1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Looking tu them all, timing for the pylon that he's

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: got it, Razzo Tazo, touchdown, Houstons and the Texans go

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: in front. Game day. He's every day. We had a

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of energy and we brought a lot of spark

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: for this organization. Five nights a week, they hits keep

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: on coming out. The Texans say they have it and

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: they do No. It's Texans All Excess, presented by First

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: Community Credit Union. Hello Texans, and welcome to the program.

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermer with you with John Harris and John McLean tonight.

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: Such a pleasure to have you board as the Texans

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: take on the Vikings on Sunday, trying to get out

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: of a three game losing streak to start the season.

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: John Harris is on, I believe the General is on

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: a is well, General, how's it going tonight? Oh, we

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: don't have them yet. We don't have them yet, but

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: we do have John Harris, Johnny, it's been at least

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: twenty four hours since we spoke. I think it's texted

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. But here we are to kickoff. Is

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: getting ever so close? Your thoughts on the events of

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: and as we get closer to the Vikings and the

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Texans chances of snap it out of this thing. You know, Mark,

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: It's so interesting to me, how when you look at

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: these teams. I wrote about it and I know your foe.

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: Both these teams or ten and six last year. They

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: both got wildcard round victories. Last year, both coaches started

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: with them at twenty fourteen. Both teams exited divisional round.

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Both teams are oh and three. Both teams faced three

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: opponents that are combined eight and one. I mean, it's

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: really really interesting to me how very similar from that

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: perspective these teams are. But the makeup of the teams

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: are much are much I say much different, but they're different.

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any any debating that, but just

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: their situation and circumstances are very very similar. And I'm curious,

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, because they talk. We talk about desperation a lot. Oh,

35
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: it's a desperation weekend and it is, yes, But I

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: think if you play like it, you'll be owing for

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: But if you walk in there and say we're gonna

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: execute the way we know how this is the game

39
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: plan on both sides of the ball, all three phases

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: of all three phases, and we're gonna out execute them.

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna play them. We're gonna play a little bit

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: of energy, and we got our fans behind us. Let's

43
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: roll that team that can do that. Obviously it's us

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: if we have fans behind us. But if we can

45
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: do that, we'll be fine. If we play like this

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: is desperation time, and then it's gonna be a long day.

47
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling when you play tight like that,

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: you just especially this team in this organization, When it's tight,

49
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: it's just not good. But when they're playing loose, they're

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: kind of feeling the rhythm of the music you're listening to.

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: This team is tough to stop, you know. It's it's

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: one of those es PN and FS one daily talk

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: show questions. But I'll throw it out there anyway. Which

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: team has more pressure on them? The Vikings that owen

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: three or the Texans that I went three? And by

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: the way, Brandon, our producers, is the general with us yet? Okay,

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: John McClain, let's welcome in, hit him in and get

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: him into this conversation. Good even at general. How's it going? Well,

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm late. I've been watching the A's in

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: a white Sox to see who's going to play the Astros.

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for the A's because I want the Astros

62
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: to be able to play against Mike Bryors, who was

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: knocked out in the first ending of this game, which

64
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: means they'll be well rested for the Astros. Okay, well, John,

65
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: let me throw you that cheesy question, but I think

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: it's worth asking on some levels which team has more

67
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: pressure on Sunday, Vikings or Texans because owen four, we

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: know that that's the Abyss. I mean, look, nothing's impossible,

69
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: but that's really improbable to come back of that Texans

70
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: because they're at home. I think if this game was

71
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: played in Minnesota, we'd be saying that about the Vikings,

72
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: but it's here. Both teams were ten and six last

73
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: year made the playoffs. Texans wanted game. Vikings that the

74
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: Vikings win a playoff game last year. Yeah, they beat

75
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: the Saints in New Orleans, so both of them want

76
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: to playoff game. Mike Zimmer and Bill O'Brien at both

77
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: in their seventh seasons, and and I think it's going

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: to be a good game. I predicted the Texans in

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: August to start oh and three and then be two

80
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: and three, and I thought Minnesota is going to be

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: real good. But I still think the Texans would beat them.

82
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: And of course we know they need to play better

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. But I thought it

84
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: was very encouraging what happened in the first half against

85
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Number one, it was against a great defense.

86
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: Number two, even though there weren't seventy thousand fans, it

87
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: was still on the road. You still have to travel,

88
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: and so I thought that was very encouraging. So if

89
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: they can do it a half at Pittsburgh and scored

90
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, here comes Minnesota ranked twenty sixth against the run.

91
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: If they were going to run again, it's got to

92
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: be against the Vikings. And I'm doing by the way,

93
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see. How often do you see

94
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: a franchise that has all of its coaches on the

95
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: field at the same time. I'm doing a story on

96
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: that for Sunday. I've talked to Cal McNair, who was

97
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: involved in the hiring of all three Bill Mike Zimmer.

98
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: Zimmer reminded me he was on the Cowboys staff that

99
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: lost that first game here in two thousand and two.

100
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: Kubiak and Capers were so good today. I mean, they

101
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: were just great talking about their memories of being here

102
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: in the Texans and the McNair's and so I'm going

103
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: to rank that tonight and I'm excited about it because

104
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: they're so fired up. So even though there's two oh

105
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: and three teams, there's a lot of interest for a

106
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: lot of reasons. John, if the Texans are to get

107
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: a win on Sunday, what one thing? One thing, just

108
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: one thing. You can change one thing and one thing only.

109
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: What is that one thing that has to change for

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Sunday to go to Texans a way? Oh? Can I

111
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: pick one thing on each side of the ball? Sure?

112
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah? I feel like Santa Claus tonight. Let's

113
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: do it, John. Offense, Defense, what do you gotta do?

114
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: The offense, I would say, you have to run better.

115
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: You have to run like they ran against Kansas City

116
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: when they average five point four yards to carry. Now, defensively,

117
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: you'd say, okay, stop the run to the worst in

118
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: the league. But Anthony Weaver, he's more worried about turnovers.

119
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: They've gone three consecutive games without a turnover for the

120
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: third time in history. If they do four, then let's

121
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: see that goes back to like I wrote all this

122
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: today and I forgot the numbers, and the worst start

123
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: would turnovers Dom Capers last year two thousand and five.

124
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: So I would say for us some turnovers because they

125
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 1: believe that they'll come in bunches, and they talked about

126
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: that with sacks. In the first game they had one

127
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: and then they had four in a second game, two

128
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: in the last game, so they have seven. So I

129
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: believe once they have a turnover, it'll must room. As

130
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: Anthony said today, he hopes it's an avalanche. So I'd

131
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: say running the ball and then forcing turnover, especially if

132
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: they shorten the field. Right now, the only team in

133
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: the NFL that doesn't have a turnover, and I think

134
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: that would make such a difference. And Kirk Cousins last

135
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: year through six interceptions, how many's he got through three games? Six?

136
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: John McLean joining us on Texans All Access general, what

137
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: about stopping the run other than getting a lead. I mean,

138
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: it would be great to be up a score or

139
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: two and be able to fire off on Kirk Cousins,

140
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: But tell us about getting a lead in this one

141
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: and help or stopping the run in general, I'd love

142
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: to get a lead, but stopping the run in general,

143
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: and how they're going to do it. You guys know,

144
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiac likes to have a good running game. It's

145
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: important to him, you know, the one cut and go.

146
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: And last year, even though he was over the offense,

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski called the plays. So I'm guessing, like Tim

148
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Kelly and Anthony Weaver, the offense had to adjust to

149
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Last in that thirty one thirty

150
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: lost to Tennessee, ran for two or twenty six yards.

151
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: They had big plays in that game, justin Jefferson seventy

152
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: I guess out and Dalvin Cook had a thirty nine

153
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. Kirk Cousins likes to throw it down

154
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: the field, which means the pass rushers might have a

155
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: better chance to get him. But I think that they're

156
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: gonna come in trying to run the ball. The Texans

157
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: have done better against the run until the fourth quarter

158
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: of the last two games. And as you mentioned, Mark, yeah,

159
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: I get a lead where they can't run, but if

160
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: he can't do that, try to do what you did

161
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: in the first three quarters. So Minnesota's running game is good,

162
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: and so they're gonna have to score more points. You know,

163
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: the Minnesota's defense is not good, and so Deshaun Watson,

164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: his receivers, David Johnson. It all starts up front. The

165
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: offensive line has got to play better. To me, it's

166
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: mystifying with all five starters back in the top two

167
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: tighty as that they had done a poor job of

168
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: blogging as they have, this would be a good breakout game. Yeah.

169
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: I hope that it definitely turns that way for Sharrett

170
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: John with this Texans Vikings game on Sunday. John playing

171
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings obviously happens every four years, and you go

172
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: up to Minnesota every eight years, and obviously they come

173
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: here at eight years. Did you ever go to a game,

174
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: a Vikings game or cover a game at old Metropolitan Stadium?

175
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Let's see. No, when I started, as I can't know,

176
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: I did not watched the lot, but the only place

177
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: I went was the Metrodome, and and I'm glad I

178
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: didn't have to go to Metropolitan Stadium. It was out

179
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: where the mall is now all of America, and watching

180
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: so many games through the through the years about how

181
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: cold it got up there, and boy, those were real

182
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: men that played at Metropolitan Stadium. I can tell you that, Yeah,

183
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: they definitely had. They definitely had the doors opened for

184
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: that one outside at Metropolitan Stadium. There's no question general

185
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: with the game on Sunday, the Texans will have a

186
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: smattering of fans about thirteen thousand, three hundred, which really

187
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: is about a really good high school football game in

188
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: the city of Houston, fully packed. But do you think

189
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: it matters because we've seen the fans at Kansas City.

190
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: We didn't see him the last two weeks in either

191
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: Houston or in Pittsburgh. But we will have just a

192
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: smattering of fans. Do you think that matters on Sunday

193
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: to just have your own fans in the building, to

194
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: have just some sort of always that you're accustomed to

195
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: as a player. Absolutely, it matters. And one of the

196
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,599
Speaker 1: reasons it matters, it's like when we're training camp in

197
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: normal circumstances and they have forty five hundred people, the

198
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: intensity levels turned up. The players admit that, you know

199
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: the fans are there, they want to make plays for them,

200
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: they want to do well. And so when we were

201
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and the players, the fans were spread

202
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: all over Railhead Stadium up and the far reaches in

203
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: the corner of the end zone, so they were spread out,

204
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: but I could hear them in an enclosed press box,

205
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: and so I'm I'm pretty confident that based on where

206
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: they are, John Shriver and Jamie Roots, I'm sure I've

207
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: done a great job about the spacing that make their

208
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: presence foul. Now, are they going to be able to

209
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: force the Vikings to go to a silent count? Of

210
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: course not, but I'll guarantee it means something to the players,

211
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: and I'm I think it'll be very cool that the

212
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: fans back John McLean joining us. John thoughts on the

213
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: postponement of the Titans and the Steelers makes it tougher

214
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: on both those teams to play thirteen weeks in a row.

215
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: We've seen teams undergo hardships in the past because of

216
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: natural disasters like hurricanes, this time because of COVID nineteen

217
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: tags that another player today, Christian Fulton, their rookie corner

218
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: go on the COVID list. And you know, you don't

219
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: have to disclose who your staffers aren't could be all

220
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: coaches for all we know. We don't know. And I

221
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: was asked today on one of the shows I did

222
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: about the bus driver driving the Astros who had driven

223
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers, not the Steelers, Titans and they and they

224
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: drove the Astros and how that could possibly affect the Astros.

225
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know what their protocols are. I don't

226
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: think they test every day. I don't know if they

227
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: stay six feet apart. They sure don't adhere to protocolls

228
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: when they're in the dugout because they're wearing masks around

229
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: their ears and on their neck and around their chin.

230
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: And obviously they don't have a commissioner with the baseballs

231
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: to find them like they do in football. And this

232
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: is a good example. What happened to the Titans could

233
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: happen to anybody. Baseball, football, basketball, Hockey's over. But I

234
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: feel bad for them, and I feel bad for the Steelers.

235
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: You know, It's like the teams that played the Marlins

236
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: early on, they couldn't play games, and one I'm had

237
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: to play seven consecutive doubleheaders. So I feel bad for

238
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: the Titans and the Steelers, and hopefully they'll get over

239
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: it and they won't need to do that again, because

240
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: what if it happens to the Titans five or six

241
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: weeks from now or the Steelers, then what do they do,

242
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm guessing they would make up the game on the

243
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: week off in the first round before they play. I

244
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: guess there's a there's an extra week in there. I

245
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I read that today. But if they have

246
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: to do it again, they're in trouble because you can

247
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: still gonna be able to play sixteen games. Well, I

248
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: heard that Raymond James Stadium is reserved for more than

249
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: just Super Bowl weekend, just in case. I mean, I

250
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: think they can put every mark, excuse me, every city,

251
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: including Houston. When you get a Super Bowl, you have

252
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: to save every Sunday in that way in that month.

253
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: So they've got the stadium available to the end of February.

254
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: And truthfully, it's not a baseball stadium. It's not any

255
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: they could use. They could move it back to March.

256
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: The NFL could play anywhere it wants, any month it wants,

257
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: because it's the eight hundred pound guerrilla that sets where

258
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: it wants. So they have contingencies for twelve, fourteen, sixteen games,

259
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: everything that you can possibly think about, and they hope

260
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: they don't have to do it. But we'd be naive

261
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: to think that the Titans are going to be the

262
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: only team general. I can't believe we've gone this far

263
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: into conversation and not ask you about Earl Thomas and

264
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: the the fact that it just doesn't seem like it's

265
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: going to happen. What's you're reading? How did this whole

266
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas situation go down? And you're in your estimation?

267
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: What you know, Bill O'Brien, because Eric Murray went out,

268
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: wanted to bring him in, give him a physical, talk

269
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: to him, find out what's he been doing. You know,

270
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: as Earld Thomas been seeing a therapist as he has,

271
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: he'd been in rehab, what's he been doing all this time?

272
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: Has he's been working out as he you know, he's

273
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: obviously not following NFL protocols. So they bring him in,

274
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: that gave him a physical, and uh, while they left

275
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: the door open a little for the future, they're never

276
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna close publicly. They're never gonna say we're not gonna

277
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: sign a guy ever, no matter who it is. But

278
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: I do not believe Earld Thomas will be signing here. Okay, well,

279
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: as far as the safety situation goes, your thoughts in

280
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: the secondary of the injury, they have Gary and Conley

281
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: not coming off. I are that kind of thing with

282
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: the corners and the safeties as you get ready for

283
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: Sunday's Viking passing attack to deal with a J. Moore

284
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: deserved the playing time he got because of the training camp.

285
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: Yet we saw him every day make a lot of plays.

286
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: And so now he's got a hamstring. He pulled up

287
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: and grabbed it, so you know that's bad. He's not

288
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: coming back anytime soon now. Lonnie Johnson. They've been moving

289
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Lonnie and having him go back and forth, and he

290
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: was learning safety in a virtual offseason program. I think

291
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: one of the reasons you see Philip Gaines along after

292
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: Vernon R. Grays and Bradley Roby's the third corners because

293
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Lonnie's playing safety, so it's not like their destitute. And

294
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: you'd think Lonnie Johnson, because he's in his second season,

295
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: he worked really hard in the off season mentally and

296
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: physically to make that big step that second year players

297
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: are supposed to make, especially under normal circumstances. And I

298
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: would think he's gonna make some mistakes, but he's gonna

299
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: makes some plays. So if you've got Justin Reed, and

300
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: Justin has said he's got to play better, and then

301
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: you got Murray, and Murray's made some plays and he's

302
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: given up some and then you've got Johnson. You could

303
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: be worse. The best thing the secondary does has done

304
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: is they're not giving up balls down the field. Only

305
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: two explosive past plays against Fitzburg's twenty plus one on

306
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: a blown assignment that was Jujus Smith Schuster's touchdown. Now,

307
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: if they could get some interceptions. A lot of that

308
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: is the pass rush. You know, they have seven sacks

309
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: and take away those sacks. They've only knocked down quarterbacks

310
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: five times three by what, so they got to hit

311
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback more. It'd be a good time to start it.

312
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: Because if you hit the quarterback more, as you guys know,

313
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: you've got a chance for strip sacks, got a better

314
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: chance for interception. And they know what they need to do.

315
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: We all know what they want to do. Now they've

316
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: just got to execute Anthony Weaver's plan as well was

317
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly's planning, and be more consistent on offense, score

318
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: more points. You know what's amazing about the defense, they're

319
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league in the red zone.

320
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: Last year they were the worst by thar and I

321
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: asked White about it. Yesterday, and he seemed surprised. He

322
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: didn't really have a good answer. You know, usually JJ

323
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: has a great answer. But their red zone defense has

324
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: been really good. Their red zone offense was six or

325
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: seventh last year. Now it's third. The problem is they've

326
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: only been in the red zone seven times, was six touchdowns,

327
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: So they got to get there more. I have been

328
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: preaching Linnie Johnson to safety for how long, Mark Vandimir

329
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: about eight years, it seems, so when he goes back there,

330
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I mean told y'all these days the

331
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: playing corner over, he's not playing corn anymore because Linne's

332
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna be one heck of a safety. I can tell

333
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: you that John Monday night, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs

334
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: going to Baltimore and put it on the Ravens. How

335
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: surprising was that to see the Chiefs do what they

336
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: did to Baltimore. I remember when Lonnie was in high school,

337
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: you were saying he's safety in the womb and in

338
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: junior and in junior college and in Kentucky. Uh, Baltimore

339
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: to win. I'm not surprised that the Chiefs one. I'm

340
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: surprised at the thoroughness of the victory, especially after they

341
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: had to go to Overtown to be the rookie quarterback

342
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert in LA. Maybe they were looking ahead of them,

343
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: obviously to the Ravens. So that's why I picked the Ravens.

344
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: They're they're the best team in football. Baltimore's second best

345
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: in the ANFC, Green Bay's the best in the NFC.

346
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: And I think it is amazing. And I know you

347
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: guys agree that that say back in June or May

348
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: that we could possibly envision things as being pulled off

349
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: in all the sports the way they've pulled them off,

350
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: under the circumstances at which they've had have had to exist.

351
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's a fun NFL season. They've cut way

352
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: back on the holding calls. Is a great story by

353
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Seaford on ESPN detail and how few penalties they've

354
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: caused calls scorings up and it's made it's exciting. You know,

355
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Packers averaging forty points a game and so it's an

356
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: exciting season and I know we're all pumped about it.

357
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: I think we should start holding more. Okay, general answer

358
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: this one for me. You've got the cults visiting the

359
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Give me some hope here that the boys

360
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: from the Windy City can get it done. Well, the

361
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: way they can get it done is it Nick Foles

362
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: is now the starter, and he's great coming off the bench.

363
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: This is a perfect situation for him, and I think

364
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: they are the paper mache three and oh but with

365
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: Foles in there, hopefully if you're an AFC South fan,

366
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: fault well like he did coming off the bench in

367
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: the last game. And that Indy, which has played great

368
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: defense but the schedules has been and well, beating Minnesota

369
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: at home that was nothing special, although at the time

370
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: I thought it was. We'll know more about both of

371
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: these teams after this game, Yeah, no doubt, John, What

372
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: do you think happens with dan Quinn? They blow another

373
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: lead to those Bears because Nick Foles comes in the game,

374
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you that what happens to dan Quinn?

375
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: What do you think happens to Mitchell Trubisky too? Well,

376
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: we knew when they've been pick up that fifth year option.

377
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: He was gone. He had to know it too, So

378
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: him playing is auditioning for the next job. But remember

379
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: last year falls started at Jacksonville, got hurt, came back over.

380
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: Menshew and then he got dnched for Menshew, a sixth

381
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: round rookie. So he did not play well in that role.

382
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll not play well in this role. He's never

383
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: been consistent. He won his Super Bowl with Philadelphia. He's

384
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: had one really good year as a starter, that was

385
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly, and so who knows what kind of

386
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: quarterback falls is going to be. Trubisky will be gone.

387
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm guessing he'll be like Mariota and Winston. He'll be

388
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: a backup for a cheap contract. And isn't that amazing

389
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: We think about that, those two quarterbacks number one and

390
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: number two and Trubisky number two, and Chicago and GM

391
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Pace will always be haunted by taking Trubisky, trading

392
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: up the spot to get him when he could ad

393
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and to Shaun Watson, that'll be on his affidad,

394
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: right where he's buried. That's what it's gonna say on there.

395
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: I passed up Mahomes and Watson. John the Jets host

396
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: of Broncos tonight, I can't believe Adam Case is having

397
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: this difficult time. And maybe that's a funny statement to some,

398
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: but when we were up there a couple of years ago,

399
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: the Jets team just felt like not that they were

400
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: on the rise big time, but that they were certainly

401
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: on their way to becoming more of an eight and

402
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: eight kind of caliber team. But they're not showing that

403
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: at all right now, getting blown out all over the place.

404
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: What about tonight the Jets and the Broncos. I think

405
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: last year there were one in six everybody said he

406
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: was gone and they finished what was see? They'n't make

407
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: it sixth, They won seven. They finished seven and nine.

408
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: That game on Saturday at Medlife Stadium. Sam Darnel looked

409
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: really good. I mean he looked real good. And now

410
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: he's regressed. And one reason is they don't have him

411
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: many weapons. You know, they paid all that money for

412
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Levion Bell. He's been a bus They let Robbie Anderson

413
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: get away. But the good news for the next coaches,

414
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: they're loaded with voices and theirs is going to be high.

415
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: If I was them, I wouldn't fire gays. But if

416
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: they do, Greg Williams will be their interim coach, as

417
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: he was in Cleveland. Did a good job for the Browns,

418
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: so that's good endorsement for this one. I'd keep gays

419
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: be extra bad get as high picked as possible and

420
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: then capitalize, whether it's Trevor Lawrence or something. And I

421
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: feel bad for Sam Darnell because we saw what he

422
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: was capable of doing that season. And these these Thursday

423
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: night games, it's like they've taken the worst teams they

424
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: could and they put the worst games out there. And

425
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: I can't it's their network, you know, it's the NFL network.

426
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: If the owners don't care, but my goodness, I'll be

427
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: watching baseball. It almost feels like with these games, what

428
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: they felt like was, look, before anybody knows that Dolphins

429
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: and Jags aren't that good, let's get them on Thursday night.

430
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: Before anybody knows the Broncos and Jets aren't that good,

431
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: Let's get them on Thursday night. Mark, Yeah, it is

432
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: to a degree, but unfortunately three games was too much

433
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: time for those two teams. The Broncos is more about injuries.

434
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: They've just been getting slammed slammed with injuries. But by

435
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: the way, General, you got your wish the A's beat

436
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: the White Sox, it'll be Astros and A's in the

437
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: next round of the playoffs in LA. So they're playing

438
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: the team that hates the most in the city that

439
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: hates them the most, and no Dodger fans are going

440
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: to be protests. They already did this Channel of Rome,

441
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: our baseball writer wrote about some of the things they

442
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: did when they went out there. I think that just

443
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: makes it that much better. By beating the Twins, at least,

444
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: it shows they still got it. Whether they advanced beyond

445
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: the A's, I don't know. But I want them to

446
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: play Oakland. I want to beat their number one tormentor

447
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: this year. And you know, the first Thursday night game

448
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: was Cincinnati Cleveland Burrow versus the Browns, who have a

449
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: big following, and then Miami Beach Jacksonville Fitz he plays

450
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: a great game. And then this when the night I

451
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: heard an add on the NFL radio saying, be sure

452
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: and watch brad Lee Chubb and the Broncos versus the Jets.

453
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, my goodness, you're promoting a pass rusher

454
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: who hasn't played worth the darn is coming off major

455
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: knee surgery. I don't know who else God that they

456
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: could promoh, but I would God b sure and watched

457
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:11,280

458
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: And watched Mark Mark Rippon's nephew on the NFL Network.

459
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right that you really don't have any

460
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: star power, but we'll see how it goes tonight. You know,

461

Speaker 1: I'll be watching General What do you have going out

462
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: on the chronicle. I'm working on that big story Sunday

463
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: about the three coaches being together under the same roof.

464
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: Everybody I talked to was great. Cal McNair was tremendous.

465
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: All the coaches. Word I tell you is Gary Kubiak

466
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: got choked up twice when I was talking to him

467
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: about the mcnairs and his relationship with Bob and how

468
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: they when they gave him a start to come home,

469
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: and you know every they've said, Bob, Bob said before

470
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: he died. Gary Kubiak is always welcomed in RG Stadium

471
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: anytime he wants. So I'm fired up about writing that.

Speaker 1: They come from from the land of the ice and

543

Speaker 1: the snow, and they're coming to try to send you know,

544
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: oh and four. Okay, that song gets me fired up.

545
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: And you know, Johnny, when they played when we were

546
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: up there and they blare that that is pretty strong stuff.

547
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: I gotta say that, you know, I'm a Zeppelin guy,

548
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: so I was like, this is pretty good right here,

549
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to beat them so badly. But

550
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: it didn't happen last night and that night, in fact, Johnny,

551
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: or that day. Rather, I wrote a piece on the

552
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: three coaches. But it was not about you know how

553
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: great it was, because I will write that piece and

554
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: it's coming out tomorrow. In vander Meer's view, I know

555
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: McLean's doing his thing, but I have my own thoughts

556
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: on the three guys who I you know, they're all different,

557
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: and I have great things to say about all three

558
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: of them. But I said this. You know, we've never

559
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: beaten the Vikings, and unfortunately all three guys have had

560
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: a hand in it. You know, that's just that's just

561
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: the truth. And I think I wrote it that way.

562
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh but it's true. It's true. And you know dom

563
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: Dom's team came the closest. They lost in overtime at

564
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: oh four, and that was a hell of the game.

565
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Dante Colepepper, Randy Moss, Yeah, they were going

566
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: crazy and David Carr through a career high three hundred

567
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: and seventy two yards. I mean, that's that's what it was.

568
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson had that helicopter catch that And here's the thing.

569
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: That year, you felt something was changing. Like they they

570
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: started two and two, they beat the Chiefs, Uh, they

571
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: came back and beat the Raiders. Jonathan Wells had a

572
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: good game and then they played the Vikings and lost

573
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: an O team. We're like, but then they won the

574
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: next two. They beat the Titans up there and they

575
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: beat the Jags here. So that was a five games

576
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: stretch where they won four or five and the one

577
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: loss was an overtime loss to a pretty good Vikings team. Uh,

578
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: and so Dom had that closest game. But then you go,

579
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: oh eight, not a good game with Kubiak and sh

580
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: Sage Rosenfeld's quarterbacking and they were just kind of overwhelmed

581
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: the right. Yeah, up there two thousand and twelve was

582
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: the one where you could have finished with home field

583
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: advantage throughout at the end of the year. Week sixteen

584
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: you lost a Sam Pandre's husband. Yes, and then obviously

585
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: we know what happened in sixteen was brock gos Wilder

586
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: up there. And you know, look, twenty twelve, best record ever,

587
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: twenty and sixteen division champion, nine and seven. You want

588
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: a playoff game, but the Vikings have always gotten over you.

589
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: Now it's not a big body of work, it's four games.

590
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: But you know, at the same time, the flip side

591
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: of that record, the b side is that you've never

592
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: lost to the Bears. You know. So it's like I

593
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: don't want that something's got to give to happen. I

594
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 1: want this something's got to give to happen on Sunday.

595
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I know exactly what

596
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: you're saying. It's so funny. We talked about you and

597
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: I talked about this forever and we will definitely do it.

598
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: Do it this offseason. We will come up with our

599
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: list of games with names. Because I thought about this

600
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: the other day when I was actually I was writing

601
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: about Arian Foster for something. I can't remember what it was,

602
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: but I was writing. I was mentioning hit the two

603
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: thousand and ten game against the Colts, and it's like,

604
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: if you talk to somebody to say, two thousand and

605
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: ten Colts game, what do you remember, Oh, the Arian

606
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: Foster game. Like that's immediately what you say. And when

607
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: you said twenty twelve, that loss, so you could have

608
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: had home field advantage throughout the playoffs, and you're like

609
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: that loss of the Vikings and immediately said Christian Ponder,

610
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: there's like a name that goes with it. I mean,

611
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: just like I say, twenty fifteen Thursday night lost to

612
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: the Colts. You tell me that is which game? Wait,

613
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, twenty fifteen Thursday Night back in a diaper exactly.

614
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: So that's how games just you know, that's how they

615
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: end up being being remembered. Twenty sixteen night lost as

616
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: to the Colts, by the way, I mean up there,

617
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: that's that's the one name. Yeah, I mean the JJ

618
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: penalty game, the JJ penalty game, that's the one in Yeah,

619
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: it was terrible, so terrible, twenty four nothing run just

620
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: start the game of the Colts Thursday night. That's why

621
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: last year's Thursday Night er with the Colts, you know,

622
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: you were coming off the blowout Laws to the Ravens,

623
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: like you gotta get this, you gotta get this, you

624
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: got it. So that at the time was a big win.

625
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: But boy, that feels like a long time ago. Johnny.

626
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: Here you are at oh and three, and you know,

627
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: we talk about must wins, not a must win. We

628
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: don't really talk about it much, but other people do.

629
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: But I'm feeling the pressure for this one because look,

630
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: oh and four and oh eight, and you know, I

631
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: could talk about that season all day long too. That

632
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: was the Hurricane Ike year. And then they reversed it.

633
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, they they were at three and seven. Then

634
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: they went on a four game winning streak and it

635
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: was like, okay, you're seven and seven, you got the

636
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: Raiders and you have wait, who was last that year

637
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: the Bears. Um, you have the Raiders and the Bears

638
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: to close out. And the Raiders were bad, Joe Arcus

639
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: Rush Marcus Rush said, but they had all speed at

640
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: wide receipro and they beat you. It was like, oh

641
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, no, Jakobe Ford. Wasn't he Jacobe Ford the Speedster? Yeah? Yeah,

642
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: oh gosh, I remember that game. So I remember David

643
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: Anderson came back from that game and we were really

644
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: starting to kind of get to know DA at that time,

645
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: and every time he had been on radio with us

646
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: prior to that, he was fantastic. And I remember him

647
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: coming on the radio that day and he was just furious.

648
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just so mad that they had

649
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: lost to JaMarcus Russell and Oakland, like a potential winning

650
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: season on the line and they lose to that guy,

651
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: and it just it wasn't like though they lost to

652
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders. It was like, no, they lost to that

653
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: guy that day. Um, JaMarcus Russell getting it dumb, But

654
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, that was that a team, I mean, But

655
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: then turned around the final week and beat the Bears

656
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, yeah, that was that was Actually I

657
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: don't want to say it was a big win, but

658
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: it was important not to go seven to nine after

659
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: he just went eight and eight for the first time

660
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: the year before, and I remember Kubiak said he told

661
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: the team like, we cannot take a step back, I mean,

662
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: will the best we could do is go even money

663
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: from last year. Let's go even money. And they did

664
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: and they had a winning season the next year. But

665
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: the next year there's JaMarcus Russell again, and this time

666
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: you need him to pull through against a so so

667
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: Ravens team last gave of the regular season, and he

668
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: can't do it. It was actually a pretty good Ravens

669
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: team last game of the regular season. He can't do it.

670
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: If he does it, you're in the playoffs for the

671
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: first time. Don't get me started. Johnny will Fuller shows

672
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: up at the injury report today, thoughts. I mean, I

673
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: saw that. And when the injury report comes out. What

674
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: happens the way at least our staff does it is

675
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: when the injury report comes out that we see there's

676
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: a name. When the name changes, or a name pops

677
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: up the first time or changes category, it gets bolded.

678
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: So it comes in. I see it and I'm like,

679
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: all right, I braced myself because you just never know.

680
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: You just never know. So I braced myself, and I

681
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: can tell that there are some just looking at the

682
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: little tiny thing on my phone, I could tell there

683
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: are some bolded names, and I'm like, oh no. And

684
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: as soon as I use the you know, you use

685
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: a little pincher, you know, fingers to kind of open

686
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: it up wider, and I just see it and I'm like, dad,

687
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: gum it. I hope, I hope that's just all right.

688
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: You know, he had a little tweaks. We had to

689
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: put him out a little bit. I don't know, but

690
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: he just makes you know. It's interesting because I Tuesday night, Mark,

691
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: I did replay and I'm trying to figure out, all right,

692
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: you know, Steelers game wasn't great, but you know, there's

693
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: some stuff there I can live with, but I can't

694
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: carry that two segments. So I'm like, all right, well

695
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: what do I do? And I was like, hey, let

696
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: me look back at will Fuller's big games, big plays,

697
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: et cetera. Mark I couldn't fit at all into a segment,

698
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: and I started thinking about, like what he's done for

699
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: this team when he's been healthy, and it's just you know,

700
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm experiencing it like you, like the fans in

701
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: this town. It's like, man, we love that guy, We

702
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: love what he can do. If he could just get

703
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: on the field one hundred percent of the time and

704
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: he teared this league up. He tear per game, if

705
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: you go per game averages and all that, I mean,

706
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: it would be ridiculous. You'd be looking at one of

707
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: the very best, you know, top five wide receiver in

708
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's no question, there's no question. I mean,

709
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: he when he's healthy, and he's played some games where

710
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: he's kind of banged up and not as good as

711
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: he normally would be. Like I think the Ravens game

712
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: might fit into that category this year, but you know

713
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: the Steeler game, this opening game with the Kansas City

714
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs when he went for over a hundred. All right,

715
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: so he's got a hamstring. Other changes on that injury report,

716
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: Let's see Charles Amna, who is upgraded so like he

717
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: was a DNP. Did not participate yesterday, so he limited today.

718
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: That's good. That's, as Bill O'Brien would say, trending in

719
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: the right direction. That's what we want to see. Lonnie

720
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: Johnson shows up. He was not on yesterday's and this

721
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: is the only time where someone is sick or as

722
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: an illness where he might say, oh good, because it's

723
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: not like a knee or something or a hamstring out

724
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: at illness. I don't mean to make light of it.

725
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: I hope. I don't know what Lonnie's got. You know

726
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: it's not COVID, because otherwise you know you'd know about that.

727
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: But let's just pray that Lonnie's okay, it's not a

728
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: serious thing, and that he can get to the starting

729
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: line on Sunday and get well soon. A bit of

730
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: good news here. A lot of good news I think

731
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: is Duke Johnson full participation with the ankle Injuria. But

732
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: that's huge, Johnny, to have him in there in that

733
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: one two punch you want to create with David Johnson.

734
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: That's gonna be nice to see. I don't want to

735
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: take away anything from CJ. Prosie because I think if

736
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: if CJ had been here from the beginning of the

737
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: year and knew the offense, I think they probably would

738
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: try and utilize him. I think Tim would try and

739
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: utilize him a little bit more at the offense. So I

740
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to take away from CJ. And I

741
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: don't want to make Duke Johnson seem like he's the

742
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: Rubric's q P steak. It needs to get turned to

743
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: fill out the you know, the colored side, or to

744
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: finish the cube. But he's really important to this team,

745
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: really important, Mark, I thought, you know, we you and

746
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: I texted, and then I talked about this on radio

747
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: at some point, talking about the drive starters for the

748
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: Tech Sense and how how bad they've been, well, how

749
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: bad they were against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, they

750
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: had negative and ten drives. They had negative yardage on

751
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: ten drive start plays. And it's just, man, you can't

752
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: live like that. And I thought back to the playoff game.

753
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: I thought back to the Bills game and in the

754
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: second half, two drives one they think that didn't didn't

755
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: start to end up in points, the next one that

756
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: did end up in points after it became sixteen to nothing.

757
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: Both of them started with Duke Johnson ten yard runs.

758
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean, think about a drive starter the other day

759
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh that starts off with a ten yard run.

760
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what that turns into at that

761
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: particular moment, But I sure as heck know what happens

762
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: if the drive starter is a minus five yard sack

763
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: or a minus eleven yard sack. I know that not

764
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: good at all. And I mean, even ghost up further,

765
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 1: there were two drive starters that started with eight yards

766
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: five yards, and both of them ended up going down

767
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: I believe for touchdowns. Eight yarder was a toss from

768
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: DeShawn to Cooks. That was the that was on the

769
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: two minute drive right for the half, and then the

770
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: five yarder was the Shaun on a scramble. Even just

771
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: picking up five yards on a scramble. I mean, I

772
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: don't love seeing DeShawn scramble, but just getting five yards

773
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: as a drive starter, I mean they end up going

774
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: putting points on the board, you know, But when they

775
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: don't get anything or they get negative yard is it's

776
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna go three and out. I mean it's just

777
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: kind of the way. It's the way it's been the

778
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: last few weeks, especially especially against Pittsburgh. And it became

779
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,959
Speaker 1: even that much more evident when in the second half

780
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: the offense is not on the field at all, and

781
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: the defense is just having to be out there for

782
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: the entire game. So the drive start is so incredibly important.

783
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: And Duke is a guy that I think can give

784
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: you some juice on that drive starter play to get

785
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: your role in no question. I mean, look, this is

786
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: he is a he's a pro. You know, sometimes we

787
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: use that cliche way too much, but he is. He's

788
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: a professional running back who can catch the ball out

789
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Well, he knows the pass. Pro. He'll

790
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: help your football team. He'll give David Johnson a bit

791
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: of a blow again. One two punch there, Johnny, thanks

792

857
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: coaches in the building on Sunday at the same time,

858
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: the three head coaches of Texans history and my favorite

859
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: under the radar wins of each coach, because you know,

860
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: when you talk about Capers, you always talking about Opening Night,

861
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: and you might mention that Steeler game. And we talked

862
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: about that plenty before the Texans played the Steelers, about

863
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: the three defensive scores that won it later that year,

864
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: or I mentioned it many times about beating the Dolphins

865
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: game one of year two when Miami was unbeatable at

866
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: home in September. I'm just telling you, they had at

867
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: the time an unbelievable record at home in September, and

868
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: you beat him on Opening Day on Andrey Johnson's debut.

869
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: That might be my favorite under the radar, But I'm

870
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna gave you another one, which is in oh four

871
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: when they beat the Titans for the first time and

872
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: it was up there, and it was Steve McNair and

873
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: all those guys the Titans had that were so good

874
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: and just being able to beat that for the first

875
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: time in year three of franchise history up there was

876
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: such a special day and the coaches knew that whole

877
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: staff knew what that meant. And look, it didn't end

878
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: up the way they wanted it too. They went seven

879
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: to nine, which at the time was the best record

880
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: they ever had, but that wasn't under the radar win

881
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: for Kubiak. It would be it's a two game swing. Actually,

882
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: And I gotta say this because they're five and seven

883
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: and two thousand and seven, and they acquired match Shop

884
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: in the offseason and he's all dinged up and he

885
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 1: looks pretty good when he's in there, but they can't

886
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: keep him healthy. And Sage Rosenfels, who you know I

887
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: loved as a backup quarterback here starts on a Sunday

888
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay late in the season, and you know,

889
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: they're trying to get their sixth win, and they get

890
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: it with Darius Walker at running back. They scoring the

891
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 1: opening drive. I mean, it's just a kind of vintage

892
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: Kubiak drive. And then a few days they win that game.

893
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: A few days later they're playing the Denver Broncos, Kubiak's

894
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: former employer, and that was it. Man Mario Williams goes nuts,

895
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: three sacks, Sage again plays they run the ball well.

896
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: They went on a Thursday in prime time, they got

897
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: off seven and seven that late in the season for

898
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: the first time ever, being five hundred. That deep end

899
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: of the season was a you know, I can't say

900
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: huge accomplishment, but it was a step for them because

901
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: they had never done that before. And they ended up

902
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: finishing five hundred and the Bill O'Brien under the radar

903
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: win would be twenty sixteen to me when they beat

904
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: the Colts for the second time up there, because I mean,

905
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: this was a very tricky situation. They had lost three

906
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: games in a row with Oswaller, okay, the Packers, the Raiders,

907
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Actually the Chargers were in the middle of

908
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: all that, and that was a really dicey situation. That

909
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: thing could have gone downhill way further than it did. Okay,

910
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: So there they were in desperate need of a win

911
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: at Indy. Can you do it again? Can you really

912
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: beat the Colts again at their place? This time with

913
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: Andrew luck Well, they got two picks off the quarterback

914
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: Frank Gore held the forty one yards Lamar Miller runs

915
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: for one oh seven. Brock doesn't do a whole lot

916
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: in that game, but it didn't matter. Clowney had a

917
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: huge strip and Whitney recovered and to me that was

918
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: a big win at the time. I mean, they were

919
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: able to win the division off of that. They made

920
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback change in the next week when they played

921
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: the Jags. But that was my Bill O'Brien under the

922
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: radar win. And they all have this in common which

923
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: drives everybody crazy. I get it, and it's not really

924
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: a nice thing to say, necessarily, but I think it

925
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: is in a way because you know, they all three

926
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: have said it's on me when they lose, right or

927
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: when they're going through tough times. This is understandable, folks.

928
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: A head coach, a leader puts it on him or

929
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: herself no matter what the situation is. The cream floats

930
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: to the top. Now that's the wrong expression to use

931
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: in this case. You know, the buck stops here, that

932
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: kind of thing. You are at the top. You know,

933
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: if somebody beneath you, below you, in the in the hierarchy,

934
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: makes a mistake or doesn't perform up to snuff, you

935
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: got to take responsibility. And that's what they all three do.

936
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: And they're all terrific men. And this franchise has been

937
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: blessed to have them all and they'll all be in

938
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: the building on Sunday. Okay, let's get to Houston Methodist

939
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 1: Minutes Breast Cancer Awareness Month and doctor Charles Geyer joins us.

940
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: And this is interesting because the technology is always changing,

941
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: evolving and detecting and treating breast cancer, so it's very

942
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: important to stay on top of it. Here's Charles Geyer well.

943
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: I think Mark women for the most part are very

944
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 1: aware of breast cancer, of course, because many have seen

945
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 1: the devastating effects of advanced disease in loved ones and friends,

946
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: so they rightly fear advanced disease. However, through early detection

947
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: by screening and by prompt evaluation of changes of woman

948
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: notices inner breast, the cancer can be discovered at a

949
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 1: much earlier and far more easily managed point in its course.

950
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: We now have very effective, more personalized therapies that can

951
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: be applied with a high degree of efficacy now in

952
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: breast cancer. In a sense, to me, the thing to

953
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: be feared is undiagnosed and untreated breast cancer. So we

954
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: really encourage women to be aware of their potential risks

955
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: for breast cancer, to come in and learn about early detection,

956
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: to undergo screening. Hopefully the studies will have always have

957
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: good news then they say don't see anything, see you

958
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: next year. But in cases where the studies do what

959
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: they want to. We want them to do and find

960
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: an early cancer. We get it at that point where

961
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of options for treatment, and we can

962
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: really select therapies that are highly effective but les toxic

963
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: and less difficult for women. So there's just a lot.

964
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: I think very we're at a very encouraging, exciting time

965
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: in breast cancer treatment and management. That's doctor Charles Geyer

969
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: we discuss on Houston Methodist Minutes. All right, well, we've

970
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: got a big one on Sunday, folks. I mean, this

971
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 1: is it. It's noon kick Vikings coming in. I don't

972
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: know how the lack of practice is going to affect them.

973
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: I've been talking with some people up there, but not

974
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: the coaches to you know, I'm not bothering Dom Kapers

975
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: and Gary Kubiak this week. They've got their hands full.

976
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: But this is not an unusual situation to be cut

977
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: a day of practice when you consider what a team

978
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: goes through in a Thursday night game or a Sunday

979
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,479
Speaker 1: game following a Monday game, particularly with long travel. These

980
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: things happen, and we're deep enough into it now where

981
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: it shouldn't affect them that much. They should be good

982
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: to go for a kickoff at noon. You're gonna get

983
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: the best effort the Vikings can muster. Nobody wants to

984
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: be owing four. It's a disaster to be owing four

985
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: football wise. Okay, I know there's bigger stuff going out

986
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: of the world right now. I'm talking in football context,

987
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: but owing three you can come out of it. You know,

988
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 1: you win this one. Next week you get the Jags,

989
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: then you get the Titans up there. Let's just see

990
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: how it goes. The most important thing is winning. Sunday.

991
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,520
