Speaker 1: and silent reporter. We'll take you right up to Giants,

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the return of Eli Manning as starting quarterback

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: for the New York Football Giants tonight. So I don't

14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: know if this is kind of Eli's opportunity to give

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: one last go around the block or whatever it is,

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: but we'll take you right up to that on Monday night.

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: Eagles I think favored by ten. Yeah, not too surprising.

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: One team was favored by about nine or ten yesterday

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: too and didn't fare so well here at Energy Stadium,

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: but hopefully, hopefully that's behind us, and we started looking

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: forward to the Tennessee Titans. Now today we're gonna talk

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: to our buddy Andre Ware. Later in the show, we're

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: also gonna have the GM although Star Sports Entertainment. He

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: is also the executive director of the Academy Sports Outdoors

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Texas Bowl, and that is David Fletcher to talk about

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: Texas Aggies v. Oklahoma State Cowboys. It used to be

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma A and m Aggies, I believe a long time ago,

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: So Aggies Viaggies in some sense, but it's a rematch

29
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: or a rekindling, that's a better way of saying it,

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: of a rivalry that was many years coming in the

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Big twelve South. The last played in twenty eleven, So

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: the cow was in the Aggies December twenty seven, forty

33
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: five on a Friday night here at NRG Stadium, looking

34
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: forward to it, get your tickets day. Dave Fletcher will

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: join us to talk about that the process of getting

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: these two teams, how Championship weekend kind of came into

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: view and allowed the Bowl game to sort of be

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: shown right in front of him based on what was

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: happening everything that he had been doing prior to the

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: bowl game and the lead up to it kind of

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: a better feeling A and M and Okloma State was

42
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna be that game. It had been rumored for a while.

43
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: Stuart Mandel rights for the Athletic on College Football his

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: bowl projections. I think the last three weeks had A

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: and M and Oklahoma State. So he hit that one

46
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: right on ahead. We'll talk to David Fletcher about that.

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: But let's kick off the show with some hot reads

48
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: and on Monday. That means our hot Reads, brought to

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: you by Geico fifteen minutes, contribute fifteen percent or more

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: on car insurance. We go around the league and look

51
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: at what happened in a wild, crazy weekend in the NFL.

52
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: It was not so wild and crazy here. I guess

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: it was wild and crazy. It just we didn't need

54
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: to be wanting crazy energy stadium. But high scoring yesterday one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

55
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: eight teams thirty or more points. It was a high

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: scoring weekend and it was started in New Orleans with

57
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: one of the games of the year, if not the

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: game of the year. San Francisco forty nine ers forty eight.

59
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: The New Orleans Saints forty six. What an absolute knockdown,

60
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: drag out battle that went all day. I mean, this

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: game was phenomenal. Jimmy Garoppolo twenty six to thirty five,

62
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, Drew Brees twenty nine to forty four three

63
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: forty nine, both threety nine interesting five touchdowns, nine touchdowns

64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: between them. Emmanuel Sanders through a touchdown wide receiver for

65
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Right he most start had that

66
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: reception for a touchdown from Emmanuel Sanders. He also had

67
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. This game was all over the place

68
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: and it wasn't complete until late in the game. George

69
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: Kittle with maybe the play of the year being face

70
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: masked by Marcus Williams. Essentially, street fight takes out. As

71
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Kittle has the ball, two more Saints jump in on it,

72
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: can't get him down, and eventually Kittle moves the ball

73
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: down in the field goal range. Robbie Gould then hits

74
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 1: a thirty yarder to win it forty eight to forty six.

75
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers get a huge win. They moved

76
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: to the number one seed the Seahawks, which will get

77
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: to here in just a second. The Seahawks ended up

78
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: losing falling to ten in three and so the Niners

79
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: have got a one game lead in the NFC West.

80
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: They will play at the end of the year, but

81
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: they've got a one game lead. The margin for air

82
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: now for Seattle is minute. But they've got to get

83
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: to that game with one game in between them. Worst

84
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: case to be able to get that win, it will

85
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: be up in Seattle. But as of today, the forty

86
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: nine ers with that forty eight to forty six win.

87
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: Holy cow, what a game it was. I mentioned the Seahawks.

88
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: They played on Sunday night in the Coliseum and don't

89
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: look now, but the Rams are back. Maybe they never left.

90
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but boy, they looked pretty darn good yesterday.

91
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: Jared Goff twenty two of thirty one for two ninety

92
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: three and two touchdowns. He did throw two interceptions, but

93
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: it didn't work out for the Seahawks. They're only able

94
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: to put twelve points up on the board. Four Jason

95
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Myers field goals. Oh check that, sorry, there was Oh

96
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: there's an interception return into k one kick. Miss Quandre

97
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: Diggs had a touchdown. He of Angleton, Texas and of

98
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 1: the Texas long Horns. Of course, he had that touchdown,

99
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: so the Seahawks did score offensive touchdown. Tough night for

100
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson did throw for two hundred and forty five yards,

101
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: sacked five times one interception, did not throw any touchdowns.

102
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 1: Tough day for the MVP candidate, Samson. Abracom had two sacks,

103
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: Dante Fires sack and a half, Aaron Donald had a

104
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: sack and a half. You know, by the way, the

105
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: Seahawks had none none. They had four hits on the

106
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: quarterback and that was it. Jared Goff able to get

107
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: it done. Rams win Rams moved to eight and five.

108
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna stand the heels of the Vikings. The Vikings

109
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: beat the lines yesterday twenty to seven. Nothing pretty. Dalvin

110
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Cook eighteen carries sixty two yards in a rushing touch.

111
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs had six catches for ninety two yards. Nothing

112
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: big for the Vikings. Kirk Cousins complete eighty percent of

113
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: his passes for two hundred four two yards in a touch.

114
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: But the defense gets hit done. The Lions struggle. The

115
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: Neil Hunter the dude of the day. Three sacks, three TFLs,

116
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: three quarterback hits. He was absolutely fantastic. They sacked David

117
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Blow five times and it didn't go well. Sack five times,

118
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Blow sort of comes back to earth After

119
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: a great Thanksgiving game, the Vikings win and they stay

120
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: one game behind the Green May Packers. As the Packers

121
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: took on the Redskins. Now you talk about not pretty wins.

122
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not the greatest day. Sacked four times only

123
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: through four hundred ninety five yards would save the Packers

124
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: on this day. A A defense that had four sacks

125
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: and a pick of Dwayne Haskins b Aaron Jones on

126
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: the ground sixteen carries, one hundred and thirty four yards

127
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: and a touch. They had a great day. Kenny Clark

128
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: was a dude. He had a sack and a half,

129
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: as did Adrian Amos had a sack. Kyler Fackrel had

130
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: half a sack. The interception agent names what a day

131
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: he piled up on a stat sheet. Seven tackles, a sack,

132
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: at tackle for a lost quarterback, hit, interception, two passes. Defense.

133
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: The free agent site from the Chicago Bears has made

134
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: a huge difference for the Green Bay Packers that beat

135
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Redskins fall to three and ten in the

136
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: NFC East Now let's jump over to the AFC South

137
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: because well, this game in Tampa Bay. Wow, the Bucks

138
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: get another win thirty eight to thirty five. The Colts

139
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: scored twenty seven points in the first half of twenty

140
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: seven twenty one, and then the defense for the Bucks

141
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: sort of got locked in a little bit. Jameis Winston

142
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: had a Jamis Winston day. Tell me that this isn't

143
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: a Jamis Winston day. Thirty three to forty five. It's

144
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: about right, four hundred and fifty six yards about right.

145
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,239
Speaker 1: Sacked once. That's a little and I would expect four touchdowns,

146
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: could see it. Three interceptions. That's Jamis Winston's game in

147
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: a nutshell. But they got done thirty eight thirty five. Now,

148
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: Winston ended up hurting his thumb. I think his thumber

149
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: his hand. Something to keep an eye on. Mike Evans

150
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: also hurt his hamstring. That didn't look great. Evans only

151
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: had one catch. He had for sixty one yards in

152
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: a touch but he ended up with that hamstring and

153
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: that could be a problem. But Justin Watson came in

154
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: out of Pennsylvania University. Yeah, fellow IVY League or five

155
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: catches fifty nine yards to go with Chris godwins seven

156
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: for ninety one and the Bucks light up the Colts

157
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: secondary thirty eight thirty five. The Bucks will be an

158
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: opponent in a couple of weeks, and they're getting dumb

159
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: with those two key injuries. Could be something to watch

160
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Oakland, the one AFC

161
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: South team we needed to lose, one didn't care about

162
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the live was good to see the coltswin.

163
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: The Colts loser, but the Tennessee Titans had a three

164
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: hundred almost four hundred yard passer, one hundred yard rusher,

165
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: and one hundred and fifty yard receiver Derreck Henry eighteen

166
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: for one h three and two touchdowns. Ryan Tannehill twenty

167
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: one to twenty seven for three ninety one, three touchdowns

168
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: and one pick, a one forty point four rating my goodness,

169
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: and A. J. Brown the rookie four for one fifty

170
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: three in a ninety one yard touchdown and he had

171
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: another touchdown on top of that forty two to twenty one.

172
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: The Titans shut out the Raiders in the second half.

173
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: It was not a good scene in Oakland. Derek Carr

174
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: struggling in that second half now overall the numbers, okay,

175
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty four, two touchdowns, no picks, but just

176
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done down in the red zone and

177
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: then one turnover going the other way and the Titans

178
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: were able to put this away. As I believe it

179
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: was jay On Brown picked up a fumble ran it

180
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: back forty six yards that gave the Titans a three

181
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: touchdown lead. They would hold on and they are eight

182
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: and five, as are the Texans, and that game is

183
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: upcoming in Nashville this weekend. Eight five versus eight and

184
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: five's timed to take on a big boys and see

185
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: what happened. Speaking of big boys, the Chargers, well they

186
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: used to be a big boy. They are out of

187
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: the playoff hunt, so are the Jaguars, and the Jaguars

188
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: have more issues going on. But the Chargers went to

189
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Duval County yesterday. They didn't just get rid of Minshu Mania,

190
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: they absolutely obliterated it. Hey, his numbers aren't all that bad,

191
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: twenty four to thirty seven from one sixty two and

192
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: a touch no interceptions, but yeah, it was not a

193
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: great day. Why the Chargers went nuts. Austin Eckler had

194
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing, he had one hundred and twelve

195
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: yards receiving. Philip rivers through for three hundred and fourteen

196
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns, no picks, almost a perfect rating,

197
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: one fifty four point four. The Chargers put it on

198
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: the Jags forty five to ten. Yeah, forty five to ten.

199
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: They went on a forty five to seven run after

200
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: Josh Lambo kicked a field goal after a long first

201
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: drive of the game. After that, all they got was

202
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: a Minshoot to nickel Leary touchdown. That was it forty

203
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: five to ten to Jags fall to four and nine.

204
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: And I saw this tweet actually courtesy of our friend

205
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: Drew Dowerter you send this to me. Jannick and Gockway

206
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: came over to the sideline and started screaming at the

207
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Todd Wash. That's not the first time that's happened,

208
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: I can promise you, and probably one of the reasons

209
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: that Jan gets sacks, has not a gotten a ton

210
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: of sacks this year, and b has not gotten a

211
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: contract extension. Loose cannons don't typically get contract extensions, and

212
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: he's been kind of a loose cannon. Things in Jacksonville

213
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: have gone off the rails. Doug Marone, David called on

214
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin, no man speaking of off the rails. The

215
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: officiating in the Chiefs Patriots game went way, way off

216
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: the rails. A fumble that was blown dead that the

217
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Patriots would have returned for a touchdown. Now, as Jack's

218
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: fans pointed out today on social media, a Patriots that

219
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: happened US and Nancy Championship game, So deal with it. Yeah,

220
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: So there's that. Then nikkil Harry called out of bounds

221
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: on a catch and run for a touchdown. It was

222
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: a bad day again for the Patriots. Those are just

223
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: two of the calls that went against him. Tom Brady

224
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: nineteen to thirty six, sack three times, did run for

225
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: a first down, so he had that big run. James

226
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: White completed the I think oh second longest passed. Brady

227
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: did have a thirty seven yard and Julian Edelman and

228
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: Edelman had a touchdown at James White completely one for

229
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: thirty five yards. It's got the offense going, but the

230
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: Patriots struggled to run the ball again, only ninety four

231
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. They were unable to put the

232
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: ball in the end zone when they needed to, and

233
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: pat Mahomes in the offense did enough. Travis Kelsey ran

234
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: one in from the Wildcat Mahomes through for two night

235
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: y eighty three yards a touchdown, did have a pick.

236
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey finished with seven verse sixty six you had.

237
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: Miko Hardman had a forty eight yard touchdown catches only

238
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: catch of the day, and the Chiefs left New England

239
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: with a win. So, if you're like me and you're

240
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: keeping track of the four teams the top to division Chiefs, Ravens, Patriots, Texans,

241
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: they all won divisions last year, so they all had

242
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: to meet this year kind of a round robins. So

243
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: they all played three games. The Texans finished tune one,

244
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: beating the Patriots and the Chiefs, losing the Ravens. The

245
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: Ravens finished two and one, beating the Patriots and the Texans,

246
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: losing the Chiefs. The Chiefs finished two and one, beating

247
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Ravens but losing to the Texans.

248
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: The Patriots finished oz in three amongst that group, losing

249
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: to the Ravens and the Texans on the road, losing

250
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs at home. So what does that mean?

251
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: It made me nothing because the Patriots were blessed with

252
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: playing the NFC East and the AFC East this year,

253
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: and they ended up playing and they're gonna play nine

254
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: games against those two divisions. Is that right? Six four, ten,

255
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: ten games were played against the AFC East. Now that

256
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: does mean two against Buffalo. They only played one against

257
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo and they only won sixteen ten and Brady had

258
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: a horrible day that day in Buffalo. But the Patriots

259
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: Bills rematch is going to be this week, but next week.

260
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: That one is one to keep an eye on. The

261
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: Bills are still alive somehow. But that's really what's kept

262
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots where they are. They're ten and three, they're tenant, oh,

263
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: basically against Scrubs and the Bills, and they're owing three

264
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: against the three teams that lead divisions, the Ravens, the Chiefs,

265
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: and the Texans. So there you go around the league

266
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: scores in highlights in those things with me, Howard Coach,

267
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, John Harris, that's just kind of habit. Howard

268
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: coas sub did such a great job. All right, we

269
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,280

Speaker 1: coming to n RG for the Academy Sports and Outdoors

286
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: Texas Bowl. You mentioned it December twenty seventh, Friday Night Lights.

287
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: How about that the twenty fifth rank Oklahoma State Cowboys

288
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: against the Fight in Texas Aggies. Hey, we knew all

289
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: long we were gonna have a Orange versus Maroon. We

290
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: knew it all long. That is true. Now, that's true.

291
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: You and I have talked about Orange versus Moon for

292
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: a long time. Uh, it was interesting. I was reading

293
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: I think it was CBS the thing. It was CBS Sports.

294
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: They did kind of a bowl breakdown. They ranked the

295
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: bowls from thirty nine down to one, and they I

296
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: can't remember where they put the Texas Bowl, but they

297
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: made a comment about something like that, you know that,

298
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: you know there's there's a battle of Big twelve and

299
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: A and M in this game. It's probably not the

300
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: team you're thinking about been from the Big twelve. But

301
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: then they wanted to say the same thing that I

302
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: would say, This is what hack of a matchup. That's fantastic.

303
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got all the elements that you want

304
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: when you're in the business that we are of college

305
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: football events. You've got the regional rivalry coming together for

306
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: the first time in almost a decade. Yep. You've got

307
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: two fan bases that are are very much here in

308
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: the Houston market and and and the surrounding you know states,

309
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: and they're going to travel in to come in and experience, um,

310
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: the final college football event of the year here at

311
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: NRG You've got two teams with great coaches that have

312
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: a good a little bit of history with each other,

313
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: and they understand the importance of being in this market

314
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: for a week in the lead up and and and

315
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: on game day out here, and you've got a really

316
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: a dynamite matchup of offenses, you know. I mean, you've

317
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: got the leading rusher in the nation into a Hubbard, yes,

318
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, and maybe he's up in New York

319
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: for that Heisman next week, we'll see. And Kelly Mont,

320
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, has been up and down, but when he's up,

321
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: he's up. He's as good as it gets in the

322
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: SEC as far as quarterbacks. So I mean, we're we're

323
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: we're just sitting back, you know, we're just sitting back

324
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: with our feet up, doing a whole enough Johnny, that's

325
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: what we do right here. But no, in all honesty,

326
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be I mean, we couldn't ask for

327
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: a better matchup in the city of Houston. Is going

328
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: to be a big winner. And all this just to

329
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: have these two great institutions here, these two great fan bases,

330
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: and we're gonna put a heck of a show on

331
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: for him. Every college football weekend is sort of a

332
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: domino effect, and the championship weekend feels like it's the

333
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: largest domino. As you're watching things starting as early as

334
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Friday night with Oregon with the upset of Utah. As

335
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: you're watching this unfold, when you see Oregon beat Utah,

336
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: just start with that. When you see Oregon beat Utah,

337
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: in your mind, what are you thinking about for the ball?

338
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: Are you thinking, Okay, this is where I think it's

339
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna go. When did you have a pretty good idea

340
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: that you were gonna get A and M in Oklahoma state?

341
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Was it literally the selection or did you kind of

342
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: have an idea like when Oregon beat Utah or was

343
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: it something what happened with Baylor and Oklahoma? When did

344
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: you have a good feeling Okay, I think this is

345
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: what we're gonna get. Yeah, you know, I mean it

346
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: goes back to the beginning of the season. It goes

347
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: back even further than that. I mean we having this

348
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: big twelve sec matchup. Yeah, consistently here and in the

349
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: state of Texas, the number one matchup, the place the

350
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl used to be in for all those years,

351
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: and they did such a great job in building up

352
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: the reputation of it. I mean, it is two incredible conferences.

353
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: You're going to get great matchups. I mean, you looked

354
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: at last year at this time. You know a lot

355
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: of people were looking at that Baylor Vanderbilt matchup in

356
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: sant An I don't know, and all it did was

357
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: become the most exciting match all of college It was

358
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: so fun football last year. The forty five thirty eight

359
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: back and forth, great, great show. And that's what you

360
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: get from Big twelve SEC matchups. So, you know, as

361
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: we look towards the end of the season, you could

362
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: certainly see how things were separating in the Big twelve side.

363
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Baylor were the cream of the conference. They

364
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: put on a heck of a show on on Saturday

365
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: morning for everybody, and the Sooners come out on top.

366
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: But those Baylor Bears got a lot to be proud of.

367
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Very exciting to see them in the All State Sugar Bowl.

368
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: And if you want to want to see that magic continue,

369
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: don't forget. They start the year here in Houston. I

370
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: was gonna get there. I was gonna get there with

371
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: you talk about that in a minute. One school in

372
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: the SEC made a decision. Yeah, and so and so

373
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: they rose to the top. You look at the rest

374
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: of the conference, all very evenly match all great institutions.

375
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, we had a good sense that Oklahoma State

376
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: would be one of those options, but really had to

377
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: see how things played out in front of us in

378
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: San Antonio and Orlando with their games before we really

379
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: knew they were here. And what a coup it is

380
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: for us to have the Cowboys here the first time

381
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: they've ever played in the Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas Bowl,

382
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: a top twenty five team, which is something that's we've

383
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: enjoyed to have a handful of times over the history

384
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: of this game, and they're going to fit right in

385
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: and be a great, great addition to the history of

386
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: what we've done here in Houston. On the SEC side, again,

387
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: we don't control it ultimately. Our our participant is selected

388
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: by the conference. But as you saw things play out

389
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: over Thanksgiving, Mississippi State getting in to the postseason, and

390
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: then just the way the championship weekend went, you know,

391
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: we had a we had a pretty good sense of

392
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: of who our teams could possibly be, knowing as you know,

393
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: geography and rivalries and um and past performances all our

394
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: factors in that the conferences UH has when they when

395
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: they look to make their selection. Um couldn't be more

396
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: excited about about the way it worked out with with

397
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: Texas A and M coming back to Houston for their

398
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: third appearance in the Bowl Game. But um, you know,

399
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: I think I think all all sold Um, we've got

400
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: about as exciting a matchup as we've as we've had

401
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: in years here at this game. Yeah, this is gonna

402
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: be fun. But just the geography, the former Big twelve

403
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: South year in year out, foes now facing each other.

404
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned Chuba Hubbard, Kellen maud Uh Justin Mattabeque for

405
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: Texas A and M is one heck of a player.

406
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: He as a defensive lineman. He is one of the

407
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: better players in the country that probably nobody talks about.

408
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: And there's a decision that he's gonna have to make

409
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: whether he's gonna come back for a senior year. But

410
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: hopefully he's gonna he's gonna play in his ball game

411
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be a special opportunity to go against

412
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. Hate that Oklahoma State's quarterback had gotten banged up.

413
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: The young guy early on this year had played very

414
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: very well. Also Tylan Wallace, uh losing him at wide receiver.

415
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: But Cho Hubbard, well, he's a big time player and

416
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: he's Canadian, so he's gonna love being here in Texas

417
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: for a ballgame. Yes he is. But you heard Mike

418
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: gun They talk about it yesterday with the media that

419
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, they're hopeful on the quarterback. They don't know

420
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: the situation, but he's but he is. He has been

421
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: moving well in his in his UH, in his rehab

422
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: and his in his return. You know, is a possibility,

423
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: and that's exciting. I mean, you're gonna have great players

424
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: on the field. We've had a credible history over the

425
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: course of this game of mahomes. Yeah, Sools You're gonna

426
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: add to that, no doubt. But you're also when you

427
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: talk about the teams um and the excitement we have.

428
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: I tell you, both Jimbo Fisher and Mike Gundy expressed

429
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: in multiple times and multiple media appearances yesterday the opportunity

430
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: to be in this market for a week with all

431
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: the heavy the heavy emphasis on recruiting this time of year,

432
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: and and to be able to tell their story and

433
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: as I heard them both say, plant the flag here

434
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: in Houston the number one recruiting mark in the country.

435
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: That's something that these institutions are incredibly excited about is

436
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: they both have some of their top prospects in twenty

437
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two that are right here in the

438
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: Houston market. Yep, there's no question. And there are certain

439
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: cities that you want to dominate. And I don't know

440
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: that the city as big as Houston or LA or

441
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: Miami that you're gonna completely dominate, but you have to

442
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: have a presence in that city that kids do not

443
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: forget that when they're sitting down saying, man, what am

444
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: I gonna think about? Why I always see O Cokloma

445
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: State and always see A and M here. I always

446
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: see them here. That's gotta matter. That's gotta matter. And

447
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: plant your flag here is absolutely a must I think

448
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: for those two universities to be successful in both their conferences. Also,

449
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: on Saturday, some news came down in Oxford, Mississippi. May

450
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: have been Friday, but I think it was Saturday when

451
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin was announced as the new head coach at

452
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: the University of Mississippi, which matters to us because the

453
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: twenty kickoff is going to be the Baylor Bears against

454
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: the Old Miss Rebels Soul. I text the buddy of mine,

455
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: Richard Cross, who was a sideline reporter for the Old

456
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: Miss Rebels, and he had asked me. I had been

457
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: on his radio show just a day before and he

458
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: asked me about and Kiffin. I was like, yeah, okay,

459
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know that it was that far along. So

460
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: I texted them and I said, Lane, Kiffin, Hus, that

461
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: should be interesting for you. He said, I'll tell you this.

462
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: The number of Old Miss fans come into Htown next

463
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: September just went from thirty five hundred to twenty thousand.

464
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: What kind of music is that to your ears, mister

465
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: Fletcher of a whole mister Cross. But you know, seeing

466
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: it happen in real time on Saturday, I could definitely

467
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: feel the energy from the Old Miss fan base and

468
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: couple with what an incredible story Baylor has been rule

469
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: of the last couple of years, but particularly this year.

470
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: You know, we knew we had a great matchup anytime

471
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: you get as I mentioned big twelve sec, we got

472
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: that to start the year. Next year, I definitely think

473
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: the the eyeballs are going to be turned towards Houston

474
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: in a much different manner than they were prior to

475
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Friday night, and we couldn't be more thrilled about it.

476
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: It's just it's great to see big time matchups continue

477
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: to be here in Houston, as they should be one

478
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: of the premier destinations for college football. And after finishing

479
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: off the year this year with a great Academy Sports

480
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: and Outdoors Texas Bowl, get a great opportunity that kickoff

481
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: game next year just fired it up again for twenty twenty. So,

482
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: you know, I just you know, as I said, we

483
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: all worked really hard. I've said it many times, we

484
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: all work really hard in this organization, in this community

485
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: to put our best foot forward in major events. Got

486
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: two more big ones on the radar, and that doesn't

487
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: even include a couple of weeks after that game, the

488
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: potential national champions, the LSU Tigers, could be coming over

489
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: here to play Rice University as well. So looking looking

490
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: ahead to twenty twenty, it's it's definitely got a lot

491
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: of fun right there on the front end of the season,

492
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,239
Speaker 1: but we're gonna finish it off in a big, big

493
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,840

00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,520

518
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: one final segment of Texas All Access on this Monday

519
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris.

520
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna turn it over to Eagles the Giants here

521
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: in a little bit. It looks as if the Eagles

522
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: should win this thing, get the six and seven and

523
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: be tied with Dallas Cowboys as they head into a

524
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: big matchup with the Cowboys here over the last three

525
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: weeks of the year to determine the NFC East winner

526
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: just probably gonna be nine and seven at best, probably

527
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: eight and eight. But you know that's what you get

528
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: with the NFC East this year. I mentioned that a

529
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: little while ago talking about the Patriots. The Patriots got

530
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: matched up with the NFC East and the AFC East.

531
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: That's four games against the Dolphins and the Jets, four

532
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: games against the entire NFAC East. There's eight games, and

533
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: then you got the Bills, and they beat the Bills

534
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: once on the road. I want to say they owned

535
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: the Bills. What they've beaten the Bills a bunch, So

536
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: you wonder sometimes how things pan out. They had a

537
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: pretty easy schedule, even though they lost the Ravens Chiefs

538
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: Texans schedule is pretty easy at that point. So there

539
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: you go. All right, let's talk to our buddy Andre

540
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: where he's gonna give us his thoughts about what he

541
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: saw Sunday when he saw from Drew lock and getting

542
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: ready for Nashville and the Tennessee Titans. How do you

543
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: describe it when you have a game like that, which, yeah,

544
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: you're clearly not yourself, you're capable of a lot more,

545
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: but you come out flat like that and it's snowballs

546
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: away from you. What do you make of that? Well?

547
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: I was kind of shocked at the way the defense played,

548
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: to be quite honest, against the rookie quarterback and Drew

549
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: Locke and the success that he had, especially early in

550
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: the ball game. But then you know self inflicted wounds,

551
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: penalties and inopportune times where you're driving and then all

552
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden you go from third and third and

553
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: five to third and ten. There it's much harder to

554
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: convert in that situation than it is a third and

555
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: five and then if you're in third and five, pretty

556
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: much have the entire playbook open to you, where you

557
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: where they were on the field at the time, and

558
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: their opening drive. You you have four down territory or

559
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: you give yourself that that option if you're fourth and

560
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: two or fourth and one after running the football, whatever

561
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: you want to do, but you get to third and ten,

562
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: that's the advantage for the defense. Turnovers in that ball game,

563
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: I think there were three, one return for a touchdown

564
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: by Kareem Jackson. It was just one thing after the other.

565
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: And then as you sit back and I was thinking

566
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: about this after the game, just how important one player

567
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: really is to an offense. And that player is Will Fuller,

568
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: And I think it's something that we might have overlooked

569
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: during the ballgame. A player that can take the top

570
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: off of defense and account for two defenders and then

571
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: that way you can run the football. Tight ends get

572
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: themselves involved in the in the short intermediate area. He

573
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: is a very vital part of this offense. You know,

574
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been helped because of the hamstring and yesterday, I

575
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: think they felt it. Last week against New England, it

576
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: was front and center, just how important he is. Yeah,

577
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: we talked about that, Drey. We made our whist list

578
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: and we took a little while to get there, but

579
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, Will Fuller is obviously hugely important. Let's flip

580
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: it over a defensive side, dre Drew Locke, And I'd

581
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: like for you to kind of go into what you

582
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: were talking about about Drew Lock because you covered him

583
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: in college and I thought you made some really good points,

584
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: and I know you we weren't really able to elaborate

585
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: too much on it, just the nature of the game.

586
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: But what did you see from Drew Lock yesterday that

587
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: you saw at Missouri. That's one thing, and then the

588
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: second one is, Okay, now that you've seen Drew Locke,

589
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: now that you've seen you know, Tom Brady, you've seen

590
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. Some you've stopped some you haven't. Defensively, what

591
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: do you need to do going forward to be able

592
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: to get to a level where you're not giving up

593
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: thirty eight points through three quarters. Yeah. I think when

594
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: this deef and faces a quarterback that is stationary, they're

595
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: going to get home. They're going to get pressure on

596
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Yesterday, Drew Locke's not that player. He's mobile,

597
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: he's athletic. What I saw at Missouri at times I

598
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: saw yesterday, and that's if you allow him to start fast,

599
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: the confidence will grow. He's got armed talent, he's got

600
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: the mobility I just explained, and it just kind of

601
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: starts to build. And once he threw the interception, though

602
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: then there were all of a sudden times where Denver

603
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: didn't move the ball nearly as as as well as

604
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: they did in parts of the game, and that's where

605
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: I kept thinking, Okay, sooner or later, he's gonna make

606
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: a mistake. But he just found open receivers time and

607
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: time again and was very, very accurate with the football

608
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: to the point where during breaks I'm thinking, what was

609
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio looking at when he basically said the kid

610
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: wasn't ready to play sat him for all of what

611
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: twelve weeks almost, I think, with a thumb injury that happened,

612
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: and he kept just saying he wasn't ready to play him,

613
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: not gonna play him, when in all essence, who knows

614
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: where the Broncos would be if he were healthy and

615
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: was on the field, Because they looked good defensively. We

616
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: knew that on defense. This was a very viable team

617
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 1: that could cause some problems and then offensively, all they

618
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: need is basically a quarterback to play some consistent football.

619
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: Much to the liking of what we will face next

620
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: week in Nashville against the Titans. That is a good

621
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: football team that for a while now needed some consistency

622
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: and stability at the quarterback position, and Ryan tanney Hill

623
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: has seemed to give him that. Andre you talked about

624
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, the lack of will yesterday. What about Deshaan

625
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: Watson as to what he was looking at yesterday and

626
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: what he needs to work out going into next week.

627
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's coming off the performance against the Patriots AFC.

628
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: That's a player of the week. Obviously yesterday was not

629
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: the best day, but he's got to get it going

630
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: again against a tough team on the road. Yeah, I

631
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: thought yesterday he kind of snapped back into that the

632
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: habit of holding the ball a little bit too long.

633
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: And then there was one where I can't remember the

634
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: sender's name that had had free run on a free

635
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: run on him and he just didn't even see him

636
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: and it could have been a lot worse than it

637
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: actually was. But trying to make big plays after being down,

638
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: you're still within well within your game plan. If you're

639
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: down fourteen points. And I think I made a comment

640
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: during the game that against vix Vic Fangio's defense, but

641
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: getting the ball out is a premium because they're gonna

642
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: play some zone. They're gonna play some you know, a

643
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: little bit of man here and there and across the board.

644
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna play some they'll give you some zone blitz.

645
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: But if the ball's coming out and on time, and

646
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: you're up to speed and pre snapped reads, then you're

647
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna protect us self and you'll be able to move

648
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: to football. Much to the degree of what they did

649
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: early in that ball game yesterday, and then all of

650
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: a sudden he started to hold it. Things started happening.

651
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: Holding it and then throwing it late caused a couple

652
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: of interceptions, especially the one later. Those are things that

653
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: he had basically gotten himself away from. But being down

654
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: in a game and you're trying to will your team

655
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: to come back when you will tend to do that.

656
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: But you just have to remember if you're still within

657
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: striking distance, then you stick to the game plan. Dre

658
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: Nashville Sunday. It's as big as it can get during

659
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: the season, Ryan Tannehill playing out of his mind, Derrick

660
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Henry has been very hard to tackle the last two

661
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: years basically, and now A J Brown from All Miss

662
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: the rookie has been making plays week in and week out.

663
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,959
Speaker 1: This offense terrifies me because at five hundred and fifty

664
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: two yards at Oakland and probably left another hundred out

665
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: on the field, it seemed. But to me, the key

666
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: ends up being Ryan Tannehill, with him Matt quarterback, the

667
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: change of scenery to Nashville. I mean, he goes out

668
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: saying that it's done, wonders for him. Do you think

669
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: ay that he can replicate that success Sunday gets the

670
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: Texans be Do you think he's the long term answer

671
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: for the Titans to do that? He's very much like

672
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: what you just had a chance to see yesterday, Johnny.

673
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's athletic cat played receiver at Texas A

674
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: and M. He's got speed, he's got he could move around,

675
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: he's got an accurate army. So I saw that yesterday

676
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: got home in time to turn that game on and

677
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: catch about just about three quarters of it. So that

678
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: I think he's a lot like Drew Locke, maybe not

679
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: quite the velocity, but it's not far off. The accuracy

680
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: is there and the mobility is there. That those are

681
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that have caused the Texans problems on defense, and

682
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: so you've got to you got to make sure that

683
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: you keep him bottled up. You've got to make sure

684
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: you can get home. You gotta get hit on the

685
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: quarterback like he did against Brady, not allow him to

686
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: escape because he is accurate when when he escapes the

687
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: pocket and he's got weapons. Brown the receiver now is

688
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: starting to to really step up and had a hell

689
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: of a day yesterday. And Derrick Henry, I'm not sure

690
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: he'll be one hundred percent by Sunday, but he was

691
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: whatever percent he was yesterday was good enough because he

692
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: looked good in uh in a win over the Raiders

693
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: on the road. So it will be a tall order

694
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: going on the road, but it is doable. That's that's

695
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: the good thing. Andres psychologically though, how do you bounce

696
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: back mentally from this? They've done it before, They've done

697
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: it as recently as Baltimore to Indian they were able

698
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: to beat the Colts and now they got to do

699
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: it going on the road to Nashville. Yeah, it felt like,

700
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: and I said this at the time after the Baltimore game,

701
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: that that's that's a sixteen game schedule. You're bound to

702
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: have a game that looks that way and you just

703
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: hope to have enough enough stuff to win the football game. Well,

704
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: sometimes there's two in a season, in a sixteen game schedule,

705
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: and how you bounce back is the most important thing.

706
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: I think I've always wanted to just forget the game

707
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: and let's move on to the next one. So they'll

708
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: take a peek at it and then start to get

709
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: themselves ready for Tennessee. It's it's now. It's you want

710
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: to right or wrong. You can't wait to get yourself

711
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: back on the field. Coaches want to get the game

712
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: plan in and start to work on it and turn

713
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: the page on this thing. And I think they'll be ready,

714
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: definitely ready to play in Nashville next week. Okay, MA

715
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: ask both of you guys this, because he has broken

716
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: our hearts many many times, Adam Schefter tweeted about twenty

717
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: minutes ago, and get your thoughts, Drey, start with you.

718
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: Colts kicker Adam Vinati will undergo season ending knee surgery

719
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: and we'll be placed on IR do you think it

720
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: ends his career? And if it does, what do you

721
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: have to say about Adam Minetarry Grays kicker of all

722
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: timer No, yes, play, I think so. I think so.

723
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Morten Anderson was who pretty good. But this this guy

724
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: has has had some some clutch kicks as well. Is

725
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: it his plant me or is it is his kicking kicking?

726
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: You had to ask, Yeah, I don't know, sure. I

727
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: think I certainly if it's If it's the kicking leg,

728
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: it certainly ends it because you were starting to see

729
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: um the the he starting to see the diminishing effects.

730
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: As as the season progression, it was probably because there

731
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: was obviously something going on. But I think twenty what

732
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: is it, twenty one, twenty two years of doing doing this,

733
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's probably about time. Well. The other

734
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: thing is the amount of clutch kicks he's been afforded

735
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity to try, right, playing for the Patriots, playing

736
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: for the Cults, being in those situations with those really

737
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: good teams when he's been on them, that's also a

738
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: big plus for him. And he's taken advantage of those opportunities.

739
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: Here's twenty four years. Here, twenty four years Yeah, that's crazy.

740
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Here's one for you guys. When he goes

741
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame, does he go in as

742
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: a Patriot or does he go in as a cult?

743
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: I was just thinking the same thing. I was thinking

744
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. It's funny because as much as

745
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: we think of the early Super Bowl wins with the Patriots,

746
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: I still think of him. Well, that's what he is

747
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: right now, a cult, And I think maybe that's what

748
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: he does. I say with a question mark. I don't know. Good.

749
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: First year he was an Indian, they won. They won

750
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in two thousand and six. So I man,

751
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. If i'm him, I probably want to

752
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: go in as a cult. Maybe I probably want to

753
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: go in as a colt. Thanks a lot for being

754
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: well us. We'll catch up later in the week. All right, guys,

755
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,479
Speaker 1: have a good one. That's a good pal. Andre where

756
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: joining us on at Texans all Access. All right, before

757
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: we go, If you guys have not been following this

758
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: story today, it is absolutely unbelievable. This happened in Cleveland

759
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Now Cleveland's playing Cincinnati, and it's important

760
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: because Cincinnati's next opponent is the New England Patriots. Cincinnati

761
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: head coach Zach Taylor was asked on Monday whether he

762
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: could confirm that the Patriots the New England Patriots had staff,

763
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: wait for it, videotaping their play calls during the bengals

764
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven nineteen Week fourteen loss to the Browns. Coach

765
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 1: Taylor said, no comment, and the Bengals are aware. Ian

766
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: Rappaport then followed up with a couple of tweets and

767
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: he said via source and formed the Patriots situation. The

768
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: team reached out to the Browns for a credential for

769
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: videographers shooting behind the scenes piece on an advanced scout.

770
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: It's called do your job. You haven't seen It's pretty good,

771
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: and the videographer apparently shot b Roll in the press box.

772
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: The Pats didn't ask the league until afterwards. However, they

773
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: did ask the Browns and they had a credential from

774
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: the Browns. Obviously, the Bengals didn't know about this, so

775
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: it sounds and sound did as if Okay, this is,

776
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a just case of miscommunication. Okay,

777
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the Bengals looked at it quite that way,

778
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: but they're all right. Whatever now, Diana, We're seen you

779
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: from ESPN then later posted this. A source tells me

780
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: a Bengals employee was watching the videographer slash cameraman, who

781
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: identified himself as a Robert Craft employee. The Bengals employee

782
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: kept an eye on that monitor. The shot was of

783
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals coaches and staff on the sidelines for the

784
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: entire first quarter. The Bengals employee flagged media relations. Bengal

785
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: security then interviewed the Craft videographer. This was also taped.

786
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: The cameraman asked if they could just delete the footage

787
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: and it all be forgotten PERST sources. Sources say there

788
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: was a guy interviewing a Patriots pro scout before the game,

789
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: but that was over when the game started. The Patriots

790
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: no longer have the tape. Raccini called the Bengals and

791
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: they will not release it to ESPN. The league also

792
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: has it. Now. What's interesting in all this is everything

793
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: works through radio headset, so why would you film the sideline.

794
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm back in two thousand seven. It wasn't that way

795
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: when they were filming. Apparently for Spygate. This is not

796
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: quite that way, So I don't know exactly what this

797
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: might mean who knows, but this is a crazy situation

798
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: now and we'll see what happens. Bill Belichick said they're

799
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: onto Cincinnati, and well it sounds like Cincinnati was onto

800
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: them at some point, and we'll see what transpired. And

801
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: maybe this is all much ado about nothing. But if

802
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: the Patriots are involved in the word videotaping is used, oh,

803
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: it's not nothing. Does that make sense? It's something? Is

804
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 1: that right? I don't know either way. It's not nothing,

805
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: it's something crazy stuff going on in the NFL. All right,

806
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys listening. We got Giant and Eagles coming

807
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: up right here on our flanks in Sports Radio six ten.

808
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. We'll see tomorrow. As always,

809
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: Go Texans.
