00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: So it's Tuesday, it's players day off. You guys do

15
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff in the community, do a lot

16
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: of region rehab, whatever you're re ing. So how do

17
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: you usually spend Tuesday because it's an off day for

18
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: you technically, but there's really no off day during the season,

19
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: is there.

20
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 6: No, it's not typically start today off. Just take my

21
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 6: kids in school now on break right now, so I

22
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 6: didn't have to do that today. Just come in, get

23
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 6: some needles, do some red light therapy, get massage, just

24
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 6: to work out the kings from the game, and just

25
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 6: get ready for the week.

26
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 4: When you go through your rehab process. You talked about

27
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: red light.

28
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: The massage is more or contingent on how you feel

29
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: or regardless on Tuesday, this is your set plan.

30
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, this week the week sometimes your foot get stepped

31
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 6: on or you might take a different hit. So whatever

32
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 6: you're feel in for that week, just make sure you

33
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 6: can kind of configure your plan to fit that.

34
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: Now.

35
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: I know, you know, my last year was in two

36
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, so I'm an old man, so I

37
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: know massage, I know the needles, you know, but the

38
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 1: red light explain that to me, and some of them.

39
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 6: It's more on a cellular level, trying to kind of

40
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 6: facilitate healing from that standpoint. So you know, as we

41
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 6: go through life, we're influenced by lights, some like you know, sunset,

42
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 6: So that's kind of the idea behind it, in these

43
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 6: different forms of light to help heal the body from

44
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 6: inside out.

45
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: Well, this is interesting, all right.

46
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: And the needles, it's kind of acupuncture ish.

47
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's dry kneeling, the needles a little bigger. It's

48
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 6: a little bigger, so it's more of a a more

49
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 6: of a palpitation rather than acupuncture. Is like needle and

50
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 6: then you kind of rest and you know, sit there.

51
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: So does that hurt?

52
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: I actually had this done once, indeed, because I had

53
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: a foot problem playing basketball and Jeremy, one of the

54
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: guys in there, he said, we'll try the needle and

55
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not gonna look, and it does.

56
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 2: You know, it feels interesting like there's a needle in

57
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: your foot.

58
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: Okay, So you go through this a lot.

59
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really anything that happens like right away, it

60
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 6: helps alleviate it pretty fast, so you can kind of

61
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 6: sense like if it worked or not right away.

62
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Are they hitting the nerve or something and knocking it

63
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: out or not?

64
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 6: Really the nerve more more so the muscle. They try

65
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 6: to avoid the nerves, but you know, sometimes things happen,

66
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 6: so I.

67
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: Think it's a big distraction.

68
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: I got a needle in me, so I don't feel

69
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: the other thing anymore.

70
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: I'm feeling the needle definitely.

71
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: So a lot of guys like for me, you listen

72
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: to the older guys. Brian Dawkins, you know, he really

73
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: talked to me and taught me about cold tub hot

74
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: tub when you were first in the league. Was there

75
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: an older vet that you looked up to that kind

76
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: of talked about this rehab process we're not rehabbing.

77
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, more so when I got I got drafted by

78
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 6: Kansas City, So I follow it Bury around a lot,

79
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 6: just watching him. How he, you know, took care of

80
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 6: himself a lot of epsom, salt baths, a lot of sauna,

81
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 6: and like you said, a lot of hot and cold

82
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 6: tough therapy. He was religious with that stuff because he,

83
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 6: you know, he played a physical game, so he had

84
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 6: to take care of himself throughout the week, all right.

85
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: So, Eric, at this point of the year, and maybe

86
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: earlier in the year too, when you practice, is it

87
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: more mental or physical right now? Because you want to

88
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: maintain your body, maintain your energy for the game day.

89
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: But you got to learn the schemes and whatever else

90
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: you guys need to learn x's and those. Wise, how

91
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: does that go for your practice?

92
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 6: It's more it's a little bit of both, honestly. I

93
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 6: think in the beginning of the season, like you, like

94
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 6: you said, you're preparing, getting the body ready. But as

95
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 6: you begin to taper down, I want to keep the

96
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 6: mind as sharp as possible, but you want to keep

97
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 6: the body as fresh as possible too, So it's a

98
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 6: healthy balance.

99
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: When you talk to some of the younger guys, Obviously,

100
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: the ebbs and flows of a season ups and downs.

101
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure right now you know after the loss is

102
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: feeling down, like, what are some of the things that

103
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: you're telling the younger guy to keep the spirits up

104
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 1: and let him know the big picture, the ultimate goal

105
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: is still in reach.

106
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 6: You got to take a game by game still like

107
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: you know, at the top of our division and very

108
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 6: much control our destiny. So continue to come out and

109
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 6: put together consistent performances against our remaining schedule, and that's

110
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 6: that's all you can really do.

111
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: Is it a weird situation because we've only had this

112
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: maybe once, maybe twice, really only once in the history

113
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: of the franchise where you have this kind of cushion

114
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: and you have a two game lead, but you don't

115
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: want to see that evaporate either, do you guys think

116
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: about that kind of stuff. You know that you're that

117
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: you're in the lead, but you know the job's not

118
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: done yet.

119
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 6: I think just from what we've seen throughout throughout last week,

120
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 6: you just got to come out and play every Sunday.

121
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 6: It's you know, I think Kansas City what won by

122
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 6: three points against the Panthers, so's you know, you got

123
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 6: to come out there and play a best ball every Sunday,

124
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 6: and you never know, however somebody's feeling that day, how

125
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 6: they prepare it that week. It's the NFL, so you

126
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 6: got to come ready.

127
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 4: You know.

128
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: He's a good guy to ask. I'm going back a

129
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But I've always thought that the fans

130
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: buy into certain rivalries more so than the players. With

131
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: you not being from Texas and I'm going back a

132
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks for you, was the Dallas Cowboy game

133
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: just another game which is important? Or was there a

134
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: little added umph to it?

135
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 6: Like you said, I'm not from here, so I can

136
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 6: only get the sentiment I get from other people who

137
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 6: was born in Texas, you know. So I feel like

138
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 6: even if it's a lot of people who live in

139
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 6: Houston that might be Dallas fans, and then it might

140
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 6: be a smaller percentage of people who live in Dallas

141
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 6: who might be Houston fans. So I just tried to

142
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 6: catch the vibe from them to see, you know, how things.

143
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: Went okay, okay, because when I played in Philadelphia and

144
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I grew up in San Antonio, they hated Dallas. So

145
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, they're like, we don't care what happens, just

146
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: be the Cowboys, and part of me was like, I

147
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: just want to win every game, Like I don't care

148
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: that much who were playing. So I just did you

149
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: know you're from Wisconsin, right, Yeah, so guy from Wisconsin.

150
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: You know, I just want to get your film Cowboy week.

151
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: So coach Rymes was in here yesterday, Eric Eric Murray

152
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: joining us, and he talked about the team meeting, and

153
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: we talked about the twenty four hour rule, but he

154
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: said this week, I might let it sit a little

155
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: longer because that one really hurt. But you wanted to

156
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: kind of motivate you at the same time, How do

157
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: you see that? And how is the team meeting? What

158
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: can you tell the listeners about that?

159
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 6: Anyway, Like you said, the sentiments was it was an

160
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 6: embarrassing loss for us. I think we all as an

161
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 6: organization and as a whole, we have a high expectation

162
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 6: of what we want to accomplish this year. So you

163
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 6: just lay that out and be transparent about it, and

164
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 6: you know, look yourself in the mirror and find ways

165
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 6: to improve.

166
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm gonna question you on that because

167
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm of the belief it's tough to win in the

168
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: NFL every week, So why did you use the word embarrassing?

169
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 5: Uh?

170
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 6: I use that word mainly because of I think the

171
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 6: expectation we set for ourselves coming out in the season,

172
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 6: with the acquisitions that we had over the summer and

173
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 6: stuff like that, So we felt like our ceiling was

174
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 6: up here.

175
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 7: Right.

176
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: So I think.

177
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 6: As the season has progressed and some of the losses

178
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 6: we took, I think our outlook looks a little different

179
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 6: and it's just going forward. How do we continue to

180
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 6: get better and grow?

181
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: All right?

182
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: Good answer. I like that a lot.

183
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: Playing Jacksonville on Sunday and these guys, you're in the

184
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: division again.

185
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: You haven't been on the road in.

186
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: The division since opening day, and I don't know if

187
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: that's a big factor or not, but you're on natural

188
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: grass in the division. They're coming off a buy and

189
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna be hungry even though they don't have a

190
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: lot of victories. What do you see on Sunday? How

191
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: do you see this matchup?

192
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 5: Division games always tough.

193
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 6: Like I said, it's any given Sunday, and you always

194
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 6: got to prepare that week for that team. So Tennessee

195
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 6: got us last week. We moving on the Jags and

196
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 6: you know we're going to do our best prepared this

197
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 6: week and get it up.

198
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of preparation, you're a pros pro. I can just

199
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: tell obviously you don't last in along this long, last

200
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: in the league this long without being pros pro and

201
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: the way you take care of your body. But as

202
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: you prepare for this game, when you watch film at home,

203
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: like what do you watch? You watch the receiver's movements?

204
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: Do you watching formations? Like what do you look at?

205
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: Really?

206
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 6: I try to go look at other teams that duplicate

207
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 6: the same defense we have. So if they play the

208
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 6: Colts or something like that, we might have the same

209
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 6: front and then we might play the same coverages on

210
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 6: the back end. So just look at how they attack

211
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 6: those coverages, and I guess what that coordinator likes to

212
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 6: do against that certain tree of defense, do you?

213
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: So you look more big picture and not so much

214
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: individual receiving running back.

215
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 6: But I mean, at the end of the day, it's

216
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 6: like a coordinator. He has tendencies and what he likes

217
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 6: to do at the end of the day. So like

218
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: the people out there, yes they matter, but he gonna

219
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 6: call what he's gonna call in those crucial situations. So

220
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 6: if you privy to those situations. I think you can,

221
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 6: you know, make some hairl on those plays.

222
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 3: Eric Murray with us when you're on the road.

223
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: For you guys on the defensive side, the crowd has

224
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: to be quiet or should be quiet for their offense

225
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: so they can communicate. Does that help you guys communicating?

226
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: The way the crowd getting into a bit of a

227
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: hush while their offensive.

228
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 6: Oper definitely helps in communication. But you, I think you

229
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 6: still need that energy to feed on defense, so you

230
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 6: just have to bring it yourself. But communication will be

231
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 6: at an all time high, and we make some plays

232
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 6: so we'll get the energy up there too.

233
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: Because at home, you guys have signals and stuff like that,

234
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: because it does get loud while you're trying to communicate.

235
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 3: For sure.

236
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 6: So we just you know, do the best you can

237
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 6: and the crowd to help us out a little bit

238
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 6: in that regard.

239
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: All right, cool, I've got the Hot Takes brought to

240
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: you by Campbell's Trucky Soup soup that eats like a meal.

241
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: Be sure to pick up the new Nashville style hot

242
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: Chicken soup at Kroger today. All Right, never mind hot chicken,

243
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: I'm talking Thanksgiving here, all right, Eric and I know

244
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: that you guys have worked to do this week, but

245
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: what will you do about Thanksgiving?

246
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: Can you share with us what your plans might be.

247
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 6: I don't like Friday turkey on my own, so I

248
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 6: do like a big air fighter.

249
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 5: It's like a I.

250
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 6: Can't remember the name of the oven, but I try

251
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: to get a big air fire and I air fright

252
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 6: the whole turkey.

253
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: Wow, how long does that take to air fry the turkey?

254
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 5: It don't really take that long. Really take about like

255
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 5: two hours.

256
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 6: So I typically I'm in the garage, you know, in

257
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 6: the garage by myself, trying to do my best to

258
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 6: be an adult.

259
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, do you season it the night before?

260
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

261
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 6: I like dry Brian, and then I injected with some

262
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: what is it, Tony sack sack the honey creole butter.

263
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 5: So yeah, I just do that and cook at.

264
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: The next That sounds good.

265
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna come to your hands, just enjoy myself.

266
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: So that sounds good, all right, But if you had to,

267
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: and I've been throwing this question around, Nick Caserio, Demiko,

268
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: Ryan's everybody we're talking to this week, you have to

269
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: replace turkey with something else? What other main dish would

270
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: you serve, you're putting turkey on waivers and now you

271
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: need to replace turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner and Indy

272
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: I want your answer also, so go ahead there.

273
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 5: That's a hard one.

274
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 6: And you know what's funny, I really don't eat turkey

275
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 6: unless it's on things. See, so it's it's probably some

276
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: type of I mean, you just gotta go chicken. I

277
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 6: think that's the easier answer. Russian and have a little

278
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 6: bit more uh variability with seasonings and stuff like that.

279
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 3: Se Demico said, Ham, what do you saying?

280
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 4: Oxtail? Okay?

281
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: Really, now, I guess chicken because it's big, a different pieces,

282
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: so similar to a turkey, but the best better.

283
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: I gotta go oxtail.

284
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the main that's that's coming out of left field. Okay,

285
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: I like that. See that.

286
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: See I want a national campaign to replace turkey with brisket.

287
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: See I think if you serve brisket on Thanksgiving, everybody's

288
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: gonna get really excited.

289
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 6: Answer right there, Yeah, yeah, that's not Wisconsin.

290
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: Wisconsin would be pot roast something like that.

291
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: Maybe I've had the wrong brisket, but it just seems

292
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: dry to me.

293
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to the wrong places. Might Who do

294
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: we have in the stadium here? Truth, they're good and

295
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: there are many other good ones.

296
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, okay, real quick favorite side?

297

00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 6: and that's what that's.

300
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: My wait in Wisconsin. Do you call it dressing or stuffing?

301
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 6: Well, most of my family is from the South, so

302
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 6: oh yeah, that's right, call it dressing dressing.

303
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: See, I grew up in the North. I called stuffing.

00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,480

Speaker 1: Eric Murray in studio with Mark and myself, We're gonna

319
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: catch up with John Harris to talk all things Houston, Texans.

320
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: That's next here on Texans All Access. Welcome in Texans

321
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: All Access players. Addition, I am in dy Kalu. He

322
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: is Mark VanderMeer, the guy you see on the sideline

323
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: and you hear him throughout. John Harris joining us. All right, guys,

324
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: seven and five living record, still send a time. Yes,

325
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: but things don't feel good right now. I want to

326
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: get y'all's take.

327
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: Things don't feel good. Let's see you don't feel good

328
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: coming off the loss. I feel like there's still a

329
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: remarkable opportunity here because there is. Factually, there's a remarkable opportunity,

330
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: and they just got to get it right. I mean,

331
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: Demiko in the press conference yesterday, and I think too

332
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: many people this is a side note here on press conferences.

333
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: I get it, that's all you got.

334
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna pick apart everything he says, especially postgame. Come on,

335
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: this is not the State of the Union address, all right,

336
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: and I guess it is for the football team week

337
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: to week. But at the same time, he's not going

338
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: to tell you exactly what he's thinking, exactly what he's

339
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: telling the players, exactly what he's talking to with Bobby

340
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: slowick about he's not going to reveal all that stuff,

341
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: but he talks about some of the positive things they're doing.

342
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: And I know people don't want to hear.

343
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: That, but they're making some sensational plays. If they cut

344
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: the mistakes by twenty five percent or a third, my gosh,

345
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: what they could be. So they got to get it done.

346
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: I still think they have the chance to get it done,

347
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: don't they, He says rhetorically.

348
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't even know if it's rhetorically.

349
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 8: I mean, I think the question has to be asked

350
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 8: because because they're not finishing games.

351
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: Five interceptions against Detroit.

352
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 8: You lost eight sacks, a pick six, and two fumble

353
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 8: recoveries against the Titans and lost. So this team has

354
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 8: in some sense, sort of I don't know the right

355
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 8: way of saying, it lost its way in winning games

356
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 8: and finishing those games. Now, Green Bay one of the

357
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 8: better teams in the league. He lost on the last

358
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 8: second field goal, right Detroit Argua with the best team

359
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 8: in the league. He lost the last second field goal.

360
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 8: You went to New York, and that's the New York game.

361
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 8: Is the one that's kind of like the head turner,

362
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 8: Like I could if you would have said to me,

363
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 8: the Texans are going to lose to either Jets or Titans,

364
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 8: I would have thought probably the Titans.

365
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: Really, it's a division game. It's a weird game.

366
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 8: And I always go back to this and Indy, you

367
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 8: know this better than anybody. If you haven't, if you

368
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 8: have a weakness and the other team has a strength

369
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 8: at that particular weakness, it's gonna get exploited.

370
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: In this league, there's no doubt.

371
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 8: They've got Jeffrey Simmons and Devandre Sweat sitting over there,

372
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 8: and I don't even think it matters who's over there

373
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 8: on the Texas side. That's a massive figuratively and literally

374
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 8: advantage for the Titans. And that is what they are

375
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 8: able to take advantage of those two guys inside because

376
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 8: they shut down the run game completely and then the

377
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 8: quarterback ends up playing like the guy they thought they

378
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 8: were drafting. So I would have thought, yeah, Titans, I

379
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 8: could see it. It's the Jets game that bothers me.

380
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 8: It's still because it's like they had to come up

381
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 8: with two miracle catches too, one handed catches. It's Aaron Rodgers.

382
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 8: Look at the Jets. The Jets are a mess. But

383
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 8: we played them on a short week beat up after

384
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 8: the Colts game. No excuse, but you don't want the

385
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 8: digs injury at that point. I just think there's been

386
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 8: a there's a game every now and again where you

387
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 8: just go, Godly, you gotta shake your head, like, but

388
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 8: those games in which you have five interceptions and eight

389
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 8: sacks of pick six and two Folmbel recoveries and you

390
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 8: don't win either one at home, Like, something's bizarre world

391
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 8: in that now're trying to figure that out.

392
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: Do you all take any comfort? Because there's always this

393
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: thought like if if we're a Detroit fan, you're excited

394
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: about what Detroit is doing, but then you're wondering, are

395
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: we peek into early? You know, if you're a Baltimore fan,

396
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: you might be saying the same thing. Is there any comfort,

397
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not suggesting there should be that you have

398
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: confidence that they fixed the issues, but they're still going

399
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: to be in a place where they're going to the playoffs,

400
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: they're going to win the division, and by the time

401
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: they get into the playoffs, they're gonna be hitting on

402
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: all cylinders.

403
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: They got to fix the issues first, though, I mean

404
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: they will, well, we all agree there's a lot of

405
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: room for improvement, and there's some time, not a ton,

406
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: but some time for improvement. The question is will there

407
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: be improvement, and that's what they have to prove in

408
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 2: these final five games in the regular season that they

409
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: will be better.

410
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: I think we brought this up with Eric a little bit.

411
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: I think that it's.

412
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: A weird time in this franchise's history where you have

413
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: this lead in the division, you haven't clinched yet. You

414
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: really weren't even going into the Tennessee game. A better seed,

415
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: like a two seed, was still very far off. It

416
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: felt right, not impossible, but far off. And then you

417
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 2: feel like, well, we're not gonna blow the division, are we.

418
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: It's a weird dynamic.

419
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: I almost wish and this is the first time I'm

420
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: saying this on the year because I talked about this

421
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: with Johnny before. I almost wish the Colts were winning

422
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: because to put a little more pressure, maybe that would

423
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: sharpen the edge a little bit.

424
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 3: I don't know.

425
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: That's just a theory I have, and I could be

426
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: totally wrong, but I feel that way.

427
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 3: That's just one of the thoughts I've been having.

428
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: I get feeling that way. But here's where you know,

429
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: I differ from that thought. You know, you're saying that

430
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: you wish Indianapolis or any AFC South team was winning

431
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: more but was threatening. Yeah, but as players, and I

432
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: could be wrong, As players, you're not really looking at

433
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: the standings really, so in my opinion, the players are

434
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: from my experiences say the players aren't looking at the

435
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: standing saying, you know what, we have a two game lead.

436
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: If we win, we win. If we don't, we don't.

437
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: And I know you weren't simple that point, but I

438
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: don't even think that enters the mind. Really, that's more us,

439
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: you know, media fans on the outside looking in.

440
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 8: So I think I think the best game I say

441
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 8: in air quotes, the best game the Texans have played

442
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 8: this year. The first half against the Buffalo Bills, the

443
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 8: first half against the Detroit Lions.

444
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: Right now, what do those two opponents have in common?

445
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: They're really good. They're really freaking good.

446
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: YEA.

447
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 8: Now in the second half, you could, you know, against

448
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 8: the Lions, you could argue, man, CJ just hit tank

449
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 8: for that. It's thirty to thirteen, over knows how it

450
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 8: opens up. I think that with this team kind of

451
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 8: to your point, D, I feel like this team sees

452
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 8: the Lions, or sees the Bills, or sees the Chiefs,

453
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 8: and it's like strap them up, boys, let's go. And

454
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 8: there's that. You know, we know we're in that category.

455
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 8: Now we're going to go show it. I don't know

456
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 8: that in those games that they knew exactly how to

457
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 8: finish it because they got such big leads and it

458
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 8: was like do we keep attacking and how do we

459
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 8: go about this? It's if they can make adjustments in

460
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 8: the second half such that and I'm not talking about

461
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 8: exton nose adjustments. I'm just talking about mindset adjustments of

462
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 8: we got to go put two touchdowns on a board

463
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 8: and second half we can't get to a point where

464
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 8: since Week six, how about this? Since week six second

465
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 8: half touchdowns for the Texans one Derek Barnett won, Jimmy

466
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 8: Ward won, and the Texans offense one.

467
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say one offensive touchdown.

468
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 8: If we can get to a point where we're executing

469
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 8: better in the second half, I think in those games

470
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 8: when we do play those teams and we have those

471
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 8: opportunities to play the Chiefs and the Ravens and then

472
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 8: playoff games, if they come to be I think this

473
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 8: team will show up that much more. I just kind

474
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 8: of feel like that's that's this team. The thing about

475
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 8: it is, I think to be able to win it all,

476
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 8: you obviously have to beat those teams. And so having

477
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 8: a two game margin I think is good because it

478
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 8: does allow that, all right, well we just stepped all

479
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 8: over ourselves against the Titans, but it does take out

480
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 8: any opportunity more and more than likely if you're thinking

481
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 8: down the road about a seating where you're gonna play

482
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 8: that playoff game at home and then have to go

483
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 8: on the road in the second round, So you're really

484
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 8: gonna have to put that to the test because you're

485
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 8: gonna have to play the Bills, the Chiefs, the Ravens, the.

486
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: Steelers on the road.

487
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 8: Are you then going to have that same mentality like

488
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 8: that you've had against the Bills and Alliance, like we

489
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 8: know we're in this class, we know we're this good,

490
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 8: but can you do it for sixty minutes? And so

491
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 8: I feel like it's one of Jacksonville is going to

492
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 8: test that because it's Jacksonville. It's a place you haven't

493
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 8: lost since twenty seventeen. Yet they've got enough athletes and

494
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 8: enough players especially if Trevor plays to make it difficult

495
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 8: and it's down in their place, and so it's a

496
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 8: weird place to play in a sense that you know,

497
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 8: you kind of have to bring your own energy to

498
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 8: their building. But if they start getting in the game,

499
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 8: those fans can be all over you and it can

500
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 8: be kind of tough. So I don't know, it's it's

501
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 8: tough Indy because I feel like I feel I want

502
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 8: to say, I want to believe.

503
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 3: That last week was the wake up call.

504
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 8: I want to believe that I want to believe last

505
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 8: week was the wake up call. You can't just roll

506
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 8: your helmet out there and expect the teams to lay

507
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 8: down for you, because they're not going to. So if

508
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 8: you want to finish the season with something, then it

509
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 8: starts in Jacksonville. You get a bye week, and then

510
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 8: you can finish the last four games the way you want.

511
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 8: To your point, it's man Mark said this, when's the

512
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 8: test due? When's the test due? Because if I know

513
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 8: when the test is, I can study the night before

514
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 8: the test. I'll be good. We all did that. We're

515
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 8: all smart people. We all studied the night before the test.

516
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 8: We were fine, But we knew when the test was,

517
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 8: when's the test for this team? What is the test

518
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 8: for this team? Is it going to Jacksonville and playing well?

519
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 8: Is it Miami at home against the hot Tua? Is

520
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 8: it on the road to Kansas City? Are those all

521
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 8: tests now for the rest of the year. So I

522
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 8: think that's that's the question. It didn't feel like Sunday

523
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 8: against Tennessee was a test, and maybe we weren't totally

524
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 8: ready all tests, So I know, I know it should

525
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 8: be that way, but it should be, but human nature

526
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 8: tells it. Did you feel like going in walking in

527
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 8: that building, either one of y'all on Sunday that you

528
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 8: were like, yeah, the Titans have got a chance. I mean,

529
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 8: we felt like they had a chance. But did you

530
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 8: honestly feel like they're gonna beat this?

531
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 3: No? No, you didn't. You kind of felt like, all right.

532
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: I thought the Texans would take care of business. I

533
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 2: learned a long time ago that my feelings have no

534
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: bearings right on the thing. So people ask me, how

535
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: do you feel? Are you kidding? What are my feelings

536
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: have to do with how they're going to play today?

537
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: You know? And that's the thing.

538
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: Dan Riley, he was around when you were playing right,

539
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: Dan Riley told me a long time ago, and the

540
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 2: any given Sunday thing is so true, because anybody can

541
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: rise up and play great on a particular afternoon. We'll

542
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 2: see how the Titans do down the stretch here. Levis

543
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: made some really good throws. Obviously, they ran the ball well,

544
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 2: they played well enough on defense up the middle, whatever,

545
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: and they got the job done. But what about that

546
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: d How are the players feeling right now? Because you

547
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: talk about, oh, they don't notice the standings that much,

548
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: but they notice the losses, and they've lost four of

549
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: six and they can't be feeling that great. But they

550
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 2: have to find a way to feel really great and

551
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 2: up going to Jacksonville.

552
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to repeat myself, but the feeling after

553
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: a loss when you're a good team is this hurry

554
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: up and get on the field, just so I could

555
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: get that takes out of my mouth. So that's something

556
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: that I believe they're feeling. I think they're chomping at

557
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: the bit. You know, obviously they want to enjoy things,

558
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: but they want to get on that plane. They want

559
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: to get to Jacksonville, and they just want to taste

560
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: victory more so than they want to taste that turkey

561
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: because when you lose a game that you're expected to win,

562
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: that you feel like you should win that game. And

563
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: most NFL players go into every game feeling like they

564
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: should win, no matter how ridiculous it may sound. Carolina like,

565
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: let's look at the big picture. If anybody would have said,

566
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: or if any Carolina player would have come out publicly

567
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: and said, we expect to be Kansas City, most of

568
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all are football people, so y'all respect it,

569
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: but most people are like, they're stupid, but then watch

570
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: the game like they almost did it. So my point

571
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: is every single NFL player goes into a game expecting

572
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: to win. But after a loss like that, and Eric

573
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: Murray even mentioned it. He didn't disrespect the Titans, but

574
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: you know he mentioned without saying verbay and we're a

575
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: better team, we should have won that game. That's when

576
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: you really want to just get that bad taste out

577
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: of your mouth. And as far as the Test, I

578
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: think that's awesome. The analogy. I don't know if the

579
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: test is an actual team like Miami Kansas City. I

580
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: think the the test is can you score in the

581
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: second half, because if you want to pass the final exam.

582
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: If you want to pass the midterm, it's not even

583
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: about who's in front of you. It's about fixing what

584
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: you're doing in the second half. And it's an interesting

585
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: problem because is it play calling, is it player mentality?

586
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: Is it preparation during the week, And I'm sure the

587
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: answer is a little bit of all the above. But

588
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: that's an interesting if I'm the coaching staff, if I'm Demko,

589
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: like I'm getting the whole crew, the entire staff, at

590
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: the table and be like, hey, what's like, what can

591
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: we do to make sure the success we've had in

592
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: the first half we have in the second half, because

593
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: it's not even just about maintaining the lead. There's gonna

594
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: be times in the playoff where you have to get

595
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: the lead in the second half, so you really have

596
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: to be explosive. So that would be I would love

597
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: to be a fly on the wall in that meeting

598
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: of the minds with the coaches, even if I'm Demiko.

599
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: If I'm Demiko, I'm even meeting with my defensive coaches

600
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, is there something we should be doing

601
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: during the with our scout team to, you know, to

602
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: make sure that in the second half where we're as

603
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: productive as we've been in the first half.

604
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 8: You brought up something and d at some point, oh, oh,

605
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 8: I know we were talking with Miko. I want to

606
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 8: ask you this, And I asked him because that loss

607
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 8: wasn't sitting well with me, I could imagine it was

608
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 8: sitting well with him. And I got a pretty good

609
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 8: read on him because I'm the last person that talks

610
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 8: to him on Sunday, getting my postgame interview with him,

611
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 8: I get a pretty good read on how he's.

612
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: Kind of feeling about things.

613
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 8: And I knew when he walked out of that room

614
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 8: he was feeling a lot like I was. And so

615
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 8: I asked him about the whole you know, twenty four

616
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 8: hour rule, you know, and you know, I said it

617
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 8: feel I said, how hard is that to really apply

618
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 8: to yourself? The twenty four hour rule? And I was like,

619
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 8: can you really apply that? And this was, you know, Monday.

620
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 8: I can't remember what time we were talking to him,

621
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 8: probably like three in the afternoon, so it was about

622
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 8: twenty four hours. Said I don't want to forget. He goes,

623
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 8: I want to remind these guys all throughout the week

624
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 8: of what happened. And I was like, interesting. Okay, go

625
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 8: with that thought. I wanted to kind of see where

626
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 8: he was going with that, But his basic premise was,

627
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 8: I want these players to be reminded of what happens

628
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 8: if you don't if you're not in the details, if

629
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 8: you're not in your in your playbook, if you're not

630
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 8: doing the things and paying attention and just having an

631
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 8: overall swarm mentality. Did you ever have that a situation,

632
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 8: Indy where a coach there was a loss and a

633
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 8: coach just kept holding that over your head the following

634
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 8: week or the following weeks because maybe you did something

635
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 8: wrong in practice and you're like, man, you did that

636
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 8: wrong against Dallas and they beat you, and now you

637
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 8: got to face you know, the Texans and they're gonna

638
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 8: beat you. Do you have coaches that would hold that,

639
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 8: They wouldn't let it go.

640
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: They just kept holding that loss over your head.

641
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: The bad ones, you know, in that way where they

642
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: keep bringing like a you know, like a wife that

643
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: brings up something you did wrong seven years ago, so

644
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: they hold on to that. Yeah, And you also have

645
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: to get a feel because it's not even a bad

646
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: technique to bring it up. If your players are reading

647
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: the press clippings and they think they're better than they are.

648
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: And I've also had coaches where we had a horrible

649
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: game and we didn't even watch film on that game

650
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: and memory, yeah, and that's something that very rarely happens.

651
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: Like in the NFL, you watch every single game. I mean,

652
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: keep in mind, this is the league where you watch

653
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: every snap at practice. So in a game, good or bad,

654
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna watch every snap. But I've had I remember,

655
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: it only happened a couple of times in twelve years,

656
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: and I think both times with Jim Johnson May Soul

657
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: Rest in peace, our defensive coordinator with the philw Eagles,

658
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: And I remember the one time he walked into the

659
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: defensive meeting room said that wasn't us. We're not even

660
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: gonna watch it, and we just moved forward to the

661
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: next Wow, and I think I had a bad game.

662
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: I was like, who, thank god. I remember thinking like,

663
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you know we're not gonna watch that as

664
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: a team, because there's nothing worse than watching a bad

665
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: play in front of all your brethren, you know, a

666
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: bad play that you made. But obviously I wasn't the

667
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: only one. So but the problem with this team you know,

668
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: fast forward twenty twenty four, Houston Texans. There's been multiple,

669
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, performances. So I don't know if you do

670
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: watch it as a team and you you focus on

671
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: the little things, or if you just say, you know what, let's.

672
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 4: Move on to Jackson.

673
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: Well, they've already watched some of it. Yeah, it's too late.

674
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: It's too late to change Tomiko's mind on anything for

675
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: a while.

676
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 8: Apparently, I think he said fifty to sixty plays, and

677
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 8: knowing the way that coaches with the coaching clicker, fifty

678
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 8: sixty plays could have probably taken a couple hours.

679
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 4: It's not more.

680
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: Look look if this guy does this, Look this is

681
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: a touchdown, or this is a prevented touchdown, or whatever

682
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: the case.

683
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 4: Every play is more than one.

684
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: When Chigg the tight end for the Tennessee Titans, scored

685
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: on that seventy yard trust me, that wasn't one guy.

686
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: So you're watching that play and you're probably watching six

687
00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: or seven mistakes.

688
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 3: I think that three les exactly. I went back twenty times.

689
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: I think that play blew his mind in a bad way.

690
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: This is just a theory more than any other play

691
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: in the game. The fact that you have a four

692
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: point lead. You'd rather have more, but you have a

693
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: four point lead. You're kicking off to them, make a stop,

694
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: get it back. Let's try to get out of the game, right.

695
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: It's been a bad afternoon. We've got the lead. Let's

696
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: not let go of the lead. You lose the lead

697
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: in one play. It's not like they meticulously drove down

698
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: the field and got it in the end zone one play.

699
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: I think that really burned him to see it go

700
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: like that and then all of a sudden you're up

701
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: against it again.

702
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: It's funny, said that Mark. That's exactly that was my

703
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: thought process before the touchdown. I was like, you know what,

704
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: this has been a quote unquote ugly game. They score

705
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: their ahead. Now they're just gonna get a three and

706
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: out and we're gonna win the game. Then we scored

707
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Chicka quote quote the tight end, who's not

708
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: even that fast? And I was that before you You

709
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: literally just expressed my thoughts before he scored that touchdown,

710
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: And when he scored, I was like, Wow, make him.

711
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: Work for it, because you're getting after Levis all day.

712
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: You're getting after him, You're making life tough for him.

713
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: You've gotten one turnover already from him, and there could

714
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: be more, but you limit your opportunities obviously by allowing

715
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: one play of seventy yards and they score.

716
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: So that's it.

717
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 8: And the thing about it is they allow that play

718
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 8: and it's so easy.

719
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: Nobody, I mean really nobody touched him.

720
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: I mean basically they could have gotten him down and

721
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 2: then re lo.

722
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 8: I mean he's wide open. First of all, okay, blew

723
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 8: the coverage gonna make to stop. Then you don't do that,

724
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 8: then nobody can catch him. So it's like everything that's wait,

725
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 8: he's gonna I'm watching from the other angle. It's obviously

726
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 8: running towards your side, Mark, where we call the games from,

727
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 8: and I see him.

728
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, I guess somebody a game. Somebody's gonna stop. No.

729
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: Mark keeps saying he's running, he's running. It was like

730
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: a bad dream. It was. It was like one gun

731
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 3: get to him, you know.

732
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 8: Just now the defense's gonna have to all right, listen,

733
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 8: explosives all year defensively have been an issue, and they've

734
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 8: got to They've got to prevent those things.

735
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: Things got to stay in front.

736
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 8: Guy's gotta tackle better, I mean to Miko's talked about

737
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 8: that a lot, but it's really got.

738
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: To come to the forefront this weekend.

739
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: But Andy, what about Okay, you have that play we

740
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 2: talked about, and you had a tremendous special teams play

741
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: out of Damian Pierce to open the game, and you

742
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 2: have Kimi Fairbarn who's a great kicker, but he misses

743
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 2: twenty eight yarder. You also had, oh I forgot to

744
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: cover up the ball in the end zone. Oh my gosh,

745
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: and you know that occurred, and then you had a

746
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: bobble and you just had weird stuff happening throughout the

747
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: afternoon that is so preventable. And again it you know,

748
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: I get it, people make mistakes, human element, all of that,

749
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: but you gotta be tighter than that.

750
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, false start. I'm upset with that. I

751
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: want to get tighter. As you mentioned, when it's covering

752
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: up the ball in the end zone. You know that's

753
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: something you're like, come on, guys, we're in the pros.

754
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Let's fix that. Believe it or not. Commie Ferburn missing

755
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: that field goal, I was like, that's that. That's an outlier.

756
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: Like that didn't even bother me. I mean, he made

757
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: a fifty four yarder and he's been awesome all Like.

758
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: To me, that was like, damn game time one.

759
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: No, I get what you're saying, and I'm not giving

760
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: him a pass because I like him, which is saying

761
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: a lot.

762
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 3: That wasn't the reason you'll lost that way.

763
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: And that's not going to happen. You know that's not

764
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: going to happen frequently. I was like, Oh, that's that

765
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: was a freak of nature. So it But it's the

766
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: mental mistakes, leaving a receiver a tight end wide open,

767
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: the multiple false starts.

768
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: Those.

769
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: Touchdown Yeah, that's.

770
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Those are the ones that those are the ones that

771
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: are really tough to accept, and those are ones you

772
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: better watch multiple times in front of the whole team

773
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: to not to shame the guys, but to shame the

774
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: guys because you don't want that to happen. But no

789
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 8: Yea.

790
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 9: Went to the Midwest. I was born in the Midwest.

791
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 10: What's like the differences with those that's like, I feel

792
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 10: like that's like polar opposites for especially weatherwise.

793
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely weather. Yeah. Food, food is different.

794
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 11: I'm saying some good food down south with Alabama, but

795
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 11: they're big on like it's the base so they with

796
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 11: the golf, so they big on seafood. And Midwest you

797
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 11: kind of got a bunch of different foods. You got

798
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 11: a big, big, big Italian group out there, so Italian

799
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 11: food you got. Partillo is one of my favorite restaurants.

800
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 9: That cheese, fries.

801
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, good dairy products because of Wisconsin got all them

802
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 11: dairy farms and it's the culture out there. I like both,

803
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 11: but not gonna lie. Chicago's up there with Houston with

804
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 11: the food for sure.

805
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 7: No, I'm not gonna lie.

806
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 9: Bro.

807
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 10: I always say this and obviously I'm from here, Do

808
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 10: not cancel me. And then this, but I think that

809
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 10: Chicago has the best food in the country, just because,

810
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 10: like Houston, you come here for a certain reason, right,

811
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 10: It's a lot of Cajun food, Like, especially after contrining

812
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 10: everything happened, we got this whole influx of people from

813
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 10: Louisiana that really influenced all our seasons and all our

814
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 10: sauces and all that type of stuff, And we.

815
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 7: Have amazing food. I definitely think we number two.

816
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 10: But you go to Chicago and they're just so good

817
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 10: at everything, you know what I'm saying, Like they got

818
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 10: jerk egg rolls, they have an Italian food, deep this pizza,

819
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 10: all this type of crazy. I just think Chicago's they

820
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 10: might have a little edge when it comes to like

821
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 10: expertise when it comes to but you can't go wrong

822
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 10: with either one, you know what I'm saying.

823
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 9: I agree with you. Yeah, I say that.

824
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 11: I tell people that all exactly gonna want Houston too,

825
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 11: So it's right there and there's nothing wrong with picking

826
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 11: either one.

827
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 7: So Jimmy, bro, you got here last year.

828
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 10: Last year was the first season with the Texans, right

829
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 10: after spending a lot of time with the Niners. How's

830
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 10: it been just you know, just the whole adjustment coming

831
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 10: to a new city, new new squad and you was

832
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 10: already in captain like already last year, right, So.

833
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was that was different, Oh captain thing. I

834
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 11: was like, I was like, all right, what like respect?

835
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 10: Just somebody outside looking at what other like responsibilities as

836
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 10: I have. Obviously on the field, you have certain obligations

837
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 10: and responsibilities with that see on your jersey, but just

838
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 10: off the field, like, does that come with a whole

839
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 10: different like energy of like responsibility to take care of what.

840
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 11: I would say, I say, I would say it doesn't.

841
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 11: But then again, I feel like it's it's a big responsibility.

842
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 11: A lot of younger players looking up to you, watching

843
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 11: you all the time. So and I just feel like

844
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 11: the way of how I go about my things and

845
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 11: go about my work, I feel like I feel like

846
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 11: I'm a natural natural happening. So I just kind of do,

847
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 11: like try to do the right stuff. Basically, if I'm

848
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 11: answering your question for.

849
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 10: Not literally and and what you was at where you

850
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 10: was at San Francisco, the Miko was there?

851
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 8: Right?

852
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 4: What you were there?

853
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, Miko was there? Yeah, I think Miko was.

854
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 11: At first he was a position coach, and then he

855
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 11: ended up getting to DC and I watched him end

856
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 11: up getting.

857
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 9: A head job.

858
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 10: And you've been killing it ever since. Man, everybody seems

859
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 10: like they loved the Migo around here. We gotta get

860
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 10: him on the show one time.

861
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, you gotta get me.

862
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 10: I was watching him while I was growing up watching Texas,

863
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 10: I was watching Miko, So we got to definitely gotta

864
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 10: have them on the show. But so when it comes

865
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 10: to all these adjustments and all that, uh, you know,

866
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 10: playing for different teams, different coaches, especially at dB, you

867
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 10: might switch around a lot. When it comes to you

868
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 10: might play corner back, you might play free, safty, strong, safety.

869
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 7: You have a pressmen, when it.

870
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 10: Comes to which one, which one do you think you

871
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 10: excel at the most, and which one is the most fun?

872
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 11: Oh man, I would say I wanted to play safety

873
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 11: when I first got there. I didn't really know how

874
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 11: to play corner, but somehow I want the job. So

875
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 11: corner was the most It was the biggest challenge for me,

876
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 11: but that helped me overall game at safety. And when

877
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 11: they put me a nickel, and which is I played

878
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 11: nickel on college safety nick at college.

879
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 9: So really the the funnest position is nickel.

880
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 11: If they use you right, I would say yeah, because

881
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 11: you get the blitz you get, you get man coverage,

882
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 11: you get zone coverage, and it's really really like you're

883
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 11: like a hybrid linebacker.

884
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: We continue with Jimmy Ward and Chase b on the

885
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:28,799

Speaker 10: Let me ask you or interception interception? Yeah, it's not

887
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 10: even close.

888
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:39,040

889
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,640

890
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 12: and you get a tackle and you get a force

891
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 12: and you pick it up and score.

892
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,640

Speaker 9: I got, I got, I got, I gotta. I might

898
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 9: have a dancer too.

899
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 11: I don't got I can't think of nothing coming. Man,

900
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 11: it might happen, bro, I'm gonna do something for sure.

901
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 11: What's the this last question about football and just per

902
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 11: se right now?

903
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 10: What do you think like is the overall kind of

904
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 10: like the tone of the defense right now? I feel

905
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 10: like just even watching the Textans for the last couple years,

906
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 10: I feel like the tone is just switched. Especially in

907
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 10: the playoffs last year, I was just kind of looking

908
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 10: like all these they they it's aggressive. It's like a

909
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 10: real it's a unit now. One before it kind of

910
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 10: felt like individual players. Now it feels like it's a

911
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 10: whole force of Like the Texans play very aggressive, very

912
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 10: on the ball defense. So have you seen have you

913
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 10: noticed like the switch and the energy?

914
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely physicality and you know, having a group of

915
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 11: guys back with a majority of the group of guys

916
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 11: back for this second year, so you know, guys out

917
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 11: there playing fast and we know where to be and

918
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 11: then we're playing off each other. We added a few

919
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 11: guys off a free agency in the draft, but you

920
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 11: know it's it's follows suits. So when you got younger

921
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 11: guys or guys just coming from different teams, you know,

922
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 11: they watching the guys that been here and it's easy. Okay,

923
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 11: this is how he goes about it, this is this

924
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 11: is what he sees, and this what he does. So

925
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 11: it's just like plug in and play and our twos

926
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 11: and threes is just as good as the ones coming

927
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 11: in hot.

928
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 10: For real, suiciding football bro. I noticed they sent me

929
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 10: a note man that you actually wrote. I read a

930
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 10: little bit of it too, but you actually wrote nutrition book.

931
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

932
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 4: What year was that?

933
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 11: It's like three years ago. I started on it like

934
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 11: three years ago and it's out is publishing there. Yeah, yeah,

935
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 11: what made you want to do that? Just because I

936
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 11: didn't know how to eat and what to eat when

937
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 11: I was young, right for real?

938
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 9: And I used to always try to gain Yeah.

939
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 11: So yeah, I used to try to gain weight, and

940
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 11: because I was trying to get offers and stuff, and

941
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 11: it's like I need to put on weight really that

942
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 11: I feel like your weight doesn't have to do anything

943
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 11: with it, Like you're fifteen sixteen, the weight gonna come.

944
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 11: But it's about being strong. But besides that, so I

945
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 11: just wanted to teach kids. Uh, we just teach kids

946
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 11: what I learned as I got older, because I didn't

947
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 11: learn how to eat and what to eat, and I

948
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 11: started training for a combine and then I didn't get sleep.

949
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 11: Talking on the phone to the girls, I probably get

950
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 11: a protein shake and pit water and it really couldn't

951
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 11: afford a bunch of milk, and just knowing like how

952
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 11: to eat like lean grill food or lean meat, not

953
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 11: too much red meat, chicken fish, a bunch of rice,

954
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 11: and a bunch of fruits and vegetables organic if you know,

955
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 11: that'd be the best type of type of vegeon.

956
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 9: Fruit, more fresh.

957
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 10: And so I just try to share that with the kids,

958
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 10: not supporting man, especially now with all these you know,

959
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 10: you know a lot of ether having like heart problems

960
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 10: and heart conditions that they don't even know where these

961
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 10: things are coming from. It's just, you know, it literally

962
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 10: isn't what they eat. And if you could prevent it,

963
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 10: you know, that would be a very important thing. And

964
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 10: with adults as well. So I wanted to ask you

965
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 10: if you could, because the book is called The Nutritional

966
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 10: Abcs for Active Kids, if you had an adults version

967
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 10: of this book, what would you think adults need to know?

968
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,959
Speaker 10: What to come of the certain abcs of nutrition.

969
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 11: How to sleep, how much to eat right, don't starve

970
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 11: yourself like people thinking starving theirself is a proper way

971
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 11: to losing weight.

972
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 9: Now you still gotta eat. You just need to.

973
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 11: Up your veggies and up your fruit to just eat

974
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 11: clean and then just let's let's meet. Let's like yo,

975
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 11: I think the protein that you sussed to eat is

976
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 11: supposed it's supposed.

977
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 9: To be like the palm of your hand.

978
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 11: And wise, yeah, portion wise and grains too, less grains

979
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 11: and you're trying to gain or wait, you just gotta

980
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 11: eat more grains, more protein, more grains. So and about

981
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 11: sleep and then recovery too, like when you're working out.

982
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 11: You know a lot of people were trying to, you know,

983
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 11: kill theyself in a workout, but you know you're eating off.

984
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,880
