Speaker 2: But we kick off the show with one of those

16

Speaker 2: former SEC All American linebackers, the head coach of your

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, Dimiko Ryans, stepped into studio. Now, typically it's

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: Nick Asari on a Wednesday night, but we had Nick

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: last night and we had Demko Ryans stepping in tonight.

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: Now he usually does this coaches show on Monday, but yeah,

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: we had a little something going on Monday. So we

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: talked about all that that happened on Monday, and then

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: we looked forward with the Miko Ryans right here.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: Here in studio with head coach Demiko Ryan's coach.

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Here we are embedded in a short week getting ready

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: for Tennessee. But first of all, let's relive a little

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: bit about Dallas. Did you have a chance to enjoy

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: the victory?

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: Definitely had a chance to enjoy it. It was it

30
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 4: was a long time coming. They had a lot of

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: difficult losses. They're tough losses, so anytime you get a win, man,

32
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: it's a big sigh relief and it's a moment to

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 4: celebrate that win for those twenty four hours.

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Coach, you just mentioned what I was gonna ask you.

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: Sometimes wins are side relief, like man, we got through

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: that one, and then sometimes they are a true celebration.

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: It felt like the other night was kind of a

38
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: combination of both, kind of being in the locker room

39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: and seeing you on players faces coming in that it

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: was like okay, we were like there was sure there

41
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: was enjoyment seemingly with that win, not just okay we

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: got through that.

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, our guys were.

44
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: I mean they were excited, and they should be because

45
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: they played really well, right, and when you play well,

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: you execute the way they execute it. And the thing

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 4: I think everybody's excited about was how we finished in

48
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 4: the second half. Right, there's been a hot topic for us.

49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: It's the second half and not scoring in the second half,

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 4: defense giving up too many points in the second half.

51
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: So for us to flip the script there versus you know,

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: our in state other opponent up there in Dallas or

53
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: I think that was it was a big deal for us,

54
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: right to shut them out in the second half, finished

55
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: seventeen zero, like that was the big deal for us

56
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 4: and our guys they put in the word throughout the week,

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: so I just have to remind them again today of

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 4: what we did last week. Was through the week, the preparation,

59
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: how locked in we were, Like, man, we have to

60
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: hit reset and start that again this week because it

61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: doesn't change going into Princess.

62
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: The Titans coach your defensive line, no well, no folly,

63
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: and every week it feels like different people step up,

64
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: sometimes the same people. It's just a good mix of

65
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: people in that entire rotation.

66
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, always talk about it with Nick just

67
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: when we were struct building the team, building a roster,

68
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: it's like, we cannot have too many defensive lines, so

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: as many guys we can get, especially guys who uh

70
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 4: shown in the passes they can rush, rush the passer.

71
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: And that's where you know Darry Barnett added him back

72
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: to our roster. Right, doesn't get a doesn't get a

73
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: lot of pub on the outside, but he's just been

74
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 4: a consistent, tough, hard nosed player that's always been reliable. Right,

75
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: So it's man, it's fun working with Derek and you

76
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: got Danil who's just been as consistent as ever, constant

77
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: pressure on the quarterback, most pressures in the league. To

78
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: get two sacks in that game, think it's probably like

79
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: it's what a fifteenth time getting two sack games? Like

80
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: it's a multi sack game. I mean, it's this big time.

81
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: And when you don't have to for me as a

82
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: play caller, when you don't have to send a lot

83
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: of pressure, right, you don't have to send multiple guys

84
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: five and six guys have to pressure on a quarterback.

85
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: When you can get after guys with four up front,

86
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: it changes the landscape of what we can do defensively.

87
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: So what they what they're doing up front? And Coach

88
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 4: Rod and coach Nada's done a great job of continuing

89
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 4: to work with our guys and they're continuing to build

90
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: their arsenal moves and we're able to cover them in

91
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: the back end. We can rush before cover them in

92
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 4: the back end like that. That's to make is a

93
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 4: really good defense.

94
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going somewhere with this. You played how many

95
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: years in the league?

96
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 5: Ten?

97
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: You've coached how many years in the league?

98
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: Oh?

99
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 5: Eight?

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so eighteen years in the NFL.

101
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: As you watch film of just throughout the league, are

102
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: there players that you watch and go, wait, what did

103
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: that guy just do?

104
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: What did he do?

105
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: Because there's a video floating around of d Nils spin move.

106
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: I guess we call it to get to the quarterback.

107
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if you say, maybe saw it live,

108
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: maybe saw it on film. Are there moments, coach where

109
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: you watch and go, wait a second, what did I

110
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: just see? I've never seen this before. Players that you've

111
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: had in the past that when you were playing or

112
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: you were coaching at in San Francisco or now before

113
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: you got here, and now where you go, what did.

114
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: I just see?

115
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen that before.

116
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: That's showing up a lot more with Daniel than I've

117
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 4: ever Like. Some of the moves that he's able to

118
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 4: do is just like, wait a minute, how I tell

119
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: guys don't spend but you you spind inside and spend

120
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: back outside and you're still able to get the sack.

121
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: Like it's just some of his play. He had a

122
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: lot of wild plays that I've never seen before. The

123
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 4: one play it wasn't a highlight, but man, I forget

124
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: who we were playing, but we had a sift a

125
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: tight end that's coming back behind a line of scrimmage

126
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: to cut him, and he.

127
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: Jumps clearly over the guy.

128
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, wait a minute, I've never seen this who

129
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: tries to jump over the guy that's cutting him?

130
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: But it feels like there's one play like that game

131
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: where you watch and go what am I watching here?

132
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: Like this is a different level of it is like

133
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: different level of greatness to have to play like that.

134
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: I've never seen. That spin move was incredible because it

135
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: looks like he's gonna go outside, he's gonna get shit,

136
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: and al sudden he decides to spin back inside, still

137
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: keeps containing and gets the quarterback.

138
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: And that's the thing with the Nil, Like, even though

139
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: he's spinning, he's still moving towards the quarterback. A lot

140
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: of guys sometimes they're spending, but they're staying in place

141
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: while they're spinning, and they're not, you know, still pursuing

142
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: the quarterback. So I really I'm really learning a lot,

143
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: you know, as a young coach, I'm learning a lot

144
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: with him.

145
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: And it's only certain guys.

146
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: And d Nil is just in a category by himself

147
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: of things that he can do to get after the quarterback.

148
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: That's just unbelievable to watch where you are sitting in

149
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: the film room.

150
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: Hitting rewind a lot.

151
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: Let's begin the Joe Mixon segment of the program, Coach,

152
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: because it's certainly worth mentioning acknowledging the kind of night

153
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: he had. The whole team's sort of feeding off of that.

154
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 4: Joe again, exceptional night on the road for another game

155
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: over one hundred yards on the road. He's just you know,

156
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 4: even though when it's not all block well and it's

157
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: not clean, like, Joe's gonna find a way to make

158
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: a play, right. And I just think when he touches

159
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: the football, you know, one somebody's to get ran over.

160
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 5: Everybody on the.

161
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Sidelines us up, watch oh Joe has the.

162
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 4: Ball and say, oh, oh my goodness, he's going on

163
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: the edge versus a corner, look out corner and then

164
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: you just see the corner just hitting the turf. So's

165
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: it's it's exciting. It's fun to watch it. Just when

166
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: you think it's all about the physical moves from Joe

167
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: right and him pounding the defenders and then he just

168
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 4: breaks a couple of tackles and he has the speed

169
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: to take it to the house right, And it's fun

170
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: to watch. Fun to have a guy like Joe who

171
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: he's just consistent. You know what you're getting every single

172
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: week with Joe. He's not surprising anybody. They know we're

173
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: running the ball. We know we're running it. But you

174
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 4: still believe in Joe And no matter what the look

175
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: is on the defense, like still believe in Joe. We

176
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: just get a hat on a hat. He'll find a

177
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: crease and he's gonna make someone pay.

178
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: Is there something to that about being a coach and

179
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: knowing you have that weapon and hey, you know we're

180
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: gonna do here.

181
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: We come and give you our best shot.

182
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: With Joe just enerject, Hey, Bobby, run it again. We'll

183
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: run it again, Like all right, all right, yeah, let's

184
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: keep you know, feeding Joe, because I was just watching him.

185
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: The more touches he gets, like he gets stronger as.

186
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: The game going.

187
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: It's kind it's that old school mentality with the running backs,

188
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 4: when the backs used to get at thirty times a

189
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: game and they just wear a defense out. Joe still

190
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: brings that old school mindset to the run game.

191
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: Coach, you're always twisting turns in a game. Things happen

192
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: and all this, but no nostradamus. But I had a

193
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: feeling after the first drive of the game like we're

194
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: gonna be okay because you score on the very first

195
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: play of the game.

196
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: It gets called back.

197
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: And then how many times you've seen that where you're

198
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: at this ultimate high in a game like that Monday

199
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: Night football, we scoring the first play. We've done that before,

200
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: right where Joe Buck and Troy can have been there.

201
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: We've scored on the first play of a game like

202
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: that's happened before, right every time? I think, so, yeah,

203
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: we eight team, So that gets called back, but it

204
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: didn't deter the offense.

205
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: They just go right back down and then Joe hits

206
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: the long run.

207
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: I kind of felt like that said something about their focus,

208
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: and I was like, hey, all right, that one against us.

209
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: We've lost two in a row. Could he very easily

210
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: just drop the head? But you didn't get getting first downs?

211
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: John gets to catch for first down and then Joe

212
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: takes off. What did that first drive sort of tell

213
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: you about the way, hey, the game is gonna go,

214
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: but the way the offense kind of rebounded from that

215
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: first play mistake.

216
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: That first place told me everything I needed to know

217
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: about that game, Like, its got Nico back and he's

218
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: making the impact instantly. So to to get that right,

219
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: that play get called back. It was a play where

220
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: typically I would get pretty upset like to get but

221
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, you know what, We're gonna score again, right,

222
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 4: And that just changed my whole mindset for how we're

223
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: gonna how I was gonna operate in this game, Like,

224
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: let's be as aggressive as possible and let's keep trying

225
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: to score and get as many points as we can

226
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: versus these guys.

227
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 5: That's why you know I probably went for it on

228
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 5: fourth down.

229
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 4: People said I probably shouldn't have, but I give us

230
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: another chance to go, go score again because I felt

231
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 4: that confidence in our offense from the first playoff game.

232
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: Well, we mentioned the twenty four hour rule.

233
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, you're halfway through week twelve

234
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: and you got the Tennessee Titans coming into NRG Stadium.

235
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: So what is this week like?

236
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: Because you went through a short week earlier against the

237
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: Jets with a Thursday night game, this is a day

238
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: longer whatever, but it's still a short week.

239
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: So how do you prepare? It's still a short week.

240
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 4: So our first practice this week, we just go out

241
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 4: and hats and we just do a walk through just

242
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: to get the guys lose, get a moving around, so

243
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 4: really have one like full practice on Thursday.

244
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: We get after no past.

245
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: Just want the guys as fresh as possible so they

246
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 4: can play fast on Sunday, and then we'll have our

247
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: typical Friday and Saturday. So we're behind one day, but

248
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 4: not as short as a Thursday night game. But we'll

249
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: take that Monday night game every week if we can

250
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 4: have a performance like that.

251
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: Switch the Titans coach division opponent's divisional poone we haven't seen.

252
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: We're done with the Colts.

253
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: We see the Jaguars once we haven't seen the Titans

254
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: yet on film. What do you see from these guys

255
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: coming up on Sunday?

256
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, what I see from the Titans is a really

257
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: good defense, right, starting with their defensive line. They really

258
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: set the tone there with the two big guys in

259
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 4: the middle, Simmons and Sweat, they make it hard to

260
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 4: run the ball on the inside, right, So that being said,

261
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: we got to find a way to get outside and

262
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: make them run. Then in their passing game, they do

263
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: a good job. They're gonna challenge our receivers. I know

264
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: they're missing some corners, missing some guys in the back end,

265
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: but philosophically, like they want to get up, they want

266
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: to play press, they want to really challenge you. So

267
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: we have to be able to beat press coverage, get

268
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: off and make contested catches.

269
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 6: Right.

270
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 4: It's where Nico I think has thrived. Or they got Tank,

271
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: I think he'll thrive as well. We got to try

272
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: to work the middle of the field. I think that's

273
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: where they're susceptible on the defenses. Work in the middle

274
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: of the field, and we have to work the intermediate

275
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 4: passing game, and I think CJ can make a lot

276
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: of plays there offensively, you put on the tape, it's

277
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: goes to the running game. I think Pollard is a

278
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 4: really good player. Always respect to him from his time

279
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: in Dallas. He's an explosive player, really, and they think

280
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 4: he's a scatback, but he does a good job of

281
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 4: playing with power and making guys mistackles. So the emphasis

282
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: is going to be back again on the tackling like

283
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: that's gonna be very key. And schematically, they do a

284
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: really good job in the run game of giving us

285
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: different schemes, more more scheme runs than we've seen before.

286
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: So they they'll do a good job of trying to

287
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: run more gap runs where they're trying to trap our

288
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 4: deep tackles or war them right.

289
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: So our guys just have to.

290
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: Play really good awareness upfront from the d line, and

291
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: then the quarterback Levins he does a good job of

292
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: just man. He probably has one of the strongest arms

293
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: in the league, similar to Anthony Richardson. This guy, well,

294
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: he can sling it right, he can throw the ball

295
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: very far and then I'm still our guy. It doesn't

296
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: matter guys covered uncovered. He's gonna throw the ball up

297
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: and give his guys an opportunity to make a play

298
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: and the guy who he's trying to throw it to

299
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: the most is Calvin Ridley, the guy who played with

300
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars in previous years. We've seen him before,

301
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: but he's a challenge when it comes to the deep threat,

302
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 4: and you know, we have to have play aggressive on him,

303
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 4: get hands on him, challenge him and our defensive line

304
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 4: for us to win this game. The kid is going

305
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: to be our defensive line getting after their offensive line.

306
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: I think that's been our strong suit this entire year.

307
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 4: It's been a weakness for them, so we have to

308
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: exploit that, all right.

309
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 3: Well more, the Amagy Bank asked coach question of the week.

310
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: It's Salute to Service Day on Sunday, So thoughts on

311
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: that and also if you had to pick one to

312
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: be Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, some coast Guards, something else.

313
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: If you had to pick one to do coach, what

314
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 3: would it be?

315
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: Oh, man, I guess I'll probably pick Navy because my

316
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: brother was my brother was in the Navy, my dad

317
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: probably given my dad was Air Force.

318
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 5: Okay, so I have.

319
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 4: A lot of family who was in the service and

320
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: serve the country. So really, you know, thankful for them.

321
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 4: Sacrificing and going out and serving the country to make

322
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: sure everybody's safe and everybody's you know, can have the

323
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 4: freedoms that we're granted here in the United States. So

324
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 4: I'm really thankful for all my mother in laws in

325
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 4: the Air Force as well. I have a brother in

326
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: law who's in the Army, so I have multiple people

327
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: around me who've kind of hit every every branch of

328
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 4: the service. So just really really thankful, and this day

329
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: means a lot to a lot of people. So I'm

330
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 4: happy that the NFL is the NFL. We get a

331
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: chance to, you know, do to salute the service day

332
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: and really honor those who really, you know, don't get

333
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 4: a lot of credit, but they sacrifice a lot, and

334
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: they put a lot of hard work in things that

335
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 4: we will never see or never know, but they put

336
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: a lot on the line right for us to do

337
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: what we do every day.

338
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: Outstanding coach, thanks a lot, good luck this week.

339
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: Thank you guys, so incredibly well, said Demiko Ryans. Coach

340
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: showed me back on Monday after the game Sunday against

341
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: the Titans. He was hoping we are talking about a

342
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: win over the Titans. To get that win the Texans

343
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: get contributions from everybody, including a guy they picked up

344
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: just before the Colts game, another SEC All American linebacker

345
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: Devin White. Now he's from LSU, not Alabama, but man,

346
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: we have a great time talking to him.

347
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Here is Devin with Mark and myself.

348
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: Devin White joining us in the studio. Devin, great to

349
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: have you with us.

350
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: How's it going.

351
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: It's going wonderful, all right.

352
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: So how has Houston been in general so far?

353
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: Team City the move.

354
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: You're a pro, You've been through this kind of thing before,

355
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: but this was really on the fly during the season.

356
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a very different transition for me. You know,

357
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 7: I always been comfortable in one place, you know. Having

358
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 7: to come here, live in a hotel for a couple

359
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 7: of weeks was definitely the most challenging part because I'm

360
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 7: just a guy of space, you know, everywhere I go,

361
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 7: I always got a lot of space, can move around,

362
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 7: you know, outside type of guy. As far as the team,

363
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 7: I think everybody welcome me with open arms, you know.

364
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 7: I think that's just a credit to the person who

365
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 7: I am, you know, just coming in the locker room

366
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 7: and just you know, tell them I want to help him,

367
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 7: you know, I don't think nobody gonna reject reject help ever,

368
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 7: you know. So I was coming in here with the

369
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 7: mindset of I'm here to serve, you know, whatever y'all

370
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 7: need me to do, I want to get it done.

371
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 5: I want to help y'all win ball games. You know.

372
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 7: I see how how fartest team can go, and I

373
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 7: know I can add a little bit to it somewhere.

374
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: Devin, did you have any connection with guys and another

375
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: couple of LSU guys?

376
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't know you ls. You guys are tight.

377
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: Were there any Were there any that guys that you

378
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: had connections with when you first got here?

379
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, most definitely anybody that went to LSU, even from

380
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 7: the Neil. He's older than me, but we just keep

381
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 7: up with each other around the league, and even when

382
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 7: we go back and we might visit a game together,

383
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 7: you feel like you've been knowing them forever, you know.

384
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 7: Seeing obviously I was there when he came in. He

385
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 7: en rolled early, so when we was there practice for

386
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 7: Bowl prep, he was there getting in with us. So man,

387
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 7: just just go on and on. You know, I played

388
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 7: with a couple of guys already, so it's just like

389
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 7: you've been in the league.

390
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: You don't seen some people you done did some things.

391
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 7: And even if the people that I didn't play with,

392
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 7: I played against them, so they know what type of

393
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 7: opponent I was. You know what I brought because I

394
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 7: played the Houston Texans last year. So the guys that

395
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 7: was here, I played with them. Me and Z's were

396
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 7: the same draft class. He went undrafted, but we keep

397
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 7: up with each other because we played the same position.

398
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 7: So just man, everybody, you know everybody. I felt like

399
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 7: I already knew a lot of people.

400
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: Well, you were in during a very good time in

401
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 3: Buccaneer's history, no doubt about it. And not to make

402
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: too many comparisons here, but what are you seeing here

403
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: with the vibe, the culture, that kind of thing, the

404
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: intangibles with this team as we're still midway past the

405
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: midway part of the season, a long way to go,

406
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: But what are you seeing so far?

407
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: Devin?

408
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 7: I just see just you know, to compare the two situations,

409
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 7: obviously it's very different.

410
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 5: You know, we had the goat over. Yeah, we got

411
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 5: a young gold over here.

412
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, but I think just the willing for

413
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 7: the team to do things not so good, but not

414
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 7: let it bring us all the way down, you know,

415
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 7: to be able to bounce back from certain scenarios, you know,

416
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 7: being called out, being held accountable, and having up your plate.

417
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 5: You know, people don't remember when we won the super Bowl. There.

418
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 7: I think we lost like four or five games in

419
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 7: a row before the bye week, and we came back

420
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 7: and with a whole different mindset. But it was it

421
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 7: was because of the people that we had in the building.

422
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 7: You know, it was led from top bottom. Everybody was

423
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 7: just like like on a chain, you know, just pulling

424
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 7: together as a unit. And I think it's a lot

425
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 7: of similarities in this team.

426
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 5: You know we had.

427
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 7: I came here, we won, you know, everybody like we

428
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 7: rolling and we lose two and I feel like, you know,

429
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 7: one got away from us, but the last one we

430
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 7: really really should have won. And it's like, we know

431
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 7: who we are, we know how good we can be,

432
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 7: but we gotta do it.

433
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 5: You know.

434
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 7: We can't just you know, not put it together and

435
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 7: say we're right there. We got to get over the hump.

436
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 7: And I think last week was a testament to locking

437
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 7: in and really being locked in and for four quarters

438
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 7: and you've seen how we could dominate, and we just

439
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 7: got to keep that going because once you put it

440
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 7: out there, you set the standard of like you could

441
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 7: do this every week.

442
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: Why can't you, yep and replicate what it against Dallas?

443
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: For sure?

444
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: Devin, you played on our defense, play next to Levante David,

445
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: you had speed on that defense. You also had Vid

446
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: the van and he's pretty fast for a big guy too.

447
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: I must have been fun to play behind him. But

448
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: it feels like just watching and you know, I'm on

449
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 2: the sidelines every week so I see defenses. It feels

450
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: like your unit plays at a faster speed than I

451
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: can remember here in Houston in a long time, and

452
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 2: it plays a lot faster than other defenses. Do you

453
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: guys sort of not rely on that? But is that

454
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: sort of kind of your calling card? Like, Yeah, we're

455
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: gonna play fast and we're gonna hit you. Is that

456
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: kind of the way you guys look at it?

457
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean you have to. You know, you gotta

458
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 7: be fast and physical. You know, you gotta make put

459
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 7: a lot of stress on the offense, like, hey, we

460
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 7: got to get up to the second level.

461
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 5: We got to block those guys.

462
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 7: Oh we get ahead on those guys, but other guys

463
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 7: running to the ball and I think that's just a

464
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 7: swarm mentality here. I love it, like it's easier, Like

465
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 7: what do MI goo on from you? He wants you

466
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 7: to go hit the ball, yeah, like if the ball

467
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 7: carried out down, finish them.

468
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 5: Like I love that attitude.

469
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 7: It just make football fun, you know, when you got

470
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 7: a coaster that passionate about you know, obviously defense because

471
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 7: he was a linebacker, but it's just that passionate about

472
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 7: the game and just doing the little things right and

473
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 7: not over over putting too much stress on you but

474
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 7: allowing you to go play free.

475
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

476
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: Well, tell me from Louisiana what a Louisiana people think

477
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: of Texans? What do you think of Texas? What what

478
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: is the dynamic really? Because I wasn't born here. I

479
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: got here as fast as I could, so you tell

480
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: me about Texas and Louisiana.

481
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 7: I don't think it's very much hate between. Ain't texts

482
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 7: in Louisiana, but we do realize that everything is bigger

483
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 7: in Texas, even from the even from the furniture in

484
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 7: the house. You know, you go to Texans, you get

485
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 7: those oversized furnitures and we getting shipped to Louisiana. So

486
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 7: you know, people come here for a good time. You know,

487
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 7: it's a lot of more high end things. You know,

488
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 7: we think of high end. You know, when I think

489
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 7: of Texas, I always think of a livestock. Okay, that's

490
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 7: big for me. You know, I think a live stock.

491
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 7: But I think we think everything's bigger and better in Textas.

492
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 7: Not that it ain't good in Louisiana, because it's great,

493
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 7: but you know, we like to skill, stayed and have

494
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 7: a lough fun.

495
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 3: So livestock, I mean, I think of eating livestock. But

496
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: what are you talking about here?

497
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 7: Like just hering cows and horses and you know, form dolls,

498
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 7: you know, blue Hitalers and border college, you know, just

Speaker 1: WHOA, Yeah, when did you learn to ride?

528
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 5: Probably when I was like five years old?

529
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Really was it was that a family thing or just just.

530
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 7: A town thing from a town called Cotton Valley five

531
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 7: hundred people max. And it's like that's what people, that's

532
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 7: what you do. People round horses like for Whillis. Yeah,

533
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 7: and it's kind of like d theme. So I grew

534
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 7: up that's what I grew up around. You know, I

535
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 7: just see somebody riding up the street one day when

536
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 7: I was young, and I was like stopping him. Hey,

537
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,040

540
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 7: Like it's an addiction.

541
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 5: It's addiction.

542
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: No wonder why you don't want to be in the hotel. Yeah,

543
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,760

Speaker 7: on me.

570
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: So when you were making the decision, Devin, because you

571
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: got here, I can't remember what week it was before

572
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: the coach game. Yeah, so you gotta make that. You

573
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: gotta make a decision, right Do I want to go

574
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: to Houston?

575
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: Do?

576
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: I not?

577
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: How how tough a decision was that to kind of

578
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: waite shit find the right move?

579
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: Hey, if Houston's asking me, maybe there's other teams that

580
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: want to know. Was it? Was it a tough decision

581
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: or was it did you know that.

582
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: Hey, look at this team, I think I could fit

583
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: in here. I think I could make some place for them.

584
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: How did that kind of decision make him go for you?

585
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 7: I mean, it was pretty hard just coming out of

586
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 7: the situation that I came out of.

587
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 5: I was with a great team.

588
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 7: Obviously, I put my best foot forward and it didn't

589
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 7: work out in my favor. And you know, I never

590
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 7: just like took the back roll, like, I just kept working,

591
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 7: kept working. So when I was finally releasing, I was

592
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 7: at home just still training and stuff like. I had

593
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 7: plenty of opportunities come, but it was a lot of

594
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 7: what else, like and I don't know if I should

595
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 7: have took that approach, but I did. And when Houston called,

596
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 7: you know, a couple of times, I'm like, Okay, this

597
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 7: kind of serious, like but is it temporary, like like

598
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 7: I come in and play one or two games and

599
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 7: or I don't play.

600
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 5: They just needed a little depth. I don't know the situation.

601
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 7: But when you talk to Miko and he's very straightforward

602
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 7: and honest, I think that's what mattered the most. Like

603
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 7: he told me, if you come here, you're legitimate, have

604
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 7: an opportunity to help this team, and that's all I

605
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 7: want to do. I just want to help somebody, you know.

606
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 7: I just know my capabilities. God bless me, and I'm thankful.

607
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 7: And I got a lot of tread left on these tied.

608
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 7: The mutt tied right here. Yeah, you know the country

609
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 7: boy four by four. We're going through it all. No

610
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 7: no horsepower right now, he's mutt tied right. We'll talk

611
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 7: about the tread. But he was just he was authentic

612
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 7: and I can respect that. And when you're having a

613
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 7: conversation with a man, you know, when they're being serious

614
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 7: and not just shooting, just shooting, you know, just shooting,

615
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 7: you just to be talking. And the minute I came here,

616
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 7: I was, and I'm still doing it to this day.

617
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 5: I'm coming in early, I'm leaving later.

618
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 7: I'm learning everything because he wants stuff done a certain

619
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 7: way and I'm trying to do it a certain way

620
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 7: so he could trust me in. And I think it's

621
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 7: going well and I think we're trending in the right

622
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 7: direction with it. And anything they asked me to do,

623
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 7: I tried my best to do it to the best

624
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 7: of my ability.

625
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: All Right, it's not like you've played for two decades,

626
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: but you're not a young guy either fresh out of

627
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: college or young.

628
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're young.

629
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: You're young, young enough, but you've gotten a little bit.

630
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: But my point here deads you've got experience, right, and

631
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: you know that coming down the stretch here, there's so

632
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 3: many important things because you got a lot of games

633
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: left and you're in a good spot right now.

634
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: What's important for these young.

635
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: Guys to realize, these first second year type players in

636
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: this situation with the opportunities ahead of you.

637
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 5: I think this is time.

638
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 7: You know, around Thanksgiving time is always when you want

639
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 7: to start peaking. You want to start playing your best

640
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 7: ball going into the month of December to carry over

641
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 7: into those playoff type of months. But you don't want

642
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 7: to do it like you don't want to look ahead.

643
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 7: You want to do it one game at a time.

644
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 7: And that's the thing that I tell them the row

645
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 7: I sit on in the locker room and straight young

646
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 7: guys that play you know CB out there, K three

647
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 7: out there, and I just kind of tell them, like, man,

648
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 7: stay locked in, stay having fun with it, and you

649
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 7: just got to have that mindset every day you come

650
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 7: to practice that you know, you're working to be the

651
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 7: best and you're working to help your team, you know,

652
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 7: win the football game every time, you know, because if

653
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 7: you get boyed with it, you know, and it's no

654
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 7: wild for the Rookers in here, because you know they

655
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 7: it's a lot being asking them and they doing it

656
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 7: at a high level, and that just just hats off

657
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 7: to the coaches everybody that you know that's you know,

658
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 7: teaching them, you know, they keeping them going. So I

659
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 7: feel like everybody know that their role is very you know,

660
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 7: it means a lot to the team. So it's like

661
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 7: just keep going, you know, and I kind of appreciate

662
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 7: it every time, like, you know, coming while I just

663
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 7: came from, I was sitting at the house for a

664
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 7: couple of weeks, like, hey, it's a blessing to be here,

665
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 7: like I didn't take none of that for granted, and

666
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 7: just kind of emphasizing like that this game can pass

667
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 7: you by really fast. And I think that they kind

668
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 7: of they I don't think I know, they really bought in.

669
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 7: Like even when K three got the concussion, he was, man,

670
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 7: I want to play. I want to play, like he

671
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 7: want to help the team, and it's like, hey, put

672
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 7: yourself first and then come back and help us, and

673
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 7: we're gonna we're gonna hold it down till you get back.

674
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 7: So I see bright I see bright things here.

675
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,919

Speaker 1: Okay, we get back. Mark and I.

679
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: We discussed this game against the Cowboys, and then well

680
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: it might veer off into what are the Jets doing. Well,

681
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: we'll get to that next right here in Texas All Access.

682
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: What's happening, everybody. Welcome back to a Wednesday edition of

683
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: Texans All Access from the Monday Texans Radio studio. Sean Harrison,

684
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: Mark Vandermer with you. Mark, I'll just start here. I

685
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 2: know it's been not too long ago. I don't want

686
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: to get too far away from it. But played Monday night.

687
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: My days are all screwed up. Yeah, sure, totally screwed up, everybody.

688
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: I thought yesterday all day was Monday. I kept waiting

689
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: to watch Monday Night Football last night and it was

690
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: not on.

691
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, why is Monday night football? No, that's right.

692
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: Soone I was back a little bit.

693
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: We talked about it a little bit, not as much

694
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 2: as we usually do a lot of times we sit

695
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: on the bus next to j other and talk things through.

696
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: But I thought there were a couple of key things

697
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: to take out of that game against the Cowboys because

698
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: I've been listening seeing what people even like I'm seeing

699
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: people after the game like they gotta win. Great, but

700
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: it's not the team I wanted to see them, Like,

701
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: come on, man, can we stop this hit? Twenty four

702
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: point in look good in the second half, did some

703
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: good things, take a win over the Cowboys the first

704
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: time ever in Arlington, and chill the hell out? What

705
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: are your thoughts about? Just kind of how everything went,

706
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: especially in the second half.

707
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: I would have been happy winning twenty one to twenty

708
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: are you kidding? But the way they were in the

709
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: second half was dominant. Ye they kept them scoreless, they

710
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: scored a bunch of points. You go home happy. You

711
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: beat Dallas in Dallas. Look if you beat Jacksonville on

712
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: mondaynight football on the road?

713
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: All right, I.

714
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: Understand some of the okay, wow, wow, wow, whatever, But boy,

715
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: we're saying that about Jacksonville again. Jacksonville is back to

716
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: get that, Johnny, get back to that after back to

717
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: back winning seasons. They're not gonna have one this year,

718
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: but we'll get to them next week. But my point

719
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: is this, you beat an opponent that doesn't have the

720
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: shine that the Cowboys do nationally, you beat the Cowboys

721
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: on the road, you're in Texas and there in state

722
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: rival you've never won up there. You talked about it

723
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: all week. They were zero in three, playing Dallas on

724
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: the road. They finally win, and they win big. I

725
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: don't care who's playing quarterback. I said, where? Where did

726
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: I say? I don't care if Craig Morton's playing quarterback.

727
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: I thought that was a decent line line.

728
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: But people are like Greg Morton.

729
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care if Don Meredith is playing quarterback.

730
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: You know, I could have gone back to Danny White. Actually,

731
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: Danny White was pretty good. He's pretty underrated quarterback. You

732
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: think he went to the three.

733
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: White He went the three straight AFC championship games NFC? Yeah, yeah,

734
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: three straight? How about that? Three straight? Danny White to

735
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: three straight? Could not get through?

736
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: How many NFC championship games did Tony Romo go to

737
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: Johnny Oh?

738
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: That would be zero zero? How about Dak Prescott and

739
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: Tony Romo win a playoff game?

740
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

741
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: He did at least one because Wade Wade one. What

742
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: I think Wade one one? You know, Wade is like

743
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: third on the all time cowboy winning percentage list.

744
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Romo. They won it in sixteen.

745
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: I remember, because yeah, they won it in sixteen because

746
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: I remember they had to go out and play the

747
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 2: rang Oh they.

748
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: Beat the Lions.

749
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, they beat the Lions before the des play. They

750
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: beat the Lions before the Dees play. Remember the DEA's

751
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: play up in Green was he down? The week before

752
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: that they had beaten Detroit all right in Arlington, but

753
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: that was a divisional round game.

754
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: They had never been to the to the NFC champion

755
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: with Romo, the Texans have far more success than the

756
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: Cowboys do in this era of Texans football starting in

757
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: two thousand and two. But it's nothing to really brag about.

758
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: It's just in state, nothing to really brag about, because

759
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: the Texans haven't been to an AFC Championship game and

760
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: they desperately want to go, and maybe this is the

761
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: year we'll see. My point is this, I said this

762
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: on the Is it Brown Chubby Bear? Whose podcast was

763
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: I on today?

764
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

765
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 3: He is, he's Actually he does a pretty nice job.

766
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,959
Speaker 3: He does a nice job commanding the podcast. I had

767
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 3: to give him some credit there. But he asked me about,

768
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: you know, fans being upset that they don't win the

769
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: right way, and it's just hilarious if you don't win

770
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: the right way. But I said this, you don't turn

771
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: the paper in until January. It's like a school project. Yeah,

772
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: halfway through, is this looking pretty good or not?

773
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 5: I don't even know.

774
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what it's gonna look like until the

775
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: night before maybe, and then you turn in your your draft,

776
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: your your final draft, and you hope that that's enough.

777
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: And we had Devin White on.

778
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: We just heard him talking about Tampa Bay struggles the

779
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: year they won the Super Bowl with Brady, where they

780
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: were torpedoing in the wrong direction. Everyone thought, oh my gosh,

781
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: this is a total disaster with Tom Brady. It's like

782
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers in New York bad. Even though they didn't

783
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 3: know what that was yet, they were saying that, even

784
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: though that, even though that was in the future, they

785
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: were saying that, trust me or Brett Farva New York,

786
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 3: who at least went nine to seven, right, didn't Farv

787
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: go nine and far.

788
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: They go nine and seven.

789
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: But it was the last couple of games of that year,

790
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: which would have been two thousand and eight, I believe, Yeah,

791
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, because he took his one year

792
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: to the Jets before he went to the Vikings, because

793
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: there's no way you could have gone from the Packers

794
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: to the Vikings. Yes, so two thousand and eight, he'd

795
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: started off really well and then down the stretch.

796
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: They faded, They faded, they faded. They were on a

797
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: playoff track and then faded.

798
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: As opposed to the Vikings where they've just faded in overtime.

799
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: It was a hard fate of an interception.

800
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh gosh, that was the first time I remember

801
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 2: hearing Paul it's.

802
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: The NFC Championship.

803
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 9: My god.

804
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 3: After that, I love Paul's horrifying moment calls some legendary.

805
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Legendary stuff.

806
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 3: Nathan Poole, who's the one who caught the pass for

807
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 3: the Cardinals that knocked the Vikings out.

808
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Of Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, like three or something. Yeah,

809
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: it was you who through that football? Do you remember?

810
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: Oh, it was about Jake Plumber.

811
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: It was Josh McCown.

812
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: Josh McCown through that Josh McCown through that ball. And

813
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: I can't remember who the receiver. I mean I could

814
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: see the play. I can see the play and just

815
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: Paul's reaction to it is.

816
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: So it was it was.

817
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: The be that I So when we went to Minneapolis,

818
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: to play the Vikings.

819
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if I told you this.

820
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: So I see him down on the sidelines, and we've

821
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: gotten to be fast friends with him.

822
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: You've known it for a long time.

823
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: It was it was my quarterback talk going into twenty

824
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: twenty three that convinced him like, oh my gosh, John

825
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: knows what he's talking about.

826
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: So he sent me on a talk draft last year.

827
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: We talked about quarterbacks, and so we've gotten to kind

828
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: of these fast friends and want to show just the

829
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: day before, I know you were on with him too,

830
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: And so I see him and he.

831
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: Says, oh man, it's good to see I've been I've

832
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: been looking for you.

833
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 2: And immediately he's like cam Akers, I'm telling you, look

834
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 2: every day I saw him in practice half back pass.

835
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's common, like he just just went

836
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 2: right into it.

837
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: And as I was talking to Paul, JG walked by.

838
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: John Grenard walks by, and it's like, oh man, you

839
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: know they've got to love him. And then you know

840
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: JG loves us, And so it was interesting that Paul

841
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: had some calls, include that one of Brett Favre but

842
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: Farv getting to nine and seven, you look back on

843
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 2: it, and you think that was an accomplishment.

844
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: It was an accomplishment.

845
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 2: The only other quarterback I guess, well, you know Sanchez

846
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: went TOFC championship games, but after that it was FITZI

847
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: how about.

848
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: That in fifteen? YEAHZ trolled hard.

849
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 3: How Fitz is the only Jet quarterback in history to

850
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: throw thirty or more touchdown passes?

851
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: That's crazy?

852
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: Wait a second, I saw that, really, yes, I mean

853
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 3: it makes sense. I did not fact check this, but

854
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: I saw it. It was some reputable Twitter x er

855
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 3: and that kind of blew me away.

856
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure name is sas not because the year

857
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: everybody talks about for him not.

858
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: Back then you were throwing thirty touchdown passes. So no

859
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: way name, no. You know what he did.

860
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: He threw like twenty eight touchdown passes and twenty five interceptions.

861
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: Okay, he got closed, he he'd something.

862
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 3: It was something like that down Richard Todd, Kenny O'Brien.

863
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: You know, carry's a big number back in those days.

864
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: TV jam Aikman.

865
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: Was like twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight right in there.

866
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: Balanced attack. You're running the ball a lot, you get

867
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 3: a lot of rushing touchdowns.

868
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: You have to look at those numbers back then with

869
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: a grain of salt. I mean you really do, because you're.

870
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: Like this guy, like I know, the guy that gets

871
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: brought up a lot of times as Lynn Swan for receivers.

872
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: You look at lind Swan's numbers, like, really, this guy's

873
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: numbers got him into the Hall of Fame.

874
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: It's like, ah, not about that.

875
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: The passing game in the seventies it is not quite

876
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: like it is now. I mean, I'm not saying you

877
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: want to discount what guys do now to compare, but

878
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: it's hard to compare. But to not have thirty touchdowns

879
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 2: now we know that number here is we have we

880
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: had it once. We had it, yeah, exactly, so it's

881
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: only happened one time and we were on radar like

882
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: here it comes, here, it comes thirty touchdowns. Finally, it's

883
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 2: a tough number to get to, but you think about it,

884
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: Joe Namath, Richard Todd, Kenny O'Brien might have gotten there.

885
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: But even the eighties they had some.

886
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: Matt They ran the ball with Curtis Martin as a

887
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: parcels team that was more Curtz Martin FITZI.

888
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: When Fitzy is the guy you get to the guy fifteen.

889
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: He did it. He did it, and he went ten

890
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: and six. One year with the Jets, he went ten

891
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: and six, but they had a bad game when they

892
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 3: finished at Flow. I think they had a chance to

893
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. Any lost. He threw some picks. But

894
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 3: still that looks like a Super Bowl campaign compared to

895
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 3: what's going on now with Aaron Rodgers, where everybody gets

896
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 3: fired and now he's the coach the GM. That's what fits,

897
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: he tweeted. He's the coach the GM and the owner

898
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 3: or something like that. What did you make of? As

899
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 3: we go into Jets radio in a second. But it's

900
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 3: just a compelling situation, it really is.

901
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 2: What did you make of? Because I have a thought

902
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 2: on this? What did you make of the athletic articles?

903
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: Diane or Seeing and a few other people added to

904
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: it that Woody Johnson wanted Rogers benched after the Broncos

905
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 2: game because I have a thought on this. Well, when

906
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: you saw that, I'll tell you what my first thought is,

907
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 2: so I'll let you collect your thoughts. It does go ahead.

908
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: I saw that and I went, hold up, something's wrong here.

909
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: Something's wrong with either the reporting or either Woody Johnson

910
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 2: is mister flip flop because if he wanted Rogers benched,

911
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: but then the the day before Robert Sawa has fired,

912
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson is talking to Aaron Rodgers about.

913
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: Oh, well, that's just a discussion that we have every

914
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: single week. Yeah, I don't know. Something's weird there. I think.

915
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

916
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 3: He was so mad at Aaron Rodgers that he fired

917
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 3: the head coach.

918
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 5: How about that?

919
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: That makes sense?

920
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: And maybe the head coach didn't want to make Aaron

921
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: Rodgers maybe who knows what led to that, because I

922
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't have fired Robert Sala if there's nothing else. He's

923
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 3: got to be able to coach your defense, just make

924
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: the coordinator change like Aaron Watson to and then go

925
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: from there. Yeah, you know he could.

926
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: Have done that.

927
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: I think, not taking anything away from Jeff Ulbrick, he

928
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: beat the Texans. I think firing Robert Sawa I've said

929
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 2: at the time, I didn't think it was the right move.

930
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it did anything for them. I felt

931
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: like it was kind of a rash. Was Aaron Rodgers

932
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: involved with it? Who knows? I don't know.

933
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: But that defense in the night we played him, it's

934
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: really been one of the issues, a major issue.

935
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers nepscore twenty seven the other day, it should

936
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: beat the Colts.

937
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: Just a guy coming off of it was, there's Zach

938
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 2: Wilson game, the one that he had against US.

939
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like Anthony Richardson went and found it. Yeah,

940
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: how can you do it? Game after game on and

941
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: we'll see.

942
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 2: But he found it that day and score twenty eight.

943
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 2: But that col Steve or that Jets defense is the

944
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: one that's a problem. And who's navigating that defense, Robert Sala.

945
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: So I don't get it. I don't understand what that

946
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: did for them to get rid of Sala at that

947
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: particular point.

948
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: Well, you put over on a situation where he's got

949
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 3: to not only coordinate the defense now, but he's got

950
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 3: to be the head coach of the team. And in

951
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: a season in which you're not firing him with five

952
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: games to go and it's over and we're just playing

953
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: it out. You really had high hopes of actually making

954
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 3: the postseason, making a big run, and clearly that didn't work.

955
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 3: And now Douglas gets the can and then who's going

956
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 3: to take over. It's a disaster and you have to

957
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: work for that owner, who look, maybe you can make

958
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 3: it work for him, but if these reports are accurate,

959
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 3: that's really damning stuff. Wants to bench Adams, the safety

960
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 3: wants to bench the quarterback when you're still in it

961
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 3: and it's Aaron Rodgers and you built the whole thing

962
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: around him anyway if you wanted to. It doesn't make

963
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: any sense at all, Johnny. It's like last year when

964
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 3: Rodgers gets hurt opening Day and all of a sudden

965
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: you have Nathaniel Hackett running the offense. And that wasn't

966
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: the plan at all. If Rogers was not going to

967
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 3: be the quarterback. But it's too bad for Rob because

968
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 3: Rob hired Mike Lafleur to coach the offense.

969
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: It didn't work.

970
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: And maybe it's not Lafleur, maybe it's more Zach Wilson

971
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 3: than Lafleur.

972
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, it didn't work.

973
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: They didn't get the quarterback oc combination that was going

974
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 3: to operate that thing effectively, and you have what you have.

975
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: Rob's out of a job.

976
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 5: Boy.

977
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 3: He's in Green Bay right now with some kind of

978
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 3: gig with Matt Lafleur, and Mike's in la Is.

979
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 5: Yeah.

980
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 3: I think he's somewhere cleansing the coaching palette and trying to.

981
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 2: Get him staying in the tree. And he's staying. I

982
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 2: think it's with McVeigh. I believe that's where I believe

983
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: that's where he went because the Rams lost Zach Robinson.

984
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he's with the Rams to the Falcons.

985
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 2: And Robinson I believe was either coordinator in La with

986
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: with McVeigh. He wasn't calling plays, but he got the

987
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 2: opportunity to do it. I think that's what happened. Raheem

988
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: Morris was Deeven's coordinator from the Rams, went to the Falcons,

989
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: took Zach Robinson with him.

990
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: Let that call the plays.

991
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 3: It's a good place to be because Mike was with

992
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 3: San Francisco before he went with rob to the jail,

993
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 3: so he stayed.

994
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: He stayed connected to the tree by going he's with

995
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,479
Speaker 2: the Rams right now and.

996
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 3: Mattt Lafleur was with the Rams and then went to

997
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: Tennessee to actually call plays because he didn't do it

998
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 3: with the Rams to your point, because McVeigh does it there.

999
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 3: So he went to Tennessee with Rabel called plays. Then

1000
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: he got the Green Bay job and he's doing really

1001
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 3: well there.

1002
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: So this makes me think about this, and I've thought

1003
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: about this for a while.

1004
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 2: What combination of high tier, top tier GM head, coach, quarterback.

1005
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying which guy it should be, individual person,

1006
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: but I'm just thinking about what it is what's going.

1007
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: To take for them to be successful.

1008
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: And I think one of the things and I read

1009
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: this and I tend to think this is and we're

1010
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: gonna see what happens. I don't like to talk politics.

1011
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm just giving this the facts on this. Yeah, but

1012
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson and I can't remember what year was, but

1013
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson went to be the ambassador over in the UK,

1014
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: so he stepped away and Charlie Johnson, I believe his brother,

1015
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: ended up taking over and running the day to day

1016
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 2: ownership of the team.

1017
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: He was the one that hired Joe Douglas.

1018
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: Now, my guess is that Woody from Afar will make

1019
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: a phone call, can make a phone call and all that,

1020
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: but it sounded like Charlie was making those decisions. Well,

1021
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 2: now that Trump is back in office, because that's who

1022
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: what he served under, here's the thought that he might

1023
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: go back and do the same thing. So does he

1024
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: step aside Again my old thought with that is, that's

1025
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: the inconsistent ownership of who's making the decisions. Because what

1026
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: I took from that article reading it was Joe Douglas

1027
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: was kneecapped all along. That he was completely kneecapped by

1028
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: ownership because what he wanted to do other things we

1029
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: just talked about it. You just mentioned all the things

1030
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: that what he wanted to. You know, he was trying to,

1031
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: you know, oblige the social media world and let the

1032
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 2: fans know, Hey, I'm doing stuff. And whether it's the

1033
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 2: right stuff or not, I don't know, But I wonder

1034
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 2: what group of people, like, what kind of people do

1035
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: you have to have? Do you have to want you

1036
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: want somebody to want to experience? Do you want somebody

1037
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: that's young and up and coming? Do you want somebody

1038
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 2: that's gone and won a Super Bowl? Is that gonna

1039
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: clash with what's already there is? Rogers certainly done for

1040
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five in New York. Whoever takes over. Is

1041
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 2: that person gonna be able to say to Rogers we're done?

1042
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: Then what's the financial ramifications of that for the Jets

1043
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: going forward? So this thing has got so many different

1044
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 2: tentacles that are so intriguing, so intriguing.

1045
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: But I'll bring it back home.

1046
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: When you look at the Jets and then you look

1047
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: at what we have here in Houston, Texans fans, thank you,

1048
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 2: Lucky Stars.

1049
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: You got to be grateful.

1050
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: You got to be so grateful.

1051
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: As we come up on Thanksgiving, you should be so

1052
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 2: very thankful for what we have here and how everything

1053
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: has really come together with the near family running things

1054
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: the way that they have, with nickas GM Dimiko's head coach, CJ.

1055
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 2: Stott as a quarterback, and the players that have been

1056
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: involved in this and the coaching staff. This is when

1057
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: you look around the league and you go, man, that's

1058
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: a mess. That's a mess. What if you were up

1059
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 2: north right now in Dallas and you're a Cowboys fan,

1060
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: how would you feel?

1061
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 3: And where's the hope? Where's the hope in Dallas right now?

1062
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 2: So we can gripe about well, you know, we didn't

1063
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: do this against the Cowboys.

1064
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: We didn't have five hundred yards against the Cowboys.

1065
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 3: Where they expect well, I don't understand where the expectation

1066
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 3: comes in that this team was going to run the

1067
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 3: table or something like that. And I'm not even being

1068
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: facetious here because a lot of fans out there think

1069
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 3: that they should be fourteen and three, fifteen and two

1070
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 3: like that kind of record. They just put the band together,

1071
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 3: you know, and think about the new additions they got.

1072
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 3: We heard from Demiico. Look at what Danil Hunter is

1073
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: doing for your football good. Look at what Joe Mixon

1074
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 3: is doing for the football team. No, it's not perfect. Yeah,

1075
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 3: they got issues, there's no question about that. Yeah, but again,

1076
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: the final grade does not depend on what they're doing

1077
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 3: right now. Not that these don't matter. They all matter

1078
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 3: because it affects seeding. I get it. But there are

1079
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: tons of examples of seating not being a big factor.

1080
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 3: Patriots of Patriots, the Bucks winning the Super Bowl. Like

1081
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: we just said last year with the Chiefs, I know

1082
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: you're not the Chiefs. I'm not saying you're the Chiefs.

1083
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 3: But get healthy, be good when you get to that

1084
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 3: finish line of the regular season, starting line of the postseason.

1085
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: Taken from there, that is all you can do. But

1086
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: what we do here in Texas All Access. Let's talk

1087
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 2: a little bit more about the.

1088
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: Texas and the injury report is out. How bad is it?

1089
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: That looks terrible? We'll talk about a next right here

1090
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: in Texas All Access. Yes, sir, you heard the man.

1091
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 2: It is Texans All Access from the Texans Radio studio.

1092
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris, football analyst.

1093
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 2: Sideline reporters take a look at the injury report from

1094
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 2: today and it's actually, it's not bad.

1095
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: It's not bad all things considered.

1096
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: DNPS for the day, Deniko Autrey fully fought Akassi Blake Fisher.

1097
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: Blake still dealing with that concussion he got late last week. Deniko,

1098
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 2: when he went down on Monday night against the Cowboys,

1099
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 2: I thought he was kind of reaching for a side.

1100
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't real sure.

1101
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's dealing with a knee and an oblique and

1102
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 2: I would imagine if dco Autry is going to miss

1103
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: a game, it won't be this one against the Titans.

1104
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 2: But Audrey Photokasi Fisher DMPs. Here's some good news, Will

1105
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 2: Anderson Junior. Limited participant in practice. That was great to see.

1106
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 2: Here's even better news, full participant in practice. Kamari Lassiter man,

1107
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 2: it's good to see him back now.

1108
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: The Titans, they.

1109
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 2: Well, they had a lot of guys that were on DNPS.

1110
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: Here's a big one. Lugerius Sneid dealing with a quad issue.

1111
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: He it was and I can't remember. It was not official,

1112
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: It's not from an official account, but it was noted

1113
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: that he said he's not going to play on Sunday.

1114
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: He is the star corner for the Titans.

1115
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 2: They've been playing without him since week six, so keep

1116
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: an eye on that one. Calvin Ridley was sick, Jeffery

1117
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: Simmons got a rest day. Tyja Spears is coming off

1118
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: with concussion. So they had two, four, six, eight ten

1119
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 2: guys that did not participate in practice on Wednesday, including

1120
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: Jack Gibbons. They've not put him on IR yet. He

1121
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: was carted off with an ankle issue. We'll see if

1122
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 2: he ends up getting back. So they had ten guys

1123
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: as dnp's Gibbons being included McCrary, included Kenth Murray, Calvin Ridley,

1124
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 2: Jeffers Simmons, and Jerry Sneed Taja Spears. They had a

1125
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: lot going on with their injury issues on Wednesday for

1126
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans. All right, we get back. Let's talk

1127
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: a little bit more about those Titans with Mike Keith.

1128
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: Our good friend from Nashville, Membe is to Mike's It's

1129

Speaker 2: hour into books. We got one hour left to go

1131
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,480

Speaker 2: locked right here on Sports Radio six ' ten. Appreciate

1135
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 2: you being with me, John Harris Football Panal sideline reporter

1136
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 2: for your Houston Texans. And over the years, we've got

1137
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 2: to be good friends with the long time voice of

1138
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans, Mike Keith. Love catching up with him

1139
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: at the Combine, Love seeing him at the Senior Bowl,

1140
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 2: which he was at the last couple of years, and

1141
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 2: I love when he and Mark sit down to chop

1142
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 2: it up.

1143
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: It's the first of two we'll have.

1144
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: Because well, Mark does men behind the Mike's for every

1145
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: single game. He has me to thank for all that.

1146
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: But here's Mike Keith with Mark Vandermer. It's the men

1147
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 2: behind the mics. They'll be calling a game on Sunday

1148
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 2: for each respective organization.

1149
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: It's Mike and Mark all right, joining.

1150
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 3: Us now, Mike Keith, voice of the Tennessee Titans, and

1151
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 3: our first visit this year Mike, well, other than the Combine,

1152
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 3: but it's great to is it with you. I know

1153
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 3: it's a rough season, So tell me how would you

1154
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: characterize this season for the Tennessee Titans.

1155
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: I know it's not what you were expecting.

1156
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 6: No, we hope for better, But Mark, I think when

1157
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 6: you go through what we have done as an organization,

1158
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 6: which is new head coach who's a first time head coach,

1159
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 6: almost a completely new staff, totally new offense, totally new defense,

1160
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 6: general manager in control of the roster fully this year,

1161
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 6: which he was not in his first year. So I

1162
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 6: think in my time here, which dates back to nineteen

1163
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 6: ninety eight, it's the greatest amount of one year change

1164
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 6: that we have had. And when you have that, you

1165
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 6: understand all the pieces aren't going to fit together very quickly.

1166
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 6: So you know, I think our best case scenario was

1167
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 6: probably to be in a position where we could make

1168
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 6: some sort of a run later in the year, and

1169
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 6: I mean that's obviously still the hope, but in order

1170
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 6: to be in a real position to do playoff type run,

1171
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 6: you wouldn't needed to beat Chicago in the opener, a

1172
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 6: game that you led seventeen to nothing. You wouldn't needed

1173
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 6: to beat the Jets in the second game, a game

1174
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 6: that you led early. You know, this team has gone

1175
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 6: through a bunch of one score games and some tough ones.

1176
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 6: But those things, you know, just don't often click together

1177
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 6: in year one. And that's really been the story of

1178
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 6: this team. There are moments that you say, okay, I

1179
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 6: get it, and then there are other moments where you

1180
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 6: sort of short out due to a blown coverage or

1181
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 6: a penalty or two, or you know, a quarterback sack

1182
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 6: or two or three or whatever. And that's where this

1183
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 6: team is right now. They are still struggling to find

1184
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 6: that consistency. The feeling is that the ship is turning

1185
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 6: in the right direction in the middle of the ocean.

1186
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 6: But as we know, Mark, it takes a while. We've

1187
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 6: both known this long enough to know what that looks

1188
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 6: like over a period of time.

1189
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 3: Mike, tell me about the defense. The defense is rated

1190
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 3: second in the league in total yards right now. What

1191
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 3: makes the defense good? I know the guys upfront are good,

1192
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 3: but overall, this defense has been keeping the Titans in

1193
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 3: a lot of games, and ultimately it hasn't worked out

1194
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 3: more often than not, but right in the games because

1195
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 3: of the d largely tell me about it.

1196
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 6: Good talent, I mean really good talent to Andandre Sweat

1197
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 6: has been a revelation playing next to Jeffrey Simmons and

1198
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 6: Sebastian Jo's day coming over from the forty nine ers

1199
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 6: has been the perfect edition. So the three guys up

1200
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 6: front have done a really nice job. The defense misses

1201
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 6: the versatility of a Deniko Off and as you're finding out,

1202
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 6: he's an incredibly unusual player in terms of his talent

1203
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 6: up and down the line. But overall, I think they've

1204
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 6: been very solid. Harold Landry and Arden Keech have five sacks.

1205
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 6: The inside linebackers have been good, in particular Kenneth Murray,

1206
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 6: and secondary has been very, very solid. They've played good ball.

1207
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 6: The issue though, is that teams getting into the red

1208
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 6: zone have scored thirty out of thirty times, and twenty

1209
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 6: of them are touchdowns, so that's not great. And the

1210
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 6: defense itself only has six takeaways. The titans seventh takeaway

1211
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 6: occurred on special teams, so they haven't been a great

1212
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 6: red zone defense and they have not been a great

1213
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 6: takeaway defense. But sort of twenty to twenty, they've played

1214
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 6: good ball, and you're right, they have kept the Titans

1215
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 6: in games.

1216
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 3: All right, let's swing over to Will Levis, and I

1217
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 3: know that these young quarterbacks need to play. They need

1218
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 3: the seasoning, no doubt. Look at Anthony Richardson of the

1219
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 3: most recent outing. After he sat for a couple of games,

1220
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 3: Levis has certainly made some You're still looking at a

1221
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 3: work in progress. Tell me about him, Mike, Well, for love.

1222
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 6: Of Us it was, you know, same song, different vers.

1223
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 6: I mean, he left Penn State, he goes to Kentucky.

1224
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 6: He plays for Liam Cohen there and they have a

1225
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 6: great year his junior year and then, oh guess what,

1226
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 6: Cohen leaves and goes to the Rams and there's another

1227
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 6: offensive coordinator. So then he gets drafted and he comes

1228
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 6: to the Titans and he establishes some rhythm before he

1229
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 6: gets hurt, you know, an injury basically ended his year

1230
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 6: a little bit early. But he had done some nice things.

1231
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 6: And oh, by the way, they fire the offensive coaching

1232
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 6: staff and so he's having to start over. And so

1233
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 6: not only is he getting to know what Brian Callahan

1234
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 6: wants to do, but they're figuring him out as well.

1235
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 6: They liked him very much. Brian, especially when he was

1236
00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 6: in Cincinnati, really liked Will's skill set and was excited

1237
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 6: to work with him. Early in the season, will was

1238
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 6: the turnover machine and they got hurt. Missed most of October,

1239
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 6: but that period of time, Bridan Callahan wanted him to

1240
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 6: watch the meetings, to really spend a lot of time

1241
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 6: just sort of catching his breath, and that's really what's

1242
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 6: happened Mark the last two games, he has played some

1243
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 6: really solid, good football. He threw an interception on Sunday

1244
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 6: with a minute fifty seven to go in the game.

1245
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 6: When you're down two scores, I mean you got to

1246
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 6: take a chance. He took a chance on a deep ball.

1247
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 6: So in essence, he's played two games without a turnover,

1248
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 6: and we nobody's arm talent. We understand that he's big,

1249
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 6: and he's athletic, and all of the sudden, in the

1250
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 6: last two games, we have started to see the things

1251
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 6: that everybody would see out of him, hope to see,

1252
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 6: at least in this offense. And the Titans are going

1253
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 6: to try continue that this week Instant against Oh, by

1254
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 6: the way, another really good defense. The Titans have seen

1255
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 6: virtually every really good defense in the league this year,

1256
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 6: which is also part of the story.

1257
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 3: What about Levis on the run, He had forty one

1258
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 3: yards against the Chargers, he had some decent totals earlier

1259
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 3: in the season. Mike, do they want him to do that?

1260
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 3: I guess selectively might be part of the answer. What

1261
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 3: are your thoughts on that?

1262
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, they do, Mark, I mean they want to see

1263
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 6: I mean, he's not a scrambler, but you know, he's

1264
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 6: six or four, he's two hundred and thirty pounds, He's

1265
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 6: very physical. So him being able to run, whether it's

1266
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 6: a designed run or just knowing when to take off

1267
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 6: based on the look he gets, they absolutely want him

1268
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 6: to do that. And that was one of the things

1269
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 6: in the Chargers game that he did incredibly well to

1270
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 6: extend drives. He doesn't mind that they had some designed

1271
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 6: runs for him in early in the ball game last

1272
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 6: weekend in the game against Minnesota, and you know, those

1273
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 6: things really showed up. Well. He didn't have a lot

1274
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 6: of big yards, but he certainly had some things that

1275
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 6: got him into a bit of a flow. So Mark,

1276
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 6: I don't think he's ever going to be a runner

1277
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 6: of the ilk of an Anthony Richardson or even a

1278
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 6: Josh Allen, but I do think the ability to run

1279
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 6: will give him an added dimension that can help this

1280
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 6: offense and It's something he's very comfortable doing.

1281
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 3: Mike Keith, voice of the Titans joining US Tony Pollard.

1282
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 3: Texans just played the Cowboys. Feels like the Cowboys could

1283
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 3: still use Tony Pollard. What about what he's adding to

1284
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 3: the equation?

1285
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 6: Done? Nice job, really nice job. He has had a

1286
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 6: couple of off games. I can't really say the Chargers

1287
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 6: game was an off game. He had nine carries for

1288
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 6: forty four yards. They used him less. He had thirty

1289
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 6: one touches a week before that in a win over

1290
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 6: New England, and they really don't want him to have

1291
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 6: thirty one touches. He's not that kind of back, so

1292
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 6: they you know, he got backed off with Taiji Spears

1293
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 6: coming back from injury a little bit. This pass game,

1294
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 6: nine carries fifteen yards. He's good pass catcher, He's outstanding

1295
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 6: as a pass protector. The difference with the Titans now

1296
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 6: and with Derrick Henry is with Spears, who's in concussion

1297
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 6: protocol right now, and Pollard, you have two three down backs,

1298
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 6: and they will have both backs on the field at

1299
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 6: the same time because both have the ability to catch

1300
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 6: the football. They just really scratched the surface of what

1301
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 6: they wanted to do because, honestly, Mark, they've been behind

1302
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 6: a great deal, and you know, when you're behind, you

1303
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 6: can't run your offense. You're just dropping back and throwing

1304
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 6: and trying to come back and trying to make something

1305
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 6: happen fast. In the games they've been able to run

1306
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 6: their offense. Pollard has been really, really effective, and it's

1307
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 6: been kind of a lost year for Spears because of

1308
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 6: a hamstring injury and now a concussion. But when he plays,

1309
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 6: you can see what they want to do going forward

1310
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 6: with Pollard and Spears and again both backs together.

1311
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 3: Mike, let's talk about the Jaguars. How surprised are you

1312
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 3: as to what they are going through in twenty twenty four.

1313
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 3: I think we all expected bigger things from them. What

1314
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 3: are your thoughts? I know Trevor Lawrence is injured right now,

1315
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 3: but it just feels really bad considering the expectations and

1316
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 3: everything else going into the campaign.

1317
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 6: I'm shocked. I'm totally shocked. I thought they would be

1318
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,919
Speaker 6: right there with the Textans contending for the division lead

1319
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 6: right now. That's a better team than what they're playing. Like.

1320
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 6: I mean, if you compare the rosters of the four

1321
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 6: teams in the division, you look at theirs and you say, man,

1322
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 6: that's a know. They got some guys, and they've got

1323
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 6: some guys who've done different things at different points, and

1324
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 6: you know, some proven, some proven winners and all Star

1325
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 6: caliber players and they're just playing poorly. I don't know

1326
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 6: what that is right now. You know, they were in

1327
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 6: a completely different situation than what we were in based

1328
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 6: on the thought process that you know, it was going

1329
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 6: to take us some time because to a certain extent

1330
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 6: we started over. They've been in this program now for

1331
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 6: three years, and so you thought they would begin to

1332
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 6: take off. Yeah, they had a little bit of a

1333
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 6: fallback last year because in twenty two they had no injuries,

1334
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 6: which was crazy. They had no injuries. Last year they

1335
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 6: had to deal with some injuries and they kind of

1336
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 6: fell off down the stretch and Houston got hot. And

1337
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 6: then this year you come in and you say, you

1338
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 6: know this, this is gonna be a pretty good football

1339
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 6: team and poof, I can't begin to tell you in

1340
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 6: watching them and what I think's wrong. I'm not that smart,

1341
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 6: but certainly they should be better than two and nine

1342
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 6: at this moment in time.

1343
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 3: All right, similar question for the cults. I don't know

1344
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 3: what your expectations were for them. I mentioned Anthony Richardson

1345
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: having a much better game last weekend against the New

1346
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 3: York Jets, But what about Indy here, because it feels

1347
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 3: like it could go either way from here, and I'm

1348
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 3: talking about either way in the offseason. I have no

1349
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 3: idea what their plans are for twenty twenty five, and

1350
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 3: maybe they don't either. But what do you think of

1351
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 3: their twenty twenty four experience.

1352
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 6: Mark, I think the problem that they had is last

1353
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 6: year they ended up playing Garner Minshew, and in playing

1354
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 6: Garner Minshew last year, they ended up being nine and eight,

1355
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 6: and they were better than what they would have been

1356
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,919
Speaker 6: had they played Anthony Richardson the whole year. I didn't

1357
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 6: realize this until recently, Mark, But Anthony Richardson only played

1358
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy seven snatch last year, so in

1359
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 6: sn he's a rookie this year. And then they get

1360
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 6: off to the uneven start, he has another injury. The

1361
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 6: thing happens where he caps out of the game, and

1362
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 6: that's not received well. What my understanding of all of

1363
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 6: it is, and it's something that in the process of

1364
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 6: looking at quarterbacks in twenty twenty three, we were doing,

1365
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 6: and who knows Houston might have had the same experience.

1366
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 6: In interviewing Anthony Richardson, I haven't met anybody who didn't

1367
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 6: say he's a wonderful kid. Just think the world of

1368
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 6: him and think that he has the leadership qualities and

1369
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 6: the skills to be successful. The problem with him, Mark

1370
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 6: is he hasn't played quarterback that much. He just hasn't.

1371
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 6: And you get guys who who played a lot of football,

1372
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 6: who've taken a lot of snaps, who've thrown a thousand

1373
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 6: passes in college, who've done it in high school as well,

1374
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 6: and you know, they've sort of come up to the rank.

1375
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 6: They're just more ready to handle the whole quarterback thing.

1376
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 6: And I don't think this kid was. Now the feeling

1377
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 6: is that he kind of understands what the responsibility of

1378
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 6: it is now. I don't think they're given up on him,

1379
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 6: I really don't. I think they felt like he needed

1380
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 6: to take a step back, and now we're going to

1381
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 6: be able to see what he can do the rest

1382
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 6: of the way. The most unsurprising surprise to me, or

1383
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 6: the most surprising unsurprise, is that he ran over a

1384
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 6: safety at the goal line and people went look at that.

1385
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 6: That safety couldn't bring him down. Mark, he weighs two fifty.

1386
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 6: That's why they wanted him. I mean, the guy is

1387
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 6: a phenomenal athlete, He's a freak, and this is what

1388
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 6: he potentially gives you. I just think they're dealing with

1389
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 6: a lot of inexperience there and they're going to have

1390
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 6: to live through it. And you know, you huddle for

1391
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 6: Shane Steiten. That ownership is patient with that.

1392
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Mike final thoughts here AFC. We just saw the

1393
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 3: Chiefs lose to the Bills, the Ravens lose to the Steelers.

1394
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: Who knows what happens kind of handicap if you could,

1395
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 3: for lack of a better way of putting it, what

1396
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 3: you're going to see in the playoffs here in the AFC.

1397
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 3: Is it all about the Chiefs and everybody else? Or

1398
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 3: do you like another team?

1399
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 8: Well?

1400
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 6: I think you have to like the Chiefs because of

1401
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes, because he's that quarterback who has done what

1402
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 6: Brady and Manning did, done what Joe Montana did. I mean,

1403
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 6: you think about those guys, Mark, you know Kary Aikman

1404
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:45,439
Speaker 6: did it with the Cowboys. You like those quarterbacks, Steve young.

1405
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 6: You like those quarterbacks in those big situations and they

1406
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 6: can give you an advantage that to me, is the

1407
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 6: different in the Chiefs at this moment. That said, Buffalo

1408
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 6: has improved dramatically. They've done a nice job. They retooled

1409
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 6: just a little bit, you know, with the trade of

1410
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 6: digs to you guys and a couple other things they

1411
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 6: did on defense. They have retooled nicely and I think

1412
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 6: remade that team a little bit. They've come on faster

1413
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 6: than I thought they would. I think your team is

1414
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 6: fascinating to see what's going to go on the rest

1415
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 6: of the way. Had a little bit of a lull

1416
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 6: there for a couple of weeks. Now back on track

1417
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 6: with a good win over the Cowboys on Monday Night Football,

1418
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 6: So I think that's something to watch. The Steelers really

1419
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 6: piqued my interest because I didn't see them getting to

1420
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 6: this point. But look at Mike Tomlin knowing when to

1421
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 6: change quarterbacks and it's worked out brilliantly for him. The

1422
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 6: other team that I think is really fascinating is the

1423
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 6: Chargers because you see them anything, they're not that good.

1424
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 6: They never make a mistake. Mark they never make a mistake,

1425
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 6: and so you footle around with them, and they're physical

1426
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:07,959
Speaker 6: and they'll get after you. All of a sudden, they've

1427
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 6: beaten me. I don't think they're as good as the

1428
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 6: Chiefs or even the Ravens. And we're not even really

1429
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 6: discussing the Ravens right now because they've had some issues.

1430
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 6: But I think it's anybody's ball game. I think of

1431
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 6: the teams that will end up being the top six seeds,

1432
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 6: absolutely none of them will surprise me. If they're able

1433
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 6: to go to the super Bowl won't surprise me in

1434
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 6: the least because I do feel like the Chiefs are

1435
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 6: somewhat vulnerable outside of who their quarterback is.

1436
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 3: Outstanding material Mike, as always, I love visiting with you

1437
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 3: and can't wait to see on Sunday at at RG Stadium.

1438
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 6: Thanks Mark, look forward to seeing you.

1439
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: Too, Yes, sir, love them. Mike joins us on the

1440
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 2: air for Men behind the Mics. We'll see him at

1441
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 2: the comin. Really looking forward to seeing him on Sunday

1442
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 2: as well. He and Coach McGinnis. Coach is great, he's

1443
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 2: a color analy for the game.

1444
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: He is awesome.

1445
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 2: So it'll look forward to seeing those guys when they

1446
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 2: get here on Sunday. Okay, we get back. Our good

1447
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 2: friend Indy Klue stepped into studio. Man, it was always

1448
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 2: good to see him, a little bit of a surprise,

1449
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 2: love having d on the show. He joins us next

1450
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 2: right here on Texans All Access. What's happen everybody? Welcome

1451
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: back Texans All Access on a wonderful Wednesday night. It's

1452
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 2: wonderful because the Texans beat the Cowboys a couple of

1453
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 2: nights ago, and that was really really fun John Harris

1454
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 2: alongside Mark VanderMeer, and we are now joined by.

1455
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Our great friend n D. Klue and Y. First of all,

1456
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: it's good to see you, my man.

1457
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 10: How you doing. Great to see you. You know, a

1458
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 10: great game, you know on Monday night. And when I

1459
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 10: say great, I'm talking about the victory. There are some

1460
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 10: things that they need to clean up. But no, it's

1461
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 10: good to be here. And you just feel better walking

1462
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 10: around the facilities when you're coming off of victory.

1463
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 2: And you beat the Cowboys. Yes, and I mean you

1464
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 2: playing with the Eagles in the well. The team formerly

1465
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 2: known as the Redskins beat the Cowboys a few times?

1466
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 2: Is it that much more special because they're America's team

1467
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 2: and whatever they get play in that building and all

1468
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff.

1469
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Is it that much more special to beat them?

1470
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 5: You know, for me it's a little different.

1471
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 10: It was more special because I grew up in San Antonio,

1472
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 10: you know, my entire life, so that's Cowboy country and

1473
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 10: they're little obnoxious. But then you also appreciate the victory

1474
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 10: for the fans. I remember when I was first drafted

1475
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 10: by Philadelphia and one of the first encounters I had

1476
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 10: with an Eagle fan didn't know who I was. He

1477
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 10: just knew that I was just drafted. He said, I

1478
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 10: don't care what you do, just be the Cowboys. And

1479
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 10: then you start hearing that more and more. When I

1480
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 10: go to Washington, you hear there's something. I don't know

1481
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 10: what it is, and maybe it's a great job on

1482
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 10: their end with the brand building, but there's so much

1483
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 10: emotion that just comes out when you're playing the Cowboys,

1484
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 10: more so from the fans.

1485
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1486
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I think this victory. If you'd beaten

1487
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 3: Jacksonville like that, people would say, all right, good, nice job,

1488
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 3: you beat the Cowboys national television. It just packs an

1489
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 3: extra punch. There's an exchange rate on it where it's

1490
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 3: worth more because it's them and I don't care what

1491
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 3: they're going through, and it's NFL football. You know, when

1492
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 3: they cut it to seven, you're thinking, let's just not

1493
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 3: give them any hope. You know they were able to

1494
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 3: do that twice, right, cut it to seven twice, You're thinking,

1495
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 3: let's not do this tonight.

1496
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: Please.

1497
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 3: That turpin was really scary. That shot out of a

1498
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 3: cannon slant and run, my gosh, that was scary. If

1499
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 3: they're able to convert that fake punt. A lot of

1500
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 3: ifs along the way. I still think the Texans final

1501
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 3: way to win the game, one way or another. But

1502
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 3: it was great to see them score seventeen after the half,

1503
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 3: keep Dallas scoreless after the half, answer some questions for

1504
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 3: the time being, and then take it from there.

1505
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I think that's absolutely what they were

1506
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: able to do in that second half.

1507
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 2: And I know, Indy A people probably watch that game.

1508
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 2: I have first half like a Samuel Texans kind of

1509
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 2: put some points on the board, but kind of and

1510
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 2: the Cowboys hang around, and then the second half. Daneil

1511
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 2: Hunter started off that second half with sack and then

1512
01:08:55,760 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it was like this right way

1513
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 2: of saying it not an allergy, which is observe of

1514
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 2: an allergy. It was like this in this positive infection,

1515
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 2: just all of a sudden, everybody wanted to get a

1516
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 2: piece of the quarterback.

1517
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: And then the pass rush went to a whole different

1518
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: level with.

1519
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 2: What they were able to do with Cooper rush, including

1520
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 2: Daniel Hunter. And so we were talking with Nick Cassari

1521
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 2: earlier in the week and one of the things he

1522
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 2: talked about was a defensive linement's spin move and how

1523
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 2: sometimes a coach doesn't like it. But Danil's spin move

1524
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 2: is so good. It can be quick, but it's also powerful.

1525
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: Like he threw that spin move against Penny Seol in

1526
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 2: the Lions game. He knocked Seuwol so far inside that

1527
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 2: Sewell was almost able to get back and block d' neil.

1528
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: But the spin move is lethal. His length is lethal.

1529
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 2: What have you seen from Daniel Hunter that makes you

1530
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 2: feel Okay, I feel good about this pass rush because

1531
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 2: that dude is on the outside.

1532
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 10: You know what with him, he's one of the more

1533
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 10: underrated defensive players in the NFL. And I'm not just

1534
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 10: saying that because he's a Texan, but he's a guy

1535
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 10: that when he was with men, and you know, I

1536
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 10: like to check the sack stats, and I just like

1537
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 10: to see what the edge rushers are doing. I kept

1538
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 10: seeing his name, kept seeing his name, and I'm like, oh, yeah,

1539
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 10: I forgot he's pretty good. So to actually be able

1540
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 10: to see a week in and week out. One thing

1541
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 10: that I see about his move. You mentioned the spin move.

1542
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 10: I saw where he did a move where he faked

1543
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 10: inside and spun outside. You and I've talked about that

1544
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 10: with other players and how much we love that move.

1545
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,560
Speaker 10: But you're right, the spin move is supposed to be elusive,

1546
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 10: but when Daniel Hunter does it, he turns it into

1547
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 10: a violent move. Like when his back is facing the

1548
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 10: offensive tackle, he's almost pushing him. He's pushing him and

1549
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 10: directing the offensive tackle with his back. So it's not

1550
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 10: just one of those smooth, finesse moves. The way he

1551
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 10: does it, it becomes violent. And he has about four moves

1552
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 10: that I've noticed where I'm like, oh that was nice,

1553
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 10: and typically good pass rushers you just say find two

1554
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 10: moves to perfect and then get that counter move. But

1555
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 10: with Daniel Hunter, I mean I've seen four that it

1556
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 10: looks like he's perfected.

1557
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 3: And you're my favorite former Eagle to become a Houston.

1558
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 3: But my second and gaining ground quickly is Derek Barnett

1559
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 3: because he had the strip sack, eventually ends up with

1560
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 3: the football and scores a touchdown. And what about that

1561
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,759
Speaker 3: as a defensive lineman, what that does for the team,

1562
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 3: big guy running with the ball into the end zone.

1563
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 3: There's just something magical about that in football that everybody loves.

1564
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 1: What is happening for your team?

1565
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 10: You know what, you're right? Well, when the guys in

1566
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 10: the trenches can get a chance to put the ball

1567
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 10: in their hands and be able to run it back

1568
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,639
Speaker 10: for six, then you're the guy who actually had the sack.

1569
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 10: You're the guy who actually calls the strip. I mean

1570
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 10: I was just smiling like, oh, you know what, that's

1571
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 10: the dream play. That's the dream scenario right there. And

1572
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 10: then you see the sideline, You see how excited everyone gets.

1573
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 10: It just lets you know one thing about this team.

1574
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 10: They just love one another. But when I love looking

1575
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 10: at the sideline when certain guys score and just to

1576
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 10: see the reaction and then you know, you know what,

1577
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 10: this is the guy the whole team rallies around. But

1578
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 10: that's a dream play for Barnett, Like he's not going

1579
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 10: that this sounds like hyperbole, but it's not. He's never

1580
01:11:58,520 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 10: gonna forget that play.

1581
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 3: Fun because last year he came on so strong after

1582
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 3: the relatively late in the season acquisition, and this year

1583
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 3: there have been some plays, but all of a sudden,

1584
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 3: it's like Barnett is still very much a part of

1585
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 3: this football team. And look at this and no Will

1586
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 3: Anderson Junior in the Cowboy game. And you get that

1587
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 3: out of Barnet, You get Tim Settle with another sack.

1588
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 3: You get Daniel Hunter having two sacks and tying Will

1589
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 3: for the team leading sacks with seven point five, a

1590
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 3: good night for the d line.

1591
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 10: And it goes to show and I do feel like

1592
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 10: we use this term too often. I'm guilty of it,

1593
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 10: but it just goes to show the culture of the

1594
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 10: Houston Texans because for them to get out of him

1595
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 10: what Philadelphia was trying to get out And Philadelphia is

1596
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 10: a very very good organization, you know, it's not a

1597
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 10: cluster bleep like Cleveland or some of these other teams

1598
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 10: out there. Like they're a great organization. So I don't

1599
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 10: know what went on there. I haven't heard anything, but

1600
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 10: for the Texans to get out of him what the

1601
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 10: Eagles were trying to get out. It just goes to

1602
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 10: show that when he stepped in these facilities, from coach

1603
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 10: Demico Ryans to the to the rest of the staff,

1604
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 10: he just felt at home.

1605
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:58,799
Speaker 5: And now you're seeing it on the field.

1606
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 2: Tamiko talked after the game in his presser, which she

1607
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,600
Speaker 2: does every week, but he talked about and Nick reiterated

1608
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 2: this when we talked in at Cassario. I felt like

1609
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 2: the second half really really showed this. But it felt

1610
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 2: like the physicality went to a different level. And I'm

1611
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 2: not just talking about human kamakazi uh Jalen Petrie, because

1612
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 2: Petrie just throws his body around. And I heard or

1613
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 2: I read an athletic writer like use that phrase about

1614
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 2: Jalen Petrie and how he's so good supporting the run

1615
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 2: and in some cases being the force man against the

1616
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 2: run because he's just a kama kazi.

1617
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: He has no U. But he's playing under control with

1618
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 1: it too.

1619
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 2: But it felt like in the second half in d

1620
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 2: like that level of physicality went up a notch in

1621
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 2: maybe two and you could tell the Cowboys that are like,

1622
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 2: all right, we're done, We're done. Did you kind of

1623
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 2: get a sense of that as you're watching that game

1624
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 2: the other night.

1625
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 5: I did.

1626
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 10: And it's a shame that the play that you mentioned

1627
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 10: with Petrie was called for a penalty that was so bad.

1628
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 10: And that was literally the textbook how Troy Vincent and

1629
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 10: the powers that be that have put together all these

1630
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 10: horrible rules where they're trying to make the game quote

1631
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 10: unquote safer, but that's literally how they want you to like,

1632
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 10: they still want you to hit hard. Petrie hit them

1633
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 10: with his shoulders. It was the perfect hit. It was violent,

1634
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 10: and your team feeds off that. And I think, you know,

1635
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 10: with the Daniel Hunter sack, with the Ptrie hit, the

1636
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 10: rest of the teams like, oh, you know, I want

1637
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 10: to get some of this. We even saw with Henry

1638
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 10: Told told some of the players he made in the celebrations,

1639
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 10: like the guys didn't want to just win, they wanted to,

1640
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 10: you know, leave.

1641
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 5: Their mark real quick.

1642
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 10: Not to get too far off the subject, I wonder

1643
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 10: if when the NFL misses a dirty play or what

1644
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 10: they call dirty, they still find the player even if

1645
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 10: it's not penalized during the game. I wonder if the

1646
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 10: NFL will actually send Petrie like some I'm not even

1647
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 10: trying to be funny, yeah, some kind of letter like hey,

1648
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:53,799
Speaker 10: you shouldn't have been.

1649
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 5: To Macy's or whatever.

1650
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 10: Watch your team play Christmas Day. That's bad, Like he

1651
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 10: literally did it the way they want you to do it.

1652
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 10: They call the penalty, or maybe if that's something the

1653
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 10: team sends in and says, hey, oh yeah, they give

1654
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 10: us your official statement.

1655
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: That definitely happens.

1656
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 3: And I said it on the broadcast where Okay, there's

1657
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 3: got to be some recourse here during the game. This

1658
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 3: is too costly. What if that's a huge situation. What

1659
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:27,480
Speaker 3: if that cost them the game and you gots erroneously

1660
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 3: ticketed there for a hit that should have been legal.

1661
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 3: We have replay assist in the NFL. Now, I think

1662
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 3: you need replay assist for that. Maybe you can't get

1663
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 3: it done in real time where it's the guys upstairs

1664
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 3: say hey, hey, hey, bad call. Just take that, you know,

1665
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,600
Speaker 3: pick that up. The guys are discussing it. This is

1666
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 3: what I hate. We have a conference anyway, right the

1667
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 3: guys are huddled up, the zebras are huddled up there,

1668
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 3: but they're not allowed to look at a replay and

1669
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 3: they have to talk about what they think they saw.

1670
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: That stinks.

1671
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 3: I know it's going to make things go longer, but

1672
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 3: there's got to be a better way, and it's for

1673
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 3: smart people to figure out during an offseason. How can

1674
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 3: we make this so we don't have bad calls disturbing

1675
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 3: the disturbing the flow, changing the course of history. Really

1676
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 3: and now it didn't affect the Texans as it turned out.

1677
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 3: All right, I get another one of it.

1678
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 10: Well, you said it will take long, but I think

1679
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 10: it would be quicker if who's ever watching it in

1680
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 10: New York. As soon as they see it, they call, say, know,

1681
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 10: that was clean, because, like you mentioned, Mark, they huddled

1682
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 10: up for a while and still came up with the

1683
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 10: wrong call. And I know for a fact because I've

1684
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 10: had the chance to talk to Troy Vincent on how

1685
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 10: it works. They're literally watching every game and it was

1686
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 10: only one game from New York, so it would take

1687
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 10: thirty seconds to make that call.

1688
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 5: Hey, that was clean.

1689
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, in a nationally televised game. Sure, if they have

1690
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 3: their eyes on it. It's a good point because the

1691
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 3: fact that they can't use technology to make the correct

1692
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 3: call just stinks.

1693
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 2: Well, even even if those can be kind of like

1694
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,879
Speaker 2: you know, did he launch, there's still some subjectivity to it. Yeah,

1695
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 2: The one I want to see them right and get

1696
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 2: right are the face masks they've missed multitudes or face

1697
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 2: masks that they can just look at it and go,

1698
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 2: oh yeah, he got it, he absolutely got it. And

1699
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 2: that to me is the one that I think they

1700
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 2: know what they could easily change that.

1701
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 3: You know what you don't want though? When I watch

1702
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 3: certain NBA games, Oh my gosh, we're going to the

1703
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 3: monitor again.

1704
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

1705
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 3: I agreed, and you know college basketball, we're going to

1706
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 3: the monitor again. Really, you know, I don't want to

1707
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 3: see that every single time. Now, you need some I

1708
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 3: don't know how you do it where it's not just

1709
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 3: a monitor fest, but you got to figure out a way.

1710
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: And I don't have the solution right now.

1711
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 8: Oh.

1712
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 3: Another example of a guy who's really taken to the

1713
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 3: culture and the coaching or whatever. Tim Settle is having

1714
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 3: a career year. This guy's been in the league since

1715
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. This is the most tackles he's had period.

1716
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,759
Speaker 3: He's played eleven games this year. Obviously he's played more

1717
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 3: in previous years, but this is the most tackles he's had,

1718
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 3: the most sax he's had, He's having a career tied

1719
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 3: for the most sax he's had. He is having a

1720
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 3: career year, and he's got a long way to go

1721
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 3: in this regular season. So let's go Tim Settle.

1722
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1723
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 10: Again, you point to the coach and the culture and

1724
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 10: there's so many things. Maybe this is the most healthy

1725
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 10: he's felt and the most opportunities, But then you also

1726
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 10: have to look at the d line coach who they

1727
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 10: brought in and just give credit where credits due, Because

1728
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 10: when you're in your six year, seventh the year, and

1729
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 10: you're having your best year of your career, yes, you've

1730
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 10: been doing things right with the longevity piece of it,

1731
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 10: but you're also surrounded by guys who are bringing out

1732
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 10: the best from you.

1733
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so Division game on Sunday taking on Tennessee Titans,

1734
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 2: and that man Jeffrey Simmons. I'll talk about Jeffers Simmons

1735
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 2: all the time and D and this guy has just

1736
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 2: I mean, he can wreck a game in a heartbeat, and.

1737
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: We don't always see that with interior guys.

1738
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 2: But when we have faced one of those interior guys,

1739
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 2: Quinny Williams comes to mind, and twenty twenty two was

1740
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 2: just a run of them. I saw Dexter Lawrence play

1741
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 2: maybe the best football game ever seen an interior defensive

1742
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 2: guy play.

1743
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: When an interior guy can wreck a game, how different.

1744
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 2: Is it than an outside edge guy wrecking the game?

1745
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 10: Indy, That's a good question, because again, it's all impactful

1746
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 10: whether you're wrecking the game from the edge or from inside.

1747
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 10: But I think it's a little more difficult from inside

1748
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 10: because typically when you have studs on the edges, when

1749
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 10: you have Will Anderson, when you have Daniel Hunter on

1750
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 10: the edges, what does the quarterback do when that pressure comes?

1751
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 5: He steps up?

1752
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, and when he steps up, it's frustrating for an

1753
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 10: edge rusher because he just bought himself a whole lot

1754
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 10: of time. He could get a little bit more comfortable

1755
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 10: because you've doing that long hoop round to try to

1756
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 10: get back to him. But when that pressure is coming

1757
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 10: from the inside, what are you doing. You're either stepping

1758
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 10: back or you're moving east and west, and then you

1759
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 10: fall into the hands of the other rushers. So a

1760
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 10: guy like Jeffrey Simmons and for all the young defensive

1761
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 10: tackles out there three techniques, he's a guy to watch

1762
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 10: and study. Don't look at his stats, you know he

1763
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 10: only has three sacks on the year, but look at

1764
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 10: his impact because he's the type of guy when he's

1765
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 10: rushing the quarterback is trying to avoid him and he's

1766
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 10: just falling into the hands of the edge rusher or

1767
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 10: the blitzen linebacker. So no, I think at times it's

1768
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:13,799
Speaker 10: tougher when you have that dominance coming from the inside.

1769
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Simmons Tovandre sweat, They're gonna be a problem. There's

1770
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: no doubt about that game Sunday at noon. He's gonna

1771
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 2: be fantastic though. In Texans return home to take on

1772
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans.

1773
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: Indeed, you are the man. Thank you very much, brother,

1774

01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 2: to in the lab, we gotta do the SLB Stats Challenge.

1789
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,759
Speaker 1: Fifteen. That's the number. Fifteen is the number.

1790
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 2: Fifteen times in his career, d Neil Hunter has had

1791
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 2: two or more sacks in a game. Number fifteen came

1792
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 2: the other night against the Dallas Cowboys.

1793
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,879
Speaker 1: It's an easy stat, but it's a great one.

1794
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, when you see what he does

1795
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:40,600
Speaker 2: to get sacks, it is so incredibly impressive.

1796
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 1: It's it's freaky, it really is.

1797
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 2: I mean when you when I see it, there are

1798
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 2: bad words that come out of my mouth, and a

1799
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 2: lot of times bad words do come out of my mouth.

1800
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: But to have two sacks.

1801
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 2: In the game fifteen times in your career, absolutely incredible.

1802
01:21:56,320 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 2: That's SLB Stats Challenge. Check them out at Houston Texans Dot. Okay,

1803
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 2: it's time for dting the lap. Drew Doughty stop by

1804
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:06,759
Speaker 2: under the weather. But got it together, man, so warrior,

1805
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you get the point. I mean obviously we

1806
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 2: celebrate our veterans. Those are the warriors. When I'm talking

1807
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 2: about broadcast warrior. My man sucked it up for this one.

1808
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 2: Here's Drew Doerry and I within the lap.

1809
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 11: Let's go in the lab time right now, Drew Doherty,

1810
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 11: John Harris and you and John wow o wow a

1811
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 11: wow A win over the Cowboys. It was awesome there

1812
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 11: at the end. It was it was in doubt. There

1813
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 11: was twenty to ten. You weren't playing your best ball,

1814
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 11: but you had a you had a double digit lead,

1815
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 11: you had a two score lead, and then the damn

1816
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 11: broke in your favor in the fourth quarter with Derek Barnett.

1817
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 11: And it reminds me it's something you and I have

1818
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 11: talked about quite a bit on this podcast. Thank goodness

1819
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 11: for the edge depth on this team. Defensively, you had

1820
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 11: Will Anderson. You made the big splash by signing danil Hunter.

1821
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 11: But man, I know you and I have talked a

1822
01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 11: few different times over the last year or so about

1823
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 11: how valuable it was to pick up Derek Barnett off

1824
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 11: the waiver wire like you did last year late in

1825
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 11: the season, and to add a guy like Nico Autrey

1826
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 11: who was a pain in the ass. Again, that's using

1827
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 11: Nick Cassario's words the general manager about the Nico autry.

1828
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 9: But I think that really came to the four.

1829
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 11: We haven't talked too much about that aspect of about

1830
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 11: how valuable it has been that they were added to

1831
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 11: this team. But I think it kind of won you

1832
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 11: the game. It's one of the key reasons it won

1833
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 11: you the game in Dallas. Was that excellent level of

1834
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 11: defensive end depth against the Cowboys.

1835
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought it was interesting.

1836
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 2: After the game, I was talking to coach Ryan's and

1837
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 2: we're doing our postgame interview and I got to the

1838
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: I finally got to talked about the defense for a whiles. Okay,

1839
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 2: Coach talking about the big play of the night, Derek Barnett,

1840
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera.

1841
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 8: And he says, you know, he made that mistake earlier

1842
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 8: on the field.

1843
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 2: Goal and it was legit hat slap and you know, look,

1844
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 2: Derek did't me to do it, but he did it.

1845
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 8: And took the points on off the board.

1846
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 2: Ended up working out because text ended up not giving

1847
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 2: up points on that drive. But coach said that Derek

1848
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 2: came over to him and said, Coach, I owe you one.

1849
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 8: Chuckle and he repaid it was like, I guess he

1850
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 8: repaid it, Coach. He goes, oh, yeah, I repaid it

1851
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 8: a big way.

1852
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 2: And I know what do we throw eleven games now?

1853
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 8: And you know last year when we picked up Derek.

1854
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 2: Barnett, I remember like, man, really, this is a really

1855
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 2: good pickup. And then he had a sack or a

1856
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 2: TfL in every game he included playoff games. I think

1857
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 2: it was playing one game where he didn't have a

1858
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 2: sack and he was incredible. And it's been a little

1859
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 2: quieter this year. But he went right around the rookie

1860
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 2: Tyler Geydon, I mean just dipped and just and I

1861
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 2: was like whoa, And I was like right in line

1862
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 2: with it so I could see him. I'm like, oh,

1863
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 2: I get excited because I can see that he's won

1864
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 2: the rep.

1865
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,719
Speaker 8: But can he get the ball? And the ball pops out.

1866
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 2: And then chaos begins and then Kami Kazi Petrie comes

1867
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 2: in and knocks it away from Geydon. He tries to

1868
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 2: pick it up, he can't do it. Derek is finally

1869
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 2: back on his feet, and so I don't know what

1870
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 2: that play is going to be called. You know, two

1871
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 2: strips one scooping score.

1872
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 8: I don't know, but.

1873
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 2: Two force fumbles, a sack, two force fumbles, a fumble recovery,

1874
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 2: and a touchdown all in the same play. And Drew

1875
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 2: we we talked about this last week, you know, what

1876
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,759
Speaker 2: what the environment would be like at at and T Stadium,

1877
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 2: and so I don't know if it just so.

1878
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 8: Happened to be.

1879
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:29,599
Speaker 2: I don't know why it was that area, but where

1880
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 2: Derek scored, that seemed to be the strongest and thickest,

1881
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:38,520
Speaker 2: uh congregation of Texans fans in that corner.

1882
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 11: As it was fourteen as it was Remember when Andre

1883
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 11: Johnson was pointed to that corner and it.

1884
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 2: Was all in, that is all in that corner, and

1885
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 2: that's and I was right there, and I just remember

1886
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 2: I told myself, look up, just look up and take

1887
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 2: it in. And I looked up and they're Texans fan

1888
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 2: I mean, all every level in that corner just going crazy.

1889
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 2: And it was it was really cool. I mean, I'm

1890
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 2: getting chills kind of talking about it right now. And

1891
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 2: you could tell that this game meant a little more

1892
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:09,759
Speaker 2: than just Okay.

1893
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 8: Let's end this two game losing streak sort of thing.

1894
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's Monday night football sort of thing it

1895
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 2: was we beat these dudes in their house and physically

1896
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 2: beat them up at times.

1897
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 8: And that was really probably.

1898
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 2: The one thing that stood out more than anything else,

1899
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 2: is you know, we walked in, you know, like Charlie Murphy,

1900
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 2: you know, playing.

1901
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 8: Rick James putting his boots off on a couch.

1902
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 2: It was like, you know, I'm Rick James, and you know,

1903
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:39,680
Speaker 2: we walked in and so where the Texans and Cowboys

1904
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 2: didn't break early, but they eventually broke late. And that

1905
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 2: that even before that play, you could tell there was

1906
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 2: this thought of, oh boy, these guys keep coming.

1907
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 8: This is kind of relentless.

1908
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 2: Oh man, And that was really cool to see, especially

1909
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:57,839
Speaker 2: then the offensive line and you know it got chippy

1910
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 2: for a little bit. Yeah, and you know I didn't

1911
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 2: I didn't mind it on this night. I didn't mind it,

1912
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 2: even when they were like six flags thrown in front

1913
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 2: of me. At one point, I was like, six flags

1914
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 2: is over there. We don't need six flags on the field.

1915
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 2: But I was happy to see that. Especially it was

1916
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 2: the offensive line that was in the part of that

1917
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 2: dust up, like you're not going to push this around.

1918
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 2: We're the ones, you know, We're the ones that knock

1919
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 2: and I think that's got to be the way this

1920
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 2: offensive line carries itself going forward. Now it can't be

1921
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 2: unself aware, but it has to carry itself like that.

1922
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 2: And I happen to see that breaking bad moment when

1923
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 2: Skyler is finding out about Walt, and Walt is like,

1924
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 2: I am not the one.

1925
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 8: I can't remember what.

1926
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 2: He says, but at the end he goes, I am

1927
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 2: the one who knocks, like we need to be the

1928
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,560
Speaker 2: one that knocks. And I think that's one of the

1929
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 2: most powerful scenes to break it bad. And it was

1930
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 2: powerful the other night watching it was really really cool

1931
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 2: to see the Texans really physically take over that game

1932
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:55,839
Speaker 2: in their building.

1933
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 11: Okay, so think about it. After that fourth home win,

1934
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 11: you wrote in Rerharse Hits about what the Texans had

1935
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 11: done to opposing quarterbacks in their home stadium, in the

1936
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 11: in Energy Stadium, and you adding what they did to

1937
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,719
Speaker 11: Jared Goff five interceptions. Coming into the Golf game, Texas

1938
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 11: ravaging three and a half picks per opponents quarterbacks. They

1939
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,719
Speaker 11: were combined about forty five percent. Now, Golf completed fifty

1940
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 11: percent of his passes, which is well under what he

1941
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 11: normally does. You can't call it a home game, but

1942
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 11: it felt like a home game the other night, right, So,

1943
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 11: and like let's say five and a half home games.

1944
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 11: Look at what this Texans defense has done. I mean,

1945
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 11: it's been ferocious, ferocious. And now it's not it's not

1946
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 11: equated to an undefeated record. You did lose to the Lions.

1947
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 11: But man, this this Texans defense at home is something nasty.

1948
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 11: And there have been some bad quarterbacks they've beaten up. Yes,

1949
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 11: there's also been two MVP candidates in golf and Josh

1950
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 11: Allen that they really they gave him the business. So

1951
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,839
Speaker 11: they're gonna give you think, the business to a Tennessee

1952
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 11: Titans quarterback this weekend because why why wouldn't they, you know,

1953
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 11: And let's let's get in. Let's welcome in the macho man,

1954
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 11: Randy Savage the crop for his Cream of the Crop.

1955
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:18,880
Speaker 11: A little saying there, because we've got to get our

1956
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 11: Cream of the Crop award winners.

1957
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:22,480
Speaker 9: Who will be a Cream of the Crop.

1958
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 11: Award winner on Sunday afternoon around three thirty ish. If

1959
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 11: the Texans were to have pulled off another victory, they're

1960
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 11: second straight, their fifth of six home game victories.

1961
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 9: If it happens, I think it's gonna happen. It needs

1962
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:37,800
Speaker 9: to happen.

1963
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:41,880
Speaker 11: The Texans should beat a division rival. So with that

1964
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 11: in mind, I'm gonna go back to the well. I've

1965
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 11: chosen this guy before. He was a Tennessee Titan, and

1966
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 11: he was on the Tennessee Titans defense last year. And

1967
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 11: no it's not as he's al Shay here, although he

1968
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,639
Speaker 11: is incredibly important. I'm gonna go with my guy, Denico

1969
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:00,000
Speaker 11: Autry because he's he's starting to hum along now John.

1970
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 11: He is getting after the quarterback. He's causing problems. He

1971
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 11: was wicked against the Lions a couple of weeks ago.

1972
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 11: He got he got going, he got going on Monday

1973
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 11: Night against the Cowboys. I'm picking Denico Autrey as my

1974
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 11: cream of the crop player for the Texans versus the Titans.

1975
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 9: I think he's going to get his I think it's

1976
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 9: gonna be a fun time.

1977
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:21,760
Speaker 11: Don't know yet about Will Anderson, but even if Will

1978
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 11: Anderson is there, I think Nico Autrey is going to feast.

1979
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 2: To that end when Will Anderson is ready to come

1980
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 2: back and you're rushing with Deniko and Daniel and Will

1981
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 2: and Barnett and Dylan. Harton has done some good things,

1982
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 2: and sure Hughes has still got some juice up yet.

1983
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean you can get you can get really deep

1984
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 2: with that position. Now you might have to make a

1985
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 2: decision you want to carry that many you might.

1986
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 8: We'll see how that goes.

1987
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 5: But there's in.

1988
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 9: Certain downs you can you can mix in on the

1989
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:56,760
Speaker 9: inside a little bit.

1990
01:30:57,280 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely and look, the inside could use it. You know,

1991
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 2: No that that hurts. And hopefully Folly can get back

1992
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 2: because I think he is instrumental in this. But Tim

1993
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 2: Settle has played tremendous.

1994
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:07,760
Speaker 8: You know, somebody.

1995
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 2: Had had put a tweet up the other day, Drew,

1996
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 2: and I wish I had the tweet, but it was

1997
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 2: somebody from I think it was the Jacksonville media or

1998
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 2: a Jacksonville fan that the Jacksonville media was retweeting, and

1999
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 2: it showed who who had generated the most pressures. Now,

2000
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't think it was next Gen stats because it

2001
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 2: had Daniil second behind Josh heinz Allen. It was in

2002
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:30,439
Speaker 2: the AFC South and so lit's like nine guys and

2003
01:31:30,479 --> 01:31:33,720
Speaker 2: these like top pressure producers in the AFC South, and

2004
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 2: every team had get two guys in there. Our two guys,

2005
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 2: Will and Daniel were hip on the list, it was

2006
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 2: Josh Hans Allen, Trayvon Walker and then snuck right in

2007
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:46,040
Speaker 2: the middle with twenty four pressures Tim Settle mm hmm.

2008
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 2: We were the only team to have three, and that

2009
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 2: I think was the only interior guy to have it

2010
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:53,360
Speaker 2: on there maybe Simmons as well. And that's gonna lead

2011
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 2: me to my creamy the crop this week. Yeah, and

2012
01:31:55,880 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 2: that is that is Shack Mason, because Shaq is gonna

2013
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:04,680
Speaker 2: get to see Jeffrey Simmons. He's also if it's not

2014
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Simmons, he's gonna get to see to and Andre Sweat.

2015
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,640
Speaker 8: And even though even though Sweat.

2016
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:14,600
Speaker 2: Is, you know, still a work in progress, there's a

2017
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 2: way that you have to attack him, and you have

2018
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,720
Speaker 2: to be I'm trying to think of the right way

2019
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 2: of saying this, but you have to be relentless in

2020
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:26,439
Speaker 2: your attack of him because that's when he gets worn down.

2021
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 2: If you're blocking one two and then you're looking around

2022
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 2: for the ball because the timing of your head says

2023
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 2: the ball should be gone or you know, the run

2024
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 2: should be past you.

2025
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 8: You have to stay.

2026
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 2: On that guy, especially Sweat, one hundred percent of the

2027
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 2: time till the whistle's blown.

2028
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:41,759
Speaker 8: One hundred percent.

2029
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,719
Speaker 2: And that's something that every offensive line for the Texans

2030
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 2: has got to do a little bit better of.

2031
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:47,480
Speaker 8: They've got to be able.

2032
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 2: To stay on those blocks longer and not look at

2033
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 2: what CJ's doing, Not look at what Joe's doing.

2034
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 8: Now look for where the ball is. My responsibility is

2035
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 8: that guy right there in this particular play, and.

2036
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay in front of him, and I'm gonna

2037
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:04,960
Speaker 2: stay on the block until that damn whistle blows. Because

2038
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,559
Speaker 2: the second guy turn around and start looking. What happens

2039
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,799
Speaker 2: that guy starts chasing and even if it's sweat, Sweat's

2040
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 2: a big old dude, but he can go find it now.

2041
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 8: I didn't put.

2042
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 2: Jarrett or Juice in there because you know, there's still

2043
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:19,599
Speaker 2: guys that are learning the game. The second year guys,

2044
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 2: you know still work in progress. Of those two, so

2045
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 2: I kind of get it. But Shack, he's the grizzled vet.

2046
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 2: He's the guy that has to be the tone setter

2047
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 2: in the middle, especially against those two dudes. And if

2048
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 2: you control ninety eight and ninety seven, then you've got

2049
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 2: a really good opportunity to do what you want to do,

2050
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,799
Speaker 2: and that's to run the balls. Have balance in your offense,

2051
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,599
Speaker 2: give CJ time to throw, let Joe run the rock.

2052
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:44,839
Speaker 8: It's a really good defense.

2053
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,040
Speaker 2: It's a really good defense because of those two big

2054
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 2: dudes in the middle, a lot of teams can't block them.

2055
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 2: So to me, my cream of the Croppers is Shack

2056
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 2: Mason for this week.

2057
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 9: I like it.

2058
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,519
Speaker 11: That's a good choice because those are probably the two

2059
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:56,960
Speaker 11: of the best players on the Tennessee Titans.

2060
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 9: Is two interior defensive linemans.

2061
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:00,759
Speaker 8: Absolutely good point.

2062
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:02,679
Speaker 9: They'll give you some work. They'll give you some work

2063
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:03,680
Speaker 9: for sure. So you got it.

2064
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:06,439
Speaker 2: And the thing about your your choice of a think

2065
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:09,760
Speaker 2: is a great one because number eight is gonna hold

2066
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:12,760
Speaker 2: the ball. Yes he'll throw it deep, he'll throw it deep,

2067
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:16,680
Speaker 2: but he will hold the ball. And the Vikings got

2068
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 2: a ten point lead the other day and now he's

2069
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 2: holding it longer and they ate all game long. And

2070
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 2: last year in both games we did the.

2071
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 8: Same thing until he was knocked out of the second one.

2072
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 2: And if he's going to hold the ball like that,

2073
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 2: those guys are ruthless upfront, and they really really tapped

2074
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,640
Speaker 2: into it on Monday night, and so I'm hoping that

2075
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:39,560
Speaker 2: same thing, that kind of ruthlessness comes to the forefront

2076
01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 2: and they get after it.

2077
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 8: And by the way, we didn't.

2078
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:44,839
Speaker 2: We didn't we focused on Deniko Autry and and Shaq Mason,

2079
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 2: Daniel Hunter.

2080
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:49,959
Speaker 8: Holy smokes, it was amazing.

2081
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:52,479
Speaker 11: Seven and a half sacks down this year. He's been

2082
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 11: everything you've wanted. Man, pressure quarterback. He's been relentless.

2083
01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 8: Every damn dime that the Texans are paying him.

2084
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 2: And I know that the McNair's you know, I don't

2085
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,559
Speaker 2: want to spend your money, but man, it was spent

2086
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 2: very very well for that young man.

2087
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 6: He is.

2088
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 8: I love him.

2089
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:09,439
Speaker 6: He is Drew.

2090
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 2: He was my postgame interview and so you know a

2091
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 2: lot of times for postgame interviews, I just try and

2092
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 2: get the interview wherever I can. And so You're sitting

2093
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 2: at his locker and so I walk over there and

2094
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm kind of hunched over a little bit kind of

2095
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:23,679
Speaker 2: standards kind of equipment, and he was like, he's like, John,

2096
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 2: sit down, and he kind of slid over on his

2097
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 2: locker so I could sit down next to him. That's

2098
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 2: locker like sit and just do the interview that way.

2099
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't think any player has

2100
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:32,680
Speaker 2: ever done that.

2101
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 11: I was gonna say that's kind of uncommon, really is.

2102
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2103
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:37,760
Speaker 2: I love that dude, Danil Hunter, and I love the

2104
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,600
Speaker 2: way he plays. He's got a lot more game left. Unfortunately,

2105
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:42,519
Speaker 2: we have no more show left because you got turned

2106
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,639
