1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to a Monday edition of Texans All 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: John Harris. Glad you're with me tonight. We're gondre Ware 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: John McClain on the show, and then we'll take a 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: quick run around the NFL. Some news, as always with 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: this league of hours. My goodness, there's always news. There's 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: news in Las Vegas where another twenty twenty first round 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: pick has been released. I'm telling you that draft the 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna look back on. Oh my goodness. My 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: friend Cody Stots tweeted this out today and I really 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: want to save this for later, but my buddy Cody 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: Stuts put this out there, and it's always a good 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: reference point as it pertains to big trades, because obviously 14 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: we've been talking about big trades over the last well, 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, six to nine months, Somewhere along those lines, 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,639 Speaker 1: Cody put this out there, and this is interesting. Remember 17 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: the Raiders traded Khalil Mack to the Bears and he 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: got two first round picks back, and it looked like, man, okay, 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. John Gruden can't really get along. But Gruden 20 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: got a pretty good haul coming back for the Raiders. 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: The Raiders turned Khalil Mack into running back Josh Jacobs, 22 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: who's still there doing wellish, bless On Austin now on 23 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: Seattle the other second. The other first round pick they 24 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: got was Damon Arnett from out of Ohio State, who 25 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: had a third round grade on released. And then they 26 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: had Brian Edwards, a receiver who's still there and still 27 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: sort of waiting for him to break out. Those are 28 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: the four players they got, and Cody's point goes to 29 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: the fact that, hey, if you make a monumental trade, 30 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: which it happened sometime soon, I don't know when, but 31 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: if you do, the players you get back better be 32 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: better than Josh Jacobs, Blason Austin, demand, Damon Arnette, and 33 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: Brian Edwards something to think about what's going on with 34 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders. We'll talk a little bit more about that 35 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: later we go around the NFL, but right now it's 36 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: time to catch up with our good pal Andre where 37 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: it's a fun discussion this morning about all things Texans, 38 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy, and of course University of Cincinnati Trey. You 39 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: gotta be very deliberate when you throw it out of bounds, correct, Yeah, 40 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: you got to make sure that the ball gets you know, 41 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: it works its way out of bounds, and there's no 42 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: doubt if you're trying to complete a pass, make sure 43 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: that it's your receiver or it's it's going out of bounds. 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: But you've got to make sure if you're just trying 45 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: to get rid of it, make sure the ball travels 46 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: out about Otherwise what happened yesterday to to Rod is 47 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: going to happen or you leave it up for for 48 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: chance where ball gets tipped back into the field to 49 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: play and nothing good happens for a quarterback when the 50 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: ball is tipped. Drey with Tyrod yesterday when he's been off, 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean been off away away from the field since 52 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: week two, and he comes back in week nine, so 53 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: he's been out for seven weeks. I mean he's expected 54 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: to have some rust, but did yesterday seeming like either 55 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: was a little too much rust on Tyrod. Well, I 56 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: just believe rust is rust, and yeah, whether you have 57 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: too much or too little is to show itself at 58 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: some point in time. So uh, yeah, that's a long 59 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: period of time to just be thrown back in. You know. 60 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: The perfect situation is maybe Uh, he's the he's a 61 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: backup coming into Davis, and then all of a sudden 62 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: he gets some time and then works his way kind 63 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: of back in it. But you know, when you're when 64 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: you start the season as the starter, things like this happened. 65 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: He's a veteran guy who you think would be able 66 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: to uh to have it, you know, bounced right back 67 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: into it. But and and at the very least take 68 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: care of the ball a little bit better than he 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: did yesterday Monust the three picks. All right, Well, help 70 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: me out here, Trey. You're a quarterback. There's zero blitzing 71 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: a lot. What do you want as a quarterback when 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: that happens? What can help you out? A safety valve 73 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: however you want to put it. What do you want 74 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: to see in a pattern to get the ball out fast? Well, 75 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: there's two things. You want to be able to pick 76 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: up where you can slide to so that you have 77 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: no traffic in your face and you're able to get 78 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: the ball out. At least one guy is going to 79 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: be yours, So you want the middle of the formation 80 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: secure it up. And then if you slide protect you know, 81 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: the endman off the backside, or however you choose to 82 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: have it, whether he's come in front or backside, is yours? 83 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: So that lets you know the timing mechanism of when 84 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: I need to get the ball out of my hands. 85 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: And then secondly, a matchup that you can go to 86 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: based on maybe formation that you formation this matchup where 87 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: it's Brandon Cooks against this defender or anybody else against 88 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: a certain defender that you like. That's where I'm going 89 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: with a football pre snap. If he wins good, they 90 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: just give him the ball and you're depending on him 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: to win it. You may even tell him that before 92 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: you break the huddle. Hey, I need you to win 93 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: right here where you expect zero. You give it a 94 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: good look. If you see him disappear, you know you 95 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: got zero. I need you to win. And the last 96 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: thing is you're hoping receivers cut their routes off a 97 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: little bit because if you're running a full of depth, 98 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat it every time. And that's obviously what happened. 99 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Drey is a quarterback when you and you're not watching 100 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: the defense, but you know the defense keeps giving you 101 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: the ball back. The defense gave up one play beyond 102 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: twenty yards yesterday. They shut out the Dolphins in the 103 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: second half they had five overall turnovers. How much more 104 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: pressure did that put on the quarterback into you sense 105 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: it all that maybe Tyrod felt some of that that, 106 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: hey man, the defense is doing this. Man, we gotta 107 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: go do something. And maybe they're stressing or they're they're 108 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: pushing a little bit harder than just hey, let's relax 109 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: and play. You sense that as a quarterback that your 110 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: defense is doing all this, Hey man, we gotta go 111 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: out and do it. And because that, you put more 112 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: pressure on yourself and the offense. Yes, and I believe 113 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: watching that game that Tad put came into it and 114 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,559 Speaker 1: maybe put a little bit too much pressure on himself 115 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: to win the job right back you know that week, Yeah, 116 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: and I think it's showed with that pass before the half, 117 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, trying to do too much. And there were 118 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: plenty of instances in the game in which that was 119 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: that was you could identify that. And then certainly when 120 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: you're getting that many turnovers, yeah, we need to reward 121 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: the defense. And then you go back and you turn 122 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: it over yourself, So then there's pressure that mounts the 123 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: next time you take the field. You just got to 124 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: play through those things. Five turnovers, you're supposed to win 125 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: a football game. There's no doubt about it. The defense 126 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: did their job yesterday. The offense, you know, it's three 127 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: phases to this thing, and obviously one phase came up 128 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: a little bit short. Well, I'm looking at this defense, Drey, 129 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: and look, you have eight games left in this season. 130 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: But moving into the future, I'm really encouraged by some 131 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: of the pressures they get without having to send extra 132 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: guys to pressure, right, I mean the front door collapsing, 133 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: that pocket I present many times, forcing turnovers, forcing and 134 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: you've talked about it many times. It's not just the sacks, 135 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: it's forcing arrant throws, and they're able to do that. 136 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they had a good day yesterday, a great day. Actually, 137 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: you hold up an opponent to seventeen and get five takeaways, 138 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: and you know, four from the defense, one from special teams, 139 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: you totally expect to win. Yeah, you do. And you 140 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: know in that instance that you just gave in terms 141 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: of you know, I like the pressures over the sex 142 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: most times because they leave to turnover. Sax are great 143 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: momentum place, they're grateful momentum. They're great for feeding off 144 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: energy and getting a team fired up. But if you 145 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: can just harass a quarterback, make him throw off rhythm, 146 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: make him throw off off off his launching point, get him, 147 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: get him moving around a little bit, or he's trying 148 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: to do too much and lodge his one because of 149 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: the pressure. Nine times I attendue, you're gonna have something 150 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: happen that's good for the defense. And uh, and so 151 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: I just believe they did that yesterday. They got to 152 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: Porset a couple of times, and uh, and they forced 153 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: turnovers along the way. It's just unfortunate that that the 154 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: offense who had n't able to capitalize and at least 155 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: stick stick the ball in. There were times that they 156 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: got at point blank range and got turned away where 157 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: there should have been should have been more than three 158 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: points going on the board. Yeah, no doubt. And it's 159 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: interesting because at least one of the sacks I remember 160 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: did knock them out of field goal range, which was 161 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the one time when you're like, 162 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: hey man, I'll take the sack here. Well, you take 163 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: a sack anytime, but when a sack knock him out 164 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: of field goal range, thinking wow, okay, But there were 165 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: just too many of those opportunities dre where offensively there, 166 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: they didn't create a lot of opportunities, but the ones 167 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: that they did create, and there were two them that 168 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: stood out to me, and I want to get your 169 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: your level of impact on these. Number one was the 170 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: Connolly drop going across the middle against man coverage early 171 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: in the game. And then there was Tyrod missing a 172 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: Mandola up the sideline on the RPO where Amadola is 173 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: wide open. What do you think your level of impact 174 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: was of those two plays in particular? Well, they were 175 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: huge from a momentum standpoint. People always say, ah, the 176 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: game is momentum. Yeah, there's plenty of it when you 177 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: get going and you start to execute plays in succession. 178 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: And so when you have things going and then you 179 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: have two plays like you just you just described, I 180 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: don't even go further. I'll add a third one, the 181 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: Amndola trick play pass that he had Brandon Cooks, if 182 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: he just waits another step, he's gonna have him in 183 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: the end zone. And he throws a little bit early, 184 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: and then yeah, just and he throws it early and 185 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: wide right. Those are those are plays that you can't 186 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: get back. You hope that you can overcome them because 187 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: they do so much damage during a game. And then 188 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: that we just talked about a bunch of pressure. When 189 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: you have that happen, now here comes the pressure again 190 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: to to have to perform and deliver this very next 191 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: down or something later on within a game. And you 192 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: can't really get that one out of your mind. It's 193 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. Uh, those types of things have to stop happening. 194 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: If if this thing's gonna get turned around, well, tre 195 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: let's talk about Tennessee for a moment. They were in 196 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: La last night taking out a Rams team that was 197 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: looking pretty good. We saw them last week. Gosh, they 198 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: look good, but all of a sudden, problems Tennessee's defense 199 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: really steps up. Maybe Stafford didn't have his best stuff, 200 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: and without Derek Henry they come away with a dominating victory. 201 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: They are on a roll right now and the top 202 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: team currently in the AFC. Things can change, of course, yeah, 203 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: it can change in a stinger snap, because you remember, 204 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: I think a week or two ago, we were talking 205 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: about the Cincinnati Bengals having the number one seed in 206 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: the AFC, and look how fast that thing's changed, and 207 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: they're reeling trying to get to get their their wheels 208 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: back on their on their car, so to speak. But 209 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, I just think Tennessee's kind of built to 210 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: last even without Derrick Henry. The defense has been coming 211 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: for weeks, and I think we got a chance to 212 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: see that yesterday against the Rams. Offensively, they kind of 213 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: proved that they're a little bit more than just Derek Henry. Now, 214 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: obviously he is an MVP type talent that adds a 215 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: significant amount of juice to their offense, but they proved 216 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: yesterday against a super Bowl caliber team in the Rams, 217 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: that they can get it done without their house. So 218 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: it's scary. I don't know that it's Tennessee for me 219 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,479 Speaker 1: right now. Out of the AFC. I think it's Baltimore 220 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: that's the horse I would saddle up and ride right now, 221 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: because of all the close games that they've won this year, 222 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: and they have the X factor, which wears number eight 223 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: that seems to just be a magician this year and 224 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: the way he's playing. Eleven teams in the AFC, eleven 225 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: are five hundred or better. Eleven now I would say 226 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: Scott wins are more, but the Steelers play to unite. 227 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: The Steelers are four and three, so Steelers play the 228 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: Bears n If they win, they go to five wins. 229 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: The entire AFC West has five wins five and three, 230 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: five and three, five and four, five and four the 231 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: AFC North. If Pittsburgh wins tonight six and two, five 232 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: and three, five and four, five and four, I mean, 233 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: you're in last place at five and four and that's 234 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and dre Where would you throw 235 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs into the mix in the FC. I know 236 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: they didn't look great, but they did shut out Jordan 237 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: Love and the Packers yesterday well, helping the seven. Yeah, 238 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: I was. I was having a conversation about the Chiefs 239 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: the other day, and I just think that the reason 240 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: why the Patriots, and just stay with me for a second, 241 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: the reason why the Patriots were good for so long. 242 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: They had a guy that was willing to take less 243 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: money so that everybody else could get paid. You could 244 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: keep a team around him in Tom Brady, and that 245 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: went on for twenty years. When you broke off that 246 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: check to Patrick Mahomes and they congratulations, But now you're 247 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: going to suffer somewhere. Offensive line, defense, running game, they 248 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: had all start receivers, they had all start you gotta 249 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: take away somewhere. When you pay a guy that you know, 250 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: you give them that on the contract. And I think 251 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: it's finally it's starting to catch up with the Kansas 252 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. They are not head and heels above everybody 253 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: else in the AFC, certainly not in the NFL, and 254 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: I think I'm just I think they're going to continue 255 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: to struggle throughout the See, he is a magnificent talent, 256 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: but the pieces around him. You take away Kelsey in 257 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: a game and you're able to slow down Tarikia, then 258 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: you've got you're going because there's really nothing else for 259 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to do or to go to uh that 260 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: have proven it over a significant period of time, like 261 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: the two that I mentioned with Hill and Kelsey. So 262 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough there. And then if you can 263 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: run the football against Kansas City, you can certainly beat them. 264 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: Well the thing is, and let's go step further with 265 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots when Brady was there, two decades of dominance 266 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: and Brady not only takes less money, but who else 267 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: are they paying really guys? I mean, who else do 268 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: they hand out huge, huge contracts too? Had to take 269 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: care of Travis Kelce you know, they've got some some 270 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: guys that they've paid. I don't think Frank Clark's making 271 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: huge money, but he's making nice money. So it's big money. 272 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: It's it's big money, so you know you want those guys. 273 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: But then it hurts you when you're trying to bring 274 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: in the rest of the middle class. So to speak 275 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: well to that end you when when you have your 276 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: best player. I used to hear this about the Cowboys 277 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: back when Roger Staubach was with the Cowboys, and Roger 278 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: was apparently under that same kind of situation with the 279 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys way way back in the day. And the thought 280 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: was the Cowboys could always say our best player makes X, 281 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: you ain't making more than him. So if you're in 282 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: New England and you're say Richard Seymour or whomever, and 283 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: they're like, Brady makes twenty million a year, you aren't 284 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: about to make eleven or whatever whatever the case is, 285 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: and players are like, oh okay, I mean that might 286 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: be part of it too, Dre, is that you have 287 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: that sort of situation whereas you know, hey, Pac got his, 288 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get mine too. Then that just tears 289 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: the fact. But you can't miss when you give up 290 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: first rounders and then you pay a guy and that 291 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: guy's a dud like Frank Clark Kiss that's a kill. Yeah, 292 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: you took the words right out of my mouth. Is 293 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: that when those guys get ready to leave and you 294 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: trade them like New England, did, you gotta hit on 295 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: the draft picks or the players that you're getting for them. 296 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: And for so many years, Coach Belichick's been able to 297 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: do that, and so that's why they were every year 298 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: they compared. I mean, look at him. Now, they're five 299 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: and four with a rookie quarterback starting almost a brand 300 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: new roster and uh, and yet they're in the thick 301 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: of things right now after you know, two years after 302 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: Brady's departure and essentially starting it over hitting the reset button. 303 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: So he's got it. He knows how to get it 304 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: done and uh and he's been doing it for a 305 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: very long time. It's it's impressive to watch. Okay, everyone's 306 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: talking about Tennessee, but what about Arizona with cult mccoord, 307 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: No Murray so Texas legend cult McCoury. Well he is 308 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: little Murray worships the guy and now we see even 309 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: more why in that offense. He looked really good. You 310 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: know what people forget Colp McCoy can move around At Texas, 311 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: he ran too. He could throw it, but he could 312 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: run it. And he's got he's a good athlete, Trey, 313 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: and they looked really good yesterday and beating San Francisco. 314 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: I just like Colt McCoy's demeanor, guys. I mean, he 315 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: is no matter what's going on, you wouldn't know that 316 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: he's rattled. And that's that's the characteristic, the one characteristic 317 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: of a quarterback I think you have to have. And 318 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: he's got it. Whether he can play or not, you 319 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: don't know it, uh, by his by his body language, 320 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: and you know, I think you know when you when 321 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: you look at it. His teammates respect that they go 322 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: to battle for him, and they knew they were shorthanded 323 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: without without d Hop yesterday and Kyler Murray obviously, and 324 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that Aj Green played in that game 325 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: yesterday that he was without without him. But what it 326 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: shows you is just the depth. And when we were there, 327 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: I kept talking about this, the depth of that team, 328 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: as you know, on a on a full scale where 329 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: they can go to Christian Kirk and you know they 330 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: can draft a guy like Rondel Moore, who can who 331 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: can take over at times. James Connor comes in, he looks, Oh, 332 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: my goodness, looked like there's been a rebirth. I had 333 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: no idea James Connor had that kind of speed until 334 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: he broke away yesterday on a long screen pass. I mean, 335 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: nobody was catching him. So I think that all goes 336 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: into the environment that Cliff has has has put in 337 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: place there in Arizona that guys want to come there, 338 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: they want to play. Us now a destination spot where 339 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: guys are going to go. They're gonna be They're gonna 340 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: kill it in free agency going forward because they have 341 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: started to win and churn out wins. And when you 342 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: start to win games like they won yesterday, it's a 343 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: little bit easier to recruit guys in the offseason. Yeah, 344 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: James Connor was originally an edge rusher at Pitt before 345 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: they played it both ways in the bowl game and 346 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: they were like, hey, it's a pretty good too. Yeah, 347 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: he can he can actually do both. Dre, I want 348 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: to ask you about Odell Beckham Junior. Now, I would 349 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: imagine that as soon as that name has said, the 350 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: three of us all have different ideas of of who 351 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior is, what he is as a player, 352 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: all that kind of thing. But the locker room is 353 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: such a unique place. It's unlike anywhere else that you 354 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: can be And when you have a guy, whether Odell 355 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: is loved or hated or whatever the case might be, 356 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: in a locker room, you know it's a situation. You 357 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: know that it's an issue. Hey have you and did 358 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: you ever have a situation like that when you were 359 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: playing in the league? And be the fact that the 360 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: Browns went out and put forty plus on the Bengals yesterday, 361 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: does that show that maybe the offense is gonna be 362 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: okay without Odell, Maybe Baker is better without him. What 363 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: are your thoughts about that whole situation. Well, I think 364 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: it's proven that Baker is better without him. And when 365 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: you have a guy that you gotta get the ball too. 366 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: That's why I think teams are gonna pump the brakes 367 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: on bringing him in, whether or not, whether they can 368 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: or not, especially contenders, because you don't want to rock 369 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: the chemistry. We had a situation like that in Detroit 370 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: where we signed Pat's willing took a guy took Joe 371 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: Smith's number out of retirement so that Pats Willing could 372 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: wear it. And he didn't do anything for us, really, 373 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just being honest, and so got hurt 374 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: at at one point and had to shut it down, 375 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: and they went through the this whole ceremony of bringing 376 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: him bringing him to town. Anyway, long story short, when 377 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: you bring in players of that caliber, you run the 378 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: risk of ruining chemistry because if he was loud in 379 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: Cleveland and was getting paid well in Cleveland, he's now 380 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: taking a pay cut to come pay for you to 381 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: play for you. He's not gonna be quiet if you're 382 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: not giving him the ball. So you've got to alter 383 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: what you're doing to make sure that he's happy or 384 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: he's got you got him in your ear every other play, Hey, 385 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm open, get me the rock, this, that, and the other. 386 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: It alters the chemistry. Fans will say, hey, yeah, he's 387 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: a great talent, we should sign him, and then we're 388 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: off and running. There's I can't express the importance of chemistry, 389 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: especially in the game of football, and once you have 390 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: it established, you can't mess around with it. I would 391 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: dare not sin even if they could afford it. Odell 392 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior goes to the Arizona Cardinals and they load 393 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: up even Well, now you got problem because who's who's 394 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: getting the ball, the Hopper or Odell. You know, you 395 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,959 Speaker 1: got problems with that thing. And I think a lot 396 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: of teams are gonna balk it, bring him in, bringing 397 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: him in, especially at this point in the season. If 398 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: they are, they are playoff contenders. Boy. The other part 399 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: of this is the forty nine ers. Ouch, but that's 400 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: for another day. Dre is Alabama the second best team 401 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: in the country. Come on, pollsters, have some guts call it. 402 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: I know it is. I don't know that they are. 403 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I can remember a time where when the 404 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: season started and they were rolling and they were undefeated, 405 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: and everybody know it's Alabama and everybody else. Then they 406 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: get go to A and M and get beat and 407 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: then it's Georgia and everybody else. I'm not sure Georgia 408 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: can't be had, and I'm not sure that Alabama's they 409 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: They've proven that they're not, uh, you know, the elite 410 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: of the elite, like everybody had them at the beginning 411 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, it's just it's survival of the 412 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: fittest guys in a in a weird way where you've 413 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 1: got to get through the season healthy and on a 414 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: lot of levels, even if at this point guys are 415 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: playing but they're not completely a you know, one hundred 416 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: percent and that matters, and so on any given Saturday, 417 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: it could, it could happen. I thought, LSU, you gotta 418 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: tip your hat to LSU in the way they played, 419 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: because I you know they're going into that game. Nobody 420 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: gave him a chance to be as close as they were, 421 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: and they were one score away. Uh and and was 422 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: within striking distance of scoring and uh and didn't get 423 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: it done. But kudos to LSU guys, hurt. I think 424 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: it was eight defensive stars that were out of that 425 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: game and they still held Alabama to twenty one point 426 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: or twenty points. I don't think that they're the elite 427 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: of the elite. I think it could be anybody's year, 428 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: which is why I would like to see Cincinnati get 429 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: a shot in the playoff that they're not going to get. 430 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: I've said it, I've yelled from the mountain ye that 431 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: it's not in the cards. And the first rankings from 432 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: the Playoff committee come out and they're what sixth sixth 433 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: when in the AP their second it's crazy. And then 434 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: they have this close win and it's it's tough because like, 435 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: if they're not dominating everybody on their schedule, it looks bad, right, 436 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: But everybody on their schedule, they're gonna make their season 437 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: by beating Cincinnati. They're getting everybody's best game. Yeah, I 438 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: get them this weekend, number two Cincinnati in the AP 439 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: going to South Florida, and I guaran te you. South 440 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: Florida is gonna give it to him. They gave it 441 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: to you, of h and made you of h earn 442 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: it this past weekend, and they're gonna do the same 443 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: thing too to Cincinnati because they're the type of team 444 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: that can spread you out. They got a dynamic young 445 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: quarterback that can cause some problems and I could see 446 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: that being a three three and a half quarter game 447 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: easily if they don't turn the ball over and they 448 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: got a defense. There's a little bit nasty enough to 449 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: where they could give Desmond Ridder some some problems. And 450 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: so then once again they don't pass the eye test 451 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: to get the votes to get them closer to the player. 452 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. It's not designed to happen. 453 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: I can't say it enough, and I'm not sure that 454 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: the powers that be want me saying it. But it 455 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: was told to me that it's not designed for Group 456 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: five teams to get in the playoff. It's more evident 457 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: now than it ever has been to me. Dre, you 458 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: won a trophy, you're as a result, you are a 459 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: Heisman voter. I was gonna ask can a defensive player 460 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: win the Heisman? But I kind of know the answer 461 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: that it's I know the answer. How can will Junior 462 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: from Alabama win the Heisman? Just continue to go on 463 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: a tear like he's doing, and then you gotta and 464 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,479 Speaker 1: I think in order for a guy to win it 465 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: on the defense, yes, it can happen. It has happened, 466 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: but um, he's got to just be extraordinary because he's 467 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: not a guy that's influenced in the game on a 468 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: down by down basis, or having the ball in his 469 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: hands on a down by down basis, or you know, 470 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: people get get excited about statistics and the likes of it. 471 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: But if he were to continue on a tear like 472 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: he's been on and some guys in front of him 473 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: falter a little bit, that's where he can slide in 474 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: and get himself to New York. The guy, the kid 475 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: at the running Back, Walker the third at Michigan State 476 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: right now, though, is playing like a grown man. I 477 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: don't know about. I don't know that there's anybody even 478 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: in a loss. He went for one forty six and 479 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns the other day. So right now, 480 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: if if I think, if, if, if you were to 481 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: twist marm it forced me to vote and stay there 482 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: and stand there and watch me. That might be who 483 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: who I've casted for backup running back at Wake Forest 484 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: in twenty Wow. Wow, he is the man and see 485 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: reason why Michigan State is ranked where they are right now. 486 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: I absolutely love that dude. Kenneth Walker, the third of 487 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: Michigan State, My goodest love that man, Andrea Ware and 488 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: love me so.

Who was good to 506 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: see the General down in Miami. And by the way 507 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: we were, we were joking a little bit. To get 508 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: to our press booth, the press box, the booth in 509 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: the press box, we had to walk through essentially this club. 510 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: It's all end zone long from one end in the 511 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: end zone to the other. The width of the fields 512 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: like fifty five yards this club, so you had to 513 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: go through. This club is called Live Liv which Roman 514 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: numerous is fifty four which I think was the last 515 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: Super Bowl there. I think it was the one that 516 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs won. They call live. I had to go 517 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: after the game was over. I had to go through 518 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: there to get back down to talk to coach Culley 519 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: and Eric Murray after the game. You are press stuff 520 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: after the game. I'm rolling through there with my bags, 521 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: my travel bags, and it is a full on club scene. 522 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: It was absolutely crazy. Now, I didn't find the General 523 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: in there, but it looked like it was a pretty 524 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: cool place to watch a game, that's for sure. But 525 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: I know if the General knew about it, he probably 526 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: would go in there, get him a glass of water, 527 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: and then talk football with us like he did today. 528 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: Do your thoughts a day later after what you saw yesterday. Offense, defense, 529 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: all of it. Well, the Jacksons are a half game 530 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: out of the first pick in the draft behind Detroit, 531 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: which was idle. They both have a losing streaks. It's 532 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: too bad they can't play each other. And the thing 533 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: that to me was the encouraging part yesterday was a 534 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: performance of the defense, especially the line. They played eight linemen. 535 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: Everyone registers statistically the lineman dominated that game. Linebackers and 536 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: dv's played well too, But the line led by Jordan 537 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: Jenkins and MALIEK Collins. That was their best performance. They 538 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: were dominant against the run, and they got after Jacobe Brisette. 539 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: And I thought it was funny Jenkins. I think it 540 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: was Jenkins talking about how hard Brisette was to get 541 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: down because he's so stout. He said, he was the 542 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: one who took me on a tour when I visited 543 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: the college. And he was a little heavier now than 544 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: he was then. And and you know I wrote before 545 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: the game when we found out about two a ton 546 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: of Iloa not playing, I said, that's not good news. Texans. 547 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: They got to play the Texans killer and Jacobe Present 548 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: is now five and one against them with victories with 549 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: three teams. Although he didn't do anything to win this game. 550 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: You know, he should have lost this game. But it's 551 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: amazing the disparity between the performance of the offense and 552 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: the defense. And what made to me the offense even 553 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: more discouraging was the Dolphins were thirty second in defense, 554 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: thirty one against the past and yet they just got 555 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: consistent pressure on Tyrod Taylor, whether it was from their 556 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: lineman or blitzes coming off the edge. That David Culley 557 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: said they practiced that, but it was just terrible. I 558 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: don't think anybody anticipated Tyrod Taylor playing like that. I 559 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: was after a slow start, I thought, well, he'll play 560 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: better than the second half. Now he's got some playing 561 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: time for the first time since the second quarter of 562 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: the second game. And that stat where they don't have 563 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: a touchdown since the Cleveland game on September nineteenth on 564 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: the road, that's pretty amazing. John, you talked about the 565 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: two Jacoby thing. I know that we don't cover the Dolphins, 566 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: but that felt really really strange and weird. It was 567 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: almost like the Dolphins woke up on Sunday and we 568 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: wait a second, Jacoby's four and one against the Texans, 569 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: maybe we should start him. It felt really really strange 570 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: that two wouldn't play in that game. Well, they Brian 571 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: Flores explained it about his finger and what he could 572 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: grip and couldn't. They had him for emergency situation. I 573 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: don't think for a second they played Brazil because he 574 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: had played well against the Texans a couple of times 575 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,239 Speaker 1: he beat him, and he didn't do squat like in 576 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: this game. You know that wasn't because of him. It 577 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: wasn't because of their offense. It was because of their defense, 578 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: and you know they've got to they ain't had to 579 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: look to a tongue of Abouloa as much as they 580 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: can over the rest of the season because they're going 581 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: to be in pursuit to Shaun Watson before the draft, 582 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 1: to same as he gets his lawsuits settled. And I 583 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: tweeted a picture about halfway through the first quarter. You 584 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: guys saw how many empty seats there were, and I 585 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,479 Speaker 1: shot a picture and I said, this is one reason 586 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: the owner, Stephen ross It, wants to Seaun Watson because 587 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, they're just they're not drawing. And that's the 588 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: first time I've been in their stadium since they spent 589 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty million to renovate it. And they 590 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: did a great job. Of course, the weather was fabulous, 591 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: and I was really surprised they had that many people 592 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: there for one and two one in sevent teams and 593 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I was eager to see talking 594 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: about lot of play. I've never seen him play in person, 595 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: and he's struggling and he's been hurt every year he's 596 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: played football, he's been injured. And that's one reason you 597 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: know they're looking for somebody else. They won't say it, 598 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: but you know, if you can't count on him weekend 599 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: and week yeah, you better find somebody you can't. John, 600 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: you mentioned that Taylor obviously first half didn't go well, 601 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: maybe the second half would go better. It didn't. What 602 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: do you think moving forward here? Because I think the 603 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: feeling is that, yeah, more practice, get them in rhythm, 604 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: keep them in there for a while. But you also 605 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: still want to see Mills at some point, probably before 606 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: the end of the regular season. How do you think 607 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: they handle all this? We asked Cully about it, and 608 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: he said, when you got our record, you evaluate everything. 609 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: They're going to evaluate everything, including themselves and evaluate the players. 610 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: And we asked about Mills. But I don't see any 611 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: way that go back to Mills coming out of the 612 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: bye week to play at Tennessee, which pulled off a 613 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: huge upset last night. Now as home field advantage in 614 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: the AFC, I don't see that. As bad as they've 615 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: been on the road, I see them sticking with Tyrode 616 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: another game. You know, they've got one touchdown past and 617 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: ten or eptions in five road games, and so I 618 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: just don't Mills has played teams that last week had 619 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: a combined record of thirty and seventeen, and I thought, sure, 620 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: they beat up on the Dolphins defense. I thought they'd 621 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: lose the game. I picked him lose twenty eight twenty. 622 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: But I just don't think they're going to go back 623 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: to Mills after giving Tyrod one game. I think the 624 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: bye week will do him good. Is do everybody good. 625 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: It comes at a great time, you know, nine games 626 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: in eight games left, but I expect Taylor to play Tennessee. 627 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: There's a good chance that's not going to go well. 628 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: Then I could see them going back to Mills. I believe, 629 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: and I've said those all along, guys. I think they'll 630 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: go back to Mills regardless, maybe for the last four games, 631 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: and after this Tennessee game, they get three in a 632 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: row at home, including a big showdown against the Jets. 633 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: I hope Zach Wilson's back then, so we could see 634 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and Davis Mills. And then remember they got 635 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: they still have to Trevor Lawrence. Can they have to 636 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: play probably Trey Lance in the last road game of 637 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: the season. Forty nine Ers just got beat up bad 638 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo, and the Texans should pay close attention 639 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers and want them to lose 640 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: because they had Miami has San Francisco's first pick. Miami's 641 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: first pick belongs to Philadelphia. Philadelphia, if Carson Wentz keeps playing, 642 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: is gonna have three number one picks. All three teams 643 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: have losing records. And there's a push by the media 644 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis that if it comes down to the end 645 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: of the season, bench him. If you're not going on 646 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs, so you don't give up a one, you 647 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: give up a two and keep your one. And that's 648 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see how that plays out 649 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: with general manager Chris Ballard and coach Frank Wrych, because 650 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: you know they'd like to not give up a number one. 651 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: But the Eagles are in great shape. And guess what 652 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: team was interested in deshaun Us and the Eagles he 653 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: rejected them with another Drake clause. You know, maybe he'll 654 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: change his mind. I thought maybe two of would play 655 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: really well the rest of the season in the Dolphins. 656 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: So you know what we did. We'd made the right 657 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: call making him the fifth overall pick last year. We're 658 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: gonna stick with him. But I can't find anybody that 659 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: I talked to with the Dolphins that thinks they believe 660 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,919 Speaker 1: to a ton of ilo as a franchise quarterback. John, 661 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: you mentioned it yesterday in North Florida, Duval County, the 662 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars somehow, some way beat the Buffalo Bills in 663 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: nine to six, and just when it feels like throw 664 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: more dirt on Irban Meyer, he is dead done and 665 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: come back from London they lose and see how thirty 666 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: one to seven it's over. It's they win nine to six, John, 667 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain. It's kind of like 668 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: Tyrod's interception at the end of the first half. I 669 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 1: don't know how to explain it at all. That Urban Meyern, 670 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: the Jags gotta win. But Irban Myron to Jack got 671 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: a win over Buffalo your thoughts without scoring a touchdown, 672 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: and they're trumpeting it in Jacksonville as our Josh Allen 673 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: was better than their Josh Allen defensive end Josh Allen 674 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: at sack an interception of force bumble the Bills. Josh 675 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: Allen had no touchdowns, couple of interceptions, and it's just 676 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: inexplicable that Josh Allen would play that bad. They shut 677 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: down the run and and so you know, the Texans 678 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: now in the last place in the division, and they 679 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: still go over there. But and Trevor Lawrence had to 680 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: be helped off with an ankle injury. People freaked out, 681 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: of course, and then he went in for an x 682 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: ray and they were negative. So he came back out 683 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: and played and he didn't. Throse New squatting through for 684 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: like one hundred and eighteen yards. James Robinson didn't play 685 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: in the game. They're leading rusher Carlos Hide and their 686 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: field goal kicker Michael Wright missed three field goals in 687 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: the third quarter, but he kept the game winner in 688 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: the fourth. It was ugly, but boy, they won't have 689 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: a better win than that one unless they somehow upset 690 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: the Titans. But hey, I'm happy for the Jaguars. They've 691 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: been the dregs of the NFL for so long. And 692 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: I know Texans fans and see that they go it. 693 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: They can do it. Why can't we do it? And 694 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: everybody that calls me or emails me or I'm on 695 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: the shows with I say, God, you're unhappy. Now you're 696 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: going to be a whole lot more excited. In April, 697 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: during the draft, yes, but what about next year? That 698 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: was a rhetorical question. We'll see how that goes when 699 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,879 Speaker 1: we get to it. General. One more for you. What's 700 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: really heartbreaking to me is all the years we had 701 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: these juggernauts in the AFC, the Patriots, the Colts, the Chiefs. 702 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: This year it looks so wide open because it's who's 703 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: the darling this week? The Bengals a couple of weeks ago, 704 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: top seat of the AFC. Wait a minute, and then 705 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: the Browns were looking good then not now looking really 706 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: good again. Well, at least yesterday they looked pretty good 707 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: beating the Bengals. But the Tight are the darlings having 708 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 1: beaten the Rams. I think the Titans really have something 709 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: going on here when you look at that streak they 710 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: have against all these good teams that were playoff teams 711 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: last year. Your thoughts on the AFC at the top, 712 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: Titans have won four in a row. They are the 713 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: fourth team in fifteen years to mat teams that went four. 714 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure they've won five in a row. The last 715 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: four were playoff teams last year. That's happened four times 716 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 1: in fifteen years now, and the first three to one. 717 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: Four in a row over previous playoff teams went to 718 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in two one. I hate to admit it, 719 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 1: but the General's right. The Titans are good. We're gonna 720 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: go round in the league next and talking about a 721 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: team that record is good but things are not well 722 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. That's next on Texans All Access X 723 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: on Texans All Access exens.

I'm your host, John Harris, Football 749 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: and a sideline reporter. Last week, I mean, there have 750 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: been some really tragic situations that we've seen. Obviously, we 751 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: have the situation that happened at near NRG Stadium with 752 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: the astral World Festival, and such a sad thing, and 753 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers go out to everybody involved in 754 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: that situation. Loss of life is just so disheartening and sad, 755 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: and our thoughts go out to everybody involved in that situation. 756 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: Our players and coaches made comments at the podiums yesterday 757 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: when they were talking after the game, and it's just 758 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: such a shame we out in Las Vegas. There have 759 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 1: been tragic situations with a former twenty first round pick, 760 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: and that was Henry driving one hundred and fifty six 761 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: miles an hour while intoxicated, ended up colliding with a 762 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: woman and a child killed them both. Ruggs was then 763 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: released from the Raiders. Well, today news came down that 764 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: the second first round pick for the Raiders in twenty 765 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: twenty was Damon Arnett, Ohio state corner, very confident, boisterous, 766 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: somewhat loud. It was drafted in twenty twenty and had 767 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 1: a lot of struggles. There were already there was already 768 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: talked about him not playing well, being in John Gruden's doghouse. Well, 769 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: he is no longer a Raider. Why Well, he took 770 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: the social media and decided to film himself threatening someone 771 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: with about five or six different guns. Now, the level 772 00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: of stupidity in that I can't even comprehend. But the 773 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: Raiders Mike Mayock spoke to the Las Vegas media today 774 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 1: and said we did more work on Damon Arnette because 775 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: he had some missions in Ohio State, and he said, 776 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: I take full responsibility for that, and I hate that 777 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: from Mike Mayock. And that's one of the things that 778 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,439 Speaker 1: bothers me. There are a lot of scouts out there, 779 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of gms that stick their necks out for players, 780 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: and the players responded, do this just absolutely deplorable. So 781 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: what's left of that twenty twenty draft class virtually nothing 782 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: Because the third round picked ten Or Muse, he was 783 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,240 Speaker 1: already released, the third round picking at draft lym Bowden 784 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: was traded before the season even started. It's just a 785 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: mess what John grew left behind there in Las Vegas. 786 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: And hopefully Mayok and Rich Besacchi could get that thing 787 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: cleaned up very soon. All Right, big thanks to John McClain, 788 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: to Andre Ware, to Mark Vanimer, of course, to all 789 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: of you for listen. Thank you so much. We'll see 790 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: you next time. It has always go Texans.
