How do you handle that? 39 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 5: All right? 40 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 6: This is the most important thing, especially coming off of 41 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 6: Buy One, our guys to know what we're doing and 42 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 6: then let them be able to play as fast as possible. 43 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 5: All Right, So it's about us. 44 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 6: No matter who's calling the plays for them, always focus 45 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 6: on us and what do our players do well? 46 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 5: Allow them to do that, allow them to go play 47 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 5: and make plays. 48 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 4: What makes it tough to deal with them up front? 49 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 4: Defensively as you try to attack them with the running game, 50 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 4: whatever else you're going to do. 51 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, defensively, it starts with dry Brown. I mean, he's 52 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 6: he's a problem man. He's very disruptive in the run game, 53 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 6: I mean passing game. He's a very disruptive player. So 54 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 6: we're gonna have to, you know, get combos on him, 55 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 6: double teams as much as possible, right to try to 56 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 6: fear it free up some space for us to be 57 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 6: able to run the ball. 58 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: Now, what about offensively? We've talked a lot about Bryce Young, 59 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 4: but they have other things they can add to the 60 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 4: mix as well. 61 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, Bryce has done a great job well, I think 62 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 6: what's gotten this team going. And with Thomas taking over 63 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 6: the play call, and I just see them leaning heavy 64 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 6: on the run game, right, Chubba has done a good 65 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 6: job of running the ball. And you mix in Miles 66 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 6: Sanders as well. I think both of those guys compliment 67 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 6: each other really well. So I think they're gonna try 68 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 6: to rely heavily on the run game, so we have 69 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 6: to do a really good job of knocking them back 70 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 6: creating penetration in a run game. 71 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: We haven't talked a lot about the kicking game this week. 72 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 4: How do you see that phase of the game. 73 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, really, they have two really good gunners 74 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 6: when it comes to the punt their punt team, So 75 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 6: I feel like we get their gunners handled, Like we 76 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 6: got to try to get Tank going. Give Tank some 77 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 6: space hopefully he can create an explosive play for us 78 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 6: in a return game. 79 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: Being on the road, Coach, it's different here you are 80 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 4: coming back from the buy. 81 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 3: You go on the road. 82 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 4: Does that sharpen the senses even though you don't have 83 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 4: the support in the stands. 84 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, we love our fans, we love being home, but 85 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 6: I also feel like you get that extra focus. Guys 86 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 6: are a little bit more locked in when you have 87 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 6: a you know, two hour plane ride. Guys are able 88 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 6: to look at their look at their playbook, a little longer, 89 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 6: study right, be able to ask cous and they're locked in. 90 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 6: It's all football, no distractions. Then to get to the hotel, 91 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 6: same thing.

So we had that 152 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 8: rep in practice. You had it in the game where 153 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 8: you messed up.

Yeah. 164 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 7: Heading to Charlotte taking on the Carolina Panthers. When you 165 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 7: look at this offense, what's the first thing that stands 166 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 7: out to you? 167 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 5: Bryce? 168 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 8: You? 169 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,119 Speaker 9: Yeah, kind of easy, right, Yeah?

A lot of them know, a 180 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 8: lot of veteran guys, a lot of young you know, 181 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 8: mixing up with young guys. But they do a great 182 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 8: job of helping Bryce out, getting Bryce, you know, looks 183 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 8: to where he feels comfortable. But they do a really 184 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 8: good job. 185 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 7: What's it like looking at him on film on tape 186 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 7: this week after playing against it or playing it against 187 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 7: him in practice a couple of years at Alabama. 188 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 8: It's funny. You see a lot of things that he 189 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 8: still did at Alabama that he does now in the league. 190 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 8: But it's it's kind of crazy preparing for him now 191 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 8: because you know, we're best buddies. You know, tells Dak 192 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 8: can call him, he can call me, But now I 193 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 8: gotta go hit him like now instead of me preparing 194 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 8: for him in practice, I get to get a chance 195 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 8: to actually go get a lick on him. 196 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's interesting. In watching his press conference earlier in 197 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 7: the week. He was very, very excited about playing against 198 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 7: Will Anderson Junior, playing against you, playing against guy C. J. 199 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 9: Stroud who he wasn't teammates with but has a bond. 200 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 7: It's very interesting seeing that whole dynamic play itself out, 201 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 7: isn't it. 202 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's crazy how the world works, you know. It's 203 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 8: so crazy how small this world is. And the opportunity 204 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 8: that we have as young guys to be able to 205 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 8: play against you and compete against each other in this league. 206 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 8: It's a blessing and honestly is a blessing for us. 207 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 9: All right. 208 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 7: Henry started the final eleven, Best of luck against the Panthers. 209 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 9: Can't wait to talk you against Sue. 210 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: Appreciate it all right, great stuff there from Demico and 211 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: Henry TOA TOA who i'd imagine will play a bit 212 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: pretty big role. 213 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 9: Mark. 214 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Each and every time after you talk with the Miko, 215 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I always I like to get a for and I 216 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: ask you the same question, how is coach? 217 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: Obviously you hear him. 218 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: But you know, how was it you get to see 219 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: him before the interview starts after and you always say 220 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: the same thing. 221 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: Gay's good, he's good, he's ready to go. 222 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: Well he's always so positive, so bright, and I mean 223 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: that not only in an intellectual way, but just his 224 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 4: whole personality, right. I mean, he's a light who walks 225 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: into the room. He talks about he doesn't want energy vampires. 226 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 4: I think we can all relate to that in our workplaces. 227 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 4: You don't want those kinds of people. You want people 228 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: walking in the room and they bring the sunshine with them, 229 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 4: and that is certainly him. And one thing I took 230 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 4: away from this one which is something we've heard from 231 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: him before, and I don't know if we talk about 232 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: it enough, it's kiss keep it simple, stupid. He's trying 233 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 4: to keep it simple for everybody, or simple enough. He 234 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 4: does not want to overload everybody with way too much 235 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: where they don't play fast. He wants them to play fast, 236 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: furious with fire, a lot of f's there. He wants 237 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: them to play that way, with that kind of passion. 238 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 4: And you can't do that if you're thinking all the time. 239 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: We always talk about this, when it becomes second nature, well, 240 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 4: you play a whole lot better in any sport. 241 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 3: Anything you do. 242 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: For these guys, especially these young players, he wants to 243 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 4: keep it so Yeah, they're doing some intricate enough things 244 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: to disrupt on defense and execute on offense. But he 245 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: doesn't want to make it too crazy. He wants to 246 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 4: be really effective, fast and play with passion. 247 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 3: I always thought that. 248 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: I always thought the secret sauce to a coach with 249 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: that philosophy, and that was the philosophy I want. I 250 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: wanted my team to be as fast as it possibly could, 251 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: but I also wanted to have a wrinkle. So how 252 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: could I coach a play that might look completely different 253 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: and say to maybe ten guys, hey, you guys do 254 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: the same thing on this particular play, but hey, one guy, 255 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: you you're gonna do something different, and it's gonna take 256 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: the whole play and make it look like something completely 257 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: dif different to the other side. And I mean, I 258 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: think that's kind of the secret sauce when you do 259 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: you know, when you say, hey, we want to keep it, 260 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: we want to keep it simple. We want to keep 261 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: the players playing fast, which at the NFL level that 262 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's fantastic. You want to see all that speed. 263 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: I think this team we talked about a back in 264 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: training camp. You could tell this team speed on defense 265 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: was at a completely different level. But you can tweak 266 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: one thing, you can tweak two guys, you can tweak 267 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: two responsibilities. You can tell the front, hey, this is 268 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: the same front structure as this. It's the same sort 269 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: of scheme like Rabbit or Jacksonville or whatever you call 270 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: particular play. 271 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: However, we're gonna change it up. Instead of you going front, 272 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: you go in front. 273 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: It's just a little simple things like that, and the 274 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: defense sees it or the offense season goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, 275 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: we didn't see that on film. Well you did kind of. 276 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: But just a little tweak that's all it takes. And 277 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: I feel like that's where this defense is going to 278 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: be down the road, that you're going to see things 279 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: that build off of concepts that they already do, and 280 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: they do them well. 281 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 3: So now all of a sudden, Okay, we just got 282 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 3: to tweak this. Cool, We're good. 283 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: And I always felt like that was the key, I 284 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: know for me when I was coaching, that I was 285 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: going to give them something. If I had one play 286 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: and that was my pet play, and I went to 287 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: it a lot, how many different counters could I have 288 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: without changing everything for everybody? What you know, instead of hey, 289 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna fake this handoff and block it this way. 290 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna block it this way. They're gonna expect 291 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: you to keep it. So now we're going to give 292 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: the ball. You know, those kind of things. And I 293 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: feel like that's kind of where Amiko wants to go 294 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: to and I think that's gonna be I think it's 295 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: gonna be great in payoff. But you're right, he just 296 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: seems completely even keeled until the ball is snapped. Then 297 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: when the ball snapped, then he turns into what's the 298 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: opposite of an energy vampire. Yeah, an energy actual vampire 299 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: maybe because he has as much energy as anybody. And 300 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: if you had a chance to see my telestrader last week, 301 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: you could see when Cashman and Seat Griffin make the 302 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: play on Alvin Kamara on the sidelines. We weren't that 303 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: far apart. We were about and we had about the 304 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: same reaction. I jumped about two inches. Coach jumped about 305 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: thirty because he got a better vertical leap. But it's 306 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: just that energy and you can sense it. You see 307 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: it on the team, you see it on the field, 308 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: and it's it's been pretty impressive. 309 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: It scares you about them. 310 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: If there's anything that scares you about Carolina, Johnny, what 311 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 4: would it be. 312 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: I think reaching back and finding their fastball one time. Yeah, 313 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, because I think NFL teams can do that. 314 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: They can find that fastball one time. And I think 315 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: it would take you know, Bryce making a few plays, 316 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: making a few scrambles. They start believing, Hey, look what 317 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: Bryce is doing. I don't think they can run away 318 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: from you. And I mean the meaning, I don't think 319 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: they could put up thirty five on you. But don't 320 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: help them, right right, right, turnover right, do not do 321 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: not help them, in fact, go the other way. And 322 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: that's that's what you've seen from them. Carolina, Carolina against Detroit, 323 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: Bryce at two picks, he threw on right to Aiden Hutchinson. 324 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: They gave it forty two that game. He had two 325 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: interceptions against the Dolphins. They gave it forty two that game. 326 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: But Adam Thielen is you know, crafty enough to have 327 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: another ten catches. There's an interesting stat I saw on 328 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: the in the research for this game. Adam theln is 329 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: the only player in the NFL this year to have 330 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: a ten reception one hundred ten plus reception, one hundred 331 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: plus yard, one touchdown plus game in the NFL this year, 332 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: no players had ten receptions or more, one hundred yards 333 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: or more and a touchdown in the same game this year. 334 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: That's incredible. No receiver he's done three times. 335 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 4: Well, he's done it three times, and that may interesting 336 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 4: because there's a tremendous drop off between him second and 337 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 4: third of those receiving stats for the Carolina Panthers. So clearly, 338 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 4: stop feeling and you got a really good shot to 339 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 4: stop the offense, you would think, unless they get the 340 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 4: running game going and things like that. Bryce Young, this 341 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 4: is I'll run for ten yards and then I'll hit 342 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 4: somebody else for a big play. Oh, when you turned 343 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: it over and I'll capitalize. That's what you need to avoid. 344 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 2: You know. 345 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 4: I was going back through Texans history and noticing that 346 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 4: when you get a lot of takeaways, you score a 347 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 4: lot of points. That's just the way it goes. Two thousand. 348 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 4: This is interesting to me. Twenty thirteen in yards the 349 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 4: offense had the same number ranking that is that they 350 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 4: did in twenty twelve. They went twelve and four. In 351 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 4: twenty twelve they went two and fourteen. In twenty thirteen, 352 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: there were seventh in offensive yardage both years. What was 353 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 4: the difference. Well, you turned it over a ton on offense. 354 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: In fact, you were throwing into the opponent a lot 355 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 4: and they were running it right in. 356 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: So you had the pick sixth season. 357 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 4: So that affected your scoring ranking, and your defense wasn't 358 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 4: quite as good. Okay, so that really plays into it. 359 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 4: In fact, the defense wasn't even that bad yardage wise, 360 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: but in points to me you look at, don't turn 361 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 4: it over. Be aggressive, but be aggressive with responsibility. 362 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: How about that? 363 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: That's that's a good way of putting. It's kind of 364 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: like you're driving. 365 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you drive aggressively, but with you know, knowledge of 366 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: what else is on the road with. 367 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: You, you have it. 368 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: How did you just say that? Say that again? 369 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: Be aggressive responsibly, Be aggressive responsibly. That's that's the way 370 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: to drive in Houston. Yeah, yeah, be aggressive, responsirative. I 371 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: prefer to drive assertively. That's that's because if you're not assertive, 372 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: you're probably not going to get to where you need 373 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: to go. Sometimes, No, you drive aggressively with responsibility. Let's 374 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: let's let's be brutally honest. Here's here's the one thing 375 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: that I'm I don't get concerned and I'm not concerned 376 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: about this, but from a panther's perspective, if you said 377 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: to them before the year starts, who are the players 378 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: you cannot afford to not have on the field, you 379 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: would have gone all right, Well, defensively, in particular Shack Thompson, 380 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: we got to keep him in the field. Well he's 381 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: on IR. Jeremy chan we gotta have him on the field. 382 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: He just went on IR. Uh eater, Gross Matos really 383 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: keep you can live without him, but he's on IR. 384 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: They've got those three guys on irons on defense. Now 385 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: there's Brian Burns is probably the number one guy that 386 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: you would say you gotta have him on the field. 387 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: He's listened this questionable. He's dealing with the elbow issue. 388 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: He did not practice on Friday, so he was full 389 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: practice Wednesday, limited, Thursday, d MP, and Friday. 390 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 3: He is ques for them. 391 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: That's a bad progression for an injury. 392 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 4: If you're out of practice Friday, if you're going in 393 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 4: the wrong direction in the participation department and then listed 394 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: as questionable, that's not good. 395 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: So you're without Shack, you know for a fact, you're 396 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: without Shaq Thompson, Jeremy Chin, Eeter, Grossmadows, von Bell has 397 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: been listed out though that's three starters. 398 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: Inn keep backup already. If Burns is out, that's huge. 399 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: Where are you getting your pass rush from if you're 400 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: the Panthers, because at that point it burns it out, 401 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: you go into a rookie more than likely DJ Johnson 402 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: from Oregon two years ago. 403 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: He was a tight end at Oregon. 404 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: Or you're going to Justin Houston, who is kind of 405 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: the shell of Justin Houston. 406 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: At myself a version. He's like, you know what he is. 407 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 4: He's a classic rock band, but the members have rolled over, 408 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 4: so now they're kind of a cover band. Yeah, that 409 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 4: doesn't mean he can't play a hit every once in 410 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: a while, right exactly. He can win as a free 411 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 4: bird pretty convincingly every once in a while, but it's 412 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 4: not always gonna be so pretty. 413 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: But you can unplug the amp, meaning you can send 414 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: doubles and chips and things like that if you need to. 415 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: And then there's a Mari Barno who is speedy but light. 416 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: So if you don't have Burns, I'm not sure where 417 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna end up getting pass rush pressure other than 418 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna blitz luvu. We're gonna, you know, blitz Comma 419 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: Grusha hits that Derek Brown can crack through, right, but 420 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: how often can he just do that one on one 421 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: without you making some adjustments, especially if on the outside, 422 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: if you feel like, hey, they really don't have an 423 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: opportunity here. 424 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's help whoever has got ninety five. 425 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: Let's slide our protection or let's double here to make 426 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: sure that ninety five has not hurt us. 427 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: He can do it one on one. 428 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 4: You want to know what the key name here is 429 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 4: though for the Houston Texans, and Demiko mentioned it in 430 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 4: the interview in a special teams context. Yep, Tank Dell. 431 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 4: Nathaniel Dell. My friends, this is big. You get him back. 432 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 4: It's been a minute because you had the bye and 433 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 4: then you had the Atlanta game. The first half of 434 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 4: the Atlanta game, how did he leave the game? Oh, 435 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 4: after making a huge catch that puts you in field 436 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 4: goal range two end a half. This is Tank Dell. 437 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 4: And as great a season as Nico Collins is having 438 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 4: number one in the league in yards per catch, Dell 439 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 4: is still in the top ten and he will be 440 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 4: heard from. And even though the Robert Woods situation is 441 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 4: certainly a concern, I'm so glad they have Dell back. 442 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 443 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I think we've seen some growth from Noah 444 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: Brown last time out against the Saints. John Metchi has 445 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: shown some growth when he's been on the field. You 446 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: got to Xavier Hutchinson who has done some things. So 447 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: not saying that you replace Robert Woods easily, It's probably 448 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: gonna have to be done with two three guys. But 449 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: the fact that you get tanked back, you open things up. 450 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: And with no Von Bell at safety, you're probably going 451 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: with San Franklin junior. You're probably going with Matthias Farley, 452 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: probably Franklin. They gave up some big shots, some big 453 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: shots to Miami. Then once they gave us some big shots, 454 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: and they gave us some big chunks in front of them. 455 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: So I think if you've got Tank to kind of 456 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: stretch them and then work Nico underneath, running dagger routes, 457 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: things like that, dagger concepts, So I think you got 458 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: an opportunity to do some things underneath them offensively. I mean, look, Bryce, 459 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: we've seen in college, us Oll in high school. I 460 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: watched them all the way back to modern day. But 461 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: there's a difference, I mean with modern day and with Alabama. 462 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: He had the best talent on the field. 463 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: There's no doubt he still was the most talented guy 464 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: on the field, but he was he had talent around him. 465 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 2: That offensive line has it's been a struggle. Now. 466 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: Austin Corbett should be back more than likely going to 467 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: start at one of the guard positions. That will absolutely 468 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: help because they started Calvin Throckmoorton last week. He ended 469 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: up getting hurt and so he is he is It 470 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: looks like scheduled to play. But the die Corbett and 471 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: Throckmorton is a big one. So you have to be 472 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: able to get some pass rush on him. But you 473 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: have to treat it a lot like you've treated some 474 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: of the guys already this year, like Lamar Jackson, like 475 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. When you rush them, you have to envelop 476 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: them in the pocket because where his size becomes an advantages. 477 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: He kind of sneaks through and slides through. He's slippery, 478 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: He's tough to get hands on. He throws from different 479 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: arm angles and things like that. You get there, you 480 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: gotta bring him down. Let me ask you to take 481 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: me to the ground. 482 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 3: What about those two CJ. 483 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 4: Stroud and Bryce Young who have played everything against each 484 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 4: other over the years, including basketball, and that was fun 485 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 4: to hear them both talk about LA this week. What 486 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 4: about the psychological element of this matchup, how it affects them, motivates, distracts, detracts. No, 487 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 4: not a factor at all, because these are two NFL 488 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: teams hungry for a win. But there's no way to 489 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 4: understate what's happening here. Yeah, I mean you can't understate it. 490 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 4: What's happening here with Bryce Young versus c J Stroud. 491 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 4: We talked about this one since the draft. 492 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing. You know, two guys are 493 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: playing basketball against one another. You know Magic was gonna 494 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: lock up Larry Larry was gonna lock up Magic. When 495 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: Magic Johnson Larry Bird went against each other, you know 496 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: Jordan was gonna face you know, some of the better 497 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: players on the court. 498 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 3: These two won't face each other. Yeah, you know what 499 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 3: I mean? Watching is CJ. 500 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: Against the Panthers defense, is Bryce against the Texans defense. 501 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: They're not gonna go one on one. 502 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: It's not as if I think more I think more 503 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: interesting to me is Will Anderson Junior sacking his pal, 504 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: oh going after his guy. I mean, they were a 505 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty together. They played, you know, three 506 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: years together, played a lot of big ball games together, 507 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: won championships together. I think that to me is the 508 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: bigger one. Well, Anderston junior finally gets a chance to 509 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: sack his guy, Bryce Shaw. 510 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 3: We got three former teammates across the line of scrimmage. 511 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's pretty I think it's pretty cool. 512 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: Go get Bryce Young. All those times that you didn't 513 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: get a chance to sack him in practice and you're like, 514 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: I have sacked you. No, no, I got that ball. Well, 515 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: now you have your opportunity. This is your opportunity. So 516 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: we'll interested junior Christian Harris Henry Toatoa getting that opportunity 517 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,479 Speaker 1: to go after Bryce Young. In fact that John met 518 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: you obviously for the Texans as well. I mean we're 519 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Alabama West, so we've got We've got a ton of 520 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: guys and so they'll uh. I think you know Bryce 521 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: down deep, you want to do well, especially when to 522 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: do well in front of your buddies. 523 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 3: You know, C. J. 524 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: Stroud is Alabama guys, but the defensive guys he will face. 525 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: But as far as Stroud goes, you're not gonna face 526 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 2: each other. 527 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: Little trade jerseys after the game see each other on 528 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: the field, you know, hug it up, talk about Cali, 529 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: see him in the off season, all that kind of stuff. 530 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: But I don't make too much of that just because 531 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: they're not facing one another. 532 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 3: Now. 533 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: Alabama defensive guys against Bryce, that's a big one. That's 534 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: and they've seen it before, so they know some of 535 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: the tendencies. They know some of those things, and they've 536 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: seen him at least at least in practice. That should 537 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: help a little bit. Here's the one thing I don't 538 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: think the Panthers do, and if they do it early, 539 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: it won't surprise me that they'll try to do it early. 540 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 3: But they don't throw the ball down the field. 541 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: It is dink. It's dunk. It's dink, it's dunk. The 542 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: yards per catch not so low. So put straps on 543 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: them early. Try and force them to have to throw 544 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: it down the field, to force Bryce to hold on 545 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: to it for a half second longer. Let your pass 546 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: rush get there a little bit, but try and force 547 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: them to throw in the ball down the field and 548 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: see if they'll do it. 549 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 2: And if they won't, you're gonna end up with sacks. 550 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: And that's where you want to be. 551 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 4: It's such a draft report card, whether you like it 552 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 4: or not, it's an organizational report card. These two teams. 553 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: Carolina moving way up to one to get Bryce Young. 554 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: Where are you at right now? Everybody knows that it's 555 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 4: about a long term process, but there's no way you 556 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 4: can stop people from judging from having a referendum take 557 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 4: place on the field in Charlotte on Sunday. 558 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: And you know we can't wait for this. 559 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean you walk out of it with 560 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: win number four in week eight.

He kind of 680 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: throttled up his practice participation, but he's questionable, but I 681 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: think he's gonna play. Austin Corbett is a full participant practice. 682 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: He was back off of IR, so expect Corporate to 683 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: start at guard now. One big one in particular, did 684 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: not participate on Friday. 685 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 2: He was limited on. 686 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: Thursday, and he was let's see, was he even on 687 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: He wasn't even on the injury report on Wednesday. So 688 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: when from full participant limited to DNP and that star 689 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: pass rusher Brian Burns elbow questionable. Now there's been a 690 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: lot of talk about injuries. I'm sorry with the trades 691 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: and how that plays into this, we'll see. But for 692 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: the Panthers, all those guys and I already mentioned and 693 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: vom bell out and Leaviscus chanlt out, potentially Brian Burns 694 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: could be out questionable for the Panthers. Kama Gruja Hill 695 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: we know he had an illness. He was a DMP 696 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: on Friday, so we'll keep an eye on that one. 697 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: Frank YOUE Louver, I would imagine what play he's questionable. 698 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: We played last or two weeks ago, Taylor Mutan deal. 699 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 2: With a knee. He was a limited participant. He is questionable. 700 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: So how does all that impact the keys to the game. Well, 701 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: let's dive into this. Panthers offense. Three keys number one 702 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: with Bryce Young, you gotta heat him up with just four. 703 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 2: If you can get four. 704 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: Against their five consistently, man then you could start to 705 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: get exotic with your coverages. You can play seven in coverage. 706 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: You can even man rush with three and drop eight. 707 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: Just show him different windows. Now he's got a quick release, 708 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: he'll get rid of it. But he's still a rookie. 709 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: It's a sixth start. He missed the game, so this 710 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: is a seventh game for the Panthers. 711 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: But his sixth start. He missed the game due to 712 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 2: injury earlier. 713 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: He's as talented passer as you're gonna find, but that 714 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: offensive line has been shaken up. That will get Austin 715 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: Corbett back at least I imagine that, But it's not 716 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: as if they've been good across it. This Texans front 717 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: has got to heat him up early. And if they 718 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: can't heat him up with four, then show him some 719 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: exotic blitzes and see what he does with it. All right, Adam, 720 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: theone has been all kinds of incredible for this team. 721 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean unbelievable. He's on pace to catch nearly one 722 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: hundred and forty passes. And what worries me the most 723 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: is how he works in the zones, in those zone 724 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: areas and underneath areas, and I would imagine the Textas 725 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: worked a lot of that in practice this week. But 726 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: they've got to hug up on him. They got a 727 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: nudge and bump him, be physical with him. Disrupt the 728 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: timing because that's where Bryce Young wants to go with 729 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: the ball. Disrupt that timing and you might be able 730 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: to get to Bryce Young and have some sacks. And finally, offensively, 731 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: this offensive line for the Panthers has been moving around 732 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: a little bit like the Texans offensive line, and they've 733 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: had different combinations. They've had ikey Akwanu next to Briddy 734 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: Christensen and Christensen got hurt. Really, the only guys that 735 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: have been there for the full thing have been Bradley 736 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: Boseman at center and ikey Akwanu at left tackle. Taylor 737 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: motan Well I mentioned earlier, Moton has been banged up, 738 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: so we'll see he's questionable. But they should have Austin 739 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: Corban back. That should help them a little bit. The 740 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: Texans have really got to take advantage of that particular 741 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: offensive line. Texans are second in the league with forty two 742 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: percent pressure rate. 743 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 2: But they got to get home. They got to get 744 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: home for sacks. 745 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: They got to set up second, a long third and long, 746 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: got some more turnovers come. That's when more sacks come, 747 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: and that's when you can do moralize in offense, and 748 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: that's what you got to try and do against the 749 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: caro a lot of Panthers. 750 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 2: Now let's get to the defense. 751 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: This defense has struggled their thirty first in the NFL, 752 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: given up one hundred and forty four yards a game. 753 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: They only give up about two hundred through the air. 754 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: But I mean it makes sense right the thirty First, 755 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: the NFL teams are going to continue to run their 756 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: minus three in turnover margin keys against them. The number 757 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: one will hold because it's Brian Burns. If he doesn't 758 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 1: play well, I don't know where the pass rush pressure 759 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: will come from. If there's no Brian Burns out there, 760 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: maybe Derek maybe Derek Brown inside. 761 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 2: So let's get to the key number two. Derek Brown. 762 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: He is massive, he's quick, he's physically smart. He plays 763 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: anywhere from three technique out the five technique. He can 764 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: rush one on one, he can do loops and stunts. 765 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: He is really difficult to handle. Texans have got to 766 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: have a plan for him, especially in the run game. 767 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: That's what worries me more than anything else in the 768 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: run game, because he moves so well and where he 769 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: plays that's really where you want your outside zones to go. 770 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: And he's standing in a way that's gonna be tough. 771 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: And then finally, safety dance, who is gonna step up? 772 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: Is Xavier Wood's gonna play? Is Von Bell not gonna play? 773 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: We already know he's not gonna play. So how do 774 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: they reconfigure that safety position, and can the Texans take 775 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: advantage with some shots over the top, with some play action, 776 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: draw them in, throw over the top, take advantage of 777 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: some inexperienced UH safety. 778 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 2: Inexperienced starting safeties. 779 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: And Sam Franklin gave him some good time last time 780 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: out against the Dolphins. But they don't have Von Bell, 781 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: they don't have potential. He say, your woods. They got 782 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: to take advantage of that, no doubt about it. All right, 783 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: those are your keys to win over the Carolina Panthers. 784 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: When we get backs, go behind Enemy Sidelines with Jonathan Stuart, 785 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: former Carolina Panthers running back with Deep City next on 786 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: Texans All Access.

Now if the name 791 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: sounds familiar, former running back for the Carolina Panthers, now 792 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: covering the Panthers on the Believe podcast. Does a great job. 793 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: Here's Jonathan Stewart with Deep Deep taken away. 794 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 10: We're going behind Enemy Sidelines with Jonathan Stewart, former NFL 795 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 10: running back and now host of the We Leave in 796 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 10: Carolina Panthers podcast. Jonathan, first of all, welcome in, and 797 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 10: I want to find out what's your reaction to the 798 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 10: Panthers starting zero to six with Bryce Young and with 799 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 10: Frank Reich. 800 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 11: Playing this game. I understand how hard it is to win. 801 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 11: And you know, very few get a group of men 802 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 11: and then within an organization to be on one accord 803 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 11: and to have things go perfect, and to have things 804 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 11: go right, and to have all the missing elements all 805 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 11: of a sudden, having all the elements needed right starting 806 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 11: the season off preseason, everyone had high hopes in the 807 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 11: sense of a new coaching staff. On paper, everything was great, 808 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 11: got the number one draft pick and Bryce Young a 809 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 11: student of the game, you know, somewhat of a savant, 810 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 11: you know, and and we got you know, a lot 811 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 11: of skill positions, and all we gotta do is, you know, 812 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 11: wait for certain guys to heal up and get them 813 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 11: back on the field and will be easy peasy. But 814 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 11: you add injuries to the mix. You add the fact 815 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 11: that this is a coaching staff working together in their entirety, 816 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 11: like this's the first time that they've been together, you know, 817 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 11: and you get you know the players, you know, some 818 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 11: additions there. You know, it's the first time that they're 819 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 11: operating together as a whole. And then you've got a 820 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 11: defense that it's a brand new defense, not from you know, 821 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 11: just typical schemes, but basic the basics of this defense 822 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 11: is different. You know, you got guys that might not 823 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 11: have really been a you know, a true one technique 824 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 11: or you know, a true three four linebacker and all 825 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 11: those types of things. So there's a lot of learning 826 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 11: curves that have taken place there. Even and you look 827 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 11: at the offensive side of the ball, off the line, 828 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 11: the unit there injury bug waiting for guys to heal up, 829 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 11: and the running game, you know, it's a different scheme 830 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 11: and they like to run more zone and and so 831 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 11: there's just a lot of things that people anticipated them 832 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 11: to just snap their fingers and have everything on the 833 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 11: right page. And you know, the reality is is when 834 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 11: you have an offensive, you know, the offense that has 835 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 11: a new quarterback and a new offensive coordinator. You have 836 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 11: a defense with a new defensive coordinator and a brand 837 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 11: new head coach and whole new coaching staff. You're hitting 838 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 11: the reset button. And in this world, in this day 839 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 11: and age, no one's ready for delayed gratification. 840 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 12: And so right now you just got to be in. 841 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 11: That season and knowing that you're experiencing some delay and 842 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 11: just trust the process because eventually they'll payoff, because I've 843 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 11: been there. 844 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 10: I'm talking with Jonathan Stewart, a former Pro Bowl running 845 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 10: back for the Panthers. When you look at Bryce Young, Jonathan, 846 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 10: I mean, it seems like just on paper his numbers 847 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 10: have gotten better over recent weeks. 848 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 2: Where have you really seen him grow? 849 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 10: What's something about him that you've seen that maybe people 850 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,479 Speaker 10: don't necessarily know just by looking at the final score 851 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 10: of the record. 852 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 11: I mean, he's making the decisions and he's being decisive, 853 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 11: and he's taking what you know, the defense is giving him, 854 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 11: and he's playing within you know, the offense that's being called. 855 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 11: You know, he's you know, going through his progressions the 856 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 11: right way. He's the throws that he's making when he's 857 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 11: not under pressure and when he's not you know, trying 858 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,919 Speaker 11: to survive, they're amazing. I mean, especially if you look at, 859 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,720 Speaker 11: you know, the the separation stats there where Adam Thielen, 860 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 11: you know, he's balling out and he's got you know, 861 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 11: his average yards of separation between a defender on each 862 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 11: catch is, you know, about two point six yards. You 863 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 11: look at some of these guys, you look at the Dolphins, 864 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 11: the guys of you know, the likes of Tyrek Hill. 865 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 12: His average is probably four yards of separation. 866 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 11: And so the throws that Bryce is making in tight windows, 867 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 11: under stress in the pocket, the anticipation is something that 868 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 11: you don't really see. 869 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 12: From a lot of quarterbacks. 870 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 11: You look at some veteran guys that don't have the 871 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 11: anticipation that this guy has. And so that's one of 872 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 11: the things that it's exciting to see is because you 873 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 11: have a quarterback that understands, you know, where guys are 874 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 11: on the field, where they're supposed to be, an understanding, 875 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 11: you know the defense and what they're showing. And that's 876 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 11: week by week you've seen the progression of that. 877 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 10: I definitely want to ask you what Adam Thielen. But first, 878 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 10: one of the big news stories so heading into this 879 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 10: game really for the Panthers has been the change in 880 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 10: play calling duties. And I know Frank Reich had announced it. 881 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 10: You know they're coming off the buy, but before the bye, 882 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 10: he had announced that he's handing those play calling duties 883 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 10: over to his OC Thomas Brown. So what can you 884 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 10: tell us about what went into that decision and what 885 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 10: might change offensively for the Panthers this week? 886 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 11: I think out the gate, you know, I think Frank 887 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 11: Reich's first press conference, he acknowledged the fact that he 888 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 11: will take the reins in the beginning and eventually he'll 889 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 11: hand it off. And I think right now we're seeing 890 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 11: exactly what he said was going to happen. You know, 891 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 11: he's a man of his word. 892 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 12: He's not going to. 893 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 11: Hold on to something that someone is clearly capable of, 894 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 11: you know, doing, And I think, you know, Thomas Brown, 895 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 11: you know, he's clearly well qualified. And I think, you 896 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 11: know what's gonna what we're going to see out of 897 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 11: that is just maybe some more consistency, just for the 898 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 11: players to know exactly what to expect as far as 899 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 11: his personality and calling plays and his anticipations going into 900 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 11: the week. You know, they're running plays throughout the week 901 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 11: in practice and they can gear towards you know, what 902 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 11: is expected to be called on game day. So you know, 903 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 11: I think we'll probably see, you know, some positives there especially, 904 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 11: you know, if you're a quarterback, you know you know 905 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 11: which offensive coordinator and his mindset to follow. You know, 906 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 11: given that they were sharing the row up, I can 907 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 11: only imagine that maybe there's a couple of hiccups here 908 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 11: and there, but decisions made and everybody just carries on. 909 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: All right. 910 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 10: I'm curious about your thoughts, just as a former running back, 911 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 10: what do you think of the run game that the 912 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 10: Panthers have going. They've got Chuba Hubbard and then Miles 913 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 10: Sanders coming back. Is it a run game by committee 914 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 10: approach or do you think one of those two is 915 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 10: really going to emerge as the primary back. 916 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 11: I think we're living in a day and age where 917 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 11: you know, you play a team and certain defensive defenses 918 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 11: display different challenges. And so you might have a team 919 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 11: one week where you need to be run heavy, meaning 920 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 11: you need to be physical upfront because that's the way 921 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 11: they you know, win ball games. Then there's certain weeks 922 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 11: where you might have a lazy defense where you can 923 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 11: catch guys off guard and may not have certain you know, 924 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 11: positions filled with you know, a one type player, and 925 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 11: so you can take advantage of that get guys in space, 926 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 11: and so it's definitely going to be a weekend week 927 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 11: out running back by committee, especially this time of the season. 928 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 11: You got to keep your guys healthy because at the 929 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 11: moment you have injuried bugs as we are, we've already 930 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 11: noticed it's hard to bounce back and do anything you 931 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 11: have guys that are getting injured. So definitely running back 932 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 11: by a committee. I would I would personally like to 933 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 11: see rahiem blackshear get some more carriers. I like the 934 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 11: way he runs. I like, you know, the element that 935 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 11: he brings to the table. He runs hard, he runs angry. 936 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 11: But he's a little guy, right and he doesn't play little. 937 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 11: And those are the types of things that you like 938 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 11: to see, you know at that running back position is 939 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 11: guys play big, play bigger than what you might be 940 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,359 Speaker 11: seen as or what guys can anticipate you as. 941 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 12: Just play big. If you're a slasher, be a big slasher. 942 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 12: Slash slash slash. 943 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 11: If you are a guy that's a hard nose runner, 944 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 11: you run hard like and every time you run hard, 945 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 11: that's what's expected of you. You run hard every time. 946 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 11: Don't just do it one time, do it every time. 947 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 11: And if you're a balanced guy, be balanced. Just be 948 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 11: you play within yourself. Don't listen to what everyone else 949 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 11: is saying. You know, I know everyone right now is 950 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 11: calling for true Hubbard to be the starter, and rightfle Li. 951 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 11: So he's been playing really well, you know, and I 952 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 11: would argue give him more carries than you have been 953 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 11: giving him. 954 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 12: But there's not nothing. 955 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 11: To say that you can't utilize both backs to your advantage. 956 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 11: So just don't get so caught up in this whole 957 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 11: thing of oh, well he's playing well, we're just going 958 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 11: to play him, because you'll miss out on the opportunity. 959 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: It's good advice. 960 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 10: Former Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart getting his thoughts on 961 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,320 Speaker 10: the run game for the Panthers. What about Adam Thielen 962 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 10: You mentioned him earlier, top target for the Panthers right 963 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,280 Speaker 10: now four touchdowns, leads the receivers with forty nine catches. 964 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 10: He's targeted more than any other receiver on that roster 965 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 10: and it's not even closed. 966 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 13: I want to say it's more than double. 967 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 10: What about Feelin has really helped him emerge in this offense? 968 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 10: And why can't defenses stop him if they know he's 969 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 10: the top target? 970 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 11: I mean, if you go back and look at him 971 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 11: in Minnesota. You know, every time they were in the 972 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 11: red zone, it was a back shoulder touchdown or in 973 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 11: the back of the end zone, like. 974 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 12: You know where these guys are going to go. 975 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 11: It's just that he understands and spacing, and I think 976 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 11: you understands. I think you look at receivers that that 977 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 11: are just always open. You look at Travis Kelsey, he's 978 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 11: got the same same thing. It's like, well, you know 979 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 11: he's gonna They're going to try to get him the ball. 980 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 11: How do you get him the ball? I think right 981 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 11: now you're seeing chemistry develop between a quarterback and a 982 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 11: receiver where the receiver is comfortable of knowing where he's 983 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 11: going to be and he's going to be there no 984 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 11: matter what. So now a quarterback, depending on the route combinations, 985 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 11: he can give certain glances, give certain timing pats on 986 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 11: the ball to where if something's not open, he knows 987 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 11: who is. And it's all about progressions, you know. And 988 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 11: but as a defense, you have a lot of principles 989 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 11: that you're supposed to follow because if you're not, that's 990 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,240 Speaker 11: when you get caught slipping and there's a big play. 991 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 11: So I think both of them understand what the defense 992 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 11: is supposed to do and where they're supposed to be 993 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 11: in certain formations, in certain alignments, and they take advantage 994 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 11: of that, and you know, you're seeing two smart football 995 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 11: players operate at a high level. Or reminded me very 996 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 11: similar of how Cam Newton and Greg Olsen were just 997 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 11: always on the same page, understanding what the dad on 998 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:10,240 Speaker 11: the distances are, understanding what defense coverages, and just finding 999 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 11: that spot every single time and then obviously having the 1000 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 11: sure hands to catch it. 1001 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 12: That makes a quarterback very comfortable. 1002 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 2: All right. 1003 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 10: Speaking of defense, the Panthers defense with Derek Brown and 1004 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 10: Brian Burns, who leads the team with four sacks, what 1005 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 10: have you seen from those guys and just the defense 1006 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 10: up front so far this year? 1007 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, the defense has been holding down. I mean they've 1008 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 11: been keeping us in games here and there that they 1009 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 11: you know, they give us some big plays, but you know, 1010 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 11: you look at the injury report. I mean we I 1011 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 11: mean from the very jump, I mean we lose Shaq Thompson, 1012 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 11: you know, leader of the defense, j C. 1013 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 12: Horn, you know Von Bell who we just got. 1014 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,240 Speaker 11: You know this offseason, there's just a lot of guys 1015 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 11: that are supposed to be your A one defenders that 1016 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 11: you know are sitting the sideline having to watch, and 1017 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 11: you got these younger guys coming up and making plays 1018 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 11: and making a statement. You know that they're pro as well, 1019 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 11: and you know it's tough. Like again, it's tough to 1020 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 11: win these games when you don't have the guys that 1021 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 11: you expect to be out there. And so, I mean, 1022 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 11: the defense has been doing all they can, especially running 1023 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,720 Speaker 11: a new defense and having certain guys like I said earlier, 1024 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 11: you know, they're running up three to four defense and 1025 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 11: there's probably certain guys that you know, might not be 1026 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 11: accustomed to you know, their job description at the moment, 1027 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 11: but you can see over the course of the time 1028 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 11: and the course of the year, they've been getting more 1029 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 11: of a hang of it. 1030 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 12: And I think it's you know, things. 1031 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 11: Aren't going well for the you know, oh to six 1032 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 11: right now, But like I said, this is a reset button. 1033 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 11: If you're a Panther fan, you got to have that 1034 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 11: mindset and not that you're looking forward to next year. 1035 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 11: Just watch as this year goes on and how this 1036 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 11: team comes comes into fruition, especially. 1037 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 12: As guys he love. 1038 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm glad you brought up the injuries for the 1039 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 10: defense certainly decimated by injuries. Are is there any players 1040 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 10: that might be coming back for Sunday's game against the Texans? 1041 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 11: You know, I know if Frankie Lulu had a hip 1042 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,839 Speaker 11: injury with this past game, it's it's kind of hard 1043 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 11: to say. I think a lot of these guys are 1044 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 11: gonna try to, you know, come out and play. It's 1045 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 11: optimistic to see guys like Frankie, like I just mentioned, 1046 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,760 Speaker 11: practicing throughout this week in a red jersey, which means, 1047 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 11: you know, sometimes that are just trying to preserve his 1048 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 11: body and just kind of give him time to tell 1049 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 11: whether or not he's ready to go. So there's a 1050 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 11: lot of bat that's bouncing around, So we'll see. Unless 1051 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 11: the guy's on ir there's always a chance. 1052 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,319 Speaker 10: All right, sounds good looking forward to it. That's Pro 1053 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 10: Bowl running back Jonathan Stewart for the Panthers.

He's the kind of guy you really hope 1059 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 1: Damian Pierce can't turn into contact balance. I mean just 1060 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,800 Speaker 1: he was so good, man, he was really really good. 1061 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,760 Speaker 1: Also good. Well, Dino Vasso has done a great job 1062 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: with the cornerbacks. We will catch up with him next 1063 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access. We got one our down, 1064 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: one hour left to go.

And once in my lifetime I 1067 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 1: played cornerback. It was a long time ago and probably 1068 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 1: wasn't meant to do it, but I really learned to 1069 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: appreciate the position, how difficult it is. The man who 1070 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 1: coaches that position for the Houston Texans said, now, with 1071 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: Mark and I we talked about any number of things. 1072 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,840 Speaker 1: Here's Dino Vaso, cornerbacks coach for your Houston Texans. 1073 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 4: Here in the hun Day Texans radio studio, it's cornerbacks 1074 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 4: coach Dino Vasso. 1075 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 3: Dino, how's it going going great? Great to have you 1076 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 3: with us. 1077 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 4: This is the first time you've been in this studio 1078 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 4: with both of us, at least. 1079 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, with both of us. Yeah, No, Coach Ross is 1080 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: trying to give you a hard time. It's a hot seat. 1081 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:48,879 Speaker 9: Not really. 1082 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 3: We just talk ball. 1083 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 2: That's all we do. 1084 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's coach, Let's start with a guy that you 1085 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,879 Speaker 1: brought in this offseason, and that was brought intoft season, 1086 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 1: Shack Griffin. 1087 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,400 Speaker 3: What if Shack meant to the defense. 1088 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 1: Stepping in so obviously had a lot of experience, but 1089 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: what do you mean coming to this team and providing 1090 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: the play when Derek went out. 1091 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 14: Yeah, just veteran leadership and he's doing exactly what we 1092 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 14: anticipated that he would do. I think his greatest quality 1093 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,280 Speaker 14: is that he's confident. Yeah, and that's half the battle 1094 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 14: when you're playing corner. He's been out there, he's playing, 1095 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 14: confident in making plays and he's been a great addition 1096 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 14: for us. 1097 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 4: Let's talk about the play of Steven Nelson. Three picks 1098 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 4: tied for the league lead, and he's really meant a 1099 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 4: lot to you as well. It's not just about the interceptions. Obviously, 1100 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,319 Speaker 4: he's a leader. Describe what he does for you back there. 1101 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 14: Yeah, I've said this before. I've known Steve for a 1102 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 14: long time, almost a decade now. Is with him as 1103 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 14: a rookie in Kansas City. Wow, And yeah, he's always 1104 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 14: been this way. Just the mentality at practice, every rep 1105 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 14: matters to him. So It's not a shock to me 1106 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 14: that he's making plays out there because I see it 1107 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 14: every day in practice. 1108 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: You talk about confidence and playing that position, you got 1109 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 1: to have confidence, and Steven strikes me as a guy 1110 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't lose his How do you how do you 1111 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: ensure as a coach that a corner doesn't lose confidence? 1112 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 1: You know in that game against his ay, think it 1113 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: was a great example of it. He has the opportunity 1114 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: for the pick six at the beginning, two plays later 1115 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 1: gave up the deep shot. You would think, man, oh, 1116 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't have the confidence, maybe he's lost 1117 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 1: even more than what he's got. How do you kind 1118 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: of help a guy maintain that confidence and make sure 1119 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: that at that position in particular, players are going to 1120 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 1: be up and down. 1121 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 3: How do you help him maintain that confidence? 1122 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 14: As a coach, you can help him by keeping your composure. Yeah, 1123 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 14: you can't ask your guys to be composed and then 1124 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 14: they come to the sideline and you're losing your mind. Right, 1125 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,919 Speaker 14: So we try to not stay too high or too low, 1126 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 14: just kind of even kill. That's what we ask for 1127 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 14: our players, and that's what we do on the sideline. 1128 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 4: This coach, Yeah, Dano Vasco joining US coaches cornerbacks, describe 1129 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,360 Speaker 4: what a nickel does for the listeners. We know he 1130 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 4: covers the slot, but why is it so difficult and different? 1131 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 4: What do you look for in a nickel corner? 1132 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's kind of a hybrid position. 1133 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 14: Over the last fifteen to twenty years or so, it's 1134 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 14: a lot more value than it was in the past. 1135 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 14: But you're a little bit of a corner, a little 1136 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 14: bit of a safety. 1137 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 13: A little bit of a linebacker. 1138 00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 14: Right, you got to be able to cover, you got 1139 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 14: to be able to handle the run fits blitz. So 1140 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 14: you're kind of our Swiss army knife because you're you're 1141 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 14: really doing everything on the field for us in the 1142 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 14: past game and as well in the run game. 1143 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: Not that we wanted the utiway state secrets. But you know, 1144 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: how different is this year versus last year? Just scheme 1145 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: wise and for you having to learn maybe you know 1146 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 1: quarters a quarters. You know, the coverages are probably similar, 1147 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,720 Speaker 1: but I'm sure there were nuances with last year's defense 1148 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: defense for that and this year's defense. How was it 1149 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: for you kind of learning all of that in I mean, 1150 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 1: you're here for what third year, but yet this is 1151 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: the second defense that you're learning. 1152 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:35,400 Speaker 3: How is it kind of for you to teach that. 1153 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 14: Yeah, I've been in similar schemes to this. If you 1154 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,919 Speaker 14: go back to Philadelphia, we were a similar scheme to this. Yeah, 1155 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 14: particularly in the front. The coverage is a little bit different, 1156 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 14: but I've worked with Corey Unlin and Matt Burke in 1157 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 14: the past, so the terminalogy was relatively similar. So it 1158 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 14: has changed for the players definitely, because we're a little 1159 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 14: bit more man conscious and even our zone calls here 1160 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 14: have a little bit more principles to them, So you're 1161 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,879 Speaker 14: a little bit more man in pattern match zones here 1162 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 14: relative to last year where we were more spot drop 1163 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 14: zone team. 1164 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 13: We were visual on the quarterback. 1165 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 14: When you're a spot drop zone team, the quarterback is 1166 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,359 Speaker 14: gonna tell you everything you need to know. You're looking 1167 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,399 Speaker 14: at the quarterback when you're pattern matching routes. Routes tell 1168 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 14: you your responsibility. That dictates your responsibility, and that's kind 1169 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 14: of the way we're structuring some of our defenses now. 1170 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 4: Coach, you've been here since twenty twenty one. You've been 1171 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,799 Speaker 4: through some tough times here, you've been through some great 1172 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 4: times Philadelphia with a. 1173 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 3: Super Bowl team. 1174 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 4: What are you seeing in this group right now as 1175 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 4: the Texans and bark on. It's not the second half 1176 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,760 Speaker 4: of the season, but whatever comes after the buye. 1177 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, particularly in our room. I've said this to our guys. 1178 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 14: This is as talented as a room as I've been around, 1179 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 14: and I've been some talented ones in Kansas City and 1180 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 14: in Philadelphia. We got leadership, We got guys that can 1181 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 14: play multiple positions, can cover, and then are productive in 1182 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:55,960 Speaker 14: the run game. 1183 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: So coach, I would imagine there are a lot of 1184 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 1: people that want to they want to ask you about Derek. 1185 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: You know, Derek hasn't been playing, but you know getting himself. 1186 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 1: You know in games one and two, what do you 1187 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,839 Speaker 1: see in Derek And what are you excited about when 1188 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,280 Speaker 1: Derek's able to come back at some point this season. 1189 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 14: Yeah, he's just growing as a player, maturing as a player. 1190 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 14: And then the time on task is just is imperative 1191 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 14: for him, and he's losing that a little bit now. 1192 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,400 Speaker 14: But he's he's still in the meetings, he's still learning 1193 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 14: and taking those mental reps. But those first two weeks 1194 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 14: were huge for him, particularly because we're in a new 1195 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,800 Speaker 14: scheme and again we're doing some some different things relative 1196 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 14: to last year. But yeah, time on task and just 1197 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,399 Speaker 14: maturing and continue to grow as a player. He's he's 1198 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 14: been doing that and I'm grateful to be around him. 1199 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,120 Speaker 4: Did del Vasso cornerbacks coach with us on Texans Radio? Okay, 1200 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 4: so you're from Philadelphia, right and you went to the 1201 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 4: University of New Hampshire. I've actually done games there. I 1202 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 4: was at U Bass. We went to U n H 1203 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 4: many times. Have you talked to also Texans director of 1204 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 4: Security Brett Nakara about going up to because he played there? 1205 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 3: All right, this is New England football talk. 1206 00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 14: We go black bear hunting a couple of Yeah, we 1207 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 14: talk about that. We played for the Musket. It used 1208 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,919 Speaker 14: to be the last year of the game. Now last 1209 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 14: game of the year now they kind of move it around. Yeah, 1210 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 14: but that's our that's our rival. University of So you 1211 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,360 Speaker 14: played dB in college. Splain corner, YEP, Splain Corner. 1212 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 1: Very nice. Yeah, New England football is where it's at. 1213 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think much, but I mean we try, 1214 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 1: we try. I mean we weren't. You know, we weren't 1215 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 1: exceptional back when I was like, we're starting to get 1216 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 1: some things done. But I know the IVY League is 1217 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: kind of kind of looked down upon in some sense. Oh, 1218 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 1: you guys are a bunch of smart guys. They played 1219 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 1: football to play football too. Okay, since you are from Philly, 1220 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,200 Speaker 1: we've got to ask the Phillies lose too straight? 1221 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 3: How much did that sting? 1222 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: And by the way, did you see the video of 1223 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,919 Speaker 1: the guy that was standing outside what his assistance Bank 1224 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: Park and he's he's interviewing the fans and they're coming 1225 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: out of game seven of you see that? 1226 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 14: My brother sent me that the other I mean, that's 1227 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 14: that's I wasn't shocked by it. 1228 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:50,720 Speaker 3: That's how Philly fans. 1229 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 13: I was one of those fans at one point. 1230 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1231 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 4: What is it about Philly fans though? Because broad straight 1232 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 4: it's a unique place, right, I mean you're dealing with 1233 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 4: the Eagles, the Philly is the Sixers fans back in 1234 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 4: the day played at the Spectrum and then later on 1235 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 4: where they play now all of it. 1236 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a blue collar town 1237 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 14: and they're they're very passionate about their sports and they 1238 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,879 Speaker 14: show that in unique ways. 1239 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, but they show that. 1240 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got a whole different language something that we 1241 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 1: can't really say on the air, But as you guys 1242 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 1: are making the Super Bowl run being from Philly, and 1243 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of different videos of people that 1244 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,879 Speaker 1: are you know, actors and and you know famous people 1245 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 1: that have been from Philly that just that moment of 1246 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: them winning the world or winning the super Bowl was 1247 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,759 Speaker 1: just almost overwhelming for them. For you being from Philly, 1248 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 1: I know you're right in the midst of your coaching 1249 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,040 Speaker 1: a game, you're doing those things, but are you kind 1250 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,319 Speaker 1: of taking it all in? Like, I've never seen my 1251 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: team win a super Bowl. I've never seen my team 1252 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 1: win a championship like this. How is that feeling for 1253 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,919 Speaker 1: you a Philadelphia citizen seeing your team when you're coaching 1254 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:49,719 Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl? 1255 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's a good point. 1256 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 14: Like when you're in it, you don't you don't really 1257 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 14: realize how big it is. And then when you take 1258 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 14: a step back, and then you look at your family 1259 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 14: and mom and my entire family's Eagles, And so when 1260 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,319 Speaker 14: I got this experience with them, then I could take 1261 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 14: a step back and enjoined a little bit more. Because 1262 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 14: when you're in it and entrenched in it, yeah, you don't, 1263 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,399 Speaker 14: you don't have that fan perspective. Yeah, but again, looking 1264 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 14: at my family and my brothers and my mom and 1265 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:14,439 Speaker 14: what that meant to them. 1266 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 13: That was awesome. 1267 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 4: Well, you worked for Doug Peterson. Last year Texans beat 1268 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 4: the Jags down there with Doug Peterson coaching. I know 1269 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,240 Speaker 4: up here didn't go as well this year. Decisive victory 1270 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 4: down there. What do you see when you see the 1271 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 4: Doug Peterson Jaguars does it remind you a bit of 1272 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 4: what he was doing with the Eagles, at least in 1273 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:33,839 Speaker 4: the early going. 1274 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 3: I mean, how do you see that? 1275 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 14: Yeah, Press was with us as well as the offensive 1276 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 14: coordinator who's with us in Philly, and they're doing some 1277 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 14: of the same things that they did with the Eagles. 1278 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 14: The scheme has grown a little bit and evolved, but 1279 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,759 Speaker 14: the nuts and bolts and the. 1280 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 13: Principals are still their same stuff that they were doing 1281 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 13: in Philly. 1282 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 3: Do you know we talked about confidence. 1283 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,120 Speaker 1: We're talking about amongst your group and your position because 1284 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 1: I agree with you, Horley, I feel like that position's 1285 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 1: got to have more confidence maybe, and even the quarterback 1286 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,760 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. But it feels 1287 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: like this team has an energy and of confidence that 1288 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: it hasn't had maybe a year's prior. 1289 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:06,720 Speaker 3: For whatever reason. 1290 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,799 Speaker 1: Do you sense that, do you censor's a different energy 1291 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 1: and a different vibe with this particular team. Then you 1292 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: can remember maybe not a years past, but just different 1293 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: even from week to week and getting that win over Jacksonville, 1294 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 1: What did that do to the confidence and energy of 1295 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 1: this team? 1296 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 14: I think just winning is contagious, and you start to 1297 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 14: stack a couple of wins and it becomes the norm. 1298 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 13: We expect to win. 1299 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:28,760 Speaker 14: Not to say that we didn't expect to win in 1300 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 14: the past, right, but we take the grass on Sunday 1301 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 14: and we're out there, we expect to win. 1302 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 3: Outstanding coach. 1303 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 13: Thanks a lot, good luck, appreciate it, guys. Thank you. 1304 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,919 Speaker 1: So one of my favorite things is finding out where 1305 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 1: people are from, talking to him about their hometown, what 1306 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: they did growing up, etc. And obviously we got in 1307 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 1: that a little bit with Dino Vasso and I wanted 1308 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 1: one last question, so I asked it off the air, 1309 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 1: but I thought it was kind of interesting. I said, 1310 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 1: where you're from? I was thinking about where people are from. 1311 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: So he's from Philly. Think about where you're from. You're 1312 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: from Houston, right? If you could wear one jersey of 1313 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: one player, who would it be like as a fan, 1314 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: You're a fan of your city, Like, what jersey would 1315 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,280 Speaker 1: it be? I know what mine is, but I'm not 1316 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 1: gonna say because I don't want anybody to feel upset. 1317 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: Let's just say that that jersey already have framed, autographed 1318 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: and he's going on a wall, But that would be 1319 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: the one I would do. 1320 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 2: All right, It's a red ninety nine J. J. Watt Jersey. Now. 1321 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 2: I asked that question Adino Vasso, I said, who would 1322 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 2: it be? Philly? You got so many to pick from? 1323 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 2: Who would your eagles? Who your birds? 1324 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,640 Speaker 1: Jersey be thought about for a second, and no surprise 1325 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: to pick the defensive back. 1326 00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,640 Speaker 2: Brian Dawkins made all. 1327 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: The sense of the world, and that's who he said 1328 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 1: it would be, So I yeah, I could see that. 1329 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 12: One. 1330 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 1: The reason I asked that is when weever we go 1331 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 1: on the road, I always find it fascinating to see 1332 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 1: the crowd and what the crowd wears, what jerseys are 1333 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: they wearing. In places like Philly in particular, you can 1334 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 1: go all the all the way back to the bed 1335 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: and Erik nineteen sixties, even before that, like a Steve 1336 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 1: Van Buren retro Jersey, then the seventies with Dwarski and 1337 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 1: Harold Carmichael, etcetera. The eighties, Mike Quick and those Kelly 1338 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 1: Green jerseys, and then you get into the nineties two thousands, 1339 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 1: you start talking about Brian Dawkins. So many different players 1340 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: can go and then of course the current players. But 1341 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,840 Speaker 1: he chose Brian Dawkins, and I thought that made a 1342 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: ton of sense. All right, we get back. I gotta 1343 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: make my picks straight up and against the spread. It's 1344 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 1: my way to compete and go around in the NFL 1345 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: at the same time. 1346 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 2: We'll do that next the Texans All Access. What's up? 1347 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 3: Everybody? 1348 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 1: Walking back to this Friday edsue of the Texans All 1349 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: Access from Thenday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, 1350 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 1: John Harris, glad to be with you for this evening's proceedings, 1351 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 1: and we have reached my favorite segments of the show. 1352 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 1: It's not so once they get the show off. I 1353 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: just love talking about the NFL and I love talking 1354 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 1: about games, and I love picking games, and it's kind 1355 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 1: of a competition and kind of in my in my 1356 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 1: own head, like how good can I be picking games 1357 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 1: this week? So I picked straight up and against the 1358 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,400 Speaker 1: spread for fun, for fun, But it's a good way 1359 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 1: to talk about the games of what's going on in 1360 01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 1: the NFL. 1361 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 2: So give me my music. There it is. 1362 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,040 Speaker 1: Let's get hyped and let's pick these games. All right, 1363 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 1: Let's start in Miami. Were last week the Dolphins, Well 1364 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,440 Speaker 1: it was two weeks ago where the Dolphins hammered the 1365 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,360 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. They ended up losing Last Sunday the felled 1366 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 1: off Eagles. So they're back in Miami at five and two. 1367 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 1: The Patriots got big win over the Buffalo Bills, who 1368 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: won last night over the Buccaneers. Dolphins are favored by 1369 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 1: nine and a half at home. I think the Dolphins 1370 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: are gonna end up getting this win, but I think 1371 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,959 Speaker 1: the Patriots found a little something. It found some grit Offensively, 1372 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 1: they found Mac Jones playing effective. So this is Mac 1373 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 1: Jones against Tuatunga via Looa. All there missing is Jalen 1374 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,479 Speaker 1: Hurts and they'll have the complete set of the twenty 1375 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:52,439 Speaker 1: seventeen quarterback room at Alabama. Either way, Dolphins are gonna 1376 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,240 Speaker 1: win this thing. But I'm gonna give the Patriots to cover. 1377 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: You can give them a cover to go down to 1378 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Miami and at least get inside that nine and a half. 1379 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure if feel great about that. But 1380 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots will try and control the game 1381 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 1: with the run. The run game, we'll have a little 1382 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 1: bit of success, but I think the Dolphins are gonna 1383 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 1: end up winning that. But they're gonna do it by 1384 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: fewer than nine and a half points, so it'd be 1385 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: a decisive win, but a little back door covered by 1386 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots. 1387 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 2: All right, Jets are taking on the Giants. How about this? 1388 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: That'll net life three and three. Jets taking on the 1389 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,439 Speaker 1: Giants at two and five. The Giants gotta win. Last 1390 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 1: week wasn't pretty. They beat the Washingon Commanders fourteen to 1391 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,120 Speaker 1: seven to Rod Taylor will start again, No, Daniel Jones, 1392 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: Jets are favored by three. I just think tells you 1393 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 1: the Jets and Giants are pretty close. I'm gonna go 1394 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,680 Speaker 1: with the Jets on this one. Zack Wilson and the 1395 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: Jets come off of bye weeks, A lot made about 1396 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson go back out to Utah and all that 1397 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So the Jets favorite by three. That 1398 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,479 Speaker 1: feels right, So I'm going with it. Jets to win. 1399 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Let's say they're gonna cover. It's not gonna be a 1400 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 1: boy much. I think it's just a four to seven 1401 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,680 Speaker 1: point game. I think it's gonna be just bare knuckle brawl. 1402 01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 1: But we're gonna go with the Jets to win and 1403 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: to cover three. All right, one of the best games 1404 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: of the day. How about this? Two teams one five 1405 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 1: and two, one four and two, both beaten by your Texans, 1406 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. They lead the AFC South. The Steelers are 1407 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: a half game behind the Ravens just because they've played 1408 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 1: one fewer games. Jacksonville's favored by two up in Pittsburgh, 1409 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars. The Jaguars have really never had 1410 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble on Pittsburgh. They've won some big 1411 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 1: games up there. I think they're gonna do it again. 1412 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 1: I think they covered the two. Let's go road favorite 1413 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,000 Speaker 1: to win over the Steelers. Jaguars move the six and 1414 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 1: two before they're by Steelers fall to four and three. 1415 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 1: I'm going Jaguars. It hurts to say it, but that's 1416 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Jaguars over the Steelers. That'll be 1417 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 1: at least a three point win that covers the two. 1418 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 2: Falcons taking on the Titans. 1419 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 1: The Titans will start apparently will Levis and we might 1420 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 1: see Malik Willis and that is a recipe for disaster 1421 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 1: for the Titans, and they'll be wearing the former Houston 1422 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:02,000 Speaker 1: or THEIRS uniforms. There's no way I'm picking the Titans 1423 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form with all that information. Falcons, 1424 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Big go, get another road on the no go, get 1425 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:12,600 Speaker 1: another win on the road, Arthur Smith. Falcons win and 1426 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 1: they cover the two and a half, their favorite two 1427 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 1: and a half. So I'm going with the Falcons to 1428 01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 1: win that game, and hopefully there's a lot of frustration 1429 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 1: on the Titans sideline. Rams are taking on the Cowboys 1430 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 1: in Dallas. Dallas is favored by six. Rams are playing 1431 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:29,120 Speaker 1: better football. Pookinakua has not slowed down. Cooper cup is back, 1432 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's slinging it. He's going back to his well 1433 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,919 Speaker 1: near his home where he went to Highland Park High 1434 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 1: School back in the day. And if you didn't know, 1435 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: he was a teammate of Clinton Kershaw, if you know, 1436 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the Rams. I don't say 1437 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to give him a chance, but I 1438 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are gonna hammer the Rams get the 1439 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 1: five into Rams will fall to three and five, and 1440 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 1: I think Dallas will cover. I think this is like 1441 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:55,920 Speaker 1: twenty four, seventeen thirty one, twenty something like that. I 1442 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 1: think it's somewhere between seven to fourteen point win for 1443 01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys that covers a six Boys gonna win. 1444 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,320 Speaker 2: Let's go to the NFC North and go to. 1445 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:07,479 Speaker 1: Green Bay where the Packers are back two and four, 1446 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: tough loss to the Denver Broncos. And in Lambeau Field, 1447 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 1: the Vikings are favored by a point and a half, 1448 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: and the Vikings have been playing pretty good football, but 1449 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 1: they played Monday night and because of that shorter week, 1450 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Packers in a mild upset 1451 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 1: at home over the Vikings. Jordan Love, I think we'll 1452 01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,919 Speaker 1: find a little bit of something and he will get 1453 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,160 Speaker 1: a win for the Packers as they'll move to three 1454 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 1: and four, the Vikings will fall to three and five. 1455 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 1: So Packers in an upset over the Vikings in Lambeau 1456 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 1: All right, noon game in Indianapolis. Here we go, Saints 1457 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,720 Speaker 1: taking on the Colts. As we know NFC South, AFC 1458 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:52,640 Speaker 1: South matching up. So the Saints took on the Jaguars 1459 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 1: on Thursday night. They're coming off the mini By and 1460 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 1: the cults are waiting for him with Gardner Minshew. The 1461 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 1: Cults are coming off that tough loss Cleveland Browns, and 1462 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: you want it's a favored by one. I don't think 1463 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: that's the right thing. I hate doing this, but I'm 1464 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 1: gonna go Colts at home to beat the Saints. I 1465 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,400 Speaker 1: think the Saints are a little bit of a mess 1466 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 1: right now, So I'm gonna go with the Colts with 1467 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 1: a mild mild upset and definitely. 1468 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 2: To cover that one for sure. Eagles and Commanders in Washington. 1469 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,920 Speaker 2: Eagles coming off that win over the Dolphins. You started 1470 01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 2: to see them flying themselves. 1471 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: Commanders, lookout, Phillis fair by seven, Philadelphia win by fourteen. 1472 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,840 Speaker 1: This will be thirty five, twenty one, twenty eight, fourteen. 1473 01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 1: I think that Sam how will be running for his 1474 01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,440 Speaker 1: life yet again. Win for the Eagles. 1475 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 2: Cover for the Eagles the Browns. With PJ. 1476 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 1: Walker starting, We'll go out to Seattle. Seattle's fair bout 1477 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 1: three and a half. Let's lay the three and a half, 1478 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 1: take the Seahawks. They'll beat the Browns by a touchdown. 1479 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: I like the Seahawks here to move to five and two. 1480 01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 1: Baltimore is a nine and a half point favorite out 1481 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 1: in the desert against the Arizona Cardinals. 1482 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,480 Speaker 2: I think they'll cover that relatively easily. First half. 1483 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 1: Cardinals will hang in there, the Ravens will eventually move 1484 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 1: on with a two touchdown win. Ravens went on the 1485 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,920 Speaker 1: road and cover the chief taking on the Broncos in 1486 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:08,240 Speaker 1: the afternoon. The Broncos are seven point underdogs the Chiefs, 1487 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The Chiefs are that much better. Chiefs will 1488 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 1: win that. They'll cover the seven. It'll be close, though, 1489 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:15,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say ten points thirty four to twenty four. 1490 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,439 Speaker 1: Chiefs get the win and the cover. 1491 01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 2: Bengals taking on. 1492 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers and I'm going with an upset here. 1493 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 1: The Bengals will beat the forty nine Ers straight out 1494 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,760 Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, Bears taking on the Chargers. Tyson Bajor 1495 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,560 Speaker 1: will start for the Chicago Bears against the Chargers. This 1496 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 1: time they'll get got because the Charger are gonna win 1497 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 1: that and cover the eight and a half at home. 1498 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,960 Speaker 2: I'm thinking thirty eight seventeen Chargers and that's gonna do it. 1499 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 1: Coming up next, Drew's dozen with Henry Toatoa and the 1500 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: ultimate eleven offensive plays of the first six games of 1501 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 1: the year. 1502 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 2: That's next the Texans All Access. 1503 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,000 Speaker 1: We got one finals segment of this edition of Texans 1504 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,840 Speaker 1: All Access TGIFF edition of Texans All Access, and I 1505 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 1: thought we had some fun with this final segment catching 1506 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: up with Henry too Toa.

So Tuesday nights, I do 1729 01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 1: a show like I said, Texans matchup, and I feature. 1730 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 2: The ultimate eleven plays of that game. 1731 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,520 Speaker 1: Wells bye week, so I did the offense and defense 1732 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:53,839 Speaker 1: Ultimate elevens. 1733 01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:55,320 Speaker 2: Here is the offense. 1734 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,840 Speaker 1: So we started at number eleven on offense and it 1735 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 1: was seemingly just a simple en route catch near the 1736 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 1: end of a game in which the Texans were not 1737 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:11,560 Speaker 1: playing extremely well against Innapolis Colts. But it was the 1738 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:18,439 Speaker 1: first ever NFL regular season catch for John Metchi and 1739 01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,000 Speaker 1: mets has been included more and more and more in 1740 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: the offense. 1741 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:22,720 Speaker 3: He's added more and more. 1742 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:26,960 Speaker 1: But to understand why I put this at number eleven, 1743 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,679 Speaker 1: you got to rewind all the way back to December sixth, 1744 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,479 Speaker 1: fifth six of twenty twenty one, playing the SEC Championship 1745 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 1: game right there in Mercedes Been Stadium, Tears' ACL against 1746 01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: Georgia ends up missing you know, months of time. But 1747 01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 1: it sounds like he is gonna be back, right, He's 1748 01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: gonna be back, No huge dealer, is gonna get back 1749 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,559 Speaker 1: about halfway through his rookie year, kinna work the kinks out. 1750 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,320 Speaker 1: May he's gonna be ready to roll for twenty twenty three. 1751 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,960 Speaker 1: And then well we kind of know the rest leukemia 1752 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,880 Speaker 1: strikes him. He's got to fight through that battle, and 1753 01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,120 Speaker 1: then he's got to get through some other injuries during 1754 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,160 Speaker 1: the offseason to kind of get himself ready for the season. 1755 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,640 Speaker 1: He kind of during training camp they were kind of 1756 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,439 Speaker 1: measured with how much they used him. Well, it came 1757 01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 1: to the Indneapolis game when he was healthy for the 1758 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 1: first time and actor for the first time, and he 1759 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,680 Speaker 1: ended up making this catch. And like I said, it 1760 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,960 Speaker 1: sounds like a simple catch, but to know who it 1761 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 1: is making this catch. It comes in number eleven. John 1762 01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,440 Speaker 1: Metchi's first career catches a Texan. 1763 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,639 Speaker 3: Fourteen seconds to go.

Texans keep the 1810 01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:39,000 Speaker 4: drive alive with a thirty two yard play and we. 1811 01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 2: Are starting to see some young players grow up right. 1812 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,400 Speaker 1: Before our eye, and Nico would get in the end 1813 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,800 Speaker 1: zone for the very first time in that game. This 1814 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,599 Speaker 1: happened earlier in the game to making fourteen to seven. 1815 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 1: It was Nico's first touchdown of the season. It was 1816 01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 1: also CJ. Stroud's first regular season touchdown as well. I 1817 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,160 Speaker 1: put it at ten D because it just caps off 1818 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: the day that Nico had against the Indianapolis Colts alongside 1819 01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:05,960 Speaker 1: his pal CJ. 1820 01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 4: Stroud straudleagun third and six at the Colts eight one 1821 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 4: back singletary. CJ gets the snap looking CJ firing to 1822 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:18,679 Speaker 4: the end zone and caught touchdown Zico Collins eight yard 1823 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,680 Speaker 4: TD pass the first That's c J. Stroud's career and 1824 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 4: it cuts the lead in half. 1825 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,760 Speaker 1: Big day for Nico had that touchdown. I think it 1826 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:31,640 Speaker 1: was seven for one forty six in that ballgame. Announced 1827 01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,360 Speaker 1: his presence with a thirty against the Colts. 1828 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,960 Speaker 3: Ten A, B, C and D. 1829 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: All right, number ten four different pieces. Number nine is 1830 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,479 Speaker 1: just one. Now sometimes I'll do this just because I'm 1831 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,080 Speaker 1: having fun with it. I'll end up Hey number eight 1832 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,320 Speaker 1: and number eight, number seven and number seven did a 1833 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,000 Speaker 1: lot with Keymie Fairbairn when he was kicking field goals. 1834 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 1: I would put them at but Hey, number seven, number seven, 1835 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,200 Speaker 1: I honestly didn't mean to do this. I didn't realize 1836 01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 1: it until just now that I had done this. But 1837 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,639 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, the Texans had scored early on Tank Dell 1838 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 1: deep ball, Damian Pier's one yard run gave a seven 1839 01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,560 Speaker 1: to zering lead. They got the ball back in the 1840 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,560 Speaker 1: second quarter, moved it down, got the ball in the 1841 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,120 Speaker 1: red zone, and the red zone had been kind of 1842 01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,639 Speaker 1: the bugaboo of the team to that point. Man, could 1843 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,400 Speaker 1: they score in the red zone. They were over against Baltimore, 1844 01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:19,559 Speaker 1: a little bit better against the Colts than that great 1845 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:20,840 Speaker 1: well against the Jags. 1846 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,479 Speaker 3: They were already one for one. They're about to go 1847 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,120 Speaker 3: two for two when CJ. 1848 01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:28,559 Speaker 1: Stroud found number nine at number nine, Brevin Jordan getting 1849 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 1: himself in the mix. Loved seeing Brev get in the 1850 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 1: enzone in a nice adjustment on this catch and it 1851 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 1: comes in at number nine. Brevin George's touchdown catch against 1852 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,160 Speaker 1: Jacksonville in the win in Week three. 1853 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:43,080 Speaker 4: Third and a long one inside the Jacksonville five. Stroud 1854 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 4: and the gun going to his left. Dell in motion 1855 01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,519 Speaker 4: to the left. CJ takes the snap, looking left, throws 1856 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:53,880 Speaker 4: that way. Man, it's caught, touchdown Brevin Jordan. Texans go 1857 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,559 Speaker 4: up two scores to Now I'm Jacksonville and welcome back 1858 01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 4: Brevin who played last week and Cash has in for 1859 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:01,719 Speaker 4: six this week. 1860 01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,400 Speaker 1: Now number eight is going to be awkward in some 1861 01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:09,599 Speaker 1: sense for one particular good friend of mine, because you're 1862 01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,800 Speaker 1: not gonna hear Mark Vanderbern make this call on either 1863 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,479 Speaker 1: one of these two plays at number eight. 1864 01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:17,559 Speaker 2: And they were back to back plays. 1865 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:19,719 Speaker 1: The Texans had got in the ball under a minute 1866 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now let me set the scene here. 1867 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,600 Speaker 1: It was JJ wattey. He was going up in the 1868 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,080 Speaker 1: ring of honor. We have done this three times, and 1869 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 1: we have done the same thing all three times, and 1870 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,559 Speaker 1: that is Mark's got to go now with the coaches 1871 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,800 Speaker 1: to catch the elevator elevator etiquett. In the NFL, it's 1872 01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,599 Speaker 1: a little different. You can't the elevators are shut down 1873 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:45,080 Speaker 1: only for the coaches at halftime at certain times. So 1874 01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,320 Speaker 1: Mark's going to catch that elevator with the coaches. So 1875 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,720 Speaker 1: what that means is he has to bail out a 1876 01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 1: few plays early. Well, we did this against I think 1877 01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 1: it was Atlanta Falcons. We took a knee I think 1878 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,679 Speaker 1: on two plays. Well against the Indieapolis Colts. 1879 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 2: This year. 1880 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,400 Speaker 1: We did not take a knee and Andre Ware took 1881 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:07,200 Speaker 1: over and it was back to back throws to Nico Collins, 1882 01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 1: one for forty two yards, one for fifteen and Drey 1883 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 1: called them perfectly eight A and eight B. Dre on 1884 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 1: the mic giving you the play by play for Nico 1885 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:21,320 Speaker 1: Collins big fifty seven yards of two catches from CJ. 1886 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:22,960 Speaker 3: Stroud eight A and eight. 1887 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:27,040 Speaker 16: B CJ back to pass over the middle Nico Collins 1888 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,439 Speaker 16: to the forty forty five fifty Collins to the forty 1889 01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:35,240 Speaker 16: thirty five yard line. Big plays by Nicocollins twenty nine 1890 01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:37,680 Speaker 16: seconds left in the quarter, trying to get to the 1891 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 16: line of scrimmage to spike the ball. That's executed with 1892 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 16: about twenty one seconds, so the Texans put themselves in 1893 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 16: a position to at least add a field goal to 1894 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,519 Speaker 16: their thirteen point lead. Forty two yard throw and catch 1895 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:58,160 Speaker 16: from CJ. Stroud to Nicocollins. Texans break the huddle. Shultz 1896 01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 16: to the right side of the formation along with Singletary 1897 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:06,559 Speaker 16: in the backfield, shotgun for CJ. Stroud looking through tunnel 1898 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,160 Speaker 16: screen to Nico. Nico breaks the tackle. He's to the 1899 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 16: thirty twenty five oh A Soux string tackle by Mika 1900 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 16: Fitzpatrick hits him down around the twenty one yard line. 1901 01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:20,000 Speaker 1: Tack go quickly to the line of scrimmage. He's gonna 1902 01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 1: spike it again. That was the second week in row. 1903 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 1: The Texans that kicked the field goal on the last 1904 01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: play of the half with a tremendous second half drive 1905 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,559 Speaker 1: handled situational football extremely well. They would do it again 1906 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,640 Speaker 1: against the Falcons the following week, getting that field goal 1907 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:35,479 Speaker 1: right before the half. 1908 01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,040 Speaker 3: But Dre made some great calls. 1909 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:38,879 Speaker 2: CJ. Stroud makes some great passes. 1910 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Nico Collins made two great catches and runs after the catch. Boy, 1911 01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 1: those were absolutely huge. Okay, let's get to number seven. 1912 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:53,800 Speaker 1: At number seven with some help from number three. When 1913 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 1: Tank Dell was drafted, this city went nuts. He's not 1914 01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,599 Speaker 1: from Houston, but man, he is of Houston, There's no question. 1915 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,360 Speaker 1: After spending is his life in Florida, he eventually got 1916 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 1: to the University of Houston and he is beloved by 1917 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,360 Speaker 1: Cougar fans, by people in the city of Houston, and man, 1918 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,080 Speaker 1: people were so excited about the link up. 1919 01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:12,400 Speaker 3: CJ. 1920 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,040 Speaker 1: Strouded Tank Dell. When was it gonna happen? How are 1921 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 1: they gonna get together well. In the first game they 1922 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 1: hooked up I think about three times, but it was 1923 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,760 Speaker 1: against the Colts in the second half where Tank Dell 1924 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 1: was able to make a catch and then show the 1925 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: speed for his first touchdown in the NFL on a 1926 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:32,240 Speaker 1: throw from c J. 1927 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,880 Speaker 2: Stroud. It's number seven, c J. 1928 01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:39,360 Speaker 1: Stroud to number three, Tank Dell at number seven and 1929 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:42,519 Speaker 1: are ultimate eleven. This touchdown will be Tank's first, won't 1930 01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,720 Speaker 1: be his last, would not be his last, but it's 1931 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:46,439 Speaker 1: his first, and you always remember your first. 1932 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,200 Speaker 4: Against the Colts, no huddle, Texan's up the twenty three 1933 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,559 Speaker 4: first down. Strout of the gun gets the snap, throws 1934 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:55,160 Speaker 4: right side, he hits, Tank loses a man, text. 1935 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:59,360 Speaker 15: It across the five rock and roll touchdown. Stroud to Deell. 1936 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 2: Keep that one, young man, that first one. 1937 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 1: Speaking of first man at Texans, and I don't want 1938 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,320 Speaker 1: to say they struggled in the red zone a little bit, 1939 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:13,519 Speaker 1: but they did have some offensive struggles against a good 1940 01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,760 Speaker 1: defense in the New Orleans Saints. But when they got 1941 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:20,400 Speaker 1: down into the north end zone area, into the low 1942 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,679 Speaker 1: red zone, it's time for Bobby Trees to do something 1943 01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 1: that well, he does a lot on third down. That's 1944 01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 1: make a catch. The guy has been third down dominant. 1945 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 1: Now against the Saints, you only had one catch, but 1946 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:36,440 Speaker 1: it ended up being this one. Robert Woods first touchdown 1947 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:38,920 Speaker 1: as a Texan, and man it was a good one 1948 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 1: and a needed one provided the distance in a twenty 1949 01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,639 Speaker 1: to thirteen winner over the New Orleans Saints. 1950 01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 3: Robert Woods gets in the end zone. 1951 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,880 Speaker 1: Now, this was a play the Texans had run the 1952 01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:52,559 Speaker 1: week prior against the Falcons right before the half. They 1953 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 1: kicked that fueld goal on the last play the half, 1954 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 1: or I guess what with the last effective player the half. 1955 01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,080 Speaker 1: I think there was like two seconds left after Kym 1956 01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,000 Speaker 1: he hit a fuegal to make it nine seven against 1957 01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:04,639 Speaker 1: the Falcons, but Robert Woods was wide open. CJ saw 1958 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 1: him and Grady Jarrett got a paw up and knocked 1959 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:07,559 Speaker 1: it down. 1960 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:08,320 Speaker 3: Robert Woods. 1961 01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,640 Speaker 1: We had a walking touchdown the I don't know his 1962 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,680 Speaker 1: exact same play, but pretty arnt close.

It's like you don't really jump 2006 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:23,719 Speaker 1: for it, but it's kind of high. And sometimes receivers 2007 01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:25,080 Speaker 1: liked this. I always liked those because I had to 2008 01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:26,840 Speaker 1: use my hands to get it. As the ball that 2009 01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 1: went through Dalton Schultz's hands, I just remember, man, and 2010 01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,320 Speaker 1: this Dalton Schultz thing. I don't know, man, the rest 2011 01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:36,080 Speaker 1: of these receivers are really they're the guys, right and 2012 01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:39,080 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it turned around. Against the Steelers, 2013 01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:41,719 Speaker 1: Dalton had a tremendous game. He had three big catches 2014 01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:43,080 Speaker 1: and we'll get to a couple of those in just 2015 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:47,160 Speaker 1: a second. Then against the Falcons, he was that dude. 2016 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 1: Seven catches. Had that catch at the end of the 2017 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 1: game that was great. Well against the New Orleans Saints, 2018 01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't a long distance, but it definitely was a 2019 01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,400 Speaker 1: great catch, a great throw from CJ. 2020 01:29:59,520 --> 01:29:59,880 Speaker 3: Stroud. 2021 01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:02,479 Speaker 1: So I stuck it in here at number four. I 2022 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:04,400 Speaker 1: think the last few you can put in different order. 2023 01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:08,720 Speaker 1: But Talton Schultz rebounding from a tough start through the 2024 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:11,440 Speaker 1: first three games, the second three games he was dynamic 2025 01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:15,720 Speaker 1: and it culminated in this touchdown catch against the New 2026 01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,360 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints over the south end zone. 2027 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,720 Speaker 3: It comes in number four. Shout to Schultz. 2028 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:26,680 Speaker 4: Inside the one second in goal toush push piercing the 2029 01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:31,479 Speaker 4: game backs in an eye.

The first play happened in the first 2042 01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:27,160 Speaker 1: quarter when the Texans needed it. 2043 01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:28,320 Speaker 2: Deep ball. 2044 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,960 Speaker 3: I mean, we talk about all offseason, man, tankdlle deep ball. 2045 01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:34,080 Speaker 1: This is gonna be awesome, right well, second drive of 2046 01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:37,080 Speaker 1: the game, after I missed Brandon mcmannus field goal, Texas 2047 01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,240 Speaker 1: had the ball in good field position and then CJ. 2048 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,760 Speaker 1: Stroud unleashed to Tank Dell down the field.

How about against 2069 01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:55,439 Speaker 17: the Steelers sixteen to six. 2070 01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:58,240 Speaker 1: The Steelers have kind of gotten their way back in 2071 01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,800 Speaker 1: the game a little bit, but it was time for 2072 01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:05,880 Speaker 1: Devin Motor Singletary to put them to sleep with. 2073 01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,160 Speaker 3: This half back pass. 2074 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:14,759 Speaker 1: Yes, half back pass, same exact location, Arian Foster to CJ. 2075 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 1: Fedorowitz running back to tight end in twenty fourteen, right 2076 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,400 Speaker 1: in front of me. Twenty twenty three, Devin Singletary to 2077 01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:23,559 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz comes in at number two. 2078 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:25,000 Speaker 3: Second to goal at the six. 2079 01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:28,320 Speaker 4: Stroud under center pitches the ball to Singletary throws to 2080 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:28,760 Speaker 4: the end. 2081 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:33,280 Speaker 17: Zone, Rassle Dassel cut for a touchdown Dalton Schultz. 2082 01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:35,040 Speaker 15: The tex said score. 2083 01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,800 Speaker 1: But that was such a fun play, really good throw 2084 01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:43,800 Speaker 1: from Motor to Dalton. Had to work himself open. He did, 2085 01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:46,840 Speaker 1: got around Patrick Peterson and got in the end zone. 2086 01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:48,880 Speaker 1: All Right, it's get the number one now. And there 2087 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:50,880 Speaker 1: might be a little debate. There was for me as 2088 01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:52,519 Speaker 1: I was putting this together. Should I put this at 2089 01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:57,599 Speaker 1: number one because it happened in a loss? But there 2090 01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:00,680 Speaker 1: was so much that I felt like I took out 2091 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,639 Speaker 1: of this particular play. Did telestrator on it? We talked 2092 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,200 Speaker 1: about this play for so long because when you talk 2093 01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 1: about a young quarterback, you talk about the great throws, 2094 01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:11,719 Speaker 1: but you also talk about clutch. 2095 01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:15,200 Speaker 3: How clutch is a particular quarterback. 2096 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 1: Well, against Atlanta, down in a fourth quarter in which 2097 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:21,880 Speaker 1: was actually a second half which the Texans offense just 2098 01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:25,120 Speaker 1: couldn't get out of its own way, if I'm being honest, 2099 01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:29,719 Speaker 1: they had an opportunity down by six, eighteen to twelve 2100 01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:33,320 Speaker 1: to do something magical. One fifty four, the first play 2101 01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:37,120 Speaker 1: on the other side of the two minute warning remaining, CJ. 2102 01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:40,840 Speaker 1: Stroud and Dalton Schultz linked up for a play that 2103 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,000 Speaker 1: probably got me as excited as anything, and that was 2104 01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,479 Speaker 1: one thing that I've thought about. Yes, the Texans would 2105 01:34:45,479 --> 01:34:47,080 Speaker 1: lose this game, as young way Kou would hit a 2106 01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:51,200 Speaker 1: field goal at the end against the NFC South leading 2107 01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. 2108 01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:52,479 Speaker 3: How about that. 2109 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,600 Speaker 1: But I just felt everything you're looking for in the 2110 01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:58,560 Speaker 1: top play of the first game, first six games this 2111 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:01,160 Speaker 1: season really came to fru right here, and that's why 2112 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:02,160 Speaker 1: I put it at number one. 2113 01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:02,800 Speaker 3: C J. 2114 01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,240 Speaker 1: Stroud at Dalton Schultz late in the game.
