We've got a lot of stuff to talk 32 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: to you about with Dre. Right here, let's go. I 33 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,919 Speaker 1: want to go a little class half full, class half empty. 34 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: First of all, the offensive line, we've been talking about 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: them doing a nice job yesterday with a revamped situation 36 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: at the town back spots. Both your starters out as 37 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: it turns out, and they're able to move the ball 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: very well, protect Watson very well until that last play 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: at the end, and that was just one of those 40 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: things that happens. But overall, what were your thoughts yeah, 41 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: I thought we were giving away player of the Game, 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: and I thought the entire group deserved Player of the 43 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: Game for the way they played. It's it's hard to 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: develop chemistry, even when you have off seasons and things 45 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: of that sort of weeks to work on it as 46 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: a group. And I told you yesterday sometimes the best 47 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: five players aren't the best make the best offensive line. 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: It's the best five players you can get to play 49 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: as one group. And they came together pretty quick yesterday. 50 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: I thought they deserved a lot of the credit. Obviously 51 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: there was a play late in the game, but certainly 52 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: if you go through there are obviously other plays that 53 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: you could point to in that game along the way, 54 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: but that may have caused them the game. I thought 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: they played well as a group, a couple of young 56 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: players getting their feet wet for extend did periods of time. 57 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: Charlie Beck, for the most part, I thought he held 58 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: up very very well, and uh you know, he hadn't 59 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: been able to either even put on at a set 60 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: of shoulder pads for on game day for the most 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: for most of the season. So I thought he played well. 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: I thought the rest of the group I just kind 63 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: of came together and allowed him to run the football 64 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: as well as he gave DeShawn Watson time. Drey, you 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: mentioned right there to Shaun Watson. You've played that position, 66 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: and you've played in front of your starting offensive line. 67 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: You've probably played in front of a line that you went, 68 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: wait a second, I got this guy out. I got 69 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: that guy out. How much of what's the right word 70 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: to say here, how much of a mental situation is 71 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: that for a quarterback to go, Holy cow, I got 72 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: two new tackles and I got a new guard in there. 73 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: How do you think to shan handled that? But how 74 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: tough is that as a quarterback to know what's in 75 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: front of you and then to perform the way that 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: DeShawn did yesterday. For the most part, Yeah, that happened 77 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: to me in Detroit, And uh, you know, for for 78 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: a brief second you you think about it, but then it's, hey, 79 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: I got to trust the guys to do their jobs, 80 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: and so you quickly file it away somewhere in the 81 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: back of your mind and you just go play football. 82 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: We happen to win that week that that weekend, so 83 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: you know it can be done. Guys just just have 84 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: to play together. They got to that's the group that's 85 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: the most important on the entire football team as as 86 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: a position group or grouping of players. Uh, they've you've 87 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: got to have everything and sync up up front. And 88 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: I thought yesterday that young group with Roger Johnson at 89 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: left tackle and Sharpening at left guard, Um, they came 90 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: together pretty quick and uh and allowed David Johnson to 91 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: have the afternoon that he had. It allowed Deshaun Watson 92 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: to throw his thirtieth and franchise setting touchdown pass. It 93 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: was that group and so uh, you know, you got 94 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: to give him some credit. So Johnny was saying and 95 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: that group might suit Johnson's style a little bit more, 96 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: just the way they played. Look, the Bengals don't have 97 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: a good record, we get it, but they've been in 98 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: some close games and they've they held the Steelers to 99 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: seventeen at their place, or they held the seventeen Steelers 100 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: to seventeen on Monday Night football. Anyway, in a big 101 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: game for Pittsburgh. What was it about David Johnson yesterday? 102 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: What was different? Because boy, that would have been great 103 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: from the get go, that kind of stuff. We just 104 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: weren't getting that as a group. I mean, I'll put 105 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: it as a group thing, but clearly that was his 106 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: best day. Again, basically, road graders up front, they could 107 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: hold blocks a little bit longer and they don't understand 108 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: yet that backs through the hole, so they're still blocking. 109 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's what David needs as in terms 110 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: of being able to hold a block of just a 111 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: little bit longer to allow him to get the full 112 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: speed and then once he bursts through, then you got something. 113 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: He hit too big home two big runs I'm if 114 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm remembering right yesterday and it was later in the game, 115 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: and so that tells me that they were actually wearing 116 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: down Cincinnati's front seven with the blocks, that it's happening 117 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: later in the game rather than the early success and 118 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: then it drops off. So it's a big credit to 119 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: them upfront. Drake Mark and I talked about this a 120 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: little bit, and playing offense, you don't think about, you know, turnovers, 121 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: you want to try and avoid them. But as a defense, 122 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: you think, man, we've got to go get turnovers. This 123 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: team has not done it. So I'll ask you this turnovers. 124 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: Do you think it's something that can be coached or 125 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: do you think it's just it just has to be 126 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: inherent in a player to go find the ball. And 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: the person I think about a lot is Tyron Matthew. 128 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: Tyrant was a ball magnet. No matter where he was 129 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: playing and what he was doing, he just somehow found 130 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: a way to the football and could go take it 131 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: away or punch it out or do whatever. Do you 132 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: think that's something that can be taught or do you 133 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: think it's gonna have to be personnel that helps the 134 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: defense go get the ball better than it did this 135 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: year and the year project. Yeah, I actually think it's 136 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of both, because, for example, you mentioned 137 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: Tyn Matthew Tyra. Matthew plays within the system, but then 138 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: he uses his instinct. So there's a freedom within the 139 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: system that he plays with, and that comes from being 140 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: confident in knowing what you're doing. And if you're all 141 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: the time shuttling players in and out of a lineup, 142 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: then I don't think the majority of them are playing 143 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: with a whole lot of confidence because they're thinking their 144 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: way through what to do within the system on this 145 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: particular play. As well, if you're gonna have turnovers happen, 146 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this during the game yesterday as well, 147 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: you've got to have pass rush, and sometimes pass rush 148 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: sack isn't always the best thing to have happened. The 149 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: hurry is the best thing to force a quarterback to 150 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: step up or get the ball out. In a hurry 151 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: where he's going somewhere faster than he wants to, maybe 152 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: there's a distraction enough for him to throw a bad 153 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: ball and get and allow a defensive backer linebacker to 154 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: get a jump on it in certain situations. I don't 155 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: know that, uh that Brandon Allen was touched yesterday, let 156 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: alone pressured. And I mean there may be a few 157 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 1: on the stat sheet where it says he was pressured 158 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: a couple of times, but for him to throw for 159 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: three seventy one, he wasn't pressured enough. Tray. The Texans 160 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: take on the Titans on Sunday, and I was hoping 161 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: for this. I didn't want to see the Titans rest 162 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: starters and stuff like that. Uh so this becomes a 163 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: three twenty five kick. What are your thoughts on this one? 164 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be tough. We got to 165 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: stop the Cincinnati ground game. Yeah, it's it's it's game on, 166 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, because now they need this one and they 167 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: hold the tiebreaker over Indianapolis and so on and so forth. 168 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: So they got to come in and uh and have 169 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: this game happen for him, um and for a lot 170 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: of different reasons. So they're gonna they can't afford to 171 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: rest anybody, and so now you get to play the 172 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: spoiler role. It's you know, anybody, any Texans player watching 173 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: that game last night? She said, Okay, now it's on. 174 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: We finally get a chance to pin some indirect way 175 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: affect them on a Sunday afternoon where it matters to them. 176 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: And that's enough right there to strap it up and 177 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: come into work this week and get things done. Dre 178 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: with the Titans, we saw them last night, Ingry May. 179 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this briefly. You got Derreck 180 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: Henry arguably the best running back in the league. They're 181 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: playing in snow. You'd think this game would suit them, 182 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: and yet they're down nineteen nothing and really kind of 183 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: took Henry out of the game because the Packers jumped 184 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: up on them. As such, we've seen that team up close. 185 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: We saw him in week six, now we're gonna see 186 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: him in week seventeen. We've seen him throughout the year 187 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: because obviously watch the AFC South. What's your overall thought 188 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: about how far that Titans team can go in the playoffs. 189 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: I think when you have a running game, obviously the 190 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: caliber of what they're dealing with or what they have, 191 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: you could go pretty far. I think Tannehill's playing some 192 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: outstanding football as well. They showed a stat that was 193 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: kind of crazy with him in terms of every so 194 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: many passes. I don't remember exactly what it is, but 195 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: he's throwing a touchdown pass in that period of time, 196 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: and so I didn't really know that, and really you 197 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: really don't think of him in that manner. But he's 198 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: played a tremendous He's played tremendous this season and a 199 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: lot of consistency from that spot. So we were always 200 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: worried about if Tennessee got a guy that could consistently 201 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: operate from behind center. And then you mix in Derrick Henry. 202 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: I think the A. J. Brown is growing as a receiver. 203 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: Corey Davis, he's growing as a receiver. Janus Smith is well, 204 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: in my opinion, one of the more athletic and better 205 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: tie young tight ends in this in the NFL or 206 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: in the league, and so they present a problem to 207 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of different defenses where they 208 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: can just pound away. I mean, it's a direct conflict 209 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: to what and how Kansas City wants to play because 210 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: they're they're offensive on the field a lot with the 211 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: way the Titans go about their business. So if there's 212 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: a team out there that can keep Kansas City's offense 213 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: on the sideline during the playoffs, it would be Tennessee 214 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: because of the style and which which they play. So 215 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: it's it's ugly, it's dirty. You look up and it's 216 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen, and that's how they want to play. It 217 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: an ugly, muggy game that when you look up late 218 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, they're still hanging around. Obviously that 219 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: didn't happen in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers in that 220 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: passing attack last night, but that's usually in you know, 221 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: on the neutral field or a field that's not snowed 222 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: in and conditions like that, they're usually hanging around late 223 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: in the game. Can you guys straight me out on 224 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: something this recent and it's relatively recently in the last 225 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: few years, and it's really balloon this year. These percentage 226 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: probabilities out there for things happening drive drive me crazy. 227 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: I don't care. All right, So Miami's win probability on 228 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: Saturday Night after the Raider You know, the Raiders had 229 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: the lead late and everything before FITZI made the twisted 230 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: head throw or I don't know what they're gonna call 231 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: that game in Miami, Johnny. But anyway, before Fitz made 232 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: the throw, it was like ninety nine. Of course it 233 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: was duh. How about the Cowboys chances of making the 234 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: playoffs two point six percent earlier this month after they 235 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: lost to the Ravens. Yeah, I know they were out 236 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: of it, but guess what, Now they got a shot. 237 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: Not that I'm rooting for them, but now they got 238 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: a shot. I don't need to know these percentage probabilities, 239 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: dre the chances of you winning the Heisman Trophy when 240 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: you were five years old, we're probably like point whatever. 241 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: The chances of meeting an NFL an answer, who cares, 242 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: Let's just play ball, live your life. These percentage probabilities. 243 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: You cannot go by this except when it comes to one. Now, 244 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, what do you guys? Am I going 245 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: too far here? No? No, it's producers that use on 246 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: those use those things as a crutch when they're doing games. 247 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: And so that's a stat that they can easily just 248 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: kind of trout out there, uh, that that they've dug 249 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: up from somewhere or somewhere quickly that they could get to. 250 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: So it's it's it's just lazy producing in my opinion, 251 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: and they're able to, you know, hey, let's stick this 252 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: in the game, and then the announced crew has to 253 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: use it because it's it's coming from the producer, uh, 254 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: that that nobody sees or hears that. That's that's definitely 255 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: I can I can promise you that announcers aren't on 256 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: board with those those kinds of stats. Well, and here's 257 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: the other thing, Mark the obvious what you're talking about 258 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: is media driven etc. Where you got to be cognizant 259 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: of it is our coach is being told, hey, coach, 260 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: you got a ninety three percent chance to win if 261 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: as John Gruden did play for the fuel goal here 262 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: if And that's where it gets kind of tricky. And 263 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: at that point, I'll go back to Michael Jordan in 264 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: the last game. They said in his second year, look, 265 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: there's a ten percent chance that you could get it 266 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: again and it will ruin your career. And he's like, yo, 267 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: but what about the ninety percent chance. I'm willing to 268 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: go that way. And that's what a lot of coaches 269 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: are doing, is, well, Okay, what's my percent chance to 270 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: win here? If I do this well, it's gonna be 271 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: seventy eight point five. But what if I do this well, 272 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be twenty seven. Now when you start looking 273 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: at it from that perspective, and that's just applying football 274 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: logic to a situation. You're gonna do what John Gruden 275 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: did the other night, and that was not get the 276 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: touchdown and run off the time, which the Dolphins we're 277 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: gonna give They were gonna give up the touchdown the 278 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: play before. When Jacobs goes down, you should have known 279 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: at that point, ah, they'll give you the touchdown, take 280 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: the touchdown on third down, get the two point conversion, 281 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: and now you don't get beat by a touchdown. But yeah, 282 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: I think I think it's just a little bit different 283 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: than the analytics that you're talking about and what Mark 284 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: talked about. They're always analytics in game where things do 285 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: you kick the field goal? Do you go for the 286 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: touchdown here? But there isn't and it gives you a 287 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: ninety percent chance to win if you do it this way, 288 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: that part of it, I think, if I'm understanding Mark's 289 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: question right, just kind of hiding there. But they're always 290 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: going to be analytics based on how coaches think in 291 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: certain situations of a game, punnet versus going forward and 292 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: things of that sort. But when it just kind of 293 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: pops up there randomly after the fact and you're just 294 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: sitting there like duh, really that those are that's the 295 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: that's the those are the analytics. I think Mark's referring 296 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: to that that irritates. Yeah, But I think that what 297 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: Johnny brings up is interesting as well, because you know, 298 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: I might have whatever percentage of making a fourth down 299 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: conversion late in the game or going for two and 300 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: making it, but my team might be tired, maybe my 301 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: own lines getting pushed off the ball, maybe they're dominating, 302 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: and it's even a greater percentage chance of converting or 303 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: whatever the case is. There are other factors, like it 304 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: all depends on the data there's been to create percentages. 305 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: There's not a guy in your ear saying, hey, coach, 306 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: if you you know the team's tired. It says in 307 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: the analytics that it's a three point fourth's answers to 308 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: there's not a guy in Bludin's ears saying that. You know, 309 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: that's that's being made as a coach. But there are 310 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: teams that have a guy. There are teams that have 311 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: a guy that is calculating those percentages. Not all every 312 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: single team throughout the league, but in certain well, I 313 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: mean they're not Let's say, let's say you go by 314 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: their recommendation and then you lose what's the accountability factor there? 315 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: It's like jack, you know, It's like when I'm at 316 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: the card table, these percentages play out just fine because 317 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: there are no other variables at that well, there are 318 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: people at the table making their decisions. I get it. 319 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: You don't have to be the third base Trey when 320 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: you play blackjack. You want to make sure somebody good 321 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: is sitting at third base, right good he can't. If 322 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: he can't play, I'm out of there. It takes and 323 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: it takes one deal of the cards to figure it 324 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: out if he can't play a good knowing you guys, 325 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: I'll see your realm. There are plenty of other tables 326 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: to play throughout the entire casino. No, it's no no, 327 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: But a matter of fact, I'm trying to be the 328 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: guy at third base, you'd rather have that seat, sure, 329 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: because you feel confident in your ability that this is 330 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: This is a pure subjective question here, but obviously, if 331 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: you beat the Titans, uh, you have a chance to 332 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: help the Colts here. And I'm not saying you want 333 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: to lay down against anybody, but uh, and they both 334 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: could end up making it. Right. This is a weird year. 335 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how I feel about this, 336 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: but if I have a chance to knock one of 337 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: these teams out, I'd rather knock the Titans out. I 338 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: hate the Colts worse than any team in the AFC South, 339 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: but I can't see the Titans going in. I just 340 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: don't want to see this again. I don't want to 341 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: see this movie again. Get out. So Texans beat them 342 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: Sunday and get whatever aid we need to hurt their chances. 343 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: And look, it's not like I'm pulling for the Colts 344 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: or anything. The Colts have a good chance of making 345 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: it though, because if they beat Jacksonville and I would 346 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: say the odds are pretty good. Even though they lost 347 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: to them opening Day, and Miami, Cleveland or Baltimore lose. Now, 348 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: though that's an ore, that's not all of them you 349 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: need to lose. It's Miami, Cleveland or Baltimore they're in. 350 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: So the Cults have a great chance of being in anyway, 351 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: it's just to win the division. They need the Titans 352 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: to go down. It's interesting, what are your thoughts. It's 353 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: just kind of weird how the years gone when you 354 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: look at where the finishing record of both those teams 355 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: would be. And then on the other side, you got 356 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys still in it if they win and some 357 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: things happen in their division, and I just and and 358 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: you know, winning the division, whoever wins it. Uh, you know, 359 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: you just flip a coin. They're gonna get a you know, 360 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: you get you get a home game from being under 361 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: their sub five hundred, which is which is Uh. I 362 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: think needs to be revisited when you when everybody's playing 363 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: certain divisions or you know, basically everybody, then you need 364 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: to revisit how you're how you're setting up the playoffs 365 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: based on you know, records. I know it's been done 366 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: that way for years, but to hell with traditions has 367 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: kind of been uh, the way things have gone about. 368 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: It's certainly that way in college football. We don't they 369 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: don't even traditions don't exist anymore, Teams don't play one 370 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: another anymore, and things of that sort. So this is 371 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: one I think needs to be revisited. Hey, if they 372 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: can move the extra point back mark, they can certainly revisit. 373 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: How does seed teams going into the playoffs face so 374 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: win loss records. I've only laughing. I'm only laughing because 375 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: I know that every week, every every week. I mean, look, 376 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: from now on, you have to work that into every conversation. 377 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't care how, I don't care how you do it. 378 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: You just have to work out of the conversation. Man, 379 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: three of us have been doing games together radio together 380 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: for such a long time. It's always good to get 381 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: on the air and just have a laugh because I'll 382 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: tell you what, in the twenty twenty season, we haven't 383 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: had many of them. But I do know if there's 384 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: a source spot for a drey Ware is that extra 385 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: point in the NFL? Man? Yeah, Man, he does not 386 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: like that whatsoever, So I'm indifferent. I'd rather just go 387 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: for two and not have to kick an extra point. 388 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: But that's just me, all right. We get back onto 389 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: from the General John McClain right here on this Monday 390 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access.

Welcome back to this Monday Nitiation 405 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. On a wonderful Monday evening, the 406 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: sun did come up, and as Mark likes to say, 407 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: that sun is DeShawn Watson, and he rises every day 408 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: to look down upon the city of Houston, and hopefully 409 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay, but that was nasty. I couldn't 410 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: tell from where I was standing in my moat, where 411 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: I've been all year long, fifteen games solid now, I 412 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: could not see what exactly to have. I thought he 413 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: got hit on the elbow again, like Deshauna got hit 414 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: in the game against the Bears, But it actually was 415 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: his hand got caught in the face mask. I got 416 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: home with my wife was like, so the shawan is okay? 417 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: Is DeShawn okay? And I hope so? And she goes, man, 418 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: that was nasty, got his hand caught in the face mask. 419 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: I was like, wait what And when you see it again, 420 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: You're like, whoa, how did his arm just not completely 421 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: come out of socket? Man? That was ugly, very very ugly. 422 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: And Sam Humber didn't do anything wrong. I mean he 423 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: just went and made a play and it just you know, 424 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: those things happen. It's like the shoan I'm getting kicked 425 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: in the eye. You know, those things happen. So hopefully 426 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: DW four is gonna be okay and we can move 427 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: forward through this final game and they get on twenty 428 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: twenty one as fast as we possibly can with fans 429 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: in the stands. Back to normal, back on the side, 430 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But that's that's for down 431 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: the road. Let's finish up the season, let's get new GM, 432 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: new head coach, and let's move this thing in a 433 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: positive direction. Okay, if I didn't say it already, I'm 434 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: John Harris Football else to solid reporter for your Houston Texans, 435 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: and there is a different John in the city that 436 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: you all know very very well more than me, and 437 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: that's John McClain from the Houston Chronicle. We had plenty 438 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 1: to talk about with the general, that's for sure, all right, General, 439 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: before we get into what, before we get into the future, 440 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: let's get into yesterday a little bit. How did you 441 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: see it? Another late crunch time turnover doing the Texans 442 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: in I thought it was very interesting, guys that they 443 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: had to make three changes in the offensive line and 444 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: only center Nick Martin and right guard Zac Folton were 445 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: playing their normal positions, and with so many guys out, 446 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: and yet they did their best job of run blocking 447 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: to give up one sack Rookie Charlie Ak who wouldn't 448 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: have been playing if it wasn't for injuries to Titus 449 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: Howard Laramy Tonsill and got beat off the corner and 450 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: at one sack, one fumble, and it was I felt 451 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: bad for Ack, but I thought the line overall played 452 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: its best game. Best game they had running by far 453 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty six yards, but the defense was 454 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: just awful. As J. J. Watt, I've never heard a 455 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: player with the Texans go off the way Watt did 456 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: after that game yesterday. You can tell I was frustration. 457 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: Is frustration obviously, as was some players that eat things, 458 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 1: don't prepare and work as hard as you should be working. Now. 459 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't he's not talking about I don't think during games. 460 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: Think it sounds like he's talking about to get ready 461 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: for games, because if they did a better job of 462 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: getting ready, maybe they wouldn't have so many mistakes. But 463 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: getting beat by Brandon Allen, who was coming back from 464 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: a knee injury, third starter, they've had it quarterback with 465 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon out, with Tyler Boyd out and giving up 466 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: five hundred and forty yards, that's just inexcusable. All right, John, 467 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the thoughts. I was gonna ask 468 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: you about J. J. Watton what he had to say, 469 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: but you sort of expanded on that, and you can 470 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: expand further with what I'm about to ask you, of 471 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: the players that you saw yesterday on the defensive side, 472 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: you and I and Mark and everybody else, how many 473 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: of them do you think start for the Texans in 474 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one on defense? Oh? Not many, but they're 475 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: getting heide, just like Brandon Allen Wall to start, Smagi 476 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: p Ryan Wall to start. I'm not making an excuse. 477 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm not making an excuse for No, I'm not just 478 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: asking a legitimate question. I'm not making any excuse because 479 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: what was on that field yesterday played like absolute Look 480 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: they're under man Okay, they don't have the starters out there, 481 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: That's not my point. They still jumped offside, they still 482 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: did dumb things. They still didn't break on the football. 483 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: They just didn't create turn ups. I'm just curious as 484 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: to how many players do you think from what we 485 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: saw yesterday, we'll start for them. Let's let's say JJ 486 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: is back in twenty twenty one. Beyond JJ, how many 487 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: other players that we saw yesterday do you think play 488 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: and start and make significant contributions to next year's defense. Well, 489 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: I believe, first of all, why we'll be back. I'm like, 490 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: what Zach Cunningham, maybe Tyrrell Adams, depending on what they 491 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: have some tough decisions, and inside linebacker because he made 492 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: some new contract and he had two guys inside making 493 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: a lot of money with Cunningham and McKinney, and so 494 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: I would say those say those two what trying to 495 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: thank any defensive lineman they know. And then in the secondary, 496 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: I think Hargraves has a chance to be the nickel corner. 497 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: And that's it. John McClain joining us from the Houston 498 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: Chronicle General. Look, I love watching Deshaun Watson play, even 499 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: this season. This is it's like if we were watching 500 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: basketball watching somebody score to forty points, but the team 501 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: still loses. At least you enjoyed some of that forty, 502 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: but I hate losing. What are you thinking of his 503 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: performance yesterday the whole season, what you've seen from number four, 504 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: especially yesterday with a running game to help out. I 505 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: thought that he's played great. He's done it in difficult 506 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: circumstances to not have a running game except for that 507 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: one game. It shows you the ballance they had four 508 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: and eighty eight yards. I believe it's amazing he keeps 509 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: compiling those great ratings. One interception in ten games, and 510 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: that one wasn't his fault when Kenny Moore stripped it 511 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: from Cooks against that first Colts defeat. But I think 512 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna He's already or will, although I wouldn't blame 513 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: him in this last game if it were me. But 514 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: he's set career highs and every statistical category leading the league. 515 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: An average per attempt is amazing. Yesterday for him to 516 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: only get sacked watch you know, it was a catastrophic. 517 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: But Wat's been fantastic. He's the calling card that would 518 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: make the job interesting for coaches and gems, and I 519 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: think it will be a top job for coach and 520 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: GM candidates starting with him. Of course, he's been tremendous. 521 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: John A Division kind of took a little bit of 522 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: a left turn yesterday. We thought the Steelers Colts game 523 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: would be a good game. But the Steelers jump out, sorry, 524 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: the Colts jump out big blew a lead in the 525 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: second half. Man Titans, Packers. Everybody's jeered up into the 526 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: snow game at Lambeau and then the Titans look like, 527 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: you know what I can't say on the radio, how 528 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: do you kind of play this out this week? Where 529 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: the Colts get the Jags at home and the Titans 530 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: come here to Houston. Is it as simple as both 531 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: Titans Colts win Titans, I guess to get the tiebreaker. 532 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: How do you see the FC cell playing out this weekend? 533 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: You think? And they got to have three teams love, 534 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: So I think that the Colts are going to get 535 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: left out at eleven and five and the Titans will 536 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: begin at eleven and five their first division title since 537 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. They already have their first record 538 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: better than nine and seven since two thousand and eight, 539 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: even though they got crushed last night. A lot of 540 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: times players think, Okay, you know we can. We can 541 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: back it in here when next week and win the division. 542 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: And I picked Tennessee to win it before the season. 543 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: Take the Texans to win a wild card birth and 544 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: so I think the Cults, by blowing that twenty four 545 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: to seven league and leading twenty four to fourteen in 546 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and blowing it to the Steelers, that 547 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: that's going to keep them out of the playoffs. I mean, 548 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: eleven and five and you're out in a seventeen field 549 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: in the conference. That hurts a lot. I mean, before 550 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: the season, I thought somebody's gonna get in at nine 551 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: and seven for sure. In the AFC did not happen 552 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: that way, because we talked about it, John, eight and 553 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: eight league, but not enough teams are flirting with eight 554 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: and eight, like the Jets with their two win season, 555 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: and that's a lot for them according to some people, 556 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: and the Texans what they're doing because they're glass emptied 557 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: and the Bengals clearly at four ten and one. Well, John, 558 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: let's talk about the search. What are you expecting this week? 559 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you expecting a GM to get hired 560 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: who's working for another team right now? And maybe that's 561 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot to ask you right now? Don't all that? Yes, 562 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: I think. I don't think if somebody's out on the 563 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: street like a Demitra or one of these other guys, well, 564 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean they should get an interviewed, but you know 565 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: I don't. You're going to hire John Dorsey has been 566 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: fired twice and a big part of it was his personality. 567 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: I think they want somebody that's going to come in 568 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: and be able to work with this guy and not 569 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: be a dictator. And they want a general manager. He's 570 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: going to have control of personnel. It's going to be 571 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: the same set up there with Charlie Cashley and Don 572 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: Gay versus and Rick Smith and Gary Kubiak and Rick 573 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: Smith and Bill O'Brien when Bill got there until the 574 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: problems started behind the scenes, and he'll have control of personnel. 575 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: He will be the main person on the search committee 576 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: to recommend Calming there who he wants to hire as 577 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: a head coach, and I think cal will sign off 578 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: on that recommendation. He'll be continuing to head the search committee. 579 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: But they got to get the GM hired. There's so 580 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: I wrote about this Friday about there's so many good 581 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: candidates to be general managers. Now may they may not 582 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: work out, but I'm talking about guys who have been 583 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: really good an instrumental in team success heading personnel departments. 584 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of guys, some guys who can 585 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: get his package deals. Titan's got two GM prospects and 586 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator a lot of people think 587 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: will be ed coach the GM at Indianapolis assistant GMed Dots. 588 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: He's turned down opportunities to interview Chris Baller's right in 589 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: man and Ed Dodds and Matt Eberflus as a head 590 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: coach San Francisco, Rob Robert Sala, who we know well 591 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: from the six years with the Texans. Ryan Peters is 592 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: a guy in their front office people think is ready 593 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: to be a GM. There's several like that, the guy 594 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: that Terry Kerzner at Seattle and maybe Brian Schottenheimer. But 595 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys who've been Now got 596 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: this list from from talking to people, exchanging emails and 597 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: texts with people and reading about what people think are 598 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: the top guys and kind of putting together a list 599 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: that had they were on multiple people's lists of recommendations, 600 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: and so I know they want to get that GM hired. 601 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: They'll hit the ground running. You know. You let agents 602 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: know now we want to talk to your client, and 603 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: our agents let them know, hey, my client is very 604 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: interested in your job. And then like forty nine ers 605 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: are going not going to make the playoffs. Robert Salik 606 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: and doing in person interviews. He can do zoom whatever 607 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: you want to do to handle it. Could be Cal 608 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: McNair and Jamie Roots Jed Hughes fly to that team's 609 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: city or somewhere in between to interview a guy in person. 610 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: But I gems don't get recycled a lot. I think 611 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: the guy that would have the best chance would be 612 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Thomas Dimitroff, who started as an assistant groundskeeper in Cleveland 613 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: and worked his way up under Bill Belichick Cleveland, New England, 614 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: and was with the Falcons twelve years. And people here Falcons, 615 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't want to guy from the Falcons. Well, 616 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: he's two time Executive of the Year, he had a 617 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: Super Bowl team, he had another winner, went to the 618 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: championship game. He's very respected. I'm not saying he's gonna 619 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: get hired. I still think it's gonna be somebody like 620 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: they had with Gary Kubiak and Rick Smith, two guys 621 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: who are going to be first timers, unless some coach 622 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: that we don't know, if we don't expect, gets fired, 623 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: becomes available, like say when Andy Reid did or for 624 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City just fell out of this guy. They jumped 625 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: all over him in five minutes and the rest is history. 626 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna find a segment and left to 627 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: this Monday edition of Texans All Access thanks to Dre 628 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: and the John.

All right, Friday game on Christmas, 656 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: the Saints or Outstanding beat the Vikings fifty two to 657 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: thirty three. Alvin Kamara had not one, not two, not three, 658 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 1: not four, not five, but six touchdowns and should have 659 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 1: had a seventh, which would have been an NFL league record, 660 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: but instead Sean Payton handled the ball with Taysom Hill 661 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: I think in the wildcat actually, and he carried it 662 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: in from two yards. I mean, that was it. Alvin 663 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: Kamerica had the record, but no Taysom Hill had to 664 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: get his Either way, Kamara won all of you your 665 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: fantasy leagues or either beat you in fantasy one hundred 666 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: and fifty five yards rushing, six touchdowns. He also had 667 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: three catches or seventeen yards. My goodness, have a day 668 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 1: A cave forty one. The Saints moved to eleven and four. 669 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: Now they're not out of the running for the number 670 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: one spot, I believe. I think I think they could 671 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: get to twelve and four, and I think the Packers. 672 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: One of the Packers would have the bye week. You know, 673 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: the Packers are going to end up either being I 674 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: think one or two, which could move the Saints to three, 675 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: depending how things go with Seattle. Seattle can still at 676 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: eleven and four. Seattle can get the twelve and four 677 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: and I think Seattle has tiebreakers with one or both 678 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: of Green Bay in New Orleans. So still some things 679 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: to shake out over in the NFC, but the Saints 680 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: have positioned themselves perfectly to do that now. Also in 681 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: the AC NFC South, the Buccaneers beat up the under 682 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: manned on the sideline coaching staff Lions forty seven to seven. 683 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: The Bucks get in the playoffs. Now it's the matter 684 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: of the seating. They cannot win the division because they 685 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: have lost the tiebreaker. They lost twice the Saints, so 686 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: they can still finish with the same record eleven and five, 687 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: but they won't get in because the Saints beat the 688 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: Bucks twice this year. The forty nine Ers beat the 689 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: Cardinals and really put a huge problem on the Cardinals 690 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: getting into the playoffs. Now that became an even bigger 691 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: problem because the Bears went to Jacksonville and the Bears 692 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: beat up the Jags forty one to seventeen. And coming 693 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: out of the draft, I was a huge David Montgomery fan. Well, 694 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: the first play the game against US, you saw why 695 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: you're starting to seat over the last few weeks. He 696 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: had ninety five yards rushing against the Jaguars on twenty 697 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: three carries, the average over four yards of pop had 698 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He also had two catches for twenty six 699 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: yards as well. As the Bears have won three in 700 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: a row. They won five out of six to start, 701 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: then lost six in a row, then on they won 702 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 1: three in a row, and Mitchell Trubisky's kind of getting 703 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,479 Speaker 1: it together pretty much. He still makes that one throw 704 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: where you're like, mister Biscuit apparently that's his nickname, what 705 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: are you doing? They overcome that, though, and the Bears 706 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: forty one to seventeen and put themselves squarely in the playoffs. 707 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: Seat the Bears just have to win one final game 708 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: in Week seventeen, and unfortunately for them, that is going 709 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 1: to be against the I believe it's the Green Bay 710 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: Packers that they have to play a second time. So 711 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: from that perspective, not going to be easy, to say 712 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: the least for the Chicago Bears, but the Packers. And 713 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: we'll see if the Packers aren't ready to pack this 714 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: thing in and go home. But that's gonna be tough 715 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: for the Bears to get that dub to get the 716 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: nine to seven. So if they stayed eight and eight, 717 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: that opens up all kinds of opportunities for everybody else 718 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: there in the playoff race in the NFC. All right, 719 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: let's move on to Oh my goodness, MetLife. Talking about 720 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: screwing up your playoff chances. How about the Cleveland Browns 721 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: taking on the New York Jets. This is two weeks 722 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: in a row. Now, it's not just two weeks in 723 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: the row. The Jets have gotten two wins. They didn't 724 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars, and I don't know the Lions. They 725 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: beat the Rams last week, a team more than likely 726 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs, but not a guarantee. They beat 727 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: them last week, and then they beat the Browns. When 728 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: the Browns are getting down Jameson Crowder caught a pass, 729 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: caught a touchdown pass, also throw a touchdown to Braxton Barrio, 730 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: slot receiver to slot receiver, and they end up winning 731 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: that game twenty three to sixteen. They came up big, big, 732 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: big on a fourth down that gave the Browns a win. 733 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: And man, what a game it was for the Jets 734 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: to get a second win on the year. Now, on 735 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: one end, you got the playoffs. On the other end, 736 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: you got the draft. That win by the Jets and 737 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 1: the loss by the Jags locked up the number one 738 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: overall pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars. All right, let's go 739 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 1: to Kansas City where they've got a former first round 740 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: pick playing quarterback for Kansas City, and that's Patrick Mahomes. 741 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: But this one was not easy. In the slightest. The 742 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,959 Speaker 1: Chiefs had to come from behind. They were behind, oh, 743 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 1: I think kind of periodically throughout the day. The Falcons 744 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: took a lead with four thirty three left when la 745 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: Quan Treadwell caught a five yard touchdown pass from Matt 746 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: Ryan that gave him a fourteen ten lead. The Falcons 747 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: at four and ten maybe knocking off Kansas City, but 748 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 1: the Marcus Hobson caught a touchdown pass front Patrick Mahomes, 749 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: who gave him a seventeen fourteen lead, but the Falcons 750 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: came right back down the field, had an opportunity to 751 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: tie it a thirty nine yarder and young Wake who 752 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: hit it right down the middle and then it leaked 753 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: right and he missed it. And that's been kind of 754 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: the story of the Falcon season. They've been right there 755 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: talking about us losing some one score games. Those guys 756 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: have had massive leads and blown them. Mahomes not great, 757 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: not typical, forty twenty four to forty four for two 758 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: seventy eight two touchdowns, did throw an interception and the 759 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: interception was like, what's he doing? Chiefs offense hasn't quite 760 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 1: been on track, But part of the reason that they 761 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: couldn't get on track was because the Falcon's offense was phenomenal. 762 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: The Falcons through twenty seven to thirty five for three 763 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: hundred yards and two touchdowns. Matt Ryan did had one 764 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: twenty one rating and Calvin Ridley was a dude one 765 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards receiving on five catch and also 766 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst had a touchdown catch along with Lakwan Treadwell. 767 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 1: But the Falcons can't pull it off. So with the 768 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: way things are in the AFC, the Chiefs have clinched 769 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 1: that first spot bye week, it all goes through Arrowhead 770 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: for a third straight season. That's gonna make it tough. 771 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: You gotta play those games outside. That's gonna be hard, 772 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: very very difficult. But and maybe the Chiefs need that 773 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: time off the counter regroup. I think the teams that 774 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: get a bye week this year, it's gonna help maybe 775 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: more than any other maybe any other time, because it'll 776 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: be the only one getting out bye week. The thing is, 777 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: you can't go anywhere. You gotta just go home and rest, 778 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: but you don't get tested into all that COVID stuff. 779 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: So maybe not as what it used to be. That 780 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: Biby's gonna be hugely important for the Chiefs over in 781 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: the AFC. Also a big game in pitts Burg. The 782 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: Colts jumped up on the Pittsburgh Steelers twenty four to seven, 783 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 1: and then with three to sixteen left in the third quarters, 784 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,439 Speaker 1: so keep that in mind. Three sixteen in the third quarter, 785 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger found Deonte Johnson at thirty nine yard touchdown pass 786 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 1: that cut the lead to twenty four fourteen then Eric 787 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: Ebron caught a touchdown pass. Then Juju Smith Schuster caught 788 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass. Before you know it, the Steelers were 789 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: up twenty eight twenty four. And I say before you 790 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 1: knew it because with three to sixteen, it was seven 791 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: thirty eight left in the fourth quarter, So that's seven 792 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: minutes in twenty two seconds plus the three sixteen in 793 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: less than a quarter. The Steelers erase the Colts twenty 794 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: four to seven lead, and they would win that game 795 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: and put the Colts in all kinds of playoff trouble. Now, 796 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 1: the Colts can get in the playoffs with a winner Jacksonville, 797 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: which is to be expected, but they need some help. 798 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: They need some help from the Browns, the Dolphins, or 799 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: the Ravens. They need one of those three to lose. 800 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: Now you would think, okay, that's a possibility. Pittsburgh still 801 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 1: playing for seating. Maybe two. They won't get the one, 802 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: but they could get the two or stay it two. 803 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: So Pittsburgh still play for seating. They're playing the Browns, 804 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are taking on are they taking on the 805 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: juggernaut that is the Jets. I think that's actually what's 806 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: going on this weekend. In week seventeen. I think the 807 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: Dolphins get the Jets. That oh no, I'm sorry. The 808 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: Dolphins get the Bills. Oh, that's not gonna be good 809 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins because the Bills are still playing for 810 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: some seating. That's gonna be difficult on the ball on 811 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. The Ravens get the Bengals. So I think 812 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens, even though the Bengals have played well. I 813 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: think the Ravens are gonna go to Sits Downy beat 814 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: the Bengals. We'll talk about this later in the week. 815 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins will lose to the Bills. The 816 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: Colts will beat the Jags, and the Colts will get in. 817 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: The Dolphins will go home and try and figure out 818 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 1: who the quarterback is going to be in the future. 819 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: All right. Week sixteen had a lot going on, including 820 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 1: Seattle beating the Rams and essentially locking up the NFC West. 821 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: I think they did lock up the NFC West with 822 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: a lot more to play for this weekend because they 823 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: could end up getting all the way to number one 824 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,800 Speaker 1: in the NFC and get that bye week. As we 825 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: said for the kids to the Chiefs, that's gonna be huge. 826 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,760 Speaker 1: Who's gonna get it? In the NFC Saints Packers Seahawks. 827 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: That's going to be a fun playoff to watch.
