1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Let's feed on each other. Let's go the end shows

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: like side when that Hotcas touchdown. Heros game day is

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: every day. I goes to the Animals five nights a week.

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: They hits keep on coming. He's got it. How about ten?

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Now from inside NRG Stadium, It's Texans All Excess presented

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: by Geico. What is going on with people in Houston,

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Texas fans everywhere? Welcome in to a Monday edition of

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: Texans All Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: am your host, John Harris, Football Anas and sideline reporter

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: and looking forward to go to London. Baby, go to

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: London for the first time. Second Tatan, sorry, third time

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: outside the country Spain, Mexico. Now going to London, first

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: time there. So pretty excited for that. More excited to

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: see the Texans go to London and get a win

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: and get the six and three after yesterday to five

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: even three with a twenty seven twenty four come from

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: behind win over the Oakland Raiders. And it'll be the

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: last time presumably that the Texans would face the Oakland

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: Raiders because starting in twenty twenty, they will be the

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders, which would be all kinds of interesting.

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that all shakes out in the

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: scheduling going forward. You know, if the Raiders somehow find

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: a way to win the division, Texas win a division,

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: they'll meet up, maybe the Raiders a second Texas or

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: second they'll meet up. But got a long way to

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: go in this season. But yesterday it was Deshaun Watson's day,

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: it was DeAndre Hopkins day. It was the Texans winning day,

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: with one bittersweet emotional loss in that being JJ Watt

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: with the torn peck according to reports, and that's what

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm going on that he will have surgery in the

31
00:01:52,480 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: near future. So hate that obviously for so many different reasons.

32
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: Top of the list ends up being what it does

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: to his defense. But we're seeing this defense do some

34
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: things without JJ. In twenty sixteen, that had the number

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: one defense in the league. Twenty seventeen, they had some

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: moments not great, and then they also lost Whitney Merciless

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: at that time too. Now, I know a lot of

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: people went to Devion Climbs Trader thought, well, okay, you

39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: better stay healthy because you got what you got Merciless,

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: You've got to have two of them. Well, now, there's one,

41
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: and we'll see who else steps into the void, because

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be the challenge. Especially this week against

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. JJ was getting done in the pass

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: rush game. There's no question, but man against the run,

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: and unfortunately it was on the on a run play

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: where he had one of the best moves I've seen.

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: He dips inside Trent Brown and tackles Josh Jacobs in

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: a hiccup. I mean just boom done and then got

49
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: up and you kind of see him wins a little bit,

50
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: and I guess on a television screen they caught him

51
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: and he's kind of moving around his arms kind of

52
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: as something right. The next play, there was a delay

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: a game or there was a penalty of some sort,

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: and that's when JJ got off the ball. He kind

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: of avoided a blocker and he realized, okay, something's not right,

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: went to the sideline. At that point, he walked right

57
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: in front of me and I was trying to I

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: was hoping, Okay, well, maybe he just needs to blow.

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you get the air knocked out of him, because

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: that kind of tackle that you see sometimes you get

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: a cleat underneath your shoulder pads. Maybe you get the

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: breath knocked out. But unfortunately it was a season ending

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: injury for JJ Watt. Now, if you want to feel

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: better about the defense, Lonnie goes out with five minutes,

65
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: and that's not gonna make you feeling better. But JJ

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: went out with five fifty five. A little bit later,

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: Lonnie goes out at five the second quarter after they

68
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: both went out. Now, keep in mind that's also without

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Robie Jjoe to Sean Gibson on the field. Now you

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: take Lonnie and JJ off the field, you got five

71
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: starters presumably off the field, and yet you held the

72
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Raiders ten points. That was an offense that was killing

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: it in the run game, throwing the ball very well

74
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: with Derek Carr. Derek cars completely starventy four percent of

75
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: his passes complete, only sixty percent of his passes. And yeah,

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: Texans got got on a tremendous pick play to Terrell Williams,

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: but Garyan Connelly had made a great pass breakup. He

78
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: actually had one down their sideline, one down our sideline

79
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: early in the game, one down their sideline of late

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: in the game. In fact, I think it was their

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: last offensive play, and Keian Crossing had one on Terrell

82
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: Williams as well. Was it perfect? No, not at all,

83
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: but timely, very timely. But held the Raiders to ten

84
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: points over the last half, like a half and half

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: of a quarter. How would I say that last two

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: and a half quarters? Is that better? Yeah? But last

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: two and a half quarters helped ten points and then

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: the offense got cranked up and it was it was

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: tough to stop in the second half. He catches by

90
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: hop eleven four, one on nine. I believe he is

91
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: the third youngest to ever get to eight thousand yards.

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: The two names Randy Mossonlrey Fitzgerald you'd probably have heard before.

93
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: That's the company that DeAndre Hopkins is keeping at this

94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: particular moment. It's been unbelievable. Now. I like to do

95
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: this to kick off our Monday's show because the week

96
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: is almost come to a close. Almost. We got one

97
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: game tonight and that ends up being the Dolphins, Oh boy,

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh on a Monday night,

99
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick is starting for the Miami Dolphins. The

100
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: last time fits he started at Pittsburgh on a Monday night,

101
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: it was in twenty fourteen. We were there and it

102
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: went poorly at the half. Near the half, Here's what

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: I remember about that game. The Texans really have moved

104
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: it up down the field. I want to say they

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: were up thirteen to three. It was third and ten

106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: and Ben Roethlisberger drew a couple of guys offside and

107
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: he got rushed badly and had thrown away. Well. That

108
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: gave him a third and five. Ben Roethlisberger found Levion

109
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Bell who then went for like thirty yards and then

110
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the onslought over. The next five minutes was on. They

111
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: scored on that drive. We turn it over. They scored

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: on that drive. We turn it over again. They scored

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: on that drive. It was like boom, bang boom. It

114
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: was twenty four thirteen in a blink. And yet even

115
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: with that happening, the Texans head an on site kick

116
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: would just under two minutes left to get the ball

117
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: back for a chance to tie the game. It was crazy,

118
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: but that was a Ryan Fitzpatrick joint back in twenty fourteen.

119
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Tonight a little different. You don't have quite the man

120
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: power alongside him with Miami's squad, as he'll be facing

121
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight at Hines Field. And we need

122
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to kind of get a little momentum. Next week

123
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: it's the Colt Stone in Pittsburgh, so we need Pittsburgh

124
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: to step it up. Now, what happened in games yesterday

125
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: across the landscape of the NFL, Well, let's start down

126
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: in Atlanta where match shop started for the Atlanta Falcons

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: and respectable. He threw it fifty two times. Now he

128
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: completed thirty nine of them, so that's not half bad.

129
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Seventy five percent of those. It's not a half bad day.

130
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Four hundred and sixty yards, had a touchdown and had

131
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: an interception. It's almost one hundred rating. Didn't run the

132
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: ball really really well at all, Julio huge. But the

133
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks the story. Russell Wilson was fourteen of twenty two touchdowns,

134
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: the interception rating on one thirty two, and Tyler Lockett

135
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: six catches on six targets hundred yards. DK Metcalf had

136
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He had three receptions for thirteen yards and

137
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: two of them were touchdown. Fantasy owners are losing their

138
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: mind as the Seahawks get a twenty seven to twenty win.

139
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: They were up decisively in this one and then the

140
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Falcons came back to make it type, but the Seahawks

141
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: fifth win moved to six and two and the Falcons

142
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: are one and seven and dan Quinn watch is on. Unfortunately,

143
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: because I think DQ is. I've talked to people Atlanta

144
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: when they were here and they were like, we love

145
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: this guy, so I hate to see it. But this

146
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: reality NFL, the Eagles and Bills. This was one that

147
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: I was really curious about heading into this game. The

148
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: Bills were stout, they were slowing everybody in the run

149
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: game in particular yesterday not the case. The Eagles ran

150
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: forty one times for two hundred and eighteen yards. Miles

151
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Sanders had a sixty five yard touchdown run. Jordan Howard

152
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: had twenty three carries for ninety six yards and a touchdown.

153
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: Boston Scott, a darren Sproles clone, had a touchdown three

154
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Dallas Goddard had the receiving touchdown from Carson

155
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Wentz and the Eagles go into windy Buffalo and get

156
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: a win. There were twenty five mile on our wins

157
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: all the way up to forty and this one, and

158
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles come back with a much needed win, drops

159
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: the Bills to five and two after the bye week

160
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Eagles at four and four, trying to get back in

161
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: that thing in the NFC. Speaking NFC, this was one

162
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: of the more interesting games of the day and it

163
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: featured two teams with losing records, the LA Chargers What

164
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: to Chicago. The Bears did everything but put the game

165
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: on the platter for the Chargers, and the Chargers is like,

166
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: all right, we'll take it, and they did finally. Usually

167
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: it's the other way around. Usually the Chargers of the

168
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: one kind of offering things up at the end, but

169
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: this one they were takers and they beat the Bears.

170
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: Seventeen sixteen, Austin Eckler catches a touchdown pass from Philip

171
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: Rivers with about eight minutes left in the game, and

172
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: the Bears move the ball down into fieldal territory with

173
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: about forty five seconds left and decide to play it

174
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: safe and Eddie Pinero goes wide left missus. Chargers get

175
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: the win, go to three and five, Bears fall to

176
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: three and four, and the sky is falling in Chicago. Oh,

177
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: it's falling. Lions get a thirty one twenty six win

178
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: over the New York Giants. The Gman gets skawon Barkley back,

179
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: he's been back for a couple of weeks. Thirteen carries

180
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: sixty four yards for Barkley. Not a ton for the

181
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: Lions on the ground, But Matt Stafford was stupid good

182
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: yesterday twenty five to thirty two for three forty two

183
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, did throw a pick, Kenny Gallada one hundred

184
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: and twenty three yards receiving two touchdowns and Marvin Halt

185
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Junior with a forty nine yard touchdown as well. Stafford

186
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: lights it up the Lions, which is to be expected

187
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: because this is the way the Lions have been all

188
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: year three, three and one. Then the game that tore

189
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: our heart out. You heard or you will hurt here

190
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: earlier what happens in this game, because there was a

191
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: little bet between my two pals, Mark and Andre, and

192
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm really mad at Mark for this whole thing. The

193
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Colts get a win fifteen thirteen and shouldn't have. Shouldn't have.

194
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: The Broncos did just enough in this game to get

195
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: a thirteen twelve lead. Defense planned very very well. The

196
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: problem for the Broncos was two long drives resulted in

197
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: field goals twenty one yard field goal twenty nine yard

198
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: field goal that made it sixth to nothing instead of

199
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: being fourteen nothing. Vinetary missed the extra point that would

200
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: have made it thirteen twelve, and the Broncos eskewed a

201
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: fourth and five go for its situation punted. The Colts

202
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: in deep up by one. Von Miller has Jacoby Brissette

203
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: for a sack in the end zone. Brissette wiggles out

204
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: of it, throws it down the field to t Y Hilton,

205
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: catches it, gets out of bounds. The drive continues and

206
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: then Adam Vinetary hits the game winner from fifty one

207
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: yards two fifty fifty plus fields for Vinetaria forty five

208
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: yard as well. Even though he missed that extra point,

209
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: he was wide right on another field goal. He hits

210
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: those three big ones. The Colts get a win yesterday.

211
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: The Jags, we're pretty darn good yesterday beating the New

212
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: York Jets. Now, say what you will about the Jets,

213
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: not a very good football team, but Gardner Minshew's getting

214
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: it done. Twenty two thirty four for two seventy nine

215
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. Leonard Fournette did have seventy six yards

216
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: in the ground. Buddy has sixty six of that on

217
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: one run, so he went eighteen carries ten yards, sixty

218
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: six yards and Jagworth didn't run on that well, but

219
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: they threw it Connley with a touchdown a seventy yard

220
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: or he goes four for one oh three chart with

221
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: seventy nine yards, but Fournette caught it in the air

222
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: seven for sixty as three receiving touchdowns from Chart, Conney

223
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: and Cole. They get it done twenty nine to fifteen,

224
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Four. Ryan Griffin, formerly the Texans for the Jets.

225
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: Jets vaulted one in six Jags four and four. How

226
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: close are the Jags and Texans to being flipped and

227
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: the Texans being formed four in the Jags being five

228
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: and three. I didn't want to think about that. I

229
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: don't want to think about that. Back to thirteen twelve,

230
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: the Rams go to Wembley where we'll be on Sunday,

231
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: and they beat the Bengals twenty four ten, and that's

232
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: all I got to say about that. The Saints and Cardinals,

233
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals had this thing close for a little bit, and

234
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: then the Cardinals, I'm sorry, the Saints defense and running

235
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: game took over. Davius Murray hundred two yards on the

236
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: ground and a touchdown. No. Alvin Camarinus once from Murray

237
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: picked up the slack. Drew Brees thirty four forty three

238
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: three seventy three, three touchdowns. Michael Thomas had eleven from

239
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: one twelve in a touch Murray along with one hundred

240
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: two rushing yards, had nine catches for fifty five yards

241
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: in a touch and you had Troy Hill with a

242
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: touchdown coming out of the tight end group. The Cardinals

243
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: ran at forty times. They had a trade for running

244
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: back today Kenyan Drake, because all the running backs in

245
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Phoenix are done well, at least for a little while.

246
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds got hurt yesterday after David Johnson's hurting a

247
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: week for that, they traded for Kenyan Drake today. Drake

248
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: now a Cardinal Cardinals fault to three, four and one

249
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: the Saints at seven and one the Titans and the Buccaneers.

250
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: Similar to the Colts, they should not have one. Yesterday

251
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: a blown call a fake field goal with a twenty

252
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: seven twenty three. The Titans lined up for a field goal,

253
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: went to kick it and faked it. Brett Current, running

254
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: off to the left side, gets drilled by livebacker Devin White,

255
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: ball in the ground, Bucks pick it up, run for

256
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Oh no, the refs blew it dead. Titans

257
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: win twenty seven twenty three. Tannehill solid twenty one for

258
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: thirty three one ninety three, but he had three touchdowns.

259
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: That was the difference. A. J. Brown gets his one,

260
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: Taj Sharpe gets one, and John Hu Smith leads the

261
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: Titans and receiving the tight end six or seventy eight

262
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: one touchdown with Laney, Walker Andreed. Titans are also at

263
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: four and four meeting. Every team in the ANFC South

264
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: is five hundred or better. In the most dominant performance

265
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: of the day, the San Francisco forty nine ers destroyed

266
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Now, Christian McCaffrey did have one hundred and

267
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: seventeen yards rushing and he had thirty eight receiving. He

268
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: had rushing touch down, but Tevin Coleman had one hundred

269
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: and five yards on eleven carries. It's a nine and

270
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: a half yard average. Three touchdowns. Rohe Moss start one touchdown,

271
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel ran one in. Samuel also had three catches.

272
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: George Kittle Nationale tight ends day had six catches for

273
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: eighty six yards, but The real star in this game

274
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: was rookie Nick Bosa. Four tackles, three sacks, three TFLs,

275
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks, hit, hits, an interception in a pass defense.

276
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: The rookie has been destroying it. The forty nine Ers

277
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: defense gets it done. They shut down Kyle Allen and company.

278
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Niners seven and oh Panthers fall to four and three

279
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: fifty one to thirteen, which leads me to Patriots, the

280
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: other undefeated team in the NFL. The Patriots hammered the Browns.

281
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Patriots scores seventeen in the first quarter and that was enough.

282
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: That was it. Baker Mayfield touch and interception, one hundred

283
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: and ninety four yards. Nick Chubb ran for a lot

284
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: of yards, but he turned it over twice as well.

285
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: Those are killers. The Patriots defense is turning teams over

286
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: like I've never seen. That has been the whole difference

287
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: in that team season. Patriots eight and o twenty seven

288
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: thirteen over the Browns. And then at Sunday Night football,

289
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: really fun game. Matt More I thought was extremely respectable

290
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. He's not Patrick Mahomes, but he had

291
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: twenty completed twenty four to thirty six for two sixty

292
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: seven and two touchdowns, no interceptions. Did a nice job,

293
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: but Aaron Rodgers was supremely good. Twenty three to thirty three,

294
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: three hundred and five yards, three touchdowns. Aaron Jones seven catches,

295
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nine yards and two touchdowns. Oh,

296
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: by the way, Aaron Jones plays running back. He also

297
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: had thirteen carries for sixty seven yards. So he had

298
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: twenty touches for two hundred and twenty six yards and

299
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. A great win for green Bay. The Packers, boy,

300
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: they look good, really good. Seventy one the chief fall

301
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: through five and three and there as you're around the

302

316
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: to this Monday edition of Texas All Access from the

317
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I am John Harris. It's time

318
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 1: to catch up with the other John in our life,

319
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: and that is the venerable the General John McClean. We

320
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: caught up with him this morning. How about that yesterday?

321
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: That performance by number four, John, How do you even

322
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: characterize that? How do you describe that? And what he's doing? Well,

323
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of a Houdini type escape from a defensive end.

324
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: Arden Key I accidentally kicked him in the eye, of course,

325
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: and there was a magnificent play by Watson, but it

326
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: was a tremendous catch by Fells as well. And Fells,

327
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: who had his best game as best catch was on

328
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: the last drive making a one ended catch of a

329
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: low look like low and outside pitch that he caught

330
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: for first down and that allowed them to run out

331
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: the clock. And I thought, in my forty three years

332
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: of covering the NFL, considering the adversity they had going

333
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: into the game in the secondary, losing Lonnie Johnson and

334
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: then of course losing WAT losing Laramie Tonsil on that

335
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: last drive, I've never seen a more impressive victory, especially

336
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: with the way they pulled it out. And the Raiders

337
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: are no slouches. You know, the Raiders wanted Indianapolis, they

338
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: wanted London over Chicago. But there's been a Paul cast

339
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: to with this victory because of what suffering that season

340
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: ending pectoral mussel injury. And that's very sad for him,

341
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: of course, because he played such an instrumental role, and

342
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: it's too bad because he was off to another good

343
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: year and he made it sake Shard Laws on a

344
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: running play in which he got to hurt. But so

345
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: I would call it bitter sweet, yes, John, That's exactly

346
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: the word. With everything that went on this weekend in

347
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: the city of Houston, with a win by the Rockets

348
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and then obviously the winds by the Astros

349
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: the win yesterday for the Texans, you had that bitter

350
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: sweet build us follow so you know as well as

351
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: anybody you've been around the league for a long time.

352
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: Next man up philosophy. This is hard to go one

353
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: from one with J. J. Watt. You can't find it.

354
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: But what do you think happens going forward? We talked

355
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: about this a little while ago with some of the

356
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: things that they could do with the guys that have

357
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: on hand. But how you think the Romeo Carnal defense

358
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: is shaped now without JJ going forward? They were struggling

359
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: to rush to passer anyway. I don't know how long's

360
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: ben since they've had more than one sack, and I

361
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: think that do rookie Charles A many who played more

362
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: you could I remember last season Brandon Dunne started ten

363
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: games on the nose and DJ Readers started outside of

364
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: the three men front, So that they wanted to they

365
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: could put done on the nose and add Blackson and

366
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: Reader at end, and that would certainly give them a

367
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: beefy front. And they did another actress slow start. They

368
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: did another great job against the run contained Josh Jacobs

369
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: only gave up I think twenty twenty six yards rushing

370
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: in the fourth second half something like that, and so

371
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: or they could just play a many who in his place.

372
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: Maybe Carlos Watkins gets active more. But and then also

373
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: trader Bill mars a deadline at three o'clock, the way

374
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien made that deal for Gary Conley last week

375
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: to help shore up that weakness. And maybe he'll make

376
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: a trade. I'm sure everybody's got a defensive lineman's calling

377
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: him right now. But we'll see, you know, does it

378
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: What does he want to trade? If indeed he makes

379
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: a trade, that's a good point, John, I mean the

380
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: currency he still has a lot relatively. I mean, the

381
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: first rounder is obviously not plentiful at this stage, but

382
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: more picks than a lot of people think. John, Let's

383
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: go over the AFC South here for a moment, because

384
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: you have four teams in the division, obviously, and everybody's

385
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: five hundred or above. And what I find interesting is

386
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: that you have reserve quarterbacks playing for the other three teams.

387
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean Brissette as a starter, now let's just call

388
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: him that. But we all expected Andrew Luck to be

389
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: playing Tannehill and plays to Mariota and Minshew doing a

390
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty good job in Jacksonville. Your thoughts on the landscape

391
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: of the division. All four teams won yesterday and Gardner

392
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: Minshew the mustachk through threetown passes, no interceptions. They had

393
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: a fourteen point victory over the Jets. The other games

394
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: were closed. Tennessee won but four Texas three, Colts two

395
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: on a Vinitary field goal with twenty two seconds left.

396
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: Fifty one yard field goal with twenty two seconds left.

397
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: Tanning Hill and his two stars says five touchdowns and

398
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: one interception. He didn't throw for a lot of yards yesterday,

399
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: but the Titans won. They got really lucky because Mike

400
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: Brabell called for a fake field goal with three forty

401
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: one left and the holder, Brett Kern, was tackled. He fumbled,

402
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: The Bucks picked it up, returned for a touchdown, but

403
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: an official had blown the play dead thinking Kern was down,

404
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: didn't see the ball coming out. Of course, Bruce Arians

405
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: went ballistic and sold as the Bucks because they got

406
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: robbed in and the Titans got lucky. But they forced

407
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: four Jamis Winston turnovers. So they've won two in a row.

408
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars have won two in a row. Colts have won

409
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: three in a row. It's been unbelieve I told people.

410
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people I told you told

411
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: us too. Safecy South is gonna be a monster, just

412
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: telling you it's gonna be a monster, and it's really

413
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: it's turning. It's turning into that with all four teams,

414
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: and somebody put this out that the season in today

415
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: halfway through, that the Colts would be the three seed,

416
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: three seed, yeah, the two seed, The Texans would be

417
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: the six, the Jags would be the seven, the Titans

418
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: would be the eight. Four the teams in the NFC

419
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: South would be in the top eight in the AFC.

420
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: One team that's not mentioned there, John is the Cleveland Browns.

421
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: As the Browns go up and struggle again against the

422
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: New England Patriots two and five, I believe the record is.

423
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a chance that this could be

424
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: one and done for Freddie Kitchens in Cleveland? I think

425
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance of that. You know, he

426
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: was he got that job because of the job he

427
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: did as the promoted offensive coordinator under interim coach Greg Williams,

428
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: in which he took over the offense and Mayfield played

429
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: great and in the retroster back people said, well they

430
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: should hire a new head coach and kept him. Well,

431
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have been fair. You know, I'm not for

432
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: new head coaches being forced to keep assistance. If you

433
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: don't trust him enough when you hire him, then don't

434
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: hire him. But he did do the last great job

435
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: last year. He was never mentioned as head coach to

436
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: write the end with somebody ask him. Greg Williams never

437
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: made any bones about it. But so they've been one

438
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: of the bigger disappointment disappointments in the league. And I

439
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: think he's like Steve Wilkes was Arizona and Mike McLardy

440
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: was one year, and Jim tom was Scott tom Sula.

441
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: There are some guys one and done in this era

442
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: of the NFL, and I think he's gonna be one

443
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: John in the NFC Green Bay, New Orleans both seven

444
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: and one. San Francisco undefeated. Your thoughts on who the

445
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: best team in that conference is. I picked the Saints

446
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: against the Colts of the Super Bowl. When Drew Brees

447
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: came back a week earlier than everybody thought thought he'd

448
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: be after the bye week. He played really well, three

449
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Their defense is playing great. Forty nine ers

450
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: got to be the biggest surprise in the league. They're

451
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: running the ball the old fashioned way playing great defense.

452
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: Don't turn it over that they've just Kyle Shanahan's done

453
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: a tremendous job, and those seem to be the two

454
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: best teams. Minnesota's coming on fast. You can see Gary

455
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: Kubiak's influence on that offense, with Kirk Cousins improving in

456
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: the running game with Dalvin Cook. Nobody's given Kubiak any publicity,

457
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: but I think that you can see his fingerprints on

458
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: that offense. And right now, I think the NFC is

459
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: better than the AFC, other than New England. Of course,

460
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: New England's defense continues to do fantastic things, but they

461
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: still have played the schedule. It's unbelievably easy except for Buffalo.

462
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: And Buffalo just got creamed at home by Philadelphia. So

463
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: we'll see. I want to see what the Patriots do

464
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: against Carson Wins Dak Prescott to Shaun Watson and Pedrick Moms. Yeah, John,

465
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that Bill's Philly pick. Did I talk to

466
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: you out of picking Philly when we met on the radio?

467
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: I bet now I'd already picked the the helpia in

468
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: the chronicle. Okay, I really thought Buffalo was gonna win

469
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: that game. Sorry, hey, John, yesterday's foe, the Oakland Raiders.

470
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: I know people look at hey, that's a three and

471
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: four football team and the whole bill parcels thing of year,

472
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: which your record says you are. But that's a really

473
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: good football team. John, what did you think of what

474
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: Gruden has done in his two years in Oakland before

475
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: they moved to Las Vegas. We had to consider too,

476
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: they're playing on the road. That's unbelievable the stretch. They

477
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: hadn't been home since the second week of the season.

478
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Playing a home game in Oakland while you're playing these

479
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: other I mean a home game in London while you're

480
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: playing these other games, is the illegal? Should be illegal.

481
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: But if they if they can come through it, say

482
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: the first half of their season five hundred, then they've

483
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: got a favorable schedule over in the second half. But

484
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: they've got a good running game, they've got a good

485
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. They stopped to run well. Even though the

486
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: Texans excuse me, ran four hundred and thirty yards, they've

487
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: only been given up eighty six. So they've got a

488
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: lot of young players that that team is being built

489
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: for Las Vegas, all right. So John DeAndre Hopkins is

490
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: second in the league right now in receptions with sixty

491
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: behind Michael Thomas of New Orleans. And what do you

492
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: think of his performance yesterday? The last few weeks, I

493
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: mean Kansas City, not that many yards, but every single

494
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: catch just seemed to be huge, even though it was

495
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: for short yards. It's relatively last week plays well. Yesterday

496
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. What do you think one of the

497
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: things that you're doing is like third and five, they're

498
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: throwing him the ball a lot, you know. They sometimes

499
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: they use the short pass to hop like a run

500
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: and that keeps the defense on its heels instead of

501
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: its toes. So people may look at his yards per ketch,

502
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: but if they look at first downs, I'm gizzing we

503
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: won't know this to l after tonight's game. I'm gissing

504
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: that he's number one in first downs again, whether it's

505
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: on him third down, but he seems to be the

506
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: target for once and anytime they need a first down

507
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: for a short pass, he's going to him. And he's

508
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: done a tremendous job as always. Yeah, he's I mean Hopkins.

509
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: Yesterday we talked about this a little bit, John, about

510
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: the fact that he made yards after the catch yesterday,

511
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: just running through guys always fighting forward to hang on

512
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: the football because it was almost close on that final drive.

513
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: But Hopkins just incredible yesterday, John, I'm those lines. DeAndre

514
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: Hopkins third fastest or I'm sorry, third youngest to get

515
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: to eight thousand yards. The only two that got there

516
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: before he did Larry Fitzgerald and ran Andy Moss, And

517
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: even DeAndre said he choked a little bit. He had

518
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: to give thanks to the brock Oswaders and Brandon Weedon's

519
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: for helping him get there. I don't know that we

520
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: really can put it into full terms what he's doing,

521
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: but it feels like, and you know this better than

522
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: anybody else studying Hall of Fame receivers, it feels like

523
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: we are on track to watching a guy that could

524
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: potentially be going to the Hall of Fame. What have

525
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: you thought about what DeAndre has done only this year,

526
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: but throughout his career to get to this point and

527
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: set that milestone. Well, the most amazing thing was about

528
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: was what he did with so many quarterbacks and not

529
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: so many mediocre the bad quarterbacks. Now he's got a

530
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: big time quarterback. And even though they brought in a

531
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: lot more weapons like Darren Fails and Kenny, Stills and

532
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: Day and Johnson that he continues to excel and I

533
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's out of the question at this point

534
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: of his career. And he's got a long way to go.

535
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of receivers taking advantage of this

536
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: era who you think have a chance to be in

537
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. And the good thing about the Andrews,

538
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: he's so dependable. He reminds me when when Watson throws

539
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: him a ball low and it's where only he can

540
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: catch it, it reminds me of Warren Moon used to

541
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: throw the Drew Hill and a run and shoot. He

542
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: said that when they needed a first damp, he would

543
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: throw a short pass to Drew and he would throw

544
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: it low where only Drew could get it, and if

545
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: he didn't, nobody was And that's the same thing it

546
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: looks like with Watson throwing to Hopkins. John do they

547
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: clinch tomorrow night? What do you think? Based on as

548
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: hot as the Astros are right now? Even though I

549
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: noticed I watched all the postgame shows, all of them

550
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: are picking Strasburg to be Berlander who's never won a

551
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: World Series game. I think whether berland Er wins it

552
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: or not. The Astros are going to close it out.

553
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: They just outscored them seventeen to three in three games

554
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: in Washington and they're coming home and they were they

555
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: didn't clinch the last one here, but they're going to

556
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: clinch this one here and it's gonna be great for

557
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: the fans of Houston. I do love how confident John is,

558
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: but he has been around this place, and by this place,

559
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean the city. He has seen it all in

560
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: this city sports wise. You never count your sports chickens

561
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: before they hatch championships. That should be the first tenant

00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: the two minute warning of Broncos, Colts, Mark Vandemir and

604
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: andre Ware made a bet and when I found out

605
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: about it, I was furious with Mark Vandermir. I'll let

606
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: him explain why. As we talked to our buddy andre Ware, Torey,

607
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 1: you and I made the friendly wagers. Yea yeah. Can

608
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: we get into this place like trading places, it's like

609
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: the usual amount roundolph one dollar for because the Colts

610
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: and Denver were hooking up. It was a one point game.

611
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: Denver at one point lead, Denver with a third and four,

612
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: can't get it. They got a deep. Actually we made

613
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: the wager before that. Once they converted a second and

614
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: two and got the ball back for a fresh set

615
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: of days. I said, Denver's got this now, but you

616
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: were really confident the culture going to pull it out

617
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: and you I owe you a dollar because I only

618
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: had a twenty. Sorry. Yeah, I just felt like there's

619
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: a little bit too much time on the clock. And

620
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: if Denver didn't score, which I didn't think they did

621
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 1: because they weren't really pressing the issue to try to score.

622
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: They were more unprotective mode that they would give the

623
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: ball back or somehow the coach would get another possession

624
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: and Jacoby Brissette would put a drive together to at

625
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: least give Adam Vinetarry another shot at a field goal.

626
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: He'd missed two earlier in the game. I didn't feel

627
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: like he was gonna miss the next one, and it

628
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: was true. It was right down the middle from about

629
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: fifty one yards or so. I mean, that's the twenty

630
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: ninth buzzer beater in his career. By the way, after

631
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: a rough start, he had missed one extra point when

632
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 1: they scored to make it thirteen twelves, like a little

633
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: thirteen thirteen. The game is tied, and so I turned

634
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: away from the game. I turned back as why is

635
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: it still thirteen twelve? Oh? Vinitary miss an extra point? Like,

636
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: oh man, could that be it? Well, that's the way

637
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: it goes. Andre to Mark's question about Deshaun Watson and

638
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: what we're watching it almost trying to find an adjective

639
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: for what he's doing. It's almost not fair because it

640
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: feels like it doesn't do it justice. But what he's

641
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: doing is almost unfair to other teams in some sense.

642
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: What have you seen with him in particular sense to

643
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: Carolina game where it feels like he has made one

644
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: key play after another. Well, we were warned, I mean,

645
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Dabbo Sweeney warned us that this was who he was

646
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and he was only going to get better, a better

647
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: version of himself. As he got further some minute into

648
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: what the Texas were doing. Offensively, you know, you can't

649
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: describe it. You just sit back and relish in it

650
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: and enjoy it, because I think you got to credit

651
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: the coaching staff as well. To a degree when they

652
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: are giving him things that he's comfortable with. I think

653
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: when you try to put just make him a pocket passer.

654
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: And I thought that was the case earlier in the season.

655
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: He wasn't himself. It didn't allow him, you know, really

656
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: take advantage of his athletic ability and put pressure on

657
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: the defense. They made the necessary adjustments. There's some RPOs

658
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: in there. They're booting him out. He's rolling, and that

659
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: I think is where he feels most comfortable. That when

660
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: you go to the other stuff, the pocket stuff, he's

661
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: playing with a tremendous amount of confidence. So there's really

662
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: no adjectant to really describe what he's doing. It's just

663
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: the fact that he is a special player. And again

664
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: Dabbo warned us that this is what he is. He

665
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: put us on alert that this is what we were

666
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: getting U And it's true. Yeah, And it's hard to

667
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: really categorize where he is. I mean, look, you go

668
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: back to guys like fran Tarkington and Doug Flutie in college,

669
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: and then you go to Randall Cunningham and you know

670
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: Michael Vick a little bit, I mean a little bit

671
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: of everything, but that doesn't really paint the picture of

672
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: how good a passer he really is. Yeah, he's accurate,

673
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: and I think the difference a big difference as well,

674
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: and where he was maybe a year ago or at

675
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, is that he's taking kind

676
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: of what's there. He's not forcing the ball in the coverage.

677
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: He's seeing coverage, he's seeing the entire field, and he's

678
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: taking the checkdowns and those are you know, five seven

679
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: yard checkdowns keeping you in second, third, and medium, and

680
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: then he's converting and it's it's a tremendous amount of

681
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: pressure on a defense when he's on the move, and

682
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: yesterday he did it to perfection. Each and every time

683
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: he was outside the pocket. It seemed like he was

684
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: making a place to keep drives a lot. Drey, it

685
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: felt like yesterday and I mentioned the word grit, and

686
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: it kind of felt like that. But the atmosphere wise,

687
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: it felt like a little bit more than just a

688
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: regular season gaming with the Raiders fans in there, and

689
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: it just had a little bit different feel to it.

690
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: But with the starters that they had lost, with Jay

691
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: out of the game, Lonie out for the game, the

692
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: secondary basically down to three guys, the offense losing Laramie

693
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: at some point got Chris Clark to left tackle Dan

694
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: Skipper in the game. I mean, obviously it's not the

695
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: way you drawed up, but yet the Texans found a

696
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: way to get a win. What do you think it

697
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: says for this team, this coaching staff, to find a

698
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: way to get a win in a situation like that.

699
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: I think we use that word in a pre in

700
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: the post game was just grit and resiliency. And you know,

701
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: they were just resilient yesterday and in terms of, hey,

702
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: we're right in the game. And that's why when you're

703
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 1: down at at at halftime, there's no need to press

704
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: the panic. But you know, you just keep playing. It's

705
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: a sixty minute football game. They've done some things in

706
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: the first half. Why can't we u in the second

707
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: half of this one just duplicate what they've done. We're

708
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: right here, We'll win the football game. And and it's

709
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: why you play sixty minutes. It was I thought a

710
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: group that when you were down there getting very little

711
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: passed us, they were able to cover up on the

712
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: back end just enough to where plays weren't made and

713
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders were forced to punt the football. So on

714
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: and so forth. But yeah, they hung right in there

715
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: and found a way when it was there to take

716
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: a game and then finish it. I think the most

717
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: impressive thing to me was going on about a four

718
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: minute drive, four and a half minute drive to kill

719
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: the clock. That's what you work on, I tell you

720
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: guys all the time. That's what Dinny Green used to

721
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: do to start practice, was to open with a four

722
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: minute drive because it teaches the mentality that hey, we're

723
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: going to finish, We're gonna win the game. We just

724
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: got to go finish it. And they were able to

725
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: do exactly that yesterday. Yeah, two out of the last three,

726
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: each of the last two wins able to just kill

727
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: the clock. And Darren Fells a big part of that.

728
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Darren Fells Adrea. He's thirty three years old, but he's

729
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: in year six because he played all that pro basketball

730
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: overseason in Mexico, and you look at the kind of

731
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: season he's having. Twenty three catches is an all time

732
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: high for him. He had never had more than twenty

733
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: one in a single season. And he's been with Arizona Detroit,

734
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: So those are some pretty good Arizona teams. Fourteen fifteen

735
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: sixteen Detroit he was with Matthew Stafford, he was with

736
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: Cleveland last year, so whatever, But here he is with

737
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: five touchdown catches career high, twenty three catches career high.

738
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: What do you make of what you're seeing out of

739
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: Darren Fells? Yeah, and we're you know, about the halfway points,

740
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: so maybe double those numbers are somewhere in that range.

741
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: But you can see, you can see the confidence growing.

742
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: As you know, you make the transition from from basketball

743
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: to football. It takes a little while, especially on the

744
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: NFL level, and then you get in a place where

745
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: there's a quarterback. All I gotta do is just kind

746
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: of show my numbers to him. He's accurate, he's gonna

747
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: get me the football, and that's what's happening. He's firmly

748
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: entrance and what they're doing offensively, so that allows him

749
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: to play with a degree of confidence. And then the

750
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: more you play, the more you're seeing things, the more

751
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: you can adjust and continue to play that way. And

752
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: it's it's it's fun for him, it's fun to see

753
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: and it's I'm sure fun for the entire team. Dre

754
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: jj watt out for the year Torn Peck. He tweeted

755
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: that he's absolutely gutted that he won't be able to

756
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: be there the rest of the year. Mark and I

757
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: have talked about this a little bit, but how do

758
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: you expect or what do you expect? And obviously it's

759
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: just kind of educated guests really as to what Rack's

760
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: gonna do without JJ, But how do you expect they

761
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: go about filling that role that JJ play, maybe not

762
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: being JJ Watt, but finding production to somewhat simulate what

763
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: he gives them. That's a good question and a tough

764
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: one too, Johnny, because you know, not only do you

765
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: lose everybody thinks of the pass for us, but you

766
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: lose a run stopper as well, and a guy that

767
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: can can set the edge of a defense. Now teams

768
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: will try to try to get outside and if you're

769
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: flying outside and you can cut underneath with with the

770
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: outside zone and in the running game, things of that sort.

771
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: So he brings got a tremendous amount to what the

772
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: defense does. Yesterday they were able to kind of pin

773
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: it together and get through a game. But certainly we'll

774
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: feel it as the season progresses, as they play better teams.

775
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: Uh down the road, I would imagine, you know, Scarlett

776
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: and any of you all those guys will get significant

777
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: minutes is in different packages. I don't see for see

778
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: blitzing to try to get pass r us because you're

779
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: so especially at this point in the See season, because

780
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 1: you're so young in the secondary, that those guys are

781
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: still kind of trying to find their way in terms

782
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: of learning the defense and being in the right positions,

783
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: and it's hard to do that when you're when you're

784
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: blitzing and putting them back there to be exposed to

785
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: some deep stuff. So I don't see it that way.

786
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: Maybe you just force teams to try to drive the

787
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: length of the field and in there they're gonna make

788
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: a mistake. It's hard to do it, but you have

789
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: to capitalize when when plays are there. Andrea, it's the

790
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: only division in football the ANC South with all four

791
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: teams five hundred or better. And Tannehill's quarterback in Tennessee

792
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: got in Jacksonville, and Brissette is doing a real nice

793
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: job with the cults. Your thoughts on that. It was

794
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: always scary when you imagine Tennessee with a quarterback that

795
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: is is consistent, and I think they finally they have

796
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 1: that in Ryan Tanneo and the same thing with Jacksonville

797
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew. And so when you take and subtract

798
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: a guy like Andrew Luck, you think, oh boy, the

799
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: quarterback production and in the the AFC South is going

800
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: to go way down. Well, actually it hasn't, and Jacobe

801
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: Brissette is continuing to win games in Indianapolis. To throw

802
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: his name right into that hat. It's tough division, it's

803
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: anybody's division. That's why I thought yesterday during that ballgame

804
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: that it was almost the situation where it was a

805
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: must win because you don't want to fall two games

806
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: back of the Colts, and then you're traveling way overseas

807
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: in an environment that you're not familiar with, and then

808
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: when you get back home the Colts, you get a

809
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: Biden and the cults are waiting on you. So it

810
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: felt like about his much of a must win situation

811
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: as it possibly could. Fortunately for the Texas, they were

812
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: able to do that. Andrea, what do you recommend for

813
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: jet lag as we go to London. Well, you kind

814
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: of gotta get on that clock as soon as you can.

815
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: So if it's if it's when we take off, if

816
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: it's night in London, fall asleep would be my recommendation.

817
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: As quickly as you can and try to sleep the

818
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: entire flight over, and then when you wake up, you

819
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: just you're right on that time. I'm not worried about

820
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: what happens when we get there. It's when we get

821
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: back and adjusting once we get back home. That's usually

822
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: the tougher adjustment. It's easy for you to say you

823
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: can sleep on planes. I've seen you, and i've seen

824
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: you up close with personal. Blow the door and it's

825
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: over for me. Yeah, it's over. Oh man, I'm gonna

826
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: try and sleep, but I gotta feeling it's just not

827
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I'm gonna try, man, I'm gonna try. I

828
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: might need something to knock me out. I gotta check

829
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: the house. Maybe there's something there, all right. Appreciate you

830
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: guys listening. Had a lot of fun. Big thanks to
