1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Andre.

2
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 2: We expected improvement for the Texans coming off their win

3
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: over the Titans, but I don't know if we expected

4
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 2: this much improvement forty four to ten final. And you

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: and I talked about Dereck Henry before the game. This

6
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: is a guy you absolutely have to be aware of.

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: You have to slow him down. They're going to go

8
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: to him a lot. He's an NFL superhero. They hold

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: him to thirty three yards on fifteen carries. He did

10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: have the short touchdown, but that wasn't a goal to go.

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: That was after a big play. Your thoughts on the

12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: job they did defensively, especially on Henry.

13
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was a heck of a job defensively

14
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: because they got the penetration necessary. The one thing we

15
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: described in the pregame was not allowing Derrick Henry to

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: get a full head of steam approaching the line of scrimmage,

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: because that's when you find yourself in a tremendous amount

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: of trouble and he's able to break runs, break tackles,

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: and hit big home runs on you. That didn't happen today.

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 1: Texans got penetration. They made him, you know, chop his

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: feet in the backfield trying to find a place to go.

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: And what would you say, would you? I think you

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: said this longest run of the day was set seven yards. Yep.

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Yep, that's amazing. This is similar to the

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: performances they had a couple of years ago when Henry

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: was still a Titan. Now flip it to the offensive

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: side here. What did you make of what you saw

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: from CJ Stroud with the four touchdown passes two hundred

29
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: and forty four yards twenty three of twenty seven quarterback

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: rating one forty three point nine.

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a well played game, I thought by CJ.

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: It just lets you know that he's starting to really

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: understand this offense a little bit more. Uh, distributing the football.

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: He had time to throw today. There were times though

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: that he did take some a couple of licks, but

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: he was able to stand in there complete passes down

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the field they max protect. When he hit Christian Kirk

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: on the deep deep over route that it was pretty.

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: It was fun to watch, it was fun to be

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: a part of, and I think only growth happens from

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: this point forward.

42
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: Ground game performance Chubbs sixty one yards twenty four by

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: Woody Marx Pierce came in and mop up duty twenty

44
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: one yards on seven carries. But CJ had that career

45
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: long thirty yard run as well. You add that all

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: up and it's a pretty good day run of the

47
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: football as the Texans hit one hundred and sixty seven

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: net rushing yards.

49
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's you know, the running game I think

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: is in a good place with Woody Chubb, CJ giving

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: you some, and then you know Damian Pierce coming in.

52
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: He looked look good at times. He had a couple

53
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: of good runs in this one. So I feel pretty

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: good about where things are in the running game, no doubt.

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: Past catchers. We see the first career touchdown for Xavier Hutchinson.

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: He had two. As a matter of fact, Noel gets

57
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: into the end zone. Higgins didn't score, but he got

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: in the act as well. Nico with another touchdown. The

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: ball was spread around nicely. Schultz actually had a terrific

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: day receiving that football, led everybody in receptions with five.

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean in x he shows up. The guy's

62
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: just as steady of player as there is on this

63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: team in terms of doing his job. He's an excellent

64
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: edge blocker because if you're gonna have plays down the field,

65
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: receivers are gonna have to block. He does. He takes

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: pride in doing that so much so that the Nick

67
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: Chubb touchdown run, the main block thrown was by Xavier

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Hutchinson doing something unselfish, which is blocking walling his guy off,

69
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: and it allowed Chubb to cut outside and then hit

70
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: the gear. Then he comes up with two touchdown catches

71
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: on top of that. It was just a well played

72
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: game by him, and I thought a well played game

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: overall by the offense.

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: Big picture, this was a depleted football team they were playing,

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: but they took care of their business in a big way.

76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: So your thoughts overall two or three heading into the

77
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: buy with Seattle up.

78
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Next, Yeah, sure feels a whole lot better than one

79
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: and four, that's for sure. And you did what you

80
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: were supposed to do needed to do by coming in

81
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: here depleted or not. You had to win a football

82
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: game or you're gonna hear it for the next two

83
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: weeks before you play again. So you know it's a

84
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: good taste in your mouth going into the bye. Guys

85
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: get the lift, get to get their bodies back in

86
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: top top peak form and ready to go for the stretch.

87
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: Rundown after the bye week.

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: Texans winner is forty four to ten at Baltimore
