00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Matra Man Savage to a player each of us from

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: the Texans game that kind of performed well or did

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: perform well. And yeah, it was a loss, we know.

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: And then we're gonna look ahead to this weekend, the

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: Saints coming to town. As Mark Vandermer likes to say.

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: They're fat and happy show.

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: After a thirty four to nothing drubbing on the road

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: of the Patriots. We'll have an under the radar Texan

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: from you. And then later on I'm gonna cut you loose.

37
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna reel in our big pal, Jalen Peetree, the

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: safety for the Texans. He and I went one on one.

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: I did a Drews dozen with him, had some interesting

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: thoughts road trip time. Hey, before we get into it,

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: road trip essentials. When you're going on a lot road trip,

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: what are the snacks you gotta have? And the drinks ooh,

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: because this comes up with jail.

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: I always have to have a drink in the car,

45
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: no matter what, and she's usually a Propel zero Gatorade

46
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: or you know some kind of I love sparkling ice

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: I have. I gotta have to drink. Worst case I

48
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: go just playing bottle of water, which is cool. The

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: snacks very it just it kind of depends. I like combos.

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: I love combos as my snack, but I'll eat pretty

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: much any kind of good snack. I'm not opposed to

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: having the zingers. Oh yeah, you know the kind of

53
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: twinkie like things. And I like the raspberry coconut once

54
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: for some reason, which some people don't like.

55
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: But my wife and I we drive a lot when

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: we're together. She's out in California right now.

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: But when we're together and we take road, we don't

58
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: like to fly, so we'd like to drive. And so

59
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: we drove to my mother lost funeral, my wife's mother's funeral.

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 3: We drove back from North Carolina, and I loved it

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: because we hit Bojangles in North Carolina, which we're gonna

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: go to North Carolina very soon, so get some bow

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: Jangles again. But then when we hit the convenience store.

64
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: It's some combos. It's like cheesy crackers. I try to

65
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: avoid the popcorn on the road because the kernels getting

66
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: you know, cheeth. But I also like some sort of

67
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: like sour Patch kids, Sarpatch watermelons, like if I'm really

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: feeling it, you know, but if I'm feeling fat from

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: having eaten too much, I stay away from that stuff.

70
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Okay, so you were living large on Sunday. On the

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: flight home, you have the sour Patch Kids. You ever

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: from an omar from media relations my choice on the

73
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: road trips. I need a diet doctor Pepper or a

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: diet Mountain dude to drink yep. And I like beef jerky.

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: I like a if I if I need my get

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: my sugar up a fast break bar made by Reese's.

77
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, those are great. I love those

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: are great.

79
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: And then if you get getting drowsy, you know, it

80
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: keeps me awake. Sunflower seeds there, chewing in the all

81
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: that whole process. Yeah, so that's that's my stuff. Okay,

82
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: let's get into cream of the crop crop. Thank you,

83
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: thank you about your man savage. The Texans fall to

84
00:03:59,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: the Falcons on.

85
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: The road man.

86
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: Just a weird game. Have a lead at the half,

87
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: have a lead in the second half, then you lose it,

88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: then you get it back with one forty nine remaining.

89
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: It was reminiscent of a lot of games from eighteen

90
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: and nineteen and a little bit of seventeen where the

91
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Texans that offense would leave the field, will lead late

92
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: and then somehow the other team would come back and

93
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: get it. So who is your cream of the crop,

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: the cream of the crop winner for today.

95
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Dalton Schultz.

96
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: Good one, good one.

97
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: That's where I'm going. With seven catches, had the game

98
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: winning touchdown. You know, I you know how I love

99
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: the game to be played obviously physically but cerebrally too.

100
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: And I love when things are set up for future use.

101
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: And they were setting up Jesse Bates all game. They

102
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: were inviting him down. Now Baits almost got one. Thank

103
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: god Robert Woods played defensive back at one point in

104
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: his life because he got that ball out of there.

105
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: But they set Jesse Bates up with a route that

106
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: they had been running and have run before, where Dalton

107
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: is running the basic route or an in route and

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: instead of running just an inn. He went in, got

109
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: baits to bite, and he went in and deep, in

110
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 3: and out.

111
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: I hope they called it that.

112
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: I hope they called it like burger or something like that,

113
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: like in and out burger, because that's what essentially was

114
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: he It was a great route, great.

115
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: Catch because he had the other safety that was.

116
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: Starting to close a little bit because CJ couldn't rip

117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: it and he didn't want to float it.

118
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 4: So it was kind of an in between his kind

119
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: of two ball, and.

120
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: He ended up making a catch before the safety could

121
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: get there.

122
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 4: But Dalton was he was seven to eleven. He was

123
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: open a lot of the day.

124
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: And I think that's gonna happen more often because teams

125
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: are gonna be super conscious of conscious of Nico Collins

126
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: and then of Robert Woods on third down in particular,

127
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: and then Tank Dell going deep. I think that's gonna

128
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: open some things up for Dalton Schultz on these tight ends.

129
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: And Dalton took advantage against Atlanta for sure. So I'm

130
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: gonna go with Dalton Schultz. Is my creamit a cropper?

131
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

132
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: I like that choice, you know, And we've kind of

133
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: touched on this in previous weeks. It was just a

134
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: matter of time, I thought for him to have one

135
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: of those type of games because you just touched, you

136
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: just mentioned it. There's so many options now in this offense,

137
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: and if a defense decides to take some certain aspect

138
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: of it away, like Nico Collins had a quieter day

139
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: than he did last week and than he did in

140
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: week two. So I think because of that a lot

141
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: of that time, a lot of times, that's going to

142
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: open things up for somebody else. And I think Dalton

143
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: was Dalton was a guy that benefited from that, you.

144
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 3: Know, yep, absolutely, And I think that's I think that's

145
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: kind of the evolution of this offense as we go forward,

146
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: and that is you take this away from us, well

147
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: we're going to go to this, and you take this

148
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: away from us, We're going to go to that.

149
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: You take that away from us, well we're going to

150
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: go back to this.

151
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: There's going to be so much that you're going to

152
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: be able to bring to it, hopefully that you can

153
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: then be a complete offense, be it run game, pass game,

154
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: tight ends, pass game, why shoot your pass game? All

155
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: three levels in the past game, all that you've got

156
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: to be able to have and be able to peel

157
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 3: those layers back. And I know many many years ago

158
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: when I was doing a coaching thing, that was what

159
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: I wanted. Okay, the first quarter, I would kind of say,

160
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 3: all right, what are they trying to take away?

161
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: Okay, they want to take this away? All right, well

162
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: here's our counter to that.

163
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: All right, here's something we worked on practice anticipating that

164
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: they were going to take this away.

165
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: So let's go to this.

166
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden you kind of got them

167
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: where you want them, and now you hit them with everything,

168
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: and now they're like, whoa, we don't know how to

169
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: stop this.

170
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 4: And that's kind of where this offense, I would hope.

171
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: Is planning to go to where every single aspect you're

172
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: hit we Willy Keeler form Baltimore Orio long long time ago.

173
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: Hit him where they ain't. It's kind of that. It's like,

174
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: hit him where they ain't. They go nickel run at them.

175
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: You know, if they go base, throw two tight ends.

176
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: They want to clamp down and press, throw deep beyond them.

177
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: You know, whatever they throw, whatever test question they throw at.

178
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: You, you have the answer.

179
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: That's nice. I like, I always love a good Baltimore

180
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: Orioles pre major League Baseball. Well Baltimore Orioles reference was

181
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: when they were not in Major League Baseball. Okay, mine

182
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: is kind of sort of complicated. Mine goes to the

183
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: past protection.

184
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: Okay, that's not complicated. That that's good.

185
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: Think about that. For the third straight week no sacks allowed.

186
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: Texans have never done that in franchise history. They've never

187
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: gone three games in a row without giving up a sack.

188
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: This is the first time that's happened. And they did

189
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: it again with a new unit. It wasn't like, I mean,

190
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: think about it, the best offensive line in team history,

191
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: probably that twenty eleven bunch. I think we can agree

192
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: on that. Even they did not do this and they

193
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: pretty much played together most of the year. I'd have

194
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: to go back and look, there were some swapouts with Brizel.

195
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 2: He got injured a few times and he had he

196
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: had to come out. But this is the third different

197
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: combo we've seen in as many weeks, and really I

198
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: don't think they've had the same combo. I think you've

199
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: had five different combos each time. Maybe I'd have to

200
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: go back a little bit that.

201
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, weeks two and three were the same.

202
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: Where are they?

203
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: Okay, so I think, yeah, I'm pretty sure.

204
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: So nevertheless, three straight weeks no sacks allowed, especially with

205
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback who had gone you'd gotten dropped eleven

206
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: times in the first two games. So out Chris Strausser,

207
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: shout out to the O line this week that was

208
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: out there. They all started and played every single snap offensively,

209
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: as did Stroud. And then on the other side of

210
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: the ball, there's some guys three like the secondary played

211
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: every snap, the two corners and the two safeties that started.

212
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: But I got to go with that pass protection because

213
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: that is no small feat. It doesn't matter if you're

214
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 2: playing a team that has a TJ. Watt or a

215
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: team like the Falcons who don't have as many notable names,

216
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: they can still get after the passer. So I got

217
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: to go with them. Now they all agree. They'll all say, hey,

218
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: the damn's got to break sometime soon. On the run game,

219
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: we got to get get things going and run the

220
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 2: ball better, they'll tell you that. But as far as

221
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: pass pro goes, I've been very, very impressed.

222
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

223
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: There have been many years, the last few years in particular,

224
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: where a team would rush four, we'd have five to

225
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: block and somebody would get home, and now you rush four,

226
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: you're not getting close.

227
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: Those guys I thought played very very well together. And

228
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 4: you're right. And I've thought about this a lot, Dru.

229
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: I've thought about what what is harder? Two, what's harder

230
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: to do in this offense to be a great run

231
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: blocking unit or to be a great pass blocking unit.

232
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: And I've always kind of thought that pass blocking would

233
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: be a lot more difficult because your slide protections, your

234
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: split protections, your five zero protections, all the different type

235
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: of protections you have, and then teams start getting exotic

236
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: on third down, so you're doing some maybe specific things

237
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: to that particular team, whereas.

238
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: Run block who you follow your rules, you know.

239
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: But I think in this offense it's probably a little

240
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: bit more difficult to get that synergy in the run game.

241
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 3: I feel like those links in the chain have got

242
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: to all be moving together to really get it going.

243
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 3: And I think that's part of the reason to your

244
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: point earlier this. You know, if we go with the

245
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: same offensive line this week, that'll be just the second

246
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: time we've had consecutive starting offensive lines that are the same.

247
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: And I think that's where we're going to start to

248
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: see some of the continuity in the run games start

249
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: to pay off, continuity in the offensive line start to

250
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: pay off. So you know, we'll see how that how

251
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: that transpires. But you've had four different offensive lines in

252
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: five weeks. I mean you don't get synergy that way.

253
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean you don't get continuity that way. You're teaching

254
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: things the same way, and and coach Strauser and Cole Papovich,

255
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: coach Popovich or are coaching it together the same way.

256
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: But it's different personnel. So there are things you can

257
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: do with Titus that you maybe couldn't do with Kendrick,

258
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: or some things you do with Kendrick that you don't

259
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 3: do with Titus, et cetera. So you got to put

260
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: all that together and try and get it going. But

261
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: you're right. The pass protection, though, has been I mean

262
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 3: it was it was stellar three straight weeks with how

263
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: many different starting offensive linemen.

264
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 4: I mean, if if well with it's it's.

265
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: Seven different starting offensive lineman the last three or four week,

266
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 3: the last three or four games.

267
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: It's been incredible to do that.

268
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: Look at who's played left tackle this year. Yeah, exactly,

269
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: Josh Jones. I mean, the list goes on on and

270
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 2: on Yeah, deculous.

271
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Christian played there in the game against the Steelers.

272
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 3: I mean, it's incredible what they've been able to do.

273
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's flip the page. Let's turn it over

274
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: to the Saints coming to town. Saints are man thirty

275
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: four to nothing. They start things off with a tyron

276
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: Matthew picked six, and they scored in every quarter. They

277
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: never trailed. It's hard to trail when you don't give

278
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: up a point. Yeah, picked off. They picked off mac

279
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: Jones twice. They get three takeaways, and on top of

280
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: all that, they basically doubled them up time of possession.

281
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: They had the ball for thirty nine minutes and twenty

282
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: four seconds. Goodness gracious, that's a drumming. Now, listen, we

283
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: know Patriots are down, they're not who they used to be.

284
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: But I don't care, man, that's a that's a whooping

285
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: that you just put on a team on the road,

286
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: long flight. It's a tough place to play, just no

287
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: matter who's you know up in that Patriot uniform. But

288
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 2: who's your under the radar Texa that you got to

289
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: watch this week?

290
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm not gonna pick up specific linebacker because

291
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 3: we don't know the status of Christian Harris, but I'm

292
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: going with I'm going with the linebacker crew with because

293
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 3: of one guy, al then that's the that's the human

294
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: option route, and that's Calvin.

295
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 4: It's Alvin Kamara.

296
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: I mean, he's you know, for people that don't know

297
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: what option out is, it's pretty simple.

298
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 4: He has the option to go in or out depending

299
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 4: on what the coverage is.

300
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 3: And so he's so quick and so good and explosive

301
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: that it's very difficult for linebackers to cover him because

302
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: he gets up on them, they freeze and then he

303
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: fakes one way, goes the other and they're lost. And

304
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: that's an easy seven yards and now he's back. He

305
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: runs the ball extremely well. It's it's really tough, and

306
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: that puts the onus on the linebackers to have to

307
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: handle that. Now, Derek, like Canny Pickett, not gonna run

308
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: out of the pocket very much. You can when he

309
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: needs to, but it's kind of the last resort sort

310
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 3: of thing. Whereas Ritter was going to do it a

311
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: little bit more. He didn't have to do it as

312
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 3: much the other day. But I think the linebackers with Kamara,

313
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: that's gonna be tough. Foster Moreau catching the balls at

314
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: tight end, that's gonna be tough. So I think the

315
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: linebackers have their hands full of trying to tangle with

316
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara, especially this week.

317
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Mine is going to be kind

318
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: of along those lines because of that threat from Kamara.

319
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Jalen Petrie. I think he'll get

320
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: he'll get thrown in that mix of being having a

321
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: responsibility for him too. I want to see the Texans

322
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: getting goodness gracious. I'm going to send out this email

323
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: here in the next few hours that I send you

324
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: DP and Mark and it's the plus minus. It's the

325
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: turnover differential.

326
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah you know that.

327
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: I said once a week on Tuesdays every season. I've

328
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: been doing it for about five years now. Texans don't.

329
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: I haven't looked yet, but they've got to be up

330
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: even higher. They were top ten and turnover differential going

331
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: into last week and then they're plus two. I lose.

332
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: They helped Bijon Robs that that's gonna be a segment,

333
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: not a segment, but a part of this podcast moving forward.

334
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: The what if I told you? Yeah, whereas what if

335
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: I told you the Texans were plus two. They held

336
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: Bejon Robinson to less than one hundred yards, And I'm

337
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: gonna start doing that because we can drive ourselves crazy

338
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: and make ourselves manic by by going over the what

339
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: if I told you and then something bad happens?

340
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was one of those that what

341
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: if I told you you're gonna hold Bijon to what?

342
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: What do you have? Fifty fifty yards? Not even?

343
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

344
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: What if I told you're gonna win a turnover battle? What

345
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: if I told you that you weren't going to turn

346
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: the ball over at all? I'm like, well, yeah, you're

347
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: gonna wing. You're gonna wing going away.

348
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: Get sacked?

349
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, no sacks, Yeah exactly. I mean now the flip

350
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: side of all that was you didn't run the box

351
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: actually well yeah, and you didn't get any sacks on them. Yeah,

352
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: And Desimen Rider played out of his freaking mind, and

353
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: I was happy for him from that standpoint.

354
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: That guy's good played for us.

355
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: But I have a lot of respect for Desert Ritter,

356
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: and I hope that he turned into a really good

357
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: quarterback for the Falcons.

358
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: How about that stat that you guys brought up, and

359
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: we're going to move on to to some other things.

360
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: But how about that stat y'all brought up with Andre

361
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Ware on the radio yesterday. He has not lost a

362
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: home game in college with the pros, and who knows,

363
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: I can't. I wonder what his high school. I can

364
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: look that up probably, but yeah, that's a that's an amazing.

365
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: Starty thirty one and oh at home thirty one and

366
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: oh at home.

367
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's unbelievable. I mean, that's incredible. But

368
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: the thing was is, you know, you could look back.

369
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: At the Cincinnati career and say, Okay, there were times,

370
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, he had Sauce Gardner, you know, on defense,

371
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: and they had some other dudes on defense, so there

372
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: were times, Okay, they won a few games that way.

373
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: But he was so good on Sunday against US. I mean,

374
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: it was the one kind of variable I don't see

375
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: you counted out. But you know, there have been so

376
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: much noise about him not being the starting quarterback and

377
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: then he rises up and has one of the best

378
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: performances we've seen from a quarterback this year. I mean

379
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: it was I mean, kudos hats off to him because

380
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: that was an incredible performance.

381
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: All Right, It's story time and this is nothing major,

382
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: but we're gonna start integrating this too. Okay, since we're

383
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: playing the Saints and moving forward, you're gonna have to

384
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: have a story about when the Texans have played an

385
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: opponent for the past. But since we're playing the Saints,

386
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with this little nugget. Nothing major here,

387
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be significant, but Texans. We're in

388
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: New Orleans practicing before the preseason game twenty seventeen. Stuff's weird, man.

389
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be super super hot, but like you know,

390
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: there's a big monster in the gulf of a storm

391
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: that jiggled the atmosphere all around it, and so it

392
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: was kind of temperate and nice. And on top of

393
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: all that, I'm standing there watching practice and I look

394
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: up and there's.

395
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: This long hair, tall.

396
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: Sort of lanky looking dude on the Saints and I

397
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: kind of scratch my head and I think I know him.

398
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: That's all Brian braid.

399
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a longtime Texans fan. You're smiling right now,

400
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: Brian Brayman. If you're a newer Texans fan or a

401
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: younger Texans fan, this guy was an undrafted free agent

402
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: made the team in twenty eleven. He had played in

403
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 2: a few different spots like West Texas, A and M.

404
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: He was from the Great Pacific Northwest. He was rangy,

405
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: He was tall, very very athletic. Nick Skurfield wrote a

406
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: phenomenal story about him. I think he had a grandfather

407
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: who was seven feet tall. But anyways, he was a

408
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: great special teamer. He played outside linebacker. That was his

409
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: position on defense. But he never really played a whole

410
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: lot of defense. But he was a great special teamer.

411
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: Blocked a punt. I think he had a punt return

412
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: for a score one time. He made a tackle without

413
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: his helmet once. But he was just a character. And

414
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: I look up and he's with the Saints, and you know,

415
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: normally it's a practice. It's like practice is going on,

416
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: and he sees me and he just kind of wanders

417
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: over gives me the bro hug with the handshake. It

418
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: was good to see. If Andy he didn't last long

419
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: with the Saints, I think he got cut, you know,

420
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: later in camp maybe or something. But you know what,

421
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: he latched on that year, that season with the Philadelphia

422
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: Eagles and he was a key member of their special

423
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: teams unit. They won a Super Bowl so Brian Braman

424
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl ring. I got a picture from that.

425
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: I need to I'm gonna say this again. I didn't

426
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: do it with the Randy Matchaman Savage pick last week,

427
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: but I need to put that little picture of me

428
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: with Brian Brahman at a Saints practice up because that

429
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: was a fun little memory and what would turn out

430
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: to be a pretty nasty week and nasty month hurricane wise.

431
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's mine. What sures Harvey was in the golf.

432
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: I think I said, Katrina, but Harvey was in the golf.

433
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Harvey was in the golf.

434
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: That was a That was a rough time minus twenty fifteen,

435
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: the last time that the Saints were in the building

436
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: and victory. I remember the defense in twenty fifteen was

437
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: playing at an unbelievable clip. But I noticed in twenty

438
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: fifteen in that game against the Saints, I noticed that

439
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: that JJ was like even more animated than usual, like

440
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: on the field, like he you know, I could see

441
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: him chirping with the Saints.

442
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 4: At one point. There was one point where tront Armstead,

443
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 4: you know, JJ.

444
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: Was rushing from a particular side and toront Armstead was

445
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: motioning for him to come over to that side, and

446
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: JJ's like, oh, I'll be over Like I could see

447
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: them like going at it. At one point, JJ goes

448
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: over Toronto Armstead's side. He just destroys Tront Armstead and

449
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 3: gets a sack on Drew Brees. And I just remember thinking,

450
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: you asked for it, Toronto Armstead, you asked for it.

451
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: He gave it.

452
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: And then it was a couple of days later that,

453
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: you know, doing every thing on Twitter and like NFL films, Oh,

454
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: we had JJ Watt miked up, oh man, and it

455
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 3: was glorious.

456
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: It was.

457
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 4: It was glorious.

458
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 3: I mean he was on it from the time they

459
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: were warming up to pointing over at Sean Payton saying,

460
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 3: y'all better get somebody over here that.

461
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: Can block me. I mean, it was just tremendous. The

462
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 4: game itself.

463
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: If you remember, that was the first time it was

464
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 3: two thousand and six when Drew Brees and Sean Payton

465
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: had gotten together.

466
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: That was nine years after the fact, and it was

467
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: the first time that.

468
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: Peyton and Breeze together had not scored a touchdown, not

469
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 3: score a touchdown, two field goals, and just.

470
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 4: Dominated the entire game.

471
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: And I'm hoping that our defense is able to do

472
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: that to Derek Carr on Sunday. It'll be tough, be

473
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: really tough. Our defense isn't quite at that twenty fifteen level.

474
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 3: Hopefully we'll get there. But man, I just remember Lot

475
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,719
Speaker 3: being so animated that day and I was like, man, something,

476
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: And then I saw that Mic I was like, oh okay,

477
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: now he didn't have to do that. Even when he

478
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: was not miked up. He had some animation to his

479
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: game for sure. Signed selfie Zach Medberger. But he was

480
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 3: he was fun.

481
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: He was really fun and that day that defense was incredible.

482
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: I remember leaving that day that was about as fun

483
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 3: a day to see the same just get it handed

484
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: to him and handed to him by the defense, which

485
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: is really cool.

552
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 6: But we're trying to get a little bit more coordinated

553
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 6: because we plan on making a lot of plays.

554
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: I like that there's gotta be some choreography to these things.

600
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 6: When was this, I probably was like nine or ten, okay,

601
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 6: And then my mom was asking me what me and

602
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 6: my brother wanted to be, and we really couldn't think

603
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 6: of nothing, and we were just like, put on our shoulder,

604
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 6: pass in our jersey and we can use our helmet

605
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 6: like it was real simple.

606
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: That's great. Those are some of the best ones when

607
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: you stay simple and do it that way exactly.

608
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Okay.

609
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,440

Speaker 2: being able to run at light speed?

611
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 5: Probably run it like speed.

612
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 6: But if I ran at light speed, I probably wouldn't

613
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 6: probably get banned from the NFL.

614
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 5: We'll probably run a life speed.

615
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: And if you were invisible, you'd probably get banned.

616
