1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Here's the snap, four man rush firing Daffield and got 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: him man, rock and roll touchdown. Texans game day is 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, nice ball, Nice ball, five nights a week. 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: The hits keep on coming. Wows, We're gonna do our quarterback. No, 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: it's Texans All Excess. Welcome in to Texans All Access 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday dpcity along with Mark Man. Where you 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: joining you once again, following up an hour with aj 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: Moore here in studio. Mark. I like catching up with Aj. 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: I like reminiscing about his twin brother CJ. I'm glad 10 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: he's back out on the field for special teams because 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of changes to get to here, 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: a lot of things to get to. Man. You know, Whitney, 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: We've had so many great shows with him. We've had 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: so many great moments with him on the field. It's 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: funny because he's had some bizarre moments too, Like the 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: time Blake bortles through an interception off Whitney's foot. Right 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: he threw the ball, it caramed off his foot and 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: then I forget who picked it off ultimately, but he 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: came off Whitney's foot, And the time that firks are 20 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: the tight end for the Titans. We saw last night 21 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football at the time, the ball caramed 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: off him off the hit from Justin Reid and Whitney 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: got it and ran in a long way into scoring 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: range for the Texans, and just stuff like that. But 25 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, those are just a couple that stand out 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: to me. Had that huge three sack game back in 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen had outstanding seasons 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: when the Texans were ranked second and first, respectively in defense. 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: And the twenty sixteenth season, you had no JJ Watt. 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: He was lost in Week three and the team finished 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: number one in total defense with Clowney and Whitney really 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: leading the way up front. That was a cool time 33 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: because he didn't have JJ and you were still able 34 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: to make some real hay there defensively. There's so many moments, 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: there's so many instances, and Whitney so visible, so gregarious, 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: and he'll be missed. What can you say. We've said 37 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: goodbye to a lot of guys over the years. That's 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: the nature of pro football. And here's another one. I mean, 39 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: I think I'll really miss He did some great things 40 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: in the community with Mercy, his a charity where they 41 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: would raise money for kids that needed at home medical equipment. 42 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: His sister was a nurse. He was so passionate about that. 43 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: I'll always remember our shows at food ruckers where Whitney 44 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: and I would talk about food and then you and 45 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: Drew would look like he would glaze over. He even 46 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: talking about Haitian food. He loved Haitian food. He loved 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: to travel a lot of times that you know, before 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: COVID hit. It was like twenty nineteen after the Texans 49 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: one of the playoffs. Remember it was locker clean out day, 50 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: and I was asking Whitney about, you know, the off season, 51 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: what he was planning on doing, and we were talk 52 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: about places that we'd like to travel, and he had 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: told me he wants to go to India one day, 54 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: and he was going to go to Africa. And then 55 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: little did we know COVID was about to hit three 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: months later. Nobody was going to go anywhere. But you know, 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: I just felt like he was one of those guys. 58 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: He was, you know, a savant. You could talk to 59 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: him about anything, and I hope one day comes back 60 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: and he's, you know, a Texans legend and he's doing 61 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: great things here and we're gonna have one shows again 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: because he was always great and on the field, I 63 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: think some of his best battles have come against Jacksonville 64 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Like in the division, all the sacks that 65 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: he would get, fumble recovery twenty sixteen Andrew luck after 66 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: the strip. Oh was it the strip by Clowney? Yeah, 67 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: Clowney stripped at Whitney recovered it and the cults were 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: about the score. So that was a huge moment right there. 69 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: Sorry that jumped out. Now. He I think he's had 70 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: some great, great battles within the division and made some 71 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: really big plays. He'll be sadly missed. And then that 72 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen when him and JJ Wapp both got injured 73 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: in that Kansas City game, bizarre. That was just so 74 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: because I remember that entire game. I was just saying everything, 75 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: I can't believe both those guys injured on the same drive, 76 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: stunned of the same game plays apart. And then he 77 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: came back, he had he had the twin peck. He 78 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: came back, he was as good as new. And he's 79 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: been through it. He's been through all the different defensive coordinators, 80 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: he's changed positions. He's been asking to different things. Sometimes 81 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: he'd beat going after the quarterback and get a ton 82 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: of sacks, and then they asked him to just, you know, 83 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: do his job, and he got very little sacks, and 84 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: everybody's wondering what happened to Whitney on the stat She 85 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: remember Romeo Cornell saying, well, this is what we asked 86 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: him to do. He's doing exactly what we asked him 87 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: to do. They've always loved him, you know, he got 88 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: that final the third contract because they loved him. They 89 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: thought he was a terrific player, a great guy to 90 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: have around, but also an edge setter. It wasn't about sacks. 91 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't about those kinds of things. Sometimes the other 92 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: guy gets the tackle credit because you forced him back inside. 93 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: This is what I try to teach to kids in 94 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: flag football. It's a team game, and it doesn't matter 95 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: who gets the credit, who gets the final play. Everybody 96 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: contributed to making the play or creating the opportunity to 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: make the play. Yeah, and I know you interviewed Nick 98 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: Kassirio played that cut a little bit earlier about some 99 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: of the other guys getting opportunities. So John Grenard obviously 100 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: playing great in these last few games. We'd see more 101 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: of him, more of some of the other guys that 102 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: you know on the D line. A lot of rotation 103 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: happening there, but you know he will be missed, and 104 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, you just go from there. It's it's a business, 105 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: and Whitney's posted about it on social media and off 106 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: we go. Here. Well, we put a nice video up 107 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: and it's on my twitter feed, it's on the Texans 108 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Twitter feed of Whitney, and it's really nice about his 109 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: stuff in the community and on the field, and a 110 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: blend of highlights there and moments, so enjoy that. And 111 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned Jonathan Grenard now the team leader in SAX 112 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: with four Jacob Martin. He's done some things. They're gonna 113 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: get more playing time now. It felt like it feels 114 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: like at times at various position groups they are really 115 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: going all out to get as many guys in the 116 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: game as possible. I know they want to keep people fresh, 117 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: but sometimes I'm thinking, did you want to lead those 118 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: guys in if they get hot like a running back. 119 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: You know, we haven't seen Scottie Phillips yet, but you know, 120 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: if Ingram's going good, I know Ingram can't run forever. 121 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: He's in his eleventh year, but he ran well against India. 122 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean that was his best day since opening day, 123 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: the best day as a team running the football since 124 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: opening day. And sometimes you want to see certain guys 125 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: over others. Maybe I don't know how they think of it. 126 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: That's a great question for coach Kelly. I know they 127 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: want an ensemble at various position groups, but maybe the 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: upped reps of Grenard Martin whoever else that's going to 129 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: make a difference in the pass rush or at least 130 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: in their development as you move forward here throughout the season. Yeah, 131 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: it's interesting how different position groups approach it differently, Like 132 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: some position groups want to see a rotation right, keep 133 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: guys fresh, and then others, like I know, Tim Kelly 134 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: has talked about the running backs room as much as 135 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: they say running back by committee. Tim Kelly has come 136 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: out and said we'll go with the hot hand. And 137 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: it seems like Ingram definitely gets more yards after contact yea, 138 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: and so gets more and even if yeah, and even if, 139 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: even if the yards are not showing up on the 140 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: stat sheet, Ingram seems to be more effective and hopefully 141 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: that continues after Indianapolis. I was pleasantly surprised by the 142 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: old line with three guys, three starters out, how well 143 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: the old line was able to run block that that 144 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: was awesome. I mean awesome might be too strong a 145 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: word because you weren't able to score, but it was notable. 146 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: How you had three guys out, brit out, you have 147 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: the two tackles out, Cannon's out for the year, you 148 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: have Laramie out, and you're going with Christian and Heck 149 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: on the ends, and then in the middle McCray, and 150 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: you run it better than you have since opening day 151 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: against a pretty decent defense. I thought it was highly notable. Plus, 152 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's not an onslot into the backfield at 153 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback. They gave up a couple of sacks. Again, 154 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: they're not giving up huge numbers in sacks. You know, 155 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: Mills is getting rid of the football. It's just that 156 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: when he does get sacked, it just feels big because oh, 157 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: you killed another drive, oh or you're way behind the 158 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: sticks on this particular opportunity, and they're just not scoring 159 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: enough points. I know that sounds pretty basic, but it's true, 160 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: and I want to see more of the line. What 161 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: they're capable of doing next time. Arizona coming up obviously 162 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: a good defense. Hey, they played a very close game 163 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: with San Francisco with their joint. I'm not saying the 164 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: Texans defense is like San Francisco, but this Texans defense 165 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: does keep you in games. You just have to be 166 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: able to produce points wise and make some things happen 167 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: that way, especially if you can play the second half 168 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: much like you play the first half. It seems like 169 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: they're in all these games in the first half and 170 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: the second half things just sort of spiral out of control. 171 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: And I know they keep saying we've got to play 172 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: all four quarters, but it's so true because when you 173 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: look at the score at halftime, it's always close and yeah, 174 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: totally reachable. They just got to put up the points 175 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: and not turn the ball over all. Right, as far 176 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: as Tyrod Taylor goes, he could return to practice this week. 177 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: David Coley was asked about him on Monday. We won't 178 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: know until the practice report comes out tomorrow, and we'd 179 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: actually physically go to practice, but he's still an injured reserve. 180 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: If he's designated to return, that would open up his 181 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: practice window for twenty one days and they could put 182 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: him on the active roster's earliest Sunday's game at Arizona. Well, 183 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: that'd be nice to see him because he adds another 184 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: dimension to this offense. You know he was throwing the 185 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: ball well, I like the way he threw the ball 186 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: at for most of the preseason. Right, he didn't throw 187 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: it that many times in a preseason. He didn't get 188 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: that many reps in the preseason. Then you come out 189 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. He plays really well, first half against Cleveland, 190 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: really well. Hamstring gone halftime, and that's all we've seen 191 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: of him. So I'd love to see him again. Now, 192 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: Doctor Vandermeyer has no help here when it comes to 193 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: evaluating players. You know, my evaluation of players as they 194 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: walk through the hallway and whether they'll be ready or not. 195 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: I can't tell with Tyrod because he, you know, he's 196 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: got a hamstring. He can ever tell with those things. 197 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: I saw Richard Sherman walk off the field on Thursday night. 198 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: He walks just fine, but don't ask him to run right. 199 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: So it's not like I can work out to Rod, 200 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: say hey, can you run down the hall for me 201 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 1: just so I see how that hamstrings doing. So I 202 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: can't help anybody here with speculation. I'm just hoping he 203 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: gets out there. I like seeing Mills play and develop, 204 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: and I think it's a good thing for Mills and 205 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: maybe for the team's future. However, as Cully said, Taylor's 206 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, and you want to see the starting 207 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: quarterback in the lineup, and you know there's probably gonna 208 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: be another opportunity for Mills to play down the line 209 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: if Taylor comes back this week. So we'll see how 210 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: it goes. Means a six and o Cardinals team. And 211 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: did you like how I was asking a Jim? Were 212 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: all those hamstring questions? Now? That was good? I thought 213 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: that was really interesting because here we have a guy 214 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: who's done it. Yeah, it's like I don't understand how 215 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: hamstrings work. Like so you feel like it's okay, but 216 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: they don't think you're ready yet. What does it take 217 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: to feel ready? But I thought he did a good 218 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: job done running and you work out a lot. I've 219 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: never strained my hamstring. Now I'm a little worried that 220 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: I need to be drinking more because I don't want 221 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: to be dehydrated and string my hamstring. Then I'm out 222 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: for am I'll tell you what I've played. You know, 223 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: I played a lot of pick up basketball, right, and 224 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm not playing this season because I get tested once 225 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: a week, and I think basketballs is just buoy a 226 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: base of germs, you know, never mind COVID, everything else too, 227 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: colds flues. So I said, you know, during a football season, 228 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: when I'm getting tested, not playing the hoops. So I'm 229 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: running every morning anyway. But I and running, I feel nothing, 230 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: no injury, pain or whatever. My knees a little bit. 231 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: But basketball, I've felt it before where it's like, ooh, 232 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: you feel it tightened up the hamstring, and that feels 233 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: like something could really go wrong if I overdo that. 234 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: But of course I don't pay attention to it. I 235 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: try to stretch it out a little bit then keep playing. 236 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: But I felt like that kind of tinge in there, 237 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: And I can only imagine what they feel must hurt 238 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: because I hear about this and AJ Moore talked about it. 239 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: It does hurt when you rip that thing, it hurts. 240 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: And they're various grades, right, if not a Houston Methods 241 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: minutes on this, a couple of them where they talk 242 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: about the different degrees of hamstring injuries because they're not 243 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: all the same. I mean, you can have full tear 244 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: or slight pole or whatever the case is. So who knows. 245 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: It must be pretty bad because it's been four weeks. 246 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: So either it's been it was worse than we thought originally, 247 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: or he tried to come back on the field and 248 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: work out and do all those things AJ's talking about 249 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: and maybe made it worse or reaggravated or whatever. They 250 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: are not going to say because they don't have to 251 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: when he's on IR. So let's just hope he can 252 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: come back a SAP and play for this football team. 253 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I think they're just taking their time with it. I 254 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: feel like even with AJ, he said he thought he 255 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: was ready a week ago, they still didn't let him 256 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: come out and play because they wanted to make sure. 257 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Just because you feel like you're okay, let's make sure 258 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: you don't have any setbacks another week or so. Give 259 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: another week or so, because we've seen hamstring injuries in 260 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: the past. Like guys get a hamstring injury, they come back, 261 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: then they're out, They play a game, then they're out 262 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: for three. Remember Chris Paul in the Western Conference finals, 263 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: and I remember that, and there was this choice there though, well, 264 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: this is the NBA, and you're thinking, and I see 265 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: it in the NFL. Okay, guys like you're not ready 266 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: for next week. And the next game in the NBA 267 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: is two days from now, maybe three if you're lucky. Right, 268 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: it's not happening. He's not playing. There's no chance something 269 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: that keeps you out that night where you're gonna go 270 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: to the locker room. You're not coming back in two 271 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: days from that in all likelihood, right, you might be 272 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: able to hop around. They got a pogo stick, but 273 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: those guys tend to need their athletic moves to be effective. 274 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: So it's one of those mysterious injuries. And it's got 275 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: to frustrate that because these guys are in such tremendous shape, 276 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: How can this happen? Why don't normal humans pull hamstrings? 277 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: Because we're not running forty yards sprints on the sidewalk, 278 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: So that's why. But what's amazing is that AJ came 279 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: back and then he ran top speed against the Colts. 280 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: He had the top speed or no, he said he 281 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: got beat out by Lonnie, but he had the second 282 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: top speed. So when you do come back, yeah, but 283 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: maybe you'll come back and then you know, it's like 284 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: you're as good as new if you just take that 285 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: extra week or ten days or two weeks or whatever. 286 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: So something to keep an eye on. I was asked 287 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: about it by Arizona Cardinals. They interviewed me. We do 288 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: this Hynamy sidelines, so I interviewed them. They interviewed me 289 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: and they were asking who the starting quarterback is going 290 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: to be for Sunday's game. And I said, that's a 291 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: great question. It's something that we're keeping our eye on. 292 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: Because you said we're going to sign somebody. It's a mystery. 293 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: It's a surprise. And by surprise, I mean nobody knows yet. 294 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: Because the practice up. Did they ask you about the 295 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: two former Texans that are there. They did. They asked 296 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: if this team was fired up to play them, and 297 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: I said, well, they would be, except it's it's different players. 298 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: The team has changed so much since even twenty twenty. 299 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: I told them how we had fifty three different players 300 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: in training camp, fifty three new players, and then that 301 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: one twenty nineteen with Hopkins. I mean, there's a few 302 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: players that are still left from that time, but for 303 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: the most part, it's a lot of new guys. They 304 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: don't it's not going to be the same. I told them, 305 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: what's what's going to be harder is for the fans 306 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: to stomach seeing those two in a different jersey because 307 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: they were first round draft picks. They played their entire 308 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: career here and now they're playing in a different uniform. 309 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: And that's gonna be hard for all of us to 310 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: see because they certainly were very prolific when they were here, 311 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: and you want them to retire as Texans and they're not. 312 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: So it's hard to see your former player on another team. 313 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: But I told them the silver lining is that they're 314 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: it's both for the same team, and it's gonna be 315 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: in the same games. We rip off the bandit and 316 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: we move forward. Your had to face JJ one week, 317 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: and then Hopkins next week, and then another player the 318 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: third game. Like that's nobody wants to do that. It's 319 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: a good point because I'm watching highlights of the Cardinals 320 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: and I see Hop and Hop was with them last year, 321 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: of course, and Hop to me, in a cardinal uniform, 322 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: he looks better than JJ does in a cardinal uniform. 323 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: JJ to me, looks totally out of place in a 324 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: cardinal uniform. Yeah, but she played for Wisconsin, where he 325 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: wore red and white, but it's not the same. They 326 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: wear that white and red combo and they have the 327 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: bird on the helmet. To me, any, I guess any 328 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: kind of big guy doesn't look right in a Cardinal 329 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: uniform to me. But what to me, it just seems 330 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: strange now, hop you know, to me he's always a Texans, 331 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, that does hurt to see him play for 332 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. But the skill guys look better in those 333 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: unis to me, look more natural or more associated with it, 334 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: like it just belongs than a big dude like JJ Watt. 335 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: But still, as far as seeing former Texans and other uniforms, 336 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: it's not as bad to me as say, Andre Johnson 337 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: as a cult that was the all time hurt, and 338 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: then he made it well, you know what the cults 339 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: were one thing. How about the Titans mark now? But 340 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Adrey Johnson as a Titan, how do you feel about that? Oh, 341 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: thanks for showing me this now. And the funny thing 342 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: is he had zero touchdowns until the Texans played the Colts. Yeah, 343 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: and then he finally catches two against the Texans off 344 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck in a diaper in that game in twenty 345 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: fifteen on a Thursday night, and that one really stung 346 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: the following year for the Titans. Hey, he's not really 347 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: doing well. He's doing worse actually than he did with 348 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: the Cults. But he has a touchdown against the Texans, 349 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, great, thank you very much. Some of 350 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: those do hurt, and this one's going to be one 351 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: of those days. But look, I know the Cardinals are undefeated. 352 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: As far as the Texans being fired up to play 353 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: those two guys, yeah, most of these players don't care 354 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: or don't even note that. But what they're fired up 355 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: about is playing an undefeated team and trying to knock 356 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: them off. That's what's going to fire up this squad, 357 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: I said, I said, the most important thing to this 358 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: team is just getting a win and getting back in 359 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: the winning column. It doesn't even matter who they're playing 360 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday, So the world's gonna notice. I agree with you. 361 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter to them that it's jaj Ande Hopp. 362 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: It matters more that it's just they need to get 363 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: a win, and it matters probably to everyone else. So 364 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: to Houstonian, seeing former players in different uniforms, it's weird. 365 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: It's the first time everybody you know what, every team 366 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: in the league goes through this. We just live inside 367 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: here so that we feel no think about the Patriots 368 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: where you have a guy like Kyle van Noy who 369 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: plays with them, then goes to the Dolphins, but then 370 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: comes back to the Patriots, right, so that would be 371 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: like a guy coming back here, you know, which doesn't 372 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: really happen. I'm sure it has, but I just you know, well, 373 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: it's been players like Elbert Mac, you know, Return of 374 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: the Mac and people like that who have done it. 375 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: Quentin Demps. We had Quentin Demp's go and come back. Yeah, 376 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: and he came back, but nobody no all time great 377 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: kind of player, not that Van Noise and all time 378 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: great for the Patriots, but he's a valuable contributor. I 379 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: was excited when Antonio Smith came back after when You're 380 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: right that I liked it for me personally, I loved 381 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: interviewing him. He did the he did the Original Players 382 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: Show back in twenty thirteen, and that was my first 383 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: year and that was a tough season to go through, 384 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: and he made it great. He was so entertaining, he 385 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: was so much I wish he lived in Houston. I 386 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: wish he did too. I think I got him for 387 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: a pregame show, and everybody wanted to know, like all 388 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: of our videographers are new. They weren't here when when 389 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: Tone was here earlier? And there are you so excited? 390 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: I said, just wait, he has different characters. He's going 391 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: to predict the future. He will be a ninja, He'll 392 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: do whatever we tell him to do. On the nose 393 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: stuff with Antonio as Tone Stradams. I see wins in future, 394 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: wins and losses in their future. I do not know 395 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: who will win or who will lose, but there will 396 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: be wins and there will be losses. But to your 397 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: point about seeing were great days, he has some quotable quote. 398 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: We need a tone Stradamus on that. Maybe we don't. Okay, 399 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: that's great. He never predicted anything bad for us. But 400 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: as far as players, I would think that New England 401 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: seeing Tom Brady back in the Bucks uniform after winning 402 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I would imagine that would have been that 403 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: had to hurt, like a are you kidding? They just 404 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: want a super Bowl? A Bowl and there, Yeah, don't 405 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: say it, Cardinals, see this is what this is what works? 406 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: You think I'm going down this road? Well, I'm just 407 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: thinking as I'm thinking, I'm saying, don't say it, Mark, 408 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: but I'm about to say it. So the Cardinals here, 409 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,239 Speaker 1: they are defeated and going into last night's Monday Night 410 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: or I was thinking maybe Buffalo against the Cardinals, right, 411 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: that could happen in a Super Bowl, could happen. Right. 412 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to predict anything because I don't really 413 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: do that much. But I did tell Johnny and Andrea 414 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: I might have done this on the air. Then I 415 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: thought Tennessee had a decent shot to beat Buffalo last night. 416 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because Derrick Henry when they're going good, they're 417 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: a tough, hard nosed team, and if he gets going, 418 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: they can beat anybody. They did when they beat the 419 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: Ravens when they were the number one seed. I know 420 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: that this is a team that just lost to the 421 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: Jets a few weeks ago. Okay, I got that, But 422 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: Tennessee is capable of a performance like that like last night. Now, 423 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: Never in my wildest dreams did I think that they 424 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: would put up a goal line stand. Josh Allen is 425 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: supposed to be an elite quarterback now where he's one 426 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: of those guys where if he has the ball late, 427 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: you're dead. Right with time left, you're dead. You're dead. 428 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: He's at least gonna get the field goal. But they 429 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, if it's fourth and five, they're gonna kick it, right, 430 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: but it's fourth in less than a yard, we're definitely 431 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: going for it. Oh we didn't make it. That was 432 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: le believable last night. But the point is this, so 433 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm you know, back to the Cardinals thing. Look, I 434 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna make the super Bowl or not. 435 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: We get a long way to go. This is six 436 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: and ol. Good for them, We have a long way 437 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: to go here. A lot can happen. You have a 438 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: seventeen game season, you have to survive injuries. Then you 439 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: get into the postseason where anything can happen. They should 440 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: have the top seed. They would right now the playoffs 441 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: started today, but they don't. You eleven games left, they 442 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: could go on a two or three game losing streak 443 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, whoop, the rams come up 444 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: or something like that. You just don't know how it's 445 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: all going to play out. You just gotta go week 446 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: to week. They were eight and eight last year, right, 447 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: I felt like last year the arrow was pointing up 448 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: for them, and then something. They just sort of flamed 449 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: out there in the middle there. But I mean, I 450 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: do think this is the different they're all in. I mean, 451 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: they signed Zach they traded for Zach Ert. That's yeah, 452 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: that's a go for it kind of move right there, 453 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: is it for them? I mean I feel like they 454 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: should like to the center of the table. Ships are 455 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: all in the center. They feel like they've got this 456 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: window in they're in it. So I mean, if the 457 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Texans can can go out and and play them and 458 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: play them hard and sort of bounce back, that would 459 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: mean a lot for them for the LOTO. Oh my god, 460 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: that would mean so much for the morale of this 461 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: team right now. Look, the only time that you've taken 462 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: on an undefeated team this late, if you will, and 463 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: you won, was a time where you weren't going good 464 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: at all, when you were two and five, then three 465 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: and five, after beating a Tennessee team that wasn't very good, 466 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: and you go to Cincinnati Monday of football, they're eight 467 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: and o and they were a pretty solid eight. No, 468 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: they looked good, and no one gave the Texans a 469 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: chance in that game, and the Texans won that game 470 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: ten to six. I'm not saying they're gonna do that 471 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: this time. But this is the NFL, baby, any you know, 472 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: it's thirty two teams. It's not like one versus one hundred. 473 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: It's one versus thirty two, thirty twenty eight. Wherever you 474 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: might be ranked or whatever, it doesn't matter. You're gonna 475 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 1: line up and play, and let's just see if they 476 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: can put together a good performance. All right. Well, the 477 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: Texans are also playing to release Twelve year veteran Andre 478 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: Roberts recorded ninety one return yards on four returns at Indianapolis. 479 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: But it was tough sledding for Roberts, who the Texans 480 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: really hope would add something to their return Yeah, and 481 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: we talked to Nick about that as well. Look, Roberts 482 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: was not who he was, right he was. This is 483 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: a guy who was all world as a returner and 484 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: he just wasn't here. Now was it all his fault? 485 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that because I don't know all 486 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: the intricacies of special teams. I mean, is he getting 487 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: the blocks or not? I do know this that teams 488 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: were more than willing to kick off to him. Let's 489 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: kick it to Roberts, and it wasn't again, just him. 490 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Our special teams kick return group has not done the 491 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: job they want to do. You know, Frank Ross is 492 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: the first guy to say we got to do better. 493 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: They're kicking, they're kicking off to us tons of times 494 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: because they feel like they could put us inside the 495 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: twenty five at the very least, and they have done 496 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 1: it so and Roberts was bringing it out from the 497 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: two yard deep area also when maybe he should have 498 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: taken a knee because he couldn't get past the twenty 499 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: on occasion. And again I say that, I hate to 500 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: say he in this instance because it's a group effort, 501 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: but maybe a Desmond King or one of these other 502 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: guys can do a better job, because it didn't look 503 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: like he had the jets the way he used to. 504 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: You know, he's been in the league a long time. 505 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't last forever. Well, it was so much fun 506 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: to watch him in OTAs in this offseason. But and 507 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: then in training camp. I don't know what he tweaked, 508 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: but he was out for a long time. He missed 509 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: most of training camp, he missed the preseason. I always 510 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: wonder if maybe that had something to do with her. 511 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: Maybe it was just age. But the muffed punt in Cleveland. 512 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: Oh that was not good. That was just such a 513 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: and I just felt like, and this is just me hypothesizing, 514 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: I felt like every time he got the ball, he 515 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: was trying to compensate for that he was trying to 516 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: make something. Yes, he was trying to make something happen, 517 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 1: whereas you know you don't have to return it from 518 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: the two yards. I forgot you forgotten reminded me about 519 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: muff punt that was that is painful. And I feel 520 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: like he never quite overcame that. He was always trying 521 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: to make something, and he every time a couple of aall, 522 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: I didn't have the same confidence I had in him 523 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: as I did in the off season. Why I would 524 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: watch this team has to avoid those early miss kill, 525 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: but particularly the early mistakes that kind of set the 526 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: tone for a rough, uphill day, and that was one 527 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: of them. But Desmond King, you know, to see what 528 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: he's done in the preseason, and I've had a chance 529 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: to talk to him, he's a lot He's a lot 530 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: of fun to watch. He's got a lot of speed, 531 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people were wondering why 532 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: doesn't he come out and return and he was asked 533 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: about it a few weeks ago and he said, it's 534 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: Andre Robert's job. I'm just here to do what I 535 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: need to do. But he was second team All Pro 536 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen. He had in that year twenty 537 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: three pounds for three hundred and eighteen yards and he 538 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: had a touchdown. And he had twenty two kickoff returns 539 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: for five hundred and twenty two yards twenty three point 540 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: seven average. So he's speedy, he's good, he's a great returner. 541 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: I've seen Danny a. Mendola return kicks and practice before too. 542 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: Now I been a minute, it's been a minute since 543 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: he's done it. And the hamstring not a good no, 544 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: but it's it doesn't remind you of like several years 545 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: ago when we would be at training camp and they'd 546 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: have a line of guys returning kicks and like Arian 547 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: Foster was one of them and Congo line. It was 548 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: like a comma. Everyone's trying their hand at every returning kicks. 549 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: But I do think at least you've got Desmond King 550 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: in there and you see what he can do. Boy, 551 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, and you don't want to have When Andre 552 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: Johnson was here, I remember I remember being at the 553 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: University of Miami. Was it there or was it here? 554 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: The early days, one of the assistant coaches told me, look, 555 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: you have Andre Johnson. You'd be the greatest kick returner 556 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: in the history of football. But you're not going to 557 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: do that with him, right because you don't want to 558 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: hurt him. But my goodness, would that be great. I'm thinking, gee, 559 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: let's do that. You know, you know it'd be pretty good. 560 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: Is David Johnson. He's got the body type to do it. 561 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: Who knows what they come up with here? This is 562 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: going to be interesting. Yeah. I like Desmond King. I 563 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: like that he's done it before. He's been a lot 564 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: of fun to watch. But he's also really important on 565 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: defense right now. I mean, he's starting, so you definitely 566 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: don't want to put any of your starters in that position. 567 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: But if they can make some plays on special teams 568 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: and get you in good fuel position, let's try it. 569 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: Let's see how it goes. I'm all for it. All right, 570 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: let's take a break, we come back, we'll talk a 571 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: little bit more about Arizona, and then we'll go around 572 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: the NFL.

It is Arizona Week. You know the 618 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: date on your calendar that you, yeah, a blacked out, 619 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: blacked out of JJ Watt Deandrew Hopkins and the Texans 620 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: certainly not where they wanted to be at this point 621 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: in the season. And the Arizona Cardinals march and ahead 622 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: at six and oh, but a great challenge for this 623 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: Texans team. And Mark, I know you had talked to 624 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: John McClean about it earlier in the week. And it 625 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: is interesting where Arizona was just a few years ago 626 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: cared to where they are now. How they get Murray 627 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft, right, That's how they 628 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: got them because they were the worst team in the league. 629 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: That's how they got them, and now look at them. 630 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: They're undefeated. And look, there's no guarantee that when you 631 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: bought them out, you're gonna go right back up. And 632 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: there's no saying that the Texans are gonna bottom out 633 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: this year. I know one in five doesn't look very good, 634 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: and you feel like, oh my gosh, you're a gigantic 635 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: underdog to this undefeated team this Sunday. It's a week 636 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: to week thing. But the point is this, obviously you're 637 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: struggling right now. You struggled last year, and there's no 638 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: guarantee you're gonna come out of it. We have these conversations. 639 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: You look at the Houston Astros right during the Texans history, 640 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: right the Astros in the ohs when they got Clemens 641 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: and Pettit to join Oswalt, and they had that rotation, 642 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: and they had the dynamite bullpen and every day and 643 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: they had good hitters with Bagwell, Biggio, etc. They got 644 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: Carlos Beltron, they got all these great players. They went 645 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: to the World Series, they went to the A to 646 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: the NLCS twice. Right, they've been in seven lcs's because 647 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: now they're in the americanly seven LCS is and They've 648 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: been to the World Series twice, right three times, Rather 649 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: they lost twice, they won one. And this year is 650 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: not complete yet, good luck tonight. Not complete yet. The 651 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: point is this, they've done a lot of stuff, but 652 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: they bottomed out and they built it back up. Now 653 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: the Texans. You know, I get it in football, basketball, baseball, 654 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: you get better draft choices. You have to draft well, 655 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: that's the thing. And last year you didn't get the 656 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: benefit of a draft choice in the first or second 657 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: round because obviously you spent that draft currency previously, so 658 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: you didn't get the pop from having a four and 659 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: twelve record. This year. Whatever, if you don't have a 660 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: good record this year, you're gonna get the pop. You're 661 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna get those draft choices. Plus you might make a 662 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: very trade and get more picks that way, and we'll 663 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: see how it goes and they can build back up 664 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: that way. And I like what they put together with 665 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: a lot of these players. They're just not getting it 666 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: done on the field right now. Turnovers, they're not getting 667 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: into the end zone enough. Your starting quarterback got hurt. 668 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: You had to play a rookie on a team that 669 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: can't afford to make mistakes. You can't have that rookie 670 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: have that coziness to develop on a veteran team that's 671 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: really put together for a run. So it'll be interesting 672 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: to see how the Texans come out of this. And 673 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals came out of their situation very nicely, thank you, 674 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: and they've added pieces around Kyler Murray and they're playing 675 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: really well. Right. I mean, Cliff Kingsbury was on the 676 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: hot seat. I mean I didn't know even when he 677 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: was hired, nobody was super sold on that. And last year, 678 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, he there was there was a lot of 679 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: attention on him and would he make it through and 680 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: then yeah. I mean what's amazing is that on Sunday 681 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: he didn't even travel with the team because he had COVID. 682 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: He's the first head coach in the NFL to miss 683 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: a game this year because he has COVID. He has 684 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: his assistant wide receivers coach right go and call plays 685 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: along with Vance Joseph and they still they still handily 686 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: beat Cleveland, which is interesting that it was his assistant 687 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: wide receivers go. So that's Spencer Whipple, who a lot 688 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: of people were like he should get the game ball 689 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: for calling that. And I wondered when I had my 690 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: interview with Arizona, the Arizona Cardinal Danny surrect today. I go, 691 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: do you think that because they did so well at Cleveland, 692 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: that Cliff Kingsbury will make some changes to the play calling, 693 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: because you know what, that worked out pretty well for 694 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: Maybe he should delegate, maybe he'll get some ideas. She said, no, 695 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: he's not going to delegate. What's the play where Murray 696 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: runs around like crazy, avoiding people, then throws to somebody 697 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: who might happen to be open. Is that like drawn up? 698 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: You know, we've seen some plays like that around here 699 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: in recent years where it's like, yeah, do that one 700 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: where somebody kicks you in the eye and you roll 701 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: out to the right and throw to somebody in the 702 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: in the end zone who happens to be open. Backyard football. 703 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: So I talked about this on the air a little 704 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: bit yesterday on Texans Monday. But Spencer Whipple is the 705 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,719 Speaker 1: son of Mark Whipple, who is the head coach at UMass. 706 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: When I was there, okay, nineteen ninety eight, they won 707 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: the national championship in Division one Double A now FCS, 708 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: and Spencer Whipple then was nine years old deep when 709 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: I met him, so he won't remember me because he 710 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: was nine. But I think this is interesting. Are you 711 00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: gonna gosh, you know this is good? I made the Joe. 712 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if I did this on the air 713 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: or not. But little kids that I knew who are 714 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: now head coaches or assistant coaches in the NFL, Matt Lafleur, 715 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: his little brother, Mikey, and now you've got Spencer with 716 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: the starting quarterbacks. Derek Carry used to Derek Carr, thank 717 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: you for making me feel worse. Little kids that I 718 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: knew that are now big time members of the National 719 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: Football League. Thanks. And I still the thing is, I 720 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: still feel exactly the same age as I did when 721 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: I knew those guys as kids. I just do I 722 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: feel that way. Yes, this is what happens to get older. 723 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: You just feel like your age is frozen in probably 724 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: your your best time, and you don't feel any I 725 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: feel the same way. I feel like I'm just eternally 726 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,959 Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. I'm just like I'm older than 727 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: you understand, and I really am twenty eight. Everybody who's listening. 728 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: But I thought Andrew luck when you met Andrew for 729 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: the first time, he said, I grew I grew up 730 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: listening to you on the radio, Luck, And he's like 731 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: thirty five now or whatever he is. He's not thirty five, 732 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: but he might be. How was years ago that he 733 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: said that? It was years ago I grew up listening 734 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: to you. But it may sense because in two thousand 735 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: and two, how old was you? Get it? Terrible? I think. 736 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: I think for us it really changed when we started 737 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: drafting players that said I grew up as a Texans fan. 738 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: That's when you knew new Organs that grew up we 739 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: just started two weeks ago. That's when you know that 740 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: the organization has been around long enough. When when guys 741 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: that are coming to the league grew up watching, especially 742 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: guys that grew up in the Houston area. It's the 743 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: twentieth season, and you know, I remember two thousand. I could. 744 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: I could give you week to week the two thousand 745 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: and sixth season, right, and it's or seven or pick 746 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: a year, right, I could. I could pretty much do 747 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: it on the money, and you know whether we won 748 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: or lost, and who we played and how the game 749 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: went and all that. I don't remember all the scores really, 750 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: because but I remember how the game went. So you 751 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: remember your memory sometimes works that way, like I can 752 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: remember those things like they happened two months ago, but 753 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: obviously they didn't anyway, they started to hijack. No, No, 754 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,479 Speaker 1: I find it interesting that you know Spencer Whipple's dad, 755 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: and now I want to see how and plays out. 756 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: And Vans Joseph Vance, Joseph was here what my first year, 757 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: he was the defensive backs YEP coach and he called 758 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: plays on defense for one game and I can't remember 759 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: what the for the Texans. Yeah, I want to say 760 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: it's probably Wade. Wade took over as introm That's right, right, 761 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: But what happened when Wade in eleven Wade had surgery 762 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: And even in that season of twenty eleven, Wade had 763 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: had something wrong with him and he had some surgery 764 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: and he had to step away for a few weeks 765 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: or a week or so. I think Reggie Herring became 766 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. Yeah, at the time, but Vance is 767 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: on that team obviously eleven twelve. And I used to 768 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: interview Vans back in those back in those days, DP, 769 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean I was and the Hunday Texans radio studio 770 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: which is next door to this one. The other Hunday 771 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: Texans Radio studio. I would just go to an assistant 772 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 1: coach in his office and say, hey, want to come 773 00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: on the radio, and they would come on into the 774 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: studio and I'd get ten minutes with them, And yeah, 775 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: that's a difference that was. But when I was here 776 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: in thirteen, it was the same thing. If I had 777 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: a story I was writing and I wanted to get 778 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: a quote from an assistant coach, I would just walk 779 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 1: into their office. Right Reggie Hearing, I think I once 780 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: interviewed him and I accidentally deleted the entire interview and 781 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: he did the entire thing with me over again. Did 782 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: I was mortified, Oh my god? And then later I 783 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: was like, I just wanted to get one more quote 784 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: that and he gave it just like that. Now, I mean, 785 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: I would never I would never do that now. I 786 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: would never do that now, even if they allowed me 787 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 1: to do they would not do it. Should do that 788 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: with like, well, never mind, there are some coaches here 789 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: might not have been. You imagine if I did it 790 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: with Bill O'Brien, just like you know what, I wasn't 791 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: going to say an entire air view. Can I just 792 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: do it again? If you can't him on the right day, 793 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: It's going to be just fine. Trust In the off season, yeah, 794 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: the offseason, we had some great shows with offseason Bill 795 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: fantastic fantastic show and in season Bill two had some 796 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: great shows with him. And I'm not going to say 797 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: anything bad. There we go, there we go. All right, 798 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: So all these COVID positive test Chandler Jones tested positive 799 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: last week, didn't play against Cleveland, and Cliff Kingsbury has 800 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,919 Speaker 1: to have we know how this goes two negative tests 801 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: before he can return to the sideline. I think those 802 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: guys should rest just for their own well being. In fact, 803 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: I think a lot of players. I can give you 804 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: a list of Cardinals players who should rest just in case, 805 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: just for their well being. Yes, their general manager had 806 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: tested positive, but what I thought was most interesting was 807 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 1: their defensive lineman Corey Peters. He tested positive the morning 808 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: of kickoff and he could not fly back with the team. 809 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: I cannot. I've been I don't know why I went 810 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: down this wormhole of how did he get back to Arizona. 811 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: So get on a commercial jet where you can get 812 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: everybody else sick, but not us, not us, And imagine 813 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: if you are covering the if you're covering the Cardinals 814 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: and you're flying commercial and you see him on your flight. 815 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god, gosh, don't sit next to don't sit 816 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: next to Prey Peters. But yeah, they've got they've got 817 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: all this This COVID stuff still still in the works 818 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: right now, and I guess we'll see during the week 819 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: how that pans out. But I mean we've seen it. 820 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: Likes Blacklock is in our on our COVID road list 821 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: and he's been there for a few weeks. Yeah, we'll 822 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: get more information tomorrow when they get back to practice, 823 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: back to a regular game week routine. Yeah. And then 824 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, of course he's not on the list, but 825 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: that you and I were talking about this off the year, 826 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: just about his the recept He's got six touchdowns, which 827 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 1: is second in the NFL for receivers, but his number 828 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: of receptions is pretty low, relatively low. He's like forty 829 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: something in the league and Brandon Coaxes fourth in the league. 830 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: He's got a ton of catches. It's not one of 831 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: those voluminous catch seasons for hop so far. But you know, look, 832 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: he could put together four in a row, four games 833 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: in a row where he catches ten balls per game, 834 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 1: and they'll be right up there in the stats. It's 835 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: still relatively early for that. And he's fine in the 836 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: end zone. So he's obviously dangerous, and he's particularly dangerous 837 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, three catches last week. Two of those 838 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: catches were for touchdowns. And the Cardinals they say that 839 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: they're trying to spread the ball around a little bit more. 840 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is doing more in the passing game, doing 841 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: less running around with his legs, less mobility, less designed runs, 842 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: and so that's how they are, That's how they're operating 843 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: this year, and it seems to be working for them. 844 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna take a break when we come 845 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: back around the NFL.

We 862 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: go around the NFL and the Texans just face the 863 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: Colts and they've made several moves today, including cutting one 864 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: of their draftees from twenty twenty and a familiar name, quarterback, 865 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: same Ellinger. He's been activated off injured reserve, but they've 866 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: cut their backup quarterback, Jacob Es. Yeah, they waived him. 867 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: Interesting because you have the Longhorn available now and Eson, 868 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 1: who A lot of people thought, well, this guy could 869 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: possibly start. You give him an opportunity to develop him. 870 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: He could be a starter. But they let him go 871 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: and Ellinger, look, let's see how he goes. You're not 872 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: going to see him unless Wentz gets hurt again, which 873 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: I guess is entirely possible because Wentz has a history 874 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: of injury. Although he looked just fives plural. Yeah, I 875 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: think those are taped up heavily, and he's they're recovering, right, 876 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 1: He's getting a lot of treatment and time has gone by, 877 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: so he looked a lot better. Look, he didn't have 878 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: to throw the ball much, and they did not get 879 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 1: enough heat on him. They really did. I know Grenard 880 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 1: got to him, but they did not get enough heat 881 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. They didn't get into that kind of 882 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: game with a culture really have to throw right, right, 883 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: They only threw it what twenty times in the whole game. 884 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: The Texans threw it over forty times. Right. That's when 885 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: I look at these stats. Houston had more first downs. 886 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 1: You know, you had over forty throws and it's not 887 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: like you had a bad percentage. But he had a 888 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: couple of picks, Davis Mills, and you ran the ball 889 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,439 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards, right, If you don't turn it over, 890 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,879 Speaker 1: and the way you are on third down over fifty percent. 891 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,959 Speaker 1: If you don't turn it over, you got a shot 892 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: to win this thing. Instead, it just gets completely out 893 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: of hand with the cough ups and don't get me 894 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: started three takeaways after halftime. I mean it was just 895 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: like drive killers after Yeah, the culture just getting the ball, 896 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 1: just getting Yeah, they were getting it in great territory. 897 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: And the Jags in the meantime, they announced this morning 898 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: they've released their long time kicker, Josh Lambo. I guess 899 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: when you're the kicker who kicks the game winning field 900 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 1: goal and gets Urban Myers his first win, you earn 901 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: that starting job, right, Their kicker who made the first 902 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: three field goals of the twenty twenty one season in there, 903 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: I mean in first three of their win in Miami 904 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: and that fifty three yard game winner. I'm sure the 905 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: Jags are just so so happy heading into their bye week. Well, 906 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: I know, we know a lot of people work there, 907 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: and I'm happy for them, but they're in the division. 908 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 1: So I hate the Jags and I want them to 909 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 1: lose every game. But you know, Shod Kant is there 910 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: in London and they showed some shots of him and 911 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: he's just he's just beside himself because he's happy. He's no, 912 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: he's about to lose, right, He's about to lose again, 913 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: but they don't, so's he does have a happy day 914 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: and he owns Fulham there and we've talked about that. 915 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: A bunch of they actually went to if I heard 916 00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,879 Speaker 1: them on the broadcasting, they'd gone to a Fulham game. 917 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: He had gone to a Fulham game the night before 918 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: Fulham and one and you and Johnny had gone to 919 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,720 Speaker 1: a Fulham game. He had invited you guys. Yeah, we 920 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: sat in a suite and it was terrific. A bunch 921 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: of us with the Texans organization the day before the 922 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: Texans played the Jags a couple of years ago. I'll 923 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: never forget that. That was a really nice event. And 924 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: being there and seeing how soccer works a little bit 925 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: in London, in England, it really helped me. It really 926 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 1: was cool for me to see it. You're a part 927 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: of a club, when you're a fan of one of 928 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: those teams, and there's so many that are so close 929 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: together geographically. He can't believe how many Major League teams 930 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: are so close together in proximity, and it just kind 931 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 1: of makes it for a cool environment. It's very different 932 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: from anything we have here. Well, they broke their losing streak, 933 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: which was at twenty games. I mean we talk about 934 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: losing five in a row. Oh yeah, twenty games like 935 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: they hadn't one since Week one of the twenty twenty season, 936 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: and they were on pace to have the longest losing 937 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: streak in NFL history. I think twenty six was the 938 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: was the streak, so they were well on their way 939 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: to passing that. Imagine, yeah, look, they've gotten our lifetime, 940 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 1: They've got some assets. It's gonna be interesting to see 941 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: if Urban sticks around, how they retool the team in 942 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: the offseason. The development of Trevor Lawrence, because you definitely 943 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: see the seedlings, if more, you're seeing sprouts now you're 944 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 1: seeing branches and twigs of what he can really do. 945 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's gonna be dangerous. There's no doubt. 946 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: He's just a rookie off to a rough start with 947 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,879 Speaker 1: his team. Did you hear the story about how they 948 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: were going to throw a hail marry and then Miami 949 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 1: called a time out and Trevor Lawrence tells Erwin Meyer, like, 950 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: I think we can get a quick a quick pass 951 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 1: set up for the fuel goal. And that's what they did. 952 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: So had had the Dolphins not called that time out, 953 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: all the Jaguar is gonna be City got twenty one 954 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: straight losses. Texans are gonna play Miami soon enough, they're 955 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: gonna play the They're gonna play the They're gonna by 956 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 1: both those teams again, so be interesting to see how 957 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,439 Speaker 1: things shake out. All right, We've got Texans were coming 958 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: up with John Harris. That's coming up next, and I'm 959 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: sure he'll do a masterful job. He's got a good one. 960 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: He's figured out a creative way to have an excellent 961 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: show tonight. Just stay tuned, Yes, stay tuned for that. 962 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 1: That's going to do it for Texans All Access.

This is Texans Radio on Sports Radio six ten. 966 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 1: Kay I L t K I l t F NHT 967 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,800 Speaker 1: two HEUS tenth, the Insider Access, the exclusive contest Sports 968 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: Radio six tenth and Texans play here an Odyssey Station 969 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: two is better than one. How many times have you 970 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: heard that one? More than once? I bet because it 971 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 1: just adds up. For example, there are two, not one, 972 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: great reasons to fill up with Chevron with techron Number 973 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: one unbeatable cleaning power and number two, or maybe this 974 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 1: should be number one, unbeatable mileage. Plus Chevron quits techron 975 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: in every grade, every gallon of their gasoline. So that's two, 976 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 1: no way, three unbeatable reasons to go with the one 977 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: and only Chevron with Tekron Care for your car.
