22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: I think this is one of my favorite first segments

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: that I've ever done. Usually on Friday, it's the first

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: segment you gotta hear because who's in, who's out? The

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: injury report comes out. Bill O'Brien sits down with Mark

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: for a few minutes to talk about the game. So

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: the first segment's got a lot of jam pack stuff. Well,

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: obviously Noby no injury report, so we don't have any

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: of that, and of course no game, so well what

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Trust me, I got to cover

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: in this segment. You're really gonna like it. But we're

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: also gonna have later in the show my first community

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: credit union, first glance keys to the final seven games

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: of the season, not to the game this weekend obviously,

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: but to the final seven games of the season, both

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, offense, defense. What are the keys?

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: I do Key see the game each every Friday, so

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do them for the last seven games. It's

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: a seven game sprint over the final couple months of

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: the calendar year with the Texans six and three. Every

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: game takes on huge meeting on the way out, so

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: we'll talk about what are the Keys over the final

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: seven weeks of the year. We've got a weekend of

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: NFL games, so I will do my predictions straight up

45
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: and it gets the spread. I do that every single week,

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: so we got that to look forward to as well.

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: And then the final hour of the show. And it's

48
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: something a little different now. Every Tuesday night, I do

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: a show called Texans Replay, and I always look back

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: on that show and I look back at previous games

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: pretty much the previous game, the one most recently played.

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: So last week's replay, we had a chance and breakdown

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville jack win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: do that with something I called the Ultimate eleven. I

55
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: look back at the ultimate eleven moments, plays, etc. Of

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: that particular game. So I got to the bye weekend,

57
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, we don't have normally on

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: a Friday. We've got interviews, preview in the game, a

59
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: lot of things going on a Friday show, and I thought,

60
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: you know what, let's look back at the first nine

61
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: games of the year and let's look back at the

62
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: ultimate eleven plays of the first nine weeks of the year.

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do that in the second hour of

64
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: the show, and that actually it was fun to do

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: to take that look back and see what we had.

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: And man, there were some tremendous moments in the first

67
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: nine weeks. I mean, first of all, when you play

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: seven of the nine games that go right down really

69
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: to the final seconds. I mean New Orleans was a

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: last second field goal. Then Jacksonville was a last second

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: two point stop. Week three of the Chargers, you had

72
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: to hang on until there were what twenty seconds on

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: the clock in the final fourth down throw that was incomplete.

74
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Carolina down by six. Long Hail Mary, Atlanta. That was

75
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: one that was it was close, but it didn't come

76
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: down to the final play. Then you had Kansas City.

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: The Texans had to get that fourth down on a

78
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: fourth down. Oh yeah, the fourth down play with just

79
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: under the two minute warning that sealed it against Kansas City.

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Indianapolis went down to the very final thirty seconds of

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: the game with the interception that Darius Leonard had. Then

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: you had the Oakland Raiders which went down to the

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: final the final seconds as well. And then you had

84
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: the game in Jacksonville which kind of fell into the

85
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: Atlanta on That was from beginning to end it was

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: a it was it was a beatdown. It was a beatdown,

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: and it was a sweep of the Jacksonville Jaguars beat

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: him here, beat him in London. It's kind of nice.

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: I missed a trip to Jacksonville, oh be honest. But

90
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: so when I went back and I kind of looked

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: at the ultimate eleven plays on a single amount, it

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: was tough because I had to lead some stuff on

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: the cutting room floor. So I had eleven and then

94
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: I also had some honorable mention. So we'll put all

95
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: that together in our second hour of the show. So

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: I got that for you. But let's get our show

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: kicked off with some hot reads and they brought do

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: you buy Geico? Fifteen minutes? Coulda you're fifteen percent or

99
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: more on car in shirts. So let's tap into your

100
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,119
Speaker 1: auditory sense over the next I don't know, ten twelve

101
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: minutes or so, and let's hear from Romeo CRENELLDPC A

102
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: chess go one on one when the assistant coaches had

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: a Bill Billy earlier this week, here's deep with right,

104
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: all right, coach, first half of the season a little

105
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: bit more than the first half of the season underway,

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: What sort of things have you liked about what the

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: defense has been able to do, obviously stopping the run

108
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: being top on that list, but what have you liked someone? Well,

109
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: I think the improvement from the early part of the season,

110
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: the early games to where we are now has been good.

111
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 1: And we have to continue to improve the second half.

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: And you know, every year you got a new team,

113
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: a new unit, and they begin to come together. And

114
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: I think our guys are beginning to come together and

115
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: know where the weaknesses are, where where help is needed

116
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: and so and able to do that. So if we

117
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: can continue to improve, that'll be good for us. How

118
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: about the secondary Obviously the big story being all the

119
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: injuries there, but you've had a number of guys come

120
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: in and step up and really do their part. How

121
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: how have you guys adjusted all the injuries and what

122
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: do you hope to get out of the buye week

123
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: when they maybe returned. Well, hopefully we'll get them healthy

124
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: so that we can have everybody on the field, because

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: there are some, you know, good players that are injured

126
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: right now. But the ones who are out there, they

127
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: stepped up and they've done their part and so and

128
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: that's what we kind of teach next man up, and

129
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: so they buy into it and prepare and are able

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: to make plays and help us win. You've had a

131
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: number of rookies really step up this first stretch of

132
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: the season. I know you say rookies make rooking mistakes,

133
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: but if any really jumped out to you through nine weeks, well,

134
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: they still make rookie mistakes, but they're making a contribution.

135
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a team guy, and everybody does

136
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: their part, and so if they keep doing their part,

137
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: they'll get plenty of recognition. A little bit further ahead,

138
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: Baltimore on the on the horizon, what do you see

139
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: at a Lamar Jackson and with your defense, what challenges

140
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: that they're going to have facing him? Well, you know,

141
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: in the highlights I've seen on television, he is a

142
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: dynamic athlete, looks like he's a dynamic leader as well,

143
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: and so it's going to be a great challenge for us.

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: But this week I'm going to try to relax and

145
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: enjoy this week and then start the preparation, you know,

146
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: when we get back to work. Any advice for your

147
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: guys heading into the bye week, take care of your bodies,

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: relax also, but be ready when you come back. dB

149
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: also had a chance to catch up with wide receivers

150
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: coach John Perry. All Right, John, first nine weeks in

151
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: the books. When you look back at your wide receiver group,

152
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: what have you liked of what you've seen out of

153
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: them so far? In the chemistry they've really developed. I

154
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is how hard they've worked, you know,

155
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: to really have that chemistry with the sean And that's

156
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: really very exciting for a coach to watch that all

157
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: come together because you know, you know what they've put

158
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: in behind the scene, and then to really see it

159
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: come to fruition on game day and in the big moments,

160
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: that's exciting. You have a guy like Kenny Stills come

161
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: in just before the start of the season and really

162
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: helped out, especially with Will Fuller being injured. How much

163
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: does that help DeAndre Hopkins and everyone else? It's just good.

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: Like we talked about bringing Kenny in was you know,

165
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: he's that added dimension that we've been really looking for,

166
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the guy who can really plug and play at a

167
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: lot of different positions. You know, he's a guy who

168
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: can play on the outside, he can play on the inside.

169
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: He has speed, but he's also a really good route runner.

170
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: So all those things combined really make him a huge

171
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: addition to what we're doing. I know we always ask

172
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: about DeAndre Hopkins and how I'm pressure with him so far,

173
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: But how much does having a guy like that really

174
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: help everyone in your room? What's he like in the

175
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. He's fantastic. He's great on game day, He's

176
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: great in the meeting rooms. He brings a lot of

177
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: experience to the younger guys and to you know, when

178
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: a guy like Kenny come in or you know last year,

179
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: when new guys come into the room, he's the guy

180
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: who embraces those guys right away, and you know, it's

181
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: just it's exciting when you see that because you need

182
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: that kind of leadership in every room, and he brings

183
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: that to our room without question. What about Will Fuller?

184
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys get him back here in the second

185
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: half of the season, But what have you seen out

186
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: of him so far, and especially when he's healthy and

187
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: available to you on the field, how much has that

188
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: changed the game? He really brings an added dimension to everything.

189
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's the guy that can blow the top

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: off things. But you know, when defenses start really keying

191
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: on hop you know, he's a guy who makes those

192
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: big plays and you see that time and time again.

193
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: I mean in the big games that he's had. You know,

194
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: if they want to add extra attention to DeAndre, then

195
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna make your pay and he's done that. And

196
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: so hopefully he gets healthy and if we get him

197
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: back out there, you know, he'll be a huge lift

198
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: for what we're trying to do. Bill just said, it's

199
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: a really competitive group. Stephen Mitchell, Keiki qt with with

200
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: Kiki trying to get on the field and everyone else

201
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: in that group, what is it going to take to

202
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: sort of for that last receiver to sort of make

203
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: his way onto the field before? Do you think, Well,

204
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: when these guys come to practice every day and they

205
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: really detail their work, and I mean, that's really what

206
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: it comes down to. It's like, we have such good

207
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: talent in the room that you can put any one

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: of these guys out there, and I know DeShawn has

209
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in each one of these guys.

210
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: So you know, it really comes down to the guys

211
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: who are going to really detail their work and that

212
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: makes the team better when you have when you have

213
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: a competitive group, it makes the whole team better, and

214
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: that's what's happening right now. We're really excited about it.

215
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: Aren't any advice heading into the bye week? Eat a

216
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: lot of body Scotch putting. Now. I am not opposed

217
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: to butter Scott's putting any way, shape or form. But

218
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: if that's the secret Sauce, I guess we can go

219
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: in that direction, I guess, Coach, I don't know. We'll

220
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: have to figure that out now. One of my good

221
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: friends over here with the Texans is man by name

222
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: of Tyler Suttarth, and he is a he's extraordinary, shoots edits.

223
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: Everything he puts together after every win something called Relive It,

224
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: and it's something in which you really need to see it.

225
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: But I closed my eyes as it was playing today

226
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know this, it's pretty cool to

227
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: listen to because it's a mixture of player interviews, players

228
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: coming off the field, on the field, pregame. It's really

229
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: cool to listen to the players and the coaches and

230
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: Mark and Andre and me and all the things that

231
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: go into it. And Sudds puts it together in this

232
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: video called Relive It. And I saw the one after

233
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: the Kan's City game. I was like, Sudds. This thing

234
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: is phenomenal. I want to play this. This thing is

235
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: really really good, so let's relive it. The win over

236

309
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: a little bit this weekend, which just gotta nice. But

310
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: that does not mean that there isn't football. There's plenty

311
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: of it. Starting the college rank. By the way, Penn

312
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: State Minnesota, you've got that at eleven number four verses seventeen,

313
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: you've got one versus two LSU vers Alabama at two thirty.

314
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: You got Clemson playing after that six thirty, and then

315
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday, you've got a slay to NFL games. Now,

316
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: each and every week, I predict these straight up and

317
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: it gets the spread. And I do it not really

318
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: as a tip sheet sort of thing or like Stu

319
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: Finer and all those guys. Let me tell you what

320
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna do with your money. I've got the Lock

321
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: of the Year. No I don't. I don't do that.

322
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: In fact, those guys give Locks of the Year every week,

323
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: so not really sure they do that, but that's them.

324
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: This is me. I like going around the NFL talking

325
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: about the games and talking about the teams that you're

326
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: gonna see who you should be rooting for in some

327
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: sense if you're a Texans fan, and then I give

328
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: a final prediction. So let's do it. Let's get into

329
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: our predictions. But I need my music, maestro, please, there

330
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: it is all right. Let's start with our Neon games.

331
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: All the London games are over some eight thirty game

332
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: like the Texas ted last week. You can wake up

333
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: a little later after a long day watching counts football

334
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: on Saturday and check out these games. Let's start with

335
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: the Lions and the Bears in Chicago. Mitchell Trubisky has

336
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: asked me the TV is to be turned off in

337
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: the house. Hall. I don't disagree with him. I really

338
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: don't want to be honest. The Bears are three in

339
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: five and maybe maybe the biggest disappointed in football. I

340
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: can promise you the Chicago Bears felt like this was

341
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: the year. The fans of the Bears felt that way.

342
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: The Bears felt that way. This was the year, and

343
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: it's not, at least not right now now. Three and

344
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: five is not the death knew, but over in the NFC, yeah,

345
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: it's not great. But the Bears take on the Lions.

346
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: The Lions are three four and one. Now this game

347
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: does not have a line, but I feel like it's

348
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: desperation time for the Bears. So I'm rolling Bears to

349
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: beat the Lions at home. They've got to get a win.

350
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: It's a big one for them if they want any

351
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: chance to get in that wildcard mix. Three and five

352
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: is not out of it. It's not great, but it's

353
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: not out of it. I think the Bears will go

354
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: to four and five and get a win over the

355
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: Lions in Soldier Field. The Ravens take on the Bengals. Now,

356
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens are next week's opponent for your Texans. The

357
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: Ravens are six and two fresh off a pasting of

358
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, and the Patriots are on a

359
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: bye this week along with the Texans of Jaguars, the Eagles,

360
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: the Redskins, Broncos. So we've got a little a fewer

361
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: games this week. But either way, the Ravens six and

362
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: two scored thirty seven on the Patriots. That was the

363
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: number one defensive league. Now they're going to Cincinnati. The

364
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: Ravens are only favored by nine and a half. Now

365
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals will start rookie Ryan Finley. Went into the

366
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: bye week last week and Zach Taylor said, we're going Finley,

367
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: the third draft pick from NC State. I think that

368
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: could go poorly. Him. By poorly, I mean really badly.

369
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm taking Baltimore to smash They're gonna smash the Bengals. Now,

370
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: when you have games in division, sometimes you see one

371
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: and go, man, how did insert team A even play

372
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: close to Team B. When you get into vision and

373
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: you know teams so well. Sometimes they have a better

374
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: idea how to stop you, how to slow you down, etc.

375
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm still going with the Ravens. Big. No Andy Dalton,

376
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: and look it's not as if Andy Dalton was MVP level,

377
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: but Ryan Finley being thrown to the Ravens Wolves, no

378
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: thank you. Ravens go to seven and two, setting up

379
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: that gargant you win game next week against the Texans

380
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: at six and three. Mark Jackson has a solid day,

381
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: mark Ingram runs it well. The Ravens. I'm sorry. The

382
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Bengals don't stop anybody in the Ravens gonna win five

383
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: more than nine and a half. Road Road a favorite.

384
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: Don't love it, but I don't love the Bengals at all.

385
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: The Bills and the Browns. The Bills are six and two,

386
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: the Browns are two and six. The Browns are favored

387
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: by two and a half. Now, something feels wrong with that,

388
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: but I think it goes to show that Vegas looks

389
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: at the Bills and says, look, you guys haven't played anybody,

390
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: and the teams you have you've lost to. The Eagles

391
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: came into Buffalo, pounded you. The Patriots came in and

392
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: you really shut down your offense. We don't trust you

393
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: just yet. That that's what that two and a half

394
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: points being favored by the Browns is saying. And people

395
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: expect the Browns at some point to kind of get

396
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: on track. Kareem Hunt looks as if he will play

397
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: for the Browns. That'll give a little Nick Chubb Kareem

398
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: Hunt one two punch, which maybe that's what the Cleveland

399
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: Browns need. Maybe this doesn't need to be Baker Mayfield's show.

400
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: Maybe Baker needs just needs to be part of it.

401
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: For right now, I'm gonna take Cleveland the witness game.

402
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: I think Clevelands gonna knock off the Bills, dropping the

403
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: six and three, and Cleveland's gonna win and cover that

404
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: two and a half point spread. The Browns will go

405
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: to three and six. I'm going with the Browns in

406
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: that one. Chiefs go to Tennessee and Patrick Mahomes will

407
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: play Casey's favored by six and a half. I have

408
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: said for the last three years, I think Tennessee is

409
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: no better than nine at seven. They're good enough to

410
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: be nine to seven, they're not good enough to get

411
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: above nine and seven. This is one of those games

412
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: where it feels like the Titans are gonna rise up

413
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: and one just one time at home in Nashville. They've

414
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: beaten some good teams in Nashville. They beat us last year.

415
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: Obviously we were eleven and five. That was one of

416
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: our losses in Nashville. They beat the Eagles, the defending

417
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs. Last year in Nashville, they hammered the

418
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: eventual Super Bowl champions New England Patriots at home. This

419
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: feels like a game where the Titans can do that

420
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: to a degree. So I'm gonna take the Chiefs to win,

421
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: but the Titans to get inside that six and a half.

422
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: I think this will day a little bit closer than

423
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: people think. No Malcolm Butler for the Titans. He was

424
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: placed on ir So the Chiefs will throw it a

425
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: little bit, but I'm not sure that the Chiefs will

426
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: eventually stop the Titans running game. I think this stays close,

427
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: and this feels like twenty seven, twenty four, thirty one,

428
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: twenty eight. The Titans keep it close and get inside

429
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: the six and a half, but the Chiefs will win.

430
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: The Falcons one at seven go to the Saints seven

431
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: and one. New Orleans favored by thirteen and a half

432
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: yuck Saints by two touchdowns. They'll cover and win. Giants

433
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: two and seven, Jets one and seven. Oh my god,

434
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: really really, Oh, I don't know what's worse. One to

435
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: seventeen playing a seven to one team or two and

436
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: seven playing a one to seven. Let's go. God, wait,

437
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: Darnald against Danny Dimes as they call him, this is brutal.

438
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Giants at home. They're at home,

439
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: they're the road team. So hell, I'm gonna let you

440
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: figure that one out. Leonard Williams plays his former team.

441
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: Let's go with the Giants to cover that two and

442
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: a half. That's just prue. That's even hard to talk

443
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: about Cardinals and the Buccaneer. I mean, really, Cardinals three

444
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: to five and one, go to Tampa Bay two and six.

445
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is favored by four and a half. I'm

446
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna roll at Tampa Bay at home, even though I

447
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: never know what to expect from Jameis Winston, and I

448
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: think Bruce arians, head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

449
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,239
Speaker 1: doesn't know what to think about Jamis Winston. He's up,

450
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: he's down. We go down there in December. Can give

451
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: me the starting quarterback. He could throw five interceptions, he

452
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: could throw five touchdowns. No one has any clue, and

453
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: that's been the problem with Jameis Winston. But I'm gonna

454
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: roll with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers getting a win and

455
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: covering that four and a half against the Cardinals. The

456
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins are going to the Colts. The spread was ten

457
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: been taking off the board. I think something that has

458
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: to do with ja Kobe Brissette and Brissette plays that

459
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: thinks should be seventeen points, and I'll lay the seventeen.

460
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: Miami doesn't go in Indianapolis and getting win, They're not

461
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: even getting to cover. The Indianapolis Coats will pound the Dolphins,

462
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: simple as that. All right, let's get to the later

463
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: afternoon evening games. Well that that Coats game is, but

464
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: that just doesn't count really. The Panthers going to the Packers.

465
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: The Packers a favored by four and a half. The

466
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: defense has shown some cracks, but Kyle Allen is the

467
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: guy and he's gonna be the guy all year long.

468
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: I think that'll help him a little bit. But Christian

469
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: McCaffrey has taken up pounding this year. But I think

470
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: against the Packers, they're gonna need him. They're gonna need

471
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: thirty five to thirty seven touches. Thirty seven touches is

472
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: what he had here against the Houston Texans. They're gonna

473
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: need that. But it doesn't matter. The Packers get off

474
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: the mat, they get back home to Lambeau and they're

475
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: gonna get a touchdown or more victory over the Carolina

476
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: Panthers to move to eight and two. The Packers just

477
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: got pounded by the Chargers last week. I mean inexplicable.

478
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't even close. Rams go across the count Tree

479
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: to face the Steelers, and the Steelers are hot, need

480
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 1: the Rams to win. If the Rams are favored by

481
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: three and a half, the Rams are not the Colts.

482
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: The Steelers had every break go their way in that

483
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: game against the Colts. The Vinetarry miss at the end,

484
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: Brian Horror going in the game a Horrior picks six

485
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: throwe Horrier did play pretty well though for the most party.

486
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: We will say Zach Pascal's turned into a really nice

487
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: receiver for them. But the Rams are going to get

488
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: this win and cover that three and a half. It's

489
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: not a one o'clock Eastern game. It's a four o'clock

490
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: Eastern game. Those three hours will help the Rams will

491
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: get this win over the Steelers. Would really like to

492
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: see the Steelers just just go off the wayside, because

493
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: if the Steelers start getting hot, there are enough players

494
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball and enough offensive

495
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: pieces to make it tough no matter where you play them.

496
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: When you play them. Texans don't but I just don't

497
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: like seeing the Steelers getting the mix at all in

498
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: the AFC. Rams gonna get that win. They'll cover at

499
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: three and a half. Vikings v. Cowboys Sunday Night Football.

500
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Vikings six and three, Cowboys five and three. The Cowboys

501
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: bounced back with a Monday Night win over the Giants,

502
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: and it wasn't close. Black Cat came on the field

503
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: and then everything went the Cowboys way after that. This

504
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: is about the point last year where the Cowboys put

505
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: this thing in fifth gear, got in the left lane

506
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: and went about one hundred and twenty five miles an

507
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: hour until they ran it to the Rams indivisional playoff game.

508
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: Last year, I think that's what happens again. The Vikings

509
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: played extremely well against the Chiefs until the end when

510
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs made just won too many plays, So the

511
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: Vikings took l an arrowhead. Now they gotta go to

512
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: Dallas on Sunday night. I think Dallas doesn't route the Vikings,

513
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: but Dallas does get a win by more than two

514
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: and a half. So let's go with the Cowboys to

515
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: win and cover on Sunday night. And then finally, finally

516
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: a Monday night football game worth watching. I went back

517
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: and I looked at the Monday night football games that

518
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: we've had, and I said this to Mark, just kind

519
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: off handed. They said, you know, Mark, the game we

520
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: played against the Saints is the best Monday Night game

521
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: all year. That happened in the first part of the

522
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: double header in Week one, and there was a game

523
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: the Lions and Packers was pretty good. Every other game

524
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: has just been garbage, hot garbage. This Monday Night a

525
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: little different story. The Seahawks go to the forty nine Ers.

526
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: This is massive out in the NFC West, and San

527
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: Francisco is favored by six and a half. That with

528
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson on the other end is too rich for me.

529
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: The Seahawks, I think we're looking ahead a little bit.

530
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: Had to go to overtime to beat Tampa Bay last week.

531
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks are gonna step up and play

532
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: maybe the best football they've played all year. They will

533
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: not win, but they will keep this thing close. It

534
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: will be inside the six and a half. Niners will

535
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: go to nine and ozer, but it might take a

536
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: late field goal or a late score to do it.

537
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: The Seahawks cover, but the Niners get the all important win.

538
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: So there you go, prettiction, straight up and against the spread. Now,

539
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: Texans have got seven games left starting next Sunday. What

540
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: are the keys to those seven weeks? We'll do our

541
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: first community Credit Union first glance keys to the rest

542
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,120

Speaker 1: but get on out if you're driving around going, man,

Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? Which I do tonight, go

552
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: find a local high school game and get to it.

553
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm always in here doing the show, so I didn't

554
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: one night I recorded the show, and every year I'm

555
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: asked by my daughter's school, will you do the play

556
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: by play announcing for our homecoming game? And I look

557
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: forward to it every year. I love it. And as

558
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: obviously where I got my start, I was coaching in

559
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: high school and worked worked my way up, if you will,

560
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: to get to the NFL. Not coaching anymore, but high

561
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: school football is great. So if y'all get out there

562
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: and follow the high school teams, go watch a playoff game.

563
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: Playoff football here in Texas is just incredible. It's absolutely

564
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: mind blowing. So get on out there and watch them

565
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: Texas high school football because it I would would tell

566
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: you I didn't get any better than that. I mean,

567
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: Texas going to the super Bowl would be better than anything,

568
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: but Texas high school playoff fotball is. It's incredible, really incredible.

569
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: So you got that to look forward to. You got

570
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: a great slate of games in college on Saturday. I

571
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: mentioned that a little bit earlier. You've got Minnesota hosting

572
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: Penn State, both teams undefeated. You've got LSU going to

573
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: Alabama one versus two. That's gonna be a phenomenal game.

574
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like two a tongue Volo is gonna

575
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: play quarterbacks. So you got two up versus Joe Burrow

576
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: could be a heck of a game. And I don't

577
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: know that it'll be like the twenty eleven game where

578
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: the offense has barely got beyond midfield because the defenses

579
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: were so done good. The defenses are good, they've got talent,

580
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: but these offenses for LSU and Alabama are incredible, absolutely phenomenal.

581
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: So you got all of that to look forward to

582
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and then you got full slate of games

583
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: on Sunday, except that you don't have the Texans playing.

584
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: They picked back up against the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday

585
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. It'll be a one pm Eastern twelve Newton game. Now,

586
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people have asked, well, why didn't that

587
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: game get flexed? Why didn't that game get flexed in

588
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: the Sunday night. First of all, the Sunday night game

589
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: is the Rams Bears, so you have had that going

590
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: on on Sunday. At next Sunday night, it's La Chicago

591
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: to you. Now, last year that game was garbage. It

592
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: was one of those boring games all year, unless if

593
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: you like defense, if you love defense, and you loved

594
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: it because the Bears were incredible. The other aspect of

595
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: it is the Texans play on a Thursday night back here,

596
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: So having a Sunday night, you get back in dark

597
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: thirty Monday morning, and now you gotta get ready to

598
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: play a Thursday night game. I mean that's not even fair.

599
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's hard enough to play a noon

600
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Slash one Eastern game and then turn around and play

601
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday, especially when you're traveling. But so the game

602
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: didn't get flexed. It will stay where it is twelve

603
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: noon Sunday next Sunday, which will end up being the

604
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: seventeenth taken on both braves. Now, with seven games left

605
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: to go, what are the keys to those seven games? Well,

606
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: each and every week I give you the first Community

607
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: Credit Union First Glance Keys the games brought to you BYCCU,

608
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: the official Credit Union of the House to Texans. I'm

609
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: gonna get into some keys over the final seven weeks.

610
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: There's some things, some I don't know, nuanced sort of

611
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: things with the schedule, I guess over the last few weeks.

612
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: If you don't recall, here's the schedule. When we get back.

613
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: It starts at Baltimore on a Sunday, Then the following

614
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: Thursday we play home, and it starts a three game

615
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: homestand home Colts Thursday night, then Sunday Night Football, which

616
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: I believe is December first against the New England Patriots.

617
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Then the eighth is at home against the Denver Broncos.

618
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: The fifteenth we are on the road to Tennessee, and

619
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: then the weekend of the twenty first, twenty second. I

620
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: don't think that's been totally determined yet, the Texans will

621
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa and then

622
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: finish with the Titans back here. So seven games. Keys

623
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: to those seven games? All right, let's start off insively.

624
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: Number one. I think the one thing that has been

625
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: a big key that's been lacking for the offense, if

626
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: you want to say that. Now, they've scored. They scored

627
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: twenty three in a lost Indianapolis, they scored twenty seven,

628
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: and a win over Oakland. They scored twenty six last week.

629
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: Those are not that's not chump change. If you think

630
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen. I think they got to twenty

631
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: seven once or twice, So those were solid performances for

632
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: this offense. They scored thirty one in Kansas City, fifty

633
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: three against Atlanta. But the one thing they haven't had

634
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: is that vertical component down the field. Now against Indianapolis,

635
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: Michelle Watson Didny Kenny Stills for a deep ball down

636
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: the field. And this really isn't all about Will Fuller

637
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: not being in the game, but it is partially about

638
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: Will Fuller not being healthy enough to be in the game.

639
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: Will's speed down the field changes things. You saw that

640
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: against Atlanta. It changes things. Teams must respect that speed.

641
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: So offensive key vertical component added back to the offense

642
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: when they had it with Will early on in the

643
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: year New Orleans deep down the field with that fifty

644
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: four yard catch against Atlanta. Almost every time Will caught

645
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: a pass, it was deep down the field. That just

646
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: adds that much more to this offense. Number Two key

647
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: getting Laramie Tunso back to this offensive line healthy or

648
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: as healthy as you can be at this point of

649
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: the year for offensive linement, because those guys get beat up.

650
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: But getting that offensive line back together is key. Starting

651
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: Laramie tuns left tackle, left guard Max Sharping, Nick Martinet, center,

652
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: right guard Zach Fuld, and right tackle Titus Howard. When

653
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: that five has been together, and it started in the

654
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: Chargers game, that's really when this offense took another step.

655
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: Deshaan was not sacked against Atlanta, he'd get the offensive

656
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: line gay up I think one sack maybe sack and

657
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: a half to the Chargers and off a defensive line

658
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: and defensive edge rushers that are extremely good. Then last

659
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: week there's no Laramie, but Titus's back. They gave up

660
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: one sack to the Jaguars. But when that five that

661
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: quinted has been together, this offense has taken off the

662
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: tight ends getting involved in the passing game a little

663
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: bit more because those five guys are given the opportunity

664
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: to handle the four that are rushing for the most part,

665
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: so the tight ends can they don't have to they

666
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: don't have to sit in and block, they can get

667
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: out in the routes running backs and get out and routes.

668
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: Having those five guys back on the offensive line massive.

669
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: Now hopefully Laramie is able to go. He's had a

670
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: couple more weeks of rest after injuring that shoulder late

671
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: in the game against Oakland, and hopefully he'll be ready

672
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: to go. But that five with Laramie, Max Nick, Zach Titus,

673
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: it's a group not only for the next seven weeks,

674
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: but for the next at least four or five years.

675
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: That's a group that can be together for a while.

676
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: That's where we need to see offensively, that offensive line

677
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: being back together. And third, the talk the last couple

678
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: weeks has been about Kiki Qt getting back in in

679
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: the offense, getting him involved. I will admit that I

680
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: don't know that he is him specifically is the answer,

681
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: but I think getting that slot component a little bit

682
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: more involved in the offense. The tight ends have been

683
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: such a big factor because of the RPO game, but

684
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: I think another layer being peeled back of this offense

685
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: is getting the slot receivers Stevie Mitchell, Keiki Qt, DeAndre Carter,

686
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: getting those guys involved in the offense, in the passing

687
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: game so the Texans don't have to go to that

688
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: RPO game every time they want to have this little short,

689
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: quick completion to Darren Fells or Jordan Nakins. But I

690
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: think kek ends up being a key in that because

691
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: I think he's probably the most capable of being that

692
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: guy in the slot. But gotta get him healthy, gotta

693
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: have him back ready to go, and make sure that

694
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: he is on point and where this offense needs to be.

695
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: So those are those would be my three offensive keys

696
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: for the last seven games. Defensively, I think they started

697
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: to show a little bit against the Jacksonville Jaguars that yes, J. J.

698
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: Watt's not here, but we can't cry in our spilled

699
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: milk about it. We've got to move on. So key

700
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: number one and I'm gonna steal a little bit from

701
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: what we saw against Jacksonville. Keep spinning the four man

702
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: rush combination. And what I mean by that, One of

703
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: coach O'Brien's favorite phrases that he uses with us is

704
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: called spin the dial, and the meaning of that is

705
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: for Romeo crennell to spin the dial, meaning don't get

706
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: locked into base cover four or you know whatever. You know.

707
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: Ours used to be base cover three. Whenever we got

708
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: in trouble defensively, my coach would just go base cover three.

709
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: Base Cover three. Now when we just played our bass

710
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: defense and we played cover three and that's what we did. Well,

711
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,479
Speaker 1: you can't do that in the NFL, you've got to

712
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: keep things moving. Base Cover three might be great for

713
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: one two plays, but you can get stuck in it

714
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: because teams are gonna figure it out. You gotta spin

715
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: the dial. You gotta spin and find something different, and

716
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: hopefully you're gonna find something different. Play different covers, play

717
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: different front I'm saying to do that with the defensive

718
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: lineman at edge rushers between Brennan Scarlett, Jake Martin, Whitney Merciless,

719
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: DJ Reader, Angelo Blackson, those guys, Brandon Dunne, Charles Amenta.

720
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: Who how many guys have I listed eight? The different

721
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: combinations of those guys together, they say, Brandon Scarlett, I

722
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: hope I did. Keep changing them up, keep bringing different guys.

723
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: Put Scarlett next to Chuck, next to DJ, with Wit

724
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 1: on the other side. Then bring in Jake Martin, bump

725
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Scarlett down inside. Keep spinning the dial on those combinations,

726
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: because with those four guys, they can be different guys,

727
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: and they've all been productive rushing to quarterback. Now a

728
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: couple of them can do different things. Chuck can rush

729
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: from the outside and the inside. Jake Martin, you want

730
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: rushing from the outside. That guy is speed, speed, and

731
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: more speed. So there's something Brandon Scarlett can rush from

732
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: the inside if he has to. Whitney has shown over

733
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: the years he can rush over the center that spin

734
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: movie he's got. But keep changing up the groups on

735
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: the inside for the pass rush. Never let an offensive

736
00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: line get comfortable against it. JJ was gonna play one spot.

737
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: Now he could move around, and they would actually move

738
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: him around a little bit, but he was moving around

739
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: based on this scheme. There was a lot of loops,

740
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: some twists and stunts to get JJ free up the middle.

741
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: They allotted that against the Colts. So those are some

742
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: of the things they did. Now they're just gonna have

743
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: to change up the groups. Do some of the same things,

744
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: but do that change the combination on the lock if

745
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: you will. Second key defensively has to do with the

746
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: inside linebackers Zach Cunningham and Bernardrick McKinney, and let's throw

747
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 1: in Dylan Cole. These guys have been outstanding, but they

748
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: will get tested this game against Baltimore. In particular, this

749
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: is one of the more important games the Texas will

750
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: play all year. It's one of the more unique offenses.

751
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 1: The Texans are gonna face. No three players are gonna

752
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: be on the spot more than those three because the

753
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens will put the inside linebackers in conflict for

754
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: most of this game. Those guys in that game, in

755
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: particular are gonna get challenged. Then the following week they

756
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: play the Colts, so they gotta cover Naim Hines out

757
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: of the backfield. They gotta try and tackle Marlon Mack.

758
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: They gotta handle the screen passes, all those crossing routes

759
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: on their spot drops. Then after that it's the Patriots

760
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: that throw all kinds of things at them. Those three

761
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: inside linebackers are gonna be on the spot and be

762
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: put on the spot. They've got to be as sharp

763
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: as humanly possible for all the different things they're gonna

764
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: see in these next three games after to buy and last,

765
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: it's certainly not least when you start getting back Bradley

766
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: Roby and Jota Joseph at one hundred percent, and to

767
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: Sean Gibson and Lonnie Johnson added into carry on Conley

768
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: what you have in the secondary, same thing earlier. With

769
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: the combination of guys up front, you're gonna have to

770
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: spin the dial with the corners. You gotta find the

771
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: exact matchup you want. You've got some lengthened size with

00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: of a vet in Jonathan Joseph. Having all of them

775
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: back and being able to utilize them the way you

776
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: want is gonna be a major key or the final

777
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: seven games of the year. All right, we get back.

778
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: It's our ultimate eleven plays of the first half of

779
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: the year, including some honorable mention candidates as well. It's

780
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: one of my favorite hours of radio to do. Hope

Speaker 1: you like it. Who have that for you? Next? We

782
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: got one hour down and one hour to go on

783
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: this Friday edition at Texans All Access. I am your host,

784
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst's sideline reporter, and it's the last

785
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 1: Texans All Access before a bye week. And I've done

786
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: this each and every year, and I figured, you know

787
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,479
Speaker 1: what's good time is any team is six and three

788
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: had some really incredible moments, and I thought, you know what,

789
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: let's go Let's go back and let's look at the

790
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: ultimate eleven plays of the first nine games of the year.

791
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: Because there have been some unbelievable plays and moments for

792
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: this organization. Throughout this year, six and three played some

793
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: of the great quarterbacks in the NFL, played some incredible games,

794
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: some of the better games in the NFL this year.

795
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean the first game against the Saints was it's

796
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: been the best game on Monday Night football. I know that.

797
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know that a game on Monday and

798
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: Football has been close. It's been in an up and

799
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: down Buffy ride. But man, there have been some moments.

800
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: So I figured, why not on this Friday, with this

801
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: last hour, why not look back? Why I do a

802
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: little bit of Texans Replay and Texans All Access at

803
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: the same time. Why don't we do that? I felt

804
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: like that'd be pretty fun. So let's start number eleven.

805
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: We'll do this throughout the last hour of the show.

806
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: So let's start at number eleven with a guy that

807
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal this year in the defense side of

808
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: the ball, and that's Whitney. Merciless, just amazing. Now. He

809
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 1: he had four I think what three or four weeks

810
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: in a row. He had been piling up sacks on everybody.

811
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: It didn't matter who it was, he was getting sacks.

812
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: And everybody, and most of them strip sacks. The most

813
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: important one I say important. I guess it's probably important

814
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: when you strip it and then recover it. But a

815
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: lot of them he had been stripping, and then they

816
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: weren't recovering. But against Jacksonville, in a game that here

817
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: an energy stadium that was low scoring, very low scoring,

818
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: any big play could flip the momentum one way or

819
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: the other, and a six to three game, well, I

820
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: was about to be thirteen to three, not on this

821
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: particular play, but this play led to that thirteen to

822
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: three lead. The jack said first in twenty after I

823
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 1: believe it was a holding call, moved it back first

824
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: and twenty, and Whitney Merciless cranked up the rush train

825
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: and he was coming, and Gardner Minshew, starting for the

826
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: first time all year, didn't see him coming. Whitney knocked

827
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands, and then the ball

828
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: was down in a mosh pit. And I'm telling you,

829
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: there were two Jaguars and there was one Texan that

830
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: was JJ Watt. There were six hands. I'm really even

831
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: kind of five because I don't know JJ got both

832
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: hands there, but JJ's right hand reached in and just

833
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: snatched that ball out of there and gave the ball

834
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: to the Texans. Shan Watson would carried in a few

835
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: plays later, and they would take a thirteen to three

836
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: lead against the Jags at that point. In a thirteen

837
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: to twelve win. At play number eleven, Whitney Merciless strip

838
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:56,240
Speaker 1: sack versus Jacksonville helps put the Texans on the board

839
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: with a touchdown for the first time all day, which

840
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: been great this first half the year. Here's played number

841
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: eleven for Whitney, Merciless, twenty for the Jags. From there

842
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: twenty Minshew calling signal, here's the snap, Minshew looking. Here

843
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: comes Merciless and Whitney brings them down. The ball is

844
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: out another scrum. The Texans say they have it, and

845
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: they do. JJ Watts somehow, somehow, some way came out

846
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: of the bottom of the pile with that football. I

847
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: don't know how, I honestly do not know how jj

848
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: wat came out of the bottom of the pile of

849
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: that football. But a few plays later, Shaan Watson would

850
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: carry it in, given the Texas a thirteen to three lead.

851
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: Everybody sort of breathe a si re leaf and then

852
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: Minshew mania took over in the fourth quarter and gave

853
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: the Jags a chance, but it wouldn't matter because the

854
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: Texans would end up holding. And you might hear that

855
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: in the ultimate eleven as well. Now number ten, I

856
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: started thinking about recent moments, as in the most recent

857
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: I thought about the defense. The defensive Jack's against Jacksonville

858
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: in London was just exceptional. But what really stood out, well,

859
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: how about the turnover fest in the fourth quarter. In

860
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter against Jacksonville and Gardner Minshew the first

861
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: drive in and on downs, Grant Conley knocked the pass

862
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: away from Chris Connley on the fourth and ten with

863
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: the score in nineteen to three, then a turnover fest ensued.

864
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: So at number ten, let's celebrate those four straight turnovers

865
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville in this twenty six to three win over

866
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: the Jacks. It started when as Jolilla Died told me

867
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: they were the three by one. They ran a deep

868
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: over out and I was gonna go for the big hit. Well,

869
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: then the ball came right into my arms. Number ten,

870
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: the first one on turnover fest is jolilla Dies first

871
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: interception as a Texan. I'm third and eighth from the

872
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: Houston at forty nine, gets the snap half time, fires

873
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: to half field, that's picked up by a tie jelly

874
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: all the time with the pick at the thirty two

875
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: yard line, He's brought down there by Cole and the

876
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Texans taken away. They took it away. Then Carlos Hyde

877
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: ran all the way down the field and the Jags

878
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: took it away. The very first play after they had

879
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: taken them all away first and ten, Gardner Mitchew went

880
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: back to pass turnover fest continued with this Justin Reid interception.

881
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: Minshew out of the gun, fires down field and this

882
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: is picked off by a read right side thirty cut

883
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: into his left twenty five twenty read three fifteen ten,

884
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: and a flag is down as Reid is gonna be

885
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: brought down inside the five. It's gonna stand. It's gonna

886
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: be a hold against Jacksonville. It was a hold against Jacksonville.

887
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: It was a hold on Juan Taylor's. Jacob Martin was

888
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: making his way to Gardner Mitchew to force that bad bro.

889
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: The Texans would score. Sean Watson would find DeAndre Hopkins

890
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: for the touchdown to make it twenty six to three.

891
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: So now the Jags are really really fighting up hill.

892
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: They made a couple of first downs, and then turnover

893
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: Fest continued as Gardner Minshew left the pocket one more time.

894
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: Minshew gets the snap, stepping up, Minshew wants to run

895
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: across the forty The ball is out and it's picked

896
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: up by Cuttingham to his right forty five fifty cutting

897
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: hand to the forty five of the Jaguars are down

898
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: at the forty three possessions, three takeaways as the Texans

899
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 1: defense is on fire and it wasn't done. Turnover Fest

900
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen had one final encore and it came on

901
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: the final play the game lockdown to one, Minshew just

902
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: gets the snap in time, stepping up Minshew after the

903
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,919
Speaker 1: left side Minshew the ball is out that it's picked

904
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: up by Cole Call's on the move across the forty

905
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: coal forty five and he's down at the forty seven

906
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,720
Speaker 1: yard line and the game is over. The Texans beat

907
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at Webley Stadium in front of ninety thousand, twenty

908
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: six three the final let Texans run there a record

909
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: to six and three heading into the bo Yes six

910
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: and three and getting ready for Baltimore. But those four

911
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: turnovers in Turnover Fest twenty nineteen four straight possessions in

912
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Actually the fifth was turnover on downs,

913
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: so technically that was the fifth turnover, turnover on downs, interception, interception, fumble,

914
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: fumble ball game. Man, that was fun, boy, that was

915
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: really fun. That was at number ten. Now number nine.

916
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: It's a two play sequence. They're back to back plays

917
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Let Texas didn't win this football game,

918
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: but down by six with I believe fifty seconds left,

919
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: with Deshaw Watson going on the field, I was I

920
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: was pumped, and I didn't really I don't want to

921
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: I want to say this right. I didn't really care

922
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: what happened. I just wanted to see it happen because

923
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to see number fourth the ball in his

924
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: hands with a chance to go down and win and

925
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: pull it out of the fire. Five six play drive.

926
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: Maybe you get it down inside of ten, fifteenth to

927
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: couple shots for the end zone. No, no, no, no,

928
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: that's not the way number four rolls. You guys know that,

929
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: And he showed us that with plays number nine, nine, A,

930
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: nine B, no one more important than the other. Texans

931
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: started to drive after a touchback, had the ball at

932
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: their twenty five yard line and then Shaun Watson went

933
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: to work. He looked for his good buddy DeAndre Hopkins

934
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: for one play, he looked for Kenny Stills on the

935
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: next at nine A here's Watson to the Hopkins that

936
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: got the drive going. And it's at number nine, burst

937
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: out text insically, here's the twenty five Watson of the

938
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: gun Texans down six fifty seconds to go. The Shawn

939
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: gets the snap, four man rush, Watson stepping up, he

940
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: heaves it downfield to his left and he's got DeAndre

941
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: Hopkins to his wrestle out of bounds. Did Saints territory wow?

942
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: At the thirty seven yard line? What a play? It

943
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: was a tremendous play. So now the Texans out of

944
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: the ball after thirty at the Saints thirty six yard line,

945
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 1: and they had plenty of time because hot makes the catch,

946
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: he gets out of bounds. They got plenty of time.

947
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: But the Shan Watson saw something he really liked. The

948
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: Saints were gonna gamble and bring the blitz, and that

949
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: was gonna put them in perilous man a man coverage

950
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: in the back end, and Kenny Stills was going to

951
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: make his emergence. The second part of number nine after

952
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: hopkins thirty eight yard catch, is this thirty six yard

953
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: touchdown catch on a wonderful throw by the Seawan Watson,

954
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: and this would give the Texans a twenty eight to

955
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven lead on first half on the Saints thirty seven.

956
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, the Sean firing down field and he's

957
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: got a man Stills touchdown Yost and oh my godness,

958
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: god we got that game was right there. But I'm

959
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: telling you, you could hear the crowd on Hopkins play

960
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: in particular, they had sort of they had sort of

961
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: quieted down a little bit for that play to Kenny

962
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: Stills because they were I think they were in shock, like,

963
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: oh my god, you think about it. The last time

964
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 1: they'd been in there, they had seen that that lack

965
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: of a pass interference call against the Rams. Then all

966
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they've they've they've landed some Haymakers in

967
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: the second half, and they're thinking, okay, we've knocked the

968
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: Texans out. And then Watson does that to Hopkins. They

969
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: they quieted down a little bit and then Stills make

970
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: that makes that catch, and it's set off euphoria on

971
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: the sidelines. You for you, because I think we went

972
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: into that game a lot of us thinking, ok, I

973
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: think we can compete with anybody, but it's a really

974
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: good football team on the other side. Can we do it?

975
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: And then they ran the ball pretty well at night.

976
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: I had some sacks, but they ran the ball pretty well.

977
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 1: Shaw made some play. They had a lead. The Saints

978
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: had to come back. It was twenty four to twenty

979
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: one late in the fourth quarter, but the defense held

980
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: to a fuel goal to make it twenty seven twenty

981
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: one instead of a touchdown, which would end of the game.

982
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: So you're down six, you still got a chance. Hopkins,

983
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,439
Speaker 1: then Stills from Watson gave them a chance. We'll look

984
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: back at that game years years from now and think

985
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: that was one of the better games I've ever seen.

986
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: It was incredible. At number nine, Watson finds Hopkins, Watson

987
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: finds Stills in the game in New Orleans on Monday

988
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: night was just an incredible, incredible environment that night when

989
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: the Texans took on the New Orleans Saints. All Right,

990
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: we're just getting going on our ultimate eleven plays of

991
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. We've got a rookie

992
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 1: making appearance. We've got a guy you've already heard actually

993
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: a couple of times you've heard, and then we have

994
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: one of the best receiver performances in the history of

995
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. All That next on Texans All Access.

996
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Friday edition of Texans All Access

997
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, Sean Harris,

998
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: football an ls A sideline reporter, and we're spending this

999
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: hour going back through the ultimate eleven plays of the

1000
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: first half of the year. Now I've done map before.

1001
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: I know that halfway through sixteen is eight, but the

1002
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: buye comes in week ten, so it's kind of first half,

1003
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,919
Speaker 1: second half, so deal with it. So it's the ultim

1004
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: eleven plays of the season thus far through the bye've

1005
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 1: done this every single year. It was a lot more

1006
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: difficult when we only had six games to pick from,

1007
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: I think in twenty seventeen. The last two years we've

1008
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: had to buy in week ten, so that's given me

1009
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to work with. Now we will

1010
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: have the rest of the Ultimate eleven or the rest

1011
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: of the show, but there are plenty of plays that

1012
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: ended up on the cutting room floor Onfortunately, it's just

1013
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 1: kind of the way it goes. You don't have room

1014
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: for everything, so you just well, you sort of deal

1015
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: with it, really and one of them happened the very

1016
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: first week of the year. It was great to see

1017
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 1: Will Fuller come back and make this fifty four yard catch.

1018
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: This made Ultimate eleven honorable mention, Tod that's the snap

1019
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: thanks to give plants in the end cell and fires

1020
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: deep daft field and here it's Faller. He makes the

1021
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: catch inside the faint forty yard line. Huge play Watson

1022
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: to Will Welcome back Fuller, Yes, welcome back? Are you

1023
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: kidding me? My goodness, it was great to see Will Fuller.

1024
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: How about this play from DJ Reader in the Kansas

1025
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: City game. Late in a game, Reader makes a TfL

1026
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 1: that gets the Chiefs off the field and the ball

1027
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: back to Deshaun Watson and the offense. Here's another honorable

1028
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: mentioned candidate from DJ Reader. Its Kansas City fourteenth for

1029
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs up there twenty one yard line. Mahomes hands

1030
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: off to McCoy right side and he's brought down short

1031
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage. DJ Reader LPC member and

1032
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: it's third down and long for Kansas City. And the

1033
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: crowd didn't like that call. Yeah, the crowd did not

1034
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: like that call. How about over the pond Carlos Hide

1035
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: went off. The Carlos Hyde revenge tour has just been sweet,

1036
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: by the way I mean, it has been fantastic. Carlos

1037
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: Hide blasting through a forty eight yard blasting through a

1038
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: huge hole four a forty eight yard run. Here is

1039
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: another honorable mentioned candidate for Ultimate eleven decade and two

1040
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: from the Houston twenty nine Watson of the gun handoff

1041
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: Hide looking for room right side has twenty thirty five

1042
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: forty the forty five to fifty eight to the right sideline.

1043
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: The forty the thirty five to thirty is still going

1044
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: and he's out of bounds in Jack's territory. Want a run?

1045
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: Bil Guappo, boil Quappo has been so good man, He

1046
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: has been absolutely fantastic. How About back to the Saints

1047
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: game Week one. Something happened in that game that doesn't

1048
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: happen often. Well, it never happened for Whitney Merciless, and

1049
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: it definitely doesn't happen to Drew Breese a lot an

1050
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: interception for Drew Breese by Whitney Merciless. This is also

1051
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: another honorable mentioned candidate. Sucking down in five across the

1052
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: Houston twelve yard line. Breeze drops back, Wat trying to

1053
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: get there. Breeze pumps. Breeze try to escape to the right.

1054
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: He's under pressure. He throws bits intercepted by Whitney Merciless

1055
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line. He's down at the six.

1056
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: The Texans turned back the Saints Breeze picked off. But

1057
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: that was a big one. That was a big one

1058
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: right there, and I wanted to save this one for

1059
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: the very end. This did not make the ultimate eleven,

1060
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: and it very well could have, but it was the

1061
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: last play of the twenty nineteen season for JJ Watt.

1062
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: It was a quintessential JJ Watt kind of play, knifing through,

1063
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: beating tramp Brown up the field and then tackling Josh Jacob.

1064
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,919
Speaker 1: Here is another honorable mentioned candidate, JJ Watt tackling Josh

1065
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Jacobs for a six yard tackle for a loss first

1066
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: down in twenty for the Raiders from their eighteen yard line.

1067
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: They're up fourteen seven. Here in the second car, handtopped

1068
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: up Jacobs, who's brought down on the backfield by j

1069
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: J Watt on TfL for JJ Tell you what JJ

1070
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Watt had been awesome this year? Has he had an

1071
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: awesome year. He really did. Oh but Johnny played JJ

1072
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: Watt through eight games was a phenomenal player. Phenomenal. I mean,

1073
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: I can't even begin to tell you how good he was.

1074
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: I got a text from buddy of mine who had

1075
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: gotten a text from a buddy of his who's the

1076
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: gym of the Colts, and was just shaking his head

1077
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: at how good Watt was. And I'll tell you this.

1078
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: In the Indianapolis game, Jobe said, had a good day.

1079
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: He had a really good day. And I hated that

1080
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: because he had a good day against US, but he

1081
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: had a good day against US. Payton Manning does a

1082
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: show on ESPM plus called Detail, and what he does

1083
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: is he goes through the film and he points out

1084
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: little details and it's really it's Peyton does a great job.

1085
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: It started with Kobe Bryant, and Kobe's done it, and

1086
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: now Peyton Manning does it. So Kobe doesn't the basketball side.

1087
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning does in the football side. And I just

1088
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: saw the first episode of Nick Saban the other day. Anyhow,

1089
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: he did the Details show on Jacoby Brissette that day

1090
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: and Peyton pointed out all the different times that JJ

1091
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: Watt was living in Jacobe Brissette's face. Basically, it was

1092
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: his dominant performance. I think I maybe I've ever seen

1093
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: from him, and I've seen every single one of them.

1094
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it was incredible. It was just incredible. I

1095
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: hate to see him go, but wanted to definitely celebrate

1096
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: that final play, which was a huge tackle for a

1097
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: loss on Josh Jacobs in the win over the Raiders

1098
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weekends, but go all right, let's get

1099
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: back to the ultimate eleven and we are at number eight.

1100
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: And it happened in week three out in LA. It

1101
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: was an interest in game against the Chargers, to say

1102
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the least, I mean, really really interesting. And the Texans

1103
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: did not start well. It finished well, but didn't start well.

1104
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: But they had finally kind of gotten their West Coast

1105
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: legs underneath them and cut score, cut the lead to

1106
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: seventeen to fourteen late in the third quarter. Late in

1107
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and Philip Rivers went back to pass

1108
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: on a third down, and I thought, man, if they

1109
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: can just hold a field goal here, it'll only be

1110
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 1: a twenty to fourteen lead. The Shawn I'll put together

1111
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: another drive. We'll take the lead twenty one, twenty and

1112
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: then we'll just have to hold on for the fourth quarter, right, Yeah,

1113
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the right way to think about it. Well,

1114
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers went back to pass and Whitney Merciless actually

1115
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: got cut blocked on this play. But then the magic

1116
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: happened because Rivers had to pull it down and he

1117
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: started to scramble. At play number eight, those strip sacks

1118
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier. At number eleven with Whitney.

1119
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: This was a huge one because Whitney strips him wide,

1120
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: hits Rivers, the ball pops out, cutting him gets the

1121
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: ball and it was all Texans essentially the rest of

1122
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: the way. At number eight, Whitney Merciless strip sack of

1123
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers out in LA on third and four. Here's

1124
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: the snap to Rivers. Rivers scrambling forward and he's gonna

1125
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: go down. The ball is out. The Texans have it,

1126
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I thought, twenty five yard line. Zach Cuttingham ends up

1127
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: with the rock. Yes he did. Zach Cuttingham has found

1128
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: He's found the football a few times off those strip sacks,

1129
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: and good for him. But that was a huge play.

1130
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: The Texans would go down and score that drive to

1131
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: take the lead and then score again a little while later. Man,

1132
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: that was good stuff out in LA. That was a

1133
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,959
Speaker 1: nerve racking game. It was all of those games where

1134
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: can the Texans show the world that they can beat

1135
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: a good team on the road like the Chargers. And

1136
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: I know Charges at four and five right now, but

1137
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: they're starting to kind of get it together a little bit.

1138
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,479
Speaker 1: And the Texans really dominated the second half of that game.

1139
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: And part of it was a strip sack right there

1140
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: from Whitney Merciless. All right, let's get the lucky number seven.

1141
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: And it happened in London. It was a seven yard run.

1142
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: That's a just a Carlos Hide seven yard run. All

1143
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: it was, right, not so much. I made this number

1144
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: one last week for replay, the number one play coming

1145
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: out of London, and again in the stat sheet, all

1146
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: it says is Carlos Hide seven yard run. That's it.

1147
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: Second and six seven yard run to pick up a

1148
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: first down. Great job by Carlos. Right, well, you had

1149
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: to see it to believe it. The Shawn Watson pocket

1150
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: collapsing on him, held basically by somebody down at his legs,

1151
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: kind of spinning around and he sees Carlos Hide basically

1152
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: behind him and He's just just like low slow so

1153
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: and he just flips it to him. Hide sees it,

1154
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: catches it, breaks through initial tackle, powers through two more tackles,

1155
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: and ends up being a really good seven yard run.

1156
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: But this play was about Deshaun Watson working his wizardry

1157
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: yet again and number seven to seven yard run. But

1158
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: it's a whole heck of a lot more than that

1159
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: from the Wizard, Deshaun Watson and his buddy El Guapo

1160
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide sucking down in six at the twenty three

1161
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: yard line of Jacksonville. Deshaun fakes the handoff, looking Watson

1162
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: in the pocket in trouble and he jumps it off

1163
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: to Hide. Hide across that sway Hide so the sixteen

1164
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: yard line, first down. Tex ends. Oh my goodness, he

1165
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: tells it again. Wow. I don't know what more you

1166
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: can say. Andre put it best. It's like wow wow.

1167
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is all you could say when

1168
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: you see this guy do the things that he does.

1169
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: I know, the fans in London had to absolutely love

1170
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: what he was doing. They had to love it. They

1171
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: had to love it. I mean they didn't get great

1172
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: games over there. I mean the Bears Raiders was twenty

1173
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: four twenty one when they played and Tottenham. And by

1174
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: the way, is gary An Conley the only player to

1175
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 1: have gotten wins two wins in the same season in London.

1176
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: He wonted Tottenham with the Raiders and he won with

1177
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: the Texans in Wembley. I just thought about that anyway,

1178
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: that was a what a tremendous play that was. I mean,

1179
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: it's just not even fair to try and stop that

1180
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: guy at times, and sometimes you literally just say, wow, okay,

1181
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: let's get the number six number six game in week

1182
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: was that week six? Week six? Did we go too?

1183
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: I think it was when we went to Kansas City. Yeah,

1184
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: this was one of the This was one of the

1185
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: statement put a stake in the ground games. And the

1186
01:06:55,600 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: Texans couldn't have started worse. Kansas City scores. On the

1187
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: first drive they went ninety yards. It was basically two

1188
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: big plays. It was an offensive pi pick play was

1189
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: not called, and then it was a deep ball to

1190
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. They got a touchdown. Then they get another touchdown.

1191
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: Calls Hyde fumbles the first run of the game. It's like,

1192
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: holy cow. We came to Kansas City expecting to see

1193
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: one whale of a game and it is not turning

1194
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: into that, to say the least. But the Texans were

1195
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: chipping away and chipping away and chipping away and chipping away,

1196
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: and they had got it to seventeen sixteen and we're driving.

1197
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: At the end of the first half. Sean went back

1198
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: to pass on fourth and wenty, threw a deep and

1199
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: ended up being intercepted, and so the Chiefs ended up

1200
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: with the ball at the twenty instead up being at

1201
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: the one where it looked like he landed want Thornhill,

1202
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: it actually moved out to the twenty. Yeah, darn it.

1203
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Thornhill should have never caught the ball because it would

1204
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: have given the Chiefs the ball at the forty yard

1205
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: line instead of the twenty. Either way, the Chiefs wanted

1206
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: to try and pick up some some significant yardage to

1207
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: get themselves down to score before the half. A field

1208
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: goal puts him up twenty sixteen, touchdown puts him up

1209
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: twenty four sixteen. That would have been tough, but on

1210
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the very first play, rookie Charles a Mena, who blasted

1211
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: past his blasted past the center Austin Reader and then

1212
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: nailed Patrick Mahomes. The ball popped out and both Chiefs

1213
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,839
Speaker 1: Reader and Martinez Rankin went to dive on the football,

1214
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: but but Ardrick McKinney busted his tail to dive in.

1215
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: And similar to the Watt recovery against Jacksonville, there were

1216
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 1: two guys four hands all b mac got in. There

1217
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: was one hand, so they're five hands in there one

1218
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: hand that belongs to the Texans, and somehow but Nardrick

1219
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: McKinney came out of the pile with the football and

1220
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,439

Speaker 1: Texans say they have it inside the five, and they

1335
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: have it. Houston recovers inside the five strip sack and

1336
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 1: it was big. All right, Let's get back to it

1337
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: at number five, and number five is going to be

1338
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:52,879

01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Fuller's kind of day, I mean he caught everything thrown

1341
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: his way. He made huge plays all day long. He

1342
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: finished with fourteen catches for two hundred and seventeen yards

1343
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. They could not stop him. They decided

1344
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 1: to tilt the field towards Fuller or towards DeAndre Hopkins,

1345
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:26,799
Speaker 1: and Will made them pay all day long with plays

1346
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 1: like this, I'm second and goal fakes to give Watson

1347
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,759

1350
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: burst down across the Atlanta thirty four. Watson under center

1351
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,360

1360
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 1: down in twenty at the Houston seventeen yard line. As

1361
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: DeShawn fakes the handoff, there's pressure. Watson throwing down field

1362
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: to his wife. He's got Fuller again forty forty five

1363

Speaker 1: Watson dancing and Watson throwing taffield and he's got Fuller

1371
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 1: across the fifteen ten five rock and roll touchdown to

1372
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, and that seals the deal. Yes, it did

1373
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: sealed the deal against the Atlanta Falcons. Sealing the deal

1374
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: is sort of the mantra here for some of the

1375
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: final few plays. And we go to number four, We

1376
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: go to La the Texas had taken the lead twenty

1377
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 1: one to seventeen. They had gotten the ball back and

1378
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson went back to pass and he had gotten

1379
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: some immediate pressure. I believe it was Melvin Ingram and

1380
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: it was one of those plays. And the angle I

1381
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 1: was standing was very similar to where I was standing

1382
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia the year before. So I've seen Deshan get

1383
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: out of some unbelievable situations. This was only one guy.

1384
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: He was getting away from. Philadelphia was like four and

1385
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 1: he somehow got away from all of them. But the

1386
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: key thing was at the end of both of those plays,

1387
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: the one in Philadelphia and this one in LA the

1388
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 1: end of it was Jorde Nakens. Jorge Nakens made the

1389
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: big first down catch in Philly, but he would make

1390
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: this catch and turn it into something a whole lot different.

1391
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,879
Speaker 1: In Week three in LA at play number four, DeShawn

1392
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: Watson somehow escapes, rolls to his left and finds Jordan

1393
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: Nakins all the way on the other side of the field,

1394
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: and then eight does the rest to give the Texas

1395
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: a twenty seven to fourteen lead. Here's play number four,

1396
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 1: second and ten from the Houston forty seven no backs.

1397
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, Watson looking, Watson in trouble. Watson escapes

1398
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: and he throws last moment and he's got Nakins across

1399
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 1: the forty thirty five right side for twenty five twenty

1400
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: fifteen ten five in traffic touchdown Jordan Nakens fifty three

1401
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,879
Speaker 1: yards and then he jumped in the stands with her bunch.

1402
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of Texans fans. It was. It

1403
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: was flat out awesome. I mean just awesome. I love

1404
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: that game in LA was it was stressful, but it

1405
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: was fun. I mean really really fun. And I had

1406
01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:00,040
Speaker 1: a chance to talk with Jordan afterwards, and we I

1407
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: had a little meeting with Snoop Dogg. It was pretty cool.

1408
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 1: It was just it was a wild day to think

1409
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: about it, to be honest, but man, what a great

1410
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: day at number four. Had a great play by the Shaw,

1411
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: Watson and Jordan Aiken to play number three. I have

1412
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: it as the defensive play of the year to this point.

1413
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 1: Now hopefully there are more, but at this point of

1414
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: the season, I felt like this was the play because

1415
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 1: the Texas don't make this stop, they more than likely

1416
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: fallow oh and two, and in week three if to

1417
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: go out to La the pressure is I mean supremely

1418
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 1: high at that point, not that it wasn't already, but

1419
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 1: my goodness, it would have been through the roof. It

1420
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,759
Speaker 1: would have been a loss to an AFC South opponent.

1421
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. The Jags had just cut the lead

1422
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 1: to thirteen to twelve on a DJ Chark touchdown. I

1423
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: don't throw from Gardner Minshew and immediately dug Rope put

1424
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: up two fingers are going for two points in the win,

1425
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: and they ran Leonard Fournette and Fournette gets bounced early,

1426
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: but they don't wrap him up and it would take

1427
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: Justin Reid to finish him about three inches short of

1428
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: the end zone. At play number three, Justin Reid makes

1429
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: maybe the tackle of his short Texans career to this point.

1430
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: He's made some great plays, but this might be the

1431
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: tackle of his career to this point. Justin Reid stops

1432
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:31,600
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette to give the Texans their first win of

1433
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 1: the year. It's a play number three, Jacksonville going for

1434
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: the league right here from the two yard line. Minshew,

1435
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 1: the've gone three receivers left handoff Fournette running left that

1436
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: he stopped. Justin Reid got in there. Thirteen Steffens on

1437
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: the two point conversion try. The Texans afo at thirteen twelve,

1438
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: but thirty seconds left. I was standing right in the

1439
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 1: end zone and saw that play the whole way, and

1440
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 1: I knew he didn't get in and Justin Reid just

1441
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 1: played like a catcher, just stopping the ball in front

1442
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 1: of just stopped him, just not going any further. Tremendous,

1443
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: tremendous play, and that leads us to play number two. Now,

1444
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: there were a ton of huge plays in Week six

1445
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: of Kansas City. Actually on both sides. Kansas City made

1446
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: some the Texans made a whole heck of a lot more.

1447
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: But that trip to Kansas City was something else. Man,

1448
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: what a what a trip. It was tremendous, beautiful day.

1449
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: The Texans fall down early, just what's going on? Oh

1450
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, this is brutal, and then they just keep

1451
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 1: chipping away, chipping away, chipping away, and then take a

1452
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: lead in the fourth quarter. They have two drives in

1453
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter on defense where they go three and

1454
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: out and three out. The Chiefs haven't done anything, but

1455
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: they gotta have one final drive to seal it. And

1456
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: if you get a first down inside the two minute

1457
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: warning when another team doesn't have any timeout, it's all

1458
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: you gotta do is take a knee. You get that

1459
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: first down and it's over. So it was fourth down

1460
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: and about three and coach Obrian had a decision. If

1461
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: he kicks the field goal up by seven, it puts

1462
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: him up ten it's over. But if he gets now

1463
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs would have had a chance to get the

1464
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: ball back and go, so wouldn't technically over. But if

1465
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: you get the first down there, it is over. Because

1466
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,600
Speaker 1: mathematically they can't they can't stop the clock. You touch

1467
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: the knee down three times, ball games over. So initially

1468
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: at the two minute warning, Saint Kymi Fairbrand out there

1469
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 1: thought about it, talked it over right before the time

1470
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: I was over. I see Watson Hopkins fuller, I'll go

1471
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 1: back on the field, and I thought, okay, let's make

1472
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:47,719
Speaker 1: this happen, and they did. At play number two, DeShawn

1473
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Watson drops back to throw, and there really is only

1474
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: one guy to throw this football too, and it was

1475
01:23:55,000 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. This would seal it. Watson to Hopkins. It

1476
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 1: wasn't much, but not a whole lot was needed. They

1477
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,599
Speaker 1: just needed to convert the Sean would take a hit,

1478
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: hop would go down and get this ball for the

1479
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: first down and end the game. And play number two

1480
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, Watson to Hopkins to end it four

1481
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 1: at the three at the chase twenty seven yard live,

1482
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,839
Speaker 1: Deshan puts the leg down. Here's the snap Watson throwing,

1483
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: how it hits Hopkins for a first down. The game

1484
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: is over. The Texans can kill the clock in Kansas City.

1485
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 1: Well that was nice, and I like the alliteration there by, mark,

1486
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: you can kill the clock in Kansas City. Very very nice.

1487
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I thought about putting it at number one because it

1488
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: was beating the Chiefs on the road. I mean, it

1489
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: was such a fun day, such a fun fun day.

1490
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: But I felt like number one had to be this

1491
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: this touchdown. I don't know that. Man, They're gonna have

1492
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 1: to be some great place to top this one this year.

1493
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: The Texans playing y Oakland Raiders at home just two

1494
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago. It is really the only home game the

1495
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 1: Texans have had in between now and November twenty November

1496
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,719
Speaker 1: twenty first and the Atlantic game. So between Atlanta, which

1497
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 1: was back October sixth. In November twenty first, the Texas

1498
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: only had one home game. It was this one against Atlanta,

1499
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: and the Texans struggled most of the day. It was

1500
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: just kind of this bare knuckle brawl. I say struggled.

1501
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 1: It wasn't as if they were just getting hammered. They

1502
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: just couldn't get kind of the machine rolling. And the

1503
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: Raiders were really good. But the Texans were down in

1504
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter twenty four to twenty, but they got

1505
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a drive going and they were

1506
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line when Watson the Wizard appeared

1507
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: yet again. He would get kicked in the eye on

1508
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: this play, as he shook off Arden Key, a Raider's

1509
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 1: pass rusher, he checked to make sure as I was

1510
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,719
Speaker 1: still there, and as he was being tackled at the feet,

1511
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 1: he threw it to the end zone where somehow, some

1512
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: way he would complete this nine yard touchdown pass that

1513
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: Darren Fells and it comes in at number one, first

1514
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 1: and goal at the nine. Deshaun calls for the ball.

1515
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 1: Here's the snap. Watson looking pocket collapsing, wants to try

1516
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 1: to get away. He tells to the right, throws to

1517
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 1: the end zone. Caught five Fells, magical touchdown Houston and

1518
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 1: the text ends take the lead. He's been unbelievable, man,

1519
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: Holy count. Darren Fells has been incredible. That was his

1520
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: fifth touchdown catch of the year. He would add another

1521
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:40,360
