1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday, as the

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Texans get ready for their Salute to Service game against

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Washington the Commanders, and I'm dpcito along with Mark Vandermer

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: and Drew Doherty. Washington fat and happy, as Mark VanderMeer

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: likes to see his opponents happy. They're so fat at

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: lots of Garfield emoji's coming from my phone to Mark

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: and Drew and Johnny last night. Because they've beaten the unbeaten.

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles are now no longer undefeated. They're not fat

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: and happy, they're obese and ecstatic. Man, there's fat and

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: happy and then there's what these guys are. And they

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: had to travel late last night. They're gonna have to

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: flip around and travel on Saturday again, so they've got

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 1: one less day. They're ripe for the pickings. Is Mark

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: Vanderby would like to say, this is why you like

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: them because it's a short week, back to back travel games.

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the fat and happy thing is

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: hopefully they're satisfied and they're thinking, oh, we're gonna get

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: this one. They come in here and then you go

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: ahead and bludgeon them with Damian Pierce. You make some

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: surgical throws, you strip the ball away from Taylor Heidecky,

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: former Houston Texans signal caller who played about two plays

22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and you come out of here with

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: a victory on Sunday, which is what I want to

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: see on Salute the Service Day. I had to go

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: back and look at Taylor Heineke. I felt like he

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: was here for a really long time. He really wasn't

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: here that long. He was here on in that twenty

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: seventeen season, after DeShawn Watson got hurt, t J. Yates

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: came in. TJ. Yates got concussed against Pittsburgh. Heineke comes

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: in for a play, he gets concussed, then he leaves,

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: and then TJ. Yates clears a concussion, and that was

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: that was all she wrote about Taylor Heineke. We talked

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: with Nick Casserio, and he was with New England in

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen practice squad and then with the Texans. Of course,

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: but the concussion. If that had not happened, I would

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: like to see how history would have played out, because

37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: maybe he gets to play more and that offense works

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: with him a little bit better than they did. With

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Savage and whatever they were getting out of TJ in

40
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: the last spurts of TJ. Yates's career, and then maybe

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Heineke sticks around as the backup in twenty eighteen behind Watson,

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: and who knows what happens after that, but he left

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: and the rest is history. Yeah, it's really Yeah, that's

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: a very underrated topic. I mean it's kind of esoteric obviously,

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: but what happens if you do win like three games

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: there as opposed to what you did in twenty sevene

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: what did they do? They went out and got a J. McCarron.

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: They said, let's go get a guy. Yeah the next season, Yeah,

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: the next season. But that's what we're talking about here.

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: After twenty seventeen, you have Watson coming back from the injury.

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: Does Heinek stick around if he plays well down the

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: stretch for you in twenty seventeen, because we saw Savage,

53
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: we saw Yates again, and you didn't win a single game.

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: Those guys were not going to be around here anymore.

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: So they had to go get a backup, and they

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: got McCarron, who had played pretty well as a backup

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, and he was in Buffalo and then you're thinking,

58
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: all right, well, let's just get him here because he

59
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: has some experience and maybe he's a good reserve for

60
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. And look, we never saw him much either, right.

61
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: He played in that meaning list quote game in twenty

62
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nineteen and nineteen where I remember he scored

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: of that first drive of the game. It was the

64
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: first time and forever that the Texans scored on an

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: opening drive. But Derek Henry went nuts in that game. Anyway,

66
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: it would be curious. I'd be curious to see what

67
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Heineke would have done here in a Houston Texans uniform,

68
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: and maybe he'd still be around. Who knows, when you

69
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: consider everything that's happened. Meanwhile, he's gone three and one

70
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: with Washington because Carson Wentz went out with a fractured finger.

71
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: You're injured his finger. And I was looking at his

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: numbers last night, I mean the not fantastic seventeen of

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: twenty nine, no touchdowns and interception, sixty six passer rating.

74
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: But on the plane importantly, gold diamond chains, kind of

75
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins effect. But who are you still wearing

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: a shirt? And there was a lot of stuff going

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: on with trash bags and beer cans. And it's a

78
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: pretty short flight. So bush beer bush light, yeah, which

79
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm almost surprised they fly. It's one

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: of those screeners because by the time now, the way

81
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: the NFL teams travel, I guess it's logical Philly to

82
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: New York, for instance. I don't think they don't think

83
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: they fly. There's no reason to fly. You just get

84
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: on the bus and go. It's only training. I know Washington,

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: and I think the Ravens have taken a train to

86
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: games when they played the Eagles, or would be nice. Yeah,

87
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: own cart, you have your own cart. I think with

88
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: New York, the Jets and the Giants, they're both in Jersey,

89
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: so they're south of Manhattan. You don't have to worry

90
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: about getting over the bridge and doing all that. So

91
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: the traffic you hit is in suburban New York and

92
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: the Jersey side. Anyway, that is a short flight. Why

93
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: are we talking about this? But Heineke was showered with

94
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: praise by his teammates. All right, and here's my description

95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: of Heineken. He might not be the best quarterback, but

96
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: you know what he is. He's what the football coaches

97
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and football people call a football player is a football

98
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: player playing quarterback. He's smart, he's tough, he's dependable, he's smart,

99
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: he's tough. You saw him take that knee, which is weird.

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to adjust the rules for this. He

101
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: gave himself, but in a weird way. Then he took

102
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: that hit and he got another fifteen yards out of

103
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the deal, and he was so fired up. Memes gifts

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: were flying across the internet at that point because he

105
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: was he was celebrating that he got hit and drew

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard flag. But he's a tough guy. He

107
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: essentially ended that. Yeah, another were eleven seconds left, but

108
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: then they scored again on defense. Yeah that that absolutely

109
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: iced things. It did, Yeah, it did. It's awesome for

110
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, who I've been calling the Commodorees, but

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: the Commanders who got that win and now they come

112
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: in here with a lot of momentum. They're five and

113
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: five in right now. I believe every single team in

114
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: the NFC East would make the playoffs. I mean, that's

115
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: a tough division. The fact that the Giants were like third,

116
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean they're technically they were tied for second, heading

117
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: to our game on Sunday. You know, behind the Eagles,

118
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: everyone's five hundred and above now thanks to Washington winning.

119
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: But now you got Carson Wentz eligible to come off

120
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: ir No, no, you say no. I mean he's such

121
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: a different like personality. What we've all heard the we've

122
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: heard the als of Carson Wentz in the locker room.

123
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about Wentz. If now for Washington's sake,

124
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Wentz if I'm a Washington fan.

125
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Yet I also feel like as a Texan I don't

126
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: want to see Wentz either because he has more arm,

127
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: talent and overall big playmaking ability I believe than Taylor Heneke.

128
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: But Heneke is gonna play smarter, tougher, have the team

129
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: behind him more. I just think there's a reason why

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: he is where he is, why he's on his third

131
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: team and all of that. But with the Colts last year,

132
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: Wentz lit up the Texans. I know, a different team,

133
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: different situation, But I think I'd rather deal with Taylor

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: Heineke this weekend on a short week and take my

135
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: shot that way. Hey, you brought up the kneeling thing

136
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: and how it might be up for a rules vote

137
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: perhaps this offseason. I think another rules vote that really

138
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: ought to seriously be considered is we saw on this

139
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: last play of the game last night. You know they

140
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: do that kind of rugby sort of throw it all

141
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: over the field scrum. I think when that situation occurs,

142
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: whatever network is broadcasting, I think while that play is

143
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: going on, they must have the Benny Hill theme song,

144
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: because I don't know about you, I love that so

145
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: much more than a hail Mary. It's so much more

146
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: fun to watch because I like last night they get

147
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: the you know, the touchdown there from the defensive tack.

148
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: Why are you looking at me like that play? I

149
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: don't like it twenty seventeen, JJ, watch just slip left

150
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: guard into the turf. I mean just stuff like that.

151
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: It cracks me at the Grenkowski falling around when the

152
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins scored it a few years back. I love that play.

153
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: It never works, That's what it's about it. That's why

154
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: you gotta have the Benny Hill. I just hate that

155
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: people can't do a hail Mary when you're out of range.

156
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean I guess, but that okay. When

157
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: you can't do a haill Mary, you do a hill Mary.

158
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: But that play. I when that play comes up, I'm

159
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: just like, let's just end the game. But you know

160
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: what I would do, Throw it like thirty or forty

161
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: yards downfield. If you happen to hit a receiver, the

162
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: receiver just sort of lobs it across the field. Hopefully

163
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: someone's streaking down there they can pluck it out of

164
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: the midair, or an offensive lineman catches it and just

165
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: gets planted. I thought that was hilarious. So are you

166
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: in favor of the instead of the onside kick situation,

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the fourth and fifteen that proposed rule the fourth and

168
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: fifteen at your own twenty or whatever the call on instead? Yea.

169
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: So now you want the ball back, You get it,

170
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: and it's one down and fifteen yards to go to convert.

171
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: If you don't get fifteen yards, you don't keep playing.

172
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: But you do get fifteen yards, you keep playing. I

173
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: mean that's a lot more dangerous and probably a lot

174
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: more convertible than an onside kids. I think it's a

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: lot more comfortible. I see, I don't agree with this

176
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: because if you're playing Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and you've

177
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: done all the hard work to get the lead, and

178
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: they get a backdoor score and all of a sudden,

179
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: wait a minute, a fifteen yard play and they're still

180
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: going and my defense is tired after giving up that score.

181
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: They have to get it via on side kick, and

182
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: they complain about the people involved, complain about possible injuries

183
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: and things like that. But that's football. Do you remember

184
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: when they brought back the two point conversion? Like there

185
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: was a time when there was no two point conversion?

186
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: That was a long time ago, and it feels like

187
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: it was not And now I can't remember games before

188
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: the two point conversion. I'm old enough to remember sports

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: talk hosts complaining about no two point conversion in the

190
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: NFL and several saying there's no way the coaches will

191
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: ever allowed. They don't want to think, you know, because

192
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: it brings thinking into the game and a little bit

193
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: of math. Yeah, they don't want to make those decisions.

194
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: But it's great for the game. That's great for the game. Fantastic.

195
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: What league was it the USFL? Where had it where

196
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: you could go for three from the ten and go

197
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: for three? You're down. Now we're gonna go for three.

198
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know how many teams did it the

199
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: USFL Last spring was kind of a tough go because

200
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: it was clunky. They didn't score a lot of points.

201
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: I think the s XFL prior to the pandemic had

202
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: a better run, and they're gonna be back this spring

203
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: with Wade Phillips no less. All right, so you got

204
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz maybe, I mean, I wonder if Carson Wentz

205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: doesn't play, if they do what the Colts did, which

206
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: is basically just cut ties with them for the rest

207
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: of the year and just go Taylor Heineke. I don't

208
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: know what if Heinekey gets hurt, you want to I

209
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: don't know what his contract situation is. But like I mean,

210
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: but then again, Matt Ryan was benched and now he's

211
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: starting again for the Colts, So I never know what

212
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: happened and announce anything for the rest of the year.

213
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to them. One guy that we'll be playing

214
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: Chase Young, who that's dangerous because you're already worried about

215
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: that defensive front. But you get Chase Young back second

216
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: overall pick in the twenty twenty draft. Hasn't played since

217
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: last year. Last November, almost a year ago to the date,

218
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: out with the torn ACL was not eligible to come

219
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: back last week, and they'd sort of penciled in this

220
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: week as his return, but he's also not played in

221
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: a full year. But that defensive front gets a little

222
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: bit stronger with the first round. Yea nasty already. That

223
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: that makes things tougher on the Texans. O Lin'm gonna

224
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: have to be ready for him, see what that brings.

225
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: But especially on the interior, what they have without Young Already,

226
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: those guys they were bullying interiors haven't been a problem,

227
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: have they? Who wait, let's just add to it mark

228
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: every single week, Letcher Cox, Jeffrey Simmons. We had Dexter

229
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: Lawrence last week who played like Superman or more like

230
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: King Kong. Since you're in New York City, and that

231
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: was incredible to watch that performance. This is gonna be tough,

232
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen. You got pain on the inside. So they

233
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: bring back Chase Young outside Montes sweat. They've got a

234
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: good front, and it's been difficult to handle some of

235
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: these fronts. At least you're at home, you know what

236
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: to expect. At least you've had the time. You've had

237
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: practice time. In practice time, you've had real game situation

238
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: reps against the best in the business. So maybe that

239
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: helps you do it better next time. I don't know.

240
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: It's not like different talent is coming in. You're gonna

241
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: have to find a way to deal with it, all right. Well,

242
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: the Texans they fell to the Giants on Sunday. Some

243
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: positives from the game. You get Nico Collins back, MALIEK

244
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: Collins is back as well, and Jerry Hughes now at

245
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: eight sacks on the season, he's on pace for fifteen

246
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: sacks for the year. And he's I mean, he's just

247
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: on a tear through the first he was really good

248
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: thinking about what he did. So he's in about sixty

249
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps and he gets four tackles, one

250
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: per quarter, and they go like this, sa Quon Barkley

251
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: stop for no gain. Sae Quon Barkley one yard. The

252
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: first half ends, that's a sack for a loss of five.

253
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: And then in the second half he gets a tackle

254
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: for loss for a loss of five. So the four

255
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: plays he's in on go for negative eight yards for

256
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: the excuse me, negative nine yards for the Giants. So,

257
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's making a difference when he's in there,

258
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: and I don't I think everyone was excited and optimistic that, hey,

259
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: this guy will be a difference maker, but you're probably

260
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: not gonna see him playing all the time. He's not

261
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: gonna be out there one hundred percent of the snaps.

262
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: And hey, if he gives you four or five sacks, man,

263
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: that's good stuff. It's like deep. He said, he's on

264
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: pace for double digit sacks, one of the greatest sacks

265
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: seasons not by JJ Watton team history. So this has

266
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: been a revelation of sorts. I so want to see

267
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: this because in a year where you're not getting the victories, yeah,

268
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: that you want getting some other things that are really interesting,

269
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: like Damian Pierce's production. This kind of production is fun too,

270
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: even though it's not like you're gonna have Jerry Hughes

271
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: for the next ten years. But it's fun to see.

272
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: He's a local guy. He's got eight sacks. Like you said,

273
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: his career best is ten sacks back in twenty thirteen.

274
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: So he's got a great shot to eclipse that. I

275
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: don't count any chickens though, because I know we have

276
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: a long way to go. He should get it. But

277
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Jonathan Grenard last year I had eight and then he

278
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: couldn't get over the ten mark. And other than what

279
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: in the last decade who had more than ten. Barrowin

280
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: in eleven, Whitney Merciless in sixteen had twelve, And I

281
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: think that's it. Mario was long gone after eleven, yet

282
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: close he got nine. Yeah, he never had double digits,

283
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: double digits. It just seems like that ceiling that's hard

284
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: to surpass. You're right about Jonathan Grenard though, think of

285
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: the expectations we had for him this year coming off

286
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: of last year, thinking if he was healthy, if he's

287
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: able to play, because in the games that he did play,

288
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: he was so effective, but he also missed games with injuries. Well,

289
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: and then this year I asked Levy Smith about it,

290
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: because you know he's eligible to return. He's missed four games.

291
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: He's actually missed five games, four of them on IR.

292
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know it just you can put it

293
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: through the Lovey translator. It seems like it might be

294
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: a few more weeks. It sounds like it's not imminent,

295
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: but you never know dep with Lovey it. The Lovey

296
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: translator is hard for injuries sometimes. And we'll find out

297
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: more tomorrow when we go to practice and see if

298
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: he's out there with the big group or not. We'll

299
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: find out more former coaches that you guys have used

300
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: the translator on, like Kubiak and O'Brien. Those coaches spoke

301
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: romance languages, Lovey Smith, it's it's like an Eastern European

302
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: or a month gold. I mean, there's no rhyme or

303
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: reason to this. It doesn't have like patterns like the

304
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: other guys. You're right, it's hard to follow their traits. Yeah,

305
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: you know with Bill O'Brien when he said it's not

306
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: life threatening, that would mean that it's probably not more

307
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: than a couple of weeks. I just knew their terminology

308
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: could be Act two. And I can't think of specific examples,

309
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: but I knew how to Lovey keeps you off balance

310
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: with this stuff. And Lovey calls out the media in

311
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: the nicest possible way, but he calls out the media

312
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: called him out for the Davis Mills questions. He definitely

313
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: reminds the media of all the other issues that Texans

314
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: have besides the ones at quarterback. But I feel like

315
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: that question is just it's just one that's going to

316
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: keep coming up unless Davis Mills has a great game.

317
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of season left. You could do a

318
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: lot of different things here, But I think they're right

319
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: to do what they're doing. I mean, you want to

320
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: see exactly what you have. In another campaign, other situation,

321
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have that opportunity. I'm not going to call

322
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: it a luxury, but that opportunity to have a long

323
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: look like this at a young quarterback, let him play

324
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: through a lot of things, let him develop. You just

325
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: don't have that chance on a lot of squads, especially

326
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: when you have other options around that might obviously help

327
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: the team win, more like what the Colts went through

328
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: with Ellinger. And you have Matt Ryan sitting over there,

329
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: and I know he threw two or three picks or

330
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: whatever the last time he played, but my gosh, he's

331
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: still right. You don't have Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan's not

332
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: walking through that door here at NRG Stadium. What you

333
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: want to see is what Mills can do in a developmental,

334
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: long term situation. So you make a good decision on

335
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback position in the offseason, and maybe you make

336
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: some adjustments to your offense that way too. You see

337
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: what's working what's not working. With guys like Davis Mills

338
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: and Damian Pierce. You're just trying to I think Sean

339
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: and Seth talked about it this morning. I liked how

340
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: they put it, like, maybe you already know what the

341
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: ceiling is with Kyle Allen. You know what the ceiling

342
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: is of the Jeff Driskell, So you already know where

343
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: you're at with that, So you might as well see

344
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: what you have in Davis Mills now here through the

345
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: rest of the season, because it's not like, you know,

346
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: whatever spark you might get, maybe it's just a fleeting spark, yeah,

347
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: but what does it? Yeah? What does it accomplish? It? At?

348
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: The only thing I wonder about is if you did

349
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: something like that, does Mills benefit from sitting and watching again,

350
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: similar to last year, but in a different situation, different

351
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: kind of situation, but some Yeah, and then and then

352
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: he sees it, and then he comes back and he's different.

353
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if that would be happen,

354
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: if that would work or not. But they have I

355
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: always say this about these situations. They have access to

356
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: so much more information than we do. They have access

357
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: to all the practice stuff that no one sees, right,

358
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: So here's how it's going in practice versus the games.

359
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: All of that that they take it to consideration, and look,

360
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of options in the offseason. They

361
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: can stay put, they can move on, they can invest

362
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: draft capital where they sit, they can trade up. They've

363
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: got picks for days and years, so they can work

364
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: that out accordingly. Well, I think the main reason why

365
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: it comes up is obviously six trips to the red zone,

366
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: only one that you score on Davis through an interception,

367
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: but also there was a fumble near the goal line

368
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: that was on Damian Pierce. But as far as turnover differential,

369
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: which I know is Drew's absolutely most favorite stat in

370
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: the world, I mean, the trend, it's trending in a

371
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: really bad direction. I hate true at the turnover desks.

372
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: Minus two on Sunday against the Giants, and they've been

373
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: in the negative for four of the past six games.

374
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: Oh you know, last year a few times the Texans

375
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: actually won games. It was only almost exclusively when they

376
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: were plus three or better, which and that's not really sustainable.

377
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: Nobody's nobody's gonna unless yeah, you're not really gonna do that.

378
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: It's it's been a tough road. They're they're even on

379
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: the season, though, which is a little bit surprising. You

380
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: see a team with one win and seven or eight losses,

381
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: you're probably thinking, Okay, well they're like eight or nine underwater.

382
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: They're not the Texans. And this is the first time

383
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: they've been even or negative this season on the whole.

384
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: They had been, you know, above that mark pretty much consistently.

385
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: But wait, what were they last year around the midway point?

386
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: Do you remember last year? I'd have to pull it

387
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: up here if you just give me a moment. Last

388
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: year they were probably around Uh, they're always in the

389
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: top five for the most part because they were taking

390
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: the ball away at a very very high clip. I

391
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: think teams now around the league studied it realized and

392
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: they alert their players a little bit better too. Hey

393
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: they're coming for the ball as far as strips and whatnot,

394
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: so be a little bit more ready than before. But

395
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: it's just weird how that's gone down and they haven't

396
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: been able to kind of get going again like they did.

397
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're still better, however than Washington. Washington's minus

398
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: two on the year in turn over deferential. But they

399
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: had a good night last night getting four takeaways and

400
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: they go to plus two on the game because of

401
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, they give it away two times, but I thought, yeah,

402
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: if the Texans are gonna get going, they've got to

403
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: be plus like two or three to be successful. Last

404
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: night was a weird game. I know Washington won it,

405
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: Philly made mistake after mistake. They're kicking themselves. They had

406
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: that long completion. I forget who caught it, but he

407
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: gets up, then he gets stripped, and they had a

408
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: lot of strange things happen, weird bounces that Heinekee play.

409
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: We talked about with the knee. They just had a

410
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: bad night. And I think they're a pretty good team.

411
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: But the time of possession, like they kept showing the

412
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: graphic throughout the game time of possessions. I felt like

413
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: every time I looked, I just had the TV on

414
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: in the background, but it seemed like I just never

415
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: saw Jalen Hurts on the field and never saw Philly's

416
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: offense on the field. It ended forty minutes to twenty

417
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: four seconds, Washington's time of possession to nineteen minutes thirty six.

418
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: That's more than double, more than double. You just keep

419
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: them off the field, and I think, to Drew's point,

420
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: with a turnover differential, while the Texans are at zero

421
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: right now, that's the worst they've been in turnover differential

422
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: because they've been positive at least through the last I

423
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: believe they're the whole season, right, Yeah, Yeah, we've never

424
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: been negative, so you're you're now positive. I think teams

425
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: are just throwing the ball a lot less. If you

426
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: look at what Daniel Jones did, he only had seventeen

427
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: seventeen throws in the entire game, completed thirteen of seventeen.

428
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: So teams are running the ball on the Texans more

429
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: they figured out you running the ball, there's less opportunity

430
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: for SAT, which is I think, which makes it even

431
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: more amazing that Jerry Hughes is getting the sack numbers

432
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: that he is. Yeah, because teams are just running the

433
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: ball on you, and you're seeing the rushing yards go

434
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: up and up and up against your defense. To answer

435
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: that question, though from earlier, I was actually really wrong

436
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: this time a year ago Week nine, Week ten, Texans

437
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: were tied for twentieth because they were minus three. But

438
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: then they go out of the buy and you remember this,

439
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: they go in the rain to Nashville, they go plus

440
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: five and turn over to that turned around them up. Yeah,

441
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: but they won the games they won last year were

442
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: plus three against the Jags, plus five against the Titans,

443
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: and then minus one actually at the Jaguars, and then

444
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: plus three here against the Chargers, So they did actually

445
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: go minus and the differential to win a game, but

446
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: the other ones they went plus eleven the other three.

447
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I felt like in preseason and early on in the

448
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: season we saw even why was expecting even more takeaways

449
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: than last year, and now it seems like it's just

450
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: tapered off. It's just so it's just such a weird

451
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: season for the defense, just having to do Sometimes you

452
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: don't get them. Remember twenty thirteen they didn't get them.

453
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: There were certain years in Texans history they don't get to.

454
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty. How about twenty twenty twenty O'Brien's first year

455
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: they got them in. I mean they were all the time,

456
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: they were flowing, and they went nine and seven, and

457
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: to readdress the midway points at from last year all

458
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: not all because the Colts game here was later that

459
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: was a second half game, but in the first half

460
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: of the season they had all those blowouts and they

461
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: were just giving the ball away like it was on

462
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: fire in those games and some of those games, so

463
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: that really hurts you obviously look like we say every week, Hello,

464
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: put on the record again. They're in every game, they're

465
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: there in the fourth quarter. They haven't come away with

466
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: the big plays when they needed to, and whoila, you're

467
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: won seven and one. I mean the games are all close,

468
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: they're even against Philadelphia, you were close through the first

469
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: three quarters. I guess you're not getting blown out like

470
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: you were last year. But at some point, it just

471
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: feels like Groundhog Day. Week after week after week, you're

472
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: in the game and then something happens at the fourth

473
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: quarter they pull away, and that's how it is. Eventually

474
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: they'll put together a full, complete game, but it feels

475
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: like that's what that's what the players are talking about.

476
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: That's what love he's talking about every single week, just

477
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: putting a complete game together. And when is it going

478
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: to happen? Well, it happened this week. I have a

479
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: question for you both. We're gonna take a break, we

480
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: come back. Drew ask this question on extra points last week, okay,

481
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna ask Mark what it is as well,

482
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: and I might adjust my answer. It's about Damien Pierce

483
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: and how many carries he should get every single game

484
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: for hearing out plus of course we got to talk

485
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: about the colds because hey, they're want to know with

486
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday as head coach. So it's all coming up.

487
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna go around the end AFC South and we're

488
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: gonna go around the NFL. It's all coming up on

489
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Welcome back, Texans All Access rolls on

490
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: the Texans get ready to host the Washington Commanders on

493
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: And before the break, I wanted to pose a question

494
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: that Drew opposed to me and Brandon Scott last week

495
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: on extra points posed go ahead and posed? Oh you

496
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: were saying posed away please? Post was echoing in Damien

497
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: Piers over under on how many cares? How did you

498
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: word it? Exactly? Over under? On carries per game? Over

499
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: under touches? Jame? What must it be the rest of

500
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: the way, the rest of the year? What did you

501
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: what do you think that that touched numbers should be?

502
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: And you both want he wound up going under both

503
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: of y'all numbers? Lest what would your number? What did

504
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: I say last week? You okay? Oh? On extra points.

505
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: That way, you don't remember because you were not part

506
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: of extra points last right, I'm gonna go twenty four. Interesting,

507
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: I said twenty five, okay, because he'd gone twenty seven

508
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: the week before, obviously season high. Brandon said twenty. And

509
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: then after Brandon said that, and after watching this game,

510
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce went seventeen for ninety four yards, and I thought, oh,

511
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: you're going you're going to touches. Yeah, because when he

512
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: gets the ball, if it's a runner, Yeah, exactly, things happened,

513
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: all right. I want to see eighteen ish carries, eighteen

514
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: to twenty carries, and I want to see four or

515
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: five passes. Okay, all right, Now, you're not going to

516
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: catch every pass, I guess, but you're running back and

517
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: it should be a high percentage of completions. So I

518
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: want to see them throw him the ball in space

519
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: where the hits might not be as severe. You can

520
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: get hurt anytime, but that would be a terrific way

521
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: to do it. And he's in the game more in

522
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: obvious passing situations as the season progresses here, and so

523
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: is our buddy Darre Guberalle, who we had on the

524
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: Players Show. Why not put them both in at the

525
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: same time. Well, they did do that actually a couple

526
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: of times. I didn't see that. I saw ab and

527
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: Burkehead in together once because I want to say Dar

528
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: and Pierce were in there for at least a couple

529
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: of plays, and I think Hariston was in there with him.

530
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know what they were doing. I

531
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: thought it was an obvious maybe not obvious past situation.

532
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: But there was one time when Pierce was split out wide.

533
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: I think Dari was in the backfield, and I don't

534
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: know what they were doing, but it made the defense think.

535
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure because I'm thinking if they do that, they're

536
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: going to throw the ball to Pierce on some kind

537
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: of screen, because you've got both guys that can carry

538
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: the ball, both guys that can catch the ball. I mean,

539
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine that that just opens up. You're gonna

540
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: have different looks, have the same formation, do different things

541
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: every single time. I really like Dori gumber Wally when

542
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: he's out there in the Yes, yes, I know he

543
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: likes it too. I thought it was interesting last hour

544
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: or what he said about rex Burke rex Burghead and

545
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: what he means to the running backs. And he's kind

546
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: of like a coach in there, even though he's not

547
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: a coach, and they write down things that Rex says.

548
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: They look up to him. It was notable. It was notable.

549
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: Rex remembers things from many, many plays ago. I'm always

550
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: fascinated guys that can just pull a play out of

551
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: their recollection. John Harriston said too, I could pull back.

552
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: In twenty fourteen, we saw this play. I can pull

553
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: a game out of nowhere and a movie scene out

554
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Okay, so helpful. Yes, it's very helpful when

555
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: it comes to football strategy. Remembering Casino went to Niro,

556
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: beat the guy up. You should tell love you this

557
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: any game, in any scene in a movie. Well, love

558
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: you are you know yesterday I already shifted gears so

559
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: fast by going to the Commodorees and Lionel Richie or

560
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: not Lionel Ritchie, because the commanders should be called the

561
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Commodorees because because then you keep calling them the commodore makers.

562
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: Think of Lionel Richie. And I mentioned the song night Shift,

563
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: and he knew exactly what I was talking about, So

564
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: it was a pretty cool conversation. We went into the Temptations.

565
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: We dug deep that's a genre. David Ruffin, even David

566
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: Ruffin came up. So I want to do a whole

567
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: show with the offseason with Lovey on just music and

568
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: we'll maybe play it, you know, play some other two

569
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: you should play music? Name that. Well, why don't you

570
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: have him sing along? Does sing along? That could be

571
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: really good or really really bad. And by the way,

572
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: as I say this, we spent about thirty seconds on it.

573
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: But it was good because we're not going to spend

574
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: a ton of time on that during football season. I

575
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: remember when Bill O'Brien started. He's the one that kind

576
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: of brought them music at practice and in training camp,

577
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: and so people were just really fascinated with what do

578
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: coaches listen to? Because he was picking the playlist. So

579
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: I had started on Spotify, Um, this Bill O'Brien playlist,

580
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: and it was kind of all over the place, yeah,

581
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: because he had some country in there, Rick Ross in there.

582
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: It is odd now because it's been basically a decade yep,

583
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: where you haven't had music. It started when the Texans

584
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: were really in the midst of that fourteen game Yes skid.

585
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: In twenty thirteen, Kubiak started Yes Just Try, and they

586
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: put case Keenum in there instead of putting the backup

587
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: t J. Yates in case. You got to remember had

588
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: never even been active when he made his first start,

589
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: so he was shaking things up. And it is weird.

590
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: Now you got to practice. You're hearing music, and you

591
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: didn't hear that those those first what thirteen years. If

592
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: you remember the first day I heard music out on

593
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: the practice field, it was weird because yeah, I had

594
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: not been going to college practice forever, right, so, and

595
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: they were doing it in colleges and this is one

596
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: of those things that the NFL borrowed over time. So

597
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: one day we go out there and all of a sudden,

598
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: they're playing music and they played crowd noise all the time,

599
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: and it got old. Okay, just this like, oh my gosh,

600
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: please stop, but it got old, right, so they started

601
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: playing the music. They just cranked it up loud. It

602
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: makes it hard to hear, so you're getting that effect,

603
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: but it's kind of pumping the guys up. At the

604
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: same time it was there was a jay Z song

605
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: that they played a bunch that year. There were several

606
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: songs they played a bunch that year. Then every time

607
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: I hear those songs, It just takes me back to

608
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. It was just yeah, they would crank regular

609
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: crowd noise in I remember that under Kubiak they did Yeah, yeah,

610
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: before the season when I worked out in Lubbock, Mike

611
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: Leach would have crowd noise when they practiced in the stadium,

612
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: but he got some sort of weird mix and he

613
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: would get woodpeckers going with the crowd noise, chainsaws like

614
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: a bell ring, he had all sorts of other stuff.

615
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, it was it was created calamity

616
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: and perform amidst that. Did you ever interview important? Makes

617
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: it important to do non verbal communication, hands signals and

618
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: the rest. Did you see that clip on social media

619
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: where he picked up all the folding chairs on the

620
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: sideline and formed him down because he didn't believe his

621
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers diserve chair. Mike Leach, in my experience, was

622
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: never angrier than when his team beat what he considered

623
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: an inferior opponent and only beat them like you know,

624
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: in a close game if they got blown out. Hey,

625
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: he was he was wasn't happy, but he wasn't furious

626
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: the way he would get when they'd win a game

627
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: that was a little too close for his liking over

628
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: an opponent that he thought. He would never say that they're,

629
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, inferior, but you could kind of tell, like,

630
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: this game shouldn't have been as close as it was.

631
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: It's interesting what makes coaches really really angry Because I

632
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: was talking to someone about this the other day. Bill O'Brien.

633
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: The Texans could win, he'd be super angry. Texans close,

634
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: he'd be super angry. But when the Texans got blown

635
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: out a few times, he got nicer. He was so

636
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: calm Miami, Atlanta when you was at twenty fifteen. Yeah,

637
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: those two press conferences, I was expecting just like plates

638
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: being thrown, and he was just as calm as could be.

639
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: Answered every question. It was almost eerie. And that actually

640
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: freaked a close game with questionable calls, the media would

641
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: come after well, they would go after anybody, you know,

642
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: it's not just him. Well, they were coming after him

643
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: when those losses as well, those were horrible losses. Well,

644
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 1: but in the wins sometimes well why did you do

645
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: this in the win? Why'd you do that in the win?

646
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's what irritated him, and it would

647
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: irritate any coach because you know, that there are things

648
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: you cannot ignore in victory that you wouldn't in defeat.

649
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: Of course, that's the old expression. But at the same time,

650
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: you won the freaking game. Yeah, give me an ugly win. Please,

651
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: please give me an ugly win. Give me ten of them. Well,

652
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: how many games would you have left? Eight? I'll take eight. Yeah,

653
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: I'll take a wins too, all right. Speaking of head coaches,

654
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: the Colts got their first win under interim head coach

655
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday. They beat the Raiders twenty five to twenty.

656
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: Colts are four to five and one, surprisingly which I

657
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: felt like they had less wins than that, but they

658
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: are four five and one. Raiders folded two and seven.

659
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Jeff Saturday gave a post locker room speech and

660
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: gave the players a cuinc Yeah I know, oh yeah,

661
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: both have gone. We'll move within one week because he

662
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: was hired on a Monday, right right, and they had

663
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: the press conference on a Monday night during Monday night football.

664
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: Oh week, less than a week later, they're celebrating. Saturday

665
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: has given a victory speech in locker room. It was

666
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: that kind of weak for the Colts. It took the

667
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Raiders to help them do it, but it was that

668
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of week, so you have to give them credit.

669
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: The other thing is this, had Frank Reich not gotten fired,

670
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: and had they continued to play Matt Ryan and somehow

671
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: they end up eight eight and one this year, Reich

672
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: might be fired, right, But if Jeff Saturday ends up

673
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: eight eight and one, he's Vince Lombardi and he's going

674
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: to get hired. That's how this is going. If Frank

675
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Reich wanted to keep Matt Ryan at quarterback but wasn't

676
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: allowed to, but then Jeff Saturday can come in and say,

677
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan, it's super unfair to Frank Roike.

678
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: And not that Frank Reich didn't have his chances to

679
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: change the offense or do whatever. And I get that

680
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: the staff was shorthanded. They had no play caller. They've

681
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: got Parks Frasier, the passing game coordinator, calling plays, but

682
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: they've got the Eagles coming up to have us see

683
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: you Wednesday when you're playing, you know, like you're trying

684
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: to win games here, right, but you know, see you Wednesday. Deep,

685
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: I think that a lot more for the coaches to

686
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the coaches are not It helps the coaches,

687
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: but on Monday. They probably have Tuesday off, and we

688
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: have Monday off here for the players, right, So it's

689
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: a little bit different for the Texans because the players

690
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: have off anyway on Monday. I guess Love he could

691
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 1: give them a Tuesday off. But the Colts are going

692
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: to have players not have Monday off and they come

693
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: in and watch film, whereas the Texans do that on Tuesday. Right.

694
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: But the Colts, a lot of Colts players are probably

695
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: in the building yesterday anyway because you have to go

696
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: in for treatment or where you always see players. Yea,

697
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: when they've been get the day off, Yeah they're still here.

698
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: They don't, but you're right. They don't have required meetings.

699
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: They don't have to sit and watch tape and listen

700
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: to it. They don't have to do that at all.

701
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: But I kind of understand. I do understand the way

702
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: Love he's doing it because he just wants Monday to

703
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: get it all together for the coaches and put together

704
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 1: the game plan. Then Tuesday they show them everything. Here

705
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: are the corrections from last game, here's the game plan

706
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: for the upcoming opponent. Let's go. They don't practice on

707
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, but they might walk through some things that

708
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: have that big walk through room. I'm not sure if

709
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: everything they do, but it's definitely not a regular practice

710
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 1: day on Tuesdays. But when when you're losing in a season,

711
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, like with Kubiak, he changed the music, what

712
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: could you. I mean, maybe you might change something now. Okay,

713
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: so practice, maybe the rest later, Maybe the rest helps

714
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: him out. Maybe I actually do play by players offers

715
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: and then none of us over stretching. Yeah, the ten

716
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: minutes we're out there, yea. And there's a good stretch

717
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: at the forty yard line. Individual drills. Yeah, that should

718
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. All Right, We're gonna go

719
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: around the NFL because JJ Watt is doing some jj

720
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: Watt things. That's all coming up on Texans All Access.

721
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: One more segment, final segment of Texans All Access. We

722
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: go around the NFL, jj Watt doing jj Watt things.

723
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: On Twitter, he paid out a fan's parlay after his

724
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: fumble return for a touchdown was blown dead by a whistle.

725
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: There's a guy on Twitter who said he would have

726
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: won a thousand dollars as part of a three leg parlay,

727
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: and his tweet was, they blew up, they blew the

728
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: play dead. But you would have walked in the end zone,

729
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: should have won a thousand and want to help a

730
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: brother out, and it was two tears of joy emojis,

731
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: and of course JJ Watt. He replied back and said

732
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: that he got him. He said, DM me your address. Yeah,

733
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: you got screwed. We both did laughing craning emoji. I

734
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: got you, DM me your address. So so he's gonna

735
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: pay him. He's gonna pay him a thousand dollars. The

736
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: man's parlay actually included Arizona Cardinals winning the money line,

737
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: James Connor touchdown, and a defensive touchdown. So Watt recovered

738
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: the fumble. There was open field, but the ref Cleet Blakeman,

739
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: blew the play dead as an incomplete pass, and later

740
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: Wat told said that he just screwed up. But blake

741
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: when apologized to him, nothing he can do but say sorry,

742
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: that's my guy. You do like Cleet Blakeman. Yeah, he

743
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: likes Uce, he likes Texans Radio, so oh yes, and

744
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: that's why he blew that dead. I'm just kidding, but

745
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: it just makes me. It makes me laugh because I

746
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: just think of like JJ, because I was reading all

747
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: the mentions me and Sean Va, Johnny were waiting of

748
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: the pressors to start. Yeah, and we just went down

749
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: this rabbit hole of reading all the mentions of all

750
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: the other people asking JJ wat money right exactly? Oh, well,

751
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: I made this bet, but then I tripped and my

752
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: phone fell in the river. So I would show it

753
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: to you. But it was ten grand, you know. But

754
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: you can imagine all the sad stories and the truly

755
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: needy people that contact Watt and people like him for money.

756
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: But that's what we were talking about. How he said, well,

757
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: doesn't this open up Pandora's Pandora's box for JJ? But

758
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: I said, he he knows that, but I think he

759
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: just accepted. He still does every now and then select him.

760
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: It's good that this didn't happen when I was a

761
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: junior in college, because one of my roommates that year

762
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: spent the better part of the last semester of our

763
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: junior year. He would wake up around noonish, go straight

764
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: to the couch and lay down. You'd have a dip

765
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: cup and three remotes, and the phone was a cordless

766
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: phone back in the late nineties, and a cell phone

767
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: next to that, like all in a row, and I'd

768
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: get home from class like a nerd at three o'clock

769
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. And since like they kind of new

770
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: in my crew of friends, I was the one that

771
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: likes sports the most. You know, they were they all

772
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: like sports. When they didn't, you follow like we all

773
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: follow it. And I walk in the door and eta

774
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: he'd say, Hey, Doherty, who do you like Vancouver Grizzlies

775
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: versus Lakers plus three and a half, And I'm like,

776
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: d And then he'd come at me with hockey lines

777
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: and I don't even know how. I have no idea

778
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: about hockey, and I just say do this. And so,

779
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: you know, lost money didn't do well all that much.

780
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: So then a few years later, I come home one

781
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: day and there's a brand new Massive and I'm talking

782
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: Massive TV in the living room. Wow. I'm like, what happened?

783
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: He said Doherty? I hit the eight team parlay on

784
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: a Sunday. So he did all right? He was like,

785
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: who wins money on parlays? I think parlays with a

786
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: way to go? Actually yeah, because you can win a lot.

787
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: And they're fun because the first games being played, the

788
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: games might overlap. I like those NCAA tournament parlays. Now,

789
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: those are fun because I feel like those. You can

790
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: win a lot of money on nc I haven't done

791
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: this since before I started doing NFL play by play,

792
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: but I think the parlays. I totally get the parlays

793
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: because the bet takes a while to play out. You

794
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: get to enjoy the drama of it all instead of

795
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, and I'll bet on number thirty two and

796
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: then okay, thanks, thanks for taking my money in one

797
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: spin forget about it. And roulette is crazy. I don't

798
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: get me talking about casino games anyway. Good story, but

799
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: a good story. But it makes me think of all

800
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: the other times that JJ Watston steff and gone viral.

801
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: I think the one that I really surprised me was

802
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: when he ate Captain Crunch at like training camp. Someone

803
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: brought a box of Captain Crunch for JJ and ate

804
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: it and he ate it. No, he just opened the box,

805
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: poured it on his throat, and then he said something

806
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: about how he just scraped raw the roof of his

807
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: mouth because it's Captain crunch. And that was viral and

808
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: I remember seeing it on like NFL Network later. Oh yeah,

809
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: everybody's got an opinion on this. Captain Crunch is like

810
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: cracking crunch. I mean that stuff is so addictive. I

811
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: haven't had it in ages. Boy, I really wouldn't want

812
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: some right now. Damian Pearce used to have it on

813
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: Saturday mornings watching cartoons. He talked about Captain Crunch, and

814
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: my mom would get it for us like once every

815
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: two or three months, because my brother and I would

816
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: just binge the whole box no matter what time of

817
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: day it was. She brings that stuff home from the

818
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: grocery store. It is gone. There's no way you can

819
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: save it. So delicious, jat love I am. I am

820
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: so seasoned. Okay. When I was a kid, we used

821
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: to put sugar on the cheerios, and sugar on all

822
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: those kinds of cereals that don't normally get sugar. Yeah,

823
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: like rice crispies, like go cheios. It's so sweet. I

824
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: could just I can still feel the granules in my teeth. Awful. Anyway,

825
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: it's Texans Radio. We're talking about cereals, cereal, We're talking

826
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: about gambling roommates. Since I feel like the Dai Damien

827
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: Pierce could be that guy for us, like he was

828
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: like if he says he likes Hapn Crunch, I did

829
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: played jingle with him that was fun man. He had

830
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: some good answer and even then he went out and

831
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: backed it up, had ninety four yards five and a half.

832
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: He didn't like the fumble, but he's the least of

833
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: your worries, the least, and he'll learn. He'll learn from

834
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: that error. He's lost all season. Yeah, he had a

835
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: couple of others, but he didn't lose him. So let's

836
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: keep it going with him. Look, I think all these

837
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: young guys, they've got great personalities. If you're winning some games,

838
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: they start to really surface, right, And here's a player

839
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: who's going to be very well liked and fun to

840
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: interview once they get more time under his under his belt,

841
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: so to speak, once they get more seasoned for him.

842
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley Junior, I'm telling you, Derek Stingley Junior is

843
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: a very wonderful guy. And you start to win and

844
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: he gets another year or two on his resume, he'll surface.

845
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: Petree's great, Kenyan Green, They're all gonna be great, but

846
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: local guys like Petrie and Kenya gotta find a way

847
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: to win some games. Gott to find a way to

848
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: put together a string together some wins, and you'll see

849
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: that really start to surface. Well, I think with with

850
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce, just watching his campaign for Offensive Rookie of

851
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: the Year. You know, as he continues to go like

852
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: you know, it's just something you can root for. It's

853
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: hard not to root for him. He's just so likable. Yeah,

854
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: he does not listen to music. Do you know this?

855
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: He says he doesn't listen to music. He hears music.

856
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: Because someone asked him what his favorite song on the

857
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: Drake album was, He's like, I've heard it, but I

858
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: don't listen to it. He sings. He sings his karaokee song.

859
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: He sang it with me. It was it was Michael

860
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: Jackson one and then who I was like, what are

861
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: you saying on the shower? It was he actually singing it.

862
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: Remember we should put that in the Texans Players show intro,

863
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: just him singing. Yeah. You go to Houston Texans dot
