1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access. On a Tuesday, Mark Vanuary

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: dpcity along Withdrew Doherty joining you once again, and it's

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: week A week is at fifteen Kansas City Week. I mean,

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm just losing track, YEV because it's like fifteen, sixteen seventeen, Yeah,

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: fifteen good right. And then Jerry Jones, the other I

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: think it was like last week, said he really wants

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: to move to an eighteen game schedule, and I thought

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: that seems like an eternity. Now. I love more football, definitely,

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: but that's a lot on these players. Well one less

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: preseason game, so it's technically this season growing an extra

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: buy week. Oh I think you need an extra buy

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: well now all right, so let's go to February because February.

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: As I've said, February is the worst month in the

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: sports calendar. Is if you can drag the NFL further

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: into it, you wipe out how bad February is. The

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: super Bowl has got to be on like a long

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: weekend that has to happen. Well, they're already missing. They're

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: missing that President's Day, President's Day weekend. It has to

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: be that. But this would do it right. No, unless

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: you start a week. If you need two buys, you're

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to go two weeks into it. So you're

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: really playing the super Bowl in March almost And that's fine.

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: Why not just have two buys and have the super

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: Bowl on NMLK weekend. See, that's the thing, presidents. They

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: used to do the double buys, right. They did it

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: one or two years a long time ago, I think

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: in the nineties, and it enabled the national games or

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: the national network packages to have those extra games, right

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: because you had double buys, so you didn't need the

30
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: seventeen game schedule theoretically, but they want seventeen games for

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: the home dates. And we all know that the home

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: markets get great TV ratings with their teams playing in them.

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: So that's a big part of it. Eighteen games, double buys.

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Can you play on Labor Day or No? They don't.

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: They don't like playing because they feel like the ratings

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: are bad. But guess what, people will watch. I don't

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: care if you if you're traveling, we're vacationing, and wherever

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: you are, you're still gonna watch NFL football. You're gonna

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: watch your team play, and you'll still feel the building

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: because plenty of people will be in town to do it,

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: but they don't like doing that for some reason. Wait,

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: so we just argued about what week? What week is it?

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: It's week fifteen, and now we're all archering for Nega

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: because that's how this show operates on a Tuesday night.

45
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: It's a stream of consciousness, radio engine time. And it's

46
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: perfect because at some point tonight we're going to talk

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: about Mike Leach, of course, the all time king of tangents.

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Oh is he really? I guess he would be? Would he? Absolutely?

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: One thousand persons listen, It's it's Tuesday, it's week fifteen.

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: We decided, I think we have to start with Mike Leach,

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: who passed away today and it was terrible to hear.

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: The whole football world is and beyond that obviously, and

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: his family is the most important one in all this,

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: but the most important entity. But it's such a serious

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: passing and it's just it's felt by so many because

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: you feel like you know the guy. But we have

57
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: somebody here and knows the guy. Because Drew Doherty hosted

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: the Mike Leach Show once upon a time in Lubbock. Consistently,

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: you were on that Texas Tech beat. Yeah, it was,

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: and it was a fun time to be there too.

61
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: It was two thousand and five through two thousand and

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: eight seasons. I was I left in OH nine before

63
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: the OH nine season started, but you know that OH

64
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: eight season, they were undefeated till just up until Thanksgiving

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: and they'd beat number one Texas and it's you know,

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: it was one of the greatest weekends for that football

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: program when they did that. But it was it was

68
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: really surreal looking back. I mean, he'd be with him

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: on a Monday press conference, he'd go to a few

70
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: practices during the week, and then because of that show,

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: I go on Wednesdays and we'd ask him these present

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: in fan questions via email and he'd come over after

73
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: practice and we'd hand him this list of about ten

74
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: questions and he'd he'd take a pen pen out of

75
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: his like coonskin cap of hair, because he always by

76
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: that point in the season his hair was just growing.

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: It was almost like an afro. And he'd say, it's

78
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: a good question, that's a dumb I answer, that's stupid.

79
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Now I'm not gonna do okay, I'll do this one,

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: all right, let's go, and he'd whittle it down to

81
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: three questions and he just asked and then you'd see

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: him at the game, and then after the game he

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: had whether you whether they want or lost. You had

84
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: to get ten minutes of content from him, which sometimes

85
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: was easy you only have to ask two questions. Sometimes

86
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: he was in a bad mood like he'd you know,

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: like coaches can get in after a game, you know,

88
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: so you had to do some poland. But there was

89
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: less poland than there was given. And it's just sad.

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm sad for his wife Sharon and there they've got

91
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: four kids and I think they've got a grandkid or two.

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: But what a life he led. He led a it

93
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: was a life well lived for Mike Leach. If you

94
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: think about him, he maxed things out, didn't play past

95
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: high school, went to BYU, studied at the Fietal Lavelle Edwards,

96
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: and then got his law degree at Pepperdine, and he

97
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: coached in places like Finland, Valdasa State, Iowa, wesley and

98
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: he bounced all over the place. He was just fueled

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: by an inquisitiveness that I think that's what made people

100
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: respect him the most. He would he would drive to

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Green Bay from Iowa Wesleyan and just kind of show

102
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: up and say, hey, Mike Holmgren, can I pick your

103
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: brain about some stuff and watch'all's practice? And enough people

104
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: let him do that, and you got to be better

105
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: and better and better as a coach and more innovative

106
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: as the years went by. He did you know he

107
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: was so irreverent when you started that job? Like, was

108
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: it already out there that Mike Leech's personality? Because I

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: think now the folklore there's so much of it with Twitter,

110
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: you are all these great stories. But did you know

111
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: that's what he was like when you started? Yeah, I

112
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: mean you knew he was different. I got there kind of.

113
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: He was already five years in at Texas Tech because

114
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: two thousand was his first year, so they were they

115
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: were starting to roll at that point. But you definitely

116
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: knew about him. Now he's You gotta remember two thousand

117
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: and five, not every college game was on television. I'd

118
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: say most college games were on TV. But shoot, I

119
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: go to two thousand and eight even and there were

120
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: some Tech games that you had to watch it on

121
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: a sat Like when they played Nevada in Reno in

122
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: earlier the season, he had to watch that on a

123
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: web stream. Now every single game is on TV in

124
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: some former fashion. So because of that, and because he's

125
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: been in places like Washington State, been in places like

126
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, you get these reporters that they're doing the

127
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: same thing we were doing back and lock we're just, hey,

128
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: what did you think of about the trip to El Paso?

129
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Or you guys gonna maybe take a trip to Mexico

130
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: while before you play UTEP and then you know you've

131
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: got three minutes of gold coming at you from Mike Leach.

132
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just stuff like that. And yeah, I

133
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: mean it's it's that's what makes it fun. Because he

134
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: was He's a mark, he was a Martian. He was

135
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: not a normal, you know, normal coach. John was talking

136
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: about on in the Lab. He's saying, you know there's

137
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: a there could be a factory of cookie cutters for coaches,

138
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: and you know there are different coaches and shape differently.

139
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, if there's a factory of cookie cutters,

140
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: Leech parachuted in from the Kiwi farm, you know, it's

141
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: like he's totally different. Yeah. So he said, we have

142
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: a clip of you interviewing the show. This is off

143
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: the This is one of those emails, and sometimes the

144
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: emails were a little light, and so we kind of

145
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: helped things out, and we helped him out with this

146
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: one will love it. Since he says, I'm a freshman

147
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: at Texas tacking him now to love. I've got a

148
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: first date with a girl, and I was wondering if

149
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: you might have some recommendations. Well, you want someplace casual

150
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: to begin with, because you don't want something real formal

151
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: in the beginning, So someplace casual. I recommend Cagle Steakhouse,

152
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: which is very casual. The other thing that's great about

153
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: it is is that there's very little salad there at Kegle,

154
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: So then the girl will be forced to eat in

155
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: front of you, which is something that women hate. But

156
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: if you can make them do it, the earlier the better,

157
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: the more that they'll you know, conversate and let their

158
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, let their show their true self. And then

159
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm a big movie guy. If you want to do

160
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: it more like I did when I was your age,

161
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: you can go to the Stars and Stripes drive in

162
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: theater because that's what they had in Cody, Wyoming. But otherwise,

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, the movie theater is pretty good. But then

164
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: you want to end it somewhere like, uh, some cool

165
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: coffee shop type of place where there's bizarre looking characters

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: going in and out, so that the conversation isn't going well.

167
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: You can, you know, you can reference some of the

168
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: different characters you see coming and going from the place,

169
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: and then if it differ, it's a huge time. You're

170
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: really having a good time. Then uh uh, you know,

171
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: you can trade computer schemes and u and emails and

172
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: all that mischiefs that people are up to on that nowadays,

173
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: which I know nothing about. Great dating advice and life

174
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: advice and women eating salads on dates. I feel like

175
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: he's sort of hit all the high points. Yeah, he

176
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: just that's and that was Leach. He would he would

177
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: have he would have his spin on things, and you

178
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: didn't have to you didn't have to give it to him.

179
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: You just kind of said, this is what it's going

180
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: to be about, and then he would run with it.

181
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: And he had a lot of fun and we had

182
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: a lot of fun with him. That was me and

183
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: my good friend Kirk Heard who pretty much every Leech

184
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: member I have involves this guy too, because we were there,

185
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: and I mean I was I was with dep yesterday

186
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: when we were caught talking with Lovey Smith and love

187
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: Smith went to a coaches clinic with Leech in ninety

188
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: nine in Las Vegas. Love he was doing the defense.

189
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Leech was the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma. He was handling

190
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: the offense, and they he said, they had a fun time.

191
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: They get there, though, and the guy who was organizing

192
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: it said, this was advertised for next week. You only

193
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have too many people there, so love

194
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: he said that the six coaches who showed up, they

195
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: got the greatest quarterback clinic of all time from Leech.

196
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: And I'm sure I Love he's being modest. I bet

197
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: they got the greatest defensive clinic of all time from

198
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: love You at that point, I mean, and he smiled

199
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: about it. And I saw him on the way end

200
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: this morning. He was he was sad to see about

201
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: the news too, but uh yeah, he just you. If

202
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: you saw Leech, you recognized instantly after listening to him

203
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: talk for about the twenty seconds. This guy's a little different.

204
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: I was secretly hoping that Tax Act Texas Bowl that

205
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: he might be here because I feel like I've got

206
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: to meet him. I just feel like I've read so

207
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: much about him. The Athletic did a great story back

208
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. I think he was still with Washington State.

209
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: Just the inside inside his meetings, like different players talking

210
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: about what Mike Leech would talk about in the meeting rooms,

211
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: and you know, like he would be up at the

212
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: in the front of the meeting room talking about something

213
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: and then it would be the meeting would be close

214
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: to being finished and someone would ask a question and

215
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: all the players would have grown because then Mike Leach

216
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: would just go on this like a forty minute rant

217
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: about pirates or something. It was just insane to me

218
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: that that's just he's not trying to be entertaining, like

219
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: when you see a sideline reporter asking him like hey

220
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: should I what do you think about plans for marriage?

221
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: He's not trying to be funny or entertaining, like he

222
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: just naturally is entertaining. Yeah, and I got to go

223
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: back to inquisitiveness. He would have loved to have met

224
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: both of you. Oh yeah, you're an engineer by true,

225
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: what do you think about what's going on with bridges?

226
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: And while they've got those arches on, Like he would

227
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: have gotten to it with you. Yeah you're from message,

228
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah you didn't Boston Universe of the bar there at

229
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: this place is you know he loved he loved Houston.

230
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: I remember Recon I was a Lubbock asking him about

231
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: what he thought of recruiting the Houston area, and I

232
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: thought he'd get an annancement. Oh, they've got the great

233
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: athletes started. Yeah, best food in the city, best restaurants,

234
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: and they've got restaurants that are open twenty four hours

235
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: a day and they're high quality restaurant. Like he would

236
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: he loved Houston. He left coming here, so he would

237
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: have probably enjoyed coming back home for the not home,

238
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: but back to Houston for that that bull game. Well,

239
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: by the way, love it. Lovey Smith really liked Drew's

240
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: Mike Leach impression, and I was like, well, when I

241
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: hear Mike Leach talk, I don't hear Mike Leach speaking.

242
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: I hear Drew Dory's impression of Mike always. Always. I

243
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: was around the guy so much. I mean I just

244
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: picked up and he has like very distinct so speech

245
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: patterns and crutches that he leaned on left such an

246
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: impression on the game, such an influence, and Texas Tech

247
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: is going to be here and one meant to Texas

248
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Tech my goodness. So I would imagine during the Tax

249
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: Act Texas Bowl or right before it, something will be

250
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: done in memory of Mike Leach for sure. Yeah. I

251
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: mean they tweeted out that picture today, him with the

252
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: cowboy hat, and it's a it's a perfect Mike Leach

253
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: photo because kind of like three and four year olds there.

254
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's a time when three and four year

255
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: olds can't figure out how to smile or like it's

256
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: like a forced thing. And Leach has one of those

257
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: three and four year old smiles on his face and

258
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: it's just with a cowboy hat on top, and it's

259
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: just perfect. It's it's the most mic Leach of Mike

260
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Leach photos. Not awkward at all. No, no, no, it

261
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: worked out well. I wonder what Mike Leach would have

262
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: thought of the Texans and their two quarterback offense because

263
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: it could be an air rate in its own right.

264
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: But yet it's still I don't really know what to

265
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: make of it yet. Mark. It's it's all terrain, that's

266
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: what it is. With driscoll kat running that ball and

267
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: occasionally throwing it, and what a throw that was to

268
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: Amar Roger in such a disappointment to lose that game

269
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: after a thrilling day, But I want to see more

270
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: of it, you know, I want to see if they

271
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: could do something else wild. We have Titus Howard of

272
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: course on the Players Show, which you just heard, and

273
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: Titus talking about Uh, I was encouraging him to play quarterback.

274
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: You know that his arm is tremendous. Sometimes in camp

275
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: or before practice, we'd see him like, just launch one

276
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, where did that come from? Oh, Titus? Yeah, yeah,

277
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: Titus is a quarterback, former quarterback, And you know I

278
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: asked him if he could throw on air and do

279
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: a little pre practice warm up, how he would do

280
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: He said, Oh, I'm accurate, I'm accurate. I can do

281
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: he really is. I mean, he's just so large. I

282
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: don't know how you would ever like Jared Lorenzen back there,

283
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, let him sling the rock excep. He's a

284
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: little bit more, he's a little bit more muscular. Lorenzen was, Yeah, oh,

285
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: Lorenzo was an actual quarterback, an actual NFL or trying

286
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: to be quarterback. But between him and Mills, I mean,

287
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: I do like how Driskell after the game said that

288
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: it couldn't have been could not have been easy for

289
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: Davis Mills to come into the situation where, yeah, you're

290
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: your back as a starter, And it was such a

291
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: first of all, what a surprise because I heard you

292
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: Mark on the pregame show with Sean and Seth talking

293
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: about the Driscoll cat because he was elevated. Yeah, he

294
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: was going to be active. We did not, I think,

295
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: did we know at that moment that Kyle Allen. We

296
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: might have known that Kyle Allen was an active but

297
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: at that point, nobody knew. Nobody knew that Jeff Driscoll

298
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: was going to play that sort of a role in

299
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: the office. I figured he would come in and do

300
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: what he did in the first couple of games he

301
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: played this year, you know, occasional handoff, maybe throw the ball,

302
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: maybe an extra wrinkle. But I had no idea half

303
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: the reps. Half the reps. Now, I know it was

304
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: situational because Mills starts, but they get the ball right

305
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: back on the fumbled pump, so they're they're on a

306
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: short field driftcoll cat time and they score. Was awesome,

307
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: and it was interesting in the press box. Media relations

308
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of had to let some folks know, Hey, he's

309
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: not taking over four Mills for good, you know, And

310
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: people didn't know that at that point because they saw

311
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: a three and out and they saw him come in,

312
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: so they thought, well, is this a wholesale switch, And

313
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: they said no, this has been something that the Texans

314
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: have worked on all weeks. Oh, they did tell they

315
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: couldn't say too much because you don't want to give

316
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: way competitive advantage. They were telling to media member media, Yeah,

317
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: because some were not some were saying he's been benched,

318
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: or some were saying he's taken out, you know, making

319
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: declarative definitives. And they were just like, hey, actually just

320
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: just so so you know, duta data da. Why didn't

321
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: they just wait like a series or a play. It's

322
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: a natural reaction. I mean, you've you've replaced him once

323
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: and he's media. Yeah, they're gonna tweet as soon as

324
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: it happens, like, oh my gosh, drist calls any game

325
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: Mills is badged. Yeah, well, you know, on the on

326
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: thet it's not. It's not like that's like too crazy though. Yeah,

327
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: I could give it a minute before I'd look to

328
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: see if the other quarterback has hurt or Olympics. We've

329
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: we've we if you've been around here for about ten years,

330
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: we've seen some benchings and some pullings. It's been but

331
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: quick hooks. I gotta say this. I saw Driscill come

332
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: out right after the fumbled punt, and I knew that

333
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: Mills wasn't benched. I knew we were going to see

334
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: Mills again. I just knew it. I just knew we

335
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: were going to see Mills again. It was just this

336
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: is a Driscoll situation. What surprised me was Driscoll stays

337
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: in for play number two. Okay, play number three, okay, Okay.

338
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: He's in there the whole time. Then all of a sudden,

339
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: it's clear he's going to play a bunch today. Even

340
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: after the touchdown, I thought, oh Mills, Mills will come

341
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: back in. But you didn't know how much Driscoll would

342
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: really play. And he played a ton in the game,

343
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: and he could throw the ball. It's clear now. Nick

344
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Cassio was talking about all the work he's done on

345
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: his mechanics in the offseason, trying to improve at the

346
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: quarterback position. We saw some of the moments in the preseason, right,

347
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: ye had a couple of moments there. Yeah, Driscoll by

348
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, Driscoll, who was a tight end Nick

349
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: on the show tomorrow he'll be talking about that, you know,

350
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: because I brought that up, former tight end, just like

351
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Titus is a former quarterback. Well, Driscoll is actually a

352
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: former tight end for fifteen minutes last year and obviously

353
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: that didn't stick. But here he is playing quarterback and

354
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes from here. I think during

355
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: the TV broadcast halftime show was Jimmy Johnson was talking

356
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks and he also, and this is about halftime,

357
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: had erroneously assumed that one of the quarterbacks I want

358
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: to say, he thought Davis Mills was hurt, and that's

359
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: why Driscoll was in. I thought, but we've seen a

360
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: whole half of football. It's like he just looked at

361
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: the box score and saw the touchdown being thrown and

362
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: decided that Mills was That's an interesting one. I'm sure unhealthy.

363
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: I forget. I liked personally. I liked Jerry Jones's post

364
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: game somebody asked him about the quarterbacks and he said

365
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: they both looked like Brett Farve out there today. So

366
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty high parread thank you. Which

367
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: one which one early in the career or later in

368
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: the career, or Brett Farve now Vikings in the Cheenes commercials,

369
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: Brett that Brett Farve uh after the fourth down stop

370
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: on the you know, fourth and goal, Texans trying to

371
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: punch it in. It got so loud in there. I

372
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: was almost flattered, like, oh, you really appreciate was annoyed

373
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: go ahead this much? Because well, they knew that that

374
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: was that was ballgame preserved for that. I'm not necessarily one,

375
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: but they avoided the laws because if the Texans go

376
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: up two scores at that point, I'm pretty sure it's

377
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: going to be a victory, although there's still a chance

378
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys because they had all three time outs

379
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: at that point. But there was such a roar after that,

380
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: and when Zeke scored another huge role. I haven't heard

381
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: a stadium that loud since the Chiefs playoff game twenty nineteen. Honestly,

382
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: almost ninety three thousand people there. So that's that's a

383
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: big reason for I don't know about you, but did

384
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: you kind of giggle a little bit internally when and

385
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: our fans have done this from time to time and

386
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: other other stadiums they've done it. Too, but not as consistently.

387
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: In this game, Cowboys are on offense in a pretty

388
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: critical situation and it gets loud as hell in there.

389
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: And it's not Texans fans filling the place up like

390
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: it was in fourteen. I mean the casual where the

391
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: sidelines and the players on the field are doing alarms,

392
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: waving them down, and then I look over on our

393
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: sideline and our guys are trying, but it's people to

394
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: the point where the public address announcer had to say

395
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: quiet down, Cowboys Nation or whatever, you'd be quiet offenses

396
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: at work. I was just and that didn't just happen

397
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: once or twice. It happened at least three, four five

398
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: times at very very critical junctures in the game. I

399
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 1: would say, act like you've been there. But a lot

400
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: of the fans weren't there the last time they won

401
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, the last time they were so awesome for

402
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: so long. I mean, in preparing for this game, it

403
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: surprised me a little bit. I can't remember all the

404
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: all the stats here, but when you look at Super

405
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances, when you look at Super Bowl victories, well

406
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: they're tied for second, they're right behind New England. Yeah,

407
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: I mean, five Super Bowl wins is a lot. I know,

408
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since they did that, but

409
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: they won two with Landry, three with Jimmy Johnson and

410
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: Barry Switzer. And there you are. I mean, you're right

411
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: there at five the first Bowl appearances. It's been a while.

412
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: Their winning percentage is number one all time of any

413
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: NFL franchise regular season winning percentage. That's pretty impressive stuff.

414
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of good winning seasons in this

415
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: era since the Texans have come around, but the Texans

416
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: have more playoff victories than the Dallas Cowboys since the

417
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: Texans have come around, So how about that. I feel

418
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: like this year, though, they really feel like they've got

419
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: something special with this team. So I was I was

420
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: actually annoyed at hearing a lot. It was because I

421
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: felt like, leading up to this game, they were more

422
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: worried about the rest of their games in December winning

423
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: the NFC. You should worry about Jacksonville now because Jacksonville's

424
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: getting hot. Jacksonville was hot against Tennessee. So I felt

425
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: like they were so worried about that. And then in

426
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: the end of the you know this, in the game,

427
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: in a game where they should have clearly dominated, and

428
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: they were favored by two scores. The Texans were hung

429
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: around more on around until the very end, and then

430
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: they are erupting in cheers, and I thought you should

431
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: be alarmed. This was like one of those movies where you're,

432
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, the guy's got somebody right over the cliff

433
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to push them over or whatever,

434
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: and then somehow whoever is underneath gets out of it,

435
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: gets out of the jam. You know, they pull it

436
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: out of the fire. That's what the Cowboys did. Give

437
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: them respect for that, and it was not the same

438
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: kind of thing, but it reminded me a little bit

439
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: of the game in twenty fourteen, where you had so

440
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: many chances, but ultimately they made a couple of plays

441
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: that were the difference. And that's what happened in this one. Yeah,

442
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: leading up to this game last week, I mean every

443
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: week I do that Enemy Intel where I just gather

444
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: quotes from the other side talking about the Texans, and

445
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: normally you get seven, eight, sometimes nine, ten, eleven. There

446
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: was one and it was Mike McCarthy and he was

447
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: asked about Jalen Petrie and Derek Stingley. He was asked

448
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: about two defensive backs, and he gave an answer about

449
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: a guy who runs the football with violence and is

450
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: really impressive, can break tackles. He was taught. He gave

451
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: an answer about Damian Pearce. That was the only answer

452
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: he gave. I mean, they were not they were not impressed,

453
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: and hey, you've won one game at that point, it's understandable.

454
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, and the media if that was covering him,

455
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: certainly this was an afterthought game for the text. He

456
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: would have blasted them if they lost that. Yeah, and

457
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: they were It's clear they're they're worried about out not

458
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: next week. In two weeks. The media talking about this,

459
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: it was it was really fascinating to see this run up. Well,

460
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: even after the game the next day on Monday morning

461
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: on I mean Michael Irvin's up there. I was walking

462
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: into the office and all the TV's were on whatever

463
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: ESPN or whatever NFL network, and he was talking about

464
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: do the Cowboys did the Cowboys deserve to win? So

465
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: even in their win, they're getting you know, there's a

466
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: lot of criticism for how the game went down and

467
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: the Texans they do they do deserve they did, they

468
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: did deserve that, they deserved to win and when the

469
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: Texans were Mark and I were discussing this morning, when

470
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: the Texans were in their most winning as seasons, you know,

471
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: it was the same criticism, criticism like if you beat

472
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: a team that's not as good but it's a smaller margin,

473
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: there's there's criticism there as well. Find game winning streak.

474
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: We had that almost every week. I feel like Drean Lopez.

475
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Just yesterday they were they were getting back and messing

476
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: with you again about how they called that two thousand

477
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: and eighteen team mediocre even though they want eleven games,

478
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: they called a mediocre, which, come on, guys, we need

479
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: to They were messing with did they mentioned me by

480
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: man they brought Yeah, they brought up like one of

481
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: your clips, Like I can't believe it was, you know,

482
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: like you're They were going, how do you call the

483
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Oh so I'm gonna have the argument again

484
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: with them. Twenty eighteen team was mediocre? They want They

485
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: were saying, mediocre is five hundred. That's mediocre. That's basically

486
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: the definition definition of media. If eleven and five is mediocre,

487
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: sign me up for mediocre. Get made a mediocre land

488
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: eleven and five? Please God and I was leaving. I

489
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: disagreed with that. I still see criticism on Twitter from

490
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: idiots who say the Tucsons are mediocre. I'm like, no,

491
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: we're not. We'd love to be mediocre right now, are

492
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: you crazy? No? Mediocre land over here? Wait, so they

493
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: were saying even now that that team was mediocre, or

494
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: they were talking about how they had said back in Twitter.

495
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: They were saying, basically, because Lopez knows literally the meaning

496
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: of it, he should know better. Yeah, he likes to

497
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: push your buttons. Yeah you know, and he just did

498
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: from a farm he was attaining radio. It was I

499
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: also were spectfully disagree. I think, yeah, media, if you

500
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: want to call it something different, that's fine. But it

501
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: wasn't mediocre fantastic. I mean, eleven wins is now. Look,

502
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: they flamed out in the playoffs. That was terrible. Terrible

503
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: great regular season, terrible playoff appearance, not mediocre bad bad playoffs.

504
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: So maybe the really good average with the bad Maybe

505
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: you can't it's a worse than mediocre finish because you

506
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: lost to the Colts in your building and couldn't do

507
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: anything that day. That was a terrible finish, But it

508
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: was a really good regular season eleven and five division champion.

509
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: It was that's like a forgotten That was a fun

510
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: season to cover. Well, I don't I think to focus

511
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: on the highlight the right. I mean, that was a

512
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: fun fun Beating the Jets late in the season was cool.

513
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: Darnald as a rookie playing well and getting a late

514
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: touchdown to beat them. Look, not every win was pretty.

515
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that at all. That's what they're looking at.

516
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: They're looking at, well, the quality of victory. Please just

517
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: win the games. Okay, win they get now if they

518
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: had hang on to beat Philadelphia, they get a buy

519
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: and then maybe you're talking about a different story. But

520
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: who knows. Because you were terrible at home anyway against

521
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: the Colts, who you should have been able to handle better.

522
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: But they lost to the Colts badly here in the

523
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: regular season and in the postseason. That hurt. But you

524
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: know you're failing at a higher level. And never mind,

525
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the whole mediocre to

526
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: that twenty eighteen season also had the Cowboys win on

527
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football here in overtime the bus the bus

528
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: ride jet ye the week before against Indianapolis. That was

529
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: an overtime win also, which was a big reason why

530
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: the offense struggled a lot early on. They were trying

531
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: to find their legs and Watson's coming back from the injury.

532
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: Then he gets the punctured lung and that doesn't heal

533
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: in a week. Oh, since you played a game, it's

534
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: magically all set. Just like who had the ribs situation? Oh,

535
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: justin Herbert had the ribs situation this year. It took

536
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: him a few weeks to get going, because guess what,

537
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: it takes a few weeks to heal. I think unlocked

538
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: a new level of Mark Vandermere and I'm like, I'm

539
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: here for it. You're just put in the key you singing.

540
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh yes. So so that this actually started on the

541
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: pregame show with Sean and Seth. They were talking about

542
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Driscoll being active and they call it the Drizzy Cat.

543
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: You call it the Driscoll Cat. And you had said

544
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: that you wanted permission from them to sing a Driscoll

545
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: Cat song to the tune of Smelly Cat, if that's

546
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: what we saw on Sunday. However, they wanted you to

547
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: sing Drizzy Cat, and somehow I got roped into singing

548
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: this song, which is not what I offered to write

549
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: the lyrics or help write the lyrics, and then you

550
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: made me sing it. But you know, let's take a

551
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: break when we come back. I'm like really dreading this

552
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: because I've been told to never ever ever sing in public.

553
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: So Driscoll Cat coming up. Plus we'll take a look

554
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: at the Kansas City Chiefs, and we'll go run the

555
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: NFL t all coming up on Texans All Access. Don't

556
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Welcome back, Texans All Access continues. All right,

557
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: for the break. We teased it a song. We don't

558
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: really break down to song much, especially when you've only

559
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: got one one of you about out why you're about

560
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: to find out why. This maybe the first and the last,

561
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: uh Driscoll Cat to the tune of Smelly Cat. Let

562
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: me let me just explain this For people that don't

563
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: watch Friends, Drew is actually one of our friends. We

564
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: have to do. We have to explain to Drew. Once

565
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: upon a time there was a show called Friends which

566
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: we used to watch. It wasn't out of choice, it

567
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: just never really saw it, didn't v to watch it.

568
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's seen I think all of them. Yeah,

569
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: but probably, but we didn't date in the nineties. It's on.

570
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: It's on every half hour. I think Nickelodeon or a

571
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: couple of networks run nothing but Friends all night long

572
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: because fundance of free time away from work. I think

573
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: off to take some up with her. We'll watch watch.

574
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: You only have five kids. You can just fall into

575
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: a friend. You probably have seen every episode of Paw Patrol,

576
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: but not Friends. Yea, all right, So Phoebe who is

577
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: on Friends. One of the friends, Lisa Coudre. She had

578
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: a guitar. She used to sing the song called Smelly Cat,

579
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: which was bad but good, and so Mark had this

580
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: vision to recreate smelly Cat to the Juno vision driscll cat,

581
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: and oh here it is, driscll cat, driskle cat. We

582
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: need you to run the ball, driscll cat, drisk goll cat.

583
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: You can pass it to. Our offense needs some revision.

584
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: We're not gonna win the division. Damian Pierce has an

585
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. We just want to win a game. Driscll cat,

586
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: driskle cat. We need you to run the ball, driscll cat,

587
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: drisk goll cat. You can pass it too. Okay. I

588
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: just want to apologize again to every but that's not good.

589
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: And a female. Phoebe's a female. That's literally the only

590
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: reason why I was seeing that song. But I do

591
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: think i've heard Mark huming this around. Smell. Yeah, you

592
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: could have done it operetic style. You should very throw

593
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm not gonna do it so funny, but

594
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I grew up listening to Bob and

595
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: Tom and Indianapolis and Mark Marks heard the story um

596
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: and they used to do songs. Every Wednesday. This guy

597
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: named Duke Tomato would come in with a guitar. The

598
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: Colts had one win, and that's when it started. They

599
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: would sing Lord help work holds. It was the same

600
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 1: sort of bluesy thing that you do, yea, and they

601
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: would recap the game and I was just so entertained

602
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: by it. Would rhyme and you know, just so they

603
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: wrote a new song every Monday after the Wednesday. I

604
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: guess he needed two days to write it, so he'd

605
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: come on Wednesdays and they'd sing it and they would

606
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: recap it. And then at one I think the next

607
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: year they did it. They started winning and then the

608
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: beat picked up a little bit, so it was pretty good.

609
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: I liked it. Oh, that's pretty good. Maybe we should

610
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: do that. Then I've been suggested. So you're saying that

611
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: the Colts were having a one win season. Gosh, that's

612
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: sounds so good. Well, when I lived there, they were bad, bad, bad, bad. Well,

613
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: they went to the AFC Championship game with Jim Harbaugh,

614
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: who's in their Ring of honor. They got close. That

615
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: was against I remember, I remember that. I remember that.

616
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: I was definitely pulling for because you know, you hated

617
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers growing up, because if you're an Oilers fan,

618
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: that's true. I definitely wanted anybody to face or anybody

619
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: to be only there was an instant replay back then

620
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: we could go back and look at a few plays.

621
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: But there wasn't. And I thought on that hail Mary

622
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: pass at the end that the Cults were going to

623
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl alas they were not. Yeah, so, but

624
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: there were some good There was some fun times there.

625
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: They didn't get good until after I left. That's when

626
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: they got Peyton Manning and that changed the hold. That

627
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: change so I just needed to change my world, that's

628
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah. So anyway, that was very well done.

629
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: I think we got to see if if we see

630
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: more drisk goal in Sunday's game because maybe we should

631
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: just you know, I mean, it sounds like it and

632
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: seems like we will based on everything we've heard, based

633
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: on the success we saw. I don't I don't think

634
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: you just scrap it all of a sudden, Hider's cat

635
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna go who I think that if you really

636
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: want to have a competitive advantage in the end, Phil,

637
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: you just got to do something that no one else

638
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: is doing. So what if like a two QB offense

639
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: becomes a thing? Are you? I feel like was saying too,

640
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: I think you said it earlier. Davis was so understanding

641
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: of it, but Andrea was saying, if you're Davis Mills,

642
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: this is tough to take because it's hard to get

643
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: into a rhythm. You know, you want to get as

644
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: many snaps as you can. But look, they're gonna do

645
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: what they they're gonna do. He's had a lot of chances.

646
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: They'll do whatever they think is right to win games.

647
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the wild Trey Traymond Smith. Love

648
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: to see that because we saw it a bit last year.

649
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: Maybe see it again. I'm not saying they're going to

650
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: do it, but who knows what they cook up? Here

651
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: because pull out whatever stops you can in this situation.

652
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: At one eleven and one, it's hard for me to

653
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: say the record. It's just been tough this year. The

654
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: time makes it difficult, and the one makes it difficult,

655
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: and then that number that keeps bloating in the middle

656
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: makes it really difficult. Johnny and I were we want

657
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: things to be symmetrical, so right now it's perfect. It's

658
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: one eleven and one. Yeah, and Johnny and I decided

659
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: that the perfect scenario at this rate would be to

660
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: finish two twelve and two. That would be happy in

661
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: my love of symmetry. We were talking about it on

662
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: the walk in from a practice last week, and I

663
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty decent question. How the hell did

664
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen team only win two games? Right, It's

665
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: amazing when I read that. You see the talent on

666
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: that team versus this team. A lot of injuries that

667
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: year because Od went out, Arian pushing, I mean, we

668
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: can go on and on. Andre Johnson was still having

669
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeahpkins was a rookie that year. We didn't even know

670
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown and overtime against the Titans Week two,

671
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: their last victory that year. Andre had that three touchdown

672
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: first half performance against the Colts before Kubiak went down

673
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: at the half off the arm of case Keenum. I

674
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: heard somebody talking about that the other day, and I

675
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: don't think they had a firm grasp of what Keenum

676
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: was to the team that year. That he had flashes,

677
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: he had moments, but he wasn't quite ready. Because that's

678
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: why Kubiak really wanted to put shob back in, because

679
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: Keenom didn't understand the protections as well. I'd love to

680
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: hear Keenom talk about this. But a year goes by,

681
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: more studying, more learning, and obviously it becomes a solid

682
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: starter in the league. Minnesota Miracle came back here the

683
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: second year and beat the Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

684
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: But even in those games, Bill O'Brien said, we needed wrinkle.

685
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Gonna have Arian throw a touchdown pass like he did

686
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: against the Ravens that year. And when Kubiak had Yates

687
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen coming back, he had Alfred Blue throw

688
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: a pass. So he always added a wrinkle. Did I

689
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: say Kubiak or Bill O'Brien, Bill O'Brien cecils through a touchdown? Yeah,

690
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: Cecil did it. Oh yeah, yes, Cecil threw it to

691
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: Blue my bad. Yeah, there's always similar He had so

692
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: many fun little why Yeah, that's why. I mean when

693
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: when the Dallas when the Dallas game started, the offense

694
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: just looked different. I just remember seeing the offensive linemen

695
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: running really wide and then running back in and I

696
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: thought they're going to be exhausted for doing this every playbit.

697
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: I was intrigued because when you're one eleven and one,

698
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: let's just throw everything out on the table. I loved

699
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: Lovey's decision to go for the touchdowns of the field

700
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: goal at the end there. You know, didn't work out

701
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: there obviously for the Texans, but I think you got

702
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: to take chances in games like this. You might as

703
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: well make it entertaining for the fans. Yeah, and you

704
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: score there and it's over. You absolutely put a nail

705
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: in the coffin, so to speak. So they didn't. That's

706
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: why they lost. That's one of the reasons they lost.

707
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: And it's too bad. But yeah, they shook things up

708
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: clearly on offense. And who knows if this means anything

709
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: long term, but it's been. It made it, It made

710
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: thing's fascinating on Sunday. I am going to be jumping

711
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: all over that injury report tomorrow, no question about it.

712
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: I want to see who's outs in. As far as

713
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: practice goes, we're not going to know about game situation,

714
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: maybe until the game itself, but obviously Friday get the

715
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: who's in who's out of it. I would imagine there

716
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: will be some questionables, a lot of people banged up.

717
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: They put their heart and soul into that thing. But

718
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: now you have an easy one with the Kansas City Chiefs.

719
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: So it's so easy. I mean, they're only leading in

720
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: every single statistical category yards, yards per game, yard per play,

721
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: first rounds per game, third down efficiency, fourth down efficiency.

722
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: Don't worry, they're second in points per game, averaging just

723
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: under thirty points a game, so just under thirdy Tyreek kill.

724
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: So you're telling me there's a chance. So if they

725
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: if you hold them below their average even a little bit,

726
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: you gotta get to thirty. Twenty four is the season

727
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: high for the Houston Texans. They got the twenty three

728
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday. When they got to twenty three, I thought

729
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna break that season high. Didn't happen. When they

730
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: got the pick, it looked like it looked like checkmate

731
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: hitting thirty point where Chris Moore's near touchdown. I mean,

732
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: what a game he has. Oh, I still think he

733
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: was in I do to everyone in the stadium, but

734
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: I was. I was walking onto the field, and actually

735
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: I was walking into like the bar area that you

736
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: got to get to the field to go, and all

737
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: the all the YEA workers were just they were like,

738
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: this game's over. This is awful because they all thought

739
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: he'd scored. Until you gotta walk a little bit and

740
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: it's maybe twenty seconds and I go to open the

741
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: glass door to get onto the field, which tells you

742
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: a lot about Dallas. You have to open a glass

743
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: store to get on a football field. But I open

744
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: it and they're running a plane. I'm like, what the

745
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: hell's going on? Why are they not lining up to

746
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: kick the extra points? Bang? Yeah, Well you didn't get

747
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: a good look at it. People wanted love you to

748
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: throw the flag. I get it. He probably should have, maybe,

749
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: but there was no look that was going to overturn.

750
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: But you take a time out anyway on the next place,

751
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: so at the very worst, you get yourself situated and

752
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: to run another play. So the uh, the images though

753
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: I haven't seen one that's conclusive that would say he

754
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: definitely scored. Issa prudered it. I do think he was in.

755
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: I think when the when his calf touches, because it's

756
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: Calffney and you could say this, I think the balls

757
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: over the line. I think his arm is extended enough.

758
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: It didn't have to go that far. It only has

759
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: to touch, it only has to just barely cross. It

760
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: just has to kiss that plane, and then you're there.

761
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: And I believe he got there, but I can't do

762
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: anything about it. He gave a very diplomatic answer, saying

763
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: I he basically said, I think I was in. I've

764
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: got to look at the replays. But why While he

765
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: was given that answer in the locker room post game,

766
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember which receiver was, you know, outside the

767
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: scrum he get, he just goes he was in. He

768
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: was oh okay, like as he's given this said about

769
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: three times, nobody off Mike, Yes, yes, that's nice. All right,

770
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: Well let's take a break, we come back a little

771
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: bit more. Some reasons for optimism when you're playing the

772
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, Mark, I'm going to keep you optimistic.

773
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. Along with my singing that's all coming up.

774
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: We've got one final segment of Texans All Access. Don't

775
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Final segment of Texans All Access. We're discussing

776
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs here at an NRG Stadium on

777
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: Sunday for Week fifteen. Mark really wanted to score a

778
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: season high against the Cowboys last week. I'm here for

779
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: reasons for optimism. Okay, the Broncos scored a season high

780
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: twenty eight points against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are out

781
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: to a twenty seven nothing lead over the Broncos. Now,

782
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: did the Broncos win, No, they didn't. But Patrick Mahomes

783
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: he also threw three interceptions. Guess which team is really

784
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: good at takeaways this one? Yeah, build on what you

785
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: did last week against the Cowboys. I mean the Chiefs

786
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: are not They're not like iron clad right now? Yeah,

787
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: and maybe they might overlook this text on this team.

788
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: Are we going? You want a reason for optimism from all? Go?

789
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Why? I don't. I know they were getting

790
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: more reps than they were normally accustomed to, But goodness,

791
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: can't you be excited and kids, you be optimistic about

792
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: what you saw from a Marie Rodgers and Chris Moore.

793
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 1: I mean, and Chris Moore, we kind of knew coming

794
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: in he makes plays. When you call his number, you

795
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: don't get his number called too much, but the guy

796
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: comes up with pretty good catches. You know, he had

797
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: a hundred yard game against the Patriots last year. I'm

798
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: not saying send him to Canton or anything like that,

799
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: but he's clearly somebody that when he's on the field,

800
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: he helps you out and he does good things. And

801
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: Amari Rodgers, I mean, he played a lot last week.

802
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: He got a lot of snaps last week, didn't get targeted,

803
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: but once they threw the ball is way four catches

804
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: fifty some yards, the touchdown look good. I mean, he's

805
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: got a little something for you. And when Collins comes back,

806
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: if Cooks comes back, I mean, it's a nice little

807
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: attack for you. Yeah. I like that. I loved seeing

808
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: what Chris Moore did. I want him around here for

809
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: a long time. I think he's a great addition to

810
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: the team. Johnny's been talking about the fact that he

811
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: still plays all the special teams while he's doing that

812
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: catching ten balls down to punt at the one. Yeah,

813
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: that was a huge play at the time. So I

814
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: love all that I think that the defense certain elements

815
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: of it. Playing against Patrick Mahomes. Obviously it's incredibly difficult,

816
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 1: maybe the best quarterback in the league. But you're gonna

817
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: get whatever version of their best is out of this team.

818
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: And they got up to this game against Dallas. They

819
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: will be sky high for the Chiefs. And I was

820
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: talking about, Man, they're all beat up after a game,

821
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: a physical game against the Cowboys. They're gonna bring it

822
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday. No one wants to look bad against Patrick

823
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs. This is a Super Bowl contender.

824
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: I do think the Chiefs are well aware of their

825
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: situation that they need to keep pace. They need to

826
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: somehow find a way to keep pace and perhaps get

827
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: a buye if Buffalo should stumble. So there's a lot

828
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: of drama there. They're all important now four games to go. Hey,

829
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: you're not a playoff team, but maybe you can make

830
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: somebody else miserable. You almost did last week. Maybe they

831
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: can this week. I love that about Chris Moore, but

832
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: I mean he talked about it to the media today.

833
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: He's never had a game with ten catches before. Usually

834
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: he's he gets his three or four five career high before.

835
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's crazy. So maybe he's a he's a

836
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: weapon that's sort of an underutilized and it's good to

837
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: know that if your top two receivers go down that

838
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: a guy like him, as a veteran, he can step

839
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: up and he can put up some yards. I'm gonna

840
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: go defense as another reason for optimism, the fact that

841
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: this defense is forcing the takeaways and Jalen Petrie ill, Yeah,

842
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: He's put it out on social media, just like a

843
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: highlight reel of just his game against the Cowboys and

844
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: his tackle on Ezekiel Elliott for that goal line stuff.

845
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the guy that got under him first.

846
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie opened up a tattoo parlor at AT and

847
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: T Stadium in between the lines on Sunday. He was

848
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: blasting dude, so he was he caught the attention of

849
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: the Dallas media. There. There's you know, some folks saying

850
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: this guy's a stud. They're retweeting their draft preps saying

851
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie is a stud. And he showed it. I

852
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: mean it was it was really impressive to see him

853
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: doing that. And boy, he's he's a bright spot for

854
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: this future, no doubt. Can't wait to get some of

855
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: the other guys back. You'd love to have Stingley back,

856
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: especially against teams like this where they have these good

857
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: receivers and you want to see how he matches up.

858
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: But you know, health is more important, and I know

859
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: the future is important as well, but I want to

860
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: see it and I just get up to these games.

861
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: I think that we should make it battle Red Day

862
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs are coming in with their fans. They're

863
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: all going to be wearing red and make it battle

864
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: right to day A Part two. Yeah, they'll blend in. Ha,

865
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: there goes your road field advantage. Yeah, you can't bad

866
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: the Texans. Since the Cowboys were white at home. It's

867
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: too bad the Texans couldn't have gone battle red there.

868
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: Un I'm saying, like the Texans show up in the

869
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: helmets battle at Jerseys. That would have been cool. Yeah. Well,

870
