1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday, final three 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: games of the season. They are all AFC South teams 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: first up, the Titans, and I would not have it 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: any other way. And I wouldn't have it any other way. 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: But then to have Mark Vandamer and Drew Doherty joining 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: me once again, We've just got a few of these 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: shows left. Want me to make people wonder right off 8 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: the bat. So our sister station one hundred point three 9 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: KLTFM used to have what's that sound? What does that 10 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: sound like? Mark is cracking his back his knuckles. It's 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: actually the water bottles that the players use have these 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: caps that twist off and they they're aluminum. So so 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: you really had to do that on the air as 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: soon as the show, of course I did doing it. Awesome. 15 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: Nobody brought me a water sorry cafe? All right, Well, 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: I'll just have to get through this this show thirsty 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: um water wise not otherwise? All right? So final three 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: games is pause? No a graceful way to recover from that. 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: It's well, you could have just let it go. No, 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: I couldn't have because people listening would have been like 21 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: a hah, she just said she's thrusty I don't know 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: a lot of these listeners. Women can't get away with someone. 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: You can't say that. Women can't say that can't either. 24 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: I went to I got my MBA from University of Houston, 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: and so people would say, you know, what's your alma mater, 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: and I like realized very quickly I couldn't say I'm 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: a cougar, especially the older I got. I was like, 28 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: I can't say I'm a cougar. Right, that's my boiler 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: maker because that's where I did my undergrad But I 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: cannot say that's one of my stock jokes. When I'm 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: public speaking, you know, or I'm seeing something. How many 32 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: longhorns do we have in the audience? People raise her 33 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: how many aggies? And I say, how many cougars? Not 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: that kind of cougar, you know. I would roll my 35 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: eyes away, say well, I just don't you need to 36 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: bring like a cassio synthesizer with like a pre made 37 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: shot for you from rim shot. Sure, or maybe just 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: pull up your cell phone. You could probably do that. 39 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: Let's what your bottle of water started getting of a 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: Texans all. I just thought I'd get right into the 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: tangent radio because that's what it is. Sometimes we're going 42 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: tangent heavy in the second or third segment, whatever you want, 43 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: one twelve and one, Yeah and yeah. But how about 44 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: the way they've been playing so hard? I mean, these 45 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: games have been so exciting they feel like I'm not 46 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: kidding Dallas during the broadcast and Kansas City during the 47 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: broadcast it felt playoff. Like I'm not gonna say it 48 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: was a playoff game, but it just felt the intensity 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: was there because these these teams you're facing, they need 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: these games badly, and the Texans want to win them badly. 51 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: And I know you guys have been asking the players 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: and so have I. The resounding battlecry is not just 53 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: we want to win, but we want to put good 54 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: stuff on tape. Careers are on the line, and that's 55 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: serious stuff. It's professional sports. So whatever it takes, I'm 56 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: here for it because these have been exciting outings. Yeah. 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: Shows you the juxtaposition between players' mindsets and fans minds. Understandably, 58 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: a lot of fans are already looking ahead to twenty three, 59 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: twenty four. They're thinking about the draft, no big deal 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: that that's understandable. But these guys that are out there 61 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: actually in between the lines, and playing this means everything 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: because this might be the very last time we see 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: some of these guys ever playing a football game. These 64 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: last three weeks, some guys aren't going to be here 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: next year. It'll be with another team because of what 66 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: they're able to put on tape over this and then another. 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: You know, other guys want to still be here and 68 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: want to be part of you know what they think 69 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and is an ascent upwards. So yeah, it's it's vastly 70 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: different what's going through their minds versus what's going through 71 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: many people's minds. And that's only natural, isn't it. I think, 72 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, just if if the Texans had just pulled 73 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: out a win against Kansas City a more time, can 74 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: you just imagine? Because I feel like even after losing 75 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: to Dallas the way that this team did, the headlines 76 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: the entire for the next three days were is Dallas 77 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: the real deal? They're not the real Dallas. They are not. 78 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: And I think now people are asking those same questions 79 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. But I think to pull out a win, 80 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, people are worried about the draft position for 81 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: the Texans. That's not in jeopardy, folks. I was not 82 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: going anywhere right now, But it would be nice to 83 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: get a win because I feel like it sort of 84 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: propels you into the next few weeks. You made me 85 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: think of something with the Chiefs like they were. There 86 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: was a lot of complaining on their end after what 87 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: looked like just hard football hits from the Texans throughout 88 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: the game, and it just like, hey, what are you 89 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: guys doing? Like why are you It's yeah, in my mind, 90 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: are we playing football? What are we doing here? We're 91 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: supposed to lay down? And then the way they celebrate 92 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: at the end. You're always going to celebrate a win. 93 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: But they they got away with one. Yeah, they got 94 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: away with one. And I was just I I think 95 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm all Bills. As far as my team that I 96 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: believe is gonna win now, I don't, Yeah, I don't. 97 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs. I don't think the Cowboys 98 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: for sure. Those guys are pretending. Honestly, I would not 99 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: right off the Cowboys. I mean, if I will emotional 100 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm never emotionally involved with the Max. I want them 101 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: to lose bad La sure, but I don't think I 102 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: could write off anybody. I look at last year, remember 103 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: that divisional round where all four games were decided on 104 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: the final play right with three kicks and what was 105 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: it an overtime touchdown or something whatever, it was final moments. 106 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: And I think that it could be anybody who gets 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: hot in the postseason. The Rams got hot last year. 108 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: They survived Tampa Bay, they survived the NFC Championship game 109 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, they survived the Super Bowl. 110 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: The Bengals were driving Lake, could have, would have, should 111 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: have done more. Whatever. I think it's wide open for 112 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: anybody to win the Super Bowl. Who makes the playoff 113 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: field virtually anybody, anybody but the Cowboys ever writting them off, 114 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: So that's fine. Well you also rode off Patrick Mahomes 115 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: in the Chiefs. I'm not ready to write them off, 116 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: but totally write them off. But the way they of 117 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys the last two weeks, I mean, what was 118 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: it Denver and the Texans two teams they should have 119 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: should have beat handily by their own standards, and they didn't. 120 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: But I just think that, you know, it's the Chiefs. 121 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,679 Speaker 1: You can't discount too tough. It's too tough this league. 122 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: This is a seven going to give you a game 123 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: like that? Yeah, well, no one should give you a game, 124 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: and the Texans aren't going to give anybody a game. 125 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: And I think that it's just difficult to navigate through 126 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: a schedule, especially when you're supposed not especially, but in addition, 127 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: when you're supposed to win, when you're the favored team, 128 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: the other team's gonna rise up. They don't want to 129 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: get embarrassed, right And I'm not saying you're gonna let 130 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: down if you're the Chiefs, not at all, but you're 131 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: gonna get everybody's best game. And that's what they're getting 132 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: this year. They got Denver's best. That's a division game 133 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: where anything can happen, and the Texans have taken on 134 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs a lot. Look, I was a little surprised 135 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: it was that close for a while because I expected 136 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: more out of that Chief's offense and the Texans, although 137 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: they allowed a lot of yardage, the point total was low. 138 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: They got the turnovers and scored right off of them 139 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: on the ensuing drives, the ensuing possession, which I don't 140 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: know that they've done at all this year. As far 141 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: as get the turnover and score a touchdown, they've done 142 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: it a few times, I think, but I don't think 143 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: they were as successful as they were on the way, 144 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: the way they were Sunday, Well, they've been closer or 145 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: even in that Cleveland game, they've they've been close. Even 146 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: against Dallas, they've been closer to scoring after a turnover 147 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: and still not scored. And it was nice to see, 148 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: yeah converts some of those uh those takeovers. After the game, 149 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in his postgame press conference was talking about 150 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: the number of blitzes that were dialed up earlier by Love, 151 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: which I noticed too. I thought, wow, this, well, this 152 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: is the Christian Kirksey sacking in the cashman sack. Amazing. 153 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: He looked, I mean, they looked surprised. They looked like 154 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: they just they couldn't really execute. You got to you 155 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: gotta give kudos to what Love he was able to 156 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: drop up on Sunday. I mean, to me, the fact 157 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: that you've got to stop in overtime. And I talked 158 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. What happens when the Chiefs get the 159 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: coin toss their way in overtime they win. It's oh. 160 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: I immediately was like, that's it. Like he couldn't even 161 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: play right, Yeah, and then the Texans get the big stop. 162 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: I thought, Now, I didn't think it was automatic victory 163 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: after that. Believe me, I knew you had a long 164 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: way to go. You get the ball, You're fifteen. That's 165 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: a long drive you gotta put together, even for a 166 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: field goal. But even you didn't expected to go to that. 167 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: The way the ball came, oh gosh, came out of 168 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: Mills's hands after they hit by Clark was like shoo, 169 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: you know it just it was almost like that that 170 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: quarterback sneak fumbled by Kyle Allen, where all of a 171 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: sudden the ball is just launched out of there in 172 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: a different way. Obviously, the balls launched out of there, 173 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, please just recover this. They couldn't 174 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: do it. So that's too bad. But you take out 175 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: the Titans on Saturday, Christmas Eve, and I'm here for it. Man. 176 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: They've lost four in a row, really very very nervously 177 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: tough spot. Like when we faced them earlier on in 178 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: the year, they were at the top of the AFC South. 179 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: They I they had what a four or five game 180 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: win streak. I think the Texans was the last team 181 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: that they made before that streak end. So they've lost 182 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: these last four. They started the season oh and two, 183 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: but in between they were seven and one in that stretch, 184 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: so they were seven and three after they you know, 185 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: at the end of that high streak that they were 186 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: going through. Yeah, they were riding high. And look they 187 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: came close against the Charge but lost. This is still 188 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: a very good football team. They're having some tough times 189 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: right now. Now it's a division game. Anything can happen. 190 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: We all know it. I asked Mike Keith, voice of 191 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: the Titans. You'll hear that interview tomorrow night about the Jaguars, 192 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: because the Jaguars beat him pretty good in Nashville. He said, 193 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are for real. Yeah, they are for real 194 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: as far as division title contenders. We'll see about the 195 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: rest of it later. But the thing about the Jaguars 196 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: is they're the healthiest team in the league. They've lost 197 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: a fewest starter starts two injuries than any team in 198 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: the NFL, and that's huge. All able to work together, 199 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: stick together, be together, and the results are showing on 200 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: the field. So the Jaguars control their destiny. If they 201 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: win out, they win the division, period, doesn't matter what 202 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: the Titans do, because they're going to host the Titans 203 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: in the final game of the season and they're only 204 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: a game back and they will have swept them. That 205 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: is really interesting stuff. And I think the Texans folks, 206 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: oh nine and one in games that are within four 207 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: or six in the fourth quarter, either leading or trailing, 208 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: very close fourth quarter games, your own nine in one 209 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: of those games. If you were five hundred in those games, 210 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: you'd be six and eight right now and maybe in 211 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: the jaguar spot in contention for a potential AFC South title. 212 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: It's kind of a mid teens type AFC South battle, 213 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: but I'll take it, man, I want one of those. 214 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: I just wonder about momentum and A how true it is? 215 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: B How does momentum change if instead of tying in 216 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: week one, you just close those guys out and you 217 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: beat the Colts in regulation and you start off one 218 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: and oh, how much different is the momentum at that point? 219 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: Do you go on to Denver and take care of 220 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: a pretty down Broncos team the next week? Do you 221 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: go up to Chicago see a struggling Bears team in 222 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: week three? Are you three? And ozho? If you actually 223 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: close out the Colts in week one, and it's if 224 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: some butts candy nuts, So I'll have a Mary Christmas, 225 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: as Don Meredith used to say. But it's just something 226 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: to ponder. And you know, since then, they've lost twelve 227 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: games and you are who your record is. But I 228 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: wonder how much differently things go if they win. Still 229 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: think on offense this team. Now, I know Pierce is 230 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: out right, now, I get the receivers out, I get it, 231 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: I get it. But I still think on offense, they 232 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: have to find their stride somehow, and when Pierce is 233 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: out there running hard. They've been obviously much better in 234 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: the ground attack, but they've never found the passing game 235 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: they're looking for. And look, you have three games left 236 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: to improve on that, but they've never hit their stride 237 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: in that department. And I think until you do, it's 238 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: hard to win those close games because you have to 239 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: make that key thrower too, and sometimes that's easier said 240 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: than done. We got to get into field goal range, 241 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: we got to get that key third down to play 242 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: keep away from the opponent, whatever the case may be. 243 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 1: All right, So driscal Cat, we've seen it. Not singing that. 244 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to be sings. You 245 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: guys doing a lovey it's cold outside duet. You can 246 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: do that I put the lyrics on a platter for 247 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: you yesterday you did. I don't think Mark Shaw hear 248 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: me sing again after less because this will be the 249 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: coldest game in the history of the Tennessee Titans. The yes, 250 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: we can, they're history. That's the projection. You know, we 251 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: won't know until we get there. It'll be the cage. 252 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: Five degrees at kickoff is what they're expecting. Yeah, you know, 253 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: I looked at the forecast like three days ago. It 254 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: was twenty two. We're dropping, like my crypto portfolio. What 255 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: are we doing here? So let me let me back up. 256 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: That's the feels like temperature because Field Yates he tweeted 257 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: out this this uh this picture, and I retweeted it 258 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: of the current feels like temperatures at kickoff of the 259 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: outdoor games this Saturday, Bills at Bears minus eleven, Seahawks 260 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: at Chiefs minus six, Saints at Brown's minus nine, and 261 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: then he's got Texans at Titans at five, Falcons at 262 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: Ravens seven, and then Raiders at Steelers minus four degrees. 263 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: But it feels like that's wind chill at least we're plus. 264 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: Why not just say windchill like well, because it feels 265 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: like I guess you know, there's no winds. It puts 266 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: it in a way that people can understand it better. 267 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: I understand windels like everybody understands. Actually people in Texas don't. 268 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Not everyone has an engineering degree in an NBA like 269 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: you no growing up in the Midwest, growing up in 270 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: the Midwest. This is like when I moved here in 271 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: the first really really cold winter we had, and people 272 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: were talking about wind chill, and I was like, I 273 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: did not think that people here did not understand windchill. 274 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: It's getting concept one degree on Friday. Yeah, I think 275 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: this high fourteen every Friday in Nashville. Here. It's been 276 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: cold here too. Yet I'm wondering about just getting out 277 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: of here, wrap the piping back, empty the sprinkler. All right. 278 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: So you know, when the schedule comes out in May 279 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: and we go over it and we look at the 280 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: dates and Nashville in December, and I say, could go 281 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: either way, sure, And we've never had it go the 282 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: wrong way in Nashville cold wise, there's so much chill 283 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: even nothing but never been below freezing, haven't we at 284 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: d Ice to plane and coming back from Nashville like 285 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: one of those January games. I been kind of all 286 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: because we've seen them the last day of the season 287 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: a couple of times, from twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen, 288 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: the last day of the regular season in Nashville. It 289 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: wasn't this cold, though, so Omar mazoob Our, a PR guru, 290 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: was saying to me. He said, hey, he was trying 291 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: to trivia question me, and don't challenge me on this. 292 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: What's the coldest game in the history of the franchise? 293 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: And it is Green Bay as far as raw temperature. 294 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Kick you know, wait, but there was no win, right 295 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Windier was Chicago and all four and the fields like 296 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: was in the negatives. So you had a negative situation 297 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: in Chicago, and trust me, that game was colder. It 298 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: felt bad. You and Lopez had Andre Johnson on a 299 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: Verizon show on a Tuesday morning in twenty twelve before 300 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: the Texans played the Bears, eight years after that Bears 301 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: game you're referencing, and I remember Andre telling that story 302 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: about he and Corey Bradford walked down the tunnel to 303 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: get onto the field and they got to that spot 304 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: where the overhang ends and you could you're out, You're 305 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: out in it, and he said, Corey. Bradford just was 306 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: like nope, and they turned around and went back in 307 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: and they didn't even no, you were warm up. Yeah, 308 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: he said. It was so cool that the chicken soup 309 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: on the sideline that they had for the players was frozen. 310 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: The hot chicken soup got frozen. Yeah. Oh, well, that's 311 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. It's that cold. My water froze. Yeah, 312 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, you put water out on the broadcast table freezes. 313 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: My pen was freezing. I had to jam it into 314 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: my glove to keep it hot. I've told all these 315 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: stories before, doing pushups during the commercial break so I 316 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: could stay warm, that kind of thing. Because the booth 317 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: in Chicago would no heat. In Green Bay, there was 318 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: some heat in the booth, so we stayed okay. And 319 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's gonna be like in Nashville, 320 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: but boe oh, it's it's always open. And Andre's gonna 321 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: want to close the windows if it's at all possible, 322 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: but I want them open open. I want to feel it. 323 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: I think that broadcast in these games, I think you 324 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: should kind of hear it in the voices of the 325 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: announcers that it's cold, you should be able to hear 326 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: the cold net You need to. You can't pretend that 327 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: you remember the last time he felt cold. What that 328 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: felt like. I hate having the windows closed. It affects Glaire, 329 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: affects my binoculars, and the voice bounces off the windows, 330 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: so it makes the call sound funny. I like it 331 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: to sound authentic. I thought maybe you'd say the cold 332 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: affects your vocal cords. It does, it does. I started 333 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: getting a scratchy voice if I'm talking in the cold too. 334 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: I'll get through it somehow. But that Chicago DANOL four 335 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: was was certainly memorable. I just think it's funny with 336 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith here because he's not gonna have any part 337 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: of this. He's gonna be like, I coached in Chicago 338 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: for nine years. You guys, are you kidding? From Texas? 339 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: And well he's from Texas, but he's been at Chicago 340 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: for a long OILS. Yeah, and we hey, we asked 341 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: some of the guys today and the press conference, Hey, 342 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: what's your coldest game ever? Kirchy didn't even he didn't 343 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: give one. He just like, doesn't affect me and this 344 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: and this, I'm fine. Tavier Thomas said it was a 345 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: playoff game in college against Northwest Missouri because first that yeah, 346 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: you're getting deep in you know, December in those games. 347 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: So he said he was in a pretty cool one. 348 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: It's just interesting to hear what some of these guys have. 349 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: Chris Moore, he's played up in Cincinnati and for college 350 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: and played for for the Ravens for a bit, so 351 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: he's been in cold as well. I was at Academy 352 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: last night and I looked over the you know, the 353 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: long underwear, long sleeve, like the tight fitting thermal shirt section, 354 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff that Academy has. It was 355 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: picked over pretty good. They're gonna restock today, I'm sure, 356 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: because yeah, yeah, people were loading up on this stuff, 357 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: and I need to load up to. I buy some 358 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: of those every year anyway, because they're kind of, you know, 359 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: cozy that you can shake up and keep your hands working. 360 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: You know. I got to do that too. I got 361 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: to do that too. And I'll wear a ski mask 362 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: in the broadcast. That'll be a good you really no 363 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: I want. But you know what, no one's wearing masks, 364 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: well not no one. A lot of people are still 365 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: wearing masks. But this is where the masks kind of 366 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: come in handy, you know, the COVID mask because they 367 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: keep your keep the air and they keep your nose warm. 368 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: But I'll find something, you know, the Buffalo game over 369 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: the weekend, the Buffalo in the Dolphins game with the 370 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: snow they call I guess they're calling it the snow 371 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: globe game. I just couldn't stop looking at the fans, 372 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: the Buffalo fans. I'm just in awe of how much 373 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: they enjoy the cold nothing today. Some of them, they 374 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: were some of those people weren't even wearing gloves, Drew. 375 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: It makes me wonder what we're going to see it 376 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: in Tennessee, in Nashville on Saturday. I mean, how many. 377 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to fill that place up. 378 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: You know. I think there's a lot of people that'll 379 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: be like, forget this. You know, lost four in a 380 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: row and it's Christmas. Christmas. I don't know. That's a 381 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: great Pointly, it's probably a sellout, but as far as 382 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: showing up, I wonder how many will actually show up. 383 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: That's a great point I'm curious to And that's not 384 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: a knock on Titans fans, but I just don't see 385 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: them filling that place circumstantial yeah, yeah, holidays. It's cold, 386 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: you're outdoors, you're not used to it. I'm us in 387 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: four a row, you're playing a one win team. Speaking 388 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: of losing four in a row, what if I told 389 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: you when the season started that possibly the final week 390 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: of the season, you'd be Titans and Jaguars battling for 391 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: the AFC cells. Yeah, I would have thought that. No, No, 392 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: not the Jags. I thought Colts and Titans, and maybe 393 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: maybe the Titans have to win it to clinch because 394 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: the cults are chasing them or something. But not I was. 395 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: I thought so too. If Matt Ryan sure dumb that 396 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: meltdown that they had over the weekend against the Vikings, 397 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: that was awesome. That was so good to give things 398 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: that Mark and Mark and Joys. I love that. I 399 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: actually asked Andre which was more enjoyable watching the Cowboys 400 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: meltdown against the Jaguars or the Colts losing to Minnesota. Well, 401 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: I might have asked another one, Colts and then something else, 402 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: the Titans having lost more in the Cowboys. But I 403 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: don't like seeing Jacksonville win, So that's a that's a 404 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: no win for me. Seeing the Colts blow the largest 405 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: lead or the largest lead blown in NFL history regular season, 406 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people after they'd fired Frank Reich, who 407 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: had authored the biggest comeback in college history and the 408 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: biggest comeback in NFL history. Yeah, I actually I wanted 409 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: to tweet that out, but I thought eight hundred people 410 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: are beating me to this Frank Reich tweet. And I 411 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: looked and sure enough that was the cage. Because I thought, 412 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: they are getting Frank richd right now by the Minnesota Vikings, 413 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: and it is awesome. Every time the Vikings got the ball, 414 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: I was utterly confident that we're going to score again. 415 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins was the greatest quarterback in the world in 416 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: a second half, and there it was. But I pointed 417 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: this out to Andrea and Johnny that do we not 418 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: give Cousins enough credits Sometimes. I'm not saying he's one 419 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: of the top five guys in the league. But he 420 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: hangs in there in the pocket. He takes hits. You know, 421 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: he'll wait for the guy to get open, he'll hit, 422 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: he'll get rid of the football. He's got outstanding talent 423 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: around him. But give credit where credit is due. Man, 424 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: They're having a great season. I'm not saying they're gonna 425 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl either. I think it's the team 426 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: that gets hot in the postseason, and I can't pick 427 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: it right now. I don't have to go on the 428 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: record with that right now, but I applauded their effort 429 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: against the Colt. YEA, you're allowed to say somebody's good 430 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: without saying they're the greatest. Like you put that on Twitter, 431 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: what you just said, and you get it would be 432 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: like piranhas on a cal carcass. I mean, there's what 433 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: about Petromo, You're an idiot, blah blah. You know, Yes, 434 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: you're allowed to like somebody and say that they're good 435 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: and not say that they're the best. Ever. I will 436 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: say this right now. Mahomes and Josh Allen are the 437 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the league in my opinion. They're so talented, 438 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: they're so good at what they do. I know Burrow 439 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: is two, but these two guys can make throws that 440 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: are really artistically amazing to me, and degree of difficulty 441 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: off the charts. But it could be Burrow going back 442 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl with the hot Bengals right now. 443 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: Maybe Brady gets hot in the postseason again. I don't know. 444 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: We'll see it's gonna be fun to watch. I mean, 445 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: things are shaking out wall for them in that division, 446 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: in the AFC North, you know, for the Bengals, Yeah, 447 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Steelers are without a quarterback. The Ravens are 448 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: without a quarterback. The Browns, you know, they're pretty much 449 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: out of it. They can't really get going. They're still alive, 450 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: and they just beat the Ravens. But Huntley had a 451 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: rough day. The Ravens had a weird game. I mean, 452 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm obviously playing for the Ravens all day in that one. 453 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: I want Cleveland to lose badly. But the Ravens were 454 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: shooting themselves in the foot. Tucker missed two field goals. 455 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: Whatever happen? How dare you miss two field guards against 456 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: that team? Miss two field goals against us? Not? Damn? 457 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker ran over Year's outrage. Yeah, I mean, I 458 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: think I think this Titans seems in a bad spot 459 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: right now. I don't know. I'm like in the division, 460 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm low key. I'm low key rooting for the Jaguars 461 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: to win it, just because I think it'd be great 462 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: if the Texans came in beat the Titans sent them 463 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: on their downward spiral. Because you can't Texans, you can't 464 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: win anything next three weeks. It would be nice to 465 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: do that. Here's how it works for you. If you 466 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: want the Jags to win the division, Texans, beat the Titans, okay, 467 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: so that that puts them a game back. That Jaguars 468 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: beat the Jets this Thursday before that, Right then you 469 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: take on the Jags New Year's Day. You beat the Jags, 470 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: which isn't going to hurt them, so to speak, because 471 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: the Titans having had lost to the Texans. No, if 472 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: the Titans get another lost and the Jaguars beat the Jets, 473 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: the Jaguars can still afford to lose to the Texans, 474 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: then beat the Titans on closing Day and make the 475 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: postseason by winning the APS South. So that way, the 476 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: Texans can win minimum two out of three in the 477 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: division down the stretch and finish with a winning record 478 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: in the division, which is what love he's talking about. 479 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: And in your streak against the Jags stays alive, your 480 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: streak against the Jags stays alive. The Jags win the division. 481 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: The Titans are utterly miserable, which is delightful really, and 482 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: the Cults are certainly miserable. Anyway, so a lot gets 483 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: done that way. I love this little AFC. So this 484 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: plan that we have this AFC South Round Robin Many 485 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: Tournament at the end of the season, I kind of 486 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: like it. The Jags have a lot of help because 487 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: they're playing Thursday night, They're playing the Jets, and Mike 488 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: White is still not clear to return, so it's going 489 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: to be Zach Wilson for the second streak week. Mike 490 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: White's obviously dealing with the three broken ribs or something 491 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: like that. So they get they get Wilson again. Yeah, 492 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, so sure how this is going to 493 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: work out. Wilson had some moments and he had some 494 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: bad moments. You know. One thing about Wilson and he's 495 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: they got they lost the Lions. He's getting pr coached 496 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: up now because they asked him, do you think you 497 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: deserved another start after this, you know, regardless of White's health, 498 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: And Wilson said no, and then he smile. He said, 499 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: that's not for me to decide, as if he rehearse 500 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: that answer previously, it's like exactly the way it's meant 501 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: to be, saying, yeah, all right. Lots of stuff that 502 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: happened around the league, some of our favorite moments from 503 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: the week. Plus Drew is going to take us on 504 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: a tangent. I have no idea what that is. It's 505 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: all coming up on Texans All Access. Welcome back to 506 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: Texans All Access. We're getting ready for the Titans game. 507 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: And by getting ready, we're talking about lots of things 508 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: like how to open bottles of water around here, but 509 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: some big news heading into the week. Obviously you've got 510 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: some players on IR. There are some players that are 511 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: not yet on IR that Levey Smith says, Hey, guys 512 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: that are injured, there's always a chance, and there probably 513 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: is a chance a lot of them will come back, 514 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: and I think among them Kenyan Greene, Steven Nelson, and 515 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: then you got Brandon Cooks and Nico Collins who have 516 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: missed the last few games. You have a chance to 517 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: come back. Now, obviously you're not going to know until 518 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: tomorrow and the practice report comes out. It's a little 519 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: bit of a short week for the Texans, but definitely 520 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: something to keep your eye on. And it makes you think, goodness, 521 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't it be nice to have some help this weekend? 522 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: And when I say help, you call up jolly old 523 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: Saint Nick and you put Santa Claus out on the 524 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: football field for the Texans against the Titans. So with 525 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: that mind, where would you play Santa Claus? I thought 526 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: that's where you were going. And what would his stat 527 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: line be against the Titans? All right, I'm playing Santa Claus. 528 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: And by the way, this is the first I've heard 529 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: of this, so I have not had time to prepare 530 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: Sant Okay, I don't have Santa Claus. I have bio, 531 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: I don't have his combined stats, height measurements. But Santa Claus. Uh, 532 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: he's a jolly fellow and he tends to not miss 533 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: too many meals by the appearance of him. Ye, I'm 534 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: gonna put him right in the middle of that d line. 535 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: Drew Okay, he's gonna help on the defensive line. And look, 536 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: the red is gonna stand out. I get it, so 537 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: they might know who to avoid. But Santa Claus is 538 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: gonna stop off the run and stop Derek Henry. He 539 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: is gonna tackle him. He's gonna stuff his stocking with 540 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: cole He's gonna bury Henry into the turf, into the 541 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: frozen tundra at whatever the stadium's called this week, and 542 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. Okay, Okay, I like that, that's 543 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: an acceptable response. I like that, Okay. I would like 544 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: Santon the old line, okay. For a lot of the 545 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: reason that you said big Jolly likes a lot of meals. 546 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: I think that he probably throws a lot of packages 547 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: into his bag, so I'd put him in at center. 548 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: I think he'd be a good ball snapper there at center, 549 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: that's okay. Yeah, and throws people out of the way. Yeah. 550 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: I think his handwork is probably really good because he's 551 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: dealing with toys and packages and delivering things. So I 552 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: think he's very conscientious and knows address as well. And 553 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: I think as an alignment, you got to know the playbook, 554 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: so I feel like his attention to details. Red John 555 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: and I also had him playing on the interior of 556 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: the defensive line, and we said that he would make 557 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: sure to avoid Ben Jones because Ben Jones is such 558 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: a jolly old fellow off and always been a good boy. 559 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,959 Speaker 1: So he won't make Ben Jones look bad. He'll make 560 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: the other guys on the line look bad. But I 561 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: do have a little bit of a point of contention 562 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: here if we if if I had Santa on my team, 563 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: I'd play him at QB because he's magical. Oh yeah, 564 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: And I mean he can like blink his eyes and 565 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: be in different places at once. Is he a pocket 566 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: pass He can be. He can be super mobile too. 567 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: He can. I think he's very nimble on his feet. 568 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: So we play him at quarterback. We play him on 569 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: defense because you know this guy has stamina, has endurance. 570 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: How's he getting all these these presents delivered all over 571 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: the world in one night? That takes something and or 572 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: no offense to Kaiimi, no offense to Cam Johnston or 573 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: a Traymont Smith or Desmond King. We're playing him on 574 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: special teams. He's kicking, he's putting, he's taking back kicks 575 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: and punts. I don't know how many. He's probably only 576 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: gonna take one kickoff back because the leader have to 577 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: kick off to start the half at one of them. 578 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: But if Santa's on your team, you're blanking the Titans 579 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: and just scoring at will. You might score on defense 580 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: every single time. You might only have one offensive snap 581 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: because you're scoring on defense like the Waterboy. Basically, he's 582 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: like the quarterback and he's on special teams. He's magical. 583 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. He gets a lift. You know, 584 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: everybody's Jolly on the sideline. Everyone and Blitzen and Vixen 585 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 1: and Blitzen and whatever their names are. Do you get 586 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: Rudolph on the team too? What's Rudolph gonna do? Rudolph 587 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: is a gunner on special teams and I'm sending Rudolph 588 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: deep do you Okay? Here's here's a tangent off of 589 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: our tangent right now. You ever see those tweets where 590 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: it'll be like a map of the United States with 591 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: the favorite fast food restaurants of each state, and it's 592 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: you can tell somebody's they're messing with people, like they 593 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: put Texas has their favorite is the A ANDW root beer. 594 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: It's like, no, no way in hell, that's the possible. 595 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: I want to do one of those maps and have 596 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: you know, basically eighty percent of the nation having Rudolph 597 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: as their favorite reindeer and then have something like California 598 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: or some state that you want to mess with, say 599 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: had Donner and then this one had blitz In and 600 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: this one had That's what I'd like to do because 601 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: that would spark a debate. But I need to figure 602 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: out how they make those maps and debate there's no 603 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: way it's blitz in exactly. But you remember that, like 604 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: they had aw Up which no offense to them. I'm 605 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: sure it's a great place, but they had that is 606 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: like the state's favorite. Yeah, also favorite Thanksgiving foods, like 607 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: they'll have like green beans. Yeah, I'm like, no, no, 608 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: exactly when what a burger is a religion here? Okay? 609 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: Or Gary Queen? I mean either one of those two 610 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: above A and W. Although in Michigan that was big, 611 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: like a Northern that was like fine dining where I 612 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: lived in absolutely but not here, all right. We talked 613 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: about some of our favorite I don't even know, okay, 614 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: tangent finished. I had to pay off the teas. We 615 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: talked about some of our favorite moments from across the NFL. Well, 616 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: there's a few that we did not mention. Mark is 617 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: your favorite moment the end of the Patriots because it 618 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: was on run? How can it not be? It was 619 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: so jess delicious, it was so good, it was so enjoyable. 620 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: There were so many enjoyable moments in the NFL, you know, 621 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: despite the fact that the Texans lost, There's so many 622 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: other things where I can find enjoyment, and that was 623 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: one of them. That was like a Super Bowl moment 624 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: of watching other teams have a meltdown and to see 625 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: it happen to the New England Patriots, who pride themselves 626 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: on situational football doing the right thing. That was wild. 627 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: And the radio call of the Raiders announcer was awesome. 628 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: He went full on Peter Brady. His voice changed, it 629 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: was high pitch, it was awesome. Well, you talk about 630 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: radio calls, how delicious was it that the Patriots the 631 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: smartest of football teams, the best coached of all football teams. 632 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: There's Scott Zolak, the color commentator, who does a great job, 633 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: and you know, he's a very plorful whatever he quote 634 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: unquote quote says, this might be one of the dumbest 635 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,959 Speaker 1: teams I've ever seen. I mean, that is just out. 636 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if he's going to hear from management about that, 637 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, because was that compilation of information that he 638 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: got throughout the course of the game. I mean, that 639 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: was a dumb moment. But then it's probably the season 640 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: they maybe but they're about to go to what eight 641 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: and six? If they win that game, it was gonna 642 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: go into overtime. I'm not handing into the Raiders. But 643 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 1: they've been blessed with all these twelve and thirteen and 644 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: fourteen win seasons compared to all of them. Yes, but 645 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: you know right now, if the if the playoffs were 646 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: to end right now, the Patriots are still eighth, they're 647 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: just like right on the outside, the right on the 648 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: outside of that bubble of a win would have done 649 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: so much for them. Obviously, seven and seven, you still 650 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: have a chance to make the playoffs. The division. You're 651 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: not going to win the division. But this will be 652 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: this highlight or low light however you want to look at. 653 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: It will be played forever. You will never not see this. 654 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: This is one of the worst finishes in the history 655 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: of the league. This is pissard chick in the metal lands, 656 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: all right, This is leon let This is all that 657 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: and more so you will always see this highlight. Okay, 658 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: worst gift to have in your stocking the way that 659 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots game ended. Yes, Uh, being outscored thirty nine 660 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: three in the second half of a game after you've 661 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: got a lead and then you lose occasion historic. Or 662 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,959 Speaker 1: you've got Tom Brady as your quarterback who commits four turnovers, 663 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: two interceptions and two fumbles. Yeah, I think what we're 664 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: seeing eight games. For the first thing, it's the Colts, 665 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: the Colts. It's probably the Colts, but the Patriots. If 666 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: this costs them the postseason, and it could, that's huge 667 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: because the Colts aren't going anywhere. Although Johnny Harris just 668 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: sent me something pointing out that the Cults are mathematically 669 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: still alive, so there's that they are somehow out and 670 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: get a bunch of everybody else. Everybody else quits footeligns 671 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: with uranus, mercury and retrograde whatever. So the Brady thing, 672 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: I think we're looking at the end of Brady here. 673 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: Brady's not going to go into a situation again like this. 674 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: He needs it to be utterly clean. Like the forty 675 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: nine ers, for instance, would be a good situation for 676 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: Brady because you could put a lot of quarterbacks in 677 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: there who are pretty good and they're going to get results. 678 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: They have so many quarterbacks they don't even know what 679 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: to do. I know, they don't even know they're brock 680 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: Purdy sales. On a side note, they say have been 681 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: selling off the shelf like no one can keep them. 682 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: It's TJ. Yates on steroids. That's what's happened, But it's consistent, 683 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: like he's been playing a good chunk of the season. Now, 684 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: granted the defense is playing, it's still look I like, 685 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: I love what Purdy's doing for them if I'm a 686 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: Niners fan, and I kind of like it as a 687 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: football fan because mister irrelevant. I mean, not only was 688 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: he drafted in the seventh round, he's mister freaking irrelevant. 689 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 1: He's the last pick of the draft and he's doing this, 690 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: which gives it a little extra story wise. I like it, 691 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: but it's still early. You know, he hasn't been in 692 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: trouble yet. You're down two touchdowns, you got to rally 693 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: the team in the fourth quarter. He hasn't been in 694 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: that situation played If you're to play the twenty eleven 695 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: Ravens defense, what if? What if Garoppolo comes back? Because 696 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: isn't there a chance that he couldn't come back? What 697 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: do you do? Then? You put Garoppolo? I think it 698 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: depends on how it's going. Nah, you go with Garoppolo. 699 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: I do agree. You go with Garoppolo unless party is 700 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: so electric, like you've discovered Tom Brady. What happened with 701 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: the Patriots in two thousand and one Brady comes in. 702 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: Now this is a longer form of it. Brady comes 703 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: in for Bledsoe week one. Right, they go on a 704 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: role AFC Championship game, Brady gets hurt in Pittsburgh and 705 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe comes back and they win that game with Bledsoe. 706 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: They go to the super Bowl, and this is Drue 707 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: Bledsoe we're talking about, but we're like, now we're going 708 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: back to Brady. Brady's healthy enough to start the Super Bowl. 709 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: Bradys starting the Super Bowl. The rest is history, leads 710 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: them on that final field goal drive. That's that for 711 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe in New England, goes to Buffalo, goes to Dallas. Jallice, Well, 712 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: I think it's similar like with the Titans last year. 713 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry had the foot, the foot injury. Yeah, and 714 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: then they bring him back for the playoffs. But then 715 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: they didn't really run him as much as they would have. 716 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: I think it was I thought they ran him too 717 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: much actually for what he was. He seemed rusty. I 718 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: just think, yeah, he wasn't him. Situations like that where 719 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: a guy hasn't play, Yeah, if you want the Jimmy 720 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: Garoppolo back before injury, but you don't know what version 721 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: of him. That's a good point too. He's at a rhythm. 722 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: You know, if Purdie's playing well, it's gonna be tough 723 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,439 Speaker 1: to make that decision to put Garoppolo back in there. 724 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: As long as Purdie's playing well. Let's say, let's go 725 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: back to twenty eleven. Here Yates wins. Let's see comes 726 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: off the bench. They went in Jacksonville. They beat Atlanta 727 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: here seventeen to ten. The Bengals game for Yates was 728 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: unbelievably great. Throws for three hundred yards, has the seventeen 729 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: yards scramble on the final drive, throws the winning touchdown pass. 730 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: At that moment, you thought, is not your thought as 731 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: Yates better than Shop, But you thought you're fine, And 732 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: then some with t J. Yates. But then they lose 733 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: to Carolina, they lose to the Colts, and the final 734 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: day of the regular season, you're just playing for a 735 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: drive because Shop's definitely not coming back. You just have 736 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: to get it ready for the postseason. So and they 737 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: knew Shop wasn't coming back anyway. I'm not saying he was, 738 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: but what if he was sort of healthy enough? It 739 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: was something else, you know, what Shoblz told me about that. 740 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: I've probably told you guys this. He once said to me. 741 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: He thought about just you know, gutting it out, Like 742 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: if the playoffs had started the next week, he might 743 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: have just taped up the foot. I don't know if 744 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: you could do that or not. Maybe he was just talking, 745 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: but I think that he, I mean, he wanted to 746 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: play that badly in the postseason. That year that team 747 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: was so was a historic season for the city and 748 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: for this franchise. I mean, so good. Lead your team 749 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: to the first playoff postseason birth in franchise history. To 750 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 1: not be a part of that, that's I mean, I imagine. 751 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: But look how many paychecks he collected over the years 752 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: is career. The longevity of his career was probably due 753 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: in part to the fact that he did not finish 754 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: that season that he wowhabbed Oh oh, I see, because 755 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: he I think, so what if he'd played through that 756 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: and messed up his foot even more? And then but 757 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: he really only started one one other season after that, Yeah, 758 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: but I don't and then and not even all of it. 759 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but he still was on a twelve Oh no, 760 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, twelves, but he was still on the Falcon 761 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: like he was a backup for many, many, many, many 762 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: many years. Yeah, despite a lot. All right, let's take 763 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: a break, we come back. We'll go around the NFL. 764 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: It's one more segment on Texans All Access. Final segment 765 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access Week sixteen. A bunch of games 766 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: happening around the NFL. A weird schedule with Christmas being 767 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: on Sunday, so not a lot of Sunday games, a 768 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: ton of Saturday games, including the Houston Texans who were 769 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: at the Tennessee Titans at noon UM and then just 770 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: a few games on Christmas Day. So Packers at Dolphins, 771 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: Bronchos at Rams, Bucks at cars, and mark your favorite. 772 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: The Colts back in primetime for Monday when they host 773 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: the Chargers. That's weird. I know, Monday Night football. They're 774 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: gonna have flex scheduling on this soon enough, only game 775 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: on Monday, and they'll get rid of something like this. 776 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: They'll see it coming. It could turn out to be entertaining. 777 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: The Chargers have a way of making things entertaining. But 778 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: that is weird. I like that the league decided long ago, Hey, 779 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: Christmas Day is a Sunday. We're gonna move most of 780 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: the slate to Saturday, Christmas Eve, but we will have 781 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: games on Christmas Day because we're not gonna let the 782 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: NBA have the day to themselves and the poor NBA here, 783 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean NFL football on. It's a mismatch as the 784 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: NFL will dominate the TV ratings, but you know, good 785 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: for the NBA they'll be playing, because I'll be flicking 786 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: back and forth. You know, I want to see some 787 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: of these games and see how some of these guys do. 788 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: But you're playing Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, the following Thursday. 789 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: It feels like NFL football is on almost every night 790 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: of the way. My kids that my kids are in Heaven, 791 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 1: they're off from school, finals are over, and there's nobody 792 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: tell them, yeah, yeah, we're doing the bowl games and 793 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 1: the basketball. But you know, my middle one love NFL football, 794 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: so that's literally all he does is watch NFL football 795 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: all day. I like it too. I felt like those 796 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day games they were all really good, they were 797 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: really close. Um so I felt like the whole day 798 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: it was just you just gonna want to sit and 799 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: watch football. Although I hope weather does not interrupt any 800 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: of our Sunday Saturday games. You mean the actual games themselves. 801 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: I doubt it. It's just gonna be cold, right, I hope, 802 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: I hope there's no big weather front that comes through 803 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: on Yeah, there's not supposed to really be any precipitation 804 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: with this cold, like a dry cold at the country 805 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: weather forecast or drews. The high pressure system. It's gonna 806 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: bring that colder air, but it's not gonna be too moist, 807 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: So bring it down from Canada from Siberia over the 808 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: from Siberia. That's the really nasty stuff. Well, you know, 809 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about how cold it is here, but the 810 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: rest of the country's like minus teens, minus twenties. Oh 811 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: this is nice. This is actually nice. I mean, but 812 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: I do worry about when I see the neighbors with 813 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: their garbage bags over the bushes and shrubbery. Worry about 814 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: pipes freeze? Does that really help? But pipes free pipes 815 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: freezing is like scary. Yeah, put a blanket. I wrapped 816 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: my pipes last night. Well the pipes for sure, brother 817 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: in law, and yeah, yeah, I always feel like you 818 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: care it. Well, look, there was nothing worse than what 819 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: was it two years ago? Twenty degrees for like four days. 820 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: Nothing could could withstand that. Yeah, that was just about 821 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: what's here? It is? Yeah, Yeah, it's gonna yeah, it's 822 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: gonna lift out of freezing after nighttime, which is huge 823 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: because I think it takes a while for the pipes 824 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: to freeze. It's not like thirty one degree. You know, 825 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,959 Speaker 1: it's not that movie The Day after Tomorrow or whatever 826 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: with the helicopter freezes in mid air. It's not that. 827 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: I feel like we never worried about pipes bursting, but 828 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: you just leave the water running a smidge like all 829 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: night long, so woulden freeze? Know what, they're different pipes 830 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 1: or something well insulated. Anyway, this is Texas. I don't 831 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: care how will well insulated your house is in Texas. 832 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: We're just not built for this.
