Speaker 1: on Saturday in anticipation of the big one on Sunday,

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Texans Titans at twelve noon, and General John McLean joins

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: us from the Houston Chronicles. So John safe to say

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: this is the biggest Texans Titans game in history. Agree

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: or disagree? Oh? Of course, markets by far the biggest

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: because first place in the division is on the line.

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: I wrote a column this week, and I know you

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: wrote about it. On your website about this rivalry should

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: have been intense, fears competitive, that the fans should be

22
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of the

23
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: other team. Instead, they respect each other. Fans here like

24
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: going to Nashville, a great city. Fans in Nashville like

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: coming here in great city. It needs to get ugly

26
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: and nasty. And when you played two times in three

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: weeks and first places on the line, there's a good

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: possibility of it. And then the chance that you can

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: play three times in four weeks. I'm guessing that's been

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: done sometime, but I certainly don't remember it. I expect

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: this rivalry takeoff. You got Vrabel, You've got other coaches

32
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: up there, and I can't wait for this game because

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: not just this one, but but all the rest of them,

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: of course, but this one was gonna be so much fun.

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: And for the first time since Jeff Fisher was taking

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: them to the playoffs every year. I expect every seat

37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: to be filled, every seat to be filled. We really

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: haven't seen that much lately. I think oh four, when

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: the Texans beat the Titans for the very first time.

40
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: Steve McNair was the quarterback for the Titans, I believe

41
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: the stadium had to have been full that day because

42
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: the Titans really hadn't rolling back in the early ohs.

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: But that's probably the last time it was that full anyway,

44
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been recently. I know last year before the game,

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: my friends who are all taken to older said, you're

46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna be amazed amy empty seats there are, because at

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: that time they were competing for first place, not like this.

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: But so I'm happy for Mike Vrabel and fans up there.

49
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Are got a lot of good friends up there in

50
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: the organization and who have tickets, and they're pumped about

51
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: this game, and they're pumped about their Titans. And Ryan Tannehill.

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: All right, let me talk to you about Ryan Tannehill

53
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: because we're seeing some really good numbers and a lot

54
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: of people are doing the stat comparisons in the last

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: several games between him and Watson. I don't know if

56
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: that's the best way to look at it if I'm

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: a Titan fan, but go with me here, Tannehill, is

58
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: he completely transformed or is this just a run that

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: he's making a fresh start kind of thing and he's

60
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: gonna come back down to Earth. What do you think

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: of it, thirty one years old. He's in his eighth season.

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: The highest rating he ever had in Miami was ninety

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: three in two sixteen, and he had injury issues at Miami,

64
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of talent around him. But this

65
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: year's ratings one or eighteen. His last five, last four

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: in their four game winning streak have been at least

67
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: one thirty one. Only second quarterback in history Russell Wilson

68
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: was the other to do that. Four games that are

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: ow they have four game winning streak. He's he's six

70
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: and one as a starter. There everything thirty one point

71
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: seven points in the four game winning streaking, thirty seven

72
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: points a game. And Derrick Henry has already set his

73
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: career high. He's on our way to fourteen fifteen hundred yards.

74
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: You have twelve touchdowns. As you know, he's a good receiver.

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of touchdown catches. So the play

76
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: action works so well for them because you have to

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: be prepared to stop the two or forty seven pound

78
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. And that's a great compliment to each other

79
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: that Tanney Hill has been incredibly accurate, completely almost seventy

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: four fifteen touchdowns, five interceptions. A lot of people were

81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: surprised that he runs so well, but remember at A

82
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: and M he played wide receivers. Speaking of A and M,

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell was up there for an autograph session this

84
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: season and he went over to the Fill League. Never

85
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: been so it's a lot of players happy to see

86
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, especially at Texan. Like Ryan tanny Hill. He

87
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: about introduced himself to Earl. He said, he said, I

88
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: went to Texas A and M. And Earl said, oh really,

89
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: He said, I like the Aggies really, you like the

90
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: aggies of men from you tea and all. He goes, Yeah,

91
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: the Aggies helped me win the Heisman Trophy, A nice one.

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: I was wondering where that was going. That's funny when

93
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: you have an oiler going up to Tennessee to visit

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: the Titans. It's just kind of weird. Just seems like

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: he should be visiting here. Well, he does visit here.

96
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: He was there for an autograph show and they asked

97
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: if he wanted to come over and get a tour,

98
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: so he did. Eddie George happened to be there, and

99
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: Eddie George and Earl Campbell are making an appearance tonight

100
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: in Nashville, just the two of them for an exclusive audience,

101
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: and I think that would be so much fun. I've

102
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: been around Earl telling stories and I know both those guys,

103
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and Eddie's asked me if he had another one in

104
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: August with him and Ray Lewis, and I was a

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: huge hit. And he asked me if I thought one

106
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: of his talks would go over down here, and I said, shoot, chat, well, yeah,

107
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: bring it, absolutely, bring it. Okay. So the Titans. We

108
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: mentioned Bryan Tannehill. You mentioned Derek Henry, what he's doing

109
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: second in the NFL and rushing. How did the Texans

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: stop him? They've been good at times against the run,

111
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: at other times not as good as they want. But

112
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: you have Reader up front, Yeah, Blackson, you have Charles A.

113
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: Mena who you have some guys who can stop the run.

114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: You just have to not bite on that play action stuff,

115
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: which is so hard to do. I believe in his

116
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: last game against Denver, the Texans did do two things. Well,

117
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, it got lost in the shuffle, as it

118
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: should have to, getting annihilated by rookie quarterback one of them.

119
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: They ran the ball better than they had in the

120
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: previous couple of games one hundred and thirty four yards

121
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: and they stopped the run better for the first time

122
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: in a month. So you know, I mean Philip Lindsay's

123
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: no slouts for the Broncos. The Texans have harnessed him

124
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: two years in a row. And Roy's freeman. They put

125
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: the they put they threw a net over him. Now,

126
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Henry's a different back, but we're talking about you know,

127
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: McKinney's a big guy. You mentioned the lineman. They're big.

128
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: They What you don't want to do is have him

129
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: blow through a hole, get on the second level, get

130
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: away from the linebackers, and then here's you know, one

131
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five pounds Jiathan Joseph closing in with

132
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: him going full speed or the other dp's. You want

133
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: them to at least slow him down up front so

134
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't get that big headed steam. And they've done it.

135
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Now he's at a couple of times where he was

136
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: contained and then he broke for a long run. They

137
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: also have to worry about him as a receiver, and

138
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: he's a good receiver. He did a couple of touchdown

139
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: catches and I'm not sure what kind of coverage or

140
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: a planing Romeokerdale will have, but somebody, whether it's Zach

141
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Cunningham or someone else, will be all over him as

142
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: a receiver. You know, last week, I thought the Broncos

143
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: had a tremendous game plan trying to isolate tight ends

144
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: and bags on. But Arthur McKinney, you know, he's not

145
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: cunning in when it comes to coverage. Obviously for Abow

146
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: and his staff, see that tape of what the Broncos did,

147
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: and I would imagine they'll try to incorporate a lot

148
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: of that. But I think they can do a good

149
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: job against Henry the kids. Can they do what only

150
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: Carolina has been able to do, which is slow down

151
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: Tannehill and actually beat beat the Titans for the first time,

152
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: and this would make it eight weeks good. I had

153
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Mike Keith, the voice of the Titans, I know, you

154
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: know him. I had him on yesterday and he's on

155
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: the podcast Bandermire's View on Houston Texas dot com or

156
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: wherever fine podcasts are available. How's that for a little plug?

157
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith there oc He says that they were really

158
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: ready for this Tannehill thing in the offseason when they

159
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: acquired him. Do you think that Tannehill. This was expected

160
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: that at some point he would take over, or it

161
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: was just a gigantic Lloyd's of an insurance policy in

162
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: case Mariota couldn't do the job. If they thought that

163
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: Tannehill was going to do this when they traded for him,

164
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: that means they had such a low opinion of Marcus

165
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: Mariota or they had an overinflated opinion from Ryan Tannehill. Now,

166
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: I did a charity event up there with Vrabel and

167
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: John Robinson, the GM who made the trade, and they

168
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: got it as an insurance policy. No, And I said

169
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: at the time, I thought it's one of the best

170
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: moves of the all season because Tannehill had had some

171
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: big games at Miami, so you knew he was capable.

172
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: I didn't think Mariota's gonna get benched. I thought he

173
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: wasn't even hurt, So I'm thinking, Okay, when he gets hurt,

174
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: they have an experienced quarterback, former number one pick who

175
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: has had some big games to step in, and so

176
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: I thought that was a really smart move. If anybody

177
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: tries to act like they knew, Ryan Tannehill is going

178
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: to do what he can do, and they're ball faced. Liars. Well,

179
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: I think he was just ready for it to happen.

180
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: Perhaps now when you look at their hold up, let's

181
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: point something. Now, Okay, he's in the last year of

182
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: his contract. Steven Strasbourg stays healthy for the dash Poles

183
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: in the last year when he can opt out, wins

184
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: his career high games, signs two or forty five million

185
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: dollars contract. I am always suspect of guys who stay

186
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: healthy in the last year they're contract or opt out

187
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: in baseball's gigs. So I Danniell's gonna get a big

188
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: contract from them. They're already talking to him. He's gonna

189
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: sign it, and then you hope he doesn't have the

190
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: injury history in at Miami. Well, what if he doesn't

191
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: finish strong? Past performance does not indicate future results, So

192
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: you might have a couple of games here that aren't

193
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: as good as what he's just done. I don't know.

194
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: We'll see how it plays. It's gonna be hard to

195
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: have a ratio of over one hundred and thirty one

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: for a fifth game and over nine yards per attempt

197
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff he's doing. I think that

198
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: he would have to really fall on these last three

199
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: games for them to do that. Now, he'll be thirty

200
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: two next year. If say two a tag of VLOA

201
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: came out and because of his hip surgery or because

202
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: there's so many veterans on the market, he happened to

203
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: drop to wherever they're pigging. Would they take him, knowing

204
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: they could have him for five years and Tannio would

205
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: be going into being thirty eight. I would say, yeah,

206
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: I take a quarterback in the first round, But I

207
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: don't think they make it a priority like the Texans

208
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: did by trading up to get him one because of

209
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Hill's performance and knowing how excited they are about it.

210
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: All right, So Texans facing the Titans defansy of Jorelle

211
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: Casey of Jeffrey Simmons up far Landry as nine sicks, yikes.

212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a real tough bunch to deal with.

213
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: And the Texans did not move the ball well through

214
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: the first two and a half quarters against Denver, and

215
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: who knows what that all means what they did last

216
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: week or didn't do last week. But they have to

217
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: fight a way to get the football moving early in

218
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: this game and get it in the end zone. Really,

219
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: I might be good to just keep the Texans offense

220
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: in the dressing room till the second quarter and let

221
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: the defense stay on the because they have so much

222
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: talent on offense. Now it's inexplicable to have so few points.

223
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Only Washington has fewer in the first quarter. That is amazing,

224
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: and they got the talent. That's the thing. I Baltimore.

225
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: I think four games in this winning streak they've come

226
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: out and gone straight for a touchdown of the first

227
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: series and I'm like, that is amazing, and think of

228
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: what it would mean up there if they could do it,

229
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: get the lead, take the crowd out out of it.

230
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: Put the Titans a little bit on their heels because

231
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do, and we've seen

232
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: this several times, come out fall behind, whether it's because

233
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: you've given up a drive or turnover and have to

234
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: play from behind. They're used to it, so they're good

235
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: at it. And it would help, of course that they

236
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: didn't have any penalties. I wrote a thing this week

237
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: the Texans will already surpassed last year's yards. They're closing

238
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: in on penalty yards. Yeah, they're closing in on penalties.

239
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: And do you know this, it's not all Laramie Tunsel

240
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: on the false starts, he has more than anybody in

241
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: the league. And Laramie also has more penalties. But false

242
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: starts were an issue last year. I looked up I

243
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: think it was twenty four. This year's it was twenty eight.

244
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: Then maybe that was the third most in the league

245
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: last year. So they got to look beyond Laramie Tunsil

246
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: of why this team has false starts that, as you know,

247
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: having it happened early, like third and five and on

248
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: the thirty seven yard line of Denver. Then it's third

249
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: and ten, and it's just like some of the best

250
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: players are committing mental mistakes that are hurting a much

251
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: bigger than say a passing any fren years would absolute

252
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: drive killers. Okay, so Will Fuller or no, will Fuller.

253
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: They need to find a way to get Watson enough

254
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: time to get the ball. All off, make some pass

255
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: players because we all want to see them run the football.

256
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to throw to score in this game.

257
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: We all know it. They're gonna fight a way to

258
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: do it. It's almost like, defensively, let Derrick Henry run,

259
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: give him five yards pop, because that means they're gonna

260
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: have long drives. They're not gonna score a lot of

261
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: points when you run in the ball all the time.

262
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: But you know you do. You want to stop Henry

263
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: and let Tanney Hill throw the ball down the field

264
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: because he's been so good at ninety one yard touchdown

265
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: pass at Oakland and Watson, you know they want to

266
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: do the same thing. You know they want to keep

267
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: Watson on the bench. And Watson, you can tell the

268
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: other day when he had those rushing touchdown in which

269
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: he took a dive into the end zone, it was

270
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: like his touchdown catch the week before, a dive into

271
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: the end zone. And I asked him on Wednesday, you

272
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: hadn't run for touchdown in a long time. He had

273
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: five early, now you've had three that weren't passing. Is

274
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: it because of how much each game means? The situation

275
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: is so crucial and I think he hadn't thought about it,

276
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: but he basically said, yeah, this every play is key

277
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: here and it is, so I look for him to

278
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: have a good game. He is two and one against

279
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: the Titans. His rating is one twenty. He has eight touchdowns,

280
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: two interceptions, two touchdowns rushing and the game up there

281
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: last year where they got back twenty seventeen and I

282
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: was his second game after spending the offseason rehabbing, but

283
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: his rating was still one of six nine and then

284
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: here he scored fifty seven and thirty four, so they

285
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: know what he can do for Rabel has been present

286
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: for all three of those games, including his last year

287
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: here in twenty seventeen. They're gonna try to have a

288
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: plan that will contain to Shaun Watson. And Rabel told

289
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: me when he became a head coach, I said, does

290
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: year from me hearty with Watson? Should that help you?

291
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: He said, you can't plan for the plays he makes

292
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: instinctively because he didn't know what's coming. So how would

293
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: you know what's coming? Well, let's hope he makes plenty

294
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: of them, all right. John McClean is going to stay

295
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: with us. We'll go around the league. How's Denver gonna

296
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: do this week? Also, what's up tonight with the Ravens

297
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: hosting the Jets and other AFC South matchups? And by matchups,

298
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean other teams in the division of what they're

299
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: doing this week and Tampa Bay next week's opponent? What

300
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: are they up to? Hot reads? And the opening segment

301
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: with the general is one gigantic hot read presented by Geico.

302
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on

303
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: car insurance. It's Texans Radio. We are counting down to

304
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: Sunday at noon when the Texans take on the Tennessee

305
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: Titans in Nashville AFC South. First place on the line.

306
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Texans have it right now via the tiebreaker, as you know,

307
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: and whoever wins Sunday as a full game lead with

308
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: two games to go, and John, the Texans, if they

309
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: win any two of the next three, they win the division.

310
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: They could even conceivably lose the next two, provided that

311
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: the Titans would lose to the Saints and still beat

312
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: the Titans closing day and win it. But they want

313
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: to take care of business on Sunday. Another team that

314
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: wants to sneak back into the business is the Indianapolis Colts,

315
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: who will be at the Saints on Monday. I don't

316
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: know if we want to talk too much about that game,

317
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: but the Colts, you see the injuries piling up here. John,

318
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: it's just not going the way they wanted down the stretch.

319
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a playoff factor. They just gave

320
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: up thirty eight points. At Tampa, they scored thirty five

321
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: and they got a new kicker, and Chase McLaughlin will

322
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: never see Adam Mintary again. It's a shame the way

323
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: his career ended there two one field, one short field goal,

324
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: one extra point from having two more wins on kicks

325
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: that he could make in his sleep and didn't. But

326
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: I don't see them as a factor anymore. Be great

327
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC if they beat the Saints, but I

328
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: can't imagine. I also, boy, you know the Saints going

329
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: to Tennessee in that next game. The way the Titans

330
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: are playing, they could beat them. They could beat them.

331
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens this weekend, and you never

332
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: know how injuries pile up or anything else. But Saints

333
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: are obviously a very good football team. Jets at the

334
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: Ravens tonight. You give them a prayer to at least

335
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: slow down Baltimore this evening prayer. The Jets are great

336
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: against the run with Greg Williams. Greg Blitz is more

337
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: than any coordinator in the league fifty three percent of

338
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: the time. But he does not have Jamal Adams. It's

339
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: a big, not half player, and he doesn't have their

340
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: first pick Quinnon Williams. They're both out the defensive tackle.

341
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: They're both out because of injuries. So I fully expect

342
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens to have a field day. The only way

343
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 1: it would be even interesting as if some Sam Darnold

344
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: is his best game of the season. John Denver. Not

345
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: only have they won two in a row Withdrew lock

346
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: with five and four over their last night, that's right,

347
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: So they're a pretty decent team since they got it

348
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: together with the baptismal first few games under Vic Fangio.

349
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: Obviously they look great here last week they're gonna be

350
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: at the Kansas City Chiefs. What about a prayer for

351
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: them this weekend. Drew Locke, who went to Missouri, he

352
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: goes back to Missouri. Chiefs are playing really well right now.

353
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: You know they got their I on getting that first

354
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: round by would it be weird to see the Patriots

355
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: playing in the first round. I don't hope they've ever

356
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: played in the first rounds and they have Baltimore O

357
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: nine they lost, is that? Yeah? So after they lost here,

358
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: that's the stant possibility for the Patriots and Chiefs defense

359
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: is playing better. So even though Drew Locke did well,

360
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't see them going into Arrowhead and beating the

361
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs anymore than I saw them coming in urg Stadium

362
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: and beating the Texas. And you're right, the Chiefs are

363
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: alive for a first round by possibility. They need the

364
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: Ravens to have a meltdown. That's not gonna happen though.

365
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: All right, so the Giants hosting the Dolphins. I know

366
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: that Chiefs beat the Ravens, but Chiefs have four losses

367
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: and the Ravens have two Giants hosting the Dophins. I

368
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: only bring this up because Eli's done right, So this

369
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: is the farewell tour. I think that it would have

370
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: been such a great story if he'd been able to

371
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: maintain that first half performance at Philadelphia. He didn't. I

372
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: think he's gonna win this game. They're gonna give him

373
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: a standing ovation every time he's seen on the field,

374
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: and he deserves it. He certainly does. Okay their action

375
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: that we are following. I just want to talk about

376
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: the Jaguars for this reason. They're gonna be at the Raiders.

377
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: These are two teams that have been having meltdown catastrophic

378
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: blowout losses. So who's gonna stop their streak this weekend?

379
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: And what happens in Jacksonville shot con is he gonna

380
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: wipe everybody out of that organization and start over Jacksonville.

381
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: It is the first teams into the nineteen eighty six

382
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: Buccaneers to lose five consecutive games by lay seventeen points.

383
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: That means they've quit on Doug Marone, he's gone, Dave

384
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: Colwell and JM gone. I'm guesting Conflin at seventy four.

385
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: Do I want Tom Cofflin hiring my people and having

386
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: my organization to start over with him? The answers No,

387
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: I think they're all gone house cleaning, and I'm worried

388
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: if Conflin were there, he would go after Matt Rule.

389
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm worried that if the Giants were to fire Pat Charmer,

390
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: who I've never thought was any good he's now at

391
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: five years head coach, five losing records, that the Giants

392
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: would come after Matt Rule because he coached there for

393
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: a year and basically every story I would say about

394
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: a possible opening, they're mentioning Matt Rule. But I think

395
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: the Jaguars they're all gone. The Raiders they've lost three

396
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: in a row after they were right there in the

397
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: contention for the division in the wild card tells me

398
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: John Gruden's gonna want a new quarterback Derek Carr. Either

399
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: he stays there with a number one pick, or Gruden

400
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: goes after one of these older guys because there's gonna

401
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: be so many unavailable. The Cowboys are hosting the Rams.

402
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: Of course, the NFC East is highly gettable, but the

403
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: Rams are hot. I mean they he just kills Seattle.

404
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: They it's still a long shot to make the playoffs.

405
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys. I keep picking them to win and

406
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: they lose. I guess because they're home. I'm going to

407
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: pick them to win. Really yeah, just because they're home.

408
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: What about this Bills Steelers deal on Sunday Night? This

409
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: is an intriguing game. I like this one. I like

410
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: the Bills in prime time. It's about time only the

411
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: second time they've been on Sunday nights. It's the playoffs

412
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: in ninety nine. And their defense is really good, their

413
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: offense is not. They need some more offensive weapons. And

414
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh with Duck Hodges, he's three and oh as a starter.

415
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin is right up there with Mike Mike, Kyle

416
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: Shannah and his Coach of the Year candidate Steelers. Steelers

417
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: not gonna lose this game at home. Okay, So Heisman

418
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: Trophy OU Bowl with Kyler Murray and the Cardinals and

419
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and the Browns Browns visiting them. Do the

420
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: Browns continue their run? I think they do against the Cardinals.

421
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: I think that answer is itself. John, but it's Freddie Kitchens.

422
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: Is this late run gonna be enough to keep him

423
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: in the coach's seat in Cleveland? He shouldn't be. They

424
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: need a veteran coach who's been through the wars to

425
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: come in there and manage all those egos. Kitchens in

426
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: over his head has been for the get go, and

427
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: this would just set to help help the new guy

428
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: coming in. But he's gonna have to be a psychiatrist

429
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: as much as he is a coach. John Ron Rivera

430
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: is gone and Carolina they're gonna host the Seahawks, So

431
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: Dave Tepper is gonna have a lot of work to

432
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: do to find out who's gonna be his next guy.

433
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: Marty hernie Is. He wants to keep Marty Herney, but

434
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: that's not a good situation for new general manager to

435
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: come in and the former general manager to two different

436
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: dans be there on the staff. That's not fair. So

437
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: I assume he's gonna hire a GM first in today's

438
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in Rick Smith. Rick Smith I've been

439
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: here and wants to come back to the NFL. And

440
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: I think anybody looking for general manager would be wise

441
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: to interview Rick because he can go back and say, Hey,

442
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: I traded up to get to Shaun Watson, I knew

443
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: how to get a quarterback. I drive to J J. Watt.

444
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: I drafted DeAndre hopks A first unders. Yeah, I'll say no,

445
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: look at my second third rounders, but look at my ones.

446
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: And I think Rix got a chance to get a job.

447
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera definitely gets a job. Definitely gets a job,

448
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: unless he wants to take a year off like Mike McCarthy,

449
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: but I've heard him say he wants to keep coaching.

450
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's this year. Wood Cleveland hire McCarthy.

451
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: Dorsey worked with him in Green Bay, knows him very well.

452
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: McCarthy handled Aaron Rodgers all those years, he handled Brett Farve,

453
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: ought to be able to handle Baker Mayfield. I would

454
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: think McCarthy would would be a candidate, and I think

455
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: he'd be a good candidate back to the Cowboys. If

456
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: Garrett is on the open market, does he get a

457
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: head coaching gig? No? No way, Okay, are there any

458
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: high school openings? Is Mike Tomlin underrated, overrated or properly rated?

459
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Here this year, he is being properly rated because everybody's

460
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: talking about the great coaching job he does. The fans

461
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: have been wanting to get rid of him for years,

462
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: and he has done a tremendous job. He's probably lucky

463
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: that Miles Garrett caught Basin Rudolph because that ended up.

464
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: Rudolph didn't do squat next week and he had to

465
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: go with his third stringer, Douck Hodges, and the rest

466
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: is history, and their defense is great. So I think

467
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: that people are seeing how great he is. You know,

468
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: if you've got a lot of great athletes, like players

469
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: like anthonio' Browning, Levion Ballad, Ben Roethlisberger, and you go

470
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: every year to the playoffs, you don't get respect. It's

471
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: too bad. You've got to lose a lot of players

472
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: and be an underdog and then all of a sudden

473
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: when for people to give you the respect you've deserved

474
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: for a long time. All Right, So the Patriots Bengals

475
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: the scouting video controversy. What did you make of it?

476
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: First of all, it was done right in front of

477
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: Bengals officials, right, And I don't think that the Patriots,

478
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: with their experience and subterfuge, would have told a guy

479
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: to set up right in front of him where they

480
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: can see your monitor pointed at the bench, and now

481
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: they can say, let's go to the videotape and look

482
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: at it. And Billichick in the past, when he was guilty,

483
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: would say we're onto this team or that team, and

484
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: he has been adamant this week. I did not know

485
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: anything about it. I don't think he did, or they

486
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: would have been. They would have been more clandestined, and

487
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: also would have been stupid to be doing that and

488
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: risking that against the Bengals, who are the worst team

489
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So I'm thinking, when it's all said

490
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: and done, nothing is going to be done to the page. Well,

491
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: the one thing I have issue with is he had

492
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: to know, because there's no way we could do a

493
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: video like that, follow the scout around a day in

494
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: the life of a scout and shoot what he's doing

495
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: without approval from football operations. And I don't think anything

496
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: gets approved in football operations without him knowing, So that

497
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: part of it I'm a little iffy on. But I

498
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: agree that this was not a competitive avid. You had

499
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: to tell the opponent what you're doing. Yeah, this is

500
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: where we're going, this is what we're doing. I'm stunned.

501
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: In their website, they're like, y'all, they spent a lot

502
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: of money, they got a lot of people, they do

503
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: a great job. But that work of an advanced scout,

504
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: which is basically giving some kind of inside information to

505
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: the most the most paranoid organization in the NFL. And

506
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that guy's probably fired. And I'm wondering if

507
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: he's been around. Maybe he's in his first year of

508
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots and he's young and he doesn't know about

509
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: all the controversy. But the Bruins hat, that's was he

510
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: wearre the Bruins. Let me tell you one of one

511
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: of my guys, None of my guys. Nobody's gonna wear

512
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: a Rocket's hat or an Astros hat working for us.

513
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: It's not happening. I mean, I love those teams, but

514
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: come on, you're a Texan. Makes me think the guy

515
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: was new or he was or he was his company

516
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: was hired for this. Yeah, but I think there's much

517
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: more of this story, but it's not about about Belichick.

518
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: I think Goodell will let him off the hook. John,

519
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: what up going out on the Chronicle. Aaron Wilson's writing

520
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: Sunday about rabel and O'Brien. I'm writing for Friday. If

521
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: if Drew Locke can throw for three und nine yards

522
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: against the secondary, what in the world can Ryan Eneo

523
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: and Javis Winst not think it was an aberration? It

524
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: was an aberration. It would be good and h we

525
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: and Aaron's got a good story too about DeAndre Carter

526
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: was some information most people don't know, so those will

527
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: be in a chronicle and Texas Support Nation. Thank you, John,

528
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: Thank you Mark. Ask John mcclaim for the Houston Chronicle.

529
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, if the Texans score two or more touchdowns,

530
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: head your closest jack in the box the next day

531
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: for your free Texans jumbo jack with a large drink purchase.

532
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: And they fulfilled on that even though they didn't win.

533
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: At least they got the jumbo jack deal for you.

534
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: That's right. Next up, John Harris, We're gonna play more

535
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: likely to happen heavy Texans Tennessee numbers come in your way,

536
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: but easy to digest as you drive home or wherever

537
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: you're going. It's Texans Radio. I can feel the angst,

538
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: I can feel the tension. I can feel. Do I

539
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: say stress next? I think so, because I mean it's

540
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: the NFL and we've got drama coming up Sunday at

541
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: noon in Nashville as the Texans battle to Tennessee Titans.

542
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: We're here in the Hunday Texans Radio studio talking about it.

543
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: I've Texans All Access John Harris Jepps into the studio. Now, Johnny,

544
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: here we go. It's coming up soon, and I'm just

545
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: so fired up for this one. It's I was gonna

546
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: say it's about as big as it gets, but not

547
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: really because there's you know, playoffs and Super Bowl and

548
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But to date though, to

549
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: date though, and I got to thinking about this. I know,

550
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: since twenty fourteen, since I've been in the building, and

551
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: since twenty thousand and seven, since I've been back in Houston,

552
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: I do not remember a game with the Titans this

553
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: late in the year that means this much. No, this

554
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: is it. This is the biggest Texans Titans game ever period,

555
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: end of story. This is it now. In two thousand

556
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: and sixteen, the Texans were nine and six and the

557
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: Titans were eight and seven going into the finale, but

558
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: it was rendered pointless because of the outcome the week

559
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: before against the since Henny Bengals. Right, so the Titans

560
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: were going for a winning season, right, but they have

561
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: nothing else on the line, no postseason, And yeah, Matt

562
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: Castle ended up winning that thing. How about Brabell got

563
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: the job after Malarkey won the play off game in

564
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Yeah, and then got yeah, exactly. But the

565
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: thing about it was is that was sort of surprising

566
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: that he even got them to the playoffs because during

567
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: the year I remember them saying I don't know if

568
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna make it. I think he's gonna make it.

569
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: Got blown out here? How about that used the Titans

570
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: as your inspiration. They got blown out here by the

571
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: Texans and eventually won a playoff game at Kansas City

572
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: to make it to the divisional round and lose to

573
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Right, Yes, explain that the Patriots doesn't need explaination. No,

574
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: they were just out classing that game. But they beat

575
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: Alex Smith in the Chiefs I remember watching that one.

576
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: I was at a restaurant and I was like, oh,

577
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: come on, Like, you know, it's not like some college

578
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: angles where you might root for the conference. I don't

579
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: root for the postseason. Are you kidding me? That's not happening?

580
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: All right? I know we're here to play. More likely

581
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: to happen, So let's get to it. More likely to happen?

582
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: All right. First of all, I'm more likely to happen.

583
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to go right to the heart of this thing.

584
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: Texans and Titans. More likely to happen to Sean Watson

585
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: three hundred yards or Ryan Tannahill three hundred yards has

586
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: been putting out big numbers, Johnny, Yeah, big nut. And look,

587
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: the Texans have a league. He's gonna have to throw.

588
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: We could get the three hundred I know, and you're

589
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: you're probably right. But Shawn Watson and Ryan Tannahill, it's

590
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson. And the one little part of the conversation

591
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: that nobody really talks about, and I know Landry John

592
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: Lopez we proud of me, is the Titans past defense.

593
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: The Titans give up about two hundred and sixty yards

594
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: passing a game. They're not they're they're not one of

595
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: the top teams in the league. In fact, trying to

596
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: find my number sero real fast, but I know it's

597
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: like two hundred and sixty. They're twenty fifth in the

598
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: league and passing yards allowed. They do have a great

599
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: front when they have de Quan Jones next and Jeffrey

600
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: Simmons next, and Droll Casey and Harold Landers on the

601
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: outside with Jean Brown and Rashaun Evans, that's a really

602
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: good front six. When they play nickel and then they

603
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: bring u Kamalaia Korea in when they play bass. Yeah,

604
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: come lay a kream. Yeah, it's tough, but the secondary

605
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: has been banged up a little bit, and I just

606
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: have never thought the secondary was was great. Buyards a ballhawk,

607
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: he'll he'll find it and he does a really nice job.

608
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: But they give up yards through the air. So I

609
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: think that Deshaun could put up three hundred against them,

610
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: I almost don't want him to. So I almost want

611
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: to change my answer. I almos don't want him to.

612
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: I want him to be in at two fifty two

613
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: seventy five. You're running it well probably, and I'd rather

614
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: be in the one thirty one rushing in that in

615
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: the rushing range. We're just making a pick here, But

616
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with DeShawn just because I think he

617
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: can do it, even if the Texans win that game

618
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: and blow them out. So I'm gonna go with three

619
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: hundred quick quick semi sidebar here, What about all the

620
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: people who are tweeting, Oh, look at the snats in

621
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: the last seven games that are whining about They're whining

622
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: about how Tannehill has better numbers in the last seven

623
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: games than Deshaun Watson. That means he's so much better.

624
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: Is there a GM in the league who would take No, No,

625
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know that little Ryan, and Ryan's

626
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: played well, yeah, no, you gotta give credit. He's great

627
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: for his sake. Well, actually, he's a Titan, So I

628
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: don't hope anything here. How about this little nugget. I

629
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: was gonna save this, but I figured since we're talking

630
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: about Tanio, you know, Taniel's only face of Texans once. Yes,

631
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: do you know what was? Yeah, don't tell me historic

632
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: about this? Yeah? He blew them out. Yeah yeah, in

633
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. There go further. Think perfect perfect quarterback rating,

634
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: You get a perfect quarterback rating In that twenty fifteen matchup,

635
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: he was eighteen and nineteen four touchdowns, had one eighteen nineteen.

636
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: They played, oh, nineteen throws. I like the Sean's perfect

637
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: quarterback game, which was like thirty eight throws. I know,

638
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: I know, I'm listen. I'm with you on this. I'm

639
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: just saying that Ryan Taniel saw the Texans once four

640
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: years ago and he let us up like a Christmas.

641
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: I hope that's not the case with Sunday. Look, this

642
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: is a very different situation. You don't have. You don't

643
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: have Ryan Mallett mania reverse style, like reverse mania. You know,

644
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: when we get back after a trip, we always, like

645
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: Monday Me you Drew Dpr kind of congregate and talk

646
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: about different things, and we we kind of unofficially do this.

647
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: We kind of grade the road trip. You know, that's

648
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: fun trip. That was a good trip. It's okay. That

649
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: trip to Miami was as lousy a trip as it

650
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: could have been. It was it was, I mean, it was,

651
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: it was bad. It was just went to South Beach

652
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: and had the night before. Okay, next one to happen,

653
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: more likely to happen. The Texans run for one hundred

654
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: thirty yards or Derrick Henry runs for one hundred plus,

655
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: So Texans one thirty as a team, Henry one hundred

656
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: as a player. You noticed I didn't put the Texans

657
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: one hundred as a player as I think the Texans

658
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: for one thirty because I think it's I think Carlos

659
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: can get his can get seventy five eighty five. I

660
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: think the Sean's gonna be good for forty to fifty.

661
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: But I think what they've got to be able to do,

662
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: where they've got to exploit the run game, if you will,

663
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: is getting up to fifty or sixty. He's got to

664
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: be able to slice and dice through there. And I

665
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: think he did it against the Patriots and it kind

666
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: of went with him. But I think if if the

667
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: Texans are truly hitting, the Titan's kind of that one

668
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: two comba with Duke and with Carlos kind of bang bang,

669
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, here's a little bit of power, and then

670
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: there's Duke. You know, here comes a pop power, and

671
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: then here comes the and then you kind of go

672
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: back and forth and you kind of keep him on

673
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: their heels a little bit. With that, I think you

674
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: can get to one thirty. The thing about Henry with

675
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: that hundred, he can get there in one run. I mean,

676
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: that's the scary thing about him is, for as big

677
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: as he is, he'd think, Oh, he's just kind of

678
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: a plotting guy. He breaks one tackle with the line

679
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, he's into the secondary and two steps and

680
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you got a bunch of

681
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: one hundred eighty two one hundred eighty to two hundred

682
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: pound guys try to tackle. To my gosh, Plane just

683
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: said something very similar like twenty minutes ago. So you

684
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: guys are in step. But I still think the Texans

685
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: will hold Henry in check, get a lead and enforced

686
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: Tanne I'll have to throw. And I think that's gonna

687
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: be the formula to win this game. Okay, next one

688
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: more likely to happen, more likely to be the case

689
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: next year. In the AFC South, we have status quo

690
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: at the current starting quarterbacks positions, meaning Minsho, Tannehill, Brissette,

691
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: and Watson, or we have a change somewhere more likely

692
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: to happen. There'll be a change somewhere. Okay, where's the

693
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: change gonna be? Though? To win this officially, you have

694
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: to get it right now. Check back next year What

695
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: would be really interesting is we win these two games

696
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: against the Titans and they don't look good at home

697
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: against the Saints, and whether they start thinking that Tannehill

698
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: is the Is Tannehill the answer? I brought this UPO

699
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: is he the guy? So he said, they're already talking contract.

700
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: I thought, well, hold on a second. Now you've got

701
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: to you gotta play some games. Now. I know you

702
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. I get that you beat Indian Indian okay,

703
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: but you blocked a kick to get you to thirty one.

704
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: So you put up twenty four against in the Indian

705
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: defense that it was okay, the defense is great, but

706
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: you put up twenty four. Okay. So now you face

707
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: the Texans and look, the Texas defense hasn't been what

708
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: it been in past years. We know that, but I

709
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: have I have number. It's interesting, I have numbers that

710
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: I know. I heard Sean and Seth talking about this

711
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: earlier today. The Texans defense has faced significantly better offenses

712
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: this year. The irony is that last year when we

713
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: faced the top ten offense, we lost. I mean, that's

714
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: what you expect, right, fifth top ten offense, Okay, you're

715
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna lose this year when we faced top seven offenses.

716
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: We've won outside of Baltimore, but you matched up with

717
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: them catched wits. Except for Baltimore, that's the one Chargers

718
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: and Chiefs and the Pots exactly who they were on

719
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: offense but right, But it's just been interesting kind of

720
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: offense defense dynamic with that. But as far as it

721
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: pertains the quarterbacks, I think Tennessee will bring back. We'll

722
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: bring Tannehill back. We'll give them a contract. If they're smart,

723
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: it'll be kind of a three year deal that gets

724
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: him out after a year, maybe even two. I think Jacksonville, look,

725
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: Mitch was is fun to watch. He can't be your answer.

726
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: He can't be your answer Jacksonville. Indianapolis starts to get

727
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: interesting now because they were very convinced that Jacoby Brissette

728
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: was that guy. In fact, they gave him a contract

729
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: Ballard Game, a contract I think for a couple of

730
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: years from thirty million dollars. So he's got to be

731
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: their guy. But I think it was a two year deal,

732
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: so I don't know if they can get out of

733
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: it after a year or what they can do. But

734
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: they're just have been moments where Jacoby looks fantastic signed

735
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: week seven against US week seven. Yeah, there have been

736
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: times where he has not looked good. The second matchup

737
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: with US, he did not look good. They tried to

738
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: run the rock and but he just didn't throw it

739
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: all that well. He didn't throw it well. That he

740
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: was banged up too and up. I get that. But

741
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: just you know, against Tampa Bay the day they put

742
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: up thirty five, but into the ball game, he just

743
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: didn't make any place to win that game. So I

744
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, knowing Ballard, the one reason that

745
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: he took that job, outside of the fact that it

746
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: was in the Midwest, was that Andrew Luck was there

747
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: that he wouldn't have to go looking for a quarterback.

748
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: But now you do. But yeah, he might happen. I

749
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: think two of them change. I think two of those

750
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: three end up changing. Okay, next one more likely to happen.

751
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: More likely to happen Denver beats Kansas City on the

752
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: road or the Jags beat the Raiders on the road.

753
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: I would man, the Jags have opened. It can't a

754
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,479
Speaker 1: quick place, a good one. But what about the Raiders

755
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: are getting blown out by everybody I know? But the

756
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: Raiders are definitely I don't even have to look their

757
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: favored at home. Okay, here's here's I think. I don't

758
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: think that the Broncos will play well going to Kansas City.

759
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: Either that or Drew Locke is just a complete total mess.

760
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to be. The One thing that

761
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: locked through our guys off a little bit was the

762
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: velocity with which he threw the football. Yeah, it's first touchdown.

763
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean I said it. That's the that's the fastest

764
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: football I've ever seen. Revolutions on that. I mean, it

765
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Now Kansas City has this tape though, Yeah,

766
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: they've got this tape. They can study that and there

767
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: may be no no a fan. That's huge. But here's

768
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: the other thing. I'm that touchdown. You watched that touchdown again?

769
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: Dudes are covered, Yeah, they're covered. Like he makes that

770
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: throw in a spee never made and it gets in

771
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: there and it's like, I mean, I see a throw

772
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 1: coming and I'm watching it covered him like knock it down.

773
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: Just all you gotta do is he got in there

774
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: so fast. And then as Julie's trying to get it out,

775
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: as he's ripping it out, as they're falling, he's ripping

776
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: it basically into his belly, so it's like securing it

777
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: for him. So anyways, the point being Locke is gonna

778
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: give Kansas City some issue. Frank Clark's been dealing with

779
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: the stomach issue as well, so there's been some things

780
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: going on with Now Kansay's defense has played better. But

781
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders will not lose the last game in

782
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: Oakland A media coliseum. They will not. Okay, so I

783
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: can't remember how you phrase this, but the Raiders will

784
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: win the last game in Oakland all media, Kolisea. I

785
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: don't even know what it's called now Qualcom or oak

786
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: Calm or Oaktown or whatever. I don't know what's called down.

787
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't care whatever. The opposite of that is Oakland's

788
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: beating Jacksonville. Okay, got it, Johnny, thank you, you got

789
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: a mark. There's my buddy, John Harris. Follow him on

Speaker 1: Toro's Math Drills has all the information you need on that,

796
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: and boy, could my kids use some of that Toro's

797
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: Math Drills education. Speaking of education, the Liz Franc injury,

798
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: how did it get named? What really is it? Let's

799
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: find out? Doctor Pedro Coscujuela joins us of Houston Methodist.

800
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: Right now, how's it going, doctor, I'm doing great? How

801
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: about yourself? Doing great? So? The Liz Franc joint ligament,

802
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: the Liz Franc injury, we've heard about it from time

803
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: to time. The most infamous one perhaps match job back

804
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven here for the Houston Texans. But a

805
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: lot of NFL players and others have suffered from this.

806
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: What happens? What kind of injury is this? Doctor? So?

807
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: The list front injury was described by actually Napoleon's field surgeon.

808
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: He realized that you could amputate feet through those joints

809
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: without having to use a saw on the field, and

810
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: so that he had these soldiers that would fall off

811
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: the horses stair ups, their feet would get caught and

812
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: they would have bad injuries. And he realized that he

813
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: could do an amputation through those joints much quicker without

814
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: any for a saw and so those joints retained his name.

815
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: The joints are the ones between the tarso bones in

816
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the foot, or what we call the

817
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: tunea forms and the cuboid and our metatarsos, which are

818
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: the long bones in our foot. And what typically happens

819
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: is the player has their foot bent down with their

820
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: toes on the ground and another player or his own

821
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: body weight falls on the back, forcing the pressure or

822
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: the energy of the force through those joints and essentially

823
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: tearing those ligaments. Great information, doctor, We appreciate the time.

824
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. You're welcome, sir. You have a
