1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Here's the snap looking up about diving for the bylot 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: that he's got it, razzle tasle touchdown, two stas and 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: the Texans go in front. Game day. He's every day. 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. Five nights a week. 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: They hits keep on coming out. The Texans say they 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: have it and they do. No, it's Texans. All exits 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Hello Texans. Yes, it is Mark Vandamer with you with 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: John Harris and the general from the Houston Chronicle, John 10 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: McLean because it's Thursday at six and you can send 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: your watch to it. Good evening everyone, let's talk Texans gentlemen. 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: Here we go. General, Good evening. Have you been my friend? 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: I've been great. How were you? I'd made a chance 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: to ask you. How you know you were one of 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: what four teams to go on the road and broadcast 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: games out and went for you guys. You know what? 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: We got there and every guy done. General, it got done. 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: It got done. We got done. We had some equipment issues, 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 1: which explains why we were up in the stadium today 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: testing equipment on a Thursday before a Sunday home game, 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: which doesn't usually happen. But we had some equipment issues 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: but nothing. Nothing got derailed other than Johnny's pregame hit 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: and maybe his first couple of hits, and he sounded 24 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: like it was in the space station a little bit. 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: But you know, the space station sounds pretty good these days. 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got good audio quality from outer space 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: these days. So well, you didn't have a preseason. I 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: thought the Texans looked in mid preseason form and the 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: sending Super Bowl champions looked in midseason form. I getn't 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: believed that. I knew. I could understand Chiefs not having 31 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: a turnover, but one penalty for five yards as much 32 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: as they had the ball. That's one reason they are 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions. It was just so impressive. 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: John What do you think of the short passing game 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: they had, because nineteen yards being the longest completion that. 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: It wasn't dancin dunk. It was surgical precision really by Mahomes, 37 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: a lot of rollouts and things like that. What was 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: your opinion of their passing attack? I asked Anthony Weaver today. 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: It was obvious that the game plan was to not 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: let them get beaten down the field with Tyreek Hill 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: getting a deep pass Sammy Watkins. The longest completion, as 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: you mentioned, was nineteen to Watkins. Watkins, Hill and Kelsey 43 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: had short touchdown catches. They took away the deep ball, 44 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: but they were not able to stop the run. You know, 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: if you if you have the ball for one series 46 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, in only twenty five minutes and 47 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: thirteen seconds, you know you don't have many opportunities. And 48 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: when you get them a better score. That game was 49 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: decided to me at the end of the first half, 50 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: in the first series of the third quarter, when the 51 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: Texans had the ball first down on thirty three and 52 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: came away with not even a field goal. And besides that, 53 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: the defense allowed the Chiefs to kick a field goal 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: up seventeen seven instead of what should have been fourteen 55 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: to ten at the worst, after fair Baron missed his 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: fifty one yard field goal. And then when the Chiefs 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: came out with that time consuming touchdown drive to start 58 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: the third quarter, you know they dominated. You know, they 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: were up thirty one to seven. The Texans scored those 60 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: two late touchdowns and a lot of people well the 61 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: game was over. But the fact is that was good 62 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: for the offense. That was good for Jordan Nakens. That 63 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: was good for the team to score those touchdowns because 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: there wasn't a whole lot positive before that. And I think, boy, 65 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: you talk about a tough team to try to bounce 66 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: back on. You know, Watson's ten and two after losses. 67 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: They've won eight in a row after losses when he's 68 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: playing the next game, but they've not played an opponent 69 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: like the Ravens. John Thursday night at Kansas City, you 70 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: just talked about some of the things that we're frustrating 71 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: to watch. Were there positives that you were able to 72 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: take game and if so, what were they? First? David Johnson. 73 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: Everybody knows David Johnson played well. He average seven yards 74 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: of carry. Didn't get the ball more because they had 75 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: to get away from the run because they fell behind 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: and only had the ball for one series in the 77 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: third quarter and had to punt. And even though he 78 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: only had two catches, I thought Jordan Akin looked really good. 79 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: O'Brien said this week. If he's healthy, he's not coming 80 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: off the field. He played eighty one percent of snaps. 81 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Fells I think played forty two. But Aikins can run 82 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: after the catch, he's a guy that needs to figure 83 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: in this offense. And Nick Martin and the left side 84 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: of the offensive line played well. Everybody's saying, oh, their 85 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: offensive line's terrible. No, it was Titus Howard, Zach Bolton 86 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: his struggle. But so I thought the other side of 87 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: the line was good. Now if they get the right 88 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: side and sink, that'll be a whole lot better for 89 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: the passing game. Yeah, and you expect the new receivers 90 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: to get into the mix a little bit more. Right, 91 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: Chemistry has to take time to develop. The Chiefs have 92 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: been around, that band's been together for a while. They've 93 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: made beautiful music together. The Texans are just sort of 94 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: getting their act together. They've just jammed a little bit, 95 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: and they need more rehearsals. Did I take this analogy 96 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: too far in general? No? And Randall Cobb, we talked 97 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: to him on a zoom called day and he was great. 98 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: I love the way he talked. He said, we can't 99 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: play like we did Thursday night. That's bad ball. That's 100 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: bad ball across the board. And then he went into 101 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: about what they need to do, and he pointed out 102 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: they've got him and Cooks and David Johnson and because 103 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: Johnson's a great receiver. That's another receiver being incorporated into 104 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: a passing attack without the benefit of preseason or joint 105 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: practices or even OTA. So it stands to reason that 106 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: it would take them longer. And I'm fired up to 107 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: see what they do because they do have a lot 108 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: of weapons. And Will Fuller had a good game and 109 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: I don't care if most of it came at us 110 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: second half. He still put up numbers and more important, 111 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: he stayed healthy and I'll guarantee and John Arbaud taught 112 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: it out today, talked about how long watching the holes 113 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: of the ball, and we all know what he does, 114 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: and that's tough sometimes for his secondary because they have 115 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: to cover longer as he waits for his receivers to 116 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: get open. Now, if he could just get more consistent 117 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: pass rotation, this offense could be prolific. General, do you 118 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: have a chance to watch the Ravens this week where 119 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: he watched them live or watched them on game pass 120 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. What did you think of 121 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: them as they took on the Cleveland Browns who will 122 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: see in about an hour or so. First of all, 123 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: I noticed they only ran for one hundred and seven 124 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: yards now they didn't need to since Lamar Jackson was 125 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: great twenty and twenty five two seventy five, three touchdowns 126 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: AFCA offense. It's a player of the week. I wrote 127 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: about this today and then Anthony Weaver mentioned it. In 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: the twenty eight to twelve playoff lost to Tennessee. They 129 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: he had one hundred and forty seven yards rushing three 130 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: hundred something passing. They had five hundred yards, but the 131 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: Titans stopped him twice on fourth and one touchdowns. Both 132 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: times they intercepted him once at fumble, once touchdown. All 133 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: four touchdowns came after making big plays on defense. And 134 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: Anthony said what he's most disappointed about. He didn't say 135 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: the run defense. He said taking the ball away and 136 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: he used Tennessee as a good example, and Baltimore is 137 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: good at that. There they are nineteen and three in 138 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: their last twenty two regular season games, only one defeat 139 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: by more than one touchdown. They just and as I 140 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: as I've told people on my radio shows this week, 141 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: yes Baltimore is a great team last year fourteen and two, 142 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: but it didn't go any farther in the playoffs in 143 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: Texas the year before, the Ravens didn't go any farther 144 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: in the playoffs than the Texans tent And I was 145 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: on the Baltimore raios Achan and I said, is there 146 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: any discontent up there that people are tired of losing 147 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: that first playoff game? They said, yeah, but when you 148 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: won a super Bowl, that buys you a lot of goodwill. 149 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I've been talking about that 150 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: up there as well, because they asked me about Bill 151 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: O'Brien and I think John, I mean, if you win 152 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, Sean Payton won one following the two 153 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: thousand and nine season, and look, he's had some very 154 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: good season since then, no doubt, But if he had 155 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: never won that championship by now, people get really restless 156 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: for for a championship, for a title, when you haven't one, 157 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: it really does put out the fire. They went three 158 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: seasons in a row without a winning record. That's when 159 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: they were up the Greenbrier and had detections not played 160 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: well after going up there, I was going to write 161 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: a column kursen Greenbrier, but then they bounced back. So 162 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the owners, the benchons didn't panic when they had three 163 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: losing seasons a row because they won a Super Bowl 164 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: So that buys you a lot of love when it 165 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: comes to fans, media, but more important owner John. Two 166 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: years ago, John Harbaugh, I mean it was it was 167 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: touch and go because Flacco started the year and Lamar 168 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: Jackson's rookie season, and there was talk about, well maybe 169 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: this is it for Harbaugh. Then Jackson comes in and 170 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: the rest is history and it's a LoveFest again with 171 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: this head coach. But how close was it to being 172 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: a very dicey situation for him had they not turned 173 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: it around? In twenty eighteen, they were four and five 174 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: and from that point on they've been nineteen and three 175 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: and in regular season. And we talked to him about 176 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: that last year before the game against the Ravens and 177 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: he told them he said, yeah, you know, it was 178 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: everybody was ever The people were out, you know, they 179 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: thought he'd been there too long, and he got an extension. 180 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: He deserves it. There I picked them and the Saints 181 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl, and I picked the 182 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: Saints to beat the Ravens, And right now, after one week, 183 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: I'm feeling good about that pick. But you guy, no, 184 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: it's not what you do in September and October. It's 185 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: what you do in November and December. That is a 186 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: tried and true formula. That's why I picked the Texans 187 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: start zero and three, one and four, and finished ten 188 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: and six. I looked at the schedule, and I didn't 189 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: I thought they would lose in Kansas City. I picked 190 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: thirty seven twenty seven, but I didn't think they'd be 191 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: down thirty one seven and a fourth quarter. Now, if 192 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna lose to Baltimore, they play a whole lot 193 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: better than they did against the Chiefs. Well, let's hope 194 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: if they played better against the Ravens, they'll come out 195 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: of there with a w. John At that point, I 196 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: would imagine Sunday you have a chance to watch the 197 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: rest of the league, in particular the FC South. I 198 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: asked Mark this question last night. I want to get 199 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: your thought. With the way the Colts, Jags, and Titans looked, 200 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: what is your overall thought about how the Texans fit 201 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: in in the AFC self this year? My opinion hadn't 202 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: changed a bit. I still think Jacksonville will be last. 203 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: I still think Indianapolis will be third, and I think 204 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: it'll be between the Texans and the Titans. The Titans 205 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: of Vic Fangio a lot of praise for helping him 206 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: that win that game, for having one of the worst 207 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: clock management into the games that I've seen. If he'd 208 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: used his timeouts when the Titans had the ball, he 209 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: would have gotten it back with one oh seven left, 210 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: But he didn't, and then he didn't try to ask 211 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: Goskowski when he had timeouts left. So Philip Rivers did 212 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: what he did last year through for a lot of 213 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: yards through for interception. Jacksonville to me was an even 214 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: bigger surprise than Washington because everybody was predicting Jacksonville wasn't 215 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: going to be the worst team in the league. Doug 216 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: Moron has control now, and the guys that are gone 217 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: is because he wanted them gone. And now they're saying, well, 218 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: they don't need Trevor Lawrence, and I'm thinking, yeah, if 219 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: they got a shout at Trevor Lawrence, Trevor's gonna be 220 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and the mustache will be trade bak because 221 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: they're not going to pass up Trevor Lawrence, or they'll 222 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: keep the mustache and wait till Lawrence is ready to 223 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: play and then trade meant shoe. But I was really 224 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: happy for Moron. I like him you know, everything was 225 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: so negative about him, and they gave their fourteen thousand 226 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: fans something to cheer about. Well, vander Kidd, who's fourteen, 227 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: had the semihot take that Minshew should have been the 228 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: AFC Offensive Player of the Week over Lamar Jackson because 229 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: he went nineteen for twenty and three touchdowns no picks 230 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: in an upset win against the team that was a 231 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: ten point favorite in his building. So vander Kidd is 232 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: very sharp. He is very sharp. The Ravens beat Cleveland, 233 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: So what Cleveland people that are that are angry at 234 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: the Texans for losing four openers in a row in 235 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: five or six. The Browns have lost sixteen in a row, 236 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: sixteen in a row. They've won one and tied one 237 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: in there since they came back. They are their opening 238 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: games five were betting. I just bet on the opponent. 239 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: So for them to win it home over the Browns 240 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: and give Lamar Jackson the Offensive Player of the Week 241 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: over Minshew was prostres All right, general, it's the home opener, 242 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: It's Liberty White Day. The Texans have one sum they've 243 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: lost some take out two thousand and two because that's 244 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: the opener. I think everybody would say that if they're 245 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: a Texans fan, that's their most memorable, most memorable season 246 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: over two thousand and seven Texans beat the Chiefs two 247 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: thousand and ten. Aaron Foster goes absolutely because many of 248 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: them because isn't that when he had the great game 249 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: and they beat Peyton for the first time? Yes, yeah, 250 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: to me, that was the best home opener. Y'all got 251 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: a better one. I don't have a bet. Well, no, 252 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: I don't have a better one. I like two thousand 253 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: and twelve over the Dolphins only because we knew it 254 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: was going to be a big year and they started 255 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: off in a big way against Ryan Tannehill and what 256 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: knocked down all those passes and it was just a 257 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: big party. Ry Ryan Tannehill Over Manning, Are you kidding me? 258 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: I know I'm not saying over. I'm just saying for me, 259 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: the Titans, that dead name deserved to be in the 260 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: same breath as Beaaten Peyton inning and the Colts. Okay, 261 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: give me about the nest year when they beat the 262 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: Colts thirty four to five or whatever time. It's just 263 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: like everything else. When you do it for the first time, 264 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: it's bigger. Yeah, Brady says, as Tom Brady says, his 265 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: favorite ring is the next one. So my favorite win 266 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: over the Colts is the next one, which hopefully happens 267 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: happens this year. John, Speaking of the Colts, we're talking 268 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: about AFC South. Philip Rivers through a forty eight times 269 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: behind one of the best offensive lines in the league, 270 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: and we all talked about, well, the Coults are gonna 271 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: run the ball, gonna run a ball. How long do 272 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: you think this marriage works, if it does at all, 273 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers and the Colts. If I were the Colts, 274 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: I would bench Rivers for when they play the Texans 275 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: and put in Jacoby Brisette. He had the greatest game 276 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: of his career last year against the Texas. He was 277 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: unbeaten up to that point against the Texans. Texans beat 278 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: Rivers in LA last year, but they paid him twenty 279 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: five million dollars. They're gonna have to he's gonna have 280 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: to be really bad, and he wasn't really bad. T 281 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: Y Hilton dropped two passes on what could have been 282 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: winning touchdown drive from Afar. Everybody's blaming Rivers, but if 283 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: Hilton had caught those balls, they might have pulled that 284 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: one out at Jacksonville, and they can complain about right 285 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: now is the crowd, noise or the atmosphere, because there's 286 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: not any. And I was really happy to hear Jamie 287 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: Roots today talk about, you know, if everything's done the 288 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: way it's supposed to and everything's cleared with the county 289 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: and the city, they'll have fifteen thousand against Minnesota. And 290 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: we saw fifteen thousand and change make quite a bit 291 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: of noise in Kansas City. And this one, I'm predicting 292 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: there'll be rain within thousand miles in. The roof will 293 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: be close, so it'll be the noise here. Yes, Okay, 294 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: I know you, I know you guys can't comment on that, 295 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: but I no. I mean, look, it's it's death and taxes. 296 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: The roof will be closed. Okay, it's been a while 297 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: and I don't think we're gonna see it anytime soon, 298 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: but you never know, you never know. Last time it 299 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: was open, I had hair John McLean with us. Okay, boy, 300 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: and you got me all distracted with the openers. John, 301 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: something right quick while you're the Texans need to play 302 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: this game like they played against some Patriots last year. 303 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: New England was ten and one number one defense in 304 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Watson threw three 305 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: touchdown passes and he caught one from Hopkins. He needs 306 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: to play like that and the team needs to play 307 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: like that, and if they do, they got a chance 308 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: to upset the Ravens. Great point, all right, the Titans, 309 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: John We talked about them with Denver and Vic Fangio 310 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: with the clock management issues at the end of the game. 311 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry runs so hard it's a collision every time. Look, 312 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: it's always a collision in this game, but there's just 313 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: something so violent when he's carrying the football, and the 314 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: defense has to rise to the occasion, and I think 315 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: Denver did many times and enabled them to hang in 316 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: there in that game, along with the missed field goals. 317 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: But my point, my question is this, how long can 318 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: they keep this kind of thing up as a squad, 319 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: especially against some of the better teams. Well, remember this 320 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: didn't start till the second half of last season. Henry 321 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: didn't lead the league in rushing because of his yards 322 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: in the first half. They changed their strategy. They brought 323 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: they benched Mario, they brought in Tannehill, and they went 324 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: to the playofction game, which benefited tanny Hill significantly, and 325 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: he's making more money over three years than Patrick Mahomes 326 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: and de Shaun Watson with his new contract. And so 327 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: Henry just exploded over the second half of the season 328 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: and then in the two playoff games. The first two 329 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: he was magnificent and he's a big guy, but man, 330 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: he gets hit a lot. And if they run him 331 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: as much as they do, they play close games. And 332 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: Da've figuring last year they had the worst kicking game 333 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: of playoff team I've ever seen. Ryan suck Up, had 334 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: injury surgery, lost his confidence. Stephen Giskowski lives in Nashville, 335 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: so they're like, hey, let's see if he wants to come, 336 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: and he did, and he had one of the worst 337 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: games in history. But I'll guarantee if people in Nashville 338 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: right now are scared to death when he has to 339 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: kick another field goals, so they're gonna ride Henry and 340 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: the thing that Texans and other opponents I think about 341 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: Corey Davis, their former number one pig might have been 342 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: fifth or sixth overall, had a really good game, better 343 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: than a J. Brown. So if he emerges finally and 344 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: plays the way he was supposed to play when he 345 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: was drafted. That gives them two terrific receivers Tannehill and 346 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: Texans no better than anybody, but that John Smith is 347 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: capable of it tight end, Yeah, no doubt. The thing 348 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: with Corey Davis is he's bigger than AJ and he's 349 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: faster than AJ, and that I think is very But 350 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: he could never stay healthy. That obviously was the biggest 351 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: issue for him was he can never stay healthy. Now 352 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: he's healthy. If they got a one two combinations there 353 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: in Tennessee, I'm not gonna like that. It's gonna make 354 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Tanno's life a lot easier. But John, we are 355 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: one week in to the Newton Belichick marriage. How do 356 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: you think it's going thus far? And do you think 357 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: it'll last? Based on all the love coming out of 358 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: Boston and everybody around the media talking about Cam Newton, 359 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: you think he just wanted Super Bowl. He beat the 360 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: by I mean beat He beat the Dolphins, and granted 361 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: the Dolphins had had some recent success against Brady, but 362 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: it was the Dolphins and it was Fitzpatrick who had 363 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: a terrible game. Now, if they go to Seattle and 364 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: they beat Seattle and he plays really well, then I'm 365 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: gonna get really excited about the capabil these of the 366 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: Patriots this year. But based on what we saw of 367 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, specifically Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers 368 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: had two fantastic games, and I doubt, seriously the Patriots 369 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: are going to Seattle and beat Russell Wilson. Now, I 370 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: say that they're also benefit like they all do, not 371 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: having fans and which is one of the loudest stadiums 372 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: in the league. But I think it's great. Camp showed 373 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: what he can do when he's healthy. Josh Y Daniels 374 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: shows what he's gonna do with a quarterback who can move. 375 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: John Colts hosting the Vikings. Who do you have? I'm 376 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: going with Gary Kubiak. They scored a lot of points. 377 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: They didn't have the ball very long. The Packers just 378 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: dominated it. Imagine how bad the Packers would have made 379 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: that score if they'd have gotten some receivers for Rogers 380 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: in the off season, which people were crying all over 381 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: the place because poor old Aaron didn't get another receiver. 382 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: He really needed him, didn't he. So I think they're 383 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: going to bounce back beat the Colts put them in 384 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: an O two hole. Saints at the Raiders, All right, 385 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: Saints at Raiders. Yeah, I'm going with the Saints. The 386 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: Raiders barely beat the Panthers and Matt Rule in his 387 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: first game, and if they hadn't had a terrible play 388 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: call given a ball to a fullback instead of Christian 389 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: McCaffrey with one yard. But though sometimes those play callers 390 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: want to get too fancy, we've seen it happened. Remember 391 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: it happened one time with the Titans here, given the 392 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: ball to might have been a tight end on the 393 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: goal line. Just dance, as Daryl Royal used to say, 394 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: dance with who brung you, and then if it doesn't work, 395 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: there's no second guessing. Yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah, no 396 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: doubt about that. John. This week, your Baylor Bears finally 397 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: will play some football, and in a game that was 398 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: scheduled I think last weekend they get the Houston Cougars. 399 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: A are you gonna go to the game and be 400 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: how excited are you for Baylor to match up with 401 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: you of old Southwest Conference battle? No, I'm not going 402 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: to any football games this year except in bruss boxes. 403 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, guys, something. When University of Houston made 404 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 1: his debut in the Southwest Conference. I was working at 405 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: the way Cold Tribute to Herald. I've been there three 406 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: and a half years. Started when I was a junior 407 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: at Baylor and stayed about another year after I graduated. 408 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: And I was at that game. Houston won twenty three 409 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: to five, beat up Baylor bad and two weeks later 410 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: I told Dave Campbell, a sports editor, I was going 411 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: to the Houston Chronicle and I was making at the 412 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: time one hundred and ten a week. They offered me 413 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: one fifty, and I said, nope, Chronicles offering two ten. 414 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: They went up to one seventy five a week, and 415 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: I thought about it, but I said, nope, I can 416 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: go down there and get to see the astros for free. 417 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm gone. I was forty five years ago. So the 418 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: last thing I covered there was you of AH and Baylor. Wow.

Former chair of Baylor Regients 424 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: Joe Coleman gave me years ago three video tapes of 425 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: Southwest Exxon Southwest Conference highlights that ran on highlights showing 426 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: at the State Fair of Texas every year.

He got his big contract called 434 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: fourteen passes. That's what he's supposed to do, and I 435 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: think they will start off two and owe me one 436 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: of the biggest surprises in the league.

All I want 539 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: to do is talk to him about games he played 540 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: in Johnny And you know I was talking to Travis 541 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: Johnson played for that as a rookie played for the 542 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: team that did not do very well two and fourteen, 543 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: but they had a lot of I counted it. I 544 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: love going back through old seasons. They had seven one 545 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: score games in that season, and you know, it doesn't 546 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: mean you're gonna like you should have won all of them. 547 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna play a lot of one score 548 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: games in this league. You're gonna lose some of them. 549 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: But you know, you win like three more, you go 550 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: five and eleven, that's not as still pretty bad. Anyway, 551 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: they played a game at Baltimore and they were hanging 552 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: in there. I mean they led late up there, and 553 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: it was a chance to get a rare victory, first 554 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: ever trip to raven Land for the Texans, and it 555 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: was Kyle Boehler slinging it for the Ravens, who obviously 556 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: did not work out according to plan for them, but 557 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: on this day he threw three passes against zero blitz. 558 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: At the end of the game, I mean, they just 559 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: went after him. They were like, you know what, we're 560 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: tired of getting beaten, dnked and dunked on whatever. They 561 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: just came after him and he burned them bad and 562 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: they kicked a field goal. I think with Matt Stover 563 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: kicked a field goal to knock out the Texans that 564 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: particular afternoon. That was too bad. But he played on 565 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: that team, and I love Travis. He's on extra points. 566 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: Saturday Night, ten thirty five. All right, Johnny, can you 567 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: guess now? This is not a home opener, but it 568 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 1: was an opener of a season. What is my second 569 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: favorite Texans opener? Ever? Can you guess this right now? 570 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go opener opener. It's a it's a 571 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: road game. I'll just be honest with you. That opened 572 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: the season. Um, I would say that the win over 573 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: the Chargers was a pretty darn good way to open 574 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: that season. That Monday night, late Monday night game. I mean, 575 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: it was a little a little harry for a while, 576 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, I would think that's got to be it. 577 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of road openers because from two 578 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: thousand three, well, I just did home openers. Yeah, yeah, 579 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: you're missing an obvious one, the Miami Yeah, you know 580 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: three because that was Andre Johnson's debut. You know, he 581 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: began his professional career in the city where he grew up. 582 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: So that's awesome. Dominic Davis and I mean that was 583 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: when the Dolphins were really almost impossible to beat at 584 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: home in September, Like they had an unbelievable record in 585 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era in September. I think they had 586 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: only lost once until that day. Was you can't well, 587 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: I guess I could look it up, but but you 588 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: would know this. In two thousand and two, did you 589 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: play Miami me? Was that your first trip back to Miami? Yeah? Oh, okay, 590 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: here's our remember about that that weekend you and your 591 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: trusty pale Johnny Gea. You guys ended up going to 592 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: the ob because Miami and Florida played a knockdown drag 593 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: out with Brock Berlinet quarterback. Yea, not, yeah, we did. 594 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: And you know what, you know what I learned on 595 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: that road trip. Never go out with that guy. Okay, No, 596 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: Actually we watched a lot of games. Granado and I 597 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: watched a lot of games together, like just on TV 598 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: and sports bars and stuff. But but you know, uh 599 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: Dave Dave Scallen from Fox Sports Southwest at the time, 600 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: he was there too, and no one had ever been 601 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: to South Beach and you and I did this with 602 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: I think DP two right in twenty fifteen, like, all right, 603 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: if no one's ever been to South Beach, I'm taking 604 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: them to South Beach, you know. And that was oh three. 605 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: So after the game, we went to South Beach and 606 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: we didn't get back to the hotel until considerably late. 607 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: And the next day I did that game, and you know, 608 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: we got it down and they got the win, and 609 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: it was great. But I thought, and you know, I 610 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: didn't drink anything, but I just thought, you know, not 611 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: getting quite as much sleep as I would like is 612 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: not a good thing. So ever since then, Johnny, you 613 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: know me, I'm back at the hotel. I mean, I 614 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: I this is just too important to me to be 615 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: mentally sharp. And I learned that night, you know, it's 616 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: not worth it. I learned the same I learned the 617 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: same lesson in two thousand and seven going to Baton Rouge. 618 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: Oh and the rainstorm was at the rainstorm. We had 619 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: the rainstorm and we're like, oh great, let's go out 620 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: and eat. We ate, and that's like, hey, meet up 621 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: with me, meet up with me at such and such place. 622 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: And it was like okay. And we were there until 623 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: like two o'clock in the morning, and the next day 624 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: we were doing a three hours show before LSU Virginia 625 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: Tech in the morning that was starting at like seven 626 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: or eight o'clock in the morning, and Sean Pendergast and 627 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: I we were staying together at his brother in law's 628 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: house and we are struggling to get up, like we 629 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: got in like two thirty or three in the morning. 630 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: We got to do this show. We roll in and 631 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: who is sitting there with coffee in hand beating everybody 632 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: to the remote location? John Grado. I couldn't believe. I 633 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: was like, how are you doing this? Like I'm ready 634 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,439 Speaker 1: to go. I'm ready to I'm like, how you left 635 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: after us? Yeah, certain people are, so I learned that 636 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: was my last I'm like, I'm the same way. If 637 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: I've got a game where I'm doing the show next 638 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: to forget it, like you you're gonna find my my 639 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: reran back at the hotel or at home. I just 640 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: get some rest, all right? So tell me this now. 641 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson he's an outstanding running quarterback. He didn't go 642 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: nuts last week under fifty yards, but he threw the 643 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: ball well two seventy five. And you know this is 644 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: what everybody kind of gets concerned with that he matures 645 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 1: so well as a passer, he doesn't have to run 646 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: as much, but the threat is still there. And now 647 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: you have real you have bigger problems than even had 648 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: last year when they went fourteen and two. My goodness. 649 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: But as far as he's still gonna run this year, 650 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: I believe. I believe the teams will find a way 651 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: to slow them down. Quote through the air. He'll definitely 652 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: make plays with his legs, maybe a little bit less. 653 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: We'll see. There's no body of work here. It's just 654 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: one game sample size. But what makes him? How is 655 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: he different from say, Michael Vick running the ball, or 656 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: other great running quarterback Steve Young, or you know, give 657 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: me a little something on that. Well, I think he 658 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: is a better overall, Right, you use Steve Young as 659 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: an example. I think Lamar is a better overall runner 660 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: and than any of them. And I think he's a 661 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: smarter runner than Vick was. Vic could be sort of reckless, 662 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,959 Speaker 1: and Michael never learned how to slide. He never learned 663 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: how to slide. Now, Lamar is very very good about 664 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: not taking a needless shot, like he will jock somebody 665 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: and then he'll just hop out of bounds and it 666 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: almost becomes sort of a game to him. But the 667 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: one thing about Lamar that I noticed back in Louisville, 668 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: I actually saw it in high school too, going back 669 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: and watch some of his high school highlights. He can 670 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: get very, very emotional if things don't go his way. 671 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: There was one time in the Seattle game last year 672 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: where the snap was not the snap didn't get back 673 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: to him in time, and it was a delayed game, 674 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: and he threw an absolute five year old hissy fit 675 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: on the field, and I was like, my goodness, And 676 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: if you were taking away some of the things that 677 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: he normally gets, which the Titans did, then I think 678 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: the pressure starts mounting on him. And that's what happened 679 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: in that playoff game. What he was used to getting 680 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: he wasn't getting. He wasn't getting the Titans biting on 681 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: the fake on his zone read, and then he's just 682 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: able to barrel down field all of a sudden. It 683 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 1: was just like waves of Titans kind of kept making 684 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: him run towards the sideline and that took away his 685 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: direct line down the field, limited him a little bit 686 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: in the running game. But what it did was it 687 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: frustrated him. And it sounds easy, but I think he 688 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: gets frustrated pretty easily, and if you can't take away 689 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: just a couple of things that he does well, and 690 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 1: that'll start to frustrate him. And that is really where 691 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 1: you want him to be, because then he gets tunnel 692 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: focused on proving you wrong, like, oh, I can make 693 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: this happen well, sometimes at the detriment of the team. 694 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: The one thing I would keep in mind, and I 695 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: don't know how this affected him last week, was he 696 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 1: dealt with a groin injury at the beginning of pads 697 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: going on. Now, that was three and a half weeks ago, 698 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 1: four weeks ago, somewhere in that time frame. But those things, 699 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, those soft tissue injuries don't go away, especially 700 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: a groin thing. That thing can still be there. And 701 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: so maybe he's holding back a little bit because of that, 702 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: and that's maybe making him have to focus and throw 703 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: a little bit more. You still can't take it for granted, 704 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: you still have got to slow him down. But it 705 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: felt like there weren't a lot of scheduled runs for him, 706 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: and that I think was different, and maybe that has 707 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: to do with that groin injury. He pulled it when 708 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: he needed to, when he got the read that maybe 709 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: he had to have to pull it. But they designed 710 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: runs for him last year out of some of the 711 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: same looks. But this year he's actually reading it and 712 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: pulling it and going when he needs to. But that 713 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: I think could be a little bit of an issue. 714 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: The thing about that is if you start to take 715 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: away some of those runs, like he's not gonna want 716 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: to run, okay now getting that hip pocket of those 717 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: tight ends and make those throws make him have to 718 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: throw those things into a teacup. And that's where that's 719 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: where it makes it problematic, because how do you cover 720 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews the tight end and take away some of 721 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: those runs. That's the hard part and what colleges have 722 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: figured out is some guys have to play the past, 723 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: some guys have to play the run, and you can't 724 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: mix it. You can't be a guy that plays both 725 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: on the same play or that guy will kill you. 726 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: So would be interesting to see what Anthony Weaver ends 727 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: up doing with him in facing him. But also keep 728 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: in mind JJ Watt is back to be able to 729 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: play against Lamar Jackson and that will absolutely help. And 730 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: you know he's aching to make an impression on Sunday, Johnny. Yeah, 731 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes.

So every Thursday during 841 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: the regular season we do Houston Methodist Minutes, and this 842 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: year we've done a couple of different topics, and last 843 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: week we did COVID because because and this week I 844 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: wanted to do something on well, what it's like just 845 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: being at home in the psychological ramifications of how we've 846 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: spent our offseason, and we caught up with doctor Ben 847 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: Weinstein about this. I asked him about the toll being 848 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 1: at home being a part of this whole dynamic right 849 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: now as a society, what is it like for people. Well, 850 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: we're you know, unfortunately seeing some real negative effects on 851 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: folks from the the amount of social isolation. Being isolated 852 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: from our friends and family and co workers is really 853 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: an enemy of mental health. People are feeling less connected, 854 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 1: they're feeling more just sent more lonely. Uh and uh, 855 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,959 Speaker 1: you know, their lives have been abended. You know, it's 856 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: they are at home and they're trying to work from 857 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 1: home while also trying to set their kids up from 858 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 1: virtual school. And you know there's uh, you know, everything 859 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 1: is kind of unexpected, and people don't do good with 860 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:28,919 Speaker 1: the unknown. We also, uh, you know, see people really 861 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: facing some significant economic challenges. You know, people are worried 862 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: about where their rent money is going to come from, 863 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 1: and people are worried about how to how to pay 864 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,760 Speaker 1: for food. H And I mean all of those things 865 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: lead to, you know, despair and increased levels of depression. Uh. 866 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 1: And we're certainly seeing that in our community. So clearly 867 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: there's a toll. What can be done? How do we 868 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,800 Speaker 1: deal with the effects of COVID on the non COVID patient, 869 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 1: for the For the non COVID patients, I say, physically 870 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: but not socially distanced. Stay it. We need to stay 871 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: away from people and we can't have that meaningful touch, 872 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: but connect with people in whatever way you can. It 873 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: is still helpful reach out, even if it's on a screen. 874 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 1: It's much better than being alone. The other things that 875 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: we need to do are to re establish some sense 876 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 1: of unity and community. We are all in this together, 877 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: and the more we recognize that, the safer people will feel. 878 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 1: This polarized environment that we have just further isolates people 879 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: and contributes to a sense of loneliness and hopelessness. People 880 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: need to connect with what's important to them and do 881 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: what matters you know? Who are you, what matters to you? 882 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,400 Speaker 1: What do you believe in? How can you live your 883 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 1: life today that is consistent with those values. Kindness is 884 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 1: an un limited resource. That's doctor Ben Weinstein of Houston Methodist, 885 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,760 Speaker 1: and I love that last line. Kindness is an unlimited resource. 886 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 1: Houston method is the official healthcare provider of the Houston Texans. 887 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,399 Speaker 1: Houston Methodist leading medicine. All Right, so it's the home 888 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: opener on Sunday and the Texans I was gonna say, 889 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: need this one. Well, you don't want to go own two. Right, 890 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 1: two years ago they went owen three and they won 891 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: nine in a row. Anything's possible in this league, but 892 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,319 Speaker 1: you don't want to put yourself in a hole, obviously, 893 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 1: and John McLean talked about it, how they've lost their 894 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: last four openers. Now, twenty seventeen was the Jacksonville Jaguars 895 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 1: at home, and that was a good Jaguar team that 896 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: went to the AFC Championship Game. Right, we all know that, 897 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,840 Speaker 1: Not that that's an excuse for losing at home in 898 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: the opener, but we all know that that was a 899 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: good squad. The last three openers have all been on 900 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: the road, and they've all been against good teams. I mean, eighteen, 901 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: you opened up against the Patriots. You know, we all 902 00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: know what happened last year when they opened at the 903 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: same Monday night football, and then this year at the 904 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,280 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. I mean, these are really good squads 905 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: the last four years you've played and haven't been able 906 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: to get over on them in the opening game. Now, 907 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 1: as far as home openers go, this is gonna be 908 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:15,800 Speaker 1: a very tough one. And you have no fans in 909 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 1: the building. I was in the stadium today and I 910 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: think what you're gonna see is I know what you're 911 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: gonna see is you'll see markings on the seats where 912 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: they are marking how they're gonna do social distancing when 913 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: they do get fans in there. And hopefully that's week 914 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 1: two of home games. Okay, so home game number two, 915 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 1: I should be clear here, it'll be week four of 916 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,319 Speaker 1: the NFL season. I think it's gonna look pretty cool. 917 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,399 Speaker 1: The tarping, the end zones look great. I don't even 918 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,000 Speaker 1: think they were quite done when I saw them setting 919 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,320 Speaker 1: things up. But as far as an empty house, I 920 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 1: think it'll look pretty good compared to a lot of 921 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 1: stadiums you saw last week that didn't have any fans 922 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: in the buildings. So that'll be nice. You'll have the noise, 923 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 1: and like we've said many times already this week, when 924 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: you have the noise and you're just seeing the action 925 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: on the field, Okay. The look is pretty good. The 926 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: feel of it is pretty much like what you're used 927 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 1: to watching an NFL game, But I think for the 928 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: players it's a very different experience. Like we said, they'll 929 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,440 Speaker 1: have to bring their own juice and we'll see how 930 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,320 Speaker 1: that goes. I'm gonna catch up with Bill O'Brien tomorrow. 931 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear that tomorrow night now on the pregame 932 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 1: show on Sunday, which you'll get rolling at twelve twenty 933 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: five Sunday afternoon.
