1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Just keep grind all right, We're getting better eating.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: Every day, running wrapped to the doll line.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: Fighting his way in as the Texans wrap the lead.

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: That's gonna work. Maybe thanks to give hastime brow to

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: the end zone.

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 3: Caught and it's a tuckdown.

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: Love the energy, wrapped up for.

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 4: A lost for the TfL inside the tenth Islands.

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 5: Do it. The Texans are going to the playoffs.

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 4: Don't talk about No, it's Texans all excess playoff adish it.

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Oh yes, it is Texans. Good evening, Welcome. We are

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: getting so closer to kickoff when the Texans take on

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, and we are stoked tonight,

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: huge two hour program. We're gonna have Greg Grissom, president

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: of the Texans, on the air at about six thirty

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: tonight and he'll talk about the game that will be

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: three point thirty Saturday. A little bit later on, Johnny

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: and I'll dig into some things related to the game

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: and other things around the endl also a Nicocollins appreciation

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: segment in our number two. You don't want to miss that.

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: Everything you needed to know about Nico and more. And

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: later on this hour, Jonathan Grenard seeing that number fifty

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: two at practice was a beautiful thing. But of course

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: we begin because it's Thursday with the General, John McLain,

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: it's Mark Vandermer, John Harris with you. Let's rock, gentlemen. General,

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: I know you're ready, you're fired up your level of excitement, sir,

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: heading into Saturday as the Texans, the AFC South champions,

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: get it on with the Browns on.

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 6: A scale of one to ten and eleven because everything

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 6: that's happened this year is almost inexplicable because nobody could

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 6: have envisioned it. And had they lost the Indianapolis game,

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 6: people would have been disappointed. But looking back over the season,

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 6: it's been a rousing success. So they win the game.

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 6: Now they're in the playoffs, the underdog. It won't surprise

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 6: me if they win. One of the problems. Joe Flacco

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 6: has been a great playoff quarterback and he is on

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 6: a roll. So is CJ. Stroud. So their Waco for

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 6: Flacco and Cleveland, and they're proud for Stroud in Houston,

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 6: and I'm ready for the game right now.

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 7: General, if you had to kind of just hone it

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 7: down to two keys, one on offense and one on

42
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 7: defense for the Texans to get a win. Obviously, offensivelyast CJ.

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 7: Stroud is back for this game. He obviously wasn't in

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 7: that Christmas Eve game. Defensively, they got shredded by Amari Cooper,

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 7: who's been dealing with a heel issue. One key on

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 7: each side of the ball that you think is imperative

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 7: that the Texans do to get a win against Cleveland.

48
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 6: Pass coverage has to be so much better than it

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 6: was in that thirty six twenty two game. It wasn't

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 6: nearly that close. Derek stingleyke junior AFC Defensive Player of

51
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 6: the Month who's been outstanding. His rating against him has

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 6: been like fifty five, and against the Browns it was

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 6: one oh nine point four.

54
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 8: He gave up.

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 6: Three catches forty three yards, one touchdown, one interception. So

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 6: he and whoever else, and I know they keep them

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 6: on their own side. They have to do better against

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 6: Mary Cooper and the safeties who struggled in coverage. You know,

59
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 6: you think about their missing three, their top four safeties

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 6: and after Jalen Petrie, the other three we're all signed

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 6: off the streets. So he's going to go deep and

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 6: the corners are going to be running with him. I

63
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 6: don't see him coming out playing the three damsone or quarters.

64
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 6: That's not their style. But they have to be able

65
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 6: to play better coverage and on offense. I think the

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 6: you know, it's amazing the Texans finished plus ten in

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 6: turnover differential, which is astounding with a rookie quarterback because

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 6: rookie quarterbacks who throw the ball down the field have interceptions.

69
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 8: C J.

70
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 6: Stroud didn't, through only interceptions in three games five overall,

71
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 6: one of three quarterbacks in history lead the league in

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 6: average charge per attempt and touch down their interception differential.

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 6: And so I would think if Stroud two and two

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 6: in red zone in that Indianapolis game, and they have

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 6: been seventeenth or nineteenth in red zone touchdowns coming in

76
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 6: when they get down inside the twenty instead of having

77
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 6: Kayami Fairbarn kick field goals, they need touchdowns.

78
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: They need touchdowns, and I know just the guy to

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: help them get them, which would be CJ. Stroud, who

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: did not play in the first meeting. As we all

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: talk about, but general, a couple of things about Stroud

82
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: and Vanderkid two that would be the eleven year old

83
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: soon to be eleven year old.

84
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: Wanted me to ask you this.

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: He wanted to know what you think historically of what

86
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: you've seen out of Stroud. Now that the regular season

87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: is in the books, we venture into the postseason where

88
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: the real reputations are made with quarterbacks. But what we

89
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: saw throughout the seventeen game campaign, can you sort of

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: just put it into words for us, this kind of

91
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: campaign rookie season, what you saw to CJ.

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 6: Stroud, you can tell soon to be eleven year old

93
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 6: vander Kid that I've seen. I saw Warren Moon as

94
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 6: a rookie, twenty eight year old rookie. I saw Steve

95
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 6: McNair as a rookie. I saw Deshaun Watson as a rookie,

96
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: David Carr is a rookie, and CJ. Stroud as a

97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 6: rookie has been better.

98
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 8: Than all of them.

99
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 6: Now Warren Moon developed into the first ballot Hall of Famer,

100
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 6: And so Stroud is off to the best start I've seen.

101
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 6: And what makes it even more amazing is his poise,

102
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 6: his decision making and his accuracy and everybody around the

103
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 6: league season he's getting so much attention and to Miko

104
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 6: Ryans that I'm guessing they're going to have at least

105
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 6: three primetime games next year, maybe four, and they might

106
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 6: play in one of those games in Europe against Minnesota

107
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 6: because Minnesota as one of the teams and they play

108
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 6: the NFC North or Jacksonville, and boy, can you imagine

109
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 6: trying to sell the Panthers over there. But I think

110
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 6: Stroud is off to the best start I've seen of

111
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 6: a rookie quarterback. I covered John Elway, he was terrible

112
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 6: right away. Dan Marino didn't even start right away, and

113
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 6: Peyton Manning through twenty eight interceptions as a rookie. Now

114
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 6: we're just talking about this one season. Andrewcke was great,

115
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 6: Justin Herbert was great. But if Stroud hadn't had the

116
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 6: concussion and DA averaged the yards of these average, he

117
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 6: would add the most yards in the history. He would

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 6: have finished about forty seven hundred, which I think would

119
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 6: have been second team history.

120
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 8: And even though they.

121
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 6: Got time games to go, I'm so excited about what

122
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 6: next season brings when they add to the offense, they

123
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 6: add to the roster, and even had the experience and

124
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 6: the coaching he's been getting, next year he may just

125
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 6: take off and become one of the top three or

126
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 6: four in the league.

127
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 7: He's gotten some help John from Nico Collins going into

128
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 7: his third year. There was a lot of noise around

129
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 7: Nico going in to this season. I thought it was interesting.

130
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 7: You know, he's injured a lot, He's not a number one.

131
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 7: He maybe maxes out his number two. I don't think

132
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 7: he can do this. The only you know, he only

133
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 7: had his highs were like six catches for seventy yards,

134
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, Nico Collins has turned into

135
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 7: a bona fide number one superstar. How much has Nico

136
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 7: collins emergence helped this offense?

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 6: Well, the best we saw if Nico was in training

138
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 6: camp the last two years, he makes a big blaze

139
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 6: in his size six four two fifteen. Now he's up

140
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 6: to two twenty because he's he hit the weight so

141
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 6: hard and it shows when he's bouncing off people, running

142
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 6: over people and getting the yat He's as good as

143
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 6: there is in the NFL right now for yards after

144
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 6: the catch and the cash register is ringing Kachin, Kachin.

145
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 6: Some people think that Nick Casario won't sign him to

146
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 6: an extension. Well, how foolish would that be to let

147
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 6: his contract expire next year and him become an unrestricted

148
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 6: free agent. Well, okay, you could tag him, but you

149
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 6: know what, there might be somebody else they need to tag.

150
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 6: I'll guarantee you Cassio is going to sign Nico Collins

151
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 6: to an extension after this season because he's earned it,

152
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 6: and Casario likes to who's done.

153
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 8: An outstanding job.

154
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 6: And I thought for Football Talk Today have the costas

155
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 6: the executive of the Year, which I thought was preposterous

156
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 6: to have, and he had Serio second, and just like

157
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 6: Tomko second. By the way, well, I'm ranting. Sports Illustrated

00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 6: had nine voters on their postseason awards, and when it

159
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 6: came to Coach of the Year, Stefanski and Dimiko had

160
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 6: four first four seconds. Stefanski had a third, and somebody

161
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 6: who has a job at Sports Illustrated covering the NFL

162
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 6: put Tomko fifth in the best coaching job this season.

163
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 6: So Stefanski wanted by air over Dimiko. That's what I

164
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 6: like to say. Whoever voted him fifth, they would have

165
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 6: to disclose. Those votes must have been somebody from Georgia,

166
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 6: LSU or something and so or a Cowboys fan. And

167
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 6: so I think that Nico has been incredible, the fact

168
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 6: that he once Tankdale went down, and Noah Brown's been

169
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 6: hurt so much he doesn't have a legitimate two opposite him.

170
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 6: And just like you know, the Texans will do everything

171
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 6: to contain Amari Cooper, the Browns will do everything to

172
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 6: contain Nico Collins, and others will have to step up.

173
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: You know, maybe it was one of those AI bots

174
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: voting now, the AI is too smart to vote for

175
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: Dimiko fifth. I think they would have to me go first,

176
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: if they're truly intelligent. I know the Terminator, not Will Anderson,

177
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: but Arnold Schwarzenegger. You know, the character anyway would have

178
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: voted Tom go first. So there's that general before we

179
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: we'll get back to the game in a moment, but

180
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: before we go anywhere. This has been a bizarre week.

181
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen anything like this?

182
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 9: Now?

183
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll and then throwing Mike Vrabel,

184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: who's really significant to the Texan situation being in the division.

185
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: But this is unbelievable what occurred this week.

186
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 6: It's been an unprecedented week, starting with a championship game

187
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 6: at n Archie Stadium where Michigan won in Houston and

188
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 6: everybody put on such a great show, such positive reviews

189
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 6: about the job done by the city of the county everybody.

190
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 6: So Harbaugh wins. Then is Rball come to the NFL.

191
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 6: Then all of a sudden they start the regular firings.

192
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 6: Not a lot of surprises, but Mike Brabel gets fired,

193
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 6: which was stunning and good for the Texans unless they

194
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 6: are Bobby Slowik, who is their number one candidate. But

195
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 6: that's the story for another day. And so then the

196
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 6: thing was it was Belichick didn't surprise me. We've all

197
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 6: known there's good chance he's going to be gone, but

198
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 6: it's still once it was finalized in such a big story. Dad,

199
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 6: the great columnist for the Boston Club, said there's no

200
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 6: such thing as a mutual party. Of the ways he

201
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 6: was fired, he would have been back if the Craft

202
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 6: had given him that opportunity. Now everybody's saying Droid Mayo

203
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 6: will be elevated to take his place, not airing Mike Vrabel.

204
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 8: Don't know if Rabel want to go there anyway.

205
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 6: And then I was doing the talk show in Tuscaloosa

206
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 6: with a longtime host there, Ryan Fowler, who loves to

207
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 6: ask me about the Alabama people for the Texans, And

208
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 6: so while I'm giving him an answer about Damiko and

209
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 6: how Christian Harris and Will Anderson Junior playing. I stop,

210
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 6: and I'm waiting for him to ask me another question,

211
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 6: and he doesn't. This yesterday afternoon, and finally I thought

212
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 6: I'd lost a connection. I was about to say something.

213
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 6: He goes, Hey, John, I'm sorry, I'm reading something. I

214
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 6: have to make sure I read it right, so when

215
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 6: I say it, I'll say it right. Nick Saban has resigned,

216
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 6: And I said, Ryan, go to work, just do your job,

217
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 6: and I hung up. That's how I learned Satan was out.

218
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 7: So the one thing of you didn't bring up general,

219
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 7: let's hit on, and that's Pete Carroll up in Seattle.

220
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: Was that a shock? It felt like that one like

221
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: there have been rumblings.

222
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 7: About Belichick, and I had actually heard some rumblings after

223
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 7: the Rose Bowl about Nick Saban.

224
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: Then you know, keep an eye on this, Carol, even.

225
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 7: Though he's seventy two. I didn't see that one coming.

226
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 7: Your thoughts about Pete Carroll. And then is it really

227
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 7: a fate of complete that it's dan Quinn.

228
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 6: I had no inkling anything about Nick Sadan. You gonna resign?

229
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 6: And they say he's resigning because he doesn't like the

230
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 6: state of college football within als and the transfer portal,

231
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 6: and I don't blame it. It's a much better time

232
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 6: to be a head coach in the NFL than college

233
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 6: football for those reasons.

234
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 8: When you have free.

235
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 6: Agents every year, your quarterback comes in says, Okay, I

236
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 6: want this. If you don't give it to me, I'm

237
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 6: going so and this place because they're offering it to me.

238
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 6: And it's like you're coaching them all on one year deals,

239
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 6: and you know usually and Pete Carroll was a shocker,

240
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 6: and they're always competitive, and he's They have been rebuilding

241
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 6: kinda on the run with all those picks they got

242
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 6: for Russell Wilson. They're loaded on offense, good offensive line,

243
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 6: great receivers, good running backs. They need a quarterback besides

244
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 6: Geno Smith, and they need to work on their defense.

245
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 6: And the owner, Jody Allen, Paul Allen's sister. She doesn't

246
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 6: mess with a football team, and so it's supposed to

247
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 6: be sold at some point, but not anytime soon because

248
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 6: she's given away all his other billions at billions and

249
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 6: so I think that is a great job. People immediately

250
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 6: talking about dan Quinn, although you usually go from defensive

251
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 6: coordinator to offensive coordinator. But Quinn would be very popular

252
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 6: up there since he had so much success before he

253
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 6: went to Atlanta, and I was Pete Carroll said, he

254
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 6: wants to keep coaching, and he is full of energy.

255
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 6: He doesn't look seventy two. He's got all his hair,

256
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 6: he's saying, he looks good. He bounds as endless energy.

257
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 6: And you don't have many coaches out there. He've won

258
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: national championship in college in the Super Bowl? Do you

259
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 6: take a guy like that or do you take a

260
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 6: guy who's never been a head coach who's a coordinator.

261
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: All right, I am getting Gordon Gecko greedy here, So

262
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I want to know what's going to happen with Miami

263
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: against Kansas City and Pittsburgh at Buffalo. And this is

264
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: for both of you. Who's got the better shot to

265
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: win this weekend? They're both underdogs. I don't even know

266
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: what the lines are. I don't look at those things much.

267
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Miami at Kansas City, can they somehow rally and get

268
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: the victory at Arrowhead in sub whatever the temperature is,

269
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: or Pittsburgh playing Buffalo in Cleveland, whatever they're going to

270
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: do about that severe weather situation. Who's got the edge

271
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: here or the what's the more likely upset general?

272
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 8: You go first, Miami is going to be miserable.

273
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 6: The Dolphins of two has never won a game when

274
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 6: it was below forty five. But the Chiefs are gonna

275
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 6: be miserable. Everybody's gonna be miserable when the game starts

276
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 6: at minus two. So it's gonna be about turnovers, running

277
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 6: the ball. Raheem Monster is supposed to be practicing this week.

278
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 6: He might be back, which would really help their running game.

279
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 6: You know, Tyreek Hill played in Kansas City, knows how

280
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: bad it can get. But it doesn't mean he's not

281
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 6: gonna be miserable. Everybody's gonna be miserable. So I and

282
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 6: they're gonna be miserable in Buffalo. But I think the

283
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 6: Dolphins have a better chance to beat the Chiefs, who

284
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 6: have not played well. Then the Bills are not gonna

285
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 6: get upset at home by a TJ. Whitteless Steelers defense.

286
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, hopefully Miami will wear those all white jerseys. They'll

287
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 7: get lost in the snow.

288
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: If there is.

289
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 8: Anything, I can't see them when they run by you.

290
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, maybe it'll maybe it'll

291
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 7: go that way. Over the NFC, John, I don't feel

292
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 7: like it's got as many any stories over there. I mean,

293
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 7: obviously Texans Browns, we know about the trade a couple

294
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 7: of years ago. And the Chiefs and the Dolphins. You

295
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 7: got Tyreek Hill with the Steelers in Buffalo. You've got

296
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 7: you know, two grimy, gritty Lake Erie type teams. Over

297
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 7: the NFC, it feels like the one story is Matt

298
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 7: Stafford going back to Detroit to take on the Detroit Lions.

299
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 7: Your thoughts about what's going on in the NFC Packers, Cowboys, Eagles,

300
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 7: and Bucks on Monday Night and then also the Rams

301
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 7: and the Lions with that big game of Stafford going

302
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 7: back home, so to speak.

303
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 6: People are talking about Stafford. Nobody's talking about Jared Goff.

304
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 6: He played for the Rams. They couldn't wait to get

305
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 6: rid of him after the offense bombed out in the

306
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 6: Super Bowl loss to New England. Jared Goff's got a lot,

307
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 6: you know, he wants to stick it where the sun

308
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 6: doesn't shine with Sean McVay. And so those two that's

309
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 6: the most Uh, that's the most expensive ticket. You think

310
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 6: it'd be the Cowboys and the Packers. When I think

311
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 6: of the Cowboys and Packers, because I'm old, I think

312
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 6: about the Ice Bowl, great games they've had through the decades.

313
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: One of the most interesting experiences I had Lambeau Field

314
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, being on the sideline at the end of.

315
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 8: The game, right go into the locker rooms. Packers are

316
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 8: comfortably up and behind me.

317
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 6: Sell out crowd at Lambeau some fans start to sing, Mama,

318
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 6: don't let.

319
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 8: You babies grow up to be Cowboys.

320
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 6: Next thing you know, every fan is seeing that song,

321
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 6: and the Cowboys are looking over their shoulders, and it's weird.

322
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 8: You're in Green Bay and they all knew the words.

323
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 8: One of the coolest experiences.

324
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 6: I've had out of the millions of experiences I've had

325
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 6: covered the NFL for forty seven years.

326
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 8: And then there's the.

327
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 6: One Philadelphia one in five. Could Nick Sirianni be fired

328
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 6: if he loses to the Bucks. Could Todd Bowles be

329
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 6: fired if they lose the whole playoff game? I do

330
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 6: not believe that the firings are over now. I don't

331
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 6: buy into Jerry Jones firing Mike McCarthy they get beat

332
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 6: by the Packers.

333
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 8: I don't think they will. I don't see.

334
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 6: Jerry's never been a coach with a quick I mean

335
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 6: owner with a quick trigger. And McCarthy's only coach Cowboys

336
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 6: have ever had won at least twelve in his first

337
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 6: three seasons. So if the Cowboys were to lose and

338
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 6: Eagles were to lose, that's two coaches. Their seat would

339
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 6: be so hot next season they couldn't sin.

340
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: General your thoughts on this. The locker room celebration after

341
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: the victory over the Colts for the Texans, and we've

342
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: all seen it by now, and if you have it,

343
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: it's on Houston Texans dot com. You get to search

344
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: for it a bit, but it's right there on the

345
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: website and the app. And it's amazing to me. And

346
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: I did fully realize because I'm up in the booth

347
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: and Johnny knew this from the get go that they

348
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: were all waiting in the locker room because Demiko was

349
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: in the hallway. We all saw that shot of him

350
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: reflecting just for a moment. It was amazing. And then

351
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: CJ joins them and they go to the locker room

352
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: and the place explodes, and I thought, this is one

353
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: of the best locker room celebrations I've ever seen. Period

354
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: to see the coach with the players like that in

355
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: such a joyful moment, and I thought that along with

356
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: everything else, of course, but that's a great snapshot, if

357
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: you will, snapshot video of the culture of what it's

358
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: like to play for Demico Ryans. And I got to

359
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: think it's a great free agent commercial for whatever is

360
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: going to happen when the league year officially begins in March.

361
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of the playoff game

362
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: at all, but I wanted to bring this up because

363
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: the Texas have a lot of guys who are slated

364
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: to be free agents. You'd love to retain so many

365
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: of them. But other players that you can attract, what

366
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: do you think of that? The attraction factor of the

367
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. I know free agency is all about money, really,

368
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: but there's extra, there's other stuff, and the Texans have

369
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot of that good other stuff.

370
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 8: Yeah.

371
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 6: Did Texans be an awful pathetic the last three years

372
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 6: keep them from signing free agents? No, if you pay,

373
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 6: that's where they're going to go. They're not going to sow.

374
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 6: I'm going to take two million leads to play for

375
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 6: Demico Ryans. As not how the NFL works. I wrote

376
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 6: a column this week using that experience, and I've seen

377
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 6: that fifty times. That's one of the coolest things I've

378
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 6: ever seen.

379
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 8: They can.

380
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 6: I tell you it gives me goosebumps. I watch after

381
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 6: victories every one of those things you guys put up

382
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: because that's seeing something we don't see in the media.

383
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 6: And I use that celebration as an example of all

384
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 6: the McNair's and Casario run this team. You had to

385
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 6: strain to see Callahanna in the background.

386
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 8: You didn't see Nick at all. You know.

387
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 6: Do you think if if the Cowboys win a game

388
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 6: like that, Jerry Jones is going to be in the background.

389
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 8: Of course not.

390
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 6: And that's the way they run the franchise. And McNair's

391
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 6: stay in the background. Give them the money, want to

392
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 6: know what's going on, but don't interfere. Casario works closely

393
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 6: with the MIKO, but they know it's about the coaches

394
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 6: and players. And so I also have a call them

395
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 6: up on Sportsrailo sixteen dot com about the Texans. Would

396
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 6: love for CJ. Stroud to have the kind of rookie

397
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 6: playoff that Joe Flacco had in two thousand and eight

398
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: when CJ was seven and Flacco had one two players

399
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: off games as a rookie in Los Anges, a championship

400
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 6: game at Pittsburgh, and it's and then CJ was twelve

401
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 6: when Flacco and the Ravens won the Super Bowl. So

402
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 6: there's so many cool things. But I love that video

403
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 6: and I hope you have a chance to have your

404
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 6: social media department put up another one after this game

405
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 6: against the Browns.

406
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 7: General, I've always loved to pick your brain about the

407
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 7: history of the game.

408
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: What's your favorite playoff memory?

409
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 8: WHOA, oh, my good one.

410
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 6: Well, the worst one will always be Buffalo. Nothing else,

411
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 6: nothing else needs to be said. In nineteen seventy nine,

412
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 6: the Oilers played in San Diego Eric Coriel. They were

413
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 6: eighteen point underdogs because Dan Pastrini, quarterback, running back Royal Campbell,

414
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 6: wide receiver Kenny Burrow, their top three players were out.

415
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 6: Their backup running back Rob Carpenter was hurt. They shot

416
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 6: him up with so much stuff. He was crawling back

417
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 6: to the huddle, didn't know what planet he was on.

418
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: And they upset the heavily favored Chargers to get another

419
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 6: trip back to Three River Stadium, try to go to

420
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. So in Houston, those are the two.

421
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 6: Those are the two that stand out to me as

422
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 6: far as the Texans JJ's interception returned to beat the

423
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 6: Bengals because it just came out of nowhere that JJ

424
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 6: phenomenon was born. In that game, we know, I had

425
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 6: no idea he's going to be that great. And that

426
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 6: was the best one for positivity because I don't think

427
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 6: of the other playoff victories, but the fact that was

428
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 6: the first one. It was over the red rifle back

429
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 6: in Houston, his hometown, Katie. Actually, it just meant so

430
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 6: much to the McNair's the franchise. But that's my favorite

431
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 6: Texans playoff memory. And if they ever ever win a

432
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 6: divisional playoff game, then that will be on the number

433
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 6: one man, because it's the first time in history it'll happen.

434
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 6: And right now, everybody in Baltimore's getting ready for Flaco's homecoming.

435
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 6: Everybody Cleveland's getting ready for Flaco's homecoming in Baltimore.

436
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's hope those plans are spoiled one more

437
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: for you, General. And by the way, the Dolphins should

438
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: reference that Eiler victory of the Chargers in seventy nine.

439
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: As banged up as they are, especially on defense, to

440
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: try to help the beat the Chiefs, although they will

441
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: not be playing in San Diego.

442
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 8: We now the weather is a little bit better in

443
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 8: San Diego.

444
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yep, yeah, a little bit different, Okay. Nick

445
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Cassario earlier this week totally shot down, shot down the

446
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: report from your favorite reporter, Jason la non confirma thoughts

447
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: on that.

448
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 8: And that's not the way you pronounce it.

449
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 2: You need to be what is it?

450
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 6: It's Jason no longer confirm, but he wasn't the only one.

451
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 6: A bunch of them have been saying that this goes

452
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 6: back to the draft. Everybody in New England thinks that

453
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 6: anybody that was with the Patriots is dying to come back,

454
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 6: and that's not a good operation right now, you know

455
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 6: who wants to replace the legend and so Casario. How

456
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 6: many gms have it better than Nick. He's a third

457
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 6: year of his contract, he makes a fortune, he's going

458
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 6: to get a bonus and they win the Super Bowl

459
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 6: and he's got total control of personnel. He works great

460
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 6: with Domiko, a great coach, a great staff.

461
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 8: And owners who leave him alone. You could not have

462
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 8: a better.

463
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 6: Job than Nick Casio has right now, based on everything

464
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 6: he went stood here. You know when he came here

465
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 6: and watching it just made his trade demand. Well thought,

466
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 6: he'll get over it. What Nick Casario, I liken it too.

467
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 6: He came into a hurricane and he was able to

468
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 6: come out on the other side unscathed.

469

00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: of work for people to flip the building from the

480
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: National Championship. You had a couple of Texans games sandwich

481
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,760

503
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,480

Speaker 1: really dig in to this playoff game with the Cleveland

505
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,040

00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 7: into playoffs. Three hours later, we're into playoffs, but we

517
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 7: don't know what we're playing or who we're playing. To

518
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 7: Sunday afternoon about three o'clock, Okay, we've won a division.

519

00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 7: of stress from one to ten? What's it been?

00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't say stress though, how about excitement?

522
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 4: Now you got the excitement opportunity challenge. But it's been

523
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 4: a great ride, and we have such an amazing team

524
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: around us doing amazing work at all different levels of

525
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 4: the organization. So watching that all happen over the last

526
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 4: four or five days has been really gratifying and just

527
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: a real credit to all our teammates that that are

528
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,320

530
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800

00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: go out and beat the Browns.

534
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: By the way, with Demiico Ryan's vernacular, we say op

535
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: instead of opportunities.

536
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 10: That's right.

537
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got a great op.

539
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520

540
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,879

543
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: short amount of time.

544
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: Well, first and foremost, I'm excited to say we announced

545

Speaker 4: get tickets on the secondary market by visiting NFL Ticket

559
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 7: thousand people in there, and then the challenge in the

560
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 7: last couple of years, and then see the crowds each

561
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 7: and every week grow and grow and grow as this

562
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 7: team was growing and growing and growing is just incredible.

Speaker 7: do you have a favorite moment of this season?

567
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 8: Oh?

568
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 2: That hadn't thought about that.

569
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 4: If I had to say my favorite moment of this

570
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 4: maybe I always want to. Yeah you too, I want,

571
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 4: I want, I want to I want. I want to

00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 4: throw from CJ to Tank in the in the Buccaneers game,

573
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: not the touchdown the one before. Yeah, uh, you know,

574
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 4: the the deep out that that really set up to touchdown.

575
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 4: That throw was amazing and to that base sickly put

576
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: you in a position with that time on the clock

577
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 4: to win the game and just amazing and magical in

578
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 4: the stadium was going nuts. And then probably the other

579
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 4: one is is the Cincinnati drive to win the game

580
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: to be because that was a pretty hostile environment that day.

581
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: You know, the fans were into it. You know, they're

582
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 4: still in the playoff hunt, Joe Burrow still there. I mean,

583
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 4: it's a it was a and they were they were

584
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: ready to go that day, and you know with kind

585
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 4: of the way the end of that game happened with

586
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: you know, the interception late we thought, you know, but

587
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 4: the resilience and I know Demko talks about this all

588
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 4: the time, the resilience of this team and what we

589
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: saw there to come back win the game game me

590
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: out the whole thing. And uh uh. To to win

591
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 4: that game and to hear the crowd be very quiet

592
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 4: at the end is always a fun, fun place when.

593
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 8: You're on the road.

594
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: And it's been quite the year because it was almost

595
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: a year ago that Demico Ryans was hired and thinking

596
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: of all the things it led into and the incredible

597
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: draft night and the incredible training camp and the incredible season,

598
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: can you reflect on that a little bit for us?

599
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 4: Well, it's been a magical run. And I know this

600
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 4: has been said in different ways, but it's yes to

601
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 4: Miko and what he's brought to the table this year

602
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 4: has been imperative. But I really go back further than that.

603
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 4: I go back to the Klan Hannah and Missus McNair

604
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: and the leadership, you know, over the last couple of

605
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: years to put us in a position. Nick and his

606
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 4: team and how they've built a team, what we've built

607
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: on the business side and kind of evolved. I think

608
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: all those things put together, you're kind of seeing all

609
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: payoff right now. And we got a lot of more

610
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: work to do. The work never stops, and you know,

611
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: we want to continue to focus on that. But just

612
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: in reflecting, I think it's really the McNair's leadership, their

613
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: support of what they provide our entire organization at every

614
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: level to allow all that to happen, for us to

615
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 4: have moments like we're having.

616
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: Now, Gregor.

617
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 7: I know everybody gets to see CJ and Nico and

618
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 7: the guys in the field and the coaches and get

619
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 7: to see them, But when I think about this team,

620
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 7: I think about what we started on Christmas Eve and

621
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 7: what hopefully is not the last home game. But when

622
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 7: I think about receive against the Browns New Year's Eve

623
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 7: against the Titans, Oh, I missed the Texas Bowl in

624
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 7: there Texas Bowl on three days after we played the Browns,

625
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 7: then the Titans. Then obviously we got the Colts game,

626
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 7: We've got the National Championship going on here and now

627
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 7: we're playing a game on Saturday.

628
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: How proud are you of your people? The fact that

629
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: they're able to pull it off.

630
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 7: And if you walk in the stadium, you would never know,

631
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 7: like if this is your first time walking to this stadium,

632
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 7: you would never know all that had taken place.

633
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: But you know that your people have pulled all.

634
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 4: Of that audition and there there are are teammates and

635
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 4: just everything that they've done. And we have a lot

636
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 4: of partners right our partners here at NRG Park, partners

637
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: at Aermark, our partners that support all of those entities.

638
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 4: So it is a huge team effort to make it happen.

639
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: We'll very well, you know, thought out and planned, but

640
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: to see it all unfold, like you said, I mean,

641
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 4: it's invigorating. It's inspiring just to watch the passion and

642
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: energy that all these folks who really care about their

643
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 4: role that they play on the team, and and then

644
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: and then how it can all come together. You know,

645
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: let's talking to our field crew the other day. Who's

646
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: painting the field? I mean they've they've painted the field

647
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 4: like seven times in the last you know, four or

648
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 4: five weeks. But never complain, always excited. What can we

649
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 4: do next? And that energy and what's kind of being

650
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 4: again developed holistically here is showing up and paying off

651
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 4: in moments like this.

652
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: And taking it into the coming year because we don't

653
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: want to look ahead, but we're going to look ahead.

654
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: Because Johnny and I get asked weekly and I know

655
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: you do too about uniforms. What's that going to be like? When?

656
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: How what can you tell us as of now?

657
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 4: Greg, Well, you know, I'll repeat what we've said is

658
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 4: I think the unit, we're very excited. It's going to

659
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 4: be a great thing to unveil and kind of evolve

660
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: ourselves forward from how we present ourselves from the uniform brand,

661
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 4: et cetera. I think there's something for everyone. You know,

662
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 4: there's a lot of different opinions and voices, and you know,

663
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 4: I think we've shared that there's not necessarily you know,

664
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: kind of a one size fits all approach to this,

665
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 4: so I think you'll continue to see that. And when

666
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I think we're looking you know, just ahead

667
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 4: of the draft. The exact details, we're still finalizing those

668
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: things as we speak, but you know, sometime in mid April,

669
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 4: ahead of the draft, maybe Draft week, maybe before, but

670
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 4: somewhere in that neighborhood to unveil it and really to

671
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: to have all our fans have an opportunity to enjoy

672
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 4: it and and you know, start repping the new.

673
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 7: Gear Greg for fans that haven't had a chance to

674
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 7: kind of see. I know, obviously we put on a

675
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 7: show every single time that we have have a home

676
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 7: game here, but for a playoff game, what do we

677
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 7: have that's specially fans.

678
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 4: Well, we starts with we've got you know, we want

679
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: everybody in here early and when I say earlier, the

680
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 4: games at three point thirty just in you know, our

681
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 4: fans for whatever reason, have a you know, they like

682
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 4: to either tailgate come a little later.

683
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 11: Right.

684
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: We need to change that.

685
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 4: And I can tell you organizationally this offseason that's something

686
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: we're going to really focus on, is how do we

687
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: create an environment that that that that's different. But for

688
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 4: Sunday or for Saturday, we I would just think about

689
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 4: this way. We want every everybody in the stadium an

690
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: hour early, so two thirty, So shut.

691
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: Down the tailgate.

692
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 4: You know, if you're coming from out, don't plan to

693
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: be in the parking lot at two thirty. Be in

694
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 4: the parking lot at two so you can be in

695
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 4: the stadium at two thirty. So everybody needs to move

696
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 4: up their time clock so that when the players are

697
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 4: out for warm ups before introductions, they can feel the

698
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 4: energy because I know they talk about it. And when

699
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 4: intro's hits, which are usually about fifteen minutes before the game,

700
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 4: the place is juiced. And so our fans need to

701
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 4: understand that timeline and adjust themselves accordingly. So if I

702
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 4: can say it once, I'll say it a thousand times.

703
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 4: Be early, and that means be in the stadium an

704
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: hour before, in your seats thirty minutes before. So let

705
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 4: me just can I say that again?

706
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: I want that's so I.

707
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: Brought it up.

708
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, say so, reach and Houston needs to embrace that

709
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 4: when you go to a lot of other stadiums, I'm

710
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 4: sure in Indy when you're up there and what do

711
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 4: they what does Pat McAfee.

Speaker 2: Call it lot house or whatever.

713
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: Whatever.

714
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 4: We walked away with the head as it doesn't matter

715
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 4: but that they were there early and and they so

716
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 4: we Houston needs to show up, Our fans need to

717
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 4: show up and be here early. But that we'll have

718
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 4: fifty thousand rally towels to get them going and get

Speaker 4: text the folks who lead that force and say, you know,

751

00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: What's the biggest key? What do the Texans have to

777
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: be able to do to get a win?

778
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 5: Oh?

779
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: Well, and just to be clear, I'm a I'm a

780
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: last thing.

781
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: I am.

782
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 4: I'm not a football you know, savant like you, But

783
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: but I know, you I've.

784
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: Watched a lot of football. I've watched a lot of

785
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 2: football understand the game.

786
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 4: But you know, I I what I'm excited to see,

787
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 4: maybe I'll say it this way, is how we can

788
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 4: affect Flacco in a different way than what we could

789
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: last week. He had a great game, and you know,

790
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 4: we had some guys that weren't in the game, and

791
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: so I think, hope we'll see how that all shakes out.

792
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 4: But but you know, if he can be affected, he's

793
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 4: proven that when he when he has time, he's he

794
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 4: can He's he's elite, he's a very good player. So

795
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 4: and I think he's playing with the right mindset right now.

796
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: You know he's he's not he's got everything to gain

797
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 4: and nothing to lose, and so that's always interesting. So

798
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: that'd be something i'd be watching, is how how how

799
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 4: can we affect him?

800
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: And Brian Cushing's perfect for Repid h Town because he

801
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: had the bloody face.

802
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 4: Well yeah, so go check out there's a little teaser

803
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,799

806
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 4: that together and create some intensity leading into Saturday.

00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: to Texans Radio. I can't wait for this one because

819
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: I got to practice sometimes and I look for numbers

820
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: of guys Jersey, numbers of guys who might have been

821
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: out for a while or whatever. Are they coming back?

822
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: Are they not coming back? Sometimes they're limited, sometimes they're

823
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: just rehabbing. But to see fifty two out there was

824
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: such a breath of fresh air. You know you need

825
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: them back. You want him back. Twelve and a half

826
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: sacks in the regular season. Here we go with the

827
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: posts the season. Andrew Doherty visits with JG.

828
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 11: It's always nice to see defensive end Jonathan Grinard, but

829
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 11: it's a little bit nicer today. How are you feeling, John?

830
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 8: Feel pretty good?

831
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: Sorry to geld be back out there.

832
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 12: Decided to get a chance to play the first playoff

833
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 12: game and decided to do some good things in the

834
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 12: city for sure.

835
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, first playoff game is a big deal. How sweet

836
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 11: is that for you? You've been through some tough times here.

837
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 12: It's amazing to see where the organ is going. I

838
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 12: come from and know we can still take this thing,

839
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 12: obviously with the talent that we have. But I'm excited

840
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 12: to see what we do. Man, I'm excited to see

841
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 12: us to play a big time ball. We already had

842
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 12: that kind of first takes the playoff ball last week

843
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 12: obviously with the Coats came out with a dub. But

844
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 12: I think we're just gonna it's a rematching. Like I

845
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 12: think the Migo said that earlier during the week, is

846
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 12: you don't get so many rematches, especially against these teams

847
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 12: in the playoffs. So I think we're excited that we

848
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 12: understood what they did last time, and we would definitely

849
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 12: try to change that result for sure.

850
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 5: Yeah.

851
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 11: I mean, this is the last team you played against

852
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 11: me and you only got a few snaps, And how

853
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 11: sweet is it going to be in that regard to

854
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 11: be back on the field and against these guys.

855
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I'm just be in the moment.

856
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 11: Man.

857
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 12: Ultimately, I may have hyped it up in my mind

858
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 12: maybe too much.

859
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 8: You know.

860
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 12: I just just treat like it's another game, honestly in

861
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 12: my mind. So I'm just decided to be able to

862
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 12: go out there, not necessarily redeem myself, but just really

863
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 12: go finish off where I started.

864
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: So just really really excited.

865
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 11: What's the challenge Joe Flacco presents for you.

866
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 12: It's a vet who's been in these type of games,

867
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 12: and as we know, he can make a lot of

868
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 12: plays with his arm, and you never know, like as

869
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 12: we seen the last time we played him, no one

870
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 12: expected them to be throwing the ball from his knees

871
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 12: or nobody expected him to be making the throws that

872
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 12: he did. But we also understand they could be done

873
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 12: with a caliber of quarterback as he hears, so much

874
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 12: respect to him. But he's definitely gonna go into that

875
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 12: mode and that he's been once before back in Baltimore days,

876
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 12: so it's excited. We decided I definitely want to make

877
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 12: him a comfortabatter at this time so that we can

878
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 12: get what we want.

879
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, as a group entering the game, even with you

880
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 11: in the lineup, it was a different Texans bunch. You're back, CJ.

881
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 11: Strouds back, a lot of guys are back. What's the

882
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 11: different mindset you guys have collectively?

883
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 12: Well, nah, obviously in the mindset's kind of been there.

884
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 12: But it's definitely win to go home for sure. And

885
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 12: it's just one of those mindsets in the mentality where

886
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 12: the energy here has not even been like uptight or anything.

887
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 12: Everybody's kind of treating it like it's another game and

888
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 12: understanding what's that stake here and we're just not gonna

889
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 12: make it bigger than what it is just play our

890
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 12: brand of ball and hopefully come.

891
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: Up is what we want.

892
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 11: Last thing for me, you bring up energy. The energy

893
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 11: in the crowd probably be pretty high. It's been announces

894
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 11: a sellout, So what's that mean to you?

895
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 12: I know that, Yeah, first time I'll be my first

896
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 12: time seeing this thing sold out.

897
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm just saded.

898
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 12: It kind of is gonna be like a college football

899
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 12: atmosphere a little bit being a Saturday game. But I'm

900
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 12: excited to see what happens. I'm excited to see the

901

907
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: Can't wait.

908
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: I can wait for the cold weather to hit because

909
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be a couple of days later or

910
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: within a couple of days after the playoff game, and

911
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: temperature is going to drop below what thirty two at

912
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: night significantly. And I only bring this up because Houston

913
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: Methodist Minutes we do this. What about finding out about

914
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: mind and body prep for the cold? A couple of

915
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: minutes on this from Houston Methodist Minutes with doctor Alicia

916
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: Robis show doctor how's it going?

917
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 9: It is going great?

918
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Well, we are getting

919
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: ready for a playoff game. But as they say in

920
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, winter is coming. Freezing temperatures arriving a

921
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: lot of people are alarmed about this. People are talking

922
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: about how to prepare their houses and everything, but what

923
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 1: about preparing their bodies and minds for this sort of thing.

924
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: With it being so cold, are you more susceptible to

925
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: colds and viruses A lot of people think you are

926
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: as it gets colder. Or is it really about what's contagious,

927
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: who's contagious, what you're exposed to which is more important?

928
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 9: I think it's a little bit of both. The honest

929
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 9: truth is that all of the contagious viruses are in

930
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 9: high spread right now, COVID and blue and rhinovirus and RFB.

931
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 9: You hear about these, to get your vaccines for them,

932
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 9: because they are very rampant in the community. People will

933
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 9: start wearing masks more. But the other thing is that

934
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 9: when we stay inside rather than being outside, all of

935
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 9: those viruses are now harbored inside and with the air conditioning,

936
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 9: and they can spread. So get your vaccines if that's

937
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 9: important for you, if you're at the right age. But

938
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 9: the reality is, if you keep in contact with people

939
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 9: who often get sick, you just might get sick.

940
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: Another one for about being inside a lot seasonal effective disorder.

941
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: You've brought this up before in a different topic, But

942
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: is that a real thing in Houston? Now that it's

943
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: getting so cold and people will be inside more, what

944
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: should they watch out for.

945
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 9: It's not so prominent here in Houston, mostly because we

946
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 9: don't have that great, dull, dreary sky. We still have

947
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 9: a lot of sunshine even with the cold weather, So

948
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 9: enjoy the sunshine. Be outside, make sure you open your windows.

949
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 9: Try not to just hover inside when it's cold for

950
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 9: days and days at a time. Get your sleep, Try

951
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 9: not to sleep in the middle of the day, and

952
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 9: that usually prevents us stealing more gloomy and doomy when

953
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 9: the weather gets cold.

954
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: Like this, doctor thanks so much of the time. We

955
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: appreciate it absolutely. There's doctor Alicia Robashow from Houston Methodist.

956
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: A little mind body prep for when the temperatures drop

957
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: below thirty two degrees a couple of days or within

958
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: a couple of days after the Texans take on the

959
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, where a win will be a lot more.

960
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: It's Houston Methodist, the official healthcare provider of the Houston Texans.

961
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: Houston methodis the leading medicine coming up. Johnny and I

962
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: more on the game. More of the coaching changes around

963
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: the league, What happened with Mike Vrabel, Also a Nico

964
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: Collins appreciation segment, and you'll hear from Kevin Stefanski, head

965
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: coach to the Browns. It's all coming up here on

966
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: Texans Radio. Here we go, Texans Radio. We roll on

967
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: and get ready for the playoff game on Saturday, the

968
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: first of several Let's just see how that statement goes

969
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: freezing cold takes. I think not all right. We'll find out.

970
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: Mark vandermarn John Harris with you, Johnny, how are you

971
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: feeling good?

972
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting not having a playoff game since

973
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 7: twenty January twenty twenty, we have, we haven't had a

974
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 7: playoff game post COVID, But I feel like Saturday was

975
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 7: a really good run through. Yeah, yeah, I felt very

976
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 7: much playoff game like Atmosphere was incredible and you kind

977
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 7: of went through the playoff process basically because it was

978
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 7: win in advance, losing and you know, come back home.

979
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: This feels very different in that it's at home, but

980
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: otherwise it feels similar. Yeah, because I considered last week

981
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: like the playoffs, where it wasn't a calendar. We had

982
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: never been in January before we talked about that with

983
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 1: the week seventeen thing, So it just felt like.

984
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 2: Such a playoff game.

985
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think that was it was great experience

986
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 7: for the team to have gone through, and it's obviously

987
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 7: a great experience for us to go through, especially not

988
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 7: having called, you know, a playoff game since that one

989
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 7: in Kansas City, which we'd like to all forget in

990
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 7: some sense, but it was. It was tremendous. And I

991
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 7: always said, with you know, a playoff game in particular,

992
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 7: just give me my guys, Just give me, just give

993
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 7: me the guys and let's go see where we are.

994
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 7: And yeah, obviously they're still in the large number of

995
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 7: guys questionable for this game, but hopefully you're going to

996
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 7: get a decent portion of them. So you're gonna feel

997
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 7: like you're walking into that fight with you know, both

998
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 7: fists up as opposed to it felt like last time.

999
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 7: You're like, man, it felt like one hand was tied

1000
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 7: behind our back and we were doing the best we

1001
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 7: could with it. So I just want to go into

1002
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 7: big games with all you got, everything you got. I

1003
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 7: think about that twenty eighteen game against the Colts, and

1004
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 7: you know, we started to get back in a little

1005
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 7: bit and then hop got hurt, like okay, we're toasted

1006
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 7: at that point, and so you just want to be

1007
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 7: you know, twenty fifteen, you know, JJ went out in

1008
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 7: the third quarter with an injury that obviously knocked him

1009
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 7: down the next year. So you just want to be

1010
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 7: as healthy as possible and just have your best ready

1011
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 7: to go. And they play at their best, and it

1012
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 7: felt like Saturday night, even though we were without some

1013
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 7: key guys, it felt like the guys were.

1014
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: At their best.

1015
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 7: And now it's going to have to do that with

1016
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 7: hopefully some more additions to the mix against a really

1017
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 7: good football team that I said, you know, I said

1018
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 7: this on Texas Monday, not Texas Monday. It was Tuesday

1019
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 7: when we talked about it. It's the best football team

1020
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 7: that I saw all year live. The Browns were incredible.

1021
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 7: They were really really good that day, and they flummixed

1022
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 7: us and they got after us, and you know, you

1023
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 7: got to make some adjustments.

1024
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: You got to make some changes.

1025
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 7: And that's one thing Mark I always find interesting is

1026
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 7: when you play a team a second time, the team

1027
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 7: that has won. I think about our Jacksonville games this year,

1028
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 7: we went to Jacksonville. They're thinking about London, we walk

1029
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 7: in there, just put it on them, absolutely put it

1030
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 7: on them. When they came here for the second game,

1031
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 7: you obviously don't want to get away from what you

1032
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 7: did well in that game, but they've got to make

1033
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 7: the adjustments because they lost. So as the winning team,

1034
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 7: you're kind of like, well, you know, we did this

1035
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 7: and we're gonna, you know, do it again, because you'd

1036
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 7: be kind of dumb if it worked and then you

1037
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 7: got away from it. Right, I'm curious how the Browns

1038
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 7: will react once we make some adjustments to them, like okay,

1039
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 7: what's their adjustment to our adjustment?

1040
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: And then the adjustment game kind of goes on.

1041
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 7: I'm really curious how that kind of goes But I

1042
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 7: just feel better that we've got the majority, seemingly of

1043
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 7: our of our squad going on on Saturday and asking

1044
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 7: be good.

1045
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 1: Well, when you talk about the second time playing a team,

1046
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: because this is the what fourth time it's gonna happen

1047
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: this year? Right because of your division opponents? Well, when

1048
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: you look at the Jags, as bad as everything felt

1049
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: and went against the Jaguars at home in the second meeting,

1050
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: there you are in basketball, you'd say the ball on

1051
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: the rim right, you had the football on the crossbar,

1052
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 1: and you were that close to tying the game.

1053
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: With everything that went wrong that day.

1054
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: You did not play well, but you had a chance

1055
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: to tie extend things, and who knows what happens at

1056
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: that point, but it was what it was. Okay, Now

1057
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: against the Titans second time, very nice. Against the Colts

1058
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: the second time, very nice. Now it's Cleveland the second time.

1059
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. Fill in the blank here,

1060
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: we'll fill it out on Saturday afternoon. A couple of

1061
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,479
Speaker 1: other things I wanted to get to with you because

1062
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: we talked about this with the general earlier. But I'm

1063
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: still blown away about this week and all these coaches

1064
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: retiring or saying goodbye to their franchises, at least their

1065
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: positions in the case of Pete Carroll. And there's so

1066
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: many different angles to this. I saw one tweet that

1067
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: said they should all get together on this same team.

1068
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: Would be the expendables coaching staff, you know, do that?

1069
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: That would be boss Arians kind of have that with Arizona.

1070
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: Big Little was Tom Moore on that staff. Tom Moore

1071
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 1: is on that staff.

1072
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 7: They had a past h was Jim Hannafan on that side.

1073
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Jim.

1074
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 7: Hanffin was was earlier, but like Larry's Arelan was on

1075
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 7: that staff.

1076
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: He had he had a group of young coaches.

1077
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 7: But what he did was he added in like three

1078
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 7: or four probably sixty five year old plus coaches on

1079
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 7: that roster. And I want to say, his name is

1080
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 7: Tom Pratt, who is a pass rush specialist.

1081
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: And had been around. I mean he had seen some things.

1082
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: Tom Pratt had been around, but he had Tom Moore.

1083
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 7: I mean, he had a very interesting staff because I know,

1084
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 7: for Larry, the offensive line coach, I want to say,

1085
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 7: his name was Goodwin and he was a younger guy,

1086
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 7: probably probably early thirties. And then here's Larry in his

1087
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 7: you know, sixties, you know, helping him, you know, as

1088
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 7: the offensive line assistant to be able to help him.

1089
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 7: And I just thought that was a really interesting way

1090
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 7: of putting a coaching staff together, is to have younger

1091
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 7: position coaches, but yet your senior assistants that you've brought

1092
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 7: in have been around, They've seen a lot of stuff

1093
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 7: in the league. And I thought it was pretty interesting

1094
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 7: how they put it together. But saving Carol Belichick Vrabel

1095
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 7: on the same team.

1096
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: I was way off with Hannafin by the way, I

1097
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: mean he departed things ten years earlier. But they did

1098
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: have some older guys on the staff. And you mentioned

1099
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 1: Larry's air line as well. But here, as we look

1100
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: at what these guys are gonna do Bill Belichick, we

1101
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,240
Speaker 1: don't know yet. Pete Carroll is gonna stay with Seattle

1102
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: as a consultant type person unless he gets another job

1103
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: off or I would imagine Nick Saban Johnny more impressive

1104
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick did with the Patriots, or what Nick Saban

1105
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: has done with his entire career Belichick with the Patriots.

1106
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: And I say that sort of quickly.

1107
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 2: I agree with you, by the way.

1108
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: I say that sort of quil I don't think there's

1109
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 1: any question.

1110
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 7: But go on, but in college football, there really are

1111
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 7: about ten to twelve teams that can win a championship

1112
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 7: every single year. In the NFL is thirty two, right,

1113
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 7: And if you're like, well, you know there's teams that

1114
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 7: aren't gonna be in there, Like did you think we

1115
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 7: were going to be in there? A lot of people

1116
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 7: out there listening, a lot of you were like, oh,

1117
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 7: the Texans aren't going to play.

1118
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: I mean, but here we are. We got a shot.

1119
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: We're in the dance.

1120
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 7: So you have a chance in the NFL, and for

1121
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 7: Bill Belichick to have won six championships with a salary.

1122
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: Cap roster, that's it right to me.

1123
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,479
Speaker 7: That's in free agency, where you can go from team

1124
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 7: to team to team. You can't keep the team together

1125
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 7: for a long period of time. You know, the magic

1126
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 7: act in some sense of keeping Brady and you know

1127
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 7: having Brady, you know, take below market deals or whatever

1128
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 7: the case might be.

1129
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: You know that's part of the part of the magic

1130
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: of Belichick. Whatever the case.

1131
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 2: I'll give you another way to look at it.

1132
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: In college football, you could win the National chick Championship

1133
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: and you get the top recruit. You're in the NFL, right,

1134
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: you win the championship, You're not getting the top recruit.

1135
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: The worst team is getting the top recruit, the top

1136
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: draft pick, and you don't have any shot at that

1137
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: unless you trade a bazillion things to get it. So

1138
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: it's very difficult. The deck is stacked against you to

1139
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: continue your success. You talked about it the other day

1140
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: when you mentioned the differences of the Chiefs roster, you

1141
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: never mind the Texans since the twenty twenty season opener,

1142
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: The Chiefs since the twenty twenty season opener. So different,

1143
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: yet you still see Mahomes and Kelsey. That feels the

1144
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: same because Andrey Reid is there. It's so different, yet

1145
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: they're still finding ways to win and be in the postseason.

1146
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 7: Absolutely, and the way that player movement takes place in

1147
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 7: the NFL. For Belichick to have, I'll say mastered it.

1148
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 7: But I mean he got Randy Moss for a fourth

1149
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 7: round pick and.

1150
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: Then Moss comes in.

1151
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 7: Now, they never won a championship with Moss, but obviously

1152
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 7: Moss had some tremendous years there. You know, he got

1153
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 7: Wes Welker off the waiver scrap heat basically, well, Trellian Edelman,

1154
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 7: he drafts and calls up and says, I don't know

1155
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 7: we're gonna play you, but we're going to draft.

1156
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 1: You and figure it out.

1157
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then Julianellmen becomes one of the great slot receivers.

1158
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: Well, that is a great spot you could tell. You

1159
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: could say all you want about. Oh, they lucked out

1160
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: with Brady in the sixth round, and there is a

1161
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of luck to that, but they're the ones who

1162
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: picked them, so give them credit there. They're the ones

1163
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 1: who picked Edelman and developed him. Give him some credit there.

1164
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: Edelman shined here in the twenty two thousand and nine

1165
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: season finale when Welker went down with a knee injury. Edelman,

1166
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 1: We're thinking, this number eleven is torching the Texans today.

1167
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 1: Who is this dude? Well, he's a pretty good player.

1168
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, So to me, it's it's Belichick. And I don't

1169
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 7: want to say it's not close, but when and you

1170
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 7: bring up a great point like how many times Alabama

1171
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 7: have the number one recruiting class after they won a

1172
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 7: national championship. Sure, so they were always able to have

1173
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 7: those classes and.

1174
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: Just you know, redo it one year after next.

1175
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 7: Now, I will say there is a different type of leadership.

1176
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's the right way of saying it,

1177
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 7: but when you're coaching eighteen to twenty two year old

1178
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 7: kids basically versus grown adults, the coaching.

1179
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,919
Speaker 1: Acumen has to be a little bit different. And Nick

1180
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: was able to get eighteen.

1181
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 7: To twenty two year old kids to do what he

1182
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 7: wanted him to do enough to win championships.

1183
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 1: So to me, there's feathers in the cap for both

1184
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: of them.

1185
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 7: But I don't think that you can ever compare a

1186
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,280
Speaker 7: college to the NFL, especially at a high level program,

1187
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 7: and say, well, yeah, this guy won a bunch at college,

1188
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 7: and I think Nick end up with seven sixth Alabama

1189
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 7: one LSU.

1190
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: Well that's one more than the Belichick.

1191
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, but Belichick was dealing with the cap league, free agency,

1192
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 7: player constant player movement and still won six. Oh yeah,

1193
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 7: that wasn't happening in college football until now. Now we've

1194
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 7: gotten a little bit more of the NIL and the

1195
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 7: transfer portal, and you've gotten a bit of free agency

1196
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 7: to go on with college football. So let's see you

1197
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 7: in college football at this point win seven championships in

1198
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 7: how many ever years? But tip the captain Nick Saban

1199
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 7: for what he's done. I mean, well, it was incredible.

1200
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 7: There were some rumblings at the end of the year

1201
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 7: like this might happen. It might, But now that it's here,

1202
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 7: the fact that Saban Carol Belichick Vrabel all within like

1203
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 7: forty eight hours is mind.

1204
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: Blowing in all different circumstances. I think with Saban, I

1205
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: want to be clear here, I'm not saying Saban's terrible

1206
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: or anything. I just think Belichick's accomplishments outwaigh. What Saban

1207
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: was able to do at Alabama, which was incredible. It

1208
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: was incredible what he did. In fact, I'll support him

1209
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: right here Alabama, Johnny, this is not a hot take.

1210
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: It's not that great of a job. It's not. Let's

1211
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: be clear here, how many Natties did they have between

1212
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,479
Speaker 1: Bear Bryan and Nick Saban? One?

1213
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 2: Right?

1214
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: Stallings that songs got one, Stalling's got one.

1215
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 2: That's it.

1216
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: It's not like Alabama was forever this hotbed or whatever. Recruiting.

1217
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: Talk to Georgia a little bit better there. You're basically

1218
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: in suburban Atlanta and Georgia is a hotbed of high

1219
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: school talent and it borders on Florida last I checked.

1220
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: So Georgia has a much better situation as far as

1221
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: recruiting than Alabama. Now, the money is the money, I

1222
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: get it, and they have deep pockets the alums. They

1223
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: want to keep that thing going. I also saw a

1224
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: great tweet. I forget who did this, so I'm not

1225
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: going to give it justice. But talking about the business effect,

1226
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: they called it the flute effect that Saban had on

1227
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: the university because the enrollment shot up, It's skyrocketed. What

1228
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: it meant extra students going there out of state versus

1229
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: in state tuition. The prices are hired to go for

1230
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: the out of state kids, and they flock in because

1231
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: largely or in addition to whatever else they've got to offer,

1232
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: which includes academics. Because those students pay higher prices, you're

1233
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: making more money. Helps the university even more so. The

1234
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: sab And effect, the Flute effect, by the way, is

1235
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: Fluty drove up the Boston college admissions like crazy in

1236
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: the eighties when he won the Heisman Trophy. That's why

1237
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: they call it that. So I give him a lot

1238
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: of credit for that. It's just a different animal. It's

1239
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: a different sport when you compare college coaching and basketball too,

1240
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: by the way.

1241
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, when you compare that with the NFL. Yeah, absolutely,

1242
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 7: But you brought up a great point. I love the

1243
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 7: Fluy effect. I love talking about that because you hear

1244
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 7: the the academics say, well, you know, football drives everything,

1245
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 7: and then it's so powerful.

1246
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there.

1247
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 7: Are students coming to your tuoda and you come to

1248
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 7: your university because yeah, they want to get education, but

1249
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 7: they love football and they love a football environment. And

1250
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 7: it's Alabama is out there all the time. Because you

1251
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 7: hear them every single Saturday. You see them every single Saturday.

1252
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 7: You see the fans and you're like, man, I'd like

1253
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 7: to be a part of that, just as a fan.

1254
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 7: Just then you go down there and you visit, like, man,

1255
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 7: this is the quintessential college southern college town, and man,

1256
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 7: this is really cool. And they end up with with

1257
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 7: with students from They've got a lot of students from Texas,

1258
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 7: from Houston. I know a number of number of students

1259
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 7: that have come from Houston that have gone to the

1260
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 7: University of Alabama and Auburn too, by the way, Yeah, absolutely,

1261
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 7: and both idyllic campuses. I've not been to Alabama, but

1262
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 7: I've been to Auburn. Auburn's it's incredibly gorgeous, southern idealic campus,

1263
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 7: beautiful tree cover, and if you're there on.

1264
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: Just a gorgeous, beautiful day, you're like, Wow, why would

1265
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: I ever leave a place like this?

1266
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Gorgeous?

1267
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 10: You know what?

1268
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: You know what else, I've never been to Arkansas campus,

1269
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: and I heard that's gorgeous as well.

1270
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 7: It's gorgeous for a different, well not different reason, but

1271
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 7: being up in the hills, Holy cat, Holy ca.

1272
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: I've heard it's amazing and itought really I just did.

1273
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: I just did the Windshield Tour.

1274
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 7: We were up there playing a baseball tournament when I

1275
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 7: was in high school, and so we were staying with

1276
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 7: our foster families up there, and so we were near

1277
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 7: Fayetteville and like, hey, let's go take a look at me.

1278
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 7: We were up in the mountains. I mean, is it

1279
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 7: was a really it was a beautiful, beautiful just drive

1280
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 7: the university was incredible.

1281
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: Some of the regrets I have of my college broadcasting

1282
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: days that I never got to do a game there,

1283
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: and also OU never did a game at OU, did

1284
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: games at UT, did games at A and M did

1285
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: basketball games at both those places. But you know, I

1286
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: was there on campus and experienced some things. So anyway,

1287
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: let's get to this because with all the coaching stuff,

1288
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: this definitely applies to the Texans who are in the postseason.

1289
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: All the other AFC South teams at home whacking people.

1290
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville wax its defensive staff, Tennessee whax everybody. And we

1291
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: move on here. Because the Texans shocked the AFC South world.

1292
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I know it's a fourteen world, but they shocked everybody,

1293
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: including some people in Houston, that they were able to

1294
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: win the division and by the way. I cannot stop

1295
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: staring at the graphic on the Texans app or wherever

1296
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: you've seen it on social media of Tamiko and it

1297
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: says AFC South Champions and it has little illustrations of

1298
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: the players, and it's so good that they won the division.

1299
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm still blown away. All right back to now gone

1300
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: from Tennessee. This is seismic for the AFC South. Obviously,

1301
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: when one team changes a coach, it affects everything. So

1302
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see who they end up with

1303
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: and what The athletic did an extensive story on the

1304
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: breakdown in communication, and we touched on this with the

1305
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: general last hour, but we got to get there again,

1306
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: the breakdown and communication between Mike Vrabel and the Adams

1307
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: family and Ran Carthen and how the whole thing went down.

1308
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: It really is a saga. It's almost thirty for thirty worthy, yeah,

1309
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: and it's soap opera worthy in some sense. And it

1310
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: just shows you.

1311
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 7: That ego and communication are two of the most massive

1312
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 7: things for a professional sports organization to have, and that's

1313
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 7: really what this was kind of all about, and it

1314
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 7: had to do.

1315
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: There's so many different convoluted things.

1316
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 7: Joe rex Road and Diane Rassini contributed to the story

1317
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 7: for The Athletic. One of the things that they mentioned

1318
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 7: was how upset Amy Adams strunk was the fact that

1319
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 7: the Texans went in there all and without c. J.

1320
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 7: Stroud went in there and beat that team as they

1321
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 7: were wearing their oilers jerseys.

1322
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: She was absolutely furious.

1323
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 2: This is awesome.

1324
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Doesn't just validate everything, absolutely, it didn't need validation, but

1325
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: it further validates. It shows you how special that day was.

1326
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: And we talked about it with Greg Grissom earlier about

1327
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: how there's so many victories this year you could point

1328
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: to just unto themselves and say that was so special.

1329
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: That was a Bowl game that day. It really was.

1330
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: You went up there, they were in the oiler uniforms case.

1331
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Keenom does the job and just to hear after the fact,

1332
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: to get semi confirmation through this story that she was

1333
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: so upset about it that might have almost directly led

1334
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: to the firing. That might have been a straw that

1335
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: broke the camel's back to get rid of Rabel. That

1336
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: is awesome, Yeah, very.

1337
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 7: And there were other there are other points of contention,

1338
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 7: and you brought this up. I can't remember if it

1339
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 7: was on there off there you brought this up. It

1340
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 7: was at some point we talked about Mike Rabel being

1341
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 7: inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame or Ring of

1342
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 7: Honor and whatever they call it. And so he went

1343
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 7: up there and they give him the red jacket, and

1344
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 7: his speech to the fans was essentially and into the

1345
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 7: former players and current players, like, hey, you guys, have

1346
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 7: a good up here. I've been other places and it's

1347
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 7: not like this that was interpreted back in Nashville.

1348
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,479
Speaker 1: That's a shot to the employer he worked for very much.

1349
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 7: So and you asked me, and I just kind of

1350
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 7: poop pooted, like that is whatever is.

1351
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't referring to speech though, I was referring to

1352
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: it going at all. It's during the season. Really, you're

1353
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: going up there. You're gonna go up there to be

1354
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: inducted during the year. It would be one thing if

1355
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: it was in May or something and it's a dinner.

1356
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: This is a game. You're a head coach sitting in

1357
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: the press box or the suite rather coming down of

1358
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: the field getting honored. I don't agree with that at all.

1359
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: Wait another day, do it another time, or just don't

1360
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: show up at all, your a rival, you hope your arrival.

1361
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: You beat him in the playoffs in twenty nineteen.

1362
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 7: Some crafty work by the Patriots fans, because apparently it's

1363
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 7: the Patriots fans who vote on who gets into the

1364
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 7: Patriots Hall of Fame, so maybe they had some nefarious

1365
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 7: way of going about it, like, hey, maybe this will

1366
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 7: anger everybody in Nashville, and it did. I don't think

1367
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 7: the Patriots fans, I'm not gonna give him that much credit.

1368
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: But that was that was another. That was another one.

1369
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 7: But so you've got large egos when you're talking about

1370
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 7: a principal owner, a head coach, and a GM. So

1371
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 7: when John Robinson was fired, apparently Vrabel didn't have to

1372
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 7: say that. I thought he would have in the GM

1373
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 7: that Amy Adams Trunk really liked Rand Carthon, and Rabel said, yeah,

1374
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,919
Speaker 7: I think he's good, but I think it's it's gonna

1375
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 7: be a bit overwhelming to be the general manager. I

1376
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 7: think he should be the number two in charge here,

1377
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 7: number three in charge, whatever it was, be the assistant GM.

1378
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: And she apparently didn't care for that all that much.

1379
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 2: She didn't want to give him power.

1380
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 7: So that so that situation happens. Then one of the

1381
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 7: things that happened after apparently that whole Patriots the bacle

1382
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 7: for the Titans. Apparently he never went up and refuted

1383
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 7: all the talk about, oh, the Patriots are going to

1384
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 7: make a play for Vrabel, and he was like, well,

1385
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 7: why do I have to do that. I mean, that's

1386
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 7: just salacious rumors. I'm not going to respond to salatious rumors.

1387
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 7: But apparently they wanted him to shoot that down. And

1388
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 7: because he didn't shoot it down, because he didn't think

1389
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 7: he needed to, did anybody ask him though, right, Well,

1390
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 7: I don't know, they got upset. So again it goes

1391
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 7: back to communication at that point, it's, you know, some

1392
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 7: of the things that the owner person, some of the

1393
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 7: things the head coach perceived, they didn't discuss it or

1394
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 7: communicate it, kind of work through it, and then it

1395
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 7: becomes contentious and then by the end they're not talking

1396
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 7: about it, and there's hard feelings on either side, and

1397
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 7: it leads to a two minute meeting on Tuesday hour,

1398
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,439
Speaker 7: Monday after the season, and Rabel's out two minutes, two

1399
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 7: minutes coach the year. In twenty twenty one, two years later,

1400
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 7: he gets two minutes and he's.

1401
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Out welcome to the NFL, because that's how it goes. Look,

1402
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,959
Speaker 1: when they hired Ran kart On, I was surprised because

1403
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: I thought Rabel would be able to make the hire.

1404
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: I thought Rabel would get control, have control, they would

1405
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: trust him. And I'm not saying it's right, wrong, or

1406
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: in between. That's just what I thought was going to

1407
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: happen in Nashville. It obviously didn't happen. And look what happened.

1408
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,959
Speaker 1: I went off about John Robinson the other day, saying, hey,

1409
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: they've always had a winner with John Robinson and he

1410
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: didn't do everything right. And a lot of guys say, no,

1411
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: he did a lot wrong. Mark, You're wrong about John Robinson. Yeah, well,

1412
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: how's it going now? But you know, you guys be right,

1413
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: you be right. How's it going now? You tell me

1414
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: and we'll see where it goes from here. And I'm

1415
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: watching this closely. Obviously we all are all these hires

1416
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: because you know, you want somebody going to Nashville that

1417
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: you feel good about, and I feel good about. I

1418
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: mean that the Texans can take advantage of. So we'll

1419
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: see how this goes.

1420
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1421
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 7: Absolutely, when you talk about you know, coaches Vrabel was there.

1422
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: His first year was eighteen. Yeah, right, eighteen. That would

1423
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: have made him.

1424
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 7: The seventh longest tenured coach in the NFL if he.

1425
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen, does it seem five years ago?

1426
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 8: Right?

1427
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 2: Right?

1428
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Five years ago? It doesn't seem like a long time. Okay,

1429
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 1: So seventh longest tenured and you have to include Belichick, Carol.

1430
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 7: Belichick right now, right now, right now, longest tenured head coach.

1431
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 1: In the NFL is Harba. No, I mean Tomlin, Tomlin, yeah,

1432
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: then Harbaugh, then Harball, yeah, one year less.

1433
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 7: Andy Reid, No, obviously he was with the Eagles before that.

1434
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 7: But he got to Kansas City twenty thirteen, tied for fourth.

1435
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 7: They all came in in twenty seventeen, Sean McDermott, Sean McVay,

1436
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 7: Kyle Shanahan.

1437
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Vrabel would have slid in between that.

1438
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 7: This is when I went, oh my gosh, tied for seventh,

1439
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:19,879
Speaker 7: Zach Taylor and Matt Lafleur.

1440
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, stars got there.

1441
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 2: I know. Hey.

1442
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: To me, it feels like Andy Reid just got to

1443
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: Kansas citis. But that's my life. That's how I feel.

1444
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: It just feels like they got there.

1445
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 7: Now tied for ninth Kevin Stefanski and Mike McCarthy with

1446
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 7: the Cowboys. What Yes, Mike McCarthy is one of the

1447
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 7: top ten longest tenured head coaches with his stint with

1448
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 7: the Cowboys.

1449
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: When you have six seven openings a year, this is

1450
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. You know, in two years you clean

1451
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: out half the league and there you go. So that's

1452
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: how it all works. Coming up a Nico Collins appreciation segment.

1453
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: Nico plays Nic Go. Interviews are on Nico.

1454
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 2: CJ.

1455
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: Stroud on Nico, Let's get to Nico Collins his own

1456
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: appreciation segment next on Texans Radio, as promised a Nico

1457
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Collins appreciation segment for the third year receiver out of

1458
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: Michigan who put on a show this year. Almost got

1459
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: to thirteen hundred yards twelve ninety seven on eighty catches

1460
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: career bests for Nico Collins, only the third ever Texans

1461
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: receiver to eclipse twelve hundred yards in a campaign. Eight

1462
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Nico and yards per catch, this is another

1463
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: number we look for. Noah Brown actually got fourth in

1464
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: the entire NFL on thirty three catches seventeen point two

1465
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,759
Speaker 1: That is awesome stuff. But Nico with his eighty catches,

1466
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: he was seventh in the NFL in yards per catch

1467
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: sixteen point two good stuff. Is that enough numbers for you?

1468
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to Nick Cassio's assessment, because we asked the

1469
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 1: executive vice president and general manager about how gratified he

1470
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: was seeing a guy he drafted in twenty twenty one

1471
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: do this in twenty twenty three.

1472
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, You're always happy for the players when they have success.

1473
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 13: Nico's worked really hard, He's put a lot of time

1474
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 13: and kind of going what we just talked about, I

1475
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 13: think there was belief for me. Nico has always been

1476
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 13: a talented player. He had a great offseason of preparation,

1477
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 13: and there's some things that we modify. We've talked about

1478
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 13: in the show a little bit kind of how we

1479
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 13: play in terms of emphasizing some of the run after

1480
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 13: catch principles, how we coach it, how we teach it.

1481
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 13: Bile he brought that with him from San Francisco, and

1482
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 13: then you saw manifest itself into Nico's play. I mean,

1483
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 13: Nikos sixty four to two hundred and twenty five to

1484
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 13: thirty pounds, He's a big, strong, physical player and you

1485
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 13: saw that more and more this season, and he executed.

1486
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 13: The big thing with Nico is just each week you

1487
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 13: could count on him. He was dependable, and he has

1488
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,799
Speaker 13: really strong hands, and he makes a lot of catches,

1489
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 13: contested catches, and then he was better with the ball

1490
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 13: this year than he'd been in a pass So it's

1491
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 13: a credit to Nico. It's a credit to the work

1492
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 13: that he put in with a quarterback. It's credit to

1493
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 13: coach McDaniels, who spent a lot of time with him

1494
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 13: really off over the course of all three seasons. So

1495
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 13: you know, fortunate to have Nico here and excited to

1496
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 13: see him have success.

1497
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: All Right, there's Nick Casserio on Nico Collins. As the

1498
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:18,440
Speaker 1: Nico Collins appreciation segment continues, What about quarterbacks? CJ. Stroud

1499
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: as Stroud helped Nico Collins light it up on Saturday night,

1500
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: almost two hundred receiving yards. He was electric. Here's the

1501
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: QB on Nico.

1502
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 14: I think he just stamped stamped who he is. I

1503
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 14: told him when our first time ever working out together, said, bro.

1504
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:36,959
Speaker 8: You a superstar.

1505
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 14: All right, even though I was young, I never even

1506
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 14: snapped the ball in the league, but I just can

1507
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 14: I know good receivers. I mean, I played at Holstaatele.

1508
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 14: We have tremendous receivers and you see what they did.

1509
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 14: But I tell him, man, my goal is to is

1510
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 14: to make you look as best as best as you can,

1511
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 14: to make you look like you. And I appreciate him

1512
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 14: being being just a consistent, great friend and me somebody

1513
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 14: who I can just let my hair down with. And

1514
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 14: I think our chemistry it shows on the field, you know,

1515
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 14: our friendship shows on the field. So I'm super proud

1516
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 14: of that dude, man, And it's just a beginning for him.

1517
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: More from the Nico Collins appreciation segment. Johnny and I

1518
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: visited with him a while back, as we got to

1519
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 1: know him a whole lot better. Let's drop in on

1520
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: some of that conversation for.

1521
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 7: Those people that don't know, You've got to be one

1522
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 7: of the nicest people we've ever met. But on the field,

1523
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 7: do you have to go to somewhere different in your mind?

1524
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: Nico, Like, do you have to you know the great ones?

1525
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 7: You know, Jordan always tells a story about the Bradford

1526
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 7: Smith where the Bradford had score thirty seven on him

1527
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 7: the day before, you know, literally the day before and

1528
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 7: he kept that in his mind. He's talked about how

1529
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 7: the Bradford Smith had said these things to him, and

1530
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 7: he never did.

1531
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: But Jordan was just creating that in his mind. He

1532
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 1: had to go to a place out in the court.

1533
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 7: Do you have to go to like a different place

1534
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 7: mentally to be on the field, because you are the

1535
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 7: nicest guy I think we've.

1536
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Ever met in this studio. Do you have to go

1537
01:13:59,160 --> 01:13:59,800

01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 15: been putting in, and it's gonna show up.

1548
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: All right. So Johnny talked about Michael Jordan, who played

1549
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: his last finals before you were born. I didn't even

1550
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: think about it. Yeah, yeah, all right, But let's talk

1551
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: about this. Your favorite athletes growing up, no matter what

1552
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 1: the sport was, whether it's football, basketball, baseball, whatever it

1553
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: could be, share with us some.

1554
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 15: Of that I say basketball, I say Lebron. I say,

1555
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 15: that's the guy.

1556
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Have you gotten into any major Lebron versus Michael debates

1557
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: and have to go back and look at Jordan's a

1558
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: little bit.

1559
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot, man, a lot.

1560
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 15: You know, I'm not really sure with the Jordan because

1561
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 15: that was my era, you know, so I really can't.

1562
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 2: I can't.

1563
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 15: I can't art that by that one, you know, so

1564
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 15: I can say Lebron, man, he's a dog. You ever

1565
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 15: since I'm watching him, you know, since I was playing

1566
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 15: AAU and playing basketball. You know, that's one guy wanted

1567
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 15: to be like. And I'll say it was up to me.

1568
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 15: I say, Lebron maybe better than Jordan. I say that

1569
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 15: I will still be friendly. We'll still be friends.

1570
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: For It's funny with basketball football because in this game

1571
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: you have to be so patient to get your opportunities right.

1572
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: In basketball, you're getting the ball every time down the floor,

1573
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: every other time. You know you're gonna have it in

1574
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: your hands. Even if you don't shoot, you're gonna be

1575
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: able to impact things. Sometimes as a receiver, well you're

1576
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: trying to get people to come with you or you

1577
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: know you might not get the ball. You have four catches.

1578
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good day. You know, I know you

1579
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: want more, but you have to have a lot of patience.

1580
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, you do, you do, man, you know, because like

1581
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 15: I said, in practice, you know, it's different in the game.

1582
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 15: You know, you think, you know, in practice gonna get

1583
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 15: scout team. But thinking practice are getting how to catch?

1584
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 15: It is like, oh yeah, in a game, hopefully I

1585
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 15: get the same. But time is different.

1586
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 11: Man.

1587
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 15: You know, it's things you got to adapt to, you

1588
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 15: know for sure. But I'm glad, you know, in a

1589
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 15: great position. You know, I'm glad to get for targets.

1590
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 15: You know, great have an opportunity.

1591
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 7: I'm sure you being a Lebron fan, you know he's

1592
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 7: a tremendous receiver too.

1593
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 1: In high school he's a tremendous receiver. So right he was,

1594
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: he was incredible.

1595
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 7: He stopped playing football his senior year because well he

1596
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 7: knew he was the chosen one.

1597
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 1: He was gonna go play.

1598
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 7: But a lot of kids, Nico now are like I'm

1599
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 7: specializing in one sport.

1600
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 1: You played a couple of sports.

1601
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:27,879
Speaker 7: How to play in basketball make you a better football

1602
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 7: player and vice versa.

1603
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, I say, just like rebounding basketball bound the ball

1604
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 15: bound off the rim, you go get it the highest point,

1605
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 15: you know, just like catching the fade almost you know,

1606
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 15: when the ball and there you go take it at

1607
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 15: the highest point.

1608
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 2: I say, what Just.

1609
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: Footwork, you know, just body positioning.

1610
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 15: His position to boxing out and just quick changing directions,

1611
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 15: you know, because the receiver do the same, come in

1612
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 15: out of breaks, and I feel like just thinks like

1613
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 15: that really translated from the court to the football field.

1614
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 1: How's the camaraderie between you guys in the receiver's room,

1615
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: everybody together. How do you guys get along a lot?

1616
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:02,599

1620

01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: we will hear from Kevin Stefanski, the other Coach of

1847

Speaker 1: the Year candidate, coach in the Cleveland Browns. What does

1848
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: he have to say of this matchup with the Houston Texans.

1849
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 1: It's next on Texans Radio Texans Radio final segment of tonight.

1850
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 1: And I mentioned it before the break. I'll mention it

1851
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 1: again that on Friday Nights, Johnny and Drew they do

1852
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: this behind enemy Lines segment interviewing a media member from

1853
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: the opposing team. Listen, let's hear from the head coach.

1854
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: Let's do that. Let's hijack this segment with Kevin Stefanski

1855
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: who worked in Minnesota. Gary Kubiak worked with him and

1856
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: really liked him, thought highly of his talent. Obviously a

1857
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 1: talented head coach. He's already won one Coach of the

1858
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Year award. Let's see if he can win another. And

1859
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 1: let's hope not, because I think our guy deserves it.

1860
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,879
Speaker 1: I've got over this material. Maybe I'll hit that again tomorrow,

1861
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: but let's hit this. Kevin Stefanski led the Browns coach

1862
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 1: the Browns to a victory over the Texans on Christmas Eve,

1863
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: but he's clear, he's no dummy. This is a different

1864
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: Texans team than the Browns saw at the time it'll

1865
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: be almost three weeks ago.

1866
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 16: Excited about the opportunity in front of us going down

1867
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 16: there to play a very, very good Houston team. We're

1868
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 16: also excited that we're the first game. We don't have

1869
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 16: to wait nextra day, so we get to get up

1870
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 16: and go. But you know, looking at this game, I

1871
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 16: know we recently played this team. As you know, they're different.

1872
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 16: Everybody's different each week.

1873
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 2: But CJ.

1874
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 16: Shroud's a great player. I mean, he's a great player,

1875
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 16: so we did not face him in the first one.

1876
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 16: You know, there's injuries that guys that are back on

1877
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 16: defense that they didn't have. They've signed a couple free

1878
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 16: agents on defense. So really, as everybody knows, you're a

1879
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 16: different team week to week, and certainly this is a

1880
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 16: different team we're facing. But I know it's a very

1881
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 16: very talented team. They're very well coached. I have a

1882
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 16: ton of respect for Demiko his entire coaching staff. So

1883
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 16: it's a great challenge. But we're really focused on on

1884
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 16: the work that's going to go into it this week.

1885
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 1: Well you could tell he's paying attention because you know

1886
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: several Texans are coming back who did not participate in

1887
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: that game, and some who did not participate in the

1888
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 1: last Texans game played, which was against the Colts and

1889
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: the victory.

1890
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 2: I don't have to refresh your memory on that one,

1891
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 2: do I.

1892
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: Stefanski also was asked about what stands out about CJ.

1893
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: Stroud when look at him on tape.

1894
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:05,759
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, he's awesome. I remember watching him early

1895
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 16: tom because we had some crossover tape and getting ready

1896
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 16: to play Baltimore. I know he played in that, that

1897
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 16: was his first game, and I think even in that

1898
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 16: game you saw some plays and some throws where you

1899
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 16: knew right away that that kid was really really talented.

1900
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 16: And you know, I know our state of scene and

1901
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 16: play quite a bit. He's a very talented young man.

1902
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 16: And I think the tape is what we as coaches

1903
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 16: always kind of go back to. And then he's got

1904
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 16: some really great tape.

1905
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 1: Well wait till you see him in person. Also, what

1906
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,040
Speaker 1: about the Texans? How different will they be, not just

1907
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: in personnel but in scheme. That was asked of coach

1908
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 1: Stefanski of the Browns.

1909
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean you play those, you talk through those

1910
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 16: type of things, and you know, same idea from our perspective.

1911
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 16: You know, it's that chess match of things that we tried.

1912
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 16: You know, are you gonna try it again? Are you

1913
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 16: gonna try it a different way? Are they going to adjust?

1914
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 16: It's it's all those things that you go into a game,

1915
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 16: you have conversations about, but you really don't know until

1916
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 16: you get into the game, and sometimes you won't know till.

1917
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 2: The third series.

1918
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 16: And so there's always that chess match that takes place

1919
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 16: between the staff and their staff and see what their

1920
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 16: answers are, and you better have counter punches ready.

1921
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: Well in a CounterPunch belongs to Joe Flacco at the

1922
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:16,000
Speaker 1: quarterback position for the Cleveland Browns, And by now you

1923
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: know the whole story that Flacco was out of football,

1924
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 1: on his couch, so to speak, and waiting for a

1925
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: phone call. Maybe he could play somewhere, and he could

1926
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,559
Speaker 1: play in Cleveland, as it turns out, and could play

1927
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 1: very well. Super Bowl, experienced Super Bowl run that was

1928
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: really amazing, didn't throw a pick in that twenty twelve

1929
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: postseason and never had a one and done as a

1930
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the NFL playing for the Baltimore Ravens

1931
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: just amazing stuff.

1932
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 2: Now, I talked with Iron Eagle.

1933
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:47,160
Speaker 1: That interview is up on the website, the app because

1934
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,799
Speaker 1: we aired it on the show last out on Texans

1935
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 1: All Access. It'll be on the Vanderpod this week as well.

1936
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 1: And Iron has been in many production meetings. This is

1937
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 1: when you sit down with several of the players and

1938
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 1: the head coach separately and you get some inside info

1939
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 1: if you well. But he told me that he's taught

1940
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: to Flacco many years in this league, getting ready for

1941
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 1: CBS broadcasts and he's doing the national Westwood one feed

1942
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 1: in this game between the Browns and the Texans. But

1943
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 1: he said Flacco was always he's always intense, had this

1944
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,640
Speaker 1: level of stress, if you will, but let's just call

1945
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 1: it intensity, and I think that's what he did. But

1946
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: he said, now Flacco seems so relaxed, just so chill

1947
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 1: about the whole thing at thirty eight years old. So

1948
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: Stefanski was asked, what does Joe Flacco do for him

1949
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 1: with all his playoff experience at this point.

1950
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,760
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think all of our veteran players that have

1951
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 16: been in these type of games and veteran coaches that

1952
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 16: have been these type of games. I think you can

1953
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 16: certainly message to the young guys through. The rookies are

1954
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:46,640
Speaker 16: really the ones that are you know, have not experienced

1955
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 16: these type of games and younger players, so you want

1956
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:51,600
Speaker 16: to just message to them again, going back to what

1957
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 16: we were talking earlier that what wins doesn't change. It

1958
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 16: ultimately does come down to doing your job and doing

1959
01:30:58,160 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 16: all those little things.

1960
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:02,120
Speaker 1: All the So we'll see how they pan out on
