00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Of course, something to keep in mind, the Texans have

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 2: never won in New Orleans.

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,440

Speaker 2: have got a lot on this show to get to.

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: We obviously have our Dmiko Ryan's interview, which you have

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: every week. We also have Titus Howard joining the show

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: and Andrews does it with Titus Howard, you don't want

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: to miss a little bit.

23
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: We also are gonna have defensive coordinator Matt Burke on

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: the show.

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: We are going to have Christy Freud, who covers New

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: Orleans Saints along with DP City. We're gonna have Chris Myers,

27
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: who's calling the game for Fox with Drew Doherty does

28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: kind of a pseudo Drew dozen with Chris Myers, which

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: you can't wait for that. We got my keys to

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: the game, and we got predictions. We get all that

31
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: happening on the show. So we got to get rolling.

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: We gotta get going, and we start every Friday with

33
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: our guy head coach, Tamiko Ryans and the voice of Texans,

34
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: Mark Vandermuir.

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: Mark, take it away, coach.

36
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: You did a good job stopping the run last week,

37
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: and I know you want to do that this week.

38
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: How are they different in running the ball compared to

39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: what you saw last week?

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: Had a difference in a run game, similar run scheme

41
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: with outside his own scheme, but difference from Atlanta. They're

42
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: not huge cutters backside with the offensive line. They all

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: stay up. This is a bigger offensive line. Atlanta was

44
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: a smaller offensive line, faster, more athletic getting up to

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: the second level. New Orleans bigger o'd lineman. I just

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: want to move, move you out of way, lean on

47
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: you a little bit.

48
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: How tough is it to stop Kamara up from catching

49
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: the football because he's very dangerous that way.

50
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 5: And very dangerous.

51
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: It's tough to stop him because sometimes they just throw

52
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: him the swing pass and he's five yards behind a

53
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: lot of scrimmens, so it's hard to be tight coverage

54
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: on that. And he does a really good job of

55
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 4: making guys miss. Probably one of the best running backs

56
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: in the league. When you talk about contact balance. He

57
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: had guys on them, guys who think they've stopped him.

58
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: You hit him and he's still up. So it's going

59
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 5: to take multiple guys.

60
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 4: At the ball, hitting them, bringing him down and making

61
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 4: sure we're wrapping up versus him.

62
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: What does Derek Carr do for them?

63
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: And do you remember Derek from when he was a

64
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 3: little kid here, because you had that overlap year with

65
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: David Carr.

66
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: Derek and I don't remember him back then, but I

67
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: know it's a cool story David Derek in the NFL quarterbacks.

68
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 5: What Derek does for the Saints is you talk about

69
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: a guy.

70
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: Who can throw the deep ball very well, and they

71
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: have receivers who can go get it right right. Lave's

72
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 4: probably one of the best in the league a deep tar,

73
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: so he does a really good job of right ball

74
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: placement on the deep ball, which is very tough to do,

75
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 4: and that's what Derek does, does a good job with

76
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: a quick game as well managing that.

77
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 5: But we have to just get after him. We have

78
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 5: to make sure we play tight coverage.

79
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: We have to make sure that we're relentless upfront with

80
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 4: our rush to really affect him right, to have him

81
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 4: confused a bit so we can kind of get him

82
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: on the ground.

83
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: Everybody talks about the Saint secondary, but there's no picnic

84
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: to deal with upfront?

85
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: What about that?

86
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, their front is that's tough, and that's where it

87
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: starts for them.

88
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: I mean he talked about big defensive linement long all right,

89
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: physical guys up front and they run right, it's gonna

90
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: be hard to knock these guys back and control of

91
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. We have our hands full when

92
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: it comes to that. So it all starts up front

93
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: with those guys. Granderson, all right, Cam Jordan on the edge,

94
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: two of the best guys in the league.

95
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: Coach back at home, great atmosphere a couple of weeks ago.

96
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: You look at for that again. There will be some

97
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: Saints fans there as well. Some of your guys have

98
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: said that fires them up in a way. Whatever kind

99
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: of atmosphere is as long as it's exciting.

100
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, we want an excited atmosphere. If it's our visiting team,

101
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: their fans being rowdy and loud, we'll take that, right.

102
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: We just wanted an excited atmosphere. We wanted loud.

103
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: Of course, we want our fans loud, noth for us,

104
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: and we gonna give our fans something a tier four.

105
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: We got to make some big time plays all right

106
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: throughout this game, and I think our fans would be

107
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: very excited.

108
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Coach, thanks love for joining us.

109
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 6: Good luck, Thank you Mark.

110
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: Coach is ready for this one, as is Titus Howard

111
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: has not played a game at home since last year,

112
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: so I know he's excited.

113
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: He sat down with Drew to talk about this one

114
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: against the Saints.

115
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 7: Tightas Howard, offensive lineman for the Houston Texans, joins us now, Titus,

116
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 7: always great to be with you.

117
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 8: First game back was last week.

118
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 7: What was it like being back in there in that offense,

119
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 7: mixing it up because you were there preseason training camp

120
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 7: at the start, and that's one thing, but it's different

121
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 7: when you're actually in regular season game mode.

122
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 9: What was it like feel good.

123
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 10: Everybody embraced me back, you know, so I was able

124
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 10: to get back, and you know, the offense is not

125
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 10: a hard offense to kind of learn.

126
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 9: Just gotta go out there fast.

127
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 10: And I think me doing all the stuff I did

128
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 10: to get back kind of helped me out when I

129
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 10: got back. So it was pretty smooth. Felt good to

130
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 10: be out there. I mean, the atmosphere in Atlanta is

131
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 10: actually pretty good. Yeah, We're just gonna try to build

132
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 10: out that.

133
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and for the third straight week, the offensive line,

134
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 7: the offense as a whole, does not allow a sack.

135
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 7: That's never happened in franchise history. That's the first time

136
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 7: and there have been some pretty good offensive lines around here.

137
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 8: How has that happened?

138
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 10: Ah Man, I mean it starts with the QB. You know,

139
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 10: he's getting the ball out pretty fast. And I think

140
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 10: all those guys, even when we was out, Me and LT,

141
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 10: those guys take pride in, you know, protecting CJ. You know,

142
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 10: guys respect to him a lot giving up sacks. It's

143
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 10: kind of like it's tough. It's tough to give up

144
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 10: a sack, you know, because you got a quarterback that

145
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 10: that's back there doing the things he doing, you know,

146
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 10: so if the guys take pride in you know, not

147
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 10: you know, giving up the quarterback hits and sacks and

148
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 10: stuff like that, So I think it's kind of like

149
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 10: built you know, the offensive line up, and you know,

150
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 10: I think we look take pride in not giving up

151
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 10: those sacks. So as we continue to do that, you know,

152
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 10: it's gonna be like a kind of like a d

153
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 10: lion c that it was kind of like a bounty

154
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 10: on our head. And these guys think gave us the

155
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 10: sacking three weeks, we got to be the team to

156
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 10: give us get us get a sack on So I

157
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 10: think that's very encouraging us its goals. You know, it's

158
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 10: motivating to see that we're the first group to do that.

159
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 10: So you know, kudos to CJ coaching staff the play

160
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 10: calling because that's also gonna help us out a lot too.

161
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 7: It's interesting to hear you say that because you're not

162
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 7: the only offensive lineman.

163
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 8: That's you know, kind of turning the credit back on him.

164
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 7: Whereas, yeah, CJ, he's given you guys on the credit,

165
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 7: given the rest of the backs, the receivers, the tight

166
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 7: ends and so and so forth.

167
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 8: So how about the run game, what do you guys

168
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 8: need to do?

169
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 7: I asked you about this, you know, right after the

170
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 7: game the other day, that last drive looked like the

171
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 7: run games started to get going.

172
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 8: Can that carry over into you know, this week and

173
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 8: be on?

174
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely can carry on.

175
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 10: It's just doing the little things whenever we go out

176
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 10: there and we do everything we're supposed to do.

177
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 9: I mean to run the gaps be wide open.

178
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 10: DP running, he's on the safety, but you know, as

179
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 10: a collective hole for the offensive work and for his

180
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 10: run games, working his offense, everybody got to be on

181
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 10: their p's and q's. And like when we playing in Atlanta,

182
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 10: I mean, we have ten guys maybe in the right

183
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 10: spot and then one guy not and it just kills

184
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 10: the play. But if we keep on, you know, steadily

185
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 10: improving each week, It's not gonna be great every week

186
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 10: because you know, teams scheme up to stop the run.

187
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 9: They wanna make it pass.

188
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 10: But I think we can get this thing going because

189
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 10: I mean, DP special, and if we block the way

190
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 10: he's supposed to block, He's gonna make something happen every time.

191
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 7: All Right, The Saints defense comes to town ranked pretty

192
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 7: highly in the NFL. In a lot of different categories.

193
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 7: What about this front seven? You got Cam Jordan in there,

194
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 7: you got the rookie, you got a lot of pieces

195
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 7: in there. What stands out to you when you look

196
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 7: at the New Orleans front.

197
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 10: Probably the number one thing is how hard they play.

198
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 10: Those guys are relentless, is Grandison? You got Brian Brees,

199
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 10: Cam Jordan with Saunders, you know, all those guys, they

200
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 10: playing hard. They take pride in you know, you know,

201
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 10: being a dominant front four and front seven. Because the

202
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 10: Mario Davis, I'm in the at linebacker's been a good

203
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 10: player for a long time and if you listen to

204
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 10: him talk, he take pride in you know, the defense

205
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 10: and stuff like that. So those guys play hard. We

206
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 10: play hard up front. So I think it's gonna be

207
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 10: a great matchup.

208
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 8: No doubt.

209
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 7: All Right, How awesome is it gonna be to be

210
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 7: back inside Energy Statum? You have played here since last year?

211
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's gonna be fun, man, because the atmosphere here,

212
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 10: especially the last game is the Stills was crazy. So

213
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 10: they just, you know, it kind of like brought back

214
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 10: memories from like twenty nineteen when we was winning. Just

215
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 10: to be back here and being able to play, not

216
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 10: watching front of the sideline. It's gonna be pretty cool.

217
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know you just said something interesting.

218
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 7: Atmosphere is different, and there are a lot of fans

219
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 7: from the other team here. It's probably gonna be the

220
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 7: case as well. So it's it was kind of like

221
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 7: a college football as it was. It was so yeah,

222
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 7: and then you bring up kind of old days talk.

223
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 7: It's different around here right now.

224
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 9: It is it is these last three years.

225
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 10: I mean kind of like the it's been low, but

226
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 10: like I can see it coming back, and I mean

227
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 10: not gonna lie.

228
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 9: I think this team can be better than the team

229
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 9: in twenty nineteen.

230
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 10: You got the players, you know, they buying in, got

231
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 10: the fans behind us, We got a great coach. I

232
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 10: think teams to you know, work hard and put the

233
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 10: work in. You know, we can make all the fans proud.

234
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 10: You know, the stuff we put on the field Sundays, it's.

235
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 8: Really exciting stuff.

236
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 7: Titus appreciate the time to look against the Saints and

237
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 7: best to luck the rest of the way, sir.

238
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 2: All right, great stuff from Dimica Ryans and Titus Howard.

239
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: Appreciate them for stopping by the show. Mark Titus playing

240
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: guard last week watching the film.

241
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: Thought looked good.

242
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: Thought it looked pretty good. I'm curious how the Saints

243
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: will attack. And one of the things about this game,

244
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: and I know that you preseason doesn't matter a whole

245
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: heck of a lot, but a Saints rookie really showed

246
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: himself from that preseason game, even against the Texas starters.

247
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: That was Brian Braze, and I would imagine he's going

248
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: to be a factor in this game as well. But

249
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: Titus is gonna get his first look at the Saints

250
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: at guard. Your thoughts about Titus staying at guard, would

251
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: imagine that's where he stays for this game against the Saints.

252
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: But he talks about Titus playing guard. Well, Johnny, you

253
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: know how I am about evaluating offensive lineman. I'm very

254
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: good at this and I can tell when they can

255
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: knock another guy over. Okay, let's see what you got,

256
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: because no matter who you put out there, offensive line

257
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: is always a mystery because you'll see other teams have

258
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: this happen to them when so and so is out.

259
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: But somehow they keep it together and they manage to

260
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 3: play well. And I think a lot of it has

261
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 3: to do with how good your quarterback is. How fast

262
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: is he getting rid of the football and how fired

263
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: up are the guys up front to fire off and

264
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: get the ground game going. Because to me, as far

265
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: as Titus or anybody else on that line goes, this

266
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: has to end this great drought of Texans ground yardage.

267
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: They've got to figure it out.

268
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: They ran the ball, okay against Pittsburgh, but in just

269
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: about every other game it hasn't been there. It's been

270
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: there in spurts and spots, but you needed to be

271
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: there on a consistent basis. That's what this offense is.

272
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: I can't say all about it's not just about that,

273
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 3: but it's a huge part of it. They got to

274
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: get it going somehow, and if not, maybe throw the

275
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: ball to the running backs a little bit. Maybe throw

276
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: it to Pierce a little bit more than you have.

277
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: We were talking with Dimiko about Kamara. He says, they

278
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: throw it to him five yards behind a line of

279
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: scrimmage and it's tough to stop that catch, but what

280
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: do you do after the reception. So we'll see if

281
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: the Texans can get something going with the backs, either

282
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 3: on the ground through the air, because you need that

283
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: with no tank.

284
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: Dell, Yes, absolutely, Okay, when was the last time the

285
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: Texans had one hundred yard rusher.

286
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: It was Damian Pierce at some point. Pierce yeah, almost

287
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: a year ago.

288
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, November three against the Philadelphia Eagles of all teams. Wow.

289
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: And for as good as Damian was last year, how

290
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: many hundred yard games did you have last year?

291
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Not many? But what a three?

292
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 11: Two?

293
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: Two? Okay? Two? But you know you know this, If you.

294
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: Run for eighty a game, that's fine as long as

295
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: you're getting some other ground production along the way. Your

296
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: quarterback maybe picks up ten to fifteen, another running back

297
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: picks up twenty, and then you're.

298
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Kind of there.

299
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: You'd like more than that, honestly, but you don't have

300
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: to have your back getting one hundie every game. It

301
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: doesn't happen in this league very often where somebody's just

302
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: a consistent one hundred yard per game runner. Look at

303
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: the rushing yard totals. You get over a thousand and

304
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: a seventeen game season. What's the math on that, professor?

305
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: Sixty something something? Okay, maybe under now you want to

306
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: do better than sixty something, But sometimes that's all you

307
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: need to get through the day, especially if you're getting

308
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: the production from other places. The bottom line is this,

309
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: You've got a really good quarterback here. Figure out a

310
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: way to move the ball consistently. And I don't care

311
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: how you do it, honestly, but I think the ground

312
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: game is going to be a big part of it.

313
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

314
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any question how many kind of

315
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: not to beat this dead horse, because you're right, you

316
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: don't need to get to one hundred. I think hundred

317
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: is just that the magical number, triple digits like that

318
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: signifies he done it right, right, team, you want to

319
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: get to one hundred, Well, yeah, I think for an individual,

320
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: but how many in the last two years obviously we

321
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: haven't had one this year twenty two to twenty one.

322
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: How many times do we have a runner go for

323
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards? Well, Burkhead did it against the

324
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: Chargers one one that was the only one.

325
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 3: Didn't do it at all, even against Jacksonville in the

326
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: week one and twenty twenty one.

327
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: No, all right, so you really didn't have anything was

328
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: going on. It was three in the last two years.

329
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Damian's got two of them, and one of them

330
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: came as a result against the Chargers. Yet that said

331
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: five yard run he had thirteen other carries for sixty

332
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: six yards.

333
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: Fifty six yards.

334
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: Why don't I remember Burkhead having a seventy five yard run?

335
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: Why is that play just now?

336
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: No, because Damien had a seventy five yard Dan I'm

337
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: thinking that Burkhead.

338
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: Come on, we're talking about the Charger game. Well, no,

339
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: he did it against the Chargers. Fifty three came against

340
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers.

341
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: Burkeheads came against the Chargers in twenty one, and Damien's

342
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: came against the Chargers in twenty two.

343
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley's defense, Yes, rock and Roll, we need Brandon

344
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: Stalley's defense back that. What about this defense?

345
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: You're facing the fourth best defense in the league statistically,

346
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: points in yards?

347
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: Are they that good?

348
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: You just got done watching the game against the Patriots

349
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: for the same Does that tell you anything?

350
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Can you clean anything out of that? That's the thing,

351
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't really tell you anything. I'm watching it thinking, gosh,

352
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots offensively, there's nobody that scares you. But I

353
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: think what the Saints have is they have three levels

354
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: of if not elite players, at those levels, they have

355
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: really exceptional players. And their players that have played together.

356
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: You know, Cameron Jordan's been playing up there. You know,

357
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: with the Saints.

358
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: For for a long a long time, those linebackers and

359
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: Mario Davis and Pete Warner played together for a couple

360
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: of years. You know, Tyron got there a couple of

361
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: years ago or last year, so they've been playing together

362
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: as secondary for a few years now. Marcus May is new,

363
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: but you know Latimore has been back there forever. So

364
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: that's a veteran team that's been playing together in the

365
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: same system for at least a couple of years now.

366
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: And it looked like the Patriots were the right way

367
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: of saying this. The Patriots just didn't look good. They

368
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: didn't look like they could threaten the Saints at all.

369
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: But it's really solid front six, front seven, depending on

370
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: what they're in. And then of course you got Tyron

371
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: floating in the middle making plays. Marcus May is potentially

372
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: going to be back, so they're two safeties. They've got

373
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: guys with experience and so they'll help with the run.

374
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: It's this is a tough one because I think they

375
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: also with their rookies Brazi Isaiah Foski, they've added depth

376
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: to that front seven. So it's like, man, we just

377
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: had camera Jordan Off the field and now all a sudden,

378
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: we got to block Fosky, like, oh great. So it's

379
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: a really solid and strong defense that plays discipline and

380
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: gets after it.

381
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: Do they have a TJ. Watt?

382
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 11: No?

383
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: Do they have really solid players at a lot of

384
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: different positions.

385
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, which is.

386
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes what you'd rather have right now, everybody would want

387
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: t J.

388
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Watt.

389
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: But if you have balanced throughout, it's pretty good and

390
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: the numbers bear that out. Now, the schedule is not

391
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: overly impressive as to what they face so far, but

392
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: so what they've done, what they've done right. I want

393
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: to look at that Buccaneer game. They did not do

394
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: well against them Bucks, and the Bucks are going to

395
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: be here in a few weeks.

396
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

397
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: I think the Buccaneers have I don't want to say

398
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: they've played over their skis a little bit, but they've

399
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: just played well and Baker's done good things. I think

400
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: Baker resonates with them. I think he's found a place

401
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: he's really comfortable in Mark. But do they miss him

402
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: in Cleveland?

403
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Maybe so?

404
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: Maybe a little maybe, maybe a little bit. It was

405
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: interesting kind of seeing the responses to the Browns tweet

406
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: today that Shawn Watson would not play.

407
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: There were a lot of can we get Baker back?

408
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that, and they wanted to run

409
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: Baker out of town on the midnight train back in

410
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: T's so bad.

411
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: What Look, I'm glad that the Texans were able to

412
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: make the deal with the Browns, no question about that.

413
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: But from a Browns perspective, and I get it, it

414
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: wasn't a good year in twenty twenty one for Baker,

415
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: but Justin Reid had a lot to do with that,

416
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: with that hit on his shoulder, and Baker was determined

417
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: to play through it. Keenum could have started a game

418
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: or two for them or more, but Baker wanted to play.

419
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: And Baker's a tough guy. He's gonna play. But sometimes

420
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: sometimes you do hurt the team when you play. And

421
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: I think he did that on a couple of occasions,

422
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: at least a couple in twenty twenty one.

423
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think once they got into the Deshaun

424
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: Watson sweepstakes and that they were in the mix, and

425
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: then I think at that point Baker then kind of

426
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: got in his feelings a little bit. He went to

427
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: Twitter and he started saying what he felt. And I'm

428
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: not saying that you shouldn't be honest with yourself, but

429
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: you don't have to make everything public. And I think

430
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: if Baker had an opportunity to go back and probably

431
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: take it back, but that's just kind of the way

432
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: he's wired. And I think Tampa appreciates that. And you're

433
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: not playing in you know, in the weather and all that.

434
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: I know hasn't gotten bad up in Cleveland, but I

435
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: think he just needed a new start, and I think

436
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: it really helped him to go to LA. He went

437
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: to LA and he had that game against the Raiders,

438
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: and I think there was this positive man, did you

439
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 2: see what Baker did? They were starting to get some

440
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: positive feelings about him again. And then he goes to

441
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: Tampa and he's been doing some good things. Hopefully that

442
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: ends in three four weeks, but that's down the road.

443
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: I this scene, I can't figure them out offensively because

444
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: I look in and think, man, he got a really lot

445
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: of really good pieces, you know, but Kamara's not killing

446
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: it on the ground. They do throw it to him

447
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: in the air. I think the game against Tampa Bay,

448
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: he had eleven catches for forty six yards.

449
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: That's not a lot. It's like a ground game. Right, Yeah,

450
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: so it was just there running maybe right.

451
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: I guess, but when has anybody ever caught eleven passes

452
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 2: for forty six yards? It was kind of odd. So

453
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: there's just been some odd things about it. I mean,

454
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 2: Michael Thomas has had uh four and fifty I think

455
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: it is four catches and fifty four plus catches and

456
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: fifty plus yards every single game.

457
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: So okay, Well, they kind of feel like they're back.

458
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: Jimmy Graham didn't do a whole lot, but he killed

459
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: us in the preseason game, so maybe they go back

460
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: to him a little bit.

461
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: It's just love like they've got pieces in a lave.

462
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: He had a touchdown last week, he got two passes

463
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: for twelve yards, So it's this really kind of year.

464
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: I know they didn't they didn't need it, so there's

465
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 2: not much you can take out of that game. A

466
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: lave scares the fool out of me.

467
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: I think Michael Thomas is not quite what he was

468
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: a few years ago, but that that doesn't mean he

469
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: can't catch eight for one a touchdown. I'm gonna really

470
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: hurt you. How many points do you have to score

471
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: to win this game? Twenty seven? I kind of feel

472
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: that way too. I feel you got to get to

473
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: twenty seven.

474
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 3: I think that at least twenty four to twenty seven

475
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: and probably twenty seven, they're gonna score some They're gonna

476
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: get there, They're gonna have some moments, They're gonna hit

477
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: some big plays here and there. You better be able

478
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: to score points. It can't be like last week. Can't

479
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: be field goal fest. Got to get the TDS.

480
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: What's your gut feeling about it?

481
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: I think it's a close game, Johnny. Look the Texans

482
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: were We're looking at another underdogs, underdog situation. Right, boys

483
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 3: in the desert say underdogs. I feel that way too.

484
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: I feel like, look, this is an established group of

485
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: players with a new lead singer.

486
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: This is Van Halen, and they got Hagar in there.

487
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: Okay, Breeze is Dave Lee Roth. Look, I have more

488
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 3: respect for Sammy Hagar than that to call. Now, not

489
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: that I don't respect Derek Carr, but he's not Drew Brees.

490
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't think the drops up.

491
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: A little bit from Dave Lee Roth to Sammy Hagar

492
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: was Drew Brees to Derek Carr. Derek Carr is the

493
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 3: all time leading passer in Raiders history. Now the eras change,

494
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: but yet Richie Gannon a league MVP. Jim Plunkett, you know,

495
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 3: Kenny Stabler can go Pastorini play there for ten minutes.

496
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: You can go through all those guys. Mark Wilson was

497
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: a pretty good QB for them, But now we're in

498
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: the era of bloated numbers and everything in the passing game,

499
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: different rules. But it's kind of notable that he's the

500
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: all time leading passer and raider history and they haven't

501
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: done anything in the playoffs worthwhile since he's been there.

502
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: He's in a year ten right now. It's a good player.

503
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: My point is this good group of guys on offense,

504
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: names you know that can really do a lot of damage.

505
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 3: You mentioned the defense camp Jordan thirteenth year, got a

506
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: lot of good players, the Honey Badger, we had them here.

507
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: This is a tough matchup, Johnny, and they're gonna have

508
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 3: fans in the building.

509
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: Better be ready.

510
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: This is a coaching game this week for this staff,

511
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 3: Demiko and his staff, because you got to shake off

512
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: the loss to Atlanta, get razor sharp in your focus.

513
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: You know you have the by coming. Don't think about

514
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: that yet, think about that afterwards. They got a lot

515
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 3: of tough coaching to do this week. We'll see how

516
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: they respond.

517
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the boys in Vegas say New Orleans favored by two.

518
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know that sounds about right. But

519
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: certainly the Texans can win this game. The X factor

520
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: of all X factors.

521
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: CJ.

522
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: Stroud here, we are. Got the touchdown when you needed

523
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: it last week. You know, there's more production there. And

524
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about him necessarily he can do it,

525
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: but everybody else around him, everybody playing better on offense,

526
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: being able to get the ball across the goal line

527
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: more often, and we'll see where it takes down.

528
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: You get the ball across the goal line. That's what

529
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: you have to tick up the game, is it. Yes,

530
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 2: that's what you have to do. I don't care how

531
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: it gets done.

532
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: I don't care if they mimic what the University of Houston

533
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: didn't want on a hill. Mary.

534
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: Just walk out of there with more points than the Saints.

535
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: Can't take the stress, Yeah that I'll just take the result. Yeah,

536
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 2: take the result. Stress we can live with. The three

537
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: of us have been through it with some of these

538
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: games lately, especially taking a lead late and then losing

539
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: it to you know, twenty seventeen the years we did that,

540
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen to the Saints last time we saw him

541
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: in the last week.

542
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: The stress is delicious, though, it really is. Is this

543
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: is what you want exactly, not stress stress. It's not

544
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: human life stress. It's sports stress. And it's great because

545
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 3: get what happened last year. I mean, you were just

546
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 3: on this tremendous slide and they were competitive at times,

547
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: but you kind of knew what the situation was the

548
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: year before you had all those blowouts. We haven't had

549
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: real good stress since twenty nineteen, right, you know that

550
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 3: kind of good shall I love the tension, the drama.

551
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: What's it gonna be going into the game. I'm not

552
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 3: nervous about it. I'm excited about it, and I feel

553
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: that sports angst.

554
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: It's wonderful. Give it to me, yes, give it to us,

555
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: no doubt. And you're gonna have to give me a

556
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: few keys the game next. I'll have them for you

557
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: right here in Texans All Access. Here we go another

558
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: week of Texans football. Sunday against New Orleans Saints, kick

559
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: at noon at Energy Stadium, where the Texans are two

560
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: to no against the Saints in the regular season.

561
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: Mark Andre Mark Vanumir Andreware myself will have the call

562
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: for you on Sports Radio six ' ten. But you

563
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: don't want to miss the pregame show with Sewn and Seth,

564
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: and you don't want to miss the postgame show with

565
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Sean and Clinch. It's always good stuff, especially when the

566
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: Texans win.

567
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: So let's hopefully get together and talk about how great

568
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: it was. Kind of like last time against the Pittsburgh Steelers,

569
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: not like last week against the Atlanta Falcons.

570
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: So appreciate you being here with me. It's time to

571
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: dive in to our keys to the game. So we

572
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: got a lot to do with our keys. We gotta

573
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: look at offensive defensive keys. We also gotta look at

574
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: the injury report. So let's get my music going and

575
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: get me hype for the segment because you know I'm

576
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: gonna get going that way.

577
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: And let's start with the injury report, which actually isn't

578
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: half bad. I thought it was gonna be kind of rough,

579
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, but it really isn't half bad.

580
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: Every single player participated in practice today fully except for one,

581
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: and he was actually in a limited participation role and

582
00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 2: that is Tank Dell. Now Tank is as questionable the

583
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: thought is that he's probably not gonna play, but and

584
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: who knows. If he's questionable, there's a chance. I'm still

585
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: not expecting Tank to play, but it was good to

586
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: see him get back at practice. And the concussion protocol

587
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: is very straight through his protocols. There's certain benchmarks that.

588
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: You have to meet as you go through the week

589
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: and do all those kind of things.

590
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: Hopefully Christian Harris has gotten there. He's a full participant

591
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: in practice today. He was a limited participant on Thursday

592
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: when they had full pads on He's also says questionable.

593
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: Robert Woods was a full participant deal with the ribs,

594
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: but he was questionable, so Robert was.

595
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: He was a DMP on Wednesday, limited full.

596
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: Christian was the same except he was a limited, then limited,

597
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: and then full. So the only three status status reports,

598
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: if you will, are three questionable players to the Texans.

599
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: Tank Dell, Christian Harris, Robert Woods Harrison Woods both were

600
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 2: full participants in practice on Friday. That's a good sign.

601
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: It's not a guarantee, but it's a good sign they're

602
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: moving in the right direction. Great sign is Shaquille Griffin

603
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: being back. I thought a our Homan did some good

604
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: things in the game, but you just need to be

605
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: bolstered that much more in the secondary, especially when you're

606
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: facing Michael Thomas.

607
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: So now you've got shot coming back to Steven Nelson.

608
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: Holman's got confidence and experience in the system because he

609
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: played every I think every play last week at corner,

610
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: so got a lot of things going at least an

611
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 2: injury direction the positive way into this game. No status

612
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 2: on Jeomy Tunsall, so he's fully in so that was

613
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 2: good to see. Now the Saints not as lucky. The

614
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: Saints will be without titan Juwan Johnson, that's been for

615
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: a few weeks.

616
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: Adam Prentice fullback, j T.

617
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: Grayis safety and special teamer, and Landon Young a backup

618
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, starting offensive lineman, Andris Pete is questionable, even

619
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: though and he didn't participate.

620
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: He hasn't participated.

621
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: He was a full participant in the first two days

622
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: and then he was a DMP with a groin, so

623
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 2: that's not going in the right direction, and groin was

624
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: added to the injury report so that the Saints could

625
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: be down a starting offensive lineman, which may put James

626
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: Hurst back in the starting lineup again as he was

627
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: last week against the Wild Patriots, so that's definitely something

628
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on.

629
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: But five players out.

630
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: I think the one I didn't say is Lonnie Johnson

631
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 2: life Felatto will not play against his former team, the

632
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: team that drafted him.

633
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson's been really good on special teams for the Saints.

634
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: He will not play. So the Saints down five going

635
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: into this game. Now, none of those you would say

636
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: are big time starters. Pete's a big one, so we'll

637
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. He's questionable for this game.

638
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: But Derek Carr, James Harris Camp, Jordan Chris Lave all

639
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: full participants, all back at practice.

640
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 2: I wish it would have been flipped. I wish those

641
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: four would have been out and the others would have

642
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: been in. But yeah, you can only do so much. Okay,

643
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: So that's your injury report, your status report. How does

644
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: it change some of the keys. I don't know if it.

645
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: Changes any of them. So let's dive in to our

646
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: keys to the game. The Saints are three and two.

647
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 2: They won the first two of the year, lost the

648
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 2: next two to Green Bay, didn't do anything offensively against

649
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, and then whitewashed the Patriots thirty four to nothing.

650
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: What kind of team is this? Wow?

651
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 2: Man, Honestly, I don't know, guys, I really don't know.

652
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: They won a game sixteen to fifteen. They won another

653
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: game twenty to seventeen. They've lost twenty six to nine.

654
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they scored thirty four and the defense helped

655
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: them out to do it with it pick six early

656
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: on by Tyron Matthew and then an interception by Pete

657
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: Warner led to another score.

658
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: So I don't know how good they are offensively. Well,

659
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 2: the numbers kind of bear that out right now. The

660
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: Saints are rushing for ninety seven point two yards per game,

661
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 2: is twentieth to the NFL one hundred and ninety two

662
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: yards per game through the air passing that's twenty fourth.

663
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: They're also averaging under three hundred yards per game to

664
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty nine yards per game, they're twenty fifth.

665
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: They've lost six turnovers, and right now they are plus

666
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: three in turn of our margin, even though they have

667
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 2: lost those six turnovers, three picks by Derek Carr, three

668
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 2: fumbles lost, they've led by Derek Carr quarterback, and names

669
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: you've heard before, including the first one of our keys,

670
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: and that I called the human option route missus Alvin Kamara. Now,

671
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: Kamara does so many things. He just racked up seventy

672
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: third overall touchdown total touchdown seventy three. That set a

673
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: Saints all time career record. That makes him eighth active

674
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: list most touchdowns, and it puts him one hundred all

675
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 2: time for touchdowns.

676
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: And he's gotten him in multiple ways.

677
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: But what I fear is his ability to run routes

678
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: against these linebackers and get open and get open quickly. Now,

679
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: he was used more in a run game capacity against

680
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: the Patriots, but he's had games, including the one that

681
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: the Texans had in twenty nineteen, where he was targeted

682
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: double digit times and really good.

683
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: In that particular game, he ended up with seven catches.

684
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: He had thirteen carries in that game, one hundred and

685
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards. He averaged over eight yards to touch.

686
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: But in the passing game is where he really bothers me.

687
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: And the thing I can never get out of my

688
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: head is a twenty eighteen in the NFC Championship game

689
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: that was in New Orleans. He just ran option route

690
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: after option route.

691
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 2: He would just run up the linebacker, shake him if

692
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: the linebacker was inside, he went out. If the linebacker

693
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: was outside, he went in and Drew Brees just bang, bang,

694
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: just peppered him with receptions and it was eleven connections

695
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: for ninety six yards.

696
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: That can't happen on Sunday against the Texas. He can't

697
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: catch the ball eleven times. And if he catches ball.

698
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: Eleven times, he's got to be for what it was

699
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: against the Buccaneers, like forty four yards or something like that,

700
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: so they he's got to have that kind of day.

701
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: He's as difficult to stop.

702
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: He's a smooth, powerful runner and just glides past guys,

703
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: but he also breaks a lot of tackles. Alva Kamara

704
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: is the best back the Texans will have faced this year,

705
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: and I worry about that because the tackling has gotten better.

706
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: But I still worry about a guy that's two hundred

707
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: and fifteen pounds with that sort of smooth, a billion

708
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: run game, but has such great hands, such great moves

709
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: to get open.

710
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: I worry about Kamara.

711
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: A lot, a lot, all right, Number two, where's the

712
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: pressure now? The Texans did not have a sack on

713
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: Desmondrinter last week, and the only few hits they got

714
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: A couple of them came from Will Anderson Junior. One

715
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: came from Blake Cashman when he blitzed and the Falcons

716
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: did pick it up. And that's why I kind of

717
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: expected the Texans to blitz a little bit more on

718
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: that final drive because the Falcons didn't pick it up

719
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: when Cashman blitzed that one time you get rid of

720
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: right in the ribs.

721
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: That's what Derek Carr is gonna need to see.

722
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: The Saints are giving up about three and a half

723
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: sacks per game and Texans can't walk out of there

724
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: with less than three sacks.

725
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: They can't.

726
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: They have to have incessant pressure on Derek Carr. He

727
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: doesn't move around as well as.

728
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: He used to. He can still move, but not like

729
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: he used to. So they've got to get after him.

730
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: They got to show him different looks and they got

731
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: to get the third down where they can create some

732
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: pressure with some different and exotic looks.

733
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: And they haven't been to get the third down and long.

734
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: To be able to do that that they have to

735
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: do so pressure producing sacks, rush and coverage working together.

736
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: Where's the pressure. It's got to be Sunday against the

737
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: Saints and then three Olavy. Oh, I hope you like

738
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: my singing, but it's christl. Lava.

739
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty two, he was wide receiver one

740
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: for me and the NFL draft. I loved him and

741
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: I still do. And I hate it when we've got

742
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: to face a guy that I really like. I love

743
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: a Lobby so smooth, such a great route runner, physical tough. Now,

744
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: last week you only had two catches with twelve yards,

745
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 2: but one of them is for a touchdowns.

746
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: Found an open spot in the back of the end

747
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: zone and there you go. One thing. They really haven't.

748
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: Gotten to a Lobby or some deep deep balls, and

749
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: I got a feeling that they're gonna try and take

750
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: some deep shots against the Texans kind of loosen.

751
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: Them up for Kamara in the run game.

752
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: So I think a Lobby is gonna be a little

753
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: bit more of a deep shot candidate. He's got such

754
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: great hands, such great ball tracking that worries me. So

755
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: with Kamara and with a Lobby, the key is to

756
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: getting that pressure to force throws to either one of

757
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: those to be very very difficult.

758
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's slip it over.

759
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: You talk about this top five defense in the NFL

760
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: rushing yards the rushing yards allowed, the Saints are ninety

761
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: one point six yards per game, is tenth in the NFL.

762
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: And I had a little type on my know your faue.

763
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: They give up one hundred and eighty three yards per

764
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: game through the air. That's not fifty fourth, that's fifth.

765
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: And total offense allowed per game is two seventy five

766
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: yards per game.

767
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: That's fourth in the NFL. They're loaded with names you've

768
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: heard about heard from before. Cameron Jordan pro bowler, to

769
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: Mario Davis pro bowler, Marshawn Lattimore, Tyron Matthew, You've heard

770
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: all those names before. But they're deep. They can go

771
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: pretty deep. Now, let's talk about these linebacker crewer. That's

772
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: number one key here, dynamic duo. At the beginning of

773
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: the year, I thought the Ravens combination Rokwan Smith and

774
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen and Baltimore Raves is gonna be the best

775
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: one of the Texans. Saw well, I think it still is.

776
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: But the Mario Davis and Pete Warner really compliment each

777
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: other very very well. And the Texas have got to

778
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: get hats on linebackers this week in the run game.

779
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: If they want to get the run game going, they

780
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: obviously have to control the down four, but they have

781
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: to get hats on linebackers. If they don't, Davis and

782
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: Warner are gonna have double digit tackles and the Texans

783
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: will have run for forty eight yards again or something

784
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: like that. They can't do that.

785
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: The Texans have to run the ball, So they've got

786
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: to control the front. But they got to block those

787
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: two linebackers, and they are active. They are all over

788
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 2: the place, whether it's blitzen or coverage. They're really good

789
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: in coverage. They're great leaders to Mario Davis and Pete

790
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: Warner are probably the most unsung hero or unsung duo

791
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: of linebackers in this league.

792
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: Now, Texans got to control those guys. No question Number two,

793
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: I call it we meet again. Yes, Tyron Matthew.

794
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: We've played against him a few times as he's on

795
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: the other side of things.

796
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: When he was with the Cardinals in seventeen.

797
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: Then he came to Texas in eighteen and that was awesome,

798
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: and I loved him being at locker room.

799
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: I loved him on the squad. But then he went

800
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: to Kansas City. They faced him at twenty nineteen.

801
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: To face him in twenty twenty, he's since moved to

802
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 2: New Orleans and now we've got to see him again.

803
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: He's not as what's the right word. He's not as

804
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: explosive and twitchy as he was when he was younger,

805
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: but he's got more savvy smarts, understands almost like he

806
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: kind of preserves himself to make those plays. And that's

807
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: what he's done.

808
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: He's a step ahead of the game every single time.

809
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: And he caught a tip pass from mac Jones, took

810
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 2: to the house, gave a Sants a seven to nothing

811
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: lead against the Patriots, and him look back.

812
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: So how do you account for him? That isn't easy.

813
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: That is not easy. And I don't know if there's

814
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: a singular plan other than hey, where's thirty two? He's

815
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna show you some disguises. Maybe use some different cadence

816
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: counts to get him to show some disguises. But you

817
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: gotta know where he is at all times. And he

818
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: is going to read CJ. Stroud's as like a hawk.

819
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: Jesse Bates did last week. Tyron Matthew's gonna do it

820
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: this week and last is certainly not least is the rookie,

821
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: and the rookie is not c J. Stroud or anybody

822
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: on the Texans, even there are a lot of rookies.

823
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Is Brian Berzy, defensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints.

824
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: In that preseason game, Brian Brazil gave it to everybody,

825
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: shack Mason Keny Green, he gave it to everybody. He

826
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: threw that spin move on dudes, and he got free

827
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: to the quarterbacks. Now he won't start, I don't think,

828
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: but he will come into the game. And when he

829
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: comes in, he's fresh, and he's coming in on passing

830
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: down and he is gonna run rough shot of the

831
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: Texans interior doesn't handle him or know how to handle him.

832
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna use that spin move. He's gonna be quick

833
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: and over the top with his arm over. You're gonna

834
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: have to double him, get a good shot on him

835
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: and slow him down. If you give him momentum and

836
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: he's spinning and spinning and he's ripping and he's going

837
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: arm over, you're in trouble and that can't happen. You

838
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: can't have any of these Saints NCDA shrouds face. He's

839
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: got to be able to get the ball off in

840
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: that front's gotta be able to do its job and

841
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: doing its job means stopping or slowing down. Brian Brazi,

842
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: all right, those are your keys to a win over

843
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints.

844
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: When we get back, it's Chris Myers time, not Texans

845
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: Center Chris Myers. Chris Myers, a Fox's calling this game

846
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 2: on Sunday Withdrew that's next on Texans Access.

852
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 1: an l last week in Atlanta. That was tough.

853
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 2: We're old for Atlanta and the Texans history, but we

854
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: are not all for Houston when it comes to the Saints.

855
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 2: Two and oh one in two thousand and seven, also

856
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: one in twenty fifteen, and hopefully we will do it eight.

857
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Years after the fact and do it at twenty twenty three.

00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 2: Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Now, a guy that

864
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 2: we've really grown to like between the two of us,

865
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: Mark vandermir and myself is Matt Burke, and we've been

866
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: having the opportunity each every Friday to catch up with

867
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: one of the coordinators and this week it is the Dartmouth.

868
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: Grad and you'll here in this.

869
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: As we talked with coach, he gave me a little

870
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 2: bit of the business because I was wearing some brown

871
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 2: university gears sporting my university coach wasn't having that with me.

872
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: And Mark. Here we go.

873
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: We welcome into the hun Day Texans radio studio. Defensive

874
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: coordinator Matt Burke, coach, how's it going going? Well, how

875
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: are you guys doing?

876
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: Great?

877
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: New week, new challenge. The New Orleans Saints come in.

878
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: So the Pete Carmichael offense?

879
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: What is it?

880
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: Is it the Sean Payton offense? We're hearing it's very similar,

881
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 3: if not the same thing.

882
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: How do you describe it?

883
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 12: You know, yeah, similar obviously you know everyone you know

884
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 12: he was with Sean for a long time and in

885
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 12: that system and that offense. Uh, you know, I think,

886
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 12: like all of us, you kind of add your own

887
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 12: tweaks and and how they utilize their personnel and those

888
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 12: sort of things.

889
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 11: But I would say the foundation of it.

890
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Is similar with the Saints.

891
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 12: I can't take this guy seriously with the brown stuff

892
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 12: on here man.

893
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go. Okay, full disclosure, full disclosure. We

894
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't find out we were getting you as the interview

895
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: until earlier early might I put this on now that

896
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: you said that, now I'm glad I'm wearing.

897
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 2: I am glad that I'm wearing it. Dartmouth graduate right

898
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: next to me, Matt Burke. With the Saints, what does

899
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara bring to him that maybe they didn't have

900
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: the first three games when he was out.

901
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: What does he bring him back to that offense?

902
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean everything I think you saw, like the

903
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 12: first game back he had fourteen targets or something. So

904
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 12: obviously the run game, you know, he's talented in there,

905
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 12: he's a decisive runner. And then in the past game

906
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 12: as well, you know, you can't can't kive a lot

907
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 12: of air, a lot of space in those realms, like

908
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 12: he can take a check down and go so obviously

909
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 12: as he kind of works his way back in more

910
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 12: and more like that's a he's a good weapon for them,

911
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 12: you know, in both I would say that's the sort

912
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 12: of thing to me with with Kamara, he's a good runner,

913
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 12: but then also adds another element to their past game.

914
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 3: This is a basic question, but I have to ask it.

915
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: How difficult is it to decide whether to send extra

916
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 3: people after the quarterback or hang back cover? And I

917
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 3: guess it depends on game situation and those kinds of things, coach,

918
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: but that's got to be a tough thing to call.

919
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, it's you know again, like I would say,

920
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 12: like the preparation helps you all those things. I mean,

921
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 12: you're taking into account all that down and distance, game situation, clock,

922
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 12: their personnel, your personnel, like what you want to do,

923
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 12: what you did last time? You know, it's a real

924
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 12: time like in game. Okay, hey we've blitzed a couple

925
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 12: of times. Do we want to go more? Do you

926
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 12: want to pull back? Do we want to show them

927
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 12: this and do something else? Like that's the sort of

928
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 12: back and forth and you're trying to also, you know,

929
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 12: at the same time, sort of real time what their

930
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 12: tendencies are with how they're changing. I mean, they're doing

931
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 12: the same thing across the field. So that's the back

932
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 12: and forth. It's a lot of data to sort of

933
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 12: keep track of, I would say, and that's kind of

934
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 12: part of the game. It's kind of the fun strategy

935
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 12: part of things.

936
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 1: When it gets to the preparation part. We talked about

937
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: Kamara a second ago. How do you try and simulate

938
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: him or someone like Michael Thomas or a player like

939
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: Jeon Robinson last week? Is there any way to try

940
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: and simulate those type players or is it more you

941
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: have to just discuss the plan and putting it, Like

942
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: you talked about not giving him space practicing those sort

943
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: of things as opposed to well, we can't give you

944
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: a true facsimilate what you're gonna see.

945
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, it's never one hundred actively from that

946
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 11: point of you.

947
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 12: Obviously, the scout team, these guys, we do a great

948
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 12: job here with like trying to give the looks that

949
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 12: we're trying to, you know, manufacture and put our guys

950
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 12: on defense in those spots. But there is the element

951
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 12: of more like, hey, this is how they like to

952
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 12: get him the ball, or this is how he likes

953
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 12: to do this, right, So you got to simulate that

954
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 12: part of it as much as possible. Maybe like the

955
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 12: actual body on body thing isn't going to be exact,

956
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 12: but you know, you do your best to try to

957
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 12: like explain where like put your defensive guy in the

958
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 12: position he's going to be in on that guy, and

959
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 12: then after that it's kind of up to those guys

960
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 12: to finish it off.

961
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: How do you coach the Scout team.

962
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: I know they work up those cards to run the plays,

963
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 3: but how do you want them to work it? And

964
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: do you want them to really try to beat the

965
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 3: defense or to slow it down a little bit just

966
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: so we can get a look at what it's.

967
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: Going to be.

968
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 12: Like yeah, no, I would say, Like the again philosophy

969
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 12: here is just to you know, challenge our guys and

970
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 12: and look those guys. What we try to do here

971
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 12: are two things, like we actually meet with the Scout

972
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 12: team guys that and show them some of the stuff.

973
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 12: If there's something on tape, like hey, this is a

974
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 12: look we really need to see. It's specific to like

975
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 12: what New Orleans does, Like can you kind of like

976
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 12: simulate that a little bit? But at the same time,

977
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 12: like you know, sometimes that's those guys ops for work,

978
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 12: you know, for them to get better, and we try

979
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 12: to put if there's plays that are similar to either

980
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 12: our offense or defense, we try to put it in

981
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 12: our language so that like, hey, this is just like

982
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 12: our play call this, So now they're getting a rep

983
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,479
Speaker 12: for them to get better at their work.

984
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 11: Also, you know what I mean.

985
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 12: So there's you know, you know, you don't want guys

986
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 12: that are just here to practice. You want to develop

987
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 12: those guys. And too, we've seen those guys have to

988
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 12: play for you at some point and step in when

989
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 12: there's injuries or whatever's going on. So we try to

990
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 12: also like kind of put it as close we can

991
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 12: into some of our language and plays that we're doing,

992
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 12: so they're kind of getting work at stuff that we

993
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 12: do as well.

994
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: Man. Last week, going into the Falcons, there's a lot

995
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: of talk about the Falcons.

996
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna run for a bunch of yards. You know,

997
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 2: Texas not being great in the run defense. But the

998
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 2: run defense was really really good, it seemed watching it

999
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 2: with our layman's eyes, what you saw from the run defense?

1000
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: What was it? How to look? Did it look better

1001
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: from the week before. I know there's probably still some

1002
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: more things you want to do to it and fix it.

1003
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: But what did you think of the run defense over

1004
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: against the Falcons. Yeah, I always you know, always chance

1005
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: to clean things up. But I thought they did a

1006
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: really good job. Was probably the best facet of our

1007
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: game last week.

1008
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 12: They were a really good run team. That's a really

1009
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 12: good run offense. Arthur Smith does a good job. The

1010
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 12: back's really talented, a really good old line. So I

1011
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 12: thought it started up front with us. Really our edge

1012
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 12: guys were just setting edges. Again, it's a it's a

1013
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 12: predominantly outside zone sort of stretch team, you know, so

1014
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 12: it starts with setting edge. If you don't if you

1015
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 12: don't hold the edge and they can get around it,

1016
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 12: then you're gonna be in for long day. So you

1017
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 12: know that first play the game JG. You know, knocking

1018
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 12: the edge back about four yards and stuff. And then

1019
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 12: the second element of that is always sort of pursued

1020
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 12: from the backside, and you know, to me goes vision

1021
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 12: of swarming and stuff, so you know, getting hats to

1022
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 12: the ball. So you know, when you set edges on

1023
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 12: the front side of a play, like, you still need

1024
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 12: bodies getting to the point of attack. So I thought

1025
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 12: those two things probably worked hand in hand as best

1026
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 12: as it's been all year for US. We set good

1027
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 12: edges on the front side, and we really closed from

1028
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 12: the backside and made a lot of plays you saw,

1029
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 12: Like I said, that first play, JG sets the age

1030
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 12: and will closes all the way from the backside end

1031
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 12: to make a tackle for TfL. So I thought that

1032
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 12: sort of like union, was probably the best we've had

1033
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 12: all year.

1034
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 3: Defensive coordinator Matt Burke with US zone coverage, I gotta

1035
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: think that's tough to coach because you have all right

1036
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 3: a zone defense, but.

1037
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: You still have to cover the guy.

1038
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 3: So how hard is it to deliver that message and

1039
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 3: get them to do that on the fly as you

1040
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 3: need it.

1041
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think again it depends on what zones you're playing.

1042
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 12: There are zones. There are zone coverages that are matchup

1043
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 12: oriented that are kind of you're focused on the routes

1044
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 12: and trying to within your zone matchup routes that show up.

1045
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 12: There are other coverages that are more visual that are

1046
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 12: just sort of like get to your spot and then

1047
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 12: break on the ball and those sort of things. So

1048
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 12: it kind of depends on what type of zones you

1049
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 12: want to play. And again, similar do you want to

1050
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 12: give guys more space. Do you want to force checkdowns

1051
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 12: and have guys with vision tracking and tackling down there.

1052
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 12: Do you want to get a little bit stickier even

1053
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 12: though you're in zone not man, do you want.

1054
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 11: To be more sticky?

1055
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 12: So I would actually think that's kind of having sort

1056
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 12: of both of those types of coverages as hard. Like

1057
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 12: guys have to remember, hey, this is a vision defense.

1058
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 12: We're not worried about matching a route per se versus, Hey,

1059
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 12: get your eyes to the routes on this one, because

1060
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 12: we do want you to go over there. So you know,

1061
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 12: understanding like the type of the sort of category of

1062
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 12: coverage that we're playing in zones and what we're trying

1063
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 12: to get out of it is probably the biggest part

1064
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 12: of like working through with like younger players, especially coach.

1065
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: I always think about this when I'm watching games and I'm.

1066
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 6: Like, ooh, I like that.

1067
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: I liked that blitz scheme, I like that that coverage,

1068
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: I like how they did that. When that happens for

1069
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: you and you kind of jot it down on a napkin,

1070
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: are you thinking about but we can't use this because

1071
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't really fit our system?

1072
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 2: Do you look at it and go, well, we can

1073
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: incorporate that some way, somehow in our system, but we.

1074
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: Got to tweak it this way. How do you kind

1075
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: of look at your plays on a napkin as you're

1076
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: watching a game or seeing something you.

1077
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 11: Like, Yeah, probably more of the ladder.

1078
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 12: First of all, we have iPads now, but yeah, so

1079
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 12: I would say the ladder if you see something like, again,

1080
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 12: we have there's a certain structure of our defense and

1081
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 12: generally how we operate, but we have again, we have

1082
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 12: tools and mechanisms to manipulate those things. So if there's

1083
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 12: an easy way, like a lot of times you're watching stuff,

1084
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 12: especially say you're watching opponent something that's been successful against

1085
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 12: them in the past, or you're like, oh that's cool,

1086
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 12: how can I put this into our language or into

1087
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 12: our structure. Okay, maybe it's not identical, but we can

1088
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 12: get the same effect if we line up the way

1089
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 12: we line up and then do it this way. So

1090
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 12: a lot of times that's it's a lot of times

1091
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 12: it's so that's sort of like reverse engineering saying, I

1092
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 12: like this pressure, how does that fit into how we

1093
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 12: call it in our language and our structure?

1094
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 11: And then can we can we execute that.

1095
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 12: So that's pretty common, pretty weak to week, like trying

1096
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 12: to borrow idea.

1097
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, my brow.

1098
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 3: One more important thing, how do you feel about Liverpool's progress?

1099
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 11: Man, We've had some tough calls. Man.

1100
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 12: I'm I don't want to get into the whole var

1101
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 12: discussion right now, but uh, it's been a tough stretch

1102
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 12: to schedule, man, but I feel we're in a good spot.

1103
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 12: We're gonna we're gonna make our push right here.

1104
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 3: Okay, good, all right, we'll follow their progress. Coach, thanks

1105
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 3: a lot, good luck this week.

1106
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 11: I appreciate it.

1107
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't get into the fact that my Premier

1108
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: Soccer League team has won Oh I don't know, uh

1109
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: won everything last year. In won five out of last

1110
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: six Premier League titles and the only one that coaches

1111
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: team got Liverpool has only won one in that same timeframe.

1112
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 13: Hmm.

1113
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, my Premier League soccer team, man city getting it done.

1114
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: Not not at number one on the table right now,

1115
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 2: but they'll catch fire again.

1116
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: They'll be there. They'll get kad b back.

1117
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 2: But coach is a big Liverpool fan, so I had

1118
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 2: to give him some grief there as he was walking

1119
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: out of our interview. But I appreciate coach for stopping by.

1120
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 2: He's fantastic and love having him on. All right, we

1121
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: get back. Drew Doherty catches up with Chris Myers. Not

1122
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: Texans former center Chris Myers. Chris Myers, who called the

1123
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 2: game for Fox. He's one of the most interesting individuals

1124
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 2: in sports media. He has done it all, seen it all,

1125
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: and he is fantastic. And Drew kind of did a

1126
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 2: little bit of a pseudo Drew's Dozen with him as

1127
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: they talked about the Texans game against the Saints that

1128
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 2: they'll be calling.

1129
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: So let's catch up with Chris Myers and Drew Doerty

1130
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: next right here in Texans All Access. We got one

1131
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: our down, one hour left to go. Right here on

1132
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: a Friday, Nation of the Texans All Access. Appreciate you

1133
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: being here with me, Sean Harris football on a sideline reporter.

1134
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: And it's signed for Chris Myers. Like I said, not

1135
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: Texans former center Chris Myers, but Chris Myers and Fox.

1136
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 2: One of the more interesting guys. Remember that do Aquise

1137
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: dos like Gise commercial most interesting man in the world.

1138
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 2: I think the most interesting man in media might be

1139
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 2: Chris Myers. First of all, he's got tremendous pipes, but

1140
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: he's done a lot in his career. Drew Doherty talked

1141
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 2: with him about a lot of it, and of course

1142
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: they talked about this one against the Saints.

1143
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 7: Chris Myers of Fox Sports, he's got to call this

1144
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 7: Sunday Saints at Texans. It's the third game you've done

1145
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 7: now covering the Texans this year doing the play by play.

1146
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 7: You've seen a progression, you called a loss, you called

1147
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 7: a win, and now a few weeks later, what stands

1148
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 7: out to you the most about the progress of this

1149
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 7: team and the progress of this this whole program that

1150
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 7: Demiguo Ryans is running.

1151
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean two things jump out.

1152
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 15: I mean I don't know what I expected right away

1153
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 15: when they lost that that opener or that early game

1154
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 15: that we did, but I thought the defense would be better.

1155
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 15: I knew they had a lot of injuries, and the

1156
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 15: defense has gotten better. I mean there are top top

1157
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 15: ten or right close to that in terms of rankings,

1158
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 15: and you can see the improvement. And part of that

1159
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 15: is getting the right people healthy. Of course, so that

1160
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 15: jumps out. But the biggest thing, too, is is CJ Stroud.

1161
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 15: I mean I thought he'd be good I thought it'd

1162
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 15: be okay, and again with a beat up offensive line,

1163
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 15: lack of them running him all these things.

1164
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 14: I mean it's impressive.

1165
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 15: I know, the yardage, no interceptions and touchdowns, but how

1166
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 15: he's in the games. We saw the accuracy, the ballplacement,

1167
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 15: the different kinds of passes, whether it needs to fire one,

1168
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 15: you know, air it out, long, float one, short, touch whatever,

1169
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 15: connecting with his with his receivers, and just in talking

1170
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 15: to him and listening to his move we didn't do

1171
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 15: their games. His news conferences or press conferences have stood out.

1172
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 15: You really got a franchise quarterback. I mean, I know

1173
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 15: it's early and a lot can change, but he has

1174
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 15: it on the field physically, which you know some people

1175
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 15: concerned about, and then the mental part of it. He

1176
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 15: seems to be gobbling that up and working to get better.

1177
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 15: So those those are encouraging signs.

1178
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I want to stick with that because you've got

1179
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 7: a really unique perspective on things in that regard. You've

1180
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 7: been in all these production meetings before a game where

1181
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 7: you interview the guys and they give you a little

1182
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 7: bit more than they would the regular media, and then

1183
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 7: you made a living in the late nineties as an

1184
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 7: interviewer with huge personalities, I mean from the sporting world

1185
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 7: and externally. So what have you picked up when you've

1186
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 7: talked to him, when you've had that kind of more

1187
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 7: intimate time with c J. Stroud, when you're in these

1188
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 7: production meetings, knowing what you've seen over the last thirty

1189
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 7: forty years as a journalist.

1190
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, and I'm not comparing him to these guys, but

1191
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 15: I know, right, Yeah, And he finally admitted it this week.

1192
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 14: It's funny, Drue.

1193
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 15: He admitted, Hey, I'm a perfectionist. You know, sometimes it's

1194
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 15: not easy, and that's something Troy Aikman, I was there

1195
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 15: in the draft room when he was selected, worked alongside

1196
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 15: of him, covered his games, interviewed him. Jerry Rice is

1197
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 15: another one. They were perfectionists and obviously they had skill

1198
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 15: and they had other things, but boy, that jumps out

1199
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 15: at you. And when somebody has obviously he's got the

1200
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 15: arm and the physical size c J. Stroud, So it

1201
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 15: was interesting to see that almost meticulous about things sometimes

1202
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 15: that can annoy people sometimes. And he said he'll push

1203
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 15: himself and that's what you do. I remember Jerry Rice

1204
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 15: telling me, I line up. This is even after his

1205
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 15: you know a decade Super Bowls that you've said, I

1206
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 15: line up, I don't care who the corner is across

1207
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 15: from me, and I have to remind myself in this game,

1208
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 15: in this moment, I haven't done anything yet.

1209
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 14: You know. It's like, wow, you really still do that.

1210
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 15: And he was saying that. So I don't know if CJ.

1211
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 15: Stroud has all that, but CJ's got some of that.

1212
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 15: And that's one of the things, the little personality things

1213
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 15: that I always enjoy looking for when I interview athletes

1214
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 15: in no longer format, our coaches were commissioners, what owners

1215
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 15: of teams, So that's an intangible to jump out. It's

1216
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 15: funny when we had him the first it was the

1217
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 15: second game going into Jacksonville, which was a terrific performance

1218
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 15: all the way around for the team, but out saying

1219
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 15: I think I think I said in the direction mean

1220
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 15: a little bit about hey, you know, you really don't

1221
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 15: run much and you know, and the analyst said, Robert

1222
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 15: Smith said, well, he didn't do that at Ohio State,

1223
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 15: and he kind of said, you know, we don't do

1224
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 15: that here.

1225
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 14: He don't want to do it.

1226
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 15: Not that he's a running quarterback, but I thought in

1227
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 15: some cases you see guys, you know, just get that

1228
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 15: extra whether it's a Baker Mayfield, what he does for Tampa,

1229
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 15: and then I'm seeing a little more of that, believe

1230
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 15: it or not. Not that I'm taking credit for it,

1231
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 15: but I think he's like that, I've proven myself as

1232
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 15: a pastor. I know people don't have to doubt me there,

1233
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 15: so I'm going to do and this is the attitude

1234
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 15: do whatever it takes to win, which is which is

1235
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 15: really where he's at. So that's one of the things

1236
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 15: that's kind of jumped out of me.

1237
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's very judicious.

1238
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 7: What you bring up running the ball when he does

1239
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 7: Tucket and use his legs. Hey, this Saints defense, it's

1240
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 7: it's pretty rugged. It's done a nice job through five.

1241
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 7: I mean they blank the Patriots up in Foxborough last week.

1242
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 7: Cam Jordan he's one of those guys. Maybe he has

1243
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 7: a yellowjacket someday. But what do you see from this

1244
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 7: defense as a whole That is going to present some

1245
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 7: challenges for Stroudy offense.

1246
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's going to be.

1247
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 15: They put a lot of pressure on They really should

1248
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 15: have beaten Green Bay. I mean, their their defense had

1249
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 15: a little bit of a lapse Derek Carr got hurt

1250
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 15: in that game. They had a late field goal that

1251
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 15: their young kicker missed. So I know theres could have,

1252
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 15: could have, would have, should and where the Texans can

1253
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 15: say that. So I did their game where they lost

1254
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 15: at home to the Buccaneers, and that was when Carr

1255
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 15: came off that ac joint injury. He really wanted to play.

1256
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 15: They said, okay, you could tell he wasn't one hundred percent.

1257
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 15: He toughed it out trying to help his team. He

1258
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 15: just didn't look like sharp. But the Alvin Kamemra and

1259
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 15: they didn't have him in the first three games, has

1260
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 15: really shown up, especially last week for them on offense,

1261
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 15: but defensively, I think that's their strength. And the reason

1262
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 15: I bring that up because Car said, I can play

1263
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 15: differently as a quarterback knowing I have this kind of

1264
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 15: defense which is full of veterans who know how to

1265
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 15: handle things. And I think third or fourth in the

1266
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 15: league in terms of points allowed so far. They played

1267
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 15: Dennis Allen's scheme very well. He was the coordinator there

1268
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 15: before taking over as the head coach last year. Marshaun Lattimore,

1269
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 15: you mentioned Cam Jordan. I think they have some linebackers

1270
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 15: that are very active and understand so it's going to

1271
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 15: be a challenge. They do play, and this will be

1272
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 15: interesting to watch, depending upon the health of Tank Dell,

1273
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 15: who we've enjoyed when he came on the scene and

1274
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 15: hope he can return soon. But they do play a

1275
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 15: little more man demand, at least they have, and so

1276
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 15: I'm curious. You know, there's a lot of that going

1277
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 15: on around the NFL, only in situation, so I think

1278
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 15: that might create some interesting matchups or opportunities for CJ

1279
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 15: and the offense in this.

1280
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 7: You know, you were here a couple of weeks ago

1281
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 7: when the Texans hosted the Steelers, and I think it's

1282
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 7: safe to say that was a fifty to fifty crowd.

1283
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 7: Texans fans Steelers fans. Steelers have always traveled well since

1284
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 7: the seventies, winning all those Super Bowls. Now, you worked

1285
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 7: as a broadcaster in New Orleans in the eighties when

1286
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 7: times were pretty lean. Now, by the end of your

1287
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 7: tenure there, they go to the playoffs. You had the

1288
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 7: Dome patrol working. But did you ever think the Saints

1289
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 7: fans would travel the way they do. There's going to

1290
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 7: be a big contingent of them maybe not as many

1291
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 7: as the Steelers fans, but it's going to be close

1292
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 7: because there's a lot of former New Orleans, New Orleanians

1293
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 7: living in the city. It's close to Louisiana, so on

1294
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 7: and so forth. But what have you thought about that

1295
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 7: growth of Saints Nation?

1296
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 6: I suppose over the years.

1297
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 14: Yeah, I was that.

1298
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 15: You're talking way back at the early years in local

1299
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 15: TV before I got to ESPN and then Fox, when yeah,

1300
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 15: I was working for the CBS. Those were the bags

1301
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 15: over the heads, the winless they had never yeah, the eights,

1302
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,959
Speaker 15: they never had a winning season until Jim Mora showed

1303
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 15: up the senior right and then with able to get

1304
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 15: them into the playoffs. And then later it was Sean Payton.

1305
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 15: It's still amazing to me, by the way the Saints

1306
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 15: with Drew Brees and all his success. In Sean Payton,

1307
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 15: they went to one, went to and won, but went

1308
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 15: to one super Bowl. It's a little bit like Aaron Rodgers,

1309
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 15: right and his in his Packer era.

1310
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 14: It's just funny.

1311
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 15: He just tells you the opportunities you know when you

1312
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,479
Speaker 15: have them and you have a good team. But yes,

1313
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 15: the growth of the Saints over the years, it's a

1314
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 15: very loyal fan base. You hear that a lot about teams.

1315
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 15: And your question about traveling, I think you hit on it.

1316
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 15: It's the proximity, you know. And even when I was there,

1317
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 15: Peop would drive back and forth. It was like a

1318
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 15: five hour driving in the I ten with through parts

1319
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 15: of Louisiana into Houston. But after Hurricane Katrina and a

1320
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 15: lot of homes and neighborhoods were wiped out, people relocated

1321
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 15: into that you know, Houston area, and you know, I

1322
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 15: knew of people who sent and then they liked it

1323
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 15: in Houston and they were able to bring a little

1324
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 15: of their Cajun flavor and cooking and Marty Gront type thing.

1325
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 15: So they've already got a little bit of a base there,

1326
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 15: whether they brought their Saints roots and have it latch

1327
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 15: down to their new home team, the Texans or not.

1328
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 15: But we also do travel well, and what I called

1329
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 15: other games, especially in the in that NFC South with Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa,

1330
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 15: there always is a and they turn it into a party,

1331
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 15: just like they do.

1332
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 14: When you play in the New Orleans Superdome.

1333
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 15: That has to be frustrating for a home team, but

1334
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 15: you know, I'm sure Demiko ryans the players, and they

1335
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 15: have this in Arizona, the Rams, so you know, have

1336
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 15: a super Bowl in LA right there. It's twenty years

1337
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 15: without an NFL team. Every time they play, if it's

1338
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 15: a Packers or Eagles or a forty nine, they get

1339
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 15: a big crowd rooting against them. So the biggest way

1340
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 15: to change that is to win successfully and create your own,

1341
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 15: your own stars, your own success with your home team,

1342
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 15: and then that may alter things a little bit. But

1343
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 15: but and I think you know, this is better than

1344
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 15: I thought for Huston, not just CJ. Stroup, but some

1345
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 15: of the other draft picks. And there's a lot of

1346
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 15: us around the league that they're fans of Demiico. Ryan's

1347
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 15: the kind of guy he is, kind of coach.

1348
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 7: He is, no doubt there's many of them here in

1349
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 7: the building as well. All right, let's veer off course.

1350
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 7: We had a lot of fun talking with you, all

1351
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 7: the stuff you've done in your career. I got a

1352
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 7: nice question from our play by play voice Mark Vanner.

1353
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 7: He wants to know when you were a Sports Center

1354
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 7: anchor those This is Sports Center commercials, some of the

1355
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 7: best TV of all time, What was your most This

1356
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 7: Is Sports Center actual moment when you were working there,

1357
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 7: Like you know, they joke around and they have the

1358
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 7: mascots doing paperwork. I mean, what did you see when

1359
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 7: you were in those offices.

1360
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 6: Up there that was like, Oh, this is kind of

1361
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 6: like those commercials we make.

1362
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 15: There's some funny stuff. I well, I'll be a little

1363
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 15: bit of a inside information. Before they hired out it

1364
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 15: was the group that I believe did the Nike the

1365
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 15: early Nike spots, and I forget I must say Widen

1366
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 15: and Kennedy or something like that. That's who has been

1367
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 15: hired to do those. From what I remember to do

1368
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 15: those Sports Center spots, but the very first two were

1369
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 15: done by Dan Patrick and I and they were kind

1370
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 15: of home cooked and they were kind of they weren't called.

1371
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 14: They evolved from this is.

1372
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 15: Sports Center to I'm on Sports Center, I'm in the

1373
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 15: game with sports or something like that. And mine was

1374
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 15: a guy catching a pass and he runs to me

1375
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 15: in the middle of the and and I forget how

1376
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 15: we did it when it was shot way early and

1377
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 15: they only ran a little bit before they changed the eye.

1378
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 15: Yet I forget the one that that Dan Patrick had.

1379
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 15: So they were really clever. But as far as the

1380
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 15: actual moment. Gosh, there's uh, there's quite a few. I

1381
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 15: think the biggest thing was, remember they started out it

1382
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 15: was kind of a cable operation ESPN that people didn't

1383
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 15: know or believe in, or trust or whatever. They didn't

1384
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 15: get it on their on their cable system. With a

1385
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 15: lot of people have grown up and it's automatic with

1386
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 15: ESPN too and ESPN Plus. But when you would go

1387
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 15: out and run into uh star athletes or coaches who

1388
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 15: would hear and they would say, hey, I am they

1389
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 15: would quote what you guys, what we said on Sports

1390
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 15: Center in the early years, you go, wow, this to me,

1391
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 15: that's that registers for people? Really are you know, yeah,

1392
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 15: there's an audience with sports fans. But well, when a

1393
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 15: head coach of a college basketball team or Frank Robinson

1394
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 15: Hall of Fame player who is managing back at the time,

1395
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 15: at first he joked his ESPN is that a cable

1396
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 15: chess a Spanish channel? No, I know, it's why I

1397
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 15: watch you guy whatever? Uh, And then comments that you

1398
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 15: would make and kids at colleges or universities watching late

1399
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 15: night Sports Center would put up signs that kind of

1400
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 15: you know, you're connecting with your audience. It's to me

1401
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 15: that was probably was a sports center moment. Good question though, Yeah.

1402
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you went from WWL, which is a it's

1403
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 7: the flagship station basically in New Orleans of TV. You

1404
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 7: went from there to Bristol, right, I mean, how how

1405
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 7: easy was that move? How how much were you doubting

1406
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 7: that move?

1407
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: Like?

1408
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 7: What was that like going through that process? Was that

1409
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 7: like eck, yeah I had a home run or what?

1410
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 14: Well?

1411
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 15: There was a move in between as ESCN was established,

1412
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 15: you know, and it was with ESPN were You're right?

1413
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 15: But it was they were trying to build up there.

1414
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 15: They didn't have any reporting bureaus, right, they just had

1415
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 15: the Sports Center in Connecticut and guys doing highlights it.

1416
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 15: So they had Jimmy Roberts starting in New York and

1417
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 15: they asked me, that's what was my first show? Would

1418
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 15: you be our West Coast correspondent at the move to

1419
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 15: LA and cover the West coast as a reporter. So

1420
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 15: it's given up a really good anchor position, well paid,

1421
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 15: and it wasn't really about the money, but but it

1422
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 15: was kind of not. I was like, yeah, you know,

1423
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 15: well covering the West coast, but I think I believed

1424
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 15: in where ESPN was going as a as a growing

1425
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 15: sports network and to cover to be able to cover

1426
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 15: sports on a national scale.

1427
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 14: So that was kind of a no brainer.

1428
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 15: And then I did that for a few years, happened

1429
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 15: to win an Emmy, and then that's when they said,

1430
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 15: we don't like to come back and anchor a sports center.

1431
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 14: And even though I enjoyed the West Coast and.

1432
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 15: The warmer weather since I'm originally from Florida, I was like, yeah, no,

1433
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 15: that's part of the advancing forward and that's where I

1434
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 15: got to do sports and for a few years before

1435
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 15: coming back to the West Coast in LA to do

1436
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 15: up close with Roy Firestone. So yeah, there's often little

1437
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 15: career tipping points and moves that you know, at first

1438
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 15: you start out in local TV saying I want to

1439
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 15: get to a bigger market, bigger market, that kind of thing,

1440
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 15: and then you then you see the growth of you know, wow, ESPN,

1441
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 15: it's all sports. I'm not going to be cut. You know,

1442
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 15: my my sports time on the local news isn't going

1443
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 15: to get cut because of a traffic jam, you know,

1444
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 15: on the highway. So because we're going to talk yeah,

1445
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 15: we're going to talk sports all the time. So that's

1446
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 15: kind of that's kind of what drew me in when

1447
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 15: they when that became a reality. And then since then,

1448
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 15: of course at NFL network a network for all sports, tennis,

1449
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 15: whatever you want, NBA, so it really has has changed

1450
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 15: in that regard.

1451
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 14: But yeah, that was a, you know, one of those

1452
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 14: career moves.

1453
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 15: And actually the agent, I guess the ESPN saw a

1454
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 15: tape that I did.

1455
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 14: It's funny you mentioned the Saints.

1456
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,479
Speaker 15: It was the Jim Moore coaching staff with the Saints

1457
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 15: that got them their first winning season. But none of

1458
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 15: the guys on the staff had ever Don Capris was

1459
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 15: one of them, had ever played in the NFL, and

1460
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 15: so that was a story idea of it's like, wow,

1461
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 15: these guys are doing well, but none of them played

1462
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 15: on the NFL. Was called I never played the game,

1463
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 15: the little feature and so yes saw that. I think

1464
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 15: I talked to him. I found an agent who said, yeah,

1465
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 15: they're interested, and it developed from there. So long answer,

1466
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 15: but you have the background.

1467
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 7: Son of a gun. Well that's really cool. Okay, were

1468
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 7: you all the way back?

1469
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 6: What's that said?

1470
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 14: When you told me your story? It's interesting.

1471
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 15: So it's funny where people land where they want to

1472
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 15: and how they find an avenue to do what you

1473
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 15: like to do. So real quarterback and there's always pathways

1474
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 15: if you stay in the game.

1475
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 7: What was the first time you went on air? And

1476
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 7: it was I mean, I know you probably did audition tapes,

1477
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 7: but when was the first actual on air experience for

1478
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 7: you before all that?

1479
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 14: Well, you mean, oh, you mean in local TV or yeah, yeah,

1480
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,959
Speaker 14: you're any TV. Okay, yeah, Well.

1481
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 15: I was doing a local radio in Miami and then

1482
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 15: that's how I kind of got hired, and I had

1483
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 15: to kind of put together I was still in college.

1484
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 15: I had to put together a reel, a hot area,

1485
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 15: had to say, so I had to use the junior

1486
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 15: college cameras and crew to sit at a desk and

1487
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 15: voice over highlights.

1488
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 14: Because the in the Miami community it's a big, big market.

1489
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 14: They were like, well, we know, you know sports.

1490
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 15: We hear you on the radio as a teenager or whatever,

1491
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 15: but now you're I think it was twenty at the time,

1492
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 15: twenty twenty one and I was still in college, but

1493
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 15: they're like, well, can you do TV? And so that

1494
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 15: kind of got me in the door to be on

1495
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 15: to get an audition and then do weekends for them

1496
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 15: in part time, so that I would say the rush

1497
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 15: of sports. What I like about sports, whether watching on

1498
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 15: TV or a as a fan, you in person, or

1499
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 15: and I didn't played a little bit in high school

1500
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 15: and stuff like that, but I knew it wasn't really good.

1501
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 15: But I still get that. I still get that same

1502
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 15: kind of rush when the light and the microphone comes

1503
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 15: on for us, you know, to broadcast it, whether if

1504
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 15: you and I talking, whether it's me calling a game,

1505
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 15: whether it's me interviewing somebody that has never gotten old.

1506
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 14: There's a lot to it.

1507
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 15: So I think that that kind of rush that I

1508
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 15: had as a as a young person, even talking on

1509
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 15: the radio about sports, well, people are listening and we're live.

1510
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 14: That's another big element.

1511
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 15: If you can be as live as you can, and

1512
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,439
Speaker 15: even if you're taping something that live to tape means

1513
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 15: means a lot. That kind of energy, that's kind of

1514
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 15: what that all felt like and still feels like in

1515
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 15: the variety of things that I end up have ended

1516
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 15: up covering and calling.

1517
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 6: All right, I get two more and then I'm setting

1518
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 6: you free, I promise.

1519
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 7: But you describe that rush, How does that rush when

1520
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 7: the light goes on compare to the rush I'm assuming

1521
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 7: you get when you're talking with or interviewing Bill Murray,

1522
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 7: because that's a unique individual, a sharp individual. I've heard

1523
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 7: he can be prickly pair at times. What's it like,

1524
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 7: rush wise comparing the two because you've been around him

1525
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 7: a little a time or two.

1526
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, Yeah, we've beg coup.

1527
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 15: You know, we've been you know, for work and situations

1528
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 15: the job that we've hung out and played golf and

1529
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 15: and gone to some concerts and some other things. And

1530
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 15: you know, he's been around my kids. I've been around

1531
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 15: his family and his brothers, and uh, they're they're they're

1532
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 15: a hoot. But you're always on the you hit on it.

1533
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 15: He could be boyet, very difficult, but he's very smart,

1534
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 15: very stude at a very knowledgeable sports fan. So you're

1535
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 15: kind of always on edge in a fun way because

1536
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 15: you're waiting for that line. Is he's because he's so smart?

1537
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 15: Is that a is that a really accurate observation that

1538
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 15: that's a you know, an overview or is that a funny,

1539
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 15: sarcastic type of thing, and is he going to do

1540
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 15: something even crazier? Just example, he calls me to plays

1541
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 15: out in La or a southern California. I said Hey,

1542
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 15: I got a tea time down at some where John

1543
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 15: Wayne had a house and back in the day, some golf.

1544
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 15: So I show up and there's four people. Somebody was

1545
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 15: an arrest from some dairy thing, another one was like

1546
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 15: a political and so we get to the car. So

1547
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 15: I don't know these people at all, but we get

1548
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 15: in and so Bill's thing is every like six holes,

1549
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 15: we all have to rotate, so you're in the cart

1550
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 15: with somebody different and move your clubs so you get

1551
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 15: to know them a little bit better as we're all,

1552
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 15: you know, golfing.

1553
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 14: And it was just kind of I'm like, why are

01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 14: we changing back?

1555
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 15: I don't know that for He's like, just you know,

1556
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 15: just ride and then by the end we all know

1557
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 15: each other better, right, And he can make jokes the

1558
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 15: whole time. So anyway he is, he's he's a really

1559
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 15: interested guy, uh and at a fascinating.

01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 14: Guy, talented guy.

1561
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 15: Uh and and I and I'm I'm really grateful for

1562
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 15: the years I got to know him, not just through

1563
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 15: sports but but but otherwise because he's been uh you know,

1564
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 15: I think I've told you before. He's he's often often

1565
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 15: giving me advice on sir. He'll call and say, I

1566
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 15: saw this interview with Derek. You you didn't ask this.

1567
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 14: You should have.

1568
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 15: You know, when I was doing the O. J. Simpson

1569
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 15: interview beforehand he heard I was going to do it.

1570
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 15: He called up, I don't if I told you this,

1571
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,959
Speaker 15: and he said, no, Hey, there's a there's a book

1572
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 15: you should read because he's you know, he's going to

1573
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 15: be a lot. It's called how to talk to your

1574
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 15: children so they'll listen, and how to listen so your

1575
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 15: children will talk to you something like that.

1576
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 7: I have it.

1577
01:05:57,640 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 14: It's an all paperback I had I dig up.

1578
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 15: And but it helped me, you know, with OJ because

1579
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 15: he's the lawyer said he believes his own lives and

1580
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 15: he's gonna spin it and make you look stupid. So

1581
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 15: it helped me handle that part of the interview. And

1582
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 15: that was all you know, Bill Murray observation. It's, yeah,

1583
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 15: there's a lot of those little things along the way.

1584
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 7: Now, that's a hell of a guy to have giving

1585
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 7: you advice because that's that's coming out of left field,

1586
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 7: but it's it was very prescient, and that's that's really cool.

1587
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1588
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 15: No, and that's how and that's how he is. And

1589
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 15: he'll say, hey, you know there's a job. Don't do

1590
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 15: anything just for money. Obviously you got to know financially

1591
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 15: take care of yourself, but you'll end up paying in

1592
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 15: different ways.

1593
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 14: It's not worth it.

1594
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 15: I mean, little things that just naturally come out in

1595
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 15: a count I'll say what do you think about this?

1596
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 14: Or covering that?

1597
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 15: And when I was hesitant when some people said you

1598
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 15: shouldn't do the OJ interview, he was like, absolutely, got

1599
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 15: to go, go do this.

1600
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 14: This is an opportunity to just just do it the

1601
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 14: best you can. So anyway, Yeah, he's an interesting guy,

1602
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 14: funny guy.

1603
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 7: All right, Well, going from the OJ interview discussion into this,

1604
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 7: well we'll finish with this very serious, hard hitting stuff.

1605
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 7: We're gonna rank the five Myers and they don't all

1606
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,000

Speaker 7: he came and actually he's a big Steelers fan. He

1613
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 7: was actually here for a Texans game way back in

1614
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 7: the day, and I interviewed him and the final one

1619
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,440

1620
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 15: and so were my brothers. So no, that's all right,

1621
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 15: it's still it's still rings out. I think it was

01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 15: even something on a school yearbook about Chris Oscar Meyer,

1623
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 15: you know. So it's like, we'll go, we'll go. That's

1626
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 15: I'm gonna put is myself in this. I can't rank myself.

1630
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 15: And then and then we're gonna go with the other

1631
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,560

1650
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,519

Speaker 2: We got the Saints game, so we've got to go

1703
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 2: behind any sidelines with dpcity this week you talk with

1704
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 2: Christy Freud, who knows the Saints inside and out, but

1705
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 2: we also got to do our predictions, start with the

1706
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 2: game in London Ravens v. Titans and finishing Monday night

1707
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 2: in SO five Stadium a few miles away from where

1708
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 2: my wife and daughter are as the Cowboys take on

1709
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 2: the Charters. We'll do all that next right here in

Speaker 2: Texans All Access. Thank you for being with me on

1711
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 2: a Friday evening. I'm your host, John Harris, Football Analyst,

1712
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,719
Speaker 2: Sideline Report for your Houston Texans. It's Texans All Access

1713
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 2: coming at you. It's time to go behind enemy sidelines

1714
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 2: with Deep City. This week, she cut up with her

1715
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 2: good friend Christy Freud, who knows the Saints inside and out.

1716
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 16: We're going behind enemy sidelines and joining me once again,

1717
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 16: Christy Freud, she covers the Saints for SI dot Com.

1718
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 16: Always have a good time catching up with Chrissy.

1719
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 8: Christy.

1720
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: Here we are on the regular season.

1721
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 16: It's like we blinked in and we're already in the

1722
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 16: thick of it. So, how are things looking in New Orleans?

1723
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that.

1724
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 17: They're looking good. I mean, the Saints have had so

1725
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 17: many games that come down to like a touchdown or less,

1726
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 17: and most of them decided between one or two points.

1727
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 17: So you get the sense of the team as kind

1728
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 17: of about to turn the corner and it's kind of

1729
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 17: so close yet so far away, win or lose. It's

1730
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:07,759
Speaker 17: we look at the defense. The defense has played pretty

1731
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 17: stoutly throughout pretty much the entire season, but then the

1732
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 17: offense seems to finally have started clicking. And it's kind

1733
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 17: of the question of is it play calling? Is Derek

1734
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 17: Carr getting better? So we're just trying to find some consistency.

1735
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 17: But yeah, it's interesting just how much the time is

1736
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 17: flown by. I mean, we're already past mid season in

1737
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 17: college football.

1738
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 16: It is crazy, and I mean, I think you mentioned

1739
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 16: the Saints putting things together. I mean they're coming off

1740
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 16: as complete of a win as they could have possibly

1741
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 16: had thirty four to nothing at New England. What do

1742
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 16: you think was more impressive in the win? Was it

1743
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 16: the offense or the defense?

1744
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 17: I think the defense is something that is I mean,

1745
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 17: they've shown good things all year long, but to pitch

1746
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 17: a shutout obviously makes a very big statement. But the

1747
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 17: thing about this game that we've been saying is temporary expectations.

1748
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,520
Speaker 17: It's so interesting to me because the New England Patriots

1749
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 17: and the Alabama Crimson Tide are kind of they were synonymous,

1750
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 17: and it seems like the mighty have fallen at the

1751
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 17: same time. The Patriots beating the Patriots is no longer

1752
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 17: making a statement this is a team that is borderline

1753
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 17: self destructing. But whenever we looked at that game, the

1754
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 17: thing that made it complete to me was the way

1755
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 17: that some of the underrated defensive players kind of came

1756
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 17: into their own a little bit with a bit of

1757
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 17: a different type of opportunity against a team like the Patriots.

1758
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 17: But then also Pete Carmichael has said time and time again,

1759
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 17: I've got to get better. I've got to get better,

1760
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 17: but things have never really gotten better, and this time

1761
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 17: we see it. So Derek Carr seems to be playing better.

1762
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 17: This is I think his most complete game of the

1763
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 17: season coming off of that shoulder injury too, which makes

1764
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 17: an even bigger statement in my opinion. But we have

1765
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 17: to see if this is going to carry over into

1766
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 17: this week against a team like the Texans, and then

1767
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 17: the team's down the stretch as well. So it's just

1768
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 17: going to be interesting to see if if the Patriots

1769
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 17: game is reflective more of the Patriots being a poor

1770
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 17: team this year or of the Saints having turned the

1771
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 17: corner in a big way after just having I think

1772
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 17: lackluster is a bit too complimentary of the way the

1773
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 17: offense has spent well, I.

1774
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 16: Mean, it seems like I'm glad you brought up Derek Carr.

1775
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:04,639
Speaker 16: We did not see him in the preseason at all,

1776
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 16: but in recent weeks with Alvin Kamara coming back, it

1777
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 16: seems like he's sort of found his rhythm. I mean,

1778
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 16: what have you seen from Carr in his progress through

1779
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 16: these first few games.

1780
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 17: I think the thing that's been good with Derek Carr

1781
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 17: as of late is that he's performing in the red zone.

1782
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 17: The Saints were having some issues in the red zone

1783
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 17: and he didn't throw the ball very often, but I

1784
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 17: think that he did a better job of taking care

1785
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 17: of it. The thing about Derek Carr that we discussed

1786
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 17: the last time we talked about him, and that comes

1787
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 17: up in conversation every single time, is that awful touchdown

1788
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 17: to interception ratio. It's been an issue regardless, and people

1789
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 17: talked about, well, maybe with the change of scenery it

1790
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,719
Speaker 17: will be better. But the thing to look at before

1791
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 17: is whenever he was with the Raiders, the only team

1792
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 17: he's ever been with. Yes, it's one team, but over

1793
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 17: that time period, there were changes within the coaching staff,

1794
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 17: changes in the roster. There were times that there was

1795
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 17: a lot of talent around him and times that there wasn't.

1796
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 17: But the one thing that rained drue was Derek Carr

1797
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 17: had a poor touchdown interception ratio, and I think that

1798
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 17: he's doing a better job taking care of the ball.

1799
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 17: And then we're realizing, I mean, everyone who looked at

1800
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 17: this team knew that the absence of Alvin Kamara was

1801
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 17: going to be an issue. It was going to be

1802
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,560
Speaker 17: a negative. I mean, whenever you lose a player like that,

1803
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 17: that's a big deal. But he's playing vintage Alvin Kamara

1804
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:20,560
Speaker 17: at the same time that Derek Carr seems to be

1805
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 17: settling into whether them, at the same time that Pete

1806
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 17: Carmichael hopefully can repeat twice in a row, some decent

1807
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 17: play calling on his end, and so all those things

1808
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 17: coming together the Saints offense, it's not explosive, but it's

1809
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 17: giving reason for optimism. And then coupled with that defense,

1810
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 17: which is one of the best, not only in the

1811
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 17: division but in the NFL, I think that we could

1812
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 17: see something really good coming out of this team if

1813
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 17: they can just establish some consistency.

1814
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 16: Yeah, you mentioned Alvin Kamara's coming back after serving his

1815
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 16: three game suspension, so we saw him use more in

1816
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 16: the passing game against Tampa Bay and then more in

1817
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 16: the running game against New England.

1818
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 6: So you know, what have you made of his role?

1819
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,560
Speaker 16: Do you expect that to change week the week or

1820
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,919
Speaker 16: is it still just evolving in this offense.

1821
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 17: I think to an extent it's evolving. It's going to

1822
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 17: come down to I think that Pete Carmichael is going

1823
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 17: to look back kind of some of the things that

1824
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 17: worked as far as play calling. I mean, this is

1825
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 17: to score thirty four points the way that the Saints

1826
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 17: did this past game is a huge upswing whenever you

1827
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 17: look at the total, the total points scored and the

1828
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 17: way that the offense was performing in previous games. So

1829
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 17: I think he's going to look back at that game plan.

1830
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 17: But whenever I look at draft prospects, whenever I look

1831
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 17: at Alvin Kamara, whenever he's at his best, that's the

1832
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 17: epitome of what you want to model a running back

1833
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 17: after and today's modern NFL. You want someone you can

1834
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 17: depending on whatever the game plan calls for, the kind

1835
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 17: of defense you're facing. You want someone that you know

1836
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 17: that you can trust through the air, on the ground

1837
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 17: and as a blocker, and a running back that can't

1838
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 17: do all those things will never be a lead at

1839
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 17: the NFL level, and it's kind of something that I

1840
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 17: feel like we use as just kind of the bar

1841
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 17: for evaluation of a running back. But I think that

1842
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 17: he ran quicker and ran harder in this game than

1843
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 17: he has in a long time. I don't know if

1844
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 17: it's just kind of he's got some extra juice to

1845
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 17: him because he's served that suspension, but I think we're

1846
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 17: going to see some really good things from him, and

1847
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 17: it's been huge having him back for this offense.

1848
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 16: All right, let's switch gears talk a little defense. They've

1849
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 16: obviously shined through five games. They ranked fourth overall in

1850
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 16: the NFL. I'm sure those Patriots numbers have helped their

1851
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 16: ranking some, but just a lot of coaching changes on

1852
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 16: that side of the ball. But what do you think

1853
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 16: has been the biggest factor in their success this year?

1854
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 17: I think third down stops have been a big deal.

1855
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 17: I mean, especially in these close games. It's, like I said,

1856
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 17: every single game except for this one and then the

1857
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 17: loss of the Bucks for the Saints has come down

1858
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 17: to the wire, and in situations like that, being good

1859
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 17: on third down is so important. Whenever they faced the Patriots,

1860
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 17: they held the Patriots to one of fourteen on third down,

1861
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 17: so I think that that's been a very big thing.

1862
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:52,759
Speaker 17: And then also the combined passer rating against the Saints

1863
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 17: this year so far sixty six point one, extremely low.

1864
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 17: So this is the Saints are doing a good job

1865
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 17: of getting to the quarterback and a good a good

1866
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 17: job of forcing teams off the field at the end

1867
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 17: of their drive. So I think that just all around,

1868
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 17: that's been a really solid defensive unit.

1869
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 11: All right.

1870
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 16: In that back end, we see Tarren Matthew, who we've

1871
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 16: got some familiarity with here in Houston. So the Saints

1872
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,719
Speaker 16: get back their safety and Marcus May. So what should

1873
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 16: we expect now that that tanum is back together on

1874
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 16: the field.

1875
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 17: Really good things from the secondary and more takeaways. I

1876
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 17: think these are two of the greatest players in that

1877
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 17: position across the league, some guys who are super established.

1878
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 17: So I think that the Saints as far as ball

1879
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 17: hawking and takeaways go, you're going to see enough tick there.

1880
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 16: All right, good stuff, Christy. I know you cover a

1881
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 16: lot of SEC, you cover a lot of college ball.

1882
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 16: What else are you working on this week?

1883
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 17: Quarterback?

1884
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: Everything?

1885
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 17: A lot of interviews in the Hobber that haven't been

1886
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 17: published because I think anyone in the media knows it

1887
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,560
Speaker 17: takes five hundred years to transcribe everything. I finally, I

1888
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 17: was one of the last people to finally get a

1889
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,719
Speaker 17: transcription app and it has saved my life. I feel

1890
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 17: like I've been making things so difficult on myself. So

1891
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 17: a lot of quarterback beature stories coming out, a lot

1892
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 17: of quarterback rankings, and of course covering this game with

1893
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 17: takeaways and all the analysis as well.

1894
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 2: Tremendous stuff there from Chrissy Freud and of course our

1895
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 2: good friend dpcity. All right, we're about to have the

1896
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 2: two fastest minutes in radio right here as I make

1897
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 2: picks straight up and against the spread.

1898
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: You're ready. Games this weekend start in London. Let's go.

1899
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: The Tides are taking on the Ravens. The Tides are

1900
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 1: the home team. The Ravens are favored by four and

1901
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: a half. I'm gonna take the Ravens to win and

1902
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 1: to cover because I want them to. The Commanders are

1903
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: taking on the Falcons we lost last weekend. Atlanta. Atlanta's

1904
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: favored by two and a half.

1905
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 2: I think Atlanta's that much better than Washington. Atlanta's gonna

1906
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 2: win and cover that two and a half.

1907
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,799
Speaker 1: Let's go to Cincinnati, where Joe Burrow and Jamar Chaser

1908
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:40,839
Speaker 1: get it together. They take on the Seahawks.

1909
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 2: Coming off of bye week, the Bengals get a big

1910
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 2: win against the Cardinals.

1911
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's favored by three.

1912
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 2: I think at home the Bengals are starting to find

1913
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 2: their stride, and I don't like it because we gotta

1914
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 2: go there very very soon.

1915
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: Bengals to win and cover that. Three.

1916
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 2: Colts are taking on the Jaguars Neuvaul County. There's no

1917
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 2: chance for the Colts.

1918
01:19:57,920 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: We know the history. Jags are favored by four and

1919
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: a half.

1920
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 2: Let's get the Jags to win, but the Colts are

1921
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 2: gonna cover. The Colts will play close enough to get

1922
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 2: inside the four and a half. Jags win, Colts cover.

1923
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 2: In Duvall County, the Panthers taking on the Dolphins. Spread

1924
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 2: camp be high enough. Dolphins four to one, Panthers zon five.

1925
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 2: Miami's fair by fourteen. Go over that number.

1926
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,759
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna win this game by twenty one forty

1927
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: two to twenty one.

1928
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 2: That's a cover for the Dolphins in a win for

1929
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. Vikings taking on the Bears. Both teams won

1930
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 2: and four. Minnesota's faired by three in Chicago. You know what,

1931
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 2: Chicago played well on Thursday night. They got the mini

1932
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 2: by I think Chicago stays hot, gets the upset win

1933
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 2: knocking off Kirk Cousins and the Vikings. No, justin Jefferson,

1934
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 2: he's on ir. So the Bears gonna get that win.

1935
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 2: They're gonna get the upset. Forty nine Ers taken out

1936
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 2: of the Browns. No DeShawn Watson. That's all I have

1937
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:45,600
Speaker 2: to say about that.

1938
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,600
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers will win and cover that nine and

1939
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: a half against PJ. Walker.

1940
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 2: Patriots taking on the Raiders in Las Vegas. I don't

1941
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 2: see anyway that the Raiders don't win this by more

1942
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 2: than three. Patriots are not good. Raiders win and cover

1943
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 2: at home. Lions and Bucks. Detroit's faired by three on

1944
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 2: the road against the Bucks. How about the Bucks in

1945
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 2: an upset here come of going against convention? Bucks win

1946
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 2: in and upset over the Lions, Cardinals and Rams. Rams

1947
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 2: are faired by seven, the win by ten. Eagles and

1948
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 2: Jets Philly faired by six in New Jersey. Let's go

1949
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 2: Eagles to win, Jets to cover, and then Giants a bill.

1950
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 2: Giants at bills. Really, Sunday Night football bills are faired

1951
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 2: by fifteen bills, all of it and covering Cowboys Chargers.

1952
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys are favored by two against the Chargers. I'm gonna

1953
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: go to the Cowboys to win that thing on the

1954
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: road and obviously cover that too. All right, that does

1955
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: it for our predictions. We get back.

1956
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 2: We've got a troika of Texans joining us right here

1957
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 2: on Texans All Access Day, right where you are. We

1958
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 2: have one final segment of this edition of Texas All

1959
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 2: Access from the Hunday Texans Radio studio. I am your host,

1960
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 2: John Harris Football and on the sideline reporter for your

1961
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 2: Houston Texans getting ready for Sunday as I know our

1962
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 2: next three r We're gonna start our final segment with

1963
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 2: Drew's Dozen with Titus Howard.

1964
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 7: Nobody answers the tough questions better than Titus Howard. So Titus,

1965
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 7: a knife, a fork, or a spoon the rest of

1966
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 7: your life, you only get one.

1967
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 9: Which is it?

1968
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 6: I might go a fork, Come.

1969
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 10: Eat with a fork, Stab someone with a fork. You

1970
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 10: do everything with a fork. If you need a fork

1971
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 10: to hold up a picture, you're stick the fork down,

1972
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 10: prop it up, so I mean, a fork can do everything,

1973
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 10: but a spoon can't.

1974
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,759
Speaker 8: You're crafty. I wouldn't have thought about that with the picture.

1975
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 8: That's good stuff.

1976
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 9: I like that.

1977
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 7: On the subject of food, let's say you and your

1978
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 7: teammates all work in an office environment. Which of your

1979
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 7: teammates is most likely to get the fish dinner from

1980
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 7: the night before, microwave it in the break room, and

1981
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 7: then eat it.

1982
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 8: It is cubicle for everyone to smell.

1983
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 9: Gotta go with Jimmy Morrisey. Really, yes, Wow, Gotta go

1984
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 9: with Jimmy.

1985
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:10,560
Speaker 10: I mean because I feel like every time we go

1986
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 10: out to dinner, he always ordered fish, so he's probably

1987
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 10: the only one that's gonna eat fish.

2185
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: All Right, Drew's keeping it in the wide receiver family.

2186
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 2: With our next guest, rookie Exavior Hutchinson, talking about the

2187
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:11,759
Speaker 2: Saints getting ready for this one on Sunday.

2188
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:15,959
Speaker 7: Tell me about the Saints defense. What about their secondary

2189
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 7: that impresses you the most?

2190
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:18,519
Speaker 6: Just some big names back there.

2191
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 20: Yeah, most definitely. You know, I think it all starts

2192
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 20: with Marshawn to be honest with you. He's their leader

2193
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 20: back there, a lot of a lot of great years

2194
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 20: of him playing high level football. Overall, just a competitive unit.

2195
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:30,760
Speaker 20: They want to go out there and they want to

2196
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 20: make plays, and you can tell on film that they

2197
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:34,240
Speaker 20: want to make plays. I feel like it's gonna be

2198
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 20: a it's gonna be a great unique battle our core

2199
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,640
Speaker 20: receivers against THEIRS. I still like us, but you know,

2200
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 20: we just have to go out there and we just

2201
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 20: have to do what we do best and hopefully, you know,

2202
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 20: everything will take care of itself.

2203
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:46,040
Speaker 18: What's this week been like for you, It's.

2204
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 20: Been the same week, to be honest with you, whether

2205
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 20: someone's down or you know, whether you know they're all

2206
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 20: playing and all healthy. I still prepare as if you know,

2207
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 20: I'm the starter on the team and you know I'm

2208
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 20: gonna get meaningful reps. I feel like that's the only

2209
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 20: way that you can prepare, especially you know in the NFL.

2210
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 20: So really just waiting and really just training like every

2211
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 20: other week, just trying to find areas that can perfect

2212
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,600
Speaker 20: my craft in you know, and really just excel and

2213
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 20: just you know, gain the trust of the coaches and

2214
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 20: in the quarterback and you know, everybody on the team.

2215
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:17,040
Speaker 7: Xavier, where are you five games into your professional crew?

2216
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 7: What do you think in how how do you think

2217
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 7: you have progressed in that regard?

2218
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, I definitely think, you know, especially when you have

2219
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 20: guys in the room who have played at a high

2220
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 20: level like Rob Woods and Noah Brown.

2221
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 18: I mean, and even Nico. You know, just giving me

2222
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 18: bits and pieces.

2223
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 15: I feel like my.

2224
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 20: Understanding of football is so much more elegant, almost to

2225
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 20: an extent, because they've all given me so many great

2226
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 20: nuggets as far as just like pre snap reads or

2227
01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 20: even things I just need to work on, you know,

2228
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 20: not rushing things at the top of my route.

2229
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,679
Speaker 18: But really, I just feel like I'm an overall better player.

2230
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 20: And you know, I know that sounds corny, but I

2231
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 20: really am all phases to which I wasn't a year

2232
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 20: ago today. So I'm really just proud of myself taking

2233
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 20: care of you know, special teams, trying to progress, you know,

2234
01:32:58,200 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 20: as a receiver as well.

2235
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:00,640
Speaker 6: I like that sounds corny at all.

2236
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 7: I mean you're doing a whole new skill set in

2237
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 7: that regard as far as the special teams, and then

2238
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 7: you're getting getting better as a receiver going against top

2239
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 7: notch competition every day in practice, kind of off the

2240
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 7: beaten path.

2241
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 8: Two questions.

2242
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,480
Speaker 7: What's it like being in between locker wise two linebackers.

2243
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,719
Speaker 7: You've got Jake Hansen to your left, you got Henry

2244
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 7: Toto to your right. I don't imagine you've been around

2245
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 7: defenders in the locker room too often.

2246
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 18: To your past no, actually, and I would say I

2247
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 18: had a corner TJ. Tampa. We were partners.

2248
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 20: Right next to each other, so I know how it goes,

2249
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 20: especially you know on Thursdays when we do our third

2250
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:32,240
Speaker 20: down competition.

2251
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 18: Henry loves to talk. Jake loves to talk. So I'm

2252
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:37,840
Speaker 18: used to it, you know. I you know, I bottle

2253
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 18: with him here and there.

2254
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 8: So you are a little bit of a talker.

2255
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:41,639
Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm a little bit of a talker.

2256
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 20: To them, to those two, just because you know, I

2257
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:44,679
Speaker 20: tell him keep their head on a swivel.

2258
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:47,680
Speaker 6: On practice side, they make it knocked out last thing.

2259
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 7: What's it like having case Keenum, a guy who's been

2260
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 7: in the league a long time amping things up energy

2261
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 7: wise at practice and on game day?

2262
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:55,920
Speaker 18: Man, it's huge.

2263
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 20: You can tell he's been in the league for so

2264
01:33:57,600 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 20: long by the way he just you know, carries himself

2265
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 20: around this with and like you said, his high energy

2266
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 20: is huge.

2267
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 11: Man.

2268
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 20: Like I feel like you can never have a bad

2269
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 20: day when you're around his positive energy. Even if you

2270
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 20: know you messed up on the play. You know he's

2271
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 20: coming to you and he's telling you what you could

2272
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 20: have done better, which you probably already know what you

2273
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,080
Speaker 20: could have done better, but just having someone there who's

2274
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 20: not beating you down and he's trying to lift you up,

2275
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:19,760
Speaker 20: and he's lifting everybody up. Man Case has a very

2276
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 20: important role on this team in case Case succeeds it

2277
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 20: every single day.

2278
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 5: That he's in this facility.

2279
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 7: Xavier Hutchinson, best of luck against Saints, bescivalot the rest

2280
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 7: of the way.

2281
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 8: Thank you.

2282
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 18: I appreciate that.

2283
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:32,920
Speaker 1: Titus Howard, Nico Collins, and Xavier Hutchinson.

2284
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:35,560
Speaker 2: Of course with Drew Doherty. And that'll do it for

2285
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 2: tonight's show. Can't tell you how excited I am for

2286
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 2: games like this. Always Texans Cowboys, Texans Saints. These ones,

2287
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:45,200
Speaker 2: those matchups always have a.

2288
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 1: Little bit more, They got a little bit extra, and

2289
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: this one hopefully is going to have some juice. Starting

2290
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 1: at noon on Sunday, get your seats, get there early,

2291
