Speaker 1: Let's going on. Everybody. Welcome to a Friday edition of

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Texas All Access from the Hooday Texans Radio studio. I'm

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,080

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: got Nashville on Sunday. Kickoff is at noon. I realized

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: today that Nashville is on Central Time, or at least

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: that's what my clock told me, my phone told me,

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: and I just it's amazing. We're all sort of like

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: anchorman with our phones. Like whatever the phone says, that's

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: what it says. If it tells me it's seven thirty

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: at night, seven thirty at night, If it tells me

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: in the the Nashville at Central time, Nashville's on Central Time.

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: So kickoff will be at noon. If you're in Nashville,

14
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: kickoff will be at noon. If you're here at home

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: watching on television and hopefully listening to me, Mark and

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Andre on Sunday. All right, what do we got tonight? Well,

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: we got a little Titus Howard who did a little

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Drew's Dozen and then he did a little Drew's Final Word,

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: which is essentially saying he talked a little bit of football,

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: and then he talked no football. That's kind of what

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: it's saying with those two. Drews doesn't know football. Drew's

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: final word all about ball. So we got that. We

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: also have got dpe cit who's gonna stop by for

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: a deep Slant interview of the week, and that is

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: with the Woodland's own Danny A. Mandola. That's gonna be

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: a fun interview. I can't wait. The first time I

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: think Danny's done. I think I think Danny did an

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: interview with Drew did a Drews doesn't with Drew, but

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I think it's the first time you got the deep

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: slant treatment. So dep is going to sit down with

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: Danny A. Mendola, gonna have my keys to the game

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans, and boy, there are some news.

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: There are some definite news about the Titans. We're gonna

34
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: get that in just a little bit and then I'm

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna give you my predictions straight up against spread. I

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: bring them to you every single week, sponsored by Caesar's

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Rewards for every way you play man. We've got a

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: lot on the show. So let's kick it off like

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: we always do on Friday, and that is with the

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: head coach of your Houston Texans, David Culley, who sat

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: with Mark Vanimir to chat about this one on Sunday

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: against the eight in two AFC leading Tennessee Titans coach

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: with rain and the forecast throughout the week and who

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: knows what it will be like when the ball is kicked.

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Does being in the Buffalo game and those kind of

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: conditions does that help you when you face possible inclement weather.

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: When you mentioned rain in the forecast, the first thing

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: went through my mind was Buffalo. We we We've been

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: through that a little bit. Right. Of course, it did

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: rain and then it quit raining, but it was wet.

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: But it does help. And having been in those conditions

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: and at that time going to Nashville and playing in

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: that in Buffalo, at the time we were there, the

54
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: temperature was pretty good, right, you know. And basically right

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: now things have gotten a little cooler in Nashville with

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: the rain and whatnot, but you expect that going down

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: there this time of year. But having been there and

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: played in that, it is a help for us Tennessee.

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about Derek Henry, but they still want to

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: run the ball coach, it seems, and everything they do

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: sort of works off of that. Do we have that right?

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: You got it exactly right. Instead of using that one

63
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: guy to run the ball, they're using two or three

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: guys to run the ball, and they're doing the same

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: things that they're done before. They didn't change their offense.

66
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: It's just that when you're on the other side of

67
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: the defense, you know that that number twenty two is

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: a pretty good chance he's going to touch that football.

69
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: And when he does touch it, you know he's a

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: tough to handle. But they're still doing the same things. Mark,

71
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: they are who they are. They're not going to change it.

72
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: They have not been as effective the last couple of

73
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: games running the ball as they have with him, but

74
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: it's still who they are, It's what they are, and

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: they're still gonna do it. And we know the first

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: thing we got to do is be able to stop

77
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: to run and not get them up a big play.

78
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Tannehill moves around very well, right, He's hard to get to.

79
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: He is a very mobile quarterback. Well, people forget about him.

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: Mark is that guy was a receiver at one time.

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: He's very athletic. He's as mobile as any quarterback that

82
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: we've played. I think He's got five Russing touchdowns right

83
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: now this year. They do have some called runs for

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: him also, especially in short yardist type situations. You know,

85
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that we got to stay

86
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: in our lanes. We got to make sure we keep

87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: him in the pocket and and make sure he throws

88
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: that ball instead of run in the thing. What are

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: you expecting from your offense after the week off and

90
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: more practice time for Tyrod coming back from missing so

91
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: much time prior to the Miami game. Well, just the

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: execution part of it, Mark, you know, we didn't get

93
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: that in Miami. We didn't get the execution from him

94
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: or from our offense during that time. And now that

95
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: he's had now we're going into like the third week

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: of him actually been back in practicing. Well, I'm hoping

97
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: that he's doing the things that he did prior to

98
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: the injury and get us the consistency that we need

99
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: in our offense and be able to run the ball

100
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: and do the things that we need to do in

101
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: the passing game. And this week of practice we've kind

102
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: of felt like that we're back on track for that.

103
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: What about special teams against this crew? I'll tell you

104
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: what this is a crew here that has in special teams.

105
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: Why you gotta keep your antenna up. These guys have

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: in the last two years, I think they've run four fakes.

107
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: They've been successful with those kind of things. We saw

108
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: one two weeks ago that they did on a fourth

109
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: down where they got a big first down on This

110
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: is a this is a special teams unit that is very,

111
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: very solid. They're very good at what they do. We

112
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: got our hands full with them. They do some element

113
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: of surprise things on offense too. And you mentioned special

114
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: teams stuff like that. How hard is that to get

115
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: ready for? Well, you, basically the film study is so

116
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: important there. You know that there are certain situations that

117
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: you see them do these things, and so there's a

118
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: high alert for in a particular situation during the ballgame

119
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: that you've seen these guys right here, because of the

120
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: down and distance, because of where you are on the field,

121
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: that you got to be alert for something some kind

122
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: of gadget or something happening that is unusual. And they've

123
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: done a good job of doing that. All right, So

124
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: going back to Tennessee for you, Nashville not too far

125
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: away from Sparta, What is that like for you or

126
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: is it just purely a business trip. It is purely

127
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: a business trip, although I will have some family members

128
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: down there that I'll see after the game. But it

129
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: is truly we basically when we travel, Mark, you know,

130
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: you travel with us. We go, we get there, we

131
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: do our meetings, we eat, we get up in the

132
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: next morning, and we go when we go play and

133
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: then we go home, you know, and basically it is

134
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: truly a business trip. Coach takes a lot. Good luck,

135
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: You're welcome, Thank you very much. Mark. Of course, that's

136
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: the first thing that I checked pretty much every single week.

137
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: When I checked at the beginning of the week the weather,

138
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: it looked like it was actually gonna be cloudy, it

139
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: was gonna be okay. And then as the week wore on,

140
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, we are about to get pounded with rain.

141
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: And the four hours about from kickoff to you know,

142
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: the game doesn't really take four hours. Sometimes it does,

143
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: it goes over time, but most games are not gonna

144
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: get to four hours unless it's college. But either way,

145
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: that four hour period from noon to four is like

146
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: ninety three percent rain almost the entire time. Now, I'm

147
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: hoping that forecast changes, but I don't think it is

148
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: going to. I don't think it's going to so all right,

149
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I gotta live. We did it in Buffalo,

150
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: we dealt with it, and we moved on. Not as

151
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: successful in Buffalo. Hopefully we will be more successful against

152
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee in Nashville in Zrain because the rain is coming again.

153
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully that thing will hit before the game starts. But

154
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: either way, grass Field gonna get showed up a little bit.

155
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Could be a mud game, always like mud. I'm okay

156
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: with it. I mean, I loved playing and I love

157
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: playing in rain games. I hated coaching in rain games.

158
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: I hated being down in the sidelines in rain games.

159
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo this year was actually trying to think I was

160
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: about the worst one. Miami. We got hit with a storm.

161
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: But either way, those are first world sideline reporter problems.

162
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: So hopefully it's gonna end up being okay fingers across.

163
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: But it doesn't look good at this point, so we

164
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: all might be mutters on Sunday. Now some of us

165
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: may not even be at the game. And here's what

166
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean. Let's get to the injury status report because

167
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: this one is long. Not for your Texans though, and

168
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: that's actually halfway decent sign for the Texans. Out Hardy Nickerson,

169
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: that's it. Questionable, Caravan LeBlanc who came now with illness,

170
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: he is questionable. Also, Jonathan Cravan did not practice today.

171
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Grennard was questionable, And I thought I remember seeing

172
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: that practice Friday. They're doing a little different deal. So

173
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: you see kind of the specialists and in the perimeter

174
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: players out. They stretched do everything first, they kind of

175
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: go through some stuff and then the hog mollies come out.

176
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: The big guys come out and they do their thing,

177
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: and I thought I saw him there, but either way limited,

178
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: John Grenard questionable. Gotta have him, I mean got to

179
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: have him this weekend with how well he has played.

180
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: And full participant Pharrell Brown, so that's good. There's no

181
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: status on him, so that means he is in. Oh,

182
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good to see eight five back for

183
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: your Texans. Now for the Titans one two, three, four, five,

184
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: six seven. Seven players are out of this one, including

185
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: starting right guard Nate Davis dealing with a concussion, starting

186
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Bud Dupree with an abdomen, Rashaun Evans starting

187
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: linebacker all the last week. It was Monty Rice. So

188
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: not the not the worst loss. I guess I've kind

189
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: of been reading the tea leaves. I haven't been real

190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: happy with Evans this year anyway. So you got Monty

191
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: Rice David Long. Now, one of the reasons that you

192
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: didn't have two big problem with Evans being out is

193
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: you knew you'd go with David Long. So that means

194
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: that the two linebackers are gonna have are Jayon Brown

195
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: and Monty Rice. Brown's played a lot, Rice's rookie, and

196
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: the backup to them is Dylan Cole, Greg Mabin Corner out,

197
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Jeremy McNichols one of the three headed Monster running back

198
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: concussion out, and one of the key tight ends not

199
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Firkser, but Jeff Swaim is also out. Davis Dupree,

200
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: David Long, Greg Mayben, Jeremy Nichols, Jeff Swaim all out.

201
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: One questionable and that's Jack Rabbit Jenkins aka G Norris Jenkins.

202
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: He is questionable. He's been dealing with chess and he

203
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: practiced fully and then on Wednesday and then all of

204
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: a sudden, by Thursday he had a chess issue and

205
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: Friday at chess issue as well. So he's been out

206
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: the last two days. That typically is not a great

207
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: trend where Wednesday you're not on the injury report at all,

208
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: and then Thursday and Friday you're not there or you're

209
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: there in the DNP category. But he's still questionable now

210
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: limited participants. Chris Jackson's back, Harold Landry, Jeffrey Simmons, Tier

211
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: tart all four key players on a defense that's been

212
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: really chewing teams up because of the turnovers they've been

213
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: able to create. Jeffrey Simmons and Harold Landry in particular,

214
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: but teyor Tart is veron Riddy. They were limited in practice,

215
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: but they are in full participants. Also, Aaron Brewer of

216
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: its linement, Tory Carter fullback, and Kyle Peco dealing with ankle.

217
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: They're back and they're good to go. So Hardy Knickerson

218
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: for the Texans out, Nate Davis, Bud Dupree, Rashaan Evans,

219
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: David Long, Greg Mabon, Jeremy Nichols, Jeff Swam. Seven players out,

220
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: So I guess at that point, whoever the Titans have

221
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: on the ross left, they're all in. I don't even

222
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: know they want to have to file a inactive report.

223
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: I think this is everybody, I think, And we'll see

224
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: what happens with Jack Rabbit Jenkins. Now, you obviously can

225
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: go with less if you want, but we'll see what

226
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: the Titans are able to do keep any transactions that

227
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: they'll have on Saturday. They obviously are without Julio Jones

228
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry already due to being an IR, so

229
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: the Titans a little bit shorthanded. Now. AJ Brown is

230
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: one to watch two. I think he's gonna be okay.

231
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Today he did not participate, says Ni R. Not injury

232
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: related rest and if you file that story with AJ.

233
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: Last week he had a press conference. He talked about

234
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: some of the things that he had been dealing with

235
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: from a mental health perspective, and he was very very open,

236
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: and I was glad he was. And I think that's

237
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the NFL's challenge over the next year or

238
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: two is how do they adequately deal with mental health

239
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: issues for players and deal with it appropriately. And I

240
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: think A J. Brown, Calvin Ridley two receivers to well

241
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: known receivers in this league, and there are probably tons

242
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: of others that maybe are scared to come forward or

243
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: just don't know how to handle it. So hopefully the

244
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: NFL will handle these issues, the teams will handle these

245
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: issues and handle them appropriately. Mike Vrabel talked about A. J.

246
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: Brown today at his press conference, and I just kind

247
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: of sat there and I kind of pumped my fists,

248
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: like it's good to cease a head coach, a key

249
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: figure of an NFL organization, get it and really get it,

250
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: because that's what That's what players need that are dealing

251
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: with mental health issues. This is what they absolutely, without

252
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: question needs. So that was good stuff from Mike Vrabel.

253
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: So injury report is long, and we'll see how that

254
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: plays out on Sunday again. The inactive list for the Titans,

255
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: I may have just read it from all the players

256
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: that are out. We'll keep an eye jack Rabbit Jenkins

257
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: starting corner and see whether he is able to go.

258
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: If not, it'll be Christian Fulton at one corner, Chris

259
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: Jackson presumably at one of the other corners, and we'll

260
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: keep an eye hot on what they're gonna do when

261
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: they get into Nickel and even Dime how they're going

262
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: to handle that. But a little bit thin at certain

263
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: positions because of the guys that are already on IR

264
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: and the guys that are listed as out for this

265
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: one for the eight in two Titans. Okay, we've got

266
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: to talk to Dany Amadola, a DPC had an opportunity

267
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: to do that. We'll have that for you next right

268
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: here at Texans All Accent. Welcome back this Friday edition

00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: I am John Harris Football, you know, a sideline reporter

271
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: and a former teacher. And as a former teacher, I

272
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: loved bringing football to my classroom. I love doing it

273
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: if there's a way I could do it with so

274
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: much math, I didn't really teach like analytics and stuff

275
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: like that, but I brought some different things to both

276
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: my algebra, calculus, geometry, and physics classrooms. And I know

277
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: you can do it too. So I'm calling all of

278
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: you U scenario teachers out there. You want to bring

279
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: a little Texas football to your classrooms and then sign

280
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: up part Toros Matros presented by Conico Phillips. Toros Matros

281
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: is a video series designed to help third and fourth

282
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: graders learn how to tackle math in the classroom. Go

Speaker 1: Bring those Matros into your classroom, telling you drill them.

285
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you if you got kids in third and

286
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: fourth grade, and I'm trying to remember what exactly you'd

287
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: learned in third and fourth grade, but I guarantee you

288
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: that there will be some kids that may not be

289
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: able to count to seven, but if you tell them

290
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: how scoring goes in a football game, they would be

291
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: able to do it. They would figure it out. I'm

292
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: sure that's gonna be part of Toros Matros. Supporting Conico Phillips.

293
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: You're supporting Toro, and Toro's the best, right twenty twenty

294
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: one mascot of the Year, He's the best, So hook

295
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: it up. Toros Matros presented by kind of Phillips. Now,

296
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: these next two individuals I think would make great teachers

297
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: whenever they are done with their quote unquote playing careers.

298
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: Danny Amndola on the field DP City in her radio career.

299
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: That's like equal parts of the field and off the field.

300
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: They would both be great teachers. Danny's dad was a

301
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: coach out on the Woodlands and fact coached him in

302
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: high school. Want to Stay Championship out with the Woodlands

303
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: and dp could be an excellent teacher, an unbelievable teacher.

304
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: I think she would be great, So they would all

305
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: use tours Matros. But not here because it's time for

306
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: our Deep Slant Interview of the week, dpad chance to

307
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: catch up with Danny and talk about any number of topics.

308
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: So depe take it away. It's the Deep Slit one

309
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: one present of by exfiniting my guest, thirteen year VET

310
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver Danny A. Mendola. Great to have you. Danny

311
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: pretty much hit the ground running when you signed here

312
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: with the Texans. So now that you had some time

313
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: under your belt, how has the transition been for you

314
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: so far? It's been great. You know, I've known a

315
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of guys in this organization and have a huge

316
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: respect for, you know, the people in this building. So

317
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: it was great to come in and get started and

318
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: get rolling. Very thankful, very you know, very happy to

319
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: be here. So um, you know, it's it's been a

320
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: really good, really smooth transition. I'm from Texas, I'm from Houston,

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: got a lot of friends here, so it's been great

322
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: to be in the hometown and playing ball. Had you

323
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: been coming back to Houston frequently? Yeah? My dad still

324
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: lives here. I have a lot of friends. Um, I

325
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: live in Austin, a couple hours away, So I'm here

326
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: in the off season once a month, hanging out, playing

327
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 1: golf usually just seeing my friends and spending time with families.

328
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's been great to get here and get

329
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: some work in, play some ball in front of the

330
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: home team. So it's good. All right. So you signed

331
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: here on September ninth. Four days later, you're catching a

332
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: touchdown pass against the Jags. You were not with the

333
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: team this offseason, so kind of walk me through what

334
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: was that like for you? Signing with the Texans and

335
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: then just having to get down here in a hurry,

336
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: and then learning the plays that you knew for week one?

337
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: What were those four days like for you? It was

338
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean it was a whirlwind for me, you know, Uh,

339
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, came in, I was in the host team hotel,

340
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: didn't really know my bearings around, you know, the stadium,

341
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: kind of the new kid in school type of feeling.

342
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: But the really familiar with the playbook, really familiar with

343
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: h you know, Tyrod and and you know some of

344
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: the players here and Cooks and some of the guys. So, uh,

345
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: you know whatever. I if I had any questions, I

346
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: would just ask them. And you know, just trying to build,

347
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: just trying to trying to get better and trying to

348
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: improve here in the building and you know, make strides

349
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I know the coaches had said

350
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: they gave you your little package to work on for

351
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: week one. Now that you're this many weeks into it,

352
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: do you have a knowledge of the whole playbook or

353
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: how close are you to really knowing the whole thing.

354
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: I know it's a it's not a full off season,

355
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: but still, ye where with your experience. There's a couple

356
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: of things in camp. I'm sure the guys went over

357
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: and it's it was new to me because I wasn't

358
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: in camp here. So mean, I'm just trying to build,

359
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, you know, take what I know the first week,

360
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: build to the second week, so on and so forth,

361
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we're halfway through the season now

362
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like I have a pretty

363
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: good understanding of um, you know, my role in the team. Obviously,

364
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to expand my role and trying to get better,

365
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: try to help this team win. I know it's hard

366
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: for players when you have to just pick up it

367
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: suddenly moved to it a new city, a new team.

368
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: But did it make it easier coming back to Houston,

369
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt. I mean you at least know

370
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: the freeway system, the city a little bit, the traffic

371
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: system if you will. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was smooth,

372
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, had a lot of familiar faces.

373
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Dylan Thompson, a guy who who's in player personnel here

374
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: that just did a great job helping me out, get me,

375
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: you know, in the right direction off the field what

376
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: I needed to do, and you know, make make everything

377
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: easier on the field. So, like I said, just just

378
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: great organization, great people here, and you know, I'm excited,

379
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: all right. So a lot of these players that are

380
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: signed with the Texans not familiar to Houston, not familiar

381
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: to Texas. But since you are, I mean, do you

382
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: have some like hidden gems or favorite spots that you've

383
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: revisited since you've been back. Growing up, Papa Sitos was

384
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: the used to be. I don't think that's change. I've

385
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: gotten to go a couple of times. I think I

386
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: went twice in the first week, and then I kind

387
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: of got my fixed because I was out in in

388
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: Michigan and in you know, New England for while, and

389
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: we didn't have much good Mexican food. So text Max

390
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: if you will, and I mean papasitos for anybody that

391
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: hasn't been. Obviously, if you're in Houston, you know what

392
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. But is definitely a gem. Don't take

393
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: it for granted. Yeah, it's really hard to find good

394
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: guacamole outside of Texas. This is what I've learned, no doubt,

395
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: no doubt. You just kind of kind of take your

396
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: home recipes and make them your own, all right. Well, well,

397
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: speaking of recipes, I had heard that or I'd seen

398
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: an interview that one of your pregame meals is French

399
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: toast ye with PB and J. Yeah, very creative. M

400
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: Do you have any other food creations that that you do?

401
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot. I try to cook at the

402
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: house a lot in the off season. I'm on the

403
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: go so much. In the middle of the season, I

404
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: don't really get the chance to cook too much. But

405
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, PB and J I kind of, you know,

406
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: needed a little bit something sweeter but before a game

407
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: and more filling than just the regular PB and J.

408
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: So I wanted to grab the French toast and make

409
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: it something, making something special. It's pretty good. If you

410
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: want to add new tell it to it. Wow, fresh fruit,

411
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: fresh strawberries, it's it's it's the gym. I think that

412
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: would work as a dessert too. Yeah, I mean that's

413
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: that's a pretty hefty breakfast, no doubt. All Right, you

414
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: were undrafted out of Tech, then you signed with the Cowboys.

415
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: You didn't play at all your rookie year, which is

416
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: kind of hard to believe considering the career that you've had,

417
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: and and you are one of the You've you've had

418
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: thirteen years of experience, and this season is obviously not

419
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: the way anyone wants it to go. But when you

420
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: look back at your career, is there another season that

421
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: was really tough for you or that you really had

422
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: to overcome a lot of adversity? Absolutely, whether it's injury

423
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: or the record, or you're just not, you know, in

424
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: the role you want to be in. There's a lot

425
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: of you know, adversity you may face, But at the

426
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's week by week for me.

427
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, I couldn't even tell you who we're playing

428
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: next week. I just won't want to put all my

429
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: energy on my focus into one week, go out there,

430
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: try to get a win. And I've been in um,

431
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, a number of organizations to my seventh teams,

432
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: so I've kind of got the gist of how the

433
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: NFL works. It's it's not easy to win games in

434
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's a lot of great football teams, a

435
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of great football players obviously, so you know, the

436
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: key is just to put all the work in, put

437
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: your best foot forward each week and try to get

438
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: a win. UM. I was at the twenty seventeen or

439
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen season Super Bowl. It was here in Houston,

440
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: saw you with the two point conversion the fourth quarter touchdown.

441
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: Now that you're playing here and this is your home stadium,

442
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: what's that like do you I know you've probably played

443
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: here since that Super Bowl, but do you sort of

444
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: walk out there and remember, like those big moments in

445
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: your careers at something that guys do while they're still playing. Absolutely,

446
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: I think about it, you know often. You know, is

447
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: this that night was very special for me, for my

448
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: family and for my teammates, and you know, it was

449
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: it was it was a long night for me because

450
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: it was it was a long game. It was a

451
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: very long game, yes, dame, And you know it's something

452
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: that I'll never forget, always remember. But you know, I've

453
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: been I've been in this building a bunch, been to

454
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: the rodeo here a couple of times, oh you have, Okay,

455
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: I've been to a couple of motocross events here. So

456
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: this stadium obviously is utilized for a lot of different

457
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: things in football obviously, Uh, you know, a great, great

458
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: venue to come watch and and for me, great venue

459
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: to play too. All right, so you've played the most

460
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL. You're also the oldest player on

461
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: the roster. Remind me of that, I know, I mean

462
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: old and age only You're you're thirty. You just turned

463
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: thirty six, so happy belated birthday. And I had Brevin

464
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: Jordan on UM last time, and he's the youngest player.

465
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: So he did not say that you acted like the

466
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: oldest player. He said that was Davis Mills. So I

467
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: feel like he didn't really throw you in that category,

468
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: which is a rookie either UM. Old souls on the team,

469
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: any other old souls in the locker room? Man, There's

470
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of great guys in this locker room.

471
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: I can't I can't say enough about the group we

472
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: have here. Man. Everybody comes in and works their tail

473
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: off every day. You know, we're gonna continue to try

474
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: to stack as many wins up as we can and

475
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: try to build and try to you know, get better

476
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: each each game, each each season. So a lot of

477
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: great guys here, a lot of you know, the I

478
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm the oldest soul. I guess I try.

479
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 1: I try to. I try to stay young. So okay, um,

480
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: you know I'm learning from I'm learning from the guys

481
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: in the locker room that have lazing kids and stuff.

482
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: You have to have kids set, so I'm taking notes

483
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: and I'm utilizing my access to good parenting skills when

484
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: in the future for me. All Right, you said something

485
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: very interesting. You said you try to keep young at heart.

486
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: So I have a game for you. Let's roll. So

487
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: these are things that you're supposed to know if you're young.

488
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: So if you really are young at heart, you'll know

489
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: some of these. Okay, So if you don't know what

490
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: it is, just give me your best guests, because I

491
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: don't really know how this is gonna go. Yeah, do

00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: you know who These guys are a huge, huge pop band.

493
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: I've seen them on an award show I think MTV.

494
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: I want to say they're like it's like a couple

495
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: of letters. Maybe, yes, I don't know what the letters are.

496
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: BTS South Korean boy band. Wow, you're off to a

497
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: great start. Okay. What is what is this? That is

498
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: a handbag? Looks like leather from Europe. I can't tell

499
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: you the brand, but it looks pretty sure. It is

500
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: a handbag. It's a shopper. It's the tell Far shopping

501
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: toad apparently was all the rage during COVID and sold

502
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: out immediately. Yep, okay, that's that's pretty good. All right?

503
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: Those look like yeasy's the new Croc edition. They look comfable.

504
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't own them, but you know a few players

505
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: have been wearing them. I've seen them. They're called foam runners,

506
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, they're like Crocs but make it fashion. Yeah right,

507
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: I guess I think easy. I would probably have a

508
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: problem if I said that. All right, do you know

509
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: who she is? I do? I don't know who that is. No, Okay,

510
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: this is a hard one. Are you on TikTok tikk TikTok?

511
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: I haven't are you do you do the TikTok. I

00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: kind of yeah and I and it's huge entertainment for me.

514
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: I just got put on TikTok a couple of months ago.

515
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: But um, I mean she's a TikTok phenome. I'm sure. Yeah,

516
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: she's the richest TikTok star, Charlie Demilio. And I had

517
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: to write the answers on the back because I don't

518
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: even know me. So then, don't feel so bad. But

519
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. You did, all right? It was it

520
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: was subpar, but you can study for the next time.

521
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: We'll do a round two the next time you're on.

522
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: How about it? All right? What about the rest of

523
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. What are you looking to

524
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: sort of get better and improve that for the rest

525
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: of those games? Just anything whatever we can do to

526
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: win games, and um, you know, go out there and

527
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: compete our tail off. And you know, we got a

528
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: bunch of bunch of winnable games coming up. Every one

529
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: of them's you know, in our eyes, we can we

530
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: have a chance to win. And we have a bunch

531
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: of guys in here, you know, willing and eager to

532
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: fight for four quarters and get it done, and um,

533
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, just practice, get better, try to win some games.

534
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, Danny A Mandela, thanks so much

535
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: for the time. Thank you. I'm telling you, it's still

536
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: sort of odd to see Danny in the hallway today.

537
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: I happened to be coming out of the radio studio

538
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: and Danny was kind of behind me. So as I

539
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: was coming out of radio studio, we were almost kind

540
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: of lined up next to one another, and there's something

541
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: got to happen in front of us. And I kind

542
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: of looked at him. I was like, you believe that,

543
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: and he just kind of smiled on laughed. I was like, man,

544
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: it's Danny Avendola. It's just I don't know, there's something

545
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: about it. Having played against it for so many years

546
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: with him and the Patriots and watching him make all

547
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: those great catches for Tom Brady and the Patriots and

548
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowls and all that, there's still a joy in

549
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: the way he plays football. I watched him today when

550
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: he was out of practice, just catching punts, throwing the

551
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: ball back to the equipment guys so they could get

552
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: it back to the punter, and just having a blast

553
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: playing ball, and I think that rubs off. And when

554
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: we were in Arizona, he almost went toe to toe

555
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: with Isaiah Simmons. Now, if you look up Danny's height weight,

556
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: he's like five ten, Isaiah Simmons like six four two

557
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: thirty five. And Danny him back down for a second.

558
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: Not I mean not for a second. I mean Amundel

559
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: is ready to fire. It's kind of interesting to watch. Um.

560
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: Of course, a little discussion got broken up at the

561
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, but it kind of went into

562
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: into the game a little bit. But it was just

563
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: interesting to watch the fiery competitor. Now we all knew

564
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: Danny is and has always been, but to see that

565
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: manifests itself like right in front of one of the

566
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: just most impressive ysical specimens you've seen in Isaiah Simmons

567
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinal. So hopefully that will rub off

568
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: that fight, that spirit rubs off this weekend in Nashville

569
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Now we do have a Titanic battle, yeah, dad,

570
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 1: joke with the Titans. How are the Texans going to

571
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: get it done? Well, I've got my keys to the

572
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 1: game next right here on Texans All Access. Oh yeah, baby,

573
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: it is time for my Keys to the game. Yeah.

574
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: I do this every single week, third segment, first hour.

575
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: I didn't do it last week obviously because there was

576
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: not a game, so I didn't have any keys to do,

577
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: and it felt kind of I don't know, I felt

578
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: sort of naked without them, not doing them. I love

579
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: to do them. I do them and have been doing

580
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: them since two thousand and three. I think the very

581
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: first keys to the Game that I did officially was

582
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: case State in Texas to different college football news, and

583
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: I've been doing keys to the game for all kinds

584
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: of games, but I started doing them for every Texas

585
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: game and thought, you know what, it was actually a

586
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: suggestion of Jamie Roots, former Texas president, who said, hey,

587
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: you should do those on air. I was like, all right,

588
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: good idea, and so I did. You can read my

589
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: article I Know your Foe and you can see what

590
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: I have to say, but it's basically a presentation of

591
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: those keys that you can see and know your foe.

592
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: And the foe this week, as you know, is the

593
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans eight and two. We haven't seen the Titans

594
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: since Week seventeen of last year, when AJ Brown caught

595
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: a deep ball one play before, Gosh, who was it?

596
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 1: Why am I drawn a blank on who kicked it?

597
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: But one beefed up kicker hit a field goal off

598
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: the crossbar and made it? And why am I drawn

599
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: a blank out of who that was? Because that from

600
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: my angle, I didn't I stayed on the far end

601
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: and I couldn't actually see who that was whether that

602
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: field goal was gonna be good or not. I was

603
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: kind of a bad angle and it looked like from

604
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: my angle was gonna be good. Oh it was Sloman

605
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: Sean Sloman slowman, I think from a Virginia tech either way,

606
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: slowman twinks it off the upright, Titans win. Titans win? Oh,

607
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: what a cut punch and tied the game right before

608
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: that they hit that deep ball. I just don't even

609
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: want to I did. I can't even think about that one.

610
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: Gotta think about this one because the game in Week

611
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: six and Nashville last year was kind of the same thing.

612
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: Took a seven point lead, decided to go for two,

613
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: which I thought was absolute right decision. Put them away

614
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: right there. They don't have time to do two possessions.

615
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is recovering outside kick. If you

616
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: give it the touchdown and got a knocked down by

617
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, and that's gonna be somebody we talk about.

618
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: Titans went down tied, it got the coin flip to

619
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: go their way and drove down and Derrick Henry wildcat

620
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: and himself in the end zone. Now we won't see

621
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and we won't see Julio Jones, but we

622
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: will see a j Brown and that is a bad thing.

623
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: And you're gonna hear why in just a second. So

624
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: Craig cut by music because I just I feel better

625
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: with the music going. It gives me a little rhythm,

626
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: gives me a little a little funk, little you know

627
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: in my step, you know, kind of Bruno Marsish. So

628
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: let's go right now the keys. Let's start with the

629
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans offense. Now, this is a group that averages

630
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty one point six yards per game

631
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: on the ground, is seventh in the NFL. We're gonna

632
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: get to that in a second. Passing yards they threw

633
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: from about two fifteen to sixteen that's twenty third in

634
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: the league. Three forty eight per game, that's seventeenth, like

635
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the league. About they've lost

636
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: twelve turnovers. The key has been lately the last four

637
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: games only four turnovers, so you'll see what that's all about.

638
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: We know about quarterback Ryan Tannehill, Jeremy Nick McNichols is out,

639
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be do out there. Former and Adrian

640
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: Peterson in this one. No Julio Jones, so a j Brown,

641
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: Chester Rodgers one. Like your receivers, you'll see Nick Westbrook

642
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: a Keyna as well, along with Marcus Johnson who had

643
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: a great game former Colt, former Texas Longhord wide receiver

644
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: who is doing some big thanks for the Titans. He

645
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: had a great hit, a great game, So Marcus Johnson

646
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: could also play a role in this one. Offensive line

647
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: is pretty much the same as it's been Taylor Uwe,

648
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: Roger Stafol, Ben Jones, those three have been together for

649
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: about three years now. Nate Davis will not start do

650
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: the concussion. He is out. David Kosenberry will start at

651
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: right tackle. Now here are the keys, Number one. The

652
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: Titans won't change what they are and you know your foe.

653
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: You'll see what I titled this and still heavyweight champion

654
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: and the point that I'm making there, like when you

655
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: hear Michael Buffer say that at the end, he's given

656
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: the boxing results and the champion wins, he says, And

657
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: still what it means is the heavyweight champ is gonna

658
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: stop being a heavyweight champ. Just because Derek Henry is

659
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: out doesn't mean that the Titans aren't going to try

660
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: and badass their way to win. And they're gonna do

661
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: that through the offensive line. So it's gonna be grounded pound,

662
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna Beyante Foreman and Adrian Peterson. Here's the chicky

663
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: part though. For the Titans. The last two weeks, they've

664
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: only run for one hundred thirty five yards combined on

665
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: the ground combined, so average of about sixty eight yards

666
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: per game. I mean that's not great. And last week

667
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: or the last game for the Texans, they held the

668
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins to forty seven yards on twenty five carries, so

669
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: that could be something six weeks ago. I'm thinking, oh

670
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: my god, Henry will go nuts again. It's all he

671
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: does against us. And now you look at and go, well,

672
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: Henry's not playing. There's no Jeremy McNichols, there's no Nate

673
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: Davis who helps give that line and identity man where's

674
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: the rushing gonna come from. Well, we're gonna get to

675
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: that in We're gonna get to that just a little bit.

676
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Number two, What has Brown done to you? Well, you

677
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: know the commercial what has Brown done for you? In

678
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: this case, if you're the Texans, it's what has Brown

679
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: aka aj Brown done to you and to us? This

680
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: guy's been unbelievable. In twenty nineteen against US, he had

681
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: twelve catches for two hundred and thirty eight yards and

682
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That was as a rookie. In two games.

683
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: Last year, he had fifteen catches for two hundred and

684
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: nine yards and three touchdowns into two games, including the

685
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: game tying touchdown in Week six at Nashville and the

686
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: long bomb that preceded the Sloman Joint fuel goal to

687
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: beat US here thirty eight thirty five that clinch DAFC

688
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: South for the Tennessee Titans. He is a handfull. Now

689
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: here's what's different about the Titans. With no Julio Jones,

690
00:34:52,320 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: no Corey Davis. The other threats at wide receiver are okay,

691
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: but they don't worry me that much. I would do

692
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: everything possible to take eleven completely away and out of

693
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: this game. Now, last week against the Saints only had

694
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: one catch for sixteen yards. So I'd imagine that Titans

695
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: has been all week, how do we get AJ Brown

696
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: the ball? What do we do? They're gonna be different

697
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: ways they get in the ball, push past his jet sweeps,

698
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna be. They're gonna find him, invent ways to

699
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: get AJ Brown the ball, and so it is key

700
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: for the Texans to slow him down. A J. Brown

701
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: might be part of that run game, which leads me

702
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: to Key three because quarterback Ryan Tannehill might be part

703
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: of that run game as well. We are we are

704
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: required to tell you that Ryan Tannehill used to be

705
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, so he's got wheels he can run,

706
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: and they will dial up some runs for him. Now

707
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot of times he scrambles out of trouble because

708
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: teams can't corral him and sack him because he's a big,

709
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: hard running guy. But I think a bigger key actually

710
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: is how the Titans will use him in the run

711
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: game to be quarter sweeps could be things that they

712
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: want to be able to do that they haven't done

713
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: because they didn't need to, but now onlybe they need to.

714
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: They need to run the ball a little bit better.

715
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised to see a little wildcat were they dreamed?

716
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: Peterson and Jonta Foreman when we went to Tennessee in

717
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen rable through that week two at US because

718
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: they didn't they had Blank Gabbett playing quarterback. Don't be

719
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: surprised to see a little bit of everything from the

720
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: Titans from the run game, including Ryan Tannehill and the

721
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: last key. So almost Thanksgiving, right, So what do we

722
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: do during holidays? We give thanks by taking away? Well

723
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: that's weird, right, Well, yeah, in football, that's what the

724
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: Texans have been doing. Last week against the Dolphins, they

725
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: had five takeaways That was fifty six percent of their

726
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: full total in twenty twenty. Now, of the nine they

727
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: got last year, they got one each at a key

728
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: time against the Titans in those In those games, Bradley

729
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: Roby had an interception deep that led to a touchdown

730
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: for the Texans, and then Derrick Henry had a fumble

731
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: when he broke through the line he was about to

732
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: go to the house and the Texans turned out into

733
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown. The Titans have turned over now, not lately,

734
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: but they have to the Texans taking the ball away

735
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: at holiday time is a good thing if you're the Texans.

736
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to that Titans defense that is

737
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: giving up under one hundred yards per game on the

738
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: ground at seventh the NFL ninety eight point six yards

739
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: per game, two hundred and sixty eight yards per game

740
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: through the air. That's twenty seventh. That still hasn't improved.

741
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: Like I know, Mike Raybels wanted to improve the twenty

742
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: first in the league and total offense allowed at three

743
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven yards. But here's the key. They're

744
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: fourteen turnovers generated. They're plus two on the air and

745
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: turnover margin, but they're plus five in their last four games,

746
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: and that has changed things. So let's get into the keys.

747
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: Number one. I think the word underrated is used so

748
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: often it's become overrated. But when you have a player

749
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: like den Denico Autry, he is truly underrated. Everyone wants

750
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: talking about Jeffrey Simmons and Harold Landry and I look

751
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: up and I watch a film and I'm like, man

752
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: ninety six is a problem, and that's Denico Autry. He

753
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: rushes from outside, rushes from inside. He did it against

754
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: us when he was with the Colts, and I hated

755
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: face him. He's doing it with the Titans. He can,

756
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: because of his versatility, create a ton of issues. The

757
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: Texas got to find a way to slow down Deniko

758
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: Autry at the same time, Block and Harold Landry too.

759
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: And to my second key, he was number four. No,

760
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: that was not a Jersey number. That was Jeffrey Simmons

761
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: spot in the twenty nineteen Harris one hundred. And when

762
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I go through the Harris one hundred, I try and

763
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: figure out, Okay, who are the rock solid locks up

764
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: in the top five, top seven, top ten. And I

765
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: had seen Jeffrey Simmons played numerous times throughout the year,

766
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: but I saw him in the in the Bowl game

767
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: against Iowa, and I thought, that guy's going top five,

768
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: and so I put him Adam at number four will

769
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: end up going to number nineteen because he towards ACL

770
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: in the draft process, and the Titans said, look, we'll

771
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: take the long term avenue with Jeffrey Simmons. Yeah, he

772
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: missed half of his rookie year in twenty nineteen. He

773
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: came back and played US twice. He's played US four times,

774
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: and he has been a thorn in our side of

775
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: every single time, and oh yeah, he's gotten better. Guard

776
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: center guard this week have got their hands full with

777
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, and I don't know if there's any effective

778
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: way to go at him with power, with quickness, with

779
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: double teams. He has gotten to a point where he

780
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: might be the best interior defensive player not named Aaron

781
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: Donald in this league. Yes, that's a mouthful, but that's

782
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: the level to which Simmons has risen, and he is

783
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: a problem. He is to Derek Henry on the defensive

784
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: side of the ball and had a monster game against

785
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: the Rams, had a great game Week four against the

786
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: colt He is playing some exceptional fo ball and the

787
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: Texans cannot allow them ninety eight to ruin and wreck

788
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: this game. Number three is the kitchen counter now. Last

789
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: time out, the Texans saw zero blitz and what I

790
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: like to call kitchen sink blitzes. The Dolphins were sending

791
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: everybody in the kitchen sink. Then they did it the

792
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: next week against Lamar Jackson even more so and beat

793
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens doing it. Now, the Titans are not quite

794
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna send the kitchen sink, but what they have is speed,

795
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: and especially with Jayon Brown and Monty Rice at linebacker,

796
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: they have flat out blazing speed. So, like I said,

797
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: it called this kitchen counter. So the Texans have got

798
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: to counter that aggressiveness and that speed with the front

799
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: just diving on the ball and diving on flow. At flow.

800
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to counter back with counterplays, cut

801
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: back plays, maybe a reverse, maybe some bootleg. We used

802
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: to just out on linebackers coach a long long time ago.

803
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: I used to have a phrase from my from my

804
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: outside guys, cut back counter reverse boot like cut back counter,

805
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: reverse boot like. You had to take care of those,

806
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: especially if you want to be a fast little defense.

807
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: Your backside guys have got to be careful of that. Well.

808
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: If you get flying too fast, then an offense could

809
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: take advantage of me. And that's what the Texans have

810
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: got to do. And finally, and oh finally, oh finally,

811
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: number four, the Texans have not scored a touchdown on

812
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: the road since the fourth quarter when Davis Bills threw

813
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: a quick screen to Brandon Cooks not scored to touchdown.

814
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: If the Texans can get a touchdown on the board early,

815
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: I feel like that I'll break the seal now. I

816
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna lead to like fifty points in

817
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 1: a game. But I feel like that that burden will

818
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: be off the back, in the backs of this entire

819
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: offense and they'll just play. I think they're feeling it.

820
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: I think they're they're pressing. If they could put one

821
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: in the end zone early, then they could settle in

822
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: a play a little bit and put the Titans on

823
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: their heels. Should be kind of nice. All right, those

824
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: are your keys to the game. One guy that is

825
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: a key for the Exans is Titus Howard. He will

826
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: join us next right here on Texans All Access Access Access.

827
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Friday, Nia, Texas All Access. We've

828
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,399

837
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: was so hard. This past week so hard. It's like, man,

838
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times it looked up like wait, game, no, no,

839
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: no game. So yeah, it was. It was frustrating and

840
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: yet relaxing and kind of weird all at the all

841
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: at the same time. But we made it through. And

855
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: I saw that twenty fifty when I did that read

856
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: I've been doing that read now for a few weeks.

857
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: But I saw twenty fifteen, Man twenty fifties so far off,

858
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: and then like Man twenty twenty one sounded so far off,

859
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: like back when I was in college. I'm like, oh, Man,

860
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenties forever from here, And now twenty twenty is

861
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: in our review mirror. Actually, thankfully, with all the COVID

862
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: nonsense that went on with twenty twenty, I'm glad it's

863
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: our review mirror. But Man, twenty fifty is not that

864
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: far off. Twenty nine years. I know it sounds like

865
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: a long time, but in a blink it'll be gone.

866
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: But this way, at twenty fifty, my son will be

867
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: essentially as old as I am right now. That tells

868
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: you how wow twenty fifty, Oh man. I don't think

869
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: Jack wants to be forty nine, that's for sure, But

870
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: either way we'll get there. All right, It's time to

966
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,640

972
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: massive octop He's at the beach and he's got this

973
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: massive octopus. He's standing up out of the water and

974
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: this octopus is hanging off off of him on his back.

975
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, no big deal. He's a Hawaiian guy.

980
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: in the weight room? Probably bench pressing and I like

981
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 1: the beings pressed. It's flat straight with the bar. Yeah,

982
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: being pressed. Least favorite, which we do every day in

983
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: the weight room, it's probably planks. Planks yeah, yeah, I

984
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: hate them, and you have to do like all the

985
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: exotic ones, like where you lift the leg. Yeah, go

986
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: flip on one side the other side. Man. You know,

987
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: for the first half of the season, everybody was listening

988
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: their favorite as squats, and then it shifted and everyone's

989
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: saying that was their least favorite. So you've kind of

990
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: and then a lot of guys have been saying their favorites.

991
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: The bench is where you are, but nobody said planks.

992
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: You that's pretty good one that can be a pain, man,

993
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm I salute that one. What's the greatest invention? I

994
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,680

1009
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,000

1014
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: Drew and I had this discussion today. Drew played me

1015
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: the the video audio of that interview with Titus and

1016
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: it's awesome. I mean it really is. It's good stuff.

1017
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Radio Gold got edited out and it

1018
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: was it was a decision that I get it, I

1019
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: understand it. But maybe one of these days we'll play

1020
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: blooper versions and that one is going to be right

1021
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: at the top of the list. And it was one

1022
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: of the most awesome slip ups ever. And I'm sure

1023
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: that I've I've done something to that degree, but I'm

1024
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: gonna have to leave you hanging a suspense on that one.

1025
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: But just let's just know that there is a piece

1026
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: that hopefully we can play on radio at some point

1027
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: that was really really funny that we had we had

1028
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: edited out, So hopefully we'll have a blooper edition that

1029
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: will be able to bring that back. But great stuff

1030
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: there from Titus. Will hear from him later Withdrew do

1031
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:11,480

Speaker 1: straight up and against the spread. So like, you can

1063
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: get on board or not, that's up to you. So

1064
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: let's kick this thing off. Let's get my music there

1065
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: it is, and let's get started. In Western New York,

1066
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo taken on the Colts. This game was last year's

1067
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: wild card playoff round and I still haven't seen Hard

1068
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: Knocks yet in season with the Colts. I can't wait

1069
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: to see it. I did see little clips at HBO

1070
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: and the NFL films I've been putting out. One of

1071
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: them had to do about Jonathan Taylor, and I just

1072
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: a cry when I see it. O. My buddy Jesse

1073
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: Clark used to be with the Texans, now with the

1074
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals. He was a Wisconsin graduate and he

1075
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: would text me while Jonathan Taylor's in school. He would

1076
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: text me, Taylor did this. I'm like, Jesse, I mean,

1077
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: I know I'm watching the games, but we would kind

1078
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: of trade text back and forth about oh man, what

1079
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,439
Speaker 1: if Jonathan Taylor joined the Texas? All minute would be great?

1080
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: Not only do you not joined the Texas, he joined

1081
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: the Colts. Well, the Colts are healthy in this one.

1082
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: In fact, the only player of consequence that really you've

1083
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye on is in a big one,

1084
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: miss Trema and Edmunds. He's questionable the hamstring for the Bills.

1085
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: The Bills are seven point favorite. I don't know about that.

1086
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: That struck me when I saw that. I'm like, yo,

1087
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: that is a big number. Look, I know the Bills

1088
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: I think straight up are better than the Colts. But

1089
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: ten points and if the Colts get that run game going,

1090
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: I can't get there with the Colts winning the game.

1091
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: I just I can't get there. I don't. I'm trying

1092
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: to think of a scenario in which Carson wentz int

1093
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: the Colts go to Buffalo and win. I can't see that.

1094
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: But I do think the Cults are gonna get inside

1095
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: that number. I think last year a playoff game, it

1096
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: was like a six or seven point spread and Philip

1097
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: Rivers had him within three, and what won the game?

1098
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: Had you been able to make a throw on fourth

1099
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: down early in the game. Don't line, but didn't know.

1100
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: Colts lost that. Colts will lose this one too, but

1101
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: they will get inside that seven. Take the Bills to win,

1102
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: the Colts to cover. All right, let's go to Chicago,

1103
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: where the Chicago Bears are taken on Lamar Jackson and

1104
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Two big things to keep in mind. One, well,

1105
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: they're both big things, one figuratively, but both literally. A

1106
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: Keem Hicks stout defensive line for the Bears is out

1107
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: against this Ravens offense. Ouch number one, but yeah, he's out.

1108
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: Doubtful is wide receiver Alan Robinson. On top of the fact,

1109
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: the Bears are placing both Khalil Mack and Danny Tremathon

1110
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Ravens are a six point favorite on

1111
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: the road. I think they're gonna win this by ten

1112
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: or more. Let's go Ravens to win. Now, the Ravens

1113
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: have got a number of players questionable in this one.

1114
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: They've got a couple out Rady Williams up front, Pronella

1115
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: McFee up front, but for the most part, the only

1116
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: other one really keep an eye is Marquis Brown, who's

1117
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: dealing with a thigh issue. He's questionable, but as long

1118
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: as eight's playing, and he is, I'm going with the Ravens.

1119
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: The Ravens are gonna cover that six and beat the Bears.

1120
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: I like what I've seen from Justin Fields. I will

1121
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: say that Justin Fields has shown some stuff lately. I

1122
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: like what he's doing, but I don't think it's gonna

1123
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: be enough. I think the Ravens defensen't great, but I

1124
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't think the Ravens will do enough to cover that

1125
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: six pointer and win. All right, let's go to Cleveland.

1126
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:42,479
Speaker 1: The Lions are taking on the Browns, and the good

1127
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: news for the Browns an eleven and a half point favorite.

1128
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and Dmitric Felton, the rookie Weapon X player

1129
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: along with Nick Chubb, win the best running backs in

1130
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: the league. Both taken off the reserve COVID nineteen lists.

1131
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: They are expected to play, and that's enough for me.

1132
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: Cleveland is favored by twelve. I think Cleveland will not

1133
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,439
Speaker 1: cover the twelve. I think the Lions will get inside

1134
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: that twelve. Lines have proven that they can hang. They

1135
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: just can't get enough to win. Tied last week against

1136
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. I think the Browns are gonna win this game.

1137
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: But I do think the Lions will get inside that twelve.

1138
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: They've got just enough. They played hard for Dan Campbell,

1139
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: they get after it. They just have not been able

1140
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: to make that one final play to get them a W.

1141
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: It just won't happen. They won't get a W this week,

1142
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: but they will get inside that twelve. All right, NFC

1143
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: North Battle, They've been playing this game since nineteen sixty.

1144
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: The Packers are going to Minasotha, and there's some bad

1145
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: news for the Packers. Running Back Aaron Jones is out,

1146
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: left tackle David Bakhtiari still with that knee, is out,

1147
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: and it looks like Alan Lazar the Oller's shoulder is doubtful.

1148
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Those are three big pieces on the offense. Now, that

1149
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: probably means you're gonna rely on Quadzilla a little bit

1150
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: more AKA AJ Dillon And that's okay. So fantasy make

1151
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: sure you make a note AJ Dillon for the Packers.

1152
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: But I think that's gonna be enough. I think it's

1153
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna be enough. The Vikings are relatively healthy Bashad Brelan

1154
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: the Corners questionable, So that's definitely one to watch in Minnesota.

1155
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Though funky things can happen, and the Vikings are all

1156
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: over the place as a team. I mean, they go

1157
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: out and beat the Chargers, then they fall behind the

1158
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: other teams. I can't figure out the Vikings, and so

1159
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I think Vegas is kind of the same way. I

1160
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: think with Aaron Rodgers gonna lineup and healthy. I think

1161
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: straight up against the Vikings, they beat them by a touchdown,

1162
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's gonna happen here. I think

1163
01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: the Packers is gonna win this one by touchdowns. Go

1164
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: thirty one twenty four Packers, which will cover the one

1165
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: and give the Packers the w All right, let's go

1166
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: to New Jersey. No team in New Jersey. Yeah, there

1167
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: are two of them in New Jersey. We just say

1168
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: New York, but it's the New Jersey Jets really are

1169
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: taking on the Dolphins. Dolphins going on the road. They've

1170
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: won two in a row, beat US, then beat the Ravens.

1171
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: They had the mini buy off the Thursday game, and

1172
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: now they're taking on the New York Jets. And the

1173
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins are relatively healthy. And it does look like Twa

1174
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: found a little something, maybe found his confidence maybe against

1175
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens led them to a win in the fourth quarter.

1176
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: I think he'll do it again. The Dolphins are favored

1177
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: by three and a half. That hook, oh man, keep

1178
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: an eye on that. Zach Wilson won't play. Joe Flacco

1179
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: will start, and that's probably the reason why I'm going

1180
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: to Dolphins to cover the three, because the Dolphins will

1181
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: blitz Joe Flacco when he's on the sideline. Somehow the

1182
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: offense will the way to blitz Joe Flacco. I mean,

1183
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: they're just gonna blitz him all day and there's no

1184
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: reason not to. Elijah Vera Tucker who has turned into

1185
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: a whale of an offensive linement's questionable the toe. Hopefully

1186
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna play because I like, really, I really like

1187
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: watching him play for the Jets. Jets won't have it up.

1188
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson presumably back next week. I think that, Yeah,

1189
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 1: is that the Texans? Yeah, I think it's the texts.

1190
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember twelve thirteen. I think it's Yeah,

1191
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: it's the Jets. So maybe he's back to that, but

1192
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: he's doubtful for this one. Joe Flacco is gonna get blitz.

1193
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna win this thing. It may be ugly,

1194
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: maybe like twenty three to six, but I think the

1195
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins will cover that three and a half. I don't

1196
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: think the hook is really gonna be in play here.

1197
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins will take care of business and

1198
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: beat the Jets. In New Jersey, Saints and Eagles. Now,

1199
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin brought a really interesting point up and it

1200
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: ended up making its way over to social media because

1201
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: it's Michael Irvin and he's talking about the Eagles, and

1202
01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: he talked about them in really glowing terms, and he

1203
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: made a comment he said, look, look at the Eagles

1204
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: schedule the rest of the year. It's not that difficult,

1205
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: in particular because they got to play the NFC East opponents.

1206
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: So there's an opportunity for Philadelphia to close quickly, close

1207
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: well and maybe getting the playoffs. I'm like, what playoffs?

1208
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: Like what they thought about, Like, yeah, maybe this could happen.

1209
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: You got Davante Smiths shown up now making some big

1210
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: time plays. Jalen Hurts is doing the run pass thing

1211
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: really really well. Games in Philly, their two point favorite

1212
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Albert Kamara is out, Torn Armstead is out, Ryan rampcheck out,

1213
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Keener Passagon is out. Big names out for the New

1214
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints and the Eagles are relatively healthy, so I

1215
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go at the Eagles to win this one.

1216
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: They're favored by two and a half, so Vegas thinks

1217
01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: they're pretty much even. Maybe you get the Saints got

1218
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: but with no Kimara, deal with that knee and both

1219
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: starting tackles are out come. Were on the Eagles to

1220
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: win this thing, and they're gonna cover that two and

1221
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: a half. Get the Eagles that w to get the

1222
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: five and six. My goodness, I don't think you're gonna

1223
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: catch the Cowboys. But I'm telling you there's gonna be

1224
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: a team in the league with eight wins eight nine,

1225
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: nine to eight get to the playoffs. Maybe it's the

1226
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: Eagles play a little better. They're gonna get that win.

1227
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Ron Rivera Bowl that

1228
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: has taken place in Charlotte. You're starting quarterback for the

1229
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers will be Cameron Newton. That's right, Cam Newton

1230
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,479
Speaker 1: will start for the Panthers against his former coach Ron

1231
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Rivera on the Washing football team got a big win

1232
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But Panthers got

1233
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: the five and five of a massive win against the

1234
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and Carolina's favored by three and a half

1235
01:04:55,560 --> 01:05:00,479
Speaker 1: and Panthers relatively healthy. Washington football team will be without

1236
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: tight end Ricky Seals Jones, but for the most part,

1237
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: it looks like they're sort of healthy. So from that perspective,

1238
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: I think Carolina with Christian McCaffrey back, with Cam back.

1239
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how they use Cam in the

1240
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: passing game, which obviously Joe Brady is had to figure out.

1241
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: And do they use PJ. Walker also in some sort

1242
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: of wildcat capacity or what they're gonna do with him,

1243
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: because I think they could use PJ Walker in addition

1244
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton, and I think that's gonna be enough.

1245
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Are they Cam Newton, Christian McCaffrey, Chewbahabbard, Dose three running

1246
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: the rock? We're gonna give Washington issue. I think Carolina

1247
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: wins this thing and they cover the three and a half. Gosh,

1248
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: that was close. I feel like twenty one seventeen, I

1249
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: feel like Carolina will blitz Taylor Heineke enough to keep

1250
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: him off balance. Someone go Carolina win this thing. Twenty

1251
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: four twenty twenty one, seventeen four point win. They'll cover

1252
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 1: the three and a half. Our last noon game takes

1253
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I said Jacksonville, and it's the Jaguires taking on the

1254
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners. Now, Jacksonville got that win the

1255
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: last time at Jacksonville against the Buffalo Bills somehow, some way.

1256
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: But James Robinson's questionable, and he has said he feels

1257
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: pretty good and there's a decent shot of him strapping

1258
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: it up against the forty nine ers. The forty nine

1259
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: ers looked all kinds of awesome, but Elijah Mitchell probably

1260
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: going to be out. He's doubtful. I don't think I've

1261
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: ever seen a doubtful play. So if you have Elijah

1262
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: Mitchell in fantasy, might want to go a different direction.

1263
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers still have a lot of injuries, but

1264
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: they're working a way through it. And they played really

1265
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: well on Monday night, but they played Monday night. They've

1266
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: got to travel and playing the East Coast and play

1267
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: at a negative body clock game because they're playing it

1268
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: at one o'clock local time, which body clock time is

1269
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: ten AM. And the forty Niners a fair by six

1270
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: and a half short week. Think of the body clock game.

1271
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence can do just enough to win a game.

1272
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Jaguars win, but I do think

1273
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: the Jaguars will cover, give the Niners a win to

1274
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: get to five and five. But the Jaguars are gonna

1275
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: make this closer than it should be. And from the

1276
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, Jeff Wilson, probably the guy you want to

1277
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: rely on on fantasy, might want to put Elijah Mitchell

1278
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: on your bench as he is doubtful for this one.

1279
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: All right, it's guitar afternoon games. The Bengals and the

1280
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,959
Speaker 1: Raiders are two teams that are about three weeks ago.

1281
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Ride and high well five and two man for these

1282
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: guys be a top d FC. When it's all said

1283
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: and done, well things happen for both teams and not

1284
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: in not in a great way. The Raiders got housed

1285
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday night football against the Bengals, and I'm sorry

1286
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. The Bengals, sitting at five and four,

1287
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: I think you've got a great shot to go win

1288
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: this one in Las Vegas. I'm gonna give the Bengals

1289
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: the opportunity to cover. That's a one point. It's a

1290
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: one point spread with the Bengals favorite. I think Joe

1291
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,879
Speaker 1: Burrow Jamar Chase are going to eat against that Raiders secondary.

1292
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: Now there's ben talk that Mullen will be back for

1293
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I don't know that matters. I think Joe

1294
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Burrow's gonna light them up. I think Bengals is gonna

1295
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: win this thing and the Raiders are gonna fall through

1296
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: five and five is the Bengals go to six and

1297
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: four trying to keep pace in the a f C

1298
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: North Cowboys Chiefs oh Baby in Kansas City, Amari Cooper

1299
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: out with covid ouch. Now, the Cowboys have been all

1300
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: over the map. Mark Cooper has been a big part

1301
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: of it. This offense is still gonna be able to

1302
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: move the ball against the Chiefs, and I think you're

1303
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna put pressure on the Chiefs. However, what we saw

1304
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: the other night from the Chiefs and then went against

1305
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders was the offense I think we should see

1306
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: controlled when it needs to be controlled, going ninety five

1307
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: miles down to left lane when it needs to go

1308
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: that fast. So I'm going Chiefs and their favorite by

1309
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: two and a half. Chiefs to win and cover that

1310
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: two and a half against the Cowboys. NFC West battle

1311
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: out in Seattle, the Cardinals taking on the Seahawks. The

1312
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals coming off an embarrassing loss to Carolina Panthers, not

1313
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: because of losing to Carolina, but how they lost and

1314
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: how badly they got beat up. The Seahawks lost at

1315
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: Green Bay, scoring zero points. Arizona's favored by two. Looks

1316
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray's gonna be back, However, it sounds like

1317
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins won't With Murray back, I'd give the Cardinals

1318
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go win that game and cover that

1319
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: two point spread against Seattle Sunday night. This is a

1320
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: great game. Pittsburgh Steelers taken on the Los Angeles Chargers.

1321
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: The Chargers are favored by five and a half five

1322
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: and a half. I still think it's gonna be a

1323
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 1: fun ball game, and I think the Chargers are gonna

1324
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: win it, though I think it feels like thirty one,

1325
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: twenty four or seven point win. I think charge are

1326
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna win by seven. I think Herbert's gonna bounce back

1327
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: with no t J. Watt in the lineup, which it

1328
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 1: sounds like there's not going to be a t J.

1329
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: Watt in the lineups. He's been dealing with some injuries,

1330
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: multiple injuries. I think the Steelers will have a tougher

1331
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: time slowing the Chargers offense down, and I think it

1332
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: turns into a seven point win for the Chargers. Last year,

1333
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: the Giants and Buccaneers played on a Monday Night in

1334
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: New Jersey. This year they're playing on Monday night in Tampa.

1335
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Tampa's favored by eleven. I mean, you've got all kinds

1336
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: of drama down to Tampa Bay with Antonio Brown Shocker.

1337
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: I think the Buccaneers still win their favorite by eleven. Yeah,

1338
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the Bucks a win and a cover.

1339
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: They'll win that by a couple of touchdowns. Let's go

1340
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: thirty five, twenty one something in that magnitude. Giant score

1341
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: a little bit but not enough in those are your

1342
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: weekly NFL picks, brought to you. Buy Caesar's Rewards for

1345
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: That's next, not Texans All Access. We got one final

1346
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 1: segment of this edition of Texans All Access on a

1347
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: Friday evening, less than forty eight hours away from Texans v.

1348
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Titans in Nashville. Man the games in Nashville since twenty sixteen.

1349
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, since twenty sixteen. They've all had a little something.

1350
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen actually took place in twenty seventeen. We that

1351
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: was New Year's Day, twenty seventeen. That was the day

1352
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 1: of the Tom Savage concussion on a quarterback sneak brock

1353
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Oswather's got to go back in the game ta and

1354
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 1: unlock our room sort of thing rumored to have happened.

1355
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I heard the whole thing, So it happened. That was

1356
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. We went there and we

1357
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: remember we had all those guys that were injured. Oh

1358
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, JJ was injured, and Whitney was injured, and

1359
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: was Watson was injured, Nick Martin was injured. Everybody was hurt.

1360
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: And then on that day we got a bunch of

1361
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: receivers hurt. The only receivers we had in that game

1362
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen were DeAndre Hopkins. We had Bruce I'm sorry, uh,

1363
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: not Bruce Ellington, but his cousin Ellington. Andre Andre Ellington

1364
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: had no idea what to do none. He had to

1365
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: stand next to hop hop was telling him what to do.

1366
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson was a rookie wide receiver, had and played

1367
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: receiver all year, and we had one of the tight ends.

1368
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: I think it was maybe Ryan Griffin in that game.

1369
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember exactly, but we didn't have anybody

1370
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: anybody in that game. And yet Savage made an incredible

1371
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: throw on four down to keep us in it, but

1372
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: then he threw interception the end zone. Henry Scordon next

1373
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: play and it was over. Twenty eighteen was week two.

1374
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: We went there. They played playing Gabbert, they had no

1375
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: offensive linement healthy somehow beat us somehow, I mean, I

1376
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: still don't know how it happened. Twenty nineteen two teams

1377
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: tied nine and five, I'm sorry, eight and five. Three

1378
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: games left. We had Tennessee Tampa and then Tennessee again,

1379
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: so we were facing him twice in two weeks. It

1380
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 1: was a massive game. The winner more than likely it

1381
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: was gonna win ANFC South, and we went there and

1382
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: put it on him. Held Derrick Henry under eighty five

1383
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: yards and then he had like eighty three. Windie Merciless

1384
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 1: had interception, two touchdown catches by Kenny Stills and then

1385
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: one by a touchdown run by Carlos Hide put us

1386
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: in the lead. We held on one. That game one

1387
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: A division in twenty that was twenty nineteen. Twenty twenty

1388
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: was one of the best football games I've ever seen.

1389
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: It was crazy, back and forth, the back and forth.

1390
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: The fourth quarter was unreal. We couldn't stop Henry, they

1391
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the passing game. I mean, it was just unbelievable.

1392
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: And we decided to go for two after scoring a

1393
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 1: touchdown late that two and it's over. Got knocked down

1394
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: at that point. They took the ball, marched all the

1395
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 1: way down, scored in the last play basically the last

1396
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 1: play for regulation, won the toss, overtime, went all the

1397
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: way down, scored a touchdown in overtime, never saw the

1398
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: ball again. We went from a head seven, could have

1399
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: been nine, and the game's over too, never saw the

1400
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: ball again. Lost forty three to thirty seven. So games

1401
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: in Nashville have been Wow, they've just been nuts. Like

1402
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, the game there that was the JJ Watts

1403
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 1: selfie game where he kept taking selfies, fake selfies. If

1404
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: you know that story about Zach Mettenberger taking selfies before

1405
01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: the game, it really kind of riled up JJ and

1406
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: he sacked them. He kept taking selfies. There met some

1407
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: There been some wild games that I know I've been

1408
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: in silence for. Two thousand and nine was a game

1409
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: I was not in silence for. But it was a

1410
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: crazy game at the beginning the beginning of the year,

1411
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: I believe. I think there was a Joel Dreeson, Kyle Vandenbosch,

1412
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: Tanda Tann There's a fight at some point. I mean,

1413
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 1: it was just been nutty games. So I never know

1414
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen as we get crazy in the rain

1415
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. So in this final segment,

1416
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: we got two things to do. Number One, we're from

1417
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Thitnis Howard in just a second as Drew's final work

1418
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,839
Speaker 1: gets kicked off. But we got some Houston Methodist minutes

1419
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: with Mark Vandermiren. This week it's wrist injuries. It's Houston

1420
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: Methodist minutes with doctor Cours Jeffarnia of Houston Methodist. Doctor,

1421
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: how's it going today, fantastic, fantastic, Thanks for having me on. Well,

1422
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 1: it's always a pleasure. Let's talk about wrist injuries, and

1423
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: you and I have spoken before. Now the most common

1424
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 1: cause has to be people trying to break a fall,

1425
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: right am I? Right about out this that that's the

1426
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: most common type of injury you see. That's exactly right

1427
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: to extent that we have a mnemonics for. It's called

1428
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: a fush fall on an outstretched hand. So basically people

1429
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: are trying to catch themselves from falling on their face

1430
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: or their other body parts. They use, They put their

1431
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 1: hand out there, and then they break their injure their

1432
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: wrist somehow or another. What about athletes? Is it the

1433
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 1: same thing with them or do you see other causes

1434
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: of a wrist injury? Well, similar to that, but maybe

1435
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: a contact from you know, somebody coming at you a

1436
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: full force or a helmet or something along those lines,

1437
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: you know, trying to keep yourself from falling on the

1438
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: ground and staying on your legs instead of protecting your

1439
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: head from falling from you know, from a parking lot

1440
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: or something. But there's still the point is that everybody's

1441
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: trying to keep themselves from falling on a body part

1442
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: or getting a body part injured, so they use whatever

1443
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: they can, which is usually their wrist. So what usually

1444
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,759
Speaker 1: gets hurt, what breaks is it? What are the bones

1445
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: on the arm or the hand. What can you tell

1446
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: us about that, Well, technically a forearm bone, but it's

1447
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 1: really truly in their wrist. It's it's the radius it's

1448
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: called and then it's similar to what we call a

1449
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 1: college fracture an older person, but it's it's a disti

1450
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: radius fracture. So it's the far end of the forearm

1451
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 1: bone that articulates with the wrist joint. And that's that's

1452
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: the most common risk fracture to have. Now within the

1453
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: risk you have smaller bones, and one of the more

1454
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: common smaller bones, and we've seen this in professional athletes

1455
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: as well, is the skateboard bone that can fracture also,

1456
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 1: And those are the two fractures that happen in the wrist.

1457
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: What about wrist sprains though, so you have some ligaments involved.

1458
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 1: What about risk brains and how you recover from those? Sure, so,

1459
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: risk sprains occur whenever you have traumay and basically other

1460
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: a flex or extend, a posture or wrist and it's

1461
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: when there's force attached along with that component and you're

1462
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 1: trying to prevent certain force either up or down of

1463
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: your wrist. The ligaments that protect and connect the bones

1464
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,879
Speaker 1: can get sprained or really like they get stretched basically

1465
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: and we call them sprained, or they can tear. It's

1466
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: a hyper extension or hyperflection injury. All right. Now, we

1467
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 1: always hear about people with tendonitis in their elbows or knees.

1468
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 1: What about the wrist? So you can get tendonitis about

1469
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: the rist, and there are many tenants that can be involved,

1470
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: commonly on the outside of the rist. There's a very

1471
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: strong tenon on the top of the very starten in

1472
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 1: the bottom that can get over exerted and get inflammation

1473
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: around the tendons themselves, and that caused the tendonitis would

1474
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 1: usually respond to out of their antime flames or medication

1475
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,919
Speaker 1: or if need be, a steroid injection. Doctor, great information,

1476
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,719
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for the time. Sure thing my pleasure.

1477
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: Doctor Course Jaffarnia of Houston Methodist. Check him out Houston

1478
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,759
Speaker 1: Methodist dot org, the official healthcare provider of the Houston, Texans.

1479
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: Houston Methodist leading medicine. Great stuff there from Mark VanderMeer

1480
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: and the doctors at Houston Methodist. Now it's time to

1481
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 1: give Drew Doherty the final word. I started this is

1482
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 1: probably about four or five years ago, where I was

1483
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: trying to think of something. Drew had given me this

1484
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: interview and he's like, hey, man, use it if you want.

1485
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I like this. What am I gonna

1486
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: do this? Oh? I'm gonna make it Drew's final word.

1487
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the last thing you hear on our

1488
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: Texans radio broadcast as we go into the weekend and

1489
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 1: get ready for the game. So I called Drew's final word.

1490
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,640
Speaker 1: We've just tacked on Drew's dozen somewhere in between. So

1491
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: we separated Drew's dozen no football, we talked about Octopie,

1492
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: This one Drews final for word. We talk a lot

1493
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:18,799
Speaker 1: about football and getting ready for the game against the Titans.

1494
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: So here's Titus Howard with Drew Doherty. It's time for

1495
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,839
Speaker 1: the final word. Titus, always good to be with you.

1496
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: You got a week off, you had to buy So

1497
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 1: how necessary was that for you? How necessary was that

1498
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: for this football? Teamy think it's pretty necessary. I needed it.

1499
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: Got a chance to sit back, relaxed, get my feet up,

1500
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 1: actually rest and spend time with a family. So I

1501
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: enjoyed the bye week. Came back this week so much better. Yeah,

1502
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm ready to go for the second

1503
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: to half of the season and to make a push

1504
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: to win some games. Good stuff, But was the week

1505
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 1: of practice like after you have a little bit of

1506
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: time to yourself and a little bit time off like that.

1507
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: It is always a little bit, like you know, a

1508
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: little stuff you got to pick up on. In fakes,

1509
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: you don't the first couple of prices of getting back

1510
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 1: from a bye wee because you've been off the whole week.

1511
01:19:58,240 --> 01:19:59,680
Speaker 1: But I think as a you know, a team, we

1512
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: came out and we attack this week to get better,

1513
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: and I think we're doing a pretty good job. One

1514
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: of the things I know that you guys all want

1515
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: to improve is the run game. It's not just the

1516
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 1: offensive line, It's not just the running backs. It's it's

1517
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: a collective effort. How do you jiggle things? How do

1518
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: you make things better? They're running the football and have

1519
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 1: more a little more more success than you had that

1520
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: first half of the season. And the biggest thing is

1521
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 1: being consistent. Say this a lot, because that's one of

1522
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 1: the biggest thing our problem is being consistent. I think

1523
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: as a group we had to be more consistent on

1524
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 1: front and just more consistent as the offense. And one

1525
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: we would become more consistent and do our jobs each play.

1526
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: The running game would come within his own and I

1527
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 1: think that's one of the job we got to do

1528
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: this Sunday, would be more consistent on first, second, and

1529
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: third down, and then it should play out for usself.

1530
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: You know, in the first week and a half of

1531
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: the season and then leading up to that Dolphins game,

1532
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: you could tell, like you guys believe in Tyrod Taylor,

1533
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: there's a different vibe when he's on the field and

1534
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: when he's under center. He didn't play like he normally does.

1535
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: And that's talking about through his whole career in Miami.

1536
01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: He's pretty confident. That changes. How confident are you guys?

1537
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: That changes? Because it looked like it was just one

1538
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: of those hiccups and it's not something that he normally does, right, Yeah,

1539
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: just one of those days. And Tyrod knows it and

1540
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: we know it as an offense that we you know,

1541
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,560
Speaker 1: we trust him as our quarterback and we know that

1542
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: when we come back out this Sunday, he can get

1543
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: the job done. And I think the way he carries

1544
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: hisself every day speaks for itself. That type of guy

1545
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: he is, the type of player he is, and we

1546
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: know that we can look up to him and play

1547
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 1: in front of him and know that he's gonna carry

1548
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: us to the win. Yeah, you guys are playing the

1549
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: Titans is Sunday, the team you guys know very well.

1550
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: They're division foe, and lining up across from you're gonna

1551
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: see a little bit of Jeffrey Simmons. How good a

1552
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: players he? What sort of challenge is he? I think

1553
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: he's a very good player. I think that front actually

1554
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: all the guys him, De Nico, Harold Landry and those

1555
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: guys that Budd do pretty I don't know Budd playing

1556
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 1: this week, but I think they have a pretty good

1557
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: talented friend and Jeffrey. You know, he's hit hunch over

1558
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: there right now, and I'm looking forward to the challenge

1559
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: the block them all game, and I think I can

1560
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: get the job done. Three or four years ago, I

1561
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: was in Nashville that night that you were picked. He

1562
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: was picked a few picks ahead of you. It's funny

1563
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: how y'all's careers are sort of intertwined, hasn't it. Yeah,

1564
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: I've been pretty familiar with him since I came into

1565
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: the league. Like you said, I played, We played at

1566
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: Tennessee Dan then that division. So I like pretty much

1567
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: like known about him the whole time and kept up

1568
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: like how he doing, and like I played against him

1569
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: last year, and I think this year he came up

1570
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 1: to himself and he's actually making a name for him stuff,

1571
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: And I liked that. I'm just looking forward to it

1572
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: for the competition, you know, to get in and showed

1573
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 1: that I can block him, and you know, just showing that, Hey,

1574
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: yeah you might have Ben picked a couple of picks

1575
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: higher than me, but you know I can get the

1576
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: job done. All right, Let's see how you're powering game

1577
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: day sleep. How much do you get the night before

1578
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: saying noon game like when you go to bed, when

1579
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: you wake up? What's that like for you? Me being

1580
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: completely honest, we play at noon. I think we probably

1581
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: had to be a stay around nine. I probably go

1582
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: sleep around like ten thirty. Okay. What I do is

1583
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 1: I really can't eat on game days for some reason.

1584
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: So what I do is I load up the night

1585
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 1: before the game, and after I ate all that food,

1586
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I get tired and stuff. So I just talked to

1587
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: my wife and my daughter for a little while, right,

1588
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: and I just laid down to go sleep. So you

1589
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: keep it light game day. As far as eating, what

1590
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: are you listening to? As far as music? What do

1591
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: you get ready for the game with? If I'm being

1592
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: completely honest, I really don't even listen to music before, Okay,

1593
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Like I mostly like just be chilling, just talking to

1594
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: the guys, you know, just trying to get us, you know,

1595
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: get us ready for the game, like have a good

1596
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: ViBe's going. And when I listen to music, I feel

1597
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 1: like I'm all by myself and I'm just trying to

1598
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: be to myself. But I want to even interact with

1599
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: my guys. So when we got on the field, you know,

1600
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: we just feel it like it's a vibe going on

1601
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: and it'll be pretty chill and cool. I like it.

1602
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,639
Speaker 1: I hope the vibe is chilling, cool and victorious on Sunday.
