1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, welcome to the program.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: As we ready for the Browns, not we get ready

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: ready in the verb sense.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Okay, we ready ourselves for the Browns.

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: Let's start with a grammatical lesson here on a Thursday.

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: We are so fired up for this one.

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: Mark vandermir and John Harris with you with the general

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: because it's Thursday night and that's what we do on

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: Thursday nights, and it is a colossal showdown on Christmas Eve,

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Brown's nine to five Texans eight and six. You have

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, who practiced full today, by the way, against

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: who CJ. Stroud remains out of practice concussion protocol. Will

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: Anderson did not practice. Good to see Jimmy Ward upgrade

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: to limited.

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Coming back from a concussion.

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: We'll find out more tomorrow when the final injury report

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: comes out prior to the game on Sunday.

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: But it is on and it is big, and it's

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: the general.

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Good evening, John, what do you think of this one

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: we have coming up on Sunday?

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: First of all, only twenty five percent of players who

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: go out with cushions come back the next week, and

24
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 3: the figure is even worse for quarterbacks. And I keep

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: doing all these talk shows that talk about how great

26
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: the Browns defense is number one in the league. It

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: is at home. At home, they're seven and one, they're

28
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: giving up thirteen points a game. On the road, they

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: are two and four and they're giving up thirty points

30
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: a game. And on our Utoli of Football podcast today

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: we had a guest from talk show from Odyssey up

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: in Cleveland and we ask him that question, said, everybody

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: wonders why is it that they can't play on the

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: road the way they did at home. Miles Garrett course

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: will have his family, his AGGI friends will be here,

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: and he hadn't had a sack at four games. You

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: know he's going to be chomping at the bit. But

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what one thing I know, and I

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: wrote about it last week and I wrote about it

40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: again today. The Browns will not run on the Texas.

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: The Texans run defense has been great for the season,

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: giving up ninety three yards a game for the last

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: ten games, giving up eighty five and in their number

44
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: two and few a shorans per carry, so drum Ford's

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: their leading rusher with seven or eighteen yards. Kareem Hunt

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: also plays. They're gonna shut down the run I was

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: stunned they did it in such a dominating fashion against

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: the Titans of Derrick Henry without Will Anderson Jr. And

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: without Blake Cashman. And Derek Barnett stepped up big time

50
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: in his first start, played in his hometown of Nashville,

51
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: and he played great. Now he's gonna have to play again.

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: I'm expecting he'll play great again, and they will I

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: think man handle the Browns running game. Browns had big

54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: time injuries, just like the Texans do up front. Their

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: top three offensive tackles are on injured reserve. Maybe Jonathan

56
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: Gernard Derek Barty could take advantage of that. So it's

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: gonna come down to Flacco and Keenum One who's turning

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: thirty nine next month, want to be thirty six soon.

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna be so much fun to watch. And the

60
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: only thing I can tell you right now that bothers

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: me is because all those Browns fans got tickets here

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: back in the back after the schedule came out. So

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: people are mad at the Texans for selling their fans,

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: for selling their tickets. They didn't do it. Now you

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 3: know they're not doing it. What makes me mad is

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: when there's empty seats. Hopefully those seats will be filled

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: by Texans fans.

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: General'm not gonna worry about that too much. Last week

69
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: we talked about the quarterback situation and we were all

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: convinced there was Davis Mills, and it turns out to

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: be case Keenum. Then you listen today, people are like, well,

72
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: it could be Davis Mills. Do you think it could

73
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: be Davis? What do you think about the quarterback situation

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: for the Texans with cjstill on the protocol?

75
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: John, Well, when I saw Tomiko, he didn't have stupid

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: right across his forehead. I'm not going to start Case

77
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: gingam and win a game and have Case, who's been

78
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: in a lot of big games, overcome his pig six

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: and his thirteen oh deficit to scratching claw at those

80
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: field goals. I kept thinking, you're going to lose, keep

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: settling for field goals in the red zone, and then

82
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: to win. It turned out to be the best deal

83
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: they could do. Case. Of course he's going to start

84
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 3: this game. And he's now won three games in four years,

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: two with the Browns at twenty one and one with

86
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: the Texans in Nashville, which was such a delicious victory

87
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: satisfying because of all that Columbia blue in Tennessee and

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: so now they get the Browns the one air last year.

89
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: You know, I just may sound sacrilegious, but as great

90
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: as the Texas defense is played, coming off this game,

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 3: I'm kind of sad that Sean's not going to be

92
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: playing and get chased by Jonathan Grenard, at Malink Collins

93
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: and Sheldon Rankins and Derek Bartin.

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: Well, I think that Deshaun being on the shelf for

95
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: the rest of the year has really helped the Browns.

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: And I don't live in their building, but general, I

97
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 2: gotta imagine having that distraction of constant questions regarding his health,

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: his availability, his influence. He had a couple of good

99
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: games for the Browns, no doubt, but he had some

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: questionable games as well. I think it's almost helping them

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: that they don't have to deal with the Deshaun distraction.

102
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: And maybe that changes in the future, but that's just

103
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: the way I feel for them right now.

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: That's a great point, And as Darryl Rogers said today

105
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 3: on our talk show on our podcast, that's already a

106
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: big conversation up there. Well, what if Flacco keeps winning

107
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: and I asked him, I said, Okay, I'm not saying

108
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: it's going to happen, but what if Flacco is quarterback?

109
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: You want first super Bowl in franchise history. There's the

110
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: starting quarterback next year, so well, considering Deshawn's camp figures

111
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: about one hundred and ninety million, next year, it would

112
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: be Flacco. And Flacco is a great success story. Played

113
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: poorly on the road, He's got the other touchdowns, five interceptions.

114
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: He is the first pure pocket passer the Texans have

115
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: played since Derek carl on October fifteenth. And because I

116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: looked up all the carries by quarterbacks this year, and

117
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: don't you know, Will Anderson Junior is just frogging at

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 3: the mouth to go after Flaco because they know where

119
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: Flacco is going to be and that's good for their

120
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 3: offensive lineman to know that. And he's he's flinging it.

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: He said, more you through for three hundred seventy four

122
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: yards overcame three interceptions and they won the game, just

123
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: like CJ. Stroud won in his green interception game. And

124
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: their wacko for Flacco in Cleveland right now, no matter

125
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: what happens.

126
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: John, what's the blueprint and the Texans are a three

127
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: points underdog. What's the blueprint for them getting a win

128
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: on Sunday?

129
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 3: Well, you like to see him run the ball again

130
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: like they did against Tennessee. The Browns have a little

131
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: better run defense there. They're eleventh giving up one hundred

132
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: and two point two, and the Texans actually reached triple digits.

133
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: It's amazing they got up to one hundred. They're actually

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: twenty second now in rushing and man, if they could

135
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: run the ball, control the clock a little bit. Set

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: up to play action from Case, I'm sure, and the

137
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: Browns know. The Browns have had the same players there

138
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: for a while. They all know Case really well. Coaches

139
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: know him really well. Stefanski loves him, and they know

140
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: Case is not going to be like CJ. Stroud throwing

141
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: the ball down the field. He's going to dink it

142
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: and dunk it, dump it and go to check downs

143
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: to try to find Dalton Schultz and get Nico back Nico.

144
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: I'm guessing they'll throw crossing routes and rely on his

145
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: breaking tackles and get in the yack. But it's a

146
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: big game for Case. You know. The main reason they

147
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: got him, I think was to mentor the quarterback whoever

148
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: the quarterback was going to be, and he's gonna He's

149
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: been a very one sung mentor for CJ. Stroud in

150
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: his development. And DeVico had a hunts last week. It

151
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: might have been what he's seen in practice. It might

152
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: have been the fact that he'd been in so many

153
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: big games, but he elevated him to be the starter.

154
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: And you have seen Tomico make very many bad moves

155
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: and that was another good one. And now Case has

156
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: got to feel even though he's confident, he's got to

157
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: feel more confident now that he knocked off all the

158
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: spider webs and cobwebs, and then the coach has got

159
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: to have confidence in him after seeing him play and

160
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: do what he did. You know, he picked six and

161
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: so what I've done that kind of stuff before, Let's

162
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: move on. And so I thought it was a terrific

163
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: effort by him. And as you guys know, he's one

164
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: of the most popular athletes we've ever had in our city,

165
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: primarily because of what he did at U of H

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: where he played like ten years before. There was the

167
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: transfer portal, and then of course in his third tour

168
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: with the Texans.

169
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: All right, general it's Thursday night.

170
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: That means I need to start talking about the Horseshoe

171
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: a little bit, because my blood starts to boil every

172
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: time they get ready to take the field. This squad

173
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: will not only not go away, they're confounding. They win

174
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: last week with two running backs no one's ever heard of,

175
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 2: going well over one hundred combined, and here they are

176
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: down the stretch they come, and what a nuisance they are.

177
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: Look at their schedule the rest of the way, the

178
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 2: Falcons on the road, the Raiders at home, and then

179
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: we have the showdown Week eighteen with the Texans and

180
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: Colts in Indy. What do you really think of the division?

181
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: Here down the stretch, this three way tie. I have

182
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: to say the Jags should have the edge. But Trevor

183
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: Lawrence didn't practice again today, so he's probably out this week.

184
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: And as Johnny pointed out, all four division teams are

185
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: playing with backup quarterbacks and now the Titans are going

186
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: to go back to Ryan Tannehill.

187
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: This is totally weird.

188
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Shane Steiger has done a really good job. Gardner

189
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: Minshew's done a great job. They're two and five against

190
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: teams with winning records. Them beat a team with a

191
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: winning record since Baltimore back on September twenty fourth, and

192
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: their schedule has not been as difficult as the Texans.

193
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: And now they're playing in Atlanta, and Atlanta's going back

194
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: to Taylor heinike. Maybe you know, they're still in the

195
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: race for the NFC South. They're coming off a humiliating

196
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: loss to Carolina. Maybe just maybe going against CJ. Bethard,

197
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: they can pull it out. Jonathan Taylor's supposed to be back.

198
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 3: Then they host Las Vegas. You know what's good about that?

199
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: And hosting the Texans. They got a losing record at home,

200
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: so that the Jaguars, both of them have losing records

201
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: at Hall. So I think the fact that they're going

202
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 3: to host the Raiders and the Texans, it doesn't bode

203
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: well for them. But I think that last game is

204
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 3: going to come down to whichever team either wins the

205
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: division or earns a wildcard. Berth and everybody thinks Buffalo

206
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,599
Speaker 3: is the best wildcard team, even though they're buying the

207
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: Texans right now, nobody wants to play them in Their

208
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: schedule eases up after being very difficult except for a

209
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: trip to Miami in the last game, and so it's

210
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: you know, we couldn't even imagine going into the season

211
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: that this was possible that we were going to be

212
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: talking about the Texans and the division title. What is

213
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: this the sixteenth weekend of the season. I mean, it's

214
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: just unimaginable. It shows what they've done a great coaching job.

215
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: I did a column today about the role Matt Burke,

216
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator, has played in a great performance of

217
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: the defensive line, which is coached by Joxon's there and

218
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 3: Roight right because that's his baby, and that defensive line

219
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: when last week there were only four new players Gardy

220
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: that were not on the team last year, and they've

221
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: gone from one seventy to ninety three yards. That defense

222
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: is capable of dominating, and that defensive line especially, And

223
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: so for us to be talking playoffs right now, I

224
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: was asking another show if the Texans don't make the

225
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: playoffs as season of disappointment. I said, no, they'll be

226
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: disappointed they didn't make the playoffs, but the season has

227
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: been a humongous success.

228
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 4: Speaking of success general, the Dolphins are ten and four now.

229
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 4: They have they have not beaten a team with a

230
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: winning record this year, which is interesting and they've already

231
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: lost at Buffalo. How worried should the Miami Dolphins be

232
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: with games against Dallas at Baltimore and then against the Bills.

233
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: How worried should they be of Buffalo from behind at

234
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 4: eight and six, have an opportunity with the Chargers the Patriots,

235
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: and in the game at Miami. How worried should Miami

236
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: beat of Buffalo.

237
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: Well, they shouldn't be worried about the Cowboys. The Cowboys

238
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: stink it up on the road against good teams. Everybody

239
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: knows that they ought to beat the Cowboys. That's the close,

240
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: toughest closing schedule in the NFL. And I saw a

241
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: stat today they get more yards after the initial hit

242
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: in the running game than any team in the league.

243
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: And yet you don't think of them as a powered team.

244
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: You think of them as a finesse team, just like

245
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers because they play the zones team.

246
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: But they can run it, they can throw it, and

247
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill's going to be out again. But you know

248
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: the way the Cowboys just got man handled by the

249
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 3: Bills and Josh Allen didn't even throw for one hundred yards.

250
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: The Dolphins ought to win this game, and then Baltimore

251
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: and Buffalo are going to be tough. But man, they

252
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: got the revenge motive against the Bills in South Florida

253
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: because they were humiliated by Buffalo in that first game.

254
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be interesting if the game didn't mean anything

255
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: except for Buffalo to be a wildcard and Mike McDaniel

256
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: rested a lot of players and helped Buffalo win, and

257
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: Buffalo gets the wildcard spot even though right now their

258
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 3: trail everybody. I don't think that would happen. But if

259
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: it does come down to that where Miami's in a

260
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: position and need to rest some guys, how can you

261
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: not when you're gonna have to play the next week?

262
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: John back to the Titans for a moment after the

263
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: Texans beat them, I thought, man, that's just such a

264
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: bad loss for Tennessee.

265
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Where are they going? What's the plan? What can they do?

266
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Is Will Levis really the guy?

267
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: Obviously they'll go with Tannehill this weekend, And by the way,

268
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: I really don't want to see him next weekend.

269
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: Get well, Will Levis?

270
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: We want to see again Buddy at at RG Stadium

271
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: a week from Sunday. But all that aside, what's the

272
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: future like in this offseason for the Tennessee Titans. What's

273
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: their plan to fortify.

274
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: Well, they're not going to fire anybody. They may fire

275
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: some assistant is Mike Rabel's not going anywhere. Ran Carl Thorn,

276
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: the first year GM from the forty nine ers, you know,

277
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: he and Rabel are going to work closely together. They

278
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: got to get an offensive line. They've had injuries. They're

279
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: number one pick was Peter Skeronski. They're going to be

280
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: in a position to draft an offensive tackle early and

281
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: it's a really good draft for tackles and it's going

282
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: to be a great draft for wide receivers, so you

283
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: don't need one in the first round. That's their two

284
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: biggest needs. You know, they played that game without Jeffrey

285
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: Simmons and their line is terrible. They've had injuries, they've

286
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 3: had suspensions, and they just got beat up physically bullied

287
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: by the Texans defensive line. So their defense is still

288
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: pretty good. I mean in five quarters, they gave up

289
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: nineteen points and what one touchdown. The problem is on

290
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: offense because they don't have any big play receivers and

291
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: they don't have lineman to protect Levis. But they love

292
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: Levis he is their quarterback.

293
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 4: He is going forward, no question about that. General.

294
00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: He is.

295
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: Yep, interesting, very interesting. How do you think they handle

296
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: it the rest of the year in general with that team?

297
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 4: Do they they? And more importantly, what do they do

298
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: with Henry in the future. His comments after the game

299
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 4: and his press are were kind of interesting talking about

300
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: his time coming to an end in Tennessee. Do you

301
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: think that's that's truly a possibility that they will move

302
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: on from Derrick Henry? And what do you think the

303
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: market is for Henry going forward?

304
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: I don't think there is a market. He turns thirty,

305
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: He's got a lot of mileage on him, He's not

306
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: helped by the offensive line. He leaves the league in

307
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: getting hit in the backfield. More than fifty percent of

308
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: his carries he's hit in the backfield. And Texans said

309
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: twelve tackles for lost, second most in team history, and

310
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: probably almost all of them were Derrick Henry. It was

311
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: great game plan. They executed it to a fault. They

312
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: were just unbelievable up front. And if he taken, they're

313
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: gonna have a lot of money. They're gonna have even

314
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: more money than the text is to spend. They could

315
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: pay whatever they want, but you're not going to pay

316
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: a guy it's going to be thirty years old with

317
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: all that wear and tear on him. And so I

318
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 3: think if he thinks he's going to get not even

319
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: a great contract, but just more than they're going to offer,

320
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: I be really surprised because ty J. Spears is not

321
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: a full time guy. They have to get somebody else.

322
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 3: But you know, that's been a position. It's pretty easy

323
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: to fill. They got a lot more to worry about

324
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: than Derrick Henry when it comes to talent and they

325
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: but they want to win, you know, don't you know

326
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 3: they'd love to come in here and spoil the Texans

327
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: playoff run next week after the Texans just embarrassed them.

328
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: They would they do everything they can to win that

329
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: game and ruin the Texans season and.

330
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: Better be ready for them in Cleveland first, then the

331
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: game against the Colts.

332
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: General. We touched on this with Nick Cassio last night.

333
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: I want to get your thoughts on the backup quarterbacks

334
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: in this league and how many.

335
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: Are involved in the playoff hunt.

336
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: It is a bizarro world when you look at how

337
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: many backups are out there.

338
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: NFC too, I mean I'll watch the game on Monday night.

339
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: I'm watching Drew Locke rally the Seattle Seahawks to elite victory.

340
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: Unbelievable stuff. In this league.

341
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: It goes to show you you definitely need more than

342
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: one quarterback on your squad because the backup is likely

343
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: to play.

344
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: You need a former starter. You need somebody that's gonna

345
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: work with the starter. You know, I think Ryan Tannehill

346
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 3: if he leaves that he's going to be in demand

347
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: as a backup quarterback. Gardner minshe is gonna have to

348
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: get a raised. Teams are just gonna have to devote

349
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: more money to the backup quarterback position. The Texans with

350
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: two veterans starters in the backup role, there can't be

351
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: many teams that have more. I think of gosh, all

352
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: the teams that have made most of the guys like

353
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: Tommy DeVito is a great success story, but he's a

354
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: flash in the pan. You know, you need more than that.

355
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: And so I think a team like the Titans, the

356
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: Texans have plenty of money if they want to make

357
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: a you know, Mills has one year left on his

358
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: contract and Case signed for two years. I think he did,

359
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: and so they should be in good shape. But a

360
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: guy like Andy Dalton, who's bouncing around now and he's

361
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: in Carolina. I would think guys like that who started

362
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: been to the playoffs, they will be in demand making

363
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: good money.

364
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 1: Well.

365
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: Shoey Antani is in so far tonight to see the

366
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 4: Saints in the Rams general who is Showy going to

367
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: see as the winner tonight? In a big seven and

368
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: seven record on both sides, Saints v. Rams? Who you got?

369
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: I got the Rams the Rams hot. I think they

370
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: won three or four four five. Matthew Stafford is playing great,

371
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 3: They're running the ball well. They're kind of a dark

372
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: horse here for the playoffs, and they, of course they've

373
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: got a few players that won the Super Bowls still around.

374
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: Sean mcvay's a very good coach. I don't have any

375
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: faith in the Saints, especially their offense, but I'm going

376
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: with the Rams, all right.

377
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: Interesting stuff when you look at the NFC versus the

378
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: AFC and the Super Bowl.

379
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: Give me your Super Bowl pick right now? Has it

380
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: changed from where it started?

381
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: I picked the Ravens before the season on every one

382
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: of my talk shows and Twitter and podcasts. You guys

383
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: know that because I've talked about it. So I'm sticking

384
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: with the Ravens in the AFC. Nobody's going to supplant

385
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers. And the only way the forty

386
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: nine ers aren't going to Super Bowl is if they

387
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: have three quarterbacks get hurt.

388
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: Yes, it has.

389
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 3: Demiko Ryans knows all about it. He probably would have

390
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl if it hadn't been for those

391
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: injuries to first tray Lands, then brock Party and then

392
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: who was the next one that got hurt after that

393
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: before they went to Josh Johnson, And it was just

394
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: terrible for Kyle Shannian and Bobby slowyck Namiko Ryans. But

395
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: I'll tell you something that I can't wait for the

396
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: rest of this season, of course, but I can't wait

397
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 3: for next season. See how many primetime games the Texans

398
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: is gonna get with CJ. Stroud, how much love they're

399
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: going to get in the AFC South. I've been telling

400
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: some of my friends around the country who asked, who

401
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: used to live here? Was what it's like here? And

402
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: I tell them there's such a buzz about the Texans

403
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: right now. They're playing this Dimiko likes to call it

404
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: meaningful football at this time of year. I don't know

405
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: how anybody can't be fired up about the Texans this season.

406
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: Nine of the last ten decided in the last thirty seconds,

407
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: four with no time left. Nine to ten decided by

408
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: seven or fewer points, eight of those by five or

409
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: fewer points. And when Dimko said this week, we're battle tested, boy,

410
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: he's speaking from experience. And if they play a close

411
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 3: game now, I don't think we're going to see anymore

412
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: Carolina and Atlanta performances. They may get beat by a

413
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: good team on a field goal at the end, but

414
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: they're not going to get beat by a bad team

415
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: because this team is playing its ass off.

416
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 4: General the Philadelphia Eagles, what's gone wrong?

417
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: John? I think they have that Super Bowl losing itis. Yes,

418
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: because other New England one year, no team that lost

419
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: has been back since since I think the Steelers in

420
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: the nineties, whatever it is, you know, I think we've

421
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: talked about this before. You would think the Super Bowl

422
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: loser would be the hungriest, most motivated team in the NFL.

423
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: But it just doesn't happen. Their defensive line is not

424
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: playing great like it was earlier. Jalen Hurts is not

425
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: playing as well as he did the offensive line isn't

426
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: their running game doesn't work the way it has They're

427
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: just discombobulated right now. Clearly San Francisco is the best team,

428
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: and I guess Philadelphia Dallas are behind them. Both of

429
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 3: those teams could win the NFC East. It's been years

430
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: since the NFC East has had a repeat champion, so

431
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys is gonna win that division really well.

432
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: I think the Eagles will win the next three games.

433
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: I think They've lost to pretty good teams here. It's

434
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: been a rough road. Seventeen games is ridiculously long for

435
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: these teams to get up for each and every week

436
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: when they are a team that everybody really gets up

437
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: to play.

438
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: Now, that's no.

439
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: Excuse, and I'm no Eagles fan, but I think there's

440
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: a lot of football left. Three games is a lot

441
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: of football. We'll see how this all goes. And the Cowboys,

442
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: like you pointed out, general, I mean, what the Eagles have?

443
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: What do they have? The Giants twice or something.

444
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: Cowboys have Dolphins, Lions, and the Commandos, as Seth would say.

445
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: And the Eagles, what do they got?

446
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 3: Giants?

447
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: They've got the Cardinals, They've got the Giants again. We'll

448
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: see how it goes. But I want to switch gears

449
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 2: the Chiefs at nine to five.

450
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Is this all right?

451
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: They're laying in the weeds, They're gonna get hot in

452
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: the playoffs or do they have real problems because I

453
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: think they kind of have some real problem on offense here.

454
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that situation?

455
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: I was just asking on my San Antonio show, why

456
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: are they Chiefs promoting Kadarius Tony for the Pro Bowl

457
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: on their social media site? And I said, well, number one,

458
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: I don't pay attention to the Pro Bowl anymore. But

459
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that's got to be a slight because

460
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 3: that team's got problems with wide receiver. Everybody knows it.

461
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is losing it because of that. A lot

462
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 3: of fans expect them to flip a switch and all

463
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden they're going to be the playoff Chiefs.

464
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: Not unless their guys can start catching the football and

465
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: you can see the frustration when it happens. So I

466
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to beat Baltimore. Maybe somebody will

467
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: beat Baltimore. So I don't see anybody beating San Francisco.

468
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 3: Detroit is so up and down since Thanksgiving. You can't

469
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: have confidence in Detroit, although I got to say I

470
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: wouldn't mind seeing it Cleveland Detroit super Bowl, just for

471
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: all those long suffering fans they have in both cities.

472
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 3: But it's clearly the forty nine ers are the best team.

473
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: But it doesn't mean they're not going to get upset.

474
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 3: But they just have so many playmakers, and that defensive

475
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: line is at three sacks in a row for so

476
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 3: many at least three sacks for so many games. And

477
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 3: people ask me, where do you think the Texas is

478
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: going to do with their first round pick? And I say,

479
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: look what the forty nine ers did. Number one picks

480
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: across the board in the defensive line and backups, and

481
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: all the back guy back seven are all lower picks.

482
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: So I'm guessing when the time comes, they're going to

483
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: be looking at a defensive lineman. Because I'm trying to

484
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: pay close attention to the forty nine ers, and I

485
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 3: think it's going to be fun the rest of this season.

486
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: It's going to be a great offseason considered. Caserio has

487
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: some money to spend, whether he wants to spend it

488
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 3: on his guys, starting with Jonathan Grenard, who's been phenomenal

489
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: and or bring in some guys from other teams. But boy,

490
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: Serio and Ryans what they did in the off season

491
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: bringing in just the right player Sheldon Rankins most underrated

492
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: player on the defense, Devin Single Terry. You know he's

493
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: got a chance for a thousand yards. So they've pushed

494
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: all the right but.

495
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: General, thanks so much of the time.

496
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: We'll read the stuff on Sports Radio six ten dot

497
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: com and listen to the Utopia podcast.

498
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, guys, I do appreciate it. Merry Christmas,

499
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: n happy.

500
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: Out, Mary Christmas, John Harris and I have Who's Better?

501
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: It's coming up next Texans related things. Case Keatam said

502
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: something nice about CJ. Stroud on the Many cast on Monday.

503
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: What was that? And Houston Methodist Minutes.

504
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: It's all coming up before Thursday night football here on

505
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: Texans Radio.

506
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: We returned to Texans Radio.

507
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: Moving right along here on Texans Radio, Mark VanderMeer, John

508
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 2: Harris with you and we've hit on some of these things,

509
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: but we're gonna hit on them in a different way.

510
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: And Who's Better? Johnny, here we go. What a playoff

511
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: chase going on right now? And the Texans are right

512
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 2: in the thick of it. But I'll give you an

513
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: either or here type question. Who's better better eight and

514
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: six AFC team, the eight and six Bengals or.

515
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: The eight and six Colts. Who do you have?

516
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: Wow?

517
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 4: Man, you came right out of shoot with that one.

518
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm gonna go Colts. And there's one major

519
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 4: reason why I can guess what is it?

520
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: They can run the ball well and it doesn't seem

521
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: to matter who's in there.

522
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 4: Well, there's a certain person on the Bengals who's not

523
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 4: there when other teams run the ball. And that I

524
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 4: mean we we we gash the Bengals at the run game,

525
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 4: and that was with DJ Reader. Yeah, they now do

526
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 4: not have DJ Reader and Jamar chases out this weekend.

527
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 4: That's massive. Now, nobody's crying in the beer for the

528
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: Bengals because every team has had to deal with that.

529
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 4: I mean, loyg go what the Texans had to deal

530
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: with last week. So nobody's crying in their beer for it.

531
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 4: So and to the Bengals credit, they wouldn't either. They

532
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 4: lost Joe Burrow after the game. Was the game the

533
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 4: Ravens a Thursday night after we played him. We beat

534
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: up Joe, he goes to the Ravens, they beat him

535
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: up even more is out for the year. Jake Brown,

536
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 4: he's come in and really carried him and he's been incredible.

537
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 4: Te Higgins has made plays. That was even last week

538
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 4: without Jamar Chase didn't play much and Reader didn't play

539
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 4: much in that game. But to me, the Colts right

540
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: now are the scariest eight and six team not named

541
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills. I think the Bills. I think Bills are

542
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: scarier than Browns. I think the Bills are a really

543
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: good football team, hitting their stride now. They've gotten all

544
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 4: the noise behind them that Joe Brady thinks seems to

545
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 4: be working out for them. Offensively, James Cook has become

546
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: a weapon. So the Bills to me are the best

547
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: eight and six team. I think the Colts are scarily

548
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 4: right there. Again, like all these eight and six teams,

549
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: the Colts had probably two games they should have never won.

550
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 4: They should never be in the Patriots in Germany, and

551
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: there were probably a couple other they shouldn't have won.

552
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: Same with the Texans, same with the Bengals. There are

553
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: a few that they probably shouldn't have Both ways, I'm.

554
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: Gonna say the Colts, because the Colts are probably the

555
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: closest I think to being fully healthy other than Minshew.

556
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: For for Richardson, but I think Minshew actually makes them better.

557
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 4: Richardson are probably making better in the long run. But

558
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 4: I think this year, if richard were playing this year,

559
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: I think they'd be six to eight. I think the

560
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 4: record be realised. But Richards's not there, and Minshew has

561
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 4: just kept a very talented team on the tracks.

562
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: Well he's kept them on the tracks because they can

563
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: run the ball.

564
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: I'm just going to go with that.

565
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: And even in the last game, they've got two guys

566
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: you've never heard of running the football well for them, yep,

567
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: as Moss goes out, as they're already without Taylor, all

568
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 2: of that all right, let's go here. And by the way,

569
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: we know the Bengals are playing the Steelers this week

570
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: and the Colts to learn the Falcons. So we are

571
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: interested in these two AFC South games. Better chance to win?

572
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: Who's better? Better chance to win? The Bucks beating the

573
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: Jaguars at home in Tampa Bay or at Tampa Tampa

574
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: Bay is not really a place, It's just kind of

575
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: a region Atlanta hosting the Colts, so the Bucks against

576
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: the Jags at home or Atlanta at home versus the Colts.

577
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Who's got a better chance to win for us?

578
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: I know for the AFC South, the spotlight is obviously

579
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 4: on eight and six Texans nine to five Browns. I

580
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: think both teams have got a really decent shot, both

581
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: playing at home, but I'm gonna say Bucks over the Jags.

582
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 4: First of all. CJ. Bethard more than likely is gonna

583
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 4: be starting for Trevor Lawrence for the Jags two or B,

584
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 4: depending on how I started. Baker Mayfield put up a

585
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 4: perfect rating against the Packers in Lambeau. He's the only

586
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 4: quarterback to have done that. He's hot. He's hot. They're

587
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: finding their stride. I'm glad we played the Bucks when

588
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: we did, and that was a dogfight when we played him.

589
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 4: They're catching fire. I think the Bucks are gonna go

590
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: ahead and win that division, and to do that, they

591
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 4: got to beat the Jags.

592
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 5: Now.

593
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: I do think the Falcons are are gonna play hard,

594
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: and I think Taylor Heineke similarly to what Case gives

595
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 4: the Texans. I think Heinike's got some of that great

596
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 4: and grind, but he's smart and I think he's not

597
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: gonna make mistakes. And if the Falcons can just stick around,

598
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 4: they'll have a chance because they have so much offensive talent.

599
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 4: And if Heinike can just get a final driver, you

600
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 4: can just get the ball to all those weapons, they're

601
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 4: gonna have a chance to win. So I'm gonna go

602
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 4: Bucks with a better chance. But I give the Falcons

603
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: a great chance to beat the Colts too. Man, what

604
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 4: if both of those happening we won?

605
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: Oh?

606
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 4: Oh my god? Oh oh? All right.

607
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: So we talked about this with the general. The amount

608
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: of backup quarterbacks playing is insane. We talked about it

609
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: with Nick Casio last night. But best backup among this group,

610
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave Keenum out of it. Let's just stick

611
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,239
Speaker 2: with the AFC because the NFC has their share as well.

612
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: Look at the Vikings, Look at Drew Loche playing well

613
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: on Monday night for the Seattle Seahawks. But let's go here.

614
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: Best backup quarterback in this group Jake Browning with the Bengals,

615
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: Minshew with the Colts, Flacco with the Browns. I'll go

616
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: with CJ. Bethard for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And who else

617
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: am I missing?

618
00:31:59,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 6: Oh?

619
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: Rudolph for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're still alive, Johnny, best backup.

620
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: You can pick one backup out of that group. Who

621
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: you taking, who you're taking for Team X, your fictional

622
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: football team in the playoff race. I will not take Rudolph. Yeah,

623
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: he can get lost, Okay, Bethard, no chance. So you're

624
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: going process of elimination.

625
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, processlimination. So that gets me down to three Browning,

626
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: Minshew and Flacco.

627
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: Tough.

628
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 4: I would my lean would be to Flacco just because

629
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 4: what I'm seeing from him is actually no different from

630
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 4: what we saw in twenty twelve with the Ravens. There's

631
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 4: throwing picks. John He is throwing picks now. One of

632
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 4: them the other day was tipped. But I went back

633
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: and I looked at his numbers. Mark, when is he

634
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 4: not thrown picks? He does throw picks. He's always thrown picks.

635
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: One postseason he did not throw any picks at eight

636
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: postseason run exactly twenty twelve.

637
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 4: But every year he's thrown picks. It doesn't matter what

638
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: the year. But he's he's never put up really high

639
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 4: touchdown numbers, even he's seven to five, yeah, seven touchdowns,

640
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 4: five interceptions. I think is his numbers, and there's just

641
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 4: not a lot of change of that. Of those three,

642
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna say Jake Browning. I think Jake's been

643
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: the more impressive thrower of that group. He's probably played

644
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 4: at at a higher level than anybody in that group.

645
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: And he's obviously a little younger than Flacco, So I

646
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 4: feel like there's maybe a little bit more upside there.

647
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: Like with Flacco, you know what you're getting, It's like

648
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 4: you're getting a glass of wine. It's a good glass

649
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: of wine. It's great. With Browning, you're not quite sure yet.

650
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 4: You're like, man, okay, maybe he can develop even more,

651
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: you know, maybe he can develop into you know what

652
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 4: case you know turned out to be for the Vikings

653
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 4: of twenty seventeen. Maybe that's a guy that teams are

654
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 4: gonna be looking at saying, hey, wait a second, our

655
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: quarterback situation isn't great. What about what about Jake Browning

656
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: giving him a shot? You know, Matt Flynn years ago

657
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: at the Seahawks, he got that, he got that money,

658
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 4: and then Russell obviously was on his way there as

659
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 4: a rookie and ended up taking that job. But I'm

660
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: gonna go Browning of all those because to your point,

661
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: Flacco is a finished product. I know what I'm gonna get. Minshew,

662
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 4: I never know what I'm gonna get, and I don't

663
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, I don't like that with brown and

664
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 4: I have a pretty good feel for what I'm gonna

665
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 4: get with him, and I like it. So I'm gonna

666
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: go Browning.

667
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: Man, I have this bad feeling. Shane Stiken is the

668
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 2: Minshew whisperer. Yes, he's getting all he can out of him.

669
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: He had him in Philly. They're playing well. I know

670
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: they're running the ball well, and that's a huge part

671
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: of what they're doing right now. I hate the horseshoe

672
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 2: like poison. And you know it's all gonna come down

673
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: to that Week eighteen game.

674
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: But we're not there yet.

675
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 4: We're still in Week sixteen.

676
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: Let's continue with who's better best place for Bill Belichick

677
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: among these options. Among these options the Raiders, assuming Antonio

678
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: Pierce is not back right Carolina, really, the Chargers or

679
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 2: the Commanders. You have those four, and Bill Belichick says

680
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: John Harris, where should I go with my future once

681
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm done with the Patriots and they make whatever deal

682
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: they can to spring me loose? And send me to

683
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: a new location to coach. What do you think automatically?

684
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 2: You think Chargers right, quarterback? He got the quarterback. We'll

685
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 2: start with the quarterback. But you have so much salary

686
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 2: cap clean up to go on.

687
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you've got four guys with a salary

688
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 4: cap hit of thirty two million dollars that aren't justin Herbert.

689
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 4: So that big cap Herbert number is coming, and so

690
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 4: you got to start cleaning up that roster. Now, what's

691
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 4: been the biggest issue up in New England? It's been well, offensively,

692
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick, as GM has not surrounded He's not put

693
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 4: great offensive pieces together. So what's he gonna put around Herbert?

694
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 4: Once he starts having to tear down not wanting to,

695
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 4: he has to. So the Charger sounds intriguing from that perspective,

696
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 4: But there's just too much terror. The Raiders aren't gonna

697
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: consider Belichick. I wouldn't imagine. I wouldn't imagine. I mean

698
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 4: they they went with with Josh and Zigler and did

699
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 4: the Patriot that I don't.

700
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: Think hes them.

701
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, So that leaves the commanders. And I've always

702
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 4: thought the commanders are really intriguing. I just don't know.

703
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 4: Are you in love with Sam Howell? If you are,

704
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 4: or that helps you because there's a rookie contract and

705
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 4: it's a fifth round rookie contract, so you still got

706
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: that for another year. The defense has got a lot

707
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 4: of pieces, but they had to get rid of a

708
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 4: couple of big, sweat and young. So the commanders to

709
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: me are the one where I feel like he'd get

710
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 4: everything he wanted.

711
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: They got some draft picks, they have a little draft picks.

712
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: They would allow him to be GM and head coach.

713
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 4: I would imagine, and maybe have you know a CONSTILARI

714
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 4: the in the you know, have a you know, a

715
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 4: Washington commander's version of Nick like you had up in

716
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: New England.

717
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: Would you do it? Though?

718
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 2: If you're Josh Harris, would you hire Bill Belichick? Because

719
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna point this out. I know he's the

720
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: greatest coach ever, whatever however you want to rank him

721
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: with Sula and the rest of them, Bill Walsh, the

722
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 2: rest of them, right, But with Bill Belichick, I'm looking

723
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: at a situation where he might bring in all his

724
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 2: people and look what that did in New England.

725
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot.

726
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: They can play great defense, they don't have a good offense.

727
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: Are they going to be able to produce a good

728
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 2: offense in Washington? Washington's been in some close games.

729
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 5: I don't know.

730
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: It's a real tough call to me, and it's not

731
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: an automatic because well, I'm building for the long term too,

732
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: and I don't know if he can turn this thing

733
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: around as quickly as he needs to before he's seventy

734
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: five eighty and then it has to be over.

735
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 4: Well, that's the flip part of your question. I mean,

736
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 4: that's the other side of it, and that is do

737
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: those teams want to have a seventy two year old

738
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 4: head coach? And I don't want to sound ages in

739
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 4: some sense, but you know, the Panthers David Tepper said, no, no, no,

740
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 4: we want a coach to be here for a while.

741
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 4: We want to grow with a younger coach and go

742
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: from there. Well, you go opposite what you had, you

743
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 4: had Frank Franks in his sixties, you go get a

744
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 4: younger coach and then that's the guy you build with

745
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 4: at that point. I don't know if David Temper knows

746
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 4: what he wants, but it illustrates the point, and that

747
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 4: is Belichick may not be the right fit for those

748
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: teams where bellichich Check might be a better fit is

749
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 4: where there's maybe more an established roster already, where he

750
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 4: doesn't have to bring in a bunch of players but

751
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 4: just get them, get them wise to his system. I

752
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 4: don't know where that is, though. I don't know where

753
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 4: that where that might be where he's gonna get the

754
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 4: power he wants. I would imagine I'm reading it to

755
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 4: that that once you have that power of picking all

756
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: the players and all of a sudden, you're gonna no, no,

757
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna just hire you to be the coach, that's it.

758
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 4: That's not gonna fly. So there's a lot that goes

759
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 4: into that. I'm that of anything is really intriguing this

760
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 4: offseason because I do think there will be a team

761
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 4: or two that will maybe maybe maybe make a move

762
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 4: with their coaching situation because they feel like they can

763
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 4: get Belichick.

764
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so interesting. The hot stove is gonna

765
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: be cooking in the NFL. I've got one more for you.

766
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: We only have a couple of minutes, so we could

767
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: do an entire show or series of shows on this.

768
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 2: But Nick Cassio comes to you and says, Johnny what's

769
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: our biggest position need in free agency.

770
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 4: Or the draft.

771
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: And this doesn't necessarily mean you would automatically spend your

772
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: first round draft choice on this position.

773
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: Let's say you needed old lineman.

774
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 2: You might think I need a lot of old lineman

775
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 2: or a lot of d lineman, or whatever the case

776
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 2: may be, whatever the position group is. But among these receiver,

777
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 2: running back O line, what's the biggest need going into

778
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 2: the off season?

779
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: Receiver running back O line.

780
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 4: That's a tough one, Hm, I was I had a

781
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 4: different position circled on the other side. Okay, go ahead,

782
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: I had a different one circled.

783
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: I mean you don't you have a lot of unanswered

784
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 2: questions because JG is going to be a free agenty

785
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: A franchise him side?

786
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: Or what do you do Dalton Schultz? What are you

787
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: gonna do with him?

788
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: Because if he's not back that becomes a huge need.

789
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 4: I want.

790
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into.

791
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 2: The off season too deeply here, but I get thrown

792
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: this question a lot this time of year, and even

793
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 2: if the Texans are in the playoff hunt, this is

794
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 2: something that Cassio own company are deaf thinking about.

795
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Right now.

796
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 4: Here's I would say almost the receiver, tight end kind

797
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 4: of hybrid, just a playmaker like you know, if you could,

798
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 4: if you could somehow get your hands on a guy

799
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 4: like Bowers from Georgia. You know, you're like Mike Evan,

800
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 4: I mean Brock Powers from Georgia. If you could get

801
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 4: your hands on him, a guy that could play tight end,

802
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 4: fucking flex out could end up doing you know, out

803
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 4: running routes, you know, like Dalton does. If you if

804
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 4: you know you don't bring back, I just think you

805
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 4: need one more really good offensive weapon that you can

806
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 4: team with Nico Tank. You know they're coming back for

807
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 4: sure after that, not totally sure what else you have.

808
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 4: You know, you got X and you got Metchiser draft picks,

809
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 4: but you don't know after that, you know, what about Noah?

810
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,479
Speaker 4: What about you know, Robert all that. I just feel

811
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: like you're gonna have to have a weapon of some

812
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 4: sort now. The first thing that came to mind was

813
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 4: running back, only because I've seen what Motor has been

814
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 4: able to do. Yeah, and I think Motor fits this system,

815
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 4: but I feel like you've got to have another guy

816
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: to go with him that fits the system as well,

817
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 4: or peels back a whole different layer of a different

818
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 4: onion that you bring in what you bring in another guy,

819
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 4: So anybody that I think on that side, I think receiver,

820
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 4: tight end, running back, kind of a guy that can

821
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 4: do a little bit of everything, carry the ball. I mean,

822
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 4: that would be really fun to put in this offense.

823
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 4: Could you find debo? Probably not, but could you find

824
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 4: something like that maybe?

825
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: So all right, we'll see coming up. Let's get to

826
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,799

Speaker 2: All right, Texans one final segment here. As you may

854
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: have heard, Case Keenan was on the Manning Cast Monday

855
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: Night Football earlier this week, and among other things, was

856
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 2: asked about quarterbacks CJ. Stroud and what kind of talent

857
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 2: He is.

858
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 5: An incredible talent man. You know, you saw it stepping

859
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 5: in Stay one during OKAS. I mean, he's young, but

860
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 5: he's very mature. And then when you just when you

861
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 5: turn on the lights, when you put on put on

862
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 5: the helmets and step on the field, he's got something.

863
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 5: He's got it. He's got whatever it says that man,

864
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 5: he can have incredible vision downfield and just we're never

865
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 5: out of any game, no matter what the time is left.

866
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 5: Scory is on the scoreboard. He's you know, he's given

867
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 5: us a chance to win. And the guys have set

868
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 5: off that defensively. The other guys on offense are our receivers,

869
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 5: tight ends, running backs, offensive line. It's been it's been

870
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 5: really special to watch him grow as a as a quarterback,

871
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 5: you know, and do some things that I've never seen

872
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 5: anybody else do on a football field. It's it's really

873
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 5: special to.

874
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: Watch and it is and we hope to watch it

875
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: soon enough, as Stroud is still in the concussion protocol.

876
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: Another day without practice on Thursday. All right, let's get

877
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 2: to this. It's Houston Methodist Minutes with holiday health tips.

878
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: Let's get to Alicia Roba show from Houston Methodist.

879
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 4: Doctor.

880
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: How's it going?

881
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 6: It is going great. We are excited to be here.

882
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: Well, hello, and here we are.

883
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: It's the holiday season, so much cheer, but not necessarily

884
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: for everybody. This is a big time of year for

885
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: holiday depression.

886
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: Things like that.

887
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: Mental health is the topic, doctor, and why is this

888
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 2: time of year so difficult for so many people.

889
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 6: You know, we are lucky to live in Houston, Texas,

890
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 6: where the sun shines most all the time, it's hot,

891
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 6: we barely have winter, but overall, winter is a big

892
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 6: time for people to be more depressed. It's more gray,

893
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 6: it's rainy, it's snow, and it just kind of brings

894
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 6: the spirits down a bit. So a lot of times

895
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 6: winter time is just when we stop exercising, we stop

896
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 6: reducing releasing those norapinephrine and hormones that help us with happiness.

897
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 6: So it's very common for people to feel more depressed,

898
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 6: more down. And that's not even including our finance stuff

899
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 6: and all of the pressures of the holidays. So it's

900
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 6: a tough time for a lot of people.

901
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: End of vereer pressure. That's a great point.

902
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 2: Also, what you just brought up about people stopping exercising,

903
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 2: Maybe people get out of their routines as they have

904
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: time off or whatever the case is. I would imagine

905
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: that's a big recommendation of yours. Keep working out or

906
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 2: start working out, because that really helps.

907
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 6: Absolutely a lot of people wait for New Years to

908
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 6: start these resolutions of exercise. Don't wait, start exercising now.

909
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 6: Gets started. There's nothing you're waiting for. You can start

910
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 6: these things in December. Start walking, start a video, start

911
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 6: younger or pilates, pick up golf, anything that we can do,

912
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 6: whether it's on a video or in a gym or

913
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 6: on your own or with a group. Finding someone that

914
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 6: can help keep you accountable is always encouraging, and that's

915
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 6: why group exercises usually work well because someone's waiting for

916
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 6: you to go work out, whether it's a team group

917
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 6: or a fitness class. But a lot of times starting

918
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 6: those exercises now and just starting to get thirty minutes

919
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 6: every day of increased movement of whatever your choice is

920
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 6: helps with happy hormones, It helps with sleep, it helps

921
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 6: with processing your digestion, and it definitely lightens the mood

922
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 6: when sometimes December and January can be very tough on us.

923
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that correct me if I'm wrong.

924
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: It's one thing to be alone. I'm always with people,

925
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: so when I'm alone, I'm actually happy about it. But

926
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: if you're often alone, being alone during the holidays can

927
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: be really tricky, and also be with the family could

928
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 2: be tricky to a lot of family issues come up.

929
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 6: Right, Sometimes being with the family is more stressful than

930
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 6: be without the family. So you know, pick your family,

931
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 6: pick where you are successful. If that friends friends can

932
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 6: be counted as family too. Send your quality time with

933
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 6: people that make you feel good. And if you do

934
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 6: need to spend time with family that just brings you down,

935
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 6: try and recognize that you can't fix those things. Try

936
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 6: and be that light, be that happiness for a few minutes,

937
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 6: and then move on and recognize, all right, this group

938
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 6: doesn't make me happy, but I'm going to go be

939
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 6: with people that do. And I think that's really important

940
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 6: to keep our mental health up. It can really drag

941
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 6: us down when we're around people who make us feel down.

942
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 6: But you don't have to stayed in that mood. You

943
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 6: can change that mood.
