Speaker 1: The fans are jacked up. Here's what I love. You

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: asked this question in which I thought was great. You

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: were like, how many of you are from Europe and

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: our Texans fans? And there were I mean a dozen

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: hands I saw go up. And then you said how

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: many of them were from Houston? I slit up. And

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: then how many are from different country or from different

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: areas not used to the Texans fans, and then there

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: are people from all over the places. This place is

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: jam packed all the way through. This is awesome. Yeah,

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: we've got I mean the fans here, Debbie, the Texans

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: is of course here at DEMI the Texans and you

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: know so many of our Texans fans that we see

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: at Bud Rutgers on Tuesdays, lad Mark and Jan and

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: Claire and Debbie and I mean everybody, And it's fantastic

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: to see that. But Johnny, you're right Europe. So many

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: people from Germany have said hello to me and they

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: want him NFL game in Germany. Oh, I'm up for that.

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: Let's do it. NFL Europe was huge in Germany. It

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: just fit and after a while that league the survival

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: was really based on the German economy helping it out.

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: So yeah that, Johnny. A few people from Iceland just

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: said hello to me. They've come in from Iceland, and

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: I think we need a game in Reichkavic. My son

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: wants to go to Iceland so badly, and so when

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: we're flying in Classic Camp in Iceland last night at

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: this morning, oh yeah, my son is he had this

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: thing about Iceland. But they're on our little screen, you

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: can see our flight maps, see where we were. And

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: so I woke up at some point in the middle

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: of the night and I looked it was like where

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: are we and we were flying over Iceland coming back

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: south to London. I was like, whoa, my son's gonna

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: love He's gonna love this. So it's been really cool

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: to kind of look at that map and go, we're here,

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: We're here. But what was awesome today is we went

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: out to practice. We got here, putting our bags in

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: our hotel room. Everybody got a little bit of an

52
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: app went out, ran a little bit, went to practice

53
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: at the London Irish Rugby Center. Yes, and we were

54
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: out there and it was just it was like practice

55
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: on a Friday, except there were throngs of media. It

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: wasn't just me, you and Sarah Barr shop Aaron, Aaron

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: Rees and Aaron Wilson and John McClay. It was he

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: was I was there. It was like the record to

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: show that I was. He was there too. They were

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: like thirty media members. But they were just having practice.

61
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: They were just having a Friday practice, getting ready for

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday. Great showing indeed, Well, let's talk

63
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: about practice a little bit, Johnny, because they aren't getting

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: ready to face a Jags team that really wants a

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: piece of them. I mean, look at it. Look at

66
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: it from their point of view. Right here are the Jags,

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: and the Jags have a four and four record. They

68
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: have Gardner Minshew and they also have Leonard Fournette running

69
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: the ball well. And there they think that if they

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: win this game, they know that they're five and four

71
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: and they are right in the thick of the division race. Look,

72
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: the Colts take on the Steelers, they could lose that game. Yeah,

73
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have herms out. T Y Hilton's

74
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: out for a while. I hope it kind of stays

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: that way because I'm concerned about his health. Of courts.

76
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that a root for players to be

77
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: hurt at all, but I think Ty needs to take

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the year off and maybe more. But

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: that is a remarkable opportunity for them, the Jaguars, and

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: you have to look at it like that. You're gonna

81
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: get their best shot on Sunday at Webley Stadium. Here's

82
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: the thing. If you're Doug Moron, you walked in and say, guys,

83
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: we're four and four, they're five and three. Yep, what

84
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: was the differentiating factor in the game last time at

85
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: RG and they all could stand up and go, but

86
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: like that three inches right, that's the difference in the

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Texas being four and four in a must win situation

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: and the Jags being five and three, going, hey, come

89
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: to our place, Webbley's our place, as opposed to now

90
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: the Jags know to have any shot to win this division,

91
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: they've got to win this game Sunday, and the Texans

92
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: are thinking, yeah, we're banged up a little bit, but

93
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: we beat you the first time, we'll come and get

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: you the second time. It's been it's that close. Let's

95
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: hear what Bill O'Brien has to say about the upcoming

96
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. I caught up with him right after practice. Coach,

97
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: you'd like to talk about the operation on the field.

98
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: How's the operation been off the field? Getting here to London,

99
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: the help with the league and everything else, it's been great.

100
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I've it's been a seamless trip. You know.

101
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: We had a beautiful plane. Guys were able to sleep

102
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: on the plane, and then we land at Heathrow and

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: went through customs with no issues and got to a

104
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: beautiful hotel, Scion Park Hotel. It's it's been a great trip.

105
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, you said it was important to

106
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: get the game planning done before you left. Do you

107
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: feel you were able to accomplish that. Yeah, I think

108
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: we did. I mean we spent a lot of time.

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: We coaches did a good job of making sure we

110
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: got a lot done before we left, and then we

111
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: just had a really good practice. Here. Guys are into it,

112
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: their focused. We know it's gonna be a tough football game,

113
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: a challenge, but our guys are ready to go. In

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: the first game, you guys did very well against the

115
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: run Minshew as they're a leading rusher. What's it going

116
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: to take to continue that? Yeah, we have to. I

117
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: don't think we can let Minshu be the leading rusher.

118
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: I think that we've got to keep him in the

119
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: pocket and we've got to stop continue to stop the run.

120
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: They've got some good receivers Chark and Conley. They're playing

121
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: real well, but I think it's all about stopping the

122
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: run and trying to keep Minshew in the pocket. What

123
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: about defensively, how tough are they to run against? Very tough,

124
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: very tough, great front, Klais Campbell, Josh Allen Nacaquay didn't

125
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: play against us in the first game. Miles Jack. I mean,

126
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of good football players, Davn Bryan,

127
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a big challenge for us. You

128
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: played cleaner last week. Are you looking forward to seeing

129
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: that trend continue? I think that's the key. I think

130
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: we have to play clean football. I think that's really

131
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the way that you win in this league. Don't turn

132
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: it over, don't commit presnap penalties, try to play as

133
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: smart and as disciplined as you can and do it

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: for sixty minutes. What do you think of the nuances

135
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: of the stadium or is it like Hoosiers it's once

136
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: you're in the inside the lines, it's football. No, I

137
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: think I think we have to get over there and

138
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: we have to check the surface out. Jacksonville's played on

139
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: it before us, so they probably have more They're more

140
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: familiar with the surface. We need to get over there

141
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: and check it out, and I'm sure our guys will

142
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: get over there on the early bus and move around

143
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: on the field. A couple of final factors to a victory. Coach, Yeah,

144
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: I think again, you said it. You know, I think

145
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: we've got to play clean. We we've got to take

146
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: care of football. We gotta stop the run. We gotta

147
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: be able to run the football. And I think we

148
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: have to play well on special teams. You know, we

149
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: return it well. I think if we have a chance to,

150
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: and I think that if we have to punt that

151
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: we can pin them deep. That'll be good. You know,

152
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: to try to play a good field position game, which

153
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: thanks a lot, good lot, thanks Fanny. I thought a

154
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: funny line was we cannot let Gardner, Mitch, you'll be

155
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: the leading rusher. I mean, he knows that if he

156
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: and look, if he's the leading rusher with forty yards, okay,

157
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: that's good because that means Burnette ran for less than forty,

158
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: they're probably okay. But even if he does run for forty,

159
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: probably some first downs and key on some potential big plays,

160
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: maybe a touchdown, maybe two, who knows. So you really

161
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: do have to limit his running ability. But that doesn't

162
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: mean the job is done there, Johnny, because he can

163
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: still beat you with his arm, especially the way some

164
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: of these teams have been trying to beat the Texans.

165
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: The Cults were successful that with that short crossing pattern

166
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: passing game. And then you look at what the Raiders

167
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: tried to do successfully for a while, but it didn't

168
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: work out in the long run. You gotta watch out

169
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: for all those things because the back end is still

170
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: healing well. A couple of things. Number one of its coordinator,

171
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: John D. Filippo, was quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles

172
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: when Frank Reich was the offensive coordinator with the Philadelpi Eagles.

173
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: So a lot of the same things that Frank does

174
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: when he saw a man coverage, we're gonna see with

175
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: John D. Filippo with those rub routes. I've coined it

176
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: like this, Mark there's Gardner Minshew and then there's minshew Mania,

177
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: and Gardner Mitschew's a fine quarterback on his own. He

178
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: can make some of the quick throws that needs to

179
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: be made in that offense if you give him the opportunity,

180
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: and on rub routes and pick routes, the guys be

181
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: wide open to Hill hit him. But where Gardner has

182
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: gone to a different level is his ability to create

183
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: not just for himself but for his receivers down the field.

184
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: Last week, Casing Point the Jets, it was seven to

185
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: six the Jets had drive going turn the ball over.

186
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: The second play on the drive, Gardner Mitschew went back

187
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: to pass. I didn't tell a straighter on it, and

188
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: you can see it on KPRC Game Day. I'm not

189
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: when an't we playing that? By the way, that's tomorrow morning,

190
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow thirty am. Thank you for reminding me. People kickoff

191
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: as at eight thirty am Sunday, so that's when that

192
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: on the airs. We have to move it up a day, right,

193
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: So on that play you'll see it. The Jags dish

194
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: run kind of a simple high low concept, trying to

195
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: catch a cover two corner kind of in between, but

196
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: Mintshee gets a little pressure from the edge so he

197
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: holds onto it and then he starts to move around

198
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: and the Jets in on him and Chris Connelly goes

199
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: right down the middle of the field wide open. Minshew

200
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,119
Speaker 1: finds him back. That's minshumania to me, the ability to

201
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: move around, move around, break a tackle, spin out of

202
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: another one, and then throw it. Like we call it

203
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Watson magic, it's Gardner Minshew mania. That's to me, two

204
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: different guys that you have to stop when Minshumania gets going.

205
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean like Holkomania. When Hulkomania is running while brother

206
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: it's coming right over, Well, that's Gardner Minshew mania. When

207
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: he gets it going like that, you have a very

208
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: difficult time. You've got to pass Russian wise tomorrow. And

209
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: I will never ever in my life tell you the

210
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Texans would ever be better without JJ Watt than not.

211
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: But with JJ, JJ was gonna take calculated risks because

212
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: he thought he was gonna be able to make a sack.

213
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: If he didn't, then that gave an opportunity for the

214
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: quarterback to get out of the pocket. With the rushers

215
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have on Sunday, those guys are probably gonna

216
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: be predisciplined about enveloping Gardner Minshew in the well all together.

217
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: It is very key that they worked all together to

218
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: do just that. Well, they have to do it to

219
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: stop the run against fortune to begin with, right, So

220
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: that should keep the umbrella the upside out of keep

221
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: that well enclosed on him. If you do that, then

222
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Mitshumania can't do anything, all right. So Toro's here entertaining

223
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: the crowd. The Texans cheerleaders are here at the Barrel

224
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: Boy and Banker in downtown London, entertaining the crowd. They're

225
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: doing the cheer, it's nuts. People are taking selfie is awesome. Yes,

226
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: and I love this stuff because everybody's you know, everybody's

227
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: really partying, having a good time, and I want them too,

228
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: you know as well the lad show. But this is

229
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: this is the way it is. And it reminds me

230
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: of food Ruckers on steroids. Okay, uh, not so much,

231
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: because I think food Ruckers is mellow or anything. Right

232
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: this place, I mean, we're in London. People have traveled

233
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: halfway around the world almost and they're really fired up

234
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: for this game on Sunday and London. By the way, Wow,

235
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned it. We were in an uber for a

236
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: long time and it would have been no faster I trained.

237
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: So I know people are well, why didn't you take

238
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: the tube? Well, because it wouldn't have been any faster

239
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: where we were coming from or out in the burbs. Right,

240
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: For lack of a better way of putting it, it it

241
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: doesn't really get suburban gear. It just kind of looks

242
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: like a thinner, thinned out London downtown version, thinned out

243
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: for the outskirts. Yeah, if you get my drift here,

244
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: So if you want to you want to gauge in

245
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Houston kind of what we did today. Yeah, we essentially

246
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: went from Katie all the way to Edo on two

247
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: lane roads that had lights probably every half mile. Yep,

248
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: that's pretty much about what we but no straight line,

249
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: finding very few straight lines going in the car was fascinating.

250
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: It's my first time in London and my forty. At

251
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: one point I thought, oh my gosh, we're speeding. This

252
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: is amazing. I thought we were going in the wrong

253
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: direction at that point. But it was great because we

254
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: got a chance to see the city because we are

255
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: out a little bit. Westminster Abbey just popped up. You're like, oh,

256
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Westminster Abbey's where I was on the phone. I said, Johnny,

257
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: there's Westminster. It was great, got a couple of pictures

258
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, it was it was awesome. I mean,

259
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: it's really really cool to see this. But we're near

260
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: London Bridge. Yeah that when I started into my Google

261
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: and I put in such and such, it popped up

262
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: London Bridge. So anything London Bridge, Like, we're right by

263
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: London Bridge, so hopefully it doesn't fall down. Like you

264
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: want to look at this person, run go check out

265
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 1: Houston Texans Twitter because it's there and the Instagram and

266
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: Drew Jordy's been here doing videos and countless other Texans.

267
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: I mean, like I mentioned, all the Texans super fans

268
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: are here socializing, and by that I mean on social media,

269
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: so you can check out all the coverage there and

270
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: it's just fun stuff. Kevin Walter was here earlier today.

271
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: We're supposed to interview Kevin, but I think he decided

272
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: this was an overwhelming see No, I'm not sure what

273
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: he had to do to I do. Well, he got

274
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: pulled into it another engagement, I think, one that we

275
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: were supposed to get pulled into itself, really, but he

276
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: got pulled into the Kensington Palace. Well that's that's good, yeah,

277
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: because you want to I don't know if they're gonna

278
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: meet the royal family or anything, but they're gonna have

279
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: a good time tonight. But this place is just wal

280
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: to wall, you know, this is. It thinned out for

281
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: a while because it was an instant yogi berra nobody

282
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: goes there anymore. It's too crowded situation. But then it

283
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: got crowded again. So here we are, and I don't

284
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: mean to do too much live play by play of

285
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: this place, but I'm trying to bring the London thing

286
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: back to you. The amount of Texans fans here is

287
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: dare I say, staggering, overwhelming? I don't know how to

288
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: describe it. Because they were good, they had a spot

289
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: to do the Traveling Texans picture. You all see that

290
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: right on social media. They had to scratch the spot

291
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: because it got too small for that now too small

292
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: in London. Too small in London, too small. They're like, no,

293
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: we can't do it. We have too many fans here.

294
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: Remember they one in San Francisco in twenty thirteen. I

295
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: know that game was a dog and it was a

296
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: dog season, but that was the follow up year at

297
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: A twelve and four in two thousand and twelve when

298
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: everyone started really hitting the road big time. And I

299
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: think this whole thing started with the Baltimore Ravens playoff

300
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: game in twenty eleven really started. I know there have

301
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: been there have been traveling Texans forever, but it really

302
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: exploded that year. And to go a little bit further,

303
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: our good, our good friends rather Suddarth put together the

304
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: fifty three the Traveling Texans, which is fantastic. Stephanie Traveling

305
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: is on their Texans. Jake and she talks about the

306
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: origin of Traveling Texans, and there's some great shots of

307
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: where they've taken that Traveling Texans picture. The one to

308
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: me that I remember was Mexico City. Yeah, I just

309
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: remember Mexico City and there were a lot of Raiders

310
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: fans and be honest, moder Raiders fans, but that picture

311
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: the Traveling Texans was just it was monumental. It was

312
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: really really cool. So I can't wait to see where

313
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: it ends up being taken. But let's look the the

314
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: project at hand. If you will go beat this Jacksonville

315
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: team on Sunday, well let's dive a little deeper into that.

316
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm very ware with his thoughts on the match shop

317
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: and a little bit around the Nationenville Football League. You

318
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: and I'll go over all the games. In the third

319
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: segment of this hour. Before the hour is done, we've

320
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: got Frank Franie some highlights of what he had to

321
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: say about the Jaguars. In the second hour, Whitney Merciless

322
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: in the second hour. It's all coming up on Texans Radio,

323
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: keeping you close with your Houston Texans. Texans All Access

324
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: broadcasting from London at the Barrel Boy and Banker where

325
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: all the fans are hanging out. Not all the fans,

326
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: but man, this place is jam packed the Texans fans.

327
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: It's an exclusive Texans crowd here, and it's so much

328
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: fun to see everybody partying getting ready for the big

329
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Mark Vandermaron, John Harris with you and

330
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: we'll get on raised thoughts on the matchup at just

331
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: a few moments here. But Johnny, the travel aspect of this,

332
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: a lot of them talked about. Yes, related to the Jags,

333
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: this being their seventh time here, the Texans coming here

334
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: for the first time. You do have Gary and Conley

335
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: coming here for the second time in a year. Yes,

336
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: it's right, I mean unbelievable in several weeks, two trips

337
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: to London to play an NFL game. But what do

338
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: you make of that? I mean, you've been here for

339
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: nine to twenty four hours as I have. I think

340
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: the guys are gonna be okay. My point is there

341
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: athletes in the prime of their lives. They're in commendous shape,

342
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: they have outstanding resources to get ready for the game.

343
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: I think they should be okay as far as that

344
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: stuff is concerned. Well, speaking just for me, forty seven

345
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: years old. Didn't sleep much in a plane, but got

346
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, got to the hotel and slept probably

347
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: two hours. Right then I went and got a run.

348
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: After the run, I you know, shouting, got ready and

349
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I feel good. I mean, I feel good.

350
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's you know, whatever time it

351
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: is back in you know, back in Houston. I feel

352
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: like I'm on the London time, like I'm supposed to be,

353
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: which obviously is what you want. You want these guys

354
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: that feel like it's London time, not four o'clock in

355
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: the afternoon, and they're just waking up, going all right,

356
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: where's breakfast. I don't think they've they've had that. They

357
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: looked pretty sharp at practice today. Guys seem to be,

358
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, rolling out. We drove over there, all the

359
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: busses together to get over to the facility, and they

360
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: all looked like they were pretty good spirits and ready

361
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: to go. And you're right, you you bounce back and

362
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: you deal with it. Now the Jags know a little

363
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: bit more of how they've done it and what's been

364
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: successful for them in the past. But the Texans prepare

365
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: and have prepared to build. Brian and heard him say

366
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: this at his press conference today right before while we

367
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: had to take off and get here. He said, we've

368
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: been looking at this since it was announced. We've been

369
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: studying what we have to do to make sure that

370
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: we go out on Sunday and give it our best effort.

371
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: And look, they're gonna be some things out of their control.

372
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: They have nothing to do with this trip, as in

373
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: five guys already out on the injury report, including two

374
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: starting defensive backs and a third who has started. Said

375
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: some of the injuries and Lonnie Johnson, so that's a

376
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: bigger factor than I think any of the travel and

377
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. I feel like, now we're here,

378
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's London. I get it because I see

379
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: London Bridge and we'ren't here, and we see the London flags,

380
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: we see all that. But we could just be on

381
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: a regular road trip. Yeah, that's the way it kind

382
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: of That's the way it feels like from that perspect

383
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: and extras. You know what it reminds me of. It's

384
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna sound weird in the Kopiak era. Once upon a time.

385
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm one trip to Oakland. They went out of day ahead. Yeah,

386
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: and I hate to say it, but it sort of

387
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: reminds me of that, you know, where you just have

388
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: this extra day to deal with. Of course, I get it,

389
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: it's different. It's the Jags, it's London. It's a really

390
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: tough situation. But just as far as the time elapsed

391
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: between travel and game day, it reminds me of that,

392
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: all right, andre Ware, It reminds me of a lot

393
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: of things. And we had a quieter conversation about how

394
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: this matchup might go down between the Texans and the

395
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: Jags and some of the some of the issues involved

396
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: some of the matchup factors. No JJ Watt for the

397
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: rest of the season. So Andrea, what do they do

398
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: to try to combat the loss of j J Watt

399
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: on that defensive front. I think it's a lot of players,

400
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different mixtures of things, and you've got

401
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: to be real careful and how you do it and

402
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: go about it, because you can't get two blitz crazy

403
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: because you've got some of the inexperience right now that's

404
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: playing on the back end. But you have to pick

405
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: and choose when you do it, mix and rotat a

406
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: handful of players and many who's gonna be big. He's

407
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: gonna have to really grow up in a hurry and

408
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: start to contribute in a major way. And I think

409
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: he's got some talent there that that can certainly get

410
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: you by. There gonna be others, others that will have

411
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: to step up in terms of rush defense that on Earth,

412
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: especially on early downs, you're gonna have to stand in

413
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: there and fight and scratch and not give up an

414
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: inch here and there, and others will have to make

415
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: plays because of that, and it's it's just going to

416
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: be a totally different way in which you go about

417
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: playing defense with a player like JJ out of the lineup. Well,

418
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: we've been working together eighteen years, so I'm sure you've

419
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: seen the same thing I have and are concerned about

420
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: the same thing. And that's Leonard Fournette, who's having a

421
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: really good season. And you mentioned the early downs and

422
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: needing to stop him. The Texans did a good job

423
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: last time, but they're going to have to do that

424
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: again and maybe more this time. Yeah, and he seems that.

425
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's what's the difference in Leonard Fournette

426
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: is that he's running behind a healthier offensive line. They've

427
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: gotten some players back up front that that have opened

428
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: some holes for him, and when you're playing with backups,

429
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: we know how tough that is to especially get the

430
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: running game going, when everybody's not in sync or you

431
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: have one guy in, one guy out. It's it's tough

432
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: to go about your business that way, especially for a

433
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: talented backlif Fournette. But he's back, the offensive line is

434
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: a little bit healthier, and he's starting to reap the benefits.

435
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: We know what type of talent he is. He looks

436
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: as though studying last week's film, he's having fun again.

437
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: And when you're there are no holes there and you're

438
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: constantly being stopped in the backfield or at the line

439
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, it's no fun for not only a quarterback,

440
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: but certainly a running back. Gardner Minshew seems like, you know,

441
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: he's just continuing to build every single week on the

442
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: last week's performance, where his confidence is at an all

443
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: time high right now. So those are two weapons. Are

444
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: certainly a lot more that are around those two that

445
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: will be a factor in Sunday's game. But they look

446
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: like a very good, young offensive team that starting to

447
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: turn the corner and starting to compete at a high level.

448
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: Minshew is kind of making it. I hate to say

449
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: look easy. It's not easy, and maybe he's not making

450
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: it look that easy. But he's a rookie Andre and

451
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: they're four and four, and I know the competition isn't

452
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: super Bowl worthy, but you have to give him some

453
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: credit here for coming in and doing a nice job. Yeah,

454
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: I credit how he was coached in college and being

455
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: able to read defenses and things of that. That goes

456
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: a long way when you can come to the line

457
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and see different looks and know how to

458
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: attack certain defenses based on where the weaknesses are. Mike

459
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: Leach did an outstanding job with him, and I think

460
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: that's he's part of a trend where that's the way

461
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: in the direction that the NFL is going. It's going

462
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: more towards the spread looks, the offenses, the air raid

463
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: type offenses, where guys are prepared for what the NFL

464
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: has in store from a defensive standpoint, not a whole lot.

465
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: You can show him that he hasn't seem to be

466
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: quite honest, and and he is. He has taken the

467
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: coaching is he's often running with it, and he's getting

468
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: he's improving each and every week, and you can actually

469
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: see it when you turn on the tape and watch it.

470
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm looking at the Cults here going to Pittsburgh,

471
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: and we saw Pittsburgh. I hesitate to use the word struggle,

472
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: but it was more of a struggle than we thought

473
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night. So what are

474
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: you thinking of the Steelers hosting the Cults this weekend? Well,

475
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: I think I go back to that game on Monday

476
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: Night against the Dolphins. I think it may have been

477
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: one of those where you underestimate an opponent and a

478
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: young team, you know, with Mason Randolph or Rudolph there

479
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, and you just can't do that. There's

480
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: a there are a lot of young components to the Steelers,

481
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: and then you're reading about the Dolphins and how the

482
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: tank in the season and how you know this, that

483
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: and the other where it's going to be an easy game.

484
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: He's just we're at home. We'll roll the helmets out

485
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: there and roll the balls out and we'll win and

486
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: move on. Let's the NFL. And you find yourself up, oh,

487
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: we're down fourteen nothing, we better start playing. I think

488
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: it was more more of that than it was a

489
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: lapse of talent with the Steelers going to or playing

490
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: against Indie this week. This will be a tough game.

491
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: It's one that on paper, the Colts should be able

492
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: to take care of the Steelers, but it's the NFL

493
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: and you never know. Any given Sunday, it can happen.

494
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: We saw that Miami came out fighting and then all

495
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: of a sudden the Steelers reacted. This could this is

496
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: one of those where the coach should win it, but

497
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: it could be a toss up game. Yeah. And then

498
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: you have the Titans in Carolina in North Carolina, so

499
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be interesting as well. Carolina coming out

500
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: that bad loss seems to be coming down, you know,

501
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: back down to Earth. There was a lot of Kyle Allen.

502
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: He suffered his first loss this past weekend. I know

503
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: they've got some injuries in Carolina. But Tennessee is a

504
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: team that is starting to roll a little bit. They're

505
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: going on the road Tanny Hills, starting to play some

506
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: consistent football. And that's always been the scary thing about Tennessee,

507
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: as if they can get consistent quarterback play each and

508
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: every weekend and week out with a dominant running game,

509
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's exactly what coach Vrabel wanted. That's

510
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: exactly what he's starting to get and he's starting to

511
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: root the benefits of it. There's my buddy andre Ware.

512
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: And next up we'll get a little bit of insight

513
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: from Frank Franchie, voice of the Jaguars. We heard from

514
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: him earlier in the week, but what does he have

515
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: to say about coming to London, about this particular game

516
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: and about the rest of the Division two. Because it's

517
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: hot and heavy in the AFC South, like we discussed,

518
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: we're broadcasting from the Barrel Buoyant Banker, the Texans Pub

519
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: in downtown London. It's Texans Radio back on Texans All

520
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: Access here in London at the Barret Boy and Banker

521
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: and fans coming out of the Woodworth. Different countries, different states,

522
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: different states of mind, differents throw it in there, different continents, continents.

523
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Iceland really blew me away. That was cool.

524
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: That's gotta I gotta find one to beat that, because

525
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: I'll be London is one thing, but Iceland is another.

526
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: You know, we were talking earlier about World League and

527
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: you mentioned putting a game over in Germany. Yeah, you know,

528
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: one of the most successful franchises is from your motherland.

529
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to Amsterdam and play a game the Amsterdam Admirals. Yeah,

530
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: let's go to Amsterdam and play Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

531
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: would love that. Okay. The local soccer team pro soccer

532
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: team is IAX, and it's spelled Ajax Ajax, but it's

533
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: IAX and I follow them on Twitter now, so that's

534
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: fun for me. Anyway, a little bit more about this

535
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: game and the AFC South and Johnny, when you look

536
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: at the Cults going to Pittsburgh, this is a big

537
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: game in the Texas. Let's face it, en or lose.

538
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: You want the Colts to lose to Pittsburg somehow, And no,

539
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, like you stated earlier, what do you

540
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: make of that one? As those two will get together.

541
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm want to tell you that Pittsburgh started solving all

542
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: of its issues in the second half against Miami. But

543
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: I do think it was great for Pittsburgh to get

544
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: a win and have Mason Rudolph back in the lineup

545
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: and say, hey, yeah, we had guys that made plays,

546
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: and not every single one of those guys who was

547
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: named Juju Smith Schuster for James Connor. They got contributions

548
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: from Deonta Johnson, and they also got contributions from Brian

549
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: for As sending an eight man blitz on third and

550
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: twenty and even jumps and wide opening, So they got

551
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: contributions from everybody. I think the Steelers. The Steelers played

552
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: better defense than people think. T J. Watt has had

553
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: a great year, And obviously we'll talk about j J

554
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: because we're in Houston, but TJ has had a really

555
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: good JJ is a good pr agent for TJS and

556
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: he really doesn't even have to be because TJ's just

557
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: playing that well. He's gonna be key. But again we

558
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: found out last week. We've known, but it was re

559
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: emphasized last week that you can be great coming off

560
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: the edge. You can beat that block up front, and

561
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: you might beat Braydon Smith, you might beat Costanzo, but

562
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: you've got to beat Jacoby Brissette by wrapping him up

563
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: and bringing him down. Broon Miller, Bob Miller, a Hall

564
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: of Famer, didn't do that, and it allowed the Broncos,

565
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: allowed the Colts excuse me, to beat the Bronco goes

566
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: as Brissette was able to get out of it, and

567
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: that play was the Springboard two game winning UGO by

568
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: Adam Vinitari. So I think the Steelers playing at home.

569
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the key, playing at home. And this

570
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: is one of those that we talked about at the

571
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: beginning of the when the schedule was announced. What's the

572
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: matchup games that we all played the same teams, the

573
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: Colts and Sex Since home and away, we all we

574
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: played the same team except for two. We played the

575
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Patriots at home. They played the Dolphins at home. Yes,

576
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: we go to Baltimore, they go to Pittsburgh. So this

577
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: is one of those games you look at and go

578
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: then we're gonna pound the Dolphins. Okay, that's gonna happen

579
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 1: at home. You knew that was gonna happen, and it's

580
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I think it happens next week. Well we

581
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: do gets the Patriots, we'll find out. It's gonna be

582
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: a measuring stick for us later in the year. But

583
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: this one, this is where you could pick one up.

584
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: You picked one up the Chargers like in and that

585
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: was a big one to pick up that you won

586
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 1: and they lost. Denver almost came through. Like Denver almost

587
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: came through for you. But now you gotta take care

588
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: of your own business obviously here in Jacksonville. But I

589
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: do think that Pittsburgh is going to be in that

590
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: ball game all the way throughout, and you hope that

591
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: playing in Pittsburgh that gives them a little bit of

592
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: an advantage and they can come through and pull off

593
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: a win for us. And how would that How asse

594
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: would that be to be on a plane coming home going, Hey,

595
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh beat Indianapolis, you bet Jacksonville, You're back in first

596
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: place going into the body, that would be terrific. I mean,

597
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: when you look at Tennessee, check it out in Carolina.

598
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: I really think that the Panthers have I know they

599
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: lost badly last week, but they do have a lot

600
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: going for them, especially against the Titans. I think this

601
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: is a hotly contested affair going down to the wire

602
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Yeah, I mean, I think it's

603
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: that's the kind of game I think Tennessee's gonna play well.

604
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee plays those kind of games. And Mike

605
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: Brabel knows he doesn't have all the offensive talent in

606
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: the world. But what Brabel's doing is he's keeping that

607
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: game close enough that either tanny Hill can make one

608
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: play or the other team makes a massive mistake and

609
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: they can take advantage of that, and it almost backfired

610
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: on him last week. But that fake field goal, but

611
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: the whistle he got bailed out because the whistles should

612
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: have never been blown in the Bucks should have won

613
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: that football game. But that's the way it goes either way.

614
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: With this game with the Panthers. With with Kyle Allen

615
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: now pretty much entrenched in the starter, you don't have

616
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: to ask, hey, is he gonna start this week? He's

617
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: gonna start this week. You know he's gonna start because

618
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: Cam is dealing with that foot that is a whole

619
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: heck of a lot worse than people imagined or even

620
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: let off where it originally happened. So he went up

621
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: apparently up to Green Bay to go see his surgeon

622
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: up there and see what the deal is. But Kyle

623
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: All's the guy, and I think that gives the Panthers

624
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: confidence that, hey, look, Kyle doesn't have to answer those

625
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: questions a weekend and week out. He had a bad game,

626
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: he bounces back this week against the Titans, and I

627
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: think the Panthers end up being the Tights at home.

628
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: By the way, flut surgeon at Green Bay, not that

629
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: that's that unusual, but a specialist to Warren's NFL type attention,

630
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: and I guess that's good for him. Yeah, doctor Robert

631
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: Anderson does does a tremendous job. So, and I want

632
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: to live in Green Bay, tarn't it because I like

633
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: it up there. Well, how we feel was Julilad. I

634
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: told us green Bay was like a little he said

635
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: it was like a little man pleasant, exactly what he said,

636
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: because of course we're central Michigan is located and don't

637
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: get me started. They Okay, Frank Franchie is the voice

638
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars, and I've visited with him about some

639
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: of the details going on between the Texans and the

640
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars and this trip to London. Okay, what about the fans.

641
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: I've heard that different jerseys are worn because they're NFL fans,

642
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: not necessarily fans of the team. Yeah. I think there'll

643
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: be more jagged than anything else because we've become sort

644
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: of the quasi home team over there, so you'll see

645
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: more Jackie jerseys than you little other teams. But having

646
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: said that, you'll see everybody you will see and teams

647
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: with big followings to go for the first time. I

648
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: guess the Texans will be this way. I can tell

649
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: you the first time when we played the Eagles over

650
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: there last year, there were tons of Eagles fans because

651
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: they'd never made the trip before. But yeah, you will

652
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: see they all were jerseys too, bro So you will

653
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: see more NFL jerseys from more different teams. I think

654
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: the first year I went, I was kind of astounded

655
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: by that mark. I think I probably counted fifteen sixteen

656
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: teams at one walk around the stadium. I think I

657
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: could probably counted fifteen or sixteen, so half of the

658
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: NFL team. So it's colorful, it's kind of neat. They've

659
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: had to learn how to cheer. It's a different kind

660
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: of cheer than you're used to, and believe it or not,

661
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: even your players have to get used to that because

662
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: you're you know, your players who used to a certain

663
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: cadence of the crowd. Home crowd acts a certain way,

664
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: the road crowd acts a certain way. Well, these these

665
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: fands are learning kind of how to cheer a little bit,

666
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: so it'll be a very different experience for you and

667
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: for that team for sure. Here you are at five hundred,

668
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: are you surprised? How do you feel about the first

669
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: half of the season for the Jaguars, I gotta tell you,

670
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: and I think this the feeling around here is to

671
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: have lost your quarterback eleven plays into the season, Mark

672
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: eleven play You spend eighty eight million dollars on Nick

673
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: bole and you lose him eleven plays in. Then to

674
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: have all the Jalen Ramsey stuff Galen wanted out of here.

675
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: They you know the whole story by now. By now

676
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: all about the confrontation or the discussion at the front office.

677
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: He asked for a trade a day later. I think

678
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: everybody knows the drill. To lose your best defensive player,

679
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: one of the best corners in the league is not

680
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: the best. To lose your quarterback eleven plays in, and

681
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: then you look up and you're right in the middle

682
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: of the race and you're four and four. It's a

683
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: pretty good four and four. The rookie quarterback's pretty good.

684
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that. Now. Now, look, they've beaten

685
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: struggling teams. That yet they're struggling. The Bengals are struggling,

686
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: Lebroncos are struggling. The wins have come against bad teams.

687
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: They have to see if they can do it against

688
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: good teams. And that, of course starts in London. I

689
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: thought the Texans Jaguar is getting the first time around

690
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: was a pretty good game. It came down to a

691
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: two point conversion and Leonard Fournette was stopped about an

692
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: inch short, and there was a one point game. So

693
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: but now I think, all told, they feel pretty good

694
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: about where this team is. Okay, what about Minshew? And

695
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: I know you probably get asked all the time about

696
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: what happens when Falls gets back? But what happens when

697
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: Falls gets back? Frank I did get asked all the time.

698
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knows that answer. I think let's

699
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: see what happens in London. If the Jags win, that's

700
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: three straight wins. He's played very well, thirteen touchdowns, only

701
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: two interceptions. He's way beyond where Speedmentally, I think everybody

702
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: knows that he's got a good arm, not a great arm.

703
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: He's mobile, he's got he's got a little moxie about him.

704
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: There's something special about this guy. There's nobody would debate

705
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: chat having said that you're committed. This team committed themselves

706
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: to Nick Foles. You don't make the commitment. Someone said, well,

707
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: you gotta play Foles. They're gonna play poles through their pative. No,

708
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with it. But you paid

709
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: him because you're committed to him being your guy for

710
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: the next three years. So I don't know which way

711
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna go. Honestly, I don't know that dog does.

712
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: But I asked Dug about that the other day and

713
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: he told me he really doesn't know, and I tend

714
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: to believe him. I don't think they've decided. I think

715
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: the feeling is as an open date. After the game.

716
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: Play the game, see what happens when you play the game,

717
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: catch your breath, and then and then see what happens.

718
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: My guest is Mark. At some point it folds, will

719
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: quarterback this team again, whether it's the week after the

720
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: buyer now, will see? All right? Tell me about DJ

721
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: Shark and what you're getting out of him. I mean,

722
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: this guy's really making a lot of noise right now

723
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: with the six touchdowns, six hundred and sixty yards. What

724
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: are you seeing? Yeah, he's a good player at LSU.

725
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: He's got all the measurable He's six foots four, he's

726
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds. He can run. He reminds you, Boddy,

727
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: he reminds you of Hopkins, A little bit in terms

728
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: of the way he looks came. He did not catch

729
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: a lot of balls at Lsuck. He probably talked fifty

730
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: sixty balls his whole career there. So for that reason,

731
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: he wasn't the most seasoned, the skilled guy. I'd learned

732
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: how to catch the ball. He kind of fucked the

733
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: ball a little bit Marcus first year. Now he's really

734
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: worked on that. He's a good pass catcher, and the

735
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: other stuff was there. He's really fast, he's very athletic.

736
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: He works really hard. He's got a toughness about him.

737
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: He's good. This guy's going to be legit. It's a

738
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: good reason we have never had a great receiving for him,

739
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: you know. We had. We had Jimmy Smith and Kingdom

740
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: McCardell in the early years in the nineties, and since then,

741
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: it just hasn't been a very good core. It's pretty

742
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: good now. Dd Westbrook's a good player. Chris Conley got

743
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: buried a little bit in Kansas City, but now that

744
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: he's here, he's a good player. So wouldn't mind having

745
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: a tight end. Tight End play hasn't been very good,

746
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: but as far as the wide receivers, they've been pretty good.

747
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: I thought you were on your way with Alan Robinson

748
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: and Hearns and those guys. They were looking like a

749
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: good young crew, but it never quite materialized, right, That

750
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: was part of it. And look, Alan Hearns is a

751
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: really good player, and Alan Hearns is the best teammate

752
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 1: of all the time. But those guys weren't very fast.

753
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: We've gotten into it. We've gotten a time in the league,

754
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: I think, and maybe you just agree with this, but

755
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: we've gotten to a time in the league where possession

756
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: receivers have had to give way to guys that can run.

757
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Hops Fuller. I mean, who's faster

758
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: than Fuller in this league? And he's the second best

759
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: receiver on your team. So I think we've gotten you

760
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Mark, I think we've gotten where

761
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: guys have to run as good as as good as

762
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: a rob and Hearns and Marquis Lee. Where they all

763
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: came into the league together, none of them took the

764
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: top off the deft. These three guys can all run. Now,

765
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: this is three guys that can run. They haven't had

766
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: that before. What's different about Fournette if anything? Seven hundred

767
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: ninety one yards my goodness, five yards per carry. The

768
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: guy's doing really well for you, Well, it's help. He

769
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: was hurt most of last year, and last year it

770
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: got away from the Jaggers for whatever reason. They had

771
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: a lot of young guys. You started wondering if they

772
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: were playing for each other or playing for themselves a

773
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: little bit. I think they would tell you that in

774
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: a very introspective moment. I think most of the guys

775
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: on the team would tell you that. I think Leonard

776
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: recommitted himself went to Wyoming in the off season. Mark

777
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: really really worked, got himself in great shape. He's the

778
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: he's the running game. Now he gets all the carry

779
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: they throw it to him out of the backfield. And

780
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: I think he's healthy. I think he's in shape. I

781
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: think he's a year older, a year of more mature,

782
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: and he's having a terrific year. But this whole team, Look,

783
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: I'm Jayalen Rams. He's a magnificent player, and everybody hated

784
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: the team. Bill Eastent a good player, and he was

785
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: a hard worker and he carried He wanted to be

786
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: the best in his craft. So there's no negative stuff

787
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: about Jayleen. Yet it got to where this team. I

788
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: think this team plays for each other more now than

789
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: it has in many, many years. I think you can

790
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: sense that. I think you can feel that, and I

791
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: think there's a pretty good vibe in that locker room.

792
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: Frank Angie, voice of the Jaguars with us, Frank, give

793
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: me a player two that doesn't get pub that. You

794
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: think more people should be talking about somebody's doing well

795
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, I think there's some under the radar guys,

796
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: some of the young second year guys, Taven Bryant starting

797
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: to play well along that defensive front. M Josh Allen's

798
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: getting a lot of pubs, so I guess he wouldn't

799
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: qualify as that guy. He's getting a lot. I think

800
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: the two safeties, the two young safeties remember ahead to

801
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 1: Shaan Gifton is there now and Ferry Church two better

802
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: in safeties who kind of anchored that defense and when

803
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: the team was the defensive so good two years ago,

804
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: they're gone. So the two young safeties, Jerry Wilson's played well,

805
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison's played well. This young defensive tackle the first

806
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: round or a year ago, Taven Bryan. When Taven Bryan

807
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: came into the league, he's six foot five to six

808
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: five and kind of looked in a uniform like JJ

809
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: Watt and everyone said he's JJ about Well, he's not Jake.

810
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: The tackle was a three technique. He's not an end.

811
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: They tried him an end the last year. He didn't

812
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: play to well. So he's starting to play better. The

813
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: Wan Smoot is a draft like a third round or

814
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: three years ago that they thought maybe they had missed on.

815
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: He's got two sacks already. He's starting to play better.

816
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: So some of the young guy. I'll give you one

817
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: more guy, keep and eye and Trey Herndon the cornerback

818
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: number thirty seven. Mark, he's a guy that had to

819
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: He's an undrafted guy out of Vanderbilt that had to

820
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: go in and play. When they traded Jalen and people thought,

821
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: oh boy, well he had two interceptions last week. And

822
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean good interceptions. I don't mean balls the tupped

823
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: in his hands. I mean he went dove and went

824
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: got him. The week before against Cincinnati, he thought he

825
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: had an interception, was overturned by replay. This guy's got

826
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: two picks, almost three. He's been a really good cornerback

827
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: for them, so he played pretty well. Excellent stuff. Frank,

828
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: all right, one more for you. I don't think anybody

829
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: should be surprised that the AFC South has all four

830
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: teams at five hundred or better. But it's the way

831
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: they got there. I think that is a little bit

832
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: of a surprise at the very least. What about the

833
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: Titans and the Cults, your quick thoughts on them, Yeah,

834
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that your Khobe were set. I know

835
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: him a little bit when he was at Florida before

836
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: he transferred to NC State. I said on my day

837
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: on my daily radio show, watched it. He's not Andrew Luck.

838
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna do Luck. But he is a really good player,

839
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: and they will not take the step back to people thinking.

840
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: The people on the radio show with me look like

841
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: I had a blue head. But I'm telling you, I'm

842
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: not surprised by that. I don't know what to make

843
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: of the Titan I think they're a good, tough, physical

844
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: football team. Mariota got benched. I'm not sure what to

845
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 1: make of him. Mike. He's a good friend of Bookers

846
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: in mine and Mike and I talk about it a lot.

847
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he knew where they were headed with Mariota.

848
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to make of the Titans.

849
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: The tough, most physical football teams find the way to win.

850
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: They know how to win. I'm not surprised by the Colts.

851
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: I think Jakobe was set the good player. I expected

852
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: him to play well like he had. There's my buddy Frangie,

853
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: voice of the Jaguars. Wanted to get a little of

854
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: that conversation on the air. So many of you have

855
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 1: been focused on baseball, and I get it. I totally

856
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: get it. Tremendous run for the Astros didn't end the

857
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: way we wanted it too. But now we're on the

858
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: football and the baseball hot stove, which is gonna be

859
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: piping hot just a moment here, if it isn't already.

00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: We're always piping hot of here in Texans Radio and

Speaker 1: about this particular matchup. How about our buddy Brennan Scarlett,

865
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: how about Johnny's Keys to the game. And I'm going

866
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: to throw something as well. Next hour on Texans Radio,

867
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermirer John Harris with you Barrel Boyan Banker downtown London.

Speaker 1: The place is rocking Texans and Jaguars at Webley Stadium

869
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and I said, it's like food Ruckers on steroids.

870
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: By the way, we will be at Food Rutgers Tuesday,

871
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: and it's the bye week. Hard to believe. I mean,

872
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: it's there already as the week. I know. It's crazy.

873
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: And Clint Sterner will be our guest Tuesday at six

874
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: at Food Rutgers Greenway. It's gonna be a lot of

875
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: fun to have Clint there and get to know him deeper,

876
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: a lot deeper than you do in the Afternoon Show

877
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: where he does such a trific job, and he's on

878
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: our free game and he's on with you on Wednesdays.

879
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: But we'll dive deep with Clint Sterner Tuesday at six o'clock.

880
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: But this place, look, this is Johnny. I don't even

881
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: know what time of date is for these Texans, because

882
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, here we are at seven o'clock Central. I

883
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: get it, but for them, it's yeah, I guess it is,

884
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: but it's later, it's earlier. It's crazy and they're all

885
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: jet lagged and having a good time, and you know,

886
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: so are we. By the way. But we're on the radio,

887
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: so we have to be fit to be on the air,

888
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: right we I would say we're fit to be on

889
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: the air. I'm a little bit surprised by that. Well,

890
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, one thing we were talking about actually an

891
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,959
Speaker 1: uber and the way over here, we we just flat

892
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: out missed Halloween because we left in the afternoon and

893
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: then we got here it was November first already, so

894
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: we just had which I was a little set. That's

895
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things about Halloween is I just

896
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: kids are way out of HOLLI no, no, I know,

897
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: but for them, I'm just saying selfishly because it's all

898
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: about me. And you'd like to give out the candy

899
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: at the door, I say, at the door, and I

900
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: get to play. I get to play. Uh, there's a

901
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: candy banks. You're coming to the candy bank. And you

902
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: know what this is the super Bowl of holidays for

903
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: the kids. Well, Christmas and Halloween are the two biggest

904
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: kid holidays. My kid was Alexander Hamilton for Halloween for

905
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: him and he was singing lyrics from the show going

906
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood and you know the town crier who

907
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: in the hip hop Hamilton and people who don't know

908
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: what that is. By the way, we have two really

909
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: well dressed Texans fans do the play by play Texas

910
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: flags suits. I mean he's got Jay's on the original

911
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: Jay's with this Texas flag suit, and his wife has

912
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: got the same. Way. Now her shoes are not Jay's.

913
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: She gets his wife. Yeah, she's got cowboy boots that

914
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: are just fantastic. The best thing is the London nurse

915
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: seeing these folks. Yeah, that's it, not just us, but

916
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: London nurse saying, okay, those Americans do love their football.

917
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: They loved that brand. And by the way, my British

918
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: accent here, I'm really sort of hesitant to use it

919
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: around the bride because they're gonna say, oh, another American

920
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: trying to be British. Great, that's so. That's so like

921
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: when I went to Spain, Yeah, I have just enough

922
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Spanish to like just recognize words, and so I, um,

923
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: I was afraid to bring it out though I didn't

924
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: want to embarrass myself, you know, just even like justbarrass

925
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: myself mocking the Brits by doing a Brier. But it's

926
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: like it's not very respectful. I've a feeling, so I

927
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: gotta be careful with that. Anyway, you mentioned we are

928
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: at the barrow boy and banker, and I got to think,

929
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: in what's a barrel boy? Well, so I looked it up.

930
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: A barrel boy is well, it's got two expressions, occupational

931
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: and social. Street traders since the nineteenth century sold seasonal

932
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: goods from two wheeled barrows. London street traders were called costermongers,

933
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: or more generally, barrow boys, since anything could be sold

934
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: from a barrow, including cold clothes, crockery, etc. And banker

935
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: would be the more white collars straight version of it, trader,

936
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: if you will, right. So, yeah, both here's sbara boy

937
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: and backer. Yeah. So it's kind of like like trading places.

938
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: You had Eddie Murphy and you had Randolph in Mortimer,

939
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of all in one Randolph. Okay, look, I know

940
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: we're a little while around in the place, but give

941
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: us a break. Where in London doing a radio show.

942
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: Back to the United States of America and god unless Houston.

943
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I love London, even being here in

944
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: this short time. I am just thanking my lucky stars.

945
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: I live in Texas. I just I love where we

946
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: live and it's great to be here. It's great to

947
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: visit other cities, other cultures, but I love Texas and

948
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: I just thought i'd get that in And I'm not pandering.

949
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: That is the god honest ruth. And I can't wait

950
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: to get hauled after I went on Sunday. Now, Whitney merciless,

951
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: you've heard of him, part of that Front seven, part

952
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: of that pass rush that has to do damage on

953
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: Sunday and the rest of the campaign with no jj

954
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: Watt Drew Doherty had a chance to catch up with Whitney.

955
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: How energizing is it to be in London and to

956
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: get to play in London they get to be in

957
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: front of aferent crowd than you normally are. Yeah, it's

958
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: gonna be exciting, different venue, cross the Pond. Yeah, of

959
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: course that's good. That's a cool thought. And also I

960
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: hear those fans are like absolutely crazy. Just talking to

961
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: a few guys around the league who've done that travel

962
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: a few times, and I'm excited to get in front

963
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: of that crowd. See how crazy it is. The atmosphere

964
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's not too cold. Hopefully it's not too cold.

965
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: It's a little bit chilly this time here, but nothing

966
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: you can't handle. You've played in much colder environments, and

967
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about how this season has been for you.

968
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: What's the deal do you have? Is there like a

969
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: magnet in your body now because you're around the ball

970
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: all the time, it seems what's going on? Buddy? No, man,

971
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: you know what, God just designed that way for this year.

972
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, this is my thought. I

973
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: just want to get around the ball, just make sure

974
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: that I'm creating or impacting the game somehow, just to

975
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: get the ball back to the back to the offense,

976
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: whatever it is is stripping it, intersecting it, or recovering

977
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: a fumble, pretty much like it just happens to be

978
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: just right there. And so I just want to try

979
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: to continue that forward. You know, it's a slowdown just

980
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it's all good. It's been fun

981
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: seeing you play so well, and it's also been fun

982
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: seeing these celebrations afterwards. You're part of quote unquote the

983
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: Rock Boys. Can I know mostly what it is, but

984
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: for those that haven't heard it, can you kind of

985
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: explain where that came from, who the Rock Boys are

986
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: and what's going on with all that? Oh? Of course

987
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: I would love to elaborate rock Boys. It's a great

988
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,760
Speaker 1: shout out for everybody in the in the linebacker group itself.

989
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: So b Max the manager, he came up with it,

990
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: you know, the name. But to go back to how

991
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: it actually started was during training camp. Yeah, it's like, okay, man,

992
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: we make these like great plays, you know, sacks and

993
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: all that, and guys are celebrating individually. So it's like,

994
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: how do we get because everybody's involved in the play

995
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: to make it happen, right, so how do we get

996
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: more people involved and do like a group celebrations. So

997
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: we just it was just me and Scarlett. We just

998
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: messed around and it was just like, you know, we're

999
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: just playing a guitar air guitar and all that. Then

1000
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: Bmac jumped in and then now it just snowballed. And

1001
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: then finally Bmac came up with a name for it,

1002
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: and we've just been rocking with it ever since. And

1003
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: so outside linebackers are the rock Boys, right, Bam active manager. Okay,

1004
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: that's how it is. And then we got a collaboration

1005
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: with the LPC crew. Yeah. The LPC crew is obviously

1006
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 1: the lunch pill crew kind of the interior defensive lineman

1007
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: and you know, Dylan Cole was sitting in your spot

1008
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: about a week ago when we did this interview, and

1009
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: he said he wedged himself into the Rock Boys and

1010
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: he's the drummer because hey, every good band needs a drummer.

1011
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: So that's kind of funny. It's it's an inclusive process

1012
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: for guys that are making place. Oh yeah, no doubt.

1013
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: And also, well we're still looking for that singer as

1014
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: well too. I like it. I like it. Well, how

1015
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: do the Rock Boys, how does the LPC? How do

1016
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: they come together and compensate for the loss of a

1017
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: guy like jj Watt? I know you don't, you know,

1018
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: replace a guy like that one on one, but you

1019
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: gotta do things a little bit differently now to kind

1020
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: of stem the tide. I suppose, yeah, no doubt. First

1021
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: of all, guys got it now it's the next man

1022
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: up mentality, So Scarlett, let's see Charles Yea Barghivas and

1023
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: also Jacob who got to step up their game as

1024
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: well too, just replacing Way and it's some form of

1025
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: fashion and also just the scheme as far as replacing

1026
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: such a monumental guy on defense as well too. So

1027
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: the thing is we've got to just locking our keys,

1028
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: just play that a whole lot better affect the game

1029
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: in some type of shape or form. And we've got

1030
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: to get a lot of penetration up front in the

1031
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: run game and the past game as well too. So

1032
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's nothing we're going to freak out about.

1033
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: This has happened to us, you know before, and guys

1034
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: stepped up then, and guys are gonna step up now.

1035
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: And probably it doesn't hurt to have a mind like

1036
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: Romeo Cornell's helping orchestrate some of these things too, right Exactly, Romeo,

1037
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna look at it, and I mean, of course

1038
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: they they're already looking at it early on and all that,

1039
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: and so pretty much he's gonna look at what he asks,

1040
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: what the skill set is, and adapt to it. And

1041
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: so that's that's literally what this league is all about,

1042
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: is just adaptation. Yeah, Sunday morning, it'll be Central time,

1043
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: it'll be breakfast with the Texans. You guys will be

1044
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: playing in the middle of the afternoon. So let's talk

1045
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: about the opponent. Gardner Minshew. He's not playing like a

1046
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: rookie who was drafted in the late rounds who's just

1047
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: coming in and has a mustache. This guy can play.

1048
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got them in position, they're doing really well.

1049
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: What was the challenge initially when you and how has

1050
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: he kind of grown over the last month or so? Man? So, Okay,

1051
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is the first time that we faced him,

1052
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: his composure is unusually kind of reminded me of de

1053
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson's composure when he first came into the league, right,

1054
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: And the guy just goes out there with a not

1055
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: care attitude, honestly, and so he's just trying to win

1056
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: a game and he's a competitor and I'd love to

1057
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: see that, and it makes it tough for defenses to

1058
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: contain him. He's good at scrambling, making plays with either

1059
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: his feet or scrambling outside the pocket and throwing balls

1060
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: down field, getting out of sacks as well too, So

1061
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: that'll be challenging. So we've got to be able to

1062
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: contain him. Seeing him grow over the letting you know,

1063
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: the course of the season since we've last seen him,

1064
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: he's done exactly that. His confidence has definitely been boosted

1065
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: more and more and more, and he's been more confident

1066
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,479
Speaker 1: in his level of play and just making some health

1067
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: five plays out there. It's actually impressive for a rookie.

1068
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: And so I think they've done a great job as

1069
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: far as getting him ready to play week to week.

1070
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 1: And you know, he's really embraced the embraced his role

1071
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: as far as that goes. And so we're gonna have

1072
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: to contain him in the pocket, allowing play quarterback, get

1073
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 1: them rattled off the spot and really come we gotta

1074
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 1: we gotta be humming. But first of all, we gotta

1075
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: take care of that run, so we turn them into

1076
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: a one dimensional team. How hard is it to be

1077
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: humming against that offensive line? What have you seen from them? Man?

1078
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: The group? There are some holes in the group that

1079
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: you could take advantage of on one on ones and

1080
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: things like that. They're still solidly at the end of

1081
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: the day, no doubt. And you cannot underestimate your opponent

1082
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 1: because that one time, you know they will get you

1083
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: and flighting you on your back, no question. And so

1084
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: we've got to be great up front. Run some stunts

1085
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 1: things and things to that nature. And so I think

1086
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: all we gotta do is just be conscientious of our

1087
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: rush so we don't get broken off for like a

1088
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: twenty yard run by Minsu himself, You've seen a lot

1089
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: of variations of the AFC South in your time. Is

1090
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: a Texan. I think this has got to be the toughest,

1091
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: most rugged version of it. You know, midway through the

1092
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: season that you've ever seen, right at all four teams

1093
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: are above or at five hundred. Yeah, it's a pretty

1094
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: tough division, man, it is. It is. And you know,

1095
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: saying it's my time coming into the league, you know

1096
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: that there's been some there's been one team that's always dominated,

1097
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: of course, the Colts whatnot and so. But over the

1098
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: course of years, as these teams have built themselves up,

1099
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, with the rosters, with the coaches, the staff

1100
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, it's being it's become super

1101
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: super competitive over the last few years or so. Then

1102
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: that's exactly what you're seeing right now. We need Merciless.

1103
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure talking with you. Best of luck

1104
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: in London against the Jaguars. Knock him dead and we'll

1105
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: talk to you again very very soon, Okay, So I

1106
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: appreciate it, all right. So Johnny Whitney, Merciless has to

1107
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: rush the passer well and he's been doing that well.

1108
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: So that's good news. Setting the edge, yep. Putting pressure

1109
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: around the quarterback. He's going to need some help from

1110
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: his friends to get the jobs done the rest of

1111
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 1: the way, never mind Sunday, it's the rest of the way.

1112
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: I do like that, all right, wats been gone a week?

1113
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: We mentioned that they held the Raiders to ten points

1114
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: after he left the game. That was not bad at

1115
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: all considering where that game appeared to be headed right

1116
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: a while before. They found that a rhythm. And now

1117
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: you have to get Amana who and Martin and everybody

1118
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: else involved, and Scarlet of course, and have them do

1119
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: a good job up front. Well, the one friend that

1120
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: I think has a bigger spot to make sure that

1121
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: Whitney has a good day Sunday is Romeo Cornell, because

1122
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: I do think that Romeo is gonna He's gonna be Look,

1123
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: I think Romeo was already looking for ways to get

1124
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: Whitney free. But now with JJ out, I think it

1125
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: gives him the opportunity to move Whitney to a lot

1126
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 1: of different places and let Whitney finding advantage for himself.

1127
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: And that might be over a guard, it might be

1128
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: over the center, it might be working the outside, might

1129
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: be working some twists and stunts with a Manahuna, guys

1130
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: you already mentioned and you're right, Scarlett a man and

1131
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: who those guys are playing a big role. But I

1132
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: think Romeo plays a huge role in what Whitney is

1133
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: able to do on Sunday against the Jacks. It is

1134
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: a good offensive line, a very good offensive line. Cam

1135
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: Robinson's back at left tackle, and Juan Taylor was a

1136
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: guy that you knew. I really like Juan Taylor. He

1137
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: played for a buddy online in high school at down

1138
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: in high school at Coco Beach High School, Coco High

1139
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: School and just a tremendous player and his knee kind

1140
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: of concerns about his knee, just like Miles Jack dropped

1141
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 1: into second around the Jackon's like going, we'll take him,

1142
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: and he said he is a rock solid right tackle.

1143
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: And when I look at these two teams, that's the

1144
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: one thing that sort of stands out want to look

1145
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: at him is that they've got two tackles for the

1146
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: next how many ever years in Cam Robinson, Juan Taylor

1147
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: and Larrmy Tunso and tight as Howard said it, forget it,

1148
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: as Rapaheel said, those guys are your tackles for a

1149
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 1: long time now. Tunso is I think a much better

1150
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: player than Cam Robinson. Cam Robinson will hold his own

1151
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: and I think he's done a little bit better than

1152
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: I even expected him to do. But when he's gonna

1153
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: have to face Cam Robinson tomorrow, he's got to bring

1154
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 1: out his full array of moves against that big fellow.

1155
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: It's mind boggling to me that you have Minshew playing

1156
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, you have Priscent playing in Indy, you have

1157
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: Tannehill now starting at Tennessee, and you have a division

1158
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: where everybody's five hundred or a ball. Yeah, this should

1159
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: be I'm not gonna say it should be a cakewap

1160
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: all Wait a minute, I just said it. Yeah, Like

1161
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: if he told me that's back in May, guess what Mark,

1162
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: it's Tannehill, Minshew and Precent. What do you think? First

1163
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: of all, I'd say who Minshew? Second of all, I

1164
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: would say that should be a two or three game

1165
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: lead at the halfway point. However, you're in second. And

1166
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this to say anything against the Texans,

1167
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 1: but I'm really propping up the competition here. Give them credit.

1168
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 1: They've done a good job. These are solid teams in

1169
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: your division. I know the competition that has been spectacular

1170
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: for the jackson Titans, but and the Colts last week

1171
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: as well. But give them credit for winning these games. Yeah,

1172
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: no doubt. Now to your point, and I was gonna

1173
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: be mine. The Titans have Carolina on the road, Kansas

1174
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: City a bye week, then Jacksonville at Indie, at Oakland

1175
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: US twice in the Saints. Reality is going to hit

1176
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee at some point, and it hit him right square

1177
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: in the face. Jacksonville's schedule coming into this game wasn't

1178
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: all that difficult after they lost to the Saints and

1179
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Jets when they won those two games.

1180
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: After the bye week, they go to India, they go

1181
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: to Tennessee, then they get Tampa Bay, they get the Chargers,

1182
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: then they're at oak at Atlanta. Atlanta has been garbage,

1183
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: but you never know when they can find it. And

1184
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: then they play the Colts. So they played the Colts

1185
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: twice over the last half of the season, in addition

1186
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 1: to the Chargers, Raiders, et cetera. The Jaguar schedule is

1187
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 1: much easier than the Titans. But that's where we're gonna

1188
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: separate the wheat from the chap if you will, and

1189
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: they got a decision to make. What you do with

1190
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: Nick Foles? What are you gonna do with Nick Foles?

1191
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: With Gardner Minshew going it's a huge game for him

1192
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Well, I menshe plays great. I keep Minshew.

1193
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: If it's just okay, I gotta go to Falls. I

1194
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: paid him a lot of money. That's my thought. Anyway,

1195
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people disagree. Next, we'll see

1196
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: if if we agree on this weekend's games. You and

1197

Speaker 1: the games before they happen, So let's do it next.

Speaker 1: I mean, you and I do extra points today out

1213
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: at the London Irish Rugby Center where their team was practicing. Now,

1214
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: is really how about that all those rugby fields? You

1215
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: know we were thinking is this one club? They used

1216
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: that facility for a lot of tournaments and things like that,

1217
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: and the London Irish I've never even heard of them

1218
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: until now, but that's a heck of a facility. So

1219
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: they got a few bucks to play rugby. Well were

1220
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: you and I talking about this? I think we may

1221
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: have been talking about this. You know. The one thing

1222
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: about having all those fields is the London Irish have

1223
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: a top team, right and then they've got you know,

1224
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: sort of like high school has a varsity jam a sophomore.

1225
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: They kind of have that same thing, but they're all

1226
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,399
Speaker 1: filtered through the London Irish program, you know, and which

1227
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: is the way sports should be. Club team concept. You

1228
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: know my team, Manchester City, I mean they have that,

1229
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: They have a Manchester City Academy. They start with the kids.

1230
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: They are like six seven years old, you know, and

1231
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: they're getting kids that they are coming through that organization,

1232
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: that academy, and they go up all all through the rankings.

1233
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: They play together and they end up. I don't I

1234
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: can't disagree with you about that. I think it's a

1235
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: fantastic thing. I mean, it's it's counter to what we

1236
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: grew up with and it's so much fun to have

1237
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: the school passion and everything. And as we talk about

1238
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: that next segment, I want to get something of your

1239
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on the sense double a stuff with the image

1240
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: and likeness of profitability potential. All right, let's get to

1241
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: this though. NFL games a lot of people like to

1242
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: profit from these. So we talked a lot about the

1243
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: Jaguars and Texans, and we don't pick that one, but

1244
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: we've given you a lot of that matchup and we'll

1245
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: continue to do it before the close up business here tonight.

1246
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: But some of the other games taking place. We talked

1247
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: about the Colts and the Steelers. I think probably enough,

1248
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: I think the Colts probably win that game, but the

1249
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: Steelers have enough Jews to win it. That could be

1250
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: real tight going down the stretch. I think the Cults

1251
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: had a classic trap game scenario last week with the Broccos.

1252
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and anytime you face the Steelers,

1253
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna bring the best out of you. Yeah, I think.

1254
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,919
Speaker 1: I think gon uniform. I don't care how they're doing

1255
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: in their building. I mean, it just brings the best

1256
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: out of you. The Steelers are one point favorite, which

1257
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit surprised by that. I think. I

1258
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: think if now, if I were the firing type, I

1259
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: would fire on the other side because I do think

1260
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: the Colts Arena. That's the thing, though, Johnny, because if

1261
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: you made the Cults favored by anything, Vegas knows this,

1262
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna do all the money's gonna come out on

1263
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh side to cover. So they had to do

1264
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: it like that. Is the Jets Dolphins game the worst game,

1265
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: and from NFL now, it was pretty close a few

1266
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: weeks ago as the Dolphins and the Redskins, and actually

1267
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: turned out to be a close game at the end

1268
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: of field two point conversion cost the Dolphins to win.

1269
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: But you're talking about three matchup. These two teams are garbing. Okay,

1270
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. The Redskins Dolphins game on

1271
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: paper looked worse to me than this. You know what,

1272
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: I know, that's a Super Bowl rematch, two Super bowls, right,

1273
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: but so what that was so long ago. A lot

1274
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: of these people don't remember. Who are NFL consumers now?

1275
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,439
Speaker 1: But to me, the Jets and the Dolphins, even though

1276
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: they're both having terrible years, that's a rivalry game. So

1277
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: there's something about but you know, I hate to say it,

1278
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are tanking so miserably that and and look,

1279
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: I say that without having actual proof except for the

1280
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: third and twenty last week that looked like PROOFI a

1281
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: counselor who tweeted, here's a diagram of what the Dolphins

1282
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: were doing, and they drew a picture of a tank

1283
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: on the telestrator in the giant gap. It was awesome,

1284
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: was great. The game's in Miami and the Jets are

1285
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: favored by three. Now. I watched. I watched, obviously the

1286
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: game last week, the Jets playing the jag The Jets

1287
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: had opportunities in that game. They had opportunities. What scares

1288
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: me a little bit about the Jags is the Jags

1289
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: just said, you know what, We're gonna blitz Darnold's they

1290
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: can't handle it. And they didn't, darnold turn it over.

1291
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: They scored the very next play and went from being

1292
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: a game they could have scored and tied too. Now

1293
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: you're down to two touchdowns. You gotta come on and

1294
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: blitz watch him because as soon as he gets out.

1295
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: That's how I said, Yeah, you'll help five the open guy.

1296
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna pay the price. I think the Jets will

1297
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: win that game, but it would not surprise me. The

1298
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: only reason it would surprise me if the Domphins one.

1299
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I would say, oh my gosh, they are interested in

1300
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: winning a game, and now they're gonna blow their number

1301
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: one pick. Maybe. Yeah, okay, I've got a question for you. Yeah,

1302
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: just out of curiosity, Oh okay, I know why. So

1303
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: late I thought this was a Sunday night game. The

1304
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Packers go to play the Chargers, and I saw nine

1305
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: twenty five pm and I realized it's picking up London Pats.

1306
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: I was like, how did Chargers get two Sunday night games?

1307
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: And they have bandbox against the Steelers and Packers, but

1308
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers seventy one, Chargers three and five,

1309
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: the Packers favored by three and a half. I might

1310
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: be willing to fire on the other side of the charger.

1311
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's something about that, and the chargers

1312
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: are kind of a mess. But I just think at home,

1313
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: they gotta they're gonna find the secret sauce of stuff.

1314
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: At Green Bay. I think, no, it's at it's at

1315
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: the chargers. Oh the charge here, it's at the chargers. Okay,

1316
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: all right, so it's at the chargers. We'll see how

1317
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: that fairs. I'm gonna fire the chargers. I think the

1318
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Packers win it, but the Chargers keep it close. So

1319
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: I would pick the Packers to win, but the Chargers

1320
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: to get inside that number. Should we go Randolphin Mortimer

1321
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: on this one? Okay, I'm gonna say Green Bay by

1322
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: ten and okay, all right, let's do it the huge amount.

1323
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Patriots go to Ravens on Sunday night.

1324
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: This is the one. Yeah. I love this matchup. I

1325
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: love it because Bill Belichick has been running the defense

1326
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. Yeah, and every challenge in his career

1327
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: as a defensive play caller. You know the nineties Bills.

1328
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: You know, he had a he had a game. Planet said, look,

1329
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas carried all night. We gotta shut down to

1330
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: receivers the forty nine Ers the week before that, an

1331
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game in the West Coast offense the Bears

1332
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: the week before that when they were pounding the ball.

1333
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: He's come up with a defensive game plan throughout his career.

1334
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean the Rams in two thousand and one. He

1335
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: and Romeo came up with that plan in the Super Bowl.

1336
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: But this is a whole different animal with Lamar Jackson.

1337
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: It is, and he can do things when things break down,

1338
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: he can make them break down on purpose sometimes and

1339
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: break you down. This is what I really wish I

1340
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: could watch. I'm not gonna be able to. We'll be

1341
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: in the air for this game, so let's just see

1342
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: how it plays out. I'm actually rooting for the Ravens

1343
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: because I want turmoil in the AFC. They can help

1344
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: create it, and then you can take care of your

1345
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: business by playing them and beating them there. Look, they

1346
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: lost to Cleveland at home, but I think they are

1347
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 1: capable of so much better. They're having a good year,

1348
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: so let's see how they handle it. I just you're

1349
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: right about Belichick and the defensive coordinator position that he's

1350
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: he's always really held. I'm sorry even when Patricia whoever

1351
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: else is coaching the d Belichick has his thumb prints

1352
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: all over the game plan. And what I always go

1353
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: back to this the Texans coaching staff in the Kubiak

1354
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: era when they were getting ready to play the Patriots

1355
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: in twelve and one of the offensive coaches told me,

1356
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: he's still one of the greatest defensive coordinators, if not

1357
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: the greatest ever. And that's what you're dealing with as

1358
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: the head coach was in last week's game of the

1359
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: game before where he pulled the whole defense together on

1360
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: the sideline and just eliminated the head coach thing for

1361
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: a moment and was the coordinator on the sideline with

1362
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the defense. Wouldn't you have loved to hear what he

1363
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: was saying to them in that particular moment. Whatever it was,

1364
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: it worked. It's pretty fascinating because if you think about

1365
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: what's happened to him on the defensive side of the

1366
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: ball over the last couple of years, he's lost Matt Patricia,

1367
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,919
Speaker 1: he's lost Brian Flores, he lost his d line coach.

1368
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. He's got Gerard Mayo, who was doing media

1369
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: two years ago. He's got him coaching linebackers. I got

1370
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: a feeling he's a turning defense over to Mayo at

1371
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: some point. His son, Steve Belichick junior Steve Belichick is

1372
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: coaching the safeties. Like it's not as Brett Bielam I

1373
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: remember him in Arkansas, He's coaching in D line. I mean,

1374
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: these are guys that haven't been together for a long time,

1375
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: and yet he's got it going. And I want to

1376
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: just see the plan he comes up with to stop Lamar.

1377
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: Because that offense and how fast he is and what

1378
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: he can do with the ball, you can scheme up

1379
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, but man, I don't know

1380
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: that there's a guarantee that you can stop Lamar fully.

1381
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: But what I want to see is how he attacks

1382
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: him the throwing game, Like what does he do in

1383
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: the passing game to make things tough for Lamar? And

1384
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: then as soon as he stopped him, everybody's gonna freak

1385
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: out and say Belichick's still great, which he is, but

1386
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Lamar's not where he can be as a passer and

1387
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: will be in the future. Give me another game. Okay,

1388
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: we talked about Titans and Panthers already. Okay, here's one.

1389
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: This one it matches two teams that aren't over five

1390
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: hundred yet. But I'm intrigued by this because there's always

1391
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a connection between Mitchell Trubisky, right, and Michelle

1392
01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Watson and Patrick Mahomes. Trubisky takes the Bears into Billy.

1393
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: Billy is a four point favorite at home. Now. I

1394
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: know that Philly has not been great, but Philly went

1395
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: up to Buffalo be the five and one team and

1396
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: beat him. That was a surprise to me. And I

1397
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: picked Buffalo in that game, and I almost convinced a

1398
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: plane to go against his gut pick of Philly. He

1399
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: was right, congratulations, General. Yeah, but they're going to And

1400
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: not only did they going to beat Buffalo, they ran

1401
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: it for well over two hundred yards on Buffalo, which

1402
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: which is weird. I'm very weird. But now the Bears

1403
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 1: come in and the Bears have got some defense. But

1404
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Trubisky just to me, I can't I can't come to

1405
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: grips with what he's gonna do. And I know at

1406
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: some point, because we used to get asked questions about that. Hey, guys,

1407
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: is coach O'Brien gonna continue with Oswatten? Is he going

1408
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: to continue with Hoyer? Is he gonna continue with this quarterback.

1409
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: When those questions get asked, it basically means no one's

1410
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: got answers to it. And the defense then starts to

1411
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: get frustrated because it feels like we've got to make

1412
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: every stop, we gotta make every play because we know

1413
01:05:58,000 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: offensively they're not gonna get it done. I think Philly

1414
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: wins this by well more than four. All right, Next up,

1415
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: a little bit from our buddy J. P. Shadrick on

1416
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: this matchup. And look, we want to go. Jack's heavy

1417
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: as far as the scouting goes, and some of this

1418
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: stuff is just so valuable from people who have been

1419
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: here to London many times. What to look out for,

1420
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 1: what not to look out for. It's gonna be Sunday

1421
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadiums. Don't forget eight thirty kickoff. One more

1422
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: segment coming your way on Texans All Access. Hello again, Texans,

1423
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: And we are in a downtown London pub, barrow Boy

1424
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: and Banker. It's called And I've looked at so many

1425
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: pictures of this place to scout out where we'd be broadcasting,

1426
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: and I never even thought we'd be where we are,

1427
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: So that goes to show you can prepare all you

1428
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: want and you just don't know how things are gonna go.

1429
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: It's nuts in here with all these Texans who have

1430
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: come overseas and this is just a smidge of them.

1431
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: This city is peppered with people wearing the bullhead and

1432
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: it is a delight. Mark Vandermaer and John Harris with you.

1433
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: It really is fun to see. Joan, it's cool you

1434
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: said that. I started like, Wow, I got tills when

1435
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: you said that, because it is it comes support their team.

1436
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of these fans are also Astros fans,

1437
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: and so I've talked to a number of them that

1438
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: were on a flight and they didn't know what happened

1439
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: to the Astros. They took off, they're up to nothing.

1440
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: They didn't know what happenedntill they landed, you know. But

1441
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: they came over here wanted to support the Texans, and man,

1442
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 1: they are in here in full effect. I mean, it's

1443
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: it's been really really cool to see. It has been indeed,

1444
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: and it continues to be And tomorrow is gonna be

1445
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: another big day of prep. I'll put that in air

1446
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: quotes for these fans as the shit ready to see

1447
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: their team take on the Jaguar Sunday morning at eight

1448
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: thirty at Wembley Stadium. And Wembley, by the way, is

1449
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 1: a historic name for a stadium, but this is a

1450
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 1: rebuild of the stadium at oh seven. Yeah, they put

1451
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: it back up. The old place had a lot of memories,

1452
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: had some NFL games preseason, but they went to the

1453
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: regular season schedule here once they built the new joint.

1454
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful looking stadium. I was talking to Drew earlier.

1455
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Drew went on a tour buddy Joe Palis, who was

1456
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: shooting a little bit at the beginning. He also had

1457
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: a chance of going that tour, and they were really impressed,

1458
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: really impressed with what has come out of There's a

1459
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: part of me and you know him. I love all

1460
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: the old stadiums, Like one of my favorites to go

1461
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 1: to is the Oakland Media Coliseum, but we'll never go

1462
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: back there, at least not in the near future. I

1463
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: love going in there because all the history that was

1464
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: in that building. That's I love that. I would like

1465
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: to walk into Wembley and gone, all right, that's where

1466
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury played Live Aid. That's where you know, that's

1467
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: where Live Aid happened. You know, all that kind of

1468
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 1: stuff that was, you know, the great soccer matches had

1469
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: always taken place, and Wembley still carries that name, especially

1470
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: in the soccer community. Oh it's Wembley. Well, Wembley's a

1471
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: big deal. It's kind of like Madison Square Gardener the

1472
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: same name and rebuild of the old garden which had

1473
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: so many great events and boxing and all this other stuff.

1474
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,560
Speaker 1: Even in the Cinderella Man movie James Brown, Yeah, his biopick,

1475
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 1: they have the garden in there and I fight something

1476
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Arden or whatever. It's great stuff. But this is cool

1477
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: because you have so much NFL action happening lately. I thought,

1478
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: and I wrote about this this week on The Daily

1479
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: Brew on Wednesday, I thought that this might be one

1480
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: of the first, if not the first Division games overseas,

1481
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: But no, there have been five, and as recently as

1482
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when you had the Panthers

1483
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: beat the Bucks. So hey, it happens, and the Texans

1484
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: of course had the Mexico City game in twenty sixteen.

1485
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: You want to talk to historic stadiums. That was cool

1486
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: to be in the Studiosteca, even though the place is

1487
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: not exactly stay of the yard. You think about the

1488
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: hand of God, you think about it, some of the

1489
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: other great events they've had their my goodness. So it's

1490
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: a treat to be here for us, and we're taking

1491
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: you along for the ride on Texans Media, radio, TV,

1492
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: all our social media stuff. You know. Clich Sterner said

1493
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,560
Speaker 1: something the other day to me. It was something that

1494
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I had heard him say prior to And I think

1495
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: about this a lot, because we both got into football

1496
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: because we love. You love what you do. I love

1497
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: what I do. We love doing it together. And I

1498
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: think about I've been in the building since fourteen, the

1499
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: places that I've been because of football, because of the NFL.

1500
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,719
Speaker 1: I mean, we're here tonight because we're playing a game

1501
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're in London. I mean I've

1502
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: been to London, in Mexico City, in San Francisco, New

1503
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 1: York and all these tremendous cities around the world because

1504
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: of football. And I mean, it's just amazing. And Clinton

1505
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: talked about that. He said, you know us from the

1506
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: wrong side of the tracks, basically in Baytown. And I

1507
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,600
Speaker 1: never thought that I would be able to see the

1508
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: things that I have in my life, but because of

1509
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: the game of football. I played in Arkansas, I played

1510
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys. I played in places around the world.

1511
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 1: He played in Amsterdam, he played you know. I asked

1512
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: him whether they played in London or played in this area,

1513
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: and he said no, they played in Scotland, you know,

1514
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: and he talked about that experience. So I mean, it

1515
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: just is incredible what football ends up doing for all

1516
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: of us. So if you think all these fans here, yeah, like,

1517
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: we don't. I said this, you know, speaking at at

1518
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: a battle of Heinwood's function, I said, you know, without

1519
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Bob McNair, none of us like, none of us, none

1520
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: of us are here. Without Bob, we don't. We don't

1521
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: have any of this. We're now the traveling Texans don't exist.

1522
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: We don't. We exist, but we don't exist in this capacity.

1523
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: But Bob made that possible. And Jamie Roots likes to

1524
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,759
Speaker 1: say that nothing brings people together like the sport of football,

1525
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe over here would be football, but

1526
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: football in Houston, Houston's the most diversity in America. People

1527
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: come together with the Houston Texans and it's such a

1528
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,679
Speaker 1: great rallying point. All right. So you brought up something

1529
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 1: that was interesting with Clint saying he owes so much

1530
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: to the game. It brought him places he never thought

1531
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: he'd be able to go, seeing things he's thought, he well,

1532
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: he thought he would never be able to see. But Chinning,

1533
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: let me go here with this. It applies to the

1534
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: NCAA thing this week about being able to make money

1535
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: on your likeness or whatever endorsement possibilities for NCAA athletes.

1536
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 1: Friends of mine in college football have always said, look,

1537
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: I think the education does have tremendous value. I think

1538
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: for some players it's not a a compensation point for them.

1539
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: I think for most it is, but for some it is.

1540
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: And what do you make of the new ruling and

1541
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: how it's gonna play out? Well, I always go back

1542
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: to a story that Chris Webber told Mitch Album and look,

1543
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: I do think there was some hypocrisy with Chris Webber

1544
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: and some of the things he said. But he had

1545
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: gone into a McDonald's and he had placed in order

1546
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: and the woman said, okay, that'll be you know, eight

1547
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: dollars or whatever was. He reached his pocket. Do you

1548
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: realize he only had five? And he said, hey, okay,

1549
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: take this off and take this off, And he said,

1550
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 1: you know what, Mitch, I gotta do that. And you

1551
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: look across there's the bookstore selling my jersey. His name's

1552
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 1: not on the jersey, but selling his jersey number for

1553
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. It's Michigan number four. Well, you know

1554
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: that's Chris Webber. And the only reason people are buying

1555
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: it is because it is Chris Webber. And I know

1556
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: there are a lot of a lot of you know,

1557
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people are and I think about that

1558
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 1: part of it. But there's you know, people are buying

1559
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: T shirts, they're buying jerseys with number of a player.

1560
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: Why did Texas at M fans buy jerseys that said

1561
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: number two on them? What was one guy? It was

1562
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: one guy? And we live in a free market place

1563
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: in the United States that if there's value there, you know,

1564
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: if somebody wants to pay for your autograph, you should

1565
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: be able to make money for that. I don't care

1566
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: what role. Yeah, well I agree. I just think it's

1567
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: gonna be very hard to regulate. That's the hard party.

1568
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:28,759
Speaker 1: That's the hard part is now how do you regulate?

1569
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: But at least I will say this, they're thinking about

1570
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: what they can do to regulate it. Yeah, and they

1571
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: listen They've had handshake a hundred dollar handshakes and side

1572
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 1: agreements for years and they've never been able to regulate

1573
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,759
Speaker 1: that perfectly. They won't be able to regulate this perfectly.

1574
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: But maybe with some of this, the players are gonna say, look,

1575
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: I can do it above board or I can take

1576
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: this under the table payment yep, And maybe they choose

1577
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 1: to do it above board now and you don't have

1578
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: some of that hangers on get involved that don't need

1579
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:02,759
Speaker 1: to be there. All right, Let's get to our buddy

1580
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: from the Jaguars, JP Shadrick. He covers them pre him

1581
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: post game, does a whole bunch of Jack's media. We

1582
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:12,799
Speaker 1: love him, and he visited with Deep about some things

1583
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: in regard to this matchup Sunday in Wembley. Let's talk

1584
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 1: about Gardner Minshew. Now he's got thirteen touchdowns, two interceptions,

1585
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: and he's broken I don't know, like a million more

1586
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: rookie records since the Texans faced him in a week two.

1587
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: How have you seen him progress over the last seven games?

1588
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: What's changed at about Minshew now that he's got some

1589
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:34,759
Speaker 1: more experience in hers built It's funny, there's not a lot.

1590
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's seen probably a few more different looks

1591
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 1: on defense. There's going to be something that surprises him

1592
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 1: here and there, right, and a different look or a

1593
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: different blitz concept or whatever. But he's still the same

1594
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: guy who was in Houston week two and week one

1595
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: when he came in against Kansas City. Well, now you

1596
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 1: just have a little more belief that something good's gonna happen.

1597
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Then you had no idea. Who knows what's gonna happen

1598
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: with this kid? Right? And then he lives down the

1599
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 1: field and scores a touchdown in Houston, and if it

1600
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,560
Speaker 1: wasn't for the two point try, then you know, you

1601
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: go to overtime. Who knows, But they lost that football game,

1602
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: but you saw a little spark and then it happened again.

1603
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: And then they go to Denver and win, and he

1604
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: rallies them back from a late score that the defense

1605
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: gave up and they went on the road in Denver,

1606
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: tough place to play. So he's doing things. He's he's

1607
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: got great awareness of the scheme and where guys are

1608
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: going to be. He when he is pressured, he can

1609
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 1: keep his head up and look down field. He's great

1610
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: in his progressions. I think that that keeping the head

1611
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: up thing is really important because especially for a rookie quarterback,

1612
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean you're used to a guy ducking and covering

1613
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 1: right for when there's pressure, any flash of the other

1614
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: colored jersey, he's going to go down right. Well, this

1615
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: guy gets out of the way, keeps it alive somehow,

1616
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: keeps his eyes down field, and receivers get open and

1617
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: make plays for him too. So you have all that

1618
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: combination together. It is exciting to watch. I'm curious how

1619
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: much longer we'll get to watch it. And that's the

1620
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: big debate. Deep you down here right now? Hi? You

1621
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: were you're leading into my next question JP Nick Foles. Yeah, no, no,

1622
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: you're reading my mind. He's it's about that time for

1623
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,759
Speaker 1: nick Foles. So it's it's going to be a pretty

1624
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 1: big decision for the Jags. Where do you see it going.

1625
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: He's he's eligible week eleven, Okay, so I think officially

1626
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,640
Speaker 1: would be eligible week ten, but the Jags have a

1627
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: bye that week, so week eleven against the Colts. So

1628
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: if Minshew comes out and throws for three to fifty

1629
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns in Wimbley on Sunday against the Texans

1630
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: against a win against the division rival, and the Jags

1631
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: are five and four and he's five and three as

1632
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: a starter, can you pull him out? Well, this offense

1633
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: was built for Nick Foles, right, I mean, so, do

1634
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: you ride the wave and try to get through the

1635
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: middle part of this season with a hot quarterback and

1636
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: a defense that's starting to come into its own, or

1637
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: do you shake it up and put Foles in there

1638
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: and hope he's at his peak performance, you know, in

1639
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: a time where he has to be right, because if

1640
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: they don't get through the middle part of the schedule,

1641
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 1: the next month December won't matter because you're gonna lose

1642
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: three division games, then you're not gonna be you know,

1643
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: the five games in December, three at home, or you're

1644
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: you're playing uphill the rest of the way. So it's

1645
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: really about what gives them the best chance to win

1646
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: the next month's worth of worth of games, and then

1647
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out. If they try him and he

1648
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: at some point does fail and doesn't look as sharp,

1649
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: then you make the move. Because I think if you

1650
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: if you make the move and unmake the move, then

1651
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: you're flopping quarterbacks and you have two quarterbacks you don't

1652
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: have one. That's a whole issue for me. I'm kind

1653
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: of split. I'll be honest with you. It's really tough.

1654
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 1: And the analysts here that we have on our shows

1655
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: that it's you just don't have a feel for it yet,

1656
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: And Doug Morone says publicly he hasn't thought about it.

1657
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I think that delay. I think he has a gut

1658
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: feeling what he wants to do. But hey, it's the

1659
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 1: hot hand. And then you got a guy who's come

1660
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 1: off the bench in key situations late in seasons before

1661
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: or lead a team to the promised Land. So who knows.

1662
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: The next two weeks will be just fascinating to see

1663
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 1: what they come up with. That. It's funny that Nick

1664
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 1: Foles always finds himself in that situation where even if

1665
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: he's meant to be the starter, he's going to come

1666
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 1: off the bench in December or a time like maybe

1667
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 1: maybe he will, maybe he won't for Jacksonville and make

1668
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: things happen. I know the Texans saw him last year

1669
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: against Philly, and boy does he look good late in

1670
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 1: the season. I got to say, all right, let's talk

1671
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: about before I let you go. Leonard Fournette. We saw

1672
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: what he's done over the last few years. But man,

1673
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: he's really having a season. Leads the AFC, ranked second

1674
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL with seven hundred ninety one rushing yards

1675
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: on the season. What are your thoughts on the season

1676
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: that he's having so far. Do you think he sustains

1677
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 1: it for the rest of the year. He's well on

1678
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: his way. You know. The one thing, he just hasn't

1679
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 1: scored much. He's had one touchdown all year, so that's

1680
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: bothered him. You can tell he's just a different cat altogether.

1681
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about on the field. That's

1682
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 1: obvious with the numbers and he's leading the league and

1683
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 1: attempts as well. I mean they're running him a lot,

1684
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: and he's got a great average and he's getting good

1685
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: yardage abbot in production and every thing. But his attitude

1686
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: and the way he goes about his day to day

1687
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 1: business has changed. You gotta remember the last time we

1688
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: saw Leonard Fournette in twenty eighteen, He's sitting on the

1689
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: bench down there in your place, and with t J.

1690
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: Yelden alongside him, sitting on the bench during offensive drives.

1691
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't active. TJ was, and they were

1692
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: just kind of it was a moping basically, and Tom

1693
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: Coughlin made a public statement after the game chastising both

1694
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: of them, basically, right, So he's in the doghouse basically

1695
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: at that point. Then he goes to Wyoming to go

1696
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: with his old college strength and conditioning coach to kind

1697
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: of get away from New Orleans, get away from here,

1698
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:41,560
Speaker 1: see if he can get back on track physically. He

1699
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: had gotten a little big, you know, So that's one thing. Okay,

1700
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: it's a good start. Then he gets arrested in April

1701
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: for a suspended license and some other traffic violations. Kind

1702
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: of a wake up call, Okay, what am I doing? Like,

1703
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: let me get my thing in order here, And he said,

1704
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: and he said this the other day, actually that that

1705
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of woke him up. So he's focused a little

1706
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 1: more on everything off the field, focused more on football.

1707
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: And you can tell like he's actually he's a pleasure

1708
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: to talk to this year. He was not great with

1709
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: the media at all last year. Very short, one word answers,

1710
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, very very short. Not much you're gonna get

1711
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: out of him. This year, he's you can chat him

1712
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: up after the press conference. He's engaged, he's locked in,

1713
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: he's a he's a different guy, and I think that

1714
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: shows up on the field too, so everything around him

1715
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 1: is different. It's an unbelievable turnaround from last year when

1716
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: there was talk of you gotta get this guy out

1717
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: of here right Well, now, it's what would they be

1718
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: without him? They wouldn't be four and four. I could

1719
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: tell you that even with what Gardnerman She's doing, it's

1720
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: a dramatic turnaround, and it's I think it's saved at

1721
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: least the first half of the season, and I don't

1722
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: see any signs of slowing down. All right, Johnny on

1723
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: the way out, Let's get to some keys here Sunday.

1724
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: What's they're gonna take to go six and three? The

1725
01:20:58,240 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: Texas of it six and three before they were six

1726
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: and three last year, Yep, there were six and three

1727
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,719
Speaker 1: and twenty sixteen. Six and three is a good start

1728
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: after nine, Let's see if they can get it. What's

1729
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,600
Speaker 1: it gonna take? Well, I think on the offense, on

1730
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: the defensive side, you can't allow Mitsche Mannie to go

1731
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 1: run it wild over you, and that is Gardner Mitsche

1732
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: creating outside the pocket gap discipline. On the run defense,

1733
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 1: you gotta do that. You gotta be hugged up on

1734
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: receivers You cannot allow those rub routes to just knock

1735
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: you off. You cannot allow that this week. You've been

1736
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: at this now for a few weeks to seeing all that.

1737
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: Because you're playing a lot of man, right, You've gotta

1738
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: be able to get a hit, pocket and run and

1739
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: not get picked off. How do you do that with

1740
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 1: some of the losses or the absences you have on

1741
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: these back end, Well, you can still play man, but

1742
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 1: you gotta hug up on these guys. You gotta get

1743
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 1: up on these guys and make sure if you're gonn

1744
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 1: run a crossing route that I'm not gonna give room.

1745
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go cut that room off right so that

1746
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: you don't get picked off. And if they do pick

1747
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: you off at that point, it will end up being OPI.

1748
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: So that's one thing you gotta do on the offensive

1749
01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: side of the ball. I think the step ablishing the

1750
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: physical mindset that you did in the first half against

1751
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: them doing that again and then figure out who's covering

1752
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and how are they gonna cover them. Is

1753
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: it gonna be Boyer one on one? Is he gonna

1754
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: be Trey Herndon with some help? And then attack it

1755
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: early and see what you can get out of it,

1756
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: and then if you don't get much out of it,

1757
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 1: then you've got other weapons that you can go to

1758
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: and do not forget about your RPEO packages at darren Fels.

1759
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: What do we say every week about this offense? Though?

1760
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: Every week? Score early score in your first drive for

1761
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: thet this year. Wouldn't that be great? Grab an early

1762
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: lead and go ahead and take it to them, right?

1763
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, too many times and look they've won five games,

1764
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 1: they've lost three, but too many times they're down. They

1765
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: got to come back. There's a lot of pressure. Look

1766
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: it's fine, they've responded to it more often than not.

1767
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 1: That's terrific. But wouldn't it be great to not be

1768
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: in that position, to be in the position of having

1769
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: a lead right and just taking care of business. Maybe

1770
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 1: getting up two scores right and putting it, pushing the

1771
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 1: pedal to the metal and riding it to the finish.

1772
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 1: That would be fun. That would be fun. I would

1773
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 1: like to have a calm, cool game. But I said

1774
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,879
Speaker 1: to you and Andre in a break right before kickoff

1775
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: as we were getting ready to go, it's like, all right,

1776
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,639
Speaker 1: buckle up because it's gonna be three hours of three

1777
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: hours plus of highly intense, stressful football, and it's gonna

1778
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 1: be like that tomorrow. But if you come out and

1779
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 1: hit them right in the mouth a few times and

1780
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: you back off Saxonville a little bit, keep doing it,

1781
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 1: keep taking it to them, and see how they're gonna response,

1782
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: See how Gardner Mitchhew's gonna respond. And then don't take

1783
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: your foot off the throat. Don't take your foot off

1784
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: the throat. All right, Johnny, thank you gotta Mark, that's

1785
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Here we can barely hear ourselves at

1786
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: the Barrow Boyan Banker. It's like third down at NRG

1787
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: Stadium during a playoff game. The intensity here and I'm

1788
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: not exaggerating this place is deafening. And it's fun to

1789
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 1: be here with all these Texans fans, and it's been
