48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: back to the matter at hand, and that is a

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: trip to Buffalo, oh Man, second time in six years.

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the maximum you can go. So last

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: year it was Cleveland. We went to Cleveland, twenty fourteen,

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: went back in twenty twenty. It was six years. That's

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: the most you can have in between stints of going

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: to AFC stadiums. Stay with Pittsburgh we went twenty fourteen,

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: didn't go again until twenty twenty. Well, Buffalo, even though

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: we've seen them twenty eighteen, that's what I'm getting. Twenty nineteen.

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Those games we're both at home. One a regular season game,

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: won a playoff game. Now we're going back up there

59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: for our AFC East flip floppy thing. What we do

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: every three years, and so that's why we're going up there.

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: This should have Buffalo. So looking forward to getting up there.

62
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: Go see my guy salth Capaccio. Love the radio crew there.

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: John Murphy does a way, love a job, Eric Wood

64
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: does stuff for them. You have Eric Steve Tasker, who

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: a lot of people know, and then my buddy South

66
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: down on the sideline. So love going up there to

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: see the radio crew. Will not love going to see

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: the team that we're gonna see on the other sideline.

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: That's for sure. Holy smokes, that's a talented squad. But

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stop us from putting together a good

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Friday all access show. So we got a lot for you.

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: We're here from David Coulor here in just a second,

73
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: We're here from Davis Mills, not once, but twice. We're

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Roy Lopez on the show. I get

75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: to give you my keys the game. We gotta do

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: my prediction straight up and against the spread. I pick

77
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: each of every NFL game. I know my record is

78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: probably about ninety eight point six percent, so you can

79
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: just believe me on that. And then, like I said,

80
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna from David Smills twice. You'll hear from David

81
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: Smills also to close down the show, so David Smills

82
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: to start, David Smills to end. But before we get

83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: to David s Mills, we got a little bit of

84
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: work to do because we kick off every Friday show

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: with the head coach of your Houston Texans, and that

86
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: is David Cully. Here's Coach Culley with Mark Vandom. You're

87
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: getting its ready for this one against Buffalo. Joining us

88
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: right now. It's Coach David Culley as we get ready

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: for the Texans at Buffalo, and Coach, tell me how

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: the week of preparation has been for this one, because

91
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: you've had an extra long week to get ready for

92
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: the Bills. It's been good. Basically, Mark, what we did

93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: is we took, you know, the weekend off for our guys.

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: We come back in on Monday. We got a little

95
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: head start on it because as coaches, we kind of

96
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: had that weekend to be able to get things ready

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: for him when it came in a little bit more

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: so than we normally would in a normal week. So

99
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: when they came back in there on Monday, that extra

100
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: day really helped us in presenting to them what we

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: wanted to get done against Buffalo this week, especially coming

102
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: off that the Thursday night game, and it's been really

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: really good for us. I feel like our football team

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: right now is well prepared to go play this one.

105
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: What happened last week is behind us right now. We're

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. That's all that matters, and we

107
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: are ready to go. So how difficult is it to

108
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: impersonate Josh Allen in practice to simulate what he does

109
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: for the look team, Well, it's it's tough to do that,

110
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: but I tell you what, Jeff Drisco has done a

111
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: great job this week. As a matter of fact, Jeff,

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: Jeff is kind of like the He's got good size too.

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: He kind of looks at in that way. He's got

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: a good strong arm, and Jeff is very athletic, just

115
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: like Josh is. So he's done a really good job

116
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: of giving us a good look this week. As a

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: matter of fact, there's a couple of times in practice

118
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: he was too good at giving us that though, so

119
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: but he's done an excellent job of that for us.

120
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: All right, And they're off fans obviously we talk about

121
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, but they run the ball pretty well too, Coach,

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: they do you know, there's been games where you know

123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: they've run the ball very well. There's been games where

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: because they play four and five wides a bunch where

125
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: they see they throw that ball. But when you got

126
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: a guy like Josh back there that when the ball's

127
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: in his hands and with the skill that they've got

128
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: playing there, they're very versatile and what they do and

129
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: basically they can be as balanced as you need to

130
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: be to be able to attack you in all kinds

131
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: of ways. But I've just having been there and having

132
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: worked with Brian before, I just know they love throwing

133
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: that football because they've got good people to do that.

134
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: But I also understand too that when there's a time

135
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: that you got to have some balance and running the

136
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: ball is doing that. And now I'm sure that they'll

137
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: they'll do what they feel like they need to do

138
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: to attack us. So Davis Mills second start, how helpful

139
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: is it that he lived through what he got through

140
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: in Cleveland in that tough environment in the second half.

141
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Now that he's in Buffalo playing this one, well, it's

142
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: going to be the similar environment to Mark in Cleveland.

143
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: I mean, it was so loud up there when we

144
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: played them, and when he came in. He didn't bat

145
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: an eye. I mean, he didn't bat an eye. You know,

146
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: he came in. If I go, I go back to

147
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: the Cleveland game, I think the second pass, the first

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: and second pass he through was an interception when he

149
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: came back in that environment and took us down and scored.

150
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: And I knew then right now that that that the

151
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't too big for him, that wherever you were

152
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: playing home or away, he was going to be fine.

153
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: And I think he will be really really ready to

154
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: go up there. It will be loud. We've done some

155
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: silent count this week. We've we've done the things that

156
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: we need to do to get him ready to go there,

157
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: and we felt like he's ready to go and iron

158
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: football teams ready to go with him. What about this

159
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Bill's defense coach, because it seems like all three layers

160
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of great players they do. It's a

161
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: it's a defensive football team. Mark that's played together, especially

162
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Three of the three of the four

163
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: starters back there have played together for four years now,

164
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: three or four years now. Uh. They're linebackers which we

165
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: were rookies when I when I came in there are

166
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: now playing very well, uh, and then they they brought

167
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: in some upfront people. There. It's a quality, solid defense

168
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: on the front end, the back end, and in the

169
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: middle end. It's it'll be a good task for us

170
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: this week. All right, special teams matchup. You get Kim back,

171
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: that's nice. What about the elements of the kicking game. Well, again,

172
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: we want to be able to which we haven't done

173
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: that yet this year, and we feel like this is

174
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: a good opportunity is we want to use our special

175
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: teams to score. Our special teams has done a really

176
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: good job for us of changing field position. We've we've

177
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: had a couple of little blunders in handling the ball.

178
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: We feel like we've got that taken care of right now.

179
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: And if we can take care of the ball, we

180
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: feel like that we can use our special teams to

181
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: actually score points. Coach, thanks so much for joining us

182
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: special luck against the Bells. Thank you very much. Mark.

183
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the second thing that we

184
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: always do on a Friday show. And this one might

185
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: take a little while because we got some stuff to

186
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: sift through with the injury report and not only that

187
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: transaction that came down. Oh, I don't know about three

188
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: o'clock three thirty this afternoon, because when I looked at

189
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: the injury report, I was like, wait a second, something

190
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: isn't quite right here, and I was like, wait, I'm

191
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: not seeing a name that I was pretty sure we

192
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: was gonna show up at the injury report, but he

193
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: didn't because he, along with somebody else, ended up on

194
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen reserve list. And we're gonna get to

195
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: that in just a second. But the Friday injury report

196
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: turns into a status report, and it's got some good

197
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: news and well not some good news because of that

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: one other report that came out, and we'll get to

199
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: that in just a second. But the injury status report,

200
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: as it pertains to this one. Two players for your

201
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: Texans who did not participate all week long, I believe, yeah,

202
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: all week long Daymondola has been dealing with that leg injury,

203
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: so he is out, as is Scottie Phillips. Scotty's been

204
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: sick all week and so he is out as well.

205
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: Limited participants in practice. Terrence Mitchell coming back from illness

206
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: but also dealing with that concussion he suffered against the

207
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Browns now not quite two weeks ago, but just about

208
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: so he's questionable, which I want to believe is good news,

209
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: but you know how those things kind of are. I

210
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: want to believe it's good news that he's gonna be

211
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: able to play, but he's questionable. Also questionable is Garrett Wallow,

212
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: who was a limited participant in practice today. He's also

213
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: dealing with the illness. So that's the kind of news.

214
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: The good news is that three key players that we

215
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: have been really keeping an eye on, two that didn't

216
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: play last Thursday. One that did, but it was also

217
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: on the injury report this week. Justin Brittkamu, Grugier Hill

218
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: and Justin Reid full participants in practice today years and

219
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: they will play. They're in so out Danny Amadola, Scottie Phillips, questionable,

220
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell, Garrett Wallow, but full participants, Justin Britt Comu,

221
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: Grugier Hill, Justin read now before we get to the bills,

222
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: that other transaction I was talking about. This came down,

223
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: like I said, probably about three thirty because I had

224
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: got a little bit of a heads up that maybe

225
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: one of the guys that was going to end up

226
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: on this on this injury report I didn't see and

227
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, well, maybe I don't know, maybe we

228
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: maybe we dodged a bullet here, but we didn't. And

229
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: not only did we not dodge a bullet, we got

230
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: it kind of going the other direction as well, because

231
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: there's an additional individual in the transaction wire, and that

232
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: would be Zach Cunningham and Ross Blacklock, both placed on

233
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen list. Now I'm not getting into

234
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: who's vaccinated, who isn't what I don't know. All I

235
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: know is there on the list. And the reason I

236
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: don't bring up the whole vaccination thing is I don't

237
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: know what the return could be for these guys if

238
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: they're not vaccinated. It's gonna be ten days if they

239
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: are and they're showing symptoms or not showing symptoms, and

240
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: they can get back in a short amount of the

241
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: shorter amount of time by testing positive I think two

242
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: or three consecutive days. I think it's two days either way.

243
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: The point being a by going on the reserve COVID

244
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: nineteen list today, it pretty much ensures out on Sunday

245
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: being out, and those are massive losses against the Buffalo Bills,

246
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: massive losses. Ross is playing about as well. Now, I

247
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: shouldn't say that he was playing well beyond any point

248
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: of his twenty twenty season as a rookie. He was

249
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: playing extremely well, and he played very well again Carolina

250
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: Panthers had the first sack of his career and Zach Cuttingham.

251
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: We all know what Zach means to this defense and

252
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: what he has meant since his rookie year in twenty seventeen,

253
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: when he stepped in Week two start next to Roger

254
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: McKinney when Brian Cushing was suspended prodorc to the Sin

255
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: Santi Bengals game. So let's go back and do this

256
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: again out for the Texans. Scottie Phillips, Danny Amendola, Zach Cuttingham,

257
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock. As those last two go on the COVID

258
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: nineteen list, gut punched. Now let's flip it over to

259
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: the bill side, because there is Look, I never want

260
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: to say that I'm excited to see anybody out or

261
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: hurt or anything like that, but we're just talking about

262
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: a football kind of chess match, so to speak. The

263
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know chess, but my guest says

264
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: that a rook is pretty important. That's kind of what

265
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer is Jordan Poyer has been dealing with the ankle,

266
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: one of the safety duos, one half of the safety

267
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: duo that I absolutely love. Jordan Poyer will not play

268
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: in this game. He is out dealing with that ankle.

269
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: John Feliciano is starting guard for the Bills. He's been

270
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: dealing with concussion. Now. I don't believe either of them practiced. Actually,

271
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Feliciano is an interesting one because he was sick Wednesday,

272
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: limited participant, then he showed up with a concussion on Thursday,

273
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: and now he's out with that concussion, so apparently he

274
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: got that in practice. So Felicianos starting guard out, Poyer

275
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: starting safety out to Ron Johnson starting nicole, depending on

276
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: you look at it and what they're gonna be in.

277
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: But he's important piece of that secondary. He is the nickel.

278
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: He had one hundred and one yard interception returning against

279
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson last year that playoff game that gave Buffalo

280
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: to winning that one. He is questionable Toronto. I don't

281
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: believe has practiced at all. He practiced a little bit

282
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and then on Thursday and Friday, so he's

283
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: not moving in the right direction and he's questionable. So

284
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: Poyer out, Feliciano out, Toronto Johnson questionable. Also questionable is

285
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: defensive end e Fio Bata deal with an ankle injury. However,

286
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: the other half of the safety duo is Micah Hyde

287
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: dealing with that quad injury. Now, he's not practiced a

288
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: lot this week. I take it back. He practiced yesterday Thursday,

289
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: and he practiced today full. So Micah Hyde, number twenty three,

290
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: will be ready to go, but number twenty one, Jordan

291
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: Poyer will not be ready to go. So Feliciano two starter,

292
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Geordano starter Toronto. Johnson call him a starter because he's

293
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: the starting Nickel. So three starters on the bill side,

294
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: one starter for the Texans and one other key defensive component. Obviously,

295
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: Scottie Phillips would like to see do more in the

296
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: running game, but he's been sick all week, so he's out,

297
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: And of course we're gonna miss Amy and Doola, but

298
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Miller steps into that role does pretty well.

299
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: So both teams suffering a few injuries, I don't think

300
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: it cripples either team, especially at Texans with guys that

301
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: are coming back and come with Gruge Hill and Justin

302
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: Reid and making sure that Justine Bridge ready to go.

303
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: But Jordan Poyer being out of that defense is a

304
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: big one. It's a big one, and we'll see how

305
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: the Bills react to that because they face a rookie,

306
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: and that rookie is Davis Mills, and he sat down

307
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: with our own Drew Doherty before this one. Look who

308
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: it is. It's the QB, Davis Mills in for Drew's dozen. Davis,

309
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: what's the best Halloween costume you ever wore? Oh, that's

310
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: a good one. Either a cowboy when I was really young,

311
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: or I wore a batman costume freshman year of high

312
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: school that was fit for a fifth grader. I just

313
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: tried to pull it off. So were you just rippling

314
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: in this thing? I think there was like a chess

315
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: piece that came down and it was like a crop top.

316
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was the coolest thing at the time.

317
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: That's great. Do you still do Halloween these days? We

318
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: had some stuff at Stanford that we do, but most

319
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: of the time you're a plan yeah, or preparing the

320
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: night before, so you couldn't do much until after. Yeah,

321
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: big bummer. You miss out on those things as an athlete.

322
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: But there's other there's other advantages to that life, right,

323
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: all right, what's your favorite holiday? Probably say Christmas or

324
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: Fourth of July. There are pros to both, but I

325
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: think Christmas was always really good family time, and then

326
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Fourth of July I can always think of just spending

327
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: it at the lake back home, just out on the water,

328
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: hanging out with a bunch of friends and enjoying the holiday.

329
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: Jet Skier. You a wake boarder. How do you do?

330
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: What do you? I mean? Nothing since being drafted? Yeah,

331
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: I was got into wake surfing pretty recently and I

332
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: like to sam decent at it, but that's really fun.

333
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: You're pretty modest, so you're probably awesome matic because you

334
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: if you can get up and do it like that's

335
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: that's It's not easy to get up and ride without

336
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: the rope. But I'm not doing any of the tricks

337
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: that a lot of the good good riders are doing. Yeah,

338
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: Pharaoh Brown, you're one of your tight ends. He's pretty

339
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: good at wake surfing as well. He was doing it

340
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: this summer and we see this on his Instagram got

341
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: tackled by one of his friends. One of his friends

342
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: jumped off the boat tackled him. I thought that was

343
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: almost held my breath, but were something bad was going

344
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: to happen there? Yeah, i'm too. If you were not

345
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: a football player, what would you be doing? Would your

346
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: career be playing basketball or baseball? Yeah? Those were my

347
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: three big sports growing up, and I chose football and

348
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: it worked out for me. But i'd say that or

349
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: if it wasn't in the sport realm entirely. I had

350
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: an internship in commercial real estate at Stanford that I

351
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: really enjoyed. I thought it was cool. Yeah, I mean

352
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: it's a phenomenal school, phenomenal business program. Let's see with

353
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: the baseball in the basketball, who's your favorite all time

354
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: basketball player? I would say Magic Johnson because I grew

355
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: up a Michigan State fan because that's where my dad

356
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: went to undergrad. So I always grew up a Magic fan.

357
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: So you're a young guy, and most most guys you're age,

358
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: you know they're going Lebron or you're going way back.

359
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: I like that Magic John's he was something special. People

360
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: forget about. No, I don't forget about him, but I

361
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: think they kind of underrate him these days because of

362
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: all the time that's passed. How about baseball, You got

363
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: a favorite baseball player were Braves fan growing up up,

364
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: probably Chipper Andrew Jones. Andrew Jones. It's Jordan Nakins, another

365
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: one of your titan that's his favorite player growing up

366
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: in Yeah, he played professionally. Jordan did obviously for four

367
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: years in the Rangers organization. But yeah, we've talked about

368
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: that a lot with him. The most overrated food in

369
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: the world is I don't know, I don't know, I

370
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: don't know overrated. I'm a good fan of a lot

371
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: of different foods, so anything you don't like. I've never

372
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: been a fan of mushrooms, although they've come on to

373
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: me a little recently. Yeah, because the food and the

374
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: cops really good here. I've been trying those. But I've

375
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: always despised green like peas. Green peas, Okay, fair enough.

376
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: When I was younger, so well, it was Betty. What happened, dude,

377
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: Just my mom made him one time for dinner and

378
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: I was refusing to eat him, and then I finally

379
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: ate him and didn't go well, didn't go well, Okay, Yeah,

380
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: we'll leave it as a family show. What's your favorite

381
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: exercise in the weight room and what's your least favorite

382
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: exercise in the weight room. I think favorite would be

383
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: some sort of squats. Yeah. I like working out the

384
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: legs and had some injury stuff in the past that

385
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: like to work through and always try to stay up

386
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: to date with being as strong as possible as I

387
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: can on the lower body. I don't know the least favorite. No,

388
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: maybe some sort of cardio. It's interesting I've asked this

389
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: of I think three of your teammates. Now you've all

390
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: said squats, every single Oneeed, Danny A Mendola, Tyrod Tail,

391
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: You've all said squats. So that's fascinating that y'all go there. Okay,

392
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: I did not come up with this question. It came

393
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: to me from our social media team and shout out

394
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Amanda Caffey. She wants to know on Instagram, how come

395
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: all your posts are in black and white. I don't know.

396
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: I think I chose to do it starting probably freshman

397
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: or sophomore year high school. I'm just stuck with it.

398
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty cool at the time, and

399
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: now I'm kinda end too deep. I just gotta keep

400
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: rolling with what's the last meal that you cooked? A

401
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: filet with sweet potatoes and asparagus? How'd you cook it?

402
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: I actually suvie at the steak and then took it

403
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: out and seared both sides, and then the sweet potatoes

404
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: chopped up pretty thin. My girlfriend actually helped okay sides,

405
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: but it was a dual effort. That's fancy, dude. I

406
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: was just wondering, like, is this medium is a medium raring?

407
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: You're going into all this stuff, su I don't even

408
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: know what suve means, like you, It's like water cooking.

409
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: You put the steak in a airtight, air sealed bag

410
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: and I'll set it in water, and the suvie will

411
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: actually heat up the water to a specific temperature. And

412
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: I set it too, I think one thirty one, which

413
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: is right medium, rare, clean, medium rare and medium. And

414
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: you let it cook in there for like an hour

415
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: and a half. Let it sit, it'll cook completely through,

416
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: and then you take it out in sear sides for

417
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: the crust. I learned stuff. Maybe you, maybe you guys

418
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: watching and listening, maybe you already knew that. I didn't

419
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: know that. I'm learning stuff all the time. All right,

420
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: what's the greatest invention ever? Sliced bread? Slice bread? We'll

421
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: go with that. Yeah, we'll go with that. That'll work Okay,

422
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: what celebrity do you think you resemble most I don't know.

423
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: I got a lot of comparisons growing up to Napoleon

424
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Dynamite John. I think it's nice. That's great. Do you

425
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: ever do it? Did you ever do any impersonations of

426
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: him or anything? Or usn't even mean it is one

427
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies, growing a great movie, and I

428
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: might have impersonated him a couple of times, but nice.

429
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: Nothing I can't think of right now. This guy can

430
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: throw a football over the mountains and he's gonna throw

431
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,520

463
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: former teacher and good friend of somebody who I think

464
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: would be a whale of a teacher, but she's an

465
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: even better interviewer, writer, and analysts. And that's my good

466
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: friend Deep City. We over the years have always wanted

467
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: to get rookies on with us, but previous regime was

468
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm not all excited about having rookies come on the

469
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,680

472
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty, and you're here a little bit more from Davis,

473
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: a little bit more football oriented in the final segment.

474
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: But right now you're to hear from Roy Lopez who

475

00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: He's a rookie. Roy. You started your first NFL game

480
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Primetime on Thursday night, What was it like running out

481
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: of that tunnel in front of the fans at Energy Stadium, right,

482
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: It was amazing, you know, just kind of took a

483
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: deep breath and uh it was from the jump, you know,

484
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: when they sang the national anthem and kind of stand

485
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: there and you reflect, you know, on on your journey.

486
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: It's like, man, this is crazy, it's actually happening, you know.

487
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, you worked to

488
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: be in the position you're in, you know, so I

489
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: was very blessed and very very humbled to to start.

490
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, the group of

491
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: guys that I go to practice every day with they

492
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: make it easy, you know, and you know they'll they'll

493
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: get me tips and everything, and you know, they make

494
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: sure that I feel comfortable out there with them, and

495
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: we play off of each other and try to you know,

496
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: and and win that way. You know. So you know,

497
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: individual success is group success. You know, group success is

498
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: individual success. So that's the big thing we preach between

499
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: the four of us. So you gotta keep it going. Yeah,

500
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of opportunities. I know, it's a

501
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: really talented defensive line group. A lot of guys in

502
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: that room. But you know, you step up. You've been

503
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: playing more, you've been you obviously got your first start.

504
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: Levey Smith says he's been really impressed with what you've

505
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: been able to do so far. But for you, what

506
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: do you think has been the toughest part about adjusting

507
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: to playing in the NFL? Right? I mean the toughest

508
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: part is just, you know, it's a it's a job now,

509
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, so you don't have school. You know, I'll

510
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: study y'all and all that, you know college, but you

511
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: know so, but also at the same time, that's the

512
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: best part, you know, you just you just have to

513
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: talk to football all day. You know, you watch field,

514
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: you go to meetings, and you know, you just get better,

515
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, And that's the biggest thing, is uh right now,

516
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, you know, being a rookie,

517
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: that's all you gotta do is just get better week

518
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: after week. And you know, numbers will come and and

519
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: everything like that. So you know, when I reflect on

520
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: my weeks and watch film, I just want to make

521
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: sure I get better individually and be able to help

522
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: my team in the D line as a whole, because

523
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: and then they you know, that's my job. You know,

524
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: to just help the team win. Yeah, you don't have

525
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: to study for like a math test or write a

526
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: paper or anything like that. You just got you just

527
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: go to your meetings and learn about football. Lovey said

528
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: that you're obviously you're really you're good against the run,

529
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: but he said that he was impressed with your pass rush.

530
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: And he said the thing that impressed him was that

531
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: you could pass rush. So he said, not a knock

532
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: against you, but it's not really something that you were

533
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: asked to do a lot of in college. So how

534
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: have you worked on that aspect of your game. I

535
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: know it's been early so far, right, but you know,

536
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of people don't really know like

537
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: my college road and stuff like that. But you know,

538
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: I started in Mexico State, and there I played three

539
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: technique and I even played some five technique. You know,

540
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: that's just d n you know, and just trying to

541
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: get what I want and do pass us. You know,

542
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: I always try to tell people I'm good at pass us,

543
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: I could pass us. You know, I'm not just a

544
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: run stop. So I've always up to my coaches, you know,

545
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: at the collegiate level, even here. You know, Bobby Kane,

546
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: we still joke about it to this day. And I

547
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: can pass for us now, I can do it. You know,

548
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: you want to see someone third down, you know, but

549
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: you know he just gives me a smile. It was like, um,

550
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: you know there's there's like you said this this uh,

551
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: this D Line Corps is very talented, you know, all

552
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,040

555
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, being you know, being the same room. And

556
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: uh it's fun to steal things from them and and

557
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: do it in practice and look at him and laugh

558
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: and smile like, yeah, I just did your moves like

00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: it's okay, but uh, you know I do it and

560
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: we joke about it. We laugh and and uh, yeah,

561
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm part of a great group of d lineman that

562
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of feeds off of each other. You're taking some

563
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: of their moves. But I haven't seen anyone attempt your

564
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: salsa move because you busted out that salsa dance in

565
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: the preseason. How good of a dancer are you? Oh?

566
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: That is there more? I feel like there's probably more

567
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: than just the few steps that we see out there

568
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: on the field. I could dance, but I can't dance.

569
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: Nothing is gonna laugh. But they see it's not like

570
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: an You're not gonna bust out an extended salt if

571
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: you ever like rant it back for a touchdown or

572
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: anything like that. We're not going to see something like that.

573
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, y'all are gonna see something totally different. I

574
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: don't know yet, work on it, but a touchdown that's

575
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: a different celebration. All right, you're really talented, because I've

Speaker 1: mex Here is great, you know, and you know, I've

609
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: only gone like two times because like I said, I

610
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: gotta watch what I eat when I'm out here, especially

611
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: during seas. But you know, I've gotten a couple of

612
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: places and it you know, blue expectations away from the jump.

613
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: So you know, I grew up in Arizona, so I

614
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: never really had some much text mix. But once I

615
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: came out here, I I experienced it. It It experienced it,

616
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: and I understood whatever it was. You see what the

617
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: hype is about. Okay. So one of the things that

618
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: we know about you, and I know we've talked about

619
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: it over and over again, is that you're a wrestler,

620
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: which is kind of a big deal because we've got

621
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: like four or five wrestlers on this team, which I

622
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: don't think I ever remember having so many seeing so

623
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: many guys that have had wrestling backgrounds. But I had

624
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: heard that you used to watch professional wrestling growing up.

625
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: So who was your favorite wrestler and why? Yeah, it

626
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: was The Rock and okay, yeah, I mean that's a favorite.

627
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: Though you know, I'm a fan favorite, so I always

628
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: watched him. I was right with Stereo. Okay, all the

629
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: big names you know, but it's definitely The Rock. I

630
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: had a little TV that had its own VHS system

631
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: at the bottom, and so I'm too young for a

632
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: VHS system. Oh but you know at the time, you know,

633
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: we didn't have you know, enough for a flat screen

634
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: in my room, you know, So we just had a

635
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: little box TV. It was about this high and at

636
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: the bottom it had a little VHS spot and I

637
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: just pop in. It was literally called The Rock, you know.

638
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: I just popped in a little The Rock video and

639
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: I'd watch it. I don't know how many times a day,

640
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: but I had a little action figure, you know Rock.

641
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: Oh man, my family is gonna laugh on this. Okay.

642
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: So so since you since you loved professional wrestling and

643
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: you were a wrestler, I feel like, have you ever

644
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: thought about what your professional wrestling name might be? No,

645
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: I have, you must have, I have it. But what

646
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: would your character be if you did professional wrestling? Oh? Man,

647
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. It'd be something something uh, something big though,

648
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: like you know, kind of like how The Big Show

649
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: and the Undertaker where you know, I'd like to I'd

650
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: like to take over the scene if I ever were

651
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: to get in that field. But yeah, definitely not. I probably, yeah,

652
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: I probably want to be like a tag team. I

653
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: probably do. You want to be your own act? Right? Maybe,

654
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: like I don't know, you do the salsa. You could

655
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: be like the salsa and start like, well, you gotta

656
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: have a backstory, you know, like you can be like

657
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: like a part time salsa instructor who's looking for revenge.

658
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what would check out? What will guy

659
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: would be like a salsa? Yeah, you like salsa out

660
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: to the to the ring, um which you gotta have

661
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: a finishing move? Rights would love it. I feel like

662
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: you gotta. I mean, you're like the rock is a

663
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: triple threat. You're like a triple do you got the

664
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: cooking you've got, You've got the dancing, you've got playing

665
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: football like you've got a lot, You've got a lot

666
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: to draw off of, right yeah. Um, My sister and

667
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: her husband, you know, my brother in law are actually

668
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: very big WW fans, So I'm sure they've thought about it.

669
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've thought about what's sort of finishing move

670
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: I have. So you know, I can ask them and

671
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll give me some good ideas. But there's

672
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: a there's a guy has long hair, and they always

673
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: like used to joke about me, you know, with my

674
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: hair and him I forget his name right now, but

675
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: there are a lot of well, like back in the

676
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: day when it was WWF, there were a lot of

677
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: wrestlers from long hair. I feel like you got the

678
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: whole look going. This is something, right, I'm gonna be

679
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: disappointed if you don't come up with a nickname, a backstory,

680
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: and a finishing move for yourself at some point in

681
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: your career, because it's you. Just you fit the bill

682
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: really well. All right, So is this giving you any

683
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: ideas for potential celebrations, oh man for a touchdown? Yeah,

684
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we've done the salsa. We've talked about cooking,

685
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: we talked about wrestling. Yeah. The thing is, if I

686
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, it'll definitely be a group celebration, right,

687
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: It's not just gonna be an individual because I like,

688
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: you know, like your wrestling career, right when you see

689
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: on TV, you know, in the whole defense gets in

690
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: the line and they start doing something or they'll do

691
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: like a bowling skin or something are really funny, you know,

692
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: So that's definitely something you know I would try to do.

693
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: You know if the touchdowns in my future. Um, I

694
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: would like to get everybody incorporated that way. It's funny,

695
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: you know, we can record it. I'll keep it, you know,

696
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: forever and be able to look at it and laugh

697
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: and everybody look back on it and laugh and uh

698
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: hopefully make like the team highlight tape and all this. Oh,

699
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: I think for sure. Well all right, what about for

700
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: you for the rest of the year. What are some

701
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: of the things that you want to work on to

702
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: really get better here in your rookie year, right, you

703
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: know it goes back to just being better every week.

704
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: I just want to improve every week, whether it's stopping

705
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: the run, rushing the pastor you know, holding the bag.

706
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: You know, that's all. That's all I want to do.

707
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: I want to keep improving that way, you know, when

708
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: I go to bed at night, and you know, I

709
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: can be happy with you know, and look myself in

710
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: the mirror and say, you know, I improved, and whether

711
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: it's watching film and and you know, talking to the

712
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: beds and you know, sometimes I might ask too many

713
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: questions because I'm just in their ear, you know, I

714
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 1: just want to know, and uh, you know, I talked

715
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: to Jacob Marnolat. I talked Malee Collins a lot, talked

716
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: to Vincent Taylor a lot, you know, and I just

717
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: try to learn, you know, because they've been in it.

718
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: You know, the average time in the NFL, I think

719
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: it's three years, you know, so and all these guys

720
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: are past their years, so they're doing something right, you know.

721
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: So it's good to ask questions and learn from them

722
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just kind of pick their brains

723
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: and just keep growing. So that way, you know, when

724
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm in their shoes five six, seven years down line, hopefully,

725
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, God blessing me to play that long, you know,

726
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: I'll be able to tell the rookies and know how

727
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: I was in your shoes. You know, I can answer

728
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: your questions, you know. So that's what I look forward to. Well,

729
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to seeing more of you this season. Roy,

730
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: always a pleasure, Thanks for joining us. Thank you. I

731
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 1: absolutely love seeing what Roy has been doing on the field.

732
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: He played a lot of that game, started a game

733
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: against Carolina, and look forward to going against that guard center,

734
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: guard interior for the Buffalo Bills that will be without

735
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: starting guard John Flisciano, who had a concussion. More than

736
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: likely in practice and is out for this game against

737
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: Lopez and the Texans defensive line. All right, we get back.

738
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: We got to start our Keys to the game. So

739
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the Texans offense in our next segment,

740
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: what they gotta do to go to w and then

741
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: we'll kick off the second hour with our defensive keys

742
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: to the game. Sound like a fair deal. Oh yeah,

743
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: I know, let's do that next right here in Texans Axis.

744
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: You're here in Texans Axis, You're here in Texas. Welcome

745
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: back to this Friday edition of Texans All Acts as

746
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: from the Sunday Texans Radio Studio. I am John Harris,

747
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: glad to be with you, and it's time for our

748
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: Keys to the game on both sides of the ball.

749
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: And we're split this up just based on the timing

750
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: of the show and what we got going on here.

751
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the Texans offense a little bit

752
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: in this segment and then really get into the other side,

753
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: what the Texans have got to be able to do

754
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: on the defensive side. I think that ends up being

755
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: either one look both on our key Don't don't get

756
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I don't know. There's something about the

757
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: challenge the defense is facing that we probably need to

758
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: spend a little bit more time talking about them, and

759
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: we will do that. But we're gonna start the Texans

760
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: offense taken on this Bill's defense. So let's get my

761
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: music boom there it is, Let's go all right, this

762
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: Bill's defense. Oh boy. They gave up seventy five yards

763
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: per game on the ground. That's seventh in the NFL.

764
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: Last week the Panthers gave up forty six and a half.

765
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: I think the Texans were like forty seven forty eight.

766
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: It needed to be more either way. Seventy five yards

767
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 1: per game given up on the ground. Through the air

768
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: may have given up one seventy eight yards per game,

769
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: that's fourth total. Little boy, they've given up two hundred

770
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: and fifty two point seven yards per game. That's fourth

771
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're plus three in turnover margin, generating

772
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: three interceptions, three fumbles and only given it back to

773
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: the other team three times, so six turnovers generated three

774
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: they've given up, so plus three in turnover margin. Now

775
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: it's a team with Pro bowlers Tremaine Edmonds, Pro Bowler,

776
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: Davious White, Pro bowlers, Micah Hi, Jordan Poyer, and then tremendously.

777
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: I think Jerry Hughes made Pro Bowl at one point two.

778
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: This group has been together as I look at the

779
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: starting lineup projected starting lineup, because Jordan Poyer is gonna

780
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: be out of this game. As I look at that,

781
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: probably will be Serrand Neio. But we'll see when they

782
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: roll out there their first eleven during pregame, but no

783
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer. It's a group that of eleven guys that start,

784
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: presumably are going to start, they've all been together. They've

785
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: been together, I mean dating back too. I mean Edmonds

786
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: was drafting twenty eighteen. I think that was when Edmonds

787
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: was added. I think Levi Wallace was add in twenty eighteen,

788
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: and then the rest of him came twenty seventeen year before.

789
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: This group has been together except for one guy. That's

790
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau, and he is a very interesting piece and

791
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to this. Get to him in just

792
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: a second. Other guys keep an eye on this edge.

793
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: Russian crew is pretty darn good. Aj epenessa second year

794
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: guy to Iowa. Mario Addison is also another guy to

795
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: watch on the edge. He can be with those four

796
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: with Rousseau, Jerry Hughes, Epanessa and Mario Addison. Those four

797
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: can get to the quarterback from the edge. They play

798
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: for the most part four three style that four down.

799
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: They can do a little bit with Russo and they

800
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of move him around a little bit. So things

801
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on with this Bill's defense. Now

802
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: we'll get to the first key and then we'll keep

803
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: it going on the defensive side against Josh Allen and

804
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: this offense. And I think this might be not only

805
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: one of the more important keys. But if I know

806
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there Texans fans and so

807
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: you want to see the Texans do well. Some of

808
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: you are just driving around listen to the show because

809
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: you like me, and I thank you for that, But

810
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: you really don't have a stake in the game. You

811
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: just want to see good football and you like watching

812
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: good matchups. And one of the best matchups in this game,

813
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: we'll meet Trevious White against Brandy Cooks. Now, one of

814
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: the things about Brandy that we know, having watched the

815
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: first three games we watched him all of last year,

816
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: is that Brandy moves around. They'll put him in different spots.

817
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: They'll line up in the backfield, they'll line him up

818
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: in the slot, they'll put him out wide, they'll leave

819
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: him as the loan ax on a three by one.

820
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: He'll be the one on their side. Davious White's interesting

821
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: because he's not typically been a guy that travels for

822
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: the most part. Now you'll see him move sides depending

823
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: on whether the Bills are playing corners over corners, over

824
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: his own, corner, corners over man. Where you've got two

825
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: receivers to a side, you might bring to the corner

826
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: from the other side to play that if there's a

827
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: tight end on the backside, and you'll lets safety play

828
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: on that. So there are different things you can do.

829
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: But typically Davious White doesn't travel. So if that's the case,

830
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: if he's not going to travel and stick right to

831
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: Brandy Cooks everywhere he goes, then yeah, keep moving Cooks,

832
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: figure out where White is going to be, and then

833
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: keep Cooks away from him. Now, Brandy can handle his own.

834
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, However, if you can limit Tredevious

835
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: White's impact because he's covering a receiver or a tight

836
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: end or somebody that you're not gonna put the ball

837
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: too as much as you with Brandon Cooks, well, then

838
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: that works in your favor. But at Tredevious White travels,

839
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's gonna be a fun matchup Tradevious White

840
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: taking on Brandon Cooks. Okay, that's gonna end our first hour.

841
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: To come back, I got plenty more keys for the

842
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: Texans offense to hit on, but I got plenty more

843
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: keys the Texans defense. Oh boy, have got to hit

844
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: on against League MVP candidate Josh Allen will do that

845
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: next right here in Texans All Access as we kick

846
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: off the second hour of our show, I want to

861
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: maybe we love Houston because we're Houstonians. I don't know

862
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: if Buffalonians Buffalo natives. I don't know the right way

863
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: of saying it, like Houstonians they're not Buffalo Ians. I

864
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: don't know either way. I know they love their trip

865
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: to Houston other than the football game back in January

866
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, but they weren't real happy with Houston,

867
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: especially the second half and overtime of that nineteen sixteen win. However,

868
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo has had the more success, especially in twenty twenty,

869
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: and they've had a lot of success on the defensive

870
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: side of the ball. So how does that pertain to

871
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: the Texans offense? I mentioned my first key to the

872
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: game in our previous segment, and that was Trevious White

873
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: potentially going against Brandon Cooks and whether Tradevious White was

874
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: going to travel with Brandon Cooks kind of innocent pocket

875
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: derell reevous like now over the years and having watched

876
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins in a lot of these good corners. It's

877
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: interesting the ones that do and the ones that don't.

878
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: And the games at eighteen in twenty eighteen and the

879
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: playoff game, White did not travel with hop So I

880
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna end up traveling with Brandon

881
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: Cooks and if he's not throwing the ball all day.

882
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: So that's one key. Will the goalie travel and the

883
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: goalie being trevious White. Now, one other guy that I

884
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: mentioned in our previous segment that was Greg Russo. He's

885
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: a rookie worst number fifty and he hit playing twenty

886
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: twenty at the University of Mind because he opted out

887
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: due to So he basically played one year at college

888
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: football and then he cleared for the draft, sat out

889
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: because of COVID, and then went number thirty in a draft.

890
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: And I thought, okay, and he's got some athleticism, but

891
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: is he gonna be ready to go? Ready? Oh? Yes, Oh,

892
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. And the Bills use him in

893
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: a number of different ways. He'll line up out wide,

894
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: stand up three four outside linebacker, rushed the edge, He'll

895
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,959
Speaker 1: be a four or three hand in the dirt, play

896
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: the run. He'll have me go inside and rush from

897
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: the inside, He'll drop and be a spy. He is

898
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: always involved. He might end up being one of the

899
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: better rookies to come out of this group. Keeping on

900
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: number fifty Greg Russo, and he is very difficult to

901
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: game plan. Four. Number three key is the criminally underrated

902
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: Matt Milano. In fact, we were talking about the Bills, right,

903
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: Have I mentioned Milano's name? No? Probably not, And that's

904
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: a shame because I'm a huge fan of Matt Milano.

905
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: In fact, when Milano was a free agent, I think

906
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: heading into the twenty twenty season, I think he was

907
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: he was an arm restricted free agent, and it looked

908
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: like he was going somewhere. He was gonna go and

909
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: play somewhere. I mean, obviously he's gonna play somewhere, but

910
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: it was not gonna be in Buffalo. He was gonna

911
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: leave Buffalo, it just seemed. And then kind of last

912
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: minute for you know, my man sal Capaccio breaking the

913
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: news Milano's going back with a big contract to stay

914
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. And I think Milano makes that

915
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: defense hole. He is the guy who kind of fills

916
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: in all the gaps, if you will. He keeps everything together.

917
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: There are a ton of talented dudes, and Milano is talented,

918
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: but he's so smart and he's so steady. He's the

919
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: perfect compliment to Tremaine Edmunds. He keeps everything together. Whereas

920
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: Edmund's athleticism sometimes gets him out of position, gets him

921
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: over aggressive, Milano's speed, quickness and smarts get him to

922
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: the ball and they play well off of one another.

923
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: Milano is a big key because all he can do.

924
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: He can drop, he can rush, you know. Heck, and

925
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: that playoff game, he was the one who cara himed

926
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: off Deshaun Watson because he was blitzing from the outside.

927
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: He just wasn't able to make a tackle. Milano can

928
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: be a problem because of how steady he is, and

929
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: to me, he's a lot like Christian Kirksey, and we've

930
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: got the Kirksy in a little bit. But criminally underrated

931
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: is Matt Milano number fifty eight. He can be an

932
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: issue number four. Well, this one now becomes best safety

933
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: in the league. Now, I don't think that Micah Hyde

934
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: is the best safety in the league, but I do

935
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: think and I did think that Micah Hyde and Jordan

936
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: Poyer were the best safety duo in the league. However,

937
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, Jordan Poyer will be out of

938
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: this one dealing with an ankle. That more than likely

939
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: means it'll be serand Neil who will line up next

940
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: to Micah Hide. That takes that safety duo down a bit. Now.

941
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: Neil is one heck of an athlete. He also was

942
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: on the other side of that car crash in the

943
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 1: playoff game with Mulano not making a tackle on Watson.

944
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: So Neil has seen the field before, He's done different

945
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: things before, He's had to step in in different places before.

946
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: But Hide employer play so well off of one another,

947
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: sort of like Mulano and Edmonds du in a linebacking

948
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: corps that without Poyer it's a problem. So it was

949
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: a key from me heading in because the Texas had

950
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: to figure out how they could utilize shifts, motions, different

951
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: personnel groups to try and catch Poyer and Hoyd's slipping

952
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: Hide slipping, and that wasn't going to be easy. But

953
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: now the player's out becomes even more important to find

954
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: something that the opposite safety gets in trouble doing, like

955
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: they screw something up. Oh man, they weren't supposed to

956
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 1: be in this particular set, and you got Serran Neil

957
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: a wide receiver when that would have been Jordan Poyer

958
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: on a wide receiver, and Ployer is a former college

959
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: corner who could handle it. Neil not quite that, even

960
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: though he has played corner in his life. So so

961
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: rand Neil and Micah Hide not the best safety duo

962
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: in the league like Poyer in Hide are. So how

963
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: do you take advantage of that? That's gonna be oc

964
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly's charge on Sunday. And last, it's certainly not least.

965
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: Now this one is more about us, and we like

966
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: talking about us. But the guest we had in our

967
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: first segment is a man by the name of Davis Mills.

968
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: I think you've heard of him. He's a Texas quarterback.

969
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: He will start against the Bills, and just like I

970
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: said against Carolina as that was the number one defensive league,

971
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: this is oh boy. By ranking it's number four, but

972
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: I think it's in the top three overall stats everything else.

973
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: It's between continuity, experienced, athletic sism, everything you wanted a defense.

974
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: This Buffalo Bills group has. The one thing it won't

975
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: do entirely is what Phil Snow did with Carolina, and

976
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: that's bring a bunch of different complex blitzes and not

977
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: understanding which guy they're supposed to block. Getting free runners

978
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: at Davis Mills. Bub Buffalo can make things thorny because

979
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: of the guys they have on that side of the ball,

980
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 1: especially Russian the quarterbacks. So it's imperative that the Texans

981
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: get Davis Mills comfortable and get him comfortable early, get

982
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: him to try and find a little bit of a groove.

983
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 1: I think he found that in the game against Carolina,

984
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: especially late in the second quarter on that drive. It

985
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: took a little bit of two minute kind of work

986
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 1: to kind of, I don't want to say takeoff the thinking,

987
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: but kind of take out the thinking, if you will.

988
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: They got to find that comfortability sooner, and I think

989
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: that was a big thing David Kelly talked about this week.

990
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly talked about this week and allowing Davis to

991
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: do a little bit more kind of opening things up.

992
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: Coach Kelly has experience in Buffalo of a quarterback, a

993
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback that was probably handed a little bit too

994
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: much on his plate that he was not able to

995
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: do anything with. And you remember him Nathan Peterman because

996
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 1: in his second year, Peterman came to Houston and through

997
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: a game winning pick six to Jonathan Joseph Well. Peterman

998
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: is a rookie of twenty seventeen, they decided to put

999
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: him in a lineup over Tyrod Taylor and Peterman through

1000
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: four interceptions to the first half, Taylor came back in

1001
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: led the Bills to the playoffs at that particular time.

1002
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, Peterman never got comfortable, and coach

1003
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: Kelly knows that, and so he doesn't want to put

1004
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,240
Speaker 1: too much on him. But I think to get David's comfortable,

1005
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: he might need a few more things that he can

1006
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: find guys down the field, find them at all levels

1007
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: of the defense. So getting Davis's most comfortable is our

1008
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: final key on that side of the ball. All right,

1009
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: Let's get to the other side of the ball, that

1010
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: being the Bills offense in the Texans defense. It's a

1011
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: Bill's offense that's seventh in the league in Russian yards

1012
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: per game one hundred and twenty seven point three. There

1013
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: are eleventh throwing the ball at two sixty one point

1014
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: three total offense three hundred eighty point seven, that's fourth

1015
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: in the league. They've only lost three turnovers, so I

1016
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: guess one per game. It'd be nice to get one

1017
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: against these guys. But I think the main thing, as

1018
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers the first two weeks, they

1019
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: didn't pop off the table. I mean, there were a

1020
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of questions. Even though Buffalo beat Miami thirty five

1021
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: to nothing, there was this sort of, yeah, we beat

1022
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,919
Speaker 1: Miami thirty five, they're nothing. But the offense really didn't

1023
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: get going well last week. And that's the Washington football team.

1024
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: The offense got going, Josh Allen found his groove. He

1025
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: was shucking and driving at doing his thing, and the

1026
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: Washington football team had no answers. And the Washingt football

1027
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: team is supposed to have one of the better defenses

1028
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: in the league, even though they not played up to

1029
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: that standard at all, blowing coverages, wrong assignments throughout the game.

1030
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean, it was they the watching football team was

1031
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: its worst own worst enemy. That said, Buffalo created a

1032
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: lot of that, in large part because of the Pro

1033
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: Bowlers slinging the rocket. That's Josh Allen. Devin Singletary has not,

1034
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: what's the way of saying this, he's a threat, He's

1035
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: not Derek Henry type threat, but he's a threat running

1036
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: catching the ball to the backfield. You get Devin Singletary

1037
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: in space, he's gonna make him miss. Manuel Sanders added

1038
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs was maybe one of the more underrated signings

1039
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: of the offseason. Those guys create many, many issues. Feliciano

1040
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: will not start at guard, so we'll see how they

1041
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: go about that. On an offensive line. I think he's good,

1042
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: not great, But Josh Allen helps to make them look

1043
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: a little bit better with the way that he can

1044
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: escape out of the pocket. So let's get to our

1045
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: keys and start with that quarterback, Josh Allen six six,

1046
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: two forty. And the one thing about Josh Allen, and

1047
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: this is probably true about Michael Vick, It's probably true

1048
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson, and I think it's close to being

1049
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 1: true about Josh Allen, and that is these guys are

1050
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: the best ball carriers on their team. Stefan Diggs, Devin Singletary,

1051
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: Manaus Sanders all very very good in what they do.

1052
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen with the ball in his hands running scares

1053
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: me more than any of those guys getting out of

1054
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: the pocket designed runs. He can do everything. And because

1055
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: he's six six two forty. He's so incredibly difficult to

1056
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: bring down. My god, he's hard to bring down. So

1057
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: from that perspective, what do you gotta do to get

1058
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: him down when you're gonna need more than one guy

1059
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna need more than one guy a lot.

1060
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: Last week against Carolina, one of the biggest places of

1061
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: the game, he had two guys hit Sam Darnod, who's

1062
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 1: six three to twenty, and he broke out of it

1063
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: for four yard game that got hit late fifteen year

1064
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: old penalty, got him first down, got him out of jail, basically,

1065
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: and they went on to score to maybe fourteen six,

1066
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: and that was ballgame. Josh Allen could do that, and

1067
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: then some so corralling him in the well, trying to

1068
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: keep him from escaping the well, making him throw everything

1069
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: from the well. He's gonna hurt you one way or

1070
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 1: the other. Which way is worse? You want to punch

1071
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: in his stomach or a punch in the face. Which

1072
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: one can you survive? That's the Texans half to decide.

1073
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: Number two. I mentioned Devin's singletary. In twenty nineteen, we

1074
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: saw him a playoff game. He was outstanding. In twenty twenty,

1075
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: he fell off. That run game was I don't say

1076
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: non existent, but they didn't go to it as much.

1077
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't think Brian Dabele, Evin's coordineer trusted it. They're

1078
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: back to trusting it. Not fully, but I think you're

1079
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: back to trusting Devin's Singletary because not only will they

1080
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: give him the rock running, but they also will throw

1081
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: two mut space and he becomes a huge, massive problem

1082
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: when he's got the ball in space. He's as quick

1083
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: with that kind of dead leg as anybody. I mean,

1084
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: he is Leshawn McCoy version two dot Oh. Devin Singletary

1085
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: is a problem, and he is definitely back number three.

1086
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: It's arguably one of the top three receivers in the league.

1087
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: That'stefon Diggs. Now he's got some help with Emmanuel Sanders,

1088
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: but when this thing gets tight, if he gets tight,

1089
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen strowing the ball room fourteen, that's Stefon Diggs.

1090
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: He gets opening a phone booth. He beat you at

1091
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: all three levels in the passing game. He's electric with

1092
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, he's physical, he's everything you

1093
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: want in a wide receiver, and he has really rounded

1094
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: at Bill's offense in the shape when he came on

1095
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: board in twenty twenty. That's when Josh Allen went to

1096
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,399
Speaker 1: a different level. Diggs went to another level, and they're

1097
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: very difficult to stop Stefon Diggs. How to account for

1098
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: him is going to be a challenge, but also finding

1099
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: him where does he line is kind of Brandy Cooks.

1100
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: Where does he line up? Where does he go during

1101
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 1: the play? Where does he end up after the snap?

1102
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: He got into. All those things were number fourteen Stefon

1103
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: Digs Now fourth key. I just called it. He's alone,

1104
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is the pass protection,

1105
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: a pass protection without John Feliciano. If you can get

1106
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: to a point where the Texans are rushing four and

1107
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: guys are winning one on one match us because they're

1108
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: not providing help to those bills offensive lineman, that's gonna

1109
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: be a situation in which the Texans have success. They

1110
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: can win one on one matchups up front. Now, I

1111
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: don't know blitzing a bunch does too much with Josh Allen,

1112
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: but if you've got two guys on a play beating

1113
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: their guy one on one because they're not getting help

1114
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: from backs and tight ends, then those guys can get

1115
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen or hopefully two guys can bring Josh

1116
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: Allen down. But you've got to have guys winning one

1117
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: on one matchups when offensive linemen are alone trying to

1118
00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: block against the four rushing for the Texans and lasting.

1119
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: Certainly not least is a guy that was drafted ten

1120
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: picks nine ten picks nine ten picks. I think he's

1121
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: made ten picks. After the Texans drafted a tight end

1122
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, the Bills drafted a tight end in

1123
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. My name of Dawson Knox from Ole Miss,

1124
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: and he didn't do a lot in the passing game

1125
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: at All Miss. He was really kind of used to

1126
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: be more of a blocking type. I think had he'd

1127
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: been at Old Miss lanke Kiffin was there, Dawson Knox

1128
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: would probably end up going in the first round. He

1129
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: is uber talented. He has got great receiving skills. He

1130
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: will strike you as a as a run blocker, but

1131
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: he's scarier to me as a pass receiver. And the

1132
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: thing is, you got so much to account for Digs Sanders,

1133
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: even Gape Davis a bigger receiver, how do you account

1134
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: for Dawson Knox? Because if you try to account for

1135
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: him with a linebacker, you're gonna lose, and lose badly.

1136
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: And he's beating corners, he's beating safeties. He has a

1137
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: very tough matchup and he is wildly underrated as a

1138
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: tight end in this league. Dawson Knox caught a touchdown

1139
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: last week into watching football team. He is an guy.

1140
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: He's a guy that creates a bunch of issues. So

1141
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: after you've taken care of Alan and Singletary and Digs

1142
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: and Sanders and gotten past rush heat, oh yeah, by

1143
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: the way, they got this guy, Dawson Knox at tight

1144
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: end that can win in a lot of different areas

1145
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: in the field too. Who that uh mouth full? My goodness?

1146
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: All right, when we get back the Bills, Texans are

1147
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: not the only game in the NFL. There are many others.

1148
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: I would pick them all straight up and against the

1149
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: Spreadnext right here on Texans All Axis. Here on Texans

1150
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: All Axis. Here on Texans All Axis. Hey, welcome back

1151
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: to this Friday edition of Texans All Access from the

1152
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: Monday Texans radio studio. I'm your host, John Air's football analyst,

1153
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: sideline reporter, and one last night game awesome. It was.

1154
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: It was one game and I haven't had a chance

1155
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: too much, I guess because Sunday I spent watching the

1156
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: Red Zone. Then obviously our games, so I watched our

1157
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: games up close, and there were some really good things

1158
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: and then some thing's not so good in those games.

1159
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know that I've had a chance to

1160
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: kind of sit down from beginning to end and watch

1161
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: a game like I did the one Thursday night with

1162
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Jacksonville going to Cincinnati. What a fun ball game and

1163
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: it ended perfectly, which Jacksonville losing, which is fantastic. Now

1164
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: I hate to see it for Trevor Lawrence because I'll

1165
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: be honest. I like Trevor Lawrence. I like everything he

1166
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: stands for. I think he's a great, great dude. I

1167
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be great in Duval County. That's a

1168
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: place that means a lot to me. Even though I

1169
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: want to beat them twice a year. Other times, I

1170
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: want to see him do well. Kinda but I want

1171
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: to see Trevor do well. I like him, and I

1172
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: had thought he played very very well in at first half,

1173
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: but since Sandy came with that goal line stand, then

1174
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: you had Joe Burrow going nuts in the second half

1175
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and funny because Joe Burrow, be at twenty four years old,

1176
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,919
Speaker 1: maybe twenty twenty four years old, whatever it is, had

1177
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: the same exact thought that I did. If you go back,

1178
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: and I know you won't because I don't think you can.

1179
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: But I know what my pre game hit was for

1180
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. I talked about Joe Cullin, the defensive

1181
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I knew when push came

1182
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: to shove because at the time he's spent in Baltimore,

1183
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: he was gonna bring a lot of blitz. Well, the

1184
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: game winning play essentially was a screen that Joe Burrow,

1185
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: knowing full well having played the Ravens before, knew a

1186
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: blitz look was coming. Knew blitz was coming, and he

1187
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: had the perfect play call and it was c j

1188
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Uzoma had a great game for Cincinnati, and Burrow made

1189
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: that call because he knew Joe Cullen was a former

1190
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Ravens assistant and knew the blitz was going to be

1191
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: a part of that package. And it was now I

1192
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: bring up last night's game because I would have given

1193
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: you the Bengals as the winner. I don't know what

1194
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: the spread was, though, I'm not sure what the spread was,

1195
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: but I know I would have given you the Bengals

1196
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: as a winner, and I probably would have given you

1197
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: Bengals to cover, which my guess is they didn't. My

1198
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: guess is that it was probably Bengals five or six,

1199
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: and with a three point game, they didn't cover, So

1200
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: the Jags get a cover there, so I would have

1201
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: been one for one. But there are more games on Sunday,

1202
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: so let's do it. I get pumped for this segment.

1203
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: I get pumped. I will hype myself up in between

1204
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: segments knowing that it's prediction time because I love it

1205
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: because it's a chance to go around the NFL and

1206
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: talk about the league. But then I put you know,

1207
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: you know what on the line, whether I'm right and

1208
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I love that competition absolutely. That's to me.

1209
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: It's a competition. So let's start the competition. But I

1210
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: need my music, and there it is, and let's go

1211
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: to it. And we're start in at Land with the

1212
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Falcons gotta win last week on the road, they return

1213
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: home to take on the Washington football team, a team

1214
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: sort of reeling. Lost the opener to the Chargers close,

1215
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: then they beat the Giants on the last second field.

1216
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: But give a lot of points to Daniel Jones and

1217
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the Giants. You started to see some cracks of the

1218
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: defensive armor, and then last week Josh Allen just split

1219
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: it wide open. I think the Washington football team starts

1220
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: to repair those cracks this week. Washington is favored by

1221
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: point and a half on the road. I'm gonna take

1222
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: Washington to get that win on the road one and

1223
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: a half and it's not quite a pickup, but close enough.

1224
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: So I think Washington will cover the one this thing

1225
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: by three. I'm going twenty seven twenty four. That defense

1226
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: is gonna make a play in the second half to

1227
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: start it going in the right direction. But they gotta

1228
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: get their act together. The front does some good things.

1229
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: The secondary blows an assignment. Secondary is blowing a lot

1230
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: of assignments. Washington's gotta get it together, but I think

1231
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: they'll start with a win over Arthur Smith's Falcons. Is

1232
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: the Redskins, excuse me? Find me? Come on, dang it,

1233
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Washington football team move the two and two and the

1234
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Falcons will fall to one and three Texans and Bills.

1235
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, I don't pick that one, but spread is

1236
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: up to seventeen. Yikes, well you know what might even

1237
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: show up? Huh why even show up either way? But

1238
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: we are let's go to Chicago or is it gonna

1239
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: be Arlington Heights in the near future. A don't noise

1240
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: come out of Chicago with this one. But apparently the

1241
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: Bears bought some property up in Arlington Heights. I think

1242
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: that's north of the city. I don't know much about Chicago,

1243
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the big cities. I don't know much about.

1244
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: The Lions are wanted two. No one knows who the

1245
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: starter is gonna be. The intrigue for the Bears starter

1246
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: is just, oh, you can't live with your Come on,

1247
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: give me a break. Who cares? Who's gonna start your past?

1248
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: Protection better be better? Your scheme had better be better.

1249
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: Matt Nagy is a play caller coach. I think Bill

1250
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Lasers may be called the plays Now. All of it's

1251
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: got to be better in Chicago, all of it. And

1252
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: you're taking on a Lions team that showed me a

1253
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: lot last week owing two taking out Baltimore home, had

1254
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: them by the Canadians, and then Justin Tucker with a

1255
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,919
Speaker 1: sixty six yards field goall beat them. The Lions should

1256
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: have won that game. They look great for a half

1257
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: against the Packers, they look great for a half against

1258
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: the Niners. They look great for fifty nine minutes and

1259
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: fifty seven seconds against the Ravens and could not come

1260
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: up with the win. But you know what, I'm going

1261
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: with the Lions to win this week. I think there's

1262
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: more there for the Lions. The Bears are favored by three,

1263
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: which Vegas thinks they're even, So I'm gonna go with

1264
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the Lions on the road. I think the Lions get

1265
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: the first win for Dan Campbell in Chicago, and years

1266
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: from now they'll get that in Arlington Heights. Lions win,

1267
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: Lions get the cover on the road. Panthers be Cowboys, Oh,

1268
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: baby Panthers coming back to Texas for the second consecutive game.

1269
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: We know the Panthers are three you oh, the Cowboys

1270
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: are two and one and playing very very good football.

1271
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Dallas favored by four and a half. I'm going with

1272
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in this one. I think Cowboys have found

1273
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: a few things defensively. Number one, they put Michael Parsons

1274
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: out on the edge. That has been huge. So you

1275
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: got Michael Parsons out there playing with Vander esh Jalen

1276
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: Smith and everything they got going defensively. I like that

1277
01:05:55,400 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: offense is rolling for Dallas rolling. They just destroyed Philadelphia,

1278
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean it all facets on Monday Night. I think

1279
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Dallas does it again. Dallas gets to win and covers

1280
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: the four and a half. They make life miserable for

1281
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Christian McCaffrey is out of this one. So

1282
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: we're going on with Cowboys with dak getting to three

1283
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: and one and increasing that margin in the NFC East.

1284
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: At this rate, they'll have that thing one by the

1285
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: middle of November. Okay, let's go the AFC. Let's go

1286
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: down in Miami where the Dolphins are taken on the

1287
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Owen three Colts. An Owen three Colts team that I'll

1288
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: be without its best player, Quintin Nelson. That often the

1289
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: line has been banged up. The Colts haven't played well.

1290
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz ankles are seemingly made out of paper machee.

1291
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: The Dolphins played gutty, they were gritty, They played hard

1292
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: in that game to Las Vegas. Jacoby Brissette did all

1293
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: he could. I mean, he scored when they needed to

1294
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: score all throughout that game basically, but the Raiders just

1295
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: made one play more than that was the Brian Edwards catch.

1296
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Colts can make that play,

1297
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: so believe it or not, I'm sending to Colts two

1298
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: oh and four, and the Dolphins are favored by two here,

1299
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: and I think that's about right. This feels like a

1300
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: two three point game. I'm going with Miami to win

1301
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: and cover with Brissette rolling over the Colts, and I

1302
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: believe Brissette is going to start, So I'm going Jacobe

1303
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: Brissette to beat his former team, the Indianapolis Colts. Colts

1304
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: followed Owen four. It should be awesome because the Jags

1305
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,439
Speaker 1: already owned four. That would be sweet. So Dolphins win,

1306
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: moved the two and two and cover that two point spread.

1307
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: I think this next game might be one of the

1308
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: sneaky hot games of the week. In fact, I think

1309
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,919
Speaker 1: it might be the sneakily hottest game of the week,

1310
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: and that features a team we faced a couple of

1311
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: weeks ago, to Cleveland Browns going to Minnesota to take

1312
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: on the Vikings. Now, Dalvin Cook is listed as questionable

1313
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: for this game against the Browns. That's not great news,

1314
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: but it's not horrible news. Because last week he was

1315
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: out as the Vikings got a great win against the

1316
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Now, but the Browns coming in, the Browns

1317
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: are a step above, if you will, the Seattle Seahawks.

1318
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: The Browns are playing very very well. That gotta will

1319
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: be Jay back that helped that offense a little bit.

1320
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: But again that offense is Hunt and Chubb, Chub and Hunt,

1321
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know that the Vikings can handle that,

1322
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: although I think the Vikings are playing much much better.

1323
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: But if the Vikings lost, excuse me, Vikings lost, No,

1324
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Yeah, the Vikings lost the Bengals and you

1325
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 1: open and overtime, but then they gotta win last week

1326
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: where they trounced the Seahawks. I think the Vikings they

1327
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: can't do it, can they know? I'm gonna Browns. Browns

1328
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: are fair by who. I think the Browns are just

1329
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: that much better than the Seahawks. The Browns damuge better

1330
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: than the Bengals, and the Browns damuge better than the

1331
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: Vikings who they play. So I'm going with the Browns

1332
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: to win on the road, go three and one and

1333
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: cover that two point spread. All right, let's go down

1334
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: to the Big Easy where the Saints are back, and man,

1335
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,839
Speaker 1: that is such good news. The Saints are back. Hurricane

1336
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: went through there probably about what six weeks ago, now,

1337
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: ye about six babe, about a month ago. I guess

1338
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 1: four or five weeks either way, Hurricane gone, the Saints,

1339
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: no pun intended whether the football storm going to Jackson

1340
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,600
Speaker 1: able to play. The Packers won that game, went to Carolina,

1341
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: got thumped, went to New England, turned over Mac Jones

1342
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: three times, pick six Malcolm Jenkins. They kind of found

1343
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: a little bit there against the Patriots. I don't know

1344
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: if offensively I trust the Saints, but I'll tell you

1345
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,759
Speaker 1: who I do not trust, and that's the New York Giants.

1346
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: Don't trust them at all. Blew that game late to

1347
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: the Redskins, dropped the pass in the end zone. They

1348
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: blew the one last week to the Atlanta Falcons. I

1349
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 1: don't trust them. I think the Saints playing in the

1350
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 1: Superdome for the first time all year, they'll be playing

1351
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: with some juice north of this. Favored by seven, they

1352
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: win this by ten, twenty one Saints win. Saints moved

1353
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: to three and one. I don't know the Saints are

1354
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: what they were in the past with Drew Brees at quarterback,

1355
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 1: but they're pretty physical. Their defense plays very very well together.

1356
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: I think the Saints will win this and cover that

1357
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: seven point spread. All right, stick with our noon games

1358
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 1: and go to New Jersey where the New York Jets

1359
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: are waiting for a FC South leading Tennessee. Tennessee will

1360
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: have neither a j Brown or Julio Jones against the Jets,

1361
01:10:55,560 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Yet does that matter? I don't think so. I think Tennessee.

1362
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I think both of them are

1363
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: not playing is because it is the New York Jets.

1364
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson has struggled. Struggled last week mightily against Denver,

1365
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 1: all the different packages that Fangio and his defense threw

1366
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: at him. The Titans won't throw as much at him,

1367
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: so I do think that Wilson will play a little

1368
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: bit better in this one, but it won't be enough.

1369
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: The Jets won't stop Derek Henry, he rolls Tannehill throws

1370
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: a couple of tuddies to Nick Westbrook at Keene and

1371
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: Chester Rogers give the Titans the dub and the cover

1372
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: of the six on Zanrode all right in the Andy

1373
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Reid Special in Philadelphia, the Chiefs travel to take on

1374
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Eagles got that first win in the year

1375
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: down in Atlantia, thought huh, maybe there's something here. And

1376
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: a loss to the Niners and then a drumming on

1377
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: Monday Night football to the Dallas Cowboys, and the Eagles

1378
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: are one and two and Kansas City comes to town

1379
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: as a seven point favorite on the road coming off

1380
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 1: a loss to the Chargers. Josh Gordon was added to

1381
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad. He probably won't play.

1382
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: He will eventually, but I don't think it matters. I

1383
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: don't know that Philadelphia can fully incompletely stop Kansas City.

1384
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: The only team that can stop Kansas City is Kansas City.

1385
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: And that's what Kansas City has been doing is stop

1386
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. It won't this week. Kansas City is

1387
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna win this thing. Let's go twenty nine to thirteen.

1388
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: That's more than seven. Casey with the win, Casey with

1389
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: the cover. Andy Reid, the former conquering hero, comes back

1390
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: to Philly to get a win over the Eagles. Let's

1391
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: go the afternoon games where the Arizona Cardinals are taken

1392
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: on the LA rams Boys. Some of these afternoon games

1393
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: are awesome. The Cardinals taken on the Rams in La

1394
01:12:55,320 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium. It's a great game, Kyler Murray against Aaron Old.

1395
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Except last year when this game was played, it was

1396
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Streveler against John Woolford. This one will be Kyler

1397
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: Murray against Matt Stafford. This is all kinds of fun. Now.

1398
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm want to make sure I say this right because

1399
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: I do think Arizona is a good football team, and

1400
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Arizona is a great football team. Arizona

1401
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: has looked good at times, but not at all times.

1402
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Jacksonville kicked them in the teeth in the first half. Yeah,

1403
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: they responded and came back in the second half. I

1404
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: don't think Arizona can go take on the Rams and

1405
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: beat them in so far. I think the Rams coming

1406
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: off that Bucks win or sky high. I think they

1407
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: roll with the momentum. They don't get bogged down with

1408
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: all the hype. Rams win more than four. So the

1409
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: Rams with a win and cover over the Cardinals. The

1410
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 1: other NFC West battle, the Seahawks go to take on

1411
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: the nine Ers. This is a must win for the Seahawks. Yes,

1412
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: it's early in the season and I just went hot

1413
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: take artist, but the Seahawks are one and two Cardinals

1414
01:13:58,120 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: rams one of them will be three and one, one one

1415
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: will be four and oh. If the forty nine Ers win,

1416
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: they'll be three and one and the Seahawks would fall

1417
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: to one and three early in the season. That might

1418
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 1: be too big a gap to come back from with

1419
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: those stalwarts in front of them. I think in an upset,

1420
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco gets beat by the Seattle Seahawks. San Francisco's

1421
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: favorite by three, So Vegas thinks they're pretty similar. The

1422
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: Seahawks are gonna go to San Francisco and they're gonna

1423
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: get a massive upset because they absolutely, without question need it.

1424
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 1: So give the Seahawks a win to get to two

1425
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: and two. The forty nine Ers will fall to two

1426
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: and two, and the Seahawks will just stay close enough

1427
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: to stay in that race throughout the season. Ravens go

1428
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: to the Broncos. What I love about this one is

1429
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,440
Speaker 1: that's a long trip for Baltimore. You're playing an altitude.

1430
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: It's a pick them, it's a pick them. Vegas thinks

1431
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 1: these two teams actually aren't even even. They think the

1432
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: Ravens are better because you get three points at home. Well,

1433
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,799
Speaker 1: they think the Ravens are three points better than the Broncos,

1434
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: So straight up Ravens vi. Broncos. I think this is

1435
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: when the Broncos season takes a little bit of a

1436
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: turn and the Ravens go there and beat Denver. I

1437
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: sort of hate it. I like Teddy Bridgewater. I'd like

1438
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: to see TB five do well. But I think Lamar

1439
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Jackson keeps rolling. I think when they when you have

1440
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: a win like the one they had against Alliance, they

1441
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: didn't play well and you think it's just dead no water,

1442
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:26,679
Speaker 1: and then you somehow steal a victory from the jaws

1443
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: of defeat. That's the sort of thing that kind of

1444
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 1: can get you going, and I think it does for

1445
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I think the Ravens straight up because that's

1446
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: the spread, straight up win this, beat the Broncos in

1447
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: Denver and get a little bit of a role afternoon

1448
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: game in Green Bay. This one doesn't have happened much.

1449
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 1: The Steelers taken on the Packers, Go Pack Go Packer's

1450
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: Ferry by six and a half. Ben Roethlisberger was a

1451
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: mess last week, a mess against the Bengals. Bengals now

1452
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: three and one, good for them. He was a mess

1453
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: now throughout the year, we have seen Ben turn into

1454
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 1: a mess at various times in the season. I remember

1455
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, everybody thought Ben was dead, and then after

1456
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: an offside penalty against US in a Monday night, He's

1457
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,639
Speaker 1: all of a a sudden flip the switch and became Ben

1458
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger Pro Bowl quarterback. We've seen at other points during

1459
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: the year where Ben looks awful and then all of

1460
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 1: a sudden he throws for four hundred fifty yards. Unfortunately,

1461
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: I think this one is Father Time related. It's offensive

1462
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: line related, because that line is not as good. It's

1463
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 1: having really some banged up weapons. Chase Claypool apparently was

1464
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: not at practice today, so he may not play. There's

1465
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: not enough around Ben to save him. There's no Antonio Brown,

1466
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Levion Bell to carry him. There's no there's no pouncy

1467
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: up front to carry him. This is going to be Packers.

1468
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: Big Packers win this by a couple of touchdowns. We're

1469
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: going twenty sorry thirty one seventeen. Pack wins, Pack covers

1470
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: a six and a half and then Sunday night, how

1471
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: could you miss this one? Bucks taken on Patriots. Tom

1472
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: Brady returns to Foxborough after losing last week to the Rams.

1473
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,599
Speaker 1: They've been a lot of noise in New England this week,

1474
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of it had to do Brady, but

1475
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: not a lot had to do with Brady taking on

1476
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots. More or less had to do with Seth

1477
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 1: Wickersham's book that's coming out that has to deal with

1478
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: Krafft Brady Belichick. That's gonna be a great read. I

1479
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: can't wait for that to come out. The Bucks are

1480
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: favored by seven Patriots. Throwing mac Jones out there, man,

1481
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: I kind of hope he plays well. Lall's limits of

1482
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: false sense of security. They come in here week five

1483
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: and the Texans jump all over him, but they gotta

1484
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: take care of business, and I don't think they will.

1485
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: Bucks win. The seven points is right at it, but

1486
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Bucks to cover that. Let's

1487
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,600
Speaker 1: say they win by ten thirty one, twenty one, or

1488
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: maybe a little less, maybe thirty fourteen. How about that

1489
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Bucks win in a Monday Night's game. Holy smokes, Monday

1490
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: Night's game is awesome in so far? How about the

1491
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: game so far? Has this week? So far has got

1492
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: Sunday Afternoon cards Rams three and oh three and oh

1493
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: and then Monday night, the Raiders three and oh come

1494
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: calling to take home the Chargers and Justin Herbert Chargers

1495
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: coming off that Chiefs win Charges in favored by three.

1496
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers get that win coming back home,

1497
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: playing in front of their fans, big one. And so

1498
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: far on Monday night, have we seen that? Have we

1499
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: seen so far on Monday night? Filled? Maybe we have?

1500
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't. Maybe we saw on a Sunday night. I

1501
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: know that. But Monday night, bring on the Raiders, Raiders,

1502
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: the Charges. That's a fun one. Justin Herbert gets it done.

1503
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 1: They win that thing by seven. We'll go thirty one

1504
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: twenty four with a victory four that Chargers. All right,

1505
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: we get back. We got a little bit of Davis

1506
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Mills with your Doherty. It's our final word. It's next

1507
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:51,799
Speaker 1: on Texans All Access. Don Texans All Access, Don Texans

1508
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: All Access. We've got one final segment of this Friday

1509
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Nation of Texans All Access. I'm your host, Sean Harris,

1510
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: football analyst, sitha reporter. We have heard from David Kelley,

1511
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: We've heard from Roy Lopez, we have heard from dB City,

1512
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: We've heard from me doing my Keys and Predictions. We

1513
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: even heard from Davis Mills early in the show, but

1514
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 1: that was a Drew's dozen that is pretty much like

1515
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: everything not football, So it gives us an opportunity to

1516
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: meet Davis Mills. Well, let's talk football with the young man.

1517
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: Each and every Friday, I give the final word of

1518
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: our two hours show to my man Drew Doherty as

1519
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: he sits down with a player. This week, it is

1520
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: the aforementioned rookie quarterback Davis Mills. Drew, take it away, Davis,

1521
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: good to talk with you. You had a little bit

1522
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 1: of time off, you played a half in relief, You

1523
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: started a game with three halves worth of experience as

1524
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: a starter. How much more confidence do you have going

1525
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: into this game against Buffalo? I mean, I've always tried

1526
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: to pride myself and being a confident person, So I mean,

1527
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any more going into this

1528
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: upcoming game. I think just the extra practice reps that

1529
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: I'll be able to get this week will allow me

1530
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: to go in just with a really good feel of

1531
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: what we're what we're playing on running this week, and

1532
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,679
Speaker 1: how we're gonna attack these guys. That confidence has been

1533
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: noticeable throughout your time in Houston, since you got here

1534
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: in May. Has it always been that way where you

1535
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: like that as a little kid? Did it grow over time?

1536
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: Where do you get this from? I think so. I

1537
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: think it was one of those things growing up. I

1538
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 1: always had the mindset that, I mean, I was ready

1539
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: to go out there and play to my best, and

1540
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 1: growing up it always worked out really well. So just

1541
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: been a confident person ready to take on whatever is next.

1542
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: And you know, David Culley earlier in the week and

1543
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: throughout the week has said there's gonna be more on

1544
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 1: Davis Mills just simply because of time, simply because of experience.

1545
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: How much do you embrace that? I mean, I'm excited

1546
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: for it. I don't know if we were really closed

1547
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: off from last week, but I mean, whatever they're comfortable

1548
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: throwing at me, I'm ready for it. Yeah. Tell me

1549
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,680
Speaker 1: about this front seven of Buffaloes. How impressive is it?

1550
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 1: From what I've seen on film so far, They're pretty good,

1551
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: a lot of speed that a lot of their guys

1552
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: have been in their system for a long time, so

1553
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: their experience, with all their calls and adjustment, they disguised

1554
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 1: what they're going to do pretty well. So we got

1555
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: to get a good field for that and be able

1556
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: to anticipate how we're gonna beat them. Yeah, and then

1557
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: at the back end, they've got a guy in true

1558
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 1: Davious White, who's an All Pro and he's surrounded by

1559
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,680
Speaker 1: some really athletic players are in that secondary. What do

1560
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: you make of that that group there at the back end,

1561
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 1: really talented dudes. I think we have some talented guys

1562
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: as well that we're gonna be able to spread the

1563
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: ball around then, I mean, get them on the edge

1564
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 1: and force the defense to make plays. One of the

1565
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: unique environments in the NFL is in Buffalo. I know

1566
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: you like playing in front of the home crowd here

1567
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: at Energy Stadium, but you're also somebody that sort of

1568
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 1: embraces that rode Us against the World mentality type of thought,

1569
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: aren't you. I am. I'm excited to go up and

1570
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,600
Speaker 1: see another stadium. Still still pretty new to this. Just

1571
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: really gone up there and take an end. Whatever the

1572
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: fans throw at us, whatever the stadium throws at us,

1573
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. All Right. We got to see

1574
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: how your powering game day? So do you have any

1575
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: game day superstitions? I do not nothing. Unfortunately, that's probably

1576
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 1: a good thing, right, is there any particular song or

1577
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: set of songs that you kind of listen to on

1578
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: game day to get ready? Really not since college. We'd

1579
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: play some stuff in high school. I mean, I can't

1580
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 1: really think of it, but I know he had a

1581
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 1: set playlist in high school that we listened to just

1582
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 1: in the locker room, but nothing in particular since then. Yeah,

1583
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: and as a quarterback, you kind of got to stay cool,

1584
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: calm and collected. You can't get too amped up with

1585
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: the fun music. All right. Last thing, it's a noon game.

1586
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 1: So what are you eating beforehand? So a lot of

1587
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: guys do the pregame meal because it stays the same.

1588
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: We'll have breakfast offered, and then they'll have like the

1589
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: spaghetti and pasta's offered. But I'll usually just stick to

1590
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: whatever the time of the day is before the game

1591
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: when I have to eat. So whatever's for breakfast, probably

1592
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: some sort of scrambled eggs or omelet with some sausage

1593
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: or bacon. You just roll with it, don't you. I do.

1594
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 1: I like it? All right. Well, let's roll to a victory.

1595
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. We appreciate the time. Look forward to talking

1596
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: again down the road. Best of luck, of course, thanks

1597
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: for having me. Mills, of course under the spotlight, maybe

1598
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: more than at any point in his career. Sure, Thursday

1599
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: night was his first start, and so a lot of

1600
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: people paying attention to what he was going to do

1601
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: against the Carolina Panthers. But this is now against the

1602
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:09,640
Speaker 1: AFC champion, game combatant from last year, a team that

1603
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: won the AFC East, going away one two playoff games,

1604
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: highly experienced, loaded again in twenty twenty one, a defense

1605
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: that has been together for a long time. It's an

1606
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: athletic defense. They've added pieces over the last couple of years.

1607
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: And Russo Epanessa and that's what Davis Mills gets to face.

1608
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: But as I set on radio up in Buffalo, he's

1609
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: got an experience offensive line. He's got experienced tight ends.

1610
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: He's got Brandon Cooks as a receiver, and he's got

1611
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot of experience at running back. Tim Kelly in

1612
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: his third year of calling plays. He's got coaches that

1613
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: have been literally in Baltimore before. He's not bringing a

1614
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: knife to a gunfight. He's gonna need to make some

1615
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: plays in this game. It's gonna be as tough as

1616
01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,640
Speaker 1: any game the Texas are gonna play this year. I

1617
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: think this is arguably the most talented team in the AFC,

1618
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: top to bottom, all across the board. Look, the Chiefs

1619
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: have got Mahomes, Kelsey, and Hill, but beyond that, I

1620
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: don't know why I look at anybody else and go, yeah,

1621
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: Chris Jones on defense the Bills, it doesn't stop. This,

1622
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 1: I think is the toughest opponent of Texas will face

1623
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 1: in the AFC this year. They're seventeen point underdogs. Nobody

1624
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: thinks they're gonna do anything. So you know what, you

1625
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: go up there and you play your game, and if

1626
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: you're Davis, you let it fly. Nobody expects you to

1627
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: throw for a couple of tuddies in three hundred yards

1628
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: or whatever the case might be. So you just make

1629
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: your read, make the throw, and go and do whatever

1630
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,919
Speaker 1: you can to help this team in whatever way possible

1631
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: and let those veterans and those guys around you make

1632
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 1: some plays and at the end of sixty minutes see

1633
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: where you are. Can't wait for Sunday. A big thanks

1634
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: to everybody who participated on the show. Drew Deepie, Mark

1635
01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: David Kelley, Davis Mills, Roy Lopez Man, Robert Harris back

1636
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,759
Speaker 1: in studio, keeping me straight and you guys for listening.

1637
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: You are the very best. We'll see you Sunday and

1638
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:06,599
Speaker 1: us always go Texans.
