1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,559
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bows of the metal, wide

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: open across the five peason touchdown, Quston fires somebody, this

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: is intercepted. Doc took got possessions with picks for this

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Texans defense takeaway number three on the day. Game day

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: is every day, five nights a week. They hits keep

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: on coming. No, it's Texans all excess. Oh yes, it

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: is Hello Texans. Mark vanderber, John Harris with you. And

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, and that means the General pays a visit

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. Here is the Texans get ready to

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. It is game number five.

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Still looking for wind number one, oh for four in

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: getting wins? Oh one or wait, oh three and one? Boy,

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 1: this is just tough the record, Johnny, I did one,

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: oh three and one. Want to get a digit in

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: the first one other than zero. We got to get

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: that going. And John McClean joins us general. Is that

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: going to happen on Sunday? What are your thoughts? The

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Jags are a lot better, they're coming off a bad game,

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: But what do you think of the matchup? This weekend.

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: It's been so long since the Texans lost to the Jaguars,

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: it's almost forgot what it was like. You know, it's

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson's rookie year. That first game, Jacksonville came

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: down RG Stadium, got ten sacks. The Tom Savage air

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: didn't last very long. Bill O'Brien went with Watson, and

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe they were so good back then.

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: They almost won the ANC Championship game at New England,

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: and then the team fell apart because they wouldn't play it,

29
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: pay them what they thought players wanted out. They left

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: in free agency, and then they fell apart again. And

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: I hear people now, well, the Jaguars are better than

32
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: the Texas. Well they should be, considering they've had the

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: first overall pick the last two years and they've been

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: stuck filing these high techs. Do you guys know, right

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, this blows me away.

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 1: The Texans have only three number one picks they've drafted

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: and only one number two pick they've drafted on their roster.

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: That is amazing. The only ones that didn't come this

39
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: year was Titan Let's see, was Titus Howard Because they

40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: missed the last two because of Bill O'Brien's trade for

41
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Laramie Tonso so they have not been able to stockpile

42
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: high picks when they won only four games. And can

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: they beat Jacksonville? Sure, they could have beaten in Indianapolis,

44
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Chicago and the Chargers. They were close to winning all

45
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: of them. And you keep thinking these things they do

46
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter that are bad enough to lose.

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: At some point they might do something good enough to win,

48
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: and then maybe at Mushrooms and they're able to win

49
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: in two or three. But right now, it's when they

50
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: get to the fourth quarter. Even the other day when

51
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: they scored ten points in the fourth quarter and you

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: need one stinking stop and you let them go eighty

53
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: four yards and twelve carries for the winning touchdown. So

54
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: I think people wouldn't be as mad at the Texans

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: if they've been beaten by fifteen or twenty points because

56
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: they get getting closed and blowing them in the fourth quarter.

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: People are infuriated that they can't close the deal. John

58
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: one or the other. Texans can start fast or finished fast?

59
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Which one would you rather see them do on Sunday? Well,

60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: if you start fast, there's always a chance that Jaguars

61
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: can come back. If you finished fast, then that means

62
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you're probably going to win the game. You know, offensively,

63
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: they finished fast. It's amazing to me how many of

64
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: their sacks have been in crucial situations, going back to

65
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: the strip. Sacking against Indie are penalties at crucial situations.

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: So thank the other day twenty two yard completion to

67
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: the twenty twos. That what it was to cooks ye Kenyan,

68
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: green holding and just little things like that that they

69
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: can't seem to put behind them or just go a

70
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: quarter without doing it. But John answered to your question,

71
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: give me that fast finish. Okay, fast finish. I don't know.

72
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I want to fast start and try to hold

73
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: them off. I'm not even sure anymore. I just how

74
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: about fast finished, fast start, all of it really good throughout.

75
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: That'd be really nice. Yeah, you know, John McClean is

76
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: with us, So I heard the afternoon show guys talking

77
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: about this with Davis Mills. In that second half, put

78
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: together back to back drives, very nice. Obviously, when they

79
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: got the turnover, they weren't able to move the ball.

80
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: They had to settle for the field goal. That might

81
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: have made a big difference the way it played out

82
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, we'll never know. But what

83
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: did you make of Mills during those two drives, John Is?

84
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: That's something they can sort of bottle up and continue

85
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: with another week of practice, maybe some progress made as

86
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: you head to North Florida to take out the Jaguars.

87
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: One of the things that I've been looking at when

88
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: I go back and watch and replay multiple times, so

89
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: many times Mills has thrown and in completion when somebody's

90
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: been pushed back in his face. Kenyan Green had a

91
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: very tough game on Sunday. You talk about a baptism

92
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: by fire. You hope he can bounce back in past

93
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: protection and he had too many penalties and then he

94
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: just didn't do a good job. So when he's got

95
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: time to throw, you know, nobody's perfect. But when he's

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: got some time and he looks good, that long pass

97
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: to Nico Collins, you wish they could do that more.

98
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: Nobody could have thrown a better bullet touchdown to Brandon

99
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Cooks than Davis Mills did. He was covered, he put

100
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: it right on the money. And then sometimes there's that

101
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: fourth down call which I still can't leave and they're

102
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: talking about going to Rex Burkhead or letting Mills run it.

103
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: Burkehead was covered. I watched it. He was covered, and

104
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: you know Mills as a runner. That to me is

105
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: not what you want on fourth and one. But I

106
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: do believe that this is a better team. I know

107
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: it's a better team than last year. You know, Damian

108
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: Pears makes a better, better offense. Mills is not playing

109
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: as well as he played in the last season. He

110
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 1: hasn't had the consistency. You know, they're not getting Jordan

111
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Nakins has been a revelation. He's not getting the ball much,

112
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: but running after the catch and tied in. And then

113
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: something I noticed, and I wrote about this on the

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: sports Radio sixteen dot com, was the blocking by Nico Collins,

115
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: O J. Howard and Troy Harriston in that last game.

116
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Those guys blocked their butts off, and it was I'm

117
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: sure the coaches just loved watching it, because you know

118
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: how like guys to knock people on their budget. Troy

119
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Harriston is reminds me already Vante Leech as a blocker.

120
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: I knew you were going there. I knew it, and

121
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely true. I think the one thing

122
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: I always used think about Vante John was the fact

123
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: that Vonte he seemed to play like a linebacker at fullback.

124
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Troy Harriston was a linebacker that is now playing fullback,

125
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: and he has taken that with him and I think

126
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's been symbolic in his play in

127
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: some sense. John, you mentioned Oj Howard, Jordan Aikins. The

128
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Texans waived or released Farrell Brown and then Chris Conley

129
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: off the practice squad, but mainly Farrell Brown. I don't know,

130
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: we've we haven't had a chance to talk to you

131
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: about that. Your thoughts of Farrell Brown being released and

132
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: more than likely Jordan Nakin's coming up to join OJA

133
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: up on the fifty three of your thoughts, Ellie better

134
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: be because he's earned it. You know, he got a

135
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: new leaves on life when the Texans brought him back,

136
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: and he's got a touchdown, and he's got that thirty

137
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: yard catching run, which he did a tremendous job. I

138
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: guess they got frustrated with Farov and in and out

139
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: of the lineup. You know, he had said he wanted

140
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: to be All Pro this year because his agent total

141
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: him blocking tight ends make the minimum now he's gone

142
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, but I think I would like to see

143
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: them try to get the ball more to Howard Nakins.

144
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, i'd like to see him

145
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: get him more than Nico Collins. And I'd like to

146
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: see him do something to get the ball to Damien

147
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Pears in which he wasn't just an outlet where he

148
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: went and stood out in the flat and waited it

149
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: being checked out and boomed. Somebody's on him, designed to

150
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: play to get him in space. The previous game he

151
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: averaged ten af yards to catch because he got the

152
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: ball on the run and he put a move on

153
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: somebody and he got by him. There's a lot of

154
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: things I think they could do better in the passing

155
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: game as they continue to try to make progress. John

156
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: McLean joining us on Texans Radio. John thoughts on the

157
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: special teams here, because that's a shining spot here this

158
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: season in a very frustrating campaign so far through four games.

159
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: But Frank Ross's bunch is doing really well and it

160
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: looks like he's just got all this energy. He's getting

161
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: results out of what he's working with. And I think

162
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: you made the point previously that a lot of these

163
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: guys do have experience in special teams and that's certainly helping.

164
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: One thing they've got through people back and you know,

165
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: there was a reason last year that Nick serial gave

166
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: one contract to a free agent more than two years.

167
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: That was Cameron Johnston, a three year contract and he's

168
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: worked it and Kimi Fairbaron. Other than that miss field

169
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: goal that looked like he was kicking in Cleveland Stadium

170
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: in December, he's been great. His kickoffs are so deep,

171
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: and the coverage has been good. The returns have been okay,

172
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: but you know they got it going on. Is always

173
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: tell people the performance of Fairbaron and Johnston would not

174
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: be possible without whom John Weeks, I know the areas

175
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: snapper in NFL history, John flip it over to the

176
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: Jaguar side. I'm really it's a part of me that's

177
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: excited and I don't know if that's the right word

178
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: to say, maybe intrigue to see the transformation one year

179
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: to the next of Trevor Lawrence and see what he

180
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: looks like up close. I've seen on TV, I've seen

181
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: it on the surface, I've seen it from all different angles.

182
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: But I want to see it up close. What do

183
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: you think Doug Peterson has really meant to Trevor. Is

184
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: it just that it's not Urban Meyer or is it

185
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: all the years of offensive football these coached has really

186
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: kind of started to really show itself with Trevor. What

187
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about Trevor and how he's looked through

188
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: four games and the transformation he's made from last year

189
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: to this. Well, he doesn't have to worry about his

190
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: head coach going to a club squeezing some woman, but

191
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: it's not his wife, and so they don't add that controversy.

192
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: They have consistency, and I think it's the mental part

193
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: that's helped him the most. You know, he was awfully

194
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: lost four fumbles. That's rare. That means you got to

195
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: be hitting him a lot to get the ball out.

196
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Two previous games he played really, really well. He doesn't

197
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of weapons yet you know they've got

198
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: two good running backs. They're not running the ball as

199
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: well as in the past. And I'll tell you somebody, John,

200
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: it's even more fired up than you about this game.

201
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: As George Warhop the first air offensive line coaching team

202
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: from the Jaguars, and you know they want to run

203
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: the ball. The Texans, it's Saint James Robinson run well

204
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: against them. They've not played against Travis c Ten, who's

205
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: more of a receiver than a running back. But they

206
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: want to establish the run just like the Texans too.

207
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: So I'm eager to see Trevor Lawrence and see how

208
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: he looks in his second year and working with a

209
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: legitimate coach that actually puts football over party in first Yeah,

210
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. John Let's check in out

211
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the AFC South here, because tonight there's

212
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: a big game. They're all big. They're all big, seventeen

213
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: game schedule, they're all big. The Colts and the Broncos

214
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: getting together, and man oh man, just when you think

215
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: the Colts have righted the ship with the victory over

216
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City, look what happens after that. So what are

217
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: you thinking here with Indie moving forward? Wouldn't the Texans

218
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: love to play the calls without Johnson Taylor? He's not

219
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: playing in this game. He averaged two yards of carry

220
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: against the Titans before he got an ankle injury. They

221
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: did a really good job of bottling him up. And

222
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan I just heard the day he has more

223
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: turnovers than e quarterback in the NFL since two thousand

224
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: and nineteen. He's getting hit too much, sacked too much,

225
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: just like last year. Their offensive lines of mystery. Their

226
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: center Ryan Kelly and the right tackle Bradon Smiths are

227
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: not playing well, which is shocking because those guys have

228
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: been really good. So it starts up front. You know,

229
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: when they lost Jack Doyle, they said he was the

230
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: best blocking tight in league. And they don't have anybody

231
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: to take his place, so I think they're gonna lose.

232
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: This is two disappointing teams who have bad injuries at

233
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: running back, and I think the Colts are gonna lose,

234
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: and there's a good chance the Texans will be time.

235
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying a good chance. Let me take that back.

236
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: There's a chance that the Texans could be tied with

237
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: the Colts Sunday night. But that would be nice. That

238
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: would be nice. I would make the Jaguars two and three,

239
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: so you would have three teams with three losses. So

240
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: the other team in the ANFCY South, oh boy, I

241
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna end up with an L.

242
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: They're taking on the Washington Commanders and that would be

243
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans and John The Titans are doing Titan things.

244
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: They lose the first two, they lose to the Giants

245
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: at home, then they lose in week two. They're oh

246
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: and two, and then they find their way out getting

247
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: a win over the Raiders by two, and then they

248
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: beat the Colts for the fourth straight time. The Titans

249
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: are doing what the Titans do. Are they gonna continue this?

250
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna win over Washington. I should even ask that,

251
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: are they gonna beat Washington? And by how many? I

252
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna beat many teams by a lot.

253
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, their mo like it was an ending. Derek

254
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: Henry has his first one hundred yard game. Ryan Tannehill

255
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: completes like fourteen of seventeen, but he has a triple

256
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: digit rating, couple touchdown passes. That's the way they like

257
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: to play. Mike Rabel's a hell of a coach. We

258
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: saw it, you guys know it. He loses his best

259
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: pass rusher, he loses his wide receiver to Philadelphia, then

260
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: he loses his left tackle, Taylor Lewie, and they still

261
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: are the best team in the division. And I don't think,

262
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're gonna get a home field advantage.

263
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: I sure don't think so. They're not as good as

264
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: last year. Just not having a j. Brown makes them

265
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: not as good as last year. And he's tearing it

266
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: up with Philadelphia. But they should be good enough and

267
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: they have the coaching to win the division again. I'm

268
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: curious if the posts continue to fail, will Jim mur say,

269
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: after this season, pull the plug on Frank Wright and

270
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard Rock Spanner. Since eighteen he's won one playoff game.

271
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, they keep getting these quarterbacks they won, and

272
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: they continue to struggle. Next year they're probably gonna have

273
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: six starting quarterbacks and six years. I say Reich, maybe Ballard,

274
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: No way, he'll get another shot with another coach, but

275
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: they better have a planet quarterback. That'll be the directive

276
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: from Jim mur say. That is my prediction. Ladies and gentlemen, Okay,

277
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots and Lions get together. They're both one in three.

278
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Something's got to give. No Mac Jones maybe or maybe

279
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: he's playing. I'm not even sure. Billy Zappy from Victoria

280
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: is going to be available. Of course for the Patriots.

281
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: Are you surprised at what they're going through here? General? Well,

282
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy was in Houston Baptist for three years before

283
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: he transferred to Western Kentucky's with the success story and

284
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: he didn't turn it over. I mean, just think you

285
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: come off the bench, you take Aaron Rodgers to overtime

286
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field, and now you're starting. He's had a

287
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: week to think about it. You know. The Lions offense

288
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: is unbelievable, how good it is. Jared Gobbs playing great,

289
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: He's playing a whole lot better than Matthew Stafford right now.

290
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: But they're defense, My goodness, it's awful. But I just

291
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: everybody's still thinking of Patriots. I think Detroit's gonna win

292
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: this game. I don't see a third strand rookie quarterback

293
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: beating a team that has an offense scoring as many

294
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: points as the Lions do. Hey. General Tom Brady speaking

295
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: of Patriots, was that the podium today and he was

296
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: asked about I guess you could say the P word

297
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: parody a bunch of two and two teams if you

298
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: three and one teams, only one undefeated team, and he said,

299
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of bad football. That's what I'm

300
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of bad football. And I thought it

301
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: was as a strong comment bad football. I mean, I

302
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: understand that everything could be at the level that he

303
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: had it in know three and o four with the Patriots, etc.

304
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: But bad football, I don't know. I thought that was

305
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: pretty strong. What are your thoughts about it? If hey,

306
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: did you hear it and be what do you think

307
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: about his comments that's being bad football. I think there's

308
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: a lot of bad football being played. Look around the

309
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: league at all these teams that like the Texans the

310
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: only winless team, they have a chance to win four games,

311
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: that can't finish Carolinas one in twenty six when they

312
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: give up seventeen or more points that's unbelievable statistic. And

313
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: the Lions going at a record pace and they can't win,

314
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: and it's and the Patriots defense was I mean Patriots.

315
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers defense was awful against the Chiefs. So there's

316
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: a lot about bad football being played by teams. Or

317
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: if you got an offense, it's by your defense. You

318
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: got a defense by your offense, and statistically, like in

319
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: the red zone offense red zone defense, it takes us

320
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: as so much better than they've been the last two years.

321
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: You know they're shortcoming on offense, right now is third down.

322
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: You know, if they could get their third downwards been

323
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, it would be a whole

324
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: lot better. But you know, when it comes to that points,

325
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: they're not among the five worst in the league. They're

326
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: better than than some. That's why they're supe desperate to

327
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: win a game. And I thought before the season, when

328
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: I picked them to win six, I thought, boy, they're

329
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna win two over the Jaguars. That's become That's uh,

330
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: that's as normal around here as is humidity and July

331
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: and August. What is your theory on subpar play? If

332
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: that is indeed the case. We look at a lot

333
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. Baker Mayfield has been awful. Somebody said, I

334
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: tell you, as Mike Florio, next time he wants better

335
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: than himself, don't bet on the other team. And so

336
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams looking for quarterbacks. I think

337
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta has been a huge surprise. Jacksonville has been a

338
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: huge surprise. Although the Jaguars could revert back to who

339
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: they are, but there are you know, right now, Washington's terrible,

340
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: Carolina is terrible. There's going to be a lot of

341
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: teams looking for quarterbacks. By the way. Mel Kuiper said

342
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: today thinks Will Levis is going to be the first

343
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: quarterback taken. Todd McShay came out this week as being

344
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: at its top five personnel people, and they had three

345
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks from the top seven, starting with c. J. Strout,

346
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: then Bryce Young, then Will Levis third, and consensus was

347
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: Stroud was three, Young was four, and Levice was seven.

348
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: Now maybe all that'll change, but there's a lot of

349
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: teams that are biding their time hoping to be able

350
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback in this next drift. Will Levis

351
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: is not the number one quarterback in this draft. Holds

352
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: the ball too long, He made uestionable decisions, he doesn't

353
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: take care of it. He's got to take some strides

354
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: upstairs before he ends up being a number one quarterback

355
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: on anybody else's border should be c J. S John

356
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: and Bryce Young or that far ahead, but beyond them

357
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: there are some tremendous quarterbacks. Dj Unglo Life from Clemson

358
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: has played extremely well. Sam Hartman from Wake Hendon Hooker

359
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: taking an L shoe this weekend. Hendon Hooker. I don't

360
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: know if I will ever want a quarterback named Hooker,

361
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: but I'll deal with it. Hendon Hooker from Tennessee has

362
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: been lighting it up. Anthony Richardson from Florida is a

363
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: guy that everybody loves the traits and all that kind

364
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: of stuff. But Hendon Hooker has been the guy playing

365
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: at that particular level. And keep an eye on Michael Pennocks.

366
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Andre Ware has talked about him from Washington. He has

367
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: played extremely, extremely well. Quarterback Ndon Hooker reminds me of

368
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: one of the all time great lines. On Monday Night Football,

369
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: Brown's receiver fair Hooker was playing and Dodd Meredith said,

370
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: I've never met one. Speaking of the Browns, general, they

371
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: take on the Chargers in Cleveland, go San Diego Superchargers. Yes,

372
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: another LA, but I call up San Diego Superchargers. That's

373
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: what I mean, Mark, call him. The Browns are taking

374
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: a Chargers. LA's favored by three. Can they get us one? Yes,

375
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 1: their favored Justin Herbert's throwing the ball around. Now the

376
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: Texans didn't touch him. Makes up one time when he

377
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: slid and they got a shared sack. But the Browns

378
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: defense has been a disappointment. That's what's so shocking. Jacobe

379
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: Brazzad's played as well as he can play the running

380
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: game was. Nick Chubb is tremendous, but the defense is

381
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: down now. Miles Garrett, I'm assuming he's going to be

382
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: out again after that wreck. They're just not playing anywhere

383
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: near what people thought. They are loaded with talent. You

384
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: see him on our you see him. They're not practicing

385
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: it just don't have it together. Now. If they put

386
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: it together in this game, they can win. But I

387
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: would think the Chargers would be really really encouraged by

388
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: the performance of Austin Eckler against the Texans because he

389
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: had done squat then he gained NRG Stadium and looked

390
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: like the Cobo running back. He's been general more surprising

391
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: the one and three Raiders with a healthy Derek Carr

392
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: or the three and one Cowboys with no Dak and

393
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush stirring things up. Who's more surprising, Mark, without

394
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: a doubt, the Cowboys with Cooper Rush. It amazes me

395
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: all these people to keep talking about he's making himself

396
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: some money, and I'm thinking nobody's gonna go out and

397
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: give him twenty five thirty million a year. He's in

398
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Garoppolo Gordy back to the season once everybody

399
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: else has their quarterback. Then they'll get it. They'll get

400
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: a job. But he's done a tremendous job killing more

401
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: of the coordinator is calling plays to take advantage of

402
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: his strengths, try to minimize his weaknesses. If they beat

403
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: the Rams people, he'll be five and zero as a starter.

404
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a turnover thank all the quarterbacks Matthew

405
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Stafford I think is like four touchdowns, seven turnovers, and

406
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: he's been sacked the most or next most in the NFL.

407
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: And here's old Cooper Rush making every right throw. It's uh,

408
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm as a. I'm happy for Cooper Rush.

409
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't have anything against the Cowboys. It's just their

410
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: fans are starting to fill their oats again and that's

411
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: never good. General Texas, OU, there's no bailer this weekend.

412
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta well deserved by Texas. OU Southwest

413
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: Conference ties in your cheering for Texas or do you

414
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: want to see OU hammer Texas because you just hate

415
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: the long Orange? Do they play this weekend? They do

416
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: play this weekend. A that is the least interest in

417
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: Texas and OU. I can remember you asked me what

418
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: I think about that game? I go. Yeah. But if

419
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: I had to pick the game that is the only

420
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Big ELD game that doesn't involve a ranked team, I

421
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: would pick the Longhorns. But give me the Jayhawks and

422
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: the horn Frogs over the Sooners and the Long Orangs

423
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: any day a week. I can't wait to see Game

424
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: day on ESPN coming from Lawrence for the first time.

425
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: That is an incredible story. I can't wait to see

426
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: the fans and I pumped up they are and what

427
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: great great stories. And the Kansas NTCU have been as

428
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: far as Long Orangs, and so you know, I'm for

429
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: the Long Orangs because I'm a Texan. Oh boy, wow,

430
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: that's nice. Baylor off this weekend, right general, if you're

431
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: given a World Series prediction yet Baylor was off Saturday

432
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma State too well, considering managers, man can win

433
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars. If the Astros was the World Series,

434
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm going with Astros because of pitching. I read today.

435
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: MLB had all these rankings about different things of the

436
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: playoff teams. Astros at number one pitching, which we knew

437
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: was scary. Their lineup with seventh because you know, you

438
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: get past for top five. They came hit and and

439
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: I would people says, rather to see him play the Mariners,

440
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. The Mariners, they beat the heck out

441
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: of the Mariners. Blue Jays the only playoff team to

442
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: beat to win the series against the Astros. I don't

443
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: want to see George Springer coming in there and banging

444
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: the ball around in the main parks. So give me

445
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: the Mariners and them give me the Astros beat. I'd

446
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: like to see him get revenge on the Braves, but man,

447
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to see him beat the Dodgers. So none

448
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: of those white wyan sipping, cry baby whining fans can

449
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: claim they got lost because they achieved it. Okay, good,

450
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: good comments there, Thank you general. We'll see how it goes. Hey,

451
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: the Astros probably they definitely don't want to see Oakland

452
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: right based on some of the struggles add earlier this

453
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: season with them, I know they're not in it. Don't

454
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: work out O the well against Houston. What's that? By

455
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: the way, I wrote a column today that's on Gallery

456
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: sports dot com about Nick Saban when he came to

457
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: Houston in eighty nine, eighty eight, and he got the

458

00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: don't hear it. Okay, no music, no pump, no nothing.

483
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: It was a really quick comeback. So that's why Johnny

484
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of threw me off a little bit. But here

485
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: we go. Are you ready for Who's Better? Oh? Of

486
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: course I am. Come on, Okay, maybe Chris can fire

487
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: up the NFL films. Is it there? It's in the background.

488
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: It sounds like for a second, I thought it was Jaws.

489
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, it's Jaws. No, it's NFL films music. Okay,

490
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: let's do it. Who's better? Better day on Sunday in Jacksonville?

491
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: Johnny pick one? This is a prediction. Who's better, Nico

492
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: or a tight end of your choice. Who's gonna have

493
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: a better day on Sunday for the Houston Texans? And

494
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: I know there's blocking involved in the running game, and

495
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: you're great out that way. I'm talking about catches. I'm

496
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: talking about production that we can see and smell and

497
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: feel and here, well, I think the Jaguars cover guys

498
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: are actually they're actually pretty good. I mean Shaquille Griffin

499
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: on one side, I mean Nicko Sarrio was very quick

500
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: to point out Tyson Campbell. I don't Tyson was good

501
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: last year, but he's pointing out how much he's improved.

502
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: So I know that Tyson Cambell's gonna be pretty good

503
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: and Campbell's gonna be a good matchup against Nico. Both

504
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: of them are actually they both are, you know, six

505
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: ninety five. I like Campbell's like six two, maybe the

506
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: sixty three. So they're gonna be good matchups for Nico.

507
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit more of a struggle

508
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: for them matching up with tight ends because if they

509
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: got to bring Jenkins into coverage, or they gotta bring

510
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Cisco into coverage, that's not gonna be good for them.

511
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't Cisco can run, but he's very undisciplined. That's

512
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: what I just remember from his days at Syracuse. He

513
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: had to pick the other day just being in the

514
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: right spot catching a tip pass and then he took

515
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: it to the house. Now, he's a hitter and he

516
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: likes to get involved in run game. So that's why

517
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: I think the tight Ends might be the play because

518
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: if those guys are getting involved in run game, then

519
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: play action can end up being a big thing to

520
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: the tight Ends. So I'm gonna go with I'm gonna

521
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: go with to tight Ends. And I gotta say, Mark,

522
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I know the news of Farrell Brown being released was

523
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: probably a little bit of like whoa like kind of

524
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: a you know, doghead turn, I guess, but what we

525
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: saw in training camp just wasn't translating to the field.

526
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: It just was not for whatever reason. And Jordan Nakins

527
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: went on the field, it was productive. Oj Howard went

528
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: on the fiel, it was productive. And those guys I

529
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: would imagine they are going to be productive again and

530
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: we'll see how they put it together if revend. Jordan's

531
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: still hurt, he's been on the injury report for the

532
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, the last couple of days. So

533
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: I still think it's the tight ends. I think Aikin's

534
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: and he had a big catch last year in the

535
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: win in December in the rain in Jacksonville. So the

536
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: hope is to me that the tight Ends do it

537
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: and have a big day. The Nico is a good day.

538
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: But I just think it's the tight ends given the

539
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: matchup of what they're going against. Okay, good, So that

540
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: was a Nico or tight end question. Here's another one,

541
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: who's better better rebuild? The Jags or the Jets. So

542
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: far through four games they're both two and two. Who's

543
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: looking better to you? Better rebuild? They're they're so similar

544
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of scary. And obviously quarterbacks they got

545
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Defensive front is really good. I

546
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: think on both sides. Now we'll see if the Jets

547
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: can and you to anger Quinnon Williams and he eventually

548
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: wants out. But that's a pretty We saw it last year.

549
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: I remember during a break in the game, I was

550
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: talking to you and Andre saying, you know what, this

551
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: Jets defensive front is pretty good. I think the offensive

552
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: line is actually better. It's more complete in Jacksonville, and

553
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: that's changing some things. But they got Breeze Hall in

554
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: New York. Now now they've got James Robinson over in Jacksonville.

555
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks are growing a little bit. I think Trevor

556
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: is further ahead, but they're really really close. I think

557
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: what the Jets have with Sauce Gardner and they're trying

558
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: to get with Tyson Campbell. I feel like if if

559
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener right now is an A plus, I feel

560
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: like Tyson Campbell is probably an A minus, like he's

561
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: on the way to being that guy. I feel like

562
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: I like the Jets talent a little bit more, but

563
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: I feel like the Jaguars defensive front overall is better,

564
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: and I feel like the linebackers are younger, more aggressive,

565
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: and make more plays than the Jets linebackers. So I'm

566
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: a little bit torm but I'm gonna go at Joe

567
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Douglas and the Jets on this one. I feel like

568
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: he's put a lot of pieces together and now Zach

569
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: can play pick up his play that I think it

570
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: would be the Jets a little bit further ahead, But

571
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: both of them are really on the same trajectory, to

572
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 1: be honest, and the quarterback play will just take them

573
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: to a different level if they can get what they

574
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: drafted at one and two in twenty twenty one. Who's better? Continuing,

575
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: who's better better college quarterback? Bryce Young or CJ. Stroud?

576
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna say, better pro prospect? Better

577
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: pro prospect because college quarterback is another category. Bryce Young

578
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: or CJ. Stroud And I'll allow you to insert a

579
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: wildcard entry here if you like. No, it's those two.

580
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: Those those are the two. Look I said, Will Levis

581
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna be be the top quarterback. He's not gonna be

582
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: the top quarterback on my board. He's gonna be the

583
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: top quarterback for some people. And I love There's a

584
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: lot to really really like about Will Levis. I love

585
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: his competitiveness, I love his arm strength and tal Late

586
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: last week, three times three times I answer, and I

587
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: think about this question this way. You're think of the

588
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: last four games, right, I think of the last four games.

589
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: If you had that situation and you've got to pick

590
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: any quarterback in college football to go into that situation

591
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: and you're gonna come out of there with the most wins,

592
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: it's Bryce hung And I don't want to short change CJ.

593
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: Strout just because he's never done that. And that's one

594
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: of the things in the draft. Just because the guy

595
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: wasn't asked to do it doesn't mean he can't do it.

596
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: I think CJ. Strout is wonderful and that's why. And

597
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: I say this a lot. I felt like last year,

598
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener and Derek Stingley as soon as you say

599
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: pick one and I say Stingley, Oh you don't like Sauce.

600
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: No, no no, no, it's not that. It's to me, sting

601
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: was just a shade ahead of Sauce because of some

602
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: of the things that I wanted to see in corners.

603
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: And I think Bryce is a shade ahead of CJ.

604
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: Because I want the ball in Bryce's hands at the

605
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: end of the game. So I want to say Bryce

606
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: Young in that one. But I feel like they're you know,

607
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: as I'm just looking at this list of quarterbacks for

608
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Now, obviously you don't know whether all

609
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: of them are going to declare, but I feel like

610
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: even even if you don't get one in the first

611
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: round for whatever reason, and I'm not just talking to Texas,

612
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking any team, you could go get one in

613
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: the second round. That guy could end up being a

614
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: really good player. You know. I got like any Dalton

615
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: won the second round. Colin Kaepernick went in the second round,

616
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: Derek Carr went in the second round. You can find

617
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback in the second round. It could

618
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: be a pro bowler get you to the playoffs. And

619
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: I feel like this class has got guys of that

620
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: caliber that you can find a quarterback in the second

621
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: round that you're gonna that some team's gonna go, whoa,

622
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: we got this guy in the second round. Holy smokes.

623
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be a whale of a player and

624
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: you have you don't have to put a first round

625
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: pick on him. So that's the depth of this draft.

626
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: And by the way, just because you made me think

627
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: of Bryce Young? Am I irrationally weird? Because tomorrow Night

628
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: Modern Day is taken Saint John Bosco in LA. It's

629
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: the two best teams in high school football and they're

630
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: taking on one another out in California, And I am,

631
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: I'm pumped, even though I can't see the game. Am

632
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: I irrationally weird? Because Bryce Young's alma mater is taken

633
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: on DJ alma mater in a game in California? And

634
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm and I want to see it and it'll be

635
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: like fifteen thousand people and they're turning people away. It's

636
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: already sold out. I'm I'm weird? Am I not? Uh? Well,

637
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: you're you, Johnny, and this is what you do and

638
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: this is what you love. So that's fine. But I'm

639
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: now curious, you know, I mean, you just sort of

640
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: invited me into this mayhem. And I'm thinking this thing's

641
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: gotta be streamed somewhere. I mean, it's on Ballet Sports. Yeah,

642
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be on Vallet Sports, and I don't know

643
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: if it's local, but I think it's gonna be national.

644
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna take put it on all the

645
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: ballets throughout the country. I believe so well. Some of

646
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: the bal Valley locally often does Texas stuff on a

647
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: Friday night, So we'll see how that goes. And maybe

648
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: they do a tape delay or something, or maybe you

649
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: can stream it somehow. They should make it available to stream.

650
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: And looks we're talking about all this, and I know

651
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: this is not coming from you, but a lot of

652
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: people playing this game, like, what would another quarterback have

653
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: done in the first four Texans games. You know, somebody

654
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: else might have thrown you know, seven picks. I don't know,

655
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: they might have done worse or you know, at the

656
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: end of the game is one thing. But they got

657
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: to that point and they just need to get over

658
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: that point. So let's see if he can do it.

659
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: You got Sunday against Jacksonville, and we're all gonna be

660
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: there for it. If not, there will be here listening

661
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: or watching. All right, Johnny, We're gonna continue with who's

662
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: better better unnecessary stadium feature? The pool in Jacksonville pools

663
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say because they have two, or the pirate

664
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: ship in Tampa better unnecessary stadium feature. The pirate ship

665
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: will never not be necessary. The pirate ship goes with

666
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. The pirate ship is absolutely awesome, absolutely awesome.

667
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: The pools can get bet yeah, don't need the pools

668
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: get lost, like, forget, forget the pools. I mean, look,

669
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: I know what they're trying to do. I get it.

670
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 1: But I look up there during a game and they're

671
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: like eight kids floating around and just but no, you.

672
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: I mean, as I said on Twitter, you can't pay

673
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: me to get in that water after what's been in there.

674
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: So no, but the pirate ship. If I could go

675
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: up in the pirate ship the next time we go

676
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: to Tampa, oh, sign me up for that. Okay, I'm

677
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. You're gonna get a little jelly

678
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: because Granada went into the pirate ship once when he

679
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: was doing sideline for us, and that means you have

680
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: to go into the pool. Okay, just kidding about that.

681
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: But he went in the pirate ship. I'm still here

682
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: at that. I'm not going in that pool. I refuse

683
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: to go in that pool. Okay, all right, since we're

684
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: going to Jacksonville, here's a quickie. We're playing who's better

685
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: better beach, Jacksonville Beaches or Outer Banks, North Carolina better beach.

686
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: I always felt like Jacksonville Beaches where they were fantastic.

687
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta say Jacksonville Beaches. Those I always

688
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: loved going out there. I mean, if Page and I

689
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: would wake up on a weekend and we didn't have

690
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: the kids or dogs or anything at that point, we

691
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: love each other, Like, what do you want to do.

692
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: Let's go out to the beach. And we'd drive twenty

693
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: five minutes out to A one A and we'd park

694
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: at the gate gas station that was out there, and

695
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: we'd cross A one A and we were out on

696
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: a beach. And we'd stay out there for hours, hours,

697
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: and I would tell her about all my dreams in football,

698
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: about eventually being the sideline reporter for the Houston team

699
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: that unfortunately didn't exist at the time, all that kind

700
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: of stuff. But we would just sit the beach. We'd

701
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: walk up and down and all the forget we were

702
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: we were supposed to induce Page was supposed to be

703
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: induced with Jack, my son Jack on a Thursday, and

704
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: they said no, there's not enough room at the end. Basically,

705
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: so we were supposed to have Jack that weekend, and

706
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: so we just spent the week We kept every day,

707
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: we just went out to the beach and walked and

708
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: walked and walked and thought, well, maybe she keeps walking,

709
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: maybe Jack will emerge. And it didn't happen, but we

710
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 1: spent the whole weekend at the beach. I'll never forget

711
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: just waiting for Jack to be born. He was just

712
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: too stubborn. But yeah, the Jack Jacksonville Beaches to me

713
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: will always always take the cake. Boy. When you said

714
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: no room at the Yenna, I thought, maybe you're gonna

715
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: try to find a major or something. Okay, that's who's better.

716
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: Next up the injury report, what does it all mean?

717

737
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Grenard, Brevin Jordan, and Chris Moore. We'll see what

738
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: Grenard ends up being tomorrow when they have to designate

739
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:44,760

740
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: with Kurt Heinis who was out yesterday with an illness.

741
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: That's good news to have Kurt around and Derek Stingley

742
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: Junior the best news really as the elbow shoulder injury

743
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: did not keep him from being a full participant today.

744
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on the health situation for this team going

745
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: into Sunday. I mean, it's frustrating to see Brevin Jordan

746
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: having to deal with that ankle, and hopefully Staying is

747
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play, and I don't I mean, look,

748
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: we just played Doctors on the radio. I mean we

749
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: didn't share the holiday and last night, so you know

750
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: it's Staying. I hope he's I hope he's able to

751
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: play and just kind of have a showcase. And you

752
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: know it's one of those games you go against Trevor

753
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Lawrence as an opportunity for you to come up with

754
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: your first pick of the year, do those kind of things.

755
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: So hopefully the Stings go play. But you know, it's

756
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: good seeing Malique get out there as a full participant.

757
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, John John Grenard, I would obviously we had

758
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: him on the radio last night he was fantastic, and

759
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: I hope he's gonna be ready to go. But hopefully

760
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: my spidy senses say that maybe Mario Addison might have

761
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get on the field, and that would

762
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: be really really nice to have the veteran presence, I

763
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: mean in training camp. And here's what I've learned about

764
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two training camp. There's some guys in that

765
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two training camp that performed lights out, but

766
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: we haven't seen that perform lights out on the field.

767
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: On the other hand, there have been some guys that

768
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: weren't even in training camp that have been performing lights

769
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: out on the field. Guy like Jordan Nakins o j Howard.

770
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: Those guys have been really really good on the field,

771
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: So hopefully they can put it all together. But I

772
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: don't think at this point of the year, mark I

773
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: don't know that I look at it and go, oh boy,

774
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: it's really really bad. I think it's about where it

775
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: probably should be. I think the one to watch is

776
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: Fatsu Kassi. On the other side, he's been out the

777
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: first two days. I don't My guess is they'll label

778
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: him as questionable. But Fatsu Kasi has been figuratively and literally.

779
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: He's big for them. Massive, He's the guy that controls

780
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: it all in the middle, next Doory Robertson, Harrison Von

781
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: Hamilton's so he is massive. That's the one I've had

782
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: my eyes on. If he's not playing, then that just

783
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: takes away a little bit more of that wall they've

784
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: built on the front with rebel Walker and Josh Allen

785
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: on the edge and Robertson, Harris, Fatsu Kasi, and Hamilton

786
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: on the inside. So if Fatsu Kasi's out of there, boy,

787
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans are gonna te anyways. I mean,

788
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: it's just that's I think their identity offensively. But if

789
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: he's not in there, that's a big one man. They

790
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: have redone that front. I'm seeing some guys who used

791
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: to kind of start for them, like maybe spots start

792
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: on occasion as reserves right now because the other guys

793
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: have moved to the head of the class. And you know,

794
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: Walker's obviously a rookie. Devin Lloyd is a guy you've

795
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: been talking about, and I watched tape. You know how

796
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: we can do this in the cafe sometimes and they're

797
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: showing the all twenty two. It just runs constantly on

798
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: a loop, and I just stop and I watch for

799
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and I'm looking at the Jags, and

800
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: they showed a bunch of Jags against Chargers, and obviously

801
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: they won that game handily. And you're looking at this

802
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: defensive front and you're thinking, oh boy, they look good.

803
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: So here we go. I think that's probably gonna be

804
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: one of your keys. How the front of the Texans

805
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: offensively deals with whatever they're being, you know, dealt with

806
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: along the along the line there. Because this defensive front

807
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: of the Jags looks tough. Yeah, it really does. Mark.

808
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this really simple as far as this

809
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: key man. You said it the other day, we're talking

810
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: on air and off there. Third down conversions an little

811
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: math fourteen and fifty two. That's twenty six percent. Yeah.

812
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: So I went and I looked. I found all the

813
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: third down percentages for the whole team. And this is

814
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: where my math teacher came in. I took the median

815
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: basically the number in the middle, so not quite the average.

816
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: I didn't want to average them all, but I just

817
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: took the two in the middle. Took the median as

818
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent or thirty eight and a half percent

819
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: sorry third down conversion across the league. So if the

820
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: Texans were at that average, that would have resulted in

821
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: six more third down conversions over four games. So that

822
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: means every game would have had an extra third down conversion.

823
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: In two games you would have had another one on

824
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: top of that. Imagine what you could have had with

825
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: two third down conversions against the Colts or two third

826
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: down conversions against the Bears. You just pick up two

827
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: of the third ones. Just pick up two of them.

828
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, huge, huge, and you never know what's spot

829
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: therein but it continues to drive. Could be a clutch situation,

830
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: could be a situation that leads to a score, and

831
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: then you don't need the clutch situation later on. So yeah,

832
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: you're right. This has been a real bugaboo. Fourteen to

833
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: fifty two on the season and third dayn conversions. That

834
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: has to improve starting Sunday at noon. Thank you, Johnny.

835
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,400
