12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: with you because last year, at this time, we were

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: all planning what we're gonna do Friday night and planning

14
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: what we were gonna do Saturday and Sunday, and it

15
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: didn't include watching the Texans Indivisional playoff round. Fast forward

16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty. That's what we will be doing on Sunday,

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: two h five Arrowheads Stadium, seventy one thousand, make that

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: seventy six thousand plus screaming Kansas City fans hopefully a

19
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: few thousand Texans fans will be in the stands as

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: well for Divisional playoff round game. Kansas City Chiefs twelve

21
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: and four AFC West champs got a buy after they

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: got some help from former Texan and former Bengal and

23
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: former Ram and former Jet and former Bill and former

24
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: whatever else Ryan Fitzpatrick as he led the Dolphins to

25
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: a win over the Patriots in weeks seventeen, and when

26
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs won, they both finished with twelve and four records.

27
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: But because Kansas City had beaten New England, Kansas City

28
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: moved the two spot. New England fell to the three.

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: New England then had to face off with Tennessee. The

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Titans knock in New England out, Kansas City got to

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: buy and waits a visit from US on Sunday as

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: a nine and a half point favorite. How about that?

33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: I am your host this evening, John Harris, Football Analyston's

34
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: sideline reporter and of course couldn't be more thrilled to

35
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: be with you. After man, we had a great show

36
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: last night. I really I wish you could have been

37
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: there out at the Houston Texas team shop right there

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium on the south end of the stadium.

39
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: We had a great We had a great time, really

40
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: really cool. I don't get a chance to do the

41
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: live food Rucker shows. I only go out there when

42
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: we moved the Bill o'bryant's show, and we do that

43
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: show out there from five to six. Sometimes we do

44
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: that on Mondays and sometimes we move with the Tuesdays

45
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: depending on when we play the game, all that kind

46
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: of stuff. So I get out there every every now

47
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: and again. But it was kind of like the flood

48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Ruckers crew being out but a lot of fans and

49
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: we came away tickets, two tickets, tripping everything to Kansas

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: City last night. And couple won it and they were

51
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: outside with their little baby and she heard her name

52
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: and she just started screaming. We're like, ah, I guess

53
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: we know who won. So it's pretty cool. So they'll

54
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: be up there at Arrowhead. It's gonna be a really

55
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: cool environment, raucous, loud. They may not like the Texans

56
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: and all that, but let's playoff football. Man. It's supposed

57
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: to be that way. You know, an energy stadium sounding

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: like last time last week. Yeah, Arrowhead's gonna sound like that.

59
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: It might be a little chillier though the forecast, which

60
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: is important because playing this game on Sunday, we may

61
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: ultimately avoid having to play this game in the snow.

62
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: In fact, it's raining right now in Kansas City, and

63
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: then the temperature is gonna drop as they get into

64
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: the ten eleven twelve o'clock hours, as we move on

65
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: into early Saturday, and then it turns to snow and

66
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: it's going to snow for a while. But on Sunday

67
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: it's scheduled to be a high of thirty six and

68
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: love twenty one. So in the morning we get up,

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: we'll see our breath. I'm running inside, not outside, and

70
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: a high of thirty six. Now Kansas City, you can

71
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: get that wing going through there, so it's gonna be

72
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: breezy and cold in that Arrowhead Stadium, So if you're going,

73
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: bundle up. But because the games on Sunday, maybe we

74
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: avoid that snow. Now, maybe that snow gets pushed in

75
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: the Sunday. Who knows, Maybe the snow ends up being

76
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: not an issue at all, it just kind of piles

77
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: up on the sidelines. Who knows. Last year when they

78
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: played the Vision Around playoff game against the Colts, it's

79
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: snowed before or the game, and then intermittently throughout the game.

80
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know that it was a huge the snow,

81
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a huge factor. But the

82
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: field was you could see snow on the field, but

83
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: it was muddy. The sidelines were kind of a mess,

84
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: which obviously I have to deal with. So it was

85
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: a little it was a little kind of crummy if

86
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: you will. We'll see what it's like on Sunday. But

87
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: it's playoff football. Man. It's almost as if you I

88
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: almost sort of welcome it, to be honest. I mean

89
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: not to the point where I want something bad to

90
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: happen to the Texans on a sloppy field, but it's

91
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: like it's a playoffs man. I think about the Ice Bowl.

92
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: I think about all these great games have been played

93
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: and zero degree temperatures or played on fields where they

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: can you can see the grass dains, a little bit

95
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: of mud on the jersey. That's when we play off

96
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: football supposed to beat and that's what it will be

97
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Now, I will tell you, I am

98
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: I straight up love indoor football in January. You know,

99
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: when there's rain in the eyes and those kind of

100
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: things or it's really, really, really cold. So I loved

101
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: the Energy Stadium last week. That was awesome. You know what,

102
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: you go to Kansas City, you gotta buttle up a

103
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: little bit. There might be some snow, you might have

104
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: some snowballs thrown at you. That's kind of the fun

105
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: playoff football. So I'm looking forward to that on Sunday

106
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: at Airhead Stadium. Okay, what do we got on the

107
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: show for you this evening. Well, I'm gonna make all

108
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: my predictions for games. The other three games. How did

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: we get here? How did we get to Vikings v.

110
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers, Titans v. Ravens, and also Seahawks v. Packers.

111
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: We'll do that next. We'll also have my first community

112
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: rad Union first glance keys to the game. We'll have

113
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: that for you as well. And Mark is going to

114
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: stop by on the show this even he can give

115
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: his thoughts. It's the fourth Division round game that he

116
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: is gonna call. It's my second. So missed the first

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: two in which faced the Ravens in Baltimore and then

118
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: the Patriots in New England, but I was there twenty sixteen.

119
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: We faced the Patriots and put on one heck of

120
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: a defensive performance, but too many mistakes in the end

121
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: cost us. And now we've got this one against Patrick

122
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs, So we'll get Mark's thoughts on

123
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: that later in the show. We will get Justin Read.

124
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: I have to make sure I say Justin because I

125
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: us say Andy. That's well. I don't want Andy Read

126
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: on the show this week. I want Justin Reid on

127
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: the show. So are for our final word this evening

128
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: with Drew Doherty. It is Justin Reid who is going

129
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: to play a significant role in this game. And we'll

130
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about why in just a second.

131
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: But on a Friday, we always kick it off with

132
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: some hot reads. They're brought to you by Geiko fifteen

133
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: minutes can say you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

134
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: And our first hot read is always a visit with

135
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: the head coach of your Houston Texans, Billow Bryan Mark Vandom.

136
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: You're caught up with him earlier today, Coach. Everyone talks

137
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes, and for a good reason, but the

138
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs can also hurt you in the running game. What

139
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: about that dimension of what they bring offensive? Definitely, Um,

140
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: you know they run a lot of RPOs. They've got

141
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: three backs that are really good and they do a

142
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: good job. They do a good job of mixing the

143
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: run in. They have different schemes. They run outside, they

144
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: run inside. So you know, basically, in this type of

145
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: game where you're going up against an offense like this,

146
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: it's really about you know, getting the call, getting communicated,

147
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: getting lined up, play that play, play the next play,

148
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: do as good a job as you can on third down.

149
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: I think third down is gonna be a big stat

150
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: in the game. You know, our ability to get off

151
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: the field on third down, our ability to stay on

152
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: the field. On these two teams, I think we have

153
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: the least amount of three and ounce in the in

154
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: the league this year and they have the second least

155
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: amount of three and ounces in the league this year.

156
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna be a big stat. They're dumb.

157
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: What about when Mahomes pulls off that first or second

158
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: option and improvises in the passing game? How hard is

159
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: it to get ready for that? Yeah, I mean there's

160
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: a you know, that's kind of the deal, right. They're

161
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: probably they're probably asking Andy Reid the same thing about DaShan.

162
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime you know you have a play that's

163
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: called in the huddle, and then there's the play that

164
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: actually happens. Right, So you know, I think we've got

165
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: to do as good a job as we cannot be

166
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: in discipline in our pass rush lanes and try to do,

167
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, do a good job keeping them in the pocket.

168
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: How much of the game plan is trying to figure

169
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: out how they might try to play you differently this

170
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: time because you did have some success running the ball

171
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: last time. Yeah, I mean, look, we're gonna have to

172
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: see what it is. I mean, they're definitely better on

173
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: defense than October. I think that's why you're in the playoffs, right,

174
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: You've improved during the year. So, you know, we'll have

175
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: to see what it is. We'll have to see, you know,

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: how they're playing and what their packages and what their

177
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: scheme is and try to adjust accordingly. Might be some wind,

178
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: So how does that factor to the kicking game when

179
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to force a return or not just go

180
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: for the touchback, or maybe it's hard to go for

181
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: the touchback if the wind is in the wrong direction. Yeah,

182
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: I think the kicking game is most affected by the weather,

183
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Then the passing game. But

184
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: I think the kicking game will be a big factor.

185
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: It's important for us to get over there, get on

186
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: the bus, get over the stadium and see what the

187
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: weather's like on game day. I don't think he can

188
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: predict it right now. You can say what it might be,

189
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: and you know, we've got a lot of weather experts

190
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: around here, but uh, you know, until you actually see

191
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: what it is, you know you have to adjust accordingly.

192
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: All Right, you talked about third dab, but what about

193
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: the biggest keys to victory? Look, I think you just

194
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit. I think that you know,

195
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: it's ability to run the ball, ability to stop the run,

196
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: keep Mahomes in the pocket. I think special teams will

197
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: play a big factor in the game. And I think

198
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: turnovers will play a big factor in the game. If

199
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: we can take care of the ball and maybe get

200
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: a couple of takeaways, you know we'll be in the

201
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: ball game. Coach takes a lot. Good luck. Thanks Van,

202
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: appreciate code for popping by all on the show on

203
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: this Friday evening. Remember Coaches Show Monday five to six pm.

204
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our next hot read and

205
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: last hot read, and that is the injury rup parts

206
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: good news and bad news and everything mixed in. Limited

207
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: participants to day in practice, all questionable, Julila dit Jordan Nakins,

208
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Keenant Crossing, jumped the Joseph Kenny Stills, Will Fuller. Of

209
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: course game time decision coach talked about that, did think

210
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: maybe but obviously isn't gonna tip his hand. But also

211
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: showing up today which bothers me a little bit, is

212
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: Darren Fells the first day he showed up on the

213
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: injury report this week and hate that because last week

214
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakens showed up with a hamstring and then he

215
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: was out. Fellas he showed up today with a hip,

216
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: he is questionable, good news. Jacob Martin, A. J. Moore,

217
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: JJ Watt all full participants, all ready to go for

218
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Morris Clayborne's out were really doing a whole

219
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: off of the team. The two questionables are the big ones.

220
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey dealing with a bruised knee. I would think

221
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in. But the one to keep an

222
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: eye on is the guy who missed Week six and

223
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs fans had been talking about him coming back

224
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: for this game is Chris Jones, dynamic defensive tackle. He

225
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: has been questionable with a calf. He was limited in

226
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday, and that is apparently when it happened.

227
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: He did not practice on Friday. Now that doesn't mean

228
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: that he won't play, but he had a similar injury

229
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: in Week six of the Texans. It didn't play and

230
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: it was a factor. We'll see if that turns into

231
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: being out in this one. But right now he is questionable,

232
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: as is Travis Kelsey. So there is your injury slash

233
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: status report. Okay, we get back. It's half from my

234
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: predictions straight up and against the spread for the three games.

235
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Let's break them down. Let's do that next right here

236
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: in Texans All Access. What's going on? Everybody? Welcome back

237
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: to a Friday edition of Texas All Access from the

238
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: Honday Texans A Radio's studio. I am your host, John

239
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Harris Football Alms to side the reporter. I'm glad to

240
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: be with you. And as I mentioned coming out of

241
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: last segment, I each it every Friday. Have you got

242
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: to make all my predictions straight up and against the spread.

243
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: And now that we are into Divisional weekend, we still

244
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: have four games and since your Texans are involved in one.

245
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: I will never pick that game. Can't pick hearthead, can't

246
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: go against it. So you know how I pick no

247
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: matter what the spread is spreaking me twenty seven thousand

248
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: and still would pick the Texans to win and to

249
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: cover and down deep, I feel like that's what the

250
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Texans will do. They will win and if they win,

251
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: they will cover the nine and a half point spread.

252
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: It's the largest spread this weekend for any playoff game. Yikes,

253
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: it's weird. I don't get it. I don't understand it.

254
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't I don't know. I don't get it. I

255
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: don't get it. The Texans actually should have won that

256
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: game by more than seven, now I think about it.

257
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: Remember Dandrey Hopkins dropped the pass that would have been

258
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He never drops a pass, will full out

259
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: his hands on at least three balls that could have

260
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: been touchdowns. So there was that. But either way, it's

261
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: a nine a half point spread. Now the Baltimore line

262
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: has moved. So let's get into these three other games

263
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: in chronological order, and let's start out in San Francisco.

264
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: But before we go there, I need my music. Are

265
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: you ready with my music? Maestro? Yes you are, and

266
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: there it is. So let's get into the first game

267
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: of the weekend, and that will take place at three

268
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: thirty five Central time, one thirty five out west. And

269
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: it's out west where we go. The Minnesota Vikings taking

270
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco forty nine Ers. The forty nine

271
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: Ers had to buy the number one team in the NFC.

272
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: The Vikings pulled a massive upset. How well, it sounded

273
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: a little like this, Ran Rudolf up here at the top.

274
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Cousins throws passes, caught for the wind, Kyle Rudolf and

275
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: the Vikings are moving on. But even better than that

276
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: was the call of Paul Allen, played by play voice

277
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Vikings. Take a listen, Shotgun Dalvin Cook

278
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: to his lapt third and goal from the floor. Kirk

279
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: takes the snap. We'll try fade left end zone and

280
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: it is caught touchdown. Amazing decision by Kirk Cousins. He

281
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: saw me all blitch. He knew he had Rudolph one

282
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: on one with the corner Rudy and just threw the

283
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: jump ball. What a beautiful throne your San Francisco and

284
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: horror of wa New Orleans Saints bojer San Francisco of

285
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: WA to the New Orleans Saints. It was that was fantastic.

286
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: That was one heck of a call. He'd been sitting

287
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: on that one for a little while now. In this one,

288
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco's favored by seven. But the Vikings went to

289
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans last week and that was a confident, physical

290
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: football team. Dalvin Cook ran really well, but the defense

291
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: was key. The defense got all kinds of heat on

292
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Everson Griffin, Daniel Hunter. I don't know that

293
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers offensive front can handle all the

294
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Vikings will throw at it. However, it's a Kyle Shanahan offense.

295
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: They'll find different wrinkles. So in this one, I'm going

296
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: with the forty nine Ers to win and host the

297
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game the following weekend. But I do think

298
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings will get into that number. They will

299
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: get into the seven. It will be close. This will

300
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: not be a pretty football game. I'm not sure what

301
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the weather's gonna be, but it's not gonna be a

302
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: pretty football game. This is going to be two teams

303
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: physically going at it, and they're very similar to one another. However,

304
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: I do think Minnesota's offensive line a little better than

305
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco's. Is Jimmy Garoppolo can move a little bit,

306
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins not as much. That might be a factor

307
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: in this. George Kittle a big one on the San

308
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: Francisco side, and San Francisco will find somebody to run

309
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: a football. But in the end that will be what

310
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: it takes. San Francisco will come out with the w,

311
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: but Minnesota will get inside the seven. Now playoff time.

312
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: You don't really care about that. But those people that

313
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: do you care about that, if you know what I mean,

314
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: they'll like seeing Minnesota get inside that seven. The Saturday

315
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: Night nightcap is I'm right, Saturday, and I was gonna

316
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: say Saturday Nightcap, I was a little redundant. The Saturday

317
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: Nightcap is the Titans taking on the Ravens at M

318
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: ANDT Bank Stadium, Baltimore. Is a ten point favorite. A

319
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: lot of people thought this would be Houston or Buffalo.

320
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: It ended up being the Titans, who put a capper

321
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: on the win over New England with this Rady's pass

322
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: for touchdown. My logan Ryan Patriots logan Ryan going into

323
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: his former team's building with a game clinching interception. Titans

324
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: win twenty to thirteen to move on to the next

325
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: round against the Ravens in an offense that has been

326
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: motor ring all year, virtually unstoppable, and one of the

327
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: more unstoppable aspects of this offense is Lamar Jackson throwing

328
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: at Mark Andrews and the birthday Boy. This week, Lamar

329
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: Jackson spoke of the rapport that Lamar has with the

330
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: tight end Mark Andrews, who led the league in tight

331
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: end touchdown receptions. Yeah, we just, like you said, you know,

332
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: we've been playing sweet ball, but not just with Mark,

333
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: you know it at all our guys. You know, we're

334
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: just getting a lot of chemistry as the season went. No,

335
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: we just got a lot more comfortable for the field

336
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: of the game. You know, markin do a great job

337
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: at reading the defense known when his own you know,

338
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: he have room and I find it out because I'm

339
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: dropping back and I'm seeing it, so I just throw

340
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: on the window and he's just do whatever he'd do. Boy,

341
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: they've been getting it going this year, there's no question

342
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: about that. But the key in this game is gonna

343
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: be whether Mark Ingram can be out on the field.

344
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews will be, but mark Ingram may not be.

345
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: He's been dealing with an injury that has bothered him

346
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: the last few weeks of the year, and this rest

347
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: may not have gotten him ready. However, I think that

348
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: actually makes Baltimore more dangerous. With Gus get On the

349
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: Gus Bus Edwards and Justice Hill the rookie out o

350
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Colomba State. I think those two together are actually a

351
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: little bit more dangerous in combination to go against that

352
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: Titans defense. Now, a lot has been made of the

353
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: Titans goal line stand last week against New England Patriots,

354
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: and all the Titans defense is this man. The Texans

355
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: and the Saints lit up the Titans defense in weeks

356
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: fifteen and sixteen, and then the Titans came here and

357
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: beat our you know, our backup guys, and everyone's like,

358
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: oh the Titans. And the Titans then held the Patriots

359
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: to thirteen points, Like okay, nearly everybody did. Nope, the

360
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Patriots didn't too much this year. I think this is

361
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: going to be a blowout. Now. I know you're listening

362
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: to going, John. You haven't liked the Titans all year

363
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: pretty much, even when they made a change. Look, I'll

364
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: give him credit when they had Derrick Henry Roland, A J.

365
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: Brunt did that offense out Roland, the defense played better.

366
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons. Next year, I think the Titans are going

367
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: to be something to deal with. They'll get another draft

368
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: in there, they might send a free agent here there,

369
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: But I just don't think they've got a shot of

370
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: stopping Lamar Jackson and this offense. Lamart. Now, there might

371
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: be a little bit of rust because Lamar hasn't played

372
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: since Week sixteen, but the Ravens are gonna get back

373
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: to physical play. They're gonna have a few different wrinkles

374
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: the Titans haven't seen. And Dean Pas the last time

375
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: that he saw Greg Roman was in the Super Bowl

376
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: when Peas was an offense coordinator for the Ravens and

377
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: Greg Romo's offensi coordinator for the forty nine ers, and

378
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: Dean Piece came out ahead. That will not happen this time.

379
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh and the and the Ravens and Lamar Jackson

380
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: will trout the Titans big time and get ready to

381
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: host the AFC Championship Game. To spread his ten layam,

382
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Baltimore Ravens over ten to beat the

383
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Now, I know that stinks for us in

384
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: Houston because you're thinking, Man, if the Titans win, the

385
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: Texans win, and then AFC Championship could be here, that

386
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. But it won't happen because the Ravens

387
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: are gonna take care of business. Then you have the

388
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: Texans in chiefs at two o five on Sunday, and

389
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: as we fly home hopefully with a W, everybody else

390
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: will be watching Seahawks v. Packers. And last week a tough,

391
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: brutal game in Philadelphia and Beast Mode showed up with

392
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: one of the key plays of the game. So lynch

393
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: is in first and goals from the five, marsh Shawn

394
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: lynch Man, can he fight his way? Yes, she can

395
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: hit the touchdown. We're all thinking the same thing. It's like, yeah,

396
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: everybody was thinking the same thing. Why didn't you hand

397
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: it to him four years ago? Five years ago, well

398
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: maybe five years ago, if you could have thrown a

399
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: ball at DK Metcalf, good things would have happened. Because

400
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: in the second half, well Russell Wilson looked up, decame Metcalf,

401
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Wilson deep downfield, getting free and open and making the

402
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: grand Man into the touchdown, goes down, gets up and

403
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: takes it into the end zone. And then on third

404
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: and long late, with an opportunity to get the ball back,

405
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles went covers zero and Wilson found Metcalf again.

406
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: Three receivers to the right, this great caver zero. We

407
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: come the Eagles, and Wilson's gonna go deep down the field,

408
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: and you've got an open man in Metcalf to the

409
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: fifty yard line. And then in all likelihood will write

410
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: to finish to this one. And a few minutes later

411
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: it was over seventeen nine. The Seahawks come away with

412
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: the victory, and now they head to Green Bay and

413
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: the last time the Seahawks and Packers played in Green Bay.

414
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: Mount Hasselbeck was a starting quarterback for the Seahawks. The

415
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 1: coin toss for overtime, well, he made a little bit

416
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: of a declaration, I wont score. He was sort of right.

417
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: Somebody did score, but it was the Packers Al Harris

418
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: who returned an interception for a touchdown to win that

419
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: playoff game. Well, five years ago, the Packers played the

420
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: Seahawks in the NFSC Championship game, and the Packers dominated

421
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: most of that game, and then an ill faded on

422
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: side kick went the way of the Seahawks. The game

423
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: would go into overtime and Russell Wilson, well, he made

424
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: magic happen. Wilson toward the end zone was going to

425
00:23:52,840 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Jermain curse. Now the scene shifts to

426
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: lambeau Field, where the Packers earned by this year, finishing

427
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: thirteen and three, And I can promise you after watching

428
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: them in preseason practice, I did not see that coming.

429
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: Now Vegas has them as a four and a half

430
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: point favorite, and a lot of times when you see

431
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: a three four to five point favorite in the NFL,

432
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: Vegas isn't quite sure what to expect. Seattle played very

433
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: well at Philadelphia. They can play and have played extremely

434
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: well in the road, but doing it twice in two weeks.

435
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: Now they get a little bit of a break like us.

436
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: They didn't have to play until Sunday, and then they're

437
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: playing at Sunday night. I don't believe whether it's gonna

438
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: be a huge factor, but Seattle and they're playing weather

439
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: up there in the pack Northwest. I am going upset

440
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: special right here. I've got the forty nine ers to

441
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: beat the Vikings straight up Vikings to cover. I got

442
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens blowing out the Titans and covering at ten,

443
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: and I've got the Seahawks with an upset win. Russell

444
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: Wilson goes back to the state of Wisconsin and the

445
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: Seahawks beat the Packers, upsetting the Packers. That's setting up

446
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: Round three in San Francisco against the forty nine Ers.

447
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: Gear up. The Seahawks will win that game and obviously

448
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: cover that four and a half point spread. All right,

449
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: the one game I didn't talk about is the one

450
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: I will talk about next. It's the one you want

451
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: to hear about. Texans vat Chiefs. What are the first

452
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: community first glance keys to the game against the Chiefs.

453
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I will go into those next. Right here on Texans

454
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: All Access. It is time for our first Community credit Union,

455
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: first glance keys to the game, first Community credit Union,

456
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: the official credit union of the Houston Texans Chiefs Texans

457
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: two h five Sunday cannot wait. Week six. We know

458
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: what happened in Kansas City at Airhead Stadium. Texans away

459
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: with a thirty one to twenty four win. They meet again,

460
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: and a lot has been made about how these two

461
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: teams are so different, and particular the Chiefs. The Chiefs

462
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: are so different. Well, let's get into it. Let's get

463
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: into our keys to the game, and let's start with

464
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: the Kansas City offense, your Texans defense. Let's get it

465
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: kicked off. Three two one. Key number one has got

466
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: to be Patrick Mahomes, Homes and rolling away. What else

467
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: is doing? Tyrone Hill makes the Cats. We've seen it

468
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: all year long. First out and yes, we all know

469
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: what Patrick Mahomes can do. Fifty touchdowns plus last year

470
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: through for twenty six this year, but he missed a

471
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: few games. We know he's one of the most talented

472
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in the NFL, but that he has got

473
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: to be keeping him in the well. Yes, he can

474
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: make every throw possible, and he can make a throw

475
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: from a condensed well, but force him to do it.

476
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: What happens when he gets out of the well well?

477
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: He does this like he did against the Chargers earlier

478
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: this year. Third down and four, My Homes out to

479
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: his left and trouble and going backward, trying to make

480
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: the prey and he does, the brilliance of Mahomes. He

481
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: finds Tammy and Williams for a first down. So the

482
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: Chargers do a great job in terms of getting pressure

483
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: on him, but they lose contain. They're on the outside

484
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: and with Mahomes able to get to the edge, and

485
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: the receiver's working back towards him, and that obviously is

486
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: the risk you run when you don't keep Patrick Mahomes

487
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: in the well. He gets out of the pocket. And

488
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: then you heard Troy Aikman say right at the end

489
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: there his receivers work with him. You've got to keep

490
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: him in the well outside of the pocket. Huge place

491
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: happened inside the pocket. He's gonna make some throws, don't

492
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but I'd rather him have to do

493
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: it from a condensed well than being able to allow

494
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: his receivers to get with him on the scramble. Drill

495
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: and defensive lineman are chasing him all over Arrowhead Stadium.

496
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: Next key three two one, the pick plays are coming.

497
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: You don't believe me. Remember what happened early in the

498
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs the first time, third and six,

499
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs at their thirteen, Mahomes and the gun one back.

500
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: Here's the snap. Mahomes with a little time, swings it

501
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: out left side first tat twenty twenty five thirty, forty

502
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: forty five, fifty and finally read's gonna hustle the receiver

503
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: up pounds left side as leaking out of the backfield

504
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: plays Darryl Williams. Now, it won't beat Darryl Williams this

505
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: time because Darryl Williams has been on ir But on

506
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: that particular play, Travis Kelsey came down and picked off

507
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: the linebacker that was had the responsibility of covering Daryl

508
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Williams and they just flipped it out to Williams out wide.

509
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey made a block. It was man coverage, big pick play. Now,

510
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien did challenge it, and they ended up getting

511
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: a flag on the Chiefs later for an offensive pass interference.

512
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, with the man and man coverage,

513
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: the Texans will play secondary and linebackers must stay on

514
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: different levels and communicate to make sure they don't get

515
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: picked off by Travis Kelsey or on routes that are

516
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: designed to get Kelsey open. That was a fifty two

517
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: yard game early in the game and really got the

518
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense rolling and got him, like you heard, his

519
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: third and six on the thirteen yard line that got

520
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: them out from the shadow of their goal, so to speak,

521
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: and got him going man to man coverage. There will

522
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: be pick routes, there's no way around it. Communication has

523
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: has been much much better. They have not gotten picked off.

524
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs are excellent at doing this, and you

525
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: know that they're coming. Be ready beware next key three

526
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: two one. I always say this about the Keys. I

527
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: don't know if there's any particular order to them. We

528
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: hit them. Mahomes, we talked about pick plays. The most

529
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: dangerous player on the field every time he steps on

530
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: the field is Tyreek Hill. Homes with time's tie Tyreek

531
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: Hill touchdown. When he last faced the Texans, it was

532
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: the first game that he had been back, and about

533
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: five or six weeks he had been out since the opener.

534
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: He got hurt against Jacksonville and then played in that

535
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: game against the Texans, and we really didn't know what

536
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: exactly he was gonna do. Then he did this early

537
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: on two receivers to each side. Oh, we had moving

538
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: on the Texans side. It appears Mahomes backed up pass

539
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: he's got all day. He's gonna throw down field to

540
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: the end zone and it's caught by the cheetah and

541
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: he got to La cross the whole line for a touchdown. Unbelievable,

542
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: a free player getting Tyreek Hill catches the ball in

543
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: traffic at scores. He had two touchdowns in that game.

544
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: That was the first on the first drive. Now, the

545
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: Patriots in the AFC Championship game last year did a

546
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: whale of a job of taking Tyreek Hill away because

547
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: they had no shame at all in doubling Tyreek Hill.

548
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: And sometimes that was keyon crossing on Tyreek Hill. But

549
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: there was a corner and there was a safety wherever

550
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill went, and the Patriots dared the Chiefs to

551
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: throw the ball to somebody else. They dared Sammy Watkins

552
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: to beat them. They dared Travis Kelsey. I don't know

553
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: if I maybe daring is the wrong word, but they

554
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: were just not going to let Tyreek Hill beat them.

555
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: In Week seventeen, in a game the Chiefs had to

556
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: have the Chargers had the game at twenty four twenty one,

557
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: and they put Hill in the slot and they caught

558
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in a in a coverage in which the

559
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: linebacker had to travel with Hill up the field and

560
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: because the safety's kind of got turned around, got two

561
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: wide on one side and one safety turned the wrong way.

562
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: It was one on one coverage on the linebacker a linebacker. Predictably,

563
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: Hill caught the ball. He would They would end up

564
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: scoring a few plays later, and they would win that

565
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: game against the Chargers, and that was the Kapper score.

566
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill needs to be doubled as much as possible. Now,

567
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 1: Bradley Rolleby has seen him before and covered him one

568
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: on one before. He's had some success. So I do

569
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: think there are times when you may have to go

570
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: one on one and Roby's got to be that guy.

571
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: But you don't want to live like that a lot.

572
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: If you've got to take Tyreek Hill completely away, do it, absolutely,

573
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: without question, do it. Take that and take him out

574
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: of this game with double coverage, bracket covered, whatever you

575
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: gotta do, do not let him have a severe impact

576
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: on this game. Let's get to our next key three

577
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: two one. One of the staples in an Andy Reid

578
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: offense screens. Screens are huge? How big are they and

579
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: how important are they? Late in the game against the

580
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: Ravens with a five point league clock winding down, needing

581
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: a first down to run out the clock, Andy Reid

582
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: called this screen third and nine mahomes thrown by Williams.

583
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: Williams always got it and then'll do it. Darry Williams

584
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: would take that and get the first down in the

585
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: game was essentially over. They liked the screens. The Texans

586
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: did an excellent job on the screen late in the

587
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: game when DJ Reader and Carlos Watkins track down Shady McCoy.

588
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: But they will use the screens in a multitude of

589
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: ways and they'll lull you to sleep. They may not

590
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: have one for a quarter or two or maybe even three,

591
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,959
Speaker 1: but in the fourth quarter they're coming to a screen.

592
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna find a way to get a drive starter

593
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: or a key play off of a screen. Be ready,

594
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: and finally, my fifth and final key on defense three

595
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 1: two one, Bring everybody to the tackling party. If not,

596
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: this will happen to you. Hurston ten, Damian Williams blocked

597
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: by and Kelson. Oh this Kim three. There he goes.

598
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: That's a foot lace param him trying to get him.

599
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: There he goes for six, galloping eighty four yards. This

600
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: is one that you just shake your head at. You

601
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: just look at it. They've got three defenders one two three,

602
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: they're all right there. They all get a piece of them,

603
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: and somehow he finds a way to twist and spin

604
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: and kick out of this and go eighty four yards

605
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. That is a great broad and terrific

606
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: effort by Damian Williams. Wow. The Chiefs average ninety eight

607
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: yards a game on the ground. It's twenty thirty NFL.

608
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: Damian Williams won eighty four against the Chargers on that

609
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: one run. Why because the Chargers didn't wrap up, they

610
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: didn't finish the tackle, and then and most importantly five

611
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: I counted him. Five Chargers stop on the play thinking

612
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: it was over, and Damien Williams kept it going. He's

613
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: not the best running back in the league, but he

614
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: runs hard and he will run through everybody that gives

615
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: him arm tackles. And he did that twice against the Chargers.

616
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: That cannot happen. All right, Let's flip it over to

617
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball for our offensive keys.

618
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Three two one to me, a key on Sunday is

619
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: balance having bounced in nearly everything that you do, and

620
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: that I think the Texans showed against the Buffalo Bills

621
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: on Saturday. On their first scoring drive, they started with

622
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: this first down Texans at the Houston twenty five yard line.

623
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: Watson calls for the ball, gets the snap handoff Duke

624
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: starting left, cutting right thirty and he's twisting down at

625
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line. It looks like he's got

626
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: enough for the first down. A ten yard run for Duke.

627
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: And then a little while later when they needed to

628
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: go to the air, they did this third down and

629
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: eight at the Buffalo thirty one of the gun. Here's

630
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: the snapp here's pressure Deshaun hit as he throws right side,

631
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: He's got a man new that's a twenty yard line

632
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: out of bounds there. It's a first down on a

633
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: text Eden and then they peeled back another layer of

634
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: the run game with DeShawn Watson. First down at the

635
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: Bills twenty split backs Watson and the gun. Deshaun calls

636
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: to the ball keeper right side Watson fifteen. Watson cutt

637
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: again side ten, the five still going down to the goal,

638
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: lide and roll touchdown. Dashawn Watson on the run balance

639
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: in the offensive attack. Balance in each category, different types

640
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: of runs, hitting all levels in the passing game keep

641
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: the chiefs guessing because of the balance that you can

642
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: bring to the offensive game. Plan on Sunday. Let's get

643
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: our next key. Oh it's the honey Badger three two one.

644
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: I have been a huge Tyran Matthew fan from the

645
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: time I saw him at Ellis you wear in a

646
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: number fourteen. He continues to make plays and he's been

647
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: making more of them for the secondary in the last

648
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: six games. He has three interceptions for the Chiefs in

649
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: the last six games, including this one in week seventeen

650
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: against Philip Rivers up the middle day, come and Dawnfield.

651
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 1: He games It's tip top time Matthew, Tyron Matthew, big

652
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: time interception. Maybe the Chiefs MVP the way he has

653
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: played this year and then we're going for Williams in

654
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: the end zone. He certainly has been a little bit

655
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: freer to make plays. So one of the things about Tyron,

656
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: because he does float into the line of scrimmas, because

657
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: he does end up back in the back with coverage,

658
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: You've got to know where he is at all times

659
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: and you have to figure out what his responsibility is.

660
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: Is he up there as a forcer, contained player against

661
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: the run. Who does he have in man coverage? How

662
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: can you take advantage of Is he going to blitz?

663
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: You've got to account for him after figuring out what

664
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: you think he's going to do. Now with no Juan Thornhill,

665
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: they may use him more in the back as a

666
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: true safety and user Monty Watson, Daniel Soordsen as blitzers.

667
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: That's fine. Tyrant is a guy that you better know

668
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: where he is, and when he's floating in the secondary,

669
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: you got to make sure that you DeShawn uses his

670
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: eyes to try and fool Matthew as much as possible.

671
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: He is really good playing center field, and that was

672
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: the case. They're in an interception against Philip Rivers nixt

673
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: key three two one. This one's pretty straightforward, in one

674
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: that I have thought about for a long time. Get

675
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: the ball into Shawn's hand and let's go back against

676
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City Atlanta. In those games earlier the year, there

677
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 1: were times where the Shawan would snap it, they would

678
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: snap it to him and he'd make the read and boom,

679
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: balls out, balls out, balls out, and they just went

680
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: runner pass. Let's go. Let's pick up our play speed,

681
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: Let's pick up our tempo. Let's turn up the volume

682
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: and don't allow Frank Clark and Terrell Sugs to get

683
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: in rhythm rushing the passer from the edge. If they're

684
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: starting to kind of get in rhythm, they're gonna get

685
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: back there and make life really, really difficult. That we

686
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: have to try and take away from them that we

687
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: can do with our tempo. How fast we are doing

688
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: everything offensively. Now, I'm not saying to be sloppy and

689
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: just go fast, go fast. I'm saying go fast with

690
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: everything that you're doing. All your actions need to be fast.

691
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: Everything needs to be quick, and maybe even your tempo too.

692
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our next key. Three two one.

693
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: Can the Chiefs cover the Texans running backs out of

694
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: the backfield? That sounds easy. It sounds easy to cover

695
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: back out of the backfield right. Well, the last time

696
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: Kansas City tried to do that, it didn't go exceptionally well,

697
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: as Duke ended up scoring on a touchdown catch and

698
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: had some big plays. His biggest may have been in

699
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: the first quarter against the New England Patriots. I'm third

700
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: and three. Watson takes the snap, the shan stepping out

701
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 1: to the right, drawing right side. He's got Johnson got

702
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: the five brook and roll touchdown. Houston Texas gravi lead

703
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: late in the first quarter, and then Saturday on third

704
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: and eighteen. Well, they found him again third of eighteen

705
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: for the Houston nineteen. Watson gets the snap, Watson in trouble.

706
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: Watson steps out to the left, throws down field and

707
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: he's got him an across the thirty five and dives

708
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: up to the thirty seven yard line close to the

709
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: first down. It looks like he's got it. It's Duke

710
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: out of the backfield God and he picks up the

711
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: first down on third and eighteen. Forced the Chiefs to

712
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: have to cover Duke Johnson and also Carlos Hide. Carlos

713
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: the heck of a past receiver too. Have those linebackers

714
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: slash safeties have to cover Duke Johnson and Carlos Hide

715
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: in the passing game. I don't think they can do it.

716
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: And if you catch him in base looks that's when

717
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: you can hit them with passes and really really hurt them.

718
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: Speaking of throwing a ball and hurting them, Let's get

719
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: our final key three two one, and that would be

720
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills. Kenny didn't play in the game against Kansas

721
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: City the first time deal with a hamstring that he

722
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: had hurt in the Carolina game. So we had missed

723
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games he worked out before the game,

724
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: thought maybe, but no, he ended up not playing in

725
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: that particular game. Hopkins and Fuller they picked up the

726
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: slack that day. Now, the last time that we were

727
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: able to see all of them on the field together,

728
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: that was against Tennessee. Now, I don't know if we're

729
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna see Will Fuller on Sunday, and I'm hoping that

730
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: we do. But when Tennessee was forced to make a

731
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: decision about who they were gonna try and take away,

732
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone, well they made the wrong choice,

733
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: decking in tennith the Tennessee twelve. Watson puts the leg down.

734
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, the shot looking fire to the end

735
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: zone and Cook Stills rock and roll, touchdown Houston. And

736
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: then a little while later he did it again. Third down.

737
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: I'm about two at a sixteen yard line of Tennessee.

738
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson of the backfield, Watson of the gun, three

739
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: receivers watch side, all right. Here's the snap to the

740
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: sean looking passing to the end zone right side. Stills again,

741
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: touchdown Houston. I would love to hear touchdown Houston Kenny

742
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: Stills on Sunday as many times as we can do it.

743
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: Would absolutely love to hear it. And I think Kenny

744
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: ends up being a huge factor. He may not catch

745
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: five six ten balls, that was the thing against Tennessee,

746
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: only cut three passes, but of those three, two were touchdowns.

747
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills is a huge key for Sunday against the

748
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. All right, we get back Mark Stepson

749
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: Studio and we talk about this massive game on Sunday

750
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs. Keep you right here for

751
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Welcome back to the second hour of

753
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,520

00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: You guys, stay safe out there, if you're traveling, if

755
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,479
Speaker 1: you're at home, whatever the case it might be. Well,

756
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep you company. And when I say we,

757
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean me John Harris, your host and the voice

758
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: of the Texans, Mark Vandomir. We catch up each and

759
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: every Friday just to kind of gauge how we're feeling

760
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: about the game this weekend. Mark, how you doing, I'm

761
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: doing great, Johnny. In fact, you talk about weather, you know,

762
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: during severe weather, this place is I would say it's

763
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: a great place to be. You know, I don't know

764
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: what's going on outside when I'm in this building, and

765
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: so being in a cave, you know, it could be

766
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: one hundred degrees, it could be thirty degrees. I have

767
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: no clue, could be raining, snowing, whatever. And other than

768
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: Hurricane Ike which affected the roof here in two thousand

769
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: and eight, remember it damaged the roof. The roof had

770
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: to be open the whole year. Yeah. Guess what the

771
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: home record was that year. It was good six and two. Yeah. Yeah,

772
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: So they went twelve and four over a two year span,

773
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: and the roof was open a bunch. But I do

774
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: agree that it is a loud or with it closed. Yeah,

775
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: And I don't blame the coaches for and they haven't

776
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: said this officially, but I wouldn't blame them about the

777
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: sun when whatever else comes in there, because when you're thinking, like, well,

778
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: we could have perfect conditions and loud or risk imperfection.

779
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: And for those who liked the roof open, I get it,

780
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: but I can't believe I turned this into a roof

781
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: open thing. But for those who are in the sun

782
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: when it's like eighty degrees or seventy five or more

783
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: you're baking. Well, do you think the roof will be

784
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: closed in Kansas City? I think the roofs gonna be

785
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: opening Kansas City. There's a good chance. Didn't they want to?

786
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: Oh they talked about a possible roof when they were

787
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: renovating Arrowhead Stadium. If there is a place that probably

788
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: could use. They have some serious weather games because they

789
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: can get some pretty spicy weather in the summer in

790
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: addition to having some interesting days like apparently this weekend

791
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: is going to be yeah, in Kansas City. So last year,

792
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: before they played the coltson Divisional round, right, they had

793
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: a huge snowstorm and actually snowed at different points during

794
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: the game. Yes, field was a quagmire. I think that

795
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: affected the Colts greatly. The cultures such an indoor team,

796
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: and that really affected them. And I think they would

797
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: have done a lot better in that game. Not to

798
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: apologize for the Colts here, but they would have done

799
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: a lot better in that game. Through Doorty's over here

800
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: watching us do this, and he's smirking, smirking Mark Vandermuir,

801
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: the Mark Vandermuir Coults apologist. Yeah, I mean that's I've

802
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 1: never been Colts apologist, it's well, I mean, we're gonna

803
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna start that. But you're right, in that game,

804
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: here's the thing everybody's talked about. All the Texans have

805
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: to start well. The Texas have to start well. Yeah,

806
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 1: the Colts didn't start well in that game either. However,

807
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: I went back and I watched that game because I

808
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: was I was curious, Wait, the Colts Kansas City game? Yeah,

809
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: the Divisional round last year, after they've beatn US. What

810
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: about the Colts Kansas City game this year. We'll get

811
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: to that in a moment. Yeah, we'll get that in

812
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: a little bit, okay, But in that they fell down.

813
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: They fell behind fourteen, nothing like bank bang right away, Like,

814
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: oh man, sound familiar. I mean that's what week, right.

815
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: But then they blocked the punt right near halftime, recovered

816
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: it for a touchdown, and all of a sudden they

817
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: were like back in that thing, right. But what the

818
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: Colts didn't do in that game was the Colts didn't

819
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: stick to what had gotten them there, and that was

820
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: running the football, right. They didn't They wanted to throw

821
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: the football there, running some play acts and zone read

822
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: you know, play acts and the bad weather, yeah, and

823
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: the bad weather. I was like, get Marlon Mack behind

824
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: those big dudes up front. They just ran whatever, and

825
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand why they didn't do that, especially in

826
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity. And then they get to the second half

827
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: and now it's twenty four seven. Now they're running the

828
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: damn football. Now they're running it, and it's like, why

829
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: weren't y'all doing that ahead of time? And that just

830
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: leads me to the fact that you're facing the Chiefs.

831
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: With the Texans, they can hurt you a lot of

832
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: different ways. Texans offense can hurt you a lot offer ways.

833
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I'm gonna asked this question a lot.

834
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't totally sure how to how to handle it.

835
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: And then DeShawn got asked this question the other day

836
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: about the what's the style of the Houston offense, Like

837
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: what's your offensive style? And he's like, well, we really

838
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: don't have one. He's like, we can run zone read

839
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 1: and kind of finesse stuff, we can run some power stuff,

840
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: we can throw it down a field, we can throw

841
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: short stuff, we can throw screens. And it just got

842
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: me thinking, like they've got a nice pull pari of offense.

843
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: That they can pull out for whatever they're going to face. Well,

844
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: what do you do this week? What do you do?

845
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: I run the football, Johnny. I did it last time,

846
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: and I think you have to find creative ways to

847
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: do it. That doesn't mean just pound it in there, first, second,

848
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: third down, but it means that you might have to.

849
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: You could come out throwing, but eventually you're gonna get

850
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: to that steady diet of hide of Johnson. I want

851
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: to mix it up with those guys. And again, there's

852
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: no tomorrow, so there's no Monday if you don't win Sunday.

853
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: So go ahead and let's run to Sean carefully, but

854
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: let's have them make some plays with his legs. And

855
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: remember you did move the ball on them last time

856
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: and you won the football game. I know they were

857
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: down seventeen to three. You can't afford to do that again.

858
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: We all get that. But the Chiefs statistically do yield

859
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: some yards on the ground. So do the Texans. Okay,

860
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: this has happened from time to time this year. I

861
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: just think it's the playoffs. Whoever obviously plays the best

862
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: for that sixteen minutes is going to move on. And

863
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: I think the best chance the Texans have is to

864
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: mix it up, but I want the ground game to

865
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: be a big part of it. I think, Johnny, if

866
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: they win on Sunday, we're sitting there on Monday, Texans

867
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: Monday eight to ten AM, Sports Radio six ten. We're

868
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and we're gonna talk about one hundred

869
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: twenty five to one hundred and fifty rushing yards for

870
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: the Texans. I don't think. I don't think they win

871
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: it without doing that. That's possible, of course, but I

872
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: think that's the formula for them in addition to a

873
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: bunch of other things. But that's the steady diet right there.

874
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: That's fun. That's your meat and potatoes. Then you can

875
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: add some of the sides, the other sides and everything else.

876
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah where does will Fuller fit as a side in

877
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: your particular offense? He's lobster mac and cheese. Lobster mac

878
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: and cheese. Now, because I could still have a great

879
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: meal without lobster mac and cheese. I really can. It's

880
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: a good point, but lobster mac and cheese kind of

881
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: takes it up to another level, doesn't it really does?

882
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: It really does? Everytime? Look, I could have meat potatoes

883
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: an excellent salad, really tasty. I'm you know, forget about

884
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: like when I say potatoes. If I'm going out to

885
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: a steak cast, I'm not having mashed potatoes. I'm gonna

886
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: order either really great fries that they might have, like

887
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: the steak fries or something like that. I don't want.

888
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: And I don't like the cheesy potatoes either, But so

889
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: I could have excellent fries. Yeah, you don't like to

890
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: like a cheese like an all rotten potato? No, no,

891
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: rotten rotten potato for Thanksgiving Christmas. Yeah, it was unbelievably good.

892
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,479
Speaker 1: She never made it before, and I was like, maybe

893
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: I've known you for how many years and you're just

894
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: now making these for me and for us. That's a

895
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: carb fest, Johnny, a fest. But I ran that day, yea.

896
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: And you better bring Carlos Hide a lot up the

897
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: middle if you're gonna have a carb fest. Yeah, and

898
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: actually that's protein. I think I think Hide's gonna play

899
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: a big role in this game. I think Duke Johnson

900
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: I said this earlier in my Keys to the Game.

901
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: I think Duke plays a really significant role, and I

902
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: think we saw that against Buffalo. The one thing that

903
00:50:54,520 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: Duke does, and Carlos exacts a punishment on a defense.

904
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: It's just because he is so physical and he is

905
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: downhill and those knees are just shopping like Roger Craig.

906
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just pistons firing. But Duke is I mean,

907
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: he's so quick and he gets on defenders so fast.

908
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: And at five nine, if I'm being generous about five

909
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: nine ten, he kind of hides behind. And I remember

910
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: the running head against Kansas. Say the first time Max

911
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 1: Sharping is pulling around, You've been around Max. Max blocks

912
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: out the doorway, right, Well, Duke just kind of stuck

913
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: behind Max. You can't see Duke, and then bang he

914
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: hits the gas and all of a sudden, he's on

915
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: those second level defenders. He's on those linebackers, and they

916
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: don't have a chance. And Duke's strong enough that if

917
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: you're just throwing an arm out there, he's running through it.

918
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: And I just think a key play that just isn't

919
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: talked as much about is that first run that Duke

920
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 1: has after JJ sack the build field goal to kickoff.

921
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: They start at the twenty five and they give it

922
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: to Duke on power play twenty five at the twenty

923
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: five and he picks up ten yards in the first down.

924
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: And it's not just like ten yards, it's how fast

925
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: he got ten yards. It was like, so he just

926
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: shot through a hole star and it was it was perfect.

927
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: And now the Chiefs are gonna have to try and

928
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: cover him. I think there are a couple things that

929
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna have to come to grips with. And

930
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: this is where I think the chief defense like, oh,

931
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Chiefs defense. I'm not going in.

932
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: I went to that last night. I think I think

933
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: the chief defense has gotten better. But to expect it's

934
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: all of a sudden be the eighty five Bears, which

935
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: is so, which is what it seems like people want

936
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: it to be. It's not. But with no wan Thornhill,

937
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: they've got a decision to make because they can play

938
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: with Sorenson and Matthew at safety and then put another

939
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: linebacker on the field expecting us to run. Well, if

940
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in a base defense, even if you

941
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 1: know if Fuller plays or whoever plays, if you're gonna

942
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: check into something, you check in. You check into a

943
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: pass play because now all of a sudden, you got

944
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: Sorenson out. Why trying to cover one of these wide receivers.

945
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll take that all day, every day. Well, then all

946
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 1: sudden you're like, okay, we need to take the linebacker

947
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: out because they're gonna abuse that. So let's put our

948
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: money Watts at safety and Sorenson at the other linebacker.

949
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and do that. Well, here comes the

950
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: run game. We're coming downhill at you. You got a

951
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: safety at that other linebacker spot. So that's where the

952
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs that got a decision to make. Are you gonna

953
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: live and die by nickel? Well, if you are, we're

954
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna we should pound you now. If they're stopping it.

955
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: If they're in nickel with Sorenson at that nickel linebacker

956
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: spot and our money Watson the game at the other

957
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: safety spot and they're stopping that, then we're gonna have

958
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: a long day. But I don't anticipate that that happening.

959
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: The Bills did that for a while. They stayed in

960
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: nickel for a good decent part of the game, and

961
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: in staying in nickel, they slowed us down early. But

962
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: then all of sudden, run game got going, and then

963
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, what are you gonna do you're

964
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna bring in your base and we'll throw it. And

965
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 1: I think it. I don't want to say it's that simple,

966
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: but it can be. Personnel wise. How can we hurt you?

967
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: You can start dealing. That's where you need to start dealing. Absolutely.

968
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: So the other thing that's out to me, and I

969
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: always I want to say that this doesn't have anything

970
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: to do with anything. It's the history of the Chiefs

971
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: and the history of Andy Reid and difficulty that the

972
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs have had advancing in the postseason because last year

973
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: was their first home playoff win since Mathuselah. You've had that,

974
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: So what is the deal here with that kind of thing.

975
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't really think that has much to do with anything.

976
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: And I want to believe that because for the Texans,

977
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: they will be going on the road for the divisional

978
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: round and they've done it three times before and they

979
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 1: haven't been able to advance. So I want to say

980
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: that history can be bucked, right, you can change the trend,

981
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: change what's happened in the past, because what do these

982
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 1: guys have to do with even twenty sixteen, but especially

983
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: twenty twelve and twenty eleven. I mean, my gosh, I

984
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: mean you have JJ Watt right from those teams, you

985
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: have Jonathan Joseph. You have some weeks connection here. Yeah,

986
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless was on the twenty twelve team, and yeah

987
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: weeks of course, But really, really is that a franchise thing?

988
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: Is that? You know, like the Red Sox hadn't won

989
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: a World Series since nineteen eighteen. No, that was Johnny

990
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: Damon's fault, right, And you know, obviously baseball, especially around

991
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: pre free agency, had a lot of longevity with these

992
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: players on one single club. But my point is this

993
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with anything. I don't know.

994
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: But with Andy Reid, he's a really good coach. And

995
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: you know what I love about him. He played for

996
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,959
Speaker 1: Lavelle Edwards at BYU, and if you talk to people

997
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: at b YU, Lavelle Edwards invented football practically, I mean

998
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: not quite, but West Coast offense and all these innovations

999
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: in the game and everything he's meant. And I love

1000
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: that he comes from that lineage. But I don't like

1001
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: it this weekend and I'd like to see the Chiefs

1002
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: go home for summer vacation. Thank you, I would too.

1003
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: Here's the nugget that I thought about earlier, and I

1004
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: actually asked you about this yesterday off the air. We

1005
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: were talking about this in eleven twelve. In sixteen, we

1006
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,879
Speaker 1: played each of the division round like when we got

1007
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: the division round, the same result in season and in

1008
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: the playoff game. Lost at Baltimore in regular season, lost

1009
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: at Baltimore Division round twenty twelve, lost at New England

1010
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 1: regular season, lost at New England Division around twenty sixteen,

1011
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: lost at New England regular season, lost at New England

1012
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 1: Division around twenty nineteen, one at Kansas City. Here you go.

1013
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: And there's also symmetry too because going on all you

1014
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: got that, and then also in twenty eleven when you

1015
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: beat Cincinnati, you turn around and beat Cincinnati again in

1016
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So there's a lot of symmetry that goes on. Yeah,

1017
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: in the Texans postseason, Yes, in the Texans postseason very much.

1018
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: So now I can't remember did we faced the Bengals

1019
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, so that so that that's out now.

1020
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: The Raiders was different. That was the only one that

1021
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: was different in twenty sixteen because he lost in Mexico City.

1022
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: But you turn around and beat them in the playoff game.

1023
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: But the division round. Okay, the divisional round holds. Division

1024
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: round hold and it blew it with the Raiders though

1025
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 1: I just thought about it. But that said, the road

1026
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: all eight games sixteen twenty nineteen, all those are regular

1027
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: season games on the road, and they're all road division

1028
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: around playoff games. Yep, at some point, you gotta play

1029
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: this game here, I mean, I think, and that's what

1030
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: Kubiak and company said after they lost both of those games,

1031
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: which is you have to find a way to play

1032
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: it at home. Yeah, you got to play this weekend

1033
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: at home if you possibly can. And that's something that's

1034
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: out there for this team. That's a goal to achieve

1035
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: next year, to be able to play in this round.

1036
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: You skip around and then you get to play this

1037
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: weekend at home with a full plate of rest, and

1038
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: then you go from there, because obviously it's difficult you've

1039
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: just played last week. I think the good thing that

1040
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: the Texas is they played Saturday. They get that extra

1041
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: day of rest. That's a good thing. Huge. Maybe they

1042
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: get fuller back, you know, maybe they get whatever they get.

1043
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: So let's just see how it plays out. I just

1044
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: think that too many people we talked about the Vegas

1045
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: line and some of the national scribes and everything in

1046
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: hell they're saying, well, come on, I just don't see

1047
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: I see it as a close game. I see it

1048
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: as a fourth quarter game once again, and for this team,

1049
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to find a way to make

1050
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: plays and get over the hump in that final frame. Yeah,

1051
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: and they've been a second half team obviously. Last week

1052
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: they proved that they've been a second half team all year.

1053
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: They've been a fourth quarter team all year. So if

1054
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: this thing is close in a halftime, if you're Andy Reid,

1055
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,439
Speaker 1: you gotta be thinking, oh, boys, that's not gonna be great.

1056
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: And all of a a sudden they start getting I felt

1057
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: like in the fourth quarter of the game in Week six,

1058
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this high flute and offense throwing

1059
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: the ball down a field and do all these different things.

1060
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, on second and fourteen

1061
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: they handed the shady McCoy. Yeah, what's WHOA wait a

1062
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: second what I liked that play? I loved it. Yeah,

1063
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: I'd loved it. I was playing right into our strengths.

1064
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: What do you think the weather has anything to do

1065
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: with I think special teams maybe. And we talked about

1066
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: that with Coacho Bryant, and I think it affects that because, look,

1067
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want to kick off to Hardman anyway,

1068
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: but now I might have to. If the wind's coming

1069
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: from that direction. The wind's gonna gust up to seventeen

1070
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: twenty miles per hour. That's significant. You know, you might

1071
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: not be able to bang a kick out of the

1072
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: back of the end zone in one direction, so you

1073
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: might have to kick off to him. So be ready.

1074
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: Those players are going to be significant in this game. Yeah,

1075
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: and kans City's always say good. Special teams in the

1076
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: Texas cover units have been absolutely phenomenous year and hopefully

1077
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: they'll stay that way. Mark appreciate it. Thanks Johnny. There

1078
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: it is Mark VanderMeer joining me on the show. Coming up,

1079
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: there are three other playoff games this weekend. How do

1080
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: I see them? Straight up? It against the spread. We'll

1081
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: talk about that next Right here in Texas Axis, It's

1082
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: time to go behind enemy sidelines with our good friend

1083
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: dep SIU, who caught up with Josh Briscoe Sports Radio

Speaker 1: eight ten in Kansas City and also of the Athletic

1085

Speaker 1: dep four George Joshua. We spoke in week six. Welcome back.

1086
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: How's it going at this point? It's going great, And

1087
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pencil in and I'm gonna talk to

1088
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: you twice the year for the rest of the time.

1089
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: That sounds great, It's funny. Should be very relaxed coming

1090
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: off the bye. I think that without having a game

1091
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: last week, what did you guys talk about a week

1092
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: on the radio? Oh, just nothing at all. We looked

1093
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: ahead to baseball specifically. No, No, it's been it's been

1094
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: wild and especially with everything partially thanks to you guys

1095
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: that happened over the weekend. Uh, just so much good

1096
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: football this weekend and then looking aheads for the Chiefs.

1097
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: The bye week came at a very good time. I

1098
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: mean it always does. Like to get that first round

1099
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: by was was huge. And it also comes with the

1100
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: Patriots falling on their face and then they lose the

1101
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: home twice in a row to two quarterbacks named Ryan.

1102
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: That was apparently the secrets the whole time. I have

1103
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback playing in fox front him Ryan. That was

1104
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: that was the secret thought. So we've had We've had

1105
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: plenty to talk about all year long, obviously, and this

1106
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: is this is finally kind of everything getting very very real.

1107
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: And it happened against the Texas Fields. Right. Well, I

1108
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: think that Week seventeen mood probably was the best in

1109
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City with the way the end of the season

1110
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: shook out, the Chiefs beating the Chargers at home, and

1111
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: then of course the Patriots losing the Dolphins, and then

1112
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City earning a first round pie, which maybe they

1113
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: weren't expecting. But has the mood of the city settled

1114
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: down a little bit in the last few weeks. How

1115
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: did Andy Reid handle the bye week with the players? Well, yeah,

1116
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: the mood was incredible, but I also do things, and

1117
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: it certainly w wasn't expected because you needed Brandon Patrick

1118
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: to a winning fox bro But um, yeah, no, I

1119
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: think that that the bye week might be might be

1120
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: more impactful for an Andy Reid team than just about

1121
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: anybody else. He's been so exceptional coming off of buys

1122
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: the entire career, and he's struggled on shorter weeks more

1123
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: than he usually does. You know, it struggled as probably

1124
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: a strong word, but I think I think it's really

1125
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: really important, and I imagine that he spent this this

1126
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: week doing a lot of looking ahead to the three

1127
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: potential opponents that they had last week. It was it

1128
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: was pretty light work out at Arrowhead. We didn't even

1129
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: have you know, full practices of media availability and all

1130
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: of that last week. Now, obviously it's kicked back in

1131
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: the year, but I imagine that Andy Reid spent that

1132
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: with a lot of time looking forward and a lot

1133
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: of guys trying to get healthy and just fully rest

1134
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: out before this matchup. All right, Andy Reid, He's coached

1135
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: this team to four straight AFC West Titles playoffs in

1136
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: six of the last seven seasons. But what do you

1137
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: think makes this twenty nineteen team in season so different

1138
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: from all the others? I mean, I think I think

1139
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: it's too full. The one that I actually think is

1140
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: less important is the rest of the AFC. I mean, like,

1141
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: this is the first time in a thousand years, other

1142
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: than the Joe Flacco year, that doesn't have Manning, Roethlisberger

1143
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: or Brady in the AFC Championship game. And we know

1144
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: that after one week of football is like that play football.

1145
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: That's crazy. And so the changing of the guards there,

1146
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: I think it's just honestly fascinating. But the biggest thing

1147
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: this year is that the defense is actually good. The

1148
01:02:56,040 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: texting gave the Chiefs one of their toughest early season matchups,

1149
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: but ever ever since then and really throughout this season

1150
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: as a whole, because defense has been steadily improving. They

1151
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: brought in se Spagnolo as a defensive coordinated this offseason

1152
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: after hiring Bob Sutton, and Spagnolo has been excellent. The

1153
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: diversity and what he has done with this defense and

1154
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: the way that has changed and the way he has

1155
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: tinkered and evolved differything has been just top shelf. And

1156
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: they also brought in a lot of different personnel defensively

1157
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: last off season from here. The biggest thing though, by

1158
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,479
Speaker 1: the way, defensively from the last Texans game, the Chiefs

1159
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: didn't have Chris Jones. They didn't have Anthony Hitchens. Hitchens

1160
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: is less of a play by play impact guy than

1161
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: Chris joneses, but but he's the linebacker, the test every

1162
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: everything up there. Obviously, Tyrann Matthew this offseason hugely, hugely important.

1163
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Not to rub anything in, but like I really appreciate

1164
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Houston not being able to lock him up because he

1165
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: has been enormous for the Chiefs this year. So the

1166
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: defensive overhaula has to be the first thing because it's

1167
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: the most different. It's been not just not bad, it's

1168
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: been really good. Yeah. I'll get to Tyron Matthew in

1169
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: a bit, and I we do miss him around here

1170
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: and seeing what he's been able to do in Kansas City,

1171
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: it's really outstanding. You mentioned something that Bill Brian actually

1172
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: talked about in his press conference this week that this

1173
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City team is actually very different than the one

1174
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: the Texans played in Week six. It's changed so much,

1175
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: and I think one of the factors. Also, Patrick Mahomes

1176
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent healthy the first time the Texans

1177
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: played him. So he finishes the twenty seventeen twenty nineteen

1178
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: season first in the AFC in passing yards, second in

1179
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: the AFC and points per game. When did he sort

1180
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: of get over that hump in the middle of the season.

1181
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: What was the catalyst his turn on Was it just

1182
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: overcoming the injury? Was it? Or was it something else?

1183
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: Wells the week after the Texans game, they go to

1184
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Denver and he has that need cabinist location of just

1185
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: unbelievably horrifying. So that happens. He misses a few games

1186
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: as far as the ankle injury goes. The ankle injury

1187
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: seems to have cleared up while he was out with

1188
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: the knee injury on the other leg, and then he

1189
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: comes back from that place pretty well. They play in Mexico,

1190
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: they get the bye week and all that. So I

1191
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: never there was never a moment for me, at least

1192
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: where I was like, oh, Patrick Mahomes might be regressing

1193
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: here and he might be getting worse. That's never been

1194
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: the case. But he got hurt in Week one with

1195
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: the ankle, got rolled up on against the Jags. Since

1196
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: then it really was a matter of how healthy is he.

1197
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: He had the hand injury pop up a couple of

1198
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: weeks back, so really it truly has just been him

1199
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: getting fully healthy and being able to look like Patrick

1200
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes again. And even as the offense has been a

1201
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: little bit different than it was in the you know,

1202
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: complete like armageddon mode that it was last year, he

1203
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: has still been excellent. He's healthy now, another reason. The

1204
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: bye week is just always the best in this spot.

1205
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: So it's all good news for Patrick Mahomes at this point.

1206
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I know, towards the end of the season, the Chiefs

1207
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: they claim pass rusher trill sugs off waivers, which seemed

1208
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: like it worked out really really well for the Cheese.

1209
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: How quickly was he able to fit in that system?

1210
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: And how has his edition helped the defense? He stepped

1211
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: in pretty quickly, Like that first week, he got a

1212
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: good amount of snaps. He's he's helped in a big way. Um.

1213
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: But probably the most important part of that is gonna

1214
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: involve some names that a lot of people nationally aren't

1215
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: super familiar with. Um. Emmanuel Ogba, the former Brown's defensive end,

1216
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: was playing really well. He tore his pack and was

1217
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: out for the year. Then a few weeks later, Alex

1218
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 1: okafor former Saints defensive end brought in this offseason as well,

1219
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: tore his pack and was out for the year. Um So,

1220
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: the the defensive end spot was getting was getting center

1221
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: and center and center. They beaks back in the preseason.

1222
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Um so, so they were down three like starting or

1223
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: at least highly rotational defensive ends. And so whenever Sugs

1224
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 1: became available, um it was. It was a surprise for

1225
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: me whenever they claimed him. But immediately after they did that, well,

1226
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: that shouldn't have been a surprise. He's a positional fit.

1227
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: He's here on a team that has very real Super

1228
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: Bowl aspirations, and and he's stepped in and everybody in

1229
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: the locker room has mint respect form. Frank Clark wears

1230
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: number fifty five four Terrell Sugs but because of Terrell Suggs.

1231
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: So it seems like on every level it was sort

1232
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: of a no brainer. That also nobody was really expecting

1233
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: around here, all right. Travis Kelsey, the Texans remember him

1234
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: well from the last few times I've had to play him.

1235
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: He finished with his fourth straight one thousand yards season.

1236
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: He actually finished with more receiving yards than DeAndre Hopkins.

1237
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: How impressed are you with what he's able to do

1238
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: still this many years in the league, and especially as

1239
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: a tight end, He's an alien like seriously, I mean

1240
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: what he does at that position is I mean, there

1241
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: are a handful of guys you can point to now

1242
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: in the league, but it is such a rare talent

1243
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: and it's such a matchup problem because everything that any

1244
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: defense can try to do, if you if you give

1245
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: any one guy the Travis Kelsey responsibility, he is going

1246
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: to fail a high percentage of the time, and so

1247
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: you have to pay more attention to him. The Patriots,

1248
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 1: especially the last couple of years, were famous or one

1249
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: of the assistant coaches that said that if they could

1250
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: put Kelsey out wide and they would have a defensive

1251
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,680
Speaker 1: ends follow him out there just to chip him at

1252
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 1: the line up on the sideline like they were going

1253
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 1: to rattle him around. And teams have done a ton

1254
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: of that to Kelsey, and he's still super productive. But

1255
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: whenever you pay all that attention to him, somebody else

1256
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: opens up. And the Chiefs is have too many weapons

1257
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: for any one guy to get all of the attention.

1258
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 1: And Kelsey demands as much as that of anybody. Yeah,

1259
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: and obviously Tyreek Hill he cut the two touchdown passes

1260
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: in Week six against the Texans. What about him? How

1261
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: much does his presence change how that Chief's offense is run?

1262
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: You there's a chunk of the last of the Travis

1263
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: Kelsey answer. I just gave it. You could copy and

1264
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: paste for Hill. But obviously the way he does it

1265
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: is specifically very different. Um, he is. I don't want

1266
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: to like just be hyperbolic, but I really think that

1267
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: he is one of the most difficult assignments in football

1268
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: because it's such crazy speed paired with his route running

1269
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: consistently improving over the years. And uh and he's actually

1270
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: like weirdly good for kind of a short receiver at

1271
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 1: high pointing a ball and being able to make a

1272
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: contested catch like he is. He is the full package,

1273
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: all number one receiver. And then again you you just

1274
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: pair him off with all of the issues with Travis

1275
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: Kelsey or now the slow but steady I guess reveal

1276
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: of Micole Hartman. Just insanely, insanely fast and insanely talented,

1277
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: stiffer from the edge. He's a rookie, but with all

1278
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: of those weapons all working together, each of those guys

1279
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 1: individually is a huge pain for a defense, but all

1280
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: of them together it is. I mean, it's completely overwhelming.

1281
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: And so if you're gonna do any any amount of

1282
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: sort of critiquing to get offense, you could look and

1283
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: actually make the argument that over the last few weeks

1284
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: they could have been even more productive with this whole group.

1285
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: They have also won these last several games by a

1286
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: pretty good margin and put up a decent number of points.

1287
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: So again, not quite the death star that it was

1288
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: last year, but all the talent still being there, I

1289
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: expected to continue being very high firepower drops playoffs. All right,

1290
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: let's get back to Tyron Matthew. He was named AP

1291
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,719
Speaker 1: first team All Pros defensive back and the second team.

1292
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: He had a second team not as a safety. Obviously,

1293
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: the Texans are very familiar with Matthew. He was a

1294
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: team captain here even in his one season with the Texans.

1295
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: But how big a role is he playing out there

1296
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: in Casey on that defense. Back on Monday, I was

1297
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,480
Speaker 1: I was talking in a handful of the other reporters

1298
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: in the end the Chiefs media room, and I was

1299
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: joking about, how you know, every every two weeks, somebody

1300
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: writes a big article about how impactful Tyron Matthew was

1301
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: to step in and pull the whole defense together, not

1302
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 1: just on the field, but also off the field. And

1303
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of a joke, but it's also true and

1304
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: it's also been justified. Like I think he's been the

1305
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 1: most important player on this defense this year, and I

1306
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: don't know how close it is. He's been exceptional in

1307
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 1: that role. He's a thief. Vernola must just love him

1308
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: because of all the things he can do, not just

1309
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: as like a stop gap or anything, but the things

1310
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 1: that he can do whenever he's essentially weaponized, like, hey,

1311
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: Tyron will figure out everything that's going on around You

1312
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: help us make sure we're in the right spot, and

1313
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: then you do whatever you whatever, whatever creates the biggest

1314
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: problem for the offense. On a play by play basis,

1315
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: he's all over the field and it seems like he's

1316
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 1: just about always in the right spot. So that's been huge.

1317
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 1: The other thing, and actually I don't he may have

1318
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: done this in Houston, but this is very inside media.

1319
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 1: But whenever, whenever Matthew or whatever, the Chiefs have their

1320
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 1: coordinators talk midweek very frequently, they will also have Tyron

1321
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Matthew come out out to the podium and address the

1322
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: media like only Patrick Mahomes does. As far as as quarterbacks,

1323
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: it's coaches and Mahomes and then something every other week

1324
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 1: or so. With Tyron Matthew, he's literally become a voice

1325
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 1: for this defense, not just privately but also publicly. And

1326
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: I think Beck just goes to show how much faith

1327
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: the organization has in him, how much he returns back

1328
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: to the team, and and how unbelievably impactfully he has

1329
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: been on the defense this year. Tremendous stuff there from

1330
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 1: DP and Joshua Brisco, Sports Radio eight ten and The

1331
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: Athletic in Kansas City, we get back, it's not for

1332
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: our players segment. We're gonna hear Drew Doherty's final word

1333
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: and all something to get you hype for Sunday. We'll

1334
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 1: do all that next on Texans All Access. We have

1335
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: one final segment the Texans All Access on this Friday evening.

1336
01:12:56,320 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully you all are safe dry. We're thinking about at

1337
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: you guys, those those Texans to the north of us,

1338
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: that it looks like the weather was supposed to be really,

1339
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: really bad. Hopefully you guys are hanging in there and

1340
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: be safe, be careful, and we're thinking about you, no

1341
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: doubt about that. All right, We are getting into the

1342
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: home stretch. As we get into the home stretch, we

1343
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: got the Kansas City Chiefs on the horizon. We will

1344
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: take off tomorrow for Kansas City and be ready for

1345
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 1: the game two oh five Sunday from Arrowhead Stadium. Now,

1346
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 1: typically in this segment on a Friday, it's a players segment.

1347
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: We got a number of different things that we like

1348
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: to do. Now once we got into the playoffs, you

1349
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: know we don't have Player Reporter. Brought to you by

1350
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Artick Deficial Coolers and Tumblers of the Houston Texans vis

1351
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: RTSSE Coolers dot com Arctic Coolers overbuilt, not overpriced. So

1352
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: we don't get a chance to kind of dive in

1353
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: to some of those things that we like to do

1354
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: with our players, that our players like to do, like

1355
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, b start TV, those kind of things. But

1356
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 1: we did have a final word this week with Drew Doherty,

1357
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: and this week it is all the important safety. Justin Reid,

1358
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: this is the first time you played in a second

1359
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: playoff game in a season. Let's rewind a bit. What

1360
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 1: was last week like after having been through a playoff

1361
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 1: experience your rookie season, shoot, after digging ourselves out of

1362
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 1: that hole in the first half and coming out in

1363
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: the second half, and we finally got that spark going

1364
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 1: and things just started to click when we got a

1365
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a role feeling, was just amazing, especially

1366
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 1: when the crowd started getting into it more. There's one

1367
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: point at the end of the fourth quarter, I think

1368
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: that might have been the loudest I've ever heard in

1369
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: our g stadium B game, you know, So it was

1370
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 1: just it was really cool experience, very special. But I'm

1371
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: looking forward to the game this weekend because there'll be

1372
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: even more special be able to take this organization to

1373
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: where it's never been before, being in the AFC Championship

1374
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 1: and beyond. And how much do you think you learned

1375
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: from that first playoff game that you played when you

1376
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 1: were a rookie, because it wasn't just your first playoff game,

1377
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 1: it was Deshaun Watsons and a bunch of other guys too. Yeah,

1378
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: it's just I think what we learned from that lesson

1379
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: was just about how you come out fast, and that

1380
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: was the same thing last week. We want to be

1381
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: able to just come out a little bit faster to

1382
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: play a full sixty minute game. We're able to dig

1383
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: ourselves out last week, but this week we want to

1384
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: start to finish live up to our potential. Because we

1385
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: have all the talent in the world, we just want

1386
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: to be able to use it the right way and

1387
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: be able to play that full game. Yeah, it's a

1388
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: good point you make, because while you guys came back

1389
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: from so much and we're able to do so much

1390
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. I don't think anyone was surprised by

1391
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: it because they know that they've seen you guys do

1392
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: these things before. But with all that in mind, did

1393
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 1: you learn anything about your teammates about this squad. Yeah,

1394
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same of what I've just seen

1395
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: early in the year, because this isn't the first time

1396
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: coming back. It's like this team has grit, it has fight.

1397
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: The guys here we're all committed to winning here an organization,

1398
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: and we saw guys step up make plays, do block

1399
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 1: two people on a run play for the two point conversion.

1400
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 1: So we know we have guys that we can rely

1401
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: on to make plays. We just need to continue to

1402
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: be consistent about it. What's that like when you've got

1403
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: guys on the other side of the ball doing stuff

1404
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: like that Because everyone knows about the Shawn's you're pointing

1405
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: out a little bit more obscure great feet, Taiwan Jones,

1406
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: somebody who on special teams with you has done great

1407
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: things all season long. Guys all across the board stepped

1408
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,759
Speaker 1: up and did those those little miraculous jobs, didn't they. Well, Yeah,

1409
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: the game of football in the league is, you know,

1410
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,879
Speaker 1: it's really about momentum and when you able to see

1411
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: the offensive guys do the thing that feeds into the

1412
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: defense when whatever you're going on in the streets. I okay,

1413
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: our offense just did that we gotta lock up, we

1414
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:25,640
Speaker 1: gotta shove, we gotta get it three, and now we

1415
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: gotta get a turnover. And it's the same thing for

1416
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: us when offense watches us go out, we're balling down

1417
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: and having fun on the field. That energy feeds into them,

1418
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 1: and again with special teams, that feeds into both offense

1419
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: and defense. So whenever you're able to have that sparkling,

1420
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: guys make some plays, and it really it's like a

1421
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 1: snowball effect, like a domino effect, where that will feed

1422
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: into other guys, juicing them up, and then the whole

1423
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: team will start making plays. All right, let's talk about

1424
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: the task at hand. Patrick Mahomes, you know all about him.

1425
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: You saw him one time already. Is there anything different

1426
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: about him October versus January? Though? I still think he's

1427
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: a very special player. Obviously they're going to do some

1428
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: things differently from the first game, just like we're going

1429
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: to do some things differently. But for the most part,

1430
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 1: I think he's still the same special guy. Can get

1431
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, very mobile, can make all the throws,

1432
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: sometimes with throwing a little bit of trickery, whether he

1433
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 1: wants to look at a receiver or not. Who he's

1434
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: throwing too, but a very special talent. How tough is that?

1435
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: What you just mentioned When a guy's looking at one

1436
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: spot and throwing it to another, that's all about eye control.

1437
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 1: You just really want to be on your man, not

1438
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: fall asleep and I let him low asleep just because

1439
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily looking my way that I'm gonna relax

1440
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: and let this receiver get in the space. You just

1441
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: really have to be tiling your guy the whole time

1442
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: and use that to your advantage, because if he's doing that,

1443
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: that might throw off it's actually a little bit you

1444
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: might be able to cause a turn over browth of it.

1445
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: You use the word special describing him, I think that's

1446
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: entirely appropriate. I think it's also appropriate to apply that

1447
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: to Travis Kelsey, Tyreek Hill. He's got some weapons, does

1448
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: mahomes at his disposal, don'ty? Yeah? Kansas City offense has

1449
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 1: a lot of firepower to it, the same way that

1450
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: offense has a lot of firepower to it. So I

1451
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 1: think that's gonna make a special battle and to see

1452
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: which defense is going to really step up to the challenge. Hey,

1453
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 1: back at the back end with you, there's been some

1454
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: injuries and we saw Mike Adams coming to the game.

1455
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 1: What's that been like playing alongside who you knew a

1456
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: little bit about because of his history with your brother

1457
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 1: in Carolina. What's it been like having him in the lineup?

1458
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: Because he basically played as many snaps in the playoff

1459
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: game as he'd done all season long combined. Yeah, I mean,

1460
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: it doesn't take him a guy like that many snaps

1461
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: at just though he's already been in the league sixteen years.

1462
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 1: That was a nice part about it. He's already played

1463
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: a lot of balls, a lot of knowledge under his belt,

1464
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: so it's not like there's that same adjustment period whenever

1465
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: he needed to come on the field. He's already played

1466
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: all the coverages that we've played throughout his history. So

1467
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: I think it just a will came in made that

1468
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 1: big TfL right when he got on the field. The

1469
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: guy can still come in and make plays for us,

1470
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: is what we need. What about the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium? Now,

1471
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned how loud it was here at Energy Stadium,

1472
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: and for the record, I'm with you. I've never heard

1473
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: the stadium louder. I've worked here for eleven seasons. I

1474
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: think it only compares with what the Texans and what

1475
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 1: you guys went through in the super Dome in Week

1476
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 1: one as far as decibel level, But what is it

1477
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: like at Arrowhead when you played there? Arrowhead is also

1478
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 1: very electric. It was very loud the first time that

1479
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: we went. But I'm sure being a playoff officer now

1480
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 1: that it's going to be even more electric. And really

1481
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward because I love stadiums like that, just

1482
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 1: like I love when we play here, but I love

1483
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: the electric atmosphere really just makes the game more special. Yeah,

1484
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 1: I just ask you a question about stadium noise and

1485
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: you're probably not even going to experience it because you'll

1486
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: be on the field when it's quiet. So let's put

1487
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: an a dendom on that. What does that mean? To

1488
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: talk with JJ Water about this? He said, it's kind

1489
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: of fun when you're sitting on the sidelines and the

1490
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: offenses on the field and you can see the gatorade

1491
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: cups vibrating. So what's the deal with that? Yeah, I

1492
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 1: mean when we're in New Orleans, like I would have

1493
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: a conversation from as far as when I'm sitting for

1494
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: me to you, and I couldn't hear to do that.

1495
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 1: I was talking to you know what I mean, you

1496
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: have to lead in close. So it's just a special

1497
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: experience because he's not very often you get to be

1498
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: in the atmospheres like that. I mean, when we're on

1499
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: the field last week in our own stadium, we got

1500
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of hand signals and stuff. That's what we

1501
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: use a communicating You're so locked in the game, you

1502
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: don't think about it, but when you're on the sideline

1503
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: you'll get a chance to actually kind of enjoy it

1504
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 1: and take in the atmosphere and kind of look around

1505
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: you and just have an appreciation just for the environment

1506
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: and the game you're playing and for where you're at.

1507
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: Justin Reid, appreciate the time, Bessel, luck Sunday and beyond problem.

1508
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: Thank you guys. Can't wait to see what Jay Reid

1509
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 1: does on Sunday. You're talking to him after the game.

1510
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:06,839
Speaker 1: The first time at Arrowhead, he was so frustrated because

1511
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: he felt like he had two, maybe even three interceptions,

1512
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: and he was wearing a brace on his shoulder and

1513
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: he just felt like man the ball to Tyreek Hill

1514
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: early on in the game. He said that would have

1515
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: been an interception, but Tyreek was able to jump up

1516
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: over him because he couldn't really reach up with that harness.

1517
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 1: And then later in the game he actually picked off

1518
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:29,879
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on the sideline, but he just missed getting

1519
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: the second foot down. I actually thought he had gotten

1520
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:35,479
Speaker 1: it in, and then when I saw it on replay,

1521
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I think he got it in,

1522
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 1: but they ended up not reviewing it. Coach did not

1523
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: throw the challenge flag. But Justin Reid was a instrumental

1524
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: figure in that game against the Kansas City Chiefs the

1525
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: first time. Now he becomes even more important because of

1526
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:56,639
Speaker 1: what we spoke about earlier about the safety situation with

1527
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 1: t Sean Gibson having already gone to IR so you

1528
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: know he's not going to be available for this game

1529
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: and for the rest of the playoffs. Julil a Die

1530
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: unfortunately went down with an injury in that game against

1531
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Kind of got rolled up. I think

1532
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: it was in the first half, maybe in the second,

1533
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: can't remember, but I know you got rolled up and

1534
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: he is questionable with a knee. Now in that game,

1535
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: Mike Adams came in at safety and did a really

1536
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: nice job. But I much rather have as many of

1537
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: those pieces at safety back in the lineup that you

1538
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: can go to Adams and to die and Read and

1539
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: A J. Moore and you've got everybody ready to go

1540
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 1: as opposed to man. We gotta roll with Read Adams

1541
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: and then AJ something happens and keep our fingers crossed

1542
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: that's something doesn't happen. But we'll see about Julil. But

1543
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 1: he did not come in come back in that game

1544
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,879
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, and hopefully he's ready to go because we

1545
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: definitely miss him. But Mike Adams's gotta go at safety.

1546
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 1: Live with it, but Justin becomes a very key figure

1547
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: in the back with the injuries that they've had at

1548
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: that particular position. Okay, let's get to something that I

1549
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: saw this the first week we did this against the

1550
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And when I say we, I mean our

1551
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 1: broadcast digital department. My man Tyler Suttarth came up with

1552
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: this idea to do a hype video and he does

1553
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: a good majority of them, but he wanted to come

1554
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: up with something special for the playoffs and so he

1555
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,719
Speaker 1: with some helpless some others, enlisted the help of Simone Biles,

1556
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: A Chemila, Juan Jose al Tobe and they put together

1557
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 1: an unbelievable hype video. I mean unbelievable. I saw that

1558
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: thing and when jose A two pops on the screen

1559
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: and then they show you know, Sudge cuts to his

1560
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 1: game winning home run against the Yankees that sent the

1561
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: Astroston the World Series. I'm like lump in my throat.

1562
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So we wanted to keep that vision alive,

1563
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: if you will, and so we went back to it

1564
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: this week. Now, we didn't have Simone or Dream or

1565
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: jose Altuvee, but we didn't go and find a couple

1566
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: other Hall of Famers in the form of Clyde Drexler

1567
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: and Craig Visio. Take a listen to this. This will

1568
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: get your hype for Sunday. We told you we were driven,

1569
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: we told you we were inspired. How Greig do you

1570
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: want to And then we showed you exactly what we

1571
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: meant to Sun Watson Magical Taiwan Shows. We were third

1572
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:54,560
Speaker 1: and eighteen, but we are resilient. It's gonna make the

1573
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: most of it. We were down, but we are not out.

1574
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: We are in this together and we we're not done.

1575
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: Come at it again. Dude, playing to the Andre Hopkins

1576
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 1: no Texans type, the Lady Texas afected. Now I understand radio.

1577
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 1: I know you can't see it, but there was enough

1578
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 1: great audio there that you can get a feel for you.

1579
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, get to our Twitter page,

1580
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: get to Houston text dot com, and go find that

1581
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: hype video. It will have you so jo. I'm telling

1582
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: you watch that thing at two o'clock, you know, five

1583
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: minutes before the game starts, and you will be bouncing

1584
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: off the walls. I've got to be careful because if

1585
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm bouncing off the walls before the game, I mean,

1586
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: it's it's not good. I can't complete a coherent thought.

1587
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 1: I've got to make sure I got it under control.

1588
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,799
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you that thing will have you hype

1589
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: for days hours. Man, I cannot wait. Sunday two five.

1590
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium one of the more difficult places to win

1591
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 1: a game. Andy Reid is tremendous off of bye week.

1592
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: They won a division around last year, beating an AFC

1593
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: South opponent that was Indianapolis Colts. It's a whole different animal.

1594
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: Could be snow on the ground, it could be cold.

1595
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: There could be a lot of things in this game

1596
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: that make it difficult to go get a w But

1597
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: after last week and playing the Buffalo Bills. Let's go

1598
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: do this. Nine and a half point underdog. Nobody thinks

1599
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 1: you're gonna win. Eighty five percent the country's like signing

1600
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: up for the Chiefs. I'm all about feeding the entire

1601
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: country a big old bleatburger. If you're with me, let's

1602
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,599
Speaker 1: go get this w against the Chiefs and then get

1603
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: ready for the first ever Texans AMC Championship game. Let's

1604
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: go make that happen. Thank you so much to everybody

1605
