1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, welcome to the program, big Thursday night edition

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: of the show, as we have Thursday Night Football on

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: six ' ten tonight, and we'll love the General John

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: McClain coming up in about twenty five thirty minutes. But first,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: the running backs coach and assisted head coach of your

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, Johnny Harris, and I visit with Danny Barrett

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: in studio. He's been around a long time. Coached in

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: the CFL, played in the CFL, played at Cincinnati, coached

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a while.

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: Let's get to him.

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: He's coached for four different head coaches here in Houston.

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: It's Danny Barrett, coach. How's it going. Great to see you.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: Oh, it's going great. Thanks for having me. Got mad

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 3: at a heat a little bit earlier, so yeah, all right,

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: very nice.

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So your group right now a lot of challenges

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: so far because of injury, but people seem to be responding.

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: We brought this up with coach Ryan's there you are

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: late in the game inside thirty seconds, gotta have it moment.

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Austini formation, Daria Gounbowali and British Brooks just like you

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: wrote it up in training camp.

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: Just like a training camp. He couldn't be better than that,

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: you know, and they responded. That's the key is that

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: when the number was called, they responded, you know, got

25
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: what we needed to, you know, to close out the game.

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 4: Just like in baseball, walk off with dire Yeah, walk

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: up with Darra. So let's talk about Dariy coach. He

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: seems like the guy that'll do anything. If you ask

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 4: to play fullback, you do that. He asked to catch passes,

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: you do that, pass protect.

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 5: You do that.

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: He's the guy you've been around probably the longest that

33
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 4: you've been here. What is it about Darry that has

34
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: made him so invaluable to this team?

35
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: I just think his ability to compete, you know, he

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 3: comes to work every day. You know, he's a consummate

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: pro type of guy you always want to have in

38
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: your room, not even from a player standpoint for me,

39
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: but also helping out the other guys as well. Because

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: he's been around the system the longest. He can help

41
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: out guys like Joe coming in, Cam coming in. They

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: probably asked Darry more question than they asked me, because

43
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: he knows what's going on.

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: Oh the interesting British Brooks.

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm going out of order here, but he will in

46
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: that I formation with Dara. How's he doing, coach as

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: an undrafted guy really assimilating?

48
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: Well, he's doing great. You know, the fact that he

49
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: was able to come in undrafted. Not a lot of

50
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: you know, fanfare about him, but you know he's a workaholic,

51
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: sharp kid. Again, just like Darray, whatever is asked for

52
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: him to do, he'll try his best to get it done.

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: Cause you know, we haven't had a chance to see

54
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: a lot of Joe. You've gotten to see probably more

55
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: of Joe than anybody. What is he brought to this

56
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: offense and what he's brought to this team?

57
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: I think just at overall mental toughness, you know, physical toughness,

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: his ability to you know, to make plays tough situations

59
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, running the football, catching the football, and looking

60
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: forward to you know, getting him back, hopefully sooner than later.

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Damien had some action against the Colts and

62
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: look pretty good. I imagine you're just chopping up a

63
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: bit to see more of Damian as he gets better

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: from his injury.

65
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, both of those guys, to be honest,

66
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: But you know, at the end of the day, you know,

67
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: he's coming along quite well. He's a lot more comfortable

68
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: this year, second year in the offense than he was

69
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: last year. And you could the difference that the confidence

70
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: that he's had right now.

71
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 5: Coach, a lot of people may not know about JJ Taylor.

72
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: We've seen in the last few weeks, and he's the

73
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 4: guy that came here a couple of last year, I think,

74
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: and started working with him, and you've had a chance

75
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 4: to work with him. What is it about Jj that's

76
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: gotten him to run on the field well?

77
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: Again, his ability to make plays. You know, he's a

78
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: smaller guy, but again hard to bring down, good contact balance,

79
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: good hands, great short area quickness. And he also brings

80
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: value to the return game as well. So hopefully we

81
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: can get him going a few more touches as well,

82
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 3: because he has the ability to create.

83
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: His own yards.

84
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: As we say, it feels like you have a lot

85
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: of diversity of skills in your room. Cam Akers is

86
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: different from Damian, who's different from mixing and Daray does

87
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: different things and it's good to have that kind of mix, right, Coach.

88
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 6: Exactly right.

89
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: You know when one guy goes on the field, you

90
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: know it's not like, hey, they're doing this or doing that.

91
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: You know, they have to prepare for five different guys,

92
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 3: five different styles. But at the end of the day,

93
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: you know, all we want to do is just get

94
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: the job done, whether it be running, catching, or in

95
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: the quarterback coach, how do you.

96
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: Handle that mix?

97
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: Then?

98
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: Because Indianapolis, Joe's got the hot hand. Joe gets thirty touches.

99
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: The other day, Dari's kind of got a little bit

100
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: of the hot hand. How do you kind of handle

101
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: that which back is going to go in and kind

102
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: of fuel that out?

103
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: Who's got the hot hand at the time, Well, I

104
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: think you already hit it on the head, you know what.

105
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: The guys is running and seeing it. He really is

106
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: seeing it, yeah, you know, and making it happen and

107
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: having the ability to make his own yards.

108
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 5: Joe was like that the first game. You know, he

109
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: was on fire.

110
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: You cannot you know, you take him off the fieldless

111
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: he needs a blow. And the other day we just

112
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: felt like Dari was in a groove. You know, you

113
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: saw the two third down plays that he made. You know,

114
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: that's just pure desire, effort ability to make something happen.

115
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: You know, he was feeling it. So at the end

116
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: of the game, Hey, go out there and make it happen.

117
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: But the other guy's was ready as well.

118
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: Running backs coach Danny Barrett with us, who is also

119
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: the assistant head coach. What does it mean to you,

120
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: coach to be the assistant head coach of the squad?

121
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 3: Well, again, you know being here in my seventh season now,

122
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: you know, and when coach Ryan you know, asked me

123
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: about that opportunity, I was happy about it. And again

124
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: just an emergency situation. Really, you know, something happens to

125
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: coach you know, which we hope doesn't because he does

126
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: a great job. Then now you know, with my experience

127
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 3: over the years being a former head coach, you step

128
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: up to the play you know, next man up mentality.

129
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: So whenever that presents itself, if ever, I just have

130
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: to be ready.

131
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: Like you're running back, you gotta be ready to coach.

132
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: This week, it's the Buffalo Bills. What's the challenge going

133
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: against that? Good defense?

134
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: Well again, good football team, you know, don't beat themselves.

135
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: So we got to make sure we just come out

136
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: play our style of football, rep our style which we

137
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: call it, and not do anything other than what we do.

138
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: Just play good solid textan football, take care of the ball,

139
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: take it away and we get a chance to score points.

140
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: We got to put points on the board.

141
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: You've coached for a number of years, number of different places.

142
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned it, Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach and an outstanding

143
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: player in the CFL. You set a completions record of

144
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: the Great Cup. So that's amazing stuff. And we were

145
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: asking Darry about it. He knows about it. Your guys

146
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: know what you've done in professional football.

147
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: Well again, I think they're all students of the game

148
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: as well, you know. And I always you know, the

149
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: first day we meet, we talk about my style of coaching.

150
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: You know, I always tell them I come from a

151
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: quarterbacks perspective. We're going to make sure mentally we're ready

152
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: to go, because physically you wouldn't be here. Can we

153
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: get the mental stuff down not to beat ourselves? And

154
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: I think they go back and say, wow, you know

155
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: that that means something to them that we eliminate mental mistakes.

156
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 6: All right.

157
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: So Johnny andre Ware and I have a little text

158
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: thread going and around early July we start watching CFL's

159
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: games and we're watching the action. Do you still watch

160
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: some CFL with all your history north of the Border,

161
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I do.

162
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: When I get a chance to during the summer, you know,

163
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: when I'm on vacation. I actually went to Calgary with

164
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: my wife, she's from Calgary, went to Vancouver. We saw

165
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: a game in Calgary, had a chance to beat the

166
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: drum pregame today. They wanted to try to get the

167
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: crowd going, so you know, it was fun.

168
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 5: But I do. I followed the game.

169
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: You know, I got my start really playing and coaching

170
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: in the CFL. It'll always be a second home for me,

171
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: no matter what.

172
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 4: The guys ever break out the old tapesever five video.

173
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: Of pop it up there on the screen. No, they

174
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 5: don't even have tape anymore.

175
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: That's the thing I heard the night on a broadcast

176
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: talking about tape. He says he got to get that

177
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: out of his vocabulary. Nobody watches tape, got tape anymore.

178
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: I know that you and andre Ware do play some

179
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Dominoes online, so you can settle this for us. You

180
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: can settle it who's a better Domino's player.

181
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: I will not tell a lie.

182
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: We both were pretty good, okay, very diplomatics.

183
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: He was probably listening I don't want to, you know,

184
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: trying to take a take advantage of it.

185
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll hear from him if he well, here's got

186
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: the mics last. You're a very smart coach. He's got

187
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: the microphone last. But you guys go back aways, right.

188
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 6: We do?

189
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: We do?

190
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 7: We?

191
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 6: Uh?

192
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: Her first had the opportunity to meet in Ottawa in

193
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five. As a matter of fact, I remember,

194
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: like yesterday, I was injured.

195
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: That year.

196
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: Andre came in, you know, during the time I was

197
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: injured and actually took old over and so I was

198
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: really at that time probably you know, in my twelfth year,

199
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: so a lot of experience and it was new for him.

200
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: So I really became a friend and also just helped

201
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: teaching him to see fl game. And since then, you know,

202
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: we've always sayd in communication coach.

203
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: I know, it's twelve guys and one side eleven or

204
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: the other, but it feels like when you're watching it,

205
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: it's a completely different animal.

206
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: Is it really that?

207
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: It is? That it's three down football. There's no waist downs,

208
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: So you have to learn how to take care of football.

209
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: You have to learn how to be productive on first

210
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: downs because you got three downs to get you know,

211
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: a first down, so you know, from that aspect and

212
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 3: all the unlimited movement. The kicking game is really the

213
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: toughest part for anybody to adjust. My first year up

214
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: there was second down, incomplete pass and why these guys

215
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: running on the field. I got a coach out of

216
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: the field. So it took me a while for the adjustments.

217
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: But once you get the hang of the game, it

218
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: is a lot of fun, a lot of excitement.

219
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: One more for you, coach, it's the reppin h Town

220
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: game Sunday when the Bills come calling.

221
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: So what is huge? Didn't mean to you? What does

222
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: it meant to you over the years you've been here.

223
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: Well, you know it's been great.

224
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: You know, I've come in when we were you know,

225
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: riding high, you know, I would say, and went in

226
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: the south back to back, you know, eighteen and nineteen

227
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: do we went through that low? But now where we're

228
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: at now, just seeing the guys that we have, the

229
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: staff that we have, I think our fans are really

230
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: you know, true fans, not that they haven't been, but

231
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: you can see just the excitement into the stadium. You know,

232
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: the roof open a couple of weeks ago. You know,

233
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: that's exciting times, you know, and to be here, you know,

234
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: doing the highs lows and back on the high. Now,

235
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: let's just keep riding his wave until it's over.

236
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: Outstanding coach. Good luck this weekend.

237
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: Thank you.

238
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, Johnny.

239
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: No doubt that Danny Barrett is one of the good guys.

240
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: What a guy to have on this staff. And think

241
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: about it.

242
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: He worked for Bill O'Brien, Romeo Crenell for a bit,

243
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: David Cully, Lovey Smith and now Jamiko Rans. He must

244
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: be doing something right. These guys keep him around, he

245
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: keeps doing a good job.

246
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely.

247
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: I love the fact that he's got the assistant head

248
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: coach title too, uh to be able to if something

249
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: were to go wrong. Danny stepping up with some head

250
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: coaching experience. I mean, I just feel comforted by that.

251
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: But I think he's done a good job with these

252
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: running backs, especially the injury situation. Just trying to find

253
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: the hot hand, trying to find the guy that works.

254
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 4: And you know, in the Colts game, as we mentioned,

255
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: and as he mentioned, Joe had the hot hand, mashed

256
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: that easy button. Then against the Jaguars the other day,

257
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 4: it's Darre okay, smashed the easy button. You know, it

258
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: sounds simple, yet it's pretty tough to kind of get

259
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: that going with your with your running backs and have

260
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: that sort of hot hand sort of thing. And he's

261
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: really got a good feel for it, understands this offense

262
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: been around.

263
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 5: I love Danny Barrett man, He's absolutely awesome.

264
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: And he did say that he was probably a better

265
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: Domino's player than Dre when he left the studio, but

266
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: that still remains to be uh to be checked at

267
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: some point.

268
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Well, Drey always brings this up, and I'm not revealing

269
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: any seas, any deep ones, but he says Danny Barrett

270
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: goes to bed every night at ten thirty, no matter what.

271
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Ten thirty just shuts it down in their Domino games,

272
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: no matter what. He's highly disciplined, and you have to

273
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: be to be an NFL head coach. All right, let's

274
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: get to some info here, the injury report, and look,

275
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: this is big news in the NFL.

276
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: Every week.

277
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: We always wait for these things. We want to know

278
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: what's going on with the team, and we have to

279
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: play injury report interpreter sometimes. For instance, last week, Nico

280
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: showed up limited on a Thursday with a hamstring. Now

281
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: that could mean anything, That could mean you're out for

282
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: a few weeks because it might have happened during practice

283
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: turned out to be nothing. Obviously, he played and played

284
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: at an extremely high level. But today you have Blake

285
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Fisher with an illness. Don't know what that is. I'm

286
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: hoping for the best that he's able to play. We'll

287
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: find out more tomorrow. Jake Hanson shows up with a

288
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: back injury, did not participate, Jerry Hughes with a hip,

289
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Robert Woods with a foot. Now you already know Joe

290
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Mixon not practicing with the ankle, Damian Pierce with the hamstring,

291
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: and Derek Bart with a shoulder for the second consecutive day,

292
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: which does not loom well to miss thursday's practice.

293
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: Interpret some of this stuff for me, Johnny.

294
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's it's tough too.

295
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: I think the one thing that does bother me is

296
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 4: that every single offensive tackle the Texans have is on

297
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: the injury report, and none of the three will were

298
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: full participants today in practice, So that that worries me.

299
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: And on our injury report they'll put in italics and

300
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 4: bold the guys that are new or have changed status. Yeah,

301
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: and there are a lot of those guys, especially.

302
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 5: In the DMPs.

303
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 4: You know, Jake was hurt yesterday, I believe because that

304
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: was the person I've seen him on the injury report

305
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: and he was limited, but then today he's a d MP.

306
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh gosh, now, before you start crying in

307
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: beers and all that kind of stuff, which we are

308
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: prone to do.

309
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 5: It's kind of like that on the Buffalo side.

310
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: Maybe not to that degree, but you've got Ed Oliver

311
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: who just showed up on the injury report with a hamstring,

312
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: kind of similar to Nico last week. Yep, he's not

313
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: anywhere on it on Wednesday, but he's now limited with

314
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: a hamstring on Thursday. So that bears watching the young

315
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: man coming back to play in his hometown at Oliver.

316
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 5: So that's one.

317
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: And then Dean Dawkins is moving in the right direction.

318
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: They do think that Dion's gonna play, but he is

319
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: really really good. But you know they're dealing with that

320
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: as well. Everybody's dealing with injuries at this point. But man,

321
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 4: to see so many pop up for the Texas into

322
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: the DFP category, and on top.

323
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 5: Of that, all the tackles in a game in which you've.

324
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: Got to protect CJ shoud that didn't make me feel

325
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: good at all.

326
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Titus Howard showing up limited with a hamstring, kind

327
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: of like Nico last week. The deal is it could

328
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: be anything. We don't want to interpret too much from that.

329
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: Last year Derek Stingley Junior got injured. I think it

330
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: was the last play of practice and he was out

331
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: several weeks. You don't want to have that happen, obviously,

332
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: So let's just take a deep breath. We'll wait and see.

333
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: We'll wait till tomorrow, see who's in, who's out. Somebody

334
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: might be a game time decision. I'm hoping Blake's illness

335
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: is not too bad. At least he can get out there.

336
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: The fact that Laramie's limited today with the angle means

337
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: he's trending in the right direction. So doctor vandermir says,

338
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: I think will be okay with a question mark, and

339
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: we'll find out. Because the Bills, you need all hands

340
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: on deck for this one. I don't care who they're playing,

341
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: who they're not playing. If Josh Allen's playing, they got

342
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: a shot to win. He's a one man wrecking crew

343
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: in the offensive backfield. He can hurt your running throwing,

344
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: and he can really hurt your running because he can

345
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: collide with you and hurt you that way. He's that

346
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: big an individual, and I know you feel the same way.

347
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's so.

348
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: I mean, he's so difficult to bring down even when

349
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: you get back there just a straight standard drop back.

350
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 4: I think what Joe Brady has done for him though,

351
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: is kind of sped the game up, but he's seemingly

352
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: slowing the game down. And what I mean by that

353
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: is it's a lot of hitches, short stuff to get

354
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: the ball out of his hands, designed to get the

355
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: ball out of his hands quickly. Yet Josh is making

356
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: all the right decisions, and so you can tell that

357
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: even though he's being asked to throw the three step game,

358
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: the quick game, he's doing it such that the game

359
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: is slowing down. So it probably feels like molasses to him. Oh,

360
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: scan quickly, boom throw it. Scan quickly, boom throw it.

361
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: But it's those plays out of the pocket. And he

362
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 4: even showed last week against the Ravens. I mean that

363
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 4: throw that he has in the third quarter where.

364
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 5: He's pump faking and pump faking.

365
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 4: And sprinting all the way to the Ravens sideline and

366
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: as he is falling out of bounds with one foot

367
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: still in bounds fires at fifty five yards down field

368
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: of Khalil Shakir, and you're like, oh my god.

369
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 5: Who does that?

370
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: So look, I think Buffalo's probably going through the same

371
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: thing with CJ. They've seen CJ break tackles in the pocket. Hey,

372
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: he's tough to bring down in the pocket. They see

373
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: him move out of the pocket, they see how accurate

374
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: he is. So Buffalo's kind of going through the same thing,

375
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: just in a different kind of form. Well, we're worried

376
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: about with Josh, they're probably not as worried about with CJ.

377
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: But some of the things they're worried about with CJ,

378
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: we're probably not as worried about with Josh. So makes

379
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: for a hell of a matchup with those two quarterbacks

380
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: getting it done on Sunday against one another.

381
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 5: That's gonna be a fun game.

382
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: The Bills have won the AFC East four consecutive times

383
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty through twenty twenty three. Will it be five times?

384
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Is there any way the Jets overtake the Bills this year?

385
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: In your opinion?

386
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 5: You know, I kind of thought that.

387
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: I think when you and John McLean and I kind

388
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: of did our predictions, I think I went Jets just

389
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: to kind of shake it up. I kind of thought

390
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: the Bills would take a step back all the changes

391
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: and everything that going on. But just watching the Jets

392
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 4: early in the year, I don't like the vibes. I

393
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: don't really like anything about it. To be honest with you,

394
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: I think Aaron is not only a statue of pocket.

395
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 4: I mean I think he is a cement statue not

396
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: moving at all. And I think you saw against the

397
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 4: Brock with the against the Broncos, he's a sitting duck

398
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: back there, and there were some issues with cadences you

399
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: found out. I don't like the vibe between Robert Solin

400
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers.

401
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 5: So I had to go and bet it.

402
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 4: The way the Dolphins are playing, we know the Patriots

403
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 4: are not that team. The Dolphins are going sideways. Well

404
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 4: a should you say that They're not eve going sideways.

405
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: They're going sideways and down, They're going off the edge.

406
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 4: The Jets and Bills are really only two teams.

407
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 5: I just don't know that.

408
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 4: Watching this iteration of the Jets, I feel confident that

409
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: the Jets will get it done. Then if they make

410
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: a move to go get Devonte Adams, I don't know

411
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 4: how that shakes everything up. They then trade Garrett. Well,

412
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's some crazy stuff going on, but

413
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: I just feel like the Bills are more consistent and

414
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 4: that makes me want to pick them over everybody else.

415
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: And Adams has a hamstring injury allegedly, No, he's got

416
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. Yeah, right, he's got some I have

417
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: the feeling that the Raiders cannot wait to move DeVante Adams.

418
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: They are just yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it.

419
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Let's do it, Let's get something whatever we can get.

420
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: They feel like, yeah, he's a heck of a playmaker,

421
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: but anybody who wants out, it just feels like they

422
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: need to get out.

423
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

424
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: I mean I think, you know, there's obviously been a

425
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 4: lot of talk about, you know, this week and nationally

426
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: about Steph and the Bills and all that kind of stuff.

427
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 4: Here's the one thing that you never questioned about Steph.

428
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 4: He played, He was gonna play. There was none of

429
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 4: this nonsense about my hamstringer. They like, there's none of that.

430
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 4: He's gonna play. And that's what I always will respect

431
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 4: about Steph. And hopefully on Sunday he goes up there

432
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 4: and he balls out and he does his thing, you know,

433
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 4: seven eight catches, seventy yards a tuddy, you know, opens

434
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 4: things up for Nico. Nico opens things up for him.

435
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 4: But that's the one thing about stef He he was

436
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: gonna play his teammates do it.

437
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 5: Everybody knew it. I don't know that you get that

438
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 5: feeling with the Raiders DeVante Adams.

439
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring this up with Jonathan Alexander when we

440
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: have mon Tomorrow covers the Texans for the Houston Chronicle

441
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: about the NBA mentality with the media covering the NFL. Now,

442
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's warranted, maybe it's not. But when you cover

443
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: the NBA, it's Lebron and this and that, Lebron and

444
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: Steph and who wants to play with Lebron? It was

445
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: that for a long time and now it's who wants

446
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: to play with whoever, and it's all about the personalities.

447
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: And that could be good for the league, and it's

448
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: good for the soap opera, the drama, the free agents

449
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: that want to play together, that kind of thing. With

450
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, do you think they zero in too much

451
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 1: on this stuff? I feel like the focus on Digs

452
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: versus the Bills since we live in this building. Seems crazy.

453
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: This is a good game with two teams. To us,

454
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: it's a team sport. But they're focusing on these perceived dramas. Now,

455
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: maybe some of it's warranted, but I think not this

456
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: much is warranted.

457
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts, Well, you just said it, you know,

458
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 4: perceived how it's perceived by people. You know, we're outsiders

459
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 4: looking in to Steph Diggs until he gets in the

460
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: building and then you see staph in the building and

461
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: you're like, what the like, what were they talking about?

462
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 5: This guy's a leader, like they like, this team likes him.

463
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 4: You see those leadership qualities, You see how much fun

464
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: he's having, and look, you know, you know, you're not dumb.

465
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: We followed the story of Steph from Minnesota to Buffalo

466
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 4: to hear like, you see all that's out there, but

467
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: I think there's so much that's perceived to be that way.

468
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: And you know, you when you run into fans, you

469
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 4: know Texans fans in different corners of the Houston universe,

470
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: you know, they'll bring up stuff and you're like, uh,

471
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 4: where did where did you get that from?

472
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 5: Like it's not even close to being that. Oh why

473
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 5: I heard on the Radio or I read.

474
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: It somewhere, ittuates itself.

475
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 5: McAfee, talk about it. It's all perceived stuff.

476
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, Johnny, thanks a lot. Let's get to

477
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: John McClain coming up next to General and join us

478
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: as we dig in more to Texans, Bills and everything

479
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: else going on around the NFL.

480
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: It's Texans Radio. Back to it on Texans Radio.

481
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermaer and John Harris with you, joined by the General,

482
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: John McClain. John, another big week, Week five, the Buffalo

483
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: Bills coming to Tech and this is as big as

484
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: it gets so far this season.

485
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure you'd agree.

486
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 6: You know, Stefon Diggs is not the only one looking

487
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 6: forward to this game because it's kind of a barometer

488
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 6: for where the Texans are right now. Josh Allen a

489
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 6: week ago would have been the MVP, but right now

490
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 6: he's not. After they got crushed by Baltimore. I think

491
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 6: it would have been better for the Texans for them

492
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 6: to win and come in unbeaten, because they're a wounded

493
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 6: animal and backed into a corner. And I know those

494
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 6: are cliches, but that's the way I view. It's going

495
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 6: to be a great test for the defense. It's going

496
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 6: to be the kind of test that the offense wants,

497
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: you know, until they get Joe Mixon back, they've struggled

498
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 6: to run the ball because the offensive line has not

499
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 6: been doing a good job. It was great to see

500
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 6: Stroud of three hundred and forty five yards engineered that

501
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 6: game winning drive. And Nico Collins right now, production wise,

502
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 6: is the best receiver in the NFL. The only guy

503
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 6: ahead of him he catches, Malik nas Is out and

504
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 6: Neighbors is number two in yards and he's over one

505
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 6: hundred behind Nico. So I can't wait to see what

506
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 6: the Bills try to do against Nico, because nobody has

507
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 6: been able to stop him.

508
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: But Josh Allen has been a thorn in everybody aside

509
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 4: general and the one thing early in Josh's creed could

510
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 4: count on, you're gonna pick him off, You're gonna turn

511
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: him over.

512
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 5: That's not something you can count on.

513
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty four, He's got no interceptions, he's running

514
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 4: the ball really well, he's making.

515
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 5: Good wise choices.

516
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 4: How big is the challenge in at least just slowing

517
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 4: Josh Allen down on Sunday.

518
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 6: In other words, you're saying he's due for his first

519
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 6: interception is that right.

520
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 5: I'd love for the announcer jinks.

521
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 6: He's gonna throw more than one? Why not? Sunday and

522
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 6: the Bills run the ball better. And the one thing

523
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 6: I looked up, I went over every inaly that's been

524
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 6: committed this year. I'm going to keep a running total,

525
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 6: and I looked up that how many yards Status had

526
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 6: called back so far as ninety Diggs had two catches

527
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 6: for thirty yards wiped out Sunday er he would have

528
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 6: had ninety nine. And so you know, you'd like to

529
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 6: see him control the ball, which is going to be

530
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 6: hard to do if he can't run. So the passing

531
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 6: game is going to have to be really effective, and

532
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: which it was against Jacksonville. And then defensively, I think

533
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 6: when it comes to Josh Allen, That's what I'm writing

534
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 6: about for Friday on Houston Texas dot Com, is about

535
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 6: how this is the most important game for the defense

536
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 6: because he's the best quarterback they've faced, and you guys

537
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 6: know they're gonna face a lot of great ones and

538
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 6: starting with him, so it's a great test for the defense.

539
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 6: The secondary. I love the way Bill Barnwell at ESPN

540
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 6: did his MVPs at every award that they give after

541
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 6: the season, and his defensive Rookie of the Year was

542
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 6: not all those corners or pass rushers taken in the

543
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 6: first round. It was Tamar Lassiter. I think here everybody

544
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 6: would agree with how well he's played instantly, have played

545
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 6: really well. So they're gonna have to play even better.

546
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 6: Safeties are gonna have to play better. And I don't

547
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 6: know if they can get to Josh Allen the way

548
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 6: the Ravens did, force him out and hit him when

549
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 6: he's off balance, you know, try to make him get

550
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 6: rid of it before he wants and show them that

551
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 6: they might indeed miss Stefan Diggs in that passing game.

552
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: John McLean joining us, John, what about the running game

553
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans? Every week we say, well, it'd

554
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: be great if you could protect strout against this defense,

555
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: and especially this defense with the harassment they're giving opposing quarterbacks.

556
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: But what about running the ball. Let's assume no mixing,

557
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: no pierce. What do you think Darrey Moore carries? How

558
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: do they handle the situation this week?

559
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 6: No mixing, no run. They have been able to run, true,

560
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 6: they couldn't run. What bothered me in the last game

561
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 6: was Bobby slowly kept calling runs on first down, and

562
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 6: they went for one one, one, two zero, seven, two

563
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 6: four three zero before they hit at fifteen, then a zero,

564
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 6: than at eight and a six. But they put Stroud

565
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 6: in so many second, third, long situations. And I asked

566
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 6: Miko this week, when you were a defensive player, how

567
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 6: much did you like it when you faced obvious passing situations?

568
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 6: And so far as Stroud's been able to bail them out,

569
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 6: I'd like to see Darry Mugwally be the second back

570
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 6: over JJ Taylor. I think he earned it, not only

571
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 6: just as a receiver but a runner. He's so smart

572
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 6: and so I would play Agers first, and Agers is

573
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 6: a good receiver, but Darry is a really good receiver.

574
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 6: There's no reason JJ Taylor should be getting the ball

575
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 6: over Tomwally. So I think it might be a little better.

576
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 6: You know, Buffalo's run defense has not been good, and

577
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 6: that was before Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. Then Justice

578
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 6: Hill destroyed their run defense and dropped them to thirtieth.

579
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 6: But they've struggled, and the Texans run defense has struggled

580
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 6: between the tackles. The interior run defense has been terrible,

581
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 6: averaging five point six yards of carry against them, So

582
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 6: you know they're going to get a lot of James

583
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 6: Cook up the middle because that's Worke. Digsby went up

584
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 6: the middle and they needed Kaitlyn Bullock to save them.

585
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 6: But the run, the interior, run defense, and in the

586
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 6: running game, basically the trenches, which we can say every week,

587
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 6: is going to have a big impact on the game.

588
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 6: But both these quarterbacks are capable of bailing out their

589
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 6: offenses in any situation.

590
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 5: General.

591
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: The name Dalton Schultz, somebody brought that up on Monday

592
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: and said, well, Dalton Schultz has got to.

593
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 5: Have better games or whatever the case might be.

594
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: He's made a couple of really key catches for this team,

595
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 4: and going back and watching the film, there are a

596
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: couple of times where he's open, but CJ gets pressure,

597
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: he's got to go on the move. What are her

598
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 4: thoughts about Dalton getting a little bit more involved in

599
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 4: the passing game, especially early in the game to kind

600
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: of get that report going with CJ early As teams

601
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 4: start to take away Nico and potentially tank and stuff

602
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 4: on Diggs, Well.

603
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 6: They're not going to take away Nico no matter what

604
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 6: they try. He's just too good, fearless all over the field.

605
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 6: Just I wrote a column on Houston Texans dot Com

606
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 6: yesterday about he's on a pace for over seven hundred

607
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 6: yards at Yack. They got many receivers, not even gonna

608
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 6: have seven seven hundred yards. But if they do something

609
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 6: other teams haven't done, and maybe you know the key

610
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 6: to get is to getting pressure. It's nice to say

611
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 6: that about Dalton Schultz. So who do you want to

612
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 6: take the passes away from Collins Digg's Dale. I don't

613
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 6: think so. I don't think it's anything Schultz has done.

614
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 6: They got too many receivers, they don't have a lot

615
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 6: of long time consuming drives like they did on the

616
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 6: last game winning touchdown pass in which Shows made a

617
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 6: great play. They had too many options and they want

618
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 6: to run the ball. You know, they had let's see

619
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 6: fourteen first down runs. That's amazing. What if they throwed

620
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 6: seven more and they did throw them first down and

621
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 6: they were more successful. But if they knocked off seven

622
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 6: of those first down runs and say five of those

623
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 6: targets went to Dalton Schultz, he looked like he had

624
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 6: good stats. I think right now the problem is they

625
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 6: not too many weapons. You just can't get the ball

626
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 6: to all your weapons every game.

627
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, they can't run the ball for a long distance

628
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: on one single play every game of the Tamico Ryans era.

629
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: Because when you look over the past two.

630
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Years, I think the longest run is something like twenty

631
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: two yards, So that is saying something, right, twenty two yards.

632
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: This team went ten and seven last year, won the division.

633
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: They're three and one this year. They're doing it without

634
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: running the with gigantic chunk plays that Bigsby run for Jacksonville.

635
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: If the Texans had done something like that, that's a revelation.

636
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing to think of things like that.

637
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 6: Even Joe Mixon in that great first game wasn't as

638
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 6: long as run like thirteen yards. And in the previous

639
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 6: game against Minnesota, didn't the guy have a thirty seven

640
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 6: yard run? So you take away those two big runs.

641
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 6: Their run defense was really good on all their other carries,

642
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 6: but getting those big ones which they didn't do last year,

643
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 6: and they start up in the middle and where they

644
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 6: have new people inside that they didn't the two guys

645
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 6: last year gone and look like they're being missed. And

646
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 6: I think they'll get that worked out, you know to

647
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 6: me because he told you guys two weeks ago about

648
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 6: the interior run defense. And I don't know if playing

649
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 6: more Khalil Davis or Kurt Heiness comes back, but the

650
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 6: fact is they're not playing it like they did last year.

651
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 6: And when you're struggling to run and then you you

652
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 6: have a problem stopping or run up the middle, then

653
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 6: that's an issue. You can't ask Stroud to bail them

654
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 6: out every time, you know, and the Bills are like

655
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 6: that with Josh Allen, you know he expected to make

656
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 6: big plays and to bail them out. You know, we're

657
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 6: not going to get the Josh Allen of the last

658
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 6: time he was there in the twenty nineteen wild Card

659
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 6: game where he had turnovers and they walt Texans won

660
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 6: in overtime. He's grown so much, but he still likes

661
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 6: to run and he's going to run and then you

662
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 6: got to bring him down. So they've got issues on

663
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 6: defense to contain him. But that happens every week. And

664
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 6: maybe they learned something about how the Ravens attacked Allan

665
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 6: and I know they got him out of the pocket

666
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 6: a lot and he threw the ball down the field,

667
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 6: made a couple of big catches. But boy, he got

668
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 6: hit a lot outside the pocket too. Maybe it doesn't

669
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 6: hurt him like it does others because he's so big

670
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 6: and strong.

671
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: Right, it was twenty four yards last year, it's eighteen

672
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: yards this year for longest runs of each season. Just

673
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: wanted to be correct on that. I went to stat

674
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: boy on myself. He did get stat boy out of himself. Hey, General, Nashville.

675
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans, they get a win on Monday Night.

676
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: They do it without Will Levis.

677
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 4: He threw a pick on one drive, his second drive,

678
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 4: he dove for first down, heard his shoulder. They brought

679
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 4: in Mason Rudolph, who didn't do a whole lot in

680
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 4: the game, but he seemed to kind of steady the

681
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 4: ship and the Titans get a big win on the road.

682
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 4: What are the Titans going to do going forward? Is

683
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: it going to be living with Mason Rudolph, find your

684
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 4: future quarterback in the draft or free agency in the offseason,

685
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 4: or are they going to go back to Will Levis

686
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 4: and see if he can't try and change his ways

687
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 4: and tame the wild stallion that is Will Levis and Tennessee.

688
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 6: Well, before I address that, something else that Texans need

689
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 6: to do. Last year, that last two years they had

690
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 6: the best special teams in the NFL. Now teams are

691
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 6: killing them. They've given up a block punt and a

692
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 6: short touchdown to give a two yard touchdown drive penalties.

693
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 6: I can't figure that one out. Frank Cross is as

694
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 6: good as special teams coordinator is there in in the

695
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 6: NFL and has got to be killing him. But I'm

696
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 6: guessing they'll get that worked out. You know, once Sims

697
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 6: fumble that punt they brought in Robert Sure ended Robert Woods,

698
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 6: but you know they're not getting the special team's production

699
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 6: that they got last year. Tommy Towns's net punting is

700
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 6: among the worst in the league, so they got to

701
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 6: hit that corrected too. As far as the Titans, Gallahan's

702
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 6: already said if Levis is healthy, he'll play. They need

703
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 6: more than three and a half games to tell if

704
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 6: he's going to all of a sudden, the light goes

705
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 6: out and he's not gonna make bonheaded mistakes like his

706
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 6: first pass through right to a dolphin. Everybody in the stadium,

707
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 6: everybody watching on TV TV, Levis was all he one

708
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 6: that didn't see the dB and he makes he's and

709
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 6: then the people and the shows I do up there,

710
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 6: they were trying to blast him for running for that

711
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 6: first down and coming down his shoulder. You know, a

712
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 6: guy tries to make a play like that and it's

713
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 6: not a turnover. He's trying to get a first down

714
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 6: for his team. He should have belly flopped like he's

715
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 6: diving into a pool. So he gets hurt. Mason Rudolph

716
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 6: comes in and move the ball better. But and at

717
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 6: some point maybe Levis will be so bad to have

718
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 6: to pull him beside something with an injury, but they

719
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 6: need to do everything they can. Then they're going to

720
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 6: be in a quarterback market next year. And it's a

721
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 6: really interesting situation in Minnesota because rookie J. J. Carth

722
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 6: he's out with knee injury all year. You know, they

723
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 6: were gonna have growing pains with him. Now they're unbeaten,

724
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 6: and so Sam Darnold, I doubt he's going to sign

725
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 6: a five year contract up there. What are they gonna

726
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 6: do with Donald Lee's leaguing with eleven touchdown passes? So

727
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 6: if Donald goes on the open market, there's gonna be

728
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 6: a lot of teams going after him. And I would

729
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 6: yes that Tennessee would be one, unless the Titans are

730
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 6: so bad they could get a quarterback they like high

731
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 6: in the first round.

732
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: General, it feels like the Colts have not beaten the

733
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: Jags in North Florida since dinosaurs roamed to the earth.

734
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: So is it gonna happen this weekend?

735
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 6: If Anthony Richardson were playing, Yes, he's erratic, inconsistent herd.

736
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 6: But they're gonna have Joe Flacco and Flaccos come off

737
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 6: the bench and won two games after no two start.

738
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 6: But the Jaguars are owing four. I'm taking the Jags

739
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 6: to win this game in a close one because man,

740
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 6: if they start ozhing five after the owner Shod con

741
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 6: said it's the best team he's ever had as an owner,

742
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 6: Now he's looking like an idiot. And but I think

743
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 6: the Jags, who played pretty well against the Texans, will

744
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 6: beat the Colts.

745
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 4: It's probably the Kansas City chief John give me the

746
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 4: top two teams in the NFL right now? Oh, number one?

747
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 4: I would think the Chiefs undefeated. Okay, maybe is it

748
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: Chiefs Viking? Is it somebody else that's got one losses

749
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 4: that somebody we're not thinking about. Is it the Ravens

750
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: who's the next best team beyond the Chiefs, or who

751
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: are the top two teams in the league?

752
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 6: You said right now, right now, right now, Baltimore just

753
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 6: just pulverized Buffalo. Last week I would have said Buffalo.

754
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 6: Kansas City is struggling to win. They have injuries. Great

755
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 6: that they're winning. My top two teams right now are

756
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 6: Baltimore and Minnesota, with Kansas City third. And if in

757
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: the way Baltimore played and got Derrick Henry involved in

758
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 6: the offense the last two games after a slow start,

759
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 6: that's been pretty unbelievable. And they have the cap money

760
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 6: if they wanted to trade for Devonte Adams. I saw

761
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 6: a list of teams that have the cap money that

762
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 6: could use in Baltimore was one of them. Oh my goodness,

763
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 6: he wants to go to the Jets. Of course, Pittsburgh

764
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 6: could use him. They tried to get Brandon i Uke

765
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 6: and so Dallas could, but they've already said they're not interested,

766
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 6: which to me, you should at least be interested in

767
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 6: proving your team. And I'm guessing he's gonna end up

768
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 6: reunited with Aaron Rodgers because Rogers runs the Jets and

769
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 6: they'll do whatever he wants, and so I'm guessing he'll

770
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 6: end up there. The boy can you imagine if he

771
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 6: did end up with Baltimore playing with Mark and Andrews

772
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 6: Sayflowers and Justice Hill and Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson.

773
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 6: The reason I picked the Ravens to win the Super

774
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 6: Bowl again and I thought because Derrick Henry would be

775
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 6: the most influential free agent. Boy. I felt stupid after

776
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 6: their first two games, but I can't imagine a team

777
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 6: looking better than they did against Buffalo.

778
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: Well, the Raiders came back on him. They had the

779
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: toe on the line against the Chiefs late. I think

780
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: it's a good choice right now that they're the best

781
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: team in the league, along with the Vikings, who play

782
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: the Jets in London. Hello, so the Jets you mentioned?

783
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: Why would DeVante want to go to New York? Do

784
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: you think that Jets actually get right this year? I

785
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: got a bad feeling about what's going to happen there

786
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: for them, and I hope I'm hoping it continues through Halloween.

787
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 6: At the very least, I'm hoping they don't because it's

788
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 6: such a great story. You know, Robert Salah, he can't

789
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 6: There was a whole thing I saw on TV today

790
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 6: about how he struggles in news conferences. Now the PR

791
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 6: guys talk to him about what they're going to be

792
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 6: asked and out handle it when they're walking in there,

793
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 6: and he blames it on Aaron Rodgers cadence and then

794
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 6: you know, saying anything that's a shot at Rogers is stupid,

795
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 6: and then Rogers comes back at him. The week before

796
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 6: they had the dirty look. They got problems, and in

797
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 6: fact it's the Jets. I think it's great if they struggle.

798
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 6: I love to see the Vikings beat them. Two weeks ago,

799
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 6: Rogers looked really good, so I think they're going to

800
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 6: be up and down all year. It's good for them

801
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 6: that Miami's down and Buffalo should run away with that division.

802
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 6: But I think I loved to see controversy involving Aaron

803
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 6: Rodgers and the Jets. And when Robert Sala gets fired,

804
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 6: I'll bet you if not the next year, the year after,

805
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 6: if he takes a year off, he's working for Demiko

806
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 6: Ryans by him Houston.

807
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: Ooh ooh, I'll be down with that. That's a hot

808
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: TAKEE Wait, I got another one.

809
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 6: Six years he was here and when Dimigo retired and

810
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 6: he was coaching his high school defense. It was Robert

811
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 6: who called him up in twenty seventeen and said, would

812
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 6: you be interested in coming to the forty nine ers

813
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 6: with Kyle and a bunch of us former Texans and

814
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 6: get into coaching quality controlling Tmko thought about it and

815
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 6: said yes, and so Salah went back to Kyle and

816
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 6: course the rest his history and he replaced Sala's defensive coordinator.

817
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 6: They're really good friends. Sala's had an impact on his career.

818
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 6: Those guys get fired, go somewhere, and I'm guess, and

819
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 6: you know he wouldn't be the coordinator. He wouldn't call

820
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 6: the defenses. Tomiko likes it, but he could have some

821
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 6: assistant head coach senior title and hope that they did

822
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 6: well enough where he might get another shot at being

823
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 6: a head coach.

824
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 5: General.

825
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 4: It's Baker versus Kirk oh at Mercedes Benz in Atlanta.

826
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 5: I like this game.

827
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 4: I like this Thursday night game of the Buccaneers taking

828
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 4: on the Falcons.

829
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 5: Who you got Baker or Kirk Cousins.

830
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 6: I'm going with Cousins just because he's a home. Mayfield

831
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 6: is in fact the early MVP. It's where after four

832
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 6: games people are picking their MVPs and summer picking Mayfield.

833
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 6: I think it's a great example of how you don't

834
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 6: have to have a high first round pick to get

835
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 6: a productive quarterback. Now, neither one of them won a

836
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 6: Super Bowl, but they've been really good at different times

837
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 6: in their career. Cousins, But again, I think it's I'm

838
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 6: like you, John, I think it is a really good

839
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 6: game and I can't wait to watch it.

840
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: All right, Well, a couple more quick ones for you here.

841
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders. Now, we're in love with our quarterback

842
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: over here, so we're fine. But the nation is noticing

843
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: what Jayden Daniels is doing in Washington, and they play

844
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: you know who this weekend near the nation's capital as

845
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: the one in three Cleveland Browns.

846
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 5: Go in there.

847
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: What do you think of this? What do you think

848
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: of Daniels? General?

849
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 6: Only one team in the NFL has not got three

850
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 6: hundred yards in a game, and that's the Browns. And

851
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 6: of course everybody's down on Deshaun Watson. They can't run

852
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 6: the ball. Nick Chubb's back, they're open to get him back,

853
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 6: but he's coming off another major knee operation. I think

854
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 6: Washington to think about Daniels. That thing I talked about

855
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 6: Bill Barnwell head Lassner is the defensive Rookie of the Year.

856
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 6: He has not only Daniels as the offensive Rookie the Year,

857
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 6: but the MVP based on what he's doing right now,

858
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 6: on all of his numbers, and he's been stupendous. He's

859
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 6: going to have Cliff Kingsbury get another head coaching job,

860
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 6: and I think I'm happy for Cliff. I know him

861
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 6: a little bit, have always respected him, and I think

862
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 6: the Bears made a big mistake. They interviewed him, didn't

863
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 6: hire him to call plays for Caleb Williams, which he

864
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 6: did last year at USC, and he boy, they did

865
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 6: him a favor. I want to see more Jaden Daniels.

866
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 6: I don't even know if they've got any national games.

867
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 6: I guess they do because the fan base, But I

868
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 6: can't wait to see that kid again. He's had him

869
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 6: and Bownicks had so many college starts, and they have

870
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 6: so much more experienced than Sayalek Anthony Richardson did with

871
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 6: thirteen in college and then limited last year. But that

872
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 6: kid's phenomenal and people are fired up about football in

873
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 6: the district again.

874
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: One of the national pundits was complaining about the Commanders

875
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: not having primetime games. They were literally just on Monday

876
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: Night football. That was the big throw he made late

877
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, literally on Mondaynight football.

878
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: Hello, that's where you watched them anyway.

879
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, And they wanted to get them to get it

880
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 6: over with because they we all thought they were going

881
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 6: to be terrible. Just like last year, CJ. Stroud took

882
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 6: the NFL by storm. He elevated the standard for rooky quarterbacks,

883
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 6: which was unfair because it was seldom was attained. And

884
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 6: now Daniels is doing the same thing. And I love

885
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 6: watching those quarterbacks none more than Stroud, who turns what

886
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 6: twenty three today? Happy birthday to CJ. And boy, do

887
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 6: you guys remember what it's like to be twenty three

888
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 6: and blurring either And so watching those quarterbacks is phenomenal.

889
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 6: I can't wait to see Drake May when the Texans

890
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 6: get up there to play New England. Was it two

891
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 6: weeks or three weeks next week? I'm pretty sure next

892
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 6: week Drake May will be the starting quarterback by then

893
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 6: because they've been terrible with Jacobe Burzett.

894
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: All right, general, So you've got that piece on Houston

895
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: Texans dot Com tomorrow or anything else to remind us

896
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,240
Speaker 1: of no one now.

897
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 6: About Egocollins and how he and CJ are the most

898
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 6: prolific past catch duo in the NFL and why that

899
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 6: is happening now is going to keep happening if they

900
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 6: stay healthy, and then I'll have the one about the defense.

901
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 6: So on Friday, thank you guys very much.

902
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 2: As all way, thank you general.

903
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: Coming up, quickie segment, Houston Methodist Minutes. Anthony Richardson has

904
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: a hip injury.

905
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 2: What about hip injuries? We'll get into that among other things.

906
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: It's Texans All Access, all right, before we make way

907
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: for Thursday night football time for Houston Methodist Minutes. And

908
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: hip injuries always seem to be in the news in

909
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. Anthony Richardson has one right now. So let's

910
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: dig in a little deeper here with doctor Gillian Wooldridge

911
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: of Houston Methodist.

912
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 2: Doctor, how's it going?

913
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 7: Things are great?

914
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 5: How about you doing great?

915
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: And I don't have a hip injury, so I'm doing

916
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: even better. But many people in sports do and in

917
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: real life. So let's start with sports. We hear about

918
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: the hip pointer a lot. Tell me what a hip

919
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: pointer actually is.

920
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 7: So a hip pointer is when there's been some sort

921
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 7: of direct blow or hit either to the very outside

922
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 7: kind of bump of the hip that you may feel

923
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 7: is like a little bony bump on the side called

924
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 7: the greater trocanter, or if you kind of come up

925
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 7: near to where maybe the level of your belly button is,

926
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 7: you feel at the front of your pelvis there's a

927
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 7: little bony bump called the antier superior iliac spine. Either

928
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 7: of those places or bony bumps that tend to not

929
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 7: have a lot of padding or protection around them, and

930
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 7: so if they get hit, whether they're landing on or

931
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 7: you get tackled, you can have really severe pain. That's there.

932
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 7: There's a fluid filled sack called a bursa sack that

933
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 7: can be inflamed or even just a really significant bone bruise,

934
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 7: and it does not feel very nice when it happens.

935
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 2: What kind of recovery time are we looking at?

936
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 7: It can usually be pretty quick. I find that it

937
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 7: can be a little bit variable. Sometimes Initially an athlete

938
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 7: just from the pain is not really able to go

939
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 7: and run and cut and pivot the way they need to.

940
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 7: But after a couple of minutes and maybe applying some

941
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 7: eyes it can calm down. Other people, if they have

942
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 7: more significant bony bruising, it just takes a little bit

943
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 7: longer for them to recover because the muscles that attach

944
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 7: to that area, if they're pulling on it, can be

945
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 7: a little bit painful. So I find it's variable, but

946
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 7: most most people I feel like are back to normal

947
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 7: anywhere from a couple of minutes to maybe a couple

948
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 7: of days.

949
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about hip injuries that seem to

950
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: affect so many people we know or people listening, and

951
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: that would be something that might necessitate an eventual hip

952
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: replacement or something like that. Why are certain people more

953
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: susceptible to that? Is that the case? Or is it

954
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: just a wear and tear thing, A sports thing? I

955
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: got hit too many times as a youngster thing. What

956
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 1: do you think?

957
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 6: You know?

958
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 7: It can be all of the above. When we think

959
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 7: about conditions of the hip like hip host arthritis for example,

960
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 7: or just wear and tear on the hip, A lot

961
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 7: of that is actually genetic. There can be patients who

962
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 7: maybe look at say well, I ran there songs that

963
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 7: must have been in But truly, one of the biggest

964
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 7: determiners of osteoarthritis and our joints is going to be

965
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 7: how you picked your parents, so it tends to be genetic. However,

966
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 7: there are certain conditions that can develop that can predispose

967
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 7: you to developing hip arthritis maybe a little earlier. One

968
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 7: of these conditions is called hip impingement, in particularly in

969
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 7: male patients, but it can happen in females who engage

970
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 7: in sports that require a lot of cutting pivoting, So

971
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 7: we think about primarily football, soccer, ice hockey, and then

972
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 7: for women in particularly may see this with gymnastics and ballet.

973
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 7: Sometimes there can be excessive strain on the hip where

974
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 7: the growth plates are, and you can get some extra

975
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 7: bone formation, and we call that bony bump a cam deformity.

976
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 7: When you have that bony bump, you sometimes get abnormal

977
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 7: motion of the hip that can predispose you to a

978
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 7: chair of the laborum, which is a rim of cartilage

979
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 7: that sits in the socket of the hip. There may

980
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 7: even be extra bone on the socket called a sincer deformity.

981
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 7: And when we get that extra strain on the hit

982
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 7: joint from a laborom chair plus those bony bumps kind

983
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 7: of hitting against each other. It may predispose somebody to

984
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 7: early shaparthritis.

985
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: There's doctor Gillian Wooldridge of Houston Methodist. It's the official

986
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: healthcare provider of the Houston Texans. Houston Methodist leading medicine

987
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,640
