17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't get in any of that. We

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: just had so much to talk about. We were firing

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,040

25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: to the current players, people you've known before.

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: How's that going?

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: It's great, man, it feels great. It's like coming home.

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 5: It's like it's like walking into your old house and

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 5: seeing all the memories and you immediately start to think

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 5: about moments and things that have happened in certain places,

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 5: and the people is really good.

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 4: It feels great.

33
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 6: You're a softy at heart. Most of us know this.

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: How many times have you shed a tear in the

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: last stuff forty eight hours?

36
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: I haven't, I haven't.

37
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: You're good.

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 5: I've definitely had some moments where it's fun to reflect

39
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 5: and think about it. You know, it is still so

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 5: early after retirement, you know. I think that's part of

41
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 5: it is you're still you know, there's a lot going on,

42
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 5: there's things happening. But I think having my son here

43
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: on Sunday will be really cool because that's a moment

44
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 5: that I have. You know, I have a moment with

45
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: my grandpa on the field here who's no longer with us,

46
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 5: and now I'll have a moment with my son, and

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 5: I think that there's some really cool, really cool memories

48
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 5: that I've had here, and it's going to be really

49
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 5: special for me to show my son.

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 4: For the first time.

51
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: What's it like seeing Demico run the team up close?

52
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Because you've observed from afar, now you see it in

53
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: the building.

54
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's incredible.

55
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 5: Obviously I know Miko and I know everything that he's

56
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 5: about and who he is. But to be in the

57
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: team meeting today, to be in the defensive meetings today,

58
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 5: and to be able to watch him work and to

59
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 5: watch the way he goes about his business, there's no

60
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 5: question whatsoever why he's already been successful so far, but

61
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: why he's going to continue to be successful. I mean,

62
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 5: just the way he goes about things, the energy he has,

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: the knowledge that he has, combined with the personality and

64
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 5: charisma that he has and the ability to connect with

65
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 5: these guys. He's a special, special coach. And I told

66
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 5: them that in the meeting this morning. I said, don't

67
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 5: take for granted the coach that you have right now,

68
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: because this is a special guy.

69
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: JJ.

70
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: When you walk back in the building, is it moments

71
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: on the field that come back to you, Is it

72
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: more the relations and ships the people.

73
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 6: What's kind of the first thing that comes back to

74
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 6: you when you walk into building.

75
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 5: You know, I didn't even think much about the field

76
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 5: till I walked out there, because I was walking around

77
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 5: the weight room, the training room, you know, the locker room,

78
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 5: the cafeteria, and I think about all the memories I

79
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 5: have with the people. So it's all about the camaraderie.

80
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 5: And it's I mean the cafeteria workers and seeing them

81
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 5: and giving them a hug, and sharing stories with Row

82
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 5: and Cap and talking to the guys in the weight room,

83
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 5: and it's all of that stuff that comes first. And

84
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: then you walk out on the field and you're like, oh, yeah,

85
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: it was a pretty cool play right there. There was

86
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: a pretty cool moment right there. So it's fun that

87
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: you have like pick sixes as your backup memories, you.

88
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: Know, backup memories.

89
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of memories, so what stands out to you

90
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: as maybe some under the radar moments because people ask

91
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: me like, what's the greatest game? One of my favorite wins,

92
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: and maybe my favorite win, which is a little more subtle,

93
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: is beating the culture the first time in Indy in

94
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen during that season where it's start out so

95
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: shaky but you.

96
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: Ended up winning the division. Do you have a couple

97
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: of those?

98
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: You know?

99
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 5: There's one everybody always asked me, like, what was the

100
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: loudest you ever heard the stadium? And there's some obvious ones.

101
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 5: I mean, the pick six in the playoffs my rookie year,

102
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 5: that Thursday night Colts game with the fumble recovery was huge.

103
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: The pick six against the Bills was big. But there's

104
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 5: a very underrated one. It was a Falcons game. I

105
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 5: remember to this day. Brooks Reed and I were standing

106
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 5: three feet from each other out on the field. We

107
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 5: were trying to communicate a game we wanted to run,

108
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 5: and I mean I saw his lips moving and I

109
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 5: did not hear a single thing that was coming out

110
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 5: of that man's mouth. My helmet was vibrating, like I've

111
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: been in loud stadiums before, and I've heard people talk

112
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 5: about loud stadiums, and I still don't know why that

113
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 5: day was that loud. It wasn't like a special occasion,

114
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 5: special game. But there was one Atlanta game that I

115
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: remember being insanely loud.

116
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: JJ when you came back in nineteen, he went out

117
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: in the Raiders game, and then there was this talk

118
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: about always gonna mistress the season. But then you come

119
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: back and you're back for that Bills playoff game and

120
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: we're down sixteen to nothing. You were just kind of

121
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: talking about this as social team and you get that sack.

122
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 6: That was loud. I mean, I don't know if that

123
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 6: was the loudest.

124
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Think the fumble recovery against the Colts on Thursday night

125
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: was the loudest.

126
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 6: I mean, that was incredible.

127
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: But when you get that sack and we're down sixteen

128
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: to nothing, did you realize what you had triggered at

129
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: that particular moment?

130
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 6: What was that moment?

131
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Like, when you get that sack on Josh Allen, the

132
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: game just completely changes.

133
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 4: It was.

134
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 5: It was a moment that you could tell needed to

135
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 5: happen for I mean, we were down sixteen nothing in

136
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 5: the third quarter, and I think when I watched it,

137
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 5: I was miked up for it. So when I watched

138
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 5: my celebration after, I think, like I knew in the

139
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 5: moment that we needed something right there, and I didn't

140
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 5: know I was going to get a sack. I mean,

141
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: I was sure as hoped, but my Peck was like

142
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 5: hanging on by literally screws and heels. But I think

143
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 5: afterwards when I celebrated as hard as I celebrated because

144
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 5: I knew, like, this is our chance. If we can

145
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: capitalize on this play and we can get this crowd

146
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 5: back into it, and we can get our guys back

147
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 5: into it, this is going to propel us. Now, I

148
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 5: didn't know all the crazy stuff that was going to

149
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 5: happen the rest of the game, but I do think

150
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: that I felt in that moment this, if it's going

151
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 5: to turn, this is going to be the moment.

152
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: I got to think that all the rehab from injuries

153
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: is something you're not going to miss, right.

154
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: Is that the hardest part of it all?

155
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: Because I know you love being with the guys and

156
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: part of a team and everything, but having to come

157
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: back from big injuries, it's tough.

158
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 4: It's the thing that makes you retire.

159
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: It's the thing that makes you retire is the It's

160
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 5: not the games, it's not the practice. It's not even

161
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 5: training camp. I mean, I don't love training camp, but

162
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 5: it's not that. It's it's the Monday morning waking up

163
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 5: after a tough loss and your body feels like crap.

164
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 5: It's the injury where you go into an MRI and

165
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 5: then you come out and they say you're you're out.

166
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 5: You know you have surgery coming out like those are

167
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 5: the things that you that make you retire. Everything about

168
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 5: the game I love. I love practice, I love the meetings.

169
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: I love going out and playing and performing with my brothers.

170
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: It's it's just the thought of having to go through

171
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 5: another one of those situations.

172
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: That you just don't want to have.

173
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: JJ. My first year in southe I was twenty fourteen.

174
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: You had a pretty good year then. I don't know

175
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: if you know this, but twenty fourteen was a pretty

176
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: good year. You did a little bit of everything. In fact,

177
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: you kind of changed the way that I look at

178
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: the game book. You know, the game books got all

179
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: the stacked columns, and I've talked about we came back

180
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: from Cleveland and you had a stat in every single column,

181
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: but maybe one What on a football field do you

182
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: wish you could have accomplished, not team wise, just individually

183
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: that you wished you could have done that maybe you

184
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: didn't do because you did a lot.

185
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 6: Is there something that you didn't do you wish you

186
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 6: could have.

187
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 4: That's a great question.

188
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 3: Throw a touchdown, Pa, Yeah, that's the one.

189
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: I probably probably would have been something like that, but like,

190
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: that's just that's just ridiculous.

191
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 6: Like wait, and now you've lined up in the wacat,

192
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 6: Yeah you were in the back.

193
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 7: I was.

194
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: I was hurt then, and we Yeah, that was a bad.

195
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 6: You had to throw off of that.

196
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure we should have not much that year.

197
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: Is funny you bring that up because like we all

198
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: knew in locker room, we look at the stats to them,

199
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 5: everybody sees it all. And I saw like going into

200
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: the last game of the season that basically everything was full,

201
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: but safety wasn't on there. And I was like, that

202
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: sounds like you're not going to get a safety. He goes, no,

203
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: that's just not going to happen. And then sure is

204
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 5: like the last game, the last sack to get twenty

205
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: and a half, to get to be the only player

206
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: to do twice and to get the safety.

207
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: That was pretty cool.

208
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 6: And getting that safety.

209
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: I always said this use a spin move, and that

210
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: was not really it was not in your repertoire. But

211
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: you used inside spin move to get that sack, which

212
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: I'd never seen. Was like, that's pretty good. No, it

213
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: was Yeah, I agree. I barely ever used the spin move.

214
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: It wasn't really my thing, but everything kind of came

215
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: together on that one. I remember on that play.

216
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: Its funny because I thought it was a safety and

217
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 5: I celebrated like it was a safety. And then you

218
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 5: watched the video board and you're like, all right, I've

219
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 5: seen them call that not a safety before. And the

220
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 5: ref they chance they went to look at it on

221
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 5: video review and I looked at the I know the

222
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 5: refor it was John Perry and he looked at me,

223
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: and I looked at him. I was like, come on, John,

224
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: And he came back from the video booth and as

225
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 5: he was going before he told the crowd, he just

226
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: looked over him.

227
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: He goes little head, and I was like, there, it

228
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: is all right.

229
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: You have unique perspective on this because being an entertainer

230
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: that you are and also a commentator on a national

231
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: TV show every week with CBS Sports, So which is harder.

232
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: You spent a week with the NFL SNL cast, all right,

233
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 2: being a cast member for that being on a TV series,

234
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: because you've done that kind of stuff. You've been in

235
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: the movies, right, So can you compare and contrast a

236
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: little bit here because you've lived all of that stuff.

237
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say I I liked SNL the most

238
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 5: by far, Like I love the live aspect of it.

239
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 5: I love the pressure of it having to be live

240
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 5: and having to do it, and I love the audience,

241
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 5: like you get immediate feedback. You know, movies and TV

242
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 5: are much much different in that nobody's allowed to laugh

243
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 5: because it has.

244
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 4: To be silent to found it.

245
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 5: So you could have a hilarious joke, or you could

246
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 5: have a great take and it's silent and you're sitting

247
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: there like, damn, did I screw up?

248
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: It's like radio exactly, but we can laugh at each.

249
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: Other and then and then there's also just so much

250
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: hurry up and wait, Like football is such a different

251
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 5: world than that world where football everything is a meat

252
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 5: on time. The exact second it's supposed to start, it starts.

253
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 5: Everything happens there. It's like you could just wait around

254
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 5: for four or five hours. So that's kind of the

255
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 5: thing that pushed me out of that space was it's

256
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 5: not my style, like I want to I don't want

257
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 5: to know my schedule and do it.

258
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: And SNL was a blast. I absolutely loved that.

259
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: SNL to get serious for a second. Your letter to

260
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: the Chronicle was amazing. I always think about the NFL players.

261
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: They don't most of them don't play in the city

262
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: where they grew up. And we know you're famously from Wisconsin,

263
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: and but you come to Houston. Why did it have

264
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: such a pull on you right away? Why does Houston

265
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: mean so much to you the way that it did?

266
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I think I think it comes down to knowing.

267
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I grew up in Wisconsin. I grew up

268
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 5: watching the Packers, and so I know the relationship that

269
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: fans have with a team, and I saw a special

270
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: one up there, obviously with the Packers and with the

271
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: state of Wisconsin. So I just assumed that that's how

272
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: it's supposed to be, and so I knew that wherever

273
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 5: I went, I was going to try and create that

274
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: same connection, because that's how it's supposed to be. Now, luckily,

275
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: I came to a city that is incredible, and the

276
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 5: people are great, and they have such an unbelievable fan

277
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 5: base and everybody loves football.

278
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: Now, they might have moved me a little bit. The beginning.

279
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 5: We didn't have the greatest relationship out of the gate.

280
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 5: But I think that made the story even better because

281
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 5: instead of discouraging me, it only made me want to

282
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 5: earn their respect even more. And every step of the way.

283
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 5: I mean, just like I said in that letter, I

284
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 5: was telling the story earlier. I'm staying at a house

285
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 5: in town that I rented out, and the people didn't

286
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 5: know it was me renting the house, but they found

287
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 5: out just before I got in, and they had my

288
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 5: favorite barbecue sitting on the countertop about it, and they

289
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 5: had toys for my son, like people don't do that

290
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 5: in other cities. Like people here are family, and I'm

291
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 5: very very thankful for that.

292
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,360

00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 8: Like I like the way our guys work this week.

316
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: All right, So you're coaching a lot of rookies and

317
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: sometimes you see this explosive growth from one week to

318
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: the next to the next. And I know you've been

319
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: around a lot of veterans as well, but you kind

320
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: of know what you have sometimes. Is it strange to

321
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: coach rookies where you don't know what the ceiling is

322
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: and you get these growth surges.

323
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 7: That's what I really love about coaching. It's coaching the

324
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 7: younger guys because they have so much potential, so much

325
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 7: room for growth, and not only the rookies, like the

326
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 7: second year guys, like that's where you see that biggest

327
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 7: jump and for us and the young guys that we

328
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: have and seeing how they're growing, especially this week you

329
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 7: talk about, I see a few guys taking steps in

330
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 7: the right direction getting better, and it's exciting for me

331
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 7: to see. And that's what really gives me that excitement

332
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 7: as a coach when I can help a young man

333
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 7: like just take a step in the direct right direction

334
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 7: of getting better.

335
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: All right, with the Steelers, Let's start with the kicking game,

336
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: because this seems like a big field position kind of

337
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: game against these guys.

338
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, a huge field position game. They're punter, right, he

339
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 7: can boom it right, a lot of big kicks. Right.

340
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 7: May sometimes I'll kicks his coverage. We may have some

341
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 7: opportunities here in our punt return game. Right, we'll have

342
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 7: some space. Guys just have to block right a little

343
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 7: bit longer than normal because he can, you know, boom

344
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 7: some big kicks. Kick return game. Also we get the

345
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 7: opportunity they hang one up. We'll see right, Beck scorer

346
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 7: last week, Let's see if we can get another one

347
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 7: this week. Who's up this week? But that's where it

348
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 7: all start. They're a very sound team and a kicking game,

349
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 7: and we've done a really good job in our kicking

350
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 7: game as well, so it'd be a really good matchup.

351
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 7: Like you said, it's always that game of hitting yardage, right.

352
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 7: Can we pin them deep? And that's something we haven't

353
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 7: done right over the past first three weeks, Like, can

354
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 7: we pin them deep and make them drive the feel

355
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 7: on us?

356
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: What about them offensively? What's key to slowing them down?

357
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: Because they mix it up real well.

358
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 7: And see, yeah, they're very very balanced offense, right, they'll

359
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 7: take call it four to five shots deep shots a game.

360
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 8: So we have to be on top.

361
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 7: Make sure we eliminate the explosive thread of pickings right

362
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 7: now up front, like big guys, big ol'd line physical, Like,

363
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 7: we have to do a really great job of stopping

364
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 7: a run.

365
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 8: That's really where they want to.

366
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 7: Hang in their hats is let lean on you run

367
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 7: the ball, run the ball, get in the third and

368
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 7: call it two to five and that's where they thrive, right,

369
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 7: So we have to do a really good job force

370
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 7: them in third and long situations and for us where

371
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 7: we haven't done a grade. That's getting off the field

372
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 7: on third down. Right, We've been close, but this week

373
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 7: we have to get off the field on third down.

374
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: Everyone's talking about their pass rush, of course for good reason.

375
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: How important is it to be patient on offense with

376
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: what you can get?

377
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 7: You really, you know, have to these you really have

378
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 7: to be patient these two guys right, well, why right?

379
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 8: They they conrec a game, right, and it's.

380
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 7: We have our hands full there. We have a plan

381
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 7: for those guys. But I think it all starts, right,

382
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 7: how do you stifle the pass rush. It's gonna start

383
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 7: with running the ball, like we got to run it.

384
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 7: We have to be committed to running the ball. They

385
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 7: gave um some explosive runs to a few teams this year,

386
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 7: so that's been my focus this week is how can

387
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 7: we create some explosive runs for our offense. I know

388
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 7: Damien is prime, he's ready to go, Like, can we

389
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 7: block a little bit longer? Can we get a hat

390
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 7: on that one guy who's been in the hole so

391
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 7: we can get an explosive run because it's there for

392
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 7: the taking.

393
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: Coach, Thanks a lot, good luck, Thanks Mark.

394
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: That man hopefully is going to be in the Ring

395
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: of Honor one day as player, coach, contributor, whatever it takes.

396
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: Miko Rids will be in at Texans Ring of Honor.

397
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: But we got a long time with Miko hopefully doing

398
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: some great things, continuing to do great things here in Houston.

399
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: But he has meant this organization unbelievable. Now, one guy

400
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: who'd love to see become a Ring of Honor honoreed

401
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: down the road is Nico Collins. He has been tearing

402
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: it up as the Texans. I don't know number one,

403
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: number two, number three, How do you decide between Robert Woods,

404
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: Tank Dell and Nico Collins. Either way, Nico has been

405
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: killing it. He is one of two of the Texans

406
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: with two hundred and fifty yards or more in receiving

407
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: and that is the mostion in the league. No team

408
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: in the league has guys with two hundred and fifty

409
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: plus yards receiving on the year, but the Texans do

410
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: with Tank Tel and Nico Collins. And Drew Doherty caught

411
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: up with Nico to talk about this one against Pittsburgh.

412
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 9: Wide receiver Nico Collins joins US. Now, Nico, this offense

413
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 9: has been rolling the last two weeks.

414
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 10: How come I.

415
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 11: Feel like we just we clicking, man. I feel like

416
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 11: we learning from our previous mistakes, correcting them and just

417
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 11: building from there.

418
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 4: You know.

419
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 11: I feel like we chasing like details each week each game.

420
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 11: I feel like it's something we learned from it. Then

421
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 11: we go to practice, attack it, and then I feel

422
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 11: like those details just keep stacking each week. And I

423
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 11: feel like, man, it's gonna get better and better for everybody.

424
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 11: You know, just game by game and just staying dialding

425
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 11: on the details and fundamentals man, and on your part man,

426
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 11: and just going out on Sunday and just leave it

427
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 11: all out there, just having fun.

428
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 9: And on a wide receiver level, each of you guys

429
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 9: each week is coming up with big plays and game

430
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 9: changing plays. And it doesn't matter who it is, it's you,

431
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 9: it's Robert Woods tanked out. What's it like being a

432
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 9: part of that wide receiver room right now and knowing

433
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 9: what you guys are doing, Man.

434
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 11: It's amazing, man, just knowing, like anybody can't go get

435
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 11: you one hundred yards to go crazy any day anytime,

436
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 11: you know, just having you know, there's a lot of

437
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 11: different playmakers in the room, man, like anybody.

438
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 12: Man, just you can't stop everybody.

439
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 11: So I just feel like there's a lot of playmakers, man,

440
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 11: and whenever everybody get the ball in their hands, you know,

441
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 11: they realle to score, you know, really make play for

442
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 11: the offense. You know, get that juice going, you know,

443
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 11: really get the momentum going for the whole team, you know,

444
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 11: because I feel like it's really it kind of starts

445
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 11: with the offense. A line, quarterbacks, man, just we need

446
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 11: those big plays. You know, take a shot downfield, you know, seven,

447
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 11: gonna put it on the dot.

448
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 12: Man, Just go and make a play.

449
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 10: I want to talk about CJ. Stroud. You said number

450
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 10: seven in just a moment. But this is no surprise

451
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 10: to you.

452
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 9: You and I have talked about this a few times recently,

453
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 9: the controlled violence with what you're playing. It's a part

454
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 9: of who you are, part of who you've been. But

455
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 9: I think this year a lot of people you've opened

456
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 9: eyes to it. They haven't seen that from you, because

457
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 9: when you get the ball. Seth Payne, he's an original

458
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 9: Houston textan.

459
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 10: He's on the radio. I think he said it best.

460
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 9: He said, you look like Mike Alstat, the old fullback

461
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 9: from the Buccaneers, just pounding people where does this controlled

462
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 9: violence come from? And how how important is it to

463
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 9: your game?

464
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 12: Man?

465
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 11: I feel like it's well, I played running back in

466
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 11: the Little League up through like middle school, so I

467
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 11: kind of already had that running back mindset, and I

468
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 11: feel like it comes to my size and my frame

469
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,440

Speaker 9: Well, you brought him up a moment ago, C J.

00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 9: Stroud kind of in union with what you were saying

484
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 9: about you guys. As an offense. Every week keeps getting better.

485
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 9: So what's that mean for him moving week three to

486
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:08,960

Speaker 11: You know, we got his back on heart, center of

490
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 11: the way, and he knows like we got his bat,

491
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 11: and you know we're gonna do whatever for him. Try

492
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 11: to catch every ball you throw, Tell him we got

493
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 11: the dude's getting better every every single week and every

494
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 11: single day. And you can just tell, you know, just

495
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 11: by the way he just carried himself, the way he

496
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,239
Speaker 11: just carried a team, man, And just you would tell

497
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 11: it's getting slower and slower for him, man, and the.

498
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 12: Scott Scott's a limb for him.

499
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: Man.

500
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 12: I just can't wait to see everything on fold.

501
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 9: Hey, offensively, you and I talked back in May, I

502
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 9: mean before you even really got going with OTAs I

503
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 9: think it was April, and you said, the beautiful thing

504
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 9: about learning this offense is it's clear we're gonna get

505
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 9: the ball into the hands of playmakers and let them

506
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 9: do the work.

507
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 10: And so far we've seen.

508
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 9: That the last two weeks. So what's more for this offense?

509
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 9: How much of a tip of the iceberg sort of

510
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 9: situation is this right now?

511
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 12: Man?

512
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 11: I feel like we're just gonna continue to do that.

513
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 11: But I feel like you come down to the small

514
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 11: details and not those self inflicted wounds we have. You know,

515
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 11: just whenever we get in the Redson, you know, we

516
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 11: gotta score. I feel like we got to stay out

517
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 11: of the third down situations. EXQ on the first and second,

518
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 11: keep going, you know, keeps on the defense on their toes.

519
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 11: You just keeping guessing because I feel like you don't

520
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 11: know who's gonna get the ball. You know, you got

521
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 11: a crazy run game. You know, you got guys on

522
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 11: the outside make plays, crazy old line.

523
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 12: So I feel like, man, it's just defense. I don't

524
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 12: know what to do.

525
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 11: You know, you got you guys play true, you know,

526
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 11: so I feel like man's grabs me for everybody. You know,

527
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 11: just have fun, make plays, you know, get the city,

528
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 11: get the city rock and get the Texans rocket man,

529
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 11: and just have fun.

530
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 9: Let's talk about this Steelers secondary. There's a couple of

531
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 9: guys that make I Fitzpatrick as safety Patrick Peterson. Those

532
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 9: guys might have yellow jackets being the Pro Football Hall

533
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 9: Fame someday. What's what's the challenge that this secondary present?

534
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 8: Yeah?

535
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 11: Man, you you already know you've been watching Pat p

536
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 11: for years. No, No, I have same with me. I'm

537
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 11: seeing him his assisted throughout the years.

538
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 7: Man.

539
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 11: But again, I feel like it's just football, same game

540
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 11: you've been playing your whole life. It's a matchup you know,

541
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 11: he's trying to stop you, and you trying to you know.

542
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: Go go ball out.

543
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 12: But I feel you gotta you gotta have the mindset

544
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 12: like I'm about to win this rep. Every rep. You know,

545
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 12: no matter who it is.

546
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 11: I feel like you gotta trusted details, man, trust your technique,

547
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 11: let the rest do it. Can't go out there no fear,

548
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 11: you know, you can't go out there with the loss

549
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 11: already in your head like it's Pat Peterson already lost

550
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 11: the matchup. That's not gonna be a good day for you.

551
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 11: You know, you gotta have the mindset like, yeah, I'm

552
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 11: about to wig on matter who it is.

553
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 10: You've been here a few years now.

554
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 9: You didn't overlap with JJ White, just missed him, but

555
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 9: clearly he means a lot. What is What are your

556
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,200

Speaker 9: to this franchise.

558
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, man, I can tell. I mean, JJ was a huge,

559
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,200

Speaker 12: You know, everybody knows JJ white Man.

565
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 11: But it's a great I feel like it's honoring for

00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,720

Speaker 12: With Thank you so much, sir.

577
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know how other people do it and

578
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: the other stations do it, but that's one hell of

579
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: a first segment. JJ Watt, Demico Ryans, and Nico Collins

580
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: right out the shoot man. That was good stuff from

581
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: all three of them. Now the Texans do take on

582
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers. We can get lost in all the pomp

583
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: and circumstances, JJ Bean home and battle red helmets and

584
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: jerseys and all that. She got to play the game

585
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: and you got knocked these Steelers out. How they gonna

586
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: do it? What are the keys to a win? I've

587
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: got my keys for you. Next right here on Texans

588
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: All Access, Let's go let's go. Welcome back to a

589
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: Friday night edition of Texans All Access from the Hodaye

590
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris, Football

591
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: on a sideline reporter, and it's time for my Keys

592
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: to a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, it has

593
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: been a while since the Texans have beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers.

594
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: In fact, are on on Sunday Ring of Honors. Own

595
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: JJ Watt was a rookie the last time that Texans

596
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: beat the Steelers. That was twelve years ago two thy

597
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: eleven at NRG Stadium. Texans lost in fourteen up in Pittsburgh,

598
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: lost in seventeen on Christmas Day back here, lost in

599
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty in the COVID season. So it now goes

600
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: back to Houston or comes back to Houston for another matchup.

601
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: We only play them every three years that I can remember,

602
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, two thousand and five, two thousand

603
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: and eight, twenty eleven, fourteen, seventy twenty, So I think

604
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: it's every three years, which is a little odd. You'd

605
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: think you'd finished in the same spot, but it just

606
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. So very infrequent meeting. But that's Okay, Texans

607
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: have won two looking to make it three, So how

608
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: do they make it three? All right? One, give me

609
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: my music to get me hyped. There it is number two.

610
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: Let's getting Tarkeisa game against the Pittsburgh ste All right,

611
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: Steelers are two to one. They got hammered opening weekend

612
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: by San Francisco thirty to seven home. But then they

613
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: beat the Cleveland Browns with a great defensive effort on

614
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: Monday night twenty six to twenty two. And then last

615
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: week they beat the Las Vegas Raiders out in Las

616
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: Vegas on Sunday night, had some playing issues, didn't get

617
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: back until Monday or Monday morning. On that flight, Dad

618
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: to stop in Kansas City and just a long, arduous

619
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: trip and they got to get on a flight to

620
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: come back to Houston. So you would feel like that

621
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: kind of helps the Texans a little bit. But we'll see,

622
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. All right. The Steelers offense, it's

623
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: not a complete and total struggle, but they're averaging just

624
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards per game on the ground. That's third

625
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: to the last thirtieth in the NFL. They're throwing it

626
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: for two to nine per game at seventeenth. It's about

627
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: the middle. And then they're average two hundred seventy six

628
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: yards per game, that's twenty seventh in the NFL. They've

629
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: lost four turnovers, three interceptions by Kenny Pickett, who leads

630
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: the offense. Now, Gie Harris is the bell cow running

631
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: back if you will, and then George Pickens is the

632
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: guy will talk about it in just a second. Offensive

633
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: line added Isaac Samlo in the offseason. But James Daniels

634
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: right guard will not play in this game. He is

635
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: out with a growing issue. So we'll see who steps

636
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: in at right guard for the Steelers. So let's get

637
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 1: into their keys against this Pittsburgh Steelers offense. And if

638
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna slow him down because they don't have Deontay Johnson,

639
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: another one of their stars on offense, I think in

640
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: the throwing game, even though Calvin Austin had a catch

641
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: and run last week that was a big backbreaker against

642
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders, I think it's stopping and slowing down George Pickens.

643
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: He is a magnificent talent. Ball skills for day, speed,

644
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: great route running, everything you want in a wide receiver.

645
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: George Pickens has it. Now. If he's that good well, then,

646
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: why wasn't he a first round pick? Well, first of all,

647
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: he had been injured for the last the year and

648
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: a half of his career Georgia towards ACL he wasn't

649
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: quite ready. Finally came back in twenty twenty one near

650
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: the end, made a couple of key players in the

651
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: championship game and that was that. So there really wasn't

652
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: a big body of work. But when he tested, he

653
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: tested extremely well. When he caught the ball, he catches

654
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: it like you know, fly traps on his hands. He's

655
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: incredible and he's got great receiver instinct and that helps him.

656
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: So the Texans dbs are gonna have their hands full,

657
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: so they've really got to be physical with him at

658
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: the top of his route stems. They've got to be

659
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: physical at to catch point. And then when he catches

660
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: the ball and turns to run, they gotta treat him

661
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: like he's Najie Harris. He's physical, he can run after catch.

662
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: That's a problem. Texas defensive backs have their hands full,

663
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: and they gotta know where Pickens is on every single play.

664
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward and Jalen Petrie have got to know where

665
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: he is on every single play. That's where you lean

666
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: a little bit. If you're playing man coverage and you're

667
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field free safety, you kind

668
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: of lean to where fourteen is. You got to help

669
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: out your guys against George Pickens. All right, number two,

670
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: it's simply put Naji Naji Harris, big thick, hard running tailback.

671
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: He's not gonna make moves on you. He's not gonna

672
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: try and shake you. He might hurle you, but he

673
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: is exactly what you see. He is gonna run downhill,

674
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: not very fast, but he is strong and physical. So

675
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: if you're a not great tackling team, uh oh, Now

676
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: I don't know that I put the Texans in the

677
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: not so great tackling team, but they have had tackling issues.

678
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: But this is one of those games. And I bring

679
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: up Jalen Petrie and Jimmy Ward again because they're gonna

680
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: be instrumental in getting to the line of scrimmage and

681
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: slowing Naji down. So if that defensive line forcing the bounce,

682
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: they got a fill so he doesn't turn the corner.

683
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: Defensive backs, cornerbacks, they've got to tackle on the outside

684
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: when Naji bounces runs. If you're forcing the bounce, you

685
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: got a great chance because he's not gonna beat you

686
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: on the edge. But you can't give him downhill lanes,

687
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: not something that he's had this and if you don't

688
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: give it to him, then you got an opportunity to

689
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: slow down that running game. And finally, muddy the picture.

690
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett, second year quarterback. He's throwing three interceptions this year,

691
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: averaging one per game. And really that's what it takes,

692
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: one interception per game, one extra possession for your offense.

693
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: I think CJ. Stroud and company can do something with it.

694
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: But with Kenny Pickett and muddy that picture, if you're

695
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: able to slow down Naji Harris, you're able to slow

696
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: down the other running back. I didn't mentioned Jalen Warning.

697
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: He's not just the other running back. That guy is

698
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: really good. In fact, you can make a case say

699
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: Warren probably should get more touches than Naji Harris. Warren

700
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: is tough as well. But if you're slowing them down,

701
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: and now it becomes a throwing game like it became

702
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence the other day. Now Matt Burke and

703
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: Damika Ryants can bring out some nice little packages and

704
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: they can change the look all disguises have got to

705
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: be solid. The coverages have got to be different from

706
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: pre snap to post snap. You got him. Muddy the

707
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: picture for Picket, because if it's muddied, he'll throw you one,

708
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: maybe two. His receivers will get confused. They won't be

709
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: on the same page. That's exactly what you need from

710
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: this Steelers offense. Muddy the picture for Kenny Pickett, make

711
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: him step back and go, well, I wasn't sure, guys.

712
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: That's what Trevor Lawrence is looking at last week through

713
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: an interception to Blake Cashman. You gotta get Kenny Pickett

714
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: to third and eight, third and nine, third and long.

715
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Let you go. You can do that if the first

716
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: two are taken care of. Can't let them steal five

717
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: to seven yards with quickouts to George Pickens, or five

718
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: to seven yards from Najie Harris when he's broken through

719
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: a tackle here or there. Muddy the picture, so George Pickens,

720
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: slow him down. Naji Harris, you better bring your big

721
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: boy pads and muddy the picture for second year quarterback

722
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: Kenny Picket. All right, flip it over to the offense.

723
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: The Steelers defense. Now, when I reach you these numbers,

724
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: this is gonna be Wait a second, everybody's been saying

725
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: how the Steelers defense is, but man, these numbers, it

726
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: will take a Listen. They're thirtieth in the NFL giving

727
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty two yards per game on

728
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: the ground. Now you could argue the Texans have not

729
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: taken advantage of that. But I said this before earlier

730
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: in the week as I was talking to people. It's

731
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: something I'll bring up with Mark Vandermer at the top

732
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: of the next hour. The Texans running game is close.

733
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: It's closer than you would think. But John, the numbers, No,

734
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't give you the numbers. I put the film

735
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: on bro. That's what I see very close. Now. They've

736
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: had to make some adjustments in some of the things

737
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: they do, and I think they'll continue to adjust. And

738
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: I think this front for Pittsburgh's really good. So it's

739
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: kind of mystifying in some sense, Like, wait a second.

740
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: They got Watt Heismith, they got Larry Ogunjobi, They've got

741
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: Keanu Binnen, and they're giving up one hundred and fifty

742
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: two yards. I mean, I watched that Browns game. I mean,

743
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: Nick Chub didn't play for very long. The Raiders got

744
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, but man, I didn't see them running for

745
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: that amount of yards. So now the Samanisco forty nine

746
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: ers gashed him pretty well, and as Christian McCaffrey. But

747
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: those teams that offensive lines have been together for a

748
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: while and pretty healthy for the most part. And that's

749
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: not the Texas off its line. But that's something that

750
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: kind of doghet turned like, what really, one hundred fifty

751
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 1: yards per game? Well, it doesn't get much better on

752
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: the other side. On the other side, the passing side,

753
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: they're giving up two hundred and thirty five yards per

754
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: game through the air. That's twenty second in the league.

755
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: They give up three hundred and eighty seven yards per game,

756
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: that's twenty eighth in the league. So they're giving up yards.

757
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 1: But here's where it flips. The Steelers are number one

758
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: in the league in sacks and I believe they're number

759
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: one in turnovers generated. They generate eight turnovers and plus

760
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: four and turnover margin for the year. Eh, take care

761
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: of the ball, protect your quarterback. Take care of the ball,

762
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: protect your quarterback. Where have you heard that before? Oh,

763
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. The first three weeks, same thing. Now

764
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: we'll get into the specific keys in the second But

765
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: we all know about TJ Watt, JJ's brother. He's got

766
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: six sacks already on the year. He's just he's just

767
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: a monster already. On the other side is Alex high Smith.

768
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna one sack, but that sack was a strip

769
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: fumble against the Browns. Watt picked it up, scored the

770
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: game when he touchdown on Monday night. Nick I Fitzpatrick

771
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: I think is one of the best thereas in the

772
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: league at safety. He moves around, but it's a deep unit.

773
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: Other than that, Watt and Fitzpatrick and high Smith, those

774
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: are their elite guys. After that, a lot of guys

775
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: that just played physically. They play hard, they get after it,

776
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of death. Cano Binns list is

777
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: a backup and he probably should be the starter. So

778
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: Joey Porter ju your first rounder Lissa as a backup,

779
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: could be a starter. So we'll see how it goes.

780
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: And of course they signed Desamond King. So let's get

781
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: to the Keys, and it starts obviously with the guy

782
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 1: that everybody is totally concerned about. That's TJ. Watt. Defense

783
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: Player of the Year in twenty twenty one. All time

784
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: sack leader in a season with twenty two and a half,

785
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: tied with Michael Strahan. He is now seven years and

786
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: to an incredible career in Pittsburgh and it's not slowing down.

787
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: In fact, it's getting better now. TJ typically will USh

788
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: from the left side. He likes playing that left side,

789
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty that was against Titus Howard and

790
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: Titus corralled him most of the day and then late

791
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: in the game when the Texas needed to drive, TJ

792
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: got loose on inside, moved sack, stop that drive, gave

793
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: the ball back to him, could stop him, they win

794
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: the ball game. TJ has a knack for the key sack,

795
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: the knack for the key play. He's a play creator.

796
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: He can wreck the game and the Texans have to

797
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: be aware of him, which ties into number two. He's

798
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: not the only one because TJ Watt on one side,

799
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: Alex Highsmith on the other. Now here's where the players

800
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: being out. Larimi Tunsseell is going to be out of

801
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: this one. Josh Jones is going to be out. And

802
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: I would feel better if Josh were back because that

803
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: would be two weeks in a row out of left tackle.

804
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: Three weeks in a row, three weeks in a row

805
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: out of left tackle, and I think Josh would play

806
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: even better than he did against Jacksonville. But he's out

807
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: of a hand issue. Tunsel's out. So who out of

808
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: left tackle? This all ties in together because whoever you

809
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: put a left tackle might need that extra running back help,

810
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: might need that extra tight end help. George Fant's gonna

811
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: need probably some extra help on TJ Watt. So how

812
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: do you go about giving help to both tackles and

813
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: making sure that you get enough guys out of the

814
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: pass route. So I would expect a lot of chips

815
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: from running backs, even tight ends. Slow those guys down,

816
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: don't allow them back inside, let them brush high, get

817
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: good chips, slow them down, give CJ time to throw.

818
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: This needs to be a chip of palooz on Sunday,

819
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: and just make sure those two guys aren't wrecking the

820
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: freaking game. And finally making the magician in the middle

821
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: of the field. I don't know, man, if there's anybody better.

822
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: That guy is incredible. When he's with the Dolphins, they

823
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: didn't know how to use him. He's got corner skills,

824
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: a safety's body. Where do you play them? Well, I

825
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: don't know. The Dolphins were just not run well at

826
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: the time, didn't have a great coaching staff to figure

827
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: it all out. He went to Pittsburgh and say, come on,

828
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: we make We'll make a player out of you, and

829
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: Mika did. The New Jersey native showed all of his skills,

830
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: all of them.

831
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 7: Uh.

832
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: And he has been very, very difficult to tangle with,

833
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: and I'm worried about him. You gotta know where thirty

834
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: nine is because he's gonna be around the box, Blitzen.

835
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna be around the box tackling running backs. He

836
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be floating in the middle. Gotta be aware

837
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: of what number thirty nine is because he let him

838
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: pull off his magic. Oh boy, it is not going

839
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: to be good. All right. When we get back, we're

840
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Matt Burke, defensive coordinator of the Houston Texans,

841
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: and Mark and I will talk about this one, including

842
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: one of my not crazy theories, but a belief that

843
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: I have about this Texans run game. That's next of

844
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Yes, sir, welcome back to this Friday

845
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio.

846
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: I am John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter, and my

847
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: good friend is Deep E Sitdu. She does a great

848
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: job with her deep Slum interviews and when she goes

849
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: behind enemy sidelines, as she does each and every week.

850
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: This week she catches up with Missy Matthews, who covers

851
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers right there in Pittsburgh. And this is great stuff.

852
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: Take a listen, Deep, he goes behind anemy sidelines with

853
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: Missy Matthews of the Steelers.

854
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 14: We're going behind enemy sidelines. I'm catching up with Missy Matthews.

855
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 14: She's the team reporter for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And Missy,

856
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 14: it's been it's been a crazy week for both of

857
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 14: these teams. So let's start with the Steelers because I

858
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 14: know that you had an unexpected short week. We're reading

859
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 14: all about it. The Steelers plane getting diverted from Las Vegas.

860
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 14: What was the situation there?

861
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 15: Yeah, as if you know, coming off a Sunday night

862
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 15: game on the West Coast, traveling back to Pittsburgh, you

863
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 15: know that's that's Roffie usually get home around rush hour.

864
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 15: But yes, we did make an emergency landing in Kansas City,

865
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 15: spent quite a few hours there.

866
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 16: Eventually got a new plane and we were able to

867
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 16: get back to Pittsburgh.

868
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 15: So the Steelers were on a short week last week

869
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 15: because they played the Browns on Monday Nights football, so

870
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 15: it was kind of like rinse and repeat.

871
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 16: Hey, we're going to do the exact same thing.

872
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 15: The only good thing, I guess you could say is

873
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 15: that because the game was on Sunday, the coaches had

874
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 15: their film all the things they needed on iPads on

875
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 15: the plane, so that process got to start a little early.

876
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 14: Okay, So no real big adjustments for the week as

877
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 14: far as practice or routine or anything like that coming

878
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 14: back late.

879
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 16: Nope, Nope.

880
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 15: They just practiced a little bit later on Wednesday, which

881
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 15: is exactly what they did last week.

882
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 16: But same thing for everybody, So kind of is what

883
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 16: it is. Nothing you can do. I'm got everyone's safe

884
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 16: and here we are.

885
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, glad to hear that everything was fine and you

886
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 14: guys made it back safely. It's a big week for

887
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 14: TJ Watt and JJ Watt, and I feel like the

888
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 14: last time these two teams played here, both of these

889
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 14: players were still in the league. JJ was injured. But

890
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 14: even though JJ is not playing in this game, it

891
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 14: seems like it's an overarching storyline here in Houston, just

892
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 14: because his name is getting lifted into the rafters at halftime.

893
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 17: You know what has sort of the question been for

894
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 17: TJ Watt.

895
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 14: I know he's had to address it as well, but

896
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 14: you know, what are his thoughts on going into this

897
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 14: game where his brother's not on the field, but he's

898
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 14: just a big part of this game.

899
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I remember that game too, which was crazy.

900
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 15: That was TJ's rookie year. It was on Christmas Day

901
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 15: and as you said, JJ was injured, but I vividly

902
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 15: remember them throwing the football on the sideline, you know,

903
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 15: just during pregame, just with their family, which was really cool.

904
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 15: But of course, you know, TJ's family first for everything.

905
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 15: So knowing TJ and what I've heard him say to

906
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 15: Houston media, look, I'm excited TJ's grown up going to

907
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 15: games there to watch his brother, but he is so

908
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 15: focused on this game and trying to stack wins.

909
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 16: I'm sure after the game they can, you know, rejoice.

910
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 15: Hopefully they get together Saturday night too with all their

911
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 15: family as well.

912
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 16: But TJ's definitely one.

913
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 15: Of those guys that is always like laser focused, and

914
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 15: because it's probably happening at halftime.

915
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 16: I doubt he will catch him minute of it.

916
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 17: He is definitely laser focus.

917
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 14: JJ even tweeted about TJ's historic start six sacks in

918
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 14: just the first three games.

919
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 17: So what have you seen from TJ that's made.

920
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 14: Him particularly effective at getting to the quarterback this season?

921
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 16: I mean TJ is very healthy.

922
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 15: You know last year it started great with the win

923
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 15: in Cincinnati, but that's the game TJ got hurt. Didn't

924
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 15: have him for a number of weeks, and the record

925
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 15: with the Steelers without TJ is very significant.

926
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 16: He's one of those guys that can't flip a game.

927
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 15: Even in their Week one loss to the San Francisco

928
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 15: forty nine Ers, TJ Watt tried everything in his power

929
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 15: to try to pull that game back in the Steelers favor.

930
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 15: And he's just one of those guys that can take

931
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 15: over games. You don't hear opposing offensive coordinators or quarterbacks

932
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 15: talk about the Steelers defense without mentioning number ninety. And

933
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 15: I think he has just gotten to the point of

934
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 15: his career where he's perfected film study, He's perfected how

935
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 15: he takes care of his body, how he communicates with

936
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 15: teammates and you're being, you know, the fruition of that

937
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 15: out on the field, all right.

938
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 14: The Steelers, they've won two in a row and everyone's

939
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 14: saying that Kenny Pickett is starting to look more and

940
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 14: more like himself. So I know there's been a lot

941
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 14: of expectations of the second year quarterback. But what do

942
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 14: you think it is about how he's played in these

943
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 14: last two games that have sort of gotten him back

944
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 14: on track And where do you think he's improved the

945
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 14: most here in year two?

946
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 15: Well, I think the leadership, which is something I feel

947
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 15: like you have to do when you're the quarterback. But

948
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 15: he really spent the offseason organizing things for skill players

949
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 15: to get together, even outside of OTA's and mini camp

950
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 15: and just doing those extra little things. He's very cool,

951
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 15: comic collect but the players you know on offense will

952
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 15: tell you he's very direct when he wants you to

953
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 15: run a certain route or different things like that.

954
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 16: So I think that.

955
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 15: Communication has just grown that leadership. He was voted at

956
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 15: team captain this year. But I think, you know, the

957
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 15: Raiders game is where we kind of saw the glimpse

958
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 15: of what we saw in training camp in the preseason,

959
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 15: more so than the win over the Browns. I mean,

960
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 15: you score two defensive touchdown, that's kind of how that

961
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 15: game was one. But I think once they maybe hopefully

962
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 15: get the run game going a little bit more and

963
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 15: maybe just the consistency between quarterback and wide receiver, hopefully

964
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 15: they can start doing all the things that we thought

965
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 15: and hoped they would do week one.

966
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 14: I know, he's had a lot of praise for George Pickens,

967
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 14: second year wide receiver.

968
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 17: We've seen his highlights on social media.

969
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 14: So what makes Pickens such a unique threat for every

970
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 14: other team that the Steelers have to face.

971
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 16: I mean, he just has amazing body control.

972
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 15: I mean, even if you go back to the Raiders game,

973
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 15: Kenny was kind of scrambling towards the sideline and Pickens

974
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 15: realized and he's like threw his body backwards to try

975
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 15: to help block somebody, you know, and that's just that's

976
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 15: not with the ball in his hands. But he has

977
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 15: really good start and stop. He's fast, and he's very physical.

978
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 15: He is a guy who has no problem, you know,

979
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 15: kind of getting rid of a dB to go and

980
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 15: they just think they're from the same rookie class.

981
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 16: So I think they have this natural connection as well.

982
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 14: All Right, So the Steelers now at two and one,

983
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 14: they're tied with the Ravens and the Browns, and weirdly enough,

984
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 14: the Bengals are sitting at bottom of that division at

985
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 14: one and two. So what are the expectations of Mike

986
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 14: Tomlin and the Steelers team and what everyone is expecting

987
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 14: to be a really tough AFC North.

988
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 16: I think you know.

989
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 15: AFC North football already started Week two with the Browns

990
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 15: coming to Akforshire Stadium, the Ravens come next week. And

991
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 15: it's just one of those divisions where, yeah, maybe the

992
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 15: records aren't a glamorous of some of the other ones.

993
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 15: It's just always physical, players always hurt the next day.

994
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 15: You just know each other so well, and I feel

995
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 15: like each of the teams in the AFC North have

996
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 15: built their rosters to go against the other teams, if

997
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 15: that makes sense, because it's always a bloodbath. It's always

998
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 15: crazy going down to the finish line of who's going

999
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 15: to win the division. It's usually not something where a

1000
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 15: team just runs away with it, and you know, the

1001
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 15: league knows what they're doing. That's why division games are

1002
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 15: always very popular at the end of the season.

1003
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 14: All right, great stuff, Missy Matthew's team reporter for the

1004
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 14: Pittsburgh Steelers. Missy, looking forward to seeing you here on Sunday,

1005
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 14: all right, can't wait to see you.

1006
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: Appreciate Deep and Missy for stopping by now. I hit

1007
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: a couple of these injuries on the injury report slash

1008
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: status report because Friday. To me, it's a game status

1009
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: report because it tells you who's in who's out. It

1010
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: let's tell you how they practice start the week. But

1011
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: we talked about this a little bit, especially with the

1012
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: offensive line. Josh Jones Larmie Tunswell will both be out,

1013
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: Josh dealing the hand issue, Lammie dealing with that knee.

1014
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: Now need one of them going on ir yet, So

1015
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: especially Laramie. This is now the third game I think

1016
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: that he'll miss. So my hope is that he'll be

1017
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: able to get it back here in the next week

1018
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: or so to get ready for Atlanta. But mains to

1019
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: be seen. Josh with the hand, we don't really know.

1020
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: I just know those two are out. Denzel Paramant also

1021
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: out dealing with a hand issue as well. Tabio Thomas

1022
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: is also out dealing with a hand issue as well.

1023
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know that I've ever seen more hand

1024
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: injuries in my life. Now this is a big one.

1025
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Just in fact, Michael Deer could play a lot of

1026
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: positions on the offensive line and with some upheaval. If

1027
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: you will on the offensive line, you just never know

1028
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. He's dealing with the chest issue.

1029
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: So I believe it probably happened Thursday in practice because

1030
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't anywhere on the injury report Wednesday. Thursday, he

1031
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: went to limited. Friday, he went to DNP. He is questionable.

1032
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: So four players out, Tunseled, Thomas Perrimant, Jones out, j

1033
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: G Shaq, Griffin, Shack Mason, Jaylen Peacher. They are all

1034
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: full participants dealing with a myriad of things out for

1035
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers, starting off as the line, with James Daniels

1036
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: deal with a growing issue. He's out. In Presley Harvin,

1037
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers punter, is out dealing with the right hamstring issue.

1038
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: So those two guys are now out, so the Steelers

1039
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: are gonna have to find themselves a punter. But everybody

1040
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: else they've been banged up during the week. Players that

1041
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: include Connor Hayward, Larry Ogunjobi who's key to the defensive line,

1042
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: and also Alan Robinson wide receiver in Darnolt Washington, the

1043
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: big tight end rookie out of Georgia. They are all

1044
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: in so kind of about what we expected. We've been

1045
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: looking at that list of guys of Jones, param and

1046
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: Thomas Tunsel all week, kind of figured they all would

1047
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: be out. That's what you know. Aaron Wilson, who's the

1048
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: key to all that. He's got sources and he said

1049
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: they'd be out. Now how long you're out, we don't know.

1050
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: So Texas still dealing with some injuries. But if we

1051
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: talked about keys, you know, look, some guys got to

1052
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: step up. Who that's gonna be a left tackle? We'll

1053
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: find out on Sunday at Oh I don't know, probably

1054
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: about eleven to fifteen when they go out on the

1055
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: field and warm up. It could be a rotation of

1056
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: guys at left tackle. I don't imagine everybody else come

1057
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: and stays the same. Maybe they move Fant to the left tackle.

1058
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's gonna be kind of interesting.

1059
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: But you got Jimmy Ward back, You got Jalleen Petrie

1060
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: back at safety. That's gonna be good. You got Eric

1061
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: Murray who played very well against Jacksonville, he's gonna obviously

1062
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: be in the mix of safety. You got Grayland back

1063
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: at Nickel You got a lot of different things you

1064
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: can do with that defense. Now, you will miss Denzel

1065
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: Peram and there's no question, and you definitely missed Derek Stingly,

1066
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: But Chack Griffin played well last week. You got Grayland

1067
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: playing in the Nickels. So the defense gotta stay out

1068
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: and mind their p's and q's. And if they can

1069
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: stay on it and do so, then I think they've

1070
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: got a great opportunity to slow this Pittsburgh offense down.

1071
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, but if you can force on the

1072
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: punt man, that'd be a good thing. That'd be a

1073
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: great thing. With their punter, Presley Harvin out of this game.

1074
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: So a lot of things to consider. But that's your

1075
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: game status report for this one against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1076
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: We get back. We got Matt Burke who is going

Speaker 1: chance to catch up with defensive coordinator Matt Burke, who

1088
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,160

1091
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 2: one this week? Coming off the win against Jacksonville.

1092
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 18: It's been good obviously, you know, high spirits, kind of

1093
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 18: getting the victory and just guys done a good job

1094
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 18: of refocusing getting back to work this week.

1095
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 13: So it's been It's been a good start the week for.

1096
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 3: Sure, Coach.

1097
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: I know this is probably the easiest question you had

1098
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: the hardest one to answer. What was different from week

1099
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: two to week three? All right, wait, let me go back.

1100
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 6: What was different from week one to week two? Two

1101
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 6: to week three?

1102
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think I would say that, you know, what

1103
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 18: we've been preaching obviously is just sort of the do

1104
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 18: your job mantra, And you know, we talked a lot

1105
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 18: the last couple of weeks, the first couple weeks of

1106
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 18: some communication errors and technique errors and stuff, and I

1107
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 18: would just say that, uh, you know, we kind of

1108
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 18: cut down on those and then really, I mean, we

1109
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 18: just made some timely place right the big plays obviously

1110
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 18: the turnovers, I mean the stuff on offense with the

1111
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 18: big plays, but defensively, I thought, you know, obviously getting

1112
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 18: her hands on the ball a couple of times, and

1113
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 18: and some.

1114
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 13: Of those things like just sort of we're the difference.

1115
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: How hard is it to coach young players, rookies in

1116
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: this league for the first time and they're flying all around,

1117
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: they're excited, yet they need to focus on technique at

1118
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 2: the same time, How hard is it to work with

1119
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: that kind of clay and mold it.

1120
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 18: No, that's great, you know, you know, you like those

1121
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 18: especially our young guys. I would say, they're all eager

1122
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 18: to learn and want to be coached. You know, you

1123
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 18: never want to put a damper on enthusiasm and energy,

1124
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 18: and that's something that we preach, so you know, the

1125
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 18: youth brings a.

1126
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 13: Little bit of that to the table.

1127
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 18: And again, it's just it's a matter of working through

1128
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 18: some of those sort of early season mistakes and things,

1129
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 18: maybe you know, plays they haven't seen before, or just

1130
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 18: situations they have been put in all the time, and

1131
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 18: you hope that you bank those reps as the season

1132
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 18: goes and those guys get more time and and and

1133
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 18: they can kind of grow from that.

1134
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 6: Along those lines.

1135
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: Coach communicating during the game with a rookie wearing a

1136
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: green dot like Henry Toatoe and getting the message and

1137
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: having to Mark's point, having a young player delivering the

1138
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,959
Speaker 1: message to the team, how was that On Sunday? Coach

1139
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit with us, but from

1140
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: your perspective, how was that communication front to back with

1141
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: Henry as a rookie doing that most of the communication?

1142
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, I thought him did a great job.

1143
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: Man.

1144
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 18: We really really did a great job in that aspect.

1145
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 18: Particularly we put kind of talked about it early the

1146
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 18: week and put it on. I'm like, hey, man, like

1147
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 18: you've got to run this show. This is your huddle.

1148
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 18: You're gonna be in front of it like nothing happens

1149
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 18: till you say right or left or whatever call we're making. Obviously,

1150
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 18: having you know, a guy like Jimmy back in the

1151
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 18: back end to help bridge that gap.

1152
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 13: I always say this stuff.

1153
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 18: Man, it's just like when when it becomes the cool

1154
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 18: thing to do, like everyone wants to be part of it,

1155
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 18: you know. So now like we're trying to make it

1156
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 18: cool to communicate, cool to be on the same page

1157
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 18: and talk, and now it's sort of like building and

1158
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 18: and you know, hopefully gett jalen By in the fold

1159
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 18: and g and you start having those guys that are

1160
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 18: in those roles that it just becomes what part of

1161
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 18: everybody does. But Henry specifically did a really good job

1162
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 18: controlling that group.

1163
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: Defensive coordinator Matt Burke with US coach talked about put

1164
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: the money in the bank Wednesday through Friday, cash out

1165
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: on Sunday. That mentality that sounds very catchy to me.

1166
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 3: That sounds cool.

1167
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 2: So is that message I know it's being sent, how

1168
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: is it being received?

1169
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1170
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think you know.

1171
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 18: It's it's no different like you win a game and

1172
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 18: everyone feels good about it, but you can't forget like

1173
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 18: what got you to that point, and you know there's

1174
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 18: you know, as much as you talk about like losing affecting.

1175
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 13: You know your next week or kind of.

1176
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 18: Doing this like winning can do the same thing, and

1177
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 18: you can't get complacent. You can't forget, man, how I

1178
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 18: mean we grinded last week and really put the work

1179
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 18: into to be able to perform that way.

1180
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 13: So it's got to be a reset.

1181
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 15: You know.

1182
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 18: They always talk about that twenty four hour rule in

1183
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 18: the league, where good or bad, you have to put

1184
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 18: the game behind you from Sunday, you know, you have

1185
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 18: Monday to review it. Tuesday or off we come back

1186
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 18: and win day man, like it doesn't matter anymore. Like

1187
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 18: you've got to go back through that same process that

1188
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 18: got you to a victory.

1189
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 13: You've got to go through that again this week, you know.

1190
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 18: And so you can't get complacent feeling like, oh I

1191
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 18: got it right, we figured it out like that. That's

1192
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 18: never happened. So I think the guys are bought in

1193
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 18: and again just trying to just associate that, associate the

1194
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 18: work and during the week and in this heat and

1195
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 18: doing this stuff. We're going through what we've been through

1196
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 18: these first two days here this week, like associate that

1197
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 18: with the results on Sunday and so kind of keep

1198
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 18: that train going.

1199
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,959
Speaker 1: Hopefully, Coach Weird near AFC, we don't play Steelers often

1200
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: played with twenty play them seventeen played in fourteen. I

1201
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: don't think we've played many. I mean it's been that

1202
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: for the last my tent year on in silence. The

1203
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: third time I think we're gonna see him or fourth

1204
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: time we're gonna see him. That being said, what have

1205
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: you seen from the Steelers offense? Can you pick it

1206
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: at quarterback up front? That I don't know a lot

1207
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: of people kind of know around Houston like what the

1208
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: Steelers at because we really haven't played them. What do

1209
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: you see in the Steelers offense?

1210
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's they do a really good job. They've you know,

1211
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 18: it's a very sound offense. They've got playmakers, you know

1212
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 18: obviously fourteen on the outside pickets doing a really good

1213
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 18: job of distributing the ball to those playmakers. The tight

1214
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 18: ends a good player, the back's a good player, you know.

1215
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 18: I mean, they've got some good weapons. So we've got

1216
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 18: to be on on our spots and a lot of

1217
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 18: respect for you know, that program and that organization and

1218
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 18: coach Tomlin. Like they've historically always been a good team

1219
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 18: and done a great job and they're well coached. So

1220
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 18: I think that's what you just see kind of the

1221
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 18: through line of all that they're they're a sound, discipline,

1222
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 18: well coached team, and when they get the balls, you know,

1223
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 18: and in their playmaker's hands and then stuff that happens.

1224
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 13: So we've got to we've got to be on our

1225
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 13: on our stuff.

1226
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: This week, all right is Legends Homecoming presented by Ford JJ.

1227
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 2: Watt goes into the Ring of Honor and we've been

1228
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 2: asking everybody what is your prevailing what maybe memory moment thought,

1229
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 2: what comes to mind? Coach, because we know you have

1230
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 2: direct knowledge.

1231
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 18: Yeah, man, that it's gonna be a hard to boil

1232
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 18: that one down again. Got got the honor and the

1233
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 18: privilege to coach him for a season last year, you know,

1234
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 18: as a kind of a you know, knowing when it

1235
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 18: was his last season, and kind of an emotional note

1236
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 18: to it, to everything that he was going through. So

1237
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 18: kind of I think that probably helped our bond connecting

1238
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 18: through sort of that him going through that process. I

1239
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 18: don't know, like I mean, man, something these I probably

1240
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 18: can't tell on air, so but honestly, I always just said, like,

1241
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 18: you know, it's funny all the superlatives you everyone says

1242
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 18: about Jay like that that I showed up in Arizona,

1243
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 18: and like he was in the building. It was February

1244
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 18: or whatever, and he was in the building and every day,

1245
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 18: like the work that he put in, like that greatness,

1246
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 18: his accomplishments, his achievements, they don't they don't come. We've

1247
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 18: just talked about putting money in the bank. I mean,

1248
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 18: he worked every day like to be great, you know,

1249
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 18: and and to be a great person, to be a

1250
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 18: great you know, member of the community and organization all

1251
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 18: those things, a leader, you know. So you know, it's

1252
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 18: no surprise to me just having spent that short amount

1253
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 18: of time with Jay, like what his accomplishments are and

1254
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 18: what his future is going to hold and things. I

1255
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 18: think it's really cool. And I just I think, like

1256
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 18: the Ring of Honor thing, just you know, it's a

1257
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 18: permanent legacy, and you know, for you know, he's starting

1258
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 18: his family out, he's got a young son and probably

1259
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 18: more to come at some point in his life, and

1260
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 18: and future generations like to just know that like that's

1261
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 18: going to be there for them to understand his legacy

1262
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 18: and what he left behind is just an awesome, awesome thing.

1263
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 13: So I'm so happy for him.

1264
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 18: I'm proud of him, and I'm excited to kind of

1265
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 18: be part of it again this weekend.

1266
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: Matt, this made a weird question, But were you surprised

1267
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: when he said he was gonna hang him up? Because

1268
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: watching him last year, he didn't look any worse.

1269
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 13: For the way.

1270
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked like he could that was all coaching.

1271
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course.

1272
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 13: As last year.

1273
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 6: So he made the right movie.

1274
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

1275
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 6: I'm surprised that he did de side call quit.

1276
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 18: No, you know, he told me, I don't know, you know,

1277
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 18: pinpoint maybe halfway through the year or we were just

1278
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 18: kind of casually brought it up, like, man, I think

1279
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 18: this is it for me, and I would just say this,

1280
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 18: I think he could do it, no doubt, Like he

1281
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 18: had twelve and a half sacks last year. I mean,

1282
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 18: obviously he was still productive. And I think, you know,

1283
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 18: for him, you'd have to ask him this, but I

1284
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 18: just think, you know, the standard that he held himself to,

1285
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 18: he had to put that work in. Like for him,

1286
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 18: there was no other way, right, Like I'm going to

1287
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 18: take my month off and then I'm right back to

1288
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 18: work and I'm working the whole year and stuff. And

1289
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 18: I think, you know, with his family and those things

1290
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 18: going on, like He's like, Man, I don't know if

1291
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 18: that's the commitment I want to make it. If I'm

1292
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 18: not going to make that commitment, I'm not playing you

1293
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 18: know what I mean. I'm doing this one way. There's

1294
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 18: only one way he's ever done it. And if he

1295
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 18: didn't feel like he could do it that way, then

1296
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 18: I don't think it was all or nothing for him.

1297
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 13: So, yeah, it was cool. It was fun to be

1298
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 13: around that. That was a cool experience for me.

1299
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 2: How does it change the way you coach when you're

1300
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 2: around a player like that, You're around young players like

1301
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 2: we talked about, you're around a veteran like Watt.

1302
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: Who's a future Hall of Famer.

1303
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 2: How does that affect the way you approach all the

1304
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 2: players Because everybody's a little bit different, they might need

1305
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 2: some different instructions.

1306
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1307
00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 13: I think that's just part of coaching.

1308
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 18: I mean I always thought coaching was, you know, making connections,

1309
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 18: you know, finding triggers that get guys to play or

1310
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 18: to achieve whatever their level is that they can achieve.

1311
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 18: And so he was no different. You know, he's obviously

1312
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 18: a demanding player that's you know, has a history of

1313
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 18: of you know, success and how things work for him,

1314
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 18: so like just you have to be on it with him,

1315
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 18: you know, I mean there was no for me, like

1316
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 18: he wasn't going to take any nonsense coaching. But like again,

1317
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 18: that's just how you reach him, you know what I mean.

1318
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 18: And there were guys in the room that I had

1319
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 18: to coach a different way and be harder on or

1320
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 18: less you know whatever.

1321
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 13: I think that's just part of coaching.

1322
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 18: I like I said, like I try to find connections

1323
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 18: with all the players and that I've worked with and

1324
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 18: and figure out what makes them tick and what motivates

1325
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 18: them and try to push them in that direction.

1326
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: So, coach, do you see some of those type traits

1327
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: in Will Anderson? And I know he's a young player,

1328
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: and I mean it's hard. I mean, as I do

1329
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: my drop stuff. The one player I never camp anybody

1330
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: too is JJ because I saw everything he did. Yeah,

1331
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: but now I'm watching Will Anderson, I see a lot

1332
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: of the same things like Mark and on watch and like, man,

1333
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: that's the way JJ went about things like just so

1334
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: serious and sitting in the front row at a meeting

1335
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: and those kind of things. Do you see kind of

1336
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: some of those same somewhat traits in Will Anderson? I do.

1337
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 13: I do.

1338
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 18: I think I've been asked this question in a different

1339
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 18: form before, and just I always said, like, part of

1340
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 18: what makes JJ great is his consistency, you know, and

1341
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 18: not that Will Kay, But will you know he's six

1342
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 18: months into this thing, right, you know, JJ did it

1343
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 18: for twelve years straight, in and out, injured, working back,

1344
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 18: playing the same way, working the same way. So I

1345
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 18: think greatness sometimes is a reflection of consistency of that

1346
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 18: gat level of achievement. Will's laying a great foundation. He

1347
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 18: does have a lot of characteristics and traits that that

1348
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 18: are noble and that remind me of what Jay was like.

1349
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 18: So you know, talk to me in twelve years, maybe

1350
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 18: be able to have this conversiation.

1351
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 3: Looks likes a lot of good luck this week.

1352
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 13: I appreciate it. Guys.

1353
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: All right, great stuff there from Matt Burke, Defense Coordinated

1354
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: for your Houston Texans and Mark. First of all, we

1355
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: always know JJ is JJ's because when JJ went theres,

1356
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: he calls him Ja. That stood out. You're not talking

1357
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: about that a little bit. I'm not going to call

1358
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: him Jay, but no, I'm not gonna call him JJJ.

1359
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 3: I could say two.

1360
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: Syllables if it would have been three. I would have

1361
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: been a little bit you know, I would have been

1362
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult.

1363
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 6: But I won't do that. We'll call it, We'll call

1364
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 6: them JJ.

1365
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, you and I have not talked this week

1366
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: about this game, in particular.

1367
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 6: We haven't we talked. You know, we talked to JJ earlier.

1368
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: We talked to Miko, you talked him about the game

1369
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, But you and I haven't talked about

1370
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: this game. What's your gut telling you about Sunday.

1371
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 3: I think that.

1372
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 2: Texans should be able to move the ball on the Steelers.

1373
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: That's my gut. Texans should be able to get some

1374
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 2: things done. They should be able to at least be

1375
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 2: effective enough to score. I'm going to put the number

1376
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 2: at twenty and a half. That sounds like a Vegas

1377
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 2: kind of way of putting things.

1378
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 6: Good way of doing it.

1379
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one points, and I do believe they have

1380
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 2: what it takes to slow them down. In fact, if

1381
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 2: you go hey defense against the Steelers offense.

1382
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 6: I feel pretty good about that.

1383
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: In this building, I think everyone's gonna be jacked up

1384
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: sky high. I know there are gonna be a lot

1385
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: of Steelers fans in the building, but it's still your

1386
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 2: home gym. And I don't think what happened against the

1387
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 2: Colts is gonna happen here in this game where the

1388
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: defense comes out flat. I think the defense is gonna

1389
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: come out firing. They've learned their lesson, They've put the

1390
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 2: money in the bank on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I think

1391
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: they'll be good to go to at least slow them down.

1392
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 2: I feel good about having Kenny Pickett a quarterback instead

1393
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 2: of Richardson or Minshew or whoever. Yep, but you know

1394
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: they watch all the tape too. The other thing about

1395
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 2: pass blocking, about TJ. Watt, Alex high Smith, how you

1396
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 2: gonna deal with this defensive front of the Steelers. I

1397
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 2: think they'll have just enough to keep the ground game

1398
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 2: going and c J Stroud another week of maturity, because,

1399
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 2: like I said with Demiko in the interview, you don't

1400
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 2: know where the ceiling is with these rookies. Let's keep

1401
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: growing together and see where it takes us. So you know,

1402
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 2: I can't say, yeah, lock Texans over the Steelers. I

1403
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 2: think it should at the very least be a very

1404
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 2: competitive game between these two and a hope, I hope

1405
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,479
Speaker 2: the Texans come out on top of the fourth quarter.

1406
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: You know one thing the Texans offense. Boy, I can't

1407
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: say this, can I. Hannah's gonna be really matter? No,

1408
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: oh no, Texas haven't turned the bowl over much.

1409
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 2: Oh she's gonna be upset. But I think right now,

1410
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: here's here's the flip side.

1411
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: This is why I was gonna say it's a key

1412
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: because the Steelers have turned teams over eight times in

1413
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: three games. You gotta watch out their plus four and

1414
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: turnover margin and they've given it up four times, which

1415
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's a you know, over one time a game.

1416
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: And they've picked off or recover fumbles a total of

1417
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: eight times, so they're plus four and turnover margin. That's

1418
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: been a massive key for them because if you look

1419
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: at numbers, their yardist totals are in they're not Steeler like.

1420
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: They're three hundred and eighty seven yards a game. Those

1421
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: that's not great numbers. However, they're first in sacks, they're

1422
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: first in turnovers generated. Yeah, and there's there's your ball

1423
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: game right there. Just not not turning the ball away.

1424
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 2: Garoppolo threw for a lot of yards. Now, they were

1425
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 2: trying to catch up at the end and everything, but

1426
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: the three picks, Yeah, three picks, and the pressure affects that.

1427
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 2: So CJ is going to have to be very careful

1428
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: with that. And you know they know Garoppolo well here yes,

1429
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: So they're looking at that tape thinking, Okay, how can

1430
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: we avoid the mistakes that Jimmy and that passing passing

1431
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 2: attack made against the Steelers.

1432
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 3: How can we avoid those mistakes in this gym?

1433
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 2: Because in that building in Vegas, the Steeler fans took

1434
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 2: it over and it was a monstrous celebration every time

1435
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 2: they did something good.

1436
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 3: So you have to avoid that here.

1437
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1438
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

1439
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: The other one week one, Steelers faced the forty nine

1440
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: Ers offense, and I thought Bobby Slowa said something that

1441
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting and a paraphrasing what he said on Thursday,

1442
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: and that was, you know, we're the we're the Texans offense. Yeah,

1443
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: we're we're different, We're evolving, And that was one of

1444
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,439
Speaker 1: the things that stood out in that podcast I listened

1445
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: to this offseason from Jordan Rodrigue The Athletic. It was

1446
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 1: focused on Mike McDaniel, Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, and Mount

1447
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Floor about how all of them came from seemingly the

1448
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: same branch of the tree. But those branches have evolved

1449
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: into their own thing. And I think that's pretty interesting.

1450
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: And I think Bobby Slowik is seeing this offense evolve

1451
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: into his own thing, and the Texans own thing one

1452
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: of the things.

1453
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 6: And I know I've said this to you during the week.

1454
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I was in here watching last week's game and I

1455
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: said to you something that kind of had you shocked

1456
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: in some sense. I said, and the run game is close,

1457
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: It's really close. And You're like, well, why do you

1458
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: say that? And as I'm watching, there were at least

1459
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: two or three plays, including on the first series when

1460
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: it was a three and.

1461
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 6: Out, We're going, this looks terrible.

1462
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: It was one block away from springing a really big

1463
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: run from Damien. I feel like it was really close

1464
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: to springing a couple others too. But I think they

1465
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: started to find a few things. Even in the fourth quarter.

1466
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: They went to a little bit more power game, you know,

1467
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,479
Speaker 1: shocks pulling around and knocking out a defensive end. Kenner

1468
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: Green pulled around one time back, not a defensive end.

1469
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: They might find something that works a little different than

1470
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: work for McCaffrey and the Niners running backs.

1471
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 6: They might find something that works a little bit better.

1472
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: But I felt like the line itself played very well

1473
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: and even in the run game, they were doing some

1474
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: good things. And I feel like, man, it's it's close.

1475
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: Are the Steelers that defensive unit you can say, okay,

1476
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: we're breaking through well, one hundred and fifty one yards

1477
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: on the ground, they give up a game. So if

1478
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: they can do if they can just get to one hundred.

1479
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 3: That's a big that would be their season high.

1480
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: I think that's if they get to one hundred. I

1481
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm ready to say stamp it. It's

1482
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: a w but if they're getting to one hundred, they

1483
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: are putting a ton of pressure.

1484
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 6: On that Steelers.

1485
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 2: It depends what kind of hundred? Is there a forty

1486
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 2: yard mix player? Is it a steady diet? And are

1487
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 2: you not turning the ball over right in the passing game?

1488
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 2: How are you on third down? I'd just like to

1489
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 2: see this what's next for CJ. Stroud phenomenon because it's funny.

1490
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 2: People are I'm still talking about at Ohio State. He

1491
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 2: did this, so he should be forget about Ohio State

1492
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 2: right now. That's over, that is so long gone. The

1493
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 2: Georgia game, are you kidding. He just torched Jacksonville, the

1494
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 2: defending division champions in the National Football League. Let's forget

1495
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 2: about Ohio State for the moment.

1496
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 13: Here.

1497
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 3: He's played in some gyms already.

1498
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 2: I've used that word too much in this SAR. But

1499
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Baltimore. Now he's home again for the second time

1500
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 2: in the regular season. Let's see what he cooks up here.

1501
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 2: I know the old line is all beaten up, banged up,

1502
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 2: but I love the way he talks about them. I

1503
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 2: think they can't help but feel better about their situation

1504
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 2: because of him and wanting to play that extra that

1505
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 2: extra push over the cliff, these go to eleven kind

1506
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,919
Speaker 2: of effort for him. I really believe there's something too

1507
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 2: that I'm hoping it plays out on Sunday against the Steelers,

1508
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: And I really feel it. With this staff, Johnny, we

1509
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 2: talk about it. Bill O'Brien used to talk about this too.

1510
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: Every week is different, you know, one to oh season,

1511
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. I believe they believe that's

1512
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 2: just build up the team for this week. We'll worry

1513
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 2: about next week next week. That'll be on Monday. Right now,

1514
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 2: Steelers game plan one game season, see what you can

1515
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 2: accomplish absolutely.

1516
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: And I think part of the nice thing about this

1517
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: schedule is the fact that you know, every single game

1518
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: is at noon, yep, every single game. So there's a routine,

1519
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: there's a play the play, there's not this that the

1520
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: play that you know, there's there's a rhythm to playing

1521
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: every single Sunday, uh, which which I absolutely I love.

1522
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 6: One of the reasons. On Sunday, as the game is winding.

1523
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Down and I am thinking about, you know, postgame interview

1524
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: and such, I walked over to our guy on the sideline, Evert,

1525
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, if we win. Now we were

1526
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: up twenty at the time, but you know, you never know,

1527
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: see crazy things happened. Sure, and so I was like,

1528
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: if we win, can I get TV ward in the

1529
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: locker room. He kind of looked at me like and

1530
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: And a lot of times he and Omar will give

1531
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: me a player for postgame, let's have an interception, or

1532
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: they set a career high tackles, you know, like Henry

1533
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: against the Colts was tied for the team league in tackles.

1534
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: So they gave me Henry tote after the game, and

1535
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: I asked for Jimmy Warden and they kind of looked

1536
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: at me like, I think one of the major differences

1537
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:21,919
Speaker 1: in week two to week three was Ward's presence. Sure,

1538
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: I think another difference from week three to week four

1539
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be Ward with Petrie in that backhand. And

1540
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: I understand people like, OHI there's safeties. You know what

1541
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: can they do? They're not gonna They're extremely helpful.

1542
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Patree can get TFLs.

1543
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I think one of the things in weeks one,

1544
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: second half of week one and then week two and

1545
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: a little bit in week three, you don't do as

1546
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: much on defense without Petrie. Yeah, and I think he

1547
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: adds kind of that mix to what you can do defensively.

1548
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 6: And now you got both of them and.

1549
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 1: The first time for the first time, Yes, absolutely, and

1550
01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be that's gonna be massive.

1551
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 6: I think you got a better linebacker play last week.

1552
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Blake Cashman's addition back to the lineup was massive. I

1553
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: think upfront they did a pretty good job. This is

1554
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: a different challenge. This Steealer line, I think is probably

1555
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,919
Speaker 1: on par with the Jags line. But again, it's gonna

1556
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: be a tackling show. It's Naji Harris, it's Jalen Warren,

1557
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: they will produce yards after contact because that's what they have.

1558
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: They don't they don't have big type speed. You know,

1559
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Nagi's big, Warren is stocky.

1560
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 3: There's no Leon Bell on this team.

1561
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's not somebody that's just gonna make you miss.

1562
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: You know that they're gonna run right at you and

1563
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: challenge you to come tackle them twenty five thirty times

1564
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 1: in this game. And that's what that's what the Texans

1565
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: are gonna have to do. And I feel better about

1566
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 1: that with ward and Petrie because if they need a break, now, you're.

1567
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 6: Bringing in a fresh Eric Murray or a fresh MJ.

1568
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: Stewart, and they give them an opportunity to go off

1569
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: the field, get some rest or just get ready for

1570
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: the next set of downs. And I like, I'd like that.

1571
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: I like that mix. But when that mixes stretched, oh boy,

1572
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: here we go now. I thought Eric Murray played really,

1573
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: really well, and so I'd like to see him get

1574
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,799
Speaker 1: even some more time back there. Not quite a rotation,

1575
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: but you know, for every two series, maybe he gets

1576
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: a series in there just to show to give those

1577
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: guys a break. But I feel like with Warden Petrie back,

1578
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 1: that just gives them it gives them juice, and it

1579
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: gives them, like Jimmy Show last week, really good open

1580
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: field tacking. There were a couple of shots that Jimmy

1581
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: landed that might have been five to seven yards down

1582
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: the field. But I promise you they felt them. They

1583
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: felt them, and that matters. And this week it's gonna

1584
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: be feeling it. But also making those stops at one

1585
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: and two yards step second and eight, second and nine

1586
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: not turn into second and six because you can't bring

1587
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: him down.

1588
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 2: It's a different Steelers team, right, You've got to make

1589
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 2: this game one in which Kenny Pickett has to win

1590
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 2: the game for them.

1591
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 3: That's what I want to say.

1592
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 2: Get the lead, make them play from behind, make them

1593
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 2: have to make plays in the passing game. I know

1594
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:57,600
Speaker 2: they have talented guys. I know Pickens is good and

1595
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 2: Pickett has his moments. He threw two tds last week.

1596
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 2: But last week was a game where they had the league. Right,

1597
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 2: you got to get out on top of them and

1598
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: step on their throats here and who knows how good

1599
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 2: this Texans team can be this year, but we got

1600
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 2: a little taste of it last week and we want

1601
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 2: to eat more.

1602
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think one of the I've heard this term used,

1603
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: this phrase used, and I really I really like it.

1604
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: When I heard, I was like, oh, that's good. I

1605
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: feel like certain teams want to drag you into their

1606
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 1: mud like they're they're happy slashing around in the mud,

1607
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 1: like they're tight ones. They right, they want to bring you.

1608
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: They want to bring you into the muck because they

1609
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: know if they get you and the muck, they got you.

1610
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't get pulled into the Steelers muck.

1611
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,759
Speaker 1: You can't get pulled into that sort of game against

1612
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers. You've got opportunities. The defense probably isn't quite

1613
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: Look they've got a lead players. Don't get me wrong

1614
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: with Watt high Smith, Minka. They got some dudes now

1615
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: and they're strong up front, but there's no Cameron Hayward

1616
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: that helps you. I don't know that the corners are great.

1617
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson seems like he's eighty five years old, still

1618
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 1: playing well, but he's not what he used to be.

1619
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 6: Levi Wallace is a guy they picked up last year. Freegency.

1620
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Let me if you hit the ball off, you've got

1621
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: a chance again.

1622
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this this way. You do have

1623
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 2: opportunities in this passing game. You hold up in production

1624
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 2: enough times. Look, you might take a few sacks, but

1625
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,879
Speaker 2: if you hold up enough times with these pass catchers

1626
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 2: what we've seen so far, there are opportunities against the

1627
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers if you're running the ball. I don't want

1628
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 2: to say forget about it because it's going to be

1629
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 2: that great, but it's going to be a lot better obviously.

1630
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 2: So let's see if they can get the mix they're

1631
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 2: looking for. You know, they know you throw for three

1632
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 2: eighty plus last week. You don't want to have to

1633
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 2: do that. You want to be able to throw for

1634
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 2: two to eighty and run for one plus and.

1635
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:41,719
Speaker 3: Get out of there with the victory.

1636
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 2: Don't turn it over, play clean, have your defense, make stops,

1637
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 2: be good on third down.

1638
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 3: We'll see if they can get that formula going this week.

1639
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: And if they get that formula going, then hopefully we're

1640
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: going to have a happy day celebrating after six hundred

1641
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: forty four day drought at home.

1642
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a lot of days, Johnny.

1643
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 6: That's got to end. That drought has to end.

1644
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: Six forty four, six forty four December twenty sixth, twenty

1645
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,799
Speaker 1: twenty one, October first, twenty twenty three and It's even

1646
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: longer if you go back to the last time that

1647
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Texas won to in a row. So I'd like to

1648
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: break that one as well. I didn't do the math

1649
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: on that one. I did the math on the other one.

1650
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's go get a w celebrate ninety nine

1651
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: and it'll make for a good weekend as we get

1652
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: ready for the Atlanta Falcons after that. Speaking of the Falcons,

1653
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:32,600
Speaker 1: they play early against the Jags in London. I'll have

1654
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: my pick for that and every other NFL game straight

1655
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: up and against the spread for fun, for fun.

1656
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:39,560
Speaker 6: Next right here in Texans All Access.

1657
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 1: It's a tgif F addition of Texans All Access. Thank

1658
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: god it's Football Friday. I could have put a couple

1659
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 1: of other fs in there, but then it probably gets obscene,

1660
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: and I can't say that per the FCC on radio.

1661
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: But I appreciate you being with me, John Harris Football

1662
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: and a sideline reporter for your Houston Texans. And this

1663
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: is the one time all week where I really get

1664
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: to kind of challenge myself. It's a competition to see

1665
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: how I do as we go around the NFL, and

1666
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,719
Speaker 1: I make my picks straight up and against it spread

1667
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 1: for fun. For fun. Everybody's clear for fun, right, got it?

1668
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: But it is fun to talk about these games. Now.

1669
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: I will be honest with you and tell you I

1670
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: would be zero and two because I picked the Packers

1671
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: to win and they were. They were the underdog, so

1672
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: they'd won, they would have covered. But I missed that

1673
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,719
Speaker 1: because the Lions ran all over them, like I hope

1674
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: the Texans do on Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers. So

1675
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: we got a ton of other games. We only got

1676
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: one Monday night game this week, which comes thinks, But

1677
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: that's okay because we got one London game. So that's

1678
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 1: where we're gonna start. But I need my music, bring

1679
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: me my music and not me singing either. All right,

1680
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: there it is, so let's get it started. At eight

1681
01:13:56,120 --> 01:14:00,480
Speaker 1: thirty am Central Time, which is like two thirty London times,

1682
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons go to London to take on the

1683
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. This is part of the Jacksonville Jaguars two

1684
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: time a year trip over to London. They'll play the Falcons,

1685
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 1: then they turn around and go tot and I'm gonna

1686
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: take on the Bills. They'll be the road team against

1687
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 1: the Bills with the home team in Wembley on Sunday.

1688
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:24,919
Speaker 1: The Jaguars didn't frequently lose over in London and especially

1689
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: playing at Wembley, so do they have enough juice to

1690
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: get it done. Jacksonville's favored by three over across the Ponds,

1691
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: and Landa only scored six points last week. Now, the

1692
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: Jags struggled in the first half. The scored any of

1693
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: the first half against the Texans. I think the Jags

1694
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: bounced back and they get this win and they cover

1695
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: the three. I think Tarvid Lawrence will bounce back. I

1696
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 1: feel like what happened in Jacksonville either sends last week,

1697
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: sends their season the toilet, or it gets them going

1698
01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:00,719
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Everything I read and heard after

1699
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: their game press conferences during the week was all about, man,

1700
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but we better get her

1701
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 1: act together. So either this is gonna be a Kumbaya

1702
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: moment what happen against the Texans, or they're just gonna

1703
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: create her I'm gonna go with the other one. I

1704
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,600
Speaker 1: think this is kind of a Kumbaya moment for the

1705
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. They get it done. They beat the Falcons,

1706
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: who then arrived back in Atlanta and away the Texans

1707
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 1: in Week five, but that's next week's We'll get to that.

1708
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 1: Then noon games. Oh boy, this is the matchup of

1709
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: the week. Josh Allen via Tua, Tyreek Hill, Stefan Diggs.

1710
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 1: Defensive lines on both sides that are top notch. This

1711
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,879
Speaker 1: one is going to be a blast. The Miami Dolphins

1712
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: at three to zero, coming off a seventy to twenty

1713
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: trouncing trouncing of the Bears, excuse me be the Broncos

1714
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: face the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, New York. Buffalo

1715
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: is favored by two and a half. I love this game.

1716
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: I hate have to pick it, but I feel like

1717
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna make the right adjustments. They've seen

1718
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins now three times. The Dolphins are gonna have

1719
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: to make adjustments in this game because the Bills defense

1720
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: is the best one they've seen to this point. So

1721
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Bills at home to cover

1722
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: the two and a half. Going with the Bills feeding

1723
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: off that crowd. The Bills need a big win. I

1724
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: think since that Bengals lost in the playoffs, there have

1725
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 1: been a lot of questions kind of like you look

1726
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: at the Bills, going like, all right, what are you guys? Well,

1727
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 1: this is that opportunity. They beat the Dolphins, they go

1728
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: to three and one, they'll go to the top of

1729
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 1: the AFC East, right where a lot of people thought

1730
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 1: they would be. Dolphins win. Now they put two games

1731
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: a distance between themselves and everybody else in the AFC East,

1732
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: and it is chasing maybe the uncatchable. But I think

1733
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: this weekend the Bills are gonna be that team that

1734
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: slows down the Dolphins. So Bills cover that two and

1735
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: a half and win the game at home out right.

1736
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 1: And then there's this So it's like a sign curve.

1737
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 1: You've seen a sign curve in math, Like you go

1738
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,719
Speaker 1: up and that's the Bills Dolphins, and then you come

1739
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,720
Speaker 1: down that's the Bears in the Broncos in Chicago, a

1740
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: new game, both teams owned three. How did last week go? Well?

1741
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 1: The Bears lost in Kansas City forty one to ten.

1742
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: The Broncos lost seventy to twenty in Miami. Now, how

1743
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 1: do you even try and make hide no hair of

1744
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: this game? Denver's favored by three and a half. I

1745
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: don't love that at all, But I do think Sean

1746
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:30,719
Speaker 1: Payton's gonna get it together. So I'm gonna go Peyton

1747
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: and the Broncos to win, but the Bears gonna cover.

1748
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a seventeen fourteen twenty one eighteen.

1749
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a three point game and it's the

1750
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 1: Broncos who will leave with victory number one, but the

1751
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: Bears are gonna get a cover. Raven's taken on the Browns.

1752
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: A lot of Ravens out of this game. For Sean Bateman,

1753
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: obij Ajabo O Way both out. Boy. The Browns may

1754
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: be without Deshaun Watson. It could be dtr time. That

1755
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 1: might be a good thing for the Browns. The Brown's

1756
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 1: are favored by one and a half. I'm going with

1757
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens. It's kind of a heart and head thing.

1758
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I want the Ravens to win. My heart says Ravens.

1759
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: My head has to say Ravens on this one as well.

1760
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: So Ravens go get the winning with all those guys.

1761
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: Out beat the Browns and get them to two and two.

1762
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 1: It's in Cleveland. It's always a tough place to play,

1763
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 1: but Lamar has won games even when he's had to

1764
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: go to the potty Durney games. He's come back out

1765
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 1: won a game. So we're going Ravens to win and

1766
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: cover that one and a half. Vikings and Panthers another

1767
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: game of zero to three teams. Wow. In the same weekend,

1768
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota's favored by four and a half at Carolina. Bryce

1769
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 1: Young will play, So I'm giving the Panthers an opportunity

1770
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: to get inside the number A four and a half.

1771
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,640
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give the Vikings a win now. The

1772
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: Vikings lose, there is a lot of noise around Kirk

1773
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 1: Cousins potentially going to another location as the Vikings don't

1774
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: do so well with a quarterback draft that is loaded,

1775
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 1: especially at the top of the t and there's been a

1776
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 1: lot of talking about kirk Cousins not coming coming back

1777
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: to Minnesota as it is. So I'm going with the

1778
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 1: Vikings to Kinna change all that. They'll get a win,

1779
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: but I think the Panthers will get a cover and

1780
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: get inside that four and a half. Rams taking on

1781
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: the Colts. Anthony Richardson is back, baby, and this was

1782
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: even This is a pick them, straight up pick them

1783
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 1: Rams Colts. I don't love Richardson playing against the Rams

1784
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: because Minshew was playing pretty well for the most part.

1785
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: The Rams kind of a mess at times, kut good

1786
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: at times. They're in the Jobed Taylor sweepstakes. Maybe at

1787
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: least that's the latest rumor I heard. So I'm gonna

1788
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: go with the Rams again. Hardhead situation here. I don't

1789
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: know that much separates these two. Vegas thinks the Rams

1790
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: are better. I'll go with it. I'll go with the

1791
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 1: Rams to beat the Colts in Indy because A we

1792
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: want it to and be I think it'll happen. I

1793
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: think they'll frustrate Richardson and Stafford will do just enough

1794
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,839
Speaker 1: to go get that dub good game in the NFC

1795
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,720
Speaker 1: South Bucks taking on the Saints. Bucks coming off of

1796
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: money that loss to the Eagles, tu any mistakes Saints

1797
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: coming off they lost where they had a big lead

1798
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: against the Packers and blew it in the fourth quarter.

1799
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: Derek carr uh dicey for this one. So New Orleans

1800
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: is fair by three at home, So Vegas the same,

1801
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: Bucks at Saints are the same. They do not like

1802
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: each other. They do not like each other. These two teams,

1803
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I know, in the same division. Like

1804
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: I get it, but I kind of don't. So in

1805
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 1: terms of hatred, I'm gonna go with the home team.

1806
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the Saints to get it

1807
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 1: back together, even if Jameis Winston has to play a quarterback.

1808
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: All right, another noon game. You got the Commanders taking

1809
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: on the Eagles. Eagles with three to zero, Commanders two

1810
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: to one. I think reality sort of hit last week

1811
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: for the Washington Commanders, losing thirty seven to three of

1812
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: the Bills at home. Now they go to Philly. I

1813
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: think Philly is about to turn a corner. They're back

1814
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: at home after a Monday night game away. Philly is

1815
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 1: faired by nine. Let's lay the points, take Philly to

1816
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: win and cover that nine. Bengals and Titans, Oh boy,

1817
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: here we go. Traylon Burks is out for the Titans.

1818
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: You could argue the number one receips depending on how

1819
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: you classify he and DeAndre Hopkins. Titans did move the

1820
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: ball at all. The Bengals gotta win last week. That's

1821
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: what they needed to do. Bengals beat the Rams at

1822
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 1: home on Monday night. They needed to do it. It wasn't pretty.

1823
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: The offense is still not clicking, but they found some

1824
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: new ways to use Jamar Chase. I think that's gonna

1825
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 1: payoff as the Bengals go to Tennessee stay've done before

1826
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 1: and beat the Titans and cover that two and a

1827
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: half road favorites. I hate, but I like this one

1828
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: because I just don't know that the Titans can do

1829
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: anything offensively to put points on the board and challenge

1830
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals. All right, It's Guitar afternoon games on Sunday.

1831
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: Raiders and Chargers both one and two out in Los Angeles.

1832
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo not sure if he is gonna play, even

1833
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 1: if he's out a concussion protocol that way, I just

1834
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: don't see the Chargers not winning this game. So with

1835
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 1: Chargers their four and a half point favorites, of taking

1836
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers to win over the Raiders, and Devonte Adams

1837
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 1: will probably get even more upset. Patriots go to the

1838
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Cowboys are six and a half point favorite.

1839
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,680
Speaker 1: I feel like there's something really wrong with his line,

1840
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: and I know the Cowboys did not look good against

1841
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Like I get it, the Cowboys have one

1842
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: of those games where they just trip all over themselves

1843
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: every single year. But when they have one of those games,

1844
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 1: they're so talented, they usually bounce back the other way,

1845
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's gonna happen. I think you're

1846
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Patriots by two touchdowns. This is one

1847
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 1: of the kind of those one of those ugly games

1848
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 1: where Belichick afterwards is we're under our next opponent, whoever

1849
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: the next opponent is for the Patriots. I think that's

1850
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen here. Dallas wins thirty five fourteen, that covers

1851
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: the six and a half. Then in the afternoon out

1852
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, the Cardinals, the plucky little Cardinals. They're

1853
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: fourteen point underdogs, so last week's went over Dallas didn't

1854
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: sway anybody. I think the forty nine ers are going

1855
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: to win this game by more than fourteen. They're gonna

1856
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:54,240
Speaker 1: win this On thirty one fourteen, it's seventeen, So Cardinals

1857
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: lose and the forty nine Ers win and cover Chiefs

1858
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 1: taken on the Jets. Travis Kelce and his his girlfriend

1859
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: what's her name? Okay, I forgot the name. Anyway, she's

1860
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna be there in New York. Apparently can't stay's fair

1861
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: by nine on the roads that Wilson has not played well,

1862
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with the Chiefs to win this game,

1863
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 1: but I do think the Jets are gonna keep it

1864
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 1: closer than people think. So I'm gonna go Chiefs to win,

1865
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 1: Jets to get inside that nine point spread. And then

1866
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: you got Seahawks Giants in New York. Seattle's fair by

1867
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: one and a half. That's about right. I think I

1868
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: think Seattle will win this game, maybe not going away,

1869
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: but I think they'll win it by five to seven.

1870
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: That covers the one and a half. So let's go

1871
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: another road favorite, Seahawks beat the Giants in New York.

1872
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: All Right, there you go your prediction straight up and

1873
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: against the spread. For fun, we get back little Drews

1874

Speaker 1: and we also had Justin James Watt aka ninety nine,

2082
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 1: one of the greatest that's ever laced him up. It

2083
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 1: was great to catch up with him, was great to

2084
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,160

2085
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 1: we had covering him. Just amazing, amazing young man. I

2086
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 1: can say that because I'm in my fifties and he's

2087
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 1: not there. He I used to think a lot, man,

2088
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:31,760
Speaker 1: what's he going to be like when he retires? I

2089

Speaker 1: don't even want to be there for that day. But

2090
01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:37,559

01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: to see him today and see he's doing well and

2092
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 1: hopefully his Texans will do well on Sunday because that's

2093
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:47,639
Speaker 1: what he would want as a ring of honor gift.

2094
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:51,639
Speaker 1: How about the Texans beating his brother's team on Sunday

2095
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:55,479

Speaker 1: six ten. We'll see you on Sunday, bright and early.

2098
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 1: The pregame show Texans Countdown with Seawan and Seth will

01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:08,720

2101
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: you gotta make that appointment listening. Then the game with

2102
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 1: Mark Andre and myself, and then the postgame show with

2103
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,599
Speaker 1: Sean Pendergast and Clin Sterner, and hopefully it'll be one

2104
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: like last week where they're discussing a Texans win. And

2105
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with two numbers. Mark and I talked

2106
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 1: about this as we were kind of wrapping up shop today.

2107
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: Six hundred and forty four and one thousand and thirty nine.

2108
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 1: What are those numbers? Well, it's been six hundred and

2109
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 1: forty four days. Sunday will be from the last time

2110
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 1: the Texans won a home game December twenty six, twenty

2111
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 1: twenty one. I remember the date like the back of

2112
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: my hand, six hundred and forty four days in between wins.

2113
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 1: A win over the Steelers can end that. It's like

2114
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 1: one of those you know, days since last you know,

2115
01:33:56,520 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: somebody's injured. You've seen those seventy five days since last

2116
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: work injury, and then that thing goes to zero. We

2117
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: want ours to go to zero. One thousand and thirty

2118
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 1: nine days since Thursday, November twenty six, twenty twenty. You

2119
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 1: wonder what that was. Well, JJ Watt had to pick

2120
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 1: six against Detroit Lions in a win for the second

2121
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 1: week in a row. It's the last time that Texas

2122
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 1: had won two games in a row Thursday, November twenty six,

2123
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That's one thousand, thirty nine days ago, six

2124
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:30,240
Speaker 1: hundred and forty four, one thousand and thirty nine Let's

2125
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:34,719
Speaker 1: end those streaks on Sunday. One win ends them both,

2126
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,360
Speaker 1: and boy that would be nice. Let's get a zero

2127
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 1: up on the days without a work injury card, if

2128
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Got it good? All right,

2129
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 1: We'll see everybody on Sunday in Energy Stadium. Be loud,

2130
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 1: where you're red. It's gonna be exciting. Of course, you

2131
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 1: can cheer for one number ninety nine on that day.

2132
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 1: See that, everybody, and as always, go Texans.
