1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the show. We have got a

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: beauty for you here tonight with Cad Stover coming up

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: in a few moments and looking forward to this one.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Cad Stover back in business at tight End last week,

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: played first time since Week one. We'll get into all

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: of it with Cad and also later on as you

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: might know, CJ Stroud was on Pat McAfee yesterday. We

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: will play a big chunk of that conversation because it

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: was really good and McAfee really was very humble in

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: talking to CJ and gave him a lot of praise

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: for what happened at the formerly called Loudhouse now Stroudhouse

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: or Nico Collins Stadium up in Indianapolis, as I like

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: to refer to it, because he's got big games there.

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: I mean, on the McFee show.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: Is funny because I watched it and listen to it

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: and somebody put on Twitter, I don't know who it was,

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 3: that picture of Lucas Oil and it just said the

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 3: Stroudhouse data ful. It was beautiful, so beautiful. I give

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: McAfee credit. You know that's got his sting. I mean

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 3: obviously loves the Colts' they're in Indianapolis played for the

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: Colts for many, many years, but he's had CJ on

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: that show after he has driven a steak through Colts

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: Hearts and they're so complimentary of him.

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: They give him so many kudos.

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: And obviously CJ's great on a mic, and he was fantastic.

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: And of course they talked about their house Date Mission

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: game too, which is cool.

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Kate about that.

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 3: Kate, I'm sure, was pretty excited for the Buckeyes as

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: well his buck eyes. But we got a great interview

31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: coming with Kate, so I'm really excited about that.

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: All right.

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: So I wanted to go here first because now that

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday and you sort of move on, Yeah, from

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: last week and Winter lose, you start to move on

36
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: and really move into the next week. And the next

37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: week is the Chiefs, and you've earned the right. It's

38
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of like Herb Brooks, You've earned the right to

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: play in this game. I'm kind of using Paccino as

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: well as Herb Brooks. Yeah, Johnny, the game has such magnitude.

41
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep it together here.

42
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too.

43
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: But I started thinking about this one as this is

44
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: one of the.

45
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Biggest games we've ever played.

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 5: Really.

47
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Now, you could talk about Colts in regular season finale

48
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: last year and every win was crucial down the stretch

49
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: two years ago. Every win down the stretch was crucial

50
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: last year, so you could talk about all that in

51
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Look, you needed all those wins down the

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: stretch to clinch the division. And I don't know, Johnny,

53
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: you're playing the rulers of the AFC. It reminds me

54
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: of twenty twelve going to New England in that you

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: had a better record than them. They were still the Kings, yep,

56
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: but you were the newbie and you were ready to conquer.

57
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: But apparently not because it didn't go well in a

58
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: primetime game in Foxborough in twenty twelve. Now here's an

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: opportunity we go thirteen years later going to the rulers

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: of the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs not having a

61
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: good season six and six, but they still have a

62
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: lot of talent. In fact, their sideline reporter was telling

63
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: me he thinks it's a more talented team than last

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: year's Sure, talent wise, they're just not playing like it,

65
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: committing too many penalties.

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: We can get into all their issues.

67
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: The point is this until somebody drives the stake through

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: their heart. They are still the AFC champs and they're

69
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna play like it down the stretch until somebody takes

70
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: them out. Now, if you knock them to sub five

71
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: hundred with four weeks to go, I think they are

72
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: out based on the tie breakers alone, because they'll lose

73
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the one with you, They've lost the one with the Bills.

74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: They don't have the Steelers. This is going to be

75
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: nasty for them down the stretch, even with a win,

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: out to go ten and seven and try to get

77
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: in as the wild card. But I will never count

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: them out until it's completely mathematically over for them. However,

79
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: this is about the Texans. This is about having your shot,

80
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: a shot at the Chiefs and completely change the narrative

81
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: on your franchise going into the final four weeks of

82
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: the season. Still gonna play those Those are all big games,

83
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: but this is the truly big one as we look

84
00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: at the final five.

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: You know, the other day you got mad at me

86
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: about Rosen copter A, you're gonna get mad at me

87
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: about I'm he kind of kind of because I do.

88
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: I do think there are similarities to it. I don't

89
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: think I say question about that. You know, playing December

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: football on the road on night stage. There was so

91
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: much made about that game coming off to Thanksgiving win, like,

92
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: oh man, the Texans' best record ever.

93
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Now they get to go take on the Patriots. Oh

94
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: can they take them down? They could take him down.

95
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: And it just didn't go that way. It was a

96
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: team at that point. We've talked about this many times,

97
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 3: that twenty twelve team. There were cracks there, they just

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: weren't evident. And I think probably the biggest one was

99
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: Matt being healthy, Matt shop being completely healthy. And I

100
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 3: just remember that interception in the end zone in twenty

101
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: twelve and I think it was mccordy and it was

102
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: like he didn't see mccordy.

103
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: I was like, ooh, I just remember that, Like they

104
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: didn't like the looks of this.

105
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it just left the stain that I don't

106
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: know the twenty twelve team ever remat from now. I

107
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: think you've got a quarterback that is, if he hasn't

108
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 3: shaken off all the rust, he's very very close to

109
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: doing that. I feel like it's offense ascending. I feel

110
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: like it's offense getting better, and that twenty twelve, defense

111
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: was already without Cushing, right, I felt like it was

112
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: kind of hanging on Yeah and James. I felt like

113
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: it was it was JJ, and they weren't rude.

114
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: They were trying to fill the gaps at linebacker any

115
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: which way they could.

116
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: That's right now.

117
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Demico Dimiko was gone in Philadelphia at that point.

118
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 3: I mean, there's Creaman j Joe still, but they were

119
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: trying to patch it together at safety two and it

120
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: just it was I think.

121
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: Glover was already gone at that point. Was Glover and

122
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: Deroy still there was still there because.

123
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: Last year was gone for Ed Reid, right, I felt

124
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: like and JJ was playing unbelievably that year, but against

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: the Patriots, they just made it a focus to take

126
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: him out and nobody else stepped up. Well, okay, if

127
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna take out Willy Anderson Junior, then fifty five

128
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: gets you, or the interior guys get you.

129
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: And I just love the.

130
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: Fact and Seth and searm were kind of talking about

131
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: this too, And I love that Seth says this, he

132
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: knows that right along with him, I was I was preaching, like, hey,

133
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: the defensive tackle spot is.

134
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: Better than people think. At the beginning of.

135
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: The year, all the way back to OTA's I felt

136
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 3: like it was better than people thought.

137
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: As long as Rankins is healthy, it's been deep. It's

138
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: deep because you don't have fully, haven't had fully for

139
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: fully for a while. Having Rankins and the rest of

140
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: the guys really does make up for that.

141
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is a big week for them because

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: Josh Simmons is gonna be out left tackle. He's gonna

143
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: be out. He had already been out five weeks. He's

144
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: gonna be out. So Jayalen Moore steps back in. Don't

145
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: know the status of Trey Smith. He missed the game

146
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: against the Cowboys. Yeah, you take those two out. Oh,

147
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: that's that's already starting. What about and then you got

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: Juwan Taylor who's banged up at right the human false start.

149
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: So from that standpoint, this defensive line, you gotta take

150
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 3: advantage of that.

151
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: So how do you take advantage?

152
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: You know, making Mahomes throw from the well all the time,

153
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: not giving him lanes when he puts his head down

154
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: to look for the lane, take it away and tackle him.

155
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: And that's gonna be tough. But it's really to me

156
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: on the defensive line. Go back to twenty twelve. You

157
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: Brady was gonna beat you that way. Brady was gonna

158
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: beat with his mind, and he was gonna beat you

159
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: with death of a thousand paper cuts.

160
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

161
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: Just and then when he took his shots, he was

162
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: not going to miss right, And that gives me a

163
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: very Steph Curry vibe with Mahomes. He might be able

164
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: to heat check his way through sixty minutes. And he might,

165
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: and if he does, you just like to pick your

166
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: cap and like, Okay, you got us. But I just

167
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: feel like this team is where it needs to be,

168
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: coming off some some tough wins, some good wins. But

169
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: you know, physically you'll find out tomorrow on the jury report.

170
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: You know, I always worry about that. You know, some

171
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: things that when they get into the locker room. You

172
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: know what's Woody status. You know, wood he was banged

173
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: up in that game. Now, he said after the game,

174
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: I ain't never going out quote unquote, but is he

175
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: gonna is he gonna be a you know, how close

176
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: to one hundred percent can he be?

177
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: Well?

178
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: And that's that ends up being kind of tough. So yes,

179
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: I when you brought up the twenty twelve game, I'm like,

180
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't want to think that way,

181
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: but I feel like this team is better positioned win

182
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: or lose, to go up there and compete, play a

183
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: game and compete against that team and hopefully knock them out. Now,

184
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: if they lose this game the Chiefs, that would give

185
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 3: them six and seven here their final.

186
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Four home Chargers.

187
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: At Titans, home Broncos on Christmas at Raiders.

188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: That's not too bad.

189
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: No, it's not too considering all things considered, right, and

190
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: that's where this becomes a win you've got to have

191
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: because you already have tie breaker over Ravens. You have

192
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 3: tie breaker on Bills right now, you have tie breaker

193
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: over Colts. Yes, and I don't know what the tie

194
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: breaker would be over the Jags. Think if we're tired

195
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: of the Jags division revision, you've got that's where your

196
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: your golden right.

197
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: There have two losses already, they got one. Hang on,

198
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: Jags lost to us. They didn't lose to the Titans

199
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: though they lose, so they don't have two losses. They

200
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: haven't they haven't played all their division games. We've just

201
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: played five, have one left, and they have a compliment

202
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: of two with the Colt I think they have the

203
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: Titans one more time to the.

204
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: One of the Titans. That's three of their finals.

205
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: So it could come down because the division record goes first, right,

206
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean head to head goes first, but then the

207
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: division record in the case of the split, which they have.

208
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: It's interesting what you brought up about the Chiefs and

209
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: their remaining schedule. Uh, they are looking at this coming

210
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: off the mini by as get this, start the run,

211
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: let's get in and the nightmare. Right, that's the prescription.

212
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: This is sprint to the finish. Yeah the Macro. Now,

213
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: I did bring up the twenty twelve game. It's not

214
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: an exact comparison, but it is the AFC champs. It

215
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: is the team that you just got to beat. If

216
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: you're going to be the best, you gotta beat the best.

217
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: And they're still the best until they're not, right, because

218
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: they could finish with a win out and all of

219
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know they're back in the AFC Championship

220
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: game again, and oh my gosh, the Chiefs nightmare continues

221
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: for the rest of the league. I'll say this, everybody

222
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: in the world outside of Chiefs Kingdom is a Texans fan.

223
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 6: Yeah.

224
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we will have the full Texans of the entire league.

225
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: And while it was awkward for many, especially in this city,

226
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: to root for the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, it will

227
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: not be awkward to root for the Houston Texans.

228
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: No.

229
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think even the AFC South teams will

230
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: be like, come, I just do it and then we'll

231
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: deal with you later.

232
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

233
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: Chiefs, I agree, I agree with you. We are uh

234
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: we are America's team on Sunday night.

235
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

236
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: We are America's team on Sunday Night. So it's I mean,

237
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: look the you know, four weeks from now or five

238
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: weeks from now, whatever it might be. I hope we

239
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: don't look back and go, man, we had this game

240
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: against this team, this game against this team. You know,

241
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 3: we didn't take advantage of this. I think there's a

242
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: good opportunity of what you have left when you look

243
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: at the schedules of what's left for each of these teams.

244
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: Texan scheduled, Yeah, it's Chiefs and Chargers, but then it's Cardinals, Raiders.

245
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: And if you.

246
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: Get through this one, see you win this one, you

247
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: go to eight and five. You got three in the

248
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: last four at home.

249
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: That's beautiful.

250
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Three to the last four at home in Arizona and

251
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and they're not exactly in playoff contention. No

252
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals are out. Actually I'm just wait, say both out?

253
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: I would think so if they're not out their route. Yeah,

254
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: all right, So it doesn't mean they can't give you

255
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: a game. No, you know, play and loose. You had

256
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: a turnover. Oh my gosh, they've got something going. You

257
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: didn't step on their throat, right, I mean, you better

258
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: be ready for anything. Titans of last year anybody, and

259
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: you have the Cults in the regular season finale. Look,

260
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: it's all about this one. And the other comparison that

261
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: doesn't match up with twenty twelve is this. You did

262
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: play them competitively last year twice December and January.

263
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: You know what it's like.

264
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: The Texans had not been to New England in six

265
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: years when they went in twenty twelve. They were there

266
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: in six and they got blown out David Carr quarterback

267
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak's first year, total blowout, total blowout by the Patriots.

268
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: So there you are playing them now. You played them

269
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: in nine here in that regular season finale, the game

270
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: where Welker got hurt and all that. But it was

271
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: three years prior and the team changed. So now you've

272
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: got them brock at that point. Yeah, now you go

273
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: up there. And that was the coming out party for

274
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman. So in twenty twelve, they put everything on

275
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: full display in primetime and they had the hurry up

276
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: stuff and you were just caught off guard and that

277
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: was it.

278
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 2: This is different. You know the Chiefs.

279
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: You've played with the Chiefs, You've competed with the Chiefs,

280
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: so you know what to expect. You know, cold weather,

281
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: you had it twice last year, worse than the playoffs.

282
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: But that was a night game basically, as it turned out,

283
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: so go get it. Was it a night well, I

284
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: think it was an afternoon game, but it got dark

285
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: at the end or.

286
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: What the playoff game? Yeah, yeah, playoff game started like

287
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 3: three or four and the after yeah, yeah, it gets

288
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: dark at got So it was night in the second half,

289
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: like it was dark when Joe Mixon ran in and

290
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: made it thirteen twelve.

291
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: I think the prevailing thought.

292
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: You and I talked about this Monday when we got

293
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: back on radio, when after we lost that game the

294
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: Chiefs in the playoffs, and it was either on the

295
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: air during the break we were talking about at some

296
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: point and I said, what's the most maddening aspect of

297
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: the loss to the Chiefs in that playoff game? And

298
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: I remember you saying exactly what I've been thinking, and

299
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: that was I thought we had him.

300
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: At thirteen twelve when.

301
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 3: Joe scored, I looked up at the scoreboard and they

302
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: flashed the stats up on the board and we had

303
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: at that point like one hundred and I can't remember

304
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: what the number. It was, like one hundred and twenty

305
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: five rushing yards to the ten or something like that.

306
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 2: That's the prescription.

307
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 3: And I just remember going, holy crap. I mean, I

308
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 3: knew we were running it and that was a long

309
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 3: drive that got us to within one, and I remember thinking.

310
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: Got Lee.

311
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: We really Wow, we're sticking it down their throat. Now

312
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: fast forward to what we have Now, what can we do?

313
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: And I think the other thing too, is we played,

314
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: you know, obviously, in the regular season game, we lost Tank,

315
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: so we played about a quarter plus, which basically just

316
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: Nico on the field. I mean, X, you know, got

317
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: some out there, whatever was left of Robert Woods right

318
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: playoff game, we don't have Tank at all, and X

319
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: stepped up and did some good things.

320
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: Nico is Nico. But now all all things knock on wood.

321
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: Everybody healthy.

322
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: You got your guys, your tight ends, you know, you

323
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,119
Speaker 3: got k back, you got your guys, you got your weapons.

324
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: So it's not like you're going in there with the

325
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: with the sore and you're just swinging one sword. You're

326
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: going in there with a few different types of weapons

327
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: that you can defeat these guys, and if your defense

328
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: gets after it, then I think there's a you know,

329
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: solid opportunity to go in there and get a win

330
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: that you know we would have, we would love to have.

331
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: Think about it before the Buffalo game, you and I

332
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: talking it off the air, and we're like, man, if

333
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: we can just get two of these three Bill's colts chiefs,

334
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: just get two of these three.

335
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: Two already.

336
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: I'm not saying you're playing with house money because this

337
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: one's important, but in a sense, you wanted to get

338
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: two out of three so you could at least be

339
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: over five hundred when you start the run of Cardinals, Raiders, Chargers.

340
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: I agree with you. We were there then. Now we're

341
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: in a different place. Now are different mentality, You have

342
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: higher goals. Now, go ahead, take care of business. And

343
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: guess what. Now, the narrative next week if you win

344
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: this game will be, oh my gosh, the Chiefs are

345
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: they dead? Blah blah blah. Fine, let be the narrative.

346
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't that's fine. You don't need all the credit.

347
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some. By about tuesday, people will realize, oh,

348
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: wait a minute, the Texans beat him and look at

349
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: them now. They are on a freaking roll with five

350
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: wins in a row. But that's the goal. It's one

351
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: game at a time. And you brought up Caid. He's

352
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: back after getting hurt Week one, played last week, played

353
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: this past game against the Indianapolis Colts, and we had

354
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: a chance to visit with the second year tight end

355
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: in studio with us. Now is Texan's tight end and

356
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: occasional quarterback, Cade Stover.

357
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: How's it go? Okad right?

358
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 5: How are you doing today?

359
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: All right? We are so back. It's great to have

360
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: you back in studio.

361
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: We love our visits and tell us how it feels

362
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: to be back making a contribution the way you are.

363
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 6: It's great being out when you get it taken away

364
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 6: from you like that, especially after a long offseason. If

365
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 6: you like you're in a good spot, and then the

366
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 6: first game he gets taken away for two months. It's

367
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 6: bad and some grown pains coming back after not playing

368
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 6: for two months jumping right back into it. But we're

369
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 6: starting to get our feet underneath us and we're rolling

370
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 6: a little bit now.

371
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: Kid has a field kind of shaking the rust off

372
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: a little bit. Because it was week one. I think

373
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: it was right near the too many warning against the

374
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: Rams were it happened. And I don't know hump at

375
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: the timeframe is whether you know it or not. But

376
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: how how is it band kind of shaking the rust off?

377
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: Because it's not like you could just jump right in

378
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 3: aea let's just go. I mean you play tight end.

379
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: I mean you're going against some of the best in

380
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 3: the world at that position. How's it band kind of

381
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: shaking the rust off?

382
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 5: Lot? No, it's hard.

383
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 6: It's been Realistically, I didn't think it was going to

384
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 6: be hard. I mean I had trainers telling me, hey, like,

385
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 6: you're going to go play two games and have one

386
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 6: padded practice before those two games. Yeah, and you hadn't played,

387
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 6: Like I don't really care like that, So I'm fine,

388
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. Realistically, You're probably right.

389
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 4: It was tough.

390
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 6: Right, But I was never going to tell them it's hard.

391
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 6: It was good, but I mean it's just like anything else,

392
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 6: you just got to keep I mean, you keep cracking

393
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 6: and then once. I mean, these guys are in mid

394
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 6: season playoff form right now, and I'm just kind of

395
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 6: getting my feet underneath me.

396
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 5: So it was tough.

397
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's not just like you do one thing.

398
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: You do a lot of different things. We'll get to

399
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: the Toush push in a moment here, but as your

400
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: position is played, you catch passes, your block, you're a

401
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: full back, you do a lot of different things.

402
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 4: Right.

403
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 6: No, it's a lot. It's a very it's a demanding spot,

404
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 6: there's no doubt about it. But it's also fun, you

405
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Like there's constantly you always have

406
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 6: something different, you can learn and do something different. There's

407
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 6: so many different ways you can tribute to help this team.

408
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: There's gonna be a lot of talking.

409
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: I know Mark wants talk about the Toush push, but

410
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about what I think is

411
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: one of the more underrated plays of the game. And

412
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about your connection with CJ

413
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: because it felt like that is really what kind of

414
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 3: made that completion happen when he boots to the right

415
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: and you're coming across and I can't remember where you

416
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: lined up, but you're coming across. You got Franklin by

417
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 3: about a step. I'm sure you and CJ have probably

418
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 3: worked that a play like that at some point. I

419
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: think you had a touchdown against Wisconsin on something like

420
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: that way back in the day.

421
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: But take us through that play, if you don't mind.

422
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: How did that come to be and how was it

423
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: having that connection with CJ knowing, Hey, he's going to

424
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: put a ball in this spot, I just got to

425
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: go make a good catch.

426
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, uh yeah, we've ran the play. I don't know

427
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 6: that's a lot of times us running that player or

428
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 6: a similar form of it. But it's just a little

429
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 6: play action boot pass that we're having and we know,

430
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 6: I mean, he knows where I want to show up

431
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 6: at and I know exactly where a ball is going

432
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 6: to be, So we don't have any doubt about that.

433
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 6: It makes everything else pretty easy.

434
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 5: Yep.

435
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: Is it interesting with you coming back last week, him

436
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: coming back this week against the Colts? What is it

437
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: like to be with him? I mean, we talk about

438
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: you and him in college from time to time, but

439
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: just having both of you return at roughly the same time.

440
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: It's just good.

441
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 6: I really do I think that. I mean, I hate

442
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 6: to put the cart in front on the horse here,

443
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 6: but I really think that everything happened for a reason.

444
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 6: And starting N three and starting rough like this, I

445
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 6: mean like there's nothing more dangerous than a battle tested,

446
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 6: like scarretup team in my opinion, and for us coming

447
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 6: back at the same time here roughly the same time

448
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 6: and getting our feet back underneath us, and then hopefully

449
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 6: by end of the season here we're in mid season form

450
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 6: to make hell of a run at this thing.

451
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: So kay, you're gonna have to excuse us for a

452
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 3: little bit because Mark and I have some PTSD from quarterback.

453
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 4: Sneaks and things of the like over the years. Okay

454
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: we've had.

455
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: Some ancient history.

456
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there have been some things that have quarterback sneaks.

457
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 4: But when you go under center and I'm in Marxi

458
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: the whole time of.

459
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: Like STOs at QB, Stars at QB, and it was like, WHOA,

460
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: what just happened?

461
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 4: How did all that kind of come to be of you?

462
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: Was it something that it came to you with and said, hey,

463
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: you know we think this would work with you. We've

464
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: talked about this before. You played every position in high school,

465
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: including quarterback. How comfortable were you under center? Kind of

466
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: take us through it, and did you get to call

467
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: it play in the hudd or CJ.

468
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 6: No, he calls it play in huddle. I just listened. Yeah,

469
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm comfortable with it. It's been a while

470
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 6: obviously since I've been under center and took snaps with

471
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 6: a NFL sized ball. It's all different, but but I

472
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 6: mean we've worked on it. We've repped it here for

473
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 6: quite a while now, and just we finally pulled it

474
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 6: out of the bag and pulled all the bag a

475
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 6: couple of times.

476
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, were you nervous about it?

477
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: I know you don't get nervous about much. Were you nervous?

478
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 4: I mean, like Warren had just botched one?

479
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 6: Was the one that was When he did that, I'm like, oh,

480
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 6: this is not foreshadowing something terrible to happen. No, I

481
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 6: just in my head, I'm like, you know what, just

482
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 6: make sure you get the ball, and once you get

483
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 6: the ball, you don't get it, so you'll be fine.

484
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 6: Just get the snap and then you're fine.

485
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: And it's just complete at that point, right, just driving

486
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: the legs.

487
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, basically is a long as they don't take your

488
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 6: legs out before or you're cittinger takes your legs out

489
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 6: before you can get your feet underneath you, you're gonna

490
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 6: be fine. But if they do get a little bit

491
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 6: of a surge. But I got a couple guys behind

492
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 6: me pushing me, it works.

493
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: There's also the protect the ball thing, right, I mean,

494
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: you have to have maximum ball security right there.

495
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

496
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 6: I don't know, you're not worried about that. You just

497
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 6: you're hold on that thing no matter what.

498
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 2: So can you dive over the top? Can you do

499
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: one of the thought about it? Yeah?

500
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 6: And then you think of like everybody else that fumbles

501
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 6: the ball going over.

502
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 4: To it's not like the end zone, right, the end zone,

503
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 4: you just touch it and the plays over. You're done.

504
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 3: But in the middle of the field, if you do

505
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 3: that and they knock it away from new help.

506
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you extend the ball and they punch it out,

507
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 6: then you're really and you're really never gonna see it again.

508
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm going to ask this one and just

509
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: bear with me. Remember we're on radio. What's the strangest

510
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: because the one thing I kept thinking about is there

511
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: are about twenty two hundred plus pound people all on

512
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: a big pile. And I've been down at the bottom

513
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: of a few piles. I've seen some weird things. I've

514
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: heard some weird things. What's the weirdest thing that's ever

515
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 3: happened at the bottom of the pile to you or

516
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: somebody there in a pile?

517
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 6: In college or anytime anytime there was a I was

518
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 6: dating and growing college. Her brother was a tight end

519
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 6: okay for the opposite team. Oh okay, okay, and my

520
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 6: roommates with Steel Chambers, Tommy's linebackers.

521
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

522
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 6: I don't know if I can say it's on the radio,

523
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 6: I'll keep it PG.

524
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: We can record it, we can take it out of

525
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: get at.

526
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 5: It, and.

527
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 6: We all like we're sitting down at the dinner table

528
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 6: like the night after that, you know what I mean,

529
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 6: and I didn't really realize what was going on or nothing.

530
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 6: Like Steele sits on a table he goes, hey, I

531
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 6: just kind of man, I got to tell you guys something. Okay,

532
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 6: this is waging on my mind right now. He goes Kennedy,

533
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 6: he goes, your brother flat out tried to grab my Johnson. Man,

534
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 6: he goes just ain't right.

535
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, at the table. Hilarious, it is great

536
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: and a mistake news, right.

537
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 5: Real news.

538
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 6: It was really I don't know. Nobody knows this day.

539
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 4: Oh man, I we don't have that.

540
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: I have one very very similar to that in high

541
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: school or in college and almost the same exact thing,

542
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: except it was punches.

543
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and it was multiple times.

544
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 3: It's running back from Princeton and carried it like twenty

545
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 3: five times. And every time that he carried it, my

546
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: buddy who was the other safety, going Mike Tyson.

547
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 4: Every time they had him down the house, and finally

548
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 4: he broke.

549
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: Finally he broke.

550
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: At the very end, he started screaming from the bottom

551
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 3: of the pile. They had the game one and my

552
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: buddies still do We're not like twenty seven to six

553
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 3: and my buddy's still doing it at the bottom clash.

554
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get things back on track here.

Speaker 1: Good luck Texans taking out the Kansas City Chief. Sunday night.

556
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: It's gotta be cold, but not for you, right, this

557
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: is nothing for you. Thirty degrees that's nothing. That's like

558
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: a nice winter morning up North farming and enjoying.

559
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 6: Yourself seems like a kind of morning. You wake up

560
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 6: and you go and you walk outside and see the

561
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: cows bread and you're like, hey man, this is this

562
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 6: is where you're supposed to be right here, right Yeah,

563
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 6: nice brisk morning for us.

564
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about the guys who aren't as used to that,

565
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: especially practicing here because we practice I mean deep in November.

566
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: It's still hot out yeah.

567
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 6: No, yeah, it's beautiful still right now. It's I don't know.

568
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 6: I just just keep moving, you know what I mean.

569
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 6: The best thing to do is you get cold when

570
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 6: you sit around. Yep, So keep moving. Defense is out there.

571
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 6: Keep moving on the sideline, to get on the bike,

572
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 6: pedal around, drag up and down, whatever you got to do.

573
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: How much does it help the team that you played

574
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: there twice late last year December and January, and you've

575
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: been in that building with that noise, that environment against

576
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: that team.

577
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 6: Yeah no, I think it helps us tremendously. It's hard

578
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 6: to say exactly where it helps us right now without knowing,

579
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 6: but I mean, come next Monday, we'll know exactly where

580
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 6: it did help us.

581
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 5: Hopefully, Like I said.

582
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 6: Though, we got I mean we're we got some scars

583
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 6: on us and that's what that's dangerous.

584
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, house, the farm and how are people back home

585
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: feeling about what they did Saturday to that team up north.

00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 6: Farm is great and everybody back home is very happy,

587
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 6: absolutely static, very happy, very good day for the state

588
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 6: of Ohio. Obviously, when you bleed, when all of your

589
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 6: roots run in Ohio, it's a very important thing, quite honestly,

590
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 6: the most important thing in all of Ohioan's life when

591
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 6: you win that. And we were in a drought obviously

592
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 6: for a little bit there, so hopefully we can keep

593
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 6: the tables turning here.

594
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,760

Speaker 6: farms meet, that's right.

Speaker 1: Now, next up, we're going to get into some things

632
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: related to Sunday Night Football on the NBC. The announcers

633
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: for the National Football League, the number one teams. We

634
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: will power rank them, and also Johnny's gonna tell me

635
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: who's going to win between the Jags and the Colts.

636
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: After that, the CJ interview on McAfee. Highlights of that.

637
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: It's coming up here on Texans Radio. Continuing here on

638
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Mark VanderMeer, John Harris with you. All right,

639
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: before we get to ranking the announcers for NFL national games,

640
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: because this is the big one on Sunday. This is

641
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football on NBC, the number one show on television.

642
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that.

643
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: But quick note here relatively, the Jags and the Colts

644
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: get together this Sunday.

645
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: That's right, Johnny, Who's going to win this football?

646
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: Oh?

647
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: And we talked yesterday about who we want to win it. Yeah,

648
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: in the short term, but who will win it? Who

649
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: will actually prevail in this game? Are the Colts really done?

650
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: Because if the Colts lose this one, I think they

651
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: are done based on what they have to come on

652
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: the schedule. They're at Seattle, they have San Francisco at home.

653
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: Is that a Monday night game? Yeah, it's a Monday

654
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 2: they game. Ooh ooh, Monday night came.

655
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: And obviously the Texans to finish it off. Who's gonna win?

656
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: When's the last time the Colts went down to Duval

657
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: County and played worth of darn It's.

658
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: Well Andrew Luck won in twenty fourteen, right, Yeah, it's

659
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: been one and along the way they've had some bizarre

660
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: losses down there.

661
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: Yes, they remember that Carson wentz here.

662
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: Bizarre. That's what cost Hard Knocks. Yeah, the hard in

663
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: season Hard Knocks. Boy, that's a cursed show. No wonder

664
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: why they don't do it that way anymore.

665
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: No.

666
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 3: Dolphins called in the news coming out. Which is a division?

667
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: I know it's a division. It's the whole division?

668
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 8: Is it?

669
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: The NFC East takes NFC East?

670
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: Benjamin Solak, who writes for ESPN, he did. I don't

671
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: know what his article is titled. His article is titled

672
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: Week thirteen, Panic meter Eagles, Colts, Ravens, Steelers, Lions. So see,

673
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: we has to say about the Colts Panic meter for

674
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: the Colts one week away from all out mayhem. His

675
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 3: first first paragraph is just a line. The Colts are

676
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: on the cliffs edge. A month ago, they had lost

677
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: just their second game to Pittsburgh. Offense moved the ball,

678
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: will turned over five times, and the special teams gave

679
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: it over once six total times. Since then, they lost

680
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: that game. They went to Berlin, they won overtime. Bye

681
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: week Chiefs lost home, Texans lost. Now they go to

682
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: the place they have they rarely win, and Sas Gardner

683
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: looks like he's gonna be out a month, and the

684
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 3: Jaguars are playing some of the better football they've played,

685
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: and Daniel Jones can't move, and Jones can't move. To me,

686
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: there is no way the Colts win this game. And

687
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: yet maybe the Colts win this game, I mean because

688
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: the Jags could screw it up.

689
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: That's what they've got to hope for.

690
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: I don't know that the Jags will win this game,

691
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: but I do think there's a possibility that Jags could

692
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 3: mess the game up, yeah, and hand it on a

693
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: platter to the Colts, which, if I'm right, that's what

694
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 3: we want to have happened, right.

695
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence could fall down and not get up and

696
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: not score a touchdown.

697
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: If he did against the Chiefs, he could throw picks

698
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: to Jermaine Pratt. Yeah, I mean, who knows.

699
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 3: But typically against the Colts in Duval County, the Jaguars

700
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: have no matter what the record is, no matter what

701
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: the Colts are, no matter what the Jaguars are, they

702
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: go down to Duval County and it's like the Colts

703
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: lose their minds.

704
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: Remember the six nothing game? Yeah, Andrew Buck that was eighteen,

705
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: wasn't it.

706
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: When they were playing, they were playing incredibly against everybody.

707
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: They were starting to get rolling, they were scoring third

708
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: party plus, they were beating everybody. Then they got shut

709
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: out by a crappy Jaguars team.

710
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: Yep, because a year after going to the AFC Championship game,

711
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: they were no okay, they were done, they were cooked.

712
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: And now you're facing the Jags team that's pretty good

713
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: and they're frothing at them out to get this one.

714
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: So we like the Jags in this one. If you

715
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: had to pick it, you'd probably say Jags, right.

716
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: I think Jags to win it. I'm not sure what's

717
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: the spread on it.

718
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: Let's see the kids report when it comes out later.

719
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: This is not big.

720
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: This is not your official prediction. This is an early

721
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: Tuesday indicator here.

722
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just think based on I'm ninety nine

723
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 3: point nine sure Sauce isn't playing this game this He's

724
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: not playing.

725
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 2: He's not this arm. I don't think so.

726
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: Now, if the Jaguars start letting John Taylor run wild,

727
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: it's his leg. It's just like if they let John

728
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: Taylor run wild, it could change things. But I think

729
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: they're going to pressure Daniel Jones. I think Campinell, a

730
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: defense cording for Aguars, loves this situation.

731
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think Matt Burke is a

732
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: blitz aholic.

733
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: I do think Campanelli is okay, and I do think

734
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: that he is going to blitz Daniel Jones until either

735
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: his leg falls off, Jones throws seven touchdowns or both.

736
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 4: Well.

737
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: Jones does throw some nice passes. I mean the one,

738
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: the downs on the sideline, the one to Piers. We

739
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: talked about some of the good throws yesterday. He does

740
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: have some good signs. He's showing that he's developed, He's

741
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: gotten better than he was in New York. He's tough

742
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: as hell.

743
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: And he's tough as hell, never been questioned. But it's

744
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: even more so at the forefront that he is playing

745
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: through this because right now they don't have an option.

746
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: They don't have Jacoby Brissette to go to, they don't

747
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 3: have Jameis Winston that hey, we need a couple of weeks, Jamis,

748
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: go get a couple wins. They don't have Davis Mills

749
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 3: to go get them a couple of wins in a

750
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: row with Riley Leonard and that's it.

751
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could probably use a good backup quarterback right now,

752
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: but this might work out for them. Here's how Okay,

753
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, they limped on the finish, right, and he

754
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: gets healthy at some point in the offseason yep, and

755
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: they resign him yep. And now he's healthy, and now

756
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: they can run that back, you know, make some improvements.

757
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: They don't have picks, and they're paying him less money.

758
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: They're paying him less money than they would have to

759
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: if he finished strong. So now he's like, okay, I'll

760
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: resign here for limited money, and Ballard gives him a

761
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: three year deal, but they can get out of it

762
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: if it's horrible, and they run it back and they

763
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: have another good year.

764
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: And with their first round pick. Oh wait, no, well

765
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 3: with their first round pick the next yeah, but they do.

766
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: Look they'll be able to fortify in some ways. Now,

767
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: I know every team can. They'll have to make some

768
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: decisions on guys. But that is a very talented team.

769
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 3: We played them without Buckner and without Sauce for ninety

770
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: nine percent of the game.

771
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: Basically it was a nice miss Buckner. Yes, it was niceness.

772
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: I will also say that we should have won that

773
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 3: game by ten to seventeen points.

774
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: Okay, but we've seen that movie before. I could have

775
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: would have should have been better than Ohen three, should

776
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: have won games by more.

777
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously I'll.

778
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: Take the W no matter what exactly, No matter what

779
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: you're playing close games, you're winning them now as opposed

780
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,040

Speaker 3: Okay, the next step up Burkhart Brady. I actually like

796
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 3: Joe Davis and Greg Olsen. I put them a little

797
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 3: bit higher. But I know people think Joe gets a

798
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: little streamy at times.

799
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 2: Well, i'll give you the number two is in a moment. Okay,

800
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,080

Speaker 1: you know me?

808
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: I I there are times I'd like to know some

809
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 3: of the x's know's of things that are happening. Sometimes

810
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: I don't. Sometimes I just want to know the vibes.

811
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,479
Speaker 3: Sometimes I want to know what happened in the production meeting.

812
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes I want Troy to tell a story. I feel

813
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: like you get a little bit of all that with

814
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 3: Troy and I. I like Joe Buck. I like him

815
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 3: doing baseball. I like him doing football. I just I

816
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 3: know people don't like him. I get it, but I

817
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 3: I do. I like Buck and Aikman, I love Turrico.

818
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 3: On the way home the other night, you know, I've

819
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: got a longer ride home, so I put my phone

820
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 3: down and I turn on the game because I can't

821
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: get a radio broadcast of it. So I put on

822
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 3: the game and so I.

823
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: Can listen what just turned on six ten? It was oh,

824
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, but I just have gotten yeah. So I

825
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: listened to Tarico and Collinsworth. I Chris.

826
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, Chris is a tough listen to me. Okay,

827
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 2: you don't like him. I don't object that anyway. I

828
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: don't care.

829
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 3: But I love I love I love Turrico, Mike, Mike.

830
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 3: I think is just he can do anything. Skins game

831
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 3: got it, Olympic swimming, got it, Basketball got it, NFL

832
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: got it, College, got it. I remember he called the

833
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 3: West Virginia Miami game many many many years ago, is

834
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: after you left, so this is four. It was down

835
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 3: a Miami. It was a hell of a Thursday night

836
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 3: game and Mike was calling it. I can't remember who's

837
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: calling it with. And he was a great broadcast. I

838
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 3: just remember the broadcast being so good. The game was great.

839
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 3: It was just I loved listening to Rico. I've always

840
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: have so if Chris, Chris is seemingly a pretty good

841
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 3: dude from what I've heard, I just they're just things

842
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 3: that he brings into the broadcast, and I'm like.

843
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: I don't I don't need that. I don't need that.

844
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't mind him as much as you do at all.

845
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: I think he's pretty good. But I think Buck and

846
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: Aikman are number one. I'll go to Rico and Collin's

847
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: worth number two. Now I'm gonna change things up a bit.

848
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: Nath and Romo are next for me, even though I

849
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: know they're flawed. I'd rather listen to them than I

850
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: like Al. Still, I like his voice. It's holding up.

851
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: But Al and Herbstreet bother me because I don't think

852
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: Herbstreet should be doing the NFL, even though I don't

853
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: think he's doing a bad job.

854
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: I want to be clear on this, Herbstreet prepares.

855
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: I want a guy who's played in the NFL or

856
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: coached or done something with the NFL. I want some

857
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: guy on a national number one team who's been doing

858
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: something in the NFL.

859
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. It just doesn't make sense to me.

860
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: Uh, okay, recast Thursday night football, broadcast team.

861
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: Go up well with who's available? No, just whatever take

862
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: i'd rather have. I mean, if I'm on the spot

863
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: with this one, which sounds like I am, and I

864
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 1: can't take somebody who's already on a number one team.

865
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 3: No, take whatever team you want and make it Thursday

866
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: night football. I know who I'd take? Who if you

867
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 3: left the big the big crews were talking about where

868
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 3: you know, Nanson, Romo's, CBS, car et cetera. I put

869
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: Iron and JJ on Thursday Night Football.

870
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: A lot of fantastic. I see where you're going with this.

871
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 3: I think it would be fantastic. Yeah, I think it

872
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 3: would be a great Thursday I think Van Washburt in there.

873
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 3: I think Kayley does a really nice job. And by

874
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 3: the way, when she was here. I felt so bad

875
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: for Tommy was kicking, was punting, yeah, and she was

876
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 3: talking to somebody in midfield, and Tommy did not hit

877
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,959
Speaker 3: one very well. It came down and she was writing notes.

878
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 3: It came down right on top of her boom, broke

879
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 3: a couple of nails off. Oh no, oh yeah yeah.

880
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: I saw her talking to Tommy. I was like, this

881
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: is kind of interesting, the silent reporter talking to the punter,

882
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: and I was like, whoa. So then when Sal and

883
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 3: I were talking to Kaylee, She's like, yeah, she's showing.

884
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I broke off a couple of these nails.

885
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: And then I saw that she showed the video and

886
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, she got blasted. Anyways,

887
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: I think she does a great job. But I liked

888
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: that team of Iron JJ and Vid Washburn.

889
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 2: That would be good or Joe Davis even and Greg also.

890
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: I like that too.

891
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: Now I'm upset about Joe Davis because I'll go along

892
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: with Christopher Russo, the mad dog who went nuts, like what.

893
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: Did they don't call in the World Series.

894
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: Because he was so well, he's the Dodgers radio guys,

895
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: the Dodgers guy.

896
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: It's like you call on a TV game of the

897
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 2: Texans in the Super.

898
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: Bowl and being all happy about them winning, which I

899
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: would be, but people would question my objectivity exactly.

900
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 2: And they did.

901
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: And then what really got about, what really got a

902
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: upset was Davis m seeing the Dodgers parade. O yeah, yeah, yeah, yea,

903
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: because oh wait a minute, you gotta pick one here.

904
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 3: Now I know I was thinking about you that whole time, Like,

905
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 3: how would Mark call a Texans Super Bowl objective? He

906
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 3: sins Cowboys Super Bowl and you're calling it for TV.

907
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: Dax score. Darn it. This sucks. All right, Come on

916
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 4: C J.

917
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: Stroud was a guest from this very studio, by the way,

918
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: on the Pat McAfee show, on Monday, and he was

919
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: asked a lot of things. We're not going to get

920
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: into everything here, here's some highlights as McAfee asked C. J.

921
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: Stroud about how it's going with the Texans. What are

922
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: they have going on here? With a four game winning streak,

923
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: where can it all go?

924
00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

925
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 7: Of course, you know, we didn't start off, you know,

926
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 7: the way we wanted to. You know, we lost you know,

927
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 7: five games you know in between one score. But I think,

928
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 7: you know, other than you know, looking down on ourselves

929
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 7: about it, you know, it was a positive you know,

930
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 7: to fix some issues and then we start winning these

931
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 7: close games against these really good teams. You know, we'll

932
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 7: be able to you know, take the next leap to

933
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 7: you know, get to where we want to go, that'st

934
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 7: the playoffs and then go from there. So you know,

935
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 7: I thought, you know, yesterday was was a really good

936
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 7: start for us, you know, at least for me coming back.

937
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 7: And I thought, you know, we answered the bell against

938
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,479
Speaker 7: a really you know, really good team with the coach there,

939
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 7: you know, have a really good defense, and you know we.

940
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 5: Been playing really well offensively.

941
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 7: But like you said, our defense man is you know,

942
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 7: been you know, a rock and a you know, just

943
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 7: the best in the league from you know, I practice

944
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 7: against them, so I.

945
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 5: Know how hard it is to go against them.

946
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 8: Go ahead, yeah see j Obviously it's actually about the

947
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 8: Stroudhouse that we just saw this picture.

948
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 5: What is it about?

949
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 8: Like you seem to play very well inside the confines

950
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 8: of Lucas Oil?

951
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 4: What is it about that good sight lines?

952
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 8: Like a good bit like what is it seems like

953
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 8: you just obviously you play well all the time, but

954
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 8: whenever you come into the the Loudhouse, as Pat likes

955
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 8: to call what you seem to do, you know, take

956
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 8: it to another level.

957
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 5: It's the name of the place. Yeah.

958
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 7: I always just say, like the level of focus, you know, Uh,

959
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 7: maybe it goes up a little more just because it's

960
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 7: the divisional opponent. And you know, my boys, I hear

961
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 7: you know, he's always mad at me and he always

962
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 7: talking crazy, so that maybe turn me up just a

963
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 7: little bit. Uh, And so I know he's gonna hear

964
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 7: this and he's gonna hate it. But you know, uh,

965
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 7: after the game, we're always cool, but daring it.

966
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 5: Me and him go at it pretty good.

967
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 7: But it's just odd of competition, So you know, I

968
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 7: think it turns me up a little bit more, and

969
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 7: I think, you know, my old line here is it

970
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 7: and they want to play harder. So you know, it's

971
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 7: just a division.

972
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 5: Rival, you know.

973
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 7: And in those games, you know you're gonna be talking

974
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 7: back and forth and you know, having worse for one another.

975
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 7: And I think maybe that, you know, turns us up.

976
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 7: But yeah, I just try to, you know, just be

977
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 7: focused every play. You know, go want to know every play,

978
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 7: and you take it from there.

979
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 9: That's I'm sleep. Maybe we gotta play you guys again.

980
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 9: We gotta play you guys again. It's gonna be it's

981
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 9: gonna mean a lot.

982
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: And let's just let s C. J.

983
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,759

985
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 9: He'll tell I was watching to walk because you're right

986
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 9: in front of our suite, whether it's a touchdown happening

987
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 9: on the other side.

988
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 5: You got a full set.

989
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 9: You're by yourself, You're over there just having your time.

990
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 9: That old lineman comes running over to you. Your walk

991
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 9: is just that filled with or I mean, you are

992
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 9: your franchise QB brother. It is uh, it is cool

993
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 9: to watch you kind of do your thing now let's

994
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 9: talk about the quarterback position and everything that you've gone

995
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 9: through this year.

996
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Bud.

997
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, on that note, being a franchise QB, obviously you

998
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 10: were banged up and you had to kind of watch

999
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 10: the game from a different perspective you used to being

1000
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 10: out there. What's that relationship like with Davis Milly call

1001
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 10: him Dougie Mills, But what's the relationship we like with

1002
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 10: him off the field with you guys.

1003
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 5: That's my brother, bro.

1004
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 7: Like he's He's been a really great leader for me

1005
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 7: come into the league. I thought, you know, coming in,

1006
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 7: you know, fighting for the same position. You know, he

1007
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 7: always showed me love still and I try to do

1008
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 7: the same, and he's made me better. I feel like

1009
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 7: I made him better. We have our QB dinners that

1010
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 7: we do, you know, and we had a lot. His wife,

1011
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 7: you know, is a really good friend of mine as well.

1012
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 7: And his family, you know, I meet them, you know,

1013

Speaker 7: I always support him always, you know, him on and

1016
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 7: I just think it's funny that people ask these questions now,

1017
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 7: just you know, because he's you know, had you know,

1018
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 7: some really good games and you know, it's something that

1019
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 7: like I root that on. I want I think he's

1020
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 7: a start in the NFL, you know, and I think,

1021
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 7: you know, he's proven that.

1022
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 9: It feels like you guys have a great culture down there.

1023
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 9: On that note, Connor has a question for you.

1024
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, CJ. Yesterday and throughout this four game win streak,

1025
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 11: Jayden Higgins and wood Marks have really come alive.

1026
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: Two rookies.

1027
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 11: Nick Cassario once again in his bag, how what have

1028
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 11: you seen from them as the season has gone on,

1029
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 11: just developing as a wide receiver and running back and

1030
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 11: their contributions to the offense during this win streak.

1031
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I always remember my rookie year and like being

1032
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 7: thrown in the fire and kind of just thinking of

1033
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 7: time on task. You know, it's like somethings you know,

1034
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 7: are better when you just get thrown in the fire.

1035
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 7: You have to figure it out. And I thought, you know,

1036
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 7: they've they've figured it out pretty early. So you know,

1037
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 7: Woody has been an anchor, you know, in a running game,

1038
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,479
Speaker 7: and you know it's created a lot of you know, big,

1039
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 7: big time running plays for us. And then on top

1040
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 7: of that, you know Higg is out there, you know,

1041
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 7: and he's he has a lot on his plate, blocking

1042
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 7: and you know, running routes, and I thought he's done

1043
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 7: a great job of that and you know, clean body language,

1044
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 7: and you know, it hasn't been overnight. A lot of

1045
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 7: conversations that I have with those guys, just you know,

1046
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 7: being that I was just a rookie, you know, two

1047
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 7: years ago. You know, it just shows that you know,

1048
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 7: like I understand, you know, what they're going through. And

1049
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 7: I think the main thing is like confidence, you know,

1050
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 7: with that being a rookie, you know, so you can

1051
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 7: keep your confidence. Man, this is the same game playing

1052
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 7: since we were ten eleven years old.

1053
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 5: It's just you know, at a different scale.

1054
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 7: So the confidence that you bring each and every day,

1055
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 7: you know, and the preparation you know, all you know

1056
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 7: as up to you know, how you play on Sundays.
