1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Hello Texans. Here it is week one, our first Thursday

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: night show of the NFL regular season. It's upon us

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: as the Texans take on the Rams Sunday afternoon, three

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: twenty five, live right here and on the Bowl one

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: hundred point three FM, and on the Odyssey app and

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot of places. And joining us, it's Mark

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: Vandermin and John Harris with you. Joining us is the General,

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer John McClain, to preview this matchup,

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: to talk about other NFL matchups. Because there's a game tonight.

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: As you might have heard, there's a Brazilian game tomorrow.

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: I call it the Brazilian Brazilion with the Chargers and

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And we've got all the action on Sunday

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: and college football too, So general, good evening. How are

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: you feeling with the game three days away?

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm bored up about it, as everybody is. The

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: season college is started with the most watched weekend I

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: think in the history. Maybe it's just the opener you

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: you ten Ohio State was the ies grated opener in history.

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: I think the NFL will pick right up with this

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: game with the Eagles and Cowboys. No telling what the

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: ratings will be, especially if the Cowboys manage to keep

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: it close and competitive. But I can't wait to see

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: the Rams, and the Texans can't wait to see Nick

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: Cayley's offense now that he doesn't have to be Vanilla anymore.

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: You know, the running game in the offensive line is

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: what everybody's going to be watching to see. Number one,

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: how the line improves and number two, how the running

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: game works without Joe Mixon for at least the first

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: four games. Is for the defense. You know, they got

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: a great defense, and I'm guessing that Matthew Stafford is

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: going to take a lot of three step drops. He's

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: going to run draws, He's going to run screens, He's

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: going to run quick turnaround passes, anything except dropping back

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: and holding the ball and running the risk of getting

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: obliterated by Will Anders or Daniel Hunter. Can you imagine

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: everybody listening, I'm sure has had a back issue. I've

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: had back surgery, and I can't imagine having a back

38
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: injury that required me to get shots and not practice

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: except lightly for two weeks. And then how in the

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: world would you survive ahead by Anderson or Hunter or

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: any of the other pass rushers. So I'm looking for

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: Sean mcvay's game plan to be running a lot with

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: darn Williams, but get rid of it quick when Matthew

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: Stafford has to pass.

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: General in this game, what's one advantage you think the

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 3: Texans have over the Rams? What's one advantage the Rams

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: have over the Texans.

48
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: I think the Texans advantage over the Rams is their

49
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: overall defense going against a quarterback who who has not

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: been able to participate orly at all through the offseason

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: program because of it his back injury.

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 4: And even though.

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford has been incredibly durable unless it was a

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: major injury. Yeah, he's a tough guy. We saw him

55
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: take a beating, including a couple by the Texans when

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: he played for Detroit. But I would think the Texans

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: defense against their passing game, you know, they've got problems

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: up front. And I think the biggest thing about the

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: Rams is Karen Williams in a running game. You know,

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Williams is a very underrated running back. I've tried to read,

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: watch and listened everything I can recently to see what

62
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: people I respect are picking about the NFL. All of

63
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: them picked the Texans to win the AFC's out for

64
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: a third time. I've only seen one who picked him

65
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: to win that first game, Sharene Williams of the Athletic

66
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean of NBC and Pro Football talk, and people

67
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: forget how the Texas just pound teams in that opening round.

68
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: But I'm very excited, you know, seeing a return game.

69
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: How it might be affected with Barrios not practicing because

70
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: of a hamstring injury. As you guys know, hamstrings have

71
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: to be one hundred percent so you don't risk aggravating them.

72
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: And so Frank Ross looks like I'll have to have

73
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 2: another return guy. And then if Christian Kirk can't play,

74
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: that looks like a whole lot more action from a

75
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: second rookie. Jalen Nol to go along with Jay Niggins.

76
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 5: How do you think C. J.

77
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson fits in as he's available opening day and

78
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: looks to make a dynamite debut if at all possible.

79
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: It's interesting I listened to a long interview this morning

80
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: with south Allantonio, who's covered who's just signed a contract

81
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 2: re up with ESPN, the longest running reporter thirty years,

82
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: and he covers the Eagles. He's always been based there

83
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: and he said, the Eagles have don't have a plan

84
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: that everybody recognizes to replace their two starting safeties, and

85
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: he was talking about how much he thought they were

86
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: gonna miss Gardner Johnson, And I think that's good. You know,

87
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: the guy had he hadn't been able to get out

88
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: there since you guys were at the Greenbrier and everybody

89
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: held their breath when he went down. Now is he's

90
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: back starting in this game. I think his experience, his

91
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: leadership will be good. He almost got beat by Matthew

92
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: Stafford in the playoffs last year in the cold at

93
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: Laying Snow and ice at Lincoln Financial feel the Rams

94
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: gave the Eagles their toughest game in the playoffs, so

95
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: he knows what Stafford's all about. They game planned for

96
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: them in February, I mean in January. So I'm guessing

97
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: he's done a lot of helping coach and prepare the

98
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: secondary for what's coming with Stafford. And I look for

99
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: him to be rusty, of course, but one of the

100
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: things he's got a dynamic second year of safety, Kaylyn

101
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: Bullock to go with him. And you think about the

102
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: front three guys with Derek Stingley Junior and Kamari Lassiter

103
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: and Jalen Petree to go along with Bullock and Gardner Johnson.

104
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: There can't be another team in the NFL that can

105
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: put together five starters in the secondary as good as

106
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: they are. And of course, so much depends on the

107
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: pass rush. And not many teams have better defensive line

108
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: than the Texans do.

109
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: One of those teams that doesn't have a better defensive line,

110
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: but it's got a very good one, the Los Angeles Rams.

111
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: Whether it's Byron Young, Kobe Turner, Poona Ford, or it's

112
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 3: Jared Versu Braden Fisco's two both came out of Florida

113
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: State last year.

114
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 6: General, you kind of alluded to it earlier, and I

115
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 6: knew we would get to it.

116
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: How confident are you feeling about this offensive line going

117
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: against Jared versus Byron Young? Those guys in particular, the

118
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: two guys that presumably are on the edge is Titus

119
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: Howard at right tackle in the rookie Arianta Ersery and

120
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: left tackle.

121
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: Well, let's be honest, how could anybody be confident about

122
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: this offensive line when they haven't seen them together? True,

123
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: but when it counted and if they and it just

124
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: makes sense. You put ted us back in his old position,

125
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: but he played left guard last year, and then you

126
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: have four new starters, including a rookie left tackle. They're

127
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: going to have growing pains. This is a great test

128
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: for them right off the bat because they're going to

129
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: get one of the best defensive lines that is in

130
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: the NFL. And we talked about the game plan that

131
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Sean McVay would have for Matthew Stafford. I would imagine

132
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: it is the same for CJ. Stroud. Nick Kayley knows

133
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: them very very well. I watched a Sean McVeigh interview

134
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: a while ago and he was talking about how talented

135
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: that the Texans offense is. He said, now I need

136
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: to call Kayley and find out what his audibles are

137
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: so we'll be better prepared. Of course everybody laughed about it,

138
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: but the idea has got to be to protect CJ.

139
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: So even though they've got a running back back committee,

140
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: they're going to try to run. And how well they

141
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: run depends on how well the offensive line does. And

142
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: I would imagine we see Stroud rolling out both ways

143
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: because he's got to avoid that pass rush. I saw.

144
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: Let's see what was the stat when he's been sacked

145
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: four or more times. I can't remember if this last

146
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: year or the year before. I guess his the last

147
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: two years they're three and ten, so you don't want

148
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: to give up four or more sacks. So great strategy

149
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: by both play callers. Sean McVay and Nick Cayley have

150
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: been together for the last two years about keeping their

151
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: quarterback upright, trying to keep the defense off balance with

152
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: running games, and right now, the Rams got to feel

153
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: really good about their running game, and the Texans they

154
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: want to feel good about it. They may say they

155
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: feel good about it, and maybe they do, but boy,

156
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: you talk about being under the microscope, the running game

157
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: and the pass protection are under it general.

158
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: I want to zoom out for just a moment.

159
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Then we'll get into all the action this weekend other

160
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: than the Texans and more on the Texans Rams game.

161
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: But this is related to the Rams, of course, who

162
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: are back in Los Angeles. Of course they've been that

163
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: way for a while. This is the second meeting the

164
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: Texans have had with the Rams in LA. They lost

165
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: there in twenty seventeen at the Coliseum. But had Bob

166
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: McNair not gotten the Texans in Houston as the thirty

167
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: second franchise and LA won that battle. Where are the

168
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Rams today? Are they in Houston? Is there some other

169
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: weird development as we turn back the clock and reverse

170
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: the rotation of the earth and take a look at

171
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: what might have been?

172
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: Bob told me one time he had several inquiries from

173
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: the NFL because he had already submitted all of his

174
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,119
Speaker 2: finances to them several years before. He pursued the Texans

175
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: because he wanted to own an NFL team, and they

176
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: loved everything about bobbing there, including the money he had,

177
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: the money he was willing to invest. They talked to

178
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: him about buying the Dolphins. He looked into it, but

179
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: Wayne Eizinga wanted to keep the stadium. He had no interest.

180
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: They talked to him about the expansion teams in Carolina

181
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, and then they talked to him about the Rams,

182
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: and he said, and imagine how history would be different.

183
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: He told me. The only team I would have sincerely

184
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: considered buying his Washington Redskins. And one reason was he

185
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: spent so much time in Washington, and a lot of

186
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: that was because at one point he was the largest

187
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: Republic contributor in the country, and I thought, man if

188
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: Bob ming there had bought them, and nobody had ever

189
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: heard about Dan Sneyder. How that could have changed the

190
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: history of that franchise. But because the league wanted a

191
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: team in LA and was desperate to get the team

192
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 2: in LA and did everything they could to get it

193
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: in there. And Bob always told me, we're going to

194
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: get it because we have our ducks in a row.

195
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: He said, I've got spies out there and they can't

196
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: decide where it goes, who's going to pay for it,

197
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: and we've got all those ducks in a row. But

198
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: the league sure wanted to have a team in LA,

199
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: and it got to general.

200
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 6: I don't know if we've had a chance to talk

201
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 6: to you.

202
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: I don't know about the Michael Parsons trade to the

203
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers, who was announced today. I don't announce,

204
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: but it was revealed that the Eagles apparently were interested.

205
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 3: You know, Jerry was not going to trade him within

206
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: the division, but he did trade him within the conference,

207
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: sends him green Bay. The Cowboys get two first round

208
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: picks back and Kenny Clark your thoughts about the Gambler

209
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: and his Cowboys making a move from Michael Parsons going

210
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 3: to green Bay.

211
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 2: Everybody in Texas gets the Texans Rams game and this

212
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: on Sunday, and one small area Dallas for Worth, gets

213
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: the Packers game. And that's of course for obvious reasons.

214
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: And it depends everything, depends on what they do with

215
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: those draft picks. You got to figure the Packers are

216
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: going to be drafting low in the twenties, maybe closer

217
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: to thirty and and the Cowboys, you know, they may

218
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: have if Dak Prescott stays healthy. Every year he's been

219
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: healthy then or played most of the games they've been

220
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. So that's the key. He's got to

221
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: stay healthy. You know, one guy pass rusher doesn't put

222
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: you in a super Bowl. You know, a quarterback Tom

223
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: Brady puts you in the Super Bowl, like he did

224
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: with the Buccaneers. But I think the Cowboys, no way,

225
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: anybody can think they're better. This year. Kenny Clark, their

226
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: defensive tackle statistically, had his worst season. Well the reason

227
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: was he was hurt. He had a big toe injury.

228
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: He played hurt. You know how hard it is you

229
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: can't push off if your big toes hurt. And I

230
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: think he had it surgically repaired after the season. He's

231
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: one hundred percent ready to go, and boy, Saquon Barkley

232
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 2: better not rush for two hundred yards when they kick

233
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: off shortly because Jerry said, oh boy, I run defense

234
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: is going to be so much better. And one other thing,

235
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: I was listening to Rob Demovski, who has covered them

236
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: forever and is on the Pro Football Hall of Fame

237
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: selection committee with me, and he said that when the

238
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: Packers played at AT and T Stadium in the playoffs

239
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: two years ago, their game plan was to run the

240
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: ball at Michael Parsons and it worked. But the Packers

241
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: know that and they still paid. You know, the price

242
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 2: of two ones that should be low is not that

243
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: big a deal. But giving him five million more, what

244
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: was he going to say? No, I'm not going to

245
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: play for a mirror forty two million a year.

246
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, general, the E word came up with Parsons epidural.

247
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: Ooh.

248
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: When I heard that, I thought, maybe Jerry's crazy like

249
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: a fox here because Parsons limited again in practice, Doctor

250
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: VanderMeer says he probably is not going to play on Sunday.

251
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 5: I'm just I just have that feeling.

252
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: How do you play if you're limited with a back

253
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: injury and you're with a brand new team and you

254
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: haven't done anything all preseason. But maybe he does. But

255
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that long term injury? Long

256
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: term health back injury for a pass rusher, or for

257
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: anybody in this league for that matter.

258
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: Go and his agent both said he was planning to

259
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: play for the Cowboys in the first game Thursday night.

260
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: So I think that he's wanting people to be biting

261
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: their fingernails and then all of a sudd he plays

262
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: and he's Superman. What if he doesn't play and everybody

263
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: in the metro plagues has got to watch the Packers

264
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: win out. Micah Parsons those ratings, I'm guessing won't be

265
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: real good, but I'm guessing he'll play if you can

266
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: risk Matthew Stafford standing up to punishment from Will Anderson Junior,

267
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: Danil Hunter and all their other pass rushers. I think

268
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: a guy can rush the pass, or if it's not

269
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: full time, at least in obvious passing situations.

270
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: Okay, general, you need to rate my hot take. Here's

271
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: my hot take. Well, there's two of them. The first

272
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: one that's really not a hot take. I thought hard

273
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: Knocks with the Buffalo Bills was probably the most blah

274
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: I've ever seen. Absolutely, So here's the second one. I

275
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: think the Buffalo Bills are vulnerable. I see a lot

276
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: of people putting them in the super Bowl. I think

277
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: the Bills win AFC East, but they do it going

278
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: ten and seven and get knocked out in the first

279
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: round of the playoffs.

280
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 6: That's my hot take about the Buffalo Bills.

281
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was the worst Hard Knocks I've ever seen.

282
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: I've seen them all is. HBO knew it was bad

283
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: because they made it thirty seven minutes. They didn't have

284
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: enough good material. Well, I think since teams get final editing,

285
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: we didn't see guys getting cut. I think after what

286
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: the Giants did last year and before leading up to

287
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: the draft scared everybody off. And most truth is, most

288
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: teams want their in house people doing things like Hard Knocks,

289
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: which a lot of them do, because they'll be better.

290
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: And I felt bad for the HBO people because it

291
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: was terrible. They had something last night with Josh Adams,

292
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: Josh Adams Josh Allen handing hot different hot sauces to

293
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: two people from their production team and they're pouring sauce

294
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: on it and eating wings and answering his questions, and

295
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: I thought that may be the worst, the worst kitkit

296
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: whatever I've ever seen a hard knocks and I don't

297
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 2: know if it'll come back again because it was terrible.

298
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: As far as the Bills get knocked out, I've got

299
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: the Bills and Lions in the Super Bowl. I know

300
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: it's on ESPN today. One of the guys as the

301
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: Rams winning the Super Bowl and the Lions not even

302
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: making the playoffs after they went fifteen and two because

303
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: they lost their coordinators. But it's easy for everybody to

304
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: pick Baltimore, Kansas City, or Buffalo. And I know one thing,

305
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: I can't wait till Buffalo comes in here again after

306
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: the way that Texans treated Josh Allen to the worst

307
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 2: game of his career last season.

308
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: So I guess my take is pretty hot. Then General's

309
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: got him going to the Super Bowl. My take is hot,

310
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 3: scorching hot take. That's for I just worry about the

311
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: secondary for them. I worry about them repeating Josh's got

312
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 3: to put the cape on.

313
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 5: Well, they're still the best team in the ANFC East

314
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: untill further.

315
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 6: Now that's true.

316
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: So I agree with that, And look, I understand that

317
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: because in the AFC South.

318
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 6: The Texans are that team. Yeah, all right, let's get

319
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 6: to some of the.

320
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: Games that I have seen all off season. Was two

321
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: last week when Mike Tannenbaum, former GM picked the Titans

322
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: to win the AFC South and tried to justify it

323
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: on ESPN's Get Up, and they just just eviscerated him

324
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: because cam Ward was going to have a great season,

325
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: and he talked about Jade Daniels and they pointed out

326
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: all the talent he had around him that I don't

327
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: know if that's a hot take, that's just a terrible take, okay.

328
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 2: And if he wins it, if the Titans win the division,

329
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: he'll be a genius. And if they don't, well know

330
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: why he's not a GM.

331
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: Okay, you'll eat the newspaper. If the Titans, no, you're

332
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: not gonna do that again.

333
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 6: Test is doing that one, all right.

334
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: So let's get to some of the games here. The

335
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: Colts and the Dolphins. Indeed, the Horseshoe in action and

336
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: a one and a half point favorite against Miami. Look,

337
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: Miami getting a lot of negativity this preseason, and for

338
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: good reason. Are the Colts up of the task to

339
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: win at home with Jonathan Taylor running the rock and

340
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones at least they hope doesn't turn the ball over.

341
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 5: What do you think happens.

342
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: If Jonathan Taylor runs it thirty times, they'll win. But

343
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: I'm going with Miami being ridiculed like crazy. They still

344
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: have a dynamic offense, and I think Miami is gonna

345
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: be explosive. I think they're gonna win nine or ten

346
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 2: games and compete, but not earn a wild card birth.

347
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 6: Okay, see, I'm not my hot take. I don't know.

348
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: I just there's something about Miami that I'm not like. No, No,

349
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 3: the pre pants could be, it could be.

350
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 6: Part of it, but I just I don't know.

351
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: I like Weave as an Even's coordinator, so I don't

352
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: want to see him do horrible even. Plus we're not

353
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: playing them, so you don't care at that point. But

354
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: I just there's something about them that that bothers me.

355
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: Here's the other one that's bothering me general, the Travis

356
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: Hunter is gonna win eight MVPs in the Rookie of

357
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: the Year all in his first year. It's driving me crazy.

358
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: This hype train that's going on to Jacksonville. Jacksonville's got

359
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: the Panthers anyway. The Panthers could pull the upset.

360
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: Uh, they could, but I don't expect it. I think

361
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: the Jaguars are gonna be second to the Texans because

362
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: I think Liam Cohen is finally gonna do a good

363
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: somebody's gonna do a good job with Trevor Lawrence and uh.

364
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: I just a lot of people are picking the Panthers

365
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 2: to win seven or eight games. I just don't see it.

366
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: You know, we didn't see anything here with the joint

367
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: practice or the game. Now I know that's what it was,

368
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 2: but I just don't see it. Maybe maybe next.

369
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: Year, Okay, all right, we'll see how that shakes out.

370
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: So you like the Jags over the Panthers, I don't

371
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: have to ask you who you're picking. With the Titans

372
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: visiting Denver, this is a tough place for them to

373
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: begin their season the cam Ward era. But you mentioned

374
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: this earlier with the tantabamb pick. Cam Warrick can have

375
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: a really good season, but they could win only five

376
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: six games. It could turn out that way for the Titans.

377
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: They could have that hope for the future. If he

378
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: has a statistically good season and they have some moments.

379
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: I'll put that in their quotes along the way. Is

380
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: that what you anticipate out of them?

381
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll they never admit this, but if they could

382
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: win six games with a rookie quarterback in double last

383
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: season's victories, they would know that they're on their way.

384
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: Remember and Gary could be that game in here and

385
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: won six games after two, people are like, wow, they're

386
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 2: on their way. And I do think this. A lot

387
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: of people are picking Denver to win the AFC West

388
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: and Kansas City was fifteen and two last year. And

389
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: I don't think Chiefs are going to the super Bowl

390
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl loser to go back to the

391
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And Denver's got a great defense at bo

392
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 2: Niggs's going into this, I can hear, and Sean Payton

393
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: is a great coach, and they should just annihilate the Titans.

394
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: But I'm sure not picking them to dethrone the Chiefs

395
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: until they actually do it.

396
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 3: All Right, this is always a tough, tough one at

397
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year. So this is for both

398
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: of you. Okay, there's all this hype, so all this

399
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: talk about teams, blah blah blah. This team's got this,

400
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: this team's got that, this team's gonna be the most

401
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 3: improved team.

402
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 6: In the league.

403
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: This team made a lot of signings, et cetera. What team, general,

404
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: you go first? What team right now is the most

405
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: overrated team in the NFL? Which team do you think

406
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: is the most underrated team in the NFL? Mark you

407
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 3: get to consider that too. Most overrated team is most

408
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: underrated team.

409
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: Is well, I'll say the underrated and I'm not the

410
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: only one saying it because I like Mike Brabo. You know,

411
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: he took the Titans to THEFC championship game. He had

412
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: a great running game. He's gonna have a great running game.

413
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: He's got a really good quarterback in Drake May. It's

414
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: got Josh McDaniels, who was a terrible head coach but

415
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 2: a great coordinator. I think that the Patriots are going

416
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: to have the most improvement. And this sounds terrible, but

417
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: I just can't. A lot of people are picking the

418
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: Chargers to do big things. I saw people having Just

419
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: Herbert as the third best quarterback in the NFL, ahead

420
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: of Lamar Jackson, and I just I don't see it.

421
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: I could see the Chargers being overrated. With Jim Barball,

422
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: They've They've got injury issues, and I can't help thinking

423
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: the last time we saw the Chargers, the Texans just

424
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: embarrassed them. So I'm going to say the team that

425
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 2: everybody's HIPing up being better in Harbaugh's now that he's

426
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 2: had time with them, I'm thinking they're going to take

427
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: a step back.

428
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: Underrated the rate, Oh, I like it. I think the

429
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna do some things here, But I do

430
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: some things. I mean with nine or ten maybe right,

431
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: because I think this is one of the best coaches

432
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: of our era, there's no question about it. And Gino

433
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: is a pretty good quarterback. He's always underrated, he's always overlooked,

434
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: and all he does is win games. He had ten

435
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: wins last year in Seattle. They didn't make the playoffs,

436
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: but they won ten games with McDonald as the head coach.

437
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: Last time he was with Pete, they won nine in Seattle.

438
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: Now they're together in Raiderville and they've got genty run

439
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: of the rock for them, and.

440
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: He's gonna be the offensive rookie of the year.

441
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

442
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 6: I like Raiders are gonna have.

443
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 2: The offensive rookie the year, not the Jaguars.

444
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't have as much scientific evidence for this overrated pick,

445
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: but I'm really hopeful Denver. I hate Denver. Like Sean Payton.

446
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that thing working. If anybody's

447
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: right for a sophomore slump is bo Nicks, who's a

448
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old sophomore whatever age he's at right

449
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: now in his life. I want to see that thing

450
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: go down the tubes in the AFC West. But I

451
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: don't want to see the Chiefs benefit either. So I

452
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: don't know what Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs, Broncos.

453
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 6: Let's go. Yeah, that's my order. Man.

454
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 3: You guys picking the former Oregon Duck quarterbacks too, both

455
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: of you on the overrated bo Nix and Justin Herbert.

456
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 6: I'm with you with Devers.

457
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: The Broncos need to be overrated. When they come in

458
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: here and Janis McNair is going up into the rafters.

459
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: Well, her name is yes, Yes, she's not gonna go

460
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: up to herself. She might be standing up to be like, yeah,

461
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: she'll be up there with Toro Rick, s.

462
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: Uffing the placard off and showing her name, but no,

463
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 3: I think she's gonna be next to Mark.

464
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, well, I hope to be down on

465
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: the field. You know, I'm gonna go down there right

466
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: before the half, and you guys are gonna done that

467
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: before the Cats away, and you guys are gonna be

468
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: calling the game and having a great time doing it, Yeah,

469
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: doing play by play.

470
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: My underrated. I'm gonna go with the New York Jets.

471
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot unknown about the Jets.

472
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the Jets. Underrated, underrated.

473
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: I think, wait, the left tackles out, I know, but still,

474
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: you got Justin Fields a quarterback round.

475
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: I just I like leaving your guy a g I look,

476
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 3: I just think they're gonna get to seven, eight wins,

477
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: and people are gonn look up and go man, AG did.

478
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 5: It was seven? Two years ago?

479
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: Was Zach Wilson. They couldn't get to seven? I know,

480
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 3: but I don't. I don't know if they have that

481
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: kind of talent anymore.

482
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 5: I don't know.

483
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 3: We'll see, but I would say Jets. Nobody's really talking

484
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: about the Jets.

485
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 6: It's just weird.

486
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 5: I think it's fine.

487
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 6: It's just and I love AG.

488
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I still don't understand why he didn't

489
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: go to New Orleans rated.

490
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm done listening to this, they're

491
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: gonna win the division. They got Travis Unter playing both ways.

492
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: I am done with that.

493
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 5: Jack Jarvis Hunter on your where was Travis' Oh?

494
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 6: I had him as guy.

495
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: I hadm number two, number two, number two behind Abdual Carter. Yeah,

496
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 3: because your jit player. Look, don't get me wrong.

497
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm just so you're not projecting him two way player,

498
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: superstar that kind of thing.

499
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: Right now.

500
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: He's by the way check because he had that abdominantly

501
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: shot in the preseason. But he's clear of that now,

502
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: so he's not on their practice status reports.

503
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 6: I just know what's gonna happen. General, you know what's

504
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 6: gonna happen. Mark, you know what's gonna happen.

505
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: He's gonna make one catch, make somebody miss, and it'll

506
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: be like a twenty five yard game in Week one

507
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden.

508
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 6: Rookie of the year, Rookie of the year.

509
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: Do you see that, He's gonna make a viral Odale

510
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: Beckham type catch and he's gonna be overrated.

511
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 6: You're not gonna hear the end of it.

512
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: Who do you double team there in Jacksonville? Nobody.

513
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 6: I don't a double team either one of them with

514
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 6: the two corners we got.

515
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got. I'm just talking about generally.

516
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 6: Generally, I would take away Brian Thomas.

517
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: That should be two great receivers.

518
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: I would probably double Brian Thomas Junior right now. That's

519
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: where I would start it, and then see what Travis

520
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 3: does and then kind of kind of play it, you know,

521
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: play by year at that point.

522
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 6: But Brian Thomas Junior is legit. Don't don't get your secondary.

523
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 5: They're not gonna want to double anybody.

524
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, go after them, pass rush because we

525
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: want these picks. When these errant throws launch from the backfield.

526
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 6: Twelve at the quarterback, we got the rest back here.

527
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 6: That's that they don't care.

528
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: All right, General, Hey, how's the documentary going? Give us

529
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: the latest on your documentary and the integration of Texas

530
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: high school football.

531
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: In two weeks, we are headed to Canton to I've

532
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: got the Hall of Fame to let us shoot after hours,

533
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: to shoot the bus of the players, and we can't

534
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: wait to make that trip to Kenton.

535
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: General, thanks a lot for being with us.

536
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 6: Thank you guys.

537
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: Have a safe and fun trip to La Oh.

538
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: Yes, we're looking forward to it very much, and we're

539
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: also looking forward to More Likely to Happen first regular

540
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: season edition coming up next year on Texans Radio. Back

541
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: here in the beautiful brand new Hyundai Texans Radio studio.

542
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: And nothing like a beautiful brand new Hyundai by the way,

543
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: from your Houston area Hyundai dealers, including Sterling McCall where I.

544
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: Go a lot. Anyway, how about that for a plug?

545
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 5: Johnny got that in there.

546
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've seen the studio by the way, folks listeners,

547
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: you see it on YouTube and on Texans Playbook, our

548
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: weekly TV show ten thirty five Saturday nights on ABC thirteen,

549
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: and the YouTube VIDs the Demico Ryan's vid up. I

550
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: think Nick Cassari is up there, Dari and whiley all

551
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: the stuff taught to Frank Ross. Also, that's gonna be

552
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: up soon enough, if it's not already. But let's get

553
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: to the game that swept the nation years ago and

554
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: still is sweeping. It rivals Jeopardy and Let's Make a

555
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: Deal and all the classic game shows. It's called more

556
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: Likely to Happen, Let's go Yes, and we're the only

557
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: too who play it. But we think it's as popular

558
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: all right, more likely to happen? Okay, I don't want

559
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: to be negative here, and I'm not going to be

560
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk with the hamstring injury on the injury report

561
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: if he can't go, Johnny, who's second on the team

562
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: in catches this week, this week, never mind the year,

563
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: this week. If Christian Kirk cannot go, well.

564
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: It's not as if Adam Schefter is the end all

565
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: be all, but Schefty reporting that the straight hamstring for

566
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: Kirk is expected to sideline him for at least Sunday's

567
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: opener against the Rams and possibly longer. He says the

568
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: source estimates it to be a two week injury for Kirk,

569
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: but the Texas will be cautious with him, and they

570
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 3: typically are, especially with hamstrengths. So should be should be

571
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: so at that point? Dalton Schultz or are you for

572
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: a receiver?

573
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: No, I'm looking for whoever has the second most receptions.

574
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: I think Dalton Schultz, and I think the next is

575
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: Kate Stover. I think it is going to be very

576
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: easy to forget about the tight ends. I do think

577
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna be times where one of the tight ends

578
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: has got to stay in and block and help at

579
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: least be there initially to help Ariante in particular Titus

580
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: if needed. You know, some guys, sometimes tackles don't like

581
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: having help because once the rusher sees the help, Like,

582
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: for instance, if you're facing Daniel and you go to

583
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: chip on him, they've got rules.

584
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 6: Texas do have rules for what they should do.

585
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: And I don't think tackles as much as they don't

586
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: like facing Daniel, I think they hate it because once

587
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: they get the chip, then Denio kind of goes spinning crazy,

588
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 3: and it's like, I don't want to see that.

589
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 6: I'd rather just take him one on one. So we'll see.

590
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: But I think that Dalton and Kate are gonna get

591
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: involved in this game. Have probably eight to nine completions

592
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: between the two of them. Okay, I think Nico's gonna

593
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: get his targets, and I don't mind force feeding his

594
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: targets to Nico. I'm good with that. It's Nico Collins.

595
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 3: He's one of the top five receivers in the league.

596
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 3: Force feeding the targets, that's good. I do think out

597
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: of the backfield, I think you're gonna have Nick with

598
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: a couple of catches. You're gonna have Damien with a

599
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: catcher too. You're gonna have Woody potentially with three or

600
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: four catches.

601
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: So now tell me who the next receiver on the

602
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: statuet is gonna be.

603
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 5: Besides Nico, I think.

604
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 6: Gonna rise up.

605
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: I think it's Jalen Knowle, Okay, because you know those

606
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: little push past things. Yeah, you know when he goes

607
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 3: in motion and you CJ's kind of flips it two,

608
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: that's a reception.

609
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 6: So I'm sure a little bit.

610
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that those that those little push

611
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: pass you know situations, you get that.

612
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 6: But I just think.

613
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: Jalen Nol more than likely step into the void of

614
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 3: Christian not being there.

615
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 6: Now.

616
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 3: I do think that if they're in twelve personnel to start,

617
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: which I would I'm expecting, which is one back, two

618
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: tight ends, leaving two receivers, I think Jadan Higgins is

619
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: gonna be that other wide receiver.

620
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 6: And I do think Jade's gonna make a play.

621
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: I feel like Jayden's due for like three for eighty

622
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: five and he's gonna have a big play.

623
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 6: One of them is gonna be a big play by

624
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 6: this week.

625
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh three for eighty five.

626
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because one of them is gonna be like a

627
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: forty five fifty sign me up, who are you gonna double?

628
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: If you're the Rams, who are you gonna double? You

629
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: can double somebody who All right, you're gonna make the

630
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 3: rookie prove it. So I don't even think the Rams

631
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: secondaries that could. So if you get the ball off,

632
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: I think you've got an opportunity to hit Higgins with

633
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: at least one deep ball. Adding a couple other catches,

634
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: it's very easy to get to eighty five.

635
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: At that way. I like talking to you. This is fun, Okay, fun,

636
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: Let's catch to the next one here. So more likely

637
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: to have more passing yards in this game. It's not

638
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: a who wins question. It's a fantasy football type question. Really,

639
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford or c. J. Stroud, Who's gonna have more

640
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: yards at the end of the day. And you could

641
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: say the quarterback who's down will have to throw it more,

642
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: he might have more yards. So it doesn't mean that

643
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: this information leads you to believe who's gonna win or lose.

644
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 5: But I just want to know your thoughts.

645
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: Stafford's gonna have more passing yards because I think what

646
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: ends up happening.

647
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 6: I know the one to run the ball, but I.

648
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: Think it's gonna be tough to run the ball against us,

649
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: just like I think it's gonna be very tough to

650
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: run the ball against them. But our linebackers are much

651
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 3: better than theirs, and I think it's gonna be ultra

652
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: difficult for Kyrin Williams to get going the way they

653
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: would like to.

654
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 6: Now they use Williams in a lot different ways.

655
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: I think he's one of more underrated players, not just

656
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: running backs, already players in the league. And I love him,

657
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: love him. The Ram's gotta steal with him day three

658
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: and then resigning him. I mean, they got to steal,

659
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: but I think the Texts is gonna shut him down.

660
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna force Stafford to have to throw,

661
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: and there's gonna come a point, hopefully in the second

662
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: half of the Texans have that lead, and Stafford's gotta throw, throw, throw, throw,

663
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: and the Texans eventually are gonna go They're gonna go

664
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 3: find it.

665
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 6: They're gonna go find the football once or twice.

666
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

667
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 3: And that kind of takes a game that's close and

668
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: puts it in front for the Texans, and that Stafford's

669
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 3: gonna throw and pile up some yards in the fourth quarter,

670
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 3: and I don't think it's gonna They're gonna.

671
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 6: Be hollow yards. So I think, and I think the

672
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 6: Texans have a lot of success.

673
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 3: They gotta run for one to twenty five CJ's gotta

674
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: throw for two fifty.

675
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 6: I think Stafford will.

676
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 3: Be over that because he's gonna have to because they're

677
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to run it against those Okay,

678
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: I like that. Would you take that run for one

679
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 3: to twenty five CJ for two fifty no turnovers?

680
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 5: Right now? Over what's behind door number two?

681
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 3: That's what you get. One twenty five CJ, two fifty

682
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 3: no turnovers. That's all you one one hundred.

683
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 5: All you know about this.

684
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: You don't have to ask me twice. Yes, I'll sign

685
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: up for all that one twenty and two fifty and

686
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: no two.

687
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 6: Five fifty no turnover.

688
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 5: That's a victory. Okay, that's a victory.

689
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 6: That's with this defense.

690
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 5: It's a victory I might take. Let you could have

691
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 5: gotten me for less.

692
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 6: How many points will it take? How many do you

693
00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 6: have to have to win?

694
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 5: I got it twenty four and a half.

695
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: I think you need twenty four plus to win this one,

696
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 1: because I think I do think that it's week one

697
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some maybe a turnover issue here, not issue,

698
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: but like maybe one.

699
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 5: So that's a problem.

700
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get it twice or at least

701
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: even up in that category, and I'll play them the

702
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: rest of the way.

703
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 5: It's so strange. Week one is always weird.

704
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: You don't know what you've got yet, you don't know

705
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: how they're gonna be with Stafford with the back issue.

706
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 3: Unscouted looks you get, You're like, oh, in the Rams

707
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 3: are the Rams are like the Dolphins, Like the Dolphins

708
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: always have like some goofy motion thing they're doing. It

709
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: kind of throws off your reeds and your rules trying

710
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 3: to adapt to that.

711
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 5: They knows Kaylee Keley knows McVeigh.

712
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 3: But I know you know, Chris that you know that

713
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: I know we.

714
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: Got all that stuff happening. All right, Next one, all right,

715
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: bear with me on this one. Jacksonville's playing Carolina, and

716
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: you have two number one overall picks at quarterback facing

717
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: off here, Bryce Young and Trevor Lawrence more likely to

718
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: not be with his team next season, Trevor Lawrence or

719
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: Bryce Young. Now, Trevor's got the contract, but if things

720
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: don't go well at all this year, what are you

721
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna do? And Bryce Young? If things don't go well

722
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: at all this year, what are you gonna do? So

723
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: you could have that question facing both of them. You could,

724
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you will, but you could so more

725
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: likely to not be with his team next season.

726
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence or Bryce Young.

727
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 6: I think it's Bryce Young, and I think you said it.

728
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 3: I think the contract is gonna be this albatross that

729
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 3: hangs over Jacksonville unless Trevor turns it around. Now, Trevor's

730
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: been in the league four years. Twenty twenty one, he

731
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: got Urban mired. Twenty twenty two. He was good for

732
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 3: half a season, twenty twenty three, he was decent for

733
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: half a season. In twenty twenty four, he wasn't good

734
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 3: really at all. So and they gave him a lot

735
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 3: of money. So I'm I just I don't. I mean,

736
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 3: I thought Trevor was gonna be that guy for them.

737
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 3: Andre thought it.

738
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 6: You did, and You're like, let's just let it play out,

739
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 6: and you were right, let it play out.

740
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 5: And they didn't let it play out because they gave

741
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 5: him the money four year four exactly have.

742
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 6: To They thought they had their guy and they.

743
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: Didn't want to be impolite. That's rude to not give

744
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: him the money before year four, right, And.

745
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 6: I think it is going to nip them in.

746
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 3: The backside because I think Trevor would have been a

747
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: kind of guy like, yeah, I didn't deserve it, I

748
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: should have played better, and I maybe he's not that guy.

749
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: But I don't think he would have held out. I

750
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: don't think he would have been a problem. He would

751
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: have tried to prove it last year. It didn't work, Okay,

752
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 3: well he's going into year five. Well you won in

753
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: a year five and better himself Joe Flacco in twenty twelve,

754
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 3: and it paid off in a major way. He got

755
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 3: a massive deal to come back to the Ravens after

756
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 3: winning a Super Bowl. Not not saying Trevor's won a

757
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 3: super Bowl, but maybe he should have maybe the Jacksonville

758
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,479
Speaker 3: Jaguars not maybe. I feel like the Jacksonville Jaguars should

759
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: have definitely let that one play out.

760
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 6: He was not pick up the fifty.

761
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 3: Year option, that's fine, but don't give him a contract

762
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: that is going to be in albatross for years to come.

763
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 5: Yeah.

764
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 6: I just don't see it.

765
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: So but but I think the contract keeps him there

766
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: with Bryce, even though I do think Bryce will have

767
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: a better year. I think it's in the Just using

768
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 3: those twos, I can just see them saying, no, yeah,

769
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 3: it's not there yet. We got to go find somebody

770
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: else in Temper getting really antsy, going out and getting

771
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 3: some hot name or whoever it might be out there

772
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: and trying to convince such and such to go there.

773
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 3: I don't know who that would be, but I could

774
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 3: see him trying to do that and moving on from Bryce.

775
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 5: Okay, let's get to the final one.

776
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 6: More likely to happen, more likely.

777
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: To have a better season, the Baltimore Ravens, who opened

778
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: up Sunday Night against Buffalo on the road, the Sunday

779
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: Night primetime showdown.

780
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 5: Boy, the league knows how to do this, Yep, they

781
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 5: know how to schedule these babies.

782
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: Or the Kansas City Chiefs playing in the Brazilian as

783
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: I call it, the Brazilian Game against the LA Chargers.

784
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: Who's gonna have the better season this year? Baltimore or case.

785
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 6: I think the Ravens now.

786
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 3: Part of that is because I always picked the Ravens,

787
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: and in some sense, from a prediction standpoint, they always

788
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: let me down. They always get that divisional playoff round.

789
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 3: But I was convinced after we saw them Christmas Day.

790
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: I remember talking to people afterwards like holy crap. Like

791
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 3: in my mind, I'm like, yeah, I We'll go play

792
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: anybody anywhere, anytime. But I'm like, oh, go to Baltimore

793
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: and face that. And then they lose to Buffalo because

794
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 3: they stepped all over themselves. They dropped passes at the

795
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 3: end of the game, lamar fulm the ball that they

796
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 3: returned for a long score, like they just shot themselves

797
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 3: in the foot. But Baltimore is the more talented group

798
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 3: of players. I think Kansas City is the better team

799
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 3: right now, but I think Kansas City is vulnerable, and

800
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: I think that Baltimore maybe not beating Kansas City all that,

801
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 3: but I just think Baltimore's be a tough nut to crack.

802
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 6: There are some that think the Bengals are going to

803
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 6: take that division. I don't see it.

804
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 3: I don't see it because when you look at that

805
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: secondary in Baltimore, you look at the offensive line growing together,

806
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: eight and twenty two together.

807
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 6: Come on, man, are you kidding me? Now?

808
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: You throw Hop in there, the ultimate at this point

809
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: possession receiver. Yeah, I mean, say, Flowers as good as

810
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: he is, Andrews has still got a little left in

811
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 3: the tank. You's just got to get over that game

812
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 3: against Buffalo last year. I think this, and they may

813
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 3: start slow. They might start slow. They start slow a lot,

814
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 3: then they get hot. But again, nobody's really gonna care

815
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 3: there in Baltimore talking about the Ravens until you get

816
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: until you get to the playoffs and what they do

817
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: in the playoff situation. So I just think that Baltimore

818
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 3: is that much more talented than a lot of teams

819
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: around the league.

820
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: What do you think if Pittsburgh can stay healthy for

821
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: the bulk of the season, Quarterback TJ.

822
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 5: Heyward.

823
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: You know, if those guys can stay healthy, they could

824
00:40:58,239 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: do some damage.

825
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 6: I'll tell you that.

826
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 3: I think in Pittsburgh that Aaron Rodgers, DK metcalf all that,

827
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: whatever you want to say about the Pats whatever, I

828
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: think it's Jalen Warren. I think Warren is a running back,

829
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: gives them kind of Bucky Irving like impact, like Bucky

830
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 3: Irving did last year with the Buccaneers. I think that's

831
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: why they went away from Naji Harris because they're like, look,

832
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: we got this guy in the fifth round.

833
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 6: This dude could play.

834
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 3: He is really tough to tackle and he epitomizes us

835
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 3: as a Steeler even more than Nag does. So I

836
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 3: think if that guy stays healthy and they lean on

837
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: him a little bit more, I think Pittsburgh ends up

838
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 3: being a tough out again. Can you keep all those

839
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 3: thirty somethings and even a forty something healthy?

840
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 6: Can you do that? And that's a That's that's a stretch,

841
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:48,959
Speaker 6: very tough.

842
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 5: That's a stretch, very tough.

843
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 6: I know that happens.

844
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all.

845
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: Gonna be very much worth watching, and it all starts

846
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: tonight with the Eagles and the Cowboys.

847
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 5: Gonna be fun.

848
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna definitely be fun.

849
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 3: But to that Pittsburgh point, how many of those guys

850
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 3: in the staying healthy?

851
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: I know that's why I said if that's a huge

852
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: if for them. But I've always had problems. Yeah, Okay,

853
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: coming up injury report Houston Methodist minutes, first one of

854
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: the season. Let's get into it next here as we

855
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: wrap things up prior to the opening game of the

856
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: NFL season, Eagles and Cowboys here on Texans Radio. On

857
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: the way out here on Texans Radio. Tonight, let's talk

858
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: about some injury situations as the hamstring bug has been

859
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: biting a bit with Christian Kirk and Braxton Barrios and

860
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: Johnny read the report by Adam Schefter. I didn't even

861
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: need that report. I know it's trouble if you have

862
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: a hamstring week one on a Wednesday and you miss practice,

863
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean that cannot be good. Doctor Van Drmer does

864
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: not like this at all. But you have a lot

865
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: of players for a reason. You have guys who can

866
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: fill in the gaps. And Christian Kirk, I think, leaves

867
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: a big gap. I know you haven't played a real

868
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: game with him yet, but this is an important player

869
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: for your team. But you have these youngsters, and you

870
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: have Justin Watson and you have Xavier Hut So we'll

871
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: see how they go. Of course, Nico Collins is the

872
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: star of the show, and we'll see about putt returns

873
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: if Barrios is a non factor as well, because that

874
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: is a key key element. And maybe it's no, maybe

875
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: it's somebody else because a lot of guys took their

876
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: turns in training camp at returning punts. Good to see

877
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson getting better from an illness as well. All right,

878
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: let's get to this Houston Methodist Minutes. We're going to

879
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: do ankle injuries today with doctor Jason Awero of Houston Methodist.

880
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 5: Doctor, how's it going. I'm doing well, Mark, how are

881
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 5: you doing well?

882
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: Here we go with the twenty twenty five season. Let's

883
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: talk foot and ankle injuries. We'll start with ankles and

884
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: tell me what's the most common ankle injury.

885
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 5: Let's say for lay people, not just athletes. What do

886
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 5: you see? Doctor?

887
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 4: Overwhelmingly? Mark, you know, lateral ankle sprains are going to

888
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 4: be the most common injury that presents to my office.

889
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it is the number one muscle sculltle injury

890
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 4: that occurs. You know, almost nearly everybody's point in their

891
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 4: lives is going to probably have a lateral sprain. And

892
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 4: you know, thankfully a lot of those do well. But

893
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: you know, we know now that probably up to forty

894
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 4: percent of these can have some long term issues with them.

895
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: All right, So when you see these, what is the

896
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: standard treatment?

897
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 5: Usually?

898
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: Because I know you have different degrees of ankle sprains,

899
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: tell us about.

900
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 4: That, correct, Yeah, So there's so grade one sprains are

901
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 4: really just a stretch of the lateral ligaments these are

902
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 4: caused and all of these are caused by sort of

903
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 4: an inversion, so basically inward twisting of the ankle you

904
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 4: have pain on the outside. Grade two is going to

905
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 4: indicate kind of more of a partial tear of the ligament,

906
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 4: and Grade three is more of a complete tear of

907
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 4: the later ankle ligaments. And you know, the more the

908
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 4: higher the grade, the more instability of the ankle there is,

909
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 4: the more uh, it's the higher risk for more long

910
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 4: term issues with those.

911
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: Is Grade three a surgery requirement or can you recover

912
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: without that?

913
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 4: All right? So not, you know, not an absolute surgery requirement.

914
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 4: I mean, most lateral sprains we try to treat conservatively

915
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 4: through initial a mobilization and a boot or a brace

916
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 4: followed by rehab. And you know a lot of these

917
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 4: will you know, the ligaments will scar back together and

918
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 4: do fine, you know, not not like an ACL rupture

919
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 4: where most people that are active are going to need

920
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 4: to have that reconstructed.

921
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 5: All right.

922
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: So for athletes in general, stretching does help, does it not?

923
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: There is some prevention possibility here, right, correct?

924
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 4: I think I think you know, good warm up as

925
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 4: well as doing a lot of work in the gym

926
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 4: on their balance and prop reception using these various you

927
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 4: know bosoue balls and wabble board apparatus when they're lifting

928
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 4: to help really strengthen their lateral you know muscles as

929
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 4: well as work on their balance and you know position

930
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 4: sense of their foot.

931
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: Doctor Jason Awero of Houston Methodist. It's the official healthcare

932
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: provider of the Houston Texans. Houston Methodist leading medicine. And

933
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,640
