00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: of people see it here that way, and a lot

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: of the cuts are broken down at Sports Radio six ten.

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: But I know a lot of people don't get to

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,600

00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: So here it is Nick Cassario with me and Mark

24
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,759

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: Wednesday, joining us right now.

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: Executive vice president and general manager Nick Cassario. Nick, congratulations

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: on winning the division. I know we have a lot

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: of football to talk about, but Macro, this is a

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: big deal.

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: Back to back. I know it's not the ultimate goal,

31
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: but it's a big one.

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

33
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 5: Sure, It's a great accomplishment for the organization, great accomplishment

34
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 5: for the players and the coaches. Everybody's put a lot

35
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 5: of work and time and effort to get to this point.

36
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 5: So the best thing about it is we've given ourselves

37
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 5: an opportunity here to continue to playing once a regular

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 5: season is over. So that's all you can really ask for.

39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 5: We've talked about on the show the importance of December

40
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 5: football at least being in a position to at least

41
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 5: have an opportunity to continue playing, and we're we're fortunately

42
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 5: in that position. So it's always good to win. Anytime

43
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 5: you have an opportunity to win a division and kind

44
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 5: of cleinch it at home certainly carries a little bit

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 5: more weight.

46
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 6: So certainly excited.

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 5: I know the players are excited about the opportunity in

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: front of us, but we still have three games to

49
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 5: go here, so hopefully we can play good football and

50
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: kind of finish this out the right way.

51
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna move a little bit closer to Mark when.

52
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: I asked this question, uh oh, the next three weeks, Like,

53
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: have you guys talked about how you handle it?

54
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: How do you go about it?

55
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: You kind of talked about because obviously this is a

56
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: tricky one between the game on Saturday, game on Wednesday

57
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: and then Titan have you kind of talked about that, Hey,

58
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: we got the division?

59
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: You thought about that or talked about that or looked ahead. Yeah.

60
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 5: I think the big thing is just focusing on Kansas

61
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 5: City and then just figuring out what we have to

62
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 5: do to get ourselves ready to play. We'll go through

63
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 5: the injury evaluation, who's available, who's not available, but ultimately

64
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: it's about being ready to go against Kansas City on

65
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 5: a road against good football team who there's an opportunity

66
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 5: we could potentially see them again here at some point.

67
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: So I think the focus is just on this game.

68
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 5: What we got to do. We lose a game a

69
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 5: day here with a short week leaving Friday for the

70
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 5: game on Saturday. So I think we're kind of one

71
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: day at a time, one game at a time, keep

72
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 5: the focus on Kansas City, which is where it should be.

73
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the defensive performance against the Dolphins. We

74
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: sat here last week talking about all their speed, the

75
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: screen passes, the eye candy, whatever you want to call it,

76
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: and the defense handled it so well.

77
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, we did a great job, played really disciplined.

78
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: I think the one thing that stood out, aside from

79
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 5: the takeaways yesterday, it was just the tackling and limiting

80
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: the space. So there was a number of examples of

81
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 5: if you had to set the perimeter of the defense,

82
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 5: force the ball back inside to the cavalry, and we

83
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 5: talk about those guys running to the football, swarm into

84
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 5: the football, running out of the stack, and there were

85
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: multiple examples. When you stopped the film, you had five

86
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 5: or six jerseys in the pictures. So we talked about

87
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 5: that before the game, that's what it was going to take,

88
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 5: and we saw multiple examples of that. And anytime you

89
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: play a team like that that plays in space where

90
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 5: if you're not if you don't get him down, you

91
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 5: got to make sure that you have second and third level,

92
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 5: and the players did a really good job of that.

93
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: So it's probably one of the things that outside of

94
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: the takeaways, that really stood out with the game.

95
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: I think one of my favorites, Nick was when Malik

96
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Washington caught a screen and it looked like he was

97
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: starting to break it out of there and Tommy Togi

98
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I recognized it and started sprinting down field. And I'm

99
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: not sure Kaylan would have made a tackle, but Tommy

100
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: ends up making a tackle. It's a ten yard game,

101
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: but that he slips that tackle with Kaylin and Tommy

102
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: is loafing, are not running?

103
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: That's going to the house?

104
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 6: No Clinton, that was kind of near their sideline.

105
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 5: But we talked about having screen awareness, so if the

106
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 5: lineman gives you a queue, he recognize the play, you

107
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 5: got to turn and run.

108
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 6: And Washington's a fast guy.

109
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: So for Tommy to make that play, I mean he

110
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: was involved in the play, but we had a couple

111
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 5: of defenders near the ball. I mean that certainly was

112
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: a big play, no question about it.

113
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

114
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: Well, the edge rushers for the Texans really did a

115
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: good job will knocking the ball out. Daniel had that

116
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: very clutch sack. What about the pass rush.

117
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked about trying to disrupt the Tommy and

118
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: the quarterback there and we'd always didn't get to him,

119
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 5: but we did. There were a number of plays and

120
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: mean Settle forced a number of holding penalties as well.

121
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: And even on the strip sack.

122
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 5: Audrey powered the right guard and then forced the quarterback

123
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 5: to retreat out the back door, and then Will came

124
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 5: around and knocked the ball off. So pass rushes about

125
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: a coordinated effort amongst four or five, depending how much

126
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 5: you're rushing. And there were a number exams samples of

127
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 5: good pass rush coordination, and then some players won an

128
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 5: individually a Daniel Sack, I mean, he basically did his

129
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 5: spin move and the right tackle essentially didn't touch them.

130
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 5: There's always a number of factors, excuse me that going

131
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 5: to rush. It's rush and coverage, but the front deserves

132
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: a lot of credit for how we rushed the right

133
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 5: way with the according to the rush plan.

134
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so I can ask this question because this is

135
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: part of my contract. Kamari Lassiter, I remember was drafted, yeah,

136
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Kaylen Bullock was drafted, yes, correct, Derek Stingley was drafted

137
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: all by you, yeah, right by theanociation. But those three

138
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: guys have come up with a number of interceptions the

139
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: ballhawk nature, Nick, There's so many things we've talked about

140
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: with those defensive backs, you know, over the last couple

141
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: of years and then this year with Kaylin and with Kamari,

142
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: we talked about, you know, their willingness to come and

143
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: tackle and make those plays, but the way they attack

144
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the football. I would imagine that's something obviously she started

145
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: and looked at a lot, but now it's coming really

146
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: defruition with number of times to take it away.

147
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's the viewpoints always kind of different. So

148
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 5: corners the ball and attacking the ball is different than

149
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 5: how safeties played the ball. Safety as usually playing it

150
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 5: from top down with the ball in front of you

151
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 5: and having vision to the quarterback a corner. There's times

152
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: plenty of times where your back is to the quarterback

153
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 5: when you're not playing off covered and driving and breaking

154
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 5: on the ball. So we've seen Derek make a number

155
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: of plays like he did yesterday. I'm not sure quite

156
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 5: the extent, I think the one at the end of

157
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 5: the game, but just the ability to turn and find

158
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 5: the ball, and then it's safety you're reading a quarterback

159
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 5: and reacting to the throw and you want to make

160
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 5: sure that you take the right angle and a lot

161
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 5: of times it's being able to finish the play with

162
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 5: the interception. Calen has really good hands, and we talked

163
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 5: about this going back to the spring and even the draft.

164
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 5: That was one of the things that stood out about him,

165
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 5: and even Kamara. He's gotten his hands on the ball

166
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 5: as well. I put Kamari up there is as good

167
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: as a tackling corner as there is in the league.

168
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: I mean the way he forces, the way he supports,

169
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 5: the violence, the urgency, and I would say the Sting's

170
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 5: credit as well. Sting is really improved as a tackler.

171
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 5: And there were multiple examples in the game. So you know,

172
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: we lose sight of the highlight reel plays on the ball,

173
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: but he had a number of really strong tackles, run, force, crack,

174
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 5: replace tackles, which if he doesn't make that play, the

175
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: ball carrier is going to gain extra yards.

176
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, first play the game, first play the game gets

177
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: a TfL. I want to say there was a stat

178
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: that our our prear department put out that said two

179
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: TFLs two interceptions, first time his first time in history.

180
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: The department put it out there. They're probably right, right, no, no, no, right,

181
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: But it's just.

182
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: It's a credit to them putting out there.

183
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: But it's a credit to thing to two TFLs and

184
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: two picks in the same game.

185
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: And that's pretty nice. That is awesome, all right.

186
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: Speaking of awesome, I'm going full Chris Farley here as well. Uh,

187
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: to get Christian Harris back, I mean, that was great

188
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: at a big time when you needed him, and it

189
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: wasn't like you played every single snap, but it felt

190
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: like he was out there an awful lot.

191
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 6: He was out there a lot.

192
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: He was prepared, he was excited, he was ready to

193
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: ready to go, and he made a difference in the game.

194
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: I think he had eight tackles. Henry had eleven tackles.

195
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 5: So between the two and you're talking about guys the

196
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 5: linebackers had, you know, twenty some out to almost twenty tackles.

197
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: But it's always good to have good players on the

198
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 5: football field, and Christian's shown that he's one of our

199
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 5: better football players. His speed, his urgencies, ability to close

200
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: and cover shows up. It's great to have him back

201
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 5: and hopefully he feels he felt decent when he woke

202
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: up after the game. But he may have played a

203
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 5: few more snaps than we had anticipated. But to his credit,

204
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 5: I mean, he did a great job with his opportunities.

205
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so going forward with Christian because he played for

206
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: thirteen weeks, because I asked him that, you know, how

207
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: do you feel?

208
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: Just kind of what do you feel? How do you

209
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: feel low? You know, we'll fight out tomorrow and that

210
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: day after.

211
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: But when you have so many games in a small span,

212
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: do you look at his snaps and what he can

213
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: do a.

214
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: Little differently Nick, because he hasn't played for a long time.

215
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 5: It's the big thing is just kind of go through

216
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 5: the week. How are they repowering? How do they feel physically?

217
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: Where's their mindset that the having limitations, so understanding there's

218
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 5: a little bit of a ramp up that's required, so

219
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 5: you play stay back to back games of sixty five

220
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 5: seventy eighty plays.

221
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 6: Could catch up with you.

222
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 5: So we'll monitor it and ultimately we'll do he feels

223
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 5: best for the players, all.

224
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 3: Right, Offensively running game not what you wanted it to be,

225
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: but the passing game, opportunistic, able to get the two

226
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: tds and score when you really needed to.

227
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, a good example of complimentary football.

228
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 5: It will take kind of the short fields and convert

229
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: those into scoring plays. So I think we were two

230
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 5: or three in the right area. Were literally only play

231
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 5: the area the time we got stopped. Was there at

232
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 5: the end of the half, kind of that after the

233
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: kale and turnover, but be able to convert the first

234
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: turnover into a touchdown and the convert dares fake punt

235
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 5: into a touchdown. So anytime you can convert with touchdowns

236
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: and the scoring zone, that's going to make a difference,

237
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: and they'll end up being different difference making plays in

238
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: the game.

239
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Move Titus over left guard, Blake Fisher moves out to

240
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: right tackle. Would you think of that configuration, Nick, And

241
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: how did you think after watch the film that that

242
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and.

243
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: The offensive line played.

244
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, overall they did a pretty solid job.

245
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: So a couple of times, you know what, the play

246
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 5: was extended and the rush was extended, so you know,

247
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 5: credit to Miami for a chop kind of came out

248
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 5: of the back in a few of those. But overall,

249
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 5: I mean there was a number of plays where the

250
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: pocket was clean, we had opportunity to roll the football.

251
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: Blake did a pre solid job, played firm, played physical

252
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: and pass protection. Like I said, Chop got around them,

253
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: you know, one or two times, but Chops are really

254
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 5: good edge rushers. So but overall, that group played a

255
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 5: real solid football game and they're a big reason why

256
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 5: we were able to move the ball offensively.

257
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: You mentioned with players snaps and such, you see how

258
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: they feel during the week and that kind of thing.

259
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: But the good teams are going to play in the

260
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: primetime games, and you have some experience with these short

261
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: weeks against the Jets and after the Dallas game, so

262
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: that's got to help everybody as far as the support

263
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: staff and the players to get ready for this.

264
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, in some respects were battle tested. So even going

265
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 5: back to what it was week two or three when

266
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 5: we played Chicago on Sunday night and we've played on

267
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 5: Monday night, we've played Thursday night, so we kind of

268
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 5: had to deal with the alternative schedules. It's not perfect

269
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 5: for the players. I'm sure if he has the players,

270
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 5: they like the routine. Sure, kind of staying on schedule,

271
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: but we're able to adjust and adapt and modify as

272
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: we go, which that's what's that's what it takes.

273
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 6: Its time of year. So whatever we got to do

274
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 6: to get the team ready to go. That's where the

275
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 6: focus will be.

276
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we like the routine too, matching up practice with radios.

277
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: It's all good, okay, behind us good win win. The

278
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: AFC South fantastic, excellent. The Chiefs are coming up, going

279
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: to a place where we've had some bad luck there lately.

280
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: But now we're facing.

281
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: Maybe a long time ago, long time ago, a long

282
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 3: time ago, five years anyway, Patrick mahonmes banged up a

283
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: little bit, don't know.

284
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs teams were a lot of games. Well,

285
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: the last one went and beat the Brown yesterday the

286
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: biggest margin. And think all year your thoughts in the

287
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Scotty reporting Kansas Chiefs.

288
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is one of the best organizations in football,

289
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: top to bottom, starting with the Hunt ownership group and

290
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: what they've done. And you're talking about a team that

291
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: has arguably four Hall of Fame people or players, starting

292
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 5: with coach Reid. Talk about Patrick he'll be in the

293
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, Chris Jones, he'll be in the Hall

294
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 5: of Fame. Travis Kelsey he'll be in the Hall of Fame.

295
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 5: So you're talking about peak performers essentially every level who

296
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 5: have been very consistent. There's a reason that they've won

297
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 5: three Super Bowls. I mean, coach Reid is good to

298
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 5: coach in all sport. Him and brettviach. They do a

299
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 5: great job of constructing the team and they've had to

300
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: make some adjustments and changes year to year based on

301
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 5: their personnel. Everything offensively starts with Patrick. There's nobody like him.

302
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 5: He's so unique. He's obviously very talented and very skilled,

303
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 5: but he's very, very tough, and I think when you

304
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 5: look at their team and what the games that they've

305
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 5: been involved in, they've been in one score game essentially

306
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: every week, and he's made winning plays in the fourth quarter,

307
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 5: which is what great players do. They make winning plays

308
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: when the game is on the line. So obviously everything

309
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 5: starts with him. We'll see kind of where he is physically.

310
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: We're preparing for him to play. If he doesn't play,

311
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 5: then it'll be WinCE. But Patrick is his skilled and

312
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 5: unique a player as there's in the league. In the

313
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: offensive line, it's really about the three inside players, you know,

314
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 5: with Creiate Humphrey at center, with Smith at right guard,

315
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: and Joe Toney who we had experience with in New England.

316
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 5: Tooney actually had to kick out the left tackle the

317
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 5: other day against Cleveland because they've had some tackle issues.

318
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 5: Right tackle kind of been consistent with Taylor, but left tackle,

319
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 5: they've kind of rotated some guys in and out've had

320
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 5: multiple backs in there. It's been Hunt, it's been Pacheco.

321
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 5: Kelsey's been there all year. The guy that's kind of

322
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: really emerged a little bit in that second tight end

323
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 5: Roles Noah Ray. He's really added a lot to their offense.

324
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 5: And they've lost some receivers with the injury, but they

325
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: traded for d Hop you know, Marquise Brown could potentially

326
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 5: be back. They've used Worthy justin Watson, so they have

327
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 5: a collection of players offensive and they know how to

328
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 5: play and Patrick can do things that not a lot

329
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 5: of the quarterbacks can do. And the defensively, i mean,

330
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: Spags is a good a defensive coordinator, probably in the

331
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 5: history of the game, like going back to his time

332
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: with the Giants and what he's done with his defense.

333
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 5: This is a very very good defensive team. I mean,

334
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 5: they're winning because of their offense, but they've won as

335
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: many games on defense as well. And everything starts with

336
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 5: Chris Jones wherever they line him up. His defensive tackle.

337
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 5: He's a defensive end. He's an absolute game wrecker and

338
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 5: he's been one of the best defensive players for a

339
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 5: number of years now. But between him mccarl loftis, they've

340
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: got good players down the front, a man who's given

341
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 5: him some good snaps coming back off the injury here

342
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 5: on the edge, and then a linebacker. You know, Bolton

343
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 5: is probably an underrated player that not a lot of

344
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: people have talked about, but his leadership is toughness.

345
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 6: He plays physical.

346
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 5: This is a very physical defense, and in the secondary,

347
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 5: i'd say McDuffie is as good of a corner that

348
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 5: there is.

349
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 6: In the league. And go In can go out.

350
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 5: And then on the other side, they've kind of had

351
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 5: multiple players that they played opposite opposite him, and at

352
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: safety it's kind of been Justin and uh and Cook

353
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 5: for the most part.

354
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 6: Justin's really done a nice job.

355
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: Justin Ree's done a really good job for them since

356
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 5: they acquired him and they signed him away from us

357
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 5: there however many years ago.

358
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 6: That was so they play a lot of people. They do.

359
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: They present a lot of problems for the offense. It's

360
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: a very attacking, very aggressive play with their very aggressive mindset.

361
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: They're gonna pressure you, they're gonna play physical, and they're

362
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 5: created a lot of negative plays and a kicking game.

363
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 5: You know, coach Tobb has done a really good job

364
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 5: in their turn game. Good punter, you know, Reza has

365
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 5: done a good job for them. They've had to use

366
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 5: multiple kickers. So this is a team that, regardless of

367
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: who's playing, has found a way to win. So you

368
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: can't have nothing but respect for a team that goes

369
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 5: about their business that way.

370
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: Nick, you faced Andy Reid organizations. You've been involved with

371
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: this one. We had a match up with them a

372
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, but also in your previous life

373
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: with the Patriots, Super Bowl against the Eagles and AFC

374
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: Championship game against the Chiefs. How has Andy Reid evolved

375
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: as a head coach. He's one of the very best,

376
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: and he's chasing Donjula's record as much as Belichick was.

377
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I think a lot of the great coaches have

378
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 5: the ability to adjust and adapt kind of on a

379
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: year to year basis. So the way they were constructed

380
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 5: when Andy first took over, however many years ago, that

381
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 5: was to where they are now. I mean, everybody wants

382
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 5: to say, well, it's pigeonhole off Well, it's a West

383
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 5: Coast offense. This is what it is. Well, it's the

384
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 5: Chiefs offense. And they've kind of taken what they do

385
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 5: and made some adjustments and incorporates some concepts that are

386
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 5: comfortable for Patrick or that accentuate the skills of their players.

387
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: But coach Reid is as good of a coach as

388
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 5: there is in professional sports. And each year they kind

389
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: of look at their team try to figure out what

390
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 5: they need to do to be successful, and then they're

391
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 5: very consistent. The coach Reive runs a very rigorous training camp.

392
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 5: I'm sure he has Demiko about it, he'll tell you.

393
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: But they put a lot of stress and tax the

394
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 5: players and are very demanding. But they put them in

395
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: the positions where when they have to go out there

396
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: and perform a critical situations, they're ready for it. So

397
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 5: coach Reid, he's won wherever he's been and he's as

398
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 5: good of a coach says there is in the league.

399
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: To beat them, obviously slowly down Patrick Mahomes, What Nick,

400
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: what are a few absolutes against Patrick Mahomes Like, you

401
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: can't allow this, you can't do this, because Patrick will

402
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: respond with us. What are some of the absolutes that

403
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: you know you just cannot do against him and expect

404
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: to win.

405
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's best you can.

406
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: You gotta the rush has to be disciplined because you've

407
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: got to try to you can't let him out of

408
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 5: the pocket where he can kind of create and make

409
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 5: some loose plays. So he's more athletic than people give

410
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 5: him credit for. Maybe he's not to the extent of

411
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 5: Josh Allen and Lamar, but he has a way of

412
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 5: just navigating around things, and you just got to try

413
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 5: to take.

414
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 6: Away certain plays.

415
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 5: But understanding like he's going to make plays, he's going

416
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 5: to make throws, and if you can force him into

417
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 5: a turnover or get the ball off of them, like,

418
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 5: those are things if you can do it. But I mean,

419
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 5: Patrick has probably seen just about every coverage and every defense,

420
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 5: and like I said a little bit earlier, he just

421
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: makes winning plays in the most critical situation and he's

422
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: as mentally and physically tough probably he's any player at

423
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 5: that position, which is why he's going to be in

424
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 5: a Hall of Fame one day.

425
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 3: Nick officials, I'm not going to get you fined or anything,

426
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: but officiating is it kind of like umpires in baseball

427
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: with a different strike zone, they look for different things

428
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: or emphasize certain things. The rules are the same, but

429
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: different crews have different styles, if you will, of calling

430
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 3: a game.

431
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 6: They are and.

432
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 5: Officiating is difficult because the way things happen, they happen

433
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 5: at a high rate of speed, and it happened very quick.

434
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 5: If you don't have your eyes fixated in one particular spot,

435
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 5: then maybe you miss it or don't see it as

436
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 5: cleanly as you would a hope. So the files are

437
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 5: the foules ones. You got a call, and then there's

438
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: a little bit of a subject development, So you just

439
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 5: have to have an understanding of how the crew is

440
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 5: going to call the game. And there's been a lot

441
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 5: of turnover on the official front as well, so some

442
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 5: of it is learning some of the nuances associated with

443
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 5: the game. So officials have a hard job. We understand that.

444
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 5: I think the big thing from our perspective is just

445
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 5: make sure we have a reasonable explanation of what happened

446
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 5: and then can kind of get the information from the league.

447
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 5: This way, it's all about being able to teach and

448
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 5: train our players so we can coach them the appropriate way.

449
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Nik we know they've got a ton offensive weapons. You

450
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: mentioned him future Hall of Famers through Hopkins in a mix.

451
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: What's xavier' worthy given to this offense.

452
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, he's been productive.

453
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 5: They've tried to incorporate him from the beginning of the season,

454
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 5: so kind of get the ball in his hands. I mean,

455
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 5: he's probably one of the fastest players in the NFL,

456
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 5: so he's a little bit of a He's definitely a

457
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: space player where if he gets some open space, he

458
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 5: can go, but he can still run routes. So even

459
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 5: though he's kind of a smaller player like he's he's

460
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 5: tougher his size. They'd say in some respects, he and

461
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 5: Tank have some similarities. But they've definitely tried to incorporate him.

462
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: I think it'll be interesting to see if they do

463
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: get Hollywood Brown back how that affects their offense here

464
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 5: a little bit. But they've made some They've lost Forshi

465
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 5: or Shi was a big part of their offense where

466
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 5: she was in a kind of an emerging young player,

467
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 5: so unfortunately lost him, but Hop's been able to kind

468
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 5: of find a little bit of a niche. They have Worthy,

469
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: so they kind of use all their skill players and

470
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 5: then going back to the whole tight end position. Everybody

471
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 5: knows about Kelsey, not everybody really talks or knows about Gray,

472
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 5: but he's Patrick has a lot of faith and trust

473
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 5: in Noah Gray as much as anybody.

474
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: You mentioned Tank.

475
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: It's interesting Tank returning punds could make plays that way,

476
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: had that carry yesterday, and also with Damian Pierce returning kickoffs,

477
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 3: you have two playmakers. There are only so many opportunities

478
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: in a game on offense, so you get the ball

479
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: in their hands to make plays.

480
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 5: I try to find ways to get the ball in

481
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 5: players hands that can make plays, so those two players

482
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 5: have so many ability to do it. Dp's had multiple

483
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 5: kickoff returns and even on offensively going back to the

484
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 5: toss play against New England, and then Tank did a

485
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 5: good job making you know, for to three for forty

486
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: five or whatever it was on the punt returns, had

487
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 5: the reverse for fifteen twenty yards, had a couple other

488
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 5: catches first down. So anytime we can get the ball

489
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 5: in the hands of players like that and they can

490
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 5: do something with them certainly.

491
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 6: Going to make a difference.

492
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Nick felt like Sunday was a special team's day, minus

493
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: the off side.

494
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: On the field goal.

495
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: But it felt like in every aspect, felt like the

496
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: cover teams were really good.

497
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 2: You got a return game out of tank.

498
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: Then obviously the fake punt especial teams seemed to be

499
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: at a really high on Sunday.

500
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, players take a lot of pride in those units,

501
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 5: There's no question about it. And you know, Frank and

502
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 5: Will put a lot of time into that. The players

503
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 5: understand the importance of the kicking game. Were fortunate to

504
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 5: have I think three really good specialists and then have

505
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 5: some other players that are involved in the core. And

506
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 5: then we talked about the returners here a little bit,

507
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 5: but Tommy over the last month or so, it was

508
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 5: really punted the ball very very well and giving us

509
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: a number of punts to cover. And then Boyd has

510
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 5: done a nice job, whether it's Ben Boyd or Kadar,

511
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 5: different players at gunner going down there and being disruptive

512
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 5: and kind of forcing the offenses to play from a

513
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 5: long field, so field position is always critical, kind of

514
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: controlling the element of the game. And then we made

515
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: it play, made a few plays there in a return game,

516
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 5: and then the fake punt was being probably the difference

517
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 5: in the game.

518
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: Nick for entertainment purposes only Indiana or Notre Dame Friday.

519
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but.

520
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 6: Hendry Gass would kill me, So I'll say Notre Dame.

521
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: Sod's good. All right? What more for you?

522
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 7: All right?

523
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: It's the holiday season, Christmas is coming and we have

524
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: this three games, an eleven day situation going on. What

525
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 3: did coaches and football personnel do before online shopping?

526
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: How did you guys get this done? This is absolutely nuts.

527
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 5: That's funny you asked that, Mark, So I think I'll

528
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: just speak for myself. So Friday is typically a little

529
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: bit of an earlier, lighter day, So if you can

530
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: carve out some time, maybe on the Friday afternoon do

531
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 5: some Christmas shopping and then over the bye week, try

532
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 5: to be judicious with my time. So did some Christmas

533
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 5: shopping there. Took our daughters shopping so they could shop

534
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: for each other and for their mother most importantly. So

535
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 5: and then online shopping always makes a difference as well.

536
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 5: So if you get stuck. So but nobody's going to

537
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 5: the mall for two hours and going to be rolling

538
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 5: through the aisles, well maybe you are, John, not me.

539
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: I beg to differ, but I remember a few years

540
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: ago there was Texans we played at indian app Yeah,

541
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: and they're connected to that mall. I saw at least

542
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: three or four employees getting Christmas shopping done.

543
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: It had bags of stuff they were taking back on

544
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: the plane shift it back.

545
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that Kansas City's got a mall, but

546
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: you know, it was always shopping for the last minute shoppers,

547
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: always something last minute shoppers.

548
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: Nick, thanks a lot, good luck, thanks fellas.

549
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went to Indianapolis twenty fifteen and I just

550
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: remember seeing one person in particular had like three or

551
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: four big bags, and I remember chatting with him in

552
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: the mall and it was like, Yeah, I saw that

553
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: we had Indy on the schedule on this weekend, and

554
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. It's the best place to

555
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: be because they've gotten the mall attached to the hotel.

556
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: And that's one of the cool things about India is

557
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: you can stay inside, just walk from the hotel through

558
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: the corridors corridor system they have. And yeah, I did

559
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was looking for something for Christmas.

560
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: There have been a couple of Christmas trips or trips

561
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: around Christmas where I've had to go out. I remember

562
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: one at tennis See the really cold game twenty twenty two,

563
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: and I was looking for something for my daughter and

564
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't find it at one place. Oh, this is

565
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: a long, convoluted story. I got screwed by the Apple

566
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: Store in Nashville. Then I ended up finding it and

567
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: Target like twenty minutes away. I'd taken uber out there,

568
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: freezing cold, found it, got back to the hotel, and

569
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: it all was well because we end up beating the

570
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans the next day as well. So there you go,

571
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: Apple Store in Nashville. That's the way it goes. I

572
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: love the Apple Store. It's just to Apple Store in Nashville.

573
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: Did me wrong? They held something for me, but didn't

574
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: tell me when they closed. I got over there two

575
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: minutes after they closed, couldn't get it, killing me either way. Yeah,

576
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: sometimes you've got to make do on the road, a

577
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: little shopping if you've got to do that. So this

578
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: week is Kansas City, and I think, if I remember correctly,

579
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: there are some shops and some things you can do

580
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: in Kansas City.

581
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 2: But either way, maybe you'll see up there.

582
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: Hopefully you're coming up there for Saturday's game, or maybe

583
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: best case staying here and then we'll see it for

584
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: the game against Baltimore on Christmas Day.

585
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 2: Mark and I wanted to talk about this.

586
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: Game in particular, so we'll do that next right here

587
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,639

00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: Houston Texans a week away from Christmas. But before we

592
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: get there, and I'm curious, and I'll ask Mark, you

593
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: have young kids, when will you open gifts? Will you

594
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: do it Christmas Eve? Will you do it Christmas morning?

595
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: Or will you do it after the game against the Ravens.

596
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: As a kid, I did it Christmas Eve.

597
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: My family told And you know Dutch Christmas is December sixth,

598
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: because that's the Saint Nicholas Feast, still fifth of the

599
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 3: sixth whatever. Yeah, but you put out the wooden shoes

600
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: and they put goodies in there. Nobody really wore wooden shoes,

601
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: but you had them as the Christmas thing, like yes,

602
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 3: stocking if you will, and then on real Christmas that's

603
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: when you get the real haul. Yeah, And that was

604
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve. I forget how the Santa thing was interpreted

605
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: by me when I was a little kid opening presents

606
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 3: on Christmas Eve.

607
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: But somehow it all worked out. But how about this year.

608
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 3: This year's definitely Christmas Morning for its young and Liam

Speaker 3: is I mean, Luke is eighteen now, but he still

610
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: wants stuff.

611
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 2: Of course Liam is still eleven and fifty two.

612
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 3: I want stuff. Yeah, I want stuff too, So we'll

613
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,520

620
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: you have three days in one. Now, this doesn't really

Speaker 3: it's an actual Friday for that Sunday's game, and it's

624
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 3: still a game week Monday for the Thursday game. That's okay,

625
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: fair enough, but this is three different diferent days, different days.

626
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: An actual Thursday is game week Friday and game week

627
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: Monday because you have a game on Christmas Wednesday and

628
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: a game on Saturday.

629
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: So we're not confused at all. So totally confused.

630
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm having a hard time just figuring out today

631
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: was a Thursday practice.

632
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's Wednesday. Yeah, so tomorrow's Friday. Hold on.

633
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: So then yesterday when we in this man the building

634
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: always has people in it, don't get me wrong, but

635
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: the players off day is typically Tuesday, right, But yet

636
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: every player was here Tuesday because it was a Wednesday,

637
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: because it was a Wednesday, and Monday was weird because

638
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: it was a day off.

639
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: But a lot of players were in here on Monday.

640
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 3: A Ton and Demiko Ryans. We did his visit, our

641
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: visit with him. Yeah, we did our visit with Nick Cassario.

642
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: Usually we record that on a Tuesday, but of course

643
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: we did it on a Monday this week.

644
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: It's very confusing. It is very confusing. The Harris family.

645
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: The two youngins, well they're a little bit older, but

646
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: they still want to just like Liam and Luke. There's

647
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: an internal debate about when to do it. It's basically

648
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: three on one and the one has the job to do,

649
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: so the one is saying, well, I think we should

650
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: just wait until.

651
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: After the game, and so are not going to win, then.

652
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm stoking the embers. But yeah, I'm curious that I

653
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: think we'll do it before before the game.

654
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: Because it's kickoff three thirty.

655
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, I get to the stadium relatively

656
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: early and I got a much longer drive now.

657
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, but you can listen how long do gifts take?

658
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 3: An hour and max? Everybody just devours everything and then

659
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 3: they're done.

660
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know with there seemingly are breaks in the

661
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: Harris Household page. Harris likes to, uh, what's the right

662
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: im vibe? And the Christmas gifts for everybody sort of thing.

663
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: So there's so there's that. So it's always kind of interesting.

664
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: And I can say all that because she is now

665
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: in New York and so I can say those things.

666
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: So she's doing some work for a few days in

667
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: New York.

668
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: Which she's really excited about because Christmas in New York

669
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: is very cool, wittiful, but Christmas and Galveston will be

670
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: even better. What's the one thing that worries you most

671
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: about Saturday?

672
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 4: Is it?

673
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's just coaching ability in games of this magnitude.

674
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: Is it Mahomes? What he can do is at Kelsey?

675
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: Is it the defense? You have to pick one? Which

676
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: one are you like most? Okay? This one has me

677
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: most worried about Saturday.

678
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: Well, I know.

679
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 3: Everybody wants to focus on Kelsey Mahomes the defense. Let's

680
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: just talk about Andy Reid for a moment here. This

681
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: is one of the greatest coaches ever. And I was

682
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: prepping the game a little bit and looking at and

683
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: I'm not going to bog you down here too much, Johnny.

684
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: You know it's good. You know the resume is good, right.

685
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: You know, he's near three hundred wins. He's fourth all

686
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: time and obviously the active leader. With no more Bill

687
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: Belichick around to coach NFL football is Reid began as

688
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: a head coach in ninety nine in Philly was five

689
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: and eleven.

690
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: Don moving.

691
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 3: Here are the win totals in the following years eleven, eleven, twelve, twelve,

692
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: thirteen that included NFC Championship Game appearances, Super Bowl appearance,

693
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: reached the NFC Championship Game again in when was that eight?

694
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: Because he dips, he goes six and when they faced

695
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: the Cardinals in eight, he.

696
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 3: Goes six and ten, then he goes ten and six,

697
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: eight and eight, nine, six and one, where he reaches

698
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: the NFC Championship game, nine playoffs, ten playoffs. Then he

699
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 3: goes eight to eight, four and twelve, and he's done.

700
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: He's done in Philly. Oh, he can't coach anymore, cannot

701
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 3: coach one lick. He goes to Kansas City. Now the

702
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 3: thing is without Mahomes in Kansas City. People forget this

703
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: was a really solid team when they finally got off

704
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: the schneid and won a playoff game. Unfortunately, it was

705
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: against the Houston Texans as not the division winner.

706
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: They were a wild card team. They were the guests

707
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: Nile Freakin Davis.

708
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 7: Yep.

709
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: But in twenty third, listen to this with the Chiefs.

710
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: He joins the Chiefs in twenty thirteen, has Alex Smith

711
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: as his quarterback. Here are the win totals, eleven nine.

712
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: He dips and goes to nine, but then he goes eleven, twelve, ten,

713
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: and that's all without Patrick Mahomes. Then Mahomes enters the

714
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: fray and it's twelve twelve, fourteen, twelve, fourteen, eleven thirteen

715
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: in counting this year, it's sick Johnny double figures galore

716
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 3: with Andy Reid, and he is still fourth on the

717
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 3: all time list. And he's been coaching for twenty six

718
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: years as a head coach, remarkably successfully, and he's got

719
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 3: three Super Bowl wins. It's incredible what he's been able

720
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: to put together. And he's still going. I don't know

721
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: if he breaks the Shula record. He's got a ways.

722
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to go four or five more seasons. Yeah,

723
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: but he should be able to do it. Yeah, if

724
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: he's got Mahomes.

725
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 7: And he does.

726
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: A lot of people think and I think it's almost

727
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: unfair the advantage I have with Mahomes and Reed together.

728
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: But it'd be interesting to know what would have happened

729
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 3: to Mahomes if he went to another team, If he

730
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: was Caleb Williams going to this Chicago situation or something,

731
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: and you would think you would be better.

732
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: But to go and play for Andy Reid, who.

733
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: Is such a phenomenal head coach, I think that's a

734
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: big boost of your career, to say the least.

735
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: Well, I think one of the.

736
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: Other things, and we've talked about this a little bit,

737
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: and this is not meant in any way, shape or

738
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: form as a shot at Bill Belichick at all. I mean,

739
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: Belichick is is thought to be the greatest coach of

740
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: all time. He's been fantastic. But the tree from Bill Belichick,

741
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: the coaches that came out of the Bill Belichick tree really,

742
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: in all honesty, have done not a whole heck of

743
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: a lot, Right, There's been a lot of spectacular failures.

744
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: Now you could say out of that group, maybe Bill

745
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: O'Brien was the best.

746
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: With the four division titles you had here.

747
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 8: I don't think there's any question, but but I don't

748
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 8: know where else you go. However, when you look at

749
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 8: Andy Reid, you look at John Harbaugh with the Ravens

750
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 8: he coached under Andy Reid was a special teams coach

751
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 8: for him and Philly.

752
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 6: That's huge.

753
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: He goes over and he wins a championship and has

754
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: had the Ravens at that level for however long. Sean

755
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: McDermott McDermott was with the Eagles when Andy was there,

756
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: starting in two thousand and one.

757
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott was the assistant to the head coach Wow.

758
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: When he got there in two thousand and one, and

759
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: then he just a little bit at a time. He

760
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: just kept adding a roll and adding a role, and

761
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: he did all of that up until twenty ten when

762
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: he was defensive coordinator, then moved on to the Panthers

763
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: and then became the Bills coach. Ron Rivera has got

764
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: ties to Andy Reid are. There are a number of

765
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: coaches that have come out, and I know there's some

766
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: spectacular failures. Matt Naggy went to the Bears, had a

767
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: really good first season and then it just fell off

768
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: a cliff. There have been others, but Andy's at least

769
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: got a couple three or four coaches that have come

770
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: out of his tree that have also had Super Bowl

771
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: success or just a ton of success like McDermott has

772
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: had in Buffalo.

773
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: It's a great point.

774
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: You add that to the mix, and I think that's

775
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: really impressive.

776
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 3: Weed is more like Shula in that he's had a

777
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: number of really good quarterbacks and now he is the

778
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 3: greatest playing right now and one of the greatest ever

779
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: in Patrick Mahomes. He had Donovan McNabb really good, and

780
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 3: he did really well with him. I know it was

781
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: frustrating and Philly to go to all those NFC championship

782
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: games and only go to one Super Bowl. I get that,

783
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: but give me that kind of failure, you know what

784
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: I mean? I mean, oh darn it, we lost the

785
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: championship game again. And yeah, when you fail at that level,

786
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 3: it's excruciating. And I understand that, but when you look

787
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: at it on paper here, you're like, dang, I mean,

788
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: it takes a lot to get there. Everybody criticizes the

789
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: Bills for not getting over the hump and actually winning

790
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl.

791
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: I get that too.

792
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 3: When you go to four consecutive, you're doing a lot

793
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: of things right. You just didn't do the ultimate thing right.

794
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: And if you're a team that just you know, Mike

795
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: Tomlin gets a lot of grace. And I love Mike Tomlin,

796
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: and how can you not like I like his personality, right.

797
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: It's really showing off. Well.

798
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: He doesn't do much in the postseason historically, But you

799
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: win that one ring, it buys you a decade and

800
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 3: a half of grace.

801
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 2: Harbaugh, Tomlin, they've got one ring. Sean Payton. Sean Payton,

802
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: you get a.

803
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: Lot of grace, you get a lot of credibility and

804
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 3: I and deservedly so you won the championship.

805
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: That's awesome. So you know, give me, give me at

806
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: least one.

807
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: I'll be happy and Demiico can coach another ten years

808
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 3: and I'll be fine.

809
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean one ring.

810
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: I'll definitely take it.

811
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: It's been fascinating.

812
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's nobody in my world, in our

813
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: world that could ever replace the guy we have.

814
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: Now, there's nobody. I mean, I'll do whatever.

815
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean Dr fifty nine like, I'll take Tamika Ryan's

816
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: all day every day. I hope he knows that every

817
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: day I've got his back every day. Let's just love him.

818
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: It's been fascinating to watch Hard Knocks in the AFC

819
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: North and listen to Tomlin and Harbaugh, Zach Taylor and Stefanski.

820
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that division. Those four coaches are really

821
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: really good and how they communicate to their players. It

822
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: was fascinating on this episode. Just the other night, Stefanski

823
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: walks in and he's like, look, here's the bad news.

824
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: Season's over. Let me you're not going to the playoffs.

825
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: You've got four games, that's all you're promised. And it

826
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: was the way that he presented it to the guys,

827
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: and he's like, next up, we got the World champs

828
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: defend two time defending World Champs to Kansas City Chiefs.

829
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: That's gonna be like our playoff game. And I know

830
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: they didn't win it in the offense coming into Tank

831
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: because Jamis is throwing too many interceptions and they got

832
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: guys banged up and Chubb broke his.

833
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: Foot, all that kind of stuff. The defense played its guts.

834
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: Out and that to me goes to coaching, like that's

835
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: a team having a terrible year, yet that defense is

836
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: showing up there. They're living up to what their coaches

837
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: asking him to do. But just to listen to the coaches,

838
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: all four of them speak to their teams and how

839
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: they rally their teams and what they're trying to do.

840
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: It's been fascinating, fascinating to watch. And there's John Harbaugh

841
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: who came out of the Andy Reid Tree.

842
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 2: As far as Saturday it goes, It's funny.

843
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: I was I was talking to evert Our, our PR guru,

844
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: who is fantastic, and we were just chating, kind of

845
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: chatting about the game on Saturday, and I said, I

846
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: was driving up today and I was listening to Sean

847
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: and Seth and I kind of started daydreaming off of

848
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: some of the things they were talking about. And I

849
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 1: started thinking about, you know, the Chiefs and the Ravens

850
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: in particular, those two teams you kind of just you

851
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: always kind of holding your breath right right, like, oh,

852
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: my homes is gonna do something.

853
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: Oh Lamar does this.

854
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: And I started thinking about our team this year, especially offensively,

855
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: and I started thinking about, do you think that unit

856
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: fears anybody?

857
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I think they fire. They get

858
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 3: fired up about these challenges.

859
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: They respect them. No, they totally respect them.

860
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: But I feel like I don't want to put any

861
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: former teams on blast, but I think it was they

862
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: would see Lamar like Lamar, Oh my God, as opposed

863
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: to we want Lamar. They should have we want him,

864
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: we want to face them.

865
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: You feel like they should have gotten more fired up

866
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 3: from will Levin exactly exactly. I mean, that wasn't the case.

867
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 3: I don't know something went wrong. All the mysterious things

868
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: that there There are two. There are two games that

869
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: come to mind. It will always come to mind. I

870
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: wanted it to be one forever, but now there's the second.

871
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 7: One.

872
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: One obviously is will Levis a few weeks ago. The

873
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: other one is twenty nineteen against the Denver Broncos. True

874
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: locked that day makes no sense.

875
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 3: That was more inexplicable in the twenty nineteen game because

876
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: the Titans, yeah, had so many chances to win.

877
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 2: They gave mistake after mistake. Vision games, you know, things

878
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: can always Yeah.

879
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 3: And you just made so many mistakes and you're just

880
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 3: caught off guard and there's no excuse for it. And

881
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 3: they all know it and they all say it. But

882
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: to your point, Johnny, they get fired up for these challenges.

883
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: Going up to Arrowhead and playing Patrick Mahomes is huge.

884
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 2: I think.

885
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: Another question is the Chiefs and Ravens, what are they

886
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: think and especially facing this defense. Oh boy, these guys

887
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 3: take the ball away. Look at these guys on the edge.

888
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: They're ferocious. Look at that rotation at defensive tackle they are.

889
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 3: For these DB's Robin people, this is awesome and what

890
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 3: they put together. We have to be at our very

891
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,479
Speaker 3: best to beat this defense. That's what they're gonna be saying.

892
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 3: And the Chiefs did not face this defense last year.

893
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: The Ravens did two years ago. Oh last year, yeah,

894
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: I gotcha, I got you.

895
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: But this defense is even that much more different than

896
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: last year.

897
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: I think it's better. I think with Hunter now Grenard

898
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 3: as good as he is. The Ravens in the playoffs

899
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: faced banged up Will Anderson Jr. And really banged up

900
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 3: Jonathan Grard. I mean, those guys got out there to play,

901
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 3: and credit to them, but they were not themselves. They

902
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 3: were eighty percent whatever percentage they were. Now you're looking

903
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: at a much closer to one hundred percent Will Anderson Junior.

904
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 3: You have Danil Hunter who's eating people alive and everything

905
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 3: else they're putting out there. Derek Stingley Junior that much

906
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: more mature, killing bullock, rookie phenom. I don't have to

907
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 3: go down the list now, you don't have a ZS,

908
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: but you got Harris back him. Harris with fresh legs

909
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: after one game. I don't know if they're fresh anymore.

910
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: I don't know how to evaluate that, but I think

911
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 3: you have a lot going for you in these two

912
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 3: games defensively and offensively. Look, don't turn the ball over.

913
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 3: Get better as you go here. Maybe you can find

914
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 3: some running lanes with Joe Mixon. CJ looked real sharp

915
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: coming off the bye, his first quarterback rating over one

916
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: hundred since Week six. Let's keep that kind of positive

917
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 3: trend going in the passing game.

918
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: And the least amount of pressures. Now I know Dolphins

919
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: ended up with four sacks with the least amount of

920
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: pressures in any game since all year. It's the last two,

921
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: it's the Jacksonville game, and then it's this one. And

922
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: this one obviously had the new configuration on the offensive line.

923
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: And there was some news today.

924
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: With Kenyon Green being activated back to the rosters. So

925
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: don't know what that's going to mean, how it if

926
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: it changes, if Kenyon steps right back in, if Titus

927
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: moves oh back over, We don't know, but I do

928
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: know even in I think it was only fifty plays

929
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: that the offense had, there was a lot more good

930
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: And Demiko pointed it out. He talked about that after

931
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: the game with US and his press conference that he

932
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: thought thought that offensive line did some things, but defensively,

933
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: and I you'll hear this on in the lab a

934
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: little later in the show everybody, but I made the

935
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: claim that Henry Toatoa might be and I know there's

936
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of studs on this defense, Henry Toatoa might

937
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: be playing as one of the top three defensive players

938
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: you have on this team. Wow, the way that he

939
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: is playing, having the green dot wearing a green dot

940
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: the other day. I feel like Henry Toatoa has to

941
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: be on the field every play.

942
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: What do you do when you have a Z's back

943
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 3: and you have Harris playing well, I think.

944
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: In some way, shape or form, you're gonna have some

945
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: sort of rotation to keep them all fresh. Okay, And

946
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: there's probably gonna be a package that you're gonna have

947
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: with all three of them on the field too.

948
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: And I'm okay, and I'm okay against.

949
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: The Ravens because somebody one of those yes, should cover

950
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: Andrews right right?

951
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 2: Likely?

952
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 3: Who can cover likely? Is that a Well, we can

953
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 3: worry about this next week. But next week, say two days.

954
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: Well, like you said, on Friday will be game week

955
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: Monday for the Ravens, so we can already do that.

956
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 3: So Thursday after Thursday is game week Monday, Johnny, Yeah,

957
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 3: Friday is already Tuesday because Saturday never mind.

958
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I'm with you, but we get the point.

959
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: I think there are a number of different things you

960
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: can do. I mean, in the playoff game, you spied

961
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: Christian Harris on on Lamar, but the problem was Denzel

962
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: didn't cover very well. Denzel Perriman. So when when and Blake,

963
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, having Blake out there was great. But Blake

964
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: was I think banged up near the end of the year,

965
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: so he wasn't playing like he had in the middle

966
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: of the season. So you got a relatively healthy disease.

967
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: You got Christian kind of back in the fold now

968
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: after missing much of the year. Henry playing at the

969
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: level I'm telling you, going back and watching the film

970
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: of that Dolphins game, Henry played at a ratus speed

971
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: that was like, I mean, I was like, I remember

972
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: the first few plays I'm watching it. I'm like, I

973
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: used some bad words like holy believe, look how fast

974
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: he is, like running it back and running it back

975
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: and watching the same play twenty times, Like I got

976
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: to move forward, but I can't keep my eyes off

977
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: how fast Henry's playing. And he's communicating and I heard

978
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: Demiko I think it was during his press or when

979
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: he was asked about his Like communication was great and

980
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: you could tell even when And this is the other

981
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: thing too, when you play at home.

982
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: You're loud. It's yeah.

983
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: You as a defensive players, a defensive captain, you got

984
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: to make sure with hand signals and whatever you're doing

985
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: that you're getting the message to the front and the

986
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: back and everybody's on the same page. Then you're playing

987
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: with Christian, who you have experience playing next to next two.

988
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: But you got to make sure he's got the call. Hey,

989
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: he's got to relay the call to it. And I

990
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: saw a couple of times the Christian would look at

991
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: Henry like whoa, whoa, you know, like he would give

992
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: a hand signal and Henry's like no, no, no, this this

993
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: and Christian was like what He's like yeah, So they

994
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: would get.

995
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 2: On the same page. But I thought the communication was great.

996
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of responsibility put on Henry, and he

997
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: stepped up. And you you will never hear me say, oh,

998
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: well these comes back. You know he'll step in. No,

999
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: that's too many lineback, No, no, no, no. You have everybody

1000
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: fresh at all times with all three of them, and

1001
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: that's exactly what you need. And you won't have his

1002
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: ease for Lamar Jackson and the multiple Ravens, but you're

1003
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna have Devin White, You're gonna have those two.

1004
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 2: You still got Jake and Nevill.

1005
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: Those guys have given you good reps when when his

1006
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: ease was out, so We'll talk about the Ravens later.

1007
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: But to me, I made my creamy crop play Henry

1008
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: Toatoa because the one thing I think Henry's gonna have

1009
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: to do, He's gonna have to be the one I

1010
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: think that shadows Mahomes.

1011
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 3: How about this, exactly one week from right now as

1012
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: this show airs on sports Radio six to ten, not

1013
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: later on a podcast. Yeah, but exactly one week from

1014
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 3: right now, we are probably finished with the game or

1015
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 3: in overtime.

1016
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: Think about that. Well, wait, what time did we play

1017
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: three thirty? Yeah, that's close. Yeah, we might be done.

1018
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: We might be Fairbaron might be lining up for the

1019
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: game winning field.

1020
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: Goal a week from now today, beating the Ravens. Yes,

1021
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: let's go.

1022
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: If you had to win one, if you had to

1023
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: win one, but you could only win one, Chiefs.

1024
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: On the road Ravens. Oh, you know, we might not.

1025
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: I know the one I want.

1026
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 3: Look, I think I want the Ravens, me too. I

1027
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: want both, obviously, But if I had to pick one

1028
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 3: one of my children here these next two games, I

1029
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 3: want to win the Beyonce game. And by the way,

1030
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 3: we're probably not at the end of the game because

1031
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 3: the Beyonce half ten is going to be twenty minutes

1032
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 3: or something a little bit longer.

1033
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: That's gonna be weird. It's gonna have to go back

Speaker 2: So congrats to sting Okay, let's get the injury report.

1060
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: It's not the prettiest, it's not the worst though, DMPs

1061
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: fully Fotakassi, who left the game with an ankle, did

1062
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: not participate. I'm not expecting to see him anytime soon.

1063
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: John Metchi, dealing with shoulder, did not participate. Hate c

1064
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: and that Juice has been out for a little bit

1065
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: with that foot. And Stover with the appidectomy that he

1066
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: had her emergency appidectomy. He had it this weekend. It

1067
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: was good to see Kate in the building today. Joe

1068
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: Mixon del Shan moved up to limited participants in practice.

1069
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 2: That was good stuff. And then Davis Mills was back.

1070
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: He was dealing with the illness, so he is back.

1071
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: Other news with the Texas Kenya Green activated to the

1072
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster now on the chief side and

1073
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: this is one of a monitor or DJ Humphreys hamstring.

1074
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: Now he did not participate. On wednes Tuesday, did not

1075
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: participate on Wednesday. They moved him over to left tackle

1076
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: opposite Juwan Taylor. They thought they had something that Humphreys

1077
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: gets hurt, then they put in Joe Toney and that

1078
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: is not the greatest because tun he's a guard.

1079
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 2: So this could kind of.

1080
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: Reconfigure things at the left tackle position for the Chiefs

1081
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: against two the more dominant pass rushers and Daniel Hunter

1082
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: and Will Anderson Junior in the league. It's the best

1083
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: sack duo in the league by the numbers right now,

1084
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: and I think it's the best in the league. So

1085
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: keep an eye on dj Humphries, the left tackle, whether

1086
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: he will be ready to go, and if he's not,

1087
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: how are the Chiefs going to line up? That is

00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,719

1126

00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: I put this on and you know, I've got a

1130
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: little bit longer driving to work now. I put this

1131
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: on at like six forty five this morning, not even

1132
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: thinking about this being and I'm just flipping literally flipping

1133
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 1: right before this interview, I've flipping through Twitter and I went, huh, we're.

1134
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 2: Going to the playoffs. Oh, this is awesome news.

1135
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: It was the only sport at the in ivy League

1136
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: campus that did not go to the playoffs. And CAA

1137
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: tournament's had Princeton upset people for years. They get into

1138
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: baseball tournament, they get in volleyball, I mean, they get

1139
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: into everything they just couldn't get in football, and finally

1140
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: they made this happen. It was it's tremendous, tremendous news.

1141
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: There's also some news floating out there. Then, I want

1142
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on Fletch. Sam Houston is very

1143
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: very close to many of us. But Phil Longo the

1144
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: head coach at Sam Houston, he was the offensive coordinator

1145
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: there before he moved on.

1146
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: He knows the university, he knows the right people.

1147
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: Fletcher thoughts about Phil Longo becoming the Sam Houston football coach.

1148
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 7: I think it's fantastic for Bobby Williams for the Bearcat Nation.

1149
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously, Casey Keeler Championship Pedigree, national champion onto

1150
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 7: Temple and we'll do great things there, but you're bringing

1151
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 7: back one of your own into the fold. You mentioned

1152
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 7: Phil being there early in coach Keeler's tenure there, and look,

1153
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 7: I mean, this guy has had really good stints at

1154
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 7: Ole Miss, at North Carolina. It's got some challenges in Wisconsin,

1155
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 7: but nevertheless, playing on a big time level. That's a

1156
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 7: huge win for Sam Houston as they head in to

1157
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 7: their first ever bowl game tomorrow night, yep, and they

1158
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 7: head into you know, the opportunity next year to really

1159
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 7: again compete for the Conference USA title. So a big

1160
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 7: win for them.

1161
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: That's that's a big win for them. Arnel carries ball

1162
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. You know, they've been in the Dome

1163
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: practicing in the last few days, taken on Georgia's Southern

1164
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: which I think will be a heck of a football game.

1165
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: Brad Cornelson will end up being the interim head coach,

1166
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: But it sounds like Phil Longo, who had some of

1167
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: the more explosive offenses and the most dynamic and productive

1168
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: offenses in Sam Houston history when he was the offensive coordinator,

1169
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: called a number of those games when he was there

1170
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: with Jeremi Briscoe, who was the quarterback who was.

1171
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 7: M Bristol at Sam Howe when he was at North

1172
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 7: Carolina got him.

1173
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: To be He's had some gun slingers along the way,

1174
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: but Phil Longo is on his way. Hopefully, hopefully we'll

1175
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: see to Sam Houston to be the head coach there.

1176
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: Now let's dive into the matter at hand, fletched, and

1177
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: that is the Kinders Texas Bowl. Okay, we talked before

1178
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: the bowl selection, we talked on air, we talked off air.

1179
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: I know you're going to tell me that you got

1180
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: the two teams that you wanted, but it really felt

1181
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: like you got the two teams that you wanted.

1182
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 7: That's true, we got the two teams that we wanted.

1183
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 7: I mean we would love all of the big twelve

1184
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 7: at SEC friends.

1185
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 2: To play them. Are absolutely different texts.

1186
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 7: I mean, you want to talk, you want to talk

1187
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 7: about a playoff expansion, Let's just host every big twelve

1188
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 7: SEC matchup here. I'm in. I think Houston would be

1189
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 7: in for that. I know the fans would be. But really,

1190
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 7: when you look at how things unfolded with the Kinders

1191
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 7: Texas Bowl this year Baylor LSU, so many storylines, so

1192
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 7: many great opportunities to celebrate bolseason around this matchup. Yet

1193
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 7: let's start with New Year's Eve Day. We're closing out

1194
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 7: the year with football. That's a great start. Two thirty

1195
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 7: afternoon kick here at NRG Stadium. Baylor hottest team in

1196
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 7: the country arguably down the stretch, six wins in a row,

1197
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 7: really fueled by some some some play that that you

1198
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 7: know on the offensive side that that has been one

1199
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 7: of the most exciting to watch in the country. Ls

1200
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 7: U l s U is LSU, But LSU had a

1201
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 7: guy named Dave Randa is their offensive I mean, their

1202
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator in their championship run just a few years back.

1203
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: Where's Dave Randa at Now He's not the head coach

1204
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 2: at Baylor.

1205
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,439
Speaker 7: He's the head coach at Baylor, And so you've got

1206
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 7: that storyline. These two teams, despite their regional you know, proximity,

1207
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 7: haven't played in forty years. So this is a really

1208
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 7: fun opportunity for these two fan bases to to come

1209
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,400

00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 7: that Houston and and the football community has stepped up.

1213
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 7: This game's on fire. We're gonna have an incredible atmosphere

1214
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 7: out here at NRG come New Year's Eve Day. Bull

1220
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: including Rodeo Bowl that will take place. I know that's

1221
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: a closed event, but it's the events that go with

1222
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:25,720
Speaker 1: the Bowl. We've heard for years about how the teams

1223
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: have responded to it was like, man, that's the most

1224
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: fun we've had at a Bowl game. That's an incredible

1225
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: atmosphere as you go into every Bowl and you consider, Okay,

1226
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 1: what can we do to top last year? What can

1227
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,919
Speaker 1: we do in addition to what we did last year?

1228
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: I know you got a ton of events for the people.

1229
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: Break some of those down some of the things that

1230
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 1: people can look forward to as they're thinking about coming

1231
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: to the game or coming to the game and they

1232
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: just want things to do. They'll be here over that weekend.

1233
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 1: What are some things they can do whether here.

1234
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 7: Well, I think talking about the experience, the couple things

1235
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 7: that really aid you know, are our storyline here in Houston.

1236
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 7: Hostility is what we do best. Houston is one of

1237
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 7: the great entertainment places of the world. Culture of food,

1238
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 7: of sports, of music really creates a great atmosphere for

1239
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 7: whether you're a player, a coach, or a fan traveling in.

1240
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 7: So we know how to do that here. And as

1241
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 7: a reminder, I know we've talked about this before, but

1242
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 7: we've lived it too, Johnny Houston's hosted more major sporting

1243
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 7: events than anybody else in the country in the last

1244
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 7: twenty years. So we know what we're doing down here,

1245
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 7: and we love the opportunity we get. We work for

1246
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 7: an NFL team and this venue here in RG Stadium

1247
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 7: has been the backdrop of so many great events. But

1248
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 7: that NFL experience that we're able to bring to the

1249
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 7: fans and to the athletes in there in town is

1250
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 7: something that really enhances our position as a premier destination

1251
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 7: for college foot You've got two really important pillars that

1252
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 7: help us right out of the gate. Then you go

1253
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 7: and you look at how we try and cultivate this

1254
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 7: experience here and this year we got a big shot

1255
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 7: in the arm because we've got a brand new title

1256
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 7: sponsor in Kinders that is awesome to work with and

1257
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 7: it fits perfectly with game day atmosphere, whether you're homegating, tailgating, sauces, seasonings.

1258
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 7: They add to everything you're doing, and they're really fired

1259
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 7: up about what we're doing with them as part of

1260
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 7: our new partnership with them. So you start adding those

1261
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 7: elements in and then you look at the events and yes,

1262
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 7: we focus on every element of the experience that we can.

1263
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 7: We've got some really nice built in elements, beautiful hotels, downtown,

1264
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:46,240
Speaker 7: Discovery Green areas, really an incredible campus food fun rockets

1265
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 7: are in town for a couple games, so you know

1266
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 7: that's going to help. The teams are each going to

1267
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,959
Speaker 7: be going out to those events so while they're here.

1268
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 7: But then you look at the Bowl Week events itself

1269
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 7: that we're creating. Rodeo Bowl is a private event, but

1270
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 7: it's the best Bowl Week event in the country many

1331
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 7: of fun to celebrate the new year. And I can't

1332
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 7: think of a better way to do that than with football. Yeah.

1333
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean you know how I roll. Well, I

1334
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: mean I'm working that day, but I love it. You

1335
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: could you throw me up there and have five? We

1336
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: have five games? Like you said, that's a big twelve.

1337
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: I think styles make fights, but in bowl games, I

1338
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: think quarterbacks can end up making bowl games. And you

1339
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: got two good ones in this one. Nus Meyer's already

1340
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: decided he's going back to LSU. Sawyer Robertson's as hot

1341
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: as any quarterback from Baylor. We know about Bryce and

1342
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Washington for Baylor, but those two quarterbacks, the fact that

1343
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: you have stud quarterbacks I think helps any bowl game.

1344
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: You know, you go to a bowl game and you're like, oh, no,

1345
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are already moving on to the NFL. But you

1346
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: got two stud quarterbacks here, and I think that could

1347
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: make for one heck of a bowl game, especially for

1348
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: LSU because those two fans came here a few years

1349
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: ago and there was all kinds of movement going on

1350
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: with the program at the time, and just quarterbacks moving on.

1351
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: Jane Daniels I got there yet Brian Kelly I think

1352
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: was just higher. He was, so the staff was in flux.

1353
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Everything was kind of in flux. But now you've got

1354
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: an LSU team where Brian Kelly is established, a lot

1355
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: of players that are sticking around and staying around that

1356
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: are gonna be playing this game, including the Garon nuss Meyer.

1357
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: It's really really exciting from that perspective, Fletch, that you

1358
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: get a quarterback matchup like that as well.

1359
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 7: Well, look, I mean, you know, not to put any

1360
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 7: more pressure on Brian Kelly because obviously you know, as

1361
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 7: the head football coach at LSU that into itself as

1362
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 7: that has that, But he spoke to what I think

1363
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 7: is a really important element. This game starts next year. Yes, right,

1364
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 7: the tone you set for the offseason, you know, the

1365
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 7: quest to be in the playoff with both of these teams,

1366
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 7: that's their objective. So they didn't make it this year,

1367
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 7: but they use this game as a springboard for what

1368
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 7: they do next year and that's something that we've seen

1369
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 7: in this game a lot over the years. Four of

1370
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 7: sorry five of the last seven winners of the Kinders

1371
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 7: Texas Bowl have played in the new year six the

1372
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 7: next year, which would now put them into the playoff,

1373
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 7: which is a great opportunity for both of these programs

1374
01:01:55,520 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 7: to focus on. The quarterbacks definitely matter, I think ultimately, Johnny,

1375
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 7: you know, look, there's a lot of transition in college

1376
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 7: football right now. Anybody who remotely follows the sport knows that,

1377
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 7: whether it's NROO, nil transfer, portal, coach, coaching movement, all

1378
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 7: litanyan things. Look, one of the positives that I think

1379
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 7: is part of this new era is that more players

1380
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 7: are staying around to participate in these postseason events for

1381
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 7: a variety of reasons. But we are going to benefit

1382
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 7: in our game this year because both programs aren't going

1383
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 7: to have a solid roster on each side, and their

1384
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 7: star quarterbacks both will be here, which is great. So

1385
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 7: it really is something that as you look at the

1386
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 7: evolution of bowl season, we're certainly keeping an eye on.

1387
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 7: But for us this year, we think it creates a

1388
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 7: great matchup.

1389
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you're seeing not it's a significant number. I

1390
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know that I could put a percentage on it.

1391
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: But you're seeing a lot of guys deciding, you know,

1392
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm sticking around for another year. I make pretty decent

1393
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: niow money. They're thinking I'm a day three pick. I

1394
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: think I can improve that. Let me stick around for

1395
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: another year making a little bit of money, see what

1396
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I can do, and then go off after you know, fourth, fifth, sixth,

1397
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. Whereas five seven years ago,

1398
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: guys are like, I'm not making any money. I'm not

1399
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: getting anything at all. I gotta do something for my family.

1400
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: I've got to go to the NFL, and that would

1401
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: precipitate players not playing in a Bowl game. But now

1402
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: you've got a ton sticking around and playing, and I

1403
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: think it makes it makes the game. And there are

1404
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: even some situations where guys have decided to go to

1405
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, but they're still playing in the Purple Game.

1406
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's a hell of a development as well.

1407
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you get a chance to talk

1408
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: to your colleague, your bowl colleagues around, et cetera. But

1409
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: what's been kind of the thought in the playoff, the

1410
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: twelve team playoff as it's constructed, I'm sure there's gonna

1411
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: be some changes going forward. I think probably the Power

1412
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Conferences maybe didn't like seeing Arizona State, Bois State get

1413
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: by weeks whatever. But what's been kind of your thought

1414
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: on the playoff and how it's constructed. I know, the

1415
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: Long Orange are be playing on Saturday after the Mustangs

1416
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: play Penn State, well and we're playing Texans.

1417
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 2: It's all kinds of stuff moving on.

1418
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 7: Would you think, well, look, I mean it's exciting for

1419
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 7: the sport. I mean, the the the energy around who

1420
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 7: gets in. You know, while at this stage you know,

1421
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 7: is still new to everybody, you can see it building,

1422
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 7: you can see the excitement around it.

1423
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1424
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 7: Is it perfect? No, it's not. And certainly, as somebody

1425
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 7: who is very active in the college football postseason myself,

1426
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 7: you know, i'd be very interested to see how how

1427
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 7: this weekend unfolds on campus games for the first time ever.

1428
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 7: You've got a quick turnaround after that into the into

1429
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 7: the bowls and talking with my colleagues. You know, I

1430
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 7: think some of the storylines that you're starting to see

1431
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 7: is which, by the way, are good storylines. If you

1432
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 7: look at the Bull season lineup as a whole, this

1433
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 7: year there's a lot of really good regional matchups, our

1434
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 7: game being one of them, right, and that creates a

1435
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 7: lot of fan interest. You've got familiarity with those teams

1436
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 7: and and certainly you have situations where that's not the case.

1437
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 7: But but generally speaking, you know, that movement towards getting

1438
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 7: some of those matchups of teams that you know or

1439
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 7: see in your in your everyday lives, but but they

1440
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 7: don't play each other much. Yeah, definitely be a good development.

1441
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:29,439
Speaker 7: We talked about the player participation element, and I think

1442
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 7: that's a really good element of this, certainly that the

1443
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 7: transfer portal, and I will well, we'll create some additional

1444
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 7: changes to that even even over the next few days

1445
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:43,439
Speaker 7: as that that winds down, but ultimately some stability, some

1446
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 7: continued uh investment of of uh in in Bowl season

1447
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 7: and and uh you know, just uh, you know, I

1448
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 7: think a shot in the arm for for games like

1449
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 7: ours that that really have had a great story, but

1450
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 7: now you know you're you're gonna see even more emphasis

1451
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 7: on playing in them is a good thing. We'll see

1452
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 7: how it plays out. The system has really this year,

1453
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 7: and then we move into as an industry, the negotiation

1454
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:16,959
Speaker 7: window with the conferences. All of us see our current

1455
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 7: agreements end after next year's game, so there are gonna

1456
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 7: be a lot of decisions made off of a very

1457
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 7: short runway of information. But you know, in the spirit

1458
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 7: of where we're heading, the evolution is a good thing

1459
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 7: for the sport. And you're seeing it in ratings, you're

1460
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 7: seeing it in metrics, and you're seeing it in the

1461
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 7: participation from players as well. So it's a good thing.

1462
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 2: It is. It's definitely a good thing.

1463
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Baylor LSU for the Kinders Texas Bowl is a great thing.

1464
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 2: Make sure you get your tickets.

1465
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,920

Speaker 1: first at two thirty, and it's gonna be absolutely awesome.

Speaker 1: set this matchup up, and I know it's not just

1480
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: the Bowl game. It's been soccer, it's been Battle of bands,

1481
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: it's everything that you bring to this environment. This community

1482
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: is absolutely fantastic.

1483
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 2: But for me, you're bringing in Baylor LSU.

1484
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,480

1485
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:42,440

Speaker 1: We're gonna have Fletch on again very very soon because

1491
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 1: there's so many things that we left on the.

1492
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 2: Cutting your room floor, and we've got thirteen days for

1493
01:07:57,800 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 2: the game.

1494
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: So I'm sure as we get closer to Baylor LSU

1495
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,880

1496
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 2: Thirty, we'll talk again.

1497
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: I love having Fletch in, so we'll have Fletch David Fletcher,

1498
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: Executive director of the Kinders Texas Bowl, in to join

1499
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: us yet again.

1500
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 2: Coming up next, let's go in the lab.

1501
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Who are the cream and the crop players for this

1502
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: week against kansasin Chiefs. We'll remind you who we picked

1503
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: last week, and we picked pretty well. Drew Doughty and

1504
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: I next in the lab right here, Texans All Access

1505
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: time for the SLB Stats Challenge. Check out Houston Texans

1506
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:39,799
Speaker 1: dot com for some help with the SLB Stats Challenge,

1507
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: which you can incorporate with all your middle school math students.

1508
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: And it's adding football and math together and I used

1509
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: to do that with my classes.

1510
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 2: I used to write tests that were based.

1511
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: All on football dealing with math topics, and that's what

1512
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 1: the SLB Stats Challenge is all about. The stat number

1513
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: today is seven, and that's Joe Mixon's one hundred yard

1514
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: rushing games this year. Now, one of the things about

1515
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Joe having seven one hundred plus games is the fact

1516
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 1: that in other games he's had twenty five, he's had twenty's,

1517
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: he's it's been feast or famine in the run game.

1518
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 1: So'd love to be able to find a really good

1519
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: happy median. I don't know that this is the week

1520
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: that happens, because the Chiefs front is excellent led by

1521
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, but it'd be nice to get Joe that

1522
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 1: eight hundred yard rushing game, which I believe would tie

1523
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: him with Arion Foster for the most in any one season,

1524
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: any one season for the Texans. I'm remember that correctly,

1525
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: so love to see Joe get over a one k

1526
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: as well.

1527
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 2: That would be fantastic stuff.

1528
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tough one, but I think

1529
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: the biggest key is just total offensive yards. So if

1530
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: you can't get Joe a bunch of rushing yards throwing

1531
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: the ball in the backfield, I mean, he's the lead receiver.

1532
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: Five for thirty three I think was what he had

1533
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: and I think he could do even more. And obviously

1534
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: he's breaking He's broken a few off screens, so I

1535
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: think you got an opportunity. But seven hundred yard games,

1536
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: I think Joe's probably exceeded expectations of what people thought. Oh,

1537
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals were gonna release him and all that kind

1538
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: of stuff, and then Texans made a trade for a

1539
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: seventh rounder. They've gotten a ton out of Joe and

1540
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: he gives them such energy. I love Joe Mixon being

1541
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: on this football team, and hopefully there's more coming, especially

1542
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 1: if this offensive line stays the configuration what it is

1543
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: will get better and better together, but we'll see how

1544
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: that goes. I mentioned earlier in the show Kenyan Green

1545
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: is back. He has been activated back to the roster,

1546
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: so we'll see if he steps into a starting role,

1547
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: if he is the sixth lineman. How they use Kenyon

1548
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: going forward, I don't know. We'll find out very very quickly.

1549
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: But I liked the configuration they had the other day.

1550
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned it to Titus and the locker room man.

1551
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Just doing what he did for the team man, that

1552
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: was huge. That's absolutely huge, because andre Ware said, not

1553
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: only was he going from tackle to guard, he's going

1554
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,719
Speaker 1: from right to left and those are two massive things

1555
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: for an offensive linemen. He seemed to handle it pretty well.

1556
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: Another guy who handles things very very well is my man,

1557
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty. We have podcasts called in the Lab, and

1558
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: this week we talked a little bit about that win,

1559
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: but then we talked a lot about who we thought

1560
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 1: would be the cream of the Croppers last week and

1561
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: how that turned out, and who we think will be

1562
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: the cream of the Croppers for this mega matchup up

1563
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,919
Speaker 1: in Kansas City against the Chiefs.

1564
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,839
Speaker 9: Here we go, This is in the Lab presented by Exfinity.

1565
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,799
Speaker 9: This is a fun one, John, Texans are Division champs,

1566
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,520
Speaker 9: Division champs.

1567
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 2: Vision Champs.

1568
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 9: Last week, you and I we were opprescient. We talked about, Hey,

1569
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 9: if the Texans win on Sunday, it's gonna because this

1570
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 9: guy was a Cream of the Crop award winner, and

1571
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 9: I said, I think it's gonna be because of Derek Stingley.

1572
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 2: That's right.

1573
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 9: Boy, didn't I look smart? But listen, it was an

1574
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 9: obvious choice, and he more than delivered the goods.

1575
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 4: Two TFLs, the.

1576
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 9: Two fourth quarter interceptions, and man, we all know the

1577
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 9: one that closed out the game, but that other one,

1578
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 9: the first one textbook and it was just as important

1579
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 9: because that was like the thirteenth play of that drive

1580
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 9: and they're marching down the field. Imagine if they get

1581
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 9: in the end zone, how deflating that feels, how much

1582
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 9: that changes the tenor and the tone of the game.

1583
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 4: They're extingly monstrous. So the Texans move on in that one.

1584
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 9: And before we move on to talk about this matchup

1585
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 9: with the Chiefs, I just want to give him a

1586
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 9: shout out because we haven't heard much about it. Yes,

1587
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,759
Speaker 9: the Texan special teams pulls off that awesome fake punt.

1588
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 4: I love fake punts. It worked out great.

1589
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 9: You and I Chi chatted on Saturday or in the

1590
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 9: Navy Army game about that one, but not getting a

1591
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 9: lot of pub take.

1592
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 4: Dell outstanding on punt out he was.

1593
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 9: He averaged fifteen Perrie had three, So he really moved

1594
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 9: you forward fifteen yards every time he touched the ball

1595
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 9: on a punt and helped you out with field position.

1596
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 9: Punt returns this season for the Texans have been pretty good.

1597
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1598
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 9: Punting Tommy Rockets been excellent. I mean he's over fifty

1599
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 9: percent as far as getting his punts down inside the

1600
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 9: opponents twenty yep. Brian Anger did that here a couple

1601
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,600
Speaker 9: of years back in nineteen. He was outstanding. Maybe it

1602
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 9: was Yeah, I was nineteen. I think he had the

1603
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 9: franchise record at that time. At least going into last week,

1604
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 9: Townsend was even better than what Anger was doing. So

1605
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:38,440
Speaker 9: the punt game, both punting and receiving and handling gunners,

1606
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 9: both guys of the ball been really big and Demico

1607
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 9: Ryans even talked about it in his miked up you

1608
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 9: know video that's up on Houston Texans dot com. He's like, hey,

1609
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 9: good job on the gunners like he is. This has

1610
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 9: been fantastic by Frank Rossing Company. It was almost a

1611
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,759
Speaker 9: perfect game, almost except for the penalty, the ice.

1612
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 1: And tossing you three points, but not the They were tremendous.

1613
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: The special teams were unbelievable. The execution on the fake punt.

1614
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: I know a lot of times you see a fake punt,

1615
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: it's like just the way it's designed, you catch them

1616
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: off guard, all that kind of stuff. Miami actually had

1617
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: punts safe on the field, and yet.

1618
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 2: The players blocked it up perfectly.

1619
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: Linebacker nevill Hewett, linebacker des Shawn Phillips, linebacker Jake Hanson,

1620
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: and then Dylan Horton defensive end did like a pulling

1621
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 1: guard move.

1622
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 2: And the ball handling was great with MJ and d A.

1623
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was tremendous.

1624
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 1: And you were the one to actually put fake pun

1625
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: in my head because the day before of the Army

1626
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: Navy game, we're watching and you would actually I was

1627
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: behind in the game and you had learned me to

1628
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: a fake punted Navy ran. I'm like, okay, thanks, Dreue.

1629
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: You kind of blew it. I know it's coming, but

1630
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 1: then I saw it. I mentioned that to Tim Settle

1631
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: when we interviewed of what you had said, and he's like, yeah, man,

1632
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 1: I'll handle the football. Yeah, absolutely, And then he told

1633
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: his story, a great story about how he had had

1634
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: kickoff returns in the NFL Wich.

1635
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 2: I thought it was fantastic.

1636
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: So either way, he's got two kickoff returns for twenty yards,

1637
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: which I'm like, yeah, I put that on your mantle

1638
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: either way. The Yeah, the special teams were fantastic my

1639
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, you were cream of the

1640
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: crop being Derek Stingley. That was the That was the

1641
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: perfect pick because when you're facing Tyreek and that offense, Man,

1642
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to pick your corner to be the cream

1643
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: of the crop guy. You talk about it like, man,

1644
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: he's got to play well to win, he's got to

1645
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: play well. Stingley and I have played well. He I mean,

1646
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: he was a different planet. I mean Tyreek had two

1647
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,839
Speaker 1: catches for thirty six yards. He was targeted seven times.

1648
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: What I loved drew about especially the first pick. First

1649
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: of all, the route matching and mirroring was tremendous. But

1650
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 1: Tyreek went into this slot and when he went into

1651
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: the slot, sting went with him, so everybody on the

1652
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Dolphin's sideline knows that's man coverage. Into a knew it.

1653
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: He had to look over there and go, oh, they

1654
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: told me what it is. Look, it's Stingley on Tyre. Okay,

1655
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: I know where I'm going with this ball. So he

1656
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 1: tries to go there and sting still beat it. Yeah,

1657
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: that's the thing to me. Everybody in the building new

1658
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:15,759
Speaker 1: that's man and man coverage. That's Tyreek Hill. He doesn't

1659
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,720
Speaker 1: lose one on one and Stingley ate him alive and

1660
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: then stole the ball from him on the second interception.

1661
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,680
Speaker 1: So your use of Derek Stingley as cream of the

1662
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 1: crop was perfect. Mine was Titus Howard, and Titus came

1663
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: into play in a different realm. I thought, facing Chop

1664
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: Robinson that was going to be a tough go. But

1665
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: Titus was asked moved to left guard, play at a position,

1666
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: and then Blake Fisher's stepping in at right tackle, and

1667
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: the Texans gave up the least amount of pressures I

1668
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:47,639
Speaker 1: think all year long, with eight.

1669
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 2: Now, they gave up.

1670
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Some sacks because there was a particular stunt they were

1671
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: struggling with, but they only gave up eight pressures and

1672
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that really helped CJ.

1673
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 2: Stroud. You could tell it helped the passing game.

1674
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: CJ was very curate with the football and that was

1675
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 1: because he had some time to throw. Got comfortable back there,

1676
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: and you know, they'll clean some things up. But I

1677
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: think that's the offensive line going forward. So both of

1678
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: the guys that we chose for chose I got. I

1679
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: didn't know that Titus was moving over to guard, but

1680
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 1: that said that Titus ends up being a cream of

1681
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: the crop move because you needed that to happen and

1682
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: you needed that group to play well. And I thought

1683
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: Titus more than Arizona Guarden, did a really good job

1684
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: moving over there. Because I think it was I think

1685
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: it was Necessaria that said it and brought it to

1686
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 1: our attention.

1687
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 2: Maybe it's one of our guests.

1688
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: No, it was Andre Waerris at this He not only

1689
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: went from right side to left side, he went from

1690
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 1: tackle to guard too, and those are two massive moves

1691
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: and he handled it pretty pretty well.

1692
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 9: Yes, so Texans playing at the Chiefs. I think Patrick

1693
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 9: Mahomes goes. Yeah, I think he plays. They sent Carson

1694
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 9: Wentz to the podium on Tuesday, which was like a Wednesday, yep.

1695
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 9: Because the game's on Saturday, so everything's moved forward to day.

1696
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 9: But Patrick Mahomes is listed as a full participant, So

1697
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 9: they're trying to win for a lot of the same

1698
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 9: reasons that the Texans are trying to win, because seeding

1699
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 9: is impacted. But also you still haven't you haven't been

1700
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 9: humming at the highest level offensively, and you want to

1701
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 9: work on some kinks and get some things better. So

1702
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 9: I think he plays now. I could be wrong, but

1703
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 9: I think you're gonna see Mahomes out there and see Mahomes.

1704
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's that's absolutely one thousand percent tru

1705
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm expecting now. As you do

1706
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: every single week, and maybe you spend a little bit

1707
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: more time on Carson Wentz because he did have to

1708
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: go into last week's game. You probably will spend a

1709
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: little bit more time on a short week preparing for

1710
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, but the bulk of the preparation is going

1711
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: to be I'm with you, Patrick Mahomes are gonna play

1712
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: in this game. They need to out of the they

1713
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 1: need to win two out of the last three to

1714
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: keep things in their hands to end up getting that BUYE.

1715
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: And I'll put him at fifteen to two. But the

1716
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 1: Bills aren't losing again. They're played the Patriots twice and

1717
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: the Jets once. They're not losing, so it's forcing the

1718
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: Thieves to have to go in because they only lost.

1719
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have is to the Bill, so they would

1720
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: lose a tie breaker if they have tied. And the

1721
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 1: last thing you want after being the number one team

1722
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: all season basically is you get tripped up at the

1723
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: end with the hardest part of your schedule.

1724
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 2: And that's that's the tough part for the Chiefs.

1725
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: They play us, they play the Steelers, they play the

1726
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Broncos at Denver, at Pittsburgh. That's tough. Patrick Mahomes is playing.

1727
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: He knows how important this one is. He wants that

1728
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: bye week. They know what that means to get that

1729
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:29,719
Speaker 1: bye week, so he's gonna play.

1730
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 4: I'm with you, all right.

1731
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 9: Let's raise a medello to another our eighth AFC South title.

1732
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 9: Boom rats the Texans. That's awesome. Eight john since twenty eleven.

1733
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 9: Nothing to sneeze at.

1734
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

1735
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 9: Second fastest clinch date. The first one was the first

1736
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 9: one in twenty eleven. They clinched December eleventh, oh nice,

1737
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 9: week fourteen.

1738
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 2: They realized early.

1739
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very very early.

1740
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 2: I know it was early, but man, that's really wow.

1741
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 9: So second fastest, and then they clinched it a day

1742
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 9: after this year this year's clinching, they clinched a day

1743
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 9: later in twenty twelve. So let's move on to cream

1744
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 9: of the crop for this game. I know where you're

1745
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 9: gonna go. I'm almost positive. So what I'm gonna do is,

1746
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 9: well you do, huh? I think I do. I'm gonna

1747
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 9: go with our old pal number twelve, not Tom Brady,

1748
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 9: but Nico Carlin, our number twelve. And before we get

1749
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 9: into Nico Collins number twelve, and why he's my cream

1750
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 9: of the crop choice, let's shout out my son Robert

1751
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,600
Speaker 9: Doherty because played his first year tackle football for the

1752
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 9: Wyoming Cowboys. They were undefeated in the regular season, got

1753
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 9: all the way the semis played really well, and he

1754
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 9: chose number twelve. This year. He got his jersey and

1755
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 9: at practice and had Doherty on the back and they

1756
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 9: had sweet white, yellow, brown and white. Those are some

1757
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 9: awesome jerseys. Yeah, they're like, oh, twelve like Tom Brady.

1758
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 9: And he turned he said, no, I chose twelve because

1759
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 9: of Nico Catt.

1760
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 2: There you go.

1761
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 4: So he's a big Kniek awesome.

1762
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is well done, Doherty family. That's right.

1763
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 9: So I got Nico because this I think is an

1764
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:06,760
Speaker 9: advantageous matchup for him.

1765
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 4: It's a good defense. Chiefs are a good defense.

1766
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 9: But he's gonna be playing against corners who are playing

1767
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 9: out a position. I think he can do some things.

1768
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 9: I don't know that we're gonna see Steven Nelson so much.

1769
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 9: He's you know, yeah, that's Steven Nelson, Texan. Steven Nelson.

1770
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,679
Speaker 9: He's been on the practice squad. Andy Reid on Tuesday

1771
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 9: said might not be ready quite yet. Yeah, so it

1772
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 9: might be like a Christmas thing for Steven Nelson. How

1773
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 9: about that? If he were to play this Saturday, his

1774
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 9: first two games would be against former teams Steelers, Texans

1775
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 9: and Steelers. But it sort of sounds like he's not

1776
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 9: gonna go against Texans. But if he does, what do

1777
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 9: you see? But I think I'm gonna go with Nico Collins.

1778
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 9: I think Nico Collins has a big, big game, had

1779
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 9: two touchdowns last week. The yards weren't voluminous, but you

1780
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 9: gotta remember who was he going against? Maybe the best

1781
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 9: corner of the game. Maybe the best corner of the

1782
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 9: game might be on our team and Derek Stingley. But

1783
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 9: Jalen Ramsey has an argument. You can make that argument.

1784
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 9: He's always awesome, so as Patrick's are ten. But I

1785
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 9: like Stingle. I'm gonna roll with Stanley. But let me

1786
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 9: see Nico Collins Cream of the Crop Award winner Crop.

1787
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 9: Thank you, Macha man Raandy Savage. We all we thought

1788
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 9: we forgot to get that in, but we got it in.

1789
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with Nico Collins. Johnny like that.

1790
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 4: You cool?

1791
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I'm curious who you thought I was gonna say.

1792
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:21,679
Speaker 4: I want you to say it, and then I'll say after.

1793
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 2: Okay, because mine is Henry Toatoa.

1794
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:25,600
Speaker 4: No, that's not who I thought. I did not think that.

1795
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought you're gonna go in your offensive line again,

1796
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:30,759
Speaker 9: Chris Jones being on their offensive.

1797
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 2: So I'm going defensive. And so here's why I'm going

1798
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 2: Henry because.

1799
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 4: He's been the reason this year. He's been awesome this year.

1800
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 2: Been fantastic this year.

1801
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 1: I saw somebody tweet, man, I can't wait till he's

1802
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: He's and Christian Harris is back together, and I'm like

1803
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: bro the best one of the three best defensive players

1804
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: on this team is Henry toatoa, you did not take

1805
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: thirty nine off the field, so the other day with

1806
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: AZA's out, Henry stepped in.

1807
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 2: Now when Disease was out.

1808
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: Earlier in the year with the injury, Neville Hewitt wore

1809
01:22:56,160 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 1: the green dot and was the communications piece. While you

1810
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 1: know Henry, you know, played every snap, but it was

1811
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: never who wore the green dot. This past week, it

1812
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: was Henry wearing a green dot. So number one, that's

1813
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: a huge responsibility. Yep, I'm watching. The communication for them

1814
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 1: is very difficult at home because our fans are getting

1815
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,639
Speaker 1: loud when they're on defense. So the communication a lot

1816
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: of hand signals, a lot of hand gestures to make

1817
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 1: sure everybody's on the same page. Everybody's on the same page. Yeah,

1818
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: now Kansas City is gonna be.

1819
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 2: A little different. Now you can communicate a little bit better.

1820
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 1: But Henry is that guy, because a there'll be times

1821
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,879
Speaker 1: where he's gonna have to be somewhere in the vicinity

1822
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: of Travis Kelcey Noah Gray and Travis kelce numbers may

1823
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: not be as voluminous as they normally are.

1824
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 4: Pretty good and he's still a Pro Football Hall of Famer.

1825
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: So running back Isaiah pa Checko is a problem, and

1826
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna be Henry toato at times to have to

1827
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: handle Isaiah pa check went on a run game, but

1828
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: in the past game, he's obviously got to get everybody

1829
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: lined up. He's got everybody in the same page. But

1830
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: maybe the most important thing for Henry this week is

1831
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: when fifteen gets out of the pocket and.

1832
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 2: He's gonna get out of pocket. I don't care what

1833
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 2: that ankle is.

1834
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: When he gets out of the pocket, Henry has to

1835
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: arrive and make Patrick Mahomes throw the football well before

1836
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: he wants to throw it, and that can be a problem.

1837
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 2: And think back to the playoff game at twenty nineteen.

1838
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: Rather linebackers were like our linebackers were not, as they

1839
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: would run to Patrick, but they didn't get there fast

1840
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: enough and they allow Patrick to make some plays on

1841
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 1: the move the pack. The Texans pass rush got Patrick

1842
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: to move, and the Texans pass rush has gotten Patrick

1843
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: to move over the years how many times they faced him.

1844
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: But when he gets out of the pocket, you can't

1845
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 1: let him. Well, where am I going to throw this ball?

1846
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 2: What am I gonna do? That decision has to be

1847
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 2: made right now.

1848
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 1: You have to force him into that decision, like, oh,

1849
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,640
Speaker 1: you can't just allow him to a lollygag out and just.

1850
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 2: Keep it eyes.

1851
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,759
Speaker 1: Henry has to be there as soon as he breaks

1852
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 1: contained and makes make a decision with the football, well

1853
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: earlier than he wants now. If I had to give

1854
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 1: a secondary cream of the cropper, I would say it's

1855
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: the safeties keeping exam if you're worthy in front. They

1856
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 1: did a great job of keeping the plays in front

1857
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 1: the other day, and then Demiko ran a couple of coverages.

1858
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: Actually one coverage that was great that got Kaylen Bullock

1859
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: a knockdown in an interception that really basically.

1860
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 2: He got to it with that one.

1861
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: But they were able to play top down, kept everything

1862
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,919
Speaker 1: in front. They only had one explosive play, But Mahomes

1863
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: is going to create explosive plays when he gets out

1864
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: of the pocket. I would love to see them push

1865
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 1: him left, but sometimes that's not what he wants to do.

1866
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 1: He waits for that opportunity to get out to the

1867
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 1: right where he can then throw, you know, like a

1868
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 1: shortstop like he used to be baseball player, used to be.

1869
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 2: Henry's got to be on that. I know Christian's back.

1870
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how Christian's body.

1871
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 1: Will respond to playing a game in six days after

1872
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 1: not having played all year.

1873
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 2: Hopefully he'll be okay. But I think Henry.

1874
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: With all the responsibility he has wearing a green dock

1875
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 1: and everybody communicated, then chasing after Patrick Mahomes, it's big.

1876
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: But Henry has elevated himself to that status on this

1877
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: team where he is one of the most important players

1878
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:14,600
Speaker 1: on this team. You can make case he's one of

1879
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: the three most important on defense and this is a

1880
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 1: top three defense in the league. He's that important to

1881
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 1: this team. So Henry Toatoa is my creamy, the cropper

1882
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 1: for this week.

1883
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 9: It's a great choice. Maybe the undersung, most undersung player

1884
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:30,799
Speaker 9: on the entire team, but certainly on the defense, most undersung.

1885
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: Yes, I yeah with I mean with Will and with Danil,

1886
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: with what Sting's doing. You know, obviously his ease with

1887
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: all the attention he got, you know last week with

1888
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 1: the hit on Trevor and all that kind of stuff.

1889
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 2: You know, the rookies last.

1890
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 1: And Bullock, you know, even they're getting a little bit

1891
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 1: of love because you know everybody's doing.

1892
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 2: Right up and stuff.

1893
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Henry is definitely one that gets glossed over a

1894
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: little fine. I should say it's fine, but keep missing it, folks,

1895
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,919
Speaker 1: because he's gonna keep playing well and you're eventually gonna go, hey,

1896
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 1: wait a second. Henry Toatoe, it's pretty good. We've been

1897
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: saying that for a while, but he has been even

1898
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: better than good lately.

1899
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 9: All right, excuse me, since you brought it up. I

1900
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 9: wasn't gonna go there, didn't even think about it. But

1901
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 9: you brought up the twenty nineteen playoff game. I did so,

1902
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 9: I did. This is in the lab. Yeah, and we

1903
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 9: dork out from time to time about certain things and

1904
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 9: we grow deep. So one moment from that game that

1905
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 9: you would like back, or a do over from the

1906
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 9: playoff game. I go first, you go second. The one

1907
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 9: I want back is it's twenty one to nothing. It's

1908
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 9: third down the Texans. It's third and long, and the

1909
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 9: Texans dump it down to Duke Johnson. He wiggles forward

1910
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 9: and gets to within a yard. I mean, it's if

1911
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 9: it's born in yard, it's not by much.

1912
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 2: Yep.

1913
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 9: So it's fourth and one, very deep deep in Kansas

1914
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 9: City Chiefs territory. You hesitate, and you wind up kicking

1915
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 9: a field goal to make it twenty four. If I

1916
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 9: could have a do over, I would have them rush

1917
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 9: to the line, do a bootleg roll out with an

1918
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 9: option to run it and keep it and run it

1919
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 9: or throw it to a to Darren Fell's or somebody

1920
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 9: else underneath. I think you get a first down there,

1921
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 9: maybe even a touchdown. He puts it to twenty eight nothing,

1922
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 9: and that's a lot different than what wound up happening,

1923
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 9: so perfect world. You get the first down and then

1924
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 9: you burn a little another little minute or two off

1925
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 9: the clock, and then it's at about eight nine minutes

1926
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:32,639
Speaker 9: to go in the second quarter and you're up twenty

1927
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 9: eight to nothing. They the fans were booing, the Chiefs

1928
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 9: the homegrownd fan doing because it was a same old story,

1929
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 9: same old story for the last few decades. Yep, great season,

1930
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 9: but we crumble in the playoffs and I think that

1931
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,639
Speaker 9: takes over and that team doesn't move on. So that's

1932
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 9: my do over. That's what I would like back.

1933
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 6: So what did we.

1934
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 2: Start this podcast this week?

1935
01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: Talking about what units were really really good against the

1936
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins that we gave.

1937
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,719
Speaker 9: A lot of credit defense and special teams special teams.

1938
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 9: So you can take your pick one and let me

1939
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 9: before you go into it. Special teams. At that juncture

1940
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,679
Speaker 9: of the game that I was talking about, had blocked

1941
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 9: a punt for a touchdown, but on top of that

1942
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:23,639
Speaker 9: had been absolutely lights out then kickoff coverage.

1943
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: They had recovered a Tyreek kill fumba on a pot too. Yeah, hey,

1944
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 1: they were killing.

1945
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 9: It, and they were kicking off short of the goal

1946
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 9: line and stopping them like in between the ten and twenty,

1947
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:34,600
Speaker 9: so it was long fields.

1948
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,560
Speaker 2: And then the damn broke.

1949
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 9: Right after that field goal that I just mentioned that

1950
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 9: you took instead of going for them.

1951
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: But I can live with physical mistakes. Yeah, okay, I

1952
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 1: would have loved to have stopped me Ko Hartman. I

1953
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: could live with a physical mistake. I could live with

1954
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: the physical mistake of Danzel Carter. Jandre Carter dropped.

1955
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 9: Fumbled the ball because he'd been outstanding that those are

1956
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 9: physical mistakes.

1957
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 1: Those think you don't want to happen and you don't

1958
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: need it to happen. But the decision to fake the

1959
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 1: punt was an absolute abysmal one.

1960
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd change it. Just punt it.

1961
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 1: See if you can play defense now, maybe they got hot,

1962
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: maybe they had found something. I don't care, but don't

1963
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: give them something at that point.

1964
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:19,200
Speaker 2: That one i'd.

1965
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:22,280
Speaker 1: Take back just to see. Okay, yeah, we're gonna make mistakes.

1966
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you do stop them, you know, maybe it doesn't

1967
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 1: turn out to be a kickoff.

1968
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 2: Maybe you hold them to a fieldal because they gotta

1969
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 2: go full field. Who knows. But I can live with

1970
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 2: physical mistakes for.

1971
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,879
Speaker 1: The most part. I don't like fumbles on kickoffs. But yeah,

1972
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 1: that fake punt had no business being run. They knew

1973
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: exactly what was coming. Dan Sorenson ran Justin down and ironically,

1974
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:49,840
Speaker 1: now Justin's on the other side. How about that in

1975
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen against think about twenty nineteen.

1976
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:54,240
Speaker 6: For a second.

1977
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:58,840
Speaker 1: You could argue that in net regular season game, who

1978
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 1: made the biggest plays in that game? Well, Justin made

1979
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: one defensively, Charles Amena, who made the sack right before

1980
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 1: the half that put it into a touchdown. Andy Andre

1981
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:09,559
Speaker 1: Hopkins has the fourth down catch.

1982
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 2: They all wear red.

1983
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, bo, things are different, but that that fake

1984
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 1: punt just well, take it back, Yeah, take it back,

1985
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 1: take it back, Take it back.

1986
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 9: If you happen to see read or Hopkins, give him

1987
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 9: a bro hoy, Hey, Drew says, hello, and misusus I.

1988
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:30,880
Speaker 2: Will I will tell them that for sure. Absolutely.

1989
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,600
Speaker 9: All right, hey man, we'll do this probably Monday. We

1990
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 9: might not be in this locale. You might be elsewhere.

1991
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 9: I might be elsewhere, but we're gonna do one before

1992
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 9: the Ravens game, and hopefully we're revisiting how brilliant our

1993
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 9: cream of the crop choices were for the Texans and

1994
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 9: a Texans win over the Chiefs. But I love doing this.

1995
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:50,439
Speaker 9: It's a lot of fun. I know I love it.

1996
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,280

2021
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to all of that now. I mentioned earlier

2022
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:09,320
Speaker 1: that Derek Stingley Junior won AFC Defensive Player of the Week.

2023
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 2: It's the second honor in about a calendar year.

2024
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 1: He got in Week thirteen last year for the two

2025
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 1: interception performance against the Denver Broncos. He gets it again

2026
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 1: for another two interception performance against the Miami Dolphins. I mean,

2027
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 1: he's the number one corner of the league just don't

2028
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 1: even there's no argument.

2029
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 2: It really is not argument. Even though Sauce Gardner had

2030
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 2: an interception against the.

2031
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 1: Jaguars, it was basically an arm punt by Mac Jones.

2032
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: But either way, Texans Derek Stinglee wins AFC Defensive Player

2033
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: of the Week NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

2034
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:43,080
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting too.

2035
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 1: Because it is former Aggie linebacker Edrin Cooper. I studied Cooper.

2036
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: It was in the twenty twenty one season, and I'm

2037
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:58,559
Speaker 1: like this, dude, Wow, he's got juice. I put him

2038
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:00,679
Speaker 1: in my Harrison one Hunter going into twenty two. Then

2039
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 1: he didn't really have a good twenty twenty two, didn't

2040
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,639
Speaker 1: really adapt to defense all that Well, just look kind

2041
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 1: of loss of times. Okay, we'll see he's got twenty

2042
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 1: twenty three. Well, in twenty twenty three he was all

2043
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: over the place. I thought, Okay, that's more like what

2044
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: I saw in twenty one. I want to say that

2045
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 1: I ended up making a mindbacker one for me, well

2046
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 1: for the Packers. This past week. He was NFC Defensive

2047
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:27,080
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Congratulations to Drin Cooper, the rookie

2048
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 1: out of Texas. A and M News News News Now

2049
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: A little bit of this came last night. I think

2050
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 1: it was probably around eight or nine o'clock. I ended

2051
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:40,480
Speaker 1: up seeing this news. The Falcons are benching Kirk Cousins

2052
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:45,360
Speaker 1: and Michael Pennix, the number eight overall pick of the

2053
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four NFL Draft, will start hence fourth for

2054
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:51,879
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins.

2055
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,520
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what this means for Cousins in Atlanta.

2056
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Who knows Michael Pennix had injury issues when he was

2057
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,360
Speaker 1: at Washington. He's gotta stay healthy. But I know that

2058
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: the Falcons brass really liked having him. And I said

2059
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 1: this to Mark, it was the right thing to draft

2060
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 1: Panis because this draft class at quarterbacks, Penix's would be

2061
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:13,559
Speaker 1: better than any quarterback that's in that draft class, better

2062
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 1: than any of them. So see what Michael Penix has

2063
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: got this weekend. As Kirk Cousins is a bench. There's

2064
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 1: still a lot of money owed to Cousins. But away

2065
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:24,600
Speaker 1: we go. Speaking of benching, the Will Levis experience is

2066
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: over for the time being.

2067
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 2: In Tennessee.

2068
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 1: They will start Mason Rudolph against the Colts up in Indy.

2069
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 2: That doesn't really.

2070
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Matter a whole lot, but it's an AFC cell story,

2071
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 1: so we put it together right there. Appreciate you guys
