had a similar kind of situation, some good moments

400
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: ones they want back.

401
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, they blocked a punt for a touchdown.

402
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: Jo scooped it up and they scored there and then Deandra

403
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 6: Carter who had it. He had Stinton Houston at different points.

404
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 6: We actually had him on a practic school head back

405
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 6: in New England back in the day shows You're hold

406
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 6: I am but seventy yard kickoff return then a good

407
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 6: punt return, so they had and they starting field position.

408
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 6: There was a number of plays number series that started

409
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 6: inside the twenty, so Tennessee was going on the long field.

410
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 6: So certainly going to present some challenges in the kicking game.

411
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 6: So hopefully we can get some of the things that

412
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 6: we need to improve fixed, and then the kicking game

413
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 6: as we see each week and be a big part

414
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 6: have a huge impact on the game.

415
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: There's no question, Nick, you said something about Kleb.

416
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: That that struck me, and I think sometimes when you're

417
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: talking about the quarterbacks the Texas are going to face,

418
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: you're like, well, that guy's a dual thread. That guy's

419
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: a dual thread. That guy's a dual threat. But they

420
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: all sort of do things differently. Like Anthony Richardson, like

421
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: you said, when he would scramble, he was going to

422
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: run it because it's sixty five two forty five. He's

423
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: going to turn up and go. But Caleb wants to

424
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: keep his eyes down the field. So when you're facing

425
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: Caleb us Anthony, even though they well they are dual

426
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: threat quarterback, but they're completely different in the way they

427
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: approach it.

428
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, it's any team.

429
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 6: You just have to understand the strengths and weaknesses of

430
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 6: each particular player, understanding who you're playing against, what are

431
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 6: they trying to do? You know Caleb, I mean, he

432
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 6: won a Heisman Trophy for a reason because he's a

433
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 6: very talented player. So each I would say, individual has

434
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 6: her own skill set and you just have to understand

435
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 6: what you're playing against. So you saw that in a

436
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: preseason I mean the thrill you made there on the sideline,

437
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 6: I'm going to his left against Buffalo or whatever it was.

438
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 6: I mean, not too many quarterbacks they can make that play.

439
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 6: So each week, like we talked about, presents its own

440
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 6: unique challenges, and you know, he's going to be a

441
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 6: really good player in this league for a long time.

442
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: One semi procedural thing here for you and your staff.

443
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 3: Sometimes we see a report the Texans worked out so

444
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: and so, But you guys work out players all the time, right,

445
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 3: This is a weekly thing in a way to keep tabs.

446
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: On what's going on with the available players.

447
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, very much so, Mark.

448
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 6: So we'll do it at really any point to do

449
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 6: it in the spring, in May, we'll do it in

450
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 6: the course of training camp, you know, we'll do it

451
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 6: in the early part of the season.

452
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 5: We'll do it pretty much any day during the week.

453
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 6: I mean some teams allocate like Tuesday as their designated

454
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 6: workout day.

455
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: We'll do it whatever.

456
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 6: Sometimes it doesn't work logistically, so and it's not necessarily everybody.

457
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 6: You kind of have a list that you put together

458
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 6: of if we have an opportunity to bring this player

459
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 6: in to get more information, let's go ahead and do

460
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 6: it so that we make sure we're prepared for if

461
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: we lose a player, what's our next best option?

462
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 5: Is it already on our practice squad?

463
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 6: Is it somebody on the street, and does somebody on

464
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 6: the street we want to add the practice squad that

465
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 6: we can upgrade our depth what we have here. So

466
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 6: it's fairly fluid. I think once you get through September

467
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 6: into October, then it becomes a little bit more specific,

468
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 6: more case by case relative to something happened in the

469
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 6: game that may force your hand a little bit. So,

470
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 6: but to your question, yes, it's a part of the

471
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 6: normal procedure. Some teams handle a little bit differently in

472
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 6: terms of volume, how many they bring in, like what

473
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 6: they actually do. So we just try to do what

474
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 6: we feel makes the most sense for us and get

475
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 6: as much information as possible so we make a good

476
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 6: decision about adding a player to the team if we

477
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 6: get to that point.

478
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Nick, it's been five years since playing on a Sun

479
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: and we've not played a ton of primetime games. In fact,

480
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: last year were able to add all noon games until

481
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: the one against Sidneapolis Colts. Your time in New England,

482
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: you guys played a lot of night games, a lot

483
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: of primetime games. Is there a key or something that

484
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: you kind of rely on, you know, kind of getting

485
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: in a routine, because this kind of breaks the routine

486
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: with a night game because you wake up in the morning,

487
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: you're like, you're so used to, like me get to

488
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: the bus, let me get to the place, let me

489
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: get to the stadium.

490
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: Might get in my routine.

491
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, it's a seven o'clock game,

492
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: and now that routine's kind of thrown off. How do

493
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: you kind of go about that? Is that a big

494
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: thing for the players to have to adjust to? Yes

495
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: and no.

496
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 6: I think you just have to work backwards from the game.

497
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 6: You just what it affects is just the timing of

498
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 6: the day. So whatever your block is to get ready

499
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 6: for the game, typically it's usually four or five hours

500
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 6: before the game. So instead of doing it at eight

501
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 6: o'clock on a Sunday morning with the game at noon,

502
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 6: are the games at seven o'clock or seven to twenty

503
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 6: whatever is, So then you kind of work backwards. So

504
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 6: everybody just kind of has to adjust what they go through.

505
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 6: Just make sure that you're mentally and physically prepared for

506
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 6: playing Sunday night. Now, some of that obviously will spill

507
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 6: all into the next day as well. Because it's a

508
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 6: later game. So you just have to adjust. You have

509
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 6: to be prepared, and I think what we have to

510
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 6: do is an organization, just make sure the players have

511
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 6: what they need, give them information, and just make sure

512
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 6: that any end they get themselves ready to play football.

513
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 6: Whenever we kick off, we kick off. But you just

514
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 6: have to make some subtle adjustment. You're not going to

515
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 6: necessarily change anything drastically other than the timing of kind

516
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 6: of everything that goes into that day.

517
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 4: All right, a couple more things.

518
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 3: This year, the Texans play the two oldest teams in

519
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 3: the league with the Bears and the Packers. The Bears,

520
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: when you think of them, you think of the eighty

521
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 3: five Bears, So better defense, Nick, the eighty five Bears

522
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: or the two thousand Ravens, or you can throw in

523
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: a writing candidate if you want.

524
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 6: There's a reason behind this selection, So I'm going to

525
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 6: say the eighty five Bears for the sole purpose. So

526
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 6: when the Super Bowl took place, so I can't remember

527
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 6: how that must have been what nine or ten years

528
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 6: old at the time, too, So I'll probably get in Troutle.

529
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 5: Hopefully the league won't find me for this.

530
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 6: But we had our parents kind of made a little

531
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 6: wager for us that if, okay, the Fridge scored a

532
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 6: touchdown or in the Super Bowl, that we would get

533
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: new bikes.

534
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 4: You were nine, I think you're safe, so you got

535
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 4: new bikes.

536
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: Fridge scored.

537
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 6: So if the Fridge scored right on the full back dive,

538
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 6: so we got new bikes as a result of that.

539
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 6: So we were going crazy. But I mean those defenses,

540
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 6: I mean, both of those defenses, I mean were as

541
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 6: good as a common when you go back through that,

542
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 6: I mean the front, the caliber of players at all

543
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 6: three levels of the defense. I mean, you can't go

544
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 6: wrong either way. I'm just gonna kind of tilt it.

545
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 6: Because the Fridge scored, we got bikes out of it.

546
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: It's very nice, and fans are encouraged to wear Liberty white.

547
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: Everybody's got to wear white Sunday night. Get all fired

548
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: up when the when the team comes out of the tunnel,

549
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: be there early. That does make a difference for the guys,

550
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 3: right when the when the crowd is there, when the

551
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: team comes out, the electricity all of it.

552
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, our crowd makes a difference.

553
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 6: So like if anything can say anything encourage you to

554
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 6: get there early, be as loud as you can be.

555
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 5: It's this is the old faut pall.

556
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 6: You can't wear white after Labor Day or we're gonna

557
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 6: make an exception here for Liberty white on Sunday nights.

558
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 6: So it should be a great environment, great atmosphere. Hopefully

559
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 6: we can go out there and play a good football

560
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 6: game against a good team.

561
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a rookie quarterback too, like get all in

562
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: his ears, you know, if you see his hands up

563
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: like this, that's what you need.

564
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: Colleges have done that with the coach comp system.

565
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: I know you've been scouting a little bit, but if

566
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: you talk to them about how that's gone.

567
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 6: You know, we've just kind of seen it. But yeah,

568
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 6: the coach the quarterback, same thing. Cuts off of fifteen seconds,

569
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 6: they have the two minute. They're calling it a time out,

570
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 6: but it's two minute warnings. So you're starting to see

571
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 6: a little bit of a spillover college pro pro to college.

572
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 6: So I'm sure the coaches probably like having the ability

573
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 6: to communicate with the quarterback. Instead of having them look at,

574
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 6: you know, the sign on the sideline, they can talk

575
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 6: to them directly, So it actually helps the quarterback when

576
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 6: they transition from college to our level for sure.

577
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the other one, and I'm wondering if this

578
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: will happen in NFL.

579
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 2: In a long talk with.

580
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Somebody from Exos at Big twelve media days, and he said,

581
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: in college, they now can look at the surface and

582
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: they can look at video.

583
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: We can only look at the stills here.

584
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: Do you think that changes in time that you'll be

585
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: able to look at video on the sideline.

586
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, We've experimented a little bit in the season, So

587
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 6: ultimately the league wi make a determination about what they

588
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 6: feel makes the most sense. And I think the one

589
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 6: thing about teams, everybody adapts in adjusts to whatever the

590
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 6: rules and circumstances are. So it just goes back to

591
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 6: you're just seeing a lot of crossover between the two entities,

592
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: right Will. So college's concepts have kind of spilled over

593
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 6: into our level. You have some things that are implemented

594
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 6: and pro game that are going to college. So hopefully

595
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: it just helps everybody and whatever they tell us, we

596
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 6: can do and we'll buy by the rules.

597
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: Nick, thanks a lot, good luck, Thanks fellas, appreciating Nick,

598
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: thanks for stopping by.

599
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Mark and I are going to kick

600
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: around our favorite prime time Texans memories right here on

601
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Texans All Access.

602
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?

603
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Wednesday edition of Texans All Acts

604
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: as John Harris alongside the Voice of the Texans, Mark

605
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: vandermir Mark Joe Mixon, Offensive Player of the Week, AFC

606
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week.

607
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: How's that hitching the gut?

608
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: That feels really good, Johnny? Because remember the Barkley thing

609
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: was real. In fact, Nick talked about it on this show.

610
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: Oh that they were in on the Barkley sweepstakes. And look,

611
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: Barkley's great would have been great, but Mixon's great too.

612
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 3: So let's have mix in. And I heard Shawn and

613
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: Seth talking about it, the different skill sets and such.

614
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 3: We haven't even scratched the surface yet of mixing catching

615
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: the football that is going to be an added element.

616
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: So I can't wait to get that going. The tight

617
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 3: end's going. But to see Mixon do what he did

618
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: week one. Now, if he goes out on Sunday and

619
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: you have eighty yards in a victory.

620
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: Oh, he's not slipping.

621
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: Okay, this is maybe a different game plan, maybe a

622
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: different situation. If I'm the Bears, I'm thinking we can't

623
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: let that happen. We can't let Joe Mixon have another

624
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 3: one point fifty nine. That's gotta stop. Well pick your

625
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 3: poison because it's come in one way or another.

626
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Well along those lines too, with mixing, slipping or not

627
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, I think to me, I feel

628
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: like this offense is gonna be peeling back different layers

629
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: of the offensive onion throughout the year. Like I feel like, oh, okay,

630
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: that was obviously, you know, a Joe game. Nico had

631
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good ball I mean, everybody really had a

632
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: pretty solid ball game, but you know, the tight ends

633
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: din't get heavily involved in it.

634
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: Dalton had three catches. I don't think Kate anything Cad was.

635
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this though, going back and I'll give

636
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: you kind of my my film thoughts. As I watched

637
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: the game again last night, Kate Stover at full back

638
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: when he was lined up at full back was really good.

639
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, very They trust him, that you absolutely do.

640
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: And Joe made some really nice cuts off of his

641
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: block and his blocks, including on the final run of

642
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: the game. Well, yeah, the funal run of the game

643
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: when we've got to get three. They run right behind

644
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: Kate Stover and Kate leads the way and picks up.

645
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: A guy knocks him out of the hole. Joe cuts up.

646
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: It's eight or nine yards or whatever it was to

647
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: win it.

648
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 4: Is he James Casey?

649
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: Oo?

650
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 4: Now that is that a comp?

651
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: That is a really good comp. That's a really good comp.

652
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm curious what I I'm curiou what I comped Kate's

653
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: over to in the spring. But they're built a little different.

654
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: I feel like James. I mean, James is a stud, right,

655
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: but I feel like James was a little more top

656
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: heavy compared to Kate. I could be wrong about that,

657
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. And Casey was a baseball player too, right.

658
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: He's an older guy playing, so just a little different building.

659
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: Casey's a legend at Rice. He played quarterback.

660
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: Yep, remember that comment from the scout in Sports Illustrated.

661
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: He kind of reminds you of Tebow.

662
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: When he throws the ball, except he throws the ball

663
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 3: better than Tebow. I love that comment, and we never really.

664
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: Got to see that. It's too bad.

665
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: But anyway, look, I was gonna mention Kate when you

666
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 3: talked about peeling back the layers of the onion, because

667
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: you know, a two touchdown game is coming from Kate's

668
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 3: over at some point. This is some kind of coming

669
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: out party is coming for him. But it doesn't have

670
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 3: to be just yet. Like you said, you have so

671
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 3: many different ways you can go with this thing.

672
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: Let's just see what happens week to week.

673
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: And the thing is, if you do it on Sunday

674
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: night football, all think how far that carries you. Everybody

675
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 1: watching it, oh man, the Texans rookie cached over, or

676
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: or maybe even Dalton Schultze at night, whatever it might be.

677
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: You do it on Sunday night when everybody's watching, everybody's

678
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: tweeting or posting about it. And I love that part

679
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: of it because you get involved when on a Sunday night,

680
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: you're just when you get home from a game.

681
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: We have a home game.

682
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: We get home from the game and okay, Sunday night

683
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: football is on and you get on the couch and

684
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: I've always got like Harris Hits in front of me,

685
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: but I'm watching and you see something you're like, oh man,

686
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: I remember that guy, and you know from college, and

687
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: then you get up his college report and you start

688
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: talking about him. So it's just that that Sunday night

689
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: feeling that you have Uh, that everybody gets to see

690
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: what you've got.

691
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 2: And I think that's cool because.

692
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: When people ask me around the country different times and

693
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: places the way, man, I hear a lot about the Texans.

694
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: You know what, what are they about? Watch a Sunday Night.

695
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll see the show's talking with our our social

696
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: media coordinator who did an interview with Xavier Hutchinson that

697
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 3: we're gonna have on Tonight's getting some social questions and

698
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: we'll have the audio for you. Anyway, she was asking me,

699
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: what's the biggest Sunday Night game the Texans have ever played?

700
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 3: He said, all right, here's the history lesson because she's

701
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 3: like twenty three or something. But it's hard to go

702
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: past Dallas Opening Night. But that was different Sunday Night Football.

703
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 3: That was ESPN Sunda Night Football when ESPN didn't have

704
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: all the great games. Sunday Night Football back then was

705
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: not the biggest game. It was still Monday Night Football.

706
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: ABC still had the package. When it shifted when ESPN

707
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: took over Monday Night, they weren't getting the biggest game

708
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 3: of the week. Really, the projected biggest game of the

709
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: week filtered right into Sunday Night NBC over the air television,

710
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: so it changed. Back in the day, Monday night was

711
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: the big night. Now Sunday night's the big night. And

712
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: I remember us thinking when NBC had Al Michaels doing

713
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: the game, John Madden, you were thinking, are they really

714
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 3: gonna is Sunday night football really going to be it?

715
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: Because Sunday night football didn't seem like it. It seemed like

716
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 3: the big after dinner mint or hearty dessert to a

717
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: big day. Now it's the game Carrie Underwood with the

718
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: song and everybody gets jacked up. It's a different feel

719
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: right now. So you're on that show Sunday Night. I

720
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: would say the second biggest Sunday night game the Texans

721
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: have played was Dallas in twenty eighteen. Yes, and then

722
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: I'll go with the Patriots in twenty nineteen.

723
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: Probably.

724
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a big one.

725
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: Look, that's a big one.

726
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: The hype leading up to Packers in Week five twenty.

727
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 4: Twelve was, Oh, that hype was amazing. The game was

728
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: a dud.

729
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: Texans were five and oh coming in the game was

730
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: a dud, but the hype was huge going in.

731
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: It was massive.

732
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so just throw it Sunday Thursday Monday game all

733
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: of them to throw it into a big bully base.

734
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be just Sunday night. It can be

735
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: any of those. Yeah, which ones stand out the most? Well,

736
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: look the Colts. It feels like you played the Colts

737
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: a lot on Third Night because you have.

738
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 4: Right.

739
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: In twenty fourteen with the Watt fumble recovery. That was

740
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: a loss, and that was as good a memory as

741
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: you can have in a loss. Same that year with Dallas,

742
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: but that was a Sunday afternoon game. How about this one,

743
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: I'll give you one on a Thursday night? Well two,

744
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: Watson's first start was big. Yeah, And I know not

745
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: be a popular subject whatever, but Colts in twenty nineteen

746
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 3: after you got demolished by the Ravens and the Colts

747
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: were actually having a pretty good year, and you were thinking,

748
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: and you know what happened the year before.

749
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 4: They beat in the playoffs.

750
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 3: For each year at home, are you gonna be able

751
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: to beat the Colts on Thursday night after getting walloped

752
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: by the Ravens. I don't know if it's gonna happen. Well,

753
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: you had lost the Colts earlier that year too. You

754
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: gutted one out at home on a Thursday short week.

755
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: That was a typical Bill O'Brien circle the Wagons game,

756
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: and he had plenty of them while he was here,

757
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: but that one stands out in my memory because you needed.

758
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: It's so bad to re establish yourself after the Ravens

759
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: put forty seven on you.

760
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was so brutal afternoon in Baltimore.

761
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so bad.

762
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: But it having that Thursday night game was probably the

763
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: best thing ever because if we would had to stood

764
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: over that for Friday, Saturday on into Sunday, it would

765
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: have been awful. Yeah, and you know what I mean

766
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: about that, It would it would have been awful. I

767
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: think when it comes to home night football games, I

768
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: think the one that to me will always stand above

769
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: everyone else, you know, Cowboys twenty eighteen because of how

770
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: it went. But to me, Titans Monday Night Football twenty eighteen.

771
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that one.

772
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Like the emotions off the charts in that one, and

773
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: then all a sudden, Titans are up Bank Bank ten.

774
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: Nothing.

775
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: I should have mentioned that one.

776
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: What that was a hell of a night and this

777
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: had my favorite call ever, and that was an unforgettable night.

778
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: Honoring mister McNair a few days after he passes, all

779
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 3: the emotion involved to get the win over them. Yeah,

780
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: that's great, Johnny, That's that's really the one.

781
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you think about it.

782
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 3: We've been so blessed when you think about some of

783
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: those really sweet victories over the years, and that's what's

784
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: amazing about this sport. That look, that year didn't end

785
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 3: the way you wanted it to, of course, but you'll

786
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 3: always have that memory that night last year didn't end

787
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: the way you wanted it to, but it was such

788
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: a special season, and there were numerous instances of just

789
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: if you just isolate the game at Tennessee last year,

790
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: beating them with the Oilers' uniforms, Houston Oilers all over

791
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 3: the stadium, with my gun as your quarterback. My gosh,

792
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: that will live forever. That stands out there. We could

793
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: do a whole offseason segment on this standalone games that

794
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 3: just stand out, no matter what the context of the season,

795
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: how it finished off, but that night or that day

796
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 3: was that special that it will always stand out. There's

797
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: so many of them in this franchise's history. I guess

798
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: every franchise can point to that. But we have a

799
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: lot of time to talk about these things, and it's

800
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 3: always fun.

801
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is definitely fun.

802
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: But that Titans game that night with Damarius Thomas two

803
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns obviously Lamar Miller, which precipitated the call that you had,

804
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: that was just unbelievable.

805
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: You know, that was for you, Bob. That was.

806
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: You know, I always tell people because people ask me

807
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: about that, and I was like, you know, I didn't

808
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: hear it at the time.

809
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: I didn't hear it at the time.

810
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: It took me until the next day when I'm going

811
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: back through and I'm getting everything for matchup and I

812
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: hear the call and I'm just like, I'm damn. I'm like,

813
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I just my, I just it was

814
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: speechless listening to it, just tears in my eyes. Was incredible.

815
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Dallas twenty eighteen on that Sunday night. Like, if there's

816
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: a Sunday Night, it's that one. Because the one thing

817
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: I say to people about that game when people kind

818
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: of bring it up, that's, without a doubt, playoff games

819
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: or otherwise, that game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday

820
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: Night twenty eighteen is the hardest hitting game I have

821
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: ever experienced.

822
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: Whatever.

823
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: There the shots that guys took, the hits that Dak

824
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: Prescott took the.

825
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: Hits that Watson took that night.

826
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: I saw one right in front of me, and I

827
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: was like, how do you get up from that?

828
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: And it was just like that all night long.

829
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: Those four linebackers, Jalen Smith and Vander ash and a

830
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: Cowboy side and Bernardrick and Zach cutting Gham on the

831
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: Texas side, they were flying to the football night and

832
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: they were just hammering anything that moved, and just the

833
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: way that it happened with Hop with the two spins

834
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: and then setting up Kaymi, and that was at a point,

835
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: you know, people forget this.

836
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: We're rowing three.

837
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: And then we go and win in overtime against the

838
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Yeah, so now we're one and three, Like,

839
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: can we get this thing? Can we get this thing

840
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: turned around?

841
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 5: Oh?

842
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: Man, we gotta play the Cowboys at home on Sunday. Oh,

843
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: this is gonna be tough. But then we do that. Yeah,

844
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: and then you gotta play the Buffalo Bills the next

845
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: week and Josh Allen's rookie, but Deshaun's all banged up,

846
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: but you find a way to win that game, and

847
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're kind of getting the things

848
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: together and you know, it was a bus game to Jacksonville,

849
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you kind of got it

850
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: rolling and before you know it, boom, ninth straight.

851
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 3: Ninth straight. And you were getting a lot of takeaways,

852
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 3: a lot, yes, way a lot. Justin Reid Coast to

853
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: coast picked six at Washington, Magical things are happening. He

854
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 3: managed facing a fifty two yard are at the buzzer

855
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: case Keenum quarterbacking for them.

856
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 4: I mean, that year was filled with great stuff.

857
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 3: But as far as the primetime context of things, yeah,

858
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: you had the Titans game there, you had the Cowboys

859
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: game in that year. Yeah, and nineteen of course you

860
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 3: had the game against the Patriots sun that I football,

861
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: big one for sure. But you haven't had some that

862
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 3: I football, like you've pointed out many times since then.

863
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 3: And the only primetime game has been that Thursday night

864
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 3: er against Carolina in twenty one.

865
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: Is that it.

866
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Philly twenty two, who were the Red Helmets for the

867
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: first time Philly and played pretty well. Remember that night

868
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: there was fourteen fourteen. If there was a Philly's Astros

869
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: World Series game going on at the same time, there

870
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: was a Texans Eagles game.

871
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 2: It was the most bizarre thing in the world.

872
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 4: There will not have a rough year. Yeah, the helmet

873
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 4: was awesome.

874
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: It was and got in ward of red jerds and

875
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: in the battle red jerseys and looked good for a while.

876
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: Just kind of like that year wasn't twenty twenty two

877
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: could look good for a certain stretch of time, but

878
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: just not good enough to end up getting wins.

879
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: But that is that the last that's the last.

880
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: Prime time game that we've played at Energy Stadium was

881
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: that game against Eagles, correct, twenty twenty two, So there's one,

882
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: then one in twenty one, and you know, twenty twenty

883
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: was all over the place.

884
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't remember what happened during that year. So to

885
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 2: bring it back on a.

886
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: Scening primetime games in twenty twenty other than the Thanksgiving.

887
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: Game, right, Chiefs Chiefs to start the year.

888
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that that counts too, I guess.

889
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 2: But Chiefs.

890
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 3: We only had two two national winters on a team

891
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: that went to the divisional round.

892
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 4: It was up twenty four to nothing.

893
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: The schedule makers were right. We ended up going four

894
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: and twelve. Yeah, they were really happy with their decision. Yeah,

895
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: they weren't happy with it, but they were. Man, I

896
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 2: shouldn't say this, but I always like I've gotten to

897
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: where I.

898
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: Like noon games probably more than anything like just getting up,

899
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: getting here, get go, as far as what.

900
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 4: We do and I'll tell you what else.

901
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 3: Radio audience, because people are in their cars, the noon

902
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 3: games draw more.

903
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: Listeners than the other games.

904
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because of I had to drop off so and so,

905
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 3: and I caught the second quarter in the car. I

906
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: was coming back from church. I had to pick up

907
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: the kid from soccer. I did this, I did that.

908
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: I was on the golf course. I get a lot

909
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: of I'm on the golf course and I listened on

910
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 3: the app. That is awesome. That is because I told

911
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: Joe Pogey was telling me that. I said, look, we

912
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: do the game for you. We do the game for

913
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: the people who can't be there and want to listen

914
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 3: and monitor what's going on in a very detailed fashion.

915
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

916
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I mean I like those new games, but

917
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's something about this Sunday night game.

918
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for a while. Just go back out there,

919
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: and I think part of it goes back to our

920
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: original discussion, and that being showing your team off. I

921
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: get twenty twenty one twenty twenty two too. I mean

922
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: it was we were struggling, were not We're not a

923
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: great football team at that time. And then people would

924
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: watch us play and I would get text from different people,

925
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: my parents and whoever else watching and they're like, oh,

926
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: you guys played hard, you did this, and I was

927
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: just I mean, okay, it's hey, it's just tough what

928
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: we're going through. But then when fans got a chance

929
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: to watch us last year in that Saturday night game

930
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: against the Colts, It's like.

931
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: Whoa man, Holy cow.

00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: when people watch us on Sunday night, they're gonna end

934
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: up getting that same feeling and so playing a clean game,

935
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, played a clean game for

936
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: the most part, like turnover wise other than the block

937
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: punp was bad. You know that's got a I guarantee you.

938
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: Frank has just been pulling his hair out. Frank Ross,

939
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: special team's coordinator has been pulling his hair out all

940
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: week long. And Seana Seth pointed out something too, which

941
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: I thought was interesting because I I had forgotten this.

942
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: I interviewed Nick Cassario before the game. You talked to

943
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: me kah Ryan's Yeah, I talked to Nick Sario. So

944
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: I talked to Nick for a couple of minutes for

945
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: the game, and I always ask him one of the keys,

946
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: and I got to the end of the keys, and

947
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: I always say offense, defense, and hey, throw one in

948
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: their special teams. Wise, but when he got the special teams,

949
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 1: he said, hey, this is one of the better pump

950
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: block units in the league.

951
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh. He hit right on it. He nailed it, and

952
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: it kind of just went right by me.

953
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: And I didn't think about it until Sewn and Seth

954
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: we were doing the pregame, so they hear it, and

955
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: I completely forgot that he had said that, but he did.

956
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: He said they were one of the best pump block teams. Well,

957
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: what did the Bears do against the Titans? A great

958
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: block punt, a tremendously schemed up block punk.

959
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: How hard do you think it is for Demiko to

960
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 3: keep the noise away of all your whatever point favorites

961
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 3: and the Bears didn't do anything on offense and their

962
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: victory over the Titans.

963
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 4: You just better be ready.

964
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: I have the Texans, you can't you as a coach,

965
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: you can just minimize it, I guess and just try

966
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: and get everybody to you know, remember Carolina, Yeah, exactly,

967
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: Remember Carolina, Remember Atlanta. Those are two teams you probably

968
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: should have beaten on the road, and you didn't take

969
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: care of.

970
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 2: Business for whatever reason.

971
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: You're outside, it's a little chilly, the wind is off,

972
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: you're inside.

973
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 2: The oculus turned left instead of right.

974
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever you want to come up with,

975
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,959
Speaker 1: but the point being, this is a team this week

976
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: against Chicago. You better show up because Caleb. Caleb can

977
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: do some things like Anthony Richardson. If you're like, Ah,

978
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: Richardson just did some he just haul off and through

979
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: that thing.

980
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: And you're not going to see that from Caleb. Yeah

981
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 2: you will.

982
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: You'll see the maybe not to that extent, but you

983
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: will see it. So you better be ready for these guys,

984
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: no doubt.

985
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: Did you see the overhead video of the Richardsons. It

986
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 3: appears that the cults put out that's a great video.

987
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: It's a great video. I hate to say it, it

988
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: is a great video.

989
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: And we were talking to Drew earlier and he's like,

990
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, on TV, he said, it kind of looks

991
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: like he's kind of lost in, you know, amongst the rushers,

992
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: because yeah, Derek Barnett and thing it was Jerry Hughes.

993
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: They were both like in his and so the angle

994
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: I was, I was right in line with him, and

995
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: I could see him kind of fading kind of towards me,

996
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: and then just hauled off and it was almost like

997
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: you could hear the thump out of his hand, like

998
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: when he throws it and releases out of his hands,

999
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: because it's like shot out of a cannon and then

1000
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: it ends up in Pierce's hands. It's like, I don't

1001
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he played it better, but it was unbelievable.

1002
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: He just hauled off and threw it as far as

1003
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: he could. He did, and Pierce ran into it.

1004
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: He gets up so fast and throws it so fast

1005
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: because Petree's coming to Petrie's coming out a little delay.

1006
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a delay or not, but

1007
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 3: he couldn't get there in time because there was no

1008
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,959
Speaker 3: time slip up throw. I mean, that was as quick

1009
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 3: as it was and Pierce fast got down there and

1010
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: how ran the defense. Look that is not going to

1011
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 3: happen every week, of course, correct So those are correctable

1012
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: moments against the Bears. It's a different quarterback, different situation.

1013
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 3: You don't want him to wake up and have his

1014
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 3: coming out party on Sunday night. But the Bears are

1015
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 3: going to be jacked up because nothing to lose. Thing

1016
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 3: they're already want to know. They go one in one. Okay,

1017
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: let's go back home or wherever they're going next, go

1018
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: back into the division. This is a really great opportunity

1019
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: for you. You'll get to two and zero. Here, go

1020
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 3: to Minnesota, stop me, stop me from looking ahead.

1021
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 4: Well, Universe, next Sunday night.

1022
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: You know who's next for them for the Bears at Indianapolis.

1023
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 3: All right, So go Bears next week, next week, next week,

1024
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: we will cheer for you Bears next week. Where do

1025
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: we have Cleveland this week? In Jacksonville?

1026
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: Jacksonville?

1027
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 3: So we have Cleveland playing teams that we normally root against.

1028
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: But look, I want, I actually want Cleveland to win

1029
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 3: this one. Twelve to ten, four field goals, all.

1030
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: Off of Jaguar turnovers. Yeah, that's it, That's exactly how

1031
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: you want it to go. Titans have the New York Jets.

1032
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: How about the Jets have got to play a Monday

1033
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: night game on the West Coast, fly back home, and

1034
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: then travel again to take on the New York Jets

1035
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: or take on the TI Titans.

1036
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 4: That's a really rough way to business.

1037
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 3: However, have you looked at the next few weeks for

1038
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 3: the New York Jets.

1039
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 4: They're not daunting home.

1040
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so at San Francisco Week one, loss at Tennessee

1041
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: Week two, then Patriots at home, Broncos at home at Vikings,

1042
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: Bills at home at Steelers at Patriots before.

1043
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 3: They play US on thirde So we don't really know

1044
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: who the Patriots are yet because the Bengals might be

1045
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: not very good.

1046
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 2: Everybody looks at the end of last year. They took

1047
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 2: some hits. Yep.

1048
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 3: And obviously I think Joe Mixon is as big a

1049
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 3: hit as you can take. Moss is not mixing. Moss

1050
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 3: is a nice back, He's not Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon

1051
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 3: is an elite running back. And did Clint say mix

1052
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: It is the most talented back the Texans have ever had.

1053
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: I think he said that I saw a video. I

1054
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 3: mean arian all right, well, look that's I mean, it's

1055
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: one of those two. It's one of those two, no doubt.

1056
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: What'd you think of the Jets on Monday Night? It

1057
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: was fun to watch Aaron Rodgers lose this is one

1058
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 3: of those things I enjoy. Say something else, yes, but yeah,

1059
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 3: now I love Robert Sally, you know this, but I

1060
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 3: think he's in he's in a rough situation.

1061
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 2: Let's say they win.

1062
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 3: I don't know how much credit he is or is

1063
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 3: not going to get for winning in New York. Yeah,

1064
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 3: it's a good point, and I don't he hasn't told

1065
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 3: me this, but I feel like Nathaniel Hackett was given

1066
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 3: to him because Rogers wanted Hackett.

1067
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

1068
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 3: And look, rob did get a chance to hire an

1069
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator to begin he hired Baby Lafleur. So look,

1070
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: I don't know who he would have hired without having

1071
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 3: to hire Hackett for Rogers.

1072
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

1073
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 3: I would have been really interested to find out who

1074
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: he would have gotten, because look, Gary didn't hire the

1075
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: right defensive coordinator right away, so you all saw how

1076
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 3: it worked out eventually for him very well.

1077
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 4: So who knows how Robert would have played it.

1078
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: We'll see the Jets October thirty first, but we will

1079
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: see the coming up very very soon. All Right, some

1080
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: things are happening around the NFL. We're not even gonna

1081
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: talk about that quarterback in Cleveland because he's got issues

1082
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: outside of the NFL, but we'll talk about it all.

1083
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: Next right here on Texans All Access. What's up, everybody?

1084
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: Walking back this Wednesday issue of Texans All Access from Nowaday,

1085
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris Football on

1086
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: a sideline reporter for your Houston Texas. Glad you are

1087
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: here with me. Let's go around in the NFL. First,

1088
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: Let's hit that injury report for the Texans. Not an

1089
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: extensive one, thankfully, but a big one. Well talked about MJ.

1090
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: Stewart last week. He's still dealing with that knee issue.

1091
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: He is a DMP today in practice. Dalton Schultz. This

1092
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: happened actually early in the game against the Colts. I

1093
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: saw it on think of the very first drive. He

1094
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: ended up going down the seam on a route, got

1095
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: bumped and was kind of kind of hobbling a little

1096
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: bit after that play. Did go back into the game

1097
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: at that particular moment and through the rest of the game,

1098
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: but I did deal apparently with an ankle injury. He

1099
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: was a DMP today during practice. Now on the bear

1100
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: side only gets interesting now. I had read after the

1101
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 1: game on Sunday against the Titans that roam with Dunesday

1102
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: had to go for an MRI on his knee.

1103
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 2: He was a DMP.

1104
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: Now apparently didn't find anything. Maybe it's a sprain MCL

1105
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: or something like that. I don't think it found anything,

1106
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: but they weren't sure exactly how long it was gonna be,

1107
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 1: if anything was gonna happen. But it's definitely worth watching,

1108
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: especially because Keenan Allen is dealing with a heel issue.

1109
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: So both receivers Allan and a Dunsday two the big

1110
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: three for the Bears DMPs on Wednesday.

1111
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: Former Texan DeMarcus Walker.

1112
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: Was dealing with a foot He was a DMP, one

1113
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: of their starters on the defensive line. Limited participants Kieran

1114
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: Amagaji a quiet issue, Ryan Bates, offensive lineman, Kieran's offens,

1115
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: the lineman Kry Blasting in fullback Zach Pickins. They were

1116
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: all limited in practice. But those two wide receiver names

1117
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: and of course the Marcus Walker, those are three key

1118
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: players for that Bears squad that we're not able to

1119
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,959
Speaker 1: participate in practice on Wednesday. We'll see what it means

1120
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 1: for the rest of the week. Okay, speaking of the Bears,

1121
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: we're go men behind the mics next. One of our favorites,

1122
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. Jeff Joniac, longtime play by play

1123
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: voice of the Chicago Bears, sits down with Mark Van I.

1124
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 2: Mun next right here in Texans All Access. We got

1125
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: one hour down, one hour left to go.

1126
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: Right here on a Wednesday edtione that Texans All Access

Speaker 1: Texans and so very glad to be with you on

Speaker 1: this Wednesday evening.

1131
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: We've had Nick Cassario on the show already.

1132
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: Mark and I talked about our favorite prime time games

1133
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: here at NRG Stadium, which the Texans will have on

1134
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: Sunday at seven fifteen on NBC. If can't make it,

1135
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 1: but get in the stadium, get in there early, get

1136
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: your tailgates done, and let these guys know how much

1137
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: you appreciate him. Where white, where white white. I'm saying

1138
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: that for myself too, because I'll forget because I have

1139
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: the same thing that I wear each and every Sunday.

1140
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: But when we have a theme game like Battle Red

1141
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: Sunday or Battle Red usually it's Sunday, we have a

1142
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: battle Red game or we have Liberty White game. I

1143
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: gotta make sure remind myself to wear those particular colors.

1144
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: They're not too much white in my closet, so I'll

1145
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: have to go digging. Maybe you have to go to

1146
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: the store. Go to the store or two for the

1147
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: game and pick something up. The game will be at

1148
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: seven fifteen on NBC, but the two men that will

1149
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 1: call it for their respective organizationuns Mark vandermir and Jeff Joniak. Now,

1150
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: Mark and I hopped on with Jeff Joniak and Tom

1151
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: Thayer the other day for Chicago Radio.

1152
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: And man, it was awesome.

1153
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: We in fact, we might have some of that for

1154
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: you on I don't know, maybe Thursday, maybe Friday. That

1155
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: it was really really fun stuff. They were asking us

1156
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: the questions about the Texans, and then Tom Thayer dropped

1157
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: a nugget on us about number of games played in

1158
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: a calendar year. Because I was telling him about Khalid Davis,

1159
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: who played I think it was twenty eight in a

1160
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: calendar year. Tom Thayer has Khalid David beat by a

1161
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: long shot. So maybe we can get that audio and

1162
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: have that for you later week, because that was really

1163
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: really good. But Mark was able to sit down with

1164
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: one of our good friends. So I love Jeff Joniak.

1165
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: He's absolutely fantastic. Got to meet him through our combine

1166
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: trips and we always have him on the air when

1167
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: we go to the combine, so he's always great to

1168
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: have on the air. So man behind the mics, Mark

1169
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: Vandamer sitting down with Jeff Joniak, the voice of the

1170
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears.

1171
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 3: And we welcome in Jeff Joniac, the voice of the

1172
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears.

1173
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 4: We meet again, my friend.

1174
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 3: Whether it's the combine Texans Bears games, feels like that's

1175
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 3: happened more often than it used to because it has

1176
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 3: happened more often than it used to.

1177
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 4: And away we go.

1178
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 3: So, first of all, your review of Week one and

1179
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 3: thoughts on the excitement level in the city right now.

1180
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 7: Well, let me just tell you this. The stadium was

1181
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 7: as loud as I've ever heard it when opening kickoff occurred,

1182
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 7: That first quarter was crazy. When Caleb Williams is introduced,

1183
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 7: the place went bananas, They had white tow It felt

1184
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 7: like a playoff game. That's the intensity. Its honest to god,

1185
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 7: felt like a playoff game. So I always and they

1186
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 7: were great last year. The fans. They really were, even

1187
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 7: through the tough times, and you just hate to lose

1188
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 7: that crowd, right Well, you know the way the game

1189
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 7: was starting out, in the way it continued in the

1190
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 7: first half, we were losing the crowd a little bit,

1191
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 7: and then we got them back. The big plays obviously

1192
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 7: in the return game, the punt block, the pick six

1193
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 7: to put us over the top, that really erupted the joint.

1194
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 7: So it was a tough go offensively, but to be honest,

1195
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 7: nothing unexpected because first time starting quarterbacks have a tough

1196
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 7: time in this league and always have all.

1197
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 3: Right, Jeff, what can the Bears do to help out

1198
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams? How can it go better for them in

1199
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 3: Week two? And beyond? Offensively?

1200
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 7: You know everything come you know the way the plays

1201
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 7: are designed to the protection. To just get in some

1202
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 7: continuity and some timing, because no matter what happens in practice,

1203
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 7: and the Bears practice hard, they practice hard, they practice fast,

1204
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 7: but you can't replicate it all on game day because

1205
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 7: the opposition is also playing at a different hyper speed,

1206
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 7: as we all know once the regular season begins. Until

1207
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 7: you experience that, I know Caleb's experienced everything at the

1208
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 7: highest level of college football two major programs, has been

1209
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 7: in the prime time bright lights often, if not too

1210
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 7: big for him at any means, but just that continuity

1211
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 7: with the receivers and getting those reps that they only

1212
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 7: have gotten in practice, not in games, guys like Keenan

1213
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 7: Allen and Dj Moore. So yeah, just execution. I mean,

1214
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 7: that's the key to this thing is execution and being

1215
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 7: able to get everybody in sync. And I think, you know,

1216
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 7: his throws there were some that were a little over overthrown,

1217
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 7: some just a little off target, but he also ripped

1218
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 7: some really good ones and I'm excited. It doesn't dampen

1219
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 7: mind enthusiasm for him one iota. It won't by any

1220
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 7: means in this first season. I think he's got a

1221
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 7: super high ceiling and he's starting from a very high floor.

1222
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 3: What style of offense is this under Shane Waldren? What

1223
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 3: are they implementing from Seattle? How does it look different

1224
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 3: or similar? What can you share with us there, Jeff, you.

1225
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 7: Know, shy of really studying what Seattle? Did you know

1226
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 7: he liked using tight ends and he started the game

1227
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 7: with two tight end sets, so you know, we know

1228
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 7: he likes the tight end position, but he really had

1229
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 7: a lot of balance in the preseason, so I'm expecting

1230
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 7: that kind of attack, a balance attack, you know that

1231
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 7: Shanahan and Sean McVay, Tree producing your own Bobby Slowick

1232
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 7: down there. Obviously, all these have different variations. We look

1233
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 7: at how San Francisco as a magic of running thirty

1234
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 7: times a game of last night they ran more than that,

1235
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 7: and a backup running back goes and tears it up.

1236
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 2: So every one of.

1237
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 7: These kind of outside zone teams from that Tree produced

1238
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 7: different brand answers. I think what what Shane Waldron has

1239
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 7: emphasized that I have this unique bunch of talent and

1240
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 7: I'm going to put together an offense based around their strengths.

1241
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 7: And that's that's what he's trying to do. And it's

1242
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 7: going to take time to figure out what exactly all

1243
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 7: those strengths are, what makes taylid most comfortable, what plays

1244
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 7: are his go tos? And that'll take some time here

1245
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 7: with the course of the first month of the season

1246
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 7: or so I would imagine, But you know, it's it's

1247
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 7: that team, it's that scheme, and defenses I guess are

1248
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 7: getting used to it because I don't know if you

1249
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 7: noticed all the stats that are coming out after Week

1250
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 7: one passing touchdowns way down. The last couple of years,

1251
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 7: passing yards way down, but scorings up. It's weird. Our

1252
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 7: defense is adjusting, is is it? What's the answer to

1253
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 7: this question. I don't really know, because three years prior

1254
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 7: it was fifty and sixty touchdowns in Week one. In

1255
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 7: this last couple of weeks, last couple of seasons, it

1256
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 7: was like in the mid thirties.

1257
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then when you look at the year that

1258
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: Mahomes had, what fifty and you just don't have that

1259
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 3: right now in this era of NFL football, though the

1260
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 3: year is young, Jeff, I haven't talked so much special

1261
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: teams in years until this season with the new kickoff

1262
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 3: rule and everything else involving special teams, and the Bears

1263
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 3: scored on special teams. Texans had a punt block against them.

1264
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: What about that phase of the game for the Chicago Bears,

1265
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 3: because you know they're going to be working hard on

1266
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 3: it on both sides this week.

1267
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I love it. You know, I almost got

1268
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 7: hired of hearing about a it's a three phase game.

1269
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 7: When you take away one of the most exciting plays

1270
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 7: in football with a return game the way it's been

1271
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 7: ruled and now it's back, and you know, I'm still

1272
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 7: seeing too many touch packs for my taste. I want

1273
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 7: to see that bomb play. You know, we're promised, what

1274
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 7: sixteen hundred more plays and then it's going to be

1275
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 7: a you know, a design run play, and hey, I

1276
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 7: hope that ultimately happens. I think in the spirit of

1277
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 7: the rule change. Those coordinators that got involved with it,

1278
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 7: including our own Richard Hightower, yes, you know that that

1279
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 7: was hopefully going to be the case. But you know,

1280
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 7: still a lot of touchbacks out there. But that being said,

1281
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 7: it's a three phase game for a reason. It's super important.

1282
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 7: And you know, your own Frank Bush is outstanding. You

1283
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 7: guys were the top special teams unit in the league,

1284
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 7: I believe last year according to the rankings of our

1285
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 7: good friend at the Dallas Morning News. And you know,

1286
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 7: I want that to be a part of of of

1287
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 7: every aspect of the game. It's fourth down is a

1288
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 7: is some kind of killer down man. It can break

1289
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 7: you or or it can make you make you quite

1290
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 7: wealthy in the win department. So yeah, Daniel Hardy, a

1291
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 7: young defensive end. You know, I had a great rush

1292
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 7: up the middle of the block a punt and it

1293
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,919
Speaker 7: just happened to bounce in the hands of I guess

1294
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 7: we can call him the Golden Boy now right, uh,

1295
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 7: you know, the husband of Simone Biles, where gold is

1296
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 7: king in that family. The scoop and score for the

1297
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 7: touchdown for Jonathan and that was a great play and

1298
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 7: really turned the game around for the Bears, took the

1299
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 7: momentum in their favor. We had a sixty seven yard

1300
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 7: kickoff return by the Carter, so that was big. Also

1301
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 7: had a muff by Bayless Jones that set the Titans

1302
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 7: up for a field goal and that was a horrible play,

1303
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 7: horrible situation, and so a lot of special teams impact

1304
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 7: in this game.

1305
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 3: Yep, Yependid Richard high Tower, former marketing intern for the

1306
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 3: Houston Texans marketing an incredible time.

1307
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, I talked to him about that at length.

1308
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 7: I had no knowledge of that until he brought it up.

1309
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 7: And what a long way to get to where you're going.

1310
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 4: You just never know, You never know.

1311
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 3: And it's great to see Jo make a play because

1312
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 3: we enjoyed having him here. We miss having some own

1313
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 3: Biles around too as a Houston Texans person, even though

1314
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 3: she's a Houstonian. Okay, let me ask you about defense now,

1315
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 3: because the Bears last year.

1316
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:55,240
Speaker 4: He won seven games.

1317
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 3: It's hard to win seven games in this league, and

1318
00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 3: defense was a big part of that. What about the

1319
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 3: defense this year? How is it different? How can it

1320
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:02,720
Speaker 3: be better?

1321
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1322
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 7: Those seven wins came in the final thirteen games, so

1323
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 7: they finished seven and six and now kick off the

1324
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 7: season with a harder and Week one win. The defense

1325
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 7: from the time the season began, I felt that it

1326
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 7: was going to be a unit that you had to

1327
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 7: lean on early on until Caleb and the offense gets

1328
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 7: their sea legs, and that proved to be the case.

1329
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 7: Jalen Johnson was terrific again, just completely shutting down the

1330
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 7: opposition at corner. He's one of the highest paid players

1331
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 7: on the team. He's really taken a leadership role in

1332
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 7: a vocal way, but he just training camp. He was unreal.

1333
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 7: And I think the addition of Keenan Allen and the

1334
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 7: continued excellence of DJ Moore and the addition of Romadunze

1335
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 7: just sharpened the steel of that secondary. It is the

1336
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 7: prominent unit on this football team until further notice. I mean,

1337
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 7: they make some plays back there and it was hard

1338
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 7: to cut that unit at the cut the fifty three.

1339
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 7: You know, they had a bunch of great plays on Sunday.

1340
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 7: Brisker at ten tackles, fifteen for TJ. Edwards, didn't allow

1341
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 7: anything after contact, anything after the catch in a short

1342
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 7: passing game and the pass rush. You know, we're looking

1343
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 7: forward to seeing the development of Javon Dexter Senior. He

1344
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 7: had himself a sack in that game. And I really

1345
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 7: believe that in this year too, for this big long

1346
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 7: defensive tackle playing the three technique role in this defense,

1347
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,439
Speaker 7: if he emerges this defense to put them over the top,

1348
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 7: and that's what we're looking for. And then you know,

1349
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 7: out of the Seattle Seahawks organization, Darryl Taylor comes in

1350
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 7: with very few reps with the defense and he just

1351
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 7: rushed the quarterback. He had eight tackles and two sacks.

1352
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 7: So that was a pleasant surprise.

1353
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 3: In Week one, Jeff two years ago, these two teams met.

1354
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 3: They're very different right now. Yeah, justin fields, Rokwan Smith others.

1355
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 3: The Texans were starting Davis Mills. What are people at Chicago.

1356
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 3: I know we still have some weak left here, but

1357
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 3: what are people in Chicago saying about the Houston Texans

1358
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 3: heading into this one.

1359
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, haven't heard him yet. Yeah, it is early,

1360
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 7: It is early. But you know, there's one guy that

1361
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,439
Speaker 7: that makes me nervous time. There's more than one guy.

1362
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 7: Houston Texans are a very very good football team. Jimiko Ryans.

1363
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 7: I've loved him since he was at Alabama. I love

1364
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 7: his demeanor, I love his football intelligence. I loved him

1365
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 7: as a player of the forty nine ers, and he's

1366
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 7: an outstanding young coach. But Daniel Hunter causes me nightmares.

1367
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 7: He did with the Minnesota Vikings. He is the man

1368
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 7: who sacked Gustin Fields last year and knocked him out

1369
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 7: for a month of the season. He's a predator out

1370
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 7: there and paired with Will Anderson, and to me, it's

1371
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 7: one of my first He's to the game. Got to

1372
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 7: make sure they don't recavoc and ruin your game plan.

1373
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 7: Those two cats right there. You guys have a very

1374
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 7: balanced team. Forget about a balanced attack on offense. Now

1375
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 7: at Joe Mixon, I mean, is this the Arian Foster era?

1376
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 7: I mean, is this what I have to look forward

1377
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 7: to on Sunday night? Because my god, he was banging people.

1378
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 7: I mean that tape was impressive to watch it, Joe

1379
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 7: Mixon and where the offensive line did as well, and

1380
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 7: the ball possession time, my goodness, an incredible amount right there.

1381
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 7: So's there's a lot to worry about with the Houston Texans,

1382
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 7: as much weaponry as any you know, we were talking

1383
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 7: about this in our pregame. You know, some of the

1384
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 7: best trios of weaponry at the receiver position. You know,

1385
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 7: down in Tennessee they can make claim they've got some

1386
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 7: pretty good ones as well, But Houston's right up there

1387
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 7: now with Stefan Diggs out of that bunch, and I

1388
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 7: think Nico Collins, from my perspective, doesn't get enough attention.

1389
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 7: I think he's vastly underrated in this league. And he's

1390
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 7: a man that is definitely going to be somebody that's

1391
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 7: gonna get everybody's eyes on for sure.

1392
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 3: Jeff Joniac, voice of the Bears, with us a couple more.

1393
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 3: Jeff helped me out with the division.

1394
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 4: We don't have to.

1395
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 3: Talk about Detroit right now, but the Texans will first

1396
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 3: play after the Bears, Minnesota then green Bay. What have

1397
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 3: out those two teams, and obviously with green Bay if

1398
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 3: no Jordan Love available, different team. But what are your

1399
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 3: thoughts on those two squads.

1400
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean Green Bay that's a big hit. I

1401
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 7: don't know how long they're not putting him on IR

1402
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 7: so maybe they're thinking it's going to be on the

1403
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 7: lower end of that three to six weeks with the

1404
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 7: mcl But Malik Willis man, that's gonna be a tough ask.

1405
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a tough ass. But I do respect

1406
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 7: that head coach and how he handles his business and

1407
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 7: how he gets his offense prepared. He's done a great

1408
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 7: job over there from Matt Lafleur. You know, I do

1409
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 7: put some faith in him. That is a good defensive team.

1410
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 7: They've got a lot of studs on that unit, and

1411
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 7: they got Josh Jacobs and aj Dillon to run the football,

1412
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 7: so maybe they'll lean on that. So I'm not going

1413
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 7: to diminish of the Packers at this point until I

1414
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 7: see what what Malik Willis looks like. If Sam Donald's

1415
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 7: that good, that's a lookout then for the rest of

1416
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 7: the division. You know, I mean, I knew there was

1417
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 7: gonna be competition of sorts with JJ McCarthy, but the

1418
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 7: Darnald was going to start Week one, but boy, he

1419
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 7: played well he had some great throws in that win.

1420
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 7: So uh and then you know Detroit's Detroit. They're a

1421
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 7: title contender, and that is one of the toughest now,

1422
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 7: if not the loudest place to play in the NFL.

1423
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: Not there.

1424
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 7: My broadcast partner was talking about that into last year

1425
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 7: because once they get Thanksgiving, you know, years ago, not

1426
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 7: that far removed from Dan Campbell, you go in there

1427
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 7: and the suites were dark. Nobody was going. Now that

1428
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 7: place is rocking and a rolling to steal your turn, bug, buddy.

1429
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 2: And so it's a.

1430
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 7: Dangerous division, as is as is your own AFC South.

1431
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 7: And I wonder, I wonder how the Bears are going

1432
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 7: to prevail in the AFC South this year because we

1433
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 7: get the entire division as you get the NFC North.

1434
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 3: Well you're one and oh so that's a good start.

1435
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 3: All right, one more for you. Obviously we're doing this

1436
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 3: one in Houston. But if I went to Chicago and

1437
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 3: tried to find a New York style pizza a slice

1438
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 3: of New York cheese, could I get it? And how

1439
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 3: defensive and protective are the Chicago Landers of their own

1440
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 3: deep dish pizza?

1441
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, you got it? You know they are I don't

1442
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 7: do the deep dish anymore because I'm old and fat,

1443
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 7: so I gotta lay off the heavy car roll. So yeah,

1444
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 7: I'm a thin guy now, so not literally but figuratively,

1445
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 7: I'm going to the thin. I'm sure you can get

1446
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 7: a slice here. I'm sure you can roll it in

1447
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 7: half and eat it that way. I hear there's Detroit

1448
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 7: style pizza now is a big thing. It comes out

1449
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 7: like in a rectangular pan. That's pretty much doey but outstanding.

1450
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 7: But yeah, chicagoan's you know, you don't put ketchup on

1451
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 7: a hot dog and you gotta go with the deep

1452
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 7: dish here in Chicago.

1453
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 4: Awesome stuff. Jeff, thanks a lot for joining us.

1454
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 7: Appreciate it, buddy.

1455
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I love having Jeff Joniac on the air.

1456
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Just love that guy. Man, he is fantastic. We've been

1457
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: lucky in our travels to be able to meet some

1458
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: really really good people on broadcast cruise from throughout the NFL. Now,

1459
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: there are some bad seeds, but for the most part, man,

1460
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: we run some really really good people. Especially to start

1461
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: the year, Matt Taylor, he salted the Earth with Indy

1462
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: for sure, Jeff Joniac and then our guy Paul Allen

1463
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: will be next week. That's gonna really be some front stuff.

1464
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: Then Frank Frazie and then the new voice of the

1465
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, Chris Brown, who we know a little bit.

1466
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: So that's what we have the first five weeks of

1467
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: the year. But that was great stuff from Jeff Joniak. Okay,

1468
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: it's time to go in the lab. That means Drew

1469
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Doherty's gonna stop by with me next. Let's go in

1470
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: the lab right here on Texans All Access. Yes, sir,

1471
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: let's get back to it right here on Wednesday edition

1472
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: of the Texans All Access from London, Texans Radio Studio.

1473
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football and all the Sadeline Reporter

1474
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: for your Houston Texans get ready for a game against

1475
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, seven fifteen Sunday night. And it's been

1476
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: a long time since we've been able to say that

1477
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game at NRG Stadium.

1478
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1479
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: Our playoff games that we've had have all been in

1480
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: the afternoon. We had a couple of Thursday games. We've

1481
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: not been able to say, hey, we're getting ready for

1482
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game at home in five years. In fact,

1483
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we've been able to say this Sunday

1484
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: night game anywhere for a while.

1485
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 2: In fact, since I've been on the sidelines.

1486
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: Now I think about it, all the Sunday night games

1487
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: that we've had have all been at home.

1488
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 2: I think, I'm pretty sure.

1489
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Like we've had some Monday nighters on the road, plenty

1490
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: of Monday nighters on the road, but if I remember correctly,

1491
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: all the Sunday night games since twenty fourteen have all

1492
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: been at home, which I'm totally fine with. I remember

1493
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen was my first. Would think that was the

1494
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: first one against the Patriots. That game got flexed, and

1495
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: that was game JJ Watt played with that big old

1496
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: bulb on his hand. And then there were Sunday night

1497
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: games along the way, and then at twenty nineteen they stopped.

1498
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 2: After nineteen they stopped.

1499
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: So now we're back and the Sunday night games this

1500
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: year both at home. You've got the Bears and then

1501
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: the Lions, so that's kind of nice. I like the

1502
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night at home thing, because Sunday night on the

1503
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: road getting back and then doing radio eight o'clock in

1504
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: the morning would be rather dicey. Mark and I would

1505
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: do it. It just wouldn't be all that all that

1506
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: good on the body in the mind, but we would

1507
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: do it. Don't have to worry about it. It will

1508
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: be a late night Sunday night on it Monday morning,

1509
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: so we will be dragging a little bit Monday morning.

1510
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 2: But hopefully we're talking about a win over the Bears,

1511
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 2: which makes it very very nice.

1512
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: But right here, Drew, Dorny and I go in the

1513
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: lab to talk about this game and our final thoughts

1514
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: from the wind over the Colts.

1515
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 8: In the lab is right now and I'm Drew, that's John,

1516
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 8: and here are you, and we're thankful that you are

1517
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 8: with us. John, what's a way to begin? There have

1518
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 8: been opening day victories and they're all sweet, but this

1519
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 8: one just smacks a little bit sweeter than the rest.

1520
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 8: A little bit later on we can talk about that.

1521
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 8: We're also going to raise the glass thanks to Medello

1522
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 8: and toast some of the good stuff that was going

1523
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 8: on this weekend. We're also going to have a Cream

1524
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 8: of the Crop award winner. But we got to start

1525
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 8: with this, John, how much damn fun was that on

1526
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 8: Sunday for you being there on the sidelines and a

1527
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 8: place where the Texans have not historically done all that well,

1528
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 8: but historically lately they have.

1529
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right, that's three in a row in Indy.

1530
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: I tried to I started to think, had we had

1531
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: we beat the Colts at home three in a row?

1532
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that we.

1533
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 8: Had ten and eleven and twelve.

1534
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: I guess, kind eleven and twelve, So yeah, we had

1535
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: done it at home.

1536
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 5: We had not.

1537
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: I knew for a fact we had not done it

1538
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: on the road, because all I do is go back

1539
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: to twenty fifteen, right, But that's my eleventh Colt Texans

1540
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: game in Indy and that's six and five.

1541
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 2: So pretty good, man, all right, pretty good about going

1542
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 2: up the Indie. But it was it.

1543
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, there are a lot of people that have

1544
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: a lot of different theories and things, you know, and

1545
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on that game, and we'll get into ours. But

1546
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: to go up there week one scene of the crime

1547
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: playing them again in the regular season, when you ended

1548
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 1: the regular season, their hype video was all about seeing

1549
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,799
Speaker 1: us and facing Houston and all that kind of stuff.

1550
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: And then to go in there and win the way

1551
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: that you did, regardless of whether it was by two

1552
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: or by twenty, I think just spoke volumes about what

1553
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 1: this team is going to be able to do this year,

1554
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: and I thought that, to me was probably the more.

1555
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 2: Special thing about it.

1556
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: I felt like, and I said this to Mark on

1557
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: radio on Monday, I felt like we played our B

1558
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: minus game. I don't know that we played our top

1559
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: notch game. Gave up four sacks, which I didn't think

1560
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: this offensive line would do, but you know, gave up

1561
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,839
Speaker 1: four sacks. They were primed to get to the quarterback

1562
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: to get the CJ. And I saw a tweet earlier

1563
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: today drew today being Tuesday, and it was from Nate Atkins,

1564
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 1: who covers the Colts h for The Indie Star, and

1565
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley was at his press conference and he said, yeah, yeah.

1566
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: He said essentially what we said last last week, which was,

1567
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: if you're going to play take on the Texans, you

1568
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: got to take away c J. Stroud in the passing game,

1569
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: and I take it away, but you gotta limit it.

1570
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: So you've got to be lighter in a box to

1571
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 1: play nickel and dime to do all that to take

1572
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: away you know, passing opportunities and dare the Texas run

1573
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 1: the ball? And the Texans said, okay, bet and they

1574
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: ran the ball and.

1575
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 8: To that, to that end, I want to raise the glass.

1576
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 8: I want to raise the glass in Medello.

1577
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 2: Boom, boom, cheers.

1578
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 8: Two hundred and thirteen yards forty Harry's better than five

1579
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 8: yards of rush? What have we seen around here for

1580
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 8: the last three years? You got you know what you

1581
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 8: got to do. You have to go back to David

1582
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 8: Johnson to find a back that averaged better than four

1583
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 8: yards of carry as a Houston Texan. Get it, or

1584
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 8: a team better than four yards of carry as a

1585
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 8: Texan Texans. When you run the ball forty times, it's

1586
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 8: damn near impossible to lose. And the Texans were able

1587
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 8: to do that forty times. Just control the game that

1588
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 8: way and mixing goodness, gracious, he had some pop in it,

1589
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 8: but golly, that offensive line. Welcome back Kenyan Green in

1590
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 8: a big, big way. Welcome back Juice Scruggs. First game

1591
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 8: at center as a professional here with the Texans.

1592
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:32,520
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

1593
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 9: That was a tour to four.

1594
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 8: I mean, you gotta go back to probably the Arian

1595
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 8: Foster game against the Colts in twenty ten to top

1596
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 8: what we saw. I know the Texans might have run

1597
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 8: for more yards in their past, sure, but goodness gracious

1598
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,759
Speaker 8: to do what they did after what we've seen around

1599
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 8: here the last four or five years. My goodness, John,

1600
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 8: that was so so impressive, and Mixing and Digs and

1601
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 8: everybody you know out on the edges they were all

1602
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 8: saying kudos to that line because they really made it happen,

1603
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 8: and Digs also, excuse me, mix and also said, well,

1604
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 8: the wide receivers were blocking well in my full back

1605
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 8: and my tight ends all that. But go, wow, the

1606
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 8: offensive line they get that glass raise this week.

1607
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wow.

1608
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Just watching them play after play after play, I just like, man,

1609
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Joe's got some you know. And I'll be honest, the

1610
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: sideline doesn't always have the greatest view of how.

1611
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 2: It's going on.

1612
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you can, you can see, but you can

1613
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: you just kind of feel the way that the game

1614
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: is going and headed, and you could just tell that

1615
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: offensive line was getting more and more confident. And if

1616
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 1: my math is correct, Joe had nine carries at halftime,

1617
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: so he ended up thirty. Now I'll double check my

1618
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: math see if I can do that real fast as

1619
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: I talk, But twenty one carries in the second half,

1620
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's impressive.

1621
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 2: But you know, you're right.

1622
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 8: It's nine nine for fifty five at the half. Yeah,

1623
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 8: that's a that's a good output at the half.

1624
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 2: Nine, I mean the second half.

1625
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 1: In the second half he was twenty ma Matha's right,

1626
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: twenty one for one oh four.

1627
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a game. And a touchdown.

1628
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: There were just so many different things, you know, take

1629
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: the touchdown for instance, When was the last time you

1630
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: saw the Texans on you know, inside the low red

1631
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: zone tossed the ball to running back and run it

1632
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: right in the end zone like they're not even standing there?

1633
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 2: Like when have they done that? They mean, I.

1634
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: Can't, I don't know when was the last time. Obviously

1635
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: a back like Joe Mixon, you know, changes everything. But

1636
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 1: when was the last time you saw that front for

1637
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: the Colts just being given the business by the Texan

1638
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: zone line? Never not since the Forest Buckner got there

1639
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. When he got there in twenty twenty

1640
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: and he'd come by with Grover Stewart, Texans hadn't been

1641
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: able to move that front attack that for them been

1642
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:51,799
Speaker 1: able to do anything.

1643
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 8: It's always one of the five things to watch when

1644
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 8: I write that that weekly are and you you included

1645
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 8: it in your preview as well. Was that tandem. I

1646
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 8: mean you got to keep see just drought safe and

1647
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 8: you got to try and do what you can against

1648
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 8: him because they're just fearsome, you know.

1649
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 2: The force.

1650
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 8: Buckner's at all pro for a reason. I mean he

1651
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 8: has and he got his a little bit on on Sunday.

1652
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 9: He got a sack.

1653
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 8: You know, I think Grosstroup might have got a sack too,

1654
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 8: But they they got got a little bit in the

1655
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 8: passing game.

1656
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 9: But man on the.

1657
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 8: Whole, they were part of a unit that just got

1658
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 8: got worn out on the ground and that was that

1659
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 8: was huge for the Texans.

1660
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: Well, you know, going back to the twenty NATEE Atkins,

1661
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 1: Nate Atkins had said that Gus Bradley had decided that

1662
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: they were gonna play a lighter box to you know,

1663
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 1: cover the pass like okay, So they basically dared the

1664
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Texans like, all right, let's see how let's see if

1665
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: you've improved, Yeah, whether you've improved. And then in the

1666
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: second half, but by that point it's too late to

1667
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: make a bunch of adjustments. But the last one I

1668
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: would I would say is when's the last time that

1669
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: And I know Nico made the catch on third now, like,

1670
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: ID get that, but then you've still got to get

1671
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: a first down to run the clock out third and three.

1672
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean even with previous quarterbacks, you know the guy

1673
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: with the Browns right now, you know with CJ.

1674
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 2: Third and three, that's a throwing down or it's been

1675
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 2: a throwing down.

1676
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, what you do?

1677
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:11,480
Speaker 2: You got an affirmation?

1678
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: You turn and tossed it to Joe Mixon and he

1679
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: ran behind a rookie cased over and they went and

1680
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: got how many every yards? Eight nine yards to finish

1681
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: the game. And again, when have you seen that happen?

1682
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: It just hasn't happened. And so to see those things

1683
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 1: and go, oh boy, and then I started thinking, okay,

1684
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: the game is immediately over.

1685
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 2: Then I'm excited and we're all excited.

1686
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: But my my mind immediately went to if you're the Bears,

1687
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: having just watched that.

1688
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 9: Game, yeah, how do you prepare now?

1689
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 2: What do you do now? Because you didn't?

1690
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 5: What are you going to take away?

1691
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 8: And are you even going to be able to take

1692
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,759
Speaker 8: that thing that you're trying to take away away?

1693
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 2: Right exactly? And that's that's it. That's now.

1694
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: That's it's tough. And now you know, I think the

1695
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 1: Bears front is good. I don't know that it's at

1696
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: the level of the the It's differently constructed, I should say,

1697
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: because I think the Bears are better on the edges

1698
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: than the Colts. The Colts are better on the interior

1699
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: than the Bears. But either way, you're facing a pretty

1700
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: stout front again. But are you gonna are those Eric

1701
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Washington defensive coordinator gonna choose to have a light box

1702
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: again so they can cover the pass or do they

1703
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: not want to get absolutely obliterated on national television with

1704
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: the rung game. So it's what we've talked about for

1705
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: a long time and what we know that Bobby Slowek

1706
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:24,600
Speaker 1: wanted to do.

1707
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 2: Offensively, the left hand doesn't get you. The right hand will.

1708
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 1: And there were times last year where all you had

1709
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: was the right hand and that right hand was so

1710
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: good that.

1711
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 2: Defenses couldn't stop it.

1712
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now if you've got both hands, it's like,

1713
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: oh man, that's now scary. Now defensively, you got to

1714
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: quick giving up the explosives. That's gotta stop. That's in

1715
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, we can't be allergic to stop and those

1716
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: those explosives.

1717
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 2: That's gotta stop.

1718
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: But I do think some of those were just based

1719
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: on the superhuman human being that was Anthony Richardson.

1720
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I'm gonna say this that first one on

1721
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 8: TV watching.

1722
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:03,560
Speaker 2: It, his right.

1723
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 8: Tackle was on top of him because the Texans had

1724
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 8: pushed the right and I was like, what just happened there?

1725
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 8: And then everybody's talking about how he slipped and I

1726
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 8: was like, well, I didn't see any slipped, but I

1727
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 8: did see his right tackle pretty much in his lap

1728
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 8: and then he launches that thing. Like Anthony Richardson is

1729
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 8: a freak of nature. He's frightening, He's really really good.

1730
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 8: That's the reason that game was so close, because you

1731
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 8: have a freak of nature like that. So it was

1732
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 8: really really something. And yeah, you do have to yes,

1733
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 8: you have to limit explosives, but I mean, what the

1734
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 8: hell else were you going to do on that. I mean,

1735
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 8: maybe your safeties are a little bit deeper on that one,

1736
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 8: but it was kind of a fifty to fifty ball

1737
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 8: that you just didn't get. But yeah, I was, I was,

1738
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 8: really really I was. I was ecstatic by what I saw.

1739
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 8: I mean just so much, very much so.

1740
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people have kind of

1741
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 2: freaked out.

1742
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: Oh my god, if Anthony Richardson's going to be that good,

1743
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, the whole point is this. And I saw

1744
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: after the game I was I was on a bus.

1745
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: We actually were driving for the bus back to Energy

1746
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 1: Stadium afterwards, and at that point then you know that's true.

1747
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: You're just exhausted. You're just like your eyes are half

1748
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:10,600
Speaker 1: open and you're like, well. And so I saw this

1749
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 1: article from Colts dot Com saying, don't get caught in

1750
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 1: the loss. Look at what Anthony Richardson can do. And

1751
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, that's that's all well and good. But

1752
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: he did it for one game. Yeah, So to me,

1753
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 1: I look at our guy, and I'm like, that's what

1754
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 1: he does every game?

1755
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 2: C J. Stroud.

1756
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's show what he can do, but can he

1757
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: do it over and over again? And once he starts

1758
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: doing that, then I'll be like, Okay, now you can

1759
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: maybe be on our level, but until then, you made

1760
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: some superhuman plays.

1761
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:51,440
Speaker 2: And if we don't give those plays up, his stat.

1762
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Line looks garbage. Yeah, and the Colts look like garbage.

1763
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 1: But he kind of saved them and bailed him out.

1764
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: That's why you drafted number four, So we'll see how

1765
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: pans out. We don't have to worry about them for

1766
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. The Colts, you know, they took one

1767
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And the one thing I always think about

1768
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: with the Colts, especially since Chris Ballad took over Drew,

1769
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: is the fact that Ballard likes to win with the trenches.

1770
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: He wants to win with freakyzoid athletes up front on

1771
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: both sides, ground you into submission, and just get all.

1772
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 2: Over you with that defensive line.

1773
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: And since twenty twenty, twenty twenty, they've been able to

1774
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: do that to us and just grind us the dust.

1775
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: Basically since Ballard took over in twenty seventeen. That not

1776
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: only was the way the Colts could beat us, it

1777
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: was the only way the Colts could beat us. Then

1778
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: they got their only way they could win stuff right

1779
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: back and down, right back, down her throat because Jonathan

1780
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: Taylor runs for forty eight yards three yards of carry

1781
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: and we ran for one p fifty nine with Joe

1782
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: Mixon and two thirteen. Overall, it's the only way the

1783
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 1: Colts could win, could win, that could have won that

1784
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: game and win games. And yeah, now Richardson maybe opens

1785
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: up and Or's box. We'll see whether he's consistent enough

1786
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: to do it. But that was the way they could

1787
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: win games, and we just took that way and stuffed

1788
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: it right down their chest.

1789
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:10,759
Speaker 9: So it's kind of delicious.

1790
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 2: It was good.

1791
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 8: No, I love love seeing that. Okay, daneil Hunter has

1792
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 8: played fourteen games all time against the Chicago Bears. In

1793
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 8: those fourteen games, he has seven and a half sacks.

1794
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 8: He's got fourteen tackles for loss. The cream of the

1795
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,799
Speaker 8: cropper on Sunday, if the Texas Sunday evening Monday morning,

1796
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 8: if the Texans have won, for me, the cream of

1797
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 8: the crop is gonna be Daniel Hunter. I think he's

1798
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 8: gonna get a sack. We saw nice interior stuff from

1799
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 8: Mario Edwards from fully thought of Cossi, who you had

1800
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 8: mentioned throughout training camp on your hairshits. They were causing problems.

1801
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 8: Then they caused problems on Sunday. I want to see

1802
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 8: some problems caused by Daniel Hunter, who was causing problems

1803
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 8: but he just didn't get the sack on Sunday against

1804
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 8: the Colts. I think he's going to get some this weekend.

1805
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 8: He is my cream of the cropper, the cream of

1806
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 8: the crop. Thank you, macho man, And I want to

1807
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 8: hear who yours is going to be Monday morning when

1808
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 8: we wake up after hopefully a Texans win.

1809
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 1: Man, my thoughts are just racing because there's so many

1810
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: of them. But I feel like, I feel like the

1811
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 1: tight ends I'm gonna go a double dip here. I

1812
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 1: feel like Dalton Schultz and Kate Stover are gonna get

1813
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: a little bit in the passing game. They can get

1814
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 1: a bunch. You know, Nico had six catches, Steph had six,

1815
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: Tank get three. I think Dalton had three. I don't

1816
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 1: think Stover got any targets. You know, Brev had won.

1817
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: But I think it's the tight ends. I think it's Stover, Schultz,

1818
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:33,879
Speaker 1: Brevin that are gonna do something on Sunday night.

1819
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 2: That changes the game.

1820
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 1: And I just feel like it's time because Okay, the

1821
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: tight ends had their or the wide receivers had their day.

1822
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 2: We got it all spread out and they'll get some

1823
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 2: against the Bears.

1824
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 1: But the Bears corners pretty good, Tyreck Stevenson and Jalen

1825
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: Johnson pretty solid.

1826
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 2: I think their safety group is pretty good.

1827
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 1: Nicol Kyler Gordon pretty good. But I just feel like

1828
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: the Texans can play around with your personnel in if

1829
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: they put Stover in a game where they put Schultz

1830
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: in the game and put them at full back, Like,

1831
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: how do you treat that?

1832
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 2: Are you going to try and match that with Nickel

1833
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:05,639
Speaker 2: or with pace?

1834
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: And I thought the Colts had a hard time kind

1835
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: of matching with that when we went into certain formations.

1836
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: They wanted to match with their you know, Carlives with

1837
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,600
Speaker 1: their Sam linebacker, but then Carlis will go out and

1838
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: then Kenny Moore bumped inside, and then they would bring

1839
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: in Jalen Jones on certain other formations, and I felt

1840
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: like they kind of struggled with that personnel matching. I

1841
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: think in that against the Bears this week, I think

1842
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: that those three tight ends, brev Cade and Dalton can

1843
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 1: end up having a pretty good game. So I'm going

1844
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: with the tight ends as my cream of the croppers.

1845
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 2: I like it.

1846
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 8: I like it all right. I love talking to football

1847
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 8: with you. It's great to have the season back. Let's

1848
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 8: raise raise the glass of that. I mean, the season

1849
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,240

1891

1898
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,720

1899
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 11: the fans are going to bring the energy. Uh you know,

1900
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 11: there's never a doubt in my mind that we're going

1901
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 11: to bring the energy with it as well. So it's

1902

Speaker 11: gonna be a good time in NRG Stadium. It's gonna

1903
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 11: be a really good time.

1904
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 10: Growing up, did you watch Sunday Night Football?

1905
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 9: No? Not really.

1906
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 11: My parents were kind of strict on with you know,

1907
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 11: the whole bedtime things. If it like once it got

1908
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 11: to a certain time frame like eight thirty, maybe it

1909
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 11: was lights out for ex.

1910
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 9: TV off, none of that.

1911
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 10: That's funny growing up. You grew up in Jacksonville. Were

1912
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 10: you a Jacks fan?

1913
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 9: Yeah? I was. I was, yeah, not not even on

1914
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 9: the load, to be honest with you.

1915
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 11: I was a big, big, reached Joute Drew fan and

1916
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 11: Fred Taylor, so you know I rocked with him.

1917
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 10: But Jailer husband out here a few times. Have you

1918
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 10: gotten to meet him?

1919
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I still haven't went up to him though.

1920
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 11: You know, it's like he's like one of those like

1921
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 11: childhood you know what I'm saying. So it's like I

1922
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 11: never I never got past that little I still view

1923
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 11: him as, you know, as that's the whole another.

1924
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 10: Subject, like that's your role model, that's who you looked

1925
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 10: up to growing up.

1926
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, kind of.

1927
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 11: I guess you could really just say, like start them

1928
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 11: blown away, that like Fred Taylor would be in front

1929
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 11: of me.

1930
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1931
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 11: I mean, he's definitely someone that you know, I idolized when.

1932
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 9: I was younger.

1933
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 10: So your journey to the NFL has been unique in

1934
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,480
Speaker 10: the way that you went. You start off in Jacksonville,

1935
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 10: you went to Juco in Texas, then you went to Iowa,

1936
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 10: now Houston in the NFL. What city has been your

1937
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 10: favorite and how have you adjusted to Houston coming from

1938
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:39,679
Speaker 10: Jacksonville in Iowa.

1939
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a tough one. Which one was my favorite?

1940
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 11: I think, to be honest with you, this is probably

1941
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 11: a cop out answer, but I really enjoyed all of

1942
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 11: them because they all brought like different things, like Brenham

1943
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,799
Speaker 11: being out in Blend that's like country like country country,

1944
01:25:54,840 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 11: Like only two supermarkets there, Jack in a box Burger McDonald's,

1945
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 11: like that's all you could really eat, and then I

1946
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:04,719
Speaker 11: a would stay. It was just more of the slow

1947
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 11: paced life, very laid back, not much going on and

1948
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 11: then here it's just it's completely different. It's like you

1949
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 11: can do whatever you want, whenever you want. There's tons

1950
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,600
Speaker 11: of attractions that you could do, so I mean, I like,

1951
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 11: I enjoy all of them, to be honest with you,

1952
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 11: And yeah, that's really it's really it.

1953
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 10: What are some things you do on your free time

1954
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 10: when you're not playing football.

1955
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 11: I try to go out to restaurants, just because everybody

1956
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 11: keeps telling me I need to.

1957
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 9: Like I'm a door dash fiend.

1958
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 11: Uh So I've been trying to get out of my

1959
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 11: comfort zone, trying to, you know, just find new places.

1960
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 11: The taco stand, I don't know if it's called the

1961
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 11: taco stand or taco stand, but it's like in the

1962
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 11: I don't want to be wrong in saying it, but

1963
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 11: I think it's like in the Newer Heights areat. No,

1964
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,560
Speaker 11: it's like a little it's like a little, small, little restaurant.

1965
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 11: But no, it's actually super good. They got a little

1966
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 11: case Idias. It's like a brisky case ce. It's pretty good.

1967
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 10: It's pretty good. What is your earliest sports memory. I mean,

1968
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 10: growing up, you played sports.

1969
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is probably a bad one, but my first

1970
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 11: memory of football is definitely my first game, I was

1971
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 11: like five years old. I'm playing with like I'm pretty

1972
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 11: sure I'm playing with the six year olds. I think

1973
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 11: my dad's a head coach. He finally puts me in

1974
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 11: the game. He gives me like a twelve dive, just

1975
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 11: straight up the middle, right, the biggest kid on the

1976
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 11: other team. He plays defensive line. Of course, he comes

1977
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 11: through untouched. I'm talking about obliterates me. Like in the

1978
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 11: I'm like, chin shrap, all messed up. My dad always

1979
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 11: says he remembers just the most. I don't remember this,

1980
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 11: but he said that I just looked up at him

1981
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:44,639
Speaker 11: and I said, I didn't drop the football.

1982
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 9: And so that's he always loves.

1983
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 11: I mean, now I've gotten older, he still loves to

1984
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 11: bring up that story.

1985
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 9: He just says that's when he knew I was going

1986
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:52,839
Speaker 9: to be a football player.

1987
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 11: So maybe we give him credit for that or you know,

1988
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 11: but that's definitely probably the first thing that I remember that.

1989
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 10: That's an awesome story.

1990
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 11: Yeah maybe, I mean, you know, besides, I mean I

1991
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 11: wish it could have been something like a glory, like

1992
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 11: just me first touch going to the crib or something

1993
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 11: going getting a touchdown.

1994
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, it's me getting obliterated on a tackle.

1995
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 10: Right, but at least you said I didn't drop the ball.

1996
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know that's something that you would tell you

1997
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 11: a five year old kid, though.

1998
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 10: Exactly exactly. And you're a funny guy. So in the

1999
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 10: locker room, who do you think is the funniest person?

2000
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:26,000

Speaker 2: and x for stopping by the show.

2023
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:29,679
Speaker 1: We could always use some young blood to spice things up,

2024
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: you know that. All right, it's go around the NFL.

2025
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: We got football tomorrow. How about that Thursday night football?

2026
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 1: And it's a big one down in Miami. Then, the

2027
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: last time these two teams, the Buffalo Bills and Miami

2028
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins met, it was on a Sunday night and it

2029
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 1: was for the AFC East title. Deontay Hardy took one

2030
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: to the crib and now one and it gave the

2031
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 1: Bills a win over the Dolphins. The Bills then were

2032
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: able to play at home, and I think that gave

2033
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 1: the Bills the two seed. So the Bills played at

2034
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,440
Speaker 1: home in opening round beat Steelers, and that the Chiefs

2035
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 1: up at Orchard Park but couldn't do anything with them.

2036
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: So well that turned to nothing, a big nothing burger there.

2037
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 1: But it didn't matter in that game the Bills and Dolphins.

2038
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 1: The Bills got that win. Now, Josh Allen has been

2039
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,640
Speaker 1: all kinds of fantastic against the Miami Dolphins.

2040
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:20,720
Speaker 2: He'll get another crack at them. Both teams won.

2041
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 1: The Bills came from behind against the Cardinals last week.

2042
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 1: The Dolphins also came from behind. Both of them were

2043
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 1: down at least fourteen points. Got the wins and now

2044
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 1: one and zero meeting one in Oh Josh Allen to

2045
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 1: a tun by Lowa. That game will be on Amazon

2046
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. It's always interesting. I mean, you kind of

2047
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 1: recover from the weekend trip. You look up and it's Wednesday, like, oh, dang,

2048
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 1: NFL football tomorrow. Yes, NFL football tomorrow. So that's gonna

2049
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: be a whole lot of fun in that game, though

2050
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins running backs will be stretched a little bit.

2051
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,479
Speaker 1: Ro Hee Mostered is out of the game. He's dealing

2052
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:02,800
Speaker 1: with a check injury. He will not even suit up.

2053
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,719
Speaker 1: Devon a chan from out of Marshall High School Texts

2054
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:09,240
Speaker 1: A and M will be a game time decision due

2055
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: to an ankle issue.

2056
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:12,799
Speaker 2: Those two especially.

2057
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:16,680
Speaker 1: Achan was really really good in the game against Jacksonville.

2058
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:20,600
Speaker 1: So he didn't have a ton of rush carries, but

2059
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: it was catching the ball out of the backfield he

2060
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: had seven catches for seventy six yards. So we'll see

2061
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 1: if a Chan is ready to go for that game

2062
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:33,800
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills. Boy, that would hurt if you

2063
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: didn't have him for shirt Sean Watson, who's got things

2064
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,759
Speaker 1: going on off the field which you all know about,

2065
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:47,799
Speaker 1: will start Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That was announced

2066
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 1: by Kevin Stefanski. He said they would respect to due

2067
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:54,879
Speaker 1: process the legal system of forwards, but that Deshaun Watson

2068
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: would start against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, Mark said earlier

2069
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,559
Speaker 1: they wants the Browns and when I think said twelve

2070
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 1: to ten something like that, and that's probably about right. Yeah,

2071
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: the perfect Texans weekend. What does that need to be.

2072
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 1: We'll probably do that on Friday, obviously Texans being the Bears.

2073
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,320
Speaker 1: But you got the Jets taking on the Titans. You

2074
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: got that going on. Trying to think of the other games.

2075
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 1: That's the Jaguars, I can't remember. The Jaguars have got

2076
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 1: the Colts have got the Green Bay Packers. So we

2077
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: are all big Malik Willis fans on Sunday, which has

2078
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 1: not always worked well in the AFC South, especially when

2079
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 1: he was with the Titans.

2080
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know how that is going to go.

2081
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:43,479
Speaker 1: But you've got that happening on Thursday with the Bills

2082
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,599
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins. You've got the Jags taking on the Browns,

2083
01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: You've got the Jets taken on the Titans, and then

2084
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 1: you've got the Colts taking a trip to Lambo to

2085
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 1: take on the Green Bay Packers, so that we all

2086
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 1: will be watching all those on Sunday before we get

2087
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:04,640
Speaker 1: to our game on Sunday night, so we'll know what

2088
01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 1: THEFC South looks like at that particular moment.

2089
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 2: I mean, last week could not have gone any better.

2090
01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:12,880
Speaker 1: The Titans got the fourteen to nothing lead, Bears came

2091
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 1: back and won. The Jags had a fourteen nothing lead.

2092
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 1: How about the fact the Jacks had seventeen to seven lead.

2093
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 1: Travis etn Stud, running back for the Jags, is going

2094
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,720
Speaker 1: into the end zone to give them a twenty four

2095
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,640
Speaker 1: to seven lead in the second half. He coughs up

2096
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: the pigskin goes out of the end zone. The Dolphins

2097
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 1: a few plays later hit Tyreek for eighty yard touchdown

2098
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 1: and that game change on a dime on a dime,

2099
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 1: and that cost the Jaguars a win. Jaguars owing one,

2100
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: Titans owned one. Well, you know what happened to the

2101
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colt So your Texans came out of there one,

2102
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: and oh everybody else own one. Man, what if everybody's

2103
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 1: owing two and the Texans win on Sunday night. Oh,

2104
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really really fun. But we'll know, we'll

2105
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 1: know what's going on by the time we get to

2106
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,679
Speaker 1: Sunday night against to Chicago Bears, because all those games

2107
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:04,559
Speaker 1: are taking place during the afternoon. I heard ND say

2108
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: this the other night that Andy Reid didn't like for

2109
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,639
Speaker 1: his players on a night game to watch a bunch

2110
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:11,680
Speaker 1: of games during your day, get all kind of gassed up,

2111
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 1: watch them get all excited. Want him to just chill,

2112
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 1: just relax, and then let it all go on Sunday

2113
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 1: night during the game. That's kind of hard, man. I

2114
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:20,759
Speaker 1: know I won't be I'll be sitting in the studio

2115
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 1: probably four or five hours before the game, just watching

2116
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 1: Red Zone, just soaking it all in. I love night

2117
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: games because I get Red Zone all day. I love

2118
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 1: Bye weeks because I get Red Zone all day and

2119
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 1: on into the night. I guess at that point, so

2120
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: really excited for this one Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

2121
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 1: Mentioned it earlier in the injury report. Dalton Schultz missed

2122
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:41,560
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. He was a DMP M J.

2123
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:43,679
Speaker 1: Stewart with a knee. Still dealing with that knee.

2124
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 2: But on the.

2125
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 1: Bears side, that's a big one. Roma Duneesa with a knee,

2126
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 1: and then Key Allen deal with a heel. So we'll

2127
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 1: see if they're gonna be able to play. But third

2128
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: down two of those three receivers, oh my, that makes

2129
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 1: things very difficult for Kay the Williams of the Bears

2130
01:34:56,439 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. But we'll discuss that more tomorrow and then,

2131
