Game day is every day. 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. I have nights a week. 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: They hits keep on coming. The Texans say they have 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: it and they do. No. It's Texans. All Exans Welcome 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: and everybody too. From Monday edition of Texans All Access 9 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: Post Coaches Show. Welcome in Glad you're here with me. 10 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: I am John Harris, football analyst and silent reporter and 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: still very very cold after yesterday one of the craziest 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: weather situations I have ever seen in a football game. Now, 13 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: I started to think back in my time on the 14 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: sidelines in Miami, we had kind of a gully washer 15 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: for about two minutes, and against Miami A twenty fifteen, 16 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: we had snow up in Green Bay the whole time. 17 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: But that was just, you know, light snow falling at 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: which I didn't really mind. My shoes got a little wet, 19 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: but other than that, I kind of like that. I mean, 20 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: I was born an hour north of there, so it 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: was kind of you student some sense, and it kind 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: of made the whole Lamba experience just right, if you will, 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: until the Texas lost that game. But either way, I 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: started thinking on the plane home, like, man, was there 25 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: anything else? Because in a national anthem hit yesterday it 26 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: was it was wild. That's the only word I come 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: up with. I didn't feel like I was in danger 28 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,279 Speaker 1: or anything like that, so I can't say I was scared. 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: But it rained as hard as I've ever seen, and 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: then the hail came down. So you had this rain 31 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: coming down, the hail coming down, and then you had 32 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: about fifty to fifty five wins. And I literally turned 33 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: my back to the wind to just keep you know, trying, 34 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, hold get one of my body, you know, wet, 35 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: as opposed to the whole thing wet. So I turned 36 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: in and there were a couple of times to win 37 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: literally just pushed me forward. And there were light instructures. 38 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't see from down where I was in the 39 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: bowl dot on my moat on the first row because 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: I didn't see to cross the way from me, but 41 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: it happened apparently behind me. That's what set the teams in. 42 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: So it's a wild afternoon in Cleveland yesterday and Fortune 43 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: afternoon ten seven, And we won't spend too much time 44 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: talking about that, but we will have John McClain on 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: and Andre were on to talk about that a little 46 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: while from now. But I usually kick off this Monday 47 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: All Access show with a run around the NFL, and 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: it was, boy, you talk about the kind of weekend, 49 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: it was, Oh my goodness. Here just a snippet of 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: the scores or the spreads in those games three points, 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: three points, four points, two points eight seven six. So 52 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: you had a number of close games yesterday, the Texans 53 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: being one of those. The Texans that might have been 54 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: I think the low scoring game in the NFL issue 55 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: that I can think of, seventeen points. It surpassed the 56 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: sixteen six game that the Raiders and the Browns played 57 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: before the Browns went on a bar. But either way, 58 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: let's dive in, and let's start with Thursday Nights game 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: where the Colts traveled to Nashville to take on the 60 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, and by a gully washer, I mean the 61 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: Colts rained down on the Titans again. That was seventeen thirteen, 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: half a half in the titans favor completely went the 63 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: other direction, and I shouldn't even go before that. It 64 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: was seventeen ten when Rodrigo Blanketship hit a forty three 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: yard field goal right the end of a half that 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: made it seventeen thirteen, and the Colts were the only 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: team to score the rest of the way. Nim Hines 68 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: ran one in from two yards after Trevor Daniel, former 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Texans punter, boxed the punt and kicked it about seventeen yards. 70 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: The Colts then took it into the end zone with 71 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: that Hines run. A little while later, they blocked a punt. EJ. 72 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: Speed came off the right edge, blocked the punt. T 73 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: J Carry picked it up ran it in. That gave 74 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: the Colts twenty seven to seventeen lead. And then a 75 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: little while later Jacobe Brissette who would score from two 76 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: yards out on a quarterback sneak and that would give 77 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: the Colts a thirty four to seventeen when when the 78 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: Colts play well, you can look at one area Rivers. 79 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was twenty nine and thirty nine for three 80 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: oh eight and a touchdown. He did not turn the 81 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: ball over and his guy on the night was Michael Pittman. 82 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: Oh boy, this guy loved the draft process and now 83 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: he is paying dividends. For the Colts, seven catches, one 84 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: hundred and one yards night, em Hines had a touchdown 85 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: on the ground, he had one through the air. That 86 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: was enough to beat the Titans that struggled. Tanny Hill 87 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: only had one hundred and forty seven yards. Derek Harry 88 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: did go over one hundred, but it took him nineteen 89 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: carrious to do it. They could not get much going 90 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: in the second half. Whatsoever. The Colts win this thing 91 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: thirty four to seventeen. Ugly night for the Tennessee tits 92 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: a fold to six and three Colts fold of six 93 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: and three. But the Texans at two and six and 94 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: the Jags at one and seven, they're gonna finish one two. 95 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of what order they're going to 96 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: finish in the AFC South. All right, Let's go to 97 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: Carolina where the Panthers had been playing good football for 98 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: the most part, and then yesterday came again. That was 99 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: tied seventeen seventeen at the half. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 100 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: scored twenty nine points in the second half to the 101 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: Panthers six. Now Teddy Bridgewater did go down in this game, 102 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: was banged up a little bit, but he threw eighteen 103 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: to twenty four four one thirty six. He threw an 104 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: interception that was tough. But the big big star on 105 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: this day was Rojoe Ronald Jones twenty three carries for 106 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 1: one hundred ninety two yards, a ninety eight yard run 107 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, which essentially kind of excuse me, 108 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 1: the third quarter that kind of kicked off that scoring. 109 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: In the third quarter, they got a Ryan suck Up 110 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: field goal, they put them ahead twenty to seventeen, and 111 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: then Rojoe ran ninety eight yards. Then suck Up had 112 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: a few field goals, Brady had a sneak, Gronkowski scored 113 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: from seven yards out, and before you notice forty six 114 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: twenty three, Brady bounces back from that horrible game against 115 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: the Saints on Sunday Night, twenty eight to thirty nine, three, 116 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: forty one three touchdowns, no picks, no picks, and check 117 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: out this distribution in the passing game and Tonio Brown 118 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: sixty nine yards seven catches, Chris Godwin six catches ninety 119 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: two yards, Mike Evins six catches seventy seven yards. Then 120 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: the tight ends, cam Rate three for thirty one and 121 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: a touch, Gronk two for fifty one and a touch, 122 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: and then London fernand even at two catches for eleven yards. 123 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: He's got weapons, and against the Panthers he used them. 124 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: The Panthers unfortunately fall to three and seven, while the 125 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved to seven and three, and they 126 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: get back up on the horse after a rough outing 127 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: against the New Orleans Saints last week. Bucks seven and three, 128 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: but they're gonna need a little bit of help from 129 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: teams facing the Saints because the Saints had the season 130 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: sweep over the Tampa Bay Bucks. All right, let's go 131 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: to Detroit where the Detroit Lions took on the Washington 132 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: football team. And in this one, the Lions jumped out early. 133 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: They took a twenty four to three lead after a 134 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift fifteen yard touchdown catch from Matt Stafford. But 135 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: then the Washington football team climbed back. I'm a Kissick 136 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: touchdown run, then two Antonio Gibson touchdown runs, and it 137 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,119 Speaker 1: was twenty four twenty four with little over six minutes 138 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: left in the fourth. Then they both hit field goals 139 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: to tie it again. At twenty seven, but Matt Prader, 140 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: on the final play of the game nailed it from 141 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: fifty nine yards to give them a thirty to twenty 142 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: seven lead. Matt Stafford brings them back down the field 143 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: in just sixteen seconds. It was only three plays in 144 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: thirty four yards, but it was enough to get Prater 145 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: just in his range. Now, he I think has hit 146 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: a sixty three or sixty four yard in the past, 147 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you he hit an absolute bomb from 148 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: fifty nine yards to win this one. The Lions go 149 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: to four and five. The Washington football team falls in 150 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: two and seven, and Matt Stafford had himself a day 151 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy six yards passing three tutties through 152 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: one to Marvin Jones. He threw one of DeAndre Swift 153 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: and they threw one to haul for fifty nine fifty 154 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: five yards for a touchdown. DeAndre Swift eighty one yards 155 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: in the ground. He also had sixty eight yards in receiving. 156 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: He stepped in and did a really nice job. That 157 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: was his first start as a rookie. Washington didn't get 158 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: much done. Terry mcclarin had ninety five yards receiving in 159 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: twenty seven yards rushing Alex Smith through three hundred and 160 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: ninety yards, but he didn't have a touchdown or interception. 161 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: It feels like a very Alex Smith sort of game. 162 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: But the Lions get the win thirty to twenty seven. 163 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: And in one of the box score Hero moments of 164 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: the day, the Washington football team had thirty four first 165 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: downs and lost the game thirty four. How does that happen? 166 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: Thirty four first downs and lost the game? Man, what 167 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: a game it was in Detroit as the Lions beat 168 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: the Washington football team. All right, let's go up to 169 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: lambeau Field where they're having a little bit of weather. 170 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: Found out from my mom today they have a little 171 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: bit snow today, but yesterday just cold and windy in 172 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay. But didn't stop the Packers from beating the 173 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: Jaguars twenty four to twenty. The Jags actually keep this 174 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: thing close to get it to twenty four to twenty, 175 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: but and not make the plays they need to make 176 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: to win the game. They took a lead in the 177 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: fourth quarter with the McLauchlin thirty yard field goal thirty 178 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: one yard field goal that made it twenty to seventeen, 179 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: but Davante Adams caught a six yarder from Aaron Rodgers 180 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: to take a twenty four to twenty league and lead, 181 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: and that's how this one would finish for the Jaguars. 182 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: James Robson went for over one hundred yards one hundred 183 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: and nine yards and twenty three carries. He's the only 184 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: one to carry the ball for the Jags. Jake Luton 185 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty nine yards passing on eighteen and 186 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: thirty five, had a touch but had an interception, and 187 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: that ended up being a big factor. Aaron Rodgers threw 188 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: for three hundred twenty five yards and two touchdowns, but 189 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: he also threw an interception. And DeVante Adams continues his 190 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: tour and run through the AFC South with eight catches 191 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: for sixty six yards and a touchdown. That's the difference. 192 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: Packers have a Davante Adams and you don't. Packers moved 193 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: to seven to two on the year in the Jaguars 194 00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: fall to one and eight. Yikes, But they played hard 195 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: and lambeau Man, I gotta give it to him. They 196 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: played tough. They had that lead in the fourth quarter 197 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: and it looked like maybe they could pull off the upset, 198 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: but didn't. Happen again because of Davante Adams all right 199 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: in an NFC East battle. This game man kind of 200 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: all over the place in the some sense. The Giants 201 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: win two in a row and two in a row 202 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: in the division. They beat the Washington football team last week, 203 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: and they beat the Philadelphia Eagles twenty seven to seventeen. 204 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: This one kind of back and forth for a little bit, 205 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: but then in the fourth quarter the Giants took over 206 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: down twenty one to seven. Graham Gono hit two field 207 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: goals to help give the New York Giants a twenty 208 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: seven to seventeen lead, and the Eagles could not respond. 209 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,479 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones two hundred and forty four yards passing, no touchdowns, 210 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: no interceptions, but he had nine carries for sixty four 211 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: yards and a touch. Wayne Gallman, the running back one 212 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: de Shawn Watson was at Clemson fifty three yards rushing, 213 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and those tuddies would end up being a difference. 214 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: The Eagles got eighty five yards from Miles Sanders, They 215 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: got a touchdown fifty six yarder from Boston Scott. Corey 216 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: Clement got in the end zone, but it was not enough. 217 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz didn't do much through the air, two hundred 218 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,479 Speaker 1: and eight yards, no touchdowns, do interceptions. And the Giants, 219 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: now at three and seven, are right in the mix. 220 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: And look, everybody's in the mix and NFC East everybody 221 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: but the Giants are three and seven. The Eagles are 222 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: three five and one and one by the Eagles yesterday 223 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: would have put them at four four and one, somewhat respectable, 224 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: I guess, compared with the NFC East has been. But 225 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: right now they got the same number of wins as 226 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: the Giants. The Giants will be a game back, I 227 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: think because the Eagles have a tie and they've got 228 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: two less wins. So leave that as it is. When 229 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: everything ferrets out, everything works itself out, I should say 230 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: Johns could be right there. They're playing very well for 231 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: Joe Judge after losing I think their first seven in 232 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: a row, they've won three in a row nowt and 233 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: they are playing well. Let's go out to Phoenix, where 234 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: I just have to rip the band aid off on 235 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: this one. And I'm sorry to do this. I really 236 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: don't want to do this. Deando Hopkins caught a hill 237 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: Mary for the Cardinals to beat the Buffalo Bills. I'm sorry. 238 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: I can't go any further with that. That just stinks 239 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: too much. All right, Let's move out to Las Vegas, 240 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: where the Raiders were taking on the Broncos. And you 241 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: remember how I said there were a bunch of close 242 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: games in the NFL, and this was not one of them. 243 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: The Raiders house the Broncos. This one was not even close. 244 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: The Raiders jumped out to a thirty to sixth lead 245 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: with ten minutes left in the fourth quarter. Sean Hamilton 246 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: Dick gets touchdown passed for the Broncos to cut at 247 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: the thirty to twelve, but Advante book Or twenty three 248 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: yard run capped the scoring thirty seven twelve. Derek Carr 249 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: did do much. This was not his kind of day, 250 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: but it was the kind of day for Josh Jacobs 251 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: and DeVante Booker one hundred and twelve yards rushing for 252 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: Jacobs two touchdowns, DeVante Booker eighty one yards rushing and 253 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: two touchdowns four touchdowns on the ground, they rushed for 254 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: over two hundred three yards. The Raiders ground game got 255 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: bizy against the Broncos, Andrew Locke through not one, not two, 256 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: not three, but four interceptions in this thirty seven to 257 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: twelve win. For the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas Raiders 258 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: are six and three, not gonna catch the Chiefs. I 259 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think. The Broncos fall to three 260 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: and six. A promising year at the beginning for the 261 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: Broncos has turned into an absolute nightmare for Denver as 262 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: they fall to three and six. Let's go down to 263 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: Miami where two a tongue violoa has started for three 264 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: games and the Dolphins are three in O. Now. He 265 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: was facing the man drafted one pick behind him, Justin Herbert, 266 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: who had had a lot of acclaim and a lot 267 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: of publicity before two have got on the field, and 268 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: so many thought, well, oh man, Miami screwed up. They 269 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: should have taken Herbert over two of I don't know. 270 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: I think either one of them is going to prove 271 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: to be the smart move two yesterday through four one 272 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine yards. It sounds like a whole lot, 273 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: but he threw two touchdowns, one to Jachem Grant, one 274 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: to Dustin Smithe's tight end, and he delivered the ball 275 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: to two four six eight different receivers yesterday in a 276 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: twenty nine to twenty one win on the ground, salvadam 277 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: Med from University Washington twenty one carries for eighty five yards. 278 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: Didn't get a ton done on the ground, but they 279 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: picked off Herbert once. He only threw for one hundred 280 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: and eighty seven yards, but he did have two touchdowns, 281 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: one to Hunter Henry and one to Keenan Allen. But 282 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: it was not enough. The Dolphins come up big twenty 283 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: nine twenty one. That's three in a row with two 284 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: at the helm. Dolphins moved to six three and the 285 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: Chargers are a recognizable two and seven. I say, well, recognizable, 286 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: maybe more familiar because the detections are two and seven, 287 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: so I know exactly what the Chargers are going through 288 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: right now. Dolphins right in the mix. How about that? 289 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: My goodness? Six and three. The Bills are seven and three. 290 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: They're a half game. Back Man Peter King said the 291 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: Dolphins are going to the playoffs in the offseason. I 292 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: didn't scoff at it too much, but I thought, okay, 293 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: I believe it. I thought the Bills were on the 294 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: on the upswing. He might be right. They might not 295 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: only be going to the playoffs, they might win that 296 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: Daggum Division. Now at two at quarterback, all right, Let's 297 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: go to Sofi Stadium where the La Rams took on 298 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. And I don't know if the Seahawks have 299 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: been held under twenty points much of this year. That 300 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: offense has been awesome, but yesterday the La Rams defense 301 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: got it done. They held Russell Wilson a two hundred 302 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: and forty eight passing yards and they picked him twice. 303 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: They got him twice and those were huge, and Williams 304 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: got both of them for the Rams two interceptions. As 305 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: the Seahawks scored just sixteen points, the Rams get win 306 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: this one twenty three to sixteen. Myers needed a fuel 307 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: goal with twenty five seconds left to cut it within seven, 308 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: but this really was not a close ball game for 309 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: the most part, as the Rams held a seven to 310 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: ten point lead throughout golf through for three hundred and 311 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: two yards, Malcolm Brown ran for two touchdowns, Darrell Henderson 312 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: ran for a touchdown. The ground game accounts for three 313 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: touchdowns on the day, and that would be it. Twenty 314 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: three to sixteen, the La Rams sticking in this race. 315 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 1: Rams six and three, Seahawks six and three, and the 316 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals are six and three. My goodness, what a division. 317 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: The NFC West has speaking NFC West. Would the forty 318 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: nine Ers stay in the race, No, Saints beat them 319 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 1: twenty seven to thirteen. As Drew Brees had to come 320 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: out of this game. But he did throw a touchdown, 321 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: but it was albun Kamara all of fifteen yards rushing, 322 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: but it didn't matter. He had two touchdowns on the 323 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: ground and the forty nine Ers quarterbacks struggled. Nick Mullins 324 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: two interceptions on the day, did throw a touchdown the 325 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Iyuk, but it was the Saints defense that got 326 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: this one in their direction. Malcolm Jenkins would have picked. 327 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 1: Patrick Robinson would a pick and that would end up 328 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: being the difference in a two touchdown win for the 329 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: Saints twenty seven to thirteen. The Saints now the leaders 330 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: in the NFC South seven and two with the twenty 331 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: seven thirteen win over the forty nine Ers. All those 332 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: injuries fall through four and six, and more than likely 333 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: the three teams that had him tied at six and 334 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: three pretty much out of the race. All right, Let's 335 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: go to Pittsburgh where the Steelers were taken on Joey 336 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: b Joey Burrow for the first time, and let's just 337 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: say not the greatest outing, but to be expected for 338 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow two hundred thirteen yards. He did have a touchdown, 339 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: but he was sacked four times. But it was his 340 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: opposite number, Ben Roethlisberger, who went off four touchdowns, passing 341 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty three yards through the air. Dante 342 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: Johnson had one hundred and sixteen yards receiving in a touch, 343 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster had seventy seven yards receiving in a touch, 344 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: and Chase clay Pool, the rookie from Notre Dame, four 345 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: catches for fifty six yards and two of them went 346 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: for touchdowns. The Steelers walloped the Bengals thirty six to 347 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: ten in the Steel City. The Pittsburgh Steelers remain undefeated 348 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: at nine and oh what a season it has been 349 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: for Mike Tomlin, Ben Roethlisberger and the twenty twenty Pittsburgh Steelers. 350 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: And finally in Foxboro you had the Ravens taken on 351 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots on Sunday night. This looked and I thought, 352 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: going into this game, I didn't give the Patriots much 353 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: of a chance. I mean, listen to the names on 354 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: the Patriot offense. Jacobe Meyers, Jacob Johnson, Damien Harris, damer Burg, 355 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: Ryan Izzo, that's not Gronkowski, Edelman, Amandola and the sort. 356 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,239 Speaker 1: That's a group you've never heard of. And yet the 357 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: Patriots beat the Ravens twenty three to seventeen, and really 358 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: at ten to seven, the Ravens had a lead, but 359 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: then it turned for the Patriots. They ran off the 360 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: next sixteen points in this game. And it really wasn't 361 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: it was really not in doubt. Willie Steve konn eighteen 362 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: yard touchdown passed from Lamar Jackson with eight seconds left 363 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, and so it stayed a six 364 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: point game on it to the fourth quarter, but either 365 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: team could put in the end zone and it didn't 366 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: matter to the Patriots. Patriots get it done. Damian Harris 367 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: twenty two carries one hundred twenty one yards on the ground. 368 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: Cam Newton only at twenty one yards rushing, but he 369 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: did have a rushing touchdown and Rex Burkhead caught two 370 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: touchdown passes, one from Jacobe Myers, one from Cam Newton. 371 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: What a night for Jacobe Myers. He led the Patriots 372 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: and receptions receiving yards and he was tied for touchdown 373 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: passes twenty three seventeen. The Patriots at four and five, 374 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: now feeling their oats a little bit, get a big 375 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: win to stay in the race. And now they come 376 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: to NRG Stadium on Sunday. All right, that was Week 377 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: ten in the NFL.

Welcome back to this 398 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: Monday edition of Texas All Access from the Unday Texans 399 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris, and we had 400 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with the General John McClean, 401 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: who was actually in Cleve. Still in Cleveland. When we 402 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with him, well, we 403 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: talked about any number of things, including the weather and 404 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: how crazy that was on Sunday that game yesterday, General, 405 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: it was we even saw the sun come out. In fact, 406 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: on the fourth and goal stop of the Browns had 407 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: the sun was out for that stop. I mean it 408 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: was windy that it was ridiculous, the wind that we 409 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: had yesterday there in Cleveland, because it was it poured 410 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: like I've never seen it. The sun came out at 411 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: certain points where there's blue skies, then it was cloudy, 412 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: then it rained a little bit. It was all over place. 413 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: I thought Houston had crazy weather, but Cleveland might be 414 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: even worse. Well, that's because they're on Lake Erie. I've 415 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: been coming here for over four decades and I've been 416 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: in snowstorms, white outs, wind rain, but no win like yesterday. 417 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: And of course I've never been in a game where 418 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: they had to leave the field and delay it like 419 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: they did for thirty seven minutes yesterday. And after the 420 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: game was over, and I wrote, I had to shoot 421 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: my segment for our TV show Texas Sports Nation. It's 422 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: on Channel two Sunday nights, and read Kumer, a photographer, 423 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: and I went out into the stands, and my god, 424 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: I told I couldn't keep my cap on. And when 425 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: we were walking to our cars about eight o'clock and 426 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: I had to take my cap off because no matter 427 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: how tight, I pulled it down. And I how in 428 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: the world I can see you hand off, But how 429 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: do you throw the ball? How do you kick the ball? 430 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: How do you feel punts? Isn't it amazing? There were 431 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: no turnovers in that game. It's incredible. I would have 432 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: taken one. I would have taken one for us, just one. 433 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: And how about you get turnovers in the kicking game? 434 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: Like people muff punts and indoor perfect addition games, and 435 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: yesterday it's like, no, no problem, I'm going to catch 436 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: this easy. They worked on it, and I think also 437 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: in that situation, players focus on it so much. Plus 438 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: they tell them to be careful, you know, get out 439 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: of the way, let it hit. I thought we didn't 440 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: see any fifteen or twenty yard punts in that game. Fortunately, 441 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: instead of swirling like it usually does, it was blowing, 442 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, in the second half. They in the second 443 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: half they had at their backs when they had in 444 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: the third quarter and they were going into it earlier. 445 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: It's why Romeo didn't want to try forty eight yard 446 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: field goal. But that, you know, it's amazing. I talked 447 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: last week about the Browns. They don't have quarterbacks with 448 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: high ratings because they're never going to complete a high 449 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: percentage of passes because of the weather conditions at home. 450 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: Even when it's bright, sunshine in ninety degrees in September, 451 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: the wind can come off the Lake erie something fair. 452 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: And while John was pregame tweeting pictures of the field 453 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: and showing a little little clouds above, I'm watching these 454 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: clouds coming towards us off of Lake Gary, and you 455 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be bad. You know, while we 456 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: were at the game, they had they put out an alert, 457 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: they had power lines down, they had mobile home damage, 458 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: tree damage, they had those warnings all over the Cleveland 459 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: area and we're there watching a football game. No big 460 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: deal to them. That's why they build. Always want to 461 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: have a strong running game. And boy we saw do 462 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: they have a two headed monster when those guys are healthy. 463 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: And that's that why Baker Mayfield will never throw a 464 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 1: lot of touchdown passes because seldom are the conditions just 465 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: ideal at First Energy Stadium. Well, I think they also 466 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 1: want to keep it under control with him, and they are. 467 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's cut down in the interceptions this year. 468 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: He's still had fifteen touchdown passes coming into yesterday, and 469 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: they're running the ball. They're a top five running team 470 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: now they have Chub back and they can go back 471 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: even higher in the rankings where they were number one 472 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: after four games when he got hurt. General all right, 473 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: so let's go over the fourth down situations. Look, second 474 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: guessing is always going to happen when you don't make 475 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: it in a fourth down situation. Fourth and goal at 476 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: the two were you okay with that one. You know, 477 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: we debated me and kick a field goal at least 478 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: you tie the game, but you're so close and maybe 479 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: you just take the lead and that's enough. And also 480 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: the field goal attempt from forty six yards out, they 481 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: missed it. It was a fourth and two as well. 482 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on those two situations. I had no problem 483 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: going for the fourth down. My problem was a quarterback 484 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: draw because they haven't been able to run up the 485 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: middle most of the season. Now, Duke Johnson had two 486 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: great runs eighteen and twenty three yards, but by and 487 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: large they have been able to run up the middle. 488 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: I would have preferred giving him an option of throwing 489 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: or running because put it in his hands, but not 490 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: where he just because it is where. Two media people 491 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 1: next to me when they were lined up said they 492 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: or watched the quarterback draw, and I'm telling anyone will 493 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: do that the way they're running up the middle. But 494 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: in the play before, you know, God could have caught 495 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: that ball. He might have been tackled at the one, 496 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: but he should have caught it. And so I don't 497 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: have a problem with going forward there. And they got 498 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: the ball back, you know they did. They had good 499 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: field position. When you started drive at the opponent's forty 500 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: nine yard line, you ought to come away with something right, 501 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: at least the field goal, and then the other one 502 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: from forty six yards. The win was a fair Baron's back. 503 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: He just missed it wide. I didn't have a problem 504 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: with that either. I kept thinking at the end, if 505 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: the defense could just come up with a stop and 506 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: give Watson a chance to get the ball back, because 507 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: that touchdown drive ninety yards. And yeah, they benefited from 508 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: one penalty, but they looked just like there was no 509 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: win going on that series and they were going into 510 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: it so and then of course the defense couldn't do 511 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: it that, just like the defense couldn't do it at Tennessee. Now, 512 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: It's interesting, is what team is third rushing in the NFL, 513 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: the one that's coming to use and so they just 514 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,239 Speaker 1: couldn't stop the run on that play, and and uh 515 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: so you know it's it's the fourth Laws. By one score. 516 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: Last year, the Texans were eight and three in one 517 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: score games. They have to win for one game on 518 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: the road. Last year they were five and three on 519 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: the roads. They're just not the same. Players are just 520 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: not doing the things they did last season, John, what 521 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: do you think is more maddening? Oh, by the way, 522 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: I knew exactly that it was a quarterback drop two. 523 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: So if all of us knew it, a guarantee of 524 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: Miles garretting them knew it, and I read the quotes 525 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: they knew it too. It looked like the left side 526 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: was open too. If if he just cut, easy for 527 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: me to say, because that was the play call, that 528 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: was the design. But if he runs to the left side, 529 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: I would be shocked if he didn't have a chance 530 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: to dive in and again easy for me to say, 531 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: but again, put on your cape and do it, buddy. Yeah, 532 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's unfortunate. But either way, John, what do 533 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: you think has been more maddening this year? The fact 534 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: that Texans can't run the football or the that they're 535 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 1: not able to stop the run. Last year, they were 536 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: able to run the football. They were ninth in rushing 537 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: every one hundred and twenty five yards a game under 538 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: twenty six and over the last nine games last season 539 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: they were awful against the run. I still can't figure 540 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: that out. How you can give up eighty four yards 541 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: for nine games and then just totally collapsed for the 542 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: last nine games. So the running defense. The run defense 543 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: was terrible over the last nine last year, and I thought, 544 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: maybe they get it turned around. But I had no idea. 545 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: I thought with all the winement back top two tight 546 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: ends back in David Johnson and Duke Johnson. Duke average 547 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: four point nine yards carry last year. He went into 548 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: this game averaging two point eight. Now he's up to 549 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: three point one. David Johnson was averaging four point zero. 550 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: To me, that's a big, bigger mystery because we didn't 551 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: see that coming at the end of the the last season. 552 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: We're like, we saw the run defense and the biggest 553 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: need day. They don't have a lot of needs on offense. 554 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: To me, the need a running back in the right 555 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: guard and when you get inside to five, as we 556 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: used to see with Arian Foster, you got to have 557 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: a running back inside to five who you know is 558 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: gonna get in most of the time like Arian did. 559 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: He was money when he was close to the goal 560 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: line and he was eight. He was an undrafted free agent. 561 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm watching Alvin Kamara. He's a third round pick. Texans 562 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: have a third round pick. You can get running back. 563 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: So that is the biggest need on offense. The defense 564 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: has to get a lot of work the new coach 565 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: and GM. But the running game, it's just almost impossible 566 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: to win when you can't move it on the ground. 567 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: All right, John, Patriots and Ravens. Last night, it looks 568 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: like New England our next opponent here at NRG Stadium. 569 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: Looks like New England is ready to put something together here. 570 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: I know they had that shaky, but it was a 571 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: win against the Jets and then against the Ravens last night. 572 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: Weather aided, but they got the job done and they're 573 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: trying to make a move in the AFC East. They 574 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: lost four in a row. We're all ready to write 575 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: them off. They barely beat the Jets and then they 576 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: come back and beat the Ravens. I was stunned. I 577 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: thought Baltimore would go hit there and would be able 578 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: to run the ball with Gus Edwards, Lamar Jackson. They 579 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: had all their backs healthy, and here comes Harris and 580 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I wasn't never seen a quarterback with the 581 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: discrepancy and touchdown passes. I think he's got three and 582 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns rushing, second to Kyler Murray's ten. But they 583 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: run the ball. They're averaging four point eight yards of carrying. 584 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: The Browns were averaging five, so we know what they're 585 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: gonna try to do when they come in there. And 586 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: it was amazing. Texans played such good run defense in 587 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: the first half, and I think they just got worn 588 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: down in the fourth quarter, especially at the end. We've 589 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: seen that before. And then of course Chubb's fifty nine 590 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: yard run. They should justin Reid almost had him in 591 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: the backfield. So they got to come back and got 592 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: to play a whole game like they played the first 593 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: half and most of the third quarter against the Browns. 594 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: Can they do it? Yeah? They just showed us they 595 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: could do it. And it's weird. When the Patriots came 596 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: in last year, they had the number one defense in 597 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: the NFL, They had I think the second best record 598 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: in the AFC at the time. And Watson throws three 599 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: touchdown passes and he catches a touchdown pass from DeAndre 600 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: Hopkins and what a turnaround it's been. Maybe he can, 601 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, relive some of that magic. Wait? Who is 602 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: that name? You just said? That Hopkins guy? Will? Yeah, 603 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Never never heard of that 604 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: guy at all. John, Where where are they now? Oh man? 605 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: Oh boy? I missed DeAndre Hopkins. I think a lot 606 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: of you do too. I can say it, I'm gonna 607 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: say it, and I think Mark does two sous the general. 608 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: But he's doing a great job in Arizona. We wish 609 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: him luck. No, don't know all the other way to 610 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: put all right, we get back.

It's at 629 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: ten thirty or after the late local news on ABC thirteen, 630 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: we go what false segment this money edition of Texans 631 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: All Access. I'm your host, John Harris, football Analyston's sideline 632 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: reporter for your Houston Texans and we have a chance 633 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: to catch up with Andre Ware and I asked him 634 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: right off the bat what his thoughts were on the 635 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: running back position right now with Duke Johnson carrying the load, 636 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: CJ Procise and Buddy How in the wings. I just 637 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: looked at as as you know, Duke adds a spark, 638 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure Duke is an every down player, 639 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 1: and so there needs to be a compliment to Duke 640 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: johnson skill set. And I don't know if that's Buddy How. 641 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's precise. Yeah, you just don't 642 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: know if there's anybody in the building that's that that compliment, 643 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: or do they signs someone to bring them in. I 644 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: would imagine they'd go with the two backs I just mentioned, 645 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: but I thought there were opportunities to run the ball. 646 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: There are catches that need to be made. Now, with 647 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: all that said, there were a couple of opportunities on 648 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: third down for a couple of catch catch or two 649 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: to be made, and certainly in the end zone for 650 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: a catch to be made when Randall coblet one get 651 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: out of his hand. So you know, in a tight 652 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: football game, plays have to be made, and they have 653 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: to be made at tough times, and that's why guys 654 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: are paid to play this sport. Dre fourth down and 655 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: goal at the two, agree with the decision to go 656 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: for it, be agree with the play call. I have 657 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: the forth side of being able to look back. So 658 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: how did you feel time at the time. I thought 659 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: it was the right decision. I really did. And even 660 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: the look against what the play they ran, I thought 661 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: was a pretty good call. They just Miles Garrett just 662 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: beat his man and made a play. And so you 663 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 1: know that. It's why he's one of the best in 664 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: the league. It's one of the why he's one of 665 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: the best doing it. And those things happen. But you know, 666 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: Romeo Cornell, I know exactly what he's thinking. It's not 667 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: the last time, and we're gonna be down here, so 668 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: we don't need a three right now. We got the 669 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: entire game in front of us, and long behold, he didn't. 670 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: They weren't able to get back down there for quite 671 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 1: some time. What about the field goal in the third 672 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: quarter forty six yards out? They miss it. He had 673 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: the wind, but he kind of pulled it a little bit, 674 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: and you mentioned it sometimes end of the wind is 675 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: a little bit easier. But anyway, we can get to 676 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,959 Speaker 1: that at another time. How do you feel at the time, 677 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I felt like, I mean, I just hope 678 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: he made it. You know, there we were. I was 679 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: just like, whatever you do, make it work. And obviously 680 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 1: that didn't work well. You hope that wasn't influenced from 681 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, another space or coaches talking him into kicking 682 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: the field go at that point, because they were going 683 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: to go for it there and the offense was on 684 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: the field. They were set to do it, and with 685 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: nine seconds on the play clock, they called the time 686 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: out and h and then decided to kick the field goal. 687 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: So it makes you wonder if the earlier non conversion 688 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: on fourth down that decision a little bit to go 689 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: ahead and kick it and then and at that point 690 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: you're kind of chasing your tail, and no decision that 691 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: you make is right, and so you just hope that 692 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: wasn't the case. But I was okay even if they 693 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: had gone for it the second time, and with the 694 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: game being the way it was and as close as 695 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 1: it was, you know, one moment that we haven't talked about. 696 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: And I got to give Kevin Stefanski a lot of 697 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: credit because in a game that close, yards and points 698 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: were as important as time. And Stefanski after a third 699 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 1: and something, I don't know, it's third and five or 700 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 1: third and four or something like that, they didn't convert, 701 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: and the Texas defense runs off the field and they 702 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: leave their offense out on the field. They were gonna 703 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: punt the whole time, but they just wanted to see 704 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: how the Texans were going to react to it, and 705 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: they got set up, but then had to take a 706 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: time out because something they didn't like that was out there. 707 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: They took a time out. That time out could have 708 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: played very, very big at the end of that game. 709 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: But either way, one of the things Dre that I'm 710 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 1: struggling with, probably more than anything else, is how you 711 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: can play pretty solid run defense for nearly all of 712 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: three quarters and you really haven't been out on the 713 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: field much because you've had long drives. Then in the 714 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: fourth quarter it just goes completely to just bub kiss 715 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: like get all of a sudden, it's one hundred and 716 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: sixty one yards in a quarter in a play. I 717 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: just don't understand how you can go from one to 718 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: the other as quickly as it did. And I can't 719 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: explain it, can you? What do you think of this 720 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: run defense in the way it's it's playing right now? 721 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: Once two French backs, you know that that that drive 722 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,240 Speaker 1: started with Kareem Hunt and him doing his thing and 723 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, just turning out yards right down the field, 724 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, about halfway through the drive, 725 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: here comes Nick Chubb to finish it off. And so 726 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: when you got two guys with and they do a 727 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: great job of it with fresh legs, then uh, that's 728 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: that's hard to stop. One guy's a powerful runner that 729 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: you got to meet with intensity, and the other one's 730 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: gonna run run your your tongue into the church trying 731 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: to chase him. And he can be powerful when need be. 732 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: And kind of going back to the time out. I 733 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: think kemp in Stefanski the entire time. His sole mission 734 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: was to make Romeo Cornell Burners mission was to make 735 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: him call the time out. They weren't gonna go for it. 736 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: They were they were gonna make him call the time 737 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: out because of how much time was on the clock, 738 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: and was gonna punt the football no matter what. As 739 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: soon as the Texans call the time out, the punt 740 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: team was on the field, and at that point he 741 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: burned the time out that you knew, you know, you 742 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: might need later in the game if you got the 743 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: football back with a chance to and go ahead. So 744 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: it was brilliant on this part. Drake. It's impossible to 745 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: ignore the record as much as I try. Two and 746 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: seven and here you are with seven games to go, 747 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: and you played on a team that went to an 748 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: NFC championship game. You played on some teams that had 749 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 1: losing records. So tell me. And by the way, it 750 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,760 Speaker 1: seems like it was an emotional roller coaster in Detroit 751 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: because I'm looking at these records for the Lions in 752 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: the early nineties and my goodness, but you tell me 753 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: when when you have it slipping away like this and 754 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: they need to get it back. But here you are 755 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: at two and seven. What happens psychologically to the players 756 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: when when it's you're up against it like this where 757 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: it takes basically a win out to get to where 758 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: you wanted to go at the start of the season. 759 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: What happens to them mentally and what do they need 760 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: to avoid And as far on into space as that 761 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: seems it can happen, you know, we've seen it. So 762 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: as long as that's there, I think as a coach 763 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: and that as leaders in the organization, you try to 764 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: focus on that and you keep the players focused on it. 765 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,319 Speaker 1: Because those teams that you talked about in Detroit, there 766 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: were times when I knew guys had checked out. They 767 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: were checked out. It was offseason time, they were already 768 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: playing in vacations, things of that sort, and you just 769 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: you hope that that doesn't happen, that you still get 770 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: you know, quality on the field and guys are still 771 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: playing their hearts out. You also have to make them 772 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: see when it gets to a point when you no 773 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: longer can make the playoffs, that you're playing for a reason. 774 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: And thirty one other teams that conversation starts or watching 775 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 1: the film and things of that sort. So you get 776 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: guys continuing to play hard rather than completely checking out. 777 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: And the season's over and you still have five six 778 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: games left to play, and you're at everybody's you know, 779 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get to Houston to play it at 780 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: that point. So it's a it's a very gray area, 781 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: so to speak, and you just gotta try to keep 782 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: the players as locked in as possible with still a 783 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 1: chance to run the table and other things happen within 784 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: the division and see if I see if there's a 785 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel when you when 786 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 1: you raise your head, Drey Mark and I uh, you know, 787 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: Mark kind of teases going into the segment, do you 788 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: have an unlimited budget? Which I don't know if that 789 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: is or is I mean, I'm I'm basically spending counting 790 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: there's money right now, so in a lot of buses, 791 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 1: and Janiss and Hannah a few, but I'm I'm spending 792 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: all their money right now. But I'm giving it to 793 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: you to give to the next head coach of the 794 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. And you and you alone, no add hot committee, 795 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: no corn Ferry andre Ware is picking the Houston Texans 796 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: head coach and Mark Vannerber you're gonna have to do 797 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: this as well. So you think, can I jump in 798 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: here before Trey answers? Because I know how Trey is, 799 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: like he never gives away his Heisman vote because like 800 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: if the guy who wins, he doesn't want to be like, yeah, 801 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: I didn't vote for you, So so uh dre give 802 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: me like three guys that okay, any one of these 803 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,800 Speaker 1: guys these yeah guy that we're not even talking about 804 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna win a hundred games here and you know 805 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: who knows. But give me like three guys. Oh wow, 806 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: you guys putting me right on the scrubb wow. I 807 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: told you one yesterday that I was I was thinking 808 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 1: about any coaches in Wisconsin. He's the head coach at Wisconsin, 809 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: Paul Chris. Yes, he's he's got pro experience, he's obviously 810 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,240 Speaker 1: been a head coach. He runs a pro style offense 811 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: with a flare of you know, the collegiate stuff. And 812 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 1: they've got a great running game, which obviously in this 813 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: league you have to be able to do. So you 814 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: know the plan is there. Before I did all that, um, 815 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: I also told you that I would I would blow 816 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:59,879 Speaker 1: the whole thing up. Scotting department. Everybody would be brand new, 817 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: and then I would bring in a general manager and 818 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 1: a head coach. But Paul Chris would be on my list, 819 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: and I think that's a great place to stop. We 820 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,959 Speaker 1: went into a number of different candidates when we talked 821 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 1: about this, and we'll continue to do this throughout the 822 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: rest of the year to see who we think could 823 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: be GM and head coach. We all had some theories 824 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: on it and put our thoughts all right there out 825 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: for people to have listened to. And I think Dre's 826 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: got to go into Paul Chris, very interesting and a 827 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: good developer of talent at the University of Wisconsin. All Right, 828 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for tonight's show. Big thanks to Dre, 829 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: to John McClain, to Mark, all of you for listening. 830 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,879 Speaker 1: We'll see Tom everybody, and as always, go Texans.
