1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hello Texans. Good evening, and welcome to the program that

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: plugs you into NRG Stadium and what's going on with

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans. I'm Mark vander Meer here on the

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Hunday Texans Radio studio. The building is buzzing tonight because

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: we have the Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas Bowl tonight here. Yeah,

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: there's John McClain, distinguished Baylor alumnus secum. He's psyched up

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: for this one as Vanderbilt is in the house. So

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: I know who you want to win this one? Does

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Builder win this game? Though? I mean, Vanderbilt's pretty good

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: right Truthfully, Mark, I don't have a clue. I've watched

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Baylor games. I've watched him play well

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: and most of him played bad. But I've not watched Vanderbilt.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: I know Derek Mason had a tough job replacing James Franklin,

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: and they got it. Both teams have a chance to

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: have a winning record, yep, and that would look great

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: on the resumes. And for Matt Rule to go from

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: one win to seven wins would be shocking considering the

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: program that he took over. And I asked Sean Ryan

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: while ago because Sean coached with Matt with the Giants,

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: and I knew they were friends because when Baylor hired Matt,

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: I went and did a little story with Sean talking

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: about him, and I'll never forget he said, he may

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: be from the Northeast, but fifteen minutes after he's set

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: down in Waco, you're gonna think he's a Texan. That's

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: his personality. And I was like, yeah, right, guys from

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: the northeast. But he did. He fit in, hired a

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: bunch of assistants who were prominent high school coaches here

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: and it's helped him recruit Real well. And I asked

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: Sean about what do you think about Real going from

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: one win to the Texas Bowl, and he talked about

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: how happy he was. He said, but it does not

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: surprise me. Well, that's really good. Both programs really and

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Andre Rare brought up the point, we'll talk about this

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: later in the show, that both teams really want to

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: be here, so that bodes well for a good competitive

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: bowl game tonight. We'll see how it plays out here

37
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium this evening with a kickoff shortly after

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: eight o'clock, and you'll hear all the action right here.

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: You'll also here all the action on Sunday I do

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: when the Texans entertained the Jacksonville Jaguars, John, what are

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: you making this one? As the Jags are out of it?

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: But boy, they played like they were into it last

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: week at Miami, and we all know what happened four

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago when they took on the Colts and flattened

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: them six nothing not exactly an offensive barrage there. But

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: they still play some defense and they're still dangerous on

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: that side of the football. That is the most mystifying

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: game in the NFL this season, the Jaguars beating Colts

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: six zoo. It's only game the Colts have lost over

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: their last nine. Are they eight of nine or seven

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: of eight? I can't remember. But the Jaguars would like

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: nothing more than to win two games by upsets on

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: the road to finish six and ten. Now, it's been

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: a disappointing season to me. They're the biggest flop in

55
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. But if they could win the last two,

56
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: it probably would end all those Tom Coughlin coming out

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: to coach again and get rid of Doug Morone and

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: they could go into the offseason will not such a

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: bitter taste, and so they'd like to do it. Blake

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: Bortles lit up to Texans in two thousand and seventeen

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: when they had so many injuries on the defense at offense,

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: and then this year when Watson had to take the

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: bus to Jacksonville and they won twenty to seven, fewest

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: points of defense is given up, and they played so

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: well against Bortles, Doug Moron pulled him for Cody Kessler,

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: so they got nothing to lose. Bortles at auditioning for

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a job, you know he's not going to be back.

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: If Nick falls, opts out, or the Eagles decide not

69
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: to exercise the option for twenty million, you know they'll

70
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: be in the running. Denver will be in the running,

71
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: multiple teams will be, but Bortles is looking for another job.

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: You got as you mentioned about their defense can still play.

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: But the key is think about how much better to

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson's going to be compared to when he had

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: a collapse along in a broken rim. That's a good

76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: point right there, and the Texans reven to get some

77
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: things done on the ground that day. We'll get to

78
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: that in just a moment. Back to Jacksonville. For a second, here,

79
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell, what's up with him? He's on that list

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: of GM possible candidates and he still has a job. Well,

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: he can leave if he gets authority over personnel. He

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have it. He did, but then when they hired

83
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin to run the front office, he had final say.

84
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: So even though Calwell has the title, if he gets

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the title and the authority, he can leave. Okay, So

86
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: it's that simple called I don't know if you'd give

87
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: him that shot. Michael Lombardi was on Mad Radio this

88
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: morning and he said, what about the quarterback position? I mean,

89
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: they had multiple opportunities, had multiple quarterbacks, passed all of

90
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: them up to stick with Blake Bortles, and after last year.

91
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: I get it to a point, but there was no

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: backup plan. There was no Plan B that was gonna work.

93
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Kessler clearly as it, and look where they are right now.

94
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin could have changed that. So he can't fire himself.

95
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: And I hope Doug Morone stays. I think Doug, you know,

96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: he's ninety seven, is one year in Buffalo and he

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: opted out because the team was so it was in

98
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: his contract. He was interim coach with the Jaguars and

99
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: then he was the head coach and they went to

100
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: the FC Championship game. You don't fire guy after one year.

101
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: It has that kind of track record, so he'll be back.

102
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: The AFC South is the best division in the NFL,

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: And when I think about how good it can be

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: next year, when the Colts have a hundred million in

105
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: free agency, the Texans are going to have sixty eight,

106
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: but it'll be a lot less than that after they

107
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: do a lot of things with their own guys, but

108
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: they'll still have enough to go out and sign some players.

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: And then the Titans, Mike Rabel has done a good

110
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: job there this year. Talk about a team that needs

111
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: to have a good backup quarterback, it would be them

112
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: because Mariote has been hurt something every year he's been

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: in the league, and they got to make a decision

114
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: pretty soon to commit to him. But I think those

115
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: three teams, and then if Jacksonville gets a quarterback, can

116
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: you imagine how competitive this division is going to be? Well,

117
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: even with the to the Texans, John, because these two

118
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: teams likely to make the playoffs. Texans are already in

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: and the Colts have a great shot on Sunday night

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: when they host Tennessee, I mean when they visit Tennessee.

121
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: So you look at that, and then Albert Brear talking

122
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: about most likely dynasty in the NFL, and it was

123
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: just one of those sort of talk radio questions and

124
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: he said, oh, the Colts because of all the cap space,

125
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, they have a quarterback, they have Ballard

126
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: who's done a pretty good job so far. But why

127
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: not the Texans too in that case, because you know

128
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: John Harris brought it up. You have Dashaw, you have

129
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: some cap space for sure, it's a pretty big chunk.

130
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: And you have Brian gain off to a pretty good

131
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: start drafting, and Bill O'Brien who has four winning seasons

132
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: in his first five years. So you're right, this could

133
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: be a huge factor moving forward in this division. Brian

134
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Gaines Gaine needs the kind of draft that Chris Ballard hit.

135
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: They got a one in a two in the offensive line.

136
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: They're both playing well from the midway point on deadline

137
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: has been great. I believe Brian will use to the

138
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: tip three pigs on offensive tackles and get a corner

139
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: with the other one. I think because there's more cornerbacks

140
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: available in free agency than offensive tackles. I think he'll

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: sign a corner. They need to get faster, bigger at

142
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: corner and they just need to get better at tackle.

143
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: And based on what Brian and his staff did in

144
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: this past draft without a one in to two, I

145
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: am really pumped up about the next one to see

146
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: what they do. And a guy that never gets any credit,

147
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Chris Olsen Executives says he senior VP of Administration whatever

148
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: whatever Chris is, he's the cap guy behind the scenes

149
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: and he has done a great job at putting this team,

150
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: which has been a contender since Bill got here, except

151
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: last year because of injuries, to where they're going to

152
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of cap space now. They got decisions

153
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: on players. I still think Clowney will end up being franchised,

154
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: and they got to side Matthew Jackson extensions. What Brian

155
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: Gaine can do to bring in a couple of players

156
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: that need positions. I'm pumped about that. But I'm also

157
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: excited about this game and the possibility of the playoffs

158
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: because they're they're gonna beat Jacksonville. I keep seeing all

159
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: these people go well if they lose to Jacksonville, how

160
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: could they lose to jackson Well, stranger things. You just

161
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: mentioned that Jacksonville beat the car but that was a

162
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: month ago. There was nothing on the line like in

163
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: this game. All Right, Seattle loses to San Francisco two

164
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: weeks ago, but this team is not gonna lose at

165
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: home to the Jaguars and they're gonna win. And then

166
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck's coming back to town. Can you imagine how

167
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: exciting that that game would be. I'll guarantee, I'm guessing

168
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: the networks won't put the Texans on Saturday in the

169
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: first round, where you always put the teams that have

170
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: the least interest. When you got Luck and watching the

171
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: two games decided by three points, that would be a

172
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: primo playoff game. All Right, you're bringing up a lot

173
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: of stuff I want to get into. First of all,

174
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: Olsen's official title, Yes, Senior vice President Football Administration. That's

175
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: Chris Olson's official title. I'm not a big title guy.

176
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: Czar of the Cap that's Chris Hapsar. Yeah, cap stars, capologists,

177
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: that's where we're calling from down. Caps are all right.

178
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: So the other thing is, I'll get to the running

179
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: game in a moment. But you brought up the playoff

180
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: because the Texas are in so here we go. But

181
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: if they do end up hosting the Colts, what if

182
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: it's Baltimore hosting the LA Charger. It's almost at San Diego.

183
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: Which game is more attractive to the networks? Well, the

184
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: one now one LA is in a bigger market, But

185
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: nobody in LA cares about the charge. Nobody really cares

186
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: about the charge. If you're a TV executive, what's a

187
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: sexier matchup? I don't know. I think Watson and Luck.

188
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: Obviously you're right. I mean, it was twenty four to

189
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: twenty one last time they met, and it's bound to

190
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: be another close one and maybe a shootout. Probably is

191
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: shootout considered. The Texans can run, and if you get Baltimore,

192
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: you get a great defense, you get a rematch on

193
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: this game that they just played against each other, and

194
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: this is a rematch too, And it was not a

195
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: really exciting game. I watched it, But these two with

196
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: the cults and the Texans were I'm taking now they're

197
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: gonna look Okay, Indianapolis market, it's not even big deal.

198
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: But Houston's a huge market, and nobody in LA cares

199
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: about the Chargers and the San Diego and Amy. People

200
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: care about them there now they probably don't. Okay, I

201
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: know you get asked this a lot, and it's been

202
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: a weird week, so I haven't been able to hear

203
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: you much. But what is your answer when people ask

204
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you why can't the Texans run the ball better? Why

205
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: have they got three consecutive games without being able to

206
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: run it the way they need to? Because teams are

207
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: obliterating the offensive line. They go from one hundred and

208
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: seventy two yards a game for six games, including one

209
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five against Cleveland, to just dropping off

210
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: the face of the yards starting with the Colts. Colts, Jets,

211
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: and Eagles have just totally shut them down. So they

212
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: have seen something that all of them must be doing,

213
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: and the Texans are unable to adjust. When the quarterback

214
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: is you're leading rush or three games in a row,

215
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: that's not good. No. And when Deontay Forhman, I can

216
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: understand him being slow and needing to get his legs

217
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: seven carries for minus one yard, but and Miller was out.

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: But Lamar before he got hurt, had three carries for

219
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: eight yards. And you expect Blue to get something. It's

220
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: not the running backs. It's not the backs, it's the blocking.

221
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: And Jacksonville has defensives ranked number five in the leagues.

222
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: So if they're gonna stuff the run and it's all

223
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna be on Watson's shoulders. And if I'm Bill O'Brien

224
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: the play caller, you know he's got to be tempted

225
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: every play to call a plass play and tell him

226
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: if there's no receivers open run, Well, he ran for

227
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Last week, John the Jacksonville Jaguars beating the Colts, Yeah,

228
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: that might have been the weirdest game of the season.

229
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: But it was also weird that they beat the Dolphins

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: the way they did because the Dolphins still had something

231
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: on that they did seventeen to seven. I was stunned.

232
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: I thought that might end up getting Adam Gaze fired

233
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: to go down to Miami, got Tannehill fired reportedly, and

234
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: and Tannehill had been playing really well home. The Dolphins

235
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: have lost a lot of games by double digits. They're

236
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: not like the Texans. Five losses by seven or fewer

237
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: points and three by what three or fewer and they're

238
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: getting beat bad and that's not a good sign. And Jacksonville,

239
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars. Leonard for Ned has been hurt most

240
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: of the year, and they had injuries in their offensive line.

241
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: But if I'm them, I got one position. I need

242
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: to take care of. One position. Of course, that would

243
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: be quarterback, and whether it's Teddy Bridgewater, maybe Joe Flacco,

244
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: maybe Nick Falls If the did the Eagles keep him

245
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: at twenty million off the camp as the backup, I

246
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: don't think so. What if they make the playoffs and

247
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: go on another run and here's another one. It's a

248
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: lot of money. The Bears play the Vikings. I think

249
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna play two weeks in a row. Yeah, and

250
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: they probably want to play two weeks in a row,

251
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: right They don't want to face the Eagles. No, I

252
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: don't think anybody wants to face the Eagles right now.

253
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: I think nobody in the NFC wants to play the Eagles.

254
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Nobody in THENFC wants to play the Cults. I was

255
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: asking my Nashville station today what team would the Texans

256
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: rather win this game between the Titans and the Cults.

257
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: I said, the Texans are gonna say they're not paying attention,

258
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: They're focused on Jacksonville, I said, But every fan in

259
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Houston would rather see the Titans win. They I said,

260
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: I said, they will be huge Titans fans, and let's

261
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: see Andrew Luck or Blaine Gabbert slash Marcus Mariota. And

262
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: I said, Derrick Henry is the biggest part of the offense,

263
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: and the Texans are great against the run. So give

264
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: them Derrick Henry over Andrew Lucky day of the week,

265
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: any day of the week. Twice on Sunday, actually just once.

266
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: But we would love to see the Titans coming here

267
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: instead of the culture absolutely all right. Wide receiver obviously

268
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: an issue here with the injuries and the various Thomas

269
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: unfortunately goes down, but Vincent Smith had that big catch

270
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: last week. DeAndre Carter has been playing well. I don't

271
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: know about QT. I mean, still limited. We'll see if

272
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: he's able to get in there sooner than I mean,

273
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: he's got to be somewhere near able to play at

274
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: least in the post season, otherwise that they would have

275
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: yard him so or they're just taking that chance every week.

276
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how they're thinking, but it'd be great

277
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: to unleash him at some point. Why not this Sunday

278
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: or it's certainly at the latest next week. If he's

279
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: if he's limited, he's not playing. Yeah, you know he's

280
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: got to be. He's got to be going full speed

281
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: and practice. And DeAndre Carter has been a terrific condition,

282
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: not just as a return guy, but he's given him

283
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: some inside juice as a receiver. Now. Vincent Smith six three,

284
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: ran a four threes and is pro day and he

285
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: made a great play on that touchdown catch over Douglas

286
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: keeping his feet in. That's got to give him a

287
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of confidence. It's got to give Watson confidence in him,

288
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: and it's got to give Bill O'Brien confidence in him.

289
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: So I would like to see, because he's big and

290
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: he's fast, send him deep two or three times. Let

291
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: them see how they gonna have one guy run with

292
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: him and a j boya gonna turn and run with him.

293
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Do they have a safety deep because Ramsey thinks he

294
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: can cover Hopkins by himself. But I'd want them especially

295
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: when they get say around the thirty or the thirty five,

296
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: that would be a good time to go deep to

297
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: Smith and let's see if he can fight for the

298
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: ball with that size. Because we know he can run,

299
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: we know he can catch, but does he have ball

300
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: skills at this point. Now, think about how raw he

301
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: was when he came from Limestone College to the big

302
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: leagues and how much he's had to learn. But they

303
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: like him because they've kept him active, and I mean yeah,

304
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: and everybody likes kids. So it's up to Watson to

305
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: get him the ball. I'll bet you that he catches

306
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: three or four passes in this game. Because they're gonna

307
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: devote so much to uh DeAndre Hopkins. What about the

308
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: possibility of them winning and getting all the help they need,

309
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: at least some of the help they need. Do you

310
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: give the Jets a snowball's chance in Foxborough to beat

311
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots? All Right, you're not gonna, darn it. You're

312
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: not gonna give me anything, are you. You're not gonna

313
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: give me any hope in that one, do you? No? Look,

314
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't believe that it's gonna happen, but I think

315
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: that it can happen. I don't think it would be

316
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: the biggest upset of the universe. Sam Darnold has some game.

317
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: The Patriots ran it well last week. That was a

318
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: weird game with Buffalo. You know, I didn't see it

319
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: because they've gone with two backs and they are pounding

320
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: the rocks, which is very interesting when you've got Tom Brady. Yeah,

321
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: because he's banged up. He's got a knee issue. Apparently

322
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: he threw two picks against Buffalo last week, but they

323
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: gave up over two hundred yards rushing. He losing Josh Gordon,

324
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: who was averaging eighteen yards and catch hurt. But if

325
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: the Texans were fortunate enough to win the first round

326
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: game here and go to New England, Yeah, if they're

327
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: ever gonna win in New England, this would seem to

328
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: be a time that this is not a great Patriots team.

329
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: Patriots aren't going on Super Bowl. They've never gone to

330
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl as they had home field advantage. Interesting, well,

331
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: they would go on the road for the AFC Championship

332
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: in all likelihood there could be upsets along the way. John,

333
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: you never know. Are you saying the Chiefs are gonna

334
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: hold Serve at home? I mean that's also historically for them.

335
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: I know they have mahomes now, but historically for them,

336
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: that's been a tall order. The Charger's gonna lose to

337
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Baltimore twice. Maybe Philip Rivers was awful because you're gonna

338
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: have two bad games in a row, but Baltimore gets

339
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: played at home, they had a great defense. Could Baltimore

340
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City and win and beat Patrick Mahomes.

341
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that it's not the Texas, it's the Chiefs.

342
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: I like Andy Reid. I'd love to see them finally

343
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: go love watching, would love writing about Patrick Mahomes and

344
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: some of the stories they have there. And I think

345
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: if New England goes to Kansas City Chiefs to get

346
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: revenge on that game. And then regular season was forty

347
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: three forty I really believe right now, Mark, we're gonna

348
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: see rematches in both championship games Rams at Seattle, I

349
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: mean at New Orleans, I think that was forty two

350
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: to thirty five, something like that. And of course New

351
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: England Casey was forty three to forty That's right. New

352
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: England Casey was a high scoring game. Casey Rams was

353
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: a super high scoring game. So, but that's only possible

354
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl rematch, So we'll see how that goes.

355
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some of the other games here.

356
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: So you don't give the Jets a chance to beat

357
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Sam Darnell has some game, all right, You're

358
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: not you're not even gonna go there. You're not having

359
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: it at all at all. Okay, but some games going

360
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: on with jobs on the line. So the built Thurman

361
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: is safe in Buffa, no doubt about. They're gonna give

362
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: Alan a year to develop the Dolphins. Though you mentioned

363
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Tannehill in the first segment, Tannebaum out in Miami. I

364
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: don't even know what Tannenbaum did there. Chris Greer's the

365
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: GM Adam Gays as a coach. What was Mike Tannenbaum

366
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: doing his self collecting money? I have no I wish

367
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: I could get a job like that, but Jeremy and

368
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: I'll go play golf. Gays is gonna stay. But last

369
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: week's performance was perplexing to me. How you don't play

370
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville unless Jacksonville just has that ability to conjure

371
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: up seventeen to seven. All right, Falcons at Buccaneers. Is

372
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: Winston back in Tampa? Who else will you gonna get?

373
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: I think that that, yes, he'll be back. Dirt Cutter

374
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: will not be back. The question is will general manager

375
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: Jason Like be fired too? Okay, Cowboys at the Giants.

376
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: What's happening in New York with Schrmer and Eli. He's

377
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. And everybody says Eli will be the

378
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: quarterback next season, panther as everyone says. Camps Hurts Ocampbell

379
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: be fine for next year. Ron Rivera will be back.

380
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: He will. I mean he's a good coach. He's a

381
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: good coach. And if he got fired, like if Mike

382
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: Tomlin got fired, they get jobs fast. We mentioned the

383
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: Jets of the Patriots, but what about the coaching situation

384
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: in New York. Todd Bawls is gone, Mike mccagnal will

385
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: be back, and mccagnen drafted Darnel. Darnel has played great,

386
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: played great, played really well against the Texans. He was

387
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: great last week and that Packers shootout. He had over

388
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, no interceptions. I think he had three

389
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. He was tremendous. Jet said they're not interested

390
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: in hardball or they're not going after him. They'll get

391
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: they'll get an offensive oriented coach. Todd Bowles become a

392
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: hot product as a defensive coordinator, as with Steve Wilkes

393
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: when he's fired. Arizona. Okay, good Lions at the Packers.

394
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia not exactly having a great year. He is not.

395
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia has done a bad coaching job. He took

396
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: over nine and seventeen and they're awful. The only good

397
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: things they'll get a high draft choice. He's made a

398
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: lot of enemies there in the media. They don't like him.

399
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: It's just it's not a good situation. He's not gonna

400
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: get fired, but it's just not a good situation in Detroit.

401
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Jake Ruden's safe. In Washington, they're in the market for

402
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you know, without playing four quarterbacks. They just

403
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: now went below five hundred. Yea. I think Gruden will

404
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: be back, even though he's been in the playoffs once

405
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: and hadn't want to play. He's a pretty good coach.

406
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: I just think there's always something wrong there, and maybe

407
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: it's his fault. I don't know, but I think Kirk

408
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Cousins is not as great as people think, and we're

409
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: seeing it this year in Minnesota. They've kind of leveled off.

410
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's all his fault, but it's

411
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 1: interesting to me how that's happening after Minnesota signs him

412
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: to the big deal. So the Eagles at the Redskins,

413
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: obviously they need help to get in if what if

414
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota loses this game to the Bears, Kirk Cousins quarterback,

415
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: and that's his second playoff game, he doesn't win that.

416
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing's gonna happen to Mike Zimmer. But still,

417
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: you give that go all that money to win games

418
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: like this and then they're probably probably gonna go to Chicago.

419
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: And but you don't blow games like this if you're

420
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: making a kind of money. Cousins blew a game two

421
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: years ago against the Giants, right in a game that

422
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: they needed, and the Giants didn't final, which is one

423
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: reason Washington wouldn't pay him. Yeah. Interesting, they lived with him,

424
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: so they know vance Joseph out in temper right, he

425
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: has gone, you know, always gonna look for an offensive

426
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: oriented coach. I'm sure he'll ask his buddy Gary Kubiak

427
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: fees interested, Garylson, No, and then they'll have to go

428
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: find an offensive oriented coach, and then they'll have to

429
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: find a quarterback. They'd be in on the Knick Foles

430
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you know, always been out scouting college

431
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like Crazy's no secret what he wants and he's

432
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: struck out with all of them. Raiders are at the Chiefs,

433
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: So we'll be rooting for the Raiders hard. By the way,

434
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs lose and the Chargers somehow lose, the

435
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Texans get that two seat if they win, and if

436
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots lose to the Jets, if all those things happen,

437
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: you get the one seat shot. So there's that, all right,

438
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: stop so the Raiders anyway, Derek Carr I didn't say

439
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: a word. Is Derek Carr back with the Raiders? Yes,

440
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: Derek carrs actually played pretty well and they found a

441
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: way to work through it with Gruden. I think he

442
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: will be back. Now, what if Gruden decided to trade him,

443
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: and maybe Gruden falls in love with one of these

444
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, and if he does, does he keep him

445
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: and knowing that this guy's Gruden's guy, or do you

446
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: trade him because they get at least to one maybe more.

447
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: Think about it two years ago when the Texans played

448
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: them in twenty sixteen, he was hurt. Did he have

449
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: his new contract then or was it after that season?

450
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: He got it? But he was one of the top

451
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in football, destinating, destined for greatness for ten seasons.

452
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: The game in Mexico car was Brilli He lit it up,

453
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: did a great job, absolutely terrific. Okay, the Browns are

454
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: at the Ravens. Now is Greg Williams gonna be the

455
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: head coach at Cleveland? I think if they were to

456
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: upset the Ravens put the Steelers in the playoffs, they

457
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: would have no alternative to bring back Greg Williams as

458
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: head coach. They want Freddie Kitchens back. His offensive coordinator.

459
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has been playing great. Mayfield has no fear.

460
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: If he went in there and threw three touchdown passes

461
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: and they won over their bitter rival, it wouldn't surprise me.

462
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: But I heard today Roethlisberger's like twenty four, two and

463
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: one against the Browns. But that would be a great

464
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: thing for Cleveland in the NFL. Cleveland's gonna be so

465
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: much fun next year. Forty nine ers at the Rams

466
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: and the Bears are watching that one at the Rams

467
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: Los and they win, they could get a two seed.

468
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to scoreboard, watch and figure out

469
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: how they want to play it with Minnesota because they

470
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: don't want to play the Eagles, who would get in

471
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: if Minnesota loses and the Eagles beat Washington. You're following headache.

472
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: I know. So anyway, the Rams win, but the forty

473
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: nine Ers coaching staff Kyle's back, but what about the

474
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: staff Rob Salah? Rob Sala might be in trouble. You're

475
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: gonna test Kyle Shannon's law to him. He's received a

476
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: lot of criticism. You know that deal they made solom

477
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: to get Solomon Thomas, swap one spot, gave up so

478
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: the Bears could get Traubisky, and they took Solomon Thomas.

479
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: He hadn't done squat Ryan paces at a great It

480
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: was a great draft for him last year, but the

481
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers draft wasn't so good. And that's on

482
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: John Lynch. But I think the work that he's done

483
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: developing Nick Mullins, an undrafted quarterback who's played really well.

484
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: I don't think anything will happen on offense. But Salo,

485
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: Robert Salo used to be here. I could see him

486
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: going and hiring somebody like say Todd Balls or Steve Wilkes,

487
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: one of these former coaches who was a really good

488
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. So Wilkes, he's out one and done, one

489
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: and done, and what has to happen to be one

490
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: and done. It's beyond record because a lot of teams

491
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: have bad records. They're gonna have a number one pick.

492
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: They got the quarterback? Did he hire bad half? Was

493
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: he not a good leader? Well? What was Bob's big

494
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: thing here? Always? Have you lost the locker room? Have

495
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: you lost the locker room? And I don't know if

496
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: that's very easy to assess. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

497
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: But if the feeling of ownership is that the locker

498
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: room is not on board, and especially a first year guy,

499
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: you have to show that, you know, you're the young

500
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: and scrappy Cardinals. And if they're not showing that, then

501
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: forget about it. They've lost a lot of decisive games,

502
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: the Bengals at the Steelers. So what's gonna happen in Cincinnati?

503
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: This office? Marvin Lewis has one year left on his contract.

504
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: He went in last year expecting to be fired and

505
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: got a two year extension. But they've six and they'll

506
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: finish six and ten, I think. But they lost Andy Dalton,

507
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: and I'm just I've been thinking Marvin Lewis is gonna

508
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: be fired for years, So I'm gonna say he's back.

509
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: He's back. They don't want to have to pay him

510
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: off and the Steelers. It's funny because I have a

511
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: lot of friends who are Steelers fans and are down

512
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: on Mike Tomlin right now. It feels amazing they didn't

513
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs one time. Okay, who are they

514
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: gonna get this better? And how's it gonna make him

515
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: feel when Tomlin leaves and goes somewhere else and gets

516
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: a great job, does a great job, all right? Other

517
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: topics I wanted to bring up with you quickly here

518
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. I found it interesting how people were criticizing

519
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: him for not going for it on fourth down, and

520
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, I know, Doug Peterson goes for it

521
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: fourth down. It feels like every time, just let's let's

522
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: keep going for it. Mike Lombardi was on Mad Radio

523
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: and he said something interesting. He said, Peterson doesn't do

524
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: a fault. That's how they lost the Vikings game, you know,

525
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: by going forward too much. And with O'Brien, if you're

526
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: at the forty forty five yard line and you're not

527
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: having a it's not you can't run the four, fourth

528
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: and five. That is not easy. You're giving them the

529
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: ball and they're moving the ball on you. You're giving

530
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: them the ball near midfield. I don't like that at all.

531
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: And as it turned out, they had to lead late.

532
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: They just couldn't close it out on defense. I don't

533
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. I didn't have a problem.

534
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of emails saying O'Brien's clock management.

535
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: It caused the game. And how is that when you

536
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: have the ball you do everything you can to score.

537
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: You're not thinking, Okay, we're gonna score and they're gonna

538
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: get the ball back. You do that in the final minute.

539
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: How about it was third and ten for the go

540
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: ahead touchdown, it's third or third and whatever. It was

541
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: third and long and you gotta go try to either

542
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: get the first down or the touchdown. And you know,

543
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: even in the call, Andre says, maybe they get half

544
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: of it. Here, I understand that. You know, maybe you

545
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: try to get half of it and go for it

546
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: on fourth down. But guess what, they were able to

547
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: take the lead. You give me that every single time,

548
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: and I'll take my chances with Folds on a long field.

549
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for the Texans, Folds was unbelievable that day. John

550
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: That third and tenth row was incredible to the defense

551
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: had stopped him in the first two the left previous

552
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: two series which It'll forced the turnover, Zach Gunningham forced

553
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Jason Reid, recovered touchdown, then touchdown, and they did it

554
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: in like a three minute span twenty one. They had

555
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: the ball two h four when they scored the second one.

556
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: So I don't have a problem with the way it

557
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: worked out. Folds played great, but it worries you're, like

558
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: Romeo Cornell said, they're making too many mental mistakes and

559
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: physical mistakes that they weren't making earlier in the secondary.

560
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: And this is the time, this game against the Jagulls

561
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: Wires is the time they better get it back. Well,

562
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: we said it after the Jet game. They won that game,

563
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: but we said they have to play better this time

564
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: of year. And against Philadelphia on defense, they didn't play

565
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: well enough obviously, and offensively not exactly a balanced effort

566
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: because they couldn't run the ball. But hey, Watson was

567
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: as brilliant as I've ever seen any quarterback play. I

568
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: mean just about in person anyway, that was an incredible performance.

569
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: You'd like to have balance. You don't watch quarterback to

570
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: be you're leading rush for every game. But I believe

571
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: and I know you do too, and I would imagine

572
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: most people listening. As long as Watson has the ball

573
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: in his hands, they've got a chance to beat anybody anywhere.

574
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: But if he scores like he did in Philadelphia, New England, Seattle,

575
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: and you put time on the board, you don't know

576
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. You'd love for him to get that

577
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: last touchdown with five seconds left, but he's They're capable

578
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: of beating anybody, especially this year when there's no great

579
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: dominant teams. John, what do you have going out in

580
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: the chronicle? I'm writing about for tomorrow, Mark about how

581
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: how can a defense be so great against the run

582
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: and so bad against the past? Aaron Wilson, who wrote

583
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: a great story on Vincent Smith today, has one for tomorrow.

584
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: And jadeveon Clowney and we'll have a whole bunch more

585
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday in our preview package. Who's popped up for

586
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: Sunday it's Texans All Access here in the Hunday Texans

587
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: Radio studio and popped up for tonight with the Bowl

588
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: game Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas Bowl. You have Baylor,

589
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: you have Vanderbilt. You have two teams cutting it out

590
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: for a winning campaign tonight in this building, and the

591
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: game's only gonna take about five hours. I'm kidding, But

592
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: college football. I love college football. Look, I came from

593
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: college football to the NFL. I love college football. One

594
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: little complaint, am I allowed to let's talk radio. I

595
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: can complain, and it's kind of what it's for, right.

596
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: Just change the clock. Please go to more of an

597
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: NFL like clock. Do not stop the clock for first downs.

598
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: I get another complaint, but I'll get to that in

599
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: a moment. The other thing is you can run the

600
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: clock or actually stop the clock on first downs inside

601
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: the final two minutes of the game. How about that

602
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: college football. In fact, that's a rule change that I've

603
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: long supported in the NFL. I know that's kind of crazy.

604
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people would think I'm nuts. So maybe

605
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: we don't have to do that in the NFL. But

606
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: in college football, run the clock on first downs other

607
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 1: than the final two minutes. In college football, when your

608
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: team is down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter with

609
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: like ten minutes to go, you have an eternity. In

610
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: the NFL that clock churns. It's like a bad dream.

611
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: When you have a deficit now I know the Texans

612
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: have this quick strike capability like they did against Philadelphia.

613
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, heck, it was just over five minutes to go.

614
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: They were down two touchdowns and they grabbed the lead

615
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: with two o four to go. It happened so fast,

616
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: and Philly had the ball, wasn't a turnover or anything.

617
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: They had four downs. So it's just kind of a

618
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: strange deal with this Houston Texans team. Strange in that

619
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: we're not used to that quick strike capability. They've never

620
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: really had that. I mean until now, they've never really

621
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: been a downfield throwing team as often as they are now.

622
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: I know they led the league in passing yards at

623
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: O nine and they were one of the top offenses

624
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: for a few years in the Kubiak era. But the

625
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: wave Watson looks downfield all the time. The way he improvises,

626
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: it's just so much fun to watch. He's so electric. Boy,

627
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: Every conversation I have about this team sort of morphs

628
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: into a conversation involving Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins in

629
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: the offense as well as the defense can play and

630
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: they know they need to play better against the pass

631
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: if they're going to advance on the postseason. It's also

632
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: weird to be able to talk about the postseason, but

633
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: you have a game to go that means something. Two

634
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: years ago, they played at Tennessee. They had already clinched

635
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: the AFC South, but the game wasn't going to help

636
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: them in the standings, so it was kind of an

637
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: awkward deal. You go into a meaningless regular season finale,

638
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: just like they had a twenty eleven a meaningless regular

639
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: season finale against Tennessee here at NRG. That was the

640
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Jake the Loam game. Yates played what one series in

641
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: that game went four for four. Then Delone played actually

642
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: pretty well. Sometimes I think about that, what if they

643
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: had started the loom in the postseason they beat the

644
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: Bengals with Yates. Yates did not play well against the

645
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens on the road. Boy, I'm all over the

646
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: place anyway, you know what I'm thinking about. It just

647
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: popped into my head today. This is going to mean

648
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: something only to those of you who are a little

649
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: more seasoned as television viewers, and by seasoned I mean older,

650
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: Because it just popped into my head. I was getting

651
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: fired up for this weekend's games, particularly the one here,

652
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: but also some of the other ones that could mean

653
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: something very big for the Houston Texans. And the old

654
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: NFL Today theme popped into my head and I love it.

655
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, everyone always thinks about old NFL TV music

656
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: as the Monday Night football theme, but the NFL Today

657
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: with Brent Musburger and Jimmy the Greek and Earth Cross

658
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: and until us George, it was huge. You are looking

659
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: live and veteran stadium. I mean, this one used to

660
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: get you all fired up on a Sunday, and so

661
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: I just thought i'd play that, because what the heck,

662
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing here? It's talk radio,

663
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: It's the Houston Texans, and we'll get John Harris back

664
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: in here in just a few moments in Deep City

665
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: as well. But I just thought i'd bring that up

666
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: before we get to some other stuff, including a special

667
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: little miniature version, an abbreviated modified version of Houston Methodist

668
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: Minutes on Hamstrings, because there's one significant one on the

669
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: team that we really need to talk about. We really

670
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: need to talk about it. In fact, I'll mention it

671
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: right now as I bring up the injury report for

672
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: today limited participation once again Kiki QT with the hamstring.

673
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: That's the injury. I'm going to discuss tonight with Houston

674
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: Methodist minutes, doctor David Braun writer. Other guys who are limited.

675
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: Johnny gave this to you yesterday, Andre how Brandon Dundee,

676
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: Andre Hopkins, Kareem Jackson, Jonathan Joseph, and Ardric McKinney, JJ

677
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: Watt limited in practice. I think every one of those guys,

678
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: with the possible exception of QT and maybe Done, will

679
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: play on Sunday. But I could be wrong. I don't know.

680
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: Maybe Kareem doesn't play, but I could be you know,

681
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: I could be right. I could be wrong. I don't know.

682
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: They were limited. They weren't out of practice officially, so

683
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: anything's possible. But full participation today. Cumington went from limited

684
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: to full with the knee injury. Here's the big one.

685
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller full participation with the ankle injury. He was

686
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: limited yesterday. He's full today. That is good also, And

687
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: this is kind of one of those under the radar

688
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: sort of injury tidbits. Mike Tyson, the defensive back, not

689
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: the boxer, who has made play for the Texas this

690
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: year on special teams. He is full participation, full go

691
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: today after being limited yesterday with the concussion, So that

692
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: leads you to believe that he's a okay with the concussion,

693
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: although I believe that after the full practice he gets

694
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: checked out again. So I'm not going to say he's

695
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: a full go to player now, but it was good

696
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: to see that he was a full participant in practice.

697
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: In any case, as far as the Jaguars go, this

698
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: is interesting. Leonard Fournett went down to a DNP did

699
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: not participate after being limited yesterday with ankle and foot problems.

700
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes for him. Heading it to Sunday,

701
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: and this is a brand new entry on the Jaguar

702
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: injury report. Limited Tayshaun Gibson with a foot problem. Now

703
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: he was nowhere to be found on the injury report yesterday,

704
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: which leads you to believe something happened during practice. So

705
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: there you have it. In fact, I'm not saying it's this,

706
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: but very often, if you leave practice but you participated

707
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: during sum of practice and you got injured during practice,

708
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: you can be listed as limited and you know, for

709
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: all we know he's out for the season. So very

710
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: often you just don't get the full bit of information there.

711
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: I haven't even checked Twitter on that, so I've rambled

712
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: too long. All right, what about this hamstring injuries? Qt's

713
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: got one. It was a big happening for this team

714
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: in a bad way, a big happening. For a long

715
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: time this season they were plagued by hamstrings. I think

716
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: QT is the only one now still listed with a hamstring.

717
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm taking a look right now. Yes he is, and

718
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 1: let's hope he can get back soon. But here's doctor

719
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: David Broadwriter, a Houston methodist, what goes down during a

720
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Well, hamstring is a really strong muscle. It's

721
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: in the back of the side, connects the hip to

722
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: the knee, and it helps extend the hip and bend

723
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: the knee. And it's a very powerful muscle that's involved

724
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: in decelerating and pushing off. When it gets injured it

725
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: it can actually happen when the foot's planted hard and

726
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: as you're kicking off of the knees fully extended, and

727
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: you can do anything from a stretch to a thickness

728
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: tear and create them from one to three, with one

729
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: being a very minor stretch in three being the worst

730
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: case scenario. Most of them that we're going to see

731
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: you're going to be in this great two category. All right.

732
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: More from broad Writer Doctor David Broad Writer on hamstring injuries.

733
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: Why doesn't this occur to more weekend warriors? Why is

734
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: it such an athlete thing and you see problems with

735
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: NBA players and of course NFL players. Why is that

736
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: the case? So typically this is an injury that requires

737
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: a lot of high level stress or strength that is

738
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: not really done when you're ringing on a treadmiller or

739
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: working out in the gym. Is typically an explosive sprint

740
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: for a stop start or a jump. It is probably

741
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: why we don't see it very often in the average person.

742
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: What's the best prevention for a hamstring injury? Probably warming

743
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: up properly and maybe having a good strengthening program in

744
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: between events if you're participating in events, but keeping up

745
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: with a good flexibility and strength program is good. Yes

00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: so myself. All right, Next up, John Harris, what are

770
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: the Jags really like? What's really going on inside the

771
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: lines here with this football team? Let's go back to

772
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: last week, one of the more perplexing results of the year.

773
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: They maybe not the result itself, but the way it

774
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: unfolded is Dolphins versus Jacksonville in Miami. Dolphins alive for

775
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: the postseason. Ryan Tannehill playing for his career, and they

776
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: put up seven points against Jacksonville. Now, I'll go with

777
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: you on this. Two and two in the last four

778
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: the Jags, the two wins they hold opponents to zero

779
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: and seven teams that are alive for the postseason. The

780
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,479
Speaker 1: Colts they blanked six nothing. They have the two games

781
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: in between. The Redskins game was a slot fest that

782
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: I know, Josh Johnson and the miracle win for the

783
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: Redskins and all of that. They still play some d

784
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: this Jacksonville team. So what about that game against Miami though,

785
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: I just cannot figure that one out. Yeah, it's really

786
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: it's kind of strange. They did. They won seventeen to seven.

787
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: They tacked on the last seven on a pick six

788
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: by Telvin Smith. And what I thought was weird about

789
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: is I flipped the game on really not knowing anything

790
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: about the game because I was not I was not

791
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: really paying attention to it much during the day I

792
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: was kind of following, and I heard Dre do the

793
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: score updates, and I would see the score up there.

794
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: I was kind of watching the Colts game more. I

795
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: was kind of following, Okay, what's happening there. So then

796
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: when I flipped the game on, I'm expecting Miami to

797
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: come out and be slow. And they go the first

798
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: drive right down the field seventy five yards hot knife

799
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: through butter like wow, didn't score again, didn't sniff it again.

800
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: They had operate well. They did. One time they missed

801
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: a field goal, they would have put them up ten

802
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: to seven. But the flip side of that offensively is

803
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: Jacksonville didn't do much. Jacksonville had one field goal with

804
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: Ala on a Blake Bortles drive. They had a touchdown

805
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: on a Kessler drive earlier, and Kessler got banged up.

806
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: Then Josh Wells, the right to Baco, got banged up.

807
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: They had to move Patrick Ommay out from guard to

808
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: tackle and Shatley win a guard. I mean, they're beat

809
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: up on the offensive line. There's nothing with Scott Blanovitz

810
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: is the new offensive coordinator that changes really from Nathaniel Hackett.

811
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean there's really, there's really nothing, and he's not

812
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: working with a whole lot of he's probably change the

813
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: offense that can tweak it. There's not there's not much

814
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: you can do. But look, this is a This is

815
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: one of those games where Jacksonville's Doug Morone could walk

816
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: over to Romeo Cornell and give him the game plans

817
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: that here, here's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're

818
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna do, here's our get here are plays. Here we go,

819
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: you know, because you know what they're gonna do. Right,

820
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: They're gonna turn a hand at Leonard Fournett, they're gonna

821
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: hand it to Carlos Hide. They're gonna try and throw

822
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: some some bubble screens, and then they're gonna read with portals, yes,

823
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 1: and the exactly and that's the other one. They're gonna

824
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: run his own read with portals. Very first play when

825
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: he came in, uh seven to seven, when he came

826
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: into game, what's the very first play they ran zone

827
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: read twelve yard first down. So you've got to be

828
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: well aware of that. You've got to take away Blake

829
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: Bortles as a runner. And that was my first that

830
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: was my first key when I wrote my Know Your

831
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: Foe The first key stop Blake Bortles the running back.

832
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: You gotta stop them. You gotta eliminate that, and don't

833
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: let Fournette either get outside right because or hide or

834
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: whoever is running the ball for them. They're not getting

835
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: yards up the middle against the texts they should. They

836
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to get any push. You've got to

837
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: be very disciplined about what it is you're doing. But

838
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: what's gonna help Fournette. I think this week is that

839
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: zone read that you do have to respect it, but

840
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: there are some ways that you can do some things

841
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: to make the reads difficult for Blake. The Texans have

842
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: done that before on him. They have used Clowney in particular,

843
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: in a couple of different ways, a couple of different

844
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: techniques that he has to play the zone read. They're

845
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: gonna have to use those. They're gonna have to be

846
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: well aware of that when he's in shotgun and Fournette's

847
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: When Fournette is is opposite you or on your side,

848
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: you got to know there's a possibility he could be

849
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: he could be running the zone read. Blake could back

850
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: at you. So you gotta be disciplined against that. But

851
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the one reason they're going back to

852
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: Bortles is that Cody Kesler when the zone read's not

853
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: a factor, Cody's gonna be a drop back guy, and

854
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: he's dropping back beyond an offensive line that's just not

855
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: worthy of playing in the NFL right now. It's just

856
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: really tough group in the Dolphins. The Dolphins, who can't

857
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: really rush the passer at all, were able to get

858
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: back to him like four or five times, so he

859
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: got banged up in large part because of that. Bortles

860
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: comes in now they're able to move a little bit

861
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: because of some of those things. Talking about zone read,

862
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: four Net runs a couple of quick screens, and that's

863
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: really what the offense was. I mean, like I said,

864
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: Dug Morron could hand the game plan to Romeo and

865
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: say here, this is what we're gonna run. You know it,

866
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna do. Boys, have at it. Jacksonville.

867
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: What a spectacular failure though with Bortles this year because

868
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: they resigned him. They're coming off the AFC Championship Game appearance.

869
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: I really thought that Bortles had turned a corner after

870
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: seeing him against the Texans twice last year. You never

871
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: mind everything else and they go to the AFC Championship game.

872
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: That was a wild game with Pittsburgh got them there

873
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: and they score in the forties. Yes they did. I

874
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: just checked it out. And against the Patriots they had

875
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: some opportunities. There's the infamous let's sit on the ball

876
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: with like a minute plus to go before the half,

877
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: try to just drain clock. What are you doing? You

878
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: have to find a way to score points against New England.

879
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: You cannot try to get out of the game before

880
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: the half. You can't get out of the game with

881
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: four minutes to go against the Patriots. You have to

882
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: keep control of the football. So anyway, the situation at

883
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: quarterback for Jacksonville, they're gonna have a new one next year.

884
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: What about the Dolphins though with Tannehill, and I talked

885
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: about this with the general or earlier. Tannehill gone from

886
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: Miami after the season. That's the report. That's not a

887
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: big surprise. Now they're gonna take the hit and move on.

888
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: But it just hasn't worked out for him. The entire

889
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: state of Florida is probably gonna have a change of quarterback.

890
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: You think Winston two in Tampa could very well being

891
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean could very well be in the draft. It

892
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: sounds is I mean, if you're dirt cutter in your head, coach,

893
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: and it sounds as if they're gonna bring dirt back. Okay,

894
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: you got one more year. Are you gonna entrust Jamis

895
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 1: Winston for one more year? Yeah? I just that that's

896
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: a tough one to where are you're going with this guy? Exactly?

897
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: The point look at it this way. These are three

898
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: top ten picks at quarterback in the state of Florida,

899
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: and they're all gonna be gone. Yep. Absolutely. And the

900
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: thing is is every team had an opportunity to draft

901
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback this past year and didn't do it. Jacksonville,

902
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: even down at number thirty, he had the opportunity to

903
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: draft Lamar Jackson, didn't do it. Tampa Bay was sitting

904
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 1: in the top ten. They could have drafted I believe

905
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: they could have drafted Josh Rosen, they could have drafted

906
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Didn't do it. Um. You know, in the Dolphins,

907
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: they went ahead and took Minca Fitzpatrick and they had

908
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity also to do Lamar Jackson. They had some ammunition.

909
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: They could have traded up and done some different things

910
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: as well, but they didn't do it, and now they're

911
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: all sitting there. And the reason I think this last

912
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: draft was probably the year to do it is you're

913
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: now looking at an offseason in free agency that's gonna

914
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: it's going to include more thanlikely Nick Foles. It's you

915
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: don't know about Eli just yet, right, And this is

916
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: all kind of tied together, tied to my point, you

917
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: probably could trade for Teddy Bridgewater, but you're probably gonna

918
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: have to give up a one or the Saints are

919
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: so happy about this. Yeah, And the and then the

920
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: NFL Draft just took a hit from the quarterback position

921
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: because Justin Herbert decided to stay at Oregon oregan one year,

922
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: which was long. That was thought from the beginning that

923
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: he would stay in the year. His brother's coming to

924
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: Oregon as a as an incoming freshman, and they thought

925
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: they wanted to play together for a year, And so

926
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: that's been the thought all along. Is that a good

927
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: decision for Herbert? Well, he would have been the number

928
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: one He would have been a number one quarterback. Yeah,

929
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: and at that point probably the number one pick Mariota

930
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: would have been as well if he came out of fourteen.

931
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: And the thought is that he will end up being

932
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: either the first or second guy off the board in

933
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Now the difference is in twenty nineteen, he's

934
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: now going to be assessed with Jake from and To

935
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: a Tonga viola, So there are at least two other

936
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be in that mix with him, right,

937
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: kind of like Matt Liner was, if if Lyner did

938
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: come out of the year he was supposed to the

939
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: year that he didn't, he decided to go back. But

940
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: if he had come out after his junior year, after

941
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: he won the high spew to the number one pick,

942
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: no questions asked, The forty niners were taken, Matt Liner

943
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: and Nott Alex Smith. Matt Liner the number one pick,

944
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: he goes back, he ends up being the tenth pick.

945
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: When you go back, you end up subjecting yourself to

946
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: another year of dissection and all that kind of stuff.

947
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: But sometimes it plays out in your favor that I

948
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: end up with a better team, better situation. Sometimes absolutely,

949
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: Vinch Young being exactly you know exhibit A. He gonna

950
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: come out of after the bowl game against Michigan as

951
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: a redshirt sophomore, but he went back, had a great year,

952
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: ends up being the pick to Tennessee. So all of that.

953
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: What all of that does, and why I bring all

954
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: that up is you're sort of hamstrung in some sense

955
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 1: because if you're Miami, you're gonna finish with the record.

956
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: The worst you're gonna finish just seven and nine. Seven

957
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: and nine probably puts you thirteen fourteen. Maybe you got nothing,

958
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: You've got no, you're gonna have to go to free

959
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: agent route if you want a quarterback, ye, or you're

960
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to go trade for Teddy Bridgewater. And the

961
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: Saints are sitting there going, look, we got a possible

962
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning team. We don't have. The Saints don't

963
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: have a first round PI because they gave it up

964
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: for Marcus Davenport, but they've got this asset and Teddy

965
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: Bridgewater that everybody in the league is gonna want. What

966
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: they trade for Bridgewater, I think a third geez. I

967
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: think it was a third investment exactly. It's exactly what

968
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: it was. It was investment in a backup quarterback during

969
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: a season in which they're really good, yep, and investment

970
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 1: for trade currency later on they get a draft choice

971
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: out of it. And you're right, they have to make

972
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: that back up after the Davenport acquisition in the trade,

973
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: so in the draft, So good for them. I just

974
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: it blows my mind, though, the lack of vision for

975
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: some of these teams, especially Jacksonville because Kessler. I understand

976
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: it if Jacksonville had a Lamar Jackson in the wings

977
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: or something, you know, some sort of and Lamar Jackson

978
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: might be too much to ask. But a project who

979
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: might have a lot of upside, let's just I don't

980
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: know who that would be. It's not Kessler, though, And

981
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 1: they put Kessler in there and their season just continues

982
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: to go down the tubes. I guess they were so

983
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: disappointed with Bortles that they had to make that move.

984
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: So Bortles will be here with the Jaguars. This is

985
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: a resume game for him. This is game tape for

986
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: whatever team he ends up playing for in twenty nineteen,

987
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: and it's not going to be as a starting quarterback.

988
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: He'll be a backup in this league. Tannehill will be

989
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: a backup in this league. Maybe they get an opportunity

990
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: to win a job somewhere. But man, this is a

991
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: tough road. You know. It just makes you so grateful

992
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: to be where you are now. As a franchise. The

993
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: Houston Texans have a quarterback now. Having said that, you know,

994
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how they feel about Weedon going forward

995
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: or whatever, but I bet that Brian Gaine and Bill

996
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: O'Brien are thinking we need some insurance too, and maybe

997
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: a project behind Weedon or maybe Weeden's got. I don't

998
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: know what they're thinking at this point, but they clearly

999
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: have the starter and that is fantastic news. Yeah. Absolutely.

1000
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: And you know, the teams that went out and got

1001
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year, all five of them started, All five

1002
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: of them have shown they deserve first round accolades and

1003
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: that they are the future for their teams. I mean,

1004
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: even Josh Rosen down in Arizona struggled a bit with

1005
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 1: not a whole lot around him, especially in the offensive line,

1006
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: but he's had some good moments. Look at what the

1007
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: little bars doing with with Baltimore. I mean, you feel

1008
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: good if you've got the future in front of you.

1009
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: But what do you do if you're in Washington? What

1010
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: do you do? If you're in Tampa Bay? Do you

1011
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: hang on to Winston because you know that the pickings

1012
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: are gonna be slim? Jacksonville? What do you do? For

1013
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: you to Giants. And that's why I think the Giants

1014
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: might hang on the ELI for another year because there

1015
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: just isn't another answer and a few answers. There's nobody though.

1016
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at all right, look at that division,

1017
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: Washington and the Giants that they let go of ELI.

1018
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's loaded at quarterback right down, so they'll have to

1019
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: address the full situation. Look at the AFC East, Well,

1020
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: you're definitely gonna have one vacancy in Miami. Yeah, but

1021
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: that's it there. Look at the AFC South, Bortles. The

1022
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: rest of the division is okay, Mario, it is gonna

1023
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: be back in Tennessee, and he'll look. I think that

1024
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: he's got still a lot to learn, but he can

1025
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: make some plays and they're on the verge of going

1026
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: to the postseason. Now he might not get to play much,

1027
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: but we'll see how that plays out. All right, help

1028
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: me out with this, because on Tuesday, it's New Year's Day.

1029
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do a Fudruckers Texans players show because

1030
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 1: it's New Year's Day. Although I thought people would come,

1031
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: but it's a holiday, so you never know, and then

1032
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: you have to staff it. So never mind, we're not

1033
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna do it. We'll be on the air, though, we

1034
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: will be on the air with plenty of fun. But

1035
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to do something like this where we go

1036
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: over certain moments of the calendar year for the Texans

1037
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: because the regular season will be in the books, so

1038
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: the early returns. John, what's the moment of the year

1039
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans, Not the play of the year,

1040
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: the moment of the year. What is it? You could

1041
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: have multiples at this point. Okay, let's just let's just

1042
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: throw him out there. But to me, the no doubter

1043
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 1: moment of the year is drey Howe coming back from cancer.

1044
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good moment of the year. Like that,

1045
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you go wrong with that? I mean,

1046
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: with with Jacksonville coming up, I think a lot of

1047
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: people will think automatically about Jacksonville and think of the bus,

1048
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 1: think about the bus trip, which I think is up

1049
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,479
Speaker 1: there as well, by the way, And I know, I know, buzz,

1050
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a couple of more. You're gonna be like,

1051
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I know, I know. But that was

1052
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: also the week that Drey Holle came back from cancer,

1053
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: and it was also the week earlier that week, his

1054
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: dad had passed away. So he was playing that Sunday

1055
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, and I remember the Texans started in Nickel

1056
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: and so he was out on the field on Nickel

1057
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: and it was like, WHOA drey Holle is back playing football. Yeah,

1058
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: it was just that was that to me. It was

1059
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: a pretty dust standing and he was Courage Award winner

1060
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: is yeah him that came that news came out today

1061
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: and I was fantastic. I mean, he deserves it. I

1062
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: mean it's it's incredible. But the bus trip to Jacksonville

1063
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: Ford Sean, I mean, I think is that's that's a

1064
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big one too. Lamar Miller ninety seven

1065
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: yard run on RCM, Now, yeah, that's pretty good Monday

1066
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: Night football beating the Titans. That's pretty good. I mean

1067
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: that game, that whole game. I think that we'll remember

1068
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: that no matter what happens in the postseason, we'll remember

1069
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: that for a long time. I mean, obviously, you know,

1070
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: mister McNair passes away three days prior, then you have

1071
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: you beat the former Oilers and you have a ninety

1072
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,240
Speaker 1: you have the longest play from scrimmage and franchise history. Yeah,

1073
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: I like that as a candidate, spinner Rama. I mean,

1074
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go Spineramas, I mean when I did

1075
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: my Ultimate eleven for replay, I did. I did the

1076
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: ultimate eleven plays, not including the Philadelphia game because there

1077
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: would have been one, maybe two plays from the Philadelphia

1078
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: GA that would have made the offensive real, but the

1079
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: ultimate eleven and the all through eleven offense and defensive plays.

1080
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: Number number one offense was Spinerama, right, what was the

1081
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: number one and my ultimate eleven defensive plays? I know

1082
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't remember what you SA said. Yeah,

1083
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go fumble an indie. Oh, very important, But

1084
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: no what Jjo picks six against Buffalo Hue? That was?

1085
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: That was massive. I mean that's a that that game

1086
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: was lost. That game was lost. Of all the games

1087
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: that we have played this year that have been very

1088
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: very close, that the game was lost. I mean it

1089
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: was flat out done over, Like, how are we gonna

1090
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: drive ninety two yards on these guys? How are we

1091
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: gonna driving seventy two yards? And these guys they've been

1092
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: killing us all day? And then Watson goes deep PI

1093
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: kick a field goal, tie game, and then he wins it.

1094
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: With the pick six. Yeah, I mean I had to

1095
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: find a way to make a stop if not the

1096
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: pick six, and they get to pick six. So that

1097
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: was a beautiful thing to see. Yeah, that was that

1098
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: the ninety seven yard run. Though I remember the sequence,

1099
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: the sequence of events, sort of like with Spinerama too.

1100
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: Zach Cuttingham plays a major role in that because on

1101
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: the third one stop, he gets on Zeke Elliott forces

1102
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys the punt, and then on the fourth and

1103
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 1: one they stopped Luke Stocker inside the five yard line

1104
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: or inside the three at the three. They stop him

1105
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: at the three, and there's a great shot of mind

1106
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,959
Speaker 1: at football right overhead shot and you see Stocker run

1107
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: and then it's like he hits a wall and goes nowhere.

1108
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: And then the very next play I just remember thinking

1109
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: because that was one week after Washington and the one

1110
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: yard pick six. This was in two plays, but it

1111
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: had kind of the same feeling. It was like they're

1112
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: about to score and then you stop him and then

1113
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: take it the very next play. It's a gut punch

1114
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: and a half. But that dre how coming back from

1115
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: cancer and the Monday night game against Tennessee when we

1116
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: celebrated OURCM. It was I mean it was, it was incredible.

1117
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: I remember the locker room that night. Uh, Damarius had

1118
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: cut two touchdowns because against Washington he didn't have any

1119
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: targets and then he had two touchdowns in the Tennessee game,

1120
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: and I just remember talking to him the locker room

1121
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: and there was just so there was such joy for

1122
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: him being part of He just smiled the whole interview.

1123
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he just smiled the whole interview and just

1124
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: love being part of this team. He'll still be a

1125
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: part of this team no matter what. But that was

1126
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: another moment in Denver when he played that first game.

1127
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: I've never seen more cameras on the field by our

1128
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: locker room than when he was coming out for that

1129
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: game against Denver. Yeah, it was amazing. There were so

1130
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: many people on the field just to see him. And

1131
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 1: his family was on the field too to see him play,

1132
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: and they were all wearing Texans gear. Oh. I mean,

1133
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: it was just and one of the moments that note

1134
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: that we happened to see because of where the buses

1135
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: were and he was out, he was out by the

1136
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: bus and he was just holding court with Peyton manning.

1137
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: Peyton and Demarus just out talking and Demarius was picking

1138
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: up Peyton's kids, Marshall. He's holding Marshall at one point

1139
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: and talking to him, and it was just it was

1140
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: really cool. It's like two you know, two brothers, and

1141
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: and you know that's the thing about football, you know,

1142
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: guys come from all these different walks to life, and

1143
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: you know what the Marys said to go through with

1144
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: his family and early in his life. And then you've

1145
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: got Peyton who came from a much different realm. But

1146
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: then they meet their teammates, they win championships together in

1147
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: the foxhole together, Yeah, and and the bond is created.

1148
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: It was just really cool. There were so many people around,

1149
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: it was amazing. We were kind of up in a

1150
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: bus and we kind of elevated so we could see it.

1151
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: But you saw people with phones. They were kind of

1152
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: standing over the phrase just trying to get pictures of it.

1153
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: But they're just a lot of there. There are a

1154
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: lot of memories like that that I'll have throughout this

1155
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: year that have been really good. And thankfully it's going

1156
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: to keep going beyond this game no matter what. I

1157
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: just hope that we can do it. I don't I

1158
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: don't know if the players feel this way, but going

1159
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: to the playoffs would be great. But just being able

1160
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: to put a hat a T shirt on Sunday in

1161
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: the locker room to say AFC South Champs after all

1162
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: they've been through, that would be really cool. How to

1163
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: get it done? What was the wind that made you

1164
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: feel best during the year? Oh, and again, I'm gonna

1165
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: go through these on Tuesday, have nominees and really make

1166
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: an official because lives are hanging in the balance. Yeah,

1167
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: but I know a lot of people like to talk

1168
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: about this stuff with the calendar year coming to an end. Yeah,

1169
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: the win it made me. Wow. It's a hard one

1170
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: to pick because the streak hard. Win the Super Bowl

1171
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: and look, that'll be talked about through eternity. But you'll

1172
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: you'll always look back on this season and say, nine

1173
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: games in a row after oh and three? Yeah, I mean,

1174
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, And I've said it before. I did expect

1175
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: the team to play a lot better because those were

1176
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: close losses. I expected them to win games. I didn't

1177
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: expect nine in a row to follow oh and three.

1178
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, for me, I think it was Dallas.

1179
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the same thing, just the elation

1180
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: of beating and that was only the second one in

1181
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: the streak. But the elation of beating the Cowboys on

1182
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football and the way it happened with the

1183
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: spinerama so necessary to win that you only get them

1184
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 1: every four years, and you wanted to crush them. You

1185
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: didn't crush them, but you beat them, you edged them out.

1186
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty good Dallas team, as it turns out, not awesome.

1187
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: But hey, you know that's another thing about this year.

1188
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: When you played Denver. Yeah, I know it wasn't They

1189
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: weren't great, and they actually won three in a row

1190
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: after you did beat them. But you beat a decent

1191
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Denver team. They were decent at the time. I think

1192
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: they've taken their hits injury or wise. They just haven't

1193
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: played as well. When you played the Redskins, they were

1194
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: six and three and you ended their season all but

1195
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,919
Speaker 1: because you knocked Alex Smith out and they struggled from there.

1196
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: A lot of Buffalo was playing really good d and

1197
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: they still are. There's still a very good defense. They

1198
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: gave it up on the ground against the Patriots last week,

1199
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: but they were doing some damage. Look at what's happened

1200
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: with Dallas. Look now, these are the wins, and then

1201
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: you look at the losses. Look at the Eagles. No

1202
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: one wants to play that team right now. They are

1203
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: smoking hot. They might miss the postseason, probably will because

1204
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: it's in the Bears hands whether they get in or now.

1205
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: Because the Bears have to beat Minnesota along with the

1206
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Eagles needing to beat Washington. My Bears want to be

1207
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: part of the Eagles. Nobody does at this point. No.

1208
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi was on six ten and he said, don't

1209
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: don't think that the Bears don't understand what's going on here.

1210
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: They know that it's gonna be extremely difficult to beat

1211
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles. So if they lose to the Vikings, they

1212
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: get to play the Vikings again. Think about this. Texans

1213
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: are ten and five, five losses right right. They lost

1214
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: to Tennessee and Indy, but then they beat Tennessee, Indy, yep.

1215
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Three other losses. The two teams that went to the

1216
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year, you lost on the road in

1217
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: both their places, close close, and the one that just

1218
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: mystifies as the Giants. I mean, it's like what they

1219
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: were gonna validate everything by beating the Colts last week

1220
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: and finish the job. Yeah, I guess that's too strong

1221
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: a word. Dallas. Dallas was an amazing one. Um. That

1222
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: was as hard a hitting It was as hard a

1223
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: hitting game as I've ever seen. I mean, you know,

1224
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: there's no Deshaun took a beating that night. And I

1225
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: mean it was it was all in the in the

1226
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: in wanted to make plays. I mean, that's that's really

1227
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: what it was. You know, they couldn't score it out

1228
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: of the red zone. They couldn't get that done. But

1229
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: yet the way that it happened with Hopkins making that play,

1230
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: I would think it's Dallas or it's Tennessee. Those are

1231
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: those are the two. My favorite. My favorite is probably

1232
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: the Jets, as crazy as that sounds on the road,

1233
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: Hopkins big catch, yeah, um, you know, just for me,

1234
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: I got a chance to see my nephews, hadn't seen

1235
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: them in a while, and got to hang out with

1236
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: them on the night before. And then it's an afternoon game,

1237
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: so get a good run in all that kind of stuff.

1238
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: And then you're playing and met life, you're playing the Jets.

1239
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: They're in it. So the Jts Jets chant oh gosh,

1240
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: and then Hopkins makes that play on the Watson throw.

1241
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Then you have that drive after that. I mean, it's

1242
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: just that was that was a really fun one. And

1243
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: we probably won't mention that one much because it was

1244
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, but it's on the road against them, it's

1245
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: New York. It was went on the Saturday. I mean,

1246
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: it was just I love that one. But but Tennessee

1247
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: and Dallas. The Tennessee one, I remember you and I

1248
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: talked about the very next day. We talked about kind

1249
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: of how we felt about that, and it was such

1250
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: it was such a tough night because of what had

1251
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend with Bob and losing him, and

1252
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: just I kept looking up at the board and I

1253
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: kept seeing the video of him and I was like,

1254
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: it was so hard to believe that he was gone.

1255
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: But yet the team went out there and fell behind

1256
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,919
Speaker 1: ten nothing, fell behind ten nothing, and then thirty four

1257
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 1: to seven over the next you know, how many ever

1258
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: minutes a game. I mean, it was it was just

1259
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a thorough thrashing of them, which

1260
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 1: I absolutely love. And I'll tell you what, I wouldn't

1261
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: mind seeing them in the playoffs. Just well, that was

1262
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: the most complete victory, right I think, so, I think

1263
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: it was over Cleveland, And I brought this up before,

1264
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: power rating wise, that's a pretty good win right now

1265
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: because Cleveland is going good. That first half was as

1266
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: dominant as they've been all year. I could not say

1267
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: that Cleveland. It's it's no fork on conclusion that Cleveland's

1268
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna lose to Baltimore on the road this weekend. I mean,

1269
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Ravens need the game. You bet against Baker Mayfield at

1270
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: any point, No, No, I'm not gonna do it. I

1271
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: mean I wouldn't want to have to bet that game.

1272
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: But I look at the Ravens and Cleveland, and yeah,

1273
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: I know the Ravens are doing some great things, especially

1274
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: on defense, and Lamar Jackson's unpredictable and he's making a

1275
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: lot of plays, but so is Mayfield and the Browns.

1276
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: They've known that it's a long shot at best, slim

1277
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: and none that they make the postseason. They're just playing

1278
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: these games like their bowl games every week and having

1279
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: a good time doing it. And the thing about it

1280
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: is is if they make one fuel against Pittsburgh in

1281
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: Game one, they're playing for the AFC North title this

1282
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: week against the Ravens. Do you think that that allows

1283
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: Greg Williams to keep the job. Does he become the

1284
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:51,919
Speaker 1: permanent head coach? Honestly, if he wins this Sunday, how

1285
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: do you not make him the coach? I think the

1286
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: same thing, you know. And it's funny because I've seen

1287
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: stuff like, well the Browns could be Super Bowl contenders?

1288
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: You really want Greg Williams to handle it? Well? Who else?

1289
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Who are you gonna get? Yeah, you know you read

1290
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: all these ridiculous things this time of here, Nick Saban

1291
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh, I guess he could come

1292
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: back to the NFL. It's gonna cost you eight million

1293
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: dollars a year, whatever, and look, it's it could happen,

1294
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: It might happen. But the thing is, if I'm Cleveland,

1295
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: the simplest thing might be the best thing here. You

1296
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: keep Greg Williams around at Freddie Kitchens and you just

1297
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: go to work next year. Yeah, you'll just give you

1298
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: start out with those guys. You're gonna be nine and seven,

1299
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: ten and six minimum going into the postseason. Johnny, thanks

1300
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: a lot. You gotta Mark, thank you. Dpcit who joins

1301
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: us now in the Honday Texans Radio studio. Hi dp

1302
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Hi Mark, Because a long time since I've been in

1303
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: studio with you. Usually we're out of Food Wreckers. Well,

1304
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: we gotta do this more often, and we do. On Tuesday,

1305
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: we will not have a food Wreckers show. We will

1306
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: be doing some kind of programming though from the studio.

1307
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: So there's that. It's New Year's Day, New Year's Day,

1308
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. That's the first time that we've had flood

1309
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: Wreckers back to back shows on holidays. I know. It's weird.

1310
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: We haven't been able to be out and we will

1311
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: be out the follow week, of course that's the stage. Yes,

1312
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: soon enough, well the following week. Actually that's if you win. Well,

1313
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,919
Speaker 1: that's why I said yes definitively, Mark, I didn't say

1314
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: it like a question. We'll be there a few weeks. Actually,

1315
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to do the Food Wreckers Texans Players show

1316
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: from Atlanta. That'd be good. Do a couple of them.

1317
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: There are food Wreckers in Atlanta. I don't know, but

1318
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We'll take it with us. Okay, we'll

1319
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: take the branding with us and we'll work it out somehow.

1320
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: All right, So I know you've been busy. You always are.

1321
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: First of all, you were on Jaguars Radio. What was

1322
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: that like? I was on Jaguars Radio. They depressed yesterday

1323
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: into the yes and it's a lovely feeling because I

1324
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: remember this time last year being so jealous of where

1325
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: they were, and now things are right. The world is

1326
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: back in order, the universe is back as it should

1327
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 1: be again with the Jars, with the Jaguars missing the

1328
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: playoffs and then being grumpy and cranky, and I had

1329
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: JP Shadwick on of Jaggars Radio network and he was

1330
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: so dejected because I think a lot of changes are

1331
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: coming to that organization this offseason. Yeah, and it's you know,

1332
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: at that time of year where people just want to

1333
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: talk about the draft and when it's week seventeen, they

1334
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it. But when I was

1335
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: on this morning with the Jaguars Morning Drive, the one

1336
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: thing they were asking was what does the Texans team

1337
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: think of a five and fifteen Jaguars team, Because I

1338
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of people think that the Texans are

1339
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: just viewing the Jaguars as an easy win on the

1340
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: road to the playoffs. And I told them what exactly

1341
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: what Bill Bill said in his press conference, and I

1342
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: one percent feel the same way too, that that defense

1343
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: is healthy and we've seen what they can do. We

1344
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: watched that Colts game where they shut out Andrew a

1345
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: red hot Andrew Luck six to nothing, and I said,

1346
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: no one's taking the Jaguars team for granted, because it's

1347
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: in this division. All these games are tough. You know

1348
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: you did against Miami on Sunday. You know, we talked

1349
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: about it with Johnny. It's it's really problematic what they

1350
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: bring here to the table on that side of especially

1351
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: because you know they have they have injuries on offense,

1352
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: but on defense, they can really disrupt the game quite

1353
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: a bit. So they said, yeah, yeah, that's what you're

1354
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: supposed to say. But I do, in my heart believe

1355
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: that this game is is nothing to sneeze at. Now.

1356
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: I'd much rather be playing them at home than on

1357
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: the road. I'm so glad we're not up in Indie

1358
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: how we've been, how we were last year, or up

1359
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. It's nice to last game of the season,

1360
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: especially like last year, you know, we kind of knew

1361
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: that the season was over, it didn't matter. But this year,

1362
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: it's really nice at a home game to close up

1363
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: the seasoned Okay, Jars Radio. They also were asking about

1364
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: the locker room, which I thought was really interesting culture. Yeah,

1365
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: they they knew that this was a you know, a gritty,

1366
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: tough locker room, and they stick together and they've got

1367
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: this focus, and they seem to be really intrigued by

1368
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: that because they don't that because and that intrigues me

1369
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: because all I know is what we see here, but

1370
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that way in a lot of

1371
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: locker rooms. So they were very intrigued by how all

1372
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: these guys stick together and even through the losing and

1373
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: the winning. And I said, even in the winning and

1374
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: you remember this mark that nine game win streak. I mean,

1375
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: we had to stop and count every week because it's

1376
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: not like they were huge celebrations and parties. It wasn't

1377
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: like Club Dub like the Bears after wins, and it

1378
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: had a little celebration after the game, but that was it,

1379
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: and the little acknowledgement and move on because these were

1380
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: close games and that's great to win those. But they

1381
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: always felt the sting of oh and three. Like Bill

1382
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: O'Brien always said, it's a short walk exactly. He felt

1383
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: that pain still, So I think it kind of kept

1384
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: everybody going. But here you are, final game of the

1385
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: regular season. It's funny because the season is long, especially

1386
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: when you're in this building and you see what the

1387
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 1: guys go through, Not so much us, but the guys

1388
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 1: going through this every day, getting their bodies ready for

1389
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: every week. Yet it feels like, my gosh, ren, really

1390
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna end. The regular season's gonna end, and then

1391
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: you're in one and done mode. Oh like to make

1392
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: it four and done or three and done, that would

1393
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: be nice. But I do think this season went by

1394
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye. All that winning in

1395
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: the middle. I think I'll never I will never forget

1396
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: how amazing that was week after week after week, those

1397
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: wins and the win streak. And I think it's now

1398
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: that the wind streak is over. You know, they won

1399
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: the nine in a row. You look back and you

1400
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: just think of how many amazing moments there were in

1401
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 1: that nine game Church, how many different players stepped up

1402
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: to the plate. And then to see Jiban Clowney and

1403
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: JJ Watt healthy the way that we have talked about.

1404
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: I think every off season since Clowney's been here, it's

1405
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:15,719
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun to watch. And I really,

1406
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: you know, I really hope that they have several more

1407
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: games now deep into the playoffs several more. I'd love

1408
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: to go to Atlanta on tomorrow show DeAndre Carter. You

1409
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: caught up with him in studio and a little bit

1410
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 1: on him. Obviously, they picked him up when the Eagles

1411
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: let him go. He actually played well against the Eagles,

1412
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: and the Texans really need him until QT comes back.

1413
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: Even when he comes back, I'll be eager to see

1414
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: how they set that up. They both play the slot,

1415
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: but I think they can move people around. But what

1416
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: did you make of Carter as a person. Well, you know,

1417
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: he had the five kickoffs for one hundred and twenty

1418
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: two yards against his former team, and he had six

1419
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: catches on offense. I asked Bill about him earlier in

1420
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: the week and Bill said he plays a little different

1421
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 1: position than when Demarius as he plays on the inside.

1422
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: But certainly he can help this offense. When you sit

1423
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: down here, you talk to him. He's such a smart guy.

1424
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: He was a substitute teacher in like the Bay Area.

1425
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the town in California, but

1426
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: he substitute taught pretty much every subject whatever he was

1427
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: asked to teach, math, English, history. Wow. He coached some

1428
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: kids for a speech competition. He was on practice squad

1429
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: in Oakland in New England, and then you know, he

1430
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: was looking for a gig in the NFL. So this

1431
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: was a friend of his that was as a principal

1432
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: or we're working in a high school in northern California,

1433
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: who said, hey, you know, why don't you come back

1434
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: and do some teaching, and then he would do that

1435
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 1: and then still fly out to try out with teams

1436
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: in the evenings. They afforded him that flexibility that he

1437
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: could still keep up alexible schedule a little bit more

1438
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: than most and the kids were so inspired by him

1439
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: because at the time he's like twenty five now, at

1440
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: the time he was twenty two twenty three. He got

1441
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more respect than what we probably gave

1442
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: our substitute teachers growing up, you know, where they just

1443
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: walk in and they turn on a movie and then

1444
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, no one's paying attention to anything. But he

1445
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: was actually teaching the lesson plan and inspiring kids because

1446
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: they knew that he played in the NFL. I asked

1447
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: him if some of them keep in touch with them.

1448
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, with social media, they definitely keep in

1449
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: touch with them, which is really nice. I feel like

1450
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: for high school kids to see a player in that

1451
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 1: position go out and duty does after teaching, I hope

1452
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,799
Speaker 1: he goes back and does it. One day, DeAndre Carter's

1453
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: substitute teacher, and I got a feeling that kids don't

1454
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: treat him the way they would treat a lot of

1455
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: substitute teachers. So good for him. Now a lot of

1456
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: a street cred for him being in the NFL. I mean,

1457
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think that his story is great. John

1458
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: Harris was telling me one time before a game, and

1459
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: I asked him about this in the interview. Were the

1460
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers were out there lined up and he was

1461
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: telling guys. I think Hopkins was not in on that

1462
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: play they were. He was telling guys where they need

1463
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: to go and to line up correctly. And he's been

1464
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 1: here for a less amount of time than some of

1465
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the younger guys, but you know, he's just willing to

1466
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: help out where we can. He taught a steady skills class.

1467
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I think catching up to the playbook is not a

1468
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: big was not a big deal for him. So also

1469
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: did likes and stuff. I do that every week, Yes,

1470
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: every week, And I like that because it's always there's

1471
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: something that I just it kind of intrigues me. Maybe

1472
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: that's too strong a word, but what about the Andandre

1473
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: Hopkins in his eating habits, the things that you learn

1474
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: on social media, it's just you see this stuff, and

1475
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: I know you highlight all of it. You and Jesse Clark,

1476
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: you do a great job finding these little nuggets. What

1477
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: was going on with thea so DeAndre Hopkins? Somebody captured

1478
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: this off of his Instagram story that DeAndre Hopkins's favorite

1479
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 1: topping on pizza's honey, and he asked people, is he

1480
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: the only one that puts honey on pizza? I would

1481
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,759
Speaker 1: answer yes, but this fan quote tweeted it and said,

1482
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: I Am now going to put a honey on my

1483
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: pizza like DeAndre. Yeah, because if you can cash like

1484
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: that with the heck. I don't know if it's the

1485
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 1: honey on the pizza, but it's a strange topping. It's

1486
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: almost like the pineapple on pizza thing. It's worse. This

1487
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 1: is great worse, but it's still a sweet on a

1488
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: non sweet to me. I know, tomato sauce has a

1489
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:50,600
Speaker 1: lot of sugar in it, but come on, let's be

1490
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: real here, it's tomato sauce. You put pineapple on a pizza.

1491
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: It's really going to change the dynamic. You put a

1492
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 1: honey on a pizza. Oh, cheta anymore, it's honey cheese,

1493
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 1: it's a dessert. Yeah, I don't know. I always find

1494
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: it funny that people, you know, I think players find

1495
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: it interesting that other fans like to know this stuff

1496
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: about them, But I think it gives them a sense

1497
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: of approachability. Is just like a normal person. This is

1498
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: what they do off the field. You get a really

1499
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: really good sense of guys, what they're watching on TV,

1500
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: what movies they're into, the debates they have about other

1501
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: sporting events. I really I think it's a lot of

1502
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: fun with social media these days, it absolutely is. All right,

1503
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: So Kjack TV is this? I mean, we're ranked this

1504
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: among things you've worked on since you've been here. You

1505
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: started here in two jeez, you've been here. Why I

1506
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: have been here? Well, well, you know, in thirteen. Thirteen

1507
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: was such a sad season for obvious reasons. And I

1508
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: remember towards the end of the year, Drew and I

1509
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: we used to go back and watch Old on the

1510
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: Nose episodes. Yeah, I mean this, I this is what

1511
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: we used to do. We didn't have TV shows back then,

1512
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: and we were losing, so there wasn't a lot to cover.

1513
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: We did not produce our own TV shows. We did

1514
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: not so we have a little bit more free time.

1515
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: And I remember he would tell me a story about

1516
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 1: On the Nose and then I'd go google it and

1517
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: I thought, what must that be like Sean Connor great

1518
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: and mister McNair in some episodes in the Locker Room

1519
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: and I and you know, the the atmosphere in the

1520
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: locker room in thirteen was so different that to go

1521
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: back and watch them celebrating their all, you know, their

1522
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: their division champs, they're having fun. It was eleven and

1523
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: twelve that they shot the bulk of those episodes. And

1524
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: I just remember thinking, one day, I hope that we

1525
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:31,839
Speaker 1: can recreate something like it. There's only one Sean Cody.

1526
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: There's not going to ever be a show like it.

1527
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: But I thought, if one day there's a player in

1528
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: the locker room or some segment that we can do,

1529
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: And it was just filed in the back of my mind.

1530
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: But I think Kjack TV is it's probably a good

1531
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: replacement for On the Nose, but he's Kareem has done

1532
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 1: such a phenomenal job. We used to have a rotating

1533
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: cast of players, and every time Kareem would get the mic,

1534
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,720
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, you are really funny. It

1535
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: was magic. I was like, you have this like dry

1536
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: sense of humor, you make fun of the guys. You

1537
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,719
Speaker 1: add your own flavor to it that no one else

1538
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: can do. And I think sometime last year he said,

1539
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 1: you know what I want to do it I want

1540
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: to be the guy. And I was so overjoyed. But

1541
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: it's taken off in a way. I think the winning

1542
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: helps obviously. Sure, so you're winning, and he's and he's

1543
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,879
Speaker 1: playing tremendously on the field, and he's gotten even funnier

1544
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: I think in each episode. Right, so he's I mean,

1545
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,679
Speaker 1: he's got T shirts, he's promised an offseason show going

1546
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: on the road, He's promised in an entire sweatsuit line,

1547
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and are KJACKTV shop. I don't know how he is

1548
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: going to afford it, because I don't think we are

1549
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 1: going to pay for it, but the Kjack to help them.

1550
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: The Kjack TV shirts are in hot demand, and I

1551
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: might drop a little nugget here that they might be

1552
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 1: available in the team store. Okay, the shirts, the shirts nice,

1553
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: and it's all presented by Arctic presented by Arctic, and

1554
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: I know they're every time we post a Kjack TV

1555
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: episode on Fridays on Instagram or on Twitter, people want

1556
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: with the shirts and so we are really trying to

1557
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: make that how. I've got mine too. I'm afraid to

1558
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,679
Speaker 1: wear it in public because I think every time someone

1559
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 1: wears it in public, people get asked, where can I

1560
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 1: get that shirt? I've worn it playing basketball, and believe me,

1561
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 1: they've noticed because it just looks so unique. You know,

1562
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: it's got the color bars and kareems everything. People want it.

1563
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:17,240
