Speaker 1: Happy Friday. Everybody, Welcome into a TGIF edition of Texans
Speaker 1: All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm Heros John
Speaker 1: Harris getting ready for another visit from the Seattle Seahawks now,
Speaker 1: and I say another visit. It's a little odd because
Speaker 1: every eight years we play the Seahawks in Houston. The
Speaker 1: odd part was, for some reason things got switched around
Speaker 1: at twenty two thousand nine, two thousand and nine played
Speaker 1: in Seattle. Know five played in Houston. Oh nine, We're
Speaker 1: supposed to be up in Seattle and thirteen, but for
Speaker 1: some reason they moved that game to Houston and then
Speaker 1: moved the twenty seventeen game up to Seattle. And both
Speaker 1: of those were oh boy wow. I was actually today
Speaker 1: went back and watched the twenty thirteen not the full game,
Speaker 1: but like a condensed version of the twenty thirteen Texans
Speaker 1: Seahawks game. And that's a Seahawks team minus Percy har
Speaker 1: Rvin that ends up going to the Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl, just completely trouncing the Denver Broncos
Speaker 1: in that Super Bowl. I remember the first play of
Speaker 1: the game, ball snapped over Peyton Manning's head two points
Speaker 1: right off the bat and Denver was chasing the entire
Speaker 1: game and never had any chance of catching that Seahawks team.
Speaker 1: The thing about it, as I watched that game for
Speaker 1: about three and a half quarters, the Texans completely dominated.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking peak jj Watt, Peak, Cushing, Ninja,
Speaker 1: Antonio Smith, Jjoe and Kareem and Jjoe is going to
Speaker 1: be a part of the festivities on Sundays. We'll get
Speaker 1: that on Sunday, we'll get that. A little bit later.
Speaker 1: The offense had Brandon Brooks, Chris Myers, Wade Smith. Now
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown didn't play in that game, and that was
Speaker 1: Ryan Harris who played in that game. Dwayne didn't play
Speaker 1: that game, and I'm trying to remember why. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: it was it was an injury as some sort, but
Speaker 1: Dwayne and playing that game. But my got it. Offensive line,
Speaker 1: Holy cow, Arian Foster, Hop Dre Owen Daniels, Garret Graham,
Speaker 1: Holy smokes. When you think back and go that team
Speaker 1: my two and fourteen. Now, Cushing did get hurt against
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and Hop was just a rookie, and there
Speaker 1: are probably some other injuries there. I think Arian was
Speaker 1: banged up for probably the last half of the year,
Speaker 1: and it just you couldn't get going in the right direction.
Speaker 1: But watching that game and all of the players in
Speaker 1: it on both sides, oh my goodness. I mean Cushing
Speaker 1: forcing a fumble on Marshawn Lynch, Marshawn Lynch, Marshawn Lynch's
Speaker 1: run out of the shadow of his own end zone.
Speaker 1: That game is just crazy. And of course Richard Sherman
Speaker 1: is one adds to pick six and takes it back.
Speaker 1: But wow, I mean that game was It's one of
Speaker 1: the great games of Energy Stadium minus Richard Sherman. Let's
Speaker 1: pick then. That was obviously the issue in twein thirteen
Speaker 1: matchup just took a nose dive. Case wasn't quite ready
Speaker 1: and TJ just couldn't summon the magic from twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: And they were just close games all year and they
Speaker 1: just couldn't get over the top. I mean, they were
Speaker 1: ahead of the Colts by how many at half time? Anyways,
Speaker 1: points being that twenty thirteen team gets more consistent quarterback play,
Speaker 1: and there's no telling where that team is going to
Speaker 1: end up. I mean, it was just they just couldn't
Speaker 1: get go in the right direction. If they hang on
Speaker 1: to that win, they're three and one, getting ready for
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Maybe they don't beat San Francisco, but because
Speaker 1: that was a good San Francisco team. But they end
Speaker 1: up playing the Rams next week. They beat the Rams
Speaker 1: of four and two, and now they're kind of often going.
Speaker 1: But it didn't happen. And wow, that was eight years ago.
Speaker 1: That was last time Seattle was in that building. Bobby
Speaker 1: Wagner still making place in that game. He had a
Speaker 1: fumble recovery in that game that was just phenomenal Ben
Speaker 1: Tate that ended up leading to three key points for
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in the late third quarter, and that was
Speaker 1: kind of what got the Seahawks going. So hopefully that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, because Bobby Wagner is still playing in this
Speaker 1: league and still doing a tremendous job. Now I started
Speaker 1: going on a far raging path of twenty thirteen, and
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna do that with twenty seventeen because
Speaker 1: being on the sideline for that game' that's the greatest
Speaker 1: football game I've seen live, greatest game I've ever seen live.
Speaker 1: I used to say it was the twenty twelves A
Speaker 1: championship game with George and Alabama was thirty two twenty nine.
Speaker 1: Chris Connelly caught the last pass, but no time outs
Speaker 1: and he slipped down at the five yard line. They
Speaker 1: couldn't get another playoff. I used to think that was
Speaker 1: the greatest one, but twenty seventeen was the greatest one
Speaker 1: I've seen live. It was incredible, incredible, and the Texans
Speaker 1: unfortunately haven't won either one. Russell Wilson led the Seahawks
Speaker 1: to come back wins in the fourth quarter in both
Speaker 1: of those and hopefully that does not happen on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Now we got a lot to do. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: to Traymont Smith, which I've been looking forward to. Traymonds
Speaker 1: a guy I've been watching it for a long time.
Speaker 1: I'd call a couple of his games when he was
Speaker 1: that Central Arkansas in his senior year went against HPU
Speaker 1: where he makes a pick that is just stupid good.
Speaker 1: So I love that Traymond's gonna be around here. I
Speaker 1: think he's a right fit. Whether he's at a dB,
Speaker 1: or he's returning, or he's contributing on punk cover. Whatever
Speaker 1: Traymond's doing, he's doing a great job of it. Recover
Speaker 1: that fumble at Tennessee. So Traymon Smith with our deep
Speaker 1: Interview of the week. We're gonna have Brevin Jordan doing
Speaker 1: a little Drew's Dozen tonight and he'll also join us
Speaker 1: for Drew Doherty's final word. We've got my Keys. We've
Speaker 1: also got my Predictions presented by Caesar's Rewards for every
Speaker 1: Way you Play. And we kick off tonight show with
Speaker 1: your head football coach, David Color. You sat down with
Speaker 1: Mark van im here to talk about Davis Mills new
Speaker 1: starter at quarterback and many other things. Mark, take it away,
Speaker 1: coach with Davis Mills, he had some experience before sat
Speaker 1: for a while. Now he's back in the lineup. What
Speaker 1: is that sitting time, that observation time too for him? Coach? Well,
Speaker 1: obviously when he was in there, he was thrown in
Speaker 1: there all of a sudden and he had to learn
Speaker 1: on the run, and basically I thought he did a
Speaker 1: nice job of handling that situation. And then when Tyrod
Speaker 1: came back, he got to sit. But I felt like
Speaker 1: the six games that he played to that point will
Speaker 1: be invaluable for him moving forward. And he prepared just
Speaker 1: like he was a starter when he was the backup.
Speaker 1: When Tyrod came back and he expected it at some point.
Speaker 1: If it ever came to this, he'll be ready to go.
Speaker 1: And that's what the backup quarterback should do. Davis at
Speaker 1: home did a good job protecting the football. So how
Speaker 1: do you balance that versus taking some risks to move
Speaker 1: it down field, big plays, whatever you're looking for. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, getting the ball down the field is okay,
Speaker 1: you know, And it's not about taking a risk and
Speaker 1: knowing that something bad is going to happen. It's just
Speaker 1: that when you make good decisions and you're getting the
Speaker 1: ball down the field, we throw it down the field.
Speaker 1: He's just got to make sure that he's seeing what
Speaker 1: he seeing and if he's seeing the right things, you
Speaker 1: make the throw, regardless of if it's a deep throw
Speaker 1: or throw outside and numbers inside and numbers. You just
Speaker 1: make those throws and you be comfortable with what you're doing.
Speaker 1: And I feel like he's comfortable with that. Now. Seattle
Speaker 1: gives up a bunch of yards but not too many
Speaker 1: points coach, So it seems like they're pretty good at
Speaker 1: stopping people in the red zone. They have been very good.
Speaker 1: You're one of the top red zone teams defensive teams
Speaker 1: in the league, and I hope we get to test
Speaker 1: them to see how good they are in the red zone,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if we can't make them a little
Speaker 1: bit not as good as what they have been. But
Speaker 1: the key is you got to get down there. And
Speaker 1: when they've gotten down there, they do a great job
Speaker 1: mark of keeping the ball in front. They do a
Speaker 1: great job of with their eyes seeing things. They don't
Speaker 1: do a whole bunch of man coverage. They make you
Speaker 1: hit the seams and make you throw the ball where
Speaker 1: there's nobody at And when you're down in the red zone,
Speaker 1: everything is tighter. You know, things happen quicker, and you
Speaker 1: know you got to be precise when you're down there.
Speaker 1: Coach Russell Wilson, how important is it to keep him
Speaker 1: in the pocket? How do you handle him? You face
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I know they're not the same kind of guy,
Speaker 1: but they both make plays on the run. How do
Speaker 1: you handle Russell Wilson? Well, make sure our outside rushes
Speaker 1: are containing, make sure if he comes out of the pocket,
Speaker 1: he goes back in the pocket instead of getting outside
Speaker 1: the pocket. But when he does get outside the pocket,
Speaker 1: the thing about him is he's not looking to run
Speaker 1: the ball. He's looking to throw the ball. But when
Speaker 1: you make him stay up inside the pocket, when he
Speaker 1: gets ready to throw the ball, you get your hands up.
Speaker 1: There's been a bunch of batted balls when he steps
Speaker 1: up into pocket. But we just gotta keep him contained.
Speaker 1: And there's gonna be times when he's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: get loose. He's done in his whole career. We've just
Speaker 1: got to contain that and keep it to a minimum. Coach,
Speaker 1: we talk about special teams every week, but this third
Speaker 1: phase is really important in a game like this, field
Speaker 1: position wise and everything else, it is most important. And obviously,
Speaker 1: when you're playing complimentary football and one group is not
Speaker 1: taking care of their business and every body's not doing
Speaker 1: the right thing, usually you can always go back to
Speaker 1: your special teams and look for something positive to happen,
Speaker 1: whether it's a kickoff return, a punt return, or getting
Speaker 1: them backed up, changeing field position. And this is the
Speaker 1: kind of game where it is so important because they
Speaker 1: kind of play the same way. Thanks for the time, coach,
Speaker 1: good luck, thank you, Mark, and there we go. David
Speaker 1: Mills going to be the starting quarterback. Coach Kelly confirmed
Speaker 1: that today at his Friday press conference, which a lot
Speaker 1: of times is not he does want He doesn't really
Speaker 1: do a press conference on Friday. He meets with the media,
Speaker 1: but don't do it publicly. But in something like this,
Speaker 1: he decided to say publicly, so every station in town
Speaker 1: TV and radio could get the audio and use it
Speaker 1: to his end or hers discretion. So David Smills going
Speaker 1: to be the starter. We're talking about that in our
Speaker 1: keys in our next segment. We're gonna talk We're gonna
Speaker 1: do our keys in the segment early, but we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that and what the keys of the game to
Speaker 1: be and how does Davis Mills go against this Seattle defense.
Speaker 1: And of course we got a lot to talk about,
Speaker 1: all right, we got to talk about with this and
Speaker 1: this is the Friday status report, and with the game
Speaker 1: on Sunday, this is the injury report that I always
Speaker 1: wait for. It's at this point of the year you
Speaker 1: look at it and go, wow, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys on this list. And it's not surprising if you've
Speaker 1: been watching Hard Knocks. The in season Hard Knocks, which
Speaker 1: I think has been fabulous, very very good, a lot
Speaker 1: of foreshadowy of things that happened. And of course, because
Speaker 1: it's not preseason games, it is stars that they're miking
Speaker 1: up that they're following, not guys trying to make the
Speaker 1: roster that maybe nobody knows. Yeah, it ends up being
Speaker 1: a good story. But with the Stars, it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: I've really found it, and not just because it's the Colts,
Speaker 1: but I found it pretty interesting. But one of the
Speaker 1: things that they really focused on in this past episode
Speaker 1: was how banged up everybody was, and they were just
Speaker 1: from Xavier Rhodes to to force Buckner to Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: really how banged up everybody was and is well, it's
Speaker 1: like that throughout the league, and that was kind of
Speaker 1: their point, and that really hits home in this particular game.
Speaker 1: The Texans have two four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen,
Speaker 1: eighteen players on the injury report. Now, if there is
Speaker 1: a bit of good news, only one player is out
Speaker 1: for the Texans. That's not the case for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: We'll get to them a second. But only one player
Speaker 1: is out. That's Terrence Brooks. Now that's not great because
Speaker 1: I want TV to be back in the lineup, but
Speaker 1: he is out deal in the hamstring. He did not
Speaker 1: participate in practice all week long, so not surprising. With
Speaker 1: a hamstring, he is out. Kevin Pierre Lewis popped up
Speaker 1: on the injury report on Friday as a DNP, and
Speaker 1: that typically. I'm sorry he was a limited participant the
Speaker 1: first two days. My bad, I missed that he was
Speaker 1: a DMP on Friday. So that's not trending. You want
Speaker 1: to see limited, limited, full, not limited limited DMP. Well,
Speaker 1: he's questionable. Limited participants. Oh boy, Brandy Cooks deal a
Speaker 1: back issue. Now. Brandon was a limited participant in practice
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, but he was I believe back full. He
Speaker 1: wasn't even listed on the injury report on Thursday. He
Speaker 1: pops up as a limited participant on Friday. He is questionable.
Speaker 1: John Grenard. Grenard has been dealing with that foot issue,
Speaker 1: so he was limited on Wednesday, DMP on Thursday, limited
Speaker 1: on Friday. He's questionable. Brevin Jordan dealing with a hand issue,
Speaker 1: and God bless Brevin. This was I think it was
Speaker 1: the Jets game. You know what, guys come over, I
Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, shake hands, dat him up whatever,
Speaker 1: And so I reached out like I was gonna shake
Speaker 1: his hand. He's like, sorry, bro, I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, he goes, I hurt my hand and that
Speaker 1: hand continues to be an issue. It's a DMP. On Wednesday,
Speaker 1: he was a limited participant on Thursday, he was limited
Speaker 1: on Friday. He is questionable. A J. Moore dealing with
Speaker 1: a hip did not practice the first two days at all,
Speaker 1: is limited, so he went DMP, DMP limited, so he's
Speaker 1: moving the right diaction. He's questionable. And then Jimmy Morland
Speaker 1: dealing with a foot issue, and I don't believe that
Speaker 1: he was on any practice. Yeah, he practiced Wednesday. Thursday
Speaker 1: popped up with a foot issue, limited participant. He is
Speaker 1: questionable for Sunday. Full participants. Guys that showed up on
Speaker 1: the injury report throughout the week Justin Britt MALIEK Collins,
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, Titus Howard, David Johnson, Christian Kirksey, Jacob Martin,
Speaker 1: Justin McCrae, Terrence Mitchell, Tyrod Taylor all full participants today
Speaker 1: at practice. Titus is the only one that was new.
Speaker 1: He had an ankle issue. Limited on Wednesday, limited on Thursday,
Speaker 1: but then he was a full go on Friday, and
Speaker 1: he is a full go ready to go, So I
Speaker 1: would imagine Titus start at left tackle, so Britt Howard
Speaker 1: both in. That's good for the offensive line. Justin McCrae
Speaker 1: should be back deal with that concussion. So we'll see
Speaker 1: how the Texans put together their offensive line, whether it
Speaker 1: is Justin McCray back in, or it's gonna end up
Speaker 1: being Max Sharping as it was last week. Now, the
Speaker 1: Seahawks list is nowhere near as long two four, six, eight, ten, eleven. However,
Speaker 1: of those eleven, four players are out now. One of them,
Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure why he's on here because he
Speaker 1: got hurt last week against the forty nine ers. It
Speaker 1: was reported that he had surgery on Wednesday, and that's
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams. He's out, So doesn't matter to us for
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams what happens over the last how many differ games.
Speaker 1: But I don't understand why they didn't put him on IR.
Speaker 1: I guess they think maybe come back. Who's to say,
Speaker 1: but Jamal Adams. Pro Bowl safety out Travis Homer, who
Speaker 1: last week as a personal protector, took a snap went
Speaker 1: seventy three yards on a fake punt touchdown in the
Speaker 1: first quarter. He is also out Brandon Shell, a tackle
Speaker 1: is out and former Texans seventh round draft pick Kyle
Speaker 1: Fuller offensive lineman out with a calf questionable. And this
Speaker 1: is big because if Adams is out, you've got to
Speaker 1: have the other Pro bowler back there. Net's Quandre Diggs
Speaker 1: out of Angleton, played University of Texas. He is questionable
Speaker 1: with a calf. Everybody else in Damian Lewis, Jakerhan dj Reid,
Speaker 1: dk metcalf, Brian one all in, Kyle Fuller offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: Brandon Shaw offensive lineman out, Jamal Adams, Pro Bowl safety out,
Speaker 1: Travis Homer calf hamstring leading Russia last week because he
Speaker 1: had that seventy three yard touchdown run out. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: that was long, and I'm not surprised. You get to
Speaker 1: week fourteen and it's all hands on deck. So the
Speaker 1: Texans will be without Terrence Brooks. The Seahawks will be
Speaker 1: without four players key in each regard. Kyle Fuller has started,
Speaker 1: he has played some on the offensive line. Jamal Adams
Speaker 1: obviously is a Pro Bowl safety. We will not see
Speaker 1: two players in Larrmy Tunso Jamal Adams that were traded
Speaker 1: for first dual first round picks. We've only seen that
Speaker 1: with one other player, and that's Jalen Ramsey, non quarterback,
Speaker 1: non quarterback. Only three players and Jalen Ramsey's one Lemmy
Speaker 1: Tonsol Jamal Adams. Over the last couple of years, Thore's
Speaker 1: been the three guys. Two of them for these franchises
Speaker 1: will not play on Sunday for their respective teams. Now,
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm keeping my fingers crossed is going
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday is Brevin Jordan. Well, he sat
Speaker 1: down with Drew for Little Drews Dozen. Drew take it away.
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan, rookie type end for the Houston Texans, is
Speaker 1: with us. This is your first Drews dozen. We're excited,
Speaker 1: have you okay? You were born on July sixteenth. There's
Speaker 1: been some very notable folks also born on that date.
Speaker 1: Will Farrell, Wow, I did not know that sixteenth. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson, the head football coach the Cowboys way back when.
Speaker 1: Now he's on the TV. Carly Lloyd, the soccer star,
Speaker 1: the female soccer star. She's maybe maybe the best soccer
Speaker 1: player ever. I know that. Yeah, she's she's born in
Speaker 1: the date. And the great Barry Sanders. You've seen that.
Speaker 1: I knew that good. Let's do the top five of those.
Speaker 1: Where's the ranking go? You're in there, I'm in the
Speaker 1: I'm in the r ranked those five on July sixteen.
Speaker 1: I know I'm dead last. Okay, humility, that's a good string.
Speaker 1: I'm dead. I gotta put Barry Sanders on the top. Actually, nah,
Speaker 1: Jimmie Johnson, shout out my guy from Miami. Okay it
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Johnson. Give me Barry Sanderson number two. Who
Speaker 1: were the other? Will Farrell and Carly Oh? Will Farrell,
Speaker 1: big man? Yeah, you're knocking him down a few pigs
Speaker 1: doing this ranking like that. I gotta put Carly Lloyd
Speaker 1: at three, Will Ferrell four. Okay, but you're you're a
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell fan, right, big Will Farrell fan. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite Will Ferrell movie all time? A couple? Yeah? What
Speaker 1: are your favorite rits? Favorite movie by Will Farrell? I
Speaker 1: gotta say Step Brothers. That's a pretty good one. Right.
Speaker 1: You know, we're in a spot here where there's plenty
Speaker 1: of space for activities. We're not gonna do activities, so okay, no,
Speaker 1: no karate, okay, I understand. July sixteenth is also Guinea
Speaker 1: Pig Appreciation Day. Did you know that. I absolutely did
Speaker 1: not know that you know anything about guinea pigs or
Speaker 1: I have one, neither of I just thought i'd throw
Speaker 1: that out there. So if you had something fun to say,
Speaker 1: who's your all time favorite NFL player? Like when you
Speaker 1: were growing up? Who did you just love a door
Speaker 1: more than anybody football wise? Or was it baseball or
Speaker 1: was it basketball? Was it something else? Man, I couldn't
Speaker 1: even tell you. So many there's so many, I mean,
Speaker 1: peel them off. We don't have to have just one.
Speaker 1: I'll probably go with. Growing up, it was always Bo
Speaker 1: Jackson to me. Yeah, Bo Jackson was my god, just
Speaker 1: loved I just he was just such a freakish athlete
Speaker 1: and he played baseball. Yeah. So, but I mean now
Speaker 1: that I've you know, I got transitioned to tight end
Speaker 1: in high school, so tight ends weren't really like my
Speaker 1: guys that I looked at and admired at the time.
Speaker 1: Were you playing before that? Running back? Oh? To tight
Speaker 1: end in high school? And then but now that I'm
Speaker 1: in tightenand I'll probably put Antonio Gay up there, Dallas Clark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a couple of guys, man, It's just
Speaker 1: the list goes on. Honestly, I'm pretty old. We saw
Speaker 1: a lot of Dallas Clark and a lot of bad
Speaker 1: ways with this organization way back when. Because he was
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, Colton was probably good. Yeah stuff, guy throwing
Speaker 1: on the ball was pretty excellent. A Hey, what was
Speaker 1: your first job ever? I've never had a job. This
Speaker 1: is my first Your first job? About that, right, it's
Speaker 1: not a bad start. Good stuff. I was a lifeguard
Speaker 1: my first job. So you're from Las Vegas. Best thing
Speaker 1: about Las Vegas that people don't really know about it's
Speaker 1: very diverse. But for me, I would say it's just
Speaker 1: the bond that everybody has. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: people in Las Vegas are just so nice. Like you
Speaker 1: could be walking up and down the street going to
Speaker 1: grab your Starbucks or something, and somebody would just be like, like, hey,
Speaker 1: how are you? You You know what I'm saying, Like, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just a lot of people out there are
Speaker 1: very sweet. And I would say, just the bond that
Speaker 1: you know, local Vegas people have with each other, it's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. You think that's maybe in part because so
Speaker 1: many of them are in some way connected to the
Speaker 1: service and hospitality industry and so it's kind of in
Speaker 1: their nature now at that point, Yeah, I think so, yeah,
Speaker 1: how how often do you get or want to get
Speaker 1: back when you can? I try to get back as
Speaker 1: much as possible. I mean the bye week I went
Speaker 1: back out there. I mean, Vegas is my home. Man,
Speaker 1: my grandfather, my grand my grandmother, everybody on both sides,
Speaker 1: my mom and dies, they all live out there. So
Speaker 1: Vegas is literally like my home. Is it fun when
Speaker 1: people come to visit you that aren't from there? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's always funny because people just literally think about going
Speaker 1: to the strip, and I'm like, we don't go to
Speaker 1: the strip, Like that's the most tourist thing. Like we
Speaker 1: go to the strip to go get some food or something, right,
Speaker 1: fancy food, but we don't just go to the strip.
Speaker 1: So it's always cool. So what's sort of fun stuff
Speaker 1: do you do when when really Fundy's from college in
Speaker 1: I mean really just hang out with friends, go to
Speaker 1: like stuff like top golf. I mean, you can go
Speaker 1: doom bugging out there. There's a lot of stuff. You
Speaker 1: can go snowboarding when it gets to the winter, so
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of fun stuff besides the strip.
Speaker 1: Who's better on a snowboard you or tight end Pararell Brown.
Speaker 1: I knew you were going to ask that me, no question.
Speaker 1: Pharrell Brown's elite, don't don't get me wrong. That's how
Speaker 1: elite you are. Yeah, he's elite, but you're super elite.
Speaker 1: I think I'm coming with a different type of pressure.
Speaker 1: Can you wake surf like him? No? I can't do that.
Speaker 1: I can't wake surf. I'm more so just a fishing guy.
Speaker 1: Just like to go fishing. And that's that's really just
Speaker 1: my cup of tea. Saltwater, freshwater both. I mean, when
Speaker 1: I went to Miami for college, I got a good
Speaker 1: taste of saltwater fishing. Saltwater fishing was so funny. That's
Speaker 1: the good stuff. What was sort of stuff did you
Speaker 1: catch down there? Yellowtail, tuna, barracuda, mahi amy and everything,
Speaker 1: dof everything, literally everything. It was so cool. It's different
Speaker 1: down here. It's the Gulf. We got some good saltwater fishing.
Speaker 1: I need to go fishing out here, I do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll make that happen. We'll figure that out. Best Christmas
Speaker 1: gift you ever got was what my eighth grade year,
Speaker 1: Me and my two brothers, my mother, we got a
Speaker 1: Cabin Park, City of Utah, and we just met the
Speaker 1: weekend out there, and with snowboarding, I was a really gift. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as we got older, you know, I don't really believe.
Speaker 1: This is a lot of credit to my mom, but
Speaker 1: I just don't really believe in items like I rather
Speaker 1: create memories. Yeah, it's a great experience, right, Absolutely, that's
Speaker 1: a fun time. Had you started snowboarding by that point,
Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, I was bull blown snowboarding. I started
Speaker 1: snowboarding like maybe sixth grade. You're already elite at that point.
Speaker 1: I was pretty much good. Yeah, man, I had to
Speaker 1: floorwork and everything going. You got a favorite Christmas song? Probably, honestly,
Speaker 1: just because it's a classic. All I want from Christmas
Speaker 1: is You by Maria's a great one, right, just a classic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: believe there's a lot of people out there that that
Speaker 1: hate on it. If there's anybody that hates on it,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but it's like hating on greatness, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't hit on that song, right, and get some
Speaker 1: milk or something because you can't hit on that song. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is weird. But what's your favorite exercise in the
Speaker 1: weight room? What's your least favorite exercise of the white room.
Speaker 1: My favorite exercise, I'll probably say bitch prays because I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm only twenty years old, so my chest is kind
Speaker 1: of like I have a childest chest, so like I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get my chest up. And then my least favorite,
Speaker 1: I'll probably say, you know, this is no disrespecting my guy, Mike.
Speaker 1: But then planks in the beginning of the workout. We
Speaker 1: do side planks, other side and middle planks. Before the workout,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much like sweating a little bit. Planks are tough, man.
Speaker 1: That's there's no two ways about it. Those are really
Speaker 1: really tough. They are, right, bless yeah, because it's the
Speaker 1: whole body as right. What's the last meal that you cooked? What?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the last meal that I cooked? Maybe some spaghetti.
Speaker 1: I don't really cook like that though. No, I'm starting
Speaker 1: to learn more a little bit more about it. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I don't cook. I'm sorry. I need to work on
Speaker 1: it though. So you know, your quarterback, David's Mills is
Speaker 1: a bigger assuming. I asked him, like, how how do
Speaker 1: you like your steak? Thinking, oh, he'll say medium or
Speaker 1: medium rare. He went into this discourse for about two
Speaker 1: or three minutes about why I prepare suvied, And I
Speaker 1: was like, what's souvid? I didn't know what it's like
Speaker 1: where they put in a shrink wrap and they boil
Speaker 1: it and it takes an hour and a half to day.
Speaker 1: But he educated me, told me about all this other
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that's pretty interesting. What's the greatest
Speaker 1: invention of all time technology? I'll probably say Microsoft or
Speaker 1: just Windows or anything like that, whatever, Google, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think Audes stuff is pretty cool. Technology is pretty cool. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: we really appreciate the time. That's all it is. There.
Speaker 1: Just doesn't we just ask you weird stuff like that
Speaker 1: sounds good? All right? I mean Jordan, ladies and gents.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what Drews doesn't is. It's just a bunch
Speaker 1: of really weird questions that are really really fun because
Speaker 1: it's Drew asking the questions, and these players are very
Speaker 1: very honest and funny about it. So appreciate Brevin for
Speaker 1: stopping by. Hopefully they'll be more of those, and hopefully
Speaker 1: we're gonna see good old number nine on the field
Speaker 1: on Sunday coming up. We will go quickly around the league.
Speaker 1: Give you some of the injury information, which at this
Speaker 1: point of the year is vital to your fantasy football teams,
Speaker 1: maybe in championships, in the playoffs, whatever the case might be.
Speaker 1: So we'll take a quick run around the league next
Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access. It's all Access, It's

Speaker 1: this TGIF edition of Texans All Access. I am your host,
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter, and I do not
Speaker 1: play fantasy. I know a lot of you out there, dude,
Speaker 1: and that's cool. And you guys are probably gonna need
Speaker 1: that news. Who's in, who's out. We'll hit some of
Speaker 1: that and just hit some news around the NFL. I
Speaker 1: want to make sure I start with this one right here.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely horrible news. Waking up to this today was
Speaker 1: just it was a gut punch and a half. Former Bronco,
Speaker 1: Texan Patriot and Jet Wide receiver mainly known for his
Speaker 1: time with Denver Broncos Damarrius Thomas was found deceased his
Speaker 1: home in Roswell, Georgia. That's really hard to say, man,
Speaker 1: I just reading those words. DT was thirty three, and
Speaker 1: I'll never forget when we traded for him at twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: He had kind of got no point with Denver. He
Speaker 1: had been there since two ten, I think it was us,
Speaker 1: and it was about halfway through the twenty eighteen season
Speaker 1: and he had been asking for a trade. Things were changing.
Speaker 1: He just wanted to move on and have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to play for a winner, and that was not happening
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. And it just so happened on a
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Dolphins will Fuller towards ACL Brian
Speaker 1: Gain at the time, the general manager called John Elway
Speaker 1: they worked the deal and brought to Marius here. Our
Speaker 1: first game just so happened to be back in Denver,
Speaker 1: and I mean, you talk about emotional Holy Cow, And
Speaker 1: it was early in that game where Bill O'Brien had
Speaker 1: a couple of design players to go to Marius and
Speaker 1: I think he ended up with three catches in that game.
Speaker 1: But the Marius family came from Georgia to see the game,
Speaker 1: and I mean you talk about emotional. I mean we
Speaker 1: got on a bus after everything was done in the
Speaker 1: locker room and I got on a bus and I'm
Speaker 1: just kind of watching the scene outside the bus. And
Speaker 1: we have at that time, we had five buses, I think,
Speaker 1: and so we're always the last bus and we were
Speaker 1: bus five store watching and there's a throng of people,
Speaker 1: a throng of people around De Marius and Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: was there. Peyton's kids are hugging Da Marius. It was
Speaker 1: just it was incredible to see. The following week, we
Speaker 1: played on a Monday night against the Titans. It was
Speaker 1: De marius first game at NARG Stadium with the Texans.
Speaker 1: I think the last time he had been there was
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen with the Broncos. When the when Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: set the record and Damarius had a day that day, Westwalker,
Speaker 1: I'm sure too either way, now that it was his
Speaker 1: first game for the Texans. He catches two touchdowns, and
Speaker 1: if you remember that game, the Texas had gone down
Speaker 1: ten nothing and then roared back. Lamar Miller had a
Speaker 1: ninety seven yard touchdown run that the fourth and goal
Speaker 1: stop right before that and ran away from that game.
Speaker 1: That was the the celebration of Bobby Near's life that night.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's emotional night. DT has those two catches,
Speaker 1: and so I say to our our media guys said, look,
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk to DT. Can I Can I
Speaker 1: get him as my postgame interview? Say yeah, let me
Speaker 1: see what I can do. So I'm sitting in the
Speaker 1: back and they get DT to come over. I've never
Speaker 1: met him. I introduced myself when I say, Damarius, I'm
Speaker 1: John Harris, sideline reporter. And he's got a smile as
Speaker 1: big as a stadium. He could not have been nicer.
Speaker 1: He spent time with me just talking. After we were done,
Speaker 1: I had stop on the phone and we just kind
Speaker 1: of chatted for a couple of minutes and it was
Speaker 1: unfortunate A few weeks later up in Philadelphia, he ended
Speaker 1: up I think Terry's achilles and he was not able
Speaker 1: to play the rest of the twenty eighteen season. But
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anybody in any way, shape or form
Speaker 1: have anything negative to say, and I would I would
Speaker 1: hope on a day like this that that would not
Speaker 1: come out. But even throughout the league, he was so
Speaker 1: highly respected and you could see why in the short
Speaker 1: amount of time that he was with us. I just
Speaker 1: absolutely loved the guy. And I hate to see someone
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty three, his whole life in
Speaker 1: front of him and taking from all of us way
Speaker 1: too soon. So thoughts and prayers to the Thomas family,
Speaker 1: to all the teams throughout the league that he impacted. Um.
Speaker 1: I know, my buddy James Palmer from NFL Network tweeted
Speaker 1: something that I retweeted just about what Demarrius meant to
Speaker 1: James and what James meant to de Marius, and that
Speaker 1: was just you know, when you meet those players and
Speaker 1: they say to you, look, man, you're the best. You
Speaker 1: always treated me fairly, You're awesome, and it's like, wait
Speaker 1: a second, no way, man, you're you're the guy that
Speaker 1: was always there for me whenever I needed a quote
Speaker 1: or I needed to know something. You were the guy
Speaker 1: went to for me. That's always been DeAndre Hopkins and
Speaker 1: had always been DeAndre Hopkins, and I know for James
Speaker 1: it was de Marius Thomas and unfortunately DT passed away
Speaker 1: way way too soon. Let's get to let's get to
Speaker 1: some of the information that you're gonna need to know.
Speaker 1: The Steelers ended up losing last night thirty six, twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I think Chase Claypool was still celebrating a first down.
Speaker 1: T J Watt was unfortunately knocked out of that game
Speaker 1: with a groin injury. Now they got the bye week
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry the mini buy and then they'll play
Speaker 1: again a week fifteen, so he's got a little bit
Speaker 1: of time to get back. TJ's got sixteen sacks on
Speaker 1: the year. But unfortunately the Steeler, for the Steelers, they
Speaker 1: took an LL last night. Buffalo Bills are taking on
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers down to Tampa this week. Star Latoule will
Speaker 1: not play. That's a big loss figuratively and literally for
Speaker 1: the Bills. I mean an awful, awful loss the Bears.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you probably have Alan Robinson
Speaker 1: and David Montgomery on your fantasy teams no designation, which
Speaker 1: means they are in. Justin Fields will also start that game.
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's gonna be dealtful with that hand, but they
Speaker 1: were going with Justin Fields anyways, so market accordingly, Justin
Speaker 1: Fields getting the start this week for the Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers. Burrow looks like he's ready
Speaker 1: to go, even though he is dealing with a finger,
Speaker 1: but he's ready. Tony Pollard questionable, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people have been picking up Tony Pollard on fantasy teams
Speaker 1: because of what he's been doing lately. He's questionable to
Speaker 1: play against Washington. No gut theory either way, but just
Speaker 1: keep that in mind if you've got him on your teams.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's taking on the Titans, and I think he's one
Speaker 1: of the better centers in the league. Brandon Linder's a
Speaker 1: back issue. He will not play against the Titans. So
Speaker 1: that's not really a fantasy thing, but it is something
Speaker 1: you definitely have to keep your eyes on with the well,
Speaker 1: if you dabble the Diet Cooke business, that might be
Speaker 1: something you want to think about. Titans coming off a bye.
Speaker 1: Jags starting centers out might be enough to flip you
Speaker 1: one way or the other, but who knows. The LA
Speaker 1: Chargers are taken on the Giants. Keenan Allen will not play.
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen with COVID will not So Keen Allen's on
Speaker 1: your fantasy team, put him on your bench. Make sure
Speaker 1: you get that done. Mike Williams fellow receiver and star
Speaker 1: cornerback Chris Harris, both COVID would be available if they
Speaker 1: continue to test negative. So especially if you have Mike
Speaker 1: Williams or you got the Chargers D you can want
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on what's going on with the Chargers.
Speaker 1: I would think the Chargers are gonna beat the Giants,
Speaker 1: but we'll do our predictions later in the show. The Giants.
Speaker 1: Mike Lennon is listed a questionable in that one. Yikes,
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is already out and Mike Glennon's questionable. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's time to pray for your gee man. If you
Speaker 1: got running back Elijah Mitchell, the rookie from the forty
Speaker 1: nine Ers who's had a whale of a season, he
Speaker 1: is out for the forty nine Ers out now. I
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier Quadre Diggs is listed as questionable for the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: but Pete Carroll said he's gonna be ready to play.
Speaker 1: He will play Sunday versus the Texans. That's coming home
Speaker 1: party for Quandre Diggs as a matter, I would imagine
Speaker 1: he's gonna have some family there, being from Angleton at all.
Speaker 1: He will play even though he's listed as questionable, but
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ready to go. The Titans are going
Speaker 1: out take out the Jags, and I mentioned Brandon Leonard's
Speaker 1: gonna be out for the Jags. The Titans have ruled
Speaker 1: out five players. Zach Cunningham will not play. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna be active in that one. But Jack Rabbit Jenkins
Speaker 1: doing the ankle he is also out. So I don't
Speaker 1: know how you play that into your fantasy team or
Speaker 1: if you down a diet coke business. But I got
Speaker 1: a feeling about the Titans. It's not a great one,
Speaker 1: but then again, what are you gonna do. The big
Speaker 1: news of the day, I guess locally, is the fact
Speaker 1: that Davis Mills will be the starting quarterback for your
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. What are the keys for him and the
Speaker 1: Texans to go get a win again? The Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 1: will do that next right here in Texans All Access. Alright, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: let's go. It's a tgi F edition of Texans All AC,
Speaker 1: says sim your host John Harris football antads sideline reporter.
Speaker 1: It's time from my keys to the game, brought to
Speaker 1: you by me, like in Talladega Nights Ballot Ricky Bobby
Speaker 1: and his car sponsor has a big Bobcat and then me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's me. So let's go. What do the Texans
Speaker 1: have to do to go get a dub against the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, a team coming off a thirty to twenty
Speaker 1: three win over the San Francisco forty Niners. Let's get
Speaker 1: my music going, get me hyped, and let's go. Now.
Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks offense has been not so good. Statistics
Speaker 1: tell you that. Just a general vibe tells you that
Speaker 1: they wouldn't got Shane Waldron from the La Rams. So
Speaker 1: they've been in the Shanahan squared McVeigh type offense in Seattle.
Speaker 1: It hasn't quite fit. They're averaging just under a hundred
Speaker 1: yards per game on the ground at ninety seven yards
Speaker 1: per game they had last week I think the number was,
Speaker 1: oh gosh, I want to say it was over one hundred,
Speaker 1: But seventy three of that came on Travis Homer's seventy
Speaker 1: three yard fake punt return for a touchdown. So fake
Speaker 1: punt run, I should say, not return. So they didn't
Speaker 1: do a lot last week. Now, they did have Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson last week, but he got banged up in that game.
Speaker 1: There's no telling him he's gonna play. Become of odd
Speaker 1: to see Adrian Peterson because we just saw him with
Speaker 1: the Titans in Nashville four weeks ago. Nice's with the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. We'll get to the second passing game just
Speaker 1: over two hundred yards per game, two hundred one point
Speaker 1: three yards per game. At twenty seventh, they total offense
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety eight point three yards per game. That's
Speaker 1: thirty first. I don't really want to tell you who's
Speaker 1: thirty second. I think you already know, but two nine
Speaker 1: eight yards for Russell Wilson. This crew is when you
Speaker 1: look at the talent and what's there, sort of inexcusable
Speaker 1: to not be more explosive. Now, this offense did score
Speaker 1: twenty three last week against the San Francisco for NiTi.
Speaker 1: So let's get to the keys. Now. Number one and
Speaker 1: number two kind of go together here. Number one is
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Don't know the hell's status of Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: for this game. Like I said, if we do see him,
Speaker 1: it would be the second time we see him in
Speaker 1: four weeks. I think the Texans are wired to be
Speaker 1: able to stop him because Adrian Peterson at this point
Speaker 1: in his career, he needs runway and if you give
Speaker 1: him just a complete clear path he can take that.
Speaker 1: He still has got that juice. But I'd have the
Speaker 1: juice too. It's not there. Let me cut it back here. No,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have that anymore. But they also have Rashot
Speaker 1: Penny and Homer won't play, So it's really Rashot Penny
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas and the Texans have got to do. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't say this. They have got to a be
Speaker 1: gap discipline, B, they've got to be they got to
Speaker 1: violently get off blocks, and see they've got to run
Speaker 1: everybody to the football. If they do those things consistently,
Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty good chance that they can
Speaker 1: shut down this running attack. I said this on Here's
Speaker 1: the thing this week and you see it on Instagram
Speaker 1: and some other places. You've got to eliminate completely run game,
Speaker 1: just completely take it away. And if you do that,
Speaker 1: you put the game on Russell Wilson's shoulders, which in
Speaker 1: the past it's kind of an iffy prop physition to
Speaker 1: do that. You almost want the Seahawks to run and
Speaker 1: you don't want Russell to have to kill you. But
Speaker 1: this year something is just off with everything with Russell
Speaker 1: in the passing game. So if you eliminate the run game,
Speaker 1: there's none of that and it's just Russell Wilson dropping
Speaker 1: back to throw the football time in and time out.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to have an opportunity to do
Speaker 1: some things, even though they've got two the best wide
Speaker 1: receivers that we can get to them in just a second.
Speaker 1: So if you eliminate the run game, yes, there still
Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson. He has victimized the Texans up one
Speaker 1: side down the other. But this is different. This just
Speaker 1: feels different watching him. He doesn't look comfortable. He's they're
Speaker 1: not letting Russ cook, let's put it that way. So
Speaker 1: if you eliminate the run game, Russell's always going to
Speaker 1: be a weapon. But you eliminate the run GameMaker one dimensional,
Speaker 1: then there are some things you can scheme up to do,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to do it against two of
Speaker 1: the best wide receivers in the league. Now you can
Speaker 1: argue if you want, no, Dk metcalf a Tyler Lockett
Speaker 1: are not the best duo in the NFC West, much
Speaker 1: less the league, but I would take them as the
Speaker 1: best duo in the MC West. I would take them
Speaker 1: as one of the top five duos in the league.
Speaker 1: And when they're clicking, but they're hard to stop. Last
Speaker 1: time DK metcalf was at Energy Stadium, he took the
Speaker 1: first catch, first pass he saw, hauled it in and
Speaker 1: ran away from everybody's seventy five yards against Old Miss.
Speaker 1: Now this is the Texas secondary, not Old This it's
Speaker 1: NFL game, a college game. But I've seen that joker
Speaker 1: up close and personal, and he is scary good. Then
Speaker 1: there's Tyler Lockett. The last time we saw him was
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. In that game, he caught six or one
Speaker 1: twenty one and we could not could not stop him.
Speaker 1: Those two together are extremely difficult to stop, but they're
Speaker 1: easier to stop if you slid on the run. Game,
Speaker 1: you play a little bit more nickel with tab there
Speaker 1: at the TAVI or Thomas at nickel spot. You could
Speaker 1: do some different things with DK and with Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 1: That's the offense now. Defensively, this group is pretty decent
Speaker 1: against the run, not like they've been in the past,
Speaker 1: but decent one hundred twenty point four yards per game,
Speaker 1: that's eleventh the NFL. But they getting torched through the
Speaker 1: air two hundred and seventy five point eight yards per game.
Speaker 1: They only have nineteen sacks. That's worse than the league.
Speaker 1: So getting the ball off and down the field is
Speaker 1: absolutely key. For Davis Mills. There will be no Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams now. Mall plays a lot near the box, but
Speaker 1: where that impacts you're throwing them ball deep is he'll blitz,
Speaker 1: he'll rush. He does a lot of things like a linebacker,
Speaker 1: and they ask him to do a lot of things
Speaker 1: like a linebacker. But he's not there. That might give
Speaker 1: you an extra half second to get someone down the field.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Brandy Cooks is gonna be able to play. He's
Speaker 1: that guy. Niko can go up over guys and take
Speaker 1: it off of somebody's head. This team is banged up
Speaker 1: at corner. The Seahawks are, they're banged up now at safety.
Speaker 1: Throw it deep. Let Davis haul off and throw it
Speaker 1: deep once twice, or I don't care throw it deep.
Speaker 1: Because you don't throw it deep and you keep banging
Speaker 1: your head against the run, you're gonna run to Bobby Wagner,
Speaker 1: he's still one of the best in the league, if
Speaker 1: not top three in the league. He doesn't run quite
Speaker 1: like he used to. I was watching him today for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, the game against the Niners, and I
Speaker 1: watched me. It's twenty twelve. He doesn't run like he
Speaker 1: used to, but man, he is smart. He can go
Speaker 1: find the football. He is still to me, the best
Speaker 1: there is in the league. And combined with Jordan Brooks,
Speaker 1: that's a great combination. So if you're not running it,
Speaker 1: then don't bang your head up against it. Take some
Speaker 1: shots to see what you can do against that secondary.
Speaker 1: But one guy you gotta watch is Daryl Taylor, number
Speaker 1: fifty two. This is one of my favorite draft prospects,
Speaker 1: alongside John Grenard. At twenty twenty draft. They both came
Speaker 1: out of the SEC. I love both of them. Had
Speaker 1: a chance to meet and talk with both of them
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. I love both. I wanted both
Speaker 1: of the Texans will turn out. We got John Grenard,
Speaker 1: but Daryl Taylor's tough. He's tough to stop, and Texans
Speaker 1: are having to throw it. You better find a way
Speaker 1: to protect against number fifty two. All right, we get back.
Speaker 1: How about a little Tremont Smith through a little deep
Speaker 1: slant with dpcity. That's the text of Texas All Access.
Speaker 1: We've got one hour in the book on this Friday
Speaker 1: issue of Texas All Access from the Hunday Texans Radio
Speaker 1: studio on a wonderful Friday evening. I'm John Harris football
Speaker 1: and a sideline reporter and so glad to be with you.
Speaker 1: I'm also a former teacher, and I'm calling all of
Speaker 1: my former teachers out there. Do you want to bring
Speaker 1: a little Texas footba all to your classroom? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that you do. Well, then you need to
Speaker 1: sign up for Toros Matris Presented by Conico Phillips. Toros
Speaker 1: Matris is a video series designed to help third and
Speaker 1: fourth graders learning how to tackle math in the classroom.
Speaker 1: Go to go to Houston Texans dot com slash Toros
Speaker 1: Mathros to learn more, a big thanks to our friends
Speaker 1: at Conico Phillips for providing Toros mathrils for all of
Speaker 1: my special teachers out there now. Twenty sixteen, I think
Speaker 1: it was. I think it was twenty sixteen, maybe twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen young man Central arc and saw one number
Speaker 1: one by the name of Tremont Smith. I was calling
Speaker 1: a game again against HBU and he was playing with
Speaker 1: a cast on his hand, and I was blown away
Speaker 1: by the speed, the athleticism. I loved him and I
Speaker 1: really wanted the Texans to draft him back in I
Speaker 1: think it was twenty sixteen, and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I think this guy, given some time, is going to
Speaker 1: be able to play. He's got the speed. You know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a good return guy, and hopefully he
Speaker 1: can develop into a good defensive back. Tremont Smith is
Speaker 1: the guy that has developed here in the one year
Speaker 1: he's been here. It was announced last week that he
Speaker 1: signed a one year extension, and I think that's valid.
Speaker 1: He's gonna come in here and do things on special teams,
Speaker 1: continue to work at his craft at defensive back. Tremont
Speaker 1: Smith is going to be here for the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two season. I think that's a great thing. It's a
Speaker 1: great thing that he sat down with Deepco for our
Speaker 1: Deep Slant Interview of the Week. Here's Tremont Smith. I've
Speaker 1: known him for a long time. Now you get to
Speaker 1: know him too. Here you go, it's the Deep Sight
Speaker 1: one on one presented by Exfinity. My guest this week,
Speaker 1: Traymon Smith, kickoff returner, defensive back. He's in year four,
Speaker 1: all right, Season four is not even over yet, and
Speaker 1: you've already got a contract extension. I imagine that's got
Speaker 1: to feel pretty nice for you, Traymon. Right, it's really
Speaker 1: exciting just to know my hard work and dedication to
Speaker 1: the game is actually being viewed as a and I'm
Speaker 1: going viewed as a hard worker. So I love it,
Speaker 1: all right. Are you surprised that the deal got done
Speaker 1: in season You're the first person with Nick Caserio to
Speaker 1: have a deal done before the season's over. Is that
Speaker 1: kind of what you expected for yourself when you signed
Speaker 1: here this offseason? Oh, That's what I was hoping for.
Speaker 1: That's always what I'm hoping for, honestly, But just to
Speaker 1: be the first guy and be one of the first
Speaker 1: ones talking negotiation with the contract is it's very exciting
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to be here, all right. Special teams
Speaker 1: coordinator Frank Ross he said that since you got here,
Speaker 1: you've shown a lot of improvement. How do you think
Speaker 1: you've improved since you got here? Oh, just with the
Speaker 1: little things detailing going out early to kids, kids, just
Speaker 1: it's just all the little things I've focused on this
Speaker 1: year and tried to hone in on. Were you going
Speaker 1: out early on your own before practice? Yeah? I did
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot more at training camp too,
Speaker 1: So I mean that's just the things you got to
Speaker 1: do towards training camp to work to get better, and
Speaker 1: just so when it's something back there in the game,
Speaker 1: it's like second nature to me. It's just real easy,
Speaker 1: all right. So a few weeks ago at Tennessee, we
Speaker 1: saw you recover that muffed punt. That was a heads
Speaker 1: up play because first of all, it was like pouring
Speaker 1: down rain. It happened also quickly with the ball bounced
Speaker 1: off the guy's leg and you were right there. You
Speaker 1: know what was going through your mind on a play
Speaker 1: like that when things are opening up so quickly and
Speaker 1: that sort of right, So it was a plus fifty.
Speaker 1: So my job was to go front of the return
Speaker 1: of why Aj ran the back line, and Aja did
Speaker 1: a good job of running that back line. Noticed the
Speaker 1: punt return and notice how close Aj wasn't try to
Speaker 1: make him stop making the play, and that's when it
Speaker 1: hit his foot And I'm just going to front the
Speaker 1: return and I see the ball like I'm seeing it
Speaker 1: happening in slow motion. Really just go to jump on
Speaker 1: it in the rain and slide a little bit and
Speaker 1: get dirty. That was fun. Yeah, it was fun to watch.
Speaker 1: And you also had a fumble recovery back as a
Speaker 1: rookie in twenty eighteen, right, and I believe that was
Speaker 1: against Seattle. How do you work on fumble recoveries? Is
Speaker 1: that something that you just have to be hyper aware
Speaker 1: of all the time on special teams. Yeah, you just
Speaker 1: always got to be running to the ball to being
Speaker 1: aware of your surroundings. You know, whether to pick it
Speaker 1: up or dive on the You just gotta be aware
Speaker 1: of those little things and just be close to the ball,
Speaker 1: always pursued to the ball. So you started off your
Speaker 1: rookie campaign with Kansas City. Last year you were at
Speaker 1: the Colts, but that twenty nineteen season you were with
Speaker 1: three different teams, right, So it was Kansas City, Green Bay,
Speaker 1: and then Philly. All right, so what was that season
Speaker 1: like for you? That was just two years ago, But
Speaker 1: to bounce around with three different teams over the course
Speaker 1: of a season, you know, what was that like for you? Physically? Mentally?
Speaker 1: It was crazy? You know, coming in getting drafted late
Speaker 1: round draft pick, I understand that, but I mean I
Speaker 1: signed a four year contract, so I'm just thinking, are
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be here four years for sure? And then
Speaker 1: going into that next season, I mean, you can kind
Speaker 1: of tell when things aren't going your way or if
Speaker 1: you fall in a depth chart, even though you're not
Speaker 1: supposed to be looking into that, but I could start
Speaker 1: picking up on it. And then once I did get cut,
Speaker 1: they did well. Initially I made the team after training
Speaker 1: camp that got moved to running back. I played a
Speaker 1: little offense. Actually, oh you did, yes, And then I
Speaker 1: end up making a team for defensive back again, and
Speaker 1: m I don't know. After they released me, my coaches
Speaker 1: came and talk to me. It was like, listen, you're
Speaker 1: a great player. I know you're gonna get claimed, Like
Speaker 1: we would love to sign you back to practice squad
Speaker 1: or whatever. Just work you as a fundamental player. But
Speaker 1: I mean I got claimed by Green Bay and its
Speaker 1: like you know, yes or no to that. And I
Speaker 1: enjoyed my time in green Bay. Actually got to be
Speaker 1: around some good guys and Aaron Rodgers and DeVante Addams,
Speaker 1: some generational talent players, so that was good. And then
Speaker 1: after green Bay, while I was there like ten games,
Speaker 1: went to Philly, got cut again, didn't get claimed this time,
Speaker 1: didn't get claimed off waivers. So I just waited my
Speaker 1: options then, and I felt like, I don't know, since
Speaker 1: I was already moving, I was like, why not, let's
Speaker 1: gonna try some a new city, new beginning. And didn't
Speaker 1: stay there alone though, so it didn't work out. And
Speaker 1: then you're at the Colts last year. But was there
Speaker 1: any point in your career, maybe that twenty nineteen or
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season, where you started to lose hope and think, man,
Speaker 1: this is really rough, especially think going into the NFL
Speaker 1: thinking you're gonna be with the team for four years
Speaker 1: and then you had to bounce around so much. Did
Speaker 1: you ever get to a point where you sort of
Speaker 1: lost a bit of faith or thought, I don't know
Speaker 1: how this is gonna go. Yeah, I feel like it
Speaker 1: was messing with my confidence a little bit for sure,
Speaker 1: just bouncing around, not basically being told you're not good
Speaker 1: enough for this team or you're not the right fit
Speaker 1: for this team. So but I just stayed training and
Speaker 1: stayed till my fundament. I was doing the little things right.
Speaker 1: When I was practice squad, I was just doing do
Speaker 1: extra reps and just do all the little things right
Speaker 1: and show these coaches they can trust me. And of
Speaker 1: course my talent is there, but just mainly building their trust.
Speaker 1: I imagine that when you play for so many different teams,
Speaker 1: you learn a lot about just the business of football
Speaker 1: and how things are done and different in different facilities.
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think you took away
Speaker 1: from from going to so many different teams in such
Speaker 1: a short amount of time or did you learn something
Speaker 1: about yourself through all that? Oh? I learned a lot
Speaker 1: from the players too. Of course, I've been playing with
Speaker 1: some good players, like Drafted was with Eric Berry second
Speaker 1: year in Kansas City, Tyring Come, I'm with him through
Speaker 1: training Kemp like the first three weeks. So I mean,
Speaker 1: just learning from those type of players, those elite players,
Speaker 1: I feel like they helped me a lot and just
Speaker 1: hearing them tell me to remain focused and just stay
Speaker 1: the course. That that was really big to me. All right.
Speaker 1: In college at Arkansas, you handed punt returns too, So
Speaker 1: I always have this question for returners, why do you
Speaker 1: think that you're more of a kickoff return in the NFL?
Speaker 1: Why not return punts too? Why do you think that
Speaker 1: your role is more on kickoffs and maybe not both
Speaker 1: or maybe one versus the other. Now that's big props
Speaker 1: to this king, Desim King too. He's a great point
Speaker 1: in return and he's electric with the ball. So I
Speaker 1: mean having that one two punch with us with two
Speaker 1: different type of returners. I'm more of a like one
Speaker 1: cut guy. He's more of a zig zag make a
Speaker 1: make a lot of guys me. So I feel like
Speaker 1: that that equals up to point return better. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: my running style kick return bet off its me and
Speaker 1: for this team in general. So yeah, down the downhill,
Speaker 1: aggressive speed and Frank Ross said that that you've got
Speaker 1: a lot of speed that you bring to the game.
Speaker 1: Did you ever run track or how did? I didn't?
Speaker 1: You didn't. I used to blame as you have asthma.
Speaker 1: You did, grew out of it. You grew out of it,
Speaker 1: So like, what did you use your speed for it?
Speaker 1: Did it help you another sports? Well? So, coming out
Speaker 1: really out of when I was getting recruited to college,
Speaker 1: all the college coaches doc the bigger schools thought I
Speaker 1: was slow because I mean high school, I played quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: but I never liked sprinted through the end zone. You
Speaker 1: played quarterback in the day school. I was like a
Speaker 1: little three a school okay, high school, and I mean
Speaker 1: I didn't I never had to run full speech, so
Speaker 1: they never got to see it. So I realized I
Speaker 1: was fast probably my first second year in college, when
Speaker 1: the level up and I really had to run sure,
Speaker 1: And that's when you realize that you were. Yeah, I'm fast.
Speaker 1: I think I was always fast because could nobody run
Speaker 1: away from the fastest guy. I'm gonna line up with him,
Speaker 1: all right? You trained with Justin Reid this offseason? How
Speaker 1: did the two of you meet? Oh? So we share
Speaker 1: the same trainer, Ron Clark. So how how did me
Speaker 1: and Jay read end up meeting? Because you would signed
Speaker 1: him here, but you had not really shown up for
Speaker 1: any activities shout the off season hadn't started. Yeah, me
Speaker 1: and Jay Reid, we like right off the season over,
Speaker 1: we'll go to Ron Clark and his facilities up there
Speaker 1: and just we talked ball with him a lot, learned
Speaker 1: a lot from you know, he played twelve years on
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and just it's just a great round.
Speaker 1: Clark just a great guy to be around. And then
Speaker 1: of course just me and just in retraining in the
Speaker 1: same facility, we ended up just clicking in. And then
Speaker 1: you end up in the same team together as well,
Speaker 1: in the same Backfieldie was there too, Oh okay, so
Speaker 1: so you cut sort of knew your backfield, yeah, new
Speaker 1: two before you actually start playing big for me, coming
Speaker 1: in knowing some guys, all right, our social media people
Speaker 1: tell me that you follow USA pickleball on Instagram? Are
Speaker 1: you a former player? Just a fan? So my agent
Speaker 1: loves pickleball. We do this trip in Naples every year
Speaker 1: after just after the season, and it's pickleball. He's heavy
Speaker 1: and pickleball. So your agents, yeah, my agent okay, and
Speaker 1: you yeah. And I played with him, of course, and
Speaker 1: he'll he'll filed his clients or whatever. And I mean
Speaker 1: it's just like life size ping pong to me, I
Speaker 1: love it, but those like it's older people that play,
Speaker 1: it's an older sports. So those old old guys are
Speaker 1: pretty good though. Yeah they have they have competitive champions
Speaker 1: competitive about that definitely in Naples, just like the home
Speaker 1: of the pickle ball really home of the pickaball tournament.
Speaker 1: It's crazy though, all right, So you just bought a
Speaker 1: home recently too, and you bought it in Houston before
Speaker 1: we're the contract extension, so you weren't afraid, like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna buy this house and then I'm kind of stuck
Speaker 1: with Houston no matter if Houston wants. I thought about it,
Speaker 1: But then I also thought as an event, mean, you know,
Speaker 1: if I wasn't wasn't to sign back with Houston next year,
Speaker 1: maybe rented out your BnB it out, maybe some of
Speaker 1: the players in the house, who knows. So I thought,
Speaker 1: maybe you just flew to Houston. You're like, I love
Speaker 1: this place. I got to have a house here. I
Speaker 1: do love it out here though. CD has everything you need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: bazing food and it's just he definitely coming from Alabama. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I also say it's kind of a I mean, you're
Speaker 1: still in the South with Alabama, but I imagine it's
Speaker 1: totally different, not in day, but you like Houston beside
Speaker 1: the traffic, besides the traffic, and maybe the summers. The summers, yeah,
Speaker 1: I take the hide me dato, Yeah, over the over
Speaker 1: the Yeah, because you've played in cold weather games. So
Speaker 1: on your Instagram you we found out that you have
Speaker 1: a dog, a French visit, a French bulldog, Louie. So
Speaker 1: Louie Louis has his own Instagram account. Do you run
Speaker 1: Louis Instagram account? Okay? Why did Louie need an Instagram account? Oh?
Speaker 1: I feel like he need to be off to the world.
Speaker 1: He's a great dog. He's bad, he's real hyper, but
Speaker 1: he's a great dogs general. Spoiled a little bit, spoiled
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's probably at home just roaming around
Speaker 1: right now. So but he don't potty in the house
Speaker 1: or that's important. That's important, That's key. That is the
Speaker 1: big thing. A little too much for my liking right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you you've got him well clothed though, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he has some clothes. He's in a lot of Louis Vatan.
Speaker 1: Is that what inspired you to name? Oh, his name
Speaker 1: is really Louis T instead of Louis vu. Why Louis
Speaker 1: T Oh my name? Oh? Okay? Oh and speed different
Speaker 1: lou I E Okay, that's important. I thought maybe I
Speaker 1: thought maybe the real Louis was taken on Instagram, so
Speaker 1: you just spelled different. He's got a couple of he's
Speaker 1: got a couple of ease in his name, so he
Speaker 1: wears a lot of Louis Vaton and you, you are
Speaker 1: also pretty fashionable yourself. How how would you describe your
Speaker 1: style because you grew up in Alabama, But I feel
Speaker 1: like there's like this West Coast vibe because I don't know,
Speaker 1: just just buying clothes. I have a bad problem with
Speaker 1: just going online and just buying close see something I
Speaker 1: like and eventually just put it together. I might not
Speaker 1: wear it to the next year, but like I got
Speaker 1: shoes and clothes that I haven't bore from last year.
Speaker 1: To you, really, well, once I find the right time
Speaker 1: to wear it, it's gonna be the right moment, okay.
Speaker 1: And then do you rewear it or do you just
Speaker 1: like put it to the back and then I put
Speaker 1: it to the back, you know, just I try not
Speaker 1: to rewear it, especially like to a game, Like I'm
Speaker 1: not wearing none of those of course, because that those
Speaker 1: pictures are everywhere. Yes, it's like I feel like I
Speaker 1: can't wear it. Then does Louis t repeat outfits? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he does. He has the bubble coat, he repeats. It
Speaker 1: wasn't when we was in Indie though, it was. We
Speaker 1: just brought it along with us. Yeah, he wears a
Speaker 1: little code. But now now he's just it's summertime, so
Speaker 1: me and him gonna take family pictures too. They offering
Speaker 1: family Oh my gosh, are you going to post those
Speaker 1: on his gram? Your Graham as well? All right, we
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see it. Well, Trumon, congrats on the
Speaker 1: contract extension. Can't wait to see what the rest of
Speaker 1: the year holds for you. And welcome to Houston. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, thank you for thank you for
Speaker 1: allowing me to be here. So on the first day,
Speaker 1: I was walking on Allay and I had I had
Speaker 1: heard that Bradley Roby was not gonna be there for OTAs,
Speaker 1: or at least that was kind of the rumor that
Speaker 1: I had heard, but I wasn't totally sure. I'm walking
Speaker 1: on the hallway and I see this guy. I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: that's I think that's Robie. And then I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: why is Robbie? Warning twenty four and I'm thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe mark Ingram wanted twenty one, because that was what
Speaker 1: mark ingramore Baltimore. Maybe Robie went to a different number.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Traymon looks a lot like Bradley Roby. Size wise,
Speaker 1: everything just looked a lot like Bradley Roby. And of
Speaker 1: course then Robie came to training camp then was subsequently
Speaker 1: traded to the New Orleans Saints. But now I don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about that. But once I saw them
Speaker 1: next to one other, was like, oh okay. But man,
Speaker 1: when I saw him, I thought, holy smokes, Robie's got
Speaker 1: a new number and he looks a little thinner. But yeah,
Speaker 1: than it ended up being Tremont Smith. So Glad Tremont
Speaker 1: is here and he's going to be here for the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season coming up. I've got to make
Speaker 1: all my picks. I did every single week, straight up
Speaker 1: against the spread, every NFL game. I broke down earlier
Speaker 1: some of the names they're gonna be key in games
Speaker 1: this weekend that aren't going to play, or some that
Speaker 1: are gonna Playlet factor all that in discuss it next
Speaker 1: on our predictions right here in Texas, All Access does
Speaker 1: does oh baby here we go tgi F. Thank god
Speaker 1: it's Friday at another F. Thank god it's football Friday,
Speaker 1: and thank god it is time for my predictions. This
Speaker 1: is my favorite segment to do all week long. Why
Speaker 1: First of all, I could talk about the league. Secondly,
Speaker 1: I get to make picks. I compete with myself. Thirdly,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much wrong none of the time, so I'm
Speaker 1: nearly perfect. And if you believe that I've got riverfront
Speaker 1: property to sell you in Arizona, is there a river
Speaker 1: in Arizona? Probably so I don't know. I gotta ask
Speaker 1: my buddy Tommy. Tommy and SuDS would know. They were
Speaker 1: both from Arizona one. We went there at University Arizona
Speaker 1: one with Arizona eight. So they're awesome, especially when it's
Speaker 1: the Territorial Cup. This year Arizona State won it again,
Speaker 1: so buddy Timmy not too happy with that. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: getting off track here. And by the way, I'm John
Speaker 1: Harris Football in a silent reporter for your Houston Texans
Speaker 1: and it's time. There used to be I think it
Speaker 1: was John Ward used to be the play by play
Speaker 1: voice for the Tennessee Volunteers. He would just say it's
Speaker 1: time for football and Tennessee. He was a great, great,
Speaker 1: great voice. My buddy Mike Keith with the Titans would
Speaker 1: agree with that. He worked with John Wards. So here
Speaker 1: we go. I gotta make these picks. I trying to
Speaker 1: decide whether it would have gotten last night's game right
Speaker 1: or not. I would have been right at it. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the spread was on that one, with
Speaker 1: the Viking's getting a win thirty six twenty eight, Chase
Speaker 1: Claypool still signaling first down in that game as the
Speaker 1: Vikings get a win by eight, saving maybe Mike Zimmer's job.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's in jeopardy or not. They
Speaker 1: got to six and seven, they're staying in the NFC
Speaker 1: playoff hunt. The Steelers fall to six six and one.
Speaker 1: Although there's some symmetry to that, it's not good, especially
Speaker 1: when you have some of the things going out with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger saying, Hey, it ain't my job to talk
Speaker 1: to Chase Claypool. That's all on a coach, which technically
Speaker 1: is true. Well, come on, Ben, be a leader, be
Speaker 1: a leader and talk to your boy. Get that get
Speaker 1: that stuff right, Get that stuff right? All right? I
Speaker 1: got picks to make, but I need my music. There
Speaker 1: is and it's time. Now, let's stay in the AFC
Speaker 1: North for our first one at noon. The Ravens took
Speaker 1: an l last week at Pittsburgh, taking on the Browns
Speaker 1: at six and six. The Ravens eight and four, knocking
Speaker 1: on the door of having the best record in the NFL.
Speaker 1: The Patriots right now have that. My goodness, the Patriots
Speaker 1: have the best record, and the Patriots are off this
Speaker 1: week after Monday night win over Buffalo Patriots into nine
Speaker 1: and four. The Ravens can get to nine and four.
Speaker 1: But how about this. In Cleveland, the Browns are favored
Speaker 1: by three, so Vegas looks at these two teams as
Speaker 1: being even I'm not sure I'm buying. I think the
Speaker 1: Ravens have the better quarterback, and that's how I'm gonna
Speaker 1: decide this one. Ravens are gonna win this, Yes, would
Speaker 1: be close. But if the Ravens win, obviously they're coming
Speaker 1: to that three. So let's take the Ravens full up
Speaker 1: money line, straight up dub against the Browns. The Browns
Speaker 1: will fall to six and seven, and that won't be
Speaker 1: good for anybody on that sideline. Two people in particular
Speaker 1: head coach Kevin Stefanski quarterback Baker Mayfield. But Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: works some magic again. Let's go thirty one twenty four
Speaker 1: Ravens win on the road. Titans and Jags AFC South combatants.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're the only two other AFEC South teams playing.
Speaker 1: The culture going to buy this weeks are the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I think the cults of Patriots play at some point,
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, Yeah, they got to play at some point.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the next week, bullseye. Either way, this is
Speaker 1: Jags and Titans. No Zach cunning Am playing for the Titans,
Speaker 1: no Jack Rabbit Jenkins playing for the Titans, and the
Speaker 1: Titans are favored by eight and a half. The Jags
Speaker 1: will be without starting center Brandon Linder, which, obviously with
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, is not a great situation. I just
Speaker 1: don't know what to think about the Titans. I really don't.
Speaker 1: There's no Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry loves to play against
Speaker 1: the Jags. He's not there. Although Datra Hillier to Deante
Speaker 1: Foreman both went over one hundred yards and the Titans
Speaker 1: last ball game. I think that's gonna be enough, does it?
Speaker 1: Get over the eight and a half. That's the question
Speaker 1: of me. That's what I'm struggling with. I'm gonna say, yes,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go twenty seven seventeen. Titans get to win
Speaker 1: and cover that eight and a half, all right. One
Speaker 1: of the great rivalries in sports. The Los Vegas Raiders
Speaker 1: are going to take on the Kansas City Chiefs and
Speaker 1: chief defense. The star for this team held the Broncos.
Speaker 1: I believed to nine points last week. Daniel Sorensen how
Speaker 1: to pick six. They were all over Teddy Bridgewater. I
Speaker 1: think that can happen against the Raiders as well. Kansas
Speaker 1: City is favored by ten. They house the Raiders on
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Tell on Sunday Night Football a few weeks back.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they do the same, and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I love the ten, but I just don't
Speaker 1: see the Raiders turning this thing around. I think with
Speaker 1: all that's happened to the Raiders this year, I just
Speaker 1: think it's too much each week, especially to take on
Speaker 1: our Chiefs team with a pre solid defense. Now, I
Speaker 1: think the offense will get it right for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: They'll put up enough points. I do believe they'll cover
Speaker 1: the ten. So let's go thirty four twenty Chiefs beat
Speaker 1: the Raiders at Arrow Hit. All right. Another Newton game
Speaker 1: is Saints and the Jets. Saints and the Jets, the
Speaker 1: Saints and the Well. I don't know. This is tough.
Speaker 1: New Orleans is favored by five and a half on
Speaker 1: the road, and I don't know that I trust the
Speaker 1: Saints for anything. The Jets, obviously, we saw them a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and played i've thought a solid
Speaker 1: ball game. We could have put them to bed early.
Speaker 1: We didn't. We allowed them to stick around, and that's
Speaker 1: when it gets competitive for them. You know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Jets in a surprise here. It's up
Speaker 1: in the meadowlands in MetLife. I'm gonna take the Jets
Speaker 1: in an upset to beat the Saints. Saints are favored
Speaker 1: by five and a half. I think, worst case, the
Speaker 1: Jets get a cover. But I'm gonna just pull the
Speaker 1: straight up wain Zach Wilson, go get it done, young man.
Speaker 1: Go get a W for the Jets against the Saints.
Speaker 1: I have no gut feel on that one. They're like nothing.
Speaker 1: Nothing is screaming at me. Another eight and four team
Speaker 1: taking on a six and six team. We saw that
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and the Raiders, the Chiefs going one
Speaker 1: direct and the Raiders in the other. This one is
Speaker 1: more the Cowboys kind of yeah, stuck in neutral, but
Speaker 1: doing enough to win games. Washington is the team that's
Speaker 1: really started turning to corner. Taylor Heinekey got the win
Speaker 1: last week out in Las Vegas seventeen fifteen, and now
Speaker 1: the Cowboys coming home. Tony Pollard for the Cowboys, who
Speaker 1: has been a big threat, is questionable. If Pollard is out,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the Cowboys can put enough on the
Speaker 1: board to cover four and a half. This feels twenty four,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, seventeen. I think it stays close. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys win it, but I think Washington's gonna get inside
Speaker 1: that four and a half that hook. I like this
Speaker 1: week with the Washington football team. Another noon game on
Speaker 1: the East Coast, which makes it one o'clock, the Panthers
Speaker 1: taking on the Falcons. Two five and seven teams, one
Speaker 1: team I don't think ever thought about being five and
Speaker 1: seven this year. One team at five and seven is
Speaker 1: probably overachieved a little bit, but it just shows you
Speaker 1: have competent quarterback play, and Matt Ryan like the Falcons, Dude,
Speaker 1: you've got an opportunity. Carolina is favored by two and
Speaker 1: a half, so Vegas is telling you on a neutral field,
Speaker 1: the Falcons are better than the Panthers, and the Panthers
Speaker 1: are kind of a mess. But the Panthers are coming
Speaker 1: off of bye week. They fired their offensive coordinator. They're
Speaker 1: now going with the offensive coordinator that Matt Rule had
Speaker 1: at Baylor, who it sounds like Rule trust a little
Speaker 1: bit more than Joe Brady. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: works wonders for the Panthers, But the Panthers come off
Speaker 1: the bye week, I think is the difference. They could
Speaker 1: sit down and get that thing ready. They've had some rest.
Speaker 1: I think that gets the Panthers ready for a stretched run.
Speaker 1: So we're going Panthers here and they're gonna cover that
Speaker 1: two and a half. I don't think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a blowout. I do think both teams will put some
Speaker 1: points on the board. I don't know. The Panthers defense
Speaker 1: is not as great as it was when we saw
Speaker 1: it in Week three, and Matt Ryan can't put some
Speaker 1: points on board. But I think the Panthers will outscore
Speaker 1: the Falcons this week and cover that two and a half.
Speaker 1: All Right, Lions v. Broncos in our at first afternoon game.
Speaker 1: Denver is favored by ten, and I got a feeling
Speaker 1: that there will be some emotion in that building as
Speaker 1: they show respect and pay respect to Damarius Thomas, who
Speaker 1: passed away early this morning. Denver is favored by ten.
Speaker 1: The Lions gotta win last week. And I always worry
Speaker 1: about a team that has struggled to get a win,
Speaker 1: to get a win, and then they have to go
Speaker 1: on the road. I think that sometimes, like hey, we
Speaker 1: got the women feel good and then you gotta go
Speaker 1: travel and it's like yo. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: happens here because I think the Lions have played well
Speaker 1: enough throughout the year. I mean, they played twelve games
Speaker 1: this year and they've they've been in almost every game,
Speaker 1: and they that tie should have gonna win for them.
Speaker 1: They shed two other wins. That team should have four
Speaker 1: or five wins, but it doesn't. They just didn't know
Speaker 1: how to finish the how to close last weekends the
Speaker 1: vikings the Lions did. I don't think they can close
Speaker 1: enough here. I think the Broncos will play with some emotion.
Speaker 1: They'll kind of bear their chest if you will, and
Speaker 1: play tough against the Lions. I think Denver wins this game,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to lay the points here. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the points for the Lions. But the Broncos
Speaker 1: get the outright win. The Giants are going to the Chargers.
Speaker 1: The Giants are a flipping mess. Daniel Jones out, Mike
Speaker 1: Glennon questionable. Those are your quarterback situations with the Giants.
Speaker 1: The Chargers, they've got a tough one at receiver because
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's out. Mike Williams is questionable due to COVID.
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. I think the Chargers are
Speaker 1: just gonna whoop up on the Giants games in LA,
Speaker 1: it's in so Fi. Charges favored by ten. I don't
Speaker 1: think the Giants are gonna score. It might be a shutout.
Speaker 1: I think they might. They might shut him out, but
Speaker 1: I'm going with thirty one seven Chargers win. That obviously
Speaker 1: gets you over the ten. Chargers move through eight in five.
Speaker 1: This is one of the sneakiest hottest game, sneaky hottest,
Speaker 1: sneakiest hot sneakiest hot. There we go games of the
Speaker 1: weekend right here. The forty nine Ers are coming off
Speaker 1: a loss last week, but sitting at six and six.
Speaker 1: The Bengals are coming off a loss last week to
Speaker 1: the Chargers, sitting at seven and five. Two teams that
Speaker 1: have got mega looads of talent. It's no matter whether
Speaker 1: they can all stay healthy and be healthy all at
Speaker 1: the same time on the road. San Francisco's favored by
Speaker 1: a point and a half. I don't know that. I
Speaker 1: like that. I think the Bengals will bounce back. Now.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow has been dealing with a little bit of
Speaker 1: a finger, but he worked out all week. He's gonna play,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with Joe Burrow in the Bengals.
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals will bounce back. I don't know
Speaker 1: that last week was truly representative of what they can do.
Speaker 1: They were down twenty four nothing early in that game
Speaker 1: and bounce back to kind of get to a respectable spot. However,
Speaker 1: I don't think the forty Nineers are in the same
Speaker 1: class of the Chargers, especially scoring a ball and there's
Speaker 1: no Elijah Mitchell. They're still gonna run the ball. I
Speaker 1: think the Bengals, though at home, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: them to win this game at one and a half,
Speaker 1: you get three when you're at home. So Vegas, Thanks,
Speaker 1: San Francisco's probably three to four points better on neutral field.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna roll the dice with Joey b and
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Joe Mixon being better than what Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: can do. And it's the second road trip in a
Speaker 1: row for the forty nine Ers. I'm going Bengals with
Speaker 1: an upset over the forty nine Ers. Afternoon game down
Speaker 1: in Tampa Boys. The Buccaneers at nine and three and
Speaker 1: starting to round into shape. Take it on the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: who will enjoy the weather in Tampa Bay. After the
Speaker 1: Monday night loss to the New England Patriots. That was
Speaker 1: an ugly performance all around for the Bills. There was
Speaker 1: a lot of finger pointing after the game. There were
Speaker 1: a couple of safeties that got challenged by well, let's
Speaker 1: be honest, kind of a idiot reporter. This one's tough.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bays favor about three and a half. There's no
Speaker 1: start of the two life for the Bills, and that
Speaker 1: bothers me because I think the Bucks can run the
Speaker 1: ball to the offensive line with Leonard Fournette. I think
Speaker 1: the Bucks win this. I don't know. I feel great
Speaker 1: about saying that, but I'm not sure that I would
Speaker 1: feel good about saying the Bills are gonna go upset them.
Speaker 1: I think the Bills and the Bucks play one of
Speaker 1: the games of the year on Sunday. I think this
Speaker 1: is gonna be a fantastic game. I'm going thirty five
Speaker 1: thirty one Bucks, and that's more than three and a half.
Speaker 1: Give the Bucks a win and a cover against Josh
Speaker 1: Allen and the Bills on the road. The Bears are
Speaker 1: taken on the Packers on Sunday night. I haven't checked
Speaker 1: the weather in Green Bay, but I got a feeling
Speaker 1: with some of the texts that I got from my mother.
Speaker 1: The weather is not going to be great in Green
Speaker 1: Bay on Sunday. In fact, as I check it right now,
Speaker 1: it may not be. It may be sunny and no snow,
Speaker 1: but there probably will be snow on the ground because
Speaker 1: it is snowing as we speak. That said, justin fields
Speaker 1: for the Bears, no not gonna happen this week. He
Speaker 1: does get David Montgomery back apparently. Allen Robinson apparently back.
Speaker 1: But I'm going with the Packers. It's a twelve and
Speaker 1: a half point spread. I don't know if I love that.
Speaker 1: That's a big number to try and cover, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Aaron Rodgers. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: if you guys haven't seen the NFL Films Presents segment
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers co produced with NFL Films on James Camping,
Speaker 1: Texas offensive line coach, Holy cow, go watch it. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 1: It is so it's it's every emotion you think of.
Speaker 1: It's funny, it's informative, it's emotional. I mean everything about it.
Speaker 1: It's so, so so good. Go check it out. Dpciti
Speaker 1: has got a story for you at Houston Texas dot com.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers talking about James Camping is just outstanding. Packers win,
Speaker 1: Packers cover. How about that? And then Monday Night, this
Speaker 1: might be the best Monday game of the year. Rams
Speaker 1: at Cardinals. Cardinals favored by two and a half. The
Speaker 1: Rams got a dub last week. They got off the schneide.
Speaker 1: Gotta win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Beating the Cardinals at home,
Speaker 1: that's a different story. However, the Cardinals at home versus
Speaker 1: the Cardinals on the road, two different stories. Some reason
Speaker 1: they don't play as well at home. In fact, the
Speaker 1: two losses that they have have come at home as
Speaker 1: opposed to on the road. Arizona's favorite by two and
Speaker 1: a half. But I think Arizona gets upset. How about that?
Speaker 1: Arizona gets upset. The Rams get it done on the road.
Speaker 1: McVeigh beats Kingsbury. I'm calling the upset Rams on the road.
Speaker 1: Circle of Wagons, OBJ with the game winning touchdown. Catch
Speaker 1: Rams beat Cardinals and cover that too and a half.
Speaker 1: All right, when we get back, we got some Houston
Speaker 1: Methodist minutes and it's Drew Doherty's final word with Revins
Speaker 1: Jordan's next the Texans All Access, since all Access, since
Speaker 1: all Access. We've got one final segment of this Friday
Speaker 1: Nation of Texans All Access. I'm your host, Sean Harrit's
Speaker 1: football into a sideline reporter. And we had a big show.
Speaker 1: We had Dave Culley on the show. We had Brevin Jordan.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Brevin Jordan again in this final segment. Now,
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, Brevin did a Drew's Dozen, which
Speaker 1: is nothing about football. In this segment, he will do
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty's final work, which is all about football. So
Speaker 1: we kind of get a little bit of both. We
Speaker 1: get both the apple and the cherry pie. We get
Speaker 1: the mashed potatoes and the stuffing. We don't have to
Speaker 1: pick one, we get both, and so it's kind of nice.
Speaker 1: But we also on a Friday night, get a chance
Speaker 1: to hear from the great doctors at Houston Methodist. And
Speaker 1: tonight the topic with Mark Vanimir is concussions. Mark, take
Speaker 1: it away. It's Houston Methodist Minutes. And joining us today
Speaker 1: is doctor Kenneth Padel, neuropsychologist and director of the Houston
Speaker 1: Methodist Concussion Center. Doctor, how's it going today, Great sir,
Speaker 1: how are you doing well? So let's talk about concussions
Speaker 1: and especially in kids teens. There's some new data out there,
Speaker 1: new studies. What can you share with us about this, doctor, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's been some surveys that have been going on and
Speaker 1: what they're basically showing is that kids are getting concussions
Speaker 1: and parents are becoming more aware of it. When they
Speaker 1: talk to parents of kids anywhere from zero up to seventeen.
Speaker 1: What they're showing is teenagers. For example, about twelve percent
Speaker 1: of teenagers will have had a concussion in their lifetime
Speaker 1: or these symptoms that strongly suggest that they may have
Speaker 1: had a concussion. Well, tell me what are some of
Speaker 1: the keys in the more difficult to diagnose concussions. What
Speaker 1: are some things to look out for, especially for kids
Speaker 1: playing sports or whatever. We might not think they have one,
Speaker 1: but they might so right now, there's no real blood tests.
Speaker 1: We're working on it, but they haven't found one yet.
Speaker 1: But usually what we're looking at our symptoms, and some
Speaker 1: of the more common symptoms are things like headache, dizziness,
Speaker 1: feeling a little foggy in the head, sensitivity to light
Speaker 1: or to sound. Even emotional changes are known to be
Speaker 1: signs of concussions when they first happen. What about recovery
Speaker 1: and how long that takes? And I got to imagine
Speaker 1: this varies. How do you know somebody's coming out of it.
Speaker 1: That's a very very good point. Very individual rate of
Speaker 1: recovery differs amongst individuals all the time. Typically for teenagers
Speaker 1: on the younger take longer to recover. So teenagers usually
Speaker 1: two three four weeks is what we're looking at. It's
Speaker 1: a gradual improvement. You know, what we're really looking for
Speaker 1: our recovery of memory, thinking headache or symptoms like that.
Speaker 1: So are they getting back to school, Are they able
Speaker 1: to keep up with their schoolwork, Are they be able
Speaker 1: to pay attention in their classes, take tests? There are
Speaker 1: some of the things that we're really looking for in
Speaker 1: the recovery. Can they go back to exercising. It's very
Speaker 1: important if your child does play or sport that they
Speaker 1: go back and no longer have any symptoms. If they
Speaker 1: go back symptomatic, there's a much higher rate of reconcussing
Speaker 1: and individuals that are still showing signs and symptoms of
Speaker 1: concussion overall in sports, and obviously we're in an NFL
Speaker 1: world here. Are you seeing a decrease with some of
Speaker 1: the advancements in prevention going on with helmets and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. I definitely think we're it may not
Speaker 1: be necessary via decrease, but we're doing a much better
Speaker 1: job of having it reported and doing a much better
Speaker 1: job of getting them treated. In the past, it never
Speaker 1: got reported, so the rate of concussion was very low.
Speaker 1: Nowadays the rate might actually be a little higher, but
Speaker 1: because it's getting reported, I don't think it's happening more.
Speaker 1: I think we're doing a better job of reporting it.
Speaker 1: In reporting it better, we're treating it better. For treating
Speaker 1: it better than we have less long risk of long
Speaker 1: term problems down the road. Doctor, thanks so much for
Speaker 1: the information. We really appreciate it. Oh you're welcome. Stay safe,
Speaker 1: you two, Doctor Kenneth Paell of Houston Methodist Concussion Center,
Speaker 1: the official healthcare provider of the Houston, Texans. Houston Methodist
Speaker 1: Leading Medicine. Great stuff there from Mark and the great
Speaker 1: doctors at Houston Methodist. Now it's time for Drew Doherty's
Speaker 1: final word. I started, it's probably about five or six
Speaker 1: years ago, said, you know what, Drew, I'm gonna make this.
Speaker 1: He always would give me his interview with a player
Speaker 1: that he did, and I said, I'm gonna make this
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty's final word, like you get the final word
Speaker 1: of any of our Texans radio shows heading into a
Speaker 1: weekend in which we're gonna play, and even if we're
Speaker 1: not gonna play, always, even if it's a bye week
Speaker 1: on a Friday, I always give that to Drew. So
Speaker 1: tonight it is with the aforementioned Brevin Jordan, Las Vegas
Speaker 1: Bishop Gorman High School, University Miami and now a Houston, Texan.
Speaker 1: And I know I'm thrown about that. I hope he
Speaker 1: is as well. Here's Brevin Jordan with Drew Doherty and
Speaker 1: the final word. We've got tight end Brevin Jordan. Brevin,
Speaker 1: it's great to be with you. Rookie season is clipping
Speaker 1: right along, team is looking for a win. How has
Speaker 1: practice been this week? What's it been like getting prepped
Speaker 1: for these Seahawks. It's been good, you know, just getting
Speaker 1: back out on the field. Anytime you take a loss,
Speaker 1: it feels good to just get back on the grass
Speaker 1: and just get back, you know, to what we left
Speaker 1: to do is play football. So to try to bounced back.
Speaker 1: Sixth game for you as a professional, what's that been like?
Speaker 1: How much different are you now versus where you were
Speaker 1: going into that first game you played about a month
Speaker 1: or so ago. I think I'm all mature, definitely. I
Speaker 1: Mean when I first got here, I was just I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm still twenty one years old, but I was just
Speaker 1: a little kid, you know, kind of just admiring the
Speaker 1: fact that I'm still in the NFL. And now that
Speaker 1: I've had to step up, I've had to grown up
Speaker 1: and go out there and really play. So I mean
Speaker 1: just I think overall, I've just learning how to be
Speaker 1: a professional and just keep being in this league. Learning
Speaker 1: had to be in it a long time. I've enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: How quickly did the admiring of the others get shoved
Speaker 1: the side when you gotta do a game pretty quick?
Speaker 1: I mean, it happened pretty quick. I mean I still
Speaker 1: look at like, you know, Brandon Cooks and just all
Speaker 1: those guys, those bands, and I'm just like, man, I've
Speaker 1: been watching you guys for a long time, so to
Speaker 1: be on the same team with them, it's pretty unbelievable.
Speaker 1: What's been the biggest challenge of learning this offensive system
Speaker 1: that you're in everything? When I first got drafted and
Speaker 1: had to learn the system with ab like through zoom
Speaker 1: and stuff, it seemed like Chinese or like, I don't
Speaker 1: even know the way the players were scripted and worded
Speaker 1: and everything the motions was just throwing me off. Was
Speaker 1: completely different. I didn't know anything. Yeah, you're not alone,
Speaker 1: you know. Years ago, late in the season, the Texans
Speaker 1: had some problems that had to bring in quarterbacks late
Speaker 1: and t J. Yates came in and he had played
Speaker 1: in a different offense with this team before, and he said,
Speaker 1: this is like learning Chinese put backwards. So you're in
Speaker 1: good company there. Done the wrong with that? Okay, you rookies,
Speaker 1: guys are tight. You guys have all talked about You've
Speaker 1: talked about it publicly. What's it been like being part
Speaker 1: of a class at every one of you is now
Speaker 1: playing and playing pretty extensively. You guys are building blocks
Speaker 1: for the future here. It's awesome. I mean we all
Speaker 1: lean on each other. I mean when when when whenever
Speaker 1: there's something going wrong or we need some clarity and stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's always good. You just go to you know,
Speaker 1: somebody that I've been with day one with and just
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. I mean, the whole rookie class, how we've
Speaker 1: come together and we've leaned on each other when we
Speaker 1: needed to lean on each other, you know, through the losses,
Speaker 1: through the winds, through everything, We've always just leaned on
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah. What's it like playing with Nico Collins
Speaker 1: and then your quarterback Davis Mills. You guys have gotten
Speaker 1: a lot of each other. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I've
Speaker 1: known Davis for quite some time. I mean I've known
Speaker 1: of Davis Quest some time. He's a West Coast guy.
Speaker 1: Well he's from Georgia, but he played at Stanford, so
Speaker 1: he's a West Coast guy. I know a little bit
Speaker 1: about him. And then Nico that's my guy man. Me
Speaker 1: and Niko always leading on each other with two receivers,
Speaker 1: so we always just depending on each other. Good stuff,
Speaker 1: all right. Let's talk about the Seattle defense. What impresses
Speaker 1: you most about the secondary and the biggest strengths of
Speaker 1: that unit. I would say how they fly to the ball.
Speaker 1: I mean they're there. They are flyers to the ball.
Speaker 1: They do not player with that. I think that's just
Speaker 1: their whole model though. They do want to fly to
Speaker 1: the ball and just make everything as happy as possible. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, he's done for the season, but they're all
Speaker 1: very confident. Whether you're talking to a coach, whether you're
Speaker 1: talking to a player about the guys coming in in
Speaker 1: his places. We gotta just see, we gotta just go
Speaker 1: out there and play football. Everybody in this league is good, though,
Speaker 1: so we're not just because Jamal Adams not playing. We're
Speaker 1: still gonna take Neil just as serious. Good stuff. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's see how you get powered for game day. Talk
Speaker 1: to me what time you go to bed the night
Speaker 1: before noon game? Who I mean, so my bedtime every night,
Speaker 1: I try to be in bed by nine o'clock nine thirty,
Speaker 1: no later. But I'd be so anxious and so ready
Speaker 1: to go on game days that it's hard for me
Speaker 1: to go to sleep. So I mean, I can't even
Speaker 1: give you an exact answer by I try to be
Speaker 1: in bed by night thirty. Gosh, I wish my children
Speaker 1: would get in bed back, man. It's it makes for
Speaker 1: long nights. Man. When you wake up in the morning,
Speaker 1: what are you eating for breakfast? Something simple? Now, actually
Speaker 1: it's not simple. Give me some hash browns, chocolate chip pancake,
Speaker 1: two pieces of bacon, two pieces of chicken sausage with blackberries, raspberries,
Speaker 1: and strawberries. Give me some orange juice of suja juice
Speaker 1: and a water about oh, and a coconut water. Shout
Speaker 1: out to Sarah and Ladden too. The whole intrition. What
Speaker 1: was the juice in between orange juice and water? You're
Speaker 1: Suja is saying the green the little green juices. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it has like celery, cucumber, lettuce. Yeah good, pretty healthy?
Speaker 1: Na not really. It's just good for you and for
Speaker 1: your at you good good good energy there. Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: what's the music that you're listening to. I'm listening to everything.
Speaker 1: I love music, so I might for me, I'm from
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, so I listened to a wide Ride. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll turn on some some little babies to little Wayne,
Speaker 1: I'll turn on some Jason Alden, Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson,
Speaker 1: whatever you want, I got it. I got it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, you're from Las Vegas. And if you want
Speaker 1: to hear more about that, we're gonna ask him some
Speaker 1: more Vegas questions in Drew's dozen. But we appreciate the
Speaker 1: time Jordan go out there and knuck him dead on
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Appreciate you. There you go
Speaker 1: a little Brevin Jordan with Drew's dozen earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: in fact, first segment, kind of bookend. Brevin wood Drew early,
Speaker 1: Brevin Withdrew late, Brevin and Drew no football, Brevin and
Speaker 1: Brevin and Drew a lot of football. That's what the
Speaker 1: final word is all about. It is about this game
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks. Kick is at noon. It's homecoming
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph. I cannot wait to see j Joe. I
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see him. Jjoe is the home field advantage, Captain.
Speaker 1: I have heard there will be on upwards of sixty
Speaker 1: former Texans in the building. I always love this game
Speaker 1: because now that I've been around the building a little
Speaker 1: bit more, there have been a lot of players that
Speaker 1: have come through the doors while I've been here that
Speaker 1: I've got a chance to know. Some of them I
Speaker 1: haven't seen for years, So I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: I hope you are as well. Get in the building,
Speaker 1: be loud, let's go up. It's Russell Wilson. He is
Speaker 1: two and oh against the Texans, never lost to the Texans,
Speaker 1: and I am all for changing that bagel to a
Speaker 1: one in making him two and one. That would be
Speaker 1: kind of nice as the Texans would then take win
Speaker 1: number three of the year. But a lot of work
Speaker 1: to do to be able to do it. A lot
Speaker 1: of people to thank for this shoke. I think Brevin
Speaker 1: Jordan got to thank Drew Doherty, Dpcity, who sat down
Speaker 1: with Traymont Smith, Mark van Amir, who chatted with David Culley,
Speaker 1: got thank my guy, Robert Harris back in studio, Robert
Speaker 1: Harris Junior doing a great job for me in studio,
Speaker 1: making sure that I don't say anything. I'm gonna regret
Speaker 1: all of you for listening. So we get into this
Speaker 1: holiday season, we talk about Thanksgiving, oh us and one
Speaker 1: day you give thanks. I give thanks for you guys
Speaker 1: every single day, everything, every single show, I was thank
