00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: the buy?

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 2: What are you looking for?

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 5: Our first practice is just a matter of getting guys

30
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 5: back into hearing the calls, getting lined up, just going

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 5: through football again because we've been away for such a

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 5: long time. It's just making sure everybody you know, is

33
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 5: locked in. And we had a really really good day today.

34
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 5: Our guys were locked in, they were on the communications,

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 5: just getting guys back into the flow of football, and

36
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 5: they did a really nice job of handling the bye itself.

37
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 5: Were coming back ready to roll, and they handle practice

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 5: really well today.

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 6: Coach, having played a Monday night game already this year's

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 6: it helped kind of in preparation that everybody knows, okay,

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 6: everything's pushed the day back. Hey, we already did this

42
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 6: already this year. We got to do it again. We

43
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 6: just have to throw in this long flight and it

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 6: kind of help that you've gone through a Monday night

45
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 6: schedule already this year.

46
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 5: It does help for especially for our younger guys, it's

47
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 5: their first time going through it, so it helps them

48
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 5: to see, like what our weekly schedule looks like, and

49
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 5: for us try to keep it as normal as possible.

50
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: So I just moved the week back.

51
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 5: A day and just go through our normal process so

52
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 5: our guys understand. You know, the schedule and how we

53
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 5: work now is just going to be a matter, like

54
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 5: you said, handling a long flight, going out and playing

55
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: at a later start time, and just handling that with

56
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 5: the right mindset that it doesn't matter, right, it doesn't matter.

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 5: We don't control when the ball is kicked off, We

58
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: don't control what day we play. We control how we play.

59
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: We dove into this a little bit last week, but

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: how deep do you dive into what the Texans have

61
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: been doing throughout the first five games of the season,

62
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball and any adjustments you want

63
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: to make overall?

64
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: Coach?

65
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 4: Now? Can I go through it like a three week

66
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: at a time?

67
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 5: I go through a self scout to see where we

68
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: are offensively defensed special teams, and try to make adjustments

69
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: as quick as possible. I try not to let too

70
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 5: much time linger because I want to fix things in

71
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 5: a swift manner. So some people go, you know, at

72
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: the bye we'll do a signal. I feel like that's

73
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 5: a little too late. Like, let's attack it every three

74
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 5: weeks and see where we are, make make the necessary changes,

75
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 5: and you know where we are. What I've done over

76
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 5: the by here really not so much looking at our sales.

77
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 5: But now we because we have the buy, we have

78
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: a short week behind it, So try to look at

79
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 5: San Francisco a little bit to kind of get a

80
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 5: hit start on them, to utilize these extra days we've had.

81
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 6: Sure, coach, you know there's more than anybody because you

82
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 6: were with San Francisco.

83
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: You made this trip up the Seattle.

84
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 6: It's a little shorter trip, but you've been in that stadium,

85
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 6: You've encountered that sideline where you've had to play against them.

86
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say that that's the secret sauce

87
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 6: to it, but does it help that you can, Hey, look,

88
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: when you guys are up there. It's like this because

89
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 6: a lot of our guys are not played up in Seattle.

90
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 6: They're not played in that game. But you've been up there.

91
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 6: How has that kind of helped then helped you in

92
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 6: the preparation that you've been up there for, your coaches

93
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 6: have been up there that go through that to help

94
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 6: the guys kind of get through the Seattle situation, which

95
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 6: is so different to us. Really been up there twice

96
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 6: in this organization's history.

97
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 5: It's different. It's a cool place to play. It's a

98
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 5: really cool environment. I appreciate the fans and how they

99
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 5: handled that environment. Like it's loud, it's it can be

100
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: an issue if you allow it to be an issue.

101
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 5: But my biggest thing is how you handle the crowd noise.

102
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 5: You quiet him by making plays. Quiet them by consistently

103
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 5: staying on the field offensively and sustaining long drives. That's

104
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: how you quiet that crowd. Make taking the ball away

105
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: on defense. So I don't want to I don't want

106
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 5: players to get too enamored with Oh we're going to

107
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 5: Seattle and it's this great place. Let's go play well

108
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: and that'll handle that environment the right way.

109
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: How different is it seeing Sam Darnold as a Seahawk

110
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: versus a Viking as you saw him last year.

111
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same. Sam is the same guy.

112
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 5: What I mean by that is Sam is going to

113
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 5: be a guy who he likes to stand in the

114
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: pocket right and he's gonna throw.

115
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: The ball up whether the guy's are covered or not.

116
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: He's gonna challenge you.

117
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: He's gonna how to fit the ball in the tight windows,

118
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 5: giving us an opportunity to go take the ball away. Now,

119
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 5: it's going to be a matter of us making those

120
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 5: plays when the ball is up in the air. But

121
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: our d line has to do a really nice job

122
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 5: of getting him fluster. We got to be able to

123
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 5: get our hands up bat some of the passes. He

124
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: does have a low trajectory when the ball comes out.

125
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 5: Gotta bat passes. We got to attack the ball on

126
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: the back end. That's how you'll get to Sam Darnold.

127
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 5: And it's been the same throughout his career. He's had

128
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: a great start to this season. They've had an explosive

129
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 5: offense with the play action passing game, throwing the ball deep.

130
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 5: They've had a lot of big plays right, So we

131
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 5: have to limit the big plays and really make them

132
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 5: earn everything that they get. That's about stopping the run,

133
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 5: forcing them to throw the ball short like we do

134
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 5: those things and play tight, play aggressive like feel like

135
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 5: our defense being a really good spot.

136
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: Could you just mentioned some of the strengths of the offense.

137
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 6: Talk about the defense, that defensive line and then get

138
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 6: after it pretty good.

139
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: What are the strengths on the Seahawks defense that you see.

140
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, the defense for the Seattle Man it starts with

141
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 5: their front, really strong players inside. Murphy Leonard Williams read

142
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 5: the really strong defensive tackles inside, and then the edge

143
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 5: is also really good players as well, and woe Sue Lawrence.

144
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 4: You got mafe they are.

145
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: They're deep at the defensive line position and they do

146
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 5: a really great job. I think of playing stout at

147
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 5: the line of scrim is building that wall really making

148
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: you earn every yard you get in the run game.

149
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 5: So it's a tough front once you get past the front.

150
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: That's why I feel like we can have some opportunities there.

151
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 5: Right when it comes to their back end. We got

152
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 5: to be able to put the guys in space, get

153
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 5: the ball out to our playmakers, and see if we

154
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 5: can make some plays there.

155
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the offense has developed an identity here, coach,

156
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: because you see the short passing game, running the ball well,

157
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: I know you want to hit the big play as well.

158
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Mix of everything, really, but it feels like it's been

159
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: evolving as the season has progressed.

160
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 5: Our offense has evolved, and that's why you know, I

161
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 5: like Kaylee and what he's been able to do, just

162
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: being able to go with what works, what are our

163
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: guys do well and finding that out. It kind of

164
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 5: takes time to figure that out as you go throughout

165
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 5: the season, whether the storm a bit, then you feel

166
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: like you have a formula that's worked. Do you feel

167
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: like you have an idea of what guys do well

168
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 5: so you can put them in those positions much better

169
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: now to have successful plays? Is it a do you

170
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 5: want explosive play? Yeah, we want explosive plays, But at

171
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 5: the end of the day, I want to score points.

172
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: However we score points, however long it takes, like in

173
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: a drive to score point and that's all I care

174
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 5: about is can we finish drive with points and now

175
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 5: make their offense have to drive the field on our defense,

176
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 5: which I feel like our defense done a really nice

177
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 5: job of being a strength for our team, and we

178
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 5: got to go out and make people earn it. That's

179
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 5: how to play complimentary football together. And our special teams

180
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 5: they've been outstanding. They can play out to play for

181
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: us each game. So we continue to play together as

182
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 5: a team to win games, not just being about the

183
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 5: offense doing one thing or just leading on the defense,

184
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: but us collectively playing together is our formula for winning games.

185
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 6: Coach, Offensively, it's felt like the last few weeks that

186
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 6: more guys have gotten the football in their hands. You

187
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 6: mentioned it about playmakers getting the ball in their hands.

188
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 6: How much do you think it's helped the offense that

189
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 6: you know, one game it might be these couple of

190
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 6: guys and next week it might be these couple of guys.

191
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 6: I mean, Baltimore felt like everybody got their hands on

192
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 6: the football and the offense probably.

193
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: Played it its best pace.

194
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 6: How important is it that it's not just Nico or

195
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: it's not just Nick Chubb, that it's everybody getting involved

196
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 6: at key times.

197
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's huge for offense.

198
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: Right when you're preparing for offense, if you can't look

199
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 5: out there and just say, hey, oh, we got to

200
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 5: stop one guy and we have their offense handled like,

201
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: that's a problem. Now when you look at our offense,

202
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 5: the ball is being distributed to many different guys and

203
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: many different areas of the field.

204
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 4: So who are you taking away? Right?

205
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 5: So you want to take one guy away. We have

206
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 5: other guys that can make you pay. And that's what

207
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: I love about our offense. That's what I love about

208
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: what CJ has done over the past couple of weeks

209
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: is just whoever is open, get the ball, like it

210
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 5: doesn't matter the name on the back of the jersey

211
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 5: or the number, get the open guy to football and

212
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: we trust that that guy will be able to press forward,

213
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 5: get yards and get in the hand zone.

214
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: Coach, can you talk about the process of we see

215
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: you do these walkthroughs on defense in particular where all right,

216
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: you get a bunch formation, you're gonna go here, You're

217
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: gonna go here, you cover that guy and it's kind

218
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: of slow motion in the walkthrough, if you will, or

219
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: a slower motion. Then you have to take it up

220
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: a notch. What is that like as you coach the

221
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: team to get ready for those situations Throughout.

222
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 5: The coaching process, there's a there's a process in coaching

223
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 5: that I learned. It was you have to put it

224
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 5: on paper, right, You show guys. You put it on paper,

225
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 5: whether that's PowerPoint, handout, You show guys the video and

226
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 5: you show them how you want it done, and you

227
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 5: go out, you walk through it in an individual type setting.

228
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 5: Then you come together in a group setting and you

229
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: walk through it, and then you give the guys what

230
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 5: we call a live practice rep. So you hit those

231
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 5: five phases of teaching. So after that fifth FA, you

232
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 5: hope hopefully it sticks half of those five. But that's

233
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 5: what I learned early on in my coaching career is

234
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 5: how do you make something stick? You go through that

235
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 5: process of what we call a teaching progression. You don't

236
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 5: start with just hey, there's the play run at full speed.

237
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: You start out slow, build up to speed, and then

238
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 5: you get guys that game rep and hopefully they have

239
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 5: it by then and they know what they're doing and

240
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: they can play as fast as possible.

241
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 6: Speaking of playing fast, coach, Seahawks have a fast wide receiver,

242
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 6: very good wide receiver, one of the best in the league.

243
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: In fact, they got a few of them.

244
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 6: But god talking about is Jackson Smith and Jigbub had

245
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 6: a tremendous day against the Jacksonville Jaguars. One, what kind

246
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 6: of problems does he present? Number Two? Do you go

247
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 6: to your code defensive coordinator CJ. Stroud to get any

248
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 6: information from him? Having played with the mental house.

249
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 5: That's a good one there, jsaying has done a man,

250
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: He's done an outstanding job. But just I would say

251
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 5: just running routes at all three levels of the field right,

252
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: whether they're getting them a quick slant, whether it's an

253
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 5: intermediate passes, the deep post.

254
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: He is all over the field.

255
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 5: He aligns everywhere, so everybody it has to be in

256
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: tune with where he is, like what rouse he's running

257
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 5: and we got to play aggressive versus him. We see

258
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 5: a lot of people that have played him right, it

259
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 5: hasn't It hasn't been tight, they haven't finished on the play.

260
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: So we just have to make him work. We know

261
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: he's a great player, We have great players. It is

262
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 5: going to be a very competitive matchup versus our corners

263
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 5: versus him, and I'm excited to see our guys show

264
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 5: up and compete versus But I think the kid is

265
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 5: having a Pro Bowl caliber year. I mean the explosives

266
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 5: that he's made, the big time plays and critical situations.

267
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 5: He's shown up outstanding for those guys, and hopefully CJ

268
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: has a few secrets.

269
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: Lend me coach for your defense totally. When you look

270
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: at the intensity you need to play with. We talk

271
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: about x's and o's and everything, but you need a

272
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: certain level of intensity. Who is it up to to

273
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: make sure they get there on game day? Is that

274
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the players? Is that the coaches? How is that done.

275
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 5: At the intensity piece? Since you know, one thing I

276
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: learned Mark and I was I was man. I used

277
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: to be intent and repped up, pregame hyped up, and

278
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: I'm like, man, you can't waste too much energy, right,

279
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 5: So I had to learn to Okay, it's okay to

280
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 5: be intense, but you got a dollar back a bit,

281
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 5: like when that ball is kicked off, and then when

282
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 5: the play starts, it's like do I want them.

283
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: Intense or do I want them cerebral?

284
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 5: I want them kind of more locked in and just

285
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 5: under control at a good spot to where Okay, I

286
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 5: know this formation, I know the things we studied all week,

287
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 5: so I know where I'm going, and I want guys

288
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 5: too wrapped up so they kind of lose their mind

289
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 5: and then try to And that happens, right, especially playing defense.

290
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 4: It happens. You want to you want to deliver the.

291
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 5: Big hit, you want to go make the big play,

292
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 5: or you you kind of outthink yourself.

293
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: Oh I think they were running.

294
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 5: I thought they were going to run this play, and

295
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: it's something like you just have to really be calm,

296
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: make sure you're in the moment, and make sure you're

297
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: just focused on that small little key, whether it's I'm

298
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 5: key in an offensive lineman, I'm key in a running back,

299
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 5: I'm key in the court. Like I've just make sure

300
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: you see the small things you need to see so

301
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 5: you can see the big picture and put yourself in position.

302
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: How long did it take you as a player to

303
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: have that light go on?

304
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 5: No, it took me at least about five years. I

305
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 5: was I knew I had to be intens this fly

306
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 5: around and my rookie year, I said, I don't that's

307
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 5: a lot going on.

308
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 4: Things are moving fast, Miko.

309
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 5: Just go to the football, Go hunt the football wherever

310
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 5: it is, and go make plays.

311
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 3: Seaball, get ball, all right?

312
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 6: So I was trying to I was thinking all week, like,

313
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 6: how do I ask my tackling question because we're coming

314
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 6: off of a bye. And then it hit me, we're

315
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 6: coming off of a bye, so we've gotten away from

316
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 6: tackling for a little bit. How do you make sure

317
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 6: the tackling coach ends up being at a top notch

318
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 6: against a team like that? Features Kenth Walker, who we

319
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 6: know breaks tackles. Sharbonney breaks a lot of tackles. Arroyo

320
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 6: the tight end, he can break them.

321
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: Two.

322
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 6: How do you make sure the tackling ends up being

323
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 6: pristine on Monday night?

324
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, we start by how we practiced right starting on Thursday.

325
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 5: We got to practice stopping the football. And that goes

326
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 5: to when you're in position, even though we're not practicing

327
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 5: in pads, like, you have to put yourself in position,

328
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 5: and I want to see guys wrapping up the ball carrier.

329
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 4: Stopping.

330
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 5: That's the main thing when you're coming off of buy,

331
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 5: So like you haven't been in that position in a while.

332
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 5: How many times can you put yourself in that position Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

333
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 5: every day? Wanna that'll be the message that's really harping

334
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 5: on making sure we're finishing thuding wrapping guys up.

335
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: All right, So, coming off the buy, did you watch

336
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: any college football?

337
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: Any parts of games?

338
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 4: I did? I saw.

339
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: I saw a few games. I think the one was

340
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 5: the Alburn Georgia game. It was, oh man, you talk

341
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 5: about a swing in momentum. I was watching that game.

342
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 5: Alburn's going down there at the one yard line to score,

343
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: and again it's all about the football and all these games. Right,

344
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: Georgia knocks the ball out. The kid had great technique

345
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 5: punching in football. They get it. Georgia dry is down

346
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 5: to score. The momentum shifts, and Georgia ends up winning

347
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 5: that football game.

348
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: So there's such a thing as momentum. We're not making

349
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: that observed.

350
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: It's showing it.

351
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 5: As a fan, I feel like it is when I'm coaching.

352
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 5: I don't feel like but therey I mean, I felt

353
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 5: that you can just feel the energy just shift. Auburn

354
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 5: had penalty after penalty and I can just see the

355
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 5: energy bend as.

356
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Saying, who do you root for a game like that?

357
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: Coach, I'm not rooting for any I'm just watching ball.

358
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 4: Definitely not rooting for it.

359
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 6: But you can learn something from the game. We learned

360
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 6: obviously ball ball plays. We also learned that you can

361
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 6: clap like this.

362
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah you can clear, you can class I.

363
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: Missed that one.

364
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: Smart says you always just clapping classic.

365
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, the the goal line situation Alabama gets win.

366
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: Did you get a chance to see that?

367
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: By the way, they.

368
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 6: Keep getting their offensive lineman involved, which is pretty funny.

369
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 5: Well, it's pretty excited what they're doing. Coach the Boris

370
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: has turned it around. You know he was you know,

371
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: he's just weathering that storm. That's another thing you learn.

372
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: Like Alabama, they lose the Florida State and it's oh, their.

373
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: Season is over.

374
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 5: But what I've seen from Alabama is they've got him

375
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 5: better as the season has growing on. That's what you

376
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 5: want to do. So I'm happy with those guys and

377
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: what they've done. They pulled off a good one versus Missouri.

378
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 6: And handling the noise too. At a place like Alabama,

379
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 6: I'm sure you had to go through that. We talk

380
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: about that. We talked about that throughout this year when

381
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 6: we were owing three. Hey, block out the noise. When

382
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 6: you go to Alabama, that's a place where you better

383
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 6: figure it out or you're gonna end up not going

384
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 6: to a bowl game, not playing.

385
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 5: National champion, and that can't happen. You better get to

386
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 5: a bowl game. And those guys, they have good players,

387
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 5: good coaching staff. They've done a really nice job. I

388
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 5: love the way that they're playing, especially defensively. They're flying

389
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 5: around making plays. Quarterback is settling in. He's making plays

390
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 5: with them as well. So they had a good team.

391
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 6: We normally play on Sunday. Obviously we're playing Monday this week.

392
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 6: I know for me when I sit there on Sunday

393
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 6: and i have all the pregame shows on, and I'm like,

394
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 6: I go through this over every fifteen minutes.

395
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: I should be somewhere. I'm supposed to be somewhere.

396
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 6: Is it weird on a Sunday to not be where

397
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 6: your typically are on a fall afternoon, I supposed to

398
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 6: be at Energy Stadium, supposed to be at a football game,

399
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 6: and yet you're not.

400
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: Is it kind of a disconcerting feeling? At any point?

401
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 4: Coach, it was actually a good feeling not having to

402
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: be anywhere.

403
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: So we were able to go to church on Sunday,

404
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 5: then after church to get some lunch, and then to

405
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 5: be able to sit back and just watch football.

406
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: I'm like, uh, you know what.

407
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: That's enough, and kids, let's go to the let's go

408
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 5: run around at the park and.

409
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 4: Have some fun.

410
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Coach, you weren't taking the bait in your press

411
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: conference about oh, it's wide open in the.

412
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: NFL and some teams are losing here and winning there.

413
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: Because it is a week to week thing, right, you

414
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: have to build every week as a season.

415
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

416
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 5: And now I know, you know, it's a lot of shows.

417
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 5: There's a lot of media outlets to talk about the NFL,

418
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 5: and rightfully, so it's exciting.

419
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 4: I love to love to see it.

420
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 5: I love our with our game, how our game has grown, right,

421
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 5: and so much attention is is about our game. But

422
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: I also understand the realness of it. It's like everybody

423
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 5: gets caught up in the start of the season and oh,

424
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 5: this team is going to go all the way because

425
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 5: they won three or four. Well, we're talking about five

426
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 5: six games in, right, and we know the season doesn't

427
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 5: end right now.

428
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: We have a long season.

429
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: A lot a lot of things change throughout the season, right,

430
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 5: Some teams fall off, some teams get better.

431
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: Like there are a lot of ebbs and flows of

432
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 4: a season.

433
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 5: So for me, you know, and going through it, I

434
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 5: don't know, it's almost twenty years now, seeing so many

435
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 5: different things happen in seasons.

436
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 4: I just know you stayed the course. You truly control

437
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 4: what you control.

438
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 5: And I told our guys that you just focus on

439
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 5: how you can prepare throughout this week. The results will

440
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 5: take care of themselves. Don't worry about what the other

441
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 5: teams in the division are doing.

442
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: Because it's easy to oh, oh they need to lose.

443
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 5: I hope that you can't control that, and you just

444
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 5: drive yourself insane thinking about what the other teams are

445
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 5: doing in your division. You just keep plugging away, you

446
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 5: keep working, You keep chopping with keep chopping, keep chopping,

447
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 5: keep sharpening your acts, and you will be where you

448
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 5: need to be right if you do the things necessary

449
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: to put yourself in a position.

450
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: All right, this one thrown at me. Amji Bank asked

451
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: coach question of the week. What's the best way to

452
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: get into coaching, to becoming a coach, whether it be

453
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: pro or college?

454
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: What thoughts do you have on that subjects?

455
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 5: That's a great one. The best advice I have is,

456
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 5: like most guys who who coached, they probably played somewhere.

457
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: So the advice I received was, as soon as you're

458
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 5: done playing, like you get in with the coaches that

459
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 5: they know you as a player. So if it's on

460
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 5: the college level, wherever you finish, whatever that particular school is,

461
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 5: I would encourage guys to go and become a grad

462
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 5: assistant at your particular school. You know the air, you

463
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 5: know the team, so it's easier to get involved that way.

464
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 5: On the NFL level, the same if guys want to coach,

465
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 5: I would encourage them to go back to their former

466
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 5: teams and try to get ahead. Start there and coaching

467
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 5: at the entry level. But to get into coaching, you

468
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 5: really you have to humble yourself.

469
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 4: That's what I had to do.

470
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 5: I thought I was just gonna go out, Hey, I

471
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 5: can come coaching linebackers, Kyle, can I come?

472
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 4: And as it's like, you don't know what you don't know?

473
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: I had to humble myself and I really had to

474
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 5: start from the ground level. And what I'm most thankful

475
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 5: for is Kyle give me the opportunity to start as

476
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: a quality control in a tiny little office. Hearing it

477
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 5: with another person, you really truly see, do you really

478
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: enjoy coaching? Do you really love the grind of coaching?

479
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 5: And some guys like it, some guys don't, But I

480
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 5: really I fell in love with, you know, not only

481
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 5: the process of coaching, but the learning process, and feel

482
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: in love with being able to help players.

483
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: And that's why I still do it today.

484
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 6: Coach with your coaching staff and hiring coaches. I thought

485
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 6: about this from a player perspective, but I'll ask it

486
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 6: from a coach's perspective, since we're here, what's an absolute

487
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 6: non negotiable for your coaches to have, Like if this

488
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: guy has this, there's no way I would ever have

489
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 6: a man or woman I would ever hire that person.

490
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 3: What is it non negotiable?

491
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 6: Like this has got to be absolutely true or I

492
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 6: can't hire that person.

493
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 4: Ooh, that's a good one.

494
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 5: I think it starts with me with the character of

495
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 5: the person, and that's a none to go Like, you

496
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 5: have to have be a I say, man or woman

497
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: of upstanding character, right, and that goes by what you've

498
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 5: done in the past. So talking to people who you've

499
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 5: worked with before, like me, doing that research, doing that

500
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 5: background to see what type of person you were.

501
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 4: The coaching is the coaching.

502
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: We can help you, hopefully get better at coaching, but

503
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 5: can't change the character of a person. So we want

504
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 5: to start there. And that's the same with anybody really

505
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: in the building, if I had to say in it,

506
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 5: whether it's player or coach or staff, want to make

507
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 5: sure you're upstanding personal good morals.

508
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: Is it weird to coach against Gary Kubiak's son, course.

509
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: It is weird.

510
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 5: I wonder if Gary's gonna send me Gary, if you're watching.

511
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: Do I get an encouraging message this week?

512
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about that.

513
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe not who you going for? Gary, let me know.

514
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: Thank you guys that had so much fun to visit

515
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: with Demico, Ryans and Winner. He's the same guy, and

516
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: I think that's so important keeping that level headedness. Coming up,

517
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: John Harris and I we talk about a number of things,

518
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: the Titans situation, the games last night, the Texans situation.

519
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: It's all happening here on Texans Radio. Right back into

520
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,239
Speaker 1: the mix here on Texans Radio and the hun Day

521
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Texans Radio Studio. Mark Vandermere and John Harris with you

522
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: as we discussed many things going on involving your favorite team,

523
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: which plays Monday night. Johnny, we're finally in game week.

524
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: Oh finally, there been forever. It's Game week Monday, So

525
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: we're finally here in game week and we'll have the

526
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: Texans and the Seahawks Monday at nine live right here

527
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: and on the Odyssey app and on the Bowl one

528
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: hundred point three FM, and on countless affiliates all over

529
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: the Lone Star.

530
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: State and beyond.

531
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: But let's get to some items involving the Texans to

532
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: a degree. The Titans searching for a head coach, and

533
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: I say searching because I guess it starts now. But

534
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do. They're gonna monitor the coordinators

535
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: that might doing well out there. They're going to explore

536
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: who knows what. I even saw this Jeff Fisher highlight reel.

537
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: Come on, do it?

538
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 4: Do it?

539
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: I thought, really, I saw the same thing.

540
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: I just cracked up. It's like, yeah, do it, do it?

541
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 3: Get Jeff Fisher.

542
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: That would be awesome, that would be it would be

543
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: a good job if they had a better roster. I

544
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: think it's still you know, it's an NFL job. You

545
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: have cam Ward he might be very good at some point.

546
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: He hasn't looked great so far. Maybe that is coaching,

547
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: Maybe it's other stuff as well. He's a rookie and

548
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: just a few games into his career with a dysfunctional situation.

549
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: But your thoughts on that opening, How attractive can it be?

550
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 6: I think it's attractive. But I think they've got I

551
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 6: don't know the right way of saying this.

552
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: Mark.

553
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 6: But when they had John Robinson and Mike Rabel working together,

554
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 6: they were working together. Then she fired Robinson Brabel. Yeah,

555
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 6: so then she brings in Ran Carthon. He battles basically

556
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 6: with Rabel. Vrabel loses, Carthon stays, Rabel's gone, Callahan's brought

557
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 6: in to work with Carthon, then Carthon is gone. Then

558
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 6: Brinker and Borganzi are brought in to work with Callahan.

559
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: Then Callahan's gone. Yeah, so we're following.

560
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 6: It's I'm not and again, after what the Texans did

561
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 6: for so long, you try to find the right fit

562
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 6: with general manager and head coach, and it ended up

563
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 6: where you had Demiko Ryans who you know from Neptune

564
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 6: and Nickosario from Mars.

565
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: Bring them together.

566
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 6: They're great and they're great together that and they they

567
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 6: had no connection to one another.

568
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: They just put the two of them together.

569
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 6: Good people, and they're good people, and they understand the

570
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 6: power dynamic, if you will. I feel like in Tennessee

571
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 6: it's been nothing but elbowing each other out of the

572
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 6: way to get to I'm in power now, and then it's,

573
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 6: you know, king of the mountain for a minute, and

574
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 6: then you get knocked off and then it's like I'm next,

575
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 6: I'm the king of the mountain. It's like eight and

576
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 6: not being in that building that's just what it seems like.

577
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: From afar right.

578
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: I'll go back to this though, John Robinson he never

579
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: had a losing.

580
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 2: Season there, that's right.

581
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: He had two winning seasons with Mike Malarkey before Rabel

582
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: got there. They had the guts, I guess, to fire

583
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: Mallarkey while he was winning, I mean barely winning, but winning.

584
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: They won a playoff game in Kansas City with Alex

585
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: Smith and his last year as a starter there.

586
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 2: So they did that.

587
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: They bring in Vrabel, they still win, and I know

588
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: people can point out mistakes that Robinson made and trading

589
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: aj Brown probably not the best thing to do in

590
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: all of that, But guess what they were winning and

591
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: winning is nice. Guess what they're doing now losing? Horror right,

592
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: they have four wins in the last two years combined.

593
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: It's awful and sometimes you have it better than you

594
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: think when you make these moves.

595
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: That's exactly right now.

596
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 6: I'm not sitting here telling you Brian Callahanish just stayed no.

597
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 3: I think there were some things. To me.

598
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 6: What ends up happening A couple of things. If you're

599
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 6: the owner of a team, if you're just getting your

600
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 6: you know what beat every week you you start looking at, Okay,

601
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 6: what's our talent level compared to everybody else.

602
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 3: Okay, you look at that.

603
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 6: Where coaches get in a lot of trouble is when

604
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 6: this so called simple things or the things that you

605
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 6: don't expect the coach to struggle with start happening. Callahan

606
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 6: didn't know the rules of one elbow down equal two feet,

607
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 6: so he didn't replay a potential catch.

608
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: That's terrible against the Denver Broncos.

609
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: That's awful.

610
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: Then in the locker room.

611
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 6: Against against Las Vegas after the game, Jeffrey Simmons says,

612
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 6: we had our worst.

613
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: Week of practice. That was damning.

614
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 6: Once you hit those levels, once it's we're not practicing, well,

615
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 6: we're thissfunctional. Oh then there's of course the defunct dysfunction

616
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 6: on the sideline against the Colts where you can't figure

617
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 6: out the time management and what he want wants to do.

618
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 6: So when a team, to me is going south, you

619
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 6: look at those things.

620
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: How is what's player morale?

621
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 6: Do you know the rules of the game, do you

622
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 6: know how to function as a game manager throughout? And

623
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 6: that seemingly was not working in his favor, And then

624
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 6: you had the players saying and a player saying was

625
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 6: the worst week of practice they had had. Then they

626
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 6: follow it up by going out to Las Vegas losing

627
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 6: to Las Vegas team that I don't think is exceptionally good,

628
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 6: especially without Brock Bauers. So you add all that up, Okay,

629
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 6: you have to make that particular move.

630
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: You absolutely you have to.

631
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 6: And when teams are struggling, that a lot of times

632
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 6: comes to the forefront. Oh, not managing the clock well,

633
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 6: not managing the halves end of games well, not practicing well.

634
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 7: Now, not practicing well can happen to all kinds of teams.

635
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 7: It can happen to be tap to Texans. There have

636
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 7: been times, and I think somebody said it, they didn't

637
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 7: practice exceptionally well or they have their best practices for a.

638
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: Game and they ended up losing.

639
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 6: And it's like, okay, well, you got enough players, you

640
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 6: got enough leaders, you got good coaches.

641
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 2: Let's not let that happen again. And and it hasn't.

642
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 6: And I think that to me when you're when you're

643
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 6: head coach and you've lost those sort of things you

644
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 6: know in the NFL in particular, that it's it's kind

645
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 6: of a death no for you.

646
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: Now college it's a little different.

647
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 6: I mean, now you've got a power dynamic that you

648
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 6: have to deal with that is very nebulous. Who's in charge,

649
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 6: who's calling the shots? President ad Boosters right like, are

650
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 6: you're looking around going I don't, I don't, I don't know.

651
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 6: But you still can't make those those same mistakes. And

652
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 6: especially in college, you better win the game because the

653
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 6: talent discrepancy is so different in college. You better win

654
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 6: the games you're you're favorite to win. You better go out,

655
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 6: whether you win them twenty one to twenty or win

656
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 6: it eighty one to three. You better go and win

657
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 6: the games you're supposed to win. Stop doing that, then

658
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 6: you're in a lot of trouble. And that's obviously what

659
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: happened to Jays Franklin.

660
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so they had an interesting exercise on the Morning

661
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: show today.

662
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: I think it was Luke and Seth today.

663
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: But Seth put it this way, who do you not

664
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: want to see get the job?

665
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: It's see Kyle Shanahan. Well, Kyle Shanahan's in San Francisco.

666
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 6: I understand you just asked me who I didn't want

667
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 6: to see there. I just I'm ruling him out. Look,

668
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 6: that's why I want to see.

669
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: This is not Penn State trying to get Marcus Freeman

670
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: from Notre Dame. This is not that. This is the NFL.

671
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: We don't do that kind of thing. I mean, we

672
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: don't do that kind of thing. We don't do that

673
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But you asked me who anyone is.

674
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it was rude, and it happened before with

675
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: a few other coaches. But the point is this somebody

676
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: who might be available to them. You know, like Mike McCarthy,

677
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: he's won a lot of games in this league.

678
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 6: He couldn't I wouldn't worry about that. I wouldn't worry

679
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 6: about it either.

680
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: But maybe we're not being fair to Mike McCarthy sometimes

681
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: because Mike McCarthy gets a lot of grief and you

682
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: and I ran by the numbers. Compare him to Sean

683
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Payton and Mike Tomlin, and it's very similar. They all

684
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: won one Super they all won a lot of games,

685
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: And he won a bunch of games in Dallas.

686
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: He had three twelve win seasons in a row.

687
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 6: And I guess but when McCarthy took over the Packers,

688
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 6: the roster was already ready made. Yeah, when he took

689
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 6: over the Cowboys, the roster was already ready made.

690
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: This is not ready made.

691
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: So you need somebody who can grow the program, so

692
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: to speak, and.

693
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: Yek with that.

694
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 6: GM would be perfect, you know, it would be perfect

695
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 6: for the Tennessee Titans. Mike Rabel, Yeah, I think he's

696
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 6: coaching somewhere now though.

697
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's somewhere else.

698
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: You would be really good for the Titans, really really good.

699
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 6: Who Demiko Ryants. Yeah, he's thankful he's got a job

700
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 6: somewhere else. We're not going to do that after that.

701
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 6: I don't know that there's really you know, I look

702
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 6: at anybody I've Joe Brady was the name I heard

703
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 6: this morning. I'm like watching the Bills offense, I'm like, hey,

704
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 6: I don't know, I'm not sure that that would be

705
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 6: I would be scared of that.

706
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: You know, again, we always look at that.

707
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: We look at the coordinators and how they do, and

708
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: I get it that's a common theme. But sometimes maybe

709
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: you have to look at a John Harbought type who's

710
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: a great lead and look, I want the Titans to

711
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: make the wrong move here, Johnny, so I'll recommend all

712
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: the wrong candidates for them.

713
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you who would be an absolutely tremendous fit. Now,

714
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 6: you know, I don't want him to take to take

715
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 6: the job. But along those lines with John Harbaugh.

716
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Frank Ross, don't say it, don't speak not to being.

717
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: But isn't that what Tennessee needs?

718
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 6: No, they need somebody, doesn't Tennessee need somebody with that juice?

719
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: Smart, intelligent.

720
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: You gotta see if he got respect from the players,

721
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: if he got a job, he's got to hire the

722
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: right coordinators, clearly, and you have to be able to delegate, and.

723
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 3: Aled trust him to do that. Hell yeah I would, Yeah,

724
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: I would trust him.

725
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 6: But if I'm Frank, I don't take it because I

726
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 6: don't know the power dynamic. I don't know my dealing

727
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 6: with Borganzi or Brinker.

728
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 4: Or or or what.

729
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: Don't let it happen. See now, he'll be no good

730
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: at it, Tennessee. He'll be no good.

731
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: She might be listening right now. She lives there, No

732
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: no bad idea.

733
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: You know who's going to get another look? Who is

734
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: going to get another look at some point?

735
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 6: And the way the offense is playing week in week

736
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 6: out can better and better.

737
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: Matt Naggy, I don't know if he gets to look

738
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: in Tennessee.

739
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 6: But I got a feeling that Matt Naggy learned how

740
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 6: the whole Chicago thing went.

741
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: It didn't go extremely well. What lessons did he learn

742
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: from that?

743
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: He went to the playoffs with them. Trubisky was the quarterback, yes.

744
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 3: But in whatever way happens, he it didn't work.

745
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 6: So then he goes back home, basically to Kansas City,

746
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 6: and look, he's taking the Chiefs with what they've had

747
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 6: offensively and started to get them turned around.

748
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: I just think Matt Naggy's gonna get another opportunity.

749
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm okay with a second chance guy. You know who

750
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: is the second chance guy is doing really well right now.

751
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles second chance, absolutely really well. Great call, and

752
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. I liked that for him,

753
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: And there have been other guys over the years who

754
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: deserved one and never got another one. Okay, let's move

755
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: on Monday night double header last night, all right? A

756
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: couple of thoughts in no particular order. This double header

757
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: thing on Monday night football, and we've got one next week.

758
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: It's a true double header, this true double This was

759
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: a staggered start double header. I don't know what you

760
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: called this a staggered start double header, I suppose because

761
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 1: they don't start, you start one an hour earlier, and

762
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm watching both of them, kind of. They

763
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: absolutely I don't have the numbers in front of me,

764
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: but baseball, I guess there's no other night to play.

765
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: But you start your lcs's and you have to deal

766
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: with this onslaught of NFL football on better channels than yours.

767
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: You're on ESPN and on ABC, and last night, you know,

768
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: as the evening progressed TBS, I'm thinking you're getting killed

769
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: here just on the basis of that alone, never mind

770
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: how much people might enjoy the sport or how tight

771
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: the games are. I mean, that's just awful right there

772
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: for Major League Baseball. And that's not the only reason

773
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: why they'll do it. It's just compelling, you know. Again, Monday night,

774
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: I got two things going on, and they were both

775
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: pretty good. A lot of great storylines in each game,

776
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: and the games were close, and the Bills not quite

777
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: down to the wire. They had to score and get

778
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: the on side and everything like that at the end,

779
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: but it was still very watchable. And then that tip

780
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: pick ended the threat for the Buffalo Bills. But that's

781
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: the entertainment aspect of it all. The other aspect is

782
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: this strength of schedule. And the Bills four and oh, Okay,

783
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: they're a good team, but they were down big to

784
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens opening Day. They come back, they win

785
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: the game, the rest of it, eh, and then they

786
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: lose to the Patriots. Last week they lose to the Falcons,

787
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: and now they have a bye, and it's four and

788
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: two and they are a feel bad four and two,

789
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: and the Texans are actually a pretty much feel good

790
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: two and three right now.

791
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes Monday night.

792
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 6: Somebody seemingly said about the Bills before the season started.

793
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: But I don't think they're very good.

794
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: You said that, I said, you warned everybody said the

795
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: Bills aren't as great. Not that you're saying they're bad, no,

796
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: but they're not as great as everyone would think.

797
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 4: And Hope.

798
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 3: Four and oh yes, I just said.

799
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 6: I'm like, the defense just is not very good, leaky,

800
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 6: and it's gotten worse. Yeah, So I just feel like

801
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 6: they've got major issues there. Do you know what I

802
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 6: hate about this? Many things?

803
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: The Patriots, Yes, that part of it is are just

804
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: sitting in the driver are.

805
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: Six games in Rabels in first place.

806
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: I know it's too early to say the driver's seat here,

807
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: but they if it's a race, you know they got

808
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: the lead right now, and you have a long way

809
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: to go. You have eleven games to go. But still

810
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't like the Patriots. We cannot let this happen,

811
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots gaining power again. This is like allowing Germany

812
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: to gain power too soon after World War Two.

813
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 6: The Patriots cannot gain power. It would have been the

814
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 6: German War, says the Vietnam War.

815
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: The evil Empire cannot resurface in this form anytime soon.

816
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you. So I have thoroughly enjoyed

817
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 6: these baseball playoffs. I came home from the high school game.

818
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 6: I went through Friday night and caught the last three

819
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 6: innings that fifteen game, and the Tigers and the.

820
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 3: Marrors, et cetera.

821
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 6: So when the Asters aren't playing the team, I'm going

822
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 6: to refers to Brewers. That's where I was born, where

823
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 6: my parents live. They're staunch Brewers fans.

824
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: Mark.

825
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 2: I forgot they weren't playing WHOA, I forgot they were.

826
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 6: Even playing because they were so dialed into Monday night football.

827
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: In two games on Monday night football.

828
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 6: I forgot that they were playing, and I feel bad

829
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 6: for that, but I'm like, I'm gonna watch football. Yeah,

830
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 6: and I when football is up against baseball. As much

831
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 6: as I love baseball and almost played baseball in college

832
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 6: and love the sport, my dad and I both coached it,

833
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 6: that's on.

834
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: Football's on. That's that's what I'm watching. Wait, where were

835
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 2: you gonna play football? Air Force Academy.

836
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 6: Oh, that's right, I remember that. That's play at the

837
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 6: Air Force Academy. People might know the name Pete Manieri,

838
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 6: who in Minari, who ended up being the pulmonary sorry,

839
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 6: who ended up being the LSU baseball coach, one of

840
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 6: the LSU baseball coach in one NAS championship. He was

841
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 6: the head coach at Air Force Academy at the time,

842
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 6: and it was recruiting me and my buddy to go there.

843
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 6: And I wanted to play football though, and I knew

844
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 6: I could play at Air Force Academy, so I ended

845
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 6: up going the complete opposite end of the spectrum, going

846
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 6: to Brown And I believe, but but I love the

847
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 6: sport of baseball. I've I've loved watching these these playoffs.

848
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 6: They've made incredible but last.

849
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: Night Buried just lost Buried.

850
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 6: But I couldn't find it. Wasn't worried about it until

851
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 6: I got in there. I was watching on in Football

852
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 6: and I see the scroll flashing a baseball score.

853
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, what that. Oh, yeah, the Brewers are playing

854
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 3: in LCS.

855
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's it's unfortunate that at this time of

856
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 6: year you have to go up against the reality show

857
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 6: that is the NFL. But that's that's basically what you're doing.

858
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 6: It's like you're trying to have this brand new reality

859
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 6: show and it's going up against Her Housewives.

860
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't always like this. The NFL was always big.

861
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking, all right, here are the Blue Jays.

862
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Joe Carter. You know, they played some great series.

863
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking those Minnesota Lanta series. Those were so good.

864
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: And that's not even big brand, big market teams, but

865
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: those were great series that got a lot of attention.

866
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: I know the TV landscape has changed, so don't and

867
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: that's I think.

868
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 6: A big part of it, Mark is that baseball will

869
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 6: not play during the day anymore. If they had have

870
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 6: played Monday Day, they had had a much bigger audience,

871
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 6: a much better on it.

872
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 3: I know it's during to day.

873
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 6: I get that, but when you're going up against the

874
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 6: monster that is the NFL.

875
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose. I hate to say it that way,

876
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: but you're going to There's no way to stay away

877
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: from it completely. I don't mind Thursday night if I'm

878
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: baseball because that's on Prime and I can feel like that.

879
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: You're right, Niger TV. You know I want to be

880
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: on regular TV. I am on regular TV, and I'd

881
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: rather battle that than battle esp and excuse me, ESPN

882
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: ABC two prong attack by the National Football League.

883
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 6: Right, because you're gonna get caught if you play on

884
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 6: the weekend, because you got colleg football Saturday, NFL Sunday. Now,

885
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 6: if you could play maybe, I don't even know how

886
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 6: you would do it, if you could play a Saturday

887
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 6: Sunday travel day. But to me, I always felt like,

888
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 6: and I don't know, ma, I'm old school this way,

889
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 6: but I loved I loved day baseball in the playoffs.

890
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: I loved playoff games during the day.

891
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, nineteen eighty six Game six Mets Astros is over

892
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 6: the Astro is one of the greatest baseball games started

893
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 6: during the day. I remember being in miss Phalen's English

894
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 6: class and she was a huge Astros fan and she

895
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 6: had the Astros game going. We were in sixth period

896
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 6: and she had the Astros game going while we were

897
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 6: in her class. We then went the football practice, got

898
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 6: in the car, drove home and we were able to

899
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 6: see the last six innings, but it was during the day.

900
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 6: There was just something magical about it, and now like

901
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 6: these games kind of fun. That double play at the

902
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 6: Brewers ended up turning that would have been seen by

903
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 6: everyone everywhere, but they just had no There's not an

904
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 6: audience for it because everybody's watching the too money rcking.

905
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: Right, and the hot take shows aren't going to touch it.

906
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 6: Yeah really, I mean I don't think the shouty shows

907
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 6: have even talked about major League Baseball.

908
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, because well the Dodgers are the only huge brand

909
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: name in this final four of baseball and that's a

910
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: big factor, huge thing. All right, let's keep it going here.

911
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: Xavier Hutchinson was a guest on Up in Adams. This

912
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: is last week, but it's really good stuff with x

913
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: and some other on the way out here into Texans matchup,

914
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: which will be the second hour of Texans programming tonight.

915
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: It's Texans All Access Final Lap around the Track here

916
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: tonight on Texans Radio in our one because our two

00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: has Texans matchup coming up. And this is from the

918
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: show up in Adams, which is on fandual TV. You know,

919
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Southwest became Bally, which became FanDuel TV, which

920
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: is now off my screen altogether on Exfinity. So I

921
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: don't know where you get FanDuel TV. Probably online for sure,

922
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: but Kay Adams's here all over social media. Everything gets reposted.

923
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: She's awesome. She was on Good Morning Football for a

924
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: long time before she ventured off.

925
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 2: Anyway.

926
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: She had Xavier Hutchinson as a guest on recently, and

927
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: he caught two touchdown passes against the Baltimore Ravens. So

928
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: let's listen into some of that conversation.

929
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 8: Where's the touchdown ball? First touchdown? Where are you gonna

930
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 8: keep it?

931
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 9: That one's definitely gonna be in the crib. I gotta

932
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 9: I gotta get it, you know, I gotta. I gotta

933
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 9: get him to, like, you know, fancy it up a

934
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 9: little bit so you can go up on the shelf

935
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 9: and uh, you know, just sit there.

936
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 10: For a while.

937
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 8: I feel like it's so funny where you're like, I'm

938
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 8: my allergic to the end zone. You look, you were

939
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 8: like made for the end zone, you know, like your

940
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 8: six three wide receiver, Like you had a perfect box

941
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 8: out on that second touchdown. So now that you've gotten

942
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 8: that first beat too out of the way, is this

943
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 8: a X in the in that red zone situation for

944
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 8: the Texans? What do you think that does for you?

945
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 10: Uh?

946
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 9: You know, I think it really just builds on, you know,

947
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 9: the foundation of like just having confidence man, uh and

948
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 9: like knowing that you can go out there on a

949
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 9: given Sunday and produce for the team and you know,

950
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 9: hopefully you know, this is not just a one trick

951
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 9: pony or a two trick pony in that case, but uh,

952
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 9: hopefully now I can just continue this and just build

953
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 9: onto it from there.

954
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's fun when people watch and now you're getting

955
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 8: credit and we're talking about these two touchdowns, but you're

956
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 8: it's not it wasn't It's not like it's easy, you

957
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying. And I'm saying, oh, you're six

958
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 8: through people on the reds and like your journey. I'm

959
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 8: just kind of curious if you could describe the emotions

960
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 8: maybe in the aftermath of that, right because it was

961
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 8: even I was watching one of your old interviews and

962
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 8: you said that when you were younger, people would look

963
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 8: laugh at you when you said, like I want grew

964
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 8: up and I want to be in the NFL. And

965
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 8: now you're in year three and you finally, you know,

966
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 8: you've had moments, good ones, but you have this day finally, right,

967
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 8: like it's this two touchdown day. Everybody sees it. Your

968
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 8: journey was not an easy one. Juco Iowa State six

969
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 8: round draft pick.

970
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 10: Yeah.

971
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, it all just builds to the story, right,

972
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 9: Like everything happens for a reason, and you know you

973
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 9: can only really control these things that you can control.

974
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 9: So like, the journey is what made me me. The

975
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 9: journey is what brought me to, you know, that last

976
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 9: Sunday game. So you know you got to accept it

977
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 9: for what it is. You know, the highs end, the

978
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 9: loves you just you know, you really just can't give

979
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 9: up on yourself. You got to, you know, believe in

980
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 9: yourself and you gotta you know, have people around you

981
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 9: who believe in you, and uh, you know, never falter

982
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 9: whenever you know you may have a bad day that

983
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 9: you know they.

984
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 10: Can just pick you up and you know, put you

985
00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 10: on the right heads face.

986
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean CJ. When I was sort of saying,

987
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 8: what does this mean for you to have these two touchdowns?

988
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 8: It's confidence in yourself. But like that has to be

989
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 8: there has to be a little uptick in the confidence

990
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 8: in you department from your quarterback, right Like I feel

991
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 8: like this offense is finding its groove.

992
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, for sure.

993
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 9: You know, like with seven, Uh, you just gotta go

994
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 9: out there and you gotta show that you can make plays.

995
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 10: Man Like, he's a great quarterback.

996
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 9: He's gonna find you when you're open, and you just

997
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 9: gotta take you know, you gotta be willing to capitalize

998
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 9: on your opportunities when you get them. Uh. You know,

999
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 9: I feel like that's what I've been doing so far. Uh,

1000
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 9: And it can't stop right there. You know, I have

1001
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 9: to keep.

1002
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 10: Building on it. I have to keep showing it, you know,

1003
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 10: day in and day out.

1004
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 4: But you know, just like but.

1005
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 10: Just going out there and just playing football though.

1006
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 9: You know, I think when you get into the league,

1007
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 9: you know there's all this you know he say, she say,

1008
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 9: you know type of thing, and it's just football at

1009
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 9: the end of the day.

1010
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 10: Like a lot of people can blow it up to

1011
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 10: be a bigger thing.

1012
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 9: But you've been playing like I've been playing football since

1013
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 9: I was five years old, So there's no reason to

1014
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 9: like overdo anything.

1015
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 8: I think the secret is it's like a cyclone effect,

1016
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 8: don't you like CJ? He threw four touchdowns last week?

1017
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 8: Three word of Iowa state wide receivers. What is the math?

1018
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 9: I'm at no for sure, man, I always thinking gonna

1019
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 9: keep getting it. Man. I'm happy to be able to,

1020
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 9: you know, support my program while not even being there.

1021
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 10: And also, you know, to have the two other cyclones

1022
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 10: on the team. Man, it's huge.

1023
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 8: I know Tank Della is not out there right now,

1024
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 8: but I'm hearing that he's in good spirits. Actually knows

1025
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 8: that he is. But he was out there running sprints,

1026
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 8: right Did you see him out there? How's he looking?

1027
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 8: How's he feeling?

1028
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 9: He definitely looks good, man, he looks real good. I'm

1029
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 9: you know, I know that journey's not easy, but you know,

1030
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 9: he showed up every day whether he's been in a

1031
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 9: good mood or bad mood, and he showed up and

1032
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 9: he's you know, he's giving it his all. And I

1033
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 9: feel like, you know, that's all you can really ask.

1034
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 9: I know everybody in the building wants Tank to get healthy.

1035
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 9: I know he know most importantly, wants to see himself

1036
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 9: get healthy as well.

1037
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 10: So you just got to keep putting in the days. Man,

1038
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 10: It's gonna be a grind.

1039
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 9: But you know, there's always light at the end of

1040
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 9: the tunnel, and you know, I hope he's nearing.

1041
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 10: That here soon.

1042
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 8: I mean, if I was in my take his time,

1043
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 8: I wouldn't want to go practice against his defense.

1044
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 10: Oh for sure, definitely one.

1045
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 9: It's it's a battle every day that you got to

1046
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 9: go against our defense.

1047
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 8: I mean, I feel like not enough people are talking

1048
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 8: about the fact that this is the number one scoring

1049
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 8: defense in the entire NFL and buy a lot. By

1050
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 8: the way, we all know about Stingley right away. I mean,

1051
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 8: I think Daniel Hunter is literally Halloween. He is the

1052
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 8: scariest person in the NFL. Will Anderson's having a monster year.

1053
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 8: No one's really like latching onto that. I think in

1054
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 8: a national perspective right now, who is someone though that

1055
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 8: we are really not talking about that makes your life?

1056
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 5: You know what?

1057
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 8: On the other side of the ball.

1058
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, I would definitely say, Kamari, you know, I feel

1059
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 9: like everybody you know, with Staying being who he is,

1060
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 9: you forget about the other corner on the other side,

1061
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 9: who can do basically the same thing that Sting does.

1062
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 10: So I feel like, you know, Kamari definitely needs his flowers.

1063
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 10: He shows up every day. I mean, he's a dog

1064
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 10: as well.

1065
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 9: I don't know if y'all see him, but he'd be

1066
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 9: hitting his head with his.

1067
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 10: Hands a lot. I don't know if you'll be seeing that,

1068
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 10: but he's a little psycho.

1069
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 9: So he's definitely someone who I think should definitely be

1070
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 9: getting a little bit more praise.

1071
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 10: But I know, you know, he's gonna continue to show it.

1072
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: On Sundays there's Kay Adams with Xavier Hutchinson x and

1073
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: he'll be in action with the other Cyclones and everybody

1074
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: else on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks at nine o'clock.

1075
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: Can't wait for that showdown in the Pacific Northwest. It'll

1076
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: be live right here and on the Bowl one hundred

1077
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: point three FM. If you're wondering about local TV, yes,

1078
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: it's on local TV.

1079
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 2: It'll be on k h o U CBS, and it's

1080
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 2: an ESPN game. It was going to be ESPN.

1081
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: Plus, but they wisely decided to put it on the

1082
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: Big Channel. Anyway, we have Texans matchup coming up next,

1083
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: among other things here because Area forty five is after that.

1084
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: Have a great night, Go Texans.
