1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Here's the snap looking tusta ball diving for the pilot

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: that he's got it. Razzle dazzle, touchdown, the coustas and

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: the Texans go in front. Game day. He's every day.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. Five nights a week,

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: they hits, keep on coming, calls out. The Texans say

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: they have it and they do no. It's Texans All Excess,

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,440

Speaker 1: to have your board as we preview Sunday, take a

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: look at what the Texans are going to do against

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers and all the other action and information and

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: news around the national football and beyond in football. Okay,

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: let's go to the General. Now, Hello, General, how are

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: you doing today? I'm doing great, guys, how are you?

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: You know we're doing well we're getting I can't speak

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: for Johnny, Johnny, I apologize, I was speaking for you.

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Are you doing okay? Doing okay? Just hopefully my back

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: gets better. But we're getting there. We're getting there and

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: excited for Sunday already. All right, we are excited for Sunday.

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be huge. It's John How would you classify

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: this game, John McClain. It's not a must win? Really.

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: I mean, they were owing three three two years ago,

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: the one nine in a row. You can't expect to

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: do that again. But how would you classify the urgency

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: of this particular contest on Sunday? Well, first of all,

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a must win early in

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: the season because it's not what you do in September

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: and October, but November and December. Texans are right where

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: I picked him in August, start and three. I believe

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: they'll lose this game, my game. It'll be closer than

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: it was against Kansas City in Baltimore, because those to

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: me are my two, number one and number two teams

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Green Bay's number three. The key is

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: the defense looked better last week, better pass rush, four sacks,

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson White had two. The running game was good

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: for three quarters. Then they gave up five running plays

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of at least ten yards and

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: gave up one hundred and fifty three yards. But the

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: pass rush was better. They don't have to chase Lamar Jackson.

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: They've got Big Ben. Big Ben doesn't run like he

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: is too. He stays in the pocket more, and so

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I would think the pass rush has got a chance

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: to be good. At the past. Defense is number three

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: in the league one hundred and ninety yards, and people go, well,

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: why wouldn't it be good considering people are running all

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: over them, whether giving up one hundred yards rushing, But

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: you still went against Mahome and Saint Jackson who had

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: four touchdowns after they had seven against him in regular

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: season last year. So they're preventing the deep ball. They're

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: not getting beat for big plays. Holding Mark Andrews to

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: one catch was a big deal. And you know in

57
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: that game last week, two things were crucial. The fourth

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: and one call. They got blitzed. They blew it touchdown,

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: kikiqt catch fumble touchdown. Those two things were catastrophic created

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: by them. And until they started making plays like that,

61
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: and not turn it over in a situation for a

62
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: short field. They're going to struggle. But if they don't,

63
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: just don't make the mistakes. You don't have to make

64
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: great plays, just don't give rapid game to a team

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: like Kansas City in Baltimore. And one thing, I know, Mark,

66
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: you'll love the stat because I know how you like

67
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: positive stats writing a column tomorrow. Big Band is four

68
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: and one against the Texans two and I since O'Brien

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,279
Speaker 1: took over, he's completed sixty seven point seven percent, eight touchdowns,

70
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: one interceptions, eleven sacks, and his rating is one hundred

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: eleven point nine. And you know the victory was here.

72
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: The Jackson's defense and Levin held him to ten points

73
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: and they beat roethlis Burger. He had a sixty one

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: rating in that game. So they've got to do something

75
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: to try to try to force him to make mistakes.

76
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Are they capable of doing it? They gave us a

77
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: flash against the Ravens. John the Denver Broncos would like

78
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: a word with you when you said that Big Ben

79
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: doesn't run much, because he took off on a run

80
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: in that game against the Broncos and it did take

81
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: him a little while to get rolling. It looked like

82
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: a big tank going down the field. But man, he

83
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: can pull it out of He can pull that that

84
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: club out of his bag of tricks at certain points,

85
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: which is kind of interesting from that point, John, this

86
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: Texans offense, we've seed it now for two games. Is

87
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: there what's the one thing you're I was disappointed in.

88
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: What's the one thing that has surprised you a little

89
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: bit about this offense? I'm most disappointed. First of all,

90
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger doesn't like to run, and as Anthony Weaver called it,

91
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: he will run and got to have it situations. But

92
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: for the most part, they know where he's going to be.

93
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: And so I think the passing game has not worked

94
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: like it should have two touchdowns and two games as

95
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: two teams Seattle in Green Bay have scored ten touchdowns

96
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: and two games. And I'm not saying Nation scored ten

97
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: against Kansas City Baltimore. I just thought the offense would

98
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: be more consistent if they look more big plays. And

99
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: I understand two new receivers and Brandon Cooks and Randall

100
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Cobb and David Johnson who also figures into the passing game.

101
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: Three new guys, and I'm most disappointed in the offensive line.

102
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: I thought it would be better. Kansas City's defense is good,

103
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: Baltimo Moors is real good, but I just thought the

104
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: line would play better. And maybe that's an off sheet

105
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: of not having an off season program a training camp

106
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: and not really being able to hit anybody consistently. But

107
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: it's got to play better, and it's got to start

108
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: in Nix's game. Larmy Johnson's playing really well, but Max Sharpy,

109
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: even Nick Martin, Zach Fulton, ty So Howard played better

110
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: in the second game in the first. These guys are

111
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: where it all starts. And right now, Sean Watson has

112
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: tied for the most sacks with Carson Wentz eight going

113
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: up against the team that has ten sacks, second in

114
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: the league and last year led the league with fifty four.

115
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: John I was really encouraged by seeing what Brandy Cooks

116
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: and Randall Cobb did against the Ravens. And I know

117
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: that there's a much higher ceiling for those guys, but

118
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: it was good to see them getting going. However, Will

119
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: Fuller not playing, you know, yeah, Fuller having one hundred

120
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: plus in the opener and then not really doing much

121
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: in the second game. I know he was playing, but

122
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: we all know he got banged up. So what are

123
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that receiving crew, because they've got to

124
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: fight a way to get some continuity, some consistency in

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: the production, and it's just been difficult so far, albeit

126
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: against good teams. You said Fuller didn't didn't do much.

127
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. He didn't do squat. He

128
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: didn't even have a target. He needs to bounce back

129
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: and play the way he did in that first game.

130
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Because you trade Hopkins, that's one thing Fuller is supposed

131
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: to step up and make plays. Cook Cooks was the

132
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: most encouraging thing. Jordan Nakins continues to get better. O'mrian's

133
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: playing Kelly. You're playing a lot of two tight end formations.

134
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: He played over eighty percent of fells over Pardy sail.

135
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: Of course, fells go to receiver. And they had a

136
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: touchdown at nine last year eight last year counting the

137
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: playoff game. They got the offensive line. It starts with them.

138
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: They got a run block better. They have to be

139
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: able to run. If you're not going to run a

140
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: lot like Kansas City, you need to run it well.

141
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Like they did in Kansas City. They did not run

142
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: it a lot, and they did not run it well

143
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. On a guy on defense, that's really

144
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: been a surprise because when the Texas started training camp

145
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't even a part of this team. But the

146
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Texans claimed PJ. Hall on waivers and then got him

147
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: in shape over the next week or so, and each

148
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: and every day he started doing a little bit more,

149
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more, a little bit more. What have

150
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: you seen from PJ Hall on defense? That does give

151
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: you some positivity moving forward and give you some encouragement

152
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: that maybe this defensive front can get better each and

153
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: every week. I liked it. They started him and blazed it.

154
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Charles man who excuse me, the man who didn't do

155
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: anything in that first game and they started all he

156
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: played more. Bill O'Brien said he was disrupted, considering Hall

157
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: showed up out of shape and not in good condition

158
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: and overweight. Month he has made a really good turnaround,

159
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: played writing in those tackle and defensive tackle in passing situations.

160
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: What played sixty eight percent of the snaps, the fewest

161
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: since his rookie year, according to Sean Pendergast, and he

162
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: had told us he had a growing issue and if

163
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: playing less helped him get more sacks. Maybe they ought

164
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: to think of playing him less and seeing if seeing

165
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: what those results are. But the problem with the front

166
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: seven is they've got to be better against the run

167
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: for four quarters, not just three quarters. Of course, that

168
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with the fact they were behind,

169
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: But I did see some flashes of things that made

170
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: me think they're capable of beating the Steelers that last

171
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: game up to remember O'Brien's the last time they played

172
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: up there. They all speak the Steelers then, and Pittsburgh

173
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: was better then than it is now. The Steelers struggled

174
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: to beat the Giants and the Broncos and Jeff driscoll.

175
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: So the Texans got a chance if they could stun

176
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: people and winning game up there, come back here against Minnesota,

177
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: which is struggling like they are. And I don't care

178
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: if the Vikings are three and oh, I just feel

179
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: picked the Texans to beat them. If they were two

180
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: and two, they feel really good. Yeah, they would w

181
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: and I's bounce back after this start. General, were you

182
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: at the two thousand and two game where the Texans

183
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: scored three touchdowns on defense and one at Pittsburgh. No,

184
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: I didn't cover the Texans the first three years because

185
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: I knew they were going to struggle and I didn't

186
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: want to cover a loser. And I covered some of

187
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: the games like that Green Bay game here when I

188
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: was sure they're gonna win and finish eight and eight.

189
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: They got I'm sorry Cleveland when he got hammered in

190
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: the last game. So what I was doing then, Mark

191
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: and john I had a great job. I went all

192
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: over the country every Sunday, and what I did, I

193
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: did not sit in my seat. I sat in front

194
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: of a bank of TVs, and the PR people for

195
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: the team where I went. They would put the Texans

196
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: and the game I was covering, and then the Titans

197
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: those three games right there where I could watch them.

198
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: So I watched that game, which is still, I believe,

199
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: the strangest game I've seen college or pros. And so

200
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: I could remember watching football in nineteen sixty. Yeah, Johnny

201
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: and I both wrote about that game this week and

202
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: the fact that you get out gained by almost four

203
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards, and I mean, it's just ridiculous, and you

204
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: had three completions in the game, all to Billy Miller.

205
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn almost had as many completions as Billy Miller,

206
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: and he had interceptions, two of them returned for scores,

207
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: and they were long returns sixty five seventy yards for

208
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: the picks and a forty yard fumble return. It wasn't like,

209
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, pick six from the opponent ten yard line.

210
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: It was a bizarre game. Will never see anything like

211
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: it again. Bill Kawer says he is still haunted about

212
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: that game. Still can't figure out what happened. I don't

213
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: think anybody can. Yeah, nobody's gonna be able to explain

214
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: forty seven total offense, forty seven yards of total offense

215
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: to four hundred and eleven and you lost in Pittsburgh

216
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: scores in Pittsburgh. That's amazing to think about. John. We've

217
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: now seen the Chiefs and the Ravens. They will meet

218
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: Monday night. Your gut tells you which team is better?

219
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: And why Baltimore and I say that just because Kansas

220
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: City struggled to win in overtime against a rookie quarterback

221
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Forceton to the lineup, because Tyrod Taylor got a bad shot,

222
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: and maybe Justin Herbert, who looked good, didn't have time

223
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: to think to be scared or nervous now that he

224
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: knows he's starting this second game, maybe he won't play

225
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: as well, But the Chiefs struggle to win that. And

226
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: I think right now, the ras even though I kept

227
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs number one in my rankings, I think the

228
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: Ravens are the best team in football. All right, That

229
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: punctured story is bizarre. I mean that that doctor you

230
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: want to get away. He cannot be feeling too good

231
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: about what happened. Tyrod Taylor, Oh my gosh, so yeah,

232
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: that's awful. Right generally, you mentioned the Vikings who are

233
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: here next week in the in the next home game,

234
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: and hopefully we get fans in there for that. What's

235
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: going on with Gary Kubiak, because stuff is starting to

236
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: get written about this Minnesota offense not being exactly what

237
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: they pictured because I think we all figured one. Once

238
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: Gary takes over of that offense, they're gonna explode. You

239
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: got Dalvin Cook, you got Kirk Cousins. With the Kubiak tootelage,

240
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: it's all gonna work out swimmingly. So far not so good,

241
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: but a long way to go. Well, Like traded Stefan Diggs,

242
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: and so it looks like and we've talked about this before.

243
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Not only do players need a preseason in otash with coaches,

244
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: especially when you're calling played for the first time like him,

245
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: Kelly Anthony Weaver, Gary Kubiak, Now Gary courses called him

246
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: all his life, but the fact is he over. He

247
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: was an offensive consultant last year and Kevin Stefanski called

248
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: the plays, and so maybe they need to adjust. I'll

249
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: tell you one thing I didn't see in my brief

250
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: brief viewing. You didn't see Kark Cousins doing a lot

251
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: of bootlegs like we've always seen Kubiak's offense. Due Gary's

252
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: always had a good running game because that one cut

253
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: go when he's got cooked, I'll bet you their offense

254
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: plays a whole lot better. They just need time to adjust.

255
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: And I think Gary needs to adjust. And you know

256
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: he wants to do it this week and follow up

257
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: next week, and I'm gonna be writing to call him

258
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: about it. I don't I'm not looking this up. But

259
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: when's the last time a team had every one of

260
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: its head coaches in the building at the same time. Yeah,

261
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: that's ever happened. I don't think it can happen. I

262
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: don't think not, well it would I have to be

263
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: one of the young franchises. We don't know, if you know,

264
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: while Ron Rivera was coaching the Panthers, if they happen

265
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: to have John Fox, probably not. And Dom Capers in

266
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: the building, probably not. I mean, as I say this, Jacksonville,

267
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: where they have Tom Coughlin and Jack del Rio, you know,

268
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: and I doubt it. Gus Bradley, I doubt it. You're right, John,

269
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: this has not happened ever in the history of this league.

270
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty safe to say. And they've got

271
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: to get the photo without the masks please next week

272
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: of Dom Capers, Gary Kubiak and Bill O'Brien together. Yeah,

273
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: somebody will get that. Yeah, take those masks off. Three

274
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars photos that'd be better than the zapp

275
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Bruder photo. Yeah. John Mark mentioned the Jacksonville Jaguars just

276
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: as we kind of were going through there. They lose

277
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: last week to the Titans. But this offense has been

278
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: very good. This is something Mark warned all of us about.

279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: With Jay Gruden taken over the offensive coordinator, they've looked

280
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: a lot better. They've gotten contributions from viscous Channault, which

281
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: that's the guy wanted the Texans to draft Word. They

282
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: were at number forty. That all said. They take on

283
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins tonight in Duval County on a Thursday.

284
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: They get to win, they'll go to two and one

285
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Miami v. Jacksonville. Do you give the Dolphins a shot

286
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: to knock off the Jacks? Well, first of all, it's

287
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: the Mustache versus the Beard, and I'm pretty sure people

288
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville care. In Miami, I don't think they give

289
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: a rats, you know what, they only care about the

290
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: heat and the Celtics and the possibility of playing against

291
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Lebron in the finals until they put it to the

292
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: tongue of a lower in the people in Miami. I

293
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna care much. I think Jacksonville will win.

294
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: You know, the Mustache had twenty one touchdowns and I

295
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: think six interceptions last year, rating of ninety two. That

296
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Two of his worst games were against

297
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: the Texas. They couldn't score against the Texans, so he

298
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: looks good. He doesn't have dj Chart his favorite receiver tonight,

299
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: so I look for chanlt to have a big game.

300
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think they've given cht ball on some

301
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: reverses already trying to take advantage of this of his

302
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: overall athletic talent. But Jacksonville is not a pushover. They're

303
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: not tanking for Trevor. You know, they're trying to win.

304
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Don't roll a personnel now like Bill O'Brien did last year.

305
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: He's getting the people that he wants on his roster,

306
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: who are buying what he's selling, believe in the culture,

307
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: and they're dangerous. At the end of that Tennessee game,

308
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: he threw his second interception. Both of them were tipped,

309
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: and I never hold it against the quarterback when a

310
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: ball is tipped because those defensive lineman play technique now

311
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: to do that. But their offense was really good, and

312
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: they're capable of beating the Titans, the Texans, and the Cults. Jock.

313
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: The Cults handled their business last week against the Medicota

314
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: Akings and obviously lost against the Jaguars like you said,

315
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: and now they have the Jets. So somehow the schedule

316
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: makers were so nice to the Indianapolis Colts, and I

317
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: get it, they're playing they're not exactly playing the first

318
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: place schedule here, so you get a couple of so

319
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: called easier games because of that. But They're still gonna

320
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: play everybody else the AFC South is playing. So your

321
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on where they're at right now, especially well, not especially,

322
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: I think especially long term this weekend against the Jets.

323
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking that you believe this is going to

324
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: be a tough assignment for them, of course not. And

325
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: their defense is number one, It'll be number one after

326
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: they play the Jets because the Jets are awful. The

327
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: Jets could have a tough decision Trevor Lawrence, Sam Darnel

328
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: and so Indies should be two and one. If Rivers

329
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: does not hurt them with interceptions, they got a chance

330
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: to be good now. I picked him nineteen seven third

331
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 1: place before the season. Jonathan Taylor's emerged as a good substitute.

332
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: I think he's better than Marlon Mack and Max Dunne.

333
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: And Taylor is tough and he's durable. They've spread the

334
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: ball around. I think Rivers is still trying to adjust

335
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: to his receivers and his tight ends. He had a

336
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: tight end I've never heard of replace Jack Doyle and

337
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: have one hundred and eleven yards and that last victory

338
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: over Minnesota, So which gonna be another couple of weeks

339
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: before we find out if the Colts are for real?

340
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: What are Darren Fells Antonio Gates having common both played

341
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: basketball before they came to the NFL. And that's Moley Cox.

342
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: Moley Cox was a bruiser rebounder for VCU, never played

343
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: football or hadn't played football at all. He played for

344
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Shock Smart at VCU, and the Colts found him, drafted him,

345
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: and I think he's kind of bounced around practice squad

346
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: back to the regular squad, fifty three man roster, and

347
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: he's an athlete. There's no doubt. He made a hell

348
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: of a catch last year against the Raiders for a

349
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: touchdown one hand or that was just incredible. So yeah,

350
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: just another athlete is exactly what they needed. John, What

351
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: do you make of Atlanta? They blow one to Dallas.

352
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: Is dan Quinn's seat really really hot or do you

353
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: think that he is able with another couple with a

354
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: couple of wins to maybe get off the hot seat,

355
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: or do you think they're lost by Atlanta and that

356
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: seat gets really warm for him? They started bad last year,

357
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: Finnish strong because everybody likes dan Quinn, the media, the fans, players,

358
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: they gave him another chance. But I'm pretty sure, they

359
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: got to make the playoffs for him not to get fired.

360
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: Tampa's not great. New Orleans isn't great based on what

361
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: we've seen. And so they're averaging thirty two points a game.

362
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: They at least have one win, right, but they're only

363
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: given up thirty nine. And we know their hands team

364
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: has no brains. They brought them. They brought the hands out,

365
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: but no brains out. So they're playing the Bears or

366
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: two and oh, because the Bears haven't beat anybody. So

367
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: let's see if the Bears go to Atlanta and win.

368
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons will win it. John, the brains

369
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: hands thing is good. I just want you to know that.

370
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: I just I think, thank you. I think if Armand

371
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: Williams does not make that into a pro promo, I mean,

372
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care if it's about a cowboy win.

373
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: It's really not about a cowboy win. It's about in

374
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: Atlanta bots to play John, people like Dan Quinn. Do

375
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: they like Matt Patricia Because I'm wondering who's gonna be

376
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: first here among those two. And I don't want to

377
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: like to talk about people's jobs like that, but it

378
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: is the NFL, and these guys get paid a lot

379
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 1: of money. The Lions not having a good time of

380
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: it so far. You know, Jim Harbaugh's saying, who's got

381
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: it better than us? Nobody? Well, in Detroit, they're saying,

382
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: who likes Matt Patricia. Nobody. He's not long for the

383
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: coaching world. They've lost nine games when they've led in

384
00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He's another failed Bill Belichick protege. The

385
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: guys that Bill O'Brien is the only one that worked

386
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: for Belichick who's done well because as Bill told me

387
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: early on, he had other mentors and not just Bill.

388
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: While he learned a lot from Belichick, he wasn't doing

389
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: everything just because that's the way Belichick did it. And

390
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: that's guys like Matt Patricia and Joe Judge that's all

391
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: they know. And Patricia if nobody likes it, I mean,

392
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: he goes out of his way to be a jerk

393
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: to people. And when you do that and you struggle,

394
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: they're not going to get behind you like they did

395
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn last year. So I figure he'll get fired,

396
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: take a year off, or be a defensive consultant for

397
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots and then probably their coordinator in two years. Okay, John,

398
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: what do you have going out on the Chronicle. I'm

Speaker 1: on ABC thirteen. Yeah, like ten thirty five to be exact.

507
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: But actually there's nothing exact about it because there's a

508
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: game on Saturday night. That means that it's gonna be

509

510

Speaker 1: on the show many times, so have I. But Drew

512
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: doesn't let us do it too often because he wants

513
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: to dominate. And that's just the way he is. He's

514
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: one of those TV guys. What can I say? Yeah,

515
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it happens. I mean he's trying to spread

516
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: the wealth a little bit, so I you know, I

517
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, cool. Yeah, he wants to get other

518
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: guests on. He's sick of talking to us. I mean,

519
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: my gosh. For a while, it's like enough is enough?

520
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: Is enough? The brains team, But Johnny, we never talked

521
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: about the brains team for the Atlanta Falcons. I I

522
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: read it like this, the ball is rolling along and

523
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: you're like, I want to fall on it, but I

524
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: don't want to fumble it and fall on it. I'm

525
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: afraid I might not get it. And it's happening so

526
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: fast and slow. It's happening slowly in a football sense,

527
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: but it's quick in a normal course of thinking sense. Basically,

528
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: you gotta practice that. But I think they were so

529
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: stunned at how slow it was rolling. If it goes fast,

530
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: you're just drop it. It was slow, It's like, well,

531
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: wait a minute. It was almost like waiting for a

532
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: punt to drop dead, you know when they were letting

533
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: that thing roll, and it really disappointed me because I

534
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: enjoy watching the Cowboys lose. So that was a big blow.

535
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: Well here's there are two things that stood out to me,

536
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: and number one was the type of kick that Zerline

537
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: kicked and it was it was it was like a spinner. Yeah,

538
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: he spun it, and so that that thing is just

539
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: spinning and spinning no matter if it's kind of slowing

540
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: down or go. I mean, that's that's one thing. During

541
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: the off season, I watched a show on this thing

542
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: called Overtime and there's a high school coach in Arkansas.

543
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: His name is Kevin Kelly. He's at Plastic Academy and

544
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: he's the coach that, as it's known, he never punts

545
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: and he always on site kicks and he has like

546
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: four he has his kickers. He actually had a girl

547
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: kicker from the soccer team and he had her do

548
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: it was like three or four different types of kicks,

549
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: the high bounce, that spinner type kick. I can't remember

550
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: what he called. I think he called a helicopter. So

551
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: he had like three or four different types of on

552
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: site kicks that he would use and the one that

553
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: they typically recovered. I think in one of the games

554
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: they recovered three or four of them, like in a row,

555
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: and the team didn't see then the team didn't see

556
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: the ball for like a whole quarter and they were

557
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: up like forty two to nothing at the end of

558
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: the first quarters. It was ridiculous, but they kicked that,

559
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: And that always seemed to be the one that people

560
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: had the hardest time with because the high hop, I

561
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: think you can replicate that, but that spinner one was

562
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: really really hard for people to come up with. So

563
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: fast forward to the Cowboys and Falcons game with a

564
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: ball like that spinning out on a turf. The one

565
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: thing you would love to be able to have is

566
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: a baseball player or somebody that's played baseball. Oh that's right.

567
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons had a baseball player, Hayden her Urst,

568
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: right there to pick up the ground ball and he

569
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 1: just watched it. Yeah, And Nurst was drafted. He was drafted.

570
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: He was a heck of a pitcher coming out of

571
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: the Bowl school in Jacksonville, and I mean a great

572
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: pitcher and play other positions as well. That's the one

573
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: thing you want to have on your hands team are

574
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: are baseball players because they're used to those bad hops

575
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: and things. Yeah, and he just watched it and it

576
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: was just I watched it. Went oh man, Hayden, jump

577
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: on that thing. It's just a grounder. It's just a grounder,

578
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: right to you. Suck that thing up. And they didn't,

579
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: and obviously it cost him. It just shows you the

580
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: fragile nature mark of a season. Because Atlanta gets that

581
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: win on the road, Atlanta's one and one, they got

582
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: momentum going home that one play and look, there's a

583
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: bunch of plays in the game, but that one play

584
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: the Goldudes jump on it. Just jump on it, and

585
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: ball game. The Packers in twenty fourteen gets a Seahawks.

586
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: All Brandon Bostick's got to do is get out of

587
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: the way and do his job and let Jordy Nelson

588
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: cover the ball and they go to the super Bowl.

589
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: It's one play. And think about how everything thing changes

590
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: for Atlanta. All week they're talking about, well, you're gonna

591
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: get out of the whole, are you're gonna be fired?

592
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? I mean, Dan Quinns had

593
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: to answer all those questions all week. And if they

594
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: just jump on it. It's like, boy, Dan, you guys

595
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: put together a great offensive performance, held on your special teams,

596
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: got it done in the end. Instead, it's like, well,

597
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: how could your defense give up that much? When are

598
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: you guys gonna win again? I mean, just all that

599
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: in just one play, and you just said to jump

600
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: on it and didn't do it. Well, look, you asked

601
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: the general, and I'm gonna go here. Oh, by the way,

602
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: I agree with you with I mean, one play, that's

603
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: the beauty of the NFL. One play can change the

604
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: course of people's lives, and it did with the Texans

605
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen with the pick six by Richard Sherman.

606
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: That's a play that changed people's lives right there. Lives

607
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: changed because of that play. And I will look, I'm

608
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: not saying the Texans would have had a winning season

609
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: had that play not been made. I think it would

610
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: have been a rough season, but it wouldn't have been

611
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: two and fourteen. If they hang out and beat the Seahawks,

612
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: obviously that's a third win right there. But the thing is,

613
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: I just think confidence changes, Certain things change because of that. Anyway,

614
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about this, and you mentioned it. You asked

615
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: John McClain this question, who's better the Chiefs or the Ravens, Johnny,

616
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: who's better the Chiefs of the Ravens? I agree to

617
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: general the Ravens, and I you look the Chiefs. The

618
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense can do a lot of different things. There's

619
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: no question. They have a lot of different weapons and

620
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: they can do a lot of things offensively. But the

621
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: Ravens can do it in a different way. But going

622
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: back and really studying the Ravens tape against us, it

623
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: was clear to me that Ravens defense is stout. And

624
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: still I say that, and yet there we're talking about

625
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: one play or just one item or one miss in

626
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: a play and what it costs you. It's it's enormous.

627
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: But I think overall the Ravens defense, and where the

628
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: Ravens defense I think is that much better than the Chiefs,

629
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: and that much better than any other defense in the

630
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: league is in the secondary. Those guys cover like gloves.

631
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they just throw a blanket on you. And

632
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: then they've got guys out there that are so intelligent.

633
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: Mark that pick to Marcus Peters. I understand completely why

634
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: DeShawn never saw him, never thought he was gonna be there.

635
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,959
Speaker 1: Because DeShawn knew it was man coverage, and so when

636
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: Brandon was breaking open, He's like, it's man coverage. Marcus

637
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: Peters should have never been in the vicinity, but he

638
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: fell off a Randall Cobb who was out in the

639
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 1: flat and made a heck of a play. And they've

640
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: got that in the secondary. I mean, when your fourth

641
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: cover guy is Jimmy Smith, you've got a really good secondary.

642
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: And yet the Texans left a bunch of plays yards

643
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: and points out on the field. And I'm not talking about, well,

644
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: if these three things would happen on a play. I'm

645
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: talking about if one thing happens on a play, that's

646
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a touchdown. If one thing happens on this play,

647
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a touchdown. Yet I still think the

648
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: Ravens defense is that much better than the Chiefs, and

649
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: I think that's why I would give them the I

650
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: would give them the leg up. Yeah, because some of

651
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: those things that needed to happen were kind of not

652
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,479
Speaker 1: exactly unforced errors, but semi forced at the very least

653
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: by the Ravens defense, Yes exactly. I mean, look, Brandon

654
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: Williams can toss anybody in the league, so the fact

655
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: that he's tossing a few of our guys aside. You

656
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: know that that can happen, um, but there there were

657
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: there were things that happened that you hope in due

658
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: time it'll it'll get better. But I think facing the

659
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: Ravens defense was as good a practice you could have

660
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: for facing the Steelers defense, because who's better Steeler defense

661
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: or raven defense. The Steelers front overall is better because

662
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers have experience in side linebackers. With Devin Bush

663
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: going to second year Vince Williams, it feels like Vince

664
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 1: has been there forever. And I think the front overall

665
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 1: is more athletic and and better overall the secondary. From

666
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: a cover perspective, I think the Ravens are that much

667
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: better than the Steelers. I don't know if the Steelers

668
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: cover guys outside of Joe Hayden are great. I think

669
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: micka Fitzpatrick is very very good at what he does.

670
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: The other guys I don't I'm not buying the other guys,

671
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: but I'll give you the key for the Steelers. The

672
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: key is and this is one thing I don't know

673
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: that the Ravens have. Chuck Clark is very very good

674
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: but he is not Mike Hilton. When the Steelers go

675
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: nickel and they put Mike Hilton in the game, he's

676
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: the smallest guy in the field, and he's one of

677
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: the best blitzers I've seen from a nickel position. He

678
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: may be the best nickel in the league. Twenty eight

679
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: makes a huge impact. He's five eight one eighty and Mark,

680
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: when we played him in twenty seventeen, he had three

681
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: sacks against us, And there's no chill that guy. He

682
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: is coming a mile a million miles an hour. He

683
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: is a little different than anybody the Ravens have. So

684
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: I would say the Steelers defense overall, I would give

685
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: them the slight edge because their front is that good

686
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: and they have a playmaker in a back in makeup

687
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: and with Joe Hayden covering. But to me, the Ravens

688
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: secondary is much better than the Steelers. But you throw

689
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: Mike Hilton in there at nickel and he can do

690
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, and you know the blitz

691
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: is coming. But I'll say this, Mark, I thought the

692
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: Texans did a pretty decent job against the Blitz for

693
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: the most part. It wasn't tremendous, it wasn't perfect but

694
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: I thought they did a pretty good job with the

695
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: blitz and hopefully that continues against Pittsburgh on Sunday, because

696
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: you have fifty eight percent blitz right right. I mean,

697
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: it's comes wrong blitzing team. And you know the gift

698
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: of the blonde haired guy. It's a profile and he

699
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: just kind of like shakes his head. It's like it's

700
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: one of the most famous ones. Yea. And that could

701
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: be used for two things. It could be used for

702
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't believe you this is what you're saying is

703
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: incorrect or I don't believe this information in the sense

704
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: that I am blown away by it. Uh. That was

705
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: my reaction. I felt like that guy when you said

706
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh front is maybe better than the Ravens front,

707
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, great, good, good, Yeah, that's what we

708
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: need this weekend. Thanks a lot. They're they're they're built

709
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: a little a little differently. The one thing I don't

710
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: think the Ravens have that the Steelers do. I mean,

711
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: Matt Judon and Jaalen Ferguson are are are good on

712
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: the outside, They're not t J. Watton, Bud Dupree. I

713
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: think that's where there's a significant edge Watton Dupree. Those

714
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: guys do not quit and buds on a contract year

715
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: he got I think he got franchised and signed the

716
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: franchise tag he's on. He's on contract year and he

717
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: is playing. He's playing about as well as I've ever

718
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: seen him. I mean, he knocked Drew Lock out of

719
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: the game the other day. I mean, he and Watt

720
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: are a problem. What are the what are the odds

721
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: that JJ has abby to play offensive line this week?

722
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: I want to go against my brother. I could get

723
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: in his head. I could do a coach. I can

724
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: get into his head, and you know he can because

725
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: he's his older brother. Oh of course, so maybe we

726
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: should think about that strategy. Yeah, yeah, probably at probably

727
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: at tight end, you know, sneak him in the game.

728
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: At sneak him in the game at tight end. Yeah. Oh,

729
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: speaking of chips, Mark, I think I told you this

730
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: during the game. I saw it happened during the game.

731
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: Remember in the fourth quarter when David Johnson caught a

732
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: check down out in the flat that Sean lookdownfield. He

733
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: threw it. It was on the left side, so for

734
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: you looking at it, it it would have been towards you.

735
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: David Johnson chipped on. I think it was Matt Judon

736
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: and or no, no no, it was Tys Bowser. Mark heat

737
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: chipped Bowser and knocked him straight on his wallet. I

738
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, Larry didn't even know what

739
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: to do. Larry got he saw David chipping, was like,

740
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: I guess do I lock him? Do I stay here?

741
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: Like what I mean? Mark, He drilled him and then

742
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: he got out in the flat as the checkdown caught.

743
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: It ended up getting like a five to seven yard game.

744
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: David Johnson is a he can pass protect. And then

745
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: later on in the game he went one on one

746
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: with one of the linebackers I think it was Ferguson

747
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: and he just I mean popped him, stone him, stood

748
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: him up and just dance with him. I'm like, man,

749
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: if that's a kind of pass protection you get from

750
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: your running back, holy smoke. We need to get that

751
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: all across the board. We get that, we'll be able

752
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: to do the things we want to do. Who do

753
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 1: you got tonight? Jags, Dolphins, Jags, Jags at home. Something

754
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: about them that they've got They've got confidence. These young

755
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: guys don't know any better. And Minshe's like, what does

756
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: Minsho have to lose. You know, there was all about

757
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and he's like, there's good there's a stat

758
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: that he's only thrown two passes with the team not

759
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: trailing this year. Good grief. I mean, wow, that's amazing.

760
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: So imagine if he has a lead, I don't know

761
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: what they might not know what to do with themselves. Johnny,

762
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being with us. We look forward

846
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't have to even watch tonight because I know

847
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: they have to mention this that when Miami plays Jacksonville,

848
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: that this is a matchup that took place capping well

849
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. He kept it the nineteen ninety nine

850
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: season when Miami was beaten by the Jags sixty two

851
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: to seven in a playoff game. Can you imagine that? Look,

852
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: we've seen a couple of rough playoff games here, maybe three,

853
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: all right, Kansas City, Indie and Kansas City. Oh they

854
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: did it to us twice. It just felt so different

855
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: at home versus on the road. Anyway, but this is

856
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 1: sixty two to seven, and you're thinking, well, the Dolphins

857
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: must have had like Jay Fiedler or somebody playing quarterback

858
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: and they were just overwhelmed. Now it was Dan Marino.

859
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: It was dam Marino's last game, nineteen ninety nine Divisional round.

860
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: He was eleven of twenty five for ninety five yards.

861
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Sack twice is totally ineffective? As

862
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: the Jags had a great team that went to the

863
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game but lost to the Tennessee Titans, who,

864
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: as you know, went to the Super Bowl and lost

865
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: by a yard. Seth Pain was on that Jaguar team,

866
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: so was Gary Walker. I mean that that was an

867
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: early Texans glimpse there Dom Capers, the defensive coordinator. But

868
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: I just thought it was interesting you have that sort

869
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: of reunion of these two teams matching up tonight. And

870
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: things very different. That was Dan Marino's last game, capping

871
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: the ninety nine season. All right, let's get the Houston

872
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: Methodist minutes now. You know, we often picked sports topics

873
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: that are very you know, ac hill Achilles, things had

874
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: happened to the players we follow. Tonight, it's knee replacement,

875
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: which your grandma had last year. Maybe, but it happens,

876
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: and I thought it might be interesting for everybody to

877
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: hear about it because it's different. Then you think in

878
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: some cases. Doctor Sean Krakle of Houston method has joined

879
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: us and talked about and I asked, well, is it

880
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: really older people? Is it some younger people? I mean,

881
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: how would you define the demographics of this among other things?

882
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: Totally is and even partial knee replacements are procedures that

883
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: are done for people that have sort of had wear

884
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: and tear their knees and basically over time. Yes, it

885
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: definitely tends to impact people later in life, but I

886
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: have a wide range of age groups of patients who

887
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: end up needing a joint replacement. It's really dependent on

888
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: a number of things. Genetics can play a factor, but

889
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: also just wear and tear. In trying to mitigate how

890
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 1: much force and damage we do to our knees. So

891
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: my mother in law was told this recovery would be

892
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: actually easier than ACL recovery. Why is that so? Sometimes

893
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 1: it depends on the patient. I would say that knee

894
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: replacement can be a challenging recovery in general, but with

895
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: ACL recovery, we definitely limit how much motion you can

896
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: do initially while that ligament is reconstructed, typically or as

897
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: a total knee. One of the first things that I

898
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: have people doing is trying to get in motion and

899
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: moving it around. We've definitely made a lot of leaps

900
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: and bounds in terms of the recovery phase to a

901
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: point where a majority of patients are often able to

902
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: even go home the same day, which was fairly inconceivable

903
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: just a few years back. But I think a big

904
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: part of it is the pain management modalities that we've

905
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: kind of incorporated around that surgery. So if you have

906
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: knee replacement surgery, you can resume sub activities, but not

907
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: all right, are you running days over basketball, tennis, that

908
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: kind of thing. It definitely takes a limitations onto people's

909
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: activity levels, meaning patients typically get a little bit of

910
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: a larger hand decap if they go back to playing golf,

911
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: for example, after a hip or knee replacement. But it's

912
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: not a huge difference. I tell all of my patients

913
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: after the initial recovery, which can be up to the

914
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: first six to twelve weeks after surgery, but really after

915
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: about twelve weeks, patients go back to doing any activities

916
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: that they did before. We do discourage certain activities that

917
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: tend to lead to more wear and tear, just like

918
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: running and so things that are going to wear out

919
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: the components, the same activities that would wear out your

920
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: natural cartilage, so being and you know, if someone is

921
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: an avid runner, I'll discourage them from necessarily running day

922
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: in and day out and trying to find a hobby

923
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: that they can find happiness from. The reality is, if

924
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: they did it, it's not going to wear it out

925
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: necessarily overnight, but it may wear out that implant a

926
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: little faster than if they did not do running. Great information, doctor,
