1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Oh buddy, welcome into a TGI F F F f F.

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how many apps I can put it

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: in there, but thank god it's football Friday. Oh my goodness,

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: is it good to be with you this evening. I'm

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, football analyst and sideline reporter on

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: this wonderful, wonderful Friday evening. And you know what I'm

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, it's football. It's baseball playoffs, which means

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: your astros. How about that? Baby? So we got plenty

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: to do on tonight's show. We're gonna hear from a

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: couple of defensive guys. Tonight. We're gonna hear from Whitney

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Merciless in a few minutes here a little Drew's dozen

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: from Whitney. We're also gonna hear from money Mitch Terrence Mitchell,

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: who I think is one of my favorite guys on

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: this team. He is always got a smile always, no

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: matter what's going on, he's always got a smile. He

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: plays his guts out, he punches the ball out. He's

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: had two forced fumbles already this year. I think he

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: fits and we desperately missed him against the Carolina Panthers.

19
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: We gotta give my keys to the game. I got

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: plenty of them for this Sunday's matchup with the New

21
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: England Patriots for the third time in yeah, three years.

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: All those games were in Gillette for so long we

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: played him. We played him here on a Sunday night

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen and then two and sixteen, one and seventeen

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: one and eighteen, like Dad Gummett, let's play him here.

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: We lost all those games. We got him here on

27
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: a Sunday night twenty nineteen, beat them, played him last

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: year in twenty twenty, beat them twenty twenty one, facing

29
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. Hopefully I can finish the sentence the same

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: way saying beat them, But I gotta give you those

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: keys to the game to how the Texans are going

32
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots. We will have our in the lab,

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: which we didn't get to on Wednesday, so I saved

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: it for Friday. So why not. Drew and I sat

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: down and talked a little bit about Buffalo, but a

36
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: lot about how the Texans are gonna take care of

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. So we'll have that little later.

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: I got my predictions for all games this weekend, including

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: the big one. It's like a super Bowl matchup that

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: could ever be because it could only be the AFC Championship.

41
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: And it was the AFC Championship in twenty twenty, and

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: that was the Buffalo Bills taking on the Kansas City Chiefs.

43
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: And apparently the Bills are gonna get rained again in

44
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But Bills Chiefs this weekend. That's gonna be fun.

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a lot of fun on Sunday night.

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: And hopefully when we celebrated Texans wins, we all are

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: watching that game Sunday night between the Bills and the Chiefs,

48
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: and I will say that, I'll say, go Bills, Go Bills.

49
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: I might pick the Chiefs, but go Bills. Root from

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: a Palace al Capaccio to do well this year, he

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: said to me. He came over with about five or

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: six minutes left of the game. It was pretty much

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: out of hand, but wanted to catch me before we

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: kind of went our separate ways after the game, and

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: he just looked at me. He just kind of does

56
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: look and he goes, I don't know what to say, man,

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: work good. They are. They're very very good. The Bills are.

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, man, even though I'm a lifelong

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Houstonian sports fan and I hate what the Bills did

60
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: to the Oilers back in ninety two, I'll be cheering

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills, man, I really will. I like everything

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: about that team. I like how they go about their business.

63
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: I really like Josh Allen. I like the fact that

64
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: he has just kind of stuck it to everybody who

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: thought he couldn't do it. He's now an MVP candidate.

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: I think he's phenomenal as a quarterback. He's phenomenal as

67
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: a leader. He's great for that town. They love him.

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: He watched his micd up man, you know, holy smokes.

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: So I give my predictions for all the games, Bills

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: and Chiefs included. And then we'll have Whitney merciless again.

71
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have a little Drew's Dozen here in

72
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then we're gonna get a little

73
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: football centric with Whitney a little later in the show.

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: But we kick off each and every Friday show with

75
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: the man himself, the head coach of your Houston Texans,

76
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: David Culley, sat down with Mark Vandimer to talk about

77
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: this matchup against the Patriots. Coach. Let's talk about these

78
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: Patriots Offensively, they didn't run the ball really at all

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: last week, So how do you prepare for what they

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: do because you know they're probably gonna try to do that,

81
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: yet they have that good short passing game. Well, you

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: know what from week to week, you know it's been

83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: a coach Belichick's game plan offensive and defensively is you

84
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: don't ever see the same thing from week to week.

85
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: But I do know every week and I do know

86
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: his flashes. They do want to run the ball. They

87
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: didn't do it quite as much last week, but I

88
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: do know they want to try to do that and

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: would expect them to try to do that, especially with

90
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback. But we're prepared for whatever it is

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: that they want to do, Mark, And we know depending

92
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: on how they gain planning us and what they feel

93
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: about how they need to attack us, that's how they're

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: going to attack us. And if they feel like they

95
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: need to throw it fifty times, they'll throw it fifty times.

96
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: If not, then obviously they're going to try to establish

97
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: the run, try to protect a quarterback and put him

98
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: in good situations, and then go from there. Very different

99
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: offense you're facing this week, versus last week. Really completely different,

100
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, different style of offense from the standpoint of

101
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: first of all, the two quarterbacks, you know, completely different

102
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: guys there, and then just the players around their quarterback

103
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: now different than the players that we played last week.

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: But it's a it's an offense that will do whatever

105
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: it is they feel like they need to do to

106
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball. And they've always felt

107
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: like that they're versatile enough that if you allow me

108
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: to run it, I'm going to run it. If not,

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: then we're going to do what we need to do.

110
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: There are times when in the passing game they got

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: two backs back there, then there's times when there's no

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: backs back there. Basically they just got kind of figure

113
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: it out and see how you plan them and then

114
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: just go from there. But we're prepared for everything now.

115
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: As far as what they might throw at you defensively,

116
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: that's also really difficult to predict, right, It is very

117
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: difficult to predict. But the thing is what you saw

118
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: last week may not be what you get this week.

119
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: But Mark, we do know once that game starts. After

120
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: about two series in the ball game, whatever we're seeing

121
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna get for the rest of that ball game.

122
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: So if if we're on the field long enough to

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: be able to see exactly how they're gonna defend us,

124
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: then we'll know from moving forward that that's how they're

125
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: gonna play the whole ball game. We may not have

126
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: knew that going in that this is what they were

127
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna do, but once it starts, you know exactly how

128
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna play you, and then you just adjust from

129
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: there and move forward. How have you like to practice

130
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: this week and trying to get your running game going

131
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: again and whatever you can do during the week to

132
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: help you out for Sunday, Well, it's been the best

133
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday practice that we've had to this point, especially coming

134
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: off the kind of game that we had last week.

135
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: This week it was great. Our attitude on the team

136
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: was wonderful. Uh, we came out, we knew we had

137
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: to get to work offensively. We know that we got

138
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: some things that we need to correct. The first thing

139
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: is correct A penalties and and get some consistency in

140
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: our running game, and that's that's been an achilles heels

141
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: for us. Unfortunately, last week we had some A penalties

142
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: that basically were some ten yard A penalties that put

143
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: us in some bad situations, and we worked on eliminating

144
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: those kinds of things and and uh, basically we're going

145
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: to start with some consistency this week, keep keep our

146
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: guys above the sticks, and then be good coach Special

147
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: teams wise, they've been tempting you to return the ball

148
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: and sometimes forcing it to return the ball kicking it

149
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: off inside the five, between the five and the goal line.

150
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: So I know it hasn't always worked out for you,

151
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: but I know that's something you've been focusing on as well.

152
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: We have been focusing on it. We feel like right

153
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: now a return game has probably not been what we

154
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: would like it to be, but we know what we're

155
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: capable of and we spent some extra time this week

156
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Frank and the staff and Sean has done a great

157
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: job of got a good plan for these guys. These

158
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: guys are one of the better special teams in the league.

159
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: You're in and you're out. They've got basically two or

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: three guys on that team that basically that's all they

161
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: do with special teams. They're like specialists there. But we

162
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: feel like this week that we want to be able

163
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: to return to the ball and if they'll allow us

164
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: to return the ball that gives us a chance to

165
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: get a score. And we just got to be more

166
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: consistent this week and we feel like we'll have a

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: good return game. How good is it to be home, Coach?

168
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: It feels great to be back with the Texans fans

169
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: here at home and with the Patriots coming in. What

170
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: a great environment for us to get back on the

171
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: right track. And we're looking so forward to it. Coach,

172
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: like so much good luck, You're welcome, all right, Being Friday,

173
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: last day before the game, last weekday before a game,

174
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: and when that's the case, it's time for the game

175
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: status report. So we've got three i'm sorry, four players

176
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: out of this one, one of them for the Texans,

177
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: while there are three of them, and this is something

178
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: to definitely talk about for the Patriots. For your Texans

179
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: out is Rex Burkhead. He's missed all week. I think

180
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: Coach alluded to that, maybe as early as Monday when

181
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: he met with the media. I know he definitely mentioned

182
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: it on a Wednesday. So Rex Burkhead out of this

183
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: one now. I don't know what that could mean for

184
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: Scottie phil Up, but we'll see Scottie Phillips a full

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: participant all week. In practice as he was dealing with

186
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: an illness. Rex Burkhead out. Two players are questionable. In fact,

187
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: we got an injury report early, then we got an

188
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: updated one probably about an a half hour to forty

189
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: five minutes later, and it was because of Brevin Jordan.

190
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan missed practice, did not participate today because of

191
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: an illness. He is questionable for this game, as is

192
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: Marcus Cannon. No Cannon has not practiced all week. Brevin

193
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: practiced full all week long up until today when he

194
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: was six, so he goes on the list as being questionable.

195
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: Rex out, Marcus Brevin questionable, also questionable, he's Danny A Mandola. However,

196
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: the thought is that Danny should be ready to go

197
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: and watch him at practice. Look, I'm no doctor. I

198
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: know that Mark likes to play doctor on the radio,

199
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: but I'm no doctor. But I'm watching daniy Amidola run

200
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: around at practice and felt pretty good about what he

201
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: was able to do at practice. So that's the Texans

202
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: side of this. Justin Britt Jimmy Mooreland, Scotty Phillips all

203
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: back at practice. So Jay Reid in comic Gruge hill In,

204
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Pierre Lewis was activated. We'll see if he is

205
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: active on game day, but I was glad to see

206
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: him back at practice today the Patriots. Wow. Now, I've

207
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: seen injury reports sort of like this, and I think

208
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: a few of them have come from New England, so

209
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: I kind of get it. That said, keep in mind,

210
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: there were two players that were placed on the COVID

211
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: list earlier this week, I think it was Monday, and

212
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: that was left tackle Isai Win, left guard Michael on

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: Waynu out for the Patriots, tackle Trent Brown, right guard

214
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Shack Mason, and corner rookie Sean Wade. Now, Wade he's

215
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: out dealing with a concussion, but Trent Brown, Shack Mason,

216
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: Isaiah Winn, and Michael on Waynu four of the five

217
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: guys projected to be starters for the Patriots. Two of

218
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: them are definitely out. Two of them on the COVID list.

219
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Don't know if they can get back before the game,

220
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: but if it holds, that means the Patriots would be

221
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: without four or five starters. Now. Yasser Durant played at

222
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: right tackle last week for Trent Brown, but on Way

223
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah Win played the two positions in the offensive line.

224
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: I want to say Ted Carriss was in at guard.

225
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: I think he may have gone in when Shack Mason

226
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: got hurt. So ouch ouch ouch for the Patriots. Now,

227
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: can the Texas take advantage? That's the key. Mark said

228
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: it the other day when Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt, we

229
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: all thought, man, this is in back in twenty sixteen,

230
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: we thought, this is the opportunity. Rookie Jacoby Brissette never

231
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: seen a field. We got an opportunity and they thumped

232
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: us twenty seven nothing, So take other Granny salt. Now

233
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: questionable for the Patriots. Jawan Bentley, Cody Davis, Kyle Dugger,

234
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Nick Folk, Jonathan Jones, Jaylen Mills, Ronnie Perkins, Kyle Vanoy

235
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: all questionable for this one on Sunday. Now, in the past,

236
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was always able to control what happened on

237
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: an offensive line, so I didn't worry about guys missing

238
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. From that perspective, this is Mac

239
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: Jones dealing with four starters not on the offensive line,

240
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: and the Texans have have some dudes that can get

241
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. So we'll see if they can put

242
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: it all together. For the Patriots, A nine and a

243
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: half point favorite. We'll see if that holds as well.

244
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: I hope it does. I hope it does. I hope

245
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: the Texans are criminally underrated for this one. Okay, and last,

246
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: it's certainly not, at least in our first segment. It

247
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: is time for Drew's dozen. I like to bookend Drew's

248
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: dozen and Drew's final word at the end. It's the

249
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: same guy, but we kind of spread it out. We

250
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: talk a little non football and then we talk football.

251
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: I like the symmetry of that. It really works from

252
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: our OCD. So let's hear from Drew Doherty and Whitney Merciless.

253
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: This guy and I we've talked a few times over

254
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: the year. We've even gone to Mexico City together. There's

255
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: not just you and me, but we were on on

256
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: one of the scouting trips before the Texans played in

257
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Mexico City back in twenty sixteen. We went in June

258
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: and tore all around the site. But it's Whitney Merciless.

259
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: It's good to be with you, my friend. And I'm

260
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna steal from Ted Lasso here and I'm do you

261
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: watch t Lasco? I have not I need to, Okay,

262
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: I just watched the first three episodes last night with

263
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: my wife. It's awesome. Literally, i'd heard it was in

264
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: everybody I knew. I just raved about it, and it's

265
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: the real deal and I love it. I think you

266
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: would like it as well. First concert you ever saw,

267
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: best concert you ever saw, first concert I ever saw

268
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: ever in life? Yes, I would say it's not until

269
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: I got down Heroes I watched. I think I went

270
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: to a Drake concert. It's like, really, never was the same.

271
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: I think that's The Devil's the album that he was touring. Yeah,

272
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty cool. Best concert I'd say,

273
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Jake Hole, it would have to be the Ja Cole Gosh,

274
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: what's the album called Born? It was Warren Centers or

275
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: something like that. Okay, I can't remember, but Jacole, definitely

276
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: it was the best. Gotcha never gone to a concert

277
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: until you came to Houston in twenty twelve, or just

278
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: not a music guy, just didn't have the opportunity, based

279
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: never had the opportunity actually fair enough. Yeah, for the record,

280
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: my first concert was a Crystal Gale concert in the eighties.

281
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: That's how old. Yeah, look it up. You'll be a

282
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: laugh even harder, Okay. In the Kitchen with Wit. Now

283
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: you have a storied background as a food lover as

284
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: chef Darnett, you've got a restaurant even but in the

285
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: Kitchen with Wit is a fun competition coming up. What's

286
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: what's the deal behind that? Because you got your buddy

287
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: justin Reid Safety for the Texans involved. How did this?

288
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: I'll come to that, man. So I mean, I'll take

289
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: you through the backstory. So COVID came of course, COVID

290
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: came around, and so with the foundation can't really do

291
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: much because we go out visit kids and when we

292
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: donate for you know, families, to utilize organizations that we

293
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: partner up with their services and stuff like that. We

294
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: love to visit and you know talk to the families

295
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. So I was like, man,

296
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: I love food. I love to cook, So let me

297
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: try doing something for the kids essentially on ig or

298
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: whatever and just making some simple things like and I'll

299
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: the consult with individuals from the organization like uster sales,

300
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: what what would be in somebody's typical pantry. Yeah, just

301
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: taking ingredients from there and to create some things for

302
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: children disabilities and all that. So I was, you know,

303
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: making some I think I made like gosh grilled cheese

304
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: sandwiches or something like that on there, and I think

305
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: that was the moment where it broke the camel's back

306
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: as far as like you know some of yours and

307
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: they were like, oh man, I thought you could cook.

Speaker 1: on the other side of the field. Oh, man, I

388
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 1: thought it was like the coolest thing. It was like,

389
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm on this stage playing against some

390
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: of my favorite players like ted Kin Junior and I

391
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: remember how fast he was in Ohio State and that's

392
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: what I loved. I love the shirt, like I mean

393
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: Payton Manning playing against him, Tom Brady TV. Gosh, I

394
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: would say some of it. Let'm seeing some linebackers out there,

395
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: even like Kush I mean, playing with him on that side,

396
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: you know, terrorizing people, which is just insane. So the

397
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: fun field, I mean, maybe some rookies like myself. Yeah,

398
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: so it was like the coolest thing ever. Just to

399
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,760

403
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: believe I'm here. I can't believe. You know. The funny

404
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: thing is back then, like in high school, I never

405
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: thought about making it to the NFL. Honestly, I was

406
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: just thinking about I got a scholarship so I could

407
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: go to school free, get education and all that, and

408
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: you know, yeah it'd be cool to you, you know,

409
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: get drafted and everything. And so it's so funny that

410
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: you know, in college and one thing led to another,

411
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,320

652
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,520

00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: where you know, they was asked about me and things

654
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,760

655
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,120

658
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: for you. Terrence Money, Mitchell and hopefully one day a

659
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: water Burger spokesperson. I thought that was great. I think

660
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: that they just need to have this guys. I appreciate that.

661
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for being on, Thank you for having me.

662
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that dude is a total ride. I

663
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: said earlier that the Bills did their miked up last week,

664
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: got Josh Allen. So Josh is from California. So after

665
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: the Bills scored a touchdown there, it's Mitchell's run off

666
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: the field and he stops. He looks at Josh and

667
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: he says, and this is all caught on miked up

668
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: because obviously Josh's miked up. He says, where California you from?

669
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: Josh goes Fresno, and he goes, oh, man, I'm sacked down.

670
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: And then they gave themselves, dapped each other up, hugged

671
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: and ran off the field. I was like, that is

672
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 1: such a that is such a FicT Terrence Mitchell moment,

673
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: very very tough afternoon, but Mitch found a way to

674
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: kind of smile through it and get himself ready for

675
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: this game against the New England Patriots. A big test

676
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: against a bunch of big receivers for the New England Patriots. Now,

677
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: how the Texas is gonna get that win? Well, I

678
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: have my Keys of the Game next to give you

679
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: the best path to win over the Patriots right here

00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: at Texas All Access. Hey, we have got a lot

00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: this edition of Texans All Access. I am your host,

692
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst and sideline reporter for your Houston Texans,

693
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: and it's time for my keys to the game. Let's

694
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: crank up my music because I love to have my

695
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: music going. Yes, that just gets me in the mood.

696
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: And if you're wondering, yes, it gets me in the mood.

697
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Patriots one in three. They

698
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: beat the Jets in Week two, but they have lost

699
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins at home, Saints at home, Bucks at home. Wow.

700
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: One in three and they lost all three home games.

701
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: And now they take on the Houston Texas. This is

702
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: the second game this year in the NFL featuring a

703
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: matchup of rookie quarterbacks. The first one was that win

704
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: for the Patriots over the Jets, in which Mac Jones

705
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: took on Zach Wilson. This will be Mac Jones versus

706
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. Let's start with the Texans defense against the

707
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: Patriots offense. He number one, Mac the Knife. That used

708
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: to be a fifty song. I always used to hear

709
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: that Mac the Knife. My best friend in high school

710
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: was named Mac Jones. And when we played a game

711
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: on the road one night, I remember the opposing crowd

712
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: is taunting him with that song Mac the Knife, and

713
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, he only had like two points or something.

714
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: It was weird. Anyways, Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones, the

715
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: Mac the Knife is perfect for him because he's a surgeon.

716
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: He diabolically cuts up defenses. And you could really see

717
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: that against Tampa Bay because his recall in his IQ

718
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: are just incredible and his processing bead is off the charts.

719
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: He completed nineteen straight passes the other night against the

720
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: Buccaneers in the rain outside. Now it's going to be

721
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: a beautiful day inside. He's got his all his receivers

722
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: ready to go. He is going to be very difficult

723
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: to stop. The Texans are going to have to disrupt

724
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: that processing speed in some way, shape or form, And

725
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: what could help there's a little bit of offensive line

726
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: issue for the Patriots. Number two. The Spider Man meme.

727
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: We've all seem the Spider Man meme right whether the

728
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: two Spider Man are like pointing each other to indicate

729
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: for the same thing. While the Patriot run game the

730
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: Texans run game are essentially one and the same right now.

731
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: They combined last week for forty seven yards on twenty

732
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: six carries. Neither one can run the football effectively, but

733
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: the Texans have to ensure that on Sunday and take

734
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: away any threat of the run game that could help

735
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: Mac Jones absolutely without question, and one of the reasons

736
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots haven't run the ball well is to play

737
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: at the left side of their line. Now Isaiah Winn

738
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: and Michael and Wayne who have been good at different

739
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: points in their career, and Wayne who was excellent last year.

740
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: He's the number one rated guard on PF prior to

741
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game, but he didn't play well. He

742
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: got bitched. Then Isaiah Winn and Michael and Wayne who

743
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: got put on COVID. Now I don't know if they'll

744
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: get back for the game. If not, the Texans have

745
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: to obliterate this offensive line absolutely obliterated. And they have

746
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: to do that because the next key is all about

747
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: the tight ends. Back in twenty ten, I think it

748
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: was the Patriots, with Bill O'Brien's offensive coordinator, drafted both

749
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski Aaron Hernandez in the same draft of thought,

750
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: what are they doing with two tight ends? Well, they

751
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: changed the game by putting two athletic guys at tight

752
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: end that didn't have to be on the field for

753
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: just they could be together on the field, but it

754
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: didn't have to be short yardage. They would go twelve

755
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: personnel and they were just as lethal, and twelve personnel

756
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: won back two tight ends as they were in the

757
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: eleven personnel one back one tight end because those guys

758
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: had receiving qualities. Well, that's the same thing they've got

759
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: right now at John Smith and Hunter Henry. Those guys

760
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: are Anna moles. Henry is second on the team in

761
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: receptions the fourteen. They both had touchdowns last week. John

762
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: Smith as thirteen catches. Smith we've seen before Plentyvin the Titans.

763
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: They just tossing the ball as a running back. He

764
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: went sixty one yards in the game against him at

765
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. That we had to have and we were

766
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: dominating the game. He catches that, he goes sixty one yards.

767
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: The Titans scored a few plays later, and he's thought, Wow,

768
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: Smith and Henry could be an absolute problem. And last,

769
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: it's certainly not least the Patriots will try anything. For

770
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: a long time, they would not take the ball out

771
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady's hands to throw it. But then they

772
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: had Julian Edelman, former college quarterback, and he was very good. Well,

773
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: now they've got Jakobe Myers, former high school quarterback, and

774
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: they will let him throw the football. In fact, he

775
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: had two passes on Sunday night against the Bucks and

776
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: he dropped a dime on one of them. When sixteen's

777
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: in the game and he starts going back around like

778
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: a reverse, that's gonna be a pass. Keep your eard.

779
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: Number sixteen, former high school quarterback Jacoby Myers now flip

780
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: it over to the Patriots defense. Number one key is

781
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: a key every single year against the Patriots for as

782
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: long as he's there. And that's Lawrence Guy. Number ninety

783
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: three has been a thorn in the side of the

784
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: Texans no matter what, even when the Texas have won

785
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: the last two games, he is always, always, always a

786
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: massive problem, a massive problem. Lawrence Guy has got to

787
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: be taken care of upfront. Number two big story this

788
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: week was Stefan Gilmore being released traded to the Carolina Panthers.

789
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's happy and that's good, but they

790
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: also have at the other corner potentially best in the league.

791
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson. That dude is competitive, he is tough,

792
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: He's got great ball skills, he is quick, he is physical.

793
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: He's everything you want a corner. Jac Jackson is. Brandy

794
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: Cooks is worth the price of admission for sure. Number

795
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: three key from ninety nine to nine, and that's Matthew

796
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 1: Judeon when he was with the Baltimore Ravens. Matthew jude

797
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: On one number ninety nine. Now he wears number nine

798
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, and he is a monster. The Texas

799
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: have got to find a way to block him effectively,

800
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: even with Lamry Touns on the left side. They might,

801
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: like they did against the Browns a little bit, not

802
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: all the time, not all the time, like Myles Garrett

803
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: want to tell you, but a few times they had

804
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: to chip on Garrett, and they may have to chip

805
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: on Judon to slow him down. The Patriots will bring

806
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: some different stuff to try to get Jude on free

807
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: and that could be an issue. Number four, it's called

808
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: the captain. That's Devin mccordy in all those games starting

809
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: at twenty fifteen. Numbccordy came in the league in twenty

810
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: lev at twenty ten. He's been in a league for

811
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: a wise played twelve years. I started down on the

812
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: sidelines of twenty fourteen. So the first game is twenty fifteen,

813
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: and that is watched mccordy in the middle of the

814
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: field and how he managed, how he navigated the middle

815
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: of the field, how he captained his group in the secondary.

816
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: He's still doing it. And with a rookie quarterback like

817
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: Davis Mills, he can baited him into making a throw.

818
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: I saw it happen with a guy who had started

819
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: in the league and Brock Oswiler in twenty sixteen. He

820
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: just baited brock in and making a throw, then went

821
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: up and picked it in the Thursday night game at

822
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. He can do the same to a rookie

823
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in Davis Mills. So keep an eye. Number thirty

824
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: two Devin mccordy and number five lasted certainly not least,

825
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: but it's been a key for the last three weeks.

826
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: Please please, please, please get Davids Mills comfortable. I don't

827
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: care what it has to be. Good running game, excellent protection,

828
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: quick throws successfully, I don't care. Get him going early

829
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: and get him comfortable. That's the key. All Right, We're

830
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit more about this game with

831
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: my in the Lab part of Drew Dory that's next

832
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: to Texans All Access. We got one hour down, one

833
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: hour left to go on this edition of Texas All Access.

834
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: A Friday Edition, a TG edition. Thank god, it's that.

835
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: You can fill in all the s, but just make

836
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: sure the last one is Football Friday Edition. Football Friday. Oh,

837
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: I guess the last word has to be Friday, but

838
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: you get the point. They got its Friday. Oh my gosh,

839
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: and what a beautiful night it is. Astro's up too.

840
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: Oh as they take down the Chat Socks nine to four?

841
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: Were they? I think it was a sixth inning? They

842
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: just I mean, it was nuts trying to get through

843
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: that order. I sort of felt for the White Sox

844
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: in some regard, but then I kind of didn't because

845
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: I don't like Tony the RUSSA. So that was a

846
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: great day for the Astros, and hopefully Sunday will be

847
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: a great day for your Houston Texans as they take

848
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: on the New England Patriots and one in three New

849
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: England Patriots. So battle of one and three teams, and

850
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: one of those teams that nine and a half point

851
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: favorite over the other one. We'll see how that goes well. Drew,

852
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: Dorty and I did are in the lab thing as

853
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: we are wont to do to talk about this and

854
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: much else. Here we go, Drew and John in the

855
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: lab time. Now we're in the lab with me, Drew

856
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: Doherty and the placid Serene, never ruffled. Just having a

857
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: great day. John Harris, how are you doing, buddy, Having

858
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: a great day. Man. I need to implore all our listeners,

859
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: all the people watching this, to join me and give

860
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: John a big virtual hug. He's having a tough morning

861
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: with Wi Fi connectivity. Oh my gosh. We're gonna soldier

862
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: through it. We're gonna be all right. We're gonna try

863
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: and talk about our Texans. It was a tough one

864
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It was one of those ugly you ain't

865
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: got no alibi games, and that happens. That's all right.

866
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna have one of that. That's not all right,

867
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have those. It's not much fun. As

868
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: an aside, we have a six month old my wife

869
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: and I and her name's Lucy, and so we do

870
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: the l You see why you ain't gotten no alibi.

871
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: You're Lucy. You're Lucy. My kids love that the other

872
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: bit older siblings, and so they sing it out. Anyways,

873
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: let's get ready, let's let's flush that one, and let's

874
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: talk about what's coming to town. In the New England Patriots,

875
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: this is a really weird setup. If you think about it,

876
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: it still seems weird that Tom Brady's not there, even

877
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: though we won there. Last year, you saw Cam Newton.

878
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: Last year you got a rookie quarterback. So on the surface,

879
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: you're like, let's go rookie quarterback. This really rookie quarterbacks

880
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: looked pretty darn good, and it's almost like, how is

881
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: he looking this good? Knowing what's around him and all that.

882
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: But last year you saw Cam Newton. And when you

883
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: think about Cam Newton with the Patriots last season, you

884
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: don't really have too much good to say. But if

885
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: you look at the stat line for him in that game.

886
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: He was really impressive quarterback rating over one hundred, didn't

887
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, had a touchdown pass, and he

888
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: completed I think seventy five percent of his passes. Yet

889
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: the Texans won that game, and they weren't really really

890
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: challenged ultimately, I mean they kind of it was like

891
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: a light challenger at the end. But let's talk about

892
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: what is coming to town with the Mac. What do

893
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: you think about what you've seen from him, and how

894
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: can the Texans exploit or attack what he's done to

895
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 1: maybe get this team and get back in the wind called.

896
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: First of all, it's really really weird because one of

897
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: my best friends in high school his name was Mac Jones,

898
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: and yeah, playing baseball at Baylor, and so we had

899
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: we had a little reunion of our high school you know,

900
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: kind of friends class. We got together about twelve to

901
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: fifteen guys last year, probably as before one of the

902
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: home games. I think it maybe in the indie home game.

903
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: We're all playing golf, and so I wasn't playing because

904
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: I had just had my back surgery. So I was

905
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: just kind of sniping everybody and and I kept joking like, hey, Mack,

906
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,479
Speaker 1: you're going to Heisman, you know, and he of course

907
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: played along with it, and Mac almost won a Heisman,

908
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: the Alabama Mac, not the Baylor and my good friend Mac,

909
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: and he maybe looking back, maybe should out. I don't.

910
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith was really good. But the point being, and

911
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: I think you heard this THREEO from everybody throughout that

912
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: study to Alabama. The one thing that really through the

913
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: draft process that you're not from my perspective, that that

914
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't get a chance to do is to kind

915
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: of sit down with these guys, go up to the

916
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: whiteboard myself and kind of throw them topics or you know,

917
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: listen to them talk ball in some sense. And you know,

918
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: the teams get a chance to do that with scouts

919
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: and personnel and all that kind of stuff. But that

920
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: really was I think one of his um I think

921
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: it is it is his elite trade because it's not

922
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: his arm, it's not his feet, but his mind is

923
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: at a whole different level. And when you think about

924
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 1: the value of coaching, Mac Jones played his high school

925
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: ball at a place called the Bowls School, and I

926
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: know very well. Played for Exell, Florida, played for a

927
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Corky Rogers. He's arguably arguably

928
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: one of the top ten high school coaches that's ever coached.

929
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: He's he's phenomenal and a phenomenal guy, and a phenomenal

930
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: story and hard on his quarterbacks, very hard. And Mac

931
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: learned a lot playing for Corky. I would imagine he

932
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: then went and played for Nick Saban. We known Nick Saban.

933
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: Top of his quarterbacks, he had Steve Sarkisian's offensive coordinator,

934
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: he had Mike Locksley before that. You know, he's had

935
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: great coaching and now all of a sudden he goes

936
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: up to New England. He's got Josh McDaniels and he's

937
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: got Bill Belichick. I mean, you can't have a better

938
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: coaching situation than Mac Jones has had. You throw that

939
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: in there with his confidence, you throw that in there

940
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: with his understanding, his understanding of the game, and you've

941
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: got a guy that understands at an elite level what's

942
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: going on out on a field. Now, does that mean

943
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: it's going to translate all the time. No, Because what

944
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: Mac doesn't have, he doesn't have elite scramble ability. He

945
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have the ability to get out of the pocket

946
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: and do a bunch of things out of the pocket.

947
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: Although he's not a treaty sloth. He is not a

948
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: guy that you can just say, Okay, he's not gonna run.

949
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: He's not Philip Rivers. You know, Philip got into pocket

950
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: and you know Philip ever escaped it. It It was you know,

951
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: you could time with the sun dial. You know, the

952
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: same with Tom Brady. They would get out of the

953
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: pocket and do some things like Tom did the other night,

954
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: but it was so infrequent. But you know, Max a

955
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: decent athlete, but he's not He's not gonna scare you

956
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: like Cam from that perspective. Day. He's not gonna scare

957
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: you like Josh Allen like we saw last week from

958
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: that perspective. But what Mac is gonna do? And I

959
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 1: think a great example of this I didn tell straighter

960
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: on this earlier today and you'll see it on Sunday

961
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: at KPRC game day. The way that he processes and

962
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: how fast he processes, you know, that was even something

963
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: we could see at the Senior Bowl. You could just

964
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: see him kind of going through reads and such and

965
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: seeing it up close, like whoa wow, how did you

966
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: get to that receiver? How did he make that? Particularly?

967
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: How do you know that guy was open? How did

968
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: you know? And then you watch him with the Patriots

969
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: and he has to touchdown throw to Hunter Henry and

970
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: it's like the Henry made an adjustment on the play

971
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: and it didn't matter because Mac checked one side. He

972
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: then checked the second, and then he went to Henry

973
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: and Henry was the third his third option. He hit

974
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: Henry for a touchdown that gave them the lead, and

975
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: he just looks so calm doing it. And I think

976
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: that's what Mac Jones is bringing to that offense, a

977
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,959
Speaker 1: sense of calm, he's under control um And I hope

978
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: that it goes back to the Saints game when he

979
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 1: threw three interceptions, not the game against the Bucks when

980
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: he completed nineteen passes in a row. Yeah, if he's

981
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: processing information the way he did it the last game

982
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: and what you're talking about, if he's he's the good

983
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and that like, that's gonna be good for

984
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: any offense that you're in in the NFL, but that's

985
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: especially perfect and you're perfectly suited for that offense that

986
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: they're running up there. You know, the decision making and whatnot. Ye,

987
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: that's that's interesting. It's also key that you bring up

988
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: that point about, hey, he's probably played for you know,

989
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: you can argue the best NFL coach ever and the

990
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: best college coach ever, and he's done that consecutively. That's

991
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. And I mean, I can't speak to the

992
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: high school guy, but you're clearly high on him and

993
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: know a lot about him, and he's gone, you know,

994
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of in stepping stones to these guys. That's pretty

995
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. You got to think you absorbed quite a bit.

996
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: So what are some keys Texans wise defensively that they

997
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: can do to kind of rattle him? Because one thing

998
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: that I I did like about what I saw in Buffalo.

999
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: You look at forty to nothing, you think, well, yeah,

1000
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: your offense clearly, your offense clearly didn't do anything, and oh,

1001
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: you gave up forty, so your defense must have sucked.

1002
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you can say that about about that.

1003
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean five turnovers, so that means you're probably at

1004
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: a disadvantaged field position wise, and a lot of those

1005
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: and you were, but they got the ball loose. It

1006
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: didn't pop their way. But again, they got the ball loose,

1007
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: and that is gonna pay off. It's gonna happen the

1008
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: balls are gonna bounce your way at some point. I

1009
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: know you can't predict that because you know the oblong

1010
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: ball and points on each end, but you got to

1011
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: think law of average is is gonna come back to you.

1012
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: And it's something that love He's preached. It's something that

1013
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: clearly has been the strength of this defense is getting

1014
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: the ball out and until this weekend they were above water.

1015
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: And when it comes to turnover differential. But what are

1016
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: two things Texans got to do defensively to make this

1017
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: a victory? Well, I think the first thing, you know,

1018
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: we talk about Mac, I'm still even at that point.

1019
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: You still got to try and challenge him with with

1020
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: some different things, and and that doesn't always mean the blitz.

1021
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: I think one thing, especially watching a lot of college

1022
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: football um this year, and I always watched a lot

1023
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: of college football, but I have seen a lot of

1024
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: college football teams they're still bringing It's called sim pressures

1025
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: or creepers, in which you show one look and then

1026
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: some guys come from the back, whereas you know other

1027
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: other times you show a bunch of guys up front

1028
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: and then those guys drop. You know, you see a

1029
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: lot of that kind of stuff and I think you

1030
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: might see some of that from the Texans. You know,

1031
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 1: they did some of that UM, you know years past.

1032
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: You know you'd see Zach Cuttingham and Roger McKinney show

1033
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: and then sometimes they drop, sometimes they start to drop,

1034
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: and then one would rush. Different things. You just have

1035
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: to kind of keep mixed up. But in college football,

1036
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: one of the things that I've seen a lot of

1037
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: UM is rush three, drop eight. And what it's demanding

1038
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: of the college quarterbacks is you got eight guys in

1039
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: coverage and you're like, dang it, how do I how

1040
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: do I stick this ball into a really tight spot.

1041
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: And that's one thing that quarterbacks don't really want to do.

1042
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: They don't want to have to try and throw it

1043
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: into like a two by two square. You know, they

1044
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: want their guy to be in man coverage or you know,

1045
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: they want one less guy clogging it up. Well, when

1046
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: you're rushing three and dropping eight, then there's there's not

1047
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunity to find anything other than your checkdowns.

1048
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: You're saying, hey, take the checkdown and we'll come up

1049
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: and rally up and tackle. Now. Well, love you. I

1050
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't imagine they'll they'll drop eight, But they'll drop seven

1051
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: a decent amount of time. And those guys loves heads

1052
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: on swivels. Yeah, it loves those four upfront trying to

1053
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: get one of them to win one on one. Yeah.

1054
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 1: And and I don't mind because they are winning. Those

1055
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: guys are winning ups up front. They are getting some

1056
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: some wins up there. Now it has to happen probably

1057
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: a little bit quicker, but they are getting to the

1058
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: quarterback with some of that four man rush. But when

1059
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: those seven guys drop, they've got to be active. They

1060
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: can't just be staring at the quarterback. They've got to

1061
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: continue to all right, where's this receiver headed? Where's this guy? Okay,

1062
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: I know this is where my spot I'm supposed to

1063
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: drop on the zone, but I've really got to keep

1064
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: my head on a swivel for what's happening behind me.

1065
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: I can't get high load. I got to make sure

1066
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: I take away the high, I give the low. I

1067
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,959
Speaker 1: can rally up and make a tackle. And I think

1068
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: you know the way that Lovey calls his defense and

1069
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: plays his defense. It just it demands of you to

1070
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: be smart, fast, and a good tackler. And I don't

1071
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: want to say that's not asking a whole lot. It's

1072
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: it's not so if you're that, If you can be

1073
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: smart and making sure that you're getting to your drop

1074
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: point and then you're eyeing the receivers that could get there.

1075
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: The linebackers got to do a better job of this.

1076
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: Christian does a decent job of it and almost came

1077
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: up with a pick last week, and he timed his

1078
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 1: leap a little bit better. But get to your drop point,

1079
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: locate the receivers. And again it is a rookie, so

1080
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't seen everything. Maybe you can bait him into

1081
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: throwing you one, and maybe after he throws you one,

1082
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: maybe his confidence is shaken, maybe throws you a second one,

1083
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he starts thinking about that

1084
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: Saints game that's in his head, and maybe an avalanche

1085
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: comes at that point. If you get an opportunity, if

1086
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to get back there to bruise

1087
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: him up and beat him up a little bit, that's fine.

1088
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna get rid of football. He will get

1089
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: rid of football, and that's where you might need to

1090
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. Hey, he's trying to get rid

1091
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: of one because he knows he's getting pressure and somebody

1092
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: steps in front takes it to the house. I mean,

1093
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 1: that kind of game changing play could end up being

1094
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: a really big deal for this team. This week. You

1095
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 1: could use an avalanche like you had in Week one,

1096
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: because you went from being atop the table turnover to

1097
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: ferential too. Now you're tied for eighteenth basically, and I

1098
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: spent an email to you and deep in um mark.

1099
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: It's kind of like dork thing I do every year,

1100
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 1: but on a weekly basis, I kind of troubles it

1101
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: is appreciated, though. I hope you know that it is

1102
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: well appreciated. Bro. But the Texans are now minus one

1103
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: on the season and turnover deferential because they got I mean,

1104
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 1: then an avalanche go against them last last Sunday in

1105
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: Buffalost and now they're tied for eighteenth. They're one ahead of, however,

1106
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots, so they're minus one on this season. New

1107
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: England is minus two. So hey, keep the mojo working,

1108
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: keep slapping the ball loose when you're on defense, and

1109
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: maybe come up with a pick or two, and you can.

1110
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: You can do good things against this quarterback. No, it's

1111
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 1: interesting you say that. It's interesting you say that Drew

1112
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,479
Speaker 1: about continue to do that. Those two fumbles, Now, Josh

1113
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: Allen fumbling at once, you got it back on a

1114
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: snap exchange. Yeah, but both times the ball came out

1115
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: in the second half, both Desmond King and Terrence Mitchell

1116
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: purpose he punched it out. Yes, they punched out that.

1117
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a technique that they're using, they've learned

1118
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: and they're using and it's really coming to fruition. Unfortunately,

1119
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: on one of those, Meleek Collins going over to the

1120
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,439
Speaker 1: hustle and a tackle kicked the ball and he kicked

1121
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: it right back into the body of a Bills player.

1122
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: But it's not as if the Bills guy just running

1123
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: and you know, took a you know, a tackle and

1124
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: fumbled it. No, these guys are purposely going in and

1125
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: punching it out and having some pretty good reward by

1126
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: getting the ball out. It's a matter of now can

1127
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: you get on one or two of those and kind

1128
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: of flip it and go in the other direction. But

1129
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: you know the thing about you know, talking about mac

1130
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: Jones and this offense, the one thing that this offense

1131
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: really can't do, Drew for the Patriots is run the

1132
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: ball effectively. They ran for I think minus one yard

1133
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: the other night, I mean a minus one yard. I mean,

1134
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: our our run game has been deplorable to watch. It's

1135
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: been awful. They had minus one yard with you know,

1136
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, so I think is a pretty good back

1137
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: in an offensive line that's pretty darn good. So and

1138
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: all honesty, this one might come down to which team

1139
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: can actually do something on the ground and help out

1140
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: its rookie quarterback. Yeah yeah, Texans, Uh, they need to

1141
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: boost there as far as running the football because, like

1142
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: you said, running backs have just not gotten the yardage.

1143
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, they're under three yards of carry, and they've

1144
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: talked about wanting this to be the identity of the

1145
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: team on offense is being able to run the ball,

1146
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just gone down week by week

1147
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: since week one. I love getting an opportunity to do

1148

Speaker 1: our in the Lab podcast with my'm Andrew Dougherty. That's

1149

Speaker 1: my favorite segment all week because hey, I talk for

1172
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: a long time, and I sort of like that because

1173
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: then it keeps my brain from getting in the way.

1174
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: And it's predictions time. It's the most competitive thing that

Speaker 1: I do, and that's what's most important. I love being

1176
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: competitive and I get to compete with myself with my picks.

1177
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: In fact, I walked in. I had lunch today with

1178
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: a friend and walked in his office. Was having lunch

1179
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: with him, and another one of our friends walked in

1180
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: the office and he goes, hey, you're not doing so

1181
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: well in your picks. I'm like, I haven't even made

1182
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: him today. I haven't even made my picks today. I

1183
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,880

01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: my college picks. They'll be ready in the morning. Football

1185
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: takeover dot Com go check him out. I think last

1186
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: night I got all of them, straight up. I don't

1187
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: think I got the Cougs against the spread. I was

1188
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: really upset about that. Cougs look good. Good job for

1189
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: the Houston Cougars. Five and one. Dana getting it done.

1190
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: Love everybody over at University Houston. Chris Pesiman. That's just

1191
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: awesome that they get it done on the road. Two

1192
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: thursdays in a row. Well, wait, what was a Friday.

1193
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: One was a Thursday. So they played Friday at Tulsa.

1194
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: One that smoked Tulsa. Then they went to Tulane and

1195
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,919
Speaker 1: smoked Tulane. Coog's got going on really really fun to watch.

1196
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: But this is about the NFL, and this is about

1197
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: making picks in the NFL straight up and against the spread. Now.

1198
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: I know some people are like, well, that's gambling, John, No,

1199
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: this is just the way that I like to talk

1200
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: about the games. And sometimes there's a baseline needed to

1201
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: talk about the game, like how do we know Jets

1202
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: and Falcons? Like, okay, Jets and Falcons. But if I

1203
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: tell you the Falcons are two and a half point

1204
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,439
Speaker 1: favorites in London, that gives you sort of a frame

1205
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: of reference, like, m okay, let me rock and roll

1206
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: with that. Well, I'm gonna rock and roll with that.

1207
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: But I need my music, my sort of rock and

1208
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: roll music to get us going with my predictions. And

1209
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: we are going to start in London, tallyho, is that

1210
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: something you still say in London? I don't know, but

1211
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: we are going to start in London as the Jets

1212
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: are taking on the Falcon. The Jets got win number

1213
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: one last week, and thank you Zach Wilson and Robert Sala.

1214
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: The Jets knocked off the Titans at home twenty seven

1215
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty four in overtime, Titans an opportunity to kick field gold,

1216
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock pushed it wide left. The Jets won that game.

1217
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: The Falcons, having gotten a win earlier or last or

1218
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: not last week week be four against the Giants, ended

1219
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: up getting getting smacked last week, and so the Falcons

1220
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: fell to one and three as the Jets moved to

1221
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: one and three, and they go to London, and I

1222
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: would imagine Vegas looks at London as a neutral field

1223
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: and they get the Falcons two and a half point edge.

1224
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: I think that's probably about right. I think when a

1225
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: role Falcons here going over to London, it's a tough trip.

1226
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: But I don't think that it's so incredibly tough that

1227
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: a rookie can't go over there and win, especially coming

1228
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: off a game in which you play very well. Gets

1229
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: the Titans. I think the bigger deal here is just

1230
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I think I have a better overall defense

1231
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: in the Titans, but that's just what I perceive from Afar.

1232
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: So I think the Jets will put up some points.

1233
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons will put up more, and I

1234
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: think they will put up more than two and a

1235
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: half above the Jets. So we're gonna with the Falcons

1236
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: to win in London and the Falcons to cover that

1237
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: two and a half. All right, let's come back to

1238
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: the States. That game will be at eight thirty local

1239
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: time here in Houston. I think it's like two thirty

1240
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: over there. I think there's six hours ahead. Yeah, daylight

1241
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: savings time. That throw that math in there. That gets crazy.

1242
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: I know it's just an hour, but either way, that's

1243
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: eight thirty Central time. Jets Falcons. I love that game

1244
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: because we actually watch it in the stadium. Those lunning

1245
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: games are kind of cool because you can sit there

1246
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: and you can watch them in the stadium as they're

1247
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: going on, as you're getting warmed up for the game.

1248
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: So should be a phone one over in London, Jets Falcons.

1249
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan be Zach Wilson of the Jets. This game,

1250
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: I guarantee you when you put it on the schedule,

1251
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: you looked at it and went Packers Bengals is gonna

1252
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: be a blowout. However, both teams are three and one.

1253
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: I think people expect that the Packers would be three

1254
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: and one, but the Bengals three and one. Yeah, spank

1255
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers and beat the Vikings in the opener. They

1256
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars the other nine on Thursday night, so

1257
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: they've had the mini buy and they get a visit

1258
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: from the Packers. But green Bay is a three point

1259
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: favorite in Cincinnati, so the question becomes green Bay on

1260
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: the road. How does that defense look against joy franchise?

1261
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: As cj Uzone wants to call him. I think the

1262
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: Bengals will move the ball against the Packers pretty well,

1263
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: and I think the Bengals defense is a bit under rated.

1264
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,439
Speaker 1: But Trevor Lawrence got what he wanted, especially the first half.

1265
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers is going to take what he wants.

1266
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that three is enough. I think the

1267
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: Packers win this thing thirty eight thirty one. Bengals keep

1268
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: it relatively close, but Rogers we it goes for four

1269
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,439
Speaker 1: hundred large and the Packers moved to four and one

1270
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: and cover that three point spread in Cincinnati. Let's go

1271
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: to Minnesota NFC North NFC North, the Lions and the Vikings,

1272
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: two old rivals. Noon kick Owen four versus one in three.

1273
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota is favored by ten. Now the Minnesota's favored by

1274
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: ten because Minnesota is playing at home. The Lions have

1275
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: played better. They should have won the game against Baltimore.

1276
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean should have won that game, and I think

1277
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: the hangover hit them the following week and so they

1278
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: fell to Owen four. I don't think the Lions get

1279
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: inside the ten. I think this is fourteen. I think

1280
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: this is thirty one seventeen twenty eight, fourteen. I think

1281
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: Vikings win and cover against the Detroit Lions. Let's go

1282
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh, where Ben Roethlisberger not only is in the

1283
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: process of breaking down, he is broken down. The Broncos

1284
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: got broken down last week in Denver. They got absolutely

1285
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: spanked and Teddy Bridgewater got hurt. The Ravens ran and

1286
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: did whatever they wanted to on the Broncos. Broncos fell

1287
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: to three and one in Pittsburgh. Denver's a one point favorite.

1288
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a, as Chris Berman used

1289
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: to say, circle the wagons kind of game for the Steelers,

1290
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: and I think the Steelers, albeit not on the level

1291
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: with the Broncos, but I think this is one of

1292
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: those circle the wagon games for the Steelers. I know

1293
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: Devers favor by one. It's basically a pick him. I

1294
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: think the Broncos are better overall in a neutral field,

1295
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I would probably pick the Broncos, but this is one

1296
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: of those situations where the Steelers have to win them.

1297
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: Going with the Steelers to upset Denver to get the

1298
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: win at Hines Field and move the Steelers to two

1299
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: and three. All the Broncos fall two three and two.

1300
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to Florida, where two Florida teams are playing.

1301
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: In fact, all three teams in Florida are playing in Florida.

1302
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 1: The Dolphins at one in three are going to take

1303
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: on Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay coming off a lackluster performance,

1304
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: but a win, and that's key. I'll win against the

1305
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Patriots last week. The Dolphins coming in at one in

1306
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: three and have struggled. Will Fuller went on IR with

1307
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: a broken finger, broken hand. I mean, that guy just

1308
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 1: can't buy a break. Tampa Bay is favored by ten.

1309
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I love the ten because I

1310
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins will play hard and the Buccaneers aren't

1311
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: completely there yet. Defensively, they're banged up and Mac Jones

1312
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: didn't carve them up. Well, mac Jones did what he

1313
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: wanted to the other night. So I'm gonna go with

1314
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to get inside the Tampa the Buccaneers to

1315
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: come away with the win, Dolphins falling to one and four.

1316
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what I feel good about that or

1317
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: bad about that. And you know exactly what I'm talking about.

1318
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: Last for a different discussion. I think later on Dolphins cover,

1319
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Buccaneers win. Let's go to wellw It's that quite the

1320
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: nation's capital, but you get the point. The Washington football

1321
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: team two and two the New Orleans Saints two and two.

1322
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Vital game right here on both sides. New Orleans is

1323
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: favored by two and a half. I think the most

1324
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 1: mystifying thing to me about this Washington football team is

1325
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: where is the defense? What is his defense doing? Last

1326
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: week they gave up I think it was thirty points

1327
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: they gave up to the Falcons, but Tyler Heineke put

1328
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: up thirty four, and Washington gotta win thirty four thirty

1329
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: at home. Can the Washington football team's defense show up?

1330
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: If it can, I think it wins this thing by

1331
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And you know what, I'm gonna roll the

1332
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: dice on this. I'm rolling the dice with Washington. Even

1333
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: though New Orleans fair by two and a half. I

1334
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: think the Washington football team is gonna get the dub

1335
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: for the dub in the dub. Either way, Washington wins,

1336
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: beats the Saints, covers the two and a half with

1337
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: a minor upset at home over the Saints. The Eagles

1338
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: are taken on the Panthers. Eagles are one in three.

1339
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: I would have thought this spread was gonna be a

1340
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: little bit more. I think Vegas still just doesn't trust

1341
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 1: the Panthers just yet, even though offensively they're putting up points.

1342
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: They are putting up points. They scored twenty four in US,

1343
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: they scored twenty eight in Dallas, they scored twenty seven

1344
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: the week four against the Saints. They're putting up some

1345
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: numbers offensively, and I mean against the Cowboys, the team

1346
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,759
Speaker 1: with a pretty solid defense. The Panthers moved the football

1347
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: and did a lot of really good things. They just

1348
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: couldn't stop anybody, which is weird. That defense has been great,

1349
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: but they were dealing without Justin Burris. Jasey Horn broke

1350
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: his foot and it's out for the year. So then

1351
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: Wayne gots to find Gilmore, but he's on pup he

1352
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: can't play until weeks after Week six, so he can't

1353
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: play in this game. I don't think it matters though.

1354
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles will give him a good fight.

1355
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think the Eagles are going to be

1356
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: able to handle the Panthers. I think the Panthers at home,

1357
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: this is a double digit win. This is a ten

1358
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: point win. I think it's thirty to twenty something in

1359
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: that meant neighborhood. I think Carolina gets all over the Eagles.

1360
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: I think that Panthers defense gets back up atones for

1361
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: last week against the Dallas Cowboys and beats the Eagles.

1362
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Let's go thirty to twenty. That's Carolina with a win.

1363
01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Carolina with a cover. Stay in Florida or go back

1364
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: to Florida because you got Dolphins at Bucks and then

1365
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,600
Speaker 1: you got Jacksonville the home game. Jacksonville coming off a

1366
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 1: mini by wonderful rbant Morrow be at this game anyways.

1367
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: The Titans come to town, the Titans of two and two.

1368
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: The Titans trip all over themselves last week, thankfully up

1369
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: in New Jersey against the New York Jets. The Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets.

1370
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: Titans come in as a four and a half point

1371
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: favorite over and oh and four football team that is

1372
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: an absolute mess because it's almighty and all powerful head

1373
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: coach has decided to act like an absolute chode So

1374
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: Titans Jags. I'm taking the Titans to cover that four

1375
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: and a half and to beat the Jags. It'll be

1376
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: interesting to see how the Jags respond. I don't think

1377
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: this is one of those situations where Jaguar players are

1378
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: just like, you know what, They're just gonna go through

1379
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 1: the most And I don't think it's that. I don't

1380
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: think it's that whatsoever. But I don't think there's a

1381
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: high level of respect paydurban Meyer for all the things

1382
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: that I've gone on since he's gotten there. But I

1383
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: think it's the Titans that will, well no pun intended,

1384
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: run all over the Jaguars. With Derrick Henry returning to

1385
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: his hometown relatively speaking, Yuley, Florida, is just north of Jacksonville,

1386
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: but it's considered the Jacksonville area. In fact, he showed

1387
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: up as his press conference wearing a Yuley Hornets baseball

1388
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: jersey and matching Jordan's. He's awesome. I love Derrick Henry.

1389
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: I hate the fact that he plays for the Titans.

1390
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry will go wild in his hometown against the

1391
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars as he typically does. Titans win. Titans cover. Unfortunately,

1392
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,799
Speaker 1: Patriots and Texans at your last noon game, New England

1393
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: nown eight and app point favorite. Hopefully the Texans will

1394
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: obliterate that spread and get the dub against a team

1395
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: with potentially four offensive linemen out of that game. All right,

1396
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: it's moved to the afternoon, and the first afternoon game

1397
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: is out in Las ve Guess the Khalil Mack ball

1398
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: the Bears and Justin Fields. Finally, I don't know who

1399
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: got to Matt Naggie. I don't know who said something

1400
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: in his ear. I don't know what it was, but

1401
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Matt Nagie went to and lds

1402
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Our quarterback and yalds QB one and yalds our guy,

1403
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: and then this week gets Justin Fields will be our

1404
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: starting quarterback moving forward. I don't know what happened. I

1405
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: know Justin played pretty well against the Lions last week,

1406
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: but the about face has been sort of interesting. So

1407
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: I was glad that the Bears did it and just

1408
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: handed the ball to Justin Fields, but I think this

1409
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be too tough for him against the Las

1410
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. I do think Fields will attack the Raiders

1411
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: down the field. I don't know if the Bears have

1412
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 1: really found themselves defensively. Sean Desai, a disciple of Vic Fangio.

1413
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they gotten all the way there yet. Defensively,

1414
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: I think they keep it relatively close. The Raiders offensively

1415
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 1: potent and will be too much so for the Bear

1416
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: and this one Las Vegas will win and cover that

1417
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: five and a half at home. Great great, great game

1418
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: in LA. I mean great game in La. Baker Mayfield

1419
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns at three and one going to

1420
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: take on the LA Chargers and Justin Herbert three and one.

1421
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: As soon as I get home from the from our

1422
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots, this game is going on to television.

1423
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,639
Speaker 1: I want to see this game badly. These two teams,

1424
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: I just I really like the way they play. I

1425
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,440
Speaker 1: like the players they have. I like these two quarterbacks.

1426
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: I know not everybody loves Baker Mayfield. I like Baker

1427
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: and Justice. Herbert's just destroying the league Chargers favor by two.

1428
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the Chargers to win. The Chargers. You

1429
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to black Miles Garrett. He's starting

1430
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: to find himself a little bit charges of favory boy two.

1431
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers win this and two points is

1432
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: close to even, so we can say the Chargers gonna

1433
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: win and cover over the talented Clevel. When Browns NFC

1434
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,679
Speaker 1: East Battle a great one. Giants taken on to Cowboys, Well,

1435
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 1: it once was great when it was Parcels v. Waite Phillips.

1436
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: Not quite so much anymore, I guess because the Giants

1437
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: aren't very good, although the Giants did get to win

1438
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: on the road last week. Danny dimes through for four

1439
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: or two yards and look really good doing it. The

1440
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Dallas offense is unbelievably good. Dallas is three and one,

1441
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: Dallas is favored by seven. I think Dallas covers that.

1442
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: I think Dallas puts up points whenever it wants. I

1443
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 1: think Jones there's a couple of picks, a lot of yards,

1444
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna matter. Cowboys gonna win this one,

1445
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: like say thirty four seventeen and moved to four and one.

1446
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: I think Cowboys are saulte forty nine. Ers taken on

1447
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: to Cardinals NFC West Battle, and Trey Lance will start

1448
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: for the Niners. So if you're keeping track, Trey Lance

1449
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: is starting he's a rookie. Justin Field is starting, he's

1450
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: a rookie, Davis Mills a rook Mac Jones a rookie,

1451
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence a rookie. Those guys are all starting, and

1452
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: then you've got Zach Wilson, also a rookie. So you've

1453
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: got a lot of rookies starting on Sunday. And Trey

1454
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: Lance has really in all, honestly, with the way the

1455
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals are playing, the Rams are playing at the forty

1456
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: nine ers don't knock off the Cardinals. The Cardinals with

1457
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: the five and oh, forty Niners with the two and three,

1458
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know that the forty nine ers are

1459
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance. And you know what a catch

1460
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals the same must win for the forty

1461
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: nine ers, and they're starting the number three overall pick

1462
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. That is a tough spot to be in.

1463
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: Arizona's favored by five, which means Vegas and quite sure

1464
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: what to do with it. And I think some of

1465
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: that has to do with Trey Lance starting garoppolo practice

1466
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: all week. I am going with the Cardinals in this. However,

1467
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is going to do just enough to get

1468
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: inside that five, so forty nine ers cover, the Cardinals

1469
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: get the win, and then the game I talked about

1470
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 1: earlier Bills three and one, Chiefs two and two, and

1471
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have not played exceptionally well. But the Chiefs

1472
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: got themselves a win last week to get to even

1473
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: getting to two and two, and Kansas City is favored

1474
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: by two and a half. Kansas City went to Philadelphia

1475
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: put forty two up on the board, and that's the

1476
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of offense you expect from Kansas City. They will

1477
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: not put up forty two against the Bills. If the Chiefs, dude,

1478
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: put up forty two against the Bills, it's a long

1479
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: night in Kansas City for the Bills. I don't think

1480
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,759
Speaker 1: that happens. I think the Bills on a neutral field,

1481
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: dry field, all that being the same, I think the

1482
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: Bills are better. But I think Kansas City has to

1483
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: win this one, and I think they will ride that

1484
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 1: to a four point win. This is thirty one twenty seven.

1485
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: Mahomes drives them late in the rain. US get to

1486
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: win thirty one twenty seven over the Bills, and they're

1487
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna get that small cover. And then Monday night, the

1488
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts formerly the Baltimore Colts travel to Baltimore to

1489
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: take on the Baltimore Ravens that were formerly the Cleveland Browns.

1490
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: So if you follow that, it's Colts be Ravens and

1491
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:23,719
Speaker 1: Baltimore's favored by seven. Colts got a win last week,

1492
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: they got on the board. Put them on a board. Yes, yes,

1493
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 1: the Colts did get a win last week. However at

1494
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: the Ravens too tough. I will say this, Baltimore is

1495
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 1: a seven point favorite. I don't like that number. Ravens win,

1496
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: but the Colts keep it close enough to get inside

1497
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: the seven. But I love seeing the Colts fall to

1498
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 1: one and four. That is awesome sauce for that to happen,

1499
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: to get them to one in force. Now it's on

1500
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: the Texas to get to two and three and the

1501
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Titans to get beat by the Jags. That's not gonna

1502
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: happen either way. Colts one and three going to one

1503
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: and four, but they will at least get the cover. Okay,

1504
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 1: we get back. It's Drew Dordy's final word and this

1505
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: week it is with our good friend Whitney Merciless. That's

01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 1: Word and this week it's Whitney Merciless Drew. Before we

1513
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: get into this matchup, does it just feel weird to you?

1514
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,600
Speaker 1: You're facing the Patriots. There is no Tom Brady, and

1515
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: I know you've done that before. You had Cam Newton

1516
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: last year and a few years back it was Jacobe Berset,

1517
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: But doesn't this just seem odd that after all these meetings,

1518
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: all over all these years, he's not around. Yeah, you know,

1519
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: the talk of the town in AFC, but him being gone,

1520
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, as Tom passes, thanks change. Yeah,

1521
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: and so you know, as inevitable as part of the league,

1522
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,679
Speaker 1: beltics still there. They still run some of the same things.

1523
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: He gets them prepared each week to do different different looks,

1524
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: different formational sets, different plays. So we just gotta be

1525
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: tuned into that. And you know, for us, just stop

1526
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: the run on defense, take the ball away, simple things

1527
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, you through four games, you've got three sacks,

1528
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 1: you get four tackles for lush. What's it been like

1529
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: adjusting to this lovey Smith defense for you? Ah? Man,

1530
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know it's supposed it's challenges. Yeah, I

1531
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: would say, you know as far as like you know,

1532
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: playing inside the tight end where you gotta have like

1533
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: a red stuff versus playing out in the nine and

1534
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So it's been challenging. Um. And then

1535
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: also as you when you get a chance to stand up,

1536
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 1: you get to see everything, see the formation, kind of

1537
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: get get an educated guest before and also be able

1538
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: to see the clock before it hits a zero. You know,

1539
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:51,719
Speaker 1: if somebody likes to draw the clock out to about

1540
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: one or oo, you know the ball's coming out regardless.

1541
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 1: You know it's being snapped. So it's just reading my

1542
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 1: keys that are in front of me, not seeing two much,

1543
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: only seeing what I need to see to go out

1544
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: there and go react and just go play make plays.

1545
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: You talk about reading keys in a play, but we're

1546
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna get into Mac Jones. But what are some keys

1547
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: for you when you're facing a rookie quarterback, no matter

1548
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: who it is, whether it's Mac Jones or somebody else.

1549
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: Over the years, it's always been interesting here in what

1550
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: you say and what you guys do and your approach

1551
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: to facing a rookie who's under center. Yeah. One of

1552
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: the things I don't want to underestimate stuff, of course,

1553
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, because some guy like coaches, especially belitary, will

1554
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: get them prepared to play. Yeah. You know a few

1555
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,560
Speaker 1: years back when Jacoby Brissette played and you know, he

1556
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: smacked us, So you know, you gotta give him some respect.

1557
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: And he's got that kid definitely working hard. One of

1558
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: one of the things keys, does he get rattled in

1559
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: the pocket? Also does fan? Does he get affected by pressure? Yeah,

1560
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, what's this composure? Like essentially, how does he

1561
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: handle the offense? Uh? Does he manage the game? Well?

1562
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 1: Things like that? And also it does give up a

1563
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 1: lot of takeaways? Does he give up the ball a lot?

1564
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: Like for example interceptions? Is he forcing that by right

1565
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: and Kenny sit in the pocket and delivering the ball.

1566
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: So we just look at different keys as far as

1567
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: how to get him off the spot and how to

1568
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: get into his mind and stuff like that. All right,

1569
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:10,879
Speaker 1: Whitney will looking at him through four games. What impresses

1570
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: you about Mac Jones. He's actually he's got good composure

1571
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 1: and he goes out there confident each play, runs that

1572
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: offense like he's being coached to do, and he understands

1573
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 1: the entire playbook. He seems very composive as far as

1574
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: reading defenses and stuff and things like that. He makes

1575
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: solid decisions as well to reading his keys, going through

1576
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: his progressions and things of that nature. So he looks

1577
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 1: like a well coach rookie for sure. Shaky week in

1578
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: their offensive line room just based on some guys testing

1579
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: positive for COVID and then other injuries as well. But

1580
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: what does his offensive line look like? I mean? And

1581
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: how much does it look like offensive lines from New

1582
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: England of the past, because there's been some changes there

1583
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: and how they operate or haven't there? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1584
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: most definitely in the past what I've known him. You know,

1585
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 1: they work well together and sometimes you might have a

1586
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,680
Speaker 1: guy who who gets might need it a little bit

1587
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: of help on chips and things like that. Now, as

1588
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: far as the changeups we'll see, you have to see

1589
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 1: who's going to be out there, you know, as far

1590
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: as you know what's going to be the final say

1591
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: on game day or whatnot. So some guys are gonna

1592
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: be playing some different positions where they may not be

1593
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: comfortable at Well, we'll have to by the time we

1594
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:13,760
Speaker 1: get to game day and see what the full roster

1595
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 1: looks like, we'll have an idea. But we're practicing each

1596
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 1: day and sor as if we're gonna go against somebody

1597
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: who's gonna be at the left tackle, you know, several

1598
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 1: different looks as far as different personnel guards, centers, XYC

1599
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: and all that, so they work well together. There's also

1600
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,600
Speaker 1: they I'll also have chips by the tight end and

1601
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: also the backs as well too, to get a system

1602
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: in some help and that would be really prevalent in

1603
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 1: this game. Okay, we've got to see how you're powering

1604
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 1: game day, and we've got to know are are you

1605
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: superstitious in any whale game day? I used to be.

1606
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 1: I used to be not too superstitious. Okay, Well, and

1607
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 1: the only thing is I'd like to get up early,

1608
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: get my day out, you know, to get my morning routine.

1609
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: I pray if if anything so, I'll pray me and

1610
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: my girlfriend will do that before I even step on

1611
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: the field, and then just go out there and go play. Okay,

1612
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: that's pretty mild, you know, just waking up early. There's

1613
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,640
Speaker 1: nothing too wacky about that. You're not You're not like

1614
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: Pedro Serrano from Major League, you know, with Joe Boo

1615
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: and all that. I don't have any favorite socks favorite socks.

1616
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good because sometimes they you know, they

1617
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: get skipped in the laundry or something, at least they

1618
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,640
Speaker 1: do in my house. Is there any particular song or

1619
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,600
Speaker 1: set of songs or type of music you listen to

1620
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: on game day? That's a good question. No, But there's

1621
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: one specific song that I gotta here is the Little

1622
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Wayne Money on my mind. I think that was the

1623
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: Carter two, So I gotta listen to that every time

1624
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: I'll step on the field. Okay, yeah, very good. Good

1625
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: to know. And then finally, what's the go to meal

1626
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 1: for you on game day? Is there one? No, not really.

1627
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 1: I I really don't eat too much. I eat like

1628
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 1: a bird, especially on game day. Yeah. I don't like

1629
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 1: a heavy meal. I don't want to feel light. Okay,

1630
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: so preferably breakfast food. So some eggs, toast, handsome bacon.

1631
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: All right, you eat like a bird before the game,

1632
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: find out what he ravishes after the game, and Drew's dozens,

1633
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a fun one. But Whitney, we

1634
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 1: really do appreciate the time. Best of luck against these

1635
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: Patriots and hope you get a win. I appreciate it

1636
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 1: that man's gonna play a big role in this one.

1637
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: Whitney merciless been getting it done through the past. Rush.

1638
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,640
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of metrics from different sites and

1639
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 1: such that he's been doing a really good job rush

1640
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: to quarterback and we're going to need that on Sunday.
