Jack 37 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Easter be no longer with the organization. And in cal 38 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: McNair's statement, there was talk about duties moving forward around 39 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: football operations. What light can you shed on that for us? Yeah, 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, tough day for a lot of people in 41 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: the organization. You know, Jack had a lot of impact, 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people do a lot of good things 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: for organization in the period that he was here, So 44 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: certainly it's important to acknowledge that and respect that. You know, 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: we'll look at things just from a football operation perspective 46 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: and allocate the responsibilities accordingly. It'll be some heavy lifting 47 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: that will kind of have to redistribute, but you know, 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: we'll do the best we can moving forward and just 49 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: try to make sure that we're doing things that are 50 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: required a week to week to make sure that we're 51 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: prepared both on the field and then behind the scenes 52 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: kind of logistically. Nick during Toby and know there's always 53 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: talking about self scout and all that kind of stuff, 54 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that got done as you went through 55 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: and self scouted And did you have an opportunity to 56 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: see games, go watch players. How did you spend the 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: bye week? Yeah, a little bit of everything, you know, 58 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: did some housekeeping on kind of our team. I think 59 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: it's important always to kind of take inventory of your 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: team where you are, whether it's players individual players, whether 61 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: there's things schematically that you're doing well, where there's some 62 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: areas they might be able to improve. You really want 63 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: to focus on your teams much as possible, and really, 64 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: more than anything, maybe kind of getting a jump on 65 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: the preparation and relative to the next opponents. So obviously 66 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: for spend a lot of time on Vegas and be 67 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: able to work on them a little bit and kind 68 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: of get ahead on Tennessee as well. They were actually 69 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: in the bye as well, so there's no game for 70 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: them to play m Philadelphia kind of following the Tennessee 71 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: game on the short week. So I think, more than anything, 72 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: trying to stay ahead on some of the preparation relative 73 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: the next opponents, and then the information from a college 74 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: standpoint is very fluid and that continues, and just trying 75 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: to stay as up to date as possible on that. 76 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: On a Sunday, we talked about this because sometimes on 77 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: the Sunday we don't really know what to do, like 78 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: what do we do Like of a bye week, Yeah, 79 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: we get that figured out, but on a bye week, 80 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: so we talk about watching red zone? Do you watch 81 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: red zone? Do you ever watch it? I don't have 82 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: red zone, so I wouldn't be able. Have you ever 83 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: seen it? Do you? I've seen it? Just in passing 84 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: when you're going up in the press box seeing the 85 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: different games. But honestly, I mean we have it playing 86 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: throughout the building as well, where teams have games kind 87 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: of rotate there a little bit. But I probably should 88 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: be saying this, but I don't have red zone packets, 89 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, I get more out of watching just the 90 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: actual film. Once the tape comes in, then you can 91 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: really focus on some of the things and make your 92 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: comments on the opposing players. I can totally see that 93 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: not being your thing, like the focus, Like, I could 94 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: totally see that because it's just from bounce, bounce, bunt. 95 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: It's great for the fans. It's a tool really, it's 96 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: a great tool for the fans that want to kind 97 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: of stay up on the various teams, kind of their teams, 98 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: see what's going on around the league. And I think 99 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: sometimes you can it's a little too much. So I 100 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: try to focus on one thing and it's a little 101 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: bit easier that way. Following a bye, what's your thought? 102 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: What does the data say? Whatever the data there is 103 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: on rust versus rest coming off a weekend off, it's 104 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: got to be beneficial overall, But what are your thoughts? Yeah, 105 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: any time the players have a chance to recover it's 106 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: going to be beneficial, and you don't get really many 107 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: opportunities during the course of the year because you're kind 108 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: of going through normal course of the week. Play game 109 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and then you go through Monday through Saturday, 110 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: and then you can play the game and then you 111 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: kind of transition. So it's an opportunity for the players 112 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: to kind of decompress there a little bit. And I 113 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: think once we came in the building yesterday, got on 114 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: the practice feel a little bit, and most importantly, just 115 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: gotta got them moving a little bit and off today 116 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: and then we'll kind of transition back to a normal Wednesday, Thursday, 117 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Friday preparation, travel on Saturday, and get ready to play 118 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. So anytime you have an opportunity 119 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: to kind of take the foot off the gas here 120 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: a little bit, it's beneficial as long as you use 121 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: it wisely. But you still want to stay from a 122 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: players standpoint, you want to stay active, like you don't 123 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: want to do nothing. You want to stay active, but 124 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: they're just not as much physical demands as normally are 125 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: placed on you on a normal weekend. Nick facing the 126 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: Raiders and I want to dive into the Raiders. But 127 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: you got a couple of really close friends that are 128 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: running the organization right now, Josh from Daniels and David Ziegler. 129 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: Because you've been in the league as long as you have, 130 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: it feels like everybody knows everybody in some sense. So 131 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: it feels like your acquaintances maybe with a lot of people, 132 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: but these are two guys that you know very very well. 133 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: What's that like not only playing them, but preparing to 134 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: play them knowing you know the things you know about 135 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: them and what they know about you over the years. 136 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: How does that kind of plan into a week like 137 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: this against the Raiders. Yeah, it's talked about a lot 138 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: because you look around the league and there's a lot 139 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: of relationships that are developed a lot of people in 140 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: the building with each other, and then they kind of 141 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: leave and they kind of spread their wings and go elsewhere. 142 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: So just have a lot of personal respect and professional 143 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: respect for both Dave and Josh on our relationship and 144 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean both both individuals goes back a long way 145 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: nine ninety six when we were together at John Carroll 146 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: and there's some other folks in the building had the 147 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: opportunity to work together with in New England ball. Jerry 148 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Shiplinsky is a close friend of mine. Patrick Graham on 149 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: the defensive staff, so there's a lot of people that 150 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: have familiarity. But ultimately it's going to come down to 151 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: the players' ability to execute on the field. So understanding 152 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: what they're doing schematically in all three phases and being 153 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: able to take that information and part of the players. 154 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Ultimately that's going to supersede anything else. But I mean, 155 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: really a lot of respect and appreciation for you know, 156 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: both of them, you know what they've done over the 157 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: course of their career, our working relationship, you know, and 158 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: really the relationship goes a lot deeper than just kind 159 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: of surface level football. So certainly wishing them well. I 160 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: think they're putting together a good team and a good program. 161 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have an opportunity to be very 162 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: successful here moving forward. You're gonna face opposition each week 163 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: and they just so happen to be on the other side. So, 164 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure will our relationship will continue beyond 165 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, the one game and in the interaction. But 166 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: how difficult is it If it's difficult at all to 167 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: block those things out while the game is in progress? 168 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: Does all of that sort of melt away and it's 169 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: just about the players on the field. Yeah, you have to. 170 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you'll exchange your pleasantries either before or after 171 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: the game, and then what goes on on the field. Really, 172 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: it's going to come down to the execution of what 173 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: your players do. So do we do better in those 174 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: situations than their team and in the end, that's what's 175 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: going to be the biggest difference in the game. So 176 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: let's dive into the Raiders. Derek Carr quarterback, Davante Adams, 177 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: that wide receiver. I mean, the names are known throughout 178 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: the league, but Max Crosby is arguably the best edge 179 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: dresser right now in the league. Mean, he's been phenomenal 180 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: on the other sides, a guy who's been doing it 181 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: for a long time. Who you know, Chandler Jones talks 182 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: about the Raiders. What do you see from the Raiders? Yeah, 183 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: really a lot of high end how this is a 184 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: very talented team. They made a lot of key acquisitions 185 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: in the offseason, whether there's trades or whether it was 186 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: extending some of their players internally, and I think they 187 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: spent I mean over three hundred million dollars or some 188 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of money and made significant commitments to some 189 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: really good players, so present a lot of challenges offensively. 190 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: You know, Josh is a very game plan specific coach. 191 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: And you'll see them in eleven personnel, you'll see them 192 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: in twenty one personnel, you see them in Jubble personnel. 193 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: So whatever they have to do, I think Jacobs is 194 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: kind of underneath the surface quietly one of the better 195 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: backs in the league. And I think you saw that 196 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: on display in a Kansas City game. I mean they 197 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: were you know, he ran about twenty five thirty times 198 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: whatever it was, and it couldn't tackle him. So there's 199 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: an example actually going back when you look at him 200 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: as a player coming out, didn't have as many opportunities 201 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: relative to some of the other backs that they had 202 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: on campus, but when he played, you could see his 203 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: skill level and his actual production. He was as productive 204 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: in the passing game as he was as a runner. 205 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: So multipurpose back that's got good lower body strength, good 206 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: center lower center gravity, breaks a lot of tackles, he's 207 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: hard to tackle, and you know he's a good athlete 208 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: in space. So and they do a good job in 209 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: a running game. You know, Yach's been a nice addition 210 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: to them m giving them some flexibility in versatility in 211 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: terms of a full back spot. So good backs, you know, 212 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: good stable backs, really good quarterback. You know, Derek's been 213 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: as consistent a quarterback and had a durable a quarterback 214 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: as any in the league. And Davante has been one 215 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: of the best receiver in the league for you know, 216 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: a number of years now, and you know, extended Waller 217 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: in the offseason where Waller's an interesting study as well. 218 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: So here's the guys. Six round draft pick played in 219 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: kind of a triple option wishbone offense at Georgia Tech, 220 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: so you didn't see a lot of production. You know, 221 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: it gets drafted by Baltimore in a sixth round as 222 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: a receiver and eventually kind of transitions to tight end. 223 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: And I'd say similar to Crosby's kind of dealt with 224 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: some things on a personal levels, being able to persevere 225 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: and a credit to him. And I mean he presents 226 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: a lot of problems because he's big, he's fast, and 227 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: he's a huge target for the quarterback moving across the field, 228 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: so he presents a matchup issues. So Renfro is good 229 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: inside of formation, Moreau is probably a good complimentary tight 230 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: end to Waller Um and they've kind of had some 231 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: moving parts, you know, on the offensive line, so present 232 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: some challenges offensively, and like we talked about last week, 233 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Crosby's a menace whatever phase he plays, so 234 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: it's on defense, punt block, field goal rush, um. And 235 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: then Chandler has been as productive edge player in the 236 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: league as there's been for a number of years. And 237 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: then Diablo is a guy, you know, kind of underrated, 238 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: made the transition from safety to off the ball linebacker, 239 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, leads a team and tackles you know, long 240 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: athletic range, having with good players in the secondary. I 241 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: know they put Hobbs in ir yesterday kind of play 242 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: with broken hand or whatever it was. So and they 243 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: play a lot of nickel defense, so kind of in 244 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: the defensively with Patrick and very scheme specific, game plan specific, 245 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: so they're kind of mirrors of each other offensively in 246 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: defense and in terms of how they want to approach 247 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: a game. Um in a kicking game presents some challenges 248 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: as well. So this is a good football team. I mean, 249 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: I know what their record is, but it's really good 250 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: football team. A lot of good players, So you know, 251 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: we're going to certainly have our work cut out for us. 252 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: Comes Sunday, Crosby New Baby, right, we could be looking 253 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: at sleep deprivation, all right, So there's that Guy's incredible. 254 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: We'll keep our eye out Nick going to Vegas. I 255 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: still have to get my mind around an NFL team 256 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: in Vegas. It's not like going to Green Bay or something. 257 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: So is there anything unique logistically you can share with 258 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: us about traveling to play an NFL game in Vegas? 259 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: Because I imagine the organization, the Raiders themselves have had 260 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: to deal with a lot of that. Yeah. I've only 261 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: been to Vegas one time, so I'm not really the 262 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: expert on Vegas. So I think kind of where the 263 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, the stadium is situated is kind of you know, 264 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: downtown there, a little bit in their facility is kind 265 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: of I mean ten fifty minutes away. So I think 266 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: each city presents its own logistical challenges. So you know, 267 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: some teams have their facility in the stadium, other teams 268 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: are kind of off campus. So you know, really in 269 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: the end, everybody, every team in situation has to adapt 270 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: to whatever the circumstances are. So I'm not really the 271 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: Vegas Expertum, I know, it's a team when you go 272 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: back and look at their history, I mean, there's been 273 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: a lot of things that have happened organizationally, from starting 274 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: franchise in Oakland and then going to Los Angeles, and 275 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: then going back to Oakland and then transition into Vegas. 276 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: You really look at the key figures through the history 277 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: of the franchise, you know, really mister Davis, you know, 278 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: I mean really made his mark, John Madden, Tom Flores, 279 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, John Gruden. I'd say those are some of 280 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: the key you know when you look at the arcers 281 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: or history now kind of this latest rendition, you know, 282 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: you know, transitioning to Vegas and then when Josh and 283 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: Dave coming in, so kind of a new era, if 284 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: you will. So a lot of history. One of the 285 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: most reputable organizations in the history of the league. So 286 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, there's a certainly a lot of challenges in 287 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: front of us. That's our fourth regular season game against them. 288 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: Since twenty fourteen, we have played in four different locations, 289 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: which is wild. I mean in Houston, Mexico City, Oakland, 290 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: and now Las Vegas, which is interesting. Nicky said something earlier, 291 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: I want to go back to you know, mine're talking 292 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: about Patrick Graham. You're talking about the defense and kind 293 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: of a game plan defense. How the difficulty I would 294 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: think in facing a team that is that way is 295 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Okay, how do they think we're 296 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna attack such that we gotta figure out how they're 297 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: gonna attack us. How difficult is that to sort of 298 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 1: prepare for to make that kind of educated guess of 299 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: what they're going to do against you. That's the million 300 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: dollar question each week. That's what you're really trying to do. 301 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: So you have to look at what you're doing offensively. 302 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: How you think a team might play you on the 303 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: opposing side within their scheme. I think, you know, they 304 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: have probably some scheme flexibility in terms of how they play. 305 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily pigeonhold them as a thirty team or 306 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: a forty team. They're really a nickel defensive team with 307 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: two good edge players. And then really it's about the 308 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: front distribution, the front structure. So what are the things 309 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: that you do that they're going to try to take away? 310 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: So you have to be able to combat that offensively. 311 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: So that's kind of the chess match. Going back and forth. 312 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: I think the way that they've have used Abram is 313 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: indicative of that. So he's a safety, but he plays 314 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: down their line of scrimmage, so they play a lot 315 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: of nickel defense. So it's really about distribution of people 316 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: and spots more than here's their front, here's their base defense, 317 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: or whatever that entails. So just having an understanding of 318 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do on the other side of 319 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: the ball. What are some of the things that you 320 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: do offensively, how are they going to try to combat that? 321 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: To your point, John, really that's what it comes down to. 322 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: Each week Nick, watching Reds we were talking about that 323 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: earlier and all the other NFL games this weekend, it 324 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: gives me an extra bit of appreciation for tex and 325 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: special teams. So can you discuss that for us, how 326 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: Frank Ross and his bunch are doing, because I notice 327 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: every time we kick off to the one or inside 328 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: the five, it feels like you're stopping the opponent inside 329 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: the twenty, sometimes inside the fifteen, getting that result a lot, 330 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: and not that you're seeking that all the time. Sometimes 331 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: you kick it deep, but that's just one of the aspects. Yeah, 332 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: you're really trying to figure out any area where you 333 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: could create an advantage for your football team. So whether 334 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: it's offensively, it's defensively, whether it's in the kicking game. 335 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: So you know, Frank and Sean do a really good job. 336 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: We have like a lot of time, a lot of 337 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: resources to that I would say group in that area. 338 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: We're fortunate to have some pretty good players in that area, 339 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: from MJ to Blake to Dare who've made an impact JRM. 340 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: So the kicking game is important, and your commitment to 341 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: that phase is reflective and how you approach and handle it. 342 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: So in the end, each phase is going to probably 343 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: help you win a game one week to the other. 344 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you never really know when that's going to be. 345 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: And I think as long as everybody understands a philosophy 346 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: behind it, why we're doing it, and then each week, 347 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: if we have to make an adjustment or modification going 348 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: back a few weeks ago, able to execute the fake punt, 349 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, or whether it's situational punting there at the 350 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: end of the Jacksonville game, where you know, midfield punt 351 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: the ball down there, kind of kick it out of bounce, 352 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: keep it out of Agnew's hands. So we've talked about 353 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: this previously. Any Ways, you can maybe find some hidden 354 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: yards that creates some field position advantage or give your 355 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: team an advantage. You know we're gonna look for those, so, 356 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think the key is is whatever you 357 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: think you're doing well, try to maintain that level of 358 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: performance week to week so that it's good one week 359 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: and then the next week it's not as good. You 360 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: want to maintain some level of consistency overall. So it'll 361 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: be a pretty fortunate that area. And again, Sean and Frank, 362 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, do a really good job in that phase. Nick, 363 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of luck that goes into 364 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: keeping guys healthy. But how much has the continuity on 365 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line paid off? The fact that starting in 366 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: Week two and Scottie stepped in at Denver, you've had 367 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: that same offensive line for the last four games as 368 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: supposed to last year where we had and of course 369 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: COVID plays a factor. I get all that, but you've 370 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: had continuity for the last four games. How does you've 371 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: seen that manifest itself in the offensive line play? Yeah, 372 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: that's always probably the one group if you can have 373 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: sort of the same five guys on the field, I mean, 374 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: it helps everybody they can work together. I think there's 375 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: so much communication that goes on literally each snap in 376 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: the span of two to three seconds, so from the 377 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: mic identification and then getting that information from the center 378 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: to the guard, the guard to the tackle and the 379 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: tackle to the tight end if there's past protection involved. 380 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: So the more you have a sense for that person 381 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: next to you and the more you've worked with that individual, 382 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: you would think it's going to be beneficial to everybody involved. 383 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: So you know, since JB's been out and Scott has 384 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: stepped in like you alluded to, and then that group 385 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: has kind of been together and you know, fortunately they've 386 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: been able to stay on the field. I'm sure at 387 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: some point that's going to change. So you know, only 388 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: time you have consistency and continuity, it helps. I mean 389 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: you think and look at our situation and you look 390 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: at honestly kind of what the Vegas has had to 391 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: go through. They've had a lot of would say, moving 392 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: parts in the offensive line, a lot of people in 393 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: and out. Looks like they're starting to settle on one 394 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: specific group here, you know, moving forward. So um, that's 395 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: the one group though, those five guys work together on 396 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: every play and the more you know they're together. It's 397 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: you would think it's going to be more beneficial everybody involved. Nick, 398 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: A lot of traveling Texans are going to the game 399 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Is there anything to do there other 400 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: than the game itself that you're aware of? Just asking 401 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: just make sure you don't lose all your money all 402 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: at once. Try to just remember the casinos were built 403 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: on people that go out there and spend money in 404 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: a casinos, So let's not lose sight of that. So 405 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: all those nice hotels, the Villaggio, I mean, here's a 406 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: reason there they look as nice as they are. I 407 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: got a feeling that you're one trip to Vegas was 408 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: different than my one trip to Vegas. I got a feeling, 409 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, I was much younger. I guess you're 410 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: gonna have an unplugged version of this show later. All right, Nick, 411 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: thanks a lot for joining us, Good luck, Thanks guys. Ma. 412 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling you my trip Vegas was fun, and we'll 413 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: talk about that with Mark a little bit later in 414 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: the show. But my first trip to Vegas was a blast. 415 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: And listen, y'all know this about me. I don't drink, 416 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I knew any 417 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: of that stuff. I am as my kids like to 418 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: call me. They call me the Golden Child because I 419 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: didn't do any of that growing up. I don't do 420 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: any of it now, so I'm this square in their eyes. 421 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: But I love Vegas, baby, I love Vegas. I have 422 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: not been any shows. I sat down at the blackjack 423 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: table and played. I'll tell you that story a little 424 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: bit later in the show. But Vegas is fun, even 425 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: more fun with a wind, more fun with the wind. 426 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: Although I would like to take a weekend with Nika 427 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: Saria to Vegas and see how that goes. That could 428 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: be kind of interesting too. Maybe that's down the road 429 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: we'll see.

You did a week, so you know, 456 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: it was a pretty chill bye week, but got to 457 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: you know, spend some time at my high school, you know, 458 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: talk to the team and you know saw a lot 459 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: of my old teachers and teammates. So it was real 460 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: good to you know, get back to Stafford. Is that 461 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: the first time you've been back to Stafford High School 462 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: since you graduated? Or had you been back for games? 463 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: That was the first game I've gotten back to. Yeah, 464 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: because I've been just so busy with my season and 465 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: you know, just trying to you know, take care of 466 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: everything I need to take care of. So, yeah, it 467 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: was first time I got back to a game. Is 468 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: the coaching staff the same or has it changed much 469 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: since you were there? It hasn't really changed that much. 470 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: Head coach is still the same, and a couple of positions. Coach, 471 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm still the same, you know, a couple changed here 472 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: and there. But okay, to Drastic, what was your advice 473 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: to the kids? Keep working, stay consistent, and you know, 474 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: listen to your coaches. Those coaches helped me out so 475 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: much and helped me, you know, take my game to 476 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: a bigger level than it was when I arrived there. 477 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: So that was my That was really so cool for 478 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of high school kids to have an NFL 479 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: player walk in and talk to them on the buy. 480 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: How about for yourself, I mean a quarter of the 481 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: games in the books. I mean, when you look back 482 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: at how your NFL career has started, what have you 483 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: thought so far, where you started to where you are now, 484 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: where you've improved, where you'd like to get better. Yeah, 485 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: I've seen some improvements, a lot of things that I 486 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: still think I can work on, But overall, I feel 487 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: like it's been great. You know, the coaches, my teammates, 488 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: everybody has welcomed me in and made me feel, you know, 489 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: like I said, very welcome and allowed me to be myself. 490 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm very thankful for that, and you know, 491 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: it's been fun so far. You know, I want to 492 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 1: continue to build on those first five games and continue 493 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: to get better for my teammates. And everyone says the 494 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: speed of the NFL is just so much faster, but 495 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: I feel like, just in watching you, you always sort 496 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: of seem to know what was going on. I mean, 497 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: maybe that's just perception, but you're always talking out there 498 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: on the field. And did it feel easier to you 499 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: than you maybe thought it was going to be coming 500 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: from college to feel as hard? Did it feel harder. 501 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: You know, what was that transition like for you? Yeah, 502 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: the transition was a little bit harder during the spring 503 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: and the summer with the coaches. You know, being out 504 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: there learning something for the first time was real hard. 505 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: But I feel like that wake up call helped me 506 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: to like dive in even harder. And when I arrived 507 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: Game one, I felt like it was it was a 508 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: little bit easier than I expected. But I do credit 509 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: my coaches and my teammates for helping me with that 510 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: because it wasn't always that way. Like it was very 511 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: hard for me early on, but you know, just continue 512 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: to study and continue to get those reps helped me 513 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: a lot. What kind of studying guy are you? You're 514 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: like a film study guy? Are you? You gotta be 515 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: out on the practice field get more reps? Like how 516 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: what's your way of learning? A balance of both, you know. 517 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: I think walkthroughs helped me a lot because you know, 518 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: it slows everything down and you get to see how 519 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: things truly unfold. But I also love to just watch 520 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: film and just get a feel for you know, what 521 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: teams like to do, and you know, just formation recognition. 522 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing that I like to, 523 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, focus on when I'm watching film in order 524 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: to you know, play fast when I see certain things 525 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: in the game. You have probably one of the best 526 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: pregame rituals. You told Drew Doherty that you watch he 527 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: Got Game before every of Do you still do that? 528 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: I do before you do? You watch the whole movie, 529 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: so I don't watch parts of it. I watched parts, 530 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: So I used to watch the whole movie the night 531 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: before the game. But it just gets a little hard, 532 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: you know, with the change of schedule and depending on 533 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 1: two hours. Yeah, it's a two hour movie. So if 534 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: we have a late game, I can watch it like 535 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: it's no problem, but you know, earlier games at twelve, 536 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: it's a little bit harder. But I definitely get the 537 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: cliffs that it needs to get in. Is that when 538 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: did you start doing that? Last year? Okay? Yeah, last 539 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: year in college I started doing that. You just like 540 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: one day We're like, I'm gonna watch this movie and 541 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: then you went out and just bawled out or something. 542 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: It was like in I think the Spring, I was 543 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: watching a movie and it just gave me like good vibes, 544 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: and you know, I just wanted to keep it going 545 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: so um, I kept watching, and you know, it's been 546 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: a ritual since then. A lot of people have talked 547 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: about just you on the field. Joe Dana, your safety's coach, 548 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: just talked about your poise, how you're so calm throughout 549 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: the game. Do you are you a calm guy on 550 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: the field. You do you have nerves when you're out there? Surprisingly, No, 551 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: I honestly, I feel like everybody says yes, but for 552 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: some reason, you just don't seem super nervous. Yeah. I 553 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: honestly don't get nervous anymore than most nervous. I am 554 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: during a week is in practice when I'm seeing things 555 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: for the first time, because it is it is new. 556 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: But by time I get to the game, my coaches 557 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: and teammates we've seen everything we need to see in 558 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: At that point is it's really time to have fun. 559 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm out there just chilling and enjoying, 560 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, the game atmosphere of my teammates. You're also 561 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: unusual in the sense that you have a master's degree. 562 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: You got your master's at Baylor. It's in educational psychology. Psychology. 563 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: I was gonna say philosophy. I knew that didn't sound right. Okay, 564 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: So toughest class in your master's program. I would say 565 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: probably it was like an educational re search class, just 566 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: dealing with all the charts and stuff when you're looking 567 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: at data in the different ways that you had to 568 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: put it in a certain databases. You know, that was 569 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: a bit hard for me, but ended up, you know, 570 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: taking care of it with the studying and the health 571 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: from the teachers. All right, So you grew up on Stafford, 572 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: you went to Baylor. You've always played football in Texas. 573 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: Was there ever a shot that you might leave Texas 574 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: for college? I know you went to Baylor, but did 575 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: you ever think that you'd be playing outside of Texas 576 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: or was it more of a surprise that you stayed 577 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: close to home. I wouldn't say it was a surprise. 578 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: But my dream school was LSU growing up. My book 579 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: and my parents are from Louisiana, so we're big LSU fans. 580 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: And yeah, that was where I wanted to go, but 581 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: ended up not working out, and thankfully I ended up 582 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: at Baylor and it worked out well. I'd say, I'd 583 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: say it worked out pretty well. And now you've got 584 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 1: Derek Stanley who did go to LSU and I think 585 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: one of my favorite moments from this year was after 586 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: you got your first two picks against Chicago. There's a 587 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: picture of you holding the ball and then Derek like 588 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: really just framing you up nicely. What's the relationship like 589 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: between the two of you being rookies and being so 590 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: highly drafted and now starting, Yeah, that's my dog. Like 591 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: we've been through a lot of the same, you know, 592 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: things coming in as a rookie, you know, playing early, 593 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: and you know, just growing together. I think it's been great. 594 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's a good role model, a guy that 595 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: I look up to, you know, a smart guy, a 596 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: guy that can do everything you need him to do 597 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: in the field. And you know, I'm happy that he's 598 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: my teammate. And you know it's cool just to be 599 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: around him on the day to day because you know, 600 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: he makes the days easier and funner. You you're so outgoing. 601 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: He seems a little bit quieter. Is that what your 602 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: friendship your relationship is like just as two teammates. Um, 603 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: not really, you know, I wouldn't say he's as shy 604 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: as people think he is. You know, he's a pretty 605 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: chill guy, but he's outgoing as well. Like you just 606 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: like if we just don't see it. Yeah, yeah, if 607 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: he cool with you, you'll you'll get to know that. 608 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: All right. Now, about for yourself, you're still living at home. 609 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: I read a really cool article about you living at 610 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: home with your parents. How's that going? I was going great. 611 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, everything is good. Parents take good care of me, 612 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: and you know, it's a good family atmosphere at home. 613 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: You know, I come home from games and chop it 614 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: out with my dad and you know, just chill like. 615 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: It's a good atmosphere to be living with your parents. 616 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: And you save a lot of money, and you're really 617 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: close to the stadium. You're not too far away exactly, 618 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: all right, Jalen. For the rest of the season, you know, 619 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: what are some goals some things that you want to 620 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: to get better at and work on for yourself as 621 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: you get into this next stretch of the season. Yeah, 622 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: I want to become more vocal on the field, help 623 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: my teammates out when I see certain things, like I 624 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: talked about the formations and recognize in certain plays. And 625 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: then I just want to run fastest to the ball, 626 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: and you know, continue to have fun with my teammates. 627 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: Those are two big things that you know, I try 628 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: to do weekend and week out, and I'm just gonna 629 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: try to, you know, keep building on that. Yeah, we'd 630 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: love to see more of those interceptions and more pictures 631 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: of you and staying together for sure. Definitely need more 632 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: turnovers to that's a one and more wins. Jalen, thanks 633 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: so much for the time. Appreciate it. Thank you too, man, 634 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: I've been in the building, said twenty fourteen, We've gotten 635 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: more rookies for interviews than I can ever remember. It's 636 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: very very cool that we've been able to get these 637 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: players on the air and dp's had an opportunity to 638 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: talk to Janlen Petrie, Damian Pierce. I mean, they've all 639 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: been really, really cool. So it's been awesome to get 640 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: these rookies on the air and let you guys, the listeners, 641 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: the fans, the followers can opportunity to hear from them, 642 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: Whereas over the years they've been kind of shielded no no, 643 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: no rookies. Note. Now they're kind of put them out there. 644 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: So I like that. And Jalen's great, absolutely fantastic, great player. 645 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: Great dude. Can't wait to see what he does on 646 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: Sunday and throughout his Texans career. All right, we get back. 647 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: How about a little Warren Moon. Yes, the Voice of Texas, 648 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: Mark Vandom, you're caught up with Warren Moon. That's next 649 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access. It's time for the 650 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: Schlumberg Stats Challenge. Now. I decided to make this one 651 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: easy for you because I know a lot of you're 652 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: gonna end up going out the Las Vegas, so you're 653 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: already thinking ahead. You need something easy to night. The 654 00:28:51,600 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: number is one. One. Since the AFL NFL merger, the 655 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: City of Houston's professional teams have had one Hall of 656 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,239 Speaker 1: Fame quarterback that wasn't here just for a cup of coffee. Man, 657 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: even I can't even think if there was anybody here 658 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: for a cup of coffee that made the Hall of Fame. 659 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: George Blanda played for the Oilers back in the sixties. 660 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: He ended up going to the Hall of Fame, but 661 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: he's thought of mores more of as a raider. And 662 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: that was the AFL. That's why I said NFL AFL merger, 663 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: because one actually is the uniform number of the quarterback 664 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: that played for Oilers in the late eighties early nineties. 665 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: That was Warren Moon. After a credible career up in 666 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: Canada with the Edmonton Eskimos now the Edmonton Elks. Moon 667 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: came to Houston nineteen eighty three that coincided with my 668 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: arrival in Houston. Out of the CFL. He put on 669 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: a show every single day, said he throws the prettiest 670 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: boy I've ever seen. I mean, it was just incredible 671 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: to watch him throw the ball so effortlessly and he 672 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: was so fun to watch. Well, he caught up with 673 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: Mark VanderMeer or vice versa, and they talked about any 674 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: number of things. We don't have any memory on the 675 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: mikes this week, but we do have Warren Moon, who 676 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: is always behind the mic and one heck of a quarterback. 677 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: That Schlumbers Stats challenge brought to you by Schlumberja.

But what does Houston mean to you? 699 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: I know you come back here and I know you're 700 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: involved in Brothers in Arms with Andre ware and Vince Young, 701 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: and I'll ask you about that as well. How special 702 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: it is to be doing that with those guys and 703 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: Patti Smith. But what about this city and your relationship 704 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: with it? Warren? Well, this is where my NFL career started, 705 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: and you know, Bud Adams with the Oilers gave me 706 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: the opportunity to come to the NFL, and I want 707 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: to make the most of that opportunity. And we had 708 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: some really good years here as far as playing football, 709 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: but also got very involved in the community. This was 710 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: a community that was really good to me over the years, 711 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: and we were able to do some really you know, 712 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: great things for young people here in the community. So 713 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: this place will always have a special place in my heart, 714 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: even though I don't live here year round, but my 715 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: family still lives here. My four kids and my eight 716 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: grandkids all still live here because they were kind of 717 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: born and raised here during my playing days, so they 718 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: decided to stay here and I visited here quite a bit. 719 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: I just went to my middle school grandsons middle school 720 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: football game last night. They won a championship out in 721 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: UH in Sugarland, and my granddaughter as a cheerleader on 722 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: the on the team UH for the for the football team, 723 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: So I got a chance to see both of them 724 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: last night. And I come back for all types of 725 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: different functions that they have, and it's just a great 726 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: city to come back and visit. I have a lot 727 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: of great relationships here, friends wise, and also with the 728 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: foundation that we're doing with Andrea and h and and 729 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: then So there's just a lot of different reasons why 730 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: I come back to the city, a lot of positive 731 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: reasons in this city always, like I said, have a 732 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: special place in my heart, well, and you have a 733 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: special place in the hearts of Houston fans weren't what 734 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: about roughing the pastor today. I'm just going to get 735 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: right into it here, because when you played, the rules 736 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: were different. Protection of quarterbacks, what the dbs could do 737 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: to the receivers, and as much production as you had, 738 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: I got a feeling it would be a lot greater 739 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: in this era. Your thoughts, you know, I understand why 740 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: they're why they're trying to protect the quarterback the way 741 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,239 Speaker 1: they can because we're in a very vulnerable position when 742 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: we throw the football. We're a big part of team's success. 743 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: So when the starting quarterback goes down, there's a big 744 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: gap in a football team between the starter in the 745 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: backup quarterback, and the league wants to see quality play 746 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: out there. The fans want to see that as well. 747 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: So I understand why they're trying to protect these guys, 748 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: but they still are football players, and that's something that 749 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: has to be taken into consideration. I think whenever there's 750 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: a rough in the passer penalty, I think there should 751 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: be it should be reviewed. There's no question about it, 752 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: because these defensive players, they're really at a They're really 753 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 1: hamstrung as far as how you can hit a quarterback. 754 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: You can't hit them low anymore because you don't want 755 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: to take out their knees. You can't hit them high 756 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: anymore because you might hit them in the head. You 757 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: can't drive them to the turf anymore because you might 758 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: fall on top of them and hurt them. So I 759 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: think all these penalties should be reviewed right away because 760 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: the officials are seeing it, you know, firsthand, in live, 761 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: full speed action. But I think if you replay it, 762 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: you'll be able to see that some of these guys 763 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: are trying to do the right thing. And I think 764 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: there's been an overreaction to what happened with Tua and 765 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: his concussion of the last two weeks ago that now 766 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 1: everything is being amplified as far as quarterbacks being hit, 767 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: and you didn't see that prior to that. So I 768 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: really think the rule needs to be changed. I know 769 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: it probably won't happen this season, But I really think 770 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: they need to review everything that happens on quarterback hits 771 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: because these defensive players are trying to do the right thing. 772 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: But you have to remember when a guy three hundred 773 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: pounds is coming at your full speed, it's kind of 774 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 1: hard for him to let up at the same time 775 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: trying to get the quarterback down to the ground. So 776 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: it's a very touchy situation, something that I think needs 777 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: to be looked at every time it happens. Warren Moon 778 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: joining us Warren. The eras are changing as we speak. 779 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady might be it is last year, we don't know, 780 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: but might be it his last year. Aaron Rodgers is 781 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: not getting any younger. We've already said about it. Eli Manning, 782 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers. What quarterbacks today really inspire you? 783 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: Do you really like to watch play the game just 784 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: as an observer? Well, I watched two of them on Sunday, 785 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. They're two of the best 786 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: in the game right now. They can do it, you know, 787 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: with their arms, they can do it with their legs. 788 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: They're fierce competitors and those are guys that I would 789 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: pay to go see there's so many good young quarterbacks 790 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: in the league right now. You know, you've got Lamar Jackson, 791 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: You've got Joe Burrow, You've got Justin Herbert who just 792 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: played last night. I mean, there's just so many good 793 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: young ones coming along that the league. I think it's 794 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: in very good shape at the quarterback position. But you 795 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: do have these older guys that are starting to see 796 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: their last year's come to an end, and they've had 797 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: amazing careers. They have nothing to be ashamed of, and 798 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: I just hope they don't play too long to where 799 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: they're not playing up to the same standards they want 800 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: to finish the game with. Well, we make a big 801 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: deal now. You know, obviously Tom Brady's amazing at forty five, 802 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: But you know, there you were playing late thirties into 803 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: your forties. What did it take to do that? And 804 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: would that be different now? I know we're talking about 805 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: the nineties here as you started winding it down, but 806 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: here we are in the twenties, and how has health 807 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: and fitness and that side of things change in the league. 808 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 1: Would that have helped you play even longer? Perhaps if 809 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: you were playing today, never mind the rules, you know, 810 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: it probably would have I think so much more is 811 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: known about our bodies as far as you know, being 812 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: taking care of your bodies, the way the way you eat, 813 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: the way you train, the way you take supplements, things 814 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: like that. I think that has a big reason, has 815 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: a lot to do with why Tom Brady is playing 816 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: the way he is because of the way he takes 817 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: care of himself. I think the game isn't as physical, 818 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: especially for the quarterback now, so that wearing tear that 819 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: you have on your body is going to be less 820 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 1: that that allows you to play longer because of the 821 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: different rules in that and the way they protect a quarterback, 822 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: and then the game itself it's more of a wide 823 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: open passing game. It's it's more of a skills competition 824 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: more so than a physical contest, I think, compared to 825 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: the error when I played. So I think all those 826 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: things combine, you're going to see a lot more players 827 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: that a lot of different positions play longer than they 828 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: probably did back in the day, only because the game 829 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: doesn't require as much. You don't see guys have two 830 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: days and in training camp anymore. They very rarely hit 831 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: throughout throughout the regular season, so there's a lot less 832 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: wear and tear on your body that was going to 833 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: allow you to play a little bit longer. So all 834 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: those things combine, you're going to see players play longer. 835 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: The only reason why they probably won't is they're making 836 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: so much money now they don't have to play as long, 837 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: and I think that would be the only reason why 838 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: guys would retire a little bit early. A couple more 839 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: for you here, Warren. I've been doing the Texans games 840 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: with Andre Ware since the franchise started in two thousand 841 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: and two, and he says nothing but great things about you. 842 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: Tell me about your relationship with Drey and how it 843 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: got started, because I know you are already well established 844 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: as he was making his way Heisman Trophy and eighty nine, 845 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: then making his way into the NFL. Yeah, Andrea was 846 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: at the University of Houston when I was playing with 847 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: the Oilers, and I saw this young guy just kind 848 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: of emerging and just taking off with this running shoot offense. 849 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: He was just setting all kinds of records, throwing the 850 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: ball all over the place, and I was a little 851 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: bit jealous because of the offense that he was in 852 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: and I'm watching, you know what he was doing. I'm like, man, 853 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: I would love to play in an offense like that 854 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: in Lo and Behold. You know. A couple of years later, 855 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: Jack Party comes to the Oilers and we're running the 856 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: same offense. But I got a chance to meet Andre 857 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: during his Heisman Trophy run and then we would work 858 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: out in the off season sometime. And then before he 859 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: got ready to go into the NFL Draft, we started 860 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: working out together as well. We had the same attorney, 861 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: Lee Steinberg, so that really brought us together and I 862 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 1: helped recruit him for you know, for Leeda to represent him. 863 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 1: So our relationship has been a long one. He's more 864 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: like a little brother to me, and it's great to 865 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: be involved with him in this community project we're doing 866 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: with Brothers in Arms. We've had a lot of fun 867 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: doing this as well. So our relationship goes back a 868 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: long ways, but we're still, you know, together, great friends 869 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: and doing some great things here in the Houston community 870 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: to this day, outstanding Warren Moon joining us. All right, 871 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: one more for you, the Hugh Texans. Warren, what do 872 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: you make of what they're going through right now? Obviously 873 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: in a process here with Loveye Smith and his first 874 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: year as head coach and Nick Cassios GM and his 875 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,720 Speaker 1: second year. What do you think of where the Texans 876 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: are headed? Loveye Smith is a guy that I've known 877 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: for a long time. I mean, he has a great 878 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: relationship with his players, he knows how to hire really 879 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: good coaches, knows how to handle the media very well. 880 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: And you're talking about a guy that's been to a 881 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with a quarterback that you know, a lot 882 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: of people have probably never heard of. But that's the 883 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: type of coach that he was. So if he's given 884 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 1: the chance to go along with Nick and those guys 885 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: work together, I think this football team can start to 886 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: now get on the path that they need to get onto, 887 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, to win football games. I really like Davis 888 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: Mills is a young quarterback for the future. They just 889 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: need to build some things around him. I was really 890 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 1: impressed with the way he finished the season last year. 891 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: Hasn't gotten off to as good a start this year 892 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: as I thought he would, but he's done some really 893 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: good things this year at times. So I think with 894 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: patients and with guys built around him, he can be 895 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: a guy for the future if they decide to go 896 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: that direction. Sounds great. Warren, once again, congratulations on being 897 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: a Texas Gridiron Legend and we appreciate the visit.

All right, Mark to state with 915 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: me the next segment, and we're talking about our trip 916 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: to Vegas, the game against the Raiders, and why I 917 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: think Josh Jacobs is that much more important to stop 918 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: on Sunday than perhaps any other Raider on the field. 919 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: That's next on Texas Access, Welcome back the second hour 920 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. I'm your host John Harris, football analyst, 921 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: and Mark Vanimer stays with me. Mark, that's pretty cool 922 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to Warren Moon. I've often 923 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: said that a Warren Moon through the prettiest ball I've 924 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 1: ever seen. B. I can't remember I went one or two, 925 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: or A or B, but either way, as a B, 926 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: it's really cool when you get a chance to catch 927 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: up with We cover a lot of the athletes that 928 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,839 Speaker 1: are in town now, but before we got here, guys 929 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: like Warren Moon and Oilers of the nineties, those are 930 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: all players I would have loved to have talked to you. 931 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 1: I know you didn't get a chance to experience that, 932 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 1: but that'd be pretty cool to talk to Warren Moon. Noo. Yeah, 933 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: and I've interviewed him before, Johnny. But the thing about 934 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: Warren Moon is he's one of those guys that I'm 935 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: not gonna say I'm totally starstruck. But there's a little 936 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: bit of that. I gotta dit, what do I always 937 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: say that it's the people that you followed before you 938 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: were in the business seem to do that to you. 939 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 1: And look, I watched Warren Moon on my television before 940 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: I was even a glint in the eye of this business, right, 941 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: I was still selling advertising. I wasn't on the air 942 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: yet when he really got rolling with the Oilers in 943 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: the late eighties. And then I got into the business. 944 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: But you know, I was nowhere to be found compared 945 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,959 Speaker 1: to where I am now. And obviously it's a thrill 946 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: to talk to him. You said it prettiest ball you 947 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: ever saw. The guy is a phenomenal passer of the football. 948 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: And I do think that you put guys like him 949 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: and Dan Marino in today's game and watch the numbers 950 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: grow even more. I mean, this offense for the Oilers 951 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: when Warren was here, that offense was designed to throw 952 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: the ball. But it's now that much easier to throw 953 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: the football than it was back then. I can't even 954 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 1: imagine what the numbers would have been like for those 955 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 1: two guys. I've I've we when did we get in 956 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: a discussion about Marinos and on Monday, I think it 957 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,439 Speaker 1: might have been Monday with Trey Texas Monday, we're talking 958 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: about Marino and you start thinking about, man, what if 959 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: Marino had played with this team. What if Marino had 960 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: played with this team, What if Marino had been you know, 961 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: in this organization. I mean, it's just it's kind of 962 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: scary to think about because of the way that he 963 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 1: managed to pocket and how quickly he'd get rid of football, 964 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: and the fact that his receivers would get disrupted but 965 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: not absolutely mauled like they used to. I mean, if 966 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: you put Dan Marino in the Dolphins, take Dan Marino. 967 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: Put him in the Dolphins right now, Tyree and Battle 968 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: and Gisicky, forget about it. Be ridiculous. You could throw 969 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: seventy yard bombs to Tyreek Hills as long as they 970 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: could hold up in protection. And you mentioned movement, even 971 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 1: though he was a big guy and a lot of 972 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 1: people thought he was a statue because late in his 973 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: career he was after he came back from Achilles from 974 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,879 Speaker 1: the Achilles recovery, but early on he moved around pretty well. 975 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: You look at the Super Bowl footage when they faced 976 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: the Niners and lost, but look at him move around 977 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 1: the pocket. He could move around quite a bit. I 978 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 1: mean it's not exactly Doug Flutie back in those days, 979 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: but he could move around and buy some time, just 980 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: like Brady can move around. These brilliant pastors have a 981 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: true sense of pocket of where things are, and just 982 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: to move a yard or two to the right or 983 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 1: left and slightly backwards diagonally, they buy extra time and 984 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,439 Speaker 1: extra space to be able to throw the football. They're 985 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: so good at it, and sometimes you wonder how they 986 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: do it. You bring up a great point and make 987 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: sure that we asked Trey, this is that learned behavior 988 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: or is that inherent? I feel like it's you got 989 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: it or you don't. But if you have it, you 990 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: can improve it. If you don't, I don't know if 991 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: you can ever get it. I think some things in 992 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: sports are you're born with, but you sort of nurture 993 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: that talent, not even sort off. You nurture that talent, 994 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: you grow it. Because it's we talk about this on 995 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 1: the basketball floor and in football. Guys who see the 996 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: field or see the floor, guys who can make that 997 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: really tough past that other players might not even see. 998 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: Other quarterbacks might not see other point guards might not see. 999 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: They might not it might not occur to them to 1000 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: throw the ball or see that guy open in the 1001 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: corner or underneath or wherever it might be. And some 1002 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: players just tend to have that the old quarterback coming 1003 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 1: out of the pocket. Keep your eyes down field easier 1004 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 1: said than done when you have these unbelievable fire fire 1005 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: breathing dragons chasing you down trying to make things happen 1006 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 1: that way. So I think that some of it you're 1007 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: born with, but you have to be able to grow 1008 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 1: your talent otherwise you're gonna be out of the league, 1009 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: whatever league it is. We're going to Vegas. How eut 1010 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 1: cited are you? I'm super excited because it's an NFL 1011 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,399 Speaker 1: game in a new place, a new city, and there's 1012 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: sort of this baptism feel for the Houston Texans, and 1013 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,359 Speaker 1: you know, you brought it on to the audience. I think, 1014 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: I don't know, a few weeks ago, maybe that it's 1015 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: the fourth time you're playing the Raiders since twenty fourteen 1016 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 1: in an fourth different location. When you look at Mexico 1017 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,760 Speaker 1: City and r G Oakland and this, and I'm excited 1018 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: for this. You know, we've been to La, but we 1019 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: hadn't been to that stadium. We've never done an NFL 1020 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: game in Vegas. I've done college football in Vegas, though, 1021 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: Johnny I did a Vegas Bowl back in nineteen ninety four, 1022 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: Central Michigan versus UNLV, and we got boat raced. It 1023 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: was a rising job by ULB. And the funny thing 1024 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 1: is we beat them earlier that year in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. 1025 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 1: But the boat situation back then was Central had five 1026 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: weeks off between the conclusion of the regular season and 1027 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: the bowl and no indoor facility, so you're practicing literally 1028 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: in the meanwhile, you and LV they had something like 1029 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: two and a half weeks off. The way, their schedule 1030 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,879 Speaker 1: wasn't there in that weather anyway, It was actually cold 1031 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 1: that night, but they just ran past us. But that's 1032 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: another story for another day. I just remember staying at 1033 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 1: the Riviera back then, which I don't think exists any longer, 1034 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: and at the time they were talking about shooting the 1035 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 1: movie Casino in Casino. They shot it at the Riviera, 1036 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,359 Speaker 1: and I think they were about to start shooting at 1037 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 1: that time. Robert de Niro, Joe Pesci, Don Rickles. I mean, 1038 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: it was a tremendous cast. Martin Scosese directed, and it 1039 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,760 Speaker 1: was in that hotel and I set up the trade 1040 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: for all of us. So we got our rooms, we 1041 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 1: got the rental car, we got the flights, and I 1042 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 1: got it all traded. That was back in the days 1043 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: of tradio where you could trade on the radio and 1044 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: trade commercials for services, rooms, whatever. So I made a 1045 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: tremendous deal with Vegas. That's back in the days when 1046 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: I sold and was on the air, and that was 1047 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: a lot of fun to do that trip. So that's 1048 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,840 Speaker 1: the last time I did a game in Vegas. Let 1049 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,399 Speaker 1: me think, is that true? Yeah? I know you've done 1050 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: shows Golden Nugget at your former station, kill me Fatida's place, 1051 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: and so did. I did a bunch of shows at 1052 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 1: the Golden Nugget, but that was shows, not games. And 1053 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm excited to do a game and see what it's 1054 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 1: all about. You must be excited too. Yeah. And the 1055 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 1: one time that we went to the gold Nugget was 1056 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: the two thousand and seven season. That was the Patriots 1057 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: eighteen and OZ Super Bowl against the Giants, and we 1058 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,320 Speaker 1: went out there and I'll be honest, I was not excited. 1059 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, man, I'm going out 1060 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 1: there with a bunch of people that really like to 1061 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: throw down have a good time, and that's not me. 1062 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, you know the crew. And so 1063 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,239 Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous. And so my show is over 1064 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: and I go over and I see John Granado playing 1065 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 1: blackjack and I'm kind of just watching and I've never 1066 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: played before, never, and so I walk over and I'm like, 1067 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: this looks kind of fun. I'm gonna go up and 1068 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: get some money, come back down and I'll play. And 1069 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: so then I saw I saw all right, buddy Lance. 1070 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: Lance is playing at a He's playing a game called 1071 00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,120 Speaker 1: Blackjack Switch and so there was a seat Threa next 1072 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: to him, and I felt like if I didn't know 1073 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: what I was doing, he could help me. And so 1074 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 1: I sat down at eight thirty at night, I walked 1075 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,919 Speaker 1: away at four thirty in the morning. I told my wife. 1076 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: I told my wife that story, and she's like, you never, 1077 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, Vegas does that to you. 1078 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: I walked eight straight hours, and just like you would expect, 1079 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: I lost. I went back and got more money lost. 1080 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: I was almost out, like I'm just done, and all 1081 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden. I went on a streak for the 1082 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 1: next like two three hours, built it built it up, 1083 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 1: lost it all. Yeah, two o'clock in the morning, built 1084 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 1: it up, built it up, built it up, and I 1085 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 1: was able to walk away from the table up that night, 1086 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 1: like I don't know a few hundred hours, but the 1087 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: eight hours, I mean, it was unbelievable. And the funniest 1088 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,399 Speaker 1: part was that we were out there have a Super 1089 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 1: Bowl weekend, and so next to us was Royo's wall. 1090 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 1: Remember Royal's not Royal's not Royal's Brandon Back, Brandon Back, 1091 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: so Brandon from Gallison. So he's got a little he's 1092 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: got a little cheat town in him. He was sitting 1093 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: at the table next to us and my coast at Toma, 1094 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: Seam Pendergast our good friend, and Sean was watching me 1095 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: play and helping me. But when back he sat down, 1096 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 1: Sean says, hey, Johnny, look it's Backy. And also we 1097 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: start talking back and they hey, man, we just interviewed you, remember, like, 1098 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,839 Speaker 1: oh yeah, it was great. So we kind of hit 1099 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 1: it off. So Sean is with Backy and back He's 1100 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: got stacks of chips, stacks, and Sean is just egging 1101 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 1: him on and he's throwing out like more black chips. 1102 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he's it was. It was the funniest night. 1103 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 1: But when it comes to events, the very next night 1104 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 1: we went to a UFC event. Oh and it was electric. 1105 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: It was electric. I mean I was like wow. So 1106 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 1: then the next night was a super Bowl and there's 1107 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: a big viewing party and all that then went on. 1108 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,320 Speaker 1: It was that of course, the David Tyree catch and 1109 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 1: all that. It was just it was unbelievable. I can 1110 00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: only imagine what an NFL weekend is like.

I'm like, 1114 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see how that is. But the 1115 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: main thing is go out there and get a win 1116 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 1: and beat them. Here's one thing about this game. Mark 1117 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: the four different locations. That's a that's a little oddity. 1118 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 1: Listen to this so we know how our games have gone. 1119 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: It's the Colts. We blew a seventeen point lead the Broncos. 1120 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,879 Speaker 1: We were tied. We were no, we were headed by three, 1121 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: is that right? No? No? No, we were tied going 1122 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter.

We lost the Chargers by ten, but 1125 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 1: we cut the lead to twenty seven twenty four midway 1126 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter, and then of course we won 1127 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 1: the last one, scoring in the fourth quarter. Every one 1128 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 1: of our games has come down to the fourth quarter. 1129 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 1: All we gotta do is make a play. Who knows 1130 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,680 Speaker 1: what we would be How about this for the Raiders, 1131 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: the race cut. They opened the season playing it charges 1132 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,399 Speaker 1: so five, They cut it to five in the fourth quarter, 1133 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,240 Speaker 1: lost by five. They had a twenty point lead against 1134 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 1: the Cardinals at home, blew it and lost Kyler Murray 1135 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 1: two point conversion ridiculous video game. The next week they 1136 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 1: went to Tennessee. They got it to twenty four to 1137 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,279 Speaker 1: twenty two, missed a two point conversion when the minute 1138 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 1: fourteen left, lost twenty four twenty two. Then they won 1139 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 1: by nine. Then they played the Chiefs on Monday night. 1140 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: Led much of the game, trailed thirty twenty three score touchdown, 1141 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: went for two missed it lost that game thirty to 1142 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: twenty nine. Other than the Chargers, in which we lost 1143 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: by ten, but we had cut the lead to three. 1144 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,919 Speaker 1: Every single game that these two teams have played has 1145 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,800 Speaker 1: a been close in the fourth quarter, had be not 1146 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,360 Speaker 1: even close. It's been within one score in the fourth quarter. 1147 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 1: And all that these teams have the show for it 1148 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: are two wins and one tie, but both of them 1149 00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,879 Speaker 1: have blown a seventeen point leader or twenty point lead. 1150 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: Every other game has been one score at the end. 1151 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 1: It's been amazing to watch and look at the results 1152 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: of these teams as a matchup coming into this game 1153 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I mean, I didn't want to think that 1154 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 1: we were that similar, but I kind of think that 1155 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: we are. From that standpoint, it's gonna be really interesting 1156 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 1: to see these two go out on Sunday. Well. It's 1157 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: funny because I was on with our buddy Rob Hip, 1158 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 1: former voice of the Sam Houston State University Bearcats who's 1159 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: now in North Dakota State, and he said, Hey, I 1160 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 1: was looking at you guys, and it seems like this 1161 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 1: division is really up for grabs and you guys have 1162 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 1: as good a chance as anyone to take it. I'm thinking, 1163 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 1: I love your optimism and be like that. I feel like, 1164 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 1: in a way he's right based on everything you just 1165 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: said about the fourth quarter stuff. But you have to 1166 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: make those plays. And you and I always talked about 1167 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 1: five week football viewing. And one thing that another takeaway 1168 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 1: you always get is how close all these games are 1169 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,320 Speaker 1: and how any play in the fourth quarter makes the difference. 1170 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,759 Speaker 1: And he's on. They even have a term for it, 1171 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,760 Speaker 1: the witching hour, where we become losses and losses become wins. 1172 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 1: And it's so true because you think you got something 1173 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 1: in the bag or you could, and then all of 1174 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 1: a sudden, a bad play happens, or the other side 1175 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 1: where we might be out of this, but a score 1176 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,479 Speaker 1: here to score there, and a turnover and Whaila, look 1177 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 1: the Colts had who was at hinz He fumbled the 1178 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,040 Speaker 1: ball right and then the Colts recovered it on a 1179 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,759 Speaker 1: Hunt return. N sich. If you fall on that ball, 1180 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: you're kicking a field goal for the win. And it 1181 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: was on the ground. But it's that close. These are 1182 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: the kinds of plays, you know. Look, I don't expect 1183 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 1: it to be automatic that when you get that DeAndre 1184 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: Carter fumble on a punt return that it's amazing, Johnny. 1185 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 1: They got in both home games late in the game. 1186 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,719 Speaker 1: Is they get Hunt returners to cough it up. This 1187 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,400 Speaker 1: special team's unit is no joke. And I'll tangent here 1188 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,839 Speaker 1: on that. Watching football over this weekend, and I've had 1189 00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 1: this with offense and defense through the years too. From 1190 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: time to time, I'm watching the other teams, thinking, man, 1191 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,879 Speaker 1: the Texans have it really good in this particular phase 1192 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,399 Speaker 1: of the game, whatever it might be at that time 1193 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 1: in our history. Because I'm watching the other teams and 1194 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 1: they're not as good, or many of them aren't. With 1195 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 1: Sunday's viewing, I'm looking at special teams and a lot 1196 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 1: of the special teams around the league not measuring up 1197 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 1: to what the Texans are doing, not even close. Like, 1198 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,840 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you guys are terrible compared to the 1199 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: Texans at this aspect of special teams or that aspect 1200 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 1: of special teams. So I think that's cool, but that's amazing. 1201 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:29,919 Speaker 1: The ball has been on the ground twice in both 1202 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 1: home games by the punt returner of the opponent in 1203 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,759 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You got one, you didn't get the other. 1204 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 1: Market about the exact same spot on the field, yep, 1205 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,279 Speaker 1: at about the exact same spot. I mean it's that, 1206 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's eerie. And if you think about 1207 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,800 Speaker 1: it from that perspective, but say that they do fumble 1208 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: it to you, you have a chip shot field goal, 1209 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 1: You win that game, you save that game. I'm convinced 1210 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 1: you go to Denver if you beat the Colts. I'm 1211 00:56:55,560 --> 00:57:01,240 Speaker 1: convinced you beat both the Broncos and the Bears. Worst 1212 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 1: case you get one of them. Worst case, you get 1213 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,840 Speaker 1: one of them. Worst case you should have gotten one 1214 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 1: of them. But you you be sitting three and two 1215 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 1: top the division right there with the with the Tennessee Titans. 1216 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: That's all. That's all it would have taken. If you 1217 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: get that win against the Colts, I think you break through. 1218 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 1: I feel like at fourteen to ten against the Bears, 1219 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 1: that's where it could have gone, but you didn't. You're 1220 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 1: one three and one. Here's another thing I think I 1221 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: like these kind of did you knows? I was looking 1222 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 1: at this in the AFC. Now, granted the Texans have 1223 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 1: played one fewer game. I understand how many teams mark 1224 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,479 Speaker 1: in the in the AFC sixteen teams, how many would 1225 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 1: you say, right now right now have three losses or more? 1226 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 1: Just gut reaction, boom, what is it? It's the Raiders 1227 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 1: in the AFC AFC how many had three losses or more? 1228 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: Not the Jags Raiders? Is that it is it just 1229 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders ken there or more. I'm thinking three losses 1230 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 1: or more. I'm thinking more, not not three or more. Okay, 1231 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:20,919 Speaker 1: three or more. Dolphins, Patriots, Broncos, Raiders, Ravens. The entire 1232 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 1: AFC North. The entire AFC North has three losses or more. 1233 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,920 Speaker 1: Ravens are three and three, Bengals three and three, Browns 1234 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 1: two and four, Steelers two and four. In the South, 1235 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 1: it's the Texans and the Jaguars, right hen teams in 1236 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 1: the AFC have three losses or more, the Texans being 1237 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: one of those teams. I mean that sounds sort of 1238 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: if I'd have told you that after five weeks, hey, 1239 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: going into the bye week, you're gonna have the same 1240 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 1: number of losses as ten teams in the a FC 1241 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: out of thought, Well wait a second, how does the 1242 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: math work on that? But that's exactly where we're looking at. Dolphins, 1243 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 1: Patriots three and three, Broncos two and four, Raiders one 1244 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,680 Speaker 1: and four. The AFC North is ridiculous. Ravens and Bengals 1245 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,600 Speaker 1: are tied three and three, and the Browns are both 1246 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 1: are two and four and Steelers tu and four. Yeah, 1247 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: and the Steelers just beat a quality opponent in the 1248 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think that if the opposing quarterback 1249 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 1: goes to a wedding every week, we'll see if that 1250 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 1: can happen. He stat for the Steelers, but I do 1251 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 1: like Mike Tomlin, you know that, and I think I 1252 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 1: actually root for him. I can't root for the Steelers, 1253 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 1: but a root for him. So it's weird. It's a 1254 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 1: very conflicting sort of thing, especially in a year where 1255 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,200 Speaker 1: you don't play them. And I just hate when the 1256 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 1: Steelers fans get on him because there's a lot to like. 1257 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: And I love that the Steelers have only have had 1258 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 1: only three coaches in the Super Bowl era. Really, s 1259 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: it's the merger, I should say. Really, it's incredible stuff 1260 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: right there. But yeah, I've been saying, look, you're only 1261 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 1: a game back in the lost column in the AFC 1262 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 1: South right, because the Titans and Colts each have two losses. 1263 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,480 Speaker 1: But the wing column is what's important here. The only 1264 00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,920 Speaker 1: way the tie comes in hand is if you can 1265 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 1: match them and wins, then you have a half loss 1266 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,360 Speaker 1: less and you've got the winning percentage ahead of them. 1267 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,919 Speaker 1: But look, we're getting way ahead of ourselves. Because even 1268 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 1: if the Texans had beaten the Bears and the Broncos, Johnny, 1269 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: this is tough to go out there. I don't care 1270 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 1: what the Raiders record is. You told us what they've 1271 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,360 Speaker 1: been through. They've got a lot of talent. That's a 1272 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: tough one. And then you have the Titans at home 1273 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 1: and then the Eagles at home. So ouch, this is 1274 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 1: the ouch part of the schedule and they've got to 1275 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 1: come through it somehow, And I'm not sure how they're 1276 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: going to do it, but I'm here for it, and 1277 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 1: I know this. They're capable of beating anybody. They beat 1278 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 1: the Titans on the road last year. It was kind 1279 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 1: of a weird game with the rain and Tyrod Taylor 1280 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 1: ran for a couple of scores and all that. So 1281 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,440 Speaker 1: what you won the game. You found a way to 1282 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 1: won the game. Your defense played well, find a way 1283 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 1: to win these games, find a way to manufacture wins. 1284 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 1: As I said last week when we were on the 1285 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: pregame show with Sean and Seth Davis Mills, will your 1286 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: team to victory now? Wasn't all him? Was more like 1287 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 1: Damian Pierce willed his team to victory, but Mills didn't 1288 01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 1: turn it over, and he made the big throws when 1289 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 1: he had like the third back conversion to Jordan Nakins. 1290 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,840 Speaker 1: More of that. Police, if you're gonna play ball control, great, 1291 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 1: but you cannot turn it over. That's a ball control 1292 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 1: basically means, and you have to get takeaways. You have 1293 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: to get the ball away from Derek Carr, and I 1294 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: think they can. I think they will this weekend get 1295 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 1: the ball away from the former Clement's ranger. You know, 1296 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 1: I was going back, and I went back and I 1297 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 1: watched the watch t Raiders game. Is actually watching it 1298 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 1: today after watching it on Monday night, and I missed. 1299 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: I missed something completely in that game the Raiders. On 1300 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:36,959 Speaker 1: third down, Travis Kelsey was out wide. The Raiders took 1301 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 1: clelandand Cleland Farrell and put him in front of Travis 1302 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Kelsey with a defensive back behind him. They essentially took 1303 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 1: a defensive end and a safety and said that Travis 1304 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 1: Kelsey's your guy, don't let him catch the ball. Now. 1305 01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: I don't remember it more than once, but I thought, 1306 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 1: and that is an interesting approach the Texans. I don't 1307 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,000 Speaker 1: They're not gonna do with the Texans. But I just 1308 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting how they tried to attack Travis 1309 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 1: Kelsey doing some different things. I don't think they'll have 1310 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,480 Speaker 1: to do that with Brandon Collins or I'm sorry, Brandon 1311 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 1: Cooks or Nico Collins, but I thought it was interesting 1312 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 1: just the approach that they took to try and shut 1313 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,959 Speaker 1: down the major weapon. And of course that night Kelsey 1314 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 1: end up catching four passes or four touchdowns. So maybe 1315 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 1: they should have used that philosophy a little bit more, 1316 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 1: but they but they didn't, so maybe it came back 1317 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,640 Speaker 1: to haunt them. But Josh Jacobs got rolling in that game, 1318 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 1: and that worries me that really, Now, DeVante had some 1319 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 1: nice players. He had the fourth and one catch early 1320 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,480 Speaker 1: in the game for a touchdown, and we know what 1321 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,640 Speaker 1: DeVante can do every time he's played the Packers. Every 1322 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 1: time we played the Packers, Davante just let us up 1323 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I mean, it was gross, and so I 1324 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 1: worry about Davante marking my off base to think that 1325 01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs could Because of this reason, the secondary right 1326 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 1: now is playing at a much higher level than the 1327 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 1: front has against the run. So I'd take my chances 1328 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,160 Speaker 1: with our secondary playing against Devanta Adams versus our front 1329 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 1: going against the hot Josh Jacobs. Am I wrong in 1330 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,919 Speaker 1: thinking that Jacobs maybe a bigger key, But how big 1331 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,240 Speaker 1: a factor he is in this game? Am I off 1332 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 1: basing that that he is the factor? Because look at 1333 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,280 Speaker 1: what ground games have done to this football team when 1334 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 1: they're on. Look at Eckler getting going against the Houston Texans. 1335 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 1: Look at what Etn was able to do when they 1336 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 1: went to him. They should have gone to him more. 1337 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 1: If you're a Jaguar fan, you're thinking, find a way 1338 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 1: to get won the ball even more to do some 1339 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,080 Speaker 1: damage that way. And when they put Robinson in the game, 1340 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: the feeling was, oh good, Robinson's in the game. Now. 1341 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 1: Usually you wouldn't feel that way with Robinson. He's an 1342 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 1: accomplished I don't want to call him that. He's a 1343 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 1: good back. Okay, he's a good back. We all know 1344 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: that accomplished. What is he accomplished? He's played Jaguars, but 1345 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 1: he's gotten There's that, right, But the point is this, 1346 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 1: Etn's a play Jacob's different kind of back. I get it. 1347 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 1: But he's a playmaker for them, and he's gonna be 1348 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:06,959 Speaker 1: really dangerous if you can find a way to slow 1349 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 1: him down, obviously that's key. But Johnny, You've talked about it, 1350 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 1: Andreas talked about it. You're not getting to the quarterback 1351 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 1: in the last couple of games. You're not getting enough 1352 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,920 Speaker 1: heat on the opposing quarterback, and you were earlier. I 1353 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,920 Speaker 1: know different kinds of quarterbacks, and we see what shape 1354 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is in right now. But man, oh man, 1355 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 1: you've got to get pressure on Derek Carr. He can scramble, 1356 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 1: but he's not exactly Kyler Murray. So you have to 1357 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get to him. You got 1358 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 1: to slow him down, you gotta get him in third 1359 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 1: and long, all those things we always talk about. Because 1360 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 1: I think he can and will make the mistake. It's 1361 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see what the crowd. There 1362 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: will be a lot of Texans fans there. Does the 1363 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: Vegas crowd sort of turn on the Raiders. I want 1364 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 1: to see if that happens. I think that they'll get frustrated. 1365 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 1: It's not like they were supposed to knock off the 1366 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs this year, but they were supposed to be right there, 1367 01:04:56,120 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 1: right there, definitely contending with the Chargers. Certainly the Broncos 1368 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 1: to be able to contend for second in a playoff 1369 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 1: spot after making the playoffs last year and do better 1370 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 1: this year. They're not doing better yet record wise, so 1371 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 1: we'll see what they bring. Yeah, Nick Sarah talked about 1372 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: that how much money they spent this offseason. They spent 1373 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 1: a lot of money on the bout, the Adams draft picks, etc. 1374 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 1: They spent a lot of money. And look, it's not 1375 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 1: over yet. You're five games in. Whatever it could all 1376 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: work out great with Adams, and maybe it does. And 1377 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 1: j C. Jackson two with the Chargers because the fact 1378 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: that he was benched in the last game that speaks 1379 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 1: volumes of cautionary tale content. Winner you say, is it 1380 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 1: worth paying a guy that much money? You know, you 1381 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 1: really got to pick your spots, and that's why gms 1382 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 1: are sometimes so hesitant to do that. And look at 1383 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots, Steve Fence and the performances they're getting right now, 1384 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: and they're getting a decent quarterback performance out of Bailey 1385 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 1: Zappie and they're winning. They just beat the Browns. That 1386 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,000 Speaker 1: boggles the mind too. Maybe it shouldn'toggle the mind anymore. 1387 01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,360 Speaker 1: They're the Patriots. Yeah, and those guys who were with 1388 01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 1: other teams, Joe Judge, Matt Patricia. You know, they're like 1389 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,600 Speaker 1: assistant coaches of the year right now. The magic they're 1390 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:07,480 Speaker 1: doing on the offensive side of the ball and the 1391 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball is in great shape because 1392 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: they have the greatest defensive coordinator of all time and 1393 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick running the show. Yep, no doubt. Mark, very 1394 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 1: nice job. All right, we get back. Drew's gonna stop by. 1395 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 1: We got a little in the lab for your next 1396 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 1: on Texans All Access. I welcome you back to a 1397 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,280 Speaker 1: Wednesday at issue of Texans All Access from the Huday 1398 01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: Texans Radio studio. I am John Harris Football I on 1399 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 1: the sideline reporter, and it was good to catch up 1400 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,640 Speaker 1: with Mark, so equal opportunity were heard from deep early 1401 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 1: in the show. I just chatted with Mark. Now it's 1402 01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 1: time for Drew Doherty to step up to the plate 1403 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 1: for a little in the lab starting right now. Good 1404 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 1: to talk with you, Good to see you. Yeah, man, 1405 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:53,400 Speaker 1: Do you have a good break? That's good and I 1406 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 1: know the Woe is Me is coming. I'm a first 1407 01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,880 Speaker 1: day off, first day off in six weeks. It's pretty good. 1408 01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 1: I love Saturday Saturday with my first day off, and 1409 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 1: guess what I did watch college football. That's exactly that, dude, 1410 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: You know me, Yes, that's all I did. I watch 1411 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,520 Speaker 1: college football, but I saw just a smidgeon at college football. 1412 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 1: I was at a four year old birthday party petting zoo, 1413 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,280 Speaker 1: got a picture with the goat. That was fun. Yeah, yeah. 1414 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,680 Speaker 1: And I went to a seven on seven football game 1415 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:27,640 Speaker 1: for nine year olds, to a soccer game for nine 1416 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: year olds, and then I went to another birthday party 1417 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 1: in the afternoon. It was fun. It was a good day. 1418 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,920 Speaker 1: And then Sunday snooze a bit on the couch and 1419 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,240 Speaker 1: watch from football. But let's talk about our Texans, John, 1420 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 1: Let's do it. We're back. We are gunning for win 1421 01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,520 Speaker 1: number two. But to get that, gotta go to Vegas, 1422 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 1: gotta beat the Raiders. And you know, that's a team 1423 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:49,120 Speaker 1: that has struggled. That's a team that's uh it gets 1424 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 1: banged up. I mean they're missing some folks, but it's 1425 01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:54,480 Speaker 1: still a team that Lovey Smith pointed out on Monday. 1426 01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,880 Speaker 1: They got a really good quarterback. They got maybe the 1427 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: best receiver in the game, he said, and Davante Adams, 1428 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 1: you can argue that, he said very much. So what 1429 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,200 Speaker 1: strikes you the most as far as taking those two 1430 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,800 Speaker 1: out of the equation. What's the biggest threat the Raiders 1431 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 1: present to this Texans team on Sunday. Okay, thought about 1432 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 1: this in a while, and I know you're going there 1433 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 1: with this question, but but I've been thinking about it. 1434 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: Against Chicago, we gave a two hundred and eighty one 1435 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: rushing yards against the Chargers. They didn't run the ball 1436 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: at Ton Bross Naker had a great game out they 1437 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 1: needed to, they got it. They ran it when they 1438 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 1: wanted to, and Roncos ran it had some time the 1439 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:37,400 Speaker 1: only time we've really had and this is good news 1440 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 1: bad news. Bad news is we haven't been good stopping 1441 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 1: the run. But the good news is that maybe we 1442 01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,759 Speaker 1: started showing something in the second half against the Jags. 1443 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,120 Speaker 1: They didn't go crazy run the ball, and it was 1444 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 1: a close game. They didn't go nuts running the ball, 1445 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,640 Speaker 1: and they got a couple of key stops, one on 1446 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,000 Speaker 1: fourth and one that was a massive stop. So the 1447 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: run defense worries me a bit against Josh Jacobs. This 1448 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,599 Speaker 1: is a renewed, seemingly healthy Josh Jacobs, and it was funny. 1449 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,639 Speaker 1: We were talking to Nick Cassario early in the week 1450 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 1: Drew and he was talking about Josh Jacobs and I 1451 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 1: love it when football guys talk about football players and 1452 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 1: they kind of they don't talk in full sentences. They're 1453 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 1: just power strength, vision, faced a lot of adversity in college. 1454 01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:21,640 Speaker 1: Wasn't used a lot in college, and you know they 1455 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,880 Speaker 1: just kind of English teachers would yeah, just bullet point, 1456 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 1: bullet point, bullet point, bullet point. And as he's going 1457 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: through each bullet point, I'm like, that's Damian Pierce. It's 1458 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,920 Speaker 1: just the first round version of Damian Pierce. Josh Jacobs 1459 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 1: was was homeless in high school. They were living in 1460 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 1: a car in high school, got an opportunity to go 1461 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:41,599 Speaker 1: to Alabama, had to find his way through Nagi Harris 1462 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 1: and Damian Damien Harris, and eventually he was able to 1463 01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 1: get enough carriages to show, yeah, this guy's got something, 1464 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 1: and the Raiders made him a first round pick. He's 1465 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:56,200 Speaker 1: had some really good moments last year. Not quite there, 1466 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,160 Speaker 1: but you know, the Raiders were kind of hemming and 1467 01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,560 Speaker 1: hand what they should do. Should they pick up his 1468 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,800 Speaker 1: fifth year option? And Jacobs is like, no, it's cool, 1469 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,599 Speaker 1: you don't. I'll show you. And he has. He has 1470 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 1: spent this year improve it mode all year and he 1471 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 1: is running with every I mean, you think of Damian Pierce. 1472 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 1: Just get a vision of Pierce and now put Raiders 1473 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 1: number twenty eight Jersey on him and there you go. 1474 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 1: And that's to me the biggest issue. Yes, Avanta Adams 1475 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,760 Speaker 1: is fantastic. I almost want them to throw the ball 1476 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,080 Speaker 1: at Vanta Adams because I feel like, with Steven Nelson 1477 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,559 Speaker 1: there extingly in the secondary, where the secondary is coming along, 1478 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 1: I'll take my chances with the unit that's played better 1479 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,200 Speaker 1: than the run defensive unit that has not played extremely well. 1480 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,120 Speaker 1: So I'd almost invite them to throw the ball at 1481 01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,560 Speaker 1: Devantae Adams a little bit such that it takes the 1482 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,880 Speaker 1: ball out of the hands of Josh Jacobs because he's 1483 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 1: been he's been a big problem. Okay, So with all 1484 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 1: that in mind, if it happens this weekend, and I'm 1485 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,599 Speaker 1: not saying it will, but I kind of getting I'm 1486 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,320 Speaker 1: kind of getting a feeling that it will. If Christian 1487 01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 1: Harris returns to the line, Oh who plays linebacker? Ye, 1488 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 1: what does that do for this Texans defense. He's not 1489 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: not been added to the fifty three man roster yet, 1490 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna happen until the day before the 1491 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 1: game he winds up playing in which, like I said, 1492 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 1: I kind of think it's gonna be this weekend. But 1493 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,760 Speaker 1: when he's in the lineup, what's it gonna mean? Well, 1494 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:23,520 Speaker 1: it gives him, It gives him speed. Now his linebackers 1495 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 1: that that h nick and love he brought to the 1496 01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 1: organization starting in twenty twenty one. They've always been able 1497 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: to run. They've always been able to run, but Christian 1498 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,320 Speaker 1: Harris runs at a completely different pace and level. He also, 1499 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,719 Speaker 1: I think brings a level of violence. And I remember 1500 01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 1: watching Christian was he when he was at Alabama and 1501 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,640 Speaker 1: it was the it was the season of twenty twenty one. 1502 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 1: I was like, I feel like there's more there his 1503 01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 1: last days in Alabama son watching him in the game 1504 01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,120 Speaker 1: against Georgia in the National Championship Game, and I'm like, 1505 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,720 Speaker 1: he's arguably one of the three best players in the 1506 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 1: field both sides of the ball, and that had number 1507 01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 1: one overall pick Trayon Walker had all the first round 1508 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,200 Speaker 1: picks from Georgia. He's one of the top three players 1509 01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,679 Speaker 1: on the field that night. He's running down Stetson Bennett, 1510 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 1: he is making plays in the gap. He has taking 1511 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,559 Speaker 1: out blockers. So I'm like, okay, let me go back 1512 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:13,920 Speaker 1: and watch a couple of the games. Let me just 1513 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,040 Speaker 1: this is pretty impressive and I want to see someone 1514 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,960 Speaker 1: I want to put it. Did I miss? So I 1515 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,479 Speaker 1: want to watch the Florida game, like every play in depth, 1516 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 1: studying him, just him in that game. There's so many 1517 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,120 Speaker 1: prospects in that game, and I'm studying just him and 1518 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 1: I'm watching him just blow up pulling guards. I mean 1519 01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 1: blow them, not only blow them up, but then blow 1520 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:32,639 Speaker 1: up a pulling guard and then go make the tackle. 1521 01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:34,760 Speaker 1: He made plays in that Florida game that just blew 1522 01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:38,320 Speaker 1: me away. So the combination of speed and violence, and 1523 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 1: then people hear the word violence and they're like, oh no, 1524 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,200 Speaker 1: this is football controlled violence, right, football violence. So speed 1525 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 1: and football violence he brings to the field. Now. I 1526 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 1: don't know how the hamstring will will take away from that. 1527 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,400 Speaker 1: If it takes away from that, I don't know. I 1528 01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 1: hope not. It's always kind of a tricky thing with 1529 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 1: a hamstring. Sometimes you need the year. Sometimes you can 1530 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,400 Speaker 1: go out there and be yourself. And speaking to somebody 1531 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 1: that played like a whole season with a hamstring, it 1532 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,280 Speaker 1: didn't infect it didn't impact me too much because I 1533 01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,880 Speaker 1: was already slow. It didn't make me slower. So hopefully 1534 01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't make Christian Harrison slower because he's really fast 1535 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 1: and we saw that training camp in the days that 1536 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,080 Speaker 1: we saw him, he was really fast to the ball. 1537 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,240 Speaker 1: But it's his aggressive, his football violent nature. I think 1538 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,320 Speaker 1: that adds a little bit more to the run defense 1539 01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:24,760 Speaker 1: in particular. Now. And where would you see him playing though, 1540 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,200 Speaker 1: Like what what linebacker spot do you think he would 1541 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,160 Speaker 1: Because I get asked that, it's like, yeah, you know, 1542 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he would take I don't think he 1543 01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,160 Speaker 1: played stronger week right, Yeah, I mean he'd be stronger 1544 01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,519 Speaker 1: a week And I mean there's a case to be 1545 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 1: made for you know, look, Garret Wallow has played tremendously. 1546 01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean I thought Garrett stepped into the game against 1547 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,600 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and ironically, the game he started last year as 1548 01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:47,640 Speaker 1: a rookie was against Jacksonville. Eleven tackles. He was all 1549 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:49,719 Speaker 1: over the place, he had a key tackle for a loss, 1550 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,560 Speaker 1: he had to pass break up the other day. He 1551 01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,320 Speaker 1: really played well. I just feel like there's a combination 1552 01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 1: that you could put on a field with Wallow that 1553 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 1: has Wallow and Harris in it, and you're run defense 1554 01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:03,640 Speaker 1: is gonna go up a step. The other thing I 1555 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,800 Speaker 1: noticed that Lovey did on Sunday against the Jaguars, and 1556 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,559 Speaker 1: part of it was because the weather was it was salty, 1557 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 1: it was it was in the nineties. Down in the field. 1558 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:16,639 Speaker 1: He rotated his linebacker group. Right, Typically a linebacker group 1559 01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,960 Speaker 1: is staying out there at least one or two guys 1560 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,680 Speaker 1: are staying out there every play, every play, and that's 1561 01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 1: really Bang Christian Kirksey and Kama gruget Hill. But the 1562 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,599 Speaker 1: other day when he would play three guys, he would 1563 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 1: have those two with Wallow and then he would take 1564 01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:34,360 Speaker 1: them out and he would put in Jay Louise Mayben 1565 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,000 Speaker 1: nevill Hewitt and Jake Hansen and they went in there 1566 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,840 Speaker 1: and they played a few series throughout the game too. 1567 01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:44,040 Speaker 1: So maybe there's a rotation that happens until they get 1568 01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 1: to a point that they've got solid on the three 1569 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 1: guys or two guys when they're in nickel, three guys 1570 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,080 Speaker 1: when they're in base that they have out there at 1571 01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:51,840 Speaker 1: that time. And he talked about it the weather, and 1572 01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: I think he just also through the first month of 1573 01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 1: the season wasn't thrilled with the results of the crew 1574 01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,960 Speaker 1: that he was setting out, So give it a shake up, 1575 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 1: and then you think probably Blake Cashman gets added back 1576 01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:07,759 Speaker 1: into that mix as well. So theoretically Cashman and Hansen 1577 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: could get you know, thrown into the pot and you 1578 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 1: shake things up and see what happens in that regard. 1579 01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 1: So something to keep an eye on. Yeah, no doubt. 1580 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,200 Speaker 1: And just getting Christian Harris back on the field, to me, 1581 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:20,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna okay, that's a that's another rookie. I know, 1582 01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,479 Speaker 1: it's one of your five top picks from the draft 1583 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,120 Speaker 1: that hasn't he hasn't played yet. He and met you're 1584 01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,240 Speaker 1: the only two. I joked with Lovey at some point 1585 01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,479 Speaker 1: I said, I said, coach, I don't really understand why 1586 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 1: a guy that practiced one time after missing five six 1587 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,120 Speaker 1: weeks of time that people wanted to talk about Christian Harris. 1588 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,800 Speaker 1: But I guess maybe it's the I mean, they were 1589 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,599 Speaker 1: asked the question about that hit in the Jacksonville game, 1590 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,120 Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I don't think he's gonna 1591 01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 1: be active. What are we doing here now? I felt like, 1592 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 1: you give him another week, then you get the buye week, 1593 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: and then you bring him back after that and then 1594 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be hopefully another couple of weeks to get 1595 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,519 Speaker 1: healthy and stronger than I think that's the way you go. Now, 1596 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,240 Speaker 1: let's see now what I understand why people were asking, 1597 01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,840 Speaker 1: because I mean, I get it. The defense has struggled, right, 1598 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 1: this is one of your like I said, top five picks, 1599 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,280 Speaker 1: this us. They see what he did at Alabama in 1600 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 1: the title game, and on top of that, they see 1601 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 1: the hug between love he smith SiO on draft nights. 1602 01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,559 Speaker 1: So it's like, who is this guy and one of them? 1603 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:17,920 Speaker 1: This is where I'm going with that. The one of 1604 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:19,720 Speaker 1: the thing I would add to that is you've seen 1605 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,880 Speaker 1: what the other rookies have doing. Yeah, I've done Yeah. 1606 01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,439 Speaker 1: And if those rookies have been good and they saw 1607 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,679 Speaker 1: that in Christian Harris, then man, he must be pretty 1608 01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: good to let's shot him on the field. So I 1609 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,800 Speaker 1: understood the excitement, but it just felt like it was 1610 01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 1: needed to be tempered to look like ask a question. 1611 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 1: We don't need five questions in the press conference. Asked 1612 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 1: about that. That was that was my That was my 1613 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:41,680 Speaker 1: whole deal. And look, I understand understand the media. I 1614 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:43,679 Speaker 1: understand what they're trying to do, but I just was like, why, 1615 01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 1: Like you got an answer, You're not gonna get a 1616 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,680 Speaker 1: different answer. It's not gonna change the answer. And I 1617 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 1: think love at that point new He's probably not gonna 1618 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:52,680 Speaker 1: be active, but it's gonna happen soon. So now, if 1619 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,280 Speaker 1: you want to ask the questions this week, I think 1620 01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 1: it makes sense because I do think that we'll see 1621 01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:02,120 Speaker 1: Christian on the field, worst case, worst case on special teams, 1622 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 1: worst case on special teams. With four four speed in 1623 01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 1: his size, he could be a factor on special teams 1624 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 1: because they've gotten some really good play. Some of those 1625 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 1: guys who talked about Jalen Reeves mayben special team just 1626 01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 1: outstanding Christian. That makes now too, and it gets really 1627 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 1: exciting what they can continue to do, no doubt. All Right, Well, 1628 01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,400 Speaker 1: I can't wait back to football, back to Las Vegas 1629 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 1: for the first time, well first time for me since 1630 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:25,840 Speaker 1: the draft because I got to go in April. So 1631 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 1: how about this little nugget about this trip? Yeah, so 1632 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:35,799 Speaker 1: the four regular season games to playoff game out fourteen, sixteen, nineteen, 1633 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 1: and twenty two, all different spots, all different spots. How 1634 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 1: about that the first time in franchise history we've played 1635 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:46,320 Speaker 1: an opponent in four different spots. Ah Oakland in fourteen 1636 01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 1: sixteen was a city in Mexico City, nineteen was here, 1637 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,040 Speaker 1: and then twenty two is at Las Vegas. That's crazy. 1638 01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:55,760 Speaker 1: Whenever we play the Chargers and the Rams in the 1639 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,360 Speaker 1: regular season, will have played those two places, those two teams. 1640 01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,679 Speaker 1: Was franchise in four different spots as well in franchise history, 1641 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,240 Speaker 1: not that time span that you mentioned. But with the 1642 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,640 Speaker 1: Chargers San Diego played them in the Soccer Stadium in 1643 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 1: nineteen in La right, right, and you've played them, you 1644 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,720 Speaker 1: will have played them here as well as so far 1645 01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,719 Speaker 1: the new place and then the Rams Colosseum Saint Louis 1646 01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,799 Speaker 1: so fine here. Wow, there you go. We're just showering 1647 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:24,920 Speaker 1: you with all sorts of knowledge West Coast trips man stuff. 1648 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:26,360 Speaker 1: I guess they got it figured out now. They got 1649 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 1: Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas, and they got so far. 1650 01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 1: I would imagine it's it's gonna be that going forward. 1651 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,839 Speaker 1: But I was like going to the Colosseum out in Oakland. 1652 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 1: Loved it, loved to be you know. One little nugget 1653 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 1: before we go, One thing I loved about that stadium 1654 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 1: of the many things, is you do the postgame press 1655 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 1: conference in the Oakland A's weight room, listening to Arian 1656 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,200 Speaker 1: Foster talking about his big day, and then you look 1657 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,800 Speaker 1: and behind the backdrop there was a bench press, and 1658 01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 1: you think, and I wonder what Jose and Mark McGuire, 1659 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 1: Jose Canseco and Mark McGuire were putting up on a 1660 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 1: bench back in the day. Absolutely to love that. The 1661 01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,599 Speaker 1: seventies A's were. I know it's weird, but just five 1662 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,960 Speaker 1: baseball history, they're always one of my favorite teams. You know, 1663 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 1: the battle and as they're always fighting each other, but 1664 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 1: they were, they were fun. I'd love those jerseys, right Jackson, 1665 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,320 Speaker 1: and it's always cool. Eighty nine ninety's those guys should 1666 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 1: have they should have swept. That should have been three 1667 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:19,920 Speaker 1: straight World Series. The only one the one in eighty 1668 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 1: nine we got beat by the Dodgers and eighty eight 1669 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 1: with Kirk Gibson and Roll Firsheiser ye and then somehow 1670 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,800 Speaker 1: the Nasty boy Reds swept them base bullpen, but they 1671 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,000 Speaker 1: still should not have beaten those ads. Anyways, that's neither 1672 01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:32,920 Speaker 1: here nor there. This is in the lab, and this 1673 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,560 Speaker 1: is some of the wacky wild stuff you get on 1674 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 1: this podcast. We'll talk about it again next week and 1675 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 1: hopefully we're talking about it. Texans win and get ready 1676 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,519 Speaker 1: for the Titans one ten. So love. Yeah. One of 1677 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:46,599 Speaker 1: the things that hit me is we were talking Mark 1678 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:48,599 Speaker 1: and I was looking at the Texans schedule. I don't 1679 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:49,519 Speaker 1: know why I had it up in front of me, 1680 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 1: but I was looking at the Texans schedule. And this 1681 01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 1: is a game against the Las Vegas Raiders, right, we 1682 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,800 Speaker 1: all know that game starts three oh five Houston time. 1683 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 1: Then the Titans are playing at an Energy Stadium the 1684 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 1: following week, So the day before Halloween, the Titans are 1685 01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:08,360 Speaker 1: taken on the Texans and that's also a three h 1686 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:14,920 Speaker 1: five kick. Then Monday to Day Wednesday, Thursday, four days later, 1687 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,799 Speaker 1: the Texans are taking on the Eagles at Energy Stadium. 1688 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 1: That'll be battle Red Thursday. That a Red Sunday Battle 1689 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 1: our better Red game where the Texans will break out 1690 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 1: the red helmets. A man, those things are sweet. I 1691 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 1: cannot wait to see what that looks like. And that's 1692 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:30,800 Speaker 1: why I asked a question to Lobby smith Er this week. 1693 01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,599 Speaker 1: The Bears have worned just that dark navy blue helmet 1694 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: forever and also they wear that orange lid on Thursday night, 1695 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 1: it was like, well, it kind of caught your eye, like, wow, 1696 01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 1: it looks a little different. It's gonna look different. We've 1697 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,560 Speaker 1: worn the red jerseys, we've worn the white pants. We 1698 01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,120 Speaker 1: just never warn a red helmet or any other helmet 1699 01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 1: for that matter. So that's gonna be cool. But that 1700 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,120 Speaker 1: game is at seven fifteen, so the Texans have a 1701 01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:53,760 Speaker 1: three or five three or five seven fifteen. It's kind 1702 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 1: of it kind of throws your football homeostasis off a 1703 01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 1: little bit because you're so used to playing at noon 1704 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,760 Speaker 1: locally or on the East Coast one o'clock whatever. You 1705 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 1: play those early afternoon games. Well then you get the 1706 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:10,759 Speaker 1: mini buy after the Eagles game, and then it's twelve twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve, 1707 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,559 Speaker 1: twelve all the way through the rest of the season, 1708 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,320 Speaker 1: which that'll get, you know, eleven weeks straight. Now they're 1709 01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,960 Speaker 1: not on Sunday because Christmas Eve, I think is on Saturday. 1710 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,840 Speaker 1: So we played Chris Receive, so all that kind of 1711 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,559 Speaker 1: stuff is going on with it. But game this week, 1712 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,720 Speaker 1: if you're out in Las Vegas, it's one oh five 1713 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,960 Speaker 1: local time, three oh five Houston times, so make sure 1714 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:30,560 Speaker 1: you got that. Because we played the Broncos. It was 1715 01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 1: three twenty five, so it's a little different, So make 1716 01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,560 Speaker 1: sure we're all on track with that. But yeah, it 1717 01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:37,360 Speaker 1: would be nice to get it went over the Raiders. 1718 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 1: That would be tune and roll on the road and 1719 01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 1: come back and take on the Titans, all geared up, 1720 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:44,719 Speaker 1: ready to go. And the Titans play the Colts this weekend. 1721 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,120 Speaker 1: Who do we want to win that? One? Guy? These 1722 01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:50,640 Speaker 1: AFC South battles, they're hard to figure out. Early in 1723 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 1: the year, I didn't know to cheer four Jagson Colts 1724 01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,200 Speaker 1: last week, no idea, just kind of watching it going 1725 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,680 Speaker 1: beat each other up, just beat each other up. And 1726 01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, we ended up getting a Colt twins and 1727 01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,960 Speaker 1: the Jags laws, So I guess it was fifty good 1728 01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 1: fifty percent bad. Oh well, even Stephen, just like Jerry Seinfeld. 1729 01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:08,200 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna go around the NFL. Some news 1730 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,160 Speaker 1: and notes from things happening around the NFL. That's next 1731 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,200 Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access.

Glad to see them, at least in limited capacity. 1742 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:54,240 Speaker 1: Back on the practice field for the Raiders on Monday 1743 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 1: night against the Chiefs, not this pass on day but 1744 01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,800 Speaker 1: the money before where they played the Chiefs. While Darren 1745 01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,719 Speaker 1: Waller they're all tight end. He'd been dealing with hamstring. 1746 01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:06,720 Speaker 1: He was a DNP I would imagine. I don't speculate there, 1747 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:11,479 Speaker 1: but man, no, Darren Waller, Oh that's just I don't 1748 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:13,880 Speaker 1: want to say it makes things easy, but that's a guy. 1749 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't think the Texas could match up really well 1750 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 1: against giving them out the Adams want to rent for 1751 01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:20,719 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But Waller did not participate 1752 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:24,640 Speaker 1: limited participants. Jayon Brown, Mac Hollins and Foster Moreau the 1753 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 1: other tight end Brown deal with hamstring, Hollands a heel, 1754 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:33,320 Speaker 1: Foster Moreau dealing with a knee issue. Now game on 1755 01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,800 Speaker 1: Thursday night is between the Saints and the Cardinals, and 1756 01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:42,400 Speaker 1: these teams are banged up from a fantasy perspective. Marquis 1757 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:48,320 Speaker 1: Brown Cardinals out. Jarvis Landry out, Marshawn Lattimore as defensive player. 1758 01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 1: He's out Anders Pete of a lineman, he's out, Michael Thomas, 1759 01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 1: He's out. Adam Troutman out. Both teams have five guys 1760 01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:01,400 Speaker 1: each out of this game. James Honor, running back for 1761 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, is a game time decision. So if you 1762 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 1: got James Connor your fantasy team, you're gonna have to 1763 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,080 Speaker 1: probably hold that submission whether you want him to play 1764 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 1: or not. About ninety minutes out, you'll see whether he's 1765 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 1: active or inactive. So keep an eye of James Connor 1766 01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,600 Speaker 1: if you got him on your fantasy team. He is 1767 01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,879 Speaker 1: a game time decision for tomorrow night's game on Amazon 1768 01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:23,439 Speaker 1: Arizona two point favorite.
