1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,000
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody?

2
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,559
Speaker 2: Welcome in too, a Wednesday edition of Texans All acces S.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris, Football an a asylum reporter

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: for your Houston Texans, and I really hope this isn't

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: the last Wednesday edition because with an unfortunate result over

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 2: the weekend, well we won't be here next Wednesday, and

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: that will be unfortunate in many many ways. Like a

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: lot of people want to see this season continue for

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: many reasons. I mark everybody in our group, everybody that

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: talks in the radio, every Texans fan wants that win

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: up in Indie. Look, a lot of us remember twenty

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: eighteen and the Colt's coming here Colts Texans playoff game.

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: I mean just saying that is crazy, and then the

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: Texans went out and laid a massive egg in that game,

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: and it's just left a bitter pill. Well, this is

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: a pseudo playoff game happening on Saturday night, and excited

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: about it, nervous all the emotions, but basically just trying

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: to get our work together so we can get on

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: that bird go to Indianapolis and then wait for seven

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: to fifteen Saturday night. If you're going to the game,

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: it's eight fifteen, remember Indianapolis. He's got that weird funky

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: like they're on Daylight Saving Time, but they're not. I

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: don't know what it is, but it's eight fifteen up there,

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: seven to fifteen down here.

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: So make sure you're in front of the TV.

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: And most importantly listening to the radio broadcast on to

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 2: Oards Radio six y ten or on the Texans app.

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: You listen to Mark Andre and myself.

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: We would really appreciate that. Of course, now we got

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: plenty to do on tonight's show. We have got the

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: slant with Charlie Heck, we got Matt Taylor, the voice

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: of the Indiapolis Colts. As we go men behind the

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Mike Squallso have a little in the lab with my

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: man Andrew Doherty, and we'll have Nick Cassario coming up

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: in just a little bit. So that's what we got

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: to do. We gotta go with the injury report, kind

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: of talk about that. Mark's gonna join me. We're gonna

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: talk a little playoff scenarios. There is a scenario that

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: I that I missed because I wasn't thinking about one

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: result that could happen on Saturday night. It's not a result.

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: I think either the Colts or the Texans want, or

42
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: should say neither of the Texans nor the Colts want.

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: But it's a possibility and it could be a good possibility.

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: It just depends on what happens in Nashville with the

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Titans taken on Jaguars.

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: But that will save for our.

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: Next segment because we got to kick it off with

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: Executive vice president Football ops and general Manager Nick Casario.

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: He jumped in the studio with us on shoot, I

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: think on Monday. I think that's what it was, and

51
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: we had a lot to talk about, uh, the addition

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: of Kareem Jackson even here tart thoughts of the Titans game,

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: and of course it's got.

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: A report for the Indianapolis Colts. Let's go mark me. Nick, Now, wow,

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: here we go down here.

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: I feel like we just did this like two days ago.

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: You know.

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Okas goes there we go joining us now in the

59
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: Hunday Texans radio studio. It's Executive vice president and general

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: manager Nick Cassario. Nick, Happy new Year, Great to have

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: you with.

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: Us, Happy New Year. Fellow's good to be here.

63
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: And Johnny's here too today. How about that he's back?

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was able to work this any schedule.

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, let me back in the building.

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean, geez, if you're superstitious like me, I'm surprised

67
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: I'm still here because I wasn't here.

68
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: Oh here we go. Well we got a few with Johnny,

69
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: so that does count.

70
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: The more the merrier, Yeah, you go.

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: Well, Nick, it's like a playoff week in that it's

72
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: win and you're in against the Colts on Saturday and

73
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: Demiko Ryans always talks about earning the right to do something. Well,

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 3: the Texans organization has earned the right to be here

75
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: with this situation.

76
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've earned the opportunity here with the game Saturday night.

77
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 5: So I mean credit to the players and the coaches

78
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 5: and putting themselves in a position, putting the organization in

79
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: a position here. So you know, I think the big

80
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 5: thing is, you know, a shorter week here, but just

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: getting ready to play a good football team on Saturday

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 5: night on the road at home. It'll probably be a

83
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: pre Rockets environment, but you know, this is why you

84
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 5: play football. So if you like competition, I mean, Saturday

85
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: night in India will be a good place to be.

86
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: Nick.

87
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: There are a lot of different mantras that you know,

88
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: talking about swarm, et cetera. But the one that the

89
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: two of y'all have talked with us about that I

90
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: feel like it just epitomizes the season is we'll figure

91
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: it out. You've been faced with injury here, suspension there,

92
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: and yet you continue to figure it out. And I

93
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: feel like Tennessee this game on Sunday was emblematic of that.

94
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: Derek Barnett second half for you know, quarterback hits, I

95
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: mean the way he played off the edge not having Grenard,

96
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: but by Jay Sanders comes in and gives you some

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: good reps. We'll figure it out. As a mantra that

98
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: you guys have continued to follow no matter what, how

99
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: is that really kind of paid off in your eyes?

100
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's really about a mindset and overall mentality. I mean,

101
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: our job really is to fix problems and find solutions.

102
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 5: So I mean nobody really cares how you do it.

103
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 5: So you can adopt certain mindset and philosophy and feel

104
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: sorry for yourselves, or you can just attack it aggressively

105
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: with the right mentality and the right mindset. And that's

106
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 5: the truth is you have to find a way, given

107
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 5: your resource is to figure it out. So that's what

108
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: we're basically paid to do. That's our responsibility to each

109
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 5: other within the building, and I think the players have

110
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 5: done a great job of responding to that. There's been

111
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 5: multiple examples throughout the course of the year. I mean,

112
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: go back and look at the Cincinnati game. We were

113
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 5: down multiple players. Nonetheless, we had a number of players

114
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: that took advantage of the opportunity when they intermade plays.

115
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 5: So it's about making plays when you're giving the opportunity

116
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: to perform. Everybody is in the building for a reason,

117
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: and your job is to get yourself ready to play

118
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: because you really never know when it's going to happen,

119
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 5: so you just want to make sure that you're physically

120
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 5: and mentally ready for that chance when it presents itself.

121
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: I want to ask the weekly running game question, but

122
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: it's evolved, Nick, because in the back nine of the

123
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: season here, you've been able to develop the ground game

124
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: even more. And I know it's not maybe exactly where

125
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: you want it to be, but it's certainly paying dividends

126
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: for you right now consistently.

127
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've put a lot of work into it, and

128
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: the Backs have done a nice job of gaining yards,

129
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: and I think the one thing that we've eliminated sort

130
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 5: of knock on wood or some of the zero and

131
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 5: negative runs. So when you take those out of the equation,

132
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 5: then you can focus on the positive runs that take place.

133
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: And even in the game the other day against Tennessee,

134
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 5: there were very few sort of zero negative runs. I mean,

135
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 5: Motor popped the one out there to the edge for

136
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: twenty some odd yards. A corner lost, contained lost the force,

137
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 5: and Motor popped it out there. It was good instinctive

138
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: played by him. So the run game takes everybody. It's combination.

139
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: It's not just the offensive line in the backs. The

140
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 5: tight ends are a part of the receivers are a

141
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 5: part of it, as we've seen throughout the course of

142
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 5: the year. So we've been able to put some consistent

143
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 5: games together. But anytime you can run the football and

144
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: put yourself in favorable situations, it's just better for you offensively.

145
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: On the other side of the ball.

146
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: Against the run, Derrick Henry combined for fifty one yards

147
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: and two games against US, which for anybody that's watched

148
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: him from twenty nineteen on, you'd be like, wait, what

149
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: fifty one yards? But the run defense has continued to

150
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: get better Nick, what's been kind of the secret to that.

151
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it all starts with the front and starts with

152
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 5: the defensive line. So the front four, I mean, the

153
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 5: defensive line, the linebackers is a big part of that

154
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: as well, but the secondary is huge part of the

155
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 5: run for us as well. So run defense takes everybody.

156
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 5: It's just not one individual. There's gap responsibilities. Making sure

157
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 5: that you maintain the integrity of the defense, make sure

158
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: that you're disciplined, and I think the one thing the

159
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: player has done a great job of is getting multiple

160
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: hats to the football and then come out of the

161
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 5: stack in pursuit. So even if the ball does break

162
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 5: into the second level, a defensive line is chasing and closing.

163
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: So run defense is a collective effort, playing with good discipline,

164
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: playing with good integrity, and just making sure that your sound,

165
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: which I would say the indie game will certainly be

166
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 5: a big part of this because they're running game has

167
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 5: been as good as any.

168
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: Elgue.

169
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's talk about not the opponent, but

170
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: the short week nature of things, Nick, because we mentioned

171
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: it feels like a playoff week, and the short week

172
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: has something to do with that because in playoffs, very

173
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: often you're on a short week and it's not like

174
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: you're playing a Thursday game. But what are some of

175
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: the things that we have to be aware of as

176
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: the Texans prepare.

177
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, the big thing from a player standpoint, you just

178
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 5: lose a day sort of physically to recover. So you

179
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: have to try to maximize the time that you have

180
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: and get in your body sort of physically.

181
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: Ready to go. Me mentally, we'll be ready to go.

182
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's similar to Tennessee, but a

183
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 5: little bit different. You know, where you have an opponent

184
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 5: that is in your division. Now we didn't we've played India.

185
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 5: It was week two or whatever it was, so we've

186
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 5: had a number of weeks here. But at least we're

187
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 5: familiar with how they want to play, familiar with their personnel,

188
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: so we sort of have to reorient ourselves, reorient ourselves

189
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 5: with what they do. But really what you have to

190
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: do is just try to maximize every day. We'll probably

191
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 5: early in the week it will be slower paced, probably

192
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 5: have a couple decent days of practice, and then we

193
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 5: get an airplane Friday. You know, we'll have Saturday to

194
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 5: kind of I would say recover, and you just want

195
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 5: to try to maximize your opportunities so that when you

196
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: go out there Saturday night at eight fifteen or whatever time,

197
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: we play like you're physically and mentally ready to go.

198
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 5: And then it's about playing football and it'll be about execution.

199
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 2: Speaking of recovery out back after missing a couple of games, Nick,

200
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: were your all thoughts about the way CJ played?

201
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, CJ played well.

202
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 5: I mean execute the offense, made good decisions, got the

203
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: ball out fast, was accurate with the ball. We were

204
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 5: able to get some completions kind of early in drives.

205
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: I mean, it didn't necessarily have maybe some of the

206
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 5: chunk plays that we've had, but there were positive plays

207
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 5: and overall, I mean, the offensive line did a good

208
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: job blocking. He wasn't hit very much, so I'd say,

209
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 5: you know, the way the game was called, Bobby did

210
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: a great job of kind of just keeping it moving

211
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: there a little bit, you know, against the defense that

212
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 5: kind of gives you multiple looks. But I think as

213
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 5: the game went on, CJ became more and more comfortable.

214
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 5: I mean, he did a great job and ConTroll of

215
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: what he can control for two weeks.

216
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: But you know, the staff, Bobby JJ, you know Girod,

217
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: you know, coach Laser.

218
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody did a good job of kind of

219
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 5: getting him ready to go when he went out there,

220
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: and you know, he played a good, solid game.

221
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: The CJ to Nico connection, Nick, it looks very special.

222
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: CJ anticipating a lot of things, Nico knowing exactly where

223
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 3: to go. What about that connections Actually from a rookie quarterback,

224
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: he just seems to have a knack for finding the

225
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: right time to throw the football.

226
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it comes down to work. I mean those two

227
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 5: have spent a lot of time together. I mean really

228
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 5: CJ's spent a lot of time with a lot of

229
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 5: the skilled players. But when you're working with the receiver group,

230
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 5: you're trying to see would say, nuances, body language, trying

231
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 5: to see how they come out of breaks and anticipate

232
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: where to place the ball. Is a player going to

233
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 5: be in the right spot. So there's always a combination

234
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 5: of things. But I think their confidence has grown as

235
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 5: a year has progressed, and they're two good football players.

236
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: They've gone out there and really helped our team throughout

237
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 5: the course of the year. So hopefully they can continue

238
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: that here Saturday and against the Colts.

239
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: Nick, when you took over this job a few years

240
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: ago and envision where you thought the organization could go

241
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: and what it could do. Is it heading in that

242
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: direction the way you saw it a few years ago

243
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: when you took over this job.

244
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, try not to look back too much,

245
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 5: but I mean, the big thing, you just want to

246
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 5: try to make progress and just move the organization and

247
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 5: the right direction. I think over the last few years

248
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 5: we've been able to do that. But in the end,

249
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 5: it's about the players. So if you get the right

250
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: players and get everybody in the building with the right mindset,

251
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 5: and you know, Demiko has been a massive part of

252
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 5: that as well. So honestly, you just have to take

253
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: it one day at a time because you really never

254
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 5: know what the next day is going to bring, so

255
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 5: you can only control what you can control. Try to

256
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: make good sound decisions, realizing some are going to work,

257
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 5: some aren't going to work, and just try to mitigate

258
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 5: sort of the risk that's involved. But you know, credit

259
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 5: to a lot of people in our building starts specifically

260
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: with the players and coaches.

261
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: We certainly made progress.

262
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 5: We get ourselves an opportunity, but that's all we're guaranteed

263
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 5: is the opportunity we have Saturday night. So whatever happens

264
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 5: in the twenty twenty three season, whenever it does finish,

265
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 5: we're going to put that in the books, and then

266
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: it'll be about the twenty twenty four season and building

267
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 5: that team and doing the things that are necessary and

268
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: conducive to winning.

269
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: All Right, one more prep question before Johnny asks his

270
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: opponent scouting report question. You mentioned it the day in

271
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: the hotel, you play a night game, and you haven't

272
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: done this yet this year other than the preseason games.

273
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: You have to harken back to that. But that's a

274
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: dynamic right all day long in the hotel, and you've

275
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: been part of many of these and probably seen it

276
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: handled a bunch of different ways.

277
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no right or wrong answer.

278
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 5: We've basically been on a get up and go play football,

279
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 5: you know, this season, so this will be a little

280
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 5: bit different. You know, you want to make sure that

281
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: you're up and moving that morning, like get a little

282
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 5: bit more rest Friday into Saturday. But you want to

283
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: get up, you want to get breakfast, you want to

284
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: get moving. We'll have some meetings, we'll have a walk through,

285
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 5: maybe go outside and get some fresh air. You just

286
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: don't want to sit around and do nothing, but also

287
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 5: understand that you know you're gonna play the game later

288
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: in a day, so you want to make sure your

289
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: body is sort of you ready for that. So everybody

290
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 5: has a different routine that they stick to, but you

291
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 5: want to try to keep it consistent. You just have

292
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 5: to modify the timing of it a little bit. But

293
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 5: we'll do some things to help the players. And there's

294
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 5: no right or wrong answer, it's just what do we

295
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 5: think is the best thing for the team. Try to

296
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 5: but I think the big thing is getting up and

297
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 5: moving around and just not sitting on your ass doing

298
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 5: nothing all day.

299
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: Week two is a law long time ago. We did

300
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: not see Jonathan Taylor, we did see Anthony Richardson, We

301
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: had Tank Dell going for us. There are a lot

302
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: of things that have happened since Week two. There are

303
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: probably some veterans that are gonna start on defense, and

304
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: I think we're with us on the roster. Two totally

305
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: different teams seemingly from that moment. Let's focus on the Colts,

306
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: which at back Scott and report. For the Colts, well,

307
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: we can see week eight team. Yeah, I mean they're

308
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: a good football team.

309
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 5: They've put themselves in a position similar to ourselves, so

310
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: they probably haven't lost as many players. And I think offensively,

311
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 5: I and Shane's done a great job of that. There

312
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 5: are po system I mean the way they play. They

313
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 5: have a certain style that they want to play. And

314
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 5: we saw Minshew really in the second quarter second of

315
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 5: our game and he played really well in that game.

316
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 5: And Gardner's done a good job just providing I would

317
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 5: say a solid, steady presence for them offensively, makes good decisions,

318
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: it has a lot of experience, he's accurate with the football,

319
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 5: and they have good skill players. You know, Pitt's had

320
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 5: another good year. Michael's had a great year. He's probably

321
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 5: one of their best players. And JT's missed some time,

322
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 5: but Jat's as good a back as there is in

323
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 5: the league. And they've gotten some good production out of

324
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 5: downs in Pierce in terms of their receivers on the

325
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 5: premier downs. That a really good year for a rookie.

326
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 5: He's among the top rookies in terms of reception. So

327
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: good football player in the offensive line. For the most part,

328
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 5: they've been able to kind of keep it together. Brayden

329
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 5: Smith's been out for a bunch and then freelan how

330
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: to play right tackle. But the rest of it has

331
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 5: been pretty stable and consistent. But they're pretty balanced. They

332
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 5: can hurt you, you know, running the ball and throwing

333
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: the ball over your head and explosive, then defensively and

334
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 5: really starts with the front. I mean they're front collectively

335
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: different than the Jets, but has some similarities where they

336
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 5: can kind of go in or nine deep and they

337
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 5: just roll them out in the field and really starts

338
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: with Grover and starts with Buck. I mean they present

339
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 5: collectively is big of a problem is any team in

340
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 5: the league. Abbie Cam's given them some good rush. Quit,

341
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 5: He's given them some good rush. They've gotten production from

342
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 5: day oh, So their front is really good.

343
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: Really.

344
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 5: The biggest not change or tweak that they've made probably

345
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 5: is a linebacker kind of moved on on from from Leonard,

346
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 5: but ej And and Franklin. Franklin's had as good a

347
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 5: year linebackers any of the league. Very tough, very instinctive player.

348
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 5: I think he leads the league in tackles. So if

349
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 5: we're gonna run a football, I mean starts with the

350
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 5: inside part of the defense, starts with Bucks, starts with

351
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 5: Grover and getting the hat on Zaiere and the secondary,

352
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 5: they've kind of had some moving parts at safety. They've

353
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: kind of had some guys in and out the corner

354
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 5: that are actually playing. A couple of rookies Brents and

355
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 5: Jalen Jones who have played really well, and then Kenny

356
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 5: Moore has been pretty steady in there at Nickels. So

357
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 5: and they're good in the kicking game. They have some

358
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: impact guys. Even though Speed has a good role on defense,

359
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 5: he's still a problem in a kicking game. Stewart's giving

360
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 5: him some good plays. I mean, Matt Gay is one

361
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: of the best kickers in the league. So just top

362
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: to bottom, they have a lot of, you know, really

363
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 5: good players with good depth, I mean, which is why

364
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 5: they're in the position that they're in. So you know,

365
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 5: they they've changed, but they really haven't changed. It's really

366
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 5: more they've lost a few sort of key pieces, but

367
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 5: not the value maybe that some other teams have lost.

368
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: How is their offense different or i'milar to the one

369
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: that they were running in Philadelphia with Shane Stiking, There's.

370
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: Some similarities in terms of how they build it.

371
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 5: Shane's a good coach, Shane's played in a lot of

372
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: different offenses, and kind of his track record background, he

373
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 5: kind of grew up a certain way and then kind

374
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: of modified and evolved his system in Philadelphia to be

375
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: reflective of their players. But I think they've done a

376
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: good job of fitting their offense to the personnel that

377
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 5: they have and finding a way to move the football.

378
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: But they have done a good job on a week

379
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 5: to week basis, and Shane's a good coach. Chane's a

380
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 5: smart coach. They had success in Philly and they've had

381
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 5: success offensively here Indy as well.

382
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: Along those lines, Gardner Minshew, we've seen different iterations and

383
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: we saw him with Jacksonville when he's a rookie and

384
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: he was kind of just a I don't know, he's

385
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: kind of playing by the seat of his pants, so

386
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: to speak. It felt like the guy that we saw

387
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: in week two kind of quick release, got the ball

388
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: out of his hands. Is it still kind of that

389
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: way with him Nick thus far? Is he kind of

390
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: matured in that way?

391
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's played the way they want to

392
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 5: play offensively. He's done a great job and he was

393
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: with Shane in Philadelphia as well. So there's Carrie over

394
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 5: so I think that's kind of helped sort of ease

395
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 5: the transition from a you know, from Anthony to Gardner.

396
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: But Gardner is a very instinctive player.

397
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: He's always been accurate with the football and he's taken

398
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 5: care of the ball whenever he's played. His interception total,

399
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 5: he is not massive, so he does a good job

400
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 5: of making smart decisions. He's kind of slippery maneuvering around

401
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 5: in the pocket. He's not necessarily a running quarterback, but

402
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 5: he kind of has a way to navigate the pocket

403
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 5: there a little bit as well.

404
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: So he's done a good job for them.

405
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 5: He's certainly made a difference, kind of been a stabilizing

406
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: force for now offensively, and really he's played the whole

407
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 5: year because they lost Rich you know their week two.

408
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: Nick, we visited last week before you acquired Kareem Jackson.

409
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: So let's talk about him a little bit. And when

410
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: you sign a player like that, how much of oh,

411
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: he was here before and he played with the Mico

412
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: or whatever the case may be, how much does that

413
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: have to do with signing him or is it just

414
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 3: more about, hey, he could just help us right down

415
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 3: on the field.

416
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I know, Jack's very well respected within

417
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 5: the organization. He started his career here as the first

418
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 5: round draft pick here. There's a lot that's happened between

419
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 5: that time and where we are now. So I think

420
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: we're we are as a team is just trying to

421
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 5: look at and we had it coincidentally where to work

422
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 5: where Jimmy, you know, was injured and we knew he

423
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 5: was gonna be out there for a little bit. So

424
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 5: it's just trying to solidify some of our depth there

425
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: at the safety position. You know, we've gotten good play

426
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 5: from Petrie, DHC has come in and they really done

427
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 5: a great job for us. And Amos has come in,

428
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 5: you know, similar to Kajak, you know, a little bit

429
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: later in the year, but you know, a lot of

430
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 5: all those players that have experience. You know, Kareem's been

431
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 5: a very productive player here in the league for a

432
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 5: number of years.

433
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: So he's an instinctive player. He's tough.

434
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: He played, you know, however, many snaps the other day

435
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: against Tennessee. So anytime you can add a player like

436
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: that to your team, just kind of look at where

437
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 5: you are at present time. Going back to kind of

438
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 5: what we talked about earlier, you know, we'll figure it

439
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: out and if there's a player that we think can

440
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 5: come in here and help us in some capacity, then

441
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 5: you know we're going to consider it to have dialogue

442
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 5: about it.

443
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: So good to have him here.

444
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 5: He's very well respected, good teammate, so you know, see

445
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: how it goes this week.

446
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: A similar thought with Tier Tart. He gets in plays

447
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: against his former team. Seemed like in a few times

448
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: I looked up and saw replays when I wasn't watching,

449
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: for like, he was holding up well against the run,

450
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: and he's got some size.

451
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 6: He's your thoughts on two.

452
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, he provided some plays there the other day,

453
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 5: and he's a little bit different than Rank and Malik

454
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 5: in there, who are very athletic, they're quick, you know,

455
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 5: they have good playing strength for their size. Tiers got

456
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 5: a little bit more I would say, size, girth, and length.

457
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 5: So there's a place for that player on the inside

458
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 5: part of your run defense. So he went in there

459
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: and you know, made a few plays, big things, just

460
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 5: kind of learning our techniques how we play run defense.

461
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 5: But he was able to kind of create a little

462
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 5: bit of knock back at the point of attack. So

463
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I would say our ability to stop the

464
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 5: run is going to go a long way and determine,

465
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 5: you know, how much success we have Saturday night against

466
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 5: the Colts.

467
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 3: All right, Nick, So on the road, I know you're

468
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: working all the time, but there has to be a

469
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: little bit of downtime here. So during the downtime, do

470
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: we read a book? Do we watch Netflix? What is

471
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: going on downtime on the road for you?

472
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 7: No?

473
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 4: Netflix?

474
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 5: Other other than I did watch the PGA the Profile

475
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 5: of the PGA Tour, which.

476
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 4: I found kind of fascinating. That documentary. Very select, yeah, series,

477
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 4: but really good.

478
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: No, the road trips are really I would say normally

479
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 5: it's their opponent prep that's involved. So trying to stay

480
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 5: ahead in the next opponent. And you know, this week

481
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: will be a little bit different because we're not if

482
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 5: we win, you know, we're not really sure who we're playing,

483
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 5: so that might take a back seat. So TRENDI some

484
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 5: college scouting, but actually do try to read on a

485
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 5: way from the stadium to the airport and maybe you know,

486
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 5: on a plane or once we get to the hotel.

487
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: I enjoy reading.

488
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 5: I love reading, you know, try to as best I can,

489
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 5: try to get through a book or two, you know,

490
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 5: every two or three weeks.

491
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: So any recommendations for the audience here or for us.

492
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 5: Actually, I actually just read a book Morgan Housel, who

493
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 5: wrote The Psychology of Money. He wrote a book it's

494
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 5: called Same as Ever. It's really more behavioral science and

495
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 5: just it's it's a fascinating read. He's got a great

496
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 5: say writing style so finished that.

497
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 8: You know.

498
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 5: A few weeks ago, actually had somebody send me a

499
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 5: book for my birthday about leadership.

500
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 4: That kind of I'm going through right now, so try

501
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: to work it in.

502
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 5: But that's kind of I know, it's very exciting for

503
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 5: the audience about what I do in a road reading

504
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 5: books and prepare for the next opponent.

505
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: But that's part of my process.

506
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 3: I would imagine Netflix has got the Big Short on it.

507
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: You got it.

508
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 4: I mean I've read the Big Short. I haven't read it.

509
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: I haven't. I haven't seen the actual.

510
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 3: I think it's available on the plane. Nick watched it

511
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: the last couple of times.

512
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: I'm familiar with it.

513
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I've seen it about ten times. It's so awesome.

514
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: Speaking of scouting, on Monday, you've got these two playoff games,

515
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 2: and I know there's preparation for UH Indianapolis, and that

516
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 2: obviously takes Presidence. But they've talked about there's there's so

517
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: much going on all the time, you got to be

518
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: ready for anything at any point. How much will you

519
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: be concluding to what's going on with those two games, Nick, Yeah,

520
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm we'll.

521
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 4: Probably have it on just in the background.

522
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 5: But you know, I would say when you look at

523
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 5: these four teams, there's a lot of players that are

524
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 5: going to be in the draft here in the spring.

525
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 5: You know, our staff's done a great job. We've been

526
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: in the school probably two or three times. Saw Texas

527
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 5: play a little bit earlier in the year against against

528
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 5: Kansas State. You know, I've done some work on this again,

529
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: see Alabama, see Washington. Is a part of this the

530
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 5: fall scouting process. So very familiar with these teams. These

531
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 5: are four really good football teams.

532
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: So I mean it'll be more on in a back

533
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: room on than anything else.

534
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 5: And then you know, two of them will walk into

535
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 5: building here a week from Monday and you know we'll

536
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: sure we'll crown well we'll actually crown a champion.

537
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: But to your point, John, it's part of the process.

538
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 5: And just as you're trying to stay ahead, so as

539
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 5: soon as the season is over, you just kind of transition.

540
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: It's not well, I got to go back and watch

541
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 5: Washington and do work in Alabama and Texas. You're trying

542
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 5: to stay up on as much as possible in our staff.

543
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 5: You know, Scott College scouting staff's done a great job,

544
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 5: and you know'll have an opportunity to see some of

545
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 5: these people, whether it's the All Star Game or at

546
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 5: the Scout and Combine here in February.

547
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: Well more a couple of people through this one at

548
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: me having the National Championship game here and a work

549
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: week for the Texans and we hope it's a really

550
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: busy work week. How difficult is that? How hard is

551
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 3: it to keep it as seamless as possible so you

552
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 3: can do the work you need to do while they're

553
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 3: hosting a big game here.

554
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, Unfortunately, there's not too much displacement, I mean the

555
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 5: parking afferent spot, but we operate out of this building,

556
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 5: so you know, there's certainly cognizant of the work and

557
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 5: the job that we have to do, so you'll try

558
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 5: to stay kind of business as usual here. We have

559
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 5: limitations in terms of I think they credentialed like four

560
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 5: people in the organization for the National championship game.

561
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 4: So it's out of our hands.

562
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: So it's not like we just kind of wander out

563
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 5: there like the Texas you know Bowl here.

564
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, we'll see.

565
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 3: How it goes next well, the high school playoffs, Yeah, high

566
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: school playoffs, it's the whole game.

567
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 4: Last week, we just can't wander out there, so probably

568
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: get arrested.

569
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: They're not gonna like that. Final four was pretty tough too.

570
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, saying when they control it kind of it's out

571
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 5: of our hands. So we just gonna show up and

572
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 5: do work and you know, try to prepare for the

573
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 5: next suppoller if there is one.

574
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: Well, our goal is to meet here next week, Nick,

575
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: and we're looking forward to it. Thanks a lot for

576
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: the time.

577
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 4: Appreciate you, guys man.

578
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: One of the reasons I don't want this thing to

579
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: be over is I love our visits with Nick. We

580
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: always have a great time talking with Nick. So hopefully

581
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: that we plenty more to come. On the other side,

582
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: Mark and I are going to discuss these playoffs possibilities

583
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: and something.

584
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: We learned about c J.

585
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: Stre via Jarrod Shotson that really doesn't include CJ, but

586
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: it's got interesting stuff.

587
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: So we'll hit that next on Texans All Access.

588
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: Welcome back to this Wednesday edition of Texans All Access.

589
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: I mean your host John Harris, football analyst, a sideline reporter,

590
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: and I have to remind myself what day it is,

591
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: because practice wise, it's a Thursday, but radio wise, it's Wednesday.

592
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 3: It has been.

593
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: It's Mark vandermir the Voice of Texas, joins me, and

594
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: it's confusing.

595
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 3: Well, the who's the first thing we do? Seawan and

596
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: Seth attempted it, but they're just not as good as

597
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: we are when you say that. For instance, today is

598
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: game week Thursday because Saturday is Sunday and we're gonna

599
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 3: fly out on Friday, which would usually be Saturday. That

600
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: means Thursday is actually a Friday in game week mode.

601
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: But today you're going back to a Thursday, even though

602
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 3: it's Wednesday on the radio. That's exactly right.

603
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: So the way I looked at it is radio and

604
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: work stayed the same, but the football week got moved

605
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: up a day.

606
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: Well, the other thing is this we look going out

607
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: on Friday to Indy, which is awesome by the way,

608
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: but it eliminates your Friday from a work standpoint, because

609
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: I do a lot of other stuff around here. I

610
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: know you do nexed off obviously, so it's just wait

611
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: a minute, there is no Friday on the calendar. But

612
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: it's awesome and it really feels like playoff week. I

613
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 3: think I got into this. I don't know if I have,

614
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: but it really does feel like a playoff week, not

615
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 3: only because it's winning in but because you're playing on

616
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 3: Saturday and we're in the traditional January point I January

617
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: part of the year where you would have a playoff

618
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: game historically, So here we are.

619
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: So we've had an interview with Drod Johnson. You hear

620
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: that on Friday night. Oh my gosh, we had a blast.

621
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, can't wait to air that one.

622
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: It's so good. And there's great stuff about John Lopez,

623
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 3: the chupacabra, the yogi as he played AAU basketball for him.

624
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: So one of the interesting aspects. And I've thought about

625
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: this for a while. I mean, we both had we've

626
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: both intersected with throughout at different points in our careers.

627
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: You talked about you and Lopez. Did you show together

628
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: drive coming in tuckson ball?

629
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 4: Yeh.

630
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: I actually did a Sam Houston game one time and

631
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: uh Drodd did the sidelines.

632
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 6: He was just looking for anything. And I was like,

633
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 6: why is Drowd down there?

634
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna be like and I talked to him

635
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 3: after work slight on your broadcast.

636
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: On the broadcast, yeah, and I was just like, oh

637
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: my gosh, she's if he wants to get in a

638
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: TV he's gonna come take this job. And in a

639
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: quick second, well that was I think twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen,

640
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: maybe twenty seventeen, somewhere in there. He's still trying to

641
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: figure it all out. Next thing I know, he's with

642
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 2: Didnanapolis Colts the where we go. But one of the

643
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: things I wanted to talk to him about was something

644
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: that you and I had had noticed.

645
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: I had alerted to you to It was.

646
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 6: The Lead eleven connection with Jerrod and c J. Stroud.

647
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: So we talked to him about that and what that

648
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: was like, and we talked off the air a little

649
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 2: bit and he's like, go to the opening and go

650
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: check out.

651
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 6: Because I asked him like, who was all on your team?

652
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: He said, well, you know sting was on our team,

653
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: Derek Stingley was on his team, Michael Mayer, who was

654
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: the second tight end take and I think I think

655
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: it was the second one. He's a Heema laport. I

656
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: can't remember how it went. Michael Marry got drafted by

657
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: the Raiders. He was on their team. Because what happens

658
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: to lead eleven is you have you bring in the

659
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: seven on seven studs. So the elite eleven quarterbacks do

660
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: kind of their individual stuff, and then when they do

661
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: their seven on seven stuff, they bring in all the

662
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: dbs and they bring in all the receivers and all

663
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: the position of the perimeter players and they do seven

664
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: on seven.

665
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: But they don't really do full eleven on eleven.

666
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 6: No, no, no, they don't.

667
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: But they have lineman challenges and things like that. Because

668
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: he talked about Walker.

669
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: Little right right right, they do the linemen kind of

670
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 2: do their separate thing, but they don't.

671
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 6: They never do eleven on eleven.

672
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: And so CJ was one of his four quarterbacks because

673
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: each team gets I think got four quarterbacks and then

674
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: he kind of do it around Robin and then that

675
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: goes well. Gerrod's team won it like three or four

676
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: years in a row, and he won it that year

677
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: with CJ.

678
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 6: Twenty nineteen.

679
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 3: Going came from out of nowhere, See came from out

680
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 3: of nowhere.

681
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: So I was like, Okay, there's so many intersecting pieces

682
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: of this. So the Elite eleven, CJ ends up being

683
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: the MVP. So he was one of the last guys added.

684
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: He was number He was number nine team, basically the

685
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: last guy added. Listen to some of the names that

686
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: were there at the Elite eleven. Now amongst the Elite eleven,

687
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 2: Bryce Young obviously you heard that name.

688
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 3: And he was on CJ's team.

689
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: He was on CJ's team. Haines King who went to

690
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: Texas A and M he was also there. I think

691
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: the guy who could be number one next year is

692
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 2: Carson Beck. He was at a Mandarin High School in Jackson.

693
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: He was there at the Elite eleven as well. A

694
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: guy that didn't get voted into the Elite eleven but

695
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: was there at the event.

696
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 6: Have you heard of Anthony Richardson. He was there, He

697
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 6: was there watching.

698
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: He was no What they do is they bring in

699
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: like nineteen twenty quarterbacks and only eleven are named as

700
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 2: the Elite eleven.

701
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: So he didn't get named, so he didn't get named,

702
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: but he was drafted very high. So he was drafted

703
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: very high.

704
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: So you've heard of Anthony Richardson, Tyler van Dyke who's

705
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: at the U now transferring to University Wisconsin. He was

706
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: also there. Counselor Dereck King pretty him, yes, yeah, man

707
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks coach where SMA Yeah okay. Also someone named Jalen Hurts. Wow,

708
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: he's a counselor. County's a counselor. Counselor alongside Sam Ellinger.

709
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: Sam Ellinger, Jalen Hurts, Dereck King. Where three of the

710
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: counselors for CJ and the group there. I mean, it's

711
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: really wild to think about nineteen quarterbacks were there for

712
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: the summer of nineteen. So the graduating class of twenty

713
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: twenty which my daughter is in, and c J. Stroud,

714
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, eventually Carson Beck, potentially Haines King.

715
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good group with counselors Sam Ellinger, Jalen Hurts,

716
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: Dereck King.

717
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: I recommend watching the video that you recommended to me. Yeah,

718
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 3: Lead eleven. If you google Jerrod Johnson A Lead eleven,

719
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: c J. Stroud, I bet it pops up and it's

720
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: really a great view because CJ does come out of

721
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 3: nowhere and he rises up through the depth chart, passes

722
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 3: Bryce Young, so he beat out Bryce Young in this

723
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: particular competition. Yep, and they end up winning the whole

724
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: thing in the seven on seven and he's the MVP. Now, look,

725
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: it's the lead eleven. It could have gone any direction

726
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 3: from here. What does it all mean whatever, But what

727
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: it means is it showed you a little glimpse of

728
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: what CJ. Stroud is capable of. And when we get

729
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: to the Girard interview, which will be Friday night, you're

730
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: gonna hear some great stuff about him. The fact that

731
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: he's able to process so quickly learn. He has a

732
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: drive to be excellent. He demands that of himself to

733
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: be great. He's one of those very special players. And

734
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: the more we hear, the more we see, the more

735
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 3: we like what Pastorini said about him last week. He

736
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: was talking about, look he stays healthy, he's going to

737
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame. Yeah, he's a rookie, he's twenty

738
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: two years old. To put that on him, but Dante

739
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: does not dish it out that easily. And to hear

740
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: what Gerard said, this is really great stuff. You were

741
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: watching it in real time. Enjoy every second of it.

742
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: And the next step Saturday night at Indy can't wait,

743
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: how are you feeling? By the way, all right, so

744
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: today I'm listen. I need a wellness check every couple

745
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: of hours from you, Johnny, to make sure that you know.

746
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 3: That's why I'm checking it on my feet on the

747
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: ground here. Texans versus Colts for the playoffs never happened

748
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: before you played them in a playoff game, which was

749
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: bigger actually in twenty eighteen because you played them in

750
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: your building. But this is the next big thing. And

751
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm not saying this is less than so I just

752
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: want to get off that point altogether. This is colossal

753
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: and I give them all the credit in the world

754
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: as I start my indie prep here or started it yesterday,

755
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: and I know the Colts pretty well already. But for

756
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: this particular game, they've had a heck of a season.

757
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they've really put together a nice campaign. They've

758
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: got some good wins. I think they and the Browns

759
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: and the Texans real surprises in this league, just steadily

760
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 3: throughout what they've been able to do. The Browns because

761
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 3: of the injuries and the weird quarterback situation. But I

762
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: think that if you had to pick, you'd expect that

763
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: out of them because of their roster, their depth that

764
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: they would put together a pretty solid campaign, maybe not

765
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: as many wins as they have. What do they have?

766
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 3: Eleven right now? They've hung up a number and they're

767
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: going to leave it there because they're starting Jeff Driscoll

768
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: this weekend.

769
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

770
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 3: But as I look at what the Texans and Cults

771
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: were able to do, here's the other thing. The Texans

772
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: are more impressive because, and we hit on this a

773
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 3: little bit last night, the Colts have a lot of

774
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: the pieces that they've had when they were good, and

775
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: they were good in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one.

776
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: They were decent and obviously melt down last year, but

777
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: they had a lot of pieces. It wasn't like the

778
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 3: Texans with the talent when they went two and fourteen

779
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: after twelve and four, but it was a breakdown following

780
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: nine and eight where they just couldn't get out of

781
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: their own way with Matt Ryan and a lot of

782
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: guys got hurt. And the rest of the story is

783
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: a lot of those guys are back and they've got

784
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: solid I'm just gonna put it that way, solid enough

785
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: quarterbacking and a good head coach and staff that has

786
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: them where they are today, which is nine and seven

787
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: and playing the Texans for a playoff birs. So I

788
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: give them credit for that, but I hate them like poison.

789
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: Let's go beat the Horseshoe, go to the postseason.

790
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: Now, there is a way that you may not beat

791
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: the Horseshoe and still go to the postseason.

792
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: There's a way. There's a way, there's a way.

793
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 6: It's a tie, and it's a tie.

794
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: And that's That's the one thing I didn't consider the

795
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: other day because I said there's three there's three scenarios.

796
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 6: Win the game.

797
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: You play at Buffalo, you play at Kansas City, or you.

798
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: Play You said there was a there was a slight,

799
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: So there's a light atched possibility to play at Miami.

800
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: Now, the most outrageous thing that would happen is the

801
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: Texans and Texans and Colts would tie again.

802
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's odd. That would be two out of four matchups.

803
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: That would be two years, resulting in times that.

804
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 6: Would be strange.

805
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: I would stay away from any lightning strikes at that point, Okay,

806
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: but there is a possibility of both the Colts and

807
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: Texans getting in with that tie. And it's really as

808
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: simple as Ravens beat Steelers, Titans beat Jacks.

809
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 3: Ravens beat Steelers, Titans beat Jags, Texans tie Colts. Texans

810
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 3: and Colts both they they both would go in.

811
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: Now, the Colts would go in as the division winner

812
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: because they would have a win and a tie at

813
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: nine Jacks and then the Jags would be ninety eight

814
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 2: that point.

815
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: So, yes, Texans are nine to seven and one, So

816
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: they knock out the Jags obviously and get in ahead

817
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: of the Steelers.

818
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: Get it ahead of the Steelers because the Steelers would

819
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: have lost to the Ravens to be nine to eight. Okay,

820
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,959
Speaker 2: so the tie at nine to seven and one, there's

821
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: a possibility of going to Miami if Miami ends up

822
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: beating Buffalo. If Buffalo beats Miami, then the Texans would

823
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 2: end up going to Buffalo's Buffalo Buffalo gonna be the

824
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: two seeds six seed in that in that scenario, So,

825
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: as outrageous as it sounds, could the Ravens beat the Steelers?

826
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: Sure beat them earlier this year? What about the Jag

827
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: the Titans being the Jag? I mean, I guess well,

828
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: by the.

829
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: Way, let me pause you right there, Ravens are not

830
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 3: going to play their guys a lot of starters will

831
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: rest right, but I won't put it past the Ravens

832
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: to put out an all out effort, especially at home.

833
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: It's the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they hate each other. And

834
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: I know the Steelers want this bad, but there's still

835
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 3: a fire within the Ravens that will not want to

836
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 3: see the Steelers celebrate a winning season, a ten win season.

837
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 3: They have a winning season locked up, a ten win

838
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 3: season on their field. They don't like that at all.

839
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: Huntley is going to play. I guess that's going to

840
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 3: be interesting.

841
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: I misspoke. The Steelers beat them in Pittsburgh. You think

842
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: the Ravens want to sweep from the Steelers.

843
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there we go.

844
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.

845
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. So yeah.

846
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: The fact that it gives it as much of it,

847
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 2: not as Lamar, but it gives as much a chance

848
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: as a lot of quarterbacks throughout the league would.

849
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 3: I'll take Tyler Huntley in a win win situation that

850
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: is a favorable backup situation. Absolutely. It's not flaccoh but

851
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 3: we didn't know about.

852
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well let's put its way Tyler Hunley

853
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 2: or Mason Rudolph.

854
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 6: I mean, I know Mason's played pretty well. Would.

855
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: I was having a conversation I think with Jonathan Alexander

856
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: of the Chronicle. We were talking about Pittsburgh's best chance

857
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: and Kenny Pickett, and I thought, I just said it

858
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: like this because I always like to present things in

859
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: your personal opinion. You meaning, whoever I'm talking to, What

860
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: would you do? If you're Mike Tomlin, who are you

861
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 3: going to start? And I would start Mason.

862
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 6: Hot, He's hot. I'd go with him.

863
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 2: Now, a tie isn't a perfect thing, no, yes, no kidding.

864
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: If the Jaguars beat the Titans, oh, then you're cooked.

865
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,479
Speaker 2: Then you're cooked, because the Colts would end up getting

866
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 2: that final you the Colts would end up getting that

867
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 2: final spot in the playoffs with a tie.

868
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 3: With a tie, all right, But that's as long as

869
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 3: the Steelers lose. As long as Steelers all right, So

870
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: we'll know the fate of the Steelers. Correct, not the fate,

871
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: but we'll know the results of that game. When the

872
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: Texans take the field against the Colts. The question is

873
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: this late in the game, you get into overtime, sing

874
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 3: and it's getting late in ot and yeah, I have

875
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 3: decisions to make lovey like fourth and six from your

876
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 3: forty four on opening day last year. Love he punted, right, yep,

877
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: Lovey punted. Now are you gonna go for it? You

878
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 3: getta punt? Thinking, well, the Steeler's lost. I got a

879
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: chance if the Titans beat the Jaguars tomorrow, this is

880
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 3: Saturday Night. If I tie the Colts, I'm in with

881
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 3: a Jaguar loss. Am I taking that chance? Or am

882
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 3: I playing to win? I bet Demko will play too,

883
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: no matter what not leave the fate up to the

884
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: Titans beating the Jags. But believe me, if the Texans

885
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 3: win Saturday Night, go Titans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, we

886
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 3: love you. Everything we said about you in the uniforms,

887
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: we didn't mean it.

888
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: We love you.

889
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Yeah, I don't care what happens. Win, loser, draw, wind,

890
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: loser tight against the Colts. I mean I do care,

891
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: But as it pertains to the Titans Jaguars, I want

892
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: the Titans to beat him by thirty. I am so

893
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 2: tired or listening to the Jaguars feel like they moved

894
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 2: up into the penthouse and now I've got their feet

895
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 2: up on the furniture, acting like back in week eight.

896
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we're kind of concerned. About that.

897
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 6: Are we concerned about the seeding?

898
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: You know, we want to be the two seed so

899
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: we can avoid Kansas City, who we'd like to be

900
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 2: the four seed.

901
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 6: You know, No, you may not even get in. That's

902
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 6: the you may not.

903
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: That's why I want to see them get spanked by

904
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 2: the Titans.

905
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 3: It's it's like Christmas decorations going up earlier than ever,

906
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 3: right after Halloween, and it never used to happen. Yeah,

907
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: the playoff hunt. Picture the graphic on the Sunday night

908
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 3: shows and games that goes up midway through October or something.

909
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: It's like it's putting the Christmas decorations up early. Wait

910
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: a minute, we haven't even hit the midway point. And

911
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 3: you've got if the season ended today and in the

912
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 3: hunt and all that stuff. It's a little early, a

913
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: little premature, and you fall into that trap. Even today.

914
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: You and I talked about this last night. The Texans

915
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: are still in the end the Hunt category. So are

916
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: the Colts. Though the Colts got to win or tie,

917
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: as it turns out, but they got to do something.

918
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: And if the season ended today, they haven't played each

919
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 3: other yet.

920
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: The season ended with a game against the Colts, So

921
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 2: so you guys can kind of as you're watching, kind

922
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: of figure this out. Yeah, if you see the Ravens

923
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: win Saturday, then just know that a tie doesn't completely

924
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 2: eliminate the Texans. A tie doesn't completely eliminate the Texans.

925
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 2: You need that that point some help from the Titans.

926
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: When you're in when and the Jags are in, you're

927
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: in a wild card win. In the Jaguars lose, you

928
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: win a division tie. All this considering the Ravens beat

929
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: the Steelers tie, and the Jags lose, you're in as

930
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 2: a wildcard tie. Titans lose to the jag Zags, you'll

931
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 2: lose out to the Napolis Colts.

932
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 3: But if you beat the Colts, beat the Jags lose

933
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 3: the courses of the winner of the division and the

934
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 3: only AFC South team to go to the postseason.

935
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 6: That's correct.

936
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 3: I like this.

937
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: How about that after last year?

938
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 3: How about it last you go worse to first, So

939
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 3: that happens again in the league. You go worse to

940
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: first and you get to say bye bye and your division.

941
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes I support the division in this way, like, hey,

942
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 3: we got two or three teams in the postseason. That's

943
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 3: pretty awesome stuff for the division. It's because I do

944
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 3: support the AFC South. I want to show people that

945
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 3: it's better than people think. Yet I do want to

946
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 3: stuff Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Indy into a figurative garbage compactor

947
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 3: and say goodbye to them.

948
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

949
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: So the machinations still of what can happen for this team,

950
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: for the Texans, for the Colts, for the Steelers, for

951
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: the Jaguars are all over the map.

952
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 3: It's still you were giving all these to me earlier

953
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: today and my head was here, it was head. I

954
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 3: mean it's week eighteen. We still have all these possibilities.

955
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: Yes we do.

956
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 6: I mean there's a possibility of the Bills not making

957
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 6: it very.

958
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 3: Much because if they lose, they're not in period right,

959
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 3: They're they're not.

960
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 2: They're in if we right, if either the Colts, well,

961
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter as long as our game doesn't end

962
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: in a tie and the Steelers win.

963
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 3: Oh, Buffalo's out with a loss, and Buffalo's out with

964
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 3: a loss.

965
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 6: How about that?

966
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 2: How about that Sunday night you're going on, I'll I'll

967
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: see where we're gonna go in the playoffs. All of

968
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: a sudden, you see the Steelers win, you see us, Well,

969
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter it just our game doesn't end in

970
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: a tie.

971
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 6: Now you're going, wait a second.

972
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 3: We're out.

973
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 6: We're out with a loss.

974
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the hottest team in the league or whatever the

975
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 3: heck they are, that could be wild. They are hot.

976
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to play them. He wants to play Buffalo,

977
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: nobody wants to play anybody. Look, I want to play

978
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 3: Trinity in the playoffs if we get there. Okay, So I'd.

979
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: Love the playoff machine to just click Okay, what if

980
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: this team was especially with only one week, because when

981
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: you had like three weeks, I'm.

982
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 6: Going from one tap to the next. This is just okay.

983
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 2: Well if I click here and this happens and this

984
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: goes on, okay, what's it seems really easy at this point,

985
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: and there'll be all kinds of playoff articles about that.

986
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: Just no win Saturday night in Indianapolis and you could

987
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 2: relax on Sunday.

988
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 3: What was it last week? Twenty four teams.

989
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 2: Tie or lose on a tire, Well lose, You're not

990
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 2: gonna care at that point. You might be three sheets

991
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: to win because you'll be drowning your sorrows. I don't

992
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: drink and that bite beat me if that happens if

993
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: we lose to the Colts.

994
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't.

995
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 3: I mean, just all right now, listen, I need another

996
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 3: wellness check.

997
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen stings. I still think about twenty eighteen all

998
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 2: the time.

999
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's it.

1000
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 6: Mark, great job, Thank you, thank you, Johnny.

1001
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: Okay, we get back. We got to go through the

1002
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: injury report and go around the league. We'll do that

1003
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: to clean it all up. On a Wednesday edition of

1004
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: Texans All Access. Glad you're with Mesty right where you are?

1005
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: What's happened? Everybody? Walking back to Wednesday edition of Texans

1006
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 2: All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm yourst John

1007
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 2: Harris Football on us saithou reporter for your Houston Texans.

1008
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,479
Speaker 2: So glad to be with you as we head into

1009
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 2: the last regular season game of the year, or as

1010
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: we have been calling it around here, playoffs because it's

1011
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: essentially it essentially is a playoff game. You win and

1012
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: your season continues. You lose and the season is over.

1013
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 2: Now if you tie, well, then you gotta wait for Sunday.

1014
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: And that's not gonna be a fun wait to say

1015
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: the least.

1016
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 5: So no more.

1017
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 2: As we outlined in that previous segment with Mark about

1018
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: the Steelers Ravens, and that does have an impact if

1019
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: you tie, If you tie a loss and that's it lost,

1020
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 2: there's no way you can get in because you lose

1021
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: the tie breakers.

1022
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: Even if the Jaguars lose, you lose those.

1023
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 2: So it's win and you know you're in tie, and

1024
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna be in front of the television. A tie

1025
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: with a Steelers loss, and you'll be in front of

1026
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: the television. Want to see what's going on with the

1027
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars cheering like hell. I'll be cheering like hell

1028
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: for the Titans anyways, as I outlined in the last segment.

1029
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: So let's getting this injury report for Saturday's game. It's

1030
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 2: a long one for the Texans, and I'll give you

1031
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,479
Speaker 2: kind of what the injury report says and what's kind

1032
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: of floating.

1033
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: Out there about availability.

1034
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: And that's that's key because we're getting to this point

1035
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: of the year, and obviously this is what happens every

1036
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 2: single year, but I feel like it's happening more the

1037
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 2: seventeen game season. But that's just I don't know, that's

1038
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: just maybe the way that I read read into it.

1039
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: So let's discuss the Texans DNPS. Tell me how poort

1040
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: of these guys are. DNP is on Wednesday, Will Anderson Jr.

1041
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: Andrew Beck, Noah Brown, Elie Collins, John Grenard, Sheldon Rankins,

1042
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 2: Robert Woods. Oh boy, let's say that none of those

1043
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 2: guys played, Oh my god, that would be awful, completely awful.

1044
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 2: But that's not totally the case. There's a thought that

1045
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: you could see Robert Woods, Will Anderson, Andrew Beck, now

1046
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 2: Noah Brown, it sounds like is kind of on the

1047
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 2: more questionable side. I think the same with with John

1048
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: Grenard as well. So we'll keep it on on that.

1049
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is gonna be the big day. That's gonna be

1050
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: when the status report comes out, so we'll keep an

1051
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 2: eye on that. But the thought is that there are

1052
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: some guys expected to play. As Aaron Wilson has has

1053
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: tweeted out, he's probably the best source in city, saying

1054
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 2: Sheldon Rankins, Larry Tunszell, Will Anderson Junior, Robert Woods probably

1055
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 2: coming back.

1056
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: Now.

1057
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 2: Nothing on John Garnard that I have seen right now,

1058
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 2: so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

1059
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: But having one is better than none.

1060
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: So Will Anderson and John Garnard is the best case,

1061
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: Will Anderson or John Garnard. Okay, we'll accept neither Will

1062
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 2: Anderson nor John Garnard, which we had against the Browns.

1063
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: Not good. Laramie Tunszell was upgraded to limited participation.

1064
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 2: And that was it. Everybody else is full, including Nico Collins.

1065
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: He just drout et cetera, et cetera, Colts for two

1066
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 2: straight days. Center Ryan Kelly. Now, they had to walk

1067
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: through Coley the Texans did on Tuesday. They had to

1068
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 2: walk through Ryan Kelly didn't participate. Ryan Kelly did not

1069
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 2: participate again. He's key, he says some injury issues. He's

1070
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 2: key to the mid outline. My guess is he will

1071
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: play Saturday night, as will quin Nelson. He was a

1072
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 2: DMP on Tuesday. He's dealing with an ankle issue and

1073
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: that's been kind of an issue for him in the

1074
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: last couple of years. He was limited on Wednesday. Everybody

1075
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 2: else in, including Kenny Moore who sat out last weeks

1076
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: with the injury. So it looks like Kenny Moore is

1077
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 2: going to be back in the lineup for this and

1078
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 2: I would expect him to. Kenny Moore is one of

1079
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: the I've said this before. Mike Hilton Kenny Moore, two

1080
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 2: the best football players in the league in my estimation,

1081
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: play in that slot position. And Kenny could play all

1082
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 2: over the place, and that's what's hard. He'll jump out

1083
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: the corner and play corner at times, and then he'll

1084
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 2: slide inside and play the nickel. He blitz There are

1085
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: a lot of things that he will do and it

1086
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 2: worries me because he's such a smart football player. There

1087
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 2: have been so many times in the last five years

1088
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: that I can remember Kenny Moore just blitzing unaccounted for.

1089
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: You don't know he's comment, you don't account for him.

1090
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 2: He sacks quarterback, that happen. So Zach Moss is a

1091
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: full participant as well. That's big. So is Brayden Smith.

1092
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 2: So starting right tackle, starting nickel, Kenney Moore and the

1093
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: one B to John Taylor's one A, Zach Moss being back.

1094
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 2: They're gonna want to run the rock, there's no question

1095
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: about that, especially behind that offensive line with those two backs.

1096
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: They'll test the Texas run defense, There's no question about it.

1097
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: So that is your injury report. Other news around the league,

1098
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: probably the biggest one Ravens, and if you're taken account

1099
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 2: of our last segment, we talked about Steelings. Steelers Ravens does

1100
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 2: have an impact if you tie with the Colts, which

1101
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 2: I don't even want to entertain that thought, but you

1102
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: kind of have to at this point. Tyler Huntley will

1103
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: start at quarterback for the Ravens, which means there probably

1104
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: some other Ravens that are taking a day off, So

1105
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 2: Steelers are gonna have a good opportunity against not the

1106
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: JV squad for the Ravens, but pretty close to it.

1107
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 2: So that's probably the biggest piece O news. Mason Rudolf

1108
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 2: will start again for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It sounds like

1109
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: and that's a smart move. Now get back, let's talk

1110
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 2: about these Colts in a little bit more depth. Let's

1111
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 2: go Ben behind the Mike's Mark Vandamiir Matt Taylor. That's

1112
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 2: next on Texans All Access. We've got one hour now,

1113
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 2: one hour left to go right here on Wednesday edition

1114
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 2: of Texans All Access from Monday a Texans Radio Studio.

1115
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris foot Plant, US sideline reporter,

1116
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 2: and it's tip of one of my favorite segments, one

1117
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: that I actually came up with many many years ago.

1118
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: And we've talked to our next guest.

1119
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: Numerous times I have individually in Indianapolis. He has also

1120
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: joined Mark and me here in Houston and at the Combine.

1121
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: But when it's men behind the Mike's time, I step

1122
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: by the way and I let the two voices that

1123
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: are gonna call the game for radio for the respective

1124
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 2: sides take the microphone.

1125
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: And that would be Mark Vandermiruo for US.

1126
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor. I n d Y, Yeah, let's go. Man

1127
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 2: behind the Mike's Matt Taylor and Mark Vandermire Right now.

1128
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 3: Here with us on Texans Radio is voice of the

1129
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts. Matt Taylor. Matt, how's it going today?

1130
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 7: I'm doing Fantasy Mark. Always good to be with you.

1131
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 4: What's going on?

1132
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 7: Happy New Year?

1133
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 3: Happy New Year? And a huge matchup Saturday night. Let's

1134
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 3: get to this now. Your preseason expectations of the Colts

1135
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 3: versus where you are at this moment. Do they match

1136
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 3: up or not?

1137
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 7: I hate to give you a cop out answer, but

1138
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 7: I really didn't have any expectations because I didn't know

1139
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 7: what to expect with this team with at the time

1140
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 7: a rookie quarterback right the fourth overall pick and Anthony Richardson,

1141
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 7: who had played only thirteen games in college, a rookie

1142
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 7: head coach, and Shane Steiken basically a brand new offensive system,

1143
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 7: a brand new offensive coaching staff outside of Reggie Wayne,

1144
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 7: who was the only holdover. I knew it was going

1145
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 7: to be interesting. That was the only thing that I

1146
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 7: was assured of from the Colts here in twenty twenty three.

1147
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 7: So it's been up, it's been down. There's been a

1148
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 7: lot of highs and some lows, some disappointing outcomes, and

1149
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 7: maybe some upset win that maybe the fan base didn't

1150
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 7: see coming along the way. But the fact that here

1151
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 7: they are, you know, four twelve and one in twenty

1152
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 7: twenty two to now nine and seven and twenty twenty

1153
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 7: three with a chance to punch their ticket to the postseason,

1154
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 7: just like the Texans. I mean, this has been a crazy,

1155
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 7: crazy year and I think a surprising year. I didn't

1156
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 7: think they'd make the playoffs this year, so I guess

1157
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 7: they are exceeding expectations. But it's been a very very

1158
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 7: fun season under Shane Stike, and the Cults are assured

1159
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 7: a winning season and his rookie campaign. Just like Denico

1160
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 7: Ryans there with the Houston Texans. So this is going

1161
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 7: to be really really fun I think for years to

1162
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 7: come with two outstanding quarterbacks in the division, two really

1163
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 7: rising stars at the head coaching spots between the Colts

1164
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 7: and the Texans. It just enhances this rivalry, I think

1165
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 7: even further between these two franchises.

1166
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't really get to see what Shane Steiken

1167
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: was ultimately going to do with Anthony Richardson and how

1168
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 3: he would develop. And you see what CJS route is

1169
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 3: done with a bunch of games, and Richardson didn't get that,

1170
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 3: but it looked good in the short amount of time

1171
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 3: he was in there.

1172
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 6: But tell me about.

1173
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew Shane Stike in the chemistry, what Minshew's doing

1174
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 3: well at the quarterback position, because you don't get this

1175
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 3: far without him playing well.

1176
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 7: No, there's no doubt about that.

1177
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: You know.

1178
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 7: Obviously, you know, free agency happens before the draft and

1179
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 7: before the Colts could even put their sights on Anthony

1180
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 7: Richardson fourth. Overall, they needed somebody to come in and

1181
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 7: give them a good insurance policy should Anthony Richardson or

1182
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 7: whoever quarterback they drafted wasn't ready or if that guy

1183
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 7: suffered an injury. They needed somebody to keep him competitive

1184
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 7: in games, and that's exactly who Gardner Minshew is, and

1185
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 7: that's why they brought him in in free agency. There's

1186
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 7: a lot of familiarity there between Stiken and Minshew two

1187
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 7: years together in Philadelphia, so there was a lot of

1188
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 7: trust and certainly a lot of familiarity between the scheme

1189
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 7: and the offense that Gardner Minshew ran in Philadelphia. I mean,

1190
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 7: I think if you were giving Minshew some some truth serum,

1191
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 7: if you will, he would he would tell you, Hey,

1192
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 7: the reason I'm here is because of Shane Steichen, and

1193
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 7: it was a chance to come in and compete for

1194
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 7: the job and and and obviously have a good chance

1195
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 7: to play. And that has certainly come to fruition. I

1196
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 7: think coming up on Sunday or Saturday night in this

1197
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 7: case for Minshew, this is going to be his twelfth

1198
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 7: start of the season. But you know, Gardner, excuse me,

1199
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 7: Anthony Richardson goes down in the beginning of the season,

1200
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 7: you know, got the game four. And Minshew has kept

1201
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 7: this team competitive and has it looked pretty and aesthetically

1202
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 7: cleaned the entire season. No, absolutely not. I mean they're

1203
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 7: two different players. You know, Richardson's you know, obviously way

1204
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 7: more dynamic, being able to run the ball, the RPO,

1205
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 7: the read option game. Minshew is a quick, rhythm, uh

1206
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 7: get get the ball out fast type of quarterback, go

1207
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 7: through your reads real quick and get the ball into

1208
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 7: the hands of your playmakers. So I think it's different

1209
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 7: in that regard. And you know, you look at Minshew's

1210
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 7: season to this point and mean he's probably in the

1211
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 7: twenties in terms of rankings and all the major quarterback

1212
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 7: categories and stats. You know, you're talking about yards, yards

1213
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 7: per completion and passing yards and completion percentage, yards per attempt.

1214
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 7: I mean, he's not going to be confused with a

1215
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 7: top five quarterback. But I think Minshew has this unique

1216
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:26,959
Speaker 7: ability to compartmentalize and flush negative plays and just keep

1217
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 7: on playing and be that backyard you know quarterback, you know,

1218
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 7: game manager that he is, and he's just a really

1219
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 7: really fun player to watch and he doesn't give up,

1220
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 7: just like I think them of this team. And so

1221
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 7: this offense is really fun right now to watch under

1222
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 7: Gardner Minshew because every play is really eventful because of

1223
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 7: his scrambling ability, his pocket awareness and just again that

1224
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 7: backyard football mentality that he has to keep every play

1225
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 7: alive and give the playmakers a chance to make plays.

1226
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 3: All right, Matt, Now are they running the football so well?

1227
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 3: Because I'm blown away by this. It doesn't matter who's

1228
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 3: in there, the Colts can run the rock against the Steelers.

1229
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 3: I'm like the DiCaprio meme pointed to the screen. They're

1230
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 3: still running the ball. There's no moss, no tailor. They're

1231
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 3: what is the secret? The old line looks like the

1232
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 3: band is back together and playing well again. What do

1233
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 3: you think it is?

1234
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 7: They got Braden Smith back at the right tackle position

1235
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 7: on Sunday against the Raiders. He had missed three games

1236
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 7: with that knee injury, so to get him back is

1237
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 7: really really exceptional for the Colts because you know, I know,

1238
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 7: you've talked about the Texans offensive line being banged up

1239
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 7: and a lot of shuffling going on up front within

1240
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 7: that unit. The Colts have experienced, maybe not to the

1241
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 7: same degree that Texans have, but they've had to use

1242
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 7: some reserve parts. You mainly Blake Freelan either at right

1243
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 7: tackle or left tackle. Bernard Yman. They're outstanding left tackle.

1244
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 7: Second year players missed them games Rank Kelly's missed some games,

1245
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 7: so they've had relying on the depth. But for the

1246
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 7: most part this year, consistently being able to move the

1247
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 7: ball on the ground has been there for this team,

1248
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 7: which is to credit again to Shane Snykeen in terms

1249
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 7: of the scheme and how creative they've been able and

1250
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 7: in terms of being able to run the ball, whether

1251
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 7: that's you know, with Zach Moss or Jonathan Taylor who's

1252
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 7: back now. But I will say list lately it's it's

1253
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 7: kind of been feast or femme and really in the

1254
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 7: month of December, the Colts either run the ball really

1255
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 7: really well or it's a struggle. I mean Cincinnati, it

1256
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 7: was a struggle to sort of to move the ball in

1257
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 7: general and sort of and especially to run the ball

1258
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 7: in the ground. You know that Pittsburgh game that was

1259
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 7: the feast part of the equation. I think there was

1260
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 7: one part of that Pittsburgh game in the second half

1261
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 7: where they just completely, you know, tore the will out

1262
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 7: of Pittsburgh's soul in order to compete on defense. The

1263
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 7: Colts on one drive ran at thirteen consecutive plays before

1264
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 7: settling for a field goal. It was it wasn't there

1265
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 7: in Atlanta on Christmas Eve, but it did come back

1266
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 7: against the Raiders, rushing for over one hundred yards. And

1267
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 7: it's just situational football for the Colts. That's the biggest thing,

1268
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 7: you know. Shane Stychen always says, we're gonna throw it

1269
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 7: to score, and then we're gonna run it to win,

1270
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 7: to salt the game away, to get first downs, to

1271
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 7: kind of again take the will out of the defense.

1272
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 7: That's when we want to be able to run the ball,

1273
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 7: situational right four minutes in the game, get a couple

1274
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 7: of first downs, pound you up front, and I think

1275
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 7: for the most part, that's what the Colts have been

1276
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 7: able to do, and that's been their rest to before

1277
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 7: success on offense.

1278
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk defense. Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts,

1279
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 3: joining us, and I don't know where to start. I mean,

1280
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 3: when I look at DeForest Buckner and then I hear

1281
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: our guys talking about Zaria Franklin and EJ.

1282
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 6: Speed.

1283
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 3: Obviously no Shaq Leonard anymore, but it doesn't seem to

1284
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 3: matter really. Franklin's having a hell of a year. The

1285
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 3: tackle numbers are ridiculous. What about the d Matt, Yeah.

1286
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 7: The defense. I mean, I think we talked about this

1287
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 7: at the beginning of the season. There are Pro Bowl

1288
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 7: players and Pro Bowl caliber players in all three levels

1289
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 7: of that defense. You talked about Buckner up front, and

1290
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 7: then you also have Grover Stewart, who's one of the best,

1291
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 7: you know, run stuffing defensive tackles in the game. And

1292
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 7: then on the outside you got Quitty pay Samson, Ebacom

1293
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 7: DIOI Dangbo. Think, if I'm not mistaken, Mark, the Colts

1294
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 7: are the only team in the NFL to have four

1295
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 7: pass rushers or four players along their defensive line to

1296
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 7: have at least seven sacks. So it's kind of diverse.

1297
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 7: They hit you in different ways, and then they've got,

1298
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 7: you know, reserve players like Taekwon Lewis that come into

1299
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 7: the game. He's an incredibly efficient player and that he's disruptive,

1300
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 7: but he's only playing about thirty five forty percent of

1301
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 7: the snaps. So they hitch you in waves different different ways.

1302
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 7: They can get after the quarterback. They push you up front,

1303
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 7: and they come from the outside. And then the linebackers,

1304
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 7: like you talked about, I think the Colts have maybe

1305
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 7: the two best linebacker combination in the NFL right now.

1306
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm missing out on some other combinations, but you

1307
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 7: got Zaire Franklin and then EJ. Speed is just one

1308
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 7: of the best football players I've ever seen. He plays

1309
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 7: so hard, he is so fast, he hits you with

1310
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 7: every particle of his body. He's just a really, really

1311
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 7: good football player. He's a downhill tackler, he can cover

1312
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 7: in space. And then the back end, that's kind of

1313
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 7: the tricky part of this Colts defense right now. Kenny Moore,

1314
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 7: the second didn't play last week. He was out with

1315
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 7: the back injury. So that really tested the Colts to

1316
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 7: depth in the secondary because Julian Blackman went out with

1317
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 7: an injury a couple of weeks ago. He's done for

1318
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 7: the season with a shoulder injury. So on the outside

1319
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 7: of the cornerback spots mark you had two rookies. You

1320
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 7: had Jalen Jones who was drafted in the seventh round.

1321
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 7: You had ju Ju Brentz, who was a second round

1322
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 7: pick for the Colts. They were your outside guys. Then

1323
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 7: in the secondary, you had a second year player in

1324
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 7: Nick Cross and then Ronnie Harrison Junior, who the Colts

1325
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 7: picked up of a halfway through training camp. They actually

1326
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 7: transitioned him from safety to linebacker, but then at a

1327
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 7: pinch last week, they moved him from linebacker back to safety.

1328
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 7: Played really well all things considered, but then they had

1329
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 7: Chris Lamont, who had never started a game in the NFL,

1330
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 7: had never started obviously or never played the nickel cornerback position.

1331
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 7: He had to play the inside corner spot with Kenny

1332
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 7: Moore's injury, and so I think all that kind of

1333
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 7: hodge podging and mismatching it worked out well for a game,

1334
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 7: but they're trying to figure out their best personnel lineup

1335
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 7: in the secondary and trying to get Kenny Moore back

1336
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 7: into this game for this win and in playoff type

1337
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 7: game against the Texans.

1338
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 3: Matt Taylor, voice of the Colts, joining us. All right,

1339
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 3: let's turn our attention to a game that we're both

1340
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: interested in, especially whoever wins this One Saturday night, Matt

1341
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 3: will be watching the Jacksonville Jaguars taking on the Tennessee Titans.

1342
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 3: What do you think of the Jaguars journey this season?

1343
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 3: How have you viewed it?

1344
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 7: Well, it's kind of like the Colt season last year,

1345
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 7: maybe not to that degree, but you know, kind of

1346
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 7: the tail spin at the end of the year, you know,

1347
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 7: some injuries and then you know some inconsistencies on defense.

1348
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 7: You're playing a tough schedule. I mean that was evident

1349
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 7: in the last couple of weeks, and everybody watched that

1350
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 7: Ravens game on Sunday Night football. Baltimore just looks like

1351
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 7: the best team you know in the universe right now

1352
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 7: in terms of how well they're playing. So that was

1353
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 7: gonna be a tough game for him. But it's all

1354
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 7: eyes right now on Trevor Lawrence. If he's gonna be

1355
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 7: able to play in this game. Tennessee's on a little

1356
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 7: bit of a free fall. You might be wondering, you know,

1357
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 7: what they're gonna be doing long term at the head

1358
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 7: coaching position, and Mike Vrabel, what they're gonna do at quarterback?

1359
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 7: Is Will Levis the guy? It doesn't sound like Will

1360
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 7: Levis is gonna play in this game. How much fight

1361
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 7: will the Titans have for the Jaguars in a game

1362
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 7: where they're trying to clinch the division for the second

1363
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 7: straight years. So it's it's it's gonna be a fascinating division.

1364
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 7: As I said, it's gonna be a really good group

1365
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 7: of four teams. Now going forward. I mean, you've got

1366
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 7: some really good head coaches, You've got great quarterbacks. You know,

1367
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 7: the Colts have some free agency questions they're gonna have

1368
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 7: to answer in the offseason, But for the most part,

1369
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 7: you know, the nucleus is here for this team if

1370
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 7: they can continue to grow around Anthony Richardson. But you know,

1371
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 7: I think the Jacksville Jaguars are going to be playing

1372
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 7: some spirited football under Doug Peterson. I'd be shocked if

1373
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 7: they lost that game, to be honest with you, which

1374
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 7: is obviously a negative thing for either of the culture

1375
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 7: the Texans. Whoever wins that game on Saturday night, I

1376
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 7: thought that Jacksonville was the best team in the division

1377
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 7: from start to finish. Obviously they've hit some speed bumps

1378
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 7: along the way, but I would be really really surprised

1379
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 7: with all that's on the line for them, their ability

1380
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 7: to host a playoff game, win the division for the

1381
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 7: first time or for the second straight year, and you know,

1382
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 7: for the first time in back to back seasons, first

1383
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 7: time for them in their franchise's history. I just would

1384
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 7: be shocked if they didn't win this game and close

1385
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 7: it down in Week eighteen.

1386
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 3: Matt what do you think the best team is that

1387
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 3: you've played? I know Baltimore is record wise, but what

1388
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 3: win are you really proud of or is the organization

1389
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 3: really proud of? Is there one more than that or

1390
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 3: is that the one? Because it was relatively early, Week three,

1391
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Colts defeated the Ravens by three.

1392
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was obviously a really impressed of game for

1393
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 7: the Colts. They won in overtime. That was the game

1394
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,439
Speaker 7: where Matt Gay had to make five field goals over

1395
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 7: fifty yards. They got some turnovers in that game that

1396
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 7: obviously helped, you know, every able to kick some field

1397
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 7: goals on short fields. But yeah, I mean, I think

1398
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 7: the Ravens are just stratospherically right now in a different

1399
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 7: universe than than everybody else, certainly in the AFC. They've

1400
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 7: just been killing teams. I mentioned that Jaguars game. You know,

1401
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 7: they killed the Ravens. The other the Dolphins the other day,

1402
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 7: they killed San Francisco. Maybe the best team in the

1403
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 7: NFC right now. So yeah, I think if you look

1404
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,959
Speaker 7: back on Week three, it was a long long time ago,

1405
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 7: just like Week two was. In this first meeting between

1406
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 7: the Colts and the Texans, I'll tell you A really

1407
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 7: deceptive win for the Colts during this run here is

1408
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 7: they've won six of their last eight. A game that

1409
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 7: I was really impressed by with the Colts was their win.

1410
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 7: I think it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving where they

1411
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 7: knocked off Tampa Bay was playing pretty good football. Baker

1412
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 7: Mayfield got banged up in that game, but the defense

1413
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 7: did a nice job consistently throughout that game. Jonathan Taylor

1414
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 7: ran well. He was over ninety yards in that game.

1415
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 7: The offensive line, like we talked about, had a consistent

1416
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 7: push throughout most of that ball game. It was a

1417
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 7: close game, and that's been the biggest difference for the

1418
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 7: Colts this year compared to last year. I mean, I'm

1419
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 7: not telling anybody anything. They don't know. The NFL is

1420
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 7: just filled with parody. All of these games come down

1421
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 7: to the last four minutes. They're all one score games, seemingly,

1422
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 7: so if you can be good in one score games,

1423
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 7: you typically make the playoffs. And that's been the biggest

1424
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 7: difference this year for the Colts compared to last Colts

1425
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 7: last year were I think there were four to six

1426
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 7: and one in one score games. This year they're six

1427
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 7: and two. I mean, that's being able to win and

1428
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 7: crunch time and being able to close out games and

1429
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 7: make enough plays again in the last four minutes on

1430
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 7: offense and defense. That was one of those games where

1431
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 7: the Colts did enough to win that football game and

1432
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 7: made plays on both side of the ball against Tampa Bay.

1433
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 7: And again, you know, out of eight games they've won,

1434
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 7: six of them that have been decided by one score.

1435
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 7: That's been the biggest difference I think culturally and buying

1436
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 7: wise from Shane Stocking compared to last year with Jeff

1437
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 7: Saturday and Frank Reich.

1438
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 3: One more, Matt, what's the vibe like in Indy right now?

1439
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 3: For this one Saturday night both teams match up, primetime game,

1440
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 3: all the marbles to get to the postseason. Anyway, what

1441
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 3: is the vibe in town?

1442
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 7: I mean, it's bonkers right now. It's bonkers. I mean,

1443
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 7: this is it's a playoff game, right because the Colts

1444
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 7: can't make the playoffs with the loss, just like the Texans.

1445
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 7: So the next time either one of these teams loses,

1446
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 7: the season is over. So I mean, it's just crazy

1447
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 7: to think about it. I know we were talking about

1448
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 7: this earlier, but Week eighteen last year with these two

1449
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 7: teams at Lucas Oil Stadium, mark you could have bought

1450
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 7: a ticket for like fifteen bucks. Now you can buy

1451
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 7: a ticket for a couple more zeros. On the end

1452
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 7: of that, because of the importance of this one, I

1453
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 7: think everybody around here is just they've fallen in love

1454
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 7: with Shane and the culture of the cults are building.

1455
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 7: They're excited about Gardner Minshew. They're obviously way more excited

1456
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 7: about Anthony Richardson in terms of his future, but they

1457
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 7: kind of like this team with the way that it fights,

1458
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 7: the way it competes, the way they're able to kind

1459
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 7: of bounce back and not turn one bad loss into two,

1460
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 7: and so on and so forth. So it's just it's

1461
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 7: gonna be really, really fun. And you know, one thing

1462
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 7: that I didn't really think about until the drive end

1463
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 7: today kind of hit me that, you know, the Colts

1464
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 7: are gonna be playing on primetime for the first time

1465
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 7: all season, and I know the Texans are as well.

1466
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 7: I think that for the Texans it's gonna be the

1467
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 7: first time they're playing outside of the one o'clock Eastern

1468
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 7: Time Sunday window all season long. So it's a huge chance,

1469
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 7: you know, for both teams to showcase their talent to

1470
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 7: a to a bigger audience, you know, people that don't

1471
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 7: get to see the culture of the Texans play on

1472
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 7: a weekend and week out basis. And yeah, it's a

1473
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 7: playoff game and the postseason and that mentality it starts now.

1474
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 7: I know Shane Steigen's really dialed in, and I know

1475
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 7: the fan base is excited for this game as.

1476
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 3: Well as Bart Scott once said, can't wait. Let's do

1477
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 3: it Saturday night. Matt, thanks so much for the time.

1478

Speaker 2: that and who's got.

Speaker 1: To step up? Who are cream of the.

Speaker 2: Croppers for this game against the Indiapolis Cult.

1496
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 2: John Harrison Sideline Report. It's time to go in the

1497
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 2: lab with my man Drew Doherty. You never know how

1498
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna tork out, geek out, nerd out, whatever you

1499
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 2: want to call it, but we do it on in

1500
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 2: the lab, so we k teen they're get any bigger

1501
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 2: than this.

1502
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 6: Let's go wow, John. A year ago.

1503
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 9: A year ago, Texans got their clucks cleaned at home

1504
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 9: in their home finale of the regular season. They only

1505
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 9: scored three points, and then they headed to Indianapolis. They

1506
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 9: headed there with thirteen losses on the ledger and a stinky,

1507
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 9: smelly tie. This year, they cleaned the clocks of an

1508
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 9: AFC South opponent. Last year. Is the Jags that got you?

1509
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 9: This year, you get the Titans. You only scored three

1510
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 9: last year, you only allowed three this year and you're

1511
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 9: heading back to Indianapolis. And last year when you headed

1512
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 9: to India the Colts weren't any good either. You were

1513
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 9: kind of jockeying for top of the draft position depending

1514
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 9: on who law won. Yep, this year the culture good Man,

1515
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 9: Culture Good. They're a winner nine and seven. No matter

1516
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 9: what happens, They're gonna have a winning record this year.

1517
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 9: No matter what happens, you're gonna have a winning record

1518
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 9: this year, and the winner moves on, the loser goes home.

1519
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 9: Not going to entertain this tie talk stuff, because things

1520
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 9: can still happen either way.

1521
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 4: With the tie.

1522
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 9: I don't want to hear about it when you're in

1523
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 9: lose your home. Can you believe it? Can you believe it?

1524
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 9: Can you believe how awesome and refreshing things are? If

1525
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 9: we went back in time and I told you all

1526
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 9: these things John last year at this time.

1527
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 4: What would you say.

1528
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 9: I mean, we've seen it, but what would you believe

1529
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 9: it was this fun and this well you're freshing and

1530
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 9: this exciting. The way it's gone.

1531
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 2: Down, Yeah, I don't know if I would have gone

1532
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 2: that far. I mean, teams have turned things around. We've

1533
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 2: seen that before. You know, the ninety eight Rams are

1534
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 2: thought to be one of the worst teams in the

1535
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 2: history of the NFL. The ninety nine Rams end up

1536
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 2: with some grocery bagging quarterback who leads them to a

1537
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

1538
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 6: So, you know, you've seen we've seen teams do some things.

1539
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 2: And when the team was was starting to be put

1540
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 2: together and you saw the veterans that were signed, and

1541
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 2: then I started thinking, like, you know, I like this,

1542
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 2: Jimmy Ward signing a lot. Well, we got Dalton, we

1543
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 2: got Dalton Schultz and Devin Singletary. I think on the

1544
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 2: same day. That's when the dudes broke for both of them,

1545
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Like I like both of them. Devin Devon was a

1546
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,719
Speaker 2: guy that you know each year I write, you know.

1547
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 6: How do you know, like at a position analysis, you know,

1548
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 6: what does this position need? What?

1549
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 2: What do I think the Texans will will do at

1550
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 2: each one of these positions? And obviously at various positions

1551
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 2: you had draft picks that they would look at.

1552
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 6: But at running back I.

1553
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 2: Had draft picks they would look at, Taj Spears being

1554
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 2: one of them who were now have to face twice

1555
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 2: a year with Tennessee. But I had Devin Singletary as

1556
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 2: a guy I thought they might could look at. This

1557
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense. He Danmian Pierce could make

1558
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,759
Speaker 2: for a really good duo. I had that with Jimmy

1559
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 2: Ward too. I thought Jimmy Ward would be instrumental in

1560
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,520
Speaker 2: the secondary. So I thought there was a good opportunity

1561
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 2: to turn things around. But Drew I felt probably better

1562
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 2: about all that happening before week two happened. When Week

1563
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 2: two happened against the Indeapolis Colts, I was like, oh, man, wow,

1564
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 2: So I'll tell this quick story. I have a buddy

1565
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 2: of mine and we were talking about you know.

1566
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 6: He asked me before the season, was.

1567
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 4: Your buddy Chuck Norris?

1568
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll call him Chuck.

1569
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 2: He asked me what I thought the Texans record would be,

1570
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 2: and I did the thing that I always do. I say, okay,

1571
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 2: we got four games against the AFC North, we go

1572
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 2: one and three against them.

1573
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 6: Well, we end up going two and two.

1574
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 2: I think with our three crossover games would give be

1575
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 2: two and one. With the Broncos, the Jets, and the Cardinals,

1576
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 2: he ended up two and one. I felt like against

1577
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 2: the NFC South we could be three and one.

1578
01:10:59,120 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 6: I thought.

1579
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 2: I felt like that. Now we ended up two and two.

1580
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 2: So then okay. In the division, well, in the years

1581
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 2: in which we were absolutely not very good. We went

1582
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 2: three and three, so we can go three and three

1583
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 2: or four and two. He started adding up and it's like, well,

1584
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 2: you know, that's like nine wins, and so I was like,

1585
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 2: I think the low point would be seven. I think

1586
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 2: we get to seven, but you know, nine's possible. I mean,

1587
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 2: based on this, I think so well we lost that

1588
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 2: Colts game. I got a text from him in a

1589
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 2: third quarters serious. He was like, he's like, eight wins.

1590
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 2: You're not even gonna win one game. So every time,

1591
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 2: so every time after we win a game, I text

1592
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 2: him the number of wins, like that's five, that's seven,

1593
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 2: that's eight, and he just always chuckles. And the thing

1594
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 2: was is, if you were sitting there watching the team

1595
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 2: that game, you would think, Yeah, that team isn't gonna

1596
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 2: win another football game.

1597
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 6: That team isn't beating anybody.

1598
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 2: Beat the Cardinals, we might beat the Panthers, et cetera.

1599
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 6: That team's not winning nine games.

1600
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 2: Well, Luckily, before that game was over, that team left

1601
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 2: the building. The one that then flew to Jacksonville was

1602
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 2: a much different team and played much differently the rest

1603
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 2: of the year and has played extremely well the rest

1604
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 2: of the year. They're nine to five since that Week

1605
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 2: two matchup, which is pretty solid. Now injuries are taken

1606
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 2: away a little bit, but you figured out everybody's dealing

1607
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 2: with injuries. The Colts are playing to rookies at corner,

1608
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 2: but they didn't expect to start this year. You know,

1609
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 2: Zach Moss was banged up last week. You know, things happened.

1610
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 2: So but both teams have figured it out to yeah,

1611
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 2: this point to nine and seven, I'll say that Shane

1612
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 2: Steikeen's done a hell of a job with the Colts.

1613
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 6: Miko Ryan's done a hell of a job with the

1614
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:48,600
Speaker 6: Colt With the Texans.

1615
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a weird team.

1616
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 9: It's like, how the hell did they win all these games?

1617
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:51,799
Speaker 4: The Colts.

1618
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 9: You know, you look at the textan it's like, oh,

1619
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 9: well they got CJ. Stroud, he's doing stuff, and they

1620
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 9: got all these receivers and Willie Anderson and Grenardoh boom

1621
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 9: boom boo boom, It's like Gardner Mitt.

1622
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1623
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 9: But then you look at that defensive line. The Colts

1624
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 9: have never had more sacks in a season than they

1625
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 9: have this year.

1626
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: Yep.

1627
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 9: And that's including all the Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis years.

1628
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 9: That's all that says something, because those guys were a terror.

1629
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 9: Now what was in between them, you know, we don't know,

1630
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 9: but they could rack up sacks. This one forty six

1631
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 9: sacks through sixteen years. There's still another game to go.

1632
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 9: They set the franchise record with one game left. Four

1633
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 9: guys have seven sacks or more. Nobody has double digit

1634
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 9: sacks before guys have. Yeah, man, that's that is high.

1635
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 9: That's really really impressive.

1636
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 6: So and that's Chris Ballard's impact on that team.

1637
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 2: Chris Ballad has always felt like you went into trenches first, yep.

1638
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 2: So he trades the first for DeForrest Buckner. He may

1639
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 2: he signed Abacom. He drafted Dioa Dingbo even though he

1640
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 2: had a torny cl at the time. He drafted him

1641
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 2: the second round of twenty one. The Crover Stewer was

1642
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick, but he really believed in.

1643
01:13:58,160 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 3: What he had there.

1644
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 2: They just bolstered that line with a lot of high

1645
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 2: picks and signings and that's really helped them on both

1646
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 2: sides of the ball in the trenches. And so the

1647
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 2: Texans have gotta I say this every time we face

1648
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 2: the Colts now, And in fact I told the Meeka

1649
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 2: the other day. I was still mad at former GM

1650
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 2: John Lynch of the forty nine ers for trading to

1651
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 2: Forest Buckner to the Colt So thanks John Lynch. But

1652
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Stuart and Buckner, if you control Stuart and Buckner, you

1653
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 2: have a chance to beat them. And that's a really

1654
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 2: tall task when you're talking about a center and guard

1655
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 2: position that you're probably working on your your second or

1656
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 2: third option. At a minimum, we're at both. But they've

1657
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 2: played together now for a while. So you're gonna beat

1658
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: the bully. You got to run up and hit the

1659
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 2: bully right in the mouth. And so hopefully for sixty

1660
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 2: minutes against Indianapolis Colts at seven fifteenth Central time, we'll

1661
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 2: hit the bully right in the mouth.

1662
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1663
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 9: You know, we began this podcast essentially by doing our

1664
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 9: traditional what if I told you, So.

1665
01:14:58,439 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

1666
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 9: We'll do a micro what if I told you about

1667
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 9: last weekend because it's tough to find stuff. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1668
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 9: but you can kind I can kind of trick you.

1669
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 9: John h before the game against the Titans, what if

1670
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 9: I told you Ryan Tannehill was going to complete better

1671
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,719
Speaker 9: than you know what, You're gonna say seventy five percent

1672
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,600
Speaker 9: of his passes he might have a passer rating of

1673
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 9: one on one point seven.

1674
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,600
Speaker 4: John, what if I told you that?

1675
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Tanny Hill was the one I worried

1676
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 2: about the most. Yeah, he really was. But you know

1677
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 2: he got a few of those throws I say garbage time,

1678
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 2: but in garbage time. But during the course of the game,

1679
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 2: the Texans are already by the time he gets to

1680
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,440
Speaker 2: the game at seventy nothing, so you know they already

1681
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 2: had They didn't Tannehill proof the game. But to me,

1682
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 2: where they they came up big was on that that

1683
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 2: third quarter drive. They're up twenty to three. I guess

1684
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 2: what it was, twenty to three, maybe twenty three to three.

1685
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 2: I can't remember which was which. But they come up

1686
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 2: with a seven play stop after just a horrendous call

1687
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 2: on has been King for hitting Tannehill late.

1688
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 6: I mean that was horrendous. On third down, he got

1689
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 6: him stop.

1690
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna kick a field goal because they're I don't know,

1691
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 2: back to the ten to twelve yards one, whatever it is.

1692
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go for it from the twelve kick a

1693
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 6: field goal. It's twenty six, but they're within two scores.

1694
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 2: They get that penalty, I'm like, oh man, well, that

1695
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 2: gets him closer and then they get four more stops

1696
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 2: and play by Christian Harris was just incredible. We talked

1697
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 2: to Demico Ryans about that and I always kind of

1698
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 2: point to this chair over here because that's where he sits.

1699
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 2: And Tomiko made a great place that you know we've

1700
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 2: been We've been talking with Christian and teaching him how

1701
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 2: to play that route that they ran all year long,

1702
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 2: and he said he finally saw it and then made

1703
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 2: a break and he's like, if he had better hands,

1704
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 2: it would have been one hundred the other way, which

1705
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 2: would have been incredible.

1706
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 6: Can you imagine Christian Harrison running the other way with

1707
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 6: the football at that point? Oh my god. But point

1708
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 6: being they.

1709
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 2: Got to Tannehill, Will Anderson had a couple of those sacks.

1710
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:52,440
Speaker 6: Derek Barnett was incredible.

1711
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 2: So you were able to disrupt it and made that

1712
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 2: eighty percent sixteen to twenty really meaningless. I think back

1713
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 2: to one of our great wins against the Titans with

1714
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, Marcus Mariota had completed twenty two passes in

1715
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 2: a row and they didn't amount to Diddley squad.

1716
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 9: That's the last time you beat the Titans by the

1717
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 9: way at home.

1718
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, his his rating was I don't even

1719
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 6: remember what his rating was.

1720
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 2: He completed passes on third down, but they were all

1721
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 2: short of the markers, so it was like, who cares?

1722
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 9: Wasn't that the game also where Deshaun Watson had more

1723
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,480
Speaker 9: touchdown passes than he did in completions.

1724
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,839
Speaker 6: Yes, that's correct, That's absolutely correct.

1725
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, we've had Titan quarterbacks that have

1726
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 2: done that, but they really they were meaningless throws for

1727
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 2: the most part, especially by the time.

1728
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 6: Tannail got in the game.

1729
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 9: And then on top of that, it'd be a what

1730
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 9: if I told you the Texans were three of eleven

1731
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 9: on third down and one of three in the red

1732
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 9: zone or goal. Yeah, one of three in the red zone,

1733
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 9: you probably would that's it. But there's so many anyways,

1734
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 9: let's move on. Let's move on on Monday morning after

1735
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:57,759
Speaker 9: the Texans victory on Saturday. So on Sunday morning, really, okay,

1736
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 9: who's your cream of the cropper? They won because this

1737
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 9: guy did this.

1738
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 4: Who's your cream of the Crop award winner?

1739
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:05,599
Speaker 9: John?

1740
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 6: It is going to be rookie juice Scrugs.

1741
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:11,600
Speaker 4: He's gonna get tested.

1742
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:13,759
Speaker 2: If the Texans walk out of there and Juice Scrugs

1743
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 2: has played a A B or B plus game, the

1744
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 2: Texans will win that game. If Juice Scrugs is playing

1745
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 2: at a D minus D D minus level, that Grover

1746
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 2: Stewart's eating him up. And look, Grover Stewart's gonna beat

1747
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,879
Speaker 2: him once. Buckner is gonna beat him once that happens.

1748
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 2: But if Juice Scruggs holds his own in this game

1749
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 2: against those two guys, it will make all the difference

1750
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 2: in the world and the Texans will walk out of

1751
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,879
Speaker 2: there with the win. They must control those two players

1752
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 2: on Saturday night, absolutely without question.

1753
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 9: It's gonna be fascinating to see what Bobby Slowik, the

1754
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 9: offensive coordinator, does to mitigate some of the damage that

1755
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 9: those guys are capable of doing. Jewe scrug is going

1756
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 9: to be important in that. Do we see more of

1757
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,759
Speaker 9: Andrew Beck He was inactive last week because the injury.

1758
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 9: Practiced on Tuesday. I almost said Wednesday, but Tuesday on

1759
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 9: a win.

1760
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 6: Our days are all off cruss me like it's.

1761
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 9: Is more Dalton Schultz breading Jordan in the backfield helping.

1762
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 9: I mean, we'll see, we shall see. For me, I'm

1763
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 9: gonna go with Dalton Schultz because of a little bit

1764
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 9: of that. He's gonna have to block some. Yeah, I

1765
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 9: mean tight ends always have to block some. But it's

1766
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 9: gonna be gonna be important to see what he does

1767
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 9: in past pro But I think he gets his in

1768
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 9: the in the passing game. I think he's gonna get

1769
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 9: his chances a lot of short.

1770
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 4: Quick stuff.

1771
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 6: Perhaps that's a good point.

1772
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 7: C J.

1773
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 9: Stroud Man, I love watching Dalton Schultz like he's he's

1774
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,679
Speaker 9: a physical tight end. He'll he'll put some punishment on

1775
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 9: on unsuspecting dbs late.

1776
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know who are expecting.

1777
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 9: Oh, he's gonna go out of bounds on Dalton gets

1778
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 9: some good, you know at the very end.

1779
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 4: So give me.

1780
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 9: Dalton Schultz is my dream of the Crop Award winner.

1781
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 4: Are you cool with that?

1782
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm cool with that. And you know, I think

1783
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 2: you could even expand it. Drew to Revin, Jordan and

1784
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 2: Beck you mentioned back. I mean just the tight end,

1785
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 2: full back room whatever, you know, Jake Moreland's room, you

1786
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 2: know whoever you got in there. I think that that

1787
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 2: group can take a lot of pressure off of CJ. Strottam,

1788
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 2: who saw on Sunday with brevit Jordan playing full back,

1789
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 2: they'll slider out the cot gets in the end zone

1790
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:17,799
Speaker 2: for a touchdown.

1791
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 6: Getting the ball out of CJ's hands is.

1792
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 2: Going to be paramount in this game because if you

1793
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 2: get away from the front four, now linebackers can run.

1794
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 2: Sarah Franklin j speed, I mean, maybe the fastest players

1795
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 2: you can find.

1796
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:33,799
Speaker 6: Secondary.

1797
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 2: You know, Kenny Moore is always out there and that's

1798
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 2: always tough, but he was banged up last week. We'll

1799
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 2: see if he plays this week on a maagine he's

1800
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 2: going to or at least gonna try. But if you

1801
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 2: just get the ball of your tight ends and get

1802
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 2: him out of space, that's gonna that's gonna result in.

1803
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 2: That's gonna result in some plays for the tight end

1804
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 2: in a couple of big plays probably, And I think

1805
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 2: that's really gonna help you take some of that heat

1806
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 2: off the interior that okay, the ball's coming out hot.

1807
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 2: How did the Colts beat us in Week two? Gardner

1808
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,839
Speaker 2: Minshew took two steps and threw every balls like, yeah.

1809
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 6: What to what to?

1810
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: What do?

1811
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 6: It was everything. There was no Minshew magic. There was

1812
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:06,680
Speaker 6: no hold on to the ball, there was none of that.

1813
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 3: It was the ball was.

1814
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 2: Out of his hands hot and they just moved the

1815
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 2: ball that way. They were efficient and consistent, and I

1816
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 2: think the Texas could be the same. And I think

1817
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,759
Speaker 2: your guy don't show would be a big part because

1818
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 2: remember back to the week two, get a block a

1819
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 2: lot in that game. Yeah you know now, I guess right, No, Well,

1820
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with Lamye Tounssel.

1821
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 6: That's that's a that's a big thing. Yeah, that's gonna

1822
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 6: be a big thing in this whole thing.

1823
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:29,719
Speaker 9: It sure will.

1824
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 2: Fantastic stuff by us, Drew Doherty and myself.

1825

1861
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 8: an injury. You know, you go into a year with

1862
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 8: expectations and you know, obviously I wanted a full, healthy

1863
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,799
Speaker 8: year under my belt, but you know that didn't happen.

1864
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 8: But you know, I was glad that I was able

1865
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:14,800

01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 10: Absolutely.

1868
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 11: And what was it like seeing your teammates and the

1869
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 11: games in the season and just kind of cheering them

1870
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 11: on from the side. But what was that experience like

1871
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 11: for you, especially with how the season is going.

1872
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's been unbelievable. I mean this is

1873
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 8: kind of a new excitement and new vibe that you know,

1874
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:35,680
Speaker 8: I haven't been used to since I've been here. And

1875
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 8: you know, credit to Damiico and all those guys. I mean,

1876
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 8: they've really done a good job turning this thing around.

1877
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 8: So I was excited to get back out there and

1878
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 8: be a part of that.

1879
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, And that was a big win on Sunday obviously.

1880
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 11: So and also, you have a really cool story, because

1881
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:54,720
Speaker 11: football it's more than just your job or you know,

1882
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 11: your passion, your love, but it's also a family of fair,

1883
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 11: So I can't wait to learn more. But you obviously

1884
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 11: you grew up with football all around you. Your dad

1885
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 11: he played I believe twelve seasons yep, and he still

1886
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 11: coaches in the league. So let's talk about that. What

1887
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 11: was it like growing up with football all around you?

1888
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 11: And what was it like in the heck household.

1889
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 8: Yeah. So football is definitely a huge part of our

1890
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 8: family growing up. And you know, I idolized my dad

1891
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 8: growing up, so watching him as a player and then

1892
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 8: a coach, you know, it was always my dream to

1893
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 8: be a football player and kind of following his shoes.

1894
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 8: So that was a huge part of my life, just

1895
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 8: kind of setting goals and wanting to be a college

1896
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 8: football player, then wanting to be an NFL player. But

1897
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:41,719
Speaker 8: you know something about my dad, he always did a

1898
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 8: great job just being our dad. First. There was never

1899
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 8: pressure about playing football. He would have been happy no

1900
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 8: matter what I decided to do in life.

1901
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:54,799
Speaker 11: Yeah, And what is one of your first memories involving

1902
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:55,959
Speaker 11: your dad and football?

1903
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 10: Do you have one?

1904
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 8: Well, probably not first memory, but something I really always

1905
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 8: enjoyed was early on when he was coaching in Jacksonville,

1906
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 8: going to mini camps. My brother and I. We would

1907
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,639
Speaker 8: be go to the OTAs in many camps and we'd

1908
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 8: be water boys around Alba, all the giant o linemen

1909
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,720
Speaker 8: back then. And you know that's when I, both my

1910
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 8: brother and myself really wanted to be a football players.

1911
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 9: Yea.

1912
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 11: So also something that I read is that your your brother,

1913
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 11: he works here. He is the strength and conditioning coach

1914
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 11: here at the Texans. So did you, guys ever imagine

1915
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,639
Speaker 11: that you'd be working together, let alone for the same

1916
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 11: NFL team.

1917
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

1918
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was very very cool experience. You know, we

1919
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 8: played together in college at U and C, and then

1920
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 8: you know he was actually my strength coach at U

1921
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,560
Speaker 8: and C also for a few years, and so that

1922
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:50,560
Speaker 8: it was cool to have him here too for a

1923
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 8: little bit.

1924
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 10: And we have to talk about you and C as well.

1925
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 10: Go tar Heels.

1926
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 11: I have so many friends that went there, and anytime

1927
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 11: we talk about, you know, the university, we talk about

1928
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 11: Chapel Hill. Everyone just they just go on about it.

1929
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:07,719
Speaker 11: So how did you come about that decision and going there?

1930
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, So a lot of it had to do with

1931
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 8: my brother. So he was two and a half years

1932
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 8: older than me, and he committed there on a scholarship

1933
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 8: and then he was playing there, so you know, I

1934
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 8: kind of wanted to follow him there, and so when

1935
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 8: they offered me, I jumped right on that, and no

1936
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 8: looking back is the best decision in my life.

1937
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1938
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,719
Speaker 10: What was that experience like for you just playing there

1939
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 10: and just living there?

1940
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was unbelievable. I mean I made so many

1941
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 8: friends there, lifelong friends. I met my wife there and

1942
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 8: then Yeah, it was really cool being able to overlap

1943
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 8: with my brother too, and I loved the university.

1944
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1945
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 11: And we also have to talk about NFL Draft Day

1946
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 11: twenty twenty. What was that moment? Like, what do you

1947
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 11: recall from that day?

1948
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1949
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 8: It was an interesting day. I mean, so that was

1950
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 8: during COVID and you know, my dad, as a coach,

1951
01:26:57,200 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 8: he was working from home, so he was set up

1952
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 8: in our his office. They're working from home on draft day,

1953
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 8: so it's pretty.

1954
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 3: Cool, you know.

1955
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,799
Speaker 8: I remember I got the call when I was actually

1956
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 8: just downstairs playing a game of ping pong.

1957
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 6: Oh nice, That's just one thing I remember.

1958
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 8: And you know, that was one of the best days

1959
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 8: of my life.

1960
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,640
Speaker 10: And what was your dad was?

1961
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 11: What was his mood like when he I mean, what

1962
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 11: was it like for all of you guys.

1963
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 8: Oh, he was so happy. Yeah, he was so happy

1964
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 8: for me. I don't know if he wanted me to

1965
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 8: join him with the Chiefs or not, but he was

1966
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 8: very happy that it all worked out.

1967
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 11: And what is it like when it comes between you

1968
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 11: and your brother and your dad, the dynamic when it's

1969
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 11: you know, Texans and perhaps going against the Chiefs.

1970
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's just he's been He'll always cheer for us,

1971
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 8: you know. He he handles his business. He knows we're

1972
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 8: going to handle ours. But he's always been our dad first.

1973
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 11: And when it comes to him giving you advice, does

1974
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 11: he come from a former player perspective or a current coach?

1975
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 3: A little bit of both, you know.

1976
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 8: I think that has made him a good coach too,

1977
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 8: is that he played a long time, kind of knows

1978
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 8: about oline what they go through, and so that's been

1979
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 8: great having him as a resource also.

1980
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 11: And let's talk about Houston. Now, what do you like

1981
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,519

2071
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:42,040
