30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: report out. There is one big question, Mark, who is questioned?

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: A bull that came up on Thursday, and it's one

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: of those you're at practice and you kind of Mark

33
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: and I do this a lot.

34
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: We like walk right up and go, hey, where's this

35
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: guy's number?

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah?

37
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And all it took was forty eight. We're like, oh, no,

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: where's christianairis? Christian Harris is questionable for this game? And

39
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 2: hopefully there's news that's good that we'll see Christian Harris

40
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: on Saturday against the Chiefs. But Mark, I'll say this,

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: I'll say this. I remember getting asked this question earlier

42
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: in the year, actually early in even before training camp.

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: I was doing I think a Memorial Day show and

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: I can't remember who I was with. I think I

45
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: may have been be Scott that I was doing it with,

46
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: or it's it's Radio six to ten, and he asked

47
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: me how concerned I was about the linebacking corps. And

48
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: at that point we didn't know anything about Christian Harris

49
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: is way back in Mey getting ready for May or

50
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: June whatever on the team. Jesus on the team and

51
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: Christian Harris. Those are the two that we kind of

52
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: knew of. Like how concerned was I about the linebacking crew?

53
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: And like, you know, that's actually a pretty good question

54
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: because we had not seen Henry I think at OTA's

55
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: until the second week, so this is before that.

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: Even so we.

57
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: Weren't sure kind of what was going on with Henry,

58
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: you know, coming back for some things as a rookie.

59
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: You know, how is that going to go? You know,

60
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: they brought in dush On Phillips, but he thought more

61
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: he's more special teams. Hey, we know Neville can play

62
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: the run really well, but you know, the passing game

63
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: and that can be trouble.

64
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: Maybe the linebackers, boy, is that really? Is it a

65
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: sore spot? And the what I thought about it, I

66
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: was like, man, maybe it is.

67
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: Well, because you were missing Blake. He's no longer with

68
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: the team at that point, right right, Blake was gone too,

69
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: and so you lost the starter.

70
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: Denzel Perriman was no longer there.

71
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: So you throw all that in and you think, man, Okay,

72
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: maybe man, maybe behind disease and Christian boy, we maybe

73
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: have some issues.

74
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: It couldn't be further from the truth.

75
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: Now that you're without a disease, you might be without

76
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: Christian and.

77
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: That's not a great thing. Don't get me wrong.

78
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: But I don't sit there and go, oh my god,

79
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna get absolutely tortured because you can play Neville,

80
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: you can play Devin White next to Henry. To me

81
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: and I've I saw a tweet the other day and

82
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I was in reference to,

83
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: but it was like, just wait until we get disease

84
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: and Christian Harris together. I'm like, Henry toto is playing

85
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: as well as any defensive player wearing our colors. Yeah,

86
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean, he's as good as anybody, and he's handled

87
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: all the communication.

88
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: To me, Henry totoe has got to be in this lineup.

89
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: But your thoughts if Christian doesn't play, does it for me?

90
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: It's kind of changed. Like I mean, it's not great news,

91
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: and I don't want it to be a lingering thing.

92
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: But the flip side of it is, I think the

93
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: linebackers will still play pretty well. I think Billy Davis

94
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: and Emiko have done a great job in coaching him up,

95
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: and I think they'll play fine.

96
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: They've got enough depth to deal with it. The question is,

97
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: what did we talk about going into the Dolphins game

98
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: without a ease?

99
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: Right?

100
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: Are you gonna be able to cover whoever you need

101
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: to cover? And that's a different kind of attack than

102
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: this is the thing that you worry about with the

103
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: Chiefs is obviously Kelsey. Look at the volume of catches

104
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: and look at Noah Gray as well, who's a big

105
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: factor for them. And the receivers are the receivers. But

106
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: you've got DB's galore on this team right now, even

107
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: without Petrie. You feel pretty good about the situation. We

108
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: talked to Corey Unlin last night. That was a great interview.

109
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of podcasts, great last night's show

110
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: with McLean and Unlin was a terrific program and I

111
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: actually listened to it again on podcasts Walking the Dog

112
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: just to hear Unlin because there's so many little nuggets

113
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: in there about his crew, his DBS and being the

114
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: defensive passing game coordinator. Anyway, I feel fine about it.

115
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 4: You just have to cover Kelsey, just have to cover

116
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: that guy, Travis Kelsey.

117
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: Johnny he is perplexing.

118
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: He is slippery, as big as he is and as

119
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: big a target as he is physically and also met

120
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: a physically, because he's the one that they look for

121
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 4: in those key situations. They're very good on third down offensively,

122
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: but it's Kelsey. I mean, how many of these passes

123
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: go to Kelsey on third down? And how many times

124
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: does he draw attention? And maybe somebody else gets the

125
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: reception because Kelsey drew attention his way. But you gotta

126
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: find a way to stick to him. You gotta velpro

127
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 4: yourself to Travis Kelcey. Linebackers, safeties. I don't know how

128
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: you handle it. Hey, best game or one of the

129
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 4: best games you ever had against Travis Kelcey was what

130
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen Week two? Right?

131
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: Sixteen Week two? Twenty sixteen Week two? And would you

132
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: put on him? You put aj Boyer on that's right?

133
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: Quick?

134
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 4: You had a cornerback on I don't know if they

135
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: do that this time? Do you put Stingley on Kelsey? Look,

136
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they're going to do it, but you

137
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: have all these conversations like what should we do about

138
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey. You know they've talked about it a lot

139
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 4: and Demiko I'm sure has an idea. He's a great

140
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: defensive game planner. Yes, if you had any doubts about that,

141
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: didn't last week erase them, folks holding this Miami team

142
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 4: to twelve points.

143
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: My goodness, listen to Corey Alan talk about Demko's game plan. Yeah,

144
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: what they came up with for the Dolphins. I mean,

145
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: the man can game plan. There's no question what I've

146
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: come to realize about Kelsey and I think this is

147
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit tougher against Hop but with Kelsey

148
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: you've got to eliminate his space and you've got to

149
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: hug up on him because he's the kind of guy

150
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: that doesn't really run a route as much as he

151
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: just runs to open space. Yeah, so if you're covering

152
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: and I think ironically it was against Justin Reid where

153
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: I saw something, I'm like, what the absolute f was that? Again,

154
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: in the playoff game, Justin is in perfect coverage on

155
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: Kelsey made.

156
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: A man on his hip right where he needs to be.

157
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: So when Kelsey turns, he realizes this isn't this isn't right,

158
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: Like he knows that he's right there. So Kelsey flips

159
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: around and flips back the other way and as soon

160
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: as he does, the balls thrown to him because Mahomes

161
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: and Kelsey over the years aren't so much playing a route,

162
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: they're playing the coverage and the space. So Kelsey will

163
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: run what what the hell route was that? And it

164
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: basically was he's running to get open.

165
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Basketball, so tough. It's basketball exactly.

166
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 6: It is what it is.

167
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: It's really his basketball.

168
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: You're not open there, get open here and I'll find you.

169
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: And Mahomes has Now the key is you have to

170
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: have the quarterback who can see it.

171
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: Two, I'm just gonna hit the open quickly and just

172
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: do those things. Yes, and he does. That's all it is.

173
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: It's you go to the post, you're covered, come on outside,

174
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: all right now, now be a stretch for take the reception.

175
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: And in football it's pretty much over once he catches it.

176
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: In basketball you still have to score. But it's that

177
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: kind of thing. Just get open, get to an open area.

178
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: And it's sounds simple. It's almost like art though I

179
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: drew it's like that horse drawing. Yeah, the back of

180
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: the horse is all really nicely drawn on the front

181
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: of the horses, like you know, it's some people are

182
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: in the back of the horse drawing. Some people are like,

183
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: I don't do this so well, it's easier said than done,

184
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 4: like so many things in professional football, like having a

185
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: free kick, And I'm just kidding them.

186
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: How about going back to last night's game.

187
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: That was awesome as soon as I saw them pump

188
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: the ball and I was looking at the time. I

189
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe I'm just wound that way now I

190
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: thought about it, you did. I I love I love

191
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: end of the end of half, end of games. I

192
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: mean like I love it. I just think I think

193
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: there's so much inefficiency, especially.

194
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: In college football.

195
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: College football is a disaster when it comes to that stuff.

196
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: NFL guys are much much better. A lot of teams

197
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: have somebody that that does it or.

198
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 4: Better that helps the coach. The whole league has gotten better.

199
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, time management.

200
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: But they're still missing like the Jets last two weeks.

201
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: Actually last two weeks is terrible, absolutely terrible. But I

202
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: also liked the way that the Broncos did it. At

203
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: the end of the game. They're down ten, right, they

204
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: kicked a field goal once they got in Lutz's you know,

205
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: his his area, and figured, you know, within his range,

206
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: he can hit this. They kicked it with a minute left. Yeah,

207
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: and I was.

208
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Like I was, I was like, Sean, not hate you,

209
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: but this is brilliant. Now you go on side.

210
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: Now you go on side, and if you get it,

211
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: now you have a chance with a touchdown drive right

212
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: as opposed to well we got a hell mary shot

213
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: because you kept moving the ball for it doesn't matter

214
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: how you score and what order you scoring.

215
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: And so we're gotting four than fifteen next year, what's that?

216
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: We're getting the fourth and fifteen?

217
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 5: I think.

218
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: So they'll make it more exciting. Yeah, they're not. Nobody's

219
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: recovering outs like kicks. That's taking away terrible that drama

220
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: at the end. In some sense, all the rules.

221
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 4: They put in place the old days were great. We're

222
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: gonna load up this side. Yeah, I mean I love

223
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: that stuff. But who were we rooting for last night?

224
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 4: I was thinking the Chargers. I was kind of thinking

225
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: the Chargers.

226
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: Two. Yeah, I was kind of thinking of the Chargers too.

227
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 2: Then I had I had this epiphany, what happens if

228
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: the Steelers beat the Ravens. Yeah, just go with me

229
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: in this. Okay, Steelers beat the Ravens. We beat the Ravens.

230
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: The Chargers and Broncos went out. So who do we

231
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: get then? Exactly, Well, we wouldn't get the Ravens. The

232
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: Ravens would fall to the six or the seven and we.

233
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: Wouldn't get the Ravens.

234
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: I like that.

235
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: So because the Ravens are right now at they're nine

236
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: and five like us, they're nine in five. So if

237
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: the Ravens were to lose the next two yep, and

238
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: Denver wins out, well, Denver doesn't even have to win.

239
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,239
Speaker 1: Who wins the tire? Oh, the Ravens win the tiebreaker

240
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: because of the Ravens beat them as their head.

241
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: But but uh, that was one thing that I thought of.

242
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: And you don't need both of them to move in

243
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: front of the Ravens. Yeah, you don't eat both of them.

244
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: And the thing is that the Steeler. But here's the

245
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: other thing too, This is where you could kind of backfire.

246
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: The Steelers' final three games are as tough as it gets, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals.

247
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: So the Steelers end up with but if they beat

248
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: the Ravens, they get their eleventh wins. Ravens lose too,

249
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: they can't catch them, so good to go there, right,

250
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 4: So you get the Denver Broncos or the Chargers right there, one.

251
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: Of them catches fire and wins the last two. Yeah. Fine,

252
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,239
Speaker 1: And Sean brought up a good point. You beat the Chiefs.

253
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: I mean you want you don't want to be the

254
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 4: three seed because you don't want to go to Buffalo.

255
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: You'd rather go to Kansas City than Buffalo. I did

256
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: I just say that out loud. Well, wouldn't really rather

257
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 4: go to Kansas City than Buffalo? Would I'd rather?

258
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: I know Buffalo's tough.

259
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: So let's put together put Toto much stock in Buffalo

260
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: right now, because if do I want to go to

261
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 4: the Chiefs a place where they have utter confidence that

262
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: they're gonna get to the super Bowl again, they just

263
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: assume it's gonna happen all and they play with that

264
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: kind of bravado or Buffalo, Where are we really gonna

265
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: do this?

266
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: Are we really is? Josh really think gets tight early?

267
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: You never know? But here's here's the thought.

268
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: Though, I've gotten to where I don't care.

269
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't care where I don't care.

270
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: I just I want to get in that wild card

271
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: round against whomever knock them out and then go sixty minutes, guys,

272
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: sixty minutes of I think sixty minutes of this team's

273
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: best football, sixty minutes of this team's best football, sixty

274
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: consistent minutes can beat anybody, anywhere, anytime.

275
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree with

276
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: what do you.

277
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 2: Want, Kansasity or Buffalo second round? We can talk about it.

278
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: First of all, I want to get through the first round.

279
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: I want to tangle with Kansas City and Baltimore. It's

280
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,119
Speaker 2: not gonna like this conversation.

281
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 5: He's not.

282
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: I honestly, this is not a popular opinion. I think

283
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: I'd rather go to Buffalo as long as it's not

284
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: zero degrees in snow covered field and all that. If

285
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: it's reason and I don't know if that's possible in

286
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: the month of January and Buffalo to have reasonable weather.

287
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 4: Reasonable I'm talking about twenty five degrees, no precipitation. Yeah,

288
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: Like we're gonna have this weekend in Kansas City, right,

289
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: get reasonable city?

290
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Good? Tune up for a winter weather playoff game? Yeah,

291
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: because we're gonna go on the road in the playoffs.

292
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: I don't I mean, yeah, I don't think we can't

293
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: get to the two seed.

294
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: But I got a text from salth.

295
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: The other night and Sally was like, dude, please win,

296
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: and I wrote back, I was like it in us that.

297
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: I mean, we're the only home game Kansas City has left. Yeah,

298
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: and then it's Steelers and it's Broncos. I mean, if

299
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: it's tough, like my guess is Kansas City is going

300
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: to sell out to win this football game and then

301
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: hope Buffalo loses one. I don't know, it's I mean,

302
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a very interesting Saturday, to say the least.

303
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: I know, the Chargers swept the Broncos, but would you

304
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: rather see the Broncos?

305
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Are the Chargers?

306
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: Is that a reasonable question or is it obviously you'd

307
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: rather see the Broncos because the Broncos to me, first half,

308
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: the way Nicks was playing, he was watching them playing well.

309
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: I think both of them played like that this year.

310
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: I mean the Chargers. The Chargers moment was against Tampa

311
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: Bay last week. It was like, I'll tell up play

312
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: that Chargers team and the Broncos have had some moments,

313
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: so they've gotten better and better. That second half like

314
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: they just disappeared. I think both of them have warts.

315
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: I don't mind playing either one of them.

316
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think Herbert here against this defense,

317
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: he's gonna have some issues.

318
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Well, I think they have a ton of them too. Yeah,

319
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: you know what will do Nicks will do this.

320
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: Think think think, think think, and then if you get frustrated,

321
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you get anxious, you get impatient,

322
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: and you do something stupid and heard the top. What

323
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: you didn't do against Miami was that you let them

324
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: take the little stuff, the little stuff, the little stuff,

325
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: the little stuff never gave up, and you're just like fine, fine,

326
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the way you have to approach

327
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: Denver in some sense.

328
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: So it'll be kind of interesting about that.

329
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 7: Now.

330
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: The one guy that would hate to hear the conversation

331
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: we just had talking about future playoff games is one

332
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: Demico Ryans, and he's up with Mark Wright now coach.

333
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely huge situation going to Arrowhead Stadium, playing this kind

334
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: of game, national stage, this time of year. I know

335
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 4: you like to keep everything level headed, but there's some

336
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 4: extra oom fund this one. How do you keep it

337
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: all together with the team.

338
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, he trying to keep the guys as level as possible,

339
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 8: but I know everyone is going to be a little

340
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 8: amped up for this game because you're talking about going

341
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 8: against the best team in football. For the past few years,

342
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 8: they've proven that. They've won super Bowls, They've they've had

343
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 8: a ton of success. So for us, we have a

344
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 8: really young team, a lot of guys never been to

345
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 8: Arrowhead before. So I'm just excited to see our guys

346
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 8: go and compete and just play their best football versus

347
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 8: a really good team.

348
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 4: All Right, they're really good on third down offense, You're

349
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: really good at third down defense. So something's got to

350
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: give coach, what about that matchup third down them versus you?

351
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 7: They need to give give us a ball on third down.

352
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 7: That's what needs to happen.

353
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Now.

354
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 7: They do a really great.

355
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 8: Job of just I mean, I think their routes, everything

356
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 8: that they do, they do a really good job. Whether

357
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 8: you're in man cover is they do a great job

358
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 8: of uncovering when you're a man.

359
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 7: They do a great job of sitting down in the zones.

360
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 8: So it's just gonna be about playing tight, whether it's

361
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 8: zone or man. We got to play tight and we

362
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 8: have to plaster I meaning we have to stay on guys.

363
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 8: When Patrick is leaving the pocket, we have to stay

364
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 8: on our guys and as up until we have to

365
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 8: cover him twice and hopefully that buys our D line

366
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 8: a little time to put enough pressure on him to

367
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 8: get rid of the football.

368
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: Well, everybody talks about the quarterback, but they run the ball.

369
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: They like to do that, and the quarterback likes to

370
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: run with the football too.

371
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: He's very dangerous that.

372
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 7: Way, Yeah, he is. They run the ball to keep

373
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 7: you honest.

374
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 8: We should be good in the run game, like to

375
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 8: run the ball up the middle, so our guys enter

376
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 8: your D line.

377
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 7: Going to be huge when it comes to that.

378
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 8: And Patrick also like he'll get the ball on the

379
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 8: outside lane when they's scrambling. Guys have to stay in

380
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 8: coverage until he crosses the line of scrimmats where he's

381
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 8: hurting a lot of people. Is he haven't crossed the

382
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 8: line of scrimmats. Guys uncover trying to go get the

383
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 8: quarterback and he just up drops the ball over the

384
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 8: head for a touchdown.

385
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 7: So we have to remain disciplined, all right.

386
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 8: It's going to take elite discipline and we got an

387
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 8: elite focus and we have to make sure we're finishing

388
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 8: every single play.

389
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: All right.

390
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: What about facing that defense, Chris Jones, do they move

391
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 4: him around a lot.

392
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: How do they handle that? How do you handle that?

393
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 8: Chris is all over the place, dominant D lineman. I

394
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 8: can't say D tackle. He'll line up at the end,

395
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 8: line up at tackle, all over the place. We have

396
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 8: to go out and play physical, play aggressive on him early,

397
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 8: and stay after him. He'll be all across the line

398
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 8: of scrimmage.

399
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 7: You know.

400
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 8: We'll try to slide to him and protection. Sometimes guy's

401
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 8: gonna be matched at one on one. However, it looks

402
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 8: there'll be a lot of different looks, a lot of

403
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 8: different protections for us. But at the end of the day,

404
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 8: like mindset and finished, that's what we.

405
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 7: Want, all right.

406
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 4: So playing special teams, Tommy has great familiarity here.

407
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: So what about the kicking game phase of things.

408
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, Tommy, he needs to share all this, all the

409
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 8: secrets with this. Tommy has it all.

410
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 7: But special teams wise, they do a really.

411
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 8: Good job in the return game when it comes to

412
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 8: punt return and kick off return. A lot of their

413
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 8: focuses on making sure they get it blocked up the

414
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 8: proper way, and they have really good players, especially their linebacker.

415
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 8: They do a really good job on all of their

416
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 8: special teams. So this special teams. Game is gonna come

417
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 8: down to our linebackers versus their linebackers. Gotta see those

418
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 8: guys play fast and physical. We play fast and physical

419
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 8: as well. But we just have to outwork them. And

420
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 8: that's what it's gonna be on specialty. Outwork these guys.

421
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 8: They're a good return unit. Can we outwork them? Can

422
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 8: we cover well and hopefully try to get the football.

423
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 4: Out one more getting ready for the noise on offense,

424
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 4: especially of course, but Arrowhead Stadium one of the loudest

425
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 4: in the league, if not the loudest.

426
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: But you are also at Minnesota. You've been in some

427
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: tough environments this year. That's got to help.

428
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, going to Minnesota is definitely like a barometer for it. Like, hey, guys,

429
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 8: this is what it's gonna be like. You remember Minnesota,

430
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 8: this is what Arrowhead is like. So we got to

431
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 8: make sure CJ. We're in a tight huddle, make sure

432
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 8: we're communicating. Everybody understands like, we gotta get out of

433
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 8: the huddle fast so we can get to the line

434
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 8: of scrimmage, make our calls, make our checks, and we

435
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 8: just got to make sure the pre snap isn't an issue.

436
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 8: Right if we can get to the line and we

437
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 8: can operate. Get the ball snap Now we can go

438
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 8: play football, but we can't allow their cryw to dictate

439
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 8: our tempo and getting in and out of.

440
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: The total cool. Thanks a lot, coach, good luck.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

463
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 4: It's weird though, because the Chiefs need it bad for

464
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 4: a number one seed possibility. The Texans don't need it

465
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 4: as badly, but I feel like they want it badly.

466

00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 9: Ryan's talk, hearing the guys in the locker room, you know,

469
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 9: they view this game not necessarily as a litmus test,

470
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 9: even though it is. You know, I think a lot

471
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 9: of guys feel if they can win this and they

472
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 9: will probably feel like they can be any team in

473
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 9: the playoffs. So you know, they want to play a

474
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 9: really good game. Plus you also want to be playing

475
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 9: your best ball in December, and and that is why

476
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 9: you won't see the Texans, you know, bench players or

477
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 9: sit players or rest players, because they feel like these

478
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 9: games are very important leading up to the playoffs, and

479
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 9: it was important last year.

480
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what about playing in that environment Arrowhead Stadium.

481
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 4: It's just one of the toughest in the league, and

482
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: obviously the team they're playing against makes it very tough.

483
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: But the building itself.

484
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: I've been in there when the Chiefs haven't been even

485
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: that good, but it's still difficult to play there.

486
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, it's one of the loudest stadiums in

487
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 9: the league, and it'll have an effect on this game.

488
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 9: And we saw the Texans in the past have issues

489
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 9: in super loud environments like lambeau Field and US Bank

490
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 9: Stadium when the Texans lost to the Vikings. So you know,

491
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 9: can the offensive line communicate? I think that's going to

492
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 9: be really important because you know it's going to be

493
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 9: loud in there.

494
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 4: What about the offensive line, we expect the same kind

495
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 4: of thing with Titus at left guard. They get Kenyan

496
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 4: Green activated, but we'll see how they do it.

497
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: Nobody knows for sure.

498
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on the way they played last

499
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: week and the progress they can make moving forward.

500
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 9: I looked at every single sack and it was only like,

501
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 9: really two secs that you were kind of like, ah,

502
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 9: they got to fix those stunt plays. And the Dolphins

503
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 9: obviously did a couple of things to try to test

504
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 9: Titus Howard in their guard situation. But for the most part,

505
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 9: CJ looked like he was comfortable. He wasn't rushed in

506
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 9: his process like we saw against the Jets, like we

507
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 9: saw against the Packers. He had time in the pocket

508
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 9: to operate and to make plays. Now, I think the

509
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 9: Texans do have to run the ball a little bit

510
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 9: better to make things comfortable for the passing offense. But

511
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 9: the offensive line play played well as far as from

512
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 9: a pass protection standpoint.

513
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 4: Jonathan Alexander from The Chronicle with us on Texans Radio.

514
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 4: When I look back on the Dolphin game a week ago,

515
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 4: we sat here and we were wondering what was going

516
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 4: to happen. I don't know about you, but I just

517
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 4: didn't know what to expect. I thought they'd play hard.

518
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: What was your reaction to the way they played, the

519
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 4: way CJ looked, and especially the defense, because the defense

520
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 4: shined in that one.

521
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought there were some positives and some negatives.

522
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 9: You know, I thought it was gonna be even matchup too,

523
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 9: But really the defense just dominated, and Derek Singley's playing

524
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 9: at an all pro level, all pro sting for sure.

525
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 9: Will Anderson had the sack fumble, which was critical, and

526
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 9: the punt return had a huge play. I think the

527
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 9: offense did a good job in the sense that it

528
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 9: cash in on the defensive mistakes, which they hadn't done

529
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 9: in the past with consistency, so that was important. But

530
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 9: they weren't really able to string together the long drives

531
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 9: and I think that has to improve. And like I

532
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 9: mentioned a little bit earlier, it starts with a running game.

533
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 9: They never really established to run. The Dolphins really out

534
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 9: possessing them. They had the ball for most of the game,

535
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 9: and I think the key for the Texans when it

536
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 9: comes to the offense is really making sure Joe Mixon

537
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 9: is established and is running well.

538
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 4: They won the division beating Miami and the Colts losing

539
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 4: to Denver last week, And as we reflect on this,

540
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 4: were you expecting the Colts to be better than they were?

541
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: Ultimately?

542
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 4: I know they have three games left and they could

543
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 4: still have a winning season, actually if they went out here.

544
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if people expect that, But your thoughts

545
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: on their situation because it is really dicey right now

546
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 4: with Anthony Richardson of the mistakes he's been making.

547
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, I expected the Coast to fence with the nine

548
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 9: and eight records, so I expected them to be averaged.

549
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 9: I didn't think this offseason that they took many steps

550
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 9: to get better. They didn't improve. They resigned a lot

551
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 9: of their pieces, but they didn't add many new pieces,

552
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 9: and they had a pretty good draft. But I didn't

553
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 9: foresee the regression of Anthony Richardson. I expected him to

554
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 9: get better and then the coast also. Saint Stison also

555
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 9: made that decision to bench Anthony Richardson, and I think

556
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 9: that hurt a little bit. But they definitely need to

557
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 9: put some more support around Anthony Richardson. I think the

558
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 9: focus of their offense needs to be running the football.

559
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 9: I think that's where it needs to start. I think

560
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 9: Shane Steison has a tendency to overthrow the ball and

561
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 9: that obviously does not work well for Anthony Richardson. So

562
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 9: I was a little bit surprised that they've been as

563
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 9: bad as they were, but I always expected them to

564
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 9: be just an average team.

565
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: All right.

566
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: So here we are on the round robin with the

567
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 4: Texans taking on the Chiefs and the Steelers against Baltimore

568
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 4: than they flip for Christmas Day.

569
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: Steelers Baltimore. What are your thoughts on that matchup?

570
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 9: Jonathan, Yeah, for some reason, Ravens have trouble with the Steelers.

571
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 9: I think I saw a stat maybe like thirteen out

572
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 9: of last fourteen they've lost or something along those lines,

573
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 9: and don't hold me to that, but they just Mike

574
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 9: Tomlin just seems to have Lamar Jackson's number. So I'm

575
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 9: not gonna pick. Knowing that and knowing how often the

576
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 9: Steelers have won, I'm not gonna pick the Ravens to

577
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 9: win this one.

578
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 4: That would be a weird dynamic. If the Texans take

579
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 4: on the Ravens on Christmas, then the Ravens are back

580
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: here in the postseason.

581
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, and that could easily happen, and I foresee that

582
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 9: being probably the most likely scenario. And I think it's

583
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 9: better off that the Texans play, you know, the Ravens

584
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 9: in our Nargee Stadium. I think they sent a better

585
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 9: chance to Ravens struggling with their past defense this season

586
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 9: and playing them at home is much better set up

587
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 9: them playing it. And I think the Texans have learned

588
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 9: a lot from that loss, and I think they went

589
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 9: out and got pieces to defeat that type of raven See.

590
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: What year did you get here? With the Chronicle twenty

591
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty two, So twenty twenty two, So you covered an

592
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: interesting season in twenty twenty two.

593
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, you cover the Panthers before that. What would you

594
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 4: make of covering the Jets right now? How bizarre would

595
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 4: that be? With what's going on with the owner? These

596
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 4: stories breaking about Madden ratings determining things, and game balls

597
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 4: being given away by his kids. It just weird stuff

598
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 4: in that organization. As a reporter, you'd rather win, would

599
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 4: rather cover a winning team. But would you enjoy covering

600
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: something like that?

601
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 3: Would you?

602
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: How would you regard that?

603
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 9: Okay, as a reporter, the worst thing to cover is

604
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 9: an average, boring team.

605
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: Okay, if you're not.

606
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 9: Covering a winning team, you want to cover a dysfunctional

607
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 9: team with a whole bunch of leaks. It always produces

608
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 9: interesting stories and interesting storylines. You're always writing about the

609
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 9: top pick, so that can sometimes be fun too. It

610
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 9: has to be an exciting bad team. It can't be

611
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 9: an average team. So yeah, I mean, there was a

612
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 9: little bit of a similarity between what the Jets are

613
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 9: going through now and what I was dealing with with

614
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 9: the Panthers, because they had a lot of leaks and

615
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 9: the Panthers, uh, they also had an owner who was

616
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 9: often meddling in football affairs when he shouldn't have. So

617
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 9: I was actually, you know, surprised that when I read

618
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 9: that story, a little bit of the Jet story, I

619
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 9: was surprised that, you know, the Panthers didn't have a

620
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 9: story that came out on David Tepper like that. But

621
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 9: you know that happens. It's just a lot of dysfunction,

622
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 9: and it's why this team isn't as good despite all

623
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 9: the talent that they have.

624
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: What do you think is gonna happen with the Jaguars

625
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: when we get to the offseason.

626
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's a good chance Douck Peterson will

627
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 9: be fired and they'll end up kind of trying to

628
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 9: figure out how to rebuild this team. With Trevor Lawrence

629
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 9: as quarterback and Brian Thomas, who's a really good receiver,

630
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 9: they have a lot of key pieces. I think they'll

631
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 9: kind of try to continue to build that and they'll

632
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 9: and they'll find a coach who is better suited to

633
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 9: take them to the place. And I still believe that

634
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 9: Trevor Lawrence could be a really good quarter back in

635
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 9: his league.

636
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 4: NFC the division you used to cover, so Tampa Bay

637
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 4: leads it, but it's a real slim margin because if

638
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 4: Atlanta somehow ties with them, they have the tiebreaker. But

639
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 4: here's Atlanta starting. Michael Pennix. Are you surprised the Bucks are?

640
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say as good as they are because

641
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: they're not great, but they're good. They're entertaining too. They're

642
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 4: eight and six and they lead that division. Atlanta seven

643
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 4: and seven. After Cousins throw all those picks, he's out thoughts.

644
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 9: I am a little bit surprised about Baker, Like when

645
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 9: I saw him at Carolina, he was struggling, but he's

646
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 9: really having a resurgence of the year. He definitely has

647
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 9: good weapons, and I think they're even though they have

648
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 9: issues on defense, they're probably the best team in NFC South.

649
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 9: I don't know what to make of Michael Pennix, especially

650
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 9: coming in this late in the year. Yeah, Kirk Cousins

651
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 9: was just he was really failing. They had to bench him.

652
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 9: But I don't know what you can expect from a

653
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 9: rookie at week what what are we week fifteen? Sixteen?

654
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, sixteen.

655
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 9: You know that's hard to imagine, you know him, you know,

656
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 9: turning this team into a playoff team that can win

657
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 9: games in January, so you know, I fully expect the

658
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 9: Bucks to be the team that comes out victorious.

659
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 4: So how bizarre is it for you that we have

660
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: this college football playoff, because now that we're here, it's

661
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: just strange looking. You know, you got Notre Dame Indiana

662
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 4: and then the three games on Saturday, and I'm not

663
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 4: asking you to pick them, but it's just a weird deal.

664
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: And you have the NFL right up against college football playoffs.

665
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: It's just bizarre.

666
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: But it's fun.

667
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm so used to like the bowl games. Every

668
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 9: now and then a bowl game will come up, and

669
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 9: I was just recently looking and I saw Texas had

670
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 9: a game coming up, and I'm just like, this is

671
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 9: just it just doesn't feel normal. But maybe it'll be.

672
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 9: I think it'll be exciting though. It'll be exciting to

673
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 9: see a tournament style and you can and now you

674
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 9: won't have the arguments that you used to have them, like, oh,

675
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 9: we should have made it, this team should have made

676
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 9: it until the college playoff. Now these teams can all

677
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 9: battle it out and see who really is the best

678
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 9: team in college football?

679
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 4: Are you a college basketball guy or an NBA guy?

680
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 4: If you have to pick one or the other. What

681
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 4: do you pick it?

682
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

683
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 7: Okay.

684
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 9: I grew up on college basketball. It is my true love.

685
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 9: But probably recently I've become more of an NBA guy

686
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 9: just loving the players. Steph Curry is my favorite player.

687
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 9: I love Lebron James, so I think I'm a little

688
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 9: bit more of an NBA guy.

689
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, cool, Jonathan, what do you have going on

690
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,240

695
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 9: but for now she can be in America with her

696
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,720

712
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 2: keys to the game for this one against the Kansas

713
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: City Chiefs.

714
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: That's next, the Texas All Access.

715
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's get after right here on Texans All

716
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: Access from Kansas City as we get ready to take

717
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 2: on the chief or as Toro would like to call him,

718
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs because he makes a point.

719
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: Leaf leaves.

720
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: Chief Chiefs.

721
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: You'd think, but the thief thieves, right, But it's the Chiefs,

722
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: So Toro.

723
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Okay, A couple of things first.

724
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: Let's start with the injury slash status report came on Thursday.

725
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: This does three days before the game. Two days before

726
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: the game. Two days before the game. Texas will have

727
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: four players out of this one fully fought of Cossi

728
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: deal with that ankle is out.

729
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: John Metchi shoulder injury. He is out. Juice Scruggs is

730
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: out again.

731
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: We talked about that Ca Stover out with that appendectomy,

732
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: the appending surgery that he had last week. So I

733
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: don't know if there's any surprise. The one that popped

734
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: up that we saw at practice on Thursday, and we

735
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 2: all Mark and I looked at each other like, oh crap,

736
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: and then it showed up on the injury report because

737
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 2: it didn't show up an injury report on Tuesday Wednesday. But

738
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: Christian Harris' ankle did not participate on Thursday. His game

739
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: status is questionable. Ye now, because we are in Kansas

740
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: City and recorded this show before we left for Kansas City,

741
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: there could be an update, maybe an updates to keep

742
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 2: your eyes peeled. But as of when I recorded this

743
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: on Friday, Christian Harris was questionable with an ankle. The

744
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: way that it's popped up on Thursday and the fact

745
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: he didn't participate in practice on Thursday makes me think

746
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 2: that Christian may not play. Probably leaning seventy thirty not playing,

747
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: but we'll see.

748
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes.

749
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: On the chief side, two big outs and one big in.

750
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: Jamaari Connor concussion. He's out.

751
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: He's been a key in the secondary, but that's not

752
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: the big one. The big one figuratively, figuratively and literally

753
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: is DJ Humphries, left tackle, started left tackle. He is

754
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: out now after he got injured. Joe Thuney, who is

755
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: their left guard, went out to left tackle. In fact,

756
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: I think they started that way against the Browns. Dune

757
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: he went out to left tackle, and then blanket on

758
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: his name went in at left guard, and so that

759
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: could be the way that they go. Not sure exactly

760
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: how they're gonna do this, and I don't know that

761
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: anybody in New Kansas City media will unveil how they've

762
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: done this. So we'll just have to kind of sit

763
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: and wait to see how they're gonna do this.

764
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: My gut tells me.

765
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: With Humphreys out, Juwan Taylor's in, so he'll be the guy.

766
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: Last week is Mike Caliendo. That's who I knew the

767
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: name was.

768
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: I was like Frank. I kept thinking Frank Frank was

769
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: not Frank Frank Clark. No, Frank Clark's gone. Mike Calliendo

770
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: left guard, Joetunia left tackle. I don't think they'll go

771
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: to Janya Morris, but that's one to keep an eye on,

772
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: and it is one of my keys, and I'll get

773
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: to that in just a second. But a big in

774
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 2: not figuratively, because he is not big, and that's Hollywood Brown.

775
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: He has been out the entire season with a shoulder injury.

776
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: He was activated or he was put on the practice

777
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: window of twenty one days. He is showing as no status.

778
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 2: More than likely he's going to be in.

779
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: Now.

780
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: How much Hollywood Brown plays, my guess is because his

781
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: specialty is running nine routes and that doesn't take a

782
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: fully rehabbed shoulder. My guess is he'll play and run

783
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 2: a few nine routes. Just go routes down a field. Now,

784
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: flashback to the Cardinals being here last year and Derek

785
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: Stingley covering Hollywood Brown press man. Cardinals tried to throw

786
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 2: deep Kyler Murray through it as far as he thought

787
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: he could. Brown thought he had a catch, and then

788
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: sting swooped in made the catch for the interceptions, one

789
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 2: of the better interceptions I've seen. It's kind of running

790
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: the mill for sting But at the time it was like,

791
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: holy crap, that was nice. He's done that many times

792
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 2: over now. But point being Hollywood Brown could be in

793
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: for them, So that's something we'll have to definitely watch

794
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: Mahme's ankle.

795
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 6: He's in.

796
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 2: We said all week he's gonna play. He's been full

797
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: participate in practice all week. What it surprise me if

798
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz got in the game at some point? Ye, yes,

799
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 2: and no. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to

800
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 2: get him some reps. I mean, if they got a

801
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: big lead in the second half, we wanted to get

802
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: win some reps. I could see that happening. But play

803
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: that doesn't happen. But I don't know. They got Wents

804
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: in the game last week because they had that fourteen

805
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 2: point lead against the Browns. They need to get him

806
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: some reps just in case. So they got him some reps.

807
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: They got to win two of these final three, and

808
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 2: the last two games are on the road for them

809
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: against very very good teams against the Steelers and also

810
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: against the Broncos who won last night. So what do

811
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: you do. They've got to win this game. This is

812
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: a big one for them because they win this one,

813
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 2: then they could split on the road. If they lose

814
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: this one, then they got to win both on the

815
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: road because the Bill schedules. We talked about Patriots twice.

816
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: Jets they'll go three and zero. So if we knock

817
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 2: them off, now, they got to win both on the road.

818
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 2: That's gonna be really difficult for Kansas City. But don't

819
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 2: really care about Kansas City. They care about the Texans,

820
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: and I care about Patrick Mahomes playing against the Texans,

821
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: and that obviously is one of our keys. So let's

822
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 2: get to our keys to the game for this one.

823
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 2: This is the Chiefs offense that runs for one hundred

824
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: and twelve yards per game. Isaiaha Checo being back has

825
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: helped that run game. They're thirteenth in the league in passing,

826
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: which you think, oh my Homes. No, they're two hundred

827
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 2: twenty four yards per game passing. They've lost fourteen turnovers

828
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 2: eleven of those interceptions.

829
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: Now, as we get to the.

830
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 2: Keys, one of the keys, and didn't know the status

831
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: of Hollywood Brown when I was writing this, but the

832
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: Chiefs have really kind of shed their skin as it

833
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: pertains to their pass catchers. One constant is Travis Kelcey,

834
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: but as many people have pointed out, his production is

835
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 2: not what it's been in previous years.

836
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't care it's still Travis Kelcey. He may catch

837
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: nine passes this week.

838
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: Now it might not be for sixty five yards, but

839
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: he's gonna catch probably three third downs or more.

840
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: Noah Gray has stepped up.

841
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins is still that dude, even though he's more

842
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: kind of your interior passing game now. But Xavier Worthy

843
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 2: is doing some things on the outside. They're finding creative

844
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: ways to get him the ball, and now you potentially

845
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 2: could have Hollywood Brown back. So it's a different crew

846
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: than what Mahomes has thrown to all year. It's different

847
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: than what he threw to last year. When he gets

848
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: in trouble, he wants Kelsey or he wants Noah Gray,

849
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 2: you know, just to get the rid of the football,

850
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 2: especially with the offensive line in front of him. So Patrick,

851
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: being our second key, is playing on an offensive line

852
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: that could have its starting left guard at left tackle

853
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: and a backup at left guard. That's his blind side.

854
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: Patrick's very in tune to where everybody is on the field,

855
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 2: but you can see him sometimes in the pocket when

856
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 2: he's not quite sure. He kind of peaks left. He

857
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 2: peaks left. Well, he's got to peak a lot more

858
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: over the left side Doon. He's one hell of alignment

859
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: left tackle, left guard, totally different. So the Texans are

860
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 2: going just like last week against some backups at the

861
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 2: tackle position. Now, Juwan Taylor has paid a lot of money,

862
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: but he has a lot of penalties, a lot of

863
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 2: false starts, a lot of holdings. Neil Hunter and Will

864
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: Anders are gonna have to eat, but mainly with Mahomes.

865
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: And this is the key this week.

866
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 2: With that ankle injury, He's probably able to run, but

867
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: my guess is they don't want him to to make

868
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 2: that any worse.

869
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: But what Patrick likes to do is escape to the

870
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: right side.

871
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 2: Because he's right handed, he can see in that direction.

872
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: The Texans got to force him left, just like you

873
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 2: went in basketball back in the day. All this dude's

874
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: hard right handed jump on that right hand, force him left,

875
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: forced him left, force him left. The Texans got to

876
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: be able to do that and force Patrick to go left. Now,

877
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 2: it's not as if he hasn't done things going to

878
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 2: his left. He'll switch to Baldo's left handed throw. He'll

879
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: turn his bo and fireside, you know, back across the

880
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: grain like a shortstop wood going back into the hole

881
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: behind second.

882
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: Base in baseball.

883
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 2: So he's got that, but with an ankle injury and

884
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 2: with a different left side configuration. The Texans pass rush

885
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: has to be not only violent explosive, but it has

886
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: to be smart. You can't lose your pass rush lanes.

887
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing too. With Patrick, he will

888
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: look for an escape plane and take his eyes off downfield,

889
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: off the receivers. When he gets his eyes back up,

890
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: the Texans dbs have to be plastering those receivers. Corey Unglin,

891
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: the efentsive pass game coordinator, came in and used those

892
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: words plastering the receivers.

893
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: That's big against Patrick Mahomes.

894
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: And finally, even though the running game hasn't been tremendous,

895
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: when Isaiah Pacheco has been in the lineup, he's given

896
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: them a lot, a lot at the running back position.

897
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 2: I've said it before. He runs like a kid on

898
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: pepsi and pop rocks. If you ever had pop rocks,

899
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: if you're my demographic, you know those things, like, man,

900
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 2: they're exploding in your mouth and you throw a pepsi

901
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: in there, you're like all caffeinated and hopped up.

902
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: You're like, wow, WHOA, let's go. That's kind of how

903
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: he runs.

904
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 2: I mean he literally like you could you could hear

905
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 2: him running because he runs so hard.

906
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: So big boy pads pursuit to.

907
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: The football, multiple multiple white jerseys, multiple white jerseys at

908
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 2: the contact point.

909
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Pacheco's going to break a few. He's going to break

910
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: a few.

911
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: He just can't break most, if not all, defensively, Man,

912
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: it's a good group.

913
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 7: Man.

914
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 2: Thirty NFL against the run ninety two yards per game.

915
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 2: That hasn't boded well for the Texas when they faced

916
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 2: a good run defense. They're fourteenth in the league, giving

917
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: up two fifteen through the air and it generates sixteen

918
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: turnovers ten of those interceptions.

919
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: They are an experienced group.

920
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: When I do know your foe, I go through and

921
00:41:53,800 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 2: I all caps newcomers, and then I talisize rookies starting lineup.

922
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: Not one thing is italicized on one thing is capitalized.

923
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: These are all guys that have been there now.

924
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they may not get contributions from

925
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 2: ushe two toy to below two. They'll get it contributions

926
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: from them. One's a rookie wants a newcomer. But for

927
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: the most part, those are the guys. Last night, Thursday

928
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 2: Night happened to stumble on some audio.

929
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: From Charles and meneho. Yeah, he's looking forward to this game.

930
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: But it's Charles. So let's get into the keys.

931
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: One guy who will play who we missed playing in

932
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. Both times we did face in twenty twenty

933
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: in the open and he killed us. He faced him

934
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: at twenty twenty two and he didn't do anything. Literally,

935
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: no stat Chris Jones. He's arguably the best interior I

936
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: mean I say interior, but he can play inside, he.

937
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: Can play outside. He's arguably one of the.

938
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 2: Most versatile linemen that we've ever seen, and he's tremendous.

939
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: The one thing about Chris is like in the twenty

940
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: twenty two game, he goes in spurts. His good spurts

941
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: are Hall of Fame first ballot spurts. His not so

942
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 2: good spurts are he's just out there taking up space. Well,

943
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two he faced Titus Howard and Titus did

944
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 2: a really good job on him, and more than likely

945
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: we'll see Titus Howard at left guard again. At least

946
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: that's what I'm anticipating, and now I think is a

947
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 2: good thing for the Texans. Now Chris may hop over

948
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 2: the other side, but he's going to see a vet

949
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: Shak Mason, who has faced Chris Jones before. And I

950
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 2: think that's part of the key. When you face Chris,

951
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 2: you have kind of a library of things that you

952
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: have in the back of your head, like, Okay, I

953
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: know he's done this.

954
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: Or he likes to do this.

955
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even be surprised that the Chiefs then rolled

956
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: him all the way out to go against Blake Fisher. Now,

957
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: the Texans did give Blake a little bit of help

958
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 2: last week, but Blake did a pretty solid job on

959
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: Chop Robinson. The Chiefs have good edge rushers. They're different

960
00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 2: than Chop, a man who's long. Carl Offtics is of

961
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: a power rusher, and I think Blake holds up pretty

962
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 2: well for those two. They don't have just a blur

963
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,479
Speaker 2: off the edge. Mike Dan I think is pretty good.

964
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 2: He's probably closer to Chop, a little smaller, a little quicker,

965
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: a little bit more explosive.

966
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: So Blake can get tested.

967
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: But to me, the biggest thing is slowing down Chris

968
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 2: Jones on the inside, all right, Nick Bolton, love love,

969
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: love Nick Bolton. Every single week the Texans aren't playing him.

970
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: He is a tremendous linebacker. This guy six foot two

971
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: thirty five may not look like your old school Ted

972
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: Johnson six three two forty five, the Bernardic McKinney sixty

973
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 2: four two fifty.

974
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: But Bolton can run.

975
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: He is smart, he is tough, He plays run and

976
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 2: pass equally well. He is an absolute dude. The Texans must.

977
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: Part of the reason that the Chiefs have such a

978
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: great run defense is they don't allow guys to get

979
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 2: at the linebacker level. In particular, get a hat on

980
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: thirty two, and then thirty two sniffs out what you're doing,

981
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 2: and he beats everybody to the spot. Must must, must

982
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 2: get a hat. I'm thirty two. And then finally, Trent McDuffie.

983
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: I love McDuffie. Now, if you guys read my draft

984
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 2: coverage football takeover dot com or on a textan site,

985
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: you know that over the last few years I've started

986
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: adding high schools to my draft reports and some people

987
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: ask me, well, why have you done that? And I

988
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: think Trent McDuffie is kind of the answer, because I

989
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 2: had watched McDuffie a ton at Saint John Bosco. Saint

990
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 2: John Bosco is one of the better high schools. It's

991
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: like the North Shore private school version over in California.

992
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: They spit out players left and right there going Division one. Oh,

993
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: I mean like it'll have eight to ten and that's

994
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: a slow year. McDuffie came out of there, and I

995
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: didn't realize it until I did my write up on

996
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: him at Washington.

997
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this dude play at Bosco.

998
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so some of the things I'm seeing out

999
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: in the field, I'm like, yeah, yeah, that makes sense

1000
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 2: because Bosco is very well coached.

1001
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: He came from a great program, and so I was like, man, I.

1002
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 2: Need to do this for all the players and need

1003
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 2: to start looking whether he went to high school. McDuffie

1004
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 2: has been that dude since back in the day at Pasco.

1005
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: Smart, tough, fast.

1006
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 2: But one of the things about him, and I wrote

1007
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 2: this and know your faue, I think he's the best

1008
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: nickel in the league. But he's also one of the

1009
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: top five to seven premier corners in the league. So

1010
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: depending on you know, Shamari Connor's out and he'll play

1011
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,720
Speaker 2: the nickel some. So we'll see where Trent McDuffie lines

1012
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: up and that's gonna be really key. So keep an

1013
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 2: eye where twenty two lines up? Is he inside? If

1014
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: he's inside, is he with Nico? Does that give it away?

1015
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: Is that gonna play man? But McDuffie, you can also

1016
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 2: play zone in there. Does he travel with Nico when

1017
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 2: he goes to the outside to the inside.

1018
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: Keep an eye at twenty two because.

1019
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 2: He can tell you a little bit about what the

1020
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: Chiefs want to do defensively, and that's something to definitely

1021
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 2: keep an eye. He is an absolute stud, a playmaker.

1022
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: They got a few back there. We know one of them,

1023
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 2: justin Reied. It would be good to see j Reed.

1024
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: Brian Cook has been very good at safety. But Trent McDuffie,

1025
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: that's the dude. If you can avoid him, avoid him. Okay,

1026
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 2: we get back. Got some games going on this weekend.

1027
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: We had one Thursday night that was a fun ball game.

1028
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 2: Had something happened that hadn't happened since nineteen seventy six.

1029
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: That was cool. But we got games going on starting Saturday.

1030
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: We got games Sunday, we got games Monday, then we

1031
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: got games Wednesday.

1032
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: I won't pick those because one of those is Texans.

1033
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 2: You know, I never picked that but we'll pick the Saturday,

1034
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 2: Sunday Monday games straight.

1035
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: Up and against the spread next right here in Texas Access.

1036
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: All right, all right, out right, let's go.

1037
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 2: We start our second hour of the show Texans All Access,

1038
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: and we're doing it as the College Football Playoff is

1039
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 2: taking place.

1040
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 10: Now.

1041
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: I don't want you to go over and turn it over,

1042
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 2: but what you can do is you could watch the

1043
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 2: playoff game what's Indiana and Notre Dame and then listening

1044
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: to us, and hopefully that's what you're doing now. I

1045
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 2: bring up the college Football Playoff game because tomorrow, starting

1046
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday, the NFL has a couple of games. College

1047
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 2: Football Playoff has three games. Texas High School State Championship

1048
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: has three games, your highest division six A, and then

1049
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 2: one from five A. Then Sunday you got a full

1050
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: slate of games, and then Monday you've got games. It

1051
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: is as good a football weekend and it will be

1052
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: a great football weekend.

1053
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: No, by the way, I forgot about.

1054
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 2: The bowl games that are mixed in amongst everything that's

1055
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 2: going on. In fact, today you had Ohio taking out

1056
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 2: Jacksonville State, you had Tulane taking on Florida. In bowl games,

1057
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: you had those two taking place, and you also had

1058
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: the playoff game in the end of the Dame, so

1059
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 2: you got a lot going on in football. But I'm

1060
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: gonna focus on the NFL with these because I do

1061
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 2: went predictions every single week, straight up and against the

1062
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: spread for fun.

1063
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:54,959
Speaker 1: For fun.

1064
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: It was a great game last night, Chargers took on

1065
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: the Broncos. I'm not sure what have gotten this one,

1066
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 2: and I felt pretty confident. The Broncos were playing at

1067
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 2: a pretty high level and the Chargers just got spanked.

1068
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: But the Chargers found it. They found themselves in the

1069
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: second half, and that thing was as high as eighty

1070
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 2: two percent win probability for the Broncos in the second half,

1071
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: and that turned right around with a great second half

1072
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: for the Chargers thirty four to twenty seven. Both teams

1073
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 2: moved to nine and six and they are just another

1074
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: game away from making the playoffs, both of them. I

1075
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: think the Colts have to lose a game, maybe the

1076
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: Bengals have to lose one too, just to ensure that

1077
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: they get in at nine and six. But my guess

1078
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: is they're getting at nine at six. My guess is

1079
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 2: Ravens or Steelers, depending on which one will not win,

1080
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: the AFC North will end up being that team that

1081
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 2: goes in as.

1082
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: The other wild card, so we'll see.

1083
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: So give my music ready, and let's start with the

1084
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 2: aforementioned Steelers.

1085
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: This one will be in.

1086
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 2: Baltimore, where Baltimore is a six and a half point favorite.

1087
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: I like the Ravens to win this by ten could

1088
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: be ugly, twenty seven to seventeen could be even ugly,

1089
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: or twenty one to eleven, something like that, but they're

1090
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 2: gonna win and cover that spread. As Baltimore will move

1091
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: to ten and five, Pittsburgh will move to ten and five,

1092
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: and then it gets all kinds of interesting if the

1093
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 2: Texans win to get.

1094
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: To ten and five.

1095
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 2: A lot of things going on with the AFC North

1096
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: top two teams.

1097
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: TJ.

1098
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 2: Watts said that he was feeling pretty good during the week,

1099
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 2: so we'll see if he plays all right.

1100
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: Rams Jets in New York.

1101
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: Rams travel cross country to play negative bodyclock game.

1102
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: The Rams are a three point favorite.

1103
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: The Jets have so much going on, I just can't

1104
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: see them winning this game. But you know what, I

1105
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 2: think the Jets are gonna do it. I think the

1106
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: Jets final way to beat the Rams like they.

1107
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: Did four years ago.

1108
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: And they'll win this thing in and upset over the Rams.

1109
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: Rams have to win and Jets will though and get

1110
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 2: a cover because they're at three point Underdrug at home.

1111
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 2: Philly is taking a train to Washington, and the Eagles

1112
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 2: are a three and a half point favorite. I think

1113
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 2: the Eagles are playing some of the best ball. Yeah

1114
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 2: there's dysfunction, it sounds like, but who really knows. I

1115
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 2: think the Eagles win this thing and they cover that

1116
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: three and a half to get to thirteen and two

1117
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 2: and put all kinds of pressure on Detroit, who is

1118
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: taking on the Bears in Chicago. The Lions are seven

1119
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites after losing last week to Buffalo.

1120
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 2: The Bears are ready to just pack it in. They

1121
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: are the proverbial packet in team right now. They are

1122
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 2: four and two, They have lost eight in a row.

1123
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 2: They are not beating the Lions. They are not covering.

1124
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: The Lions win that thing, maybe by three touchdowns. I

1125
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 2: know the other one was close, this one won't be.

1126
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: The Lions will blow them out after losing to Buffalo.

1127
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: The Titans taking on the Colts in Indianapolis. INDI's only

1128
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 2: a four point favorite. I think Indy's gonna smash smash

1129
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 2: the Titans. They're gonna win that thing by fourteen. I

1130
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: think the Titans are dead. Bason Rudolph, He's just a guy.

1131
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: Won't matter.

1132
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: Richardson. The Colts get it done and cover the spread.

1133
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 2: Browns Bengals Battle of Ohio is in Cincinnati. Cincinnati's favored

1134
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 2: by seven. That number is pretty rich, but the Browns

1135
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: are starting dtr for Jamis Winston. I think it gives

1136
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 2: the Bengals an edge. Still win this thing by ten

1137
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: thirty four to twenty four. The Bengals led him in

1138
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs and they're gonna make a lot of freaking noise.

1139
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: Jets Falcons.

1140
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix Junior will start for the Falcons at home

1141
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 2: against the Giants or nine and a half point favorites.

1142
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 2: I think the Falcons will win, but the Giants will

1143
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 2: get inside that number. Penix will play well at times,

1144
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: but I don't think he'll blow anybody away. I think

1145
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: he'll just be solid and that's enough to get a win,

1146
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: but not a cover over the Giants. Vikings Seahawks. Vikings

1147
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 2: are four and a half point faves on the rope.

1148
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 2: They played the Monday Night game. I think they win this,

1149
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 2: but it's close. Seattle gets this thing within four and

1150
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 2: a half win, Vikings cover Seahawks.

1151
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: Patriots.

1152
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 2: Bills come on, man, pretty serious. Fourteen and a half

1153
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 2: point favorite. Bills will smash the Patriots on Sunday. That

1154
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: game in Buffalo will play Week eighteen in New England.

1155
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 2: Not that it'll matter.

1156
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: Jags Raiders, let's go.

1157
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 2: Jags need them to move up or down in the

1158
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: draft order by winning games, so hopefully the Jaguars will

1159
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 2: get that done. Miami and San Francisco might be favored

1160
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 2: by one at home, one and a half at home.

1161
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: I think Miami gets it. They'll play a clean game

1162
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 2: Sunday Night. Bucks Cowboys, fun ball game, fun fun Sunday

1163
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 2: Night game on NBC.

1164
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: Bucks are gonna go in to Dallas and win it.

1165
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: They're gonna go in there and win.

1166
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: I know Dallas is playing better, but Bucks are gonna

1167
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 2: win it, and they'll cover that four and a half.

1168
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: They'll win by six thirty seven thirty one. Saints, they're done,

1169
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 2: they're cooked over. It's time for twenty twenty five. Packers

1170
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 2: will win that thing. They're favored by fourteen. They'll win,

1171
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: but they won't cover, but those are your picks. Coming

1172
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: up next. Feel Good Friday with the Miko Ryans right

1173
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 2: here in Texans All Access. What's happened everybody? Welcome back

1174
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 2: to Texans All Access. Sim your host, John Harris, football analyst,

1175
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 2: side reporter.

1176
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: It's a feel good Friday. So it's here from the

1177
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: man himself to meet Goo Ryans coach.

1178
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 4: What can you tell us about Cad Stover? Because this

1179
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 4: was a developing story over the weekend. We got to

1180
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 4: notice that he was ill or whatever. You're thinking, Well,

1181
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 4: we were thinking, well, maybe he's better by tomorrow. Whoops, No,

1182
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 4: not so much. And he figures into the game plan.

1183
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 4: He plays a bunch.

1184
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely threw a rent into the game plan with

1185
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 8: what Cad you know, not being there for a first

1186
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 8: to let everyone know kid is doing much better. At

1187
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 8: the emergency apendectomy surgery on Saturday night, So we were Saturday,

1188
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 8: he started.

1189
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 7: To feel not feel well.

1190
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 8: It didn't look too well, and you know, I think

1191
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 8: our roling and our medical team did a really great

1192
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 8: job of making sure he got taken care of immediately and.

1193
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 7: He's home now, he's recovering. He's doing well.

1194
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 8: But as you mentioned, like, yeah, we have a game

1195
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 8: plan in where Caid is our on the ball tight

1196
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 8: end blocking in Bobby. We have to change that plan

1197
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 8: very quickly, and I thought Bobby did a really good

1198
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 8: job with the last minute type of changes that you

1199
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 8: have to work. It's tough, you know, on a play caller,

1200
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 8: when you've worked the entire week having a certain package,

1201
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 8: certain plays for certain guys and having a switch in

1202
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 8: a few within a few hours, probably having a switch

1203
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 8: not knowing if k is going to be better, is

1204
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 8: he going to be there for us on Sunday? So

1205
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 8: I thought they did a really good job of making

1206
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 8: it work. And then Dalton got dinged up for a

1207
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 8: little bit.

1208
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah that was We all talked about that in a break, like,

1209
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 2: holy cow, what do we do now? Because Irv's been

1210
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 2: around for a while, but he's the only one at

1211
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 2: that point. So then you got to change during game.

1212
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 2: Luckily Dalton was able to come back and get in

1213
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 2: there and be fine. But you know that that's another wrinkle,

1214
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: is okay, we want to go in with this, and

1215
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: then obviously you have things change during the game. But

1216
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: you have the ultimate wrinkle in some sense because you

1217
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 2: got twenty four on your side. I want to ask

1218
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 2: you about the third and five interception, the one down

1219
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: in the red zone, because when Tyreek goes inside and

1220
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 2: Sting goes with him, I know it's even coordinator like

1221
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 2: to the Skuy's things. You like to show maybe one

1222
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 2: thing at play another, but you basically at that point

1223
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: are saying, if steing Le's on Tyreek Hill, you guys

1224
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 2: know where a man and man coverage. You know where

1225
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 2: a man and man coverage, but can you beat it?

1226
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 2: How did you kind of feel about that third and

1227
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 2: five when Tyreek gos inside and you know you're a

1228
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: man and Derek's got to go cover him inside? Did

1229
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 2: you what was your kind of thoughts going through that

1230
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 2: first interception he had?

1231
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was when I seeing him come out that

1232
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 8: kind of moved around. They knew, like you said, they

1233
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 8: knew we were in man coverage, and you know, knowing

1234
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 8: their offense to and his match, you going to your

1235
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 8: best player in those moments. So you know, in my mind,

1236
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 8: you putting putting Sting in that position. Just wanted him

1237
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 8: to play with great eye discipline and play underneath with

1238
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 8: great technique, and that's what he did. He got his

1239
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 8: hands on him to disrupt the route play underneath or

1240
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 8: he wasn't too high and that's what allowed him to

1241
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 8: to make that cats right and it was man. You

1242
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,720
Speaker 8: talk about competitive, two really good plays, Tyreek Hill Derek

1243
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 8: Stingley going there and man and man coverage one on one,

1244
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 8: Like that's what you look for NFL football. Best players

1245
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 8: lined up against the best players lined up against each

1246
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 8: other and got to compete. And our guy Stingley came

1247
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 8: through with a big time play and we needed that stop.

1248
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 8: I felt like they had a little momentum on us

1249
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 8: there as well. We were kind of on our heels.

1250
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 8: They're driving on us. They're in you know, the red

1251
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 8: zone territory there and tried to mix up a few

1252
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 8: calls and they kept driving and it's like, man, we

1253
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 8: have to do something different, and we went with man

1254
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 8: and man, let's see our guys make a play. Put

1255
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 8: him in position to make a play, and our guy

1256
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 8: did it. Your pocketations and put him.

1257
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: It was nice.

1258
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 3: I like that.

1259
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 4: Coach Chiefs up next at Arrowhead Stadium, very tough place

1260
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 4: to play, short week, and I know there's a Mahomes

1261
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 4: injury situation, but we've seen him win a Super Bowl

1262
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 4: with one ankle basically, so you never know. But what

1263
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 4: about thoughts on this one of the best organizations in

1264
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 4: all of football, maybe the best.

1265
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1266
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 8: First off, just to Andy Reid, former head coach of mine.

1267
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 8: I was with him for one year. Just can't say

1268
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 8: enough great things about what he's done, just going there

1269
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 8: and just the success that he's had and how he's

1270
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:16,479
Speaker 8: done it right. He's always kept the calm demeanor, always fun,

1271
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 8: jovial guy, like a guy you want to play for.

1272
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 8: And I can see that everybody sees that rubbing off

1273
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 8: there in Kansas City. He's done an outstanding job there.

1274
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 8: Mahomes his offense, Kelsey Worthy, they got man hop the

1275
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 8: hop now, they got playmakers all over the field. So

1276
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 8: of course we're gonna have our have our work cut

1277
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 8: out for cut out there for us. But you know,

1278
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 8: I don't think enough gets talked about their defense. Their

1279
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 8: defense is really good. Spagnola's done a great job of

1280
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 8: leading this unit. They play a lot of different guys

1281
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 8: and it hasn't changed over the years. Their successful defense,

1282
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 8: and they force you to, you know, be on your

1283
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 8: piece of cues when you play them. They're gonna make

1284
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 8: it tough. Chris Jones on the interior D line. He's

1285
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 8: always an issue, so we got to find a way

1286
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 8: to get him blocked. Just all around good football team.

1287
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 8: And so for us being at the spot where at

1288
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 8: right now in our season, like what a matchup we

1289
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 8: get to see? Like can we go match up versus

1290
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 8: one of the top team in the AFC right and

1291
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 8: hopefully get a chance to see them again later down

1292
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 8: the road. So that's how I'm looking at this matchup

1293
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 8: is let's go see where we are, let's improve as

1294
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 8: a team, and we may end up back in Kansas

1295
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 8: City again, who knows. Let's go out and just play

1296
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 8: complimentary football. Don't make it more than what it is.

1297
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 8: Just stay steady, stay calm, and don't worry about the

1298
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 8: external fact that we can't control. It's easy to get

1299
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 8: into that. You know, is Mahomes playing?

1300
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 7: Is he not?

1301
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 8: Who knows? We'll find out when they kick the ball

1302
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 8: off the weather? What is it gonna be? Is he

1303
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 8: gonna be cold?

1304
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 7: Who cares?

1305
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 5: Like?

1306
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 8: It's this playoff football right now? So let's line up

1307
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 8: and let's see where we are.

1308
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: How much do you relish facing a team like this?

1309
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 2: And I know it's players on players like I get

1310
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 2: that but just preparing for a team that you know

1311
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 2: is thirteen and one, it's done good things, won couple

1312
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 2: championships in a row. I know every game is you know,

1313
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 2: every game is one of seventeen or whatever the case

1314
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 2: might be.

1315
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: It's a Chief, it's homes.

1316
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 2: How much you kind of relish that opportunity to be

1317
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: able to go against what's thought to be the best

1318
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 2: team in the league, one of the great quarterbacks of

1319
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: this generation or any generation.

1320
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: How much you relish that opportunity.

1321
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 8: I mean you do, But for me, when you make

1322
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 8: it bigger and you guys feel like they have to

1323
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 8: go and do something extra or do something different. And

1324
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 8: I think that's where the Chiefs have really stood out

1325
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 8: to me, Like they're always steady, They're always calm, no

1326
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 8: matter what situation the game is in towards the end

1327
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 8: of the game a two minute situation is like they

1328
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 8: have this calm and like almost this quiet confidence that

1329
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 8: no matter what how the game goes, like we'll find

1330
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 8: a way to win, whether our special teams we need

1331
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 8: to block a kick or do like defense, we need

1332
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 8: to make a stop.

1333
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 7: And that's for me.

1334
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 8: When you go play them, you have to not get

1335
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 8: up to play Kansas City. You have to go in

1336
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 8: with that same approach, like whatever it takes, everybody, just

1337
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 8: do your job, execute, play football the proper way when

1338
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 8: the ball kicks offs, like who is the best football

1339
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 8: team within those three hours three and a half hours,

1340
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 8: that's all that matters.

1341
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 7: It's not about the record.

1342
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 8: Like They've been in a lot of tight football games,

1343
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 8: so you know it can be done, but you got

1344
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 8: to have the mental stamina to do it.

1345
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 7: Well.

1346
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 4: This is what you're looking for, right and this is

1347
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 4: really what you have because in each of your first

1348
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 4: two seasons here, you've won a lot of these close games.

1349
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 3: And your team has that too.

1350
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna make a play, and somebody did yesterday for sure.

1351
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 8: You know Stingley makes a play there for us, and

1352
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 8: you know in that clutch moment when they have opportunity

1353
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 8: to drive like and it was again him man coverage,

1354
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 8: like playing the right technique, not overdoing it because you're

1355
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 8: on Tyreek, or not getting amped up too amped up

1356
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 8: for the situation. Just being steady, being calm, playing ball

1357
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 8: the right way, flip and find it and you make

1358
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 8: a big time interception in the end the game.

1359
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 4: What about the short week coach, because you've had some

1360
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 4: of these already, the Jets short week and the short

1361
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 4: week after the Dallas Monday night or so you're used

1362
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 4: to this in a way. How much does that help

1363
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 4: as you move forward?

1364
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 8: He yeah, it definitely helps, you know, seeing that we've

1365
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 8: been here before. Last year we were in the same position.

1366
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 8: We had to play the Colts on a Saturday after

1367
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 8: our Sunday game, So you know, we have our schedule, say,

1368
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 8: we'll still have our normal you know, a few days

1369
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 8: of three days of preparation. Just make sure we take

1370
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 8: care of the guys. Now will be a earlier day

1371
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 8: removed from the game, so won't be es string you

1372
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 8: us on the guys with tomorrow's practice. Just making sure,

1373
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 8: you know, we move around a little bit and just

1374
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 8: make sure we understand the game plan right, have a

1375
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 8: good understanding of the first and second down game plan,

1376
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 8: and then we'll get to work on Wednesday, Thursday, Tuesday.

1377
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, you can't do that to me.

1378
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I can only handle this so much.

1379
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 2: Could I asked you yesterday a little bit about the

1380
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 2: fake punt and the decision that goes with the fake

1381
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 2: punt and the execution et cetera. When I went back

1382
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 2: and I actually saw it because I was kind of shielded,

1383
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 2: so I don't know exactly.

1384
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what was happening.

1385
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 2: I can see Darry running with the ball and I'm

1386
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 2: yelling at Market it's Darry, it's Darry. Well, when I

1387
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 2: watched it again, the blocking on that play is pretty

1388
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 2: impressive because you got Neville, Dell, Sean Jake, and then

1389
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 2: Dylan pulling around. Its almost like you're on a power

1390
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 2: in some sense with it. When you went back and

1391
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 2: you watched the plane, you saw those blocks, in particular

1392
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: Neville blocking Kalais Campbell. To make that play work was

1393
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 2: so impressive to see. When you look back at that

1394
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 2: play and you see how well it was executed, what

1395
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 2: do you think.

1396
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's what those plays are about, like for

1397
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 8: those plays to work in that moment, Like how, I mean,

1398
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 8: how much do you trust the guys you're asking right

1399
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 8: to get done what needs to be done right?

1400
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 7: So what side are you going to right?

1401
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 8: So we're really relying on that right side as you

1402
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 8: mentioned Neville, guy that's done it for a long time,

1403
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 8: trustworthy guy. I mean the ball handling by MJ, Like

1404
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 8: how many times he has he been in a spot

1405
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 8: where he has a hand the ball off to darre Right,

1406
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 8: Jake Hanson, great job on his block and not getting

1407
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 8: a sometimes how many times is Jake blocked?

1408
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 7: And you know, at what point do you let a

1409
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 7: guy go?

1410
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 8: You don't get a tug and get a holding called

1411
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 8: Dylan pulling around kicking out is.

1412
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 7: Just elite execution and is what I.

1413
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 8: Truly believe in and football like, how do you play

1414
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 8: You out execute your opponent. They may know what's coming, Okay,

1415
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 8: if they know it and they're playing it. Still, what's

1416
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 8: your technique on your blocking? Are you on your assignment?

1417
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 8: And are you is your technique pure right and you're

1418
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 8: you're running your feet, you're doing things the right way. Man,

1419
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 8: have seeing a better executed player. Yeah, and that was

1420
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 8: a really great call, Really great job by Frank and

1421
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 8: Will just preparing that throughout the entire week and uh,

1422
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 8: just our guys making play when we needed a play

1423
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 8: the most.

1424
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 7: We needed that momentum change for.

1425
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,959
Speaker 8: Our entire team coming out of the half, and those

1426
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 8: guys got it done.

1427
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 2: Yes they did. Now where does that fake punt fall?

1428
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 2: In my ultimate eleven? Yeah, every Tuesday night they do

1429
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 2: a show called Texans All Access Matchup Edition, and we

1430
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 2: look back a lot of times. We look back at

1431
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 2: things that have happened previous year's, previous games, and we

1432
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 2: always look back at the previous week's game. And it

1433
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: happened to me and went over Miami because of well

1434
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 2: eleven different plays that I chose. Where does that fake

1435
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 2: punt fall? Well, you hear it next right here in

1436
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 2: Texans All Access were going final segment this Friday edition

1437
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 2: of Texans All Access. Appreciate you being with me, John

1438
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,919
Speaker 2: Harris football on our sideline reporter from Kansas City via

1439
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 2: Well on day Texans Radio Studio got this thing, took

1440
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 2: off for Kansas City and now getting ready for cold

1441
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 2: temperatures tomorrow.

1442
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: It looks like and I don't.

1443
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 2: Know how many fans there will actually be from Houston,

1444
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 2: but bundle up because at kickoff, which is twelve noon,

1445
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 2: it will be thirty three degrees. It's not bad, I

1446
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 2: mean it doesn't sound now the killer when you have

1447
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 2: that is win.

1448
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: It does look at the wind is going to be horrible.

1449
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 2: So there's no precipitation in the forecast, sunny skies, so

1450
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 2: looking forward to that now each and every week I

1451
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 2: do a show called Texas All Access Matchup Edition, and

1452
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 2: I like to do what's called Ultimate eleven where I

1453
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 2: find the best plays and moments from the game put

1454
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 2: it together in list fashion because everybody loves the list,

1455
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 2: right well, I do, and I count them down from

1456
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 2: eleven to one. And it's always more fun when the

1457
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 2: Texans win. And so I did that and had a

1458
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 2: really fun time putting this together. So I figured, on

1459
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 2: a Friday night drive around your Christmas shopping, why not

1460
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 2: relive a great win over Miami just.

1461
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: A few days ago.

1462
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 2: And we'll do it right here in my Ultimate eleven

1463
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 2: for that win over Miami. And we started number eleven

1464
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 2: with the number fifteen and the number three. Now, the

1465
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 2: number fifteen has to deal with the number of yards

1466
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 2: involved with both of these plays from number three Tank Dell. Now,

1467
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 2: early in the game, Tank took a little handoff push

1468
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 2: pass what however you want to call it ends up

1469
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 2: being a run. So it was a little reverse to

1470
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 2: Tank and it looked like it was dead. Look like

1471
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 2: it was absolutely dead. Dolphins were there. Anthony Walker Junior,

1472
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna make a tackle, no gain, damn it. This

1473
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 2: is not the way you want the first drive to go.

1474
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 2: Then Tank stepped out of that tackle and then went

1475
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 2: from zero to sixteen about a millisecond, turned a corner,

1476
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 2: turned this into a fifteen yard run on the first

1477
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: drive of the game. It's the first part of number eleven.

1478
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 4: Second down and five at the thirty nine yard line

1479
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 4: of Houston with Joe Mixon and the backfield. Two receivers

1480
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 4: right Metchi one of them, Nico the other. And here

1481
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 4: on the jet motion is Dell running to the right,

1482
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 4: avoids one tackler.

1483
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: He's in trouble now escapes to.

1484
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 4: The right forty five fifty out of Mountain Dolphins territory

1485
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 4: first down. What moves by Tank Dell, the second year

1486
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 4: wide out from uh first down at the Miami forty six.

1487
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 6: You can't buy it.

1488
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: You just have to.

1489
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 7: It's just there.

1490
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 10: The speed and the ability to change directions for Tank

1491
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 10: Dell is just off the charts. He was dead to

1492
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 10: rights behind the line of scrimmage and all of a sudden,

1493
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 10: Jevon Holland misses the tackle and he's loose in the

1494
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 10: secondary of the Dolphins.

1495
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 2: Sticking with the theme of fifteen yards number three, Tank

1496
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 2: Dell on a drive in the second quarter will Anderson

1497
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 2: Junior had just made one hell of a play, stripsacking

1498
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 2: to a tongue of eye loa. Daneil Hunter tried to

1499
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 2: dribble it but couldn't pick it up. Tim Settl did

1500
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 2: get on it. So the first play after that stripsack

1501
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 2: by Anderson recovery by Settle, CJ. Stroud faked handoff the Joe,

1502
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 2: rolled to his left and threw an absolute dime. Tank

1503
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 2: Dell ran an out, up and out, and I mean,

1504
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 2: I'm talking now, it takes a while to do that,

1505
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 2: and I'm watching the whole route, so I think when

1506
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 2: he goes out and then up, I'm thinking, oh, out,

1507
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 2: up here we go. And then Tank throttles down. And

1508
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 2: as soon as he throttles down, I see the ball

1509
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 2: in the air from CJ. And I'm like, right in

1510
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 2: line with this thing. I'm like, this is gorgeous. It

1511
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 2: dots Tank on the sideline fifteen big yards on the

1512
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 2: first play of that drive. The Texas would go on

1513
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 2: and score the first touchdown of the game. A little

1514
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 2: bit later, but here's another fifteen yards by the same

1515
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 2: number three Tank Dell, this time from CJ.

1516
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:05,879
Speaker 1: Stroud.

1517
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 11: Thanks the GiB. Here's a boot to the left side.

1518
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 11: Stroud firing and got a man first down left sideline,

1519
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 11: Tank Dell inside the fifteen yard line, a bullet fire CJ.

1520
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 4: And Dell with the catch out his knees at the

1521
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 4: thirteen first to ten.

1522
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,480
Speaker 1: We're in the TDCU.

1523
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 6: Red zone where he is putting together some season.

1524
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 2: Now as we go through this all through eleven, I

1525
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 2: know we started with offense here and Tank with those

1526
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 2: two fifteen yard gains want to run one to pass.

1527
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: But we should have known how the tone of the

1528
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: game or.

1529
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 2: What the tone of the game was gonna be based

1530
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 2: on the very first play of the game.

1531
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: Now, if you're.

1532
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 2: Thinking, man, it was not to kick off the first

1533
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 2: play from scrimmage to a tongue of Alil went back

1534
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 2: to pass, couldn't find anybody, decided, you know what in

1535
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 2: that situation in the last six seven weeks when he

1536
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 2: couldn't find anybody, he's flipped it out to the on

1537
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 2: eight Chan Marshall High School, Texas A and m on H.

1538
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 2: Chan is a four to three guy in the forty

1539
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: Like legit, he's got ridiculous speed, so track star in

1540
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 2: high school. I mean I remember seeing him on a

1541
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 2: football tape for the first time going WHOA why is

1542
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 2: that sped up? He's that fast. But as soon as

1543
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 2: Achan catches the ball in the very first play of

1544
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 2: the game, Derek Stingley Junior absolutely sticks him and I

1545
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,560
Speaker 2: mean boom. TfL first play of the game set in

1546
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 2: a tone. Now, twenty four was gonna set the tone

1547
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 2: all day long. And we'll get to a little bit

1548
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,839
Speaker 2: more from sting later. But the one thing that Demico

1549
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 2: Ryans brought up in both his press conference with me

1550
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 2: after the game was how proud he was of sting

1551
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 2: because of his tackling. And this set the tone right

1552
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 2: here with this TfL to start the game and number

1553
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 2: ten on.

1554
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 4: First down too, or we'll throw back's up looking around,

1555
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 4: he's got a lot of time swings it out to

1556
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 4: eight chan and a great open field stick by Derek

1557
01:11:58,720 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 4: Stingley Junior for a lot.

1558
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: All right, it's been one to number nine. It comes

1559
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of story, of course.

1560
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 2: So on Monday, now I remember seeing this live, but

1561
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 2: I didn't have my eyes immediately on Daniel Hunter. But

1562
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm in the studio on Monday during radio we're doing

1563
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 2: our Texas Monday shows. We do make sure you catch

1564
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 2: that every single Monday from eight to ten, right after

1565
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Sewn and Seth apologize that we would take two hours

1566
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 2: from Seawan and Seth, but they're good with it and

1567
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 2: so hopefully you will be as well. But you need

1568
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 2: to check it out because we have great guests. Mark

1569
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 2: and I breakdown the games. We have a little bit

1570
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 2: of fun. We infotain. So we're in a break and

1571
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,839
Speaker 2: I had been watching the game from the I'd started

1572
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 2: probably an hour before the show, and then during the break,

1573
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:42,640
Speaker 2: so I try and catch up.

1574
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 1: So I was about at this.

1575
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,720
Speaker 2: Point of the game and I'm in studio and all

1576
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 2: of a sudden, just out of it, be like, Holy

1577
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 2: you know what happens next to word? I can't say

1578
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 2: on well, Nick Saban says it a lot, but I'm

1579
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 2: not gonna say it either way. I've watched Daniel Hunter

1580
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my god. So this is a

1581
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 2: first down play late in the game. Think it's about

1582
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 2: three something minutes left in the game Dolphins Down eight.

1583
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 2: First play of the drive is Lee and Mikeenberg Fall Star,

1584
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 2: So it's first in fifteen. So Jackson Carmen, I guess,

1585
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 2: might have been feeling himself at that point over at

1586
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 2: right tackle.

1587
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: He got in help all day long.

1588
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 2: Was one on one with Daniel Hunter, and Jackson Carmen

1589
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 2: decided to do what I think is something very very

1590
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 2: foolish and stupid. He did what's called a jump set

1591
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 2: or a quick set. So you guys have watched offensive lineman.

1592
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 2: That no football, you know, offensive lineman. It's a pass

1593
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,600
Speaker 2: that kind of give ground, right, they give ground to

1594
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,679
Speaker 2: kind of give time force the pass rusher to do something.

1595
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: Well, Jackson Carmen didn't do that.

1596
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 2: He tried to jump set and get into Daniel Hunter quickly.

1597
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 2: And that's stupid because Danille could spin, he could chop.

1598
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 2: You go after Daniel, He's gonna make you pay. And

1599
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,799
Speaker 2: right here at number nine, Jackson Carmen went after Daniel

1600
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 2: Hunter and Deniel three the inside spin move and then

1601
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 2: chase down to for a massive ten yard loss.

1602
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: This was huge. Listen to the crowd on this one.

1603
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: This is great. And number nine Daneil Hunter sacks to

1604
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: a tongue Baila first.

1605
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 11: Down of fifteen Dolphins from their seventeen pistol set motion

1606
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 11: by Angele to the right.

1607
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: Tulla looks that way, spins.

1608
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 11: Out of trouble, but he can't get away from Daniel

1609
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 11: Hunter who breaks him down for a deep sack.

1610
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 6: My god, his second of the game, my.

1611
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 10: Guy, before the game, it's my impact player, and finally

1612
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 10: gets it. So long and athletic that you think they're

1613
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 10: gonna get away from him, and those long arms just

1614
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 10: reach out and grab you and once they get around.

1615
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 7: You, it's over.

1616
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 2: And Drey pointed it out right there, Daniel's so long

1617
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 2: and athletic, and I don't know what Karmi was thinking.

1618
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: I really don't, but he had to know that if

1619
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 2: he missed, which he probably was going to, he's basically lunging.

1620
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: He's being the aggressor.

1621
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 2: Danil's gonna make him pay, and he more than made

1622
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 2: him pay with that sack right there. That gave Danil

1623
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 2: a sack and a half in this game and raises

1624
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 2: total to twelve. He's second in the league behind Trey

1625
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 2: Hendrickson with twelve and a half.

1626
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 1: And you know Will's got.

1627
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 2: Well, Will Anderson's got a sack coming, so we'll save

1628
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 2: Will Anderson numbers for then. But Daniel Hunter has been

1629
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 2: all that in a bag of chips plus more man just.

1630
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Really really good.

1631
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to THEO Joe and we're going to

1632
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,799
Speaker 2: special teams for this one. I mentioned Tank Dell earlier

1633
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 2: take out of those two fifteen yard games, but after

1634
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:43,600
Speaker 2: the bye, Texas decided to put Tank back on punt returns.

1635
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 2: And I've said, since Tank got here, like it always

1636
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 2: makes me nervous. It just it makes me nervous. But

1637
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 2: what I've realized is that I think it makes the

1638
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 2: opponent even more nervous. And Tank ripped off a twenty

1639
01:15:58,040 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: three yard return. I'm telling you, over the last few

1640
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 2: games the rest of the season, Tank's gonna rip one off.

1641
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 2: He's gonna find the house. He's gonna take it to

1642
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 2: the house with one of these. He'd take this one

1643
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 2: of the house. But twenty three yards early in this

1644
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 2: game was awesome to set up the Texans offense in

1645
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 2: great field position. Here's Tank at number eight the ochow

1646
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 2: on a twenty three yard part return, Dell.

1647
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 4: Backing up and he makes the catch at the fifteen

1648
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 4: little joke, moved twenty left side twenty five, beautiful move,

1649
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 4: thirty thirty five and dragged out at the forty yards line. Wow,

1650
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 4: Tank Dell shook a defender out of his shoes and

1651
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 4: the Texans ll have the ball. Shy up there, forty up,

1652
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 4: three to nothing, five fifty seven to go in the

1653
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 4: first All.

1654
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 2: Right, I realize what I just did by putting this

1655
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 2: next play at number seven, because number seven is number

1656
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 2: seven CJ Stroud.

1657
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 1: Now the recipient of this is Tank Dell, So.

1658
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Tanks getting mentioned a few times here in the ultimate

1659
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 2: eleven and he just did with that punt return. But

1660
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 2: the Texans faced a huge, huge third and three in

1661
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 2: the third quarter. They were starting, they were started second half,

1662
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 2: and we've seen this number of times this year, starting

1663
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 2: the second half, come.

1664
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: Out three and out, three and out, three and out.

1665
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: God dang it, man, just avoid a three and out.

1666
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 2: So we're sitting at third and three and it doesn't

1667
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 2: look great because as CJ went back to pass Chop Robinson,

1668
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,600
Speaker 2: a CJ moved up in the pocket.

1669
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: He released from Blake Fisher like.

1670
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 2: Blake was in pretty good position, but CJ was trying

1671
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 2: to get three yards and so it looked like he

1672
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 2: was trying to kind of move to the right. Well

1673
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 2: as he did, he kind of moved up into the

1674
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 2: purview of Chop Robinson and Chop grabbed him and thought

1675
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 2: thought thought he had a sack. That is one strong

1676
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 2: dude of both mind, spirit and body, CJ stroud. Before

1677
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 2: CJ hit the ground, somehow, some way, CJ flicked this

1678
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 2: ball forward to Tank Dell for a massive first down

1679
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 2: on this opening drive of the third quarter. It comes

1680
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 2: in at number seven with number seven proud of the.

1681
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: Gun and one back.

1682
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 11: Daraj takes the snap, stepping up in trouble and he's

1683
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 11: gonna go down. He throws last four playoff wow on

1684
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 11: his way down Hittel for the first out of the

1685
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,520
Speaker 11: forty eight yard line of Houston.

1686
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 6: Won a play.

1687
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 10: He was actually wrapped up and still made an accurate

1688
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 10: throw on the money to Tapornell.

1689
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 2: I can see that play again, both live and from TV,

1690
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 2: and it might be one of CJ's greatest plays. And

1691
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 2: I mean CJ through almost two years, I mean he's

1692
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 2: had He's had a ton, He's had a ton of

1693
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 2: tremendous plays, tremendous throws. Tampa Bay game, I mean the

1694
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 2: Browns game, the Browns playoff game last year. I mean,

1695
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 2: he's done some incredible stuff. I mean, just some of

1696
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 2: the throw against Indianapolis we K team last year. I

1697
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,879
Speaker 2: mean that, but that play there, first of all, it's hugely,

1698
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 2: hugely important, and I'll explain why a little bit massively important,

1699
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,759
Speaker 2: but just the physical nature of that play, like that's

1700
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 2: he's being brought down, like we've seen Mahomes do that

1701
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen do that, and it goes viral on

1702
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 2: the internet. Well, I don't know if it'll go viral

1703
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 2: on the internet, but man, it was incredible. It was

1704
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 2: such a physical marvel of a play. Put it right

1705
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 2: there at number seven, CJ. Stroud. Now as we get

1706
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 2: to number six, unfortunately, I'm gonna bring up CJ again.

1707
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 2: This is kind of two parts. One gets that gets

1708
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 2: set up, and I'll explain it a second. It's six,

1709
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 2: it's ten to six when the Texas had the ball,

1710
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 2: and you're thinking, hey, let's go down right before the

1711
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 2: half and let's run this clock down.

1712
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 1: Let's go kick a field, go go up thirteen six

1713
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: to half.

1714
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,640
Speaker 2: Be awesome, right, go up a touchdown on Dolphins and

1715
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 2: you get the ball to start second half.

1716
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Man, that would be great.

1717
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 2: And we know how the first drive in the second

1718
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 2: half ended, But can you finish this drive with some points? Well,

1719
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 2: this is the first part of number six. When I

1720
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 2: tell you about the good and the bad. Well, we're

1721
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 2: gonna flip it. We're gonna call it the bad and

1722
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 2: then the great, because the bad happened here and I'm

1723
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 2: thinking the absolute worst.

1724
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 11: Right before halftime, CJ bobbles the snap. There's a fight

1725
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 11: for it, and the Dolphins might have it. There's a

1726
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 11: scrum and Miami comes out of.

1727
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,560
Speaker 1: The pack with it. It's Brooks. He's got it left.

1728
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 6: Side and he.

1729
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 11: Goes out of bounds along the sideline.

1730
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: Inside the Houston forty disaster.

1731
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:40,919
Speaker 10: On that play, I think Jared Patterson snapped it before.

1732
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 10: Obviously CJ was ready because he looks like he was

1733
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 10: still giving instructions, and then the ball hits him right

1734
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 10: in the chest and goes way up in the air

1735
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 10: and the Dolphins come up with it.

1736
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: So your mind immediately goes to the worst case scenario.

1737
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 2: All right, now, the Dolphins can score and they could

1738
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 2: take a lead. Best case, they can go down kick

1739
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 2: a field goal and make it ten to nine, and

1740
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 2: it's just not where you want to be.

1741
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 1: Now.

1742
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 2: Flashback a little bit to something that happened on a

1743
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 2: Miami drive earlier, as Tutonguebayiloa tried to hit one of

1744
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 2: his wide receivers down the seam and Kaylen Bullock came

1745
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 2: out of nowhere and knocked it down, and I just

1746
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 2: remember thinking, man Bullock was moving so fast. If he'd

1747
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,679
Speaker 2: have picked that man, he could have housed that thing.

1748
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 2: I just remember thinking that at the time. Well, fast

1749
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 2: forward to display at number six and Kaylen Bullock almost

1750
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 2: houses it. But it's the same exact coverage scheme that

1751
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 2: Tua missed on the.

1752
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: First play that Bullock knocked down.

1753
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 2: The Miko Ryans went right back to it, and it's

1754
01:21:56,160 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 2: a really simple kind of disguise that you kind of

1755
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 2: wait for the ball to be snapped and then you

1756
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: go to your spots. And really the way that it's

1757
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 2: it's configured, it works great. And to have missed it again,

1758
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 2: he tried to hit a similar route down the middle.

1759
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 2: This time Kaylen said, no, I'm stealing this one, and

1760
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 2: then he took it and started flying down the field.

1761
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 2: At number six, Kaylen books fifth interception of the year,

1762
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 2: setting up a late field goal at the end of

1763
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 2: the half.

1764
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 11: To what takes the toss looking firing over the middle

1765
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 11: and it's ottercepted. There's Bullock to his left, forty fifty

1766
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 11: to the sideline, shot out of a canon thirty twenty

1767
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 11: fifteen ten and wrestled down inside the ten catch.

1768
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 6: Head run Jiln Bullock one sick.

1769
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 10: You still have thirteen seconds left, so no harm, no

1770
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 10: foul on the fumble. Now the Texans set up shop

1771
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 10: for two timeouts and thirteen seconds.

1772
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,440
Speaker 6: You can go to the end zone a couple of times.

1773
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:02,879
Speaker 2: The only guy that could catch him was the fastest

1774
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 2: guy in the field, and I was demon ah Chan,

1775
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,719
Speaker 2: that dude's a track star. He was able to catch Kalem,

1776
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 2: but Kaylen was absolutely flying. One other thing I loved

1777
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 2: about this play and I said this on Twitter. I

1778
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 2: was watching the game back on Twitter on Monday night,

1779
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 2: and as I was I was kind of making some

1780
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 2: notes on Twitter essentially or x or whatever you're gonna

1781
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 2: call it. And I remember seeing this when I saw

1782
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 2: the TV copy when I got home. But then when

1783
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 2: I watched the play again on the All twenty two

1784
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 2: on my film from our film Guys, I realized how

1785
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,879
Speaker 2: fast guys were running to get in front of Kaitlin

1786
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 2: or just to get a block. It was like Kaylen

1787
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 2: picked it off and everybody nobody turned to watch. They

1788
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,839
Speaker 2: all went, I'm gonna go make a block, and Kaylen

1789
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 2: was just flying by everybody.

1790
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: Just the fact it was a chaan was all the

1791
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: way u other side of the field. He had the.

1792
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 2: Angle, makes the tackle. Texas would kick a fulgal take

1793
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 2: a thirteen to six lead. So a game that could

1794
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 2: have potentially been thirteen ten Dolphins turns into thirteen six

1795
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 2: Texans with that interception right there. Now, Kaylin's wasn't the

1796
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 2: first turnover of the day. That was courtesy of Will

1797
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 2: Anderson Junior. And all week I've been talking about Tua,

1798
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 2: and I said, You've got to make him hold it,

1799
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,799
Speaker 2: make him hold it, make him hold it, make.

1800
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: Him cock the arm.

1801
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,639
Speaker 2: Nope, because if he has to recock the arm and

1802
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 2: move a little bit, that's when you can get him

1803
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 2: because his offensive line is not gonna be able to

1804
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:33,600
Speaker 2: hold up. Just not not against Will and Daniel and

1805
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 2: the interior guys that rushed really really well. Well, this

1806
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 2: was exhibited of what I was talking about. It comes

1807
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 2: in number five Will Anderson Junior with the strip sack

1808
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 2: and the Tim Settle recovery.

1809
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: It's at number five, I'm third and four Tua pressure arriving. Tua.

1810
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 6: Paul has out as well, hits him. It's loose and.

1811
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 11: The Texas are gonna pick it up, settle all over

1812
01:24:55,400 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 11: the football Houston with the takeaway strip sack.

1813
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 6: Love it.

1814
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 2: Will Anderson Junior and Daniel Hunter have combined for twenty

1815
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 2: two and a half sacks. That's the most by any

1816
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 2: duo in the NFL. It is living up to expectations

1817
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 2: and their three games left and their playoff games.

1818
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: And I can't every single week.

1819
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 2: I can't wait to watch fifty five to fifty one

1820
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 2: and then the guys that come in, Derek Barnett and

1821
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 2: Dylan Horton on the edge. Those guys do such a

1822
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 2: great job. Danico Autrey, Daniko Audrey man, you know what.

1823
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 2: I'll talk about him a little bit more this week,

1824
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,680
Speaker 2: but on that particular play, I've got to give him

1825
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 2: credit because to a moves because of what Audrey did.

1826
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:42,839
Speaker 2: Audrey was rushing from the inside position against Leam Miikenberg,

1827
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 2: a guard.

1828
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 1: And Autrey hit him with a long arm.

1829
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 2: A long arm essentially is you just take one arm,

1830
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 2: one hand and you just like shoot it like at

1831
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 2: the offensive lineman and try and just use that long

1832
01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 2: arm and you just lean with everything you got and

1833
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 2: you just kind of push up against that lineman seven

1834
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,560
Speaker 2: getting a move, and then you might need a secondary

1835
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 2: move afterwards to get you know, like maybe a swim over,

1836
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:08,799
Speaker 2: arm over or whatever.

1837
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: You know, maybe a rip under. So you use that

1838
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,480
Speaker 1: long arm to get that separation.

1839
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 2: At the last second, you get rid of that lineman

1840
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 2: and then in some way, shape or form either way,

1841
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 2: Autrey did at the Eikenberg and walked him right back

1842
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 2: into Tuam five yards, walked him right back into Tua

1843
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 2: like I mean, just took his right on his right

1844
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 2: hand and put it right at the via the neck

1845
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 2: of Eikeenberg and just went and just took him straight back.

1846
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it was so impressive that got to it

1847
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 2: a move. Then Will got the sack from behind. Great,

1848
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 2: great job. Now how did that sack well manifest itself

1849
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 2: in the game. Well, it took about three or four plays,

1850
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 2: but eventually, sitting at the six yard line, the Texans.

1851
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: Went to their main guy, Nico.

1852
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 2: Collins for his first touchdown a day, A number four

1853
01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 2: Nico six yards on an umbelow evible.

1854
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: Throw from CJ.

1855
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 4: Shroud third down and three at the Dolphins six drout

1856
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 4: and the gun Darry in the backfield with him. Here's

1857
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 4: CJ taking the snap looking CJ scrambling to the left,

1858
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 4: squaring up CJ throwing back of the end zone.

1859
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 6: God Nico Collins touchdown.

1860
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:20,680
Speaker 11: Houston Stroud with the improvisation to find Collins in the

1861
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 11: end zone.

1862
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 10: Did you see the arm angle in which CJ threw

1863
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 10: that dime to Nico Collins. He's rolling left and just

1864
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 10: kind of flicks it from his hip and it's accurate,

1865
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 10: It's got enough zip on it. It's the best I've

1866
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 10: seen him throw the football in his two years here.

1867
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,679
Speaker 1: That was special. That was moving to the left, throwing

1868
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:45,679
Speaker 1: back to the right.

1869
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 6: That's that's in the Patrick Mahons category.

1870
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 2: I mean, flicked its side arm with a little bit

1871
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 2: of sauce on it, but just enough to get over linebackers.

1872
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 2: Nico finding the open spot. Those two working well together.

1873
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 2: CG Nico one time at number four, Well how about

1874
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 2: another time at number three?

1875
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm all about that.

1876
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 6: Let's do it.

1877
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:13,919
Speaker 2: Nicocollins finishes a third quarter drive, moving with his quarterback

1878
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 2: and he started all the way on the left side

1879
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 2: of this formation. On his play, ran in the back

1880
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 2: of the end zone. Saw CJ moving, kept moving, kept moving,

1881
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 2: kept moving. All of it came back to the front

1882
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 2: right pylon to make this toe drag swag catch. This

1883
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,760
Speaker 2: is at number three, Nico's second touchdown in the game.

1884
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 2: CJ Stroud's second passing touchdown of the day.

1885
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 1: It's a number three.

1886
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 11: Bunch formation right, CJ under center and kick some of

1887
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 11: the backfield second and goal at the sixth CJ.

1888
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: Fakes the game, boots out to the right. He's on

1889
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: the roll.

1890
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 11: CJ looking, CJ trying to buy some time, throws to

1891
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 11: the end zone. Caught Nicocollins touchdown number two on the tab.

1892
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,799
Speaker 6: What a player Nicocollins has become.

1893
01:28:57,680 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 10: I mean, he is as good he is in the

1894
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 10: category with any number one receiver in the entire league.

1895
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:09,920
Speaker 10: He's lighting it up. He's healthy and just doing his thing.

1896
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 1: So, okay, two and one.

1897
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 2: And I know, if you've paid attention from the beginning,

1898
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 2: you're going, oh, you're missing this, you're missing that.

1899
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 1: Not really.

1900
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 2: I was saving some things for the end. But what

1901
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 2: I couldn't figure out for a little while was what

1902
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 2: should be one? What should be two? And then it

1903
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 2: hit me that the simplest thing is that two is

1904
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 2: more than one, right, So I let simple math kind

1905
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 2: of figure out that since two was greater than one.

1906
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 2: Then I would have one play at number two and

1907
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 2: two plays at number one. You follow that and now

1908
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:47,160
Speaker 2: you maybe have figured it out. So number two comes

1909
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:50,440
Speaker 2: with a little bit of a story. And it's Saturday,

1910
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 2: and I had kind of been out running some aarons

1911
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 2: and so I was behind on my DVR on the

1912
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:01,960
Speaker 2: Army Navy game. And so Navy's trying to come back,

1913
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 2: or I'm sorry, Army's trying to come back. It's really

1914
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:07,240
Speaker 2: fun game to watch. And I get a text from

1915
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 2: from Drew Doherty, who you guys know very well, and

1916
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 2: Drew says, Frank Ross needs to put that fake punt

1917
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 2: in with Tim Settle. That was awesome. And then I said,

1918
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,639
Speaker 2: thanks Drew, you blew it. I now know it's coming.

1919
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 2: But when I saw what happened and I saw the

1920
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:28,679
Speaker 2: punt line up, actually Drew helped me because my father

1921
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:30,679
Speaker 2: in law was watching and I was like, hey, watch

1922
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:33,840
Speaker 2: the fake. He thought I was a sooth share. Anyways,

1923
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:36,600
Speaker 2: what Navy did was they snapped it to one of

1924
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:38,600
Speaker 2: their upbacks. And the reason he mentioned Tim Settle is

1925
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,719
Speaker 2: they snapped it to the defensive tackle and the defensive

1926
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,759
Speaker 2: tackle just took off down the field flying.

1927
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: Big game for Navy.

1928
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:46,639
Speaker 2: They would score a touchdown later and that would essentially

1929
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,639
Speaker 2: seal the game. But what Drew did was he had

1930
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 2: fake punt in my head. And a lot of times

1931
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,640
Speaker 2: the fake punt it's typically around midfield.

1932
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Texans were at the.

1933
01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 2: Forty five yard line of the Dolphins, and I I

1934
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 2: thought back to Drew's text, Hey, maybe a fake punt's coming. Well,

1935
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 2: then I look in the Dolphins have Zach Syler on

1936
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 2: a field. They have Klay's cam on a field quitting

1937
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 2: Bell's outside linebacker. I'm like, oh crap, they're in punt's safe.

1938
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 2: I don't think a fake is coming. But then I

1939
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 2: see the ball snapped and I see people running, in

1940
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 2: particular MJ. Stewart, and m J. Stewart's a personal protector.

1941
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 2: But because the ball is running away from me, I

1942
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 2: can't really see what's happening. And I know if I

1943
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,559
Speaker 2: can't see it, I'm pretty sure that Mark can't see

1944
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: it either. And then all of a sudden, I see

1945
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 2: thirty three at the ball and I start screaming at Mark.

1946
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: Darry's got it.

1947
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 2: Darry's got it, and Daria goomble walle took off on

1948
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 2: a sprint. Now there's a fumble dust up. We know

1949
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 2: how the review would go. They did replay assist. Daria

1950
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 2: was down.

1951
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 1: The ball came out, but at number two.

1952
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 2: The fake punt, the first fake punt of the year,

1953
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 2: the best fake punt I've seen in a while. Daria

1954
01:31:56,120 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 2: Goomblewallee keeps a third quarter drive alive with thirty five

1955
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 2: yards on the fake punt.

1956
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 11: In their territory and it's a fake and running around

1957
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 11: the right side, dare forty thirty five thirty twenty fifteen

1958
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 11: and ripped out of the ten.

1959
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 6: The ball comes out. Oht know, he may be down.

1960
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:17,759
Speaker 6: He was down.

1961
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins say they have it. There's a

1962
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 1: big scraw.

1963
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:23,800
Speaker 10: I don't know now looking at the replay team after

1964
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 10: renew the runner was down by contact.

1965
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 1: He's way down. Okay.

1966
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 2: Texans would score a couple plays later to take a

1967
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 2: twenty to six lead, and that would be enough on

1968
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 2: this day. But man, what a great fake punk call

1969
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:43,599
Speaker 2: the guts Bydimiko Ryans to call it the execution from

1970
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,680
Speaker 2: Frank Ross's crew. The blocks on the right side are

1971
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 2: just stupid good from Neville Hewett at guard, Pinnaclays Campbell

1972
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:55,679
Speaker 2: inside del Sean Phillips blocking Quintin Bell inside, to Jake

1973
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,800
Speaker 2: Hansen going up to the linebacker, to Dylan Horton being

1974
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 2: a pulling guard base and kicking out and Darry then

1975
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:03,000
Speaker 2: getting a corner.

1976
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 1: It was awesome. When I see thirty three.

1977
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 2: Just just up the field, I'm like, oh, this is

1978
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 2: so good. Then I'm standing like right where the ball

1979
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 2: came out. I'm like, no, but it was down, So

1980
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 2: we're all good. At number two, the fake punt which

1981
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 2: leads us to number one, where there are two plays

1982
01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 2: and you know exactly what they are. That man him

1983
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 2: Sting Derek Stingley Junior. The first pick is I mean,

1984
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 2: it's textbook. It's so Textbook's third and five, Tyreek Hill

1985
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 2: goes into the slot, Sting follows him. You know it's

1986
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 2: man to man. Everybody knows it's man of man. The

1987
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:46,080
Speaker 2: Dolphins know it's manda man. It's Tyreek Hill against Derek

1988
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:48,720
Speaker 2: Stingley Junior. It's one of the greatest receivers we've ever

1989
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 2: seen against a guy growing into maybe the best cornerback

1990
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:54,759
Speaker 2: we've ever seen, and our guy one.

1991
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 1: It's the first part of number one.

1992
01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 11: Third down and five a that he was did twenty

1993
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:02,560
Speaker 11: two and the guy. Here's the snap to a quick fire.

1994
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 6: Right side and intercepted by Stanley.

1995
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 11: He's got it across the fifteen and wrestled at a

1996
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 11: bounds by Hill. Derek Stingley jun you're the ied team.

1997
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 11: He turns back Miami. What a takeaway for the Texans.

1998
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 11: They've got the rocket a twenty to.

1999
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 2: Twelve league with ten twenty six to go in the fourth,

2000
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:25,640
Speaker 2: but the Texans would need twenty four to seal it.

2001
01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 2: On the final offensive play of the game, that wasn't

2002
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:31,679
Speaker 2: a kneel down to Tonga Bayla side.

2003
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: He was gonna go deep to Tyreek this time.

2004
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 2: And Tyreek had the ball in his hands momentarily and

2005
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 2: then two four took it away from him to end

2006
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:44,559
Speaker 2: the game to seal it. This is the second part

2007
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,879
Speaker 2: of number one Derek Stingley's second interception today from.

2008
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:49,559
Speaker 1: The Dolphin twenty three first and ten.

2009
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:54,559
Speaker 11: Tua takes the snap Tua with pressure, throwing Caffield to

2010
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 11: his right and intercepted Stanley again.

2011
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:03,480
Speaker 6: That's gonna do. The Texans are gonna beat Miami. Stingley's

2012
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:05,719
Speaker 6: second pick seals the deal.

2013
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 2: Man, Houston will get its ninth twins man. What a

2014
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 2: way to end the show. That's perfect right there. Thank you,

Speaker 4: with some great stuff here, including our interview, or at

2029
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,840
Speaker 4: least a hefty portion of it with the executive vice

2030
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 4: president and general manager, Nick Cassario. Johnny and I visited

2031
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 4: with him in studio and Johnny started it off with

2032
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 4: a question about how you handle the final three games

2033
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 4: of the season now that you've clinched the AFC South.

2034
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna move a little bit closer to Mark

2035
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:17,720
Speaker 1: when I asked this question.

2036
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 2: Uh oh, the next three weeks, Like, have you guys

2037
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:22,560
Speaker 2: talked about how you handle it?

2038
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 1: How do you go about it?

2039
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 2: That you kind of talked about because obviously this is

2040
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 2: a tricky one between the game on Saturday, game on

2041
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 2: Wednesday and then Titans. Have you kind of talked about that,

2042
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 2: Hey we got the division, you thought about that or

2043
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 2: talked about that or looked ahead.

2044
01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:34,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the.

2045
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 12: Big thing is just focusing on Kansas City and then

2046
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 12: just figuring out what we have to do to get

2047
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:41,440
Speaker 12: ourselves ready to play. We'll go through the injury evaluation,

2048
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:44,679
Speaker 12: who's available, who's not available, but ultimately it's about being

2049
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 12: ready to go against Kansas City on a road against

2050
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:50,560
Speaker 12: good football team who there's an opportunity we could potentially

2051
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 12: see them again here at some point. So I think

2052
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 12: the focus is just on this game. What we got

2053
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 12: to do. We lose a game a day here with

2054
01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 12: a short week leaving Friday for the game on Saturday,

2055
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 12: so I think we're kind of one day at a time,

2056
01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 12: one game at a time, keep the focus on Kansas City,

2057
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 12: which is where it should be.

2058
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:08,760
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the defensive performance against the Dolphins. We

2059
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 4: sat here last week talking about all their speed, the

2060
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 4: screen passes, the eye candy, whatever you want to call it,

2061
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 4: and the defense handled it so well.

2062
01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did a great job, played really disciplined.

2063
01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 12: I think the one thing that stood out, aside from

2064
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 12: the takeaways yesterday, it was just the tackling and limiting

2065
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 12: the space. So there was a number of examples of

2066
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 12: if you had to set the perimeter of the defense,

2067
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:31,639
Speaker 12: force the ball back inside to the cavalry, and we

2068
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 12: talk about those guys running to the football, swarm into

2069
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 12: the football, running out of the stack, and there were

2070
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:39,719
Speaker 12: multiple examples. When you stopped the film, you had five

2071
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 12: or six jerseys in the pictures. So we talked about

2072
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 12: that before the game, that's what it was going to

2073
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:48,639
Speaker 12: take and we saw multiple examples of that. And anytime

2074
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 12: you play a team like that that plays in space

2075
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:54,200
Speaker 12: where if you don't get them down, you got to

2076
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 12: make sure that you have second and third level and

2077
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 12: the players did a really good job of that. So

2078
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 12: it's probably one of the things that outdid out of

2079
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,559
Speaker 12: the takeaways that really stood out with the With.

2080
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 2: The game, I think one of my favorites, Nick was

2081
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 2: when Malik Washington caught a screen and it looked like

2082
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 2: he was starting to break break it out of there

2083
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 2: and Tommy Togi I recognized it and started sprinting down field.

2084
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure if kayl would have made a tackle,

2085
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 2: but Tommy ends up making a tackle. It's a ten

2086
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 2: yard game, but that he slips that tackle with Kaylin

2087
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:21,679
Speaker 2: and Tommy is loafing, are not running?

2088
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 1: That's going to the house.

2089
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 3: No Clinton, That was kind of near their sideline. But

2090
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:26,160
Speaker 3: we talked about.

2091
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 12: Having screen awareness, so if the lineman gives you a cue,

2092
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:31,639
Speaker 12: he recognize the play, you got to turn and run.

2093
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 3: And Washington's a fast guy.

2094
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 12: So for Tommy to make that play, I mean he

2095
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 12: was involved in the play, but we had a couple

2096
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 12: of defenders near the ball. I mean that certainly was

2097
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:40,680
Speaker 12: a big play, no question about it.

2098
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 4: Well, the edge rushers for the Texans really did a

2099
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 4: good job will knocking the ball out.

2100
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 3: Danil had that very clutch sack. What about the.

2101
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:50,560
Speaker 12: Pass rush, Yeah, we talked about trying to disrupt the

2102
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 12: Tommy of the quarterback there and we'd always didn't get

2103
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 12: to him, but we did there were a number of

2104
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 12: plays him and Settle forced a number of holding penalties

2105
01:38:57,439 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 12: as well, and even on a strip sack, Audrey Howard

2106
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 12: the right guard and then forced the quarterback to retreat

2107
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 12: out the back door, and then Will came around and

2108
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:08,240
Speaker 12: knocked the ball off. So pass rush is about a

2109
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 12: coordinated effort amongst four or five, depending how much you're rushing.

2110
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:13,760
Speaker 12: And there are a number of examples of good pass

2111
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,680
Speaker 12: rush coordination. And then some players won an individually. At

2112
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 12: Daniel Sack. I mean, he basically did his spin move

2113
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 12: and the right tackle essentially didn't touch him. There's always

2114
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 12: a number of factors excuse me that going to rush.

2115
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:26,599
Speaker 12: It's rush and coverage, but the front deserves a lot

2116
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:28,840
Speaker 12: of credit for how we rushed the right way with

2117
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 12: the according to the rush plan.

2118
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so I can ask this question because this is

2119
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 1: part of my contract. Kamari Lassiter, I remember was drafted, yeah,

2120
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:41,559
Speaker 1: Kaylen Bullock was drafted, yes, correct, Derek Stingley was drafted

2121
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 1: all by you, Yeah, right, by the association.

2122
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 2: But those three guys have come up with a number

2123
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:51,800
Speaker 2: of interceptions. The ballhawk nature Nick, There's so many things

2124
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:54,680
Speaker 2: we've talked about with those defensive backs. You know, over

2125
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 2: the last couple of years and then this year with

2126
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 2: Kaylin and with Kamari, we've talked about, you know, their

2127
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 2: willingness to come and tackle and make those plays, but

2128
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,640
Speaker 2: the way they attack the football, I would imagine that's

2129
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,559
Speaker 2: something obviously as she started and looked at a lot,

2130
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:07,680
Speaker 2: but now it's coming really defruition with a number of

2131
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:08,559
Speaker 2: times to take it away.

2132
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 12: Yeah, and it's the viewpoints always kind of different. So

2133
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 12: corner's playing the ball and attacking the ball is different

2134
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:16,599
Speaker 12: than how safeties played the ball. Safety as usually playing

2135
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:18,680
Speaker 12: it from top down with the ball in front of

2136
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 12: you and having vision to the quarterback.

2137
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 3: A corner, there's times.

2138
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 12: Plenty of times where your back is to the quarterback

2139
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:26,439
Speaker 12: when you're not playing off covered and driving and breaking

2140
01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 12: on the ball. So we've seen Derek make a number

2141
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 12: of plays like he did yesterday. I'm not sure quite

2142
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 12: the extent like the one at the end of the game,

2143
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 12: but just the ability to turn and find the ball.

2144
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 12: And then it's safety. You're reading a quarterback and reacting

2145
01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 12: to the throw and you want to make sure that

2146
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 12: you take the right angle, and a lot of times

2147
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 12: it's being able to finish the play with the interception.

2148
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 12: Caylen has really good hands, and we talked about this

2149
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 12: going back to the spring and in the draft. That

2150
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:51,720
Speaker 12: was one of the things that stood out about him,

2151
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 12: and even Kamarai. He's gotten his hands on the ball

2152
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,640
Speaker 12: as well. I put Kamari up. There is as good

2153
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 12: as at tackling corner as there is in the league.

2154
01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:00,560
Speaker 12: I mean the way he forces, the way he's supports,

2155
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:04,200
Speaker 12: the violence, the urgency, and I would say the Sting's

2156
01:41:04,240 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 12: credit as well. Sting is really improved as a tackler.

2157
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 12: And there were multiple examples in the game. So you know,

2158
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,800
Speaker 12: we lose sight of the highlight reel plays on the ball,

2159
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:14,759
Speaker 12: but he had a number of really strong tackles, run force,

2160
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 12: crack replays, tackles which if he doesn't make that play,

2161
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:20,719
Speaker 12: the ball carrier is going to gain extra yards.

2162
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, first play the game, first play the game gets

2163
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 1: a TfL.

2164
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 2: I want to say, there was a stat that our

2165
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:29,600
Speaker 2: our prear department put out that said two TFLs two interceptions.

2166
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 3: I don't first first time in history.

2167
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 12: The department put it out there. They're probably right, right, no, no, no,

2168
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:36,800
Speaker 12: but it's just it's a credit.

2169
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 1: Then putting out there.

2170
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 2: But it's a credit to sting to two TFLs and

2171
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:41,080
Speaker 2: two picks in the same game, and that's pretty nice.

2172
01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 3: That is awesome, all right.

2173
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 4: Speaking of awesome, I'm going full Chris Farley here as well.

2174
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 1: Uh, to get Christian Harris back.

2175
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 3: I mean, that was.

2176
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 4: Great at a big time when you needed him, and

2177
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:52,600
Speaker 4: it wasn't like you played every single snap, but I

2178
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 4: felt like he was out there an awful lot.

2179
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 3: He was out there a lot.

2180
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 12: He was prepared, he was excited, he was ready to

2181
01:41:58,240 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 12: ready to go, and he made a difference in the game.

2182
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 12: I think he had eight tackles. Henry had eleven tackles.

2183
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 12: So between the two of them, you're talking about guys

2184
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 12: the linebackers had, you know, twenty some out to almost

2185
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 12: twenty tackles. But it's always good to have good players

2186
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 12: on the football field, and Christian's shown that he's one

2187
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 12: of our better football players. His speed, his urgencies, ability

2188
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:17,560
Speaker 12: to close and cover shows up. It's great to have

2189
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:21,120
Speaker 12: him back, and hopefully he feels he felt decent when

2190
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 12: he woke up after the game. But he may have

2191
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,680
Speaker 12: played a few more snaps than we had anticipated. But

2192
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 12: to his credit, I mean, he did a great job

2193
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 12: with his opportunities.

2194
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so going forward with Christian because he played for

2195
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 2: thirteen weeks, because I asked him that, you know, how

2196
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 2: do you feel just kind of what do you feel?

2197
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 1: How do you feel low? You know, we'll fight out

2198
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow and that day after.

2199
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 2: But when you have so many games in a small span,

2200
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 2: do you do you look at his snaps and what

2201
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:47,799
Speaker 2: he can do a little differently Nick, because he hasn't

2202
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 2: played for a long time.

2203
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 12: It's a big thing. Is just kind of go through

2204
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:53,240
Speaker 12: the week. How are they recovering, how do they feel physically?

2205
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 12: Where's their mindset to they having limitations? So understanding there's

2206
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 12: a little bit of a ramp up that's required play,

2207
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 12: say back to back games of sixty five seventy eighty plays.

2208
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:05,600
Speaker 3: Could catch up with you.

2209
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 12: So we'll monitor it and ultimately we'll do we feels

2210
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 12: best for the players.

2211
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:09,599
Speaker 1: All right.

2212
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 4: Offensively, running game not what you wanted it to be,

2213
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,639
Speaker 4: but the passing game opportunistic, able to get the two

2214
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 4: tds and score when you really needed to.

2215
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, a good example of complimentary football.

2216
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:22,840
Speaker 12: It will take kind of the short fields and convert

2217
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 12: those into scoring plays. I think we were two or

2218
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 12: three in the right area. Were literally only play the

2219
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 12: area the time we got stopped was there at the

2220
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 12: end of the half. Kind of that after the Kalin turnover,

2221
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 12: but be able to convert the first turnover into a

2222
01:43:34,240 --> 01:43:37,679
Speaker 12: touchdown and the convert Dares fake punt into a touchdown.

2223
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:41,800
Speaker 12: So anytime you can convert with touchdowns and the scoring zone,

2224
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:43,800
Speaker 12: that's going to make a difference, and they'll end up

2225
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:46,479
Speaker 12: being different difference making plays in the game.

2226
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:49,680
Speaker 2: Move Titus over left guard, Blake Fisher moves out to

2227
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 2: right tackle. Would you think of that configuration, Nick, And

2228
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 2: how did you think after you watch.

2229
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:55,519
Speaker 1: The film with that offensive lineman and the offensive line play.

2230
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, overall they did a pretty solid job.

2231
01:43:57,400 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 12: So a couple of times, you know, with the play

2232
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 12: was extended and the rush was extended, so you know,

2233
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 12: credit to Miami for a chop kind of came out

2234
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:07,879
Speaker 12: of the back four in a few of those. But overall,

2235
01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 12: I mean there was a number of plays where the

2236
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:11,759
Speaker 12: pocket was clean, we had opportunity to throw the football.

2237
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:14,559
Speaker 12: Blake did a pretty solid job, played firm, played physical

2238
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 12: and pass protection. Like I said, Chopp got around them,

2239
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 12: you know one or two times, but chops are really

2240
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 12: good edge rushers. So but overall that group played a

2241
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 12: real solid football game and they're a big reason why

2242
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:26,560
Speaker 12: we were able to move the ball offensively.

2243
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 4: You mentioned with players snaps and such, you see how

2244
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:30,920
Speaker 4: they feel during the week and that kind of thing.

2245
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 4: But the good teams are going to play in the

2246
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 4: primetime games, and you have some experience with these short

2247
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 4: weeks against the Jets and after the Dallas game, so

2248
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:39,559
Speaker 4: that's got to help everybody as far as the support

2249
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:41,320
Speaker 4: staff and the players to get ready for this.

2250
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, in some respects were battle tested.

2251
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 12: So even going back to what it was week two

2252
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 12: or three when we played Chicago on Sunday night, we've

2253
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 12: played on Monday night, We've played Thursday night. So we

2254
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,559
Speaker 12: kind of had to deal with the alternative schedule. It's

2255
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 12: not perfect for the players. I'm sure if you ask

2256
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,840
Speaker 12: the players, they like the routine. Sure, kind of staying

2257
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 12: on schedule, but we're able to adjust and adapt and

2258
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,519
Speaker 12: modify as we go, which that's what's That's what it

2259
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 12: takes this time of year. So whatever we got to

2260
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 12: do to get the team ready to go, that's where

2261
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:08,720
Speaker 12: the focus will be.

2262
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we like the routine too, matching up practice with radios.

2263
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 2: It's all good, okay, behind us good win win. The

2264
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:21,160
Speaker 2: AFC South fantastic, excellent. The Chiefs are coming up, going

2265
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 2: to a place where we've had some bad luck there lately.

2266
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:28,639
Speaker 2: But now we're facing maybe a long time a long

2267
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 2: time ago, a long time ago, five years anyway, Patrick

2268
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 2: Mahons banged up a little bit, don't know. But the

2269
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 2: Chiefs teams were a lot of games well, last one

2270
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 2: went and beat the Brown yesterday the biggest margin. And

2271
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 2: think all year your thoughts in the Scotty reporting Kansas Chiefs.

2272
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:45,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, this is one of the best organizations in football,

2273
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,479
Speaker 12: top to bottom, starting with the Hunt ownership group and

2274
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 12: what they've done. And I think you're talking about a

2275
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 12: team that has arguably four Hall of Fame people or players,

2276
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 12: starting with coach Reid. Talk about Patrick he'll be in

2277
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:00,600
Speaker 12: the Hall of Fame, Chris Jones, he'll be in the

2278
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,599
Speaker 12: Hall of Fame. Travis Kelsey he'll be in the Hall

2279
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:07,400
Speaker 12: of Fame. So you're talking about peak performers essentially every level,

2280
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 12: who have been very consistent. There's a reason that they've

2281
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 12: won three Super Bowls. I mean, Coach Reid is good

2282
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:15,439
Speaker 12: to coach in all sport, him and breteach. They do

2283
01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 12: a great job of constructing the team and they've had

2284
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:21,200
Speaker 12: to make some adjustments and changes year to year based

2285
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 12: on their personnel. Everything offensively starts with Patrick. There's nobody

2286
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:30,240
Speaker 12: like him. He's so unique. He's obviously very talented and

2287
01:46:30,360 --> 01:46:33,559
Speaker 12: very skilled, but he's very, very tough, and I think

2288
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,679
Speaker 12: when you look at their team and what the games

2289
01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 12: that they've been involved in, they've been in one score

2290
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 12: game essentially every week, and he's made winning plays in

2291
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 12: the fourth quarter, which is what great players do. They

2292
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 12: make winning plays when the game is on the line.

2293
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,200
Speaker 12: So obviously everything starts with him. We'll see kind of

2294
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:52,679
Speaker 12: where he is physically. We're preparing for him to play.

2295
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 12: If he doesn't play, then it'll be WinCE. But Patrick

2296
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 12: is his skilled and unique a player as there's in

2297
01:46:57,760 --> 01:47:01,679
Speaker 12: the league. And the offensive line. About the three inside players,

2298
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:03,680
Speaker 12: you know with Creid Humphrey at center, with Smith at

2299
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 12: right guard, and Joe Toney who we had experience with

2300
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 12: in New England. Tooney actually had a kick out the

2301
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:10,320
Speaker 12: left tackle the other day against Cleveland. Because they've had

2302
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 12: some tackle issues right tackle have kind of been consistent

2303
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 12: with Taylor, but left tackle, they've kind of rotated some

2304
01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 12: guys in and out.

2305
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 3: We've had multiple backs in there. It's been Hunt, it's

2306
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:21,000
Speaker 3: been Pacheco. Kelsey's been there all year.

2307
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 12: The guy that's kind of really emerged a little bit

2308
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,160
Speaker 12: in that second tight end roles Noah Gray. He's really

2309
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,160
Speaker 12: added a lot to their offense. And they've lost some

2310
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:31,559
Speaker 12: receivers with t injury, but they traded for d Hop

2311
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 12: you know, Marquise Brown could potentially be back. They've used

2312
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 12: Worthy justin Watson, So they have a collection of players

2313
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 12: offensive when they know how to play, and Patrick can

2314
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 12: do things that not a lot of quarterbacks can do.

2315
01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:46,920
Speaker 12: And the defensively, i mean Spags is a good as

2316
01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:49,320
Speaker 12: defensive coordinator probably in the history of the game, like

2317
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 12: going back to his time with the Giants and what

2318
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:54,599
Speaker 12: he's done with his defense. This is a very very

2319
01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:58,080
Speaker 12: good defensive team. I mean, they're winning because of their offense,

2320
01:47:58,120 --> 01:48:00,000
Speaker 12: but they've won as many games on defense as well.

2321
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 12: And everything starts with Chris Jones. Wherever they line him

2322
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 12: up his defensive tackle. He's a defensive end. He's an

2323
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 12: absolute game wrecker and he's been one of the best

2324
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 12: defensive players for a number of years now. But between

2325
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,639
Speaker 12: him and Carl Loftis, they've got good players on the front,

2326
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:16,920
Speaker 12: a man who's given him some good snaps coming back

2327
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 12: off the injury here on the edge, and then a linebacker.

2328
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 12: You know, Bolton is probably an underrated player that not

2329
01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:24,480
Speaker 12: a lot of people talked about, but his leadership is toughness.

2330
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 12: He plays physical. This is a very physical defense, and

2331
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,640
Speaker 12: in the secondary, let's say McDuffie is as good of

2332
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 12: a corner that.

2333
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 3: There is in the league, and go In can go out.

2334
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 12: And then on the other side, they've kind of had

2335
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 12: multiple players that they played opposite, opposite him, and at

2336
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:41,720
Speaker 12: safety it's kind of been Justin and Cook for the

2337
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 12: most part, and Justin's really done a nice job. Justin

2338
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 12: re's done a really good job for them since they

2339
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 12: acquired him and they signed him away from us there

2340
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 12: however many years ago.

2341
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 3: That was So they play a lot of people. They do.

2342
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 3: They present a lot of problems for the offense.

2343
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 12: It's a very attacking, very aggressive played with a very

2344
01:48:57,479 --> 01:49:00,759
Speaker 12: aggressive mindset. They're going to pressure you to play physical

2345
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 12: and they're created a lot of negative plays and a

2346
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:04,599
Speaker 12: kicking game. You know, Coach Tobb has done a really

2347
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 12: good job in a turn game. Good punter, you know,

2348
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 12: Reza has done a good job for them. They've had

2349
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 12: to use multiple kickers. So this is a team that,

2350
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 12: regardless of who's playing, has found a way to win.

2351
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,200
Speaker 12: So you can't have nothing but respect for a team

2352
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 12: that goes about their business that way.

2353
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:22,600
Speaker 1: Nick, you faced Andy Reid organizations. You've been involved with

2354
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 1: this one.

2355
01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:24,960
Speaker 4: We had a match up with them a couple of

2356
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,720
Speaker 4: years ago, but also in your previous life with the Patriots,

2357
01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 4: Super Bowl against the Eagles and AFC Championship game against

2358
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:33,000
Speaker 4: the Chiefs.

2359
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,559
Speaker 1: How has Andy Reid evolved as.

2360
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:36,000
Speaker 3: A head coach.

2361
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 4: He's one of the very best, and he's chasing Don

2362
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 4: Shula's record as much as Belichick was.

2363
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 12: Absolutely, I think a lot of the great coaches have

2364
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 12: the ability to adjust and adapt kind of on a

2365
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:48,760
Speaker 12: year to year basis. So the way they were constructed

2366
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 12: when Andy first took over, however many years ago, that

2367
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 12: was to where they are now. I mean, everybody wants

2368
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:55,559
Speaker 12: to say, well, it's pigeonhole off Well, it's a West

2369
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:56,880
Speaker 12: Coast offense, this is what it is.

2370
01:49:57,400 --> 01:49:58,919
Speaker 3: Well, it's the Chiefs offense.

2371
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:01,639
Speaker 12: And they've kind of taken what they do and made

2372
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:04,640
Speaker 12: some adjustments and incorporates some concepts that are comfortable for

2373
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:08,000
Speaker 12: Patrick or that accentuate the skills of their players. But

2374
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 12: coach Reid is as good of a coach as there

2375
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 12: is in professional sports. And each year they kind of

2376
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:14,360
Speaker 12: look at their team try to figure out what they

2377
01:50:14,360 --> 01:50:17,680
Speaker 12: need to do to be successful, and then they're very consistent.

2378
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:20,639
Speaker 12: The coach Reid runs a very rigorous training camp. Sure

2379
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:23,360
Speaker 12: he has demiko about it, he'll tell you, but they

2380
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 12: put a lot of stress and tax the players and

2381
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:30,520
Speaker 12: are very demanding, but they put them in a positions

2382
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:32,599
Speaker 12: where when they have to go out there and perform

2383
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 12: a critical situation, they're ready for it. So coach Reid,

2384
01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:37,760
Speaker 12: he's won wherever he's been and he's as good of

2385
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:40,799
Speaker 12: a coach as there is in the league to beat.

2386
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:44,679
Speaker 2: Them, obviously slowing down Patrick Mahomes. What, Nick, what are

2387
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 2: a few absolutes against Patrick Mahomes, Like, you can't allow this,

2388
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 2: You can't do this because Patrick will respond with this.

2389
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 2: What are some of the absolutes that you know you

2390
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:58,639
Speaker 2: just cannot do against him and expect to win?

2391
01:50:58,760 --> 01:50:59,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's best you can.

2392
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 12: You got the rush has to be disciplined because you've

2393
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 12: got to try to you can't let him out of

2394
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 12: the pocket where he can kind of create and make

2395
01:51:06,160 --> 01:51:08,800
Speaker 12: some loose plays. So he's more athletic than people give

2396
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:10,720
Speaker 12: him credit for. Maybe he's not to the extent of

2397
01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 12: Josh Allen and Lamar, but he has a way of

2398
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:17,360
Speaker 12: just navigating around things, and you just got to try

2399
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:21,000
Speaker 12: to take away certain plays. But understanding, like he's gonna

2400
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 12: make plays, he's gonna make throws, and if you can

2401
01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 12: force him into a turnover or get the ball off

2402
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:27,720
Speaker 12: of them, like those are things if you can do it.

2403
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 12: But I mean, Patrick has probably seen just about every

2404
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 12: coverage and every defense, and like I said a little

2405
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 12: bit earlier, he just makes winning plays in the most

2406
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:38,280
Speaker 12: critical situation. And he's just mentally and physically tough. Probably

2407
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 12: he's any player at that position, which is why he's

2408
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 12: going to be in the Hall of Fame one day.

2409
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 4: Nick officials, I'm not gonna get you fined or anything,

2410
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:48,200
Speaker 4: but officiating is it kind of like umpires in baseball

2411
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 4: with a different strike zone. They look for different things

2412
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 4: or emphasize certain things. The rules are the same, but

2413
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:56,280
Speaker 4: different crews have different styles. If you will of calling

2414
01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:56,679
Speaker 4: a game.

2415
01:51:57,200 --> 01:51:59,720
Speaker 12: They are and officiating is difficult because of the way

2416
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 12: things happened. They happen at a high rate of speed,

2417
01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:03,840
Speaker 12: and it happened very quick. If you don't have your

2418
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:07,240
Speaker 12: eyes fixated in one particular spot, then maybe you miss

2419
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 12: it or don't see it as cleanly as you would

2420
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 12: a hope. So the files are the files, the ones

2421
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 12: you got to call, and then there's a little bit

2422
01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:16,040
Speaker 12: of a subject development, so you just have to have

2423
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 12: an understanding of how the crew is going to call

2424
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:21,360
Speaker 12: the game. And there's been a lot of turnover on

2425
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:23,479
Speaker 12: the official front as well, so some of it is

2426
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 12: learning some of the nuances associated with the game.

2427
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 3: So officials have a hard job. We understand that.

2428
01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 12: I think the big thing from our perspective is just

2429
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:33,479
Speaker 12: make sure we have a reasonable explanation of what happened

2430
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:35,799
Speaker 12: and then can kind of get the information from the league.

2431
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 12: This way, it's all about being able to teach and

2432
01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:40,639
Speaker 12: train our players so we can coach them the appropriate way.

2433
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 2: Nick, we know they've got a ton offensive weapons. You

2434
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 2: mentioned the future Hall of Famers through Hopkins in a mix.

2435
01:52:45,920 --> 01:52:47,960
Speaker 2: What's xavier' worthy given to this offense?

2436
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:49,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he's been productive.

2437
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 12: They've tried to incorporate him from the beginning of the season,

2438
01:52:52,240 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 12: so kind of get the ball in his hands. I mean,

2439
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:55,799
Speaker 12: he's probably one of the fastest players in the NFL,

2440
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:57,640
Speaker 12: so he's a little bit of a He's definitely a

2441
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 12: space player where if he gets some open space, he

2442
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 12: can go, but he can still run routes. So even

2443
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 12: though he's kind of a smaller player like he's, he's

2444
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 12: tough for his size. It's say in some respects, he

2445
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:10,760
Speaker 12: and Tank have some similarities, but they've definitely tried to

2446
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 12: incorporate him. I think it'll be interesting to see if

2447
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 12: they do get Hollywood Brown back how that affects their

2448
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 12: offense here a little bit. But they've made some They've

2449
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:19,680
Speaker 12: lost Forshi or Shi was a big part of their

2450
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:21,439
Speaker 12: offense where she was in a kind of an emerging

2451
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:24,800
Speaker 12: young player, so unfortunately lost him, but Hop's been able

2452
01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:26,479
Speaker 12: to kind of find a little bit of a niche

2453
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 12: They have worthy, so they kind of use all their

2454
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:31,000
Speaker 12: skilled players, and then going back the whole tight end position.

2455
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 12: Everybody knows about Kelsey, not everybody really talks or knows

2456
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 12: about Gray, but he's Patrick has a lot of faith

2457
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,600
Speaker 12: and trust in Noah Gray as much as anybody.

2458
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 4: You mentioned Tank. It's interesting Tank returning punds can make

2459
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 4: plays that way, had that carry yesterday, and also with

2460
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 4: Damian Pierce returning kickoffs.

2461
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:47,839
Speaker 3: You have two playmakers.

2462
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:49,960
Speaker 4: There are only so many opportunities in a game on offense,

2463
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:51,679
Speaker 4: so you get the ball in their hands to make plays.

2464
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 12: Try to find ways to get the ball in players

2465
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 12: hands that can make plays, so those two players have

2466
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 12: so many ability to do it. Dep's had multiple kickoff returns,

2467
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:01,880
Speaker 12: even on offensively, going back to the toss play against

2468
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:04,120
Speaker 12: New England, and then Tank did a good job making

2469
01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 12: you know, Ford three for forty five or whatever it

2470
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,519
Speaker 12: was on the punt returns, had the reverse for fifteen

2471
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:11,200
Speaker 12: twenty yards, had a couple other catches first down. So

2472
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:13,200
Speaker 12: anytime we can get the ball in the hands of

2473
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 12: players like that and they can do something with him

2474
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:16,200
Speaker 12: certainly going to make a difference.

2475
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 2: Nick felt like Sunday was a special team's day minus

2476
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 2: the off side on the field goal, but it felt

2477
01:54:22,200 --> 01:54:24,559
Speaker 2: like in every aspect, felt like the cover teams were

2478
01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:25,120
Speaker 2: really good.

2479
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:27,879
Speaker 1: You got a return game out of Tank. Then obviously

2480
01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 1: the fake punt especially teams seemed to be a really

2481
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:30,920
Speaker 1: high on Sunday.

2482
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:32,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, players take a lot of pride in those units,

2483
01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 12: There's no question about it. And you know, Frank and

2484
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:37,360
Speaker 12: Will put a lot of time into that. The players

2485
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 12: understand the importance of the kicking game. Were fortunate to

2486
01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:42,720
Speaker 12: have I think three really good specialists and then have

2487
01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:44,800
Speaker 12: some other players that are involved in the core. And

2488
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:46,640
Speaker 12: then we talked about the returners here a little bit.

2489
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 12: But Tommy over the last month or so it was

2490
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:51,200
Speaker 12: really punted the ball very very well and giving us

2491
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 12: a number of punts to cover. And then Boyd has

2492
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,240
Speaker 12: done a nice job, whether it's Ben Boyd or Kadar,

2493
01:54:56,440 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 12: different players at gunner going down there and being disruptive

2494
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:01,640
Speaker 12: and kind of forced in the offenses to play from

2495
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 12: a long field, so field position is always critical, kind

2496
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:06,880
Speaker 12: of controlling the element of the game. And then we

2497
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 12: made it play, made a few plays there in a

2498
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:11,600
Speaker 12: return game, and then the fake punt was being probably

2499
01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:12,400
Speaker 12: the difference in the game.

2500
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:15,800
Speaker 4: Nick for entertainment purposes only Indiana or Notre Dame Friday,

2501
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 4: I'm kidding.

2502
01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, but.

2503
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 12: Hender Gas would kill me, so I'll say not to day.

2504
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:23,920
Speaker 1: Sounds good all right, what more for you?

2505
01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:26,800
Speaker 4: All Right, it's the holiday season, Christmas is coming and

2506
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:29,880
Speaker 4: we have this three games, an eleven day situation going on.

2507
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 4: What did coaches and football personnel do before online shopping?

2508
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:35,280
Speaker 3: How did you guys get this done?

2509
01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:36,720
Speaker 1: This is absolutely nuts.

2510
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 12: It's funny you asked that, Mark, So I think I'll

2511
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:40,520
Speaker 12: just speak for myself.

2512
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:42,800
Speaker 3: So Friday is typically a little bit of an earlier,

2513
01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 3: lighter day.

2514
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:45,400
Speaker 12: So if you can carve out some time maybe on

2515
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:48,080
Speaker 12: the Friday afternoon and do some Christmas shopping and then

2516
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:50,600
Speaker 12: over the bye week, try to be judicious with my time.

2517
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 3: So did some Christmas shopping there.

2518
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:55,080
Speaker 12: Took our daughters shopping so they could shop for each

2519
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:58,720
Speaker 12: other and for their mother most importantly. So and then

2520
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:01,400
Speaker 12: online shopping all makes a difference as well. So if

2521
01:56:01,440 --> 01:56:03,360
Speaker 12: you get stuck. So but nobody's going to the mall

2522
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 12: for two hours and going to be rolling through the aisles.

2523
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 1: Well maybe you are, John, not me. I beg to different.

2524
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:11,160
Speaker 2: But I remember a few years ago there was Texans

2525
01:56:11,200 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 2: we played at Indianapolis.

2526
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're connected to that mall.

2527
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:17,760
Speaker 2: I saw at least three or four employees getting Christmas

2528
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 2: shopping done and had bags of stuff they were taking

2529
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 2: back on the plane.

2530
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:21,560
Speaker 3: Shift it back.

2531
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:22,040
Speaker 6: I don't know that.

2532
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:24,040
Speaker 1: Kansas's got a mall, but you know it was always

2533
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:26,320
Speaker 1: shopp there for the last minute shoppers, always something last

2534
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:26,920
Speaker 1: minute shoppers.

2535
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 3: Nick, thanks a lot, good luck, Thanks fellas.

2536
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 4: There's our conversation with general manager and Executive vice president

2537
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 4: Nick Cassario coming up. Let's visit with the player now.

2538
01:56:36,240 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 4: Tim Settle making a lot of noise at defensive tackle.

2539
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 4: Former Buffalo Bill outstanding contribution from him this year. Let's

Speaker 4: sat down with him here in the Hyunday Texans Radio studio.

2548
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 3: One of our faves.

2549
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:13,839
Speaker 4: Tim Settle quickly becoming one of my favorite all time Texans.

2550
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:15,560
Speaker 4: I don't know what, Jim, I think. You know you're

2551
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 4: making plays. You're great to visit with in studio. We

2553
01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:25,040
Speaker 4: last caught up, more plays made and division clinched.

2554
01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 1: What's your reaction to all that?

2555
01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:30,360
Speaker 5: Uh? I mean I feel like, you know, uh, season alone.

2556
01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 5: You know, you have your upsen your downads, but it's

2557
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 5: all about what you do towards this part right here. Yeah,

2558
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:37,800
Speaker 5: it's all about durability, who's available, you know. Uh, it's

2559
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 5: all about guy stepping up, and it's all about making plays,

2560
01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:42,240
Speaker 5: you know. And I feel like we've been taking in

2561
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:44,400
Speaker 5: one week at a time and when you look back,

2562
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,240
Speaker 5: it's like dang okay, But then we look at where

2563
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:48,360
Speaker 5: we're at, you know, I feel like we achieve what

2564
01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 5: we want to. Now it's time to chief the next day.

2565
01:57:50,200 --> 01:57:52,960
Speaker 2: So Tim, you guys win the division. But you you

2566
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:55,120
Speaker 2: don't know that when you're in the locker room. So

2567
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:59,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday afternoon, as the Colts and Broncos are playing,

2568
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 2: are you watching it? Are you not watching? You're not

2569
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:04,000
Speaker 2: paying attention. You hang with family, hang with friends. How

2570
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 2: do you guys kind of communicate amongst one another? You

2571
01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 2: guys want a division championship? I definitely I had a

2572
01:58:09,600 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 2: game on with my family.

2573
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:14,920
Speaker 5: You know, Uh, football is uh, we probe for my

2574
01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 5: family with football. So you know, obviously, you know, whatever situation,

2575
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:20,880
Speaker 5: the team I'm on, my family's behind and they're just

2576
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 5: is locked in as the team. So you know, it

2577
01:58:22,880 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 5: was good just being able to see that, and it

2578
01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 5: was just kind of it was easy to tell we

2579
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:29,600
Speaker 5: clinched it. I mean later and later on watching that game.

2580
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:31,440
Speaker 5: But yeah, you know, this is all about us now

2581
01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 5: from here on up.

2582
01:58:32,400 --> 01:58:33,600
Speaker 3: Tim Settle joining us.

2583
01:58:33,600 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 4: All right, nine defensive linemen were active for Sunday's game.

2584
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:39,480
Speaker 4: I'm looking down and thinking one, two, three, So nine.

2585
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 4: You guys rotate a lot, You play a ton. Obviously,

2586
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:47,200
Speaker 4: what is the ethic like among you guys? It's who's

2587
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 4: going to make the next play? Is it a sort

2588
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:52,520
Speaker 4: of internal competition pushing each other to succeed?

2589
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:53,320
Speaker 3: How does that work for you?

2590
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 5: I feel like we have a high competition in our room.

2591
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:56,200
Speaker 1: You know.

2592
01:58:56,760 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 5: Obviously we got a guy like d Jyne Will you know, Edge,

2593
01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:02,760
Speaker 5: you know, and we got guys like like me, Rio

2594
01:59:03,120 --> 01:59:06,680
Speaker 5: got Nigo, So everything's a competition, you know. And I

2595
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:09,520
Speaker 5: feel like our coach does a good job telling her

2596
01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:11,040
Speaker 5: like who's gonna pop it off? And you know, I

2597
01:59:11,080 --> 01:59:13,360
Speaker 5: feel like this is a competition the whole time. Like

2598
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 5: even like if we get pressure on a quarterback or

2599
01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:18,600
Speaker 5: if somebody get a sacking and I was winning or

2600
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:20,480
Speaker 5: something like that, it's a race at a quarterback. So

2601
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:23,040
Speaker 5: it's a big competition every day, and practice is a

2602
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 5: big competition every week during the games.

2603
01:59:25,400 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 1: So one of the things that Dimiko said to us

2604
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:32,160
Speaker 1: and I thought it was, I think, Nick, we're talking

2605
01:59:32,200 --> 01:59:36,520
Speaker 1: about how you guys played the screens on Sunday.

2606
01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 2: Because Miami's a big screen team, they don't run it

2607
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:42,120
Speaker 2: exceptionally well. So they throw that little little slip screen

2608
01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:44,960
Speaker 2: to a chan and then he goes and a lot

2609
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,360
Speaker 2: of teams he's had success against the lineman's run field.

2610
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:49,920
Speaker 2: Then they're just lazy and then they stopped playing. You

2611
01:59:49,920 --> 01:59:53,400
Speaker 2: guys recognized screen the other day and took off running,

2612
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 2: and that seemed to be a massive focus. How did

2613
01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 2: that kind of go throughout the week because you guys

2614
01:59:58,000 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 2: were talking about it, Tim, and how did you guys

2615
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:01,400
Speaker 2: put that in practicing the game on Sunday?

2616
02:00:01,720 --> 02:00:03,840
Speaker 5: Obviously BAM was a heavy screen team. You know, I

2617
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:06,080
Speaker 5: think they had eleven screens the game before us. You know,

2618
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 5: that's that's fairly hot. Wow, I feel like that's more

2619
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:12,240
Speaker 5: than double the usual team. The run screens or you

2620
02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:14,480
Speaker 5: don't see you don't see screens, Like that's like amount

2621
02:00:14,480 --> 02:00:17,320
Speaker 5: of screens you see in like three weeks worth of playing. Yeah,

2622
02:00:17,120 --> 02:00:19,800
Speaker 5: uh so we were prepping for real well, and you know,

2623
02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:23,560
Speaker 5: I feel like coaches emphasized, you know, trust your keys

2624
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:27,160
Speaker 5: and you know they're there. They weren't really like physical blocking.

2625
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:31,560
Speaker 5: You know, they're more more blocking for screens, perimeter runs,

2626
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:36,040
Speaker 5: the more position blocking, just getting in the way. And

2627
02:00:36,120 --> 02:00:38,680
Speaker 5: like when I'm talking about the keys were like like

2628
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:40,920
Speaker 5: the keys were keys and like they were keying, like

2629
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:43,440
Speaker 5: the keys was like everything was on, Like we get

2630
02:00:43,440 --> 02:00:46,320
Speaker 5: off the rock, they don't, They're not their screen. It

2631
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:48,160
Speaker 5: was just it was just simple to the point where

2632
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:50,560
Speaker 5: it's like the more we was getting off the ball

2633
02:00:50,600 --> 02:00:52,240
Speaker 5: and the more we was feeling their presence, the more

2634
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:54,320
Speaker 5: we weren't feeling their presence was just new or something different.

2635
02:00:54,480 --> 02:00:57,440
Speaker 4: How hard is it as a d Lineman tim to

2636
02:00:57,520 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 4: be physical but recognize those things, keep your head on

2637
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:03,920
Speaker 4: a swivel, be intellectual and physical at the same time,

2638
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:06,080
Speaker 4: because it's got to be tough. You have to think

2639
02:01:06,160 --> 02:01:09,560
Speaker 4: quickly and act quickly and viciously really.

2640
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:13,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well it's crazy because, uh, the line tells you

2641
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 5: where the ball is going every time. So like I

2642
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:17,320
Speaker 5: feel like, like with our defense, if you're still in

2643
02:01:17,320 --> 02:01:21,480
Speaker 5: your track and they're doing what they're blocking the way

2644
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:23,400
Speaker 5: they block, like obviously they're going to take you to

2645
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:26,440
Speaker 5: the ball. And when you got everybody playing at a

2646
02:01:26,480 --> 02:01:28,920
Speaker 5: high level, when everybody swarming to the ball, like the

2647
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:30,960
Speaker 5: players that people are not supposed to make their making

2648
02:01:31,520 --> 02:01:33,520
Speaker 5: just because of stuff like that, swarming to the ball,

2649
02:01:33,560 --> 02:01:36,960
Speaker 5: getting gods a cut back, right, getting give giving guys

2650
02:01:37,120 --> 02:01:39,120
Speaker 5: another chance to be able to pursue the rock.

2651
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 2: Tim we played on basically every night possible, and now

2652
02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:46,280
Speaker 2: we get to play on Saturday, which makes you feel

2653
02:01:46,320 --> 02:01:49,400
Speaker 2: like college play every game on Maybe Hoki's played something

2654
02:01:49,440 --> 02:01:51,680
Speaker 2: on Thursday night, but you played a lot of games

2655
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,760
Speaker 2: in college on Saturday. And I know it's different college

2656
02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:57,160
Speaker 2: because you're playing every Saturday. Now you're playing Sunday Saturdays.

2657
02:01:57,200 --> 02:01:59,880
Speaker 2: She got one less day, but you are playing on

2658
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:01,760
Speaker 2: a day. That's really really cool. What are your thoughts

2659
02:02:01,800 --> 02:02:05,000
Speaker 2: about playing on Saturday and then playing in Kansas City.

2660
02:02:05,200 --> 02:02:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've played there before. What's it like playing

2661
02:02:07,720 --> 02:02:09,680
Speaker 2: in Arrowhead and what's it like playing on Saturday.

2662
02:02:10,760 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 5: I love any kind of game that's under other Sunday

2663
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:14,840
Speaker 5: cause I feel like in the NFL is a prom

2664
02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:17,520
Speaker 5: tongue game. You know, if people are watching, Yeah, I

2665
02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:20,000
Speaker 5: feel like if somebody cut the TV on this NFL

2666
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:22,000
Speaker 5: game and you're gonna watch it, yeah, you know, I

2667
02:02:22,040 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 5: feel like this, like this, this game right here is

2668
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:28,480
Speaker 5: this is this is the next one. You know's nothing

2669
02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:30,400
Speaker 5: bigger than and it's nothing bigger than the last one.

2670
02:02:30,400 --> 02:02:33,320
Speaker 5: It's not nothing bigger than the next one's coming up.

2671
02:02:33,360 --> 02:02:36,120
Speaker 5: But this is a hostile environment. You know, their fans

2672
02:02:36,120 --> 02:02:38,280
Speaker 5: are really into him. You know, this is a really

2673
02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:40,800
Speaker 5: good team that we're going against. They got an elite quarterback.

2674
02:02:41,320 --> 02:02:44,280
Speaker 5: You know, I feel like their fans are They're really

2675
02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 5: involved in the defensive, especially being loud. You know, I

2676
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 5: feel like they stay in the game the whole game,

2677
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,000
Speaker 5: and they know, like just off the past like that.

2678
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:55,720
Speaker 5: They're in the game every game. So you definitely feel

2679
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:58,200
Speaker 5: that energy from them. But that's nothing to hit some

2680
02:02:58,240 --> 02:02:58,840
Speaker 5: money in them all.

2681
02:02:59,200 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 4: Tim Settle with Tim, you've been in the league a while,

2682
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:03,680
Speaker 4: but you're still only twenty seven years old.

2683
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: So you've talked about this a little bit before.

2684
02:03:06,600 --> 02:03:10,000
Speaker 4: But you continue to rise, you continue to ascend in

2685
02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 4: your personal game. What does that take for you? You work

2686
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:15,560
Speaker 4: on that. I know you guys are a team, you're

2687
02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:19,480
Speaker 4: all brothers on the team, but you're out to improve yourself.

2688
02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 1: So how do you do that?

2689
02:03:20,800 --> 02:03:23,960
Speaker 5: Well, it's crazy because I feel like I bring their

2690
02:03:24,080 --> 02:03:25,960
Speaker 5: energy to this team every day. Like when I walk

2691
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:28,600
Speaker 5: in the locker room if we're practicing that day, I

2692
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:31,000
Speaker 5: got somebody blowing airhorn every morning when I walk in,

2693
02:03:31,040 --> 02:03:32,960
Speaker 5: and I yell as well as I can, and everybody

2694
02:03:32,960 --> 02:03:34,640
Speaker 5: know that I'm in a building, you know, and I

2695
02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:36,840
Speaker 5: try to say it's consistent as I can. So only

2696
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:38,680
Speaker 5: on practice days I do that, but you can ask

2697
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:41,680
Speaker 5: anybody I'm yelling and screaming. I feel like I get

2698
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:44,400
Speaker 5: things going, you know. And another thing that, you know,

2699
02:03:44,600 --> 02:03:47,560
Speaker 5: this whole organization, the state, you know, this team, my

2700
02:03:47,600 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 5: teammates and coaches. I honestly feel like they believe in me.

2701
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,200
Speaker 5: And when you got somebody that's that bleeds in you,

2702
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:56,160
Speaker 5: in every behind you, this guy is a limit, you know.

2703
02:03:57,120 --> 02:03:59,640
Speaker 5: And I I'm not even looking at what I'm doing.

2704
02:04:00,040 --> 02:04:02,960
Speaker 5: I'm just living in a moment, you know. I definitely

2705
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 5: look at myself as one of the best defensive line

2706
02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:08,560
Speaker 5: inside in the league, you know. And I feel like

2707
02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:10,320
Speaker 5: everybody's behind me when I when I say that, when

2708
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:12,840
Speaker 5: I wrap and when I talk my trash, I feel

2709
02:04:12,840 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 5: like everybody's like, okay, yeah, And I'm not hesitant to

2710
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:17,400
Speaker 5: back it up. I don't like talking a lot of trash,

2711
02:04:17,440 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 5: but y'all gonna know about me. Y'all gonna feel me

2712
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:23,840
Speaker 5: every week, no matter what, no matter how it is.

2713
02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:26,480
Speaker 5: If I gotta take on a double team for sixty players,

2714
02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:28,720
Speaker 5: I don't mind doing that. Right If you go out,

2715
02:04:28,760 --> 02:04:30,120
Speaker 5: if you're going one on one block me, I'm gona

2716
02:04:30,120 --> 02:04:32,160
Speaker 5: embarrass you if you if y'all want to do it

2717
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:33,320
Speaker 5: and you run the ball to me, I'm gonna make

2718
02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:35,960
Speaker 5: the play like if you run away from him and

2719
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:37,880
Speaker 5: try to get to you. But I mean, but it's

2720
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 5: all about this, the this, this the energy that this

2721
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:43,400
Speaker 5: team has behind me, and this the whole organization, you know.

2722
02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 5: I just I feel the presence of like, you know,

Speaker 5: up for the competition and this game. I'm taking this

2726
02:04:51,360 --> 02:04:53,200
Speaker 5: game personal, this game personal to me.

2727
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to be mare Beolice and me, and

2728
02:04:55,480 --> 02:04:57,360
Speaker 2: so that makes me feel good to Tim. So that's

2729
02:04:57,520 --> 02:04:59,880
Speaker 2: that's how I get my best talking on the MI

2730
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:02,880
Speaker 2: with that for sure, Kent's city pretty good.

2731
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:06,000
Speaker 1: On the interior. They've been around, they've seen some things.

2732
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:10,360
Speaker 2: Have you faced this combination of what they have inside

2733
02:05:10,440 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 2: and how difficult a task is it for you, guys?

2734
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:15,320
Speaker 2: Tim with especially, there are three guys inside.

2735
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:17,600
Speaker 5: Last year I played against him when I was in

2736
02:05:17,600 --> 02:05:20,560
Speaker 5: Buffalo and I was in past face. Yeah, I got

2737
02:05:20,560 --> 02:05:22,320
Speaker 5: a couple quarterback hits, all right, a quarterback head. I

2738
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:26,320
Speaker 5: didn't play that much. Yeah, But this inside knowson, you okay,

2739
02:05:26,360 --> 02:05:28,040
Speaker 5: and they know that. I know that, they know you're.

2740
02:05:27,920 --> 02:05:28,880
Speaker 3: Looking forward to that challenge.

2741
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Nice.

2742
02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:32,720
Speaker 5: I'm going at anybody, anybody. I don't care if you

2743
02:05:33,160 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 5: if you're getting paid eighteen million, I don't care if

2744
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 5: you your contract year. I don't care if you just

2745
02:05:38,520 --> 02:05:41,800
Speaker 5: gotta pull it up what you're gonna do, because when

2746
02:05:41,840 --> 02:05:45,360
Speaker 5: I'm passed, come on. So when you look at the film, right,

2747
02:05:45,480 --> 02:05:47,200
Speaker 5: and I'm not worried about what nothing I gotta do.

2748
02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 5: They gotta they gotta block me, they gotta block us.

2749
02:05:49,960 --> 02:05:50,600
Speaker 1: True, all right.

2750
02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:53,560
Speaker 4: Earlier the season, you took out Buffalo, you won the game.

2751
02:05:53,760 --> 02:05:56,240
Speaker 4: You really roughed up Josh Allen a lot of you

2752
02:05:56,240 --> 02:05:58,160
Speaker 4: had a terrible game here, worst game of the season

2753
02:05:58,200 --> 02:06:02,080
Speaker 4: for him. What was it like in Buffalo in practice

2754
02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:04,800
Speaker 4: with Josh Allen? Because it's very entertaining to watch when

2755
02:06:04,800 --> 02:06:07,880
Speaker 4: we're not involved. He's had some big games this season,

2756
02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:10,680
Speaker 4: no doubt. What was that like being around him in Buffalo?

2757
02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:13,920
Speaker 5: Josh's like, like, I know, we going against Pat. Josh's

2758
02:06:13,920 --> 02:06:16,440
Speaker 5: elite quarterback in this league. You know, he has his

2759
02:06:16,520 --> 02:06:18,080
Speaker 5: ups and his downs, but at the end of the day,

2760
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:21,760
Speaker 5: he's elite quarterback. He's always up for every conversation. And

2761
02:06:21,760 --> 02:06:24,600
Speaker 5: and it's crazy because like you were, like, he practices

2762
02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:25,400
Speaker 5: just like he plays.

2763
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:25,560
Speaker 2: Man.

2764
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 5: Oh really, he doesn't run it as much in practice,

2765
02:06:27,960 --> 02:06:29,960
Speaker 5: but like the throws that he's able to make, like this,

2766
02:06:30,440 --> 02:06:33,280
Speaker 5: how smart he is, the arm strength, he has like

2767
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:36,480
Speaker 5: everything you want from quarterback. Yeah, he got he got touched,

2768
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:39,960
Speaker 5: he got power, he got he got range. You know,

2769
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 5: he can, he's versatile when it comes to running the ball.

2770
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:45,560
Speaker 5: You know, he's an elite guy, you know. Uh, and

2771
02:06:45,640 --> 02:06:48,280
Speaker 5: that shows, you know, and Buffalo WANs on him a lot,

2772
02:06:48,360 --> 02:06:51,200
Speaker 5: and like that's it's for a reason, like he's really

2773
02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:52,440
Speaker 5: he's really an elite quarterback.

2774
02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:54,880
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, So I'm gonna tell you a little

2775
02:06:54,880 --> 02:06:57,280
Speaker 2: bit of a story. It will lead to my question.

2776
02:06:57,520 --> 02:07:00,320
Speaker 2: So on Saturday and watching Army Navy game and they

2777
02:07:00,320 --> 02:07:03,320
Speaker 2: get a text. I'm behind the game with DVR and

2778
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:07,440
Speaker 2: I get a text from Drew and you know Drew,

2779
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:10,160
Speaker 2: and Drew says, Frank Ross needs to put in this

2780
02:07:10,320 --> 02:07:13,640
Speaker 2: fake punt and snap it to Tim Settle.

2781
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:15,360
Speaker 1: And let him run. So, I don't know, did you

2782
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:16,960
Speaker 1: watch the Army Navy game the other day?

2783
02:07:17,040 --> 02:07:19,400
Speaker 5: I think I did see that, I think, and maybe

2784
02:07:19,520 --> 02:07:20,120
Speaker 5: snapped it.

2785
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:22,080
Speaker 2: They have two they have like what they call the

2786
02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:24,360
Speaker 2: elephants instead of personal protector. They snapped it to the

2787
02:07:24,360 --> 02:07:26,960
Speaker 2: big dude and he took off. He had he had

2788
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:30,600
Speaker 2: some speed. He flew up the field. Now he fumbled

2789
02:07:30,600 --> 02:07:32,200
Speaker 2: the ball. They got back on it, but he was

2790
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:34,240
Speaker 2: flying up the field and Drew was like, we need

2791
02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:36,920
Speaker 2: to put that in with Tim Settle. So my question,

2792
02:07:37,200 --> 02:07:39,400
Speaker 2: when was the last time you carried the ball in

2793
02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:39,880
Speaker 2: a game.

2794
02:07:40,600 --> 02:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Does it go back to the high school or did

2795
02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:42,640
Speaker 1: you do that Virginia Tech?

2796
02:07:43,480 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 5: When I was at Virginia taken play kickoff return. Okay,

2797
02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:48,640
Speaker 5: and uh it's crazy. I got the ball. I got

2798
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:50,200
Speaker 5: the ball kicked to me. Two weeks in a row,

2799
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:53,480
Speaker 5: we played against put against Notre Dame, and they kicked

2800
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:54,680
Speaker 5: it to me and the you know most of the

2801
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 5: time they say let the ball roll back to the Yeah,

2802
02:07:57,080 --> 02:07:58,400
Speaker 5: I went to attack the ball.

2803
02:07:58,640 --> 02:07:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2804
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 5: I thought I play running back growing up. So I

2805
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:03,160
Speaker 5: picked the ball up and they flipped me right on

2806
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:05,880
Speaker 5: my helmet. And then the next week I guess they

2807
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:07,720
Speaker 5: kind of like seeing like they could take advantage of it,

2808
02:08:07,720 --> 02:08:09,480
Speaker 5: they kicked the right to me again. I'll take it again,

2809
02:08:09,720 --> 02:08:11,200
Speaker 5: and it made me fumbled, but I got back on

2810
02:08:11,240 --> 02:08:13,040
Speaker 5: the ball. But I'm like, hold up, But I got

Speaker 4: very lofty expectations and would love to enter the postseason

2911
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:18,240
Speaker 4: on a high note. On high notes anyway, let's get

2912
02:12:18,280 --> 02:12:22,520
Speaker 4: to defensive backs coach and defensive passing game coordinator Corey Undlin.

2913
02:12:22,800 --> 02:12:25,840
Speaker 4: Johnny Harris and I visited with him in studio. Thanks

2914
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 4: for having me back, appreciate it. We wanted to have

2915
02:12:28,280 --> 02:12:30,360
Speaker 4: you back because we had such a fun visit last time.

2916
02:12:30,240 --> 02:12:32,840
Speaker 1: And a little awesome, so we had to bring you back.

2917
02:12:32,920 --> 02:12:35,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, dividends were paid too on the field, because

2918
02:12:35,920 --> 02:12:38,880
Speaker 4: your guys are playing pretty darn well, very nice out

2919
02:12:38,920 --> 02:12:39,720
Speaker 4: against the Dolphins.

2920
02:12:39,760 --> 02:12:41,120
Speaker 3: Anyway, your thoughts, yeah, I.

2921
02:12:41,080 --> 02:12:45,480
Speaker 13: Would say, very proud of all those guys that I mean,

2922
02:12:45,520 --> 02:12:49,840
Speaker 13: you guys know the Dolphins and Mike and too. That

2923
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:53,120
Speaker 13: was a tall task motions fence as he gets the

2924
02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:53,680
Speaker 13: ball out.

2925
02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:55,720
Speaker 3: I thought the Miko's plan was.

2926
02:12:57,240 --> 02:13:02,560
Speaker 13: Awesome, and then the players from the d line, linebackers

2927
02:13:03,520 --> 02:13:06,760
Speaker 13: and then the guys in the back end execution. I

2928
02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:09,320
Speaker 13: think it was probably told us to Demico the next day,

2929
02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:12,200
Speaker 13: like I felt like as a whole like that game plan,

2930
02:13:12,240 --> 02:13:14,440
Speaker 13: and then that game was probably as close as we've

2931
02:13:14,480 --> 02:13:19,880
Speaker 13: been for like sixty minutes. Obviously we want a couple

2932
02:13:19,880 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 13: of those playbacks plays back, which you always do, but

2933
02:13:22,640 --> 02:13:25,960
Speaker 13: I thought that was really close. Really proud of those guys,

2934
02:13:26,080 --> 02:13:28,879
Speaker 13: really good team to hold.

2935
02:13:28,720 --> 02:13:30,040
Speaker 3: Him to twelve.

2936
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:34,000
Speaker 13: Good effort by them, and then the stats all over

2937
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:35,520
Speaker 13: the placement. The guy doesn't turn it over, he gets

2938
02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:37,320
Speaker 13: it out so fast, he makes good decisions. I think

2939
02:13:37,360 --> 02:13:40,560
Speaker 13: Mike does a great job with him. And then to

2940
02:13:40,640 --> 02:13:43,560
Speaker 13: come out there and with Demiko the calls and the

2941
02:13:43,600 --> 02:13:46,840
Speaker 13: game plan. I thought the first play the game was

2942
02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:50,320
Speaker 13: telling yeah, oh yeah, he got the first one. Yeah

2943
02:13:50,320 --> 02:13:52,600
Speaker 13: fell when Yeah, he went to the left, he went

2944
02:13:52,640 --> 02:13:54,280
Speaker 13: to his left, and he went down the middle, went

2945
02:13:54,320 --> 02:13:55,880
Speaker 13: to the right, dumped it out there, and then Sting

2946
02:13:55,960 --> 02:13:58,720
Speaker 13: shows up makes a tackle for minus four or five

2947
02:13:58,760 --> 02:14:01,240
Speaker 13: whatever that was. It was like, oh, and then it

2948
02:14:01,320 --> 02:14:03,560
Speaker 13: kind of continued on. There's such a I mean the

2949
02:14:03,600 --> 02:14:06,280
Speaker 13: screen game out on the perimeter. They got us a

2950
02:14:06,280 --> 02:14:08,680
Speaker 13: few times on some of that, but yeah, really proud

2951
02:14:08,680 --> 02:14:10,640
Speaker 13: of those guys. And then to get three turnovers, like

2952
02:14:10,840 --> 02:14:13,920
Speaker 13: you said, really four three with the picks and then

2953
02:14:13,760 --> 02:14:17,120
Speaker 13: the sacophone what was obviously made a huge difference in

2954
02:14:17,200 --> 02:14:17,520
Speaker 13: the game.

2955
02:14:17,720 --> 02:14:18,000
Speaker 7: Coach.

2956
02:14:18,040 --> 02:14:20,680
Speaker 2: You mentioned it with Miami, with Tua and with Tyreek.

2957
02:14:20,800 --> 02:14:25,080
Speaker 2: That's that's an explosive. It's a fast offense. They can

2958
02:14:25,160 --> 02:14:27,280
Speaker 2: create explosive plays now they have been doing it the

2959
02:14:27,280 --> 02:14:29,760
Speaker 2: clip that they had in the past. But still, you know,

2960
02:14:29,840 --> 02:14:32,920
Speaker 2: Achan could take catch one at seven and take a seven.

2961
02:14:33,040 --> 02:14:33,560
Speaker 5: You know all that.

2962
02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:36,480
Speaker 2: You guys did such a great job of holding the

2963
02:14:36,520 --> 02:14:40,440
Speaker 2: explosives in check. What was kind of the biggest thing

2964
02:14:40,480 --> 02:14:42,680
Speaker 2: that you guys had to focus on to make sure

2965
02:14:42,720 --> 02:14:45,520
Speaker 2: that they didn't create the fifty to sixty seven yard

2966
02:14:45,560 --> 02:14:46,160
Speaker 2: explosive play.

2967
02:14:46,280 --> 02:14:48,760
Speaker 13: Yeah, I would say that could We could talk about

2968
02:14:48,760 --> 02:14:52,240
Speaker 13: that for about thirty minutes. But regardless of what the

2969
02:14:52,320 --> 02:14:55,440
Speaker 13: coverage or what the game plan was, and all comes

2970
02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:57,880
Speaker 13: to any explosive always comes down to everybody just doing

2971
02:14:57,920 --> 02:15:00,520
Speaker 13: exactly what you're supposed to do. We could pay coverage

2972
02:15:00,520 --> 02:15:02,000
Speaker 13: and I could probably draw it up and be like, hey,

2973
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:04,680
Speaker 13: if they do this in this coverage, It's hard to

2974
02:15:04,720 --> 02:15:08,200
Speaker 13: do that for sixty But I think the way that

2975
02:15:08,320 --> 02:15:11,920
Speaker 13: Demico put that package together, and then the way that

2976
02:15:11,960 --> 02:15:14,160
Speaker 13: we practiced it and went through the week, and the

2977
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:16,320
Speaker 13: and the guys just going out there every day with

2978
02:15:16,360 --> 02:15:18,600
Speaker 13: the mindset of like, hey man, we are we have

2979
02:15:18,680 --> 02:15:21,080
Speaker 13: to be on top of it, or hence you get

2980
02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:23,320
Speaker 13: what you just described ball down the field all of

2981
02:15:23,360 --> 02:15:25,440
Speaker 13: a sudden, it's thirty five to sit. I mean, it

2982
02:15:25,480 --> 02:15:28,840
Speaker 13: can get out of hand real quick. So the covers

2983
02:15:28,880 --> 02:15:31,040
Speaker 13: basspack really had a piece. And then I'm always going

2984
02:15:31,120 --> 02:15:34,320
Speaker 13: to go back to the players, the preparation, the study,

2985
02:15:34,400 --> 02:15:36,400
Speaker 13: the meetings, everything during the week, and then to be

2986
02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:38,240
Speaker 13: able to go out there and execute it. That's that's

2987
02:15:38,240 --> 02:15:40,600
Speaker 13: how you keep it. Yep, hopefully a low number. And

2988
02:15:40,640 --> 02:15:41,320
Speaker 13: that's what happened.

2989
02:15:41,400 --> 02:15:45,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, Corey Andlin joining us defensive passing game coordinator

2990
02:15:45,080 --> 02:15:48,040
Speaker 4: for the Texans. Let's talk about the rookies here, because

2991
02:15:48,120 --> 02:15:51,360
Speaker 4: Kamari I mean to talk about what you're getting out

2992
02:15:51,360 --> 02:15:53,960
Speaker 4: of him. Let's start with him, coach, because that's a

2993
02:15:54,160 --> 02:15:55,760
Speaker 4: very tough spot playing outside.

2994
02:15:55,800 --> 02:15:56,760
Speaker 3: We had him here in studio.

2995
02:15:56,760 --> 02:15:58,200
Speaker 4: We talked about, Hey, a lot of people thought when

2996
02:15:58,200 --> 02:16:00,160
Speaker 4: you're drafted, you're going to be a nickel here something thing,

2997
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:01,320
Speaker 4: But clearly you're not.

2998
02:16:01,720 --> 02:16:02,800
Speaker 1: What about his progress?

2999
02:16:03,200 --> 02:16:08,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's exactly why we drafted him. Yeah, I think

3000
02:16:08,200 --> 02:16:10,720
Speaker 13: there's a he could He honestly could go in there

3001
02:16:10,720 --> 02:16:12,040
Speaker 13: and play it. He's doing it a little bit for

3002
02:16:12,120 --> 02:16:14,160
Speaker 13: us right now, just in spurts. But when you have

3003
02:16:14,160 --> 02:16:16,680
Speaker 13: a player like that, then go outside line up. He

3004
02:16:16,720 --> 02:16:18,560
Speaker 13: doesn't care him. Man, You just some of the coverages.

3005
02:16:18,600 --> 02:16:19,720
Speaker 13: Tell me what you want me to do.

3006
02:16:20,040 --> 02:16:22,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do everything I can to the best my ability.

3007
02:16:22,680 --> 02:16:25,480
Speaker 13: I'm gonna go and do it, which is if I

3008
02:16:25,520 --> 02:16:27,760
Speaker 13: go back to the tape, like watching him come out,

3009
02:16:27,760 --> 02:16:29,360
Speaker 13: it's like the first thing that stood out to me.

3010
02:16:29,400 --> 02:16:30,800
Speaker 13: I might have said this the last time we heard

3011
02:16:30,800 --> 02:16:34,120
Speaker 13: I can't remember, but like this kid's like play style

3012
02:16:34,280 --> 02:16:37,200
Speaker 13: and mindset, like it just jumped off the tape at

3013
02:16:37,240 --> 02:16:39,879
Speaker 13: you and it was just like, okay, this watching this

3014
02:16:39,959 --> 02:16:43,520
Speaker 13: kid in college, like you everything that the Houston Texans

3015
02:16:43,600 --> 02:16:46,280
Speaker 13: right now stand for. Like that's what you saw on

3016
02:16:46,320 --> 02:16:49,120
Speaker 13: the tape, and from the second he got there, it

3017
02:16:49,160 --> 02:16:53,359
Speaker 13: has never wavered, has never wavered. Obviously it's ball production.

3018
02:16:53,840 --> 02:16:56,080
Speaker 13: I mean it's one of the most physical and that

3019
02:16:56,120 --> 02:16:58,640
Speaker 13: showed up on the tape. Sometimes it doesn't look like

3020
02:16:58,640 --> 02:17:00,680
Speaker 13: that when they get to the league, but if you

3021
02:17:00,720 --> 02:17:05,240
Speaker 13: watch him on the perimeter, even on Sunday, this guy

3022
02:17:05,440 --> 02:17:11,400
Speaker 13: is a physical enjoys contact, like looks for opportunities to

3023
02:17:11,520 --> 02:17:15,199
Speaker 13: go in there and get physical and do his deal.

3024
02:17:15,320 --> 02:17:19,320
Speaker 13: So he would say there's probably things that he could

3025
02:17:19,360 --> 02:17:21,760
Speaker 13: clean up, just like there is for everybody in there.

3026
02:17:21,800 --> 02:17:25,480
Speaker 13: But couldn't be happier with him and where he's headed

3027
02:17:25,800 --> 02:17:28,840
Speaker 13: not there yet, but he's got a great, great start.

3028
02:17:29,160 --> 02:17:29,400
Speaker 7: Coach.

3029
02:17:29,480 --> 02:17:33,039
Speaker 2: One of my favorite plays actually a long time was

3030
02:17:33,080 --> 02:17:36,600
Speaker 2: the third and five where Sting picks it off on

3031
02:17:36,640 --> 02:17:41,680
Speaker 2: our sideline, the first of the two interceptions. Because everybody

3032
02:17:41,720 --> 02:17:43,920
Speaker 2: that knows football looks at it and says, well, Tyreek's

3033
02:17:43,959 --> 02:17:46,200
Speaker 2: in the slot and Derek Stinglely went with him.

3034
02:17:47,200 --> 02:17:48,520
Speaker 1: We know that's man coverage.

3035
02:17:48,560 --> 02:17:51,600
Speaker 2: Everybody in the building, the Dolphins know it, y'all know it.

3036
02:17:51,600 --> 02:17:52,600
Speaker 5: It is man.

3037
02:17:52,360 --> 02:17:53,560
Speaker 3: Coverage, to one knows it.

3038
02:17:54,000 --> 02:17:56,480
Speaker 2: And yet your guy came down with the ball and

3039
02:17:56,520 --> 02:17:59,039
Speaker 2: made that particular play. And I know you mentioned it

3040
02:17:59,040 --> 02:18:01,440
Speaker 2: and you allude to this, and that is we can

3041
02:18:01,480 --> 02:18:02,320
Speaker 2: make all the calls we want.

3042
02:18:02,440 --> 02:18:04,600
Speaker 1: The players got to go make the plays. But in

3043
02:18:04,640 --> 02:18:05,879
Speaker 1: that situation where.

3044
02:18:05,680 --> 02:18:08,480
Speaker 2: Sting it is, that is one on one, it's one

3045
02:18:08,520 --> 02:18:11,120
Speaker 2: of the best in the league, and Sting goes and wins.

3046
02:18:11,920 --> 02:18:13,640
Speaker 1: How did you how did you kind of feel about.

3047
02:18:13,400 --> 02:18:16,119
Speaker 2: That moment, knowing they're going there and our guy's got

3048
02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:17,200
Speaker 2: to go make a play, and then he did.

3049
02:18:17,560 --> 02:18:19,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, before the before they came out of the huddle,

3050
02:18:20,400 --> 02:18:22,680
Speaker 13: obviously that ball was on the I was in the

3051
02:18:22,760 --> 02:18:26,280
Speaker 13: high red zone, yep. So you know you need to

3052
02:18:26,320 --> 02:18:28,320
Speaker 13: stop right there with the games about to flip. So

3053
02:18:29,720 --> 02:18:32,240
Speaker 13: I would say, anytime he gets lined up in man coverage,

3054
02:18:33,400 --> 02:18:36,879
Speaker 13: regardless of who it is, do you feel pretty good?

3055
02:18:36,879 --> 02:18:38,200
Speaker 13: And I'm not saying that just because I'm in here

3056
02:18:38,200 --> 02:18:41,000
Speaker 13: in extent, and you feel pretty good about that matchup.

3057
02:18:41,640 --> 02:18:43,920
Speaker 13: The thing that was the most pressive about that was

3058
02:18:45,200 --> 02:18:48,280
Speaker 13: that route. Like we got a bunch of names for

3059
02:18:48,320 --> 02:18:50,920
Speaker 13: what they for what we call the plays, but that

3060
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:54,360
Speaker 13: was basically an outside release like he's gonna run. We

3061
02:18:54,480 --> 02:18:56,720
Speaker 13: call it an inside seam or a big box fade,

3062
02:18:56,920 --> 02:18:58,400
Speaker 13: which that ball would get thrown in the corner of

3063
02:18:58,440 --> 02:19:00,160
Speaker 13: the end zone, which they have all over the tight

3064
02:19:00,320 --> 02:19:02,320
Speaker 13: with ten in the same spot. And then instead of

3065
02:19:02,360 --> 02:19:04,359
Speaker 13: doing that, he snapped it off and then ran a comeback,

3066
02:19:05,480 --> 02:19:09,560
Speaker 13: which is prob yeah it is, and man covers. It's

3067
02:19:09,560 --> 02:19:11,360
Speaker 13: probably one of the hardest rouss to cover because if

3068
02:19:11,400 --> 02:19:13,400
Speaker 13: you're the nickel or you're the corner and that guy's

3069
02:19:13,520 --> 02:19:15,560
Speaker 13: running as fast as you can to the corner of

3070
02:19:15,560 --> 02:19:16,800
Speaker 13: the end zone, you need to get to the corner

3071
02:19:16,800 --> 02:19:17,959
Speaker 13: of the enzone. All of a sudden he go shuts

3072
02:19:17,959 --> 02:19:20,200
Speaker 13: it down, I mean, and then he actually undercuts it

3073
02:19:20,200 --> 02:19:21,360
Speaker 13: and then ends up breaking it off.

3074
02:19:21,400 --> 02:19:23,280
Speaker 3: Like you can't even draw that up now.

3075
02:19:23,480 --> 02:19:27,360
Speaker 13: Shocked for that it's staying no, but that play has

3076
02:19:27,400 --> 02:19:30,200
Speaker 13: not made very many times. And then that obviously you

3077
02:19:30,280 --> 02:19:32,480
Speaker 13: ended up didn't secure it, but that ends up changing

3078
02:19:32,480 --> 02:19:34,920
Speaker 13: that entire momentum of the game. They're going in, they're

3079
02:19:34,920 --> 02:19:37,960
Speaker 13: gonna get points, a huge, huge moment in the game.

3080
02:19:38,280 --> 02:19:40,560
Speaker 4: One more on the rookies, Canlon and Kamari. When you

3081
02:19:40,600 --> 02:19:43,039
Speaker 4: look at the time of year that it is and

3082
02:19:43,120 --> 02:19:45,440
Speaker 4: the so called rookie wall and all that, I guess

3083
02:19:45,520 --> 02:19:47,720
Speaker 4: that buy happened at a really good time for them,

3084
02:19:47,879 --> 02:19:50,680
Speaker 4: because that could be, Hey, that's that's just our wait

3085
02:19:50,720 --> 02:19:52,840
Speaker 4: for the bowl game really and now well the.

3086
02:19:52,800 --> 02:19:55,039
Speaker 1: College football playoff and that's all. We have a lot

3087
02:19:55,040 --> 02:19:56,120
Speaker 1: of games here in the NFL.

3088
02:19:56,280 --> 02:19:58,959
Speaker 4: How do you see that part of their game, just

3089
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:00,760
Speaker 4: having gotten through all the pre draft stuff and the

3090
02:20:00,840 --> 02:20:03,000
Speaker 4: rookie stuff and here they are playing the most meaningful

3091
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:03,680
Speaker 4: games of the year.

3092
02:20:03,760 --> 02:20:06,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, there, it's almost I mean, we're creeping up on

3093
02:20:06,280 --> 02:20:08,680
Speaker 13: a year from when they it's more than a year,

3094
02:20:08,720 --> 02:20:12,200
Speaker 13: but they stop playing right into the ballgame prep. That's

3095
02:20:12,240 --> 02:20:14,680
Speaker 13: typically why you call it that, because those kids get drafted.

3096
02:20:14,720 --> 02:20:17,120
Speaker 13: They don't quit from the day the ball game's over.

3097
02:20:17,160 --> 02:20:21,080
Speaker 13: It's three sixty five until they get to their first offseason.

3098
02:20:21,120 --> 02:20:23,480
Speaker 13: But I would say both of them are very impressed

3099
02:20:23,520 --> 02:20:25,600
Speaker 13: with I think it has a lot to do with

3100
02:20:25,640 --> 02:20:28,200
Speaker 13: the culture that's year like, that's not even that's not

3101
02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:30,800
Speaker 13: really an option like if you're going to be out there,

3102
02:20:30,920 --> 02:20:33,640
Speaker 13: and both of these guys have huge, huge roles on

3103
02:20:33,680 --> 02:20:36,960
Speaker 13: this football team, specifically obviously on the defensive side, like

3104
02:20:37,200 --> 02:20:38,560
Speaker 13: there is none Now did.

3105
02:20:38,440 --> 02:20:41,760
Speaker 3: That buy help them on? One thousand percent? It help?

3106
02:20:42,240 --> 02:20:45,400
Speaker 13: It helped all of us, help the coaching. So for

3107
02:20:45,440 --> 02:20:47,199
Speaker 13: them to just kind of come back from that break

3108
02:20:47,240 --> 02:20:48,760
Speaker 13: and then just continue to go on and do what

3109
02:20:48,800 --> 02:20:51,360
Speaker 13: they want. I mean, Klen's okay, you could have had

3110
02:20:51,360 --> 02:20:55,880
Speaker 13: three in the game. I'm really impressed with that piece

3111
02:20:55,879 --> 02:20:56,200
Speaker 13: of them.

3112
02:20:56,760 --> 02:20:57,320
Speaker 3: And again I.

3113
02:20:57,560 --> 02:21:00,640
Speaker 13: Would always go back to like a the dB Steve

3114
02:21:00,920 --> 02:21:04,280
Speaker 13: at a Gokey coaching Kaylin and Dino, and like the

3115
02:21:04,360 --> 02:21:09,800
Speaker 13: room and how it's put together like Jimmy Ward, Jalen Peatree,

3116
02:21:11,720 --> 02:21:14,600
Speaker 13: those e Marie, They're not going to allow like that

3117
02:21:14,840 --> 02:21:16,880
Speaker 13: to even happen in there. So I think there's the

3118
02:21:17,320 --> 02:21:20,960
Speaker 13: culture that's in specifically in that room doesn't allow for

3119
02:21:21,040 --> 02:21:23,240
Speaker 13: that to even be a part. Not saying that that

3120
02:21:23,280 --> 02:21:25,840
Speaker 13: makes it easier on those two, but the way that

3121
02:21:25,879 --> 02:21:28,800
Speaker 13: they're playing, I'm glad they are where they are.

3122
02:21:29,040 --> 02:21:31,160
Speaker 1: Well, that's all the time we have for tonight.
