32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: we also dive deep into where were we nine to eleven,

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, And that's where I'm gonna start

34
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: tonight's show before I get in hot reads, before I

35
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: get anything else. It's it's a day that, you know,

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: like December seventh, it's a day that sticks with us.

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: And obviously we all have holidays that we remember, you know,

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: December twenty fifth being Christmas, et cetera, and some of

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: the others. New Year's Day is always January first, nine

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: eleven has become one of those days that we remember,

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: we remember where we were when if you were old

42
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: enough to have experienced that. Unfortunately, and I lost a

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: friend of mine in the towers who I played with

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: at Brown. I want to say he was at I

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: want to say Morgan Stanley. I can't totally remember for sure,

46
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: but I know I lost one. I know there were

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: some other Brown University graduates. I know we were all

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: connected to two thousand and one, nine eleven, two thousand

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: and one in some way, shape or form. And I

50
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: think the one thing that strikes me so much about

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: looking back on that day was the help, the assistance,

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: the guidance that we got from first responders, from New

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: York Police Department, from fire department, people just wanting to

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: do to help, to see them carrying people out of

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: the rubble, to go to find people in the rubble

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: of two massive towers, the Twin Towers in the city

57
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: of New York, you know, and then our military engaging

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: in a war that was you know, it's a difficult one,

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: and it was the military went in said what can

60
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: we do? Special ops forces, I mean, all those different

61
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: groups that you know came together and said, okay, let's

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: go time. And my hat goes off to all of them,

63
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: to all of them, and a huge thank you because

64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: those folks let us do what we do. And I

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: say this a lot of times, we shouldn't just thank

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: them on nine to eleven when we have memories that

67
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: come back to us from that day. And I'll tell

68
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: you later in the show when Drew stops by, when

69
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: we have her into lab crew together, tell you about

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: that day from my perspective and my family. My brother

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: in law was actually flying to Boston that day, was

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: in the air heading towards Boston as planes were coming

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: from Boston to New York. So just an incredible situation.

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: But to those first responders, and Drew was actually at

75
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: a first responder event here at the stadium on this day.

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: He said, he just had a great time and our

77
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: capus tipped to all of you. So on this day. Obviously,

78
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: football during that time became it became healing for a

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of people. And the Texans head I started play

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: yet they obviously would start in two thousand and two,

81
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: but I know football and a lot of communities start this.

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: The United States was very very healing. And know the

83
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: World Series, obviously President Bush staring out the first pitch

84
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: at the World Series and when it was a great

85
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: World Series, I mean, that was healing for a lot

86
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: of people. So sports can do that and football can

87
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 1: do that, and so that's why, that's why we come together.

88
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: That's why Monday was such an incredible opportunity for the

89
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: Saints fans and Texans fans all to get together and

90
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: celebrate something that what we all love. And in two

91
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: thousand and one, football helped a lot of people, and

92
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: hopefully that's what this show can do, is help a

93
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: lot of people think about the Texans and think about

94
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: football and take your mind off whatever ails you. And

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: maybe we can entertain you, maybe we can inform you

96
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: on certain things. But that's what we try to do

97
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: on this show. So we're gonna do it. Let's do that,

98
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: all right, Let's jump into our hot reads they brought

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: to you by Geico fifteen minutes to continue fifteen percent

100
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: or more on car insurance. And when we're talking hot

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: reads on a Wednesday, that means we're gonna go to

102
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: the podium and hear a little bit from a few

103
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: of the guys which we call Texans Audio juke box. Okay,

104
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: first at the podium today, how about a little Dashawn Watson.

105
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Two years ago, we were talking about Sean Watson going

106
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: and playing his first game and start his first game

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: as a rookie. Gardner Mitchew is gonna do that. Sean

108
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: was asked today what he remembers about that first game

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: as a rookie doing things that is comfortable for myself.

110
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 1: That I was, you know, getting in a routine, getting

111
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: in a rhythm. I'm just trying to get my feet

112
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: wet and try to you know, manage the game and

113
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: not put me in certain situations that I want and

114
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: comfortable in, or or we didn't work on the so yeah,

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean the stats, you know, for himself, he did

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: a good job for them to try to at least

117
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: be in the game as much as they can and

118
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: to have that offense continue to go like they wanted to.

119
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Of course, the big item that came up on Tuesday

120
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: was the extension of Nick Martin, and obviously center and

121
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: quarterback are these two are linked. They're going to be

122
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: linked for a long time as center and quarterback and

123
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: de Sean was asked what he thought about the extension

124
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: for Nick Martin. Yeah, he deserves a congratulation to him

125
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: and definitely more Dennis for him to pay for the offense.

126
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes the game of football can be really, really easy.

127
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Now we try and complicate it a lot, but the

128
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Sean pretty much encapsulated why guys like DeAndre Hopkins have

129
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: success against great players. He boiled it down to this,

130
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: just win your matchup. That's pretty much it. You don't

131
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: we don't try to track anybody. We know exactly what

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: we're going into this week. Jel Man's gonna guard new

133
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: Hopkins a J boys and guard Will Fuller. And that's that.

134
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: You gotta win your matchup. So whatever route we call,

135
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: whatever play concept we call, go win your matchup, and

136
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: the best man wins. And they go back and forth.

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: They've been going back and forth since, you know, the

138
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: last three or four years, and it's always been a

139
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: good matchup. And they know that too. So it's the

140
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: same routine going in this week. All right, let's move

141
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: on the podium today to one J. Jay. What's Wednesday?

142
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: So it's a Watson Wednesday. I like the alliteration. JJ

143
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: stepped to the podium was asked about the gravity of

144
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: a day like today nine to eleven, and looking back,

145
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: here's what Jed you had to say. Yeah, I mean,

146
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: today's obviously a day for all of us to remember

147
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: what happened on that day and all the men and

148
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: women who lost their lives and everybody who responded and

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: stepped up to the plate that day. So it's always

150
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: a somber day. I mean it will be for the

151
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: rest of our lives. And I think everybody always remembers

152
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: where they were, how they heard the news and everything.

153
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: So it's today that nobody ever forget and we never

154
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: should forget it. Gardner Minshew obviously a talking point today

155
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: for both quarterback of the Texans and the guy who

156
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: would try and sack him, Jj Way. So jj was asked,

157
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: what do you think about Gardner Mitche watched him on

158
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: tape against the Chiefs. I thought he did a good job. Obviously,

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: it's a tough situation for him to have to come

160
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: into there, but I thought he handled it well. I

161
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: thought it, you know, the situation didn't look too big

162
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: for him, and he handled it well, and the coaches

163
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: did well to put him in positions to help him

164
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: help him out. So he did a good job. One

165
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: of the biggest keys in this game is going to

166
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: be how this defense handles Leonard Fournette. Texans have only

167
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: faced him one time. That was the opener in twenty seventeen.

168
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: He sat out the second one and seventeen with a hamstrink,

169
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: sat out eighteen the first one in the hamstrink, and

170
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: at twenty eighteen the last one. Who knows what he

171
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: sat out with, but he didn't play. So the Texans

172
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: have only seen him once, but they're gonna see a

173
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: new and improved London four. Nette Jji was asked about

174
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: stopping the big fella number twenty seven. He is a

175
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: tough runner. He can run downhill, he can run hard

176
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: between the tackles, but he also has a little shifting

177
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: into his game is he's got good vision. So anytime

178
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: a guy I'll run downhill like that and play tough

179
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: physical ball makes some good running back and I think

180
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: he's obviously done a good job of that well. Bill

181
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: Bryan's book. At the podium today, he talked about the

182
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: four captains that walked out at the beginning of the game,

183
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Dylan Cole, Jonathan Joseph and J J. Watt.

184
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: He mentioned that those are the four permanent captains for

185
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: this team. J J was asked about that particular honor.

186
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you always take pride in it. I mean

187
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: when it's voted on by your teammates, in your peers, obviously,

188
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: that means the most. Those are the guys in the

189
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: locker room. Those are the guys that are here every

190
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: single day and working with you side by side. So

191
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: it's a true honor. I think that's one of the

192
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: bigger honors there is in the game, when your own peers,

193
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: in the guys in the locker room that work with

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: you every single day, vote you that. So I take

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: extreme pride in that, and I'm very thankful and honored

196
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: that they would choose me for that, and I'm gonna

197
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: continue to do my best to lead them as best

198
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: I can. All Right, there you go, there's your Texans

Speaker 1: get to the injury report. Oh, everybody wants to know

201
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: about the injury report. I mean, why wouldn't you want

202
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: to know? I mean that's what that's what everybody wants

206
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson. That's one that everybody asked about, and coach

207
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: O'Brian kept telling everybody he's fine, he's okay. He said

208
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: it today, he's all right. He was a full participant

209
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: in practice today for your Texans. Now he was joining

210
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: an injury report. This is when the one I'm always

211
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: kind of curious to see. But he was joining the

212
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: injury report in the full participation category by Kiki QT.

213
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: That's great news to Sean Gibson deal with a little

214
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: bit of a risk. Titus Howard was also a full participant,

215
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: deal with that finger, Taiwan Jones, justin Reid. They were

216
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: all full participants at practice for your Tech for the

217
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: limited participation will fuller not injury related limited, DeAndre Hopkins

218
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: dealing with some ribs, Snap kellam at day with the wrist,

219
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: and then Greg mans and with that ankle still limited.

220
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: Those are your four limited. Now the Jacksonville side, you

221
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: had a couple of big names in the DMP section,

222
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: Clay's Camp whole foot Yannick and Gotckway Hamstring whoa but

223
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of good news for them is that

224
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson, they're starting left tackle, was at least a

225
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: limited participant in practice today. Still dealing with new don't

226
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna be active. Don't know what that

227
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: all means, but Cam Robinson with a knee. One to

228
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Marshall Darius only l But that's

229
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: another piece of good news. He did not play either.

230
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: One of those guys playing the opener. Jackson would love

231
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: to have those back. But Clay's Campbell, yannickn Gotckway. My

232
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: guess is game on the road. Those guys are gonna

233
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: see the field. A division game on the road they've

234
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: got to have after starting on one. They're gonna be

235
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: on the field. This is gonna be all chips, all in.

236
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: Go get a W on the road against your Houston Texans.

237
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: All right. Next hot read, talk about a couple of

238
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: transactions that took place. Eric Colvin released. You've heard all

239
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: about that from various people throughout the Houston media world.

240
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: But Eric Colvin released after a year and some change

241
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: here with Houston wish, Aaron luck In Walks, Philip Gaines,

242
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna wait a second, I recognize that names from

243
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Rice University had played a number of different places throughout

244
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: the league. I think he use with Cleveland last Steinet

245
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: three and a guy who can run, I mean he

246
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: can fly now hasn't been able to stick anywhere. But

247
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: sometimes it works. When you hear a different scheme, you're

248
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: asking to do something different, maybe it works. Who knows,

249
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: but Philip Gaines will step in. Cornell Armstrong who was

250
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: waived to make room for Philip Gaines, and for Alex

251
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: McGoo the quarterback who moved to the fifty three man roster,

252
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: brought back today on practice squad. And finally Nick Martin

253
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: signs the extension that's been much talked about. And by

254
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: the way, I know there's been a lot of people

255
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: questioning what they were doing with Nick Martin's like, oh boy,

256
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: oh man, that's a lot of money to give a center,

257
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: to give us this center, etc. I want you to

258
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: watch my telestrator when it comes out on that final

259
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: touchdown to Kenny Stills, and you watch Nick Martin save

260
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,240

Speaker 1: talk about college football, a lot of stuff with our

280
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: man andre Ware. Dre After you've had a little time

281
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: to recover from Monday night, your overall thoughts on what

282
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: you saw the Texans debut with nineteen. Obviously wanted to

283
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: see a win. But what do you think, my friend,

284
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: What's kind of like any first game of the season.

285
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: There's always some high some good things, some very good things,

286
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: and then you know there's also things that you need

287
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: to adapt to, to fix, to get on immediately, and

288
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: you take the good with the bad, and you move

289
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: on to week two and try to figure out a

290
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: way to put a win in the win caller, what

291
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: do you think of the offense now having the ability

292
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: to play at home, another week of communication in practice

293
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: and communicating at home without that deafening noise of the

294
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: Super Dome. Well, I think it's a collective group, which

295
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: I thought they needed to do during the preseason. And

296
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: you've got some additions with Layman Tounsel and certainly Kenny Stills,

297
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: But I thought the group needed to play together more

298
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: to eliminate some penalties, to eliminate false starts, to eliminate

299
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: just getting the play calls and so on and so forth,

300
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: where guys are breaking the huddle together. And you saw

301
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: some of the throughout the game, But as a whole,

302
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: I thought it was a heck of a performance, especially

303
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: on the part of the Shaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins

304
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: was his normal self. But when you look at it overall,

305
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: I think the guy that most impressed me more than

306
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: anyone who was a guy just been here a week,

307
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: and that's Carlos Hide. The way he ran the football

308
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: and just kind of his overall knowledge of the offense,

309
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: where to go, where to cut, things of that sort

310
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: of running with power and speed he was. If I

311
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: had a game ball of all the other stuff that

312
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: went on in that game, I think I would have

313
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: given it to Carlos High Gray. How can Watson protect

314
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: himself better? He has the dynamic touchdown run. However, it

315
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: was fourth at inches and you don't want to see

316
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: him hurt himself, but you don't want to take away

317
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: from the playmaking abilities. So what do you tell your

318
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: quarterback in these situations that's a touchdown run? Was just

319
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: an effort playing Just not even be able to really

320
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: coach that out of him, and I don't know that

321
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: I would really want to. It's within the scheme. He's

322
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: getting pressure as he turns his back to the defense,

323
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: and when he turns his back based on play action

324
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: or boots and things of that sort, they're coming from

325
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: the position in which he turns his back to so

326
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: you don't really see the pressure coming until it's too late.

327
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: So I think that's just something within the scheme that

328
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: needs to be cleaned up. Andre Ware joining us Drey,

329
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: what about Stills? What about the other new guy, Duke Johnson.

330
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: As they assimilated to this offense, and Laramy Tuttle as well,

331
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: all three made a case for themselves, and especially with

332
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: a limited amount of time that they've had to adjust

333
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: and get acclimated within the within the culture of the team,

334
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: the locker room, and then certainly the offensive system in itself,

335
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: and I think they'll be fine. There are a couple

336
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: of instances where I think all three would like to

337
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: get back, but I think overall it was a very

338
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: positive performance for just having been here one week. So

339
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: now the defense faces Gardner Minshew, who we really don't

340
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: know much about, but he had some decent numbers coming

341
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: in in relief of Nick Foles the other day through

342
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: the ball accurately, what are you thinking here as you

343
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: face a rookie backup quarterback. He's a guy that's very

344
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: familiar with a passing game, the playing for Mike Leach,

345
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: and I think he was the Pack twelve Offensive Player

346
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: of the Year coming out or after a senior year.

347
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Twenty two of twenty five is not shabby. Eighty eight percent.

348
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: So they he knows the offense got most of the

349
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: work throughout the preseason as well, and they've got capable

350
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: receivers and guys like Marquis Lee and Ddi Westbrook and

351
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: O'Shaughnessy the tighty, and they've got an enormous, you know,

352
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: a compliment of weapons along with Leonard Fournette. But this

353
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: is a game that I see him coming in and

354
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: trying to just rely more on the offense supplying and

355
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. They will turn this into a physical dog

356
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: fight and just kind of well, we'll play this or

357
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: we're willing to play this in the trenches. And I forget,

358
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: forget DJ Charker let him in receiving as a big

359
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: play receiver or four receptions in one hundred and forty

360
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: six yards on those four receptions for a touchdown. So

361
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: there's plenty of around Gardner Minshew where he doesn't have

362
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: to go out and win a game by himself. He's

363
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: got plenty of enough around him to be services. But

364
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: I and I don't look at Kansas City, I think

365
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: can really make anybody look bad because of how they

366
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: go about their business to get you out of the

367
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: out of your games, playing quickly because they scored so fast.

368
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: So I think it was just one of those games

369
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: where it's the first game, you lose your quarterback, how

370
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: do we get going again? And then there's some oh

371
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: in there when Folds goes down on both both sides

372
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: of the football. So I don't think it's a precursor

373
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: for what Jacksonville truly is after week one. Yes, actually

374
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, because you look

375
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: at the names, names you know well by now like

376
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: Calais Campbell and Jannik and goq Way, Marcel Darius, Josh

377
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: Allen rushing the passer. He's a new guy. But what

378
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: do you think of that Jaguar d which did so

379
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: well last year? You mentioned the Chiefs they're tough on anybody,

380
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: and hear you face a Jaguar team that, let's face it,

381
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, it was really tough sledding

382
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: against them. Ronnie Harrison, who's a third round pick on

383
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: the back end of that with all and she mentioned

384
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: in the front seven in the two corners on the outside.

385
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: They just had their hands full last week. They're gonna

386
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: have their hands full again this week. But it's a

387
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: group they can certainly get after you. They don't need

388
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: to blitz to do so, but they certainly can do that.

389
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: And they can play man and man, they can mix coverages,

390
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. So this will be as

391
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: tough a game as and equally as tough, I think

392
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: in a different way, but equally as tough as the

393
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: one that you just played on Monday night. She's gonna

394
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: come in a different form, so to speak. But they

395
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: they're equally, maybe even more talented as an overall defensive

396
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: unit than I think the Saints one. And that's that's

397
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: kind of scary in its own right. What do you

398
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: think of the Titans beating the Browns? Is that a

399
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: Browns issue with just buying into the hype too much

400
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: and coming out flat, or the Titans that good or

401
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: a combination of things. What do you think? Comination of

402
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: boat And I think a lot of people have almost

403
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: to a point, disrespected Marcus Mariota. There was some people

404
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: that loved him at points in his career, and then

405
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: now it's kind of he's just kind of a so

406
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: so guy because of all the injuries. But when he

407
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: is healthy, uh, you know, he could. He's certainly more

408
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: than capable of not only doing the job of being

409
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: a really really good solid cornerback in this league. And

410
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: so he played that way on Sunday. They've got a

411
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: guy that and Derrick Henry is that can just get

412
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: down here and showing speed on a couple of occasions

413
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: this week in a different way. It was a screen

414
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: pass that he took to the house for seventy five yards,

415
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: and we've seen him break long runs as well. But

416
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: he can also pound on a defense, and they're as

417
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: talented as what we've talked about in terms of New

418
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: Orleans and Jacksonville on the defensive side of it. So

419
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: it didn't surprise me what they did to Cleveland and

420
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland was everybody's, you know, everybody's pick, sexy pick to

421
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs this year. I wasn't one that

422
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: was buying in because at the end of the day,

423
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: there the Browns and they are what they are. We

424
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: thought the Colts would still be pretty good without Andrew

425
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: Luck because Jacobe Procet is pretty good and they've got

426
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: a good team. So here they go to Tennessee this weekend.

427
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: What do you think of the Cults and their chances

428
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. The Titans always have trouble with Inde no

429
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: matter what it seems things in the division playing one

430
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: another this weekend. I usually don't see that much, but

431
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: that'll be another tall Lormer going. I think they'll split.

432
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee wins this one at home, and then

433
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: when you get to Indianapolis. I think the coach who

434
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: would have a better shot at taken down the Titans

435
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: that the Titans are a good football team. Indy went

436
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: on the road and represented itself very well against a

437
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: solid Chargers team. It's a long flight, it's a long trip,

438
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: but they went out there and had a chance to

439
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: win that football game and got a close stayed close.

440
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: Jacobe Brisett A thought played very well in that game

441
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: and accounting for him so very well that he will

442
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: continue to get better with a lot of weapons or

443
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: more weapons around him where he didn't have to be

444
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: the offense so to speak, where he didn't have to

445
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: lead it the way Andrew Luck did. So I think

446
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: that's a team that will get better as a season progressive. Trey,

447
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: what do you got on the college circuit this week?

448
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: Going to Cincinnati and they play a solid Miami University

449
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: team from Ohio, it'll be a good football dreat. Thanks

450
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. We will see you later

451
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: in the week, looking forward to it. Drey's absolutely right.

452
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: Cincinnati has got some dudes that can play. That's said

453
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: Ohio State. My goodness, Ohio State ran rough shot over Cincinnati.

454
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: Now Cincinnati lost its quarterback. I want to say second

455
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: quarter of that game. But Cincinnati's got some ballers that

456
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: can play. Oh man, I'm telling you. Justin fields thrown

457
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: to Chris Lave and kJ Hill handed to JK. Dobbins,

458
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: Texas running back with a defense that features Chase Young,

459
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: who could be the number one picking his draft. Now

460
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: I'll be a quarterback because it'll be Miami. My goodness,

461
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State is loaded. I thought there might be a

462
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: little bit of drop off. And by the way, I

463
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: know that we're kind of in this mindset of the

464
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: last couple of years looking for linemen in a corners.

465
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: If you're still not mindset of looking for corners. Jeffrey

466
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: Okuda on one side and Damon Arnette on the other

467
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: to the better corners you're gonna see. I mean, just

468
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: phenomenal football players, Jeffrey Ocuta in particular number one for

469
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: a house state, total and complete baller. Oh man, And

470
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: don't I don't even say that much about a house

471
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: state because you know they got talent. But these guys,

472
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: holy smokes. All right, we get back, talk a little

473
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: bit more about this game that we played on Monday night.

474
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit more about the Jags. When his

475
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: gardner Minshew looking forward to what will he see on

476
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: Sunday against this Texans defense, dirty red Clint Sterner joins

477
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: me next right here in Texans All Access. Welcome back

478

00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: him at the University Arkansas or with the Dallas Cowboys

482
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: in therene League over in World League Europe. I remember

483
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: him because we just talk football all the time, and

484
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: I love him as Clint Sterner. Clint, what's going on? Brother?

485
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: How you doing? Man? Not much? I appreciate you introduced me.

486
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: Is that true journeyman? I always hear about Kurt Warners

487
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: an NFL journeyman. He made about fifty million doing it.

488
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: I was a true journeyman, my brother, different country, different league,

489
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: this squad. I did it the hard way, my man. Yeah.

490
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: But you know what Plant I say this to I

491
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: say this to my wife. But your life was so

492
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: much richer, my man. Your life was rich with experience,

493
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: all the different places that you were. I mean, I

494
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: I say it out of out of mad respect, man.

495
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: The fact that you can take your game and play

496
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: at the highest level like that's that's the utmost respect

497
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: from me. Man. I just think it was a life

498
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: full of rich experiences. Brother, John, John, I would not

499
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: have left the state of Texas. I went to Mobile,

500
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: Alabama one time, and here was jellyfish all over the

501
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: front lawn of the place that I was. The only

502
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: time I'd ever left Texas. And because of the game

503
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: of football, Man, I got to travel to several different

504
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: countries and and made made for me a good a

505
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: really good amount of money, and in a short period

506
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: of time. And there is no doubt about it. Man

507
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: didn't pay it the playball for eight or nine years

508
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: after I got through with college. I mean that that

509
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: was a that was a big time. I mean big

510
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: time experience for me, no doubt. Man, big time was

511
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: Monday night, Clint. And it's weird. I have this really,

512
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: it's a weird feeling, Clint, because after the game, I

513
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: was I was exhausted, I was drenched in sweat and anything.

514
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: It was that hot. But just I think the emotion

515
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: everything that went with that game on Monday night, and

516
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: then I kept flashing back to the great plays, especially

517
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: offensively this teammate. I kept thinking about what Whitney Merciless did.

518
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: I thought about it was Week one against a team

519
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: that should have gone to the super Bowl, and you

520
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: almost knocked them out in their building. So it was

521
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: a weird feeling Monday after the game, Clint, how did

522
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: you feel just overall kind of thirty thousand foot view

523
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: of what you saw Monday night from the Texans against

524
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: the Saints. I felt really good. I mean, other than

525
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: the fact that obviously the Texans lost. I mean, look,

526
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: when you're an old coach, John, I mean, anybody you've

527
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: ever you've ever been around, and including the greatest in

528
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, you go as safe and about going and

529
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: playing in a National championship game against Climpston the best

530
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: team in the country. You just want a chance to

531
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: win at the fourth quarter. Man, you want to lead

532
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and you want your team to

533
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: have a dang chance. And the Houston Texans, all things considered,

534
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: went on the road and arguably the most difficult place

535
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: to play football on the first week of the season,

536
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: with fans that have been starved for six months. So

537
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: they were louder than they've ever been. And again, it

538
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: was on Monday Night football. And you go in there

539
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: and you've got a dang lead versus a top five

540
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: team in this country with under forty seconds to play.

541
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: You can't ask for more than that, other than finishing

542
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: and getting the victory obviously. Man. So look as I

543
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: see it, I feel tenfold better about the Houston Texans

544
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: today than I did Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon before this

545
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: game took place. Man, the Texans should hold their heads high.

546
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: They should have gained an extreme amount of confidence from

547
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: this game. And unfortunately you're on and one. You got

548
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: to heal to climb. But man, there's a lot of

549
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: good to be taken from this law. I would imagine Clinton.

550
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: Some of that good starts with number four. Now He's

551
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: got some weapons to throw too, with Hopkins and Fuller

552
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: and Stills. And you know, this running game was was

553
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: really good, which will help. I mean, if you can

554
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: go for over one eighty against a team that was

555
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: second in the league against the run last year, as

556
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: the Saints were, I'd imagine you feel pretty good. But overall,

557
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: what you see from DeShawn that you like, what do

558
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: you see from him that you'd like to see cleaned up? Well,

559
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: I tell you what I loved is that I loved,

560
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: and I don't know it was as much Deshaun Watson

561
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: as I believe it was Bill O'Brien and Kim Kelly.

562
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: But the approach in the first half, timely shot, not

563
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: just taking shot to get promptings the ball, timely calculated.

564
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: Scott screams to your number one receiver and a third

565
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: down one of the best receiving back that there are

566
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: in the league. You use those guys effectively, and you

567
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: use them in an effortless manner instead of forcing the

568
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: ball to him in obvious situations. The creativity was nice.

569
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: There was a lot of good in the first quarter offensively.

570
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: Of all the things that I've talked about in the

571
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: off season, and I wanted to see the Uston Texans

572
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: do and essentially get better at I saw it in

573
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: the first half. The adjustments at halftime. We're a little suspect,

574
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: but man, that first half was really good. As far

575
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: as Deshaan Watson goes, you know, I think it's it's

576
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: the awareness of the situation. In that second half, the

577
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: interception into double coverage take, he took a couple of

578
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: sacks there and back. There are two or three rough

579
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: back to back drives, and I think as you evaluate that,

580
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: if you sit down and talk to de Sean, you

581
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: really want to talk about at that point in time,

582
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: it was all about swinging momentum. It was all about

583
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: not allowing them to continue to gain momentu and that

584
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: momentum to continue to climb when you're on the road

585
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: in that situation. So I'm being really picky after a

586
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: game where de Shan Watson played lights out and showed

587
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: showed tremendous development and maturity. I think the one lesson

588
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: that you that that you want your quarterback to learn

589
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: is sometimes the situation UH dictates that you can't be

590
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: risky at that point in time. I know, thrown into

591
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: double coverage with the guys that you have sometimes works out,

592
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: but you gotta be aware of the situation. So if

593
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be picky John, that's it. And that's what

594
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm drilling into the Shawn watching his head this week,

595
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: going into Jack and Bill, we're talking to our buddy

596
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: Clint starting. You can hear him every single day two

597
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: to six, every single weekday with Rick Hamler right there

598
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: on our flagship Sports Radio six. Clint, you you mentioned

599
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: to Sean and you know he did it both running

600
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: and passing, and obviously, I think under your decision making

601
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: when he does run the ball and he seat when

602
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: he sees the end zone, that's when I actually start

603
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: to worry a little bit because he I know he's

604
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: to give up everything to go get in the end zone.

605
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: But I asked Bill O'Brien this question at halftime, and

606
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have a lot of time to elaborate with him. Clinton,

607
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: But you having played the quarterback position, it sounds obvious,

608
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: But I want to know the why because they ran

609
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: the ball so well, because Carlos Hide is pounding it

610
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: for eight point three to carry and Dukes I think

611
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: over six yards to carry. What does that do for

612
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: your passing game as a quarterback, when you're seeing your

613
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: guys just chew up chunks of yards, what does that

614
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: do to the passing game? Especially if it forces the

615
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: Saints and it sometimes they did not all the time,

616
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: but they'd get out of that two shell because I

617
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: think they did get worried about the past or the

618
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: running game a little bit. But from your perspective as

619
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback, when you see your running game just taking

620
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: chunks of yards, how does that change the game for you?

621
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: How does it change it? And how did it change

622
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: it for Deshaun Watson? Well, I mean as whether you're

623
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: the Jaral Watson or mean or you watching it. At

624
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: that point in time, you are dictating what the defense

625
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: is doing. And there's a big difference as a quarterback

626
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: when you break the huddle and you go, well, man,

627
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: I may get one of three or four coverages and man,

628
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: I hope they don't lift this way, or man, if

629
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: they do, I've I've got to have answers to now

630
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: we're running the rock on these guys, and now I

631
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: know they're gonna bring an eight an eighth defender into

632
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: the box or one, let's say, in the in today's game,

633
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: it could be a six or seven defender. They're gonna

634
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: bring an additional defender into the box. And now I

635
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: know I've got one on one coverage outside, and so

636
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: i know where I'm going with the football. I know

637
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: exactly if the middle of field's closed, I know I'm

638
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: high lowing number twenty five right in the middle of

639
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: the field. And so now you know you're dictating to

640
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: them before you ever break the huddle or before you

641
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: ever call the play. You know one hundred percent that

642
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: they've got to respond to something that you're doing instead

643
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: of the opposite, as if a quarterback. A lot of

644
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: times the first the first two drives of the game,

645
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: break the huddle and you go, okay, well what are

646
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: these guys doing. Oh, it's covered two. Okay, I'm gonna

647
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: work my tidy end back down to my back. Or

648
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: you break the huddle and you go, oh, they got

649
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: eight in the box. Let me audible and let me

650
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: let me let me throw this way or run this way.

651
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: When you start running the rock John in the second quarter,

652
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, you're dictating to them. Man, y'all

653
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: better make a move, and when you do, I'm gonna

654
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: counter you, and we're gonna hit you where it hurts,

655
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: and so there's a big difference. There's a big advantage.

656
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: Let's say that there's a big advantage when you're dictating

657
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: what how the game's going and what coverage is they

658
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: have to play versus you. That's that's just a big

659
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: time advantage that this offense will have and they did

660
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: a good job of it for the most part. This

661
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: past weekend, on Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars come to town,

662
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: and that means Nick oh No, the Super Bowl MVP

663
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: will not be playing as he's out. He's on IR

664
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: so I believe he's out to a week eleven. So

665
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Texas will not face Nick Foles this year. That means

666
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: it's Gardner Minshew who will start in the NFL for

667
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: the first time. Now, my partner, Clint started in the

668
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: NFL for the first time. What do you remember about

669
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: that experience, Clint? How fast was the game going for

670
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: you when you got in? How about the week leading up?

671
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: What was it light getting that that first started the

672
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: first action the NFL? What are the things that Gardner

673
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: Minshew's gonna have to worry about in some sense that

674
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't have to worry about when he just

675
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: gets thrown into the fray. They're down, He's thrown it

676
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: all over the place. What is it leading up to

677
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: the week that could I don't know, maybe work in

678
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: the Texans favor, if you will. With Gardner Minshew's starting

679
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: as a rookie, well look at us as far as

680
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: the young guy going in, I mean that the playbook

681
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: has to be paired down significantly. So so the ammunition,

682
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: the arsenal that you have to attack an NFL defense

683
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: is quite quite frankly, just it's not enough. And so

684
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: the odds as stacked against you. This particularly, this is

685
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: a week for me that when Romeo crenails his disguising

686
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: coverag just moving safeties, moving the front, that's gonna be

687
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: big time when you're playing a young quarterback, because that

688
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: the young quarterbacks always second guests themselves because they they're

689
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: not Tony Romo. Tony Romo is the best in the

690
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: business as far as id and coverages and and knowing

691
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: thing before they happen. But your true breezes of the world,

692
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: all these veteran quarterback they've seen it all. So you're

693
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: not fooling them by moving, moving the front or moving

694
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: the safety or bell in corners. When you've got a

695
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback up there, it's spinning. Things are moving fast,

696
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: and when you're disguising coverages, you're giving yourself an advantage.

697
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: So I would look for a lot of movement to

698
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: confuse the young fellas and and force him into some

699
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: bad throws. But first and foremost, John, you know as

700
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: well as I do, this is all about Leonard Fournette.

701
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody thinks about Leonard Fournette of

702
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: what they think he's done in the NFL or hasn't done,

703
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: whether he's been a bust or not. They're gonna come

704
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: in there and they're gonna they got every reason in

705
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: the book to run the football and commit to the run,

706
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: probably to a fault. So this is gonna be a

707
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: challenge for Romeo Granail to get in there and show

708
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: that without Davian Clowney in this lineup, you can still

709
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: master the run and be dominant against the run. Versus Jacksonville,

710
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: this is a big week for them as much as

711
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: it is for the young quarter Yeah, I agree with you.

712
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: I think this defense after giving up five hundred plush

713
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: yards and that leads me to this, Clint, because yes,

714
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: this is a Texans show, and I love talking about

715
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: the Texans, but I love talking First of all, I

716
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: love talking to you about football, but I love talking

717
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: to you about quarterbacks because you know it so well.

718
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: When you watch Drew Brees. How much fun is that

719
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: as a former quarterback to watch a guy like Drew

720
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: Brees and just see him operate the way that he does.

721
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: Obviously we didn't want to see that the other night

722
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: against the Texans, but he's one of the greatest in

723
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: the game all time for that particular reason. How much

724
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: fun is it when you watch Drew Brees? But what

725
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: is it that really makes him special? Well, I think

726
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: it's the bond between him and Sean Payton. I mean,

727
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: you both those guys are individually without the other pieces

728
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: of five, both those guys are Hall of famers. When

729
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: you put them together and you get those two hall

730
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: of Fame minds working together, it's damn near unstoppable. John.

731
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it looked the guy's got to I mean,

732
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: what was he seventy two percent completion last year? Seventy

733
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: four percent was an NFL record last year. I mean

734
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: two years ago. I mean, he's got damn near seventy

735
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: percent completion percentage in his career. That doesn't happen by accident. Everybody.

736
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: I know. I heard a story the other day about

737
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: you watched him morem up. I've watched him morem up before.

738
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't just throw routes on air to an individual receiver.

739
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: He throws it and then with his fore body knows

740
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: the tones, he goes through his progression, so you know,

741
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: in his mind he's not throwing a single route, he's

742
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: working a progression through an entire an entire play call.

743
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 1: And so you're just talking about a guy that's next

744
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: level man. And that's why for me, I don't give

745
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: a damn if it was five hundred yards protectives. I

746
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: think that the plan that was implemented versus versus the

747
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: Saint was damn good. If you held them to three point,

748
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: you held them to thirty points, which is slightly below

749
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: the average from last year. Look at their schedule in

750
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Very few teams held this team held I mean,

751
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: held the New Orleans think to three or fewer points

752
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: and a half, and very few teams held him to

753
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: thirty or less points in a game that that plan.

754
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: Not only was it creative, and not only was it

755
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: without one of your one of the guys that you

756
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: had last year that was an all pro, but it

757
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: was damn good and gave your team a chance to

758
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: win on the road. That I'm not at all I'm

759
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: not at all pissed off or are mad about the

760
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: plan that that was laid out and executed on the

761
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football versus New Orleans. Wish it

762
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: would have worked out in that last drive, no doubt

763
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm not mad about Racks Racks plan.

764
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: I appreciate the creativity and I expect to see a

765
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: lot of change this week versus a different offense. But

766
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm not at all mad about the plan that was

767
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: laid out last week. Clintic got about thirty seconds. How

768
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: do you feel if you're a Chicago Bears fan having

769
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: watched Thursday night and Mitchell Trubisky struggling against the Packers

770
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: and then turning around and watching Patrick Mahomes on Sunday

771
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: and then watching Deshaun watch it on Monday night? How

772
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: do you feel if you're the Bears right now, knowing

773
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: that you trade it up to go get Trubisky and

774
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: you still have mahomes and watching on the board. Oh

775
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: my god. Well look, hey brother, this is one of

776
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: those deals where you truly tune out the noise, right,

777
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to hear anything that anybody outside your

778
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: building saying, because there it's pretty damn accurate. Right. But look,

779
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: let mean that's a crap you know. Now, I think

780
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: Deshan watched and seeing what he did and now at

781
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Lebert's Alabama, I don't think he was a craps You

782
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: don't think he was a for sure lock. Yeah, but

783
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: it's a cramp shooting the draft manse do these guys

784
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: work out or do they not? And the Houston Texas

785
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: just at this time, mate, gotten lucky that Deshan failed

786
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: and made the right decision for sure, Yeah, no doubt.

787
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: Clint Starter, you can hear him every weekday two to

797
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Schlumberge. Visit Houston Texans

798
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: dot com today to register to take the stats Challenge.

799
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: How about right off the bat, the numbers four? Numbers

800
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: four that obviously Deshaun watches number. This also pertains to

801
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: the seaun three passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown. On pace

802
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: guy would tell you that's forty eight passing and sixteen rushing.

803
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna get to that. I

804
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna get to that. But he

805
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: had over one hundred rating. He completed twenty if thirty

806
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: passes the other night. Obviously the last two the biggest

807
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: he let an offense set racked up over four hundred

808
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: yards against the defensive was pretty darn solid last year.

809
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: But those four touchdowns. Mark talks about it all the time.

810
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: Twenty nine is the number? Twenty nine passing touchdowns. Well,

811
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: you throw up three touchdowns in a game, and you

812
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: probably left some on the field at some point. My goodness,

813
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: what can this offense, be twenty nine should get obliterated.

814
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: If the Shawan is able to stay healthy for sixteen games.

815
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: A lot of has to do with the offensive line.

816
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: That's a lot of has to do the receiver staying healthy.

817
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: All that has to do with health. His health, of course,

818
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: coming back off a pretty tough fall when he went

819
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: down in the end zone, but he ended up being okay,

820
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: said he was okay, he's fine. It's on the injury report,

821
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: but he said he's gonna be ready to go. And

822
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: I don't doubt him. If there's one thing. First of all,

823
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever have ever done. But there

824
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: are times where I'm like, like the other night, I'm

825
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Dad, no way with this. This one's we

826
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: played well, we're all right, go home, fix it, get

827
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: ready for Jacksonville, right, and then he goes bang Watson

828
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: or Hopkins, bang Steals. We're ahead. Well, we're a head.

829
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: And I think that's why there was such emotion in

830
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: that game. But four touchdowns, four three passing, one rushing.

831
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: Schlumber's day stats challenge would tell you that's he's on

832
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: pace for sixty four touchdowns. Man, that would that would

833
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: be a record that would be incredible. I hope he

834
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: gets there and I'll be there to see it. Man,

835
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: absolutely love it all. Right, coming up to the top

836
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: of the next hour, we're gonna kick it off with

837
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: our men behind the Mike's segment. That means Mark Vannermers

838
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: sits sound with a voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Frank Franzie,

839
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: a good friend of both of ours. Next right here

840
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: in Texans All Access, let's kick off the second hour

841
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah, I know this is

842
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: Texans All Access, right, you gotta know what's going on

843
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: on the other side. Right Well, each and every Wednesday,

844
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: to kick off the second hour, we go men behind

845
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 1: the mics. It's a homework assignment that I have given

846
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: to Mark Vandermer year after year after year, and I

847
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: think secretly that he likes it. When he's done with

848
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: the interview, he's like, oh, you know, that helps him

849
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: learn a little bit about the team, and we get

850
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with some old friends. Not

851
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: just the word old, but I've known Frank for a

852
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: long time after having lived in Jacksonville, Mark's got to

853
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: know him over the years. Being the voice of the Jags.

854
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: And the voice of the Texans. It's time to go

855
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: behind the mics with the men behind the mics, Mark

856
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: vandermir with Frank Frangie, the voice the Jacksonville Jaguars. I

857
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: know you're a divisional opponent, and everything about my heart

858
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: went out to you in the franchise after seeing what

859
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: happened to Nick Foles, knowing so many people work with

860
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and all that had to be tough to see.

861
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: But some encouraging things out of the backup quarterback, and

862
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: we all want to see what Gardner Minsho's going to do.

863
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: But what was your reaction when you saw what happened

864
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: to falls and what transpired after that? Oh, Mark, it

865
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: was a gut Thanks for having me on, by the way,

866
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you. Oh man, it was a

867
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: gut Puck. It was you can imagine you're calling the

868
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: game and you watch the ball, right, so it was

869
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: a great throw, great catch back. DJ Chark. It looked like, Hey,

870
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: this is going to be a bit of a track meet.

871
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: Our guys are gonna be able to keep up. We're

872
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: headed for forty five forty two, right, and it's ten

873
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: to seven and you look down there and Nick has

874
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: been helped off the field, and I think at that

875
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: point You're market was an absolute gut punch. I've done

876
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: this a long time as you have. It was a

877
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: gut punch for everybody here. It was like, are you kidding? Yeah,

878
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: this guy signed a excuse me, a four year, eighty

879
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: eight million dollar contract. I don't know that there's been

880
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: a more anticipated player debut in the Jaguars twenty five

881
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: year history. As far as you're waiting to see the guy,

882
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the You know, you're excited about rookies.

883
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,959
Speaker 1: They drafted Portals and they drafted Blaine Gabbert, but they're rookie.

884
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: You don't expect him to take you to the promise

885
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: Malan of the first year, you're excited about what you

886
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: hope they might be down the road. Didn't pan out

887
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: for those two, But you know what I mean. When

888
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: you drafted to Shaun Watson in Houston, you couldn't wait

889
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: to see him when you were excited about what he

890
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: might be down the road. But even as a rookie,

891
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't think people thought he was going to the

892
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: Promised Land. Then well, you just pay this thirty year

893
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: old guy who's been a Super Bowl MVP, big dollars

894
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: to pare him on the opposite side of your really

895
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: good decent. And then we waited, it seemed like, waited

896
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: forever to see the guy. You know, Marky, you signed

897
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: in March, you get worried in February, he's probably signing,

898
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: and then when he finally plays, it doesn't doesn't last

899
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: very long. So the gut punch, and I think everybody

900
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: around here felt that. But hey, next, it's the next

901
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: man up league, it's the next man up sport, And

902
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: you're right, Gardner. Minshew came in and played pretty well.

903
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: All right, So Frank Franchie joining us, by the way,

904
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars, What about Minshew? What are

905
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: we getting here? It's funny because he played for Mike Leach,

906
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: who's going to be here Friday night with the Washington

907
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: State Cougars against the Houston Cougars. So I find that interesting,

908
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: and I see that some of Leech's personality might have

909
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: rubbed off on him as well. But what about the

910
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of guy he is and the kind of quarterback

911
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: he might be. Well, let's start with a guy. He's

912
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: a wonderful guy. He's yes, he's eccentric, he's funny. He

913
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: wears a goofy mustache and the funny clothes, and he's

914
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: got some of Mike Leach's eccentricities and there's no there's

915
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: no doubting that. And that's but that's made him fun.

916
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: But beyond that, behind that, I guess Mark is a

917
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,919
Speaker 1: really good, grounded kid. He is said all the right things.

918
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: The media has fallen in love with him, not because

919
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: of the eccentricity as much as he's a good guy.

920
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: He's available, he's already ingrained himself into sort of the

921
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: charitable community here. But he's a good dude. There's no

922
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: doubting that. He's also extremely smart, way ahead of a

923
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: curve in terms of understanding what the defense is doing.

924
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: You know, some guys are smart, and then they're smart fast,

925
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: meaning you can and Deshaun Watson certainly qualifies here, and

926
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: that is you can figure out what the defense is

927
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: doing and adjust very quickly. A lot of guys can

928
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: watch it on tape and after tape study with their

929
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: coaches figuring, oh yeah, yeah, but can you can you

930
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: adjust immediately and check out of this plane into that

931
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: play and check down from that route to this route

932
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: because you see it happening at NFL speed, which is

933
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: really fast. Well, he looks like he did have a

934
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: curve there. Mark. He looks like a guy for a

935
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: guy that just got to the league. He's twenty three

936
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: years old. He does that stuff pretty quickly. So you're

937
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: getting a guy I think that's smart, that will not

938
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: he's not afraid. The moment has not been too big

939
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: for him. That's all those things. He's good. Now. The

940
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: question is, and then why did he go in the

941
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: sixth round not the first round. Well, he doesn't have

942
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: great athletic skills. He doesn't have a big arm. He's

943
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: got an average arm. He's not super big, he's not

944
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: super athletic. He's not running away from people. He is

945
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: a six foot one, two hundred and twenty pounds, really smart,

946
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: accurate passer with a better than average arm. But it's

947
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: not a houses So that's what you're getting. A six

948
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: foot one, two hundred and twenty five pound guy who's

949
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: really smart, who is not The game is not going

950
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: to be too big for him. The moment's not going

951
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: to be too big for him. But he does have

952
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: a rifle arm. He doesn't have electrically electric feat. Um,

953
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that will go go through his

954
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: progressions and uh cann be kind of fun to watch.

955
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: The question is he's still a rookie. How long will

956
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: it take him to get even better and better at

957
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: better at the stuff he has to be good at,

958
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: which is the kind of the middle side of it.

959
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 1: Frank Frangchi, Voice of the Jaguars with Us Frank John

960
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: Harris has high by the way and wanted me to

961
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: ask what about the improvement of the receivers and how

962
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: that helps out Gardner Minshew tell John Alo, it's always

963
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: good to hear from my buddy John John HARRISY I

964
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: still called him a good jackivial Gallery. They're not telling

965
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: us that he's a jack guy who improved. Um, and

966
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: it'll be good to see John and all you guys

967
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: on on Sunday Park. The receiver that that's that's probably

968
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: the biggest improvement in the football. This football franchise has

969
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: never had a leade receivers ever since Jimmy Smith and

970
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: Keithan Marcardell walked off the field in the nineties early

971
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: two thousand, this team has never had a leade receivers.

972
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson had a good year as a young player.

973
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: Reggie Williams cant tent touchdowns one year, but they've never

974
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: had that. I think this core receivers, Westbrook is going

975
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: to be a star. I'm telling you he's gonna be

976
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: a star. DJ charts started to show up last week.

977
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: He's the second round draft picks, big and fast, and

978
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: I think Chris Conley was buried a little bit in

979
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: Kansas City. So yeah, I think if that's another one

980
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: of the things that was so disappointing about seeing them

981
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: loose fold is folds of those receivers. Finally, the Jags

982
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: would have a legitimate passing game, which they haven't had.

983
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: They've had that great defense, They've run the ball well

984
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: over the years, but they haven't had a legitimate passing

985
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: game really Mark Brunell in the early year. So yeah,

986
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: I think the receivers are very good. I do. Can

987
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 1: Gardner get him the ball on time will be the question,

988
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: but I think it's very good. All right. What about

989
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: the Leonard Fournette version we're getting this year in twenty

990
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: nineteen looks pretty good so far? Your thoughts? Yeah, I

991
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: think so. I think Leonard Leonard's a good player. He

992
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: had to grow up a little bit. I think he has.

993
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: He had to be in better shape. I know he has.

994
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: They're going to use him a lot now. I mean

995
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: he played eighty six percent of the plays. Mark They

996
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: they snapped his fifty eight times and he was in

997
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: for fifty of them. That's probably too many. Rockwell Armstead,

998
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,479
Speaker 1: this rookie out of Temple who's gonna be prettyo little

999
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: player for him, probably has to play a little bit more.

1000
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: Alfred Blue, who you know well, was probably going to

1001
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: get some of those snaps, but he got hurt in

1002
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: the preseason when an ir I think Alfred probably would

1003
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: have gotten ten twelve snaps that ultimately Fournette kept. So

1004
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: I think he's got to not get quite as many

1005
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: snaps as he did. But let good letters us problem.

1006
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: Leonard ran hard, he ran low, he caught the ball

1007
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: well out of the back to it. I think that

1008
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: part's gonna be okay. My only concern at running back

1009
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: is you can't run him into the ground. He's he's

1010
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: you can't. You gotta be careful. You got to mix

1011
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: up those carries a little bit. So I would expect

1012
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: to see more of Armstead the back up the rookie

1013
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: out of Temple a little bit. Frank Frangie voiced the

1014
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars with US on Texans Radio. Okay, the defense,

1015
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: we all know what they did last year among the

1016
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: highlights six nothing shut out of the Colts late when

1017
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: the Colts really had it going on. How are they different, better,

1018
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: worse this year? Frank, Yeah, it'll be interesting to see.

1019
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: Um they this guy Josh Allen is going to help them.

1020
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: He's he's gonna help them a bunch. He's a good

1021
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: pass rusher U combined within goquay and to lay us,

1022
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: I think they will really get after passing. That's the

1023
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 1: matchup that that that'll be interesting to watch this week because,

1024
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: as you know, the Texans take a lot of facts.

1025
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: Took a lot of facts Monday Night, took a lot

1026
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: of facts last year, and even with Tunsel there, the

1027
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: Jags really rushed the passer well. So I think that's

1028
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: an interesting matchup from this standpoint, Mark, so I think

1029
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: better there. Safeties are a concern. They're playing two new

1030
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: safety Ronnie Harrison, a third round draft pick a year

1031
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: or two ago out of Alabama. Jared Wilson, a guy

1032
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: that a little bit of a journeyman, a young journeyman

1033
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: that's been it's one of the free safety job. I

1034
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: think you can attack them in the middle of the field.

1035
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: So I think safety is a concern. They're awfully young

1036
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 1: at linebacker um ever since Telvin Smith left there. It's

1037
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: just a different core. I think it's potentially a good core,

1038
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: but youth at linebacker, youth at safety is the biggest concern.

1039
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: The cornerbacks are very good. A j. Boyer, as you know,

1040
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: is very good. Jalen, he might be the best corner

1041
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: in the league. The front four. Even without Darmius last

1042
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: week act he's played pretty well. So it'll be a

1043
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: similar defense in last year. They get after the ball,

1044
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: you know that, they're very good. They've got to be

1045
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: careful at safety. There there's a weak area. I think

1046
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: it's probably at the middle of the team. Frank, what

1047
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: about the AFC South Now the Colts lose Luck your

1048
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on how they might be without him? I know

1049
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: they lost to the Chargers, of course, and the Titans

1050
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: beating Cleveland. Is that a Brown's hype hangover or are

1051
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: the Titans that good? I think the division's good, Mark,

1052
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: I really do, Man. I think the Texans are legit.

1053
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: The Texans go to New Orleans against one of the

1054
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: best two or three teams in the league and probably

1055
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,439
Speaker 1: should have won the game. Obviously almost won the games

1056
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: that had to be gut renting for you guys. Hit

1057
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: the Colts. I like Prissette. I like prisettic College. I

1058
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: liked it. I thought when we went up there in

1059
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: practice with the Patriots a couple of years ago, he

1060
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: was the third teamer because they still like Garoppolo, but

1061
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: you could tell there was something there. I think the

1062
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: Cults are pretty good. They've done a nice job. I

1063
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: think of building that that roster reach the years. Look,

1064
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: I if weird how things change, isn't it. On Friday,

1065
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Jacks. I love the Jags in the division. Here.

1066
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: They've got folds, They've got this great defense. The Texans

1067
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 1: have some concerns on their line. This is before Tunsil.

1068
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: The Titans look like they're just okay. The Colts lost luck,

1069
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: and then we watch all the weekend transpire. The Jags lose, Folds,

1070
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: get Miles, Jack ejected. The Texans almost beat the Saints.

1071
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: The Colts play a wonderful game in Los Angeles, lost

1072
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: in overtime and the Titans roll the Browns. Now, I'm

1073
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: not sure where to think of the division. Here's what

1074
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 1: I do think. I think it's a really good division.

1075
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: I think I think all all four teams, if Gardner

1076
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: minshe could hold up his end, and that's hard to

1077
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: ask for a rookie, it really is. But if he

1078
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: holds up his end, and we do think Nick's going

1079
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: to come back at mid season, we think it's eight

1080
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: games that he's back. So if Gardner minshe could hold

1081
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: up his end for our team, I think it's gonna

1082
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: be one whale of a division. Mark, I really do.

1083
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: I love the division. I think it might be one

1084
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: of the better ones in football. Yeah, I agree with you.

1085
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: Frank Hey, thanks so much for joining us. We look

1086
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: forward to seeing you on Sunday, Mark anytime, man to you.

1087
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: Then look forward to seeing Frank here an Energy Stadium

1088
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 1: along with a number of the Jacksonville Jaguars employees, team

1089
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: members that we know. One team member we definitely know

1090
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: a j boy, know him for sure, amongst others. A

1091
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: lot of friendships in this Jacksonville Houston Robert at least

1092
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: I know for me, no doubt seeing Jacksonville is kind

1093
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: of weird because that's kind of as a young adult

1094
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: who I grew up with. But either way, I wear

1095
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: the Texans logo. I wear it proudly, and I will,

1096
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: in no way, shape or form, have any desire to

1097
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 1: see Jacksonville win on Sunday, none whatsoever. Now, this weekend

1098
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,080

00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: three games in three days. We're gonna have some fun

1119
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: with this. How about this? And then this is I mean,

1120
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: this is kind of came out of the blue, but

1121
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: all right, you got Washington State in Houston on Friday,

1122
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: and we've had that game on schedule for how long

1123
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean over yeths, Yeah, I mean for yeah a while,

1124
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Jacksonville Jaguar quarterback Nick Foles

1125
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: gets hurt and who backs him up, Gardner Minshew, who

1126
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: last played at Washington State. So Cougars are gonna be

1127
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: featured here in a big way Friday night, and then

1128
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: an ex Cougar gonna be featured on Sunday against the Texans. Texans,

1129
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: let's just just talk about that game. First of all,

1130
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: the Cougars and the Cougars. If you're a gambling man,

1131
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: just bet the Coogs and you'll win. Either way, you

1132
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: also lose too. But that said, you've got Washington State

1133
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: coming here in, Mike Leach, you got Dana Oorgerston at

1134
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: University Houston. Houston gets to win last week. Dana not

1135
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: completely pleased with it, but they went up to Oklahoma

1136
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 1: and they competed. Jalen Hurts just a little bit much

1137
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: for them. I would imagine that our scoreboard operators, our

1138
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: video board operators are gonna have to check the light

1139
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 1: bulbs and led bulbs and make sure they're they're fixed

1140
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: because there could be a lot of points scored in

1141
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: this one. There will be, there's no doubt. I mean,

1142
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: it's Friday night lights on the biggest day. You've got

1143
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: two old friends, a mentor and mentee. You've got two

1144
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: of the best coaches in the country coming together. Uh

1145
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: In you know, there's no there's no night like a

1146
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: Friday night in Texas. And and that's for sure. Uh

1147
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: this this weekend the Advocate Texas kickoff for twenty nineteen.

1148
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned at Coug versus coug Washington State's coming in.

1149
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: They've lost one game in two years, and they are

1150
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: on fire. They picked right up after Garner left and

1151
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: they are playing very much the same style of football

1152
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: offensively with a little bit of defense mixed in. Yeah. Um,

1153
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: to start the season coming in twenty you know the Cougs,

1154
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, uh for the hometown Cougs, you have h. Look,

1155
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: you know they they had they had a rough first

1156
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: game out of the year. Um. Anytime you get scheduled

1157
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: with an Oklahoma and Norman, you know, but that's a

1158
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: return from the twenty sixteen Advocate Texas kickoff right when

1159
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: you have h gave gave Oklahoma a sound beating, right Um.

1160
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,959
Speaker 1: And and look, you know they've got Derek King back.

1161
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: He's still coming back from that acl last year, but

1162
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: one of the most electric players in the country. And

1163
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: Dana is trying to really instill a new culture, a

1164
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: new attitude, and really get some of his guys up

1165
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: and run. And so you know, Week three, this is

1166
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a really great test for both teams. You've

1167
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: got the national broadcast window on ESPN. I know they're

1168
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: excited to have this type of matchup this early in

1169
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: the season, and fans here certainly should be too, and

1170
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: they are this is gonna be a fun night for

1171
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: everybody associated with the Cougars. Yeah, exactly, good way of

1172
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: putting that. Flet's just a might sound like a weird question,

1173
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: but having a Pack twelve team in here, I mean,

1174
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: I know that we're not only in the East Coast, like,

1175
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: I get that, but sometimes the West Coast kind of

1176
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: lives on its own. Now, some people say that about

1177
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: the SEC that they like to stay kind of in

1178
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: their own environment as well. But I'm always intrigued about

1179
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: cross country matchups traveling to go play, and that's why

1180
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: when this matchup was announced, I loved it because yet

1181
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: university US year obviously, but then you got to Pack

1182
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: twelve school coming in here. I know PAC twelve schools

1183
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,959
Speaker 1: come here to Houston to recruit, and I know Mike's

1184
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: got a connection, Mike Leaches got a connection to the

1185
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: state of Texas. But how unique is that? Because the

1186
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: bull game is SEC Big twelve and that fits perfectly

1187
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: for this region and we know how geographically like right,

1188
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: the fit is for that. But bring a Big Pac

1189
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: twelve team in here. That's intriguing because it's a not

1190
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: that it's a different brand of football. Because I think

1191
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: everybody's sort of playing some version of what Leech is doing.

1192
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: But do you see the value or how do you

1193
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: look at the fact that a Pac twelve team is

1194
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: coming to Houston to play in a game like this. No,

1195
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a huge opportunity for the school certainly. Um.

1196
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: You know, Leech has got a great brand here in Texas.

1197
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: He recruits it. Well, you've got a number of You've

1198
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: got a number of of reasons that they like Texas,

1199
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: and none more so than just their most recent bull

1200
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: trip down to state this past offseason. So I had

1201
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,919
Speaker 1: a great experience beating a really good Iowa State team.

1202
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 1: You know, from our perspective, our partners are ESPN. You know,

1203
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get a big time team like Washington State,

1204
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: UM is something that that candidly, you know, they don't

1205
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: get enough of they're usually playing that late window, right

1206
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: this is a primetime game, UM. And for for Houston,

1207
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: it's a huge opportunity to once again, you know, show

1208
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: ourselves off as the as one of the best markets

1209
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: for college football. UM. You know, the Pac twelve is

1210
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: a really important part of the college football universe. You know,

1211
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: they're they're obviously a Power five conference. They're a big

1212
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: part of the reason why Houston was voted to have

1213
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four College Football Playoff Championship coming here

1214
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: to n RG and we're gonna be a big part

1215
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: of that. But you know, it's not it's not something

1216
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: that we get to have every day. So we're gonna celebrate.

1217
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna have some fun with it. And certainly starting Thursday,

1218
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: when Washington State hits the ground, you know Mike Leach

1219
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: is gonna have is certainly gonna be welcome back. From

1220
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: the media perspective. Yes, they're gonna love getting some quotes

1221
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: and and and talking with him about you know, how

1222
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: he sees this matchup, and he's been talking about it

1223
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: a lot this week, as is Dana. You know, these

1224
01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: are two very similar offenses. They're two very close friends,

1225
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: and you know, it's an opportunity for them to kind

1226
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: of go head to head on a big stage like this.

1227
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: It'll be fun to see what kind of tricks they

1228
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: pull out of their bag. It's interesting you bring that

1229
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: up because the Athletic wrote an article I think it

1230
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: was just today they released it and it went back

1231
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: and it looked I think it's the two thousand and

1232
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: two or two thousand and three Texas Tech Squad, all

1233
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: across the board, the coaching staff and the players that

1234
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: turned into coaches. It's a phenomenal number. And on that

1235
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: staff where Dana with obviously Mike Leach who was the

1236
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: head coach, but Chelso Cliff Kingsbury, he was the quarterback

1237
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: who's now coached the airson A Cardinals, West Welker who

1238
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: was here for a while as a coach. He's now

1239
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: with San Francisco forty nine ers. Dave Randa was also

1240
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: with that Texas Tech squad. I'd read the article, but

1241
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: I just happened to see the picture and noticed a

1242
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: few of those guys and names. So it's interesting. The

1243
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: coaching tree now coaching tree did not produce Tom Herman.

1244
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: He came through the University of Texas and then at

1245
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: the back at the University of Texas. Tough one on

1246
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: Saturday against LSU. But Fletch, I say this, this might

1247
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: be the most fun Texas offense I have seen, maybe

1248
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: since Vince was there. Maybe you could argue maybe the

1249
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: cold McCoy years, but still I didn't enjoy watching the

1250
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: offense at Texas really I really didn't dive into it

1251
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: until last week. Last week against LSU, I'm like, boy,

1252
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: this is fun to watch with Eagles and Colin Johnson

1253
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: the way they were, Devin Duvernet, who was the Big

1254
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: twelve Offensive Player of the week, That Texas offense is

1255
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: fun to watch, and Sam has really improved as a passer.

1256
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: If they could get some of the running backs back, boy,

1257
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: they could be really good. I know they didn't win

1258
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the game last week, the long Uarns didn't, but I

1259
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: would imagine they got to feel pretty good about how

1260
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: that team competed. On Friday night, or excuse me, on Saturday,

1261
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a very salty Texas team in here

1262
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: against Rice. Yeah you are, there's no question. I mean,

1263
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: and you you said it. You know you can't be

1264
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: you can't can't take it as a victory because they

1265
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: ended up losing the game, But but they were. There's

1266
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things to build from if you're Tim

1267
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Herman and the Texas Longhorns. UM. Certainly the the CFP

1268
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: voters agreed. Texas only drop into two number twelve UM

1269
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: from ten after that loss. In what an amazing game

1270
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: and atmosphere it was, and so you know, we get

1271
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity to have the same thing here. Look, I

1272
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: don't know if you've been paying attention. Who am I kidding?

1273
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: I know you've been paying attention. Um, Mike Bloomberg and

1274
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: the Rice House has had a pretty good start to

1275
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: the season despite not having a win on the board

1276
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: yet either that Army victory you know or that Army

1277
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: that Army loss they had week one. Ye, that's a

1278
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: totally different team than they've had and it really is

1279
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: starting to see Mike's philosophy takes jape. So you've got

1280
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: two head coaches that are really you know, in the

1281
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: in the in the second year I guess the third

1282
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: year of their of their processes in Herman's case, but um,

1283
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: really kind of laying in the foundations. They're starting to

1284
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: see the results. Um, you know, old old rivalries from

1285
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: back in the Southwest Conference day those those years certainly

1286
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: or a while back. But you know, from an entertainment

1287
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: value perspective, Saturday night gonna be a lot of fun,

1288
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: just like Friday Night. UM. Definitely something that if you're

1289
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: a college football fan, if you're a fan of sport,

1290
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,240

1317
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: minute left. What's the biggest challenge overall to put on

1318
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: two games in two days before a noon kick on Sunday, Well,

1319
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: there's no question that this has been a total team effort.

1320
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: We as soon as the NFL schedule was announced back

1321
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: in April, we saw that we were gonna have three

1322
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: games three days, forty three hours and ten minutes if

1323
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: you're counting, but which is unprecedented, Yeah, as precedent for organization,

1324
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: but we're you know, that's what we live for, so

1325
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, certainly the communication has been key. We've had

1326
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: months of planning, almost six months of getting together on

1327
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: a very regular basis to talk through those challenges to

1328
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,840

1342
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: weeks straight every year. But this is our version of that,

1343
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: of that quick turnaround. It should be a lot of fun.

1344
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: Knowing that it's a big deal for Houston and a

1345
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: big deal for fans of the game of football. Well,

01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: We really appreciate that. And each other Wednesday play is

1367
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: snippet from that podcast, and we really wanted to focus

1368
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: on the Jags. Want to focus on the Jags, and

1369
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: what we did talk about with the Saints were our

1370
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: cream and the crop guys. And then finally we shared

1371
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: a few thoughts about where we were on nine to eleven,

1372
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: how we experienced it and what that day means to

1373
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: both of us. Take a list. Let's talk about the Jags.

1374
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: It's all about a rookie quarterback. John. I know. We

1375
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: can say a lot of other things. We can talk

1376
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: about wonder for Nett, we can talk about the defense,

1377
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: we can talk about protecting to Shaun Watson. Rattle the

1378
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: rookie and you walk away with this one in your

1379
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: back pocket Gardner Minshoe, though really not your typical rookie

1380
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: from what we've seen so far. It's very limited two

1381
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: and a half quarters maybe, And this is a guy

1382
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: who was twenty two to twenty five, who was very

1383
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: accurate with the ball. One going deep necessarily all the time.

1384
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: But still twenty two twenty five. I don't care where

1385
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 1: you're throwing it, it's still pretty impressive. You got a

1386
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: guy who played under Mike Leach. He's a heady guy.

1387
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: Mike Leach wants his quarterbacks to be accurate, he wants

1388
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 1: his quarterbacks to be the leaders. He wants his quarterbacks

1389
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: to do good things with the ball. And that's a

1390
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: guy who checked off all those boxes last year at

1391
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: Eastern Washington. He's got a niche of followers in the

1392
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: media that absolutely adore him put him on a pedestal

1393
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: because because of the mustache, and he's he's got a

1394
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: good personality. He's a fun guy. But this is a

1395
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: guy that Romeo and company I think can rattle, can

1396
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: get after, can do some things. And I really think

1397
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: that's just kind of the key to everything. John. I

1398
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: think what you said is perfect. I'm gonna change the

1399
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: word can to need. Yeah, they need to be able

1400
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,679
Speaker 1: to do that. I think I've thought about this a lot,

1401
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: just the psyche of a player. I think when you're

1402
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: a young player and you're not expected to start. The

1403
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Jags paid all that money Nick Foles, You're not gonna

1404
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: unseat him, so you're probably not gonna see the field,

1405
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: but you are one snap. Boys, you do have to

1406
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 1: be ready. Well, that one snap came, ironically, it came

1407
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: on a false touchdown to DJ Chark down the sideline,

1408
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: But that's when it came for Gardner Mitschew. When you

1409
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: get thrown into the fray like that, as both the

1410
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: player and a coach. As a player, you're just like, all,

1411
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 1: I gotta go, all right, I gotta go what I'm

1412
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna do. I gotta throw the open guy I'm just

1413
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna throw the open guy. As a coach, you're going, okay,

1414
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 1: just give this guy something that he knows. You kind

1415
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: of in your mind, you kind of pair it down, like, okay,

1416
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: what do you like, Let's go with that, let's repeat it,

1417
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: let's see it again. And now the defense is kind

1418
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: of going, we know this guy, but how much do

1419
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: we know this guy once there's more film on him?

1420
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,640
Speaker 1: Obviously everybody says that once you get more film on

1421
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: a guy, you have an idea. But I think getting

1422
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: some pressure on him showing him different looks, but for

1423
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: him having to prepare a whole week as the guy,

1424
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: that's a different mindset. Man, I was gonna say what

1425
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: you just said. There it's you can I wish you

1426
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 1: could see what I'm doing right now. But I got

1427
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:31,600
Speaker 1: one hand up high and one hand down low. So

1428
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: he came in, he didn't have to worry about prepping,

1429
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 1: just kind of came in and played some ball. So

1430
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: he was up there. And then on the other hand, yeah,

1431
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: that defense, it hadn't seen any of him, and that's

1432
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: down low. Well, those scales get a little bit more

1433
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: even how even we'll see, but those he comes down

1434
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: a little bit like I've said, because it's one thing

1435
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: to just get in loose, but man, you gotta think

1436
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: all week long about it. You're hearing from all different

1437
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 1: not just your teammates, You're hearing from family and friends

1438
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: about this, your agent, all that. I mean, it's a

1439
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: big opportunity for him. We'll see how response. You're exactly right,

1440
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's the kind of thing that could

1441
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: build up in time now. When Sean Watson was afforded

1442
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: that opportunity, he basically had three days to get ready money,

1443
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: two day wentz, they go play, So that that sort

1444
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: of helped him, I guess. But Deshan had been in

1445
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: huge situations throughout his career high school, college and then

1446
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: up to that point in the NFL. MIT. She's been

1447
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: a guy that and I think his story is pretty

1448
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: it's compelling. He was at East Carolina, did a good job,

1449
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: but he was gonna go to Alabama and be a backup.

1450
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: That's what he was gonna, gonna stay in the South

1451
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 1: and he's gonna go to Alabama and be a backup.

1452
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: And then Mike Leach called him last minute, like you

1453
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:36,600
Speaker 1: want to be a backup? Could play for me? He

1454
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 1: compete for the starting job. He wins a starting job,

1455
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: has a great year, all American, gets himself drafted. I mean,

1456
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: just incredible stuff. So from that perspective, he's a guy

1457
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: that I think you can rattle to a degree. Maybe

1458
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: you won't see him sweat, but maybe inside it's just like, okay,

1459
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,640
Speaker 1: maybe you're having an impact. So whether you can get

1460
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: to him, whether you can harass him, whether you can

1461
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: just show him different looks you're disguise has got to

1462
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: be on point. You gotta show him something that he

1463
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: has never seen before and see if that doesn't afford

1464
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: you the opportunity to get interception or turnover or boy

1465
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: he has somebody open and he misses him because he's

1466
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: looking somewhere else. I mean, that's what you have to

1467
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: try and do with a guy like this. Gotta do

1468
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: our cream of the crop. Okay, so this week's cream.

1469
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: Explain cream of the crop? I think people know what

1470
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: I want you to explain it for the people. Who's

1471
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: the best, what's the best? Who? Who is the cream

1472
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: of the crop? The best player that you saw on

1473
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 1: Monday night football. So I mean it's pretty it's gonna

1474
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 1: be pretty clear most weeks, you know. I think it's

1475
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: sky and there's we each have one, so I think

1476
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty clear, like we can each choose one.

1477
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: I'll choose one, you can choose the other. I'm gonna

1478
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: go with one, and I think it'll be automatic who

1479
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: you choose and vice versa if you were to start,

1480
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: you know, if you choose what, I know who I'm

1481
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna choose the on the other one. So I'll make

1482
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: things easy. I'll go first. DeAndre Hopkins, cream of the

1483
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: crop had a few drops, but you know what, he

1484
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,919
Speaker 1: had a couple of touchdowns and he had that monster

1485
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: mama mummm monster catch right before the Stills touchdown. Not

1486
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: to mention, he pulled in some other big first down

1487
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:11,560
Speaker 1: grabs that helped keep that crowd, which I'll go on

1488
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: record it's the loudest crowd I've ever been. It was

1489
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: part of and her I mean just chest rattling. I

1490
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: went home that night. I had a headache and one sick.

1491
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: I didn't It wasn't like I was dehydrated. I'd eaten

1492
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 1: you know and everything. I had a headache that night.

1493
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: I think it was from the crowd noise. But I'm

1494
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: gonna go with DeAndre Hopkins. He finished with eight catches,

1495
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: one hundred eleven yards, two touchdowns. DeAndre Hopkins is a Martian.

1496
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,560
Speaker 1: He's not an earthling. He's a Martian. He's not a

1497
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: normal human being. He played tremendously. You know what I

1498
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: think about the drops, I don't I mean, those are

1499
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: those are nearly impossible catches for the mortal human. Yeah,

1500
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: but for a Martian who normally catches those, it's kind

1501
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: of kind of jarring. But I think because of the

1502
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: game that hop plays, it takes the lot. Hedn't play

1503
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 1: much in the preseason, so it takes him a little while,

1504
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: I think to get kind of back to all right

1505
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: body control, like where's my body to be, where my

1506
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: hand's got to be, all that kind of stuff. Hops

1507
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: route against Lattimore for the first touchdown is brilliant. It's brilliant.

1508
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: It's actually not it's almost not even a route. He's standing,

1509
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Lattimore is face up on him, and hop literally walks

1510
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: at him, and then Lattimore kind of freezes for a

1511
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 1: split second, like, well, what's he doing? And then he

1512
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: goes right to the goal post that hasn't beat And

1513
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: I've seen him use that move before and I'm like,

1514
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 1: I'm brilliant. It's really really good. So that that happened,

1515
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: and I think, uh, Janner happens a good one. I mean,

1516
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: if I don't say Sean Watson, yeah, I mean I

1517
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 1: kicked off the pot. I put it on a tee

1518
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 1: for you. I thought you would take to make it

1519
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: tough for me because I was gonna say I choose him,

1520
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: a right, I choose him all the time. So it's

1521
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: almost as if when you say Hopkins, you say Watson.

1522
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 1: Watson's gotta be with Hopkins. So it's almost you can

1523
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: almost take both of them, which if you want to

1524
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: leave a third one for me and get more difficult

1525
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: for me, you can if you choose Yeah, let's just

1526
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, let's let's give this guy some more praise.

1527
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about being from a different planet. Oh my gosh,

1528
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: this guy. I mean, he fell on his toshi and

1529
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: hurt the a little bit above his butt on what

1530
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 1: he when he went in the end zone fits his

1531
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: tailbone is his tailbone, I don't know it was tailbone,

1532
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 1: but I don't know his backside. I kind of felt

1533
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: like it was like right above his his uh well,

1534
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: his what cheek is that they call it quick mini

1535
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: story time. Sorry eighty six eighty seven ish, I'm about

1536
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: to go to Fame City, you know out there on

1537
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: the west side became fun Plex. Yeah. I was standing

1538
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: on a chair trying to get a board game down

1539
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: before I left, because we were gonna play some board

1540
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: game with my friends. And I was still the wrong

1541
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: part of the chair and it like swung up on

1542
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: one end and like bruised my tailbone. Yeah, that hurt.

1543
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: And then we went and that really hurt. Like I

1544
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: was crying a little. I was like ten years old.

1545
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: It hurt enough to cry. And then we went to

1546
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: Fame City and we played bumper cars. That hurt. Don't go.

1547
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,560
Speaker 1: Don't do bumper cars when you have a bruise. Tailboats

1548
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: well playing quarterback with a bruise, Yeah, but hip thought

1549
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 1: whatever it was. I thought one of my favorite plays

1550
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: the whole night. It was a third down and he

1551
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: scrambled away from at alex ANZELONEI. He was running and

1552
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: he kind of had the ball back behind him, like, Yo,

1553
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 1: don't hit me. I'm going out of bounds, Like you

1554
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: can't catch me. But I'm going out of bounds. You

1555
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: can't catch me. It was really he was not taunting him,

1556
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: but it was just it's just so funny to watch him.

1557
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 1: But I mean, seriously, there's fifty seconds left in a game,

1558
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: no timeouts. And the interesting thing about that, I think

1559
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 1: is the fact that you they worked that situation all

1560
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: the time in training camp. Almost every single day it

1561
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: was that same situation for fifty seconds, no timeouts, and

1562
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: then they would change and score two points. You're down

1563
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: by two, now you're down by four, So it would

1564
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: determine whether they were going for a touchdown or not.

1565
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: So they've worked that situation. I don't think it ever

1566
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: came to where they went to plays and they went

1567
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: two plays, bang bang, and it was brilliant protection. It

1568
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: was everything that you wanted to have, and on two

1569
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: plays it just it happened a little earlier than anybody expected.

1570
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: But I've heard people say, please score too early. There's

1571
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: no such things. There's never never such things. Because he

1572
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: might not have had another chance exactly. I mean, you

1573
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,560
Speaker 1: got to take the chance when you can to get them.

1574
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: So I'll take DeShawn Watson my honorable mention would have

1575
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: been witty, merciless. He'd been a good one, heck of

1576
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: a game. But those two run pretty well. Sack pick

1577
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: I thought he did a pretty good job. So I

1578
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: Watson and Hopkins as are the two cream of the crops. Okay,

1579
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: today is September eleventh, and you and I are kind

1580
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: of longer in the tooth than many. Yeah we're a

1581
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 1: little older. Um, So I just wanted to thank all

1582
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: those first responders I got to do. I got to

1583
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: mc an event today here in the stadium. The Houston

1584
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: Texans were honoring uh probably about fifty police officers firefighters.

1585
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: It was really cool that it was. It was really

1586
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 1: a fun crowd. It was a good crowd to talk to,

1587
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: like just basically because they laughed at some of my

1588
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: stupid jokes. Of course, because most crowds don't. So I

1589
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: felt good in front of these guys. And there were

1590
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 1: some ambassadors with us as Indie Kalou, Mike Quinn, Cecil Shorts,

1591
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Fred Weary. Cool hearing from those dudes. So thanks to

1592
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: all of them. Where were you nine to eleven? Take

1593
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: us back? How old were you? What were you doing?

1594
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 1: What was the school was going on? I was twenty

1595
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: nine years old. I just moved to North Carolina. You're

1596
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: twenty nine and I'd gotten into the accounting world thinking

1597
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: that was going to be my occupation for the rest

1598
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: of my life. And I had been working at Ernst

1599
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: and Young for all of five days and I was

1600
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 1: on a sign, and so people in the accounting world,

1601
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:39,640
Speaker 1: the auditing world know what that means. I was not

1602
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: placed on a job yet because I was new to

1603
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I was new to Ernst and Young, Like

1604
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: nobody knew who I was. So I didn't get a

1605
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: signed on jobs. And it's just kind of an old

1606
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 1: buddy system basically. And so I was in the office

1607
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 1: and I was on a sign. So I literally was

1608
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: writing college football articles because I was I was bored.

1609
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: And I started hearing commotion about nine thirty ten o'clock.

1610
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm on the East coast, so it was about nine

1611
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: to fifteen, nine thirty when I started hearing that commotion,

1612
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, what's going on. I started hearing

1613
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: something about tower or something, but I didn't really know.

1614
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 1: I got to a TV and then I was like,

1615
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: oh my god. And I got home and my wife

1616
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: said her brother, my brother in law, Ben had flown

1617
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: to Boston from Charlotte and they flew over or he

1618
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: was in the process of flying to Boston. That's where

1619
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: the planes originated. He was flying over New York to

1620
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: get to Boston. And this was kind of before that

1621
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: FA kind of knew what to say to plane. So

1622
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 1: the pilot is telling them everything that's happened as they're

1623
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: flying over New York. And it was a beautiful day,

1624
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: so you could see everything going on. And they got

1625
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 1: to Boston. They immediately got a rental car, and because

1626
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: they had gotten there so early, they were able to

1627
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 1: get one. Airports you couldn't get him. Apparently, got a

1628
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: rental car, drove through New York to pick up one

1629
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: of their colleagues and they picked him up on the

1630
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: other side of the Brooklyn Bridge, I believe, and he

1631
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 1: was he was covered. He was just covered in ash

1632
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: and ship should just shaken up like you wouldn't believe.

1633
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: And obviously he was the one of the lucky ones

1634
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: to get out of there. But um, it's just unbelievable

1635
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: day into the number of stories that I've read today

1636
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: online about people that went back in the building to

1637
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: get their people out. I read about a security security

1638
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: guard at Morgan Stanley who went in and got all

1639
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: everybody out of the North tower, I think the NFL.

1640
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: Second he went out and got people out of there,

1641
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: and he got everybody out, and then he went back

1642
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: in to get more people, and then that's when that

1643
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: tower collapse. I just it. It was just I mean,

1644
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Not in a great way to talk about it,

1645
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, but I just remember that story. My brother

1646
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,560
Speaker 1: in law and I just kind of put everything in perspective,

1647
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,680
Speaker 1: and you know, football ended up being a kind of

1648
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 1: a good healing save, so to speak, for people to

1649
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: kind of take their minds off of what was going on.

1650
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: But uh, that was that was a tough. That was

1651
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: a tough time. And to be an adult with little kids, like, man,

1652
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: what kind of work that were growing up? Are these kids? Anna?

1653
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: Are my kid's gonna grow up in? You know what?

1654
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,600
Speaker 1: Ye Like? It was kind of a tough realization that

1655
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,679
Speaker 1: day of like, Wow, what's this is more that's gonna happen?

1656
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: Like where's gonna happen? And then obviously security changed about

1657
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: airports and all these other places. So m a very

1658
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: unique time and obviously nine of that was a really

1659
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: tough day. Eighteen years ago. Yeah about you. I was

1660
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: in Dallas, man, I had just graduated college. About a

1661
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: year before, and I was a producer at a place

1662
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: called t XCN Texas Cable News. It's kind of like

1663
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: a CNN for Texas. I was in their sports department

1664
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: and it was a Tuesday. It was really nice day.

1665
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't hot. Yeah, I think there had been like

1666
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: a cold front that rolled through, so it was like clear,

1667
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and I went and running with m one of my

1668
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: co workers. He was a news actor, Candy Brian Geese,

1669
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 1: and saw you can see him on MLB TV a lot.

1670
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: He's in Cincinnati now, but I drove over to his

1671
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 1: house pick him up. His wife had the TV on,

1672
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: and I guess one of the planes had just hit. Yeah.

1673
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: And a few years before, I had read a Tom

1674
01:21:57,479 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: Clancy novel. I can't remember which one it was, but

1675
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,640
Speaker 1: there's a novel that you know, these terrorists on the

1676
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: State of the Union night, they fly oneted the Capitol

1677
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: and they basically like wipe out the government except for

1678
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: Jack Ryan. So anyways, that's the first thing I thought.

1679
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, well, yeah, well at first I

1680
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: thought Matt's I didn't I wasn't really watching, so I

1681
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it's just probably like a cess nun right, right,

1682
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 1: and then he's he was getting something and he's coming out,

1683
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 1: and as we're like walking out the door, his wife says, oh, no,

1684
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: a second one hit. And I didn't know. I just

1685
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: thought it was like two random little planes. And I

1686
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,719
Speaker 1: was like, oh, well, that's that's a coordinated terrorist attack.

1687
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: So I spent the whole time driving a white Rock

1688
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: Lake about five minutes away, just talking about this novel

1689
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: because like, we didn't have the radio onon er right,

1690
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: get there, we run about five six miles come home.

1691
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:48,600
Speaker 1: We didn't we're talking because we didn't have the radio on.

1692
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 1: So we're just talking. The windows are down because you're

1693
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,600
Speaker 1: sweating everything. I drop them off. I get back on

1694
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: the freeway and I turned the radio on and it

1695
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: was the country station, and the reporter was saying, oh

1696
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: my god, one of the towers just fell. And I thought,

1697
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, this guy probably needs

1698
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: to be fired. There's no way that the World Trade

1699
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,680
Speaker 1: Center could have possibly fallen. I mean, this is very irresponsible.

1700
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like maybe a piece of window fell off.

1701
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: And I pull in my garage and my roommate like

1702
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: opens the door and this guy. So we're right out

1703
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:20,639
Speaker 1: of college and this guy didn't have like a regular job,

1704
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: and I don't know what he was doing. Off I

1705
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 1: was like, what is going on? And then I go

1706
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: upstairs and see it and I was like, oh, oh

1707
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: my gosh, Molly. Yeah, and then U you know, later

1708
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: that day we went into work. We didn't really talk

1709
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: about sports that meant much for a while, but certainly

1710
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: did not. Yeah, it was it was different. The world

1711
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: changed in so many ways. So yeah, Anyways, I saw

1712
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: some people on Twitter kind of recounting their versions of

1713
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: what they were doing, and you know, they weren't there either,

1714
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: but it's just kind of interesting to hear. It's where

1715
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: you were. It's it's our jaf cass assassination moment for

1716
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: our parents, for our grandparents. It's where were you when

1717
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: you heard about Pearl Harbor. So it's, uh, it's one

1718
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: of those days, one of those things to talk about. Yeah, absolutely,

1719
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: and you know, it's one of those days you wish

1720
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: never happened, obviously, but it's it's just such an indication

1721
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 1: of like what our world would you know, turn into,

1722
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: and you know, the the battles that we had to fight,

1723
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: but our first responders just I mean the photos that

1724
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: came from New York. I mean, just telling the story

1725
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: without words was just it was just incredible. It was

1726
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. So our hats go off to all of

1727
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: those that have served to help make this country safe,

1728
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 1: to make that area safe, and to ensure that nothing

1729
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: like that happens again on our soil. But along eighteen

1730
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 1: years since that day, and yet it feels like it

1731
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: was just yesterday, and to think that something like that

1732
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: did happen on our American soil. But hopefully we have

1733
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: become stronger as a nation. If we we will continue

1734
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: to grow stronger as a nation, hopefully, and these events

1735
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: will not happen in our future. But that was such

1736
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: a tragic day. As I said earlier in the show,

1737
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: I lost a friend of mine from Brown who worked

1738
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: for a financial company in the Twin Towers, and lost

1739
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: him that day. And I think about him often, not

1740
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: just on this day, but when we go to New

1741
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 1: York and I think about losing him to such unspeakable

1742
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 1: violence and evil. And hopefully that will not happen again,

1743
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 1: and we can keep our thoughts on football as we

1744
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: would like to be in and keep football obviously in perspective.

1745
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: People lost lives football obviously, as a game, but we

1746
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: know it has. As I said in our podcast, it

1747
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 1: does have some healing abilities for all things, whether it's

1748
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: something having to do with nine to eleven or tragic

1749
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 1: and family football illness. Football can can help heal. Letn't

1750
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: solve everything, but it can definitely help. And and that's

1751
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: why I love doing the show, to be part of

1752
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 1: whatever you have going on if I can help it

1753
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, just to have a laugh,

1754
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:04,560
Speaker 1: just to be informed like hey, I didn't know that,

1755
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: or hey I love listening to Clint Stern with John

1756
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: Harris Man. If that's what we do, thing great, that's

1757
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,760
