00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully you're safe, you are warm, not wet like we

00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: were in Tennessee last week, and you are enjoying yourself

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: and being kind to one another. I can't emphasize that

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: enough to be kind to one another at this holiday season,

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: but I appreciate you being here for Texans All Access.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter, and

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to do. We're gonna hear from

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: David Culley, Tyrod Taylor, Jimmy Morrissey, David Fletcher, Jimmy Morrissey again.

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: Also my Keys to the Game and my game predictions

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: straight up and against the spread, brought to you by

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Caesar's Rewards for every way you play. A lot to do,

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: so let's start the way we always do on a

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Friday with our good pal, the head coach of your

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, David Culley, who gave a little game preview

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: to the Voice of the Texans, Mark Vandemir coach. Before

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: we get into the game itself, how was the week

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: of preparation for you head Thanksgiving? I know you cut

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: that day not shorter, but you changed the way you

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: arrange the day and you're ready to go for the Jets.

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Mark it was a normal week for us. The only

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: thing we did we adjusted Thanksgiving practice on Thursday simply

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: because we wanted to give our players and a coaches

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: time at home right to be able to enjoy the

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving day. But with as a normal practice, normal week

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: other than we know on Friday, what ends up happening

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: is that guys have put in a bunch of food,

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: coaches have put in a bunch of food, and the

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: energy level has to be picked up. We really got

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: to do a good job of coaching to get them back,

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: and the same thing with us as coaches and with

35
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: those guys as players. But it was basically a normal week,

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: except it ended up being having time with your family

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: for a whole half a day on Thanksgiving. Well, you've

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: talked about all season long how you like the temperament

39
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: of this team, win or lose, But coming off of victory,

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: is there something extra that you sense in the prep

41
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: for the next one up. Well, there's the psyche is better.

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you feel it and and havn't It's been

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: a while since we had had that feeling. But Mark,

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: as far as the preparation, the preparation was the same,

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: The same energy was there, but you kind of feel it.

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: You feel it as a coach, you know, you feel

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: you feel better about things. Here's the thing about when

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: you win. Sometimes when you win games, things get masked.

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: In other words, you know there are things that although

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: you won the ball game, there was like five or

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: six things in that ball game that could have flipped

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: the game around that you got to make sure you

53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: correct when you win. Sometimes as a coach and as

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: a player, you kind of go over those things and

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of forget that those things happen. Where when you

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: lose those kind of games like that, then you isolate

57
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: on those things. You do that so you have to

58
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: do the same things after a win. Sometimes we're a

59
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: little more in tune with things after win and we

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: are after a loss for that reason. Coach and passing

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: yards per game Top sixteen teams. Everybody is above five

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: hundred except for the Jets. They're ninth. And I know

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: they've used multiple quarterbacks, but it appears that's one thing

64
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: they do well that you have to be ready for

65
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: their aerial attack. It's very good. And you know, obviously,

66
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: starting with the rookie quarterback that they have who we

67
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: are going to see this week, they do a good

68
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: job of running football. That's part of who they are.

69
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: They're very good at it. They've got good weapons. That's

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: part of their philosophy of how they do things. And

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: I expect them to continue to do that same thing.

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: And I know with your offense, you're looking to run

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: the ball better. We've talked about that plenty of times.

74
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: But you're coming off a game in which you've finally

75
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: got into the end zone on the road. You had

76
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: some positives there, but I know you're trying to improve

77
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: on that side of the football. And that goes back

78
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: to what I said about when you win games, things

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: get masked. We did not run the ball as well

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: in that game as we'd like to. We ran it

81
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: as much as we like to. We just need to

82
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: run it better. Mark, And when you run it better,

83
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: obviously the passing game becomes better, it becomes more consistent,

84
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: and whether the quarterback is scoring it or the backs

85
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: are doing it on the runs or whatnot, are getting

86
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: out of pocket, extending plays. The fact that you're you

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: have to defend that is so important in people being

88
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: able to stop what you do. And you haven't been

89
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: home in a while, and here you are back at

90
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: n RG and a salute to Service day and I

91
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: know you're where they're gear and everything. So many people

92
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: love this theme day for so many reasons. Well, the reasons,

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the reasons why we are able to do what we

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: do and enjoy life the way we enjoy life in

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: this country is because of those servicemen and service women

96
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: that have served this nation. And my father and my

97
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: uncle one was Korean War and the other one was

98
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: World War Two, and they never never let me forget.

99
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Why you're able to do the things that you're doing

100
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: right now is because of the people that have served,

101
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: people that have lost their lives for us to be

102
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: able to do what we do. And it's very special

103
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: and man coach and very very well said, all right,

104
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: injury report, we gotta get our status report in. It's

105
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: not lengthy, which is good. The Texans only have one

106
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: player out. We knew this was coming, Jordan Jenkins when

107
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I play against his former team. He is out. Davey

108
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: On Davis miss practice today for the second day. He

109
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: is questionable but limited participants today practice. Nico Collins, John

110
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Than Grenard, Lonnie Johnson. Those three are questionable for this one.

111
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: For the Jets, we mentioned this, Michael Carter is out

112
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: with that sprained ankle. Limited participants, Corey Davis starting receiver,

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: Fully Fought Takasi, defensive lineman John Franklin, Meyers Shack Loss

114
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: and CJ. Moseley. Nathan Shephard. Five guys in the front seven.

115
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: They're all questionable along with Davis. So two players out.

116
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: We knew both of those were out at the beginning

117
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: of the week. We'll keep an eye on who else

118
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: is out as we move a little bit closer to

119
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: Sunday kickoff at noon at NRG Stadium. Thankfully, a guy

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: that is in is Tyrod Taylor, and he did a

121
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: little Deep st interview with Deep City. Great to see

122
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: you back out on the field again. I think one

123
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: of my favorite pictures is going to forever be this season.

124
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: You diving over the pile with the rain and you're

125
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: getting that touchdown on the road against Tennessee. Yeah. Well,

126
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: I was definitely a fun game to be a part of.

127
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: Obviously didn't plan on jumping, but that's how it goes

128
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: some downs in the game when you're just in a

129
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: moment and competing and doing whatever it takes to get

130
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: the team and the end zone. I was just going

131
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: to ask you that, at what point were you scrambling

132
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: you thought, you know what, now would be a good

133
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: time to dive over guys. Um, I really just took

134
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: the chances. I figured most dvs go low, so I

135
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: just kind of reading his body language and look like

136
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: he was preparing to either try to chop me or

137
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: go at my feet, and I just try to jump.

138
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to declare, but it's probably a good thing

139
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: that he grabbed my foot because I probably would have

140
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: flipped and fell on my head or something. Yeah, we

141
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: definitely don't want to see that. I got admit I

142
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: cringed a little bit when you dove, but then once

143
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: you scored, it was like, that was great. We'd love

144
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: to see that again. Just stay healthy. Your mobility is

145
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: something that everyone sort of talked about before you even

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: took to the field, and David Cole, who remembered you

147
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: obviously from your time in Buffalo said he thought you

148
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: looked even faster this year than you did back then.

149
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: So as a quarterback, there's so many different aspects of

150
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: your game you have to work on. But how do

151
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: you work on mobility? How do you work on your speed? Well,

152
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: just I mean taking training in the off season series,

153
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean obviously understanding and that's part of my game. Actually,

154
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: when Coach Kelley, when we were together, I was coming

155
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: off of growing surgery. So it could be true that

156
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: I am more explosive this year. I could say it,

157
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: But it's just detail in the preparation in the off

158
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: season and trusting the guys in the weight room here

159
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: in season, and just taking care of your body, doing

160
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: the right thing. You don't just wake up like I'm fast.

161
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: I can just once upon it, once upon a time day,

162
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna work on it a little bit. One of

163
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: the other things about you your interceptions per past attempt

164
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: It's one of the lowest in the league. One point

165
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: five percent of your past attempts have ended in interception.

166
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: That's something that a lot of people talk about. Your

167
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: ability to protect the ball. Aaron Rodgers is the lowest

168
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: at one point three percent. How does that sort of

169
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: come about over the course of your career. Learning not

170
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: to throw interceptions. I mean, is that something that's just

171
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: a learned skill, learned trade. Do you have to focus

172
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: time on it or is it just a matter of

173
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: how you play the game? Um. I think it's a

174
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: little bit of both. It's definitely how I play the game,

175
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: but I think just learning um over the year, just

176
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the winning formula, I mean, obviously no self inflictive mistakes,

177
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: and that's turnovers as part of that, as well as

178
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: penalties and trying to keep those at minimum definitely helps.

179
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: I remember back in my early days and getting drafted

180
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: the bottomore we had a very strong defense and a

181
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent on the offense as well too. But

182
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: I remember having conversations with Ed Reid and ray Lewis,

183
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: those guys, and just the defensive mindset when you have

184
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: a strong defensive unit, just sometimes it's it's okay to

185
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: in the drive and whether it's a field goal or

186
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: a punt, I mean, obviously not giving a ball back

187
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: to the other team. Shooting in the field. Sometimes you

188
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: got to play more of a game management game, and

189
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: it sometimes when you have to go out there and

190
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: take those risks, I'm and give you guys opportunities to

191
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: make plays. So it's a it's a little bit of balance. Yeah,

192
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: it goes that. Being said, the Miami game, everyone talked

193
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: about how that was so uncharacteristic. How about it for

194
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: you mentally because you end on that game and then

195
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: you've got this long stretch of a bye week where

196
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: that's sort of the last thing sitting in your memory.

197
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: But you come out against Tennessee and it's like a

198
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: distant memory for you. For you personally, how do you

199
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: overcome a tough game like that and turn the page

200
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: to the next game and not let that really linger

201
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: in your mindset? Yeah? I mean, honestly, as a competitor,

202
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: how manytime you lose, it's tough you beat yourself up

203
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: about it. I'm probably one of my or not one

204
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: of my I'm my biggest critic, and my parents to

205
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: tell you that, the coaches to tell you that, so

206
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: obviously getting the bad taste out of him. If you

207
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: want to play the next week, we gotta buye week,

208
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: so you hatta. I had a chance to process it,

209
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: learn from it, and make sure that I put it

210
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: behind me, didn't let it linger until the next weeks.

211
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: I think that's just all about being a professional. Understand

212
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be ups and downs on your personal journey,

213
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: but also in your athletic career. And if you stay

214
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: focused on what you set out to do at the

215
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, you can stay layers and focused

216
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: on the ultimate goal, which is one in each and

217
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: every week, and putting yourself in a position to do that.

218
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: And if you're thinking about the past, you can't be

219
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: your best self moving forward. All right, a little bit

220
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: about your past. You grew up in Hampton, Virginia, and

221
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: I heard somewhere in an interview that you did a

222
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: long time ago that Allen Iverson is like a big

223
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: brother to you because you guys both grew up in

224
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: the same in the same town. So what did you

225
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: learn from Allen Iverson growing up? I mean, obviously he

226
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: was just about every every athlete my age. I mean

227
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: growing up watched Alon Iverson. They've seen the braids, they've

228
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: seen the swag on the court, and I've seen them

229
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: on the football field as well too. Just I mean

230
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: all around baller. Just just why did he took with

231
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: him and being himself each and every day? This was

232
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: unique and I mean, if you know people from my area,

233
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we definitely take those conversations and we take

234
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: the way he played, the way Pig played other guys,

235
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: and I won't continue to keep naming, but it's a

236
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: ton of guys that we just take those I guess

237
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: just looked at them and put them as a focus.

238
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: More so to say when I when we were younger,

239
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: just trying to be like those guys and make plays

240
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: and do what we could for our team. Well, you're

241
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: really respected in the NFL as well. I feel like

242
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: every time I hear any sort of commentator or former

243
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: player talk about you, they always say, Tyrod Taylor my guy.

244
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: In fact, I think it was Nate Burlison after your

245
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: first your first start, he said, that's my guy. And

246
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: what I want to know is because you're obviously not

247
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: like a loud, raw raw guy. You're sort of soft spoken.

248
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: You're you know, you're very thoughtful in what you say.

249
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: How are you everyone's guy? Like? How do you make

250
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: that connection? Oh? No, I mean Nate, it's a great, great,

251
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: great dude. Thank you. Just a respect level. Obviously, We've

252
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: crossed paths, and I've crossed paths within my eleven years

253
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: as a professional with many guys and even guys that

254
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: I played against in college they went on to be professionals,

255
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: but just a respect level, always treating people with respect,

256
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: and I mean ultimately game recognized game. I mean, regardless

257
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: of how things shape out, game recognized game, game recognized game.

258
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: And I think that could also be said for your fashion.

259
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: We've really enjoyed some of your game day looks. How

260
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: do you How would you describe your fashion personality? Oh,

261
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's tough to describe it. I actually

262
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: had that question of years ago. I'm just being me.

263
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm not like you said, I'm not very outspoken. Um

264
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: So sometimes when it comes to fashion, you let your outfit,

265
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: your look speak for you away. I think it's just

266
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: boils down to just being confident in whatever you wear. Yeah,

267
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, and you seem to pull

268
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: that off. Well, who shops for you? You You shop for

269
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: yourself and you do more so you get to keep

270
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: the clothes that you purchased. That is that is a

271
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: huge plus. All right, So how do you think your

272
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: fashion has evolved over the years. I think it's evolved

273
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: with time. I mean, I don't I don't want to

274
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: say I'm trendy, Like I said, if anything is, it's

275
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: something that just puts my personality together. Not necessarily like

276
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: I said over outspoken person, but I speak through my

277
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: office and I don't. All right, well, I like getting dressed.

278
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, all right, we I'm gonna take you down

279
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: memory lane. This is um Tyrod Taylor circa October Fish

280
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: twenty wave. Yeah, you did a lot of suits and

281
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: three piece suits which don't seem super comfortable on a plane.

282
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: I actually have a story, but why I wore so

283
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: many suits? Why so when I first time there, obviously

284
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: Rex Ryann was a head coach. I was coming from Baltimore.

285
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan was coming from New York and he told

286
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: me to me at the time, obviously Buffalo is not

287
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: necessarily a bigger market. Obviously they've got more notoriety now

288
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: because of them doing well the past couple of seasons.

289
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: But he was saying that anytime you get a chance

290
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: to be in front of a camera and Buffalo, make

291
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: sure you present yourself well. And at the time it

292
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: was my first year, got the starting job, and I

293
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: was like, you know what I want to do fifteen

294
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: different suits or sixteen different suits and ended up going

295
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: with sixteen different suits that year. So I have a

296
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: ton of suits at home because that's a lot of suits.

297
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: Actually I did sixteen. That is a great story, Tyrod Taylor.

298
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: Now maybe he can teach Jimmy Morrissey something because Jimmy,

299
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna teach Drew something. But Drews doesn't next right

300
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access. Since All Access, I know

301
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: we've got some really big fans out there today, but

302
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: I got to give some props to today's biggest Houston

303
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: Texas fan, and that's Dyking. These guys are doing big

00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to stop now. It's just always been

395
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: a tradition ever my first game I started at Pitt

396
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: always watched the the iPad copy version of the filmmac

397
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: Get after every game and just watch it immediately. And

398
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: it's what all the other guys too too. I was

399
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: just nice that I guess he was there and saw that.

400
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: But how'd you get good at that? Though? It's it's

401
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: not something you just start doing just time experience was

402
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: high school was its college? Really we watched minimal film

403
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: and in high school, but in college really was when

404
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: it started. And you know, watching on your iPad And

405
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: then I prefer to not watch on my iPad. I

406
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: like the clicker and the having the computer and monitor

407
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: in front of me. So I really don't watch much

408
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: on my iPad except for outright after the games and

409
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: just watch it here like kind of because you have

410
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: to because you're on a plane and it's these spaces

411
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: limited all that stuff. Yeah, have you picked up much

412

00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: the last meal you cooked was I have not cooked

460
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: the meal since the spring, really eating at all the

00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: it over a thing a play to rice. That would

465
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: be like my lunch after working out. Was this in

00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: the show. I do this every single week, minus last

538
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: week because well there was no game, so I didn't

539
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: have any keys to the game. But this week there's

540
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: a game, so I have keys to the game to

541
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: win over the New York Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets, So

542
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: let's do it. Cue my music, and let's go. All right,

543
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. Let's start with the Jets offense the Texans defense.

544
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: It's the Jets group that runs for seven twenty eight

545
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: point nine yards per game, that's twenty ninth in the NFL.

546
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: They throw for two fifty eight point eight that's ninth

547
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL, three thirty seven point seven yards per

548
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: game total offense, twenty first. However, they've lost twenty three turnovers,

549
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: five fumbles, eighteen interceptions. Now a couple of things stand out.

550
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: Number one that passing yards per game, that total went up, up, up, up,

551
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: when Mike White and Joe Flacco were in the lineup.

552
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's not had quite that sort of acumen at

553
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: two fifty eight point eight for his starts. Zach Wilson,

554
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: the rookie should be back, will be back because there's

555
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: no Flacco and there's no Mike White. Joe Flacco Mike

556
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: White both on COVID nineteen reserve list as of right now.

557
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Flacco's out, he's not vaccinated. He can't make it back.

558
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: He's got the ten day close contact situation. Mike White,

559
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: I believe, is the one who tested positive. He could

560
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: come back. He has vaccinated. He's got to get a

561
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: couple of tests. It doesn't appear that's gonna happen. So

562
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: it sounds like it went from Joe flaccum Mike White

563
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: to Zach Wilson and Josh Johnson. Josh Johnson the former

564
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: Texan who played here and it was kind of in

565
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: and out for a year here with the Houston Texans.

566
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: So let's get to it. The keys to the game.

567
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: This is an offense that's still trying to find its

568
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: sea legs. But they've got some young talent and it

569
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: starts a receiver. The OHO number eight and Elijah Moore.

570
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: Now if that name sounds familiar, it's because he was

571
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: a superstar o miss. We talked a lot about him

572
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: in the lead up to the twenty twenty one NFL Draft.

573
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: He was the third pick overall in the second round.

574
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: Through the first five games of the season, he had

575
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: nine receptions. He was targeted just twenty six times in

576
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: those games. To say just that's six and a half

577
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: targets per game. After those first five games, he was

578
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: targeted thirty seven times. That's seven point four targets. So

579
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: he went off almost a full target per game in

580
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: those next four weeks. In the first four weeks, like

581
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: I said, he caught nine passes total. He had eight

582
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: last week against the Dolphins one hundred and forty one yards,

583
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: including a sixty two yarder that I drew up for

584
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: tell Strator. You can see at KPRC Game Day Channel two.

585
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: What I drew up in what I saw, and I

586
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: liked the way the Jets distrow football standpoint. I liked

587
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: the way the Jets set that up. I don't like

588
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: seeing it in an opponent that the Texas are facing,

589
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: because it was very well schemed and very well executed.

590
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: Now that was Joe Flacco thrown to Elijah Moore. Assume

591
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: be Zach Wilson throw it to Elijah Moore. Now, I

592
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: didn't mean for it to be this way, because I

593
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: do think Zach Wilson to Elijah Moore is gonna be

594
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: a great connection in the future. Hopefully not Sunday. But

595
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: those first few games, they Zach Wilson and Elijah Moore

596
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: could not get linked up. Only nine those games. These

597
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: catches came from Mike White and Joe Flacco. They really

598
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: set it off. So what happens with Wilson back in.

599
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: My guess is they will try and force feet Elijah Moore,

600
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: even though they weren't connecting earlier this year. I think

601
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: they will go to him. More is already the best

602
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: offensive player on the Jets. That's not McKay Beckton. Elijah

603
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Vera Tucker is extremely good upfront. Mackai Beckton won't play.

604
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore is the best offensive threat, best offensive weapon.

605
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: He is the most explosive weapon. He's the kind of

606
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: guy they're gonna build around. In New York New Jersey

607
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: because of what Elijah Moore can do, the Texans must

608
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: limit his explosive abilities. No explosives with Elijah Moore. That's

609
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: a pretty good start. Number Two. I mentioned Zach Wilson.

610
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: He is back. He is boy. What's the right way

611
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: of saying this. He can be explosive if that's the

612
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: right word for a quarterback, and what I mean by

613
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: that is he has a whip for an arm, so

614
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: he can make any throw on a field. I'm really

615
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: excited to see him. I don't know if that knee

616
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: injury will set him back at all, if he's trying

617
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 1: to come back too early, who knows. But Zach Wilson's

618
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: I think biggest trait and best trade is the fact

619
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: that he can throw off schedule and off platform as

620
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 1: well as anybody. He would roll right at BYU and

621
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: fire one back to the middle of the field and

622
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: throw it on a dime. I don't want that happening.

623
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: I want to keep him in the well and I

624
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: want to make Zach Wilson have to throw from there.

625
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: He's not the tallest guy. He's six two and a half,

626
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 1: so he's not short, but I want to make him

627
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: throw from the well, make him throw through all those

628
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: bodies and then let that pass rush collapse on top

629
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: of him without him getting out, and make him plays

630
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: off platform. Keep Zach Wilson in the well. The best

631
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: friend of a rookie quarterback is a run game. But

632
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: who's gonna run it? For the Jets? Major question. Michael Carter,

633
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: running back out of North Carolina rookie running back out

634
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: of North Carolina was injured last week. Now, he didn't

635
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: go in IR because the thought is it's two to

636
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: four week set. You put him on IR, it's at

637
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: least three weeks. They didn't want to do that, so

638
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: they'll just make him inactive for the game. But that's

639
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: a big miss this week against the Texans. So who

640
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: runs it? Ty Johnson, he's the been the backup. Tevin

641
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: Coleman has breakaway speed, they have home run of hitting ability,

642
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: but they're actually seventy three yards per game on the

643
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: ground and that was with Carter. So what are Johnson

644
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: and Coleman gonna do? That's a big question for the Jets.

645
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: The Texans have the opportunity to completely totally eliminate the

646
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: run game and put it all on a rookie quarterbacks shoulders.

647
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: That's a nice place to be, but they have to

648
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: do that, and they have to be respectful of the

649
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: speed Johnson and Tevi Coleman have and not blown assignment,

650
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: not be gap responsible and let them blow through a

651
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: wide open hole because somebody stepping into the wrong gap

652
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: and they steal a touchdown or a long play. Eliminate

653
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: the run game, because that's what should happen. And Lassen's

654
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: certainly not least this offensive line for the Jets. I

655
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: mentioned Elijah Vera Tucker, very good player. He's he's on

656
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: pace to be in another Zach Martin with the New

657
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: York Jets. They traded up in the first round to

658
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: go get him to help protect Zach Wilson. They expect him.

659
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton to be back, but Beckton's been injured and

660
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be there for this particular game. Avt is good.

661
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: Everybody else, big massive question mark. Why is that important?

662
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: Because can they stop the Texans pass rush. Texans last

663
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: week rushed four, got to the quarterback. They rushed five,

664
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: bringing guys like Zach Cuttingham and Camu Grugier Hill doing

665
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: some crossdogging in the middle. They got to the quarterback.

666
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: So the Texans don't blitz a ton. In fact, they've

667
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 1: only blitzed if I remember correctly seeing fifty eight times.

668
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: That's fifty eight times through ten games. That's not even

669
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: six a game. And I'm not talking about blitz, that's

670
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: just bringing five. I think that's the way they're counting

671
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: a blitz statistically. So they haven't brought a lot of blitz.

672
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: And they have disrupted the quarterback because they've won one

673
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: on one battles because it's been schemed up with some

674
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: nice te stunts, some nice loop stunts in front, loops

675
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: and stunts in front, and they've gotten to the quarterback.

676
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: Llie Collins has won one on one. John Grenard obviously

677
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: has done it. They've won up front one on one,

678
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: and without McKay Beckton on the edge, they've got an

679
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to win again. That's what they have to do.

680
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: The Jets offensive line is going to be in for

681
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: a long day if, in particular, the Jets can't run

682
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: the football. All right, let's flip it over to the

683
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: Jets defense. Now, this is where I thought the Jets

684
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: would have a distinct advantage this year. C J. Mosley

685
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: Quinny at linebacker Quinny Williams. Upfront, Fatukasi is a kind

686
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: of a grinder type John Franklin Myers I thought was

687
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: one of the more underrated players. He's kind of a

688
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: Denico Autry category. Nobody talks about him, but yeah, you

689
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: watch that dude and you're like, whoa that dude can play?

690
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: And of course he is a lumberjack from Stephen Faustin's

691
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: that matters. What I worried about for them was, Okay,

692
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: how good is a secondary? Especially Marcus May goes down

693
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: and Marcus May went down, so they've been struggling to

694
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: find pieces of this secondary. But what's been shocking in

695
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: some sense is how little they've done stopping the run.

696
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: Teams are averaging one hundred and thirty two yards per

697
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: game on a ground it's twenty eighth in the NFL.

698
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: Passing yards are given up two hundred eighty two point

699
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: two yards per game, that's last in the NFL, and

700
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: the total offense or last in the NFL at four

701
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: and fourteen point two yards per game allowed. They've only

702
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: generated eight turnovers, so they are minus fifteen and turnover

703
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: margin that has been kill. Let's put that def it's

704
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: on the field way too often. C J. Mosley has

705
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 1: not been one hundred percent healthy this year and that's

706
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: made it tough for this particular group. So let's get

707
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: to the keys. Number one. I just mentioned a few

708
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: of these names, but if there is a if there's

709
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: an issue, as I look at facing this Jets defense,

710
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: it's up front and facing that defensive front. I mentioned

711
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: Quinny Williams. I think he is a player on the

712
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: rise still. He was the Jets first round pick in

713
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. He was number one overall and Harris one

714
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: hundred and he shows a ton of flashes. They went

715
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: out and signed Sheldon Rankins this year to go along

716
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: with guys like Nathan Shephard, Folo Fatukasi, John Franklin Myers.

717
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: There may not be names that you're used to hearing,

718
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: but these guys can be pretty disruptive. They can be

719
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: strong and hold the point of attack. I don't know

720
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: how well they ultimately pass rush, but they should be

721
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: a group that plays well together and play well together

722
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: to stop the run better than they have. So it

723
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: raises kind of red flags from me, like what's going

724
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: on at this front hasn't found it yet? If that

725
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: makes sense, It can be a problem, but hopefully the

726
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: Texans render it a well, a moot problem on Sunday

727
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: with what other teams have been able to do, and

728
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: that's run the ball, and we know the Texans haven't

729
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: run extremely well. I understand that this front is not

730
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: going to be the easiest to run against, even though

731
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: the stats sort of go the other way. The Texans

732
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: have to prove it. They gotta go a monoamano against

733
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: these guys up front and start winning some of those battles,

734
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: and the backs have got to see holes and they

735
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: got to make their cuts accordingly. These Jets. This front

736
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: is not Tennessee's front. Tennessee's front was outstanding and the

737
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: Texans held their own in the past game. Didn't do

738
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: much in the run game, but they did have some

739
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: key runs, especially early on. They've got to control this front.

740
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: It's really the best asset for the Jets. What's not

741
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: the best asset is the secondary. The secondary has struggled mightily.

742
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: They give up two hundred and eighty two point two

743
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: yards per game through the air. Michael Carter starts not

744
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: running back. Michael Carter defensive back. Rookie defensive back Michael

745
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: Carter Yes, they drafted two Michael Carters in the same draft,

746
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: one running back, one of defensive back. Bolt of them

747
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: state of North Carolina, one from North Carolina, one from Duke.

748
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: But they started Michael Carter at one corner, Bryce Hall

749
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: at the other. They kind of moved some things around.

750
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: The safeties have kind of been reconfigured because of the

751
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: loss of Marcus May and that is not the secondary

752
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: they wanted to have, and teams have taken advantage of it.

753
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz lift them up like a Christmas tree. Others

754
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: have as well. Joe Burrow, even in a loss, lit

755
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: them up as well. With all the moving parts of

756
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: this secondary, I'm hoping this is an opportunity for this

757
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: passing game. I don't want to say to get right,

758
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: but to really kind of find a synergy and work

759
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: together to put a good number on the board, to

760
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: really put pressure on its secondary. Try and figure out

761
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: how they're gonna cover Brandon Cooks, if they're gonna roll coverage,

762
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: or they're gonna leave Brandon to catch seven eight balls,

763
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: or if they're gonna double cover Nico Collins. You know,

764
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: could this be a big game for the rookie? What

765
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: about the tight ends. How they gonna get the tight

766
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: ends involved in this. So that secondary roundabout, as I

767
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: call it, has been tough for the Jets to handle,

768
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's really played a lot. It's reeked havoc.

769
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way on this Jets defense. The

770
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: fact that the secondary has been such moving parts throughout

771
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty one season. All right, number three. After

772
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday against the Titans, Mike Vrabel talked

773
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: about something I thought was pretty important. He was asked about, Hey,

774
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: your defensive front supposed to be so good. They got

775
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: no hits on the quarterback. They had no sacks or act.

776
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: The only one quarterback hitting now was from Elijah Molden,

777
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 1: the safety. And Rabel said something I thought was important.

778
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: He said, hey, man, they just they took those opportunities away.

779
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: They threw quickly, they moved the pocket, they ran the football.

780
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: They ran football a lot. They were in RPO mode.

781
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: They were not in a situation where they were gonna

782
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: put Tyrod Taylor back there to just stand back there

783
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: and throw. But I think that philosophy works for Tyrod

784
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: Taylor and for this offense. Move the pocket. I don't

785
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: care how you do it with RPOs, with boots, with rollouts,

786
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: whatever you do to get Tyrod off the spot, I'm

787
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: fine with, totally fine with. It gives Tyrod to vision.

788
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: I think he throws pretty well off platform. Like Zach Wilson,

789
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: I think moving the pocket is not a bad strategy

790
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: to leave the number five back there. I think just

791
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: move him, get him out, get him vision, and let

792
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: him sling and let's go. Moving the pocket did pretty

793
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: well for the Texas last week against the Titans. See

794
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: it working again against the Jets and the last one.

795
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: And as soon as you hear it, And I mentioned

796
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: it this morning with Seth Payne because we talked about

797
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: each having a key to the game, and Seth said,

798
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: they've got to run the ball. And then he said

799
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: something really important he said with the running backs, and

800
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: Seth's point without having to say it is Tyrod Taylor

801
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: is a big part of that quarterback runs, designed runs, scrambles. Hey,

802
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: if you get thirty to thirty five yards from Tyrod,

803
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel pretty good about what he's given. What

804
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: you need is a cool c note from your running backs,

805
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead, David Johnson, and potentially Royce Freeman If you

806
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: can get some good play from those three running backs

807
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: and get up near a cnoe where the Texas have

808
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: not been this year, that's awesome. But if you don't,

809
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: you've got to find ways to quote unquote run the

810
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: ball in different ways. Last week against Tennessee, that pushed

811
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: pass to Chris Moore went for nine yards. That was

812
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: a run play. Basically the week before against Miami, Tyrode

813
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: did a little boot. It's a little flip and the

814
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: level at three yard flip out to Chris Conley. That

815
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: was a long toss play. There are and you know,

816
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: quick screens, tunnel screens, those are just those are run plays,

817
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: just design just disguised as pass plays. So how can

818
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: you and I'm putting my fingers up in air quotes,

819
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: run the ball if it's not a direct handoff, if

820
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: it's not a design quarterback run. There are a few

821
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: different things that you can do. Even just like a

822
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: little stagger out to Brandy Cooks. It's a throw, the

823
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: ball goes in the air, it goes up as receiving yards.

824
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: That's just a run play. Let's just taking five to

825
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: six yards with a quick toss, boom, accurate, pretty safe,

826
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: and it gets you five to seven yards. So how

827
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: can you run the ball differently, which just out hand

828
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: without handing the ball off and doing a pass essentially

829
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: a run, So you can run the ball in different ways.

830
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: That's gonna be something that well. I always loved that

831
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: part of the game calling it because I always felt

832
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: like I had a few different wrinkles that weren't that

833
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: risky that I could use that acted like a run

834
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: play even if it ended up being a pass. You

835
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: follow what I'm saying. So those are your keys to

836
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: the game. All right, there's a big game come up

837
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: January fourth, twenty twenty two in our building at Energy Stadium.

838
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: It is the Tax Act Texas Ball. That is that

839
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: the easiest thing to say. But the man who leads

840
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: all of that is David Fletcher. We're gonna talk a

841
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: little college football with him and some possibilities for that

842
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: Tax Act Texas Ball from the Big twelve an SEC

845
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: Right here on a Friday edition of Texas All Access.

846
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: I'm your Seohan Harris, football analyst, sidelown reporter, and I

847
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,279

848
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:10,640

849
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: down with one hour left to go. Because I was

850
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: lucky enough to step in the studio this morning with

851
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: Seth Payne from six to ten on Sports Radio six ten,

852

862
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: the Texas Bowl has a new sponsor, and I feel

863
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: like my man David Fletcher should announce that before I

864
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,160

Speaker 1: title sponsor at tax Act. So it's great to have

873
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: an organization like like tax Act, one of the leaders

874
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: in tax preparations space. They're coming in big and fast

875
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: and strong into college football Tax Act Texas Bowl here

876
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: in Houston. They've got a number of other events that

877
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: they are supporting this this bowl season and and gonna

878
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: be a big part of making college football fans everywhere

879
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: have a festive new year right ahead of what is,

880
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: you know, a very important time of year for their

881
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: business text season. So yeah, I'm really excited to welcome

882
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: them on board and gonna be a great matchup to

883
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: the Big twelve and SEC come January fourth at the

884
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Tax Act Texas Bowl. Yeah, the only

885
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: people you didn't think about, Fletch were people like me

886
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: that have to say Tax Act Texas Bowl because that

887
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: can be a little bit of a tongue twister. I know,

888
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: you can't give us the fall behind the scenes of

889
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: how things go on finding a sponsor and such. But

890
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: that process to me is really intriguing and finding the

891
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: right fit for a bowl sponsor. How did that come

892
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: about with tax Act getting involved? I know, like you said,

893
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: they're doing some other things and I've seen some people

894
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: tweet about tax Act being involved in the college football world,

895
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: But how did that really come to be? The tax

896
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: Act stepped up and became the title sponsor of the

897
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: bowl game. Yeah, it's a great partnership that we have

898
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: each and every year with ESPN. I'm putting on the

899
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: Taxac Texas Bowl and a variety of college football events

900
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: here at NRG Stadium. And you know, when when the

901
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: opportunity arose to work with them, you know they were

902
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: coming in at a time where you know they're a

903
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: challenger brand. Uh, everybody's familiar with your your Turbo Taxes

904
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: of the world, but it's a huge, huge part of

905
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: everybody's yearly planning. You've got to get through the tax

906
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: season and in the right way. And and they're one

907
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: of the best in the business at it. And when

908
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: you look at where bull season is situated and to

909
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: December into January, it's just a great fit for for

910
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: their brand as people have that that process top of mind,

911
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: and UM, they're coming in a really big way across

912
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: the college football platform, UM in partnership with ESPN to

913
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: to really bring their brand of life through college football,

914
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: and we couldn't be more thrilled to have them involved.

915
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: Um they got Texas roots, huge office up in the

916
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: Dallas area and in a company that has served over

917
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: eighty five million customers just in the last ten years.

918
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: So you know, we're excited to have a brand like

919
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: that to help us elevate the experience for the fans

920
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: and for the teams that are coming in come January fourth.

921
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great Bull season with them on board.

922
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: It absolutely is. Fletch and I want to start with

923
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, the Big twelve sec game. We've talked

924
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: about that a lot, and last year TCU Arkansas unfortunately

925
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: due to COVID, weren't able to have that game, and

926
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: I think that would have been a really fun game

927
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: and kind of a kickstart. If you want to have

928
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: it again, Johnny, you want to have it again? Hey,

929
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: you know me, You know I take it. I absolutely

930
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: take that game. Now. TCU's got some work to do

931
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: and they're working on that against Iowa State. But as

932
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: I look through this, there's so many different tenants and

933
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 1: things to consider. It's not as easy as saying, fletch,

934
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: who's gonna be in the game, Because obviously the announcement's

935
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: gonna come not this Sunday, but the following Sunday, after

936
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: Championship Saturday, we'll get the announcement. But flets as I

937
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: look at the possibilities, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, they're still

938
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: playing for the big Anchilata, I don't know if anybody falls,

939
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: but I look at Iowa stay at six and five

940
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: playing TCU today, Kansas eight loss or seven and five

941
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: Texas texts playing Baylor at Baylor. That's gonna be a

942
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: tough one, but a loss even makes them six and six.

943
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: West Virginia is playing on Saturday for boy eligibility. TCU

944
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: is playing that game against i wass date to get

945
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: Bowl eligible. Unfortunately Texas, you know, fell apart at the end,

946
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: but gotta win to get the five and seven. So

947
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: Texas and Kansas are the only two teams on the

948
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: outside looking in. As we sit right now, this thing,

949
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: it looks like a mess, but it's kind of like,

950
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, my daughter. In some sense, I call her

951
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: this she's a pretty mess, and that's sort of a

952
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: pretty mess. It's some sense in the Big twelve, how

953
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: do you make kind of hiding her hair of the

954
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,919
Speaker 1: possibilities that could be here in Houston, the Big twelve side, well,

955
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: I think you hit it on the head relative to

956
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: the top of the of the chart. There Baylor, Oklahoma,

957
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma State playing for a bigger prize, and congratulations

958
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: to each of them on having a great season. We'll

959
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: see how things unfold. Bedlam ought to be a fun

960
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: one tomorrow or tomorrow night as UH as as Oklahoma

961
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma State take on each other. But yeah, as

962
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: you as you look at the rest of the Big twelve,

963
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: I think you hit the nail on the head. There's

964
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: a lot of teams that are going to be available

965
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: in our mix when UM, when the opportunity for us

966
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: UM to choose UM comes to us next Sunday. UM.

967
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: Certainly we'll see how the rest of the weekend plays

968
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: out here. But you know, you've got some teams in

969
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: Iowa State and Kansas State UM that have have have

970
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: had a little bit of up and down seasons so

971
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: far this year. Kansas State losing today to Texas to

972
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: close out their regular season. UM and UH. You know,

973
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: you've got teams like Texas Tech that have had a

974
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,479
Speaker 1: lot of turmoil as well with a coaching change. UM.

975
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: But UM and then and then TCU West Virginia. We'll

976
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: see how things play out. But really and truthfully I

977
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: mean that that there are some really good teams and

978
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: some really good stories on each of those teams just

979
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: looking at them. You know, Kansas State is our twenty

980
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: sixteen champion here in Houston, beating A and M and

981
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: a great match up. There be fun to see the

982
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: Wildcats back here. They've got a senior laden team and

983
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: Chris Clyman has done a great job rebuilding that program

984
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: after some some down years following UH coach Snider's departure.

985
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: And and then Iowa State Matt Campbell is one of

986
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: the best in the business. You know, start of the

987
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: year in the top ten. They've had a really kind

988
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 1: of crazy season. But UM, you know, beat Oklahoma State

989
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: giving them their only loss this year, and has played

990
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: really well in UM in some big games. So you know,

991
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: they went wire to wire with Oklahoma and and UH

992
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: and Baylor as well. So it'll be interesting to see

993
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: how those um, how their their day unfolds. And um,

994
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, Texas Tech opened up the year with a

995
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: win right here in Houston in the Good Sam Texas Kickoff,

996
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: beating you of h given them their only loss of

997
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: the year so far. So you know that think Texas Tech,

998
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: while certainly had had a challenging environment in the middle

999
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: of the season, ended up departing with coach Matt Wells.

1000
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: You know, the energy around Joey McGuire and what they're

1001
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,959
Speaker 1: doing coming out. If they can they can beat Baylor tomorrow, boy,

1002
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: that would be a statement win to to finish up

1003
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: their year and head into the Joey McGuire era. So

1004
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: we'll see how it plays out, Johnny. But one thing

1005
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: I know for sure is, um, you never know until

1006
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: until you know it works out. Yeah, man, when that

1007
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: ink is dry, that's what we'll say for sure. But

1008
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: I'll ask you this real quick, Fletch. My assumption is

1009
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: that you may not want the team that you had

1010
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,240
Speaker 1: in Texas Tech in the Kickoff and in the Bowl.

1011
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: But a lot's happened with Texas Tech. It's almost like

1012
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: it's a different program. Would that preclude them from being selected,

1013
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: the fact that they did play in the Tech in

1014
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: the kickoff game to not playing the Bowl or is

1015
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: that not something that is under consideration from that standpoint, Yo, Jenny,

1016
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: there's Johnny, there's so many factors with with trying to

1017
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: select our team each and every year. And you know

1018
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned having the same team here twice in one year.

1019
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: That's it's not typically something that that that try to do.

1020
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: But Texas techs a great brand, um, They're very familiar

1021
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: with our market ton of Red Raiders here in Houston,

1022
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: and and like you said, they've gone through a bit

1023
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: of transition, a tremendous amount of energy with with Joe

1024
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: McGuire coming in as their new head coach. And you know,

1025
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: if they are able to beat Baylor tomorrow, what a

1026
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: way to finish the regular season on a positive note.

1027
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: And as a Bowl executive, that's something you always love

1028
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: to see. It's a great combination there of a big

1029
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: fan base locally finishing the season pointing up and and

1030
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: great familiarity with the markets. So we'll see how that

1031
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: plays out. They're one of many great options for us

1032
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: on the Big twelve side for sure. Okay, let's jump

1033
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: to the SEC side, because I called the Big twelve

1034
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: a pretty mess. If LSU upsets A and M and

1035
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: Florida beats Florida State and that game is in Gainesville,

1036
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: thirteen of the fourteen SEC teams will be Bowl eligible. Fletch.

1037
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: I remember a lot of things about all these conferences.

1038
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can remember a year when

1039
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: thirteen now, of course LSU being am I don't know,

1040
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: but you could. I could see Flourida Florida is favored

1041
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: over Florida State as you sift through six and five

1042
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: and seven and four, or even seven and five in

1043
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: some cases, talking about Tennessee, Missouri, South Carolina all at

1044
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: six and five, Florida's at five and six, they would

1045
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 1: finish at six and six, they eat floord To State.

1046
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 1: On the flip side, Mississippi State finished last night at

1047
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: seven and five, Auburn six and five, Arkansas seven and four,

1048
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: and then you've got LSU down there at five and six,

1049
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: and if they win, then they'll end up six and six. Fletch.

1050
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: How do you kind of sift through the SEC and

1051
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: what's going on? If thirteen and fourteen are eligible, what

1052
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 1: kind of options do you have there in the Southeastern Conference, Well,

1053
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: no one. Knowing my friends at the SEC and being

1054
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: great partners with them over the years, I think they

1055
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: would say they're just disappointed they didn't get fourteen out

1056
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: of fourteen, and yeah, that's true, but the big road

1057
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: decline for Florida and four ls you to get there

1058
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: this weekend. But that's why they play the games, you know,

1059
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: as we look at the SEC as a reminder, we

1060
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: do have that third selection on the big twelve side,

1061
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: but on the SEC, we partner with the conference, and

1062
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: ultimately the SEC itself makes our selection. We're in that

1063
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: pool of seven bowls that make that pool round up,

1064
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: So from our perspective, we'll see how the CFP plays out.

1065
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a really good case that Georgia is

1066
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: probably going to be playing in the playoff at some point.

1067
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: Alabama's got that Auburn game in the Iron Bowl tomorrow

1068
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: and then the SEC championship game against Georgia, and I

1069
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: think that those two victories are certainly important to their

1070
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: story for the rest of the year. And I think

1071
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: Mississippi with their win last night, is definitely going to

1072
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: earn a New Year's six bid. They've finished a great

1073
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: ten win season under coach Kiffin and you know, gosh,

1074
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: I just you look at how this has played out, Johnny,

1075
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be revisionist in any way, shape

1076
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: or form. We all know we've been impacted by a

1077
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: variety of things we can't control over the last year

1078
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: and a half. But boy, how much fun would that

1079
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: Ole Miss versus Baylor game ben to start the year

1080
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: last year here in Houston? Oh man, when you see

1081
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: what the success of those two programs is now under

1082
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: coach Randa and coach Kiff, and um, boy, what could

1083
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: have been? But nevertheless, um, you know. And then from

1084
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: there it's it's um it's a whole lot of teams

1085
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: that have had a lot of successes and some um,

1086
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: you know, didn't do what they want to do this year.

1087
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: I think from our perspective, we've historically had great representation

1088
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: from the SEC West. You know, A and m is

1089
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: Is is the current reigning defending champion of the Texas

1090
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 1: Ball having won the twenty nineteen game against against Oklahoma State.

1091
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I think they're gonna have an

1092
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: opportunity to play in another market. They typically like to

1093
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: move teams around, don't like them to have back to

1094
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: back to appearances in a game on the SEC side,

1095
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: So Mississippi State, Auburn Arkansas you mentioned was our selection

1096
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: last year, um that game being canceled because of COVID,

1097
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see them in TCU take on

1098
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: each other, but maybe we get a rematch this year.

1099
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: What Sam Pittman's done has just been amazing to watch.

1100
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, LSU's got a chance tomorrow to get back

1101
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: in the mix, and we all know how strong the

1102
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: Tiger brand is here in Houston, and so that's certainly

1103
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. And then looking at

1104
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: the East, you know, I mean you've got teams like

1105
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee that have never been down here, and like Missouri

1106
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: who is here before that. You know, I think if

1107
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: they're able to pull off a victory over Arkansas would

1108
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: have a pretty interesting case. Certainly Florida, South Carolina more

1109
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: East Found teams, So I think the likelihood of them

1110
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: being here is is probably less than others. But again,

1111
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: we don't have a that's saying that necessarily, and so

1112
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: and then Kentucky, you know, it's going to finish up

1113
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: a great season under coach Stoops, So you know, I

1114
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: think there's just a lot of opportunities here to get

1115
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: some really compelling matchups. It's why it's why we wait

1116
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: on pins needles every every year this time of year

1117
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: to see how it plays out. And uh, you know,

1118
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm really excited when I look at what the opportunities

1119
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: are for us with our game on January fourth. We've

1120
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: got a we've got the last full season event of

1121
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Technically it's in twenty twenty two, but

1122
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: we're the last game before the College Football National Championship

1123
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: Game has played. M We've got a primetime window, we're

1124
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: the only game in town on Tuesday night, and we've

1125
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: got a really great window for promotional support that we'll

1126
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: tell a lot about our our community those games leading

1127
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: up on January first and running at football in the

1128
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: third through our partnership with ESPN. So there's a there's

1129
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: a really great story for the teams that could participate

1130
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: here in Houston. We've talked many, many times about all

1131
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,479
Speaker 1: the reasons why why playing in this game is great

1132
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: for the institutions, whether it be the huge alumni basis,

1133
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: the recruiting, the opportunity to be on the big stage

1134
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: here at NRG Stadium, and the Bull Week experience that

1135
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: we create for the families and the student athletes. So

1136
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: all those things are gonna be back better than ever,

1137
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: and our fan facing experiences are gonna add to the

1138
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: week that we've typically had in a big, big way,

1139
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make some announcements on those in just

1140
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. So you know, it's gonna be

1141
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: a fun matchup come January fourth. A lot to be

1142
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: done still, even though we here are at the eleventh hour,

1143
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: but we're excited to see how things unfold this weekend

1144
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: and how the cards may fall next weekend. On Selection Sunday, Fletch,

1145
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: It's odd because the twenty nineteen Texas Bowl took place

1146
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: at twenty nineteen, the twenty twenty one Texas Bowl will

1147
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: take place at twenty twenty two. It's gonna look like

1148
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: there's three years between games. And yeah, there was only

1149
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: one season that was actually missed, just kind of a

1150
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: quirk of the schedule and quirk of timing. But I

1151
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: just like, wait a second, twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two, Man,

1152
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: it feels like a long time. I know that you

1153
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: gotta be itching for a bowl game to get back

1154
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,439
Speaker 1: what it is. I'm gonna say this, I would love

1155
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: to see I would stay. Would be the team that

1156
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: I would want to see now. I don't know if

1157
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: we'll see guys like Breece Hall and they got like

1158
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: twenty six or twenty seven seniors. That would be a

1159
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: heck of a way for them to go out. And

1160
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: I would love to see Iowa stay. I'm gonna just

1161
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: say right now, I would stay Arkansas. I would love

1162
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: to see in the Texas Bowl Sam Tittman against Matt Campbell,

1163
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: I was staying against Arkansas. I would put it. I

1164
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: would put it down right now now. That would mean

1165
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: Arkansas would lose to Missouri more than likely eight before.

1166
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: You never know what can happen. But that's the one

1167
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: I would stay at Arkansas. I'm putting my stake in

1168
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: the ground. I don't know if I'm betting it, but

1169
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: that's the one I'd want to see. My man, Hey,

1170
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: you know what, I'd take that one in a heartbeat.

1171
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: Two great teams, two great brands, be a lot of fun,

1172
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: but they got some strong company around them. And you

1173
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: can keep all of the most up to date information

1174
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: to see how things are unfolding this weekend and next

1175
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: tax Act Texas Bowl dot Com. I know you said

1176
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: it's hard for you, Johnny Broadcasting Side. I get it, man,

1177
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: but you know, we gotta pay the bills. And fortunately

1178
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: we got a great partner to help us do that.

1179
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: And so tax Act Texas Bowl dot Com make it simpler.

1180
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Follow us on Twitter, you get great content. John Harris

1181
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: is a contributor to that site at Texas Bowl on Twitter.

1182
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Great place for you to reach us, and you don't

1183
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: even need to go through the linguistic gymnastics of having

1184
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: to say tax Act Texas Bowl to get there. So

1185
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun couple of weeks though, Johnny,

1186
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: for sure, linguistic gymnastics is harder to say than Tax

1187
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Act Texas Bowl. I think you just you just handled

1188
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: all of that. I think in one sentence, Fletched, that's fantastic.

1189
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: Big week, Rivalry week this week, Championship Week next week,

1190
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: and then Sunday, while we are entertaining the Indianapolis Colts,

1191
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: we will get more than likely the Tax Act Texas

1192
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Bowl combatants for Energy Stadium January fourth, cannot wait. Fletch,

1193
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: you the best of my friend, Happy Thanksgiving and we'll

1194
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: talk to you again soon. Thanks so much, Johnny. I

1195
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: typically say this after I talk college football with Fletch.

1196
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I could have talked all day with Fletch. Well,

1197
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: what you didn't hear was after I stopped the record button,

1198
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: we talked for another forty five minutes, I think on

1199
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: everything going on in college football, coaching openings, what the

1200
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: possibilities were for the Big twelve sec for the Tax

1201
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: Act Texas Bowl. We talked about anything and everything from

1202
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: the next forty five minutes. I could have done this

1203
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: whole hour just on that conversation, but we got things

1204
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: to do. As in picking games every single week, I

1205
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: pick all NFL games straight up and against the spread.

1206
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,360

Speaker 1: feels like it's a long way off, but it really isn't.

1217
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: To make sure you get signed up at Houston Texans

1218
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: dot com. Welcome back to the show, a Friday edition.

1219
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: And when I say Friday, and it's about this time,

1220
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: right about now, it's time for me to do my

1221
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: game predictions straight up and against the spread. And they're

1222
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: brought to you by my friends at Caesar's Rewards for

1223
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: every way you play, this is my favorite. I do

1224
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: it every single Friday and I love it. Now. Three

1225
01:02:54,600 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: games took place on Thursday. Bears beat the line ends

1226
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: in one of the most botched coaching problem decision making

1227
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: situations ever. And it wasn't just the botched timeouts. One

1228
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:14,439
Speaker 1: of these days, I'll tell you what exactly happened. Let's

1229
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: just say that it's not often remembered, but it's something

1230
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: that I can't get out of my head. And it

1231
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: happened in our game against the Titans in twenty twenty.

1232
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Something Mike Vrabel did and it could have helped the

1233
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Lions on Thursday, but Bears win sixteen fourteen. My guess

1234
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: is they did not cover the spread, but Bears got

1235
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: to win. Matt Naggie still the coach as of right now,

1236
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: so they get to win by two. Then the Raiders

1237
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: took on the Cowboys. I would have picked the Cowboys

1238
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: in this one, so I know would have missed this.

1239
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: I just saw the Raiders kind of teetering on the

1240
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,919
Speaker 1: brink with everything they've had, going on a three game

1241
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: losing streak. No way they're going to Dallas and winning.

1242
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: And then they went to Dallas and one in overtime.

1243
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson found the fountain of youth. He was absolutely fantastic.

1244
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro was just an absolute dude. And Derek Carr,

1245
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the most underrated player, most unrated quarterback

1246
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: in this league. I just don't get why people don't

1247
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 1: like this guy. Three hundred and seventy three yards a

1248
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: touchdown led Las Vegas to a big win thirty six

1249
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: thirty three, and in the nightcap, the Bills housed the

1250
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Saints thirty one to six. Josh Allen got back up

1251
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: on that bump and was ready to go two hundred

1252
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: and sixty yards passing four tutties. Trevor Simeons struggled with

1253
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Tutty in a pick. However, the news out of this

1254
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 1: game for Buffalo is not great. Tredavious White, Pro Bowl

1255
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: corner lost for the rest of the year with a

1256
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: torn acl and that is a gut punch like you

1257
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe Holy smoke. So unfortunate for the Bills. They

1258
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: get the win. What's the saying they won the battle

1259
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: but lost the war, won the war but lost the battle.

1260
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Either way, good news the win on the road on Thanksgiving.

1261
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: That's two and three years. They beat Dallas up in nineteen,

1262
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: they beat New Orleans up in twenty twenty one, but

1263
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: they lose tradevious White. That's tough, all right. Now it's

1264
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: time for Sunday and Monday's games, So queue up my

1265
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: music and let's rock as we go. To start in Cincinnati.

1266
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: The Bengals six and four, the Steelers five, four and one.

1267
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's favorite bout three and a half. So Vegas feels

1268
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: like the Bengals are just a shade better. You get

1269
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: three playing at home, they got three and a hook.

1270
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals in this one. I just don't

1271
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: know what to think about the Steelers. I haven't known

1272
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: what to think about the Steelers all year, But when

1273
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: I see it from the Bengals, Joe Mixon crushing it,

1274
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase love it. Defensively, they've had some struggles.

1275
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: They lost to Mike White and the Jets, and they've

1276
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: had some other moments where the defense has struggled. But

1277
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: I think I think this is the week that the

1278
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Bengals get it going at home and beat the Steelers.

1279
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: They won last week in Las Vegas. They're gonna come home,

1280
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna get it done. I think they covered that

1281
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: three and a half Bengals win. This feels thirty one too. No,

1282
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get thirty one against the Steelers. This

1283
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: feels twenty four seventeen ish. But I'm gonna go Bengals.

1284
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: I just don't trust the Steelers, so I'm not going

1285
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: with I'm going Bengals to win. This is gonna be

1286
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic game at noon, a fantastic game. Jonathan Taylor

1287
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: and the Colts host the twenty twenty NFL champion Tampa

1288
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is favored by three in Indie,

1289
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: but Jonathan Taylor has gone wild five Tuddies last week

1290
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: four rushing, one receiving in a blowout of the Buffalo

1291
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Bills in Buffalo. Indianapolis is getting hot at the exact

1292
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: right time now. Tampa Bay hammered the Giants on Monday night,

1293
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: so it's a short week for Tampa Bay. Then they

1294
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: have to travel. I don't know if one day makes

1295
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: a massive difference, but that Monday night game. I always

1296
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: feel like it's going to trip a team up if

1297
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 1: they play early on Sunday. This is one of those situations.

1298
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm doing it when I'm calling for

1299
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: the upset, straight up upset. Colts beat Bucks. Taylor has

1300
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: two or three Tuddies. The defense for the Colts will

1301
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: make a play against Tom Brady and the Holts get

1302
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: a massive win at home, an upset win over the Buccaneers.

1303
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I know it stings to even say it, but that's

1304
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. The Panthers then travel to Miami. Panthers

1305
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: have won three in a row. They beat the Texans,

1306
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: and they beat the Ravens, and then last week the

1307
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins got it done against the team. The Texas will

1308
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: face the Jets to beat him twenty four seventeen two.

1309
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: A ton of voila has gotten two wins, one in

1310
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: a backup role, came in the game, got the relief

1311
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: closer save, and then you got to win against the Jets.

1312
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: What will you do against the Panthers with this game

1313
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: back in Miami? It's first time two has started in

1314
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: Miami in a little bit. The Panthers Cam Newton lost

1315
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: in Cam's start, but they are favored by two and

1316
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 1: a half. Every ounce of my being says to take

1317
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: the Panthers on the road. Do I trust it? Yes?

1318
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: I do. I'm going Panthers to beat the Dolphins and

1319
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 1: slow that winning stream. The Panthers will get to six

1320
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: and six and be both eligible. The Dolphins will fall

1321
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: to four and eight, and the Dolphins will cover that

1322
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: two and a half. What a game this is gonna be.

1323
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: The AMC South is playing some big time games not

1324
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: named Texans, Jets, Coats taking on the Buccaneers. How about

1325
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee going to take on the hot New England Patriots

1326
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: this game? If you put the spread on it three

1327
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago, or even just two weeks ago, I don't

1328
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: think there's any way the New England is favored New

1329
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: England's favored by seven Patriots at home Tennessee. This is

1330
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: the kind of game though, that Mike Vrabel wins somehow,

1331
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: but not this time. Patriots are playing way too well.

1332
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Mac Jones gets to win. I do think it'll be close.

1333
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like twenty three twenty. So let's take the

1334
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: Patriots to win, the Titans to get inside that seven.

1335
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Eagles taking on the Gem New Jerz, Philly's favorite by

1336
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: three and a half on the road. Mike Irvan called

1337
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: a shot on Thursday night a couple of weeks ago.

1338
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: He said, keeping on the Eagles and the NFC East,

1339
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: and he laid out their whole schedule, and the Eagles

1340
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: then went out and beat New Orleans last week and

1341
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: they've stayed hot. At five and six. The Eagles are

1342
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: right in this thing, are right in it, and they've

1343
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: got boatload of first round picks too. If they can

1344
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: get into playoffs and then have all these first round picks,

1345
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: my goodest look out for the Eagles. The Eagles five

1346
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: and six taking on the Giants, and I think the

1347
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna house the Giants. I think the Giants

1348
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: are just mailing it in. Jason Garrett oc is gone.

1349
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: Joe Judge won't say who it is. It's just kind

1350
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: of a mess, to be honest. So I'm going Eagles

1351
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: to win and cover it that three and a half

1352
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: on the road against the Giants. The Falcons four and

1353
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: six take on the Jaguars two and eight. The Jaguars

1354
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: struggled with San Francisco last week as the Falcons got

1355
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: hammered by the Patriots got shut out by the Patriots

1356
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: on the Thursday before, so they had the mini buy

1357
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: before taking on the Jags. Atlanta is favored by two

1358
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I don't know that I like that. I

1359
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: don't know that I like it. I love it. Give

1360
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: me those points. Actually, I'm gonna lay those points and

1361
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: take a land and a win straight up over the

1362
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: Jaguars in Jacksonville. Do us the favor Arthur Smith, go

1363
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: beat the Jags. Let's go to the afternoon games. Chargers

1364
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: taking on Broncos six and four against five and five.

1365
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: The Chargers are on the road. Chargers are favored by

1366
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: two and a half in Denver, and the Broncos are

1367
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 1: kind of like the Steelers. I don't really trust them.

1368
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: And when I say I can't trust them, It really

1369
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: means I can't trust the quarterback situation, but I do

1370
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: trust a quarterback situation in Los Angeles with Justin Herbert.

1371
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: How about Los Angeles has Matt Stafford and Justin Herbert. Wow,

1372
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I'm going Chargers here. I know the Broncos

1373
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,759
Speaker 1: can rise up, make a play here or there. Chargers

1374
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: defense didn't play great the other day, gave up thirty

1375
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: seven to the Steelers, but Herbo and the Chargers offense

1376
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 1: was outstanding forty one to thirty seven on the Steelers.

1377
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: I think, even though the Broncos give a little different look.

1378
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: If anybody's gonna know that defense, it's Brandon Staley, who

1379
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,839
Speaker 1: essentially coaches down the other side. The Chargers up Justin Herbert.

1380
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: That's enough win in a cover in Denver for the

1381
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: Chargers Rams going to Green Bay. This would be a

1382
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 1: good one. Matt Stafford against Aaron Rodgers the Rams. How

1383
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: about this? The Rams are favored by a point against

1384
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay in Green Bay. No, it's essentially straight up.

1385
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Packers to rebound after the loss to

1386
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. I don't know what happened in that game,

1387
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: lost thirty four to thirty one. I'm taking the Packers

1388
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: to bounce back beat the Rams in a close ball game,

1389
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: so I'm getting a point, but I'm also taking the

1390
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: Packers to win straight up. Vikings taking on the forty

1391
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: nine Ers. This is a big one for playoff implication implications.

1392
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: Both teams five and five games at San Francisco. Both

1393
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 1: teams had kind of been all over the map, but

1394
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: the Niners have found the run game and that's big.

1395
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: The Vikings had a highly emotional win over the Packers.

1396
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna play to the forty nine ers

1397
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: favor and the fact that Minnesota has to come to

1398
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Santa Clair to take on the Niners. San Francisco's favored

1399
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: by three. I'll lay it and I'm taking the forty

1400
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: nine Ers to win straight up and cover the three.

1401
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: And Sunday Night, Oh boy, AFC North Battle. Baker Mayfield's

1402
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to win some people over in as

1403
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: lock room. That's been a massive issue. Apparently he went

1404
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 1: off the field after last week's win over the Detroit

1405
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: Lions and just simp man whatever and left. I don't

1406
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: know if the players, I don't know how they feel

1407
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: about it, to be honest with you, but he's gotta

1408
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: go to Baltimore and perform. It won't be enough though.

1409
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 1: Baltimore's favored by three and a half. But I'm gonna

1410
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: take the Browns to cover that number, the Ravens to win.

1411
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: This is twenty one eighteen, this is twenty seventeen, this

1412
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: is twenty seven twenty four. It's a three point win

1413
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, which gets the Browns inside that number.

1414
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: And Monday night, oh boy, Monday Night, Russell Wilson and

1415
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,839
Speaker 1: the Seahawks go to Washington to take on the Washington

1416
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: football team and it's even. Hey, man, yuck. I'll take

1417
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 1: the football team. I don't know, flip a cooin. Let's

1418
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: go football team to win. And obviously it's even so

1419
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: they'll cover as well. All right, we got close down

1420
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: the show. We will do that next with our good

1445
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. But I digress. But before we get

1446
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: into Our Drew's final Word with Jimmy Morrissey. I've got

1447
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: a quick question for all my Houston area teachers out there.

1448
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you are always looking for

1449
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: different things you can bring to your classroom to help

1450
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: your kids understand math. Well, Conico Phillips has you covered

1451
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: with Toro's Math Drills. It's a video series design help

1452
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 1: third fourth grader. So I'm how to tackle math in

1453
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 1: the classroom. You go to Houston Texas dot com slash

1454
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: Toros Math Drills to learn more. Teachers, you can always

1455
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: use supplemental material no matter what level you are teaching.

1456
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: This is worth third and fourth graders. Toros Matrials presented

1457
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: by Concho Phillips. Now, Jimmy Morrissey knows all his math facts.

1458
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 1: He is extremely smart, he was fun and drews dozen.

1459
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: Let's hear how he does talking about the game. Here's

1460
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty and rookie center Jimmy Morrissey. This pregame interview

1461
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: is powered by Reliant. It's Drew Dorty here with center

1462
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Morrissey and Jimmy Is there such a thing as

1463
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: momentum coming off a win? And if so, how much

1464
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: do you guys have of it, and what's it been

1465
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: like this week? Definitely the thing as momentum, especially in

1466
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 1: the game of football. It's always good to come off

1467
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: a win and you know, you feel good about yourself everything,

1468
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,680
Speaker 1: just a better mood around the facility. But we still

1469
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 1: have a lot to clean up, no doubt. This has

1470
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: been an I imagine a whirlwin for you. Five weeks

1471
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 1: ago you were on the Las Vegas practice squad. You

1472
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 1: just started the last two games at center, they've both

1473
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 1: been on the roads. This is gonna be your first

1474
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 1: home game here at NRG Stadium. What's this last five weeks,

1475
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 1: six weeks's been like for you? It's been very chaotic,

1476
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: but it's everything you know, being on the practice squad

1477
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 1: with the Raiders, it's what I wanted. I wanted an

1478
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to play sure, and I said earlier in my

1479
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: press conference I had last week. It's been a dream

1480
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 1: come true. So I get the chance to play NFL

1481
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: football and actually have my hand on the ball in

1482
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: the NFL game and go out there and play. So

1483
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 1: it's been amazing. But it has been very chaotic and

1484
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: it's a lot of work, but I have a really

1485
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 1: good group surrounding me and a lot of people help

1486
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 1: me out. You do have a lot of help. What's

1487
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: been the biggest challenge for you thus far? The hardest

1488
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: part is really transferring the playbook over. You know, I

1489
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 1: still have the Raiders playbook in my mind and now

1490
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 1: it's you know, has to be Hey, now I'm running

1491
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: the Texans playbook, So just making sure I study enough

1492
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: and the playbook isn't really what I'm focusing on the huddle.

1493
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: It's more of the technique and what block I'm going

1494
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: to take opposed to who I'm going to block. Yeah,

1495
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,839
Speaker 1: And as a friendly reminder to those listening and watching

1496
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: this time a year ago, you were playing for the

1497
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 1: pitt Panthers. You were drafted in the seventh round by

1498
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. Training camp the preseason and you're

1499
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: on the practice squad and then the Texans snap you

1500
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: up in mid October. You come in and against the

1501
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,719
Speaker 1: Dolphins as a as an offense, not just the offensive line,

1502
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: but as an offense. You know, they get after the quarterback.

1503
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: Nine quarterback hits five sacks and then you guys flip

1504
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: the switch. One quarterback hit the entire day, no sacks

1505
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: for the first time in about a year. What was

1506
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: the difference? I think, especially this past weekend. It was

1507
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: nice because we had a lead, so that always changes

1508
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: the way you call all the playbook. Also the rating game,

1509
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: it's very hard to drop back and throw a lot.

1510
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: We had good communication up front. Still a lot to improve,

1511
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: especially on my part. I need to play a lot better,

1512
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: and did have good cohesiveness out there. Tyrod's been phenomenal

1513
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: back there. Yeah, you know, we just had a good

1514
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: game and lucky that our defense played amazing too. And

1515
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 1: as we were walking into this interview, Tyrode was coming

1516
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 1: out of another interview, said, Hey, slim Jimmy, So you know,

1517
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: you guys always have a nice rapport there. They call

1518
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: me slim Gym. Slim Gym. It's a good snap into

1519
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: a slim Gym for all you macho man Randy Savage

1520
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: fans out there. As you say you gotta play better,

1521
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: what are some things you got to do better? I mean,

1522
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: you're you're so you're still young in your NFL career.

1523
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot you can do better. I imagine what

1524
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: are some of the things you're trying to pinpoint hone

1525
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: and get better at. I've been leaning a lot. I

1526
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: gotta keep my head up. So that's really technique what

1527
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm focusing on. And then just processing faster earth the

1528
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage with this new playbook. And now, like

1529
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: you said five weeks coming on, this is gonna be

1530
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: my third start. Can't use that excuse anything. I mean,

1531
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: not that it was an excuse before. Now I'm going

1532
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: in my third game and like it's not Oh I'm new,

1533
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: I just got here. Like that's out the door, so

1534
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: it's time to start, you know, performing, Like I know,

1535
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 1: I can tell me about this Jets defensive front now

1536
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,719
Speaker 1: as a team, they're they're struggling too, But you can't

1537
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: really pin on those guys. That defense looks like they

1538
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 1: can do some things up up in the trenches, can't

1539
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: you know that that D line, especially those two interior guys,

1540
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,839
Speaker 1: four interior guys that they're rotated and they are very impressive,

1541
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 1: especially you know number ninety five and ninety four really

1542
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: are their starters. But when they rotate in ninety eight

1543
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: and ninety seven two they're phenomenal too. But yeah, there's

1544
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: their starting dtackles are really good, solid players and I'm

1545
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:04,680
Speaker 1: excited to play them all right, No, let's see how

1546
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: your powering game day? Do you have any superstitions getting

1547
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: ready before game? I did? They usually change like with

1548
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: every season. This year, I really don't have any superstition.

1549
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: I just take my little scoop of caffeine and my

1550
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: protein powder. But then other than that, I really do

1551
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: not have a game day suspicion. In the past, I

1552
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: used to always listen to the Jersey Boys soundtrack. Okay,

1553
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 1: how come I just I don't like getting all hyped

1554
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: up before the game. Oh, I do have a pregame tradition.

1555
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: I do mindfulness. So I have this like guided meditation

1556
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes on Spotify. It's like one of my

1557
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: few saved things on Spotify, no matter if ive WiFi

1558
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 1: or not. So I just sit in my locker and

1559
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: I practice mindfulness and then try to visualize the game.

1560
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: So like fifteen minutes of just doing nothing but breathing, fantastic.

1561
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:51,560
Speaker 1: What do you do in the night before when you

1562
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: go to bed? How long do you sleep when you

1563
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 1: get up? I try to go bed early, depending on

1564
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: when meetings get done. Bet checks usually at ten. I

1565
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: try to like as soon as betcheck's done, them right

1566
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: in bed and that's usually late for me because on

1567
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: weekdays I try to go to Bear on eight thirty

1568
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: nine o'clock, so and then I like to wake up early,

1569
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: take the first bus. I'd just like to be at

1570
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: the stadium for as long as I possibly can. You

1571
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: want to be prepared, Yeah, I like it. It's good

1572
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Morrissey. Best of luck against the Jets, Best of

1573
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: luck the rest of the way. Thanks so much, Happy

1574
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving as well as Thanksgiving this week. Okay, thanks for

1575
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: having me, Dree. I am truly optimistic that we're gonna

1576
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to see Jimmy Morrisey play a lot

1577
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: of football here for the Houston Texans to grow off

1578
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: these first two appearances. I mean, he's had to face

1579
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: ray Kuon Davis and Jeffrey Simmons nay Kuan Jones in

1580
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: his first two starts, and it doesn't get much easier

1581
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: because Quinnon Williams is coming. Foloo fought to Kassi. It

1582
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: doesn't get easier for Jimmy Morrisey. Now, one thing we

1583
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: will keep an eye on is the status of Justin

1584
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: britt We got the notice on Thanksgiving. I believe it

1585
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: was that he has been brought back to the fifty

1586
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 1: three man roster off of reserve. We saw him at

1587
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: practice today. That doesn't mean that Britt will start, doesn't

1588
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 1: mean he'll play, doesn't mean he'll be active. It just

1589
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: means that he is now in that twenty one day

1590
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 1: window for which the Texans will then have to make

1591
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: a decision. So we will see justin Britt's status. But

1592
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 1: I like what I've seen thus far from Jimmy Morrissey

1593
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: and any rookie that is coming to the party that

1594
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: is showing some promise. I want to see more of

1595
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: that particular player. Man. It'd be interesting to see Morrissey

1596
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: and Britt play together, maybe one at center, one at guard.

1597
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 1: But we'll see how the Texans figure it out and

1598
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: what they're going to do on Sunday against the New

1599
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 1: York Jets. A reminder pregame show nine to twelve, Sean

1600

Speaker 1: Drew Deepe, Mark myself, everybody in our content team will

01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: you covered all day long, all weekend long on the

1606
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and their matchup with the New York Jets.

1607
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great to be back home. Come on out,

1608

Speaker 1: have fun and enjoy this football team that has gotten

1609
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: better week by week and hopefully we'll put a w

1610
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: up on the board. And it's been a while. I

1611
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: did the math on this over the last three hundred

1612
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: and sixty nine days. That goes all the way back

1613
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 1: to a victory against the New England Patriots on November

1614
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: twenty second. So if you want to start November twenty

1615
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: third and go all the way till Sunday, that's three

1616
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:46,919
Speaker 1: hundred sixty nine days. Over that time span, the Texans

1617
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 1: have won one game at home, that was the opener

1618
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars. Let's go get number two and with

1619
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 1: your help on Sunday, I know these guys will show

1620
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: up and show out and get win number two. It'll

1621
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,080
Speaker 1: be two in a row. It'll be the second and

1622
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: at home. A lot of good things happen when you

1623
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 1: get in those seats and you are loud and you

1624
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 1: create that football feeling for these guys on Sunday. A
