Speaker 2: things that we needed to get into, and obviously, starting

Speaker 2: with our guy Andre Ware, the first thing we had

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: to know maybe the most important question of the entire day,

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: Mark take it away.

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,720

18
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: I want to Okay, hold on, Dre, before you respond,

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: you were absolutely lying. You were lying because you check

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: your fantasy team every.

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Time before we started, Yeah, because we hear about it

22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: every day.

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 4: No, at that point, at that point in time, I

24
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 4: hadn't so uh, but shortly after I did, that's for sure.

25
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: So how'd you do. Did you win?

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 5: No?

27
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: I won yesterday and I won running away, So that

28
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: that was with the team I have him on.

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 6: He Uh, he stepped up this year, guys.

30
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 4: I mean we're talking a couple of yards away from

31
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: being a thousand yard receiver already and we still have

32
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 4: a chunk of the season left. Uh Is It's incredible,

33
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 4: and he's just reaching the potential that I thought, or

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: I think everybody thought that he had. Uh, with the

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: physical gifts that he brings to the to the table.

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: You know, Trey, We've we talked about, you know, so

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: many players that have made plays, and we'll get to

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: some of those. But one of the players that I

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: asked Jamika Ryan's about was Desmond King. And Desmond popped

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: right back into the lineup yesterday and he's wearing number

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: twenty five, which is the number he's worn the last

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: couple of years. And Guys, I mean, if you just

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: if you watch the game from twenty twenty two and

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: then flipped on a game from twenty twenty three and

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: just said, Okay, these are successive games, you wouldn't know

46
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: you wouldn't know the difference, and yet the guy was

47
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: gone for how many ever, weeks, Dre, What does Desmond

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: King kind of bring into this defense that maybe they

49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: didn't have.

50
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: The first thirteen weeks. What did you see from Desmond

51
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: King yesterday?

52
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, he brings an edge, that's for sure.

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: He's an aggressive player that flies around on the defensive side,

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: and he gives you a returner in the return game.

55
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 6: And Desmond's just a pro. You know, when you got

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 6: to keep yourself ready.

57
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: You don't know when opportunities are going to pop up

58
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 4: after you get released, and certain instances and all of

59
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: a sudden, something presents itself and you have to go

60
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: in for a workout or whatever it is.

61
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 6: He's just kept himself ready.

62
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: And so mentally sharp as well as physically sharp. He

63
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: gets an opportunity with the Texans and he was prepared

64
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: for it. I guarantee you the minute they called him,

65
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: he started going over defensive calls and of that sort

66
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 4: that he knew that he could recall right away, and

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: that allows him to go in and contribute the way

68
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: he did yesterday.

69
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: It just feels right having him on the team. It

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: was strange when he got cut, but.

71
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 6: I get it.

72
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: It's whatever they're looking at.

73
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: And Shaquille Griffin played well when he was here and

74
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: all that, and I'm not saying this automatically between the

75
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: two of them, but then he goes to the Steelers,

76
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: and I guess the surprise to me is that they

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: let him go. And I don't know what's going on

78
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh with everything, but the fact that King played

79
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: here against the Texans with the Steelers and now you

80
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: have him back and he's making big plays for you

81
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: is phenomenal and it just feels right, that's cool. Dray CJ.

82
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: Stroud yesterday. I mean, what can you say?

83
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: The guy is.

84
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: Amazing, makes more amazing plays. Able to hit an ego

85
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: with that touchdown, but there were others as well. The

86
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: throat to Brevin Jordan when he's being pressured and he

87
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: just flings the ball with as you pointed out on

88
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: the call, with accuracy, was just phenomenal. He continues to amaze.

89
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was that throw.

90
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: There was another one that he that he made as

91
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: well to Nico before well before Nico even got out

92
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: of his cut, he knew exactly on the field where

93
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: he should be against that coverage at that time, and

94
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: he just trusted and let the ball go. I can't

95
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 4: tell you how next level that is. And he's being

96
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: pressured knowing I'm getting ready to get hit. I'm gonna

97
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: trust that Nico is gonna be in that spot and

98
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let it rip, and he did and it

99
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 4: just worked out. That is next level. That is years

100
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 4: beyond being a rookie. Uh the stuff that that we're seeing.

101
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 6: CJ.

102
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: Stroud do.

103
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Dre this, Why did I just blank o what I

104
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: was gonna ask Dre? I had something in my mind

105
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: that I was no, no, I was gonna ask him. Oh

106
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: oh oh, I know. As a quarterback, Dre Davis Mills

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: goes into game age. The general brought this up and

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: it was only a couple of plays, a handoff, but

109
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: then he threw a seed to Nico Collins on the

110
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: sideline with Patrick Shirtan and coverage.

111
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: You as a quarterback, how difficult is that.

112
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: To be there and then say, Okay, you got to

113
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: go in the game, and I only have to go

114
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: in the game. You got to go make a throw

115
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: against one of the best corners in the league and

116
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: Patrick Shirtan. How big a moment was that for Davis

117
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: yesterday to just give them that one play and then

118
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: do what he did and throw a ball as accurately

119
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: as he did. How tough is that as a quarterback

120
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: to do?

121
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 6: It's tough because you're standing there all day.

122
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: You have no idea when you're going to go in

123
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: the game, So that makes it, you know, even tougher,

124
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 4: or that you would go. You're going to go in

125
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 4: at any point, but you have to prepare and you

126
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: have to be ready in case something happens like it

127
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 4: did yesterday, whether it's for a couple of plays or

128
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: whether it's for a couple of weeks, you've got to

129
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: keep yourself ready. And it's that attitude each and every

130
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: day that a guy like Davis Mills or guy in

131
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: his shoes has to take to work each and every

132
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: each and every day. And so he was ready. Can

133
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: credit him as well being a pro. And I think

134
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: you've got to give a lot of credit to this

135
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: coaching staff the way they've handled Davis Mills.

136
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 6: They didn't just anoint CJ. Stroud.

137
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: They made him earn it to some degree, but uh so,

138
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: but when and that was through competition during camp and

139
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: then you know, you get into the regular season. They

140
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: started to give obviously CJ the reps, but they've handled

141
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: Davis in a manner in which they respect what he

142
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: can give this team.

143
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 6: Uh. Any if they didn't, it would have been a

144
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 6: couple of handoffs and he's back on the sideline.

145
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: But they've done that on two occasions now where they

146
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: put him in the game, trusted him to throw the

147
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: football and he's delivered. So uh, I think he's just

148
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: earned he's just earning himself respect with his team and

149
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: with the coaching staff.

150
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great to see completion percentage one for two.

151
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: So uh and you look, it's the backup quarterback. You

152
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: hope you don't have to see him, but if you

153
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: do see him, you want to see him play well.

154
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 3: And that was nice to see. All right, Dray What

155
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: about the defense here? Big days from Will Anderson Junior

156
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: Darris Stingley Jr. The juniors were on fire, and so

157
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: was Jonathan Grenard had the pressure on that final play

158
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: where Wilson threw the pick to Jimmy ward Man.

159
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: It's starting a round in the shape, isn't it. On

160
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: that side where you got playmakers making plays, you got

161
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: young players making.

162
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: Plays, you got veteran players.

163
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: Stepping up and contributing, and then in a manner in

164
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: which you in a sense where you needed them the most.

165
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 4: Yesterday it was Ben, but don't break. They knew the situation,

166
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: they knew that a touchdown was needed to beat them,

167
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: and they just held. I mean, there were a couple

168
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: of big plays here and there, got down in the

169
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: red zone, but they didn't allow the score. And I

170
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: think that's a tip of the hat to everybody on

171
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: that side of the all coaching staff included. They when

172
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 4: you need them the most, that's when they step up.

173
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: And guys certainly earned earned their keep yesterday.

174
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: Okay, this one's for both y'all.

175
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: I feel like this defense when it has Jimmy Ward

176
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: in it, and I don't want to take away from anybody.

177
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: DHC has done some really good things when he's gone

178
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: in there. Eric Murray and MS Stewart did some good

179
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: things before.

180
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: They went out.

181
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: But I feel like this defense when Jimmy Ward is

182
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: in the lineup is not only completely different, but it

183
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: just executes things and does things a little bit differently

184
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: and maybe with a little bit more vereven swag or

185
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. And I know Jimmy

186
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: got the interception. Everybody will point to that, but I'm

187
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: just saying how it's orchestrated, how it's coordinated, how it's run.

188
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: I think the fact that Jimmy Ward is back there

189
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: changes things.

190
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: This is for both of you, Dre, you go first.

191
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's a playmaker, and guys have a

192
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 4: way of affecting the way other peopleeople around them play,

193
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: and that's Jimmy Ward. Jimmy Warre comes in the huddle,

194
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: everybody's on it, got a different edge to him.

195
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 6: Everybody's got a little bit quicker step.

196
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 4: Everybody wants to match Jimmy's intensity, and so you don't

197
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 4: get that from someone else that's not a veteran player

198
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 4: that won't step up or voice certain things.

199
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 6: So that's what he gives him. And then he backs

200
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 6: it up with his plate.

201
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: So when you have a guy like that that's, you know,

202
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 4: that outspoken, he better back it up or guys will

203
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: just brush him off. But Jimmy backs it up with

204
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: his plate, and he certainly did yesterday.

205
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, look at where they are.

206
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: Okay, they're in the upper half of the league and

207
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: points now yards They've given up some yards, there's no

208
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: question about that. But they're good against the run, and

209
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: they're good in keeping the point total low. Even last

210
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: week they lose to the Jacks, but they hold them

211
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: to twenty four. I mean you almost almost take that

212
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: going in to a home match with the Jaguars, thinking

213
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: you're going to be able to eclipse twenty four points offensively.

214
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: But obviously it didn't work out last week. But yeah,

215
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: he means so much to them. When he's in the lineup.

216
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: It just looks different. It just looks different. And they're

217
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: making big plays down the stretch. So that's cool. Dre Gardner,

218
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: Minshew and the Colts. When is Minshew gonna turn back

219
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: into a pumpkin? What is going on? I cannot have

220
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: this seven and five. There's still ahead of the Texans

221
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: in this playoff chase. But at least you have them

222
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: on the schedule so you can do something about it yourselves.

223
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: Look the Titans. We watched the Colts beat the Titans

224
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: in overtime. You cannot send a Titan to do a

225
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 3: Texans job.

226
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: Gotta do the job yourself.

227
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: Oh man, he's home one this morning.

228
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, no, Yeah. Gardner is playing well. I

229
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 6: mean he is. He's another guy that goes out, he trains.

230
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: He knew that he was being signed in Indianapolis to

231
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: be the backup, but in his mind there was maybe

232
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: this little bit of sliver of hope that he could

233
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 4: get in the lineup because it was a rookie quarterback,

234
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: or that at some point he would struggle or they

235
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: would just use a chunk of the season to bring

236
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: Richardson along and Minshew would be the starter. He knew

237
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 4: all this and he trained that way, so it's no

238
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: surprise to himself.

239
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 6: I'm sure that he is.

240
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: He's playing the way he is and contributing the way

241
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 4: he is, and he's going to win that team over

242
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: at some point and they'll play hard for him.

243
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 6: But Anthony Richardson is the future of the Colts.

244
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: But right now it's it's Gardner Minshew and he's got

245
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 4: him playing, and boy, they'll get Taylor back here in

246
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks.

247
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 6: It's a scary thought about what the Colts can become.

248
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.

249
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: But the Titans punt team, did you see both blocks?

250
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 6: Yeah?

251
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: They got blocked twice. I mean those guys blocked them

252
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: with their face masks. They like eat the football. Yeah,

253
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: Like what are they doing in Tennessee, Drake Tonight?

254
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 2: Two teams that we've seen relatively recently, but one has

255
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: had a complete sea change with no Joe Burrow. Monday

256
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: Night Jacksonville Jaguars in New Wall County against the Cincinnati Bengals.

257
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: The Bengals have got some guys coming back to Higgins

258
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: is going to be back Logan Wilson. But do you

259
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: give the Bengals a shot a knocking off the Jags tonight?

260
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: What do you think?

261
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: The Jags kind of riding a big crowd, all excited

262
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: because the first Monday night game.

263
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: Do you give the Bengals a shot against the Jags tonight?

264
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: No Bengals are gonna turn back into who they were

265
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: years ago.

266
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 6: I mean, and that's that's that's unfortunate.

267
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 4: But Joe Burrow is a difference maker and he is

268
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: the guy that he he is in bad basketball terms,

269
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: he requires a double team, so you uh, without him,

270
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 4: they are an entirely different team. I think the NFL

271
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: world is gonna see it tonight. And Jacksonville, to their credit,

272
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: they're on the uptick. They're on the upswing of things

273
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: in the league based on where they just continue to

274
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: grow from last year.

275
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 6: They've let a couple of games, in my opinion, get away.

276
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: Uh, but they are on the uptick, a thing and

277
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: a team that is going to be around.

278
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 6: They're not going anywhere for a while, all right.

279
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 3: Don't worry, folks. The college football vent is coming. I've

280
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: got two of them. But before we get to the venting,

281
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: before we get to the venting, Tasak Texas Bowl, good

282
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: matchup Texas A and M Oklahoma State December twenty seventh,

283
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: right here at NRG Stadium, Dre.

284
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big week because you.

285
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: Have two Texans games Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and

286
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: the other part of the sandwich is the bowl game

287
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: on the twenty seventh.

288
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be fun.

289
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be a great time.

290
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: And I think the Texas Bowl got a great matchup

291
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 4: in A and M and Oklahoma State, two fan bases

292
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: that really will travel well, will support their teams, They'll

293
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: fill the building. It's going to be full of energy

294
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: and a lot of fun. So I would recommend getting

295
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: tickets now, you know, calling in, going online and get

296
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 4: yourself to NRG on the twenty seventh, because that's gonna

297
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: be a heck of a football game. Then you follow

298
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: it up a week couple of weeks later with the

299
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 4: National Championship right there in the same building. It's uh,

300
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: this is a city full of college football.

301
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 5: Here in the next couple of weeks, it's.

302
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: Gonna be wild because we're gonna be doing a show

303
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: that Monday morning with the National Championship.

304
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 6: Can the build that's gonna be awesome?

305
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: That's gonna be freaking awesome?

306
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 6: Can it?

307
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: Can a ramp be positive or does the rant always

308
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: have to be negative? I mean most of the time

309
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: it's it's negative.

310
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: I mean, but it's a speaker shout at length in

311
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: a wild impassioned way.

312
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: But that could mean that it could be positive.

313
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: Could be Drey, Hang on a second, now, this is

314
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: where I'm going with this, all right, Okay, University Houston

315
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: new head coaches Willie Fritz.

316
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: Okay, good, it's not I mean, that's positive.

317
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: I know in some sense how Dre feels about it,

318
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: So it could be a positive rant.

319
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: All right? He could he cut where I was going.

320
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: But that's in a wildly impassioned, you know speaking way, Dre.

321
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about Fritz being a new head coach of

322
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: you have.

323
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 6: Ah, I love it, I love it.

324
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: I respect coach Fritz. I got a chance to send

325
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 4: him a text and congratulate him.

326
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 6: On UH and welcoming him to the Cougar family.

327
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: He is a known program builder and a winner wherever

328
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: he's been, and so we obviously wanted to get some

329
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: of that taste and flavor within the Cougar program. And

330
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 4: I couldn't be more thrilled at the job that administrators

331
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: and those in charge have done and bringing in a solid,

332
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: mature adult head coach.

333
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: He wins games. That's gonna be fun, Dre. What's not

334
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: fun is when you win all of your games and

335
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: you are in a big time conference and I am

336
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: no seminal In fact, I mean I've got background in

337
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: college football and I have a big beef with the

338
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: Seminoles that goes back over twenty years. But we won't

339
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: get into that right now. But they won all of

340
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: their games, they should be in. This is ridiculous. You

341
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: lose a game, now you subject yourself to all the debates.

342
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: But if you win literally all of your games, you

343
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: need to be in this thing.

344
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: To me, it was simple.

345
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: The undefeateds go in and yes, Texas goes into because

346
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: they beat.

347
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Bama, and you shouldn't be in.

348
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: Thought, Yeah, you know, I used all my energy yesterday

349
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 4: on this because I had to close the door to

350
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: the booth, and I was so loud when this came out,

351
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: and I looked up and everybody was standing at the

352
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: door watching my reaction. I couldn't believe it that that

353
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: Florida State had had gotten left out after winning you

354
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: know there everybody thinks that you have to win in

355
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 4: this sexy way. You just have to win in advance

356
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: at this point in the season. Apparently and apparently not

357
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: according to a bunch of guys that that hadn't don't

358
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: lay them up anymore, I have it. It's crazy that

359
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: that could even happen. It's never happened. You've had some

360
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: one lost teams in the Pac twelve that have gotten

361
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: left out, and they are known for being left.

362
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 6: Out, uh, almost to a to a point where it's

363
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 6: a oak.

364
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 4: But it's never happened to the east of the country,

365
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 4: and it's certainly not going to happen in the southeast

366
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: where the SEC resides. And that was that was known

367
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: or make more clear. Uh, it couldn't have been more

368
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: clear yesterday. So when you look at how things have

369
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: been done, you might as well say every year there.

370
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 4: If you were to continue with four teams every year,

371
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: there'd be three spots because one of them's reserved for

372
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 4: the SEC.

373
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 6: And so you know, you just can't continue to do

374
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 6: it that way. You can't live that way.

375
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: Otherwise people start to feel that this is a rigged

376
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: process and it's unfortunate for Florida State because they deserve

377
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 4: and have earned the right to play in the national

378
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: championship or play for a national championship in this case.

379
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 6: But it's it's it's sad. I mean, it is absolutely

380
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 6: sad when it.

381
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: Works itself out the way it has and then we

382
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 4: have the powers that be that go and throun and

383
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 4: try to plead the.

384
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 6: Case for the SEC. Uh, there shouldn't be an SEC.

385
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 4: Team in the playoffs this year. That's just how they

386
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 4: knocked each other off. You can't say you're the toughest

387
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: conference if you're not willing to suffer the consequences of

388
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 4: knocking each other off. You don't play anybody non conference wise,

389
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 4: it was the weakest non conference schedule against everybody, against

390
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 4: all other power fives.

391
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 6: The SEC was four and six this year. So it's

392
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 6: it's I don't get it.

393
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 4: I don't understand it, but it is what it is,

394
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 4: and we got to continue to live with it. And

395
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 4: Alabama's gonna beat Michigan. That's the crazy part about it.

396
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: They're gonna beat Michigan.

397
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: But that does not justify them being in in the

398
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: first place.

399
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 6: It does not over Florida State whatsoever. I get it.

400
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 6: There are plenty of ways.

401
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 4: I watched the team Saturday win a conference championship without

402
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: their starting quarterback. They want it with defense, they want

403
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: it with field positions, they want it with special teams.

404
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 6: Is that the sexy way to do it.

405
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 4: No, but it's a way that you have to coach

406
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: in order to maximize what you have as the football team,

407
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: and they were able to do it. Florida State deserves

408
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 4: the right to have earned the right to continue to play,

409
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 4: and it's just unfortunate.

410
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: Well, if all of you out there had me as

411
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: the last to have a rant, like I was a

412
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: major underdog.

413
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: Because everybody knows that I'm going.

414
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: To be the first to have a rant, well you

415
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: can guess that ticket because I'm the third one.

416
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: Here's what I will say, and this is I'll keep

417
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: it as civil as I possibly can.

418
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: The SEC's argument or people that say, well, the SEC

419
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: should be in. Every argument about that starts with, well

420
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: the SEC.

421
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: In the past. Yeah, that's their argument. It's about the past.

422
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: It's like, no, what is the current? Oh the current

423
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: is Alabama?

424
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the team that lost to Texas by Tenant Holme,

425
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: that barely straight by against USF, Well that was in September.

426
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: What about Hubber? How about the fact that you needed a.

427
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: Fourth and thirty one miracle at Auburn to a team

428
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: that had lost by three touchdowns the week before the

429
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: New Mexico State Yep, you can miss me with the SEC?

430
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: Is this You got to take.

431
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: Each year for what it is, and the SEC was

432
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: just not that good this year, and even at that point,

433
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: for a Power five team to get excluded for being

434
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: undefeated is absolutely ridiculous. Yeah, every state beat LSU and

435
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: Florida from the SEC. Every argument that the Bama people

436
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: can use can be used against the Bama people in

437
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: this debate.

438
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: And I got one more for you, Dre.

439
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: Look, I'm all for freedom for college football players, but

440
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: what is going on with the transfer portal? I mean,

441
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: why does and I'm sure there are reasons for everything.

442
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: I mean there must be the Ohio State quarterback comm

443
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 3: Acord leaving Ohio State and Dylan Gabriel leaving Oklahoma.

444
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: What is wrong?

445
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: What is wrong with these programs used.

446
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State.

447
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: I cannot possible business at Ohio State. It's not good

448
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 3: enough for what what These are the biggest schools in

449
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: the country among them, it's not right.

450
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: I don't get this at all, but it is what

451
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: it is.

452
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't. I don't get it.

453
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 4: I just saw this morning that those two mccordan and

454
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 4: Gabriel are transferring. I was just thinking to my Selllogate,

455
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: you're not ready to step into the professional world, but

456
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 4: you're stepping into the professional world. By that, I mean

457
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 4: it's just everybody's chasing us Dion with say a bag.

458
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 6: Everybody wants the money back. That's what it's all about

459
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 6: right now.

460
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 4: And you can't tell me that that's not the case,

461
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: certainly in Dylan Gabriel's case, that why would you ever

462
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: leave Oklahoma? Your play callers there? It was I don't

463
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: get it. Or he's getting ready to go with Jeff Levy,

464
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: who is and I didn't even think about that part

465
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: of it. Who just got a head coaching job somewhere

466
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: and he is.

467
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams how that goes?

468
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, that's what he followed. He followed, he

469
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 6: went there.

470
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: He went to Oklahoma from UCF because Levy was there.

471
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 4: And then Levy gets a job. He's leaving Oklahoma to

472
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 4: cod to where he is now. So it's, uh, it's crazy,

473
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: but I'm sure he's gonna get paid in doing so.

474
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 6: And I don't know what my court story is or

475
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 6: how that could affect anything. I will great.

476
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: Quote Nebraska head coach Matt Ruhle quote it now takes

477
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: a mill five or two to go get a great quarterback.

478
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Out of the cortal.

479
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's amazing, which, by okay, brings up this

480
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 2: question because Drey, I know you love the University of Houston,

481
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: and I know it was a different time. But if

482
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: you had schools offering a bag that was two two

483
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: and a half million after you won the Heisman to

484
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: go somewhere else, would you A have stayed in college?

485
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: And B would you have even entertained that thought given

486
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: the money that you could make after Heisman year to

487
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: go somewhere else.

488
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: I could have gone somewhere else, but I won the Heisman.

489
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 4: It wasn't that much money.

490
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 6: But no, I wasn't. I wasn't leaving. Nobody on our

491
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 6: team left.

492
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 5: We were offered.

493
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 4: It was during a time where we were getting ready

494
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 4: to serve the probationary period for something that happened when

495
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 4: we were much much younger in like middle school. And uh,

496
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: we were all offered at one time transfer and it

497
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: was designed to kind of break up the program almost like.

498
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 6: SMU's And nobody left.

499
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 4: Now one player left and transferred out, and then the

500
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: next couple of years were the few special years that

501
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 4: we had there. But no, not one person left. So no,

502
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 4: I wouldn't I wouldn't leave. I'm about competition. I'm about

503
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 4: facing it, and uh, I think it makes everybody better.

504
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: You don't run from it, certainly. And then, uh, you know,

505
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: money's never really affected me in a manner in which

506
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: I'm going to chase it like a lot of like

507
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 4: a lot of people would.

508
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: All Right, Drake, quick thoughts on the Jet game on Sunday.

509
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 3: You're facing a team that's really reeling right now, but.

510
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: They do have a good deal.

511
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've got to You've got to make sure

512
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: that this bunch or your bunch doesn't get into the

513
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: fact that they are reeling because they're a professional football

514
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: team that's capable of putting it together for at least

515
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 4: one Sunday when you come to their buildings.

516
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 6: So that in and of.

517
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: Itself requires focus, It requires hard work. It requires the

518
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: same amount of energy that you put into beating the

519
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: Broncos and you're traveling, so that that should that should

520
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: be a motivating factor in and of itself. But they

521
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: they've got some weapons on both sides their defense. They

522
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 4: tried to let it carry them, but now the offense

523
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 4: is turning the ball over in instances in which the

524
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 4: offense didn't turn it over. The Jets of one. So

525
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 4: you have to you have to be careful when you

526
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 4: go in there and make sure you're taking care of

527
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 4: take care of the football first and uh and finish

528
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 4: the game out against them. There's no doubt that I

529
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 4: think the Texans are more talented than the Jets and

530
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 4: should win.

531
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: You just gotta go do it, all right, Dre, have

532
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: fun at the Heisman ceremony Saturday.

533
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: We'll see in thee that day.

534
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 6: Yes, indeed, I'll be there. I'll make it in sideways,

535
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: but I'll be there.

536
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a good weekend for Dre nineteen

537
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: eighty nine Heisman winner. The Heisman will be announced on

538
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: Saturday night. Can't wait to see that. I'm always a

539
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 2: big fan of what goes on with the Heisman. So

540
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: Dre's gonna have a tremendous night and then hopefully we

541
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: have a tremendous afternoon on Sunday.

542
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: Gonna be wet, gonna not be.

543
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 2: A pretty day, typical New Jersey December day. But if

544
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: you go get the win over the Jets, federally matter,

545
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: federally matter. What matters is Indy Kalu. He joins us

546
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: next right here in Texans All Access. What's up, everybody,

547
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Monday edition of Texans All Access. I'm

548
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: your host, John Harris, Football analyst, sideline Reporters. One of

549
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: the greatest developments to me of this twenty twenty three

550
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: season is getting the opportunity each and every Monday at

551
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: a minimum to hang out in d Clue. Absolutely love

552
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: and d He is great, and he joined us to

553
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: talk about this game and what sort of roadblocks the

554
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: Texans players might be up against in the next few

555
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: weeks as they close out the season.

556
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: The next five games, Let's go mark Me and d.

557
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: How did you see it as they're coming down to

558
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 3: stretch trying to make those big defensive plays and they

559
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: made the big win at the end.

560
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 7: You know what, I see it as a quality win,

561
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 7: even though NFL win is a quality win because it's

562
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 7: so tough to win in the NFL. But you're playing

563
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 7: a team that was riding high, that were coming on

564
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 7: a five game win streak. They didn't really have anything

565
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 7: to lose, And sometimes those are the teams that scare

566
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 7: me the most when they obviously have the talent, they

567
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 7: don't really have much to lose, so they can just

568
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 7: go out there and let it all hang out. So

569
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 7: I really felt like it was a quality win, and

570
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 7: you saw the impact of guys that you just didn't

571
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 7: have playing suiting up or it took him a couple

572
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 7: of weeks to kind of get back into the groove

573
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 7: of things with Derek Stingley, Jimmy Ward, you instantly saw

574
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 7: that Jimmy Ward impact with not just to play the

575
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 7: last player of the game, but throughout the entire game

576
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 7: that Derek Stingley, he's showing everybody, Hey, this is why

577
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 7: I was taking.

578
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: As high as I wont a true talent out here.

579
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: Indy will Anderson, John Grenard. I mean, it got after

580
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: it yesterday. And I don't want to take away from

581
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: the interior guys at all, but when you have them

582
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: kind of feeding.

583
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: Off one another, well, in your opinion, what.

584
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: Do the Texans really have with Will Anderson Junior and

585
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: John Garnard out on the edge.

586
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 7: What they have is a responsibility to make sure those

587
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 7: two guys play together for years to come. Because when

588
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 7: you have a guy like Johnson Grenard win healthy, he's

589
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 7: the guy that's gonna get you double digit sacks. He

590
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 7: has eight now, unless you know, God forbid he has

591
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 7: some kind of injury, he's gonna finish with double digit sacks.

592
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 7: And Will Anderson is one of the few players where

593
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 7: sacks don't really justify him as an edge player. Even

594
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 7: though he had the two sacks yesterday, he doesn't need

595
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 7: those two sacks to justify how great of a player

596
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 7: he is. But to have those two type of guys

597
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 7: on the edge, I mean, that's what you want. That's

598
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 7: what you want when you had Bosa and Khalil Mack.

599
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 7: That's what you wondered when you had Jadeveon Clowney and

600
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 7: JJ Watt. That's what you wanted when you had you know,

601
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 7: Mario Williams and Anthony Weaver, and they were looking for

602
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 7: that other edge player.

603
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: You have it here.

604
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 7: So now it's up to the Texas to make sure

605
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 7: that they stick around and they grow together and they

606
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 7: play together for the next three, four or five years

607
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 7: to come, because it is hard to find two guys

608
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 7: coming off the edge that are effective as Grenardi Anderson.

609
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: How tough is it to chase around a guy like

610
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson? And I know he threw the three picks yesterday,

611
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 3: but the Texans earned the right, as Demiko would put it,

612
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: to get those interceptions. He had been pick free during

613
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: this run that the Broncos have been on this five

614
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: game winning streak and had not thrown a pick in

615
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter all season long. He threw two yesterday.

616
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: What about facing a quarterback like that, Well.

617
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 7: He never faced Jimmy Ward in the fourth quarter, so

618
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 7: that's why he threw that interception. But it is tough

619
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 7: mark when you have a guy that is not just

620
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 7: athletic enough to extend plays, but smart enough to not

621
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 7: rely on these legs to pick up the yards, but

622
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 7: more so to extend the plays, and when I say

623
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 7: extend the plays.

624
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the amount of time in the pocket.

625
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 7: It's tough because when you're a Will Anderson, when you're

626
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 7: Jonathan Bernard, it's not just about beating the offensive tackle

627
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 7: in front of you. Now you have to make sure

628
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 7: that your rush lanes to make sure that you're aiming

629
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 7: for the upfield shoulder or he's just gonna slip you

630
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 7: and make you look like a full I've said this before,

631
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 7: and in no way am I comparing Russell Wilson to

632
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 7: a Michael Vick. But preparing for a Michael Vick, Preparing

633
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 7: for an athletic quarterback is so much tougher than preparing

634
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 7: for some of the great pocket passers. And I would

635
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 7: always tell people that it's harder to play Michael Vick

636
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 7: than what's Tom Brady. Now, obviously Tom Brady's one of

637
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 7: the best, if not the best quarterbacks to ever played,

638
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 7: but as a defensive end, as a pass rusher, it's

639
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 7: tougher to prepare for those guys that move around in

640
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 7: the pocket.

641
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: My guess is just like throwing darts at a moving

642
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: dark board in d You know, it's hard enough to

643
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: play darts, but at least if you know where the

644
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: dartboard is, you hit it like Mark and I do

645
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: when we were beating when we're beating everybody in doubles

646
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: and darts a couple of summers ago. But point being,

647
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: you know, with Russell Wilson just moving around and showcasing

648
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: his old his his old rejuvenated legs to get that win. Indy,

649
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: one of the things that I heard Willie Anderson talk

650
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: about with Sean and with Brandon yesterday and then Seth

651
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: brought it up again today was the physicality with which

652
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: the Texans played yesterday. Now, it was pretty clear that

653
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: Broncos brought some funk too, but how did you kind

654
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: of assess how physical the Texans played, especially defensively yesterday.

655
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know who.

656
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 7: They reminded me of Demico Rans as a player, and

657
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 7: you're just starting to see that head coach is starting

658
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 7: to rub off. And I say started he as soon

659
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 7: as he arrived. I saw it in the preseason. You

660
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 7: just felt a different type of defense out there. And

661
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 7: these aren't the biggest names, you know, when you talk

662
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 7: about Cashman, when you talk about Desmond King coming back

663
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 7: in and being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers and looking

664
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 7: like he should have been a starter or a role

665
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 7: player for the entire season. It's just Demiko Urns, that's what.

666
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 7: He was a great defensive leader. He was a great linebacker,

667
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 7: and he's shown the guys how to play, what type

668
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 7: of mentality to come on the field with.

669
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 5: And you see it. I'm not surprised at all.

670
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: Well, indeed, they're putting up their best offensive numbers. I

671
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: was gonna say, hey, the offense is a lot like

672
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: it was in the Dmico Ryans player era too, he

673
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: didn't play offense, but with the Gary Kubiak offense putting

674
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: up big numbers. These are the best numbers they've put

675
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: up since that era. Even in the O'Brien era, even

676
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: with two full healthy seasons with that coach and Deshaun Watson,

677
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: they didn't reach these numbers. They're top ten in both

678
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 3: points in yards right now. But they're still not running

679
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: the ball the way they want, and they'll be the

680
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 3: first to tell you that. Yet here they are putting

681
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: up points, putting up yards through the air, and thanks

682
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 3: in large part to CJ. Stroud, of course, the offense

683
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: coach by Bobby Slowick.

684
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 7: Your thoughts, you know, and that's exactly what I was

685
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 7: going to talk about. When you look at the numbers

686
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 7: hole that they're putting up, but there's this still glaring

687
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 7: need for them to improve upon. And that's the run

688
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 7: game that goes to show how great they're playing in

689
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 7: other aspects of the offense.

690
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 5: On the offensive side of the ball.

691
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 7: For you know, Damian Pierce to still average less than

692
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 7: three yards a game yesterday and for some reason, Devin

693
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 7: Singletary only getting seven or eight carries, but yet they

694
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 7: put up those numbers. It's because Brevin Jordan, Oh you're

695
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 7: gonna play now, let's go ahead and get you sixty

696
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 7: plus yards you know for the game. So he looked

697
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 7: like a guy that you can rely on if you

698
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 7: have to, you know, next man up with Schults going down.

699
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 5: But I just still.

700
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 7: Think to win Mark, to win in the playoffs, to

701
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 7: win deep in the season, you have to figure out

702
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 7: what's going on with this run game and be more

703
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 7: consistent running the ball.

704
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: Andy would you make with the little dust up with

705
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: Alex Singleton and CJ. Stroud and then the fact that

706
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: Shaq Mason went and mush faced Alex Singleton because he

707
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: didn't like what he was doing to his quarterback.

708
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: What do you what did that moment? There's a lot

709
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: that it kind of told me, But what did that

710
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: moment kind.

711
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: Of tell you about a how this team feels about CJ,

712
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: how the city feels about CJ, and the fact that

713
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: CJ didhim back down to a guy that was hitting

714
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: everything in a blue jersey yesterday.

715
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 7: You know, it's funny you asked that question because I had,

716
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 7: I had. I was almost bipolar on that because as

717
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 7: a defensive player, I was thinking, come on, CJ. Singleton

718
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 7: didn't do anything wrong. This is still football. But as

719
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 7: a former Texan, as a Houston Texan fan, I love, love,

720
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 7: love the way the offensive line. He said, Man, I

721
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 7: don't know what happened, but as my quarterback, so let

722
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 7: me go over there and get in between him and dadversary.

723
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 7: Like I love the way the offensive line. I think

724
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 7: like three or four guys, like you said, Shaq Mason

725
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 7: was the first one to get there, but they just

726
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 7: they were like gangsters. They said, look, I don't know

727
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 7: what our guy did, but he's our guy, so let's

728
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 7: get into it. So that's what I loved about the

729
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 7: response of the offensive line. But the defensive player and

730
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 7: me the petty guy who's upset with all these penalties

731
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 7: being called on defensive players for being too rough and

732
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 7: too physical. I was like, and I really like Singleton

733
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 7: as a player. I love his story. I had to

734
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 7: go to Canada, was cut from multiple teams, and now

735
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 7: he signed like a three year, eighteen million dollar contract

736
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 7: with the Broncos.

737
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 5: Like, I love his story.

738
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 7: So maybe I'm a little bit biased, but I was like, see,

739
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 7: I didn't feel like, and I want to get y'all's

740
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 7: guys take, I didn't feel like Singleton did anything dirty

741
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 7: on that play.

742
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: Well he is something stupid.

743
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 3: Well yeah, not dirt right right, because he fired this

744
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 3: team up even more on a day where they wanted

745
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 3: to be physical. And Singleton's an absolute beast. I mean,

746
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: my goodness, the guy was all over the place. He

747
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: made a play out in space at some point, and

748
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: I think I think I said it on the air

749
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: after the fact, he's over there too.

750
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's in the middle of everything.

751
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, yeah, he's all the way

752
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: on the sideline making a play. He's everywhere, and he's

753
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: a really tough player to deal with. Leading tackler for

754
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: the Broncos. And that's a pretty decent team you pete yesterday,

755
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: no question, a hot team tied for the longest winnings

756
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: and the league going in question for both of you.

757
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 3: Here playoff picture. If the season ended today, the Texans

758
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 3: are still out of it because seven and five. There

759
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: are four teams that are seven and five. Don't get

760
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: me started on these tie breakers, but the fact that

761
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: the Texans have lost to the Colts has them on

762
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 3: the outside looking in at the moment. But of course

763
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: they play Indie again. They're gonna play Cleveland, another seven

764
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 3: and five team.

765
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: They've already beaten the Steelers.

766
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 3: That's irrelevant in the tiebreaker because the division matchup will

767
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 3: take them out first. But again that'll solve itself before

768
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 3: the end of the regular season. But biggest threat to

769
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 3: the Texans coming down the stretch here the Colts, the Browns,

770
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: the Steelers, or one of these six and six.

771
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: Teams getting really hot.

772
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: Denver, Well, you have the tiebreaker against them, or the

773
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills at six and six, Johnny, you go first.

774
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 2: The biggest threat to the Texans is the Texans. Okay,

775
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be really creative with this. It's the Texans.

776
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: And here's here's my biggest thing at this point. It's fatigue.

777
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: Think about the guys that are making place for you

778
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: right now, think about all looking about all the stars

779
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: we've talked about, c J. Stroud with Lanerson, Junior, Derrek

780
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: Stingleydico Collins, how well, how many of those four have

781
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: played a full season.

782
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: In the NFL. I know it's it's definitely, but still no.

783
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 2: I know you will know that, I get it, I

784
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 2: understand it, but it just wears you down.

785
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: And D knows a sixteen game schedule is tough.

786
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: Seventeen when you've never played seventeen before can feel grueling.

787
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 2: Because when you look at the quarterback schedule that's coming up,

788
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah quickly, Tim Boyle, Will Levis, maybe Joe Flacco, the

789
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: ghost of Joe Flacco, Jill Levis, mcgardner, Minshew, you should

790
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: beat all five of those. But you're gonna have to

791
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: fight it each and every week. You're gonna have to

792
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 2: fight fatigue. You're gonna have to fight the wall. I

793
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: think the Texans is the Texas, and not because the

794
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: text will beat themselves, but I just think that fatigue

795
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: and everything that you have to overcome is gonna be

796
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: big Andy.

797
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 7: What do you think I think if we're sitting in

798
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 7: the same room right now, John Harris, I'll punch you

799
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 7: on the shoulders so hard because when Mark asked a question,

800
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 7: I was so excited to say, Oh, I'm gonna say

801
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 7: the Texans are the Texans, and he's like this, this

802
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 7: is why I love listening to you. Literally everything that

803
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 7: you said, I just agree with one. I'm not even joking.

804
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 7: I was all set to say the Texans because I

805
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 7: feel like they're better than every team that's left on

806
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 7: their schedule.

807
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 5: But it's still the NFL.

808
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 7: You still have to prove it, just like Kansas City

809
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 7: didn't prove it against Green Bay last night. And I

810
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 7: still think Kansas City is a better team than Green Bay.

811
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 7: So when you look at the Titans, when you look

812
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 7: at the Jets, when you look at Cleveland without DeShawn

813
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 7: deshaunready forgot his name, DeShawn Watson, you know, the Texans

814
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 7: feel like they're better teams, but you have to figure

815
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 7: out a way to win those.

816
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 5: Last five games.

817
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 7: I don't I'm not gonna sit up here and say

818
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 7: they're all must win, but for them to get into

819
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 7: the playoffs, I just feel like they have to win out.

820
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 7: They they have to win out.

821
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 3: But to Johnny's other point end here, you come down

822
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: the stretch, you do have rookies. I mean, Stroud was

823
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: asked about this last week and just just shot down

824
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: the question about maybe being tired or rookies not playing

825
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: a full NFL season until now. And I'll always say

826
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 3: this about rookies, it's not just the season. It's the

827
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 3: pre draft workout stuff. It's then getting into rookie camp.

828
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 3: The rookies have all these extra meetings too, and workouts

829
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 3: and rookie camp and then OTAs and everything's brand new

830
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: and their heads are spinning.

831
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: And all of that.

832
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 3: What about that part of it as we come down

833
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: the stretch, keeping everybody as fresh as possible for what's

834
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 3: in front of them.

835
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 7: That's a great point, great question. That's where coaches have

836
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 7: to be smart. You know, you can't just give the

837
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 7: Larmie Tunsils of the world a Wednesday off because he's

838
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 7: earned it. He's been in the league for as long

839
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 7: as he's been in the league. Just like you mentioned,

840
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 7: it's a shot to the body. There isn't a rookie

841
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 7: on an NFL roster that's gonna mention, Oh man, the

842
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 7: season is so long.

843
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 5: My body's breaking down, but their body's breaking down.

844
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 7: That's where you have to have that coach that says,

845
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 7: you know what, for the next two weeks, we're only

846
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 7: putting on the spiders.

847
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 5: The soft For those listening, the soft yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

848
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 7: See what we call shells full shoulder pads and shorts

849
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 7: like that meant that means shell, but fighters are soft

850
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 7: shoulder pads where basically you're not going to hit, you're

851
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 7: not going to be overly physical. The rookies that are

852
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 7: still playing, the rookies that are getting time this late

853
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 7: into the season, they know what to do uh physically,

854
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 7: they understand the speed of the game. I would just

855
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 7: focus more on the mental aspect of it and give

856
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 7: them that day off when they're not expecting it, because

857
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 7: you're absolutely right mark this late and season, you're like, oh, wow,

858
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 7: my college season was over and maybe I played in

859
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 7: a bowl game, but other than that, there's an extra

860
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 7: four or five games, four or five weeks of practice.

861
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 7: I think it is where the miko and the coaching

862
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 7: staff says, hey, let's let's take a little bit off

863
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 7: the violence of our practices and.

864
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: The great stuff has always looked forward to seeing you

865
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 3: and hearing you tomorrow as well, my friend.

866
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 5: Thank you appreciate. I'll see all tomorrow. And uh, John,

867
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 5: protect yourself. I'm coming for that shoulder.

868
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I gotta watch myself and my shoulders

869
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 2: don't work in d You know, anybody's playing the football

870
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: in the eighties and nineties, their shoulders don't work, you

871
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: know that.

872
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 7: I mean, look, if I punched you the way my

873
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 7: shoulders fill, You're probably gonna laugh and be like, that's

874
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 7: all you got.

875
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: So you have to put me on the injury report

876
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: questionable shoulder because it would be dead.

877
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's gonna carry equipment. Yep, there you go. All right,

878
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: Thanks ed D. All Right, I'm telling you that's no joke.

879
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: Anybody that was raised the eighties and nineties we.

880
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: All found a segment of this edition of Texans All

881
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 2: Access coming at Yeah from the Hondae Texans Radio Studio.

Speaker 1: I am John Harris Football an ast side of the

883
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: reporter for your Houston Texans.

Speaker 2: It's time to catch up with John McClain, the Hall

885

Speaker 2: of Famer, the General. Here we go, Mark me and

886
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: the General John McClain let's go to general.

887
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 3: What do you think of what you saw yesterday in

888
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 3: RG Stadium? The Latest Thriller.

889
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 8: I thought there was some big players that aren't getting attention.

890
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 8: Dark followed on a fumble and that safety on a stripsack,

891
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 8: Jonathan Grenard getting pressure on the interception by Jimmy Ward

892
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 8: on the last play in which he got all after

893
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 8: Russell Wilson, Brevin Jordan's stepping up and averaging twenty yards

894
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 8: of catch, and the best pass of the day was

895
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 8: a fourteen yarder in which Stroud rolled left, had to

896
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 8: start going at an angle, guy was all over him,

897
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 8: and he floated a pass that was perfectly thrown to

898
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 8: Brevin Jordan. I don't know Patrick Malmes, you know there's

899
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 8: certain guys out there. I don't think Josh Allen could

900
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 8: have made it because it required too much the ness.

901
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 8: But it was so impressive. I know dan Orlowski broke

902
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 8: that down last night and how impressed he was as well.

903
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 8: It was a floater and it was perfect. And another

904
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 8: thing that's weird with a running game that was pathetic.

905
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 8: In the second half, thirteen carried twelve yards and without

906
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 8: Tangdell or Noah Brown or Robert Woods catching a pass.

907
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 8: They still win the games. Trouts still throws for two

908
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 8: hundred and seventy four yards. And most important to the

909
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 8: team with the most turnovers in the NFL twenty two

910
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 8: that had fifteen in the last four games, left with

911
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 8: twenty two and fifteen in the last five games. Not

912
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 8: turning it over, being plus three because of Derek Stingley

913
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 8: Junior and Jimmy Ward's interceptions was phenomenal. And you guys,

914
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 8: I think Will Anderson had eight pressures that tied his

915
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 8: career high. Now they're going to New York. If Ian

916
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 8: Stingley come close to playing in New York or New

917
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 8: Jersey like they played yesterday, they're going to get so

918
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 8: much positive pub And if Anderson closes fast, he's got

919
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 8: a chance to win the defensive Rookie Year over Jalen

920
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 8: Carter from the Eagles, who's been getting all the positive up.

921
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 8: The Eagles are kind of struggling right now, so I

922
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 8: think it's there for Will Anderson to take and with

923
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 8: five sacks, you remember who only had six and a

924
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 8: half as a rookie and he turned out to be

925
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:11,959
Speaker 8: pretty good.

926
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're talking about, uh, some guy who

927
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: were ninety nine at least the yeah, talking about I

928
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: feel like generally, I feel like you're scolding us. I

929
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 2: mean we've only been on the air for half an hour,

930
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 2: so we haven't gotten everything. Haven't gotten everything yet. You

931
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 2: know the darker group Wally play. I'm glad you brought

932
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 2: it up because that that was massive. I mean that

933
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: that the whole universe changes if if they get the

934
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 2: ball right there but instead put it to him. The

935
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 2: very next play was Derek Stingley's interception off for Will Anderson.

936
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 1: Tip which one do you think in general this.

937
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: Is gonna be hard because it's going to be like

938
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: picking between your two kids in some sense, which player,

939
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: which number three overall? Pick do you think had the

940
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: biggest impact yesterday? Will Anderson Junior or Derek Stingley Junior.

941
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 8: You can't uh, you can't beat turning the ball over

942
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 8: and Will Anderson played up from now no game. But

943
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 8: Derek Stingley had two interceptions. One was a great play

944
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 8: in which he looked like a wide receiver showing incredible

945
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 8: ball skills. The other one and tipped by Will Anderson,

946
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 8: in which he was on the ground when he caught

947
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 8: the ball. We're just tremendous plays. That's four and three games.

948
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 8: People keep talking, well, sauce Gardner's only got two and

949
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 8: two seasons. People are the layoff sauce Gardner. You know,

950
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 8: he may come back and play the best game of

951
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 8: his career, and you know this game coming up means

952
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 8: a lot to Stingley. But when you're getting that kind

953
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 8: of pressure from Anderson and Grenard and the interior past

954
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 8: rush was good. They got pressure, they hit Russell Wilson.

955
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 8: I thought Wilson played about as well as he could play.

956
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 8: And then the phenomenal interception by Jimmy Ward at the

957
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 8: end of the game. You know, this team just it's

958
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 8: taken on the persona Demico Riots and that's great and

959
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 8: it's amazing to me. Tomiko said he want to talk

960
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 8: about the past. Well, you know what, that's my lead

961
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 8: on my column for tomorrow Sports Radio six to ten

962
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 8: dot com. And I'm going to say it's easy for

963
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 8: him to say because he didn't have to suffer through it.

964
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 8: While he's going to the playoffs, in the championship game

965
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 8: and getting close to the Super Bowl. People here were suffering.

966
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 8: So that's why people remember it. And the job he

967
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 8: has done has been extraordinary, and all the coaches, Bobby Slowick,

968
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 8: Frank Ross, Matt Burke, all the position coaches are doing

969
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 8: a fantastic job. To see the Texans with seven victories

970
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 8: right now, Demiko, there's some great coaching jobs going on.

971
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 8: Shane stikeens one of them at Indy. They keep winning,

972
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 8: playing a dog schedule. That last game could be for

973
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 8: the playoffs, could be for Coach of the Year. That

974
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 8: game's going to have the magnitude of last year's game,

975
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 8: just for a whole different reason.

976
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 2: We've been talking about that Week eighteen game with the

977
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: Colts for a little while now, and it's a long

978
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: way off. It's a long way off, and a lot

979
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 2: can happen in the four games prior to and as

980
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: you know, the Texas have Jets, Titans, Browns, Titans. You

981
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: have one team that's four and eight, one team seven

982
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 2: and five. The Titans are four and eight and they're

983
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: four to eight, and then of course you got the

984
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 2: Colts to finish up.

985
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: So Colts are playing good ball.

986
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 2: Shane Steike and he's been an outstanding head coach for Indianapolis.

987
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: But you know where partial to our guy, Demko Ryans

988
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: either way, that
